Effective June 8, schools may begin offering whole and 2% milk at breakfast thanks to the โ€œfinal ruleโ€ issued by USDA this month. Schools were able to start serving whole milk for lunch when the Whole Milk for Healthy Kids Act passed in January.

American Dairy Association North East is supporting schools within its six-state region as they work with dairy processors based on logistics and availability. School changes are expected to roll out as districts update menus and contracts. Learn more about whole milk opportunities and find tips for dairy farmers to help their local schools incorporate the new options: https://us.list-manage.com/NQltbyCaYPf?e=e0a1e22bef&c2id=73af51b249276834c50610d6478d6995

Thank you to Senator Vogel, Senator Schwank, Representative Pashinski, and Representative Moul, along with Deputy Secretary Graybeal, for paying tribute to our industry during Dairy Day at the Capitol yesterday! Jayne Sebright spoke about how dairy farm families serve as a cornerstone in their communities, caring for their animals and the land while remaining dedicated to finding a way to the next 250 years. The Pennsylvania Dairy Princess State Royalty team gave a toast and PA Dairymen's Association provided their famous milkshakes. It was a wonderful day to celebrate America's 250th Anniversary and PA dairy!
