My Trip To The Dairy

Yes, that is it.

 

Alright everyone I want to thank A-Wolf for asking about being a milk man it made for a good weekend thread look this thread is already 5 pages long! Anyhow I have to go to work tomorrow going to call it a weekend went by awful quick. I'll see you all tomorrow peace out!

 

Kemps is owned by dairy farmers of america(DFA) a large cooperative. There is a lot of local milk companies out there that keep there name for recognition but have a giant cooperative as a parent company.

 

Thanks ..kemps
Thanks... Kemps been bought and sold so much I forgot who owned it .

 

Probably job changes, not losses. Milk still has to be processed and delivered so probably just a shift in facilities. Some workers may have to transfer to Walmart or find something else to do.

 

Good Union jobs to wal mart wages ?.

 

No, I meant total jobs. Wages will never compare when it's Walmart dairy wages vs. union dairy wages.

 

The article just said they are doing this to save money and to get the product to the store faster therefore extending the shelf life. It will supply up to 600 walmart stores. When it was announced dean foods stock dropped 12 percent in one day which is thier biggest supplier. You can google wal mart to build milk processing plant if interested in learning more.

 

So I've decided that after this thread I am going to ad an industry to my HO scale model railroad right now, I have a brewery, a Sysco Operating Company and Beer Distributor and a Ethanol Manufacturing Plant, but I've decided we could use a major dairy and fluid milk production plant as well.
So I will post pictures of the finished plant when it's done being constructed.
