Immigrant labor rises on state dairy farms

author Published by Chris Chmielenski

Sandi Zirbel has seen an influx of immigrants on dairy farms in Wisconsin firsthand.

As the co-owner of a 635-cow dairy cooperative in the town of Glenmore, Zirbel said immigrants frequently come looking for work.

As many as 19 out of 20 people who apply to work at the farm are immigrants. Two-thirds of those applications get tossed.http://www.htrnews.com/article/20091112/MAN0101/911120581/1984/MANlife/Immigrant-labor-rises-on-state-dairy-farms
