June Dairy Month Highlights Graettinger Economy
Graettinger marks June as Dairy Month noting the dairy industry’s strong role in the local economy despite fewer dairy farmers. The town’s creamery draws milk from a wide area, and local firms salute dairy farmers with newspaper ads. Also a Small World item references a misread Palo Alto license plate and a humorous quip about health and aging.
