Support veterinarian mental healthÂ
The mental health and well-being of veterinarians has become one of the most important topics in the dairy community, with veterinarian suicides increasing. Zoetis encourages people in the dairy industry to help raise awareness and funds to support dairy veterinarians. Participants have the opportunity to recognize and nominate veterinarians in their life for a chance to receive a personalized jacket.
For every nomination Zoetis will donate to Not One More Vet â a nonprofit organization of 32,000 members. The organization helps veterinarian professionals and students struggling with mental health and wellness through education, resources and support.

Five Midwestern dairy groups evaluating solutions to federal milk pricing issues recently sent their comprehensive focus to Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack.
The groups seek a broad scope of focus should there be a Federal Milk Marketing Orders emergency hearing about reform. In April, the groups announced a proposal called Class III Plus, aimed at creating long-term stability in fluid milk pricing and reducing the likelihood of negative producer price differentials.

It’s been about a year since the University of Nebraska-Lincoln Dairy Store in Filley Hall within the Food Industry Complex, which includes the old Dairy Industry building, moved from its location on the south side of the building to the north side of the complex, facing East Campus Union.
This new space offers a renovated seating area and store operations, along with a view of Legacy Plaza and Dinsdale Family Learning Commons, formerly C.Y. Thompson Library.
The new location hosted a grand reopening on March 10, 2020, the day before COVID-19 temporarily closed campus. The Dairy Store first opened as Varsity Dairy in 1917 and served all-you-can-drink milk for a nickel to anyone who brought their own glass and provided dairy products for UNL dormitories.
