Waukon Dairy is a large-scale dairy operation located southeast of Gary, Minnesota, and operated by Riverview LLP in connection with Skaurud Grain Farms.
The facility milks over 10,000 cows daily and features a 128-stall rotary milking parlor. Its scale and efficiency make it a key partner in the forage system.
Waukon Forage plays a vital role in supporting the broader agricultural ecosystem surrounding Waukon Dairy.
Feed produced through the operation—corn silage, haylage, and straw—supports a 10,500-cow dairy, ensuring consistent, high-quality nutrition.
In return, manure from the dairy is composted and returned to the land, naturally replenishing soil nutrients, reducing reliance on synthetic fertilizers, and sustaining long-term productivity.
This closed-loop system benefits both the land and the local farming community.
