Rix Quinn’s Minute Story: The milk man

Many of us grew up during the 1960s. Some, like me, never grew up. But we've continued to age without expiring. Let's see…where was I? Oh, yes. If you grew up back then, you probably remember a neighborhood visitor called the "milk man." He worked for a local dairy, and came by in a truck two or three mornings a week delivering fresh products. Now, back in those days most milk and cream came in thick glass bottles. You would […]

Cargill and others providing extra support for The Great American Milk Drive

How much dairy do you drink or eat every day? Do you take it for granted? Consider that a lot of milk produced on farms doesn't hit supermarket shelves as fresh milk. In fact, a whopping 9% of milk collected on American dairy farms goes solely toward producing ice cream.

I still love it, but my wife never lets me wear it to weddings. This incredibly versatile outfit (shirt-like jacket and matching slack) dominated men’s wear. Guys hoped this fashion – which didn’t require a tie – would replace business suits. Some men who chose leisure […]

‘Pampered Poultry’ provides couture for your chickens

Back in 2010, Julie Baker's daughter had a favorite chicken. Their family raised a whole brood of chickens and, like most farm animals, they remained outside, free to peck, scratch, bah-gok, and poop to their hearts' content. The daughter's favorite chicken -- Abigail -- was an old hen who was fond of hanging out inside the house. As chickens are wont to do, she pooped wherever she pleased, without hesitation. She was, after all, a chicken, creatures which are rarely […]
