Working on his family’s farm, Fahey is involved with all areas of management including milking, herd health, heat detection and eldwork. After he returns to the farm, he plans to be trained in A.I. Fahey enjoys making mating decisions and studying genetics. He said the Mr. Chassity Gold Chip daughters are his favorite cows in the herd.When Fahey joins his family on the farm, he and his parents plan to slowly work into a partnership. Fahey said he will eventually take over the farm.Fahey hopes to increase the herd by about a half dozen cows and purchase additional land to grow all of the feed needed for the herd. Currently, most of the corn in the ration is purchased.Faheycredits his dad as being his greatest mentor not only in the dairy industry but in life in general. “My dad has taught me the value of hard work,” he said. “He has taught me to be patient and not rush things, to take my time and do things right the rst time.” eld, used be.”

Fahey would advise younger students to take a more proactive approach to lling out the FFA prociency award. “I think if you started doing the paperwork and keeping track right away your freshman year, doing the prociency application would be easier each year as you are just adding to it and updating it,” Fahey said. “You can really see how your SAE has grown and developed when you sit down and complete the application.”Outside of school, Fahey has been a member of a local snowmobiling club for several years and is also a member of the Marathon County Holstein Breeders.

Midwest cheesemakers tell Dairy Market News sales have improved as market prices continue to uctuate, although the $2 plus may be a bit of a barrier for buyers. Spot milk remains available despite summer induced decreases. Plant downtime, both scheduled and due to unexpected line outages, have kept neighboring plants with more milk than expected at this point in the season. Milk is also available for western cheese makers though labor shortages and delayed deliveries of production supplies are regulating output. Export demand is steady to higher as prices are favorable to international buyers. Domestic cheese demand saw a small uptick this week though retail and food service demand is below previously forecasted levels. Higher prices are causing shoppers to reduce purchases while food service and restauranteurs continue to reduce hours and menu offerings due to labor shortages, higher input costs and reduced customer traf

The Global Dairy Trade auction racked up another decline in its weighted average Tuesday, fth session in a row, down 2.9%, following the 5% drop Aug. 2. Declines were led by anhydrous milkfat, down 9.8%, after falling 1.4% Aug. 2. Butter inched up 0.2%, after a 6.1% plunge, and whole milk powder was down 3.5%, following a 6.1% drop. Skim milk powder inched up 0.1%, after falling 5.3% last time, and GDT Cheddar was up 4.2%, following a 0.7% slip Aug.StoneX2. Dairy Group says the GDT 80% butterfat butter price equates to $2.3027 per pound U.S., up fractionally after losing 14.8 cents in the last event, and compares to CME butter which closed Friday at a pricy $2.94. GDT Cheddar, at $2.2703, was up 9.4 cents, and compares to CME block Cheddar at a bargain $1.82. GDT skim milk powder averaged $1.5984 per pound, virtually unchanged, and whole milk powder averaged $1.55 per pound, down 5.8 cents. CME Grade A nonfat dry milk closed Friday at $1.52 per pound.North Asian market share, which includes China, picked up from the last event slightly, according to StoneX, but continued below year-ago levels and has been below a year ago since July 2021. Southeast Asia, Middle East and Europe picked up purchases, bringing their share higher than a year ago and the last event. Meanwhile, exports are moving out of Ukraine in a brokered deal with Russia, Turkey and the United Nations. But, Foodmarket News reports that Ukraine’s grain exports are down 46% year on the year, at 2.65 million tons so far. The USDA’s World Markets and Trade report stated since the end of 2021, global milk supplies have tightened, propelling prices for manufactured dairy commodities higher. Among the major dairy exporters through May, only Argentina saw milk output grow year-over-year, up 1%, while Australia was down 6%, European Union down 1%, New Zealand down 6% and U.S. down 1%. Global supplies will likely remain tight as hot, dry conditions in the EU increase cow discomfort and weigh on output per cow, according to the report. Diminishing producer protability in Argentina will likely cause production growth to moderate. Tightening supplies in the EU and Argentina are expected to more than offset improving production in New Zealand, where pasture conditions have improved considerably since the start of 2022 and the short-term outlook is positive, according to the USDA. Favorable conditions in Australia and strong prices are expected to improve production from the current year-to-date; however, producer caution is expected to keep expansion at a minimum short term and keep annual output below 2021. Back home, the report said relatively stable cow inventories and slowly recovering milk per cow are expected to cause U.S. milk output to turn positive in the second half of the year. The 2022 and 2023 milk production forecasts were raised in the latest World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates.

