New partnership for dairy advocacy

Minnesota Milk, Edge forge agreement

By Jan Lefebvre jan.l@star-pub.com

Minnesota Milk Producers Association announced Nov. 2 that it will be receiving administrative and program services from Edge Dairy Farmer Cooperative.

Minnesota Milk is stepping away from its partnership with Midwest Dairy as it looks to the future.

Lucas Sjostrom is executive director for Minnesota Milk. He released an email statement about the change.

“For our associate members, we expect you to see little difference except our ability to stretch your dollars and impact further in coming months,” Sjostrom said. “Midwest Dairy will still be a valuable resource and partner for both organizations and our members, especially as we make the transition of services.”

Edge Dairy Farmer Cooperative is based in Green Bay, Wisconsin. It is the third largest dairy cooperative in the country as far as milk volume. Farms in its membership are located in Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Nebraska, Ohio, South Dakota and Wisconsin. It was rst founded in 2010 as the Dairy Business Milk Marketing Cooperative.

Minnesota Milk explained the partnership on its Facebook page.

“Edge will provide our organization with ser-

vices currently provided to us by Midwest Dairy such as event planning, (human resources) and nancial services, communications and more. The transition began (Nov. 2) and will be completed by Dec. 31,” the statement read.

Edge also announced the change Nov. 2 on its website.

“The decision to switch providers followed a decision from Minnesota Milk’s board of directors to focus the organization’s efforts more on state policy,” the announcement said.

Brody Stapel is president of Edge Dairy Farmer Cooperative. He released comments on the company’s website.

“We are excited to connect with another grassroots dairy group driving positive change for farmers,” he said. “Minnesota Milk and Edge share many members. This agreement allows both groups to pool resources and amplify the voice of milk in Minnesota and across the Upper Midwest.”

Shelly DePestel, president of Minnesota Milk, also released a statement.

“We see many efciencies in working with a policy-focused dairy organization,” she said. “We appreciate being able to remain independent while still tapping into the efciencies of shared communications, human resources and accounting. We thank Midwest Dairy for its years of support and look forward to continued collaboration in the future.”

Alan Merrill, chairman for Midwest Dairy, responded to the change.

“Midwest Dairy respects this dairy farmer-led decision by the Minnesota Milk Board of Direc-

tors. We are proud to represent over 4,800 dairy farm families to 39 million consumers across our 10-state region and will continue to remain focused on dairy checkoff’s role of promotion and research,” he said.

In his email release, Sjostrom claried some position changes brought on by the agreement.

“My term as a Midwest Dairy employee (ended) effective Oct. 31, but I will continue to carry out the vision set forth by our Minnesota Milk farmer-led board on policy, policy-education and membership,” Sjostrom said. “Also with the transition, Jenna Davis and Shannon Watrin continue at Midwest Dairy but will be no longer on our Minnesota Milk team after we complete the transfer in future weeks.”

Looking forward, Sjostrom sees benets in the partnership.

“I am very excited to continue the work for Minnesota Milk, and I think the path the board chose is very logical,” he said. “I believe it will put Minnesota dairy farmers in a better position to use our limited assets in St. Paul but also partner with someone like Edge Dairy Farmer Cooperative, who can complement our membership in many ways.”

The change means that Sjostrom will no longer be directly working with some of his Midwest Dairy colleagues.

“I am going to miss many of the people – both staff and board members – that I worked with at Midwest Dairy,” he said. “But, the checkoff will continue to be a resource for farmers in promoting dairy.”

The movement to grass-based farming

Fall grazing conference offers plethora of ideas

By Abby Wiedmeyer abby.w@dairystar.com

OSSEO, Wis. – Many farmers who have been practicing grass-based farming for any amount of time agreed that while production may drop, protability blooms right along with the grass. The consensus was clear that what is better for the land is also better for the farmers at the fall grazing conference Oct. 26 in Osseo.

The event was hosted by River Country Resource Conservation and Development Council Inc. and featured speakers from beef and dairy backgrounds.

The farmer panel featured Don Boland, a dairy farmer from Mount Sterling; Rachel Bouressa, a direct-market beef farmer from New London; Amy Fenn, a southwest Wisconsin grazer of heifers, sheep and goats; Randy Jackson, professor of grassland ecology at the University of Wisconin-Madison; and Cheyenne Christianson, a Chetek dairy farmer.

The topics of discussion at the conference included best grazing practices and how to get more farmers on board with regenerative agriculture.

