Anywhere Farm

We grow all the food for our animals on Bremer Farms. We also grow much of the food we eat!


This book shows all the places and all the ways you could have an Anywhere Farm.


The farmers in this book need the same things Bremer Farms need to start growing food.


Whether it's growing food for people,


or growing food for animals,


it all starts the same way. Feeding animals just takes a lot more seeds and a lot more soil!

E Is For Environment

It's June Dairy Month! The barn doors are open, 
so join me on my daily A to Z journey 
to learn more about dairy. 

  E is for Environment
 

 We not only work on our farm, we live here too. 
We understand the importance of protecting our natural resources. 


We appreciate nature and take good care of our land. 
We follow good conservation practices to reduce soil and water erosion.
 
 
We use water responsibly. State and local government agencies regularly inspect and test water on dairy farms. 
 

Dairy farms produce a gallon of milk using 95 percent less land 
and 65 percent less water compared with 1944.
That makes this farmer proud!
