A good time in Kentucky during June Dairy Month!
June was a very busy as we celebrated Dairy Month across the state! Dairy Night at the Ballgames in Lexington and Bowling Green were a big hit as we visited with dairy producers and promoted dairy to other baseball fans. At the Lexington game we were able to host a proclamation signing with Agriculture Commissioner Jonathan Shell. Governor Beshear also signed a proclamation in Frankfort at the capitol. These proclamation signings have been a tradition for several years now and are a great time to promote dairy and the industry and we welcome producers to attend these events. There were some county signings throughout the state as well and many other fun dairy month activities! Find more pictures from these events, as well as other dairy updates, on our Facebook!
