Three days of grazing knowledge

by Troy Bishopp KINZERS, PA — To say Roman Stolzfoos of Springwood Organic Farm is curious about all the diverse facets of grazing management would be an understatement.

This inquisitive spark has been a driving force in bringing outside knowledge, away from the status quo, to the farming community of Southeastern Pennsylvania for years. With the family farm having over seven uniquely stacked enterprises from composting, pastured poultry

and a large grazing dairy, it’s always experimenting with different ways of doing things toward the farm goal of “producing good food from good farms that’s good for any community and will have a good effect on everyone downstream from us,” said Roman.

The thirst in learning about different and unique grazing paradigms for their operation has also extended to neighbors, agency professionals and out-of state farmers in the form of workshops held at the

farm. One such event held in May with 160 people attending, led by IanMitchell-Innes, a South African rancher, focused on teaching terms from holistic grazing planning like; ‘judging percent trample,’ ‘building the haystack,’ ‘taking the top third of the plant’, ‘capturing free solar energy,’ ‘making green food for earthworms and brown for fungi’ and ‘adopting a no one grazing recipe for all’. According to Roman, “I could not help but realize that we are standing on the edge of the greatest opportunity to improve the soil and the food supply, plus make money, that I have ever witnessed since I first heard about intensive grazing 32 years ago”.

It was this passion and quest to build a ‘knowledge pyramid’ that brought together forward-thinking grazing practitioners, Cody and Dawnell Holmes from Missouri and Abe Collins of Vermont for a three day intensive grazing workshop at the farm once again. The purpose of the three day seminar was to help folks really understand the laws of nature when it comes to growing the best grass for your livestock plus learning how to manage your farm instead of your farm managing you.

Cody’s charge was teaching holistic systems

Abe Collins talks with Dwight Stoltzfoos about soil quality as Roman looks on.

from setting family, financial and environmental goals to managing pastures and soil health for a multi-species operation and ‘closing the gate’ on buying outside genetics and feed and fertilizer inputs. He said, “We need to think more about why and what we’re doing instead of resting from what you’re doing and realize everything in nature works in wholes”.

He also led pasture walks looking at biological activity and plant diversity, animal grazing behavior and figuring out practical paddock sizing in addition to financial planning and enterprise analysis. Dawnell on the other hand taught simple cheese making, soap making, fat rendering, marketing and managing a small raw milk dairy from their 1,000 acre Missouri ranch.

Dairy and beef grazier,

Abe Collins detailed how to plan your grazing to achieve improved animal performance, forage production and soil function.

He shared practical tips on grazing tall with high density grazing, planting cocktail cover crops, fall and spring grass management strategies to increase production by 50 percent and Keyline landscape design.

He also led a pasture walk to measure plant diversity and water holding capacity of the soil as well as sharing insights on Keyline subsoil aeration to increase soil organic matter and all the on-farm research he has tried over the years. Abe commented, “I’d rather pay for a gallon of fuel to subsoil an acre of ground and build topsoil for the next generation than spent it to go to the movies.”

To complement the

workshops, there were three days of homemade food served ranging from pastured pork provided

by Cody and Dawnell to chicken and gelato from Roman’s family and all the fixins’ provided by local neighbors in the community.

Roman summed up his passion: “We want to develop extensive networks in different communities so we can work together after the school and help each other practice these things and perfect these practices on our farms and share the experiences. Gaining knowledge never gets old.”

Grazing dairy heifers increases profits

by Peter Callan, Extension Agent, Farm Business Management, Culpeper County The dramatic rise in grain prices over the past six months has dairymen wondering how they can get the most bang for their buck. Producers are working closely with their nutritionists to maximize the use of home grown forages in rations to reduce ration costs. Over the past 20 years increasing numbers of dairymen have started to intensively graze pastures to maximize pasture as a source of feed.

Pasture lands are an underutilized and under managed resource on many farms. Rotational grazing is a management intensive system that concentrates animals within a relatively small area (paddock) for a short period of time e.g. 12 hours - 4 days for dairy cattle. A pasture may be divided into multiple paddocks. The cattle are then moved to another paddock while the other paddocks are allowed to recover and grow.

Animals are moved according to a flexible schedule based on number and weight of animals, the amount of land available, quality of forages in the paddock and forage consumption. Continuous grazing is use of one pasture.

Stan Pace, Agronomic Crops Agent with the Mississippi State University

Extension Service, explained that “Cows are selective grazers. When put in a selective forage situation, they'll overgraze some spots and undergraze others. Over time, you will have poor quality grass and less total forage production.”

Forage utilization efficiency is the percentage of forage grazed on a pasture. Pace declared, “Using rotational grazing can increase efficiency up to 75 percent over conventional grazing's 30—35 percent percent efficiency. He said moving the cattle every three or four days yields a 50—60 percent forage utilization efficiency. To increase efficiency to about 75 percent, I'd move them every day.” To make the best use of rationally grazed pastures and optimize animal growth rates, supplementation may be needed.

Due to a lack of rainfall in the summer months, many pastures may not grow enough forage to meet the animals’ dry matter intake levels. Based on forage quality and quantity and desired rates of gain, many producers supplement the grazing heifers with silages, bypass protein, vitamins and minerals, etc. The goal is to achieve 1.75 lbs. rate of gain that is needed for dairy heifers to freshen at 24 months and weigh 1,250 lbs.

Soil fertility plays a major role in deter-

mining the quantities of forage produced on pasture.

A current soil test takes out the guesswork and prevents the producer from under or over-applying lime and fertilizer, either of which will decrease your efficiency and profitability. The type of grazing system implemented on a farm has major implications regarding pasture fertility.

Missouri researchers estimated that grazing animals recycle 75-85 percent of forage nutrients consumed. An even distribution of manure throughout a paddock is required for productive plant and animal growth. Intensity of grazing rotations affects the manure coverage in paddocks. In a rotational grazing system there is an even distribution of manure because the animals are forced to consume forage in the paddock before being moved to another paddock. The Missouri researchers calculated that under continuous grazing practices, 27 years would be needed to obtain one manure pile per every square yard within a pasture. Conversely, the pasture was divided into paddocks and a two day rotation was used; then two years would be needed to achieve an even distribution of manure within the paddock.

In times of surplus forage in a pasture, the hay can be baled and sold or stored for future use. Kentucky researchers have estimated that a ton of grass hay (fescue, orchard grass) removes 12 lbs. of phosphate and 50 lbs. of potash from the soil. If these nutrients are not replaced soil reserves will be depleted over time. Consequently, there will be a reduction in crop yields.

Soil testing determines the amount of fertilizer that needs to be applied to maintain hay yields.

Cooperative extension agents can assist producers in the design of grazing systems for their farms. Numerous grazers have stated that the greatest challenge in implementing a grazing program on their farm is taking the first step which is splitting a pasture in half using temporary fence. Once they see how easy it is to move the cattle from one paddock to another, they never look back. How many times on a dairy farm do the dairy cattle harvest their forage and distribute their manure for free? In an era of high grain, fuel and fertilizer prices, grazing heifers provides producers the opportunity to reduce their operating costs in a simple user friendly management system.

by Kara Lynn Dunn BELLEVILLE, NY — Invasive alfalfa snout beetle (ASB) research on Northern New York farms has produced a tandem of solutions for controlling the destructive insect known to exist in nine New York counties and in Canada.

The research, funded long-term by the Northern New York Agricultural Development Program (NNYADP), was conducted by a team of farmers, Cornell University scientists, and Cornell Cooperative Extension educators.

Growers at an August field day at Sheland Farms in Belleville, NY, learned the result of the most recent field trials at the dairy farm owned by the Shelmidine family. The Shelmidines have hosted field trials to evaluate both the use of ASB-resistant varieties of alfalfa and the use of nematodes as a biocontrol for ASB. Researchers suggest that the combined use of the nematodes and ASB-resistant alfalfa varieties offers the best opportunity for controlling the pest.

The variety trial plot at Sheland Farms has five alfalfa populations showing resistance to ASB plus four varieties without resistance as a comparison. The results of ASB-resistant variety trials at Sheland Farms and other Northern New York farms have shown enough successive improvement that Seedway has initiated seed increase of an ASB-resistant Cornell experimental line, said Seedway representative John Uveges at the field day organized by Cornell Cooperative Extension of Jefferson County.

Cornell University Entomologist Elson Shields and Cornell Plant Breeder Donald Viands have led the research teams that have developed the combination strategy. Shields told the growers, “The biocontrol of the nematodes is needed to drop the ASB pressure; the resistant varieties help maintain the beetle at low pressure.”

Cornell Plant Breeding Forage Project and Research Support Specialist Tony Test has collected the beetles by the

thousands on Northern New York farms each spring for use in greenhouse trials at the Cornell lab, where Shields and Testa developed a successful screening method used to identify alfalfa seedlings with roots free from ASBfeeding damage.

Research Support Specialist Jamie Crawford has grown more than 150,000 seedlings over the past 10 years, selected resistant plants, and completed the breeding work needed to develop the strongest alfalfa populations for field testing. Seed from selected seedlings was planted on Northern New York farms for field trials.

Viands and Cornell Plant Breeding & Genetics Senior Research Associate Dr. Julie L. Hansen have planted many ASB-resistant variety trials across Northern New York, but, Hansen said, “We have not had a site with the type of pressure we found here at Sheland Farms in 2008. Today, we are very heartened by how good these trials look.”

“We have seen consistent yield gains and less root feeding damage over several cycles of selection. We are excited about an increase of two-tenths of a ton over two harvests and think that this difference will continue to increase with more breeding work,” Hansen added.

Hansen discussed the characteristics of some of the five varieties under trial at Sheland Farms. She said, “The Seedway 9558 selection is one of the varieties showing the highest ASB resistance. This variety has shown the ability to recover from root injury and generate a new root system. This root trait alone will not make a plant resistant to alfalfa snout beetle, but is a good starting place for the ASB breeding program.”

Shields said alfalfa snout beetle’s major feeding period occurs throughout September and early October. The pests’ larvae that have been deep in the soil will rise to the surface as soil moisture increases.

“Look closely at this trial (at Sheland Farms on the Mixer Road) in early to

Farm Bureau assessing Irene damage Many farms completely underwater; damage to field crops could be extensive ALBANY — New York Farm Bureau assembled a team on Aug. 29 to assist in emergency situations on flooded and wind-blown farms and assess overall damage from Hurricane Irene to agriculture, which appears to be extensive in some areas.

