Dairy Management Inc. (DMI), the planning and management organization that oversees the national dairy checkoff program on behalf of America’s dairy farmers and importers, recently posted its 2020 annual report. You can find the report at www.usdairy.com/for-farmers/resources.

The report provides checkoff funders and other members of the dairy community key highlights of 2020 strategies and programs, an audited financial report and more information for farmers and others. The report outlines activities aligned around its board-approved priorities that focus on accelerating sales domestically and internationally, building trust with consumers and youth, positioning dairy globally and farmer and community relations.

“Our annual report is just one of many ways that farmers and other checkoff funders can learn more about their investment in the program,” said Marilyn Hershey, Pennsylvania dairy farmer and DMI chair. “Not only does the report share examples of 2020 outcomes, it offers links to more information for those who want to take a deeper dive in certain areas of work.”

Hershey also noted that farmers and others have opportunities to learn more about current programming by subscribing to the Your Dairy Checkoff” podcast, joining the Dairy Checkoff Facebook group and signing up for the weekly Dairy Checkoff Newsletter.
