H.R. No. 2002
 
 
 
R E S O L U T I O N
         WHEREAS, June 2022 has been designated National Dairy Month,
  and this observance provides a welcome opportunity to celebrate the
  noteworthy efforts of dairy farmers, while also encouraging
  families to make dairy products a part of their balanced diet; and
         WHEREAS, Established as National Milk Month in 1937, it
  evolved into National Dairy Month to annually recognize the
  important role dairy farming plays in the agricultural sector of
  the United States economy and its role in providing a valuable
  source of nutrition to the American public; and
         WHEREAS, The Lone Star State is home to approximately 350
  dairies and over half a million exceptional cows, with the largest
  number of dairy cows concentrated in the Panhandle; the care of
  dairy cows is an important part of successful dairy farming; dairy
  farmers know that healthy, happy cows produce more high-quality
  milk, so the animals' well-being is top priority; and
         WHEREAS, With the best animal husbandry practices utilized by
  Texas dairy farmers, we see dairy production flourish; together,
  milk production and processing add billions of dollars to the Texas
  economy and continue to grow and generate employment, creating
  around 213,000 jobs across the state; dairy products represent one
  of the most important commodities in the agricultural sector and
  are crucial to the continued vibrancy of the Texas and national
  economies; and
         WHEREAS, Whether it's a glass of milk, cheese on your pizza,
  or a big scoop of ice cream on a hot summer day, dairy products are a
  nutrient-rich staple of the American diet; from calcium to
  potassium, dairy products like pasteurized milk contain nine
  essential nutrients which may help to better manage weight and
  reduce the risk of high blood pressure, osteoporosis, and certain
  cancers; from protein to help build and repair the muscle tissue of
  active bodies to vitamin A to help maintain healthy skin, dairy
  products are great sources of protein, calcium, and vitamins for
  people in all walks of life, especially children and senior adults;
  now, therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 87th Texas
  Legislature hereby commemorate National Dairy Month 2022 and extend
  to Texas dairy farmers sincere appreciation for their important and
  invaluable work.
