June is dairy month .
So if you need an excuse to go to town to get an ice cream, use it. I took my family sunday evening to town. The local ice cream parlor served up a nice cone in a homemade waffle and we sat outside enjoying the nice summer evening.
 June is also the month of getting the first cutting of hay and haylage done.The local crop farmer who grows most of our feed, also known as Uncle Ken, got they hay cut, spread out, dry enough to take the chopper to the field to get it chopped. A steady stream of trucks and tractors brought all the good stuff to the farm where it got packed in a big pile (bunker) and covert with plastic and tires to let it ferment for a weeks before feeding it to the cows. Sorry , I forgot to take pictures and will try to make this up with second or third cutting. We also bought some baled hay.
June is also the month before Breakfast on the Farm. We met again this week with this great group of volunteers that are putting in so many hours of dedication to pull of this event for Sanilac County.
So if you have not heard about this event please go to  www.breakfastonthefarm.com or visit the Goma Dairy Farm Facebook pages where more information will be available in the next weeks to come.
And then get in the car that Saturday July 21st  to check out yourself where and how healthy, nutritious milk is being produced and how well modern farms take care of the animals, the people and the environment .
