OUR MISSION:  "TO EDUCATE, PROMOTE AND REPRESENT DAIRY PRODUCERS AND FOSTER AN ENVIRONMENT FOR GROWTH OF THE KENTUCKY DAIRY INDUSTRY."

We are dairy farmers, multiple allied industries 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 way of life on the farm.  Dairy cows are economic generators. The average dairy cow generates over $13,700 in economic ripple effect each year.
The KDDC Goals are:
​

 1. To increase producer profitability                           2. To improve dairy farmer's competitiveness
     3. To enhance dairy farm families' quality of life    4. To assist in the viability of KY's dairy industry
