Raising sheep for meat

by Sanne Kure-Jensen The New Entry Sustainable Farming Project, in partnership with the Tufts Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine in North Grafton, MA offers Sheep School each June. Experienced Cummings School staff including two veterinarians, a herdsman and a sheep farmer lead an all day, hands-on, field school. Participants learn practical skills for raising sheep including: managing meat and wool enterprises, overseeing a breeding program, assessing sheep health, appropriate handling and facilities as well as feed and pasture management. Leaders also trained participants in sheep tipping, hoof trimming, quick-release knots and other hands-on skills.

Customers and marketing Eighty percent of U.S. lamb consumption is within 75 miles of the east and west coast. European customers are the largest consumers of lamb in the world.

Tufts’ 100-pound (live weight) animals are sold to local restaurants when the sheep are about five months old. Their market does not demand weaning or castration.

Selling lambs at 100 pounds means Tufts has no need to wean lambs or castrate rams. Tufts Herdsman, Scott Brundage of Tufts University Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine recommends a precaution when rams get close to puberty at five to six months old. This prevents them fighting and injuring each other or trying to impregnate their mom or sisters. If you plan to have rams longer or do not have space for separation, castrate rams young when they are one to two weeks old. If docking tails, use an electric tail docker to cauterize, and there will be almost no blood or risk of infection.

Body scoring Veterinarian, Rosario DelgadoLecaroz of Country Veterinary Services in Upton, MA demonstrated three

points to check on a sheep: the shoulders, spinal process and the lumbar region. A large or fat sheep is considered a 5. A skinny, boney sheep should receive a score of 1. The ideal range is 2.5 to 3.5. Late in pregnancy, 3.5 to 4 is a good score; nursing lamb(s) will quickly milk off any excess fat.

Delgado-Lecaroz said sheep with body scores greater than 3 were at elevated risk of developing Ketosis during pregnancy and losing their lamb. She said if sheep smell sweet, run a blood test to confirm this diagnosis and treat accordingly.

For consistency, farmers should assign one person to score their animals and note changes. Watch carefully for changes in body scoring in late pregnancy. By the time most people call the vet with toxemia concerns, it is too late for the mother and/or the lamb.

Healthy sheep are “B A R” said Brundage; they are Bright, Alert and Responsive. Risks of illness rise with poor diet, management or daily care.

Risk factors include genetics, reproductive problems, transportation stress and extreme weather. Watch for drool, skin discharges, lumps/bumps/ bruises, behavioral changes or breeding problems.

Breeding and breed selection Tufts raises herds of pure Dorset and Tunis heritage sheep as breeders.

The Dorsets are great moms and high milk producers; they produce low quality wool. The Tunis sheep used as rams tend to be smaller and fatter.

Their blended offspring are raised for meat, and lambs are sold to restaurants. Selling lambs early means limited input and grain costs and hence, greater profits. This can work for other farmers as long as it is cheaper to feed the mom (net of pasture, hay and grain) than to feed grain to the lambs.

Intensive grazing is required for this model. In extended droughts, the pastures may need to be irrigated.

Scott Brundage described common equipment and management practices.

Slow Food/Weston Price class on cultured dairy products and raw milk

by Judy Van Put Recently, the Slow Food/Weston Price class of the Upper Delaware Chapter held a class at Hills Country Inn, Callicoon, NY. Hosted by Maria Grimaldi and Lucia RuedenbergWright, (Chapter Leader) the class, which was to be a hands-on forum for learning how to make butter, cheese, yogurt and other cultured dairy products, branched out as dairy farmers and others with agricultural interests from both the Pennsylvania and New York side of the Delaware River gathered together and discussed raw milk — its benefits and marketing.

Jennifer Mall, Agricultural Planner from the Sullivan County (New York) Division of Planning and Environmental Management, told the group about the Mobile Cheesemaking Unit (MCU) she helped spearhead. The mobile cheesemaking unit is, in essence, a dairy plant built inside a 12 x 36 foot trailer. It was developed using funds from Northeast Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education ((SARE) and various local agencies, which worked with local farmers to design and build an affordable, functional, mobile cheese plant that could be moved around to area farms to enable those farmers to learn the art of cheese making. As the demand for local and artisanal cheeses was increasing, the broader outcome was to capitalize on this demand and connect the small local dairy farms directly with these markets.

The MCU traveled to the Tonjes dairy farm, where it remained for three years. Mary and Tim Tonjes learned to make cheese and yogurt to sell in the

MCU; as they expanded their product line, they found their business starting to take off, and built a cheese cave on their farm, as they no longer required the use of the unit. It was moved to another dairy farm for approximately two and one half years, and has now moved on again, becoming very popular with Sullivan County dairy farms.

A discussion on raw milk followed, during which Maria passed around a few gallons of the milk with paper cups for all to sample. Dirie’s Dairy Farm, Livingston Manor, NY and Hardler Farms LLC, Honesdale, PA, provided the milk.

Lucia described the benefits of raw milk in a healthy diet, as the cream in the whole milk provides important fatsoluble vitamins that are difficult to duplicate. The process of homogenizing milk involves passing it through fine filters at tremendous pressure, which causes the milk fat globules to bbreak apart. In the process, proteins that would normally be digested in the stomach or gut are not broken down, and are absorbed into the bloodstream. Some researchers have asserted that after getting into the bloodstream, these proteins attach themselves to the artery walls and can promote hardening of the arteries and heart disease.

Mike Hardler, of Hardler Farms, Honesdale, PA, joined the class with his two youngest children, and proceeded to lead a discussion on producing and marketing raw milk. He began by explaining how he transitioned from a traditional dairy farm which he purchased from his father in 2003; to one that milks 24 cows of mostly Heritage

breeds: Line Backs, Jerseys, Ayrshire, Dutch Belt and Normandys. The heritage breeds were chosen because they are “easier to maintain. They’re good at grazing, they’re a lot healthier and they’re better for management.” His herd has evolved over the years and is hormone- and antibiotic-free. In addition, Mike and his family raise goats, a mixed breed of Nubian, Alpine and Toggenburgs.

Hardler Farms is licensed to provide both raw cow milk and raw goat milk; their bottling license has allowed them to sell their raw milk products in markets and supermarkets located in Honesdale, Hawley, Milford, Carbondale and other Pennsylvania locations, right alongside the ‘name’ brands of homogenized and pasteurized containers of milk and milk products.

Mike relies heavily on his family — his four children, his Dad, his fatherin-law and a cousin, among others — in order to meet his busy schedule of producing and marketing his products, and stated that in order to be a direct marketer, such as to the farmer’s markers or on-farm customers, the raw milk producer needs to be a “people-person” and be able to talk with his customers one-on one.

In New York State, however, raw milk can only be sold on the farm; and the opportunities for purchasing raw milk here in New York are limited. With a growing demand for raw milk, hopefully laws will be changed and New York will adapt laws similar to those in neighboring Pennsylvania.

The group was treated to a delicious lunch made up of locally-produced foods and raw milk products — cheese,

butter, yogurt, ricotta with fresh fruits; along with salad and home-baked breads.

The afternoon ended with a trip into the kitchen, with a hands-on demonstration by Lucia Ruedenberg-Wright on how to make cultured milk products, such as butter, simple cheeses, yogurt and kefir at home.

Members of the Slow Foods class sampled raw milk in the Weston Price Upper Delaware Chapter class on Cultured Dairy products held at Hills Resort, Callicoon Center, NY.

Senator Gillibrand effectively represents the interests of New York farmers in Washington, D.C. Recently the U.S. Department of Labor’s proposed revision of child labor regulations on U.S. farms was defeated by an agricultural community already worried about severe farm labor shortages and marginal profits.

In the midst of this high profile debate over labor laws and government regulation, Senator Gillibrand has been working quietly to preserve a more intelligent solution to the health and safety issues of New York farmers.

Recent proposed budget cuts included elimination of the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health’s Agriculture, Forestry and Fishing (NIOSH AFF) Program. This program focuses on collaborating with the farm community, private industry and advocacy groups to identify convenient and affordable solutions to agricultural hazards using regional centers like the New York Center for Agricultural Medicine and Health (NYCAMH). For these centers, partnership is the name

of the game, not regulation. A good example of a NIOSH AFF program is the popular NY ROPS Rebate Program, which provides logistical and costsharing assistance to farmers interested in installing roll-over protective structures, vs. imposing laws that simply require farmers to install ROPS. Thanks to the notable leadership of Senator Gillibrand and several other New York representatives, the termination of the NIOSH AFF program and the switch to a singularly regulatory approach has been avoided. As Senator Gillibrand has masterfully demonstrated, there is an effective solution for most problems if we will only take the time to consider it thoughtfully. This is further evidence of her determination to effectively represent the interests of New York farmers in Washington.

A patriotic stage in the Breeding Barn at historic Shelburne Farms, Shelburne, VT, provided the setting for this year’s National Sale and concluded The National Convention activities.

Seventy-four lots averaged $5,831 and sold into 12 states and Colombia, South America.

Topping the day at $20,000 was Blessing Bonanza Francie “E92/ 32,700m”, an All American and fifth generation “EX”, consigned by Blessing Farms, Fort Wayne, IN. Looking like a contender for this fall, Francie was taken by Richman Farms and Starmark Farms, Lodi, Ohio. The contending syndicate was represented by Jerry Harkness, breeder of the foundation for this impressive family.

Second high seller was the much talked about junior two year old prospect, Renegade Titanium Sonya ET. After spirited bidding, Ken Main and Peter Vail of Copake, NY added her to their impressive Elite string at $19,700. Sutton Rucks, Okeechobee, FL was the final contender with Wayne Sliker and Jayson Garrett, St. Paris, Ohio the consignors.

Next in line on the high seller’s list, Dublin Hills Sorina was the crowd pleasing senior two year old sired by Old Mill TA Starsky ET. She also headed for Elite Dairy and sports a deep Snow Storm pedigree developed by her consignors, Dublin Hills Farm, Woodsboro, MD. Contending bidders for

Sorina were Frank and Susan Caverly.

Hills Valley Farm, Cattaraugus, NY provided the fourth high seller with Hills Valley Tray Phoenix commanding $17,400 from Brooke M. Clark of GMC Farm, Cornish Flat, NH. Phoenix is a “VG88/2y” Tray daughter with over 1200 F at 2 years and a deep pedigree from the Priscilla family.

The “Pick of Shelburne” was a feature of the sale with Elite Dairy out bidding Bruce Dearborn to gain rights in choosing from the entire Shelburne Herd. At a $12,000 price tag, Ken and Peter selected Shelburne Dusty Elizabeth, a great framed junior three year old from 3 “Excellent” dams representing the strong Elizabeth family at Shelburne.

The highest selling heifer of the sale, Top Acres Wonder Bamby ET, was consigned by Bob Gould, Sale Chairman, and Bruce Dearborn, Convention Finance Director. Bamby is a large and fancy Wonderment daughter from five generations of “Excellent” dams from the “B’s” and is now the property of Gerrit DeBruin, Lake Mills, WI after selling for $11,200.

The New England National Sale was managed by Modern Associates, Wayne and Connie Sliker of St. Paris, Ohio. Darrell Worden was auctioneer for the day and was assisted in the ring and on the phones by Brian Garrison, Lee Barber, Dave Wallace and Gordon DeMay.

Crop Comments

by Paris Reidhead Field Crops Consultant Finding standing water In his July on-line newsletter called Crop Soil News, Tom Kilcer’s headline reads: “Plagues, Heat, Drought, What is Next?”

Tom is a retired agronomy extension agent who started a consulting firm called Advanced Ag Systems. Myself, I was hoping that with the armyworm attacks this spring, maybe potato leafhoppers would spare us. For most of the Northeast that didn’t happen. The damage and effect of potato leafhoppers intensify with summer weather.

The end results of such pests in alfalfa are reduced yield, less quality, and lowered stand persistence. Potato leafhoppers are native to North America. They are small, bright green, wedgeshaped, sucking insects.

Both adults and nymphs remove plant sap and inject toxic saliva as they feed, with toxins causing “hopper-burn”. They really like to attack alfalfa.

(Sometimes they even attack potatoes.)

Typical symptoms include a bronzing or hopper-burn on plants. The bronzing of alfalfa plants has been mistaken for summer drought or a nutrient deficiency, particularly boron. With hopper-burn, a Vshaped yellowing is seen on the edges of leaves; usually the yellow is accompanied by pink or light purple discoloration; boron deficiency only causes the yellow symptom, as well as shrimpy-looking alfalfa leaflets. These insects are carried up by spring storms from the Gulf Coast (where they overwinter), often hitching a ride with the jet-stream.

There can be several overlapping leafhopper generations per summer.

Upon noticing the hopper-burn color signs, it’s too late to spray, as the first-growth vegetation is stunted for the season.

Harvest what hay there is. Since regrowth won’t likely be hit by these tiny insects, spraying may not be necessary.

(Contact: renrock46@hotmail.com)

However, with the regional (if not national) forage situation approaching crisis level… and I hate the word crisis… spraying the alfalfa stubble may prove to be a cheap insurance premium (generally less than $3 per acre for spray materials). As to whether crop growers are being unusually hard hit by “bugs” this year, I think what we’re experiencing is a little worse than normal luck of the draw. Dawn and Buddy Richardson, who crop 2,000 acres in Oneida County (New York), feel that armyworms launch a massive attack on them every seven or eight years. In their farm supply business (including grain sales) last year, they had stocked up heavily on insecticides to kill leafhoppers. Due to very low leafhopper numbers in 2011, they sold (and used) very little bugkiller… but they’re selling, and using, these insecticides in 2012.

Why do I refer to standing water in my column? All plants, even on a dry matter basis, consist of a lot of water… water that’s been biochemically coupled with carbon dioxide through photosynthesis.

The present cropping season will be one where growers look for standing hay on other people’s land (hoping it’s for sale). Will it be high quality feed?

Let me answer that with another question: what’s the feed value of a snowball? I’ve put together lots of rations with midJuly-cut grass hay.

Chopped and mixed into a TMR with corn silage, an economic level of milk production is attainable.

Ideal? No, but most of us try to play the “hand of cards” we’re dealt.

Tom has given Advanced Ag Systems the motto, “It is the crops that feed the cows that make the milk which creates the money.”

The idea of baling standing water was mine, not Tom’s. However, he and I shared a practical fondness for sorghum, Sudan grass, and their hybrids; I

add millet to that list.

Around the Fourth of July, Tom observed that sorghum in his plots, with no rain for three weeks, was still growing; while the corn, planted at nearly the same time, was rolled tight from the lack of water (some people refer to the corn as firing or spiking).

Sorghum will produce a ton of dry matter on half the water it takes corn to produce that ton.

Sorghum can also grow at much higher temperatures while corn shuts down above 86 degrees. But caution: sorghum species do not like cool weather; millet is little more tolerant of the coolness.

For growing regions

which expect first fall frost on or after Sept. 15, it’s okay to plant the 83 day brown-mid-rib sorghum… if you do so within 48 hours of receiving this newspaper. Actually, one year a fellow whom I advised (still do) planted a sorghum/forage soybean mix on July 28, and killer frost hit exactly two months later.

Within 36 hours of the frost, he had round-baled this crop (I believe we called it sorbean). I calculated that this blend had yielded three tons of dry matter per acre in 62 days… not bad. The later you plant, the less the yield potential and the later it matures. The big advantage is that it will almost certainly capture more dry matter yield per acre than any other summer crop.

known as the Sahel. The Sahel receives about 10 inches of rain per year, which is why these African summer annuals can handle drought as well as they do.

Let’s crunch some numbers. Dawn just told me this (Tuesday) morning that shell corn on the Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT) just cleared $8 per bushel. If an 18 ton corn silage crop (a typical yield per acre), normally contains 150 bushels of shell corn, then that crop is worth $1,200 per acre, with no value assigned to the stover in the silage; even so that corn silage weighs in at $67 per ton.

Let’s take the three ton dry matter per acre yield, that I mentioned earlier, just as an example for the “sorbean”. Assume the sorghum is 37.5 percent dry matter, and thus we end up with

eight tons of balage per acre. I figure that these grass summer annuals support about five percent less milk per pound of dry matter than corn silage. So each acre of sorghum (and/or its related hybrids) is worth about $507 per acre… not bad for 60-75 days of growth performance when nothing else has enough water.

If you think we have it bad in the Northeast in terms of moisture shortage, the corn belt has it much worse, and that fact (i.e., lousy corn harvest forecast) is what ran shell corn price so high on the CBOT. So, if you raise ruminants, it’s wise to plant BMR sorghum (or one its African cousins) real soon; also harvest some “standing water”, and present your nutritionist the chance to earn his keep by tying all this stuff together.

by tatiana Stanton Many holidays such as Roman and Greek Easter, and Ramadan occur on different dates each year.

It takes planning and skill to time your breedings to meet the demands of specific holidays.

Daily weight gains for baby goats from kidding to weaning at 3 months of age range from about 1/3 to 1/2 pound daily in many meat goat herds although some kids can grow as slow as 1/4 pound daily and some big singles as much as 2/3 pound daily. Kids from large litters will tend to grow slower than

kids from small litters and kids born to yearling does often grow slower than kids born to mature does. Most herds count on their kids gaining about 10 to 15 pounds per month from birth to weaning and from 8 to 12 pounds per month from weaning on.

It is good to know the average weight gains for kids in your herd because it can vary widely depending on breed and management.

Let’s pretend you want to market suckling kids weighing 30 to 40 pounds live for Western Easter on March 31 in

2013. We’ll assume that your kids average about 7 pounds at birth and most of your kids grow about 1/2 pound daily.

However, your twin kids from yearling does and some of your kids from triplet litters only grow 1/3 pound daily. Goats are generally purchased and shipped to slaughter about 7 to 10 days before Easter so you want your kids to weigh 30-40 pounds by March 21.

When should your kids be born?

Growthy kids: 40 pound target weight - 7 pound birth weight = 33 pounds of gain. At 1/2 pound of gain daily your growthy kids will need about 66 days to be ready to market.

Slower growing kids: 30 pound target weight 7 pound birth weight = 23 pounds of gain. At 1/3 pound of gain daily, these kids will need about 69 days to be ready.

Count backwards on a calendar 66 to 69 days before March 21 to see

when your kids need to be born.

March, 21 days; February, 28 days = 49 days.

Thus, you want your kids born about 17 to 20 days before the start of February, i.e., around Jan. 11-14.

Now you need to figure out when to breed your does to get the vast majority to kid around Jan 11 to 14. The gestation period for goats is about 150 days so ideally you want your does bred about Aug. 11 to 14. The heat cycle is about 18-21 days but early in the season most does will be stimulated to come into heat about 4-7 days after you put the buck in with them. This is called the “buck effect”. Thus, the vast majority of your herd will likely get bred within 2 weeks of the buck’s introduction.

However, Easter is pretty early in 2013 and not all your does may be cycling initially. You will want to

Daily weight gains for baby goats from kidding to weaning at 3 months of age range from about 1/3 to 1/2 pound daily in many meat goat herds.

New York Farm Bureau challenges workers’ comp rate hike New York Farm Bureau President Dean Norton submitted strong testimony in opposition to the New York State Department of Financial Services’ plan to raise “loss cost” by 11.5 percent, and he is asking the state to reevaluate the proposal. If passed, this will be used by insurance companies to set higher workers’ compensation rates, and it would have a serious impact on New York farmers. Family farms now compete in a global marketplace while also trying to make ends meet in a state that has high production costs that may now grow even higher with this proposed change.

“Between 2009 and 2010 we lost 300 farms, irrevocably, from producing the

myriad of agricultural products such as dairy, fruits and vegetables in New York State. Workers’ compensation insurance premiums contribute to the high cost of production in New York, and that is a factor our farm families must grapple with as they seek to continue to grow local food for local families. Continuing to raise costs in New York, particularly on the employment side will cause further economic complications for agriculture leading to a loss in jobs in farming and food production. The loss of farms impacts us all as farmland ends up in the hands of developers or is simply allowed to go fallow. That would be a lost opportunity for growth in our important agricultural sector,” said

President Dean Norton.

While NYFB does appreciate the proposed 2 percent reduction in assessments, that number is not proportional to the 11.5 percent hike. Ultimately, if it goes into effect on Oct. 1, many farm families will have to pay several hundred dollars more for their coverage every year.

NYFB’s Safety Group 486 provides Workers Compensation Insurance for eligible ag-related businesses. Kevin Cook, Director of NYFB’s Member Services said, “From an insurance per-

spective, I can understand the need for some rate increase as medical costs and the weekly cash benefits have increase due to 2007 Workers’ Compensation reforms. However, a hike of this magnitude will mean a significant increase for a bulk of our “Safety Group 486” members. This will affect the ability of these farms to continue their operations.”

My move to the country was necessary because I was married to a dairy farmer for nearly 30 years. Since dairy farming is a job with something to be done every day of the year living nearby was a necessity. It is something that I cherish. At this point my country roots run deep. I keep my hand in some as I help with small things on the farm. Often I am called upon to help with decisions.

As for the idea of writing itself, I never even considered becoming a writer. It is something that evolved as I took on additional responsibilities. When I took my master’s exam I asked to be allowed to take an oral one because I was not sure of my writing skills. Even though I had to find a team to be my examination panel — my advisor said he would not do an oral exam — I completed the requirement for my master’s degree in reading.

the kernels that become the columns in many cases. I find a small fact, then, reminisce about my experiences. I keep a notebook with quotations that inspire me. I also put ideas for articles there so I have ready reference. My diaries that I have kept faithfully since the early 1970s also provide ideas for my work.

The history of my lovely Victorian home has provided many ideas. When we restored our home we tried to keep things as much like they were as we could. The one exception is the bay window installed in the kitchen.

That certainly is not a period window but it is the frame for the countryside and the nature that is so important to me.

People have told me this place looks like a bed and breakfast. Although we have had many guests, it is really just home for me and my family. The wraparound porch is a joy. I can sit in the old rocking chair and read or write.

buted in the Jamestown Post-Journal on July 15, 1994. It is a good thing I had it written ahead of time because the next weekend was my daughter’s wedding.

By the time I started the column the newspaper process had improved. I was able to fax things to the editor. Of course, there was a deadline. The column needed to be in at the beginning of the week because it was in the Friday edition.

When I say things had improved I mean that I no longer had to call in and dictate my articles to the wonderful lady who transcribed them and prepared them for print.

It was not easy to dictate and achieve accuracy. I always talked too fast and had to keep repeating things for her. One time I attended a meeting but by morning I had no voice, laryngitis. That day my husband read the article over the phone for me. If you think that was not tricky you have another guess coming.

New York Farm Bureau’s statement regarding apple export reform for New York growers New York Farm Bureau commends Representative Bill Owens’ efforts to get much needed language helping New York apple growers into the overall House version of the Farm Bill. Its passage would mean a large savings for the fruit farmers who are coming off a tough spring season.

The bill would amend the 1933 Apple Export Act to exempt bulk shipments of apples from U.S. inspection requirements when they are being shipped to Canada. There isn’t a need for the inspections since Canada does not call

for them. In turn, not only will it speed up the exporting process, but it would save New York apple producers $450,000 every year in inspection fees without impacting the relationship with Canadian importers.

“This is common sense house cleaning to remove an outdated and expensive burden on New York’s apple producers. We urge its inclusion in the final passage of the Farm Bill to put money back into the pockets of the state’s hard working fruit farmers,” said Dean Norton, President of NYFB.

Hickory from A9 After I had the degree I enrolled in some correspondence courses to beef up my writing skills. I thought I would write for children since I knew what they liked to read about. That was not to be the case. My talent surfaced in the non-fiction category writing memoir. From that time on I tailored my writing courses for that genre.

A stint at Chautauqua Institution proved invaluable. I learned about marketing strategies. I learned about gathering ideas. I learned how to manage my time. I look back fondly on all of the instructors who played a part in my education as a writer. No, my English is not flawless, but people understand with ease what I mean. I am not producing scholarly documents, simply pieces to entertain and inform.

The art of writing has led to the publication of four books. The most recent piece of work is a book titled Choose Life: a Look at the Grieving Process. It is my first book in the inspiration genre.

If I can help one person through the complex process of grieving for a loved one, all of my work will have been worthwhile. Everyone goes through that process differently, but there are feelings and ideas that create a common thread.

Thank you to my faithful readers.

You support me with e-mails, phone calls, and notes. Without readers my job as columnist would not exist.

by Glen Cope Two things in life that often bring about the most grief are death and taxes. So when these two are combined, it makes for a cocktail of anxiety.

Isn’t it enough that a family must deal with the grieving that comes from the passing of a loved one? Yet, political leaders in Washington, D.C., find it necessary to exacerbate that grief by taxing the occasion.

Most young farmers and ranchers have worked from an early age alongside their parents on the family farm, making it a joint effort to improve the farm, pay bills and reduce debt. Not only do young farmers have a vested interest in the farm, but they consider themselves co-owners. So, you can imagine our frustration knowing that the inevitable is lurking behind the barn

door. After our parents pass on, the Internal Revenue Service will demand a sizable portion of the family farm.

Farmers are, as the old phrase goes, “asset rich and cash poor.” Unfortunately, when parents pass, the estate tax is triggered because of high land prices. A fact that most people in this country don’t understand.

The average age of the American farmer is 57.

So, at an age when most Americans are preparing for retirement, farmers are still hard at work. As the average age of farmers increases, the need for permanent repeal of the estate tax is all that much more important.

Especially if we want young people to return to the farm. Stifling their ambitions by imposing a death tax that penalizes their achievement is not an incentive.

On January 1, 2013, the death tax will fall back to its original position of having only a $1 million exemption toward the value of the estate and then it will be taxed at a rate of 55 percent.

To give you an idea how little a $1 million exemption will go toward easing the mind-numbing pain felt by this

FOCUS ON AGRICULTURE American Farm Bureau Federation hideous tax; if a farm valued at $3,000 per acre fell under the death tax, only roughly 333 acres would be exempt.

However, many farmers will tell you in today’s world, 333 acres will not go very far to support one family, let alone two and sometimes three generations that may rely on the farm to provide their livelihoods.

There are many events in which taxation can come into play throughout a person’s life. For example, sales tax when we make a purchase and capital gains tax when we sell something at a higher price than what we paid. When we own something, we even pay a property tax. We pay Social Security taxes to-

ward our retirement. So the question must be asked; if we are taxed in this country seemingly every time we make a move when it comes to spending, saving and making money, should we be taxed simply because we have taken our last breath? Should we make it more difficult for our children to continue the family farm? The majority of farmers and ranchers would argue the answer is most definitely NO!

Home,, Family,, Friendss & You Upping the apple ante The old adage, “an apple a day keeps the doctor away,” is on the chopping block. Instead of one apple a day, experts are now recommending two.

Coined a “miracle fruit,” the unassuming apple stunned a team of researchers at the Florida State University. They found that eating two apples a day for six months can reduce artery-blocking LDL by 23 percent.

According to Bahram H. Arjmandi, Ph. D., director for the Center for Advancing Exercise and Nutrition Research on Aging at the Florida State University, “I buy a bag a week and try to eat two per day. I am convinced this is what I should do if I want to remain healthy.”

According to the U.S. Apple Association (USApple), mounting research suggests that powerful antioxidants in apples and apple products may play an essential role in reducing the risk of many of the world’s most prevalent diseases, including cancer and Alzheimer’s disease.

To encourage consumers to eat even more apples, USApple offers the following ”Delicious Duos,” teaming apples and apple products with other powerhouse ingredients that help support specific health and nutrition goals.

Superfood Duo: Apples + Salmon Benefit: Helps ward off heart disease In the study conducted at the Florida State University, women who ate apples experienced a 23 percent decrease in LDL “bad” cholesterol, and a 3 to 4 percent increase in their HDL “good” cholesterol — “a boost difficult to achieve with drugs or exercise,” says Arjmandi, who led the study. Combine the power of apples with good-cholesterol-raising omega-3-rich salmon in

this Apple Balsamic Salmon dish.

Apple-Balsamic Salmon Yield: 4 servings Prep Time: 25 minutes Baking Time: 8 to 12 minutes Special Tools: 4 12-inch-long pieces parchment paper 4 4-ounce skinless salmon fillets, 3/4 to 1 inch thick 1/4-1 teaspoon fine sea salt (normal table salt can be used) 1/4 cup apple jelly 2 teaspoons aged balsamic vinegar 3/4 cup julienne-cut, unpeeled, Granny Smith or other green apple (1/4 x 1 1/2-inch-long slivers) 3/4 cup julienne-cut, unpeeled Fuji or other reddish apple (1/4 x 1 1/2inch-long slivers) 1/3 cup very thin sliced and quartered leek (white and light green portion only) Rice pilaf (optional) Course-ground black pepper 1. Preheat oven to 450° F. Fold each piece of paper crosswise in half. Cut 4 half-heart shapes 7 inches longer and 4 inches wider than the fillets (the folded edges will be the centers of the hearts).

Open each paper or foil heart; set aside.

