Horizon Expands, But Still Stinks.

"Horizon Organic®, which helped pioneer organic dairy farming practices 15 years ago, has expanded into two new “Heartland” states. This brings the company’s total number of states with organic farmer-partners to 22. Seven family farms in Nebraska and one family farm in South Dakota joined Horizon Organic’s growing number of farmer-partners.

The seven new farmer-partners in Nebraska are located in the northeast corner of the state near Bloomfield and Stanton. The herds range from 35 to 120 dairy cows. Mike Wortman, a new farmer-partner from Hartington, Neb., who grew up on a dairy farm, held a city job for the last 15 years and has returned to his roots. He began dairy farming in 2006 and manages a 90-cow herd."
