We’re #DFAProud that Karen Jordan, DVM, a DFA farmer-owner from N.C., recently received the National Institute for Animal Agriculture (NIAA)’s Meritorious Service Award.

It’s the longest-standing award within the organization and is presented to leaders within animal agriculture who have invested their careers in advancing the animal agriculture sector.

Dr. Jordan has been a veterinarian by trade for 35 years, she primarily focuses on dairy herd health, as well as being a dairy farmer herself, along with her husband, Norman.

In addition to dairying, Karen is active in agriculture beyond the farm as a member of our Southeast Area Council, a board member for the NIAA and National Milk Producers Federation as well as chairwoman of the National Dairy FARM Program’s animal care task force.

“Karen’s impact on the dairy industry has been profound,” says Jackie Klippenstein, senior vice president and chief government and industry relations officer at DFA. “Her dedicated engagement and continued guidance have been instrumental in shaping policies and procedures that enhance herd health, bolster biosecurity and foster greater consumer confidence in the industry.”

Join us in congratulating Dr. Jordan on this outstanding and well-deserved accomplishment!
