Katelyn Walley crowned New York Ayrshire Princess “I would like to be the New York Ayrshire Princess not for the crown or the sash or the honor, but for the responsibility. I believe that being the Ayrshire Princess should be a reward, but a job” said Katelyn Walley. Katelyn Walley, the 19 year-old daughter of Bill and Kim Walley of Gold-N-Ayr Farms, Walton, NY, was crowned the New York Ayrshire Princess during the New York Ayrshire Club picnic hosted at Cedarcut Farm, Cazenovia, NY. Walley, a sophomore at Cornell University, served as New York State Alternate Dairy Princess, was a member of
the National Champion Ayrshire Dairy Bowl Team from New York in 2011. She is a member of the Cornell Dairy Science Club and is serving as the Professional Development Chair of the Cornell University Sigma Alpha Chapter. Katelyn has been very active in 4-H and FFA on the county, state and national levels. She also is a New York State Farm Bureau Scholar and a Dairy Herd Improvement Scholar. Katelyn is very active on her family farm; Gold-N-Ayr Farm where they milk 45 registered Ayrshires. Starting at a young age she helped in the barn

and now can run the farm by herself. The farm is run entirely on family labor, which includes her father, herself and her five younger siblings and feels the Ayrshires are working just as hard for them. When asked how she has benefited from her experiences with Ayrshires, Katelyn replied, “Through my experience with Ayrshires, I have grown into the young women I am today. I find that many traits I now possess I have learned from my Ayrshires; hard work and efficiency.” Katelyn went on the say “I have also learned a lot from the Ayrshire community, I believe that all Ayrshire breeders share the same universal pride in the cattle they own, and this brings us all together; Ayrshire breeders are like family.” The 2010-2011 New York Ayrshire Princess, Sara Pulver, of Fort Edward,
NY, crowned Walley. Pulver was recognized and thanked for an outstanding job during her reign as Ayrshire Princess. Pulver traveled throughout New York and into New England representing the Ayrshire Breeders' of New York State. During her reign, Walley will promote the Ayrshire Breed and the dairy industry across New York State. She would like to “share her experiences with the Ayrshire cow to show all that they have to offer, and spread the word about their place not only in the show ring and pasture, but in our modern commercial dairy farms.” Ayrshires have so many great attributes that can solve a lot of problems modern farmers face, all we need to do is market these traits”. Walley said her “love for the Ayrshire breeds gives me the drive to promote the complete cow.”
Secretary Vilsack announces new animal disease traceability rule by Sally Colby Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack recently announced the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service’s (APHIS) proposed animal disease traceability (ADT) rule, which appeared in the Federal Register Aug. 9. “It’s been a long and very detailed process that required a great deal of outreach,” said Vilsack. “Knowing where diseased and at-risk animals are, where they’ve been and when, is very important in making sure we have a rapid response when animal disease events take place.” Vilsack explained that the eight public meetings held last year provided industry representatives and producers an opportunity to discuss the new framework, and for APHIS to provide additional details about the program. The proposed rule meets the four tenets initially laid out: it will be administered by states and tribal nations, will apply only to livestock moved interstate, encourages the use of low technology and will be implemented transparently through federal regulations and a full rule-making process. “Under this proposed rule,” said Vilscak, “livestock moved interstate would have to be officially identified and accompanied by an interstate certificate of veterinary inspection or other documentation such as an ownership statement or brand certificate.” Vilsack acknowleged that tracing capabilities
vary by species, especially for cattle where improved tracing is most needed. Vilsack says that the proposed regulations specify approved forms of official notification for each species, but added that livestock can be moved between shipping and receiving states with another form of ID, such as brands, as long as officials in the two jurisdictions agree on that identification. There will be exemptions for producers who raise animals to feed themselves their families and immediate neighbors. Animals that are moved interstate to a custom slaughter facility are also exempt. “We proposed this framework because increasing levels of official identification will help USDA more quickly identify which animals do not need to be held and tested in the conduct of a disease investigation,” said Vilsack. “This information can reduce the number of locations affected and the number of animals tested, thereby decreasing significantly the length of the investigation and the cost to producers and the government.” Vilsack noted that the sheep industry is clear evidence of how rapidly tracing can occur when identification is present. “Ninety-two percent of culled sheep bear an official tag,” he said. “In a 2010 incident, sheep were easily traced to flock of origin within minutes. On the other hand, low levels of official ID in the cattle sector require more cattle, often thousands of head, to be tested more than necessary, and it dramatically increases the time necessary to
conduct an investigation.” Vilsack says that although the system will not prevent disease, knowing where disease and at-risk animals are is indispensable during an emergency response and for ongoing disease programs. “Reducing the number of animal owners impacted by an animal disease event also reduces economic strain on the owners and affected communities.” Vilsack is hopeful that the new proposal is an adaptable system that will help respond to disease events quickly and minimize harm. “It’s flexible, yet coordinated, in its approach to traceability,” he said. “I think it embraces the strengths and expertise that exist in our states, tribal nations and producers, and empowers all of them to find and use traceability approaches that work best for them and their region.” He noted that the former system, which was voluntary, was not well-received among various industries. “The notion of ‘one size fits all’ was not well-received in the marketplace or by producers,” he said. “The reality is that there are different needs in different regions of the country. We’ve attempted to recognize the uniqueness of each region and each livestock sector to work with them and do a better job of traceability.” Vilsack estimated that less than 30 percent of producers were involved in the original plan, which led to situations where they had to test and respond to emergency situations with a ‘broad brush’. Chief veterinary officer for the United
States Dr. John Clifford says they’ve worked closely with the cattle industry and marketing sector in the development of the rule. “I can assure you that this rule will not impede commerce,” he said. “It’s not the responsibility of the market to determine the destination. After animals are sold and buyers determine where those animals go, they will get certificates for those animals if they are moving interstate. That can be done after the sale. We worked closely with states to give them maximum flexibility, but at the same time, make sure we have good traceability.” The department encourages producer feedback during the comment period, and says that that input, added to what they’ve already learned during the hearings and outreach, will help create a proposal that will be workable for producers and other stakeholders as well as meet the country’s need for an adaptable approach to animal disease traceability. “It will help us find animals associated with disease quickly,” said Vilsack, “and focus efforts on those animals and minimize the harm and economic loss to producers.” To comment on the proposed rule: Federal eRulemaking Portal: Go to www.regulations.gov/#!documentDetail;D=APHIS-2009-0091-0001.

The sign reads, “The Quinn Farm. James Quinn President. First Farm Bureau in the United States.

farmers of the long history of this proud organization. The Farm Bureau Federation was founded in 1911 in Broome County, NY (outside Binghamton), coincidentally at the same time as the Cooperative Extension. Yet few people remember that, leading to the question: how is that possible? Simple — the extension service, now known in New York State as Cornell Cooperative Extension — and the Farm Bureau are Siamese twins. When the Extension Service was founded, the Farm Bureau grew right up alongside it. Although their paths have diverged slightly and the two organizations eventually split — in 1954 — they still share the same mission of serving farmers and rural families through agricultural research and marketing, ensuring food safety and nutrition, educating children, offering legal and financial advice and products, as well as being an advocate for farmers on the local, state and national levels. Perrin, whose office is in Albany, was the keynote speaker at the annual meeting of CCE of Oneida County at the 123rd Boonville Oneida County Fair. Members of

Oneida County WIFE promotes New Quilt Trail by Pat Malin BOONVILLE, NY -— The Oneida County Convention and Visitor’s Bureau and the local Women In Farming (WIFE) chapter are literally showing off their green thumbs this summer. These green thumbs combine farming with an artist’s touch. Quilts painted by local WIFE members were on display at both the recent Boonville Oneida County Fair and the Farm Fest held at the DiNitto Farm in Marcy. Terri DiNitto of the DiNitto Farm and Kelly Blazosky, president of the convention and visitor’s bureau, announced at the Fair that three painted quilts are already on display at local farms as part of a tourism campaign. In addition to DiNitto Farm, the other quilts have been painted and erected on farms owned by Debbie Finn of Finndale Farms in Holland Patent, and Joan Smith of Smith Homestead Farm, Sauquoit.
The quilt-like patterns were painted on 8-by-8 feet wooden boards and on smaller 4 x 4 panels. Remi Link of Link Maple Farm, Taberg; and Linda Wightman of Wightman Farms, Clinton, also designed and painted quilts. “We will be developing a
self-guided trail map to direct sightseers on the Barn Quilt trail to visit our towns and villages in Oneida County and enjoy our agricultural icons,” said Bonnie Collins of Cornell Cooperation Extension. During the annual meeting of the Oneida
Kelly Blazosky, president of Oneida County Tourism (also known as O.C. Visitors and Convention Bureau), points to a small painted quilt that was created by the local WIFE chapter during a brief speech at the Oneida County Board of Legislators’ annual meeting at the Boonville Oneida County Fair last month.

County Board of Legislators at the Boonville Fair, Blazosky said she was familiar with the concept of painted quilts in her home state of Ohio and was anxious to transfer the idea here. A similar project has also served successfully as a tourist attraction in Iowa. CCE and The Dairy Promotion Board will underwrite the cost of publishing a map of local farms on the Quilt Trail. They are looking for sponsors to buy a quilt and advertise on the maps. Any farmer can purchase a quilt for their barns or any other structure. “It does not have to be an active farm, but must be on a farm that is well-kept,” said Collins. The barn or structure must be a stable, permanent building and be visible from the road during all seasons. It must be located along a hard-surface or gravel road that is maintained year-round.
show, “Lassie.” He asked how many recalled the iconic “extension agent” who drove a green pickup truck and occasionally appeared at Timmy’s farm. His point was that even 60 years ago, Farm Bureau and CCE were recognized for playing a major role in supporting farmers and agriculture. “The CCE, as we know it, is the same today as it was in 1911 and 1955,” said Perrin. As Perrin explained, the extension service was founded in 1911 as a means of educating and helping farmers and families in Broome County. In fact, the day before Perrin attended the Boonville Fair, he participated in a ceremony in the Binghamton area marking CCE’s birthplace. A plaque is affixed to a rock in a shopping center just off Interstate 81. In 1912, the extension service concept began spreading to other counties throughout New York State. According to Perrin, by 1918, 55 counties in New York State had formed their own extension services. In 1914, the first national convention was held. About this time, the service was placed in the hands of land-grant colleges like Cornell, so professionals could assist farmers by conducting valuable laboratory and field research. The American Farm Federation was formed in Washington, D.C., in 1917, to help farmers market their crops. The farm federation held its
first national conference in 1919 and the U.S. government began to notice the farmers’ growing influence. By an act of Congress in 1954, the Farm Bureau shed its link to its sibling and became an independent organization. The extension service was renamed “cooperative extension,” said Perrin. Today, the U.S. Department of Agriculture is the crown of the tree that represents the very broad extension service operation, with a significant number of branches extending down to the state and county levels. At the end of his speech, Perrin presented Oneida County CCE president Ken Brewer with a copy of a book detailing the history of the Farm Bureau. In a later interview, Perrin said, looking back at history, it was inevitable that CCE and the Farm Bureau would be split up because of the latter’s more aggressive political stance. Over the years, the Farm Bureau was taking the lead in representing crop and dairy farmers on various issues, and cajoling and influencing politicians on their behalf. “Farm Bureau became more of a lobbying organization… and when it started getting public funds, it became a concern,” he said. Perrin explained that he is required to be a registered lobbyist “by default.” If he has a conversation with the county executive, the legislators or state senators, for example, it’s clearly understood that Perrin is on a mission to express the farmers’ causes. “The farmers talk about the issues and they decide their positions on the issues,” said Perrin, noting that the county legislators determine how much funding to give to CCE and the Farm Bureau. Nevertheless, despite these changes behind the scenes, Perrin said the Farm Bureau and CCE have changed little on the surface, vowing to support farmers. They also want to be optimistic about the future. “At our 50th anniversary celebration in 1961, the president of the New York Farm Bureau said he was concerned about the decline of so many family farms in the Southern Tier,” Perrin told his audience. “See, some things haven’t changed at all.”

