Earth Day is Everyday

Everyday is Earth Day down on the dairy farm. 

We celebrate Earth Day by how we provide everyday care

 for the land by utilizing science and best management

 practices that make economic sense, help the environment

  and are socially responsible to our community.

Everything we do makes a difference  such as:

protecting air quality by following proper manure storage practices,

recycling manure to fertilize crop and pasture land,

growing crops with recycled manure that builds the

organic materials in the soil and improves water retention,

and

reducing the carbon footprint of milk by 63 percent due to 

improvements in animal feeding,animal health programs

and overall farm management practices.

                                             
                                                           When you get right down to it,
                                                      we celebrate Earth Day Everyday,
                                                            for the next generation.
                                                             

Happy Earth Day Everyday!

Dairy Farmer's Rain Dance

 

We've waited all winter for this spring wheat crop to start growing and now with a few warm spring days you can  see it changing almost daily. It's our kind of excitement!

 

 

Field crops need nutrients to grow so  Casey spread a measured amount of commercial fertilizer over several fields today. With moisture and more growing days, this wheat will be chopped or baled for our dairy cows to enjoy as part of their balanced diet that provides high-quality milk.

 

 Just so you know,

the dairy farmer's rain dance is done with a tractor and a fertilizer spreader!
