Cornell produces milk movie
ITHACA, N.Y. - With Michael
Jackson promoting Pepsi and sexy
bellies pushing other competing
beverages, milk has stiff com
petition. Producers in New York
State, however, have $lO million of
their own money devoted to milk
promotion.
To help dairy farmers gain a
better understanding of the milk
promotion programs they are
funding, Cornell University has
produced a 16 mm color film,
“Milk and Money.”
Focusing on the New York Milk
Promotion program and how the
promotion funds are collected and
spent, the film includes numerous
interviews with dairy industry
leaders, graphics, excerpts from
print and broadcast ads and
promotion campaigns, and in
formation about milk promotion in
New York State. Although New
York’s program is featured, dairy
industry leaders throughout the
country may find that the film has
direct applications to their regions.
Written by Thomas R. Maloney,
a Cornell Cooperative Extension
agent in Cortland County, the film
is part of his requirements for his
