ST. LOUIS, MO — June is Dairy Month and the perfect time to say thank you to our local dairy farmers for the nutritious and delicious milk and other products they produce.

Nutrition Educator and Registered Dietitian Kelsey Bentlage with the St. Louis District Dairy Council was a recent guest on the Southern Illinois Insider with WMIX. She says the Dairy Council is providing new educational tools for youth as well as adults to learn more about the benefits of dairy in your diet and what local dairy farmers provide to us.

If you’d like to schedule the mobile dairy classroom and have Louise, the cow visit your school in southern Illinois next school year; contact the St. Louis Dairy Council by visiting stldairycouncil.org for more information.
