  • Milk Sustainability Center to Launch this Summer, Supporting Dairy Producers Across the Nation

In farming, it encompasses responsible stewardship of land and resources, while maintaining economic viability, so that farmers can continue feeding the world for generations to come.  John Deere and DeLaval have joined forces to create a new (free) tool to help dairy farmers measure the efficiency and sustainability of their operations.  California Dairy Editor Matthew Malcolm met with James Peterson from John Deere at the World Ag Expo to gain some insights on how the launch of the Milk Sustainability Center will serve the dairy industry.
