Vermont dairy industry sustained by illegal laborHighgate, VT (AP) -- A room off the milking parlor of a sprawling farm near the U.S.-Canada border offers a behind-the-scenes glimpse of the changing face of Vermont's dairy industry.
A Spanish-language soap opera plays on a small TV atop the refrigerator. Bags of corn flour for tortillas are piled high in a basket across the room from bunk beds. 'Dios bendiga esta casa' (God bless this house) is scrawled above the door of the room, home to a Guatemalan man and a Mexican couple. A pregnant Mexican woman still in knee-high rubber boots is visited by Nancy Sabin, a volunteer who finds dairy farm jobs for Hispanic workers. On this afternoon, she brings thrift-shop baby clothes.
