| Hey thanks guys for the thoughts back and forth on this issue. I really appreciate how this thread went. I've got Vet coming this morning to do herd health on milk cows. So got to get going, but I think we all have some great answers and questions to this problem. If I was going to tell a young person getting into dairy today, they need to get into a college or program that teaches Robots. Sadly our local land grant college did away with their dairy herdsman's program in Utah, but get this they are putting Robots in their dairy. Now if that don't frost your butt, taxpayers dollars to put equipment in that will cut jobs. Yet we can't teach our kids the systems or how to work on them!
prfarms, the problem with H2-A guest worker programs is they aren't designed to really work for dairy. On dairy you need long term employees of a 2-3 years if you could. The current programs are designed for fruit and vegetable production workers, very short term workers. In cattle and dairy it would be a lot nicer to have longer work/length of stays for workers.
But sadly any and every program the government gets their hands on they mess it up. Don't look them to ever fix anything.
Thanks guys. | |
