Kansas dairy doesn’t forget one of its own
At times when the milk price is in such a poor state, we’re all losing money, it is very easy to loose focus on the important things in life. The employees at Forget-Me-Not Farm in Cimarron, Kan., didn’t forget what was important earlier this year when one of their co-workers was in need.
One of the dairy’s employees, Manuel Pichilla, learned that he had a significant-sized tumor in his stomach and needed surgery to remove it. Manuel was in intensive-care for three weeks and off work for more than two months.
“I was approached by one of our managers on the dairy. He said there were a few employees who would like to donate some money to Manuel and his pregnant wife,” says TJ Curtis, manager of Forget-Me-Not Farm. Curtis told the manager that whatever the employees raised the dairy would match.
