Overview

The settlement resolves claims concerning a June 2025 data security incident at Dairy Farmers of America in which files containing private information may have been accessed by an unauthorized third party. The case is Jason Buhl v. Dairy Farmers of America, Inc., No. WY-2026-CV-000143, in the District Court of Wyandotte County, Kansas. DFA denies wrongdoing, and the court has not decided which side is right.
