Japanese visitor contrasts farming with Iowa efficiency
Miki from Japan observes Iowa dairy practices and machinery use during a stay with the Spechts. He notes one worker can manage 30 cows in Iowa versus 10 to 11 in Japan, admires Iowa silos and fields, and expresses interest in importing Holsteins. He hopes to return to Iowa someday and praises local kindness.
