Members of Distinction
Seven dairy farm families who are members of Dairy Farmers of America, Inc. (DFA) have been named to the Cooperative’s most prestigious award.
The 2007 DFA Members of Distinction include the owners and operators of the following farms: Crosswinds Dairy of Portales, N.M.; Anthony’s Dairy of Americus, Ga.; Diamond Three Dairy of Shelley, Idaho; Three Star Dairy of McCook, Neb.; RV Dairy of Winton, California; Weir Farms of Hanover, Mich.; and Walker Farms of Fort Ann, N.Y.
The DFA Member of Distinction program was created this year to celebrate the Cooperative’s diversity and to recognize DFA members for their vision, leadership and innovation in the dairy industry.
One farm from each of DFA’s seven Areas was selected and members were recognized at DFA’s Annual Meeting Tuesday, March 20 at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Kansas City, Missouri.
“These members have found unique ways to ensure their success in the industry and are positive examples for us all,” says Rick Smith, DFA’s president and chief executive officer. “This is a great achievement, and we are proud to name these members as the 2007 recipients of this award.”
