Thank you for recording all this and sharing it. It's quite a document.

Thank God I gave up Dutchess County dairy farming in 1963. Wonderful life for five days a week. I saw where big ag was running the future show and we were doomed. We didn't own the land like the Chase family. My grand father did and I would have had to pay him for 40 years. Later, however, I was able to retire at age 46 from a police dept. Sure, I had to handle real dirty things and a load of stress but I have a check coming every month. I'm not in debt, don't own a lot of land and if it rains two weeks straight, so what. Yes, I had to re-invent my future. My poor mom died of pancreatic cancer, contracted from the sprays of chemicals... I believe. She washed cows udders with a rag dipped in a dark brown chemical. Oh well, I think you get the picture. Good luck to the Chase family! From Richard Leigh of Pleasant Valley, N.Y.
