America's Dairy Farmers Protect
the Environment!

Environmental
Stewardship

Responsible milk producers are true stewards of the land, of the air, and of the water.  Dairy animals are unique in their ability to turn abundant low-value roughages into nature’s finest food milk.  Also, the animal by-products are returned to the land to improve the soil and its productivity.  Responsible quality assurance would be incomplete without improving the land as a part of a milk producer’s obligation.  Milk quality includes environmental stewardship.  The DQA FIVE-STARSM Quality Assurance Certification includes verification by a DQA Certified Professional Consultant.
