The dairy industry has certainly changed from the era of handmilking cows one-by-one.
In the past decade alone, change has come at lightning speed. From technology adoption and increasing efficiencies to overcoming challenges that seem to come at a rapid pace, dairy producers have rolled up their sleeves and leaned forward to embrace opportunities to advance their farms.
Today, the industry has a growth mindset, shared Michael Dykes, CEO of International Dairy Foods Association (IDFA), at the Dairy Forum in Phoenix earlier this year.
“Our farmers want to grow, and so do our processors. If we aren’t growing, if we aren’t looking toward the future, we’re going to get surpassed by others,” he says.
