Cosponsor the Whole Milk for Healthy Kids Act (H.R. 649 and S.222)
Expand Students’ Access to Essential Nutrients
The Whole Milk for Healthy Kids Act would provide schools with the choice to serve whole and reduced fat (2%) unflavored and flavored milk in addition to the low-fat (1%) and fatfree varieties currently allowed in the school lunch program. The bill also exempts whole and 2% milk from the saturated fat limit set for school meals but not the overall caloric limit.
State of Play
The Whole Milk for Healthy Kids Act has been introduced in the House by Representatives GT Thompson (R-PA) and Kim Schrier (D-WA) as H.R. 649 and in the Senate by Senators Roger Marshall (R-KS), Peter Welch (D-VT), Dave McCormick (R-PA), and John Fetterman (D-PA) as S. 222 . The House Education & Workforce Committee passed the bill by a bipartisan vote of 24-10, and it now awaits floor action. The Whole Milk for Healthy Kids Act has historically had bipartisan support, passing the House in 2023 on a bipartisan vote of 330-90.
Why Whole Milk
In 2012, the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act, which was passed in 2010, was implemented. As part of this Act, school meal standards must align with the Dietary Guidelines for Americans (DGAs). The DGAs only recommend consumption of fatfree and 1% milk . Because of this, whole milk and 2% were removed from school meal programs. However, since that time, consumption of milk in schools has declined significantly.
This is a public health concern because milk is a nutrition powerhouse that provides kids with 13 essential nutrients, including three of the four nutrients of public health concern. Unfortunately, the Scientific Report issued by the 2025 Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee notes that only 12 percent of all individuals are meeting or exceeding recommended amounts of dairy consumption. In other words, 88 percent of individuals are underconsuming dairy.
Supporting Points
• Newer science has shown that whole fat dairy products have neutral or positive health benefits. Total dairy consumption regardless of fat level is linked to neutral or lower risk of cardiovascular disease risk in children and adults. Dairy’s “food matrix, defined as the nutrient and nonnutrient components of foods and their molecular relationships (chemical bonds) to each other … may help explain why SF from whole- and reduced-fat dairy foods does not have the same physiological effects as non-dairy sources of SF.
• Whole and 2% milk are the most consumed varieties in households in the United States. Serving whole and 2% milk in schools gives students access to what they are used to drinking at home, making them more likely to take the milk and consume the 13 essential nutrients it provides. This increases the nutrients students are getting and decreases waste coming from school meals.
• The Scientific Report of the 2025 Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee found, in looking at cardiovascular disease risk from sources of saturated fat, that consumption of higher-fat dairy milk compared to lower-fat dairy milk by younger children may be associated with favorable growth and body composition, and lower risk of obesity during childhood.
• The report also states regarding dairy- “although the emphasis has been on calcium and vitamin D, a combination of multiple nutrients (energy, protein, calcium, phosphorous, magnesium, zinc, and vitamin A) is critical for children’s bone health.” Allowing schools to offer whole and 2% milk at lunch provides kids with the option to choose the milk they are most familiar with and take in those vital nutrients that are so important for bone health.
• Whole milk is more satiating than fat-free and 1% keeping kids fuller, longer allowing them to focus more on learning than on being hungry.
• Nutrition science also demonstrates the unique value of consuming dairy foods. Milk, including whole milk, is a source of thirteen essential nutrients and is the top source of nine of these nutrients for children ages 2-18.
Labor Reform Needed to Sustain Production and Ensure Food Security
Agricultural Labor Reform Is Critical to the Future of America’s Dairy Industry
AMERICAN DAIRY FARMERS NEED A STABLE, LEGAL WORKFORCE TO CONTINUE FEEDING THE NATION.
The Problem
Unlike seasonal crops, dairy farming is a 24/7, 365-day-a-year responsibility. Cows must be milked and cared for daily, without interruption. To meet this demand, dairy farmers offer competitive wages and prioritize hiring locally but continue to face a critical shortage of domestic labor.
As a result, America’s dairy sector relies heavily on foreign-born
workers to ensure the health of their herds and the availability of affordable dairy products for consumers. Without these essential workers, animal care and milk production suffer—driving up food prices and threatening the longterm viability of family-run farms.
Unfortunately, the only existing visa pathway for agricultural labor— the H-2A program—excludes the dairy industry, as it is designed solely for temporary or seasonal jobs.
This outdated restriction leaves dairy farmers without a legal means to hire the year-round labor their operations require, exacerbating labor shortages and creating uncertainty in the food supply chain.
What Can Congress Do?