Q: I own a large parcel of undeveloped land, and have always let people use my property for hiking and cross country skiing. Can I be held liable if they have an accident and get hurt? A: No. Except in very rare circumstances, a property owner will generally be immune from liability for injuries sustained by third parties using his or her land for recreational purposes. As a general rule, New York law imposes a duty on land owners to use reasonable care to maintain their property in a reasonably safe condition. This duty extends to the protection of all persons whose presence on the property is reasonably foreseeable, including in some instances trespassers. If a third party is injured as a result of an unsafe or dangerous condition on the property that the owner knew or should have known about but negligently failed to correct, that owner can be held liable for the injury. This general rule, however, has been modified by Section 9-103 of the New York General Obligations Law. Under Section 9-103, an owner owes no duty to keep his or her property safe for those who use the land for certain specified recreational uses, and will generally be immune from liability for any injuries resulting from those uses. The public policy reflected in Section
9-103 is fairly straightforward — outdoor recreation is considered to be a good thing, and people need suitable places in which to engage in outdoor recreational activities. Property owners will be more likely to make their land available for recreational use if they do not have to worry about potential liability for injuries if people come on to their land. While the statute is aimed at encouraging property owners to voluntarily make their land available for recreational uses, Section 9-103 applies equally in cases where the use occurs without the owner’s knowledge or permission, or even where the owner has actively taken steps to prohibit use by, for example, posting no trespassing signs. The protections afforded by Section 9103 do come with a few caveats. First, the statute only applies to a specific list of recreational activities. The statute has been amended periodically to update the list of specified activities, and currently covers hunting, fishing, “organized gleaning”, canoeing, boating, trapping, hiking, cross country skiing, tobogganing, sledding, speleological activities, horseback riding, bicycle riding, hang gliding, motorized vehicle operation for recreational purposes, snowmobile operation, non-commercial cutting or gathering of wood, and the training of dogs. “Organized gleaning” is the harvesting of crops donated by the owner. Many common recreational activities — for example, swimming — are not listed in the statute, and therefore are not subject to owner immunity from liability. Second, Section 9-103 only applies

where use of the property is provided free of charge. In other words, a property owner loses the protection of the statute if he or she provides access to the property on a commercial basis or otherwise collects any fee for the use, no matter how small. For this reason, owners who might otherwise opt to charge a nominal fee for use may want to consider whether the small amount of revenue generated is worth the loss of the statutory liability protection provided under Section 9-103. Third, despite the general immunity granted under the statute, a land owner may nevertheless be held liable for injuries resulting from a willful or malicious failure to guard against, or warn of, a dangerous condition on the property. Simple carelessness on the part of the owner will not be enough to meet this standard. To be considered willful or malicious, the conduct must be done both intentionally and without any just cause or excuse. For example, in the past some property owners have tried to discourage
the use of all-terrain vehicles on their land by running chest-high cables or chains between posts located at the entrance of trails or paths. If a recreational user, even if trespassing, is injured as a result of coming into contact with such deliberately placed obstructions, the property owner may lose the immunity otherwise provided by Section 9-103 if he or she failed to sufficiently warn of the presence of the obstructions. For the most part, however, property owners who gratuitously allow third parties to use their land for one or more of the listed recreational activities may do so without worrying that they are exposing themselves to legal liability in the event of an accident.
Letter to the Editor Dairy farmers: do you want a pricing formula that covers your cost? For years, some of us have been pounding away for the need of a raw milk pricing formula that would cover the dairy farmers cost of production. I can remember back in the 1970s and early 80s when the former Eastern Milk Producers Dairy Co-op urged such a formula plus a reasonable supply management program. At that time, Eastern witnessed the same type of opposition that we are today. Some people say you can’t have a cost of production formula because every dairy farmers’ cost of production is different. Some say you can’t have it because no other agriculture commodity has such a formula. Others continue to say; I want to produce all the milk I want to, as long as someone will buy all my milk. Dairy farmers, if you continue to believe and support the above-mentioned reasons for not having a cost of production formula, then you know what? You will never get one! Of course milk is a heavy regulated commodity. The fact (as everyone knows) that milk is a wholesome product, but milk is very perishable and must be handled properly. The first and most important place to prevent milk from becoming perishable is at the dairy farm! Dairy farmers across the country have invested countless thousands of dollars to be sure when the raw milk leaves the farm the milk meets the top quality standards that have been established by proper health regulators. This is all great, but you know what? Someone forgot to tell the dairy farmers they should be rewarded with a price that covers their cost of production. Well Mr. and Ms. Dairy Farmer, let me tell you something — there is a proposal out there that will allow you the opportunity to cover your cost of production. It’s called the Federal Milk Marketing Improvement Act of 2011 (FMMIA). The FMMIA calls for your milk to command a price that covers the National Average Cost of Production, plus an opportunity to realize a profit. The FMMIA does not tell you how much milk you can produce, but it does say the following: If and only if there is over-production of milk, then those who over-produce will be penalized on their amount of over-production. (but just on the amount of over-production).
Please don’t buy into the argument that no other agriculture commodity has been priced with some type of a cost consideration. Please look at some of the grain programs where target prices and deficiency payments that helped keep thousands of grain farmers stabilized. As one grain farmer told me once from Ohio, “Once I collect my deficiency payments, I take off for Florida for the winter, while you dairy farmers must keep on milking your cows.” Of course every dairy farmer’s cost of production is different. As I said in Syracuse last week, every ones’ cost of production is different today. Is anyone crying today because your neighbor and other dairy farmers’ costs are higher or lower than yours? I have never heard one farmer complain that other dairy farmers are receiving the same starting price; even with a higher or lower cost of production. All the FMMIA wants to do is to give all dairy farmers an equal chance to stay in business with an adequate, stable price! The beauty of the FMMIA is the fact that the proposal is not geared to cost the U.S. government any funds. Oh, by the way, the assessments on over-production (if it happens) will be transferred to the Commodity Credit Corporation and will be used to purchase excess dairy products (if they exist) to be given to needy Americans! However, Mr. and Ms. Dairy Farmer, do you want to support FMMIA, or do you want to support the proposal that calls for the USDA to purchase insurance to help cover your feed cost, and then ask you if you want to cover other costs, you must buy additional insurance? The proponents of the insurance programs are now saying they are not aiming for a profit for dairy farmers. Isn’t that nice! So, the decision is yours. Mr./Ms. Dairy Farmer, do you want an adequate price for your raw milk as the FMMIA obtains for you, or do you want the government to buy an insurance program to help cover your cost and then tell you that you must obtain additional insurance to cover your costs. Remember, do you deserve a profit? The FMMIA will obtain it for you if you continue to manage your farm properly, (as you already are). The choice is very clear, but its up to the dairy farmers.

by A. Rock Cheese Curd, a dairy delicacy of increasing popularity, has spurred a new enterprise for Joseph and Susan Shultz, well respected farmers dwelling on #3 Road, Lowville, Lewis County, New York. Despite the nation’s economic angst, Ara-Kun farm has continued to produce quality milk in this oft bitterly cold, snow drenched region. Now the Shultz family has launched a new product for themselves and the community, which is mostly an agricultural hub in the Black River Valley between the foothills of the Adirondacks and the Tug Hill Plateau. Ara-Kun Farm had been established in 1973 by Thomas and Peggy Shultz whose dream was to own a dairy farm. Eldest son, Joseph Shultz, a 1984 graduate of Lowville Academy and Central School, was graduated from Cornell University
in 1988 majoring in Dairy Finance. He pursued other careers. He and his wife Sue, a 1998 graduate of Copenhagen Central School, married in 1999. They took over the farm in 1994 where they live with their 10 year-old son, Bronson. The Shultzes maintain 150 acres tillable and rotational grazing of 50 registered Holsteins. After deciding upon their new venture, the Shultzes have carefully researched the process, requirements, and financial commitment for producing cheese curd with their own freshly drawn milk. They read and traveled extensively to 15 or more cheese rooms. These included dairy farms in Watkins Glen, NY, Interlaken, and even Lancaster, Ontario, Canada, where they observed first hand the procedure, advantages and difficulties. Joe and Sue Shultz also attended a cheese making class through Jefferson County

Cooperative Extension in Watertown, NY, offered by Peter Dixon from “an upscale area of Vermont.” Joe states that, “It is a totally different world there where ‘artisan cheese’ sells for $15 to $20 per pound. Joe, who is on the Board of directors for the Lowville Dairy Farmers Co-op, says that in this region the biggest seller is cheese curd, and 2x and 3x cheddar is next. These are far from “The high priced realm.” In fact, one reason for launching the Shultz Family Farm Cheese Curd production is the high degree of popularity and its very reasonable price. “Curds Our Whey” is the tasty result. They sell a variety of cheese curd at their brand, spanking new Cheese Room for $6. Dennis Moore, Dairy Products Specialist II from the New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets “proved an immense help with his congenial ways and adroit advice,” explains Shultz. “He works in the Division of Milk Control and Dairy Services. He really knows his stuff and has helped us do everything by the book and get off to a great start.” “Greg Kulzer, the New York State Milk Inspector, who ranges from the Great Lakes to our own renowned Kraft Foods, Inc., in Lowville, NY, also has been very kind and helpful as well,” continued Joe Shultz. Freshness, quality, availability are keys to Shultz success. Milk fresh from their own cows is piped to their Cheese Room where it is pasteurized, processed, churned into curd, wrapped, and offered for sale in a nearby room. Just this spring the Shultzes had built a 20’ by 20’ addition to their meticulously kept red barn and milk house. The wood and metal building, with several spacious windows for light and a wondrous view Of Tug Hill (and its unique wind turbines) is even equipped with heat and air conditioning as well as a spotless stainless steel 250 gallon vat and all the needed shelving, tools, and pipes.

On Thursday, Aug 4, “Curds Our Whey” first went on sale, having been mostly promoted by word of mouth. Not one but several varieties of cheese curd are offered: plain, roasted garlic, Italian, jalapeno are for starters. “It has been a great success,” said Sue
product — Shultz Family Cheese Curds made off the
Shultz. “We are very pleased with the reception. Currently we produce the cheese curd once a week, but we will soon expand to two days. Then we will see what road we take next. The community, our family, and our friends have been very supportive. We couldn’t be happier with our quest.” Currently the Shultz Family Farm, “Curds Our Whey,” is sold right at their Cheese Room at Ara-Kun Farm. They also sell it at Nolts Country
Store, Paulie’s Meat and Fish Market, Doyle’s Pub of Lowville and at Mercer’s Ice Cream Dairy of Boonville, NY and local Farmers’ Markets. The Shultzes also plan to have their cheese curd available at the immensely popular Lewis County Cheese Festival in Lowville, NY, in September and at the Fall Foliage Tour in October. With much enthusiasm and a shy smile, Sue Shultz adds, “We couldn’t be happier. We’ve had a bang up start!”

