Were here to serve you.
First and foremost, DFA is a cooperative that serves the milk marketing needs of our owners. The co-op also provides the kind of services that an organization of DFAs size can deliver without diluting its primary mission. Agri-Servicesa DFA programoffers exclusive and affordable medical programs, dental/vision plans, plus coverage for life. All services are available to DFA members via a milk check deduction.
Another popular service is the DFA Forward Contractingjust one of many Marketing Services offered by DFA. Forward Contracting is a program that allows members to hedge against price volatility risk. Members can lock in the future price of their milk several months before it is produced, taking some of the uncertainty out of a sometimes very uncertain market. Agri-Max Financial Services is a joint venture affiliate owned by DFA, and Dairylea. Agri-Max offers complete dairy loan packages for cattle, equipment and operating expenses to members. Each DFA member dairy farm is assigned its own field representative through DFAs On-Farm Field Service. These representatives are specially trained to help producers maximize their returns. Any young DFA dairy farmer between the ages of 18 and
40 can take advantage of DFAs
Young Cooperator (YC) Program. The goals of the YC Program are focused
on continuing education on cooperatives, developing personal and leadership
skills, and providing opportunities for future leaders. |
