2012 Central New York Farm Progress Show marks 38th year

by Elizabeth A. Tomlin Welcome to Len-Lo Farms! The place where the Central New York Farm Progress Show has been held for 24 years consecutive years.

“Before that,” said Farm Progress Show President Dick Presky, “the show was moved from farm to farm each year, but there are many benefits to staying on the same property every year.” One of those benefits is having a new Morton building to house many of the vendors and displays. Originally all of the exhibitors were all in tents.

“This whole show started out with 13 exhibits and displays,” Presky recalled.

“Now we have grown to over 110.”

Presky said that the same 15 volunteer members are on the planning committee each year and he has been president of that committee for 36 years.

“I’ve seen a lot of farms being lost over those years through State taxes,” Presky stated. “We like to try to help the farmers out.

Kristin Pronko, with the USDA Farm Service Agency agreed with that statement. Pronko was stationed at an exhibit where she gave information to attendees about services and loans offered through the Farm Service.

WASHINGTON D.C. — President of Chenango County Farm Bureau, Bradd Vickers, 5th District Promotion & Education chair Rainy CollinsVickers and other Farm Bureau members from the Southern Tier joined Agricultural leaders from across the county at the “Farm Bill Now” rally in Washington, D.C. to urge legislators to pass the Farm Bill.

The two day visit included time discussing passage of the Farm Bill with U.S. Senator Charles Schumer, Senator Gillibrand’s office and other downstate legislators and concerns over the Clean Water act expansion and year-end tax extensions.

Schumer returned from a visit to upstate New York promoting federal funding for a community anaerobic digester project which the Chenango County Farm Bureau did a feasibility study a number of years ago in Chenango County. That study looked at a centrally located anaerobic digester that would take in manure from targeted area farms and food waste from a few local businesses.

Page 3 - Section A • Let Them Know You Read COUNTRY FOLKS • September 24, 2012

Farm Bill/community anaerobic digester Schumer suggested that federal stimulus funds or grants and loans from the U.S. Department of Agriculture may be available to offset some or all of the project’s costs.

Vacuum tanker trucks would transport manure to the digester and treated waste back to the farms. Digesters reduce the manure odor, and the treated material may still be used as fertilizer.

A community digester would convert animal and food waste into biogas (methane gas) or other energy products, as beneficial to area farmers, industry and the community.

“This actually fits in with an ongoing discussion following the Yogurt Summit,” Vickers said. He went on to say this would work well on a site like Chobani to produce heat and electricity for the facility using much of the way a byproduct from making yogurt.

The down side is if the digester produces more electricity than needed on site it becomes an issue with the grid and New York’s poor net metering regulations.

The “Farm Bill Now” rally in Washington, D.C., held to to urge legislators to pass the Farm Bill, was attended by many residents from the Southern Tier of New York State, including agricultural leaders from across the Chenango County including, Chenango County Farm Bureau President Bradd Vickers and 5th District Promotion & Education chair Rainy Collins-Vickers.

by Jay Girvin, Esq. Girvin & Ferlazzo. P.C., Albany, NY Q. What special protections are available to family farmers under the Bankruptcy Code?

A. The fundamental goal of federal bankruptcy laws is to give people and businesses that can no longer pay their debts a financial “fresh start,” either by liquidating their non-exempt assets to pay their debts or by creating a repayment

plan. The end result of the process is a bankruptcy discharge, which releases debtors from personal liability from specific debts and prevents creditors from ever taking action to try to collect those debts. The most common types of bankruptcy cases are Chapter 7 (liquidation of the assets of an individual or business), Chapter 13 (repayment plan for individuals), and Chapter 11 (reorganiza-

tion of a business). Each of these types of bankruptcy proceedings is subject to various eligibility requirements and limitations.

While bankruptcy proceedings under the foregoing chapters have always been (and remain) available to individuals and businesses engaged in farming, the agricultural economic crisis of the 1980s and resulting spike in farm foreclosures led Congress to conclude that existing bankruptcy laws were unsuitable to the needs of most farmers. Accordingly, in 1987 Congress added a new “Chapter 12” to the Bankruptcy Code that specifically provided for the adjustment of the debts of a “family farmer.”

As defined under Chapter 12, a family farmer may either be an individual and/or the individual’s spouse, or

may be a corporation or partnership. To qualify, an individual or married couple must be engaged in a farming operation, must have total secured and unsecured debts of less than $3,792,650 must have at least 50 percent of those debts related to the farming operations, and have at least half of their income come from the farming operations. In addition to meeting the same debt and income requirements, a corporation or partnership must have at least 51 percent of its outstanding stock or equity owned by one family and its relatives, the family must conduct the farming operations, and at least 80 percent of its assets must be related to farming.

Like Chapter 11 and Chapter 13, a bankruptcy under Chapter 12 features a plan by which the family farmer will make certain fixed payments to creditors. For this reason, only family farmers with a “regular annual income” that is sufficiently stable and regular to enable the farmer to make payments under a Chapter 12 plan are eligible to file a petition.

A Chapter 12 proceeding is commenced by the filing of a bankruptcy petition in the local Federal bankruptcy court, along with various schedules showing the family farmer’s assets and liabilities, current income and expenditures, executory contracts and unexpired leases, and a statement of financial affairs. Once the Chapter 12 petition is filed, an impartial trustee is appointed to evaluate and administer

the case. Significantly, the filing of the bankruptcy petition triggers an “automatic stay” preventing creditors from taking most collection actions against the family farmer or his or her property.

Either at the time of the filing of the bankruptcy petition or within 90 days thereafter, the debtor must file a Chapter 12 plan of repayment. The plan, which must be approved by the Court, provides for payments by the debtor to the trustee in fixed amounts and on a regular basis.

The trustee, in turn, distributes these payments to creditors as provided for in the plan, typically paying creditors something less than full payment of their claims.

Creditors’ claims are generally divided into three categories: “priority,” “secured,” and “unsecured.”

Priority claims are those granted special status under the bankruptcy law (such as taxes) and must be repaid in full under the plan. Secured claims are those in which the creditor has been granted the right to liquidate certain collateral or other property if the debtor defaults in the repayment of a debt (such as mortgage loan) and the payments received by the creditor under the plan must be at least equal to the value of the collateral securing the underlying loan. Finally, unsecured claims are those debts for which a creditor has not been granted any rights to particular property in the event of a default (such as credit card debt). Unsecured debts need not be paid in

full under the plan, as long as the debtor commits all of his “disposable income” toward plan payments and the unsecured creditors receive at least as much as they would if the debtor’s nonexempt assets were liquidated under Chapter 7.

