The man behind the famous steak by Troy Bishopp EARLVILLE NY — When Mark Schatzker, author of Steak — One Man’s Search for the World’s Tastiest Piece of Beef, tasted Angus Ruadh Mackay’s purebred Highland ribeye steak and commented it was the most flavorful, juiciest and tenderest steak he’d ever eaten and an Aplus eating experience of the world, it forever catapulted the Isle of Mull, Scotsman into rock-star status. The irony of the famous tasting heard round the world was that the Coirefuar Fold cattleman wasn’t even around due to being on summer vacation. The secret revelation was kept locked up in the book till its 2010 release and took Mackay by surprise as his longtime friend from the states, Jacquelyn Chotkowski of Elmira, NY, called to say, “You’re famous.” My experience in meeting Angus Mackay was the equivalent to seeing an old friend. The first farmer handshake indicated he was no slouching meat snob as his calloused, rugged hand engulfed mine and a wry smile appeared followed by the quintessential Scottish salutation, ‘Aye.’ This opportunity to meet the man behind the steak came about because he was in the states giving a presentation and judging steak quality at the National American Highland Association’s Convention in Ithaca, NY. As luck would have it, he is also friends with fellow Highland cattle breeders, William and Stephanie Lipsey of
Drover Hill Farm in Earlville, NY and Jackie Chotkowski of Spring Flight Farm in Elmira, NY, who invited me to have lunch (awesome burgers of course) with the Highland storyteller. He didn’t mince words about what it takes to produce an outstanding piece of meat — time, low stress animal handling, proper processing and patience. He said, “If you want to produce a product of the highest quality, consistently, year after year, you cannot trade off the time and maturing aspect if you want something fit to eat or drink with flavors reminiscent of local food systems.” It was this beefier flavor profile of a more mature animal grown on the native ryegrasses and clovers of Moncrieff Hill in Scotland that drew Mark Schatzker clear across the ocean. “I tell customers at the farmer’s market a story about how we raise it, where we raise it and the genetics used from animals dating back to 1861. People like the sincerity and connection to the landscape and the farm. I also use this to teach children where their food comes from while demonstrating soil and water quality principles. My success really starts with these ingredients,” emphasized Angus. The cow-calf and finishing herds are kept on separate folds (paddocks). The best grass goes to the youngest and finishing animals plus a small amount of homegrown barley mix. The herds are set-stocked and also rotated with

Calf Wise: Cornell nutritionist offers findings at dairy management conference Dr. Mike Van Amburgh of Cornell University presented his findings regarding calf nutrition influences at the 10th Annual Western Dairy Management Conference earlier this year. His presentation revolved around the concept that if you treat your dairy cattle well as baby calves, they will treat you well as cows. Everett, Karzses, Soberon, Van Amburgh: Taking the long view: treat them nice as babies and they will be better adults; Proc. 10th Western Dairy Management Conference. Pp. 141-158. • Effect of early life nutrient restriction are difficult for calves to overcome as they mature. • Van Amburgh referenced studies that have found pre-weaning calf nutrition and
management can yield three to five times more milk than genetic selection per lactation. Throughout the dairy industry more data is emerging that suggests early life nutrient intake has long-term impacts on productivity. (Id. at pp.150). • The effect of growth rate and thus nutrient intake prior to weaning had a more direct and significant effect on milk yield than genetic selection for production (Id. at pp.150). Van Amburgh reported than on average for each pound of average daily gain before weaning, ended up in a 706-pound increase on first lactation milk yield. (Id. at pp.149). Management advice Producers should not feed hay to calves less than 12 weeks of age, and there are several good reasons why.
• Hay is bulky and high in fiber and thus fills the gut with lower nutrient available feed sources, such as milk and starter. Calves need these nutrients for healthy growth. • The first six months of a calf’s life are the most rapid and critical growth stages of its life. Highly available sources of protein and energy are more important than can be digested through fiber-rich diets of hay and grass. • A calf’s rumen develops over the first six months of age, and it typically takes this long for healthy rumen papillae to develop for maximum nutrient absorption. Tip of the month Land O’Lakes Purina Feed Calf and Heifer Specialist, Christie Stanley, recommends that producers use ammonia
badges, in conjunction with an air quality machine, throughout their calf facilities to assist in detecting ammonia-ridden areas or suspected locations of poor ventilation. Here are a few things to remember when using ammonia badges: • These tools are effective at identifying where air movement is poor and ammonia levels are high. • The badges can help producers in assessing their calf-housing ventilation to then derive a plan utilizing ventilation management practices to increase air movement. • Ammonia badges should be checked regularly — with the maximum time exposure being 16 hours after they are put in place. Be sure you don’t forget where you put them!
by Jon M. Casey For the second year, the All-American Certified Angus Beef® (CAB®) Cook-Off took place in conjunction with the AllAmerican Certified Angus Beef® Chef’s Challenge at the National Junior Angus Show (NJAS), July 12 during the National Junior Angus Show that was held July 10-16 in Harrisburg, PA. The Challenge is modeled after Food Network’s cooking competition “Iron Chef.” It featured
two age divisions: adults 21 and older, and National Junior Angus Association (NJAA) members, ages 18-21. The seven contestants who had entered this year, came from as far as Texas and Nebraska. They had 90 minutes to prepare and serve an original recipe using Skirt Steaks, a cut specified by CAB Chef Mike Ollier the evening before the event. Two other ingredients blackberries and corn meal were an-
nounced the day prior to competition. Lorelei Irons, of Bethesda, MD, the winner in the Senior Division, said she had entered the competition because she wanted to be an example to her children. She said that over the years, she had encouraged them to enter various competitions in 4-H and FFA, and while they had done so, she had never competed herself. This was her first attempt at a competition of

this kind. Her thin sliced, grilled, marinated beef served with corncakes and berry topping, proved to be a hit with the judges. Second-place winners, Rachel and Gretchen Frost, a mother-daughter team from south-central Illinois, served a breaded, fried treat that was served with polenta and a berry glaze. Morgan Smith and Tammy Williams from Vidalia Onion country near Milan, GA, served grilled steak with a Vidalia Onion casserole, topped with a blackberry glaze. The winner in the Junior Division, Texan Katy Satree, won with a Fajita Fiesta Salad served with a red pepper corn loaf. Runners up in the Junior Division, Jessica Clark and Ethan Whiteside, both Maryland residents, offered a grilled steak
entre with hollandaise sauce. Other competitors in the Senior Division included Kristi Sweeney and Kathy Wilson, entrants from Indiana and Dru Uden, a Nebraska native. During the course of the competition, CAB Corporate Chef, Michael Ollier expressed his surprise that none of the competitors chose to make fajitas, the most common meal prepared with this cut of meat. “In the southwest, this is the most popular cut of beef,” he said. “There, this is used as the primary cut of beef in fajitas. I’m surprised that no one here today decided to make them.” Ollier said he chose the Skirt Steak as the cut for the competition because it is a beef cut that is not widely used throughout

the U.S. and there are not many recipes that call for the skirt steak to be used. He said that he was looking for other ways to serve this cut, other than as the meat in a fajita. He was pleasantly surprised with the contestants creations. The first-place entry in each division of the Chef’s Challenge won a Certified Angus Beef® logo jacket and a $100 cash prize. The Challenge is set up to attract competitors more focused on the cooking process rather than the presentation, said Anne Patton Schubert, co-coordinator of the Chef’s Challenge and Cook-Off competitions conducted by the American Angus Auxiliary. “The competitors are extremely creative because they do not know what they are cooking until 24 hours before the competition,” said Patton Schubert. She said the Chef’s Challenge complements the long-held Cook-Off tradition combining creativity and quality Angus beef. The Cook-Off began in 1983 to give youth additional experience with the product they raise — beef. “It was [created] to help competitors become comfortable talking about the beef product,” Patton said. “When you see the juniors at the Cook-Off, they are having fun.” The Cook-Off and Chef’s Challenge serves as a stepping-stone, said Anne Lampe, co-chairman of the Auxiliary’s Beef Education Committee. “It is a training program for people to learn how to promote beef in their community or home states.”

Clear Echo Farm by Katie Navarra For 144 years, Clear Echo Farm in Schuylerville, NY, has been owned and operated by the Peck family. Kevin and his wife Carrie, are continuing the family’s legacy as fifth generation owners of the dairy operation. Legend has it that Clear Echo Farm was founded by Kevin’s great-great grandfather, Henry when he “walked across the field (from his family’s farm, which is still in operation today) with a sack of gold and bought what is now Clear Echo Farm,” Kevin said, “if you go out where I live and yell, there is actually an echo, which is how the farm got its name.” When Kevin graduated from Cornell in 1991 he joined his father, Larry, on the farm. At the time they were milking 110 cows. “My father and I decided we wanted to expand the herd,” he explained, “but to go from 110 to 120 cows would have generated more expenses than profits.” They decided to more than double the herd to a total of 250 cows. Herd expansion continued in the following years and today, the herd totals 500 milking cows and 50 dry cows. The three times a day milking schedule produces 42,000 pounds of milk each day. Since returning to the farm, Kevin is driven to implement management practices that are good for the cows. Prior to 2009, the cows were bedded on mattresses filled with ground tire rubber. Alley scrapers and a gravity flow manure system kept the aisles clean. “It was hard on the cows. We had a registered herd that had swollen hocks,” he explained. He removed the rubber filled mattresses and replaced them with water beds in each stall to provide extra

cushion for the cows and eliminate the swollen hocks. Looking for input on efficient management practices, Clear Echo Farm hosted the Northeast Dairy Challenge. “A year and a half ago, we hosted the Northeast Dairy Challenge,” he said, “the event is a management contest on all aspects of a dairy farm.” College students from all over the northeast gathered at the farm. The teams of students spent a day at the farm interviewing

Kevin touring the farm. Then the students went back to the hotel and worked up an analysis and put together a presentation. “Every group of students said that our transition barn needed work.” Following the students advice, Kevin built a transition barn which includes a place for fresh cows and cows that are drying off. Individual box stalls are available for sick or calving cows. A mock show arena was also included in the same area to give Kevin a place to clean, clip and show off cows to prospective buyers. While Kevin takes pride in his facility and strives for efficiency, he is most proud of his work with embryo transfer calves. “Our goal is to have a lot of top bulls and heifers in the country,” Kevin said. He breeds for cows with a medium build for specific management related traits. “The 62” cow that you take to the fair to show and to win does not survive well in the free stall commercial herd operation.” Through embryo transfer Kevin breeds for health traits, culling cows that do not have mastitis, calving issues or other health complications. Embryo transfers have become a big part of Clear Echo Farms’ operation. His cow Ramos 1200, out of the Racer family, has been producing elite cows with top notch genomics. “Last year our calf was the highest selling at the national sale,” he boasted, “it was out of Man-O-Man and Ramos 1200.” Kevin has high hopes for a sister calf headed for the 2011 sale. Each year 30-35 bulls that pass stringent genomic standards are sold to outside groups. “We always have groups of people in to look at the elite cows. Last week we had a group from Japan and next week we have a group from Germany coming in.” “All that we are doing now I have to
give my father credit for because he started the foundation,” Kevin explained, “it takes years to build a family (of top cows). Building an elite group of cows takes generations to get to that point.” While Embryo Transfer is an important piece to the business of Clear Echo Farm, they are looking to the future. “Embryo Transfer can only be done every two months. But IVF can be done every two weeks,” he said. Honored for their dedication to breeding top quality cows, both Kevin and his father have been recognized as New York State Master Breeders. “My father won New York State Master Breeder and about four years ago Carrie and I got Young Master Breeder,” he said. The farm has also been listed in the Progressive Breeder registry for 17-18 years. Through the years, Clear Echo Farm has been honored with a number of industry honors. The farm was given the Century Farm Award for having been in business more than 100 years and has been recognized as a Dairy of Distinction for more than 20 years. Maintaining a 550 head herd has its challenges. Finding land to grow the necessary 500 acres of corn and 75 acres of alfalfa is harder than it used to be. “I’m crossing the river to find land. Up until a few years ago Saratoga farmers stayed in Saratoga and Washington County farmers stayed in Washington County. That’s not the case anymore,” he commented. Will Kevin’s sons become sixth generation owners of Clear Echo Farm? At 10 and 7 it is still too soon to know. “My one son loves to ride in the tractor with me while I am working the fields. And my other son says it is boring after two passes,” Kevin smiled. For now, both are still learning the ropes of a dairy farm from their dad.

Submitted by Wendy Baker, Co-Chairman Capital District Canton Show Rain poured. Lightning flashed. Thunder crashed. Fire sirens blew. But none of that even slowed down the 2011 New York Capital District Canton Brown Swiss Show, held Tuesday, July 26, at the Schaghticoke Fairgrounds in Rensselaer County. Now in its fourth year, the Canton Show has doubled its entries to 95 quality Brown Swiss from 20 farms in five eastern New York counties and two states. The Capital District Canton, the eastern-most District of the New York Brown Swiss Association comprised of 13 counties, hosts the annual show in cooperation with the TriCounty Holstein Club, its mission to bring Swiss breeders together in a Capital District setting, showcasing the quality Brown Swiss bred and owned in New York and neighboring states, giving breeders a marketing opportunity to display quality Swiss for breeders of other breeds and our own, and build comeraderie and friendships within the breed. The day started with a combined Junior Showmanship competition between 50 young show men and ladies, ages 6 to 21 from the Tri-County Holstein Club and the Capital District Canton. Two outstanding showmen from each of five classes of Novice showman and more experienced Juniors, divided by age, then worked their animals to vie for the coveted Master Showman Award. Champions from each class were awarded show halters, but the Master Showman rosette was awarded to a Brown Swiss handler this year, the 14 and 15 year old Class Champion, Michael Barton. Mikey, of Elite Dairy in Copake, NY, showed advanced poise and professionalism in the fitting and handling of his heifer, never waivering throughout the morning and impressing the judge. Other Brown Swiss competitors placed respectably in their classes. Following Mikey’s crowning, Swiss breeders gathered for a picnic on the grounds, sharing farm and show stories,
and taking a breather before the breed show began. Jerry Harkness, the newly elected National Brown Swiss Board Director from District 1, which includes New York was introduced, and he shared a message from the national level. At two-o’clock sharp, 15 Junior Heifer calves entered the ring, kicking off the biggest Canton show held so far. Judging the shows was Jeff Stephens of Troy, Ontario, Canada. Jeff, his wife Connie, daughters and Jeff’s parents, John and Marilyn Stephens, farm under the Yellow Briar prefix, breeder of Ayrshires, Jerseys and Holsteins. Topping the calf anf heifer classes were: Junior Heifer Calf - CUTTING EDGE T DEBRA, Michael Barton - Elite Dairy, Copake, NY; Intermediate Heifer Calf CUTTING EDGE P SHERRY, Kyle Barton - Elite Dairy; Senior Heifer Calf CUTTING EDGE PS ADDOS ET, Michael Barton - Elite Dairy; Summer Yearling - HILLS VALLEY DYNASTY CRYPTON, Matthew Korona - Korona Extra, Amsterdam, NY; Junior Yearling - CIE BUTTONS AGENDA LINNET, Kaylah Gulley Classy Creek Farm, Greenwich, NY; Intermediate Yearling - CUTTING EDGE SECRET DEE, Kyle Barton, Elite Dairy; and Senior Yearling HILLS VALLEY CHOICE CRISIS, Tonya Clark, Clark Family Farm, Cambridge, NY. Winner of the Junior Best Three Females class was an entry from Elite Dairy. Mikey Barton’s Power Surge Senior Heifer Calf, CUTTING EDGE PS ADDOS ET was named Junior Champion, with Kyle Barton’s Secret Intermediate Yearling, CUTTING EDGE SECRET DEE being given Reserve Champion Honors. Dry cow classes followed with BOILINGBROOK ZEUS BETSY owned by Steve and Rachel MacNeil, Boilingbrook Farm, Hoosick Falls, NY, taking first in the 3 & 4 Year Old Dry Cow class and SUNMADE GARBRO LA PIXEL ET shown by Tammy Thomas of Odd Duck Farm, Greenwich, NY, as winner of the Aged Dry Cows.

