U.S. dairy farmers claim June as ‘dairy month’

Dairy farmers are claiming June as their own, proclaiming it as dairy month. National dairy month serves as a reminder of the health benefits of drinking milk and consuming a healthy doze of dairy products.

June was declared National Dairy Month in 1937 as a campaign to promote drinking milk, which was created to help stabilize the milk market when production was at a surplus. It has evolved over time to mark an annual tradition that celebrates not only milk and dairy products, but also to thank those who produce it.
The following is a few dairy facts:
