SPARKS, Nev. (RFD News) — June is National Dairy Month, and Nevada dairy farmers are using the opportunity to highlight the families behind the farms.
Through a campaign called “From Our Herd to Yours,” producers are sharing their stories and helping consumers better understand where their dairy products come from.
Libby Lovig with Nevada Dairy Farmers joined us on Tuesday’s Market Day Report to discuss the campaign and other activities taking place throughout the month.
During her conversation with RFD News, Lovig discussed the importance of National Dairy Month and how programs like “From Our Herd to Yours” help connect consumers with dairy farming.
She also talked about events planned throughout June, including a calf naming contest designed to engage consumers and strengthen connections to agriculture.
