Dairy Farmers of America is a cooperative owned by nearly 11,000 dairy farmers. We’re proud to advocate on behalf of them & the industry. Also, follow @DFAMilk.
Cheers to #WorldMilkDay & the 1 billion people involved in the dairy industry!
We raise a glass (of🥛) to dairy farmers, dedicated employees & those who champion policies and practices that enable dairy to continue building strong bodies, communities and global economies.
We applaud the @WhiteHouse for endorsing the Healthy School Milk Commitment.
Today’s action, by the @POTUS and the @VP, is an important step in helping ensure our children continue to have choice and access to nutrient-rich milk on school breakfast and lunch trays.
At @USDA, we’ve been hard at work to support @POTUS’ goals to end hunger and reduce diet-related diseases by 2030. We’ve made a deliberate effort to prioritize nutrition security – ensuring that people have equitable access to healthy, safe, and affordable food.
A great day for dairy and for our nation’s school-aged children!
We are grateful to @CongressmanGT and @RepKimSchrier for their leadership on bringing this important resolution to a vote and championing for its passage.
For too long milk has been unfairly demonized. Today the U.S. House overwhelmingly passed Whole Milk For Healthy Kids! I look forward to restoring access to these nutritious beverages in schools across the country. 🐮🥛
We had a great time today hosting the Chairman of the House Committee on Agriculture @CongressmanGT & U.S. Congressman @RepMann, along with @AgBizKC leaders at our headquarters in Kansas City, Kan.
We discussed key legislative issues for our farmer-owners & the dairy industry.
I had a great time touring the @dfamilk Fallon Dry Milk Plant last week. This facility is supporting jobs and preparing Nevada dairy for consumers all over the world.
I'm proud to continue supporting our dairy producers and the work they do in our communities.
Thank you @SenCortezMasto for visiting the @dfamilk Ingredient Solutions plant in Fallon to discuss issues important to DFA farmer-owners and plant operations. Labor, markets and risk management tools are needed to ensure resiliency in the sector and prosperity for NV dairies!
We were #DFAProud to join farmers and ranchers across Kansas last week to meet with @EPAMichaelRegan to highlight how the regional ag community is using innovative, climate-smart solutions to help promote a more resilient food and ag system while strengthening rural economies.
Congratulations to @CongressmanGT, the newly elected chairman of @HouseAgGOP! Rep. Thompson has been a champion for American #dairy farmers since coming to Congress in 2009. We look forward to his leadership and our continued work together in the years ahead.
It’s here, Election Day 2022! No matter your affiliation, make sure to get out and vote! As is evident in the cooperative movement, democracy can be resilient and strong so long as we participate! #ElectionDay
Still time to come run the Special Olympics “Choose to Include 5k” down at Legends. Finishers get chocolate milk donated by @dfamilk, mini cows and a chance to meet DFA DEI Program Manager Antoinette Redmond and her new friend Daniel who manages social media for the race!
In Kansas City with the @FarmBureau and 200 dairy farmers and industry experts like @nmpf talking about needed changes to dairy policy to support the success of farmers in the future. Thanks for a great meeting @rogercryan
We love to see @Estebantitos speaking at @NCBACLUSA conf about ✨Guilded (Start ‘22)✨, which is creating stability and security for #freelance workers by providing income smoothing, healthcare, tax prep and more 🙌
Being member-owned and locally-based, farmer co-ops contribute to vibrant rural communities across the country through a business model with equitable and inclusive economic practices. #coopmonth
Happy National #CoOpMonth!
Dairy cooperatives are critical to the American #dairy industry, handling nearly 85 percent of U.S. milk. They provide dairy farmers with a secure market and stability while enabling producers to bargain more effectively with processors and retailers.
To celebrate National #CoopMonth, we will spotlight each of the seven cooperative principles through October. To start, the first principle is: Voluntary and Open Membership. This is all about inclusivity. Anyone can join a co-op—without discrimination.
It’s #NationalCoOpMonth!
Our Cooperative does more than just help you #EnjoyDairy.
We’re #DFAProud to strengthen the economy, empower our community and steward the land for future generations through innovation, teamwork and a Cooperative spirit.
.@USDA@SecVilsack is here this morning to speak about new initiatives to generate more market opportunities for producers across the United States, reduce emissions, and more. #StillGrowing@NASDAnews
