Precision Agriculture
by Steve Wagner A cluster of people — the curious, the meticulous, those who were ‘just wondering’ and, of course, farmers — gathered on the edge of the field at Penn State’s Research Station in Landisville, Lancaster County PA. A PSU Extension Educator, agronomist Jeff Graybill, is preparing a test flight of a drone, one that is fashioned to look like a child’s model plane of advanced design. The mainstream news media is used to talking about much larger drone aircraft that are instrumental in political assassination or the tracking of specific persons or movements of people. But the function of this particular drone, purchased by Graybill with grant money, is to give farmers another tool with which to improve crop maintenance. From the air, photographs can zero in on specific tracts of land, even footage or inches if necessary. Graybill monitors on an iPad the images recorded by the drone, also known as a Quadricopter. This little fellow can operate from a height of 400 feet. If it exceeds that height, the FAA can step in and begin to regulate its use. It also has a radial range of about 1000 feet. Very recently, a Lancaster County township passed a single sentence ordinance that a person may not fly even a hobby airplane or helicopter in their township over a neighbor’s property unless that neighbor grants permission. Flight itself has not been banned. There is a school of thought which maintains that the ordinance is clearly aimed at drones because model planes have been around forever. The drone demonstration, part of the Farming for Success 2013 seminar, was hosted by the Extension but it is not the only tool in the box. “GPS can be very intimidating,” says Binkley & Hurst GPS Guidance Specialist David Shaw. “We do try to work with a lot of growers. This can become a very important management tool. It is nice to have the light bars, it is nice to have steering, and it is nice to have clutches. The goal is to make you money. To make money you have to have information. To have information you need some way to collect it.
“Satellites beaming down information into your tractor cab,” Shaw explained, describing how you get GPS information. “There’s a constellation of satellites up in the stars,” known as the GPS Constellation. “There’s also a Russian constellation known as Glonass. We can use some of their satellites to fill in where GPS might drop off a little bit with coverage on the North American side of things. Satellites are always moving, always going around the earth in their orbits. In this area, we use what’s called the WASS 138, a satellite that sits over the equator and keeps track of what’s happening on the east coast. My goal is to have you guys have the GPS running and working for you and earning money for you as many months of the year as possible. “A lot of people are running into regulations as far as run-off situations on their farms; they’re trying to manage nutrients, track nutrients, what they put where, and why. It can be really annoying to have some guy in a suit and a government car running around your farm, asking ‘what did you do here? And there? Do you have any records, any paperwork to back this up? Is there anything on a computer I can look at?’ Are you prepared? Do you have any system in place to give them answers that they need?” “When we talk about GPS,” says Ken Diller, Sales & Finance Manager of Hoober Equipment, Intercourse PA, “we talk about latitude, longitude and altitude. But there also has to be a correction source. Basically, there are three correction sources you can look at. WASS is a source supplied to you by the federal government. It is free to you. GPS is good for certain things, but as you start moving up the scale and expecting it to do more and more, that is when you have to begin looking at different levels of corrections. “You are all centered in the Chesapeake Bay basin. One of the continuing issues we hear about the bay is nutrient management; how we control manure and how do we know how much we’re putting on at a certain spot? With the technology we have now, we can not only map where we’re

putting down fertilizer but we can also say ‘I know how much I’ve put down on a given number of acres’.” Real time fertilizer placement is a relatively new concept that has not yet been widely adopted. Taking corn as an example, says Diller, most people are still side-dressing corn. “When you stand back and look at that field with the naked eye,” says
Diller, “you would have said there is absolutely no difference in that field; it is all exactly the same. But when you run a sensor over the top of it, now you can begin to see the differences in the crop throughout that field. Light reflected back to that meter gives it a gauge of three different things. It measures the chlorophyll level. It also measures crop mass.”

By working with the Recycling Agricultural Plastics Project this season, Chenango County has successfully recycled 4,000 pounds of plastic that would otherwise have been sent to the landfill. Since February RAPP and CCE have been encouraging farms that wish to participate to put “plastics
best management practices” into action. So far only 10 farms in the county are actively participating, but others can join by following a few basic BMPs: keep plastic as clean and dry as possible, shake out pebbles and clumps of soils, and then roll or fold the plastic into pillow-sized bundles.

The Recycling Agricultural Plastics Project can help recycle feed bags, bunker cover, boat wrap, bale wrap, and many other agricultural plastics.
From corporate executive to farmer by Katie Navarra Prior to 2001, Dan Gibson, co-owner of Grazin’ Angus Acres was an executive at Starwood Hotels and Resorts. After 9/11 Dan and Keith Gibson purchased 450 acres in Ghent, NY to raise registered Black Angus cattle. The cattle were raised to a point and then sold to farms across the United States for finishing. “(It was a) big change,” he said. To help with the transition, Dan and Keith asked the Stark family, who had worked on the farm for years to stay on as partners to assist the Gibsons with their new venture. A few years after starting the business, the Gibsons were visited by friends with two children. Both children are autistic and the parents believed the autism was either caused by, or at least exacerbated by, food allergies. “Our friends explained that if we could guarantee that a particular steer on the farm was exclusively grassfed, their family would not just purchase it — they’d really appreciate it,” Dan said. Encouraged by their friends, Dan and Keith sought more information about grassfed-raised livestock. Fast Food Nation by Eric Schlosser, and Real Food by Nina Planck, among others provided scientific studies supporting the health benefits of strictly grassfed livestock. “Cattle were meant to eat grass and people were meant to eat cattle... and we learned that when you mess with that, when you feed cattle corn, there’s a major price to pay in terms of human health,” Dan said. Inspired to offer a solution to their friends and others interested in strictly
grassfed livestock, Dan and Keith committed the farm to raising their beef cattle, dairy cows, pork and poultry on grass and grass alone. The 200 head of beef cattle, which includes 70 cows, three years of offspring, 16 Jersey cows for milking, pork, chicken and eggs graze on 450 acres the Gibson own, and an additional 500 acres are leased for stored grasses. “Our cattle move every day to fresh grass,” he explained, “we keep their pasture size just big enough that they either eat or trample everything in a 24-hour period and then move them so the grass can recover.” Three days after the cows relocate to a new pasture, the chickens take over. “Just as the fly larvae are about to emerge from the deposited patties, we move the Egg Mobiles in,” he said, “the laying hens get some organic grain in the morning and then they are expected to work for a living scratching the patties to eat the larvae.” The animals work together to control the fly population, distribute manure evenly across the land and provide organic fertilizer. “And as a wonderful side benefit we get great tasting eggs with bright orange yolks since the chickens are always out on grass.” The transition away from feeding grain to completely grassfed livestock takes time, but in the Gibsons’ opinion, the investment is worth it. It can take nearly three years to finish a steer on grass and grass alone compared to a steer finished in 12 to 15 months on grain. “In my view the only sustainable way to raise cattle is on pasture exclusively,” he concluded.
Plastic that is going to be recycled should be stored on a pallet, out of the mud and gravel, with different colors and types separated. The Big Foot Baler, which was seen at Chenango County’s Dairy Day, is able to make a 1,000 pound bale of plastic bale wrap in about a half hour under ideal conditions. On Monday, June 17, the baler went mobile and visited three additional farms that worked together with other local farms to create bales at their sites. The idea is to create a bale that is fairly clean, dry and approximately 1,000 pounds with the dimensions of about a three and a half foot cube. The bales are then stored on farm until they are transported to a recycling facility
where they are made into sidewalk pavers, plastic plywood or oil. RAPP is just gaining momentum and would love to see more farms participate. With over 30,000 pounds of plastic being delivered into the county for agricultural purposes it is great to see some of it recycled. It is important to do what works for your farm. RAPP can help recycle feed bags, bunker cover, boat wrap, bale wrap, and many other agricultural plastics.

Officers elected at Mohawk Valley FFA’s Annual Banquet
by Elizabeth A. Tomlin Nearly 70 members and guests attended the Mohawk Valley FFA’s 75th Annual Banquet, which was held on June 14 at the OppenheimEphratah School. Retiring Chapter President Kaitlyn Isaac, who has been recently installed as District 5 President in May, welcomed the guests and addressed her colleagues. “2012-2013 MVFFA officer team, it was such an honor to serve as president this past year,” Isaac commented. “I can’t believe how quick the time passed but I just wanted to say I’m so glad I had all of you with me. I wouldn’t have wanted it any other way.” Liam Sammons and Aiden Eggleston presented the flags while the National Anthem was played. Guests included keynote speaker New York State FFA Sentinel, Kaylin Broadwell, who spoke about her experiences with FFA, and Canajoharie FFA alumni, Bill Jones. Jones awarded Liam Sammons with the Most Outstanding Young Member Trophy for the work he had contributed to the Chapter over the past year. Isaac, Aiden Eggleston, Kyle Hayes and Ashley Chapman presented annual reports and summaries.
Accomplishments of the members were recognized with the awarding of FFA Degrees. Discovery Degrees were presented by Dustin Viccarelli, while Robert Christman handed out Greenhand Degrees and Liam Sammons presented Chapter Degrees. Chapter Advisor Chris Smith shared short stories about the retiring officers and presented each of them with a small gift. New officers were installed with Liam Sammons as Secretary, Ashley Chapman as Treasurer, Robert Christman as Vice President, and Stephanie Arndt as President. “I have many plans for the chapter this upcoming year,” said Arndt. “I would like to get the community more involved and expand our small chapter as much as possible. With the cooperation of our current members and the help of my fellow officers, I believe that we can prove to people what FFA is really about.” “The FFA is a great organization,” Christman agreed. “Through this organization you can learn many leadership skills. It helps kids prepare to work in the Ag field by helping them learn animal science, agricultural mechanics and Ag business management through hands-on experiences.”

Thoughts on the failure of the House Farm Bill: On Thursday, June 20th, the U.S. House of Representatives voted on the House version of the 2013 Farm Bill, HR-1947. It received a solid trouncing, going down in defeat, 195 to 234. Obviously, the House leadership is challenged with a House majority that defies being led, compounded by an inherent inability to build consensus. Perhaps a dose of cluelessness, too: both Speaker John Boehner, (ROH) and Ranking Member of the House Ag Committee, Collin Peterson, (D-MN) were convinced they had the necessary votes for passage of HR1947 until the vote was actually underway. Both were blindsided by botched vote estimates, then stunned and dismayed watching the best chance for a much anticipated 2013 Farm Bill go down the pipe! Big question is now whether they will tweak HR-1947, try to rally support, (if that is even possible) and run it through again, or just re-up the currently extended 2008 Farm Bill when it expires on Sept. 30th. Currently, all
concerned are licking wounds and crafting poisonous rhetoric to hurl at each other. Sadly, in the U.S. House, this is now what passes as business as usual, after a major legislative failure. Before the debate on HR-1947 began, Peterson prophesied the 2013 Farm Bill would likely be the last of its kind; given current realities, the 2008 Bill will probably be elevated to that dubious distinction. It appears the urban-rural, bi-partisan coalition that scratched each others’ backs to mutual benefit on food stamp and farm policy issues for several decades has come unravelled. That the case, for better or worse, consensus on comprehensive national farm legislation may now be out of reach in the U.S. House — simply a thing of the past... Small family farm dairymen should lose little sleep over all this, since HR1947’s dairy provision, The Dairy Security Act, was flawed, weighted heavily in favor of large factory style dairy operations and inappropriate. The nation’s dairymen need a stable, fairly calculated price for their milk, not a Federally subsidized dairy

margin insurance boondoggle that, at best, will merely cover losses. No matter what dairy margin insurance schemes are served-up by the National Milk Producers Federation, the lobby serving the executives of the nation’s large dairy co-operatives, and foisted off as solutions on Congress, none are of any real value for dairy farmers. The Dairy Security Act didn’t address and reform the underlying root of the problem; the flawed USDA Milk Price Formula. The current USDA Milk Price Formula relies on data collected on cheese transactions conducted on the floor of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange. There, less than 1 percent of U.S. milk production, prices the remaining +99 percent in a process that is routinely manipulated to advantage by major milk buyers. While U.S. milk processors should have some say in what they pay for milk, they should not have total say. Since the beginning days of the Reagan Administration, U.S. dairy farmers have been systematically short changed on the value of the milk their cows produce. Before Reagan, when a consumer spent a dollar on dairy products, $.53 of that dollar went to the farmer who supplied the milk; currently the farmer receives about $.25 of that same dairy food dollar, albeit proportionately, it does not cost any more to process or retail dairy products.
If U.S. dairy farmers had a fair, transparent Federal Milk Price Formula, using information direct from the marketplace, indexed for current cost of production and reflecting prices paid by consumers, it would be better for all concerned. The proper role of the Federal Government could then be as a referee, strictly enforcing carefully crafted rules designed to maintain a level playing field for price discovery for both farmers and processors. The nutritional value of dairy products to the diet of this nation’s poorest citizens is essential and inestimable. It is grossly unfair that U.S. dairy farm families are expected to labor at below minimum wage, for often no wage at all, just to keep dairy product prices low in U.S. supermarkets. Nor should taxpayer money have to subsidize the consumption of U.S. dairy products. American consumers pay enough for dairy products. The money is in the marketplace; it simply needs to be redistributed to fairly reflect the monumental contribution of U.S. dairy farmers to the nation’s nutritional well being. Supplying economically priced dairy products to this nation’s poor should call for equal effort from all, not just be arbitrarily and unfairly placed on the backs of the nation’s dairy farmers, while dairy processors and grocery retailers hold hands and giggle all the way to the bank... Nate Wilson, Sinclairville, NY
Dear Editor, Dairy farmers across the nation are once again left without effective farm bill legislation. Another year of hard work by dairy farm groups to develop and promote their policy ideas has been ignored by Congress. There can be no excuse for the way Congress is treating our nation’s dairy farmers. I wonder how much longer dairy farmers will put their trust in Washington to address their pricing problems. We seem to be caught between a rock and a hard place. We have a do-nothing Congress on one hand and giant
foreign-owned processors on the other. The good news is that we don’t need to depend on either one as much as we have in the past. Dairy farmers acting together in the market can gain the prices they need to cover their costs and make a reasonable profit. Dairy farmers own the milk first. This is their biggest advantage in the marketplace. Now, more than ever, all dairy farmers must use their legal rights to work together and fairly price milk at the farm level. Brad Rach, National Dairy Director, National Farmers Organization
Dear Editor, Who really needs who? One may ask this question. If all the U.S. Senators and Congressmen were to take a one year vacation, what would the consequences be? Some may say that the country may be better off, less damage! Life would go on. What would happen if every Farmer (dairy; grain; livestock; orchard, veg., etc.) in this country took a one year
vacation, there would be mass starvation in this country and throughout the world! For one thing you can bet on, the U.S. Senators and Congressmen, would not even be able to feed themselves. So we go back to the original question. Do the Farmers need the Politicians or do the Politicians need the Farmers? Thank you, Rich Steixner, Westmoreland, NY
PA State budget for ag programs CAMP HILL, PA — Pennsylvania Farm Bureau says the new state budget approved by the General Assembly and signed by Governor Corbett maintains spending for vital agriculture programs and provides modest increases for other key programs. “Overall, Pennsylvania farmers believe agriculture programs were treated fairly in the budget, increasing funding for several key programs, including agriculture research and Cooperative Extension administered by Penn State University,” said PFB President Carl T. Shaffer. “The Animal Health Commission, agriculture excellence programs and county fairs will also be
funded at a higher level.” The state budget restores funding to last year’s levels for other agriculture programs, such as agriculture research administered by the Department of Agriculture and agricultural promotion, education and exports, while maintaining funding to the Nutrient Management Fund. “Agriculture programs are sound investments that help farmers implement conservation practices, increase efficiency and bring consumers face to face with those who grow our food at local venues all across the state. These investments help preserve agriculture as Pennsylvania’s leading industry,” concluded Shaffer.
“Today’s (June 27) passage of comprehensive immigration reform is a major milestone for New York’s farmers. It addresses critical short and long term needs that will better provide a stable workforce on our farms. Those needs include allowing employees who are already skilled and working in this state to stay here and eventually obtain legal status. It’s gratifying to see the hard work New York Farm Bureau has demonstrated on behalf of our farm families result in real movement on this issue for the first time in years. Currently, our farms face serious
challenges in hiring the amount of workers required to plant and harvest the crops and milk the cows. While they always look locally, farmers often turn to migrant workers who are willing to perform jobs that Americans choose not to take. Also, there is a fear that if workers have fraudulent documentation, the employees could be detained and deported at a moment’s notice. Losing that productivity can place the future of the family farm in jeopardy if the food is literally left to rot in the fields.That too puts our local food supply at risk. Migrant labor is a critical component of
our farmers’ ability to supply consumers with the food they want at a reasonable price. New York Farm Bureau has already seen some members scale back production or move to less labor intensive crops because of concerns they have about a lack of labor. By limiting the growth of our family farms, we also limit the growth of our rural economies. Immigration reform will help spur agricultural economic development throughout the state. We would especially like to congratulate Senator Charles Schumer for his successful fight on our farmers’ behalf.
The leadership and understanding he has demonstrated on this issue is to be commended. In addition, Senator Kirsten Gillibrand has remained a steadfast supporter of our farmers who have long advocated for immigration reform, and we thank her as well for the great vote she cast today. There is still a long fight ahead in the U.S. House, but we remain hopeful that the importance of this issue for New York’s farmers and farm workers will be the incentive lawmakers need to do what is right,” said Dean Norton, President of New York Farm Bureau.
Senate passes historic immigration reform bill containing dairy worker provisions Plan is better for farmers and workers, according to NMPF On June 27, the Senate approved a comprehensive immigration reform measure that will help dairy farmers with their current and future workforce needs, and provide the entire agriculture sector with much-needed economic certainty, according to the National Milk Producers Federation. “We’ve known for years that the status quo employment situation in dairy farming is not sustainable. Today, the Senate moved decisively past that admission, and voted to change our labor and immigration laws for the
better,” said Jerry Kozak, President and Chief Executive Officer of NMPF. “Rather than tinker with what wasn’t working, this new immigration measure builds something new and much better.” The immigration reform measure, approved by a vote of 68-32 strengthens the border security apparatus to discourage the flow of illegal immigrants to the U.S. From the standpoint of farm employers, it creates an entirely new visa category for their workers, both current employees, and prospec-
Statement from Agriculture Secretary Vilsack on Senate Immigration Bill passage On June 27, Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack made the following statement on the Senate passage of the Immigration Bill: “Today’s strong bipartisan vote in the U.S. Senate to fix America’s broken immigration system is good news for farmers and ranchers, good news for farm workers, and good news for rural America. The Senate plan would ensure the stable agricultural workforce that U.S. producers need in order to remain competitive with other nations and maintain our abundant, affordable food
supply. For millions of farm workers who today live in the shadows, it will provide an appropriate opportunity to earn legal status by contributing to America’s agricultural economy. In addition to being a strongly pro-agriculture bill, the Senate plan would grow the U.S. economy, strengthen the Social Security system and reduce our deficit. Following today’s strong bipartisan vote by the Senate, the House of Representatives must continue the momentum toward passage of comprehensive immigration reform as soon as possible.”
NCBA statement on the Senate passage of comprehensive immigration reform legislation On June 27, by a 68 to 32 vote, the full U.S. Senate passed their comprehensive Immigration and Border Security bill, S. 744. National Cattlemen’s Beef Association (NCBA) President Scott George, a cattle and dairy producer from Cody, WY, issued the following statement: “Border security and immigration have been one of our top priorities as set by our members in 2013. I am pleased to see that the Senate has continued the conversation on this important issue that affects all Americans, but especially rural Americans and our members who live and ranch along our borders.
This action by the Senate is a step in the right direction and we look forward to engaging with members of the House in ensuring the priorities of cattlemen and women are met in final legislation. “A strong year-round workforce is paramount to the success of the cattle industry. Cattlemen and depend on a legal and stable workforce year round. We recognize that the first step in ensuring the success of our workforce is securing and maintaining our borders. The conversations taking place on the Hill right now are keeping these issues front and center and we truly appreciate those efforts.”
tive new employers. This new visa system will be administered through the U.S. Department of Agriculture, making it easier for farmers and ranchers to access and use. It will also assure a future flow of new workers, so that as the economy evolves and jobs shift between sectors, farmers will have the means to recruit and hire new dairy workers. “Dairy farmers have been concerned that their current workers might be overlooked by the reform efforts, but the Senate bill addresses that concern, by allowing currently employed, but undocumented, workers to maintain their jobs. This is a huge benefit, both to workers, and their employers,” Kozak said. Kozak noted that regardless of the region of the country, many dairy farmers “face ongoing challenges finding a sufficient number of workers to care for and milk their cows. Securing a reliable and competent workforce for our nation’s farms and ranches is essential to ensuring that American
consumers continue to enjoy dairy products on their grocery store shelves,” he said. Kozak stressed that even with the historic Senate vote, much more work on immigration reform has to be done this year on Capitol Hill. Negotiations are continuing in the House of Representatives, which is working on a separate bill, and where broad support for a comprehensive immigration reform measure is less certain. “The key is to demonstrate to a majority of the House that action is needed. The bill the House will consider is going to be different than this Senate bill, but the critical thing is that a bill addressing the needs of agriculture must be passed by the House. Inaction is not an option,” Kozak said. Throughout the immigration reform process, NMPF has worked with other farm worker and farm employer organizations in the Agriculture Workforce Coalition.

