00:35:12.985 --> 00:35:15.363
this was one big cement floor and

00:35:15.738 --> 00:35:17.824
put sawdust down, then in the mornin sweep it up

00:35:17.824 --> 00:35:19.450
put fresh sawdust down, and...

00:35:20.952 --> 00:35:22.912
have pens, y'know. Oh boy.

00:35:23.621 --> 00:35:27.542
It'd be so much more efficient, easier on the cattle easier on us.

00:35:29.001 --> 00:35:30.378
We'd have more time drink coffee.

00:35:53.860 --> 00:35:55.486
Ahh! I gotta get a bottle.

00:36:08.708 --> 00:36:10.585
This would be lights, it would be bright,

00:36:10.585 --> 00:36:13.045
there'd be hot water, this would be a pan over here,

00:36:13.254 --> 00:36:14.380
with the calves here.

00:36:14.630 --> 00:36:17.925
This walk in would be when we bring the babies from their mommy's

00:36:17.925 --> 00:36:19.260
would be in the first pen there.

00:36:19.802 --> 00:36:23.264
Then put them in and we'll just rotate them pens and then...

00:36:23.681 --> 00:36:25.850
off to the other barn when they get bigger.

00:36:28.352 --> 00:36:30.229
Oh, we may have few dogs out in the other barn.

00:36:37.278 --> 00:36:38.863
JOANN
So this time it was...

00:36:39.906 --> 00:36:41.073
–so...Holy Toledo.

00:36:41.365 --> 00:36:44.994

00:36:46.204 --> 00:36:47.455
–Wow.

00:36:47.997 --> 00:36:51.083
–Boy, if you could get these milk numbers up, Doug, you could

00:36:51.083 --> 00:36:52.668
–like you've been telling me, you could be

00:36:52.668 --> 00:36:55.087
–I mean, not rolling, but you could make ends meet.

00:36:55.087 --> 00:36:57.089
–I mean, look at how much you made Doug there.

00:36:57.089 --> 00:36:57.924
JoAnn...

00:36:57.924 --> 00:36:59.800
–I know but I need to see it in proof, Doug.

00:36:59.800 --> 00:37:02.261
You saw that there, thats 400,000.

00:37:02.553 --> 00:37:04.555
If I had 400,000, where would I be right now?

00:37:05.223 --> 00:37:05.765
–Right.

00:37:05.890 --> 00:37:08.893
I'd be sitting in the Fairbanks already having a cold beer.

00:37:09.936 --> 00:37:11.771
–Yeah. And that's why we're doing all this, aren't we?

00:37:11.896 --> 00:37:12.396
Mm-hmm.

00:37:12.688 --> 00:37:13.231
–OK.

00:37:14.065 --> 00:37:16.400
Seed, feed, seed, fertilizer, grain.

00:37:16.525 --> 00:37:18.694
–Jeez I could cry, it makes me sick.

00:37:24.283 --> 00:37:26.953
–Here's another twenty six thousand dollars.

00:37:31.207 --> 00:37:33.125

Middlebury, Vermont.

REPORTER
Nice. Tell me about your dogs.

00:38:35.896 --> 00:38:39.900
I went to a race in Vermont, a little race, forty two years ago

00:38:39.900 --> 00:38:41.777
and I saw these dogs running and

00:38:41.777 --> 00:38:43.571
on the way home I stopped and got the newspaper

00:38:43.571 --> 00:38:45.656
and in the classifieds found a five dog team

00:38:45.656 --> 00:38:47.033
so I bought the five dog team.

00:38:47.783 --> 00:38:50.828
And then we started running our dogs off the farm in Middlebury

00:38:50.828 --> 00:38:51.829
and...

00:38:51.829 --> 00:38:52.830
here we are now.

00:38:53.289 --> 00:38:55.374

Alright, the next trophy, this is probably the most

00:40:29.343 --> 00:40:32.263
popular trophy that we do and give out every year.

00:40:32.263 --> 00:40:33.556
It's a special trophy.

00:40:33.722 --> 00:40:35.516
It's the Barbara Hubbard Memorial trophy.

