Bill Summary

Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim June 2025 as Dairy Month in the State of New York

AI Summary

This resolution requests Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim June 2025 as Dairy Month in New York State, highlighting the significant role of the dairy industry in the state's economy and agricultural landscape. The resolution provides context about National Dairy Month, which began in 1937 to promote milk consumption, and emphasizes New York's substantial dairy production, with over 2,800 dairy farms, approximately 630,000 dairy cows, and more than 16 billion pounds of milk produced annually. The document notes that dairy is a critical economic sector, representing about half of New York's agricultural product sales, and acknowledges the industry's challenges, including the loss of over 250 dairy farms between 2022 and 2023. The resolution also celebrates dairy farmers as land stewards and highlights the nutritional benefits of dairy products, including essential nutrients like calcium, phosphorous, B vitamins, and protein. By passing this resolution, the Legislative Body aims to recognize and support New York's dairy industry, its farmers, and their contributions to the state's agricultural and economic well-being.