The Solution
American dairy farmers need a stable, legal workforce to continue feeding the nation. We urge Congress to ensure the future of U.S. dairy by:
Passing
legislation that modernizes the H-2A program to include year-round agricultural jobs.
Providing legal status for current agricultural workers who are vital to dairy farm operations.
Avoiding onesize-fits-all quotas or mandates that do not reflect the diversity of America’s dairy farms.
Supporting bipartisan efforts
like the ALWG’s policy roadmap and H.R. 3227 to drive durable, effective labor reform.
To meet labor demands and stabilize the nation’s dairy sector, Congress must act to modernize our agricultural workforce policy. This includes:
• Reforming the H-2A visa program to make it usable for year-round industries like dairy.
• Protecting current foreign-born workers and their immediate families by providing a pathway to legal status.
• Expanding access to a legal, reliable workforce without restrictive hiring caps or quotas that fail to reflect the scale and diversity of U.S. dairy farms— from small family dairies to large commercial operations.
• Avoiding unworkable mandates that would impose additional financial and logistical burdens on dairy farmers who already face tight margins and global competition.
Without legislative action, the U.S. dairy industry cannot maintain the workforce needed to sustain milk production, protect animal welfare, and keep nutritious, affordable dairy products on American tables.
Recent Work
The House Agriculture Committee, led by Chairman G.T. Thompson (R-PA), created the Agricultural Labor Working Group (ALWG)
in June 2023 to explore solutions to the national farm labor crisis. After months of stakeholder engagement and bipartisan collaboration, the ALWG released a March 2024 report recommending 21 actionable, bipartisan policy proposals. These recommendations lay critical groundwork for legislative reform.
Further momentum comes from the Farm Workforce Modernization Act, reintroduced as H.R. 3227 in May 2025. This bipartisan bill— led by Reps. Dan Newhouse (R-WA), Mike Simpson (R-ID), David Valadao (R-CA), Zoe Lofgren (D-CA), Jim Costa (D-CA), and Adam Gray (D-CA)—continues the important conversation on fixing our broken ag labor system. It acknowledges the unique needs of dairy producers and reflects growing bipartisan consensus on the need for action.
U.S. Dairy Needs Fair Trade to Compete and Thrive
Fair Trade Policy Is Critical to the Success of America’s Dairy Farmers
AMERICA’S FARMERS RISK LOSING GLOBAL MARKET SHARE TO COMPETITORS WHO ARE OUTNEGOTIATING US ON THE WORLD STAGE.
The Problem
International trade plays a vital role in the health of America’s dairy industry, supporting jobs, rural communities and the U.S. economy. In 2024 alone, the U.S. dairy industry exported over $8 billion worth of dairy products—equivalent to 17% of total U.S. milk production—with Mexico receiving more than 30% of these exports. However, America’s dairy exporters face growing challenges in the global marketplace. Competitor nations such as the European Union and New Zealand continue to outpace the U.S. by securing favorable trade agreements with key dairy-importing countries, placing American dairy producers at a competitive disadvantage. U.S. dairy exporters face high tariffs as well as unjustified non-tariff barriers, such as unscientific health standards, labeling restrictions on common food names like “parmesan”
and “feta,” and slow or discriminatory facility approvals.
The European Union, in particular, has created a nearly $3 billion dairy trade deficit with the U.S. through an expanding web of protectionist policies. Worse still, the EU attempts to impose its regulatory agenda—including on-farm practices—on global partners as a condition for market access, threatening U.S. sovereignty and farmers' competitiveness.
The U.S. has tools to use to tackle this— such as the Trump Administration’s “Fair and Reciprocal Trade” policy. To have the desired impacts, these tools must be strategically deployed to create real gains in dairy market access. U.S. trade efforts have stalled in recent years, and unless addressed, the continued erosion of dairy competitiveness will hurt producers, processors, and consumers alike.
$8B worth of dairy products exported in 2024 alone.
THE REASSERTION OF U.S. LEADERSHIP ON TRADE CAN UNLOCK NEW OPPORTUNITIES FOR AMERICA’S DAIRY INDUSTRY AND RURAL ECONOMY. What
Congress and the current administration must prioritize dairy in ongoing and future trade talks.
We urge policymakers to support dairy’s future by:
Supporting targeted trade negotiations
that eliminate tariff and non-tariff barriers in top-priority dairy markets including the UK, EU, Taiwan, Vietnam, Southeast Asia, India and Canada.
Holding trading partners accountable
by ensuring enforcement of existing trade commitments, particularly under USMCA.
Encouraging strategic use of tariffs
to leverage market access in places where barriers persist such as the EU, while maintaining stable trade ties with key allies like Mexico.
