Ag in the Classroom is a free program that visits DuPage schools to teach the importance of ag-riculture. The lessons can be adjusted for all age levels and meet learning standards. We would

also be happy to be a part of community events that relate to our agricultural literacy program vision and goals.

For more information contact: [email protected] or 630-668-8161.

Teacher Quote about an AITC Visit:

“Kenna’s lessons are always so engaging, reaching every type of

learner. All of these lessons fit well with our Social Studies units on Community and goods/services.”

– Johnson Elementary School, 1st grade

Meet an AITC Educator: Denise Hall

Did you know that the Ag in the Classroom program has 6 educators on our team? Now’s your chance to meet these awesome educators and learn a little bit more about what they do.

Meet the newest member of our team, Denise Hall! Denise grew up on a farm in Ford County where her fam-ily raised many different types of livestock, and she was involved with FFA. Denise attended Texas A&M and earned a degree in Animal Science with an emphasis in business. After graduation, she returned to farming with her fam-ily, and later worked in a small high school as a substitute, para-professional, and taught a Farm to Fork class. Denise has always been interested in educating the public about agriculture and dispelling myths surrounding the industry. “With my background in both education and agriculture, when this job opened up it sounded like the ideal oppor-tunity!” she says. Denise has been an AITC Educator for one year and works at Kline Creek Farm with the livestock. She resides in Warrenville with her husband, 4 children, 2 corgis, 1 cat, and 8 chickens.

With her animal science background, it will come as no surprise that Denise’s favorite lesson to teach is livestock! Denise loves to teach her K-5 students about how their food, fiber, and fuel is produced. “Many of my classes ask how livestock is butchered and they all react the same way, “Wow, that’s all? That’s not as bad as we thought.” Knowl-edge is such a powerful thing!” she says.

Denise believes that AITC is an important part of our community. With so much false information about agri-culture on the internet, AITC gives students the power to

recognize it and understand where further research is required. She also enjoys giving farmers the recognition that they deserve and helping students understand everything that a farmers work entails.

In April, all Illinois schools were closed due to COVID-19. While we were unable to visit students face to face, our staff worked on some virtual alternatives! A new e-learning tab has been added to the DCFB website, where students can find links to all kinds of agriculture education materi-als. A special farmers market activity book can be down-loaded from the “DuPage Farmers Market 2020” tab on our website. Our staff is also working with local libraries to host virtual presentations this summer.

2020 Placemat Contest > Elementary students from across DuPage County participated in our annual place-mat contest! This year’s theme was “Ag-riculture is Everywhere.” After reviewing each entry, Jaya Wong from Madison School in Hinsdale was chosen as the win-ner! Jaya’s design is entitled “Agriculture Around the Earth” and depicts both the farming and consumer sides of agricul-ture. Her design will be used on the Membership Appreciation Dinner placemat this fall.

eats about 100 pounds of feed each day.

Feed is usually a combination of grass, grain, and other

ingredients like cottonseed and citrus pulp.

Mayneland Farm has been growing and selling fruits and vegetables from the farm stand on their property since 1976. It all started when the owner, Jeremy Mayne, and his mother took in a tenant who wanted to start a large family garden on the prop-erty. When he found himself with an over abundance of produce, the tenant opened a farm stand, where the original structure still stands today. When that tenant moved away in 1980, Jeremy took over.

Now in his 41st year of operating Mayneland Farm, Jeremy runs the business with the help of part-time seasonal staff. Mayneland Farm has specialized in growing in high tunnels which are similar to green-houses but use solar energy instead of propane to heat them. The plants are grown in the ground which is cov-ered by black plastic sheet-ing with holes for the stems

of the plants. The black plas-tic provides excellent weed control and warms the soil for faster growth. They have 15 high tunnels and also grow in open fields. These high tunnels allow them to grow from April through November.

While growing produce in our ever-changing climate can be challenging, Jeremy continues to find ways to stay ahead. He has attended seminars for specialty crop growers on anaerobic treatments of soil and is experimenting with plant-ing beet seeds in his high tunnels and then transplant-ing to the field. He uses drip irrigation in the fields and leaf compost from the city. “The village delivers 75-100 truckloads of leaves, which we compost to use as mulch over the beds.”

At the farm stand you’ll find a variety of seasonal fruits and vegetables as well as flowers and honey from their 11 hives. The thrill of

that first spring crop is what he loves about the busi-ness. And Jeremy says “The compliments customers give don’t hurt either. A cus-tomer once said to me ‘You have changed the quality of my life.’ That was the best compliment I could receive. We ensure that our custom-ers get the freshest produce. Our produce is picked and mostly the same day. We don’t have to worry about the middleman and that’s the advantage we have over grocery stores. Freshness.”

about Mayneland Farm, visit them at maynelandfarm.com or stop by their Farm Stand at 27W268 Bauer Rd, Na-perville, near the corner of Mill Street and Bauer Road. They’re open and ready for business.

You’ll find asparagus, lettuce, rhubarb, radishes, strawberries, flowers and honey in late spring. In the summer months you can purchase tomatoes, specialty potatoes, onions, leeks, garlic, beans, cauliflower, peppers, eggplant, cabbage, and raspberries.

Raise a Glass to Dairy Month

While the COVID-19 pandemic prompted many Americans to hoard toilet paper, I chose milk. I panic-purchased five gallons in late March for our family of four in case I needed to freeze some. Rather, we made smoothies and milk-shakes to consume it before the best-by date.

I couldn’t imagine my fridge without milk. I rou-tinely start my day with a big glass of ice-cold 2% milk and sometimes end it with a small serving of the choco-late variety. You could say I raise my glass at dawn and dusk for dairy farmers, most fitting with the Dairy Month of June upon us.

