Princesses work hard to promote farm treats

by Pat Malin The 2012-13 New York State Maple Queen and two princesses from Lewis County withstood a barrage of crowds in the Dairy Products Building, staffing their respective booths and highlighting products from their family farms.

Maple Queen Diedra Hill, 18, of Harpersfield (Delaware County) worked side-by-side with 2011 Lewis County Princess Emily Walters for three days at the New York State Maple Producers booth, passing out maple popcorn, maple donuts and the new maple soda as if they were on an assembly line. The Shaver-Hill Farm Hill Farm, a partnership between Hills father, uncle and grandfather, is a vast operation with 10,000 tree taps. It often requires help from the rest of the family, her mother and her brother as well.

During the rare minutes when she wasn’t selling anything, Hill discussed this year’s extremely-warm spring, followed by the drought. “We didn’t make as much syrup,” she said, “but the quality wasn’t affected.”

Walters hails from an eighth-generation farm in Glenfield that has 2,500 taps.

Around the corner from the maple syrup stand, Lewis County Dairy Princess Gabby Domagala, 16, of Port Leyden, manned the “Moo-tique” with

her sister, Aubree, 8, her mother, Nancy, and ambassador Kirsten Hancock of Carthage. They sold dairythemed clothing and other items and discussed dairy farming with interested consumers.

Occupying a prominent place at the front of Moo-tique was a children’s book called Abbie’s Story: Milk, From Me To You, by local authors and illustrators Jennifer Karelus, Loretta Lepkowski and Holly Waters. Its 23 pages are filled with colorful photos of 10 Lewis County farms, including Domagala’s.

“It’s about how the process works, from the cow to the kitchen table,” said Domagala, who helped write captions for photos of her farm. “It’s also about nutrition, the environment and animal stewardship.”

Domagala, a student at South Lewis Central School, is the eldest of six children of Rob and Nancy Domagala and helps with the milking of 90 head.

They sell to Kraft, which happens to have a cheese plant just up the road in Lowville.

“Our farm is over 100-years old,” she said. “It used to be a grain barn and my grandfather turned it into a dairy farm.” Her mother grew up on this farm, while her father was raised in nearby Glenfield.

“We used to milk three times a day for 10 years,” Nancy said. “Now my

by Judy Van Put Linda and Alan Rajlevsky hosted the 9th FARMSTOCK event at Rivendel Farm, their sheep and goat farm, located high atop Swiss Hill overlooking Jeffersonville, NY. The Rajlevskys produce pastureraised, free-range sheep and goats, which are raised to produce a healthful meat product using the methods of permaculture, without the use of pesticides, antibiotics, hormones or man-made chemicals. The scenic setting, perfect sunny summer weather and huge shade trees overhead provided for a very enjoyable afternoon. Visitors to the event were greeted by Alan and Linda, who provided an in-depth look at how Rivendel began and how the farm is run.

The couple purchased the property in 1994, and added other properties through the years; today the farm has a combined total of 53 acres. In 1996, they began raising sheep, and then added goats to the mix.

They relied on the help of neighboring farmers to round out Alan’s experiences with farming he learned as a child during the summers while he attended Camp Shomria, in Liberty, NY. Today the Rajlevskys still have ties to the camp, sending their milking goats over for the camp children to learn how to milk goats.

There are approximately 60 sheep and 40 goats on the farm today. The goats are dual-purpose, primarily Nubians, used both for milk and meat; the sheep are a cross of Dorset and Clun Forest. The Clun

Linda Rose had an interesting station showing some of the beautiful hand-knit sweaters, scarves and blankets made from Rivendel wool. A friend from the Woodland Weavers’ & Spinners’ Guild was also on hand with her spinning wheel, and demonstrated how she spins the woolen fleece into yarn.

Forest, a little-known breed in the United States, hails from England and is known for its hardiness, easy lambing, and good mothering qualities. The sheep are more comfortable outside in the snow during winter, and the mothers produce plenty of milk.

The Dorsets, another English breed, were chosen for their ability to breed out of season, or two times a year. Interestingly, the Club Forests are a blackfaced sheep, and the Dorsets a white-faced breed; their offspring are mixed black and white faced.

There are two rams on the property, and from 30 to 60 ewes at any given time. The farm sells their lambs quickly, as they sell meat to an established client base; and they do take requests to buy lambs off the farm for breeding purposes and setting up new sheep farms in the area as well.

The sheep are dual-purpose; as in addition to meat and live lamb sales, the farm sells wool, mostly to local spinning guilds. The wool is medium-coarse that is good for spinning yarn used for sweaters, socks, and other items. It blends nicely with finer wool, such as merino, and is also excellent for felting.

Linda described how the farm is run throughout the year; depending on the market for the kids and lambs, the does and ewes must be bred figuring on a 148-day gestation. If their best marketing time is in May, the ewes must be bred in the fall. Over the winter, from January through March, they are kept busy with feeding, hoof trimming, and shearing, in preparation for lambing time. All the fleeces are sent to an Amish Mill where they are washed, carded and spun into wool. An interesting aside is that some of the wool is made into blankets that are then sent off to the U.S. troops overseas.

April is dedicated to lambing and kidding, and Linda said the demand for her lamb is so great that they are all usually completely sold in advance. The months of May and June are busy with “creep grazing” — a process where the little lambs are put out in the grassy pastures first, before their mothers and the older sheep. The areas where the ‘babies’ graze are cordoned off to let them graze first, and protect them from any parasites that could come from having the mothers and adults in the same pasture. The sheep are intensely grazed for 30 days on each section of cordoned-off pasture, as any worms that might be present in the manure will then die without a live host after 30 days. Each time the lambs are moved to a new section, the mothers and adult sheep follow; however, for the first six weeks, the lambs have to be brought back to their mothers to nurse.

Weaning occurs at about six weeks, when the lambs have reached 36 pounds. The rest of the summer is occupied with grazing, and October and November is time for “flushing”.

Linda explained that “flushing” is very important in the cycle of lambing. The ewes receive extra

rations, a special grain for increased nutrition prior to breeding. A ‘teaser’ ram is brought in near the ewes when they are suspected of coming into heat.

They are not bred at this time, however, but held for another cycle (28 days) before breeding. Linda learned this from other sheep farmers in the area, and she found that by keeping the ewes another month before breeding, it ensured twin births by almost 100 percent. She said her farm has an average 200 percent birth rate since this practice was adopted.

After Linda’s talk and farm tour, the children were especially interested in friend and neighbor Lisa Rose’s station. Lisa, President of the Woodland Weavers’ & Spinners’ Guild, of Beach Lake, PA, gave a talk on fleece, wool and felting. She brought a friend who was busy spinning wool batting into yarn on her spinning wheel, and had on hand for all to see a number of beautifully crafted articles made from felt and yarn. The children got to try their hand at making their own felt squares to take home, along with the newfound knowledge of where yarn comes from, and how woolen items are made.

In addition to sheep and goats, Rivendel Farm produces pasture-raised chickens and fresh eggs all year-round. For more information on Rivendel Farm, please visit http://healthylamb.com/ or call Alan and Linda at 845-482-3592.

The Musings of a Simple Country Man to the Brookfield Town Board Councilman Clint Abrams has graciously consented to read into the public record our opinions (not necessarily Mr. Abrams’) on the proposed drilling moratorium presently under discussion in Brookfield, NY. My comments will be brief and hopefully of some interest. (My family has owned land and lived here for over 80 years.)

We — my wife, Lois and family — enthusiastically support immediate, preemptive moratorium as a necessary, if temporary, protection against natural gas drilling.

After extensive research we are convinced that if such drilling is permitted

in the future there is a very good chance it could cause irreparable and permanent damage to the ecology and well being of the people of this community.

No promise of short term financial gain could ever remotely compensate for the irreplaceable losses that we fear could very well occur if such drilling is allowed in this township.

Our reasons for opposing drilling are numerous and well documented.

Consider this possible scenario. A million dollar well is drilled on the Nowak meadow at the edge of town across the well-traveled Skaneateles Turnpike from Jon Witter’s home.

According to recent Washington Post article it will take 4.5 million gallons of

water/chemicals to stimulate well flow.

That will be 1,300 huge tank trucks coming and going 24/7. Can you imagine the impact on Brookfield’s fragile and dated infrastructure, let alone the quiet and peacefulness of this community. Multiply this dreadful picture with many wells.

This disposal of the toxic waste water is fraught with many dangers. The chemicals are deadly and dangerous. A constant threat to all living things in this community. A single “roll over” could be disastrous and “accidents” happen all the time!

For example, in 2010 “Clean Water Action” cited 1,200 violations in Pennsylvania of environmental regulations by gas drillers, many of them from leaks or poor construction of waste pits for toxic fluids that flow back to the surface after fracking.

The Chesapeake Energy Corp. was fined $565,000 by Pennsylvania for sediment that washed off both an access road and drilling pad into a river, damaging filters at a water treatment plant.

Just as we enthusiastically support a Brookfield moratorium we enthusiastically oppose any future drilling with its questionable benefits and countless serious risks to the people and environment.

And, yes, crime will rapidly spike too.

We urge the Town Council to stand tall for the people. A moratorium will be Brookfield’s first defense against solely motivated gas companies and a selfserving State Government with its “public be damned” philosophy.

We must “guard” our own community as long as we can. Nobody else will!

Sincerely, Hobie Morris and Lois Morris Brookfield, NY

New York Farm Bureau calls for a “Stop the Flood of Regulation” from the Federal Government

by Katie Navarra New York Farm Bureau President Dean Norton, hosted a press conference call on Tuesday, Aug. 28 to discuss a possible sweeping change to the Clean Water Act (CWA) that could have long-lasting and costly impacts on family farms, home owners, and municipalities.

The federal government is trying to expand its authority in the Clean Water Act (CWA) to include even dry areas on private land, skirting the federal rulemaking process. The 1972 CWA limits federal jurisdiction to “navigable” waters of the U.S. Congress has rejected removing the word “navigable”. Recent Supreme Court decisions have also confirmed the EPA’s CWA jurisdiction over “navigable” waters is limited. The increased authority would be granted through a “policy” guidance, a process that would bypass the regulatory process, which includes a public comment period.

Removing the word “navigable” from

the Clean Water Act means that the EPA could regulate any and all waters.

That includes every roadside ditch, standing puddle and farm pond no matter the size and no matter its proximity to federal waters. This could include dry land that experiences occasional or seasonal pooling following a rainfall or snow melt. “Any impression (in the ground) that holds water for four hours or more would full under this. Mud puddles would fall under this,” Norton explained. To emphasize the extent this would increase the EPA’s control Norton said, “one county in Kentucky has 97 miles of navigable streams (that currently fall under EPA control), with these guidance changes that becomes almost 400 miles.”

This change would greatly increase the Clean Water Act’s reach into agricultural practices. The New York Farm Bureau published an “E-Lobby Today” bulletin that explains the implications for farmers. “For example, more live-

stock operations would need National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) coverage, currently issued by DEC in New York. Nutrient applications would be restricted because more waters would have Total Maximum Daily Loads and more waters would be assigned designated uses and have to meet state or federal water quality standards. Pesticide applications would be more likely to require an NPDES permit,” the document states.

“Farm land could be taken out of production because farmers can’t afford the $35,000 in proposed permits,” Norton said, “(some would find it) easier to let land go fallow than pay.”

Removing the word “navigable” from the Clean Water Act also has staggering implications for schools, municipalities at all levels and of course tax payers. “Highway ditch cleaning could certainly become a thing of the past,” Doug Berwanger, Chairman of the Wyoming County Board of Supervisors said. In small towns, like Arcade, NY, where Berwanger resides, town budgets are already stretched to the limits.

If the changes to the CWA go through, towns would be required to also pay the proposed $35,000 in permits to complete routine ditch cleaning work.

