Whats the difference between organic farming and conventional farming?
Dairy farmers across the country are committed to producing high-quality milk and maintaining proper animal care and environmental practices on their farms. Conventional dairy producers use best management practices to ensure that dairy cows are healthy by providing them with comfortable living conditions, nutritious diets and good medical care. Organic dairy foods must additionally meet the requirements of USDA’s National Organic Program. This includes using only organic fertilizers and pesticides, and not using rbST. Dairy foods can be labeled “USDA Organic” only if all of the additional criteria are met.