Crop Comments by Paris Reidhead Field Crops Consultant Sorghum on a roll On July 19, I borrowed a PTO-operated spinner from one customer to use in planting a bag of sorghum on the farm where I’m boarding some steers. Since last July I’ve had some steers on this second customer’s farm. I’ve donated mineral, salt, some grain, and hay during the past winter in support of my three animals and his five. In January I moved one of my steers [who had graduation day (how’s that for a euphemism?)]. The landowner and I wanted to take pressure off our winter feed supply; plus Sue and I and some of her relatives were running low on freezer beef. Early last month the landowner and I decided to ship one each of our beef steers, mine an Angus, and his a black-and-white Jersey/Holstein cross. He had recently acquired four more animals of an heirloom European breed, so pasture-grazing pressure… compounded by a recent dry spell… had become an issue. To further alleviate grazing pressure, he and I planned to plant one acre of sorghum for summer grazing. We were hoping to plant this summer annual in late June or early July, but kept getting rained out… not much rain, but enough to louse up field work. I like sorghum for summer grazing because it just doesn’t need a lot of moisture, so when most perennial pasture species may be drying up, sorghum just keeps doing its thing. The reason this crop, and most millets for that matter, thrive in moisture-deficient systems is that they originated in semi-arid climates. Sorghums and Sudan grasses were developed in an equatorial region of Africa known as the Sahel, an area where annual rainfall averages about 10 inches. About
(Contact: renrock46@hotmail.com)
90 percent of the precipitation comes during the June-September time span, so sorghums and Sudan grasses must be planted typically in May. Then they grow during the rainy period, which still averages about one third less precipitation than monthly accumulations in the Northeast. After the rainy seasons these species have to thrive by scrounging for moisture in soils that crack pretty badly from drought-like conditions. So in temperate climates, like ours, a little dry spell doesn’t faze sorghums and Sudan grasses. The seed I was going to plant was a sorghum/Sudan grass hybrid. On July 17 and 18 the acre to be planted had received a much-needed inch of rain. I had asked the landowner to brushhog the piece to be planted, then I would claw it with a secondary tillage implement; he owned a 10 foot wide Danish tine harrow, which would do just fine. When there was a summer program at the local vocational center (up till July 22, 2010), rather than use the three-bottom plow, lent to the school by a cooperating farmer, I pursued a plan B. I would take the two-row cultivator and spread its teeth out, thus fashioning it into a small three-point hitch drag. This worked very well for an acresized piece at the center. For normalsized fields, obviously, the equipment of choice would have been the threebottom plow, followed by hydrauliccontrolled offset disk, followed by a spring-tooth drag. It was just easier on the small piece of ground to claw the living daylights out of the tiny parcel. So two weeks ago (as I write), on July 19, when the acre field had dried up enough for the harrow to throw some dust, I did the claw thing, which took about an hour and a half. Then I
hooked up the borrowed PTO spinner to a second tractor, and spun on the annual hybrid, a procedure which took about 20 minutes. Following that, I quickly dragged in the seed with the Danish implement, which took about 30 minutes. Then I dropped the spinner, knowing I would be back to pick it up within a couple weeks when I would help load up the steers to go to market. On July 31, the trucker, the landowner, and I loaded up the steers very smoothly. I usually tell a steer be-
ing shipped to send me a post card, but I didn’t this time. The farmer and I loaded up the spinner to be returned to its owner. Then I went to look at the sorghum. Pretty much it was about four inches tall, not as uniform as it would be, had it been drilled. There was some quackgrass and red clover that had been in the original meadow. We’re not worried about the quack; how often do you see this species sur-

A new ISO standard on protective clothing will help farmers and agricultural workers to reduce job-related risks when using liquid pesticides. Pesticides are commonly used in farming against pests, diseases and weeds. Depending on the toxicity and the use scenario they pose health risk if users do not wear adequate protective clothing. The new
ISO standard defines specific protection levels. It allows pesticide manufacturers to indicate on the product label the required level of protection needed. It allows garment manufacturers to produce, certify and sell protective clothing with defined protection levels. It allows farmers and agricultural workers to buy and use protective clothing according to the
pesticide manufacturers use requirements. The new ISO 27065:2011, Protective clothing – Performance requirements for protective clothing worn by operators applying liquid pesticides, addresses the protection of farmers and workers mainly during the application phase of pesticides, i.e. the work phase where most operator contamination occurs.
The standard deals with performance requirements of protective clothing materials, seams, and garments and defines three levels of protective clothing with specified resistance to penetration by pesticide products: • Level 1: The potential risk of contamination is relatively low. The performance requirements for level 1 garments have
been developed in view of low spray drift landing on the operator, e.g. from tractor boom sprayers • Level 2: the potential risk of contamination is higher but not so high as to require the use of liquid-tight materials • Level 3: the potential risk of contamination requires use of garments made with liquid-tight materials. This level is suitable for high-expo-
sure scenarios where it has been determined that garments that prevent liquids from penetrating/permeating provide adequate protection. The standard will help test laboratories, fabric and garment manufacturers, manufacturers of pesticide products, trainers, regulators to make decisions regarding protective clothing for protection against pesticide products. Helmut Eichinger, Chair of ISO/TC94/SC 13, comments, “ISO 27065:2011 will help pesticide users to be better protected and improve quality and performances of protective clothing, as well put safer protective clothing on the market. It will also contribute to reducing the risk to occupational health for operators and workers who use liquid pesticides.”
Crop from A6 viving in an intensely grazed pasture? By the end of August the sorghum/Sudan stand should be at least two feet tall and free of any prussic acid threat. Last year, I was able to get one acre of sorghum planted at the occupational center by the end of June. The steers at the school were grazing the meadow, part of which I had just finished clawing up to produce a nice seedbed. I parked the tractor, and prepared to spin on the seed with a hand crank seeder. I knew that the manual seeder would have to be re-filled three times. I set the rest of the bag of seed next to the tractor parked at the edge of the harrowed ground, and commenced walking and cranking. When walking back, I noticed that the eight steers had found the bag of seed, and a couple of them were trying to chow down. I yelled at them to stop eating the seed, to wait till it became grazeable forage. Of course, they displayed this “who me” look, as I chased them away from the bag. But they must have known something I didn’t, wanting to get while the getting was good. Within just a few days the steers would start being transferred to other pastures (no euphemism here), as the summer program ground to a halt.

Health and safety recommendations for farmers and and agritourism operators Farmers and agritourism operators are encouraged to do a site walk-through on their own or with family members, employees or volunteers prior to each day or as often as feasible to identify any missed safety hazards that children may encounter. Information for guests Many of the visitors may have little or no experience with agriculture and the rural environment. It is important that both the adults and the children understand the hazards in this environment. This may be difficult. Long-term agritourism operations that are open to the public without an appointment will have guests and children arriving throughout the day making it more challenging to thoroughly convey safety information. Farms entertaining a group for a single event may be fortunate enough to have advanced notice and can share health and safety information before the group arrives. The following recommendations will be helpful in communicating health and safety information: • Take a few minutes when guests arrive to explain the hazards that can be found around the farm. Have the rules posted. • Inform guests and children about rules and any hazards at specific attractions such as corn mazes and hayrides. Explain how these rules will keep them safe. • Place signs with short safety messages in and around areas where hazards are present. Include “In Case of Emergency” signs around the farm that have emergency contact numbers and the exact location of the farm. • Inform guests of the location of all restrooms and hand-washing stations on the farm. • Provide detailed health and safety information in advance of pre-arranged visits. Ask if any of the children have special needs such as allergies or a disability and try to best accommodate those needs. Visiting groups should be given information explaining farm hazards and rules that adults and children will be expected to follow. Include information such as: • Required child-toadult ratio • Proper attire such as shoes instead of sandals,
long pants (depending on activity), no loose strings, frays, etc. • Reminders about what to bring such as water, insect repellent and sunscreen. • Reminders about what not to bring such as pets, alcohol and devices with open flames such as lighters, lanterns and portable grills. • Reminder to have personal contact information readily available for children attending without parents. • The farm’s Emergency Response Plan. Traffic and Pedestrian Safety The combination of children and traffic in one location makes this an important safety issue. Children have difficulty judging the speed and distance of oncoming vehicles, they can be easily distracted by attractions on the operation and they may be restless and impatient. The overall recommendation is to keep children away from traffic areas. Traffic and Pedestrian Safety Recommendations: • Large, easy-to-read signs should be located about a half mile from the farm entrance in each direction on the road. Make sure to check with local sign ordinances and the Department of Transportation before posting signs. Signs will alert drivers going to the farm and indicate to other traffic to be aware of stopped or turning vehicles. Clearly mark the entrance to the farm or attraction. Make sure that the entrance has adequate lighting and is wide enough to accommodate school buses and other large vehicles. • Make sure that the parking area is easily identifiable and away from areas where children may be present. Have adequate parking for the number of expected vehicles. Guests should not be allowed to park on the public road. Not only is it illegal to park on most paved county roads, but it also reduces the visibility for other drivers. If a large group is coming consider having someone direct traffic to the parking area. Anyone directing traffic on the farm should be wearing a reflective or brightly colored (orange/yellow/green) vest. Traffic flow in one direction is best. If possible,
have a separate entrance and exit onto and out of the property. • Post speed limit signs on-site. Even though it will not be enforceable, a posted speed limit will remind drivers to slow down. In addition, post signs indicating that children are present. Many of these signs are available over the Internet or from your local hardware store. • The driveway to the parking area should be well maintained, properly graded and well lit. • If the farm or attraction is hosting a large event chances are there will not be a gravel lot large enough to handle all vehicles. Most often parking in grassy areas or in a pasture near the site is the best option. Parking areas should be mowed, free of steep grades and trip hazards. Have an alternate parking plan in case of rain or mud.
• If the parking area is far from the farm attractions, have a site where cars and busses can drop-
off and pick-up guests. Source: Agritourism Health and Safety Guidelines for Children

by Ann Swanson All-American fun It has been county fair week around here for the past three weeks. The fair that I attended as a child closed yesterday. The fair that I spent 19 doing
publicity and advertising for opens next week. This week it is a neighboring county’s turn. The county fair is an American institution. Most of the fairs have a

the place to be during the week the fair is open. Once again the family and I plan to attend. Although we all have campers, we will be back and forth as jobs and obligations demand. I take the dog with me. I believe when I pull into those fairgrounds she knows where she is. Instead of staying on the seat she sits up to see all that is going on. Hannah is a willing participant in the fair. I dubbed her the top of the hill greeter. No one passes the camper without her scrutiny. No other dog enters the area without her barking at them. What do I like most about the fair? I think I like the camping. Our family has a wonderful week of togetherness. We take turns cooking meals. Whatever we take is free game for anyone. Usually the oldest grandson helps me load things into the camper so he
knows what I have. He always asks, but he is anxious to open some of the goodies. My granddaughter has a calf again this year. She has been taking it out so it gets used to walking on a leash for the show. I am not sure why she likes to do this, but she really does. Her mother and her uncle used to show calves when they were that age, too. I grew up a city girl, but felt very country as I worked with the children and their calves. Showing is an art. The people who show cows are a devoted bunch. They employ many unusual techniques for keeping the animals clean. My children were young when they showed cows so it required a lot of supervision. I was in those barns from sun up to sun down — especially on show days. My daughter’s calf was really spunky one year so I was up walking around the
grounds early on show day. That helped some but my daughter still had to really take control. My son’s animal was in heat on show day. That made for some very difficult moments for a small boy who stood a head shorter than his animal. He borrowed an animal for the showmanship class because his cow just would not cooperate and caused all kinds of confusion in the ring. When I think of the fair I think mostly of people. The board was a congenial group of people who worked very hard to make the week a memorable one every year. While we worked together we became friends. This past July, I lost two friends from the board. Dave joined the same time I did. He was at the helm of the organization for many years. He was fair and above board. He was a great guy to work with. The other man

A Few Words by Phoebe Hall
Blue heron I looked out by the pond this morning and there was the tallest blue heron I have ever seen on a feeding mission. He bobbed his head down under the water and up again, eating his heart out. I hope he leaves some of the fish for the kids to catch again. The water level is
very low, reflecting on our water table. Black walnuts are in short supply, perhaps the skimpiest crop we’ve ever seen. But I’m not complaining. Many times I’ve had to mow over those obnoxious large hard nuts. The squirrels usually take care of them, but this year with such a short supply I’m
Hickory from A9 booked the entertainment. John took over after his father chose to vacate that position. We often roomed near John and his wife, Kathy, at the state fair convention. One year we even prepared our own breakfasts in the room to be more efficient. We also camped near them at the fair. Neither of these men was on the board any more, but as I look around this season I will miss them. I would be remiss if I did not mention the passing of the man who was the groundskeeper for years. Veigh and Esther’s camper sat just behind Cornplanter Pavilion. Veigh was a
good friend who was always willing to help. I look forward to seeing the new facility that was built to replace Cornplanter Pavilion. The pavilion, dedicated in 1976, fell victim to ice and snow this past winter. Life does not stand still. Fairs must keep up to date in order to compete for the dollars of the patrons. Be sure to attend a county fair this summer. They are part of a rich heritage that celebrates the great place agriculture plays in the economy of a region.

not sure what they will do. Maybe they’ll end up with a squirrel war before it’s all over. Lots of birds are eating our sweet corn because it is just right for them. Trying not to complain too much, birds have to eat also. Then come the raccoons. Speaking of raccoons, my husband got three more this week and one more today. Last night we smelled something that made us gag. After further hunting around, we found we had a visitor right out back. Probably a fox having a midnight cat snack attack. But all
the cats were accounted for this morning, thank goodness! While talking to a friend from San Antonio, Texas, we learned they only had one inch of measurable rain since last September. They were hoping that a tropical storm would come their way and give them a real soaking. He stated that hay is selling for $9 a bale and that is mostly being shipped in. They are already picking their one foot tall shriveled up cotton… but there is nothing on most plants. He asked, “Why is there a shortage with all the
GMO engineered corn being planted?” We told him that weather reigns supreme and they haven’t developed crops that will grow without rain yet. Our mulberry trees are three weeks late in coming into their major production. But the birds
are willing to wait. Usually they produce berries July 4th through Labor Day, but since they are so late maybe they will be around for Halloween. I love the Lord because he hears my prayers and answers them. (Psalms 116:1)

Scorching temperatures have taken their toll on people, cows, and markets. We’ll start with the markets. Cash block cheese closed the last Friday of July at $2.1550 per pound, unchanged on the week, but 55 1/4cents above a year ago. The barrels finished at $2.13, up a half-cent on the week, and 57 1/4cents above a year ago. Twenty four cars of block traded hands on the week and none of barrel. The lagging NASS-surveyed U.S. average price on block cheese dropped to $2.1014, down 3.2 cents, while the barrels came in at $2.1364, up 1.2 cents. Cash butter finished the week at $2.10, up 6 cents, and 28 1/2-cents above a year ago. Seven cars found new homes. Only nine cars were sold in the month. NASS butter averaged $2.0263, up 0.1 cent. Looking back a year ago; butter peaked at $2.2350 on September 27, 2010.
Cash Grade A nonfat dry milk continued to slide, closing the week at $1.51, down a penny and a half. Extra Grade held at $1.61. NASS powder averaged $1.5544, down 9.7 cents, and dry whey averaged 55.01 cents, down 0.2 cent. Checking the cupboards; June butter stocks totaled 190.6 million pounds, up 12 percent from May, but 4 percent below June 2010, according to USDA’s preliminary data in its latest Cold Storage report. Butter stocks aren’t considered burdensome though ice cream sales have not been as strong as expected but that’s likely due to June’s mild weather. The blistering heat that came in July should turn that around as the heat took its toll on people. American type cheese, at 619 million pounds, was unchanged from May and down 1percent
from a year earlier. The decline in American stocks was a surprise to most analysts and the first year-over-year decline since May 2008. Mozzarella stocks were up but FC Stone dairy economist Bill Brooks theorized that commercial buyers may have
been hesitant to buy until the NFL lockout was over. He added however that, “While a continued lockout would put downward pressure on mozzarella demand, college football and the reopening of schools could offset some of the nearterm impact.”
The total cheese inventory was estimated at 1.05 billion pounds, also unchanged from May, and just 1 percent above 2010. As to the toll on the cows; milk production was curtailed by hot humid conditions across a big swath of the U.S., ac-
cording to USDA’s weekly update. Milk solids are also declining, further impacting product yields. Upper Midwest plant intakes were down by 10 percent or more when compared to conditions prior to the heat

