The Ontario Farm Animal Council and the Canadian National Exhibition (CNE) today announced that they are challenging members of the media to be farmers for a day.

Ron Douglas, CNE Farm Superintendent and farmer, was quoted as saying,

"We are challenging the media to milk a cow, feed chickens, shear sheep and plant crops at this years’ CNE. We are also inviting them to bring their children along so that they can be one step closer to understanding what life on the farm is like in this day and age."

Great idea. But in addition to proper facilities, I really hope the organizers encourage and insist on proper sanitation and explain why. This from the U.S. CDC should help.