Chapter 12 plans typically last between three to five years. At the completion of the plan period, and assuming the debtor has made all required plan payments, the debtor will receive a discharge that effectively releases the debtor from all debts provided for in the plan.

Any family farmer considering bankruptcy should consult with experienced and knowledgeable counsel to determine whether bankruptcy is an option, and if so which chapter best meets the farmer’s needs and particular situation. In weighing the pros and cons of bankruptcy, the farmer should also consider how a bankruptcy may affect his or her ability to secure credit and loans necessary to support ongoing farming operations in the future. A bankruptcy filing will obviously be viewed negatively in a prospective lender’s assessment of the farmer’s creditworthiness and risk. On the other hand, if your financial situation has deteriorated to the point where bankruptcy has become the only viable option, chances are that your existing credit rating isn’t that good anyway. In some cases, bankruptcy may be the first step in a fresh start toward repairing that credit rating.

To the Editor: Recently there was a so-called Yogurt Summit held in Albany, NY with lawmakers and “industry” officials.

According to news reports Governor Cuomo wants to make New York the yogurt capital of the universe.

Problem is, there is a shortage of local milk. So let’s expand — problem solved! We’ll give the farmers tax breaks and reduce CAFO restrictions, etc, etc, but nowhere did I hear or read what we really need — A FAIR PRICE FOR OUR MILK!!!

On one hand the industry leaders want us to produce more milk for the yogurt plants, but on the other hand they say they can’t pay us a fair price for it because there’s too much of it. So which way is it?

Once again dairy farmers are in the midst of a severe financial crisis. Why is it that none of the candidates running for office are asked about it or ever mention it? Do farmers and the jobs they support really not matter?

Gretchen Maine, Waterville, NY

by Katie Navarra The last time JP Gannon prepared a cow for the show pen was in 1988.

Little did he know that 23 years later his grandchildren would bring him back into the world of competition.

In 2011, his grandson, John (10), expressed an interest in competing. A few Hereford cattle were purchased so that John could compete at the fair that year. His younger brothers, James (8) and Jay (6) and cousin, Lane (13), soon became interested and a few Angus cattle were purchased. Cousin, Max Lee (12), does not yet compete, but is close at hand to help wash cows, prepare for the show and pitch-in with the daily chores.

By purchasing show cattle of different breeds, JP thought he had masterminded a plan that kept his grandchildren spread across a variety of divisions preventing them from competing against one another. But as he learned at this year’s local fairs, that is nearly impossible when they all win.

James won the Supreme Champion title at the Schaghticoke Fair with Trowbridge Ebone 145. “They all competed for the All-Breed Champion,” JP explained, “James with his Grand Champion Angus Heifer, John with his Grand Champion Hereford Cow and Grand Champion Hereford Bull, shown by Lane. Even though only one

could win, it is still about a team. They all had to work together preparing.”

James’ All Breed Championship honor followed in his brother, John’s, performance at the Saratoga County Fair a few weeks earlier, where he too won the Supreme Champion title with his registered Hereford, Sunrise.

Collectively, the Gannon grandchildren earned multiple top honors with their eight show cattle at both the Saratoga and Schaghticoke Fairs.

In Schaghticoke, James and Trowbridge Ebone 145 won first place Junior Yearling Heifer and the Angus Junior Champion Female. Lane won first place Senior Yearling Heifer and also Angus Senior Champion Female with KLR Primrose 0317 and John won first place Two-year-old Cow with Nursing Calf and then also, Grand Champion Cow-Calf Hereford. He also placed first with his Intermediate Bull Calf and then won Grand Champion Bull Hereford with IMBC 147T Ella X24.

Winning at the fairs does not come easy. The boys work hard year-round to care for, feed and practice with their cattle. “They help with chores most every day,” JP said, “during the summer they were here 90 percent of the day.” It helps that John, James and Jay live on the farm next door and can ride their four-wheelers or walk to work.

J.P., Lane, John, James, Jay Thomas Gannon, and Max Lee take a break at the fair.

James Gannon and Trowbridge Ebone 145 earned 1st place junior yearling heifer and Angus Supreme Champion at the Schaghticoke Fair.

For the boys, the hard work is worth the fun they have. “It’s fun to win prizes-ribbons, trophies and cash,” John said. This was his second year competing and he has had an early taste of success. Not only did he have big wins at the Fairs, he and his grandpa hauled registered Hereford, Sunrise, to the Big E held in May in Massachusetts. There John and Sunrise stood second against 250 topnotch show cattle.

James on the other hand likes to show because he likes the cows, especially his favorite, Trowbridge Ebone 145, that he lovingly calls “Charlie”.

A love for the cattle and a passion for showing is deeply rooted in the Gannon family. The grandchildren are fifth generation 4-H members and fourth generation showmen. “Their great-great grandfather, started the first 4-H club in Saratoga County around 1929,” JP explained, “The Gannon family was originally from Willard Mountain (there is a road named Gannon Road) and my grandfa-

ther came across the river and started his own big farm on the battlefield.”

JP’s grandfather also established a store in Wilbur’s Basin exchanging rested mules and horses for those that had already walked miles along the old Champlain Canal.

Both JP and Joan grew up in farm families. JP’s father, John Gannon owned a dairy farm in Stillwater allowing JP to grow up showing dairy cattle and horses. Joan too showed horses, “it’s in our blood,” they said. It was only natural that the couple own a farm of their own. Together they purchased Parkview Farm in Stillwater in 1965 and began raising beef cattle.

Parkview Farm specializes in Angus cattle and the herd totals 150. “We also happen to have 10 Herefords,” JP explained, “because John and grandma like the Herefords.” The farm raises a mix of commercial cattle for market, show/registered cattle and hay for the horse market. “We sell some freezer beef steers, and a number of heavy and light feeders,” he said.

Grandpa JP Gannon makes sure everyone and every cow is ready just before entering the show ring.

Crop Comments

by Paris Reidhead Field Crops Consultant Tails Wagging Frogs This past April an article titled, “Weed Killer Causes Animal Shape Changes” appeared on line. Its writers, a team of U.S. biologists, stated that glyphosate, the world’s most popular weed killer, can cause morphological changes in vertebrate animals. University of Pittsburgh researchers said this weed killer, in sub-lethal (i.e., to animals, not plants), caused two species of amphibians to change their shape.

The study is the first to show that a pesticide can bring about structural changes in vertebrate animals, according to biological sciences Professor Rick Relyea in a university release last spring. Glyphosate is a systemic, broad-spectrum herbicide produced by a giant U.S.-based multinational company. In nature, presence of predators can cause tadpoles to change shape by altering the tadpoles’ stress hormones, Relyea said. This endocrine change causes them to grow bigger tails to increase their chances of escape.

But similar shape changes seen after exposure to glyphosate suggest the weed killer may interfere with the hormones of tadpoles and potentially many other animals, according to this professor. “It was not surprising to see that the smell of predators in the water induced larger tadpole tails,” Relyea said. “That is a normal, adaptive response.” What shocked these researchers was that this herbicide induced the same changes. Moreover,

(Contact: renrock46@hotmail.com)

the combination of predators and glyphosate caused the tail changes to be twice as large. Tadpoles alter their body shape to match their environment, so having a body shape that does not fit the environment puts them at a distinct disadvantage.

“This discovery highlights the fact that pesticides, which are important for crop production and human health, can have unintended consequences for species that are not the pesticide’s target,” Relyea said. “Herbicides are not designed to affect animals, but we are learning that they can have a wide range of surprising effects by altering how hormones work in the bodies of animals. This is important because amphibians not only serve as a barometer of the ecosystem’s health, but also as an indicator of potential dangers to other species in the food chain, including humans.”

Glyphosate bound to soil particles can remain active and may be released from soil and taken up by plants. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has also stated that many endangered plants may be at risk from glyphosate use in conservation areas. Glyphosate in soil takes 140 days to break down to half it’s toxicity and will continue to be taken up by plants from the soil for at least two years.

This herbicide also inhibits mycorrhizal fungi. Canadian studies have shown that as little as 1 part per million of glyphosate can reduce the

growth or colonization of mycorrhizal fungi. Mycorrhizal fungi are essential for tree health, collecting nutrients and water to feed their host plant and protecting tree roots from harmful fungi and root rot diseases. Also, this herbicide has been shown to reduce nitrogen fixation. Amounts as small as 2 parts per million have had significant effects, and effects have been measured up to 120 days after spraying.

In researching this issue further, I learned that this herbicide kills beneficial insects. Tests conducted by The International Organization for Biological Control showed that glyphosate exposure proved fatal to several beneficial species including predatory mites, lacewings, ladybugs, and predatory beetles. Everybody likes ladybugs... can’t we just leave them alone? [Across the big pond, the Brits would say “Can’t you give the bloody ladybirds a break, mite?” (that’s how they say mate.)] In Australia (where they pronounce “mate” the same way) most formulations of glyphosate have been banned from use in or near water because of their toxic effects on tadpoles and to a lesser extent on adult frogs.

There is also concern about non-lethal effects of the herbicide on frogs.

NEW YORK EMPIRE TRACTOR CORTLAND, NY 607-753-9656 CAZENOVIA, NY 315-655-8146 ATLANTA, NY 585-534-5935 BATAVIA, NY 585-343-1822 SYRACUSE, NY 315-446-5656 WATERLOO, NY 315-539-7000

Glyphosate toxicity in water has a half-life of 2-12 weeks, but remains residual for much longer periods in sediment where it binds with clay and organic matter. Researchers have proven that aquatic wetland communities can be dramatically impacted by low concentrations of pesticides (from run-off), including glyphosate. These results offer important insights for the conservation of wetland species and communities. Fish and aquatic invertebrates are more sensitive to glyphosate and its formulations. Its toxicity is increased with higher water temperatures and pH. This isn’t surprising, because most herbicides function better at pH near 7.0. I have seen several instances where a farmer grows corn a few years in a row, then plans to seed back. A soil test is performed, calling for two or three tons of lime. The lime is applied in the fall, so it can break down over the winter. As pH increases, the bound up herbicide (from earlier applications, usually atrazine) is liberated, then kills the tiny legume and/or grass seedlings the following spring.

Crop from A6 they can’t grow a longer tail (which is an extension of the backbone)… and they don’t swim anyway. A study of the most common earthworm (Aporrectodea caliginosa) found in agricultural soils in New Zealand showed that repeated applications of glyphosate significantly, and negatively, affected growth and survival of earthworms. Biweekly applications of low rates of glyphosate (1/20 of typical rates)

caused a reduction in growth, an increase in the time to maturity, and increased mortality. Glyphosate clearly is hazardous to New Zealand’s earthworms, which are in a different genus from North American earthworms.

Ours belong to genus Lumbricoides, but there’s no reason to think that they would survive this herbicide attack any better than their distant down-under cousins.

Snyder is the pioneer of rotationally-molded polyethylene ag tanks. For more than fifteen years, farmers and ag chemical dealers have been choosing Snyder for their liquid handling systems. We’ve designed, molded and sold more tanks for agricultural use than any other polyethylene tank manufacturer in North America.

Snyder rotationally molds tanks from ultra-high quality cross-linked polyolefin or tough, linear polyethylene resins for a stronger, longer lasting tank.

When you’re seriously looking into ag tanks, you’ll see the obvious weight and maintenance advantages of polyethylene and the advantages of Snyder’s rotational molding process.

HARRISBURG, PA — The Holsteins swept the supreme champion contest from among nearly 1,200 head in the 2012 Premier National Junior Show, on Monday, Sept.

17, at the All-American Dairy Show in Harrisburg.

growth in milk per cow in the second half of the year.” USDA udder counters forecast milk output to hit 199.9 billion pounds, down 100 million pounds from last month’s projection, and compares to 196.2 billion in 2011 and 192.8 billion in 2010. The 2013 forecast was unchanged at 198.9 billion. Skim-

solids imports were raised but the export forecast was unchanged.

Product prices were forecast higher for 2012 resulting in higher Class III and IV milk price forecasts. The 2012 Class III price was projected to average $16.75-$16.95 per hundredweight (cwt.), up from the $16.50-$16.70 projected

a month ago, and compares to $18.37 in 2011 and $14.41 in 2010. The 2013 average remained at $17.70-$17.70.

The butter price forecast for 2013 was reduced slightly on weaker expected demand but forecasts for other products were unchanged.

Thus, the Class II price forecast was unchanged

but the Class IV price was lowered. It is now projected to average $15.45$15.75 for 2012. That

Planting Delays Highlight Value of Crop Insurance GROVELAND, NY - Craig Phelps started using crop insurance over ten years ago, to help ensure that the family's Edgewood Farm maintained a base level of revenue in the event of a crop loss.

Based in Livingston County, Phelps grows both organically and conventionally on about 2600 acres, in a range of soils, from lighter loam to rockier, scrabbly soil, to heavier soils. They grow about a thousand acres of organic and conventional corn for grain and silage, soybeans, as well as processing vegetables, soup beans, wheat, alfalfa and grass hay for beef cattle.

Phelps feels that the yield coverage is the best fit for his farm, because it allows them to make sales with the confidence that they will be able to cover them at harvest time. He also praised the delayed and prevented planting feature of his crop insurance policies, which pays a loss on Craig Phelps of Edgewood Farm insured crops when inclement weather prevents timely planting.

"We had an extraordinarily wet spring [in 2011], I think a record amount of rainfall in April and May put together," said Phelps. "I think we didn't plant a kernel of corn until the first of June." Due to the late start, several hundred acres were not planted according to plan. A welcome feature in a wet planting season, he calls the delayed and prevented planting coverage "probably the biggest value of crop insurance."

Phelps uses enterprise units to insure his farm. "That was my main impetus to get into crop insurance," he said. In the past he had hesitated because he felt that the chance of a farm-wide crop failure was fairly low.

Insuring by enterprise units allows a farm operation that spans a wide geographic to bundle acreage separately by FSA farm number or by county for crop insurance purposes. This way, a loss in one geographic area is not offset by a high yield on acreage with more amenable growing conditions that season, and the probability of a loss payment is increased.

As a grower of diversified organic and conventional crops, Phelps appreciates some changes in the way that crop insurance treats organic crops. "We obviously get lower yields with the organic crops and that's hurt our yield history, he said. "In the last few years they've improved that, and organic corn and conventional corn are now different crops."

"I would certainly recommend crop insurance to other farmers. I think it's a very worthwhile product."

Crop insurance must be purchased from a licensed agent. Enrollment deadlines vary by crop. The enrollment deadline for most spring-planted field crop policies is March 15th of the growing year. The winter wheat and barley crop insurance enrollment deadline is September 30th. A special type of crop insurance for pasture and hay, to insure against drought, has an enrollment deadline of November 15th, 2012 for the 2013 growing year. Pasture, Rangeland, Forage (PRF) crop insurance compares rainfall in the insured period with a historical rainfall index, and pays the farmer when the rainfall is below a chosen level of protection.

You can find a crop insurance agent on the web, by going to the agent/company locator tool at www.rma.usda.gov.

To learn more about crop insurance in New York, visit the New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets Crop Insurance and Risk Management Education website at www.agriculture.ny.gov/ap/cropinsurance.html.

A video interview of Craig Phelps and other producers using crop insurance, as well as crop-specific fact sheets, are available on the website.

The 2011/12 estimated season-average corn price is $6.25 per bushel, according to the WASDE. The projected range for the 2012/13 season lowered 30 cents on both ends of the range compared to a month ago, at $7.20$8.60 per bushel.

In politics; lawmakers returned to Capitol Hill this week. One important piece of legislation to deal with is the 2012 Farm Bill. The Senate passed its version, as has the House Agriculture Committee, but the full House has yet to vote on it.

Both versions include reforms to the U.S. dairy safety net policies, including the elimination of the Milk Income Loss Contract (MILC) and the Dairy Price Support programs.

Both bills would replace them with a two pronged safety net program, one part being the Dairy Producer Margin Protection Program (DPMPP) and the second being the Dairy Market Stabilization Program (DMSP).

National Milk and more than a dozen other agricultural organizations urged Senate leaders to “refrain from supporting” any legislation

resembling the Housepassed disaster bill if such a measure is presented. Supporting such a measure would detract from the larger mission of passing a long-term 2012 Farm Bill, they said, and a public rally featuring speakers from the Senate, House, and various other farm organizations was held September 12 to lobby lawmakers to pass a Farm Bill before September 30.

In late breaking news Thursday, Dairy Profit Weekly (DPW) reported that U.S. Rep. Bruce Braley (D-Iowa) filed a bipartisan “discharge petition” which could force House floor consideration of a 2012 Farm Bill proposal. The petition was filed after House Speaker John Boehner allowed the House Ag Committee’s proposal to be reported from committee.

Immediately, Rep. Braley formally introduced his bipartisan discharge petition, signed by 38 other House members. If at least 218 House members sign the petition,

Assemblymen: Stop the hikes CATSKILL, NY — Two upstate Assemblymen joined state-wide business groups on Sept. 12 in urging the state Thruway Authority to reconsider a proposed toll hike that threatens the economy and would negatively impact families throughout New York.

Less than a day after the Authority postponed a meeting that could have led to the implementation of a crippling 45-percent increase on commercial vehicles using the state’s largest thoroughfare, Assemblymen Pete Lopez and George Amedore repeated calls to stop the proposed hike.

“The public outcry is deafening,” said Lopez.

“All of our voices are being heard. For the sake of our business community and all the families this increase would affect, we are calling on the Authority to exercise common sense and withdraw their proposal.”

Longtime critic and sponsor of several pieces of legislation that would reign in the Authority, George Amedore said the time has come for responsible action. “Just a week ago in an Assembly forum, we heard from many concerned and angry businesses who clearly outlined the devastating consequences if this proposal moves forward,” said Amedore.

“We simply can’t afford it, nor can the many great people of this state.”

The toll for a three-axle truck going from Buffalo to New York City is currently around $88. With the proposed toll hikes, that could be $127, according to the Associated Press.

Amedore wants the authority to submit any proposed hikes to the legislature 180 days prior to implementation of such increases. The senate and assembly would then have to approve the measure. He has sponsored a package of bills related to reforming the Thruway Authority, A2040, which places authority for toll increases into the hands of the legislature, while A2048 would remove the burden of the Canal Corporation from under the Thruway Authority. Prior to their passage, A3788 would initiate a commission to study the future of the Thruway Authority to determine whether the current structure is

needed or be more suitable to be dissolved and consolidated into the state Department of Transportation.

Business Council of New York State President and CEO Heather Briccetti: “The New York State Thruway Authority will directly increase the cost of doing business in New York State by imposing such a large commercial vehicle toll increase.

