Power Florida Forward: Dairy Farmers Support Renewable Natural Gas
As a dairy farmer, my goal is to provide Florida families and children with a delicious, wholesome and fresh milk supply to maintain a happy, healthy lifestyle.
There are only 70 dairy farms throughout the state that Florida families depend on for high-quality milk. The dairy industry is a major economic engine of the state, and many thousands of Florida citizens are employed directly and indirectly because of dairy.
Urban development, price volatility and government regulations challenge the long-term sustainability of this industry. That’s why we’re looking for innovative ways to tackle the challenges we face and diversify our revenue stream. Renewable natural gas is a promising new opportunity that can strengthen the sustainability of dairy farms like mine, while reducing waste and generating renewable energy supply.