“As a taxpayer who is already paying 40 percent of their paycheck to taxes, who is going to pay for that?” he asked.

“Changing the Clean Water Act is not an independent agency decision,” Cathy Mural, Senior Associate Director of Public Policy for New York State Farm Bureau said, “(the EPA) is going outside the regulatory hearing process and Congressional process.”

The CWA has been very successful in its 40 year history. The current approach allows states to protect truly ecologically important and environmentally sensitive areas within their borders while, at the same time, preserving the authorities of states and local communities over their own land and water use planning. New York Farm Bureau is looking to preserve this and “Stop the Flood of Regulation.”

Stewart Farm from A2 27 cows that were milked in a stanchion barn. Throughout the years, the herd numbers steadily increased to its current size of 130 Holsteins, of which 3/4 are registered and a number of which are Red and White Holsteins.

The farm also owns 100 heifers and dry cows.

Since 1959, the milk produced has been sold to Dairylea, a co-op which then markets the milk for Stewart Farm, LLC. A total of 385 acres of crops is grown to feed the cows. Each year 165 acres of corn is planted: 75 acres is chopped and the rest is combined as high moisture ear corn. One-hundred-forty-five acres of alfalfa and grass mix hay is grown, mostly for silage, but some is baled for calves and dry cows. Acreage is rented to provide all feed except protein concentrate used in TMR. Passion for farming spans generations A passion for dairy farming spans four generations of the Stewart Family.

Keith, Cliff and Janet’s son, operates the farm as the sole proprietor under the LLC. One of six children, Keith was “always the farmer,” Janet noted.

Even though Keith’s five siblings are no longer an active part of the farm, they were all involved with the field work and daily chores growing up. “Since I was a little kid, this is something I absolutely loved to do,” Keith said.

Keith and wife, Sheri, sole proprietors of the LLC, raised their four children on the farm. Their children were actively involved with the day-to-day chores during their childhood and developed a lifelong interest in agriculture. Three of the four, actively work in the industry, one daughter is an agriculture teacher, another daughter works for Dairy One in New Jersey and son, Bryan, works

on the farm full-time.

“They were all very involved in the farm and it helped give them spending money and allowed them to work their way through college,” Keith noted, “I think they all would say it was a good learning experience, gave them a good work ethic and knowledge of how to care for animals.”

Bryan, like his father Keith, has decided to remain an active part of the farm and is eager to involve his own children in the farm. Bryan regularly brings infant twins Riley and Mark, and two-year old Taylor, for visits with the calves.

Proud of the past, looking to the future Committing 300 acres of land that encompasses Stewart Farm, LLC in Easton, NY, to a conservation easement preserves the land for future generations and will ensure that the property will always be used for agricultural purposes.

Conservation efforts began in 1999, when the Stewarts first protected 57 acres of land. In 2011, the remaining 234 acres were protected. “The easement, facilitated by the Agricultural Stewardship Association, allowed us to build a much-needed farm shop and to retire the real estate loan,” they said.

In addition to conservation accomplishments, the Stewart family is proud of its continued commitment to family. “One of our small accomplishments that we are very proud of is that we are family friendly,” Keith explained, “my son (Bryan), has three small children, and the hired man has one child. Both have two days off per week to spend with their families. I didn’t do that when my kids were small and I am proud that we are able to do that now.”

The game was held at Veterans Memorial Field in Little Falls, NY, where Dairy Ambassadors Paige Johnson, Kelsey Collins, Stephanie Treadwell and Victoria Treadwell all joined Douglas, taking the opportunity to promote dairy to the teams and fans at the Mohawk Valley DiamondDawgs Baseball game.

The girls and the Promotion Chair, Tammy Graves set a booth up where lots of information, handouts, and free give-a-ways were available for the baseball fans. Milk, cookies and Cabot Cheese were added bonuses.

“I believe that having dairy night at the DiamondDawgs baseball game is a great way to tell the public abut refueling with chocolate milk after a sports workout,” remarked County Dairy Princess Hannah Douglas. Douglas threw out the first pitch at the game and reminded folks, “It is also important to be active for 60 minutes a day!”

Plan now for 2013 soybean crop

by Sally Colby Soybean harvest isn’t far away, and that means it’s time to look at records from the 2012 crop year and plan for 2013.

At a soybean field day held at the Landisville Research Station in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, several Penn State agronomists discussed research and challenges in soybean production.

“One thing we’re seeing is that there’s good yield potential in early soybeans,” said Dr. Greg Roth, Penn State professor of agronomy. “3-1 beans often top the soybean yield contest.” Roth says early beans are especially important in today’s economic environment. “The market is telling us, ‘grow as much as you can’. Farmers are taking early beans off, putting barley in, then next spring they double crop with barley again or come back with a short-season corn. That intensification of our cropping system and double cropping turns in some nice numbers.”

Roth added there are opportunities for additional income through double cropping if beans will yield, and apparently, seed companies are making sure that happens. There is also potential for export food grade and organic markets.

Part of the research, which is funded by the Pennsylvania Soybean Board, involves treatments. Roth explained the factor that creates the biggest spread in treatments is the variety; often as much as a 20-bushel spread. “That tells me that before I worry about applying foliar fertilizer,” he said, “my priority should be to make sure I have the right, top-

yielding variety for my farm.” Roth advises bean growers to work with seed companies to select the best variety for that grower’s situation, and to order early to ensure there is ample way to get the seed they want. “That’s the critical first step in high-yield soybean production.”

Dr. Doug Beegle, Penn State professor of agronomy, reviewed fertility issues with soybeans. “For any crop, but especially soybeans, we need to have the correct pH,” he said. “It affects the availability of nutrients, root growth, pesticide activity and nitrogen fixing.” Beegle added that pH also affects the phosphorus and potassium availability, particularly phosphorus, which is bound in the soil by aluminum when the pH is lower than 6.

“With a pH around or below 5,” said Beegle, “aluminum becomes more soluble, and aluminum is toxic to roots. You can do all kinds of things with fertility, but if you don’t have roots to take up nutrients and water, you’re going to have problems.” Beegle advises aiming for 6.5 pH, especially for high-yield beans. He noted that about 25 percent of soil samples submitted for testing were below that 6.5 target range, so growers have some work to do.

Beegle says because soybeans are legumes, growers don’t usually worry about N levels. “If we inoculate and get good nodules, they’ll fix nitrogen,” he said. “We don’t have to add N to soybeans.” Beegle noted that studies showed no benefit in adding N to wellinoculated soybeans, and even a negative effect, because N tends to inhibit

fixation in the nodules. “We want the plant to have good nodulation and fix a lot of nitrogen. In cases of N deficiency, the causes are usually poor inoculation, no inoculation, low pH and compaction.

If you do have N deficient soybeans, put N on, but if you have good nodulation, there’s no need for it and it will have a negative impact.”

Another consideration in regard to nitrogen, especially with high yielding varieties, is whether or not the rhizobia-fixing nitrogen can keep up with the demand by the crop - especially during peak periods. “There’s a lot of research around the country on that,” said Beegle. “But there’s not a lot of evidence that if you have well-nodulated beans, you won’t get response from additional N.” Beegle says in high yield growing environments, there are a lot of factors working together. “It isn’t just that the plant is growing a higher yield,” he said.

“There’s better soil quality, the pH is right, and there’s good soil organic matter. A lot of factors make high potential for greater yield, and those same factors often influence N fixation and N release by the soil. Soybeans only get about 60 percent of N from the soil; the rest is from the rhizobia.”

There’s a common misconception that soybeans don’t respond to phosphorus (P) and potassium (K). “Where the misconception comes from is that if you apply P and K to a deficient soybean field,” said Beegle, “you won’t see the same dramatic results that would come from P and K application to corn. What you really need is optimum fertility

going into beans - the crop will benefit more from good soil fertility than from fresh fertility, so make sure that’s corrected before planting.” Beegle says that in reviewing last year’s soil tests, 20 percent of tests were less than optimum for phosphorus and 35 percent were less than optimum for potassium. He also said that agronomists are seeing the effects of lower K levels when the price of K is high and farmers skimp on K application. The classic sign of potassium deficiency is yellowing and dying of lower leaves. The higher up the yellowing, the worse the deficiency.

Beegle says another consideration for soybeans is starter fertilizer. “We don’t see the response from soybeans like we do with corn,” he said. “In fact, with beans, there’s a chance of injury.

Soybean seeds are sensitive to salt injury. It isn’t worth it, and we don’t recommend it.” However, Beegle added that research on soybean starter has typically been done with traditional plantings (planting at the end of May and into June), while many farmers are planting soybeans earlier, which means that beans might respond better at that earlier date.

Another hot topic, especially with higher yield beans, is foliar feeding.

Beegle says there isn’t a lot of consistent benefit. “However, if you know you have a micronutrient deficiency, adding micronutrients through foliar feeding might be an option,” he said. “If you have a problem, treat the problem. But if you go out and spray your beans with a foliar fertilizer mix expecting to get a big benefit is a long shot.”

Crop Comments

by Paris Reidhead Field Crops Consultant Sweetening the pot This morning, bright and early, Uri telephoned me with a feeding management question. He is a Central New York organic dairy farmer who raises no corn silage and purchases all of his grains, which have been largely shellcorn based; thus he makes a lot of balage. But with the high cost, and limited availability, of organic shell corn, his grain dealer has been working more small grains into the grist which Uri feeds his cows. He is afraid that this change will reduce net energy intake for his cows, resulting in reduced milk production. He wanted to know if molasses can be economically introduced into his dairy ration, so as to keep his cows’ dietary energy on an even keel.

A major benefit of molasses is that it can improve the palatability of feeds that don’t really taste that great. Molasses won’t make an imperfect feed into a good one, but it can make it end up in the cow’s digestive system more consistently. With organic corn priced at about 25 cents per pound, and conventional corn priced at about 15 cents per pound, these figures compare to molasses prices: 45 cents per pound for organic, and 15 cents for conven-

(Contact: renrock46@hotmail.com)

tional (both approximate). I tell folks that organic molasses does not provide a cheap megacalorie; thus the benefit of improved forage intake is pretty important. For conventional dairymen, the substitution, dollars — and cents — wise is more even. The other variable entering this equation is the farmgate price of milk: organic runs about 28 cents per pound, while conventional milk brings about a dime less. Most organic dairymen, with whom I have contact, say that if they weren’t already organic, the cost-price squeeze they’re in now would have scared them away from becoming organic.

Although I’m more used to balancing the energy part of a dairy cow’s diet with megacalories, more recent nutritional research has examined the usefulness of non-fibrous carbohydrates as an equally valuable parameter (if you want to use scientist jargon).

Clearly milk production per cow is the major factor determining dairy farm sustainability and profitability. According to many dairy scientists, the inclusion of non-fibrous carbohydrates (NFC) in the range of 35 to 42 percent of dietary dry matter is seen as a popular way to increase energy density and thus milk production. Most re-

cently, this recommendation is based on research conducted and tallied by Jerry H. Cherney, PhD., Department of Crop and Soil Sciences, and Debbie J.R. Cherney, PhD., Department of Animal Science at Cornell University.

One question that readers undoubtedly want to know (but were afraid to ask) is how is NFC calculated? Well, according to R. D. Shaver, Professor and Extension Dairy Nutritionist, University of Wisconsin-Madison, here’s how we calculate non-fibrous carbohydrate: for a given feed, you start by adding the percent of neutral detergent fiber (NDF) intake protein to 100 percent. Then you combine that feed’s NDF percent, plus its calcium percent, plus its fat percent, plus its ash percent. Take the sum of those four variables and subtract that value from the shorter (earlier) sum, and there you have NFC. [I’m sure this abbreviation is starting to make you think about football (NFL) more than feeding cows.]

