Agriculture is alive and well at the New York State Fair Despite the threat of severe weather, the 2011 New York State Fair was host to over 900,000 visitors from Aug. 25- Sept. 5. This year’s agricultural area’s stalls and aisles were brimming with competitors adding last minute touches to their animals to attract the judge’s attention. Thousands of animals were showcased to appreciative spectators. Giggles and squeals could be heard from children as they were exposed to the various species for the first (or hundredeth) time. The New York State Fair provided fun, excitement, as well as education, to all who attended.

by Julie Cushine-Rigg Dust settled as the ‘cow truck’ watered down driving and foot paths for fairgoers on the second day of this year’s Washington County Fair (WCF). A quiet but steady start greeted ticket buyers and holders to the Blue Gate Entrance early on Wednesday morning — a beauty of a fair day! The fairgrounds aren’t far from Schuylerville, NY and hosted the fair from Aug. 22 – 28. The barns are at the center of the WCF, physically and otherwise. 4-H participants and booths are prominent, animals move among the emerging crowd, and mornings are all about the youth shows. Fairgoers were patient, and allowed plenty of room for the animals to pass before them. It was a testament to what the fair is all about; families, farming, and a chance for the children to show results of their hard work. Judging was taking place for many of the shows, including Youth Dairy (Holstein, Jersey, and Milking Shorthorn). Not far away, and at the same time was the show for Youth Dairy and Fiber Goats. Outside the busy tent of the Youth Dairy show, children were adorned in whites and numbers. Seven-year old Regan Bittel and ‘Jasmine’ waited — and waited. They were ready, and ‘Jasmine’ especially wanted to get things rolling. You could tell by her attentiveness to Reagan. At four months, she’s a pretty little Jersey Spring Heifer calf, and Regan, who stood not much taller than her, was full of pride. “I’m excited, and a little nervous,” Regan admitted as he held ‘Jasmine’ close. From Beech Hill Farms in Greenwich, Regan’s dad, Michael Bittel wasn’t far behind the duo, waiting too for the show about to take place under the tent. This was Regan’s first year of competition, and he placed 4th out of 11 the previous day for how well he handled ‘Jasmine’ in the Showmanship Competition. Stories like the Bittel’s were unfolding

with every show. Anxiety was present, but not overwhelming. Most families were there as part of tradition. “It’s a pretty important part of farming, and this fair is nice because it’s a closed county fair,” said Greg Rowland of the fair. Rowland operates Ro-Acres Farm in Cambridge, NY and his family has been showing at the WCF for 25 years now. Nine-year old Bradley Rowland took a few minutes to settle with his cow, ‘Sage’, as she took it easy between visitors. Bradley didn’t have too much to say, but his smile and snuggle with ‘Sage’ sufficed. As vacation for so many farming families, the fair is at once bustling and relaxing. Behind the scenes, coffee is being poured, conversations are flowing, and preparations are finalized for competitions. And of course, there are the prize winning ribbons, proudly displayed. “The kids get to see their friends, they’re competing in shows, taking part in the fair. It’s great!” said Greg of the general feel to the fair. At the back of one of the barns, outside and taking in the morning sun, were Logan Duel and his Shorthorn ‘Bella Marie’. The Duel family operates Rock Cut Farm, in Argyle where they raise grass-fed beef cattle. Logan was readying for a competition later, rubbing ‘Bella Marie’s’ belly — and greeting some curious fairgoers. “Oh, this really relaxes her,” replied Logan to a passerby who asked him what he was doing. His mom, Tammy Duel was having a break between shows and talked about all of her kids and the competitions they entered. “They all compete. We’ve been coming here for 20 years and it just a really nice fair, very family oriented,” Tammy said. “I won two blue ribbons, and one pink!” said Reegan Duel as she stepped

Barber Brothers Farm by Katie Navarra Finding a niche in the dairy industry distinguished one farm from another and provides a source of income or savings for the farm. Barber Brothers Farm in Schuylerville, NY, specializes in selling Holstein heifers, stockpiling silage and developing their own mix of feed for the 650 milking cows on the farm. “Last year we sold 70 heifers and even a few milking cows to a farm in Vermont,” said Clinton, “Clint”, Barber, owner of the farm. Barber Brothers Farm was founded in 1939 by Clint’s father and uncle. The brothers worked on their father’s dairy near Wilton, NY, until graduating from high school. After graduation the two partnered up to start their own dairy on

Route 32 in Schuylerville. The original dairy was small with only four or five milking cows. Through the years the herd gradually expanded. In 1976, Clint purchased the dairy from his father and uncle, carrying on the family’s legacy. “The only request was that I retain the name, Barber Brothers,” he said. Barber Brothers Farm remains a family owned and operated dairy. Clint and his wife, Linda, involved both their children Chad and Courtney, in the activities on the farm as they were growing up. “When Courtney was 10, she developed a passion for horses,” Linda and Clint reminisced, “we would pay $75 a day for her to attend horse camp where she mucked stalls, but she wasn’t ever

interested in the cow barns at home.” As Courtney’s interest in showing grew, Clint and Linda built Black Orchid Stables, across the street from the dairy to allow Courtney to pursue her interest in horses. Chad, however, enjoyed the dairy and continued to work on the farm around attending school. He officially joined the business in 1996 after graduating from high school. Since joining the farm fulltime, Chad has been an integral part of the farm’s expansion. Chad first convinced Clint to double the size of the herd from 300 milking cows to its current size of 650. “We sell our milk to Stewarts and account for 20 percent of all milk shipped to Stewarts,” Clint noted. A few years after expanding the herd, Chad turned his attention to a new machinery shop. He devoted hours to designing the floor plan and layout of the space. Clint expected it would be filled with skidsteers and other machinery. Instead, the facility includes space to repair equipment and also has a finished gathering area, not only for family and staff, but also as a meeting area for local groups. “The Cooperative Extension used it, the Troopers have used it as a place to hold educational meetings,” Clint said, “Chad is always reading and researching new things. He sets specific goals and then achieves them.” Chad also decided it would be beneficial for the farm to convert an old corn crib into a bulk commodities storage area so the cow’s feed ration could be mixed onsite. An addition was built on

one side of the corn crib providing space for a tractor and feed wagon to pull through for loading. “We get 25 tons of corn meal delivered once a week,” Linda explained. Working closely with their supplier they monitor the feed quality to make sure the cows receive the necessary nutrients and also stay informed on the most reasonably priced feed types. “We recently switched to using citrus pulp rather than cotton seed because of the increasing price of cotton seed,” Linda added. Clint and Chad dedicate a great deal of attention to how much and the process they use for storing silage on the farm. “We have a huge inventory of silage from 2009 and 2010,” he boasted. Despite the difficult growing season of 2011 they are confident that they will have enough to feed the herd through the winter and early next year. “We were asked to sell 700 tons earlier this season. It would have been a chance to bring in some extra money, but we are so glad we chose not to.” Packing the silage as tight as possible and then sealing it tightly to keep the air and moisture out when it is first stored and keeping out the air and weather has been the key to their ability to hold over excess silage. “It takes a lot of people to make the farm operate smoothly,” Linda concluded, “from the vet who is here every other Tuesday to the hoof trimmer who is here every Monday and the support from Farm Credit. All of the help is critical to the success of the farm.”

A better dairy program It has been nearly three years since the combination of declining milk prices and escalating input costs devastated the dairy industry. Many producers were forced out of business while others just barely managed to survive. The dairy safety net did not work in 2009 and it won’t work if similar events occur now. Current dairy programs are not keeping pace with the challenges facing today’s industry. In fact, the current levels of support will actually decrease in September of next year. I recently put forward a discussion draft of proposed dairy reforms that I believe will offer better protection, create stability and inspire growth in the dairy sector. The dairy industry can be a very diverse and divided industry, and for the first time I have seen agreement that the current system is hurting American dairy producers. We can’t let this opportunity pass us by. Releasing a discussion draft, rather than legislation, gives the dairy industry the opportunity to weigh in and perhaps offer other suggestions. The reforms outlined in the discussion draft are not written in stone and there will certainly be changes before legislation is introduced. Working together I believe we can create a safety net that will provide the support all sectors of the industry need while also being mindful of the current budget situation. We all know that this country is facing a budget crisis. In today’s budget climate

it is simply not realistic to suggest dairy program changes that cost more money than current programs. Congress has repeatedly targeted agriculture as part of efforts to reduce the federal budget deficit. Dairy, like all agriculture programs, won’t be immune from future budget cutting pressures. The discussion draft’s reforms provide savings and put us on the right path. We need to act sooner, rather than later, with real solutions not just heated rhetoric. The symptoms leading up to the 2009 dairy crisis are again presenting themselves and I fear we could lose half our dairies if we have another collapse. That would be devastating not only to the entire dairy industry but also consumers in this fragile economy. With the continued uncertainty in Washington, this is our best chance to act. Releasing the discussion draft was a first step. I look forward to building consensus. I plan to introduce bipartisan, cost-effective legislation in the coming weeks. I’ve appreciated the feedback from the dairy industry thus far and am hopeful that producers and processors can come together in a constructive way in the best interest of our dairy <None>industry. We have the best dairy producers in the world. We need to ensure that they have the backing and the safety net they need so they can continue to provide for American consumers. Collin C. Peterson, D-MN, House Agriculture Committee Ranking Member