Crop Comments by Paris Reidhead Field Crops Consultant Successful succession The Otego Creek starts somewhere in Exeter Township in northern Otsego County, the county I’ve called home for 38 years. It winds south for several miles and cuts through Hartwick Village, finally spilling into the mighty Susquehanna… then 400 or so miles later, into the Chesapeake Bay. What’s fascinated me, as I study local geography, is the fact that this creek doesn’t go through Otego, neither the village nor township bearing that name. Recently, a study of local history, which included a look at a Civil War-era map, enlightened me. During that period, the spur-shaped part of Plainfield Township, in northwest Otsego County, actually belonged to Oneida County. And eastern Otego Township was bounded by the Otego Creek, thus solving what had been… at least to me… a mystery. Sometime in the last century and a half, western Oneonta Township expanded to claim the Otego Creek. A part of that creek’s flood plain, just a few miles from where I live, experienced a little more history recently. One particular field, about 25 acres, has been part of the same farmstead for scores of years. Since 2007, I have followed that field’s crop husbandry, or lack thereof, closely, and have written about it. This field has been part of a corn silage /hay rotation for quite some time. New owners in 2007 planted corn, and did so again in 2008. Two years of corn certainly isn’t a problem. Manure from 80 cows going onto 25 acres, be-

cause this field lies opposite the free-stall barn housing those animals, is a problem. A state highway separates the field from that barn. By my calculations this field received 30-40 tons of cow manure during each of those two years. Just before the 2009 growing season, intense mismanagement resulted in a panicked liquidation of the surviving members of this herd, as well as the associated farm equipment. So all that was left were some buildings, some hay meadows, and the 25 acre corn piece, which would now lay fallow. This ground is welldrained silt loam, primarily Chenango type, which means that surplus nitrates, from manure or commercial fertilizer, rapidly leaches down to the water table. A nutrient management plan shows that this soil can process about 15 tons of cow manure per year. Where the rest of the nutrients go isn’t exactly rocket science. I’ll give you a clue: south of the Mason-Dixon Line. Mother Nature used a plant of her choice to take care of her abandoned 25 acres. In November 2009, I identified it as Ambrosia artemisiifolia. Both of my weed texts said that this plant is an erect, branching, summer annual which grows from 20 inches to 80 inches tall. Most germination takes place in May and June when soil temperature is 50-80 degrees Fahrenheit. Really warm soil temperatures (over 86 degrees) inhibit germination. Rarely in 2009 did we get air temperatures, let alone soil temperatures, that warm. (Remember, 2009 was the year that blight
destroyed most of the Northeast’s tomato crop.) The most infamous trait of this weed is that it causes hay fever. Most of us refer to Ambrosia as common ragweed. The good news is that cultivation and mowing will chase away ragweed, and that a good slug of lime and rock phosphate would encourage some long-dormant clover seeds to appear next year. Absent the mowing, lime, and phosphate, I predicted that goldenrod would replace the ragweed in 2010. As soon as the 25 acres began to green up during the following spring, I examined the vegetation closely, but it was mostly ragweed, so I felt a little silly. But by the middle of summer 2010, something strange had occurred: the predominant weed species
was now Solidaga glaberrima, known most commonly as goldenrod. So I stopped feeling silly as goldenrod had pulled into the lead, and went on to win the weed race that year. Goldenrod is a wimpy weed, since one mowing usually sets it back so badly that desirable vegetation, such as canarygrass, brome grass, and trefoil, often lurking in the shadows, can spring to life and replace Solidaga (which can be almost as sneezy as Ambrosia). My friend Jerry crops land adjoining the 25 acres. I told him that he should get the OK from whomever owned the land to mow it, so as to let the desirable herbage sneak back in to become a harvestable crop. Jerry replied, “To be honest, Paris, we don’t know who owns the land now.” So the goldenrod, left alone, poked its grayishtan tops through the deep snows of the 20102011 winter. When spring 2011 finally chased away these snows, I saw that some-

squarters it was. One of my weed texts said that this weed loves high organic matter with good decay and lots of phosphorus; 80 tons of manure per acre in two years will provide that. That was the bad news. The good news is that lambsquarters is friendly. Immature heads of this weed make decent salad greens, and stir-fry quite well. I told Jerry he should mow the weeds, wilt them, and make them into balage. Then get them forage-tested, and advertise the resulting feed as a mixed hay crop, which it is, one with nice-looking feed values… claims which ragweed and goldenrod could never make. More good news: once the lambsquarters is wrapped and lined up along the field’s edge, the sorghum should appear out of nowhere and stage a come-back.

one had worked up the 25 acres, and that made me happy. By early June, the field began to green up very nicely: whatever had been seeded was off and running. Two weeks ago, Jerry called me up for advice. He said that someone had purchased the 25 acres from the bank that had foreclosed on the place, and wanted him to work the land, and wouldn’t charge him any rent. Jerry plowed and disked the field, then spun on some sorghum the first week of July. But, he said, the sorghum is being well drowned out by lambsquarters. I told him that from the state highway, it looked like a wonderful stand of pre-bloom red clover. He assured me it was lambsquarters (let’s dispense with the scientific names). He asked me to look at the field. Which I did. Lamb-

by Michael Pettengill For farmers and ranchers, upholding one’s duty to defend and protect the liberties and ideals for which our nation stands is not a choice, but rather a debt owed by all Americans. This patriotic spirit has been engrained in rural agricultural communities since the birth of our nation. Even today, more than 44 percent of all
s
U.S. military troops boast rural roots. America’s farmers and ranchers have always demonstrated unwavering commitment to protecting our nation from threats both foreign and domestic. And, as the U.S. faces the growing threat of individual acts of terrorism, farmers are honoring their national duty by supporting Department
of Homeland Security regulations on ammonium nitrate, a fertilizer used to provide essential nutrients to crops. While many farmers and ranchers have transitioned away from ammonium nitrate, the compound is still used as a nitrogen source for many crops, particularly in warmer climates. However, in the right concentrations ammoni-

um nitrate can be added to explosive devices to increase the magnitude of explosions. Ammonium nitrate was used in several terrorist attacks including the 2005 London underground bombings, and the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing that killed 168 innocent U.S. citizens and cost the U.S. $1.35 billion. In 2007, new legislation instructed DHS to step up existing efforts to protect the nation from the potential misuse of ammonium nitrate. Earlier this summer DHS announced initial steps creating the Ammonium Nitrate Security Program. Unlike previous DHS programs focused primarily on security at high-risk chemical facilities, ANSP is designed to increase controls and monitoring of sales, purchases and transfers of the product. Purchasers, sellers and individuals involved in the transfer of ammonium nitrate products containing 30 percent or more of the compound by weight would be required to register for ap-
American Farm Bureau Federation proval by DHS. The registration process is estimated to take about two hours and will require a payment every five years (based on volume purchased) that the agency estimates would average from under $100 to $832 for farm use. Purchasers who use ammonium nitrate, but never come in direct contact with it are not required to register. According to DHS, the program will be cost-effective if it prevents just one attack the same size of the Oklahoma City bombing every 14 years. In keeping with farmers’ and ranchers’ commitment to protecting our great nation, Farm Bureau is working to support efforts that help further secure ammonium nitrate. This includes requiring individuals making purchases to show positive identification and increased agency oversight of sales, provided undue burdens are not placed on farmers, fertilizer distributors and dealers.

are proud to produce agricultural products to meet the growing global demand for food. Now more than ever, it is important that we provide our farmers and ranchers with every tool at our disposal. However, we must also keep in mind that the risk of ammonium nitrate being used to commit acts of terror is real. The new standards will allow farmers and ranchers to assist DHS in monitoring ammonium nitrate, while still ensuring the product is available for agricultural production. While national security must come first, food security is equally important in ensuring the success of our nation and its economy. Through the combined efforts of both DHS and our farmers and ranchers, we can achieve balance between the two. Michael Pettengill is a public relations intern at the American Farm Bureau Federation.

Getting a driving license If you were to ask any
red-blooded American farm boy what he most anticipates, he would
up for deliveries. Only seven at the time, his older brothers just pulled the hand throttle out and told him to steer, even though he could barely see over the windshield. Well, WC’s day finally came when he was 16 and had passed his driv-
ing test. None of the older brothers wanted to drive all the way to town, 15 miles away, then wait in line for hours just to unload the cherries, so WC volunteered and he and his sidekick HL took off to the big city with the overloaded truck. Everything went as planned, except they had a long hill to climb when they hit town. It took all those years of experienced driving to get to the top of that half-mile hill. They had to start out in low low, then shift up to low high and hope that it could make it. But as luck would have it, the truck had been loaded a little heavier than usual and they had to keep it in low, low all the way up the long hill. By the time they got to the top, going five miles per hour, there was a long line of cars behind them. After waiting one hour to unload, they finally were ready to make the 15-mile trip back to the farm. But since it was already dark and WC knew that he could legally drive after dark, working for his father’s farm, the duo decided to take a little detour through the big city. All of a sudden they heard a police siren blasting, but they knew they weren’t illegal so they kept right on going.
Finally getting their attention, the police officer confronted the two youths and told them that they were going down a one way street, the wrong way.” WC looked around and asked, “Was there a one way sign?” The policeman said, “There was one way back.” After showing the officer everything, he stated that WC was driving illegally after dark with a junior license. WC told the officer that he was delivering cherries to the cannery for his father. After talking with the policeman they found out the officer knew his father and hunted pheasants on the farm. He warned the two firmly, then sent them on their way with a warning. WC wondered why all the policemen around knew his father and always suspected that his four older brothers had something to do with it! I can guarantee that this wasn’t the only time WC journeyed the wrong way down a one way street. Don’t fear anything except the Lord of the armies of heaven! If you fear him, you need fear nothing else. He will be your safety: (Isaiah 8:13 & 14) TLB1

Hay for Texas Group seeking donations for farmers to feed their livestock A group of concerned citizens in Chenango County, New York has started a project to help Texas farmers feed their livestock in the midst of what experts say is the worst drought in that state’s history. “It’ll be Americans helping Americans for a change,” said Herman Sherwood-Sitts, one the organizers of the effort. The project began Aug.1 and Hay for Texas has collected 74.5 tons of hay so far, including 26.5 tons donated by an individual from Endicott in Broome County. The immediate goal of Hay for Texas is to collect 80 tons, which it is estimated will feed 4,000 cows for one day. The biggest obstacle the project is facing is finding a way to transport the
hay to where it needs to go. SherwoodSitts said he has attempted to get tractor-trailer operators to help, “but so far, no one’s stepped up to the plate.” According to Sherwood-Sitts, at his urging, Utica-area Rep. Richard Hanna sent a letter to Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Aug. 15 requesting the use of the New York Air National Guard to transport the hay. The request is within the realm of the Air Guard’s capabilities a lieutenant-colonel told him, SherwoodSitts said. “They needed (the hay) last month and we’re going to try to get it to them this week,” he said. The ultimate goal of Hay for Texas is to have the effort spread throughout the Northeast to provide as much hay as possible to the farmers for

NELSON, NY — A fire raged through the headquarters of Cazenovia Equipment Company Thursday night and into Friday morning, Aug. 11-12. The John Deere Dealership’s main showroom, located at 3200 U.S. Route 20 in the Madison County town of Nelson, was completely destroyed. According to company CEOs and coowners Jim and Mike Frazee, the location is the headquarters for nine other Cazenovia Equipment retail outlets
throughout Central and Northern New York. The brothers spoke briefly of the devastation, “This year marks the 50th year anniversary of Cazenovia Equipment, and it all started right here in Cazenovia, NY. My family and the larger family of Cazenovia Equipment have endured hardships and shall continue to do so. We are thankful that no employees were injured.” The company’s phone system was destroyed in the blaze affecting local
telephone communication to stores located in Chittenango, Cortland, Clinton, Herkimer, Oneonta, Lafayette, Lowville, Sandy Creek and Watertown. An emergency phone directory has been posted to aid customers with questions and concerns at the company Web site, www.cazenoviaequipment.com. “We hope to restore the communications system as soon as possible and would like to encourage vendors and non critical inquiries to be
forwarded by e-mail if possible,” said Jim Frazee. A list of e-mail addresses for various departments and direct phone numbers for key customer service team members was also posted at the company’s Web site.

