About
Dairy

Dairy farms and farmers have been a strong part of North Carolina’s Agriculture Industry. While it may be smaller than some other areas of the United States, the NC Dairy Industry is made up of progressive and sustainable family farms, which we are happy to serve. Our Dairy Extension program focuses on bringing current industry management practices and future technology to our dairy farms in NC to help them maintain their way of life. We offer expertise in cow and youngstock management, farm finances and business management, nutrition, reproduction and breeding, waste management and any other general issues that our farmers face. We partner with other industry organizations to make sure our dairy farmers have access to outstanding education and training programs.

Because of these partnerships, we also have an excellent dairy youth program, giving young people the opportunity to learn about dairy all over the world and in their own backyard. We offer programs in cattle evaluation and judging as well as leadership development opportunities through 4-H and FFA programs.

You can find more information on this page about educational, training, and social events hosted by NCSU Extension and our partners throughout the year. If you have any questions, or want more information you can contact:
