Farmstock 2011 Rivendel Farm

by Judy Van Put On Sunday, July 31, Rivendel Farm (located at the top of Swiss Hill near Kenoza Lake, Sullivan County, New York) opened its doors to the public for a Working Farm Tour, as part of the Farmstock 2011 series of tours. Hosted by owners Linda and Alan Rajlevsky, the interesting ‘stations’, the picturesque location and perfect sunny and breezy summer weather made for a very enjoyable afternoon for all in attendance.

Rivendel Farm became the eighth event of Farmstock 2011 Working Farm Tours; its emphasis is on pastureraised, free-range sheep and goats, who are raised with no antibiotics or hormones. Linda Rajlevsky gave a very interesting introduction to the farm, while her husband Alan prepared a mouthwatering meal of grilled lamb Tikka Masala cooked in a traditional tandoor.

While the group was enjoying the delicious refreshments, Linda reminisced about how the farm was acquired, by purchasing contiguous properties that were scheduled for foreclosure over a period of about five years, and combining the acreage; eventually winding up with a total of 53 acres, the present size of the farm. The couple desired to do something with the land, and started raising sheep in 1994, after a friend dropped off a few abused sheep, and it became necessary to learn how to provide proper care for them. She credited their friend and neighbor, Trina Pilonero from nearby Silver Heights Farm, Jeffersonville, with providing the necessary help and experience.

Today Rivendel Farm is home to upwards of 60 sheep; the breeds of choice are Clun Forest and Dorset. The Clun Forest, a little-known breed in the United States, hails from England and is known for its hardiness, easy lambing, and good mothering qualities. The sheep are more comfortable outside in the snow during winter, and the mothers produce plenty of milk. The Dorsets, another English breed, were chosen for their ability to breed out of season, or two times a year. Interestingly, the Club Forests are a blackfaced sheep, and the Dorsets a whitefaced breed; their offspring are mixed black and white faced.

There are two rams on the property, and from 30 to 60 ewes at any given time.

The farm sells their lambs quickly, they sell meat to an established client base; and they do take requests to buy lambs off the farm for breeding purposes and setting up new sheep farms in the area as well. In addition to meat and live lamb sales, the farm sells wool, mostly to local spinning guilds.

The second station was provided by Lisa Rose, a friend and neighbor and member of the Woodland Weavers’ & Spinners’ Guild, of Beach Lake, PA. Lisa was giving a felting demonstration, and had brought along bags of various types of wool, as well as hanks of naturallydyed wool and yarn, a spinning wheel and a number of beautiful hand-knit items. All during the afternoon she showed how to make wool felt using wool fibers, bubble wrap, a piece of window screen, olive soap and a sponge.

Children and adults alike were delighted to take home a square of felt that they had made from two handfuls of colorful wool fibers.

While the felts were drying, Linda invited the group down to the sheep barn, where she described the duties of a shepherd, with a great visual of a colorful pieshaped chart describing the year’s worth of duties associated with keeping sheep suspended overhead. January through March is busy with feeding, hoof trimming, and shearing, in preparation for lambing time. April is lambing time — and Linda said the demand for her lamb is so great that all 33 lambs were completely sold out by Eastertime. The months of May and June are busy with “creep grazing” — a process where the little lambs are put out in the grassy pastures first — the areas where the ‘babies’ graze are cordoned off to let them graze first, and protect them from any parasites that could come from having the mothers and adults in the same pasture.

The sheep are intensely grazed for 30 days on each section of cordoned-off pasture, as any worms that might be present in the manure will then die without a live host after 30 days. Each time the lambs are moved to a new section, the mothers and adult sheep follow; however, for the first six weeks, the lambs have to be brought back to their mothers to nurse. Weaning occurs at about six weeks, when the lambs have reached 36 pounds. July through September is taken up with grazing, October and November with flushing, and December, breeding.

Occasionally a ewe will reject a lamb, or will not have enough milk to feed multiple lambs — these orphans are called “Bummer lambs” and require bottle feeding. For this purpose, Linda and Alan keep a half-dozen doe goats and a buck on the property. The does are bred to kid in late winter/early spring, before the lambs are born, and some of the goats’ colostrum and milk is frozen in twoounce cubes and kept in the freezer for this purpose.

This fourth ‘station’ was the real highlight of the farm tour for the children in

Not only were they allowed to pet the kids, but Linda reached over the fence to carefully lift a kid out, and the children were allowed to carefully hold one of the tiny goat kids in their arms!

In addition to sheep and goats, Riven-

del Farm produces pasture-raised chickens and fresh eggs all year-round; and also produces honey, specializing in goldenrod honey.

Gillibrand, Hoeven fight to protect consumers, U.S. honey industry from mislabeled products Unfair Practices by foreign companies mislead consumers and strain multimillion dollar honey sindustry — Gillibrand, Hoeven call for immediate reform WASHINGTON, D.C. — With deceptive manufacturing practices by foreign companies threatening domestic honey producers, U.S. Senators Kirsten Gillibrand and John Hoeven called on the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to implement a national standard of identity for honey. While New York and North Dakota’s honey producers generated $53.4 million in sales in 2009, pro-

ducers have been strained as cheap, adulterated honey from abroad has inundated the U.S. market.

“New York has some of the nation’s finest honey and hardest working producers,” Senator Gillibrand said. “To protect consumers and safeguard the integrity of honey products, we must adopt a national standard of identity for honey to prevent unscrupulous importers from flooding the market with misbranded honey products. The lack of regulation is a food safety concern and a bane to our honey producers.”

“North Dakota is the nation’s leading

producer of honey, so it’s important that producers in our state and throughout the country are treated well and fairly in the marketplace” Senator Hoeven said. “Preserving the identity of American-made honey gives consumers confidence by assuring them that they are buying a quality product.”

In a letter to Margaret Hamburg, Commissioner of the FDA, Senators Gillibrand and Hoeven urged the FDA to take swift action in adopting a national standard of identity. Establishing such a definition of purity will give inspectors the power to stem illicit imports and

curb domestic tampering, while providing consumers with more assurance about the quality of honey products on the U.S. market.

The FDA has established nearly 300 food standards of identity, for everything from grape jelly to maple syrup. Codifying this standard in U.S. law will allow for a common language for honey to be regulated by the federal government.

According to the United States Department of Agriculture, North Dakota’s honey industry is the largest in the nation while New York’s ranked 11th in total production in 2009.

Rolling Spring Farm hosts farm tour and open house

by Jon M. Casey The benefits of cow comfort and improved herd health were never more evident than at the Rolling Spring Farm Open House and Dairy Tour hosted by Charles “Charlie” and Denise Bean and family at their Venango County farm near Franklin, PA on July 28. The event was part of a summer series of three open house/tours, sponsored by the Center for Dairy Excellence and agribusiness supporters. The first event was held in mid-July at Kurtz Valley Holsteins in Mifflintown, PA. The third and final event was at the Walk-Le Holsteins, owned by Leroy, Brenda and Brad Walker. That event will be at 6898 Oak Lane, Thomasville, York County, PA. Rolling Spring Farm Welcoming more than 60 visitors to the rainy-day event, Charlie commented on how the addition of their new 105stall loafing barn, increased the herd’s milk production by 10 pounds per cow per day. “We saw the increase almost immediately, within the first two weeks,” he said as we entered the new barn together. “The new barn was completed in 2010.”

“We think that it has been a good investment. The cows are cooler in the summer and it doesn’t freeze in the winter. With the mattresses under the sand bedding, the cows can stay comfortable all of the time,” he said.

“We use about 6 tons of sand every 10 days, and the scraped manure goes out onto the fields in our manure spreader,” he added. “The sand is spread over Promat® Pasture Mat mattresses. That is working very well for us.”

Bean said with the sand bedding and the two new rotating cow brushes, the cows are much cleaner than they were in their old environment. “They stand in line to use the brushes,” he said. “The first thing that everyone notices is how much they use the brushes.”

During the morning presentation, Charlie’s father Dallas spoke briefly, welcoming the visitors and noting that the farm has been in the Bean family for 170 years. He said the original 193-acre farm was purchased by his grandfather William Bean, who bought the farm at a sheriff’s sale after another family member, William’s uncle, had owned the farm. He originally cleared 130 acres of land before building the original house and barn, but then failed to prosper in his farming efforts.

He said William Bean made a success of the farm and it has remained in the family until today. Charlie added he and Denise bought the farm from Dallas in 1981, and together they have

been working to improve and expand the farm. Today they farm nearly 700 acres with some of the grain being sold for cash, but most of the corn, hay, soybeans and small grains are used as feed for the cattle.

Bean said they feed all of the production cows in the freestall barn and offer no feed in the two-row flat milking barn.

A portion of the older barn is used as a hospital and birthing facility. Bean said someday, when the economics are more reassuring, he would consider upgrading to a new milking parlor. For the time being however, he is content to rely upon his retrofitted parlor and to focus on keeping the cows healthy and the production high.

The Bean family milks approximately 90 cows with Charlie, sons Matt, Steve and daughter Heather all working together to make it all happen. Bean said Heather is a full-time college student, but works with the family during the summer when she is on break from school.

Denise, who works away from the farm as a pharmacist, also spends most of her free time doing chores, taking care of the family household, and she still finds time to maintain a beautiful vegetable garden and flower gardens around the farmstead. Denise has been instrumental in working with the herd’s breeding selections and she is extremely proud of the herd’s reputation for type. She is especially proud of two prominent, prize-winning Holsteins that have come from Rolling Spring Farm: “Sugar” and “Spice.”

Paul Lehman of Cambridge Springs, PA and builder of the new facility said that the 56-foot by 254-foot structure took approximately 3 months to build.

The 14-foot high structure is laid out in such a way that when the curtains are opened, the breeze that flows from the nearby hillside naturally ventilates and cools the facility most of the time. That helps reduce the need to use the six ventilating fans at the far end of the building. Just the same, with the recent hot weather, the fans have worked to keep the cows comfortable and today’s much-needed rain gave the herd a break from the heat.

Matt Bean, who was involved all morning, answering questions about the construction of the new barn, was in agreement with his father about how the new facility has benefitted their daily operation. He said the improvement in overall herd management has made his life a little easier. “I like how much easier it is to take care of the cattle,” he said.

“The cows are happier and so am I.”

Builder Paul Lehman and Matt Bean, talk to visitors about the attributes of the new 105-stall freestall barn.

