The Kentucky Dairy Development Council (KDDC) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting and advancing the dairy industry in Kentucky by providing resources, advocacy, and education to dairy producers. KDDC generates revenue primarily through grants, partnerships, and membership dues, which fund initiatives such as producer workshops, herd management programs, and industry research. Established in 2005, the council has played a key role in promoting sustainability, improving milk quality, and fostering collaboration among dairy farmers, processors, and government agencies.
