Midwest Dairy is a nonprofit organization that represents more than 3,600 dairy farms across a ten-state Midwest region. It is based in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and is funded by farmers across Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Iowa, Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, Arkansas, and eastern Oklahoma. The group’s purpose is to grow demand for dairy by fostering consumer confidence in dairy products and the production practices behind them. Its activities center on linking dairy to everyday meals and shopping decisions, guided by consumer insights and partnerships with retailers and industry collaborators. It works with a network of dairy associations and retailers on campaigns designed to connect dairy products with common meals and consumer choices, and it runs ambassador and leadership initiatives in participating states. In May 2026, Midwest Dairy announced a partnership with the Center for Dairy Excellence to advance educational efforts in the dairy community.