The Moo News
Newsletter of Penn Dutch Cow Care by Hubert J. Karreman Hi Folks, What’s in a name? What does a name relay to us? What do we associate with different names? How does a name affect how we interact with whomever or whatever it is — whether it is plant, animal or person? For instance, “deadly nightshade” — is it always “deadly”? Or could deadly nightshade have some interesting characteristics in its growth or preference for soil type that we don’t even think about because we simply see “deadly nightshade” and tremble? For sure, I have never liked when a cow has no actual name but is only known by an ear tag or neck chain number. This is in part because I can’t remember a cow by its number if my life depended on it. I’m simply not a “numbers guy”. Yet I can remember cows with real names for many years. Ask some farmers around Lancaster County and they will likely agree. The other reason I haven’t like cows being given only a number is that I have thought that it shorts them out of a personality. Indeed, names for animals can provide the animal with instant character. The potential problem is that when we give a name to an animal (especially if it in some way reflects a behavioral
pattern of the animal), we tend to lose sight of the animal as its own individual being. Granted, a warm name like Cuddles will probably make for a cow that everyone instantly likes. Oppositely, a name like Jerk will make for a cow no one likes much nor will people be as likely to gladly help her if she needs it, compared to one named Cuddles. Each cow may have “earned” the name, but then it sticks forever and we sum up the animal in one breath. When I was taking blood samples every few weeks from a herd a couple months ago, the herdsperson would tell me the name of the cow and then perhaps tell me of some interesting tidbit about the cow. Granted, I definitely like to know the story of the animal in front of me. We veterinarians always like to get as much history as possible, though at times the telling of innocent barn history of a cow can throw us off track! But what I have come to realize is that while I’ve always enjoyed getting a short story along with a name of the animal, even simply knowing a name can actually “blind” me to connecting with the animal directly on a “being to being” basis. This may be due to pre-conceived notions I may have with whatever name an animal has. For instance, I have found that many
Farm Family is proud to recognize Eric J. DeSimone, CLU for outstanding achievement in 2010. Agricultural and Commercial Agent of the Year
DHI & DAIRY SECTION female animals named Hazel seem to have odd, quirky temperaments. I’m not sure if this is a case of behavior following a given name or a name following a given behavior pattern, but the name Hazel is kind of old fashioned and perhaps implies an odd, quirky type nature. Now, is this actually fair to the animal? The cow Hazel I am thinking about is generally known to be kind of witchy and kicky. And, granted, I will
always listen to a farmer in regards to a potentially kicky cow. So for a few sessions of taking blood samples, we restrained her very well before I even got near her and I even ended up taking blood from her jugular vein one time because of her thrashing to get free of the restraints. However, the last time I got a blood sample from her, I simply approached her quietly. In my

Backwash — Teat Contamination: Backwash, back-spray, back-flow, sprayed, reverse flow — call it anything you want but the result is the same, your milking machine is driving milk and bacteria back against the teats while milking. You can find any number of ways to describe the well-known fact that your conventional milking machine soaks the teats with milk while forcing bacteria up the canal causing mastitis. This is a problem you simply cannot dip away. Obviously WestfaliaSurge knows it is a problem and is testing your I.Q. trying to sell you their IQ claw, and of course dip still required. Further consider that research by Dr. Derek Forbes has proven that the liner pinch of your machine also drives bacteria up the canal causing mastitis — basically a reverse milking action.

usual way of using the backs of my fingers to touch the tail to alert the cow of my presence, she momentarily clamped down her tail and then relaxed. After that, with calm and peaceful intent, I gently lifted her tail and drew the blood sample. No problems whatsoever. Another cow, with the cute name of Babette,
was nothing but trouble, even though the herdsperson told me glowing stories of her before hand. I guess a nice story with a friendly name like Babette calmed me into a false sense of security. I then mentioned to the person that knowing the name of the cow isn’t as important as knowing the cow herself
as an individual being. That large creature is a conscious, highly aware being that has a private life separate of the temporary interaction with people at milking time. She thinks and perceives the world in ways that only cows do. And she knows every cow there quite well, in “cow-ways” which we will never truly know — and yet she knows not one of their names. Once we let go of names we can start to understand animals as they truly are, rather than how we project our thoughts upon them. Only then can we truly connect ourselves with them — and they to us. This is best done by gazing into their eye for a few moments and catching their gaze returned to us. With cows this can be
deeply penetrating, giving one a sense of “bovinity” and their wild ancestors — the bison and buffalo. It is then that a complete realization of their individuality can be experienced: a clear awareness of their individual presence in our midst. It is then that we can understand that the world will be experienced by them in quite a different, unique way than we do. The outcome of such awareness is a true respect for diversity, especially biodiversity for life in our midst on the farm. Whether it is a bird looking for a place to land or a plant rooted and drawing up the earth’s minerals to grow, each life form adds to Life. What would a cow’s most complete experience of life, if we weren’t involved? What is the
highest “cow-ness” a cow can achieve? In the case of ruminants, it would be grazing forages and forbs. For an individual cow, regardless of what we may name her, it would to be blended in with her herd mates, not drawing attention to herself, yet knowing each and every subtle movement of her herd mates in ways we simply will never truly understand. After bringing the cows into fresh pasture when afternoon milkings were done, I remember well sitting on the ground and simply being there: listening to the cows rip at the grass to eat it, then move along and rip at more grass. Combining this with a colorful sunset and crickets chirping, lightening bugs blinking and cicadas resounding, a sense of knowing what a cow experiences in her own element emerges — Bovinity! This is a deeply calming experience, allowing one to immerse and be one with other living beings — they going about their life as if you weren’t even there. This allows you to see these wonderful animals for the beautiful, peaceful beings
that they are, both individually and as a group. They don’t mind you’re there, after all they know you quite well — and guess what, they don’t even know your name. Removing filters, like names, allows us to connect directly with life around us at a heart felt level. Try it, even if just occasionally. It is a very revealing yet humbling experience. I’m pretty sure there is some sort of innate bond between humans and cows, with cows surrendering some of their “cow-ness” while people hopefully surrender some of their pre-conceived notions and mindfully blend themselves into the herd, to become clear and aware of their cows’ bovinity. Indeed this is the case for any truly dedicated cow person. And as we will continue to name and number cows — just remember to occasionally look beyond the name or number for the individual that is there. “The real journey of discovery consists not of seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes…” Marcel Proust.

In just the last four years, close to 20 percent of this nation’s dairy farms have closed their doors for good, wreaking havoc on rural families and economies. “Crisis hotlines have been at record levels as have the level of farm bankruptcies and auctions — all signaling that something is seriously wrong,” states Ben Burkett, President of the National Family Farm Coalition (NFFC). The primary cause? Dairy farmers receive unfair prices for their milk that come nowhere close to covering their cost of production. The need to reform federal policy is clear, however, the
Senate Agriculture Committee is hesitant to act because of a lack of consensus within the dairy industry. The lack of consensus is actually among the marketers and processors whose interests are at odds with dairy farmers. The National Milk Producers Federation’s (NMPF) “Foundation for the Future” plan, which is the basis of Representative Collin Peterson’s recent dairy reform proposal, has serious potential to further drive raw milk prices down and also marginalize nearly 20 percent of the nation’s remaining dairy farmers who cannot participate in an insurance-based program due to reli-
gious beliefs. But dairy farmers have a different solution: one that will affect real, lasting change. “What we need is a new pricing system that requires the processors and/or marketers to pay a fair price for the milk they purchase from dairy farmers,” said Wisconsin dairy farmer Paul Rozwadowski. The Federal Milk Market Improvement Act of 2011 would enable farmers to earn a decent living without being dependent on a government subsidy because milk buyers would pay a fair price. NFFC has delivered a letter to key Congressional allies, urging them to
co-sponsor The Federal Milk Market Improvement Act of 2011. America’s dairy farmers need swift action in Congress before it is too late.

Dairy farmers: fair milk prices needed to stop the bleeding in rural America
Section A - Page 18 August 22, 2011 • Let Them Know You Read COUNTRY FOLKS •
The Agriculture Department reduced its 2011 milk production forecast for the first time since April, despite rising cow numbers. Its July World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates report says “Although the July Cattle report indicates that producers are holding relatively large numbers of dairy replacement heifers which supports a higher forecast dairy herd, recent hot, humid weather and relatively high priced feed may constrain the growth in milk per cow.” The report predicts 2011 milk output to hit 195.6 billion pounds, down 100 million pounds from the July estimate. The 2012 forecast is for 198.8 billion, unchanged from a month ago, but above 2011 reflecting a larger herd in the first part of 2012 but slightly slower growth in milk per cow. Commercial exports for 2011 were forecast higher on the strength of

butterfat. Imports were lowered reflecting less cheese and milk proteins. Trade forecasts for 2012 were unchanged. Cheese, butter, and whey prices were forecast higher for 2011 but nonfat dry milk (NDM) was forecast lower. Tighter milk supplies are expected to support higher product prices, according to USDA, but softening international prices will likely weigh on U.S. NDM markets. The Class III price forecast was raised based on higher forecast cheese and whey prices, but lower forecast NDM prices will outweigh higher butter prices so the Class IV price forecast was reduced. Look for the Class III price to average $18.40-$18.60 per hundredweight, up from $18-$18.30 expected in last month’s report. The 2012 average was projected to range $16.10-$17.10, up a dime from a month ago. The 2010 average was $14.41 and an anemic
$11.36 in 2009. The 2011 Class IV price is expected to range $19.05-$19.35, down from last month’s $19.15$19.55. The 2012 average was put at $16.45$17.55, down a nickel from last month and compares to $15.09 in 2010 and $10.89 in 2009.
NFDM prices for 2012 were forecast lower on expected weaker earlyyear demand but cheese prices were forecast slightly higher. Forecast butter and whey prices were unchanged from last month. Dairy Profit Weekly editor Dave Natzke detailed
the feed side of things in Friday’s DairyLine. He reported that USDA lowered its 2011 corn production estimate compared to a month ago. The corn harvest is now forecast at 12.9 billion bushels, up 4 percent from 2010, but down 4 percent from last
month’s forecast. With the lowered forecast, USDA raised the seasonaverage projected midrange price for corn to $6.70 per bushel. The 2011 soybean harvest forecast was downgraded slightly from a month ago, to 3.1
Mielke A19
billion bushels, down 8 percent from last year. With smaller supplies, season-average prices were raised 3-4 percent, to a projected mid-range of $13.50 per bushel, and $370 per ton for soybean meal, according to Natzke. Production of the other major dairy feedstuffs, dry alfalfa and other hay was also lower. The alfalfa hay harvest forecast was lowered 4 percent from a year ago and the harvest of other hay was forecast down 14 percent from last year. “The news isn’t good for farmers already stressed by recordhigh hay prices this summer,” Natzke concluded. Cooler weather in the Midwest has reduced stress on animals and farmers however milk production is not likely to rebound to previous levels real soon. The extreme heat and humidity that covered most of the U.S. brought declines of 10-30
percent, according to USADA, with the exceptions of California, Utah, Idaho, and the Pacific Northwest. Much of Texas remains in the oven, with several cities about to shatter records set in the heat wave of 1980. Class I demand has increased in the Southeast and in some urban areas where schools have or are about to start their fall terms. Manufacturing schedules are lighter in the Central and Eastern regions due to the reduced milk supply with some plant managers concerned over the future available milk supplies. Internationally; the winter season continues to make its presence known with cold temperatures and snow in New Zealand while wet in Australia. Producers and handlers remain optimistic about the upcoming production year. Although too early to tell, milk producers and han-
dlers in New Zealand project a 3-5 percent increase with Australian estimates near 1-2 percent. The new season resumes in 4-6 weeks and a few weeks later for Australia. Increased milk production in those countries can mean lower international dairy prices however California’s Milk Producers Council’s August 5 newsletter says “Global demand, led by China, Russia, India, and several Southeast Asian nations is still being projected to absorb those increases and more.” Back on the home front, effects from Standard & Poor’s downgrade of U.S. debt, may not have a direct effect on dairy, according to eDairy economist Bill Brooks in their August 8 Executive Edition. He said “It takes a while for development like that to filter through, to see how it impacts demand and production.” To become

