New Zealand Dairies.

They don’t mess around with industrial farming here. Ask Fonterra, the milk cooperative that controls 30% of the world’s dairy exports. This farmer runs 1300 cows, 500 of them taking about an hour and a half to run through the milking machine. Holy crap.

Holy crap is right. We used to take that long to milk 40 cows!
