Kentucky officially celebrates June Dairy Month

The Kentucky dairy industry was honored for its accomplishments as Agriculture Commissioner James Comer officially proclaimed June as Dairy Month.

“I hope every Kentuckian will join me in saluting Kentucky’s hard-working dairy farm families,” said Commissioner Comer. “They provide the milk and other dairy products that we all depend on. And they do it every day. A dairy cow never takes a day off.”

Kentucky’s dairy industry generated an estimated $760 million in economic activity last year with 850 dairies producing nearly 1.1 billion pounds of fluid milk, placing Kentucky 27^th in the nation.
