Monday's agriculture website - National Holstein Convention

Whether you're coming to the National Holstein Convention this week or not, you can read about the Holstein breed and some of the Holstein dairy cow farmers in Virginia. Holstein breeders hold a convention every year in a different state. The official convention website also has a copy of the souvenir catalog. There are plenty of activities for youth and adults, not to mention a sale Friday evening of some of the best Holstein cattle in the country! (and don't forget, Cow Art and More will be there for our first live event!)

Monday's agriculture website - Farmer Bloggers

Have you ever wondered what happens on the farm?  Do you want to know how the milk gets from the cow to you?  What does a rancher ride the prairie for?  If you've ever wondered about this or other farm and food questions, head over to the Farmers Blog, a collection of farmer blogs in  "one stop shop" setting.

The group of blogs consists of several farms and ranches from the California Valleys and Mountains to the Midwest plains, organic, conventional, large, small, grain, livestock and more.   Click here to see a complete list of the farmers and their backgrounds.
