In three short decades between 1987 and 2007, the US lost nearly 100,000 small commercial dairy farms. The trend continues.

Find out how this dairy princess met her prince and hear her powerful insights on what is clearly at the heart of Talk Farm to Me and your thinking (whether you admit it or not).