2. Lightly sprinkle salmon with 1/4 teaspoon salt. Place each fillet near the center on one side of each heart.

3. Heat apple jelly over low heat or in a microwave oven just until melted.

Remove from heat; stir in balsamic vinegar. Spoon mixture evenly over fillets. Toss together apples and leek.

Place mixture evenly on top of fillets.

4. Fold opposite side of each heart up and over the fish and apple mixture.

Starting at top of heart, fold edges to seal open sides by making small tight folds. Twist tip of hearts to close packets. Place packets on baking sheet.

Bake in preheated oven for 8 to 12 minutes until fish flakes easily. (Carefully open packets to check doneness.)

5. To serve, cut packets open by slashing a large X on the top of each, then fold back paper. Transfer packets to dinner plates and serve with rice. Or, if desired, remove fish with apples from packets and place slightly on top of rice; spoon over juices. Season to taste with additional salt and the pepper.

Recipe Note: This recipe makes enough balsamicapple juice for serving over a rice or barley pilaf. If you prefer less juice, decrease the apple jelly to 3 tablespoons and balsamic vinegar to 1 1/2 teaspoons.

Superfood Duo: Apples + Oats Benefit: Helps improve brain health A clinical trial found that that consuming two 4-ounce servings of apple juice daily significantly improved mood and behavior among a group of patients diagnosed with moderate-to-severe Alzheimer’s disease. Also, Cornell University research suggests that quercetin may be the compound in apples that protects brain cells against oxidative stress associated with Alzheimer’s. Craving some brainfood?

Superfood Duo: Apples + Greek Yogurt Benefits: Helps protect bone health A study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition suggests that older women who eat plenty of fruits, including apples, may have a lower chance of bone fractures than those not getting their fill. Create your own apple and yogurt parfait for breakfast.

Superfood Duo: Apples + Ginger Benefits: Helps fight inflammation Inflammation in the body can cause or contribute to obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, Alzheimer’s disease and many types of cancers.

Fortunately, the polyphenols found in apples have been shown to suppress inflammation and remove cell-damaging free radicals from the body.

Cornell Cooperative Extension Sullivan County has built upon its Agriculture department with the recruitment of Elizabeth Higgins, Agriculture and Natural Resources Issue Leader. Liz wasn’t always on the path in agricul-

ture that she’s on now.

After studying natural resources and economics at the University of Massachusetts, Liz was headed to work with the Peace Corps to contribute her skills in developing countries abroad. After falling in

love with a fellow graduate student, now husband, she switched gears and took a job as an Ag Policy Analyst for a small non-profit organization in Washington, D.C. working with farm families during the 1995 Farm Bill. This opportu-

nity introduced Liz’s career in Agriculture.

According to Liz, the most rewarding part of her career is offering people the education to make more informed decisions. “I’ve stopped people from making bad

decisions and that’s satisfying,” Liz explains, “I worked with a landowner who didn’t realize flood insurance was needed or could be purchased for their property. That person ended up purchasing it right before Hurri-

cane Irene.”

Liz is bringing a broad background in Agriculture and Natural Resources practices and programs to Sullivan County. “I’ve worked all over the U.S. and I’ve seen a lot,” she said. She has worked broadly across areas in Family & Consumer Science, 4H Youth Development, Natural Resources, Economics, Rural Development, Business, and Finance. In reference to the relevance of her experience in Economics, Liz goes on to say, “The Ag business sector is on par with others, with some similarities and dif ferences, but… farmers are businessmen too — they’re very entrepreneurial.”

Livestock and Agronomy are fields in agriculture that Liz has had exposure to, but is not experienced by training.

However, Cornell Cooperative Extension Sullivan County is currently accepting applications for a Livestock Resource Educator. “Once we have that person on our team, Sullivan County Agriculture will be in a really good position. In the meantime, if you have livestock-related questions, just give me a call. I may not be an expert but I am used to being a generalist.”

Outside of the office, Liz spends time with her husband, two children, two cats, dog, and fish.

She enjoys gardening, trap shooting, fishing, and hiking with her family. Liz admits, “Mostly, in my spare time, I drive my kids around!”

Cornell Cooperative Extension Sullivan County welcomes Liz Higgins to its team of highly trained professional staff. “I am very excited to welcome Liz to the team in CCE Sullivan,” Executive Director Lee Reidy says, “Her skills in Ag Economic Development will greatly enhance our programming here in Sullivan County.”

Please contact the Cornell Cooperative Extension Sullivan County Office if you have any special needs.

Agriculture, Main Street NJ partnership helps West Orange Farmers Market flourish Many benefits of market touted by officials during opening day visit WEST ORANGE, NJ — New Jersey Secretary of Agriculture Douglas H. Fisher and Jef Buehler of the Department of Community Affairs’ Main Street New Jersey program on June 29 visited the West Orange Farmers Market to highlight the opening of most farmers markets in the state for Fourth of July week and the many benefits they bring to their host communities, its citizens and the farmers who sell at the markets.

Secretary Fisher commended Main Street New Jersey for helping to develop the farmers market in West Orange and many other towns that have gone through their program.

“These markets give our state’s farmers a

place to sell their justpicked fruits and vegetables directly to consumers, who have an opportunity to access this fresh produce through assistance programs for purchasing New Jersey agricultural products,” said Secretary Fisher. “It is a great time to visit a farmers market now because many of our summertime crops have arrived early this year, so look for all your favorites such as Jersey Fresh tomatoes, sweet corn, peaches and blueberries.”

New Jersey has 148 farmers markets, with 10 new markets opening this season. Main Street New Jersey (MSNJ) has assisted in the development of markets in 67 percent of its program communities.

The West Orange Farmers Market is one such market and is run by the Downtown West Orange

Alliance. It is open every Friday from 12 to 6 p.m. in the parking lot behind Town Hall at 66 Main Street and features two farmers and various vendors. A designated MSNJ community since 2004, the Downtown West Orange Alliance, Inc. is the non-profit organization that manages the town’s Special Improvement District (SID) encouraging

economic revitalization of the neighborhoods known as Tory Corner, Eagle Rock, St. Mark’s and the Valley.

“Farmer’s Markets are an important magnet for bringing people back into the downtown as well as providing affordable healthy produce to the community,” said Community Affairs Commissioner Richard E. Consta-

ble III. “In several cases downtown farmer’s markets have also served as a micro business incubator with new entrepreneurs trying out products during a season and later being assisted by the local Main Street organization to find a downtown space to open a restaurant, food production facility or retail shop,” said Buehler,

State Director, Office of Main Street New Jersey & I m p r o v e m e n t District Programs.

Special events and farmer’s markets are only part of the comprehensive revitalization program undertaken by communities operating as a designated or selected Main Street New Jersey Community with the National Trust for His-

by Phoebe Hall 51st year of farming It is the first week of July 2012 and we’re now on our way to our 51st year of farming. It’s been a good journey, although I wouldn’t recommend it for everyone. But it was a very good place for us to raise and try and equip our children for whatever the world throws at them.

This year reminds us a lot of the 1988 drought, except that the temperatures are around 10 degrees cooler on average. I remember talking to a nonfarmer back then about the drought and he told us that he had no idea that there was a drought.

But we are in something, just ask the dairy farmers who are trying to keep their cows cool enough to produce milk and are watching their alfalfa fields yielding around half the normal yields. They also know by the looks of the corn that they may be buying more feed than they

National Farmers Union (NFU) led a coalition of agriculture, conservation, energy, forestry, livestock, hunger and rural organizations thanking U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Agriculture Chairman Frank Lucas, R-OK, and Ranking Member Collin Peterson, D-MN, for their leadership on the 2012 Farm Bill so far. The coalition also urged the full Committee on Agriculture to work together in a cooperative, bipartisan fashion.

“This letter demonstrates the strong support for completing a bipartisan farm bill before the Sept. 30 deadline,” said NFU President Roger Johnson.

“Every voter in this country depends on the farm bill, so we cannot lose sight of the bigger picture.”

The coalition letter was signed by 77 organizations.

planned on. Unless this drought is lifted, it can only mean higher prices for the consumer.

It’s very depressing watching the crops suffer from this heat and lack of adequate moisture. Trying to farm through these droughts is not fun nor is it easy!

P.S. This morning we had a shower…THANK GOD! How can men be wise? The only way to begin is by reverence for God. For growth in wisdom comes from obeying his laws. Praise his name forever.

NFU leads coalition calling for action on 2012 Farm Bill portant for every single American, not just farmers and ranchers,” the letter states. “In addition to helping farmers plan ahead and mitigate risk to survive the tough times, the bill provides critical investment in rural communities, conserves precious natural resources like soil and water, provides food for those less fortunate, and creates new sources of energy made here at home.

We urge the committee to work in a cooperative, bipartisan fashion to move the bill to the floor.”

A Few Words

With the dry spell we are experiencing at the moment, my lawn mowing has decreased immensely. In fact I’m not sure when I’ll have to venture out again, but I’m not complaining with the oppressive heat outside during the day. In the morning when it is down to 70, it seems cold.

We’ve noticed more animals making the trip up to the pond during the night looking for some water. It happens every time there is a drought, which seems like it is every other year. I heard on the news this morning that we aren’t in a drought yet, except for those that are in the agriculture sector. It also stated that the rainfall is five inches below normal and no major precipitation is predicted in the near furture.

Utilizing New York State Conservation Project Financial Assistance funds, the Albany County Soil and Water Conservation District is offering a Tire Recycling event to Albany County residents. The event will take place on Aug. 8, from 4-6 p.m., at the Albany County Department of Public Works, Rensselaerville Division. Only car and light truck tires will be accepted.

Preregistration is required and will be accepted until July 23 on a first come first served basis. Due to current regulations the District is limited to collecting 999 tires and cannot accept more than 25 tires per household.

“This is a great opportunity for the residents of Albany County to gather up old unused tires and bring them in for proper disposal” said Conservation

District Administrative Manager & Technical Assistant, Susan Lewis.

