Caring for Cows and the Earth
Meet Farmer Brent Seppelt!
He has a dairy farm in Rice, Minnesota. Brent takes care of cows every day with his family. He also takes care of the land, water, and air on his farm.
Brent built a new barn for his young female cows that have not had babies yet. These cows are called heifers. Brent worked with a team to make sure the barn is safe for the cows and safe for the Earth.
Meet the Team!
Brent worked with scientists and engineers on the new barn.

Farms can use a lot of land, water, and air. But farmers like Brent work with scientists and engineers to:
- Keep water clean
- Protect healthy soil
- Build safe barns for animals
You can help the Earth too!
What is one way you can help keep the land, water, or air clean?
