In South Dakota, milk is more than just a drink—it’s a way of life. Officially named the state drink in 1986, milk represents generations of farm families, 4‑H kids showing their first dairy heifer, and the backbone of a growing agricultural economy.
In this episode we take a deep dive into the white gold that built rural communities and still fills school lunch trays from Milbank to Sioux Falls. You’ll hear how the dairy industry has rebounded with innovation and grit, and how programs like 4‑H Dairy Cattle Projects are shaping the next generation of agricultural leaders.
We’ll also pour in stories from family-run farms, local dairies, and nutrition advocates keeping milk at the center of South Dakota values—hard work, nourishment, and community. Whether it’s fresh from the barn or chilled in a carton, milk continues to nourish more than just bodies—it nourishes the spirit of the state.