Crop Comments by Paris Reidhead Field Crops Consultant Dead zones and other river problems Eight or 10 years ago, on one of the TV channels… probably the History Channel… there was a program dealing with the Flood of 1927. This flood… centering on the Mississippi Basin… inflicted more waterborne damage on the U.S. than any natural disaster in the country’s history, up to that point, and ever since. This flood had nothing to do with hurricanes. According to this TV presentation, one of the manmade factors enabling Mother Nature to behave in an unusually obnoxious fashion was the strip-clearing of forest land, combined with the human failure to replant to timber seedlings on these denuded former woodlands. The local (and even national) news media has dubbed the Mohawk Valley’s very recent excessive rainfall, and accompanying flash-flooding, as the Flood of 2013. So I wanted to find something on-line dealing with the huge disaster of 86 years ago, that linked it to the woodlot mismanagement practices so prevalent during the early part of the last century. Try as I might… without major effort… I couldn’t find anything in cyber-space which supported my vivid recollection. So I ask you to take in faith my knowledge of how bad conservation intensified what went wrong in 1927 in the nation’s heartland. One thing that sticks out in my mind in this recent Internet research is that no one mentioned the Flood of 1927 as being caused by global warming, and yet it’s the worst flood that the U.S. ever experienced. I believe that some of our cropland management practices these days render soils as unable to retain excess moisture as badly as the denuded hillsides over eight decades ago. It’s easy for me to point a finger halfway across the country to the Grain

