In this episode of the Hoard’s Dairyman Podcast, host Jessica Miller reads the FARM-accredited article: Encourage positive animal interactions.

The National Dairy Farmers Assuring Responsible Management, or FARM, Program, created by the National Milk Producers Federation in partnership with Dairy Management, Inc, helps ensure the success of U.S. dairy farmers by providing assurances to dairy customers and consumers. The FARM Animal Care Program helps to demonstrate dairy farmers’ commitment to providing excellent care of their dairy cattle and producing safe, wholesome milk. 

FARM Animal Care Standards require annual continuing education for stockmanship, pre-weaned calves, fitness to transport, non-ambulatory animals and euthanasia. 

Listening to these podcasts meets the continuing education standards. Farms can document their continuing education by using templates found at nationaldairyfarm.com or contact your FARM evaluator for more information.
