winner was Matthew Edwards. In
the woman’s there was a tie bet
ween Sue Kulp and Elsie Wolff.
And in the men’s division, the
winner was Earl Keefer.
With the exception of Ardrossen
Farms, Villanova, the Conebella
Farm is probably the oldest
Ayrshire dairy farm in the state.
Started in the 30’s by Charles
Gable’s father, C. Harold Gable,
the operation has grown to its
present size. The farm has 198
acres planted mainly in com and
alfalfa.
Conebella Farms has received 23
consecutive breeder awards and
has developed 36 cows with over
100,000 pounds of milk, and six of
these exceeded 150,000 pounds.
The current DHIA rolling herd
average on 61 cows is 13,995 pounds
of milk and 596 pounds of fat, with
a 4.3 percent test.
On July 27, 1981, nine animals in
the herd scored 90 points or better
with an official average of 81
points. Conebella Ora Renee
scored 94 points.
The free stall heifer bam was
built m 1972 and the mam bam
remodeled in 1980. The mam bam
is a stall bam equipped with
pipeline milkers. The managers
are flush with the feed alley and
finished with glazed tile.
The managers m the heifer bam
are also lined with glazed tile. The
8-feet-wide service alleys are
mam tamed with-a bam cleaner.
Ventilation provided by four fans
was more than adequate and even
though all the doors were open a fly
was hard to fmd.
President Keefer made his
remarks after lunch after a fme
rendition of popular and gospel
songs by The Goodwill Barbershop
Quartet, a local group.
Keefer said the dairy business
was headed for a period of
challenge and uncertainty. The
population will mcrease by 1%
over the next five years but there
will be a greater percentage of
semor citizens—low consumers of
milk—and a smaller percentage of
people under 19 years of age.
Therefore the trend will be toward
USDA quarantines
to contain Fla.
medfly outbreak
WASHINGTON, D.C. - The U.S.
Department of Agriculture has
established emergency regulations
to restrict movement of 81 kinds of
produce and plants from the
Tampa, Florida, area to prevent
the spread of Mediterranean fruit
flies.
According to Assistant Secretary
of Agriculture C.W. McMillan, the
regulated produce and plants can
serve as Medfly hosts.
The quarantined area includes a
48-square-mile area in
Hillsborough County, centered in
the Ybor City section of Tampa.
The area is bounded on the north
by Hillsborough Ave. (U.S. Rt. 92),
on the east by Williams Road, on
the south by a line Ms mile north of
state route 676 A and on the west by
Nebraska Ave.
McMillan said a public hearing
to receive comment on the action
will be held September 15, at 10
a.m. in the Ybor Room, Curtis
Hixon Convention Hall, 600 Ashley
Drive, in Tampa.
“This quarantine action, coupled
with a parallel action by the
Florida Department of Agriculture
and Consumer Services, is
designed to contain the Florida
breeders
less not more milk consumption
per capita.
In 1974 milk was the number one
beverage in this country. Today it
ranks fourth behind soft drinks,
coffee, and beer. The dairy in
dustry invested 21 million dollars
in advertising this past year while
soft drinks invested 181 million and
beer 225 million dollars.
While milk demand is falling he
said, milk production is increasing
2% times faster than cow numbers
are decreasing.
“We, today, are not producing
for the market place, but for the
government”. The alternatives for
the dairyman he stated is to cull
cows, take a close look at the
bottom 5 to 7 percent of your herd,
step up advertising by from 50 to
100 percent, reduce your debt load
to lessen the pressure for poorer
quality and higher production.
For the Ayrshire cow to compete
successfully m die future it must
become larger with good feet and
legs, and have an improved ability
to convert more milk from larger
amounts of roughage and less
gram.
Smaller cows which are
profitable now will not be able to
compete m the future. The export
of feed grains and the production of
alcohol from com will make cheap
feed a thing of the past.
Doug Dodds, Executive
Secretary for the association told
the group that, while he didn’t have
a crystal ball, he felt that cows
close to production age would
bring a good pnce in the fall, there
would be a soft market for heifers
with some time to go. He also
mentioned that the forced sale of
an Ayrshire herd m Wisconsin
averaged $2530 per cow.
Milton Brubaker gave out 41
production awards for the
association. 30 were the individual
cows and 11 were herd awards.
Mielke Heinz for Ardrossan Farms
collected 21 certificates.
One of the awards was for top
herd in the state which produced
an average of 16,784 pounds of milk
with 687 pounds of butterfat and a 4
percent test, for the 119-cow
operation at the Villanova farm.
outbreak while we work with the
state to eliminate it,” said Greg
Rohwer of USDA’s Animal and
Plant Health Inspection Service.
“Previous outbreaks of the pest in
Florida in 1929, 1956,1962 and 1963
were all elimiated.”
Regulated items include
tomatoes, peppers, apples,
apricots, avocados, some kinds of
oranges and lemons, cherries,
grapes, grapefruit, mangoes,
peaches, pears, and many other
kinds of fruits, vegetables, nuts
and ornamentals.
“These regulations were mad
