Why Choose Wakarusa Nutritional Services?

For over two decades, the Martin family has been optimizing dairy nutrition—not just as a business, but as dairy farmers ourselves. When Franklin Martin purchased that first Penta vertical feed mixer in 2001 for our family dairy, we discovered firsthand how proper nutrition transforms herd performance. Since then, we’ve helped hundreds of operations increase production, improve herd health, and maximize profitability through custom-blended rations.

What sets us apart? We’re not just nutritionists—we milk cows every morning.

We understand the challenges of dairy farming because we live them. From transition cow management to heat stress strategies, from maximizing components to controlling costs, we’ve been there. That hands-on experience informs every custom ration we formulate for our neighbors in Northern Indiana and beyond.
