**Hello from the Hulsbosch Family Dairy Farms in southern Indiana.**

Like much of the central United States, we’ve just come through nearly two weeks of persistent rain. Spring planting has been heavily interrupted, but as of yesterday many southern Indiana farmers were finally able to get back into the fields.

**Welcome to June — National Dairy Month.**
To kick things off, let’s take a closer look at the American dairy cow.

There are roughly **26,290 dairy farms** in the United States today, home to **9.45–9.55 million dairy cows**. The average cow produces **66 pounds of milk per day** — about **7.6 gallons**. Around **85–90%** of these cows are Holsteins, both the classic black‑and‑white and the red‑and‑white varieties.

A mature Holstein weighs **1,500–1,800 pounds** and consumes **90–100 pounds of TMR** (Total Mixed Ration) each day. She’ll wash that down with **20–40 gallons of water**, depending on the temperature. While a cow can live up to 15 years, her productive milking life typically spans **6–7 years**.

One of the most surprising facts about modern dairy farming is its contribution to the beef supply. Nearly **20% of the beef** found in grocery stores is directly connected to the dairy industry through today’s breeding practices. And importantly, **91.5% of America’s dairy farms are family‑owned**.

Throughout June, we’ll take a deeper dive into the details, innovations, and everyday realities of modern dairy farming.

Here at our Milroy, Indiana facility, we’ve begun populating and milking cows, with roughly **2,000 cows on site** so far. Construction continues on one side of the free‑stall barn while cows rest comfortably on the other. With a free‑stall barn covering **over 10 acres**, even 2,000 cows look like a small group. Our **120‑cow carousel parlor** is running smoothly — an engineering marvel completing a full rotation in under eight minutes.

We are **not yet open for tours** at the Milroy site and likely won’t be until late this year or possibly spring of 2027 when construction is complete.
However, we **are accepting tour requests** for our Letts location and look forward to welcoming visitors to Milroy in the future.

Thank you to America’s farmers for feeding the world. From our family to yours, we wish you a safe and successful planting and growing season.

**God bless the farmer.**

**Hello from the Hulsbosch Family Dairy Farm…**

The Indiana weather is, as always, unpredictable and ever‑changing. Here in southern Indiana, we were blessed with a stretch of favorable weather that allowed us to get a big head start on planting and even take off a little spring triticale. Now we’ve entered an 8–10 day pattern of rain and unseasonably cool temperatures, putting those early‑planted crops at risk. At the very least, it creates a stressful start for sprouting and early growth, and many acres may end up needing replant or spot‑planting.

Like many of you, we’re also feeling the impact of high fuel costs — not just in our cars and trucks, but in the many gallons required for spring tillage and planting. These costs touch every corner of every farm and business, adding yet another layer of concern for the American farmer.

The Hulsbosch family hopes that favorable weather finds all of you soon, allowing for a safe and successful planting season.

In 2005, on Christmas Eve, our family of five — Dominique, Mary, and their three sons — came to America with hopes, dreams, and a shared goal of growth. Today, it brings me great pride to announce the birth of Loden, the newborn son of Vital and Kuyhlia Hulsbosch. Loden joins a family of six, including his three big brothers. And yes… the number of boys in the Hulsbosch family continues to far outweigh the girls. Of Loden’s three cousins, only one is a girl.

Family, faith, pride, and the strength of our family dynamics mean everything to us. As a family farm, many of our family members work directly in the management and daily operations of the dairy, side by side with our employees. This approach has created a strong, meaningful culture within our employee family — a culture we are deeply proud of.

On every family farm, growth is always a goal… growth in the farm, and most importantly, growth in the family. We have been blessed with both.

From our growing family to yours, we pray for strength in your homes and safety in your work.

