Why are dairy calves taken away from their mothers? Cow Fitbits? Really, that’s a thing? (As we’ve said before, this isn’t your grandfather’s way of farming). Have your kids ever asked you some off the wall question like – “Mom, how long is a cow’s tongue?” We’re answering these and so much more thanks to the help of Farm Wisconsin Discovery Center. It’s a one-of-a-kind, hands-on learning facility based in Northeastern Wisconsin where the wonders of agriculture are on full display. Abigail Martin is the program manager at the Farm Wisconsin Discovery Center, supporting their educational mission by bringing new, creative programs and activities to the Farm Wisconsin experience. She answers some of the most common questions people ask when visiting (some I’m sure you’re thinking about right now) and helps us plan our trip to this 10,000 sq. foot facility that will leave you and your kids intrigued and informed.
