Friday Food Facts

We’re Yuma farmers. Along with other Yuma farmers, we’re producing so many wonderful fresh leafy greens, we’re helping supply 130 million servings to the U.S. and Canada every single day. Our favorite salads come from Yuma farms.

The U.S. supplies 25% of the world’s beef with 10% of the world’s cattle. Arizona’s ranchers are 5^th– and 6^th-generation ranch families, like mine. Put some steaks on the grill this weekend.

Arizona farms grow world-renowned wheat loved by international markets – Desert Durum! Italy loves our Desert Durum for pasta! If you sit down to a pasta dinner tonight, it’s probably from Arizona-grown wheat. Add some Arizona wine!

June is Dairy Month! 97% of milk in the grocery store comes from our local Arizona dairies where the cows make the freshest milk, cheese, and yogurt. A dairy cow will produce 7 gallons of milk every day.

Look at Labels for products with “Milk” in the title: Dairy milk’s ingredient list is short —milk, vitamins A and D. Non-dairy ingredient lists can be much longer and have 10 or more additives. Choose dairy milk, it’s real milk.
