John's day

John feeds the cows.

He goes back to the house and has breakfast.

John begins to do the other jobs which are necessary on the farm.
For example, he takes the cows out to pasture, and cleans the milking shed.

In the summer, John harvests grass, which he stores in order to feed the animals in winter.
The stored grass is called 'silage'.

John and Richard continue with their other jobs.
Sometimes, school parties come to the farm.The children are very interested to see where milk comes from and how it is produced.

Later, a milk tanker comes to collect the milk.
John belongs to a co-operative, which collects milk on behalf of its members and sells it to a dairy. Grouping together like this helps the farmers to get a better price for their milk. The dairies then process the milk and sell it on to the supermarkets and other buyers.

The cows are milked again.
