Happy National Milk Day!

National Milk Day commemorates the day  in our dairy history when milk 

deliveries were made in glass bottles. Alexander Campbell of

 New York Dairy Company is believed

to be the first to make deliveries.

It's fitting to continue celebrating this event because it 

represents the ongoing changes in our industry that have brought 

convenience and a wide variety of  products to give us more 

options in feeding our families. 

From home deliveries

to the wide variety of dairy products available today,

as the saying goes,"we've come a long way,baby."

                                   I'm raising my glass to day in celebration of our dairy industry.
                                                                   Will you join me?
                     
                                                  Happy National Milk Day!

Have you heard....

January 11 is National Milk Day!

According to the National Day Calendar, National Milk Day commemorates

 the day that many think the first milk deliveries in

 glass bottles began in the United States. 

Alexander Campbell of the New York Dairy
Company professed to the New York State Senate that his 

company was the first to make these deliveries in 1878.

To those of us who love every aspect of dairy, 

it's another opportunity to celebrate milk!

I'm thankful we can enjoy and celebrate  milk everyday of the year!

I learned alot about the dairy industry in Benton County when preparing for our Arkansas Heritage program. This farmer was delivering his milk to the Kraft Plant in Bentonville in 1948.  I'm thankful for the improvements in the dairy industry like refrigerated milk tanks on the dairy  farm  that keep the milk cool  before being transported to the processing plant and for our faithful  milk truck driver!
