Farmers Weekly Review

John Kiefner provided this photo to go with his column this week. Before electricity and refrigeration came to the dairy farm, milk was stored in small milk cans and set in a tub of water to be chilled until picked up each day by the milkman and taken to the dairy for processing, usually in the closest town. This picture shows the overflow pipe from the inside of the milk house that would have filled the outside concrete water tank that the cows would drink from throughout the day. This milk house still exists in the backyard of the home of Jim and Pam Robbins.
