dairy farmers

Many kids drink milk, eat cheese, and love ice cream. However, most people don't own cows to produce milk for these things; we need dairy farmers for this reason. Owning a dairy farm requires long hours of work and is often very mentally and physically draining. Your readers will learn about how dairy farms operate and how dairy farmers go about their workday. They'll also learn about how people become dairy farmers and the challenges dairy farmers must overcome. Full-color photographs depict important aspects of this job while thorough text and fact boxes provide readers with more information about this important career.
