Adams Co. Twilight meeting
NEW OXFORD - Milk
promotion was the topic for the
Adams County Holstein
Association twilight meeting held
on June 23 at Rhodes Enterprises.
Three speakers were featured,
giving Adams County Holstein
breeders ideas for dairy promotion
in schools and communities
throughout the county.
The meeting began with the
judging of a class of heifers and a
class of cows. Tom Weimer, a local
Holstein breeder, served as the
official judge.
Donald Trumble, Director of
Food Services for schools in
Washington County, Maryland
began the program by explaining
the highly successful milkshake
program that has been im
plemented in all Washington
County high schools and that will
be a part of their Middle School
lunchj program beginning in
September.
Serving milkshakes as part of
the regular school lunch was
designed as an “enticement to
participate in the total nutritious
lunch," according to Mr. Trumble.
The milkshake program uses
seventeen Taylor Freeze
machines, similar to those used in
the fast food chains. The shake
contains a mix produced by
Shenandoah Dairy Co-op, and the
regular eight ounces of milk
usually served with the school
lunch. By freezing the mixture,
and adding air and flavoring in the
final step, a thick, creamy 14 Oz.
milkshake is provided to the
students.
The schools offer four flavors
every day. Vanilla and chocolate
are always available, as well as
two other flavors that vary from
day to day. Mr. Trumble explained
that certain flavors are featured as
a promotion for school activities.
Although the regular carton of
milk is still offered as part of the
school lunch, according to Mr.
Trumble, eight out of ten students
who buy a lunch choose a
milkshake.
Mr. Trumble explained that this
is a high milk usage program
because it uses, not only the eight
ounces of milk necessary for
government reimbursement, but
also non-fat dry milk, a surplus
commodity that is provided
through the USDA at a reduced
cost.
Hie popularity of the milkshakes
with the students has not only
increased the total consumption of
milk, but it has also increased the
number of whole school lunches
being served. This is a strong
selling point to any school ad
ministration.
