8. Production Plans 



About 50 percent of the owners of 

 tanks had plans for herd size in- 

 creases in the future. The plans were 

 most frequent among the 20-49 cow 

 herd owners, but were present in 

 other groups also. 



In comparison with the can users 

 the planned herd increases were more 

 frequent among tank users for the 

 same herd size groups. (See Table 

 7.) The extent of the increases is 

 indicated by the number of cows that 

 were planned to be added in the near 

 future. 



In comparison with can users, 

 where the largest proportion planned

increases of up to 4 cows, the most 

 frequent increase planned by tank 

 users was 5 to 9 cows per herd. (See 

 Tables 6 and 20.)
