Milk house - The milk house is a one-story structure used for the storage
of milk after the cows have been milked. This building would be conveniently

would provide a convenient space to cool milk and cream quickly.

TEXT:
Cows - Cows drink a bathtub full of water and eat about 40 pounds of feed
and hay and 50 pounds of silage every day. On dairy farms, the main purpose
for cows is for milk production. It usually takes five to ten minutes
for a cow to be milked. On average, a cow is milked two to three times
a day. On livestock farms, cows are raised for beef.

Scene 21:
TEXT:
Horses used to be a necessity to farm life. They were used to pull machinery
and to ease the workload for the farmers.
Silos are now made of different materials such as cement versus the traditional
wood.
Silos are also being made to lie down on the ground instead of built up
in the air.
The milking system has changed tremendously with technology such as the
pipeline and the bulk tank. The old fashioned way of hand and bucket is
no longer necessary.
Today, fewer farms are found in Wisconsin than ever before. Small farms
are being replaced by large commercial farms.
SOUND: soft country music
