Does the government regulate dairy farmers environmental practices?
Yes. Dairy farmers abide by strict laws and regulations to protect our earth, water and air. To do that, America’s dairy farmers work in partnership with the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and state government regulators to ensure that their farms remain clean and employ environmentally sound production practices. Through a combination of regulatory and voluntary programs and environmental regulations, farming practices are becoming more environmentally sound, enabling farmers to better protect and preserve air, soil and water quality for future generations.
