Dairy is family tradition at the Fonda Fair

by Elizabeth A. Tomlin Dairy families have been showing their livestock at the county fairs for generations.

“It is a very important family time,” remarked Chris Nellis of Nellis Acres Dairy, Palatine, NY. Nellis and her husband, John, and their three daughters, Katie, Brittany and Erin recently brought a few of their Holsteins to the 171-year-old

Montgomery County Fair in Fonda, NY. “John has shown there for 35 or 40 years,” said Nellis. Together, as a family, they have shown at the fair for 30 years.

This year, 16-year-old Erin Nellis was awarded Supreme Champion and Reserve Champion of the 4-H Show, while older sister Katie, who was showing for two farms, was awarded

Judy Littrell of the Town of Florida, NY and her family also competed at the county fair. While her children are younger than the Nellis girls, they have also been showing as a family tradition. “My family has been showing at Fonda Fair since 1975,” Littrell stated.

“Many of the other families that show there have been showing there longer than that!”

Littrell reports that their farm exhibited eight heifers at the fair, including three Holstein ‘spring calves’, one Holstein ‘winter calf’, two Holstein ‘fall calves’, one Holstein ‘spring yearling’ and an Ayrshire ‘winter yearling’.

“The kids all received at least blue (excellence) ribbons in 4-H,” said Littrell.

Beef and dairy - a tasty and winning combination at New York State Fair

by Pat Malin Young ambassadors speak up for beef The New York Beef Council occupied one corner in the cavernous Dairy Products Building that houses the popular butter sculpture exhibit and where fairgoers buy ice cream, milk and other foods.

Still it was hard to miss NYBIC’s large yellow and red banners and an audience of about 25 people listening to beef topics presented by enthusiastic teens on the Culinary Stage.

John Weber, a 19-year-old from Minnesota, was part of a team of five senior ambassadors selected by the National Beef Council to tour the U.S. for one year and give presentations to consumers, typically at local fairs and schools, in addition to utilizing social media. The other senior winners for 2012 were Emily Jack (Texas), Arika Snyder (Pennsylvania), Kim Rounds (California) and Rossie Blinson (North Carolina).

“We travel around and showcase beef products,” said Weber. “We discuss nutrition, food safety and quality, how the beef is raised, and answer as many questions as possible. We’re putting a face on the industry.”

The group participated in the New

York State Fair from Aug. 25-29.

Dressed in red shirts, pairs of perky teens gave presentations throughout the day. They also spread their message with an interpreter for the deaf signing next to them.

The current Ambassador Team will relinquish their titles at the 2013 contest in Sacramento, CA, Sept. 28-30.

The team is funded in part by the Beef Checkoff Program and individual state beef programs.

The cute tongue-in-cheek display included two children wearing medals and raising their arms in triumph. At the center of the Greek temple, an oversized cup labeled Greek yogurt erupted with a flame. The sculpture was created by Pennsylvania sculptors Jim Victor and his wife, Marie Pelton, using nearly 800 pounds of unsalted butter.

High quality forage drives intake; intake drives production Part one

by Sally Colby Dr. Limin Kung, professor of animal science and dairy nutrition at the University of Delaware, says that because forage quality drives intake, whatever comes in from the field should be preserved so that the investment made in that tonnage isn’t lost.

“Forage quality drives intake,” said Kung. “The rumen has a fixed volume, and if it’s stuffed with poor quality forage, the rumen is full. If I want to feed more to the animal, I can’t because the rumen is already full of low-digestibility, high-fiber stuff. The only way to unstuff the rumen is through digestion, but if the silage is poor quality, it doesn’t digest well.” Kung wants producers to understand that high production does not increase feed intake. “If you can get cows to eat more, they’ll produce more milk,” he said, “but not the other way around.”

Kung outlined four possible scenarios for forage quality. The first is starting with poor quality forage in the field and doing a bad job putting it into the silo — the obvious result is poor quality feed for the entire year. In the second scenario, with poor quality coming in from the field but an excellent job putting it in the silo, the result is still poor quality feed. The third scenario, which Kung says is the worst, is having the best possible quality forage in the field, but doing a poor job putting it in the silo. “What we want is high quality forage coming in from the field, and excellent silage management,” he said. And because harvest usually takes place within a two-week period each year, farmers should remember that those weeks are crucial to the entire year’s feed program.

As he visits dairy farms throughout the United States, Kung has found that two things stand out, regardless of farm size or cow numbers. “These two things make a difference on topproducing farms,” he said. “One is cow comfort, the other is forage quality. If

you have those two things down, everything else becomes a little easier.

If those two things blow up, everything else (reproduction, mastitis) becomes a lot harder.”

Kung referenced a Michigan study that examined NDFD (fiber digestibility) and for every one unit of NDFD increase, there’s a 0.4 to 0.5 increase in pounds of milk per cow, per day.

What does that mean? “If I have 100 cows, increase NDFD by one point, and get 0.5 more milk per cow, I just made $3,000 more for that year.”

What about quality after the forage is in the silo? Kung says that no one has 100 percent recovery — even the best silo manager loses about five to ten percent of total dry matter. “Dry matter loss is the result of heating,” said Kung. “CO2 is a gas, so when silage ferments poorly, the CO2 produced goes into the atmosphere. The ‘C’ is carbon, which is part of the fiber, protein, sugars and starch, so that’s where you’re losing dry matter through calories in heat.”

16:10 Kung says that making good corn silage is all about staying away from extremes. “Try to get most of the crop somewhere in the middle, at about 32 to 37 percent dry matter,” he said. “You’re never going to get it all there, but the key is to get as much as possible in that middle range.” That’s best because starch digestibility is ideal at that range.”

Corn silage that’s harvested too early is usually too wet. “If you put it up too wet, you have low kernel development so there’s low starch and low energy,” said Kung. “Wet silages ferment a lot, and probably ferment too much.” Kung noted that feeding high amounts of wet silage means reduced intake because of high acid content. Wet silage also results in seepage, which means loss of minerals, proteins, sugar, and energy. If silage is put up too late, at about 42 percent dry matter, the result is too much starch that is less digestible. “I want high starch and high digestibility,”

September 11, 2012 Dairy Farmers! This Might Be Your Last Chance!

The petition drive that is calling for a national milk hearing to establish fair raw milk prices for all dairy farmers is growing by leaps and bounds. The original petition drive originated with Peter Hardin, the editor of the nationally published farm paper, the MILK WEED. We certainly encourage all dairy farmers to sign a petition and send the petition to Dana Coale, Deputy Administrator — AMS Dairy Programs in Washington D.C. There is no reason why the USDA should not hold the hearing. Prices paid to dairy farmers have been running at least $6- $8 per cwt. (hundred

weight) below the national average cost of production. There are many costs that are escalating to all dairy farmers, but the accelerated cost of grain, hay and feed costs are leading the way.

We have been clamoring for years that the dairy farmers’ costs of production must be brought into a pricing formula for all dairy farmers. Certainly the time is ripe for this milk hearing to be held. Anything less than a hearing that will allow the John Doe dairy farmers a chance to testify is totally unacceptable.

According to the petition the Secretary of Agriculture has the authority under section 608 C 18 of the enabling language for Federal Milk orders to act upon evidence presented

Without any reservation, prices paid to dairy farmers are certainly not reasonable!

Some people are trying to confuse dairy farmers by stating that if 608 C 18 was appropriate, then the law would have been implemented a long time ago. Hogwash! I have no knowledge that anyone has really called for a hearing to have dairy farmers’ costs brought into a milk pricing formula.

I’m fully aware of the lawsuit that St. Alban’s Co-op in Vermont started several years ago, when Judge Session ruled that it was obvious 608 C 18 had not been implemented in the dairy farmers’ prices. Further action taken by the U.S. Congress played a part in the co-op dropping their lawsuit.

Drought

by Joe Parzych No one has to tell farmers that drought conditions exist. Almost 80 percent of agricultural land is experiencing drought, making it the most extensive drought since the 1950’s, according to the USDA. The Mississippi River is being dredged because it is too low for barge travel.

The increased cost of shipping commodities to seaports by rail is sending grain prices upward. The drought is wide spread over much of the world.

Russia had a shortfall in their wheat harvest, again. Australia is also having a rain deficit.

What is the cause of the drought and when will it end? Climatologist James Gildea of Bernardston, MA predicted this past year’s warm dry winter with drought in the Midwest. He saw indications of the coming drought in November 2011 after earlier noting that a warming of the Pacific began in February of 2011 heralding El Nino. In a meeting with an agricultural committee in Bernardston, MA, this spring, Gildea predicted a dry year in the Midwest with very wet conditions in the Southwest, heavy spring rains in the Northeast with dry weather to follow.

His predictions were right on.

“There are many variables,” Gildea said, “but the temperature of the North Atlantic Ocean is a good indicator of long term weather in the U.S. A cold Atlantic Ocean results in a blocking ridge of high pressure which resulted in England and Ireland being covered with snow last winter. A warming of the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Peru indicates a beginning of El Nino resulting in drought, among other things.”

Weather has a direct effect on economic conditions. World grain prices are on the rise because of poor grain growing conditions in many countries.

U.S. corn and soybean prices have doubled from last year. And then there’s 10 percent corn based ethanol in every gallon of gasoline mandated in many states.

With drought in the Midwest effecting harvests of corn, soy beans and wheat prices will continue to rise, which is good news for farmers who are able to produce a decent crop. The U.S. is the world’s largest exporter of these grains, exporting upwards of 70 percent of the total imported by other countries. That figure may go higher with continuing drought in other countries.

by Elizabeth A. Tomlin Low protein diets and understanding the role that amino acids play in dairy production have been popular topics in the dairy industry.

In an in-depth discussion, the science behind amino acid nutrition and how it works in dairy rations was presented by leading researcher and dairy nutrition consultant Dr. Charles G. Schwab (Professor Emeritus of Animal Sciences at the University of New Hampshire) and Cornell University Extension Dairy Nutritionist Dr. Larry Chase. Cornell PhD student Ryan J. Higgs of New Zealand was also present at this meeting to report on low protein diet trials used on two dairy herds in New York State.

Guidelines for implementing low protein diets in dairy herds were also discussed.

Schwab commented that many producers and nutritionists are still constrained by crude protein when they should be focusing on amino acids and fermentable carbohydrates in the dairy herd’s diet.

Amino acids are required for microbial protein synthesis, synthesis of tissue, and comprise the building blocks of milk proteins, enzymes, hormones and muscle. An imbalance of amino acids along with limited amounts of essential amino acids will prevent dairy cows from realizing their full potential in the milk tank and in reproduction, while also having an effect on their overall health and longevity.

Schwab noted the amino acid composition of each protein is different with individual amino acids chained together in specific patterns (peptides) forming specific proteins.

Research shows that cows have a different requirement for each of the 10 essential amino acids that are not made in the body and must be absorbed in the intestine.

Although most amino acids are available in sufficient amounts in dairy rations, frequently fed rations, such as corn and soybean meal, do not provide essential lysine (Lys) or methionine (Met), both shown consistently to be the first and second limited — or deficient — amino acids. This results in a reduction of milk protein and productivity.

Using a power point presentation showing charts and statistics, Schwab pointed out that ideal intestinal lysine levels supporting milk production near 100 pounds daily are about 180 grams/day, with intestinal methionine levels of about 60 grams/day. He reported that the ideal ratio of lysine to methionine is 3 to 1 and should be carefully monitored, as an imbalance will result negatively in milk production. He explained that Met also plays an important role in liver metabolism by minimizing ketosis and fatty liver syndrome.

Schwab advised nutritionists and producers to update ration-balancing programs to meet new standards for balancing amino acids.

