Not like they are hand milking; it is just guiding the cow into a stall, cleaning the udders, and putting the machine on the teets.
They do have automatic milkers that allow to cows to milk when they want to milk without a human being involved… But I guess an exploited lower class is more profitable.
My dad had that in freaking 80’s. I saw in action it was cool as shit for a 9 years old. We didn’t even have to guide them in our nothing. Apparently once you had them trained enough they milk themselves on regular all by themselves.
The only thing a person had to do was clean up the shit and piss. I still remember having that job at 11. It sucked, but it has to be done. Probably what that farmer really bitching about.

It is hard to tell with the footage from the two news articles he was in(his farm or stock footage?), but it seems that he has the manual milkers.
He has been profiting off gov subsidies(probably) and illegal labor and hasn’t been investing into automation, if that is the case.
