It’s fun, but is it safe?
by Sally Colby Farm kids often have advantages over their suburban and urban peers when it comes to opportunities for learning about working with livestock and machinery. One of the most popular pieces of machinery among youth is the 4-wheeler, or ATV, but such vehicles are responsible for serious accidents every year. To help both adults and youth understand the potential hazards with ATVs, Penn State ag engineers have created roll-over simulators. These simulators, which include a tractor cab and a full-size ATV, draw attention at events such as the Keystone Farm Show in York, PA and Penn State’s Ag Progress Days in Rock Springs, PA. “The impetus for roll-over demonstrations is generated from an annual fatality report from the ag safety and health team,” said Bill Harshman, senior project associate in agricultural safety and health at Penn State University. “The numbers generate interest in what we see as the need to educate folks out in the field.” Harshman says the simulators created to help tractor and ATV operators understand slope aren’t complicated. “It’s a hydraulic system on a tilt-table,” he said. “With 4-wheelers, manufacturers make a recommendation about the degree of slope that should not be exceeded. On some of the newer ATVs we see a decal that says not to exceed a 15 to 25 degree slope. On UTVs that have a passenger seat in the back, they show only a 15 degree slope on their decal because the center of gravity is higher with extra passengers.” When the simulators are present at ag events, data is collected on individuals who try the slope demonstrations. “We’ve found that in about 600 to 800 responses, no matter the gender, age or experience, almost everyone is overestimating the slope,” said Harshman. “That’s probably because they’re sitting on a machine and don’t have a reference point. But we think that overestimating a slope is a good thing — if you tell me you’re on a 30-degree slope

and you’re only on a 15-degree slope, you probably won’t go any steeper than that.” Harshman says early ATVs, most of which were 3-wheelers, were particularly unsafe, but added that there are very few 3-wheelers in use today. “That dates back to a consent decree with Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) in the mid-1970s,” he said. “We still see some of those around, but dealers aren’t selling them any more.” Harshman noted if there is increased awareness regarding product safety, such as the issue with 3-wheelers, the CPSC will approach that industry and seek voluntary compliance. As a former high school ag teacher, Harshman noticed that non-farm kids who operated ATVs were the most likely to have accidents. “The farm kids treated the machine as a tool and not a toy,” he said. “Youth who use ATVs for farm work are usually moving at relatively low speeds. If you send kids out to do farm work with an ATV, it might be pulling a cart with milk replacer and they won’t be moving at a high rate of speed.” Harshman added that despite lower speeds, fatalities associated with ATVs do occur with routine farm work, usually on steep inclines during chores such as fence repair or weed spraying. Harshman says he gets a lot of questions about the degree of slope that causes a rollover. “There isn’t really a good answer because it’s based on speed, topography and experience or inexperience of the operator,” he said. “The operator who has experience can go on a steeper slope if they drive slower and don’t steer up the hill, whereas the inexperienced person on flat ground going too fast and making a sudden turn would have the 4-wheeler roll over. The inexperienced person doesn’t recognize hazards as quickly as someone who has more experience.” One of the most common initial reactions for those who anticipate a rollover is to put a leg out in an attempt to stop the rollover. However, that action can easily result in a broken leg or life-threatening injury. Despite the fact that ATVs are intended primarily for off-road use, many ATV fatalities are the result of accidents on open roads. “It’s a machine that is not designed for highway use,” said Harshman. “A machine can go very fast on the highway, but the knobby tires grip the road surface and can cause it to flip. You’re going at a higher speed, perhaps making a turn and there’s more friction, or grab, on the roadway.” Harshman added the ATV driver on the highway who glances over his shoulder to check for traffic behind may inadvertently mis-steer the vehicle and cause an accident. Dirt and gravel roads have a more uneven surface than paved surfaces, and there slipping hazards associated driving on those roads. Harshman says about 50 percent of 4-wheeler fatalities among older teens and adults are alcohol-related. “It’s a fast machine out on the highway and a DUI situation, and if that machine flips on the road, you probably aren’t going

CattleWomen meet at National Cattle Convention
by Rebecca Long Chaney NASHVILLE, TN — CattleWomen from coast to coast gathered recently for the National Cattle Industry Convention and National Cattlemen’s Beef Association (NCBA) Trade Show. Members of the American National CattleWomen’s Association (ANCW) met to discuss ways to empower their members to make continued contributions to the beef community. Volunteer CattleWomen are a vital part of the programs managed by ANCW. The country is divided into seven regions and each region works hard to carry out ANCW’s mission to promote beef programs and activities. Ann Nogan of Lackawanna County, PA, has served as the Region One ANCW director for nearly two years. According to Nogan, region one represents all states north of Kentucky, all the Mid-Atlantic states, the Northeast, as well as Ohio, Indiana and Michigan. Nogan, her husband, and two sons operate Applewood Farm, a cow/calf farm and feed-yard. “We are fortunate to have two sons recently return from college with an interest to continue the family operation,” she said. That is why ANCW and its mission to promote and preserve the beef industry is so important to Nogan. She wants to help make sure there is a future for her sons who are committed to ensuring the success of the operation and the cattle industry. The Pennsylvania beef producer has a strong passion for the beef community and was ready to step up when nominated as ANCW vice president. “In my role as vice president I want to engage CattleWomen throughout the nation in our Beef Promotional Programs,” she said. “Today’s ANCW are known for three things — youth development, beef promotion and legislative work.” Nogan believes ANCW members have the innate ability to positively influence meal-time makers to choose beef more often for their family meals. “ANCW members share a passion and enthusiasm and volunteer countless hours toward a variety of activities which connect Americans of all ages with modern beef production and cooking with beef.” According to Nogan, ANCW’s new “Moms, Millennials and More” program leverages these unique CattleWomen talents to support the cattle industry’s strategic priorities, including activities that will strengthen the image of beef and the beef industry and improve domestic consumer preference for beef. “The program also supports the improvement of industry trust, openness, and relationships,” Nogan said. “Events and tools included in this program will provide moms and Millennials a variety of opportunities for learning about best ways to cook with ground beef, steak, roasts and ready-made beef products,” the newly elected ANCW vice president explained. “Increased confidence in our beef products, coupled with basic cooking knowledge and exciting meal inspirations will ultimately lead to increased beef demand.” Growing our industry continues to be a challenge in the beef community, according to Nogan. “National beef producers represent two percent of the population,” she added. “Our next generation will only be able to operate if we share our production story and educate others on the importance of beef in maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Educating consumers, legislators and our community on the production measures we need to have in place in order to ensure our sons and daughters will be able to continue to farm and ranch is important.” Forrest Roberts, NCBA Chief Executive Officer, believes the work of both NCBA and the ANCW is critical to the success and future of the beef community. “We are very proud of the momentum NCBA and the beef industry have right now,” Roberts said. “We have faced a great deal of adversity, created by
Mother Nature and other events outside of our control. However, we have come through those challenges of the past few years and learned some important lessons along the way. We are now positioned to put those lessons to work and position our industry for a very bright future. I am very pleased with the direction we are heading and I think we have the opportunity of a lifetime, for perhaps the next fiveplus years, to maximize our potential and make this a better industry for every member of the beef community.” Like the ANCW, Roberts also believes that NCBA must target Millennials. “We face a changing consumer landscape which will require a shift in how we position beef in order to position it as the protein of choice for Millennial consumers,” Roberts explained. “To achieve that goal, we are implementing new digital strategies and other methods to reach Millennials, a generation bigger than the Baby Boomers. They’re shaping their eating and buying habits now and the success of this work will determine the success of the future for beef and beef producers. “Our ability to position beef in the hearts and minds of consumers at home is only part of the opportunity for the beef community,” Roberts continued. “Consumers overseas are increasingly important and we are focused on continuing to protect and expand market access for U.S. Beef in overseas markets. Beef exports have adding $250-plus per head to fed cattle prices and by increasing access in important markets and opening trade in markets which are now closed to U.S. Beef, I expect we could see significant growth in that value.” Other areas of concern facing the cattle industry is increased regulatory challenges in Washington, D.C., and the increasing influence of the activist community trying to put beef producers out of business. With more than 28,000 members, the NCBA and the nearly 2,000 ANCW members will continue to work for the promotion and preservation of the beef community. “Supplying high quality beef products to consumers, while educating them on the benefits beef offers as the best protein source is what CattleWomen do best,” said Nogan. “We need to be open and honest in explaining our practices and show consumers where they can find the information to make sound decisions when they are making their beef purchases.”

Photos by Rebecca Long Chaney Roberts said NCBA is and always has been, a grassroots membership organization. “We are the strongest national cattle industry and uniquely positioned to represent our members and the beef industry on issues at the local, state and national levels,” he concluded.
Members of the American National CattleWomen (ANCW) met several days during the National Cattle Industry Convention in Nashville to discuss their top three priorities, beef promotion, youth development and legislative work. Region One members met during the ANCW President’s Council and reviewed their programs. ANCW members from left, are, Kayla Alexander of Sabina, Ohio, Ann Nogan of Scott Township, PA, and Tracy Fitzsimmons of Charleston, WV, and the WV Department of Agriculture.

Direct marketing pricing strategies that work for buyers and sellers by Bill and Mary Weaver “The core group of customers who will pay the most for your locally grown produce are those who value local food; want to support the local economy; are looking for the health benefits of buying local; and value their relationship with you, the grower,” according to Dr. Tim Woods. These customers care about value, but are not primarily price shoppers. “An extreme example of the pricepremium consumers will put on local farm products would be the $10 a dozen price charged for free range eggs at a farmers market in the middle of New York City. These customers were not particularly sensitive to price. They really wanted their local market eggs to be free range!” stated Woods. Not all consumers share the same passion about local. In other market venues where local or free range is not as highly valued, the producer may have difficulty getting an extra 10 to 15 cents a dozen above the standard supermarket price for eggs. Still, with the popularity of local products, we see these products featured in more and more types of markets. Although many local supermarkets want to offer local produce, they don’t necessarily connect well with that core group of locavores, and don’t usually pay much more than commodity prices for locally grown items. Farmers markets and CSAs are the places where local growers can connect most closely with their core group of customers who place an added value on their products, and who are less price-conscious. Ways to Enhance Your Prices at Farmers Markets Surprisingly, one way to enhance both sales and prices is with sampling, according to Dr. Woods. “We discovered, in a large research study of 3,500 farm market patrons in eight states, that when samples were offered, fully 55 percent of those customers ended up buying a fruit or vegetable they had not intended to purchase before they came to the market.” This is an impressive increase in sales! “We also found,” Woods continued, “that customers were just as eager to sample, and then buy, familiar items such as different kinds of apples and strawberries, as they were unusual items they hadn’t been familiar with.” The study clearly showed that offering samples can have a huge impact on sales, helping you to differentiate your product, and frequently making it possible for you to charge higher prices. “The farm market is the best venue to offer samples,” Woods continued. “At the market, customers are looking to experience produce in a different way from in the grocery store. Customers also want to know more about you, and the superiority and uniqueness of your products. All this helps build loyalty in your relationship with your customers.” Kentucky developed a certification for
farm marketers offering fresh fruit and vegetable samples, to allay health department concerns. “We train people how to offer samples effectively and as safely as possible. They put together a wash station, learn how to protect the samples from flies and bugs, and how to protect utensils. Given the huge impact it has on sales, offering samples at farm markets is good for everybody.” Tips on Maximizing Income at Farmers Markets Here are some tips Woods offered. 1. Put the higher margin, highest value product in the easiest to reach location. If a pint of blueberries sells for $2.50, and a quart sells for $4, the smaller pack is much more profitable for the grower. So put the pints of blueberries toward the front of the display, where customers can reach them easily. 2. Use extremely clear signs with the name of the product and the price. “A lot of people aren’t comfortable asking the grower what the price of an item is.” 3. Doing random weight pricing, rather than pre-packaging, can pay. Have a certified scale available to weigh the amount of green beans, say, that the customer bags up. This saves you the time and expense of packaging, and consumers often like to bring their own shopping bags. 4. Supermarket produce managers have a saying that applies equally well to farm markets, emphasized Woods: “Stack it high, and watch it fly.” It has been shown that customers buy more readily where the product looks abundant and fresh, with clear pricing. Selling to Chefs Restaurants increasingly want to offer local items, with smaller restaurants typically paying higher prices than very large ones. “Before you go to talk to a chef,” Woods advised, “have some idea of what price your product can command. Don’t rely on the chef for all your marketing information. Have open communication about price. “Be careful not to price yourself out of the market. A chef can’t afford to serve an $8 to $10 ‘local’ salad. In most cases, it will not sell.” Season-long relationships can be developed with restaurants, if you deliver quality and value. You can become a preferred supplier. Produce Auctions as a Growing Market-How States Can Help In the Kentucky region, according to Woods, there has been a large growth in produce auctions, established by Amish and Mennonite farmers looking for land who have seen auctions work well in their home state of Pennsylvania. Many other states have also seen a ‘blooming’ of local produce auctions. The University of Kentucky Center for Crop Diversification is performing a valuable service for growers selling at auctions by publishing price reports on a weekly basis, communicating to commercial growers, for example, when the demand for cantaloupes is high, and when cantaloupes are selling for 10 cents apiece, and they had better look
elsewhere to market their crop. The week-to-week published price reports also help growers maker better informed decisions about what to grow. Growers wondering, “Should I get started with strawberries this year, and if I do, what prices can I expect?” can study the price reports and find some solid answers. The most successful auctions target smaller wholesale buyers. Over 700 vendors were selling at the six active produce auctions in Kentucky in 2012. Recognize Your Costs An important tenet of good pricing is to recognize your costs-all of them- for producing the item. Factor in also your costs for cold storage, delivery, and packaging, for example. This is a really important principle to understand. “If you don’t know your cost, you won’t recognize a good price. If your customers can’t pay you the price you need to cover all your costs and make a reasonable profit, you just can’t make it work,” Woods concluded.
Farmers markets and CSAs are the places where local growers can connect most closely with their core group of customers who place an added value on their products, and who are less price-conscious.