Historic Dygert Farm~ Dairy of Distinction

by Elizabeth A. Tomlin On land that was deeded to the Dygert Family in 1723 by the Queen of England, the Dygert Dairy of Distinction was established, and it continues to proudly stand overlooking the Mohawk Valley.

“In 2023 it will be 300 years that this farm has been here,” acknowledges 13th generation dairy farmer, Rob Dygert. “Although, it’s not recognized until 2076, because the United States wasn’t formed until 1776.”

Commemorating that historical date is an original 13-star flag, a prized possession of the family, which holds a place of honor in the home.

“There are very few operational bicentennial farms today and we are really proud of this,” admits Rob’s wife, Shannon.

History is the heritage of the farm and the original family Bible, which was brought over when the family came from Germany in the 1700’s, is still owned and cherished by the Dygert family. Unfortunately, however, the original deed for the property was lost many years ago.

“My grandfather loaned it out to be displayed in a store for a street fair,” Grandfather Bob Dygert remembers with regret. “It was either lost or stolen from that store.”

Bob took over the farm from his father when he was 20 years old in 1948, and he still lives in the farm’s original house that he was brought up in. “We stepped out of the kitchen door right here to this pump to get a drink of water,” he laughs, explaining that when he and his wife married and moved to the house

next door, they still had to come down to get water from the original house pump, as they had no running water.

The Dygert family has had their share of trials over the years, including two serious barn fires; one in 1929 and another in 1979, each time requiring that the main barn be rebuilt. Then, in 2006, the machinery shed caught on fire and most of the farm equipment was lost.

However, determination — and maybe a bit of stubbornness — enabled the family to persevere throughout the years.

Bob Dygert transferred the farm over to Rob and Shannon in 2009, and although he is not a partner in the farm, they say he is still the “Senior Advisor.”

“We have learned a lot from him — and we have taught him a few things,” Shannon acknowledges. “He also helps do a variety of tasks and chores for us.”

The farm does employ a part-time helper, however, Shannon reports that both her and Rob’s families have been very much a part of assisting them on the farm. “Our families have helped us in many ways, which we are grateful for,” she states, adding that their family, including her father — who is acting as a contractor — has done almost all of the work on the new 100 stall, free-stall barn that they are erecting on the property. Shannon notes the “labor inefficiency of a tie-stall compared to a freestall” operation.

Dygerts are also converting their tiestall barn into a milking parlor with a target date of completion by this autumn. “We are hoping to be milking 90 cows in the fall,” explains Shannon.

Dygerts farm 200 acres of corn and hay and are currently milking 50

The Dygert family Dairy Farm was established in 1723, and is run by 13th generation Rob & his wife Shannon, with Grandfather Bob as “senior advisor.”

Holsteins. They have about 35 calves and heifers, and use shredded paper for bedding — that is purchased from a supplier in Gloversville, NY. “We find we have much better results using shredded paper for bedding,” Rob reports.

In addition to the construction for the new barn, the farm is currently installing a waste storage facility, and also implementing other beneficial environmental practices with the help of the Montgomery County Soil and Water Conservation District.

Dygert’s Dairy of Distinction practices and advocates preventative care with their herd, and is an active member of the New York State Cattle Health Assurance Program (NYSCHAP). The program is sponsored by the New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets and promotes “Animal Health, Food Safety, and Environmental Stewardship.”

In addition to working on the farm, Shannon is also employed by Cornell Cooperative Extension. Both she and Rob belong to Montgomery County’s Young Farmers group, which is headed up by Melissa Potter, AED Program Coordinator.

The group consists of about 20 young farmers who meet monthly. “There is usually a guest presenter, but

sometimes we just get together to have fun, share ideas, and talk,” Shannon explains. “We have also had a few farm tours. Some examples of presenters we have had are Crop Growers Insurance, Forage Quality, Feed Representatives, and others.” The group usually meets once a month except for the months of May and September when the farms are the busiest.

Dygerts share some advice with other young farmers — or farmers just beginning to get into the agricultural business. “Don’t be afraid to ask for help and advice along the way,” Shannon advises. “Pay attention to the cows and they will take care of you. Work someplace else to get experience and ideas before returning home or starting your own place.” Rob reports working at Dykman Brother’s for 8 years and gaining much knowledge and experience there before returning to take over Dygert Farms — when milk prices were at an alarmingly low rate.

“We started on our own at low milk prices, and we are still going and growing!” Shannon affirms.

Dean Foods settlement final — farmers must file forms by Aug. 23 On Aug. 3, the Vermont District Court approved the Dean Foods Settlement involving the price of Grade A milk produced and sold in the Northeast. The class action antitrust lawsuit brought by a class of northeast dairy farmers against Dean, Dairy Farmers of America (DFA) and Dairy Marketing Services (DMS) was filed in August of 2009. The farmers reached a settlement agreement with Dean Foods Company in December 2010, including $30 million in monetary damages. The final settlement had to be approved by the federal court, which has taken over seven months.

In the final settlement, the Court awarded all of the Plaintiffs’ costs of $1.5 million but only awarded $4.5 million in fees, out of the $8.5 million requested by the attorneys for the plaintiffs. Thus, the attorneys will get $6 million or 20 percent of the settlement amount, as opposed to the 33 percent requested. The Court denied the requests for incentive awards for the class representatives and

an award of accrued interest on the settlement fund. Consequently, approximately $24 million will be provided to eligible dairy farmers in the defined class.

All past and present dairy farmers in Vermont should have received a mailing

regarding this settlement and the deadline is approaching for dairy farmers to determine if they will take part in the settlement or not. “It is important for all Vermont Dairy Farmers to carefully consider their options regarding this settlement,” stated Deputy Secretary Diane Bothfeld. Dairy farmers’ legal rights are affected whether or not they act. Information, claim forms and a clear description of the settlement is available at www.NEDairySettlement.com or you can call 888-356-0258 for information. If you wish to receive a payment from the

Settlement you must complete and return a claim form and state the amount of Grade A milk produced and pooled in the Northeast between January 1, 2002 and May 23, 2011. The form is due by Aug. 23, 2011. The settlement forms are very straightforward and most farmers should be able to complete them without outside assistance.

The Vermont Office of the Attorney General reviewed the settlement and monitored the proceedings, and in a letter to the Court did not object to the settlement.

Development Authority funds Dairy Profit Teams Farmers encouraged to apply to Cooperative Extension Cornell Cooperative Extension is now accepting applications from dairy farms in Lewis, Jefferson, and St. Lawrence Counties for its Dairy Profit Team program. The program, funded by the Development Authority of the North Country, seeks to establish ten new teams in the region.

A Profit Team is a team of advisors that regularly meets with farm owners to work through established challenges and opportunities and develops strategies for long term business success.

Team members typically include veteri-

narians, nutritionists, lenders, financial consultants, other farmers, and cooperative extension educators. Decisions ultimately are always made by the farmer.

Previous programs around New York State have demonstrated the significant positive impact that a Profit Team can have on a dairy business. Most teams, once established, continue to meet without external sources of funding because farmers see their value.

Jim Wright, Executive Director of the Development Authority, notes: “These funds will help expand this successful program throughout the three-county region through improved operating effi-

ciencies in one of our most valued business sectors, the dairy industry.”

Applications will be accepted on a rolling basis until funding runs out; therefore farmers are encouraged to apply early.

For more information and an application, visit http://counties.cce.cornell. edu /lewis/ (click on “Dairy Profit Team program” at left side bar) or contact one of the following Cornell Cooperative Extension educators: Corey Hayes, Jefferson County at 315-788-8450; Brent Buchanan, St. Lawrence County at 315-379-9192; Frans Vokey, Lewis County at 315-376-5270.

Crop Comments

by Paris Reidhead Field Crops Consultant Poultry poo pounds petroleum My friend in Texas keeps sending me neat links to Web sites. One fairly interesting one dealt with identifying the source of airborne dust.

Kind of like on those police detective shows where dried mud on a vehicle, alleged to be used in committing a crime, showed that the subject vehicle was 99.3 percent likely to have been parked in a specific Sequoia forest in California during a sand storm three days earlier. This airborne dust link showed that dust could be identified, by its mineral and bacterial makeup, as having come from an agricultural soil or an unpaved gravel road, or even someplace else. But even more interesting was a link to this link, which was titled “Chicken Manure Biodegrades Crude Oil in Contaminated Soil”. The accompanying article appeared in Science Daily, and I’ll try to hit the high spots of that story.

Chinese research scientists have discovered that chicken manure can be used to biodegrade crude oil in contaminated soil. Writing in the International Journal of Environment and Pollution, the team explains how bacteria in chicken manure break down 50 percent more crude oil than soil lacking the guano.

The term “guano” comes from a Spanish word meaning dung, or more specifically, the excrement of seabirds, cavedwelling bats, and even seals. The Chinese researchers lumped chicken manure in the guano category. Guano is one heck of an organic fertilizer. But more than that, it has unique building properties: it is a littleknown fact that a South American bird, the Peruvian booby makes its nest out of guano. We learn something new every day.

But back to China, where Huiwen Ma, Bello Yakubu, and ChuYu Zhang of Wuhan University, determined that

(Contact: renrock46@hotmail.com)

contamination of soil by crude oil occurs around the world because of equipment failure, natural disasters, deliberate acts, and human error.

Conventional approaches to clean-up come with additional environmental costs. Detergents, for instance, become pollutants themselves and can persist in the environment long after any remediation exercise is complete.

An environmentally friendlier approach is through bioremediation, which uses natural or engineered microbes that can metabolize the organic components of crude oil. Stimulating such microbial degradation in contaminated soil often involves the use of expensive fertilizers containing nitrogen and phosphorus, and may come with an additional environmental price tag, despite the “bio”, or “green”, label. Soil hardening and a loss of soil quality often accompany this approach.

Ma and colleagues suggest that animal waste, and in particular chicken manure, may provide the necessary chemical and microbial initiators to trigger biodegradation of crude oil if applied to contaminated soil. One important factor is that chicken manure raises the pH of soil to the range 6.3 to 7.4 which is optimal for the growth of known oilutilizing bacteria.

