Minnesota’s dairy farmer advocacy group has made some changes that will help them focus more on policy issues. Minnesota Milk Executive Director Lucas Sjostrom tells Brownfield the change affects many behind-the-scenes tasks. “A bunch of great staff at Midwest Dairy was doing a lot of the things that the great staff at Edge are going to do, and so that’s our accounting, that’s our filings with the state, that’s our human resources through hiring, and our information technology or I-T department.”
Sjostrom says moving the administrative and program services from the checkoff folks at Midwest Dairy to Edge Dairy Farmers Cooperative makes sense for their members.