by Judy Van Put Throughout the summer, from June through September, Farmstock 2011 Working Farm Tours have drawn increasing interest from both local and seasonal residents, near and far. On Saturday, Aug. 13, the ninth of 12 Working Farm Tours was held at Rafters Farm, just outside Callicoon Center, NY. Rafters Farm owner Virginia Grant raises horses and free-range chickens; in addition, she provides a home for rescued animals. As we arrived, we were greeted by a neighbor at the end of the farm’s long shaded access road, and learned that horseback rides were being given. The sound of excited children’s voices wafted toward us, and shortly we met up with a youngster being given her very first ride on horseback. Several friends and family members were on hand to help Virginia with grooming and tacking up the horses, about four of which were providing the entertainment. Rafters Farm was established in 1991 by Virginia Grant. Having been reared in rural Australia, she was living in New York City since 1976, and had ever since been longing to get back to her ‘roots’ — the farm

country life she had enjoyed during her childhood. She saved her up her money and began the search for just the right farm, and finally found it on 28 acres of Dutch Hill, off a lightly-traveled secondary road outside of Callicoon Center, Sullivan County, NY. She completed building a house on the property in 1993, and began stocking the farm with many breeds and types of chickens, from which she gathers and sells the eggs. The chickens are free-range, and include a wide variety of colors, shapes and sizes — from the tiny, feisty Old English Bantams to the docile Wyandottes, the stately Cochin and exotic Araucanas, which lay beautifully colored eggs of blue and green. The chicken house is more like a luxury hotel — spacious and brightly lit, making use of fiberglass panels and large spans of wire that is covered with plastic during winter to keep the chilly winds and snow at bay. There are multiple henhouses and coops and cages within the large structure, but the chickens are free to range throughout the yard and lawn. There are colorful, neatly lettered signs posted in various areas of the chicken house, which provide

Callicoon Center neighbor Bob Schulman, MD of Physical Medicine, Rehabilitation and Medical Acupuncture, provided a very interesting talk on medicinal herbs, plants and natural remedies, using a collection of local plants and flowers for his demonstration. His audience was fascinated to learn how many plants they had considered as common weeds were put to good use and were important sources of healing.

helpful information to visitors wishing to learn more about chickens. There are also life-sized photos of a few of the chickens posted, such as “Rumpless Araucana” and “Silkie.” It was a special delight for the children in attendance to find an egg that had been laid that morning, as well as to peek in on the three tiny chicks that had just hatched the day before, and even get to feed the chickens by hand. The chickens are all very tame, and were willing to sample insects and bits of greens or grains that were offered to them by the children and adult visitors. Beyond the chicken house near the front lawn, neighboring youngsters manned the refreshment booth, which featured home baked cookies and lemonade, and offered freshly gathered boxes of eggs for sale. In front of the booth, Callicoon Center neighbor Bob Schulman, MD of Physical Medicine, Rehabilitation and Medical Acupuncture, provided a very interesting talk on medicinal herbs, plants and natural remedies, using a collection of local plants and flowers for his demonstration. His audience was fascinated to learn how many plants they had considered as common weeds were put to good use and were important sources of healing. Just down the hill from the house is the horse barn, which currently houses six horses and a mule, along with “Arlo”, a miniature Sicilian donkey, who was on hand to pose for photo-ops and was a big hit with the youngsters. Very much a part of Rafters Farm is the fact that it is home to rescue animals. In fact, shortly after the event began, a woman who lived down the road arrived with a cat in a cage, wondering if Virginia could take it in. Although there is no advertising being done, word gets around quickly that Rafters Farm welcomes animals needing a home. Not limited to dogs and cats, Virginia rescues other animals, such as Luna — a grey mare that had been in dreadful condition when she was brought to Virginia’s attention. Not only was she underfed, with her ribs

and hipbones protruding, but she was in foal at the advanced age of 20! The man who owned her was unable to take care of her, and with winter approaching, offered to give her up if someone would provide her with a good home. After consulting with a friend, it was decided to bring the starving, pregnant mare to Rafters Farm, where she was given ‘royal treatment,’ complete with good food and shelter and attention to her

medical needs. She began to fill out and thrive on the loving care she received, but there was no way of knowing just when she might foal, as she had been left to run at her former home with three mares and a stallion and had been ‘pasture bred.’ Enduring the long and difficult winter, she continued to grow, along with the foal she was carrying. On the first of June, Virginia left for work and returned that evening at 6:30

p.m., anxious to check on Luna — and to her delight, found a healthy chestnut filly standing alongside the mare — a happy ending to a sad beginning, one which has endeared Luna to all who know her story. The working farm tour at Rafters Farm has no doubt left a long-lasting and favorable impression on all who participated in the event — memories that will remain with them for the rest of their lives.

Friends and relatives of Virginia Grant provided horseback rides to delighted children at Rafters Farm, Callicoon Center, NY Farmstock event.

Crop Comments by Paris Reidhead Field Crops Consultant Emory corn Hurricane Irene has come and, well, one would be hard-pressed to say that she is really totally gone. As Irene was traveling up the coast, before she hit our area, I joked with my Mom about her sister getting a tropical storm named after her. (My Aunt Irene is 93 and lives in a retirement community in southern California.) Sue and I lost power at about 8:30 a.m. on Sunday, Aug. 28, and didn’t get it back until 2:30 p.m. the next day. Whenever we were able to contact the electric company’s recorded message, using our cell phones, there was never any estimated time of power restoration. Prior to typing last week’s column (the one with Labor Day’s date), I wrote a draft long-hand, not wanting to use the computer’s battery reserve of approximately two hours running time. When we lose power, we lose all land-line communication, including cable, phone, and Internet; basically we’re up the proverbial creek. The electric company’s “taped” message said that there were “approximately 1,129 customers without power.” Fortunately, friends and relatives living close to Cooperstown were not part of that 1,129 figure. So the plan was, when I got my column complete, for Sue and me to drive over to her sister’s with my laptop, and hook into her wireless service (or some such thing… Sue’s the expert in this stuff), then transmit the finished document to Palatine Bridge. Power was restored when my typed draft was nearing completion, so I e-mailed “Juggling Plates” to Gary in the normal fashion. As soon as power came back on, I called a customer in Greene County. She said they still lacked electricity, that they were borrowing a generator, for their house, from a friend who had two generators; their barn current was being provided by a PTO-operated generator. She said that they were much better off than nearby Windham. I asked what was

(Contact: renrock46@hotmail.com)

wrong with Windham. Understand that we had been news-less for a day and a half, due to what amounted to a fourpronged blackout. She said that cars had floated up on sidewalks in Windham (which is situated on a tributary of the Schoharie Creek). Television news backed up everything she told me. Then we learned that Prattsville was even worse than Windham. Prattsville is the town I called home during my last two years of high school and four years of undergraduate college. Some houses in that village actually floated downstream toward the Gilboa Reservoir. On a camcorded video, a childhood friend of mine showed damage to the Reformed Dutch Church, where I was once a member, and she has played the organ forever. Up to five inches of mud was on the pews and the floor. She believes that with major effort, and love, the church can be repaired. I wanted to visit my Greene county customers on Tuesday and help them with their organic paperwork, a responsibility we had postponed throughout August. One of the easiest jobs in agriculture is not doing organic paperwork, which seems to increase about 10 percent each year. Since a lot of roads and bridges in Greene and Schoharie Counties were out Tuesday morning, we rescheduled to Thursday, Sept. 1, when hopefully transportation would be somewhat back to normal. Thursday morning, I verified that New York State 990V was open, including the bridge which crosses the Schoharie Creek just downstream of the Gilboa Dam. I was told the bridge was one lane only. It was. And the water flowing beneath it was still very high and orange/brown. After crossing that bridge I passed the reservoir overlook, which had been a nice place to have a picnic. There a flashing light sign said “OVERLOOK CLOSED TILL 2013”. I continued up the hill past Gilboa

Central School, where I graduated in 1964. Between Conesville and Manorkill a new sluice was being installed to replace one that had been destroyed four days earlier. A road crew worker gave me detour directions with his Schoharie County map, routing me about seven miles out of my way… not bad. Some of the places I drove through gave new meaning to the concept “middle of nowhere”. But I got to my destination and we attacked the organic paperwork in earnest, using a lamp hooked to an extension cord that connected to

the borrowed generator. Another extension cord powered the refrigerator, freezer, and coffee-maker. Water was brought down from the barn, since their house well is 220 volts. After about three hours of tedious paperwork, the ceiling light and fan came back on, and the generator was no longer needed. Some flooded ground is damaged so badly that corn is flattened, and meadows look more like collapsed gravel banks than hay fields. Many of these fields can be rebuilt, and some can’t. For corn that is still standing (shall we say partially flooded?), and still growing, the question arises as to how to manage it. Fears have been raised regarding mold and bad bacteria. My own opinion is that if the corn is still growing,

it hasn’t drowned, despite the fact that dried mud may cover the stalk. New rains, one of which we are getting as I write, will wash away the clay particles to a large extent. If the rest of the growing season is normal (whatever that is), and the growing-degree-days come the way they’re supposed to, corn is quite a forgiving crop. We just got our electric bill for August. Average temperature for that month was 69 degrees F, exactly what it was last year, which was a pretty darn good growing season in most places. My forecast for first fall frost is around Oct. 10 (six months after the first serious thunderstorm in the spring… try to recall when your own area got its own first sparkingboomer). My advice is to be particularly diligent in

The Turf Mowers for Precise Cutting on Even or Uneven Terrain. Bush Hog TD Series Tri-Deck Finishing Mowers are the best choice for sod growers, golf courses, land owners, municipalities, and recreational area maintenance. Design features assure smooth, precise mowing on even or uneven areas. Wings flex from 30° up to 10° down during operation. Wing decks flex 10° side to side and front to rear, to shadow ground contours. And the high blade tip speeds produce finer mowing on all areas. A Category IV CV main driveline allows a shorter turning radius, and minimum horsepower requirements are 40 to 45, depending upon model. The TD Series Tri-Deck Finishing Mowers from Bush Hog are available in 15 or 17-foot mowing widths. Come in today and see why they’re your best choice in a product for clean, close cutting.

keeping knives sharp in harvesting equipment, particularly shear bars. When they get dull, due to residual clay particles… like those glued to emory cloth… the power requirement goes way up and things tend to break. Weird, creepy looking, black molds, called saprophytic, are probably not more likely to occur just because of Irene, nor are pink molds. 2011 will be a good year to use a lactic acid bacteria-forming silage inoculant. And it will be a particularly good idea to test silages for mycotoxins. Let’s take the 2011 harvest season one day at a time, and not wallow in fear and worry. Often those human weaknesses are more debilitating than the curve balls Mother Nature throws at us.

