Orange County farmers emergency flood meeting

by Judy Van Put With little time for advance notice, in an effort to provide timely assistance to farmers who suffered great losses in the aftermath of Hurricane Irene, Maire Ullrich, Acting Program Leader and her staff at Orange County’s Cornell Cooperative Extension pulled together a well-attended Emergency Farmer Meeting at the Emergency Service Center, Goshen, NY. On hand to talk about what programs and assistance might be available were a whole slate of officials, including federal, state and local agencies, with representatives from Federal Emergency Management Agency, U.S. Department of Agriculture FSA (Farm Services Agency), Soil & Water Conservation Districts, Crop Insurance Cornell Cooperative Extension, Farm Credit East, NY Center for Agricultural Medicine & Health (NYCAMH) NY FarmNet, NY FarmLink, Department of Ag and Markets, Department of Labor, Department of Social Services and several councilmen and women and legislative representatives.

In Orange County alone, it was estimated that the extent of the damage for agricultural production loss from Hurricane Irene is $40 to $45 million. That damage was severe for some, and completely wiped out others.

Dominick Green, Director of Emergency Management in Orange County spoke about individual assistance that was available to help tenants, renters on small businesses recover from disaster. His agency will help with finding residences for those who are displaced, and replacing residences if they are declared destroyed. In addition, if someone’s propane or oil tanks were carried away, FEMA will help replace them and clean up any oil spilled. However, he cautioned, FEMA only provides help for your personal vehicle, not any farm vehicles. Their assistance is limited to a farmer’s residence, clothing, fuel oil tank, driveway, personal vehicles, etc.

Historically, he said that FEMA has provided 12 1/2 percent in assistance as they have done in the past. However,

they are seeking to provide 25 percent coverage for this disaster.

He instructed farmers to let the village or town know if their road has been damaged so that those repairs can be made. Under public assistance, if a culvert was washed out or destroyed the Federal government can be requested to replace it with a larger culvert.

The number to call in order to register for FEMA assistance is 800-621-FEMA (3362). In addition, they can be reached online at FEMA.gov. Applications may be filled out online or on the telephone with an operator. The process takes about 5- 15 minutes, and if a home inspection is required, FEMA will contact the farmer. It was suggested that people should document their losses with photographs, and that they contact their insurance company to see whether they have national flood insurance.

A question was asked whether FEMA would change the rules so that farms may be covered in some way by having crops designated as inventory, and it was answered that this is being considered by the operations people but no word yet has gotten back.

Another farmer despaired that he has horses and cows floating down the Wallkill River, as well as 200 acres of sweet corn that was ruined, and who is going to help him? The FEMA representative deferred the livestock question to the U.S. Department of Agriculture representative, but mentioned NAP as being helpful for his corn crop. USDA’s Noninsured Crop Disaster Assistance Program (NAP) provides financial help to a farmer who has non-insurable crops when a low yield, loss of acreage or prevented planting occurs because of a natural disaster. Funding is already set aside by the federal government; however NAP insurance needs to have been applied for a year in advance. Farmers can check the USDA Web site, or stop into the local office in Middletown.

Next on the agenda was a discussion of USDA’s ELAP program — which provides emergency assistance to producers of livestock, honey bees, and farm-raised

Kevin Sumner, of the Orange County Soil and Water Conservation Office and Phil Giltner, of the U.S. Department of Ag and Markets addressed some of the issues facing farmers with losses due to the hurricane.

fish. It covers losses from disaster such as adverse weather or other conditions, such as blizzards and wildfires not adequately covered by any other disaster program.

The representative said that ELAP coverage was for livestock and feeds. “If you lost any animals in the disaster, feed, Ag bags, roof or silo bins, we have assistance. With feeds, the key distinction is, if it is feed you grew yourself you need RMA insurance or NAP insurance.

If you buy in all your feed that’s slightly different and we can address that.” For livestock losses, farmers are requested to report in as quickly as possible, within 60 days.

Another program pushing for funding from the government is the ECP, or Emergency Conservation Program. The representative stated “We (Orange County) have received ECP funding for leveling fields, cleaning out ditches,

Blaine Allen, from Farm Credit East, asked the crowd not to rule out loans, stating “There are things we can do to relieve stress.

We can do interest-only payments, or restructure loans. The terms and rates are favorable; don’t block out what’s available.”

certain other conservations practices.

New York State has already requested funding; we’re doing that ASAP. It takes an act of Congress to get that money appropriated to our county. We’ve put in the request, and hope that Congress is sensitive to our issues.”

Bob Merrill, of the Natural Resources Conservation Service asked those who suffered losses to “get in touch with me.” He said that the NRCS, upon reviewing letters describing damages, sends engineers to the area, where they create a damage report and enter a cooperative agreement with the town.

NRCS can be reached locally by calling 845-343-1873.

Many dairy farmers had to dump their milk after the hurricane; a representative of State Senator Kirsten Gillibrand’s office said she’s requested federal reimbursement for the market value of that milk.

Even so, some farmers were frustrated, and called the meeting a washout.

Jody Moraski, a horse farm owner, asked “What can I do today to get (assistance)? I’ve got horses stuck in a paddock to stay ahead of water. What can we do today? You’re meeting prematurely. I have a lot of work to do to because the water is coming in my barn.”

Another farmer said “We only have 15 days to apply for this. I know you’re doing what you can do, but for us on this side of the fence it’s completely different. We’re relying on our state to get us Ag assistance for the loss we have. We can’t wait the 15 days or we’re going deeper into a hole. We need the state to help us.”

Kevin Sumner, of the Orange County Soil and Water Conservation Office provided his contact number as 845-3431873. He mentioned state money coming to local districts to assist on the local disaster program.

by Elizabeth A. Tomlin “Look to the market at harvest,” advises Penn State Cooperative Extension Ag Marketing Educator John Berry. “It will suggest what post-harvest marketing methods are appropriate.”

Berry was speaking at a ‘Winning the Game’ Risk Management presentation at the Richfield Springs Tally-Ho restaurant, where he discussed options of grain marketing and presented several marketing methods for attendees using a power point presentation, workbooks, and a simulated marketing game using actual daily marketing prices.

Although some grain farmers may not initially be inclined to use a marketing plan, Berry pointed out that by writing down a basic, one-page plan you are able to formulate a proactive strategy to increase your profits.

Your plan will be affected by whether or not you have storage for your crop. If not, you are probably selling your crop off of the combine. This simplifies things, however, Berry points out, “At harvest, typically the price is the lowest.

As we go through the cooler seasons prices tend to rise until we get to May.” If you are fortunate enough to have storage space for your crops, you possibly store the entire crop until May, and then sell it all at once for the local cash price.

Not a bad idea, as 20 years worth of data shows that historically, the seasoned price patterns of grain top out during May and then prices either stagnate or drop off.

However, there is also the option of “selling the carry.”

“Step one is to calculate the carry cost,” Berry explains, noting that the carry cost is simply the difference be-

tween any two future delivery months.

Carrying charges speak directly to storable commodities and reflect price differences, suggesting potential storage return even when crops are not lockedin with a contract.

Is the carry strong, weak, or negative?

“When the market is inverted, we don’t sell to carry,” Berry states.

“Step two is to figure out the per bushel cost,” Berry says. To do this take into consideration the cash grain price, the interest rate, and the number of months the grain is being stored. “Be aware of the costs to store grains,” reminds Berry. Comparing the carry charge to the interest cost will help to decide whether to store the crop or sell off the combine. Generally a carrying charge of greater than 140 percent will be large enough to cover all costs of storage.

Armed with worksheets, calculators, and basic crop information, seminar attendees set about deciding what method they would choose to sell their crops. Choices included selling right off of the combine, storing with a set price, storing with no set price, or a combination of these.

On the worksheets decisions were made as to how much grain would be sold and how much would be stored.

Target dates were set concerning how many bushels would be sold during the winter and spring months, and exit strategies were chosen by a drop in crop prices or a late date with grain still stored.

“Know what price and time driven exit strategy works for you,” Berry said, adding that everyone has their own idea of what their individual expectations are.

William Vetter, dairy and grain farmer from Sharon Springs, calculates the ‘carry cost’ in a simulated marketing plan.

“Be realistic about price expectations.

What price is big enough and what price is too big?” Be flexible, yet disciplined when following your marketing plan.”

Perceived risk may play a big part in the decision making. “I’m risk adverse,” Berry admitted with a smile. “I like to sleep at night!”

Berry advocates dealing with local cash buyers but using the Chicago Board of Trade for reference to trends and driving prices. Berry also watches the market for weekly prices, which enables him to use a “viable strategy.”

“Many factors influence grain marketing,” says Berry. “Good decisions to-

day may be poor tomorrow. Bad decisions today may be good for tomorrow.”

Berry says his goal is to send attendees home “learning one thing about more efficient grain marketing.”

“Look to the next year for pre-harvest marketing opportunities for the next crop,” Berry advises.

Winning the Game grain marketing series was developed by the º of Minnesota Center for Farm Financial Management.

The series consists of two workshops, pre-harvest offered in late winter, and post-harvest offered in late summer. The programs are made possible through Cornell Cooperative Extension and New York Ag & Markets and funded by a competitive government grant.

Worden brings perspective as National Holstein President

by Steven E. Smith These are challenging times with the potential for exciting advancement.

From his position as National President of Holstein USA Chuck Worden of Cassville, NY cites opportunities that will require focus and commitment from the dairy sector in New York as well as on the national level.

U.S. dairy policy “Significant change to U.S. dairy policy has been considered ever since the precipitous fall of U.S. milk prices in 2009. Holstein Association USA has assisted with the development of the proposed Dairy Market Stabilization Act. “While this act has not been made into law, the current draft proposal known as the Foundations for the Future (FFTF) plan has elements of the Dairy Market Stabilization,” stated Worden.

The FFTF proposal has been promoted by the National Milk Producers Federation and Worden indicated that the Holstein Association USA has been influencing this policy development. Worden explained that until this proposal is in the form of a bill, the Holstein Association will continue to influence the most aggressively pursued plan that is in the current pipeline. “What was the Dairy Market Stabilization Act is now more of a shell compared to what it was as a stand alone program.”

That is among the reasons Worden believes that “as an industry we need to energize the base and make our voices heard relative to these proposed changed. Although the National Holstein Association exceeds 28,000 members

that has influence from the top down, it is important to have momentum from the grassroots up.”

“The Holstein Association has met with U.S. Representative Collin Peterson to lobby for changing the proposed trigger from $6 to $7 so that the program would provide a more responsive but less dramatic shift in milk price during changes in the milk supply/ milk demand market event. We have requested hearings to discuss and evaluate the federal milk marketing orders.”

From Worden’s vantage point, other concepts of other groups regarding price stabilization, price discovery and future production should be considered as well.

Opportunities While the dairy sector is addressing change, Worden is quick to speak of the industry’s future including advancements such as genomics in dairy cattle.

“It’s an exciting time for the Holstein Association right now. Genomics gives the industry a measure of the quality of genetics and allows breeders to determine the best new animals in the breed while they are young calves. Besides speeding up genetic progress, genomics provides so much more information to be obtained about cattle than ever before.” In order for this technology to continue to be advanced, Worden indicated that the industry needs to embrace verification through avenues such as DHI testing and animal classification. By testing and classifying, the association is measuring the phenotype. “This information is how genomic measures are

Chuck Worden is the National President of the Holstein Association USA. While the U.S. dairy industry is facing challenges due to rising production costs and the need for national and regional milk marketing policy changes, Worden also cites advancements which will allow the industry to be responsive in the future.

recalibrated. We need to do this to continue to improve the system. We need to collect this data efficiently and cost effectively to get more data. One of my goals is to see Holstein go forward, streamline the process so we can include more cows and more dairyman so that we are of service to all dairyman.”

New information Worden gave a recent example of how genomics is advancing opportunities for the dairy industry. “A previously unknown lethal recessive that can result from certain matings was present in three breeds until it was measured through genomics. A haplotype or groups of genetic markers within the DNA of cattle have been determined to cause the failed conception or early embryonic losses when a pregnancy inherits the same haplotype from both sire and dam. There are three haplotypes in Holsteins, one in Jerseys and one in Brown Swiss that have this effect on reproduction. While there will be no need to cull animals with the given haplotypes, genomics information can be used to avoid low probability conception matings of animals with the same haplotype. “This type of information which will help dairyman understand health trait data as well as other aspects of performance such as feed efficiency measures will become a great tool for purebred and commercial breeders alike.”

Advancement Worden conveyed that the cattle breeders should recognize that genomics increased the generation interval and doubled the net merit of the bulls in A.I. stud. “As we continue with the process, we will be advancing genetics very fast. With genomics, an A.I. sire

could have sons being born before sire is even two years of age. As a result, instead of evaluating first crop daughters when the sire is five years old, we could already be using grandsons. I can see this industry potentially collecting and slaughtering bulls in the future due to the technology of genomics.

Perspective Worden’s perspective on the path that lies ahead for dairy at the state and national level as leader of the Holstein breed association is backed by years of farming and agriculture organization involvement. Chuck and his wife Vanessa farm with their sons Wayne, Mark and Eric joined by their daughter Lindsay and daughter-in-law Kate in Cassville, NY. The Wordens who started farming in New York, moved to New Mexico in 1994 and developed a large dairy there. Worden’s interest and commitment to purebred cattle never waned and in 2004, they returned to New York to operate a smaller farm.

“One of the reasons we decided to return to New York was so that we could involve our children in the operation.”

Worden credit his family and especially his father for his involvement in purebred cattle. Chuck’s father was a registered breeder of both beef and dairy cattle. He served on the National board of the Shorthorn, showing all Americans which resulted in supreme champion shorthorn bull over all breeds when shorthorn was not among the premier beef breeds. “My message to the industry is the same as the one for my family, ‘Actively embrace change as it will be a constant for the rest of your life. If you aren’t involved in how things are changed, it will be someone else decisions affecting you.’”

by Stephen Wagner If Pennsylvania Agriculture Secretary George Greig should ever take a notion to run for President of the United States, he has several points in his favor. First of all, he is a farmer. So were Washington, Adams, Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, Polk, Truman and Carter.

Second, he has a hard work ethic.

Third, he has been politically active for much of his life. And last, he looks presidential, almost embodying the visages of the great past presidents with silver hair and presidential smiles. Greig is a double-edged sword. With his strong looks and purposeful intent, he is also soft-spoken and able to see both sides of an equation. He needs no coffee to jolt his start to the day.

Along with his brother, Greig started a farming business with a dairy operation purchased from their parents. That was in 1976. “We were in a buying and building mode,” he remembers. “That was when interest rates hovered at around 11 percent. We grew and expanded, buying three or four farms, different farms. We started milking three times a day before anyone else thought about doing it, almost on a whim. We were just young and ambitious.”

When I asked Greig how Governor Corbett found him, he said they had worked together before. Both are from western Pennsylvania. And “I was on the Farm Service Agency state committee for eight years, a Bush appointee.

We administered all the federal farm

by Jay Girvin, Esq., Girvin & Ferlazzo. P.C., Albany, NY, September 2011 Q. My farm sustained significant flood damage as a result of Hurricane Irene and Tropical Storm Lee. What disaster assistance programs are available through the USDA Farm Service Agency?

A. The heavy rainfall associated with Hurricane Irene and Tropical Storm Lee resulted in unprecedented flood damage to homes, businesses, and farms across the eastern portion of New York State, particularly for properties located near rivers, creeks, and other bodies of water.

Flood damage to farming operations was particularly widespread, resulting in the destruction or contamination of crops and feed, losses to livestock, and damage to equipment and structures.

While this column generally addresses questions of a legal nature, we thought it appropriate under the circumstances to highlight some of the federal relief programs available to help New York farmers recover

programs in the state of Pennsylvania.

I’ve always been politically active in my home county [Crawford]. I’ve been on the State Board of the Pennsylvania Farm Bureau, as well as the Executive Board for six years.”

While at the Farm Bureau, Greig worked with then Attorney General Tom Corbett on the new ACRE law.

While Vice Chairman of the Crawford County Republican party he worked hard on behalf of other candidates. “The Governor wanted a production agriculture person. We had 300 acres of soybeans and 125 acres of hay this year.

We sold the cows in 2006 after milking them since 1976.”

Now that he has been Ag Secretary for two-thirds of a year, either as the nominee or confirmed, what has been his top priority? “I had said that I wanted to work on marketing, and we have made some strides in exporting dairy cattle to Turkey. We helped a fellow in Butler County export some hides to Poland.

One of the first things I did was to write letters to some companies in China.

They came in and bought some Pennsylvania hardwood. And we have two South Korean companies that are hooking up with Pennsylvania companies to purchase United States beef.”

But why exports rather than the Chesapeake Bay, as two of his predecessors touted? “With Governor Corbett’s position of no new taxes,” Greig said, “the only way you can raise state income is by increasing business. It’s

from the damage and financial losses resulting from Hurricane Irene and Tropical Storm Lee. The USDA Farm Service Agency (FSA) offers a number of disaster assistance programs to help farmers recover from production and physical losses suffered as a result of natural disasters, including flooding. Access to these programs generally requires that the property be located in an area that has been designated as a federal disaster area. As of Sept. 11, 2011, the following counties in New York State have been designated as federal disaster areas: Albany, Bronx, Clinton, Columbia, Delaware, Dutchess, Essex, Greene, Kings, Montgomery, Nassau, Orange, Otsego, Putnam, Queens, Rensselaer, Richmond, Rockland, Saratoga, Schenectady, Schoharie, Suffolk, Sullivan, Ulster, Warren, Washington, and Westchester.

The FSA offers an Emergency Conservation Program (ECP) that provides funding for farmers to rehabilitate farmland damaged by floods or other

natural disasters. For land to be eligible, the natural disaster must create new conservation problems, which, if not treated, would: impair or endanger the land; materially affect the productive capacity of the land; represent unusual damage that, except for wind erosion, is not the type likely to recur frequently in the same area; and be so costly to repair that federal assistance is or will be required to return the land to productive agricultural use. ECP is administered by state and county FSA committees.

The FSA also administers the Supplemental Revenue Assistance Payments (SURE) program, which authorizes the Secretary of Agriculture to provide agricultural disaster assistance to producers who suffered qualifying crop production losses, crop quality losses, or both due to disaster(s), adverse weather, or other environmental conditions. The SURE program is intended to help mitigate the threats of lower-than-expected yields and prices by providing a revenue guarantee (SURE guarantee) for producers’ total farming interest.

The Noninsured Crop Disaster Assistance Program (NAP) is available through the FSA to pro-

vide financial assistance to eligible producers affected by floods or other natural disasters, and covers non-insurable crop losses and planting prevented by disasters.

Eligible crops generally include commercial crops and other agricultural commodities produced for food, including livestock feed or fiber, for which the catastrophic level of crop insurance is unavailable.

FSA also offers the Emergency Assistance for Livestock Program (ELAP), which provides emergency assistance to eligible producers of livestock, honeybees, and farm-raised fish that have feed losses due to adverse weather that result in disaster declaration. Similarly, the Livestock Indemnity Program (LIP) offers benefits to livestock producers for livestock deaths in excess of normal mortality caused by adverse weather, including flooding.

The FSA also provides emergency loans to help producers recover from production and physical losses due to natural disasters. Emergency loan funds may be used to restore or replace essential property, pay all or a part of production costs associated with the disaster year, pay essential family living expenses, reorgan-

farmers will, of course, go out. There are some 70 year old farmers who are still milking cows, and suddenly they now have a retirement plan. I think Marcellus Shale will be a good thing for farmers and landowners across the state where there is Marcellus.”

Crop Insurance is another farming tool that farmers have not taken advantage of in the hoped for numbers. Critics put forth the argument that many farmers don’t understand crop insurance, that it isn’t being explained well enough if at all, the onus of which seems to be on the shoulders of agents who sell it. “Farmers have always been independent people as well as optimists,” notes Greig. “In the spring it’s hard to have the outlook that you’re going to fail. Crop insurance is a tool that if you’re in an area where you’ve had crop losses in the past, you really need to think about it. It seems like we have more and more disasters, more and more events — weather events, droughts, we had an earthquake this year — if you feel you can’t afford to have a loss, then you better have crop insurance.”

Does Greig have a working philosophy for his farming success that he’s willing to share? Yes! “Always work hard. Keep an open mind. Don’t try to keep up with your neighbor; don’t go into debt trying to keep up. Do what’s best for your own situation.”

Finally, does Secretary Greig find it exponentially easier to deal with his constituency, the media, and people at public events?

“It gets easier every time you do it.”

ize the farming operation, and refinance certain debts. Emergency loans are subject to certain eligibility requirements, including that the applicant has suffered a least a 30 percent loss in crop production or a physical loss to livestock, livestock products, or property, has collateral to secure the loan, and has repayment ability. Eligible producers can borrow an amount up to 100 percent of their losses, up to a maximum of $500,000, and loan repayment periods can range from one year to 40 years, depending on the type of loan and other factors. Loans currently carry an annu-

al interest rate of 3.75 percent. Applications for emergency loans must be submitted within eight months of the federal disaster declaration issued for the county where the property is located.

