“Hunger and poor nutrition are serious issues in this country, and we support USDA in helping to provide nutrient-rich milk for those in need,” says John Wilson, senior vice president and chief fluid marketing officer, Dairy Farmers of America.
Wilson adds, “This purchase will offer a great benefit for those that struggle with hunger and malnutrition today. We appreciate USDA acknowledging the important part milk plays in a healthy diet and partnering with the dairy industry in getting milk to those in need across the country.”
USDA has been a great partner to U.S. agriculture and those individuals struggling with food insecurity – helping ensure a safe, reliable food supply and promoting the Dietary Guidelines, which highlight healthy eating habits and the daily consumption of dairy.
