DAIRYMAN DOESN'T CONTROL
MILK PRICE; DOES
CONTROL COST

A dairy farmer may have little
control over the price he gets for
milk, but he does control-to a
large degree-the cost of produc-
ing milk. And profit is the differ
ence between production costs and
market prices, reminds George
Vapaa, county agricultural agent.
The key to low-cost production
in dairying is high production per
cow. For instance, national re-
cords of the Dairy Herd Improve
ment Association for 1858 and
1854 show that feed costs alone
for a COW producing only 1000
pounds of milk per year amount
ed to about 1918 for every 100
pounds of milk produced. BY con-
trast, a United States COW pro-
ducing 10000 in 1953-54 consum-
ed feed costing an average of
$3.50 per 100 pounds of milk pro-
duced, even though this COW con-
sumed more total feed.
Similar contracts could be made
between labor and housing costs
for high and low producers. In
every way the high producing COW
is a more efficient animal.
Record keeping is essential to
efficient dairy production, de-
clares Mr. Vapaa. Time and
again it has been shown, when
cows are put on record, that OBJ
servation is not a reliable guide
to an animals production. Cows
that are heavy producers early in
the lactation period frequently
drop down to a low daily record,
while less impressive but regular
producers may score much better
by the end of year.
A simplified, low-cost system
known as the Weigh-a-Day-a-
Month plan has been developed to
help dairymen who have previous
ly found record keeping too ex-
pensive, too time-consuming, or
too difficult. This system, which
strips all but the bare essentials
from record keeping, is suitable
for any size herd-but is particu-
larly useful to the dairyman with
a herd of IA COWS or less. AS the
name implies, it calls for weigh
ing the milk and feed of each COW
on one day each month, recording
this with other simple data about
the animal on farm, and mailing
the form to a county record CEN
ter.
Computations are then made
for the dairyman showing how his
cows compare with local and ma
tional averages in feed consump-
ton and production. On the basis
of this information, he can Gull
low-producing, Improbable amin
ais, select the best ones for breed
ing higher-producing requirements,
and do better job of feeding
each COW in according with her
ability to produce.

Allotment Compliance Required
Under Soil Bank


Farmers should remember that
they must comply with all acre
age allotments established for
their farms as well as with other
plan requirements in order to be
eligible for Soil Bank payments
in 1868, Joseph w. Ennis, Chair
man, Kent County Agricultural
Sterilization Conservation Com
mittee, reminds growers.
The Chairman points out that
compliance requirements under the
Soil Bank programs are broader
than under previous national farm
programs. For instance, under
the acreage-allotment program, a
farmer who exceeds his farm al
lotment for basic" crop such as
corn or wheat, loses only his elig-
Utility for the full available price
support on that particular crop.
If marketing quotas are also ap-
plicable to the crop, he may also
be subject to marketing quota
penalty on his excess" produc-
ton.
Under both the Acreage Reserve
and the Conservation Reserve
program of the Soil Bank, how
ever, a farmer must comply with
all allotments established for all
basic crops grown on his farm in
order to be eligible for any Soil
Bank payments. If the farmer
does not comply with this re-
quirement, he will forfeit all his
Soil Bank payments.
If the farmer should wilfully

agement, according to Mr.. Vapaa,
costs about five cents per COW per
month. Any dairyman who is not
now keeping records is urged to
contact the county agent about
joining the plan.