All of these programs are subject to specific eligibility and qualification requirements.Farmers interested in learning more about the availability of these programs to help address flood-related damage and losses should contact their local FSA office. Additional information regarding these programs is also available at the USDA FSA Web site at www.fsa.usda.gov.

Don’t move firewood When clearing storm debris from your neighborhood, take care to comply with any federal, state or local restrictions on the movement of wood materials. If you live in a quarantined zone, make sure to use a licensed contractor with a compliance agreement. If you don’t live in an area under quarantine, be on the

safe side and dispose of downed branches, trees, or resulting firewood at the nearest available facility.

Remember, moving storm debris could accidentally spread invasive tree killing insects and create new infestations.

Keep trees safe by complying with your state or local disposal regulations.

very important for the economy, the state, and the nation. We export our products. Over 90 percent of the mouths to feed are outside of Pennsylvania and outside of the US. It’s a very important market we can’t ignore.”

Dairy policy is Greig’s second priority.

“Internally,” he explained, “we have a Dairy Policy Committee that has been working on setting up policy for the 2012 Farm Bill. Dairy is the number 1 component of the number 1 industry in Pennsylvania. We want to make sure that we get that right.” Transportation is Greig’s third issue. A lot of transportation issues need to be addressed.

A former Ag Secretary, in discussing farmland in Pennsylvania, said “The good news is that we saved 300 acres this week. The bad news is we lost 600 acres.”

Country Folks had two questions for the current Secretary. With economic, political, and real estate pressures affecting today’s farmers, what does this say about Farmland Preservation? Another factor is Marcellus Shale money.

Is the Marcellus a positive or a negative factor?

Greig was reassuring. “We are the number one state in Farmland Preservation. Within the past two weeks, we signed up another six or seven farms.

Under the Corbett administration we hope to go over 500,000 acres.”

And Marcellus Shale: “I’ve talked to some farmers who already have [gas] wells on their farms. Some of them are building new barns and expanding; bringing in families who couldn’t afford to farm before. So I think it’s six of one and half a dozen of the other. Some

by Paris Reidhead Field Crops Consultant Bacterial boomerang According to studies recently published by the University of Maryland’s (U. of M.) School of Public Health, poultry farms that have adopted organic practices and ceased using antibiotics have significantly lower levels of drug-resistant enterococci bacteria that can potentially spread to humans. The study, published in Environmental Health Perspectives (online Aug. 10, 2011), is the first to demonstrate lower levels of drug-resistant bacteria on newly organic farms in the United States and suggests that removing antibiotic use from large-scale U.S. poultry farms can result in immediate and significant reductions in antibiotic resistance for some bacteria.

“We initially thought we would see some differences in on-farm levels of antibiotic-resistant enterococci when poultry farms transitioned to organic practices. But we were surprised to see that the differences were so significant across several different classes of antibiotics even in the very first flock of birds that was produced after the transition to organic standards,” explained Amy R. Sapkota, assistant professor at U. of M. “It is very encouraging.”

(Enterococci are bacteria originating in gastro-intestines.)

Sapkota and her multi-university team investigated the impact of removing antibiotics from U.S. poultry farms by studying 10 conventional and 10 newly organic large-scale poultry houses in the mid-Atlantic region. They tested for the presence of enterococci bacteria in poultry litter, feed, and water, and tested its resistance to 17 common antibiotics.

Quoting Sapotka, “We chose to study enterococci because these microorganisms are found in all poultry, including poultry on both organic and conventional farms.

The enterococci also cause infections in human patients staying in hospitals. In addition, many of the antibiotics given in feed to farm animals are used to fight Gram-positive bacteria

(Contact: renrock46@hotmail.com)

such as enterococci.

These features, along with their reputation of easily exchanging resistance genes with other bacteria, make enterococci a good model for studying the impact of changes in antibiotic use on farms”.

Not recalling the meaning of Gram-positive, I looked it up on Wikipedia’s online encyclopedia. There I found that Gram-positive bacteria are those that are stained dark blue or violet by Gram staining. I believe Gram was a wellknown PhD researcher.

The Gram-positive trait makes the mcrobe in question much easier to examine under the microscope. The rest of Wikipedia’s definition

gets really complicated for someone who never took microbiology and only got a C in college biochemistry. While all farms tested positive for the presence of enterococci in poultry litter, feed, and water as expected, the newly organic farms were characterized by a significantly lower prevalence of antibioticresistant enterococci. For example, 67 percent of Enterococcus faecalis recovered from conventional poultry farms were resistant to erythromycin, while 18 percent of Enterococcus faecalis from newly organic poultry farms were resistant to this antibiotic.

Dramatic changes were also observed in the levels of multi-drug re-

sistant bacteria (organisms resistant to three or more antimicrobial classes) on the newly organic farms. Multi-drug resistant bacteria are of particular public health concern because they can be resistant to all available antibiotics, and are, therefore, very difficult to treat if contracted by an animal or human.

Forty-two percent of Enterococcus faecalis from conventional farms were multi-drug resistant, compared to only 10 percent from newly organic farms, and 84 percent of Enterococcus faecium from conventional farms were multi-drug resistant compared to 17 percent of those from newly organic farms.

“While we know that the dynamics of antibiotic resistance differ by bacterium and antibiotic, these findings show that, at least in the case of enterococci, we begin to reverse resistance on farms even among the

first group of animals that are grown without antibiotics”, said Sapkota. She said she expects that reductions in drugresistant bacteria on U.S. farms that “go organic” are likely to be more dramatic over time as reservoirs of resistant bacteria in the farm environment diminish.

These antibiotic-resistant bacteria concerns were mostly theoretical to me until late last summer, when I was hospitalized for three days.

Then these concerns became more emotional in mid-March of this year, when I spent another six days in the hospital.

While in recovery I thought about MRSA (methicillin-r esistant Staphyllococcus aureus), which is the most common drug-resistant pathogen hitting medical facilities in the U.S. The U. of M. research actually parallels excellent broadcast journalism anchored Feb. 9 and

10, 2010, by CBS’ Katy Couric. In those CBS Evening News reports, Couric shared a concern of public health officials that widespread use of antibiotics on healthy farm animals may be putting people at risk.

The microbial menace (my term) that Couric addressed was, in fact, MRSA, which plagues both the poultry and hog industries. In 2009, a University of Iowa study found a new strain of MRSA — in 70 percent of hogs, as well as 64 percent of hog farm workers — on several farms in Iowa and western Illinois. All those farms used antibiotics routinely. The same study found zero MRSA on antibioticfree poultry and hog operations; these latter weren’t organic… they were just antibiotic-free.

With American farmers’ excessive use of growth-promoting antibiotics in livestock,

“U.S. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack’s decision to take action that will pay dairy farmers for milk they were forced to dump or which spoiled due to Hurricane Irene is welcome news for New York farmers,” said New York Agriculture Commissioner Darrel J. Aubertine. “The damage from the storm made it impossible for some farmers to have their milk picked up. In other cases power outages caused the milk to spoil. The Secretary’s decision to include this milk as part of the Federal milk mar-

keting order pool for August and September means these farmers will not lose their income on this milk. I commend the Secretary’s action.”

Katy Couric reported on a possible alternative in Denmark, where preventive antibiotic use in livestock is banned. That country’s 17,000 farmers pridefully call it the “Danish Experiment”.

Unlike industrial farms in the U.S., Danish farmers use antibiotics sparingly, only when animals are sick. This experiment to stop widespread use of antibiotics was launched in 1998.

At that time, European studies had proven there was a link between animals consuming antibiotics every day and people developing antibioticresistant infections from handling or eating that meat. Since the ban took effect, the incidence of these infections has plummeted significantly.

One group of researchers in the Danish project has shown that if antibiotics are no longer used in a given livestock environment, that location will be free of drug-resistant bacteria within three years.

In response to this and other related research, the Food and Drug Administration has gotten

Congress to introduce and pass legislation banning some types of antibiotics used to treat humans from being given to healthy farm animals. In Europe (beyond Denmark) this issue has caused organic certifiers to prohibit the use of conventional farm manure on organic farms.

This is because, in their minds, there is no doubt that liquid manure, anaerobically managed, is a hotbed of microbial danger. This sentiment has “jumped the big pond” to convince our (USDA) National Organic Program to prohibit the use of conventional farm manure as a crop input on organic farms.

The Moo News Newsletter of Penn Dutch Cow Care

by Hubert J. Karreman Hi Folks, This month is back to basics and discussion of parasites in calves as I like to do this time of year. I really think that parasitism, whether internal (stomach worms and coccidia) and external (flies and mange) are truly a weak link in the chain of organic livestock health and growth.

I say this coming from being in the trenches for many years now. I see crummy looking calves out on pasture at this time of year — “natural raised”, certified organic or conventional.

It must be remembered that if pasturing animals in the same areas year after year, there will be parasites waiting for each group as they arrive. Pastures look really nice early on but those stomach worm larva are invisible to our eye and are out there rapidly multiplying and loading the animals that are out there eating the forages. That’s because the stomach worm larva crawl to the tips of the grass blades to be taken in again by the animal to start their life cycle all over again (to feed and reproduce themselves within the animal’s digestive system).

This is why I am in favor of clipping pastures or at least dragging pastures with a set of chains: it smears out the manure paddy and those larva will dry out in the sun and wind and not live to climb up the grass blades to be eaten and taken in again.

But here we are in September and the best pasture season is already behind. And during this particular pasture season it seems like

flies have been merciless as well.

What do your calves on pasture look like right now? Are they sleek and in good body condition just like when you weaned them or set them out to pasture? Or do they look a bit more ragged now — perhaps a bit pot-bellied, their hair being dry looking and reddish black (not shiny black as it should be), with thin back leg muscles and some dried diarrhea up high on their legs and tail? If so, these are classic signs of internal stomach worm infestation.

It would be wise to catch a few up and look in their eye sockets to see how pink or pale white the sockets are. In sheep and goats, it is common to use the FAMACHA test which basically looks at their eye sockets and, depending on how white (indicating anemia), this will indicate when to treat them with a conventional wormer. While the FAMACHA test is technically not valid for calves, looking at their eye sockets will still reveal the degree of blood loss as well. Calves just hide it until later in the disease.

In organic agriculture, with the requirement of animals 6 months and older to get a minimum of 30 percent dry matter from pasture over the grazing season, it is only a matter of time before the young stock, which are not immunologically mature against stomach worms, will become infested if pasture management is not top notch. A big part of it all is proper feeding to ensure excellent energy intake while on pasture. This can be from high energy forages or giving some grain. The immune system depends

heavily on proper daily energy intake. It should be noted that adult animals do NOT need to be wormed as they can live in balance with a stomach worm challenge in their environment — unfortunately young stock can’t because they haven’t experienced worms previously. Note: lung worms can, and do, infect adult cattle especially in wet years.

I think a good goal is to raise calves that do have some challenge with stomach worm larva in the pasture, yet are managed and fed well enough that instead of becoming infested, they instead build immunity due to a low level exposure. This is a kind of a natural vaccine effect.

Unfortunately not many farms seem to be able to achieve this. The result is somewhat stunted calves that likely will freshen a month or two later since they won’t reach breeding size as quickly. However, calves that do make it through this tough period of life — usually between 4-11 months of age — start looking really nice again by a year old and go on to do fine. Even if they did look crummy due to a significant stomach worm infestation, they will now be really strong against pasture stomach worm challenges the rest of their lives.

So how do we treat internal parasite infestations on certified organic farms? Well, as of this writing, only ivermectin is allowed to be used — and only for an emergency need when methods acceptable to organic have not succeeded in restoring an animal to health. However, earlier this summer, the USDA

Farm Family is proud to recognize Eric J. DeSimone, CLU for outstanding achievement in 2010.

released an official statement that fenbendazole and moxidectin, on recommendation from the NOSB, will soon be allowed (still only for emergency situations, with a 90 day milk withhold).

Typically in the past I have recommended ivermectin as a single treatment — essentially to reset the individual animals which are infested

— and then get the management in place to keep things in prevention mode rather than reaction (treatment) mode.

Fortunately, there are many plant based medicines being used around the world against internal parasites. In the chapter I wrote called “Phytotherapy for Dairy Cows” in the book Veterinary Herbal Medicine (by

Wynn and Fougere, Mosby, 2007), I reported on a study that showed birdsfoot trefoil or chickory interplanted into pasture decreased stomach worm larva burden significantly compared to straight white clover and rye pasture. This is because of tannins contained in the birdsfoot trefoil and chickory.

Stop Milk Wetting the Teats!

Check out the teats as soon as the machine is removed and note the amount of milk washed all over them. This presents two facts: 1) bacteria has been driven back up into the teats while milking and 2) any contamination left on the teat has been washed into the milk reducing milk quality.

An individual from Japan recently traveled to see CoPulsationTM working on a large US herd. Comments from that visitor afterwards were: "I saw how does Mark milk in Madison. It was fantastic. All teats are dry, after milking. Milking speed is very high. I have never seen that kind of NON return flow milking...."

You cannot get that result or performance from Boumatic, Delaval, GEA or Dairymaster. They offer only the conventional "washing machine" milking system that will soak the teats in milk every milking contaminating them causing mastitis.

Enter the ‘Show Your Pride’ photo contest and win an NFL player visit PHILADELPHIA — Football season is here, and Mid-Atlantic Dairy Association and Pennsylvania Dairy Promotion Program invite dairy farmers to show their pride of the dairy industry and their favorite National Football League (NFL) team through the “Show Your Pride” producer photo contest. The lucky winner will receive a visit from an NFL player. Entries are due Sept. 23.

The Show Your Pride photo contest is part of the NFL’s “Back to Football Friday” program in which sponsors and partners, including America’s dairy farmers, help to build excitement for

the current football season. Mid-Atlantic Dairy Association is seeking photos that show farmers’ enthusiasm for the NFL, the dairy industry and Fuel Up to Play 60, the school program that encourages students to “fuel up” on nutrient-rich foods, including lowfat and fat-free dairy, and get 60 minutes of physical activity each day.

“The Show Your Pride contest gives dairy farmers an opportunity to get involved with the dairy checkoff’s NFL partnership,” said Laura England, executive vice president of communications for Mid-Atlantic Dairy Association. “It’s a great way for farmers to

show their passion for both the dairy industry and their favorite NFL team, while supporting Fuel Up to Play 60 and the dairy checkoff. And if you are the lucky winner, an NFL player will visit your farm!”

The rules are easy and the creativity is up to you. We are looking for ways that you — and even your cows — support your favorite NFL team or player.

All entries will be posted on a public Web site for national voting, which will take place from Sept. 28 to Oct. 10. Information on the Web site link will be shared at a later date.

In additional to the national contest,

Mid-Atlantic Dairy Association will draw four random winners locally. The winners will be contacted shortly after the drawing and will receive four tickets each to a football game hosted by one of the four NFL teams in the MidAtlantic region: Baltimore Ravens, Philadelphia Eagles, Pittsburgh Steelers or the Washington Redskins.

E-mail your photo entries, along with your name, address and phone number, to Amberleigh Packard at apackard@milk4u.org. All photos must be submitted no later than Sept. 23.

For more information, contact Amberleigh Packard at 717-991-2483.

Moo from A8 However, we are later in the grazing season, so what should we treat with right now if our young stock look crummy? One treatment is to give 10cc of the high tannin, iron and mineral “Ferro” once daily for 5 days in a row — this is highly effective but requires individual animal dosing which most farmers do not like to do when it comes to a group of heifers outside (understandable). Perhaps trying Dr. Paul’s “Eliminate” would be worthwhile. It has ginger root, diatomaceous earth, neembark, garlic and yucca root — good ingre-

dients to battle internal parasites in the digestive tract. It is a simple dosing: 1 capsule / 500 lbs one time and repeat in 3 weeks. Another would be to try Agri-Dynamics Neema Tox or Vermi Tox as both have some positive benefits as shown by clinical trials at Chico State University. Weaned cattle are dosed at 1 oz/300-400 lbs for 3 days in a row. Remember, you can use ivermectin if your animals are in really bad shape — and you probably should at that point.

Remember, now is the time to really check your young stock on pasture

for signs of internal worm infestation. If they are infested and nothing

is done about it, the first batch of damp cold weather will likely bring

on pneumonia — and that is not at all desirable. So be mindful: stop

and observe your animals and take action as needed now, not later.

Organic Dairy: What does the future hold?

NODPA’s 11th Annual Field Days and Producers’ Meeting takes place at the height of the autumn color on Sept. 29 and 30, in Cooperstown, NY and will address some of the key questions that affect the future profitability of organic dairy, including: • The role of private label milk: does it harm producers pay price?

• Should there be an Organic exemption from conventional milk supply management?

• What is the threat to certification and the environment from Natural Gas Exploration and GMO’s?

• In the year of the Farm Bill, do advocacy groups do more harm than good?

• How can the ‘thinking-man’ plan for profit and success from grazing?

The NODPA Field Days is a two-day event that will be held at the Cooper-

stown Beaver Valley Cabins and Campsites, 138 Towers Road, Milford, NY 13807, www.beavervalleycampground.com.

“This year’s program at the NODPA Field Days tackles the most pressing issues for organic dairy farmers no matter who you sell your milk to,” said NODPA President Rick Segalla.

The event starts in the morning on the 29th with a tour of Siobhan Griffin’s Raindance Farm, Schenevus, NY in the foothills of the Catskills where she milks 90 cows that graze on 200 acres. Participants will learn about incorporating cheese production into their dairy operation and the process of developing markets, creating products and on-farm cheese processing.

Troy Bishopp will be at the farm to show producers how to ‘Read the

Participants in the workshop will learn how to assess whether their pastures are moving forward or backward in productivity and profitability by monitoring (assessing) percentage forage ground cover, biological activity, plant species diversity, earthworm and dung beetle populations, and much more.

Following lunch and registration at noon on Thursday, we will kick off the Field Days program with a panel discussion entitled, “Facts and Fiction: Demystifying Private Label Milk” at which Peter Miller, CROPP Cooperative/Organic Valley, Northeast Regional Pool Manager, Kelly Shea, WhiteWave Foods, Vice President-Industry Relations & Organic Stewardship, and other invited industry professionals will discuss what we need to know about private label milk and whether it impacts pay price. Next, and new this year, we will experiment with a different format by holding an open producer and participant meeting on Thursday afternoon where we will explore the future of organic dairy and how producers can ensure their voice is heard on regulatory, policy and marketplace issues.

After Thursday’s education program, attendees will have time to catch up with both new and old friends, and visit the Trade Show during the Social Hour. We will host an Organic Pig Roast for our banquet and afterward will hear from Francis Thicke, our Keynote Speaker. Francis is an organ-

ic dairy farmer and soil scientist who has been a leader in the organic community for many years and is very innovative in his farming and marketing practices. He is a leading advocate for sustainable and organic agriculture and recently ran unsuccessfully for the the position of Secretary of Agriculture for Iowa. Francis will challenge us to take more control of our future as organic dairy producers by sharing his own farming experience and vision for the future. Francis Thicke published his book, “A New Vision of Iowa Food and Agriculture” in June, 2010. NODPA’s Annual Meeting will follow the keynote presentation.

A producer-only meeting will be held early Friday morning, where producers can speak about their concerns, challenges and successes without fear of their views hindering their relationship with their processors. Beginning at 9 a.m., workshops will include “Natural Gas Exploration: What impact will it have on Organic Certification?” with Lisa Engelbert, NOFA-NY organic certifier, James Northrup, energy expert, and Paul Allen, PA organic dairy farmer addressing the group. After a milk break there will be a panel discussion entitled “Advocacy Groups in the Organic Dairy Marketplace: Why they are important and necessary.”

Panel members for this session include Liana Hoodes, National Organic Coalition’s director; organic dairy farmer, Cornucopia Board member and past NOSB member, Kevin Engelbert; OTA

by Dr. Tim Snyder, Nutrition Manager, Renaissance Nutrition, Inc. Are you maximizing milk production from forage? Do you know what your feed shrink is costing with higher priced grain and forage?

Could you use $320 / cow / year more income from forage management improvements?

Forage Quality Value A complete listing of feed prices and relative values for use in replacement purchase of shrinklost forage or grain is updated monthly at www.das.psu.edu/research-extension/ dairy/pdf/feedprices.pdf /view.

Corn Silage is listed at $36 /ton in the August

Penn State survey. An often used rule of thumb for corn silage is 8 times the corn bushel price; at $7.50 that would be $60 /ton. A more thorough Penn State price estimator puts the negotiation range for 2011 standing corn for corn silage at $55 to $65/ton using 150 bu/acre grain (20 ton/acre silage) at $7.50/bu corn. We've heard numerous locations reporting $60+ /ton for corn silage this season. CS with low grain content is worth less, however Digestibility of forage fiber and starch (in corn silage) drives milk production. Using the University of Wisconsin (UW) Milk 2006 software, a

BMR corn silage with a 70% 30 hour NDFD and 30% starch yields 90 lbs more milk per ton and 650 more lbs more milk per acre (at a 20 ton yield) than a conventional corn silage with 60% NDFD and 35% starch. The Professional Dairy Managers of PA (PDMP) provide yearly summaries, including Milk 2006 valuations, of 100+ varieties of corn silage every November after harvest at www.pdmp.org/10corn_s ilage_data.htm. Compare and select varieties that meet your nutritional and agronomic needs for maximum income.

