Dairy Farmers of America (DFA) announced today the completion of a third-party audit of one of its member farms, Cactus-Acre Holsteins. This announcement comes two days after the Cooperative proactively released an undercover video, shot by animal rights extremist group, Mercy For Animals (MFA), depicting animal abuse on the farm owned by Jim and Marie Goedert in Fort Morgan, Colo. The video can be viewed at www.dfamilk.com/animal-abuse-the-dairy-industry-not-tolerated.

Today, more than 1,400 Dairy Farmers of America members and guests convened in Kansas City for the Cooperative’s 17th Annual Meeting.

Dairy Farmers of America recognizes the importance of developing future leaders in the dairy industry and is committed to investing in their education. Since its inception eight years ago, the DFA Cares Foundation Scholarship has grown to honor an increasing number of outstanding students who are pursuing careers in the dairy industry.

Dairy Farmers of America reported net income of $43.1 million for 2014. DFA’s net sales totaled $17.9 billion for 2014, a nearly 40 percent increase compared with $12.8 billion in 2013. This increase was primarily a result of higher milk prices, which averaged $23.98 per hundredweight in 2014 compared with $20.05 in 2013. The higher milk prices also provided improved margins for DFA farmer-members.