wave. Processing plants were running on reduced schedules and some activities were curtailed because of the weather. The East and Southeast was also experiencing oppressive heat and high humidity which was impacting cow comfort and milk output. Several balancing plants were shut down as milk supplies dried up, according to USDA. Milk output was lower in Arizona while mainly steady in New Mexico and California. Weather was not a factor in the Northwest and production remained heavy and near the seasonal peak. Plants are generally running well and handling the milk with adequate capacity. Utah and Idaho plants were running on heavy schedules but have capacity to handle the milk. Looking “Back to the futures;” the Federal order Class III contract’s average for the last half of 2011 was $18.34 per hundredweight on June 10 and 17, $18.21 on June 24, $18.19 on July 1, $18.54 on July 8, $19.29 on July 15, $19.75 on July 22 and was averaging $19.92
just before the cash market traded on Friday, July 29. The August contract hit a record $21.41 on that Thursday. Bill Brooks warned on Wednesday however that settlement prices for some of the 2012 contracts were below breakeven for some producers given the high cost of feed and “could be causing producers to be less aggressive in selling milk futures than they usually would be with Class III prices as high as they are.” Meanwhile; an abundance supply of replacement heifers are waiting in the pipelines, according to the CME’s July 22 Daily Dairy Report (DDR). 4.2 million replacements were on hand at mid-year, according to USDA’s biannual Cattle report, up from 4.1 million last year, and the most since 1989. There were 45.7 replacements for every 100 cows, according to USDA, up 1.4 from a year ago. Dairy Profit Weekly editor Dave Natzke, reports that USDA was to announce July average cow prices on July 29. That will likely have some
good news for the dairy ledger. Cull dairy cow prices through the first six months of 2011 have averaged $74.50 per hundredweight, compared to $54.58 for the same period in 2010, and $45.38 in 2009. The quantity of beef available to consumers in the U.S. has declined a startling amount in recent years, and that trend is going to continue, according to Chris Hurt, Purdue University Extension economist. The declining supplies are related to continuing liquidation of the beef cow herd in the past few years due to high feed prices, a weak U.S. dollar spurring beef exports, and drought in the southwest and southeast, according to Hurt, who adds that declining supplies will support prices across the cattle complex at new record highs in 2011 and 2012. But, the news isn’t all good. The heat and drought in many areas has hurt feed crops and resulted in the smallest hay crop in over a century driving prices higher. A headline this week on the Drudge Report reads “Hay Crisis Reaches North Texas, Ranchers Stunned at Shortage.” Alfalfa hay prices have surged over 50 percent in the past year to a record $186 per ton in May and, with hay and grass making up about half a cow’s ration, farmers are forced to feed less costly alternative feeds but that will surely affect milk production. Natzke outlined in Friday’s DairyLine how inputs are taking a bigger bite out of improving dairy prices. He reported USDA data showing costs of production in June were the highest in more than 30 months, approaching the previous highs of 2008, and overall costs are up about 11 percent from a year ago. The biggest culprit is feed, representing more than three-quarters of the total increase. The other big ticket items on the list are fuel and electricity costs, which are up 33 percent from a year ago, he said. “Higher milk prices should benefit the income side of the index,” Natzke concluded, but “Higher feed prices will likely limit improvements to the farmers’ bottom lines.”

Mielke from A19 Dairy product demand is good, according to the Daily Dairy Report. Total cheese consumption was up 3.8 percent in the MarchMay period, according to USDA data, boosted by continued strong export performance. Cheese exports were up 36.4 percent in the three-month period (+35.5 million pounds versus a year ago), while domestic sales were up 2.5 percent (+64.5 million pounds). Cheese exports were driven in large part by the Cooperatives Working Together program. Butter use was up 13.1 percent. Exports were up 65.7 percent (+20.7 million pounds), and domestic use was up 8.6 percent (+31.4 million pounds). Disappearance of nonfat dry milk and skim milk powder was down 5.6 percent in the three month period, however. Exports were up 13.7 percent (+28.1
million pounds), but domestic use was down 18.6 percent (-56.9 million pounds). The main channel for nonfat dry milk domestically is as fortification for other dairy products, according to the DDR, primarily cheese, yogurt and frozen desserts. Speaking of exports; Dairy broker, FC Stone’s Executive Edition, reports that Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has adopted recommendations for dairy market reform that would slash dairy prices in his country. The reforms include opening Israel’s dairy market to imports. The U.S. closest ally could become a large dairy customer. And, the Yasheng Group, a Chinese agricultural, chemical, and biotechnology company headquartered in California, announced it will start importing U.S. nonfat dry milk into China. The plan is to enter the growing Chi-
nese milk powder market with high-quality infant formula, according to FC Stone. In politics; the debt debate goes on in Washington as of our writing but cuts in spending are one of the sure realities ahead. National Milk’s Chris Galen warned DairyLine radio listeners Thursday that farm programs are one area consistently mentioned for the budget axe. “Whether it’s in the next farm bill or even shorter term,” Galen said “We are going to have less money to protect farmers and provide them with a safety net going forward.” He said this underscores the need to “revamp policy in a proactive way when it comes to dairy programs and that’s why we’re plugging the Foundation for the Future legislative draft released earlier this month.” He admitted they need additional sponsors for the legislation, especially
in the House, and said it’s a “better safety net that provides more bang for the buck for dairy farmers.” He also warned that “we can’t assume that the status quo is going to prevail even if we do nothing,” explaining that current safety nets, the price support program and the MILC program, may be subject to change. He urged listeners to write lawmakers and said National Milk’s website provides an easy way to do that. Log on to www.nmpf.org and scroll down to the “Write to Congress” heading. The Federation’s Foundation proposal picked up a strong endorsement this week from California’s Milk Producers Council’s Board of Directors. The legislation unveiled by Representative Collin Peterson (D-MN) is expected to soon be introduced in the House. Last week I reported on comments made on DairyLine radio by Dairy

Management Incorporated’s David Pelzer regarding falling milk consumption. Pelzer continued that series this week, addressing lactose intolerance as a “growth market for milk.” The dairy checkoff has as one of its goals to reach lactose intolerant consumers via lactose free dairy products and one way to do that, he said, is to “work with the brands that have the market power behind them.” He cited HP Hood’s Lactaid as an example, pointing to its
packaging and marketing as a way to get other companies to pursue this niche market. Pelzer pointed to milk’s nutritional value. “Set a bottle of water on the table and a bottle of milk, which is better for you,” he asked. “For us in the industry, the answer to that is easy but we need to educate consumers about the nutrient richness of our product.” He said consumers need to consider the nutritional value of the beverages they choose when comparing the costs.

Farming and ranching is no ‘get rich quick’ scheme by John Hart For some time now, the investment guru Jim Rogers has been encouraging young people not to pursue careers in high finance, but to become farmers. Rogers argues that in these times, farming is a greater path to wealth and riches than investment banking. Commodity prices are up, retail food prices are high and demand continues to grow. “The world has got a serious food problem,” Rogers said in a recent interview with Time magazine. “The only real way to solve it is to draw more people back to agriculture.” Rogers is right, to a point. Net farm income is up and should break a nominal record of $99 billion this year. Farm land values are rising
and the balance sheets of most of America’s farmers and ranchers are strong. But what Rogers needs to remember is that the costs of growing crops and producing livestock are also going up, primarily because of higher energy and fertilizer costs. Farming is still a highrisk occupation, far riskier than trading stocks and bonds on Wall Street. It costs a lot of money to put a crop in the ground and nurture it to a successful harvest. And this year, many farmers and ranchers are battling historic drought. In fact, agricultural losses in Texas could be the worst that state has ever seen, possibly twice the record loss of $4.1 billion in
Safety from A14
2006, according to David Anderson, an economist with the Texas AgriLife Extension Service. High cotton and corn prices don’t do you a lick of good if you don’t have a crop to harvest. Still, Rogers is bullish on the long-term profit potential of agriculture. He believes farm income will continue to rise over the next few decades and has greater growth potential than other industries. Demand from China is driving much of the gains while the boom in biofuels is also helping. “If I’m right, agriculture is going to be one of the greatest industries in the next 20 years, 30 years,” Rogers said on CNBC in March 2009. Today, two years later, he is still optimistic. Another way to look at it is that agriculture could well be the growth industry of the 21st century. And that is a good thing for both America and the world. A strong and robust farm economy can help revitalize rural communities, benefiting everyone from the
local car dealer to local schools. For most of this century, bad economic news has dominated the headlines. America’s farmers and ranchers can help lead the economy back to prosperity. But steps must be taken to lower production costs and reduce the risks of farming and ranching. The best way to do this is to reduce energy costs, which is why the United States must be focused on energy independence. The United States must develop a comprehensive national energy policy, which includes opening and using new sources of petroleum along with renewable fuels. One thing is certain: farming is no “get rich quick” scheme. Commodity prices may be up, but the costs of producing those commodities are also up. Add weather risks to the equation, and there is no guarantee that you will see a lucrative payday like those enjoyed by many Wall Street investment bankers.
FOCUS ON AGRICULTURE American Farm Bureau Federation True, there are great rewards in farming and ranching. But with those rewards, come many, many risks.

ENFIELD, CT — Farm Credit East, the largest lender to Northeast agriculture, reports that Northeast farm production over the past 12 months has increased on average by 10.3 percent, with some farm operations seeing significantly higher costs. Farm Credit East’s Knowledge Exchange analysis indicates that particular areas of increase in cost year-overyear are purchased feed
(up 34 percent), fertilizer (up 34 percent) and fuels (up 36 percent). Grain prices of all types are up significantly over last year due to tightness of supply and growth in the biofuels market. Global oil prices are rising due to continued political tensions in North Africa and the Middle East and the growing demand for energy in the developing world. With the close link between fertilizer
prices and energy costs, agricultural producers are experiencing rising energy costs in more ways than one. Most other production costs have increased at, or slightly above, the rate of inflation. Farm Credit East noted that one of the continuing issues is ensuring an adequate labor force. Immigration enforcement efforts continue to create challenges and farm businesses find it in-

Committee holds eighth audit hearing on agricultural programs WASHINGTON, D.C. — On July 27, Representative K. Michael Conaway, Chairman of the House Agriculture Committee’s Subcommittee on General Farm Commodities and Risk Management, held an audit hearing to examine Title I programs and the Supplemental Revenue Assistance Payments (SURE) program. This is the eighth hearing in the series on farm policy that is designed to provide oversight of current spending to ensure programs are delivered effectively. It also provides Members of the Committee with a comprehensive view of farm programs. Title I programs, plus crop insurance, form the backbone of the farm safety net, but only account for roughly 16 percent of all farm bill spending. In addition to crop insurance, the primary components of the title include direct payments, the counter-cyclical program, and marketing loan assistance. Together, they ensure that farmers have support during seasons of bad weather and volatile prices. The 2008 Farm Bill introduced another form of commodity support in the form of Average Crop Revenue Election (ACRE). Also new to the 2008 Farm Bill is the SURE program, which provides assistance to eligible producers suffering
crop losses during natural disasters. “In the last few years American agriculture has experienced a multitude of perils, both natural and man-made. With that in mind, and Congress lacking the ability to accurately predict the future, it is imperative that future farm policy not only mitigates a crisis, but also establishes a framework to prevent one. With little time before the next farm bill, we should be cognizant that our resources are finite, our decisions are timely, and our investments need to last. Our choices must be wise,” said Chairman K. Michael Conaway (R-TX). “As a farmer, I have always considered myself an eternal optimist. However, every now and then the farmers and ranchers who feed our nation face painful consequences to their operation. Our producers must operate and succeed in an industry that relies on uncontrollable forces, such as weather, ever increasing cost of inputs, and market volatility. We need to provide a strong support system to enable farmers and ranchers to continue to provide the safest, most plentiful and affordable food supply in the world. All Americans have a vested interest in their success,” said Ranking Member Leonard L. Boswell (D-IA).

UNIVERSITY PARK, PA — If things seem all aflutter around the garden demonstration plots at Penn State’s Ag Progress Days, Aug. 1618 at Rock Springs, it may be because the huge number of flowers and plantings within the plots will be celebrating their third year of attracting and nourishing the native bees,
butterflies and other pollinators for which they are intended. As the nation’s populations of pollinators continued to plummet, Penn State Master Gardeners from across the state and horticulture faculty created and nurtured the gardens at the foot of 11th Street at the show site to demonstrate that supplying pollinators

Molly Sturniolo, coordinator for Master Gardeners in Centre County, said Ag Progress Days visitors find them an effective exhibit, often stopping because they are drawn to the colorful floral displays and staying to comment on the abundance of butterflies. “Since they’re only three years old, the demo plots are still relatively new,” said Sturniolo. “But they are established well enough to serve as living proof that the average gardener can do
propagate these beneficial insects, Penn State Master Gardeners offer their Pollinator Friendly Garden Certification program, which teaches homeowners and gardeners to certify their landscapes as pollinatorfriendly. The certification includes such skills as planting a year-round native garden of diverse and abundant plants, maintaining a parcel of wild and undisturbed vegetation, installing bee nests and minimizing pesticide use. Visitors to Ag Progress Days who sign up to
complete the four-step certification process (which carries a $10 fee) will be eligible to purchase a pollinatorfriendly sign for their property. Sturniolo said Master Gardeners also will be on hand to answer any questions about horticulture and gardening in general.

Suzanne Foote, Breana Scribner and Margaret Brownell pass out treats as well as information on dairy products.
The Washington County Dairy Promotion team consisting of Suzanne Foote, Washington County Dairy Princess, Morgan Mercure, Washington County Alternate Dairy Princess, and nearly 30 Ambassadors have had a busy summer talking about the many benefits of dairy in a well balanced diet. While celebrating June Is Dairy Month 30 different school programs were conducted reaching over 500 students. The Princesses and Ambassadors visited many county classrooms, read a dairy-related book, handed out stickers, pencils and even samples of dairy products. The promotion team stressed that dairy farmers are committed to providing safe, high-quality milk and dairy products while safeguarding the environment.
Parades, Farmers Markets, Dairy Day in Albany, Tour de Farm, the Saratoga County Fair, Tri-County Holstein and Brown Swiss Shows and speaking to the Washington County Board of Supervisors have highlighted this busy summer. Now, this active dairy promotion team is gearing up for the Washington County Fair. New this year, the Dairy Princess Booth will be located in the Ag Center. This provides the Dairy Princesses and the Ambassadors the opportunity to be more interactive with fair-goers. The Princesses will be speaking during milking time about the very important dairy industry. Fair-goers will learn dairy related facts and will be able to ask pressing questions of the Dairy Princesses. The booth will have daily giveaways, cheese samples, yogurt
samples, coloring contests and a chance for fair-goers to milk the ADADC model cow. Friday night of the fair will highlight local politicians in their quest to be the best milker in the county. County supervisors paired with the Dairy Princesses will go head to head in this very exciting milking competition! Following the milking competition will be the best dressed calf contest. These events are always fun to watch. Be sure to come visit us in the Ag Center at the Washington County Fair! The Washington County Dairy Princess program is made possible through the support of the American Dairy Association and Dairy Council, the local planning and management organization funded by dairy farmer check-off dollars.

Governor Cuomo launches North Country Regional Economic Development Council Council will drive local economic development and improve business climate statewide. North Country Regional Council to be Led by Anthony Collins and Garry Douglas Governor Andrew M. Cuomo on July 28 launched his North Country Regional Economic Development Council, which will redesign the relationship between the state government and businesses to stimulate regional economic development and create jobs statewide. The Governor was joined by local officials, business leaders, and community members to launch the Regional Council at SUNY Potsdam. The North Country Regional Council will be led by Anthony “Tony” Collins, President of Clarkson University, and Garry Douglas, President of the North Country Chamber of Commerce, who will both serve as Regional Co-Chairs. The Regional Council will coordinate the economic development of Clinton, Essex, Franklin, Hamilton, Jefferson, Lewis and St. Lawrence counties. “For too long, Albany has relied on
one-size-fits-all economic development plans that do not take into account the unique assets and challenges of each region,” Governor Cuomo said. “Today, we are taking a new approach. With the Regional Councils, we will empower individual areas like the North Country to undertake a regionally specific plan for job creation and growth. This announcement sends a clear message that New York is open for business.” The Regional Councils represent a fundamental shift in the state’s approach to economic development, from a top-down development model to a community-based approach that emphasizes regions’ unique assets, harnesses local expertise, and empowers each region to set plans and priorities. Currently, New York State’s economic development efforts are managed through dozens of separate state and local agencies. The Regional Councils will now bring together stakeholders in every region of the state to serve as a coordinated point of contact for economic development. Each Regional
Council will be chaired by Lieutenant Governor Robert Duffy and will be led by two Regional Co-Chairs from the business and academic communities. Additional membership is comprised of local leaders from business, academia, labor, agriculture, nonprofits, and community-based organizations. Each Regional Council will develop a plan for the development of their region. The state will work with the Regional Councils to align state resources and policies, eliminate unnecessary barriers to growth and prosperity, and streamline the delivery of government services and programs to help the Regional Councils carry out their plans for development. Governor Cuomo has already made historic changes to the state’s economic development grant application process to support the Regional Councils. Through a new Consolidated Funding Application that combines resources from dozens of existing programs, the Regional Councils can now

Lieutenant Governor Robert Duffy said, “Governor Cuomo’s groundbreaking economic development strategy will put New York back on the right path. These Regional Councils will focus on what each specific region actually needs, ensuring we take full advantage of our resources and keep businesses and investment here in New York. This approach will enable every section of the state to prepare individualized economic plans and will bring jobs and growth back to New York.” The 10 Regional Councils cover the Capital Region, Central New York, Finger Lakes, Long Island, Mid-Hudson, Mohawk Valley, New York City, North Country, Southern Tier, and Western New York.