Here are some typical NFC values for feed that dairymen get to work with: shell corn at 75 percent, ear corn at 64 percent, alfalfa at 25 percent, grasses at 15 percent, and corn silage at 35 percent. Molasses value falls between the two corn figures, and most small grains are a little closer to the ear corn value. One key element for many organic dairymen is their abandonment of corn silage as a cropping enterprise.

I think what happened in many cases is they gave up growing corn because they would have to buy a new row chopper, and then decided to walk

away from that cash-flow challenge.

(The absence of corn... with all its usual chemical inputs... may have enabled them to qualify for organic certification quite a bit sooner.)

I had Uri sample his total mixed ration, which included chopped balage and his purchased grains, as well as minerals and salt. His NFC value for his TMR was just over 25 percent. I think that value for a mixed feed may be a little skewed, but I’m sure that the actual figure would still be below the minimum of 35 percent recommended by Cherneys. Addition of molasses would help drag the average value toward that goal, but we’ll be relying on increased total consumption of TMR dry matter, so as to meet the cows’ energy needs, whatever parameter we decide on.

In the forage NFC arena today, I stumbled into some good news: the research station in Valatie, NY, has been demonstrating a new variety of brownmid-rib Sudan grass. I was very impressed. The folks doing the research at Valatie (and other experiment stations) firmly believe that the digestible energy of this new crop, as related to dairy nutrition, places it on a par with good quality corn silage. The brownmid-rib trait in Sudan grass, sorghum, their hybrids, and even corn silage, has improved their NDF digestibility.

This fact might throw a curve into some of these complex formulae. But if it makes cows more productive... and their owners happier... what’s a little more paperwork and computerization?

On Tuesday, Aug. 28, Beef Day at the New York State Fair in Syracuse, the NYBPA sponsored this special annual event and show.

The Supreme Beef Pro-

gram starts at the County Fairs and Junior Beef Shows held across New York State during the summer show season.

by Ben LaCross Parched and burnt cornfields, hayfields as yellow as the sun and chalky, dry soil are images we’ve seen from the record-setting drought of 2012. The farm bill is supposed to be the safety net for agriculture, especially in catastrophic disaster years such as this. But alas, chances of passing a new farm bill, which is set to expire on Sept. 30, is wilting as fast as a Midwestern cornstalk.

Now, only a handful of days remains on the legislative calendar before the election.

The farm bill was growing strong and steady through June.

The Senate, under the leadership of Agriculture Committee Chairwoman Debbie Stabenow (D-MI) and Ranking Member Pat Roberts (R-KS), passed a strong, bipartisan bill. This bill showed real promise of reform and savings. The bill cut out the direct payment program, an antiquated system of risk management for farmers. Crop insurance was strengthened and expanded, ensuring that farmers would have to have “skin in the game” for their risk management needs.

The nutrition title, which makes up well over 80 percent of all farm bill spending, was also reformed. The days of lottery winners who still receive food stamps would be gone. Conservation would be strengthened, allowing farmers to partner with the federal government to grow their environ-

mental stewardship.

Agriculture understands the importance of being fiscally responsible.

Farmers are ready to do their part to reduce the national deficit. In fact, this bill would have saved taxpayers more than $23 billion, compared to previous farm bills.

The bipartisan House Agriculture Committeepassed bill, crafted by Chairman Frank Lucas (R-OK) and Ranking Member Colin Peterson (D-MN), would have saved taxpayers even more. But, like the fields that never benefited from timely rains to save their crops, House leadership dealt what could amount to a drought-like blow by not bringing up the farm bill for a timely vote.

Due to that lack of political urgency, farmers are now facing another potential disaster. This time, though, we can’t blame Mother Nature. This catastrophe is man-made.

Northern Michigan experienced record warmth for more than seven days in the middle of March.

While 85 degree temps were welcomed after a long winter, we fruit farmers knew we were in for trouble. The hot weather awoke our trees from dormancy, pushing flower buds to mature four to six weeks early. As the weather patterns returned to normal, so did the cold, freezing temperatures, and they froze out the majority of the fruit grown in Michigan, my cherries included.

Tart cherries, the fruit you enjoy in pie, and the crop my family relies on for the majority of our

harvest, is not eligible for crop insurance. Our industry has been challenging USDA’s Risk Management Agency to expand crop insurance to our fruit, but the wheels of bureaucracy seem to have been stuck in the mud.

The Senate-passed farm bill contained provisions to expand crop insurance to help farmers like me manage risk when weather catastrophes are out of our control. Much of the proposed legislation would help farmers who’ve been affected by this year’s drought, as well.

Yet the House still has

not scheduled a vote on this bill.

Farmers certainly aren’t the only people affected by the delayed passage of the farm bill.

Twenty-three million people — one in every 12 working American’s — work in agriculture.

Agriculture expands foreign trade, and is the only industry with a positive balance of trade.

Think, also, of the millions of schoolchildren and families in need that this bill helps to feed. Last year, the Agriculture Department reported that one in six Americans were “food insecure.” At one point or another last year, these

FOCUS ON AGRICULTURE American Farm Bureau Federation folks weren’t sure where their next meal would come from. If it weren’t for the farm bill’s nutrition programs, many more might struggle to eat.

The droughts and other natural disasters may have done damage beyond repair to this year’s harvests, but the House could still breathe life back into this bill. It’s

The Turf Mowers for Precise Cutting on Even or Uneven Terrain.

Bush Hog TD Series Tri-Deck Finishing Mowers are the best choice for sod growers, golf courses, land owners, municipalities, and recreational area maintenance.

Design features assure smooth, precise mowing on even or uneven areas. Wings flex from 30° up to 10° down during operation. Wing decks flex 10° side to side and front to rear, to shadow ground contours. And the high blade tip speeds produce finer mowing on all areas. A Category IV CV main driveline allows a shorter turning radius, and minimum horsepower requirements are 40 to 45, depending upon model.

The TD Series Tri-Deck Finishing Mowers from Bush Hog are available in 15 or 17-foot mowing widths.

Come in today and see why they’re your best choice in a product for clean, close cutting.

The all-new 504 PRO Baler from Vermeer is built to handle the demands of heavy, wet material for frequent silage baling. The 5 foot by 4 foot variable chamber baler has the heavy drive components necessary for effective silage baling,

and also offers the features and flexibility to produce high quality bales in a variety of materials. With the standard, color touchscreen E-Link Pro monitor, baling operations can be easily controlled from the cab.

“Features such as Hy-

droflexcontrol and the Xtracut17 chopper system have proven to be very effective in baling silage, and we’re excited to offer those features in this all-new 5 foot by 4 foot baler,” said Phil Chrisman, Vermeer Product Manger. “The

504 PRO Baler has many of the same components found in our 404 PRO Silage Baler, but in a variable chamber with a standard wide pick-up that gives producers more flexibility to bale wet or dry hay.

With Hydroflexcontrol, the floor of the 504 PRO Baler can flex up and down to minimize blockage in the pick-up. This feature also gives the operator the ability to hydraulically open the floor of the baler should a blockage occur so they can easily clear the plug without leaving the cab.

The Xtracut17 is a 17knife chopper system on the pick-up rotor, with the option of utilizing knives in quantities of 0, 8, 9 or 17. This feature contributes to better bale density, fermentation, silage quality and digestibility, and also provides a consistent, precut material for additions to rations fed using a mixer wagon.

In addition, the all-

new, color touchscreen E-Link Pro monitor comes standard with the 504 PRO Baler. “The E-Link Pro monitor gives customers some user -friendly capabilities and functions we haven’t offered before,” said Chrisman. “Operators will appreciate the ability to electronically control bale density from the cab, or the ramp ‘home’ sensor that alerts the operator when the bale is fully ejected for a faster tailgate cycle. They can also collect and store comprehensive field and operation

statistics, among the many other features this monitor has to offer.”

Other features of the 504 PRO Baler include the patented Powersplit Transmission with a split gearbox design for better use of horsepower when baling in heavy material, endless belts to eliminate the need for lace maintenance, and heavy-duty chains, bearings and other drive components add durability when handling heavy, dense silage bales.

Reflective vests keep children safe on the road UNIVERSITY PARK, PA — A farmsafety extension educator in Penn State’s College of Agricultural Sciences has found a way to keep Amish and Mennonite children safe as they travel on the road.

Kay Moyer, who is based at the Penn State Extension office in Lancaster County, gives presentations on farm and home safety to students in Amish and Mennonite schools in several southern Pennsylvania counties.

After parents and teachers asked her to provide their students with more information about road safety, she began to notice that some children were not staying in single file and following safety rules as they walked along the road.

Then Moyer learned that the roads to several schools did not include a berm on which children could walk. This meant there was not enough room to walk on the correct side of the road, and students had to walk on the right side of the road where they were not facing traffic.

Moyer realized the situation was dangerous, and motorists may need extra help to see the children.

“I wanted the children to be more visible because the children I work with, for the most part, wear dark colors: blacks and blues,” she said. “Most students are walking, biking or riding scooters in all kinds of weather and early in the mornings.

“We wanted to make children more

visible to decrease the potential for injuries or fatalities from being struck by a vehicle.”

To accomplish this goal, Moyer examined ways to help motorists better see the children as they traveled along the road. Some Amish and Mennonite families bought hunting vests, but none were small enough for the children. She found that child-sized safety vests were not available to buy, so she and an Amish friend created patterns that fit small children and started sewing vests themselves.

The garments are made from limegreen or yellow-green mesh, the same material used by the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation. Three vests can be made from 60 inches of material, and they can be small, medium or large, depending on the student’s age and height.

Reflective tape is sewn to the front and back of the vests, and Velcro is applied to the front. Elastic attached to the sides accommodates backpacks and coats.

Many members of the Anabaptist community, as well as residents of a local nursing home, now help construct the vests. The tasks are divided among the volunteers. For example, some cut Velcro into 4-inch strips, some cut or sew the reflective tape onto the vest and some put the edging and elastic on the vests.

“Many hands make it happen,”

Moyer said.

Changes to the hazard communication standard are coming

by James Carrabba, The New York Center for Agri-

cultural Medicine & Health — NYCAMH The Hazard Communication Standard, (HCS) 29 CFR 1910.1200 is a

law administered by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and is applicable to agricultural workplaces. The purpose of this law is to ensure chemical safety in the workplace. Under this law, the identities and hazards of workplace chemicals must be available and understandable to workers. Employers GHS Hazard Pictograms that will appear on chemical labels. Each pictogram has a white background framed by a red border. The pictogram used on the label is determined by the chemical hazard classification.

are required to inform workers of any chemical hazards in the workplace and to train workers on how to protect themselves from these hazards. In the past, this standard was sometimes referred to as “The Right to Know”, because under the law, workers have the right to know about the hazards of the chemicals that they work with.

The HCS is now in alignment with the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals (GHS).

These new changes will make it

much easier for workers to identify chemical hazards and understand the potential hazards of chemicals that they must work with. According to OSHA, these updates will provide a more uniform and easier to understand approach for classifying chemicals and communicating hazard information on labels and safety data sheets. The former Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) will now be called Safety Data Sheets (SDS) under the

National Farm Safety & Health Week set Sept. 16-22 “Agricultural Safety & Health… A Family Affair” — National Farm Safety & Health Week Sept. 16-22

by James Carrabba, The New York Center for Agricultural Medicine & Health — NYCAMH National Farm Safety and Health Week commemorates the hard work, diligence, and sacrifices of our nation’s farmers and ranchers.

The 2012 event marks the annual signing of this proclamation by a U.S. President, beginning with President Franklin Roosevelt in 1944. This is a time for farm families to think about how you can make safety a priority on your farm. National Safety Council statistics show that agriculture is still the most hazardous industry in the country in terms of work-related fatality rates. Agriculture

had the highest fatality rate at 26.9 deaths per 100,000 workers, which is significantly higher than the work-related fatality rate for all U.S. industries of 3.0 deaths per 100,000 workers in 2010 (NSC 2011). The agricultural fatality rate increased 2 percent from 2009 (NSC 2011).