Such an increase will harm the state’s business environment. The characterization of the 45 percent toll increase as “modest” does not reflect the real, and very serious, economic impact that the our member companies tell us the increase will cause.”

Empire State Forest Products Association President and CEO Eric Carlson: “Rising fuel costs are having a real impact on the forest products industry.

Adding this toll increase right now will just force more independent businesses out of business.”

Food Industry Alliance of New York State Sr. VP Michael Rosen: “It will have an immediate impact on food prices.

Large supermarkets receive well over 100 truck deliveries each week. The price of fuel is already high. The toll increase will only put added pressure on food prices, particularly in upstate New York which relies heavily on the Thruway to ship and deliver product.”

National Federation of Independent Business State Director Mike Durant: “This is a clear indication that the work to “open New York for business” is far from complete. The Thruway Authority may deem this outlandish proposal as “modest”, but the reality is that this would have a damaging effect on virtu-

ally every segment of our economy. Clearly the Thruway Authority needs to explore alternative measures to get its fiscal house in order and come to grips that New York’s small businesses cannot withstand yet another cost increase in a state that already ranks as the highest in the country.”

New York State Motor Truck Association President Kendra Adams: “The Thruway Authority has mismanaged their finances for years and to make up for it, they’re asking average consumers to foot the bill through increased transportation costs. They are showing total disregard for what it will do to consumers, how it will impact communities along alternative routes and what it will do to the economy of New York.

And make no mistake, every New Yorker will foot the bill.”

Retail Council of New York State Executive VP Ted Potrikus: “This issue affects every shopper in New York State. Retailers cannot simply absorb such a huge increase and will face the choice of passing along the higher costs to shoppers, re-routing truck traffic through secondary roads, or some combination of both. “Unshackle Upstate Executive Director Brian Sampson: “The proposed toll increase is an insult to the people that live and work in Upstate New York. The New York State Thruway is already the most expensive toll road in the northeast which makes the goods we use more expensive.

Increasing tolls on 3-axle trucks vehicles will increase the cost of our groceries and fuel. Instead of raising tolls, the Thruway Authority should lower

4 More Used Diesels Just In!!!

By Judy Van Put Safety tips for trail riding The time period of early autumn, with its cooler air temperatures, crisp mornings and sunny afternoons, is considered “prime time” for trail riding. Despite the fact that you and your horse might be in great physical condition after riding in shows all summer, there are some basic safety tips you should be aware of before setting out on the trail.

Remembering that many trails are located in secluded areas, often in hilly or mountainous areas, you’ll want to spend a little practice time riding up and down steep grades or embankments, riding on unusual surfaces such as in slippery mud, sand, rocky trails or roadways with culverts, riding past cows or other livestock (many horses are afraid of cows!) and riding past mailboxes and flags. In addition, you should also work on getting your horse used to riding along

hard roadways with cars or traffic going by. And even a seasoned show horse can be reluctant to ride through chest-high grass and weeds, heavy brush or under low hanging tree branches. Be sure you know the distance and duration of the trail ride, and make sure that it is within your horse’s stage of fitness and conditioning.

The importance of riding with a properly fitting, certified ASTM safety helmet cannot be stressed enough. Time and again, accidents happen — some even before embarking on the trail. Helmets can save lives, and can prevent serious injury. Along the same lines, wear sturdy boots or shoes with a heel to prevent your foot from sliding through the stirrup. Long pants and chaps are also preferred, especially when riding in the back country.

If rain is expected, bring a rain slicker (and make sure your horse is accustomed to having you put

emergency telephone numbers and identification information can be stored in your helmet.

Ride with a buddy, and stay with your buddy. Be polite and respectful of others on the trail. Refrain from galloping past other riders who might not be up to your level of speed and confidence! And while it’s fun to talk with your buddy on the ride, make sure you are always aware of your horse and his ‘body language’.

Keep a good horselength between you and the horse in front of you; if trotting, increase your distance to two horselengths. If your horse tends to kick others, tie a red ribbon on his tail — a red ribbon is the universal warning for a ‘kicker’ — and if you are following a horse with a red ribbon, give extra room between.

Don’t let your horse move up suddenly on another horse, and keep his head away from others.

If you need to pass another horse, do so on the left, after giving the other riders ample warning, and take your time. It’s a good idea to change leaders from time to time, to enable horses to move forward and back in the line and keep them alert and obeying your direction. Be a good leader for your horse, directing him in the direction you wish to go,

Groom your horse thoroughly and apply fly repellant prior to going out on the trail. You might consider bringing along extra fly repellant with you on the trail if flies are a problem.

Photo by Judy Van Put not following his lead. Give him a rest after periods of trotting or moving at faster speeds; monitor his breathing and heart rate after going up steep hills and strenuous slopes.

When traveling up a steep slope, lean forward and move your arms up toward your horse’s neck.

You can grasp onto his mane for extra support.

Conversely, when traveling down hill, lean slightly backward, with your feet extended a bit forward ahead of the girth.

This will help your horse balance himself.

Watch for rocks, holes, roots and uneven footing.

If you encounter an object or obstacle on the trail that causes your horse to spook, you may dismount and lead him over to the object. It’s a good idea to practice mounting and dismounting from either side prior to setting out on a trail ride.

Be prepared for puddles and water crossings, and know where you are going to cross, and how deep the water is. When you come upon a water crossing, let your horse have the opportunity to drink. This can often relax a horse that is otherwise unsettled at crossing water.

On your way back, be sure to keep your horse at a walk; it’s not a good idea to let him race for home, and can result in bad habits in the future.

In addition, this cooling off period is important, especially if you need to trailer your horse home after the ride.

Once you’ve completed the trail ride, walk your horse for awhile after he’s been untacked and check to see that he has sweated evenly under the saddle pad or blanket; look for pressure points, and treat cuts, bites or any other problems that might have occurred. Offer him some water once he’s properly cooled down. You might want to notify family members that you’ve completed your ride and are on your way home. If you’ve been on an organized trail ride, remember to thank your host and any property owners who may have given permission for you to ride. If you use common sense and keep safety foremost in your mind, you will enjoy many ‘Happy Trails’.

HORSE TALES

the slicker on and take it off prior to embarking on your ride.)

In addition to being fit, your horse should be well-prepared for the trail. Before leaving your barn, check to see that your horse’s feet are evenly trimmed, and if shod, with shoes that are tight and well-fitted.

Groom him thoroughly, and check to be sure there is no debris under the saddle or blanket. It’s a good idea to use insect repellant; you may want to carry along extra fly spray or even a fly mask.

