Higher PROFITS
Group feeding is costly and ineffi
cient. To maximize your profits,
you’ve got to supply each cow with
the exact amount of feed she needs
to maintain her milk production level. Tb
putenzed Selective Feeder Executive
System lets you do just that. It’s so effective,
most dairymen find the system pays for itself in
reduced feed bills and increased production in
less than a year!
It's simple
You determine a daily feeding allowance for each cow by pro
gramming the computer to dispense a certain amount of feed
during each 6,8 or 12 hour cycle. You choose a unique ration
Jor each animal by mixing supplement and base rations with
Ime computer.
Each cow wears an inexpensive, reliable identification tag.
Cows can feed at any feeding station.
Feeding auger automatically stops when cow steps away.
Each cow receives only the amount of feed you have pro
grammed for it.

WASHINGTON, D.C. -
Secretary of Agriculture John R.
Block announced details of a
payment-in-king program on Jan.
11, for the 1963 crops of wheat,
com, grain sorghum, cotton and
rice. President Reagan announced
the program at the Farm Bureau
Federation meeting in Dallas on
the same day.
“PIK is basically simple,” Block
said. “A fanner who takes out of
production additional acres over
what he agrees to take out under
the current Farm Program will
receive as payment a certain
amount of the commodity he would
have grown on these acres. The
commodity is his to do with as he
wishes. Commodities for the PIK
program will come from the
Farmer-owned Reserve Program,
Regular Loan Programs or CCO
owned stacks.”
‘‘We have a three-fold objective
with PIK.” Block said. “Reduce
production, reduce surplus stock
holdings, and avoid increased
budget outlays that would other
wise be necessary under price
support programs.” Block said
worldwide demand is weak, due to
severe financial problems of major
foreign customers and a strong
* <»
dollar making our exports more
expensive. “It is unlikely our
surplus will be substantially
reduced any time soon by in
creased exports,” he said. "PIK is
aimed at bringing supply more in
line with demand.
“Farmers can expect to receive
the same or greater net returns
while the stock adjustments are
occurring. Commodity prices may
not increase significantly in the
near term, though they should firm
as storage payments permit
greater marketing flexibility and
buyers realize that stocks are
being reduced.
“Once stocks are reduced
significantly through the PIK
program, then substantial op
portunities for price increases will
exist. Fanners taking part in PIK
Money-saving management tool
You can get a printout from the Executive 8085 at
any time. Each printout gives you the valuable feed
management information;
• Amount of feed programmed for each cow
• Amount of feed dispensed to each cow, this cycle
• Amount of feed dis
pensed to each cow,
this month
• Summary of pre
vious cycle.
You can quickly spot
problem cows by
asking the computer
to print out all cows
not eating 75% of
their programmed
ration.
Total herd management system
For a total dairy management system, connect your
Selective Feeder System with our Zenith Farm
Management System. Readouts are available in your
office on the Zenith computer. Optional software
programs allow you to integrate health, breeding,
production and feeding management programs in one
computer system.

will also avoid some variable
coats, and their production risks
will also be lowered. In addition,
financially strapped farmers
participating in the PIK program
will not have to borrow as much for
production expenses.”
Signup for PIK will begin on Jan.
24 and run through March 11.
“Fanners have four possible
options for making their IMS
plans,” Block said. “They may
participate only in the regular
farm programs; participate in the
regular program plus the 10-30
percent PIK: withdraw the entire
base acreage if their whole base
bid is accepted; or not participate
at all.” Full program details for
Pennsylvania Feed Grain and
Wheat producers will be available
at ASCS County Offices on Jan. 24.
