Today a RD from the American Dairy Council came and spoke to the class. Her role, as an RD, is to take part in community education seminars. She travels around the region and gives speeches on behalf of the council. She explained that the council is funding by the actual dairy farmers in the state. They pay a fee to have their milk checked. One fun fact I learned was that there are over 3,000 dairy farms in the state of Ohio and each has an average of 80 cows!!