**God Bless family and family farms.**

**Hello from the Hulsbosch Dairy Farms in southern Indiana.**

Spring of 2026 has been as unpredictable as any we’ve known. The northern half of Indiana has been soaked for weeks, leaving many farmers unable to get into the fields, much less plant a crop. Meanwhile, the southern half has enjoyed a long stretch of warm, breezy sunshine — enough for a tremendous amount of field work and planting to get done before today’s rain moved in. Many have finished soybeans, and some are already well into corn.

With input costs higher than ever, every efficiency matters. Every decision carries more weight on the bottom line and added pressure to the workload.

Here on the Hulsbosch family farms, the workload never really slows. We’ve been incorporating lagoon fertilizer into area fields, prepping and tilling acres for this year’s silage corn, and we opened our first field of triticale — a winter cover crop that, when harvested early, becomes a high‑quality silage ingredient in our TMR.

But with all this work comes something even more important: **safety**.

It’s easy, in the rush of spring, to get comfortable… even complacent. Today’s farm equipment is massive, powerful, and full of blind spots. Traffic doesn’t always understand what we’re moving or how limited our visibility can be. Many farmers go to great lengths to keep their teams and their communities safe — training, hands‑on experience, es**rt vehicles, and even moving equipment after dark when the roads are quieter.

Some farmers have no choice but to move equipment straight through their own small-town main streets to reach the next field. The pressure on those operators is enormous — navigating heavy traffic, stoplights, tight turns, and impatient drivers while hauling machines that simply cannot stop or maneuver like a car.

We’ve all had “close calls.” And we all know someone who has suffered more than that. Those moments stay with you.

So this Spring, we simply want to remind every farmer, every equipment operator, and every neighbor on the road: **slow down, stay alert, and stay safe. The world is counting on you.**

The Hulsbosch family wishes everyone a productive Spring — and above all, a safe one.

**God Bless the farmer.**

**Hello from the Hulsbosch Family Dairy Farm, Milroy, Indiana.**

Spring in Indiana is showing off again — snow and cold one day, 70° and sunny the next, with a few inches of rain in between. Such is life this time of year.

With our first group of milk cows scheduled to arrive in April, things are coming together quickly. We’re not milking yet, but we’re getting very close as we finish the last pieces of construction and begin testing equipment.

Pen 1 has received its final concrete pour, and the free‑stall beds are ready for their silica sand. Cattle‑crossing guards are now in place, eliminating the need for operators to stop and open gates. Equipment can move slowly and safely across the guards to fluff sand beds, clean and rinse waterers, maintain alleys, and replenish sand as needed.

The large, heavy gate that moves along a rail is also installed. This gate applies gentle, steady pressure to guide cows toward the entrance of the carousel and serves as a separation gate between pens as cows gather and wait to be milked.

As you’ll see in the photos and video, the carousel itself is officially *alive* and turning. Each milking position features a blue, round‑topped plate designed to encourage the cow to stand with her rear legs slightly apart. This improves employee access, stabilizes the cow’s stance, and is gentler on her hooves thanks to the brick‑layered surface beneath.

While this new facility includes many modern technologies, you may notice the intentional lack of robots. We do have two robotic arms — their job is to apply a conditioning and disinfecting spray once milking is complete. But every other step of the milking process is done by hand: cleaning, prepping, stripping, and attaching the milking units. It’s the blend of technology and hands‑on care that we believe best serves the cow.

The holding area is also taking shape. When a cow exits the carousel, she’ll pass through a series of readers that identify her and determine whether she needs any attention that day — hoof trimming, vaccinations, breeding, or other health care. From there, she’ll be gently directed into the appropriate single‑file lane. Because Milroy is a milking‑only facility, all major medical needs, dry‑off care, calving, and nursery work will continue at the Letts farm. This allows Milroy to focus entirely on elevating the daily life of the lactating cow.

As with any large project, there’s always that “11th‑hour push,” and we’ll experience it more than once. Even as we begin populating the barns in April, construction continues — grading, packing, forming, tying rebar, pouring concrete, and installing hardware. The finish line always feels blurry until one day you look around and realize: you’re no longer building a farm… you’re running one, and already planning the next chapter.

