canadian business the chief trouble with the can- f adian dairy industry today is the t because she literally eats the profits out of the business the cow strains the relationship between the farmers arid the dairy the dairy arid the consumer the taxpayer and the government and puts canada at a disadvantage uv world trade bossy is of course complac ently unaware of the maladjust ment she is causing in a four hun dred million dollar industry and just goes ahead eating all thats put before her whether she needs it or not v unfortunately the dairies the general public and the farmers seem tohave a similar bovine com placency on this basic problem of extravagance that is undermining oneof our oldest and most impor tant industries there is notsuffic- ient accounting done on theeost of milk production and because the cowand the accountant dont get together of ten enough the average farmer hasnoidea of his costs and demands higher prices as-thesolu- hon- the dairies says that they cant pay the producer- more 5240 to 265 per hundredweight is the cur rent price the milk retails at 406 to 411 for 32 milk the dairies quote chapter and verse to show that all but a fraction of that spread 5s taken f up in i costs of processing and distribution and a surveymade by the harvard school of business administration indicates that they are right the net is about 31100th of a cent per quart andthe consumer wont pay ffiorelhethinks that the real spreadis j ahd pays incomeitaxes to supnort a two cents per quart subsidy on milk highcost feeding i the ifarmer insists that these prices- dont give him any profit hes right in one respect he prob ably isnt making money for in some cases the current prices for milk would not cover the cost of production in countries like can- ada where the costs vary widely in different districts such costs have been calculated to range from 120 to320 per hundredweight l the greatest single factor affect- ing that cost is the average jearly milk r production of- each cow yet few canadian farmers know how much milk- each cow gives nor what kind or the quantity of food she requires for greatest output for the most part they still keep as many cows as they can milk feed them all the same amount and turn them loose on any field that looks green because land values have always been cheap in canada the farmer got used to this extravagant method of pasturing cows on several acres and the old ratio of a couple of acres per cow never caused much concern until the cost accountant came into the dairy business he figured that since a cow grazes 150 pounds a day to givelto 114 lbs butter fat- she is a liability if she cant get this amount of food with out eating over several acres and adding to her overhead true there was little labor involved in pastui- ing but by midsummer there was usually little milk and a low net to the farmer pasture feeding call however be efficient if the grasses are good andi the food supplemented to bring maximum milk production for each cow winter feeding is abouttwice the summer cost anda great part of that- cost is labour in cutting hay and preparing silagethe labour charge to care for each cow runs from100 to 241 manhours a year and this the accountant points out cannot be covered by low producers whethertheyare- scrub cows or poorly fed potential high producers since the average hay crop is hard ly worth cutting because of its low food value it is an extravagant food unless it is- cut at the right time from selected grasses and fed to suit the individualneeds of the cow s s on monday

cow may need 50pounds of silage to look after her bodily maintenance and give high est milk production others may require only 20 to 40 pounds per 1000 pounds body weight in addi tion they require other foods con centrates and dairy rations but there is no point in giving all the cows in a herd the sameamount of food each day they cant use it it simply goes to fat and waste too little food on theother hand ruins a cow particularly a young one heifers which have been improperly fedsuch as calves on poor pasture do not become high producers and this means a squand ering of land and labour the tragedy of the extravagant cow is that she doesnt need to exist there is no reason why the con sumer and the government should pay high prices and subsidies to support her probably one quarter of the dairy cows today do not pay for themselves ye these could be culled from the herds if the farmers would keep records of individual cows and see that the milk produc tion of each cow pays for her food her overhead and replacement in other words do some cost account ing cows respond quickly to intelli gent management one expert has stated that milk production can be increased in ten days on balanced feeding this type of feeding prob ably costs more certainly to start on the right track takes extra labor and greater concentration but the net returnis greater and that is the important factor records kept for 63739 purebred cows were com pared with those of 107309 grade cows the purebred averaged 8443 pounds of milk per year with 325 pounds of butterfat the grade cows 7623 pounds
