As the dairying business grew in the state, farmers organized groups to help them learn better production methods and to help market their products.

The first "Maine Dairymen's Association" began in 1874 as a clearinghouse for information. It did not last long.

A new group with the same name adopted a constitution in 1898. Its purpose was to promote the dairy industry.
