HW: What’’s the biggest struggle you face as a young dairyman in today’’s industry?  Where do you see yourself five years from now? 
 
Saul Dorado Rodriguez: The greatest fight in Spain is the little support that occurs to our sector.  From raising young cattle to selling milk, we need a new milk pricing system that will stabilize the profitability of farmers and give confidence to those investing in our business.  The system of quotas, at this moment, is not safe and less and less people want to work with cows.
 
I hope that in the near future, things are solved and we receive more support from the government, since in the end, we are the producers of a food of first necessity for the world…milk. 
I hope to be able to continue working on the farm and to expand my herd a little.  Mainly, I hope to be able to continue improving the quality of the animals and consequently, raise the confidence that our clients have in our cattle.
