The National Dairy Farmers Assuring Responsible Management (FARM) program is now accepting enrollment. This is the second phase of the implementation process, which includes the start of on-farm evaluations for participating producers.
Created by the National Milk Producers Federation, FARM is a voluntary, nationwide program designed to provide consistency to animal care through education, on-farm evaluations and objective third-party verification. Producers can participate individually, through a cooperative or proprietary processor. A participation fee will be charged to fund third-party verification of the program.
To participate in the National Dairy FARM Program, producers, co-ops, processors, and state and regional dairy producer organizations can contact NMPF.
The first phase of the program provided educational materials to producers through the release of the Animal Care Manual and the Quick Reference User Guide. As a supplement to these materials, the Animal Care DVD is now available online in both English and Spanish on the FARM website here:
