Oregon Breeders Name Sill Beef Specialist Dairy Industry Trends -Show Fewer Processors WASHINGTON (LTD - The trend in the dairy industry ap pears to be toward fewer but larger processors. An Agriculture Department study said that if current trends continue without change through the mid-1960's, dairy processors will become fewer in number with greater volume per plant. The number of firms churning butter, for example, dropped from 2,477 in 1954 to 1,516 in 1961, a decrease of 38 per cent. By 1967, (lie number should be down anoth er 30 per cent. Between 1954 and 1961 annual butter production per plant increased 53 per cent to 979.000 pounds. The department's projections for 1967 rest on three assumptions: That close to present levels of price support will operate through 1967; the growth of the entire economy will continue at present rates: and technology in the dairy industry will continue to advance at roughly the same pace. While farmers have increased their milk marketings some 27 per cent over the past 15 years, the number of dairy processors has dropped sharply. In 1958, a total of 5.817 fluid milk plants was in operation, a drop of 13 per cent from 1954. remember; when it comes to a truck, see Bob or t Juck Trucks are their business! JUCKELAND MOTORS, Inc.

Preliminary estimates place Oregon's 1962 cash receipts from farm marketings at approximate ly $430 million, up four per ceirt from 1961 and Hie second nign cst on record, she said. The total figure does not include direct gov ernment payments to farmers. Drawine iinon U.S. Department of Agriculture reports and oilier Information, Mrs. hoitcu point ed nut that livestock accounted for around $199 million, up two per cent lor the year, crop re ceipts were boosted some six per cent to approximately $231 mil ium. Oregon marketings were heavier last year and prices av eraged higher. Last year's estimated total ol $430 million was exceeded only in lnsi. the record high year of livestock and livestock products receipts, she noted. The record high for crops was in 1952. nreiinn's farm sales started slowly in 1962, with the first four months below the same lime in 1961. In May, however, the tide turned and each month except October saw sales receipts lop ping the same month a year earlier, Mrs. Horreii poinicu oui. llnwever. it is slill not known how much Oregon farmers had left alter paying their expenses, the economist stressed. op an artificial insemination pro gram for the beet caltlc industry in Oregon. Artificial insemination has been used in the dairy cattle industry for almost 20 years and has con tributed greatly to the improve ment of the quality of the dairy cattle in the stale. Developments during the last few years have proven that A. I. can be used successfully in the beef industry and can be an important factor in improving the producing quali ty of beef cattle. The Oregon Breeders Association is develop ing a beef cattle insemination program and has hired Sill to work w ith (he beef producers in establishing and supervising this program. Sill was raised in Oregon, grad uated from Oregon Slate Univer sity and spent several years man aging beef ranches in Eastern Oregon. For the last few years Sill has worked as an agricultural representative for the First Na tional Bank in Eastern Oregon and more recently in the Trust Department of the Main Office of the Bank in Portland. Sill will continue to live in Grcsham but will spend most of his time in the field working with beef ranchers. VALLEY PUMP AND EQUIPMENT CO.