“Accept the concept that balance is important,” he emphasized.

Schwab explained that the goal is to

meet ruminally degradable feed protein (RDP) and ruminally undegraded protein (RUP) requirements for desired milk yield and composition, while using the minimum amounts of each.

Monitoring milk urea nitrogen (MUN) will give you an idea of how much ammonia the rumen is producing and gives an indication of how well your herd is using crude protein.

Excessive levels of ammonia may be the result of overfeeding protein or an imbalance of carbohydrates and proteins in the rumen, which is causing it to function inefficiently. High levels of MUN may also interfere with reproduction in your cows.

MUN may be measured individually with DHI testing or on groups of cows through milk line drip samplers. Bulk tank samples are another method of testing.

Schwab stated the first step to balancing diets for amino acids is achieving concentrations in metabolizable protein (MP) that are as optimal as possible and he emphasized using high quality forages to increase the growth and activity of rumen bacteria, thus producing high-quality microbial protein.

“Lower crude protein rations do work!” affirmed Dr. Larry Chase.

Chase said there are three ways to provide the amino acids required, by supplying microbial protein, bypass protein sources (RUP), or rumen protected amino acids.

“However,” Chase cautioned, “there are always considerations and risks involved when altering rations and nutrition management on dairy farms.” He emphasized higher levels of consistent daily management with close monitoring.

Chase stressed balancing rations to improve the efficiency of protein and nitrogen.

He discussed logical approaches to meeting protein and amino acid requirements by maximizing dry matter intake to increase microbial protein production, which will provide more essential amino acids to the small intestine and allow more feed space in the ration. Less crude protein in the ration provides room for other feedstuffs, such as fermentable carbohydrates, which, according to Schwab and Chase, are highly desirable as feed that rumen bacteria will respond to.

“We know a pound of fermentable carbohydrate is good for 2 to 4 pounds of milk,” Schwab reported.

This would also maximize microbial protein synthesis.

Using a ratio formulation program that estimates the amino acid balance, such as the Cornell Net Carbohydrate and Protein System (CNCPS) — or a similar program, will help farmers balance rations.

“The approach used needs to make sure the basics, DMI, forage testing, ration mixing, feed delivery, etc., are taken care of as the base for the ration,” Schwab said. “Then it is appropriate to lower crude protein, adjust metabolizable protein and balance for amino acids.” Schwab stated after this approach has been completed you

Crop Comments

by Paris Reidhead Field Crops Consultant Winter Roughages and Woodchucks Tuesday (yesterday as I write), I delivered the balance of a ton-and-ahalf order of winter wheat seed to a Central New York farmer. Three weeks ago he had ordered that amount of winter rye grain seed, in order to plant a cover crop on some ground that would have its corn chopped shortly after Labor Day. Just prior to his order, I had picked up, and delivered 650 pounds of rye seed to another farmer, leaving my seed supplier with at least ten tons of 2012 rye harvest in inventory.

When I wanted to place the 60 plus bag order, I was told that someone had just purchased all ten tons of rye seed. My cost on that rye seed on that earlier small order had been $13 per 50 pound bag.

I asked my supplier if she could source more rye seed. She had already checked out that option, but that it would cost me about $19 per bag, and she didn’t know when that would come in. So I asked her about triticale, as a plan C. She did some homework, and

(Contact: renrock46@hotmail.com)

said there had been a run on domestic triticale, and that seed would have to come out of Canada, and that she would have to charge me about $25 per bag. So I told my Central New York customer that I would try to get the Canadian triticale for him but I didn’t know when it would come in. I didn’t tell him that it would likely cost twice as much as my original rye seed quote, but did tell him that getting the stuff through border customs could be a challenge. The bigger issue with the Canadian seed is that western Canada appears to be getting the rain which the U.S. grain belt was cheated out of all summer; i.e., they have the crop, but they can’t get in the fields. (Actually, I don’t know where the Canadian rain came from... but they got too much of it.)

Plan D emerged. Turns out that my supplier and her husband grow a lot of wheat (which I knew), in addition to corn, soy, sunflower, and barley.

Her winter wheat inventory was about 100 tons.

I explained to my customer this third option

about two weeks ago, and got his okay to bring him wheat, which I finished delivering yesterday. He plans to get the wheat planted within a day or two, and it looks like weather is cooperating. (Good news: the wheat cost less than the original rye quote.) Although the Northeast clearly isn’t as droughtstricken as the country’s grain-belt regions, many of the area’s farmers, particularly dairy, are concerned about winter feed inventories. Where grazing is the central part of the feed program, rain-starved pastures have often forced the premature feeding of stored feeds. These feeds had been previously allocated for the off-pasture cold weather periods.

Even dairymen using little or no pasture expect that reduced hay yields will cause forage shortages late next winter and early spring.

A little more about triticale. A unique hybrid of the wheat genus (Triticum) and rye genus (Secale) was first bred in Europe a little over a

century ago; the resulting new genus is called Triticosecale, shortened (by non-scientists) to triticale. Triticale combines the high yield potential and good grain quality of wheat, with the disease resistence, weed suppression, and environmental tolerance of rye. Only recently has it been developed into a commercially viable crop, grown mostly for forage. When crossing wheat and rye, wheat is the female parent and rye is the male parent (pollen donor). The resulting hybrid is sterile, and must be treated with a type of drug to make it reproduce.

Triticale has much of the weed suppression (allelopathy) trait of its daddy, rye. One thing that amazes me about this relatively new crop is how little of it is planted in the U.S. The primary producers of triticale are Poland, Germany, France, Belarus, and Australia. In 2009,

approximately 15 million tons were harvested in 29 countries across the world. The tenth largest triticale producer globally was Denmark with about 1.5 million tons.

(The U.S. ranks somewhere behind Denmark, a country with an area roughly equal to that of Vermont and New Hampshire combined.)

All of these winter grains can be used as cover crops. But a much better term (than cover crops), in the opinion of Cornell Professor Quirine Kettering, is “winter forages”. Among her many responsibilities, Quirine oversees field crop research at the Cornell Valatie Research Farm. (Actual day-to-day operations at that Valatie location are managed by certified crop advisor Tom Kilcer.) Kettering firmly believes that the use of this new phrase will place crop people in a more apt frame of mind to manage the cold weather stage of growing

roughages (and grains).

Fall-planted grains have demonstrated the ability to store large amounts of nutrients, particularly nitrogen, in their biomass over winter. This means they’re “ready to roll” with the minimum amount of topsoil temperature (40 degrees Fahrenheit) and sunshine during late winter and early spring.

Winter forages thus are very much alive under all that snow, often with root systems quietly growing, taking advantage of all that geo-thermal warmth. Just in case anyone thinks everything is dead underground from December through March, think of the woodchucks, which... like these winter forages... are dormant. Although with woodchucks we use the term “hibernate”.

But they are very much alive, much to the regret of the farmers owning the land which houses their boroughs.

Hints for preventing combine fires Combine owners have invested heavily in the purchase, maintenance and storage of this important piece of farm machinery. And since a combine fire can result in a significant financial loss, owners should be constantly monitoring the machine for timely maintenance functions that can reduce the risk of a costly fire. This list of hints to safe combine maintenance can go a long way to preventing combine fires.

1. Conduct a thorough inspection of the combine prior to the start of the fall harvest. Make sure that you consult the owner’s manual on proper inspections and cleaning.

2. During inspections and cleanings, make sure the engine is shut off, the parking brake is set, and the key has been removed from the ignition.

3. Know your machine well, and make sure you focus on cleaning areas that collect unnoticed debris, chaff and straw. Also check those operating areas where temperatures are likely to be elevated, such as around the engine compartment.

4. Inspect the fire extinguishers that are located or mounted on the combine to ensure that they are fully charged.

Two 10-pound, ABC-type extinguishers are recom mended, with one located near the operator’s cab and another

readily available from ground level.

5. During periods of heavy use during harvest, take a few moments during each day to remove accumulated crop material and debris. Dry, hot and windy conditions can add to the accumulation of debris; so be diligent about daily (and/or multiple) inspections.

6. Some crops are known to be “sticky,” such as canola and sunflowers. Since they tend to adhere to the machine, remove the excess crop material that could cause increased heat — and ultimately a combine fire.

7. During harvesting activities with a farm combine or any farm equipment, carry a cell phone to report emergencies if they occur. It’s important to pro-

vide responders and others who are coming to your aid to have a complete set of directions to find your location.

Don’t disconnect responders until they are aware of your location and the nature of the emergency.

Consult your combine’s owner’s manual for a complete listing of maintenance duties to reduce the level of risk for a fire or other hazardous condition.

Dairy cow lameness can negatively impact milk production, reproductive success, farm costs, and public perception of how well a farm cares for its cows. To help farmers better assess and treat lameness, the Northern New York Dairy Institute will hold a series of four 10:30 a.m.-3 p.m. workshops from Oct. 16 through Nov. 9 at sites across the region.

The Northern New York Dairy Institute Hoof Health Workshops will be a combination of classroom and on-farm sessions held from on: • Tuesdays: Oct. 16, 23, 30 and Nov. 6 at Jefferson and Lewis County locations • Wednesdays: Oct. 17, 24, 31 and Nov. 7 in St. Lawrence County • Thursdays: Oct. 18, 25, and Nov. 1 and 8, at Franklin/Clinton/Essex County locations.

“Controlling lameness is a major priority for the dairy industry. This hoof health series of Dairy Institute workshops will help farmers develop and implement a lameness reduction program for their farms,” says Northern New York Dairy Institute co-organizer Ron Kuck, a dairy and livestock educator with Cornell Cooperative Extension Jefferson County.

The Week 1 classroom and on-farm sessions on Oct. 16, 17 and 18 will cover hoof anatomy, locomotion scoring, hoof maintenance and proper hoof trimming with John Anderson of Lake Effect Hoof Trimming Service.

The Week 2 sessions on Oct. 23, 24 and 25 will cover hoof diseases and treatment, the causes and the cost, and how to handle lame cows with Dr. Jan Shearer of the Iowa State University College of Veterinary Medicine via weblink and on-farm with local dairy professionals.

The Week 3 sessions on Oct. 30, 31 and Nov. 1 will cover animal welfare practices by applying the New York State Cattle Health Assurance Program (NYSCHAP) hoof health module and Dairy Beef Quality Assurance Program protocols with Cornell University Beef Extension Spe-

cialist Dr. Mike Baker.

The on-farm sessions will offer a NYSCHAP walk-through audit and how-to address the media and public with American Dairy Association and Dairy Council Public Relations Specialist Beth Meyers.

The Week 4 sessions on Nov. 6, 7 and 8 will cover hoof problem prevention and the importance of cow comfort and body condition scoring.

The on-farm session will cover how to handle lame cows with an emphasis on infectious claw disease. Jeff Wheeler of Zinpro, Eden Prairie, MN, and other agricultural industry leaders will lead these sessions.

The Moo News

Newsletter of Penn Dutch Cow Care

by Hubert J. Karreman Hi Folks, We’ve certainly been blessed with adequate rainfall here in the Lancaster region as crops look nice. I think it’s safe to say that everyone is extremely thankful at this point about our growing conditions, especially when hearing about the devastating drought affecting other parts of the U.S. this summer.

Even pasture seems to have made it through August in good shape. I know I spend a lot of time talking about pasture — that’s because pasture is so fundamentally important for cow health.

There’s never any good reason to be against pasture for ruminants and horses — especially since that’s what God created ruminants and other herbivores to eat primarily.

The term herbivore is simply the scientific way of saying that an animal is biologically programmed to eat plants.

Plants have been used for food forever by animals and people. Plants and herbs are spoken about in the Old and New Testament — to eat, to use for health, and as symbols within parables/stories.

