Meet Dairy Farmers
Number One Priorites
Cow comfort and land stewardship are the number one priorities for this Minnesota dairy farm family. Most of their cows are housed in one of two hoop barn equipped with sand-bedded stalls which are groomed daily.
Ready for Something New
When dairy producers Wilfried and Olga Reuvekamp of Hilltop Dairy, immigrated to South Dakota from the Netherlands and purchased their Elkton, South Dakota dairy farm, they were ready for a new challenge.
Solid Life Lessons
Dairy farming is the way of life for the Atteberry family who owns and operates Atteberry Dairy, LLC, located in Conway, Missouri. For the husband-and-wife duo, of Jeff and Sheri Atteberry, there is simply no better place to raise their family then on their 160-cow dairy farm.
Starting a New Dairy
The Elliot family of Lake Norden, South Dakota, knows a thing or two about embracing new challenges - five years ago they moved from Ireland to start a dairy farm in the United States. Rodney and Dorothy Elliot and their three children - David, James and Becky - arrived in South Dakota in February of 2006 and by May construction for their family dairy farm, known as Drumgoon, was underway.
Round-The-Clock Commitment
On show day at the biggest dairy cattle show in the world, 10-year-old Payton Erbsen of Lanark, Illinois, shows no jittery nerves as he prepares to enter the ring. "I've done this before," he confidently states.
A Good Healthy Product
When I visited with Nebraska dairy farmers, the Bousquet family, I just smiled! They state, "We feel great about bringing a good, healthy product to people in the world." Dairy producers have a common thread of honesty and working hard and share a strong commitment to produce a wholesome product for the world to consume.
Dairy Farmer Charles Krause

Charles Krause's first trip to the World Dairy Expo will certainly be a memorable one. The Buffalo dairy farmer will receive the National Dairy Shrine's Progressive Dairy Producer honor in the small herd division.
