June is Diary Month and Pillar Bank’s Mike DeLong joins us to tell us about the history of this celebration of dairy production. He also outlines the numerous local commemorations including famed “dairy breakfasts” that go on in many towns.
So why exactly is Ag important? Its 35% of Pillar’s loan portfolio and is the foundation of many of the communities the bank has a presence in. While food is essential to us all, with most of the population living in urban locations our understanding about food sourcing gets lost and June Dairy Month helps to educate.
