The dairy industry is making a last-minute push to get more support for the Whole Milk for Healthy Kids bill in the U.S. House.
Laurie Fischer with the American Dairy Coalition tells Brownfield House Ag Chair Glenn GT Thompson has been putting a lot of effort into the bill, which would reverse the school dietary guidelines from the Obama administration and allow whole and 2% milk back into school meal programs. Fischer says farmers and allied industry leaders should call and email their representatives now, since a vote could happen as early as Wednesday.
