Licensed Dairy
The U S Department of
Agriculture has issued a
preliminary report on imports of
cheese and other diary products
against licenses under import
regulation 1, revision 5, as
amended, for the year ended
December 31, 1971
Import quotas and licensing
requirements are in force under
Section 22 of the Agricultural

New Advertising
National Dairy Council will
break with new advertising in
May that will be scheduled in 14
publications between May and
December of 1972 These
publications will reach an
estimated 12,000,000 readers per
month, all of whom have an in
terest in good nutrition
Among the subjects to be
discussed in the advertising
messages are
1 The nutrition benefits of
establishing good eating nabits
early in childhood
2 Improving the eating habits
o( teenagers
1 Pi evenlion of osteoporosis by
increased calcium intake
The Council, a primary
resource for nutrition research
and nutrition education will use
its advertising to talk about
improving eating habits for the
young and the old, as a means of
those on Cheddar, American-type
other than Cheddar, Blue-mold,
and natural Edam and Gouda
cheeses were largely utilized
The Italian-type quotas showed a
shortfall ot about 40 per cent, due
to a shortage of supplies m
Argentina and presence of undue
amounts of pesticides in cheese
from Italy
Imports under license of the so
called “pncebreak” cheeses-
Emmenthaler, Gruyere-process
and “other cheeses, nspf”—
which require import licenses
educating Americans to sound
nutritional practices, thereby
enhancing marketing op
portunities for milk and other
dairy foods.
The advertising messages are
so designed that they can be used
by the affiliated units of National
Dairy Council, over their own
signatures, in state, regional or
metropolitan area professional
journals to reach doctors, den
tists, nurses, dietitians,
nutritionists and athletic coaches
with messages on nutrition of
particular concern to each group,
and emphasizing the role of dairy
foods in sound nutrition prac
tices
Over the past three years,
American agriculture has
declined by 47,000 farms an
nually
mports
when purchased at less than 47
cents f.o b. country of origin,
showed large shortfalls, for
several reasons
These included a decline in
European cheese stocks, drought
conditions in Oceania, which also
had repercussions in the
European market situation,
price increases related to these
situations and price uncertainties
related to changes in currency
values Of special importance
were the dock strikes, which
precluded full use pf licenses A
considerable amount of cheese,
including low-fat cheese, was
shipped during the latter part of
1971, but, because of the dock
difficulties, could not enter until
early 1972
The quotas on chocloate crumb
were only about two-thirds filled,
mainly because of the dock
strikes
The 6,000 pound quota on
malted milk and the 500 pound
quota on dried cream were not
used
Several dairy quotas are not
subject to licensing, but are
administered on a first-come,
first-served basis by the Bureau
of Customs. Imports under these
quotas in 1971 were
—Butteroil the quota of
1,200,000 pounds was filled.
Frozen cream the
1,500,000 gallon quota was filled.
—Articles containing 5 5
percent but under 45 per cent
butterfat (Junex)—the 2,580,000
pound quota was filled.
—Condensed milk 1,376,391

QUALITY
THAT’S AN ELUSIVE COMMODITY ISN’T IT? THIS IS
OUR APPROACH TO QUALITY IN DAIRY FEEDS.
1. Formulation Control
a. requirements determined by our own research,
b computer selected ingredients to meet those
requirements
1 not least cost formulation
c. current and legal registrations and tag.
2. Incoming Ingredients
a. sample every one before unloading,
b maintain quality records on each supplier
(they really hate us for that)
3. Quality Production
a. precise mixing
minerals
b close tolerances on all ingredients.
4. Quality of finished product
a visual inspection,
b correct identification,
c lab analysis,
d flushing between feeds.
Quality control is a way of life with us, not simply a
program.
