Texas — Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller proudly declared June as National Dairy Month, shining a spotlight on the hardworking dairymen and dairywomen across the state who sustain one of Texas’s most essential industries: dairy production.
From the rolling hills of the Hill Country to the expansive High Plains, these dedicated producers rise before dawn every day of the year, ensuring that families nationwide have access to safe, nutritious, and high-quality dairy products such as milk, cheese, and ice cream.
“National Dairy Month isn’t just about milk, cheese, and ice cream – it’s about community, tradition, and serves as a chance for our agricultural producers to educate consumers on where their food comes from and the importance of dairy,” Commissioner Miller emphasized.
He also noted the vital role the dairy industry plays in supporting rural economies and preserving family farms that have been passed down through generations. “I encourage you to show appreciation for our dairy workers. They contribute significantly to our economy, ensuring Texas remains a leader in the industry,” Miller added.
The recognition serves as a reminder of the commitment and passion behind Texas’s dairy industry and its impact on both local communities and the broader agricultural landscape.