Monday’s downgrades on Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae, farm lenders, and similar entities prompted major equity indexes to drop. The University of Wisconsin’s Dr. Brian Gould warned in Tuesday’s DairyLine that, “When the quality of the bonds goes down the cost of attracting money for those bonds has to go up because they’re viewed as more risky.” “If that holds true then those short term and medium and long term loan costs could go up for the ag sector.” He added that the markets “aren’t reacting as we would have thought in terms of significant increases in those interest rates but it’s a wait and see because we’ve never been in this state before.”
Gould also called on producers to “look at both sides of the coin.” The industry is seeing volatility because of fluctuation in the grain prices, he said, and that affects the revenue and the cost side. When looking at the relative volatility of feed versus the Class III milk price since 2006, feed markets have been just about as volatile in terms of month-to-month variability, according to Gould. Gould’s analysis includes a series of 16 percent dairy rations and how it varied relative to the Class III price since the BFP formula in 1995. He reported that, “Between 2000 and 2005 we did have relatively stable feed prices and we didn’t need to be concerned about margins, all we had to do is look at the milk price. But, since 2006, the volatility measures that I’ve looked at are about equal with re-

spect to the 16 percent dairy ration that I put together versus the Class III milk price so again that implies that you need to look at both the revenue side and the feed side since feed is such a high portion of total cost of production.” Plants and buyers are concerned about cheese demand, reports California’s Milk Producers Council (MPC). It warned that “The U.S. economy continues to barely grow, and consumer confidence is not much higher than it was at the depth of the recession. The concern about cheese demand is healthy for the industry; it is causing both sides to become cautious.” Jerry Dryer, editor of the Dairy and Food Market Analyst, sees things a little differently. He wrote in his August 5 issue; “Some folks continue to look for a sizable downward correction in the cheese price, but it just doesn’t seem to be in the cards. Almost all of the manufacturers and distributors/brokers I talked to this week reported good orders.” A major converter reported that it is currently running its plants six days a week; another said, we’re much busier than usual for this time of year. A third added: “Our volumes are about equal to a year ago.” Sales into retail and foodservice are both enjoying fairly good volumes, according to Dryer, based on evidence

Dairy Center Program offers farmer-to-farmer advising HARRISBURG, PA — Dairy farm families can add experience and expertise to their farm management team by tapping into the Center for Dairy Excellence’s Practical Dairy Advisor Program, which partners farmers with seasoned producers with similar management styles. “Dairy farmers can benefit greatly from another producer’s experiences,” said John Frey, executive director of the Center for Dairy Excellence. “The Practical Dairy Advisor Program identi-
fies other producers who can bring expertise, mentoring, and insight to the dairy operation.” Practical dairy advisors can provide advice on reaching higher milk production, improving reproduction or milk quality, heifer and calf raising strategies, identifying operational bottlenecks, working through an expansion or modernization, or transitioning to a different style of dairying. They also add an extra dimension to farms’ target or profit teams.
Mielke from A23 close to covering their cost of production,” the press release said, and called for “a new pricing system that requires the processors and/or marketers to pay a fair price for the milk they purchase,” according to Wisconsin farmer Paul Rozwadowski. “The Federal Milk Market Improvement Act of 2011 would enable farmers to earn a decent living without being dependent on a government subsidy because milk buyers would pay a fair price,” he said. NFFC has called on lawmakers to co-sponsor the legislation “before it is too late.” MPC’s Rob Vandenheuvel remains adamantly behind National Milk’s FFTF, saying “Independent thinking has been a luxury the dairy industry enjoys and often benefits from. But every once in awhile, a time comes for dairy farmers from coast-to-coast to unite behind a common plan. That time is now with FFTF.” Vandenheuvel’s perspective is featured in MPC’s newsletter and appears in the September editions of Western DairyBusiness and EasternDairyBusiness
Gary Genske, CPA, managing partner with Genske, Mulder & Company and a member of the National Dairy Producers Organization (NDPO) board, asks producers to compare the FFTF with one developed by NDPO, called the “Dairy Industry Stabilization and Sustainability Act of 2011.” Genske also shares his comments in an editorial in Western DairyBusiness. The FFTF got a thumbs-down from Jim Eichstadt, a Wisconsin-based dairy consultant and former general manager of the Farmers Union Milk Marketing Cooperative (now Family Dairies USA). Eichstadt urged supporters of the FFTF to be “skeptical,” charging that National Milk is “not working for the best interest of grassroots dairy producers.” National Milk maintains that its proposal is national in scope and applies equally to all producers, according to a press release Thursday. Details are posted at www.futurefordairy. com. Rep. Mike Simpson (R-ID) announced this week that he will be a cosponsor of the draft legislation that includes the elements of the FFTF.
“Some producers talk with their practical dairy advisor frequently to discuss ideas and troubleshoot issues,” Frey said. “Others use their practical dairy advisors almost exclusively through their profit team meetings.” To enroll in the Practical Dairy Advisor Program, complete the application on the center’s Web site at www.centerfordairyexcellence.org. Click on “Producer,” then on “Request a Practical Dairy Advisor.” Producers can also contact the Center for Dairy Excellence at 717-346-0849.
Once enrolled in the program, each farm will either be assigned a practical dairy advisor or be offered options for advisors. Throughout the process, the center will work with the applicant and advisor to make sure the relationship is a good fit for the farm and the producer providing his or her expertise to the operation.

tion for maintaining a well-kept farmstead. This organic dairy located in the Southern portion of the county joins the prestigious list of over 30 Oneida County dairy farms and 1,500 farms throughout the Northeast that convey the message to consumers that attractive, well maintained dairy businesses contribute to the positive image of quality dairy products and local agriculture. Originally from Rensselaer County in Eastern New York State, the Helleskovs relocated from their conventional dairy operation to their current location in 2005 with the intentions of exploring the organic milk market. As luck would have it, they were able to purchase farm land that had been left fallow for nearly five years, allowing them to easily transition into the certified organic market. Slightly more time consuming was the transition process for the milking herd of 43 Milking Shorthorn, Holstein, and Jersey crosses. Despite the challenges associated with preparing to farm organically, the Helleskov were able to achieve certification much sooner than the typical transition period of three or more years. Eric and Clara have put a significant amount of time and effort into
properly amending their soils in order to achieve optimal nutrition for this intensive grazing herd. All forages are home grown and consist of approximately 55 acres of hay crop silage and baleage, as well as dry hay. An additional 10 acres is used to grow corn for corn silage. While limitations in land availability prevent the couple from growing their own grains, a minimal amount of purchased organic grain is fed to the milking herd as well as the 43 head of replacements. This dedicated farming couple tackles the daily grind single handedly with no hired labor and prides themselves on the meticulous attention paid to milk quality and maintaining low somatic cell counts (SCC). Eric attributes the farm’s ability to achieve repeated milk quality and SCC awards to routinely maintaining, servicing and cleaning the milking equipment, while placing emphasis on cow comfort and cleanliness. Clara has a personal interest in all natural or homeopathic medicine that plays an important role in managing the herd health and fresh cow concerns that she is responsible for.

LIVESTRONG Sporting Park, emphasized the role of family farmers in vibrant, healthy communities and an economically stable nation. “Family farmers persevere,” said Nelson, president and founder of Farm Aid. “We have a lot to learn from their innovation and tenacity, and if we support an agricultural system that treats them fairly, they will lead the way to economic recovery.” This is the first Farm Aid concert to take place in Kansas, a state where agriculture is the foundation of the economy and culture. At a press event early in the day, Nelson was honored for his 26-year commitment to farm families with an induction into the National Agricultural Hall of Fame. Missouri farmer and advocate Roger Allison introduced him, and Oscar-winning farm broadcaster Ken Root presented the award. “We want to recognize Mr. Nelson for his long commitment to America’s family farmers and for the millions of dollars and enormous attention he has contributed to the devastating economic problems faced by this country’s family farmers and their communities,” said Cathi Hahner, Executive Director of the National Agricultural Center and Hall of Fame. Following the induction, Jim Hightower, national radio commentator, author, public speaker, humorist, and two-term Texas Agriculture Commissioner and populist agitator, moderated a discussion about the promise that family farmers offer our nation and the challenges that impede their progress. Participants included Nelson, Mellencamp, Young and Matthews, along with Farm Aid executive director Carolyn Mugar; Kansas cattle rancher and owner of Ranch Direct Foods, Mike Callicrate; farmer and founder of Good Na-

Farm Aid from B1 tured Family Farms, Diana Endicott; and farmer and founder of Cultivate Kansas City, Katherine Kelly. “In this climate of deficits, our nation’s
family farmers are our strongest asset. It’s their know-how and ingenuity that can fix our economy,” said executive director Carolyn Mugar. Long-time, grassroots
family farm supporters hosted a two-day meeting to impart their wisdom to a new generation of advocates who are working for a stable, vibrant family farm-based system of agriculture. Farmers heroes that included veteran advocate Shirley Sherrod, crisis counselor Betty Puckett, and law expert Neil Hamilton provided information on a variety of areas essential to successful family farming, from credit to discrimination.

Trucks What they’re saying: industry and environmental groups hail new truck fuel efficiency rules ARLINGTON, VA — The historic announcement on Aug. 9 by President Obama that the U.S. would be setting first-of-their-kind standards for medium- and heavy-duty truck fuel efficiency was met with praise by a myriad of industry and environmental groups, including: • “Everyone was sort of patting everyone else on the back.” ATA President Bill Graves to the Washington Post. • “While we haven’t had a chance yet to thoroughly review the final rule, we were pleased overall with the process, and the degree to which EPA and NHTSA involved and listened to the industry.” Denny Slagle, president and CEO North American Trucks (Volvo and Mack). • “Truck manufacturers and workers, state and federal regulators, and conservationists stand together behind this new rule. It shows what Americans can accomplish when we work
together.” Larry Schweiger, president and CEO of the National Wildlife Federation. • “This regulation and the process used to establish it are a model for how government and business should work together to meet energy, environment and economic goals.” Tim Solso, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Cummins Inc. • “With this rule, EPA and NHTSA have now set an example for what could be a worldwide GHG and fuel efficiency regulation for heavy duty trucks and engines.” Daniel C. Ustian, Navistar chairman, president and chief executive officer. • “We support the new federal regulations on greenhouse gas emissions and fuel efficiency as they affect the commercial vehicles industry. We have worked closely and productively with the EPA and NHTSA and look forward to continued collaboration on

