Dairy Delivery is a new podcast from the Dairy Star, a new way to hear dairy farmers' stories. Dairy Star covers a third of all dairy producers in the U.S. mailing free newspaper copies to farmers in the Upper Midwest. We are "All dairy, all the time™" Our content is presented from the perspective of the producer, from the 50 cow dairy, to the farm of 10,000 cows and everywhere in between.
New episodes are released Mondays after the newspaper is published.
We look forward to bringing you this brand new way to consume Dairy Star. This is Dairy Delivery, all dairy, all the time.

Calf Data, Dairy Nutrition and High-Oleic Soybeans: Conversations From World Dairy Expo
Learning from others in the dairy industry is one of the many opportunities at World Dairy Expo. Today’s episode covers conversations on calf health data, strategies for dairy farm profitability and the considerations that come with using high-oleic soybeans.
First, we look at calf health and the growing pressure to maximize the value of every calf while managing disease risk and tighter replacement supplies. Assistant director of product development at DRMS Robert Fourdraine and Katie Schmitt, industry relations manager for the Council on Dairy Cattle Breeding, discuss what the data shows, along with new traits and tools available to producers. Then, we hear from Paulina Letelier, a consultant with GPS Dairy Consulting, about her work with dairy farmers and strategies for dairy nutrition and profitability. Her approach comes back to keeping things simple and practical. We wrap up with Stacy Nichols, Dairy Technical Sales Manager at Vita Plus, talking about the opportunities and considerations for high-oleic soybeans. He discusses whether an on-farm roaster is needed and the questions producers should ask about their operation before getting started.
Additional BONUS episodes are part of our World Dairy Expo coverage, with one released earlier this week and another coming Friday. Those episodes cover educational seminars, conversations with dairy farmers, youth and more from Expo.

Youth Involvement at World Dairy Expo: The How and Why Behind Their Success
Fitting, showmanship and judging offer young people valuable opportunities to get involved in the dairy industry, grow their skills and build lasting connections. In this special BONUS episode of the Dairy Delivery Podcast, three individuals share how they rose to the top of their respective contests and what they enjoy most about being part of this year's opportunities.
First, we hear from Joseph Achen of Iowa State University, who placed third overall in the National Intercollegiate Dairy Cattle Judging Contest. Although he didn't initially plan to compete when he entered college, watching upperclassmen succeed inspired him to give it a try. He credits his willingness to learn and accept feedback as contributors to his success. Next, 2026 National Guernsey Queen Olivia Jennrich shares how she uses her role to encourage youth involvement while promoting the traditions and values of the Guernsey breed. Heading into Saturday's youth activities, her goal was simply to enjoy the experience – and she did just that, earning a spot in the Senior Showmanship Finals. Finally, we hear from Sutton Paulson, this year's Overall Fitting Contest winner. After earning third place in recent years, his persistence and determination paid off. He discusses the international connections he has built and what it takes to compete at the highest level.
Additional bonus episodes will be released this week on Thursday and Friday, covering this year's World Dairy Expo with educational seminar information, conversations with dairy farmers, youth and more from Expo.
