Celebrating National Dairy Month with Cultivated in Love
Did you know that June is National Dairy Month? Dairy consumes meal from 1.9 million bushels of South Dakota soybeans annually.
Dairy farmers work tirelessly to ensure that their cows are healthy and well-cared for, providing them with comfortable housing, nutritious feed, and access to clean water. They also use advanced technology to monitor their cows' health and production, ensuring that they're able to produce high-quality milk.
The impact of South Dakota's dairy industry on the state's economy is significant. According to the International Dairy Foods Association, the industry generated a total economic impact of $4.85 billion in the past year and created 14,700 jobs in the state. This underscores the dairy industry's vital role in the state's economic growth and employment opportunities.
