Families Visit Dairy Operation to Discover Where their Milk Comes From

7/12/2014

Dave Ferguson hosted an open house at the Ferguson farm on Saturday, providing local residents with a chance to learn first-hand about a modern dairy operation. The educational opportunity (as well as some kid-friendly activities and free ice-cream) attracted a steady stream of families for tours of the farm just north of St. Thomas.


The open house was organized by the Elgin Dairy Committee and several local dairy farmers were on hand to help with the tours and answer questions.  The robotic milk machine where cows come on their own schedule for fully automatic milking was one highlight of the farm which elicited lots of curiosity and questions.
