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.