Storage and feedout losses Bolsen (KS 1993) reported bunker silo losses

of 10-15% in the top foot, 4-6% in the next 2 feet from the top of bunkers and 9% overall, after 6 months storage if immediately covered with plastic. Losses increased to 22% and 10% if covering was delayed 7 days; and to 62% and 35% in the top and 2nd foot from the top if left uncovered.

Bolton and Holmes (UW 2009) summarized numerous studies and noted that nothing compares to plastic and touching tires to minimize silage losses. More recently introduced oxygen-barrierplastic silo covers have dropped surface and top spoilage dramatically.

These require an additional plastic cover and a weighting method for

complete protection. A reusable, automated liquid-filled-bladder cover system has been in use in Europe for several years and has recently been introduced in the U.S. Silage packing density greatly influences storage losses, and lower density results in greater losses found near the top of bunkers. Griswold (PA 2009) determined density and dry matter were related to losses. He reported 13 to 15 lb / cu ft of DM density with DM of 31 to 39% kept loss under 4% in their trial. They reported silage densities

(and loss) of 17.8 # (lost 5.4%), 16.8# (lost 4.1%) and 13.5 #/cu ft. (loss 10.3%) at 2, 5 and 7 ft from the floor of a bunker silo. Craig (PA 2009) sampled 113 bunkers at 57 PA farms over 5 years and found average density of the forage was 15.5 lbs/cu ft in the bottomcenter and 11.2 in the top-center. Sides were lower than the center. Average bunker densities ranged from 8.2 to 16.8 lbs DM / cu ft. Only 29% of bunkers sampled had an average density over

Forage Harvest, Preservation and Feedout Economics

their target 14 lbs DM / cu ft. They cited 1995 research by Ruppel showing losses that approached 20% when silage density was less than 14 lbs DM/ cu ft.

The University of Wisconsin (UW) has numerous articles and spreadsheets that cover topics related to forage storage available at www.uwex.edu/ces/crop s/uwforage/storage.htm.

Holmes (UW 2005) in the Average Density of Silage in Storage spreadsheet allows you to safely determine your feed out rate and density, by noting feedout disappearance from various size storages. To improve results next season, Holmes's (UW 2011) Bunk Density Calculator spreadsheet provides information on how thick packing layers should be, and what tractor weight is needed depending on the rate of bunker filling and time spent packing to achieve their recommended density of greater than 15# DM/cu ft. Changing from a 10 in. to a 5 in. packing layer can increase packing density by 3 - 5 lbs/cu ft.

Bolton and Holmes (UW 2009) graphed silage feedout losses showing a 3 inch removal rate at 15 lb/cu ft. packing density resulted in a 3.5% loss, but at a 10 lb. density, loss increased to 7%. At a 9 inch removal rate and 15 lb. density loss was

Economics from A13 1.5%, but at the 10 lb. density loss was 3%.

They recommend never removing less than 6 inches per day.

Summary Good management can limit combined harvest, storage and feedout losses to 10-15%. Poor management can result in combined losses up to 60 to 75%. Be aware that the losses are the most digestible nutrients. Less digestible nutrients remain, resulting in poorer quality forage. Muck (2009) stresses the best use of inoculants is in combination with good silage management.

Keeping the feedout face tight and smooth and only removing as much silage as will be fed in 12 hours will minimize heating & spoilage. Bolton and Homes (UW 2009) recommend use of several smaller silos to fill, pack and cover each more quickly. If forage is coming in rapidly, by filling and packing 2 bunkers simultaneously you can use more packing tractors, with less interference. They note benefits of north-south bunker orientation (to minimize snow accumulation) and open end bunkers to increase management flexi-

bility. Also, a deeper pile (8 ft or more) reduces surface area to volume with a 12 x 50 x 365 bunker at 10% loss losing about 20 tons less than an 8 x 75 x 365 ft bunker.

It's important to calculate forage and feed inventory in the fall and make any purchases when supplies are available and generally lower priced. Using the UW density and sizing calculators or worksheets from the Crop Storage Institute (www.cropstorage. com) will allow you to plan ahead for this year's needs. Holmes's (UW 2011) newest spreadsheet on Determining Value of Improved Silage Management brings together the numerous factors to estimate the money that could be saved on your operation. Using his example values for a 100 cow dairy (with heifers),

with corn silage at $60 / as fed ton, corn at $7 / bu, and haycrop at $175 (dry hay basis), reducing losses from 30% to 20%

by improving management will save over $32,000 / year. Taking steps to reduce the losses that occur at harvest, fill-

ing, storage, feedout and in the trough could net a dairy farm up to $320 / cow / year.

Freshmen and transfer students from Penn State’s departments of Dairy and Animal Science (DAS) and Poultry Science viewed first hand the diversity of Pennsylvania agriculture on the New Student Industry Tour during the first week of classes in

August. The tour was an opportunity to meet farm managers, learn about career opportunities and get to know fellow students and professors in an informal setting.

Dr. Terry Etherton, Head of the Department of Dairy and Animal Science, said, “The annual

Students and faculty who participated in the agricultural industry tour for students Campus are shown here outside the headquarters of Center County PAWS. tour has become an important part of welcoming students new to the University Park Campus, helping them interact with each other and faculty members while learning about student activities and potential careers. The tour offers them an outstanding overview of Pennsylvania agriculture, and it has proven to be a great way for them to begin the first week of classes.”

Morgan Heller, Lebanon, said, “The tour was beneficial — it was nice to be in a more relaxed environment to get to know professors and advisors and learn about student clubs. I appreciated seeing ag-related businesses and farms in the area. And I met many students who I’ll see in classes and clubs.

It was well-rounded, and we saw many aspects of agriculture.” Heller’s primary interest is in the equine industry, but she

new to the University Park appreciated seeing other areas of agriculture.

Lindsay Royer, Elizabethtown, said, “It definitely opened my eyes to different aspects of the ag industry. It was so fascinating to hear how the horses are trained, what they eat and how they are handled. To actually see them work and practice their show skills was amazing — definitely something I am not used to.” Her first love is dairy, so, not surprisingly, she found the dairy farm the most interesting part of the tour. “I miss my cows so much! It was so comforting to see some cows when I was feeling homesick!”

Royer concluded, “It was such a great welcome to the college, and made me even more excited to join as many clubs as possible just so I can be as

Students from A15 much a part of the College of Ag as possible.”

Tour organizer Jana Peters, Animal Sciences Advising Coordinator, said, “The tour is especially valuable because more and more students are coming to DAS with non-farm backgrounds.

This gives them the chance to see the diversity of Pennsylvania agriculture, and they learn so much from the successful professionals who give their time and allow us to visit their facilities. Students also benefit from meeting their classmates and faculty. It is really an outstanding day of education and fellowship.”

Tour hosts included: Dairy: Mercer Vu Farms Inc., Mercersburg Rick and Rod Hissong are the owners of Mercer Vu Farms. The farm has 1,750 mature cows, milking 1,500 through a double 28 herringbone parlor four times/day.

They raise over 1,600 replacements, and haul 45 million pounds of milk annually to Land O’Lakes.

Cows are housed in three four-row freestall bedded with recycled sand and flushed with recycled water. Production average is 28,500 lbs. with 3.6 percent fat and 3.1 percent protein. The Hissongs raise crops on over 2,000 acres of owned and rented land. Rick, the dairy manger, graduated from Penn State in 1993 and is the operations manager, overseeing the cropping enterprise, nutrient management and mechanical issues on the farm. Rod graduated in 1998 and is dairy manager, responsible for dairy herd, replacement program and employee management.

Beef: Gene Wingert Farm, St. Thomas The Wingerts operate a diversified 450-acre livestock and crop farm with help from son Jere and grandson Nicholas. They maintain a herd of 80 crossbred brood cows and finish 650 market hogs on a contract basis.

Using very little grain in feeding the beef herd, they use a forage-based program of excellent pasture and hay. The breeding program is based on the production of “Club Calves” utilizing the best sires available through the artificial insemination industry.

Equine: Chapman Reining Horses, Millerstown Owned by Dutch Chapman, the farm is in a friendly agricultural community. Chapman has ridden to and coached his clients and assistant trainers to more than 60 NRHA topten finishes and 45 world and reserve world championships. Chapman Ranch has 42 fully matted stalls, a heated observation room look-

ing out on the 80 feet by 170 feet indoor sand arena, a 150 feet by 300 feet sand outdoor riding track and five turnout paddocks. They offer training, boarding and coaching services at a variety of levels.

Companion Animal Industry: Centre County PAWS, State College Centre County PAWS is a local, volunteer-based organization and animal shelter, committed to finding homes for cats

and dogs, educating citizens on responsible pet ownership, providing spay/neuter assistance, and ending pet overpopulation. They are a noneuthanasia, membersupported, volunteer-enabled organization dedicated to the Promotion of Animal Welfare and Safety. Shelter Supervisor Lisa Bahr gave students a tour of the modern dog and cat kennels, visiting areas, and low-cost spayneuter surgical suite.

Lunch was sponsored for the group by AgChoice Farm Credit.

Loan Officer Doug Koontz of the Cumberland Valley AgChoice office gave students an overview of career opportunities within AgChoice.

Dr. Cory Meyers, DVM of Mid-Maryland Dairy Veterinary Associates, and Penn State graduate, talked with the students about potential careers in veterinary medicine.

UNIVERSITY PARK, PA — Robert Roberts, associate professor of food science in Penn State's College of Agricultural Sciences, recently assumed the role of president of the American Dairy Science Association.

Roberts began a one-year term during the organization's annual meeting this summer in New Orleans. He had served as vice president during the previous year.

According to the association's Web site, the international group consists of “educators, scientists and industry representatives who are committed to advancing the dairy industry with a

keen awareness of the vital role the dairy sciences play in fulfilling the economic, nutritive and health requirements of the world's population.” The organization publishes the Journal of Dairy Science, the topranked peer-reviewed dairy science journal in the world.

Roberts — who teaches a number of courses, including “Introduction to Food Science,” “Chemical Methods of Food Analysis,” and “Science and Technology of Dairy Products Processing” to seniors in the Food Science major — is responsible for dairyfoods-processing outreach efforts at

Penn State.

In this role, he organizes and directs the 118-year-old Penn State Ice Cream Short Course, Ice Cream 101 and the Penn State Cultured Dairy Products Short Course.

With a research program focused on the microbiology and technology of fermented dairy products, Roberts has authored or co-authored 40 refereed manuscripts and has advised 12 master's and seven doctoral students. He has spoken at International Dairy Foods Association Ice Cream Technology and Cultured Dairy Products Technology meetings and is a regular

speaker at the annual meeting of the National Ice Cream Mix Association.

A recipient of awards for teaching and student advising, he also has presented internationally on dairy products processing and dairy microbiology in Australia, China, Germany, Mexico and Ukraine.

Roberts received his bachelor's degree in dairy technology from the University of Vermont, his master's degree in dairy science from South Dakota State University and his doctorate in food science from the University of Minnesota. He joined the Food Science Department at Penn State in 1991.

Cumberland County couple named All-American Dairy Show ‘Image Award’ winners HARRISBURG, PA — Duane and Donna Duncan of Carlisle, Cumberland County, have been named the winners of the 2011 All-American Dairy Show Image Award. Agriculture Secretary George Greig will present the award at the show’s “got milk?”® banquet on Tuesday, Sept.

20, at the Pennsylvania Farm Show Complex and Expo Center.

The Image Award is presented annually to an individual who has enhanced the image of the All-American Dairy Show with significant contributions to its reputation, prestige and welfare.

“Duane and Donna have been avid supporters of the youth programs at the All-American Dairy Show for more than 50 years,” said Greig. “It’s because of their long-term dedication that this show continues to support meaningful events and contests that draw hundreds of young dairy enthusiasts year after year.”

With wife Donna by his side, Duane served 45 years as a Penn State Agricultural Extension Educator in Adams and Cumberland counties, with 36 years spent as extension director in Cumberland County. He worked with local farm families, developed youth farm safety and therapeutic horseback riding programs, and educated the non-farm public about agriculture.

Along with a local dairyman, Duane was instrumental in starting the 4-H and FFA Dairy Judging Forum at the All-American Dairy Show. For 37 years, the

contest annually hosts more than 250 students who evaluate seven classes of dairy cattle and compete in a management quiz. Donna has been a key partner in coordinating the contest and serving as a scorekeeper since the contest began.

Duane served as the secretary for the Pennsylvania Junior Dairy Show from 1972-1991, and continued to assist with the annual show that boasts between 700 and 1,000 entries each year. Since 1980, he has served as treasurer of the Pennsylvania 4-H Horse Development Committee.

“Duane and Donna are a major part of the legacy of the Pennsylvania Junior Dairy Show,” said show president Dale Olver. “Their dedication to youth achievement and participation is evident through their gifts of time and leadership to these events.”

“This show and the judging contest are important for young people to understand the dairy industry and learn how milk gets put on the table,” said Duane.

Donna added, “It’s rewarding to see the kids’ confidence grow, and to see those who win be so happy and proud.”

Most recently, Duane and Donna have supported the All-American Dairy Show Youth Showmanship Contest, coordinated by fellow Cumberland County resident and former Image Award winner Kathy Walton.

“Duane and Donna work as a team to enhance the activities of the All-American,” said Wal-

ton. “Their unselfish commitment to the youth shows, including the state Junior Dairy Show, 4-H and FFA Judging Contest and Youth Showmanship Contest is what the Image Award acknowledges.”

“One of the nicest things about this award is that it is for both Donna and me, showing our partnership,” said Duane.

Established in 1993, the Image Award is the dairy show’s way of recognizing one of its own dedicated leaders. The winner is chosen through the Image Award Committee of the Pennsylvania Dairy and Allied Industries Associ-

ation and nominations are solicited from within the organization, the volunteers of the All-American Dairy Show and past awards winners.

Show week, Sept. 1722, also boasts 23 dairy shows with nearly 3,000 animals in six days with premiums for all exhibitors. The week caps off with the 55th Pennsylvania Dairy Princess Pageant, Saturday, Sept.

24, at the Camp Hill Radisson Hotel.

If your dry cow mastitis management program doesn’t include vaccination, you could be leaving your cows defenseless against environmental pathogens. Coliform mastitis, caused by Escherichia coli (E. coli) and other bacteria, can have devastating effects if a cow’s immune system isn’t armed to fight infection.

“E. coli mastitis vaccines are like artillery for a cow’s immune system.

They help protect against infection and minimize fallout when cases do occur,” said Dan Funke, quality milk manager with Pfizer Animal Health.

grams and supplementing with mastitis prevention steps, such as teat sealants and environmental management, you can help reduce coliform mastitis severity and provide your cows with a better chance for successful treatment and recovery.

Funke offers three steps for equipping your herd with tools to help prevent severe coliform mastitis.

1. Investigate the enemy: Knowledge is power and with a little reconnaissance, you can better prepare a defense strategy. Culture mastitis cases and review records with your veterinarian to identify common pathogens on your dairy operation. E. coli is the most common cause of coliform mastitis, but other pathogens can be to blame. Tailor your vaccination and treatment protocols to the causative pathogen.

2. Devise a defense strategy: With culture records in hand, work with your veterinarian to develop a vaccination program that protects against E. colimastitis.

Review product labels, dosing and administration information, and efficacy and research to select the best vaccine for you and your dairy operation. Also, consider vaccines with lower endotoxin levels to limit negative reactions to vaccination.

3. Watch your flanks: Even with the best defense in place, including dry cow treatment, teat sealants and vaccination, don’t forget the basics of good management. Vaccines and pharmaceutical products are never a substitute for good management. Work with your nutritionist to ensure your dry cow ration is optimal. Cow and facility hygiene also is necessary to limit exposure to environmental pathogens.

Be sure to set your cows up for success in their next lactation by providing them with an arsenal to fight off coliform mastitis. Talk to your herd veterinarian to confirm your herd is protected, and visit www.milkqualityfocus.co m to get additional insight on dry cow management and E. coli mastitis vaccination.

Foundation for the future offers affordable risk management tools to dairy farmers of all sizes Dairy farmers of all sizes will benefit from the risk management opportunities featured in the Foundation for the Future (FFTF) dairy policy program, designed by the National Milk Producers Federation (NMPF), and drafted into legislative form by Representative Collin Peterson (D-MN).

In particular, the Dairy Margin Protection Program (DMPP) presents farmers with the opportunity to insure up to 90 percent of their milk production against catastrophically low margins, due either to low milk prices, high feed costs, or the combination.

Because the financial stability of dairy operations increasingly depends on margins, rather than milk prices, giving farmers a way to protect their operation’s equity when margins are tight is a huge improvement over the status quo government safety net programs, which are solely focused on milk prices, according to NMPF. “It’s always being said that farmers are price takers, not price makers, but under this new safety net, dairy producers will have the option of making a smart investment to prepare for the type of worst-case sce-

nario like what we experienced in 2009,” said Doug Nuttelman, a dairy farmer from Stromsburg, NE, and a member of the NMPF task force that developed the DMPP. Nuttelman explained that the DMPP offers a Basic level of margin insurance at no cost to producers; all they will have to do is sign up for it, once the Foundation for the Future program is implemented. Under the congressional draft, 75 percent of a farm’s milk production history will automatically be eligible for protection at $4 per hundredweight margin (defined as the gap between the all-milk price, and a national average of feed costs).

But the real opportunity for farmers comes under the Supplemental option of the DMPP, according to Nuttelman, because up to 90 percent of a farm’s production history can be insured in increments up to an additional $4/cwt. The cost of any optional, additional insurance will be shared between the USDA, and producers who elect for Supplemental coverage.

“This gives farms of all sizes the chance to indemnify themselves at a level up to eight dollars per hundred-

weight, meaning that if the milk price is $14, and feed costs are above $6 per hundred, the insurance program will pay them on all their production that particular month. Or, if milk prices are $20, and feed costs are above $12, they’ll get paid,” Nuttelman said. If producers don’t want that level of protection, the Supplemental program offers a sliding scale of options, in 50 cent per hundredweight increments.

And the real attractiveness of this program to smaller-scale operators is that “the margin insurance program allows for risk management regardless of whether you produce 100,000 pounds of milk per month, or one million,” he said. “Many other types of private risk management tools require a minimum volume of milk in order to

will be held Oct. 4-8 in Madison, WI. Dairy cattle owners and their staff of bovine beauticians will be bringing their best cattle to World Dairy Expo to compete for honors and to network with fellow dairy producers.

The owners and caretakers of these top-notch animals will be treated to a tasty Exhibitor Welcome Barbecue early in the week as they pack bedding, feed and settle their cattle in for their week-long stay in Madison. The Exhibitor Welcome Barbecue, for dairy cattle exhibitors only, is planned for Sunday, Oct. 2 at 6:30 p.m. in the Estrumate® Sale Pavilion.

Merck Animal Health has committed to sponsoring this Dairy Cattle Exhibitor event and the Estrumate® Sale Pavilion through 2013. Merck’s support of Expo’s Dairy Cattle Show and Exhibitors is part of their overall support of Expo as a Five Star Sponsor.

“We are proud to be a five-star sponsor at World Dairy Expo, where some of the best dairy producers showcase the best dairy cattle in the world,” said Rick Cozzitorto, dairy marketing manager for Merck Animal Health. “Dairy producers work hard breeding cattle and developing cow families all yearlong, and it’s exciting to support them at this signature industry event.”

Select Sires, Inc., longtime supporter of World Dairy Expo has also shown their support by increasing to become a Four Star Sponsor in 2011. Their support now includes sponsorship of additional Dairy Cattle Show awards including the Junior Champion, Reserve Junior Champion, Grand Champion and Reserve Grand Champion of the Junior and Open Shows.

BouMatic has also provided increased support of the Dairy Cattle Show by providing the premium money for the International Junior Holstein Show portion of the competition. As a continuing Five Star Sponsor of World Dairy Expo, BouMatic has supported many facets of the five-day dairy event and the support of this youth show will assist those future dairy industry leaderrs.

Laura Herschleb, Dairy Cattle Show Manager remarks, “We are extremely appreciative of the support we receive from our generous sponsors each year, especially the increased commitment Merck Animal Health, Select Sires Inc., and BouMatic have made to this year’s dairy cattle shows. We are looking forward to welcoming over 1,000 exhibitors expected from across 36 states and 7 Canadian provinces.”

World Dairy Expo takes place at the Alliant Energy Center in Madison, Wisconsin. “Around the World of Dairy in 5 Days” is the theme for the 2011 show scheduled for Oct. 4-8. For more information, contact World Dairy Expo at 608-224-6455 or visit www.worlddairyexpo.com.

