(KLZA) June is dairy month, and thanks to Nebraska’s hardworking dairy farmers and families, the state is home to more than 55,000 dairy cows. Nebraska’s dairy industry produced 139 million gallons of milk last year and was able to provide Nebraska families with a number of nutritious dairy products, including milk, cheese, yogurt and much more.
One single dairy cow has an estimated economic impact of $5,000 per year on Nebraska communities.
There are presently 195 dairy farms in Nebraska that are producing milk for consumers located in the state, across the U.S., and around the world. On average, a dairy cow can produce 7 gallons of milk a day, which ends up being 2,508 gallons in a typical year.
