FEED LETTER
Pioneer - Nutrena
For many years, the Hales & Hunter Co. sold
feed under the brand names of Pioneer and
Red Comb. Many farmers felt quite com
fortable with those names. I'm sure that many
of our friends will be saddened to learn that
these names will now be replaced by another.
In 1969 the company was bought by Cargill
Inc., who also sells feed under the brand name
of Nutrena. For awhile after we became part of
the family it was best to keep the old Pioneer
and Red Comb names. Now however, using
two names to sell the same feed is becoming,
not only bothersome, but costly. All literature
tags, bags, and supplies bearing a trade name,
had to be made twice, once for each name. It
was added expense that didn't add to the value
of the feed. Now, we'll both have the same
name. Since Nutrena had more mills, and was
known over a larger area, that's the name we'll
all use.
You may wonder about the feeds themselves.
Well, we've been selling the same feeds tor
the past four years, so there is nothing to
change there. Some of the feeds now sold
under either name were only developed after
the merger, and became available to both
groups at the same time. Feeds like the blender
feeds for high moisture programs, the hog
mixer program. Vitality Horse feed, and the pig
pre-starter which has been improved twice
since 1969.

Milk Takes
Many Forms
Just from visiting the dairy
case at the supermarket, you
know that a shopper can
choose from milk in several
forms. But did you realize
that there are this many?
Whole Fresh Fluid Milk
Whole milk is defined in
many states as milk that con
tains not less than 3.25 per
cent milk fat and not less
than 8.25 percent milk solids
non-fat. Most of the whole
fluid milk sold in the United
States is pasteurized and
homogenized.
Raw Milk—Milk that receives
no heat treatment is called
raw milk.
Certified Milk —Since 1893,
certification on the container
has meant that conditions
under which the milk was
produced and distributed
conform with the high
standards for cleanliness
established by the American
Association of Medical Milk
Commissions.
This milk may be raw or
pasteurized. It may be ho
mogenized and vitamin D
fortified.
Fortified Milks These con
tain added amounts of one
or more of the essential nu
trients usually found in milk.
Concentrated Milks Fresh,
frozen, evaporated, con
densed, and dried milks are
in this category. Water from
the milk is removed under
carefully controlled condi
tions of heat and vacuum.
The milk is reconstituted by
restoring the water.
Sldm Milk Fat is removed
from whole milk by centrif
ugation to produce skim milk.
The resulting fat content is
usually 0.1 percent, although
it may vary slightly. States
set their own standards,
which vary from 8.0 to 9.25
percent as the minimum for
total solids in skim milk. The
product is pasteurized.
Two Percent Milk—This milk
is named for the fact that it
contains 2 percent milk fat.
It is pasteurized and homog-

emzed, and made from both
fresh whole and skim milk.
It may be enriched by add
ing milk solids-non-fat and
various vitamin and mineral
preparations.
Cultured Milks - Prepared
from pasteurized or sterilized
milk, cultured milks include
a variety of products, the
best known of which is but
termilk. Certain desirable
bacterial cultures have been
added. These grow under
controlled conditions of san
itation, inoculation and tem
perature to yield the desired
cultured milk.
Flavored Milk and Milk
Drinks Whole milk plus
syrup or powder containing
a wholesome flavoring agent
and sugar is a flavored milk.
In contrast, a flavored milk
drink is skim or partially
skimmed milk similarly fla
vored and sweetened. Fla
vored milk and milk drinks
are pasteurized and usually
homogenized.
Even though people of
drinking age in the United
States consumed 21.95 gal
lons of beer, 1.9 gallons of
distilled spirits and 1.3 gal
lons of wine per capita last
year, milk still continues to
be the major beverage con
sumed by Americans
Based on per capita sales
of fresh fluid milk, Ameri
cans of all ages averaged
nearly 26 gallons per capita
last year.

Three-Fourths of
Households Have
Whole Milk On Hand
In a recent survey on the
use of dairy products, three
fourths of the households had
whole milk on hand, while
less than one-fifth had skim
or lowfat milk. About 98
percent of U.S. households
have used regular whole milk
and almost 40 percent have
purchased lowfat fluid milk.
Whole milk was purchased
by more than 60 percent of
the homemakers for its con
tribution to good health. The
food value and nutrients in
milk such as protein and cal
cium were mentioned most
often. About 80 percent of
the homemakers purchasing
lowfat fluid milk did so for
health or dietary reasons,
mainly weight control.
About 90 percent had con
sumed cottage cheese, but
only 37 percent had some on
hand Almost all had pur
chased ice cream and over
50 percent had some in the
freezer. Seventy percent had
purchased ice milk, although
only 14 percent had ice milk
at home.
Seventy percent of the
households had used light
cream, but only 10 percent
had some in the refrigerator
at the time of the survey. Al
most half of the nearly 70
percent using non-dairy cof
fee creamers had some on
hand
