The American Dairy Association (ADA) Mideast leveraged National Farmers Day this week to debut new videos and promote educational materials about how dairy foods are responsibility produced. New videos include A Virtual Dairy Farm Tour which provides a behind the scenes tour of Cold Run Jerseys with Ohio dairy farmer Tara Herron and Modern Technology: Focusing on Cow Comfort which shares how farmers use modern technology to provide excellent care for their cows and calves.

To maximize the use of these videos, ADA Mideast created corresponding educational curriculum, which aligns to core standards for grades 5-8, as part of our efforts to build trust for dairy among youth. The curriculum includes a teacher guide and resources for either virtual or in-person learning and student worksheets on dairy sustainability, cow care, milk safety and technology.