A What? A Donut Burger? Only at the Great New York State Fair A donut for breakfast and a bacon cheeseburger for lunch. Why not just combine them and
make a bacon donut burger — two meals for the price of one? This is the latest craze
in food at the New York State Fair. A quarter pound burger in between a grilled, sliced glazed
donut with your choice of cheese, bacon, lettuce, tomato and onion, what more can you ask for.
This culinary creation, going by the name the Big Kahuna Donut Burger, is going to be available
at the New York State Fair sold by the Big Kahuna concession stand located in Times Square next to the Poultry Building. The glazed donuts are going to be made locally at the Harrison Bakery in Syracuse. You can find this and all of the food fare available at the Fair by checking the New York State Fair Food Finder. Just type in what you are looking for and the Food Finder will tell you who is selling it and where they are located. This Web site will be updated and operating before the start of the Fair on Aug. 25. The 2011 Fair will run from Aug. 25 to Sept. 5. For the latest concert announcements and Fair news, sign up for e-mail and text message updates at www.nysfair.org. Find The Great New York State Fair on Facebook or follow NYSFair on Twitter.

John Deere “New Legislated Engines” mini-seminars added to Empire Farm Days SENECA FALLS, NY — Daily mini-seminars have been added to the great lineup of activities at Empire Farm Days, the Northeast’s largest outdoor agricultural trade show. Each day at 1 p.m. New York State’s John
Deere dealers will offer a 45-minute seminar on the changing engine technologies and how they impact farmers. The seminars will be offered at the John Deere exhibit at Booth #823 on the 300acre showgrounds at
Rodman Lott & Son Farms in Seneca Falls. The presentations will include an example of a new John Deere 6090 Interim Tier 4 engine to demonstrate the changes with a discussion of best how-to practices for
maintaining the engine for the best life of the equipment. Dealer representative Jerry Stewart says, “Even if you are not a John Deere owner, you are welcome to come and learn about these changes that
affect all manufacturers and all farmers operating any engine 75 horsepower or larger.” Empire Farm Days includes opportunities to test drive tractors, ATVs and the Heavy Duty RAM Truck; DairyProfit Semi-
nars, live animal demonstrations with cattle, horses and goats, and exhibits and programs by more than 600 exhibitors. Parking is $10; show entry is free.
NCBA statement on Beef Products, Inc., announcement to expand safety testing WASHINGTON, D.C. — J.O. “Bo” Reagan, National Cattlemen’s Beef Association (NCBA) Senior Vice President of Research, Education & Innovation, issued the following statement regarding the recent announcement from Beef Products, Inc.,(BPI) that the company will begin testing for an additional six strains of pathogenic E. coli, commonly referred to as non-O157 Shiga-toxinproducing E. coli (STEC). Reagan also serves as chairman of the Beef Industry Food Safety Council (BIFSCo) as well as leader of the industry’s Blue Ribbon Task Force on beef safety. “As the oldest and largest national association representing the nation’s beef cattle industry, NCBA is committed to producing, delivering and serving safe, wholesome and nutritious beef for consumers in the United States and abroad. Through the Blue Ribbon Task Force and BIFSCo, NCBA is committed to doing our part to ensure the safety of beef and beef products. We support research to determine critical virulence factors of non-O157 STECs associated with human illness and all collaborative food safety research to ensure we have the latest science and knowledge to guide our industry forward. “NCBA is not alone in its efforts because everyone plays a role in the safety of beef. BPI recently announced it is taking it upon itself as a processor of lean beef to take additional steps to determine whether current interventions and safety process control measures are working against these non-O157 STECs. You can’t test
your way to a safe product but you can test to
ensure the process controls in place are work-
ing. BPI’s decision to move forward in testing
for these pathogens speaks well for BPI’s
commitment to the safety of its products.”

by Miranda Reiman Flood water forces the exodus of cattle to higher ground. Drought does the same on a wider scale, only to greener ground. And in the case of wild fires, tornados and other natural disasters there might not even be time for that. As if the job of beef producer isn’t hard

After you’re done reading, maybe you could do a little multi-tasking and wear your long-range planning cap while raking hay. If a natural disaster strikes your farm or ranch, what will you do? If you were forced to move or sell cows, which ones would go? You’ve been building your herd with consistent genetics that are more valuable than just the market price per pound. How can you make sure your investment of time and money in data and breeding programs isn’t just lost, leaving you to
start all over again? Yes, desperate times will call for adjustments. You may need to shift your production calendar, doing things like weaning and feeding cows several months earlier than usual. Or in the case of excess moisture, you might need to find an alternative feedstuff when your prime hayfield is under water. But think beyond the immediate. If your ultimate goal is selling pounds at weaning, that may suffer in the short term, but you can adjust to select for bulls that deliver both pounds and quality. If quality is king, you can chose marbling in tandem with other production goals. Easy calvers, easy doing cows and easy temperaments have no weather require-

Planning to cope
There are the immediate plans, like where you’re going to find grass for your pairs or how you’re going to keep the cattle corralled with the washed out fence line. There are intermediate plans, like figuring out how to pay back that revolving bank loan when production is down or how to move weaning up to reduce grazing pressure. But the long-term goals are the ones that are easy to lose sight of in a crisis, and understandably so. “Fight or flight” mode leaves little time to consider the future five or 10 years down the road. It’s about what’s happening now, the immediate cause and effect. If you’re reading this, you’re likely not in that

Trucks Animal Evacuation Trailers awarded to three New Jersey counties by the Christie Administration Trailers to aid pets and livestock in the event of a disaster TRENTON, NJ — Targeting highly dense, high-risk areas of the state, animal evacuation trailers were awarded to Bergen, Hudson and Morris Counties by the New Jersey Department of Agriculture during a ceremony on Aug. 2 in West Trenton, NJ. The three 20-foot trailers are outfitted with cages and can be used to provide temporary shelter or transportation for
pets and livestock in emergencies. The trailers have heating and cooling units, electrical and water hook-ups, generators and external light sources, giving users the ability to set up a temporary animal shelter at any location. “New Jersey, located between two major cities, needs to be prepared in case disaster strikes, because any incident that poses a threat to large numbers of people is likely to put animals at risk, as well,” said New
WILLIAMS TIRE and AUTO
Jersey Secretary of Agriculture Douglas H. Fisher, who awarded the trailers to the counties’ Offices of Emergency Management and County Animal Response Teams. “The animal evacuation

The trailers were paid for with an Urban Areas Security Initiative Grant through the New Jersey Office of Homeland Security and Preparedness. The grant program’s goal is to “support the unique multi-discipline planning, operations, equipment, training and exercise needs of high threat, high density urban areas, and to assist them in building and sustaining capabilities to prevent, protect against, respond to, and recover from threats or acts of terrorism.” “Ensuring that individuals, families, and communities have plans in place so they are ready for any type of emergency event, including plans that consider family pets, is a critical part of our
mission,” said Charles B. McKenna, Director of the New Jersey Office of Homeland Security and Preparedness. “Pets are important members of the family unit and these evacuation trailers will enable first responders to help safely evacuate family pets post-disaster.” The trailers will be used by the counties’ Animal Response Teams (CART), first responders who are trained on animal issues in disasters. CART’s are part of the State Animal Response Team, organized by the Animal Emergency Working Group of the Department of Agriculture, and activated under the State Office of Emergency Management. As part of the grant, the counties also received funds for public education on animal

emergency preparedness. Bergen County has a roster of more than 3,000 volunteers ready to deploy to help animals, if needed. The trailer will be housed in Paramus, a central location in the county. “Catastrophic events like hurricane Katrina in New Orleans and what occurred in Mississippi last year, where so many pets were displaced and in need of assistance, showed us the necessity for emergency planning, volunteers, equipment and the supplies to respond to animals,” Bergen County Executive Kathleen A. Donovan said.
“The Bergen County Police Department is pleased that they have been awarded the Animal Emergency Trailer, which in such a disaster can house pets, giving their owners the peace of mind to seek necessary shelter for themselves without worrying about their pets.” Previous Homeland Security grants received by the Department of Agriculture have gone to purchase six other animal emergency trailers, either for emergency animal shelters or veteri-

New Jersey Farm Bureau Focus Week ending July 29 Energy master plan: The Christie administration’s draft Energy Master Plan was the subject of the first (of three) public hearings. Held July 26 in Newark and chaired by BPU president Lee Solomon, the hearing attracted an audience of 150 people. The plan directs itself to keeping the price of energy for business and consumers manageable; it is less about achieving environmental improvement objectives. Thereupon, there were comments from environmental groups complaining about the reduction of solar energy power generation from 30 percent to 22.5 percent by 2030. Solomon replied: think of 22.5 percent as a floor, not a ceiling. Other solar advocates worry about a shift to large-scale solar only and less on subsidized residential installations. The state hopes to adopt
the plan by the end of the year. The second hearing was held in Trenton on Aug. 3, and the final hearing will be at Stockton College on Aug. 11. New Jersey ag and national polling: When asked “what comes to mind when you think of New Jersey,” respondents to a national telephone poll gave “Garden State/farming/open space” the third highest ranking. First was “next to New York/New York,” and second was “shore/ocean/beach/ boardwalk/boating.” After that and the farming selection came some negative stereotypes (corruption, pollution, too many people). Let it be said, then, that agriculture and farms contribute handsomely to the state’s image and quality of life. Pinelands forestry threat: State foresters are alarmed by the rapid spread and pine tree destruction from
a voracious little insect called the southern pine beetle (SPB). At a seminar co-hosted by NJAES and the DEP State Forestry Service at the Gloucester County Extension Center, information was provided about the “perfect storm” of conditions now in play that threaten broad swaths of South Jersey’s pine forests. This native bark beetle, which is smaller than a grain of rice, feeds on the living tissue under the tree’s bark and introduces a blue stain fungus. Since its re-entry into the state in 2001, SPB has impacted approximately 26,600 total acres. In 2010 alone, there were some 369 sites with infestations on 10,000 acres. The spread of the insect originated in Cape May County and has crossed into Atlantic County, where it is poised to breach the Mullica River and head into the pine tree-dominant woods of the
Pine Barrens. Upcoming seminars and power point presentation on suppression methods and other facts about this outbreak will be Aug. 9 in RCE of Burlington County; Aug. 16 in RCE of Cape May County; and Aug. 23 in RCE of Ocean County. For more information, go to: www.southernpinebeetle.nj.gov. Agritourism: A report by Rutgers University in 2006 estimated the value of agritourism activities on New Jersey farms totaled $57 million. It further estimated that more than 20 percent of New Jersey farms offered some form of agritourism that affected 43 percent of farming’s total land. For further information, contact the New Jersey Farm Bureau, at The Farmhouse, 168 West State Street, Trenton, NJ 08608.

New Jersey Office of Homeland Security and Preparedness. Domestic animals are an integral part of daily life in America. Approximately 60 percent of U.S. households have dogs, cats and other species as companion animals. In addition to
their intrinsic value, pets or service animals improve the quality of life for people and both police dogs and rescue dogs routinely save human lives. To learn more about the county and state Animal Response Teams, or to become involved, visit www.nj.

Beef shortage means hold on to the cows by Phyllis Picklesimer The quantity of beef available to consumers in the United States has declined a startling amount in recent years, and that trend is going to continue. Unfortunately, even higher retail beef prices can be expected for consumers, said Chris Hurt, a Purdue University Extension economist. “The declining supplies are related to continuing liquidation of the cow herd
in the past few years due to high feed prices, a weak U.S. dollar that is spurring beef exports, and, of course, drought in the Southwest and Southeast. Declining supplies will support prices across the cattle complex at new record highs in 2011 and again in 2012,” he said. The USDA estimate of the inventory of beef cows on July 1 showed a further decline of 1 percent in the past

year. Since 2007, when feed prices were still moderate, beef cow numbers have dropped 5 percent. More alarming is the decline in beef available to U.S. consumers as cow numbers were dropping and foreign consumers have been buying much more of the U.S. production, he said. In 2006 and 2007, before feed prices surged, U.S. consumers had over 65 pounds of beef available per person.
This year, USDA analysts expect that to be down to 57.9 pounds and to drop again to only 55.6 pounds per person in 2012, he said. “This represents a 15 percent reduction in available supplies during the high-feed price era. The drought in the Southern Plains and Southeast this year is continuing the herd reduction due to extreme shortages and high

Shortage from B11 prices of forages. In addition, recent heat stress is thought to be causing higher death losses that will also contribute to smaller supplies,” he said. Beef exports Beef trade is back as a contributor to beef prices as well. In 2003, beef exports reached a record, representing 9.6 percent of domestic production. The discovery of a BSE cow late that year caused most buyers to shun U.S. beef with exports dropping to just 2.3 percent of production in 2004, Hurt said. “It has taken a long time, but 2011 is expected to see a record 10 percent of U.S. production heading to foreign consumers,” he said. There have been several drivers of higher exports. One was the re-opening of the South Korean market in July 2008 after they banned U.S. beef in late 2003. Although South Korea was our fourth largest buyer in 2010, they have jumped to the second largest buyer in 2011 with purchases so far this year more than double the same period in 2010, he said. “Japanese purchases are up over 50 percent, which is probably also related to the earthquake/tsunami disaster there,” Hurt said. There is a more fundamental driver of favorable beef trade patterns for U.S. producers, however, and that is the weakness of the U.S. dollar. A weak U.S. dollar implies that some foreign currencies are strengthening and providing incentives for both more beef exports and less beef imports, he noted. “U.S. beef imports from New
Zealand, Australia and Canada are down 6, 25, and 26 percent this year, whereas imports from Australia are off 89 percent. These are the four largest sources of U.S. beef imports,” he said. Beef exports so far this year are up 27 percent, with large increases to three of our four largest customers: Canada, Japan and South Korea, he said. “In fact, the U.S. became a net exporter of beef beginning in September 2010. This is the first time in modern history that the beef industry has exported more beef than they imported. So far this year the United States has a net trade surplus of over 2 percent of production. This compares with a nearly 2 percent trade deficit in the same period last year, meaning about 4 percent less supplies available to American consumers due to changes in trade,” Hurt said. Beef prices Placements into feedlots in June were surprisingly high, at 4 percent higher than placements a year earlier. The larger placements were due to a rapid movement of calves weighing less than 700 pounds into feedlots. This was probably related to some backgrounders running out of feed and to lower feed prices in June that gave feedlot managers more confidence in potential positive margins, Hurt said. “Finished cattle prices are expected to reach summer lows in late August in the $106 to $110 range, similar to current prices. As the weather cools into September, prices are expected to rise seasonally and to average $112 to

$116 in the final quarter. For the entire year, this will mean averages of $109 to $112,” he said. First and second quarter prices in 2012 are expected to set records once again with quarterly averages climbing to $115 to $120. Peak seasonal prices in the early spring of 2012 could reach $125, he added. “Calf prices this fall will be further

Whether you have 20 or 2,000 cows, success in the U.S. cattle business lies in your herd’s reproductive ability; however, those traits are among the most difficult to characterize from a genetic standpoint. But after years of collecting breeding records, the American Angus Association® has introduced a genetic selection tool to help Angus breeders and their customers better identify animals with desirable reproduc-
tive ability. The heifer pregnancy expected progeny difference (HP EPD) will measure the chance of a sire’s daughters becoming pregnant during a normal breeding season. “One of our research initiatives has been to characterize reproductive traits in the Angus breed. Now, after much time in the research phase, we’ve developed a database that allows us to provide EPDs for the reproductive com-
plex,” said Bill Bowman, American Angus Association chief operating officer (COO). The HP EPD isn’t a new concept. The Association began reporting heifer pregnancy research values in its biannual Sire Evaluation Report in 2007. In June 2011, the Association Board of Directors approved moving the HP EPD from research to reality. The EPD now appears weekly alongside other maternal
trait EPDs such as calving ease maternal (CEM), maternal milk (Milk), mature weight (MW), mature height (MH) and cow energy value ($EN). “Angus breeders and their customers continue to recognize the value of selection tools available through the Association,” said Sally Northcutt, Association director of genetic research. “The weekly heifer pregnancy evaluation will provide more real-time EPDs for improving the probabili-

traits are challenging to measure and tend to be more lowly heritable in comparison to growth and carcass traits, Northcutt says the Association is spearheading an aggressive push to expand the breeding database, with first-calf heifers as the initial target for selection tools.

ty of successful heifer breedings in the herd.” Heifer pregnancy EPDs are developed using breeding records, pregnancy-check and calving data, as well as pedigree information. The unit of measure for the EPD is a percentage — a higher EPD is more favorable. “In this case, when comparing two sires on heifer pregnancy EPDs, a higher -EPD sire would be expected to have daughters with a greater probability or chance of becoming pregnant than a sire with the lower EPD,” Northcutt explains.

