National Dairy Month: Dairy MAX recognizes family-owned dairies

Dairy MAX is joining in on National Dairy Month celebrations, recognizing the farm families across the country who nourish communities, drive economic growth, and advance sustainable food production.

DairyMAX CEO Keira Lombardo says the group focused on driving demand for milk and dairy foods while supporting public health and strengthening communities. It is also working towards net-zero emissions by 2050 through collaboration across the supply chain.

According to Dairy MAX and the National Dairy Council, over 94 percent of U.S. dairy farms are still family-owned, carrying forward a legacy built over generations. The industry supports over three million jobs and generates over $40 billion in wages.

Dairy Max invites everyone to celebrate National Dairy Month by exploring delicious dairy-inspired recipes, farm stories, nutrition facts, and more on their website: BetterWithDairy.com
