Good Works Put California's Central Valley Dairy Farmers In Spotlight

Our dairy farmers and processors continue to deliver the goods – milk, cheese, butter, ice cream and other products – in great abundance.

A new report and video show what they have done on behalf of the environment and people in need. They were produced by Dairy Cares, an industry coalition based in Sacramento, and can be viewed at www.dairycares.com.

The report tells how Ray Gene Veldhuis, a dairy farmer near Winton, has worked to improve manure and water management. It describes how Hilmar Cheese Co. treats the water left over from its processing for reuse in the plant and on nearby farms.
