The Next Gen of Sustainability at Bar 20 Dairy

In a past episode, Peggy visited with California dairyman Steve Shehadey, as he shared the innovations in renewable energy and sustainability that have earned Bar 20 Dairy in the San Joaquin Valley the 2023 Innovative Dairy Farmer of the Year award and positioned this family business for the future. Peggy talked with Steve’s daughter, Bonney – who represents the fourth generation of this family business, and who plans to make her own mark in the dairy sustainability arena.

How did this young leader, who actually didn’t grow up, right on the dairy, take it upon herself to learn the ground-level work, from milking to backing up a mixer wagon. How did being an athlete with asthma impact her own views on air quality and her dedication to sustainability? And how does this fresh Cal Poly graduate view the dairy industry and her own future?