However in the Old Testament, all illness and healing was thought to be provided by God, so plants specifically for healing were not discussed much.

There are about 125 references to plants and plant terms mentioned in the Bible (specific plants or words like vine, flowers, thorns, etc.).

Some people plant Biblical herb gardens with plants mentioned in the Bible. These kinds of gardens likely started in monasteries, when monks or nuns were the local providers of medical care to both nobility and peasants. In Italy, the Medici family was famous for their additions of plants and their derivatives to the world of medicines.

It only makes sense that herbivores will respond favorably to plants administered as medicines since their digestive system has all the enzymes to digest & absorb plant compounds easily.

Even if giving herbal medicine not by mouth, the entire herbivore system of the cow, sheep,

goat or horse should respond well. When I read in the late 1990’s that the Chinese give herbal teas to humans intravenously (IV) in hospitals, I knew I had to try it in my bovine patients. I’ve given tinctures IV since then (in dextrose) and am generally pleased with the results. However, you must make sure that the tincture is extremely well made if giving directly into the blood stream.

The most common route of administration is through the mouth — as it should be. There are two good reasons for this.

First, it is the normal way that animals take in plants into their system.

Thus their digestive tract is alerted and can respond since it’s biologically geared to take in plants anyway. Folks that watch animals on pasture know animals like to eat a variety of plant species — certainly not only orchard grass, white clover, and perennial rye but lambs quarters, smooth pigweed, soft seed heads of spiny red

root, poison ivy, multiflora rose, quack grass, etc.

The second important reason to give herbal medicines in the mouth is that the sense organs are very concentrated in the head area. The sense of taste of the tongue is directly related to the sense of smell in the nose while our vision and hearing help orient us in space and time. These four senses are the main ones our herbivorous animal friends have, as they don’t have sensitive finger tips for touch like we do.

The four main sense organs are only a very short distance away from the brain, which processes incoming information with amazing speed. Additionally, there are lymph nodes near the base of the tongue, behind the jaw and along the throat that help process incoming information towards the immune system. Between the brain’s immediate response to the herb via the facial senses and the digestive tract’s ability to sift, sort and absorb

plant material, it can easily be seen that oral administration is the best method of giving herbal medicines — whether they be tinctures, essential oils, dried herbs, teas or glycerites (glycerin as the carrier, which animals like much better than the alcohol of tinctures, which may give a

burning sensation).

The list of dosages shown below is from a book I stumbled upon many years ago — it’s a gold mine of real information of plants used by veterinarians for animals “back in the day” — when botanical medicine was commonly used by veterinarians. It’s called The

Book of Veterinary Doses by Dr. Pierre Fish (Slingerland -Comstock, Ithaca, 1930). Dr. Fish was Dean of the Cornell Veterinary School. All doses shown are tinctures for oral administration in ml/cc.

give. The doses shown in the table are from modern day veterinary practitioners from all over the world that use herbs. What’s really nice is that these doses match up fairly well with the doses used in the 1930’s with dose for tinctures being between 1-3 Tbsp, which is approximately 15-45 cc (1Tbsp = 15cc & 1 tsp = 5cc) I am pleased to have both Dr. Wynn

Free-stalls, bedding surfaces go head-to-head at Clayholm Farms Pennsylvania dairymen have a variety of cow comfort solutions and can see clearly what’s performing best

by Holly Harper Equipment wears out and needs to be replaced at different rates, and there isn’t usually a good reason to toss something out if it still can be used.

That’s how Clayholm Farms ended up with two different types of free stalls and three different types of bedding on their 800-cow registered-Holstein dairy in Worthington, PA. Having a variety of systems makes Leland and Roy Claypoole, real farmers farming in realworld conditions, able to truly compare different cow-comfort solutions head-to-head.

Free stall change When some of the Claypoole’s 480 free stalls needed replacing, they didn’t tear out all 480, they just replaced the 180 stalls that were in poor shape. And they didn’t replace them

with traditional steel loops, either.

The Claypoole family decided to install GREENFREESTALL®, a product introduced in the U.S. in 2009 that is a flexible, durable plastic tube structure that moves with the cow.

“My dad saw them when he went to a show in Toronto, and we went up and looked at them at another farm,” said Leland Claypoole. “Just comfort wise the cow gets up and she can lunge, and the stall will really flex and move and bend with her. With our steel ones, if she hits that steel she can get bruised or injured.”

The bedding question: mattresses, waterbeds, or sand Clayholm farms has approximately 390 cows being milked, 400 heifers, and another 90

dry cows. The farm also has three different bedding systems: 320 waterbeds, 150 mattresses, and around 400 sand stalls for the heifers.

How do these bedding solutions stack up at Clayholm farms?

“With the Pasture Mats, our cows tend to want stand with their front feet up and their back feet in the alley,” said Claypoole. “With the waterbeds, they’ll walk in

and lay down a lot faster.”

When the Claypooles decided to install the waterbeds, they kept the mattresses they had that were still in good condition. Today, the mattresses are 10 years old.

“The Pasture Mats, after about five years, they started packing and they now have holes that have sawdust in them and the back feet of the cows can get stuck,” said Claypoole.

“The DCC Waterbeds can’t

pack down on us.”

Cost is also less for the waterbeds.

“The mattresses use more sawdust,” said Claypoole. “On the waterbeds, we use just a little bit of lime on the dry cows and a little lime and sawdust on the milking groups.”

One of the concerns with bedding systems is preventing hock issues.

“When the cows lie down on the waterbed,

they’re floating,” said Claypoole. “It’s less resistance on the hock than concrete or mattresses. We still get some swollen hocks on the old Pasture Mats, so then we stick those cows on the DCC Waterbeds to heal them up.”

After 10 years, the Claypooles’ mattresses might be getting near the end of their life expectancy.

“When I have to replace these mattresses, I would put in more waterbeds,” he said. “The waterbeds are two years old and still look as good as they day

we put them in.”

What about sand?

No one disputes that sand provides superior levels of cow comfort, but sand also takes a lot

of work.

“The sand is good for comfort in the heifer barn, but the waterbeds are right up there with it,” said Claypoole. “Neither

the cows on the waterbeds nor the cows on the sand have swollen hocks.”

So, if comfort is the same, which does Claypoole prefer?

Two of five milking groups at Clayholm Farms sleep on traditional mattresses.

“Now, once the sand leaves the stall, it becomes a curse,” he said.

“In the summer, the heifers get flies on them and they want to dig holes down underneath where it’s cool. This makes us have to rake and level more. And, the sand is hard on the equipment as it gets into the manure spreaders.”

If he had to choose between putting in a sand barn and a waterbed barn?

“Probably the waterbeds. You put the waterbeds down, and other than buying and putting a little bit of lime on them, it’s pretty much maintenance free,” Claypoole said. “We don’t have swollen hocks on the waterbeds, and the

cows lie down right away.

Comfort wise, compared to sand, waterbeds are pretty much even.”

Clayholm Farms is making each of their technologies work for them, and pushing everything to last as long as possible, while still keeping a high level of cow comfort. But, it seems pretty clear which way these second generation farmers are going to go as time marches on.

warned that “We could see some downward pressure over the next couple of weeks.

Among numerous conversations, two go a long way toward summing up the current market situaCalifornia Dairy Producers Say They’re Being Milked!

Issued Sept. 7, 2012 Cheese prices were mixed in the Labor Day holiday-shortened week.

The blocks closed the first Friday of September at $1.83 per pound, down a penny on the day, up a penny on the week and 4 1/2-cents above a year ago. Barrels closed at $1.7750, down a quarter-cent on the week and 5 1/2-cents above a year ago. Eleven cars of block traded hands on the week and four of barrel. The AMSsurveyed U.S. average block price hit $1.8469, up 3 1/2-cents, while the barrels averaged $1.8313, down 0.1 cent.

USDA’s Dairy Market News (DMN) says cheese manufacturers in all regions of the country would increase production if more milk was available. Recent heavy

CME sales were attributed to “buyer demand which found less cheese available from manufacturers than desired, taking some buyers to the CME as a result.” Some demand is from buyers who seek cheese in addition to already contracted levels, DMN said.

Buyers are alert for available cheese but also being cautious about locking in a price. Many manufacturers anticipate some milk tightness relative to demand in the near future, as milk production continues to reflect the impact of summer weather and resulting feed prices.

Market analyst Jerry Dryer wrote in his August 31 Dairy and Food Market Analyst newsletter that he believes cheese prices will continue to move in a fairly narrow range; possibly for the entire month of September but he

tion, Dryer wrote; “Domestically, a veteran marketer said: Overall business is good; not a barn burner, but not bad. Internationally, a veteran trader said: They’re (international buyers) grum-

bling about the price, but they’re still placing orders. Some are just filling in and waiting for a deal out of Oceania, but right now they’re still buying.”

By the end of September, reality will have set-

tled over the market, according to Dryer. Cheese supplies here and around the world will clearly be short of the pending holiday demand.”

Butter wise, the spot price inched a half-cent lower Friday, to $1.8650, up 2 1/2-cents on the

week, the 11th week of gain, but 4 3/4-cents below a year ago. Eleven cars sold on the week.

The AMS average hit $1.7686, up 1.1 cent.

continues to depend on cream availability and price, says USDA. Some butter producers indicate that standardized cream volumes are increasing as school bottling programs gear up.

In recent weeks, churning schedules were often not keeping pace with demand and inventoried stocks were being used.

The Cold Storage report indicated the July drawdown was heavier and earlier than normal.

Overall butter demand is steady at good levels. Retail orders are the strongest with food serv-

ice easing.

Cash Grade A nonfat dry milk held all week at $1.70 while Extra Grade inched a penny higher to $1.6350. AMS powder averaged $1.3263, up 3 cents, and dry whey averaged 55.97 cents, up 1.2 cents on the week.

Milk supplies vary by region, according to USDA. Milk supply and demand are reportedly in balance in the Central region where refilling the school pipeline occurred easily this year. Shipments into the Southeast were phasing in gradually. Requests for fluid milk from the Southwest appeared the last week of August which, according to some milk handlers, was an unusual pattern.

California milk output was leveling off after several weeks of very hot weather.

Processing plants were running at reduced levels with some reporting milk levels 3-5 percent or more below a year ago. Manufacturing milk supplies in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic have declined with the increase in Class I demand from schools are back in session. Tropical storm Isaac was not the event forecast for Florida and many schools that were scheduled to close did not, resulting in strong Class I demand.

Milk production in the Oceania region is trending higher and moving off the low point of the production year. Situations are generally quite favorable from both weather and water standpoints, according to USDA, but weather forecasters are predicting effects of an El Nino cycle that could include dryer summer conditions. This could affect crop and pasture growth more in dry land production areas. Australian output in June was reported to be 4.3 percent higher than June 2011 and up 4.2 percent year to date.

FC Stone dairy broker Dave Kurzawski said this week’s Global Dairy Trade auction priced index leapt 6 percent over the previous report, as global demand for dairy products remains robust. The gap between U.S. and Oceania prices narrowed but U.S. prices are still above Oceania’s.

Cooperatives Working Together (CWT) accepted seven requests for export assistance this week to sell 734,139 pounds of cheese; 352,740 pounds of butter; and 44,082 pounds of anhydrous milk fat (AMF) to customers in Asia, Central America and the Middle East. The product will be delivered December 2012 and raises CWT’s 2012 cheese exports to 79.1 million pounds plus 56.7 million of butter, and 123,459 pounds of AMF to 34 countries on four continents.

CWT Chief Operating Officer Jim Tillison said in Thursday’s DairyLine that CWT’s export assistance program is as, if

In other dairy news, July butter production totaled 133 million pounds, down 3.4 percent from June and 2 percent below July 2011, according to the latest Dairy Products report.