“Today, we are coordinating through our vast member network to reach out to our farmers that are in immediate need of help,” said Dean Norton, President of New York Farm Bureau.

Stranded farms, stranded livestock, infrastructure damage and power issues appear to be the immediate concerns.

“In the coming days we will be collecting damage assessments and making sure that information is delivered to county emergency management offices in affected areas,” he said.

Crop damage appears to be severe in areas around the Schoharie Valley and Mohawk Valley. Other areas in the Hudson Valley are seeing considerable dam-

age as well. Long Island experienced crop damage as well.

Damage to roads and bridges could also create problems for dairy farms that need to haul milk on a daily basis.

State agriculture officials are working on those issues.

A conference call this morning between New York Farm Bureau, officials from the Department of Agriculture and Markets and other farm leaders determined that the needs for agriculture will likely be extensive.

Farmers are encouraged to carefully document all damage and report to the Farm Service Agency for possible emergency aid and for crop insurance claims.

Farm Bureau is currently working with the government to get damage assessments in order to receive disaster declarations necessary for crop insurance and Farm Service Agency loans.

New York Farm Bureau urges farmers with power to reach out to neighboring farms without power to make sure their emergency needs are communicated to the proper authorities.

If farmers have questions or concerns they are encouraged to contact their county emergency management office, or the NYFB state office at 518-436-8495.

Farmers continue to assess damage from Irene on Aug. 30 New York farmers continue to recover from the damaging flood and winds of Hurricane Irene, which has left some farms completely stranded and others with complete loss of crops, buildings and equipment.

“As the information pours in, this appears to be one of the worst weather disasters for farmers in many years,” said Dean Norton, President of New York Farm Bureau.

“We will continue to help coordinate damage assessments and make sure farmers are connected with county, state and federal agencies in positions to help,” Norton said.

In the Schoharie Valley and the Mohawk Valley, agricultural damage appears to be severe. Emergency management and state agriculture officials are working to get feed, fuel and milk trucks

to dairy farms isolated by washed out roads and bridges.

Crop losses in the Schoharie and Mohawk regions, the Black Dirt region in Orange County and sporadically throughout the Hudson Valley and Catskills seem to be highly based on anecdotal information.

Farmers are urged to carefully document crop losses and report those losses to USDA’s Farm Service Agency.

Damage to buildings and equipment should also be documented, if possible with use of digital cameras and video.

State officials are also working to get milk trucks to dairy farms. Farms have limited storage capacity for milk. Cows need to be milked daily. Some milk dumping has occurred in some locations.

Meanwhile, fruit crops appear to be largely spared from significant damage.

Isolated farms saw extensive damage, but losses were limited in most orchards.

Grape crops on Long Island were also let largely undamaged by Irene.

Crops affected consist mostly of corn for silage, onions and other vegetables.

Conservation Farm of the Year announced at the 2011 Conservation Farm Tour On Friday, Aug. 19, the Conservation Farm of the Year award was presented to Reeves Farms of Baldwinsvile, NY, during the luncheon at Smith’s Tre-G Farm in Pompey. Owners and operators of Reeves Farms, brothers, Brian, Mark, and Andy Reeves were recognized for their contributions to conservation and outstanding stewardship in Onondaga County.

This fresh market vegetable and berry farm has been in the family for four gen-

erations and actively participates in Integrated Pest Management (IPM) and initiatives like Buy local — Pride of New York.

The Onondaga County Soil & Water Conservation District hosted its annual conservation tour, marking the District’s 25th year of this outdoor excursion. On the tour, farmers, agricultural professionals, State and Federal agency representatives, and local elected officials interested in environmental stew-

Farmers experience heavy losses from tropical storm TRENTON, NJ — New Jersey farmers experienced crop damage on a widespread and, in some cases, severe basis after the weekend’s deluge of heavy rain from tropical storm Irene. While the feared wind damage to greenhouses and other farm structures never really materialized, the storm created unusually heavy, driving rain that affected all parts of the state. Nonetheless, consumers should expect continued availability of Jersey Fresh produce at farm markets and other outlets, despite the ill effects of this heavy weather, particularly if weather continues to improve.

Farm officials braced for the worst as the storm advanced, knowing that the weeks preceding the storm had already produced above-average rain that had saturated farm fields and raised stream levels. This storm caused many streams and small rivers to overflow their banks onto farm fields, as well as creating large amounts of water running through farms. Low-lying crops yet to be harvested, including late summer vegetables, fall pumpkins and newly planted fall vegetables, were hit hard.

Surprisingly, fall-harvested corn and

soybeans withstood the wind gusts better than expected.

On a positive note, some crops like peaches had been mostly harvested prior to the storm and sunny, dry weather in the days after the storm will assist recovery. Individual farm operations may have escaped the brunt of the water damage due to individual farm features (higher ground) or management practices (tomatoes grown with stakes).

“We regret the setback to farm businesses caused by this storm, especially after what had been such a promising summer season,” said Farm Bureau President Richard Nieuwenhuis. “But we have to take the punch from Mother Nature like everyone else, and we still have much to keep us going. We look forward to the support of local consumers as we work through the challenges presented by this storm event.”

ALBANY, NY — New York Farm Bureau is encouraging farmers affected by Hurricane Irene to carefully document their damage and report to the USDA’s Farm Service Agency (FSA).

“We’re telling our farmers to take photos, take notes and make sure they have a record even if they don’t know the full extent of the damage,” said Dean Norton, President of New York Farm Bureau.

The New York Farm Bureau Web site www.nyfb.org and the FSA Web site have a list of the federal agricultural relief programs that are available.

New York Farm Bureau is working with the New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets and Governor Cuomo’s office on attaining federal disaster declarations specifically for agriculture for the counties that need it.

Farm Bureau is also hoping for quick restoration of ruined roads and bridges in rural areas where farms have daily transport needs for feed, fuel and milk hauling.

Federal disaster declaration status is necessary to access the disaster assistance program from USDA’s Farm Service Agency (FSA), the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) or the Small Business Administration (SBA).

In general, FSA provides emergency loans to help producers recover from production and physical losses due to drought, flooding or other natural disasters.

Emergency loans may be made to farmers who: • own or operate land in a county declared a disaster area or a contiguous county; • are established family farm operators and have sufficient farming or ranching experience; have suffered at least a 30 percent loss in crop production or a physical loss to livestock, livestock products, real estate or chattel property; • have an acceptable credit history; • are unable to receive credit from commercial sources; • can provide collateral to secure the loan; and • have repayment ability.

Loans for crop, livestock and non-real estate losses are normally repaid within 1 to 7 years, depending on the loan purpose, repayment ability and collateral available as loan security.

In special circumstances, terms of up to 20 years may be authorized.

Loans for physical losses to real estate

Hurricane Irene causes variable damage to fruit and other farm crops CAMP HILL, PA — Pennsylvania Farm Bureau (PFB) says early reports indicate that high winds and heavy rain from Hurricane Irene have caused sporadic damage to farms and orchards in several areas of Pennsylvania. The most common problem cited by farmers is that field corn was leaning or flattened by strong winds, while apples and other fruits fell to the ground during the storm.

“The largest and most mature fruit fell off the trees. We estimate that about 20 percent of our fruit is on the ground, which is a significant loss,” said Brad Hollabaugh of Hollabaugh Brothers Fruit Farm and Market in Biglerville, Adams County.

Hollabaugh says losses could have been much worse, but his team of workers managed to harvest most of the farms Gala and Honeycrisp apple varieties in the three days prior to the storm. Unfortunately, high winds caused losses to a variety of Asian Pears, early Fuji apples (when the trees were pushed over) and more than 50 percent loses of golden delicious apples using a new trellis system.

“There is nothing more disheartening than looking at apples on the ground, after you’ve put your heart and soul into growing and nurturing the fruit throughout the season,” added Hollabaugh.

Meanwhile, Jim Schupp, the director of Penn State’s Fruit Research and Extension Center, confirmed that winds

from Hurricane Irene were especially troubling for growers of Gala and Honeycrisp apples, who had just begun harvesting the crop. Schupp says heavy rains also caused some apples to crack, while the wind uprooted trees. “Damages vary widely from farm-to-farm and even from one section of a farm to the other. Some farms were hardly touched, while others have fruit losses of 50 percent,” said Schupp.

Corn growers in parts of eastern and central Pennsylvania incurred damage from high winds that caused corn to lean, get tangled or flattened.

“Some of the crop is lost, while the storm damage will make it more difficult to harvest. We’ll need to use special heads on our equipment to harvest the corn. We probably won’t be able to assess total losses from the storm until after we harvest the crop,” said PFB President Carl T. Shaffer, who is a full-time farmer from Columbia County.

Farm Bureau notes that outreach to farmers, Pennsylvania’s Farm Service Agency, Pennsylvania’s Department of Agriculture, Lancaster County Extension and other sources all report intermittent crop damage due to strong winds, but no reports of loss of livestock or extensive flood damage.

“Crop damage and losses from Hurricane Irene are varied from county to county and even from farm to farm. It will probably take weeks before we learn the full extent of the damages,” concluded Shaffer.

Northeast Icelandic Horse Club show cancelled The Northeast Icelandic Horse Club has announced the cancellation of its horse breeding evalua-

tions at the Cobleskill Fairgrounds on Sept. 16 and 17 due to damages from Irene.

are normally repaid within 30 years. In certain circumstances, repayment may be made over a maximum of 40 years.

In addition to loans, disaster declaration will make farms eligible for livestock

indemnity and some other programs.

NYFB is exploring additional avenues that could provide assistance to affected farmers and will continue to update the Web site with any additional information.

To the Editor: On Aug 10, I attended the National Milk Producers Summer Grassroots Tour in Syracuse.

The first thing they did was show a 10 minute video explaining their Foundation for the Future dairy proposal. I keep asking the question, “whose future are they looking out for”? Certainly not ours.

In the video they state that if Foundation for the Future is made into law, it will give the processors the “opportunity” to pay us more for our milk. It didn’t say that they would, only that they could. Does anyone believe in the tooth fairy? It seems to me that they had plenty of “opportunity” to pay us more for the two years that they made record profits and we made record losses. I was told point blank that our milk goes to _____ and they are owned by _____, and they aren’t going to do a thing for you.

Also, component pricing would be done away with. We have a mixed dairy and that extra money for components is our survival money. What about all Jersey dairies who have really high components?

Then there’s the margin protection deal. Their take is that the government would save money by doing away with MILC and that the government would cover the cost for the first $4 of insurance. If you wanted enough coverage to cover more of your costs, then you could buy it. The government is broke, so how

much do you really think they are going to subsidize us for insurance?

For their supply management plan you would have your “base”. if you produce more than your base or more than the market needs, you will be “taxed” accordingly... Half of that “tax” money will be used to purchase dairy products to be donated to food pantries. The other half would go directly to the federal government to reduce the deficit. I think that we’ve all been “giving at the office”.

One thing that was not mentioned is the MPC issue. Their take is that MPC’s can now be made domestically and MPC’s are not an issue. What??? There is absolutely nothing in their proposal that says that if we get nailed down to a supply management program that the processors wouldn’t or couldn’t import more and more MPC’s to displace our domestic supply of milk, and kill the price we are paid for our milk.

Finally, some are trying to say that the make allowance would be done away with. In reality, it would not be done away with, it just would not be announced and would stay hidden.

Please, please call your Senators and Congressman and tell them to just say NO to the Foundation for the Future. There is nothing in it that is looking out for our future. Ask them to please say YES to the Federal Milk Marketing Act of 2011. It is our only salvation.

For those advocating for America’s hard pressed dairy farmers, the last several years have often seemed a futile struggle to convince Congress to put aside the misconceptions and outright disinformation swirling around this nation’s ongoing dairy crisis. U.S. dairymen have desperately needed someone in Washington to think out of the box...

The National Milk Producers Federation, seems bemused by a bizarre sort of Alfred E. Neuman, “What, me worry?” attitude. Absurdly, this dairy co-operative lobby has clung to the fiction that it represents the opinion of 80 percent of America’s dairy farmers. It ignores the theory the crisis might have its basis in the Chicago Mercantile Exchange’s cheese trading and the Exchange data that the USDA formula uses to set national minimum milk prices.

Senate Agriculture Committee member, Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, (D-NY) correctly identifies this calculation as the underlying cause of the crisis and is calling for comprehensive reform of the USDA milk price formula.

On Aug. 15, in opening remarks to a group farmers and ag. industry people in New York’s Chautauqua County, Gillibrand made the case for price formula reform: “There is no transparency or honesty in the pricing mechanism at

all, I want to push the envelope that there is a disconnect between the price of milk and how we come up with it through the price of cheese in Chicago.

I think there is a lot of corruption and anti-trust behavior that is there to keep (farm) prices down. I think we’ll push back on that.”

No transparency or honesty... corruption and anti-trust behavior? Yep, Senator Gillibrand was definitely looking at U.S. milk pricing. She has made an honest, bold and factual assessment of the USDA milk pricing formula and the cheese trading in Chicago that underpins it and the inherent chicanery therein.

The Senator is preparing a draft bill on milk price reform and other national dairy issues to be completed in the next several weeks. She has called on U.S. dairy farmers to pass their ideas and opinions on dairy reform to her through her Agricultural Aide, Jenna Smith, at Jenna Smith@gillibrand.senate.gov for consideration and possible inclusion in the Senator’s upcoming 2012 Farm Bill dairy initiative.

U.S. dairymen owe a debt of gratitude to Senator Gillibrand. She can think out of the box... even in Washington.

by Paris Reidhead Field Crops Consultant Juggling plates On April 15, 2010, the Icelandic volcano Eyjafjallajoekull erupted violently, and continued doing so for several days, terminating air travel in, from, and to Europe. Jet aircraft may not be flown anywhere near a volcanic ash cloud. Jet aircraft engines “ingesting” volcanic ash melt the ash into glass.

Volcanic ash’s melting point is about 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit (F). But a jet engine operates at temperatures about 500 degrees hotter. Because jet aircraft power plants lack air filtration systems, the bits of glass tend to melt onto the fuel nozzles and turbine blades.

With any major volcanic eruption, questions arise about what extent that seismic event can impact climate change. Some global warming skeptics insist that carbon dioxide (CO2) from volcanoes is largely responsible for driving climate change. Few mainstream seismologists and climatologists embrace this theory. Possible links between seismic events and climate change become a question similar to “which came first, the chicken or the egg?” Rising global temperatures could increase risk of geological activity like earthquakes, by influencing sea levels and oceanic distribution of water in a way that increases pressure on geological fault lines.

In addition to minute ash particles, volcanoes produce CO2, a greenhouse gas. Historically, the net cooling effect

(Contact: renrock46@hotmail.com)

caused by volcanoes has outweighed the warming. The 1991 eruption of Mount Pinatabo in the Philippines lowered global temperatures by about 0.80.9 F. But Pinatabo seriously dwarfs Eyjafjallajokull, so by comparison, the Icelandic eruption didn’t amount to a hill of beans. Then five days after that small volcano blew its top, the drilling rig Deepwater Horizon exploded atop its oil well in the Gulf of Mexico. The latter man-made calamity turned out to cause more environmental damage than the natural disaster with the hard-to-pronounce name.

Within the last week, as I write, seismic events became front page news. No volcanoes, but four earthquakes, spanned the lower 48 states: their epicenters were in Virginia, Colorado, California, and Saratoga County, New York. The New York quake was kind of a peewee with a 2.8 Richter rating.

With the idea that ash and CO2 spewed from a volcano can lower global temperature measurably, more and more scientists are asking the converse question: “Does climate change cause seismic events?”

According to Bill McGuire, head of the Benfield Hazard Research Centre at University College London: “In relation to anthropogenic (human-influenced) climate change, modeling studies and projection of current trends point towards increased risk in relation to a spectrum of geological and ge-

omorphological hazards in a warmer world, while observations suggest that the ongoing rise in global average temperatures may already be eliciting a hazardous response from the geosphere”. I take that for a “yes”.

If McGuire and his colleagues are right, rising temperatures can indeed lead to more and larger volcanic eruptions (and earthquakes, of course).

One major line of thought explains how global warning can increase the chances for “geologic events” (earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and tsunamis). Large glacial loads generally suppress earthquakes, but rapid deglaciation (melting) promotes earthquakes. Think of how a mattress rebounds when a person gets off of it. The post-glacial rebound stress that is available to trigger earthquakes today is not large enough to rupture intact rocks, but is large enough to reactivate pre-existing faults that are close to failure.

The most famous geologic fault is San Andreas (in California). A geologic fault is the boundary between two tectonic plates, in this case, the Pacific Plate and the North American Plate.

Seven major plates and 12 smaller plates comprise the lithosphere, the Earth’s hard outer layer. Thus, both postglacial rebound and past tectonic plate behavior play important roles in recent intraplate earthquakes in eastern Canada and eastern U.S. Intraplate earthquakes occur in the middle of tectonic plates, away from the edges; most quakes result as two separate plates engage each other at their borders. Postglacial rebound stress triggered the intraplate earthquake known as the New Madrid earthquake of 1811. That massive New Madrid quake, with its epicenter near St.

Louis, realigned part of the Mississippi River bordering Tennessee to form Reelfoot Lake.

Isostasy refers to the state of gravitational equilibrium between the layers just under the earth’s surface. One high school earth science text used the concept of isostasy to establish how megatons of silt and clay eroding from the Mississippi watershed impact the Gulf of Mexico: a case of very poor soil husbandry. The Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines “isostasy”: “the general equilibrium in the earth’s crust maintained by a yielding flow of rock material beneath the surface under gravitative stress”. Isostasy is the principle of buoyancy observed by Archimedes in his bath, where he saw that an immersed object displaces an amount of water equal in volume to that of the object.

Let’s bring this displacement concept closer to home. The Mississippi River is nicknamed “the Big Muddy.”

Its drainage basin is the world’s second largest, draining 1.83 million square miles, including parts of New York. Each spring, the rush of nitrogen and other chemicals flowing into the Mississippi River watershed ultimately turns more than 8,000 square miles of the Gulf of Mexico into a “dead zone,” a condition known as hypoxia. But dead zones are reversible. The Black Sea dead zone, previously the world’s largest, mostly disappeared between 1991 and 2001; fertilizers became too costly to use following the collapse of the Soviet Union. With the waning of chemical farming in the watersheds that fed the Black Sea, fishing has again become economically vital.

But the northern Gulf of Mexico is

Will urge court to not interdict science review WASHINGTON, D.C. – The National Alliance of Forest Owners (NAFO) commented on a lawsuit filed by the Center for Biological Diversity and others in the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia. The lawsuit seeks to roll back the EPA’s science and policy review of the regulation of biomass energy carbon emissions.

NAFO supports the EPA’s scientific and policy review and the three-year

deferral of regulating biomass carbon emissions under the Clean Air Act to allow time for the review. David P. Tenny, president and CEO of NAFO, said, "Biomass carbon emissions are fundamentally different than fossil fuels emissions, and EPA policy should reflect that scientific fact. That is why NAFO supports EPA’s decision to take a step back from treating the two identically and conduct a science and technical review. We will support EPA against an attempt to undermine this process,

because it is the right thing to do."

Tenny emphasized that, while NAFO supports the scientific and policy review by EPA, it is important that, "the EPA and other key agencies, like the Department of Agriculture and the Department of Energy, work together on a review free of arbitrary assumptions or parameters that could distort well-settled science. For instance, the review should recognize the well-established scientific fact that the forest carbon cycle is a dynamic, ongoing process occurring across broad landscapes with no specific start or end date. Arbitrarily limiting areas and timeframes when accounting for biomass carbon emissions, as some have tried to do, inevitably skews the forest carbon picture."

Crop from A6 suffering a lesser known threat, a new kind of dead zone, if you will. Most of the agricultural soils in the Mississippi Basin have lost 50-75 percent of their original virgin organic matter and humus. Lost organic matter intensifies drought, but also makes the injured fields unable to handle precipitation overloads. The bulk of this surplus moisture cannot be sponged by downstream soils, so the torrents keep gushing down to the Louisiana bayou country and through the mouth of the Mississippi. No wonder this region seems to get “century floods” every 25 years or so.

