Farther south Jordan Dairy in Rutland, MA is seeing the older generations like Warren and Wayne Jordan transferring the heavy lifting to Wayne’s sons, Randy and Brian.
Janet and Don Segur keep just a small hand in the operation, literally, helping to raise and train the young stock.
The high tech operation is well-suited to the younger generation. The operation has a mammoth methane digester, Big Bertha, that produces the farm’s electricity and heat and sells it back to the grid.
