Connie Weaver, distinguished professor and head of the food and nutrition department, found that the bones of rats fed nonfat dry milk were longer, wider, more dense and stronger than those of rats fed a diet with calcium carbonate. Calcium carbonate is the most common form of calcium used in calcium-fortified foods and supplements.

Experienced organic dairy farmers discussed their operations at the recent Minnesota Organic Conference in St. Cloud. To the surprise of many in attendance, they described relatively few problems with managing the herd compared to managing soils and weeds on their organic acres.