Going it alone in farming is tough. Fortunately for Kennedy, NY’s, Eric Vanstrom, he found a good team to help.

Vanstrom, who operates a small dairy farm in Chautauqua County, said he has benefited tremendously

from the support of a Dairy Profit Team, a program of Cornell Cooperative Extension operated with a grant from the Syracuse-based New York Farm Viability Institute. “Coming off of 2009, which was an extremely depressing milk year, I had high debt and was buying a lot of feed to make 45 pounds of milk per cow,” said Vanstrom, a 2006 Cornell graduate who started his own farm in late 2007. “I entered 2010 thinking I’d cash out at the end of the year.”

That is when Extension agents Ginny Carlberg and Lisa Kempisty convinced Vanstrom to participate in the Dairy Profit Team program. Through it, he developed a plan to better feed and house his herd, and he saw immediate improvements in the health of his cows. “My life went from a point where I was ready to be done farming to now I’m having a lot of fun,” Vanstrom said.

Dairy profit program helps keep dairy farms in business

Section A - Page 8 September 12, 2011 • Let Them Know You Read COUNTRY FOLKS •

Profit from A7 dairy teams have been making farming fun and profitable for dairymen throughout Chautauqua and parts of Cattaragus counties. “We’ve had 15 farms participate from the area,” she said. “They range in size anywhere from under 50 cows to 500 and maybe a little bit higher. …We’ve had over 77 meetings among those 15 teams. “No farms have started and stopped midway because they didn’t want to do it anymore. Most of them are continuing to meet on a regular basis, once every one to three months — usually every two months.” Those meetings allow farmers to share ideas with feed consultants, veterinarians, lenders and Extension personnel — all focusing on an individual farm to create a plan for better management. “That’s the real benefit: We’re all focusing on that one farm,” Carlberg said. “The farmer presents information about his farm at the beginning of each meeting — how much production, butter fat, etc., a general update on how the

farm has been going. “Then we have an agenda we stay with so the meeting stays focused. We try to keep the meetings to about an hour and a half. You go longer than that, and the meeting starts to wander. And we’re all pretty busy, including the farmer.” One of the first items on Vanstrom’s agenda: how to make better use of his feed. “I had my first meeting the beginning of April (of 2010) with Lisa, two Extension agents, my nutritionist, a crop consultant, my loan officer and a consultant from (New York) FarmNet,” Vanstrom said. “They just said, ‘OK, you’re having issues with feed getting wasted because you’re dumping it outside and the cows are laying in it. The first priority is put in a feed bunk’ to keep all the feed in a contained area.” “They told me to do that before the next meeting. Immediately that saved 20 percent of the feed that wasn’t getting wasted — right away.” The next big improvement the team recom-

mended was the installation of a fence to keep Vanstrom’s cows where they needed to be. Between the cement for the bunk and the fencing material, he spent about $1,000, Vanstrom said — not a lot of money, but a big return on the investment. Then Vanstrom was ready to take the next step: construction of a 40-by-100, 48-stall barn to house his herd. That meant more capital and some creative financing. “I said, ‘I don’t have any cash, but I need a barn before winter,’” Vanstrom recalled. “‘Will you let me do the barn by buying the lumber and cement on a credit

card, pay for the labor through cash and worry about paying the debt after it’s done?’ My loan officer knew what was going on. “Obviously, putting $10,000 on a credit card sounds crazy. (The loan officer) wasn’t a big fan of it. He was skeptical.” But since he was part of the team, he understood the need, Vanstrom said. And the investment immediately paid dividends by improving Vanstrom’s herd — as evidenced by the reduction in his milk’s somatic cell count, which is used to indicate the presence of mastitis, an inflammation of the mammary gland.

“We had 48 free stalls ready on December 31, New Year’s Eve,” Vanstrom said. “My somatic cell count that December had averaged over 500,000 (cells per milliliter). In January, they averaged 140,000. That’s a night and day difference.” Vanstrom has continued to see benefits of increased herd health throughout 2011. “Last year, my total milk production was 786,000 pounds of milk,” he said. “This year, I’m on pace to sell well over a million pounds. I’ve cut my cull rate in half. I sent three cows to beef this year. Last year at this time, I’d already sent 10.” CCE’s Carlberg said

Dairy Profit Teams like Vanstrom’s benefit from putting all of the interested parties in the same room so there is less chance the farmer will hear conflicting advice. The NYFVI grant helps make that increased communication possible. “I find that the consultants are eager to sit down with other consultants and the farmer and work as a team,” she said. “It’s not hard to get them there. Sometimes the vet is super busy and has trouble scheduling, but they see it as part of their service to the farm. “It does mean more work. That’s where the grant can help.”

ALBANY, NY — Residents who are unemployed as a direct result of the recent flooding and devastation caused by Hurricane Irene may be eligible for weekly benefit payments under the Disaster Unemployment Assistance (DUA) program, state and federal officials announced on Sept. 6. “The DUA program extends coverage to self-employed people, farm workers and others who have lost employment as a direct result of the disaster,” Andrew X. Feeney, state coordinating offi-

cer, said. “It is specifically designed to assist those who are otherwise ineligible for state unemployment benefits.” The availability of this program was initiated by President Obama’s Aug. 31 disaster declaration for parts of New York State and extends to those living or working in any of the 20 counties eligible for individual assistance. They are: Albany, Clinton, Delaware, Dutchess, Essex, Greene, Montgomery, Nassau, Orange, Otsego, Rensselaer, Rockland, Saratoga, Schenectady,

Parr, FEMA’s federal coordinating officer. “It will help them make ends meet until they can get back to work.” To apply for DUA, call the Telephone Claims Center (TCC) at 888-209-8124 or 877-358-5306 if you live out of state. Have your Social Security number, earnings from your most recent tax year and employment history available when you call. The deadline to apply for DUA is Oct. 3. You may be eligible to apply for DUA if:

• You were injured in the disaster and are unable to work, whether you are an employee or self-employed. • Your workplace was damaged or destroyed. • Your transportation to work is not available. • You cannot get to your job because you must travel through the affected area. • You were about to begin working, but could not because of the disaster. • You derived most of your income from areas affected by the hurricane and your business is down as a direct result of the disaster.

Information for farmers about tax issues related to weather (e.g. Hurricane Irene) losses The recent harsh weather from Hurricane/Tropical Storm Irene that has affected many parts of the Eastern United States has caused damage to roads, streams, buildings, piers, and agriculture. In many cases the damage to farms, rural businesses and private homes qualifies as a casualty loss due to the unexpected damage. The Internal Revenue Code has provisions that often allow individuals and businesses affected by such sudden events to apply beneficial tax rules to their circumstances when they meet the qualifications of these rules. A resource to help individuals and clients of professional tax preparers

relative to casualty losses and other income tax issues is available from the Web site RuralTax.org. On this Web site are fact sheets that explain how to apply the rules to businesses as well as personal casualties. These include an article on involuntary conversion and a related article on weather related sales of livestock. Cooperative Extension educators and professional tax preparers may be resources to access this information and provide income tax information relative to a potential casualty loss. Individuals are encouraged to contact their income tax professional to determine how these rules may apply to their specific circumstances.

