Horace Backus, WDE Industry Person of the Year

The World Dairy Expo Industry Person of the Year is Horace Backus with the Backus Pedigree Company of Mexico, New York. Talking to Horace you can’t help but be amazed by the knowledge and experiences this 82-year-old gentleman has. He cites the history of dairy cattle in this country and the “fads” his father warned him about. He says what amazes him the most is he never dreamed we would see the quality of dairy cow we see today.