The 2022 cheese price average was lowered to $2.0750 per pound, down 11 cents from the July estimate, and compares to $1.6755 in 2021. The 2023 average is estimated at $1.9750, down 9.50 cents from last month’s projection. Butter is expected to average $2.7850 in 2022, up a half-cent from last month’s estimate, and compares to $1.7325 in 2021. The 2023 average was projected at $2.3750, down 6.50 cents from a month ago. Nonfat dry milk will average $1.6650, according to the WASDE, down 9 cents from a month ago, and compares to $1.2693 in 2021. The 2023 average was projected at $1.45 per pound, 19.50 cents lower than projected last month.
The season-average soybean price was forecast at $14.35 per bushel, down 5 cents from last month. Soybean meal and oil price forecasts were unchanged at $390 per short ton and 69 cents per pound, respectively.Meanwhile, the latest Crop Progress report shows corn silking at 94%, as of the week ending Aug. 14, 4% behind a year ago and 3% behind the ve-year average. 62% was at the dough stage, 9% behind a year ago and 3% behind the ve-year average. 57% was rated good to excellent, 5% behind a year ago. Soybean blooming was at 93%, 1% behind a year ago and dead even with the ve-year average. 74% are setting pods, up 13% from the previous week, 6% behind a year ago and 3% behind the ve-year average. 58% of the crop was rated good to excellent, 1% ahead of a year Mid-Augustago.
Beginning soybean stocks, production, exports and ending stocks were higher. Production was forecast at a record 4.53 billion bushels, up 26 million, or 2%, from a year ago, with higher yields more than offsetting lower harvested area, now forecast at 87.2 million acres, down 300 million from July but 1% more than a year ago. The soybean yield forecast was a record 51.9 bushels per acre, up 0.4 bushels from last month. Soybean supplies were projected at 4.8 billion bushels, up 36 million from last month. Exports were raised 20 million bushels to 2.16 billion. Ending stocks were forecast at 245 million bushels, up 15 million.

Dry whey is expected to average 61 cents per pound in 2022, down 3 cents from a month ago, and compares to 57.44 cents in 2021. The 2023 average is expected to slip to 48.50 cents per pound, 3 cents lower than a month ago. The Aug. 18 Livestock, Dairy and Poultry Outlook mirrored milk price and production projections in the Aug. 12 WASDE. The Outlook also stated lower expected prices for dairy products should boost their demand; thus, domestic use for dairy products was adjusted higher for 2022 and 2023. The Outlook added that there were fewer milk replacement heifers as of July 1 compared to July 1, 2021. The NASS Cattle report says replacement heifers numbered 3.75 million July 1, 50,000 head lower than July 1, Checking2021.feed, the WASDE reported that the U.S. corn outlook is for lower supplies, reduced feed and residual use; slightly higher food, seed and industrial use; smaller exports; and lower ending stocks. Projected beginning stocks were 20 million bushels higher, based on a lower use forecast, where a reduction in corn used for ethanol is partially offset by greater use for glucose and dextrose. Corn production for 2022-23 was forecast at 14.4 billion bushels, down 146 million from the July projection, and 5% below 2021. The season’s rst surveybased corn yield forecast, at 175.4 bushels per acre, is 1.6 bushels below last month’s projection and a year ago. Area harvested was forecast at 81.8 million acres, down less than 1% from the June forecast, and down 4% from a year ago. Total corn use was reduced 45 million bushels to 14.5 billion. Feed and residual use was lowered 25 million based on a smaller crop. Corn exports were cut 25 million bushels to 2.4 billion. Ending stocks were lowered 82 million bushels to 1.4 billion. The seasonaverage corn price was unchanged at $6.65 per bushel.
CME dairy prices were mixed as traders anticipated the July Milk Production and Cold Storage reports Aug. 22. The Cheddar blocks climbed to $1.89 per pound Monday, highest since July 27, but closed Friday at $1.82, 2.50 cents lower on the week but 12.75 cents above a year ago. The barrels jumped 6 cents Monday, hitting $1.9475, also the highest since July 27, but nished at $1.8950, up 0.75 cents, 41.75 cents above a year ago and 7.50 cents above the blocks. Sales totaled three cars of block and eight of barrel.

