We’re one big herd.
Serving the interests of agriculture, dairy and their respective farmers and consumers. So we understand the importance of bringing dairying into the 21st century. Better technologies, higher productivity, ecologically sound methods, safer products, healthier herds — we all benefit when these things are in place.
Doing so means educating future dairy farmers and current ones. It means devising a curriculum that focuses on the agricultural, environmental, technological and business aspects of dairying. It means hands-on learning and inventive in-class instruction. It means Dairyland State Academy.
Ultimately, every dairy farm that fades from the landscape means one less touchpoint in a large economic chain — from food processors and farm equipment manufacturers, to local banks and fertilizer manufacturers. We all lose when we lose dairy.
