June is Dairy month! 97% of milk in our Arizona grocery stores comes from our local Arizona dairies where the cows make the freshest milk, cheese, and yogurt. A dairy cow will produce 7 to 8 gallons of milk every day.

Look at Labels for products with “Milk” in the title: Dairy milk’s ingredient list is short —milk, vitamins A, and D. Non-dairy ingredient lists can be much longer and have 10 or more additives. Choose dairy milk, it’s real milk.

Need more fiber in your diet? Eat Arizona Pistachios or Pecans! A one-ounce serving provides 10% of the Daily Recommended Intake for fiber. Arizona farm families grow these healthy, tasty tree nuts.

Arizona farmers grow more food and fiber with less – less land, less labor, less water, less soil erosion, less energy use, less greenhouse gas emissions – but with more efficiency and safety. Arizona farmers do more using fewer resources!

Regions of Arizona represent different agriculture water issues. What is Maricopa County’s water issue is not Yavapai County’s? But one thing is common, Arizona’s farmers and ranchers get more crop per drop to grow the food we love.
