Kentucky Dairy Farming and Kenny's Country Cheese
From: WFPL News
Series: Kentucky Works
Length: 09:00
This is part four in a year-long series I'm currently working on called Kentucky Works.
The focus of the series is to look at people in their professions and how jobs have helped mold traditions and the culture of Kentucky.
Most of the pieces in Kentucky Works will be told solely by the worker.
This is my first attempt at doing a piece where my voice is not a part of the story.

Review of Kentucky Dairy Farming and Kenny's Country Cheese
I picked this to review because I was in the mood to hear some cows mooing, and while there's less of that than I'd hoped, there's lots of well recorded sound I wasn't expecting: banging and clanging, milk flowing into vats, assorted work sounds, a radio in the background and Kenny talking while he's laboring. It all adds up to an enjoyable audio visit with some real folks talking about the family business. Kenny's mom tells us why and how he switched from pure farming to making cheese, Kenny talks about why the change is gratifying, and the time flies by. No narration, and none needed. Skillfully edited, well paced. Have to listen to the rest of the Kentucky-based series. Might just make for a good summer series for other parts of the country. And hey, these folks are still MAKING something in our service-industry lanscape, and that's a good thing.
