I’m asking all dairy farmers,
regardless of your affiliation, to
call your United States senator and
congressmen and urge them to
support the efforts of the National
Dairy Campaign.
Let your elected officials know
how it really is down on the farm.
Any senator or congressman can
be reached by calling the capital
switchboard at (202) 224-3121.
Also, call the following people,
Sen. Leahy’s ag committee at
(202) 224-5207; Congressman
Hamed Volkmer, chairman of the
House Committee on Dairy at
(202) 225-1867; U.S. Secretary of
Agriculture Mike Esby at (202)
720-3631.
This movement of dairy farmers
will be the greatest grassroots
effort ever made by dairymen.
Dairy farmers will be the ones that
will make the change. Push the
lame excuses aside that you have
given and, in their place, pledge a
united effort by all dairy farmers.
