Discover, Taste, and Celebrate America's Dairyland in June

MADISON, Wis., May 18, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- June is National Dairy Month, a special time to discover, taste and celebrate the living legacy of Wisconsin dairy.

"When it comes to dairy, our state has a rich history," says Chad Vincent, CEO of Dairy Farmers of Wisconsin. "This month provides a great opportunity for consumers to connect with dairy farmers who have dedicated their lives to caring for their land, animals and communities."

DISCOVER

Wisconsin is known as America's Dairyland because dairy farming is key to the state's economy and its communities. Wisconsin's dairy industry creates 157,100 jobs, and every dollar generated by this industry produces another $1.73 in additional revenue for the state.

Wisconsin's dairy farmers also have a deep appreciation for and intimate ties to their heritage, land, and animals. Honoring each of these elements is imperative not only to their business, but also to the Earth, their families, and consumers. This June, for National Dairy Month, discover the immense legacy of Wisconsin dairy.
