I knew that the 2009 Miss America, Katie Stam was a gem! After writing about her in AgWired for her support of 4-H and community service, it’s in the news that this dynamic woman is now a spokesperson for the dairy industry! According to Indy’s News Center, Indiana’s first Miss America, Katie Stamm, is the new celebrity spokesperson for the American Dairy Association. What a great face for America’s milk producers!

Stamm recently completed a photo shoot for the ADA’s new image campaign in Indianapolis on Monday. She grew up on a family dairy farm in Jackson County and showed dairy cattle in 4-H.

Stamm said it was always a goal of hers to do what she could to help the farming community. Now as Miss America, she says she’s come full circle, promoting dairy products at appearances for the American Dairy Association around the state and across the U.S. Stamm will be in Indiana for a few more days, crowning a new Miss Indiana on Saturday before leaving for more appearances in Colorado and California.