In tests, the Chinese workers added chicken manure to soil contaminated with 10 percent volume to weight of crude oil to soil. They found that within two weeks almost 75 percent of the petroleum spill was broken down in soil with the use of our finefeathered- friends’ contributions. However, additive-free soil (with no poultry poo) was naturally remediated by just over 50 percent. The team carried out a microbial analysis of their samples and identified 21 different microbial species known as aerobic heterotrophs. They

explained that Bacillus species and Pseudomonas aeruginosa were the best oilmunching microbes, but of the 21 cultured microcritters 12 could metabolize, i.e., biodegrade, components of crude oil.

Although there were oth-

er microbes involved in the petroleum clean-up, the most prevalent species were in the Bacillus genus.

“The use of chicken manure to stimulate crude oil biodegradation in the soil could be one of the several sought-after environmentally friendly ways of abating petroleum hydrocarbon pollution in the natural ecosystem,” Ma et al. concluded.

Returning mentally to Texas, where my lead for

this story originated, my mind goes much further back to my 22 months of active military duty in that state. Some people assigned with me on that particular Air Force installation, complained, wishing they had been stationed elsewhere. At the time we were involved in a war in the Far East (right next to China).

Complainers were often told, “Shut up… you could be reassigned to Hu Flung Dung Air Base”, which, to the best of my

Then referring again to the Chinese researchers, who really do exist, it becomes quite evident that they were prophets as well as scientists. Ma and his buddies mentioned that, among other things, oil spills are caused by equipment failure. Their write-up appeared in Science Daily on March 9, 2009, some 13 months before the Deepwater Horizon disaster in the Gulf of Mexico.

Reprinted with permission from ESMGPA August 2010 Newsletter You should always contact your vet for veterinary advice. I am not a veterinarian and do not prescribe treatment. I am just suggesting some things you may wish to discuss with your vet — things that seem to work best for me.

With breeding season just around the corner this is a good time to review sound breeding practices. When a doe doesn’t breed, has single kids or aborts, it is money spent with no return to you.

Sound breeding preparation which includes evaluating the animal’s size, conditioning and health, can improve your bottom line profits.

Size and Body Condition Matters The general rule of thumb has always been to breed a doe at seven months or

70 pounds, regardless of size and scale.

Vets are now recommending that a doe breeds when she reaches 70-75 percent of her mature weight. This means, if you expect your doe to weigh 150 pounds when mature, she shouldn’t be bred until she weighs approximately 105 pounds. If the doe is too small when bred she tends to produce single kids, takes longer to reach her mature weight, and, in some cases may never reach her potential size. Additionally, her small pelvic structure may cause problems when kidding.

Conditioning is also important. If your animals are too fat they may experience difficulties breeding, conceiving, and birthing their kids. Females that have bulges of fat on their brisket or right behind their front legs also

have fat surrounding their internal organs. Fat does may not conceive as easily and tend to develop Ketosis, which is life threatening for both mom and kids. Ketosis occurs generally in the late stages of pregnancy. A fat doe may also have problems during the birthing process. Similar problems may occur with a doe that is too thin.

She may not conceive in a timely manner and can develop Ketosis as well.

A skinny doe is one whose rib cage is visible and her backbone is sharp looking. When a doe is carrying multiple kids, she burns a lot of energy to feed her kids and with too little conditioning she is not able to care for herself, pass nutrients to her kids and may have little or no milk for her kids when born.

Body condition is also important for bucks. A buck that is too fat may not have the sexual drive to breed does or have the stamina to cover a larger number of does in short time. Bucks that go into the breeding season overly thin can be a problem also. Bucks tend to eat less when breeding does and over the course of the breeding season lose considerable weight. For a yearling buck starting the breeding season with good body conditioning is even more important. The young buck must not only eat nutritiously for semen production and mating stamina, but to continue his growth. If the young buck is not in excellent condition at the time of breeding not only will he have more difficulty breeding the does in a timely manner but also his growth may become permanently stunted.

Parasite Control - A heavy internal parasite load can and will wreak havoc with your breeding program. Worms are a major contributor to poor body condition and will reduce a buck’s sexual performance. A heavy parasite load in your does will interfere with the doe’s conception, pregnancy and birthing process. When a doe is battling worms her kids are not getting enough nutrients to grow properly or even survive thus causing abortions. If you suspect a heavy worm load treat the animal before breeding or flushing.

Foot Trimming - Ensure your goats’ feet are properly trimmed two to three weeks prior to putting the buck with the does. A buck with sore or overgrown feet may have trouble covering does or may not want to mount does at all. This also applies to your does. If a doe has sore legs and feet she may not be willing to stand for the buck or her legs may not support her when the buck mounts her causing hip injury.

Flushing Does - Flushing is done to increase the number of kids per doe.

Flushing is accomplished by gradually increasing the doe’s food intake approximately one month prior to breeding.

This can be accomplished by increasing her grain ration or putting the doe in a lush, nutritious pasture. By improving her nutrition the doe gains weight and her ovulation rate tends to increase.

Flushing seems to work better with does in poorer body condition than with those in excellent condition.

Thoughts from A7 Minerals - It is important that your goats have continual access to the proper mix of minerals and loose salt. Both minerals and salt should be fed free choice. Breeding is stressful for both buck and doe and free choice minerals help to keep the doe’s and buck’s nutrition in balance. This is especially important for bucks to help prevent urinary calculi. The likelihood of urinary calculi increases when the buck’s eating and drinking patterns change, as they will when breeding, and access to properly balanced minerals and salt will help prevent this.

One often overlooked mineral is selenium. It is

critical that your does receive an adequate amount of selenium. Generally, the soils in the northeast are selenium deficient and if the goat does not have a sufficient amount in her system, she may die during the last few days of her pregnancy, abort late in the pregnancy or have kids that display white muscle disease, or “floppy kid” syndrome.

Vaccination - If you vaccinate, about a month prior to delivery is a good time to supplement your doe with vitamin E/Selenium as well as Clostridium Perfringes Type CDT. These supplements are passed to the kids in the womb and through their mother’s milk and help

protect them, but it is recommended that newborns also receive a vitamin E/Selenium booster within 24 hours of birth.

Breeding Cycle - Does generally come in heat every 17-23 days and their heat period will last, on average, 24-72 hours.

If your buck is mature and is running with 2030 does you should plan on keeping him with the does 45 days. This will cover two cycles. A great way to know if your doe was bred is to mark your buck’s chest wall (be-

tween his two front legs) with a marking product.

When the buck mounts the doe he will leave a mark on the doe’s back.

Mark it down on your calendar, and then you have an excellent idea of when your doe will kid — generally 150 days give or take two to three days. Knowing when your doe is due to kid allows you to better monitor your does. Enjoy your goats — your enjoyment is part of the profit.

Empowering women to put a face on agriculture

by Terry Gilbert More than 30 percent of U.S. farmers and ranchers are women and their numbers continue to grow. Fortunately, opportunities for women involved in today’s agriculture are virtually unlimited. But some challenges still remain. That is why the Farm Bureau Women’s Leadership Committee strives to empower women to use their enthusiasm, dedication and talent to change perceptions about agriculture, family farms and ranches and the role of women in these arenas.

Our efforts to influence perceptions include coordinating educational programs in rural communities in addition to offering leadership devel-

opment programs that are open to all Farm Bureau women.

Women’s Communications Boot Camp, which we have held annually each summer since 2007, is one opportunity we provide for women in agriculture from across the country to improve their skills. All of those selected to participate share the same goal, to become better communicators.

An impressive group of 16 women participated in two and a half days of intensive training this year, pulled together by AFBF’s professional staff, who take a great interest in helping Farm Bureau Women improve their skills.

It was amazing to see a group of strangers come together, bond through

sharing intense training exercises and leave just a few days later with friends that will last a lifetime.

Although we strive to keep the program fresh each time it is offered, public speaking, media training, effective use of social media and tips for seeking elected office are among the staple topics covered each year at Boot Camp.

One of the most exciting things about Boot Camp is hearing from the participants about how they plan to use their skills to reach out to consumers who have questions about food production and what they do on their farms and ranches.

We’re also very interested in how graduates of earlier classes are us-

ing their skills, which prompted us to launch a Boot Camp group on Facebook. It has been gratifying to see women posting in their own words about what they took away from the program and the creative ways they’re reaching out to consumers.

“It opened my eyes to just how powerful our personal experiences are to those who are several generations removed from the farm or ranch,” explained Melinda Marley Jackson of New Mexico.

“It is one of the most life-altering workshops I have ever attended. It was so worth the time!” wrote Kim Allegood Brown of Georgia.

“I am still using everything I learned,” said Cindi Allen of Nebraska.

Buses to the state’s largest chestnut orchard leave daily at 10 a.m., 1 p.m. and 3:30 p.m., and Wednesday at 5 p.m.

Sponsored by Penn State’s College of Agricultural Sciences, Ag Progress Days is held at the Russell E. Larson Agricultural Research Center at Rock Springs, nine miles southwest of State College on Route 45. Hours are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Aug. 16; 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Aug. 17; and 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Aug. 18.

Admission and parking are free. Free shuttle bus service between the Ag

Progress Days site and downtown State College will be available.

by Linda Tripp, Extension Educator Much is written about how Americans no longer cook at home. This year’s Columbia County Fair finds over fifty 4-H contest participants ready to dispel this thought! They are participating in one or more of the four foods and nutrition-related contests during the fair. They all take place at Columbia Hall, just inside the Route 203 gate to the fairgrounds in Chatham.

It is always fun to learn more about one’s family heritage. Our 4-H members will be exploring their family heritage as they participate in the Creative Cookery Contest on Sunday, Sept. 4 beginning at 1:30 p.m. This year’s theme, “Breakfast Outside the Box”, will provide lots of new ideas for fair goers. 4-H members will prepare a recipe they have researched from start to finish, right in front of your eyes.

They will be available to answer any questions about their recipes and preparation techniques. Judges will talk with contest participants as they prepare their dishes, as well as taste the finished products.

The Brown Bag Lunch Contest takes place on Saturday, Sept. 3, at 11 a.m. 4-H members put together what they would consider a typical carried lunch — for school or on a trip. They need to create an attractive meal plan and must be able to share the basic nutrients found in the foods included. Of course, food safety rules must also be considered.

s

USED EQUIPMENT BLOW-OUT!

Pizza seems to have joined hot dogs and hamburgers as an “All-American” food. 4-H members will share their enthusiasm for their favorite food by participating in the All American Pizza Contest. Participants will construct their favorite red, white or blue pizza at home and then display it appropriately for the judges. The categories stand for the traditional tomato sauce-covered pizza, the basic cheese and garlic style pizza and, anything goes for the blue pizza (and it need not be blue). This contest steps off at 2:30 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 3.

