Jeff Kleinpeter of Kleinpeter Dairy has been featured in a cover story in Progressive Farmer magazine. The publication, which has a circulation of more than 600,000, is one of the leading trade journals for the agribusiness industry. Kleinpeter is part of a feature in the May issue, dealing with the challenges faced by the livestock industry. The company has managed to hold its ground in the dairy industry by promoting its hormone-free milk and offering new items such as ice cream. “It’s tough,” Kleinpeter told Progressive Farmer. “Twelve or 13 years ago, there were about 1,500 dairies in Louisiana. Now there may be 180.” This is the second time in a year Kleinpeter has been featured in a national magazine; he was included in a Vanity Fair article about Monsanto Corp. in May 2008.
