City Girl Gone Country, From the Dairy Barn to the Pitcher's Mound, Entire Sixth Generation Working Together and Giese's Open Farms and Hearts

There are many stories from the latest issue of the Dairy Star newspaper, and we are highlighting a few of them in this episode of Dairy Delivery. Today’s podcast starts with a conversation with Ella Logue, who embraces the opportunities within the dairy industry with no prior experience. Now, she has worked for four dairy farms over the past three years and wants her involvement in the dairy industry to be lifelong. Another story we hear is from high school athlete Larkun Kurth and how lessons in hard work were earned at a young age on the dairy farm. Early morning chores and ensuring the job was not just done, but done right, taught him wisdom that translated to his athletic career. In the third segment, we hear how four out of the four sixth generation of the Strutz family are working together on the farm in Two Rivers, Wisconsin. All four kids have degrees from Lakeshore College or Fox Valley Technical College. The interests of the Strutz siblings converged on the farm as each one returned home and started to specialize in their passions. The last conversation is how Mike and Mary Giese are providing opportunities for4-H members to gain dairy experience. For kids who want to be part of agriculture, but do not have a farm with dairy, the Gieses hope that giving them a chance to show and work with animals can instill life lessons.
