How they handled the cold

摘要

Coping with last year's extreme temperatures wasn't easy. These dairy producers, from among North America's coldest dairy regions, shared how they kept their farms running the best they could.ERIGID cold settled in unusually early last fall and continued to hold its grip on many of us in what became a very long winter. Not only did it test our resolve as we persevered to keep our dairy herds, employees and families safe and healthy, the ensuing obstacles added to our already long daily "to-do lists."With colder-than-normal temperatures already settling upon us, another long winter may be on its way. These dairy producers, some of whom experienced 80-plus straight days of below 0°F temperatures, share with us how exactly they kept their businesses operational during last year's deep freeze.