Record attendance gathers for 2014 PA Dairy Summit in State College, PA
by Jon M. Casey For a record number of attendees who braved a pending nor’easter, the trip to the Penn Stater Hotel and Convention Center in State College, PA, a new venue for the fifth annual event, proved to be the ideal location. With more than 400 dairy industry professionals attending the two-day event hosted by the Center for Dairy Excellence and the Professional Dairy Managers of Pennsylvania (PDMP) in February, organizers were extremely pleased with the turnout. Over 60 exhibitors offered their support for the annual event, with an industry trade show that lined hallways and side rooms at the convention center. During breaks and at times specifically devoted to the exhibits, participants enjoyed the opportunity to visit with agribusiness product and service providers. Featured as this year’s Business Showcase, Ahold USA/Giant Foods was represented by Senior Vice President Larry Stover, who emphasized his company’s commitment to Pennsylvania’s dairy industry. He said his company’s entire private branded fluid milk is being sold under the PA Preferred ™ labeling throughout the company’s Pennsylvania and midAtlantic stores. According to Stover, with this commitment, dating back to mid-2013, Giant Foods is relying upon Pennsylvania dairy producers exclusively, for their fluid milk. With Lehigh Valley Dairy headquartered in Lansdale, PA serving as Giant’s bottling company, together they serve the Giant/Martin food markets in Pennsylvania, Virginia, Maryland and Delaware, with Pennsylvania-produced and bottled milk. As a result, John Frey, Executive Director for the Center for Dairy Excellence, presented this year’s CDE Pacesetter Award to Lehigh Valley Dairy. As this year’s Producer Showcase presenters, Bill Morgan and Jon Gilbert, owners of Scipio Spring Dairy, offered their innovative business model as a viable alternative to conventional planning. A New York State operation milking approximately 800 cows with a rolling herd average of 30,700 pounds began as a cows-only operation. From its inception, Morgan and Gilbert have purchased all of their feed and forage, harvested from acreage owned by others, and more recently, some that was purchased in an LLC. Scipio Spring has grown to include land totaling approximately 600 acres, however the crops are still being custom-farmed with the feedstuffs grown and harvested under contract to others. Meanwhile Morgan and Gilbert acquired a second dairy operation, Windsong Dairy, an operation that is some two hours distant from Scipio Springs. Windsong Dairy, near Watertown, NY, was purchased in 2008. That operation is under the oversight of farm manager Diesel Kitt,

a partial owner who was retained following the farm purchase from the previous owner. At Windsong, Kitt’s team milks approximately 600 cows that average 28,900 plus pounds of milk production. Windsong, unlike Scipio Springs, has a larger land base of approximately 1,400 acres, however the crops there too, are custom grown and harvested. According to Morgan, this method of crop management gives Morgan and Gilbert more control over the feed quality and it has proven to be a successful business model that has not required extensive equipment owner-

ship and maintenance. This method of crop and labor management has been in place since Scipio dairy’s inception in 2002. More recently, the Cayuga Marketing Group, a farmer-owned and operated milk marketing organization headed up by Morgan and of which his farms are members, has embarked on a building project that includes a new milk solids production plant due to begin operation in mid-2014. Together Cayuga Marketing along with a new company Cayuga Milk Ingredients will begin processing milk from the marketing group, turning it into milk protein concentrates and milk protein isolates for sale on the world market. Cayuga Milk Marking members will be working with Ingredia, a French company contracted to market the products under an agreement with Cayuga Milk Ingredients. In this way, the producers will have an ongoing resource to sell their milk under which they
have more control and their plan it to reap more consistant income from this endeavor. Other presentations during the PA Dairy Summit included a motivational keynote address by Adam Taliaferro, former Penn State football player who recovered from an extremely serious neck injury he received during a game. His recovery, despite odds of being totally paralyzed, has been an inspiration to others who suffer the same fate. Taliaferro and his family head up the Adam Taliaferro Foundation to assist individuals who suffer catastrophic head or spinal cord injuries. Mary Kay Williams, an associate for Penn State Corporate Learning in State College, gave tips on how to negotiate with others, both off and on the farm. Her “hands-on” approach to sharing her ideas, gave attendees the opportunity to interact as they learned ways to negotiate for various outcomes. Other breakout sessions during the afternoon included presentations by Dr. Katy Proudfoot, on Transition Cow Management; Ron Hoover and Eric Risser on Double and Triple Cropping; Dr. Mike Van Amburgh on Calf Care and Immunity; and Ray Prock on Dairy Apps and Technology. Prock, a dairy producer from Denair, CA, who was scheduled to attend but whose flight was cancelled because of the impending nor’easter, was able to share his ideas via Skype during Wednesday’s afterlined the hallways and side rooms at the 2014 PA Dairy Expo. noon sessions.

Crop Comments by Paris Reidhead Field Crops Consultant Feed higher fiber in colder weather Livestock people I work with have been complaining that their cattle are woofing down forages at unusually high rates due the cold weather. My response is that these animals, in addition to being milk producers, are also big black-andwhite furnaces (or what other color they happen to be). I’ve long believed that cold weather is the best time to feed the more fibrous, hence lower energy, roughage to ruminants. If they can acquire warmth from this fiber, this means they won’t be tapping into energy better used to make milk. I’ll address the livestock bodywarming aspects of lower quality feeds. My 1959 Edition of Morrison’s Feeds and Feeding touches briefly, but adequately, on the subject of heat increment. Morrison writes that one can easily envision the energy required by jaws when they chew food. Less visible are the workings of digestive juices, plus the increased work of the heart and lungs during digestion. Most of us know that rumination is a dynamic process, also. Quoting F.B. Morrison, “There are losses of energy through the heat produced through the bacterial action upon carbohydrates. The energy expended in all these processes takes the form of heat, and it may help to warm the body, if sufficient heat is not being produced elsewhere in the body.” Professor Morrison also wrote that a speeding up of the body processes takes place, a development which always follows ingesting, and digesting, food. At the peak of this digestive activity, more heat is produced than at other times. The occurrence takes place in all animals, but particularly with ruminants. Scientists use the term “heat increment” to include the energy losses associated with the consumption and metabolizing of food.
(Contact: renrock46@hotmail.com)
Such losses of energy in heat increment are much greater with fibrous foods (like roughages), than with grain and other lower fiber concentrates. In his Feeds and Feeding Morrison also wrote, “About 33 percent of the energy in the nutrients digested from corn grain is used up in this ‘work of digestion’, while this loss is approximately 60 percent in the case of wheat straw.” These are extreme examples of different feedstuffs, but they help us visualize how mammals with a digestive system created to process vegetative materials (rather than seeds) can crank out a lot of heat. The cow, the
sheep, and the goat (with their four stomachs) fall in this last category, followed closely by the horse, with its one stomach and a cecum. To a lesser extent, pigs (and humans, as stated earlier) are influenced by heat increment. Thirty plus years ago University of Georgia researchers experimented with pigs. Their work was written up in the Journal of Animal Science in 1982. That research paper was titled “Effect of Heat Increment and Level of Dietary Energy and Environmental Temperatures on the Performance of Growing-Finishing Swine.” Experiments were conducted to evaluate the levels and sources of di-

etary energy for growing and finishing pigs during cool and warm seasons. The main objective was to determine the effect of lower energy diets containing more fiber during cooler temperatures. During Georgia winter conditions, lower energy (higher fiber) diets supported daily gains equal to the weight gains of pigs fed higher energy diets. However gains were decreased during periods of higher temperatures. Feed conversion improved with each increment of dietary energy, and pigs were more efficient converters of concentrate feed (grains) during warm season trials. They concluded that fibrous sources of energy are lower in energy, and thus are more difficult to digest; therefore, higher fiber feeds have a higher heat increment. Low energy/higher fiber diets further stressed animals at higher temperatures.

The Georgia researchers determined that this excessive heat of metabolism was utilized to maintain body temperature during low temperature feeding trials. Thus, I would surmise that pigs would benefit even more from increased dietary fiber in the Northeast winters, than they do down in Dixie. I can personally attest to how roughages increase body heat in dairy cattle during the cold ravages of a New York winter. About the time that the Georgia scientists were studying the warmth benefits of fiber for pigs, I was milking cows for room and board. I believe the wall calendar displayed January 1979, a period equal to or colder than the first two months of 2014. I would “hit the barn” about 5 a.m. The pre-dawn temperature would be minus 15 Fahrenheit or worse.
Barn fans hardly ran at all. Cattle had all but cleaned up last night’s hay feeding (we didn’t want them to ever totally run out of hay). I grained the 50 (or so) cows in this stanchion barn. With three belly buckets pulsating, I rolled out a few small round bales, so the cows could chow down hay as they were being milked. As dawn approached, outside temperature dropped a little more. However, the barn fans kicked on. As cattle body temperatures dropped, because the milk had left them, these animals aggressively ate more dry hay, so as to warm up. They abundantly achieved that goal, releasing enough additional body heat to trip the fan thermostats. The owner of these cows was a gung-ho Holstein man, so all these four-legged furnaces were blackand-white.

Market managers can make farmers markets safer by Sanne Kure-Jensen “We’re riding the wave of the local food movement,” said Bevan Linsley, Farmers Market manager and conference organizer. This conference focused on tools market managers could use to improve food safety for a long and prosperous season. Janet Coit, RI DEM director and Ken Ayars, RI Division of Agriculture chief offered opening remarks at the Farmers Market Manager Conference, held at the Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management (DEM) headquarters In Providence, RI. Coit shared her excitement at Rhode Island having more than 50 farmers markets this past summer. As farmers increase local production, their customers help grow the local economy and protect farm-
land and open space. Ayars told participants that when farmers markets include prepared or baked goods, the markets require Special Food Events permits and vendors need a food business license pursuant to Rhode Island Department of Health rules. Different rules and regulations apply than those of farmers markets selling only raw produce. Individually wrapped baked goods must be labeled with their ingredients (in order of volume), nutritional content and allergy warnings (nuts, dairy, etc.) Any farmers market vendor selling items other than produce (whole, uncut) needs a license. Market managers are responsible to tell the state who will be at their markets. It will be up to the state to oversee their licenses and verify their compliance.
Food Safety Lori Pivarnik, Ph.D. URI’s Food Safety/Research Nutrition and Food Science coordinator, spoke on managing food safety at farmers markets. More people are eating fresh produce amid growing nutritional awareness. Sadly, there is also an increase in the number of food-borne illness outbreaks. Some problems are caused by improper consumer handling or cross-contamination. Risks can be vastly reduced through careful growing, harvest, processing and selling practices. Large operations have more hands touching products and outbreaks have greater impacts. However, record keeping may be easier for small operations since they have more control with less to track than larger farm operations.
Black’s Equipment Largest Southeast Full Line
Pivarnik recommended farmers always think about what is going on uphill of your fields, water source or processing facility. This is one of the best ways to protect against food contamination. Microbial contaminants can come from wild animal feces, livestock manures or carcasses, people, air, plants and contaminated water. Processing lines should be cleaned and sanitized between produce classes. Variable conditions can trigger growth of pathogens to dangerous levels. Some contaminants can lay dormant for as long as 250 days in soils threatening contamination and illness to people. Reduce Risks At the Farm — Farm practices focused on prevention can vastly reduce the risks of food contamination. Pivarnik recommended farmers seek GAP training and
certification. On-farm programs monitor and protect water quality, manure composting and careful timing of spreading composted manures for soils fertility. Careful tool cleaning and sanitizing, hand washing, good harvesting and processing practices and proper temperature control as appropriate after harvest can significantly improve food safety. More buyers and states require ‘Traceback’ systems. At the Market — Pivarnik encourages market managers to take these minimal precautions at their markets: • Be sure all vendors have access to ice made from potable water; clean and sanitize icemakers routinely. • Mist produce with spray bottles of potable water to keep them cool. • Ensure hand-washing station available. A dedicated coffee urn can be used for hot water. • Keep boxes or bins of food off the ground.
• Do not allow pets or petting zoos at or near farmers markets. • Ask vendors to have dedicated people handling money, raw meats or produce. If not, they should use gloves to avoid cross-contamination with produce or ready-to-eat foods. Hand sanitizers are not nearly as effective as washing hands properly. Using individual sheets of waxed paper or tongs are best for food handling. • Ask vendors not to sell produce with many bruises (seconds). This can reduce customers’ risk of food-borne illness. • Be sure coolers with ice have drains so foods do not float in liquids. Market Managers should include recommended practices, sanitation guidelines and state regulations in their vendor packets. Consumers will benefit from well-trained vendors and farmers.

