Will This Truck Revolutionize Jugging? (Continued From Page 1) During processing, the trailer is con nected to the store’s water and waste lines. Power to operate the processing equip ment is obtained from a diesel generator mounted right on the trailer.

May’s production, for example, at 11.3 billion pounds, is up only 1.1 per cent from a year earlier. But that 11.3 billion pounds is the highest single output for any month since May of 1967. A further check shows that output for each month this year, prior to May, also has been above that of every corresponding month since at least 1967. For example, February’s was the highest for any Februrary since 1965; March was the highest for March since 1966. The main reason for this continued gain; increased production per cow that con tinues to more than offset a decrease in cow numbers Milk production during May averaged 924 pounds. Cow numbers, at 12,236,000 head, were off one per cent from a year earlier, 10 per cent below the May 1967 total. PHONE 717-786-2235 Lancaster Farming, Saturday.

But we’ll be scrutinizing them for the next year or even two years We want to be sure the equipment is durable” Durability is now the only question to resolve. After a six-month trial with the first truck, the Dutch Farm people are confident their equipment will hold up. They say there were some bugs with the first truck, but most of them were designed out of the second truck And the third truck will be even better. It seems reasonable to assume that mobile processors will have some effect on the milk industry. The extent of the impact remains to be seen.
