The Otego, NY dairyman pointed out that a Cornell study has evaluated the effect of various merger possibilities among the Orders but ‘as a practical matter, we don’t foresee it coming within a next five years Anyone looking further ahead than that in this industry has a better crystal ball than mine One of the most significant factors affecting the market Orders,” said Rutherford, is the change in the pricing between fluid (Class I) and manufacturing (Class II) milk In 1969,’ he said, the October Class I price in the New York-New Jersey Order exceeded the Class II price by 59 percent Eleven years later, in October 1979, the difference between the Class rmsAmssik ' ' T.S. BURKHOLDER FARM REFRIGERATION 1 price and the Class II price was only 13 percent This is mainly the result of moving from $4 50 mik to $l2 50 milk with no other significant changes in the basic pricing relationship between the two classes.” Rutherford also told the delegates representing most major U.S. dairy cooperatives that he ex pects, "a definite change in the way we price the com ponents of milk ” He explained that as things now stand the price farmers are paid for milk is out of step with the real value of the two major components, butterfat and protein (non fat solids ) Under the Order system,” he said, 'we ac tually over-price butterfat and under-price skim milk It we start taking the value of skim into consideration, we find ourselves right in the middle of pricing milk on the basis ot its component parts ot butterfat and milk solids We are not going to be able to avoid facing up to the situation much longer ’ - ® ( S if smootn and easy operator is m 30 deep milking area (6) and he milks cows by moving in a circular pattern around parlor Udder stimulators (7) can be used to prepare cows The operator attaches the milker unit When cow has been milked the milker unit can be removed by automated take off units or manually The cows leave the parlor m the return lane (8) Power operated cutting gates (9) can be used to divert cows that need treatment into a catch pen (10> automatic take ott units on the milking machines and such other automated units as the Clay Cow Fetch crowd gate automatic udder stimulators power operated cutting gates Fasv Action doors and feed bowl closures make this design a model tor efficiency and economical operation In a fully automated 12 Stall Trigon one man can milk up to 80 cows per hour 1 , ® V®
