Our 12 summer interns have spent the last few weeks getting acquainted with Miner Institute and delving into the hard work that will consume the next 10 weeks of their lives. They also survived three days of our annual Farm Days for Fifth Graders event where we hosted 500 area fifth graders, teachers, and parents on a tour of the farm, educating them about agriculture, Miner Institute and Heart's Delight Farm. In honor of June being Dairy Month, we took an impromptu poll of our interns, asking what is your favorite dairy product? The result: 6 votes for cheese, 5 votes for ice cream, and 1 vote for fluid milk! We are so pleased to have such a great group who will undoubtedly be a benefit to the industry as they continue their careers.