Skim milk sales, at 177 million pounds, were down 9.5% from 2021 and down 7.7% YTD.
The Aug. 15 Daily Dairy Report points out that in just six months, CME spot dry whey prices tumbled from an all-time high of 84.25 cents per pound to a nearly two-year low, warning that every penny drop in the whey price shaves 6 cents off Class III values. Based on today’s spot market whey price of 44.50 cents, Class III milk is worth roughly $2.50 per cwt less than it would have been had whey prices held their February peak. A big part of the reason for the lower prices is China. The DDR says hog growers operated in the red for most of the rst half of 2022 and cut back on expensive feeds including whey. That and a major infant formula maker in the U.S. curtailed orders for dairy ingredients, including whey powder, after one of its ve plants was shut down from February to early June, according to the DDR. The September Federal Order Class I base milk price was announced at $23.62 cwt, down $1.51 from August but $7.03 above September 2021. It’s the lowest Class I since March and equates to $2.03 per gallon, down from $2.16 in August and compares to $1.43 a year ago. The nine-month Class I average stands at $23.84, up from $16.41 a year ago, $16.65 in 2020 and $16.51 in 2019. Farm nances are getting tough, especially in the West, according to the Aug. 12 Dairy and Food Market Analyst. The Analyst estimates current break-evens in California are just shy of $23.50 cwt and $22.50 in Idaho. Nearby Class III futures are several dollars below those levels, the Analyst warned. Dairy margins strengthened the rst half of August as increasing milk prices more than offset a similar rise in projected feed costs, according to the latest Margin Watch from Chicago-based Commodity and Ingredient Hedging LLC.
Total packaged uid sales for the rst half of 2022 amounted to 21.6 billion pounds, down 2.3% from 2021. Conventional product sales totaled 20.2 billion pounds, down 2.3%. Organic products, at 1.4 billion, were down 2.3%, and represented 6.7% of total milk sales for the period.
Demand for cream is strong in the West, and cream availability continues to tighten as high seasonal temperatures take a toll on milk output. Ice cream makers continue to purchase cream, though some of this demand is expected to melt away in the coming weeks. Butter makers are running busy schedules though some plants were having difculty nding available tankers, thus delaying loads of cream and contributing to unplanned down time. Labor Day and back to school sales are contributing to a small uptick in retail and food service sales. Concern about availability in coming months are helping maintain butter prices.
Cooperatives Working Together members accepted four offers of export assistance this week to capture sales of 1.6 million pounds of American-type cheese and 37,000 pounds of cream cheese. The product is going to customers in Asia, Middle East-North Africa and Oceania, and delivered through February.

June U.S. dairy exports set records for both volume and value, with $886 million shipped out, besting the previous record in May after adjusting for the shorter month. While milk powder exports declined, cheese, butter and whey all topped year-ago levels by sizeable margins with cheese exports setting a record high and whey exports posting the second highest level ever, according to the MW. Not helping matters, uid milk sales continue to falter. The USDA’s latest data shows sales of U.S. packaged uid products totaled 3.3 billion pounds in June, down 1.7% from June 2021. Conventional product sales totaled 3.1 billion pounds, down 1.8% from a year ago. Organic products, at 234 million pounds, were off 0.5% and represented 7% of total sales for the month.Whole milk sales totaled 1.2 billion pounds, up 2.3% from a year ago, up 1.2% year to date and represented 33.8% of total sales in the six months.
Butter made it to $2.99 per pound Wednesday but closed the week at $2.94, a half-cent higher and $1.2775 above a year ago, with 48 loads exchanging hands.Butter plants have increased micro-xing as cream supplies have tightened. Spot cream has moved out of the range for protable returns, says DMN, as butter hovers around $3 per pound. Some suggest spot cream availability may not improve until Labor Day, if then.
In the week ending Aug. 6, 57,400 dairy cows were sent to slaughter, up 1,400 head from the previous week but 2,200 head, or 3.7%, below a year ago.

Strong domestic and export demand continues to support cheese production at the expense of churning and drying milk for butter and powder, the MW stated.
Grade A nonfat dry milk climbed to $1.5350 Wednesday, highest since Aug. 4, but closed Friday at $1.52 per pound, up a quarter cent on the week and 27 cents above a year ago, buoyed by stronger than expected GDT prices. There were 13 sales were reported for theDryweek.whey saw its Friday nish at 45 cents per pound, up a half-cent on the week but 8 cents below a year ago, with two sales for the week at the CME.

Like most brokers I highlighted the fundamentals of the various markets and ended the presentation with discussion on excessive liquidity in markets and risks associated with Central Banks raising interestSincerates.early 2020, the M2 money supply has increased by 40%. That is what is causing today’s inflation. There is 40% more money chasing the same amount of goods being produced. If this was the 1980’s, interest rates would be running 10% or higher. As the dollar index moves back over 108, and interest rates nowhere close to what is needed to slow down inflation, one has to wonder how this ride will end. A slow or no response from the Fed destroys us with inflation. Raising rates will strengthen the dollar and destroy exports and this commodity price party. Personally, I believe we just need a less political Central Bank with the courage to do what is needed. Class III futures in many of the forward looking months made a 50% retracement of the price decline from the contract highs. This has Class III futures trading in the upper $19’s to low 20 for much of 2023. The front end of the market continues to be annihilated by a weaker cash cheese spot market. Spot block and barrel cheese has been grinding away in the $1.80’s. With current whey values this projects a Class III settlement price near $19/ cwt.This past week NZ and EU cheddar prices firmed. This provided some support to U.S. futures which led the rally higher. Class III futures will likely hold a premium to cash as long as EU and NZ cheese prices remain above U.S. values. Most categories of U.S. dairy product inventories remain tight with the exception of cheese. This will require U.S. cheese to remain discounted to international values to keep product export competitive. Our local grocery store is selling one pound sticks of butter for $9.00. Even with CME spot butter trading near $3.00 that is a crazy profit margin for someone. Shopping with my wife Carla at Walmart this week we walked by empty milk coolers. All that was on display was a few quart jugs. Hard to sell milk with no milk on the shelf.

