Celebrating Nat'l Ag Day With Milk

Today is National Ag Day! We're proud we get to get up and milk our cows everyday and provide wholesome nutritious dairy products for people to enjoy.

 Not everyone can have the opportunity to grow up on a farm and we want to make the most of it. To quote a phrase from our area dairy organization,  SUDIA, we are dedicated to dairy; our cows, our milk, and our land. And there's no better day to celebrate that than today!



So pour yourself a glass of milk, make a bowl of ice cream, or a slice yourself some cheese and toast the joy of dairy farmers on Ag Day!

Dairy Farmers Sharing Their Story

I've always thought it was important for farmers to share their stories and their love of their livelihood. As more and more people grow up and never get a chance to visit a farm or talk to a farmer it even more important for those stories to be told.

The great folks over at SUDIA put together a few videos as part of their Dedicated to Dairy program.  The best part about it is that the videos are "just let the film roll and let the farmers talk" with scenes of farm life mixed in. You get to hear them speak from the heart and talk about the pride they have in what they do.

You can find more at their videos page. The one below is from my friend, Mac, one of the best dairy farmers I know.
