Interview with the Family – Q&A

Q:  When did your Dairy’s story begin? How did your journey begin? A: In 1953, while farming nearby, Joe Kinnard purchased this farm with the intent that his son Vernon would take it over when he got out of the service. Vernon and his wife Betty officially took over in 1958, milking 36 cows. Their sons David (Anita) and Randy then formed a partnership with their father upon graduating from high school, growing the herd to 100 cows. Vernon retired in 1992 and continued to help on the farm. David’s son Brian and Randy’s son Kyler joined in the partnership as the 4th generation in 2013 and in 2015 a new sand bedded freestall barn was built with 4 Lely Robotic milking systems to grow the heard to it’s present size of 290 cows. 

Q: What is your farming background? Are you a 1st-generation farmer, or do you come from many generations of farmers? A: 4 generations. 

Q:  What milestones happened in the early years? Kids, expansions – what were the highlights? A: Vernon and Betty have 4 children, 14 grandchildren, and 12 great-grandchildren with 2 more on the way. Dave and Anita have 5 children and 8 grandchildren. Randy has 3 children, 1 granddaughter and 1 on the way. Brian and his wife Caitlin have 2 boys. Kyler and his wife Tarynn are expecting there first in July. 

Q:  To sum it all up – what do we see here today? What are your achievements? What are your goals & values? A: Our farm strives to maintain a high producing herd with the upmost care for our animals the land and our neighbors. 

Q:  Anything else you’d like to share? A:  We hosted Breakfast on the Farm in 1989.