Huge quantities of topsoil from Big Muddy’s basin settle out in the Delta region below New Orleans... approximately 500 million tons per year. Siltation… which has become seriously in-

tensified in the last 200 years of “modern agriculture”… would be expected to fill in the Gulf of Mexico. The Gulf doesn’t fill up, because these displaced Heartland soils just pile up. Their weight pushes the earth’s crust down and outward so as to keep allowing space on top for more soil to land. According to isostasy, changing one thing here causes an equal change elsewhere. This impacted crust blends into the surrounding tectonic plate (in this case the North American Plate), causing it to sprawl faster into a neighboring tectonic plate: one such plate, to the south, is the Caribbean Plate. At some point such shifting results in seismic activity — like volcanoes and earthquakes. Haiti is located on the northern edge of the Caribbean Plate.

Biodiesel industry producing record volumes, fueling job creation Industry success in weak economy shows power of productive federal policy WASHINGTON, D.C. — U.S. biodiesel production reached a new monthly high of 81 million gallons in June, according to the latest EPA statistics, marking a third consecutive month of record volumes and continuing a remarkable turnaround in which biodiesel production in the first half of 2011 has already eclipsed production for all of 2010.

The new numbers — coming after Congress reinstated the biodiesel tax incentive this year — demonstrate the power that strong domestic energy policy can have in helping create jobs and economic activity.

Despite the weak economy, the biodiesel industry is on track to produce at least 800 million gallons this year, more than double biodiesel production of 315 million gallons last year, when Congress allowed the biodiesel tax incentive to temporarily lapse. According to a recent economic study, this year’s rejuvenated produc-

tion will support more than 31,000 U.S. jobs and generate income of nearly $1.7 billion to be circulated throughout the economy. It also is expected to generate an estimated $345 million in federal tax revenue and $283 million in state and local tax revenues.

“We’ve dramatically increased production and doubled our number of employees at a time when many industries are shrinking or treading water,” said Ben Wootton, owner of Keystone Biofuels in Camp Hill, PA. “It’s like night and day from 2010. I think that’s a testament to biodiesel’s staying power as an advanced biofuel and also to strong federal policy. We’re a young industry, and we wouldn’t be where we are today without the tax incentive — and a lot more people would be standing in the unemployment line.”

Added Joe Jobe, CEO of the National Biodiesel Board, the industry trade association: “Policy makers should take a look at our experience over the last couple of years. It’s a textbook case in how sound energy policy equates to sound

F UEL economic policy. Congress should not allow the biodiesel tax incentive to expire again at the end of this year. In this kind of economy, we need every tool we have.”

Since the introduction of the $1-pergallon biodiesel tax credit in 2005, U.S. biodiesel production climbed steadily until 2010, when Congress allowed it to lapse temporarily as the health care debate overshadowed other issues.

Production immediately plummeted from a record of about 700 million gallons in 2008 to about 315 million gallons in 2010.

The industry has bounced back quickly this year, after Congress reinstated the tax incentive in December 2010 and the EPA included biodiesel as an Advanced Biofuel in its new Renewable Fuels Program (RFS2), requiring minimum volumes of biodiesel use in U.S. fuels. In the first six months of this year, U.S. biodiesel production already has exceeded 375 million gallons.

The tax credit is again slated to expire in December of this year, threatening industry momentum and jobs.

Senators Maria Cantwell, D-WA, and Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, have introduced S. 1277 to extend the tax incentive for three years. Representatives Aaron Schock, R-IL, and Collin Peterson, D-MN have introduced a similar bill, H.R. 2238, in the House.

Biodiesel is America’s first advanced biofuel — a renewable, clean-burning diesel replacement that is reducing U.S. dependence on foreign petroleum, creating green jobs and improving our environment. Made from an increasingly diverse mix of resources such as agricultural oils, recycled cooking oil and animal fats, it is the first and only commercial-scale fuel used across the U.S. to meet the Environmental Protection Agency’s definition as an advanced biofuel. It is produced in nearly every state in the country and can be used in existing diesel engines.

DOE updated study highlights potential of next generation biofuels Know-how is there but political will is needed, says AEC An update to the Department of Energy’s (DOE) Billion Ton Study first conducted in 2005 reaffirms the belief that America possesses ample biomass resources (grasses, ag wastes, wood wastes, energy crops, etc.) to more than meet our national goals to replace increasing volumes of oil and other fossil fuels.

The 2010 Billion Ton Study update states that under its baseline scenario, sufficient volumes of biomass feedstocks would be available for conversion into ethanol and other biofuels and capable of meeting the goals of the Renewable Fuels Standard (RFS).

The DOE study states, “This potential resource is more than sufficient to provide feedstock to produce the required 20 billion gallons of cellulosic biofuels. The high-yield scenario demonstrates potential at the $60 price that far exceeds the RFS mandate.” The 2022 RFS requirements for advanced and cellulosic biofuels (i.e. those fuels not derived from corn starch and meeting the greenhouse gas reduction requirements) is 21 billion gallons.

“America has both the resources and the knowhow to break our addiction to foreign oil,” said Advanced Ethanol Council Executive Director Brooke Coleman. “What is lacking is the political

will to stand up to oil special interests and level the playing field for all biofuels, including next generation ethanol, to compete.

Scores of promising technologies

are ready for commercial deployment, but are being held up by an unstable and unpredictable policy climate. In order to deploy these technologies to harness the po-

tential of America’s vast biomass resources, and to compete in the global race to produce next generation fuels, consistent and stable policy re-

lating to biofuels is essential. That means continuing investment in new technologies, expanding refueling opportunities for domestically

produced, non-petroleum fuels like ethanol, and protecting the integrity and the intent of the RFS.”

There was a wooden stairway that led to the beach. It was not a very sandy beach, but one with a lot of slate. We’d find a spot to put our towels, then, wade in jumping up and down in the waves. None of us were great swimmers so we stayed close to shore.

achievements of the American workers” were the driving force between setting aside a holiday to honor the American worker. More than a century after the first observance of the holiday, the origin remains somewhat of a mystery with conflicting facts documented. Some credit Peter McGuire with the idea suggesting that it was during his tenure as secretary of the Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners that he insisted it was time for the nation to honor American workers.

Others suggest it was Matthew Maguire that proposed the holiday in 1882. The Central Labor Union adopted a Labor Day proposal and appointed a commission to plan a demonstration and a picnic for Tuesday, Sept. 5, 1882.

In 1884 the first Monday in September was made the official day for a “workingman’s holiday”. The first state to pass a law setting aside a day to honor laborers was Oregon.

Other states followed suit until the day was recognized as a national holiday.

I suggest at this point

that few people really realize what Labor Day was intended to be. It is nothing more than a holiday at this point. There are no public celebrations that pay homage to the American worker. It is just a day off for many while others work so that the ones who are off can enjoy their day of freedom from work.

In the years that we were farming, Labor Day was like any other day.

There was no day off. We got up, milked the cows, and did whatever else needed to be done. We seldom celebrated.

Sometimes the men were taking in second cut hay.

I was busy getting things ready for school. We started the week before the holiday so usually I had papers to correct and plans to make for the next week.

Since I was a working mother, I also cooked big meals over the weekend.

I wanted to be sure I had leftovers to heat up to last for most of the week.

Now there is even a television show devoted to cooking for a week. I was ahead of my time. I did

Bradford County Nutrient Management Field Day slated Sept. 14

by Kyleen Littlefield, Ag. Conservation Technician, Bradford County Conservation District The Bradford County Conservation District will be hosting a Nutrient Management Field Day on Wednesday, Sept. 14,

Hickory from A9 that 40 years ago.

I remember one particular Labor Day. The day was warm and sunny.

By evening the air was cool, but very pleasant. I wanted to be with my husband so I walked down to the barn. By then the children were off to college so it was just the two of us at home. It was a beautiful time to walk with the sun a brilliant orange slipping below the horizon. I walked slowly taking note of all of the changes happening in the fields. The pallet of the wildflowers changed from the summer offering to the autumn asters and goldenrod. I listened to the crickets chirping. I found a chrysalis on a stalk of milkweed and rescued it to take to my classroom the next day.

In my room science was all about doing things in a hands-on manner.

Savor the end of summer as it comes your way. Soak up the sunshine — it has to last for a long while. Get ready to enjoy the colorful show the Lord provides in the season we call autumn. I absolutely love the change of seasons. I must admit though that fall is not as exciting as spring. Spring is filled with anticipation while fall is filled with dread.

All too soon the plants will be dormant and will be covered with a mantel of white. At least we cannot say that we did not have a summer this year!

For Crop Insurance Policy Holders

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

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

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

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

LANCASTER, PA — Alltech® Pennsylvania has donated 36 microscopes to be placed on each of the six Mobile Ag Ed Science Labs managed by the Pennsylvania Friends of Agriculture Foundation.

The 100,000-plus students who utilize the lab during each school year will have the opportunity to perform a variety of experiments to create a more meaningful and enhanced agriculture learning opportunity and the microscopes, provided by Alltech, have added a new scientific element to their curricula.

Alltech, a global company, has a local office in Lancaster, PA and is focused on scientific solutions to animal health and nutrition challenges.

“One way to overcome some agriculture challenges is through education.

Delving into scientific experiments builds curiosity and interest in agriculture for youth. Using tools, such as the microscopes and lesson plans from the Alltech Kidzone Web site will have an everlasting effect to their educational experience, and we are happy to partner with the Friends of Ag Foundation to benefit Ag Education,”

said Stacy Andersen, Alltech PA marketing coordinator.

“We at the Friends of Ag Foundation are so grateful for Alltech's generosity in donating microscopes for our mobile agriculture education science labs.

Trioliet introduces new mixer Trioliet Mullos B.V. the world’s largest manufacturer of vertical TMR mixers is continuing to meet the needs of markets around the world with the introduction this summer of another addition to the VLH series! The new VLH-K model has a flat front chain conveyor designed for flat floor feeding either left or right.

For a number of years, Trioliet has offered single, twin and triple auger mixers with front cross conveyor belts that would feed both left and right. Trioliet also offers a flat chain conveyor on mixers 860 cubic foot and larger.

Last year Trioliet introduced the VLHC series which has a curved front cross conveyor chain that discharges left and right, but also elevates to feed into bunks when it is side shifted on mixers from 280-860 cubic foot.

Now in 2011 Trioliet adds yet another option to 280-860 cubic foot mixers with the introduction of the VLH-K series. This is a flat front cross conveyor chain that discharges left or right and has the option of side shift to prevent driving on the feed. All Trioliet chain conveyors use our time proven roller chain; the chain rolls around the conveyor instead of being dragged. The roller chain is quieter, requires less maintenance, wears the conveyor frame less while lasting longer than simple flat drag chains found on other mixers.