ARLINGTON, VA — The American Trucking Associations’ advance seasonally adjusted (SA) For-Hire Truck Tonnage Index increased 2.8 percent in June after decreasing a revised 2.0 percent in May 2011. May’s drop was slightly less than the 2.3 percent ATA reported on June 27. The latest gain put the SA index at 115.8 (2000=100) in June, up
from the May level of 112.6 and the highest since January 2011. The not seasonally adjusted index, which represents the change in tonnage actually hauled by the fleets before any seasonal adjustment, equaled 122.3 in June, which was 5.3 percent above the previous month. Compared with June 2010, SA tonnage

jumped 6.8 percent, the largest year-over-year gain since January 2011. In May, the tonnage index was 3 percent above a year earlier. “Motor carriers told us that freight was strong in June and that played out in the data as well,” ATA Chief Economist Bob Costello said. Tonnage recovered all of the losses in April and May when the index contracted a total of 2.6 percent. “After growing 5.5 percent in the first half of the year from the same period last year, the strength of truck tonnage in the second half will depend greatly on what manufacturing output does,” Costello noted. “If manufacturing continues to grow stronger than GDP, I fully expect truck freight to do the same.” Note on the impact of trucking company failures on the index: Each month, ATA asks its membership the amount of tonnage each carrier hauled, including all types of freight. The indexes are calculated based on those respons-
es. The sample includes an array of trucking companies, ranging from small fleets to multi-billion dollar carriers. When a company in the sample fails, we include its final month of operation and zero it out for the following month, with the assumption that the remaining carriers pick up that freight. As a result, it is close to a net wash and does not end up in a false increase. Nevertheless, some carriers are picking up freight from failures and it may have boosted the index. Due to our correction mentioned above however, it should be limited. Trucking serves as a barometer of the U.S. economy, representing 67.2 percent of tonnage carried by all modes of domestic freight transportation, including manufactured and retail goods. Trucks hauled 9 billion tons of freight in 2010. Motor carriers collected $563.4 billion, or
81.2 percent of total revenue earned by all transport modes. ATA calculates the tonnage index based on surveys from its membership and has been doing so since the 1970s. This is a preliminary figure and subject to change in the final report issued around the 10th day of the month. The report includes month-to-month and year-over-year results, relevant economic comparisons, and key finan-
cial indicators. American Trucking Associations is the largest national trade association for the trucking industry. Through a federation of 50 affiliated state trucking associations and industry-related conferences and councils, ATA is the voice of the industry America depends on most to move our nation’s freight.

He has done research in strategy and organizational behavior related to entrepreneurship, and he has participated in several start-up businesses — one involving innovative, “green” building products. His industry expertise is in forest and building products. “Not only have I been trained to teach and research entrepreneurship, but I have lived it,” he said. “To me, this is about experiential learning. For those with the right skills, outlook and intellectual makeup, being an entrepreneur is a tremendous way to realize one’s potential and to make a living.” Gagnon earned his doctorate in Forest Resources, with a minor in Business Administration, and his master’s degree from Penn State. In the year ahead, the college plans to invite successful entrepreneurs to visit and talk to classes, and this fall it will hold a student business plan competition, utilizing the Harbaugh Endowment to award a $5,000 cash prize to the winning team.

Encouraging students to be entrepreneurs UNIVERSITY PARK, PA — Encouraging entrepreneurship is one of the strategic priorities for Penn State’s College of Agricultural Sciences, and it has taken a significant step to expedite the effort by selecting a point person. Mark Gagnon, visiting assistant professor of sustainable entrepreneurship, recently was named entrepreneurship coordinator by dean Bruce McPheron. “Employers of our students tell us that they value an entrepreneurial spirit — not only do some entrepreneurs begin their own business ventures, but others change existing businesses from within through their creative approach to opportunities,” McPheron said. “Mark Gagnon will help us achieve our goal of providing our students with a baseline of an entrepreneurial approach to their careers.” Gagnon will teach several entrepreneurship classes along with course modules on entrepreneurial thinking and facilitate student engagement in entrepreneurship-related activities in the College of Agricultural Sciences. His duties include coordinating the Harbaugh Entrepreneurship Forums, mentoring stu-

Ulster County 4-H Youth Program announce 2011 Master Showmanship recipient Kristin Nerone, 17 years old of High Falls, NY, was awarded the 2011 4-H Master Showmanship title for this year’s Ulster County Fair on Sunday, Aug. 7. Nerone qualified for the contest by excelling in Senior Showmanship in the areas of Poultry and Rabbits which enabled her to advance to the final competition which included showmanship for Dairy Cattle, Beef Cattle, Goats, Sheep, Poultry, Dogs, and Rabbits. Kristin has been a member of Ulster County 4-H since the age of 10 showing chickens and rabbits. She is the daughter of Jenifer and
James Nerone of High Falls. Nerone said, “It was an honor to get this award and a great opportunity to show all the different species.” “Kristin’s diverse experience showing livestock throughout her number of years in 4-H over qualifies her to succeed at the Master Showmanship Competition,” said 4-H Program Educator, Jaime Churchill. Nerone attends Rondout Valley High School and is currently enrolled in the Veterinary Technology program at SUNY Ulster. She is a member of the National Honor Society. Upon graduation she plans to pursue an

New York Agri-Women meet-ups planned throughout the state A year after its creation, New York Agri-Women currently has planned several meet-ups throughout state including Cayuga, Onondaga, Tompkins, Chatauqua, Orange, and Suffolk counties. “I’m very excited to see New York Agri-Women picking up momentum at the county level,” says Cari Rincker, President and founding member of New York Agri-Women. “I have been impressed with the female leadership and talent involved in the New York food and agriculture industry and am looking forward to the future of the organization in years to come.” Julie Patterson, the Cayuga County Leader and Chair of the New York AgriWomen Membership Committee, understands that in this digital age there are a myriad ways for women to communicate with one another, including social media. However, she notes that “there is nothing more rewarding than communicating in person to make real connections with other woman involved in the agriculture community.” She adds, “being able to meet with other ladies who share similar passions is the best part.” Erica Leubner, the Onondaga County Leader, shares similar views. Leubner recognized that “every profession
has a network that can be tapped in times of need or for camaraderie. Agriculture can be isolating at times; therefore, it is especially important for women to meet others that share a common lifestyle and goals.” Karen Barie Keough, the County Leader for Chatauqua County, will be addressing the Lake Erie Women’s Ag Group on Aug, 25. She will be discussing the goals for New York AgriWomen within Western New York. Later on in the month, Christine Rolando, the Catskills and Hudson Valley District Leader, is coordinating a meet-up on Aug. 29 at Soons Orchard, 23 Soons Circle, New Hampton, NY 10958. The cost for the event will be $20 perperson. The event will be held in conjunction with the local Rotary Club. Rolando notes that “the event will serve as an opportunity for New York Agri-Women to network with Rotary members while learning about the Soons family-owned and operated apple orchard.” Later on this fall, the Suffolk County Chapter will meet at 10:30 a.m. on Nov. 1 at Schmitt Farm located at 2366 Roanoke avenue in Riverhead, NY. New York Agri-Women will tour their farm before traveling to Stonewall’s Restau-

rant for lunch. “Schmitt Farm is a fourth-generation family farm that has been farming on Long Island for over 150 years,” said Vicki Guber, the Suffolk County and Long Island/New York City District Leader. “Owners Debbie and Phil Schmitt operate a 165-acre wholesale vegetable farm producing spinach,cabbage, beets and herbs, and a retail farm stand, Schmitt’s Farm Stand on Sound. Debbie also runs Deb’s Field Grown Flowers, which sup-
plies cut flowers and bouquets to wholesale and farm stand customers.” The cost to attend the event is $35 and participants are encouraged to RSVP before Oct. 21.

Home,, Family,, Friendss & You Upgrading the brown-bag lunch by Dianne Lamb, Extension Nutrition and Food Specialist, University of Vermont Bringing lunch from home is a bargain in a bag — easy on your waistline and on your wallet. You also get to “think outside the box” and be creative with your food choices instead of settling for the same ho-hum options at the office cafeteria. When you make your own lunch, whether it’s a sandwich, wrap or salad, you can control portion size as well as calorie and fat content. Making smart choices increases nutritional benefits that may even lower the risk of cancer and other chronic diseases. A good place to start when planning your brown bag lunch is the traditional, central item: the sandwich. Since about 60 percent of a sandwich is bread, choose one made with whole-grain flour. But don’t be fooled. Just because the bread is dark bread that doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s whole grain. Caramel color or molasses often is added to give bread a deep color. Whole grains, which are denser than refined versions, are more fiber-rich and filling than refined grains. They are rich in many health-protective substances including antioxidants, phytochemicals, vitamin E, folic acid, zinc, selenium and magnesium. When buying a loaf of bread, check the ingredient label. The first item listed should be either “100 percent whole grain” or “whole” followed by the type of grain used. For sandwich fillings consider alternatives to meat, such as vegetables or cheese. Since many cheeses contain more fat per ounce than most meats, select a reduced-fat cheese. If making sandwich fillings with soft cheese, include vegetables or fruits or both to add extra flavor, texture and nutrition. Or instead of a traditional peanut butter sandwich, why not put peanut
butter in celery sticks with a few wholewheat crackers on the side. Include a handful of raisins in a sealable bag in your lunch, and you have the adult version of “ants on a log,” for many a childhood favorite. Wraps made from soft tortillas are a popular restaurant item and easily can be made at home to take for lunch. Consider a spinach or tomato-herb tortilla as the base instead of a plain tortilla. When making wraps it’s better to err on the side of “less” instead of “more.” Too much filling, particularly ingredients like salsa, chopped tomatoes or runny spreads and dressings will ooze out, making it difficult to eat. If you are using any “juicy” items for the wrap, pack the components separately and assemble just before eating. Layer thinly sliced meats or low-fat cheese with your choice of vegetables, fruit or beans. Hummus (chickpea spread) and pesto both make flavorful “glue” for a wrap. Leftover tossed salad also makes a great filling. Or use pita bread or whole-grain breads or crackers instead of a tortilla. Pasta salad made with differentshaped pasta or whole wheat pasta and colorful vegetables such as broccoli, carrots or red peppers and a light dressing is another option for lunch. You can add beans, cheese or meat to the salad or serve these on the side for protein. Round out the meal with a piece of fruit and a glass of low-fat milk. Soup makes a great packed lunch as do leftovers including chili, macaroni and cheese, casseroles or spaghetti. Heat these items to 165°F before packing into an insulated thermos to keep them warm (140°F) until lunch. For best results, fill the insulated container with boiling water and let it stand for a few minutes. Empty out the hot water and refill the container with the piping
hot food (165°F). Keep the container closed until it’s time to eat. Think safety when packing lunches. The first rule is “Wash your hands.” Make sure counters, cutting boards and utensils are clean. Wash after use in hot soapy water and rinse well. Keep family pets off counters and other food preparation areas. Don’t cross-contaminate. Remember, harmful bacteria can spread easily from one surface to another. When preparing food such as tomatoes or lettuce that will not be cooked on a counter or cutting board, be sure these surfaces have been thoroughly washed first. Keep perishable foods in bag lunches out of the danger zone (40 to 140°F) as bacteria can multiply rapidly at these temperatures. Perishable foods including milk, meats, fish and eggs need to be kept cold at 40°F or below. Insulated, soft-sided lunch bags are ideal or use metal, plastic or paper containers and freeze bottles of water, fruit juice or ice packs to keep foods cold. If possible, store your lunch in the refrigerator at work until ready to eat. Looking for something different and nutritious for tomorrow’s brown-bag lunch? Try this recipe.