Belt areas, where summer annual row crop production is more intense than it has ever been. Corn and soybean are the crops. Less and less land is planted to small grains and perennials. By my own calculations, based on State of Iowa ag data, somewhere between five and six percent is the portion of that state’s farmland committed to hay and pasture production, i.e., soil-building practices. Much less dramatic than the Flood of 1927, which came to rest in the Gulf of Mexico, is the growing dead zone in that body of salt water. About three weeks ago, Dan Vergano, writing in USA TODAY, headlined: “Summer means sun, sand, and oxygen-deprived ‘dead zones’ afflicting the Gulf of Mexico and the Chesapeake Bay.” He stated that Federal environmental biologists foresee a recordsize “dead zone” for the Gulf of Mexico this summer, a New Jersey-sized patch of water deadly to marine life. Just off the Texas and Louisiana coasts, the zone forms largely because of fertilizer runoff from the corn belt flowing down the Mississippi. These uninvited nutrients spur the growth of algal blooms that remove oxygen from the water in the Gulf. The especially large size this year of the predicted zone, perhaps 8,500 square miles, appears to be tied to Midwestern floods that washed more nutrients into the river. “The estimate is this will be the largest zone ever, unless there is a storm that stirs up the water,” says researcher R. Eugene Turner of Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration scientists concur with Turner’s assessment of this ongoing dead zone issue. “Even if there is a storm it is going to be a very large zone,” Turner says. Records have been kept on the summer dead zone in the Gulf
since 1985. Last year’s zone was one of the smallest on record, as a drought prevented runoff carrying as much fertilizer into the Mississippi River. The prediction is better for the Chesapeake Bay, where estimates are for a smaller -than-average dead zone there, similar
to last year. Improved conditions in the Bay appear tied to improved water-treatment facilities in the region, suggests water-quality expert Michael Woodside of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), resulting in 30 percent fewer nutrients than average flowing into the estuary. That means more crabs, oysters and fish there. Turner was critical of inaction on reducing the amount of fertilizer running into the Gulf, some 168,000 tons of nutrients in May, nearly three times as much as last
year. He notes that a federal, state and tribal agreement aims to cut the average size of the dead zone in half by 2015, “and I don’t see any sign of that happening,” he says. With corn prices high, it appears that farmers this year decided in favor of applying larger amounts of fertilizer, suggests Jerad Bales, USGS associate director for water. “A lot of the contribution to nutrient flow comes from groundwater, which can take years to reach the river,” Bales says. “That means even if we take
steps to cut nutrients, this could still be a growing problem for years.” One piece of good news is that dead zones typically recede some in the fall, as waves and winds re-oxygenate the affected patches of water, and run-off of soil nutrients lessens as the growing season draws to a close. Another piece of good news is that if we stop sending surplus nutrients into our salt-waterbound waterways, these dead zones tend to erase themselves. That’s what

There's plenty of dairy product in the cooler. USDA's latest Cold Storage report estimated May butter stocks at 323.2 million pounds, up 4 percent from April but 61.6 million pounds or 24 percent above May 2012. American type cheese, at 717.9 million pounds, was up 3 percent from April and 10 percent above a year ago. Total cheese stocks stood at 1.16 billion pounds, 3 percent more than the April inventory and 8 percent above a year ago. FC Stone dairy economist Bill Brooks, said in the June 24 eDairy In-
sider Opening Bell that "The production and (milk) supply reports show trends of the past couple of months are continuing. We have a decent amount of milk production, but it's not burdensome," though "A combination of weather and economics has driven demand to a point where it's not keeping up with growth in production." He adds that "The arrival of warm weather probably boosted demand, but not enough to recoup demand lost during March and April. Jerry Dryer warned in his June 21 Dairy and Food Market Analyst that "Naysayers" told him the cheese market was about to break lower. Buyers are waiting for the $1.60s, the mid $1.60s, according to a broker source. But, Dryer asks; "Where are the international buyers?" He points out that the Oceania price is pegged at more than two bucks a pound; European price quotas are as high or higher. He

happened in the Black Sea in Eastern Europe following the fall of Communism. In the absence of government-subsidized fertilizer purchases, farmers in the former Soviet Union couldn’t afford to overdo on plant food, so fewer nutrients fed the algae blooms. Back in my field crops cooperative extension service… during most of the 70s… Iowa State farm economists preached that stated if Iowa corn farmers were limited to commercial nitrogen (N) application of 80 pounds per acre, corn prices for all U.S. corn growers would improve greatly. These economists didn’t say anything about the reduced N dosages preventing the future development of dead zones in the first place.

