Dairy outlook
much
improved
A.A. Wall
Extension Branch
Ontario Department of
Agriculture and Food
Newmarket, Ontario
'Dairy farming has made an
almost complete turn-about in
the last two years. The change
has been gradual, however, and
there is a danger of hanging onto
ideas and attitudes that may have
been valid two years ago but are
dead wrong now.
Here, for example, are some
ideas we hear talked about often:
It .,doesn't pay to buy quota. It
doesn't pay to ship surplus. It's
impossible for a young farmer
to start up. It doesntt make
sense to increase the herd.
The supply-andedemand pic-
ture and price changes for dairy
products have made all of these
ideas obsorete. They were de-
veloped in the days When indus-
trial milk was at $3.50 and
storage was filled to the rafters
with milk powder and butter.
There's been a great im-
provement since then. The dairy
business has a good positive out-
look, even' though there are a
lot of soft sfots in other areas
of farming.
To be specific, let's take a
look at dairyihg from the point
of view of someone just starting.
About 30 cows would be minimum,
and he would have to buy Market
Share Quota and Federal Subsidy
Quota to cover them. These
quotaS are commonly- sold
together, and although there is
a wide range in price the average
last month was about one cent
per pound for total milk sold in
the year.
So the quota might come to
$3,600, or around $120 per cow.
-It's a big expense, but now with
better milk prices it can be
paid out of income. The milk
would sell in the Class 2 pool,
and with the subsidy added and
deductions off, the recent price
was $5.83 less trucking, This
price is reasonable, at least for
starting, and Jersey and
Guernsey owners have a little
edge with 7 1/2 cents extra for
point of butterfat above standard.
I'm not looking for big num-
bers, of new dairy farmers in
my county, York, but if the con -
ditIons are right to start a new
herd they are even 1 ,zer for ex-
panding one that is already going.
The plan for the Toronto•
centered -Region gives some as-
surance that we will be farming
in York for a long time vet,
so a well-set up dairy farm fits
right in.

Of 'the 386,128 Oailadian•farms
reporting, only 39 per cent indi-
cated the use of fertilizer in
1971. The proportion of farnis
with fertilizer applied was
generally larger in the regions
of more intensively farmed land.
Prince Edward Island had the
largest proportion of farms using
fertilizer (60 per cent), followed
by Ontario (51 per cent) and
Quebec (41 per cent)...
In all, some 17 million acres
were fertilized, representing 22
per cent of the total area, de-
voted to crops and improved
pasture. Alberta had the highest
fertilized acreage (5.6 million
acres), followed bySaskatchewan
(3.7 million), Ontario (3.1
million), Manitoba (2.9 million)
and Quebec (1.2 million).
Although Newfoundland had
the lowest fertilized acreage, it
was the highest (34 per cent)
.in terms of percentage of total
crop and pasture land under fer-
tilization.
The highest frequency of fer-
tilizer application in relation to
total acreage seeded (63 per
cent) went to tobacco cultivation,
followed by corn seeded for
grains (61 per cent), potatoes
(59 per cent) and vegetables (58
per cent). At the low end of
the scale were wheat (15 per
cent) and improved pasture ac-
reage (5 per cent).
