(Note: Although this is being printed in July, it’s June that is considered to be National Dairy Month. This information was obtained from the State of Minnesota.)
We take this time to salute all the hard-working dairy farmers in the central Minnesota area for the great job they do 365 days a year in hot weather, rain and (let’s not forget) the winter months, too. I’m glad these men and women work hard for us all year long. Let’s take the time to thank them for all the good food they put out for us each and every day of the week. The dairy farmer brings lots of good food to our tables. If it wasn’t for the farmer, we would not have foods like ice cream, cheese and yogurt. So next time you are at the grocery store, make sure to look for the “Real” seal because we need to support American Dairy Farmers and the work they do. I would also like to support the truck drivers who haul all those great dairy products. Hats off to all dairy farmers – thanks for a great job. Let’s have a glass of good milk today.
