Take a virtual tour of a dairy farm!
1. On the Farm
Milk cows live on dairy farms. Farmers feed and take good care of the cows. Cows give us milk.
A farmer is using a milking machine on this cow. What does this machine do?
2. On the Road
Tank trucks take milk from the farm to the plant. Milk must be kept cool all the way from the farm to you. Why?
3. At the Milk Plant
Milk is tested and heated to make sure it is healthy and clean. It is put in cartons or bottles. Some plants even turn milk into cheese.
4. At the Store
Trucks take milk to stores. Your family buys the milk. It takes less than 48 hours
for milk to reach the store from the farm.
5. You Drink the Milk
How many different kinds of milk can you name? 2% milk is one kind.
