“Kyle helped me understand water quality regulations that effect my dairy and helped me fulfill my groundwater sampling requirements.”

Cory Rocha, Dairy Farmer, Ferndale CA

Kyle worked with me to validate my water quality permit at my dairy. It was a lengthy process, and he did a great job. I am grateful that free resources like the DTAP program exist.

James O'Neil, Loleta

Becoming a dairy farmer, I knew the industry was regulated, but I didn’t realize how complicated the processes were until I was involved. Kyle helped me understand how to comply with the water board and other regulations. Free resources like the DTAP program are invaluable, giving me the tools to navigate bureaucratic challenges and keep my dairy in business. I’m truly grateful for the support.