00:40:36.142 --> 00:40:38.602
And it goes to the driver who does the most in promoting

00:40:38.602 --> 00:40:41.230
the public image of sled dog racing,

00:40:41.814 --> 00:40:44.024
And I don't think there really should be much question

00:40:44.024 --> 00:40:45.693
as to who's gettin that this year...

00:40:45.818 --> 00:40:47.194

Thank you so much.

00:40:54.910 --> 00:40:56.036

That's a good answer.

00:43:19.263 --> 00:43:20.389

PHONE
OK well what can I help you with today?

00:43:24.268 --> 00:43:26.312
I'd like to pay a $1000 today

00:43:26.687 --> 00:43:29.064
And then next week, I'll be after you again

00:43:29.064 --> 00:43:30.399
to make some more payments.

00:43:30.733 --> 00:43:33.110
And I'll be paying every week to two weeks.

00:43:33.277 --> 00:43:34.278
I don't know how much.

00:43:34.278 --> 00:43:37.489
It could be 500 to 2500 to get us caught up.

00:43:37.489 --> 00:43:40.909
Because I have some money coming in from different directions

00:43:40.909 --> 00:43:43.537
but it comes in slower than I want it.

00:43:44.997 --> 00:43:46.165

Now I am gonna ask though...

00:43:46.165 --> 00:43:48.584

now the last payment was back in November...

00:43:49.293 --> 00:43:51.712

And I'm really stretching it out here

00:43:51.712 --> 00:43:53.422

because I should be looking for 4000.

00:43:54.173 --> 00:43:55.924
I'm...seriously, I'm working very hard on that

00:43:55.924 --> 00:43:58.427
because Green Mountain has worked with me over the

00:43:58.427 --> 00:43:59.678
you know, the past year and a half

00:43:59.678 --> 00:44:01.597
when I've been through such a rough time that

00:44:01.597 --> 00:44:03.807
you know, it's a great people, great company

00:44:03.807 --> 00:44:04.850

Ok honey, you're in trouble now.

00:44:09.938 --> 00:44:11.065
It's a dairy farm.

00:44:11.148 --> 00:44:13.567
My grandparents bought it in 1926

00:44:13.942 --> 00:44:14.735
and uh...

00:44:15.402 --> 00:44:16.945
I've got a workaholic son.

00:44:17.529 --> 00:44:19.281
PHONE
So your son still works on the farm then?

00:44:19.281 --> 00:44:22.743
Oh he's great. And his wife, my daughter in law,

00:44:22.743 --> 00:44:25.496
you couldn't ask for two greater, sweeter, nicer people.

00:44:27.539 --> 00:44:29.041
PHONE
Ugh, you know...

00:44:29.375 --> 00:44:32.169
PHONE
My family ended up having to sell the farm.

00:44:33.712 --> 00:44:36.298

You know, because of tax poor and nobody wanted to run it.

00:44:37.383 --> 00:44:37.800
DOUG
Yep.

00:44:41.261 --> 00:44:44.181
I used to work with Sonny Miller and

00:44:44.181 --> 00:44:47.601
uh years ago there was an older couple

00:44:47.601 --> 00:44:49.269
you know, late seventies that...

00:44:49.395 --> 00:44:51.063
mentally they were good, but physically

00:44:51.063 --> 00:44:52.940
they just couldn't do it anymore.

00:44:53.232 --> 00:44:55.359
So we picked the cows up and brought 'em my farm

00:44:55.359 --> 00:44:57.653
to transition 'em to free stall,

00:44:58.237 --> 00:44:59.863
And and that poor lady was crying so hard

00:44:59.863 --> 00:45:01.740
she fell on the ground, I had to pick her up and

00:45:02.074 --> 00:45:03.409
and carry her and put her in her chair

00:45:03.409 --> 00:45:05.494
because it was like we were taking her children from her.

00:45:05.911 --> 00:45:06.745

I know.

00:45:06.745 --> 00:45:08.372

00:45:24.221 --> 00:45:27.141