There are many unique aspects about agriculture that have lead to these alarming statistics. Farm families and workers are exposed to a host of mechanical, chemical and environ-

Pasture walk amongst the trees

by Troy Bishopp GEORGETOWN, NY — Sometimes a gathering of

farmers hits all the right notes.

A beautiful evening in the pasture,

great conversations between new friends and generous scoops of homemade ice-cream with all the sundae fixins’. You might ask what prompted this bucolic scene. Believe it or not, folks came out to learn more about this new grazing concept called Silvo-pasture which integrates trees with forage and livestock production.

Silvopasturing is an agroforestry system used to produce both livestock

Farm Safety Quiz These farm safety tips are provided by the Progressive Agriculture Safety Day® program. For information on how you can keep your child safe and healthy on the farm, ranch and at home, go to www.progressiveag.org Question: The driver of a car, traveling at 50 mph, sees a tractor about 400 feet ahead on the road. The tractor is traveling at 20 mph. How long does the driver of the car have to respond, slow down and

avoid a rear end collision? a) More than 60 seconds b) 30 to 40 seconds c) Less than 10 seconds Answer: c) Less than 10 seconds. In those 10 seconds, the motorist must recognize a dangerous situation exists, determine the speed at which the tractor is moving, decide what action to take, take that action and actually slow the vehicle to avoid a rear-end collision. Trac-

tor owners can alert drivers that they are traveling at slow speeds by displaying a slowmoving vehicle (SMV) emblem on the back of tractors and all slowmoving farm equipment.

Question: When someone is overcome by manure gases, it is important to get that person out of the area as quickly as possible. True or False?

Answer: False. As animal wastes break down,

several gases are produced. These gases are often trapped in manure storage structures that do not have proper ventilation. Of these gases, hydrogen sulfide is the most dangerous and is responsible for the most manure-related deaths of both animals and people. In low concentrations, this gas smells like rotten eggs.

But at higher concentrations, it paralyzes the sense of smell.

Within seconds of exposure, hydrogen sulfide can cause unconsciousness and then death.

NEVER try to rescue someone who is unconscious in a manure storage structure unless you have proper equipment and knowledge of the situation. Instead, call 911 or your local emergency medical service.

Multiple deaths from manure gases are common because rescuers succumb to the same gases as the victim.

It is important that children stay away from manure storage areas.

Fencing/child-proofing the area is highly recommended.

Question: Lightening occurs only where it is raining. True or False?

Answer: False. Con-

trary to popular belief, lightening often strikes areas outside of heavy rain and can occur as far as 10 miles away from any rainfall. Many people also believe that “heat lightening” after a very hot summer day poses no threat. In reality, “heat lightening” is from a storm too far away for the thunder to be heard and it could be moving in your direction.

Most deaths due to lightening happen outdoors. Make sure all family members know what to do if caught outside during a thunderstorm. In an open field, find a low spot, away from trees, fences and poles. If you are in the woods, take shelter under shorter trees. If you have no shelter, make yourself the smallest target by squatting low to the ground on the balls of your feet. Minimize contact with the ground and place your hands on your knees with your head between them when your skin tingles or your hair stands on end. If you are in a tractor or other vehicle, stay put, with your hands in your lap. Vehicles can provide better protection than lying exposed in open fields.

Pasture Walk from A18 and forest products on the same land over an extended period of time.

It can be thought of as a hybrid between wellmanaged pastures and well-managed woodlands. The term implies skilled management, beneficial outcomes, deliberate attention to multiple objectives, and symbiosis between grazing animals and their wooded environment. A silvopasture system can be developed from one of two perspectives: enriching open pastures with trees, or modifying natural forests and plantations through thinning to develop forage plants in the understory. The successful integration of pastures and woods — that is, grazing with silviculture — requires an experienced eye and knowledge of both disciplines.

The idea of managing pastures with mixed conifers and hardwoods intrigued Glenn Trush, who with his family operates Woodwatch Farm, a 300 acre property and home to a growing Highland Cattle herd. With help from the Madison County Planning Department in making farm maps, he introduced everyone to the farm goals and practices in place so far and showed the group the history of the farm and how the open land is being reverted back to forest.

“I had heard of this practice and since it fits with our long term goals it was the right time to host a meeting and learn more before we progress in our grazing system plans and get opinions from other farmers on how we’re doing so far,” said Glenn.

To help farmers, novice and experienced, understand the considerations and nuances of this agroforestry practice the evening featured Schuyler County’s Agriculture and Natural Resources Educator from Cornell Cooperative Extension and fellow grass farmer, Brett Chedzoy who led the pasture walk around the cattle and trees. “Tonight you are part of an inaugural group of producers striving to go from concept to implementation. It’s a long term project that requires skilled manage-

ment because it’s relatively easy to repair decisions made on grazing lands whereas forestry decisions can take decades to fix,” said the agroforestry practitioner.

He discussed the opportunities, requirements and keys to making this system work.

Topics teased out from the group included animal stocking rate, cattle impact on tree roots, thinning options, using areas for out-wintering and summer grazing, which tree species are compatible for silvopasture and the economics of bringing the pasture

into the woods. As the complimentary cattle grazed in a nearby paddock, conversations surfaced about animal behavior, watering and fencing considerations and forage establishment using frost seeding, sowing annuals or rolling out hay bales throughout the

ongoing savannah.

The setting sun and howling Coyotes focused folks away from cattle, pasture and trees and on to networking intertwined with making icecream sundaes. “This evening gave us a lot to think about for our farm and was well worth the

trip,” said Frank and Cori Drobnica from Coal Hill Highlands in Taberg, NY. We appreciate the Trush family for opening up their farm so we can go home inspired to think differently about land management.”

They hope to make 2,000 more for the coming school year.

During Moyer’s road safety program, she demonstrates road safety rules by using a display board with movable people, cars and buggies. She also demonstrates the vests’ effectiveness by having one child with a vest and another child without a vest stand at the front of the classroom. She shines a flashlight toward the children and asks the class to determine which child is

better seen.

Moyer said that the Amish do not drive, and children think drivers can see them when car headlights shine on them. However, someone dressed in dark colors is seen by drivers from only about 55 feet away. Wearing a vest makes someone visible from 500 feet.

“A vest makes you much more visible so drivers will see you and have time to slow down or stop before hitting you,” Moyer said.

Reflective tape for scooters and bicycles belonging to Amish and Mennonite children also is being cut and will be handed out this year.

Eat well and play hard in Oneida’s Allen Park Madison County Dairy Princess Nicole Champion gives out samples of yogurt at the 10th annual “Eat Well Play Hard” event in Oneida’s Allen Park.

Young participants in “Eat Well And Play Hard” in Oneida’s Allen Park were served Chobani yogurt samples — one of their three daily recommended servings of dairy — by Madison County Dairy Princess Nicole Champion. This was the 10th annual “Eat Well Play Hard” event, which is run by the Madison County Living Well Coalition. There were many activities in which participants could play hard and then have a delicious, nutritious snack.

The Dairy Princess served up Chobani yogurt to about 500 participants in the park and in a radio interview by WMCR Oneida, encouraged listeners to consume “3-Every-Day” of milk, cheese, and yogurt.

Chobani donated the 500 samples of its yogurt which was available in many flavors.

According to its website, each container of Chobani yogurt contains 20 percent of your daily needs for calcium which is needed for strong bones and teeth.

The Madison County, NY, Dairy Princess Program is made possible through the support of the American Dairy Association and Dairy Council — the local planning and management organization funded by dairy farmer checkoff dollars.

This week’s Sudoku solution

new revisions. These changes will make it safer for workers by providing easily understandable information on appropriate handling and safe use of hazardous chemicals.

These new changes were announced on March 26, 2012. Changes to the HCS will be phased in over the next few years and will be fully implemented by June 1, 2016.

Major Changes to the Hazard Communication Standard: • Hazard Classification: Provides specific criteria for classification of health and physical hazards, as well as classification of mixtures.

• Labels: Chemical manufacturers and importers will be required to provide a label and SDS that includes a harmonized signal word, pictogram, and hazard statement for each hazard class and category. By June 1, 2015, GHS standardized pictograms will be required on chemical labels to warn of hazards that each chemical has. Precautionary statements must also be provided.

• Safety Data Sheets (SDS): (formerly known as MSDS) Will now have specific 16 section format.

• Information and Training: Important to note; employers are required to train workers by Dec. 1, 2013 on the new label elements and SDS format to facilitate recognition and understanding.

Other provisions of the HCS have not changed. To be in compliance with this standard, a business must have a written hazard communication program. The hazard communication program must address these six areas: 1. Name a person responsible for overseeing the program 2. Create an inventory of all chemicals at the worksite 3. Properly label all chemical containers 4. Obtain and keep on file a SDS for each chemical 5. Train workers on how to read product labels and SDS’s 6. Train workers on how to protect themselves from the chemicals and document training

The HCS states that SDS’s must be readily available to workers. Workers are free to consult the SDS anytime they have a question about a particular chemical. Before using a chemical, it is a good idea to check the SDS. The SDS will list the personal protective equipment needed and the appropriate first aid measures that should be taken in case of an emergency. Worker training is an important component of complying with the HCS. The employee training should include an explanation of the standard, how to read a label and SDS, where to find the SDS’s, types of chemicals used in the workplace, how to protect themselves from these chemicals and how to use the appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). Employers need to document the training. Pesticide labels are exempt from the HCS, but they will have the new SDS’s and need to be included in a farm’s HCS program. Pesticide labels are covered under the EPA Worker Protection Standard (WPS), 40 CFR 1970.

Safety Week from A17 mental hazards every day that increase the risk of work-place injury or death.

Farm Machinery: Large, heavy machinery is used on just about every type of farm. In fact about half of the fatalities that occur to farmers are tractor-related incidents, with tractor rollovers being the single most common type of tractor fatality. Other common types of tractor incidents include runovers and Power-Take-Off (PTO) entanglements. All other types of farm machinery usually account for another 25 percent of farm work fatalities.

Elderly Farmers: Another very unique aspect of agriculture is that many older farmers don’t retire. These older farmers generally continue to work for as long as they are physically able. In fact, the average age of U.S. farmers is close to 60 years of age now.

While their strong work ethic is commendable, older farmers also experience high injury rates. Older farmers may have to take medications, work with physical disabilities, have poorer eyesight, and slower reflexes. All of these factors contribute to older farmers having a higher risk for work-related injuries.

Children: There is no other industry where families live right in the middle of a busy, 24-7 workplace, but that has been the norm for agriculture.

Also, there is no other industry where children as young as 10 or even younger are performing work with large equipment, around large animals, or in dangerous environments.

There has been some improvement in

this area. During the period of 19982009, the rate of youth injuries has fallen 59 percent, from 16.6 to 6.8 per 1,000 farms (includes all children who live on, visit, or are hired to work on farms). Injury rates calculated for just youth who live on farms also showed a significant decline, from 18.8 to 9.9 per 1,000 farms, or 47.3 percent, according to a scientific survey conducted by the USDA National Agricultural Statistics Service for the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH).

Lack of ROPS Equipped Tractors: A majority of the work-related deaths that occur to farmers are from tractor rollovers. ROPS (Rollover Protective Structures) protect the tractor operator in the event of a tractor rollover. All tractors manufactured after 1985 come equipped with a ROPS and seatbelts. Unfortunately, current research has found that approximately 40 percent of the tractors in the U.S. are not equipped with ROPS. ROPS are 99 percent effective if the operator wears the seatbelt. Hundreds of lives could be saved each year if farmers had ROPS equipped tractors and wore the seatbelts when operating them. To date, the New York State ROPS Rebate program has placed ROPS on over 1,000 tractors in New York State. This program has also expanded to New Hampshire, Vermont, and Pennsylvania. For more information, call the ROPS Rebate program hotline at 1-877-ROPSR4U (1-877-767-7748).

