Guideposts for the Dairy Industry¹

Department of Dairy Husbandry, Oregon State College

ABSTRACT

We dairymen are living in a new age. We have been in it longer than most of us realize because of the circumstances of its origin. These circumstances came upon us during a time when the industry was struggling to meet the problems of daily life complicated by those of a national emergency. When the emergency had passed, the first natural move was to think of rebuilding the industry on its old foundation. But the foundation was not there. So we find ourselves in this new era. It has taken time to realize this and to adjust our thinking to the changed conditions.

I have boiled down some of the most important essentials of future progress into 10 major points. They will need careful and deliberate study. No attempt is made to rate them according to their importance; it is not likely that they have the same importance in every agricultural area within the state. There are other factors that could be added — and to some they may appear more important than these that I have listed.
