Dairy Farmers of America
Dairy Farmers of America Inc. (DFA) is a national milk marketing cooperative in the United States. It is owned by and serves nearly 15,000 dairy farmer-members representing more than 9,000 dairy farms in 48 states. DFA markets members' raw milk and sells milk and derivative products (dairy products, food components, ingredients and shelf-stable dairy products) to wholesale buyers. Net sales in 2013 were $12.8 billion, representing about 30 percent of the raw milk production of the United States.〔http://www.dfamilk.com/newsroom/press-releases/dfa-reports-2013-financial-results〕
Headquartered in Kansas City, Missouri, DFA is divided into seven geographical areas. Each area elects farmer-leaders to serve on DFA’s Board of Directors, which governs the cooperative.
==History==
DFA was formed in 1998 through the merger of four dairy cooperatives: the Southern region of Associated Milk Producers Inc.; Mid-America Dairymen Inc.; Milk Marketing Inc.; and Western Dairymen Cooperative Inc.〔(Merger of four co-ops includes Mid-America Dairymen )〕 Officials from the four cooperatives determined that merging would give the nation’s dairy farmers a fair voice in national policymaking and the ability to address the needs of national customers. Since then, five other cooperatives have become a part of DFA – Independent Cooperative Milk Producers Association, Valley of Virginia Milk Producers Association, California Cooperative Creamery, Black Hills Milk Producers and Dairylea Cooperative Inc.〔http://www.dfamilk.com/newsroom/press-releases/dairylea-members-approve-merger-dfa〕〔(Morning Briefing )〕〔(DALLAS FIRM PLANS TO BUY SHENANDOAH'S PRIDE DAIRY )〕〔(CALIFORNIA GOLD MERGER OK'D STURGEON: MOVE `BEST BUSINESS OPTION' )〕
In 2011, DFA acquired Kemps of St. Paul, Minnesota, and its subsidiaries from HP Hood.〔(Kansas City Business Journal - ''Dairy Farmers of America will become owner of Kemps'' (April 15, 2011) ), Retrieved Apr. 23, 2015.〕