Boland’s dairy herd is exclusively grass fed, and in order to maintain this diet over a Wisconsin winter, Boland milks seasonally. Every fall, he sells and culls any animals that do not t into his calving window. While some creameries may not tolerate such practices, Boland said he has not had any problems so far.

“Our test goes really high,” Boland said. “If we’re dry for more than 60 days, we would have to get re-inspected, but we usually make it.”

Boland crossbreeds his herd three ways. After beginning with Holsteins, then breeding to Jersey, there is now a three-way cross with multiple breeds but mostly Normandy. The crossbred animals not only withstand pasture management well, but also sell as beef better than Holsteins, Boland said.

One management practice that has worked well for Christianson is mob grazing with youngstock. One summer, Christianson had 38 heifers in a group on pasture and took a whole month to get the group over 12 acres. After allowing the pasture to grow for a long time, the heif-

ers were given access to more of the area every day. Even with 7 inches of rain in three events, the ground did not become disturbed due to the heavy ground cover. Christianson said this allows all the water to soak in and create a healthy habitat for worms. It also knocks a lot of seed into the ground which only encourages regrowth.

“Earthworms are a big part of keeping the ground up,” Christianson said. “They are coming up and recycling all that organic matter. Anywhere you walk on our farm you can feel them underneath you, and that’s part of the reason we can soak in when we get a 4-inch downpour. Nothing leaves our farm; it all soaks in.” Jackson said the reason connement dairy farmers do not adopt grazing practices is it would signal an undermining of assets.

“My own take on this is that it’s more about the asset value of the land and what doing something different would do to that,” Jackson said. “If I have land that I’m growing corn and (soybeans) on, even if I’m losing money on a cash ow perspective, if I were to put it into pasture I would be signaling to the market that the value of the land is actually less than what it is.”

Kevin Mahalko, River Country grazing educator, said he has spoken to retired dairy farmers and grain farmers alike who farm the way they do simply because the government subsidies and crop insurance programs do not incentivize grass-based farming.

The group agreed that less intervention of the right kind would encourage more folks to adopt grazing practices. An attendee wondered what would happen if the Farm Service Agency required cover crops to be planted in order for farmers to participate in crop insurance programs. While Jackson did not think it was a bad idea, he did not think it would solve the carbon or water quality problems.

“Anything we can do to incentivize cover crops is a good thing,” Jackson said. “But it would just slow down the losses. We need transformative change on the landscape.”

The group agreed that putting animals on grass is not the most productive way to see a short-term return from the land, but because grazing is benecial to the long-term health of the soil, farmers need to consider the potential rewards of grazing.

Digging deep for clues to cow mortality

Garry encourages necropsies to determine cause

By Danielle Nauman danielle.n@dairystar.com

COLBY, Wis. – Livestock mortality is a fact of life on a dairy farm, but it is not something a dairy farmer should let go without questioning what happened to each individual cow.

“Some years ago, I recognized that some of the farms I was working with had quite high death rates,” Dr. Franklyn Garry said. “Having grown up on a dairy farm, I thought that wasn’t quite right. People don’t question why the cow died. They just deal with the death.”

Garry, a member of the Colorado State Extension College of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, spoke Oct. 19 at the Professional Dairy Producers Herdsperson Workshop Oct. 19 at Heeg Dairy in Colby.

Garry said farmers should take the time to perform necropsies to turn those deaths into a learning opportunity.

Garry said cow necropsies often times go undone on dairy farms for several reasons.

“If I talk to veterinarians, they’ll say the farmer doesn’t want me to necropsy,” Garry said. “If I talk to the producer, they’ll say the veterinarian is too busy to necropsy. You don’t actu-

ally need the veterinarian to open a cow up. I can show anyone how to do a necropsy. I’m not suggesting you take the place of your vet, but I am suggesting you start to look. And when you start to look, you’re going to start asking your vet a lot more questions, and you’ll start talking more and you will learn more. Then, you can start changing things.”

Garry encourages producers to start that dialogue with their veterinarian and learn the process for performing necropsies on their own.

Acknowledging the importance of cow mortality as it relates to productivity and protability allows producers to learn more about what is happening within their herds.

According to Garry, evaluating and monitoring why deaths occur is one way to decrease the occurrence.

“The good news is a necropsy is the only way to accurately assess the proximate cause of death and describe the disease process that might have occurred,” Garry said. “The bad news is that often times there are more details than can be managed, and it is sometimes difcult to categorize the ndings.”

According to Garry, the list of potential contributors to death in dairy cows can be categorized as one of the following: subclinical metabolic disorders such as issues like hypocalcemia or rumen acidosis; clinical disease such as a calving injury, ketosis or fatty liver, mastitis, milk fever or infectious disease; and injury or trauma.