Back to school Getting your kids ready for school has changed tremendously since sharpening some pencils and packing an apple for the teacher. But even if technology and the times have changed, it never hurts to have some tips to make sure your little scholar is ready to hit the books. Here are some suggestions from the Federal Citizen Information Center: • Sending your child to school means more than ABCs and 123s. It’s easy to forget about updating their immunization record, or talking with them about school bus safety. Get your kids and yourself ready with these back-to-school resources from USA.gov for easy to overlook guidelines. • Introduce them to Kids.gov. As the official kids’ site of the U.S. government, you can trust that all its content is safe and secure. Besides fun and educational games for your kids, there’s a section for parents and educators for you to use while being your child’s teacher at home. • You’re eager to help your child
succeed, but not every body is a trained educator. Use homework tips from the Department of Education to assist your child with math, reading, and more. Visit www2.ed.gov/parents/academic/involve/homework/in dex.html • Every parent hopes that their child’s biggest issue at school is griping about homework. Sadly, that is not always the case. Bullying by peers has become a national issue — see what our leaders have to say about when times get tough and facing adversity with the White House’s video as part of the “It Gets Better” campaign. Visit www.whitehouse.gov/itgetsbetter Going back to school is an exciting and busy time. With so much going on, it’s easy to forget some of the odds and ends that come with boarding the school bus again. Using these back-to-school resources from USA.gov in the beginning and throughout the school year will help you and your child both make the grade.

by Ann Perry U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) scientists have produced the first detailed data on how large-scale dairy facilities contribute to the emission of greenhouse gases. This research was conducted by Agricultural Research Service (ARS) scientists at the ARS Northwest Irrigation and Soils Research Laborato-
ry in Kimberly, Idaho. ARS is USDA’s principal intramural scientific research agency, and these studies support the USDA priority of responding to climate change. ARS soil scientist April Leytem led the year-long project, which involved monitoring the emissions of ammonia, carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide from a commercial
dairy with 10,000 milk cows in southern Idaho. The facility had 20 openlot pens, two milking parlors, a hospital barn, a maternity barn, a manure solid separator, a 25-acre wastewater storage pond and a 25-acre compost yard. Concentration data was collected continuously for two to three days each month, along with air
temperature, barometric pressure, wind direction and wind speed. After this data was collected, Leytem’s team calculated the average daily emissions for each source area for each month. The results indicated that, on average, the facility generated 3,575 pounds of ammonia, 33,092 pounds of methane and 409 pounds In the first detailed study on emissions from largescale dairies, ARS researchers found that a commercial dairy with 10,000 milk cows generated an average of 3,575 pounds of ammonia, 33,092 pounds of methane, and 409 pounds of nitrous oxide every day. Photo by Peggy Greb of nitrous oxide every day. The open lot areas generated 78 percent of the facility’s ammonia, 57 percent of its nitrous oxide and 74 percent of the facility’s methane emissions during the spring. In general, the emission of ammonia and nitrous oxide from the open lots were lower during the late evening and early morning, and then increased throughout the day to peak late in the day. These daily fluctuations paralleled patterns in wind speed, air temperature and livestock activity, all of which generally increased during the day. Emissions of ammonia and methane from the wastewater pond and the compost were also lower in the late evening and early morning and increased during the day. Results from the study were published in the Journal of Environmental Quality. Read more about this work in the July 2011 issue of Agricultural Research magazine.

A View from Hickory Heights by Ann Swanson Pets play important roles As a youngster I did not experience any pets except goldfish. While goldfish are nice to watch in the aquarium, as an old song says “you cannot take a goldfish for walks!” I grew up living with my grandparents. They did
not approve of pets so I had none. Next, I became an apartment dweller. I was not allowed to have pets then, either. By that time I was a college graduate with a full time job. I used to tell my students that just because you were grown up you did not al-
ways get your way either. This was a prime example. I really wanted a pet but still could not have one. Finally, I married and moved to the country. Would I finally get the pet that I so longed for? Guess again, this time my husband played a role. While he approved of pets, he wanted the dog that he approved of. When I was out and about I looked at some darling cocker spaniel puppies. There was one little girl pup that won my heart. She was solid

black with shiny hair that was not too long. I begged and begged to no avail. The matter was
dead in the water. We would not get a cocker spaniel. His father knew of someone who had white
German Shepard puppies. Now, my husband ap-
Hickory C3
proved of that. His father brought a dog home for us. There was sort of payback for this though. When I was in the hospital having our son and was under sedatives, I asked if I had a black cocker spaniel. I took a lot of teasing about that. I did write about it in his baby book so it is well documented. I guess maybe he was marked to take care of animals from the beginning. As the lady of the house I got to “train” the dog. I fed her and I took her out. When she was ready to play, my husband assumed that role. Soon Duchess was a farm dog that went to the barn each morning, then, went to get the cows. She was very smart. I have to tell you, though, that a white dog does not make a good farm dog. She always had a streak of something along her back. Duchess was also allergic to something on the farm. I could relate to that. I sneezed and she itched. We tried all types of medicine, but we were unable
to clear up her pretty white coat. She had to go to a home that did not have the allergens that plagued her. It was sad day when we parted company with her, but we knew it was the only thing that was fair to her. I trained two more German Shepard puppies. It was the same with them. As soon as they learned to obey commands, they became farm dogs. I only saw “my dog” when she came home from the barn so I did not become very close to her. By then we lived a mile up the road so distance was an issue. By the year 2001 our son was a veterinarian practicing locally. He and his wife routinely did things for the humane society. One day when my husband and I stopped at the hospital I found a cute little pup back in the kennel area. She had a bandage on her head, but other than that she was perfect. We had to put our last dog down a few months earlier since her hip dysplasia was very bad by then. While I went shopping my husband
remained at the hospital drinking coffee and visiting between appointments and surgeries. He, too, spotted the cute little dog. As luck would have it, the dog was ready for adoption. We put in our request and within a few days we were the proud owners of a new small dog. By that time my husband was in treatment for cancer so he was at home most of the time. He was delighted to have a companion to sit on the couch with him. Of course, I had another dog to train. For some reason my husband deferred to me on the name this time. I decided that Hannah of Hickory Heights had a ring to it. We called her Hannah for short. Hannah was a cocker spaniel/beagle mix. She was high energy and needed frequent trips outdoors. On the days that my husband did not feel well that fell to me. In the end I assumed full responsibility for her because one day she pulled him over and he had a hard time getting up again.
I did not think of it at the time, but finally I realized that I had my black cocker spaniel. While Hannah continued to provide company and support for my husband, she was really my dog. She looked to me for all of her needs. I would say that Hannah was my first pet. While I helped with all of the others, they were not house dogs. They were barn animals. My children had a number of cats, but they were their pets. In the end I had all kinds of pets, more than I ever hoped to have. We had a woodchuck, several rabbits, a couple raccoons, a red squirrel, and a deer. We really enjoyed our pets. Should we have had all of those animals, probably not? I have to say though that they provided wonderful hands-on experience for our future veterinarian. Ann Swanson writes from her home in Russell, PA. Contact at hickoryheights1@verizon.net

Dairy producers reject status quo, support policy offering budget savings commentary from Jerry Kozak, President and CEO of NMPF ARLINGTON, VA — Dairy producers realize that the status quo protections offered by current federal policies have failed them during the past decade — especially in 2009 — yet some may understandably be apprehensive about advocating comprehensive reform of those policies. The Dairy Product Price Support Program (DPPSP) and the Milk Income Loss Contract (MILC) program combined constitute nearly 80 percent of the dairy budget baseline over the next 10 years, according to the Congressional Budget Office. However, the DPPSP has become an ineffective safety net for farmers, and has created an unintended outcome whereby the U.S. has become burdened with balancing the world’s milk supply. The MILC program also has been ineffective in providing a safety net for farmers, and treats farms and entire regions of the country unequally. More specifically, it does not address the rise in volatile feed costs, and has not prevented the exodus of farms during its
decade of existence. In 2001, there were 97,460 U.S. dairy farms, but by 2010, that figure was 62,500 — a loss of 36 percent of the nation’s dairy farmers, almost all of which were small to medium-size operations of 500 cows or less. This clearly demonstrates the inadequacy of the current program and the need for better dairy policy. The policy proposals contained in the National Milk Producers Federation’s Foundation for the Future (FFTF) eliminate the DPPSP and MILC programs, and create a more efficient and effective safety net in the form of a Dairy Producer Margin Protection Program, the costs of which are shared by dairy farmers and the federal government. FFTF also establishes a Dairy Market Stabilization Program to prompt producers to respond more quickly to economic signals from the marketplace and at no cost to the government. Existing farm programs, including the dairy title within the Farm Bill, are expected to undergo further cuts
as part of the new federal budget deal passed by the House and Senate. FFTF was created to achieve better economic protection for farmers, while also yielding a budget savings — compared to current baseline spending levels — precisely because farm safety nets are going to shrink in the future. The
Congressional Budget Office says FFTF will save $166 million over the next five years, at a time when Congress has now pledged to cut more than a trillion dollars from federal spending. Dairy producers have acknowledged that shrinking federal resources are the reality. Keeping the status quo is
not an option, either economically, as the best safety net to producers, or fiscally, due to budget demands. Producers have been calling for something better for the past two years. We can’t stay where we are and change is needed, which
is why Foundation for the Future was developed. To learn more about Foundation for the Future, including the Dairy Producer Margin Protection Program and the Dairy Market Stabilization Program, visit www.futurefordairy.com.

Camembert-style cheeses and aged Cheddar, the fifth annual Washington County Cheese Tour will delight palates and enthrall cheese lovers of every age. It’s also a terrific way for current and aspiring dairy farmers and value-added producers to get a look at five diverse cheese making operations. On Saturday and Sun-
day, Sept. 10 and 11, five creative farmstead cheese makers in Washington County will open their farms to the public. The only prerequisites are an appetite and an interest in learning about and tasting award-winning local cheeses. This self-guided tour brings visitors through lush, rolling hills and
bucolic countryside using a special cheese lover’s passport and map. At the five goat, sheep and cow dairy farms along the route, guests will sample specially selected cheeses, and enjoy farm and cheese room tours, demonstrations, and other activities. This year the Cheese
Tour has added a cycling option! Mid-September is the perfect time to bike on country roads and enjoy the working landscape of well-preserved farming communities, already famed among cyclists for the Tour of the Battenkill. Cyclists will have three expertly mapped routes to choose from, and YouTube On Saturday and Sunday, Sept. 10 and 11, five creative farmstead cheese makers in Washington County will open their farms to the public. You are invited to bring your appetite and interest in learning about and tasting award-winning local cheeses. Photo courtesy of Tracy Frisch, 2011 Cheese Tour coordinator

The dairy industry has made significant progress since 2007 in the implementation and improvement of dairycalf respiratory-management practices, according to a new survey released by Merck Animal Health. The study reveals advances in diagnostic testing, colostrum management and calf nutrition. The survey represents the management of more than 775,000 dairy calves and heifers across 23 states. The last survey to include dairy-calf care and management was conducted
in 2007 by the National Animal Health Monitoring System (NAHMS). Of the 174 dairy producers surveyed by Merck Animal Health, 83 raise fewer than 1,000 calves, 70 raise 1,000-9,999 calves and 21 raise more than 10,000 calves each year. “Respiratory disease is costly in both the short- and long-term of the life of dairy animals,” said Tom Shelton, D.V.M., senior technical services manager for Merck Animal Health. “By measuring current respiratory health practices, we can identify ways to im-
prove the health of dairy calves, which plays a big role in overall herd productivity and profitability.” Diagnostic testing One of the most notable findings of the survey is the increased use of diagnostic testing on calves both before and after weaning. Twenty-two percent of operations surveyed use tissue sample testing on at least one calf that died of respiratory disease each year, and 72 percent have at least one necropsy performed. The 2007 NAHMS study, by comparison, reports that eight percent of herds have had necropsies performed on calves before weaning and 7.1 percent on calves after weaning, for all causes of death, including respiratory disease. “Producers are recognizing the value of diagnostic testing of calves,” said Donald Sockett, D.V.M., Ph.D., epi-
demiologist/microbiologist at the Wisconsin Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory. “This is crucial, because the two percent death loss due to respiratory disease currently reported by producers is probably 1.5-2 times larger in reality.” Colostrum management and calf nutrition Producers now do a much better job monitoring their calves for failure of passive transfer (FPT) of immunoglobulins than they did four years ago. According to the survey, the number of calf raisers who routinely check for FPT grew to 45 percent from just two percent in 2007. The survey also shows that producers have responded to the message that calves need to be fed at a higher plane of nutrition and more frequently. Nutri-