The Hulsbosch family is excited and grateful as we prepare for long days and late nights welcoming our first cows to Milroy.

**Thank you to all the dedicated, hardworking construction crews and their teams who have poured their skill and sweat into this incredible facility.**

**As always, God Bless the farmer.**

**Hello from the Hulsbosch Family Dairy Farms**

As we celebrate National FFA Week, our Facebook feed is overflowing with photos — tractor drive‑ins, new members proudly wearing their first FFA jackets, current members serving their chapters, and even a few throwbacks from past members. It’s a beautiful reminder of the impact this organization continues to have across generations.

The FFA remains the largest student‑managed and student‑operated youth organization in America, now with a membership of over one million strong. I served as Reporter for my chapter, and each of the Hulsbosch brothers held an FFA office as well. Many of the skills, talents, and life lessons we rely on today were shaped by our time in the blue jacket. In fact, the jackets worn by each of the brothers are proudly displayed in our conference room.

But even with these impressive numbers and the incredible success stories coming from local chapters, membership is declining. That’s why we do everything we can to support youth in agriculture. The FFA and 4‑H remain two of our favorite organizations to stand behind.

Agriculture today offers a vast range of career paths — animal sciences, horticulture, ag technology, machinery operation, environmental sciences, and so much more. And these young leaders don’t just come from farms anymore. They come from inner cities, suburbs, small towns, and every walk of life. Agriculture belongs to everyone.

If you or your organization have the opportunity, reach out and support your local FFA and 4‑H groups. Our youth truly are the future of this industry.

📸 **Add a picture of your FFA jacket in the comments — we’d love to see them.**

**God Bless the FFA and the FFA Advisors.**

**Hello from the Hulsbosch Family Dairy Farm, Milroy, Indiana.**

With the bitter cold easing just enough to give our crews a more workable window, construction is moving forward at a remarkable pace. Infrastructure, wiring, plumbing — all the behind‑the‑scenes essentials — are being finished out day by day. Some areas of the dairy look ready for cows, while others still have deep trenches and open work zones. That’s the nature of a project this size: progress everywhere you look.

Inside the parlor, the final touches are underway before the milking units are installed. A brick layer is being added to the carousel deck to give our cows secure footing — the same flooring we’re installing in the Direct Load room. This is where every drop of milk will pass through as it cools from the cow’s natural temperature of about 100 degrees down to a transport-ready 34–35 degrees before loading onto trailers.

Our utility rooms are also taking shape, with an impressive network of pipes, conduits, and wiring all converging into one organized hub.

Concrete is being poured in the wastewater processing building, completing the underground tanks and plumbing that allow our sand reclamation system to operate at peak efficiency. The commodities barn is nearly ready for concrete as well. Once cured, the stationary TMR mixer will be installed — another major milestone.

Much of the holding barn work is complete. This barn acts as the main avenue to and from the parlor. After milking, cows will walk through a series of automatic gates. If a cow needs attention — breeding, hoof trimming, or anything else — the system will gently and automatically guide her into the correct lane. Once her care is complete, she walks right back to her herd with minimal stress and minimal time away. The gates themselves are designed with stronger pivot points, replaceable components, and the ability to be lengthened or shortened. Small innovations like these add up to big improvements in animal handling and cow comfort.

As overwhelming as this construction site can look, the miles of conduit, wiring, and plumbing are inching closer to completion. In the photos, you may notice that many machines appear in pairs — pumps, motors, power supplies, and other critical components. That’s intentional. Anything essential to continuous cow movement and milking is duplicated to ensure reliability and uninterrupted operation.

We’re getting close now. Cows are scheduled to begin arriving in mid‑April, and the excitement is building.

Meanwhile, at our Letts location, it’s dairy-as-usual. The deep snow is finally melting, leaving the ground saturated and running with snowmelt. You can feel the buzz there too as everyone prepares for the Milroy startup. A few new — but friendly — faces are being trained in our cow care and cow comfort practices as we get ready to open the new site.

