State dairy farmers set two
LANCASTER - Penn
sylvania dairy farmers set
two new records in 1979. For
the first tune they produced
over eight billion pounds of
milk with a farm value
exceeding one billion
dollars.
Twenty years ago, milk
production in the Com
monwealth was short of total
consumption by about 15 per
cent. In 1979, production was
20 per cent over con
sumption.

has developed at a fairly
uniform rate, says Blair J.
Smith, associate professor of
agricultural economics at
Penn State.
“Pennsylvania consumers
should be pleased with the
developing surpluses,”
Smith stated, “since surplus
milk has the effect of holding
prices down through com
petition for sales. Also,
surpluses avoid some of the
higher costs of moving milk
from more distant areas. ’ ’
He indicated Pennsylvania

Commonwealth has been
among the top five milk
producing states for many
years. Dairying is first
among all agricultural
enterprises in the state, Dr.
Smith noted, with dairy
farms accounting for about
50 per cent of the total value
of sales by all farmers in the
Commonwealth.
He said two factors ac

deficit to surplus milk
production. First, milk

increased by 22 to 23 per cent
from 1959 to 1979. Second,
consumption of milk in all
uses declined by 18 to 19 per
cent per person in the same
years
The position of Penn
sylvania m milk-sufficient in
contrary to that of the
Northeast generally, it was
pointed out. Deficits of 15 to
20 per cent have been
estimated for Ohio and West
Virginia and the 11 ad
ditional states north and east
of these two.
For the United States as a
whole, production and
consumption are in close
balance every year because
both exports and imports of
dairy products are small and
tend to largely offset one
another.
Smith and other
economists are not certain
why the upward trend in
milk self-sufficiency is so
marked in Pennsylvania
What will happen in the
future is even less sure.
Pennsylvania dairymen
have always had the ad
vantage of closeness to large
consuming populations.
Increased costs of tran
sportation, relative to other
cost, have made nearness to
markets increasingly im
portant.

The satisfaction that cones
from doing a good job of farming
It’s a great feeling to know that you are the master of
your farmlands . that when you treat your soil right,
it will treat you right Liming is one of the most im
portant factors in keeping your soil in the highest
productive range A good pasture with a pH of 6.5 or
higher, for example, will make 300 to 490 lbs. of beef
per acre and produce up to $lOO gross income per acre.
This means with the help of lime, profits from pastures
can compare favorably with f eed or grain crops.