Hazardous Environmental Factors:

Weather, terrain, and atmospheric conditions all present risks to farmers.

To maintain profitability, farmers must work long hours in all types of weather and terrain conditions. Floods, droughts, and other severe weather cause significant impacts to farms.

Many farmers may find it necessary to work at a full or part-time job off the farm which can further lead to fatigue.

Increased Risk for Motor Vehicle Crashes: Road travel with farm machinery presents a serious occupational hazard for agricultural workers.

Thousands of roadway incidents occur each year between agricultural machinery and other motor vehicles.

Agricultural equipment tends to be

large and moves slowly, usually less than 25 mph. A hazard exists when fast moving traffic quickly approaches agricultural machinery traveling on roadways. Proper lighting of machinery and use of SMV emblems help to reduce these hazards.

Health & Safety Regulations not Enforced on Small Farms: Federal safety and health regulations are not enforced on immediate family members, or on small farms (10 or less employees) because of special exemptions that are granted to agriculture.

Therefore, it is up to each small farm to make sure that they are providing

A Few Words

by Phoebe Hall

Geese flying again I’ve been awakened the last few mornings by geese flying over my bedroom roof. I couldn’t get my thoughts around it at first; it seemed too early

for geese to be flying.

Then I remembered how different this year has been. Geese are already heading south in abundance — maybe they are anticipating an early fall.

We had warnings of lightning strikes all day, but never thought it would happen here.

I was wondering what had happened to all our friendly, little ladybugs this year. From this spring on our house was void of any ladybugs, but as I remember this time last year, there were too many to count. Then after reading Paris Reidhead’s column in Country Folks on Aug. 27, I knew what had happened. It is strange how one little bug can disappear so fast. But thank goodness, we still have our monarch butterflies around... so far!

It’s hard to believe that after last August’s floods when some farmers could only see the tassels of their corn, we could have a drought like this year. What a difference a year makes.

Only our Creator knows.

The rains seemed to have pretty much missed us for the whole month of August. We’re lucky to have green weeds or we would have nothing to relieve the dry brown everywhere.

The flowers have gone the way of our crops.

Only the towering sunflowers and overgrown hollyhocks are still barely showing their colors.

We have another turkey vulture running around with an injured wing. It tries to take off when we approach, but we will have to find it a good home before winter if it doesn’t recover soon.

The last one didn’t fair so well, even though it was placed in good hands.

Lightning hit the 70 year old maple tree in the backyard. Lucky for us, we were in the house with the grandkids; watching TV, when ‘boom’ it hit lickysplit.

We quickly turned off the TV while my husband ventured out to see what it struck. The sun was shining; no rain was falling, but we could see that the tree had been uprooted on one side.

We don’t know if it harmed anything else, but it was a loud enough crack to shake us up.

Benchmark Milk Price Jumps $1.05 Issued Aug. 31, 2012 Farm milk prices moved higher for the third month in a row.

The Agriculture Department announced the August Federal order Class III benchmark price at $17.73 per hundredweight (cwt.) up $1.05 from July but still $3.94 below August 2011, and equates to about $1.52 per gallon. That put the 2012 Class III average at $16.23, down from $18.18 at this time a year ago, and compares to $13.80 in 2010 and $10.29 in 2009.

Looking ahead; the September contract was trading late Friday morning at $18.89; October, $19.75; November, $19.88; and December, $19.81.

The AMS-surveyed cheese price averaged $1.7682 per pound, up 8.3 cents from July. But-

ter averaged $1.6859, up 14.7 cents, nonfat dry milk averaged $1.2543, up 8 cents, and dry whey averaged 53.52 cents, up 3.3 cents from July.

The August Class IV price is $15.76, up $1.31 from July but 4.38 below a year ago. California’s comparable 4a and 4b prices are scheduled to be announced September 4 by the California Department of Food and Agriculture.

The cash cheese market ended August on a down note with the blocks closing Friday at $1.82 per pound, down 3 1/4-cents on the week but 3 cents above a year ago. Barrel closed at $1.7775, down 2 1/2cents on the week and 1 3/4-cents above a year ago. Thirteen carloads of block traded hands on the week and 24 of barrel. The AMS-surveyed, U.S. average block price hit $1.8121, up 5.8 cents on the week, while

the barrels averaged $1.8320, up a nickel.

Cheese production is mostly steady to marginally below year ago levels according to USDA’s Dairy Market News (DMN). Wholesale cheese sales have been good with mozzarella increasing as schools begin to come back in session.

Export sales continue to be aided by the Cooperatives Working Together program (CWT) which accepted 14 requests for export assistance this week to sell 4.58 million pounds of cheese to customers in Asia, the Middle East, North Africa and the South Pacific.

The product will be delivered through February and raised CWT’s 2012 cheese exports to 78.3 million pounds plus 56.4 million of butter and anhydrous milk fat (adjusted for cancellations), to 33 countries.

Stewart Peterson’s Matt Mattke pointed out in Tuesday’s DairyLine that the U.S. Cheddar price is about 20 cents higher than the international price so that may be stalling the U.S. market.

Milk and cheese futures, as of Tuesday, were priced in the $1.90’s, he said. “The cash market is having a tough time getting to $1.90.”

He added that August was a good month for Class III milk prices, up 80 cents to $1.00 from July but stalled recently with fourth quarter prices getting up to $20.25 to $20.50. October, November, and December milk of this year is currently trading at about 12 cent premiums over cash cheese, according to Mattke, so “It’s going to be hard to see where that next leg of upside is going to come unless the cash market starts to pick up momentum or we see it in the whey market, which has been extremely quiet recently.”

Meanwhile, as if we don’t have enough issues to be concerned about, farmers are on high alert for the naturally occurring toxin in corn due to the

draught. Trace amounts have been reportedly showing up and could push prices even higher of the reduced supply of untainted crop. The Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship will require aflatoxin screening and testing of milk received in Iowa, beginning August 31 and continuing indefinitely.

Cash butter closed the week at $1.84, up 4cents but still 16 1/2cents below a year ago when it fell almost 9 cents and began a decent that shaved 33 cents off the price before rebounding in early October. Six cars of butter traded hands this week and the AMS butter price averaged $1.7576, up 4.2 cents.

Churning activities across the country are mixed depending on cream availability and price, according to USDA. Students are returning to classrooms, thus school milk bottling

schedules are resuming.

Standardized cream volumes from increasing bottling schedules are becoming available for cream needs. Class II cream demand remains steady, although typically Class II needs will ease, especially for ice cream, once the Labor Day holiday has passed.

Churning is often not keeping pace with demand, thus inventoried stock is being used. Butter producers that are taking advantage of additional cream offerings and generating butter beyond current needs are clearing the extra production to inventory and “holding those stocks with confidence,” says USDA. Retail orders are often outpacing food service needs as many food service buyers are cutting back as the summer vacation season winds down. Food service buyers, especially in resort and vacation areas, indi-

cate that traffic flow through their operations is slowing, but will hopefully remain fairly stable at least through the Labor Day holiday weekend.

DMN warns that milk supplies across the U.S. are short of expected levels due to the recent hot weather and higher feed costs. California production has leveled off, but remains short of full processing needs. Midwest milk volumes have increased with cooler temperatures. Eastern supplies are still tight.

Cash Grade A nonfat dry milk closed Friday at $1.70, up 3 1/2-cents on the week, and Extra Grade held all week at $16250. AMS powder averaged $1.2955, up 3.8 cents, and dry whey inched 0.8 cent higher, to 54.76 cents per pound.

Getting back to exports briefly, Dairy Profit Weekly (DPW) reports that, compared to May’s outlook, USDA raised its quarterly forecast for fis-

cal year 2012 (FY ‘12) dairy exports by $300 million in August. At $5 billion, FY ‘12 dairy exports would easily surpass FY 2011’s record high of $4.5 billion.

USDA also issued its first forecast for FY ‘13 dairy exports, at $4.8 billion. High feed costs are expected to reduce producer margins, leading to lower milk output and reduced dairy product supplies. That will result in a reduction of export volumes, leading to the $200 million decline from FY ‘12, according to DPW. The FY ‘12 U.S. dairy import forecast was raised $100 million, to $3 billion, due to higher values and volumes. The forecast for FY ‘12 cheese imports was reduced to $1billion.

It its first forecast for FY ‘13 imports, USDA forecast slight increases for cheese and total dairy products, at $1.1 billion and $3.1 billion, respectively. Butter, casein and miscellaneous milk products will lead import demand.

Despite a forecast for a modest appreciation in 2012 and 2013, the dollar will be relatively weak. That, and low interest rates, provide continued inexpensive credit for financing trade.

Higher expected world growth, lower energy prices and more available credit make the outlook for U.S. agricultural trade promising in 2013.

Two weeks ago I detailed the latest data on fluid milk sales which continue to fall however the Daily Dairy Report’s Mary Ledman sees a silver lining in the dark cloud in her August 24 edition. She pointed out that June’s 0.3 percent decline in fluid sales from a year ago “pales compared to declines of more than 3 percent in December 2011 as well as February and March 2012.

On the down side however, U.S. milk production through June 2012 totaled 119.1 billion pounds, up 2.7 percent adjusted for leap day, according to Ledman. Fluid milk sales during the same period totaled 26.2 billion pounds, down 2.2 percent. Ledman said that means an additional 3.15 billion pounds of milk were available during the first half of 2012, compared with the comparable period in 2011, plus an additional 580.3 million pounds of milk were available to manufacturers as a result of the lower fluid milk sales.

In total, the additional 3.73 billion pounds of milk contributed to yearover-year production gains of 51.8 million pounds of butter, 185 million pounds of nonfat dry milk and skim milk powder, 115 million pounds of cheese, and 82.6 million pounds of yogurt.

She points out a few more encouraging details in her column and

Trucks Tolling I-95: Wrong for Virginia and for the Country ARLINGTON, VA — The American Trucking Associations on Aug. 28 joined with dozens of other organizations and municipalities in urging the U.S. Department of Transportation to reject an application by the Commonwealth of Virginia to toll one of America’s most critical freight corridors.

Virginia’s application to toll I-95 will be bad, not just for trucking companies in the state of Virginia, but for truckers and consumers all across the United States who will bear the expense of increased transportation costs.

“Tolls are taxes, plain and simple.

Trucks, as well as cars, need to slow down to pay a toll — thus creating a natural chokepoint for congestion, contributing to increased fuel use and emissions,” Graves said. “And as Governor McDonnell said ‘If you don’t want to pay a toll, don’t use 95.’ Well, the Main Streets and Maple Avenues of Virginia were not designed for large trucks and the significant increases in traffic that come with diverting traffic off the Interstate highway system.

Putting more vehicles on these secondary roads is a recipe for more accidents and increased maintenance costs for cities and counties across the state.”

Graves, the former of governor of Kansas, said while he sympathized with Virginia’s plight, tolls were not the answer.

“I understand, perhaps as well as anyone, the struggles states have in paying for infrastructure, but tolls are not the ‘conservative solution’ to the problem. At a time when many in this country are looking to limit the size of government creating an entire bureaucracy to collect a toll, a bureaucracy that then needs to be paid for from those same tolls, is just wrong,” he said.

“Thirty-five cents of every dollar collected at the tollbooth gets used to pay

overhead and administrative expenses, while a simple 1-cent increase in the state’s fuel tax would easily raise the $35 million to $50 million the state’s tolling scheme purports to generate.