Interactive farm fiction by Steve Suther The only difference between fiction and nonfiction is whether it really happened. Take projected profit, for example. A happy ending this year may seem likely or all but impossible, depending on how the year has unfolded and what is yet to come. A sub-genre in fiction is called “fan fiction.” Look it up online and you’ll see how the interactivity keeps story engines humming as mostly schoolage writers explore plot twists, hinges and consequences. Facebook has an interactive fiction game called “Farmville.” Truth may or may not be stranger than those fanciful exercises, but you do get to write most of your own chapters in life. Let’s look at the plot elements. Whether your fortune is looking up, down or in the middle, it is the result of two main factors: things you could not

control and those you could. Notice the word is could, rather than did. Looking back, few will argue with the big things placed on the “could not control” pile. Drought. Flood. Lightning. But what about markets? Mechanical breakdowns? Politics? There are some gray areas subject to your influence through risk management, proactive maintenance and even voting. Then there’s all the stuff that just happens, but with a do-over you could bend to better support a happy ending. Most of those are decisions. Things you shoulda-coulda-woulda done, or not. Timing of words and deeds. We often look at life one year at a time, especially in agriculture. There is an obvious annual cycle of planting and harvesting crops, and cattlemen try to manage cows to produce a calf each year. Many things take more than a year to play out,

or even move on to the next logical chapter. Some things are a life’s work, like building a cowherd that produces the most profitable calves every year and builds demand for beef. But still we look at the annual rhythms and break time down further into what needs to be done this week, today, before supper, so that our plans work out for the next week, month or year. Every day holds some possible hinges of history for our year, our profit projections, even our lives. Unfortunately, we

can’t always know the significance or perhaps irreversible nature of a decision when it’s made. And this isn’t a drill. Those with springborn calves are planning to wean now, if drought or discipline has not already set an early-weaning program into play. We don’t have to wait till the end of the year to judge whether weaning is successful, but the hinges are probably there several weeks prior to the big day and others will turn the pages toward or away from profit for six or seven weeks after. The basics are nutri-

tion, health, handling and communication. Therein lie a bunch of potential plot twists. Maintain those mineral feeders, introduce calves to a hay and grain ration and water from a tank or waterer. You can run through alternative story lines that skip some of those steps. If the calves had no shots in the spring, it will pay to vaccinate a few weeks before weaning and then booster on the day. A lot of nonfiction research can illustrate consequences. Plan your facilities and flow to minimize stress

and security. Discuss all plans with your crew, veterinarian, marketer and cattle feeder. This a rich area for plot and character development, but if communication breaks down, keep it clean. If you have not taken an active enough role in writing your story, now’s the time to jump in and save the day, or at least set up a cliff hanger with potential for a happy ending in the next episode.

Mike Wolfe and his company Antique Archeology are based in LeClaire, Iowa, where he and sidekick Frank Fritz “travel the back roads of America looking for rusty gold.” Holding down the fort is their delightful, tattooed muse Danielle, who deftly vectors them around the countryside via e-mail and sometimes joins in on a pick or two. Most of the scavenger hunts for American antiques and artifacts take place in the barns, basements and outbuildings of rural America. Mike and Frank use terms like “farm fresh,” referring to some of their finds that cover the gambit from visible (glass top) gasoline pumps to classic pinball machines. At the end of the day they prefer highquality, American-made items that have survived the decades in dark and dusty spaces. Wolfe accepted the RRI award during Iowa Farm Bureau’s annual meeting. “We’ve been on so many farms and acreages and

find a wealth of treasures to repurpose every day,” Wolfe said. “We’re proud of this great state, farmers like you and organizations that recognize the value entrepreneurs bring to our communities.” A commentator on National Public Radio recently speculated that this trend toward ruralbased reality shows may have its genesis in the tough economic times. It’s also interesting and entertaining when the pickers uncover a real piece of American history that is totally unexpected. This legitimate cultural shift in the landscape of cable, satellite and overthe-air broadcast television first surfaced in 1979 with the advent of the PBS series Antiques Road Show. The cable networks are currently churning out a backwoods barrage of some 20 shows with rural roots such as “Swamp People,” “Swamp Loggers” and “Ax Men.” Other chapters of rural American history are unraveled on “History Detectives” on PBS and Larry the Cable Guy’s “Only in America,” where our stand-up hero traverses the country rac-

ing soapbox derby cars or mushing dog sleds. There’s also aquaculture in the offing as “Swamp People” features the colorful Cajun alligator hunters of the Louisiana bayous. Their French/English-based language led to the producers running “English” subtitles for folks who are not familiar with this lilting lingo or have never heard of the feared swamp creature known as the Rugarue. And where else might you learn that Alexander Graham Bell invented the air boat that skims the swamp at souped-up speeds? It’s also fitting that the show-proclaimed “King of the Alligator Hunters,” Troy Landry, recorded a memorable promo for the series that features him sitting on a stump in the swamp looking straight into the camera and delivering the perfect line: “See ya later, alligator.” Erik Ness is a regular contributor to AFBF’s Focus on Agriculture commentary series. He is a media consultant and a retired staff member of the New Mexico Farm and Livestock Bureau.

NOFA-NY brings farmers to the pasture cow more than his 3 year old seedings of orchardgrass, ryegrass and clover. As the group looked for clues on the land for this increase in production, they found an active biological soil coupled with diverse perennial plant mixtures and learned about different grazing techniques, including out-wintering, over seeding, intensive grazing

Steven began the pasture walk by describing the goals of the farm: “To be economically viable, work as a family and leave the land better than they found it. For us, an organic grass-based dairy is the centerpiece to achieve this goal.” He showed fellow farmers his grazing monitoring chart and pointed out that his old permanent pastures gave him a consistent three pounds of milk per

In addition, Farm Bureau has received countless calls and e-mails from concerned citizens interested in helping farmers get back on their feet,” said Dean Norton, president of New York Farm Bureau. “We deeply appreciate the outpouring of support for the agricultural community, and we strongly urge the public to aid the effort, by contributing to these outstanding organizations. New York Farm Bureau will be contributing directly as well, with a monetary donation to New York FarmNet.”

Farm Credit East assists Northeast customers in Hurricane Irene recovery ENFIELD, CT — Farm Credit East expresses its sorrow and concern for all of those affected by Hurricane Irene. Farmers throughout major sections of the Northeast, including parts of New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts and New Hampshire, have experienced significant damage to crops, livestock, barns, roads and other structures. “Farm Credit East has followed the reports of damage from Hurricane Irene with great concern in recent days,” said Farm Credit East CEO Bill Lipinski. “We are saddened by the business losses and personal tragedy suffered by many of our customers. Our entire team stands ready to

NOFA-NY from A12 said Steven. The healthy and productive swards where complemented by a ‘gateless’ system of PVC poles lifting the wire for the cows to walk under into the lane, gravity flow watering to every paddock and a very successful homemade sticky cow to catch face flies. Steven also gave a tour of his milking parlor and bedded pack barn which is crucial to nutrient retention in the winter and overall herd health. He described his many strategies in using bedding materials, adjusting air flow with barn curtains and learning about the nuances of composting which he said, is a real art. The day was highlighted by fellowship surrounding a smorgasbord of local food made by the Peterboro Amish community, cheese and milk from Organic Valley Family of Farms topped off with a cornucopia of pie choices and ice-cream (of course) to benefit the Siloam Springs School. This pasture walk was supported by New York State Grazing Lands Conservation Initiative, Organic Valley and the Madison County Soil and Water Conservation District.

assist customers in any way we can.” Northeast farms contribute to a strong agricultural sector that provides wholesome, fresh products to consumers and essential economic activity throughout the rural communities of New England, New York, and New Jersey. Northeast agriculture is strong for many reasons, including the diversity of its farm operations,

along with its wide array of farm products. Northeast farm operations suffered from the damaging winds and treacherous rainfall of Hurricane Irene. There have been reports of flooded barns, destroyed greenhouses, washed out crop fields and drowned livestock. Roads critical to farm production were washed away. Many farms were without

electricity for extended periods, only further hindering production and marketing during the height of harvest season. This type of natural disaster will present great challenges to any producer. Farm Credit East is encouraging customers to update their relationship manager or Crop Growers agent on the current situation of their farm operation so

that they can assist in whatever manner is appropriate for the individual farm. Crop Growers customers can call their agent or our Customer Service Center at 800234-7012 to submit a notice of damage. Calls should be made as soon as possible when crop damage is indentified. Farm Credit East extends more than $4.3 billion in loans and has 19 local offices in its six-

state service area. In addition to loans and leases, the organization also offers a full range of agriculturally specific financial services for businesses related to farming, horticulture, forestry and commercial fishing. Farm Credit East is governed by a 17person board of directors from across the Northeast. For more information, go to FarmCreditEast.com.

The Agriculture Department announced the August Federal order Class III price at $21.67 per hundredweight (cwt.), up 28 cents from July, $6.49 above August 2010, $3.07 above California's 4b cheese milk price, and

The August Class IV price is $20.14, down 19 cents from July, but $4.53 above a year ago. California's August 4a price was $20.23. The four week NASSsurveyed cheese price averaged $2.1402 per pound, up 1.6 cents from July. Butter averaged $2.0695, up 3.9 cents, nonfat dry milk $1.5739, down 4.2 cents, and dry whey averaged 56.91 cents, up 2 cents. California's comparable 4b cheese milk price is

$18.60 per cwt., down 75 cents from July, and $4.21 above a year ago. The 4b price average for 2011 now stands at $16.50, up from $12.69 a year ago. The 4a butterpowder price is $20.23, up 16 cents from July, and $4.54 above a year ago. The 4a average stands at $19.24, up from $14.18 a year ago.

vere flooding and power outages from eastern New York to southern Maine. What an irony to name a hurricane "Irene," a name that means "peace." Vermont's governor said his state was facing "a full blown flooding catastrophe". Many roads were closed due to wash outs, downed trees and/or bridges being damaged or destroyed. Some communities in the Northeast were without power for over 96 hours. Milk pick-ups remain difficult and in some spots impossible so milk was being dumped. The full extent of the loss and damage has yet to be determined but manufacturing milk supplies were at near normal levels as the week began as many producers shipped prior to the storms arrival, USDA said. Meanwhile; milk production across the country continues to trend seasonally lower, according to USDA. Northeast weather patterns were conducive to steady production but the arrival of hurricane Irene was driving fluid sales up and down the Eastern Coast but the lack of electricity in many area homes and businesses was expected to slow those sales.

