These are among the most trying times for
dairy farmers and others in the industry.
Probably never before has dairying come
under more concentrated national scrutiny
and resulting pressures.
The typical dairy farm family finds itself
being pulled in several different directions all
at the same time.
There is the traditional pride of production
and achievement to “do the best I and my
herd can do" that has been passed down
generation after generation. It is coupled with
efforts to hold on to as much of a time-honored
way of life as modern pressures permit.
This rich heritage could be symbolized by

Self-help key to dairy’s future
What can I do to help promote and sell my milk?

the milk can -- a memento of dairy's past --
reproduced on this page. But mixed in the
traditional ingredients of that milk can are the
new challenges facing everyone in dairying..
There's the challenge to try and balance the
realistic economic needs of the individual with
the overall goals of the industry.
And, the need to become more involved in
the promotion of dairy products.
Many, as they sit around the kitchen table
after the evening milking, have likely asked:
“But what can I do?”
The theme of this issue is centered on
helping to answer that question. It is filled with
things that dairy families are doing -- not only

in their day-to-day operations but how they're
becoming involved after the milk leaves the
bulk tank.
Perhaps, some of the photos, features and
Swap Shop ideas will suggest something to
you. And these ideas don’t have to be limited
only to dairying. With minor changes, they can
be adapted to other segments of ag.
If you have any additional ideas, we’d like to
hear about them so we can pass them along.
Just as one vote can make a difference in an
election, one idea can make a difference in a
promotion.
