Jon-De Farm, Inc.
Green Tier - Tier 1 Participant

Jon-De Farm, Inc. is a dairy farm located in Baldwin, Wisconsin. The farm employs more than 40 people and currently milks 1550 dairy cows (while feeding an additional 150 dry cows), with plans to expand in the near future. Jon-De Farm is one of the first dairy farms in Wisconsin, and perhaps in the entire United States, to implement a comprehensive environmental management system (EMS). This EMS is helping Jon-De Farm ensure that they routinely comply with all legal requirements and it is the driving force behind significant changes that are moving the farm on a path toward greater sustainability. Under Green Tier, Jon-De Farm is focusing on improvements in the areas of manure and nutrient management, pest and disease minimization, soil compaction, recycling, safe use of chemicals, and biosecurity.