adds that, "If the cheese prices break below $1.70, I don't expect them to stay for very long. However, the new Cold Storage report certainly challenges my position." He pointed out that April butter and American cheese inventories were already at
record highs. Cheese prices plunged the last week of June. The blocks closed Friday at $1.6375 per pound, down 8 3/4-cents on the week and a penny and a quarter below a year ago. Barrel closed at $1.5875, down 12 cents on the week and 7 3/4-cents
below a year ago. Eleven cars of block traded hands on the week and eight of barrel. The AMSsurveyed U.S. average block price lost another half-cent, slipping to $1.7502. Barrel averaged $1.7963, up 2 1/2-cents. Cheese production continues at a steady
pace with plants trying to maximize schedules, according to the USDA's Dairy Market News (DMN). Domestic sales are steady with some increased interest from export markets. Cooperatives Working Together (CWT) has helped to accelerate ex-
port sales this year, says DMN. CWT announced this week that it accepted another 10 requests for export assistance to sell 3.439 million pounds of cheese to customers in Asia, the Middle East and North Africa. Cash butter saw a third week of decline, closing the last Friday of June at $1.4275, down 7 1/4-cents on the week and a dime below a year ago. Two cars were sold. The AMS surveyed butter price averaged $1.5501, down 1.9 cents. Increased butter in cold storage is weighing on the market, according to DMN. FC Stone dairy broker Dave Kurzawski stated in the June 27 Insider Opening Bell that "trade reports indicate ice cream sales in June were off 3-5 percent. "That's a big chunk of product that's not moving at the margin," he said. The only good news in the cash market was that Grade A and Extra Grade nonfat dry milk remained at $1.73 and $1.70 respectively. AMS powder averaged $1.6878, up 0.7 cent, and dry whey averaged 58.64 cents, up 1.3 cents. Availability of spot loads of milk in the Midwest was uneven the week of June 17, according to USDA's weekly update. Some cheese manufacturers indicate their
internal milk supplies are declining seasonally and access to additional supplies would be helpful to meet near term orders. A few manufacturers with nonfat dry milk and cheese production capabilities are sending additional loads of milk to powder operations as that market appears to be gaining near term strength. April milk production in New Zealand was down was 34.5 percent from April 2012, according to DMN. The June April output, at 18.9 million tons, is running 0.2 percent lower than the previous season. Australian production is expected to continue at the light side of normal with projections being eased lowered. USDA's latest Ag Prices report showed increased feed prices in June while the all-milk price was steady. The June milk-feed price ratio, at 1.53, was unchanged from May and up from 1.38 in June 2012. The U.S. average all-milk price was $19.70 per hundredweight (cwt.), unchanged from May but up $3.40 from a year ago. Corn, at $7.02 per bushel, was up 3 cents from May and up 65 cents from a year