The VLH-K comes standard with the unique design of the Twin Stream Auger, Patented Trioform Knives, heavy sidewalls with an additional wear ring and Patented Offset Inserts in the Solomix 2 range. Whether you desire a heavy duty machine with a

The new VLH-K model has a flat front chain conveyor designed for flat floor feeding either left or right.

consistent mix in the dessert, the artic or anywhere in between, Trioliet builds a mixer that will work for you!

A Few Words

by Phoebe Hall

Memories At the family reunion last week, someone brought out old pictures and papers that they thought everyone would be interested in. One in particular caught my eye. It was memories written by my husband’s oldest sister who passed away this summer. She was the oldest of the 10 siblings, comprised of five girls and five boys.

She had been born in this house on the last day of 1924 and was delivered by the same doctor that brought her parents and all 10 of the children into this world.

She remembered in which room and what house all 10 of the kids were born. As an example; one brother was born in the parlor in this house during the winter of 1930.

Their mother was required to stay in bed for two weeks, while a hired nurse housekeeper, kept everything up to speed.

Four out of 10 were born in this house, while three younger ones were born in the tenant house next door. Another brother had been born down the road one mile at the grandparent’s home during a scarlet-fever epidemic. The youngest two were delivered in the hospital in a town 15 miles away during World War II. She recalled playing up in the haymow in the cow barn when she was young. One day she fell into a large hole in the hay that was all black and later told her parents about it. After further investigation they determined that the hay had been too wet when it was stored away, but since no oxygen was present, spontaneous combustion did not occur, thank-goodness!

The next July 3rd, however the barn did burn. They were able to get all the animals out except the big OLE

ornery bull. The hired man decided to go into the burning barn to get the bull out. He took a hammer with him, opened the door and started hitting the bull until it found its way to daylight. They say the bull took off like a bullet and never stopped running until he was all the way down to the woods a half mile away.

He stayed down there for a few days until they had time to round him up. Her father always said that he was the first to have his hay

in the barn and he was the first to have his barn burn down.

After that, she said they went to small bales. She told about having to sit on the four -man wire baler and feeding the wires through the wooden block. Since she wasn’t able to pick up those heavy wire bales, she was drafted to drive the old 1930 Ford model A truck as the brothers loaded.

She didn’t know how to shift it so they put it

into gear for her and told her to just drive. If she was getting too far ahead, she was told to push in the clutch. She said that on more than one occasion, she stopped too quickly and her poor brothers were thrown off the truck, along with the hay. She was reprimanded often for her ineptness.

After graduating from high school during WWII, she went off to nursing school when our country was desperately in need of nurses. A few

years later she met and married a farm boy who also helped here on this farm for a few years. But he always felt his calling was full time missionary work. She had just completed her 50 year as a missionary this spring.

I’ve always felt that a farm is a good place to equip any young person for any job.

This is one of her favorite Bible verses!

This is day the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it. (Psalms 118:24) NIV

CropCare has been producing Ag Sprayers for decades. An exciting addition to their 2012 equipment line is a 1000 gallon model, the TR1000, that enhances productivity by reducing refill trips for farmers that spray mid- tolarger size acreages. CropCare has been perfecting these larger sprayers to be models of durability, simplicity, with features and enhancement options that stay well within the budget.

Features include a 1,000 gallon “total drain” tank, Big Wheel Axle assembly, and either a PTO or Hydraulicdriven pump. The TR1000 has an adjustable wheel base from 62”-120”.

CropCare uniquely offers a “Built to Order” capability to tailor a sprayer for an individual farmer’s specific needs, increasing comfort and efficiency in usage — but staying within or below prices charged by other sprayer manufacturers. Just a portion of options include automatic rate control, freshwater rinse with power wash system, chemical induction, quick fill, safety lighting, hydraulic boom height adjustment, and precision GPS guidance systems that will keep you on the cutting edge of application technology.

CropCare’s careful engineering and high-quality American manufacturing

produces a high-performing machine that’s easy on the pocketbook, and backed by our strong customer service

standards and full-service sprayer parts division locally based in Pennsylvania.

Farm Energy Field Day comes to Four Winds Farm in Gardiner Are you curious about the solar panels on the neighbor’s barn? How much did those installations cost? How much electricity do they provide? Could you afford to do the same?

Well, now you can get plugged in to the details of renewable energy at a farm near you without having to peek over the fence. During the month of September, four farms around New York will

open their doors to the public for a guided tour of their energy saving strategies and renewable energy systems.

Farm Energy Field Day will take place on Sept.

12 from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. at the Four Winds Farm located at 158 Marabac Road in Gardiner. Jay and Polly Armour operate a 24 acre diversified organic farm.

The farm raises produce, heirloom seedlings, grass-fed beef, pasture raised turkeys, and intermittently pastureraised pork and eggs.

The centerpiece of the operation is passive-solar heated and earthcooled straw-bale vegetable barn with attached greenhouse. A 14-kw grid-intertied PV electric system is situated on the barn roof, which is being financed by a combination of a NYSERDA grant and a low-interest loan. A permanent raised bed system in the vegetable garden requires very little tractor time and hence very minimal fuel use.

The Armour’s also transport vegetables to market in a diesel van converted to run on waste vegetable oil (WVO).

mental stewardship had a “hands on” opportunity to look at various conservation practices that the District designed and constructed on the Smith farm. These projects are part of New York State’s efforts to implement its Agricultural Environmental Management program.

Water quality improvement projects that were showcased on the farm included: • Rotational Paddock Grazing system for heifer dairy animals with animal laneway and gravity water system in the pasture. Improved conservation of soil, nutrients, labor, and forage.

• Farmstead Best Management Practices (BMPs) including clean water exclusion, barnyard runoff management system, and milkhouse waste treatment system.

• Manure Transfer & Nutrient Management including soil and manure nutrient testing, manure nutrient recycling on crop fields, improved soil health

In keeping with the ‘green’ theme, a “local foods” luncheon was prepared and served on site at the farm tour.

Onondaga County Dairy Princess, Mary Burgett, served local ice cream.

Members of the Cazenovia Aggies — Future Farmers of America (FFA) also participated by serving as event staff.

Lawson Mills Biomass Solutions Ltd In a world of higher costs and less profit, Lawson Mills Biomass Solutions Ltd has developed a system that actually gives back to business owners. This system takes a raw material and by means of a series of integrated components, allows a producer to take a single or multiple products, combine them, create pellets and then cool them to create a finished, useable pellet. Using cold-press and floating roller technologies, the mills provide a

level of versatility previously unheard of in the pellet-making world.

One of the challenges that face businesses from all sectors is that of waste disposal. Many companies, whether in agriculture, forestry, feed production or manufacturing, have to deal with trying to dispose of a by-product after processing their primary material. In many cases, this is costly and time consuming.

Through use of the LM-72 series of pellet

systems, Lawson Mills Biomass Solutions provides a means to turn waste materials into useable, often saleable products. While many people associate pellet mills with the creation of wood pellets, these systems are much more versatile, allowing one to produce fuel pellets from wood waste, fuel crops, straw, hay, paper, commercial crop residue… virtually any biomass.

But fuel pellets are just the tip of the iceberg. Because the LM-72

series of mill are designed to produce minimal heat and are able to combine multiple ingredients, the Lawson Mills systems are used by feed producers to create specialty, value added feeds and fertilizers. Farmers and others can produce bedding that can be used in farm and pet applications. Compost companies and recycling companies use the systems for creating a wide variety of products. Univer-

All-American Dairy Foundation to award four new grants HARRISBURG, PA — Youth competing during the 2011 All-American Dairy Show will benefit from more than $25,000 in grant contributions that will help support educational and training opportunities during the show.

“Our youth are the future leaders of Pennsylvania’s dairy industry,” said Agriculture Secretary George Greig.

“The funds secured through the foundation are providing young dairy leaders more incentive to participate in the many educational activities at the show, securing their interest in – and the future of – the industry.”

The All-American Dairy Show Foundation, a non-profit group, secured the grants for the show, slated for Sept.

17-22 at the Pennsylvania Farm Show Complex and Expo Center.

Four grants totaling $4,758 have been issued by the foundation for 2011, including: • Premier National Junior Events Youth Networking and Career Grant for $1,100; • Premier National Junior Events Milking Shorthorn Grand Champion for $750; • Invitational Youth Dairy Cattle Judging Contest first and second place awards in four divisions for $1,560;

and • 4-H and FFA Dairy Judging Forum for 10 placing awards in two divisions for $1,348.

The Pennsylvania Dairy and Allied Industries Association submitted grant applications to the foundation trustee members including board chairman Bob Heilman, Richmond, VA; honorary chairman Art Nesbitt, Fort Atkinson, WI; George Cashell, Shippensburg, PA; Rita Kennedy, Valencia, PA; Jay Houser, Spring Mills, PA; Doug Evans, Georgetown, NY; Marilyn Hershey, Cochranville, PA; Bob Storch, Troy, PA; Dick Chichester, Falmouth, VA; and Donna and Jason Myers, New Windsor, MD. The trustees determine how the money should be used to support educational and training opportunities and awards for youth who participate in the All-American Dairy Show.

The seed money — $18,500 — for the foundation came from the sale of Holstein March calf, Savage-Leigh Z Linsee-ET, donated by Chip Savage of Knoxville, MD, in the Eastern Elite Holstein Sale during the 2008 AllAmerican Dairy Show.

Out of Savage-Leigh Bellwood Linda and sired by Ocean-View Zenith-TWET, the calf was first bought for

$10,000 by a syndicate that donated the calf back for resale. Donating $2,000 shares to the syndicate were Dieter Krieg, Darwin G. Braund, New Direction Holsteins, Jason and Donna Myers, and the Centre County Syndicate consisting of Centre County Dairy Vets, Fred Strouse, Mike Weimer, Rita Kennedy and Jay Houser. Tyler Peachey of McAlevys Fort, PA, bought the calf a second time for $8,500.

The first $500 grant given by the foundation secured the $1,000 United States savings bond won by the 2010 Grand Champion Holstein of the Premier National Junior Show.

“I applaud the many All-American Dairy Show volunteers committed to increasing opportunities for our young

dairy people to participate in the show,” Greig said. “Their efforts do not go unnoticed and are critical to coordinating this great event.”

The All-American Dairy Show is set for Sept. 17-22 at the Pennsylvania Farm Show Complex and Expo Center in Harrisburg. The Premier National Junior Events, themed “Little Stars Big Dreams,” run Sept. 17-20.

Show week boasts 23 dairy shows in six days with premiums for all exhibitors. Visit the All-American Dairy Show website at www.allamerican.state.pa.us or call the show office at 717-787-2905 for a complete show schedule, judges’ bios, premium list and contest brochures.

by Charles Fulhage and Joe Harner Slurry manure is typically generated in systems where little or no bedding is added to the excreted manure/urine.

Slurry manure is typically between 5 and 15 percent solids. It is “thicker” than liquid manure, but cannot be stacked or handled the same way as solid manure.

Collecting Slurry Manure Slotted Floor The simplest manure collection arrangement for slurry manure is the slotted or perforated floor over a manure collection tank. In this scenario excreted manure simply falls through openings in the floor on which the animals stand and collects in a tank below.

Scrapers Slurry manure can also be collected using scrapers. In this case the manure is usually confined in an alley (dairy freestall barn) or gutter under slats (swine confinement building). A scraper moves along the length of the alley or gutter and deposits the slurry manure in a reception pit or tank at the end.

Vaccuum Another type of slurry manure collection device utilizes a vacuum to “suck” slurry manure from a concrete surface and deposit it into a tank. This approach eliminates the need to pump the slurry manure into a tank or wagon.

Slurry Pumps Slurry manure has fluid properties that allow it to be moved by pumps that are specially designed to handle thick fluids containing solids and stringy material.

Slurry manure pumps are designed with opentype impellers and usually have cutting or chopping devices at the inlet to the impeller to minimize plugging problems.

Low-pressure/ high volume slurry pumps are used to fill tankwagons and move manure in other applications where higher pressures are not required. High-pressure slurry pumps are used to move manure through long pipelines and provide the needed pressure for land application in crop fields.

High pressure slurry manure pumps can move manure long distances through

Manure Handling

pipelines to field application equipment.

Transporting Slurry Manure Tankwagons Tankwagons can be used to transport or move slurry manure from one point to another, usually from a manure storage facility to a crop field. Tankwagons are available in a variety

of sizes from small (1,000 gallons) to quite large (12,000 gallons). Tankwagons typically serve the dual function of transporting slurry manure to a crop field and spreading or injecting the manure into the soil for crop nutrient uptake.

Pipelines Since slurry manure has fluid properties it

can be pumped through pipelines from storage to crop field as an alternative to hauling with a tankwagon. Pumping is a “continuous flow” process whereas hauling is necessarily a “batch” process. Hence pumping can offer significant advantages over hauling in

moving large amounts of manure in shorter lengths of time. Tankwagons are generally used to move manure over longer distances although pipelines have been used for distances up to five miles.

Rigid aluminum irrigation pipe has been used

for pumping slurry manure in the past. However the labor advantages of using flexible “layflat” tubing for pumping make this type of pipeline more attractive in many cases.

Long lengths of this tubing can be stored on reels and placed overland with much less labor than is required with rigid tubing.

Slurry Manure Land Application Field or land application of slurry manure requires that the application devices place the manure in the proper location and at the proper rate for good nutrient management practices.

Devices which inject or incorporate manure into the soil are generally

Partnership pays off for water quality and more How effectively farmers recycle farm nutrients influences water quality and the farms bottom line.

“Until this year we were spreading nearly 16,000 gallons of manure just about every day,” said Dave Dickey of South Town Dairy in Butternuts. “Now, with

the new storage system, we can spread it when it is drier and more favorable to the environment and in time with our planting. That protects the water in the Unadilla River and saves us a lot on fertilizer purchases.”

The newly installed 300,000 cubic foot storage system is the prod-

uct of a three-way partnership between local, state and federal agencies. “Good water is a high priority to the people in this area,” said Scott Fickbohm, District Manager of the Otsego County Soil and Water Conservation District, “and to get these types of projects done and improve local water quality you need good partners.

This project would not have happened without the support of our state and federal legislators and especially the folks at the Natural Resource Conservation Service.”

“Leveraging multiple funding sources is an efficient approach,” added

PaOneStop Web site to aid in nutrient management, conservation UNIVERSITY PARK, PA — Pennsylvania farmers looking to meet the state’s regulatory requirements for erosion and sediment control and nutrient-management planning can find help at PaOneStop, an online service from Penn State Extension that enables farmers to produce required maps of their farms.

Developed in cooperation with the Pennsylvania Conservation Commission, the state departments of Agriculture and Environmental Protection, the Chesapeake Bay Foundation, the National Consortium for Rural Innovations in America, and the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Natural Resource Conservation Service, the service is a suite of online tools being developed for nutrient management and erosion and sedimentation-control planning.

The first module of PaOneStop, currently available for use, enables farmers to create maps required for comple-

tion of nutrient balance sheets for imported manure, and nutrient-management plans as required by Pennsylvania’s Nutrient Management Act. Additional modules, now under development, will provide conservation tools to help farmers develop or update their own erosion and sedimentation plans.

“Recently, state environmental regulations have been revised, increasing the number of Pennsylvania farmers who need to complete nutrient-management plans, erosion and sedimentation plans, and nutrient balance sheets for manure transfers,” said Rick Day, associate professor of soil science and environmental information systems.

“State regulations require completion of nutrient balance sheets for manure transfers to protect water quality,” he said. “The state conservation commission estimates that more than 50,000 nutrient balance sheets are completed annually.

Partnership from A24 Tony Capraro, NRCS District Conservationist, “and it is our responsibility to the public to see that distributed funds are used in a fiscally sound manner. By leveraging NRCS’ Environmental Quality Incentives Program with the State’s Agricultural Nonpoint Source Pollution Abatement and Control Program and landowner funds we were able to reduce the amount each source contributed and leave funds available for other projects. It is a great partnership that we plan on continuing as long as we are able.”

As supporters of the Soil and Water Conservation Districts across the state, Senator Jim Seward and Assemblyman Peter Lopez were present to award Dickey with a sign recognizing the farms commitment to the environment.

“Our Soil and Water Conservation Districts do a fantastic job in balancing complex goals and community priorities” said Assemblyman Lopez. “Even as this project protects water quality in the Unadilla and Susquehanna Rivers, it also provides important support to our farm families. We’re very fortunate to have Scott Fickbohm and his staff as our partners in Otsego County.”

“This is an example of something done right,” added Senator James L. Seward (R-C-I Oneonta).

“By leveraging funding from multiple sources we were able to complete a project that helps the environment, protects the Chesapeake Bay, and improves the efficiency of a local farm. I look forward to additional suc-

cesses like this that will boost the local economy and further enhance our state’s number one industry — agriculture.”

“We are able to do all of this because of the framework provided by the Agricultural Environmental Management Program,” said Fickbohm. Districts across the state use the AEM program to assess environmental concerns on farms, create a conser-

vation plan and then implement practices to mitigate those concerns.

“For us in Otsego we’ll have two other big projects done by the end of the year and have three more farms on-line to begin work next year,” continued Fickbohm “the AEM program benefits our farms, our communities and helps protect our natural resources. It’s a win-winwin scenario.”

“The balance sheets require maps as part of the submission process, and that’s difficult for most farmers — the maps and plans should include field boundaries, acreages, stream and water features, wells, application setbacks and buffers, soils, aerial images and more.”

PaOneStop users can access color

aerial images of their farm; outline boundaries and calculate acreages of their fields; access Natural Resource Conservation Service soils maps and data for fields; and record such farm features as wells, sinkholes, ponds and streams. They also can access topographic maps, determine manure

Protection’s Chapter 102 requirements. He says of Pennsylvania’s approximately 59,000 farms, up to 40,000 lack current plans in compliance with DEP’s Chapter 102 regulation.

“The current rate of plan development is much too slow, partially because farmers lack tools to develop and modify their own erosion and sedimentation plans,” he said. “PaOneStop will increase the rate of plan development and bring more farms into regulatory compliance.”

For many farmers, current management systems may be acceptable and no changes will be required. However, current regulations state that an erosion and sedimentation plan must be completed, even if cur-

rent management is acceptable, so this procedure must be done for all farms to be legally compliant with regulations.

To get started, visit the PaOneStop Web site at www.paonestop.org, create a user name and password and start mapping. For online assistance or additional information, call 877-7224724, or e-mail Rick Day, rday@psu.edu, or Bob Neiderer, rjn11@ psu.edu. Penn State Extension will be conducting training sessions on the use of PaOneStop in the near future.

“Currently there are more than 350 users of the system who have mapped more than 1,000 different farms,” Day said. “We also will have numerous training events coming up.”

Slow cooker tips

Sausage Gravy

Sausage Gravy Prep time: 5 minutes Cook time: 15 minutes Makes 4 servings

• To cook food safely, manufacturers and the USDA recommend that the slow cooker be filled between half- and two-thirds full.

• Ground meats, poultry and sausage must be completely cooked before you place them in the slow cooker. Brown in a skillet over medium heat.

• Don’t open the lid during the cooking process — each peek adds an additional 15 to 20 minutes of cooking time.

• Dairy products tend to break down in a slow cooker, so only add them during the last 15 minutes of cooking.

• For high altitude cooking, add an additional 30 minutes for each hour of time specified in the recipe.

Prep time: 15 minutes Cook time: 20 minutes Makes 4 to 6 servings 1 pound Bob Evans Zesty Hot Sausage 1/2 cup thinly sliced red onion 1/2 cup Bob Evans Wildfire BBQ sauce 4 10-inch flour tortillas 1 cup (4 ounces) shredded Monterey Jack Cheese Sour cream Salsa In skillet over medium heat crumble and cook sausage and onions until brown. Stir in BBQ sauce.

Lay 2 tortillas on a flat surface. Top each with 1/4 cup cheese.

Divide sausage mixture between the two. Sprinkle each with 1/4 cup cheese. Top with remaining tortillas.

Heat large skillet over medium heat. Add a small amount of oil to coat bottom of skillet. Cook one quesadilla at a time until golden brown on each side, about 2 to 3 minutes per side. Cut into wedges and serve with sour cream and salsa.

Make a better after-school snack (NAPSA) — Between school, homework, sports practices and other after-school activities, families have a lot to juggle. With such busy afternoon schedules, kids may need a quick and appetizing snack before dinner.