Don’t miss DairyProfit Seminars at 2011 Empire Farm Days SENECA FALLS, NY — This year’s DairyProfit Seminars at Empire Farm Days feature opportunities with intensive grazing, transitioning to the next generation, and the latest findings to increase cow comfort. The free seminars begin at 10:30am in the Empire Farm Days’ Dairy Seminar Center at Rodman Lott & Son Farms in Seneca Falls, NY. They are open to the public. Industry updates from the Beef Check-Off Program and a picnic lunch follow each seminar. Cornell University’s PRO-DAIRY Program and Eastern DairyBusiness Magazine present the seminars with support from industry sponsors. Tuesday, Aug. 9: Intensive Pasture Management Three New York dairy producers experienced with grazing the dairy herd will present a panel discussion. Bill Paddock of Remsen, NY, milks 75 registered Holsteins and is a grazing specialist
with the Oneida County Soil & Water Conservation Service. Mark Savage of Boonville, NY, is a partner in a 200-cow operation grazing both the milking herd and heifers. He has also managed a larger, freestall confinement dairy. Joe Schultz operates a 50-cow herd near Lowville, NY, where his family has used intensive pasture management since 1988.

Native wasp acts as early warning device for EAB infestations LISLE, IL — Researchers have confirmed that a native wasp that preys on the emerald ash borer was found at Emerson Park in suburban Skokie. The dis-

The Morton Arboretum. “Cerceris is a parasitic wasp. It goes out to find a buprestid, or a woodboring insect like EAB, stings it, and brings one back to its nest. Later, it will lay an egg on it and place it in its own chamber. When the egg hatch-
es, the larva will eat the beetle,” said Krafka. To help in the hunt for the wasp, The Morton Arboretum set up a new ‘biosurveillance’ program. The Cerceris Identification and Awareness program (CIA for EAB) enlists the help of park
district staff and park users to look for wasp nests and EAB carcasses near them. The Cerceris wasp is a good candidate for this pilot program, as it doesn’t harm humans. This new program asks the community to be ‘Citizen Scientists’ to
help fight invasive pests. “We need park professionals and residents to watch ball fields for signs of ground-nesting wasp activity or the actual nests,” said Edith Makra, Community Tree

Cerceris is a parasitic wasp. It goes out to find a woodboring insect like emerald ash borer, stings it, and brings one back to its nest. covery was a result of a partnership between The Morton Arboretum and the Illinois Parks and Recreation Association. Now, researchers hope that the wasp, Cerceris fumipennis, will serve as a sort of “canary in the coal mine,” or an early warning system for EAB infestation in areas where EAB has not yet been found, according to Dr. Frederic Miller, Research Associate at The Morton Arboretum. “By the time humans are able to detect EAB visually, the infestation is usually well-established. We hope this wasp will serve as an effective monitoring tool, giving us
manage infestations. Cerceris wasps nest in the ground, commonly in open areas of hardpacked sandy soil with ash trees nearby. Athletic fields, such as ball diamonds, volleyball courts, horse shoe pits, and even parking lots are common nesting locations. The nests are characterized by pencil-diameter holes on top of little mounds of sand. The wasps are most active during summer months, when they feed on a whole family of wood-boring insects called Buprestid, of which EAB is a member, according to Devin Krafka, Research Assistant at

WASHINGTON, D.C. — National Farmers Union (NFU) President Roger Johnson released the following statement in response to the passage of legislation by the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives that raises the debt ceiling and cuts spending: “I am pleased that the members of Congress and the White House were finally
able to come to an agreement on this issue. However, despite the anxiety and negotiating this past week, many difficult decisions remain in the weeks ahead. “In a recent letter to the White House and Congressional leaders, NFU and 33 other agriculture and rural organizations asked that any cuts to agriculture be pro-
portional and that credit be given to agriculture for the $6 billion reduction it absorbed last year. NFU hopes that any decision to reduce agriculture spending will provide the Senate and House Agriculture Committees with certainty and enough resources to write an effective farm bill.
“The struggle for agriculture funding is not over. As discussions continue for the 2012 Farm Bill, it is imperative that U.S. farmers, ranchers and fishermen have a strong safety net they can rely on in times of need in order to continue to provide the country and the world with a safe and abundant food supply.”
Wasp from C12 Advocate at The Morton Arboretum, who leads the CIA citizen science effort. “We first need to locate and confirm the presence of Cerceris so that we can enlist ‘Citizen Scientists’ in future monitoring that can help manage EAB to protect ash trees.” Once park districts alert The Morton Arboretum about possible nests, Krafka and other research assistants will confirm they belong to
Cerceris wasp. This was the case in Skokie. John Gacki, Parks Supervisor for the Skokie Park District noticed nests and colonies in the ground when doing work on the baseball field. He immediately contacted The Morton Arboretum and that’s when Krafka went to check it out. “First I saw it flying around, and identified it visually,” says Krafka, “Then I saw the dead EAB carcasses on the
ground.” The Cerceris is different from the Oobius wasps the city of Chicago recently released to fight EAB. Cerceris is native to the area and can thrive in our environment. Tiny, almost invisible, the Oobius wasps are from China. Federal officials introduced Oobius wasps in hope they will reduce the number of EAB in the city. Whereas researchers hope Cerceris,
A Rugged Flexwing with Features and Benefits for Mowing Contoured Fields. Here’s the heavy duty flexwing cutter with all the features needed for rugged mowing jobs. This tough Bush Hog cutter has a 20-foot cutting width and is rated for minumum 90 pto horsepower tractors. It has a 5-year limited gearbox warranty, and its 10-gauge steel deck construction lets it take on the shocks of heavy mowing. Wings flex from 87° up to 22° down and wide wing skids reduce “dig-in” on sharp turns. Each axle pivot point has a greasable bushing for long life. Come in today and see the other features of the 2720, such as dual wheels on the center section, a “no-disconnect” turnbuckle for ease of wing adjustment and optional walking tandem axles for extremely rough mowing conditions.

ONE OF THE MOST RUGGED ROTARY CUTTERS ON THE MARKET. The 406 Series from Bush Hog are just about the toughest rotary cutters you can hitch behind a tractor. Offered in a choice of lift or pull models, these 6-foot units take on brush and saplings up to 4-inches thick. Round blade holders, heavy duty gearboxes and slip clutches provide protection when operating in adverse field conditions. 1/4-inch thick steel decks and side bands, along with extra welding at high stress points, assure greater durability. To see a really tough rotary cutter, come in today and look over the Bush Hog 406.

It wasn’t until it was discovered that the bugs preyed on EAB that the insect was back on their radar. Across the Northeastern U.S., from Minnesota down to Missouri, east to the Atlantic Coast, researchers are on the lookout for the

wasps. As the local leader in this national effort, The Morton Arboretum discovered Cerceris Illinois this summer. As of now, EAB has only been found in Northeast Illinois, as far west as Winnebego County, and as far south as Champaign and Vermillion counties. But people are bracing for the first discoveries of EAB further south and west in the state of Illinois. The discovery of the Cerceris wasp could help communities not yet affected by EAB early detect a potential infestation. EAB is native to Asia and is suspected to have arrived in this county in cargo utilizing wood packing material. In its native range, EAB attacks and kills trees that are weakened by stresses such as drought, disease, and me-
chanical injury. Unfortunately, in North America, EAB also attacks and kills healthy trees. This invasive pest is so aggressive that virtually all ash trees are at risk, and trees may die within two to four years after they become infested. Already, tens of millions of North American ash trees have succumbed to this borer. If EAB is not contained, the devastation to our ash trees may be similar to that of our American elms, which were decimated by Dutch elm disease. The potential impact from EAB in Illinois is significant. Ash trees account for 6 percent of forests state-wide, and 20 percent of residential trees in the northeastern part of the state, or approximately 130 million ash trees.

Farmers and food leaders named to Cuomo regional economic development councils ALBANY, NY — Farmers and food industry leaders have been appointed to Governor Andrew Cuomo’s 10 new Regional Economic Development Councils, designed to help begin a new era in state economic development. “New York Farm Bureau is grateful to Gov. Cuomo and Lt. Gov. Duffy for including farmers and food industry leaders in the regional councils,” said Dean Norton, president of New York Farm Bureau. “This demonstrates the administration’s commitment to agriculture — a critical economic development and employment sector. “We have been saying all along that in order to revitalize New York’s economy, a good place to focus is on agriculture, which has been the backbone of our rural economy and Long Island for generations.” The regional councils, which will be chaired by Lt. Gov. Robert Duffy, represent an overhaul to New York’s approach to economic development. New York Farm Bureau supported the development of regional councils, believing that a regional model would assist local leaders and economic development professionals in focusing more attention to agriculture and food processing. New York Farm Bureau members, farmers and food industry leaders named to the committees include: • Duncan Ross, president, Arrowhead Spring Vineyards (Western New York)
• Tom Macinski, president, Standing Stone Winery (Finger Lakes) • John Noble, Synergy LLC (Finger Lakes) • Robert S. Sands, CEO, Constellation Brands, Inc. (Finger Lakes) • Danny Wegman, CEO, Wegmans Food Markets (Finger Lakes) • Dr. Kathryn Boor, dean, Cornell University College of Agricultural and Life Sciences (Southern Tier) • Michael Johnson, Johnson Brothers Lumber Company (Central New York) • Nancy Weber, president, Oswego County Farm Bureau; owner of Mexican Pride Farm (Central New York) • Ron Davis, plant manager, AgriMark/McCadam Cheese Company (North Country) • Jon Greenwood, dairy farmer/former vice president, New York Farm Bureau (North Country) • Richard Ball, owner, Schoharie Valley Farms/Carrot Barn (Mohawk Valley) • Nicholas Matt, Matt Brewing Company (Mohawk Valley) • Gary Dake, president, Stewart’s Shops (Capital District) • Todd Erling, executive director, Hudson Valley Agribusiness Development Corporation (Capital District) • Ken Kleinpeter, director of farm and facilities, Glynwood Farm (MidHudson) • Tom Endres, Continental Organics

Farmers from C14
(Mid-Hudson) • Paulette Satur, president, Satur Farms LLC (Long Island) Through a new consolidated funding application that combines resources from dozens of existing programs, the regional councils will apply for $1 billion in state funding for projects they determine to be part of their regional strategy. The councils will also bring together stakeholders in every region of the state to serve as a coordinated point of contact for economic development, matching the local knowledge of the community with the economic development goals of the region. Each regional council will develop a plan for the development of their region. The state will work
with the regional councils to align state resources and policies, eliminate unnecessary barriers to growth and prosperity, and streamline the delivery of government services and programs. “It’s unquestioned that the best way to make New York a more farm — and food — friendly state is to improve its business climate, and great progress was made this year by Gov. Cuomo and the State Legislature,” Dean Norton said. “But the formation of these regional councils — and the Governor’s focus on appointing farmer and food industry leaders — will reap significant benefits in the long-term by boosting the state’s anemic agricultural economic development.
Full Line of Agricultural Spray Materials Corn, Alfalfa & Grass Seeds Feed, Hay & Straw
“New York Farm Bureau looks forward to working, both regionally and on a statewide basis, with the governor and the Empire State Development Corporation to help grow New York’s farm and food economy.” Gov. Cuomo has also launched the Chairman’s Committee for the Regional Economic Development Councils, which will play a role in facilitating and coordinating the work of the regional councils. Julie Suarez, director of public policy for New York Farm Bureau, has been appointed by the governor to serve on the
Chairman’s Committee, along with other business and industry leaders. “I’m honored to serve on the Chairman’s Committee, and I truly look forward to working with the other members of the council,” said Suarez. “Representing the interests of our family farmers and food processors — who play such an integral role in New York’s overall economy — will be a key focus of mine. The emphasis the governor has placed on agriculture in the state’s economic development plans is refreshing, and I look forward to working on this committee.”
“Farmers look forward to contributing ideas to the Regional Economic Development Councils, which will help strength-
en New York’s role as a leader in food production and food processing,” Dean Norton said.

New York State Maple Tour registration deadline nears Registration deadline for the 2011 New York State Maple Tour is under a month away. This is a reminder that the deadline to register
for the New York State Maple Tour is now less than a month away. Producers need to register by Sept. 2 to assure a place on the buses and
seat at the table. The 2011 New York State Maple Tour is scheduled for Sept. 18, 19 and 20 and will be hosted by the Lewis County Maple
ORTEL SUPPLY INC. 877-496-5050 ARCADE, NEW YORK
Producers Association. It will be held in Jefferson and Lewis Counties, a very productive maple region in New York State. The tour opens with a reception, registration and tradeshow on Sunday afternoon on Sept. 18 at the Ridgeview Motor Lodge in Lowville. Monday evening will feature the annual Maple Tour Banquet at the Lowville Elks. On Monday and Tuesday, Sept. 19 and 20, the tour will feature visits to a variety of maple operations. We will visit some maple sugarhouses with very modern technologies and others that operate with
more traditional or even old fashioned practices, each attracting a following of customers. Both larger and smaller sugarhouses are included. We will be visiting one of the Cornell Sugarbush Thinning Plots. This plot allows maple producers to see the results of managed thinning in the sugarbush where the forest was thinned 40 percent and 20 percent to compare to where no thinning occurred. These plots were cut in 2006 so see what five growing seasons have done in this previously over stocked sugarbush. We will visit the North American Maple Museum;
see the improvements that have been added in the last couple of years along with the unique historical equipment and displays. A lunch time visit to the FFA camp Oswegatchie is also part of the fun. Sites include innovative wood handling practices, interesting marketing, energy saving technologies, restored antique tractors and unique sugarhouse designs. Tour stop information and registration materials are available at www.cornellmaple.com and www.nysmaple.com or call the Lewis County Cornell Cooperative Extension Office at 315-376-5270.

