Dairyman Johnson urged that more southeastern Nebraska farmers start a Grade A milk production program. Why," he asked- "don't more farmers convert that old horse barn into a Grade A milk unit and have an asset instead of a liability?'' A profit in the dairy business Mr. Johnson said, is determined by the cost of production as well as the selling price. He outlined mans work out their own prob lems "with our help." Germany. Mr. Brokaw said, is in great need of more sanita tion and a greater supply of milk. The Germans always have concentrated on breeding cows for farm power instead of milk production. But, he said, the Swiss have proved that the same breed of cows can be de veloped toward greater power and milk production. A similar program is needed in Germany he said.
