LIFE ON A JAPANESE DAIRY FARM "How happy I am to be a part of this wonderful family and to share the joys of life with ; This statement was made in a recent letter to Alberta Agriculture from Pat Farris of Andrew Alberta who is spending a year on a Japanese dairy farm in Hokkaido province under the Alberta-Japanese Dairy Exchange Program. Initiated two years ago, this program provides for a two-way exchange between Alberta and Japan of 10 people with dairy farm experience. Participants live and work with the dairy farm family in the host country for from six to 12 months. At the present time there are eight Japanese dairymen working on Alberta dairy farms, and nine more are expected later this year. Miss Farris continues: "I get up at 5:00 each morning to milk the cows. At present we are milking 42 cows with an Alfa-Laval pipeline unit with four milking machines. Cows are calving every week - the bull calves are auctioned three times a month and the heifers are raised by ourselves. "I am very happy here with my work. I've been given the responsibility of mastitis treatment and any other treatment for scours or injury that may arise. After machine milking, I strip milk the cows and check once more that there is no sign of mastitis or ketosis. (continued) 12 RELEASED BY THE COMMUNICATIONS BRANCH ALBERTA DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE.
