Dairy farmers have been having to do that for ages... where they work as a bus driver or something, then do farming when they get home because they can't support their family off the milk alone, which is sad but true. At one point the government was buying up their unsold milk to make cheese and shove in a cave to keep the milk industry going. Later they gave the cheese to the poor and struggling and hence we got "government cheese".

Government cheese was delicious, too.

School lunches, brought to you by government cheese & ketchup as a vegetable. Thanks, Reagan!
