Winona Dairy Seminar Reviews BGH Impact and 1985 Farm Bill
Attendance fell for the second year at the Winona Area Dairy Seminar with weather ruled out as a factor. Speakers Dr. Donald Otterby, Dr. Bernard Conlin, and Dr. Robert Cropp discussed Bovine Growth Hormone, long term dairy profits, and Farm Bill dairy proposals. Otterby outlined BGH research and potential FDA approval by 1988, noting uncertain long term effects and modest milk yield gains in some studies. He highlighted feed additives, buffers, isoacids, and monensin as production aids, stressing cost and ROI. Conlin urged Midwest dairymen to cooperate on national price strategy and efficiency, while Cropp observed cheese giveaways boost consumption but not farmer income.