Production of nonfat dry milk totaled 149 million pounds, down 11.6 percent from June but 12.1 percent above a year ago.

American type cheese, at 356 million pounds, was down 1.1 percent from June but 1.8 percent above a year ago.

Italian type cheese output totaled 368 million, down 2.7 percent from June but 2.3 percent above a year ago. Total cheese production amounted to 874 million pounds, down 2.3 percent from June but up 2.3 percent from a year ago.

Commercial disappearance of dairy products in the first six months of 2012 totaled 100.2 billion pounds, according to USDA, up 2.4 percent from the same period in 2011. Butter was up 4.1 percent; American cheese, up 0.8 percent; other cheese, up 1.2 percent; Nonfat dry milk up a whopping 45.6 percent; but fluid milk products were down

2.2 percent.

USDA’s latest Agricultural Prices report shows the preliminary national average price paid to farmers for corn in August was $7.54 per bushel, up from $7.14 last month and compares to $6.88 a year ago. Baled alfalfa hit $203 per ton, up from $198 in July and $196 a year ago. The soybean price, at $15.90 per bushel, is up 50 cents from July and compares to $13.40 a year ago. The preliminary all-milk price of $17.80 per cwt. was up from $16.90 in July but down from $22.10 a year ago. The official July MILC payment is $1.638 per cwt., up 27 cents from June.

California’s August 4b cheese milk price was announced at $16.57 per cwt., up $1.39 from July but $2.03 below August 2011, and $1.16 below the comparable Federal order Class III price. The 4a butter powder price is $15.40, up $1.90 from July and $4.83 below a year ago.

The 2012 4b price average now stands at $14.34, down from $16.50 at this time a year ago and compares to $12.69 in 2010. The 4a average, at $14.66, is down from $19.24 a year ago, and compares to $14.18 in 2010.

Things are heating up in California and I’m not talking temperature. The Milk Producers Council (MPC) announced that legal action was filed in Superior Court of California, stating that the California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA) failed to follow the law in refusing to bring California’s Class 4b price into better alignment with prices paid by cheese manufacturers around the country. The “Writ of Mandamus” was filed on behalf of MPC, Dairy Farmers of America, Security Milk Producers Association and California Dairy Campaign.

MPC reported that the

action stems from a CDFA administrative hearing on May 31-June 1, 2012.

That hearing was held to consider changes to the formula used by CDFA to calculate California’s “Class 4b” monthly minimum price, the price paid for milk being sold to cheese manufacturers.

California law requires CDFA to calculate prices that are in a “reasonable and sound economic relationship” with what comparable milk is sold for around the country, MPC said.

“The law is very clear that the prices announced by CDFA must be in reasonable alignment with prices paid for

comparable milk produced and sold around the country,” said Rob Vandenheuvel, MPC General Manager. “CDFA is violating that law and rewarding cheese manufacturers, including several huge national and international corporations, with a state-sponsored discount on the milk they buy, all at the expense of roughly 1,600 California dairy families that deserve a fair price for their milk.”

I have regularly pointed out the differences between California’s 4b price and how it trails the Federal order Class III price by very wide margins. Vandenheuvel

cites what that has cost California producers in his August 31 newsletter available at www.milkproducerscouncil.org.

California Ag Secretary Karen Ross says she’s committed to working with the state’s dairy industry to find long-term solutions and has invited 32 dairy farmers, cooperative leaders and processors to form the California Dairy Future Task Force, according to Dairy Profit Weekly (DPW).

Ross said “It is imperative that task force members begin work as soon as possible and strive to

Roughly $2.5 million is available for this year’s Livestock Gross Margin for Dairy (LGM-Dairy) insurance program.

Administered by the United States Department of Agriculture’s Risk Management Agency (RMA), LGM-Dairy is a margin insurance program that can be purchased through local, licensed insurance agents.

Producers should act quickly due to funding issues and benefits being awarded on a first-come, first-serve basis. Funds were used completely within the first two months last year.

For more information on LGM-Dairy insurance, visit www.rma.usda.gov.

Dairylea’s Dairy Risk Management Services (DRMS) and DFA Risk Management also help dairy farmers to

Meanwhile; more than 50 California Dairy Campaign (CDC) members have called on Congress to pass legislation enabling California to join the Federal milk marketing order (FMMO) system.

CDC executive director Lynne McBride charged that “Prices paid to dairy producers in California are the lowest of any regulated state in the nation and joining the FMMO would increase pro-

With dairy producer discontent growing, Western United Dairymen is hosting a program to educate producers about the Federal market order system, September 20, at the Tulare Ag Center, Tulare, Calif. Some dairy producers are organizing a September 13 protest at the State Capitol in Sacramento.

On a “happier note,” a California judge has thrown out a lawsuit filed by the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) seeking to stop California dairy farmers from airing TV commercials portraying how happy, healthy and well-cared for the state’s dairy herds are. Some might ask; why aren’t the dairy farmers themselves

ized, interactive short courses. Attendees could choose to attend four of 10 different short courses, including one taught in Spanish.

“This was the first year that we offered just short courses at our regional meeting,” said Dr. David Reid, NMC first vice president and owner of Rocky Ridge Dairy Consulting.

“This change allowed individuals to select specific topics that were of interest to their individual business. It also provided for smaller group settings and the opportunity to interact directly with instructors.”

“The change in conference setting from a large lecture room to a smaller more interactive classroom style was well-received by this year’s participants,” notes Reid.

A diverse group of veterinarians, dairy

farm managers and employees, industry and milk plant field staff were in attendance. Attendees traveled from 22 states, Puerto Rico and four countries.

NMC thanks its regional meeting sponsors who contributed to the program’s success.Gold sponsors include: ABS Global, Inc., Dairy Farmers of America, Ecolab Inc., Land O’Lakes, Inc. and Merck. Silver sponsors include: Capitol Plastic Products LLC and Select Sires Inc. Special thank you to Dean Foods and Land O’Lakes for sponsoring the milk breaks.

If you missed the regional meeting, make plans to attend the annual NMC meeting, Jan. 27-29, 2013 in San Diego, CA. Plans are already underway for an interesting and exciting event.

Got PC? Manage Farm Information Using Your On-Farm Computer Computers are underutilized on many farms. Consequently, the scope of Dairy One services you currently access via your computer are likely underutilized.

Your on-farm computer can be a valuable resource when it comes to storing information and providing useful data that can help you make better, more timely decisions for your farm. Below are several ways to use your PC to better organize data, monitor efficiency, receive test results, and more.

DHI reports. When it comes to receiving your DHI results, you don't have to wait for paper copies to be mailed to you—simply opt for web reports, which you can view online and download at your convenience. Web reports look exactly like the reports you receive in the mail, but can be accessed easily on your computer. Ask your DHI technician to sign you up for this option on your next test day or go to www.drms.org. You can keep the option for mailed reports, or choose paperless reports only and save postage and handling charges.

Herd Management Software. Do you know which cows to breed today? To sell?

To check for pregnancy? For comprehensive monitoring of production, reproduction, treatments, vaccinations, and more, choose herd management software that is right for your dairy. Dairy Comp 305 is the choice for large dairies, Dairy Comp LS is great for mid- to large-size dairies, and Scout is an excellent option for small- to mid-size dairies. We also sell and support PCDART herd management software. All of these programs allow you to monitor changes in your herd and allow you to make more timely decisions.

Most of the software works with daily milk meter interfaces, which automatically retrieve milk weights for each cow after each milking. Parlor performance can then be evaluated in Dairy Comp using some simple reports and criteria.

Dairy One also offers two handheld devices that work with herd management software: Pocket Dairy for PCDART, and Pocket Cow Card for Dairy Comp. You can take the handheld with you anywhere for easy access to herd information and quick, easy data entry when you’re on the go. The devices sync back to the herd management software on your computer. Support for all of these products is available through amr@dairyone.com, or by calling our toll-free number at 1-800496-3344.

results, a grower or consultant can determine the effectiveness of an applied fertility program over time. Contact soil@dairyone.com for more information.

FeedWatch software. Take the guesswork out of feeding with FeedWatch software, which allows you to track progress with reports, including projected usage, dry matter intake, feed efficiency, and more. FeedWatch features wireless radio communication between the mixer and your office computer, and the software coordinates data transfer in real time for the most up-todate information. Use FeedWatch to automatically schedule feed loads, as well as create and schedule loads to maximize mixer capacity.

TankWatch software. Would you like immediate notification when your bulk tank values reach certain levels? Monitor your bulk tank with webbased TankWatch software. You (or anyone else you designate) can receive alerts and text messages when values reach a certain level.

TankWatch data is available to members of Dairylea, Dairylea’s affiliated cooperatives, or DFA. Visit www.tankwatch.biz to register online, or contact the Agricultural Management Resources group at amr@dairyone.com.

Camera Systems. Have you ever wanted a better way to monitor your fresh cow and calving pens, milking parlor, and fuel tanks? Dairy One offers complete camera systems to meet all of these needs. Keep an eye on dayto-day operations with camera systems that allow you to monitor video feeds from cameras anywhere on your farm. Review and scan recorded video, and view cameras from other computers on the network, or via the Internet with remote access, allowing you to view operations even when you’re on the go. Dairy One can provide complete network solutions for your barn computer and camera setup. Contact amr@dairyone.com for more information.

Fields and Crops Manager Software. Organize all of your crop information in one convenient location with Field and Crops Manager Software.

Access field acres, history, manure records, soil lab test results, and more.

Use the Rotation Planning tool to plan next year's crops by field, generate to-do lists, and produce FSA reports quickly and easily.

Gather more useful information that can be used with Fields and Crops Manager software with a weather station. WeatherLink software syncs with the station, which provides detailed analysis and graphing. Log weather data on a daily basis, including rainfall, wind speed, and wind direction.

Your on-farm computer is an indispensable tool that helps you manage your farm and make well-informed decisions for your operation. Learn more about these options and other ways to integrate computer technology on your farm by contacting your DHI technician, or call Dairy One at 1-800-496-3344. You can also learn more about these services at www.dairyone.com.

Forage analysis results. The Dairy One Forage Lab is an industry leader in analyzing feed, forage, manure, water and a host of other products. They also have a friendly, professional customer service team available to answer questions and provide results via phone or fax. When testing forage samples, turnaround time is often critical in order to make decisions regarding ration changes and optimal harvest times. Therefore, for even faster turnaround, choose to receive your results via e-mail. Be sure to include your e-mail address on lab submission forms to take advantage of this option. Contact forage@dairyone.com for more information.

Soil analysis results. The Agro One soils laboratory is a state-of-the-art lab and like the forage lab, they are also dedicated to providing fast, accurate results.

Choose to receive your soil analysis results via e-mail to help you make timely, informed decisions regarding nutrient management. Fields and Crops Manager software users can store their soil data within the program for accurate recordkeeping and easily accessible field history. By keeping good records of your test

Crop Insurance is One Way to Manage Organic Risk PALMYRA, NY - Kurt Forman of Clearview Farm started using crop insurance nearly twenty years ago, when Farm Services Agency (FSA) compensated him for some crop losses on the condition that he enroll. He has been in the program continuously ever since.

"With the weather the way it's been, it just seems like more of a necessity," said Forman. "Last year in particular it definitely helped."

Located in Wayne County, east of Rochester, Forman grows field corn, soybeans, oats and forages, and at least Kurt Forman of Clearview Farm 100 different varieties of vegetable crops, all organically.

He sells his products at two farmer's markets, to organic co-ops, through a multi-farm CSA, and this year he is experimenting with his own joint CSA with a poultry and egg farmer.

