June is Dairy Month, and we're recognizing the farmers, processors, and partners who make Michigan's dairy industry the cream of the crop.​

Today we're celebrating some of our own. Behind every glass of Michigan milk is a dedicated team of inspectors working hard to ensure the highest safety standards.​

From the farm to your table, MDARD inspectors help Michigan milk producers deliver the dairy best!

We’re crop-timistic about the future of agricultural science!​

This week, MDARD’s Geagley Laboratory hosted its first-ever career day for high school and college students. ​

Our student visitors got a first-hand look at MDARD’s chemistry, microbiology, motor fuel quality, pesticide and plant pathology labs. They also met with the MDARD experts who work every day to safeguard Michigan’s food supply and protect drivers at the gas pump. ​

“We’d like students to know that MDARD can be a resource and a source of opportunities as they navigate their careers in science,” said MDARD Microbiologist Dina Weston. “We have people with a lot of different majors, backgrounds, and career paths and we want students to know there is no right or wrong way to get here.”
