Is this a reflection of your attitude or reactions? Few in dustries have a whole month set aside for the promotion of their product. Does the Dairy industry claim the whole month of June because they have such a vital product to promote, or because it takes the dairy industry a whole month to get moving? By youi 4 convictions and actions you better prove the first choice to be the best answer How have you contributed in the past year to the promotion of milk 9 If you happen to sell milk into order 4, you had an op portunity to contribute a very small portion of each milkcheck to the advertising of your product. If you sell your milk to a local dairy, you also had an op portunity to contribute to some local advertising. Did you con tribute? Actual dollars are not the only way to give your industry sup port The old addage about flies, honey and vinegar, is very ap plicable. In this case, good quality milk is pure honey, while poor quality, off flavor milk is the vinegar of your industry. The consumer is more critical of the food industry every day The dairy industry traditionally has had the strictest of quality and sanitation regulations But tradition and regulations will not insure a quality product if you do not do your part every day To the consumer, quality means two things shelf-life and flavor Certainly shelf-like is a direct measure of sanitation from milky pail to consumer package - get it off to a good clean start Flavor is just a little more complicated than even sanitation Flavor or “off flavor” can be the result of many factors, most of which are under your control Just on May 24th I had a call concerning strong garlic ~ wild dhion taste in milk produced right here in Lancaster County' Even though my call was not the result of a consumer complaint - how many consumers were offended by this off flavor 9 A terrible price to pay, for one dairyman’s mistake Get those cows off pasture before lunch if you have any feeling that there will be a grass or garlic flavor in the milk. Sour, high moisture corn silage from the bottom of an upright silo can also cause flavor problems Use good feeding management as a means of producing quality milk How is your public image 9 If you were a consumer and you drove past your farm - would you want to drink milk that was produced under these conditions 9 Overflowing liquid manure pits, manure carelessly sloped on the driveway or pubhc road, junked machinery, cows up to their bellies in mud and manure, broken window s, dead calves out back, dirty windows, broken fences, “country smell”, and on and on. Sure you may be able to produce a high quality product under these conditions, but does the consumer know that. Let’s remember to look at things from the otherside of the consumer fence once in a while So Mr Dairyman, let's get off dead center, take advantage of a good situation and do something for your industry Some promotion on your part, no matter how small or what form it might come in. will certainly be a worthwhile contribution to your industry.
