Share Your Story This National Dairy Month

 

Quality dairy products start with the best milk in the world, produced by Wisconsin’s devoted dairy farmers. As one of the nation’s top producers of dairy and supplier of more than half the country’s specialty cheese, Wisconsin does dairy better than anyone. Dairy products are a natural source of immune-boosting nutrients, like vitamin A, vitamin D and protein that our bodies need. Dairy is also the backbone to our state’s economy providing $45.6 billion in economic activity.

National Dairy Month pays tribute to the steadfast Wisconsin dairy farmers who contribute to their local communities, care for the land and animals, and produce delicious and nutritious dairy products. Dairy farming is a family affair in Wisconsin, with over 95% of all dairy farms being family owned.
