Congratulations!

[FCA @fcagov]

We’re proud to announce the Senate confirmation of Glen R. Smith to serve as under secretary for rural development @USDA.

Glen served the Farm Credit Administration with distinction as board chairman & CEO and as a board member since 2017. His steady leadership strengthened the safety and soundness of the Farm Credit System while keeping a sharp focus on the credit needs of farmers, ranchers, and rural communities across America.

As a fifth-generation Iowa farmer and agribusiness leader, Glen brought real-world experience and a deep commitment to rural America to everything he did @FCAgov.

Congratulations, Glen! We’re confident you’ll bring the same dedication and insight to @USDArd.

As we celebrate the 250th anniversary of our nation’s founding, the Farm Credit Administration wishes everyone a safe and happy Independence Day.

The Whole Milk for Healthy Kids Act is a commonsense win for school nutrition and America’s dairy farmers. 🐄🇺🇸

It restores real choices kids actually enjoy and helps ensure the next generation grows up healthy and strong.

It’s more than a policy change. It’s a practical way to promote health nationwide, support our farmers, and help the next generation thrive.

Putting Farmers First.🥇
Making America Healthy Again. 🥛💪

Thank you to @CongressmanGT, @RogerMarshallMD, and so many others who made this bipartisan bill happen!

[Glenn "GT" Thompson @CongressmanGT]

Today the House overwhelmingly passed my Whole Milk for Healthy Kids Act to restore whole and 2% milk options in schools. Next stop: the President’s desk!

[IDFA @dairyidfa]

We want to thank and raise a glass (of milk!) to @RogerMarshallMD and @SenPeterWelch for your leadership in passing the Whole Milk for Healthy Kids Act early today! 🥛💪

The Senate-passed bill now needs to be passed by the full U.S. House of Representatives. Let's get this bill past the finish line.

Take action now👇

NEWS: The United States Senate has passed @CongressmanGT’s Whole Milk for Healthy Kids Act 🥛

[IDFA @dairyidfa]

The long wait is nearly over! We’re closer than ever to bringing whole milk back to schools!

Today’s Senate passage of the Whole Milk for Healthy Kids Act is a watershed moment for children’s health and for the dairy farmers, processors, parents, and nutrition advocates who have fought for decades to restore whole and 2% milk to school meals. Whole and 2% milk are wholesome, nutritious options that kids love, and today’s passage gets us one step closer to restoring them to American schools.

A huge thank you to Senator @RogerMarshallMD and @SenPeterWelch for their leadership on this issue!

Now time to help get this bill across the finish line in the House of Representatives and onto the President's desk! Take action now: https://t.co/iKPBuelaBW

This is udder-ly great news! Added sugars in flavored school milk have dropped by 60%.

Less sugar, same nutrients, and healthier futures for our kids. This is a huge moo-ve in the right direction to Make America Healthy Again 🥛🐄

[DFA @dfamilk]

Reducing added sugar and eliminating artificial colors in school milk isn’t new for us — it’s already a reality.

Today, we’re #DFAProud of the dairy industry’s dedication to America’s students and meeting the #HealthySchoolMilkCommitment.

🥛 fact – added sugar in flavored milk sold at schools has plummeted by nearly 60% since 2006. And we’re just getting started. 💪

We did it! Today, flavored milk served in schools across the country contains an average of 7.2 grams of added sugar per 8-ounce serving—with more nutrients and far less total sugar than most 100% juices. @SecKennedy @BrookeLRollins @HHSGov @USDA @US_FDA

✅ That’s right! Same 13 essential nutrients. Less sugar. Healthy kids. #Healthyschoolmilk

A beautiful day on the National Mall connecting with farmers, food producers, and federal partners at The Great American Farmers Market!

IDFA was proud to see our dairy community represented—from farmers and processors to retailers and suppliers—and connect with @SecRollins , FDA Commissioner @MartyMakary, and @USDA and @HHSGov staff about the important role dairy plays in nourishing families nationwide.

Special thanks to @Chobani for serving as a Presenting Sponsor of this celebration of American agriculture!

[Blue Bell Ice Cream @ILoveBlueBell]

Blue Bell is proud to be a part of the @dairyidfa commitment to eliminate certified artificial colors from our ice cream products by the end of 2027. We already offer many products that do not include certified artificial colors. (see list)

[HHS @HHSGov]

Happy National Ice Cream Day! Wishing you a scoop that's cold, delicious, and free of artificial dyes—just the way it should be! 🍦

[Secretary Kennedy @SecKennedy]

I applaud the International Dairy Foods Association for stepping up to eliminate certified artificial colors. The American people have made it clear—they want real food, not chemicals. Together with @SecRollins and @DrMakaryFDA, we’re holding the food industry accountable and driving a nationwide effort to Make America Healthy Again.

[Secretary Brooke Rollins @SecRollins]

Yesterday, from the steps of @USDA, @dairyidfa announced they will begin ELIMINATING artificial food dyes from their ice creams with the commitment to be dye-free by 2027.

We are Making America Healthy Again one step at a time!🍦🇺🇸
