Your hosts for the Sevastopol FFA Dairy Breakfast this Saturday have five generations of tradition keeping their Sturgeon Bay farm alive after over 140 years of operation. Last year, Megan Staats-Tonn and Jason Staats partnered with Ed and Deb Staats to run CVF Dairy, which milks over 400 cows a day and produces approximately 800 gallons of maple syrup annually. A lot of change has happened in those 140 years, especially in the area of cow comfort. Technology does many things in CVF’s free-stall barn, including a robot that pushes feed closer to the cows, automatic fan ventilation to keep them cool, and pedometers to help keep track of their vitals. For Deb and Megan, it means a lot that they get to continue the family tradition of farming together as mother and daughter.
You can check out the barn and the maple syrup production facility as a part of the Sevastopol FFA Dairy Breakfast on July 6th from 6:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.
