Visiting with Huell Howser: Dairy Farms

[@sardu55]

Huell takes a fun trip to a dairy farm out in Chino. As always, he is impressed by the 'quantity of milk' from the cows and by the cows curiosity when a few walk up to check him out. Since Huell was a well known ladies man, and the cows, of course, are all females (sans the bull) they may have mistaken the manly presence as their bull come calling. As they say, farm animals respond to country voices. Which also shows us Huell out among viewers who are his natural fans and backers.

Shut-up and drink your damn milk, Huell. Who would have figured he was a milk drinker?.

I can remember back in the late 60s when there were a few dairy farms in Orange County. We lived in Anaheim and you could see them in the general area, as close to the major market to and rail transport into LA. I still remember on in close around Long Beach that didn't have cows but did process raw milk and ship it locally to Alpha Beta, Vans and even Safeway. From there it was hauled by the large tanker trucks east and west. Some was put on train tank cars and sent back east to processing plants where they made cheese, cottage cheese, yogurt, ice cream, butter and other milk based products. They did that to reduce labor costs, which we lower the farther away from LA you got, and the plants were staffed by Mexican migrant workers who moved in and out of field work to inside work. Getting the cows out of Orange County was the best thing for everyone. It got rid of major environmental violator but also allowed them to move and remain close to their markets, which was always the dairy owners main concern. That proved unfounded as deals were worked out allowing dairy cooperatives to remain in business and to share the growing SOCAL markets. Must have worked out ok as the farm Huell visits here is massive and doing very well. And, Huell got to drink some fresh, raw milk. His family in TN must have had a big farm they raised, made and grew everything there was.

Oh ya, I got my first home in the late 90s over in Chino hills, my backyard was the state park, and all the cows were already gone from Chino Hills then. Chino though still had maybe one or two cow farms back then, but by the time I sold my house some twenty years later, all the cows in Chino were gone, it's all industrial/ business parks now. A Lot of the companies that I dealt with in Orange County, moved to Chino , so that saved me from the two lane road getting into OC. But, ya, sadly all these family owned farms are gone now, and most moved out of state.
