The Corteva Featured Farmer Program at the Indiana State Fair is designed to celebrate and put a face on Hoosier agriculture by connecting consumers with fellow Hoosiers who grow the food they eat. It is always great to have dairy farmers featured who can tell the story of our industry.
This year, Lueken Dairy Farm of Dubois County and Union Go Dairy of Randolph County will each have a day to be the Featured Farmers. Their days in the spotlight will include multiple interviews and appearances to interact with fairgoers and talk about their family farms. Below are samples of the stories the families will share with fairgoers.
Back in the early 1960s when the Lueken family started their dairy, most people knew a dairy farmer. That is not the case today, which is why Alex and Abby Lueken devote time to telling the story of milk production from their dairy in Dubois County. Milking 1,400 cows three times a day keeps the third-generation dairy farmers and their employees busy, yet they still find time to host events and do consumer outreach.