Dairy Industry makes strides in respiratory management
Section C - Page 16 August 22, 2011 • Let Them Know You Read COUNTRY FOLKS •
Strides from C15 tion programs where calves are fed at least 1.5 pounds of milk replacer or five quarts of nonsaleable milk or a combination of non-saleable milk and milk replacer are used in two-thirds of small- and medium-sized herds and one-fourth in large herds. The percentage of producers who pasteurize non-saleable milk fed to calves has grown from 8.4 percent to 72 percent since 2007. Additionally, eight percent of calves are being fed at least three times per day year round, and 14 percent are fed three times per day in the winter. “These numbers are a significant improvement from the 2007 study,” said Dr. Sockett. “Producers have come a long way in colostrum management and calf nutrition.” The wide variation in calf age at weaning has not changed since the 2007 NAHMS survey. Age at weaning varies across all herd sizes, ranging from 30 to 120 days. The most common criterion currently used by survey respondents to determine weaning age is calf starter intake. The other major factor is calf size. Vaccination and treatment protocols The study calls attention to the need for standardization of vaccination and treatment
protocols. Although 80 percent of producers surveyed have been trained by their veterinarians to identify and treat respiratory disease, less than half have veterinary assistance in designing treatment protocols. Additionally, while 96 percent of producers surveyed vaccinate their calves for respiratory disease, there is no consistency in vaccination protocols. Almost half of the producers surveyed report respiratory disease in their calves before 30 days of age. Sixty-six percent cull calves prematurely because of respiratory disease. The survey also shows that 9.9 percent of preweaned and weaned calves are treated for respiratory disease. In the NAHMS survey, 12.4 percent of preweaned and 5.9 percent of weaned calves were treated for respiratory disease. Next steps “This study points out several opportunities to continue to improve the respiratory health of our dairy calves. Getting them off to a healthy start is critical to their long-term health and productivity. Taking even small steps to improve respiratory health can make a big difference during the life of an animal,” said Dr. Shelton.

Dr. Shelton shares the following tips to improve respiratory health management: • Feed one gallon of colostrum within two hours of birth and another gallon 12-15 hours later. Monitor colostrum quality and FPT using a hand-held refractometer. • Have a back-up plan for shortages of highquality colostrum. • Maintain average daily gain of 2.0-2.2 pounds for the first six months. • Provide clean, warm drinking water and a small amount of calf
starter beginning at three to five days of age. Do not allow the calf starter to become stale or contaminated with debris. • Wean calves when they eat two pounds of starter for three consecutive days and have reached growth targets for the liquid feeding stage of the calf’s life. • House calves with clean, dry bedding and provide adequate shelter with good air quality and protection from heat and cold stress. • Practice good husbandry skills.

FARM provides thorough animal care education for producers, on-farm evaluations, and objective third-party verification, giving customers and consumers the assurances they deserve. “Dairy farmers are passionate about the care they provide to their animals and have an excellent track record of responsible management practices,” said Jamie Jonker, Vice President of Scientific and Regulatory Affairs at NMPF. “This program quantifies that passion and allows them to speak with one voice as they market nationally and internationally. The pace of participation has surpassed our expectations.” Developed in partnership with producers, veterinarians, and animal care experts, FARM is a comprehensive program that incorporates the latest innovations in animal care from birth to marketing.

Participating producers are provided comprehensive training materials and undergo an onfarm evaluation conducted by a trained veterinarian, extension educator, co-op field staff member, or other FARM-trained professional. Evaluators then provide a status report and, if necessary, recommendations for improvement. To protect the integrity and credibility of the program, a certain number of participating dairy farms will be randomly selected for objective third-party verification. Validus, an Iowa-based certified auditing company with more than 10 years of experience verifying on-farm animal care, has been selected to conduct all third-party evaluations and will begin that process this summer. In addition to Land O’Lakes, participating cooperatives and proprietary producers include Agri-Mark, Inc., Hilmar Cheese Company, Foremost Farms USA, and Maryland and Virginia Milk Producers (MDVA) Cooperative. “In today’s society we have to prove that animal care is important to all dairy farmers in a manner that our neighbors and customers can understand and respect. The best solution is FARM,” said Kevin Satterwhite, a dairy farmer and MDVA member from Newberry, SC, who is an active participant in the FARM program.

McDonald’s sharin’ the love with New York’s apple industry FISHERS, NY — We’re lovin’ it. New York apple growers on Aug. 9 said that McDonald’s new plan to offer apples in every Happy Meal could lead to big gains for sales of New York-grown apples. “If we can get them to serve as many apples as they do hamburgers, we’ll be all set,” said Jim Allen, president of the New York Apple Association. Last month, McDonald’s announced plans to change its traditional Happy Meal through a new initiative called “Commitments to Offer Improved Nutrition Choices.” Beginning in September, all Happy Meals will now include apple slices. This means that when a mom or dad orders a Happy Meal for his or her child, they will automatically get a small pack (about 1/4 cup) of apple slices with the meal. If the parent only wants fries, or only wants apple slices, they have to specify that option. Until now, apple slices were only optional selections in Happy Meals.
Some industry estimates claim McDonald’s sold about 220 million of the meals in the United States last year. Of those, around 24 million were likely sold with apple slices, based on the company’s statement that only 10 percent of Happy Meal sales saw customers requesting apples when it was optional. The company has been sourcing apples from New York orchards since 2004, when it first introduced apple slices to its menu. Traditional New Yorkgrown apple varieties like Empire and Gala have been ideal for slicing, due to their high acidity, flavor and resistance to browning. Allen said growers will be bracing for a rush of demand from McDonald’s this fall. “Even without the new business from McDonald’s, consumer demand for our apples has been at record highs, so this will likely motivate growers to add even more trees and expand,” Allen said. “This is big news for

the industry and the rural economy,” he said. Allen said McDonald’s move will also help secure new apple customers for the future. “McDonald’s will give exposure to our fruit for a new generation of fans,” Allen said. “McDonald’s reaches consumers that we never could on our own. Some kids are going to taste our apples for the very first time. We hope to get them excited and have
them become lifelong customers,” Allen said. McDonald’s will begin rolling out the new Happy Meal next month, with the goal of having them available in all 14,000 restaurants by early next year. New York is the second biggest apple growing state in the U.S., with an estimated 30 million bushels expected to be harvested this fall off of 700 orchards.

Breakthrough technology increases baling efficiency by up to 38 percent AGCO, Your Agriculture Company, a worldwide manufacturer and distributor of agricultural equipment, is again revolutionizing the hay industry and further bolstering its position as the market leader in large square baler equipment. AGCO Parts announces the development of an innovative solution for North American hay producers called Giant Spools, a new series of AGCO Advanced Baler Twines. The Giant Spools help improve hay producers’ baling efficiency and productivity. It increases the amount of running time by as much as 38 percent, compared with standard spool sizes, and reduces the amount
of time spent loading baler twine. While Giant Spools are being tested in the U.S. markets, they have been highly successful in the United Kingdom, where they are already in use. The technology has been well received by dealers and hay producers. “I like the Giant Spools because we are able to fill up [the baler] in the morning and don’t have to stop and refill for the rest of the day,” said Dean Bartram, a hay producer from Ely, Cambridgeshire, United Kingdom. “We don’t lose time, time that could best be spent on baling.” “Our new AGCO Advanced Giant Spools are made from the same
twine quality that hay producers have come to trust from AGCO Parts,” said Carl Gunnarson, Product Marketing Manager for AGCO Parts, North America. The Giant Spools feature Ultra Grip™ technology, a combination of AGCO Parts’ strongest twine and a polypropylene mixture. The technology reduces slippage and forms a firm, powerful knot with 80 percent more grip at the knot than regular twine, enabling hay producers to
create bales that are 1520 percent more dense than typical bales. In addition, the Giant Spools are protected from light degradation with the same proven UV stabilization as other baler twines from AGCO Parts. “We like to pack as much hay in each bale as possible. We are able to pack the hay in very tight [with the Giant Spools],” said Bartram, who has used the Giant Spools for two years on his Massey Ferguson 2190. “We have tried us-
ing other manufacturers but their strings break.” Gunnarson noted the AGCO Advanced Giant Spools of baler twine are designed to fit only the new generation of Massey Ferguson® and Challenger® large square balers, providing a competitive advantage over other large square baler systems. The new spools will be available in three sizes: • 6000/350 – 6,000 feet long with 350-pound tensile strength • 5500/400 – 5,500
feet long with 400-pound tensile strength • 5000/450 – 5,000 feet long with 450-pound tensile strength “The new spools will be available for next year’s harvest. North American hay producers should contact their AGCO dealer for pre-booking information later this year,” Gunnarson said. “The Giant Spools are a highquality, high-value solution that AGCO Parts wants to get into the hands of our dealers and their custo1mers.”

State acres for wildlife enhancement (SAFE) sign-up continues SYRACUSE, NY — James Barber, Executive Director for USDA’s Farm Service Agency in New York State, announced that signup continues for SAFE, a continuous CRP conservation practice. The goal of this project is to use the established Conservation Reserve Program to provide incentives to landowners to convert cropland into grassland habitat for the long-term benefit of grassland bird populations. In February of 2008, USDA unveiled 30 SAFE projects that would benefit threatened, endangered and other high-priority species in 16 states covering up to 160,100 acres. New York’s SAFE was proposed and developed by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) and the New York Audubon Society. New York’s project will benefit grassland birds such as the grasshopper spar-
row, Vesper’s sparrow, Henslow’s sparrow, eastern meadowlark, horned lark, northern harrier, savannah sparrow, sedge wren, upland sandpiper, bobolink, short-eared owl and barn owl. This SAFE will provide additional significant benefits along with protection and management of grassland habitat and will also maintain open space and rural character. “These habitat restoration projects assist farmers to voluntarily conserve habitat to help a wide range of wildlife species across our great nation — many of which have the greatest need,” said Humphreys. “Additionally, SAFE focuses on marginal, ecologically sensitive acreage, which means prime cropland can remain in production at a time when commodity prices are high. Thus, everyone benefits under SAFE.” Like other continuous CRP prac-
Goat milking for a good cause On Thursday, Aug. 11, the Wayne County Fair hosted the annual Celebrity Goat Milking competition. Local “celebrities” such as the Wayne County Fair Queen MacKenzie Wilson, and Princess Sarah Looney came out to the fairgrounds to milk goats and raise money for a charity of their choice. The winner of the novice division was Dick Reeves from Big Dog County 103.5. His charity is the Humane Society of Wayne County. In the expert division, Martha Rich of Marion was the champion. Martha donated the money to Branting Ski Patrol. The annual event continues to be a
popular draw for contestants and fairgoers.
tices, landowners will be enrolling acres of cropland in 10 to 15 year contracts. For land to be eligible for SAFE-CRP funding, it must be within one of the grassland focus areas and meet CRP eligibility criteria. There is a one time signing incentive payment, an annual rental and maintenance payment and could be eligible for a 50 percent cost share for establishing
a permanent cover. New York’s project covers 4,900 acres that spans across 35 counties. Producers can offer land for enrollment in SAFE and other CRP programs at their local FSA service center.