BENCHMARK MILK PRICE SETS NEW RECORD HIGH Issued Sept. 2, 2011 The farm benchmark milk price has hit the highest level ever, topping last month's record and highs set four years ago.

equates to about $1.86 per gallon. That put the 2011 average at $18.18, up from $13.80 at this time a year ago and $10.29 in 2009. The strong prices are being offset in part by strong feed prices, more on that ahead, but Class III futures portend a downturn from here. The September contract was trading late Friday morning at $19.05; October was at $18.90; November, $18.62; and December at $18.10.

Certified Angus Beef ® brand posts record June Although beef prices have been relatively high this spring and summer, many consumers and chefs are continuing to look for high-quality cuts. The Certified Angus Beef ® brand sold 70 million pounds in June, the highest volume month in the company’s 33-year history, 4.3 percent above the previous June and some 10 million pounds better than June 2009. This milestone, with three months to go, moves the company one step closer to a sixth consecutive fiscal year of sales gains. “The real reason for this record goes beyond sales to the dedication of our licensed partners,” says John Stika, company president. “They have committed to putting product in front of consumers even with highpriced beef, which further drives home the importance of quality in the

price/value relationship. With strong cattle prices at the same time, pullthrough demand is creating success at all levels.” The share of Angus-influenced cattle qualifying for the brand in June was 24.8 percent, nearly 4 percentage points

higher than summer 2009. Sales gains came from foodservice, which has experienced significant recovery the past 12 to 18 months despite higher cattle and beef prices. Retail continues to carry the bulk of brand sales, with sea-

by Todd M. Schmit, Ruth & William Morgan Assistant Professor in Applied Economics and Management, Cornell University Consumer interest in ‘local’ foods and other products has increased sharply in recent years, prompting substantial changes in food supply chains. Accessing markets can be particularly problematic for smaller -scale businesses that lack sufficient volumes of products to

feasibly attract and retain larger -scale and more-distant buyers. Economies of scale can often result with producers and agribusinesses working together to address these production and marketing barriers. However, existing infrastructure and logistical arrangements may not be appropriate or feasible for today’s emerging local and regional food systems. Challenges also

arise in determining the appropriate forms of business arrangements, governance structures, and marketing strategies to maximize the probability of success. What is the best way to move forward as a group of producers and/or marketers? What types of business alliances with related firms up and down the food supply chain should be prioritized?

These types of issues and questions will be addressed at this year’s Cornell Agribusiness Strategic Marketing Conference. We have assembled an outstanding field of agricultural producers and academic, industry, and government speakers to discuss and highlight innovative agricultural marketing models that have capitalized on the benefits of group action and

business alliances. On the second day of the conference, we have assembled a team of experts to discuss the ins and outs of new agricultural cooperative development. An evening dinner at the Culinary Institute of America promises to be the tastiest networking experience you’ll have all year! With a focus on smalland medium scale agricultural producers and

value-added food processors, the goal of the conference is to improve the understanding and application of innovative agricultural marketing practices to improve firm competitiveness. We strive to put forward a conference that attendees can walk away from and apply new skills and ideas to their own agribusinesses. Conference attendees also include agbased economic development specialists, extension educators, agriservice providers, and food distributors, wholesalers, and retailers. New this Year. To encourage additional attendance by agricultural producers, conference scholarships for farmers will be offered from program support available from the Ruth & Will Morgan Assistant Professorship in Applied Economics and Management fund. In addition, a training session for educators immediately follows the conference this year. Representatives from CCE of Jefferson County and the Farmers Market Federation will present a training session on a new training curriculum developed for farmers and producers on food safety issues in direct marketing venues. More information on both of these items is available on the conference Web site. This year’s conference will be held on Nov. 7 and 8 at the Henry A Wallace Visitor and Education Center at the FDR Presidential Library and Museum in Hyde Park, NY. The event is organized by the Agricultural Marketing and Management Program Work Team (PWT), with support provided by the Cornell Program on Agribusiness and Economic Development, the Charles H. Dyson School of Applied Economics and Management, and CCE of Dutchess County. All members of the agricultural and food system community are encouraged to attend. Detailed conference information, the agenda, and registration materials are available at the PWT Web site at http://marketingpwt.dy son.cornell.edu.

Mielke from A15 Southeast hot temperatures were impacting milk production and imports into Florida were increasing, according to USDA. Milk output in the Central U.S. has bounced back somewhat from declines during the extreme heat of a few weeks ago. California and the Southwest production was being impacted by hot temperatures but output in the Pacific Northwest was running well above year ago levels. Mild temperatures and increased cow numbers have added to the milk supply. Students are returning to the classroom in most areas, thus bottling pipelines are again filling. This activity will continue the next two to three weeks. At this time, manufacturing milk volumes decline greatly, thus cheese and other manufacturers of dairy products reduce production schedules until the bottling pipeline are filled/balanced and surplus milk volumes are once again available. The rally in cash cheese continued in the final week of August, mainly on the barrels. The blocks closed the first Friday in September at $1.79 per pound, unchanged on the week but 7 cents above a year ago, and narrowed the spread which may be what traders wanted to accomplish. The barrels closed at $1.76, up 3 3/4cents on the week, and 7 1/2-cents above a year ago. Four cars of block traded hands on the week and 18 of barrel. The NASS U.S. average block price fell 3.9 cents, to $2.0929, while the barrels averaged $2.0827, down 6.6 cents. eDairy economist Bill Brooks warned in Tuesday's DairyLine that the lower $1.70s in cheese is a real possibility near term. He said "The last two to two-and- a-half weeks we have seen a real flip in the supply/demand situation in cheese." Barrels were extremely tight, based on market activity through the summer months until the first part of August while blocks were plentiful and a lot of trading took place. That has switched, he said, as barrels are "more than adequate" and "looking for a home," which put pressure on prices and widened the spread. Blocks are not tight by any means and certainly not as tight as barrels were in June and July, he explained, but they're

tighter than the barrel market is. It's also the time of the year because demand slows for processed cheese due to less grilling and, "instead of holding up the blocks like they did in the early stages of July, could very well cause the whole complex to come down and pull the blocks down with it." He also pointed to the economic uncertainty in the U.S., warning that could further lessen demand and put more downward pressure on prices. Cash butter closed the week at $2.0050, down 8 3/4-cents, and 22 cents below a year ago. You'll recall it peaked last year at $2.2350, the week of September 27. Only three carloads were traded on the week and the latest NASS price averaged $2.0509, down 1.6 cents. NASS nonfat dry milk averaged $1.5698, up 1.6 cents, and dry whey averaged 57.94 cents, up 0.9 cent. Butter is available and in storage, according to Bill Brooks, but there's not enough of it to be a burden on those who own it and there's no push to sell it even though we are in a slack period for demand. He added that we're not making a whole lot of butter right now although with the cheese price declines the past few weeks, milk that was destined to the cheese vat may now get channeled into butter/powder facilities and that could result in higher inventory levels and pressure markets. There hasn't been a lot of trading in butter, he said, and not a lot of signals which way the market is going but as we get into September and approach October we'll likely see some promotions for

the Thanksgiving holiday and Christmas although he doesn't expect a lot with butter above $2. It might have to fall below $2 before retailers will want to do any real promotion, he concluded. Butter production in July totaled 135 million pounds, according to USDA's latest Dairy Products report, down 3.9 percent from June, but a whopping 21.6 percent above July 2010. Nonfat dry milk output, at 133 million pounds, was down 9 percent from June but up 1.4 percent from a year ago. American type cheese amounted to 352 million pounds, down 3.5 percent from June, and 4.3 percent below a year ago, the first decline in year-overyear output since March

2008, according to the CME's Daily Dairy Report (DDR). Italian type cheeses were off 4.6 percent from June and 0.4 percent below a year ago and total cheese production dropped to 859 million pounds, down 4 percent from June, and 2 percent below a year ago, according to USDA data. Turning to the demand side of things; the DDR reports that the cheese and butter sales growth rates slowed in the second quarter, though they remained above historical averages. Total cheese use was up 3.3 percent from a year ago and butter disappearance was up 7.2percent. But, nonfat dry milk and skim milk powder use was down 2.2 percent, according to

USDA. Dairy farm profitability appears good for U.S. dairy farmers and remained above historical averages in August, according to the DDR, but Dairy Profit Weekly editor Dave Natzke, warned in Friday's DairyLine that "things aren't quite so bright." He said that, despite the high milk prices, dairy farmers actually saw income margins tighten a little in August, squeezed by higher feed prices and other costs and pointed out that, when comparing the milk-feed price ratio for the entire summer, it's the lowest since spring and summer of 2009, when milk prices were hovering around $11-$12 cwt., or about half of what they are today. USDA's latest Ag Prices

report put the August AllMilk price at an estimated at $22.00 per cwt., up a dime from July, up $5.30 from August 2010, and a new high. Meanwhile, the cost of feed to get 100 pounds of milk was $11.64, up 23 cents from last month, according to the DDR. Corn averaged $6.62 per bushel, up 30 cents from July and $2.97 above August 2010. Soybeans averaged $12.90 per bushel, down 30 cents from July, but $2.80 above a year ago, and baled alfalfa averaged $191 per ton, up from $189 in July and $118 a year ago. That left "Income over feed costs" of $10.36 per cwt., according to the DDR, down

