The FARM Farmer Advisory Council ...
serves as a unified voice of the dairy producer community by aiding in providing assurances to that community that the FARM Program standards are established with the best interest of the dairy community in mind, and for the benefit of the entire dairy community, as well as inspiring confidence in dairy customer and consumers of dairy farm practices.
National Dairy FARM Program participants, industry stakeholders and fellow dairy producers may nominate farmers to serve on the council. A maximum of two dairy producers can be nominated from each FARM Program participant.
Nominations will be reviewed and selected through a committee of FARM Program participant representatives and program staff. Guidance for selection is to ensure that the council is representative of dairy farm diversity across the country including consideration given to geography, herd size, management style, etc. No more than 20 individuals will be selected to serve on the Council.