AUGUSTA, Minn. –Dan, Tom and Tyler Janski are the fourth generation to farm the diverse landscape of their family’s dairy. Yet, without their curious probe into the use of cover crops on the land, they could have been the last generation to farm. “We were at the end of a pitiful rope with some of our soils. Some weren’t performBy Jennifer Coyne jenn@dairystar.com Turn to JANSKI | Page 13 Janskis transform land with cover crops Regenerative agriculture practices support fourth-generation farm ing as we would have liked and looked for change,” Dan said. “So, we tried cover crops on a small scale and saw the benets. It revitalized how we farm.”Dan and his family – parents Rich and Marlys, and brother Tom – milk 200 cows with four robots on their dairy in Stearns County near St. Augusta. In addition to dairy farming, they grow seven crops: corn, soybean, alfalfa, cereal rye, oat, hemp and canning peas. In 2016, the Janskis planted a small acreage of cover crops to experiment with a management style that promoted improved soil health and higher quality feeds. Today, the Janskis strictly no till and use cover crops on all of their land, with the exception of the peas which requires some vertical tillage.“Honestly, at rst we were very skeptical with no-till cover crops,” Dan said. “That rst year, we took one eld that averaged 50 bushels an acre and knifed corn into alfalfa. We got 150-bushel corn that fall.”
The family has also experimented with interseeding a mix of cover crops into both 30-inch and 60-inch corn rows. The forage mix included varieties of clover, vetch, ryegrass and Thecollard.30-inch rows yielded 276 bushels of corn per acre while the 60-inch rows yielded 208 bushels and more soil biomass for a viable option for grazing or added benets to the corn silage crop. Dan credited the difference in yields to nutrient distribution in the elds. “Both the 30-inch and 60-inch rows had outstanding forage quality in between the rows, but it was the corn yield that made the difference,” Dan said. “Considering the drought

This reduces tillage and builds organic matter into the soil with a crop that has not yet been incorporated into the Whileland.the yields are an obvious benet to using cover crops, it has been the improved soil makeup that has surprised Dan. The farm is comprised of gravel, sand and clay soils.

JENNIFER COYNE /DAIRY STAR
Tom Janski speaks with eld day a endees about the dry cow ra on Aug. 16 at his farm near St. Augusta, Minnesota. Janski farms in partnership with his brother, Dan, and parents, Rich and Marlys.
The cover crops are used as an additional feed source for the Janskis’ livestock. This year, a 10-acre eld of chickpeas and barley is being grown as a ground protein source. Their cereal rye crop will be harvested in the fall and cleaned for cover crop seed next season. Other cover crops, if not terminated, are grazed by a small herd of beef or ock of laying hens. “It’s nice that we can get two crops off a eld in a year,” Dan said.
JENNIFER COYNE /DAIRY STAR Heifers are fed a ra on of mostly lacta ng and dry cow ra on refusals Aug. 16 near St. Augusta, Minnesota. The Janski family milks 200 cows.
When a strong rainstorm dropped 6 inches of rain on the farm this spring, there was only one small eld that washed“Asideout. from a little water that pooled, the ground got every inch of it,” Dan said. “It’s all in the soil.” However, practicing regenerative agriculture has not come without challenges.“Ilike to test and try things. It can be exciting to see the level at which we can do some things,” Dan said. “But, there’s been some successes, and there’s been some struggles.” This spring, the family planted soybean on a former corn eld that was covered with cereal rye over the winter. Unfortunately, about 70% of the eld has been damaged by black cutworm. “I’m not an entomologist,” Dan said. “I’m still learning.”
The haylage – a low lignin alfalfa – is harvested with a relative feed value over 200. It is then stored in a bunker and preserved with an inoculant. Baleage is harvested at 175 RFV, baled and wrapped, and preserved with a hay acid. The corn silage is chopped at 60%-65% moisture and stored in a bunker with an inoculant.Brown midrib corn is not grown so that if the Janskis meet their forage requirements, they can combine the remaining acres for ground corn. “We try to feed more forages to the cows, and they really do great,” Rolf said.On a dry matter basis, the lactating ration consists of 35-40 pounds of corn silage, 30-33 pounds of haylage, 8-9 pounds of baleage, 2-3 pounds of dry hay and about 5 pounds of protein concentrates.“Wetest our feed every week and adjust as we need to,” Tom said. During the summer months, the herd is also given an energy booster to maintain milk production through the summer heat. Dry cows receive a ration of corn silage, grass hay and protein. The heifers are mostly fed refusals from the lactating and dry cow herds with corn silage, grass hay, haylage and a mineral added.“Our goal is to feed out everything,” Thomas said. By incorporating the use of no till and cover crops, the Janskis have optimized their land base for growing high-quality feed, and secured another generation’s ability to farm. “I’m condent in saying that we’re not able to do what we’re doing here without no-till management,” Dan said. “Cover crops have added diversity to the soil and recycle nutrients into the ground, and we’ve seen great results.”
Con nued from JANSKI | Page 12
The Janskis work closely with their nutritionist to develop rations for their dairy herd given the crops they produce. In a growing season, the Janskis produce three main forages – haylage, baleage and corn silage. “This family is on the forefront of technologies and forage quality,” said Dan Rolf of Form-A-Feed. “They grow a lot of feed, and they do a great job.” Rolf is the Janskis’ nutritionist.

