Our mission
Advocate
We are the dairy farmer voice in St. Paul, Minn and local governments, fostering connections with those who have the ability to impact our members.
Connect
We provide members with the resources and channels to connect with their local officials to support the dairy farmers. We work to create more opportunities for our members to prosper.
Amplify
We help amplify the work done in the state capitol. We showcase that Minnesota is a great place for dairy while improving the business climate.
Stronger together.
Minnesota Milk Producers Association was founded in 1977 when a group of dairy farmers joined together to ensure they had a collective voice in policy conversations. The energy and vision of those original members continues today as we fight to be heard on issues impacting our farms and our families. Our strength comes from members working together and focusing on three areas: policy, engagement and membership.
We serve dairy farms of all sizes and styles in Minnesota. We also provide a pathway for allied businesses to connect with our dairy farmer members.
Minnesota Milk is the only dairy farmer-driven organization advocating for the dairy community in the state and we are the only dairy organization in the state ready to step in and help with permitting and other local regulations.