In 2011, heavy spring rains brought flooding to key New York State agricultural regions. Heavy rains from Hurricane Irene in late August, followed by Tropical Storm Lee about a week later, caused widespread and catastrophic flooding of rivers and streams. Farmers on higher ground still battled excess moisture and fungal diseases.

"I came up with some income [from crop insurance] that I wouldn't have otherwise. It wasn't like having a normal crop because it covered 60-70 percent of the crop, but still it was a help. It helped me get through," said Forman.

As an organic grower, Forman has found the new organic crop insurance to be helpful. Crop insurance is available for certified organic, transitional and buffer zone acreage, for crops that have an organic premium set by USDA Risk Management Agency that recognize additional risk associated with organic practices.

In New York, organic price elections, insurance amounts, projected prices and harvest prices are available for corn, soybeans and processing tomatoes. Other crops may be insured if there is a crop insurance program, but the organic crop is insured using the same pricing and insurance amount structure as the conventionally-grown crop.

What would Forman tell other farmers about crop insurance?

"Well, I tell them definitely to try it," he said. "If they haven't used it before and they're concerned about how much money they spend, they might want to go with some of the lower levels of coverage. Maybe they just want to try that one crop, a crop that they've had more challenges with than other crops. Pick that one crop, insure it, and see how it works for you.".

For more information on crop insurance in New York State, 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. To find a crop insurance agent, please contact your local Farm Service Agency (FSA) office, or go to the USDA RMA website at www.rma.usda.gov and select the agent/company locator.

Vermeer announces next generation of Rancher® Balers The Vermeer Rancher® Balers offer customers a right-sized, right-priced baler for their ranch, with the ability to produce large-diameter bales that can be easily moved and fed. And now, the next generation of Rancher Balers from Vermeer is here with the introduction of the Rancher 6640 and Rancher 6650 Balers.

“Rancher Balers are built to meet the needs of our cost-conscience customers, while still providing the features they need on their ranch,” said Phil Chrisman, Vermeer Product Manager.

“Now, the Rancher Baler models include features such as standard flotation tires and improved Haysaver wheels, enhancements meant to make the Rancher Balers an even better fit for these customers.”

Standard flotation tires (31x13.5L15) on the Rancher 6640 and 6650 Balers offer improved flotation for smoother handling on rough terrains over previous Rancher Baler models.

In addition, the improved design of the Haysaver wheels make adjustments simple, using just a few turns of the wrench, and the addition of a radial pin clutch at the pick-up provides better durability and reliability.

The new Rancher Balers come standard with the Bale Expert™ monitor offering userfriendly functionality such as bale shape sensing, real-time bale size

data and optional moisture sensing. Customers can also get the optional Vermeer netwrap system, which is easy to load, feed and operate.

The Rancher 6650

Baler produces bales up to 66 inches x 61 inches with a minimum horsepower requirement of just 60hp. The Rancher 6640 Baler can produce bales up to 66 inches x

47 inches with just a 50 hp minimum.

UNIVERSITY PARK, PA — New technologies, such as smart phones and tablets, allows new opportunities to access almost any type of information and data with the simple tap of an app.

Penn State’s Extension Dairy Team has developed a mobile app titled DairyCents that offers two features: calculate income over feed costs (IOFC) and feed price comparisons with the Penn State Feed Price List or other users across the country. Funding was provided in part by the USDA-Risk Management Agency.

The goal of developing the app was to provide useful information to the user while keeping it very simple. Income over feed cost is determined by taking milk income per cow minus feed cost per cow and addresses only the lactating animals. It is a simple calculation but for most producers requires a lot of inputs because of all the different feeds fed and grouping strategies. The question arose: if using readily available market information to simplify the

calculation would it result in a number that was realistic to the more in-depth calculation?

Penn State has a very extensive database of feed prices and IOFC for the University dairy herd over multiple years. Starting with market data from 2001, monthly prices for alfalfa hay, milk, corn grain and 48 percent soybean meal were used to determine feed cost per cow per day on diets developed by Virginia Ishler for cows averaging 65, 75, and 85 pounds of production. The information was graphed over the multiple years and compared to the Penn State dairy’s IOFC. The results showed that trends and interpretations were identical using the simplified version compared to the more indepth calculation. If a producer wanted to get a sense of what was happening with the markets and how it was affecting IOFC, this app would show similar trends to the more detailed calculation. However, this approach should not replace a farm’s own IOFC

as ultimately that is the best measure to determine if feed costs are in line with the herd’s performance.

Using the mobile app DairyCents is as easy as entering a zip code, selecting a milk production level, and date and the app will calculate IOFC. The display will show feed cost/cwt, feed cost/cow, gross milk price, milk margin/cwt milk and IOFC/cow/day. Historic data can also be graphed for IOFC, feed cost and milk price starting from January 2012 on either a per cow or per cwt basis.

The second feature of DairyCents is allowing the user to compare their purchased feed price to the Penn State Feed Price List and to other users in the database who have purchased the same feed. This section of the app allows the user to track over time how prices of select ingredients are trending. Each month the database will be populated with prices from the Penn State Feed Price List.

Butler calls Thruway Authority’s 45 percent toll hike a detriment to Upstate New York’s economic recovery Assemblyman holds legislative hearing on toll increase when Thruway Authority refused Assemblyman Marc W. Butler (R, C, I - Newport), along with several other Capital Region Assemblymen, held a hearing on Sept. 5 on the Thruway Authority’s proposed 45 percent toll increase on commercial vehicles with three or more axles.

The increase would impact the trucking industry, which is the main transport system for the majority of goods and materials in the state. According to the Assemblyman, the impact this toll hike would have on the economy would be disastrous, hurting small businesses, manufacturers, farmers and families.

“A toll hike of this magnitude would send a negative ripple effect throughout New York’s economy, leading to job losses and businesses closing for good; we simply can’t afford to make others pay for the Thruway Authority’s poor fiscal management,” said Butler. “I listened to testimony from representatives of nearly every industry in the state, and they all agree

that the toll increase would be bad for everyone, especially middleclass families. I know the Thruway Authority may not want to hear it, as was so apparent from its refusal to hold a Capital Region hearing, but we’re going to issue a final report to make public the comments we heard today.”

Butler is troubled by the blatant efforts of the Thruway Authority to balance its books with this toll increase, which is an obvious tax. The Thruway Authority was warned several times about its fiscal management practices, twice during independent audits and once through an audit by Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli’s office. Comptroller DiNapoli has publicly spoken out against the Authority’s increase.

Toll increases in recent years have led to a decline in traffic. In 2011, revenue fell by one percent, and the Thruway’s spending continued to grow at a rate of seven percent. Trucks represent 10 percent of traffic on the Thruway, yet they pay for 40 percent of the tolls, according to the New York State Motor

Truck Association. Increased costs on transportation of goods will only add to the cost of products, which Butler fears will put undue strain on already tight family budgets.

Nearly every industry was represented at the hearing, from small and large businesses, to retail, manufacturing, farming, lumber, grocery and trucking — especially owner-operated companies. The lawmakers also heard from municipal officers, who said they are concerned that secondary roads would be the alternate route for trucks, which was confirmed by a trucker who told the assemblymen that he does take other routes just to avoid Thruway tolls. Assemblyman Butler said the comments will be sent to the Thruway Authority, Governor Andrew Cuomo, and the press.

Assemblyman Butler and his colleagues suggested that the ability to increase tolls should be taken out of the Thruway Authority Board’s control. The Board is comprised of politically appointed bu-

reaucrats who have no accountability to the public or the legislature.

Butler pointed out during the hearing that authorities don’t have the same requirements for public scrutiny and oversight as state legislators, county legislators, town and village officials, and school boards in formulating their fiscal policies.

Butler welcomes ideas from the public. Please feel free to call either his

Trucks Johnstown office at 518762-6486 or his Herkimer office at 315866-1632.

Crossbreeding — or the inter-mating of two to three different breeds of dairy cattle — has gained consideration and practice on many commercial dairy operations over the past decade. The end justifies the means, creating an efficient producing dairy cow that thrives under the pressures of milk production and repro-

duction. With proper genetic selection the heterosis attained in traditional crossbreeding produces a generation of animals that are, on average, consistently higher in fertility, body condition, feed conversion rates and other health traits that add to lifetime profitability.

Though true crossbreeding cannot be ac-

complished within a single breed, increased gene heterozygosity can occur, and individual trait improvement can be attained when specific lines of genetics are crossed, says Jeff Ziegler, genomics program manager at Select Sires Inc. Specifically, when two animals of distinctly different genetic make-up are

crossed, a boost from the genetic differences can be achieved in the next generation.

Just as easily as illustrated in the single mating of crossing specific genetic lines, this same practice can be applied on a larger, broader scale — more suitable for modern dairy operations. Using a pool of sires that are pre-sorted

in a specific line, which are both complementary to the genetic base, the female population within the herd and significantly different in genomic make-up, allows the herd to achieve an increase in heterosis without conventional crossbreeding.

The key to achieving the maximum opportunity of such genetic en-

Crossbreeding concept within the Holstein breed?

hancement within the same breed is the careful, thoughtful and persistent identification and segregation of genetically similar individuals. To accomplish this, the use of pedigree comparison alone is not sufficient, because it does not account for the significant amount of random genetic sorting that takes place at conception.

Drastic differences in genetic make-up can and are often found in fullsib matings. But today, with the additional use of genomic testing, a more accurate view and assessment of an individual sire’s genetic make-up can be discovered. Through strategic sorting and even subsequent matings, over multiple generations, the level of similarity within a genetic line can be intensified. This takes time and focus- but it can and has been done.

The fourth annual Southern Adirondack Fiber Festival will be held at the Washington County Fairgrounds on Sept. 22 and 23. More than 120 fiber-artisans from New York and New England will be participating in this weekend celebration of keeping fiber arts and natural fiber production alive and well.

New this year is the Handspun Skeins Show and Sale, sponsored by Sutherland’s Petworks, the Alpaca Fleece Show and Sale, sanctioned by the Alpaca Owners and Breeders Association and the Fiber Related Photography contest.

Every aspect of fiber

will be represented from fleece to finished goods.

In addition, there will be handcrafted spinning wheels, drop spindles, knitting needles, soaps, baskets, and bags. For a second year the addition of workshop and classes are offered. From novice to expert, here is the opportunity to hone your skills. These classes require pre-registration and a listing can be found on the festival’s website at www.adkfiber.com.

For the kids and kids of all ages demonstrations include sheep shearing, sheep herding, weaving, felting, spinning, Kool-Aid dyeing, and Rug Hooking.

The New York Hereford Breeders held their Annual Empire Classic Show at the Seneca County Fairgrounds on July 21.

Judge Clyde Cranwell evaluated 51 head of quality Hereford cattle.

This show was made

possible in part by generous sponsors. Farm Credit East and Mayer Cattle Company were gold level supporters, while Andersen’s Maple Farm, Bristol’s Weatherhaven, Dorman Farms, JCW Farms, JKW Herefords, Spring Pond

Farm, TP Farms, and WBB Farm were all silver level sponsors and Maple Breeze Farm, Marland’s Hyland Farms, and Twin Pines Farm were Bronze level sponsors.

After evaluating several classes of Junior Showmanship, Judge

Cranwell selected Evie Groom as the Champion Peewee Showman, Tyler Card as the Champion Junior Showman, James Held as the Champion Intermediate Showman, and Tom Smith as the Champion Senior and Master Showman.

Champion Cow Calf

Judge Cranwell then exhibited both heifer and bull futurity divisions, which breeders had entered matings for prior to the animals being born in 2011, and then continued their entry through to show the animals as yearlings.

