Dairyman took part in the agricultural topic using its scale model of a dairy farm. This miniature farm is the good way to teach students how dairy farmers manage their herds in the stable and on the grasslands; how they deal with the environment (managing with rivers, ponds, hedges, trees, etc.); how they produce energy (thanks to the wind); how they improve soil fertility (with organic manure and slurry spreading); how they increase their autonomy by producing their own cereals and how they sell their milk at a small scale with a milk distributor.
