Wisconsin "Cheeseheads"

[Nym]

Dairy is a major industry in the U.S. state of Wisconsin. Being known for its dairy production, the state is often called "America's Dairyland." The industry is prominent in official state symbols—being displayed on the state's license plates, state's slogan, and on the state quarter.

Wisconsin at one time had the most Dairies in the USA,
As of 2018, Wisconsin ranks second in the United States in dairy production,with over 7000 dairy farms that produce 2.44 billion pounds

As of 2020, Wisconsin produces 26% of all cheese in the US, totaling 3.39 billion pounds (1.54×109 kg) of cheese in the last year.

The nickname "cheesehead" is used in the United States to refer to people from Wisconsin or fans of the Green Bay Packers football team. The term may have originated after World War II when Illinoisans ( State illinois) began calling Wisconsinites "cheeseheads" as a derogatory term to mock their perceived obsession with cheese. The term may also have originated from a schoolyard insult used to call someone dense or an idiot. However, the term has since become a badge of honor that Wisconsin natives proudly own. It has become an integral part of Wisconsin sports culture, and Green Bay Packers fans often wear wedge-shaped foam "cheesehead" hats that are orange with holes that resemble Swiss cheese.

Wow, thank you very much. I have to admit my first thought was of a huge cheese-tasting club

Corn, $5.00 a doz from a farm that I drive by not far from here, and yellow!
Unfortunately, underwhelming. And I wanted yellow corn. Every place that sells around here has a container with a slot to put your $ in.
There are other sellers closer, so I'll try supersweet next doz.
TOR, I'd say you have a GREAT spot across from a grocery store to sell your corn. And love that hat!
I let my new 9 hens out in the yard yesterday for the first time. Hesitant at first, but later in the day were out more.
Two of them still would rather roost in the run, so after most are on the roost, I've been picking up and putting them through the poop door and shutting it. They'll eventually get it.
Working in the garage I heard some strange noises out back so I went to look and saw Cooper all excited that something was in his doghouse.
And of course a chicken came out. Put her back in the yard.

Some people put their corn in carts side road not covered and direct sun and heat wrecks the corn.

Great explanation of a cheesehead TOR! I also love the hat and agree with EE that you have an excellent location. I'm sure the grocery store doesn't sell much corn when you are parked in front selling. I would also keep it simple and profitable without all the hassle and added cost.

Stay safe ... bigz

Happy August, everyone! Sure loved the few cool days up here last week, compared to the high temps earlier. Saw some Maples are turning already, and we have a fern that is already yellow.

Our older girls are 14-months old now. Is this a sign of their first molt?

Id think she is starting to molt.

 

[bigzio]

It's possible Badger farm that is the start of molt, although if she is being serviced by a rooster then he could be leaving tracks on her back.
The molt can be light or heavy, however my experience is that the first molt is usually light and not as severe as an almost balding molt can be with older hens.

Stay Safe ... bigz

Super fun and easy to make, only takes like two hours.
A simple pleasure.

Warm curds in whey is just unbelievably good.

My friend sells fresh Guernsey milk from her small herd so that’s how I got the milk.

May I ask what a Cheesehead is?
