Guest Speaker: Kyla
Reid |
|
Jim introduced Kyla today
who is the Dairy Coordinator
for the Chatham-Kent area,
supported by Dairy Farmers
of Ontario & the local
producers.
 Kyla
runs an elementary school
program, promoting dairy to
our young people. Quite
often they know nothing more
about milk other than how to
buy it at the grocery store
or at Mac’s.
Through
a variety of tools &
samples, she talks about the
milk industry – careers,
technology in the barn, the
product from cow to a
finished product, farming
practices for a better
environment, animal care &
conservation efforts, to
name a few topics.
We
enjoy one of the world’s
most stringent regulations
of the milk production
cycle.
Drink
milk!
A very
interesting topic, Kyla.
Jim thanked her with a book
for the Literary Angels
program.