Cheese Price-Climb Continues Demand Still Strong for Now Issued Feb. 28, 2014 The Agriculture Department’s preliminary January Cold Storage report pegs January 31, 2014 butter stocks at 138.1 million pounds, up 25.6 million pounds or 23 percent from December 2013, but 69 million pounds or 33 percent below a year ago. American-type cheese totaled 630.7 million pounds, up 12.4 million or 2 percent from December but 12.5 million pounds or 2 percent below a year ago. Total cheese in storage on January 31 amounted to 1.016 billion pounds, up 6.5 million pounds or 1 percent from December, but 16.3 million or 2 percent below that on January 31, 2013. USDA’s latest Dairy Situation at a Glance Dairy Data shows commercial
disappearance of milk in all dairy products in 2013 exceeded dairy farm milk marketings by 4.84 billion pounds and that is the highest level in nine years. Commercial disappearance of milk in all dairy products for 2013, estimated at 205.1 billion pounds, is up 3.1 percent from 2012, while 2013 farm milk marketings totaled 200.3 billion, up 0.4 percent from 2012. American type cheese commercial disappearance, at 4.45 billion pounds, was up 2.2 percent from 2013. December disappearance, at 373.5 million pounds, was up 1.3 percent. Other -than-American cheese totaled 7.0 billion pounds in 2013, up 3.2 percent from 2012. December disappearance totaled 615.7 million
pounds, up 4.5 percent from a year ago. Butter disappearance in 2013 totaled 1.93 billion pounds, up 6.3 percent from 2012. For December, butter disappearance totaled 171.5 million pounds, up 12.4 percent from a year ago. Commercial disappearance of milk used in all dairy products in December totaled 17.08 billion pounds, up 3.4 percent from December 2012, and about 375 million pounds more than total farm milk marketings for the month. Farm milk marketings for December totaled 16.71 billion pounds, according

Mielke from A10 to USDA. Meanwhile on the price front; cash cheese ticked higher on bids the final week of February with the blocks closing at $2.2225 per pound, up 6 cents on the week and 64 3/4-cents above that week a year ago when they bottomed out for the year at $1.5750. The Cheddar barrels closed Friday at $2.20, up 4 1/4-cents on the week and 64 cents above a year ago. No cheese was
sold in the spot market all week. The lagging NDPSR-surveyed block price fell to $2.2552, down 6.7 cents, and the barrels averaged $2.2506, down 7.4 cents. Cheese buyers have been cautious about purchasing above immediate needs, according to Dairy Market News (DMN), and that built up demand moved available spot supplies fairly quickly. Cheese production is increasing with

more milk available in many parts of the country. Cheese plants are concentrating on satisfying contract orders and are reluctant to build inventories. Export demand is good with plants continuing to satisfy the relatively newfound customer base. Cash butter saw lots of activity this week, with 36 carloads exchanging hands. It closed Friday at $1.88 per pound, up 9 1/2-cents on the week and 30 1/2-cents above a year ago. NDPSR butter averaged $1.8369,
down 2.2 cents. DMN reports that many butter manufacturers’ production levels were higher due to increasing seasonal milk supplies and improving cream supply in the West; at the same time cream supplies are heavy in the Central and Northeast regions. The market tone is steady with many butter makers who have the capabilities of making 82% focusing on steady export sales, while others are filling improving domestic retail orders. But-
ter stocks are steady to higher, says DMN. Cash Grade A nonfat dry milk finished at $2.04, down a half-cent on the week. Twelve loads exchanged hands on the week. NDPSR powder averaged $2.0825, up 0.6 cent, and dry whey averaged 63.45 cents per pound, also up 0.6 cent. Milk production is increasing as weather improves across some parts of the country. USDA’s weekly update says milk production in New Mexico is firm with optimal temperatures for day and nighttime cow comfort. Florida saw steady milk production as unusually cold weather changed to warmer seasonal temperatures. While milk production improves at the farm level, haulers in the Central region were experiencing transporting delays, caused by icy roads. Increases in milk production are proving challenging as California
processors are having concerns about surpassing state processing capacity. Some processors are looking for takers for surplus milk. Milk demand continues to outpace supplies in Utah and Idaho. Dairies are slow to build herds, due to higher prices for replacement heifers, according to DMN. Bottling demand is mixed across the regions. Bottle sales in the Southeast have flattened following strong Class I demand resulting from the recent snow storm. Cream supplies are reported readily available in parts of the country, with varying Class usage. Cream demand is expected to surge in the Southwest with upcoming interest from amusement and sports parks. Cooperatives Working Together (CWT) accepted 23 requests for export assistance this week to sell 4.791 million pounds of Cheddar, Gouda and Monterey Jack cheese, and 1.032 million pounds of 82% butter to customers in Asia, the Middle East, North Africa and South Pacific. The product will be delivered through June and brings CWT’s year-to-date cheese exports to 25.329 million pounds, plus 7.276 million pounds of butter, and 698,865 pounds of whole milk powder to 19 countries on four continents. These sales are the equivalent of 397.8 million pounds of milk on a milkfat basis. In other export news; the U.S. Dairy Export Council (USDEC) and the National Milk Producers Federation (NMPF), in a joint press release this morning, called on U.S. negotiators to insure that “the ongoing, and so far, inconclusive negotiations of the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), must result in the free trade of dairy products between the United States, Canada and Japan.” Speaking on behalf of America’s dairy farmers, processors and exporters, the two groups said “progress on market access into those two markets has been frustratingly slow, and

Mielke from A9 U.S. negotiators shouldn’t allow the process to drag on indefinitely.” The statement follows ministerial-level meetings in Singapore this week on several contentious, yet-to-be resolved issues, including resistance by Canada and Japan to allow further market access for “sensitive” sectors, including dairy imports. The TPP involves a significant number of markets bordering the Pacific Ocean, including the United States, Australia, Brunei, Canada, Chile, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore and Vietnam. NMPF President and CEO Jim Mulhern noted, “The U.S. dairy industry is prepared to eliminate all tariffs affecting dairy trade with Canada and Japan, as long as they do the same. If Japan and Canada are not willing to make an effort and offer realistic market access to the U.S., then they are not serious about being part of TPP.” “It is time to finish the Trans-Pacific Partnership negotiations, including resolving the treatment of agricultural trade,” said Tom Suber, president of USDEC. “The principle of creating comprehensive market access is too important
to this and future trade agreements. Therefore, if Japan and Canada are not committed to this goal, we need to move forward without them.” Got Milk? Not anymore, according to the February 24 Advertising Age, which reports that the Milk Processor Education Program is sidelining the iconic ad slogan in favor of a new tagline, “Milk Life,” which puts emphasis on milk’s nutritional benefits, including its protein content. The change is part of a national campaign that seeks to return the sluggish dairy milk category to growth. The national milk industry had been using the “Got Milk?” tagline since 1995 when the phrase was licensed from the California Milk Processor board. The state group began using the tagline in 1993 after it was created by Goodby, Silverstein & Partners. California processors, which are still with Goodby, are keeping the tagline, which is one of the most recognizable and parodied phrases in advertising. The national group is moving in another direction as it looks to boost milk sales, which are suffering as other beverages gain ground and cereal sales stall. Eu-
romonitor International estimates drinking-milk retail sales volume declined by about 1 percent last year. MilkPEP plans to spend more than $50 million on the campaign, which will include TV, print, digital, retail promotions and PR. Much as we hate to see milk sales declining like they are, the bright side is that they haven’t plunged like orange juice. A network news story this week indicated that OJ sales in 2012-13 were down almost 40percent from 2000-01. And, in an update to our story from last week, the Yakima Herald reports that one of the families facing a legal challenge involving the Safe Drinking Water Act has settled the federal environmental lawsuit to “protect innocent relatives.” Rick and Marlene Haak, the former owners of one of five dairies sued in U.S. District Court for alleged pollution, only settled last week to prevent family members from being included the suit, said Marlene Haak. “From our perspective, it was a very pressured settlement,” said Marlene Haak, 57.

Mielke from A10 the Haaks the day after the Feb. 6 settlement but the couple did not re-
ceive a message. The Haaks’ extended family, which has been
dairy farming in the Lower Valley since the 1970s, owns the Sunnyside
property where the dairy used to stand through a limited liability corporation set up when they bought it in 1996, Marlene Haak said. Their opponents accuse them of hiding behind corporations to avoid environmental liability, the Herald reported. The complete story is posted at http://www.yakimaherald.com/community/lowervalley/sunnysidecontent/19233778/dairy-family-settledsuit-to-protect-innocentrelatives . Jay Gordon, Executive Director of the Washington State Dairy Federation, warns that this case will set precedent across the country. As we have reported in the past, California is considering forming a Federal milk market order but doing so is problematic to the state’s quota system and higher minimum standards. Those are just two of the issues to be addressed at Western United Dairymen’s (WUD) annual meeting March 5-7 in San Luis
Obispo. The theme this year is “Taking Action, Embracing Change.” CEO Michael Marsh reported in Friday’s DairyLine that the producer community in California has become very frustrated when comparing local milk prices to milk going into cheese in other parts of the country and that will be addressed on Thursday and include presentations by USDA Agricultural Marketing Service Dairy Programs Deputy Administrator, Dana Coale, as well as two attorneys, one specializing in Federal orders, Chip English, a partner at Davis, Wright, Tremaine LLP, and the architect of the California regulatory system, John Vlahos, Partner, Hanson Bridgett LLP, and WUD’s longtime legal advocate. California’s quota system is a “problematic issue,” according to Marsh, “Because quota is very important to California dairy producers and securing it is also going to be one of the challenges with a federal order.”
Marsh said he believes that cooperatives are drafting language for a proposed federal order for California that envision USDA administering the federal market order and a transfer of quota monies would come from USDA, back to the California Department of Food and Agriculture to redistribute to producers. That provision, however, will take legislation within the California legislature to implement that, he said. When asked about California’s higher minimum standards with respect to its fluid milk, Marsh said “I think we’ll be okay.” He admitted that he had a scare in July, 2012 when Rep. Steve King of Iowa had offered an amendment in the House Ag Committee’s markup that would have eliminated California’s fluid standards but it was not included in the final farm bill so “we will be able to maintain our higher fluid standards.” Details are posted at www.wudconvention.com .