“I firmly believe that the best way to fund our roads and bridges is through the fuel tax — which directs nearly 99 cents of every dollar collected back into the asphalt, steel and concrete — and not tolls,” Graves said. “Under VDOT’s plan, in the first six years the Commonwealth would spend $95 million just to be able to collect your tax dollars and that is just wrong.”

than at any time in history, with feed prices leading the way. The estimates put total costs at more than $27 per cwt., up $2 from June and $1.75 more than previous record highs in the summer of 2008.

“Hopefully, the change in season will bring better news,” Natzke said.

“Schools will be back in session, and that means more demand for fluid milk for student lunches and feeding programs, and cheese demand has also been picking up.”

He pointed to rising milk prices but admitted they’re still well below last year’s price levels but should continue to rise through the end of the year. The question, of course, is whether the higher milk prices can keep pace with rising feed costs.

“Longer term, there’s another positive sign,” Natzke said. “Dairy product manufacturers are investing in new and upgraded processing plants.

Industry analysts estimate U.S. dairy product manufacturers will invest $2.2 billion over the next couple of years, with more than 75 major capital projects expected to be underway before June 2014. Additional and

more efficient capacity should lead to more demand for milk, a welcome sign for dairy farmers in any season,” he concluded.

In dairy politics; National Milk’s Chris Galen reaffirmed the need to get a Farm Bill passed in his Thursday DairyLine report. He reminded listeners that the current bill expires September 30, leaving dairy programs such as the MILC, in limbo.

He talked about the coalition of about 40 farm organizations which I reported on last week that is lobbying Congress to pass a new Farm Bill before fall. He reported that they will hold a rally on Capitol Hill September 12 to make a “visible and vocal push for Congress to pass a new Farm Bill.” For complete details, log on to www.farmbillnow.com.

Mielke from A27 agrees in the Daily Dairy Discussion audio on the DDR website that the data underscores the importance of fluid milk advertising and promotion and the export market.

By the way, the August 30 DDR reports that dairy producers culled 61,000 cows in the week ending August 18, an increase of 6,800 head from the same week a year ago. The slaughter pace year to date is 5.1 percent ahead of 2011, according to the DDR, and since July, U.S. dairy producers have culled 11.7 percent more cows than they did in the same period a year ago Labor Day is the unofficial end of summer, and for U.S. dairy farmers, the change of seasons probably can’t come soon enough, according to Dairy Profit Weekly’s Dave Natzke in his Friday DairyLine report.

“Even Congress has to come in from recess in September,” he said, “And here in north central Wisconsin, we actually have some trees starting to turn color.” He reported that USDA’s monthly “Milk Cost of Production” report showed the nation’s dairy farmers likely paid more in July operating costs

ARLINGTON, VA – On Aug. 27, American Trucking Associations praised the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration for responding to several concerns the industry had raised about its Compliance, Safety, Accountability program.

“It is refreshing when a regulatory agency listens to the concerns of those most impacted by their actions, so we should take time to praise FMCSA for taking steps to address issues ATA has raised,” ATA President and CEO Bill Graves said. “In looking more closely at violation severity weights, for instance,

FMCSA is taking some steps to make sure CSA achieves its stated goal of targeting carriers with increased crash risk.”

FMCSA’s announced changes: including renaming the “Fatigued Driving” category of violations to “Hours-of-Service Compliance” to reflect that most violations are not for fatigued driving, but are paperworkrelated infractions and renaming the “Hazardous Materials” category “Hazardous Materials Compliance,” an acknowledgement that these violations are not always indicative of overall safety performance.

The agency also agreed to hold back the hazmat data from public view, conceding that a poor hazmat compliance score does not always indicate safety issues.

However, ATA urged the agency to continue to address serious shortcom-

ings in the program and make badly needed improvements.

“These changes, while appreciated, point to the issue ATA has been urging FMCSA to address for some time: CSA scores are not necessarily indicative of elevated crash

risk,” Graves said. “Several studies have told us this, and FMCSA’s changes indicate they believe it as well.

“ATA supports CSA’s original goal of reducing crashes by targeting unsafe carriers, but too often, the system high-

lights violations that bear little direct — or even indirect — relationship to crash risk,” he said. “FMCSA must continue to hold true to CSA’s original goal and make changes to the program as necessary to do so.”

Oneida County Pasture Walk Oneida County Pasture Walk — Friday, Sept. 21, 11 a.m.-2 p.m. at Groeslon Farm, Ray & Wanda Paddock, 10941 Fairchild Rd., Remsen, NY 13438 The Oneida County Grazing group will be meeting at Groeslon Farm, Ray & Wanda Paddock, for a pasture walk on Friday, Sept. 21, from 11 a.m.-2 p.m. The highlights of the pasture walk will include looking over a new seeding put in the spring of 2012 for the dairy, the completed watering system, laneway and fence.

Guest speakers include the following: • Karen Hoffman of NRCS, will be on hand

as well to discuss nutrition and answer any other questions dairyman may have.

• Jeff Miller, Agronomist, Cornell Cooperative Extension of Oneida County will be on hand to look over the new seeding and pasture, also he will be doing the whole plant moisture testing of corn. If you would like to know the moisture of your corn please bring three to five whole plants from each field that you would like tested, cut plants at the height they would be harvested at, and try to cut the plants that morning. If you have any questions about the moisture test-

ing please call Jeff Miller at 315-736-3394 for further details.

• Betsey Howland of Cornell University will be on hand to go over the results of the DPM (Dairy Profit Monitor) that some grazing farms have been using this summer and how it may help you.

• Groeslon Farm, the Paddock family have been rotationally grazing the dairy since 1993, they have enjoyed the many benefits of grazing.

Recently they have taken on a project to expand the amount of land available for rotational grazing. This project will allow them to graze more acres and longer in the fall than previously. If

you would like to see a watering system, or laneway work this pasture walk will offer you some ideas.

Lunch will be included as part of the pasture walk. If you would like to attend please contact Bill Paddock of Oneida County SWCD at 315736-3334 or by e-mail at william-paddock@oneidaswcd.org by Tuesday Sept. 18.

Eastern Equine Encephalitis detected in a Westchester County horse Eastern Equine Encephalitis (EEE) was detected in necropsy samples from an eight to 10 year old Warmblood gelding on Aug. 31. The horse has been

in Westchester County, New York, and Massachusetts for the last few weeks.

The horse’s vaccination history in regard to EEE is not known. On

Aug. 8, the Warmblood had acute onset of ataxia and increased digital pulses. The farm’s veterinarian examined the animal and initiated medical treatment and had to return within an hour, because the horse had dramatically deteriorated. The horse was severely ataxic, febrile, leaning and eventually went down. Since the vet and trainer noticed such a rapid, dramatic decline in the horse’s condition they elected to humanely

euthanize the same day.

There are other horses on the same premises but none are showing signs of illness and have since received a booster EWT vaccine. A necropsy was performed at the New York State Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory and the brain was submitted to NYSDOH’s Wadsworth Center on Aug, 27 for both Rabies and Arboviral testing.

Rabies and West Nile Virus tests are negative.

Ulster County 4-H Youth Program announces 2012 Master Showmanship recipient Elissa Mardiney, 16, of Rosendale, NY, was awarded the 2012 4-H Master Showmanship title for this year’s Ulster County Fair on Sunday, Aug. 5.

Mardiney qualified for the contest by excelling in Senior Showmanship in the areas of Poultry and Dog which enabled her to advance to the final competition which included showmanship for Dairy Cattle, Beef Cattle, Goats, Sheep, Poultry, Dogs, and Rabbits.

“Being Master Showmanship Champion is really exciting for me!” said Mardiney. “I remember when I was younger I would see the older 4-H’ers participating in Master Showmanship and I thought it was so cool. I always wanted to show sheep and cows, and be able to handle all types of animals. So for me, I’m equally excited about being able to show them as I am about winning.”

Mardiney has been a member of Ulster County 4H since the age of six, making her an active member for ten years and is involved in several 4-H projects throughout the year. She volunteers with the National Honor Society at Rondout Valley High School. Elissa participates in several after school activities including playing alto saxophone and flute

with the SUNY Ulster Community Band and playing for the Rondout Valley High School varsity soccer team. In November 2011, she participated in the National Avian Bowl, which took place in Kentucky.

Elissa is indecisive about what college she plans to attend in 2013. “I am interested in animals, music, travel and studying other cultures”, said Mardiney.

She would love the opportunity to learn another language and study in another country and plans on applying to several schools this winter.

Elissa is the daughter of Annie and Bruce Mardiney of Rosendale.

4-H Master Showmanship encourages mastery with a variety of animals and recognizes excellence in showmanship. Judges score each 4-H Member on their showmanship skills which includes handling and their knowledge of the species. The highest composite score earns the title of Master Showman.

For more information about Cornell Cooperative Extension of Ulster County’s community programs and events call 845-340-3990 or visit us online at www.cceulster.org follow us and Ulster County 4-H Youth Program on www.facebook.com.

Susquehanna County 4-H Horse members compete at Regional Production Show Four Susquehanna County 4-H Horse members competed with their production animals at the Regional 4H Production show held in Williamsport, PA. Three of these members: Meghan Polcha, Brandon Bergman and Austin Graham qualified for the 4-H State Horseshow with their animals. The 4-H State Horseshow will be held on Oct. 26-28 in Harrisburg, PA. Production horses range in ages from foals of the current year up to five-years-old. Horses are shown at halter according to breed and age and animals 2-5 years old are also eligible to show in Futurity classes, which are walk-trot-canter riding class.

Production Results: • Jessica Sudhop and Parton Alydars Flashy Zipper placed 2nd in the Yearling Paint Division • Meghan Polcha and Coromirro placed 1st in the Three year old geldings Warmblood Division • Brandon Bergman and Bayo placed 1st in the Three year old fillies Draft Type Horse Division. They also placed

2nd in the Western Pleasure Three year old Futurity class • Austin Graham and Obviously Kidding placed 1st in the Two year old geldings Stock Horse Type Division.

They also placed 2nd in the Western Pleasure Two year old Futurity class.

• Austin also placed 1st in the Stock Type Pony Yearling Fillies with her other animal Hot Scotch Hottie.

Congratulations to these 4-H members. In addition to their production animals, these members also show their other project performance horses at the 4-H Horse and Pony Roundup, where they got the chance to qualify for the District and State levels.

Bradford County 4-H Breeding Beef Show In the Bradford County 4-H/FFA Breeding Beef Show held on July 23 at Troy Fair, 5 youth exhibited eight beef heifers.

Grand Champion went to Macy Wilks of the Northeast Ag and Home Ec. 4-H Club with her Simmental senior Yearling.

Reserve Grand Champion was won

by Katie Stewart of the Northeast Ag and Home Ec. 4-H Club with her Angus Junior Yearling.

In the Angus Junior Calf Class first place went to Katie Stewart. In the summer yearling Cross Breeds class, first was received by Lauryn Watkins of Endless Mountains 4-H Club and sec-

ond place to Shelby Bruce of the North Towanda 4-H Club.

In the Junior Yearling Hereford Class first went to Cassie Bennett of Country Caregivers 4-H Club.

Katie Stewart was the grand champion showman and Cassie Bennett was the grand champion fitter.

mildew, bacterial blight, bacterial pustule, and frogeye leaf spot. These diseases rarely cause economic losses to soybeans in New York.

A few reports of soybeans leaves with yellow discoloration suggested potassium deficiency.

But closely inspecting the roots revealed an insect — a type of mealybug.

Last summer, mealybugs were collected in Yates county on soybean roots

and identified as clover root mealy bug. Potential importance and economic impacts of this insect are poorly understood.

This summer, mealybugs have been collected from soybean roots in Delaware and Livingston counties. If you find mealybugs on soybeans showing signs of the potassium deficiency — please collect samples!

We would be very interested in hearing from you

and learning more about this mysterious pest.

Parasitic Dodder, Cuscuta spp.