A Groundswell of opportunities for beginning farmers! Park Foundation awards $15,000 grant to the Groundswell Farm Enterprise Incubator ITHACA, NY — The Groundswell Center for Local Food & Farming is extremely pleased to announce that the Park Foundation has generously pledged $15,000 to help launch Groundswell’s Farm Enterprise Incubator. The Incubator, located at EcoVillage at Ithaca, will help provide new farmers with the land and the support they need to start their own farm enterprises. “There is a completely new generation of beginning farmers in our region who would like to provide our families, children, and the community with healthy, sustainably-grown food. However, these new farmers face a lot of challenges in accessing the land, resources, and learning experiences that are necessary to launch productive enterprises,” says Devon Van Noble, Groundswell Incubator Development Coordinator. “We would like to thank the Park Foundation for recognizing the importance of practical opportunities for beginning farmers to learn not only how to sustainably farm, but how to manage and grow a sustainable business.” A “Farm Incubator” is a land-based training program that provides beginning farmers with a low-risk, high-support avenue to try out a new agricultural venture. The Groundswell Farm Enterprise Incubator will offer affordable land, water, fencing, tractor services, and business development support to beginning farmers in our area. This year, the Park Foundation’s funding will help jump-start development of the on-site and organizational infrastructure of the Incubator. “As farmers, we can provide valuable apprenticeships to potential new farmers, but the Farm Enterprise Incubator project will give them the opportunity to use what they have learned and gain their own experience,” says Michael Glos of Kingbird Farm, one of Groundswell’s Mentor Farmers. “It’s great to see the Park Foundation and other
community members driving this project forward.” The Park Foundation’s support marks the second major grant Groundswell has received in the past two years. Since it inception in 2009, Groundswell has grown tremendously, launching the 8-week TC3 Groundswell Summer Practicum, the Finger Lakes CRAFT and
the Ithaca Crop Mob in 2010. A major 3-year grant from the USDA allowed Groundswell to develop its New Farmer Training Program to provide further on-farm training opportunities to aspiring farmers in 2011. The Park Foundation’s grant, along with other community support, will make it possible for Groundswell to launch another crucial
beginning farmer pathway, the Farm Enterprise Incubator. “This generous grant represents a challenge to the community to find additional innovative ways to support beginning farmers as they grow through the incubator program and develop their businesses in our community,” says

Highlights mobile food pantry as new method to distribute food items TRENTON, NJ — Emphasizing the need for food pantry donations 12 months a year, New Jersey Secretary of Agriculture Douglas H. Fisher on July 27 joined the Food Bank of South Jersey at St. Paul’s United Methodist Church in Thorofare for a local food distribution with the Hope Mobile, the food bank’s mobile food pantry. The Hope Mobile is an 18-wheel tractor trailer that regularly serves between 100 and 150 people at that site. “There are many areas
of the state where residents having trouble making ends meet do not have access to nutritious food,” said Secretary Fisher. “The Hope Mobile and others like it around the state are bringing the food directly to those in need and also providing fresh produce from New Jersey farmers during the summer months.” The Hope Mobile distributes to 15 sites monthly throughout Camden, Gloucester, Burlington and Salem Counties and reaches more than 21,000 families faced with food insecurity issues. To date, the Hope Mobile has distributed more than 156,000
pounds of food each month since it went on the road in July 2010. The tractor trailer used as the Hope Mobile can hold 45,000 pounds of food and also provides cooking classes, nutrition education, food stamp outreach and other services to improve nutrition and self-reliance. Summer traditionally is a time when food pantries report less donated food items to stock their shelves. “Hunger does not stop during the summer months,” said Secretary Fisher. “Food donations are needed throughout the year, so I encourage residents to organize

their own local food drives at work or in their neighborhood or to visit a food bank, food pantry or soup kitchen to drop off food items.” The Food Bank of South Jersey serves 170,000 people annually; nearly a third of that total is children. In 1985, the food bank distributed 175,000 pounds of food annually as compared to 9 million pounds distributed in 2010. The Department of Agriculture serves six state-contracted food banks with a network of 793 food pantries, soup kitchens and homeless shelters. In 2009, more than 20 million pounds of United States Department of Agriculture-donated food were distributed to the food banks through The Emergency Food Assistance Program and 7 million pounds through the State Food Purchase Program, the state-funded program that requires food banks to purchase nutrientdense foods with an emphasis on buying

It is essential that the incubation of new agricultural ventures be a truly “community supported” process, and Groundswell hopes that all members of our community will take an active role in providing for the long-term food security of our region.

New York confirms first case of Eastern Equine Encephalitis in horse The New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets (NYSDAM) confirms 2011’s first case of Eastern Equine Encephalitis, also known as EEE, in an Oneida County, New York horse. The 9 year old mare had lived at its current home for several years and had no recent travel history. The horse was unvaccinated. There is one other horse on the same premise that is not showing any signs of EEE, and which has since been vaccinated. Typical symptoms of encephalitis in equines include staggering, circling, depression, loss of appetite and sometimes fever and blindness. There is no cure for this disease, which has high mortality rates in horses. Humans cannot become infected by handling an infected horse, nor can a horse acquire the virus from another infected horse; however, the presence of an infected horse in the area indicates that mosquitoes carrying EEE are present and pose a threat to both humans and horses. Commissioner of Agri-
culture and Markets, Darrel J. Aubertine, reminds horse owners that West Nile Virus causes neurologic symptoms similar to EEE and is also spread by mosquitoes. Commissioner Aubertine urges all horse owners to discuss vaccination against both diseases with their veterinarian. State Veterinarian David Smith added that any horse exhibiting neurologic problems should always be handled with great caution. The risk of physical injury to handlers is greater when horses are unsteady on their feet and also rabies needs to be ruled out as a cause of the symptoms. Vaccines currently available drastically reduce the incidence of EEE in horses and are effective for six to 12 months, so horses should be re-vaccinated at least annually. In an area where the disease occurs frequently, most veterinarians recommend vaccination every six months. For the vaccine to be effective, it must be handled and administered properly
and ideally given at least two weeks before the horse is exposed to the virus. Additionally, to stimulate full immunity, horses must be vaccinated twice, about 30 days apart, the first year that the horse is vaccinated. While it’s best to have horses vaccinated well before potential exposure, vaccinating horses now will still provide protective benefits for this year’s mosquito season. Other prevention methods include destroying standing water breeding sites for mosquitoes, using insect repellents and removing animals from mosquitoinfested areas during peak biting times, usually dusk to dawn. Humans should reduce contact with mosquitoes. Wearing protective clothing and insect repellents and avoiding the outdoors during dawn and dusk are all ways to avoid mosquito bites.

education. The BVA’s “Guide to Local Farm Food,” will also be available. Colorful tee-shirts with the event’s logo will be sold by BVA, a non-profit organization, whose mission is to encourage the preservation and protection of the environmental qualities, farming and cultural heritage, economic viability, open space and village charms of the entire watershed. The sponsors of the festival, who are non-profit organizations with compatible missions, will also have informational tables. They include the Otsego Land Trust, Otsego 2000, Otsego County Conservation Association, and the Center for Agricultural Development and Entrepreneurship. The But-
ternut Valley Spinners will also be exhibiting. Elected state officials, including Senator James Seward, Assemblymen Peter Lopez and Bill Magee have been invited, as have county and municipal officials from Morris, Butternuts, New Lisbon, and Pittsfield. “We are pleased this event has been so successful and has become an annual calendar event for residents of the Butternut Valley. They have an opportunity to buy healthy and tasty local food, hear great music, see their friends and neighbors, and generally savor the pleasure of living in this valley,” said BVA president, Bob Eklund of New Lisbon.
Farm production expenses edge up in 2010 United States total farm production expenditures were $289 billion in 2010, up from the $287.4 billion in 2009 according to the Farm Production Expenditures 2010 summary released Aug. 2 by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS). This is in contrast to a fall of 6.4 percent for 2009 Total Expenditures when compared to 2008 Total Expenditures. Total expenditures for 2009 remain unchanged from a year ago. Expense items showing increases from the previous year were: Tractors & Self Propelled Machinery, up 17.2 percent, Rent, up 14.6 percent, Other Farm
Machinery, up 6.4 percent, Seeds & Plants, up 5.2 percent, Fertilizer, Lime, and Soil Conditioners, up 4.5 percent, Fuels, up 4.0 percent, Taxes, up 3.8 percent, Farm Supplies & Repairs, up 2.6 percent, and Feed, up 0.9 percent. Total Fuels Expense was $12.9 billion. Diesel, the largest sub-component, was $8.2 billion accounting for 63.2 percent. Diesel expenditures were up 13.2 percent in 2010. Gasoline was $2.6 billion, up 4.9 percent. LP Gas was $1.5 billion, down 24.9 percent. Other fuels were $700 million, down 10.0 percent. The four largest expenditures at the United States level totaled

with $131,137 in 2009, an increase of 0.5 percent. On average, United States farm operations spent: $20,705 on Feed, $16,281 on Farm Services, $12,496 on Labor, $11,812 on Rent, and $11,128 on Livestock and Poultry Purchases. For 2009, United States farms spent an average
of: $20,533 on Feed, $16,609 on Farm Services, $13,141 on Labor, $11,818 on Livestock and Poultry Purchases, and $10,312 on Rent. The Farm Production Expenditures summary provides the official estimates for production input costs on U.S. farms and ranches. These esti-
mates are based on the results of the nationwide Agricultural Resource Management Survey, conducted annually by NASS. The Farm Production Expenditures 2010 summary and all NASS reports are available online at www.nass. usda.gov.
by Arden Tewksbury, Manager, Progressive Agriculture Organization On July 21, U.S. Senator Robert P. Casey, Jr. (D-PA) urged President Obama to maintain a strong position against unfair trading practices which work to the detriment of all United States of America dairy farmers. Senator Casey is concerned that present ne-
gotiations going on with the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) could leave Pennsylvania and many other United States dairy farmers in an unfair disadvantage regarding trading dairy products. The free trade negotiations (which should be FAIR trade) appear to be leaving our American dairy farmers holding the bag.
Reportedly, approximately 80 to 85 percent of New Zealand’s milk production is exported in milk products to various countries, including the USA. Casein and milk protein concentrate (MPC) appear to be two of the main products imported into the USA. Thirty years ago we worked, with the former U.S. Senator Arlen
Specter from Pennsylvania, attempting to curtail the amount of casein coming in the USA. Casein can be used for industrial use (non-food), and it is also used in food products in the USA. One of the main uses for casein is in the manufacturing of imitation dairy products. This practice has always raised the dander of many United

States dairy farmers. Reportedly, milk protein concentrate is used in hundreds of food products, but some people claim MPC is DUMPED into cheese vats to extend the yield of cheese from 100 pounds of milk. I certainly applaud Senator Casey’s efforts on behalf of all American dairy farmers. However, at the same

time we publicly urge Senator Casey to take the lead in having the former Specter -Casey bill reintroduced in the U.S. Senate. The new proposal, identified as the Federal Milk Marketing Improvement Act of 2011, has been reported out of the Senate Legislative Counsel and is now in proper form waiting to be introduced in the U.S. Senate. The proposal supports what Senator Casey alludes to with the problems with the present TPP trade agreement. The new proposal, like the former Specter Casey bill, is the only proposed legislation that determined the value of raw milk at the farm level. This is accomplished by using the National Average Cost of Production as determined by the Economic Research Service of the United States Department of Agriculture. The current proposal clearly illustrates the profitable margin that dairy farmers can receive, without any government funds! Again I want to congratulate our friend Senator Casey regarding the trade agreements. However, again we urge the Senator to take the immediate lead in introducing the Federal Milk Marketing Improvement Act of 2011. Thousands of dairy farmers and scores of thousands of consumers are supporting a new pricing formula for dairy farmers based on their cost of production.

Sunny summer will bring sweeter apples FISHERS, NY — Apples and cider will be super sweet this year. That is the consensus of state apple growers of the crop that got off to a wet start last spring but has been basking in sun all summer. The abundance of sun means apples will have higher sugar content. Sunshine generates higher sugar levels in apples — known as brix levels. “Sunny weather means sweeter fruit, and happy apple eaters,” said Jim Allen, president of the New York Apple Association. “New York is going to have a strong, tasty crop and we are going to have plenty of our apples in the marketplace before anyone else,” he said. “Consumers are going to be delighted with our quality this year,” Allen said. The annual NYAA crop prediction is determined by a consensus of growers representing six apple growing districts throughout the state. The crop consensus was reached during a conference call held on July 28. Consumers should be seeing fresh-picked local apples in the next couple weeks in some lower Hudson Valley locations. Orchards in other parts of the state will have fresh crop apples later in August. The season will get underway in earnest in early September when the McIntosh variety is picked. The harvest will last through late October or early November. The crop is pretty much right on time, despite a slower start to bloom in the spring due to heavy rains, growers said. New York apple growers predict the statewide crop will be at or near last year’s crop size of approximately 30.3 million bushels. That number will still easily keep New York ranked second in apple production nationwide, behind Washington State. Early season vari-
eties, like Jersey Mac and Tydeman will be the first apples off the tree. Later in August, growers will pick Ginger Gold and Paula Red, sometimes called “The Girls of Summer.” The McIntosh harvest, considered the traditional “kick off” to the apple season, will begin in early Septem-
ber in most regions, a little later in the Lake Champlain area. High demand for ‘home grown’ fruit is driving consumers to fresh New York apples in bigger numbers t han ever before, according to retailers and growers. More and more data from the world’s top re-
search institutions are proving that apples really do help keep the doctor away, which is also helping move apples off the produce shelves in record numbers. “Apples are a tasty and convenient way for families to enjoy a healthy snack,” Allen said.
The state’s crop of traditional varieties like McIntosh and Empire look promising, growers said. Popular varieties like Honeycrisp, Gala and Cortland also look good. The 5-year official crop numbers in New York: 2010: 30.3 million bushels
2009: 32.8 million bushels 2008: 29.8 million bushels 2007: 31.1 million bushels 2006: 29.7 million bushels New York State grows apples on 50,370 acres. The state ranks second in the nation in apple production.

ardous waste and therefore farmers could be prosecuted under the Superfund law. The courts in Oklahoma did not rule in favor of this lawsuit although certain aspects of the lawsuit are still pending. When Congress passed the Superfund law in the mid-1980’s animal manure was never considered as a potential hazardous waste. The purpose of the Superfund law, as you know, was to clean up toxic waste dumps that contained
chemicals and other hazardous materials. Animal manure is simply not a hazardous waste. Congress did not exempt animal manure from the Superfund law because no Members of Congress at that time ever considered that animal manure could be brought under the Superfund umbrella. So here we are again. We will keep you posted on any further developments on this issue. Source: NDFC E-letter for July 29

Questions on crops, soils and conservation answered at Ag Progress Days UNIVERSITY PARK, PA — Folks with questions about managing their crops or forest can get answers at the Crops, Soils and Conservation Tent at Penn State’s Ag Progress Days, Aug. 16-18. Visitors to the crops and soils area also can take the “Weed ID” quiz and bring weeds with them for the experts to identify. “You can get advice on crop-management issues, such as crop and variety selection, when to crop scout, and how much manure or fertilizer you should apply, to name just a few,” said Sjoerd Duiker, associate professor of soil management. Cover crops are being investigated and promoted vigorously by Penn State Extension. Cover crops are a crucial component in maintaining soil, water and air quality in high-yield agriculture, noted Duiker. Planting mixtures of cover crops to serve several objectives is a new development, and visitors can see several cover-crop mixtures planted next to the corn maze at the Crops and Soils Tent. Penn State Extension educators will join farmer board members of the Pennsylvania Notill Alliance to answer questions about no-till farming, establishing and managing cover crops, adjusting and outfitting planters and drills, and how no-till farmers can be more successful. There is also great interest in sustainable and organic agriculture as Pennsylvania producers continue to move toward greater sustainability on their farms, according to Duiker. “Come visit with the experts at Penn State, the Pennsylvania Association for Sustainable Agriculture and Pennsylvania Certified Organic about what you are doing or would like to do in your farming operation,” he said. Other attractions at the Crops, Soils and Conservation Tent include: • Growing forages and the Hay Show: Growing quality forages is key to raising productive and healthy cattle, sheep, goats, horses and other livestock on your farm, noted Duiker. “Penn State and Pennsylvania Forage and Grassland Council
experts will be on hand to answer your alfalfa, timothy, orchardgrass, pasture and other forage questions,” he said. “Think you have quality hay? Bring it along and enter it in the 2011 Hay Show, and maybe take home a ribbon.” • Websoilsurvey: The Natural Resources Conservation Service Soil Survey Division will demonstrate how to use the nation’s online source of soils informa-
tion. Learn how to generate a soil map of your farm or parcel of land and how to access this wealth of information. • Stream Restoration: The Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission will have an exhibit with information about stream-restoration projects that will also include live fish, snakes and turtles on display during all three days of the show. • Conservation: The
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers will promote the conservation of wetlands and restoration and protection of stream channels in agricultural settings. The corps also will offer information about its recreational facilities, such as Raystown Lake. • Stream Buffers and Native Prairie Grasses: Pennsylvania Conservation Districts will offer a presentation titled “What is a Riparian Buffer?” that will show how
buffers enhance property and improve water quality. The one-hour tour, which will be offered daily at 11:30 a.m., will highlight the benefits of forested and grassed stream buffers as well as how to install and maintain them. “Again this year, we will see a prairie grass demonstration and learn how to establish and maintain native grasses with wildflowers for wildlife habitat,
biofuels and more,” said Duiker. “We will have demonstration plots of native grasses, native wildflowers, grazing forages and plants bearing food for wildlife.” For more information, visit the Ag Progress Days Web site at http://apd.psu.edu.

