Milk Output Down j
Dairymen Cite High Coif~
Milk output for 1973 de
clined about three percent while
consumption increased. It was
the second year in a row that
consumption increased. Before
those two years, milk consump
tion had declined every year for
the past 18 years, since 1955.
Many reasons are given for
decreased production. The top
three are high feed costs, strong
/ dairy cow slaughter and lowered
milk production per cow.
For the first time in 30 years
dairy cows come in with lowered
milk production. Until 1973,
dairy farmers had been able to
achieve a three percent annual
average increase by boosting
grain and concentrate feedings
BURNSVILLE, N.C. 28714
of five and one-half percent.
Feed prices, which account
for approximately one-half of
the dairymen’s cost, rose
dramatically in 1973. As these
prices peaked in August, they
were n.ore than double those of
earlier year levels. One common
protein ration rose 45 percent
during the year; other feeds
followed suit. By August, the
milk-feed price ratio (number of
pounds of feed equal in value to
a whole pound of milk) reached
sl.lß the lowest level since
1955.
In January, 1973, the num
ber of milk cows declined by one
percent. By November the
decline had reached three
leader from Pensacola 4-H Club. Those attending Camp Schaub
were Mary Ann Allen, Kathy Lee Bailey, Patricia Lynn Banks,
Sharon Banks, Betty Lou Bledsoe, Jan Blair, Kenny Cooper, Myron
Kyle Edwards, David Fortner, Lisa Renee Grindstaff, Jeffrey
Howell, Olivia Leatherwood, Audrey Leatherwood, Robbie Morrow,
Alma Ogle, Larry Ogle, Lavenia Peterson, Roger Peterson, Sherri
Phillips, Gregory Phillips, Renee Riddle, Greg Shepherd, Ray
Shepherd, Eugene Tschudy, Steven Turman, Jeff Whitson, Jeff
Yuziuk, Bobby Joe Young, Patricia Ballew, Lisa Haney, Terry

percent, which represented
11,323,000 milk cows. This was
the sharpest drop since 1970.
High prices for feed as well as
increased prices they could
receive for cattle prompted
many a dairyman simply to give
up his operation.
Milk prices took seven to
nine price jumps, depending
upon the area, totaling a record
42 percent from a year ago when
milk was selling for sl.Ol per
gallon as compared with the
present $1.43 or more. This, of
course, reflects the price of feed
as well as the supply-demand
picture.
Nancy Holcombe, Historian and
Ginger Phillips, Publicity
Chairman.
Officers were installed by
Mr. Charlie Hensley who
devoted much time and pre
paration for this event.

sented to WKYK Radio Station

area.
