Sander Jane RH 3-2 Can you afford to hire over a dozen highly trained specialists and consulting organizations to help run your typical 90 acre, 55 cow family dairy farm? You bet you can. In fact, this help comes a lot cheaper than the neighbor boy who comes over to feed heifers and unload hay. If there is one thing that farmers have over most industry is the fact that they have available to them the service of many consultants and highly trained technical labors. Considering that most consultants start at figures like $75 per hour and $2OO per day - you’re getting help at a bargain price. Are you taking advantage of this bargain in your farming busmess? I know, and you should be willing to admit, that it is physically and mentally impractical for you to be a : soils scientist, diesel mechanic, weather forecaster, dairy sanitarian, farm financial specialist, engineer, bovine nutritionist, forage specialist, veterinarian, A.I. technician, attorney and at the same time keep your rfttKOUMCCHty Oecx ‘TteW"' <p For more information, write or call collect: M.

County Agent Lancaster, Pa. own production records, other farm records, and run the co-op. This does not take into account the millions of dollars of computers, testing equipment and other hard ware required for the above'. And yes, I know that you need a few minutes each day to milk the cows and feed tham and to say nothing of your family and community responsibilities. Too many dairymen that I talk to are still trying to run a “one man show.” You must remember that you are competing in an economy where the competition is using these modern management tools and services. These professional “helpers” have an excellent success record, but you must give them a chance to work for you. For instance, the dairyman who took one forage test but never did any feed programming with those results was undoubtly disappointed. His $lO in vestment was a poor one. But his neighbor who may spend over $lOO in the course of a year for forage testing and feed programming has returned his investment HONEY BROOK Molasses ff Dried Henry E.
