Dairy farmers are dumping milk. You’ve heard about this, right? But do you know why? Do you understand the root causes? Talk Farm to Me does a deep dive into milk issues in the USA.
Meet Wisconsin Dairy Farmer Sarah Lloyd. She farms dairy with her family and applies her PhD in rural sociology to figuring out what’s wrong and how to address it.
Meet Florida Dairy Farmer Tim Moffet. Tim farms dairy with his brother and is also a stand up comic. Get ready to chuckle! He also spills on what’s happening on the front lines of dairy.
Finally, sustainable farming pioneer, Joel Salatin, pays us another visit with a few words of wisdom about dairy.
Whether you put milk in your coffee or not, you’re going to want to know what the truth is about the dairy crisis. Tune in.

About Talk Farm to Me
I am the host of the bi-weekly TALK FARM TO ME podcast that features farmers, what they do, how they do it, the challenges they face and what resources they use to overcome them.
I have an accidental farm and hope to connect non-farmers authentically to our farmers to demonstrate that they have more in common with farmers than they think.
