June Dairy Month Proclamation
Missouri Ag Connection - 06/23/2021

Surrounded by dairy farmers and industry leaders, Missouri Gov. Mike Parson proclaimed June as Dairy Month.

The proclamation recognizes the hard work and contributions of our dairy farmers statewide, said Reagan Bluel, University of Missouri Extension dairy specialist and educational director for Missouri Dairy(opens in new window).

Annually, the dairy industry in Missouri generates more than 24,000 jobs in production, process and distribution throughout the state and $3 billion of economic impact to the state's gross domestic product, Bluel said. Farmers statewide are committed to producing the highest-quality milk every day.

Dairy foods provide an excellent source of protein, with essential amino acids important for human health. Additionally, dairy provides important sources of calcium, potassium, phosphorus, magnesium, zinc, vitamins A, D and B12, and riboflavin.
