New York State Agriculture Commissioner Richard A. Ball today, on World Milk Day, kicked off Dairy Month at Castleton Elementary School in Castleton-on-Hudson for the first event in the Department's annual Dairy Education Days series. As part of a collaboration with American Dairy Association North East (ADANE), the series brings members of the Department to elementary school classrooms across the state to help kids learn about New York's dairy community. Today's classroom reading comes on the first day of Dairy Month and is part of the Department's monthlong celebration of the dairy industry, which is the largest segment of New York's agricultural sector.
