Students have fun while making butter as part of the dairy unit of the summer AEOTM series. Students learn the important journey of milk once it leaves the farm, and how livestock is a top priority for farm families 365 days a year. Participants also learn about:

  • Milk and its nine essential nutrients

  • Life cycle of a dairy cow

  • What cows eat

  • How cows are milked

  • How technology allows farmers to be more efficient

  • Dairy products that help aide in strong bones and teeth