“This program will help keep the tires out of the landfill and ensure that they are not being illegally dumped in streams or along roadsides.”

The Albany County Soil and Water Conservation District works to conserve the natural resources of Albany County for the future.

We partner

with landowners, municipalities, agencies and local officials to identify issues and implement conservation projects that protect water quality. For more information on this program and the many other services your County Soil and Water Conservation District offers, call 518-765-SWCD or visit www.albanycounty.com/swcd.

2013 so it is going to be hard to breed for both markets. In fact you may even want to pull the buck out for a week in mid to late August depending on how tolerant your Western Easter market is of underweight kids and your Greek Easter Market is of overweight kids. In contrast, both Western and Greek Easter are on April 20th in 2014.

Please keep in mind that the best time to put your bucks in with your does will depend on 1) your market’s

weight preferences, 2) the expected birth weight of your kids, and 3) the expected daily growth rates of your kids.

Be sure to talk to potential buyers in advance to find out their weight preferences for Easter kids and at what weight they will start paying you less per pound live weight. If they buy kids by the hanging carcass, do you have past experience knowing what size carcasses your suckling kids will usually produce? A very rough estimate (if you

have nothing else to go on) is that the hanging carcass weight will be about 50 percent of the live weight.

Targeting holidays when the demand for goats and lambs is high can help make marketing easier for you. However, a little advanced planning will help increase the chances that your animals are in the optimum weight range for you with regard to earnings yet still satisfy your buyer’s demands.

Breedings from A7 bring the buck into the herd by July 20 and hope that your does have begun to cycle by then. If your buyer is tolerant of kids weighing more than 40 pounds you should move your breeding date forward accordingly and introduce your buck into the herd even earlier in July.

You can also lead him through the herd starting in early July to “tease” the does. This can help to stimulate the does to start coming into heat.

Greek Easter is not until May 5 in

Save the date! The 2012 Cornell Sheep & Goat Symposium is in October

by Dr. tatiana Luisa Stanton Cornell University will be focusing on sheep and goats on Friday, Oct. 26 and Saturday, Oct. 27. We’ll start out with the “Pre-symposium Hands-on Activities” at the Cornell Sheep Farm in Harford, NY from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Friday.

Prospective or novice goat and sheep owners will learn how to trim hooves, give vaccinations, eartag and tattoo.

They’ll also practice their skills at body condition and FAMACHA scoring.

We’ll have goats and sheep for each group of farmers to work with, respectively. We’ll also cover general management, choosing a breed, and evaluating animals for soundness and productivity. Later in the day we’ll work on hay evaluation, pasture management, and tour the sheep farm.

Starting at 2:30 p.m. on Friday, more experienced farmers will have

an opportunity to work with Dr. Mary Smith, DVM doing field necropsies and learning which photos to take if your vet is assisting you over the internet with the necropsy. This event will also take place at the Cornell Sheep Farm. Saturday we will move over to Morrison Hall on the Cornell Campus, Ithaca, NY. Dr. Steve Hart from the American Institute for Goat Research is our guest speaker and will discuss “what’s new in parasite management” as well as leading several other workshops and a

FAMACHA certification Program. We’ll have workshops on dairy goats and sheep, as well as on meat enterprises and fiber production.

Speakers will include researchers and grazing consultants as well as several New York farmers and extension educators with lots of handson experience raising small ruminants. Information about the symposium schedule, registration fees, and housing is available on the web at www.sheep.cornell.edu and www.ansci. cornell.edu/goats.

and contribute to a security fund in order to offer protection to farmers in the event of a defaulted payment.

“The Agricultural Producers Security Law has been effective for many years in ensuring that our farmers receive the payment they are owed for the products they produce,” the Commissioner said. “In order for farmers to be protected under this important and effective law, they must make sure they are selling to a licensed dealer, and they must notify the Department immediately in the event of nonpayment. It is critical that farmers become familiar with the details of the Agricultural Producers Security Law so they can be protected financially in a swift and effective manner.”

Farm product dealers are required to be licensed with the Department of Agriculture and Markets. Dealers’ licens-

es expire on April 30 of each year and must be renewed for the license year beginning May 1.

The Department maintains a current list of licensed dealers on the Department’s website and will provide a hard copy upon request.

Article 20 of the New York State Agriculture and Markets Law provides financial protection for farmers against nonpayment for their products sold to licensed dealers. This financial protection consists of security in the form of a bond or letter of credit furnished by the dealer, and supplemental financial coverage from the Agricultural Producers Security Fund, which is funded by licensed dealers. In order to preserve a producer’s eligibility for the financial protections available under the Agricultural Producers Security Law, producers must: 1. Sell only to licensed dealers. Only sales to licensed dealers are covered under Article 20.

The dealer must be li-

censed at the time of the transaction.

2. Ensure that the sale of farm products between the producer and dealer, for which a claim is made, has occurred within 120 days from the earliest unpaid transaction date at the time the claim is filed. Unpaid transactions that occur after the 120 day period will not be eligible.

3. Claims of nonpayment must be filed with the Department no later than 365 days after the sale and delivery of the farm products. In the event the Department has issued a notice to file claims, claims must be submitted by the date specified in the published notice.

A producer can also take advantage of Article 20’s trust provision, a legal mechanism that holds a dealer responsible for the full amount owed to a producer. The “Article 20 Trust” is established upon delivery of the producer’s farm products to a dealer and ends once the amount

due is fully paid. The trust assets are the farm products and the proceeds from the sale of those farm products. To take advantage of the Article 20 Trust, a producer must provide a written notice to the dealer within 60 days from the date when payment is due informing the dealer that the producer is electing the trust benefit. The written notice must provide details of the transaction, including the dealer’s name, transaction date, product sold, quantity, price per unit, amount owed and the date payment is due. As a practical matter, a producer may wish to provide written notice to a dealer on the invoice itself. The Department recommends that producers consult with their attorney concerning matters involving preservation of their trust benefit, or to enforce the trust.

Week Ending July 6 Weather issues: Aside from having to cope with the second heat wave of the summer like everyone else, farmers in the Vineland-Atlantic County area of South Jersey were in the path of a severe storm late evening on June 29. It was a fast moving front of violent thunderstorms, called a “derecho,” that swept across the Ohio Valley into the Washington-Baltimore metro area and as far north as Atlantic County, NJ. There were reports of wind damaging vegetable plants and knocking off ripening fruit and berries. But the chief impact was a massive power outage in subsequent days, once again affecting electric-powered pumps for well water and refrigeration units. Thousands of residential customers were greatly inconvenienced during the past days of sweltering heat.

State budget: Governor Christie had the last say on approving the $31.7 billion Fiscal Year 2013 state budget. He first exercised his line item veto to strip out $361 million in line items favored by the legislative leadership. He coupled that by calling a special session of both houses on July 2, during which he cajoled his opposition to immediately enact a modest tax cut for most New Jerseyans. His appeal was shrugged off, but not before the Republican governor was able to make good political use of some recent bipartisan success stories (higher ed reform, teacher tenure, etc.). This budget is largely the one the governor recommended in Feb-

ruary, which uses highly optimistic revenue projections and tinkers around the edges on spending items. Agriculture spending for the NJDA, NJAES and open space acquisition programs continues in place, mostly flat.

State legislation: Two bills not widely publicized were passed in the pre-summer recess session that are of interest to agriculture. The first is a bill on solar energy (S-1925, A-2966) that will step up the percentage of solarproduced renewable energy the BPU will require power companies must purchase. That mandate will increase the value of S-RECS, the tradable certificate earned by solar panel owners who produce electricity. The bill also stems the growth of large, utility-scale solar projects on farmland. It does so by imposing a 10 MW limit on such projects and otherwise imposes a higher level of BPU scrutiny as a condition of approval. The bill sponsors are Senator Robert Smith and Assembly member Upendra Chivakula; it now sits on the governor’s desk.

The state’s voters will have a referendum on the ballot this November for higher education capital projects as a result of the other bill of interest. It is called “Building Our Future Bond Act” and would authorize $750 million in general obligation bonds for capital improvement and construction projects at New Jersey’s public colleges. The bill easily passed both houses once the Rutgers re-organization deal was done.

The Christie administration also favors.

Northeast ag credit conditions: Farm Credit East, the largest lender to Northeast agriculture, issued a 2012 mid-year credit outlook that reports “a good financial position” overall, although some producers have been “hurt badly” by weather conditions/inability to adjust to increasing production costs. Greenhouse growers and some nurseries had long-overdue good business this spring, while tree fruit and grape growers were not as fortunate due to damaging cold temperatures. Production costs for many animal-based farm products are at record levels. Milk prices have declined significantly while commodities like corn and soybeans are coming off a couple of very strong years, according to Farm Credit East. Said CEO Bill Lipinski: “the last 18 months have shown, perhaps more than ever, that the economic conditions of Northeast agriculture is a very individual story. The big variables have been local weather conditions, the type of crop or livestock pro-

duced, and marketing techniques”, (SOURCE: Farm Credit East “2012 MidYear Credit Situation and Outlook Report”, 6-26-12.

Milk Prices Are Headed Back Up But They Better Be Issued July 6, 2012 Farm milk prices have bottomed out and reversing gears. The Agriculture Department announced the June Federal order Class III price at $15.63 per hundredweight (cwt.) up 40 cents from May, $3.48 below June 2011, 98 cents above California’s comparable 4b price, and equates to about $1.34 per gallon. That put the 2012 Class III average at $15.90, down from $17.06 at this time a year ago and compares to $13.58 in 2010 and $10.19 in 2009.

Looking ahead, Class III futures were trading late Friday morning as follows: July $16.71; August, $17.50; September, $17.82; October, $17.80; November, $17.55; and December was at $17.44 per cwt. That would result in a second half average of $17.47 versus $15.90 in the first half.

The June Class IV price is $13.24, down 31 cents from May and $7.81below a year ago.

