ORONO – The University of Maine Cooperative Extension will offer training in Orono to individuals who want to help out Maine’s dairy farmers by joining the Relief Milker System.

A relief milker can step in to milk a dairy herd and give a farmer a break from chores that have to be done every day. Cows in Maine need to be milked two to three times a day.

The class will be held Oct. 25 at the Witter Animal Science Center. Preregistration is required, and class size is limited. The fee is $15 and includes lunch. To register or for more information, call 1-800-287-7170.