Monday, Sept. 5 at 1:30 p.m., finds the 4-H members putting their decorative techniques on display with the Creative Place Setting Contest. Participants will create their own table setting, fitting a theme of their own choosing. Along with the table service, table covering and centerpiece the participants create an appropriate menu to fit the theme. The place settings will be dismantled after the contest so come and get some ideas for your next party.

The Columbia County Fair is a showcase for 4-H members to share their new-found skills with others. These skills are learned from volunteer leaders, parents and others who teach them using the 4-H project materials available to them.

• Provide written notice to your crop insurance agent by crop and by unit as soon as you have determined that damage has occurred: • within 72 hours of discovery of damage or loss, • 15 days before harvest begins, • within 15 days after harvesting is completed but not later than 10/20 (corn insured as tonnage for silage), 12/10 (grain corn and soybeans).

• A pre-harvest yield appraisal is required for most direct marketed crops • A loss adjuster must evaluate evidence of damage before you destroy it.

If your insurance provider’s adjuster cannot do appraisal before beginning of harvesting, you must ask for permission to leave representative sample rows intact for each field of the damaged unit.

Additional Requirements • Notify your insurance agent of any discrepancies between your acreage report and your Summary of Protection (or Schedule of Insurance) • Keep harvest records separate by insurance units and by crop type • Be sure not to commingle production of different insurance units without advanced permission from an adjuster

For further details, consult your crop insurance agent.

A Few Words

by Phoebe Hall

School turns 100 years old I wonder what our school’s forefathers would say if they saw our school today?

Even though we are the smallest school district in the county, no other school can boast of a bigger heart. It all started 100 years ago when farsighted residents envisioned the need for a new school that would accommodate as many students as wanted to gain a higher education.

The 1911 building was originally a two story, eight classroom high school with central heating and running water. A far cry from what many of the students were accustomed to in their one room rural school houses. At the time, most of the school board members were farmers, including the doctor that was the

president at the time.

In 1939, with the construction of a new modern building, we became the 200th school district in New York State to be centralized by eventually consolidating 27 districts. Since then, many other additions have been added… but all of these buildings are continuous, meaning that they are all in one location and connected for easier accessibility and maintenance.

This was all made possible by the foresight of the board of education when they purchased three connecting farms with a total of 190 acres.

This gave the district not only a nucleus of possibilities for future expansion, but also facilities for the agriculture program that became one of the finest for 50 years.

The farm was central for giving the students first

hand experience, plus providing food for the school’s lunch program for years. We even had a full-fledged school fair from 1941-1956, which would have rivaled some county fairs, with attendance up to 10,000 people per year.

Today, we are fortunate to have a very modern facility with a swimming pool and sports complex. Our sports programs were recently rated by ‘Business First’ as one of the best for the bucks, in our area. Also, our academic and music programs have never

taken a back seat.

But after all this, the one thing that I personally believe the area that we have excelled in the most is our Alumni Association. I don’t know of a more active one of its kind that consistently shows the real true spirit of our small rural school. They have a yearly banquet with around 300 people in attendance, where they honor in 10-year increments, all the honor classes.

They have a mailing list of over 3,500 a year that they keep in touch with. But what makes

this association so remarkable are the scholarships to alumni that they give out each and every year. In 2011 alone, they gave out $22,000 worth of scholarships to deserving graduates to further their college education.

To me, that is a tidy sum for a large school, but for a school this size, it’s nothing short of remarkable. It shows the importance that is placed on attaining as much education as possible.

Another interesting fact is that a former teacher, Miss M.P., who

was for years the alumni’s executive secretary, would also be 100 years old in 2012. I know that she would be proud of these folks that have carried on her dream of helping as many students as possible with advanced education. She always stated, “You never know which one of our students might discover the cure for that dreadful disease, cancer!”

Happy 100th Birthday, B.C.S.!

A View from Hickory Heights

by Ann Swanson Picnic foods taste oh so good!

I am sure we all have a different list of foods when we think of picnic fare. For us, there are the traditional hot dogs and hamburgers, plus whatever else we can put together. We almost always have baked beans.

There are several different recipes I use for those but my favorite one is one that must be set overnight.

When I was a child my mother belonged to a small pinochle club.

There were usually two tables and yes, they competed for prizes.

Every summer the club had a picnic with the families included. I loved to be able to go to that because many of the members had children, too. Mrs. Nevins always made the baked beans. I remember when I asked her if I could have her recipe. She put it on a card and gave it to my mother at one of the meetings. After that we always made Mrs. Nevins baked beans.

When I say that they set overnight I meant that the whole beans had to soak in water before you could begin to cook them. They were well worth the effort.

Another thing I think of is the salads. Usually keeping things cold was not an issue for us since many picnics were held at relatives homes. Potato salad is my favorite. I make potato salad like my grandmother did, but with a couple of twists. If you are a regular reader you probably remember

that I have mentioned before that while my grandmother was an excellent baker, she was just so — so with her cooking. I have tweaked the recipe and made it my own.

When my children speak of potato salad they refer to my version.

I cannot wait for summer to be able to enjoy good potato salad. Part of our Christmas Eve smorgasbord is potato salad. It really does go good with either ham or turkey. I think the reason I started making potato salad for Christmas was because I could make it ahead of time and let it set. It made my preparation that much easier after our Christmas Eve church service.

We also enjoy macaroni salad. If I need a salad quickly, I usually make macaroni because I can cool it with cold water so it can be put together faster. I make many types of macaroni salad. Sometimes I do pasta salad with Italian dressing as the mixer.

Sometimes I make macaroni salad with eggs, grated carrot, and other assorted vegetables.

Sometimes I make macaroni salad with tuna fish.

I even make macaroni salad with chicken.

When I make the chicken variety I add fruit such as grapes and apples. We do not wait for summer to arrive to enjoy these either.

When I think of the tuna salad it takes me back to a particular Fourth of July when we were not finished with the haying. There was no

possibility of us getting to the local parade or fireworks. That day I mixed up my macaroni salad and planned a special treat for the children so they would not feel bad about missing the local festivities. I let them make the old-fashioned tri-corner hats, then, I involved them in a scavenger hunt. Since they were not old enough to read very well I drew small pictures for them to follow. They ran from spot to spot around the yard picking up their clues. When they got to the last one it directed them to the freezer to find some homemade root

beer popsicles. It was a Fourth of July celebration they still talk about.

Quite often we have a relish tray and a plate of fruit for our picnic. The young children really like the raw vegetables and fruit.

When the children were really little I usually made rice pudding to take to family picnics — that way I knew there was something on the table that they could eat. We were good Swedes. We liked our rice pudding. We usually ate it warm as part of the main course.

If the early apples happened to be ripe I made fresh applesauce. If you

do not care for the store bought variety, try making your own. It is really easy to do. I especially liked the applesauce made with the early apples because it was so light colored. There were no short cuts with this though. The apples had to be peeled and cut up or thee were slivers of skin throughout.

Our picnic fare varied with our guests. Everyone brought something.

Usually dessert was something simple. We might have cookies or cake squares. I have several recipes for cake squares, too. I always like to make those because

they travel well. You pop a cover over the pan and you are out the door.

We are still working on our menu for the fair, but I volunteered to cook the first meal. We are having traditional picnic food. The hot dogs and buns are packed as well as the rest of the fixings.

We will have baked beans, raw vegetables, and macaroni salads. I sure hope there are some leftovers for lunches at the fair.

UNIVERSITY PARK, PA — Agriculture is serious business in Pennsylvania, but young people attending Penn State’s Ag Progress Days, set for Aug. 16-18 at Rock Springs, can discover that farming also has a fun side.

As one of the nation’s leading agricultural expositions, the event can be an action-packed place for kids. Young people can take part in interac-

tive, science-based exhibits and other activities that combine education and enjoyment.

“Our young visitors will get to learn by doing,” said Mya Rushton, 4-H project development specialist in the College of Agricultural Sciences and coordinator for the Ag Progress Days 4-H Youth Building. “The exhibits will get youth up and moving with a variety of activities designed

for hands-on learning, so youth can take the skills learned and apply them in their homes, schools and communities.”

The 4-H Youth Building displays, sponsored by such groups as 4-H, FFA, Pennsylvania Dairy Princess Promotions Services Inc. and several academic departments in the College of Agricultural Sciences, will offer several kid-friendly activities.

Young visitors can look

at diseased plants under microscopes, learn about embryology and watch chicks hatch, pet rabbits and learn about spinning their wool, participate in nutrition and fitness activities, check out the world of insects, and pedal go carts around an outdoor track for fun and exercise.

Nearby, the Family Room Building, located on Main Street between West Eighth and West Ninth streets at the Ag

St. Johnsville, NY 7403 St. Hwy. 5 518-568-2016

Progress Days site, offers several displays dedicated to promoting healthy eating, healthy lifestyles and spending time together as families.

Adjacent to the Family Room building, the Shaver’s Creek Environmental Center exhibit returns this year with opportunities to see live turtles, snakes, amphibians and birds of prey, presented during daily talks and demonstrations.

The July Federal order Class III benchmark milk price jumped $2.28, to a record high $21.39 per hundredweight (cwt.), according to the Agriculture Department. That’s $7.65 above July 2010, the highest since July 2007, $2.04 above California’s comparable 4b cheese milk price, and equates to about $1.84 per gallon.

The 2011 Class III average now stands at $17.68, up from $13.60 at this time a year ago, and compares to just $10.16 in 2009 and $18.24 in 2008.

The August Class III price will likely be the peak for the year at a record $21.50, if the CME futures contract is any indication. That’s what it was trading at late Friday morning. The September contract was at $20.19, October; $19.10, November; $18.27 and December at $17.44. Those prices would result in a 2011 average of $18.36, up from $14.41 in 2010,

$11.36 in 2009, and $17.44 in 2008.

The July Class IV price is $20.33, down 72 cents from June, but $4.58 above a year ago.

The NASS-surveyed cheese price averaged $2.1243 per pound, up 22.4 cents from June.

Butter averaged $2.0304, down 9.8 cents. Nonfat dry milk averaged $1.6159, down 3.6 cents, and dry whey averaged 54.94 cents, up 2.6 cents.

