Over the next few weeks, we will install seven more silos. Once complete, this enhancement will add 3 million pounds of daily processing capacity to the facility.

IDFA members from across the dairy industry were in town this week advocating for dairy's top priorities, including the Whole Milk for Healthy Kids Act––a bill that would restore whole and 2% milk back in schools. We caught up with our champions Sens. Roger Marshall and Peter Welch who sponsored and led the bill to passage in the Senate last month. We also met with House Ag Chairman Glenn "GT" Thompson, the lead for the bill in the House. Join IDFA members in advocating for this important legislation at www.idfa.org/advocate. Together, we can get this bill passed in the House this month! 💪 🥛 Joe Diglio Michigan Milk Producers Association

For decades, soybeans have played a familiar role in dairy rations, a reliable source of protein, energy and amino acids. But in recent years, a new variety of the crop has emerged with the potential to reshape how dairy farmers think about feed efficiency and homegrown sustainability: high oleic soybeans.
