Moo to You

Did you drink milk today? How did that milk get to you?

1 On the Farm

Milk cows live on dairy farms. Farmers feed and take good care of the cows. Cows give us milk. This Farmer is using a milking machine. What is she doing? 

2 On the Road

Tank trucks take milk from the farm to the plant. Milk must be kept cool all the way from the farm to you. Why? 

3 At the Plant

Milk is tested and heated to make sure it is healthy and clean. It is put in cartons or bottles. 

4 At the Store

Trucks take milk to stores. Your family buys the milk.
