Dairy Farmers of America, Inc.

Dairy Farmers of America, known as DFA, is a national milk marketing cooperative and dairy food processor. It markets milk on behalf of its dairy farmer members and works to pay them a competitive price, and it offers programs and services that make farming easier and more profitable.

Its Northeast Area office is in East Syracuse and serves more than 2,000 dairy farmer members, a reminder of how large dairy is in upstate New York’s rural economy. Dairy is one of the most important farm sectors in the state, which makes a milk cooperative a big part of the picture.
