Dairy & Tobacco Farms in Kentucky

Britt's mom took us to one of her friends Dairy farms. Mr. Frogue the owner gave us a tour and explained to the kids how they milk the cows and how everything works. We got to watch them milk the cows but didn't get to actually milk them. They do everything electronically now. So these machines actually do the milking. It was interesting to see the whole process. When I was growing up we had friends with a dairy farm and they milked the cows by hand I actually helped a few times. :) So this was something different to see. The tobacco business is a big thing in Kentucky also so while we were at the farm we got to see how they get the tobacco ready to smoke and sell. They hang it in barns and then they smoke it for about 30 days.