Foundation from A20 enter into a contract.

But the DMPP is open to everyone, large or small.

This brings a new degree of protection to even the smallest dairies,” Nuttelman said.

He also noted that the DMPP is compatible with other risk management programs already in use, such as forward contracts. That type of program allows farmers to lock in a future price that may be attractive and profitable to them, whereas the DMPP al-

lows producers to insure against an unattractive scenario where poor margins may bleed away their equity.

For Nuttelman, whose multigenerational Nebraska farm involves two sons, having insurance against equity loss “would make it easier for us to sit down with the banker, because if he sees that we are protected against the downside, both he and I can invest more confidently in the future of our farm.”

Cayuga County 4-H Youth Fair 2011 There were 38 members (ages 8-18) and 20 Cloverbuds (ages 5–7) that entered over 450 items in the Youth Building exhibits division.

Items in the Youth Building include foods, clothing & textiles, home environment, arts & crafts, communications & expressive arts, child care, horticulture, photography, engineering exhibits and miscellaneous other categories. These items were judged on Wednesday, July 13, at the Ward O’Hara Ag Museum by volunteers that are dedicated to 4-H and the Youth in Cayuga County.

4-H member ages are based on the individual’s age as of Jan. 1 of the current year.

4-H uses the Danish judging system. Under the Danish system, each exhibit, be it a dress, a flower, or a market steer, is compared to an ideal for that category. Evaluators consider the age, experience level and difficulty of the project. Youth and projects are not compared to each other or judged one against another. Exhibits receive either an excellent (blue), good (red), or worthy (white) award, based on

how closely the project meets the ideal.

Members entered and received awards in any of the areas of Food and Nutrition, Clothing and Textiles, Home Environment, Arts and Crafts, Communications, Photography, Horticulture, Engineering and Miscellaneous: Cloverbuds that entered exhibits in the Youth Building include: Audrey Bartholomew, Gavin Bartholomew, Marissa Bartholomew, Emilia Bennett, Harry Brown, Jeffy Carmichael, Will Chappell, Alexis Fredette, Aric Hall, Tristan Lee, Trista Lunkenheimer, Cody Manitta, Chris Moscato, Taryn Langtry, Jeremy Moscato, Kylie Rejman, Dakota Pickreign, John Read, Madalaina Raymond, and Marissa Wiemann.

FFA membership skyrockets to all-time high In the past year, more than 17,000 new students have joined FFA, setting a new all-time high in the organization’s membership since the FFA was founded in 1928.

During the 2010-2011 school year, FFA membership grew to a record 540,379 students, up 17,070 students from 523,309 members in the 2009-2010 school year.

The number of FFA chapters in the U.S., Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands also grew with the creation of 106 new, chartered FFA chapters.

Texas tops the list of states with the largest FFA membership with 81,694 students, followed by California with 70,555, Georgia with 31,616, Missouri with 25,096 and Oklahoma with 23,562. The 10 largest FFA chapters are all in California.

Texas also tops all states for largest FFA membership growth during the 2010-2011 school year, followed by

California, North Carolina, Georgia and Utah.

FFA chapters can now be found in 18 of the 20 largest U.S. cities, including New York City, Chicago and Philadelphia.

“We are excited to see that agricultural education continues to grow and flourish in this country.

Agriculture plays an important role in our everyday lives and it’s inspiring to experience this surge in FFA membership, which allows FFA to grow its impact on young lives,” said National FFA Organization CEO Dwight Armstrong. “With more than 300 careers in agriculture, it comes as no surprise that students from all walks of life are interested in pursuing agricultural education. FFA members are students interested in developing a diverse set of skills and experiences that will equip them for careers in such fields as aquaculture and food science to production agriculture, forestry, research and more.”

National 4-H Council has announced the fall 4-H Paper Clover Campaign in partnership with Tractor Supply Company (TSC). The nationwide, in-store fundraiser will benefit state and local 4-H programming in each of the communities where a TSC store is located.

“We are both honored and excited that our local Tractor Supply store has chosen to support 4-H in Columbia County through the ‘4-H Paper Clover Campaign’,” said Linda Tripp, 4-H Youth Development Issue Leader. “With their support and that of customers right here in our community, local 4-H will be able to continue making a difference in the lives of our youth.”

The fall 2011 4-H Paper Clover Campaign will take place Wednesday, Sept.

21, through Sunday, Oct. 2, ending at the start of National 4-H Week. Shoppers at the Greenport store will have the opportunity to support 4-H in Columbia County by purchasing paper clovers for

just $1 at checkout. All funds raised will be donated to 4-H, and will support 4-H youth development program activities in Columbia County.

“The 4-H Tractor Supply Paper Clover fundraiser continues to ban incredibly impactful local event, hosted on a national platform,” said Donald T. Floyd Jr., president and CEO of National 4-H Council. “We are honored to have a tremendous partnership that helps facilitate the support of 4-H clubs and programs in the communitieis of more than 1,000 Trator Supply Company and Del’s Feed and Farm Supply stores.

Now entering its second year, the TSC 4-H Paper Clover Campaign has provided nearly $500,000 to local 4-H programs across the country. The effort has provided direct support for local camps, after-school programs and other activities, and has granted scholarships to these events that youth can explore their interests in everything from animal science to robotics.

Morrisville State College to hold 22nd Annual Yearling Sale Sept. 25 MORRISVILLE, NY — The Morrisville College Equine Institute will hold its 22nd annual Fall Yearling Sale on Sept.

25, at 11 a.m., at the college’s Nancy Sears Stowell Arena on Swamp Road.

The preview day for the sale, the largest of its kind in New York state, is Sept. 24.

A total of 202 yearlings are up for sale.

Eighteen of them are being sold by the Morrisville Equine Institute: five yearlings of Conway Hall; four yearlings of Cash Hall; two yearlings of RC Royalty; four yearlings out of the first crop by Kenneth J; and three yearlings of American Ideal.

RC Royalty is #1 under leading sires average earnings per foal in 2011 for 2year-old trotters and Conway Hall is #3.

Internationally known harness trotter, Conway Hall (13 total yearlings in the sale) is sire of the 2004 Hambletonian and trotting Triple Crown winner, Windsong’s Legacy. Conway Hall is sire of the winners of more than $47 million, more than $4.25 million in 2011.

Cash Hall (14 total yearlings in the sale) is the world record holder for the half-mile track by virtue of a time trial of 1:51.1. His first crop of foals, now 3-year olds, has won more than $1.8 million.

What’s your 4-H story?

2012 will mark 100 years of 4-H Programming in Pennsylvania. The program has truly grown from its rural beginnings to its global success of today, and everyone involved has a story to tell.

The PA 4-H Centennial Planning Committee would like to capture these stories and paint a historical picture through stories and photos of the last 100 years of the Pennsylvania 4-H program.

4-H members, leaders, 4-H alumni, former 4-H leaders, current and former extension educators, and/or family members are invited to submit a story and photos. Please remember stories and photos cannot be returned so participants are asked to send a high-quality copy of any photo submitted. The photo if possible should relate to the story.

What to include: Name (please include your maiden name if applicable); physical address and e-mail address; what county(s) you were involved with in 4-H; years you were involved in 4-H; your connection to 4-H (club, leaders names, member, parent, leader, educator, family member, etc.); educators are asked to include what their area of expertise was; and if sending photos please make sure names of those in the photos are included, include dates and locations as well.

Stories should describe or highlight a

special moment in one’s 4-H experience. One example was of a story told by a daughter of a 4-H alumnus. She remembers her mother telling stories of when the 4-H Agent would come to the 4-H club in the 1960s to teach members how to cook, working with the girls oneon-one. One of the recipes taught to the members was a dish the mother learned to make at a 4-H meeting and enjoyed so much she continued to make the dish for her family after she married. The daughter remembered how tasty the dish was and is something she too continues to make.

The goal is to have 4-H stories and photos on exhibit around the state in 2012 starting with Farm Show. The state-wide planning committee will be publishing a collection of stories.

The PA 4-H program has made a tremendous difference in the lives of millions! It’s certainly something to celebrate, and our centennial is a perfect time to show what impact has been made over the last 100 years!

If you are interested in submitting a story please contact the office at 570278-1158 or submit it via e-mail, susquehannaext@psu.edu. Deadline for stories to be submitted is Nov. 1.

Our office will then forward stories from Susquehanna County on to the planning committee.

World Dairy Expo offers continuing educational credits World Dairy Expo has become well respected as an elite dairy cattle show, and also as a source for tapping into the latest research and cutting-edge technologies for the dairy industry. Many of the Expo Seminars, as well as, the Dairy Forage Tool Box Seminars qualify attendees for continuing education credits. The American Registry of Professional Animal Scientists (ARPAS) and the American Association of Veterinary State Boards’ (AASVB) Registry of Approved Continuing Education (RACE) are issuing additional credits for their members who attend the seminars.

All 15 of the Expo Seminars and the Dairy Forage Tool Box Seminars are qualified for one continuing education credit for ARPAS members. In addition, the Expo Seminar series is qualified for the RACE program credits.

Members of ARPAS and AASVB will want to take advantage of these continuing education opportunities by attending World Dairy Expo.

2011 Expo Seminar topics include Livestock Gross Margin (LGM) for dairy, genomics testing, communicating with

consumers, robotic milking, calf nutrition, feed costs, somatic cell counts and carbon emissions. The Expo Seminars will be held each day, Tuesday through Saturday, in the Mendota 2 meeting room in the Exhibition Hall.

The Dairy Forage Tool Box Seminars topics feature improving forage harvest; corn silage fermentation time and starch digestibility; forage feeding in top-producing herds; fall-grown oat option; minimizing bunker/bag silage losses; feed cost benefits of reducing greenhouse gases; and capitalizing on forages to reduce purchased corn and soybeans. These seminars will be presented on stage in the east end of the Arena Building where attendees may also view the winning forage samples on display.

World Dairy Expo takes place at the Alliant Energy Center in Madison, WI. “Around the World of Dairy in 5 Days” is the theme for the 2011 show scheduled for Oct. 4 through Oct. 8. For more information, contact World Dairy Expo at 608-224-6455 or visit www.worlddairyexpo.com.

Margin Insurance for Dairy (LGMDairy), and Federal Milk Marketing Orders (FMMOs). Members of the Subcommittee heard testimony about how these programs are working, current conditions and productivity in the dairy industry, and possible public policy challenges moving forward.

“The events of 2009 exposed what many have long-held to be an inadequacy of some of our current dairy programs. While some observers may argue that additional funding may improve the overall effectiveness of our dairy safety net, our current budgetary outlook makes this option a nonstarter. Innovative and effective ideas are needed in order to ensure that our programs support our producers, facil-

WASHINGTON, D.C. — On Sept. 8, Representative Thomas Rooney, Chairman of the House Agriculture Committee’s Subcommittee on Livestock, Dairy, and Poultry held an audit hearing to examine U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) dairy programs.

This is the tenth hearing in the series on farm policy that is designed to provide oversight of current spending to ensure programs are delivered effectively. It also provides Members of the Committee with a comprehensive view of farm programs.

Current dairy programs include the Dairy Product Price Support Program (DPPSP), Milk Income Loss Contract (MILC) Program, Dairy Export Incentive Program (DEIP), Livestock Gross

itate product and market development, and continue to ensure the availability of safe, abundant, and affordable products for our consumers. Today’s hearing provided our Subcommittee with an important perspective about the strengths and weaknesses of our existing programs,” said Chairman Thomas Rooney (R-FL).

“The dairy industry has always faced a rocky road, but the past few years have been particularly hard for California producers. It is extremely important that future dairy policy builds a strong base so dairies can continue to produce milk and consumers can continue to enjoy domestically produced products here at home,” said Ranking Member Dennis Cardoza (D-CA).

Where Information Creates Opportunity

800.496.3344 • www.dairyone.com

Think Yield The old adage "if you can't measure it, you can't manage it" has never been more true. Today, we have more tools than ever before to manage our crops with the yield information, and you may want to be able to take advantage of those tools sooner than you might think. The ideal is to have multiple-year geospacial yield information to use as a resource. Even if you don't have a yield monitor on your chopper, you can still begin measuring your yields.

A great reason to begin running Fields & Crops Manager is to have a place to store your yield information. We were very surprised by the number of farms that record their forage harvest-they just never had a place to put it.

Harvest Worksheet from the Fields and Crops Manager Software Program

The Dairy One Improver Agricultural Management Resources Group Welcomes New Staff Member Specializing in Feedwatch Support The Agricultural Management Resources (AMR) group at Dairy One is pleased to announce the addition of Kevin Streeter to the staff as an Applications Support Specialist. Kevin grew up on a custom heifer-raising operation in central New York and graduated from Cornell University in 2005 with a B.S. in Animal Science. While in school, Kevin worked as a herdsman and an AI technician.

Since graduation, Kevin worked as a nutritionist for a feed company in Vermont and for a veterinary school in the Caribbean. For the past two and a half years, Kevin worked as a nutritionist, and he is also part-owner of his family farm with 60 cows that are milked with a Lely Robotic Milker. He also raises heifers on his farm, with 200 head on feed.

As Applications Support Specialist for the AMR group, Kevin will be supporting Feedwatch, with a focus on feeding and feed management. He is currently traveling and meeting current Feedwatch customers. If you have any questions, please contact Kevin by phone at 800.496.3344, ext. 2188 or by e-mail at kevin.streeter@dairyone.com.

This worksheet is printed from Fields and Crops Manager and is meant to be kept in the chopper to make it easy for the operator to record the number of loads from each field. From this sheet, it is easy to key the number of loads with an average weight for each field.

Using your scales and frequently sampling for percent dry matter would be best, but absent the scales, you can use the table below to estimate the forage dry matter you are taking off each field.

Students Visit Farm to Learn About Agriculture On June 1, 2011, a group of 6th graders from Odessa Montour school district visited Bergen Farms in Odessa, New York. Representatives from Dairy One, DMS, CIDEC, Cornell, and the farm were on hand to describe their jobs, educational experience, and the relation of their jobs to agriculture. Students toured the farm and learned about the milking parlor and milk storage, nutrition, herd reproduction, veterinary services, manure handling and storage, soil sampling, machinery, and other components of running a large-scale dairy operation.

Use this harvest information, along with previous years' information, with your crop consultant to begin working on next year's strategy. Begin with what you have, and then work towards acquiring a yield monitor.

Strongly consider a yield monitor for your next chopper. This information is much more valuable than just reinforcing where your fields need tile. Your geospacial harvest information, overlaid on field information, such as electroconductivity maps, is valuable for creating and evaluating subfield management sections, as well as adjusting your variable seed planting and fertilizer rates.

Increasingly, your crop consultants will be asking you for this information to help you enter your next phase of increasing yields.

PREPAY NOW…SAVE LATER! This is a great year to consider participating in Dairy One’s prepay program. You can realize tax advantages, save money on your testing bill, and eliminate the inconvenience of paying on test day. Each year, Dairy One members of all herd sizes take advantage of this popular program. Look for information coming soon, or call 800-344-2697, ext 2159.

CHEESE DEMAND/ MILK SUPPLY

Issued Sept. 9, 2011 The latest employment

data showing no job creation in August and declining consumer confidence doesn't bow well for the dairy industry, according to the University of Wisconsin's Dr. Brian Gould. Speaking in Tuesday's DairyLine, Gould said consumers are not willing to pur-

Section B chase food away from home (restaurants). He cited the August consumer confidence index which declined from 59.2 to 44.5. That's about a 20 percent drop, he said.

When asked about cheese prices, Gould pointed to existing

stocks relative to production and said "They're pretty high."

Case in point is the ratio of American cheese stocks to American cheese production in July which was the highest since 1987, "so we have a lot of stocks out there relative to production," and he warned that he's not optimistic there'll be a rebound in prices in the near future.

Futures prices on cheese are pretty stable, according to Gould, right around $1.70, plus or minutes five cents, "so right now the indicators are not looking for substantial changes on the up side or even on the downside."

By the way; the July Consumer Price Index (CPI) for all food was 228.3, up 4.2 percent from July 2010, according to USDA. The dairy products index was 214.8, up 7.9 percent.

Fresh whole milk was up 10.2 percent, cheese was up 8.1 percent, and butter was up 21percent from a year ago.

Prices were mixed in Tuesday's Global Dairy Trade (Fonterra) auction, according to the CME's Daily Dairy Report (DDR). The weighted average price for skim milk powder was $1.56 per pound, up 0.3 percent from the August 16 trading. The whole milk powder price, at $1.50 per pound, was down 1.6 percent.

The anhydrous milkfat price was $1.97, up 2 percent, and the Cheddar cheese for industrial use price received an average winning bid of $1.84 per pound, down 4.7 percent from the prior auction. The tradeweighted average for all products was down 1.4 percent from the prior event, and down 25.8 percent from the peak levels established in early March, according to the DDR. Traders and handlers have mixed opinions on what direction price will trend, says USDA. Some feel that weakness will continue, while others indicate the recent weakening trend will cease and prices will possibly firm.

Matter of interest;

eDairy economist Bill Brooks notes that European butter prices are near $2.59 per pound while Oceania prices are just below $1.95.

U.S. butter has plunged to the lowest level since May, closing the second Friday of September at $1.9125 per pound, down 9 1/4cents on the Labor Day holiday-shortened week, down 18 cents in two weeks, and 31 cents below a year ago. No butter was sold on the week.

The lagging NASS-surveyed butter price averaged $2.0596 across the U.S., up 0.9 cent from the previous week.

Grade A nonfat dry milk closed Friday at $1.49, down 2 cents, while Extra Grade held all week at $1.61. NASS powder averaged $1.5424, down 2.4 cents.

Block cheese closed Friday at $1.7850, down a half-cent on the week, but a nickel above a year ago.

Barrel closed at $1.72, down 4 cents on the week, and a penny and a half above a year ago. Six carloads of block traded hands on the week and 13 of barrel. The NASS U.S. average block price fell 10.9 cents, to $1.9843, while the barrels averaged $1.8964, down 18.1 cents.

Checking the milk supply side; the full impact and damage assessment of Hurricane Irene and Tropical Storm Lee is still being assessed.

Empire State News.net reports that farmers who were forced to dump milk may be eligible for USDA payments to compensate them. Meanwhile; the Agriculture Department reports that milk production in the Southeast and Florida were mostly steady at reduced levels. Milk intakes in the Midwest were fairly steady.

California and New Mexico milk production is steady to lower with Arizona trending lower.

Production in the Pacific Northwest is at expected volumes, while Utah and Idaho milk supplies are above year ago levels.

Class I orders are fair to good to fill needs for schools resuming class-

Mielke from B1 es. Cream markets are unsettled to weak. Demand ahead of the Labor Day holiday weekend slowed and buying interest was light. Cream volume moving to churns was expected to increase over the holiday period.

Weather throughout most of Europe has been quite mild for much of the current milk production season. Outside of dry conditions earlier this summer, producers and handlers indicate that the season has been quite favorable for milk output.

Stocks of European manufactured dairy products are generally available for both domestic and international buyer interest. Sales activity has remained quite good from both. Traders and handlers were quite surprised at the level of sales activity in recent weeks and traders are indicating that skim milk powder is moving both domestically and internationally, but whole milk powder sales are more limited, probably due to price. Traders feel that now that the summer vacations season is coming to a close and Ramadan is over, more buyers will be returning to the marketplace for upcoming fall and winter needs.

Early spring weather patterns are being reported in the Oceania region. The snow storm in New Zealand a few weeks ago is history and weather patterns are showing more signs of spring versus late winter.

Most producers and handlers indicate the snowfall did little to negatively impact the dairy industry. Milk production trends remain in line with recent projections, with New Zealand 2-4 percent higher and Australia in the 12 percent increase range. A favorable end to the most recent production sea-

son in Oceania is causing producers in both countries to consider expansions, according to USDA. Australian milk producers are indicating that milk production growth during the upcoming year will be restrained by herd growth but anticipate that production will potentially be more noticeable in the 2012-2013 year. Having experienced a number of years of negative or minimal growth, it will take a number of years to turn this trend around, especially for Australian producers.

Back on the home front, looking "back to the futures" combined with the announced Class III prices for July and August, the Federal order Class III contract's average for the last half of 2011 was $19.75 on August 5, $19.42 on August 12, $19.18 on August 19, $19.36 on August 26, $19.63 on September 2, and was running $19.35 at the close of spot trading on September 9.

In other milk price news and looking "back to the futures" combined with the announced Class III prices for July and August, the Federal order Class III contract's average for the last half of 2011 was $19.75 on August 5, $19.42 on August 12, $19.18 on August 19, $19.36 on August 26, $19.63 on September 2, and was running $19.35 at the close of spot trading on September 9.

Mielke from B2 calcium, vitamin D and potassium and that, according to the 2010 Dietary Guidelines, "these nutrients are especially important for growing children."

She warned that milk is "losing ground" in "a competitive beverage environment," reporting that per capita milk consumption has continued a slow and steady decline at a rate of about 1percent a year for the past 35 years, according to USDA data, but a recent statistic suggests the decline might be escalating.

