| Have yourself a Mooory Christmas! |
Snow is on the ground, temperatures are dipping well below zero, and "Jingle Bells" is blaring on the radio. Christmas is the obvious explanation. With it being Christmas time and all, it can only mean:
1.Wearing layers upon layers of clothes to class so you don't freeze on the way there. BRRRR!
 |
| What a typical student at NDSU looks like walking around campus during winter. |
2.Even more sleep deprived nights of studying for the dreaded finals.
 |
| Pretty much sums it up. |
3. The ending of another semester here at North Dakota State University.
Sadly, along with the ending of the semester, my weekly blog posts about the awesome dairy community will also come to a close.
 |
| WAIT, DID YOU SAY... END?! |
 |
| NOOO.... |
 |
| WHY DOES IT HAVE TO END?! |
Yes, I know. How could I stop writing? Why would I want to stop in the first place? Well, the blog that you have been keeping up with these past few months was in fact part of my COMM 133 class (Introduction to Agricultural Communication) that I am taking at NDSU. Part of the class assignments was to keep up a somewhat weekly blog about a topic in agriculture that interested us. I choose the dairy industry as my main focus. I must admit, it was kind of fun putting posts together and finding the different information needed for a week's specific criteria. But like all good things, it must come to an end. I may or may not come back to the blog and write a small post here and there, but I'm afraid the "weekly" posts are done for now.
Before I go however, I want to leave you readers with some other great websites and blogs to try to still get your dairy reading material.
One of my personal favorite blogs is hosted by Carrie Mess. She along with her husband run a dairy farm in Wisconsin. When she isn't busy with farm life, she runs Dairy Carrie. Many of her posts also deal with the dairy industry and she offers her opinions on certain topics within it as well. I highly recommend it.
Another one you should check out is the famous cow artist, Bonnie Mohr's own blog, Second Floor Chat. Not only does she paint beautiful cows, but she also posts about what activities she does in the dairy industry between paintings.
As for websites, I suggest going to the Midwest Dairy Association, Dairy Farming Today, and the National Dairy Council. They are great for general information about the dairy industry. Some of them lead to even more useful websites that discuss what dairy farming is all about. There are also some tasty dairy recipes to try as well.
It has been a blast these past few months getting to write about something I am so passionate for. Along with sharing all that I know about the dairy community with you, I too have learned many new things through this blog writing process. And who knows, I may just show up again later with more information to share with you. Until then, thank you again for sticking with me. Don't forget your three servings each day and remember to have a dairy good day every day!
