Alliance Awarded $4 Million to Support Dairy Producers
The Alliance for the Chesapeake Bay, in partnership with Turkey Hill Dairy, Maryland and Virginia Milk Producers Cooperative, and nine other partners, was recently awarded $4 million to continue supporting dairy farmers in South Central Pennsylvania with on-the-ground improvements through the Turkey Hill Clean Water Partnership (THCWP). Funding was awarded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) through the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Regional Conservation Partnership Program (RCPP).

Brightmark breaks ground on Caballero RNG project in Arizona
Brightmark, the global waste solutions provider, today broke ground on the Caballero Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) project, which includes the construction of new anaerobic digesters at Caballero Dairy Farms, an 8,800 animal farm in Eloy, Arizona.

Crave Brothers Farm highlights manure digester ahead of Earth Day
Tom Crave says his family’s dairy farm is leading the way in sustainability by operating at 100 percent green power. Since adding a manure digester in 2006, the 2,200-cow farm is producing enough electricity for farm operations, Crave Brothers Farmstead Cheese and the roughly 300 homes in the township.

Mootral looks to open new market in carbon offset linked to methane emissions reduction
Mootral, a Swiss-British Agritech firm, is launching the world’s first carbon credits generated from methane emission reductions in cattle, linked to its feed supplement made from garlic extracts – Mootral Ruminant – that it says is proven to lower methane released by cows by up to 38%.

RNG: Zero Scope 1 Emissions and Negative Carbon Intensity
If we want to get serious about climate change, it is critical we address our over-reliance on fossil fuels, which are a primary driver of greenhouse gas emissions. Whether it’s diesel, gasoline, kerosene, propane, or coal, burning these sources of fuel emits carbon into the atmosphere, disrupts the naturally-occurring carbon cycle in our ecosystem, and fundamentally threatens our way of life.
However, recycling the carbon already in the atmosphere prevents the extraction and combustion of fossilized carbon sources.

Save the Earth and Make Some Money?
There has been much talk about the Biden administration’s goal for rural America to play a leading role in combatting climate change, but farmers are still understandably curious and cautious about what those opportunities might mean. Specifically, how the dairy industry’s good environmental work could provide additional revenue for producers might take a number of paths.

An Environmental and Economic Path Toward Net Zero Dairy Farm Emissions
In this business case, analysis conducted by The Markets Institute @ WWF—based on assumptions and data shared by stakeholders in the dairy industry—demonstrates that achieving net zero greenhouse gas emissions for large farms is possible with the right practices, incentives, and policies within five years. If businesses also step up to make investments and collaborate with dairy farmers in their supply chain, the potential to reach these goals can become even more tangible.

Maybe Messy at First, Manure Digesters Can Pay Off
Dairy farmers are always searching for ways to diversify and add value to their businesses. Many are quickly seeing benefits of using manure as an alternative revenue source.

Starbucks, Unilever, Dairy Farmers of America on Their Food-Waste-to-Energy Alliance
