Nicole Duvall has been operating the Mobile Dairy Classroom out of Madison, Ga. for the past 10 years. She travels all across the state to schools, libraries and public events to educate kids and adults alike about the ins and outs of running a dairy farm. “This is kind of a community outreach, because we can go to schools for free…for the schools to go, you know, most of them it cost something,” Duvall said. “A lot of schools only get like two or three field trips a year and to certain places so this is just - it works out good for our school systems.” Kids at the Dawson County Satellite Library on June 18 couldn’t contain their excitement when Duvall pulled up to where they were seated under a tent and opened up the side door of a trailer to reveal Jasmine, a three-year-old brown cow ready to be milked.