Worthy of celebration, dairymen represent some of the most committed

farm families in America. Cows need milked two to three times a day regardless of holidays or pandemics. Thankfully, advancements in technology provide labor flexibility on dairy farms where robots milk cows and automated systems deliver feed. Dairy farmers also have upgraded cow comfort, from better bed-ding for joints to backrubs from barn-mounted brushes. Some even use FitBit-like collars to track individual cow activity.

Meanwhile, my FitBit shows a little less physical activity now that our house-hold advanced to an electric ice cream maker. When I plug it in, I think about Grandpa, who used to hand-crank our family-recipe homemade ice cream for every grandkid’s birthday party.

The tradition of National Dairy Month started the month of Grandpa’s 6th birthday in 1937. Through-out the nation, groups celebrate with ice cream so-cials, dinners at dairy farms, and promotions that tell of the nine essential nutrients in dairy products. While the

satisfying taste puts milk cheese, and yogurt on our regular grocery pickup or-der, the nutritious punch of calcium and protein justifies that decision.

Our household’s consump-tion alone proves far short of the demand needed to reverse the struggles for today’s dairy farmers. Over-supply from COVID-related shutdowns has forced dairy-men to dump milk by the tanker full. Milk that supplied restaurants, schools and institutions suddenly had no place to go. Even before the COVID crisis, declining milk consumption and oversupply had led to the demise of some dairy farms and processors.

While Dairy Month provides reason to cel-ebrate, it also should bring pause to take notice and act. Add more dairy to that gro-cery pickup order.

Ask for extra cheese on that take-out pizza. Plan ice cream for dessert, serve milk with dinner, and toast sup-port to this long-time staple of American life.

What adjectives come to mind to describe the

time we are currently living in? Chaotic? Unsettling? Whatever your words might be, it is safe to say that our lives have been disrupted from the “normal” due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Isolation, stay-at-home, unemployment, no school, and social distancing are just a few of the realities we are now experiencing.

In profound ways the field of agriculture and our food supply chain have also

been altered. Current trans-portation and unexpected food processing limitations has forced some farmers to plow under their fields, dairy farmers to dump milk, and market-ready animals eutha-nized. In turn, grocery stores have resorted to rationing some food items. National food bank organizations have been working overtime to supply food to families experiencing food insecurity.

The last time our coun-try had to deal with an outbreak of an infectious disease like COVID-19 was in the late 1940’s and early 1950’s battling the conta-gious viral epidemic polio. Medical researchers worked feverishly for several years

to find a cure for polio. They eventually found success with the help of the electron microscope and confirma-tion that three strains of the virus existed. In April, 1955, a vaccine developed by Jonas Salk and his medical team was approved by the U.S. government for wide-spread distribution.

As our nation welcomed the ground breaking dis-covery of a polio vaccine in the 1950’s, we now await a similar discovery for the CO-VID-19 virus. Argonne Na-tional Laboratory, right here in DuPage County, contains the most powerful x-ray microscope in the western hemisphere. It is here that research scientists have been

working nonstop to deter-mine the structural make-up of COVID-19 at the cellular level, hoping for the pos-sible development of drug treatments and vaccines.

We look forward to life as “normal” – which is still being defined. For the agri-cultural segment of our life, the food chain continues to be our life line. Protecting its safety and assuring its abundance now is an opti-mistic outlook during this life changing time. While it is unsettling to know that a virus has currently put the world into a stall mode, it is comforting to know that our best scientists are work-ing 24/7 to solve the mystery served up by mother nature.

Pesticide Clean Sweep Program

Virtual Farmers Market

The Illinois Department of Agriculture is planning a pesticide Clean Sweep Program collection for the residents of Boone, Cook, DeKalb, DuPage, Grundy, Kane, Kankakee, Kendall, Lake, LaSalle, McHenry, and Will counties. The DuPage County Farm Bureau is one of the local sponsors. The program is limited to the collection of old, unusable agricultural pesticides from farmers, retired farmers, and land owners who inherited products. Nursery owners and structural pest control businesses are also included as potential participants in the program. The program is free of charge to all partici-pants with the Department of Agriculture signing all hazardous waste manifest

forms, thus eliminating each participant’s liability associ-ated with the disposal of these products. Participants will not be asked to sign anything on the day of the collection.

If you meet the partici-pant criteria and would like to contribute to the pro-gram, please contact our office for a pre-registration form. Once the forms are collected, the Department will categorize all items to be collected and notify par-ticipants of the time, date and location of the collec-tion. The site will be a single collection for all 12 counties at a centralized location. If you have any questions or would like to know if you qualify, please contact our office at 630.668.8161.

Warmer weather usually brings the return of many farmer’s markets throughout DuPage. As we shelter in place, attending our beloved markets might not be pos-sible. Bensidoun USA, the market producers of large French Markets like the Wheaton French Market and others, has created a virtual marketplace for consumers

to browse and purchase lo-cal goods and services. You can visit the Virtual Market at https://www. bensidounusa.com/virtual market.html. Also, make sure you check the DuPage County Farm Bureau website for updates on market open dates as well as local farm stands to purchase locally grown fruits and vegetables!

They Say Milk is Local ... But How Do I Know?

Have you ever wondered where your milk comes from? You’re in luck! Visit whereismymilkfrom.com and follow the instructions to locate the code on your milk container (or on any other dairy product in your fridge). Most codes are a series of two numbers, followed by a dash, then followed by one to five more numbers (example: 12-34567). The numbers before

the dash indicate the plant where your milk or dairy product was processed and pack-aged. The numbers after the dash indicate what dairy farm the milk came from.
