- The small farmers have churns. All the churns are about twenty inches high. The churns are about forty eight inches high. The churns are about fifty years old.
The parts of churn are:- Small vent for letting in air, mouthpiece for taking out the butter, big vent for taking out the butter.
The butter is made once a week in every season. The farmer does the churning.
