Bio

Krogmeier Dairy is comprised of 400 rolling acres in South East Iowa. Of the 400 acres, approximately half is farmable ground, with the other half a balance of pasture and timber. On our farm we have 3 primary interest: agriculture, dairying and conservation. Our agriculturural practices include no till farming, cover crops, and incorporating our dairy livestock in the operation. Our dairy consists of 130 milk cows, primarily holstein and jersey plus young stock. We milk in a milking parlor twice a day, our cows are housed in a free stall barn and have access to pasture, weather permitting. We use a portion of our milk to make cheese and other dairy products at our processing plant, Hinterland Dairy, which we built in 2019, also located on our farm. Our conservation practices include enrolling a portion of our farm in the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) as well as the Conservation Stewardship Program (CSP). These programs are designed to improve water quality, soil health and wildlife habitat. We enjoy seeing wildlife and encourage it's habitat. We have an abudance of white tail deer and other wildlife. Even though we are not hunters, we encourage the harvesting of white tail deer.
