“June is National Dairy Month, and, personally, I can't think of a better way to start the summer. From calcium to potassium, dairy products, like milk, contain nine essential nutrients which may help to better manage your weight, reduce your risk for high blood pressure, osteoporosis, and certain cancers. Whether it is a protein to help build and repair the muscle tissue of active bodies or vitamin A to help maintain healthy skin, dairy products are a natural nutrient powerhouse. Those are just a few of the reasons that we should celebrate dairy not just in June, but all year long. National Dairy Month started out as National Milk Month in 1937 as a way to promote drinking milk. It was initially created to stabilize the dairy demand when production was at a surplus, but has now developed into an annual tradition that celebrates the contributions the dairy industry has made to the world. Proudly, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania is one of the largest milk- producing States in the Nation, certainly the largest agriculture commodity in Pennsylvania. As vice chairman of the House Agriculture Committee and chairman of the Nutrition Subcommittee, I wish everyone a happy National Dairy Month. ____________________”