U.S. fluid milk product sales declined 1.4 percent in 2010, the largest annual decline in more than a decade, she said, and "This trend has continued into 2011, with U.S. fluid milk product sales down 1.6 percent through June."

She said "It's important to note that according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the retail price of milk has been higher during most of this period than the same month a year earlier so it appears that in a tight economy and a competitive marketplace, consumers are increasingly looking to beverages other than milk."

"That's is why the last thing the U.S. dairy industry needs is a change to the Federal Milk Market Order system that would result in higher Class I prices," she warned, and pointed to the plan proposed by Representative Collin Peterson of Minnesota which is based National Milk's "Foundation for the Future."

"NMPF's own analysis estimates that the minimum fluid milk price would have averaged 51 cents higher in recent years under the proposed federal order changes in the draft legislation," Armstrong charged. "Everyone in the U.S. dairy industry should pay close

attention to dairy policy reforms that could hurt demand. That especially applies to proposed legislation that will increase the cost of fluid milk products. We cannot afford to lose any more ground and Americans cannot afford to lose the health benefits of drinking milk," she said.

Congress has plenty on its plate to deal with, primarily the economy and budget issues, according to National Milk's Chris Galen in his Thursday DairyLine talk. He said the nation awaited President Obama's plan to help the economy and deal with high unemployment. Coincidentally Thursday was also the first meeting of the so-called Congressional Super Committee whose mandate is to identify an additional $1.5 trillion in budget savings over the next decade.

"A lot of what's going to drive the process here this fall in Washington is to reconcile those two issues," Galen said, "How to stimulate the economy formally or informally and help put people back to work and at the same time, identify ways to cut government spending."

The committee is supposed to complete its work around Thanksgiving, he said, and present recommendations for Congress to vote on. Many expect farm programs to be targeted for cuts, he concluded, so the groundwork may be in the works for the next Farm Bill.

The House Agriculture Livestock, Poultry and Dairy Subcommittee also held a dairy policy hearing Thursday.

Witnesses included USDA officials from the Farm Service Agency and Agriculture Marketing Service.

Home,, Family,, Friendss & You Know how to spot fly-by-night scam artists and phony charities Hurricane Irene has left a path of devastation for many in Upstate New York with hundreds of homes destroyed, towns and farms flooded. The storm has hit close to home and if you’re not directly affected, you may want to help others that have been.

After a big storm hits and clean up efforts commence, the Better Business Bureau’s past experience unfortunately points to fly-by-night “storm chasers” looking to take advantage of homeowners and their wallets — as well as fraudulent charities promising to provide relief. The BBB is warning consumers to be wary of solicitations that could take your money for all the wrong reasons.

Storm chasers and other door-to-door salespeople often peddle dubious deals that may cost homeowners thousands of dollars and create more heartache.

BBB recommends doing your research to avoid getting taken advantage of by untrustworthy home contractors and the like. For those who seek to aid in

relief, BBB Wise Giving Alliance urges donors to check trustworthy charities before making any donations.

“Not only do area consumers need to be concerned about avoiding fraud, they need to know that charity relief efforts are legitimate and honorable,” said David Polino, Better Business Bureau. “If you need a home contractor, it’s imperative to find one that you can trust.”

Donors looking to help should make sure their money goes to competent relief organizations that are equipped and experienced to handle the unique challenges of providing assistance. BBB recommends that homeowners and donors do the following: Start Your Search with BBB. In addition to offering Business Reviews on tens of thousands of contractors — good and bad — across the US, you can also rely on BBB’s Accredited Business Locator to find trustworthy contractors in your area. BBB accreditation standards require that accredited businesses make a

Morning fuel for school — “break the fast” (NAPSA) — There are many good reasons breakfast is often called the most important meal of the day.

Most significantly, breakfast gives you energy. When you wake up in the morning, your body has been fasting, or going without food, during the hours you were asleep. Eating breakfast means you “break the fast” and give your body (and brain) the energy needed to function — very important for school-aged children.

Studies have shown that children’s learning is stimulated and they perform better academically when they are “fueled for school.” Eating breakfast also helps to develop better eating patterns-you and your family will feel more satisfied and be less likely to overeat or eat too much junk food later in the day.

Breakfast provides a great opportunity to get all the daily vitamins and minerals needed by eating nutritious foods such as whole grains, fruits and dairy products.

You can have these delicious breakfasts ready in

minutes: • Fill toasted whole grain waffles with peanut butter and jam for a unique breakfast sandwich; serve with orange juice.

• Mix yogurt, frozen strawberries, skim milk and bananas in a blender for a tasty smoothie.

• Heat frozen pancakes and top with fruits and with syrup or honey.

• Make breakfast sandwiches with bagels, cheese, egg substitute and precooked sausage.

For a special morning treat, create this delicious yogurt parfait to make everyone in your family smile.

good faith effort to resolve disputes.

Find trustworthy charities when aiding to relief.

BBB Wise Giving Alliance urges donors to make sure their donations will go to legitimate and reputable charities and relief efforts that have the capability to help those in need. Be cautious when relying on thirdparty recommendations such as bloggers or other Web sites, as they might not have fully researched the listed relief organizations. Interested donors should visit www.bbb.org/charity to research charities and relief organizations to verify that they are accredited by the BBB and meet the 20 Standards for Charity Accountability.

Recognize the red flags. Beware of any contractor who uses high pressure sales tactics or requires full payment upfront. Also avoid contractors who require you to get the necessary permits. When looking to make a donation, be cautious about online giving, especially in response to spam messages and emails that claim to link to a relief organization. In response to the previous natural disasters, there were concerns raised about many Web sites and new organizations that were created overnight allegedly to help victims.

Vet the contractor carefully. Verify the business meets all state and local requirements including being licensed, insured and bonded. Also ask the business for references from recent jobs. Confirm whether or not the contractor will be subcontracting the job or relying on their own employees.

Beware of storm chasers. In the wake of a storm, fly-by-night repair businesses will solicit work, often door-to-door, in unmarked trucks. They might require advance payment and make big promises on which they won’t be able to deliver.

Seek at least three bids. Beware of low-ball estimates that may potentially balloon over time or foreshadow shoddy work to come.

Make sure everything is in writing. Make sure that the full scope of the work is explained in the contract including cleanup and disposal of waste. All verbal agreements need to be included in the written agreement. Pay close attention to the payment terms, estimated price of materials and labor and any warranties or guarantees.

Summertime was fair time Hello, this is Jasmine Wratten, the Oneida County Dairy Princess. July and August have been very busy months. July was Ice Cream month and the ambassadors and I scooped plenty of it at fairs and other events. Court members and I attended the Cooperstown Junior Livestock Show July 11, 12, and 13. While there we scooped ice cream and served up free sundaes to the exhibitors and their families.

Did you know that ice cream is enjoyed by more than 90 percent of the American population?

Their favorite flavors are vanilla and chocolate, beating out funky flavors such as cotton candy and heavenly hash.

During the last week of July, the Oneida County Fair was held in Booneville, NY. Court members and I worked hard in the dairy booth bagging cheese, selling milk, and making ice cream sundaes on Kid’s day. We also handed out ribbons for the dairy cattle and goat shows.

Congratulations to all the winners!

August took us to the Empire Farm Days, where we sold t-shirts and other items. It was very interesting to see all the different aspects of the dairy industry represented at one show. We served up more ice cream on Aug. 17 at the Richard Feeds Appreciation Barbecue, where we also sold t-shirts and small items. It was a very busy and tasty day with a yummy chicken barbecue at the end.

Thank you to all the farmers for producing nature’s most nearly perfect food and working hard every single day to make that product available to everyone.

In this time of ever increasing input costs at the farm level, from feed to fuel to maintenance costs of the cow herd or sheep flock, we are all looking for ways to offset those costs as best we can.

From a herd management standpoint one way to minimize costs is to get the herd as efficient as possible on feed and to minimize the labor inputs.

For many of us this means moving to an all forage, all the time production paradigm. Others have chosen not to go that route because it doesn’t make sense for their particular farm goals.

One thing that can work to the benefit of all livestock or dairy producers is how we choose the stock that gets to stay on the farm and continues to produce for us. Whether we raise sheep, goats, chickens, or cattle makes little difference, the animals that give us the best bang for the buck are the ones that help make our operation profitable. And if the operation isn’t profitable it isn’t sustainable.

It is a common practice for stock producers to seek the best off-farm genetics to enhance the productivity of their farming operation. While this

is especially true of the dairy industry and its link to the A.I. studs, it is also true of most commercial stock operations regardless of the species being raised.

Something that is perhaps being missed is the fact that our individual farms are not produced by cookie cutters. Every farm and farmer is different in terms of micro climate, management practices, soils, etc.

Thus, the stock that thrive in one operation may not do so in another.

This seems reasonable, doesn’t it?

Yet, when the glossy A.I. stud cata-

logue comes out we all want to see what is the newest, hottest, bestest, fastest, etc. stud animals out there.

Maybe we ought to take a step back and look at the stock on our own farms that work the best for us.

One eminent breeder of beef cattle in Wyoming often says, “The best cow in the herd is the one that goes unnoticed the longest.” In other words, that cow that brings in an average to above average calf every year for years on end is likely a better cow for the operation

lution for the future or a problem from the past?" Wisconsin dairy producer, John Pagel, who has established a "Risk Management Not Supply Management" website, said he doesn't believe supply management is the answer for the Midwest or for the U.S. dairy industry. He argued that there are so many foreign countries that need dairy products and the Midwest is "sitting in the driver's seat in being able to supply those products."

Pagel does agree that the dairy industry needs a safety net but not supply management. The free market allows farmers to produce as much as

they like, he argued, "The better job that you can do on your farm and the more efficient you can be, creates profit on the bottom line and it's up to the rest of the industry to help us export products and do the best job that we can to make sure our dairy industry stays strong."

He admits there'll be ups and downs like any other business but doesn't believe it's in farmer's best interest to "slow down production and reduce possible opportunities for feeding the rest of the world," as he put it.

He praised National Milk's efforts to

put together a program that would help the dairy industry but supply management is one part he and others do not agree with. He admitted there are regional differences that present challenges in putting a plan together but, with the Midwest having a large amount of processing capacity, "we don't want someone telling us how much milk we can produce" and therefore favors risk management as opposed to supply management.

Minimizing B6

Mielke from B3 After attending the hearing, NMPF President &CEO Jerry Kozak stated in a press release that the general tone of the questions at the hearing from the committee members indicated "a concern that current dairy programs are not up to the task of providing a meaningful farm-level safety net." He added that "NMPF shares that concern, and that's what has driven the creation of Foundation for the Future. We believe we have the best answer to the bottom line question of what should come next for dairy policy."

But, Friday's DairyLine asked the question, "Is supply management a so-

Minimizing costs and building profits with on-farm genetics

Section B - Page 6 September 19, 2011 • Let Them Know You Read COUNTRY FOLKS •

Minimizing from B5 than the “super cow” that produced those two “great” calves before she had to get shipped for not breeding back. Very few of us can afford to keep our herds or flocks as pets. These animals must work for a living, for our living. They need to breed back reliably every year and do so for years on end to help us be profitable. How many breedings to conception does it take to get that milk cow in calf? I’m guessing the fewer the better. What does that cow that needs regular foot trimming cost vs. another cow that needs little or no foot trimming?

By identifying those most reliable, but maybe not the most outstanding, cattle or ewes or does on the farm and then selecting ONLY those females for breeding to off-farm bulls, rams, etc. we can maybe move our home raised herds or flocks ahead better by using home raised offspring out of those “best” females. Yes, I’m advocating keeping some male progeny around out of your cows/ewes/does and using them to infuse the best of the off-farm genetics along with the best of the onfarm genetics across your entire herd or flock. In this way you or I can achieve something that has been forgotten about; uniformity and consistency within our own farm management paradigm and the microclimate in which it runs.

A bull raised in a hothouse environment in Wisconsin may produce daughters that read well on test, but will they necessarily do that well in a different environment in Florida? What about range cattle from the Coastal Plain of Mississippi in Upstate New York? Undoubtedly some good has been identified in those herds from those sires, but how can we most efficiently get those traits infused in our

own herds or flocks? To answer that question Bill Hodge will be conducting two pasture walks in Upstate New York during the third week in September.

Bill is a co-founder and president of Sustainable Genetics, LLC and has over 40 years experience in the livestock industry. After completing undergraduate work at Virginia Tech he had the unique experience of serving as herd manager for Wye Plantation, Queenstown, MD under the tutelage of the late Jim Lingle, a master breeder of both dairy and beef cattle. Bill completed graduate studies at the University of Georgia and has worked for University of Georgia Cooperative Extension for the last 26 years. He is a past Chairman of the Carroll County Chamber of Commerce, serves as chairman of Carroll County’s Agricultural Preservation Advisory Board and the Georgia Agricultural Land Trust.

Bill has made over 100 presentations throughout the U.S. and Canada speaking on behalf of sustainable agriculture and meat animal/forage systems. Bill and his wife Di maintain a minimal input Angus herd (Hodge Ranch, LLC) that utilizes year round grazing with no supplemental feed.

They also direct market grass finished beef, pastured pork, and free range eggs in the metro Atlanta area.

The first pasture walk to be led by Bill will be at the Crosby Farm owned

by Tim Lippert in Berne, NY, Albany County on Sept. 21 from 10 a.m.-3 p.m. The second pasture walk will be at Rita Partee’s Fleur-de-Lis Farm in Seneca Falls, NY, Seneca County, on Sept. 24, from 11 a.m.-4 p.m.

Lunch for the Sept. 21 event in Berne is a potluck dish to pass affair with burgers and drinks supplied by the Hudson Mohawk RCD Council.

Lunch will be provided at the Sept.

24 event by the New York Angus Association.

Additional support for these two events comes from NE SARE, Albany County Cooperative Extension, the Albany County SWCD, Seneca County Extension, the Seneca County SWCD, the Finger Lakes RCD Council, the Hudson Mohawk RCD Council, NY GLCI, the Finger Lakes Graziers Group and the NY Angus Association.

All of these groups have come together in support of these two pasture walk/talks to make them free of charge

While the Northeast struggles through flooding from tropical storms and the leaves are at their earliest stages of color change, still almost entirely green, we are looking ahead to January of 2012. That’s right, the 4th Annual Winter Green-up Grazing Conference is fast approaching.

As a recap we will recall that last year’s event welcomed Joel Salatin and Ray Archuleta to the stage as our two primary speakers. The drawing power of these two names and the great reputation this informative conference has built in a very short period of time brought attendees from as far away as Texas and Idaho. When these attendees were

asked why they made such a long trip the answers were quite similar. It seems these attendees could make the trip to Albany, NY, and participate in the conference for less money than going to other conferences closer to home with the same speakers.

That was just what Tom Gallagher and Morgan Hartman, organizers of the event, needed to hear. Gallagher, a long time Cornell Cooperative Extension of Albany County ag agent, and Hartman have focused on making the Winter Green-up an excellent value for the money.

They take seriously the mission of Cornell Cooperative Extension to conduct research, education, and outreach on behalf of New York’s

farmers. And really, this is the mission of the entire Extension Service in all 50 states.

In that vein, Hartman and Gallagher have put together another incredible lineup of speakers who bring real world experience and academic expertise together to present possibilities for graziers here in the Northeast.

Over two days, Jan. 27 and 28, 2012, the Winter Green-up committee will have five great speakers: • Greg Judy will be here to talk about his mob-grazing operation in Missouri and how that practice has been building topsoil, finishing beeves, and bringing in native species of grasses and forbs simply through altering the animal management on his farms.

• Kathy Voth, animal behaviorist and long time Bureau of Land Management employee will discuss her process of training different species of

livestock to eat what many of us call weeds. If the animals eat the plants and thrive on them, are they really weeds?

• Ulf Kintzel from right here in New York State will discuss his 100 percent grass-fed sheep and lamb production as well as an overview of his farm practices including the training and marketing of his sheep herding dogs as well as the top notch hair sheep breeding stock and market lambs.

• Eddie Draper, Program Director of the Wye Angus Farm for the University of Maryland is coming to the conference this year not as an attendee, but as a speaker.

Eddie has supported the conference the last three years as an attendee and also through contributions from the Wye Angus program toward the fund raising raffle at the conference. Eddie’s presentation will entail a history

of the Wye Angus herd and it’s transition from a private entity to one wholly owned by the University of Maryland Foundation. This tremendous genetic resource of registered Aberdeen Angus cattle has not been outcrossed since 1957 which offers the researchers at the University of Maryland an uncommonly uniform gene pool with which to work for a myriad of studies.

• And finally, Jim Ochterski from Cornell Cooperative Extension of Ontario County, NY will be presenting a tremendous look at building a “brand” for your farm. Jim has worked extensively with farmers across the Finger Lakes region of New York State on this very process so important to making farming operations profitable. You won’t want to miss this presentation. This information and process is incredibly useful for anyone selling from their farm, not just

those of us who are direct marketing our farm products. Even if you are selling weaned calves to feedout operations, creating the brand, the name recognition of your higher quality and consistency cattle/sheep/carrots/wha tever you sell, is important to capturing any premiums that might be available for your product.

Mark your calendars for Friday and Saturday, Jan. 27 and 28, 2012, to attend the 4th Annual Winter Green-up Grazing Conference in Latham, NY at the Century House.

Fellowship of Christian Farmers Editor’s Comments

Storm Warnings I’m writing this column on Monday, Aug. 29, the day after Hurricane Irene traveled up the East Coast raising havoc with everything in it’s path. As all the media focused on the storm and possible dangers associated with it, the images in our minds of the approaching storm were of fear and uncertainty.

Would the storm strike us? How much rain would fall? How about flooding?

Power outages? The list goes on.

Well, we know the answers to the above concerns. We, in Central New York, escaped with some flooding in low

lying areas, but didn’t experience a great deal of loss. Other areas, especially in the Schoharie County region did not fare as well. I just got off the phone with Pastor Jim Woolford, pastor of Gallupville Gospel Church in Schoharie, a good friend and one who has helped FCFI many times at farm shows. His report was not good. Farmers barely escaped as flood waters came into their barns while the farmers were milking. One farmer lost 80 cows. Many have lost all their crops in fields. They’ll have no feed for their animals this winter. FCFI will be organizing work mis-

FCFI at Empire Farm Days

sion trips ASAP to help where needed. If you’d like to help, please contact me at 315-736-5864. I was working in Maine and Connecticut the previous week and got home safely early Saturday morning, just before we felt the storm. Please keep the folks in the devastated areas in your prayers and consider how you may help.

This storm and its aftermath will disappear, although it might take years for some to recover, but there is another one on the horizon. It’s the moral decay that is destroying our great country.

When working shows, especially fairs, for FCFI, it is becoming more and more evident that the moral fabric is being destroyed right before our very eyes.

From the way young ladies dress, yes, even some mature ones, to the language people use and the disrespect for any-

thing good and moral, it’s no wonder our country is in the shape we find ourselves. But there is hope and that’s where we, as Christians and members of FCFI come in. We need to continue sharing the good news of Jesus Christ.

Most are willing to listen. The storm clouds are rising; let’s continue to sound the warning. Jesus Christ and a relationship with him will calm the storms both in our own lives and in our country.

Philosopher Edmund Burke once said, “All that is necessary for evil to triumph is that good men do nothing.”

It’s no time to sit idly by and do nothing. The folks in Schoharie County need us. Our country needs to stand up and be counted.

Remember to give Him thanks in all things, Bill Brown

The FCFI tent at Empire Farm Days remained busy all three days of the show with over 2,000 stopping by to hear the message. FCFI workers are (L-R) Josiah Gant, with an armful of sticksto refill display cans; Charlie Jones, from Gallupville Gospel Church in Schoharie County sharing with a group and Brittany Gant, part-time secretary for the northeast office of FCFI in Marcy, NY, explaining the wonderful message of forgiveness to a show attendee.

Bill Brown continued to spread the message at Empire Farm Days.

Mission trip to Albania 2012

It takes lots of work to prepare walking sticks for all the shows where FCFI exhibits.

Shown working hard at Empire Farm Days are (L-R) Caleb Blair, Uriah Portner, Josiah Daniels and Josh Gant from Friendship Baptist Church in Rome, NY.

The Fellowship of Christian Farmers International will once again sponsor a mission trip to Albania in the winter of 2012. FCFI continues to make mission trips available, both domestic and to foreign countries, for those who feel they would like to expand their service. George and Julie Holmes from Trumansburg, NY, will host their 18th FCFI trip to Albania.

Two mission groups are available for those interested in joining the Holmes.

Each group is scheduled for two weeks in duration, with one in January and the other in February. Anyone going to Albania will be involved with assisting at two children’s meetings, helping with Bible studies, packing seeds, visiting orphaned babies in the hospital, helping at an English school, visiting full-time missionaries to encourage them, and sharing your faith with the Albanian people. You will also be involved in handing out reading glasses and seed packets to individual homes and schools.

