Dairy Farmers of Washington Release First Dairy Grown Profile

In Dairy Grown, a new series focusing on young people who were raised in the dairy industry in Washington, the Dairy Farmers of Washington highlight Ashley Hanson, a 20-year-old Oklahoma State University student from Elk, WA.

Hanson is a third-generation dairy farmer at Darliane Farms who is now focused on getting a degree that will allow her to communicate and advocate for the dairy industry.

Hanson spent some time as a Dairy Ambassador while she was in high school and told the piece’s author Aleah Bright that she can’t wait to come back home to the farm.
