Throughout 2023, with the help of our commodity partners, we'll be taking a closer look at foundational Manitoba commodities and the people who help produce the food we eat. September 18 to 22 is Dairy Week!
Teachers, follow along on our social media for:
- Fun facts about dairy cows, milk, and their importance to Manitoba agriculture
- A profile of a Manitoba dairy producer and what they’re doing to promote environmental stewardship, feed the world, and more
- AITC-M Connections to dairy through our classroom programs and resources, and professional development opportunities for educators
