	June is Dairy Month; Time to Celebrate
	June is Dairy Month, and this is a perfect time to celebrate and recognize dairy farmers. Many dairy farms have been passed on from one generation to the next as a lifestyle and family decision and a means to earn a living just as their ancestors once did. It takes patience, hard work, and dedication to care for the cattle, the land and the household. Balancing the finances, the crops, the milking, and the weather conditions sometimes becomes a juggling act, but in the end the work is completed. Dairy farmers have a lot to be proud of as they produce healthy, wholesome and nutritious products that consumers depend on every day. Let’s support our dairy farmers and plan a day or more as they invite us to visit their farms and take a glance into their daily lives. Click here to see a listing of dairy events being sponsored and/or hosted by Equity's producer-members by date of event.
