EAST PROSPECT - "Omt Young
Dairymen, Thanks for tho orasars and
ice cream and stuff. Lore, Joshua. ”
Joshua was one of over 500
students at the Canadochly Valley
Elementary School who recently
participated in a milk promotion
program, thanks in part, to a grant
from the Pennsylvania Dairy
Promotion Board.
Recipient of a $250 funding grant
was the Young Dairymen group of
the Middle Atlantic Division,
Dairymen, Inc. Since the majority
of that organization’s membership
of young dairy farmer families
hails from southern York County,
promotion focus has been on
elementary schools in that area.
Students were divided by classes
into five groups, with the program
altered slightly based on the age
levels. Spokesmen from among the
Young Dairymen membership

took turns speaking about cows
and milk production, the Real Seal,
and the importance of milk for
physical fitness, plus answering
the gamut of expected and
sometimes unexpected
questions.
From the thank you letters the
Young Dairymen received
following their visit, it becomes
obvious that each child learned at
least one new thing.
‘‘Thank you for teaching us. Thank you
for the cows. I enjoyed the program. I
teamed that cows can bring up cuds. I
teamed that cows hare ealfs all year
round. Thank you for the bumpfr sticker.

Younger groups saw the movie
“Hey Cow” from the producers of
Sesame Street programs, while
older students enjoyed a slightly
longer and more detailed film,
“Wholly Cow.”
Then it was time to line up, class
by class, for a chance to really get
into actual involvement with
making a dairy product. For many
of the youngsters, taking tne crank
of a freezer full of hardening ice
cream was a first-time experience.
While strong Young Dairymen
held the freezer in place and
supervised the cranking chores,
other members in an adjoining
room watched over several other
batches being whizzed into vanilla
ice cream for sampling. By the end
of a full day of ice, salt and
churning, 76 quarts of the tasty
homemade dessert had been
distributed.
Each student had the op
portunity to sample flavored UHT
milk, and older grades nibbled
away a full five pounds of flavorful
Longhorn cheese.
Their heads filled with milk
information and their tummies
with Real milk products,
youngsters warmly welcomed the
program’s climax, and left with
pockets stuffed as well. Molly Moo,
fuzzy pink cow with a “bag” full of
dairy promotion goodies, made the
rounds, handing out cow erasers,
balloons, and other souvenirs of
the day.
It’s hard to tell which the kids
enjoyed more their new
knowledge, the ice cream, or the
goodies they got to take home.
“Dear Dairyman, Thank you for giving
us tho coloring book tod tho stiekor and
tho orator and tho let ertam and thank
you for sharing tho movios with us. And I

In faster milking and
improved herd health.
So is NuPulse. Our new MLX Milkers’ bigger bowl with larger
inlets and outlet has increased milk flow substantially. Even with
high producers, my customers are reporting faster milking. With
equalized vacuum on both sides of the inflation, we get far less
fall-off or creeping. We’re finding better udder health and teat
condition. More and more, dairymen tell me the NuPulse
System is not only easier on their cows, it’s easier on them.
