THE LUNCH ON THE DAIRY FARM WAS FROM 1 UNTIL 4 THIS AFTERNOON.
GREAT TURNOUT!     NANCY AND I  ARRIVED AT ABOUT 3 WHEN THE RUSH
WAS OVER.    IT WAS HOSTED BY SCOTT AND TRICIA HOLDGRAFER FOR THE
JACKSON-CLINTON DAIRY ASSOCIATION, A WIND-UP TO JUNE DAIRY MONTH.
HERE ARE TWO OF THE STARS OF THE SHOW TODAY.   THEY WERE WAITING
IN LINE TO BE MILKED.     THE MILKING PARLOR (A DOUBLE UNIT OF 9 MACHINES)
CAN MILK 18 AT A TIME, 3 TIMES EACH DAY.    EACH OF THE 3 SHIFTS TAKES
ABOUT 4 HOURS TO MILK ALL 400 COWS.     THE  HOLDGRAFERS, TO HELP THEM,
HAVE 3 FULLTIME HIRED HANDS, IN ADDITION TO PART TIME EMPLOYEES,
INCLUDING HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS.   CLICK-ON THE PHOTOS TO ENLARGE
THEM.
