—Lancaster Farming, Saturday, Dec. 11, 1976 80 LEAKS IN THE MANAGEMENT BUCKET The effect that a leaking milk pail would have on profits should seem obvious to most dairymen - but, How many small “profit leakers” are keeping you from reaching the mcome levels that you deserve from your labors? Just for the moment let’s forget about the big management decisions affecting dairy farm income such as feeding, breeding and farm financial management.

Proper maintenance of milking equipment has to be one of the most neglected jobs on the farm. A daily check of oil level, belts and proper regulation function takes less time than it does to read this article, yet this job is often given once-a-month priority. A new pump, im proper milking function or a severe outbreak of'mastitis is a stiff penalty to pay for the lack of simple and vejy inexpensive maintenance.

Your business seems to demand them today, but have you purchased wisely. Right - each of them only cost a few dollars to purchase, but how much- did they cost you to use. legitimate companies spent millions of dollars testing products and properly labeling them and then you either buy an unlabeled product that a friendly salesman says will work or misuse a properly labeled product. It makes more sense to me to believe the pros rather than the misguided judgement of the friendly idiot. What about waste around the farm? Just a little mineral spilled here and some feed there. Doesn’t amount to much you say. Well, add it all up.
