FARM Survey Deadline Coming Up

Feedback on the National Dairy FARM, or Farmers Assuring Responsible Management, program is due by September 10^th.

The voluntary survey probes producers’ knowledge of FARM and the value it provides to their operations. The results will help FARM’s Animal Care program better provide cooperatives and farmers with the appropriate guidance and materials required of program participants.

The information gleaned from this survey will also help advance the FARM Program by increasing its efficiency and impact for farmers, and help staff understand producers’ needs. Improving the FARM Program will assist the dairy industry in forming uniform objectives on animal welfare.

The survey is being coordinated by Colorado State University and can be filled out online.
