Remember a few days ago when the boss and I found a bale board over on Route 20 in Schoharie County?
Imagine my delight the other night when the artist and author of our bale called and we discovered that it was none other than our longtime friend and former milk tester Ann Diefendorf. Ann is still testing a large number of herds in the area.
We always enjoyed her visits back when we were milking cows and "on test", milk testing being a terrific tool for measuring cows' output, components, and udder health. And my very favorite hat is a soft green Vermont DHIA one that I received at a meeting Ann and her husband, Tim, sponsored for local producers. I'ma gonna hate it when that one expires.
Anyhow, Ann painted the bale board at McFadden's, as well as a number of others, which she distributed around the area. There is another bale at RTE 20 Sharon hill, and a third at Eric Manchester Farm on Rte 7 next to the Cobleskill -Richmondville high school. There is also a banner and the truck sign below. Ann sent me a couple of her photos and allowed me to share them with you.
Mad props to Ann for working so hard for dairy promotion and to all involved in the campaign to get whole milk back in schools. A plethora of studies have shown that whole milk enhances a healthy diet even more than its low fat neighbors, and certainly a heckuva lot more than nut juices and sugary drinks.
Also kudos to moms and dads who know that whole milk is best for kids and grown ups alike and who serve and enjoy it often.
