IDFA members from across the dairy industry were in town this week advocating for dairy's top priorities, including the Whole Milk for Healthy Kids Act––a bill that would restore whole and 2% milk back in schools. We caught up with our champions Sens. Roger Marshall and Peter Welch who sponsored and led the bill to passage in the Senate last month. We also met with House Ag Chairman Glenn "GT" Thompson, the lead for the bill in the House. Join IDFA members in advocating for this important legislation at idfa.org/advocate. Together, we can get this bill passed in the House this month! 💪 🥛 @RogerMarshallMD , @SenPeterWelch , @WelchForVT , @CongressmanGT , @MichiganMilk
