Dairyman

Rick Williams of Williams Dairy in Grays Chapel, North Carolina. If you have ever wondered about the definition of perseverance, then step in the shoes of a dairy farmer for a couple of days. No rain, too much rain, tractor breakdowns and flat tire on the chopper. The whole world can almost collapse, yet there will be one thing for sure. Those cows have to be milked twice a day, every day, and they will be.
