And the winner is . . .

by Progressive Dairyman Assistant Editor Ryan Curtis

We want to give a special thanks to Janelle Thorpe of Twin Falls, Idaho, for her winning contribution to the T-shirt design contest. She will receive a ceramic Proud to Dairy mug.

We had some very creative ideas and welcome all to go to proudtodairy.com and check out all the submissions.

As of June 1, the shirts had a combined total of 239 views. The winning shirt had an average vote of 4.5 out of 5 stars. The winning shirt design will be in our online store and will be offered at a 10 percent discount, as well as everything else in our store in honor of June Dairy Month. Check it out!

Speaking of June Dairy Month, we have had the California Dairy Princesses share what they are doing to help the dairy industry, especially during June Dairy Month. We invite everyone to come read what they are doing, and we encourage all the other states to share what they are doing to help the dairy industry in June. It’s easy. First become a member, then click “Add a blog post.” We would love to hear what is going on in your state!

Be proud to dairy! Join our community and talk with other producers around the country and in other countries.

We have added three more states with membership representation, totaling 29 states. Canada now has as many members as New York and Ohio (6). Pennsylvania is still the top dog with 32 members, but Wisconsin has closed the gap to 13 by adding seven new members since last issue. PD