DANIELLE NAUMAN/DAIRY STAR Dr. Franklyn Garry demonstrates how to perform a cow necropsy at a Professional Dairy Producers Herdsperson Workshop Oct. 19 in Colby, Wisconsin. Garry is a member of Colorado State Extension College of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences.

“I urge people to make a record of what is happening when the cow dies,” Garry said.

The rst step to keeping those accurate records, according to Garry, is to investigate and determine the progression of incidents that led to a cow’s death. Then, when a death is not easily explained from a situation such as injury, do the necropsy to nd the underlying factors.

“I’m not saying that every single cow that dies on the farm needs to be necropsied,” Garry said. “That isn’t practical. But if there is one that you just don’t know where things went wrong, it will pay in the long run to gure it out. You might be able to prevent another death in the future by simply changing something that might be easy to change.”

Garry said the most important tool during a necropsy is a camera.

“Take pictures of everything you see,” Garry said. “Then you can go back to your veterinarian and share those photos. It will help you learn what is normal and what is not normal.”

Garry said a necropsy should be done as soon as possible after the animal’s death, so that tissues are fresh for obtaining any samples to aid in diagnosis.

Garry said to begin with the cow

lying on her left side, to keep the rumen from obstructing access to other organs. Garry suggested working on a concrete surface, if possible, and to avoid an area where uids could contaminate the living area of other animals or feed storage.

The method of disposal of the animal can dictate how you handle the necropsy, Garry said.

“If you need to utilize a rendering company for disposal, you need to keep that in mind,” Garry said. “Try to keep the hide as intact as possible, since that had value to the rendering company. You will need to sew her back up so that she can be picked up by the rendering company.”

According to Garry, a shingle knife is a good tool for cutting through the hide, as the hook at the end limits the likelihood that internal organs might be punctured or damaged. Other useful tools include boning knives and large branch cutters to cut the ribs.

“Have your vet come and help you with the rst one,” Garry said. “It might seem like a daunting task, but if you take it step by step, it is not. And my guess is that you’ll become so interested in what you are nding, you will overcome your hesitancy pretty quickly.”

Questions for parents: Tell us your favorite experience of your employee helping with chores. Our favorite experience working with Ella is being able to spend extra time with her while we are working. We enjoy watching her grow into a young adult and seeing her passion for agriculture grow. When Ella was young, she loved playing with the baby kittens and calves, which she still loves. As she has grown, her passion for agriculture is growing as well. She helps with everything from milking, feeding, stacking bales, administering medication, tagging calves and even driving a tractor when needed. Ella is always asking questions and wants to know more about what we are doing and why we are doing it.

What qualities does your employee have that benet the farm? Ella is a very patient, compassionate person who loves animals and is able to remain calm under stressful situations. She is able to step in and help with any task that is asked of her.

Questions for Ella:

What are your responsibilities on the farm? My main responsibilities are milking and taking care of calves and

fresh cows.

When did you begin helping on the farm? I started helping with chores as soon as I could carry a calf pail of milk and got more involved once I could reach the pipeline hook up when I was about 9

years old. As a family farm, it is important for all of us to work together in order for chores to get done efciently.

How do you balance school, extracurricular activities and farm chores?

During the weekdays, I attend school. In the winter, after school, I attend wrestling practices where I manage the varsity team, and in the spring, I play softball.

After practices, I go to the barn and help with chores. After things are nished up, I have supper with my family and then focus on school work.

How has working on the farm shaped your character? Working on the farm has taught me responsibility, accountability and cooperation. These skills have provided me with leadership opportunities which I have used as a FFA and 4-H ofcer. My knowledge of the dairy industry has also provided me with the opportunity to advocate for dairy farmers around McLeod County and beyond through the McLeod County Dairy Royalty program.

What do you love most about farm life? The thing that I love most about farm life is getting to work with the animals that are feeding my community. It feels so rewarding knowing my family’s hard work and dedication to the industry is providing healthy foods for those around me.

What is one thing you have learned from working alongside your parents? Hard work is the most important thing I have learned working alongside my parents. They would always power through chores to make sure the work is done before they had to make it to our sporting or other important events. Their dedication to their family has shown me that hard work pays off and showing up matters.

What are your future plans? In fall 2023, I will attend South Dakota State University to study agricultural science. I am unsure where this degree will take me, but I know it will take me somewhere where I can share my passion for the agriculture industry.
