farming report by al wall men in york county last xveek and sol asked a lot of ijuesiions the mos common jne was how ions can this io on lop price for only jig of bae third price jess than 5300 deductions jor surplus levies for ad vertising marketing and so on another one was how jong will we have to wait vor increases- in base when is pooling going to tart usually followed and ne guy isked what was the jest time of year to have a there may be answers to these questions but certain ly i havent got them i on iy know that we have a marketing board to straight en out problems and that it steeds time to iron out a very complex situation milk prices arc getting lots of at tention from governments joo with efforts from these two directions im optimis tic that things will improve even if changes dont conc os fast a we want them in a tight spot its impor tant to double check to be ure that we are using ev- iry trick in he book to get jhe lowest cost production jn general i think york jpounty herds are well man- ftcd herds are well bred fed mostly on low cost home crown feed with cood milk ing and sanitation practices j however if we are really aiming at top management 2 think grain feeding war rants more attention in a jcccnt check on one of our ood herd we founu high producers getting too little grain and low producers getting too much im afraid that this is happening more oficn than we think accu racy with grain has quite an influence on profit it isnt possible to hit the right level of grain feeding without weighing and test ing milk with only about one out of every four herd in york county on test it follows that there is room for improvement in grain feeding up to now it simply hasnt been practical for many herds to test some couldnt qualify for rop and dhia has a limited mem bership we now have a third program that is wide open for everyone its cal led owner sampling and its an easy but effective way to get production levels on each cow in the herd the owner docs his own weighing and a sample is picked up by a supervisor who does thebutterfat test ing this system may appear to be a long way short of rop it may be but i think it will fill the bill very nicely as an effective guide for feeding breeding and culling an owner can read a milk scale just as well as any civil servant and daily weighing is to some extent a luxury that many cant afford anyone who would like to try own er sampling should give me a call 4h homerhaking club members cne guests si 4h homemakinz club members from york county were xuestx of the canadian national
