Corn and soybean growers recognized by Sally Colby Despite a challenging growing season, Pennsylvania corn and soybean growers managed to achieve enviable yields. Winners of yield awards were recognized at the Professional Crop Producers Conference held recently in Lancaster, PA. “Some our entries were washed away, but we averaged 192 bushels/acre,” said Dr. Greg Roth, Penn State University professor of agronomy. “Average populations were 30,000.” Roth noted that members of the corn club have been increasing yields over the past 20 years by 3.3 bushels/acre. “When we have good management skills and use modern genetics and equipment, we can make some real progress. We’ve also gotten some pretty good no-till yields. The top producer of no-till shelled corn is David Wolfskill of Berks County, with 270.5 bu/acre. Wolfskill grew Dekalb DKC64-69 following soybeans. Wolfskill was also recognized as the three-year champion no-till producer with a 273.2 bu/acre average over three years. Michael Eckert, Chester County, was the top producer of tilled, shelled corn with 225.3 bu/acre. Eckert grew
Hubner H5555 following soybeans. The champion three-year average tilled shelled corn producer is Linda Krall of Lebanon County. Krall’s three-year average yield is 234.2 bu/acre. Mike Reskovac, president of the Pennsylvania Corn Growers Association, says the organization helped growers through sessions at Ag Progress Days. He also said the association will become more involved in policy-making and state executive meetings. The group will be represented by a delegate at the upcoming National Corn Growers Congress in Nashville. Del Voight, Penn State grain crop specialist who serves on the state soybean board as an educational member, noted that 2011 was a tough year. “Despite all of the anomalies, we had an average yield of 73.98 bu/acre. That’s pretty tremendous for the year we just went through.” Voight noted this is even more of an accomplishment because the seed drop has decreased. “Usually it’s about 180,000, and now it’s down to 167,000 plants/acre. To maintain yields with that drop validates some of the research that’s been going on.” Voight recognized members of the 80bushel club: Burnell Nolt, who grew 80.72 bu/acre of Asgrow 4130; Jim
(L-R) - Linda Krall (Lebanon County), champion shelled corn three-year average; Robert Rook (Bucks County), second place tilled shelled corn producer; and John Frederick and son (Bucks County), third place tilled corn three-year average.

Farmers speak out on 2012 Farm Bill — New York family farmers travel to Washington, D.C. WASHINGTON, D.C. — Christina Davis of Middle Granville, NY, wasn’t always a farmer, but you wouldn’t know that to hear how passionately she speaks about food and agriculture. On Tuesday and Wednesday, March 6-7, she joined nearly 30 other independent family farmers and ranchers, including Kevin Jablonski, also of New York, from 17 states to speak out on how the upcoming federal Farm Bill has the potential to have a major impact on New York’s economy and the fate of farming, production and commerce across the nation. As Congress continues work on the 2012 Farm Bill, farmers from California to New York have their livelihoods at stake as the programs they use and value face grave budget cuts in Congress. Funding for
crucial Farm Bill programs they’re defending in Washington is included in the Local Farms, Food, and Jobs Act and the Beginning Farmer and Rancher Opportunity Act, bills intended for inclusion in the 2012 Farm Bill that are currently pending in Congress. Davis, who coordinates a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program at Kilpatrick Family Farm, describes the opportunity to head to Washington and speak directly with her elected representatives about farming as “a dream come true.” She says, “I think democracy is alive and well, and I think my story is important to tell.” Kevin Jablonski of Maple Ave Farms, which produces Sun Fed Beef in Earlville, NY, is another of the farmers traveling to Washington with Davis.
His pasture-raised Angus beef operation is a third-generation venture and a case study in natural, pasture-based animal husbandry. Federal rural development programs, he says, can help support and adapt farming operations to a more sustainable and profitable model by providing better support for processing, marketing and distribution. “I look at our rural communities and see that we need community-based economic development,” Jablonski said, “One of the ways we can make that happen is to support midsize farms.” Davis was taken on as an apprentice by the Kilpatricks at a time when she was out of work, and it was through her work on the farm that she discovered her passion for local, sustainably
produced food. She testifies to her first-hand experience of the power of good food to build community and nurture local economies. “Food is important, Davis explains, “and we all have to eat.” Since working on the farm, Davis has also founded the From Scratch Club, a community of women in the Capital Region dedicated to connecting around food. Davis and Jablonski’s trip is being sponsored by the National Sustainable Agriculture Coalition. The National Sustainable Agriculture Coalition is a grassroots alliance that advocates for federal policy reform supporting the long-term social, economic, and environmental sustainability of agriculture, natural resources, and rural communities.
by Tamara Scully A decade of experience and experiment has led Hannelie and Werner Rheeder on a few wild goose chases. As they’ve worked to grow Churutabis Farm from a 4-H project to a fullfledged family business, they’ve been open to suggestion, willing to try something new, and quick to change course when needed. Today, the farm’s meat and eggs are sold directly to consumers at several area farmers’ markets, and they reach upscale New York City-area chefs via a locally-based meat distributor, Fossil Farms. Guinea hens, two types of ducks, layer and broiler chicken, a flock of turkey, meat rabbits, geese, a few hogs, a herd of goats and working border collies have all ruled the roost at the Rheeder’s Churutabis Farm, located in Sussex County, New Jersey. Hannelie Rheeder, a native of South Africa, loves not only the diversity of the livestock, but that of the people who seek out Churutabis Farm for certain meats — like the Boer goats, or the rabbit, or duck — that play prominent roles in the food heritage of various cultures. “Every year is different,” Hannelie said of the animals being raised on the farm. “I like to raise something different than what is usually raised.” Stocking the farm Each year, the Rheeders purchase chicks and ducks, which begin arriving in early March. One hundred Red Cross broilers will be the first to arrive for the 2012 season. After three weeks, these broilers are ready to go out onto pasture, where a moveable chicken tractor — similar to a wood-framed high-tunnel — is pulled to fresh grass as needed. Five hundred other chicks and ducks will arrive next, in early April, and new batches will follow every three weeks, keeping a constant supply of finished animals available. Rouen duck, Muscovy duck, and broiler chicken will be raised and processed regularly throughout the year, until December. Guinea hens are a October -December seasonal menu item, raised to supply a New York City restaurant. Black Spanish turkeys will be a new addition to the farm this season, and last year’s addition of rabbits will be increased to meet the demand. Egg layers include Golden Comet and Rhode Island Red chickens, and Golden White and Khaki Campbell ducks. The Rheeders are expanding their flock of Golden White layers in order to keep up with the increased demand for duck eggs. Laying hens are free-ranged, surrounded by a moveable electric fence, during the day. At night, they roost in a moveable chicken coop. “When the older flocks stop laying eggs, we make them available as stewing hens, a product that is not available anywhere in a store,” Hannelie said. Rabbits here are raised in suspended cages in the barn. But this season, the Rheeders will be able to pasturefinish the rabbits. Flemish Giants, Californians and New Zealanders are
fed a mixture of 16 percent protein, along with hay, twice each day. “Rabbits are high in protein and low in cholesterol, and a very tasty meat,” Hannelie said. Last season the majority went to the restaurant market, but whenever they had extra rabbit meat for the farmers’ market crowd, they sold out. The ducks — both Muscovy and Rouen, a French breed known for its dark meat — are primarily raised for the restaurant market. The Rouen was initially raised by special request, for a specific chef. It is a rare breed, considered endangered by the American Livestock Breeds Conservancy, and needs to be carefully raised to prevent leg problems as the ducks mature. In total, 1,000 ducks are raised on the farm each season. The ducks are pastured, in moveable pens, but need a bit more attention and care than the chickens require. “They need to have water always, not to swim so much, but to constantly drink,” Hannelie said. They need “a tremendous amount of water to survive.” The ducks are fed a 20 percent grow ration, which is switched to 18 percent after three weeks, to reduce the probability of leg problems as they grow. The ducks are ready for market at about 10 weeks. All of the animals are slaughtered and processed at a small facility nearby, one of the few available for area poultry farmers. Direct marketing The Rheeders enjoy teaching others about their livestock. At farmers’ markets, they take the opportunity to answer questions about their practices, and to correct some misconceptions about farm animals. They also host farm tours for the chefs who use their meats. “People older than I am think that you need a rooster to get eggs, or little kids think that one chicken lays two or three eggs per day,” Hannelie said, stating some common examples of the lack of education about farming and food, which she encounters regularly. Chefs, too, benefit from a direct connection with the farm. “I do see the chefs twice per year, when they visit the farm with Fossil Farms,” Hannelie said. The distributor brings the chefs out to the farm to see where and how the meats they use on their menus are raised. “I have had as many as 25 chefs here for some visits.” The Rheeders themselves have learned a lot from their farming experiences. They have raised geese for a large corporation, on a per bird basis, and found that the time and labor needed to do so was not worth the money they made. The Rheeders will add geese to the farm again in 2012, with a small flock of less than one dozen. The plan is to use the geese to weed a field in need of renovation. They have stopped raising some animals, such as the Boer goats, based on cost effectiveness and market demands, and started raising others for the same reason. They will be

experimenting this season with a few hogs, utilizing a silvopasture model. The hogs should help remove invasive plants, uproot small bushes and aerate the tree roots as they forage along the forest floor. The breed is yet to be decided, but they are opting for a heritage breed well-suited to this type of environment.
Churutabis Farm has earned a stellar reputation for naturally raising a variety of poultry destined for the upscale restaurant market in nearby New York City, as well as for area residents wishing to forego commerciallyraised chicken and eggs, or to try some more exotic types of meat from a trusted, local small livestock farm.

