One of the most important outcomes of our work is the development of case studies and the identification of industry best practices for reducing environmental impact and improving the bottom line. Through the Innovation Center, the dairy industry has created an open-door forum for sharing information so we can work together in accelerating adoption of practices and technologies. This is what sets us apart from other industries, and it’s how we’ll reach our goals.

Reducing impact and improving profits.

Whether you’re interested in assessing the energy use of your farm or business, learning how manure digesters can reduce waste and generate income, or want to improve your fleet’s fuel usage, these resources can help. Then, when you have a story that will inspire others, we encourage you to share it so others can learn from you.

These examples will show you how to avoid the obstacles, maximize efficiencies, and evaluate the costs and benefits associated with updated procedures and new technologies.

• Best management practices provide information on ways to accomplish routine tasks more safely, efficiently and effectively.
• Case studies profile the improvements your dairy industry colleagues have already made and the savings they are currently experiencing.

Exploring these resources will help you see that making a difference is at your fingertips.
