National Dairy Month kicked off Tuesday with World Milk Day.
Dairy Farmer Amy Bunse of Savannah says this month provides an opportunity for her to thank everyone in the industry.
“It takes a community to run a dairy farm,” Bunse tells St. Joseph Post. “There’re so many people that help make a dairy farm well run.”
Bunse says a day in a life of a dairy farmer varies day to day with a few things staying the same.
“Every day we have the morning milking, the evening milking, and then getting everybody fed,” says Bunse.
Bunse says her brother farms and produces the feed for their animals.
National Dairy Month started out as a way to distribute extra milk during the warm months of summer. The commemoration was established in 1937 by grocer organizations sponsoring “National Milk Month.” By 1939, June became the official “dairy month.”
