Update on Clover Grace and Foods Resource Bank Clover Grace is a really remarkable cow.

From April to October she produced 29,810 lbs of milk, which is 3,466 gallons and 55, 460 cups. This is enough for about 3 glasses of milk per child in our church for a full year! The value of Clover Grace’s milk after subtracting labor expenses and feed costs is $1294.67. Clover Grace’s caretakers at SunBurst Dairy donated that to our Foods Resource Bank project this year. Please sign a Thank-you card in the back of the sanctuary and consider making a donation to the FRB project. Currently, we have not identified a partner farmer for 2012 so we are planning to send all funds on to the Cambodia South project in early March. The combined contributions over the past five years from Zwingli UCC in Paoli, Washington Reformation UCC in Monticello, and First Congregational UCC in Madison to this project is almost $16,000. Thanks for your support of farming in Wisconsin and South Cambodia.
