The amount of work that goes into putting food on our tables continues to astound me. It is quite an honor to be just a small part of feeding our community and the world.” Indianapolis-based American Dairy Association Indiana is a not-for-profit promotion, communication and nutrition education organization funded by and serving the Hoosier state’s 900-plus dairy farm families.
