The foamers are what the milkers use to clean off the cows' teats. They foam, like foam soap, due to an air compressor. But something wasn't working. Kris tried a new compressor, and it worked. They were mostly done for the night, but it would really matter to the guys milking in the morning - always better to fix things .. when you're awake, as opposed to half asleep!
It's super cold here. It's supposed to get down to 9 degrees tonight. What mysterious problems will the cold cause tomorrow? Always a surprise!

I was in Kroger today and heard over the speaker, "Michigan's dairy farmers and Kroger have come together to donate milk to those in need. Donate a gallon of milk by buying a paper milk gallon at the register."
This is the second annual "Pour it Forward" campaign, which runs this month in all 124 Michigan Kroger stores. Kroger customers can purchase a paper milk gallon for $3, and the milk goes to local food banks. The United Dairy Industry of Michigan (funded by dairy farmers) has partnered with The Kroger Co. of Michigan as part of the Great American Milk Drive.
The above article quotes Jayne Homco, president of The Kroger Co. of Michigan, as saying that milk is the number one food item requested by Michigan food banks.
When I got to the register, this is what I saw ... looks like it's popular in the North Pole, too.