At the end of the trip, you will have time to visit historical sights and a couple of farming villages before heading home. If this sounds challenging, please contact us at 607-387-6538. We’d love to have you join us.

Farm show report The purpose of the Fellowship of Christian Farmers International is “To build, maintain and strengthen faith for the farmer, farm family and rural community by presenting Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.” We, in the Northeast, have carried that message this summer from Clinton, ME, to Buffalo, NY, from Brooklyn, CT to Batavia, NY, from Dannsville, NY, to Owego, from Lockport to Seneca Falls, NY, and from Hebron, CT, to Mohawk and Vernon Center, NY, all the while keeping our goal of sharing Christ’s love with as many as possible. And we’re not done yet! The fall schedule will find us in Ontario, Canada, Lowville, NY, and then we head to Moultrie, GA, for the largest outdoor farm show in the south. We also have several mission trips scheduled from the storm ravaged Schoharie County in New York to a possible work trip to Vermont and then to two trips to Florida. I include the mission trips

because they, as well, give us opportunity to show Christ’s love in a very practical way. James 2:17&18 “Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone. Yea a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works.”

We have had around 7,000 people stop by our tents this summer, with the largest shows still on the schedule. The International Plowing Match in Ontario, Canada and the Sunbelt Ag Expo in Georgia will see over 20,000 visit our tents. Around 350 have already made Christ their savior and hundreds of others have been challenged to consider where they will spend eternity. God only knows how many will reconsider this powerful question.

“If you died today, are you sure Heaven will be your home?” It’s a question we all need to answer.

On right, Josh Gant explains the bead story at the 25th Annual Antique Truck Show held Aug. 6 and 7 in Batavia, NY.

FCFI traveled to the Maine State Farm Show in Clinton, Maine in August. Chuck Anken is shown with three young people. Twenty-five people made the all important decision to accept Christ as their savior at the show.

Mission trip opportunities The Fellowship of Christian Farmers International is sponsoring two mission trips to Florida in late October and early November.

The mission trip to Educational Concerns for Hunger Organization (ECHO) in Fort Myers, FL, is scheduled for Oct. 29 to Nov. 5 and the mission trip to Reality Ranch Ministries, Zolfo Springs, FL, will take place from Nov. 6-12.

ECHO work projects include machine repair; fence building; plumbing, electrical and outside repairs; cleanup, chain saw, clearing farm land; irrigation repairs, ditch digging; landscaping, mulching, trimming; planting and harvesting; general maintenance, power washing and cleaning; seed bank, packaging seeds; and making jellies and jams. The cost for the trip is $320 per person from Fort Myers, FL, which includes food and lodging at the Lehigh Resort Club in Lehigh Acres, FL. For more information on this mission trip, contact Bill and Kathy Brown at 315-736-5964 or 315-749-6823. For more information about ECHO, visit www.echonet.org.

Work projects planned for the Reality Ranch Ministries trip include work on Pastor Randy Johnson’s home, building a new pole building and many smaller

maintenance jobs including painting, pressure washing, and fence building.

The cost for the trip is $320 per person from Orlando, FL, and includes food, lodging and some cost of materials for construction projects.

Reality Ministries Inc. is a non-profit corporation, founded on June 12, 1980.

The ministry’s founder and president, Randy Johnson, easily relates to the cowboy life, having spent years doing ranch work and being involved in Rodeo.

Injured in a diving accident that rendered him quadriplegic, Randy committed his life to Christ, Aug, 28, 1975. He then became dedicated to sharing the Gospel. He is an ordained minister. He provides “Cowboy Church” before the rodeo begins for the contestants, workers, rodeo fans and anyone else who wants to attend. You don’t have to be a Cowboy to come!

Some of you might remember Pastor Randy, he was keynote speaker at the 1996 FCFI Conference in New York.

For more information on this mission trip, contact Ron and Deb Herrold at 219-916-3535 or 219-916-3994, or Bill and Kathy Brown, 315-736-5964 or 315-749-6823. For more information on Reality Ranch Ministries, visit www.realityranchministries.org.

Chris Dearborn from Olcott Bible Church in Olcott, NY, shares the bead story at Niagara County Fair in Lockport, NY. The church has partnered with FCFI and has successfully exhibited at the fair for the last six years with great results. This year 106 people committed their lives to Christ at the Fair.

New York FCFI members win top environmental award

New York’s highest environmental honor, the Agricultural Environmental Management Award, was presented to Porterdale Farms of Adams Center, NY, on Wednesday, Aug. 10. The three generation dairying family and sponsoring Jefferson County Soil and Water Conservation District received the award from New York State Agricultural Commissioner Darrel J. Aubertine during the Agricultural Leadership Luncheon at Empire Farm Days near Seneca Falls, NY. What began in 1938 as Glenn and Ruth Porter started farming 35 dairy cows, leaped to 150 cows by 1958 after son, David, and wife, Judy, took over the farm.

Porterdale Farms leaped again as the next generation — Ron and wife, Mary, and Greg and wife, Lisa, — took charge. Today, the farm milks 1,750 cows and manages 5,000 acres with 36 employees.

This 18th annual AEM award bolsters public awareness of exceptional farmer efforts in preserving the environment. It’s jointly sponsored by the New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets, Empire State Potato Growers and American Agriculturist.

“As one of the first thousand-cow dairies in the state, Porterdale Farms has had a lifelong commitment to being good stewards of the land — a practice and belief that dates back long before state requirements for large livestock farms came about,” Aubertine said.

The Porters are actively involved with the Fellowship of Christian Farmers International, with Dave serving on the international board of directors. John Vogel, editor of American Agriculturist, added the following, “Their faith, belief in family, plus a good team of employees and advisors has been the foundation of their success.”

Jobs, jobs, jobs -- farms, farms, farms

by Lynne Finnerty This year, Labor Day must have seemed a bittersweet celebration to many, with more than 15 million Americans on the unemployment rolls.

Farmers and ranchers typically don’t belong to labor unions. They can’t go on strike, because that would mean hungry livestock and potential crop losses. But, here’s one good reason to think of farmers around Labor Day: because agriculture is creating jobs at a time when our nation needs them — badly.

According to a joint USDA-Purdue University report, agriculture will generate an estimated 54,400 job openings each year for the next five years for college graduates with degrees in food, renewable energy and environmental specialties.

USDA on Aug. 31 predicted that our agricultural exports would set a new record this year at $137 billion. That translates into more than 1 million American jobs, thanks to farmers’ and ranchers’ productivity and high demand for

their products around the world. Next year’s ag exports are expected to be equally strong.

If Congress approved the free trade agreements with Colombia, Panama and South Korea, we could add nearly $2.5 billion more to the annual export tally, along with 22,500 more jobs. Every $1 billion in agricultural exports supports 9,000 U.S. jobs, according to USDA, including transportation workers, food processors, packers and others.

Another report, released in August by the Battelle Institute, an independent research group, looked at agriculture’s impact on the economy of the productive North-Central U.S. The report values the 12state region’s agriculture, forestry and value-added products system at $125 billion, supporting 2.4 million jobs. The industry is poised to expand with new markets such as health, specialty crops, biofuels and other biobased products. That opportunity, however, depends on whether the U.S. makes adequate investments go-

ing forward in research and development.

Clearly, one way to create jobs is to have a strong agriculture. To make that happen, government should not hamstring farmers and ranchers with unnecessary regulations.

One of our strengths, obviously, is trade. To take advantage of this, we must continue to open foreign markets by negotiating and ratifying

FOCUS ON AGRICULTURE

trade agreements that eliminate tariffs and other trade barriers.

And, believe it or not, allowing some non-citizens to work on U.S. farms plays a role in creating jobs for Americans.

It’s simply a fact that most Americans don’t choose to make a career out of picking produce for two to three months out of every year. If farmers can’t get the workers they need to harvest

American Farm Bureau Federation crops when they’re ready, we will lose up to $9 billion worth of agricultural production per year. That’s thousands of American jobs at stake.

Comprehensive immigration reform should be part of our nation’s jobcreation plan.

The president, Congress and even political candidates will float lots of job-creation ideas over

Maybe the “jobs, jobs, jobs” mantra should become “farms, farms, farms.”

SHEFFIELD, MA — This summer, two college interns for The Nature Conservancy spent their time on an extended road trip to educate the public about insects that are destroying trees in New York. Through the Don’t Move Firewood campaign, they have reached more than 15,000 people while wearing insect costumes, giving away stickers and fake tattoos,

and distributing information at events throughout the area.

Don’t Move Firewood is an annual outreach effort and multimedia campaign that educates the public about non-native forest insects and diseases that are wreaking havoc on trees in all 50 states. In New York, the newest and most prominent threats to trees are the Asian longhorned beetle and the

emerald ash borer.

In Worcester, Massachusetts, alone, more than 30,000 street and backyard trees were removed after an infestation of the Asian longhorned beetle was discovered in 2008.

For the past two summers, college interns for The Nature Conservancy have helped spread the word that moving firewood from one area to another often allows

tree-killing invasive species to spread into new territory. This year’s interns are Sean Mahoney, a Forestry major at the University of Vermont and Natalie Garcia, an Environmental Studies major at SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry.

By attending 15 different major events in New York, Connecticut and Massachusetts, Mahoney, Garcia and the

Don’t Move Firewood team dramatically raised public awareness about this pressing issue.

“Moving firewood spreads invasive pests that can quickly destroy our forests. If you’ve ever enjoyed the shade of a nearby tree, remember to buy it where you burn it,” said Mahoney.

During their outreach at Grey Fox Bluegrass Festival in Oak Hill, The Big Up in Ghent, and

Warrior Dash in Windham, Mahoney and Garcia spoke with visitors, dressed up in an emerald ash borer costume, and handed out stickers, Frisbees, water bottles, and other items emblazoned with the Don’t Move Firewood campaign’s tagline: That’s What Tree Said.

“I’ve been amazed at how well the Don’t Move Firewood message is received by people of all ages. The emerald ash borer costume is a huge hit everywhere we go,” added Garcia.

The emerald ash borer has been found in 15 states, including Greene, Ulster, and Orange Counties in New York.

Millions of trees have been killed in the Midwestern states by the emerald ash borer, and there is no treatment or spray that works to control this invasive insect once it reaches the forest. In the greater New York metropolitan area, eradication efforts for the Asian longhorned beetle are still underway after its discovery there in 1996.

Trucks USDA highlights assistance to residents affected by Hurricane Irene WASHINGTON, D.C. — On Aug. 31, Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack said USDA is ready to deploy personnel and resources to assist the efforts by federal, state and local authorities in response to Hurricane Irene.

“Our thoughts and prayers go out to all who have suffered losses caused by this massive storm,” said Vilsack.

“USDA is ready to provide food, emergency assistance and other resources to the affected areas. We continue to closely coordinate with many partners to meet the immediate and plan for the long-term needs of those affected by Hurricane Irene.”

USDA encourages farmers, ranchers, producers, landowners and rural communities to contact their local USDA Farm Service Agency Service Center to report damages to crops or livestock loss; their local Rural Development office for housing, business or community assistance

information and/or their local Natural Resources Conservation Service office for help with debris removal.

USDA is offering the following assistance in response to the hurricane: Housing Assistance — USDA’S Rural Development is encouraging residents affected by the disaster to immediately apply for funding assistance under Rural single family housing loan and grant programs. Funds are available for housing repair, rehabilitation and home purchases. For home financing, USDA will assist with expediting lender approval and approval for access to the Guaranteed Underwriting Services; and offer streamlined loan processing.

Individuals needing payment assistance on their existing USDA Rural Development Single and Multifamily loans are encouraged to contact the Centralized Servicing Center at 800-414-1226.

ties in Presidentially declared disaster areas may be eligible for funding through Rural Community Facilities programs.

Facilities eligible for funding include schools, libraries, childcare centers, hospitals, medical clinics, assisted living facilities, fire and rescue stations, police stations, community centers, public buildings and transportation. These communities can contact USDA Rural Development offices to determine which program is applicable to assist them.

USDA’s Natural Resources Conservation Service state operations are prepared to work with local communities to determine Emergency Watershed Protection (EWP) requests in the disaster areas. EWP helps protect lives and property threatened by

natural disasters such as floods, hurricanes, tornadoes and wildfires.

The program provides technical and financial assistance to preserve life and property threatened by excessive erosion and flooding. Owners, managers, and users of public, private or tribal lands are eligible for EWP assistance if their watershed area has been damaged by a natural disaster. NRCS can fund immediate actions necessary to address threats to life or property (exigencies).

Exigency funds are provided and approved quickly to lessen the threat to lives and property that exists as a result of storms or flooding. For example, exigency funding can be used to remove stream blockages and debris.

Debris can include twisted trees and other woody

vegetation as well as home construction materials. The removal of stream debris is important because obstructions increase the risk of flooding thus the further risk to life and property.

Other conditions where EWP exigency funds can be used include embankment stabilization and erosion control around culverts or bridges of open roads. If these areas are not protected and stabilized after a storm or flooding there is increased threat to life and property.

Business Assistance — Rural businesses in Presidentially declared disaster may be eligible

have crop and or physical damage, to contact their local Farm Service Agency Service Center as soon as possible.

The affected State and County Emergency Boards, chaired by the USDA Farm Service Agency (FSA), are assisting with the response efforts and quickly assessing agricultural needs and determining the storms impact on crops. Emergency loans are available to agricultural producers through the Farm Service Agency Emergency (EM) Loan Program which provides low-interest EM loans for crop and livestock production and physical losses. The loans are available in counties de-

clared under a Presidential (FEMA) declaration or Secretarial disaster designation. Assistance also might be available through the Farm Service Agency Emergency Conservation Program (ECP) funds, subject to the availability of funds. ECP signup will be held where authorized by FSA State Committees. ECP applications will be processed subject to available funding.

And farmers and ranchers may qualify for assistance for any crop or livestock losses if they meet certain eligibility requirements.

Assistance is available through the following FSA assistance programs: • Supplemental Revenue Assistance

Payments Program for crop revenue losses from quantity or quality deficiencies only in those counties and contiguous counties declared disaster areas by the Agriculture Secretary or in cases where a farm’s overall production loss exceeds 50 percent; • Noninsured Crop Disaster Assistance Program for producers and ranchers who previously submitted an application for coverage for noninsured crop losses.

• Emergency Assistance for Livestock, Honeybees, and Farm Raised Fish for emergency relief to producers of livestock, honeybees and farmraised fish who suffered losses from disaster such as adverse weather or other conditions, such as blizzards and wildfires not adequately covered by any other disaster program; • Livestock Indemnity Program for assistance to livestock producers for livestock deaths from disaster events, in excess of normal mortality; • The Tree Assistance Program for partial reimbursement to orchardists and nursery tree growers for replanting, salvage, pruning, debris removal and land preparation if losses due to natural disasters exceed 15 percent and • Producers who have existing direct loans with FSA in counties declared or contiguous to counties declared as disasters are eligible to be considered for Debt Set Aside (DSA). Under the DSA program, up to one full years payment can be moved to the end of the loan.

Assistance also is available for crop producers who previously purchased crop insurance through programs offered by the USDA Risk Management Agency (RMA). RMA is prepared to authorize emergency loss procedures that streamline, on a crop specific basis, certain loss determinations and payments.

Additionally, USDA staff is coordinating closely with agricultural industry representatives to address specific needs as they arise.

In advance of the storm, the USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) helped consumers prepare for Hurricane Irene by providing critical food safety information. Food safety public service announcements were sent to media outlets along the entire Eastern seaboard to give direction about how to prevent food borne illness once families return to their homes. Additionally, FSIS issued consumer alerts in English and Spanish to media outlets and on the Web to provide consumers with food safety steps to take before and after a power outage as well as flooding.

Consumers with food safety questions can “Ask Karen,” the FSIS virtual representative available 24 hours a day at AskKaren.gov. The toll-free USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline 888MPHotline (888-674-6854) is available in English and Spanish and can be reached from l0 a.m. to 4 p.m. (Eastern Time) Monday through Friday.

Recorded food safety messages are available 24 hours a day.

USDA’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service provided livestock and pet safety tips.

A View from Hickory Heights

by Ann Swanson Thank God for birthdays There will never be anything about a birthday that is ordinary after a diagnosis of breast cancer. Each and every birthday will be a milestone documenting the years that God gives me.

Although I have never taken good health for granted, it is now more important to me than ever.

I pray that I use the gift of days or years as they are given wisely.

May I honor God in every phase of my life.

My journey through this dark valley has been filled with many reminders that I am not alone, ever. From the first I was not afraid.

God gave me peace.

Many thanks go to the team in the mammography unit for their skillful diagnosis of a tumor

when it was very small. I would not have felt it for years in the spot that it was growing. I went from there to my personal physician who sent me back for a recheck. At the point that I was making this appointment I experienced something that I had never experienced before. I heard a voice behind me say, “You are going to be alright.”

I took that as my sign that although I would have to go through many procedures there was hope on the other end. If you have to have some form of cancer, I guess breast cancer is as good as any since there has been so much research done. They have a pretty good success rate as long as it is detected early.

The whole experience has been nothing short of amazing. Since the doctor

assured me that time away would not hurt my condition, I traveled in peace. Everything has fallen in place. Usually I go to Chautauqua the last week, but not this year. My week there was before treatment started this summer. When my 50th high school reunion rolled around I was able to go because my treatment had not yet begun.

Trips from the fair for treatment were at times that did not interfere with events that I wanted to see. I finished radiation just before my birthday.

I have never felt so completely under the

care of the Lord. I have not attempted to hide what was happening to me; I just needed more information before I said anything. When you get into the health care system you go from test to test and doctor visit to doctor visit waiting for information. In my case, I went from surgery to surgery waiting for a sign that all would be well.

Finally, that sign arrived in a clean diagnosis following lymph node surgery. The young student, a daughter of a former colleague, who was shadowing the surgeon, thanked me for providing

the opportunity to see two unique procedures.

She followed me through needle location of the tumor and the lymph node surgery.

Once I had all of the particulars I shared my news with my relatives, friends, and my church family.

Now as I mark another birthday I do so prayerfully thanking my maker for giving me more days to do his work. I share my story with you, my readers, in the hopes that it will help at least one person. Routine mammograms are extremely important. My tiny tumor was not visible last year,

but it was this year. That is enough reason for me to advocate annual mammograms.

Throughout my treatment — I only needed radiation and a pill for the next five years — friends and family have been not only attentive, but supportive. This time I have been on the receiving end of cards and phone calls. All of those things are very important. They let me know that I was in someone’s thoughts and prayers.

That meant a lot to me.

The Bible does not

Growers expecting high quality fruit and plenty of cider this Fall FISHERS, NY — The harvest of New York State’s most popular apple varieties began the week of Sept. 12.

Growers are emphasizing to the public that the recent Hurricane Irene damage did NOT affect the apple crop.

A complete directory of the state’s orchards, as well as variety info, recipes and health facts can be found online at www.nyapplecountry.com.

“We’ve got a beauty of a crop,” said Jim Allen, president of the New York

Apple Association.

“While our hearts go out to our brothers and sisters in other areas of agriculture who sustained huge damage from Irene, our crop of apples weathered the storm quite well,” Allen said.

The quality of the fruit this season is outstanding, with a sunshiny, arid summer putting high sugar levels into fruit, according to grower reports.

“Consumers should expect super sweet apples from our growers this fall,” Allen said.

McIntosh apples are being picked right now across the state. Other varieties due the week of Sept. 19 in most orchards include Gala and Honeycrisp.

Consumers should also look for the Zestar, a new variety showing up in select orchards and retailers.

The New York Apple Association is again partnering with retailers this fall to help alert consumers to the local aspect of the crop.

Consumers looking for help in the shopping aisles for picking out good apples can download the “ThemApples” app from the Apple App Store.

“There’s an app for that,” Allen said.

“Buy local” signage and “New Crop Apple” displays will be in place in most supermarket produce departments.

Apples grown locally taste better, are more crunchy and fresh and leave a smaller “carbon footprint” since they travel shorter distances to market, helping the environment.

Growers are predicting a 30 million bushel crop, with outstanding growing conditions throughout much of the summer, despite the heavy rains of the past month.

Hickory from B14 promise that if you believe in the saving grace of Jesus that you will have a life without trouble. What it does say is that when you walk through the valley you will never be alone. I took Jesus with me to every procedure and every treatment. I recalled favorite songs and Bible verses. I remembered Bible stories where the power of the Lord was the focus. I prayed for others as I endured the trials before me.

Now, I move forward.

Life will never be the same. Each day is a gift that I treasure and hope to make the most of.

Jesus said, “In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” John 16:33 (NIV) Ann Swanson writes from her home in Russell, PA. Contact at hickoryheights1@verizon.net

FSA reminds producers of disaster assistance deadlines The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Farm Service Agency (FSA) Administrator Bruce Nelson reminded producers about upcoming deadlines for disaster assistance. Nelson emphasized that losses must be the result of a weather event occurring on or before Sept. 30, 2011.