And don’t forget the sunscreen! All tack should be in good repair and working condition; check all straps, buckles, fasteners and girths for wear — you don’t want to have anything break while on the trail or far from home.

Always let someone know when you are going trail riding — where you are going, and how long before you plan to return.

If you are driving to your destination, also let someone know where the keys to your vehicle are in case of an injury. It’s a good idea to bring along a wellcharged cell phone, basic first aid kit, hoof pick, water, compass and flashlight. Carry an ID card;

Food service demand is showing added interest in cheese with most schools back in session, according to USDA’s Dairy Market News. While domestic demand is good, export interest is weaker as U.S. prices are above international prices in many cases.

Export sales are being assisted by the CWT program which announced that it accepted 11 requests for export assistance this week to sell 3.337 million pounds of cheese and 385,809 pounds of butter to customers in Asia and the Middle East. The product will be delivered through February 2013 and raised CWT’s 2012 cheese exports to 82.4 million pounds, 57.1 million pounds of butter, and 123,459 pounds of anhydrous milk fat to 34 countries.

The Daily Dairy Report (DDR) says U.S. exports of nonfat dry milk (NDM)

slowed in July, down 19 percent from July 2011 and 21 percent lower than June 2012 after adjusting for the number of days in the month.

USDA’s Foreign Agricultural Service says U.S. NDM exports for the first seven months of the year were 7 percent higher than a year earlier. July exports to Mexico, the largest importer of U.S. NDM, were down 22 percent from July 2011 and off 24 percent from the prior month. Year-to-date exports to Mexico are up 22 percent and account for 41percent of NDM exports.

Exports to China for January to July were 48 percent higher this year than in 2011, and account for 4 percent of NDM exports, according to the DDR. In general, exports to major NDM importers in Southeast Asia excluding China are lower than last year and the DDR pointed out that the U.S. appears to have lost market share to New Zealand, where milk powder exports were very strong in July. European exports have been firm all year, but the U.S. and Europe are approaching seasonal lows in NDM production.

The DDR warned that the U.S. could lose more market share in coming months as New Zealand enters peak

production and spot prices of U.S. dairy products remain higher than world prices.

Mary Ledman, editor of the DDR, addressed some revisions in several types of cheese production for the first half of 2012 by USDA in their recent Dairy Products report but particularly in Cheddar.

She reported that Cheddar output was lowered 41.2 million pounds or 2.5 percent, “a significant revision.” The reason given, she said, was that a plant reported all of their cheese as Cheddar when in fact it produced several varieties.

2012 and 2011 Cheddar production was overstated and the revision for the entire year was down 45.2 million pounds. She talks about it in her Daily

Dairy Discussion which is a free download every Friday at www.dailydairyreport.com.

Jerry Dryer also wrote about the revisions in his September 7 Dairy and Food Market Analyst. He reported that the big revision was Gouda production which was originally reported as American cheese.

“USDA’s first estimate, published in April said Gouda output in 2011 totaled 16.2 million pounds. After the revisions, output stood at 65.7 million.

Gouda production has increased dramatically in recent years because it is the cheese of choice among overseas

Conventional + Robot: still equals mastitis and slaughtered cows!

A recent article featuring prior CoPulsation™ customer David Dallam states that when switching from CoPulsation™ to a Lely robot that SCC went from under 150,000 to over 700,000 and production from 26,000 to under 20,000. If you look inside any robot you will see the same 60 year old pulsation technology in your parlor and the same meters, basically the only new technology is the robot arm. The robot simply provides the consistent milking protocols the NMC supports.

The liner pinching causing new infections and damaged quarters is the same with a robot as it is in your herd. The end result is mastitis and culled cows.

See a video of young woman reacting to the pain of a conventional liner action at www.Facebook.com/CoPulsation and understand why your cows are milking poorly.

cents, up 1.4 cents.

USDA reports that Class I demand was strong after the holiday weekend across much of the nation. Eastern milk supplies are tight with Florida importing 72 loads the first week of September. Hurricane Isaac caused some temporary transportation problems with handlers in the Southeast.

Midwest manufacturing milk supplies were aided by the long holiday weekend as some plants took the weekend off and others worked extra shifts to increase inventories.

California milk production is trending slightly higher as temperatures have moderated. Processors are handling current supplies with relative ease. New Mexico milk output is flat and tracking below year ago levels. Milk production in the Northwest is slowing following seasonal patterns. Milk handlers are balancing supplies within the region. Cream demand is increasing as Class II plants go back to full production.

Checking the price front, California’s October Class I milk price was announced by the California Department of Food and Agriculture at $20.55 per cwt. for the north and $20.82 for the south. Both are up $1.21 from September but 95 cents below October 2011.

The 2012 Class I price average now stands at $18.25 for the north, down from $20.72 at this time a year ago but compares to $16.66 in 2010. The southern average now stands at $18.52, down from $20.99 a year ago and compares to $16.93 in 2010. The

Federal order Class I price is announced September 19.

One quick update from last week’s story about legal action being filed against the California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA) over the state’s Class 4b milk pricing; Ag Secretary Karen Ross issued a statement deferring to its plan to assemble a “Dairy Future Task Force.”

She said “Dairy producers, processors and cooperatives are being asked to come together as a coalition to make recommendations for changes to the pricing structure, so that there is longterm stability in the industry and California may maintain its status as a world leader in dairy production well into the future.” Details are available at CDFA’s website blog.

Grape production would be down A field representative for a large grape juice coop told us that grape production would be down considerably in some varieties. A nearby apple grower stated that his apple yield is approximately one-third of a normal crop, and that was before hail hit what was left. But prices for juice apples are almost as high as picked-forstorage apples. He fig-

ures he might end up with the same income as a normal crop, with the picking cost considerably less.

Our black walnuts are still around. It scares me to death when nuts fall on the metal roof of the old smokehouse. There does not seem to be as many this year and most of those are way up in the treetops. They are dropping down into my world with a big bang!

All our ponds are dry

2950, after 25 years, was put to rest after it caught on fire the other evening.

It was stored in the shop and was still hooked up to the baler when it ignited. Fortunately, because of quick action by our local fire department, only the tractor was totaled.

There was also damage to the shop’s roof and only minor damage to the bailer, thank God! I had already gone to bed but heard some noise out where it was stored. My husband had made a quick trip

out to check the barns before retiring as he has for the last 50 years. Shortly after, he came running in to tell me that there was a fire in the shop, and he had already called 911.

