the book "Men to Remember"

Who remembers the dairies and dairy farmers that have long since given way to the smelly commercial mega farms that have 1,000 head of cattle or more on one farm। This was the thought I had as I read through the book "Men to Remember"। I grew up on a farm in the mid-west and remember the kids from the Dairy farm getting on the school bus because they had that pungent dairy smell that only comes from a dairy farm। Nobody thought much about it or teased them about it, it was just the way things were। The kids were clean and the farms had to be clean in order to get a high milk grade but that smell just seemed to cling to a persons clothes. I kind of miss it now like something nostalgic that will never be again. It is sad to drive past and old dairy barn that is falling down and think about the hard work, life and love that went into producing milk. One friend joked that when he grew up he was going to invent a 6 day-a-week cow so he could get Sundays off. Cows have to be milked everyday that they are giving milk otherwise they go dry. This hard work is one of the reasons young people left the farm that paid little and demanded so much. Land-O-lakes (http://www.landolakesinc.com/corporate/history.asp) the company that this book was written for is still around today producing milk products. The Book "Men to Remember, How 100,000 Neighbors Made History" was written by Kenneth D Ruble around 1947. This book gives a history of the dairy industry in the Midwest from before 1923 until 1946. The author starts off with the history of the dairy cow who was first introduced to Minnesota by Jean-Baptiste Faribault The industry is explained from its earliest roots of back breaking work in a hostile frontier until more modern times of milk production.
