dairymen

Cow-milking farm workers

Dairymen is the plural of dairyman—a man who works in or operates a dairy, producing milk, cheese, butter, and related products.

The term covers both farm owners and workers: The dairymen gathered at the cooperative meeting.

Like many occupational terms ending in -men, it's gradually giving way to gender-neutral alternatives like dairy farmers or dairy workers.
