we went with the Ag-women group to Mapleton Organic
the cows are real up close
Arla the herd manager
just like us they have a voluntary milking system
they have a barn where there are pigs, calves, and chickens
and some turkeys
it's not a petting zoo but to teach about farming
This teaches crop rotation
besides ice-cream they have yoghurt
saw some coffee-Break friends
bought some specialty ice cream
dandelion, pumpkin and chai
we ate the dandelion already yummy!!

Looks fun. I didn't know they had Lely robots.
yes they do, they have quite the job of educating people about farming. On purpose they call the milking system "voluntary milking system" it makes people feel better that cows choose to milk themselves. It is absolutely true, language is important, so if that sounds better then "robotic milking" that's what we should all call it :)