New York’s top two youth volunteers selected in 19th Annual National Awards Program Staten Island and Gasport students earn $1,000 awards, engraved medallions and trip to nation’s capital Honors also bestowed on youth volunteers in Williamsville, West Islip, Ogdensburg, Brooklyn, Hampton Bays, Briarcliff Manor, New York City and Delmar ALBANY, NY — Sean Egan, 17, of Staten Island and Haley Maier, 11, of Gasport on Feb. 11 were named New York’s top two youth volunteers of 2014 by The Prudential Spirit of Community Awards, a nationwide program honoring young people for outstanding acts of volunteerism. Sean was nominated by Monsignor Farrell High School in Staten Island, and Haley was nominated by Orleans County 4-H in Albion. The Prudential Spirit of Community Awards, now in its 19th year, is conducted by Prudential Financial in partnership with the National Association of Secondary School Principals (NASSP). Sean, a senior at Monsignor Farrell High School, founded an organization of more than 300 students who assist and thank veterans of the U.S. armed forces by sponsoring events, providing goods and services, and visiting military hospitals. After Sean’s father, a firefighter, died in the 9/11 terrorist attacks on New York City, Sean realized the nation had enemies and that service members were called upon to stop them. “They are the one group most responsible for protecting our way of life, and they deserve our thanks,” he said. Haley, a sixth-grader at Barker Middle School, has raised money for the Western New York Chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association by making and selling crocheted necklaces in memory of her grandmother, who died from Alzheimer’s disease before Haley was born. Although she never knew her grandmother, Haley often listened to her older sisters talk about what a great grandma she was. “She had done so much for everyone that I wanted to do something on her behalf,” she said. Since her grandmother loved to crochet, and had been assisted in many ways by the Alzheimer’s Association after she became ill, Haley decided to crochet necklaces to support the association’s work. As State Honorees, Sean and Haley each will receive $1,000, an engraved silver medallion and an all-expense-paid trip in early May to Washington, D.C., where they will join the top two honorees from each of the other states and the District of Columbia for four days of national recognition events. During the trip, 10 students will be named America’s top youth volunteers of 2014. Distinguished finalists The program judges also recognized eight other New York students as Distinguished Finalists for their impressive community service activities. Each will receive an engraved bronze medallion. These are New York’s Distinguished Finalists for 2014: Nicholas Courtney, 17, of Williamsville, NY, a senior at St Joseph’s Collegiate Institute, co-founded “International Micro-loans of Buffalo” in August of
2012 and has since raised more than $16,000 and distributed more than 61 microloans to small businesses throughout the world. Brooke Dipalma, 17, of West Islip, NY, a senior at West Islip Senior High School, founded “P.S. I Love You Day” in 2009 to put an end to bullying, depression and suicide — a day that has since been celebrated by 30,000 people in communities across the country. Camille Marshall, 17, of Ogdensburg, NY, a senior at Ogdensburg Free Academy, founded “PJs 4 XMas” with her sister in 2009, and has since collected 5,700 pairs of pajamas and more than $17,000 in cash to benefit families in need through several local organizations. Akash Mehta, 16, of Brooklyn, NY, a sophomore at Saint Ann’s School, founded “Kids for a Better Future” when he was 11 years old, and has since raised more than $50,000 to support a number of projects around the globe. Jessica Penna, 18, of Hampton Bays, NY, a senior at St. Anthony’s High School, founded the firstever school-based club for “Kids Stock the House,” an organization that supports Ronald McDonald Houses. Caroline Pennacchio, 15, of Briarcliff Manor, NY, a sophomore at Briarcliff High School, organized two book donation programs, “Twice Loved Books” and “Donate a Book in Honor of Your Graduate,” that yielded hundreds of books to expand the collection at her local library. Brook Peters, 17, of New York, NY, a member of the McBurney YMCA in New York City and a junior at Gramercy Arts High School, created “The Second Day” an educational film about people, including himself, who were personally impacted by the 9/11 attack on the World Trade Center.

Youth participants in Cornell Cooperative Extension 4-H Veterinary Science Program Twenty-three youth from Herkimer, Oneida and Madison counties spent their winter break from school doing something other than sleeping in and hanging out with their friends. These 4-H members participated in the 4-H Veterinary Science Program sponsored by Cornell Cooperative Extension of Herkimer and Oneida counties. The theme for the 2014 Vet Science Program was All Systems Go; and was targeted to sixth through eighth grade youth. The two-day program started at Morrisville State College (MSC) at the Equine Rehabilitation Center where youth learned about equine rehabilitation. Techniques demonstrated included use of the indoor swimming pool and the Aquatrainer underwater treadmill (a treadmill that is slowly filled with water, allowing horses to exercise without putting their full body weight on injured limbs, joints or tendons), and the Game Ready™ equine treatment unit (cold compression therapy). Following the demonstrations of the different rehabilitation techniques,
participants toured the complete facility. The remainder of day one was spent at the MSC Dairy Cattle Complex, where youth were shown how to give an intravenous injection to a cow as well as proper care of calves. Day two included computer conferencing with United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Veterinarian, Dr. Kimberly Kirkham, Kansas Area Veterinarian in charge of USDA’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) Veterinary Services. Dr. Kirkham shared what she does as a veterinarian, which is very different from what small and large animal veterinarians do. She works extensively with exporting cattle to other countries and shared that process. Youth then traveled to both the Rome Animal Shelter and Rome Animal Hospital to get a look behind the scenes at what they do.

A Few Words by Phoebe Hall
Sharing our winter? Change seems to be the word of the day, and I have to agree. One of the biggest changes is that we are being very generous in sharing our less than favorable winter weather with much of the country. Some people think we’re sharing too much. Another big change we have is a new Farm Bill
that includes some very sophisticated farm revenue protection insurance. This is supposed to replace existing programs that help sustain our farm incomes. But; one of the biggest uncertainties of any thing new is the real bottom line. I just hope that they don’t make this a requirement like the new health care. Most disasters, we

have absolutely no control over, such as hail, floods, wind, and drought. There is a time and a place for insurance and it comes in many forms. There are good practices that are forms of self-insurance, such as underground tiling, crop rotations, liming, and conservation that all help to reduce risks. Since we dislike the mud when we are planting or harvesting, we found that underground tile drainage helps to contribute to what little sanity we’ve been able to maintain. Some of our farm consists of nice high, gravelly knolls that require only perimeter drainage, but the rest of the farm where we’ve been able to install tile drainage has more than paid for itself, many
times over. Most of our tile drainage was installed back in the 1960s and 1970s when clay tile was the main source at that time, using a trenching machine without the use of laser, that made about a two foot wide trench which we installed the tile into. But what we did install back then has done an awesome job leveling out the playing field when it comes to monsoon seasons. We installed ours over a period of years, so it would not be such a burden financially. The most important part of this equation is a good outlet, which has to be maintained regularly. I do have to admit that we have been blessed with a creek running right through the middle of our farm, which gives us ac-

cess to good outlets. We’ve said many times, that we should have installed more tiling than we did. Two neighboring fruit farmers have also installed outlets across our property, into the creek. Another form of insurance is conservation of our natural resources. One of our sons sent us an email about the drought in Southern California. It seems that some of the farmers out there are being accused of exporting our water to the Asian perimeter nations that we are heavily borrowing from. These farmers are using a depleted water supply to irrigate their hay fields and since these lenders (buyers) from Asia are more than willing to pay higher prices for the hay than the local dairy farmers are able to, the highest bidder gets the product. This is even with the high cost of shipping thousands of miles thrown in. This has been adding a burden to the bottom line of the dairy farms out there. Some people out there are complaining that the golf courses are turning brown and want
that water saved for that. We all remember the stories from our school history classes about when Abraham Lincoln was a young lad living out in the wilderness with his family. Whenever his father saw the smoke coming from the neighbor’s chimney, he would always say it’s time to move on. This morning at daybreak we received a voice message on our answering machine. It was one of our younger neighbors, wondering if we were OK. He noticed as he was out walking his dog, after arriving home after the graveyard shift, that there wasn’t any smoke coming out of our outdoor wood furnace. My husband had overslept, after a grueling day out in the zero degree temperatures and 30 mile per hour winds, cutting wood. I would have to say that, family, good friends and neighbors are also very good sources of insurance and are all gifts from God! Love your neighbor as yourself. (Mark 12:31b) NLT

Northern New York Agricultural Development Program posts economic impact report The farmer-driven Northern New York Agricultural Development Program has posted its 2014 Economic Impact Report online at www.nnyagdev.org . The
2-page report offers a concise snapshot of the value of the 2013 projects funded by the research, technical assistance, and outreach program. The NNYADP re-
ceives funding from the New York State Legislature through the support of Senator Betty Little, Senator Patty Ritchie, Senator Joe Griffo, the state agriculture commit-
tees, and other regional and state legislators. The NNYADP–funded projects include groundbreaking initiatives, including the development of a ‘superfruit’ and the
extension of proven-successful practices to farmers across the Northern New York region. The benefits of the research include opportunities to increase production efficiency and revenue, reduce costs and labor, and enhance animal health, soil
health and water quality. Learn more and find project reports online at www.nnyagdev.org . The 2013 projects of the Northern New York Agricultural Development Program included: • establishment of New York state’s first Juneberry nursery with potential to help New York develop another ‘superfruit’ • the first heated environment trial for the production of winter season lettuce in NNY high tunnel structures • the start of the first comprehensive corn and soybean disease diagnosis and assessment database to help guide seed selection and intervention practices • crop and livestock protection projects focused on reducing parasites in sheep and goats, brown root rot in alfalfa, and leek moth in onion, garlic and other allium crops • the first application of native-New York nematodes to control weevils in strawberry crops • outreach to alfalfa growers to use the new Managing Alfalfa Snout Beetle (ASB) Primer for the cost-effective, onfarm application of native-New York nematodes to control destructive ASB pest • precision apple orchard thinning to improve fruit size and yield • bioenergy crop production research with willow and grass crops • a survey of economically-feasible and nutritious substitutes for corn in dairy cow feed rations • maple producer outreach regarding basic equipment changes that can increase sap yields and sugarbush income • outreach to encourage use of early intervention practices to correct vegetable crop nutrient deficiencies • variety trials for corn, legume, small grain, soybean and tall fescue crops under Northern New York growing conditions, and • four agricultural environmental stewardship projects for precision nutrient management and the use of tile drainage and fall cover crops.

Fifty-five groups ask Congress to help stop USDA from introducing FMD into the United States In a letter sent March 4, 55 organizations asked a bipartisan group of five U.S. Senators for help in stopping the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) from going forward with plans to relax the nation’s protections against foot-andmouth disease (FMD).
On Dec. 23, 2013, APHIS proposed to relax U.S. disease protections to allow the importation of fresh beef from Brazil, a country where, according to the group’s letter, FMD is still considered endemic. “We are concerned that APHIS is disregarding its responsibilities under the Animal Health Protection Act (AHPA),” the groups told the Senators. The groups referred to APHIS’ proposal to allow fresh Brazilian beef into the United States as “a radical and seemingly unjustified departure” from the disease protection measures that APHIS told Congress were necessary to prevent the introduction of FMD in a 2003 report. The groups want Congress to require APHIS to suspend consideration of its Brazilian rule until after the agency updates its 2003 Final Report for the Animal Disease Risk Assessment, Prevention, and Control Act of 2001. “This 2003 Final Report made clear that the more stringent disease protection protocols in place at the outset of the 21st Century were necessary to prevent the introduction of FMD into the United States,” the letter stated. Citing USDA trade reports indicating that the U.S. has been importing
fresh beef from China and fresh pork from Colombia, even though both countries are banned from exporting either beef or pork to the U.S. due to FMD, the groups are also asking Congress to conduct an immediate investigation to determine if U.S. import controls have already been undermined. To highlight the dire consequences of relaxing U.S. disease protections, the groups wrote: “The potential for FMD to devastate U.S. livestock production is paralleled by a new deadly virus now devastating U.S. hog producers: “PEDV” (Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea Virus). “PEDV was first identified in the U.S. in April 2013. In less than one year, PEDV has killed several million swine. PEDV is virtually 100 percent fatal for infected swine weighing less than 40 pounds. PEDV’s DNA traces back to origins in China, according to Wisconsin State Veterinarian Dr. Paul McGraw.” The bipartisan group of Senators that received the group’s request include Senator John Barrasso (R-WY), Senator Tim Johnson (D-SD), Senator Mike Enzi (RWY), Senator Jon Tester (D-MT), and Senator Heidi Heitkamp (D-ND).

have faced a similar situation and written about their decision. The quick answer may be premature if you can’t be sure you are all on the same page, however. Digging into the technical side with online scientists, doctors or lawyers could send you out to gather more data. You want to be able to ask questions that precisely fit your situation. Vision leads your ability to observe and record cattle phenotypes, behavior and readouts like scale weight and other measurements that may need further analysis. You can often calculate a few averages from your records. Averages are a key tool for decision making, but you have to recognize their limits. When you go

back to online resources, you can find lots of benchmark data, what cattlemen and cattle have done over time, on average. Look at the ranges when possible to show what is possible and how far you might fall short. You will also find several “calculators” that use average pounds, performance, conception rate and costs. Many of these will be out of date because markets and costs have been so volatile, but you should always study all default numbers when using these automated aids. Your banker knows all

about the averages, but it is your track record vs. those numbers that determine the fate of approval on a loan. You can often do better, but be realistic and base projections on logic and achievable goals. Some fields of cattle statistics are interesting, but may not be relevant to you because there are big differences in cattle and producers that are hard to measure in simple models. Beef specialists and economists have debated whether “preconditioning calves” is a net gain, but

Black Ink from A22 that question is best answered for each herd and operator, and it will depend on marketing plans. Others have noted statistics that say “retained ownership” of calves is a paying proposition most of the time, but that’s another case where the statistic means less than what you actually know about your calves. A single year’s information is not enough to go on, but you can start there and build relationships with
cattle feeders. Balance is the key to creating calves that make profit for everyone, and a Montana rancher recently compared that to a three-legged stool that rests on science, herd performance data and common sense. Seedstock suppliers, veterinarians and other professionals in the beef industry can join with your feeder and banker as unofficial but valuable consultants as you
build your own track record for more accurate decisions. The value of cattle that are at the top end for gain and grade ability may be hard to represent with most breakeven tools, which rarely offer more than a customized Choice/Select percentage and price spread. Feeding costs are basically the same for all, but the top Choice and Prime cattle earn many more dollars.
Beyond technical points, there’s philosophy and decision-making style that can’t be measured. You know what you stand for. You have motives and biases, memories of unintended consequences, and perhaps a tendency to resist change, especially with dollars on the line. A recent survey of U.S. commercial cow-calf producers shows that 40 percent spend less than $2,500 for bulls. At the TRACTORS
top end those who have reached some quality and performance goals sold finished, premium steers and heifers for more than $2,500 per head. Back at the other end, even though no DNAmarker test is available for less than $15, only 9 percent said they would consider using such a tool if it cost more than that. Have we checked the cattle market lately? Calf prices in January
were up $150/head over 2013, and that’s just an average to show why bull prices are higher this winter and spring. Those who improve genetics by keeping replacements and finishing their other calves can easily justify spending two or three times what has become salvage value. What would a bull be worth that could significantly improve your herd?

