“Ramirez is one of six Mexicans working at the big Piper dairy farm, located on the Solon end of Embden. The Piper farm has 500 milking cows on its combined 1,200 acres of owned and rented land, and the family needs Ramirez as much as he needs them.
“Life here is better,” said Ramirez, a small but strong man who speaks better English than the rest of his countrymen on the farm, and does it with a smile. “I learn things every day here. Now, I know about breeding cows.”
Unlike some of his married countrymen who send money back to their families, Ramirez is single. A day away from his 30th birthday, which he celebrated by shopping for clothes in Augusta with his girlfriend, he is able to put some of the money earned in a 62-hour week into savings. Ramirez is proud that he owns a car.”
