ra PURINA RESEARCH FARM KJ
llijl. tour update
Approximately 120 dairy farmers from Pennsylvania, Maryland, and New York visited the Purina Mills Research Farm
during the last week of August. Located in Gray Summit, Missouri, Purina conducts performance trials to see what
feeds provide superior performance under conditions found on your farm. All aspects of dairy research is studied.
We asked farmers from Lancaster, Lebanon, and Berks Counties in Pennsylvania to give us their opinions of what they
saw... here’s what they had to say:
“It was reassuring to find that Purina Mills is dedicated to bringing us top
quality feed through their extensive research.*
“Purina is the No. 1 feed company in the U.S.A. Fm proud to he a customer.’
“Purina is more than they advertise to eel*
“Our trip to the Purina Research Pam was my educational. Ths operation
is clean and the equipment appears to be the best- As I watch my heifers
grow and develop I will be able to appreciate the effort put in by the Purina
Research Team. I very much enjoyed the fellowship of the trip.*
"The research farm was great. The clinics were very educational. I learned
many things about cows that I did not know. The products and the way the
animals were growing makes me want to feed your feed.’
“Purina research has the finest technology and is a great tool *
“After visiting the research farm you get the checkerboard in your blood.
Purina has a very good set-up.”
“Purina research is no. 1 in the feed industry. The Purina products are the
best on the market*
“I was impressed with the practicality of the research facility and the research
itself. Their ideas could be used by the average dairyman*
“A real winner keeps trying new ways to stay ahead of the rest. Keep up the
work on the best ways to make profits. The tour was real interesting*
“I got a broad view of what’s behind the Purina name. No wonder the feed
salesman can talk for hours when they come to our farm.’
“Your farm tour was educational and satisfying knowing firsthand that the
products you sell are researched and tested. After this visit I have so
reservations about recommending Purina products to fellow farmers.*
