Feeding farm business dreams
It’s a blend of art and science.
Nutrition is just one piece of the milk-production pie.
The best recipes call for 100% high quality ingredients and the same goes for successful milk production. In addition to high-quality nutrition, GreLyn Farms prioritizes their facilities, technology, breeding, and hard work. Cargill noted while our focus is nutrition, we routinely evaluate GreLyn’s breeding protocols, cow comfort, and records before making decisions.
Milk saved and people served through generous donations
When Cargill dairy customers are told their milk must be dumped because it has nowhere to go, the news is devastating for the customer and Cargill. We know many families are in need of this nutritious product, but donating milk directly from a farm to a food bank is not possible. Milk must be transported, processed, and bottled before it can be delivered and the cost is often more than a farm can bare.
Igniting milk production with focus on forage
For two consecutive years, Munk Dairy has been averaging over six pounds of combined fat and protein from their 850-milking Holsteins. However, this hasn’t always been the case for the dairy operated by the father-son duos of Sid and Braden Munk and Shane and Jason Munk. Read more about their journey in this post.
