The dairy
industry is an important part of the communities we serve
and Wisconsin’s dairy farmers are some of the best in the
nation. Your Oostburg State Bank recognizes the
hard-working, dedicated dairy farmers in our area. Did
you know dairy farming is one of the most efficient
businesses in our nation? Year after year dairy farmers
increase the average milk production per cow. This is
important because each year the Average American consumes
nearly 600 pounds of milk, cheese, butter, ice cream,
yogurt and other dairy items. Please join us in saluting
our local dairy farmers. |
Hmm, you may be thinking, "Dairy month? Big deal!" Alright, it
isn't as huge as Christmas or Thanksgiving, but think
about it, where would you be without milk? That entire
aisle in the grocery store with the huge selection of
cereal would not be there. Chocolate cake and cookies
would just not be the same. We would not have the saying,
"Don't cry over spilt milk." What would you give to the
kids to drink with their supper? Dairy products are a
daily part of our lives, so come on and let's celebrate
June is Dairy Month.Let's start at the beginning of the
process, getting the milk from the cow. If you live in an
agricultural area or come from a farming background, you
may know how milk is taken from the cow. If you don't know
how it is done, check out the virtual tour at
MooMilk.
A great way to celebrate would be to make some dairy
products to eat. A refreshing drink for a hot day is a
milk shake. Try some of variations of a traditional milk
shake by adding bananas or strawberries. Enjoy !
