The agriculture commissioners from four states were on hand and hands-on at the Sunbelt Ag Expo in Moultrie, Georgia last month for the second Commissioner’s Milking Contest – which was a whole lot of fun.

The very friendly competition included Tommy Irvin of Georgia, Charlie Bronson of Florida, Ron Sparks of Alabama, and Ken Givens of Tennessee. When it was all over, the winner as you can see by the photo was Tennessee’s Ken Givens, whose background of being raised on a dairy farm was obvious. It took two measuring tubes for Givens milking effort, while Sparks came in 2nd, Irvin 3rd, and Bronson 4th in an event to promote the dairy industry.

Givens is now the champion for two years running in the competition.

Just before they got started with the contest, the guys were milking it for all it was worth in an interview with Randall Weiseman of Southeast Agnet. I made that great little piece of audio into a Milking Parlor podcast, which you can listen to here:
