He wakes at 6 a.m. and often grabs a sandwich for breakfast before heading to the barn. "Two slices of bread, some mayo, bologna, and you're out the door," he said. Jim, 62, lives with his wife, Sylvia, and their 25-year-old son, Ben, in a modest white house on Dorset Street in Shelburne across from the barn where the family milks 50 Holsteins twice a day.
