County Kernels Cheese Days – Green County
Butter Making – Outagamie County
The Green County Farm Bureau used rain gutters for duck races in the Family Farm Adventure Tent during Green County Cheese Days.
In June, Outagamie County Farm Bureau members taught breakfast on the farm attendees how to make butter with heavy whipping cream. Kids and adults alike were surprised at how easy it was to make their own butter. Thank you to the 4-H and FFA volunteers who helped with the activity.
Pizza Plunge – Barron County
Focus on Ag – Rock County
Pizza Plunge, an Ag in the Classroom program, taught middle school students about the farming behind pizza ingredients: crust is made of wheat, sauce includes tomatoes and cheese is made from milk. The event also focused on agricultural careers. The Farm Bureau Pizza Ag Mag was used to teach the students all the way from field to fork.
The Rock County Farm Bureau sponsored Rock County Focus on Ag at MacFarlane Pheasants, Inc. The event shared the importance of agriculture in Rock County with elected officials and candidates. This year’s attendees included town board supervisors and congressional candidates.
