National Dairy FARM Program

Consumers want to purchase food from sources they know will take care of animals, and operate in a way that is consistent with their values and expectations. Dairy farmers have a longstanding commitment to doing what is right. The National Dairy FARM Program: Farmers Assuring Responsible ManagementTM provides consistency and uniformity to best practices in animal care and quality assurance in the dairy industry.

The dairy industry is committed to ensuring the well-being of the animals in our care. The National Dairy FARM ProgramTM is a nation-wide, verifiable program that addresses animal well-being. Third-party verification ensures the validity and the integrity of the program to our customers and consumers. The dairy industry has an excellent track record of responsible management practices; this national effort simply brings consistency and uniformity to on-farm care and provides reassurance to consumers.

2012 Year in Review

The 2012 Year in Review is now available for the FARM Animal Care Program.   In 2012, FARM Program participation expanded with additional enrollment of cooperatives, proprietary processors, and individual producers, which proactively demonstrates the dairy industry's continued committment to providing dairy animals high-level care.
