Rotary Dairy Parlor


Milkers are busy milking in the rotary parlor at the Flood Brothers Farm in Clinton Thursday night. The parlor rotates on 20,000 gal. of water and holds 50 cows at a time. The farm's 1,450 milk cows produce approximately 15,000 gal. of milk per day. The farm is currently in the process of constructing a similar rotary parlor which will hold 100 cows at a time and will be one of the largest parlors in the country, according to farmer Dana Flood.