Editor, A letter from Sam’s Club, one of the largest food retailers in the country, is circulating among members of our local board of agriculture. Seems that they are seeking minority and women owned farms to do business with as part of their diversity program. I guess that Sam’s feels that this is the “politi-
cally correct” thing to do. But wouldn’t it be a better strategy to simply buy from the farms that grow the best stuff? Personally, when I buy a tomato it makes no difference to me as to the gender or race of the farmer who grew it. How old-fashioned of me. Huh? Michael Garrett, Shale Hills Farm, Sussex, NJ

Keys to dairy success in the next 10 years by Sally Colby What is your objective in the dairy business? Dr. Bruce Jones, professor of agricultural economics at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, addressed this question in the opening presentation of the 2012 Dairy Summit held recently in Lancaster, PA. The answer to that question is “To maximize profit, to make money,” said Jones, “subject to some constraints.” Jones explained that constraints include biological (cow’s production limits), labor, land availability at a reasonable price, financial capita and risk tolerance - how much risk are we willing to take? “We have to figure out the best way to achieve our profit objective - that’s what management is,” said Jones. “Objectives must be both meaningful and achievable - we have to know industry and know what we have to do to get return on our money comparable to other dairies.” Jones says that dairy producers must continually determine how they stack up against the market to see if they can acquire the resources needed to stay in business. He added that it’s essential to have a standardized information system that can be used to evaluate your own performance against the industry, the sector and the economy. “There is no substitute for accounting,” he said. “If you’re going to be successful, you have to be willing to be measured. But you don’t have to be your own accountant -
you have more important things to do.” Jones says that farmers shouldn’t necessarily be the ones who keep the books, but make sure they analyze the books. “The profit-maximizing manager is always asking ‘what returns can be gained from the use of one additional unit of input<None>’,” said Jones. “If we make one little change, what might happen? Any time I can commit one more unit of input to the production process and get something more than the cost of that input, I’ll do it. A profit-maximizing manager is always looking to go right to the max and squeeze the last bit of profit or efficiency from the production process.” Jones provided two profit-maximizing examples, starting with $6.00 corn in 2008. “We had people in the dairy science department asking if we could afford to feed high-priced corn,” he said. “The counter was, ‘can you afford not to?’ We looked at the price of milk and the price of corn and said, ‘even when corn is expensive, the production response we get from feeding corn more than covers it.’” Another example is using corn silage as a forage source. “Corn silage yields at a very high rate,” said Jones. “If it yields at a very high rate, you can get your forage production requirement satisfied with fewer acres. If you can use fewer acres for forage, you can use the excess acreage to produce a high-value crop such as corn. We can actually make more money in

Dr. Bruce Jones, ag economist at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, challenged dairy producers to consider the keys to success in dairy in the coming years. Photo by Sally Colby terms of meeting production needs of the cow as well as the handling the cropping activities of the operation.” Producers must decide whether they want to produce commodities or specialized products. “Most people in the farming business are producers of commodities,” he said. “The people who are going to survive in a commodity market are the low-cost producers.” In contrast, producers who choose to enter specialty markets such as organic have had great success, but have higher costs due to regulations. “People are making money making organic milk,” said Jones. “But they have to convince the consuming public that this organic product is different and worth the premium.” Dairy farmers must be aware of whether or not a supply control policy will likely be employed in the dairy industry, and decide where they stand on this policy debate. “A supply control policy limits the amount of milk that will be produced,” said Jones. “Supply control will preserve the status quo, and there will be a ceiling for anyone who is trying to innovate and grow.” For producers who have already expanded, supply control will ensure that there is no competition to face. But producers who still want the option to expand and incorporate the next generation will have to deal with anti-supply control. Jones explained that restrictions on production practices in our systems are costs that determine the competitive position of dairy producers in both domestic and international markets. When a state, region or country puts in
restrictions for production practices, those producers at a competitive disadvantage to other producers who aren’t facing those same regulations. Jones reminds producers that society decides how commercial agriculture will be allowed to produce goods. “As we keep putting restrictions on producers, more costs are in the system and producers are at a competitive disadvantage in the world marketplace,” he said. “Society will pay more for food products. We have to make sure everyone understands that regulations and restrictions on production practices are costs on all consumers as well as producers.” In closing, Jones said that although analysis and planning do not guarantee success, lack of analysis and planning nearly guarantees problems, if not failure. He advises dairy farmers to be mindful of how to maximize profits and figure out ways to overcome resource constraints that will allow prosperity and success. Jones also advises farmers to continually benchmark their operations against the industry, keeping an eye on what others are doing in terms of dairy improvement, milk production, turnover, herd health and calving interval. “At some point, analysis has to stop and decisions have to be made,” said Jones. “I like to call it analysis paralysis - we can look at the financial analysis, but eventually we have to make decisions. Some people keep poring over reports and look at numbers because they’re trying to avoid the decision. Good managers know that they have to ulti-

Corn disease and insect management among topics at Central NY Corn Day by Elizabeth A.Tomlin The 2012 Central NY Corn Day was held on Feb. 14 at the Otesaga Hotel in Cooperstown, NY. Presentations by other speakers were discussed in the March 5 issue of Country Folks. Dr. Gary C. Bergstrom, of Cornell University’s Department of Plant Pathology and Plant-Microbe Biology, spoke to attendees about corn disease management through use of crop rotation, resistant/tolerant hybrids, foliar fungicides, tillage, and traditional integrated pest management (IPM). Dr. Bergstrom also informed participants about a new disease, Goss’s Bacterial Wilt and Leaf Blight, which, although it has not yet been detected in New York State, is moving east from the midwest. Although this disease is not insect-transmitted, like Stewart’s Wilt, this bacterial disease is both seedborne and seed transmitted. Fungicides are ineffective on Goss’s Wilt, as the disease is caused by bacteria and not by fungus. Bacteria responsible for Goss’s Bacterial Wilt and Leaf Blight may winter over in infested crop residue. Bergstrom talked about specific management practices of common fungal leaf blights and mold situations in New York State, especially by the use of rotation, hybrid resistant, and in some cases, uses of fungicides. “Timing is everything!” Bergstrom stressed. Bergstrom reported that in addition to “ear rot,” and other ear molds, Northern Corn Leaf Blight has also developed in New York and the northeast due to the wet weather patterns and conditions this past year. “The fungus survives in infected corn residue,” Bergstrom said. “So the more disease incidence in a given year, the more spores are carried over to the next year.” Bergstrom explained that many corn diseases live in infected residue, reinfecting the next corn crop — and are generally crop specific. Farmers are able to “break the cycle” of the fungus by rotating corn with a soybean crop. Bergstrom presented charts with information as to what fungicides are registered for use in New York State. A ‘Corn Insect & Pest Management Update’ was presented by Cornell University State Livestock and Field Crop IPM Specialist Ken Wise. Information included updates on new 2011 sightings of the Western Bean Cutworm (WBC) and Brown Marmorated Stink Bugs (BMSB). Both are invasive to corn and other produce and both have been found in New York State. “They have not caused an economic problem yet, but, they are building a population in western New York,” said Wise. WBC moth’s peak flight is noted to be around Aug. 2. Females reportedly lay their eggs on the upper surface of the flag leaf. Eggs appear in tight clumps of about 55 to up to 200. They are nearly round, white changing to
deep purple a day or two before hatching. Newly hatched larvae are a dull orange in color with a black head and a black hardened plate immediately behind the head and 8-10 spots on each body segment. Larvae feed on corn pollen, tassels, silks, the tips of the developing ears, and kernels — and may even travel to adjacent plants causing serious damage. Larvae feed for about 35 days. Unlike corn earworms, WBC larvae are not cannibalistic and multiple larvae will feed on each ear. Ears infested with over 20 larvae have been documented. Wise reported that infestations such as this might result in up to 50-60 percent of loss in corn yield. “The other factor,” Wise acknowledged, “is it creates an opportunity for fungi to get inside of the ear, causing fungal infections.” Larvae over-winter deep in the soil inside protective earthen cocoons. As soil temperature increases, the larvae pupate and emerge in early summer. The fully developed WBC caterpillar is less than 2 inches long and has two broad brown stripes on the collar, distinguishing it from other caterpillars found in corn. Mature moths are less than an inch long and are distinguished from common miller moths by a cream colored bar on the leading edge of the forewing. Wise said the WBC seems to be established both in western New York and in the northern part of the state. The Brown Marmorated Stink Bug (BMSB) is “a true bug,” according to Wise. Natives of Asia, they were first documented in Pennsylvania, in 1996, and have firmly established themselves in the Hudson Valley. Most

recently found in western and central New York, they invade houses and commercial buildings in the fall and hibernate over winter. They feed by using a proboscis to pierce fruits, plants, and corn kernels and sucking out the juice. They are a serious pest to young fruit crops and can abort young fruit and seeds. According to Wise, “Corn is most susceptible to stink bug injury during ear formation when the bugs will pierce through the sheath.” Corn kernels will fail to develop and soybeans are also susceptible to this agricultural pest. CCE CNY Field Crop Specialist Kevin Ganoe and CCE CNY Dairy & Field Crop Team member Mark Schmidt wrapped
up the day with an in-depth discussion on soil testing, corn stalk testing for measuring the effectiveness of nitrogen uptake and utilization in cornfield, and implementing the Precision Nitrogen Management tool, ‘Adapt-N.’ Adapt-N is an online tool, accessible from various mobile devices, which, according to Ganoe, has enabled farmers to precisely manage their nitrogen inputs for grain, silage and sweet corn. Through use of a “well-calibrated computer model” and “high-resolution weather information” based specifically for your farm and your field conditions, the program can potentially increase farm profits and reduce environmental impacts.