A day in the life on Maassen DairyA day in the life on Maassen Dairy By Jerry Nelson jerry.n@dairystar.com Concrete repair, cover crop plans among to-do list Aug.16 Turn to MAASSEN DAIRY | Page 16 MAURICE, Iowa – There is hardly ever an average day on a dairy farm. Aug. 16 at Maassen Dairy illustrates this Maassenpoint. Dairy is owned by Lee Maassen and his sons, Aaron, Adam and Stefan. The Maassens milk about 1,700 head, crop about 1,000 acres and raise 200 acres of alfalfa. Each family member has his area of specialty. Aaron oversees the dairy’s employees and is in charge of agronomy. Adam manages their post-weaned animals, all of their non-dairy livestock and the farm’s feed center. Stefan is the farm’s chief mechanic and manages their wet calves. Lee lls in wherever he is needed but has increasingly moved into the role of ofce manager. All of the Maassen family members help with major eld operations. After a morning lled with chores and feeding, members of the Maassen family set to work on diverse projects around the farm. They received seventenths of an inch of rain the day before, so the ground was too wet for eldwork. Adam inspected progress on their new 300- by 60-foot grower barn that was under construction. He consulted with their contractor about door height, concerned that it could be a tight t for their pay “Thisloader.newbarn will house animals that are 500 to 700 pounds,” Adam said. “We breed the top 25% of our milk herd and all of our heifers to sexed semen. The rest of our animals are serviced with beef sires. All of the cattle that are born on our farm remain here until they either join the dairy herd or are sold for beef.”Meanwhile, Stefan nished changing oil on the Farmall H tractor that his family has owned for many years. Stefan hitched the tractor to a cart that carries a portable welder, drove the rig over to the new grower barn and resumed welding the pipes that are the barn’s fences.

The barn will have space for 400 cows, giving the Maassens more room for their dry cows and enable them to expand their milking herd.

Grassland 2.0 is a group of people from various backgrounds who collaborate to develop ways for producers to increase protability, production stability, and nutrient and water efciency. This is achieved through learning hubs and summits. Jackson said one crisis that hinders the growth of grass-based farming is resource deprivation which is evident through ooding. “Flooding that’s been exacerbated by the way we farm has caused entire communities to move their communities up slope rather than addressing the systemic problems that are happening in the soil,” JackTurn to GRASSLAND 2.0 | Page 21 NEXT DAIRY SALE Pipestone Livestock Auction Market, Inc.

