In Milk Quality, our teams placed 20th and 22nd, with Brooke Hess ranking 42nd out of approximately 150 competitors—great job!
Our Ag Mechanics team placed 34th, which is especially impressive with only three team members competing against mostly four-member teams.
We are so proud of our students for their dedication, teamwork, and effort in these highly competitive events! 👏
🧀 Field Trip Highlights:
Before break, students from Mrs. Laurie’s Dairy & Livestock class and our Food Science class explored local agriculture in action.
At Eden Valley Creamery, students sampled a variety of cheeses, flavored milk, and ice cream—with maple cinnamon milk as a clear favorite! 😋 They also toured the processing facility and learned from industry professionals about cheese production and marketing.
The day wrapped up at Telaak Farms, a multi-generational dairy farm near Ellicottville. Students experienced modern farming firsthand, including robotic milking systems, feed mixers, and manure vacuums, while also learning about the farm’s history and the importance of communication and teamwork in agriculture.
It was a fantastic day of hands-on learning, and students truly enjoyed exploring the world of local agriculture! 🌾
