Over 70 students from both 2 and 4 year colleges from across the nation spent three days in Manitowoc County as participants in the Midwest Dairy Challenge. The real value of the program
is that IT allows students to take what they have learned in the classroom and apply that to a working dairy farm. Local 5 Ag Reporter Mike Austin shares what is the value of the program for the students and the future of dairy farming.
