Dairyman Roozeboom Looks To A Brighter Dairying Future
Dennis Roozeboom of Pella says the future for dairying looks good and steady income through milk checks. He plans to buy a 140 acre farm 12 miles southwest of Pella from his father-in-law John De Haan. Roozeboom outlines Dutch influence from their Netherlands relocation 22 years ago and construction of a new barn for 40 cows. He notes dairying isn’t hard work with the new facilities and a biweekly milk check.

Pork Producers Warn of Meat Shortage Under Price Ceiling
Iowa Pork Producers Assn President Paul Bernhard warned in a letter to President Nixon and Secretary Butz that a government meat price ceiling could trigger a serious shortage. He cited hog slaughter prices around 36.75 to 37.50 per hundredweight versus rising costs, with producers cutting back or quitting hog production as soybean meal and corn costs soar. He warned of empty meat cases and potential black markets if supply and demand laws are ignored.
