The question of how we cm
sell more milk best sums up
the major challenges facing to
day’s milk producers, John W.
Slilcr told the group of milk
producers.
Slitcr, assistant manager of
the dairy farmer organization,
said “Milk producers are con
fronted with five major chal
lenges: misconceptions, diver
sification, production, costs,
and competition. But these alf
can be combined into one big
challenge of finding the wn
to sell more milk.
“Dairy farming is a business.
It’s a big business. It’s your
business, and it needs to be
run in a business-like mannei,
This means using all ot the
tools available to you to ex
pand your market and increase
the demand for your product.
It’s your job; nobody else is
going to do it for you.”
The 35 dairymen from seven
Pennsylvania counties attend
ing the meeting are shippei -j
under Federal Order 2.