As we approach cow arrival in Milroy, I’ll be sharing some statistics about the project and recognizing the incredible contractors who have brought this vision to life.

Thank you for following our journey, for your comments, your questions, and your support throughout this adventure.

**God Bless the farmer.**

Hello from the Hulsbosch Family Dairy Farms in Milroy, Indiana.

As many across the U.S. prepare for this weekend’s severe winter weather—snow in uncertain amounts paired with strong winds—it brings back memories for some of us of the Blizzard of ’78, when much of the central United States was paralyzed for weeks. We hope everyone stays safe and prepared as this system moves in.

I also want to share an update on the construction progress at our Milroy dairy. Our construction crews continue pushing through the cold to bring this incredible facility to life, all in time for us to begin populating it with our beautiful dairy cows in mid to late April. Yes—mid to late April. From the day we drilled the well, that moment felt so far away, and now we are only months from milking our first cow.

While the exact details of startup are still being finalized, the delivery date for cows is quickly approaching. We are extremely excited—and, to be honest, a little nervous. As anyone knows, whether it’s a new building, a new truck, or a new kitchen appliance, there are always challenges, breakdowns, and unexpected issues. We expect the same here. Our management teams are preparing, training, and building a solid plan to move forward.

There will still be construction underway when the first cows arrive, and we’ll populate the barns in phases as the project continues toward completion. Every time I walk into the barn or parlor, the progress is remarkable—new equipment installed, fresh concrete poured, new structures taking shape. Each completed area brings a wave of excitement and anticipation.

Building a facility of this scale is like assembling a massive puzzle made of a million pieces. Once each piece is set in its proper place, the whole picture begins to emerge. Lines connect to valves, miles of wiring disappear into conduit, infrastructure is installed and then sealed beneath thick concrete. It’s truly majestic to witness the transformation from an open field to a roof and walls spanning more than 16 acres. Miles of wiring, conduit, and water lines… acres of roof… and countless square feet of walls—all housing the latest technology and innovative systems.

The logistics of a project this size can feel overwhelming, but the construction teams and the dedication of the Hulsbosch family have worked hand in hand to bring this vision to reality. There is still plenty of work ahead, but we are getting close—and we are looking forward to milking cows very soon.

Thank you to all the dedicated and professional construction companies and employees who continue working toward the shared goal of creating one of the most efficient dairy facilities in the country. God bless the American farmer, and a heartfelt thank you to every single person who has contributed to this remarkable project.

More updates to come as progress continue....

**Hello from the Hulsbosch Family Dairy Farm, Letts, Indiana.**

At the Hulsbosch dairy, we are on a continuous mission to encourage growth within our employees—both personally and professionally. We work hard to create opportunities that allow that growth to happen, often by taking what some might call an “out‑of‑the‑box” approach. Yes, we have entry‑level positions, but as the old saying goes, *that is just a foot in the door.* Here at the Hulsbosch dairy, that saying takes on its truest meaning.

We place as much—if not more—value on the employee as we do on the work being performed. We encourage our team members to pursue the areas of the farm they are most passionate about. When you enjoy your work and have some control over your professional path, your talents and skills have the greatest opportunity to grow. When the importance of the work is understood, the quality of craftsmanship naturally improves, and with it comes a deeper sense of pride and purpose.

This philosophy is not new to family farming. Many successful family farms thrive because each family member finds the role that complements the others. That example is alive and well here at the Hulsbosch Family Dairy Farm, where each family member’s work supports and strengthens the rest. But this practice does not stop with family—we extend it to every employee on our farm.

Many of our employees have celebrated years, even decades, working alongside us as we continue developing our dairy, elevating our ethical practices in cow care, cow comfort, and operational efficiency. Our farm includes a wide range of departments, from entry‑level roles to highly specialized positions. When your work revolves around an animal—a cow—you can truly focus on a field of study or skill. We encourage that wholeheartedly.

