Dr. Louis Moore addressed the subject of “Marketing Dairy Products,” a subject breeders seemed eager to leam more about. Running concurrent to the seminars was a ladies program, featuring a wok cooking demon stration by Fran Horst. The Annual Meeting Luncheon was held Thursday, with Jim Crowley, University of Wisconsin, as guest speaker. Crowley is probably best known for his writings in Hoard's Dairyman. Crowley, who has spent all of his life in the dairy business, remarked that the dairy industry has undergone tremendous change in the last 25 years, but that the next 25 years will probably prove to be far more dynamic. With humorous anecdotes, Crowley described some of the problems that have troubled dairymen through the years, and the changes they will encounter in the coming years. Crowley said the new dairy bill currently being finalized in Congress is similar to the PIK program, with incentives not to produce. But, he noted, in 1985 an entirely new Farm Bill will be signed into law. “Predictions are that it will be a totally new concept and will do away with parity,” said Crowley. After giving light-hearted illustrations of the various types of dairy farmers, from the op portunist, who is in and out every year, to the plunger, who jumps into everything, Crowley stated, “No matter what type of dairyman you are, your investments must be sound. When you invest a dollar you must be certain that you get more than a dollar back, preferrably two.” “You must stay up to date,” cautioned Crowley, “Test your feed, balance your rations 'and improve the overall management of your operation. ” Don Ace, Penn State, who grew up on a Brown Swiss dairy farm in Pennsylvania, was the master of ceremonies for the luncheon. Representing Governor Dick Thornburgh and Secretary of Agriculture Penrose HaUowell, Chester Heim, deputy secretary of agriculture, read a greeting from the governor to the delegation.
