Demanding Work on the Dairy Farm

Demanding Work on the Dairy Farm

My paternal grandparents Ed & Mary were dairy farmers and had an enormous garden. Cows have to be milked twice a day every day. No holidays! By the time grandpa would get all the cows milked early in the morning grandma would have a huge breakfast spread out on the country kitchen table. The labor was so demanding they both worked up quite an appetite by 8 a.m.
