A VOICE FOR
THE PRODUCER
The Indiana Dairy Producers (IDP) organization is an organized voice for Hoosier dairy farmers, representing their interests across the state. Since the organization’s inception in 1999, IDP has engaged with both producers and those that impact dairy farmers: regulators, policy-makers, dairy companies, consumers and industry partners. The Indiana Dairy Producers is a proactive, positive and professional network of dairy producer-members across the state. As an advocate and a partner, we proudly serve the dairy producers of Indiana.

Agricultural Anaerobic Digestion Workshop Survey
Purdue University researchers are organizing a workshop about anaerobic digestion for farmers to take place in the fall of 2022. Anaerobic digestion uses microbes to break down manure or other organic waste, producing biogas that can be used for heating or electricity generation, or upgraded to renewable natural gas. This workshop is open to any livestock farmer interested in learning more about anaerobic digestion for manure treatment and energy generation, as well as food product manufacturers or others who produce industrial-scale organic waste. We also welcome extension educators and anyone else interested in manure management and anaerobic digestion.

Drug Residue Prevention
Dr. Debbie Boyd, DVM
No dairy farmer wants to get the call that a drug residue has been detected in the milk sample from his/her farm, and the entire tanker truck of milk has been dumped at the farm’s expense. These calls do occur, but thankfully not very often. In 2015, 17 milk drug residues were detected in Indiana out of over 56,000 tests. In 2020, that number was only seven. However, the goal is for Indiana to be drug residue free.
