This display will show how farmers processed milk in the past and present. There is a display of a variety of old milking equipment, a mock milking area, a milk house where the milk was cooled and utensils were cleaned. There will be a demonstrations showing that the milking of the cows doesn’t hurt them! Cows eat corn and other grains grown/processed on the farm. Also, students will be able to see a beautifully restored milk wagon that was used to deliver milk right to people’s homes. A volunteer will be there to explain how and why these things were used. Michigan State University Extension will discuss/show  EVERYTHING MILK from the cows to you! This station is for everyone of all ages!
