Wisconsin dairy farmer ships Florida quality milk
Ken and Darleen Vergin of Dallas town in Barron County run an 80 head Holstein herd and produce milk meeting Florida’s strict sanitary standards. Their Standard Plate Loop Count shows 4 000 bacteria per milliliter, with a rolling herd average over 16 000 pounds of milk and 690 pounds of butterfat. They emphasize cleanliness and land care, choosing to grow less corn silage to protect soil. The milk travels 1500 miles to Orlando, arriving in three days, a milestone on their long route to consumers in Florida and beyond.
