LOGAN, UTAH (RFD NEWS) — As National Dairy Month continues, Utah State University is highlighting the dairy program that helps make Aggie Ice Cream possible.
The Aggie Creamery has been a part of Utah State’s dairy program since 1888, producing ice cream and other dairy products.
Utah State’s dairy program also serves as a teaching tool for students and producers, showcasing technologies used across the industry.
Assistant professor and dairy extension specialist Dr. Bruce Richards said the university’s robotic milking barn helps provide hands-on learning opportunities.
“We’re in the robot barn right now. So we have a robot that milks the Holsteins. We’re pretty excited to be able to show this technology to our students and to producers and teach them about the technology and the opportunities there are to use technology in the dairy industry.”
National Dairy Month is recognized each June as a way to celebrate dairy farmers and the industry that supports them.
