Gov. Brown proclaims June as ‘Real California Milk Month’
The proclamation highlights the importance of dairy to the Golden State’s landscape, economy, health and nutrition.
In celebration of June Dairy Month and the contribution of the state's more than 1,300 dairy farm families to the communities and economy of California, Gov. Edmund G. Brown Jr. proclaimed June as "Real California Milk Month." This regional distinction is in addition to the annual National Dairy Month celebration that recognizes the range of dairy products and the farmers who produce the milk that helps feed the nation and, increasingly, the world, according to the California Milk Advisory Board (CMAB), Tracy, Calif.
"The landscape, economy, health, and nutrition of California would not be the same without our dairy farms,” Brown’s proclamation states. “I urge all Californians to take time to appreciate the privilege of living in one of the world's great dairy-producing regions, and to support our industry by buying milk and other dairy products from our Golden State."
