T Is For Tour

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. 

  Today T Is For Tour

Have you ever visited a dairy farm? 

My parents, and grandparents, and all of my aunts and uncles were dairy farmers. So besides living on a farm, whenever my family visited our relatives, we always went to a farm. Didn't everyone have relatives that were farmers? Nowadays, most people are two or three generations removed from farming, meaning most folks have never been on a farm.  

Today you are going to visit a dairy farm! Now I can't expect all of you to visit us here at Bremer Farms, so through the magic of television (and the internet) I'm doing the next best thing and inviting you to a virtual tour of several dairy farms. No need to pack your bags, just sit back, relax, click on the links below, and enjoy your visit!

Take a Hike, Mike!

Do you remember the weather during the month of June? Here at Bremer Farms we had eight days of over 90 degree heat and we had 20 days with rainfall. June was a somewhat crazy  month where the weather was concerned, but that is not where crazy ends. Bremer Farms spent the month of June preparing for celebrity status as we filmed "Take a Hike, Mike!" for our local cable TV station. Filming with the heat and the raindrops proved challenging, but fun.

Our son, Michael is in the third season of his show, "Take a Hike, Mike!" where he visits a local business, learns about it, and lends a helping hand. His goal is to educate the community on little-known businesses. So what better way to promote agriculture and dairy farming than to have Michael lend a helping hand at Bremer Farms. But don't let his lack of knowledge fool you. Actually, Michael farms every day besides working full time at Hastings Community TV, so he did a little "pretending" when John was teaching him about farming for this episode. And don't let the jokes fool you either. We take farming and caring for our land and animals very seriously, but who says we can't have a good laugh along the way?
