Forget the guinea pig. How about adopting a 1,500-pound dairy cow for your class pet? The Dairy Alliance's “Adopt a Cow” program is an exciting, year-long experience for your classroom. Throughout the program, you’ll get an inside look at dairy farming and be paired with a calf from a working dairy farm in the United States. You’ll receive progress updates, photos, live chats from the farm, activity sheets, suggested lessons that follow Common CORE standards, and even opportunities to write letters to your calf! The best part? It’s FREE!

Visit www.discoverdairy.com/adopt to learn more about the free program. Registration ends September 15.

Seeds are alive! Sure, they're dormant, but if left in a hot garage or damp basement, they will die without ever breaking dormancy. Holding on to seeds for multiple seasons means that every year will yield less and less viability.

When storing, we can do our best to mimic the conditions that create and maintain the dormant state of the seed. This can be broken down into three needs we need to understand. Seeds need to be kept cool, dry, and dark.

We harvest Tom's first when we have fresh energy. Whew!

Huge work day yesterday. A few aches & pains this morning to remind us we're still alive.

God is good!
