Agrici 15y Rod Stork, Assoc. Agricultural reuresentative DHIA Results Announced We have recently received the ý most up-to-date Dairy Herd Improvement test results for county herds on the DHIA Testing Program. Under this form of milk recording system, there are two sections. 1. The owner Sampler Pro gram whereby, the owner of t he herd does his own sampling and the weigh- ing of the milk to determne production levels. 2. Super- vised Program, Mr. Bob Sisson, wbo is the DHIA. Supervisor for the County comes to the herds within the Supervised program on a regular basis to do testing and weighing for production in- formation. In the Owner Sampler Program, the most recent results indicate a total of 687 cows on test with a B.C.A. for milk of 102 and fat of 102. Annual production from cows on the Owner Sampler Pro- gram comes to 9,899 ounds er year, with a fat levelof 372 bs. testing 3.75 per cept butterfat. The calving inter- vals for herds on the Owner Sampler Program in Durhamn is 14 months which is slightly above the provincial average. Overall, production levels in the Owner Sampler part of DHIA in the county have been goin up slightly over the past nuin er of years, however, there is still herds where production levels are not what they should be for the dairy industry of today. ultural, In the Supervised section of the DHIA Program in Durham County, a total of 1,134 cows were tested u to the reporting period. Bree Class average (BCA for milk was 117, while for fat it was 116). Annual production up to this report works out to 12,621 lbs. wit fat of 469 lbs. and a butterfat test of 3.71. The average calving interval for the herds on the Supervised Program is 13.3, which is right on the provin- cial average for 1975. Again, production levels in the Super- vised portion of the DHIA Program in the county have been going up and Durham County has one of the highest production averages of all provincial DHIA Supervised rograms. A total of 48 milk producers in the county are enrolled on the DHIA Program, and through effective use of this program, plus good feeding and breeding methods, mil production can stay at a high level within dairy herds.- Quaker Oats Requires Grains For Milling We have recently received word tliat the Quaker Oats Company of Canada is interested in contacting the- farmers to grow buckwheat and milling oats in 1976._ Apparently there is an in- creasing producer demand for food products manufactured from these two grains. In 1975, Quaker were looking for buckwheat especially, as well as oats, and it appears that this; trend is continuing into 1976. Contract price for buck- wheat will be~$3.50 a bushel MONEY ON QUALITY News with discounts taken off for buckwheat over 20 per cent moisture. Growers are urged to contract early and quaker will supply buckwheat seed. Contract price for milling oats would be $1.90 - $2.00 per bushel for 38 lb. bushel. Farmers interested in the possibility for contracting with Quaker Oats for these two crops shouJd get in touch with Mr. Stewart Lockington, Quaker Oats Company of Canada Limited, at Quaker Park, Peterborough, Ontario K9J 7B2; Telephone: 705 743-6330. Eastern Breeders Hold Annual County Meeting On Tuesday, February 17th, the Eastern Breeders Incorp- orated held their Annual Meeting for Durham Courty at the Agricultural Office in Bowmanville. Mr. JohnFerg- uson of Port Hope - director of Eastern Breeders for Durham County - was chairman for the meeting and in his rernarks outlined some of the work that bas been done at the Unit at Kemptville during the past year, including an addition to the existing barns to bring capacity up to 112 bulls. Carlos Tamblyn of Orono, the Holstein renresentative for Durham County outlined the bull buying and testing pro- gran or non-proven young sires in the Unit. It was pointed out that a number of young bulls were brought into the Unit during the year, and these will be going into a testing program shortly. It was also pointed out that a number o bulls were culled out during the year for a number of reasons, maintain- ing the high level of quality that exists at the Unit in Kemptville. Dr. Merlin Wilson, Assistant Manager of the Unit, briefly went over the report, indicat- ing that number of services during the year of 1975 dropped by 2,975. It was pointed out that dairy services were up but beef services were down, owing in large part to the depressed beef prices during t he past year and a half. By breed, Holsteins still rank as the largest number with a total of 102,598 services during 1975. This is an increase of 1,700 during the year. The biggest drop took place in the Hereford services with a drop of 2,300 during 1975. Dr. Bob Smiley, Manager of the Unit at Kemntville.
