As this year’s @nmpf National Young Cooperators chair couple, DFA farmer-owners Erin and Kaleb Rodgers are raising their voices for the future of dairy. "If we don’t actively educate others about what dairying is really like, someone else will,” Erin says. bit.ly/3QlUQl0

We’re #DFAProud of Michael Lichte, our Chief Insights and Optimization Officer, for representing America’s dairy farmers in today’s House Agriculture Committee hearing on the importance of USMCA to U.S. dairy and applauding the passage of the Whole Milk for Healthy Kids Act. 🥛🇺🇸
🗣️WHOLE MILK SHOUT OUT BY @dfamilk
The USMCA must allow full market access for American dairy farmers. Continued updates in this space can create a more fair and balanced trade agreement for the dairy farmers who work to put wholesome, nutritious foods on breakfast (and dinner!) tables across the world.

“Why fit in when you can show up in a milk truck?”
Regan Clines, daughter of a DFA farmer-owner, did that for prom, surprising classmates with an entrance rooted in her family’s dairy legacy. What looked bold was personal, honoring generations of hard work still carried on today.

On #NationalOklahomaDay, meet DFA farmer-owner Paul Ruijne. His family has been milking cows since the early 1800s. In 2018, that Holland-born dairy legacy landed in southwest Oklahoma, where Paul now runs a 3,300-cow dairy built on the promise of always improving.

#WorldFoodSafetyDay is a reminder why pasteurization matters. It helps protect milk produced by our farmer-owners from reducing risks you can’t see, taste, or smell, like E. coli, Salmonella, and Listeria.
The standards are part of why milk remains one of the safest foods today!

On #WorldEnvironmentDay, stories like Jamie Brown’s show what sustainability looks like in practice & how everyday decisions on the farm create meaningful impact.
From upcycling food waste to recycling manure & more, we’re #DFAProud of our farmer-owners’ stewardship in action.

On #NationalCheeseDay, it’s worth looking at why cheese keeps showing up on the table.
52% of Americans call themselves “cheese-obsessed,” reaching for it not just for taste, but for versatility and protein that fits real life. 🧀

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?

Yesterday you showed what dairy really looks like: early mornings, full tables and the moments in between. Behind every photo is work most people don’t see, and the pride of getting it right.
Here’s how #WorldMilkDay showed up. Keep it going. Show us how you #EnjoyDairy all June.

Today is #WorldMilkDay! A glass of milk can mean a lot of different things, depending on who’s holding it. It reflects family legacies and building strong communities.
Behind it are farmer-owners and employees who take pride in what they do because they know what’s riding on it.

Behind the scenes, people show up for dairy every day.
From office teams to DFA employees and farmer-owners in local communities, food pantries, and through DFA Cares, that impact reaches far beyond the dairy case.
Worth celebrating as we #EnjoyDairy & head into #WorldMilkDay.

Milk doesn’t get from farm to table on its own.
It takes haulers and truckers moving milk safely, and plant teams working behind the scenes to help keep dairy fresh, ready, and available.
So, when you #EnjoyDairy, you’re also supporting the people who keep it moving every day.

It’s the cold glass after a long day. The cereal pour before the house wakes up. The ice cream cone on a warm afternoon.
Those moments start with DFA farmer-owners, and the employees who support them, focusing on care and quality.
As you #EnjoyDairy, raise a glass to them.

Behind every dairy product is a connected community.
From early mornings on the farm to the teams keeping milk safe, fresh, and ready for families, dairy supports local economies and keeps nutritious food within reach.
That’s something worth celebrating when you #EnjoyDairy.

Every time you #EnjoyDairy, you’re supporting more than what’s on your plate.
You’re backing dedicated DFA farmer-owners, passionate employees, and the communities that help keep real dairy moving from farm to table.
That’s a whole lot of good behind every sip, shred & scoop!