Kaedy and Becker are graduate students at UW-Madison and discussed the importance of carbon to soil health. son said. “We’ve got this resource deprivation issue that’s confronting us every day. It’s real; it’s here.”
Addressing the soil issues at the summit were Ashley Becker and Mia Keady, graduate students at UW-Madison. Both women have spent time studying soil health and why soil carbon is important. When conducting soil tests, Becker said the percentage of organic matter is an indicator of how much decomposing plant, animal tissues and microbes are in the soil. That number divided in half indicates a rough calculation of carbon in the soil. Becker found that building up soil carbon has benets both to the farmer and the general public.
“Farmers get better ability to adapt to oods and droughts with more soil carbon because water inltrates more easily and you can hold on to more water and improve the productivity of your elds,” Becker said. “For the public, you get improved water quality and improved food production.”
Further research has revealed that pasture sites held on average 5.5 tons more carbon per acre on the top 6 inches of soil compared to row cropping sites.
A portion of time at the summit was spent in an activity that aimed to highlight others’ social positions and how people use that to make sense of biophysical landscapes.Thiswas achieved by walking to the top of a hill with John Strauser of Grassland 2.0 whose aim was to
The Grassland 2.0 team plans to spend the next few years hosting listening sessions, conducting surveys and local conversations to learn from communities across the state and beyond to develop more ways to move toward grassland-based agricultural systems.
Hannah Kass led the nal breakout session in zine making. Zines are selfpublished magazines which are usually made by people involved in grassroots or social movements. Zines became popular during the feminist movement and in underground subcultures. Participants used existing magazines, glue, scissors and paper to construct their visions for grasslands on whatever scale was most relevant to them whether it was on their farm, back yard or community.

At the top of the hill, participants could see a corn eld, alfalfa elds and the venue which served as host of the summit. Participants were instructed to observe the different landscapes and take note of what they saw. Results had a wide variety of observations. Some people associated the corn with production, while others identied erosion among the crop. One participant, who happened to be a farmer, saw bare spots in the corn and associated it with decreased prot. Strauser leads learning hubs with Grassland 2.0 and said these observations are what inuence land use decisions people nd to be socially acceptable. Different opinions on land lead to different uses of resources. Con nued from GRASSLAND 2.0 | Page 22 “These … can largely inuence what people do on their landscapes and the way people manage their herd,” Strauser said. The third part of the summit included a cooking demonstration with chef Jack Kaestner, instructor at Madison Area Technical College. Kaestner specializes in sustainability and local food. He said grazed animals provide a more sustainable meat source. “I always encourage people to go with grazed rst,” Kaestner said. “It’s cheaper, and it is a more forgiving way to cook and use the whole animal.” Kaestner said a lot of chefs only use tenderloin, ribeye or strip steak because they are known for their quality and tenderness. Kaestner likes to use shank because when cooked on a lower temperature for a longer period of time, it provides a better avor and consistency for broth.Kaestner said the key to cooking grass-fed meat is to back off on the seasonings, cook things slower and buy a good thermometer to aid in accuracy.
“Zines are a great way for social movements to communicate their beliefs,” Kass said. “It’s been a huge way for social movements to connect with each other and grow and expand.”

Golombiecki, a Stevens County ADA board member and dairy farmer; Vicki Dosdall, the 4-H Food Stand man- Turn to ADA, 4-H | Page 23 Dairy ows in Stevens County ADA, 4-H provided endless milk at the fair ager; and Savannah Aanerud, the Stevens County 4-H coordinator were instrumental in getting the project going in time for this year’s fair. “Milk has always been an option in the food stand,” Dosdall said. “I think having an option other than soda and lemonade is the reason many parents enjoy bringing kids to the food stand.”
Due to the small number of dairy farmers in Stevens County, stafng the stand was an obstacle. After a meeting with Midwest Dairy, Golombiecki was introduced to a farmer from Pipestone County who helped implement a milk stand.The next step was to discuss the idea with 4-H coordinators. “I barely had to explain what I wanted to do, and they were all for it,” Golombiecki said.
The milk stand was well received from the 4-H program and the community, Dosdall said. Dosdall ordered the milk from a lo-
Ty (from le�), Tayton and Jaelyn Flower show off their all you can drink milk wristbands Aug. 11 at the Stevens County Fair. All 4-H members in Stevens County received the wristbands for free, while fair goers could purchase them for $5. Grace Jeurissen

GRACE JEURISSEN/DAIRY STAR
The wristbands were sold for $5 each and were given to the 4-H members for free. When all was said and done, 600 cartons of white milk sold, and the food stand sold out of chocolate milk. More than 1,600 servings of milk were sold, and the leftovers went to the Stevens County Food Shelf. “A goal for this year was to sell out of our milk,” Golombiecki said. “Considering how much we went through, I am happy with the result. Eventually, I would like to see us using a bulk milk dispenser; it would add to theCurrently,nostalgia.”the cost of each serving of milk they served for the stand was 50 cents. Golombiecki said implementing a bulk dispenser would almost cut the price in half, making it an even more protable fundraiser for the 4-H program. There were some challenges in the planning process while deciding how to best serve the milk. Many ADA board members wanted to shy away from cartons due to the taste. “We didn’t want to have people turn away from the milk,” Golombiecki said. While this year was a great way to test out what the power of milk can provide for the 4-H program, next year is expected to go over even better. “It is just catching wind,” Golombiecki said. “I have seen a lot of buzz online from families in the area excited about the wristbands.” Youth in Stevens County 4-H were equally as excited about the milk stand. Kids helped with promotion by creating boards and posting advertisement around the fair.Despite the few dairy farms in Stevens County, the 4-H program has seen an increase in representation for the dairy project in recent years due to the lease program, Golombiecki said. “We have an almost new dairy barn with so many cool features that even if there weren’t kids showing in 4-H we would have cows here to give that experience to fair goers,” Golombiecki said. “I am proud of the efforts put on by everyone involved in our ADA and 4-H program to help orchestrate such a good thing.”

