Support Your Industry
So June is “dairy month” - Big
Deal! 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.
