Last month, we introduced you to three companies from our 2022 DFA Accelerator program. This month, we are bringing you the remaing three innovative companies. As a reminder,  the DFA accelerator is a 3-month program where startups in ag-tech and commercial dairy products work with DFA to help build their businesses and bring value to DFA’s family-farm owners and the dairy industry.

From on-farm sustainability and animal welfare to sustainable manufacturing techniques, the 2022 accelerator class is working to have a positive impact on the dairy industry.

This month, are two of the companies are working on ways to make the dairy industry more sustanaible and one is focused on all things animal welfare. Our host, Doug Dresslaer, talked dairy with Lyras, Cattle Scan and Hago Energetics.
