'Local workers' won't do this dirty job

Forty one percent of dairy farm workers are foreign born, so it's no surprise Mike McMahon -- who pays his workers $9 per hour to milk his cows -- is paying close attention to what the 2016 presidential candidates have to say about immigration.

Remember when it was Family Farms. They did the work themselves. Instead now we have one large corporate Farm.

[@jKLa]

Corporate CAFO's (consentrated animal feeding operations) still hire vast numbers of mostly white US born workers across the South, Texas, Midwest, grate plains, and parts of the interior west. The conditions are awful but the majority of all US livestock workers are US born. California, the northeast, some parts of Texas (Not Texas as a whole though) are the major exceptions to this, with their heavily migrant livestock workforces. Elsewhere there is still a concentration of immigrant workers in these occupations but they are not predominant.

[@bobsuszka1159]

I did this for 11 years as a herdsman. I got out of it because of my health. I have more benefits cooking than I ever did farming. Farming is financial abuse. Their expansions have bankruptcy written in them and at the end of the day, their income is 40-60 cows. I don't miss checks being late. I don't miss having bills overdue. I made more money working in a kitchen than I did in a barn. I cook 45 to 55 hours a week. I farmed 60-80 hours a week.

[@frederickcampana5717]

That there is the problem. Once someone gets in here legally they go from the farm to the kitchen or something else. Close the boarder, come up with a number or workers needed, post the jobs, and fill the gap on a workers visa.

[@saxyvi]

This is an easy solution to get businesses / farmers all the workers they need: 1) Businesses in need of migrant labor apply with e-verify. 2) Businesses prove that U.S. citizens were given an opportunity to apply for vacancies. 3) Businesses submit to Homeland Security (DHS) a list indicating type, number, and salary of available jobs. 4) DHS encourage migrants to apply for guest worker visas. Number of visas issued will equal the number of jobs available. DHS also matches the workers with the jobs according to skills. 5) Have guest workers check in with DHS every 6 months to ensure they are working. If they leave a job, they need to inform DHS so they can get reassigned. They will forfeit their visa and be subject to deportation if after 30 days they fail to inform DHS and therefore not legally working. 6) DHS regularly checks these businesses with e-verify and site visits to ensure that all their workers have proper and up-to-date documentation. Fine these companies if not in compliance. 7) DHS helps worker without a valid guest worker visa to obtain one (the business obviously needed them or they wouldn’t have been hired). No company or farmer would be in need of workers when DHS channels eligible workers to them. They wouldn’t hire undocumented migrants if they know they would get fined. No worker would try to enter illegally if the application process for a visa was easy and was assured of a job once she / he obtained a visa. Border patrol can now focus on the criminals who might want to enter illegally. No wall will stop them. They have tunnels, trucks, planes, and submarines. Using this solution, hard-working migrant workers and their families win. The farmers and other businesses win. Border patrol win (less work to do). DHS wins. They will be able to keep track of the vast majority of migrant workers. Last but not least, American taxpayers win because there’s no need to build an expensive and useless wall.

T.R. Plume well angry or not. Firstly I’m European not American. It’s the same here in Europe. I milk cows myself 6am to 6 pm. Advertise for help no one wants to help. The social security pays too well. And we have the same yaping people here in Europe too. Tax payers pay the lazy farmers too much in subsidy. Little do they know that only certain types of farms get tax money. Milk -yes. Beef -yes cereal -yes. Pig poultry vegetable - no. And many more besides. The truth is Western Europeans won’t work as its hard dirty work. The only reason your not a farmer is because there are farmers. If not you’d be out growing your own food. Why if farmers are so well wet nursed as you claim is farmers in the western world in permanent decline. Less and less are prepared to work on farms but sure if it’s so profitable why don’t you start farming. Let me guess lazy shits don’t do manual.

[@jonathanmcaleece9834]

T.R. Plume I also believe in free market however can you really have free market in food production? Supply and demand you’ll quote. However what happens when there’s a severe weather event that destroy crops. Or a new animal disease,or a war that severely curtails production and prices escalate to the point where the poor in society can’t afford to buy it. Do they just starve. Because that’s truly market forces. I’m a capatlist however I do believe that there are people in society that do need help. If true market forces was to be let loose on food production again the true poor would starve. It’s something that’s very hard to answer. If we lived in a true market economy it would just be a case of let the poor die not something I’d want. It’s worth remembering we here in Europe starved when ww2 was taking place. I know it’s 70 years ago but it happened. 30 years ago China starved. Wars happen disease happens. The truth is these illegals that you talk about are there to earn money to help their family’s and if you remark they aren’t sitting behind a computer or stuck in an office with air conditioning. They’re out in the shit doing jobs that Americans won’t do. It’s exactly the same here in Europe our own people won’t do shitty jobs.

All we want is immigration fixed so we can get workers LEGALLY. Using the immigration debate to score political points hurts you with price and availability of the product and hurts the producers livelihood. We want legal workers that come on visas or come across legally. Period. Make them follow immigration rules as we follows our country’s rules. That’s why we want the wall, as a metaphor, to make it legal. If we value the trades we’ll have trade workers.

That poor baby calf chained up in a crate when it should be with its mother. The Dairy Industry is nothing but a life of hell for these beautiful intelligent animals. Stop supporting Animal cruelty, slavery, rape and murder.

Don't milk so many cows that you need extra workers,only milk what you can handle.

