How U.S. dairy farmers are working to preserve the planet. Story from DairyGood
2018 U.S. Dairy Sustainability Award winner Austin Allred, wife Camille and their children. Allred was honored for his commitment to transforming his farm into a zero-waste business.I’ve had the honor of working with dairy farmers for years, and a lot of what you think about them is true. They’re modest. They’re connected to the earth. And they work incredibly hard. Every day, they’re up before dawn, working 12 and 14-hour days, whether it’s 90 degrees out or 50 degrees below zero.
Dairy farmer and environmental scientist Tara Vander Dussen with her family on their farm, Rajen Dairy.Ten years ago, the Innovation Center for U.S. Dairy — created by dairy farmers to identify best practices and unite around common goals — established a voluntary yet aggressive goal for the industry. TheToday, we are on track to meet that goal.
The U.S. dairy community’s commitment to sustainability isn’t new. It has been going on for generations. Indeed, producing milk now uses fewer natural resources than it ever has before. Over the course of the lifetime of today’s average dairy farmer, producing a gallon of milk now requires 65% less water, 90% less land and 63% less carbon emissions.