UNIVERSITY PARK, PA — The recently enlarged and renovated Pasto Agricultural Museum — which will be formally dedicated at Penn State’s 2011 Ag Progress Days — will provide visitors with an even clearer glimpse into farming’s past. Offering exhibits highlighting the history of agriculture and rural life, the now 8,400-square-foot facility showcases an intriguing collection of artifacts. It is located on East 10th Street near the top of Main Street on the Ag Progress Days site. During this year’s event, Bruce McPheron, dean of the College of Agricultural Sciences, will honor donors who gave significantly to the drive to improve the facility. “The campaign funded the expansion, which added 5,000 square feet to the existing museum, allowing us to present a more sophisticated educational experience,” he said. “The project has helped to provide a more com-
prehensive view, to a larger audience, of the era when energy for work was supplied by the power of humans and domesticated animals.” The approximately 1,300 items in the collection are concentrated in the time period between 1775 and 1940, although the assemblage of objects spans 6,000 years, or from 4,000 B.C. to the 1940s, noted Rita Graef, who recently was named curator of the Pasto Museum. “Our emphasis is to provide visibility for early technological developments in agriculture between 1775 and 1940,” she said. “The mission of the Pasto Agricultural Museum is to provide the general public with an understanding and appreciation for early agriculture and rural life, especially in Pennsylvania and the northeastern United States. “The enlarged and renovated museum building allows enhanced educational programming to reach this
aim,” she added. Graef brings a wealth of experience to the curator position. She came to Penn State in 1999 as a client-development manager responsible for representing the portfolio of Outreach and Cooperative Extension programs to companies and associations. Prior to joining the university she served as product manager for InterMetro, a leading manufacturer of material handling, storage and transport products for food service, health care and industry. There, she was responsible for developing products and marketing to diverse audiences. She also worked as a design manager and representative for Designship, a product-development consulting firm, and as an industrial designer for Lutron Electronics, premier manufacturer of architectural lighting-control systems, where she developed user interfaces, products and marketing materials.
Graef has served as volunteer exhibit designer for the Mercer Museum, Doylestown, and designed several museum exhibits and graphic materials. The Mercer Museum includes almost 30,000 items, ranging from hand tools to horse-drawn vehicles, assembled in an encyclopedic collection of pre-Industrial Revolution tools and trades. Central Pennsylvania 4th Fest benefits from her work as volunteer cochair of celebrations — ensuring that music, food and activities fill the day for more than 70,000 visitors while they await the fireworks.

Field demonstrations, commercial exhibits highlight business side of Ag Progress Days UNIVERSITY PARK, PA — Demonstrations of the latest agricultural technology and machinery will highlight the commercial portion of Penn State’s Ag Progress Days exposition, Aug. 16-18 at Rock Springs. New field demonstrations this year will feature equipment used in corn chopping, planting of cover crops and overseeding standing corn with cover crops. An integral part of notill systems, cover crops are a crucial component in maintaining soil, water and air quality in high-yield agriculture, noted Sjoerd Duiker, associate professor of soil management in the College of Agricultural Sciences. “Planting mixtures of cover crops to serve several objectives is a relatively new development,” he said. Visitors can see more than 10 cover crop mix-
tures suitable for various purposes, such as providing forage for livestock and feedstocks for biofuel production. Machinery demonstrations will include cover-crop drills and precision cover crop seeders. Demonstrations also will feature a cover crop interseeder developed by Penn State agricultural scientists. Farmers using this technology may eventually need only a single trip across the field to accomplish what takes most farmers three passes and several pieces of equipment to do. “It can do three things in one pass,” said Gregory Roth, professor of agronomy. “It can seed the cover crop, add fertilizer and spray an herbicide to kill emerged weeds.” Pennsylvania farmers are increasingly interested in growing cover
crops, but the time, cost and late-fall harvest of corn and other crops often limit their use, Roth said. The seeder can help farmers — especially small operations — save time and money by condensing multiple tasks into one trip through a notill field. Returning machinery demonstrations will feature hay mowing, hay rakes and tedders, hay baling and bale handling. All demonstrations are weatherpermitting. In addition to the demonstrations, more than 430 commercial and noncommercial exhibitors are expected at the event, according to Bob Oberheim, Ag Progress Days manager. “There are very few places you can go to see and learn about the full
range of goods and services that support our agricultural industry,” Oberheim said. “It’s a real time-saver for producers to be able to spend just a single day evaluating and comparing the products they need to remain efficient, productive and competitive.” Vendors will display and explain such products as crop-production machinery, dairy equipment, animal housing, feed, seed, fertilizer, banking, insurance, crop consulting services and many other categories. Oberheim pointed out that Ag Progress Days also is an opportunity for producers to ask questions of Penn State faculty specialists, extension educators and other experts and to keep tabs on the latest research
findings, best practices and governmental regulations that could affect their operations. “Agriculture is a knowledge-intensive business, and if you don’t stay current and adapt to trends and changes in technology and regulations, you’re going to fall behind pretty quickly,” he said, noting that information will be available on issues related to dairy, livestock and crop production; animal health; soil conservation; water quality; and sources of ag renewable energy such as biogas, biodiesel and ethanol. Visitors also will learn about the hazards of tractor overturns and how to reduce the risks at the Farm Safety Demonstration Area. Safety specialists will offer farm accident res-
cue simulations involving agricultural equipment, including demonstrations of emergency scene stabilization and patient-extrication techniques. And attendees can get information about several types of farm-safety programs and agricultural emergency-response resources. In addition, horse enthusiasts and owners also can get the latest information on tack and equipment, training, handling, health and business practices at the Ag Progress Days Equine Experience.

UNIVERSITY PARK, PA — Springtime excessive rainfall followed by summertime drought means Pennsylvania dairy producers are facing big challenges in corn silage production that extend beyond a decrease in its nutritional value. “We’ve received a lot of calls from producers and nutritionists about how to deal with this year’s corn silage,” notes Virginia Ishler, nutrient management specialist with the Penn State Extension Dairy Team and manager of the Penn State Dairy Research Complex. From a nutritional standpoint, corn silage without ears is similar to feeding grass silage, explains Ishler. This coupled with low-quality hay crop forage means energy will be the biggest limiting factor from a nutritional standpoint. But the implications of this year’s poor corn crop go beyond nutrition.

Penn State recommendations for managing profitability with poor corn crop

means potential lower inventories of forages, corn and beans. This will likely translate into high prices and a volatile market, which will affect overall farm profitability. Ishler warns there is no one-step approach to ensuring profitability while facing the dual challenge of poor nutritional value and decreased quantity. “It is not going to come down to formulating a particular ration to solve the problem; there is a lot more involved,” she says, adding: “I know producers want that easy ‘one thing I can do’ approach, but it’s more complicated than that.” Ishler and the Penn State Extension Dairy Team recommend producers take the following steps to meet the challenges of low quality and limited quantity: Determine need and inventory: Have your nutritionist work rations for all animal groups and evaluate whole farm feed inventory. Producers need to know now what they have and plan accordingly for any forage purchases or contracting feed. If dairies wait until
February or March of 2012 to purchase forages, they either won’t be available or the prices will be very high. “Prices that reach $70-80 per ton for corn silage have the potential to put producers out of business, especially if they are still trying to pay off bills from 2009 and 2010,” warns Ishler. Track income over feed cost: Dairies must track Income Over Feed Cost (IOFC) because it is going to be more expensive to produce milk. Monitoring IOFC lets dairies determine if producing less milk is more economical than trying to get milk out of low-quality feeds or having to purchase a lot of feed. Currently some herds are close to $8 per cow feed cost and they will be in trouble if milk prices drop. Dairies need to know their breakeven margin, which means knowing their IOFC. Scrutinize byproducts More byproduct feeds are going to come into the picture. This means more variability and sometimes questionable quality, which may
result in paying a lot for inferior quality feeds. Quality control and testing of byproducts are critical. “People are asking for blanket recommendations on feeding this year’s corn silage, but it really depends on what else the farm has to feed, the feed company they are working with, and the feed options available to them,” explains Ishler. “The bottom line is having a cash flow plan for your dairy that addresses IOFC and includes a feed and crops inventory.” The Penn State Extension Dairy Team can help dairies calculate IOFC. Producers may contact their local Extension dairy educator; the Penn State Extension Dairy Team, tollfree, at 888-373-7232; or visit the Penn State Income Over Feed Cost Tool Web site at www.das.psu.edu/dairy -alliance/resources/income-over-feed-cost-tool For more information on cash flow planning, visit the Penn State cash flow planning Web site at www.das.psu.edu/dairyalliance/education/profitability.

Agritourism safety guidelines updated Peak season has arrived for agritourism and all its farm tours, u-pick produce, hay rides, petting zoos, festivals and hands-on chores. To help operators prepare for safe
and positive visits, the National Children’s Center for Rural and Agricultural Health and Safety has enhanced its, “Agritourism Health and Safety Guidelines for Children.”
The second edition of the guidelines is supplemented by two checklist publications designed to help operators plan and prepare for visitors, especially children: “Policies and Procedures Guide” and the “Worksite Guide.” All resources are available at www.marshfieldclinic.org/agritourism The guidelines were originally published in 2007. New content includes an updated child development/appropriate safety strategies chart, as well as recommendations regarding Americans with Disabilities Act, food preparation, restrooms, drinking water testing, inspections of animal ar-
eas, veterinary and vaccination records, and signage. Implementation of these guidelines is not intended to absolve the farm owner of liability. They are, however, intended to reduce the risk of a guest being injured and demonstrate a “good faith” effort to protect guests. An agritourism farm in North Carolina implemented many elements of the guidelines and then worked with a local insurance agency to reduce annual liability insurance premiums by $300. To learn more about liability insurance, consult an insurance agent and/or an attorney who is familiar with this type of activity.

Turning your $1-per-head assessments into opportunities It was 1986: A gallon of gas cost 89 cents; a pound of ground beef cost about $1.29 at retail; a movie ticket was $3.71; the average price of the average monthly rent was $385; the average price of a home was $89,430; and the national Beef Checkoff Program went into effect at $1-per-head. Fast forward to 2011: Today, a gallon of gas will set you back an average of $3.26; the average price for a pound of ground beef is $3.87; a movie ticket costs about $8.50; the average monthly rent is $812; the average price of a home is $303,713; and the $1-per-head national beef checkoff is wrapping up its first 25 years of serving as a catalyst to

spur strong beef sales worldwide. Today, beef is the No. 1 selling protein in restaurants, in particular, and in the United States, in general, with consumer spending on beef totaling $73.4 million in 2010. And more than 85 percent of consumers know the industry’s “Beef. It’s What’s for Dinner” slogan, currently serving as the base of the Beef Checkoff Program. For certain, walking through the 25year history of the beef industry will take you down some rocky roads, as well as highlight some clear paths to growth, all en route to a beef industry that you’ll be proud to pass on to the next generation.

Snyder is the pioneer of rotationally-molded polyethylene ag tanks. For more than fifteen years, farmers and ag chemical dealers have been choosing Snyder for their liquid handling systems. We’ve designed, molded and sold more tanks for agricultural use than any other polyethylene tank manufacturer in North America.
Snyder rotationally molds tanks from ultra-high quality cross-linked polyolefin or tough, linear polyethylene resins for a stronger, longer lasting tank. When you’re seriously looking into ag tanks, you’ll see the obvious weight and maintenance advantages of polyethylene and the advantages of Snyder’s rotational molding process.

Let’s start by talking about beef demand. While building demand for beef clearly is one of the goals of the checkoff, that goal often is misunderstood. That’s because beef demand is commonly confused with beef consumption, though the two are very different indeed. In fact, beef consumption actually can drop in concert with beef demand increasing, if consumers are willing to pay more for their favorite protein. In reality, per capita consumption is best seen as a “disappearance” number. As agricultural economist Dr. Wayne Purcell explains: “Add beginning inventories and production to imports, then subtract ending inventories, exports and disappearance, and divide by population.” As a disappearance number, we “consumed” an estimated 59.7 pounds of beef per capita in the U.S. in 2010, for example, because that is how much beef we had in the U.S. But that number has a lot to do with supply and availability — and little, if anything, to do with demand. Instead, beef demand is the set of quantities of beef that consumers will purchase at different prices. If, for example, we have a quantity of 59.7 pounds of beef per capita to sell, it is price that will adjust to clear the market — and the price that consumers are willing to pay will depend on how much consumers like the product offerings, as well as the price of other meats, and consumer income levels. A correlation might help: Some years, a vehicle manufacturer builds too many pickups and, as the model year nears its end, they offer huge discounts to get them off the lots. All of the current year pickups will be sold, or consumed, but we certainly would not say the demand for that manufacturer’s pickups is ro-
bust when the prices have to be cut in half to get them sold. Similarly, if you are a purebred breeder and seller of bulls, is there not a problem with demand if the only way you can sell as many bulls as last year is at a 20-percent decline in price? If we use consumption as a measure of demand, we ignore the desirability of what we offer — and we go, as we did for nearly 20 years, Purcell said, with an unacceptable product offering where up to 25 percent of the steaks and roasts from Choice beef were too tough to chew. Demand will only be forthcoming, Purcell says, as we understand demand and offer consumers what they want in the form of a continuing series of new quality-controlled products. There simply has to be a consumer-level willingness to pay that supports and finances all this progressive change over time. That’s where your Beef Checkoff Program comes in. “So What has My Beef Checkoff Done For Me Lately?” With that understanding of beef demand under your belt, you’ll quickly realize that your checkoff cannot singlehandedly change a bad market, but instead is meant to act as a catalyst for other industry players to help sell beef. That said, producers and importers often ask what they get for their checkoff dollar, and that is one of the reasons that the checkoff reports results of individual programs on a regular basis to keep all checkoff investors informed. But with 25 years of success stories to tell, we’d like to go through some highlights in each program area – promotion, research, consumer information, industry information, and foreign marketing — more in-depth.

Biodiesel achieves stunning 5-to-1 return on fossil energy New study shows America’s Advanced Biofuel has sharp upward trend in energy efficiency Americans can feel more confident than ever in biodiesel’s ability to meet today’s energy needs without sacrificing the ability of future generations to do the same. A new study shows production continues to be astonishingly energy-efficient in making biodiesel for diesel vehicles and home heating, demonstrating its long-term sustainability. Newly published research from the University of Idaho and U.S. Department of Agriculture shows that for every unit of fossil energy needed to produce biodiesel, the return is 5.54 units of renewable energy. This energyin, energy-out ratio is called “energy balance” or “fossil energy ratio.” “This study shows the clear trend that biodiesel production continues to improve when it comes to efficient use of resources,” said Don Scott, director of sustainability for the National Biodiesel Board. “No other fuel available in the U.S. comes close to such a high energy balance.” Scott noted the most recent data available for this study was from 2006. “Using data from 2009 or 2010 would likely show an even greater gain in energy efficiency,” he said. Biodiesel, made from agricultural coproducts and byproducts, has always had a relatively high energy balance. This is partly because the main energy source used to grow crops is the sun, which is “free energy.” The U.S. Department of Energy and
USDA completed the first comprehensive lifecycle assessment for biodiesel produced in the U.S. in 1998. That study found a 3.2-to-1 energy balance. The energy inventory for this analysis was updated in 2009 using 2002 data, finding the ratio had improved to 4.56-to-1. In the new study, three things are primarily responsible for the leap in biodiesel’s energy balance number: 1. New data from USDA and the National Biodiesel Board show that soybean crushing facilities and biodiesel production plants have become increasingly energy efficient 2. Soybean farmers have adopted energy-saving farm practices, such has minimum tillage 3. Increases in soybean yields “In addition to improved energy efficiency at processing facilities, soybean growers have accomplished greater yields with lower inputs of water and fertilizer per bushel, even as cropland has declined,” said Jim Duffield, USDA senior agricultural economist, who coauthored all three life cycle analysis studies. “Biodiesel deserves some credit for this progress — the demand it creates is helping to drive the new technologies that make American agriculture more efficient.” Specifically, in comparison to the 2009 study, the new study finds: • The energy input in soybean agriculture was reduced by 52 percent • The energy input in soybean pro-
cessing was reduced by 58 percent • The energy input in biodiesel production (transesterification) was reduced by 33 percent, per unit volume of biodiesel produced • Overall, the energy input reduction was 42 percent for the same amount of biodiesel produced • The addition of secondary inputs, such as farm machinery and building
materials, did not have a significant effect on the fossil energy ratio Biodiesel is a diverse fuel made from a wide variety of agricultural byproducts and co-products. Its powerful greenhouse gas reductions compared to petroleum diesel make it the nation’s only commercially available, advanced biofuel produced in the U.S.

