Yesterday, members of the Black River FFA Chapter had the privilege of joining the

Leadership Medina County class for their annual Ag Day. This is an event that members of Medina County Farm Bureau have put together and sponsored for well over 35 years. The class started off with a welcome and breakfast at Dairy Farmers of America's Medina office. They learned that the DFA is a cooperative and the advantages it offers to its members (which makes up about 1/3 of the dairy industry nationwide). The next stop was Simmons Sheep Farm where the group learned how the Dorset lamb can play a role in providing quality meat to consumers. Thank you to Bill and Linda Simmons for hosting and sharing about the sheep industry!
