Wrong.
You live in a world where stereotypes rule. Sad, but true. I have lived in rural areas and I've milked a cow (waaay back early teens). We're not all so ignorant as you believe us all to be, but you are -- al that ignorant

Again, you are trolling and not responding to the story/news item.The H2b progrsm can be used to hire foreign farm workers

When you people get stuck-on-stupid, it's like superglue on fingers and thumb.
maybe revisit starting @ the OP:
On the farms themselves, the question of status is complicated. The O’Harrows have an I-9 federal work form filled out for every person on their staff, as called for by federal law. The form requires work authorization and identity documents, which can include a Social Security card and a driver’s license.
But workers can buy such documents on the black market. And while some states, like Wisconsin, do not issue driver’s licenses to undocumented immigrants, others, like neighboring Minnesota and Illinois, do, and employers can legally accept them.
Federal rules do not require farmers to be immigration sleuths. If an applicant’s documents “reasonably appear to be genuine,” the rules say, then they should be accepted. And penalties can be imposed if employers reject an applicant or their documents on the basis of a foreign-sounding name or accent.

Tim added cows, but soon had difficulty finding enough workers to care for them. It was hard and repetitive work, with long shifts that started before dawn, including on weekends. No one wanted to do it for what he could afford to pay, which at the time was several dollars above minimum wage. He hired students, single men, working mothers, people from a prison probation program.
“They would call five minutes before milking time, and say, ‘I’m not going to make it,’” Tim said. “Well, who’s going to milk the cows? We’re trying to run a business. It just wasn’t working.”
In 1999, the farm’s head herdsman went to a meeting about the labor problem. One dairyman recommended Mexican workers.
“He said, ‘Don’t talk about it, just do it,’” Tim recalled.
Eight days later, two workers signed on. The O’Harrows never looked back.

snippet:
Immigrant Workers Arrive
The O’Harrow farmworker who has been training Sullivan starts at 4 a.m., six days a week. He oversees the daily operation and the 39 workers as they tend the calves, keep the cows moving through the milking parlors, and feed them in the long barn, where, on this morning, two women were administering vaccines, even as the shots kept freezing in the cold.Joel O’Harrow, Tim’s son, runs the farm. By 6 a.m., he is at the office — a repurposed building with an empty swimming pool in the middle — and starts handling problems. On this morning, he needed to make a decision about an older farmhand who had stopped working, because of trouble with his eyesight, but was still being paid.
The dairy industry is one of the most dependent on undocumented workers, according to David Bier, an immigration expert at the Cato Institute. Visas are available for farm work, but only if it is seasonal. Rank-and-file dairy workers do not qualify because of the year-round demands, despite the industry’s efforts to get them included.
A 2023 study by the School for Workers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison found that more than 10,000 undocumented immigrants perform roughly 70 percent of the labor on the state’s dairy farms.
Do you understand economics ?
I'm suspecting you don't.
You appear as one of those ignorant left-winger that is clueless on wealth creation, money, how business runs, etc.
Labor is one of the costs involved in making a product or service. Increase what you pay for labor and that expense gets passed on into the cost of your product. Pay dairy workers more in wages and price of milk will have to increase.
No more than you parrot many of the Left-wing antifa-ers here.Somebody should compare your IPs
Maybe in the same household...
You do seem to be parroting each other with talking points that do not address the OP

My mom has about 800 acres she rents out to a very good farmer. That guy has teens begging him for a job. The ones he does hire are great kids, hard working.
