Terreton dairy wins national recognition

A Terreton dairy is among the Dairy Farmers of America’s (DFA) 2019 Members of Distinction. Richard and Kim Korn manage a herd of 90 Holstein and Brown Swiss cows.

The program recognizes dairy farmers who excel in their operations, in their communities, and in the industry. “We’re truly honored and humbled to receive this award,” said Kim Korn. “Dairy farming is a good life. It’s hard work — 365 days a year, but working with our family is the best.”

The DFA comprises 14,000 dairy farmers across the country. One farm from each of its seven regional areas is selected for the annual honor.

Korn Dairy represents the Cooperative’s Mountain Area.

“Cow care on our dairy is very important,” said Richard’s son, David. “If the cows aren’t healthy and producing like they should, it’s not doing us any good. It’s important to have good, healthy and fit cows.”
