“The smell of pine needles, spruce and the smell of a Christmas tree, those to me, are the scents of the holidays.” ~Blake Lively

Many, but not all, conifers are evergreens and have needles or scale leaves (red and white cedar).

There are other evergreens, too, including some of the ferns, club mosses and mosses, which work as a short-term display.

South Central DHI has unveiled its roster of top cows through July.

The No. 1 Holstein by cheese yield was O-1822 from Bells Udder Farm in Camp Douglas. She produced 43,463 pounds of milk that tested at 3.8 percent and 4402 cheese yield.
