Welcome to Milk Theory episode three. Jeremy Pike, Director of Sustainability at Idaho Milk Products, explains how Idaho Milk Products is vertically integrated and what that means, and how the owner dairies use cross-vent barns, ration-based feeding with upcycled co-products, and crop rotation to improve efficiency and soil health.

The episode also covers manure management systems that separate solids for bedding and use anaerobic digesters to produce renewable natural gas (RNG) or electricity, closing the loop between farm and plant for a more sustainable dairy supply chain.