Mielke A19

13 cents from July, and compares to an average of $9.09 over the last 10 years. In politics; the Board of Directors of the National Dairy Producers Organization (NDPO), this week, announced a nationwide call for dairy producers to immediately decrease their milk production. Board member Bob Krucker, called on dairy producers whose milk goes into making Class III inventoried products to voluntarily reduce their milk output by five percent. Krucker referenced the existing cheese inventory which is over a billion pounds in a NDPO press release. "With cheese inventories rising and the

price of cheese plummeting clearly the supply of milk exceeds profitable demand." NDPO hopes producers will work together to regain market control, he said, and noted; "When dairy producers choose to be milk supply regulators they will become milk price regulators and will become profitable." But, not all dairy farmers are on board with supply management. Dairy Profit Weekly reports on John Pagel. Pagel's Ponderosa Dairy located near Kewaunee, Wisconsin which has established a "Risk Management - Not Supply Management" website. The website includes a link for like-minded dairy

farmers to sign a petition opposing supply management proposals. "After a very difficult few years, dairy farmers are finally catching a break," Pagel said. "Prices are up, the immediate outlook is good, and the conversation about dairy policy reform has begun in earnest. We applaud and thank the National Milk Producers Federation for starting the necessary dialog about dairy policy reform with their Foundation for the Future proposal." Pagel adds that, "While we support many elements of the proposed policy changes, the supply management portion gives us great concern for the future of the dairy indus-

try. We urge our fellow farmers and residents to call their congressional representatives http://stopsupplymana g e m e n t . c o staging.com/contactyour-legislator/ and tell them to vote this down before it hurts all of us. "In times of financial issues, dairy farmers need risk management, not supply management," Pagel said. The website also includes Frequently Asked Questions http://stopsupplymanagement.costaging.com/faq-talkingpoints/ concerning supply management, a link to notify your legislator http://stopsupplymanagement.co-staging.com/contact-your-legislator/ of your opposition to supply

line with the Class III (cheese) formula used in the Federal Orders that most U.S. dairies operate in." He blasted CDFA's decision charging that it falls short of what needs to be done; "Unfortunately, it appears that CDFA believes California dairy farmers will produce all the milk we need regardless of the price paid for that milk." He adds that "there are major issues to resolve in the California dairy industry, and we cannot expect our State's Department of Food and Agriculture to lead the charge in fixing those problems; not when they have time-after-time endorsed a low-price-leader strategy when it comes to the milk prices paid to our State's dairy families."

management, and the link to join the petition http://stopsupplymanagement.co-staging.com/support-us/ . Last week I reported on changes the California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA) will make in its 4a and 4b milk pricing formulas. The Milk Producers Council's Rob Vandenheuvel wrote in his newsletter that week that "While the market for dry whey products has had an ongoing impact on the California Class I minimum price formula, it has been an irrelevant factor in our Class 4b (cheese) formula since 2007." That will change, he said, due to CDFA's announced changes, but he adds that "While the new "sliding scale" dry whey factor will be an improvement over the current fixed factor of $.25 per cwt, it still falls woefully short of bringing California's Class 4b formula in

NCBA statement on Beef Products Inc., announcement to expand safety testing WASHINGTON, D.C. — J.O. “Bo” Reagan, National Cattlemen’s Beef Association (NCBA) Senior Vice President of Research, Education & Innovation, issued the following statement regarding the recent announcement from Beef Products Inc., (BPI) that the company will begin testing for an additional six strains of pathogenic E. coli, commonly referred to as non-O157 Shiga-toxin-producing E. coli (STEC). Reagan also serves as chairman of the

Beef Industry Food Safety Council (BIFSCo) as well as leader of the industry’s Blue Ribbon Task Force on beef safety. “As the oldest and largest national association representing the nation’s beef cattle industry, NCBA is committed to producing, delivering and serving safe, wholesome and nutritious beef for consumers in the United States and abroad. Through the Blue Ribbon Task Force and BIFSCo, NCBA

is committed to doing our part to ensure the safety of beef and beef products. We support research to determine critical virulence factors of nonO157 STECs associated with human illness and all collaborative food safety research to ensure we have the latest science and knowledge to guide our industry forward. “NCBA is not alone in its efforts because everyone plays a role in the safety of beef. BPI recently announced it is

taking it upon itself as a processor of lean beef to take additional steps to determine whether current interventions and safety process control measures are working against these non-O157 STECs. You can’t test your way to a safe product but you can test to ensure the process controls in place are working.

sort of commodity delivery as interstate commerce and subjecting the farmer to additional levels of regulation is an overly burdensome interpretation of statute. NFU asks that a more reasonable approach be found.” NFU also asked that individual states be given more leeway in determining the rules for what types of vehicles and transportation do and do not require CDLs. “This is a determination that may be best left to the states, of which many already have certain exemptions for agricultural transportation,” said Johnson. “Our members strongly encourage FMCSA to consider its guidance language regarding agricultural transportation to ensure that it allows farmers to continue to safely operate their farms without additional layers of regulatory oversight. Additional explanation and application of these rules should recognize the unique aspects of agricultural transportation and be reasonable and sensible for agricultural practices across the country.”

Home,, Family,, Friendss & You Home is where the heart is for healthy eating (NAPSA) — Heart-healthy eating at home can go a long way toward protecting your family from cardiovascular disease (CVD), the leading cause of death in the U.S. The problem can start early. Childhood obesity is growing at an alarming rate. Research proves that obese children are at higher risk of being overweight or obese as adults — and obesity is a risk factor for CVD — so the urgent link between healthy habits in childhood and prevention of CVD later in life is clear. “Scientific evidence shows that CVD risk factors can have cumulative effects over time,” said Suzanne Steinbaum, D.O., preventive cardiologist, Heart and Vascular Institute, Lenox Hill Hospital, New York. “This underscores the importance of developing healthy habits at an early age.” Statistics from a 2011 American Heart Association report in Circulation show that: • More than 67 percent of American adults and about 32 percent of U.S. children ages 2 to 19 are overweight or obese. • Caloric intake among U.S. adults increased by 22 percent in women and 10 percent in men in one generation, mainly due to larger portion sizes and

greater intake of starches, refined grains and sugars. • Only about 9 percent of American adults are meeting the ideal saturated fat intake level of 7 percent or less of total energy. To help combat these trends, Alison Lewis, cookbook author and mother, created a “Home Is Where the Heart Is” recipe collection that both parents and children can enjoy. The recipes include breakfast tacos, fish sticks, mini calzones, chicken pasta salad, quick dark chocolate brownies and this one:

Chow Line: Magnesium plays vital role in health

Q: I’ve started taking calcium supplements to be sure I get the 1,200 milligrams recommended. I know that the supplements should include vitamin D to help the body absorb calcium, but a friend suggests I also need to make sure I get enough magnesium. Is that right? How much is enough? A: Magnesium and calcium do indeed work together in very precise ratios to make sure your heart functions properly. Magnesium also plays other crucial roles in the body, helping to regulate blood sugar and blood pressure, maintaining normal nerve and muscle functions, and contributing to bone health. More than 200 enzymes in the body rely on magnesium, and the body’s cells use it to help produce energy. Although magnesium doesn’t help the body absorb calcium, it is important to be sure you’re getting enough of it to make sure the body has enough for all of those functions, including helping calcium do its job properly. If you need 1,200 milligrams of calcium a day, I’m guessing you’re 51 or older. The recommended amount of magnesium for those over 50 is 320 milligrams for women and 420 for men. When listed on the Nutrition Facts labels, magnesium is listed as a percentage based on a Daily Value of 400 milligrams (so, “10 percent” means the food contains 40 mil-

ligrams of magnesium). Though magnesium deficiency isn’t thought to be a problem in the typical American diet, there’s no good test to measure magnesium in the blood. People over 65 tend to absorb less magnesium from food, and deficiencies could also occur in people who have problems with diabetes, who drink a lot of alcohol, or who have Crohn’s disease or other conditions that affect absorption. Good sources of magnesium include: • Dark-green leafy vegetables — a half-cup of cooked spinach, for example, has 80 milligrams. • Seeds and nuts — 1 ounce of almonds or cashews contains 77 milligrams; 2 tablespoons of peanut butter contain 50 milligrams. • Some types of fish — 4 ounces of cooked flounder or sole contain 70 milligrams. • Beans — a half-cup cooked beans contains 65 milligrams. • Whole grains — 1 cup of wholegrain pasta contains 42 milligrams.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration authorized a qualified health claim for canola oil on its potential to reduce the risk of heart disease when used in place of saturated fat. “It can be a struggle to create healthy meals my kids will eat,” Lewis said. “I succeed by using healthy ingredients to recreate classic kids’ dishes that offer fun with every bite.” Her recipes and an interactive game promoting heart health are available at www.CanolaInfo.org and Facebook. com/CanolaInfo, respectively.

