The Journey
We will be visiting 2 dairy farms; The New Flavo and DenningSon's Farm. During the journey, we will learn about their parlors: advantages and disadvantages. Also, how their farms are run, and any other unique qualities.
The day will start off with everyone meeting at the Poling's house at 9:30. We will then travel to The New Flavo, where we will eat lunch. Our journey will end at Steve Denning's farm.
