Another Great Dairy Blog

Amanda NolzGeneral

There are so many great ways to start telling the dairy production story with consumers, and one of my dear friends is committed to doing just that. Melissa Hart is a freelance writer, wife, mother and dairy producer who writes on her blog every day. The blog is called Melissa Hart the Knolltop Farm Wife , and it details the life of a woman dedicated to producing a high quality, safe dairy product with her family. Here is a sample of her addicting blog entries…

It’s been a busy day here on the Knolltop. My schedule was interrupted when I was asked to go get hay. When I got back I helped finish up chores all while knowing I had to do my Holstein International Column. They have to get it to the interpreters before Friday and of course in Holland they are 7 hours ahead of me. So…deadlines are a little crazy when you write for an international magazine.

She also is a fellow volunteer for the All-American Beef Battalion, and she is a great freelance friend who is full of advice for someone like me getting started in the industry. So, when I traveled to the Great Lakes Regional Dairy Conference in Melissa’s home state of Michigan at the beginning of February, I was so excited to meet her!

I encourage you to check out her blog. It’s well worth the visit. And, I want to know….Do you blog to talk about your life in the dairy industry? If so, where can I find them and start reading?

  4. Hi there, not sure this is the right venue for this question, but I have been looking on the web for some time with no results… So, what I’m wondering is how to know which milk at the grocery store is coming from cows that live in the best humane conditions possible? I want the milk I buy to come from cows that are treated with kindness and care- allowed out to pasture etc… Any comments?

    Thanks for your time!
