Issues in the past years have been successes now,” he said. “The role the farm computer will play in the future will also be a challenge,” he noted. With private enterprises more available, without boundaries, DHIA is faced for the first time, with real com Robert Kindig \w . 4p. % dB9 Feeder When Performance Makes The Difference petition. “We can’t afford to lose herds to this type of practice,” he emphasized. The best information comes from large herds and it is important to keep this type of record in the DHIA system.” Another issue facing DHIA, is whether to eliminate state boun- daires. “Where will the farmers in outlying areas go,” he questioned. “WUI they go to cheaper prices or good quality or will they be lost?” These are some of the questions yet to be answered, but must be addressed before it’s too late. More mergers across the country have formed to condense and to gain strength. “This is a good sign,” he noted. The growth hormone is still a questionable issue. “At this time,” he said, “DHIA’s role is one of awareness.” All records are handled the same, DHIA just wants to know who is using it and on which cows. “DHIA is still the envy of other countries,” he stated. “As a director, I’m confident we can do whatever has to be done.” The successes in the past have proven that, Kindig explained. Following Kindig’s speech, president Wayne Collison in troduced Dr. George Haenlein to give the annual herd summary report.

There are 46 herds on test in the three-county state. In New Castle County the top for milk and butterfat was Dave Reed. He averaged 18,491 pounds of milk and 669 pounds of fat on 38 cows. The top herd in Kent County for milk went to Norman Voss. His 96 cows averaged 21,641 pounds of milk. Mr. Wyatt had the high herd for fat with 756 pounds of fat on 21 cows. J. E. and S. Bailey had the top herd for milk and fat in Sussex County with 21,743 pounds of milk and 763 pounds of fat on 111 cows. Three herds averaged above 21,000 pounds of milk in the three counties. They were the Baileys, Wyatts and Voss’. This is a first for the state. The top cow for lifetime of fat production was Jenny owned by Middessa Farm Lloyd and David Sheats. She has, at 13 years of age, 7,560 fat and 232,769 mUk. The award for top cow for milk went to William Wells of White Oak Farm. His cow had, at 13 years of age, 237,328 pounds of milk and 7,164 pounds of fat.