Crop Comments by Paris Reidhead Field Crops Consultant Early Spring Snow Spring snow is often called “poor man’s fertilizer”. About this time of year people start to look at their gardens and wish maybe they’d been a little more liberal with the fertilizer last year. But in most parts of the Northeast, fertilizer comes right out of the sky... at no cost. Many places the crocuses are up in the grass, which is getting green and then suddenly: yuck. A late spring snow makes everything white again. But last Wednesday, the last day of February, when the temperature hung around the freezing mark, downtown Hartwick got about eight inches of serious, mean-packing snow… the kind that makes Olympic-class snowpersons and snowballs. But old-timers have historically tried to find the silver lining behind the grey clouds, when the ground turns white in the spring. They call a late spring snow, “Poor Man’s Fertilizer”. But on Feb. 29, I decided to call it a late winter crystalline precipitation with spring-like characteristics... or early spring snow, for short. The old timers claimed that the late snowfall is good for the crops and helps everything green up. The old-timer weather wisdom likely is more than just folklore. Dr. John Avers, a professor at the University of New Hampshire in the department of natural resources thinks he knows what might be going on. Avers says that snow contains nutrients in addition to lots of moisture. And if that snow falls on ground that’s not frozen, as it would be in late spring, then the nutrients and moisture in that snow can penetrate into the soil and actually do some good for the plants that will be growing very soon. Asked what nutrients snow contains, Avers replied that it contains nitrogen (N), and these days even more N than it used to because of acid rain (although not all re-
(Contact: renrock46@hotmail.com)
gions have acid rain issues). The content of nitrogen and sulfur and some other elements has increased over the last several decades and has been considered a problem in terms of acidification of soils. But, in soils that we use for gardens and lawns, usually there’s a shortage of nitrogen and that input can be helpful. So when it snows in the spring, some of us may feel cursed, or at least like we’re adrift on an ice flow. But fluffy snows landing on green grass may be a blessing. Whether falling on your daffodils in April, or on your jack-olanterns in late October, snow contains nutrients which benefit plants and soil. Back to old-timers again, many made a point of plowing their fields right after a spring
storm. Nitrogen of course is the primary nutrient we’re talking about, and it’s not just in snow, but rain as well. Studies have shown rain actually has a higher proportion of nitrogen, but even moderate rain tends to quickly saturate soil and run off. Snow gets the top billing because it melts gradually, and it theoretically feeds nutrients slowly to the ground beneath. As every school kid knows, the atmosphere is 78 percent nitrogen gas (N2), which is a couplet, or a compound made up of two bonded nitrogen atoms. Most assume the N2 is what comes down to the ground in precipitation, but that’s not quite right. Nitrogen exists in numerous forms, and N2 isn’t directly usable by

plants. It needs to be first converted, or “fixed” into mineralized nitrogen forms. For that matter, what we call “organic” nitrogen, the nitrogen in organic material, crop residue, and animal waste (urea or manure) also needs to be converted before it can be taken up by plants. Many natural processes are at work in our environment, fixing and transforming nitrogen. Manmade processes are a major factor too. Industrial fertilizer production, i.e., the process by which nitrogen gas and hydogen are fixed to form ammonia, has become a significant part of the planet’s complex nitrogen cycle. Getting back to snow and rain, it’s not N2 per se which is captured, but rather suspended nitrogen compounds like nitrogen oxides, nitric acid, and especially ammoniacal nitrogen (compounds with NH3). These compounds find their way into the atmosphere from the burning of fossil fuels. We believe that since the industrial revolution,
nitrogen content of precipitation has increased dramatically. Lightning produces significant quantities of nitric oxide. All of these nitrogen compounds (which are more immediately useful to plants than N2) are deposited on the soil at an estimated rate of 5-10 pounds actual N per acre, per year. The concentration of nitrogen in a given precipitation event varies. The compounds tend to accumulate in the air during dry periods, and then wash out in heavy or prolonged rains. Perhaps that’s why the grass looks particularly green when a thunderstorm breaks a summer dry spell: there’s the built-up concentration of atmosphere-emitted nitrogen, plus what’s produced by the lightning. To put it in perspective though, 5-10 pounds per acre of nitrogen from snow and rain is not much to a modern day farmer or gardener. Consider that a robust legume cover crop can biologically fix up to 300 pounds of nitrogen
per acre, and chemical fertilizer is applied at whatever rate soil tests call for. Poor man’s fertilizer indeed! Most crop people appreciate a freebie, but if the soil organic matter isn’t high enough to absorb the rain or snow carrying different forms of N, then there are other issues that need to be addressed. So on Feb. 29, for the second time this season, I started up the snowblower, which my sons gave me two winters ago. The machine labored through the heavy white material, including slimy slush. At one point the slush jammed the exit chute, requiring hot water to loosen it up to get things going again. If I hadn’t cleaned out the blockage, it would have soon frozen solid, as a cold front quickly followed the early spring snow. As I write, dawn broke this sunny Tuesday with the “mercury” at five degrees Fahrenheit. If any precipitation were falling right now, it wouldn’t be considered spring snow.

ing in the morning’s dawn. With all the snowmelts and rain we are having this February, the creek is running profusely. The snowfall is somewhat reduced this year, but I imagine the total precipitation is near normal, just in the form of rain, unusual for this time of year. The last few winters have taken their toll on the road out in front. All day and night we listen as vehicles hit the patched potholes of our old country road, desperately in need of resurfacing.

ised that it was on the docket to be resurfaced last year, but summer came and went. They must have lost the list. The whole road is becoming unbearable and I don’t think it’s because we aren’t paying enough in taxes. Speaking of taxes, we just received our town’s notice of the 2012 preliminary assessment. I nearly fell off my chair when I opened the letter and discovered that our assessment had almost doubled in one year and that was with no improvements. It said that we are now up from a 76 percent level of assessment to 100 percent. That just doesn’t add up. I guess we’ll have to make an appointment with the assessor and hear the increase justification. Last week we visited a lovely couple who are approaching their 68th year of marital bliss. It was obvious during this visit that they are very concerned with the direction that our great country is headed. All
that is going on in the world now pales everything they have lived through in the past. Knowing these folks, we know they are spending much time in prayer for their children and grandchildren’s future. On pricing farm diesel this week, we learned that it is up to where it was spring of 2008. So I checked back to see what had transpired later on that year and discovered that by election time the price had dropped down to half of what it was in the early spring. I hope we make it through this one. I guess we’d better not complain too much, because I just heard the other day that around two billion people living on earth still don’t have electricity. Our old house was wired back in 1920 and I can’t imagine life without it today. Look to the LORD and his strength; seek his face always.

A Few Words
Birds, potholes and taxes The other evening as the sun was setting, I heard a flock of geese passing overhead. The next day we saw a huge flock of snow geese rising up from a cornfield near the lake. This morning as I glanced out our east window a red sun rose slowly from behind the neighbor’s barn, and then I noticed a pair of red tail hawks perched in a big old poplar tree down by the pond. The bluebirds are fluttering around with their beautiful blue hue shin-

A View from Hickory Heights by Ann Swanson The School Cafeteria When a bunch of us got together at a party we had a lot of fun reminiscing. One of the topics that came up was the school cafeteria. When I taught there were three wonderful women who were in the kitchen. They cooked everything from scratch and it was wonderful. There was a huge mixer in the kitchen that they used when they made cookies. Cookies were not on the menu every day, but when they were you could smell them baking in the hallway. There was always a plate of cookies for the teachers. One time they received a shipment of fresh figs. They were to put them on the trays. Now, you and I both know that the young children were not about to eat those sticky brown things! I volunteered to take the figs home and
create a filling. When I brought the figs back to school they were embedded in cookies and everyone ate them. Then, there were the real turkey dinners. The ladies made good use of their time. There was never a dull moment. Just before Thanksgiving and Christmas the ladies cooked turkeys to make the turkey dinner. That allowed them time to remove it from the bones so that it was ready to serve. I do not think they used instant potatoes either. The cranberry sauce did come out of a can. Everyone bought the turkey dinners! They prepared things ahead to make the following day easier. At one school where I worked we had a world culture day. Those ladies in the cafeteria prepared foods from different countries for
the children to eat that day. We did not ask them to do that, they just volunteered so that they could be part of the celebration. I remember the cooks using ice cream scoops to keep the portions equal. In those days the children who bought their lunches ate almost everything. There were no free lunches, but the lunches were reasonably priced for everyone. They even served whole milk with chocolate, too. At the time my mother worked at a dairy. They bottled the school orders separately because it had to meet government standards for whole milk. The food was very good. The government no longer has surplus food to distribute to the schools. That ended quite a while ago. Things really began to run amuck when all of the packaged stuff made its way to the school cafeteria. Things out of the freezer do not beat what the ladies used to make on their own. Ketchup is not a vegetable. A juice drink does not take the place of milk or a piece of fruit.