Simply eating a lighter lunch can prompt weight loss by Stephanie Salato and Susan S. Lang Losing weight without dieting, going hungry or using an expensive highprotein liquid diet can be as simple as eating a smaller lunch, reports a new Cornell study that is online and will be published in the journal Appetite in October. Most importantly, the researchers found that when volunteers ate a lighter lunch, they were no hungrier than usual and didn’t compensate by eating more later in the day or week to make up for the fewer calories eaten. David Levitsky, professor of nutritional sciences and of psychology at Cornell, and graduate student Carly Pacanowski set out to test their theory that one reason why high-protein liquid meal replacements are effective for weight loss is they consist of smaller portions and compensation does not occur at subsequent meals. They devised a five-week eating study, where the food intake of 17 paid volunteers was measured Mondays through Fridays. For the first week, all 17 ate whatever they wanted from a buffet. For the next two weeks, half the group selected their lunch by choosing one of six commercially available portion-controlled foods, such as Chef Boyardee Pasta or Campbell’s Soup at Hand, as a substitute for the buffet lunch, but they could eat as much as they wished at other meals or snacks. For the final two weeks, the other half of the volunteers chose a portion-controlled lunch. Over the 10 days of consuming a portion-controlled lunch, the participants consumed 250 fewer calories

per day than usual and lost, on average, 1.1 pounds (0.5 kilograms). “The results confirm that humans do not regulate energy intake with any precision,” said Levitsky, adding, “Over a year, such a regiment would result in losing at least 25 pounds.” “Roughly two-thirds of the American adult population are overweight or obese. On average, American adults gain weight at a rate of one pound per year, which can cause people with normal body weights to become overweight and overweight people to become obese,” said Pacanowski, a registered dietitian and a doctoral student in the field of nutritional sciences. “Making small reductions in energy intake to compensate for the increasing number of calories available in our food environment may help prevent further weight gain, and one way of doing this could be to consume portion-controlled lunches a few times a week,” said Pacanowski. The study suggests that both highprotein and high-fiber meal replacements result in weight loss not by suppressing appetite, but by providing fewer calories, and because humans do not possess accurate mechanisms to compensate for the smaller intake at a previous meal, they end up taking in fewer calories. “To stop the increase in obesity, we are going to have to learn to consume fewer calories and here is one simple, low-cost way to do it,” Levitsky concluded. The study was supported by the Division of Nutritional Sciences.

Amedore calls for 90 day grace period for flood victims Local leaders urged to waive late payment penalties for property tax bills ROTTERDAM, NY — On Sept. 7, Assemblyman George Amedore (R, C, I Rotterdam) urged local leaders and school districts in Schenectady and Montgomery Counties to establish a 90-day grace period for flood victims struggling to cope with massive property damage resulting from the recent storm. The proposal is similar to the federal government’s decision to delay federal income tax collections to Oct. 31 in order to ease further hardship on the many flood victims who have endured unimaginable losses. “Residents of Montgomery and Schenectady Counties were amongst the hardest hit New Yorkers. Many resi-

dents are struggling to deal with property loss and are trying to put the pieces of their lives back together. For many, payment of tax bills due in the coming weeks will be challenging if not impossible. I feel it is reasonable and responsible for local leaders to waive late penalties for flood victims by establishing a 90-day grace period,” said Amedore. Amedore noted that while the choice to apply this grace period rests on individual school districts and municipalities, he is urging local leaders to apply the grace period based on property owners who qualify for FEMA assistance; using this determination will ensure that the grace period is targeted to those who need it. The application for waiver would have

to come at the property owners request and with the proper documentation; this would ameliorate a situation where a property was inadvertently left out. Using this determination will ensure that the grace period is targeted to those that need it. In addition, Amedore is calling on Governor Cuomo and the Department of Taxation and Finance to extend the date for state income tax filings until Oct. 31, aligning with the federal ex-

tension for individuals or businesses located in a declared disaster area. Furthermore, the IRS is waiving the failure-to-deposit penalties for employment and excise tax deposits that were due on or after Aug. 26 and on or before Sept. 12 as long as deposits are made by Sept. 12. “These are common sense and practical steps the state can take to help our small businesses during this time,” said Amedore.

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 a crop insurance agent.

Statement from Dean Norton, President of New York Farm Bureau on Governor Cuomo’s announcement on Sept. 3 of a $15 million Agricultural and Community Recovery Fund to help farmers rebuild from Hurricane Irene: “Extraordinary disasters call for extraordinary response,” said Dean Norton, President of New

York Farm Bureau. “Our farmers are extremely grateful to Governor Cuomo and Commissioner Aubertine for the creation of a $15 million Agricultural and Community Recovery Fund to help us rebuild from this immense disaster. “Damage from Irene is catastrophic in some areas, wiping out not just our crops, but also soils, barns, outbuild-

ings, equipment and homes.” “This aid program is a reinvestment in the rural economy, helping put our farms back on the economic grid, preserving jobs. “Most of our farmers did not have insurance to cover such a rare weather disaster, leaving us with no other way to rebuild without an emergency aid package like we received today.”

Recent disasters show need for emergency readiness on farms UNIVERSITY PARK, PA — An earthquake centered in Virginia shakes the mid-Atlantic region. Hurricane Irene causes severe flooding and widespread power outages up and down the Eastern Seaboard. If these recent natural disasters aren’t enough to convince people that emergency preparedness is important, then perhaps nothing will. And being ready for disasters means special planning for agricultural producers, suggests a specialist in Penn State’s College of Agricultural Sciences. “If anything positive came out of the Virginia earthquake and Hurricane Irene, it’s that those events provided a ‘teachable moment’ that we hope can raise awareness about the need for readiness,” said David Filson, Penn State Extension state program leader for emergency readiness and rural health and safety. Filson noted these disasters came just before National Preparedness Month, an annual September observance led

by the Federal Emergency Management Agency. “We use Preparedness Month to encourage people — and particularly ag producers — to take stock of their homes and farm operations and prepare for the kinds of scenarios that many folks currently are dealing with in the eastern United States,” he said. Filson pointed out that events such as fires, floods, feed contamination and animal disease outbreaks can come without warning. But he said extension professionals from across the country have developed an educational tool to help farmers and ranchers prepare for such contingencies. Called “ReadyAG — Disaster and Defense Preparedness for Production Agriculture,” the program can help producers prepare to prevent, mitigate, respond to and recover from all types of damaging incidents. “ReadyAG is designed to help identify vulnerabilities and prioritize actions to make

agricultural operations more resilient and sustainable in the face of adversity,” Filson explained. ReadyAG begins with a general preparedness assessment, followed by commodity-specific sections including cattle, crops, dairy, fruit and vegetable, swine, and poultry. The assessments can be completed online and will automatically populate a customized action plan to

address items identified as vulnerabilities for which mitigation is a high priority. Farmers who access the ReadyAG workbook will be encouraged to take the following steps: • Identify vulnerable areas of production and management; • Prioritize areas to strengthen; • Create an action plan specific for an operation; • Develop an accurate inventory of assets

• Identify and engage local critical services; • Find additional helpful resource. The ReadyAG workbook can be found online a t http://readyag.psu.edu / The project was funded by a USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture Special Needs grant. Extension faculty and staff from Penn State, Cornell University, Oklahoma State

University, Rutgers University, University of Vermont, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and University of Maryland contributed to the development of the ReadyAG assessment.

CHAZY, NY — On Saturday, Sept. 17, 2-4 p.m., Miner Institute will host the premiere of a new video, Chazy: Images of a Rural Community A Century Apart in the gardens adjacent to the Heart’s Delight Farm Heritage Exhibit. The

video showcases images of various local landmarks around Chazy that were taken in the early 20th Century and transition to present-day photographs. Even 100 years ago, William Miner knew that cultural diversity could

flourish in rural communities as it does in cities. He strived to provide the residents of Chazy the opportunity for a quality education and artistic experiences that previously were reserved for metropolitan areas. This

project was an opportunity for Miner Institute to showcase the talents of local artists. We selected photographs from our archives that were taken around Chazy at the turn of the 20th Century by Mr. Miner’s

staff photographer blended beautifully with present-day photographs taken by local videographer Paul Frederick. The entire video is set to music performed by students from Chazy Central Rural School.

The project was made possible, in part, with public funds from the New York State Council on the Arts Decentralization Program, administered locally by the North Country Cultural Center for the Arts.

CCE Small-Scale Woodlot Management Workshop Set for Oct. 1 NORWICH, NY — Many woodlot owners want to be more active in gathering logs or firewood from their property. Often there are too few acres or too few trees to attract a commercial-scale operation. In other cases, the owner just wants to be more closely involved in the selection, felling and moving of wood. On Saturday, Oct. 1, join Dr. Peter Smallidge of Cornell University Coopera-

tive Extension for a small-scale woodlot and sugarbush management workshop. This workshop will focus on the skills needed to remain safe and accomplish the goals. This workshop is sponsored by Cornell Cooperative Extension of Chenango County and the local chapter of the New York Forest Owners Association. The workshop will emphasize three areas: safety, silviculture, and

technique. Participants will learn how to inspect equipment and tools, utilize safe practices, understand basic silvicultural principles, and make appropriate tree selection choices for multiple ownership objectives. Participants will learn how to create a felling plan, observe directional felling techniques and observe and discuss the use of an ATV and arch for moving sawlogs and

firewood. The course is designed for novice to intermediate woodland owners and anyone interested in learning about sustainable woodland practices. Participants should dress for the weather and be prepared for walking on moderately rough ground. Hard hats are encouraged. We will have some on hand. Registration is limited and receiving the $15 per person registration

fee will reserve your spot ($5 for NYFOA members). Please send a check to CCE Chenango, 99 N Broad St., Norwich, NY 13815 by Sept. 23. The workshop will last four hours starting at 9 a.m. in the town of New Berlin (Millbrook Rec Park). Registration signin will occur 30 minutes before the workshop. The workshop will take place regardless of the weather. Please bring a pencil and clipboard;

hard hats are encouraged but not required. Workshop location information will be sent to registrants. For additional information or to register, please contact CCE Chenango at 607-3345841 or chenango@cornell.edu.

