A very important part of the dairy industry decline is the dropping consumption of traditional milk. Per capita, consumption of cow's milk is declining while consumption of substitute milks like soy milk, almond milk etc. Keep increasing. Most of us on this board were raised in the days when children were supposed to be drinking two or more glasses of milk each day. I don't hear this recommendation any more. Dean Foods, who had bought up a lot of independent dairy processing plants, filed bankruptcy recently. I noticed that their "Dairypure" milk disappeared from our dollar General store. I don't agree with the trend away from cow's milk for children and towards milk substitutes. We raised our children with plenty of milk, which I believe helps with teeth and bone formation, along with providing protein to help build muscle. I don't think the dairy industry overall was willing to admit the seriousness of the lactose intolerance problem. I know many people who can drink A2 milk but can't tolerate A1. No one can assume that they will be able to continue the profession of their parents and grandparents. Small farms that are adapting to changing markets are surviving. Looks like in the future, there will be mega farms mostly owned and controlled by mega retailers and producing commodity milk and crops. There will also be small farms who adapt quickly to changing consumer demand and find ways to sell directly to end users.

Minus two kids, we traveled light with only the youngest in tow. As long as a pool was at the end of our destination she was easy to please unlike the other two who have a multitude of requirements to travel with mom and dad. Amana Colonies served as a respite where we ate a family style lunch that sustained us with more food than could reasonably fit into our ample physiques. The show at Ankeny
