HARRISBURG (Dauphin Co.)
Members of the Senate Agri
culture and Rural Affairs Commit
tee recently joined to promote
Dairy Month in Pennsylvania by
sporting “milk mustaches” like
those worn in the popular adver
tising campaign.
Participating in the promotion
were Sen. Noah Wenger (R-36),
committee chairman Sen. Daniel
S. Delp (R-28), Sen. Patrick Sta
pleton (D-41), Sen. John Wozniak
(D-35), and former Agriculture
Secretary Charles Brosius.
“On June 3, the Senate
approved a resolution recognizing
June as Dairy Month in the state,”
Wenger said. “Those of us on the
Agriculture Committee got
together with the dairy producers
and processors and decided to
celebrate the month and promote
the industry by wearing the ‘Got
Milk’ advertising campaign’s
mustaches. It’s a fun way to make
a serious point.”
Wenger explained that the dairy
business is crucial to Pennsylvan
Northeast DHIA Recognizes
Outstanding Quality Milk Award Wi
ITHACA, N.Y. This year,
through the Somatic Cell Pro
gram, Northeast DHIA is recog
nizing its members whose herds
maintained an overall average of
175,000 cells or less by presenting
them with the Outstanding Quality
Milk Award.
Somatic cells arc white blood
cells and milk secreting cells
normally found in milk. However,
the healthier the herd’s udders are,
the lower the average cell count
will be.
Careful milking procedures,
. good milking equipment mainten
ance and excellent herd manage
ment all contribute to a herd’s low
somatic count. Not only does a
herd with a low somatic cell count
include healthier cows and there
fore produce more milk, but they
set a standard of excellence for the
entire dairy industry. Milk with
lower somatic cell counts has a
longer shelf like, and results in
higher yields of cultured products.
Winners are presented with a
bam sign and a year sticker the
first year that they win the award
and those who have won previous
years are given a year sticker to
add to that sign indicating another
year of excellence.
Out of the approximately 3,900
members that Northeast DHIA
serves, 291 were honored with the
Outstanding Quality Milk award.
Northeast DHIA congratulates
them and wishes them continued
success for 1997.

Senate Ag Committee Promotes Milk
ia’s economy because it makes up
the largest part of the Common
wealth’s number-one industry
agriculture.
He said the dairy industry
accounts for $1.5 billion in farm
income each year, or 38 percent of
Pennsylvania’s agricultural
income. In addition, Pennsylvani
a’s dairy industry makes up nearly
7 percent of the total milk produc
tion in the United States. Wenger
added that there are 11,000 dairy
farms, 39 manufacturers of dairy
products, 33 fluid milk processors,
and 26 milk producer dealers who
make up the industry in
Pennsylvania.
“Wearing the ‘milk mustache’
is a great way to promote a great
Pennsylvania product,” said
Wenger.
In addition, the senator said,
Pennsylvanians each year drink
more than 2SO million gallons of
milk the state’s “official
beverage.”
“Drinking milk is a healthy
habit that also supports our local
economy,” Wenger said.
