Farmin Facts!! Doing More with Less!!!

Dairies Environmental Impact: 1944 vs. 2007.

Did you know that research by Capper et al. (2009) shows that modern dairies require 21 percent fewer animals, 23 percent less feedstuffs, 35 percent less water and 10 percent less land to produce the same 1 billion kg of milk. Emissions have also been reduced since 1944, as dairies today produce 43 percent less CH4 and 56 percent less  N2O per billion kg of milk.

 

Since it is estimated that we need to nearly double food production for the world by 2050, we need continued advancements in technology and science to feed the world.  This is such a progressive industry we are part of and not only are we looking forward to what's to come, but we as an industry are up to the challenge!!
