You socialist bastidges!! ;)
Here yah go... May Day, USA Style!
From an old 1960's TV commercial:
Look for the union label
when you are buying that coat, dress or blouse.
Remember somewhere our union's sewing,
our wages going to feed the kids, and run the house.
We work hard, but who's complaining?
Thanks to the I.L.G. we're paying our way!
So always look for the union label,
it says we're able to make it in the U.S.A.!
To FREE working men and women, everywhere; union or not!

May Day-International Worker's Day
International Workers' Day (a name used interchangeably with May Day) is the commemoration of the Haymarket Riot of 1886 in Chicago, Illinois, and a celebration of the social and economic achievements of the international labor movement. The 1 May date is used because in 1884 the Federation of Organized Trades and Labor Unions, inspired by labor's 1872 success in Canada, demanded an eight-hour workday in the United States to come in effect as of May 1, 1886. This resulted in a general strike and the riot in Chicago of 1886, but eventually also in the official sanction of the eight-hour workday. The May Day Riots of 1894 and May Day Riots of 1919 occurred subsequently.
Due to these left-wing overtones, May Day has long been a focal point for demonstrations by various socialist, communist, and anarchist groups. In some circles, bonfires are lit in commemoration of the Haymarket Riot usually right as the first day of May begins. [1] In the 20th century, May Day received the official endorsement of the Soviet Union; celebrations in communist countries during the Cold War era often consisted of large military parades and shows of common people in support of the government.
The Red Scare periods ended May Day as a mass holiday in the United States, a phenomenon which can be seen as somewhat ironic given that May Day originated in Chicago. Meanwhile, in countries other than the United States and United Kingdom, resident working classes fought hard to make May Day an official governmentally-sanctioned holiday, efforts which eventually largely succeeded. For this reason, May Day in most of the world today is marked by huge street rallies of workers led by their trade unions and various large socialist and communist parties — a phenomenon not generally seen in the U.S. (which has a history of strong anti-communism) or the UK.
In most countries other than the U.S. and UK, May Day is often referred to simply as "Labor Day" or "Worker day".
The United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand celebrate their Labor Day on different dates, which has to do with how the holiday originated in those countries; see also Loyalty Day and Law Day, U.S.A.

It's pretty much the same for crop farmers anywhere there's a cold, cold winter.
Tough to do much farming when the ground is frozen.

Most farmers are not pure crop farmers. :D

Oh man! Say it`s not true!
Please tell me that you don`t raise animals. Wheeeeeeeeeewwwww! The animal farts man...the animal farts. Greenhouse .....global warming.
Awwwww....now I am totaly disillusioned. :rofl

The globe has a long history of farting animals.
Ruminants actually fart much less methane if they are fed with more grass (which they are made for) and less grain.
But again, to the same point, grain feeding is economically more effective, so the products are often cheaper. (intensive farming).
Anyway, 1st of may = busy farmday for most on the Northern hemisphere.

I`m just shocked Angus.
Recovery time is undetermined as of yet. :rofl

And most of crop farmers don't take all day to take care of the animal husbandry they do.
It's why they go elk hunting for two weeks in the fall. It's why the go pheasant hunting any day they want to in the fall. It's why it's not a full time job in the fall/winter...even for those that are not pure crop farmers.

Any animal husbandry that includes full care means full care, around the year. The classical one is dairy farming. Want a break? Hire somebody to do the job, if there is anyone to be found.
Same goes to any animal being fed, birth control etc.
That is before you begin with things like harvesting and those...
Somehow, I think you do not know the subject too well.