In my mind the standards are too low. Mrs. Obama wants to regulate school lunches. Although her premise is not wrong, I think her efforts have fallen short. I read somewhere that she wanted to establish guidelines that would not allow lunches to be packed and brought from home. That would put all of our children at risk. Good eating cannot be legislated; it must be taught and modeled. At the beginning of the year when I taught kindergarten I explained to the children what healthy snacks were. We talked about our local farms and where the food came from. For the first week I modeled the foods that fit into the food groups. When I served raw vegetables straight from out garden I had none left over. All of the children ate; they simply chose what they liked best. It was the same with fruit. We sampled different types of apples that were grown locally. Crackers and cheese were a favorite. I had no trouble teaching the children, however, some of the parents were
very resistant. How I do wish that the schools would purchase more fresh food. Children need to know how food is produced. The farther children get removed from the farm the less understanding there is of agriculture. One of the benefits is that fresh
fruit/vegetables have far fewer calories than processed products. If we want to counter obesity we have to conquer our craving for highly processed food. Ann Swanson writes from her home in Russell, PA. Contact at hickoryheights1@verizon.net

If you have a fuel spill by James Carrabba, The New York Center for Agricultural Medicine & Health - NYCAMH Every year thousands of hazardous spills occur in New York. The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) annually receives reports of around 16,000 confirmed cases of releases into the environment. Approximately 90 percent of these releases are petroleum spills. Unfortunately, even a small spill has the po-
tential to harm the environment. It is very important to be prepared in case a fuel spill does occur at your farm. Many people may wonder if fuel spills need to be reported? In New York, there is a phone number to call in the event of a fuel or chemical spill. The number for the New York State Spill Hotline is 800-457-7362. According to NYSDEC regulations, all fuel spills and chemical spills must be reported to the NYS Spill Hotline within two hours of the spill occur-
ring, except for spills which meet all of the following criteria: 1. The quantity is known to be less than 5 gallons; and 2. The spill is contained and under the control of the spiller; and 3. The spill has not and will not reach the State’s water or any land; and 4. The spill is cleaned up within two hours of discovery. Furthermore, according to NYSDEC regulations, a spill is considered to have not impacted land if it occurs on a paved surface such as asphalt or concrete. A spill that occurs on a dirt or gravel parking lot is considered to have impacted land and is reportable. If in doubt, it is always better to report

all spills. The NYSDEC spill response team will come in and determine what needs to be done and will determine if a spill is minor or not. The initial response and cleanup may vary depending on the material spilled and the amount of damage done. In most cases, the clean up will have to be performed by a qualified contractor who will be hired by the responsible party. The NYSDEC Spill Response Team will determine what type of clean up actions will be required. Usually any delay in containing and cleaning a spill will result in more extensive damage with greater clean up expense. It is always better to actively prevent fuel spills, rather than hav-
ing to react to an emergency. Here is a list of some preventative steps you can take to prevent fuel spills: • Bulk fuel tanks must have containment walls designed to contain the amount of fuel in the tank should the tank walls fail. • Use only the proper U.L. approved portable fuel containers. Never store fuel in glass or plastic containers which can break or deteriorate and cause spills. • Store all fuel in a downhill location away from wells or water sources. • Once monthly inspect all fuel tanks and containers for leaks. Also check engines for signs of fuel leaks. • Have a spill containment plan in place in case you do have a spill, so that

New York City Food and Farm Bill Working Group asks farmers to answer online Farm Bill survey The Urban Rural Alliance Committee is a group within the New York City Food and Farm Bill Working Group. More information about their work can be found at foodbillnyc.wikispaces.com. March 6, 2012 Dear Farmer, Did you know that while you’re busy planning for the upcoming season and as soon as you’ve got your first rows of direct seeds and seedlings in the ground — organizations and individuals in New York City will be advocating for you? That’s right. The im-
portance of the upcoming Food and Farm Bill has not been lost on New Yorkers. The Food and Farm Bill is the single most important piece of federal legislation that impacts what farmers produce and affects what Americans eat. The New York City Food and Farm Bill Working Group has drafted the following documents: (1) The Food and Farm Bill: Why NYC Cares and (2) NYC Food and Farm Bill Principles. To date, more than 120 organizations, faithbased leaders, and high-

profile writers, educators, and chefs have signed-on to these declarations. And, nearly 700 individuals have endorsed these documents! And now we’re stepping up our efforts. We want you — the producer — to join our New York City voice! As immense as the Farm Bill is — weighing in at 234 billion dollars — it usually goes to a vote unnoticed by millions of Americans. We want to change that. Our advocacy is aimed at educating the public,
connecting organizations, and being heard by lawmakers. We want to make sure that Capitol Hill hears our demands for a healthy food system, from farming to eating. Our goal is to gather the signatures of 1,000 farmers that support our declarations by March 15. We know you’re busy preparing for the upcoming season but we hope you’ll join us in telling our legislators to: create a health-focused food system; protect the food safety net and end
hunger; restore competition, promote fairness, and encourage decentralization so that farms remain viable; protect our agricultural land and water resources; and build vibrant, regional farm and food economies. If you’re in agreement with us we ask that you sign on as a farmer by filling out the survey at: www.surveygizmo.com/s 3/714450/Sign-on-tothe-NYC-Food-andFarm-Bill-Principles. We are going to send a strong message to elected leaders BEFORE the

ca’s transportation network, the 6-year budget includes $305 billion to rebuild America’s roads and bridges, a 34 percent increase over the previous authorization. The new budget also reaffirms Secretary LaHood’s strong commitment to maintaining the highest safety standards for Americans traveling by any mode of transportation. While road, transit, and air travel are currently the safest they have ever been in America, the Department will build on previous successes to make them even safer. To accomplish that goal, the budget provides nearly $30 billion over the next six years for surface transportation safety programs, an increase of 137 percent over the previous authorization. This includes $330 million over six years for the Department’s ongoing campaign against distracted driving. The Administration’s budget also prioritizes research, innovative programs, and technological solutions to address our transportation challenges and ensure that America remains competitive in the global marketplace.

New York Pork Producer's Annual Meeting The New York Pork Producer’s Annual Meeting will be held on Saturday, March 24, at the Holiday Inn Waterloo/Seneca Falls, 2468 New York State Route 414, Waterloo, NY. Registration begins at 9 a.m. and the program begins at 9:30 a.m. In 2007, Pork Quality Assurance evolved into Pork Quality Assurace Plus (PQA Plus) to reflect increasing customer and consumer interest in the way food animals are raised. PQA Plus was built as a continuous improvement program. Maintaining its food safety tradition to ensure that U.S. pork products continue to be recognized domestically and internationally as the highest quality and safest available, it also provides information to ensure producers can measure, track and continuously improve animal wellbeing. With PQA Plus, pork producers have another tool to demonstrate that they are socially responsible. The PQA Plus program achieves its goals through: • Producer training by a certified PQA Plus advisor which results in the producer receiving PQA Plus certification • An objective assessment of on-farm animal well-being which, when combined with the education of the producer through PQA Plus certification,
results in the farm receiving PQA Plus site status. • A PQA Plus survey designed to evaluate the implementation of PQA Plus in the industry. Survey results are used to identify opportunities for improvement of the program’s information and delivery. The New York Pork Producers along with National Pork Board will be doing a PQA PLUS Certification Producer Training Session during the annual meeting on Saturday March 24. This will be held at the Waterloo Holiday Inn at 2468 NYS Rte 414, Waterloo, NY 13165. You can pre-register and receive a Bonus ticket toward the door prize that will be raffled off. A complimentary full lunch will be provided to all who attend. Please note there is no cost to attend this training event. The New York Pork Producers will be holding their annual business meeting after lunch and all producers are encouraged to participate. There will be a Silent Auction to benefit the Youth Scholarship Program throughout the day. For more information and to preregister contact the New York Pork Producers, Krista Jaskier at e-mail: NewYorkPorkProducers@yahoo.com, phone: 716-697-3031.

The sowing of seeds George and Julie Holmes of Trumansburg, NY, have spent 19 winters in the Eastern Europe country of Albania. They do short term missionary work for 3 months in that former athestic country. They
minister in eight rural villages around the capital city of Tirana. They do Bible Studies, children’s meetings, door to door evangelism, In their spare time they work in an English school and spending time with or-
phan babies. It has been a very cold winter this year in Albania — the coldest and the most snow in 25 years. Many towns were isolated for weeks. Helicopters brought food and feed for the animals up
to mountain villages. This weather gave the village a challenge. Each winter over 15,000 packets of flower and vegetable seeds are hand carried to the country. Those seeds are broken down into family George and Julie Holmes of Trumansburg, NY
seed packets — enough seeds to grow a nice family garden. Over 2,400 family seed packets were made up and distributed to 23 villages. Some were given to missionaries to hand out in their villages. With poor economic conditions, high unemployment and high food prices, a garden is very important this year. Small hot frames and little greenhouses are seen near village homes. They start plants in there and then transfer the plant to a large garden area. This winter George and Julie had a group of three join the ministry for 2 weeks. They worked in the villages and shadowed other work. They all went home with a new perspective on missions work in Albania. The Christian Albanian SOWERS Team will continue the village work as the Holmes’ return home at the end of March to resume farming. Holmes’ are available to do a church or civic presentation on Albania and the ongoing missions work. Please feel free to telephone in the evening at 607-387-6538.
There will be a meeting of the Oneida County Graziers group on Thursday, March 22, at the Cornell Cooperative Extension Building from 11 a.m.-3 p.m. This is
the group’s annual meeting to begin the year to discuss grazing topics and set in motion its plan to host pasture walks, this meeting is open to anyone interest-
ed in grazing. The guest speakers will be Bill Badgley — nutritionist with Whitmans Feed Company and Wally Sheffer a grazier from the Albany area. Bill brings many years of working with graziers and is very proactive about what grazing can do for a farms’ bottom line. Wally and his son Eric started a milking grazing dairy within the last five years. They not only graze the milking cows but also most of the youngstock. Bill and Wally will talk

about their experiences and how it affects the bottom line of the farm. Bring your questions as they are open to answering all that they can. We will also be talking about what we can do this summer as grain prices and corn in particular rise, and what options we have. We already have pasture walks set up for September and November in the county and a pasture walk for this spring at a farm in Livingston County with a 25,000 pound grazing herd average. Jeff Miller will also be on hand to help answer any questions the group may have on frost seeding, no-till seeding, fertilizer rates,
weed questions and forage improvement. The Oneida County graziers group holds meetings throughout the spring and summer, these meetings are open to anyone who wants to learn more about rotational grazing. Rotational grazing is a system where farmers are using grass as a resource to harvest a high quality forage (25 percent or higher in protein) without the cost of equipment or fuel. As grain, fuel and other inputs increase, pasture can be an economical option in feeding dairy cows, replacements, and other livestock. Grazing is also a requirement of organic standards. There
is no fee for this meeting and lunch will be provided. The only thing that is asked is that you call in with reservations to make sure we have enough seating by March 16. Please direct all calls to Bill Paddock of Oneida County SWCD at 315-736-3334 or by email at william-paddock@oneidaswcd.org . This meeting is sponsored by the following groups: Oneida County Soil & Water Conservation District, Oneida County Cooperative Extension, and ANCA (Adirondack North Country Association). If you have any questions feel free to contact Bill Paddock at the above number or e-mail.