We have employees who perform extensive healthcare work for our cows. They handle all artificial insemination within our breeding program, assist cows during calving when needed, and provide care to newborn calves. Several of these employees have played major roles in developing and improving these areas of the farm, and some have even led tour groups from various animal science programs. It is always impressive to hear them speak about their work and the ways they constantly seek improvement and efficiency.

Our farm includes many specialties—machinery operators, herdsmen, calf‑care teams, barn maintenance, and countless other essential roles. One task that is often overlooked, yet critically important, is cow hoof care. There are nearly endless conditions and injuries that can affect a cow’s hooves, and it takes specialized skill to provide proper treatment. Poor or incorrect hoof care can cause severe damage and even become life‑threatening. This work is essential to the overall health and comfort of our cows, and it directly impacts both the quality and quantity of milk production.

To support this, our cows are regularly scheduled for hoof‑care inspections. Beyond that, hoof baths are placed in their daily paths for cleaning and disinfecting. Our parlor floors are carpeted with nearly 1½ inches of dense, treaded rubber. Common areas are consistently cleaned and washed. Sloped areas are textured to ensure safe footing for both cows and employees. Every detail is intentional. Every detail is dedicated to cow care and comfort.

The Hulsbosch family is incredibly proud of our employees for the extra effort they demonstrate and the positive working culture they cultivate every single day. They are our trendsetters and one of the driving forces behind our success.

**God Bless the farmer and the employee partner who support and drive this industry forward.**

**Hello from the Hulsbosch Family Dairy Farm…**

As we step into 2026, I want to begin this year with deep appreciation for the opportunities, experiences, and incredible people I’ve had the privilege to meet through this dairy farm. Working closely with the Hulsbosch family, our dedicated employees, and our farming partners has been one of the greatest honors of my life.

If you’ve ever taken a tour of our farm, you’ve seen firsthand the dedication that drives everything we do. You’ll witness the care, comfort, and respect we give each cow — from the seven carefully balanced feed rations designed to support her best health, to the clean, fresh bedding prepared daily, to the constant attention given to the common areas of our free‑stall barns. You’ll see how each cow chooses her own place in the herd, reducing stress and creating consistency in her life.

You’ll *feel* the design of our barns at work — the natural air movement, the soft filtered light, the constant exchange of fresh air that keeps both cows and employees comfortable. You’ll see how innovation and efficiency show up everywhere, from our sand reclamation system that now recovers around 95% of the sand we use, to the technologies and research the Hulsbosch family embraces to continually elevate cow care and comfort.

Transparency and education are not side projects here — they are core values. And if you’ve taken a tour, you’ve seen that enthusiasm firsthand.

As the Public Relations Director for this remarkable family and farm, I’ve had the privilege of meeting people from all walks of life — government officials, business leaders, young farmers, curious students, and visitors from around the world. This year alone, nearly 2,000 people toured our farm, many of the youth experiencing agriculture up close for the very first time. Some had never seen a cow before. Others returned for a second or third visit just to learn more.

Every tour brings something unique. I’ve watched wide‑eyed kids stand in awe of a 1,600‑pound cow, and I’ve seen retired farmers smile with nostalgia as they recall their own days in the parlor. We’ve welcomed nursing home residents, Corvette and Model A & T clubs, FFA chapters from across the country, and delegations from around the world.

A few tours this year left a lasting mark on me. One family brought three generations together so Grandpa could check off a bucket‑list wish after receiving a terminal cancer diagnosis — he wanted to see a dairy farm. Another family surprised their dad with a tour for his birthday because it was the only gift he asked for. Moments like these remind me that while we work to build a bridge of understanding between the public and modern agriculture, sometimes *I’m* the one learning the most.

To everyone who has taken the time to visit us over the years — thank you. Guiding these tours has been one of the greatest privileges of my career, and I look forward to continuing this work for many years to come. With the excitement building around our Milroy location, the future of this bridge between our farm and the public is brighter than ever.

**God bless the farmer — and the curious.**
