report presented by Supr. Draxler on the current financial status of the county
farm. The study addressed the comparison between the average Wisconsin farm of
comparable size and production with the St. Croix County Farm in 1982. The analysis
used ARC records, as well as University Extension computations.
The total feed costs at the county farm are comparatively higher than an average
farm, somewhat due to raising bulls for sale, show cattle, etc. The farm labor
comparison in 1981 was 6.3, versus 3.1 for the average farm. This has been re-
duced in 1983 due to the help employed from the pre-release center. The plant
operation of an average farm is $29,600.00 (including taxes and interest), as com-
pared to $26,000.00 (without taxes and interest) on the county farm. The cattle
sales of the county farm is approximately double the averge farm.
The milk production is 17,500# per cow per year, as compared to 20,000# per cow
in past years. Milk production is lower on the County Farm than it should be, for
genetic ability of the herd and also past performance. The Farm Committee is meet-
ing with Chippewa County farm personnel to make comparison evaluations of budgets
and performance. Therapy for the patients will also be considered. Other consider-
ations will be taken into account by the Farm Committee in an attempt to correct
any problems that exist.
