We’re all Poets

Day Three can only be described best as a fruit basket of events. We started our day at the Poet ethanol plant. There we learned about the role ethanol plays in the US fuel industry and how Poet tries its best to support local farmers by trying to only buy corn from within 25 miles of each plant. After this, our day was split into two. Our early afternoon was spent separating the calves and their mothers from the rest of a heard of cows. Once this was done we headed off to another farm where we cut and packaged wheels of cheese. Overall this has been a very enlightening and fun experience!
