From Farm to Table: Milk’s Journey

On a beautiful fall day in September, I was fortunate to be able to learn about dairy farming. Not only was I able to visit Lindale Holsteins to see the cows being milked, but I was also able to take a tour of the Dean’s processing plant in Huntley, Illinois. I learned a lot about milk!
