Dairy and Research

Tuesday was a very enjoyable day with the humidity and temperatures dropping a bit for our visitors from Brazil. The day started with a trip to Hansen's Dairy as well as included a visit to the Borlaug Learning Center at the Northeast Research Farm near Nashua, IA.

Hansen's Dairy is a family owned farm that milks and markets their own dairy products from Hudson, IA. All aspects of production were discussed as well as nutrition. After Hansen's the group made their way to Barn Happy for lunch and a little shopping. Next the group traveled to the Borlaug Learning Center at the Northeast Research Farm. Corn and soybean research and production practices were shared. The day wrapped up with a great pizza dinner at Doey Joey's.
