IOWA DAIRY STORY The Northeast Iowa Community-Based Dairy Foundation, a grassroots organization that includes dairy farm families and industry professionals, has identified this need and taken strides to meet it by creating the Iowa Dairy Story and Museum at our Dairy Center located just south of Calmar. The Iowa Dairy Story hones in on a target audience of third, fourth and fifth grade children and their teachers. The program not only includes interactive nutritional information on the value of dairy products in a healthy diet, but it also takes students on the journey of how green grass becomes milk in their glass with the help of true economic engines - dairy cows. This program rates high with teachers and students, of which over 8,000 have visited the Dairy Center for the Iowa Dairy Story. The program is guided by volunteers, Dairy Center staff and Iowa State University Extension personnel who lend their first-hand dairy experience to bring the Iowa Dairy Story to life.