Keith Waldron found dodder, an orange spaghetti-like weed, (Cuscuta spp.) in Chemung, NY. This parasitic weed is occasionally found in alfalfa and other broadleaf species.

Dodder was on “touchme-not” growing along a roadside. Dodder gets most of its nutrients from the plants it grows on, being almost incapable of photosynthesis.

As the mass of dodder vines expand, it coils around and attacks to new hosts. If you find dodder on your farm, destroy as quickly as possi-

ble to curb the chance it will infest other fields.

Spider mites Spider mites have done considerable damage to field corn at the Cornell Research Farm in Valatie. And reports of spider mite damage on soybeans in areas of western New York are still coming in.

Minor Pests Lately I’ve seen some defoliation on soybeans.

Most is due to Japanese beetles, Mexican bean beetles, and grasshoppers. While these are minor pests, defoliation sends up red flags for growers. How much leaf defoliation is too much in soybeans? The good news: soybeans can withstand much defoliation without losing yield.

The threshold from V1 to just before bloom: 35 percent of leaf area eaten or missing. From bloom through pod-fill, the threshold is 20 percent.

Stable Flies While conducting a barn fly IPM meeting in Oneida County we discovered a large population of stable flies. Stable flies bite and take blood from the legs of cattle.

The economic threshold is an average of 10 flies per 4 legs on at least 15 animals. While the average was around 20 per cow, we found as many as 50 on one animal.

Lung adhesions rob profit Cattle may show no obvious sign of illness

by Miranda Reiman Sick cattle are expensive cattle. Treatment is costly in itself, but the side effects of illness keep robbing through lower performance and carcass quality.

An analysis of more than 62,000 calves in Iowa’s Tri-County Steer Carcass Futurity (TCSCF) found the presence of lung adhesions from 2002 to 2011 was negatively correlated with those measures.

“When you add it all up, lung adhesions are pretty costly to the industry,” says Darrell Busby, TCSCF manager.

The 2012 report includes TCSCF retained ownership records from cattle fed in 18 cooperating yards that used common nutrition, health and management strategies.

Individual packing plant records were matched with live and harvest data, then sorted into four data groups: cattle without lung adhesions and never treated in the feedyard, no adhesions but treated, adhesions but not treated, and cattle with lung adhesions that were treated.

Overall, 5 percent of the calves had lung adhesions, but only onethird (1,042 head) were treated in the feedyard.

“We ask that all cattle put into the futurity be preconditioned and have two rounds of modifiedlive vaccines,” Busby says. “I’m not sure our cattle are completely representative of the entire industry.”

Visual observations in the packing plant, where the problem slows the processing chain speed, may indicate a higher incidence nationwide.

“There are several monetary costs to this,” Busby says. “They gain less and they eat less.”

Cattle that were never visibly sick and had no adhesions were heavier at harvest (1,185 pounds compared to 1,138 pounds for those treated cattle with lung adhesions) and took fewer days

to get there (165 vs. 179).

The non-treated, healthy cattle reached 68.4 percent USDA Choice and above, compared to 53.8 percent for the cattle that had adhesions and received treatment. Even more dramatic was the drop in Certified Angus Beef ® (CAB®) brand acceptance from 17.8 percent to 7.6 percent.

“That’s a big, big reduction in percent Choice,” Busby says.

“You also cut Prime down to just a third of a percent. Sure, you im-

prove your yield grades, but those premiums aren’t great enough to offset the quality grade discounts.”

In nearly every category significant to final value, the cattle free of lung adhesions won out: final live and carcass weight, days on feed, average daily gain (ADG), cost of gain, dressing percentage and quality grade.

All of this was reflected in final profit per head, where that group earned $67.55 while those with adhesions and treated lost $5.32.

Nobody wants sick calves, but this study punctuates the need to employ prevention strategies diligently.

“When we report this study to producers, most of them say, ‘What happened? My calf has lung adhesions but he was never treated in the feedlot,’” Busby says.

Lung adhesions indicate an animal had health challenges at some point in its life — but not when — so the calf could have been sick earlier, or missed in the feedlot.

“After one of the worst

feeding winters, we found lung adhesions were three times normal, indicating environmental factors as well,” Busby reports.

“Based on other work, we know that the younger, lighter calves are the biggest problems,” he says. “So I’d suggest good nutrition at late gestation and early lactation, calves vaccinated and weaned 30 to 45 days — those are proven [on-ranch] methods to reduce health problems in the feedlot.” After placement on feed, the manager

can only invest the time to identify sick calves and treat them with effective drugs.

He looks to the future with high hopes for additional tools to combat the problem.

“In our data, the estimated heritability of being susceptible to bovine respiratory disease was .18. I hope someday DNA technology will help us identify sires and select for that,” Busby says.

Just as crossbreeding adds growth, fertility and longevity to hybrid cattle, the joint collaboration of two beef cattle breed associations yielded information, ideas and networking opportunities surpassing what either could have accomplished alone.

Profitability was the common theme at the first-ever, dual-breed Beef Profit Alliance seminar, and more specifically, profitability for the commercial rancher. The seminar — held at Kansas State University (KSU) in Manhattan, KS, July 22-

Red Angus is an ideal crossbreeding solution for producers who want to add heterosis to their cowherd.

Heterosis = Efficiency, Fertility and Profitability Patsy Houghton, Heartland Cattle Co., of McCook, NE, has expansive research and experience rooted in developing over 80,000 beef heifers in the past two decades.

“Crossbred cows’ firstservice conception rates and pregnancy retention rates are 7 percent higher than straight-bred cows,” said Houghton, “and they will remain productive an average of one year longer.”

She continued by saying, however, there is a compromise. “Heterosis will increase birth weight by 4 percent, but the upside is that weaning weight also increases by a considerable average of 15 percent.”

Dr. Bob Weaber, KSU cow-calf extension specialist, simplified the cow-calf production objective — grow grass for the cows to harvest, converting that grass into pounds of weaned calf.

The result is not only profitability for the producer, but a desirable lifestyle and an improved environment.

He stressed that for maximum profitability each operation must

Back to the basics to plan for 2012 harvest

by Nancy Glazier, Small Farms Support, Yates County After surviving the roller coaster of the 2012 growing season, it is time to plan for surviving the winter feeding season. In preparation, start with the basics.

First of all, make sure you do a great job with silage harvest. Take the time to tune up the chopper in regards to particle size and processor settings.

You may need to adjust equipment from field to field! This is not the year to skimp on inoculant. Research has shown there is a payback of 10:1 with the use of inoculants. Also, make sure your dry matter is where you want it to be; start harvest at 32-35 percent DM;

higher end of the range for upright silos. Don’t look at kernel milkline, take a sample and dry it down. Remember a koster tester can give you a reading of 2 percentage points drier than actual dry matter. If you don’t have a koster tester, work with your nutritionist or call us!

Pack, pack, pack. Cover, cover, cover. This is the year to prevent as much storage loss as possible. Double-layer plastic, white over black, is ideal as an oxygen barrier. Silo Stop™ is even better in one step. It would be beneficial to cover side walls as well.

After harvest is in, take an inventory.

Fact sheets to assist with estimating inventory and herd forage needs are

listed under Fall Decision Tools on our website (www.nwnyteam.org). Plan out how much you have and how much you need. Start now to find feed if you anticipate running out. Forages are in short supply across the state as well as country! Look for nearby standing corn, corn silage or hay. Western hay may not make it to the Northeast this year. Work with your nutritionist to find alternative feedstuffs.

From a hay perspective, maybe give those poorer fields a shot of Nitrogen.

Try 50 pounds actual N. Hit the older fields harder and try to save the younger fields for next year. Make sure you have adequate Potassium on your alfalfa fields to prepare them for overwintering. If you fall-kill sod, maybe

keep those fields for an early harvest in the spring.

An option for early forage harvest as well as cover crop benefits is winter small grains. Recent research has shown rye, triticale, and wheat can provide biomass of 2 to 4 tons DM per acre when harvested early to mid-May, even when planted after corn silage harvest. Seed is currently available, but act now! Fact sheets on this are available on our website.

Cull least profitable cows now. The price is dropping, and probably won’t improve for a while. Check your number of youngstock, too. Now is the time to sell so you aren’t feeding them all winter.

Profitability from B1 adapt its cow type and size to best fit the range and forage conditions. “The key is to optimize the cow’s size and her lactation ability to fit the environment, producing the most pounds — and number of calves — delivered, at the lowest possible production cost,” said Weaber. “Low-cost producers are generally more profitable.”

grid. “You are in the beef business,” said Brink. “Feedyards buy your customers’ cattle making us your customers’ customer.”

He challenged seedstock producers to be diligent in selecting genetics that will leave a good fingerprint on the industry. “Genetically speaking, we need cattle that will grow and grade. Your genetics are going out there in the industry and having an impact in my world. Make sure it’s a good one.”

Brink also stressed the importance of receiving healthy cattle that grow and grade. “Health is an old problem but we still identify it as the number one production problem. Many cattle still need stronger immunity when they leave home. If not, they de-value their penmates.”

Branded beef programs add value Branded beef programs are designed to add value to cattle that fill a specific niche in the market. Top genetics enable producers to garner those extra dollars, according to Blake Angell of Meyer Natural Angus, Brian Bertelson of U.S. Premium Beef and John Butler of Beef Marketing Group. The panel of speakers also stressed better communication from their producers. “If we have previous feedlot and grid data, we have a better idea of how these cattle will perform and how we can maximize added value,” said Butler.

The panel emphasized ranchers can implement strong health and nutritional programs on the ranch that will create more profit margin at harvest time, as well as utilize added-value tag programs.

The Red Angus Feeder Calf Certification Program (FCCP) verifies genetics, source and age, and the newly released Allied

To understand the importance of carcass merit, attendees were able to evaluate three live Simmental and three live Red Angus steers at the beginning of the conference, then view the six carcasses on the last day. Dr. Michael Dikeman, KSU professor of meat science, presented the official quality and yield grades, carcass weights, ribeye areas, dressing percentages and carcass dollar values, and explained what characteristics contributed to profitability.

“It is important for each beef producer to understand what they deliver to the consumer,” said Kevin Miller, Croissant Red Angus, Briggsdale, CO. “The genetics that each one of us provides makes an impact on value and quality all the way through the system.

We all need to understand that value does not stop at the point where we market our cattle.”

Shorthorn releases three new $ value indexes: $CEZ, $F, $BMI

What’s the BIG BUZZ this fall?

$ Calving Ease, $ Feedlot, & $ British Maternal Index now available online Shorthorn genetics can now be selected via three new avenues of profitability. Association staff worked with USDA to formulate $ Value Indexes over the past year. The areas of emphasis were chosen based on the demands of the commercial producer: calving ease, profit on the rail, and cow production longevity. Percentile ranks within the breed are also displayed to the right of each index as an additional assessment of the individual. Complete definitions of the indexes are available on the Performance page of www.shorthorn.org. $ CEZ — $ Calving Ease assumes a bull will only be mated to heifers, not cows. The potential profitability of the sire is measured by the incidence of live calves at birth, but the index is also a good measure of Shorthorn females’ ability to produce calving ease specialists. $F — $Feedlot places strong emphasis on growth and carcass traits.

This multi-trait index assumes the sire will be mated to a mix of heifers and cows and attempts to measure profitability when progeny are sold on the fed market. $BMI — $ British Maternal Index,

as the name implies, attempts to measure a bull’s potential profitability when complimenting the British cow base (Angus, Red Angus, Hereford, etc.). Shorthorn females can likewise be gauged at adding value to British or British-composite bulls of other breeds. A balance of growth and carcass traits is desired with a strong maternal component aimed at optimum reproductive efficiency and cow longevity.

