Before Chuck Ripp’s farm started to grow, he and his brothers hired local high school students to help on the farm. But they never lasted. Now, 11 of the 12 non-family members who work there are Latino immigrants.
“We cannot find the American person to come in and work full-time on a dairy,” Ripp said. “It’s too many long hours. It’s too hard of work. And it’s seven days a week, 365 on a dairy farm... A cow does not take a day off.”
“We’ve run ads in the papers, looking for milking technicians or people to help milk cows and things like that,” he went on. “We don’t even get a bite. We don’t even get calls.”
“If we pay [workers] more, how do I get the money out of you [consumers]?” O’Harrow asked attendees at the Cap Times Idea Fest. “Milk is a commodity. We don’t control the price.”
