People and communities are top-of-mind as dairy farm families continually improve water conservation and protection.

Researchers at UC Davis estimate that this reduces the amount of water needed for dairy feed by as much as 1.3 trillion gallons each year.Dairy farmers are doing their part to understand how climate change and the path toward groundwater sustainability will impact farms and communities, and what opportun...
