Dairy farmer savors NFL Draft experience, expansion is ready for the next generation, Lyndell Dairy continues progressing and safety measures born from tragedy

There are many stories from the latest issue of the Dairy Star newspaper, and we are highlights a few of them in this episode of Dairy Delivery. We are excited to bring you the newest way to hear dairy farmers' stories, now available as a podcast. Today's conversations are with many people connected to the dairy industry. First, a dairy farmer attending the NFL Draft, hosted by the Green Bay Packers last month, described the experience like celebrating a family holiday. Another conversation we hear is about when the fourth generation made a long-term commitment to Country Aire Farms, the plan for a new generation of facilities and updates was set in motion. Then, another conversation is with Troy and Sandy Madland with how they began milking cows in a rented barn, to now grow the farm with the latest expansion in 2022. Finally, the last story discusses safety with how a brother's death prompts bunker setup change for a Minnesota dairy farm. New episodes are released Thursdays after the newspaper is published.
