Dairy and the way it's consumed and regulated has changed over the past 85 years and the St. Louis District Dairy Council is using this 85th birthday to get the word out about dairy and how it effects communities on local and national levels.
According to Monica Nyman, from the St. Louis District Dairy Council, June was chosen as Dairy Month 80 years ago as a way to help dairy farmers disperse their extra milk and has evolved into a way to honor dairy farmers and educate the public about the health benefits of dairy products in your everyday diet.
Every glass of milk contributes to the economy and sustaining rural communities adds Nyman.
