Summary

This resolution expresses support for designating June 2025 as "National Dairy Month" to highlight the critical role dairy plays in maintaining a healthy diet and preserving the Nation's agricultural economy.

The resolution emphasizes dairy as a key source of essential vitamins and nutrients, such as calcium and vitamin D, crucial for a healthy diet as recommended by the Dietary Guidelines for Americans. Following these guidelines is linked to improved bone health and a reduced risk of osteoporosis and cardiovascular diseases, addressing widespread nutrient deficiencies. Furthermore, the resolution acknowledges the substantial economic impact of the U.S. dairy industry, contributing over $793 billion and supporting 3.2 million jobs. It condemns arbitrary regulatory burdens placed on dairy farmers and encourages all Americans to support them.
