I have been a Dairy farmer for over 35 years now, started out in a rented barn with 15 Holstein cows and two Surge bucket milkers, I was 20. Now all these many years later our barn ties 105 , and I have Bou-matic auto take-off milkers , that run on a track.Milk goes into the pipeline , and away to the tank. We started to buy a few Jersey cows in 1995, and sold off the last of our black and whites in 2004. I have been very lucky that I found a wife that will not only put up with me ,but likes the cows . She goes with me to the barn every morning, before leaving for her day job.What a trooper! Our 28 year old son is with me full time on the farm, so there is no immediate end in sight. Always loved the barn , the cows and the farm in general, and have been blessed with good physical health . Some folks complain about their childhood on the farm , or chew about being tied to the cows. The life of a Dairy farmer can be tough at times , but the rewards of doing what you love to do far out way the hardships. And it sure don't hurt any if your wife feels the same way. You don't have to be crazy to be a dairy farmer , but if you are , it sure helps. Bruce

I worked as a machinist and engine erector, with time spent overseas. I have always had a love for machinery, and an appreciation for farming and farm machinery. I was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. Not a place one would associate with farms or farm machinery. I credit my parents for instilling a lot of good values, a respect for learning, a knowledge of various skills and a little knowledge of farming in me, amo