RIJ It’s A Secret, a Jan. 13, 2011 bull by RST 1030 Top Secret 7011, shown by RIJ Farm was selected as the winner of the bull division and TP O My My Y03, a Feb. 13, 2011 heifer by TP Dumore W04, shown by TP

Farms was selected as the winner of the heifer division.

In the cow/calf show, Judge Cranwell tapped Tullyfergus Dora 379, a 3 year old cow by TH 80N W39 Robin Hood 39T, with her Jan. 9 heifer calf by Feltons Legend 242, exhibited by Maple Breeze Farm as the Champion Pair.

Week ending Sept. 7 Apple crop: Fall is here and that means apple picking and apple consumption for many New Jersey consumers. But will yields this fall be equal to seasonal averages? Not exactly for New Jersey, say some New Jersey apple growers, and especially not for some leading apple-producing states like Michigan and New York. The apple crop was pinched in late spring due to some sub-freezing overnight temperatures. The more northerly the location, the more likely it is for diminished yields. Michigan is estimated to be

down 90 percent and New York is off 50 percent. The state of Washington, however, has a bumper crop and normally provides about 70 percent of all the U.S. apple production. Overall, U.S. apple production in 2012 may be off 14 percent compared to 2011 according to industry sources. Locally, there will be plenty of apples available for sale in New Jersey amid spot shortages. Add to that warmer temperatures this growing season, so harvesting will be a week or two early. Bill Walker of the NJDA’s Markets Division was quoted this week as saying: “some growers

‘S

had a 50 percent loss, and that means apples and cider will be more expensive.” Apple picking should last through September and October.

Health advisory — West Nile Virus: Public health officials locally and across the country have elevated their concern for the mosquito-borne West Nile virus (WNV) for the remaining weeks before the frost. WNV is very dangerous for horses and is now also a human health concern, with a particularly intense outbreak among people in the Dallas, Texas, area.

There have been eight cases of human infection so far in New Jersey. The current outbreak is on track to be the worst occurrence since the virus first arrived in 1999. Only 29 cases were reported a month ago, which has now jumped to 1,590 cases in 47 states including 66 deaths. The virus is spread

by the bite of an infected mosquito, so outdoor workers like farmers and their employees are most at risk. According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, about one in 150 people infected with WNV will develop severe illness. The risk is higher for those over 50 years of age. The CDC advises the following: use insect repellants and long-sleeved clothing especially during dawn/dusk hours, eliminate mosquito-breeding areas.

There are also BTI dunks, a larvaekilling tablet that can be dropped into areas of standing water (available at outdoor supply retailers).

Fellowship of Christian Farmers Editor’s comments

Many of you are aware of the recent controversy concerning remarks made

by Dan Cathy, president of Chick-fil-A. Most of the liberal news outlets have accused the restaurant chain of bigotry and intolerance because of Cathy’s stand for traditional marriage. How sad that we as Christians cannot voice our opinions. Mr. Cathy stands firm to the biblical standard of marriage, that being between a man and a woman. In Isaiah 5:20 the Bible warns against “those who call evil good and good evil.”

I bring this up because, as I travel to fairs throughout the northeast, it is becoming very evident that our beloved country is falling into a trap. A trap of sin in what is acceptable for dress, talk and yes, even lifestyles. We no longer call sin for what it is. This country is in a spiritual decline like never before. Many people want nothing to do with God and his word. Hearts and minds can only be changed by the power of God. With that said, “what are we as Christians to do?” As members of FCFI, we are reaching out in the market place.

Farm shows and especially fairs are great places to reach many who are struggling and seeking answers to life’s

problems. Through God’s love, lives are changed and renewed. This past summer, FCFI had a presence at farm shows in New York, Empire Farm Days, and in Maine, at the Maine Farm Days. We’ve also exhibited at fairs in New York, Maine and Connecticut. Over 6,500 people stopped by our tent and heard the gospel message. The best part is that 718 received Christ as their Savior.

The preaching of God’s word is the only hope in a world searching for the truth.

God changes lives.

Included in this issue of FCFI Country Folks News are reports from various leaders who have helped staff events.

Also, included is a poem written by my friend and fellow baseball umpire, Chris Sebastian. Chris was diagnosed with cancer a couple of years ago and at one time only given three months to live.

He is in remission and shares his thoughts in “A Glimpse of Heaven.”

Chris believes he received a “spiritual lift” in all that has transpired. Knowing Christ as your Savior will do that. My prayer is that you, as well, will receive such a lift!

Remember to give Him thanks, Bill Brown

Dave Sanford, Penns Creek, PA, explains the bead story at the Maine Farm Days held in Clinton, Maine Aug. 22 and 23.

Gina Gant, Marcy, NY, is shown at Empire Farm Days in August. Empire Farm Days remains the largest outdoor show in the east. Over 2000 stopped by the FCFI tent.

Nearly 200 made a commitment to accept Christ as their savior.

Large shows like Empire Farm Days in Seneca Falls, NY, require lots of help. Shown on the far left is Pastor Jeremy Stout from Bible Baptist Church of Willington, Ohio.

Ten members of the youth group worked all three days of the show. Also shown are workers from Marcy, NY, Gallupville, NY and Penns Creek, PA.

A Glimpse of Heaven

by Chris Sebastian Sr., Spring 2012 I’ve lived my life and tried to see all.

I’ve seen the seasons, Winter, Spring, Summer, and Fall.

I’ve seen the sky, the horizon stretch from end to end.

I’ve seen the birth of a child, the death of a friend.

I took it all in stride, barely gave it a second thought.

After all it’s part of life, nothing to be fought.

Then one day they said you’re sick, You need this surgery and you need it quick.

No time to think, nothing for me to see, Life had suddenly crept up on me.

I tried not to fear, not to be sad, But mostly, I tried not to be mad.

I asked the Lord to guide me through, So I could do what I needed to.

From here the story goes from 0 to 11.

Because what he granted was a Glimpse of Heaven.

What I felt was a spiritual lift.

My wife, my family, my friends, the gift, They prayed so hard to show their love, A million lights shown down from above.

And in those lights I could clearly see, A Glimpse of Heaven meant just for me.

My heart was lightened, my malady in check, The Lord said love and prayer, I will respect.

With that I’m grateful for what I’ve been given, So few are granted a Glimpse of Heaven.

To be shown on earth this kind of love, Stretches a stairway to heaven above.

If ever you get a glimpse like mine, Your heart will lighten and your strength will shine.

So knowing now what I’ve been through, To those you love, always stay true.

Connecticut Fair Report

by Roy Norman, Connecticut Representative FCFI This year we were blessed with beautiful weather for all four days of the Brooklyn Fair. The fair was held Aug. 23-26. If you remember, last year at this time, Hurrican Irene came storming up the east coast and shut the fair down early. Thursday evening was very busy with lots of folks stopping by our tent.

The beautiful fireworks display attracted many visitors to the fair. Friday was slow but gave us time to prepare sticks, etc. for the rest of the week.

Each year we are blessed with volunteers and this year we especially appre-

ciated new volunteers, Charles Douglas, Gene Gerum, Andy Wislowski, and Dave Sanford. Pastor Mitch Santelli has been a faithful partner in sharing the tasks over the many years and is truly appreciated. Without Bill Brown’s direction and coordination all of these fairs and farm shows in the northeast and southeast, none of this would be possible.

We are so thankful for all who stopped by the FCFI tent and the opportunity to share with each one the bead story. We thank the Lord for everyone who participates and who helped make this year’s show a success.

The Brooklyn Fair in Connecticut advertises as the longest running fair in the U.S. Dave Sanford from Pennsylvania and Charlie Doulas, Woodstock, CT, were busy helping fair attendees with their questions concerning FCFI.

19th Annual FCFI Fall Outreach Banquet The 19th annual Fellowship of Christian Farmers, Mohawk Valley Chapter’s Fall Outreach Banquet will be held Oct. 6, at 7 p.m. The buffet-style dinner is $14/person and will be held at Steuben Town Hall, at the corner of Rt 274 and 9458 Soule Rd Remsen, NY, 13438. The keynote speaker will be Pastor Randy Johnson, founder and president of Reality Ministries, Inc. For reservations please call 315-831-5681 or 315-829-2243 by Oct. 2.

Newborn Calf Care The breeding and calving process may be challenging for some dairy calf and heifer farmers.

Once breeding is successful, the bred female has to carry the unborn to term and calve with minimum stress to the cow and the calf. Although this seems like a straight-forward process, there are major risk factors for stillbirth and infectious disease.

Problematic calvings may result in calves developing respiratory acidosis. Left uncorrected, it may lead to the development of metabolic acidosis. This causes the calf’s blood pH to rise, which may lower the calf’s capability to absorb antibodies from colostrum.

The following steps may help your calf get passed a rough start, ensure survival and thrive.

• Clear the airway — Remove mucous from around the mouth and nose, assisting the calf to breathe. Inserting a piece of straw into the nasal cavity or pouring some cold water on the calf’s head should initiate a gasping reflex to promote respiration.

• Dry off the calf — Dry the calf with a clean, dry towel. This should be done if the dam is unable to dry her calf, or if the calf is removed immediately. Vigorous drying around the shoulders and neck encourages respiration and helps the calf to regulate its body temperature. As water evaporates, heat is removed, which can leave the calf vulnerable to chilling.

• Feed colostrum — once the calf is breathing well, colostrum should be administered.

According to DCHA Gold Standards, colostrum equaling 10 percent of body weight should be fed in the first four hours of life.

• Colostrum has several positive effects on a calf. Not only does it provide the calf with disease-fighting antibodies, but it also increases the calf’s blood volume and improves blood circulation.

• Calves from a difficult calving may need to be moved and handled with extra care.

On Aug. 29, the National Sustainable Agriculture Coalition released a Farmers’ Guide to Value-Added Producer Grant Funding. This guide is being released on the heels of the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s announcement of

$14 million in available funds for fiscal year 2012 for Value-Added Producer Grants (VAPG).

Applications for the competitive grants program are due at USDA State Rural Development offices by Oct. 15.

VAPG awards funding

to producers to help them develop farm-related businesses that add value to basic agricultural products through processing, product differentiation, commodity segregation, on-farm energy production, labeling and certification, and lo-

cal and regional food marketing.

“This program is one of the best USDA programs for boosting farm income, creating new job opportunities, and aiding rural economic renewal,” said Helen Dombalis, NSAC Policy Asso-

ciate. “We know farmers and ranchers across the country have been anxiously waiting for this year’s VAPG funding announcement and are confident that NSAC’s resource guide will be useful in assisting firsttime and seasoned appli-

cants alike.”

The Guide, available for free download online, includes clear information on new program rules and contains a step-by-step description of the application and ranking processes, with helpful hints to improve a producer’s chances of obtaining funding from the highly competitive program. It also describes the program priorities for small and medium-sized family farms, beginning farmers and ranchers, socially disadvantaged farmers and ranchers, and mid-tier value chains (regional supply networks with active farmer participation).

VAPG is a farm bill program and as such is up for renewal in the new farm bill Congress has been debating this year. To date, both the Senate-passed and House Committeepassed 2012 Farm Bills renew VAPG and both would provide it with $50 million in total new mandatory funding for the next five years.

“We applaud Congress for renewing VAPG in the new farm bill it is debating,” said Dombalis. “The funding level proposed in both bills, however, is only half of the historic VAPG funding levels. We hope that the total funding level is doubled to $100 million for the next five years in the final version of the farm bill.

That would be a surefire way to accelerate economic recovery, create long-term sustainable income streams for farmers and farming communities, and meet consumer demand for high quality agricultural products.”

