My favorite holiday tradition is watching It’s a Wonderful Life every Christmas Eve with my family. I love that movie, every year it never fails to make you happy-cry. The movie reminds us that no matter how hard life may be right now, we need to remember the things that really matter. We may not realize it, but we make some sort of impact on everyone we meet and may even be a reason for their happiness (or existence)!
The Calving Corner is back at Farm Show for year two! The Calving Corner is a live dairy cow birthing center that offers a unique opportunity to witness the miracle of life, see cows and newborns up close, and learn more about how Pennsylvania’s dairy farmers work hard every day to responsibly care for their animals and be conscientious stewards of the land and environment. We’re proud to help sponsor this important exhibit!
Guest blogger, Jessica Peters, is a 5th generation dairy farmer in northwest Pennsylvania.
In high school, I was the girl who stayed home. I always used the farm as an excuse to dodge plans. I had to feed calves, there was hay to make, or I had to milk the next morning. They weren’t really excuses because they were true, but they were ways for me to get out of plans. Yes, I had more chores and responsibility than the average teenager, but I also just liked being home on the farm with my family. When most teenagers were choosing their friends, I genuinely enjoyed hanging out with my parents and helping around the farm. Honestly, I don’t think my friends truly understood how I felt until they started having kids of their own.
In late September, the new Pennsylvania state royalty team was chosen. This group of three young ladies will promote dairy farmers and the dairy industry for the next year. Meet Brooke Emery, Sammy Haag and Kara Stulz!
We’re only a few weeks away from the taste of delicious Dairymen’s milkshakes on our lips. That’s right – the 2019 PA Farm Show is almost here! While we’re excited for the milkshakes and fried cheese cubes, there are a few other activities happening that you don’t want to miss.