Home,, Family,, Friendss & You Celebrate St. Patrick’s Day with corned beef and cabbage by Diane Mincher, Extension Nutrition and Food Specialist, University of Vermont On St. Patrick’s Day, serve the traditional meal of corned beef and cabbage. The slow cooker is the perfect way to go for this traditional dish since it must bubble away untended for hours. Corned beef is typically made from the brisket or round that has been cured with a seasoned brine. It has about the same nutritional value as other forms of beef. A three-ounce serving contains 210 calories. Traditionally, corned beef is served with steamed or stewed vegetables, which do not add too many calories. However, if you use the leftovers for sandwiches, the rich dressing and bread will add significant additional calories. On its own, corned beef is a naturally low-carbohydrate food containing zero calories from fiber, sugar or other carbohydrates. This food is a good source of protein, vitamin B-12, zinc and selenium but is high in saturated fat, cholesterol and sodium. Remember to limit the size of your meat portion to three ounces so that it covers only one-quarter of your plate. Trim any visible fat away before eating. Here’s a favorite corned beef recipe to make for St. Patrick’s Day or any time.
Slow-cooker corned beef and cabbage 4 c. hot water 2 Tbsp. cider vinegar 2 Tbsp. sugar 1/2 tsp. freshly ground pepper 1 large or 2 medium onions, cut into wedges 5 carrots, peeled and cut into 3-inch pieces
1 3-lb. corned beef round or brisket with spice packet 8 small white or yellow potatoes, scrubbed and cut into quarters 1 head of green cabbage (about 1 1/2 lbs.), cored and cut into 10 wedges In a 6-quart electric slow cooker, combine the water, vinegar, sugar, pepper and onions, mixing well. Place the corned beef in the mixture. Scatter the potatoes and carrots over the top and along the sides. Cover and cook on the “High” heat setting for 4 hours. Remove the lid and scatter the cabbage wedges over the top. Cover and continue cooking on “High” for 3 to 4 hours or longer until the beef is tender. To serve, carve the beef into slices and serve with the cabbage, potatoes and carrots. Makes 6 to 8 servings.

Easy corned beef hash Corned beef is usually brisket that has been brined, but may be another cut of beef. It’s minced into small pieces, along with spices and other ingredients. Corned beef is traditionally used in Eastern European, Irish and Jewish cooking. You can add in a cup of shredded cabbage and carrots when you add in the potatoes, if desired. 2 teaspoons vegetable oil 2 teaspoons butter 1 large onion, chopped 4 cups diced cooked potatoes, or frozen hashbrown potatoes
1 cup chopped lean corned beef brisket (4 ounces) 1/2 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth 1 tablespoon prepared horseradish or hot sauce 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley or basil 1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 4 large eggs (optional) 1. In a large cast-iron or heavy-bottomed skillet, heat oil and butter over medium-high heat. Add onion and saute until it starts to soften and caramelizes, 5 to 8 minutes. Add potatoes and cook, stirring, until they brown in spots and become crusty, about 8 minutes more. 2. Stir in corned beef, broth, horseradish or hot sauce, and Worcestershire sauce, and cook, scraping up any browned bits, until liquid is absorbed, 5 to 8 minutes. 3. Add parsley or basil, and season with salt and pepper. If serving the Hash for breakfast, break 4 eggs, one at a time, on top of hash in skillet; cover, and cook just until whites are set but the yolks are still runny, about 10 minutes. Use a spatula to divide among four plates. Serve with some fresh fruit for breakfast, or a salad for dinner.

ROASTED CORN & SOYBEANS FOR SALE TRY ROASTED CORN AND SOYBEANS AND DISCOVER THE DIFFERENCE! Higher Digestibility - Research studies show that roasted corn is more digestible than raw corn. • Energy levels increased by 30% with roasted corn. • Roasted corn has gelatinized starch just like steam flaked corn but is less costly to produce. • If your fecal starch levels are above 2.3% roasted corn will increase profitablility. • Most dairymen are feeding 10% less roasted corn than raw dry corn. • Some dairymen are seeing an increase in BF. Purer Feed - Flame roasting can effectively remove mold spores and reduce toxin levels that are harmful to livestock, swine and poultry. • Better herd health.

Mielke from B1 adding to current cheese production,” it said, but retailers are featuring increased cheese ads in many parts of the country. “This is helping to clear inventories,” according to USDA, and increased pizza sales and retail features have combined to support Mozzarella sales. Buyers looking to build stocks for aging programs are also showing better interest. Excess production is being offered to the export market. Cooperatives Working Together (CWT) accepted 20 requests for export assistance this week to sell a total of 2.489 million pounds of Cheddar, Gouda and Monterey Jack cheese and 3.053 million pounds of butter to customers in Asia, Central America, the Middle East and North Africa. The product will be delivered through June and raised 2012 cheese exports to 26.9 million pounds and butter to 23 million to 16 countries. That’s a pretty good amount of cheese to remove from the domestic market. Cash butter saw some ups and downs, gaining almost 7 cents on Thursday after dropping 2 1/4
on Monday, but gave some back Friday to close at $1.45, up 3 1/4 on the week but 66 3/4cents below a year ago when butter jumped almost a dime on the week and hit $2.1175. It peaked May 26 at $2.18. Eighteen cars found new homes on the week. NASS butter averaged $1.4192, down 2.2 cents. Butter made before December 1, 2011, is no longer eligible to trade on the CME. Easter/ Passover demand is likely strengthening the price however butter production is heavy across the country as cream supplies remain plentiful and building, according to USDA. Demand for both bulk and print butter is fair to good. There have been some increases in cream usage in Class II manufacturing for ice cream, sour cream, cream cheese, and dips, ahead of the upcoming holiday needs. This is taking additional cream supplies and is a welcome reprieve for butter makers says USDA’s Dairy Market News. Cash Grade A nonfat dry milk inched a halfcent lower, slipping to $1.2875.

closed at $1.2775, down 2 cents. NASS powder averaged $1.3681, up a half-cent, and dry whey averaged 61.13 cents, down 2.9 cents. Dairy profitability took a hit in February, according to Dairy Profit Weekly (DPW), based USDA’s latest Ag Prices report which indicated some stark contrasts between the earning power of milk cows and the cash value of cull cows. Higher corn, soybean and high prices, combined with lower U.S. average milk prices, sent the February 2012 milkfeed price ratio to its low-
est level since July 2009, according to DPW. The index, at just 1.58, was down from January revised estimate of 1.72, and February 2011’s 2.01. The index is based on the current milk price in relationship to feed prices for a ration of 51 percent corn, 8 percent soybeans and 41 percent alfalfa hay. At $17.90 per cwt., the average milk price is the lowest in 13 months. Compared to July 2009, the February 2012 index got this low in a slightly different manner, according to DPW, markedly higher
feed costs. In 2009, the 1.57 index came about from a milk price of just $11.30 per cwt. Rising feed costs and declining milk prices are expected to result in Milk Income Loss Contract (MILC) payments in 2012 according to the CME’s Daily Dairy Report. It quoted estimates from the University of Wisconsin’s Dr. Brian Gould, who says MILC payments could range from 44 cents in March to almost $1.00 per cwt in June based upon estimated milk and feed costs. Meanwhile; February 2012 cull cow (beef and
dairy combined) prices rose above $80 per cwt., likely the highest on record, according to USDA’s preliminary estimates. February prices averaged $80.10 per cwt., up $5.50 from January 2012’s revised estimate of $74.60, and $7.60 per cwt. higher than February 2011. The February 2012 average puts the beef value of a 1,200-pound cull cow at $961 per head. USDA also said replacement cows averaged $1,420 per head in 2011, up about $90 from 2010.

