		<description><![CDATA[<b>By Brian Medeiros 
Medeiros &#038; Son Dairy</b>

As I sit here in my GPS-guided, electronically-controlled tractor on a Saturday morning, I cannot help but think about how far agriculture and dairy farming has come in the last 20 years. 

I remember when I was kid going out in the mornings to feed the calves,  and coming home after school excited to help Dad finish up his chores. It was all manual labor and it was all part of an honest day’s work.  Records were kept on paper by hand, and cows were fed with pitch forks and buckets. Field work was done by sight, and irrigation borders were determined by taking paces through the rows of growing feed.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Water is a precious and versatile resource on dairy farms. Because dairy farmers are vigilant stewards of the land, they remain conscious of how they utilize water, ensuring it is done in the smartest and most sustainable ways possible.

This natural resource is not just provided to cows as a refreshing drink, it also is used in other ways, such as chilling milk at the farm.

Because milk leaves a cow’s body at 101 degrees, water is used in a cooling system in the farm’s milking parlor to quickly chill it to about 38 degrees, assuring its continued freshness from the farm to your refrigerator.]]></description>
