General Manager of Sire
Power, W. Lewis Campbell
was the feature speaker at
the meeting. Campbell’s in
spiring talk on The Decade
of the Seventies brought at
tention to changes in cow
numbers and DHIA, genetic
advancements in A.I. and
the dairyman in the future.
Campbell said the future is
bright for the dairyman and
not to be fearful of new
techniques and practices in
the dairy industry. He said
political downfall and infla
tion has been the enemy of
all, but not to lose faith as a
dairyman.
He pointed out the com
parison of the increase of
milk prices to the average
breeding fee. The price per
100 pounds of milk has doubl-
6BODT s
ed whereas the average
breeding fee in the last ten
years has risen from $7.22 to
$11.31.
“Today’s dairymen are
better educated, more
knowledgeable, and manage
larger herds. They have
opportunities for almost
unlimited sire selection”,
says Campbell.
“The future of your co-op
is up to you. NEBA is going
into the 80’s financially
strong and the dairyman
should demand good service
from highly proven bulls for
continued success,” said
Campbell in his concluding
remarks.
At the meeting, retiring
NEBA Vice-President, Chet
Hale was honored with pla
que in appreciation of long
and dedicated service.
The Long 610-DT is a four-wheel drive
version offering added traction for those
tough operating conditions. Less wheel
slippage means more economy plus
added efficiency. Ideal for plowing, load
ing, disking' and hauling. It adds up to
efficiency with more weight per dollar
than any other tractor in its class, that we
know of.
