More milk, fewer emissions. 🌿🥛 New research shows U.S. dairy farmers increased milk production by 28% from 2007 to 2020 — while cutting greenhouse gas emissions per gallon by 13%! Backed by science and driven by dedication, dairy is delivering more with less. This progress proves what’s possible when innovation meets sustainability.

Farmers are improving feed efficiency, reducing methane, and optimizing manure management. With growing consumer demand and evolving environmental expectations, U.S. dairy continues to lead with data, progress, and a commitment to a sustainable future.

This , we’re celebrating the hardworking Oregon dairy farmers behind every gallon. Their commitment to sustainability, animal care, and quality milk shines through in every glass. And they’re part of a global community—dairy farmers around the world share the same dedication to nourishing families and caring for the planet.

Did you know milk has been Oregon’s official state beverage since 1997? It all began in the 1990s, when a group of sixth-grade students from Tillamook, Oregon, successfully lobbied the state legislature to make it official.

Milk production and the manufacture of dairy products are major contributors to the economic well-being of Oregon agriculture with over 306 million gallons of milk produced each year and bringing over 700 million dollars as Oregon’s 4th top producing commodity.

Today, raise a glass of milk to the people and practices making dairy better for everyone! Check out our Oregon Milk Facts here: https://ordairy.org/oregonmilkfactsheet
