Milking Facilities
The Preble County Agricultural Society will make every effort to provide exhibitors with satisfactory facilities for milking and the handling of milk at the fair. The milking parlor is an exhibit which draws spectators and is great public relations tool for the dairy industry. Your cooperation in helping to keep the parlor and cattle clean is important. We are fortunate that milk sold from the fair meets Grade A standards. Therefore, we cannot accept milk from the barns. All milk is tested for antibiotics before it is shipped. Individual producers' samples may be checked for the presence of antibiotics. Any exhibitors supplying milk for which antibiotics are found will be held financially responsible for any milk that would have to be discarded.
Dairy Promotion
We look forward to servicing you at the fair and wish you success. Have an enjoyable fair and lets make a favorable impression, it sells more milk and dairy products.
