National Jersey Convention (Continued from Pago AM) tion was down in May, indicating a trend toward a better supply and demand balance. The strength of the cull cow market is also an indicator that the milk price will rebound quickly, Clauss said. Another indicator that the milk price will rise is the USDA’s revised estimated average milk price for 1991. Operating with a Jersey dairy herd “Many times I stop and think how much more difficult it would be to dairy with another breed, especially in this time of low prices. On the production end, is we all know. Jerseys are the uost efficient converters of for ages and grains into high quality milk. On the plant end, Jersey milk is the most profitable milk used for manufacturing. My milk market recognizes and compensates me for the profitable milk. The price I receive ... is over 25 percent higher than the price paid for aver age milk.” A growing acceptance of multiple component pricing and renewed interest in higher mini mum standards for fluid milk I am convinced that these two programs are the best means to strengthen the dairy industry. I have seen how higher minimum standards can help sell more milk. California has had such standards for the last 25 years.” Clauss said that all dairymen should write and call their federal representatives immediately to urge support of pending legislation @> ROOF VENTS: Increased Drying Efficiency CORRUGATED HOLD DOWN AND FLANGED RING hhpi^ihhhhihhhhhh m IBS m m / (gsD m m • 2S* Inclined m YOUR EXCLUSIVE®SI m m CGBi m @) SBi m GSi SSr which would increase standards for all milk. The National All-Jersey Inc. “NAJ played a vital role in working with die Jersey producers in my area to develop our equitable milk market NAJ has helped thou sands of Jersey producers in mark eting their milk for a fair and equit able price. Last year alone, we esti mate, as a result of equitable milk pricing, Jersey producers received over an additional $2O million for their milk. Jersey producers paid .. . $190,000 in the form of equity fees. This $190,000 was used by NAJ to help you as Jersey produc ers to receive that additional money. That is over a hundred fold return on investment.” Clauss also said the NAJ is strong for Jersey breeders because, “With all the activity taking place in regards to the national dairy pol icy, Jersey producers must be united in one organization to look out for our best interests.