Mielke from A9 ago. Soybeans averaged $15.10 per bushel, up 20 cents from May and $1.20 more than June 2012. Alfalfa hay averaged $220 per ton, down $1 from May, but $19 more than a year ago. California's July Class I milk price was announced by the California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA) at $19.59 per cwt. for the north and $19.86 for the south, down $1.25 and $1.26 respectively from June but both are $1.99 above July 2012. The prices include another temporary increase mandated by CDFA as a result of a May 21 hearing. The northern 2013 average now stands at $19.82, up from $17.79 a year ago and 3 cents shy of the average in 2011. The southern average now stands at $20.09, up from $18.06 a year ago and also 3 cents shy of the average in 2011. California Ag Secretary Karen Ross announced the temporary milk pricing formula adjustments on June 21, resulting in an estimated 12.5 cent per cwt. increase in the milk price paid to the state's dairy producers for July 1 through December 31, 2013. Formula adjustments for the period February-
May 2013 had boosted the state's milk price by about 25 cents per cwt., but expired at the end of May. DairyBusiness Update (DBU) reported that, effective July 1, the Class 1 milk fat price was increased 3 cents per pound; the Class 1 milk solids-not-fat price was raised by 23 cents per pound; and the Class 1 milk fluid carrier price by 0.01 cents per pound, for a total impact of about 3 cents per cwt. to the Class 1 price. The mandate increases the Class 2 and 3 milk fat and milk solids-not-fat price by 41 cents per pound., with the impact of boosting the Class 2/3 prices by about 5 cents per cwt., according to DBU. The Class 4a and 4b milk fat and milk solidsnot-fat price is raised by 1.23 cents per pound, with the impact of boosting the Class 4a/4b prices by about 15 cents per cwt. On average, these adjustments will increase the monthly pool prices about 12.5 cents per cwt. for the period of July 1-December 31, 2013, according to DBU. Looking "back to the futures;" second half Federal order 2013 Class III contracts portended an $18.48 per hundredweight average on June 14. That figure slipped to
$18.34 on June 21 and was hovering around $17.86 late morning June 28. The University of Wisconsin's Dr. Brian Gould forecast a May MILC payment of 69.79 cents per cwt. and he expects no further MILC payments for the foreseeable future regardless of the Farm Bill situation. Speaking of the Farm Bill; DBU reported that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) said the Senate will not pass another temporary Farm Bill extension and urged House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) to instead to pick up the Senate version and bring it up in the House. The Dairy Business Association and the Wisconsin Farm Bureau Federation praised passage of the GoodlatteScott amendment and stated in a press release that they "applaud the House of Representatives for adopting, on a vote of 291-135, to modernize the dairy safety net program without interfering with milk production or the dairy market by providing a dairy margin insurance program without supply management." "Even though the final vote on the passage of the farm bill failed, the overwhelming support of
the Goodlatte/Scott amendment will send a strong message in the future that farmers do not want the government controlling their milk production." But, Three Purdue University agricultural economists believe that another extension of 2008 Farm Bill is a distinct possibility, according to DBU. Chris Hurt, Otto Doering and Roman Keeney question whether Republican House lead-
ership will allow debate on the contents of the farm bill again anytime soon. With the one-year extension set to expire September 30, farmers could see another extension of the five-year agricultural spending plan, DBU reported. Meanwhile, the Senate on Thursday by a 68 to 32 vote, approved an immigration reform measure that National Milk (NMPF) says "will help dairy farmers with their
current and future workforce needs, and provide the entire agriculture sector with much-needed economic certainty." An NMPF press release stated that the bill "strengthens the border security apparatus to discourage the flow of illegal immigrants to the U.S. From the standpoint of farm employers, it creates an entirely new visa category for their
Mielke A11
workers, both current employees, and prospective new employers. This new visa system will be administered through the U.S. Department of Agriculture, making it easier for farmers and ranchers to access and use. It will also assure a future flow of new workers, so that as the economy evolves and jobs shift between sectors, farmers will have the means to recruit and hire new dairy workers." Five separate lawsuits involving dairies in the Pacific Northwest may have a warning for all U.S. dairy producers. DBU editor Dave Natzke had details in Friday's DairyLine, reporting that U.S. District Judge Thomas Rice, in the Eastern District Court of Washington, denied motions to dismiss environmental lawsuits against several Yakima Valley, Washington dairy producers, allowing the lawsuits to proceed to trial. The judge's ruling covers lawsuits filed In February by two environmental advocacy organizations. The lawsuits were filed against five Yakima Valley dairies, al-
leging they violated the federal Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA) and the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA). Since the lawsuits were filed in February, those dairies have signed agreements with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to address manure management issues. No trial date has been set and the Washington State Dairy Federation says the lawsuits seek to have routine manure management activities at dairies classified as solid waste dumps and, if successful, they could set legal precedent affecting livestock farms throughout the U.S. USDA announced new rules affecting foods sold in schools this week. National Milk says the rules will "ensure that nutrient-rich dairy products will continue to be offered to the nation's students in a variety of forms and settings." The "Smart Snacks in Schools" nutrition standards, affecting the calo-
rie, fat, sodium and sugar content of foods that are offered apart from the school lunch line, according to NMPF. These "competitive" foods may be offered in vending machines or other a la carte settings. The snack regulations are similar to overall nutritional rules applied last year to school lunches and breakfasts by the adoption of the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010. The International Dairy Foods Association also commended USDA for "highlighting the importance of dairy in children's diets and taking the necessary steps to help kids meet the dietary recommendations for milk and dairy products." And, in an effort to revitalize and build awareness of the dairy industry's iconic REAL(r) Seal, NMPF introduced a cartoon character modeled after the logo. A contest is being held to name the character. Details are posted at www.realseal.com . All entries must be received by August 31, 2013.

