Facts
for
Dairymen
N. Alan Bair,
Assistant
County
Agricultural /
Agent n -A
This Is Your Month
So, Mr. Dairyman, you have a
whole month set aside to promote
your product! What are you going
to do with it?
I know that you are going to
make a lot of hay, possibly fill
some silo, finish planting corn
and maybe tobacco, and milk
your cows 60 times; but what are
you going to do to promote milk
and support the largest
agricultural industry in the
county?
Your options are many, even to
doing nothing more than milking
your cows 60 times and doing a
good job of it. Producing a quality
product and getting this product
to the consumer in a state of high
quality has been, and will con
tinue to be, the biggest selling
point of the dairy industry.
Producing quality milk is not
necessarily an easy job as you
well know. When is the last time
you took the time to explain to a
consumer everything you go
through to produce a quality
product? Many consumer
complaints are rooted in
ignorance and misinformation. A
little time spent by you,
enlightening your city cousins
about quality milk production
and milk’s nutritional value could
be time very well spent.
There are many organized
programs to promote milk in
which you as a dairyman can
participate. Don’t be afraid to be
active and kick up a little dust for
the thing that pays your bills.
One activity that “happens”
every year is the Dairy Princess
Pagent. Have you supported this
activity in recent years? So you
say that’s but one evening a year
and mostly for dairymen. So
whose fault is that? First, did you
bring a nondairyman to the
pagent last year and secondly,
did you invite the Dairy Princess
to speak at your civic club lun
cheon or other nonfarm
organization last year? That’s
how you get the payoff on your
investment. Get the dairy
Princess in front of the right
people. After all, most dairymen
know the values of milk don’t
they!
So, take some time, have a
glass of milk, and plan carefully
how you are going to take ad
vantage of your Month. You and
the consumer will both come out
on top if you do your job well.

Cool Cows This Summer
Diary cows have been shown to
be extremely sensitive to high
temperatures Milk production
begins to drop off above 65 to 70
degrees. A combination of high
temperature and high humidity
adds to the loss of production
Many dairymen keep their
cows m the barn m hot weather
Shading against the sun adds to
cow comfort, but ventilation
becomes very important.
We must have air movement
over the cow to pick up heat, even
if temperatures are not reduced
by air movement. In addition
there must be a rapid change of
air in the stable to move heat and
moisture out of the building.
In a stall bam open all doors
and windows to take advantage of
natural breezes. Also you may
use circulating fans to more air
over the cows.
