June is dairy month and there is no bigger time for the St. Louis Dairy Council than right now. Dairy is an integral part of one's diet and could be the difference in meeting your daily nutritional goals. Kelsy Bentlage, a registered dietitian and a Nutritional Educator for the St. Louis Dairy Council came on the WTIM Morning Show to talk about dairy month, new events and the nutritional value of dairy products.

Dairy month helps recognize and remember the great service that dairy farmers provide. The St. Louis Dairy Council helps in this effort by educating the 98% of the population that has no connection to the farming lifestyle.

The mobile dairy classroom will show a live milking and handling of a cow named "Louis" to show the exact process that goes into stocking the shelves. Bentlage describes the farm to food experience. 

The health benefits that dairy can bring are immense. 13 of our required daily nutrients can be obtained from dairy products. Louis the cow is not the only diary on the go as Kelsey Bentlage describes that there are dairy products you can have anytime.
