Explore the Benefits of Modern Dairy by Tuning in to AEM’s Upcoming Webinar

To celebrate National Dairy Month in June AEM, in partnership with Dairy Farmers of America and The National Milk Producers Federation, is pleased to present findings from the recently released Environmental Benefits of Modern Dairy, Hay and Forage Technologies study. This study aims to quantify the environmental benefits that modern technologies afford to these select operations. 

Scheduled for June 23 from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m. CST, Vice President Sustainability Modeling & Measurement Fabian Bernal of Dairy Management Inc. will present the study’s findings, moderated by AEM’s Director of Agricultural Services Austin Gellings.  

The study shares benefits of dairy and the practices associated with modern dairy production, while debunking common myths and misconceptions about modern dairy practices. Additionally, it quantifies how far farmers have come and projects the achievements that can be reached by 2030 if the industry continues along the trend of innovation. The webinar will then discuss a roadmap for how the industry will start to achieve the goal of reaching net zero by 2050. 

AEM, The National Milk Producers Federation and Dairy Farmers of America continue to work together to advance technologies and practices that will bring the potential the study highlights to fruition including promoting policies that reward innovation, growing farm income, improving enabling infrastructure and improving consumer communication.

Dr. Troy Rowan sits down with CLEAR Conversations host, Tracy Sellers. Dr. Rowan was a featured speaker at the 2025 State of the Science Summit at UC Davis. The event will return next year on June 16-18, 2026, continuing its focus on advancing livestock methane research and collaborative solutions.

Rowan, now an assistant professor at the University of Tennessee Institute of Agriculture, grew up surrounded by cattle on his family’s Charolais operation in Iowa. His family has been farming and ranching there for more than a century — long enough for the rhythms of agriculture to get in his blood.