California’s July 4b cheese milk price is $19.35, up 56 cents from June, $5.98 above a year ago, and equates to about $1.66 per gallon. Its 2011 average now stands at $16.20, up from $12.44 at this time a year ago, but the gap widened again between it and the Federal order Class III price. The difference this year has varied from 8 cents below the Class III in February to $2.64 below in March. The July 4a butter powder price is

$20.07, down 72 cents from June, but $4.45 above a year ago.

Those futures prices may sound great but it’s the bottom line that really matters and that looked a little better in July as well, according to USDA’s latest Ag Prices report. Increased milk

prices covered rising feed costs. The All-Milk price was estimated at $22.10 per cwt., up 90 cents from June, and the highest ever.

The cost of feed to produce 100 pounds of milk was $11.57, up 29 cents from June, according to the CME’s Daily Dairy

Report (DDR). Corn increased 8 cents, to $6.46 per bushel, soybeans were up 20 cents, to $13.40 per bushel, and alfalfa hay was up $9, to $189 per ton.

All three were record highs, according to the DDR, which added; “Rising milk prices left in-

come over feed costs of $10.53 per cwt., 61 cents per cwt. higher than June.” “Over the last 10 years, income over feed costs has averaged $9.09 per cwt.,” the DDR said.

Cryan points out that “Feed costs have risen since a month ago, but so have projected Class I milk prices, driven by rising cheese values.” As a result, Cryan does not see any MILC payments to dairy producers for this fiscal year, which ends September 30.

Meanwhile; the cash block cheese price closed the first Friday in August at $2.1325 per pound, down 2 1/4cents on the week, but 53 cents above

a year ago. Barrel closed at $2.1350, up a half-cent on the week, and 56 3/4-cents above a year ago. Sixteen cars of block traded hands on the week and one of barrel. The ever lagging NASS-surveyed U.S. average block price inched a half-cent higher, to $2.1062, while the barrels averaged $2.1344, down 0.2 cent.

Butter closed the week at $2.1025, up a quarter-cent, and 25 1/4 cents

above a year ago. Six cars were sold.

NASS butter averaged $2.0085, down 1.8 cents. NASS powder averaged $1.5832, up 2.9 cents, and dry whey averaged 55.91 cents, up 0.9 cent.

California’s Milk Producers Council July 29 newsletter questions whether current butter production being affected by the hot weather plus stocks on hand will be sufficient to fully supply domestic and export demand.

Heavy demand for cream for other uses is pulling product away from the churns, it said, and “While butter stocks have risen sharply in the last two months, approaching levels of a year ago, they were not sufficient last year, and prices soared.”

The MPC says “Buyers are calculating the odds that butter production will be sufficient this fall to supply their customers’ needs.” “If they wait and the market busts like last year, they win. If they stock up now and the market busts they lose. If they hold off buying, and the market remains tight, they may lose one way or another. The price swing last year was a drop of 56 cents per pound in four weeks followed by an increase of 60 cents five weeks later,” MPC said.

A buyer for a large grocery retailer in the Pacific Northwest shared some of the same consternation with me. “I can only wait so long to make a buy,” he said. “Do I buy now or wait for the price to fall?”

Jerry Dryer, editor of the Dairy and Food Market Analyst, told me the U.S. is exporting a lot of butter right now and inventories are low. He sees little to no price relief for several months and said that some manufacturers

have told him they expect butter to get as high as $2.75 a pound through the fall. By the way, the record high on butter was $2.81 in September 1998.

Speaking of retailers; the June consumer price index for all food is 227.4, up 3.7 percent from June 2010. The dairy products index is 212.3, up 7.2 percent from 2010. Fresh whole milk was up 10.9 percent; cheese, up 6.9 percent; and butter was up 21.7 percent.

Checking the supply side; June butter production hit 140.7 million pounds, down 9.5 percent from May, but 20.1 percent above June 2010, according to USDA’s Dairy Products report. Nonfat dry milk output, at 145.7 million pounds, was off 1.6 percent from May, but 6.4 percent above a year ago.

American type cheese output, at 364.4 million pounds, was down 1.8 percent from May, and 1.5 percent below a year ago. Italian type cheese, at 388.8 million pounds, was down 3.3 percent from May, and 4.5 percent below a year ago. Total cheese production amounted to 894.1 million pounds, down 2.3 percent from May, but 1.3 percent above a year ago.

Heat and humidity continue to affect the industry. USDA’s weekly milk production update says high temperatures the last week of July stressed cows and milk production declines of 10 percent and up were common.

The South has had high temperatures but production was at expected levels in most cases. Florida had no loads of milk exported that week, the first time since November. Heat across the North Central and Eastern regions was detrimental to produc-

Greenwich FFA members receive Most Valuable Student awards It is not every day that two of our very own Greenwich FFA members receive the school’s highest honor, the Most Valuable Student Award. Marcus Henderson and Mary Foote were awarded the Most Valuable Student Awards at the Greenwich High School graduation ceremony.

For over 70 years the Most Valuable Student names have been posted on the very prestigious plaque that hangs in the high school office.

Marcus Henderson is the son of Taylor and Sue Henderson of Henderson Dairy Farm in Easton.

Marcus has played an active role on his family’s farm, focusing on harvesting quality crops. He played varsity football and served on several schoolwide committees.

Mary-Elizabeth Foote is the daughter of Wayne and Betsy Foote of Hartford.

Mary was the first Greenwich student to serve as the NYS FFA President. She was also the Senior Class Vice President as well as the President of the NYS Junior Guernsey Association.

Marcus and Mary have both served their school and community and are very deserving of this award.

Successful teachers inspire character and knowledge in students CROGHAN, NY — New York State Agricultural Education Outreach Staff, in partnership with NYAAE (New York Association of Agricultural Educators) Executive Council, New York State Education Department, Mohawk Valley Career Pathways, and the National Association of Agriucltural Educators (NAAE), hosted “Region VI in the STICKS (Sucessful Teachers Inspire Character and Knowledge in Students),” a Professional Development Conference for Agricultural Educators, on June 26-29, at the Oswegatchie Educational Center in Croghan, NY. Agricultural Education Outreach Assistant Coordinator, Shari Lighthall stated, “We have worked hard to include activitiybased workshops that address the needs of our constantly changing

agricultural and agri-science programs. Each participant received over 30 hours or more of professional inservice time and materials valued at over $400.”

The Agricultural Education Outreach progam this year hosted Region VI of NAAE (National Association of Agricultural Educators). Region VI encompasses the Northeastern United States, which includes Vermont, New Hamshire, Maine, Delaware, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Maryland, New York, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and Virginia. This year’s conference goal was to bring the agricultural educators of Region VI together for a dynamic professional development program focused on providing teachers with technical information and current teaching techniques necessary to provide

instruction to students interested in careers within the diverse areas of America’s agricultural industry.

This year’s program provided some of the following workshops, The Creative Side of Ice Cream, The Dirt on Soil, Backpack Science, Advanced Hydroponics, and Global Hunger and Food Insecurity.

Conference attendees participated in many hands on activities; from home made goat milk soap to making a walking stick as a finished product using and tools and common shop techniques. The 2011 NAAE Regional Conference spent time focusing on skills that the teachers can use to reconnect their students to nature and their local environment and which can be brought back into the classroom to engage and excite students to learn.

Mary-Elizabeth Foote and Marcus Henderson received the Most Valuable Student awards at the Greenwish High School graduation ceremony.

A highlight of the professional development conference is the annual Awards Banquet. The banquet recognizes the teaching professionals who have demonstrated exceptional teaching throughout their careers.

Awards were presented to three regional winners for New York and the New York State Winner in the areas of Outstanding Young Member, Teacher Turn the Key National Scholarship, Outstanding Senior Teacher, Outstanding Program, Ideas Unlimited, Outstanding Mentor, Outstanding Service, Outstanding Cooperation, and Lifetime Achievement.

Professional Development Chair for NYAAE, Tara Berescik explained, “Agriculture teachers impact the lives of students in countless ways but the job is exhausting. Conferences help to

Angus Foundation Silent Auction raises $9,488 for education, youth and research Silent Auction proceeds will benefit the Vision of Value: Campaign for Angus, which aims to raise $11 million by the end of this year.

Angus supporters of all ages came together at the National Junior Angus Show in Harrisburg, PA, to support the 2011 Angus Foundation Silent Auction July 13-16, which grossed $9,488 in proceeds benefiting the Foundation’s education, youth and research activities. Individual donors and state Angus associations contributed 68 items to the 16th annual auction.

“The Angus Foundation’s Silent Auction is always a fun and enjoyable activity, and it’s our pleasure to offer this fundraiser at the NJAS,”

says Milford Jenkins, Angus Foundation president. “This activity, however, is made possibly only by the generous gifts of wonderful and creative auction items, followed of course by the bids placed on the items by our always supportive Angus youth, their parents and our many friends and guests at the NJAS. This collective effort by all involved is what makes the fundraiser successful with everyone feeling enormous satisfaction knowing they helped raise funds for our education, youth and

research endeavors!”

Dick and Diane Beck of Senioa, GA, purchased the top-selling item for $1,250. It was a framed print of Frank Champion Murphy’s pastel sketch “The Angus Breed is Launched in the United States of America.” F.C. Murphy had signed the print to Lyle Haring, a past regional manager for the American Angus Association. The item was donated by Just Enuff Angus, Bethlehem, PA. The second high-selling item was five straws of semen from the Angus bull Exar Lutton 1831, which

was donated by Hannah and Ester McCabe of Elk City, Kan. Michael and Julie Whiteside of WF Angus, Queenstown, MD, were the winning bidders on this item for $900.

From its inception in 1995, the silent auction has grown annually as a fundraiser that generates unrestricted financial support for various activities sponsored by the Angus Foundation, such as the Leaders Engaged in Angus Development (LEAD) Conference, Cattlemen’s Bootcamp and bovine genome mapping research.

refresh our spirits and ignite our passions for education. It’s great to work with others and to remember, at the end of the school year, the reasons why we are excited to go back to school in

September.” The Pine Plains Central School District sent their Agriculture teacher, Christine Mac Neil to conference to benefit the Agriculture Program in their school district.

tion. California and the Pacific Northwest were the exception from hot weather and milk declines. Lower solids restricted manufacturing along with less overall milk.

Class I needs are beginning to see increased interest as the opening of schools will begin in the next few weeks in some regions. Cream prices were trending higher due to increased manufacturing demand and tighter supplies. But, the overall economy has many concerned as to what that means for dairy demand.