Then he hurried back out. I made my way downstairs and out the back door. The firemen were coming by then, so I sat on the porch steps and watched all the activity. It was a fire all right; the blaze looked big, but it was primarily contained to the trac-

tor. The firemen soon had it under control and then put out.

My husband took the initiative and moved other machinery out of the way of the fire before the firemen arrived. Thankyou, W.C., I didn’t know how much was at stake, not that I didn’t pray for you. It could have been far worse if not for his quick actions.

I waited patiently for the LORD; He turned to me and heard my cry.

(Psalm 40:1) NIV

The green scum over the top is solid algae! Lots of deer and other wildlife come out of the woods looking for a drink. Luckily, they find it there.

The robins are gone — I guess they know the weather better than we do. Seed catalogs, including the field corn literature, are arriving daily, but it’s difficult to buy now when you haven’t harvested this year’s crop.

Rensselaer County’s Annual 4-H Livestock Auction Rensselaer County 4-H held their annual livestock auction on Monday, Sept. 3, at the Schaghticoke Fair. In all, 16 head were sold by 11 youth. The animals sold represent an animal project that the youth have worked on over the past year. The project encourages participants to raise a high quality animal for milk or meat,

follow ethical standards in animal care and representation, foster entrepreneurial spirit, increase communication skills, and increase fiscal responsibility.

The auction was once again sponsored by some fine local businesses and organizations that include: • The Hudson River Tractor Company, LLC

in Schaghticoke • Rensselaer County Farm Bureau • Wiley Brothers, Inc. in Schaghticoke • The Farm at Kristy’s Barn of Castleton • The Schaghticoke Fair And our great auctioneer Glenn McLenithan from Cambridge Valley Livestock Market in Cambridge. We would

4-H Paper Clover Campaign supports Oneida County 4-H Youth at local TSC stores National 4-H Council announced the launch of the fall 2012 4-H Paper Clover Campaign in partnership with Tractor Supply Company (TSC).

This event marks two years of collaboration between the organizations on the national in-store fundraiser, benefiting state and local 4 H programming in each of the communities where a TSC or Del’s Farm and Feed Supply store is located.

The fall 2012 4-H Paper Clover Campaign is taking place Sept. 1930. Shoppers at the Utica and Rome TSC stores will have the opportunity to support 4-H in Oneida County by purchasing paper clovers for a $1 or more at checkout. All funds

raised will be donated to 4-H, and will support 4H youth development program activities in Oneida County.

“Through this highly impactful community event, we have been able to raise funds nationally over the past few years for thousands of 4-H youth across the country,” said Donald T. Floyd Jr., president and CEO of National 4-H Council. “We are more than pleased with the success of the 4-H Paper Clover Campaign, and we are even more honored to continue the tremendous partnership that drives support for 4H clubs and programs in the communities of more than 1,000 Tractor Supply Company and

Del’s Feed and Farm Supply stores.”

In just two years, the TSC 4-H Paper Clover Campaign has provided more than $1 million to 4-H across the country, with 70 percent of the funds returning to state and local 4-H programs.

The effort has provided direct support for local camps, after-school programs and other activities, and has granted scholarships to these events that youth can explore their interests in everything from animal science to robotics.

“Our Paper Clover efforts are one of the key ways our stores can give back to the community,” said John Wendler, senior vice president of Marketing for Tractor

Inspired ideas to change up your chicken dishes (Family Features) — Chicken is one of America’s favorite foods, so much so that every American ate an average of 84 pounds last year. Although it’s a great go-to ingredient for a family dinner, it’s easy to get tired of the same old chicken recipes. To help combat chicken fatigue, Hellmann’s® mayonnaise has teamed up with Chef Tim Love to launch the “Chicken Change-Up,” offering simple and family-friendly recipe ideas, tips and tricks to help inspire parents when preparing the nightly meal.

“Chicken dishes are a staple in my household,” says celebrity chef, dad and author Tim Love. “I’m always looking for inspiration to create different types of chicken recipes and - no matter the dish - Hellmann’s® Real Mayonnaise made with simple ingredients like oil, vinegar and 30 percent cage-free eggs, is my secret for keeping chicken juicy and crispy.”

Whatever your dinnertime challenge, with recipes such as Parmesan Crusted Chicken and Baked Buffalo Chicken, Hellmann’s® can transform your chicken into a juicier, crispier, more delicious meal that the whole family will love.

Section B - Page 10 September 24, 2012 • Let Them Know You Read COUNTRY FOLKS •

Things to keep in mind before and during corn silage harvest • On warm, dry, breezy fall days, whole plant moisture can drop up to two percent per day. If you have not done so already, check the maturity and moisture level of your corn. Aim to harvest within the 30-35 percent dry-matter window.

• If you have a bumper crop, consider chopping higher for a higher energy corn silage that can help you reduce your feed bill.

• Depending on whether you have a kernel processor, keeping the theoretical length of cut between 3/8 inches (without processing) and 3/4 inches (with processing).

• Keep in mind all the ways “shrink” happens on the farm and take steps to minimize losses.

• When packing, don’t hurry, and make sure you have enough tractor weight to get the job done well: total tractor weight (for all continuously packing tractors) divided by 800 equals the number of wet tons you can pack per hour.

• Oxygen exclusion will be maximized when: plastic is thicker; multiple layers are used; an oxygen barrier is included; and if the covering is adequately weighed down (tires should be touching).

Once the seeds are in

the ground, your theoretical yield maximum is established. Good decisions (weed control, N rates, etc.) will keep you nearer that theoretical maximum level. The same can be said about corn silage quality: once the corn is at the proper moisture for harvest, the quality maximum is established and it only goes down from there.

Further, once it is in storage, there is a theoretical maximum quantity and quality that will actually enter the digestive tract of your animals, and many places for it to be lost. As with most things, it is the little things that add up to

make a big difference: poor silage-making and silo management practices can cause losses of 40 percent between the field and the digestive tract of your cows. Here are some things you can do to reduce losses on your farm: Start on time: We often think of whole plant corn silage drying down at a rate of 1/2 percent per day; on warm, dry, breezy fall (or late summer) days, whole plant moisture can actually decrease by 2 percent per day, and the optimal point to begin harvest can sneak up on us. This is particularly likely after a hot summer. Silage

made from over-mature corn affects quality in several ways that combine in various ways to harm your bottom line: higher fiber, lower digestibility, more shrink (difficult to pack, more oxygen entrapment and

spoilage). For bunker silos, harvesting the corn when it is 30 — 35 percent dry matter will maximize the opportunity for attaining a packing density of 15 lb/ft3 or more.

