Rader Family Farms is a 4th-generation family farm built on hard work, faith, and a love for agriculture. Our roots date back to 1935 when our family farm was known as the Plainview Guernsey Dairy Farm. For decades, our family milked cows and raised crops to feed our herd, with little going to market. Our dad, Lynn Rader, and his six younger siblings grew up on the farm, showing cows in 4-H and embracing the daily demands of dairy life.
