Dairy Month: Let’s Visit the Oldest Milking Jersey Herd In The Country!

“We were a farm before Tennessee was a state!”

It is home to the oldest milking Jersey herd in the country!

The Tennessee Farm Bureau shows us how this long-standing tradition has stayed afloat in the midst of a tough environment for dairy farms.