The 2008 Farm Bill authorized coverage of disaster losses through five programs: Supplemental Revenue Assistance Payments Program (SURE); Livestock Indemnity Program; Emergency Assis-

tance for Livestock, Honey Bees, and Farm-Raised Fish; Livestock Forage Disaster Program; and the Tree Assistance Program.

SURE applications for 2010 crop losses will begin this fall. SURE applications for 2011 crop losses will be accepted in the fall of 2012.

Fact sheets for these programs can be found at www.fsa.usda.gov by clicking on Newsroom, then Fact Sheets.

Perfect late summer day As I made my way downstairs, the orange hue of the sun was streaming in our east kitchen window.

I looked out across the hay field at the low lying fog at a perfect late summer day. I smiled in

spite of myself. Next, I looked out the window across the room to the west into the courtyard.

A beautiful huge sunflower plant filled its space and was looking back at me. It had grown so tall and had so many blossoms on it that it started to fall

late summer day and the next I was thinking of all the flooding that our children have had to endure in Pennsylvania.

We talked to our son in eastern Pennsylvania who sounded a little dismayed, as they were receiving their third heavy rainfall in the last two weeks. He said that it was the wettest August on record, with 18 inches and three floods.

Last night, our weatherman said to look for Northern Lights. It is early for them and they

claim that it means a weather change is approaching. I can’t remember what kind of change, but I do hope it’s for the good. Personally, I don’t think it could get much worse. We’ll just have to wait and see what comes because we can’t change it; we just have to learn to roll with the punches.

It is bad enough we have to let nature take its toll, but this year we also have to live with the 9/11 threats. Many times we are reminded of

those out to harm us for whatever reason. Dear Lord save us from what we are all doing to ourselves. All these woes remind us of the adversities we have had to endure all these years. Because of everything we’ve gone through, our hearts and prayers go out to all those in harm’s way. It is only by a miracle from our Creator that we have made it through all these years of farming. The last few days, we’ve started to notice geese.

Our one son is surprised that they are this late, but we’re not, everything else is a little later than usual. When the geese fly, my husband is reminded that it’s time to get serious about cutting wood. I know that at our age we’re not supposed to be working this hard, but I think that one of the reasons he doesn’t mind it so much is because he likes to go down in the woods for the solace.

It’s like a different world when you are under the canopy of those big old trees. The magic and beauty are really a venue that creates an atmosphere to meditate without interruptions, with only the sounds of the birds and animals scurrying about. As you exit the woods, you’re greeted by the bright sunlight, the alfalfa and cornfields and you’re brought back to reality and all that comes with it.

Some folks prefer not to have many trees, but we not only enjoy our woods, we also try to plant trees every year.

They heat our home and domestic water and also serve as wind breaks and shade. The woods, which are at the back of our farm and on the highest ground, have the tendency to hold water and then release it slowly during a long hot summer drought.

We are so thankful for our trees!

God, the creator of the farthest parts of the earth, never grows faint or weary. He gives power to the tired and worn out, and strength to the weak. But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength.

They shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint. I am holding you by your right hand — I, the Lord your God — and I say to you, Don’t be afraid; I am here to help you.

(Isaiah 40:28, 29, & 31, 41:13) TLB

over, requiring some support. I counted over 30 yellow blossoms spreading their beautiful colors, telling me that everything was still alive. Then taking a closer look, I noticed a little orange sunflower standing as straight and tall as it could, in the shadow of the larger one. I think it was trying to tell me that there is room for everyone, no matter how small they seem to others.

One minute I was dreaming of a perfect

“SAFETY SAVVY” Affiliated with Bassett Healthcare One Atwell Road Cooperstown, N Y 13326 607-547-6023 800-343-7527 jcarrabba@nycamh.com

NYCAMH delivers farm safety training to 4,516 people in 45 New York counties last year!

by James J. Carrabba, The New York Center for Agricultural Medicine and Health-NYCAMH NYCAMH offers educational farm safety services to the farming community throughout the state of New York. These services include on-site farm safety training, onfarm safety surveys, and farm safety presentations for rural communities, agricultural education programs, 4-H groups, and agribusiness meetings. This service is made possible by a grant from the New York State Department of Labor Hazard Abatement Board. All of these services are offered at no cost to the New York farming community through this grant funding. During the last complete year of the grant, NYCAMH was able to provide direct contact farm safety training to 4,516 people in 45 different New York counties.

Last year, nearly every county in New York had some type of NYCAMH farm safety training educational event or onfarm safety survey!

Here is a breakdown of the numbers of people that received direct contact farm safety training last year: • Number of individuals trained on farms: 2,522 • Number of individuals trained in other farm safety presentations: 1,994 Here is a breakdown of the farm safety educational events that were delivered: • On-farm safety surveys: 44 • On-farm safety training sessions: 257 • Total of all other farm safety educational presentations: 117 Here is a sample of some of the comments from farm owners about the NYCAMH farm safety training sessions conducted at their farms: “Refreshed safety habits and raised safety awareness” “Saves on insurance/ accidents/loss of work” “Bilingual services are

great” “Helps them comply with audits” “NYCAMH was able to provide a visit on short notice” “Personal awareness of safety issues” “No accidents” “Shows employers

care” “Employees know that their safety is important to the owner” We are very pleased to announce that once again NYCAMH has been awarded another year of the New York State Department of Labor Hazard Abatement Board funding to provide farm safety educational services anywhere in New York. The new grant year started on Aug. 1. We extend a sincere thank you our friends in the New York Agriculture com-

munity that have supported this program so much over the years. To schedule a farm safety survey, on-farm safety training session or farm safety presentation, contact Jim Carrabba, Agricultural Safety Specialist at 800-343-7527, ext.

State lawmakers bring DFS Superintendent Lawsky to focus on critical insurance issues in the wake of Irene Assemblyman Pete Lopez (R,C,I-Schoharie) and Senator James L. Seward (R,C,I-Oneonta), working with the governor’s office, recently brought Benjamin M. Lawsky, Superintendent of the state Department of Financial Services, to tour the damage of Tropical Storm Irene throughout the Schoharie Valley and Catskills and meet with local officials to help ensure residents have the best assistance from the new state agency, which will assume the duties of the state Department of Insurance.

“Families and businesses in communities devastated by recent storms are determined to rebuild,” said Senator Seward. “There are a great number of stakeholders pulling together to revive our communities and I am confident the insurance industry along with government will play significant roles moving forward.”

“The importance of the insurance issue cannot

be overstated,” said Assemblyman Lopez. “The devastation of Irene and, most recently, Hurricane Lee have pushed homeowners, farmers and employers to the brink. They are making decisions now whether to stay and rebuild their lives and futures in the region or simply walk away.”

Senator Seward and Assemblyman Lopez have been working together with local, state and federal officials to ensure a quick and thorough response throughout the region, which includes the hardest hit counties of the 21 New York State counties that have since been declared disaster sites due to storm and flooding damage. A particular concern is the ability of homeowners and employers to ensure damage is cov-

ered by their insurance companies, especially since many residents did not have flood insurance.

the storms and floods have assistance when dealing with their insurance companies, the Senator and Assemblyman brought Superintendent Lawsky to view the widespread damage in the Schoharie Valley and Catskills firsthand. As a result, the pair are pleased to announce that the Superintendent is setting up Mobile Command Centers in Greene and Schoharie counties to help residents and employers with insurance-related concerns.

While Senator Seward and Assemblyman Lopez continue to urge residents or employers in need to contact any of their offices for any assistance, they also recommend that those with insurance-related questions contact

the state Department of Insurance’s special Irene Insurance Help Hotline by calling 800-339-1759. The hotline will be staffed with insurance professionals Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. until 8 p.m. until further notice and can help residents and employers not only with property damage but health insurance-related concerns as well as auto insurance. Additional information also can be found on the department’s web site at www.ins.state.ny.us.

As residents and employers are returning to their homes and businesses, Senator Seward and Assemblyman Lopez encourage constituents to take photos of the damage and document

all conversations with your insurance representatives, as well as to use every precaution to keep themselves safe, including wearing gloves and masks, proper waterproof footwear and being wary of fallen materials such as tree limbs, power lines, and building debris. For more cleanup tips and assistance, please visit the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA) Web site at www.disasterassistance.gov or www.fema.gov or by calling 800-621-3362.

Assemblyman Lopez said, “If sufficient funds are not made available and government is unable to fill the gap, we face dramatic changes in the fabric of our communities. We must

do everything possible to preserve our communities.”

Reforms of federal order dairy pricing system, featured in Foundation for the Future package, to simplify milk pricing Past attempts to reform — and simplify — federal regulations affecting dairy pricing have achieved mixed results at best, but the changes included in the National Milk Producers Federation (NMPF)’s Foundation for the Future (FFTF) program represent a once-in-a-generation opportunity to make major improvements, NMPF said.

Reforming the current complex milk pricing system is one of the key elements of FFTF, along with providing a better margin-focused, farmlevel safety net, and a means of temporarily adjusting milk production when conditions warrant.

But revamping the Federal Milk Marketing Order system “is perhaps the most daunting, because the current structure is difficult to alter unless comprehensive and specific adjustments are written into legislation,” said Dave Fuhrmann, President of Foremost Farms USA, a dairy cooperative based in Baraboo, WI. Fuhrmann chaired a NMPF committee that developed the Federal Order improvements featured in the FFTF package.

Under the proposal that NMPF has helped to design, and which has been drafted into legislative form by Representative Collin Peterson (DMN), the U.S. Department of Agriculture will no longer specify a

monthly minimum price for four classes of milk, derived from a weekly price survey of dairy commodities.

Instead, the system will feature just two classes: one for fluid milk, and another for manufactured products.

This will “allow the discovery of a true, competitive market price for milk, rather than a price derived from an unwieldy and divisive formula-based approach,” Fuhrmann said, noting that the current endproduct pricing formulas, featuring make allowances for manufacturers, will be eliminated. This change, along with the elimination of the Dairy Product Price Support System, “will significantly enhance the ability of the U.S. to grow export markets over the long term.”

Reducing the system to two classes not only simplifies things, it will also reduce price volatility, because more milk is moving in response to the same prices and adjusts supply and demand more quickly and more consistently, according to Fuhrmann.

The FFTF proposal maintains a minimum price for fluid milk, using the “higher of” feature in the current system, to help maximize the return to dairy producers for bottled milk sales.

Current Class I differentials in the ten Federal Order areas are also

maintained as they are, as is the overall geographic structure of the Federal Order regions.

Farmers in states like California, which are governed by a state pricing system, would not be impacted by the changes to the federal system.

Some farmers have expressed concern that the proposed change to a competitive pricing system will not mandate component pricing, featuring a regulated mini-

mum value for the protein in their milk.

However, “producers and cooperatives will still be able to negotiate for components values in their milk, since the proposal doesn’t preclude the use of component pricing, particularly when the plant buying the milk places an importance on protein for their products,” Fuhrmann said.

Fuhrmann noted that those who are calling for

the complete elimination of any type of milk marketing orders “have to realize that dairy farmers support Federal orders.

We’re taking great strides in reforming it, but we’re not looking to end the system entirely,” he said.

There is still wide-

spread support for the beneficial aspects of Federal Milk Marketing Orders, including the fact that they help enhance the bargaining power of producers, and help balance supplies of milk to ensure adequate fluid milk for bottling.

fast tracked to aid localities, businesses and farms hardest hit by the storm As New Yorkers continue to assess the personal and financial toll wrought

by Hurricane Irene, Assembly Minority Leader Brian M. Kolb (R,I,CCanandaigua) on Sept. 7 called on Governor Cuomo to redirect $50 million of the $200 million in state economic development funding toward helping local governments, businesses and farms that bore the brunt of the storm repair, rebuild and recover.

“Millions of New Yorkers weathered Hurricane Irene’s wrath with the storm’s economic impact to our state estimated at $1 billion. The storm impaired local governments, devastated businesses and damaged regional roadways, bridges and other critical infrastructure that are the lifeline for citizens, commerce and communities across New York,” Leader Kolb said.

“To help affected communities repair, rebuild and recover, we need to get funding out of the state’s administrative pipeline and flowing directly into impacted regions as quickly as possible. This is exactly what I asked Governor Cuomo to do by redirecting $50 million of the $200 million in state economic development funding currently targeted for the administration’s Regional Council Initiative. If ever there was a time to redirect a portion of state economic development funding to assist distressed communities, businesses and farms in getting back on their feet, now is that time,” Leader Kolb stated.

Leader Kolb’s letter to the Governor stated, “Ideally, the $50 million – currently targeted for the Regional Council Initiative – would be fast-tracked to aid affected localities, businesses and

farms hardest hit by the storm. Utilizing $50 million from the $200 million already set aside for economic development aid would have minimal impact on the administration’s Regional Council Initiative, especially since so many areas of our state were adversely impacted by Hurricane Irene and will undoubtedly qualify for economic recovery funds. Frankly, given the storm’s size, severity and scope, such a reordering of priorities is necessary,” Leader Kolb wrote.

“A total of 21 counties throughout New York State have already been declared eligible for Public Assistance by FEMA. Hurricane Irene impacted a significant portion of our state, including the Capital Region, North Country, Hudson Valley, Long Island and New York City. All of these areas had local businesses, farms and infrastructure severely damaged or, in some cases, completely destroyed by the storm,” Leader Kolb stated.

“Providing targeted and timely financial assistance to localities, businesses and farms that were among the hardest hit by Hurricane Irene will accelerate recovery efforts by strengthening the economy and supporting private sector job creation, both of which happen to be priorities of the Governor’s Regional Economic Development Council initiative.

My proposal is to bypass any bureaucracy and fast track this funding in light of the economic devastation Hurricane Irene caused to the Empire State. Doing so will assist storm-impacted communities, local businesses and farms already working to move forward after the storm,” Leader Kolb concluded.

Scientists point to precarious state of U.S. Pesticide Safety Education Program Scientists with the Weed Science Society of America (WSSA), the American Phytopathological Society (APS) and the Entomological Society of America (ESA) expressed concern about the precarious state of the U.S. Pesticide Safety Education Program (PSEP). Funding for the program has plummeted in recent years and is now in danger of evaporating completely.

As the nation’s primary pesticide applicator training and education program, PSEP is responsible for ensuring the safety of applicators, other workers and the public, for protecting the environment and for providing guidance in the proper use and security of pesticides.

“In addition to certifying applicators and delivering education on the safe use of pesticides, the program today is tasked to provide guidance on a wide range of pesticiderelated topics — from avoiding spray drift and minimizing development of pest resistance to protecting endangered species,” said Lee Van

Wychen, science policy director for WSSA. Collectively, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) are responsible for ensuring that the nation’s pesticide training needs are met. Since 1965, federal funds to support PSEP and its coordinators have been provided annually by EPA through USDA’s Cooperative Extension System. In fiscal year 2000, for example, EPA provided $1.9 million for PSEP, but in fiscal year 2011, EPA funding has been eliminated.

The only remaining source of federal funding for PSEP is $500,000 mandated by the Pesticide Registration Improvement Renewal Act (PRIA II), which translates to only $10,000 per state. However, this funding will end in fiscal year 2012 when the statutory authority of PRIA II expires. To compound the problem, most states have significantly reduced their funding for the personnel and basic services needed to support pesticide education

through the Cooperative Extension System.

Statistics show close to 900,000 private and commercial applicators holding PSEP certification in 2010, including more than 100,000 new certifications and more than 225,000 applicators pursuing recertification. In addition, the program has educated more than a million other pesticide users.

“With nearly a 75 percent reduction in federal support for PSEP over the past decade, there is no question that states will not be able to deliver the same quality of PSEP training or to certify the same number of individuals,” said Carol Ishimaru, APS president.

Recently, WSSA released a technical paper on PSEP that addresses its history, goals and funding. The paper also discusses proposed ideas for ensuring more stable financial resources for PSEP in the future.Examples include:

• Allocating additional dollars from federal and state pesticide product registration fees to cover education on the proper use of pesticides.

• Pursuing grants from pesticide companies, commodity groups, conservation groups and others with an interest in pesticide safety education.

• Changing policies, regulations and statutes to better support funding.

For example, most states direct fines for improper use of pesticides into their general funds.

These dollars would be an especially appropriate source of support for pesticide safety education.

“There is no one solution to the increasingly precarious state of the Pesticide Safety Education Program,” Van Wychen said. “A grass-

roots effort is needed by stakeholders at the state and national level to overcome policy and regulatory impediments and to ensure the program’s sustainability and focus.”

The WSSA technical paper on pesticide safety education is available on the WSSA Web site: www.wssa.net.

Beef Council mascot Patty Melt greets visitors at the 8th annual Taste of Hamburger Festival, Sept. 3.

Burger Stand.

Arika Snyder, 2011 PA Beef Ambassador, addressed the crowd and visited with consumers about the importance of including beef as part of a healthy diet. She also distributed easy, delicious recipes and educational materials focused on beef and its benefits.

The Berks County 4-H Beef Club also entertained crowds with Patty Melt, the Beef Council’s burger mascot. Patty strolled the streets of Hamburg, waving to visitors and even posing for pictures.

Other highlights of the festival included the restaurant cook off, chili cook off, hamburger eating contest, mooing contest and wooden cow decorating contest. Prizes were even awarded to visitors who traveled the farthest.

This consumer promotion was funded by Pennsylvania’s beef, dairy and veal producers through the $1 perhead national Beef Checkoff. For more information on this program or the Beef Checkoff, contact the PA Beef Council office at 1-888-4BEEFPA.

Farm feed and supply donations being sought In an effort to assist local farms devastated by the effects of Tropical Storms Irene and Lee, area agencies and residents are working together to coordinate the donation of farm supplies and services to farmers in need. Although emergency operation centers have been

working to provide clean water, food, shelter and assistance to local communities affected by flooding, needs unique to farming such as livestock feed and bedding, farming equipment and animal housing are in great demand.

To address this issue, New York Farm Bureau

Field Advisor, Bambi Baehrel, has been working with members of the Otsego County Farm Bureau, the Schoharie County Cooperative Extension and the New York Center for Agricultural Medicine and Health (NYCAMH) to match up donated farm services and materials

with identified needs on affected farms.

“Although many livestock were saved from flood waters, much of the food and supplies needed to sustain them, were not,” said Baehrel. “Due to structural damage and crop loss, these farms are financially strapped

and concerned about how they will feed and provide for their animals in the coming weeks.”

Area farmers, agricultural service providers and suppliers interested in donating materials, services or contributions to affected farms should con-

tact Ms. Baehrel at 518-634-7852. An update on donation activities will be provided at the upcoming annual Otsego County Farm Bureau meeting being held at the Worcester Inn on Oct. 4.

New legislation aims to prevent EPA regs on farm dust WASHINGTON, D.C. — New legislation introduced by Senator Mike Johanns (R-NE) that would prevent the Environmental Protection Agency from regulating naturally occurring farm dust is welcome news for the nation’s farmers and ranchers, according to the American Farm Bureau Federation.

“Regulation of farm dust by EPA could severely hamper the ability of farmers and ranchers to meet the world’s food needs,” said AFBF President Bob Stallman.

EPA is reviewing existing regulations for particulate matter, which includes soot and dust.

Soot is generated by car emissions and factories; dust occurs naturally.

According to Stallman, planting and harvesting crops, livestock moving from place to place and people driving down dirt roads are just a few of the ways dust occurs naturally on farms and in rural areas.

“The current rules pertaining to dust are adequate,” said Stallman. “Increased regulation of farm dust could result in decreased productivity and higher food prices, coupled with lost jobs in the rural economy. Moreover, the scientific basis for establishing such regulation has been called into question and it has not been demonstrated that the benefits of EPA regulation would outweigh the costs.”

The new legislation introduced by Johanns prevents EPA from making dust regulations even more stringent, while taking health concerns into consideration.

“State and local governments would have the authority to regulate dust in localized areas if necessary,” Stallman explained. “But a national standard would not be imposed.”

Accidents will happen, even to responsible hunters with over 10 years of experience. Accident frequency and severity can be reduced in a number of ways.

Find out what you can do as a hunter or property owner to protect yourself.

Mike had been thinking about this day for weeks…the first Saturday of hunting season. Mike wanted to make sure everything was perfect since he was taking his twelve year old son hunting for the first time, the same age he was when his father first took him and he shot his first

quail. He has been hooked on hunting ever since.

Earlier in the week he took his son to an outfitter store and got him everything he needed.

Mike spent the previous evening laying everything out. He verified that he had packed his shotgun sling, leg gaiters, shells, hunting vest, and favorite shotgun. Thank goodness he remembered to pack the First Aid Kit. Twenty pounds of gear was packed and loaded in the vehicle. The coffee pot was scheduled to brew at 4:30 a.m.

Mike met up with his

hunting partner John and his son at their usual meeting place and time.

The group of four had been hunting for hours, but with no success. Finally, they flushed a large covey out of some plum thickets.

John went off to search for a downed bird. The three other hunters walked over to another covey about 200 feet away. A quail flew up behind Mike and he turned around and unknowingly shot in John's direction. John screamed out in pain.

