June is Dairy Month! It’s a time set aside to acknowledge the women, men and children throughout the country that work together daily to help produce and provide some of the most nutritious and responsibly produced protein products available. Did you know that 97% of dairy farms are family-owned and operated? Dairy farmers are committed to caring for their cows, the land, and the environment to bring you the dairy foods you love.
Here’s an example. Do you like chocolate milk? That chocolate milk you are enjoying might be a part of a larger sustainability story! One gallon of milk is now produced with 90 % less land and 65 % less water than it was decades ago.
Satisfying your sweet tooth while helping the environment? That’s a win-win. Using innovative and safe technologies, the dairy industry delivers exceptional animal care, quality nutrition, and the freshest products around.
