Conversations with the Dairy Checkoff: UDIM/FDF and Michigan Food Banks

In this episode, we talk with Cortney Freeland, Vice President of Engagement and Outreach for the United Dairy Industry of Michigan (UDIM) and Florida Dairy Farmers (FDF). She discusses why 70% of the dairy distributed through Michigan food banks is now purchased, which means that they are no longer primarily relying on surplus or donations, but instead becoming consistent customers of dairy. For farmers, that translates into more demand for milk and getting milk into more households. And for food bank clients, it means greater access to the essential nutrition dairy foods provide.