[@luisrasgado9160]

You have a idea of how many gallons of milk are needed a day in USA? Milk cheese ice cream etc etc

[@michtierradetalentos]

Un legal but never want to work in farm for 9 dollars an hour farmers are crazy

[@nymbus4376]

I worked with pigs and cows and worked a tomato field growing up. I understand fully how these jobs are. The smell is difficult to adjust to at first but over the first month you eventually go nose blind to it and heat and cold can be hard on the body but eventually you adapt and really toughen up with it. It's honest good work but sadly most people and kids are raised to believe these jobs are absolutely beneath them that it will ruin their life or is a dead end but its not.

If the millenials won't do the job, let the job not be done. When people get hungry enough they would do it. Let's bring back the 1930's?

[@hankterreros223]

and here in "Cali"(mexico) all the dairy workers are from central america. All the local workers cross the border everyday to take these jobs nobody wants but, but allows them to live a middle-class lifestyle in mexico. retired border brother(11 year anniv.) \\//,

All field Legal Migrant field workers are punishing farmers of the States that harvest fruit trees, row fruit crops, and vegetables because of their insistence to hire cheap farm labor.

[@davidmarks5400]

I worked on dairy farms as a teenager. The smell of cows,hay,and corn silage is something I haven't smelled in years. I can't understand why the narrator is making it sound like farm smells are terrible. If I could go back,I'd do it again just for the smells. I don't like the smell of pigs however. I'm american born and raised, it was good work for a teen who was too young to get a "regular"type job.During school,I worked weekends, after school,and throughout the summers. The pay is not at the highest level,but I loved it.

[@mrali2168]

I am qualified veterinarian in Pakistan.I have worked in large dairy farm herd of 5000 animals.I did every type of work here including at milking parlour also.Here is very low pay only 250Us dollar per month and duty was from 7am till 6pm plus night calls also.People like me just want work of every type but with respect.

willcable1 agreed

[@theopinion9452]

ok,so are you willing to pay $15 for a galon of milk to make whatever you think you should be paid?..how much you think should be your salary while doing this kind of work?

[@mayac.1345]

This is something that can be talked about and can be made into a compromise. Firstly, the report is just talking about one family which do not represent the the whole milking farm community. Second of all, if the price do go up, no one will buy. So farmers will have no choice but to bring the prices down as that's because its dictated by the market. Thirdly, if there are smaller local milk farmer businesses all over, prices can still go down.

[@theopinion9452]

@@mayac.1345 Ok,so what would be your salary then?

[@mayac.1345]

Mario Soto I wouldn't know cause I haven't gone in farm country in America. I haven't looked into the laws and the companies that make American milk. There are so mamy factors to consider into answering your question. But just to answer your question cause I think its a question where you either have a follow up or a question to lambast my opinion, so be it. Ill go 8-10 dollars an hour with profit sharing. That is if the owner of the milk farm or the board are actually generous enough to do such thing.

[@JlLevy]

These farmers are very ones who voted for tough immigration laws- vote for gop policies- who do they think they’re kidding? This is what they get.

[@keithcorey9125]

Sad thing is is dairy farmers don't want to milk there own cows anymore get rid of illegal and we wouldn't be dumping 40 million gallons a day any the price farmers get paid for there milk would go up

'Local workers' won't do this dirty job for a dirty old dog biscuit. Mexican's will. That's a good thing to a Democrat.

I do this and I'm 15. I'm kinda glad it's my first job because if it's apparently the worst, I think I'd do well with a different job in the future. lol

[@kansasthunderman1]

Milking cows is not the worst job you can have. I worked as an industrial electronics tech for San Francisco's transit agency and everything was severely mismanaged and unorganized. Even though I was a technician, most of the work was grunt labor that should have been done by the track department. Enjoy your farm job because it's really better than you think.

[@Ethan-ck6iz]

kansasthunderman1 well there was a vote in my area for “the worst job” and dairy farmer was on number one. Should have said that before; that’s what my statement ran off of.

[@carryclass6807]

another load of lies. pay adequate wages and you will get more than enough workers to do these jobs. i live in a very very very modest house, and at double those wages i could not buy or rent my house. i drive a 21 year old car. when we add in the amount we subsidize the unemployed and underemployed, we are paying a lot more for food now. we just don't know it. as far as the job being gross, i run a health care facility, and believe me, nurses, nursing assistants, etc do far "grosser" jobs than this. dentists deal with far "grosser" issues.

[@danielzuniga955]

carryclass, are you willing to pay three times more for food on your table? If so, your thought is very reasonable.

[@carryclass6807]

re read my comment, i already addressed your concerns. we ALREADY pay three times as much.

[@jimnowak3960]

We have to have the Mexican labor, whites, blacks and other Americans are not going to do this work for any amount of money. They don't want to get dirty or have to bend over. Or smell poop. I worked for the College of Veterinary Medicine for 24 years before I retired. Manly with large animals. Just to name a few bison, several varieties of deer, cattle, sheep, goats, hogs and horses every day come rain or shine. They have to be fed and cleaned every day. It's hard work.

If you feel like doing this kind of job for the right amount of money do you feel like paying the right amount of money for the product that you produce someone has to pay the price if you double up the expenses for the same amount of production.

[@LionofJudah75]

Fine...as long as they came here legally... hire as many "migrant" workers as you want....no one says you can't. But I have a feeling your not paying them much if locals won't do the job and perhaps your hiring less than legal workers to take advantage of them.