The four week AMSsurveyed cheese price averaged $1.5846 per pound, up 6.3 cents from May. Butter averaged $1.3991, up 3.3 cents, nonfat dry milk $1.1023, down 5.3 cents, and dry whey averaged 50.13 cents, down 3.8 cents from May. California’s comparable June 4b cheese milk price is $14.65 per cwt., up $1.09 from May but $4.14 below a year ago. The 4a butter -powder price is $13.17, down 28 cents from May and $7.62 below a year ago. The 4b price average for 2012 now stands at $13.83, down from $15.67 a year ago and compares to $12.29 in 2010. The 4a price average now stands at $14.73, down from $18.94 a year ago and compares to $13.69 in 2010.

Dairy margins were mixed over the last two weeks of June, holding steady in the third quar-

ter of 2012, but weakening in deferred periods as strength in milk was more focused on nearby contracts and only partially helped to offset surging feed costs, according to the latest Dairy Margin report from Commodity & Ingredient Hedging, LLC and reported by Dairy Profit Weekly (DPW).

Affecting margins, the second half of June featured a blistering corn rally brought on by sharply deteriorating crop conditions due to expanding drought across the Midwest.

USDA’s Cold Storage report showed May 31 American cheese stocks totaled 623.2 million pounds, down 9.5 million from April and only slightly above a year ago.

Given that stocks normally tend to increase between April and May (with 2007 being the only other exception in recent times), the data suggest better demand and supports the firming

cheese price trend during June.

Cash block cheese closed the 4th of July week at $1.64 per pound, down a penny on the holiday-shortened week, 47 cents below a year ago, and 3 1/2-cents below the barrels. The barrels held all week at $1.6750, 42 3/4-cents below a year ago. Three carloads of block traded hands on the week and none of barrel. The AMS-surveyed U.S. average block priced hit $1.6346, up 1.2 cents, while the barrels averaged $1.6220, up 4.1 cents.

Cheese prices across the country continue to show strength, according to USDA’s Dairy Market News. Retail sales are good. Cheese production continues to hold fairly steady with marginal declines, due to declining milk production. There have been few concerns from cheese manufacturers about milk availability. Production has been geared to build inventories in case of shorter milk supplies later in the summer, according to USDA, but increasing price levels are beginning to impact export sales.

Cash butter closed Friday at $1.5325, up a half-cent on the week

but 49 3/4- cents below a year ago. Three cars found new homes. AMS butter averaged $1.4695, up 7.1 cents.

Butter churns are operating on busy schedules although cream volumes are tightening.

Class II demand continues to pull significant volumes of cream, especially for ice cream and mix needs. Butter demand is steady at generally good levels coast to coast. Retail ads indicate that butter ranges from $1.49 in the Central part of the country to $3.99 per pound in the Northeast and Southeast with a national average of $2.48.

May butter production totaled 163 million pounds, according to USDA’s latest Dairy Products report, down 3.8 percent from April but 4.8 percent above May 2011. Nonfat dry milk output hit 195 million pounds, up 1.7 percent from April and 31.4 percent above a year ago.

American type cheese output, at 376 million pounds, was up 1.1 percent from April and just 0.9 percent above a year ago. Total cheese production hit 916 million pounds, up 1.4 percent from April and just 0.4 percent above a year

ago. The Daily Dairy Report says declining cheese production is likely to limit downside risk in the domestic cheese market.

Cash nonfat dry milk was unchanged, with Grade A remaining at $1.2275 and Extra Grade at $1.1950. AMS powder averaged $1.0977, down 1.1 cent. Dry whey averaged 48.68 cents, also down 1.1 cent.

Milk production across the country is being impacted by an array of factors ranging from nearly perfect conditions, tropical storm Debbie, too much moisture, not enough moisture, and hot, record setting, temperatures. All of these factors have occurred in various areas from coast to coast at varying rates during the past week causing milk production to be irregular for all Class needs. I got a personal reminder of how hot it can get in the Midwest, making a quick trip to Wisconsin to visit family this week. Temperatures topping 100 sent me packing for my cooler and greener home in the Pacific Northwest.

Cooperatives Working Together (CWT) accepted 14 requests for export assistance this week to

sell a total of 2.2 million pounds of cheese to customers in Asia-Pacific, North Africa, Central America and the Middle East. The product will be delivered through October and brings CWT’s 2012 cheese exports to 66.3 million pounds, plus 45.2 million pounds of butter and anhydrous milk fat.

Speaking of the world dairy market, FC Stone’s July 3 eDairy Insider Closing Bell reports that GlobalDairyTrade (GDT) prices dropped this week, with the trade-weighted average for all products and contract periods down 5.9 percent.

Anhydrous milk fat led the declines, down 10.4 percent across all contracts, and skim milk powder prices dropped an average 9.8 percent.

Average prices fell 4.1 percent for whole milk powder, 4.5 percent for rennet casein, 3.8 percent for lactose, 3.6 percent for milk protein concentrate, and 0.7 percent each for cheddar cheese and butter milk powder.

Dewomers are chemicals, or drugs, that have been evaluated and tested for effectiveness and safety for use in animals to remove (i.e. kill) worm parasites. They are also referred to as “Anthelmintics”. For the most part, pharmaceutical companies will not market a dewormer unless it is essentially 100 percent effective. As long as dewormers remain effective at the manufacture’s recommended dosage, control is relatively easy and cost-effective. However, resistance to almost all dewormers has been developed by many worm species. Therefore, reliance on the use of dewormers has become limited.

Only FDA-approved dewormers (see Classes) can be used legally without restrictions. All other dewormers, if used, are extra-label and are subject to specific regulations as outlined by the FDA. Because of public concern over food product residues and environmental contamination with chemicals that may be harmful, the FDA has recently revised the rules and regulations governing use of chemicals in food-animal production. In summary, producers and veterinarians have to pay attention to extra-label use, which means using a product for a purpose other than what it was approved for.

Because goats are a relatively minor livestock species, pharmaceutical companies cannot recover the costs that would be incurred for them to pursue approval and labeling. For a veterinarian to use a dewomer extra-label, a valid veterinarian-client relationship is necessary. The veterinarian has to have contact with the animals and make a diagnosis that the parasite situation is potentially life-threatening.

The veterinarian has to establish that none of the approved dewormers will work through fecal egg count reduction testing. Once the approved dewormers have been tested and if none works, then other dewormers can be used extra-label. The Food Animal

Residue Avoidance Databank (FARAD) www.farad.org/ provides the recommendations on the dosage and withdrawal times for commonly used dewormers. The veterinarian has to take responsibility for prescribing the dewormer, and the producer has to take responsibility for using it properly. In the absence of a valid veterinarianclient relationship, the producer is restricted and cannot legally use an unapproved product extra-label.

Classes The three general classes of dewormers are benzimidazoles, imidazothiazoles and macrolides. The more commonly used benzimidazole dewormers are fenbendazole (Safeguard, Panacur) and albendazole (Valbazen); imidazothiazole dewormers are levamisole (Levisol, Tramisol) and morantel tartrate (Rumatel); and macrolide dewormers are ivermectin (Ivomec) and moxidectin (Cydectin). Of these, only fenbendazole, albendazole and morantel tartrate are currently approved for use in goats. All others would be used as extra-label. A number of these dewormers have gone off-patent and are now marketed under different generic names.

Formulations Formulations of dewormers include drench, injection and pour-on. In addition, some dewormers are marketed in feed supplement blocks, mineral mixes, pellets and cubes. For goats, only the drench formulation of fenbendazole and albendazole, and the feed formulation of morantel tartrate are approved for use.

Administration Oral administration is preferred; and with drenches, it is very important to make sure the product is delivered over the base of the tongue. By doing so, the dose is delivered to the rumen where it will be mixed with the ingesta and then distributed evenly throughout the gastrointestinal tract. If the

dose is delivered into the front part of the mouth, the animal may spit all or part of it out. Additionally the swallowing or “gag” reflex may stimulate closure of the esophageal groove, causing the product to bypass the rumen.

When the rumen is bypassed, the dose goes directly into the omasum (third stomach) and moves quickly through the gastrointestinal tract, thus not allowing sufficient time for the anthelmintic to achieve full effectiveness.

The other form of oral administration is in feed products, which does not ensure that all animals will receive an effective dose because individual animals utilize these products differently.

Some animals eat more or less than others due to their appetite, their place in the pecking order or their distaste for the formulation — specifically pelleted dewormers, supplement blocks and mineral mixes.

Although it is not recommended to do so, if one elects to use injectable products, injections are subcutaneous and best administered in an area of exposed skin, usually under the front legs, so that it’s possible to see the dose being delivered. It is best to not “tent” the skin. Just lay the needle on the skin and insert it quickly. If the skin is tented, the needle may come out the other side and the injected material will be administered on the skin surface. If the injection is given in an area covered by hair, it can be difficult to ensure that the needle actually penetrates the skin and the dose is delivered appropriately. Sometimes the injected material will run back out of the needle hole, so make sure to press a finger over the injection site for a few seconds to prevent leakage. If one elects to use a pour-on product, which is also not recommended, the material has to be delivered on to the skin. Parting of the hair may be necessary to achieve this, particularly if the hair is long. There are mixed reports as to

whether pour-ons, approved for use in cattle only, work on goats. For the most part, they do not seem to be that effective in goats and may also cause skin irritation.

Resistance The major problem encountered in controlling nematode parasitism in goats is the genetic resistance that many worm populations — specifically H. contortus (barber pole worm) — have developed to essentially all of our dewormers. Resistance has developed primarily because dewormers have been used and rotated too frequently and many times under-dosing occurs.

Continuing to use such a dewormer will increase the selection of more resistant worms which will eventually result in a population of “superworms” that can’t be controlled with drugs.

There is no silver bullet one can rely upon. Resistance is genetically controlled, and once established, it is set in the population, and those dewormers can no longer be used effectively.

