“The DFBS has enabled our farm to make solid business decisions on expansions and monitoring income and expenses comparing ourselves to other farms in our area, state and country. Without the DFBS, we believe we will lose critical information that keeps us competitive and eventually lead to an unstable food supply in our region and statewide.”
-- Mark Stanton, farm operator of 360-cow dairy farm in Albany County, DFBS participant for 20 years.
