More
than three-hundred dairy farm families and 39 Dairy Farmers of America
employee families reside in the areas of Louisiana and Mississippi
hardest hit by Hurricane Katrina. And although you may not be seeing
it on television - these families are struggling to continue their
day to day activities because of the devastation caused by the storm.
Randy Mooney is First Vice Chairman of DFA's dairy farmer Board of Directors
and serves as Chairman for DFA's Southeast Area Council - the area including
Louisiana and Mississippi. Mooney says DFA members in the Southeast Area are
facing new problems everyday.

bottom lines.
