An old school 16mm film showing the Farming Dairy Industry from 1942. The audio is slightly rough, but still fine. How does this compare with dairy farms today?
I was raised on a farm, but I must of been doing something wrong, i had had cow manure, dirt, grease, dust from hay etc... on me.. This guy has a spotless Dr's. Suit on!
@@SK-tr9ii Thats what I was thinking. I grew up milking cows. It was not a grade A dairy but we always milked 12-15 cows twice a day and we didn't wear white suits either. Back in the early 70's the diary industry was having some real problems. My dad said that he was listening to Paul Harvey one day and he was telling about some house wife somewhere that said " I think all of the dairymen should get out of the buisness and get their milk at Safeway like I do". Well Duuuuhh.
I really appreciate you uploading this :) I've recently gotten really into researching the history of the dairy industry and the societal aspects. This is interesting to watch :]
SuperKlean just released the best dairy nozzle for udder sanitation. It also lasts longer than other dairy nozzles and is making cows healthier and happier from better and faster udder sanitation. Dairy farmers are loving it.
There around 26 million Dairy cattle, bulls, lactating cows, dry cows, calves, etc. sounds like a lot right? Well what If I told you there is over 120 million dairy livestock in the United States alone today? I work with some of the largest operations in the state of Idaho, number three in Dairy production and the numbers keep climbing. We also have close to 8 billion people so keep that in mind.
And yet back then there was thousands to millions of small scale farms, today its the opposite majority of the small scale farms are/ been out of business due to high taxes/ prices in general/ sometimes the kids don't take over the business.

Use to be a great industry to be a part of until Yankees and unions with their government leaches n industrial dairies!!!! Totally destroyed people's lively hoods in other places!!!! My childhood neighbor was one of em, and he was dairyman of the state every single year!!! I worked for him from 12 till graduating, shortly after these union farmers put him and thousands of others outa business!!!
