Farm Journal logo

 

To highlight the drought in California and promote water conservation, national radio host and dairy farmer Doug Stephan accepted the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge but used iced milk instead. He challenges Mancow Muller, Don Imus, Bill Bennett and Uri Geller. Watch the scene take place on Stephan’s Eastleigh Farm this morning while live on air in Framingham, Mass. here

 

While speaking with ALS President and CEO Barbara Newhouse on the show today, she revealed that she grew up on a farm and therefore endorsed Stephan’s use of milk in the challenge.
