WHY:              New York State has nearly 3,000 dairy farms that produce over 16 billion pounds of milk annually, making New York the nation’s fifth-largest dairy state. The dairy industry is the state’s largest agricultural sector, contributing significantly to the state’s economy by generating nearly half of the state’s total agricultural receipts and providing some of the highest economic multipliers.

First launched in 2024 at the Great New York State Fair, the Mobile Dairy Experience showcases the journey of dairy products, beginning with how cows are cared for on the farm. The Mobile Dairy Experience has traveled over 10,000 miles and greeted tens of thousands of visitors from Queens to Watertown and from Buffalo to Saratoga, all while sharing the positive story of New York dairy farming.