Don’t worry, it’s easy to choose tasty snacks that the entire family will love. Here are a few simple ideas: • Serve a group of youngsters a time-tested favorite — “ants on a log.” Kids will have fun filling their stalk of celery with peanut butter and topping it with raisins. Parents can try mixing up this recipe by offering a variety of different ingredients for each child’s taste, letting them make their own snack creation. As an alternative to peanut butter, try cream cheese or hummus. Use granola, peanuts, dried cranberries and sunflower seeds for the “ants.”

• Keep precut fruits, veggies and cheese in the refrigerator so snacks are ready at a moment’s notice. Kids will have fun using a toothpick to dip slices of fruit into yogurt or using their fingers to dip veggies like carrots or celery into hummus or veggie dip. Also, cheese slices are great to munch on with whole grain crackers.

• Create homemade trail mix that can be enjoyed immediately or stored for a quick, on-the-go snack.

Combine items such as kids’ favorite cereals, dried fruits, nuts, mini whole grain crackers and even a few chocolate pieces.

Attention: Livestock, Equine and Hay Producers

Hay & Pasture Crop Insurance for 2012 Enrollment deadline: September 30, 2011 Known also as Pasture, Rangeland, Forage Rainfall Index (PRF-RI), the program insures against lack of precipitation. For hay and hay crop silage of established perennial forages, PRF offers up to $306 of protection. For pasture, the policy can provide up to $60 of protection per acre.

Key features • Policy covers a single peril, lack of rainfall.

• Producers select acreage and months for customized coverage.

• Policy is available in all NY counties.

• No historical production records are required.

• USDA/RMA subsidizes 50 to 59% of premium costs.

• Indemnity payment, if due, is mailed automatically.

• Premium payment is due July 1, 2012.

• Program also applies to apiculture producers.

How it works Step 1:

With the help of a crop insurance agent, locate your farm on a PRF map available at www.rma.usda.gov/policies/pasturerangeforage divided into 12 square mile grids. The program uses historic rainfall data to determine normal rainfall for each grid.

Step 2:

Select at least two non-overlapping two-month periods most important for grazing or hay production to insure against below-average rainfall in the grid area. You can insure between 10% and 70% of your acreage in any one 2-month period.

Step 3:

Decide the crop value you want to insure. Your selection of value can be between 60% and 150% of the county base value per acre. For hay, the base value is about $226 per acre. Pasture base values vary by county in New York, from $15 to $44 per acre. You can decide whether to insure your land as hay or pasture if the land can be either. Apiculture value is approximately $87 per colony.

To learn more and to enroll by the September 30 sales closing deadline, contact an approved crop insurance agent.

AUCTION SECTION and MARKET REPORTS

CHEESE PRICES RALLY WILL IT HOLD? Issued Aug. 26, 2011 Cash cheese prices saw a third week of sharp decline the week of August 22 but ended on an up note. The blocks plunged to $1.73 but regained a nickel on Thursday and a penny on Friday, to close at $1.79 per pound, down 11 cents on the week, down 36 1/2-cents from its July peak, but

still 9 1/2-cents above a year ago. A penny movement on cheese equates to about a dime on the milk price.

The barrels rolled down to $1.6925 but also rallied and closed Friday at $1.7225, down 14 cents on the week, 41 1/4 below its peak, but 5 3/4-cents above a year ago. The NASS-surveyed U.S. average block price slipped a penny and a half, to $2.1322, while

the barrels averaged $2.1489, down 1.2 cents. Twelve cars of block traded hands on the week and 25 of barrel, 13 on Friday.

University of Wisconsin emeritus professor Dr. Robert Cropp said in Tuesday’s DairyLine that cheese could come back up in October but $2 was not sustainable even though milk production was impacted by the weather in July and August.

Looking for the “silver lining in the dark cloud,” eDairy economist Bill Brooks said in their August 25 Executive Edition that “while the declines in cheese prices

"Samuel Anthony LaScala was one of the true icons of our time, whether it was buying complete farms and dispersing the cattle, machinery and real estate or doing the same with homes. Over the years he has accumulated a vast amount of antiques, furniture, and collectibles as well as the balance of his own farm machinery. Those of us who remember the larger than life gentleman and those who did not be at Genesee Road in Chaffee, NY on the 15th of September for an outstanding collection with something for everyone."-Bill Kent Watch for details, photos, and a complete listing!

occurred more quickly than many expected, lower cheese prices could spur demand and get product moving. The industry could see better fourth-quarter sales now than had cheese prices remained above $2.”

Butter closed the week at $2.0925, up a half cent, but 8 3/4-cents below a year ago when it had jumped 14 cents.

Only three cars found new homes this week.

NASS butter averaged $2.0668, down 2.7 cents. NASS powder averaged $1.5537, down 3.3 cents, and dry whey averaged 57.08 cents, up 0.6 cent.

The $2 butter price is

more understandable, according to Bob Cropp, because butter stocks remain fairly tight, though they have increased some, but sales are good. He warned that the price could soon fall below $2 as there’s more cream available with schools reopening, thus more milk going to fluid use, and there’s less ice cream being produced.

Our guess is that buyers are likely holding off holiday butter purchases, hoping the price will slip.

High corn, soybean, and hay prices will keep a lid on milk production, according to Cropp, especially for those who have to buy most of their

feed. The drop in July output per cow is reflective of those high feed prices, he said, and he believes output per cow will remain on the low side and you may see a slowdown in cow numbers which have been building every month since last October.

He sees U.S. milk output remaining close to a 1 percent increase from a year ago which he said will maintain a “reasonable milk price;” not $20 plus but $17 or $18 is realistic, he said. USDA revisions, lowering its corn and soybean crop estimates impacts things as

Mielke from B1 well, he said, along with the international market, which is expected to be a little soft, he concluded.

Speaking of cow numbers; USDA estimates 207,100 culled dairy cows were slaughtered under federal inspection in July, down 18,800 head from June and 12,000 less than July 2010. JanuaryJuly dairy cow slaughter was estimated at 1.665 million head, up 69,600 from the same period in 2010.

Looking “Back to the futures;” the Federal order Class III contract’s average for the last half of 2011 was $18.54 per hundredweight on July 8,

$19.29 on July 15, $19.75 on July 22, $19.92 on July 29, $19.75 on August 5, $19.42 on August 12, $19.18 on August 19, and in the neighborhood of $19.32 late morning August 26.

USDA’s July Cold Storage report says butter inventories declined 2.6 million pounds after increasing 48.6 million in May and June. Stocks totaled 187.7 million pounds, down 1 percent from June, and 3 percent below July 2010.

American type cheese amounted to 648.6 million pounds, up 30.9 million or 5 percent from June, and just 9.1

WEEKLY MARKET REPORT

Section B - Page 10 September 5, 2011 • Let Them Know You Read COUNTRY FOLKS •

Mielke from B2 dex (CPI) for milk was the highest since September 2008, according to the DDR. The April to July cheese CPI was up 6.3 percent from last year and butter was up 22.3 percent. Interestingly, butter sales were up about 5.5 percent in the first half of 2011, though prices closed at or above $2 in all but three weeks of that period.

Back on the farm; USDA reports that temperatures have moderated across all but the Southern tier of states and milk production is slowly recovering from the excessive heat of recent weeks. Schools are reopening across many parts of the country resulting in Class I capturing more of the milk supply.

Florida imported its first loads of milk for 2011. Manufacturing milk supplies in the East and Central regions are tight in many cases. The Eastern seaboard awaits the arrival of Hurricane Irene and it many impacts.

Western milk supplies are above year ago levels thanks to moderate temperatures and increased cow numbers.

Fluid milk and condensed solids are moving into deficit areas, although transportation costs are a hindrance.

Increased Class I demand has made more cream available. Demand is mixed as ice cream production slows and other Class II products begin to increase.

Looking abroad; milk production in Europe continues to decline seasonally, although overall volume is running heavier than last year at this time.

Some traders and handlers are reporting that, although it is the summer holiday season and Ramadan is ongoing, sales activity is more active than anticipated. Sales, especially to the Middle East, are being reported, according to USDA. Traders report that international interest might be resuming as buyers feel

that European prices for some products might be at the bottom and product is available for immediate and future shipment. Much of current demand is to fill 4th quarter needs.

The winter season continues in New Zealand as cold temperatures and heavy snowfall blanketed areas of the North and much of the South Island. Auckland received snow for the first time in many years. The question that milk producers and handlers were asking is how long the snow will remain on the ground and what impact will this have on early season grass growth and the start of the new milk production season.

Conditions are much the same as

they have been for the current winter season in Australia. Wet conditions in some dairy regions of Victoria continue to concern producers and handlers. Elsewhere within Victoria, temperatures start to warm, but then a cold snap arrived to quickly curtail an early arrival of spring. Although there are negative conditions in both New Zealand and Australia that potentially will impact output, producers and handlers remain optimistic about the season.

Cheese was unchanged.

The Daily Dairy Report says, “Had these changes been effect from May 2006 to April 2011, the five-year average price of Class 4a, 3 and 2 would have been 16 cents per hundredweight lower and the 4b would have been 15 cents higher.” The new formulas are effective on September milk.

In dairy politics; Dairy Profit Weekly editor Dave Natzke reported in Friday’s DairyLine that

“One point of emphasis of the Obama Administration was targeting antitrust activities, and the largest U.S. milk processor, Dean Foods, and largest dairy cooperative, Dairy Farmers of America, were squarely in their sites.” Three lawsuits alleging antitrust activities

by Dean Foods were underway at the same time, according to Natzke, and are in various stages of being resolved.

In a class-action lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court of Vermont on behalf of dairy farmers in 11 states, Dean reached a $30 million settlement.

million in attorney costs, was August 23.

In a case filed in a Wisconsin U.S. District Court, one provision of an out-of-court settlement called for Dean to sell a fluid milk processing plant in Waukesha, Wisconsin. Dean purchased the plant from Foremost Farms in 2009.

In an announcement earlier this month, OpenGate Capital, a global private equity firm, signed a definitive agreement to acquire the Dean’s plant and related assets, including the Golden Guernsey brand name.

Resolution of another class-action lawsuit, filed in the Eastern District of Tennessee, remains less clear, Natzke said. Dean originally agreed to a $140 million settlement with dairy farmers in the Southeastern region of the U.S. After that settlement was announced however, members of Dairy Farmers of America, who make up well over a third of the dairy farmers in that part of the country, were exempted as members of the “class,” because DFA is a co-defendant in the lawsuit. As a result, Dean vacated the settlement, and is considering other options, Natzke reported.

