it took me about 15-20 minutes to pump about 8 or 9 ounces.
1 qt of good ice-cream takes about 40 oz milk and cream.
at US min wage (5.85/hr) that would mean about, what? a little less than 15 bucks or so, just in milking time. (fyi, i suck at math.
that might be off) plus the commodity cost. OMG! would it be a commodity? will we trade in mammary glands? lmao. of course, let down takes at least and hour between pumpings so add on another several hours of idle pay, and diet is important (and regulated by the dept of ag, i believe) so add on a decent per diem for nutritious food. and drug testing. man, these costs are gonna trickle down
that's some pricey milk. we should outsource.
