This is part of the Wednesday Webinar series that sponsored by school nutrition programs in Helena and the funding for this event is from a 2017 team nutrition grant that was awarded to the office of public instruction so it looks like we're a pretty small group today and with that being said, it's also a good time for us to just give a shout out to the school food service staff that are working so hard to serve meals to students all over our state during this time of high stress and stress for our health and our jobs, but I think it's really an important time that kids are eating really well so that they can stay healthy in their immune system is strong as it can be so while we don't have a lot of people on today. We are recording this so it will be available. First, people to watch after and that'll be a nice opportunity to get the recipes and do some professional development, when you have time to do that. So, the first thing we like to do is ask you all to sign in.

And he has been doing harvest of the month and farm to school for quite a long time. And he's excellent at what he does, so he'll be sharing that information with us. We have three simple goals or things that would like to do Montana Farm to School | www.montana.edu/mtfarmtoschool 1 on this web and are today and those are easy tips to get started with harvest of the month, ways to introduce or tips or techniques that you can incorporate some harvest of the month foods into your monthly menus and then discover how harvest of the month recipes can be used in your main line salad bars or grab and go menus to really increase some variety in your menus.

We have Flathead cherries, beef, winter squash, another beef and other Flathead Cherries. So, all of those are good. MOLLY: I love all of those things.

Alright, I'll I'm going to turn it over now to Sarah. She's going to walk us through just to give us a quick review of the Montana harvest of the month program is. SARAH PENIX: Next slide Molly, please. So, Montana harvest of the month is a program that brings together the farm to school core elements and in easy to use framework. The goal of harvest of the month is to support healthy Montana children and adults and support Montana's farmers, ranchers, processors and food businesses. Next slide, please each month, a different Montana grown or raised food is featured our goal is to change the calendar every year and add one new item each year. Brassicas, the plant family that includes cabbage broccoli Brussels sprouts and many others, is new this year. Next slide, please, Molly. Harvest of the month is currently open to K through 12 schools and afterschool programs summer food service programs. Early care and education, such as preschools and daycares, health care institutions and businesses and communities, including grocery stores and food pantries. Next slide please. Participating sites will do the following for things and I will dive into those now. First, participating sites will form a team. It can include parents, producers, community organizations, MSU extension agents, SNAP-ed. educators and more. Forming a team is done during registration and it must include an administrator school nutrition professional and educator are, but we recommend including community organizations, SNAP-ed and extension as well as other community members like parents and students. And then a site must have a team lead who serves as the main point of contact. Next, participating sites will showcase Montana harvest of the month each month. With serving harvest of the month foods in school meals, there is a variety of producers that schools can procure. From here is an example of western Montana's grower growers, cooperative and shredded beets, which are February's harvest of the month food. Here is an example of how those beets look in school meals. This is an example from Whitefish School District and the meal features beet ketchup and beet hummus. Next, in June, Polson School District sent students Montana Farm to School | www.montana.edu/mtfarmtoschool 2 bagged lunches featuring locally sourced leafy greens and homemade vinaigrette to continue harvest of the month during unprecedented summer meals. So with adding the flyer in the meals, they continued the promotion of harvest of the month. Next participating sites will have educational activities and here is an example of an educational activity from Bozeman. Activity suggestions are provided in the Classroom Bites handouts, but sites can do whatever education activities make sense for them. It could be as simple as reading fun facts or showing one of the harvest of the month videos available on our YouTube channel. Next, sites will have taste tests each month, so here's an example of Livingston doing taste test voting for the harvest of the month food carrots. Taste tests can be conducted in the cafeteria or classroom or whatever works for your site. It works best to pair taste tests with an educational activity to engage students. It should use the tried it liked it, loved it. Voting method. This collect collecting votes can be done this way in many other ways through charts and stickers or tally marks. During Covid school closures, some sites did taste tests at home by sending home information and taste tests. Here, students in Lewistown sample local beef sticks for beef month in May. Next, participating sites will promote harvest of the month. You can do this through the posters harvest of the month materials are sent to sites upon registration but if your site is interested in more harvest of the month posters or are not yet registered, posters are available for purchase through MSU extension. Here is an example of a mixed promotional methods and this is an excellent example of the provided materials and artwork from staff and students to creatively promote harvest of the month. Next and then the harvest of the month materials upon signing up for harvest of the month. Sites are provided with three handouts for each food include that include fun facts, agricultural and gardening information, and cooking information. The cafeteria bytes handout is forceful nutrition professionals and includes recipes, quantity recipes with National School Lunch Program credit information next. The classroom bites are also included.

EVIDENCE is seen at every hand that farmers are pulling more profit out of their acres with power and machines that put more accomplishment into every working day. in¬ creasing production and reducing costs- When you turn to power farming, take your tip from the widespread popularity of McCormick-Deering equipment. Your neighbors are making money with McCormick-Deering tractors and machines. Talk to one or more of these owners about the economy, long life, full 4-cylinder power, and easy operation of their McCormick-Deering tractors. If possible, climb on a Mc¬ Cormick-Deering yourself and pilot it over the soil. Your ex¬ perience will prove an eye-opener. McCormick-Deering tractor power, and the big capacity machines that go with it, will work a magic transformation in all important operations. During the coming weeks think of crop production in terms of modern power farming. Figure what it means to save a day here and a week there as the season progresses. Think of the advantages of doing more thorough work while doing it in less time than ever before. INTERNATIONAL HARVESTER COMPANY OF CANADA, LTD.

About Gregory Ashe. I want to say so much more but this is one of those books where if you say too much you'll spoil it for everyone and I don't want to do that. Again, rushed and could def have worked out better. It's, I suppose, perfect. Views Read Edit View history. Guilty: when half the hive swarmed. I promise to spend the rest of my life trying to make you happy, which I know includes picking up my socks and learning how to properly make brisket and, as of today, finishing the patio. They will be hours well spent. Help Learn to edit Community portal Recent changes Upload file. So as you can see I was completely blown away again by this author. Wild, native bee species that do not produce honey are less recognizable but vital pollinators. Title: The Keeper of the Bees Stratton-Porter seeks to illuminate the bonds that connect us all, that make us human, and she succeeds wonderfully. As Hazard and Somers race to prevent more deaths, Hazard fears they are already too late; the Keeper of Bees has been ahead of them the whole time. On the plus side, he did eventually seek help and ended up finding a good therapist for his PTSD, so I guess moving forward we can see an improvement in that behaviour.