World wise; prices continued to weaken in the August 2 Global Dairy Trade (Fonterra) auction, according to the Daily Dairy Report. The weighted average price for skim milk powder was $1.58 per pound, down 20 percent since June 1. Whole milk powder was also $1.58, down 11 percent in the last three auctions. The anhydrous milkfat price was $1.95 per pound, down 24 percent since June 1. Cheddar cheese for industrial use received an average winning bid of $1.91 per pound, down 2.3 percent from the prior auction.

Meanwhile, the Cooperatives Working Together program announced the acceptance of eight requests for export assistance from Bongards Creamery and Dairy farmers of America to sell a total of 7.9 million pounds of Cheddar

cheese to customers in Asia, the Middle East, Central America, and the South Pacific. The product will be delivered through December and raises CWT 2011 cheese export total to 57.6 million pounds.

In politics; after “dealing” with the debt ceiling, Congress is in recess until after Labor Day. National Milk’s grassroots tour to sell their “Foundation for the Future” dairy policy proposal also took a break the first week of August. Dairy Profit Weekly editor Dave Natzke reported in Friday’s DairyLine radio broadcast that a roadblock in the debt ceiling debate was opposition to additional taxes, and taxes are now an added dimension to federal dairy policy discussions.

During regional meetings to explain the Federation’s reform proposal, CEO Jerry Kozak, said that Foundation for the Future is not only a better safety net for dairy farmers, but also is more budget friendly than current federal dairy programs. He cited Congressional Budget Office analysis showing new program would save the federal government about $166 million over the next five years.

However, the processor’s International Dairy Foods Association said the program creates new taxes on dairy farmers, by diverting a portion

of assessments farmers would pay under certain conditions, to the U.S. Treasury.

“Federal dairy policy is often a contentious issue among farmers,” Natzke said, “And adding the political issue of taxes to the discussion, especially in an upcoming election year, is sure to heat up the debate.” The grassroots tour meets next in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania on August 8; Syracuse, New York on August 10; Ocala, Florida, on August 12; and finishes August 22 in Nashville.

A rose by any other name is still a rose, so they say (whoever they are), but that’s not the case with milk. A popular sports drink calling itself “Muscle Milk” is not milk, according to Uncle Sam. National Milk’s Chris Galen talked about it in Thursday’s DairyLine and said it was over 10 years ago that they pressed the Food and Drug Administration to “crack down on the misleading use of terms like rice milk and soy milk that are just imitations of real cow’s milk.”

While the FDA failed to respond to NMPF pleas, the call was reinvigorated about 15 months ago, according to Galen, when they provided documents on other products that were misla-

beled, “not only misusing the term milk but other terms like cheese and yogurt that are dairy specific but are not made from dairy ingredients.” The FDA has since warned the manufacturer of “Muscle Milk.”

Galen pointed out that the label has bold letters “Muscle Milk” but very fine print stating that it contains no milk.

He said NMPF is gratified the FDA has finally taken action against at least one company they believe is “playing fast and loose” with the regulations on what can and can’t be called milk.”

The law actually states that a product calling itself milk has to be from the lactation of an animal, he explained, and that cheese and yogurt are manufactured from a specific list of dairy ingredients and does not include beans, seeds, weeds, nuts, or things like that.

He said we’re seeing more of these “imitators,” something NMPF warned of 10 years ago, “If regulators did not do a good job of enforcing the letter of the law.” These products are often displayed in or near the dairy case and use similar packaging that real dairy products use, he concluded, but he hopes this “shot across the bow will prevent others from also misappropriating dairy terminology.”

Key deadline for refillable pesticide container and repackaging requirements approaching WASHINGTON, D.C. — As the final Aug. 16 implementation date of EPA’s Pesticide Container and Containment (PCC) rule nears, the member companies of CropLife America (CLA), Ag Container Recycling Council (ACRC), Agricultural Retailers Association (ARA), and National Agricultural Aviation Association (NAAA) reinforce their commitment to the safety and stewardship of crop protection products throughout their life-cycle, including safe storage and the reduction and recapture of packaging. The primary objectives of EPA’s rule are to facilitate the disposal and recycling of pesticide containers and protect the

environment from potential pesticide releases due to spills and leaks in storage, refilling containers, or dispensing of crop protection products. Industry organizations have played an active supporting role in the implementation of the new rule, and have led training, the development of retail center certification for compliance with storage requirements, and worked to ensure the smooth implementation of the rule so that the objectives are met and regulatory burden is minimized.

The CLA Stewardship Committee, consisting of CLA member companies, has developed guidance for safely cleaning refillable pesticide containers

for reuse or rededication, and a description of acceptable containers that may be provided to refillers in order to meet requirements of the rule.

This guidance should only be used if it is authorized by the registrant of the product in the container. Electronic versions of these and additional supporting documents are available on the CLA Web site at www.croplifeamerica.org /PCC-Rule.

Pesticides are most commonly sold in small (from 2.5 gallons up to

55 gallons) non-refillable containers and larger refillable containers. The distribution of pesticides in large, refillable containers reduces the volume of contaminated packaging that must be captured and managed.

In 2010, approximately 25 percent of the volume of pesticides from CLA members was sold in refillable packages. This eliminated the equivalent of more than 10 million 2.5 gallon jugs. In addition, more than 8 million pounds of plastic were recovered from

smaller non-refillable packaging.

The requirements of EPA’s PCC rule have been phased in since it was finalized in 2006.

The final phase of implementation goes into effect on Aug. 16. After this date, registrants will be required to incorporate new container management language on the labels of products released for shipment. Pesticide users will be required to follow the new container management instructions as soon as they appear on the la-

bels; stationary tanks and portable refillable containers will also be required to be compliant with the PCC rule. The labels of non-refillable containers must have recycling or reconditioning instructions, and refillable container labels are required to list instructions for cleaning the container before it is recycled or disposed.

The registrants of crop protection products that are shipped in refillable containers are also affected by the PCC rule.

The New York State Fair will once again be hosting the annual New York State Championship Demolition Derby and Double Figure 8 Races at the State Fair Grandstand on Labor Day, Sept. 5.

The New York State Championship Demolition Derby and Double Figure 8 Race will once again pit drivers of cars from across the state in an annual battle of motor sports survival.

Qualifying cars crunch, bump and slam each other until only one vehicle remains moving. During the popular Double Figure 8 event, cars drive along a course of three intersecting circles, colliding as they go.

Participants of the Derby include the winners of similar events held at county fairs throughout the summer. Anyone with an old car they’re willing to modify to use as a battering ram, however, can try to qualify for either the Derby or the Figure 8 event. Potential

competitors should contact JM Productions Inc., the event’s promoter, for application instructions.

General admission tickets for the 4 p.m. event are $20 for teens and adults, and $15 for children 12 or younger. Fans can purchase tickets through the State Fair Box Office, online through Ticketmaster.com or by calling 800-745-3000 or 866448-7849.

The Box Office, which charges no service fees, will be open Monday-Friday from 9 am to 4:30 pm.

The 2011 Fair will run from Aug. 25 to Sept. 5.

NCBA commends administration for walking away from proposing burdensome transportation regulations New Regulations Would Have Increased Costs with No Significant Benefit to Transportation Safety, Efficiency NCBA commends Department of Transportation for taking common sense approach to agricultural transportation regulations and pledges to continue seeking improvements in efficiency and safety.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — National Cattlemen’s Beef Association (NCBA) Manager of Legislative Affairs Kent Bacus said the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) made the right decision to walk away from proposing additional transportation regulations on America’s farmers and ranchers.

Bacus said that proposing additional regulations would have resulted in new financial and regulatory burdens without providing significant improvements to the safety and efficiency of transportation.

“The safety of cattle, equipment and other pedestrians on roads is a priority for cattlemen.

That is why farmers and ranchers invest time and financial resources to ensure their equipment meets all current transportation standards,” Bacus said. “We were concerned that the questions raised by DOT failed to recognize the diversity within production agriculture and would have imposed unnecessary,

burdensome regulations on cattlemen without providing significant improvements to a safe and efficient transportation system. We commend DOT for recognizing that new regulations are unnecessary and we appreciate the agency’s commitment to common sense rules for farmers and ranchers.”

According to DOT, the agency received approximately 1,700 comments on the proposal which would have expanded the scope of interstate commerce, further limited agricultural commercial drivers’ license (CDL) exemptions and expanded the definition of “implements of husbandry or off-road farm

ATA says FMCSA’s Strategic Plan doesn’t go far enough in addressing crashes ARLINGTON, VA — In comments filed on July 29, American Trucking Associations said that the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration’s draft 5-Year Strategic Plan “represents a genuine effort on the part of the agency to listen to, and incorporate, the recommendations of stakeholders,” however, ATA went on to tell the agency that, while a good start, the plan does not do enough to address the root causes of crashes.

“ATA commends FMCSA for acknowledging the need to address all entities that affect truck and driver safety in the transportation life cycle, especially the operators of passenger vehicles with which trucks share the road,” ATA wrote in its comments.

“However,

while the draft plan addresses these issues, it falls far short in that it does not identify the primary causes of crashes and prioritize countermeasures and solutions accordingly.”

“ATA recognizes that FMCSA’s primary role is to regulate the trucking industry. However, the agency’s mission is to reduce truck crashes,” ATA said. “While the goals identified in the

draft plan are certainly laudable, it is appropriate to align these goals with the agency’s overarching object: to reduce truck crashes.”

By minimizing the emphasis on addressing passenger vehicle driver behavior, “FMCSA will, at best, only impact the minority of truck crashes — perhaps less than 30 percent — caused by truck drivers.”

TRUCKS equipment” to bring these implements under jurisdiction of DOT. “We have no intention of instituting onerous regulations on the hardworking farmers who feed our country and fuel our economy,” said Secretary LaHood in a DOT press release. “Farmers deserve to know that reasonable, common sense exemptions will continue to be consistently available to agricultural operations across the country.”

Bacus added that while NCBA had significant concerns with the questions raised by DOT, the organization will continue urging DOT to make improvements to agricultural transportation regulations. He said NCBA supports standardizing truck weight limits across state lines to improve the efficiency of commerce and reduce the number of trucks on roadways, providing reciprocity agricultural waivers for Class C drivers’ licenses and improving consistency of regulations of farmers and ranchers who participate in both interstate and intrastate commerce.

