Bill > HRes527

This resolution supports the designation of June 2025 as "National Dairy Month" by highlighting the critical importance of the dairy industry in the United States. The resolution emphasizes that 97 percent of dairy farms are family-owned, with over 60,000 farms supporting 3 million individuals across the country. It underscores the nutritional significance of dairy, noting that dairy products provide essential nutrients like calcium and vitamin D, which are crucial for bone health and heart function. The resolution cites dietary guidelines recommending 2-3 cups of dairy equivalent daily for different age groups and points out that many Americans do not meet their calcium and vitamin D requirements. Additionally, the resolution recognizes the dairy industry's substantial economic impact of $793.75 billion and its support of 3.2 million jobs. It calls for supporting dairy farmers, condemning arbitrary regulatory restrictions, and acknowledging their vital role in maintaining a healthy diet and preserving the nation's agricultural heritage.