Dosdall also feels strongly about the promotion of dairy within the 4-H Food Stand. “Dairy is a part of the 4-H program, and any time we can get a chance to promote youth involvement in it or the consumption of it is important,” Dosdall said. Organization within the 4-H Food Stand is simple; clubs gather up crews of parents and four kids to work their shifts, and each person has a job to cover.

It has helped keep the crops looking really good. Our pastures are performing well. The tonnage in our third crop of hay was good; we finished that a week ago. We left some of third crop down to make small squares out of, but with the dewy mornings it’s proving to be a difficult task. I’m guessing our corn silage will still be a few weeks out especially with the late start to the spring this year. The ears on our corn have filled really well. Some of the neighbors are getting water hemp in their beans. Mornings are usually sweatshirt weather but by the time milking is over you need a short sleeve T-shirt.
TRAVIS BLY 300 cows, 430 acres We did a little third crop hay a week ago and the field was really good. We cut some more yesterday (Aug. 23) and should finish third crop this week. We have about 120 acres and we wet bale it all and wrap it. I opened a cob of corn a week ago and it has a ways to go. They are just starting to direct combine wheat up here. The fields look good. We are starting to work on corn silage equipment. We have some second crop sudan grass that’s a week away from being cut.

We are hoping to cut fourth crop hay Monday (Aug. 29); it’s half a crop. South and west of here they have started to chop corn. There will be a burn down day in Chandler Aug. 30. The corn is burning up on the high ground. The planes are spraying for aphids. The soybean is podding pretty well. Since we got the near half inch Aug. 18-19, the pasture started greening up and we put heifers out there today (Aug. 23).

BRENT ZIEGLER 300 cows, 650 acres The crops are looking good. We’ve been hauling manure on the wheat field we harvested and today, I’m seeding alfalfa in 42 acres. The corn silage is roughly two weeks away. We are scheduled to do fourth crop hay the first week of September. Because we got some rain it looks better than the last two cuttings. I spoke to an agronomist after he looked at the fields and he said the yields should be really strong. We’re getting everything ready for hay and corn silage.

DAVE THEILER 40 cows, 340 acres I would guess the corn silage is three weeks away yet. I opened up a cob and it was yellow and a ways off. We have been doing a bunch of baling of straw and third crop hay for people. The third crop around here was almost as good as second crop. We big square baled and wrapped a lot of it. The crops look good to excellent. Even the sand ground looks really nice. The soybean fields are close to waist high. We have to do some meadow hay next. MN (Stearns County)
ZACH WENGER 400 cows, 1,675 acres We still had not combined our oats as of Aug. 23 because they’re staying kind of wet. We were waiting for them to get ideal, but we’re getting to the point we’re just going to have to grind them out. We started mowing fourth crop hay Aug. 22 and started chopping the following day. It looks like a real nice crop. Corn silage looks like it’s a couple weeks out yet, depending on the weather.

You don’t need to drive very far to see crops that have suffered greatly due to a lack of moisture. There hasn’t been much pest pressure this summer although we did decide to spray our corn with a fungicide. It looks like we are about a month away from corn chopping. I am very optimistic overall. haven’t is Sudden Death Syndrome
HENRY BAUER 240 Cows, 750 acres We have had 2.5 inches of rain and we needed every drop of it. I am hoping we will get some more this afternoon (Aug. 24). I didn’t think we would get a fourth crop; everything really took off and grew with the rain and some of it is knee-high. We’ll plan to make that sometime next week. We have been lucky to have good feed supplies from last year and we will just have started feeding this year’s hay crop this next week. The corn is all over the board in every different stage, some is almost sweet corn quality with some that is just starting to set on kernels. It will be at least the end of September before we are ready to start doing corn silage.

I think it’s going to be better than third crop because it received more timely rain. We finished wheat Aug. 10. Crops are looking good, and it’s nice to have green lawns finally.

