MURFREESBORO — About
350 people attended the annual Ag Field Day at the MTSU Dairy and MTSU Farm in
Lascassas on Sept. 27.
Many people — including lots of children — saw the milking
process that takes place in the milking parlor. They also toured the rest of
the farm — a new dairy calf facility, the student garden and nursery, the
beehives and apiary (“honey house”) and saw how alfalfa has been established.
School of Agribusiness and Agriscience senior Boomer Harris
shared about the farm’s progress for the past year. Tennessee Department of
Agriculture information officer Tom Womack represented Commissioner Julius
Johnson, who was unable to attend.
