Gilmer Dairy Farm featured in Birmingham News article

Last week we were joined in the milking barn for a couple of hours by Jon Reed, a reporter for The Birmingham News and AL.com, who was working on a story about the gradual disappearance of Alabama dairy farms over the past few years. His article, "Where have Alabama's dairy farms gone" (link), does a good job of exploring the reasons behind the decline, the current challenges to our industry, and what family farms like ours must do to remain viable. Mr. Reed also wrote a short follow-up piece about my social media usage (link).

I hope you will all take a few minutes to read the article, and share it with your friends if you feel so inclined.
