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

Facts for
dairymen
By Alan Bair
Assoc. 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

production, better herd

Certainly all dairymen will
not use all of the services
listed above all of the time,
but you should critically look
at all of the aspects of your
operation and take ad
vantage of these
professionals.
