Don Kerper of Misty River Consulting said milk haulers must meet future market implications of change by developing and executing a viable financial plan that measures business costs, determines what drives the revenue stream, and shows key prospects for improving profitability.

He said at the International Milk Haulers Association Annual Convention that improvements should include route and delivery efficiency, improved energy conservation, reduction in paperwork, and standardization of farm and plant loading and unloading equipment.

"Try to improve energy efficiency, even it it's only three percent," Kerper said at the April 23-25 meeting in Branson MO.
