The 2025 Senate Joint Resolution 63, introduced on June 2, 2025, aims to officially proclaim June as Dairy Month in Wisconsin. This resolution highlights the significant role that the dairy industry has played in the state's agricultural heritage since the 1840s, when dairy farmers migrated from New York to establish Wisconsin as a leading dairy producer. It acknowledges the historical milestones in the industry, such as the founding of the Wisconsin Dairymen's Association in 1872 and the development of butterfat testing by Stephen Babcock, which set quality standards and influenced milk pricing.

The resolution emphasizes the current impact of the dairy industry on Wisconsin's economy, noting that it contributes approximately $45.6 billion annually and is home to over 1.28 million cows across nearly 6,000 dairy farms. Wisconsin cheesemakers are recognized for producing over 600 varieties of cheese, accounting for more than a quarter of the nation's cheese production. By proclaiming June as Dairy Month, the legislature aims to honor the dedication of Wisconsin's dairy farmers and their contributions to the state's identity and success.
