SD dairy industry continues to grow, add economic value
17 Jul 2018
GOODWIN, S.D. — South Dakota's dairy industry is growing rapidly, and the public is getting to see that for themselves during June Dairy Month open houses hosted by Ag United of South Dakota.
MoDak Dairy of Goodwin is just one of many dairy farms opening their doors to the public this month. Co-owner Greg Moes says they have been hosting people at the farm for many years and saw a record crowd at this year's event. "Now with livestock everybody wants to see everything that's going on with how we handle animals, how their food is produced," he says.
MoDak's 2,000-cow dairy operation is indicative of the growth in the state's dairy industry, which continues to see the largest monthly increases in milk production of any state.
