Not many dairy farms anywhere near that size here in Canada. There are some 250-500 cow farms, but the average is still around 80 cows. Our numbers are a little less cows than the average size dairy in Canada. We have zero employees. Lots of farms are going to robotic milking systems. When I started dairying 40 years ago the average farm was 30 cows and there were 15,500 dairy farms in Ontario. Now there are some 3,400 dairy farmers in Ontario, and they produce about twice the amount of milk per cow.

In other words, there is many easier ways to make a buck than milking cows.

It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
