One‑armed dairy farmer retools to keep milking
Phillipe Lebrun of St. Anne, after losing his right arm in a November 1, 1979 combine accident, rebuilt his 196 acre dairy operation. With engineer Gary Plohman they redesigned gear and routines, adopting free stall barns and machine‑handled bales to milk 34 cows in about 1 hour 15 minutes and plan a Randles milking system, while he remains cautious and committed to farming with one arm.