AUCTION SECTION and MARKET REPORTS NMPF urges Congress to pass new farm bill at Capitol Hill rally Time running out for legislators to improve dairy farmer safety net WASHINGTON, D.C. — Members of the National Milk Producers Federation (NMPF) joined hundreds of other farmers on Capitol Hill Sept. 12 at a rally urging Congress to pass a new, five-year farm bill before current farm programs expire in less than three weeks.

NMPF is a founding member of the Farm Bill Now coalition, which brought dozens of groups and hundreds of farmers together at the steps of the U.S. Capitol.

One of them was NMPF First Vice Chairman Ken Nobis, a dairy farmer

from St. John, MI, who told those assembled that politics shouldn’t stand in the way of helping America’s farmers.

“Dairy farmers have worked with Democrats and Republicans, in the Senate and the House, to create a farm bill that saves taxpayers money, and at the same time offers dairy producers a more effective safety net when times are tough,” Nobis said. “It would be a tragic mistake, after this bill has already passed the Senate, and the House Agriculture Committee, to let it wither and die on the political vine, rather than make the necessary effort to get it passed in the coming weeks.”

Nobis reminded lawmakers that the dairy reforms included in the new farm bill will reduce government expenditures compared to current policy, which should appeal to those members of the House concerned with the deficit.

“If the question in Washington is how to re-

form government programs and make them more effective, we have an answer: pass the 2012 Farm Bill. The dairy title, along with the rest of the program, is budget-friendly. By not acting on this measure, Congress actually increases federal spending next year,” Nobis said.

There are few days left on the legislative calendar of the House of Representatives before the Congress adjourns in October. If the bill can’t be approved this fall, the path forward is murky at best. Other possible outcomes include a farm bill being passed by a lame duck session of Congress after the November elections, or a one-year extension of current farm programs.

NMPF’s Board of Directors earlier this year came out against the latter option, asserting that an extension of current policy through 2013 does dairy farmers no real good, and leaves the tough choices

NMPF from C1 about budget priorities unresolved.

NMPF President and CEO Jerry Kozak said that if Congress can’t generate the necessary effort to pass a new farm bill this year, the organization would not support an extension of current dairy programs, and instead would insist on getting the Dairy Security Act — the dairy reform bill already included in the Senate version of the Farm Bill — included in any extension package of other farm programs.

“We’ve come too far to acquiesce to another serving of the status quo. Dairy farmers need more than platitudes from Congress — we need action and leadership,” he said.

by Gary Hennip, Dairy Educator I have written from time to time on estate tax issues as they relate to landowners in Pennsylvania. Specifically I have discussed scenarios that could potentially reduce Federal Estate Taxes on local landowners who might be in the Marcellus Gas region here in the northeast.

A new tax code change in Pennsylvania recently signed into law could provide some real benefits to our local farming commu-

Let’s first be reminded of the Pennsylvania inheritance tax laws that were in effect prior to the tax code changes recently implemented: • In Pennsylvania, state inheritance taxes are imposed as a percentage of the value of a decedent’s estate trans-

Zero percent on transfers to a surviving spouse or to a parent from a child aged 21 or younger 4.5 percent on transfers to direct descendants and lineal heirs 12 percent on transfers to siblings 15 percent on transfers to other heirs, except charitable organizations, exempt institutions and government entities exempt from tax.

Here is a quick true life example of the impact the Pennsylvania inheritance tax laws had on the next generation. A local farmer that I know

very well worked almost all of his life for his uncle on his uncle’s family dairy farm. When the uncle passed away, the farm was passed down to the nephew through a will. When it came time to pay the Pennsylvania inheritance tax, the nephew, fell into Number 4, a 15 percent state inheritance tax on the value of the farm’s assets owned by the uncle. Just like many dairy farm families, the estate had very little in cash assets, but did own around 400 acres. In order to pay the Pennsylvania inheritance taxes that were due, the nephew had to sell off a good portion of the farm’s land to generate the cash that was

If the decedent’s farm was being leased to members of the family or to a partnership or corporation owned by members of the same family, (this would include parents, grandparents, brothers and sisters, aunts and great aunts, uncles and great uncles of the deceased owner, as well as all of the ancestors of the persons listed above along with their spouses), and was devoted to the business of agriculture.

Home,, Family,, Friendss & You Start your day with peanut butter (NAPSA) — If you’re looking for a better way to start the day, try some peanut butter.

This nutrient-dense food is a smart option for breakfast because it’s filling and tastes great. Two tablespoons of smooth-style peanut butter offers 8 grams of plant-based protein and more than 30 essential nutrients and phytonutrients. “Making time for breakfast and choosing a meal that has fiber, protein and good fats can play a role in maintaining a healthy diet,” said Registered Dietitian Sherry Coleman Collins. “Research shows that a balanced breakfast including fruit, whole grains and protein such as peanut butter gives you the fuel and nutrients needed to stave off hunger until lunchtime.”

Here are four easy breakfast ideas: 1. Swirl peanut butter into oatmeal.

2. Add smooth-style peanut butter into a breakfast smoothie for an easy portable meal.

3. Toast whole grain frozen waffles and top with peanut butter instead of syrup for a low-sugar start to the day.

4. Spread peanut butter on whole grain bread and top with slices of banana.

According to National Peanut Board research, 90 percent of American households contain one or more jars of peanut butter.

For a new twist, try one of the slightly indulgent gourmet chocolate peanut butters, such as those from Peanut Butter & Co. or Sunland Peanut Butter.

Flavored peanut butter is a great way to perk up a dull breakfast routine.

helping landowners plan for potential windfalls from natural gas leases and potential federal estate tax consequences.

In many cases prior to this new tax law change in Pennsylvania, the transfer of farm assets to an (LLC) or an (FLP), caused the farm owner to be responsible for paying the Pennsylvania Realty Transfer Tax. This tax is calculated at one percent of the asset value of the asset being transferred.

House Bill 761 and Act 85 now exclude from the Pennsylvania Realty Transfer Tax law any conveyance of assets from one family farming business to another type of family farming business such as a (LLC) or (FLP). In addition, House Bill 761 and Act 85 exempt the Pennsylvania Realty Transfer tax from being applied in these

types of business transactions retroactively to on or after July 1, 2010.

This could mean that several thousand dollars that had been paid out in realty transfer taxes on or after July 1, 2010 when family farming businesses formed (LLC’s) or (FLP’s) may be returned to the farm owner.

USDA announces 2012 Beginning Farmer Awards On Aug. 30, Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack announced $18 million in funding to support new farmer training and education programs at the 2012 Farm Progress Show in Boone, Iowa. These new grant awards were made available through the Beginning Farmer and Rancher Development Program (BFRDP) — a federal competitive grants program administered by USDA’s National Institute of Food and Agriculture.

BFRDP provides the training and tools that the next generation of farmers needs to be successful. The program supports financial and entrepreneurial training, risk management education, mentoring and apprenticeship programs, innovative farm transfer and transition practices, and other educational activities to assist beginning farmers and ranchers across the country. BFRDP is targeted especially to collaborative local, state, and regionally based networks and partnerships.

“The future of American agriculture depends on cultivating the next generation of farmers and ranchers,” said Juli Obudzinski, Policy Associate with the National Sustainable Agriculture Coalition. “BFRDP is the only federal program dedicated to training new farmers. Over the past four years, the program has funded a wide variety of successful initiatives to help new farmers start a career in agriculture.”

Over the past four years, BFRDP has invested over $70 million in new farmer training programs across the country, and has funded 145 projects in 46 states.

Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack stressed the importance of supporting the next generation of farmers, and has repeatedly issued a national challenge to create 100,000 new farmers.

In the first year of the program alone, USDA funded projects that supported

training for 5,000 new producers, and in 2011, grants supported training for more than 30,000. Clearly, there is still a long way to go to meet this challenge, but this program is helping to address the dire need for new farmers on the land all across the country.

Groups who work directly with beginning farmers also spoke at today’s award announcement in Iowa. Leigh Adcock, the Executive Director of the Women, Food, and Agriculture Network (WFAN) — a non-profit organization and NSAC member based in Ames, Iowa — addressed the importance of providing the next generation of farmers with the resources they need to be successful and stressed how critical BFRDP funding is to organizations that support new farmers on the ground.

“WFAN has been working with women farmers for 15 years, and we’ve witnessed an enormous surge in numbers over the past decade,” said Adcock. “We’re thrilled to be able to help new and aspiring women farmers in Iowa and Nebraska reach their farm business goals with the help of our new three-year BFRDP grant.”

2012 Awards For Fiscal Year 2012, $18 million was awarded to support projects in 27 states across the country, including projects in Alabama, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Hawaii, Iowa, Illinois, Kentucky, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Mississippi, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Mexico, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Texas, Washington and Wisconsin.

Of the 40 grants that were announced, we are pleased to announce that six were awarded to NSAC member organizations, including grants to Dakota Rural Action (South Dakota),

Food System Economic Partnership (Michigan), Future Harvest – Chesapeake Alliance for Sustainable Agriculture (Maryland; award to University of Maryland), Growing Power (Wisconsin), Land Stewardship Project (Minnesota, for work in 14 states), Women, Food and Agriculture Network (Iowa,

for work in Iowa and Nebraska).

“This BFRDP grant gives us the opportunity to both encourage new farmers and to engage current farmers in helping to shape the next generation,” said Meredith Redlin, Board Chair for

Mr. Prevor is the fourth generation of his family to be active in the food business in the United States. Prior to launching his own company, he served as a director of his family’s company, which was an importer, exporter and wholesaler of foodstuffs.

Mr. Prevor combines the real world experience of one who has worked in the trade with the analytical perspective of an editor and analyst.

“There are so many opportunities in agriculture for young farmers.

Capturing those oppor-

More information on

BRFDP awards to NSAC member organizations is available on NSAC’s website.

Future of BFRDP The new farmer grants announced Aug. 30 are the latest round of grants for this program authorized in the current farm bill cycle. Current funding for the Beginning Farmer and Rancher Development Program expires on Sept. 30 this year, and unless Congress acts on reauthorizing the farm bill or provides for a short-term extension of the current farm bill that explicitly provides for new BFRDP funding, the program could completely vanish for at least a year.

In today’s awards announcement, Secretary Vilsack stressed the need for Congress to do its work and pass a farm bill in order to give producers the certainty they need. “There’s no reason that this can’t be done,” Vilsack said. “Whatever differences exist can be worked out.”

“Given the demonstrated success and growing demand for new farmer training programs, it is critical to our future food security and vitality of our rural communities that this valuable program be renewed and provided continued funding in the next farm bill,” said Obudzinski. “With over half of our country’s farmers reaching or exceeding retirement age within the next 10 years, cutting funding for BFRDP would be a huge step backwards in addressing the urgent need for resources and tools to support the next generation of farmers and the future of American agriculture.

We urge Congress to pass the new farm bill and include robust funding for BFRDP to support the new economic opportunities that will help reform the farm and food system.”

U.S. soy trade relationships grow in September International customers meet with soy checkoff farmer-leaders to discuss U.S. soy Relationships are important to building markets for U.S. soy and the farmer-leaders of the soy checkoff recognize that importance. In fact, the United Soybean Board (USB), along with its international marketing arm, the U.S. Soybean Export Council (USSEC), will host customers from more than 20 countries in September.

“Face-to-face meetings mean a lot to businesses throughout the world,” said Marc Curtis, a soybean farmer from Leland, MS, and a

member of USB’s international marketing program. “This year, especially, it gets them out in the field to alleviate fears of not having a crop and also highlights our sustainability.”

Teams from Europe, Asia, and South and Central America will visit a wide variety of stops in multiple states. They will tour farms, export facilities, modern livestock and poultry facilities and even the Chicago Board of Trade, learning more about U.S. agriculture and, specifically, U.S. soy.