“The most recent DGA report is clear: children are not receiving enough essential nutrients for growth, development, healthy immune function, and overall wellness,” said Michael Dykes, D.V.M., president and CEO of IDFA. “School meals offer the most important opportunity of the day for children to get the essential nutrients they need in an 8-ounce serving of milk. Now is the time of year when our parents, educators, school meals professionals, and policymakers need to work together to encourage school meal participation and nutritious milk consumption each day. Survey data shows the best way to do that is by offering many varieties of milk, including different fat varieties, avors, and lactose-free options. There is nothing more important than the health of our children.”
“Research shows children eat their healthiest meals at schools, which provide balanced nutrition including milk, whole grains and a variety of fruits, vegetables and lean protein. School nutrition professionals are committed to ensuring access to and promoting consumption of healthy school meals to support student success,” said SNA President Lori Adkins, MS, SNS, CHE. An overall decline in school milk consumption has been identied in recent years, particularly after whole milk and low-fat avored milk options were removed from school meals more than a decade ago. The fact sheet released by the group today underscores how all milk is a source for 13 essential nutrients, including calcium, vitamin D and potassium—nutrients of public health concern for children. In addition to being nutritious offerings for children, avored milk has been shown to decrease food waste from school meals and increase overall meal participation.
Milk and Dairy Are Critical to Child Nutrition as ReturnChildrentoSchool
ARLINGTON, VA – As nearly 50 million children return to public school, a group of dairy and nutrition advocates is encouraging parents and policymakers to prioritize the health of students by making milk and dairy options more accessible in the coming school year. A fact sheet released today by the group highlights that milk is the top source of calcium, potassium, phosphorus, and vitamin D in kids ages 2-18. However, according to the U.S. Departments of Agriculture and Health and Human Services, American children over four years old and adolescents are not consuming enough dairy to meet the recommendations in the federal Dietary Guidelines for Americans (DGA), thereby under consuming a variety of nutrients they need to grow. The National Milk Producers Federation (NMPF), the International Dairy Foods Association (IDFA) and the School Nutrition Association (SNA) look forward to working with parents and school nutritionists to increase consumption of dairy in keeping with recommendations from the 2020-2025 DGA report and leading health organizations. Moreover, because of falling participation rates in school breakfast and lunch programs due to the COVID-19 pandemic and removal of universal free meals in the upcoming school year, there are growing concerns for nutrition security among students.“Dairy farmers and the cooperatives they own have for generations taken pride in the fact that the milk they produce is critical in meeting the nutritional needs of schoolchildren,” said Jim Mulhern, president and CEO of NMPF. “Milk makes school meals more healthful and offering many varieties of milk encourages children to consume these products vital for their own development. From low-fat avored to lactose-free options, parents, educators, and policy leaders overwhelmingly agree that milk on the menu encourages healthy kids and ensures that everyone has equitable access to the 13 essential nutrients milk provides through school meals.”

“I always just worked with cattle until Eli brought horses into my world,” Berndt-Paral said. “The horses are a lot of fun but also a lot of work. We love them a lot.”The horses live across from the dairy barn, but in the future, they will be housed in a barn next to The Grainary, which is located on the opposite side of the road from the dairy. “I didn’t want people on the farm side of the road, so this was the perfect place to do this,” she said. A project she is passionate about, Berndt-Paral said The Grainary is a work in progress. She and her family continue to netune this vintage centerpiece and plan to do more landscaping this year. There are also plans to incorporate an old garage next door to The Grainary to display the overow of items in their marketplace.TheGrainary is more than just a structure; it is a welcoming respite that Berndt-Paral created with help from her family. A future goal she has is to keep The Grainary open all summer to sell produce and ground beef. The family has plans to add air conditioning to maintain a comfortable temperature in the building on hot, summer days. “We wanted to start out slow, but we’re hoping to continue to grow each year,” Berndt-Paral said. “The Grainary is becoming a special place to a lot of people.”

It was really fun and went really well.”Her granddaughter’s roadside stand – Lindsay May’s Market – served as the inspiration for The Grainary.“Acouple years ago, Lindsay May wanted to earn a few bucks on the side selling produce during the summer, and I wanted to expand on this idea,” Berndt-Paral said. Most events are centered around holidays and take place on the weekend. Fall Harvest at The Grainary will feature items to purchase such as pumpkins, cornstalks, owers, baked goods, popcorn and gifts along with horse-drawn wagon rides, a corn maze, bouncy house, food truck and ice cream truck.

The baked goods made by Berndt-Paral and her daughter-in-law and future daughter-in-law, like cakes, cookies, and breads, are big sellers at events.
Homemade soap and maple syrup, eggs, T-shirts and other odds and ends are also for sale in The Grainary. In addition, the events serve as another avenue for distributing the farm’s fresh ground beef which, along with the eggs, is a crowd pleaser. Maple trees bordering The Grainary are the source of the family’s homemade syrup. The farm is also home to a team of Suffolk Punch draft horses, and the family offers horse-drawn wagon rides during their events.
