"The honours received at the World Dairy Innovation Awards shine the spotlight on the Canadian dairy industry by recognizing its innovations, from the production of milk right up to how we promote it to consumers," says Pierre Lampron, president of Dairy Farmers of Canada. "These marketing accolades would not be possible without our dairy farmers and their hard work. In blazing a trail for sustainable milk production, they make promoting this hard work all the easier."

Last year, DFC committed to reaching net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 with a mission to spread the word on sustainability.  The campaign recognized at the World Dairy Innovation Awards centers on how Canada's dairy farmers are working hard to reach this objective. Through the "We're In" campaign, we highlighted new, innovative practices that showed Canadians how our industry is dedicated to a greener future for everyone.

"The awards our team have received reflects the positive commitment of Canadian dairy farmers in tackling sustainability," said Pamela Nalewajek, Chief Marketing Officer for DFC. "Caring for the environment isn't just confined to one industry or country – it's everyone's responsibility. To win on a global stage like this is another example of Canadian dairy's leadership on the issue."

The World Dairy Innovation Awards are a celebration of innovation and excellence across every category of the international dairy industry.

Video: Turning Better Feed Into Better Herds: Innovation in Forage Harvesting


What happens when a dairy farmer gets frustrated with equipment that isn’t doing its job? In this episode, we sit down with Horning Manufacturing founder Leon Horning to hear how a problem in the feed bunk led to a globally recognized forage equipment company.

Born out of a third-generation dairy operation in Pennsylvania, Horning Manufacturing started with one goal: helping cows get more nutrition from silage. Leon shares how his father, Leon Sr., built the first kernel processor rolls in the family farm shop after seeing whole corn kernels pass through cows undigested — costing valuable feed efficiency and milk production.

We explore the company’s journey from a side project on the farm to an international manufacturer serving dairy farmers, beef operators, and custom harvesters around the world. Along the way, Leon discusses the evolution of pull-type forage harvesters, the engineering behind Horning’s “plug-and-play” kernel processor kits, and why reducing downtime during harvest can make or break a season.

The conversation also dives into Horning’s row-independent corn heads, practical equipment design, real-world customer stories, and how innovations born in the field continue to shape the company today.

Whether you’re a producer, equipment enthusiast, or simply love stories of grassroots innovation, this episode offers a fascinating look at how one farm family turned necessity into industry-changing technology.
