[AT] Dairy farming. Dying industry?

[George Willer]

Even the smaller dairy operators could give the automakers some economic
advice.  The automakers are bitching about how difficult it is to survive
while at the same time they're paying employees upward of $100,000 to not
show up for work anymore.  

I doubt any dairy operator was ever that stupid.  I'm quite sure they would
have considered accounts settled every payday.
