TRACY, Calif. — April 5, 2017 —Dairy producer Dante Migliazzo of Atwater in Merced

County has been re-elected to serve as Chairman to the Executive Committee of the California

Milk Advisory Board (CMAB), the promotional arm of the state's dairy farmers.

Migliazzo currently milks 750 registered Holsteins with his brother Dino at the 250-acre

Merced Ranch that his parents Larry and Irene Migliazzo started in 1967. He received his BS

Degree from Cal Poly-San Luis Obispo in Agricultural Business in 1988. He is a member of a

California is the nation’s leading milk producer. It also produces more butter and nonfat

products made with Real California milk can be identified by the Real California Milk or Real

California Cheese seal, which certifies that the products are made exclusively with milk

produced on California dairy farms.
