Through January 31,

on the farm.” One such seminar
was held Tuesday, and Don Mah
landt, director of dairy feed sales,
said the educational programs are
held to help dairymen improve
their operations.
“Every year dairy farmers look
for ways to improve everything
they do,” Mahhmdt said. “This
year, profitability is one of the key
factors. And as a feed company,
we need to help our customers stay
in business, and so we bring in
speakers to help them.
Dr. Timothy Snyder, manager
of dairy nutrition, agreed. “We are
excited about the potential for
dairymen who adapt to the chang
ing industry. We have a progres
sive group of customers and our
job is to keep them aware of how
they can take advantage of these
changes.”
Snyder listed new milk product
packaging and aggressive market
ing as reasons to be optimistic
about the dairy industry. In addi
tion, new milk labeling and milk
price guarantees via forward con
tracts are now available. The 1997
average milk price will be at
$13.25, the third highest, and the
1998 price outlook is as good as
last year if not better.
Speakers especially emphasized
the need to get the most from your
grain by proper balancing of
rations and using the best process

production increase over tradition
al grinding.
An increase in rolling herd aver
age from 18,000 pounds to 24,000
pounds makes a considerable
increase in profitability even if you
pay more per ton of feed. Dairy
men were urged to know their cost
of production and to make deci
sions beyond the traditional way of
thinking. Maybe it’s not profitable
to do everything on your farm, but
by using a neighbor to grow heifen
or do some other part of your oper
ation, you may make a good eco
nomic move.
There was also special emphasis
for using new monitering tools and
methods to be able to take action
early if there is a health problem in
the herd. Also new feed additives
provide tools to enable you to bet
ter control problems at calving or
with the newborn calf.
Keeping on top of these new
tools and methods go a long way to
help the farmer to have a profitable
operation, and Pennfield considers
it their job to keep their customen
informed of these good practices,
as well as to provide products and
services that will enhance the far
mer’s profitability.
Other speakers on the Pennfield
Dairy Days programs are Dr. Nor
man St. Pierre, PAS. and Dr. Mike
Lormore, DVM. The meetings
cover the service area from New
York state, through Pennsylvania,
including western and central Pen
nsylvania, and Maryland.
