Michigan Milk committed to sustainability

KenNobis

The Michigan Milk Producers Association is working to highlight sustainability efforts of farmer members.  President Ken Nobis says MMPA’s sustainability mission focuses on high-quality dairy products and what happens before milk leaves the farm.

“That involves sustainability at our plant level, our operations level, and administration level.”  He tells Brownfield they will also be gathering information from member farms.

He says the statements look at economic, environmental and social aspects of sustainability.

“What we at MMPA are doing is trying to come up with the metrics that we can use that shows the good things that we do in the dairy industry.”

The cooperative serves nearly 2,000 dairy farms in Michigan, Indiana, Ohio and Wisconsin.
