I recently tuned in to the NFL football game of the Chicago Bears versus the Philadelphia Eagles

Companies need to understand what dairy farmers need

Most dairy farmers we meet around the country aren't using social media to connect with consumers

Dairy farming in the northern United States during the winter months is cold, long, and tough. My family jokes around when we say a lot of what you do during the months of December, January, and February...

“I stick to plant-based products because it’s safer.” “Almond milk is way healthier for you.” “I choose soy because it doesn’t have antibiotics in it.”

I know New Year's Day is just another day, but there’s just something about that new number that makes it feel different. It makes it feel like a fresh start, and we could use that for 2019
