Study shows dairy farms contributed $63 billion to California economy in 2008.
"That's more than the wine industry or the movie and television industry's impact on the state," said Stan Andre, chief executive officer of the California Milk Advisory Board.
A total of about 35,000 people are directly employed by dairies in the state, which totaled about 1,900 in California in 2008, Andre said.
"The really nice thing is that throughout the rest of the supply chain, there were another 408,500 jobs," he said. That's about 3 percent of the jobs in the state that are directly related to the dairy business, Andre added.