A View from Hickory Heights by Ann Swanson Danger in the kitchen The book about the Depression that I mentioned a couple weeks ago had many pictures as well as text. As I looked at some of the things that were featured and it made me think of Grandma’s old stove. That stove and I had a
history that is not soon to be forgotten. When you wanted to turn the oven on you had to spin the dial that set the temperature like the modern devices, but you also had to light a match to get the pilot light to ignite. Therein was the problem. You had to do

this process just right or you were in trouble. I experienced trouble more than once. If I left the gas on a little too long there was a sort of explosion. More than once the thing blew up in my face. My aunt had the same type of stove so when my cousin and I were cooking there we had to go through the same process. I remember one time when we singed some eyebrows. We had some explaining to do when my aunt got home from work. That night we had a beautiful cake for dessert, but our mishap was of concern to all. I am not exactly sure what happened after that, but that was the last time

that we singed anything. I loved Grandma’s stove in spite of the pilot light that had to be lit. When I think about it now I realize that the oven was rather small. If grandma put a turkey in the oven in her large roaster there was not room for anything else. Even though my oven is much larger, I have to admit that when I have a turkey baking there is not much room for anything else either in spite of the larger size. Grandma’s stove had a storage compartment next to the oven where she kept her baking supplies such as cookie pans and cupcake tins. The other thing I liked about grandma’s stove was that the broiler was

below the oven. It could be used independent of the oven. We often used the broiler for meat and sandwiches – with grandma’s supervision, of course. As I got older I became more adept at lighting the pilot light. I am sure that grandma was happy about that since I always chose to bake when she was not around. The reason that I baked when grandma was gone is that she had little patience with my baking technique. Grandma was a stickler for following a recipe to the letter. If the instructions said to put an ingredient first or to mix all of the dry ingredients she expected it done just as the recipe called for. I used less strict methods and still made them work. I still used grandma’s recipes but I put my own spin on them. Many of the recipes for baked goods that I have made my own began with my grandmother. While I learned to bake at my grandmother’s side, right from the get-go I began to make things on my own. Everyone always enjoyed what I baked so that was not a problem. Whatever I made did not go to waste. You might say that my love for baking began way back then. I never thought much about the ingredients. It was just what the baked goods were supposed to taste like. Grandma went through a period of time where she was diagnosed with diabetes. I
am not sure what happened after that, but I do not remember my grandmother living the rest of her life as a diabetic. We still had cookies for the holidays and I remember her purchasing Girl Scout cookies. My pantry is my favorite place. I have a Hoosier cupboard that I use for my baking. All of my pans and supplies are in there. If I need an egg I turn around and get one out of the refrigerator. My husband favored built in cupboards, but I won out on this one because he did not do any baking. I loved the old Hoosier cupboard so it stayed. There is a metal top that pulls out if you need more room. I pull it out when I roll out cookies and when I make bread. Back to the stove. Grandma’s stove was wider than the modern ones. She had only four gas burners, but there was a place to set something when you took it out of the oven. That was very helpful in my grandmother’s kitchen because the stove set off by itself. My grandparents were married for more than 60 years and that is the only stove that I remember grandma cooking on. I know they bought the house about 1920 so I assume the stove was purchased then. My greatgrandparents’ homes had stoves that ran with gas or with wood. While I knew what they looked like I never actually cooked on one of those. I had a new gas stove when we were in our trailer next to the farm. The pilot lights stayed on so I did not have to monkey with lighting them. The only bad thing was if something boiled over during the cooking process it drained down through the burner. I have used four stoves at Hickory Heights in the 40 some years that I lived here. My first stove here was a real old-fashioned wood burning stove complete with a warming oven and hot water reservoir. I actually cooked on that for six months and we did not starve.

Coffee Break Just Good Reading
Bye bye tractor by Conni Partridge Our new rescue dog Bud is learning the English language, one word at a time. We adopted the black Labrador retriever in June, 2013 and brought him home to our new startup farm in Esperance, NY. He already knew the words “No!”; “Come!” and “Stay!” He quickly learned “No kitty!” when he got in trouble for charging our cat Lil. But his favorite word is “Bye bye.” He always shows his joyful delight by doing a happy dance when he hears those words. They are music to his ears. He loved going bye bye in the small farm wagon with me as my husband Sam pulled us over our newly-purchased 68 acres using his Antique 1942 Farmall tractor. Then, he decided to let me drive, pulling a different trailer. This trailer has three plastic picnic chairs attached to it. The idea was to have our young apprentice Eric sit with the big dog on this trailer while I coursed over the hilly, bumpy terrain of our newlynamed property, Pear Tree Farm. Bud would have none of that trailer ride. He kept running out in front of the slowly-moving tractor, making me stop. He was determined to ride with me in the driver’s seat. Eric finally subdued the confused animal and held him in the trailer while I proceeded along the shale road to the top and rear of the property. On the way back, Bud leaped from Eric’s grip and I almost ran over him when he tried to find his way into my driver’s seat. Inspired by Bud’s actions, Sam built a doggy seat to
attach to the front of his Cultivision tractor. This vehicle is designed with the engine situated on one side, giving the farmer a clear view of the crops he is cultivating; hence, the portmanteau, “Cultivision.” The scheme worked! Sam attached removable railings to protect the dog from falling off, and painted the doggy seat red. We drove in the parades at the annual Antique Steam Show in Canandaigua, NY last August. Bud was a hit! Cameras were flashing, people were waving and smiling, and some even reached out for a quick caress. This friendly dog smiled back at everyone, gazing at them with those soulful amber eyes. The following week, I took Bud for a ride on our back acres just for fun. Suddenly, on a steep, uphill grade, I saw my poor dog dangling perilously, hind legs dragging the ground while he clung desperately with bearlike foreclaws to the floor of his doggy seat. He was wedged under the guardrail but was able to squirm out and land safely in the high weeds that flanked the rutted tractor path. He seemed happy enough, disappearing in the nearby brush, showing only his tail. I proceeded to the top and paused on the plateau to observe a 10-foot deep test hole Sam had dug with the excavator. To my dismay, Bud climbed down the incline, splashed about and even got a drink. “Oh my goodness! What if he gets stuck down there?” I asked myself aloud. “I hope he returns to the incline end. That cliff end is steep!” He headed for the cliff end and I cringed. Leaping like a gazelle from the steep hole, he shook himself vigorously and continued to browse among the wild foliage while I tractored back to the old farmhouse. Sam put a one-inch strip of wood around the edge of the doggy seat and installed a remnant of carpet on its floor for traction.

Coffee Break Just Good Reading
My perfect pesto patch by Elizabeth Weaver As I trek to the house from barn chores amidst swirling snowflakes I glance over at my dormant herb garden lying under a white blanket of snow. A few brown stalks show above the icy crust, but otherwise it shows no resemblance at all to the thriving, verdant green garden that it was in the summer…lacy caraway plants topped with white flowers, lush purple oregano blooms buzzing with bees, dusty lavender stalks against a blue sky, pungent purple basil soaking in the sunshine, interwoven with rock paths and flowers. I remember the day I took my carefully tended flat of annual herb seedlings that was started indoors in April and planted the tiny fragile
seedlings out into the big world, hoping they would survive. Well, they survived — and thrived as well. I had to begin finding ways to use them. Chopped parsley, basil, and chives added great flavor to pizzas and pasta, and I steeped cups of tea using mint, lavender, and hyssop. One day I decided to be adventurous and make herbal vinegar. I stuffed my abundant purple ruffles basil into a quart jar, poured boiled vinegar over top, put the lid on, and shook it once a day for a week. After the week was up, I opened the lid, strained out the basil leaves, took a sniff, wrinkled my nose and quickly put the lid back on! Oh well, at least it makes a nice decoration for the kitchen. Then one day I received a recipe for
“Perfect Pesto” from my herb gardening pen-pal in Missouri. Again, it was a good way to use the overabundant basil so I harvested a bowlful, and into the blender went basil, nuts, oil, cheese, salt and pepper, and garlic. Served over pasta it was pretty good and it added a nice flavor to meat. Over time, we grew to like it pretty well, and my dad especially enjoyed eating it for snacks with a variety of things like crackers, pizza, cottage cheese, and even just plain by the spoonful. Thinking about pesto has reminded me that my pesto patch down in the basement needs watering. Pesto Patch in the basement, you wonder? Yes, it’s my perfect pesto patch. When the supply of basil was no longer available, I decided to plant my own indoors. The seeds sprouted within a few days, and I transplanted them into larger pots. A long light overhead helps to keep their growth even, and now my tallest pesto plant is over 5 inches tall, and about ready for snipping. But that’s not all. I dreaded losing my eight varieties of sage and beautiful fennel plant, which had not matured to produce seeds yet. So yes, they’re indoors as well. Not all of the sage root cuttings made it, but I still have four that are living and the fennel plant, after almost looking dead, has sprouted out new growth.

So with careful tending and good success, we will have overwintered annuals to plant out this spring. I will also start seedlings indoors in April with seeds saved from last fall. But until then, it is nice to be assured of a good supply of pesto from my thriving pesto patch downstairs. Here is my Perfect Pesto recipe, for all who wish to try it: Perfect Pesto In food processor or blender blend together 2 cups basil, 4 garlic cloves, and 1 cup walnuts (or sunflower seeds). Add 1 cup olive or canola oil. Then add 1 cup parmesan cheese, plus salt and pepper. Blend until well ground and mixed. Store in a bowl in refrigerator and serve over pasta, or with meat. Enjoy!
Good Housekeeping Soda Bread This rich and tender rustic Irish quick bread is the ideal dinner companion for corned beef. 1/4 cup sugar 1 tablespoon baking powder 1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon baking soda 4 cups all-purpose flour 1/2 teaspoon all-purpose flour 6 tablespoons cold margarine or butter 1 cup golden or dark seedless raisins 1 1/2 cups buttermilk 1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease large cookie sheet. 2. In large bowl, combine sugar, baking powder, salt, baking soda and 4 cups flour. With pastry blender or 2 knives used scissor-fashion, cut in margarine or butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. With spoon, stir in raisins, then buttermilk just until evenly moistened. 3. With floured hand, gently knead dough in bowl a few times until dough forms a ball (do not overmix, or bread will be tough). Place dough on cookie sheet; shape into a 7-inch round loaf (dough will not be smooth). 4. Sprinkle loaf with remaining 1/2 teaspoon flour. With sharp knife, cut 4inch-long cross, about 1/4 inch deep, on top of loaf. Bake loaf 1 hour or until
toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool on wire rack. • Each serving: About 275 calories, 6g total fat (1g saturated), 1mg cholesterol, 485mg sodium, 49g total carbs, 2g dietary fiber, 6g protein.

