The Missouri Department of Agriculture marked National Dairy Month last Thursday at a brief ceremony hosted by Salt Creek Dairy in Osage County. The farm is owned by sixth-generation farmer and current chairman of the State Milk Board, Alfred Brandt.
Brandt says Dairy Month is a chance to continue the industry’s legacy, especially by consumers buying a dairy product.
Thursday’s ceremony in Osage County included a proclamation from Missouri Governor Mike Parson that was presented by first lady Teresa Parson.
