Your live work.
America has been mankind's months nearly perfect food
and its use by human beings dates back several thousand years before the birth of
Christ. In one way or another.
Millions of people depend upon the dairy industry partly
or entirely for their living there are over twenty six
million milk cows in the United States a great many of them are dairy farms located
near large cities where there is a ready sale for milk all of the dairy farmer is
a specialist in producing
and caring for accounts from which he gets his income his arms are diversified
farmer since he usually grows crops livestock he answer must spend a considerable
amount of his time
and mixing feed for cows must be fed scientifically to produce profitably the grain
raised on the farm is in many cases ground
and mixed with manufactured feeds which the farmer buys there are jobs selling
manufactured livestock feeds from which experience working on a farm is helpful as
it is for selling farm machinery and other equipment.
The modern dairy farm with its buildings
and equipment can be compared with the factory the heart of activity in this
milk factory is the dairy barn.
Sanitation and cleanliness of the rats words of the dairy industry
and to be successful
and dairy farmer must be careful about his personal cleanliness as well as
that of his barns and equipment.
The cows too must be clean before they're milked seven days a week.
The farmer has to get up early to do the morning milking
and then milk the cows again at night.
Usually after a long day spent doing other work.
And many farms the milking is done with the melting machine which is a pump
creating a long vacuum.
The vacuum grabs the milk carton to an airtight container with such equipment a
large number of cars can be milked in a short time.
After each car is milked the milk is removed it runs to the milk house
or a separate milk room.
It is trained carefully to further ensure its freedom from foreign material
and every step beyond canceling it must be protected for purity.
One of the important tasks of the dairy farmer is to clean
and sterilize thoroughly.
I am not going machine and the consequent this work is tedious and tiresome.
But it cannot be neglected.
Every so often trained inspectors from the government
and from the dairy company which buys the milk.
This is the dairy farm they closely inspect our equipment as well as the dairy barn
and of couse to make sure it meets high standards of sanitation
and then turn in a report to the dairy company
or government agency in
some localities a cow tester with special training visits different farms once a
month away and test the milk from each cow. If a cow or is not making a profit.
She then can be carried out of the herd
on large dairy farms.
Herdsman may be in direct charge of the herd
and responsible for increasing its production through scientific care
and feeding keeping records is a very important part of successful
dairy farming. This may be done by the owner
or be a part of the work of a hired superintendent
or a farm manager whose duty it is on the larger farms to improve the herd by
raising the best stock possible through scientific feeding and violin
and aiding the unprofitable Council. If you like animals.
There are jobs on dairy farms where you can run a business to advance to the job of
farm manager some training in agricultural college is necessary such training will
also be helpful if some day you can obtain the capital to go into dairy farming for
yourself some vocational high schools have courses in dairy farming
and the agricultural county agent in your community can give you information about
it.
From the farm Melkus transported either first to country receiving plants are
directly to the bottling plant swiftly by rail and truck.
The cars
and trucks are really large sanitary thermos bottles on wheels in the plant the
milk is pasteurized in special equipment which heats it to a certain temperature
for a definite period of time to destroy a render harmless all disease producing
organisms which may be present in the milk train the men check the control dials of
the past your eyes are carefully for exactness and time
and temperature is very important.
After pasteurization the milk is quickly cooled and then bottled
and capped although this is done on automatic machines the operation is carefully
checked by trained workers
and other skilled workman keep the equipment in good operating condition.
Other workers clean the equipment early every time after it's used for on a dairy
plant like on a dairy farm cleanliness and sanitation are important.
Before I feel the bottles are washed
and sterilized in scientifically designed bottle washes.
They then pass in front of sharp eyed inspectors before they go on to be filled
with milk.
As you can see for years now our modern dairy plant must have a great amount of
special equipment. Although many plants of course are not as large as this one.
There are jobs working for dairy equipment manufacturers designing producing
and selling this equipment
agro in the modern dairy plant creamery butter is turned into large mechanical
churns the broader maker must know how to turn out a product of good flavor
and high quality.
You may acquire this knowledge on the job from an experienced were.
Or in a regular college dairy chorus
or in one of the short courses in butter making
and plant operation which are given a number of the agricultural colleges
and universities in the same way she is making can be learned for
scientific methods have improved in standardize the making of cheese
and a knowledge of chemistry
and bacteriology is essential in this work both
in dairy plants and ice cream plants a great variety of types
and flavors of ice cream are manufactured here again a knowledge of scientific
principles is necessary.
The ice cream maker must supervise the preparation
and proportions of the ingredients in order to ensure the production of ice cream
good flavor creamy body
and small texture.
Many dairies imply laboratory workers trained in chemistry bacteriology
and other sciences who tends to milk
and other dairy products to ensure their purity flavor
and general high quality.
These are very desirable jobs
and require a considerable amount of college background because of the scientific
training that is necessary to my qualifications are necessary for state
and federal government positions which involve field work and research.
If you are interested in the dairy industry as your life's work will be well for
you to talk with the owner or manager of your local dairy company.
You will also get some helpful information at the local Dairy Council in your
community the dairy industry promises an opportunity for a steady employment to
kuala.
Workers people will always consumer products where they form the
basis of health or meals.
Nutritional experts tell us
that every adult needs to run our glasses of milk a day and some form
and children and young people need from three to four or more glasses a day.
No one ever outgrows the need for milk.
This is an indication that the dairy industry is extremely stable and
that it will be worth your while to consider it carefully for a job possibilities.
