Valuable Coupon sion for their livelihoods and in
producing wholesome, nutritious
dairy products for people of all
ages to enjoy.
Nutrient-rich dairy foods are
one of the most economical sources
of nutrition. In fact, few foods
deliver dairy's powerhouse of
nutrients in such an affordable,
appealing and readily available
way. The 2010 Dietary Guidelines
for Americans encourages children
and adults nine years and older to
enjoy three servings of low-fat or
fat-free milk, cheese or yogurt
every day. And at about 25 cents
per glass, milk provides one of the
richest sources of well-absorbed
calcium in the American diet.
Even with all of the time con-
straints that come along with sum-
mer activities, it is important to
remember to have nutritious
meals throughout the day.

more about dairy farmers and the
dairy industry, plus get nutrition
tips and more delicious dairy
recipes.
Dairy Fast Facts
• 98 percent of all U.S. dairy
farms are family owned.
• Typically it takes two days to
get from the farm to the grocery
store.
• There are dairy farms in all
50 U.S. states and Puerto Rico.
• It takes 3 cups of broccoli to
equal the calcium in one cup of
milk.
• An 8-ounce serving of low-fat
plain yogurt contains 490 mil-
ligrams of potassium; about the
same as a banana.
• One ounce of hard cheese
(like Cheddar) contains 8 grams
of protein; an egg contains 6
grams.

DNR to restore natural plant
community along Paul
Bunyan State Trail
A project that will restore native plant
communities and help ensure safety along
the Paul Bunyan State Trail between Pine
River and Backus begins Monday, May 16,
and will continue through the first week in
June, according to the Minnesota
Department of Natural Resources (DNR).
The trail will remain open while this
work is being done, but trail users should
exercise caution around the crews and their
equipment.
The goal of the project is to restore a dry
oak-aspen-pine woodland plant community
by reducing the density of existing jack
pine thickets in some areas.
“This central Minnesota plant communi-
ty is dependent on disturbance, so tools like
cutting – and possibly prescribed burning
in the future – are used to restore and
maintain the diversity and integrity of the
plant community,” said Angela Anderson,
resource specialist for the DNR’s Division
of Parks and Trails.
The project also will help ensure safe
conditions along the trail. Areas will be
thinned to create better visibility for opera-
tors of cars and recreation vehicles.
Funding provided by the Clean Water,
Land and Legacy Amendment made it pos-
sible to start needed natural resources
management on the Paul Bunyan State
Trail, which is paved for more than 100
miles between Brainerd and Bemidji and
still has good quality native plant commu-
nities within its right-of-way, Anderson
said.
Conservation Corps Minnesota is doing
the work under the supervision of the
Natural Resources Management Program
of the Division of Parks and Trails. Crews
will work their way south along a nine-mile
segment of the Paul Bunyan State Trail,
starting in Backus.

www.mndnr.gov or call the DNR
Information Center at 651-296-6157 or toll-
free 888-646-6367 between 8 a.m. and 4:30
p.m. Monday through Friday.
