The first stop was Mr. Miller's Dairy Farm where the students got to see how cows were milked and even try it out on their own! They also got to pet and feed calves. There was one calf that was only 5 days old! They liked him because he had a heart on his forehead. :) They also got a special treat at the end- string cheese!
The second stop was the Hog Farm where students were able to see hogs, learn about combines and corn and their special treat there was a mini hot dog.
The last stop was the Potato Farm. Students learned about which potatoes grow on this farm as well as what happens to the potatoes after they get picked. They learned that Mrs. Gerry's in Albert Lea gets their potatoes from this farm! Their special treat was to take home a big sack of potatoes. Have any of you used yours yet? :) It was such a great day to be on the farm!
