In the spirit of dairy month, it’s time to gear up with dairy facts and start talking with the consumers. Despite rumors that low dairy prices may “sour” dairy month, it’s increasingly important to remain positive and work towards raise demand for dairy products. According to the University of Illinois, consumers annually indulge on:
-20.7 gallons of milk
-31.9 pounds of cheese
-21.2 pounds of ice cream
-4.4 pounds of butter
I think those numbers are pretty interesting, but you might need more than that in a typical conversation with a consumer. Here are a few more facts that might pique the interest of the folks in your community:
Did you know there are dairy farms in all 50 states in the United States?
Did you know vanilla is America’s favorite ice cream and cheddar is America’s favorite cheese?
Did you know there are more than 1000 new dairy products are introduced every year?