Chenango County Holstein Club Recognition Banquet set March 23 The Chenango County (NY) Holstein Club Annual Recognition Banquet is scheduled for Sunday, March 23, at 1 p.m. This year’s Banquet will be held at the Norwich Grange Hall located at the intersection of County Route 32 and Hale Street Extension in Norwich, NY. Each year it is a privilege for the Officers and Directors of the Club to review the accomplishments that the organization has made in the past year and to inform the membership of what has taken place. This year there will again be recognition of those members who have achieved long term member status in the New York Holstein Association. There will be a review of the 2013 —
64th Chenango County Holstein Club Show and the 13th Annual Semen Sale. The Chenango Junior Holstein Members will also report on their 2013 activities. Each year, we look forward to having a Guest Speaker with a very special message. This year we are extremely fortunate that Horace A. Backus has agreed to be with us to share his extensive knowledge of Holstein Breed History. Horace, as most of you know, is considered “The Dean of Holstein Pedigrees”. He currently works with the Cattle Exchange as Pedigree Man, and, for many years, was a key element of the R. Austin Backus Sales Organization. Horace has asked us to keep this event
very informal and wants each of you to bring your questions on Holstein History for him to “fill in the blanks”. Reservations for the Banquet are due by Tuesday, March 18. For further information or to make Banquet reservations, please contact Bill Davidson at 607-6746211, or via email at willdale@frontier.com .

sound reasons for much of this difference. First is freight. Many of these cattle go to the major feeding areas in the Midwest.

17th Annual Lawn & Garden Auction Saturday, April 5, 2014 at Springfield Tractor located at the intersection of Rts 20 & 80, Springfield Center, NY

Prices from A11 ence is around $0.08 $0.10/pound. The question now becomes how we capture that difference. Analysis of the data shows that 67 percent of the cattle in the Fall 2013 sales brought $1.87/pound matching Cattle Fax data. The difference in these cattle is that they were uniform in weight, muscle and frame size, were preconditioned properly, were of known genetics and had a reputation with the buyers.
These cattle not only captured the true $0.10/pound difference but their quality and reputation covered the freight and Cattle Fax discount. New York has cattle that can compete on the national scale. Another fact that has been reported, but not fully explained is that on average preconditioned cattle only bring a $0.028/pound premium. On a 550 pound calf this is worth $15 which is about the breakeven cost

for the vaccines and dewormer. Admittedly this is not much of an incentive. The sale barn does their part by telling the buyers what the cattle had received relative to vaccinations. When a group of cattle come into the ring and it is announced that they received a killed vaccine the day before the sale, these cattle are not preconditioned. Vaccines take three to four weeks to deliver full immunity. Cattle receiving a killed vaccine must be vaccinated twice three to four weeks apart to achieve full immunity. Therefore the first killed vaccine must be given six to eight weeks and the second three to four weeks prior to the sale. Using a modified live vaccine (MLV) the day before the sale also is an issue. A MLV, while not requiring a booster can
cause disease. Cattle going through the market are stressed and given a MLV just prior to the stress event can actually be worse than administering no vaccine at all. Buyers know what works and cattle that are not preconditioned properly will not receive the premium compared to properly preconditioned cattle. A second factor affecting the value of pre-conditioned cattle this year is simply supply. Again, the sale barn's commitment to doing their part is demonstrated in that they sell all pre-conditioned cattle first. However if a buyer has an order that doesn't get filled with preconditioned cattle, he is forced to buy non-preconditioned cattle for more than he would like. As the supply

Taking these steps can move you into the top six to seven percent of the cattle that bring national prices. If more of these cattle came through the sale barn, the manager has a lot more to work with. After all, the auction manager can only sell what is delivered to the barn. It is up to the producer to do their part so the auction manager
can use his expertise to get you the highest price. For more information on this research contact Mike Baker at 607-255-5923 or mjb28@cornell.edu . (Appreciation is ex-

New York Farm Bureau outlines 2014 national priorities Immigration reform and Farm Bill implementation top the list Immigration reform is the number one national public policy priority for New York Farm Bureau. The farmer-approved
priority list was outlined during a press conference call with reporters. NYFB is working closely with our lawmakers in Washington, D.C. to advance a workable solution in Congress that ad-
dresses the agricultural labor needs in this state. A stable workforce is needed on our farms or else the rural economy and our local food supply will ultimately suffer. “It’s been said if we
don’t import our labor, then we import our food. At a time when more people are looking to eat local, it will be harder to fill that demand unless we see immigration reform that addresses our
needs,” said Dean Norton, President of New York Farm Bureau. NYFB supports efforts that will keep the workers who are already on our farms in this country legally. In some cases,
the employees have been working for years learning skills and contributing to our farm economy. In addition, we are looking for a flexible guest worker visa program to ensure a future legal workforce. Farmers are the main drivers of the rural economies in upstate New York and Long Island. Farm jobs spin off other work at the yogurt plants, equipment dealers and transportation companies, just to name a few. “We see what happens every year across the country as we get away from a sustainable workforce. We see crops being left on the trees and vegetables on the ground and that is billions of dollars being wasted that could be in our rural economies,” said Norton. Farm Bill: Also among the top priorities is ensuring proper implementation of the recently passed Farm Bill. While New York Farm Bureau is pleased to finally have a Farm Bill in place that addresses many of the diverse needs of New York farms, having it signed into law is only the half of it. New York Farm Bureau will be closely following the Farm Bill’s roll out over the next year as the USDA begins to put programs in place. One big change will be the new margin insurance program for dairy farmers slated to take effect in the fall. New York Farm Bureau will monitor the process so there is a smooth transition from the old Milk Income Loss Contract (MILC) program to the new safety net. New York Farm Bureau will also observe the enactment of new and enhanced programs for specialty crops in New York. In some cases, crops that never received adequate coverage will soon be protected if disaster strikes. “We will also make sure that the legislation is clear on the intent and is moved forward for the betterment of New York agriculture,” said Norton. Food Safety Regulations:

NYFB from B15 Agriculture is heavily regulated in this country so any time new rules or regulations are proposed, New York Farm Bureau reviews them to determine whether they are warranted and that they do not place additional burdens on our farms that they cannot afford. Many times, farms can’t simply pass on those higher costs to consumers. Instead, farmers eat those costs themselves, and this can undermine their ability to keep farming. Food safety is one example. Farmers already participate in a host of food safety programs and audits, but FDA is looking to institute new food safety rules for
fruits and vegetables. NYFB commented on the proposal in the fall and is waiting to hear how the FDA will address agriculture’s concerns. While safety is paramount on our farms, any rules must be based on sound science and have an actual public health benefit. For example, FDA has suggested that farmers only use irrigation water that meets the same standards as swimming pools and pay for more frequent testing of that water. “Swimming pool water and the standards that govern that have nothing to do whether or not the water is safe for food consumption. New York Farm Bureau is looking

for a standard that is based on actual science, and the result will be better, healthier communities,” said Kelly Young, NYFB’s Sr. Associate Director of National Affairs. New York Farm Bureau will continue to work with the FDA and fellow stakeholders so the final rules address the real risks that exist and can be successfully implemented on farms. In the end, both the public health and agriculture will benefit.
Food Donation Tax Credit: New York Farm Bureau will also be advocating for a number of reforms and programs that will help grow our farms. On the federal level, New York Farm Bureau would like to see legislation known as “The Good Samaritan Hunger Relief Tax Extension Act” that would extend permanently a tax benefit for farmers who donate food to local food banks. This would help offset the
costs of harvesting, packaging and transporting the food to the donation site. Corporations, like big box stores, currently receive a similar tax credit for food donations, and they are not the ones actually growing the food. “We think this will encourage greater donations from our farmers, and that it will also provide an important source of fresh, local produce to people who otherwise might not
have access to this type of food,” said Young. Rural Broadband: Rural economic development has always been a priority of New York Farm Bureau. By improving our infrastructure, it will assist farmers with some basic needs that help expand market opportunities. That infrastructure includes supporting enhanced rural broadband efforts.

Public Dairy Update Meeting set March 13 in Lowville, NY What’s ahead for milk prices and dairy livestock values? Those are two key topics at a
meeting for interested dairy farmers that’s scheduled for March 13 in Lowville, NY.
Pete Hardin, editor of The Milkweed, will detail why there’s plenty of room for optimism for farm milk prices and profits for the next couple years. Factors driving tight U.S. supply demand include: strong export demand, slowing milk production in the Upper Midwest, high cull cow prices, and the anticipated impact of California’s serious drought
on that state’s crops and milk flow. “I am optimistic that these dairy commodity values and resulting milk prices in early 2014 are for real — based upon overall strong supply/demand,” Hardin believes. He projects 2014 as one of the best years ever for dairy producers’ prices and appreciation of dairy livestock values. The dairy update
speech will be held at 8 p.m. on March 13 at the Ridgeview Inn — just west of Lowville on New York State Route 12. In the event of severe adverse weather, no make-
up date scheduled. In the event of questionable weather, go to The Milkweed’s website at for updates at : www.themilkweed.com
NYFB from B16 pect farmers to compete with other producers across the country and around the world if they don’t have the tools to identify trends, access research, and reach customers? There are still many places in upstate New York that rely on dial-up internet which can be slow and inefficient. High speed internet access is also a necessity as governmental agencies are requiring more farm documentation to be submitted electroni-
cally. It is unreasonable to make those requests if farmers don’t have the ability to effectively comply. New York Farm Bureau will be monitoring the appropriation of funding in this area to support the buildup of the infrastructure in New York. “There are rural areas all across New York that do not have rural broadband capabilities. If we are going to be efficient and successful, we need to make that happen,” said Norton.

Farm Disaster Preparation Certificate Program March 21, 2014; Farm Family, 344 Rte. 9W, Glenmont, NY The Farm Disaster Preparation Certificate workshop is directed to all sizes of farms and all
types of products. Dairy and livestock farms are especially encouraged to participate in the program due to their additional concerns regarding animal agriculture.
This informative workshop will be held on Friday, March 21, from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. at Farm Family, 344 Rte. 9W, Glenmont, NY. The cost of the workshop is
$35 per person. This 6-hour training program focuses on predisaster education and preparedness, covering key topics such as: • Farm equipment
safety on the road • Barn fire and structure collapse prevention • Minimizing storm damage, coping with power outages, and maintaining continuity
of farm operations during community disasters • Reducing criminal activity and stored chemical risks • Enhancing livestock handling and biosecurity. Participants are expected to complete all five sections, by listening to a presentation, participating in discussion questions, and making notes about what they intend to inspect and modify back on the farm. Participating farms should be better prepared to withstand a farm emergency with a higher level of resiliency. We expect this will lead to fewer overall insurance claims among participating farms, a safer and more secure food supply, and farm families that have a greater sense of readiness for unknown disasters. Several farm insurance companies in New York are acknowledging this program and will provide an incentive for farm owners to participate. Farms that complete the Farm Disaster Preparation Certificate training will receive a dated certificate to provide to their insurer. The certificate may be a condition of eligibility for receiving a more favorable farm insurance policy review or a discount on the farm’s annual insurance premium. The economic value of the recognition or discount will vary according to individual policies and policyholder circumstances. Space is limited. Please register by Tuesday, March 18. You may register by calling Gale Kohler at CCE of Albany County by calling her at 518-765-3579. You can also Email Gale at gek4@cornell.edu . The workshop is co-sponsored by CCE Capital Area Agricultural and Horticultural Program and Farm Family Insurance. You may register online as well by going to: https://reg.cce.cornell.edu/DisasterPrepMarch14_201 .

Grasstravaganza returns Grasstravaganza 2014 Pasture Soil Health
Creates Wealth - July 17-19, 2014 at Mor-
risville State College We are pleased to an-
nounce the return of Grasstravaganza! Many
graziers may remember the 2004 and 2008
events held in Binghamton, NY. Thanks to the USDA-Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), it is back again but with a new two-day format and an optional Thursday evening reception. Grasstravaganza 2014 will showcase a trifecta of great grazing and soil health experts: Ray Archuleta, the NRCS “Soil Guy” from North Carolina has been traveling the country promoting soil health and his videos have been featured in the NRCS National Soil Health Team’s eNewsletter at www.nrcs.usda.gov/wp s/portal/nrcs/main/n ational/soils/health . And building on Ray’s underlying theme; Jerry Brunetti of Agri-Dynamics who is known for the “Soil-To-PlantTo-Animal” health message and Jim Gerrish, former University of Missouri researcher, writer, and current cattle rancher and consultant from Idaho. There will be various trips to local farms which will be led by our soil health and grazing masters: Ray, Jerry and Jim. Mark your calendars now for the Grasstravaganza 2014. Event details and registration can be found online at http://grasstravaganza.morrisville.edu or by contacting Anne Orth at 315-684-6843. In addition, those interested in our vendor show, should contact Sarah Mazza at 315-684-6076 for more details.

