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

A Word of Prayer from fellow Farmer
In light of the unbelievably stressful time that we find ourselves in, it is impressed upon me to reach out to any people or groups to look to our Creator for strength of faith, kindness of heart and clear wisdom. I believe that prayer is our greatest comfort and resource at this time.
I’m asking for permission from those of you at KDDC to help me contact members & interested parties affiliated with your organization, to schedule a conference call for the purpose of prayer.
My responsibility will be to greet incoming callers, record names and invite individuals to pray, share scripture or offer some encouraging words. All participants will be asked to mute their phones and only the person asked to share will be heard (trying to limit to 3 minutes per person). We could ask people ahead of time to be vocal or ask them once we see who joins in.
