Florida’s Dairy Farmers Are Proud of Their FARMS AND WAY OF LIFE
The Sunshine State is home to more than 130 farms, stretching from the Panhandle to South Florida. With around 125,000 cows producing more than 300 million gallons of milk each year, Florida ranks 19th in production nationwide.
Dairy is a key component of the state’s agricultural industry, and is second only to tourism in Florida’s economy. That’s a lot tomoo about.
Almost all of the farms are family owned and operated by second-and third-generations of dairy producers. In many cases, the men and women who today run the farm grew up there, learning the business from their moms and dads. In turn, they are teaching their sons and daughters what it takes to be a dairy farmer. Love of the land. Love of the cows. Love of the life.
