Scandinavian girls adjust to Wisconsin dairy life on exchange
Leena Talaja of Finland and Madeleine Arderup of Sweden live on two Wisconsin dairy farms as part of the American Scandinavian Student Exchange. They learn barn work, adjust to American food and transportation, and travel to places like California and Disney World while dispelling myths about American farm life. The year strengthens cross cultural understanding between host families in Chippewa Falls and Abbotsford and their visitors.
