DFA’s Western Area represents 320 member farms that market 6.1 billion pounds of milk cooperatively. Average production per member farm is 19 million pounds of milk per year.

Western Area Council Governance Structure
The Western Area Council districts have elected council representation. The members in each district elect two representatives to serve on the Western Area Council and two to serve on the Western Area resolutions committee. The Area Council monitors the marketing of member milk and provides advice to the Corporate Board of Directors in matters pertaining to the Area. From these 18 council representatives, four members are selected to serve on the DFA Board of Directors. The 18 elected Area resolutions committee members help determine policy guidelines for the Board and select four members to serve on DFA’s corporate resolution’s committee. Members also chose Delegates to represent them when a member vote is necessary. The Western Area sends one delegate for each fifty farms to vote on necessary matters at the DFA Annual Meeting.
