Tifton Campus: News & Events
UGA Tifton Dairy Field Day 2008
As part of the UGA Tifton Dairy Field Day on May 8 and 9, every first-grader in Tift County, around 600 students, visited the dairy to learn more about livestock, poultry and fish.
"The students learned in class about the animals before coming. They then get to see the animals and learn more about them firsthand," said event organizer John Bernard, a dairy nutritionist on the campus.
"We are in the business of education," said Joe West, the UGA Tifton campus assistant dean. "We have so many talented, motivated people who work here. This program and the people who dedicate their time are a window for these kids to see how their food and fiber are made. You never know what positive things can happen by just reaching out and sharing this type of experience."
