We love celebrating our farmers. We asked some of them to tell us what makes farm life the best:
- “Do what you love to do and be around things that make you smile. The cows make me smile every day.” – David Jackson, Bentwood Dairy
- “Working with family makes what you do worthwhile, as you teach kids responsibility and the importance of life.” – John Devos, Fox Dairy
- “If we give 100%, the cows are going to give us 100%, and if we trust the cows 100%, they trust us 100%.” – Skye Talsma, Talsma Dairy
- “We are passionate about what we do. We love our cows and are happy to produce a healthy wholesome product like milk!” – Dale Jones, Jones Dairy Inc.
- "There’s a lot of hard work that goes into it, but it’s a good place to live and a good place to raise your kids." – Stanley Haedge, Know Castle Dairy
- “We raised our kids the best we could, doing what we loved to do. It was hard work, but we always had time to smile and laugh.” – Thomas Meyer, M6 Dairy
- “Whether it's on the tractor or in the pasture with the cows, I just love being able to take my kids to work when I need to.” – Will Collier, T&K Dairy
- “it’s more than a job, it’s a way of life.” – Matt Ballou, Texico Jerseys
- “From the time I was little to now, the number one thing we've got to do is take care of the things we've been blessed with. The most important part of our job is to make sure we’re taking care of our animals, and taking care of the environment, and providing a great product for everybody to consume. Every year, we get better and better at it.” – Michael Lawrence, Caprock Dairy
- "Dairy farming can be a dirty job, but there’s more to it than you realize – it is really rewarding." – Peter Eldred, Lost Creek Dairy
