ROSEMONT, Ill. – Dairy Management Inc. (DMI), the planning and management organization that oversees the national dairy checkoff program on behalf of America’s dairy farmers and importers, has posted its 2022 annual report at www.usdairy.com/for-farmers/resources.

The report provides checkoff funders and other members of the dairy community an audited financial report and highlights from 2022 focused on strategies and programs including:

  • Accelerating incremental dairy sales growth
  • Building trust in dairy, dairy foods and dairy farming with youth and other important consumer audiences
