A mark of vision
By 1996, the dairy industry was changing rapidly. The old way of doing dairy just wasn’t keeping up with the demand, so leaders from four of the nation’s leading milk organizations – Associated Milk Producers, Inc., Mid-America Dairymen, Inc., Milk Marketing, Inc. and Western Dairymen Cooperative, Inc. – decided to move forward. They created a new, more efficient organization to provide resources and support to family farms of all sizes, and on Jan. 1, 1998, DFA was formed.