A Few Words by Phoebe Hall

Hurricane Irene visited Our son in eastern Pennsylvania had an interesting weekend. Hurricane Irene came for a visit. Last report they had 10 inches of rain, with more expected. I’m not sure how much they finally received, as we haven’t talked to them since Saturday. Everything seemed to be working, meaning the sumppump was getting a work out. They haven’t used it much since moving in to the house 10 years ago. He had to uncover it because it was carpeted over, then discovered that the sump pump well was full of toys. After cleaning out the toys they fired it up and kept it running for the rest of the night, averting a flooded cellar. The wind blew all day here making the lawn look like someone was playing in the leaves everywhere. The leaves are scattered about and I’m thankful it’s just that, because it could have been much more. Tomorrow I’ll go out and check

for the damage. The hollyhocks are eight foot tall but some were blown over, then turned up towards the sun and are continuing to bloom only a foot off the ground. A few of the sunflowers were beaten down too. Some of the maple trees are light on seeds this year. Our grandkids call the maple seeds helicopters as they spin around, descending to the earth. I wonder how the trees knew it would be such a bad year and knew to take a year off. Speaking of helicopters, early this morning, we heard one flying over our area for over three hours. The story is, the Border Patrol was on the hunt for an illegal farm worker. With all those vehicles and officers involved, it must have cost a small fortune. The irony of it is that these people are willing to venture here and risk losing everything, just to work at jobs that no natives here are willing to do. By Labor Day, we should have approximate-

ly 2,500 growing degreedays, thank goodness. Some fourth cutting hay (badly needed) will be ready to chop shortly, if the weather holds out. Corn that was planted in early May and survived is ready to chop, but yields are down some. I guess that’s as good as it will get on a year like this. One crop that seems to have done very well this year is the soybeans. Everywhere I’ve traveled they look like a million bucks with their dark green cast flowing across the fields. We’ve been told that the reason they are prospering is that they were planted after the heavy spring rains. Again I looked throughout the earth and saw that the swiftest person does not always win the race, nor the strongest the battle, and that wise men are often poor, and skillful men are not necessarily famous; A man never knows when he is going to run into bad luck. If you wait for perfect conditions, you will never get anything done. God’s ways are as mysterious as the pathway of the wind, Keep on sowing your seed, for you never know which will grow — perhaps it all will. (Ecclesiastes 9: 11a & 12a, 11:4, 5a, & 6) TLB

ing the land and its responsibilities on to the next generation. Many small landowners want to preserve their family lands but don’t know how to involve family members in ownership and operation of their land. On the mornings of Sept. 17 and Oct. 22, Cornell University Cooperative Extension, in partnership with the Agricultural Stewardship Association, Rensselaer Land Trust, and Rensselaer Plateau Alliance, will present a two-part Succession Planning facilitated workshop. Succession Planning — the human side of Estate Planning — focuses on ways to maintain family ties to the land from generation to generation, building awareness of key challenges facing family businesses and motivating families to address those challenges. This workshop is a mix of DVD presentations, practical exercises, and expert panel discussions and Q&A sessions to help families develop techniques needed to address

tough issues. Topics covered will also be relevant to professionals working with landowner families. This 2-day workshop is supported by a DVD featuring presentations by Clint Bentz (CPA, Boldt Carlisle & Smith, and Chairman, American Tree Farm System) and Mark Green (Director, Austin Family Business Program at Oregon State University), with live classroom activities conducted by facilitator Dr. Shorna Broussard Allred. Day 1 will include an introduction by the workshop sponsors, an introduction to Succession Planning, and activities that will begin the Succession Planning process. Day 2 will get into the details of Succession and Estate Planning with activities and an expert panel discussion and Q&A session with a local certified public accountant, local tax attorney, John Lavelle, and a landowner incentive program manager. We encourage multiple family members and generations to attend. Each

family will receive a copy of the Ties to the Land workbook & companion DVD, which are designed to help families continue to improve and direct their communications at home. More information about succession planning is available on the Ties to the Land Web site, http://tiestotheland.org/ Workshop Fee and Registration: $40 per person, $10 per each additional family member. The fee includes refreshments and one copy per family of the workbook: Ties to the Land: Your Family Forest Heritage (additional copies will be available at the workshop or online at the Web site). Participants must attend both of the sessions. To register, please visit our Web site and click on the Workshops tab: http://successionplanning.ning.com/.

A View from Hickory Heights by Ann Swanson Images you cannot shake Where were you the morning of September 11, 2001? There are three indelible dates that bring vivid images to mind. One is Sept. 11, another is Nov. 22, 1963, and the last one is the Challenger explosion. These three dates in history had tremendous influence on all of us.

Television brought these events to life. They brought the horrific images into our homes. These images made each of these happenings intensely personal for all of us. It has been nearly 50 years since the assassination of President John Fitzgerald Kennedy, yet I can remember exactly where I was and what I

was doing. I was in the elementary school that I attended as a child, but I was a student teacher. An announcement came over the loudspeaker that the president had been shot. We were dismissed to go home. When the Challenger exploded I was once again in a classroom. This time I was the teacher. We were anxious for this lift-off since a fellow teacher had won a coveted spot to be on board. I was summoned into the hall where I was told of the explosion. It was up to me to make the announcement to the children. By the time the Twin Towers were hit I was retired. My husband and I were babysitting for the youngest grandchild at the time. He was playing with his farm toys when the first plane hit. When the second one hit its mark we all knew this was no accident. The United States was under siege. The day was a scary one with details replaying all day long. I feared a higher death toll

than eventually surfaced. It was nothing short of a miracle that as many workers made it out safely. Sept. 11 or 9/11 as it has become more commonly known is history to the group of youngsters passing through our schools at this point. Few of them were old enough to have vivid memories of their own. As the education system deals with the 10th anniversary celebration there are bound to be questions. Teachers may have to go back further yet in history to get the point across about the significance of this date. I have been to Ground Zero. There was little to see when I visited other than the chain link fence that kept people out of the area. I am disappointed that I did not know at the time about the little chapel known as St. Paul’s that became a gathering spot for survivors and family members. It would have been an interesting place to visit. Since the skyline of the area was an unfamil-

iar one to me at the time, the pictures I saw on the news filled my mind. I recall the plane striking the first tower and flames erupting high off the ground in the building. We knew some people would not make it to safety. I wondered what the school teachers were saying to their students. Of course, for the families that lost loved ones the event was a personal tragedy, but it was also a tragedy for the nation as a whole. We lost a sense of innocence. We had been struck on our own soil for the first time in more years than any of us could remember. The country as a whole was the victim of terrorism. The tone that was set was a strong one. We would not be forced to compromise our way of life. We would present a united front. The churches were packed. People sought spiritual guidance. Many prayed for those trapped

in the inferno as well as those risking their lives to save others. There was a spiritual renewal. What happened to that renewal? It has now been 10 years and we are going about our business. The reverence that followed 9/11 is long forgotten. Churches are struggling. Families are ignoring their faith. Professional sports are viewed every Sunday with hundreds of thousands in attendance. There is no time for faith. Even at the local level, the sports programs have taken over our Sundays. There is youth football and travel soccer. There is no day of rest. Most of the stores are open. People are out and about shopping, not after church, but when church is being held. As the tenth anniversary of 9/11 rolls around we need to remember how we all felt on that fateful day. We need to

remember the fear that was part of the day. My heart goes out to all of those who were personally and tragically touched that day. Ten

years cannot have erased the memory. For one group of families their grieving process is about to begin. The remains of loved ones held

in several caskets will be laid to rest the day after the official remembrance. They can finally move on. Our country needs to

unite more than ever today. Our economic woes dictate that we all work together for the good of the country. Remember

we are “one nation under God”; our forefathers did not make a mistake when they included those words in the

pledge of allegiance. Ann Swanson writes from her home in Russell, PA. Contact at hickoryheights1@verizon.net

Senator Seward tours storm stricken region Touts federal disaster declaration for Greene, Schoharie counties and urges those with damage to apply for FEMA assistance ONEONTA, NY — State Senator James L. Seward (R-C-I-Oneonta) on Aug. 29 joined Governor Andrew Cuomo, Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napoli-

tano and FEMA Administrator Craig Fugate for a tour of flood ravaged portions of upstate New York. “The devastation is utterly astonishing,” said Senator Seward. “My heart goes out to the families and individuals who are demonstrating such amazing courage and fortitude in

the face of this tragedy. “I also want to commend the first responders, National Guard members and local elected officials who have worked tirelessly around the clock to protect life and property before, during and after the storm.” Seward met with federal, state and local officials in Prattsville for an update on recovery efforts. He also applauded the federal disaster declaration issued for a number of upstate counties including Greene and Schoharie. “Families and businesses in communities devastated by Irene are determined to rebuild and the federal disaster declaration is a helpful step in the ongoing recovery. I encourage those who have suf-

fered damage to apply with FEMA as soon as possible to begin the assistance process,” added Seward. Those who have suffered damage are able to register with FEMA by calling 800-621FEMA (800-621-3362). Registration forms and additional information can be found online at www.disasterassistance.gov. Designations and types of assistance granted by the federal disaster declaration are as follows: • Individual Assistance (Assistance to individuals and households): Albany, Delaware, Dutchess, Essex, Greene, Schenectady, Schoharie, and Ulster Counties; • Public Assistance (Assistance for emer-