“The U.S. beef indus-

try and all of production agriculture is extremely diverse and consists of farmers and ranchers in all 50 states. We need a transportation system that allows farmers and ranchers to safely and efficiently transport their products without placing undue burdens on them,” Bacus said.

“It is extremely pleasing that DOT walked away

from proposing new and expanded regulations.

However, NCBA will continue working with the department to improve transportation standards for cattlemen by improving efficiency and safety without imposing additional financial burdens on cattlemen and women.”

The summer is waning and the Cooperative Extension calendar is heat-

ing up. With Fonda Fair opening in less than a month, autumn and all

that it brings with it can’t be far behind. But for now, we enjoy mid-summer days, bountiful summer harvest, actively working farm equipment, bicycling boys and girls and a plethora of shades of green across the area.

A Cornell Maple Camp will be held at the Arnot Forest Aug. 26-28, as shared by the Capital Area Ag & Hort Program. This is an in-depth, hands-on training for maple producers who are starting out or growing their maple enterprise.

Check out www.cornellmaple.info for more imformation about this workshop.

4-H members are gearing up as they put the last touches on their 4-H projects. Yes, they are getting them ready to be evaluated by judges to be exhibited in the Cooperative Extension building and barns at Fonda Fair!

They have worked hard to learn new skills and continued practicing toward excellence on others. You are invited to stop by the CCEFM building and barns during the fair, Aug. 30-Sept. 5. Remember a stop at the 4-H Snack Bar for one of those legendary milkshakes or an ice cream cone will support local 4-H programs.

CCEFM will staff a face painting booth in the CCE Building on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. If you love to do face painting, we surely could put you to work helping us staff the booth.

Please give us a call if you can help out for a couple of hours one of those days!

The Energy Bike will return to the fair this year — stop by to see if you

can make one of our small appliances operate by pedaling the Energy Bike in the CCE Building. The CCEFM Master Gardeners are busy planning their beautiful display and learning center and Nutrition and Health will share information about USDA’s new “My Plate” way of thinking about how you eat.

As part of a national effort to support 4-H programs, the local Tractor Supply Stores (Amsterdam and Gloversville) will participate in the Paper Clover Campaign once again this fall. Stop by one of these stores and purchase a 4H Clover at the checkout between Sept. 21 and Oct. 2. The clovers will be displayed near the checkout and on the windows of the stores. Let’s see how well we can fill up those windows with 4-H support clovers!

Commerical growers have been learning the latest about pests in the hot weather we’ve been experiencing, in addition to blossom end rot, and cucurbits downy and powdery mildew.

Late summer weed control and weather data has been on the menu for the Capital District Vegetable and Small Fruit Program educators as well.

Central New York Dairy and Field Crops Team educator Kevin Ganoe has a new contact phone number: 315219-7786.

We hope you enjoy the remainder of your summer and we encourage you to take advantage of learning opportunities along the way.

Moms, celebrate a return to school days with a farewell-to-summer feast with friends

Pinwheel Steak Skewers

When the long, lazy days of summer give way to the more structured start of a new school year, the mood at your house may be one of resignation, of celebration — or both. Chances are, the parents are ready to return to a routine, however ambivalent the pupils may be. The kids’ first day of school is a great time to invite the moms in your circle to a grown-up back-to-school bash, featuring a delicious end-of-summer lunch menu.

Set the tone with the right invitation, suggests lifestyle expert Amy Tobin, of Inspired Ideas. She recommends creating a hall pass, report card or certificate of achievement. You may also want to give guests an “assignment” or two: • Ask each mom to bring a photo from her school days. You can use them as part of the décor, and reminisce about the styles, trends and friends of your childhoods.

• Encourage everyone to dress in

their school colors, or spirit wear from their alma maters.

• Party with a purpose. Request that guests bring a few school supplies to help a needy child.

A menu that makes the grade No gathering would be complete without a satisfying menu. Start with Pinwheel Steak Skewers, flavorful spirals of Certified Angus Beef ® brand top sirloin or flank steak garnished with feta cheese and garden-fresh tomatoes and oregano. A breeze to put together, Tobin suggests serving the petite kabobs on small chalkboards.

Summer’s flavors continue to shine with Grilled Filet with Watermelon and Bibb Salad. Certified Angus Beef ®brand filet mignon is not only one of the leanest cuts, it’s the most tender, too. The salad is easy as A-B-C, 1-2-3 to prepare for a party, and especially delicious served with crusty bread and herbed butter. Tobin recommends washing the lettuce, cutting the watermelon and preparing the vinaigrette early in the day, then grilling the filets last-minute and assembling the salad while the steaks are resting.

No meal is complete without dessert!

Tobin says a dessert buffet, full of bake-sale favorites like cupcakes, brownies and cookies, is sure to earn top honors. Display selections on cake stands, and top cupcakes with sweet marzipan apples. Be sure to have some brown paper lunch bags available so guests can take home any leftovers!

Pinwheel Steak Skewers 1 1/2 pounds Certified Angus Beef ® top sirloin or flank steak 1 cup beef broth 2 tablespoons red wine 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce 1 tablespoon vegetable oil 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning 1/2 cup olive oil 3 large ripe tomatoes, diced 6 ounces feta cheese 1/3 cup chopped fresh oregano Rosemary as needed for garnish Salt and pepper to taste 6 metal skewers* 1. To make marinade, combine beef broth, red wine, Worcestershire, vegetable oil and Italian seasoning. Place steak and marinade in zipper-locking plastic bag; refrigerate 2 hours.

2. Remove steak from bag and discard any leftover marinade. Slice across the grain into thin strips. Roll each beef strip and thread onto skewers, season with salt and pepper, and grill to desired doneness.

3. To serve, combine olive oil and tomatoes, and divide among 6 small plates. Top with feta cheese and oregano. Place one skewer per plate and garnish with rosemary. *(If using bamboo skewers, soak in water one hour before using.)

Beat the afternoon slump with honey - a natural 3 p.m. energy boost (NAPSA) — You start your day full of energy, charge through work assignments or household tasks all morning, and then break for lunch. You intend to continue that same pace of productivity after lunch, but for some reason, at around 3 p.m., your energy level starts to dip. Does this sound familiar?

For a quick energy boost, you want something fast, flavorful and appetizing. Enter honey, a natural energy booster that’s a sweet addition to any afternoon snack.

Honey provides quick energy and is a source of carbohydrates. At approximately 6 grams of carbohydrates and 21 calories per teaspoon, it is ideal for a quick pick-me-up since carbohydrates are the primary fuel the body uses for energy.

“Honey is composed of a unique carbohydrate composition of natural sugars and trace amounts of antioxidants, enzymes, minerals, vitamins and amino acids, making it a smart, natural, energy-filled afternoon snack,” says sports dietitian Mitzi Dulan, RD, CSSD, co-author of “The All-Pro Diet” with Tony Gonzalez. “In fact, for years, sports dietitians have recommended that athletes include pure honey in their pre-exercise meal or snack for that very reason.”

Honey can be used in many easy-tomake afternoon snacks, whether

Combining honey with fruits, vegetables and whole grains can add to your total nutrition and give you a natural energy boost.

you’re at school, work, home or the gym. Combining honey with fruits, vegetables, lean meats, whole grains and other healthful foods can add to your total nutrition and give you a great natural energy boost. Whether you’re looking for a surge of energy or just a sweet reward after a long workout, honey is a quick, easy and delicious all-natural energy source.

Honey Banana Smoothie Serves 1 1 cup 1 percent milk 1/2 frozen banana 2 teaspoons honey 1 scoop protein powder (from container) Blend and enjoy!

Registered Dietitian Mitzi Dulan’s Natural 3 p.m. Energy Break Survival Tips 1. Staying hydrated throughout the day is an essential tool for maintaining a healthy and active lifestyle. Since honey naturally contains about 17 percent water, it dissolves easily. Just add some honey to water for a budget-

friendly sports drink.

2. Mix a nut butter and honey, or honey and light cream cheese, as a dip for fresh fruits or vegetables for a wholesome energy snack.

3. To maintain consistent energy levels throughout the day, select meals with adequate amounts of protein such as canned salmon, eggs or nut butters. Take time to prepare an easy lunch like canned salmon with mixed greens or a deviled egg sandwich on whole grain bread.

4. To keep up your energy, choose high fiber foods like whole grains (wheat, rye breads, quinoa) and legumes (beans, lentils).

5. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day and what you choose to eat sets the tone for the day ahead.

Plain or Greek-style plain yogurt with a teaspoon of honey and a handful of nuts is a nutritious way to kick-start the day.

6. For a 3 p.m. pick-me-up, try one of Mitzi’s personal favorite snacks: a whole wheat sandwich thin with nut butter, sliced banana and honey. It is a delicious way to power through the rest of your day.

Santulli urges Chemung County leaders to join fight against EPA inequity ELMIRA, NY — At a press conference recently, Chemung County Executive Tom Santulli announced he has recently sent a letter to all County leaders in the 16 New York counties which are part of the Chesapeake Bay Watershed urging their support in bringing litigation against the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

Santulli is proposing this litigation in response to the inequity in the pending EPA regulations regarding the Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) allocation to New York State and the outrageous financial burden this will place on counties.

The TMDL in effect is a pollution diet for nitrogen, phosphorus, and sediment levels for the Chesapeake Bay which the EPA has allocated to the seven jurisdictions, including New York and the District of Columbia. The EPA has developed these regulations to clean up the polluted Chesapeake Bay. “The unfairness in the EPA’s new regulations is that if the other five states that feed the Chesapeake Bay had New York State wastewater quality, the Chesapeake Bay would not be polluted,” said Santulli.

In Chemung County, the cost of the upgrades to our two wastewater treat-

ment plants would exceed $30 million, with the annual operating and maintenance costs associated with the upgrades estimated at $1.8 million. The cost estimates for the 16 counties in New York State to meet the standards is between $2 and $4 billion.

Santulli has received the support of Senator’s Schumer and Gillibrand, as well as the eight local Congressmen representing the affected counties, but the EPA has yet to make amendments to the stringent restrictions.

“I believe the only way we can prevent this massive financial unfunded mandate from occurring is by retaining a prominent law firm which will bring litigation against the EPA on our behalf,” said Santulli in his letter. “Even though this will be expensive, it will only be a fraction of the cost that we would spend to meet the regulations set forth by the Federal government.”