& Accessibility Chronic Fatigue - a difficult condition on the farm Chronic fatigue is a very real and difficult diagnosis and/or condition to deal with, especially as a tradesman. Speaking personally as someone who struggles with chronic fatigue in combination with other symptoms, I can understand first-hand how it can directly affect your work. For years, before I had to stop working as a veterinarian, just to get through the day I had to stop numerous times throughout the day and rest — or even sleep. Without this, I wouldn’t have been able to work at all — and eventually even with that it reached a point to where I could

Barn fire safety by Erin Madden, NYCAMH Program Assistant, New York Center for Agricultural Medicine & Health (NYCAMH) Fire is a major hazard around the farm, espe-
cially barn fires. Fires can be started by electrical equipment, a chemical reaction, cigarettes and matches, sparks from machinery, or batteries and motors. Flammable materials are
everywhere on a farm especially in barns. Some examples of flammable materials are hay, straw, bedding, cobwebs, dust, paint, fertilizer and chemicals. Accelerants like gasoline, oil or aerosol cans make a fire spread faster. To be prepared and stay safe: • You must be able to detect a fire whether it’s by smoke, fire, or heat • Have smoke alarms in all barns. Test the alarms and change the
batteries every six months • Know where fire extinguishers are and how to operate them • Suppress the flame threat by either using a fire extinguisher or sprinkler system that has already been installed • Have a course of action in place if a fire is to occur. Practice routine fire drills • Clean up hazardous materials that can cause a fire
• Post emergency phone numbers and directions to the farm at every phone • Don’t leave heaters on unattended or plugged in when not in use • Keep doorways and aisle ways unobstructed • Prohibit smoking in any barn where loose hay, straw, wood shavings or other accelerants are present When a small fire breaks out, make sure everyone gets to safety
and call for help. You may be able to put it out with a fire extinguisher if you act quickly. To use one, just remember to PASS: Pull, Aim, Squeeze and Sweep. • Pull: Pull the pin at the top of the extinguisher. This lets you squeeze the handle to discharge it. • Aim: Don’t aim for the flames near the top of the fire. You must aim for the base of the fire.
continuing to work even when they shouldn’t. Obviously on the farm, the work must get done, so then we must do the work as efficiently as possible. The top five farm tools that I recommend to give your body rest are: 1) automatic wagon hitches 2) automatic drive through gates 3) remote camera and monitor 4) added tractor steps with handrails and 5) utility vehicles. Automatic wagon hitches and drivethrough gates allow you to stay in the driver seat
instead of climbing up and down the tractor steps. Quick hitches can save you two trips up and down the tractor steps every time you need to pull a silage or hay wagon. Automatic gates can save you four trips up and down the tractor steps every time you enter a feedlot with a round bale or feeder wagon. These two simple items will save you hours that would otherwise have been spent climbing steps! Added tractor steps and handrails make it easier on hips and knees
for when you do need to leave the tractor seat! Use a camera and monitor to see any place you would otherwise have to climb or walk... How full are your bins?... Is that heifer calving at midnight?... Who is that guy messing with the anhydrous tanks at 3 a.m.? Mount the camera in a hard-to see place, mount the monitor in the cab or other convenient location and watch with ease. Mobility vehicles like golf carts, lawnmowers or small utility vehicles simply reduce the number of steps you walk in
a day. Save your walking energy for doing necessary tasks, and use a vehicle to get around the farm. All five of these ideas save energy by reducing the steps you must take in a day, or making the steps you take easier. If you are dealing with the very real problem of Chronic Fatigue, call me, Pat Gaston, at 888-3543289 or visit DisabilityWorkTools.com . I’m happy to share helpful advice from my own experiences, or answer questions about how you can keep working safely.

Fatigue from C2 and joint pain. The main topic I want to touch on is the importance of being smart and protecting yourself and your coworkers. Even healthy individuals can make dangerous mistakes and errors while fatigued in the workplace or at home. It may seem like you need to push on through the fatigue to finish the job, but since many of
you work with tools and equipment that can seriously injure or even kill it just isn’t wise. As hard as it may be, you need to put down that tool and take a break. As a large animal veterinarian, some of the hardest working people I have ever met are farmers. They can also be some of the most stubborn people ever who insist on

Safety from C3 • Squeeze: Squeeze the handle to release the extinguishing agent. When you let go of the handle, the discharge stops. • Sweep: Using a sweeping motion, move the extinguisher back and forth from side to side to put the fire out. Always stay at a safe distance and don’t ever turn your back on a fire. If the fire starts to spread and get out of
control evacuate the area immediately and call the fire department if you haven’t done so already. Remember, fire can spread quickly. As part of our Farm Emergency Response Program, NYCAMH can provide farms in New York with free fire extinguisher training, available in English and Spanish. We continue to offer free on-farm safety
training and surveys as well. For more information, please contact me by calling 800-3437527, ext 300 or email erin.madden@bassett.or g . NYCAMH, a program of Bassett Healthcare Network, is enhancing agricultural and rural health by preventing and treating occupational injury and illness.

New Jersey State Agricultural Convention highlights Ag Convention: The 2014 New Jersey State Agricultural Convention and associated Trade Show was a large and well-coordinated undertaking for the breadth of New Jersey agriculture. It was the third year of colocating the annual state ag convention with the Vegetable Growers Association and Blueberry Association; this year was also joined by the Garden State Wine Growers, NJAES and the Grain and Forage Association. Among the highlights was the banquet speech by Lt. Gov. Kim Guadagno, who gave an energetic and engaging address to 490 guests saluting the state’s farmers and lauding the cabinet office role being played by Ag Secretary Doug Fisher. Also addressing convention delegates was Senate President Steve Sweeney, hit-
ting a positive chord with the ag industry audience when he voiced opposition to the idea of mandatory GMO-food labeling. Making a quiet presence on Wednesday were new Assembly members Robert Andrzejczak and Vince Mazzeo, the latter being a longtime produce retailer in Atlantic City who won a narrow victory in November over Republican John Amodeo. Among the leading policy resolutions discussed were the definition of “locally grown,” establishing stronger agriculture protections for beekeeping, and a vigorous debate about limited nonag business activities (“microenterprises”) on preserved farmland. Delegates adopted a concept for “locally grown” similar to the one used in Maryland, granting its status for any products
raised in the home state (New Jersey) along with the provision for using a nearby state’s name for out-of-state produce (i.e. “locally grown in New York” for apples sold in Bergen County but raised nearby in the Hudson Valley). More on ag convention: Additional comments on “listening sessions”… Ray Gilman from United Fresh Produce Association recommended that all farm operations adopt a contingency plan for a crisis management event on the farm, such as a product recall for fruit or vegetable growers. From the GMO Roundtable: Dr. Brad Hillman of NJAES said they support organic food labeling, but labeling something GMO gives no information. Kurt Alstede reported that retail farm market consumers seem
“hyped-up” about the GMO issue. John Rigolizzo said GMO is more involved with grain crops and not produce; GMO has actually been very helpful in grain production practices. The delegates requested that NJAES prepare an objective fact sheet explaining the use of GMO breeding techniques in food products. Convention appointments/awards: Delegates made several nominations to the governor that will also require Senate confirmation. Stepping down in July from the State Board of Ag will be Francisco Allende (fruit commodity) and Hugh McKittrick (nursery).

ing authorized Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP, formerly known as food stamps) vendors and information about obtaining the equipment needed to accept SNAP benefits. Up to $4 million in grants for equipment
will be available through Sept. 30, 2014 for those who qualify. As a one-stop-shop, MarketLink provides farmers and markets with information about wireless EBT equipment providers, wireless plans, USDA-approved
payment processors and their rates and terms, along with relevant links to become an authorized SNAP retailer and to determine eligibility for free EBT equipment. Source: Field & Fork: Madison County AED Newsletter - March, 2014.

Among the recipients of awards bestowed at the convention banquet … Steve Jany and Dr. Wesley Kline for Distinguished Service to Agriculture; Mitchell Jones for Outstanding Young Farmer, and Scott Ellis for Vegetable Grower of the Year. Rural microenterprises: A listening session at the Ag Convention was used to discuss the concept of rural microenterprise entities. Secretary Doug Fisher and SADC executive director Susan Payne gave an overview of the proposal and then took questions and comments. The revised concept under the proposed legislation would provide relief to preserved farmland owners that did not take an “exception area” on the premises and thus cannot operate non-agricultural
businesses. It would allow permits to be obtained from the SADC for certain “rural microenterprises.” Concerns were raised about which preserved farmland owners would be eligible to apply for the permits (only those who originally put the farm into the preservation program or their direct descendants/ subsequent landowners?), whether the non-ag uses must still get the necessary use variances and/or permits from the municipality (they must) and how the taxation of the land under newly created commercial enterprises would be impacted (land would no longer be farmland assessed if it is no longer actively devoted to agriculture). It was also noted that these enterprises would not be eligible for right to farm protection. The “Microenterprises on Preserved Farmland” resolution was subsequently approved. The resolution supports the passage of the proposed legislation, allowing for some adjustments to the bill’s language.

New Jersey Farm Bureau Focus Week ending Feb. 28 Governor Christiebudget issues: The governor released his budget proposal for the next fiscal year to a joint session of the legislature in the Statehouse. It calls for $34.4 billion in revenues and expenditures, and otherwise is a continuation of his frugal approach on taxation and state spending. He called his tenure “an era of fiscal restraint” and scolded his predecessors by saying “all of us are paying today for sins of the past.” The four percent growth in proposed spending over the current year goes largely to pension payments, health benefits and debt. Proposed appropriations for the Department of Agriculture are kept level with Fiscal Year 2014; the NJAES line item was not readily available to know whether there is any change from the current state line item of approximately $21 million. There was no mention at all by the governor in his message about open space funding. State legislation: Lots of activity in the Statehouse during this week. On Monday, Feb 24, the Assembly Ag Committee
took up two key forestryrelated bills: to expand protections for prescribed burning activities (A-1275), and to authorize DEP to work with the private forestry industry to conduct forest stewardship activities on state-owned lands (A1775). NJFB supports both measures as a means of enhancing forest health through active management. Also released was the bill to permit the sale of homebaked goods (A-1244), provided that the products are clearly labeled as such. NJFB is supportive of revising the protocols for kitchen inspections to make them more favorable for retail farm marketing situations, but has concerns with the bill as currently written… particularly because it would remove entirely any kitchen inspection requirement. Also on Monday, the Assembly Environment Committee released a resolution (AR-48) to urge the Governor to reenroll New Jersey in the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI), a regional cap-and-trade program that the Christie administration opted out of in 2011…
stating RGGI would have minimal effect on emissions and have disproportionate consumer energy price impacts. • On Thursday, Feb. 27, the latest attempt to impose a de facto ban on the use of gestation crates (S-998) was approved by the full Senate. NJFB agreed with the Governor’s veto of similar legislation last session, and continues to vigorously oppose any further attempt to bypass the Department of Agriculture’s duly authorized livestock care standards to referee the use of these crates. No corresponding action has been taken by the Assembly, but the companion legislation (A2500) has been introduced and referred to the Assembly Ag Committee where Farm Bureau hopes a critical, new look will be taken on the bill. State Board of Ag Meeting: Sec. Doug Fisher said publicly on Feb. 26 that Perdue Farms will sign a new lease and keep its current grain receiving depot in Bordentown open going forward. This news has been well received by grain farmers in Burling-
ton and surrounding counties. The Secretary said he was told to expect a formal announcement by Perdue that will follow later in the month of March. • Under New Business, the State Board approved a set of draft guidelines on farmland assessment regarding minimum qualifications for small farms. They will now be forwarded to the state Division of Taxation for its consideration. The guidelines were mandated in legislation sponsored by Sen. Jennifer Beck and signed into law last April. More on geese damage: There was additional attention being given to instances of farm field and crop damage caused by Canada geese during this winter season. Farm Bureau is responding to complaints it is receiving from member farmers about the issue with news alerts of its own. Sending in his own written testimonial to NJFB, farmer Robert Eckert said: “Help! These geese are cleaning me out of rye straw for baling long straw in May/June. They are eating the plants down to the roots; their feet ‘mat’ the area
down destroying the field. Crop insurance does NOT cover rye grass.” Wendy Anderson of the USDA-Wildlife Services local office says there are some things that farmers can do to help the situation… contact their office… at 908-735-5654 and ask for the operator. Note: federal waterfowl agencies report that New Jersey’s resident Canada geese population is approximately 77,000… but the “sustainable” level is only 40,000… farmers’ crops are a large source of feeding the surplus. Farmland leasing: The SADC and NOFA-NJ are sponsoring two leasing networking sessions for landowners and farmers on March 7 and 14. Each session will provide a brief overview of land leasing resources, followed by a networking opportunity for farmland owners and for farmers seeking access to land. The networking sessions will be supplemented by a NOFA-NJ workshop providing tips for performing a site evaluation of a farm. The locations: March 7 was at Duke Farms in Hillsborough, NJ, and
March 14 will be at the Ware Agricultural Building (RCE of Salem Co.) in Woodstown, NJ. The program runs from 3-6 p.m.; the site evaluation workshop is 3-5 p.m. and the networking session is 5-6 p.m. Contact either the SADC at 609984-2504 or NOFA-NJ at 908-371-1111. Annie’s Project New Jersey: On Saturday, March 22, a one-day seminar entitled “Production Strategies for Increased Profits” will be held at the Rutgers EcoComplex in Bordentown, NJ. The seminar will include production strategies like: crop insurance, food safety, cultural control of vegetable diseases, vegetable IPM, farm business finances, draft of a production plan. Following the program, there will be a tour of the EcoComplex greenhouses by Dave Specca that will include a look at orchid production, living walls and a greenhouse basil operation. The program runs from 10 a.m.-5:30 p.m. and will cost $25 including lunch. Call or email Dana Tyndall at RCE of Cape May County at 609-465-5115 x 607 or dtyndall@ co.cape-may.nj.us for further details.
CattleFax projections include improved weather conditions and record prices Cattlemen and women gathered at the 2014 Cattle Industry Convention and National Cattlemen’s Beef Association Trade Show to hear CattleFax market analysts’ projections for the year ahead. Creighton University Professor Emeritus Art Douglas told the audience he expects improved moisture conditions in the majority of the United States, including improvements of the drought-affected areas of the west coast. As precipitation returns back to more normal levels for the 2014 growing season, CattleFax predicts farmers in the U.S. should grow an adequate corn crop to build the carry over supply. The improved corn supplies should assure lower corn/input costs over the next 12-24 months, according to CattleFax Grain Market
Analyst Mike Murphy. “The lower input cost will have a direct correlation to improved feeder cattle and calf values in 2014 and with continued help from Mother Nature, we will be in better shape with regard to hay supply and prices moving forward,” Murphy said. Global Market Specialist Brett Stuart indicated that beef exports are expected to be near even in 2014 with record high prices being the limiting factor. At the same time, expectations are for beef imports to be near even, despite the need for 90 percent trim due to the expected lower non-fed slaughter rates in the U.S. The driving factor for stagnant imports is the growth of China demand for global beef which will continue to divert beef from Australia into the China
market and away from the U.S. market. CattleFax Senior Analyst Kevin Good indicated the combination of improved moisture conditions resulting in lower input costs and record high calf values should lead to beef cow herd expansion beginning in 2014. Beef production in the U.S. will fall, with percapita supply declining 4.5 percent. However, he said the pork and poultry supplies are expected to increase, leaving total meat supplies near even. CattleFax projects the Retail Beef Demand Index will improve by one percent due to continued modest economic growth. “As we think about our consumers today, not only domestically but globally, they’re a lot more diverse than they have been in past,” Good said. “We’ve got different
customers with different preferences and different pockets books.” Good said because of the continued tighter feeder cattle supply, the margin segments of the beef production system, both feed yards and packers, will struggle with excess capacity. Look for continued closure of both packing and feeding entities over the next 12-24 months. Prices are expected to average $135 compared to $126 during 2013, an increase of seven percent. Yearling prices are expected to average $168, an increase of 13 percent from the 2013 average of $146. According to Good, calf prices will average $193, up 13 percent from last year’s average of $168. “After years of tightening supplies, the cowcalf sector will again remain in the driver’s seat
during 2014,” Good said. CattleFax CEO Randy Blach summarized the year ahead by saying almost all segments of the production chain will be profitable, although margin operators will continue to face challenges over the next few years. Blach remains optimistic for the long-term cattle industry as the profit incentives will result in a larger U.S. cattle herd over the next five years, creating business opportunities for those willing to adapt to a dynamic and changing business environment. “You can start to see the globalization of the protein markets from the 1990s on,” Blach said. “We have the most efficient production system in the world and we are the largest exporter of protein onto the global market.”

