1971 U.S. Dairy Outlook
A good supply of herd replace
ments, the easier labor situation,
and record high milk prices
favoi a rise in milk production
this year
Howevei, gram and conceu
tiate puces are higher and net
incomes from dairying are lug
ging Thus, a limited rise in
milk pxoduction from the 117 4
billion pounds of 1970 is Likely.
In Januaij, US output was
up 1 0 psi cent, following a 16
per cent gam in the fourth quar
ter of 1970 (In Pennsylvania,
December pioduction was down
two per cent but January was
equal to last yeai’s output)
Herd i eplacements on hand for
the beginning of 1971 were 31.7
pei 100 cows This is the same
as last yeai and is considered
adequate
Cunent and future prices for
slaughter cows are relatively
high, and milk cow numbers
I’kely will decline at a slow rate.
The 14 pei cent decline during
1970 was the lowest annual rate
of loss since 1860 (Pennsylvania
lost about 9,000 cows m the cal
endar year of 1970 This is about
1.25 per cent of the cows milk

An Alfalfa Success Story
A farm manager in a neighbor

rent alfalfa program:
1) 200 acres of alfalfa—grass
mixtures. Varieties include
Saranac, Iroquois and Vernal.
Either late orchardgrass or tim
othy is seeded with alfalfa.
2) All seedings are made in
Spring without a companion
crop All fields are soil tested
before planting and then every
other year. All seedings are
