![]() On a dairy farm, the place where the milking magic happens is called a “parlor.” Milking parlors, like cows, come in all different shapes and sizes. It’s not just the equipment that has changed either the way dairies are designed has also changed since the days when each farmer had just one cow. Dairy farmers use different milking equipment depending on how many cows they milk, how many times a day they milk, the cost of machinery and their personal preference. These days, more efficient machines and sometimes robots provide relief to the hands of farmers around the country. This was a tedious, yet rewarding task, and dairy farmers have new technology that allows them to feed our growing world! “You squeeze the udder and milk comes out!” While this is true, the days of dairy farmers pulling up a stool to milk cows one at a time are long behind us. All jokes aside, how does the milk get from cows to our table? Some of us even think chocolate milk comes from brown cows.