Evaluating small grains for winter injury by Bill Verbeten The late fall planting dates combined with the
extreme cold this winter have made winter injury a real possibility for a
number of small grain crops grown in northwestern New York. Areas where there was little-tono snow cover during the
cold spells have the highest risk of crop loss. Good planting practices can go a long way to reduce the risk of winterkill
to barley, wheat, triticale, spelt, and rye but the weather also plays a large role in the winter survival of these crops.
Effects of management Shallow planting depths (less than one

Grains from C10 inch) lead to shallow crown development. These plants may literally be “thrown” out of the soil as the field freezes and thaws. Planting with a drill usually eliminates this risk. However shallower planted small
grains can develop an adequate root system if planted early in the fall (usually September in our region). Some varieties and some small grain species are more susceptible to winterkill than others. Rye is the

most hardy winter small grain, followed by triticale, wheat, spelt, and finally barley. Placing phosphorous fertilizer with the small grain seed, having adequate amounts of other nutrients, and the proper soil
pH also increases winter hardiness and yield. Parts of the field that are lower and wetter will have poorer stands than the better drained areas. Damage from ice sheeting is also common in low, wet areas. If the

into winter. If the top growth is greater than six to eight inches there is an increased risk of snow mold killing the small grain as it smothers itself under the snow. Effects of weather When the fall temperatures quickly drop-off to the teens or lower from above 40-50 degrees F, small grains are at a higher risk of winter injury than years where the change in air temperatures are more gradual. Most areas in northwestern New York had a gradual change in fall temperatures, but some pockets saw the temperatures fall quickly. During the winter, snow cover and soil moisture are critical to keep the soil temperatures warm enough to protect the crowns of small grains. When temperatures are minus 10 degrees F or colder and there is no snow cover winterkill risk of small grains increases. Many areas in our region, especially east of Rochester, experienced these conditions this winter. Fields that had even an inch or two of snow are at much lower risk of sustaining damage to the small grain crowns. Soil temperatures increase with deeper soil depths — fields drilled at 1-1.5 inches will have deeper crowns (at warmer temperatures) than small grain fields that were broadcast and packed into the upper 0.5 inch of the soil. The soils in New York generally have adequate moisture in the winter to reduce the risk of injury to small grains compared to the drier soil conditions of the Great Plains. However high winds, in combination with low temperatures and little snow cover, can also cause significant damage to small grains from drying out the plants and damaging vascular tissue despite higher soil moisture levels. Evaluation of small grain crops An easy way to test for winter damage in small grains is to bring in a few plants from each field, place them in pots and watch them. If the plants do not green up after a week with warm temps and water, they are dead.

Vilsack makes statement on the proposed FY 2015 budget On March 4, Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack made the following statement on the proposed FY 2015 budget: “The President’s 2015 USDA budget proposal achieves reform and results for the American taxpayer; fosters opportunity for the men and women living, working and raising families in rural America; and supports innovation through strategic, future-focused investments. The budget focuses on creating jobs and building a foundation for future economic growth, particularly in rural America, where 85 percent of our nation’s persistent poverty counties are located. It supports farmers, ranchers and growers as they achieve net farm income well above the average of the previous decade. Mid-sized farms and livestock producers continue to face challenges as a result of pro-
longed drought. We are hopeful that implementation of the 2014 Farm Bill, which restores disaster assistance and invests in programs to help beginning, small and socially disadvantaged farmers and ranchers, will provide much-needed stability for producers moving forward. To support hardworking Americans as they find and keep jobs and transition out of nutrition assistance programs, we have invested in programs that will build the skills they need to get back into the workforce. The budget continues to fund programs that, since 2009, have helped more than 800,000 families buy, repair or refinance a home; extended new or improved broadband service for more than 7 million Americans and 364,000 rural businesses; improved or constructed more than 90,000 miles of electric
line; invested in 6,700 water and wastewater projects for nearly 20 million Americans; and provided grants and loans to assist nearly 75,000 rural small and mid-sized businesses in rural America, creating or saving more than 377,000 jobs. To help America’s producers break into new exports markets for farm and ranch products, and building off of President Obama’s recently announced Made in Rural America export initiative, we will continue funding for trade promotion and market expansion. Last fiscal year, farm and ranch exports reached a record $141 billion and supported nearly one million American jobs. Here at home, we continue to capitalize on nearly limitless opportunities to use what is grown and raised on our farms and ranches in innovative and unexpected ways. Supported by the
recently signed 2014 Farm Bill, the budget makes targeted investments in biobased product manufacturing, local and regional food systems, and specialty crops and organic production. Building on historic efforts underway across rural America, the budget adds about 23 million acres of land to USDA conservation efforts and sustains 25 million acres enrolled in the Conservation Reserve Program, ensuring clean air, clean and abundant water and critical wildlife habitat for generations to come. The budget also proposes a new approach to wild land fire suppression, which will allow the Forest Service to stabilize and invest in programs that more effectively restore forested landscapes and support those living in communities impacted by wildfire to avert and minimize damage from future
wildfires. The 2015 budget makes strategic investments that further innovation and encourage creative approaches to solving rural America’s most pressing challenges. The budget provides increased funding of $325 million for our premier competitive grants program to support the cutting edge research that will help producers adapt and succeed in the face of modern challenges, including a changing climate. It also provides $25 million each to three public-private innovation institutes that focus on biobased product manufacturing, pollinator health, and anti-microbial resistance research, respectively. At the same time, the 2015 budget recognizes fiscal realities. It supports USDA’s ongoing efforts to modernize and update the way we do business. It builds off of
our efforts through the Blueprint for Stronger Service, which in recent years has saved the American taxpayer a total of $1.2 billion while ensuring that USDA customers receive the best possible service. Our leaner workforce continues to find ways to implement increasingly complex programs with fewer resources. The security of our nation’s food and fiber supply depends on what we do today to support a rural America that is increasingly nimble, diverse and responsive to changing consumer tastes. The 2015 budget proposal, and the tools provided in the new farm bill, will help to create jobs and drive long-term, sustainable economic growth in rural America, while equipping our farmers and ranchers with the tools they need to survive and thrive.
Straightbred makes a move A comprehensive BEEF Magazine survey shows more commercial producers are enjoying the value-added benefits of straightbred genetics. The makeup of the nation’s cow herd continues to move toward highpercentage or straightbred British genetics — that’s according to a new producer survey, out this month in the pages of BEEF Magazine. The survey, which includes 839 responses, showed the percentage of producers classifying their herds as high-percentage or straightbred British increased from
47.4 percent in 2010 to 51.3 percent in 2014. And Angus continues to enjoy a sizeable market share among America’s ranchers. Nearly 67 percent of respondents reported the last bull they purchased was Angus, and nearly 87 percent said they do not plan to shift the genetic makeup of their cow herd in the next five years. Of those who do plan to change genetics, 51 percent say they plan to increase the percentage of British genetics. “One of the take-home conclusions of this survey is that the commit-
Grains from C11 If the small grain greens up a little, but then slowly dies back there is damage to the xylem and phloem. These tissues move the water and plant sugars through the crop similar to how veins and arteries work in animals. Extremely cold temperatures, especially with high winds, can fracture the crop’s vascular tissues, much like breaking a straw, which leads to a slow plant
death. If the crowns are white then they are not damaged, but brown crowns will not recover, Figure 2.

ment of its respondents to the genetic makeup of their cow herd is rising, with a smaller percentage willing to change than in 2010,” says Bryce Schumann, chief executive officer for the American Angus Association®. “This points to the increasing strength of a quality-driven market and the marketing advantage that Angus genetics provide in a value-based marketplace. In other words, producers are saying, if they’re going to make a change, then the majority of them are going to add more Angus.” Much of the shift toward straightbred genetics is being driven by market premiums for
cattle that earn the Certified Angus Beef ® (CAB®) brand trademark. Results from a recently concluded biennial survey of CAB-licensed packers in January shows CAB grid premiums rose to $47 million in 2013 — more than double the $22.9 million paid in 2010. Kansas State University research also shows demand for Certified Angus Beef brand product is up by nearly 80 percent since 2005 — and CAB has continued to set sales records for each of the last seven years, selling 865 million pounds of product last year alone. Don Schiefelbein, whose family operates
Schiefelbein Farms at Kimball, MN, agrees the past few years have seen a dramatic change in the realm of genetic possibilities. The farm buys calves from bull customers and finishes 20,000 head per year to sell on a grid. “Making cattle that do 85 percent or 90 percent, even 100 percent CAB was unheard of just five or six years ago,” he says. When they do, as a fair number of loads did last year, the breakeven equations go out the window. “Say you have two steers and one makes CAB and one doesn’t,” Schiefelbein says. “It costs nothing more for the one that earned the premium — it’s all extra
dividend, added value built in. That’s why breakevens mean nothing when you try to factor in 80 percent CAB.” The BEEF Magazine survey also noted strong advances in the use of DNA technology, something producers are using to pinpoint economically important traits and improve the quality and consistency of their cow herds. According to the survey, the percentage of producers using genomic data to select bulls jumped from about 30 percent in 2010 to nearly 39 percent in 2014.
