A Republican Farmer Asks ‘Well, Who’s Going to Milk the Cows?’ When those Immigrants form Trump's Shithole Nations are thrown out.

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

nothing like a cold glass of milk with some out of the oven chocolate chips.....

Yep. To make you fat.

yea if you do that a lot...sure....doesnt take away what i said...

 

[westwall]

Moderation. I know, that's a hard concept for people to practice.

But that's what separates adults from children.

There is no reason to be drinking milk if you're not an infant.

The science behind that?

 

[Dante]

Why do you post idiot rubbish? Because you're told to and are too dumb to check out what you're babbling before you race around to boards and parrot that stuff.

how do you hate American farmers by pointing out that machines milk the cows?....

delusional again

I know

He’ a cheapskate who wants to pay slave wages to illegals instead of fair wages to guest workers or Americans

He should look into the federal H2-b program

Wow! He can't get Americans to do back breaking work there. Catch up to reality

 

[Dante]

Some one has to connect the machines to the cows.
Then there are other tasks to prep the milk for market.

If that was all they were doing they would not be needed

but make light of reality

It's all political. It's divisive and it is meant to be. What is? The Immigration Issue. Many Administrations and Congresses had ample opportunity over the last 50 years to address the issue. When one side seeks "comprehensive" reform of immigration policies, the fights begin. It's as if it's a team sport where nobody wants the other side to win.


[ For two decades, Tim O’Harrow, 79, the family patriarch, has tried to persuade politicians he has voted for and donated to — most of them Republican — that they need to fix the nation’s broken immigration system.

But Washington has failed to make any meaningful changes, and Republican voters continue to be anti-immigration, particularly those in Wisconsin, a swing state where 95 percent of Republicans support mass deportation, according to a recent poll by Marquette University Law School.

That has left the O’Harrows in an uncomfortable place — stuck between what they see as an obvious truth, that immigrants are essential to America’s food supply, and a national political mood hurtling in the other direction.

And now, after generations of feeling at home in the Republican Party, the O’Harrows feel politically homeless.

“I don’t know that I’m a Republican anymore,” Tim said. “I don’t know what we are anymore.” ]

Cows are milked by machines

Mother's breast milk, maybe. (Which is usually a bit sweet )
The economics of my post still apply. Not just to milk, but any product that involves labor to produce.
Guess my wife must be an infant. Or my school grandkids also.
Milk is a common ingredient in many recipes, we cooks find it useful. It's also handy for making cheese.
BTW, not just cow's, but goat's milk as well.

Put your brain in gear, if you have one.
Focus of my post should be obvious even to persons where English is a second language.

As mentioned in earlier post, humans connect the machines to the cows.
Humans are needed to feed, tend, and herd cows as well. Often bale hay is another dairy task.

Well, I guess he can vote democrat from now and vote for the people who would want to take away his cows…with cow farts contributing to global warming and all..

And he can’t plant crops because…tractors spew out carbon emissions.


I guess he can sell the land to the government for wind farms…

how do you hate American farmers by pointing out that machines milk the cows?....

It was 5 a.m. and five degrees above zero on the O’Harrow dairy farm, and two workers, men from Honduras, moved down rows of outdoor hutches pouring steaming milk into buckets for mooing calves. A third followed in the darkness with a flashlight, looking for babies that did not drink, a sign of illness.

That worker, who came from Mexico as a teenager, knew that a calf that was sick in the morning could be dead by evening. He knew this because he has worked in the dairy industry in Wisconsin for his entire adult life, and on this family farm for about 20 years. Now in his 40s, he has mastered the intricacies of milking, birthing and inseminating, and logging it all onto a computer. This February morning, he was passing down his knowledge to the 19-year-old grandson of the family who employs him.

“We’re a little bit behind today, so you can hear everybody’s kind of angry at us,” said Sullivan O’Harrow, the grandson, who motioned toward the bellowing calves as he walked beside the worker training him.

Immigrant workers are the lifeblood of the O’Harrow farm, a four-generation family enterprise with 1,600 cows in northeastern Wisconsin. But many of them will not travel to Mexico to see dying parents, or drive to nearby towns to visit siblings, or let journalists use their names in newspapers, because they are afraid of being swept up in the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown.

...

That they need to hide strikes the O’Harrow family as morally wrong, but also as potentially bad for the country: These workers oversee America’s milk. By one estimate, dairies that employ immigrant workers produce 79 percent of the nation’s milk supply and the price of milk would double without them.