Cutting height: This obviously does not per-

tain to shrink, but needs to be mentioned (again).

Corn prices are at record high levels. You could offset some of that cost by chopping your corn higher than usual. That will obviously result in a

lower total yield, but many farmers in some parts of the Northeast have the best corn crop that they have ever had, so the loss could be sustainable in some cases.

The choice may be between chopping higher to improve quality and re-

ducing your grain bill, or chopping low and having enough corn silage to sell. Depending on where you are, selling corn silage may not be as easy as it is in some years.

Keep in mind that when you sell corn silage, you are moving nutrients off

the farm.

Understand “shrink”: If a couple of cucumbers spoil in the refrigerator once in a while, nobody gets too upset. If 40 percent+ of the food is lost or spoiled, the household managers tend to get excited. Brian Holmes, a

University of Wisconsin Extension agricultural engineer demonstrates that even under ‘good management’ 18 percent of the harvestable corn silage in your field never makes it into the digestive tract of an animal.

Under “not so good management” almost 29 percent will never make it into an animal. Using a spreadsheet (see references below), Holmes neatly demonstrates that on an 85 cow dairy, the difference between 19 and 29 percent loss amounts to almost $17,000/year! Sources of loss include harvest, filling, storage, storage feed-out, and feeding practices.

Chopping length and kernel processing: Fermentation is an anaerobic process. The more air space you have among particles in the silo, the more spoilage you can expect. Crop processors allow kernel-cracking to take place without having a suboptimal theoretical length of cut (TLC). Without a crop processor, a 3/8 inches TLC is necessary to adequately damage the kernel to optimize starch utilization in the system.

With crop processors, the TLC can be increased without affecting starch digestibility; while increased fiber length improves rumen health, having a TLC longer than 3/4 inch makes achieving an optimal packing density more difficult. Kernel processing improves starch utilization and reduces cob fragment size to prevent sorting during feeding.

Limin Kung, Jr., a noted silage expert from University of Delaware, suggests that processing is adequate if 90-95 percent of kernels are cracked or crushed (70 percent less

Harvest from B11 than 1/4 kernel size) and if the cobs are in at least 8 pieces.

Packing: Chopped corn often shows up at the bunker faster than we think. Packing layers should be less than six inches thick to prevent excessive trapping of oxygen. A University of Wisconsin formula suggests that the number of wet tons of silage a continuously packing tractor can adequately pack can be determined by dividing the weight of the packing tractor by 800. If packing is your bottleneck, it is better to add weights to the tractor, add another tractor, or slow the chopper down rather than to inadequately pack the material going into the bunker silo. Keep this in

mind if you are using custom harvesters who may be able to harvest much faster than you can pack.

Covering to Exclude Oxygen: Some farmers do not cover their bunker silos, others plant rye on top, thinking that will help somehow. Inadequate oxygen exclusion from the top can lead to storage losses over 30 percent!

White plastic is better than black (lower temperature), thicker (8 mil) is better than thin plastic (4 mil), two layers are better than one, and including oxygen-barrier plastic is ideal. The covering will not function as intended unless it is weighted down adequately. A well-weighted cover that includes an oxygen barrier may have as little as 1-

store, but they are a concern for our landfills. I know that plastic does not disintegrate. What happens to all of those bags that go to the landfill? Many of the stores have recycling centers of their own but that means that you have to take the bags back. It also means

that you have to purchase a product to use for the garbage.

On the farm we recycle what we can. The garbage scraps go into the compost pile. Cans are crushed as are cardboard boxes that we bring home full of product. There is no place for

plastic bags. I have some cloth bags, but I only use them part of the time because when I shop for groceries I get quite a few. It is too cumbersome to carry that many bags.

Brown bags had a very humble beginning. In fact, it should be noted that they were a Penn-

sylvania invention. A man who worked in his father’s store in Nazareth, PA, saw a need and filled it. A patent was issued to Francis Wolle in 1852 for a paper bag making machine.

Wolle and his brother started the Union Paper Bag Machine Co. Im-

provements to the brown paper bag were made in the 1870s. At that point they added the glued bottom and gusset design, the type that is still around today.

A patent infringement suit came about as another bag company produced the square bottomed

bags. The Columbia Bag Co. was led by Margaret Knight. Her opponent in the case reasoned the “since she was a woman she could not possibly understand the complex working of the machine.”

They were messing with the wrong lady. Ms. Knight had kept copious notes. When her diary went to court there was enough information to rule in her favor.

Most of us grew up with the supermarkets. I do recall neighborhood grocery stores, but we went to those only when we needed just a few things or when we did not feel like going all the way to the grocery store.

The supermarket boom in the 1930s led to the increase in production of paper grocery bags. Few inventions were more functional than the paper bag. There were 40 billion bags produced annually. It was documented that the Union Bag and Paper Co. used over a million cords of southern pine annually employing more than 500 workers in the main plant.

Americans were at work making a product from a renewable resource that was nature friendly. Today I venture to say that the majority of our bags are produced outside of the United States using foreign labor. Are we recycling the plastic to make the bags?

Are we keeping the product out of the landfills?

I not only used the old type paper bags to line wastebaskets, I used them to drain fried foods and to create art projects. When I taught kindergarten we used old paper grocery bags to create Indian buckskin jackets. The kids loved them. After we used them in school they proudly took them home to have many more hours of fun at home.

Last year when I visited my grandson’s art class I saw another use for the paper bags. The art teacher painted the bags with modge-podge to create envelopes to house art projects. The treated surface was quite durable. I used that technique to create art projects for our Sunday school class. The children enjoyed decorating the bags and painting

Hickory from B15 them with modge-podge.

I know there are people who cut the plastic bags and use them to knit purses and bags. More power to them.

With all of the plastic that is used these days the knitters can cut and knit for a good long time.

It was in the 1970s the plastic bag came on the scene. I even have a couple of plastic handles that hook through the bags to making carrying them easier. One of the local banks gave them away at the fair.

The paper bag era lasted more than a century but you will not find their remains among the garbage that is produced annually. Paper bags returned to the earth when moisture decomposed them.

I leave it up to you to decide if we are better off today than we were before the invention of the plastic bag.
