DAIRY NEWS RELEASE
The 1978 Milk Marketing
program, to move Industrial
producers into the Fluid
pool, has just been complet-
ed. Known as the Graduated
Entry to the Group 1 market
program, it has been in
existence for eleven years.
This year's program rec-
eived probably the greatest
number of applicants since
the inception of the system.
In the Bruce -Grey County
area, one hundred and fifty

`,'A" rating.
Milk production across the
province is down significant-
ly from a year ago at this
time. Several factors can be
sighted as contributing to
this decline. The extreme
heat and drought conditions
are factors, but as well the
high beef prices have result-
ed in severe culling of dairy
herds, and the number of
cattle exported are up sharp-
ly. Dairy farmers as well are
controlling production more
closely than last year, to stay
within their'wn share of the
market.
At the same time plants
are, again running short of
volme as more and more of
the milk from the Bruce -Grey
area moves to the city
"Fluid" plants. ,
Cheddar cheese plants
especially feel that they
could increase their sales by
a significant margin, if more
milk was available to them.
Statistics across the province
show that sales of all dairy
products are strong, with
increased consumption of
specialty cheese and yogurt
continuing to lead the way.

SOIL TESTING
The ideal time for fertiliz-
ing hay and pasture is
August 20 to September 10.
Soil tests sent in immediately
could be back in time for this
year's application:
The test is free in Ontario
and the boxes are.' available
from our office. You can also
purchase a soil probe to
make the job easier.
WEED CONTROL
Now is the time to decide
on next year's weed control.
program. The weeds that are
on a field this year will likely
be there next year. Weeds
are much easier to identify
now than when they are
seedlings next spring when
you have to decide on what
chemicals to use. We can
assist in identifying weeds
either on the farm or you can
bring them to our office.