Mielke from B2 Dairy farmers in 14 southeastern states have until May 1 to file claims for a portion of the $145 million settlement agreement with Dean Foods and the Southern Marketing Agency. DPW editor, Dave Natzke, reported in Friday’s DairyLine that “The settlement, approved in a federal classaction antitrust lawsuit over fluid milk marketing practices, means more than 7,000 dairy farmers may be eligible for a financial award, prorated based on their milk production total.” Attorneys’ fees are expected to take about a third of the settlement, according to Natzke. Procedures are posted at www.southeastdairyclass.com. The trial date for remaining defendants; Dairy Farmers of America, National Dairy Holdings, LP (NDH), Dairy
Marketing Services, LLC (DMS), Mid-Am Capital, LLC (Mid-Am), and Gary Hanman, former DFA CEO, is July 10. Natzke also addressed the disparity between milk prices in California, which has its own state market order, and prices paid in federal market orders covering most of the rest the country. The California Department of Food and Agriculture, which denied recent petitions to consider changes to milk pricing formulas, has now scheduled meetings in March and April between processors and farmers to discuss those and other issues, Natzke reported. All meetings will be held in Sacramento. For more information, visit www.cdfa.ca.gov/ dairy/meetings.html. Milk production continues to trend higher

across most of the U.S., according to USDA. Class I interest is mainly flat with accounts taking planned volumes of fluid milk. Processors and handlers are seeing unusually heavy milk supplies in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic states. The Southeast is also seeing milk output build and the seasonal balancing plants are active. Milk supplies in the Midwest are building on a week-to-week basis. Surplus offerings are
available and continue to trade at a discount to Class price. Milk output continues to build in the Southwest and stretch plant capacity in Arizona and California. Northwest and Mountain States production is building higher with better than normal weather a contributing factor. In dairy politics; the International Dairy Foods Association reports that the largest 1,750 dairy farms now supply more than 50
percent of the U.S. milk supply, according to a new USDA report. One third of the farms, about 19,400 that have fewer than 30 cows, produce only 1 percent of the milk supply. Entitled “Farms, Land in Farms and Livestock Operations 2011,” the report shows that dairy farms with fewer than 100 cows have declined in number and that larger farms with more than 1,000 cows are increasing in size, num-
bers and percentage of milk production. IDFA’s Jerry Slominski said that “No one should be surprised by these numbers as the decline of small farms and the trend to larger dairy farms has been going on for decades,” but he adds; “What will surprise most people is that the bill endorsed by the House and Senate agriculture leadership, Democrats and Republi-

Mielke from B10 cans, will actually increase the rate at which small farms are going out of business.” He charged that “It’s pretty easy to see how the small farms will get squeezed out of business faster by this new govern-
ment program,” and said “The solution is to offer dairy farmers the same opportunity for catastrophic and revenue insurance that is being offered to other farmers. Congress expects to spend $90 billion over the
next 10 years on such insurance programs for other commodities but refuses to budget any of this for dairy farmers.” Details are posted at www.idfa.org. Meanwhile; 26 local, state, and national or-
ganizations sent a letter in early February to members of Congress, calling on them to take immediate action in response to the crisis affecting dairy farmers. Paul Rozwadowski, Wisconsin dairy farmer

and chair of the National Family Farm Coalition NFFC Dairy Subcommittee, stated, “We are asking Congress to administer a temporary floor price of $20.00 because it is so badly needed to keep the remaining 49,000 dairy farmers in business.” He called on Congress, as it writes the new farm
bill, to “take into consideration the farmers’ costs of producing raw milk and establish a pricing system that will reflect it, along with a supply management system based on the proposals in S. 1640, the Federal Milk Marketing Improvement Act of 2011.” For more details, log on to www.nffc.net.

With the celebration of National Ag Day on March 8, Farm Credit East recognizes the efforts of hardworking agriculture producers throughout the Northeast and the contributions they make to our economy. Often overlooked as an economic engine, agriculture creates economic activity and hundreds of thousands of jobs in the Northeast. Northeast agriculture has a diverse farm product mix, including dairy, nursery and greenhouse, fruit, vegetable, aquatic and wine to name a few industries. Producers provide consumers with an abundance of fresh, safe and local products all year round. Consider the following for the six state
region of New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island and New Hampshire: • 64,671 farms in the region • 9.3 million acres of land in farms • $6.79 billion in agricultural production value • $29.6 billion in value-added economic activity • 379,000 jobs generated “Agriculture is a major part of the economy in the Northeast” said Bill Lipinski, CEO of Farm Credit East. “Our agricultural businesses are some of the best in the world and create economic opportunities and employment throughout the region. Farmers also support the local tax base and are
leaders in local communities.” Farm Credit East is the leading lender and financial services provider

Dairy producers reminded of MILC Program SYRACUSE, NY — The New York Farm Service Agency would like to remind dairy producers of some important program eligibility requirements for payment under the Milk Income Loss Contract program (MILC). FSA State Executive Director James Barber says dairy prices may authorize potential MILC payments, but all dairy producers need to be aware of the program requirements should those conditions arise. Dairy operators currently enrolled in MILC, need to notify the local county office if there have been any changes to
their dairy operation. If a payment rate is announced, dairy producers enrolled in the MILC program will need to provide the local county office with documentation showing the eligible milk production and commercial milk marketing for the months with a MILC payment rate in effect. When producers enroll in MILC, a payment start month is selected. This month remains the same through all program years, unless a change is requested by the dairy. Dairy producers are allowed to change their start
SUNY Cobleskill student group to host Livestock Judging Clinic On April 21, the members of SUNY Cobleskill’s American Animal Producers Club (AAPC) and Livestock Show Team will be hosting a Livestock Judging Clinic at the Schoharie County fairgrounds. This all-day event will include judging/reasons clinics for beef cattle, swine, sheep and meat goats delivered by some of the region’s most experienced livestock show professionals. The clinics will be designed specifically for the eight to 20 year-old age group. To enhance this excellent educational opportunity, an outstanding line-up of speakers has been invited to give presentations on a wide range of topics of interest to livestock juniors and their parents. The students of AAPC hope that this event will help the
region’s livestock enthusiasts to develop skills that allow them to be more successful as breeders and exhibitors. Each year, AAPC hosts a number of livestock events that engage students with the larger agricultural community. The club’s largest annual event, the Coby Classic Show Calf Sale, is in its 15th year and will be held at the Schoharie County fairgrounds in October. The club has also planned a fundraising spaghetti dinner to be held at the Cobleskill Fire Department on April 27 at 6 p.m. For information on any of these events, please contact Jason Evans at 518-255-5643 or Donna Cappadona at 518-255-5262.

payment being disbursed. New dairies that have not previously participated in the MILC program will need to fill out the CCC-580, Milk Income Loss Contract.

Prices for grain coverage announced New York State Agriculture Commissioner Darrel J. Aubertine on March 2 announced some major changes in crop insurance that will benefit New York growers. For the first time,
producers can purchase up to 85 percent protection for corn and soybeans in New York, up from 75 percent. In addition, the insurable price election for corn silage has been raised to $50 per ton for this insurance year, up from
$42.50 last year. The Commissioner also reminded them of the upcoming March 15 deadline for purchasing or modifying crop insurance policies for the 2012 growing season. “Crop insurance is one of the few tools that can
provide farmers with a level of assurance against adverse weather, disease and market fluctuations,” said New York State Agriculture Commissioner Darrel J. Aubertine. “These new modifications are welcomed and I would en-
courage farmers to take a hard look at them and to compare minimal crop insurance coverage with more substantial crop insurance coverage that can actually cover costs of production or replacement feed; however, producers need to act
quickly as the deadline to purchase these policies is March 15.” Aubertine said, “Last year, due to adverse weather in the spring and the flooding caused from Hurricane Irene and Tropical Storm Lee, over 1,239 New York producers received indemnity payments totaling over $38 million.” The March 15 crop insurance deadline applies to most spring-planted field crops, including corn, corn silage, dry beans, barley, oats, soybeans, fresh market sweet corn, forage seeding and production, grain sorghum, potatoes, spring forage seeding, processing green peas, fresh market and processing snap beans, and processing tomatoes, cabbage and sweet corn. Prices for crop insurance protection were announced by USDA on March 1: • Corn conventional practice insured as grain is $5.68 per bushel. • Corn organic practice insured as grain is $7.99 per bishel. • Corn insured as silage with a tonnage guarantee is $50 per ton. • Soybeans conventional practice insured as grain is $12.55 per bushel. • Soybeans organic practice insured as grain is $19.97 per bushel. Crop insurance is made available by county. If your county is not one of the 38 counties where soybean crop insurance is available, your crop insurance agent can provide coverage using a written agreement, which basically references an adjacent county policy. To insure by written agreement, the producer must have production records for the last three years for the crop to be insured or for a similar crop. Spring wheat and other crops for which premium rates are not established for the county may be able to be insured by written agreement if filed by the March 15 deadline. A list of crop insurance agents who sell crop insurance in your county is available on the web at www3.rma.usda.gov/ap ps/agents/ or at your local USDA Farm Service Agency office.

Commissioner reminds farmers of March 15 crop insurance deadline
Section B - Page 16 March 12, 2012 • Let Them Know You Read COUNTRY FOLKS •
Deadline from B15 Crop insurance for grain crops is based on yield, including catastrophic (CAT) coverage, yield and revenue protection. CAT coverage is the lowest level of insurance a farmer can purchase that pays out only after more than a 50 percent loss and only for 55 percent of the price election and only the minimum or default level of prevented planting coverage. However, levels of crop insurance above CAT also can
provide for higher levels of prevented planting coverage, should you be unable to get into the field on a timely basis in the spring. Grain farmers should compare the advantages of yield coverage with revenue coverage and revenue coverage with harvest price exclusion to take advantage of what will work best for them. With the help of a crop insurance agent, you can review your risk exposure and determine the strat-
egy that is best for you; just be sure to do so before March 15. An example comparing CAT coverage and 75 percent yield coverage follows. For purposes of this example, the production average for corn is 120 bushels per acre, and farmers experienced an 80 percent loss. The established price is $6.01 per bushel (2011 price). The farmer with CAT coverage would have received a payment of $119.16
per acre. (CAT coverage only covers losses in excess of 50 percent of the actual production history, and only pays 55 percent of the crop price election.) To calculate, multiply the production average (120 bushels) times the coverage level (50 percent) to get 60 bushels (the guarantee), and subtract from that the production average minus the

