We are excited to share The Dairy Alliance has secured funding from the Natural Resources Conservation (NRCS) Technical Assistance Funding to support sustainability efforts on Georgia dairy farms. In collaboration with Georgia Milk Producers and Newtrient LLC, we're providing conservation planning and technical assistance to 10 diverse dairy producers. This initiative aims to produce the Georgia Dairy Smart Roadmap by 2025, outlining technologies and practices for all Georgia dairy producers, serving as a model for the Southeast. This will accelerate progress towards: 1. Achieving greenhouse gas neutrality 2. Optimizing water use and recycling 3. Improving water quality Georgia farmers face challenges from extreme weather to environmental scrutiny, all while operating on tight margins. We appreciate NRCS for their support and look forward to what's to come! https://lnkd.in/e2rpFQQ7 #TheDairyAlliance #NRCS #Sustainability #Grant #Funding #Environment #DairyFarmers #Georgia

Did you know an 8 oz glass of low-fat milk contains 8g of high-quality protein? This natural source of casein and whey proteins provides essential amino acids needed for muscle growth and overall health. Studies show that consuming milk protein after exercise supports muscle synthesis, promoting strength and recovery. Beyond muscles, protein is vital for maintaining healthy hair, bones, and teeth. It also makes you feel fuller for longer and helps you maintain healthy levels of energy and focus. Make milk a part of your daily routine to help build a stronger, healthier you. #ChooseMilk #TheDairyAlliance #Performance #DairyMilk #SportsNutrition #Protein

Join The Dairy Alliance in raising a glass of dairy milk to celebrate National Dairy Month. With nearly 75% of Americans chronically dehydrated, research shows dairy milk is one of the best beverages for hydration, outperforming water and sports drinks. Dairy milk is packed with 13 essential nutrients that hydrate and replenish muscles and support immune health and strong bones. Originally established as "National Milk Month" in 1939 by grocer organizations to boost dairy consumption, the celebration evolved into National Dairy Month by 1955. Today, it champions milk and dairy as a natural, nutrient-rich fuel for athletic performance. Let's toast to dairy this June! https://lnkd.in/gvkhqX4X #TheDairyAlliance #DairyFarmers #DairyIndustry