“The end goal is to increase demand for soybeans,” adds Curtis, who also serves as past chair of USB. “You increase demand by making for-

eign buyers more comfortable with the United States, the reliable supply we have and the quality of our product.”

By focusing on the

needs of the individual teams, USB and USSEC hope to continue to grow the personal relationships needed to sell U.S. soy globally and

maintain soy’s rank as one of the top U.S. agricultural exports.

Technology Tuesdays: “Dairy Systems Planning and Building” UNIVERSITY PARK, PA — Dairy producers, their employees and advisers are invited to participate in a year-long series of free online seminars aimed at increasing overall efficiency of the dairy, thereby enhancing the bottom line. Technology Tuesdays are held from 8:30 a.m. to 10 a.m. (EDT/EST), and are available to anyone with a computer and a high speed internet connection with advance registration.

The series is being sponsored by the Penn State Extension Dairy Team.

Twelve webinars are scheduled, beginning Tuesday, Sept. 11 and concluding May 14, 2013. Each one will highlight an area of the complete dairy system, and together will cover the wide range of considerations to have a successful, profitable dairy operation.

Topics, dates and presenters are: • Sept. 11: Getting a Dairy System Plan in Place. Taking the long view for planning individual needs and management style of your operation is critical to success. Focus will be on total area needed to site the dairy, group types and sizes to be housed and the impact of regulations on your plan. Presented by Dan McFarland and John Tyson, Penn State Extension engineers.

• Oct. 9: What Housing Type(s) Suit Your Needs? Integrating housing type and style with milking and animal handling is critical for an efficient dairy system plan. Topics will include freestall, tie stall and bedded pack characteristics, grouping strategies, matching parlor size, animal handling and special needs animals Presented

by Dan McFarland and John Tyson, Penn State Extension engineers.

• Nov. 20: What Manure System

Meets Your Needs? Developing manure handling, treatment and storage strategies are critical to the complete dairy system. Topics will include bedding type, methods for manure removal and storage, possible treatments systems and possible CAO/CAFO issues. Presented by Dr. Robert Graves, professor emeritus, Penn State Department of Agricultural and Biological Engineering, and Heather Smeltz, PE, Natural Resource Conservation Service agricultural engineer.

• Dec. 11: Compost Bedded Pack Barns. Learn what it takes to design and manage a successful compost bedded pack for milking cows. Topics will include area requirements, the need for aeration, and managing the composting process. Presented by Dr. Jeffrey Bewley and Dr. Joseph Taraba from the University of Kentucky.

• Jan. 8, 2013: Youngstock Housing Needs. A good youngstock raising program is essential to the continued success of any dairy operation.

the diet. There shouldn’t be more than 5 percent fat in the diet, notes Baker.

Be mindful of polyunsaturated fatty acid or PUFA levels.

Once care has been taken to maintain proper total fat levels, evaluate the source. The different compositions of fat fed impact milk fat. “Our continued use of highly unsaturated byproducts to other animals has the ability to impact the saturation level of the tallow.

As a result, the level of saturation of the fat sources at the mill you work with may have changed unbeknownst to you,” notes Baker.

Yeasts and molds Consider the level of yeast and mold that might be in the diet. Lower the amount of feed coming from the affected source; dilute it with other non-affected feedstuffs. Research is ongoing surrounding the negative impact yeast and molds have on milk fat depression.

Feed additives Take into account feed additives that could help improve milk fat levels.

“There are many pieces that make up the milk fat depression puzzle, and therefore it’s important to be aware of all the components,” said Baker.

“Awareness of all these parts and addressing them to some degree simultaneously will allow you to rapidly fix the

problem.” She explains that if you address one issue at a time it may take too long to find the cause of the milk fat depression, and as a result the herd will lose money.

“Remember, when formulating rations, it should always be top of mind to feed every cow, exactly what she needs, where she needs it, when she needs it — nothing more and nothing less,” said Baker. This approach will aid dairy farmers in capturing opportunities for improved efficiency and bottom line potential.

Master milk fat depression There is no time to waste when butterfat levels drop.

Depending upon how you’re paid for your milk — butterfat can add a significant amount to your milk check.

Looking back to 2011, butterfat averaged $2.15 per hundredweight, and that’s no small change. When milk fat levels are depressed, there is no time to waste in finding the cause and resolving the issue quickly.

Hot weather is often blamed for suppressing fat levels, but milk fat depression is actually a multifactorial problem with many moving parts, says Martha Baker, dairy nutrition specialist with Purina Animal Nutrition LLC. Whether you’re struggling with milk fat depression or want to head it off at the pass, here is a look at six key areas that can influence milk fat production.

Management Take a look at your total mixed ration (TMR). Evaluate delivery times — including nighttime feedings, feed refusals, availability of bunk space and overcrowding. Avoid slug feeding, as it can create subclinical acidosis which impacts milk fat. “Any of these issues should be addressed right away,” said Baker.

Forages and fiber in the diet Concurrently, while you are taking a closer look at management factors that influence milk fat, examine the forage

and fiber levels in the diet. Use the Penn State Shaker Box to evaluate particle length. “The goal should be to have 47 percent of the TMR in the bottom and 7 percent on top,” said Baker.

Cud chewing can also be a good indicator of forage and fiber in the diet. “Look for 50 percent or better of the pen to be chewing their cud,” she said. The percent of neutral detergent fiber digestibility (NDFD) should also be evaluated to make sure it isn’t too high.

Starch content Assess how many pounds and what percent starch is being fed. Technology like rumen degradable starch testing can help assess starch levels in the ration ingredients and how they will perform in the cow. “Different ingredients ferment faster in the rumen than others. This affects the dynamics of the rumen and can have a major impact on milk fat levels,” explained Baker.

“An awareness of the rate of starch digestion, especially in the rumen, is critical when trouble shooting milk fat depression,” she said. “Rumen degradable starch testing allows you to very quickly rule out starch as a culprit of suppressed milk fat levels.”

Fats – saturated vs. rumen inert Consider the fat level and source in

Nineteen on-farm practices that can make a BIG difference If you’re serious about managing Johne’s disease before it gains a major “in” in your herd or you want to reduce the incidence of Johne’s disease already in your herd, then these practices identified by dairy producers could be the key. According to the Michigan Dairy Review,

Michigan dairy producers who implemented these practices give them a “thumbs up” when it comes to Johne’s disease control and prevention.

Practice #1 Provide individual calving pens.

Practice #2 Remove the calf from the dam within one (1)

hour of birth Practice #3 Don’t use colostrum from Johne’s disease-infected or suspect dams — particularly for heifer calves.

Practice #4 Do not feed unpasteurized waste milk to calves.

Practice #5 Do not use the same

skid-steer or tractor bucket to feed cattle and to remove manure.

Practice #6 Separate young stock housing from adult cow housing.

Practice #7 Do not use a cattle trailer to move calves on and between farms.

Practice #8

Because young calves are extremely vulnerable to MAP, take precautions to keep them from being exposed to the bacteria.

Ear notch — permanently identify — calves born to positive dams as this easily identifies them as higher risk animals.

Practice #9 Do not spread manure on alfalfa fields in the

same season the fields will be harvested.

Practice #10 Separate bull calves from heifer calves if bull calves get colostrum or

Johne’s from C23 milk from Johne’s disease-positive cows.

Practice #11 Use separate calving pen for Johne’s diseasepositive animals and use separate equipment to clean it. Clean all calving areas as often as possible.

Practice #12 Use milk ELISA on the last DHI test before dry off, or pre-breeding, to help make more informed management decisions.

Practice #13 Implement a plan post test results. For example, examine inseminated cows by ultrasound and cull Johne’s disease positive cows if not pregnant or if carrying a bull calf.

Practice #14 Do not feed heifers waste feed from cows.

Practice #15 Hold an annual meeting on Johne’s disease control for everyone who works with the farm livestock.

More strategies Because the same manure that carries nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium may also be carrying MAP that puts dairy livestock at risk. Dr. John H. Kirk, DVM, extension veterinarian at the School of Veterinary Medicine, University of California Davis, Tulare, offers these four additional strategies to help prevent the spread of MAP: Practice #16 Ensure that manure from sick pens and adult animals flows away from the most susceptible animals on your dairy — young calves.

Practice #17 Control the turbulence of flush water to prevent it from entering any feed area.

Practice #18 Thoroughly wash boots worn by dairy workers to remove all manure and disinfect the work boots when moving from one location to another on the dairy. This is particularly important when moving from one area to a high-risk area such as to calf hutches or pens.

Practice #19 Avoid using the same equipment to handle manure and feeds.

Dairy producers should implement a Johne’s disease control and prevention program, and work with their veterinarian to conduct a Johne’s disease risk assessment and to develop a farm plan based on the

Remove the calf from the dam within one hour of birth.

Dairy workers should wash boots thoroughly when moving between locations, particularly when moving to where young animals are housed.

New York Farm Bureau demands action on 2012 Farm Bill New York Farm Bureau members attended the Farm Bill Now Rally in Washington, D.C. on Sept. 12 pushing for quick action on the 2012 Farm Bill before the current bill expires at the end of September. Already the delay has rolled back the safety net for New York’s dairy farmers and further inaction puts critical programs in jeopardy of being underfunded or scrapped altogether.

Rob Noble, a dairy farmer from Livingston County, was among the hundreds who gathered near the U.S. Capitol. He said, “I hope lawmakers here in Washington hear our concerns and work hard in the coming days to pass the Farm Bill. Dairy farms in New York are already struggling and the consequences of not passing a Farm Bill now are serious. Weaker safety nets and deeper cuts to important conservation programs will be the result if the House fails to act. After floods, droughts and challenging economic times, producing food and feeding people shouldn’t be political anymore.”

In addition, New York Farm Bureau President Dean Norton has sent a letter to each member of the New York Congressional delegation asking for their support and encouraging them to put pressure on the leaders in the House to allow it to come to the floor for a vote.

The 2012 Farm Bill has already passed the Senate and came out of the House Agriculture Committee with overwhelming bipartisan support. Failure to pass

in the next few weeks will open up the door for a one-year extension of the current Farm Bill which comes with many risks.

President Norton said in his letter, “We need farm and food policy in place

by Sept. 30, but an extension of the current Farm Bill will hurt New York agriculture. It threatens to take away all the improvements our farmers and the Agriculture Committee worked so hard to include in the bill. Reforms will be lost, improved safety nets will be delayed and uncertainty will remain for farmers attempting to recover from several poor growing years.”

President Norton’s letter further explains how an extension will almost surely lead to deeper cuts in the conservation programs that are needed in New York to comply with state and federal environmental mandates. The dairy safety net has been weakened and is not protecting our farmers during the period of high feed prices that we are currently experiencing and will last at least until the next harvest, and many of New York’s specialty crop farmers will continue to have virtually no protection from crop losses. In addition, a number of other programs benefiting important research, business development, organic farming, and farmers’ markets may be lost for good.

However, it is not just farmers who will be hurt but also low-income New Yorkers who depend on the availability

Aitchison Seedmatic Drill Only Drill Pruposely Designed For Grassland Farming

Our Drill: shaped slot 1-5/8” wide prunes competing roots. Creates soil tilth, increasing access to soil nutrients. Retains 8x more moisture and 3x more oxygen than other planting systems. Clean, smear-free, cocoon-shaped, ideal mini-seedbed, yields consistent, uniform stands.

Their Drill: The V-slot made by disc drill has frequent poor emergence due to residue pressed into V-slot with the seed, and sidewall compaction. Poor depth control=over 50% of small seeds buried too deep or on top of the ground. Performance is speed-sentive.