Calling all girls between the ages of 12-24! The Montgomery County Dairy Princess Committee is looking for girls who are interested in promoting dairy products as a Montgomery County Dairy Ambas-
sador, and possibly, County Dairy Princess! Now is your chance to take the opportunity to travel, educate and promote dairy products in Montgomery County — and even compete at the State level!
Requirements include being involved with the dairy, either as the daughter of a dairy family, or as an employee of a dairy farm, or employed in some area of the dairy industry. You may also be the owner of two or
more dairy cows with a 4-H program or FFA club, or have already served in the county as a dairy ambassador for at least one year. Other requirements include, you must be a resident of Montgomery County,
single and have never married — you must not marry during your reign, and have no children. Young ladies interested in taking advantage of this opportunity should contact Tammy Chittenden either by e-mail
rtchitty2003@yahoo.com or phone 518-332-0110 and leave message. Hurry, as the deadline is March 24.
Deadline from B16 actual loss (120 bushels - 96 bushels) or 24 bushels. Subtract the actual production from the production guarantee (60 bushels - 24 bushels) to get the number of bushels that will be paid on, which is 36 bushels. Multiply 36 bushels times 55 percent of the insurance price ($6.01 x 55 percent = $3.31), and the result is $119.16 per acre. To purchase that coverage in 2011, it would have cost roughly $300. The farmer with 75 percent Yield Coverage would have received $396.66 per acre. To calculate, multiply the production average (120 bushels) times the guarantee (75 percent) to get 90 bushels guaranteed production. Subtract actual harvest from the guarantee (90 bushels 24 bushels), which totals 66 bushels. Multiply that by the established price ($6.01) to get a payment of $396.66 per acre. Crop insurance would have cost the farmer $10-21 per acre, depending on units chosen. Enterprise units may reduce the cost of traditional coverage and allow producers to purchase insurance at higher coverage levels. Higher coverage can better protect the higher than normal crop prices, should a weather disaster occur. Producers insuring multiple or large farms may wish to insure using “enterprise units” to receive up to a 50 percent premium discount. However, the entire farm’s production is averaged, so a comparison between enterprise units and optional units based on farm weather history is best for determining the most appropriate coverage for the operation. The March 15 deadline also applies to first-time buyers of Adjusted Gross Revenue-Lite (AGR-Lite). AGR-Lite is a revenue insurance plan for diversified growers that provides whole farm production coverage.

Register now for Winter Dairy Management Group-Housed Calf Conferences in Northern New York How does a dairy calf’s pre-weaning daily rate of weight gain impact her milking performance as an adult? How can you improve your barn’s ventilation to protect calves’ lungs? How has raising their calves in groups and free-access milkfeeding systems benefitted Northern New York dairy farmers? “If you feed calves right early, you can add 1,700 pounds of milk in their first lactation,” says Cornell University Dairy Nutrition Extension Professor Dr. Larry Chase. Chase and a full line up of educators, veterinarians and farmers using group housing systems will share their experiences and knowledge at the 2012 Winter Dairy Management Conferences in Carthage and Chazy, NY, on March 21 and 22 respectively. The 10:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. sessions will be held at the Carthage Elks Club on March 21 and at Miner Institute in Chazy on Thursday, March 22. Cornell PRO-DAIRY Dairy Housing and Waste Management Engineer Curt Gooch will present advances in draft-free ventilating for barns to protect calves’ young lungs. Gooch says, “The success in group-housed dairy animals has always hinged on a viable ventilation system and it is even more important with calves which are susceptible to the drafts common in the winter months in Northern New York.” In Carthage, veterinarian Dr. Mark Thomas of Countryside Veterinary Clinic, Lowville, NY, will talk about how group feeding and housing of calves mimics nature. In Chazy, veterinarian Dr. Bob Ceglowski of Rupert Veterinary Clinic, Rupert, VT, will share how group feeding and housing moves calf raising closer to “nature’s way.” In Carthage, Mary Kelly of Kelly Farms, Renssalaer Falls, NY, will share how converting to group housing has benefitted her dairy business. In Chazy, Mark and Jenny Cary of Woody Hill Farm in Salem, NY, will
offer their farm as a case study for finding success with group calf systems. In Chazy, Animal Science Extension Specialist John Conway of Cornell’s PRO-DAIRY Program will compare mob feeders, ro-
botic autofeeders and farm-fabricated self-feeders, and Kim Morrill, Ph.D., the new Cornell Cooperative Extension Dairy Specialist for St. Lawrence, Franklin and Clinton counties, will
talk about how baby calf rate of gain affects lifetime performance in the milking herd. A ready-made “warm box” will be on display at both events. The $30 registration fee
includes lunch and howto materials from the sold-out Dec. 1, 2011 Dairy Calf Group Housing Symposium in Syracuse. Register for the Carthage conference by March 16 with Ron Kuck,
CCE Jefferson County, at 315-788-8450. Register for the Chazy conference by March 17 with Kim Morrill, CCE St. Lawrence County, at 315-379-9192.
by Sandy Menasha and Alice Wise, CCE - Suffolk Co. (Note: At the Cornell Pesticide Management and Education Program Update last November New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) staff explained that they would be increasing inspections for Worker Protection Standard compliance along with their record-keeping inspections. Brush up on the requirements of the Worker Protection Standard! If only immediate family members work on your farm do you think the Worker Protection Standard doesn’t apply to you? Wrong! The use of personal protective equip-
ment (PPE), following early entry worker requirements, and compliance with re-entry intervals (REI) for non-handlers still apply.) Time to go through the checklist to make sure everything is in order for the upcoming season. For more information, or to order any WPS training materials, the EPA website has extensive information online at www.epa.gov/ pesticides/health/worker.htm. 1. Check decontamination kits and up-grade as necessary: • coverall, soap and a stack of single use towels. • have fresh water, enough for routine washing (at least 1 gal. per worker using the site)
and emergency eye flushing. If the decontamination kit might be used by a pesticide handler, there must be enough water for washing of the entire body in case of emergency, at least three gallons per handler. • check eyewash expiration date. • decontamination kits must be within 1/4 mile of all workers. Portable kits might be a good option. • make sure all your handlers and workers know where the decontamination sites are and what they contain. 2. Where eye protection is required on a pesticide label, the WPS guidelines say the eyewash must be “immediately accessible” to a pes-
ticide handler. The need for eye protection will be listed on the pesticide label in the box entitled “Agricultural Use Requirements”, in the section listing PPE (personal protective equipment). The emergency eyewash water (1 pint) must be carried on the tractor. However, if the applicator gets off the tractor, the eyewash must be carried on their person. 3. Check your central posting area. This has been a source of violations in years past. Make sure emergency contact information is accurate. If the WPS safety poster is in poor condition, get a new one. Have your blank pesticide application forms together —
they need to have location and description of area to be treated, product name, EPA registration number, active ingredient(s), date and time pesticide is scheduled to be applied, and the restricted-entry interval (REI). You are required to post this information before each application begins. Note that the 30 day posting requirement for all applications starts after the REI expires. A farm map is suggested for the central posting area so that workers can easily ID the location of all farm fields. 4. Train new workers within 5 days. Handlers and early-entry workers must be trained before they do work. Remember also that handlers and workers must be trained at least once every 5 years — check your
records on long-term employees. Training must be done by a licensed applicator. 5. Look at the “Agricultural Use Requirements” box on the pesticide label for a list of required PPE. Make sure PPE is adequately stocked — chemical resistant suits, gloves, aprons, protective eye-wear, boots, and respirators. Check respirator cartridges for an expiration date. 6. Start accumulating copies of pesticide labels. All applicators must have a copy of the label immediately accessible. Some growers deal with individual labels, some put together a notebook to be carried with the tractor. 7. When making a pesticide application, the following items must be

NCBA President J.D. Alexander makes statement regarding implementation of KORUS FTA United States Trade Representative Ron Kirk announced on Tuesday, Feb. 21, that the free trade agreement between the United States and South Korea (KORUS FTA) will be implemented on March 15. National Cattlemen’s Beef Association (NCBA) President J.D. Alexander praised the announcement. “NCBA was a key player in working vigorously to ensure passage of the trade pact with South Korea. We are pleased to see a smooth implementation process taking place and commend Ambassador Kirk for his steadfast commitment to expanding trade opportunities for farm and ranch families like mine. “When the KORUS FTA is imple-
mented, our competitive advantage will be secured. The KORUS pact will phase out tariffs on U.S. beef over the next 15 years and will make U.S. beef a more affordable and appealing choice for our valued Korean customers. This may very well be the most monumental bilateral trade pact our industry has ever witnessed. “With increasing demand and tightening supplies, movement of the KORUS FTA should encourage cattlemen and women to think beyond the current prices for live cattle and think long term. Think about where demand is heading and look beyond the borders of the United States. Now is the time to retain heifers and rebuild what
Inspections from B19 on the tractor: appropriate pesticide label(s) and one pint of eyewash. Additionally, the licensed applicator must carry their license on their person. Don’t forget, if the applicator gets off the tractor to adjust something, the eyewash must also be carried on their person. Also, they must be wearing the appropriate PPE if they get off the tractor to check the sprayer or something in the field. 8. Take an inventory of pesticides and assure products are currently reg-
istered at http://pims.psur. cornell.edu. If you have products that are not registered put a note on the product “not for use” until it can be properly disposed of. 9. Finally, tidy up your pesticide storage area. A disorganized, messy storage area is a red flag to an inspector.