Bill. As expected, the dairy title contains provisions of the Dairy Security Act, authored by Rep. Peterson (D-MN) and based on National Milk’s “Foundation for the Future program.”

Processors continue to oppose its supply management provisions and, in a press release this week stated that the stabilization program is “designed to limit milk supplies and to periodically raise milk prices. It will reduce dairy farmers’ incomes at the same time that a new subsidized revenue insurance plan enhances their incomes.

Taxpayer organizations, consumer groups, dairy food manufacturers, and many dairy producers, including the second largest dairy coop in the country, have all spoken out against supply management programs.”

The International Dairy Foods Association urged the committee to “provide revenue or margin insurance for dairy farmers without also mandating that they participate in a program that will impose government control over the supply and demand for milk. National Milk praised the Farm Bill Draft and

said “The bill reflects the best-possible outcome for America’s dairy farmer community, which is in great need of a better federal safety net than what we have now.”

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the growth hormone rBST (bovine somatotrophin) for use in 1994. Six years after adoption, approximately 18.3 percent of the U.S. dairy herd was treated with rBST, according to USDA survey data and reported in the June 29 issue of the Daily Dairy Report. Since then, the percent of U.S. dairy cows treated with rBST has fallen from 15.5 percent in 2005 to 8.8 percent in 2010. USDA tracks rBST use along with milking frequency and organic milk production as part of the periodic Agricultural Resource Management Survey (ARMS).

The 2010 ARMS data provided rBST use by herd size and state. While rBST is used on farms of various sizes, it is not used in every state. For example, 2 percent of the cows in herds with less than 50 cows were treated with rBST. However, it might be more surprising to

learn that the greatest use of rBST at 21.9 percent occurred on dairies with 500 to 999 cows, while just 6.8 percent of cows in herds of more than 1,000 received rBST. Kansas had the most prevalent use of rBST in 2010 with 31percent of the state’s herd treated followed by Wisconsin with 21.5 percent. However, Pennsylvania ranked third in rBST use with 20.4 percent of the state’s herd treated. Minnesota was fourth in use and New York was fifth, with 18.6 percent and 13.4 percent of the cows treated, respectively. Iowa roundedout the states with double-digit rBST use at 13.3 percent.

California, the largest milk-producing state, reported that 5 percent of its herd received rBST in 2010. States that reported no use of rBST include: Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Maine, Michigan, Oregon, Tennessee, Virginia, and Washington. Analyst and Editor, Mary Ledman, discusses the study in the “Daily Dairy Discussion audio file at www.dailydairyreport.com.

Mielke from A22 corn has been associated with very hot dry conditions in the central and eastern Corn Belt, with indications that yield prospects have been reduced substantially in those areas, according to Darrel Good, University of Illinois ag economist and reported by DPW. As the market continues to try to determine production prospects, it’s also assessing the likely strength of demand. Corn exports continue to lag the pace needed to reach previous USDA projections. Ethanol production is now slowing, as the combination of lower gasoline prices and higher corn prices has squeezed margins. Due to an early spring, and early harvest (pre Sept. 1) will skew domestic use figures.

The dilemma is it is far from clear how much corn will be available next year, warns DPW. Based on recent and upcoming weather, there is considerable risk that the yield will be below forecast levels. If so, even higher prices are possible.

Trucks ATA hails transportation bill as step forward for safety, efficiency ARLINGTON, VA — On June 28, American Trucking Associations saluted members of the House and Senate conference committee for their work in passing a safety-conscious highway bill that lays a solid foundation for addressing America’s need for an efficient goods movement network.

“This legislation, while not all we could have hoped for as an industry and as users of the highway system, makes tremendous strides in the safety arena and puts down a marker for future improvements to our nation’s freight infrastructure,” ATA President and CEO Bill Graves said. “On behalf of ATA, I’d like to thank Chairmen Boxer and Mica, and all the conferees for putting partisanship aside and putting together a compromise bill that will benefit not just the trucking industry, but highway safety and the economy as a whole and urge all members of Congress to quickly pass this critical legislation.”

Graves said of particular importance was the committee’s inclusion of several initiatives advocated by ATA, including a requirement that commercial trucks use electronic logging devices to record drivers’ compliance with hours of service limits, the creation of a clearinghouse to track drug and alcohol test results, a study of crashworthiness standards for large trucks, the establishment of standards for systems to provide employers with timely notifications of drivers’ moving violations, and mandatory testing of new carriers entering the industry to verify their knowledge of safety requirements.

“Despite misinformation from a vocal minority, the conferees have set

our industry on the path to even greater improvements in safety by requiring the Department of Transportation to mandate that truck drivers use electronic devices to record their compliance with the hours of service requirements,” Graves said.

“This is a tremendous leap forward for trucking, which will bring our compliance systems into the 21st Century, leveling the playing field for our industry and lead to even fewer crashes on our nation’s highways.

“In addition to the ELD requirement, the bill also requires DOT to conduct a field study of pending changes to the restart provisions in the hoursof-service regulations.

ATA has pressed DOT to follow through on the recommendations of their own researchers to confirm their finding in a ‘real-world‘ field study before implementing the pending changes. Logically, DOT should confirm the efficacy of the planned changes in the real world, before making the new provisions effective,” Graves said.

The bill also lays a foundation for much needed improvements in

freight transportation, albeit without the increases in funding necessary to address our growing needs.

“ATA has long supported increasing user fees, specifically the diesel tax, to fund overdue repair and expansion of our highway system,” said ATA Chairman Dan England, chairman of C.R. England Inc., Salt Lake City. “While this bill does not do that, it does make impressive reforms to the planning process which will reduce costs and speed construction

projects, including making freight transportation a greater priority, along with providing certain enticements for states to fund freight projects. It is our sincere hope that as these reforms take effect, Congress quickly gets back to drafting legislation that provides the adequate funding we need to maintain and grow our infrastructure network and dedicates funds to the movement of freight.”

Despite all these advances, one area where the bill falls significantly

“While there is much to like about this bill, ATA is extremely disappointed that Congress has once again kicked the can down the road with respect to truck productivity,” Graves said. “By giving into fearbased misinformation, this bill delays the de-

Agriculture Counts!

by Kevin Pautler, Director NAASS-PA

by Kevin Pautler, Director NASS-PA Editor’s Note: This is a monthly column from the Pennsylvania Field Office of USDA’s National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS-PA) operated in cooperation with the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture. The website is www.nass.usda.gov; for the reports mentioned below, click on the “Publications” tab.

Crop and fruit yields: From May to November, NASS publishes monthly official USDA yield and production forecasts for the major field crops and tree fruits in Pennsylvania and around the country. Forecasts are based on responses to periodic fruit surveys and monthly Ag Yield Surveys when farmers estimate expected yields from their own fields.

Forecasted crops include: winter wheat, barley, oats, corn for grain, soybeans, hay, hay stocks, apples, peaches, pears and tart cherries.

We ask growers because they are the best source of information about the crops they grow. They see the crop de-

velop daily and they have the best idea of how recent weather has affected their crop. Using their years of experience, they can make the best estimate of their expected yields based on current crop conditions.

It is too risky to use weather predictions when setting yield forecasts.

Forecasts are based on information from farmers who must assume that average conditions will prevail through the end of the season. Potential lower yields from drought, flood or other poor growing conditions are reflected in the following months’ yield surveys.

These production forecasts give an important advance warning of the size of each crop in Pennsylvania and across the nation. For example, if a large crop is expected, contract harvesters, packers, transportation companies and storage facilities must be ready to handle the extra volume. A small crop warns about the possible need to plan for alternate livestock feed sources or drought assistance.

syrup production in 2012 totaled 1.91 million gallons, down 32 percent from 2011. There were 9.77 million taps set this year compared to 9.58 million taps last year, up 2 percent. Each tap averaged 0.195 gallons of syrup, down 33 percent from last year.

In Pennsylvania, the value of the 2011 crop was $5.12 million, up from the $2.27 million in 2010. Nationally, the crop was valued at $106 million for 2011, up 44 percent from the previous year. The value of production was up in all States.

Complete statistics for major maple-producing states are found on pages 12 and 13 in the June issue of the “Crop Production” report released June 12, 2012. It can be found at www.nass.usda.gov.

U.S. cattle counted: Cattle inventories are measured twice a year along with births and deaths in January and July. On Jan. 1, 2012, Pennsylvania farms had 1.61 million bovine on hand, unchanged from previous year. Decreases were seen in milk cows and calves.

Increases

were seen in beef cows, milk cow replacement heifers, and beef cow replacement heifers.

In July, about 10,000 of the largest cattle and dairy operations are contacted nationwide to help establish official statistics at the national level.

In Pennsylvania, only 170 of the largest cattle and dairy operators are asked for their help with this national study.

However, the Cattle Survey in January includes many more farms from Pennsylvania and across the nation which allows us to publish state level

statistics for Pennsylvania and other states.

The Cattle report is published on July 20.

The Cattle statistics program also includes reports detailing cattle on feed, average prices received by growers, production, disposition & income, slaughter statistics and beef products in cold storage.

The results of cattle surveys can be found at www.nass.usda.gov.

New York State summer 2012 Christmas tree farm tour WATKINS GLEN, NY — The 2012 summer tree farm tour of the Christmas Tree Farmers Association of New York (CTFANY) will be held on Friday, July 20, and Saturday, July 21, at Empire Evergreens, 766 Addison Road, Painted Post, NY. Registration begins at 8 a.m. each day.

The two day program offers valuable information for experienced growers as well as those just starting out with Christmas trees. The keynote speaker is Martha Glass, Manager of the Agritourism Office with the North Carolina Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. In addition to her Saturday morning plenary session “Christmas Tree Farm Extras — Hmmm!”, Glass will also lead an afternoon workshop titled “After the Season — What Then?”

Empire Evergreens owner and tour host Dave Weil will show some of the unique equipment that makes his three-person operation highly efficient.

