We are dairy farmers, allied industry members and professional advisory supporters working together to sustain and grow Kentucky's dairy industry. Dairy farmers work hard every day to provide fresh, wholesome, quality milk and dairy products to consumers. We love our land, the animals in our care and our way of life on the farm.
News and Updates
We are conducting a survey to better tailor and expand our programming to different Kentucky producers. If you are a current permitted Kentucky dairy producer, please take time to complete the survey at the link below. It should take roughly 5 minute to complete and will make a huge impact on programming that will be available to all Kentucky dairies. Thank you for your participation!
Another Great Year in Bowling Green
KDDC's Young Producer and the Kentucky Dairy Partners Meeting was held in Bowling Green on February 26 and 27 and brought together people throughout the dairy industry. This year, over 200 attendees came together to hear from industry experts from across the country and visit with 38 vendors in the trade show.
This year's speakers stimulated engaging conversations amongst attendees. One hot topic was the new break out sessions where small groups met with Dr. John Laster of Todd County Animal Clinic and Dr. Lew Strickland from University of Tennessee to hear about milk quality and maternity care. These allowed attendees to hear info directly impacting their daily activities and offered helpful tips to take back home.
We were also proud to recognize 35 dairy producers with our district and proficiency awards, as well as James Horton with the Kentucky Milk Hauler Award and Benjamin Compton with the Young Dairy Producer of Kentucky Award. Congratulations to all of these outstanding operations and individuals!