Many rural schools begin welcoming students back for the new academic year this month and the U.S. Department of Education announced that it will hold events and engage in outreach efforts throughout August to help promote the strengths, opportunities, and challenges in rural education. Ongoing efforts will include highlighting the work of teachers and
students in rural areas on the Department’s new Web page at www.ed.gov/rural-education. In addition, Department officials will participate in White House Rural Council roundtable discussions in several states and hold meetings at the Department’s headquarters in D.C. to continue learning from rural students, teachers, and researchers.
“Rural schools are critically important to our nation’s future prosperity,” said U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan. “As we prepare for the new school year, it is important to recognize the unique opportunities and challenges in rural schools and communities. Our nation needs the skills and talents of rural children and adults. More rural students need to access col-
lege and career training beyond high school to meet the needs of their local economies.” According to the National Center for Education Statistics, more than half of public school districts (56 percent), nearly one third (31 percent) of public schools and almost a quarter of students (23 percent or 11.3 million) reside in rural communities. Class sizes are gen-
erally small, rural schools are often the centers of community life, and overall high school graduation rates are high in many rural areas. However, rural students are less likely than their peers nationally to access postsecondary education. Even in some rural areas that have lost population and industry, there are businesses with unfilled jobs and
economic opportunities that require additional skilled workers. The Administration believes that as a nation, we must educate our way to a better economy and rural schools and communities can capitalize on these opportunities.
Auxiliary heifer auction raises funds The 2011 Auxiliary heifer auction at the AllAmerican Angus Breeders’ Futurity, June 19 in Louisville, KY, raised $6,000 for the American Auxiliary scholarship fund. The heifer, O’Neill’s Eraline 259 (reg. no. 16717542) donated by Jim and Ardyce O’Neill of O’Neill Angus Farm, Logan, Iowa, sold for $6,000 to high bidder Greg Buie, Copan, OK. “The heifer was a good fit for my program and I knew the money would go to a good cause,” Buie said. Buie has just transitioned to the Angus breed and said the heifer will help expand his herd with quality genetics. He also toured the O’Neill facility before and after the sale, traveling more than 700 miles. “I know buying the heifer was the right thing to do because O’Neill Angus Farm is more than quality Angus cattle — Jim and Ardyce are generous and honest people wanting to make a difference,” Buie said. American Angus Auxiliary President Barbara Ettredge said, “The Auxiliary is grateful to Mr. Buie and all other individuals who realize the importance of our scholarship program.” “The success of the fundraiser is attributed to the dedication and hard work of everyone who had a hand in organizing, promoting and bringing the project to fruition.” The Auxiliary hopes to continue the project for many years and is beginning work for next year’s heifer auction. “After a 15-year absence, the fundraiser was a success, and the Auxiliary is excited about the funds raised,” Ettredge said. The proceeds from the fundraiser will go toward the Auxiliary’s scholarship fund managed by the Angus Foundation. Each spring, the Auxiliary reviews the scholarship fund activity and determines scholarship amounts. Visit www.angusauxiliary.com to learn more about the American Angus Auxiliary.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Landi McFarland, a fourth-generation Angus breeder from Ellston, Iowa, was one of more than 50 young cattlemen and women selected to participate in the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association (NCBA) 32nd Young Cattlemen’s Conference (YCC). The YCC program is a comprehensive, nationwide tour of beef industry sectors, created to enhance leadership skills in young beef industry professionals. Dave Mullins, former regional manager for the American Angus Association, also participated in YCC after being selected by his fellow producers to participate in the 2011 class. “YCC is a prestigious and competitive program designed to foster the future leadership of our industry,” said Forrest Roberts, NCBA chief ex-
ecutive officer. “The participants selected to attend YCC were chosen because of their exceptional contributions to the beef industry and their potential to be a strong voice in our future development. I look forward to seeing them take an increased leadership role within NCBA and the beef industry.” McFarland is an Iowa State University graduate who has been involved with the daily activities of her family’s operation, Hoover Angus Farm, her entire life. Hoover Angus Farm is one of Iowa’s largest purebred herds with 400 cows. McFarland manages the farm’s annual production sale and coordinates several other aspects of the operation such as breeding, genetic evaluations, herd sire selection and customer relations. She also has a passion
for being a positive advocate and spokesperson for agriculture. Her favorite industry organizations are the American Angus Association, Certified Angus Beef LLC, Iowa Cattlemen’s Association and Farm Bureau. McFarland said YCC was an opportunity to learn more about the issues facing the beef industry in order to become a better advocate back home. Mullins grew up in Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley on a small cow-calf and sheep operation. After completing two years at junior college where he served on a nationally competitive livestock judging team, he transferred to Virginia Tech and completed a degree in agricultural economics in 2001. He is currently working toward a graduate degree in agricultural extension and education through Vir-
ginia Tech. He served as regional manager for the Association from 2003-2011, covering Virginia, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Maryland and the New England states. “This was a tremendous opportunity to learn every aspect of the beef production chain,” he said. “I feel more prepared to address the challenges facing our industry after having gone through this program.” The eight-day tour began at NCBA headquarters in Denver, CO, where participants were given an organizational overview of NCBA and the Beef Checkoff Program. While in Denver, the group also heard from representatives of CattleFax and the U.S. Meat Export Federation. They toured a new Safeway retail store and learned about Rancher’s Reserve brand beef mar-
keting efforts. The group spent a day in Greeley, CO, visiting JBS Five Rivers feed yards and processing facilities. “It is really important for the participants to see the range of beef production — from a cow/calf ranch to a feedlot and a processing plant,” Mullins said. “It drives home the point that our industry, though composed of many sectors, is ultimately interconnected in our efforts to produce wholesome and nutritious beef.” In Chicago, YCC participants met with the senior management of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange at the Chicago Board of Trade. They had the chance to watch the activity on the trading floor and witness futures trading firsthand. Participants also visited Otto & Sons Industries, a family-owned compa-
ny providing quality products and custom solutions for the food industry since 1909. This tour offered a view of how boxed beef is turned into custom order portions for both major restaurant chains and some of the nation’s top steakhouses. The group then traveled to Washington, D.C., where participants were greeted at a reception hosted by John Deere. The following morning, the group received an issues briefing from NCBA’s government affairs staff about policy issues currently facing the cattle industry. Later in the day, these future leaders were given the opportunity to visit one-on-one with members of their state’s congressional delegation, expressing their viewpoints regarding the beef industry and their cattle operations. During their congressional visits, participants focused on issues including the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s proposed rule on livestock and poultry marketing, trade and overreaching regulations proposed by the Environmental Protection Agency. The group then traveled to Aldie, VA, for a tour and barbecue at Whitestone Farms, one of the nation’s elite purebred Angus operations. For more information on the YCC program or to nominate someone for next year’s tour, contact your state cattlemen’s association or Marvin Kokes at 303-850-3339 or mkokes@beef.org.

Farm health, safety featured at Ag Progress Days UNIVERSITY PARK, PA — Visitors to Penn State’s Ag Progress Days on Aug. 16-18 can learn about the hazards of tractor overturns, and how to reduce the risks of them happening. Addressing the health and safety of farmers, Ag Progress Days will also feature farm accident rescue simulations involving agricultural equipment, including demonstration of emergency scene stabilization and patient-extrication techniques. And attendees can get information about several types of farm-safety programs and agricultural emergency response resources from on-site specialists. All of this will be available at the Farm Safety Demonstration Area and adjacent Agricultural Safety and Health Tent at the end of West 8th Street. Specialists will demonstrate tractor overturn hazards and tractor-safety practices Tuesday and Thursday at 10:30 a.m., 12:30 p.m. and 2:30 p.m. Farm accident rescue simulations involving agricultural equipment, including demonstration of emergency scene stabilization and patient-extrication techniques, will occur Wednesday at about 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. Tractor overturns are the numberone killer of farmers in Pennsylvania, according to Dennis Murphy, Distinguished Professor of Agricultural Safety and Health and coordinator of the farm safety area at Ag Progress Days. “Farmers won’t want to miss these demonstrations,” he said. “And we will have our tractor stability simulator there, too. It’s a new demonstration that will allow people to sit in a tractor cab and be tilted to get some experience with side angles and get a feeling for tipping sideways.” Visitors to the farm safety area will be able to take advantage of a variety of health screenings and information. In the AgrAbility and Rural Health tent at the end of West 6th Street, next to the farm safety demonstration area, visitors can learn how AgrAbility services
help families to continue to farm despite a disability or long-term health condition. The following free health screenings will be offered: vision screenings and blood pressure readings daily from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. On Wednesday only, free tetanus shots will be given while supplies last. One core pesticide credit can be earned by attending a 30-minute presentation about personal protective equipment by a rural health farm worker protection safety specialist at 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. daily. The farm safety and health quiz bowl will be held Wednesday in a tent on West 9th Street. FFA youth compete at 9 a.m., and 4-H youth compete at 1 p.m. “Youth will answer farm safety and health questions in this semi-final quiz bowl event,” said Murphy. “The winning teams will advance to the state finals in January at the Pennsylvania Farm Show.” Also, the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture Farm Safety and Occupational Health Advisory Board will meet at 6 p.m. on Wednesday, Aug. 18, in the quiz bowl tent. The public is welcome. For more information, visit the Ag Progress Days website at http://apd.psu.edu. Twitter users can find and share information about the event by using the hashtag #agprogress.

Juniors participate in 2011 NJAS Carcass Steer Contest. A total of 16 Angus juniors entered 21 steers in the 2011 National Junior Angus Show (NJAS) Carcass Contest, July 12 in Harrisburg, PA. Contest sponsor, Dr. Curtis Long of Briarwood Angus Farms, Butler, MO, says the carcass contest teaches juniors what they are raising — quality Angus beef. The contest was established in 1985 in an effort to increase awareness among Angus juniors of the important role that Angus cattle play in the beef industry. To emphasize the contest’s significance, cash prizes for the top 10 entries are supported by Long and his wife, Ann, through their permanent endowment fund administered by the Angus Foundation. “Participants need to know the results of their cattle, so they can learn,
go home and make a better product for the consumer,” Long said. The steers were harvested at JBS, Souderton, PA, and carcass data was collected by USDA graders. The data was then sent to CAB headquarters, Wooster, Ohio, and tabulated. After evaluation, nine steers qualified for Certified Angus Beef®. Cattle meeting Certified Angus Beef® (CAB) carcass specifications received an additional 25 percent in premiums. Entries meeting the contest’s Angus Herd Improvement Records (AHIR®) requirements also received a 25 percent premium. “The contest ranks the steers using a very real-world fed cattle pricing grid,” said Mark McCully, CAB assistant vice president of supply development. “This grid represents the pre-
miums and discounts that cattle feeders market their fed cattle on every day. In the end, the highest-ranking carcasses in the contest would be the same carcasses that bring back the most dollars for a cattleman.” 2011 NJAS Carcass Contest champion honors go to CFF Objective 363 entered by Michael Cropp, Damascus, MD. The steer had a live weight of 1,240 pounds and a ribeye area of 14.1 square inches. The April 2010 son of S S Objective T510 0T26 graded Prime, with a Yield Grade of 2.47. Cropp says he has fun in the showring, but the carcass contest exposes him to the true value of his cattle. “We are the business breed, so it makes sense to me to participate and go for the gold in the carcass contest,” Cropp said.
Reserve champion goes to H E W Mr Prime 058 entered by Hannah Wright, Spring City, TN. The steer had a live weight of 1,360 pounds and a ribeye area of 14.4 square inches. The January 2010 son of Boyd Prime Plus 4122 also graded Prime, with a Yield grade of 2.27. “This contest gives juniors an education on what determines economic success in the cattle feeding business — pounds, quality and cutability,” McCully said. “Satisfying the consumer must be a point of focus for all beef producers.” Visit www.angus.org for more information, including videos, show results and photos. Coverage is also available on the National Junior Angus Association Facebook fan page. Backdrop and candid photos are available for purchase at www.angus.digitaleventsonline.com.

Fridge checklist With the continuing heat wave stretching across most of the country, is your refrigerator keeping its cool? Storing animal health products at the correct temperature is one key aspect of beef quality assurance (BQA) programs, because improper storage can cause products to lose their effectiveness. Refrigeration at 35-45°F is recommended for many products, with some exceptions based on the unique nature of each product. Most farms do a good job of keeping products refrigerated, but how often are those refrigerators checked to be sure the temperature is in the right range? A study done by University of Arkansas scientists revealed that most farms’ refrigerators did not
meet the needed recommendations. Temperatures were recorded at 10minute intervals in 191 refrigerators, representing all styles and ages from less than five to over 15 years and located in a variety of environments from kitchens to the area near cattle-handling facilities. Only 27 percent of refrigerators maintained a temperature between 35° and 45°F during more than 95 percent of the 48-hour test period (the BQA goal). Even worse, 24 percent of refrigerators maintained that temperature for less than 5 percent of the test period. Refrigerator type and age did not affect ability to keep a constant temperature, but location was important. Refrigerators in
temperature-controlled environments maintained the optimum coolness range better. Have you checked the temperature in your refrigerator lately? The thermostat may need to be adjusted, or perhaps you need to do some general maintenance. Here are a few pointers for improving refrigerator performance: • Vacuum vents and coils. Dusty coils have to work harder to cool the refrigerator. • Clean the drip pan beneath the refrigerator. • Clean the drain of auto-defrost models. To clear the drain tube, remove the stopper and insert a pipe cleaner into the opening; flush with soapy wa-
ter, then empty and clean the pan. • Wash gaskets that seal the doors with soapy water. Occasionally, test gasket condition by attempting to slide a sheet of paper between the seal and the refrigerator wall. If the paper slips in, the seal is not tight enough, and the gasket needs to be replaced. • Do not position a refrigerator or freezer in direct contact with hot appliances, as this will make the compressor work harder. • Regularly defrost manual-defrost freezers to keep frost build-up under 0.25 inch.

Ag Progress Days Equine Experience offers variety for horse lovers UNIVERSITY PARK, PA — With a variety of demonstrations, workshops and displays planned, the Equine Experience at Penn State’s Ag Progress Days, on Aug. 16-18, is aimed at educating and entertaining horse lovers of all ages and experience levels, according to organizers. The Equine Science team in the College of Agricultural Sciences coordinates the event, which annually offers a full schedule of training and breed clinics, demonstrations, informational displays and lectures. This year, the Spring Mount Percheron six-horse hitch, owned by David and Linda Hershey, will be on hand all three days. “These outstanding animals will be hitched and driven once each day, plus once for a special performance during the Wednesday Evening Extravaganza,” said Dr.
Ann Macrina, research/teaching associate in the Department of Dairy and Animal Science. “Also featured Wednesday evening, Rick Shaffer of R & S Paso Finos will demonstrate the amazing abilities of the Paso Fino breed,” she said. Macrina noted that trainer and author Mike Schaffer will demystify the hidden language of dressage in presentations on Tuesday and Wednesday. Other events include drill-team performances, the Extreme Cowboy Trail demonstration, miniature horses and demonstrations by 4-H members. Penn State faculty, staff, students and invited trainers also will conduct handling demonstrations geared toward helping horse owners learn skills to more safely and confidently enjoy the use of their horses. Breed demonstrations will feature
"I think more dairy producers should look at crop insurance to make sure they're protected in case some weather event limits their ability to grow crops." Ron Robbins, Dairy Farmer, Jefferson County, NY
Crop insurance can provide a safety net for dairy and livestock farmers in a variety of ways:
• yield and revenue protection for field crops, • delayed and prevented planting coverage, • drought protection for pasture and hay, and • Dairy Gross Margin - protecting the margin between milk income and feed costs. For details, call your crop insurance agent or find one on the web at http://www3.rma.usda.gov/appa/agents
See us at our booth in the Dairy Tent 444A Empire Farm Days August 9-11
Paso Finos, Gypsy Vanners, miniature horses, quarter horses and Appaloosas. In addition to the riding and training demonstrations, a complete series of lectures will be presented in the Equine Learning Center. Topics will include pasture management and weed control, nutrition, equine massage and routine horse health-management skills every horse owner should know. The Pennsylvania Equine Council’s Learning Station will allow visitors to groom a horse, visit with council members and learn what issues are at the forefront of Pennsylvania’s equine industry. The 4-H Equine Skillathon, an opportunity for 4-H members to test their equine knowledge, will take place Thursday morning. Penn State Equine Science faculty and staff will be available all three days at the Equine Arena and Equine Exhib-
it Building to answer questions and provide information. For more information, visit the Ag Progress Days Web site at http://apd.psu.edu. Twitter users can find and share information about the event by using the hashtag #agprogress.
