Show pr py Dairy" Industry Mdvm Comback Have you ever taken a minute or two to analyze the problems that continually confront farmers? If you have, you have also noticed that a farmer can bounce back after a near catastrophe. That is what dairy farmers are doing in Millard County, Utah. It was a sad day on February 0, 1964 when a verbal notice was1 given to the producers of dairy products who marketed at the Brooklawn Creamery Company in Delta, as follows: "Your milk will not be accepted accept-ed at our cheese factory at Delta, Utah effective February 10. This action is being taken because deposits of dieldrin or heptachlor residue were found in the products pro-ducts in excess of the tolerance permitted by law." This had a far-reaching effect upon the people whe were in the dairy business, and especially those; larger producers of milk who were r - , ' completely removed from the commercial com-mercial market because of th.'s action. Farmers in general accepted this restraint because they certainly did not want to sell a product that might be injurious in any way to the health of the consumer, even though it curtailed their own means of livelihood. As a result of this restriction,' there were facts these producers must face; especially the fact that raws must, hp mi km dailv. wmcn , - resulted in an abundance of milk with no particular use for it. As Wallace Jeffery, owner of Jeffery Dairy, said, "There is nothing that will drive a man crazy faster than milking milk and pouring it on the ground." There were several alternatives producers could choose from: (1) . they could sell the dairy cows for beef, (2) they could buy calves to use the milk, (3) they could feed . the milk to hogs, or (4) they could separate and churn butter, make ice cream, etc. All these were used, but in general the dairy business was put out of commission. It was discouraging to note the effect of such a sudden change in the economy due to the loss of a small industry. A survey was made by the ASCS Office to determine -what effect this bad had on the general economy of the area. Mr. Otis Walch, manager of the , First Security Bank in Delta, was contacted. He reported that he had s noticed some payments were delin- gome Qf q producers from the creamery. He also favor-quent favor-quent on notes of some of the af- lnclude C(mrad stanworth Bernard ed the production of a quality protected pro-tected producers, that additional Jacks(m and hig Robert andduct- requests for loans were received, and paul Johngon There ,g Jn evaluating the farming in and that interest m some cases activit around the yards of Eich. dustry and the farmers themselves, was delinquent.

Sales of feed, mainly gram and concentrates, were curtailed sharp- ly. In November, 1964, under a USDA r Emergency Program, ASCS was given the responsibility of deler-mining deler-mining the loss sustained by the producer and making compensation compensa-tion for the loss of milk that w is held off the market during the quarantine period. This program helped to pay current bills during an adjustment period. This could have been a very i -couraging set-back for Millard County, but farmers, being enU-r- prising as they are, acted immediately immedi-ately to combat the chemical problem. prob-lem. The Millard County Commission Commis-sion took action to outlaw the use of chemicals with hydrocarbon bases in the county. New chemicals were developed and used to control insects. At the time the ban was made, there were approximately 110 milk and cream producers marketing 11,600 lbs. of milk from 552 cows. Many of these were small produC' ers who sold milk that was not used from the family cow or only Funeral arrangements will be an-in an-in small amounts. These small n0unced through the daily papers, producers have nearly all eliminat-, ed themselves from the market. There were three employees at the Brooklawn Creamery in Delta, with four milk haulers. For some time following the re-opening of the Creamery, the manager, Don Webb, ' was the only employee who received, re-ceived, processed and marketed the acceptable milk. At the present time, there is about 14,000 lbs. of milk from an estimated 466 cows being sold daily to the Brooklawn Creamery In Delta. There are 55 dairymen pro- ducing and selling milk. Most of the producers who separated their milk and sold cream have discon-, tinued this practice. There are now five full-time employees and two : milk haulers. Several of the larger producers deliver their own milk in bulk tank. The enthusiasm for the dairy business at the time of this writing, five years after the ban, is very encouraging.

We know that all the servicemen service-men appreciate organizations such as yours that give willing support sup-port and backing to the Armed Services. We hear all too much about protestors and "draft dodgers," dodg-ers," and not enough about organizations organi-zations such as yours, although there are many of them.
