By January 19741 was persuaded that the AGRI-KING program cost too much, but 1 did feel that AGRI-KING was on the right track by feeding energy to high producers. I was getting more milk than I ever got in my life. I was feeding shelled com, soybean meal, dical calcium and the AGRI-KING products. A local feed man convinced me to switch to a supplement and shelled com because it was cheaper to make a ton of feed. My cows that were milking 65 to 70 lbs. milk dropped to 50 to 60 lbs. milk and this happened within a week. I had fresh cows over this time but the milk in my bulk tank kept dropping. Within two months I knew that I badly needed AGRI-KING again. I learned that I cannot gauge my dairy operation by what it costs to buy products but by what it cost me to produce 100 lbs. milk. While off the program, according to my records, my feed cost per ton was cheaper, but my feed cost to produce 100 lbs. of milk was higher. So on April 14,19741 called the AGRI-KING serviceman to take samples and get me started on the program again.” sms- mar*-*' S££.| u£«? W>2 Cones, °*a.