In addition to wastewater treatment plants, the EPA regulations would have a devastating effect on the agricultural industry within the state.

Once again, New York has made significant improvements in water quality in terms of per acre loads of nitrogen and phosphorus, far surpassing that of any other jurisdiction within

the Bay watershed.

Santulli is also urging taxpayers to join in this endeavor and place added pressure on our Federal officials who

have the ability to correct this problem and insure that New York State is treated in a fair and equitable manner.

National Farm-City Council seeks nominations for Charles Eastin Award WASHINGTON, D.C. — The National Farm-City Council, a nonprofit organization dedicated to enhancing links between farm families and urban residents, is now seeking nominations for the first annual Charles Eastin Outstanding Service Award, paying tribute to an outstanding individual who has contributed to FarmCity activities as an advocate for accurate communications between rural and urban audiences.

The award is in honor of Charles “Charlie” Eastin, DVM, who passed away earlier this year and played a fundamental role in Farm-City activities. A board member for many years, Charlie was especially active in plan-

ning and initiating Farm-City events in the Lexington, KY, area.

Nominees to the Charles Eastin Outstanding Service Award can be any person over age 25 who actively has supported national, state or local Farm-City initiatives. He or she can be nominated by anyone active in a FarmCity program.

The award will be presented to the recipient at the National Farm-City Symposium and Farm-City Week kickoff luncheon on Nov. 17, in Lexington, KY. The winner will be reimbursed for travel expenses.

Those interested in nominating an individual should go to the National Farm-City Council Web site at

www.farmcity.org for nomination rules and the application form. The completed application should be forwarded by Sept. 30 to the state Farm-City contact identified on the Web site.

If no state contact is identified, the application should be endorsed by the local Farm-City organizers and forwarded by Sept. 30 to National FarmCity Council, P.O. Box 6825, Reading, PA 19610; the National Farm-City Council will verify the credibility of the applicant. State Farm-City contacts should submit the application to contact@farmcity.org or to the National Farm-City Council mailing address by Oct. 7.

Those completing the nomination

should describe how this nominee has contributed to the success of FarmCity activities and provide evidence on the impact of this individual’s actions in organizing Farm-City events. A three-member committee, including at least one member of the National Farm-City Council, will judge the applications and select the recipient.

The National Farm-City Council works with local organizations with educational programs about people who grow their food. For those interested in organizing a local Farm-City event, go to the National Farm-City Web site at www.farmcity.org or call 202-406-3706.

Are ewe certified?

The American Wool Council (AWC) wants to remind producers that participation in the industry’s wool quality programs requires annual self certification. The council continues to encourage all producers to participate in the certified wool clip program in an effort to improve the quality of the U.S. wool clip. The program is designed to let purchasers of U.S. wool know what efforts growers have taken at shearing time to ensure a quality clip.

“The self-certification program requires the producer to submit the declaration and checklist each year,” said Ron Cole, American Sheep Industry Association consultant. “An annual re-certification offers producers the opportunity to review the steps that can be followed to improve the quality of a clip and to let the buyers know what steps they have followed at shearing time to prepare their clip.”

The certified program points out 10 steps that growers can follow to improve the quality of their clip. A few of the items are: • minimize contamination; • sort sheep by wool type prior to shearing; • package different types of wool and off-sorts separately; • use new and approved wool packaging materials; • label wool bales properly and keep a record; and • notify the buyer of the steps taken to improve the wool clip. The buyers of U.S. wool are also being asked to support the wool quality improvement programs by asking for certified wool clips.

“The reputation of the U.S. wool clip depends on

NFU president discusses farm bill issues at Sugar Symposium WASHINGTON, D.C. — On Aug. 3, National Farmers Union (NFU) President Roger Johnson spoke on a panel at the American Sugar Association Sugar Symposium entitled, “Farm Policy’s Future: Weathering the Storm in Washington.”

The symposium was held in Stowe, VT. “The 2012 Farm Bill faces quite a few hurdles, not the least of which is the budget situation,” said Johnson.

“The passage of the debt ceiling bill in Congress should help give us a better idea of how much money the U.S. House of Representatives and U.S. Senate Agriculture Committees will have to write the legislation. We still do not know exactly how much money we will have to write the next farm bill. Only time will tell. We do know that there will be less money available for the next farm bill, so it is critical that the agriculture community comes together to ensure that the next farm bill has everything we need, even if it doesn’t have everything we want.”

Jerry Hagstrom, director and executive editor of the Hagstrom Report moderated the panel, which featured Johnson, Mary Kay Thatcher, director of Public Policy for the American Farm Bureau Federation, and Rick Tolman, CEO of the National Corn Growers Association.

“One of the most essential things that must be included in any farm bill is a strong safety net to protect family farmers and ranchers,” said Johnson. “The Supplemental Revenue Assistance Payments (SURE) Program has no funding baseline past this year, and 36 other farm bill programs, including four other disaster programs, have no funding past next year. We must ensure that SURE and other disaster programs receive the funding they need. Between 1996 and 2002, the federal government made $30 billion in emergency payments to farmers and ranchers because it cut the safety

net from the 1996 Farm Bill, written during a time of high prices. We must not repeat that mistake. The cost to extend SURE and other disaster programs for

five years is a much more reasonable $8.9 billion. In the long run, including disaster programs in the farm bill is cost-effective.”

Governor Cuomo launches “Fresh Connect Farmers’ Markets” to benefit farmers and communities statewide Program marks first step of “Farm New York,” a comprehensive investment in the New York State agriculture industry Governor Andrew M. Cuomo on Aug. 9 announced the “New York Fresh Connect Farmers’ Markets” (FreshConnect) program, which launches new farmers’ markets and expands others around the State of New York. The program is designed to assist New York farmers by increasing the sale of locally-grown food in communities. The program will also bring fresh food to underserved communities, improve nutrition education, and help create local jobs.

The FreshConnect program marks the first step in “Farm New York,” the Governor’s new initiative to invest in the state’s agriculture industry, a vital component of the state’s economy. Farm New York will focus on ways to support and expand New York farms through farm product sales, branding, marketing, distribution, local food processing innovations, and improving the business climate by reducing the regulatory burden on farmers.

FreshConnect is designed to meet the needs of communities. In some places, new markets will serve rural or urban communities that do not have sufficient access to grocery stores; in others, markets will provide lowincome, high-unemployment neighborhoods with healthy, New York-grown produce, as well as jobs by staffing the markets with local youth. Other markets will provide residents and tourists with an array of New York farm fresh products.

“Farmers’ markets increase farm sales and revenue by bringing farm produce directly to the consumer,” Governor Cuomo said. “These markets also help underserved communities by providing fresh produce, nutritional education, and local jobs. The FreshConnect program empowers all New Yorkers to choose healthy, affordable, locally-grown food. This program is a win-win for farmers and consumers.”

Seven new markets are in the process of being launched in Harlem, Niagara Falls, Mount Vernon, Queens, the Bronx, Utica, and Sharon Springs.

Three new youth markets, which employ local residents, are being launched in Brooklyn and Nassau County, and a community-garden farmers market is being launched in

Queens. Existing markets in several other locations, including the large, wellknown North Tonawanda market, and mobile markets in Buffalo, Syracuse, and Central New York, which will deliver farm produce to senior centers and other central points of contact, will accept EBT or food stamps for the first time, broadening the reach of these markets to underserved members of area communities.

Under the program, the state provides the following services, as needed: offer up to $15,000 in funding per market; identify suitable markets; recruit farmers to participate; assist with marketing, promotion, nutrition education, community outreach, and other services; and coordinate with local officials and business groups.

To encourage greater consumption of fresh

fruits and vegetables, each market will be assisted in redeeming Food Stamps and other nutrition incentives, such as Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) Fruit & Vegetable Checks, Farmers’ Market Nutrition Program coupons, and Senior Farmers’ Market Nutrition coupons. The state will also provide new “FreshConnect” checks, which are $2 rebate checks for every $5 in food stamps

spent at a participating FreshConnect Farmers’ Market.

The Governor’s Farm New York program is a comprehensive strategy to maximize economic development opportunities and bring renewed investment to the agricultural sector of New York’s economy. It includes programs to develop New York’s regional farm-food system, increase access to credit

for farm businesses, expand food processing capabilities, and capitalize on emerging technologies to lower energy costs and foster the growth of renewable energy sources.

Farm New York is also expected to increase distribution of New York farm products and to improve the branding and marketing of New York organic and New York grown foods.

UNIVERSITY PARK, PA — Energy is a timely topic in Pennsylvania — whether it is biofuel from plants such as switchgrass, soybean or camelina, or natural gas extracted from the Marcellus Shale — so it’s no surprise that energy will be a focus at Ag Progress Days, Aug. 16-18.

Show attendees can collect fact-based and timely information on issues related to Marcellus Shale exploration, leasing and drilling from Penn State extension educators and commercial vendors at the Marcellus

Center on West 10th Street at the Ag Progress Days site.

“The development of the Marcellus Shale has impacted the agricultural community in many ways,” said Tom Murphy, extension educator and co-director of Penn State’s Marcellus Center for Outreach and Research.

“Our focus this year at Ag Progress Days will be to present science-based information on topics ranging from the latest research on industry workforce development to remediation techniques

after pipeline installation, and many other related subjects in between.”

Energy efficiency and conservation will be among the topics featured in the College of Agricultural Sciences Exhibits Building on Main Street. Daniel Ciolkosz, extension associate specializing in renewable and alternative energy, and other Penn State experts will staff a display where farmers and homeowners can ask questions about assessing current energy needs, identifying alternative energy sources and shopping for

a better price.

“Energy conservation is often the smartest way to improve your bottom line and make your operation more friendly to the environment,” said Ciolkosz.

“At Penn State Extension, we are working to help people make smart decisions about energy use and efficiency.”

Ag Progress Days visitors also will have the opportunity to talk with commercial exhibitors involved in alternative-energy opportunities and conservation. They are the primary focus for this year’s initiation of the En-

In addition, energy crops and biofuels will be the subject of an exhibit at the Crops, Soils and Conservation Tent on East Fifth Street. Information will be available about several varieties of plants that can be grown by farmers in the Northeast and converted into energy.

“Our team is working to develop bioenergy cropping systems that provide value-added co-products and soil-conservation benefits in addition to bioenergy,” said Greg Roth, professor of agronomy, who specializes in energy crops. “This work

will be on display at Ag Progress Days.”
