WALLINGTON, NJ Every
day, thousands of New York City
residents start their morning with
milk on their breakfast table.
Every day, those same consumers
read the words and designs on
their milk container.
For Farmland Dairies of Wel
lington, NJ, the side panel of their
container will help spread the
word regarding the 1990 Census
Project.
“For over 70 years, Farmland
has produced quality dairy pro
ducts. We were responsible for
opening competition in the New
York milk market. It’s because of
this dedication to New York that
results in our participation in the
1990 Census Project,” said Mare
Goldman, president of Farmland.
“Farmland recognizes the
importance of the project by fea
turing census information on our
carton’s side panel. We hope that,
after seeing this message every
day, residents of New York City
will realize that by participating in

Goldman said.
The 1990 Census Project seeks
to encourage and motivate tradi
tionally undercounted residents,
as well as the general population
in New York City, to participate in
the 1990 Census.
The Office of the Mayor’s 1990
Census Project has launched a
multilingual and multiethnic out
reach effort to educate all New
Yorkers on the importance of par
ticipating in the census.
Farmland Dairies has learned
that, because many residents do
not participate in the project, an
undercount will result in the loss
of millions of dollars in federal aid
and the loss of political represen
tation in congress and the state
legislature. The results of the 1990
Census will help determine the
city’s economic future for the next
10 years.