“As mentioned in his State of the State, Governor Cuomo is committed to helping New Yorkers gain greater access to our farm fresh products,” the Commissioner said. “We are pleased to once again offer assistance to those organizations that wish to join the Governor in this endeavor and will provide up to $10,000 per project for eligible and creative proposals that help him achieve his mission.” The goal of the Fresh Connect Program is to enhance the nutrition and economic health in New York State by supporting projects that connect underserved communities with New York farm products. Eligible projects must increase access to fresh food in low-income and/or underserved communities, and can include, but are not limited to: new farmers’ markets; satellite youth markets; delivery systems for fresh produce; transportation for lowincome individuals; a CSA-share type model for distributing produce; or forming new partnerships or programs to better connect low-income and/or underserved communities with New York farm and food products. Local government entities, regional market authorities, public benefit corporations, and not-for-profit corporations are eligible to apply, including farmers’ markets that participated in the Fresh Connect Program last year. Successful applicants can receive up
to $10,000 with a 25 percent matching requirement of cash or in-kind services. The RFP and application are available on the Department’s website or by calling 518-457-2195. Applications are due into the New York State Department of Agriculture and Market by April 2. The Fresh Connect Program will be administered through a partnership between the New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets, Empire State Development, and the Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance. In addition to this RFP, the State will also offer Fresh Connect Checks, a nutrition incentive to encourage Food Stamp recipients to use their benefits at participating farmers’ markets by giving shoppers using Food Stamps a $2 coupon for every $5 of their Food Stamp benefit spent at the market. Last year, during its pilot season, the Fresh Connect Program supported more than a dozen farmers’ markets in helping them to expand and better meet the needs by providing fresh produce to low-income or underserved communities. Expanding fresh food access in underserved communities has been shown to improve nutrition and lower costs related to obesity and diet-related disease while fostering community and economic development.

Healthy gains hit quality target The first step in achieving goals is to set them. That’s why feedyard managers aim for the best live and harvested performance, and that means a few points better than last year. Carcass value is especially important to those who sell cattle on a grid. Producers may think efficiency comes from choosing genetics for feedlot performance over marbling and beef quality. But thesis research by Kansas State University Master’s student Marisa Hands-Kleysteuber and academic advisor, animal scientist Chris Reinhardt, says otherwise. Data from 17,919 cattle fed at a southwest Kansas feedlot were evaluated for the paper, “Relationships between feedlot health, average daily gain and carcass traits of Angus steers.” Results show the highest quality grade cattle were also the highest gaining, regardless of disease status. They also suggest managing for a consistant end-point can be as influential as genetics. “Even if cattle with similar genetics are fed for the same period of time, differences in carcass qualities will arise,” Reinhardt said. “Many times that is because of illnesses in certain animals.” Healthy animals tend to perform better, and the steers in this study provide an example. All marketed at an individually identified, fat-constant endpoint, those requiring no treatment for disease or illness graded 72 percent USDA Choice or Prime, compared to 59 percent for those treated two or more times. They weighed more coming in, and gained more with fewer days on feed to extend their advantages over steers that required treatment. Reinhardt examined data on those steers that were never sick to look for correlations between average daily gain and quality grade because earlier work has noted that higher gaining cattle tend to grade better. This study found
nothing to dispute that, and noted, “performance dramatically dropped for those cattle that were ungraded [Standard or No-Roll].” On the other hand, the more times cattle were treated, the lower performance in the yard and in carcass value; ungraded cattle turned out to be those that required treatment just about twice as often as other cattle. Sickness usually means a temporary setback. While cattle showing morbidity deposit less external and intramuscular fat, feeding to the same fat-constant endpoint as healthy cattle cuts down on those differences in marbling scores and performance. Of course, it takes more days on feed in a setting where clearly time is money. “The relationship between Yield Grade (YG) and Quality Grade in treated cattle is actually greater than in nontreated cattle,” the report states. “Allowed to reach an adequate degree of finish, marbling should
also follow.” Regardless of health, the study suggested all cattle optimize marbling by feeding them with the goal of achieving YG 3 (See tables and full study on page 4 of the 2012 KSU Cattlemen’s Day Report at www.ksre.ksu. edu/library/lvstk2/srp1 065.pdf). Steers reaching that level of cutability made 16.1 percentage points
more Choice and Prime as compared to those steers falling within the range of YG 1 or 2. Premium Choice carcasses were increased by 10.3 points in the same comparison. “It pays to keep cattle healthy, yes. But these results also tell us if we want to raise high-quality beef, we do not need to bypass performance genetics for high-marbling
traits,” Reinhardt said. “We can select a combination of both.” Management counts, certainly. The research report concludes producers who “reduce opportunities for nutritional stress (e.g. nutrient
restriction, health challenges) and ensure their cattle are fed to their target fat content endpoint... will more consistently achieve both excellent performance and quality grade [goals].”

Pork Act delegates elect candidate slate Pork Act Delegates, meeting at National Pork Industry Forum in Denver March 1-3, ranked eight candidates for the National Pork Board and submitted the list to the U.S. secretary of agriculture. The candidates, ranked in order, are: • Brad Greenway, a current board member from South Dakota • Dale Norton, a current board member from Michigan • Craig Mensink of Minnesota • Lisa Colby, a current board member from Massachusetts • Carl Link of Ohio • Janice Miller, a current board member from Nebraska • Emiley Gaskill of Indiana • Ed Keller of New York The secretary of agriculture will select five members from the slate elected by the delegates. National Pork Board members serve three-year terms and are eligible to serve two terms. There are 15 pork producers on the board. Delegates also elected two members to the Nominating Committee, which recruits and screens candidates for the National Pork Board. Members of the Nominating Committee do not have to be approved by the secretary. Delegates also approved four non-
binding directives for the National Pork Board. They directed the board to: • Improve the Pork Quality Assurance® Plus (PQA Plus) program by adding a test to the certification process, by adding an online option for certification by incorporating the handling portion of the Transport Quality Assurance program and by adding curriculum related strictly to barn workers. • Carefully consider both science and consumer confidence when making decisions affecting pork production methods and the marketability of pork products. • Cooperate with all segments of the food chain to develop workable sustainability guidelines that take into account food security, economic, ethical and environmental issues. • Conduct additional research that optimizes sow housing types and enables producers to make informed sow housing decisions; provide producers with the information and education they need to implement responsible sow housing on their farms; and ensure that customers understand the animal well-being, environmental and producer sustainability consequences of their marketing decisions.
by Nancy Glazier This year the calls began the first week of January. When should I frost seed? March is a great time to add some legumes into your pastures or hayfields. It is a way to improve pastures without losing a production year. Added legumes will boost production and fill in thin patches or bare spots; they will provide needed nitrogen to
the grasses already growing, and provide protein for the livestock. Little or no tillage is involved which reduces the potential for soil erosion. Hopefully, you did your homework last fall by checking the forage quantity, types and groundcover. If not, take a walk! Frost seeding is the same as any other type of seeding or planting;

seed-to-soil contact is critical. What works with this technique is the freeze-thaw process in late winter/early spring. As the days get above freezing and nights are below freezing, this action works the seeds down into the soil in preparation for germination. Your best option is to spread the seed on frozen ground to reduce the potential to rut up the pasture. Legumes work best for frost seeding due to the shape of their seeds. Success will vary farm to farm, but
clovers will establish better, specifically red clovers. They are shorter -lived in a pasture; a way to offset that would be to frost seed red clover with slower establishing birdsfoot trefoil. By the time the clover dies out, the trefoil will be growing well. Another way would be to routinely frost seed half of their pastures every year. It can be an inexpensive improvement. Alfalfa can be frost seeded, but don’t try to seed into a field with alfalfa (even a thin stand) growing. The ex-

Frost seeding grasses may have limited results, but is more successful with bunch type grasses like orchardgrass. Try seeding some on a small scale.

New Jersey State FFA President Alec McAlarnen addressed Annual State Agricultural Convention Alec McAlarnen, New Jersey State FFA President, addressed delegates gathered for the Annual State Agricultural Convention on Jan. 18 in Atlantic City. The 19-year-old from North Wildwood spoke about “iFFA” — the endless opportunities available to each FFA member (individual), the success of technology in the ag classroom (instruct), the possibilities of social media (inform), and the inspiration conveyed through the blue corduroy (inspire).
McAlarnen is a sophomore at Ramapo College who is studying literature and plans to become an English teacher. His supervised agricultural experience involves maintaining tropical plants. FFA is a national youth organization that uses agricultural science education to develop students’ potential and help them discover their talent.

4-H members participate in Veterinary Science Program 4-H members from Herkimer, Oneida and Madison Counties participated in a 4-H Veterinary Science program over their winter break. The two day program was for youth 14-19 years of age with an interest in Veterinary Medicine. The days were filled with visits to Herkimer Veterinary Associates, Clarkshire Farm in Mohawk, Winding River Quarter Horses in West Winfield, Windex Farm in Frankfort and Dependa Bull in Vernon. On the first day we visited the veterinary clinic where Dr. Brenda Armstrong and LVT Amanda Pendra helped the youth experience what it is like to be a small animal veterinarian and also allowed them to view a procedure. The youth were able to see firsthand a typical day in the life of a veterinarian. John Clark of Clarkshire Farm went over proper care of sheep explaining vaccination, lambing and the differences in sheep. He also spoke about his mules and caring for them. Dr. Erin Morgan with Leatherstocking Veterinary Service met us at Winding River Quarter Horses (the Pearsall Family) where she taught about lame-
ness in horses. She did an ultra sound of tendons on a horse so the participants could see what it was like to use an ultra sound machine. She also showed them the scope they use to look inside a horse as well as some x-rays. The youth were also able to listen to the horses heart with a stethoscope. Day two started out with a visit to Windex Farm (the Windecker Family) where Dr. Armstrong met us to do a herd health visit with dairy cattle. She explained and showed how to give a cow a check up and how to check for pregnancies. She also went over some calf care items with them. The last stop for the program was Dependa Bull bull stud owned by Crystal and Duane Brayman. Here the group was shown the process of collecting semen from a bull and making it available for artificial insemination. To wrap up the class, Dr. Clyde Cranwell went over the reproductive tracts of cattle. For more information about this and other 4-H programs, contact Cornell Cooperative Extension of Herkimer County at 315-866-7920.
