Beth Ford: Leadership in the Dairy Industry

Beth Ford serves as the CEO of Land O' Lakes, a prominent cooperative in the dairy industry. She has been vocal about the financial challenges faced by farmers, particularly highlighting a significant 25% drop in farm income from 2022 to 2024. The projection for 2025 indicates a median farm income of -$328, which Ford emphasizes as a critical issue alongside the aging farmer population.

Ford's leadership is also marked by her recent resignation from the board of BlackRock, reflecting her focus on the pressing issues within the agricultural sector. Her efforts continue to shed light on the economic difficulties and demographic challenges that are reshaping the landscape of farming today.
