Hall\, Northwest Iowa Dairy Specialist with ISU Extension and Outreach.\nThe program will also feature a panel of local agricultural lenders who will discuss what they look for in the future of ag loans and financial decisions.

SUMMARY:Discover Dairy At The Round Barn
DESCRIPTION:Plymouth County Fair to Turn Round Barn into Dairy Destination \nThis county fair in northwest Iowa will offer hands-on\, goggles-on dairy experience for all ages. \nThe Plymouth County Fair will feature a variety of educational dairy and agricultural exhibits for this year’s fair\, which runs from July 24-28 in Le Mars. One of the highlights will be the Mobile Dairy Classroom\, a 40-foot mobile milking exhibit provided by the Southwest Dairy Farmers organization. Visitors will get to see exactly how milking is done\, using the mobile dairy parlor exhibit\, which also features a large-screen television\, to show realistic farm scenes and an educational slide show. \n“It really is an impactful program for youth\,” said Fred Hall\, dairy specialist with Iowa State University Extension and Outreach. \nHall said the fair staff and the staff at the ISU Extension and Outreach Plymouth County are making significant strides to highlight the dairy industry during this year’s fair. \n“Discover Dairy” is the theme for this year’s exhibits\, which include the Tonsfeldt Round Barn\, which will be decorated in a way that gives visitors the experience of stepping inside new carousal-style milking parlor installed at Perry Creek Dairy\, located west of Le Mars. \nLife-size photos will illustrate the modern way of milking\, from a parlor in which the carousel rotates. \nThe Plymouth County FFA is also organizing educational exhibits inside the barn\, explaining the importance of different dairy products\, how they’re processed and prepared\, and their nutritional value. \nThe fair will also feature a butter sculpture of the Tonsfeldt Round Barn\, created by Sarah Pratt\, known as “the butter lady\,” and the same artist who creates the butter cow at the Iowa State Fair. \nVisitors can also put on a pair of specially equipped goggles that give the participant a virtual tour of a local dairy farm\, including the milking parlor\, holding pens\, feed and more. The 3-D tour is provided by the Siouxland Ag in the Classroom\, and area FFA chapters. \nThe 3-D tour will be available Thursday through Sunday (July 25-28)\, beginning at 6 p.m. inside the round barn.\n“Since Le Mars is known as the ‘Ice Cream Capital of the World\,’ it seemed only appropriate to showcase the region’s dairy processors\, and dairy producers\,” said Jordan Sitzmann\, vice president for the Chamber of Commerce-Agriculture Division.