The rest of the afternoon was spent dressing John's wounds in the field, running to the Emergency

Room, and answering questions from the conservation officer interview.

Obviously, the day did not end as expected.

Mike did not expect John to name him in a lawsuit, after all they had been friends for 25 years, but he could have. Fortunately, Mike had purchased liability insurance to cover the hunt club members and the owner of the property where they hunted regularly.

No one expects to go hunting and get injured, but like most any outdoor activity, injury is a risk.

Since firearms are typically involved, the injury

may be more serious.

Every year the International Hunter Education Association (IHEA) compiles a hunting accident incident report. The most prevalent “major factors” cited for these accidents include the following: “Failure to identify target, Victim out of site of the shooter, Firearm fell from insecure rest, Failure to use safety belt, Victim moved into line of fire, Shooter swinging on game, Failure to check beyond target, Careless handling of firearm.”

IHEA recommends hunters and shooters follow four basic rules of firearms safety, known as the TABK acronym.

T - Treat every firearm as it if were loaded A - Always point the firearm in a safe direction.

B - Be sure of your target and what is beyond your target.

K - Keep your finger out of the trigger guard and off the trigger until ready to shoot.

How Can Hunters Reduce Risks?

Hunting accidents of all types happen every year.

Most hunting accident victims are responsible hunters who have over 10 years' experience. Although hunting accidents have trended downward as a result of increased hunter education requirements, there are still approximately 1,000 hunting accidents annually. Ten percent are fatal. What can you do to increase safety while hunting?

1. Get proper education. Read, take a hunter safety education course, watch hunter education videos, take an on-line course. A variety of re-

game. Each state has its own guidelines, which can be viewed on www.

How Can Landowners Reduce Risks?

Landowners can assist hunters by making sure property lines are well marked and posting “No Trespassing” signs. Hazards such as wells, cliffs, and cable gates should be well identified to help prevent accidents and injury. A safe area for campfires should be designated. Lastly, establishing open lines of communication with the hunt club can go a long way towards maintaining an accident free environment.

Is Hunting Lease Liability Coverage Needed?

Liability lawsuits can ensue as a result of the emotional and financial stress resulting from injury. If you are leasing hunting land from a private landowner, hunting lease insurance can protect you and your loved ones from financial catastrophe. With a general liability insurance policy, coverage is provided if a club member is found legally responsible for the accident. The beauty of hunting lease liability insurance is the fact that the insurance company is obligated to defend you whether it is a frivolous case or not.

What Coverage is Needed?

Most policy holders look for the following benefits to be included: Member-toMember Coverage, Guest Liability Coverage, Fire Damage Liability, and Liability from tree-stands and ATV's. The coverage most recommended has $1 million per occurrence general liability coverage and $2 million general aggregate.

Who Should be Covered?

All landowners who charge a fee to hunt. Most state statutes offer a lower level of liability protection when there is compensation involved. The American Hunting Lease Association (AHLA) program is designed to protect both the landowner and the hunters and can be purchased by either party.

How Much Will It Cost Prices vary from underwriter to underwriter and are sometimes based upon a number of variables. Some insurers will charge based upon number of people in the hunt club, game harvested, location of the property, size of the property, and cost of lease. Prices can range from $175 and up per policy.

At American Hunting Lease Association the price is based upon one variable: acreage. AHLA is one of the top sellers of hunting lease insurance in the country and gets low pricing due to the high volume of policies sold. Through AHLA, a policy that insures both landowner and hunting club costs only $175 for less than 500 acres.

Does the Landowner need to be Named as an Additional Insured?

More and more landowners are requiring the hunting club to purchase insurance naming the landowner as an additional insured. If the landowners are named in a suit caused by an occurrence of the hunting club on their land, they will be covered.

What Protection is Provided to the Club in the Event of Legal Action?

If the hunting club becomes legally obligated to pay damages for bodily injury or property damage arising from claims against the club, the hunting lease liability insurance policy will pay all sums due up to policy limits.

Food safety advice to commercial growers regarding flooded crops Floods occur when water or runoff from surface waters such as rivers, lakes or steams overflows and runs into fields. Water from heavy rainfall that pools on the surface of saturated soils is NOT considered flooding.

Flood waters are likely to contain contaminants. These may come from upstream farms and rural septic systems, urban lawns and roadways, industrial sites or overflow from municipal sewage systems. Contaminants may include: raw manure or feces, agricultural chemicals, heavy metals or other chemical contaminants. Microbial pathogens that could be in flood waters include bacteria, viruses, and parasites.

For these reasons, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) considers crops where the edible portion has come in contact with flood waters to be adulterated and not to be sold for human consumption. See: • www.fda.gov/Food/FoodDefense/ Emergencies/FloodsHurricanesPowerOutages/ucm112723.htm • www.fda.gov/RegulatoryInformation/Legislation/FederalFoodDrugandCosmeticActFDCAct/FDCActChapterIVFood/ucm107527.htm As painful as it may be to do, all crops with edible portions that have come in contact with flood waters should be destroyed or discarded.

Advice for growers with flooded crops: Per FDA, discard all crops that have edible portions that have come in contact with flood water. Before cleaning up or destroying crops in flooded fields, check with your crop insurance and/or local Farm Services Agency (FSA) representatives regarding exact documentation to certify losses, procedures for initiating claims, possible financial assistance.

Although root crops are usually cooked and often peeled before consumption, if under flood waters, they may be considered to be grown in unsanitary conditions. We are waiting to learn more details from the FDA about their regulations, but common sense suggests that intact, undamaged crops that are to be peeled and cooked, such as winter squash, can be sold after they were flooded BUT ONLY IF flooding was for a short period of time (several hours at most) and the crop was promptly harvested and is thoroughly washed and then treated with a high rate of sanitizer such as chlorine or Sanidate before sale. We have contacted the FDA about this — if we learn differently from the FDA we will inform you as soon as we have a response.

Place markers at the high water line so you can identify the area where crops were in contact with flood waters.

Leave a 30 foot buffer between flooded areas of fields and adjacent areas to be harvested for human consumption; this is to accommodate a generous turn-around distance for equipment to prevent contact with flooded soil and avoid cross-contamination of nonflooded ground.

Workers should wear protective clothing such as rubber boots and rubber gloves when working in fields that were flooded where plants that may be contaminated. Protective clothing should be discarded or thoroughly cleaned after working in flooded areas.

Avoid feeding crops that came in contact with flood waters to livestock as plants could have pesticides, pathogens, mycotoxins, or other contaminants that could be harmful to livestock health.

If your well head was submerged, retest your well water to make sure that

only safe, potable water comes into direct contact with produce.

The Vermont Department of Health “NU” test kit costs $15 for a measure of coliform and E.coli. Call 800-660-9997 to order with credit card or request an order form.

Regarding crops near flooded areas, or with no edible parts developed or exposed to flood water: Crops near flooded areas or those that were flooded without the edible part of the plant coming in contact with flood water (such as sweet corn or staked tomatoes) need to be evaluated on a case by case basis. These, and crops in which the edible portion develops after flood waters recede are not automatically deemed adulterated. It is your decision whether to sell them after considering the following:

NORWICH, NY — The Central New York Resource Conservation and Development Project, Inc. (CNYRC&D) recently completed the second year of a three year program to assist beginning women farmers, defined as those having less than 10 years farming experience. “Empowering Beginning Women Farmers in the Northeast through Whole Farm Planning” is funded by Holistic Management International through a grant from the United States Department of Agriculture.

Across the Northeast, over 150 women have graduated from the training giving them new tools, information and perspectives on how to

succeed in farming.

This innovative program instructs participants on using a holistic approach to decision making on their farms.

Thirty participants (15 per year) from all across New York State met for 10 sessions on topics such as goal setting, financial, business, and marketing plans, land and infrastructure planning, soil fertility, and planned grazing. The final four sessions were located on farms to allow for hands-on learning.

According to participant Linda Haley Ross of Madison County, “The NE Beginning Women Farmer program allowed me to learn hands-on, in-classroom, and through peer discussion the real challenges I would be facing as a

farmer today, while providing me the tools to address them. In addition, I leave with a lifelong support system and perpetually growing network of resources to guarantee my success.”

Participants are provided with a mentor and are connected with a network of other beginning women farmers throughout the Northeast for additional support. Participants from previous classes continue to meet after

graduation to stay connected, enjoy the camaraderie created by the training and expand their learning.

Applications for the third year of this program are due on Sept.

30, and are available at www.cnyrcd.org or by contacting Lauren Lines, New York State Coordinator at rcdstaff@cnyrcd.org. The sessions will begin in November and will be located in Central New York for the upcoming year.

some pathogens and/or chemicals.

• If feeding to livestock, was the crop exposed to prolonged periods of moisture and stress that could promote fungal growth or molds that could produce mycotoxins?

Other considerations: Allow at least 60 days to elapse between flooding and planting of the next human food crop. In absence of known or suspected biological or chemical contaminants in flood waters (such as sewage discharge or run-off from industrial sites) you can replant after 60 days.

Organic growers: flood waters might contain residues of prohibited substances.

Contact your certifier to discuss your situation.

Soils should be al-

lowed to dry sufficiently and then tilled to at least six inches deep before planting crops. Adding compost or other organic matter when tilling will be beneficial to many soils. The soil should be retested for nutrient levels after flood waters recede, as the pH and nutrient levels of the soil may have changed.

To protect the soil from erosion, it is advisable to plant a cover crop on fields that cannot be replanted soon with an edible crop. Cover crops can also help suppress weeds, and improve overall soil health. At this time of year (early fall) small grains such as oats or winter rye are good choices, with or without hairy vetch for adding fixed nitrogen.

Food from C20 • Is the edible part of the plant developing and if so, how far above the flood water was it?

• Is there any evidence that floodwater splashed up onto edible portion of the crop? Floodwater almost certainly contains

$10 million federal fund to help New York repair farmland destroyed by Hurricane Irene

LARGE PUBLIC AUCTION FRIDAY, SEPT. 23RD @ 9:30 AM

Statement from Dean Norton, President of New York Farm Bureau on the announcement on Sept. 7 of a bill that would create a $10 million federal fund to help New York repair farmland destroyed by Hurricane Irene: “Our farm families are grateful for the response from our Congressional delegation to help our farmers who were devastated by this storm.

“The Post-Irene Emergency Farm Aid Act, if passed, will go a long way to restoring the precious soils that were washed away at the hands of this unprecedented weather event.

“This is a valuable part of our long-term recovery prospects and will help ensure that our farms remain a vital part of the rural economy, providing jobs.

“We thank Senators Charles E. Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand, together with Congressmen Chris Gibson, Maurice Hinchey, Paul Tonko and Bill Owens for stepping up for our farmers.”

UNIVERSITY PARK, PA — A unique set of circumstances could lead to a heightened threat of deadly gas being created in silos across the Northeast, according to a farm-safety expert in Penn State's College of Agricultural Sciences.

The dangerous phenomenon may have started with the scorching heat wave the region experienced in July — which has some areas on the edge of drought conditions, according to Davis Hill Sr., extension associate in agricultural and biological engineering. The gas could develop if the region receives normal amounts of rainfall through the rest of the summer.

“There is now a lot of drought-stressed corn, particularly on manured fields,” he said. “If this crop receives sufficient rainfall later in the season, there will be a potential for higher-than-average nitrates to build up in the corn plants just prior to harvest. This condition can lead to high gas levels in silos.”

During the fermentation process of silage, a number of gases are given off, Hill explained. Of particular concern is a family of gases called oxides of nitrogen — often referred to as “silo gas.”

“The formation of these gases peaks in one to two days after filling and can last for 10 days to two weeks after the fresh, green forage is chopped and blown into the silo,” he said. “This is a naturally occurring process and is necessary to ferment the forage so it is usable feed for livestock and for long term storage.

“Sometimes, gas production is so great that it is mistaken for a silo fire,” Hill said.

Farmers and fire personnel need to realize that it would be nearly impossible for a silo fire to start soon after filling, Hill noted. “This is why we always talk of attempting to locate the actual fire location within the silo before any attempts at extinguishment proceed.”

Silo gas sometimes has a bleach-like odor and under certain conditions can be visible as a fog from a distance — and thus be mistaken for smoke. If the gas is concentrated enough, this fog will appear to be yellow to reddish brown, and the silage surface, silo wall, base of the chute and other structures of the silo may be stained yellow, orange or reddish from the gas.

This gas is heavier than air, which means it will settle at the surface of the silage instead of rising to the top of the silo, exiting through the fill door. This is an important factor, Hill pointed out.

“The highest concentration of gas will be at the surface of the silage, which is where a person will be going if he or she needs to enter the silo for any reason,” he said. “Also, if a silo door is open near the surface of the silage, the highly concentrated gas could exit the silo through this door, flow down the

chute and settle at the base of the silo in the feed room or into the barn area.

“If there is little ventilation in the barn area, a dangerous buildup of silo gas can occur, which can affect livestock or people who enter the area.”

The presence and concentration of silo gas is dependent on the storage structure and the quality of the forage material that is chopped. Those crops that have received nitrogen fertilizer (corn) and those crops that have suffered prolonged drought — or, in particular, prolonged drought conditions followed by rain just prior to harvest — often are prone to high gas production.

That could happen this summer, Hill worries. “It appears that this year, with the long droughty period that much of the state endured — which stunted the corn crop — there will be more corn harvested for silage, and that will be done fairly early,” he said.

“The high levels of nitrates in this crop will lead to higher-than-normal concentrations of silo gas produced during the ensiling process. Operators need to be aware of this and take precautions.”

These precautions include ensuring that all spaces at the base of the silos are well ventilated and that silo doors are closed well above the level of the silage surface. People should stay out of the silo for three weeks after it is filled and always should ventilate the silo with the silo blower for at least 20 minutes prior to entry (however, this is effective only if the silo is more than half full).

Hill also advises producers to consider leaving the lower 10-12 inches of stalk in the field (chop higher

than normal), as this part of the plant may have the highest level of nitrates accumulated.

Individual reactions to silo gas depend on the concentration of gas that is inhaled and the length of exposure, Hill explained. Very high concentrations of gas will cause immediate distress, which will result in a person collapsing and dying within minutes.

“When gas levels are this high, normally the individual will not be able to withstand the symptoms felt and will vacate the area quickly,” he said.

Lower concentrations could cause upper respiratory congestion, watering eyes, cough, breathing difficulty, fatigue and nausea. “If symptoms are mild, an unsuspecting individual may stay in the area to finish the job at hand,” Hill said. “This can make the effects of silo gas worse, as these effects can last for many hours in the body, causing symptoms to become progressively worse over the course of the next day or two.”

People experiencing any of these symptoms when inside or near a freshly filled silo should immediately exit to fresh air and leave the task for another day.

They also should immediately go to their doctor or a hospital emergency room and report having a serious “silo gas poisoning” exposure, Hill advises.

“One after-effect of silo gas poisoning is fluid in the lungs leading to chemical pneumonia, and perhaps death, if not treated promptly,” he said. “The effect of fluid filling the lungs may not present itself until several hours after the exposure — and then it may be too late.”

Pennsylvania Shepherd's Symposium set for Oct. 22 and 23.

Whether you currently own sheep or goats, or are considering starting a small ruminant flock or herd, you should plan to attend the Pennsylvania Shepherd's Symposium and Beginning Shepherd's Workshop on Saturday, Oct. 22, and Sunday, Oct. 23.

The symposium will be held at the Samuel E. Hayes Jr. PA Livestock Evaluation Center, Pennsylvania Furnace, PA on Saturday, Oct. 22 and will focus on reproduction. Making sound reproduction management decisions can really make a significant impact to your flock, both economically and genetically. Join us as we explore the reproduction systems of the ram and ewe and learn how technology has come to play a vital role in the process. Topics covered will include everything from ram collection to embryo transfers.

Our featured speaker is Glen Erickson of New Frontier Genetics in Wellsville, Utah. Erickson is actively working with deer, goats, sheep, and some exotic species on semen collection and evaluation, artificial insemination, and embryo transfer. After spending over 20 years as the Shepherd at Utah State, Glen now travels the country performing reproductive procedures for some of the most elite flocks and herds.

The day will also include the opportunity to meet with our industry's youth. We will offer a youth program that will have a breakout session in the morn-

Islip, NY, declared free of the asian longhorned beetle Eradication efforts demonstrate success, additional areas targeted ISLIP, NY — The trees in Islip, NY, have been declared free of the destructive Asian longhorned beetle (ALB). The announcement was made Aug. 23 at a special event hosted by the United States Department of Agriculture’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) and the New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets. It was welcome news in the fight against this beetle, which has the potential to wipe out most of the nation’s hardwood trees.

The ALB was first detected in Islip in September 1999. Its eradication was possible because of an 11-year cooperative effort between APHIS, the NYS Department of Agriculture and Markets and various partners at the state and local levels, as well as the concern and involvement of the public.

“Efforts of this magnitude can only succeed when we all work together and are vigilant in helping to report and stop the ALB’s spread,” said Darrel J. Aubertine, Commissioner, New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets.

“The biggest thanks go to the citizens of Islip, whose support was critical. Some allowed us to cut down several of their trees in the process to eradicate the beetle, and they can take pride in knowing that without their help, we would still be battling it today.”

“The successful eradication of ALB from Islip would not have been possible without the solid partnership between federal, state and local governments,” added Christine Markham, APHIS National Director of the Asian longhorned beetle cooperative eradication program.

“Eliminating the ALB required the continued communication between government agencies and the public, and a united commitment to eliminate the pest.”

To celebrate the accomplishment, government officials at the event, held in East Islip, presented a certificate of appreciation to the Town of Islip. They also planted a commemorative tree in Brookwood Hall Park, which was donated by the New York City Parks and Recreation.

In all, 181 infested and high-risk host trees were removed in Islip between

2000 and 2002. In addition, just over 23,000 surrounding non-infested host trees received treatment applications from 2001 through 2004. Now that Islip is ALB-free, APHIS will issue a federal order and the Department of Agriculture and Markets will revise its regulations, to rescind the seven-square-mile quarantine. This will reduce the regulated area in New York from 142 to 135 square miles.

“We have been happy to work with the U.S. Department of Agriculture to eradicate this dangerous threat to Long Island’s ecosystem,” said Islip Town Supervisor Phil Nolan. “I am proud to join in declaring the

Town of Islip officially cleared of the Asian longhorned beetle, and I thank everyone for their hard work in this lengthy undertaking.”

“This beetle is a serious threat to our maple trees and we are excited to hear about the progress being made in eradicating it from New York,” said Helen Thomas, Executive Director, NYS Maple Producers Association. “New York is the second largest maple producing state in America and the Asian longhorned beetle is one of the leading threats to our future. This is a very important announcement.”

“The Asian longhorned beetle poses a major threat to our trees, particularly

our sugar maples — the trees largely responsible for our beautiful fall foliage and home grown maple syrup,” added Troy Weldy, Director of Ecological Management for The Nature Conservancy of New York. “This eradication effort exemplifies what our federal and state agencies can accomplish when the necessary resources are provided. These agencies need our full support as we look towards fully eradicating this destructive beetle from New York.”

“New York’s forest products industry contributes $4 billion to the State’s gross economic output annually,” said Eric Carlson, President and CEO of the Empire State Forest Products Association.

“The livelihood of some 60,000 people is jeopardized by this beetle and we are very encouraged by the progress in the fight to eradicate it from New York and the U.S.” “More areas are starting to win the fight against this pest,” said Rhonda Santos of the ALB Cooperative Eradication Program at APHIS. “We’re hopeful that when people hear of the successful eradication in Islip, they’ll be on the lookout for the ALB and report it when they see it.

That way, efforts can be made to quickly contain and isolate an area from future destruction. We also want people to remember to not move firewood, which is the num-

ber one cause of the spread of this beetle.”

The ALB was successfully eradicated from Chicago, IL, and Hudson County, NJ, in 2008. Islip marks the third successful eradication in the U.S. Currently, portions of Manhattan and Staten Island, NY, and Middlesex and Union Counties, NJ, are undergoing a survey process that, if successful, will eventually declare them ALB-free in 2012 (Manhattan) and 2014 (Staten Island and New Jersey). “An area is declared free of the ALB after all the infested trees are eliminated and surveys are negative for active signs of beetle activity or the presence of the ALB,” explained Santos.

HARRISBURG, PA — The Pennsylvania Infrastructure Investment Authority (PENNVEST), working in conjunction with the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), will host auctions this fall for the sale and purchase of nutrient credits in the Susquehanna and Potomac watersheds.

There will be two “spot” auctions of verified credits, applicable to the 2011 compliance year. Both auctions will afford wastewater treatment plants in these two watersheds to purchase credits as a means of meeting their nitrogen and phosphorous discharge limits for the compliance year.

PENNVEST is conducting these auctions as a component of Pennsylvania’s nutrient credit trading program to encourage the trading of nutrient credits in the Susquehanna and Potomac watersheds. The Nutrient Credit Trading program provides a cost-effective means for facilities subject to meet limits for ni-
