MILK • • • Milk producing animals are prominent in almost every culture; Milk is probably Nature’s perfect food, lacking only two things (Vitamin C and Iron); Milk delivers what every segment of the American public is asking for, viz; Protein, Calcium, Vitamin D and Potassium.

We Are Prairie Farms Dairy Proudly Farmer Owned Since 1938! In 1938, Illinois dairy farmers joined together to improve market conditions for selling cream – first order of business was raising capital to build a butter churning plant. Fletcher A. Gourley, who eventually became the first CEO of Prairie Farms, was hired to manage the operation. During World War II, Prairie Farms began producing powdered milk for the government. Surplus powder and buttercream were used to produce sweetened condensed milk and then sold at a premium to ice cream plants. Prairie Farms continued to grow in the postwar years and by 1949, production had expanded from butter to bottled milk, cottage cheese and ice cream – an unheralded expansion within one decade! Since then, Prairie Farms has executed more than 50 acquisitions, nearly a dozen mergers, and launched several joint ventures with other cooperatives. Dedic ated Farmers. Happy

Our Commitment to Animal Care Dedicated Farmers. Healthy Cows. Wholesome Milk. Excellent cow care is an expectation of Prairie Farms: Our program details animal care guidelines that our farmers must follow for every calf and cow on the farm – guidelines that evolve with the latest research on quality animal care. Our program sets the highest standards for animal care when it comes to animal health from birth to end of life, facilities and housing, nutrition, equipment and milking procedures, transportation and animal handling. Our farmers are evaluated at least once every three years and provided feedback on how they’re doing by veterinarians, extension educators, university personnel, co-op field staff or other qualified evaluators who have completed the two-day, intensive training and have passed a comprehensive exam. The evaluation provides farmers with the information they need to develop action plans for continuous improvement. The integrity of the program is ensured through third-party verification, which is completed by outside experts who inspect a representative percentage of farms each year. When we say we’re taking great care of our cows, third-party verification measures it – providing statistically verified data demonstrating that excellent animal care is an expectation of our company.
