June is Dairy Month

Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger proclaimed June 2009 as “Real California Milk Month” in the state of California. The proclamation honors the efforts of California’s 1,950 dairy farmers and the California Milk Advisory Board (CMAB) to keep the state’s dairy industry healthy and strong. This proclamation coincides with the CMAB’s 40th anniversary celebration and national dairy month.

2009 A Difficult Year

So far 2009 has been a difficult year for the California dairy industry. Producers are stuck between high feed and fuel prices and decreased milk prices. Contributing to the problem is the general worldwide economic slow down.
