Michigan dairy farmers are starting to plant crops that will later be harvested and become feed for their cows. 🐄

Dairy cows eat a variety of feed ingredients that are mixed into a Total Mixed Ration, or “cow casserole,” to ensure they are getting the nutrients they need to produce the high-quality milk we enjoy!

Some common casserole ingredients include:

🌽 Corn silage
🌾Haylage/Hay
🌱 Soybean meal

Learn more about alfalfa from @messykennedy! ⬇️

#RG @messykennedy When things start warming up every farmer gets antsy to get moving. It’s like seeing your neighbor mow their law, but on steroids. We had some beautiful weather on Friday and our hay is planted. We planted a mix of oats and peas with alfalfa. Alfalfa is great cow food and a perfect addition to our cow casserole because it’s high in protein. The oats and peas help protect the alfalfa while it’s just starting to grow and we can harvest more feed earlier because it grows more in cooler weather.

Grasses and alfalfa are great for the soil health too. They can help with soil compaction, are a natural water filter and once we are done with the grass it leaves organic matter (plant food) in the soil for the next crop.

Front porch cheesin to celebrate #NationalGrilledCheeseMonth! 🎉🧀

We can’t think of a comfort food more deserving of a month-long celebration. What is your go-to bread and cheese combination? Do you add 🥑 or 🍅?

#MilkMeansMore #UndeniablyDairy

#RG @stefmturner Front porch cheesin 🧀 becaussseeee it was 80, sunny-ish, annnddd dinner was done in about 8 minutes. 💁🏼‍♀️ We celebrated #nationalgrilledcheesemonth with a picnic, and our favorite “girl cheese” combo- 2 kinds of cheese (cheddar & Muenster), bread, ham, and can’t forget the ketchup for dipping.
Yes- they call it “girl cheese” and I’m never correcting them 🤣. Also, do you guys dip yours in ketchup? Or is this weird? I guess it’s something I grew up on so I thought everyone did it? Did you?

"Say Cheese!" 🧀🦷

Instead of #TongueOutTuesday it's #TeethOutTuesday! #DYK dairy foods like cheese, milk and yogurt are beneficial for dental health?

These foods provide children with protein, vitamins and minerals, especially calcium and phosphorus, that support their growth and development. Dairy may also help reduce tooth decay. Cheese increases saliva production which acts as a natural rinse for the mouth that washes away cavity-causing bacteria.

We are excited to announce our second #MiSchoolFoodHero – Congratulations to Heidi Leffew, the head cook at Bear Lake School. Heidi's dedication to ensuring all kids are fed didn't start when the pandemic started. Not only does she steam vegetables minutes before lunchtime so they don’t get soggy, Heidi has worked tirelessly to serve nutritious meals to Laker students in-person, curbside, on the weekends and via deliveries. 🌟

“I am blessed to be involved with such a great team here at Bear Lake School from my director on down,” said Heidi. “The last year has been crazy but together we worked it out.”

Food Service Director for Bear Lake Schools, Tim Klenow, nominated Heidi who added, "Heidi is someone who does everything in their power for the good of their students, their community and her family without asking anything in return. I just want her to see that she is making a difference.”

School food service workers continue to provide comforting and nutritious meals to students. Michigan dairy farmers applaud their efforts and want to continue to recognize community members who have gone above and beyond. Know a school #MiFoodHero that deserves recognition? Nominate them before April 30th, 🔗 in bio.
