To avoid asking unnccessaiy
questions of small fanners, a
short version of the census re
poit form has been developed.
Thus, the more detailed data
will not be available for most of
the smaller operations and will
not be published for farms with
sales of less than $2,500.
The specialized operators who
produce most of our food and
fiber will be asked for addition
al infoimation about major
trends in production methods in
a series of mail surveys to be
conducted early in 1971. For ex
ample, questions for commer
cial dairy operators will request
information on type of milking
parlor, whether any feed grind
ing and mixing was done on the
farm, expenditures for dairy
health products, and how much
was spent in 1970 for dany
equipment.
Other specialized products for
which additional data may be
collected are fruits, vegetables,
livestock, poultry, cash grain,
tobacco, cotton and other field
crops A supplemental census
will cover greenhouse and nur
sery products. Results of these
special surveys will be publish

Here's
The Way
To Make
More Money
Above
Feed Cost!
Dairy feeds at dif
ferent prices do not
have the same pro
ductive value. You
usually get what you
pay for. Lower-priced
dairy feeds often pro
duce less milk and
make less profit.
Red Rose
I DAIRY FEEDS
RED ROSE DAIRY FEEDS are the feeds you should use.
These feeds (available in many protein levels) enable a cow
to produce up to her inherited capacity. In the long run you
can make more money above feed cost with high quality
Red Rose Dairy Feeds. The price per ton is relatively unim
portant. What is important are the results! If you use sup
plements, again Red Rose has one suited to your need.
Be determined to earn more money from your dairy herd
this season. Decide to use Red Rose Dairy Feeds. So, why
not call your dealer, now.