Much of the equipment was developed or modified for the farm, including a one-of-a-kind, track-mounted sprayer not readily found on the east coast.

Experts from Cornell plan to integrate Empire Evergreens’ fields into

their presentations. Sessions in the plantation will allow attendees to see some “challenge areas” where trees are not developing to their full potential or aren’t growing at all. Experts will discuss some of the possible causes and potential remedies.

Various shearing techniques will also be demonstrated. Different markets and grades of trees determine the best technique. There will be three onecredit Pesticide Application presentations on the program — one is scheduled for Friday and two on Saturday.

Three sessions on Saturday are designed for new growers and beginning farmers. These workshops will cover everything from site and seed selection to cultural practices. A mentoring session featuring experienced growers from across New York State will provide useful insight as the panelists take a look back to their beginnings and share, “I wish I knew then what I know now.”

There is a robust Wreath, Greens & Marketing track running both days of the program. Experts in the field will cover both beginning and more advanced wreath-making techniques and trends. Among other presenters, Cathy

Jo Brown and Dave and Marcia Hicks will share their talents.

Back by popular demand are presentations from the New York State Police and the New York State Department of Transportation (DOT). The purpose of these talks is to make growers aware of their responsibilities when using pubic highways with their equipment and inviting the public onto their farms.

On Friday night, there will be a cash bar with 20 plus vendors in the trade show area; and a chicken BBQ. Registration includes admission to all sessions and the trade show area, workshop materials, and morning refreshments. Lunch is available both days with advance ticket purchase or bring your own. A registration form can be downloaded from the Association website at www.christmastreesny.org or call the CTFANY office

at 607-535-9790.

Empire Evergreens was founded in 2002 by owner Dave Weil. The farm now has over 100 acres in trees. The farm produces wholesale cut trees, balled and burlap trees, choose and cut trees, wreaths, and greens.

The purpose of CTFANY, which was begun in 1953, is to provide information and opportunities for Association members and education to the public about the real tree industry and the benefits of farm fresh and fragrant Christmas trees and evergreen products. According to the National Ag Statistics Service, New York State is the seventh largest producer of real Christmas trees in the nation. In 2007, the estimated value of New York State’s cut-tree crop was over $8.8 million.

A major sponsor of the Tour is the Farm Family Insurance Company.

Genetics Although genetic-evaluation programs are new to the goat industry, producers have used information from these types of programs for many years to make genetic improvements. Most genetic-evaluation programs are managed by breed associations and are used to compare registered animals within the breed. Breeders collect individual animal performance measures and submit it to the

breed association managing the program.

Then, the information submitted for an animal and all of its relatives can be used to predict future offspring performance. Most of the major sheep breeds, including the Katahdin, have a breed-improvement program in place, and some Boer and Kiko goat associations have also started genetic-evaluation programs.

Genetic-evaluation programs can help pro-

duce unbiased information for selection of breeding stock such as Expected Progeny Differences (EPDs). An EPD is a numerical estimate of the value of an animal for one specific trait; it tells us the possible differences of a goats’ offspring compared to the average of the breed. So, genetic-evaluation programs can help: 1. Identify and document genetic merit/value for major economically important traits,

2. Predict possible performance of the next generation, 3. Provide breeders with EPDs to be used as another tool in selecting breeding stock, 4. Provide paperwork and information to customers about what breeding stock to buy.

The EPD for a young animal will be mostly based on its parents’ performance records such as birth, weaning, and/or yearling weights. After the kid’s own performance

records have been processed, its EPD will be based on a combination of its parents’ records and its own performance. If that kid is selected as a breeding animal, and records on its kids are reported, the records on its progeny will also be used to calculate its EPD. Because all relationships among animals (parentoffspring, half-siblings, cousins) are taken into account, older animals or those with a lot of relatives in the program will have more accurate EPDs. Producers can compare goats using EPDs. For example, a buck with a weaning weight EPD of +1.0 pounds (meaning his offspring should be 1 pound heavier at weaning than average) is good, but a different buck with a weaning weight EPD of +2.0 pounds is better. EPDs give the most unbiased estimation of genetic value possible. The EPDs provided by a breed as-

sociation will vary. The most common EPDs usually reported include the following: • Birth weight EPD • Maternal birth weight EPD • 90-day weaning weight EPD • 150-day post-weaning weight EPD • Maternal milk EPD • Milk plus growth EPD • Number born, or percent kid crop • Carcass EPD • Reproduction EPD • Production life EPD The breed association calculating the EPDs can provide more information on genetic animal evaluation programs and how to use EPDs as a selection tool to meet production goals. Participating in an EPD program can provide producers with more information for their own herd, and can also give producers a marketing edge for selling breeding stock.

Requirements clarified for producers, consumers and enforcement personnel After several years of education, outreach and enforcement of the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation’s (DEC) Firewood Regulation, DEC Commissioner Joe Martens on July 3 announced that the 2009 regulations have been revised to help ease regulatory compliance and enforcement. The basics and purpose of the revised regulation remain the same and still prohibit untreated firewood from entering the state and restrict intra-state movement of untreated firewood to no more than 50 miles from its source.

“Without the existence of this regulation, firewood infested with invasive insects such as emerald ash borer and Asian longhorned beetle could be transported throughout the state spreading infestations from one place to another,” said Commissioner Martens. “To help reduce

damages to New York’s forests and community trees, New Yorkers and visitors are urged to comply with the state’s regulations, which restrict the major vector for the introduction of these pests.” The revised regulation focuses enforcement on untreated firewood that is in transit, and any firewood possessed on state lands. The revisions also articulate DEC’s authority to confiscate and destroy non-compliant firewood under the Environmental Conservation Law (ECL 9-1303). The updated definition of “Firewood,” now specifically excludes logs being moved to manufacturing facilities for processing (sawmills, pulp and paper mills, biomass power plants, etc.) from regulation as “firewood,” as this regulation is intended to regulate firewood specifically. Other regulations exist for log transport, which are enforced by New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets, including transport re-

strictions from the 20 counties in New York that are under state and federal Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) quarantines.

For information on the restrictions on transporting firewood, visit the DEC website at www.dec.ny.gov/animals/28722.html. New Yorkers are urged to take the following steps to keep invasive species from spreading to other areas of the state: • It is best to leave all firewood at home — do not bring it to campgrounds or parks.

• Get firewood at the campground or from a local vendor — make sure to receive a receipt or label that lists the firewood’s local source.

• If transporting firewood within New York State: — It must have a receipt or label that has the firewood’s source and it must remain within 50 miles of that source.

— For firewood not purchased (i.e., cut from your own property) you must have a Self-Issued Certificate of Origin (www.dec.ny.gov/docs/l ands_forests_pdf/selfisscert.pdf) and it must be

sourced within 50 miles of your destination.

— Only firewood that meets New York’s heat treatment standards (heated at 160 degrees F for 75 minutes) to kill pests and labeled as, “New York-Approved Treated Firewood/PestFree” may be transported into the state and further than 50 miles from the firewood’s source.

EAB is a small but destructive beetle that infests and kills North American ash tree species, including green, white, black, and blue ash. The first detection of EAB in New York was in Randolph, Cattaraugus County, in June 2009. With a dozen New York counties infested with the emerald ash borer, mainly in the Hudson Valley and the western portion of the state, it is more important than ever to increase early detection of this insect, and slow its spread. By finding infestations early, DEC can better manage infestations, which can reduce environmental and economic costs that can be incurred by local governments and landowners.

To learn how to spot infestations and report suspected damage, please utilize the Volunteer Survey Form which can be found at www.dec.ny.gov/animals/72136.html.

Damage from EAB is caused by the larvae, which feed in tunnels just below the ash tree’s bark. The tunnels disrupt water and nutrient transport, causing branches and eventually the entire tree to die.

Adult beetles leave distinctive D-shaped exit holes in the outer bark of the branches and the

trunk. Other signs of infestation include tree canopy dieback, yellowing and extensive sprouting from the roots and trunk. Infested trees may also exhibit woodpecker damage from larvae extraction.

For more information on invasive forest pests, visit the DEC website at www.dec.ny.gov/animals/7253.html or call toll free 866-640-0652.

Statement from New York Farm Bureau on the passage of the Farm Brewery legislation Beer mugs are clinking across New York State as New York Farm Bureau raises a glass to the Senate and Assembly for passing legislation creating a “Farm Brewery” license. This will provide opportunities for local breweries to prosper, and it will expand markets for New York farmers and their crops much like what happened in the New York wine industry when similar legislation passed in the 1970s.

The agriculture and beer industries in New York State are already major job creating engines, pumping more than $4.7 and $1.2 billion into our economy each year respectively. The Farm Brewery license legislation will allow for better synergy between these two important industries by allowing farmers to operate on and off premise accounts and supply hops and barley to other farm breweries.

In the 1800s, New York was the national leader in growing hops. Now, it can regain that title through diversifying to fill a growing need. Already, hop production has risen 400 percent in the past two years to about 60 acres statewide. That trend will only contin-

ue to climb as a provision in the legislation calls for 90 percent of the hops and 90 percent of the ingredients in the local beer to be New York grown by the year 2024. Farmers can also have on-site beer tastings and sell their products at off-site retail outlets allowing them to reach new customers. The flourishing agri-tourism that follows will have a positive spill-over effect on surrounding communities as farm breweries join regional trails.

“This piece of legislation was a priority for our members because it makes pure economic sense,” said Dean Norton, President of New York Farm Bureau. “New York farmers are always looking for new markets to sell their quality products. New York Farm Bureau is excited to see the growth in farm brewing continue to increase.”

“This is a good day for agriculture in the state, and we thank Senators Patty Ritchie and Dave Valesky and Assemblymen Bill Magee and Robin Schimminger along with Governor Andrew Cuomo for their leadership and vision for our family farms,” Norton added.
