Dairy farmers work hard every day to provide fresh, wholesome, quality milk and dairy  products to consumers.  They love their land, the animals in their care and way of life on the farm.  Dairy cows are economic generators. The averge dairy cow generates over $13,700 in economic ripple effect each year.

 
Our mission:  "To educate, promote and represent dairy producers and foster an environment for growth of the Kentucky Dairy Industry."
