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.

1962 Sales

Oregon farmers counted higher
cash receipts in 1962 with sales
un on both livestock and crop
products over l'.Kil, reports Mrs.
Klvera Horrcll, Oregon Slate uni
versity extension' agricultural
economist.
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.

how much Oregon farmers had left

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.
