Case Study: Dairy Farmers restore bottom line and gain peace of mind with DTN
A DTN Case Study
Dairy farmer returns to DTN for his bottom line and peace of mind
Dairy Farmers, represented by David Graybill of Mifflintown, Pennsylvania, faced tight margins after a drop in milk prices and cut costs by cancelling a DTN MyDTN subscription. Relying on free weather services proved too imprecise for critical decisions like hay baling, and Graybill estimates he lost three to four times the value in crops compared with what the annual DTN subscription would have cost.
DTN restored the MyDTN service, delivering highly‑local weather, specialty hay‑timing tools and market insights; with DTN’s forecasts Graybill could time baling, wrapping, spraying, planting and winter work more accurately. The result was better scheduling, preserved hay quality, fewer weather‑related losses, improved planting confidence (growing‑degree‑day planning) and renewed peace of mind—outcomes Graybill attributes directly to DTN.
