Don’t Be Complacent About Quality,
Inter-State Official Warns
“Dairy farmers cannot afford
to become complacent about new
programs. We must gear our
selves to meet problems head
on,” charged Golden W. Davis,
management assistant, Inter-
State Milk Producers’
Cooperative, last week as he
addressed delegates of the
cooperative’s annual meeting in
Philadelphia.
The representatives of more
than 3,000 dairy farmers in four
states were cautioned by Golden
Davis when he said, “Inspection
used to be fairly simple in the era
of can operations, but with the
advent of the farm bulk tank,
automation of milking, conveying
and washing equipment, more in
depth training has been required
of our field staff. Our fieldmen
must know how to check these
bulk tank and transfer systems,
as well as the all-over inspections
required by law,” continued
Davis.
“Remember, the consumer

will be the final judge,” asserted
the quality control expert.
“We must take whatever steps
necessary to produce the best
quality milk possible. This means
low bacteria counts, low
leucocyte counts, milk free of
anti-bodies, free of pesticide
residue, and milk with a good
flavor and taste We must put
forth extra effort to maintain
daily our work areas, seeing to it
that our equipment is clean,
sanitized and in good working
condition.” Davis suggested.
“Consumers are becoming
more active in organizing groups
that are demanding a better
flavored product, as well as a
better shelf life for milk. More
activity is noted throughout the
country in developing and putting
into law dating and coding of fluid
milk m an effort to answer
consumer demands More and
more federal and state
regulatory agencies are gearing

Davis cited that milk is under
more surveillance than any other
food product He discussed how
dairy farmers can protect their
market as well as their
tremendous investment He cited
quality as the guarantee for a
continued market.
Golden Davis pointed to the
mistake many dairymen are
making when they purchase
unapproved equipment
As an example, he mentioned
the concerted effort by some to
promote the sale of stainless steel
pipelines, in spite of the stand
Inter-State has taken for years
concerning such equipment
Interstate believes the dairyman
should always be able to visually
inspect any part of a pipeline.
He concluded his remarks to
the 54th annual meeting of this
dairy organization by repeating
the fact that it is consumer ap
proval that is necessary, and the
consumer makes this decision at
the marketplace.
