The Dairy State

The many, many reasons California is the perfect place for dairy.

Northern California

Rain means green and green means pastures. The climate in this area allows for a lot of pasture-based grazing that mimics the way big herds of migratory animals live in the wild. Every time a cow leaves the milk barn they have a new, fresh area of grass to graze.

Tulare County

Tulare County is the largest dairy-producing county in the nation. It also has the most milk cows with 450,000.

Central/Southern California

Farms in this region can get pretty warm. To help make sure the cows are comfortable, farms here use freestall barns to keep the cows cool throughout the summer. On the plus side, all that sunshine means farms can also grow crops during multiple growing seasons.

Our Farms - The Dairy State of Mind

California is home to more than 1,000 dairy farms.

Tech for Cow Comfort

Dairy farmers are using smart tech to ensure cow health and comfort. Discover how technology shapes the future of cow care.

From Farm To Fuel

California dairy farmers are teaming up with California Bioenergy and Chevron to capture methane for use as renewable natural gas. The alternative fuel will be used to power vehicles and will help the environment by reducing greenhouse gases. Now that’s a win-win.

THERE'S MORE TO DAIRY

Like many dairy farmers, Greg Hooker of Diamond H Dairy in Chowchilla, California is diversifying his output on the farm – and he’s looking to almonds. Not only do they balance his milk income at difficult times, the hull of the almonds can be fed to the cows.

Tractor Trails

Self-driving cars may be making the news, but chances are your local dairy may actually have a self-driving tractor. Over 50% of farms already use auto-steer technology in their tractors and harvesters—a number that's predicted to rise to 64% by 2018.

Magical Manure

Southern California’s Scott Brothers Dairy is truly pioneering when it comes to reducing their carbon hoofprint and promoting sustainability. They’ve found a way to convert the manure from their 1,100 dairy cows into clean, renewable diesel fuel that’s used to operate their tractors and machinery. Talk about MOO-mentum!

Cloud Farming

Many California farmers are using cloud technology to improve efficiency on their dairy farms, thanks to a variety of farm and business management apps. In this way, they have instant access to vital herd information so they can make the best decisions for their milk, family, community and com-MOO-nity.

Solar Farming

In California, one resource in abundance is sun-power. Solar technology is helping dairy farmers make big leaps in sustainability. Farms utilizing solar can use 90% less energy than conventional farming alone.
