Dairmen in Muscatine County face a possible $3.08 to $3.12 base as in 1963 to boost profits by shifting calving to late summer and fall. Extension Director Eugene Mathern notes the Quad-City market uses base excess pricing, while ISU dairy expert A R Porter warns against overlong open periods for heifers. Maintaining regular calving, good feed, and harvest-time herd care are essential to protect year-round milk output.
