My family is on a road trip travelling through several states in the Southwest. We have passed a handful of dairy farms, and each one has had hundreds of cows in crowded conditions with no green grass in sight. My husband grew up in Wisconsin and said that the present dairy farms are much bigger than what he was used to growing up. A large dairy farm back then had 50 cows. Most had less.
On a positive note, a doctor in Austin, realizing the connection between nutritious food and good health, started a food bank during the pandemic to provide rice, frozen vegetables, and beans to those in need. It is called Flora's Whole Pantry, and more information is available at floramedicalclinic.com.
