North Dakota Dairy Princess
The North Dakota Dairy Princess program is the longest-running one in the United States, initiated in 1946. In 2006, the program celebrated its 60th year! The princess, who serves as a goodwill ambassador for the state's dairy farmers, makes media appearances, talks with children about being healthy through consuming dairy products every day, and visits with consumers in various settings to help them understand the dedication of North Dakota's dairy farmers to wholesome and delicious dairy products, and their commitment to the land and their animals.