Patrick Wall, Director of Genetic Improvement for the American Shorthorn Association (ASA) says the breed is working hard to expand its role within the beef cattle industry. He explained, “These indexes are a solid step in the right direction. They give the commercial industry solid multi-trait tools that highlight the breed as a strong source for maternal heterosis and feedlot profitability.” According to the USDA Meat Animal Research Center (MARC) across-breed EPD adjustments, Shorthorns rank among the top breeds for Milk, Marbling, and Meat (via Fat & REA EPD). For more information about Shorthorn genetics, visit the ASA website at www.shorthorn.org, or contact a Field Representative.

MacFadden & Sons Inc. 1457 Hwy Rt 20 Sharon Springs NY 13459 518-284-2090 or www.macfaddens.com

by Assemblyman Marc W. Butler (R, C, I-Newport) It’s amazing to think that something like Greek-style yogurt would take New York’s dairy industry to a whole new level in terms of production and job growth. Personally, we love Greek yogurt in my family, my grandkids especially, and who would have thought that this simple dairy product would become so important to us.

In New York, roughly 1,500 people are em-

ployed by Greek yogurt producers who provide nearly 70 percent of the nation’s supply, worth about $4.2 billion.

Even here upstate, our very own Fage USA in Johnstown accounts for 14 percent of the market. This is a big deal for New York.

I’m excited by Fage USA’s plans for expansion, which will invest $115 million in capital and add about 150 more jobs right here.

Fage’s American home, began by producing 26 million pounds of yogurt annually, now it makes 123 million pounds. The expansion would help them ramp up production to 352 million pounds.

Milk production and sales are high, at nearly $2 billion. In about five years, yogurt production has grown by 60 percent, and the New York Farm Bureau estimates that for New York dairy farmers to keep up with

demand, milk production has to grow by 15 percent. This means New York would need about 91,500 additional dairy cows. Cornell Cooperative Extension expects the Greek yogurt craze to become more than just another fad, as the United States consumption, per capita, still has room to grow.

I also commend Governor Andrew Cuomo for acknowledging the impact the yogurt industry has on our econ-

omy and for hosting the New York State Yogurt Summit recently to explore ways to help our farming communities.

Greek yogurt production is proving to be a multiplier in our economy. It takes about three pounds of milk to make the protein-rich yogurt — two more pounds than conventional yogurt — which these companies purchase from local farmers.

This means there is an increased need for milk tanks and trucks for transport, manufacturing equipment and workers to keep the high-demand production running smoothly.

To keep up with this scale of production, New York State and the federal government will have

to work together closely.

Much of what impacts dairy farmers in New York are federal policies like the dairy price market. What we can do here in New York is reduce red tape and taxes to maximize the already limited profit margin of dairy farmers’ milk sales.

This is truly an exciting time for New York agriculture and upstate rural job growth. If you have ideas on how to improve our state’s agriculture and economy, please share them with me. I can be reached at either my Johnstown office at 518-762-6486 or my Herkimer office 315866-1632. You may also send your ideas to me at butlerm@assembly.stat e.ny.us.

Angus mobile application continues to grow The free, smartphone app now has more features for cattle herd management.

Standing in his Louisiana pasture, Lee Robbins of Grand Bayou Farms greets the latest addition to his cow herd.

It is calving time, once again, and Robbins pulls a trusty, black object from his pocket to record the birth. But this year it’s not a calving book, it’s his smartphone.

“I’ve gone all electronic now, and I won’t go back,” Robbins said. “It is a lot easier and faster for me to handle things on the computer and iPhone.”

Robbins’ digital calving book is courtesy of the American Angus Association®’s smartphone application, Angus Mobile.

When using the app, his

PRO-DAIRY from B16 ists. Caroline has been a key partner for us on a number of programs and tours and she has had remarkable ability to work behind the scenes on behalf of NEDPA and the dairy industry,” Dr. Overton said.

George Allen, Allenwaite Farms, Inc., Schaghticoke, NY, has demonstrated longstanding advocacy and leadership on environmental issues. Allen serves on a statewide CAFO working group and has repeatedly opened his farm for educational farm tours to legislators and policymakers. He is recognized for asking astute questions and for providing leadership in developing and shaping policies that promote environmental stewardship.

Caroline Potter has developed many close collaborations with PRODAIRY as Executive Director for Northeast Dairy Producers Association, based in Fabius, NY. She is recognized for providing thoughtful leadership and promoting collaboration on key dairy industry issues.

Caroline has been a key partner in the collaborative development of dairy industry conferences and tours and has enhanced communication across the dairy industry.

calving information quickly travels from Dubach, LA, to Association headquarters in Saint Joseph, MO. “A paper trail of certain information will always

be important; it’s not going away anytime soon,” Robbins said.

“But everyone is getting hightech phones and it is necessary to stay ahead of that curve.”

The Association launched Angus Mobile in January 2012 and since that time, more than 3,170 users have downloaded the app.

Calving data is just one

example of how cattlemen are using the tool to manage herd inventories. The MyHerd function grants access to the Association database, AAA Login, where they

can search for specific animals, update information and view performance records.

Angus from B18 with potential cattle buyers, I might not have paperwork with me, but I can pull up all the background information from as many generations as I need,” Robbins said. “It is a wealth of information at your fingertips.”

The Angus Mobile app also offers tools such as the gestation calculator and tables to tabulate the date when a calf is due, based on a 283-day pregnancy. Weekly National Cattle Evaluation reports, Beef Improvement Records and Angus Herd Improvement Records (AHIR®) data can be analyzed through the smartphone application, as well.

Hayes Martens, who lives on a small Angus operation in Chillicothe, MO, says he and his wife, Kelly, enjoy looking at the sale books and show results through Angus Mobile: “Even when you’re out in the pasture, you can look through sale reports and books. Just last night, I was reading through the show results from the Missouri State Fair.”

Users can also stay up-to-date on the latest Angus headlines, videos and upcoming events.

And, the Association is constantly looking for ways to improve the app. In the latest update, available now on both Apple and Android devices, users can check out of their AAA Login cart through the smartphone. Previously, producers could enter calving records, but had to check out using a computer.

The next update in the works are more MyHerd options, including dam production, AHIR work history, and optional push notifications to alert users of updates or current news. In a society that is using more technology every day, the Association will continue to find ways to improve programs and services for its growing membership.

“Living in the country, you’ve got to find ways to adapt,” Martens said.

“This is one tool for Angus breeders to use technology through a userfriendly app, and it’s much better than a piece of paper in the truck cab.

You’re always going to

have the smartphone with you.”

Download the Angus Mobile app Visit the iTunes Store or App Store when using an iPhone, iPod or iPad. A quick search for Angus results in the application link. Click on install, and

the icon will appear on the device’s screen or desktop.

The Angus Mobile app is compatible with the iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, iPod touch (third generation and fourth generation), and iPad. It requires iOS 5.0

or later, which can also be downloaded through iTunes and installed by connecting the iPhone to a computer.

For Android devices, visit Google Play or the Amazon App Store and search for Angus and the application should ap-

pear. Download on a smartphone, and it is ready to operate.

Also, Angus Mobile users are encouraged to update the application whenever new versions are released. This ensures the best possible experience with the service.

Pasture and Hay Crop Insurance Helps Organic Dairy Manage Drought Risk LISBON, NY - An organic dairy relies heavily on pasture and forages to feed their herd. One of Robert Zufall's biggest challenges is to ensure a continuous supply for his dairy herd of about 200 cows, calves and heifers, through rotational grazing for about seven months, and by cutting hay and baleage for winter. One of the biggest threats to his plan is drought.

"Since we're organic, if there was a year when there was a short supply of forage, it would be pretty difficult, almost impossible if there was a widespread drought, to obtain our forages locally," says Zufall, whose farm is located in St. Lawrence County, only a few miles from the St. Lawrence River and the Canadian border.

To manage this particular risk, Zufall purchases a type of crop insurance, called Pasture, Rangeland and Forage (PRF), which protects against drought. If a payment is triggered, this money is available to help Robert Zufall, Organic Dairy Farmer from Lisbon purchase replacement feed.

The program uses 50 years of rainfall data from NOAA to determine the average monthly rainfall index for the 12 x 12 mile grid in which the pasture and/or hayland lies. With the help of a crop insurance agent, the farmer finds their grid location, and selects a coverage level and deductible. Farmers can use historical trends for their grid, and their growing patterns, to decide on one or more two-month intervals to insure, and which acreage to insure for each of those intervals.

When the actual precipitation index is less than the average for the insured two-month interval, minus the deductible, a payment is mailed automatically.

Zufall first heard about PRF at a pasture walk that he hosted at his farm, and this is his second year participating in the program.

"We have about 200 acres, more or less, in grazing land, and about 100 acres of hay land in the program at this time," he says.

To get started in the program, Zufall called a crop insurance agent, who visited the farm to complete the initial paperwork.

The agent visited once again last fall, when he renewed his policy.

"It's very easy to do," said Zufall.

Because payments are based on the actual rainfall index against the historical average, as a representation of yield loss, there is no damage to assess, no meeting with an adjuster, and no reporting.

PRF crop insurance is available in every county in New York State, and must be purchased from a crop insurance agent.

November 15th, 2012 is the deadline to enroll in the program, or make policy changes, for the 2013 growing season. It is important to meet with an agent well ahead of the enrollment deadline, to ensure enough time to evaluate the program and complete the necessary paperwork.

Zufall recommends the program to other farmers. "I think they need to study their own situation, of course, to get their historical data so they can deduce some patterns that will help them out. But in the long run, I think it's a good thing for anyone to have."

Crop insurance must be purchased from a licensed agent. Enrollment deadlines vary by crop.

Pasture, rangeland and forage (PRF) crop insurance has an enrollment deadline of November 15th, 2012 for the 2013 growing year. Most spring-planted field crop policies must be enrolled by March 15th of the growing year. Winter wheat and barley crop insurance enrollment is September 30th. You can find a crop insurance agent on the web, by going to the agent/company locator tool at www.rma.usda.gov.

The New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets has partnered with USDA Risk Management Agency (RMA) to provide crop insurance education to New York State farmers. For more information, please visit the NYS Crop Insurance Education website at www.agriculture.ny.gov/AP/CropInsurance.html or call 518-457-4531 or 800-554-4501.

MILC Payments by State Fiscal Year 2010 and Fiscal Year 2012.

MILC program payments at the same level they have been since the passage of the 2008 Farm Bill, there will be no payments during the interim period of September through December un-

der a short term extension of the current Farm Bill law.

The following chart prepared by economist Dr. Ken Olson compares MILC payments in the Northeast on a state by

state basis for MILC in 2010 and 2012 (up until the end of August 2012).

There were no MILC payments in 2011.

You can see that the payments have substantially increased in comparing 2010 and 2012

due to lower farm milk prices this past year. The far right column shows the percentage of increase between 2010 and 2012in MILC payments.

National Cattlemen’s Beef Association (NCBA), is a challenge to all beef producers to share their story with consumers.

“We are continually

improving our methods and practices,” said Williams, “and we need to tell consumers. In the end, they just want to know that their food is safe and healthy.”

Williams stated that the world population will double in the next 40 years. Currently 7 percent of the world’s cattle are producing 20 percent of the beef — a testament to good management and production practices.

“Ranchers are the most trusted source to tell beef’s good story,” he said. “You are the original stewards of the land and the best caretakers of your animals. Tell your story talk the walk!”

Sarah Jones, Red Hill Farm, Scottsville, KY, agreed with Williams.

“We are truly in the business of producing beef

for consumers — not just live cattle on the hoof. Whether Red Angus or Simmental breeders, we must all be advocates for the beef industry — the industry that puts money in our pockets and food on our tables.” Kevin Unger, manager, Decatur Co. Feed Yard, Oberlin, KS, said, “The ability to take the information available and move quickly and decisively will become more and more important in this industry.

Those that know their product will be better equipped to take these new advances and implement them into their operations to affect their bottom line.”