A trial date has been set for September 13. Dean Foods has admitted no wrongdoing in all three cases, Natzke concluded.

Finally; the Milk Producer’s Council’s Rob Vandenheuvel reminded his members in his Au-

gust 19 newsletter that October 1 marks the start of a new fiscal year for the Milk Income Loss Contract (MILC) program. He wrote that, while efforts are underway to reform and improve dairy farm “safety nets as it stands now, the MILC and the Dairy Price Support programs continue to be our main safety nets.”

While there is no indication that the milk price will be low enough to trigger an MILC payment in the near future, he warned that, “given the volatility in dairy markets, we simply don’t know whether the program will trigger in for any of the months between October 1, 2011 and September 30, 2012.”

The MILC program limits the payments made under the program to 2.985 million pounds, which is only about 3 months worth of production for a 500 cow dairy producing 65 pounds per head per day.

Larger dairies may only be collecting payments for weeks or months, he warned, so it’s important to choose months with the highest payment rates in order to maximize the amount received under the program. “Do the math and check with your banker,” he concluded. “You have until September 14th to make changes.” Contact your local Farm Services Agency office for complete details.

Trucks ATA applauds historic large truck fuel efficiency standards ARLINGTON, VA — American Trucking Associations praised the Obama administration for their work to set, for the first time, fuel efficiency standards for medium- and heavy-duty trucks.

“Today’s (Aug. 9) announcement by President Obama is welcome news to us in the trucking industry,” ATA President and CEO Bill Graves said. “Our members have been pushing for the setting of fuel efficiency standards for some time and today marks the culmi-

nation of those efforts.”

In 2007, ATA endorsed a six-point sustainability program that included a proposal to set technologically feasible efficiency standards.

“While it is too early to know all the potential effects of this rule, we do know it sets us on the path to a future where we depend less on foreign oil, spend less on fuel and contribute less to climate change,” Graves said. “ATA is pleased that President Obama, Sec-

retary LaHood and Administrator Jackson have taken this historic step, but we believe these new standards are just one tool we should be using to cut fuel use by the trucking industry.”

Graves said in addition to the standards, the U.S. should implement a national speed limit of 65 miles per hour for all vehicles and issue rules requiring trucks to be electronically governed at that speed; efforts should be made to reduce congestion, which

leads to increased idling and wasted fuel, and provide incentives for technology that reduces idling while trucks are off the road; the federal government must continue its support of the incredibly successful EPA SmartWay program and finally, Congress must reform federal truck size and weight limits in order to allow the industry to operate its most productive and efficient vehicles.

ATA urges governors to reject toll hike ARLINGTON, VA — American Trucking Associations President and CEO Bill Graves called on Governors Chris Christie of New Jersey and Andrew Cuomo of New York to reconsider an “ill-conceived and unprecedented” toll hike which was recently approved, at their request, by the Port Authority of New York & New Jersey.

“We urge you to veto this proposal, which will not only devastate trucking companies who serve the New York City area, but will also increase the cost of doing business in a region already regarded as among the most expensive in the nation,” Graves, the former twoterm governor of Kansas,

wrote in an Aug. 25 letter.

Graves added that ATA, along with the state trucking associations in New York and New Jersey, were vehemently opposed to a plan where “a majority of new revenues will subsidize projects with no benefit to those paying the tolls.”

“The trucking industry is willing to pay its fair share for the roads and bridges we depend on,” Graves said. “But this increase will primarily pay for the Authority’s other operations, notably the reconstruction of the World Trade Center.”

In his letter, Graves said the proposed tolls will be nearly three times higher than for comparable bridges nationwide.

ALWAYS 4 TRUCKS ON THE ROAD FOR FARM, CONSTRUCTION SITE, AND ROAD SERVICE

Furthermore, Graves said the combined effect of toll increases in the region must be considered by policy makers before moving forward.

For example, if these, as well as other proposed increases in the I-95 corridor are implemented a truck hauling goods from Baltimore to Manhattan will see its toll burden rise from $114.25 today to $209.25 in just three years.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — American farmers and ethanol producers are both the most productive and most efficient of any across the globe. As the Renewable Fuels Association pointed out recently, American farmers are producing twice as much corn on virtually the same acres as a generation ago. The same kind of productivity and efficiencies gains are being mirrored across domestic ethanol production as well.

In a recent installment of the RFA’s series on efficiency, RFA Vice President Geoff Cooper takes on the crit-

ics who contend that both farming and ethanol production is simply too energy-intensive.

Critics of farmers, and by extension ethanol production, will immediately tell you that the tremendous growth in corn production is due to increased fertilizer use. As is often the case, such critics are not using facts. Data from USDA show that 2010 application rates of the three common macronutrient fertilizers (nitrogen, potassium, and phosphate) were the same — or below — the application rates seen in the early 1980s. Thus, nitrogen appli-

cation per bushel of corn produced is down more than 30 percent since the early 1980s, while potassium and phosphate usage per bushel are down some 40 percent.

Likewise, according to a landmark study by the Keystone Alliance (a group including both farm groups and environmental organizations, such as Environmental Defense Fund and The Nature Conservancy) the amount of water, energy, and land required to produce a bushel of corn were substantially reduced between 1987 and 2007.

These same critics will also contend that the growing production of ethanol at the more than 200 biorefineries across the country is due to increased resource use as well. As with their “facts” about farming, such critics are not using 21st century data.

For example, the energy requirement (measured in British Thermal Units or

BTUs) to produce a gallon of ethanol has fallen by 28 percent since 2001 to just under 26,000 BTUs. That compares to the 77,000 BTUs contained in a gallon of ethanol. Such improvements alone completely undermine and render dishonest claims that ethanol production uses more energy than it produces.

Similar reductions in electricity demand and water use have been even more impressive, with both falling 32 percent and 47 percent respectively.

“As the data clearly demonstrate, America’s ethanol producers are mirroring the efficiency gains of the American farmers upon whom they rely for feedstock,” said Cooper. “As existing processes evolve and new production technologies emerge, ethanol production in the U.S. will not only increase in volume, but also in efficiency. Without a doubt, today’s ethanol industry is high-tech and increasingly energy efficient.”

Tips for identifying a potential Mycoplasma bovis case The dead giveaways that M. bovis is in a herd Bovine respiratory disease (BRD) can be caused by both viral and bacterial agents, but nailing down the culprit to just one factor can be difficult. When Mycoplasma bovis is involved, there may be a few signs that help point producers in the right direction.

“To me, it’s important to look at how the cattle are started,” says Daniel Scruggs, DVM, Veterinary Operations, Pfizer Animal Health. “I think it can be obvious when you have an M. bovis problem when you’re three and four weeks into the cattle, and you have late pulls and nonresponse issues. The window between 14 and 21 days is a critical time period to identify when you have M. bovis problems.”

One of the most common infectious agents connected to clinical cases of BRD, M. bovis often leads to joint infections, ear infections, weight loss, pneumonia and

fever. However, once clinical signs are apparent, it’s often too late to treat it effectively, Dr. Scruggs notes.

To help avoid the costly effects of M. bovis, Dr. Scruggs recommends using good animal husbandry to reduce overall stress on the animal and paying close attention to the type of cattle that are purchased. Treating cattle early with a proven antimicrobial labeled for M. bovis and other BRDcausing pathogens can help control the disease.

Dr. Scruggs cautions that bad weather and other factors can contribute to illness unrelated to M. bovis, but it’s often better to overreact than underreact due to the potentially costly — and deadly — results.

“The number one M. bovis-related loss is chronics, which are sold at a discount,” Dr. Scruggs notes. “The second biggest loss is mortalities, and those animals can take a lot of time and retreatment costs that are never recovered. Then, there are the animals that survive, but go on to be a much less efficient animal.”

Commissioner announces grant to promote local foods Federal matching grant promotes local foods through bed and breakfasts A federal matching grant will boost local food producers and tourism by encouraging bed and breakfast operators to feature locally produced food and agricultural products. New York State Agriculture Commissioner Darrel J. Aubertine announced the $73,824 grant awarded through the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Federal-State Marketing Improvement Program (FSMIP). New York is one of 19 states and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico to receive 25 grants.

The Department will receive the grant in cooperation with Cornell Cooperative Extension of Madison County, which will lead the two-year project, NOFA-NY, the Empire State B&B Association, Central New York Bounty, the New York Small Scale Food Processors Association and the University of Illinois Extension.

“This continues our efforts to boost locally produced food products in New York and to encourage agri-tourism,” said Commissioner Aubertine. “This is another market channel for our local producers that will help them build their business.”

“FSMIP provides our state partners with matching funds to explore new and innovative approaches to marketing U.S. food and agricultural products,” said Agriculture Deputy Secretary Kathleen Merrigan.

“USDA supports state and local projects ranging from research to retail to ensure that quality American products are marketed efficiently and effectively.”

Steve Miller of Cornell Cooperative Extension of Madison County said, “This is a great opportunity for New York pro-

ducers to have visitors from outside the State, as well as New Yorkers, to be able to taste the high quality foods we have to offer and to be able to bring some of these back home with them. The project stands to benefit both the tourism and agriculture industries.”

The program will en-

courage B&B operators to feature locally produced food and agricultural products in meals served to their guests, carry shelf stable local products such as jams, maple syrup and sauces, and to measure the economic impact on producers of sales made through this specialized marketing channel.

All producer organizations and B&B owners are encouraged to participate in the project which will begin this Fall. For more information on how to participate: contact Steve Miller at sgm6@cornell.edu 315-684-3001 x127 or Jonathan Thomson at jonathan.thomson@agm kt.state.ny.us.

Governor Christie submitted a disaster designation request to U.S. Ag Secretary Tom Vilsack on Aug. 22... looks like the only impediment to a full designation of the entire state would be gaps in damage reports, so it’s important to get that information in.

Contact your local USDA-FSA office if you have any questions.

Dairy: On national dairy policy, efforts by Representative Colin Peterson of the House Ag Committee to push a bill aligned with NMPF’s “Foundation for the Future” may run aground.

Peterson said he hoped to promote the bill before the 2012 farm bill debate begins. But committee chairman Representative Frank Lucas said he would not consider the bill unless there was a consensus for it throughout all sectors of the nation’s dairy industry.
