250 years later, dairy farm families continue to help nourish communities nationwide and around the world.
Long before dawn and every day after, they care for their cows, work the land, and produce the milk that fuels families and our economy.
That's dairy, made in America. 🇺🇸

1 billion people rely on the global #DairySector for their livelihoods.
#DYK: There are 133 million dairy farms around the world — many of them female-led.

What’s cleaner than your house? Maybe the barn — if you’re at DFA farmer-owned El-VI Farms.
DFA farmer-owner Emma Andrew-Swarthout uses smart tech to keep things clean, comfy and 💩-free for the cows.
Because healthy cows make high-quality milk.
What chore would you automate?

Every day feels like #NationalMilkDay to our farmer-owners and employees.
While caring for their herds, producing high-quality dairy, supporting one another, and preserving the planet, they make farm-to-table happen 365 days a year.
Cheers to good people and good dairy! 🥛

This week is an important week for farmers. Why? Because their safety is a top priority we all need to have on the forefront of our minds. Let's "Lead the Way" during Agriculture Safety Awareness Program Week and advocate for farmer health and safety!