Youth Bureau hosts youth tent at the Madison County Fair The Madison County Youth Bureau is again coordinating free activities in the events tent on Saturday, July 13, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the 174th Madison County Fair, 1968 Fairgrounds Road in Brookfield, NY. This the fifth year for the Youth Tent and 14 organizations will be present to offer families the opportunity to participate in games, crafts and fun. Balloons will be available while supplies last. Families that visit at least nine booths in the Youth Tent will be eligible to receive a free family board game. All activities in the Youth Tent are free with paid admission to the Fair. “We have 14 organizations participating in the Youth Tent this year,
which is the most we have ever had at the Fair,” said Joanne Eddy, Director of the Madison County Youth Bureau. “It is wonderful to see so many local organizations support this event and offer free activities for children and youth. I am sure all those who come to the Fair on Saturday will have a very enjoyable time.” Groups will host youth activities throughout the day in the Youth Tent. The theme of the Fair this year is Madison County Goes Green and some booths in the Youth Tent will follow along with the theme. The Great Swamp Conservancy will host frog activities, crafts, and games at the It’s Not Easy Being Green booth.
The Madison County Department of Solid Waste and Recycling will host the Recycle-Sort Game. Kids can learn from the Recycling Staff what things are recyclable and what are not. Check out Things That Bug You with the Bug Lady. Play mini golf with the Youth Bureau and get your face painted by Project Café teens from Cazenovia. Come meet the Colgate Raider and say hello to the Dairy Princess. Visit the Sheriff’s Office’s Safe Child ID booth or take a break at the Library Corner. Explore 4-H with fun mini projects and see the Annual Madison County 4-H Photo Contest display. Play a game with the Madison County Literacy Coalition/Madison County Reads Ahead
and play the Canal Fact Game with the Chenango Canal Association Towpath Trail. Play the NO, RUN and TELL Safety Game with Liberty Resources. Decorate a flower pot and make a flower to go in it with Heritage Farms. It is recommended that each family stop at the Youth Bureau booth first and pick up a punch card before visiting the
your veterinarian to determine the appropriate vaccination schedule and testing needs for your pig. Steps to consider prior to going to a show include: • Complete all training and paperwork needed for the show in a timely manner (i.e. Youth PQA Plus®). • Make sure that your pig meets the specific show requirements for your local, county, state or national show (identification, vaccinations, health papers, etc.). • Take only clean and disinfected equipment to the show to prevent any potential pathogen transfer from your pig to another. • Bring adequate supplies so you won’t have to borrow or share
equipment to prevent getting a disease from other pigs. • Never bring an unhealthy animal to a show, fair or exhibition. • Evaluate your pig’s health on a daily basis prior to the show. Is your pig eating normally? Is it coughing, “thumping” or having trouble breathing? Does your pig have a fever or loose stools? These steps are outlined in the Pork Checkoff’s newly revised booklet, A Champions Guide to Youth Swine Exhibition: Biosecurity and Your Pig Project. Visit the Pork Store on pork.org or call 800-456-7675 for this and other materials for exhibitors. “Good biosecurity starts with knowing what steps to take at the
Evaluating Alfalfa & Corn Crops In-the-Field Evaluating Alfalfa & Corn Crops In-the-Field will be held on Wednesday, July 10, 7 p.m.– 8:30 p.m., at A-Dale Farm, 3576 Pratts Road, Bouckville, NY 13310. Corn and alfalfa growers often rely on crop consultants and agronomists for advice on pest control, knowing how to deal with inclement weather conditions, and evaluating the field’s fertility program. Kevin Ga-
noe, Field Crops Specialist with the Central New York Dairy and Field Crops Team, will be leading the discussion at ADale Farm, owned by Allen Hough, Bouckville. It’s also a chance for Central New York producers to compare notes and discuss what’s happening in their fields. The program has been approved for one pesticide recertification credit. Attendees must arrive
on time and stay for the entire program to be awarded credit. Please register by calling Cornell Cooperative Extension of Madison County at 315-684-3001.

Get through fair season like a champ With fair season in full swing, now is a good time to review your biosecurity plan. Some fairs and exhibitions may require health papers that list specific vaccines, such as for influenza, and may require targeted health testing, such as for Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome (PRRS) virus. “For many people, youth livestock exhibitions at fairs are their only interaction with livestock,” said Jodi Sterle, a pork producer and an animal science professor at Iowa State University. “It’s important that all swine exhibitors follow proper biosecurity procedures to keep their animals healthy.” As part of your biosecurity plan, work with
booths to be eligible to receive a free family board game. Entry to the Fair is only $3 per person. Four year olds and under are free. All activities in the tent are free on Saturday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Go

A few weeks ago, 42 teens representing 21 4-H county programs participated in the New York State 4-H Public Presentation Event held at Cornell University. They performed in the following categories of demonstration, illustrated talk, speech, recitation and dramatic interpretation. Six Oswego County 4-H’ers earned the honor to represent the North Central 4H District at this event as senior presenters: Rachael Thormann, Caleb Lacson, Jena DuPont, Kim Logee, Christina Owens and Brianna Logee. The North Central 4-H District is comprised of 4-H programs from the following counties: Oswego, Onondaga, Madison, Oneida, and Herkimer. Each of the Oswego County 4-H’ers received an exceptional score with three of them earning top awards in their division. The key to the 4-H’ers successes was practice. These 4-H’ers lived the 4-H motto, “To Make the Best Better” by working to improve their presentation. They reviewed the previous judge’s sheets, and
Local college student learns about invasive species College of Environmental Science and Forestry student Casey Guyer of Altmar recently spent a half day completing a job shadow experience with the Oswego County Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD). The experience focused on terrestrial invasive species. Guyer checked a successfully treated glossy buckthorn site on county reforestation property with
Joe Chairvolotti, SWCD Forester. The site received a chemical application in the summer of 2012 to eradicate the area of the invasive shrub. It is fast growing, spreads quickly and out-competes desirable tree seedlings on the forest floor. For information on forestry services available to County landowners please call the SWCD at 315-5929663.

made alterations to their presentation. Caleb Lacson added the history of chocolate chips to make his cookie demonstration longer. While, Kim and Brianna Logee brought the books they used as resources to the event instead of just reciting where they researched their topics from. At the event’s conclusion, Jena DuPont and Rachael Thormann earned a gold seal for their team presentation on butterflies. Caleb Lacson was awarded a silver seal for his demonstration on making chocolate chip cookies. Brianna Logee prepared a motivational speech on gun control which earned her the second highest score in the Speech Category. Her sister Kim Logee recited excerpts from Anne of Green Gables that earned Kim a perfect score and 1st place in the Dramatic Interpretation Division. And lastly, Christina Owens earned 1st place in the Recitation Category for her performance of To Kill a Mocking Bird. Public Presentations is a signature program of 4-H Youth Development. As the youth prepare their presentation, they are researching their topic and organizing their thoughts. When the youth give their presentations, they are enhancing their public speaking skills and confidence. Cornell Cooperative Extension of Oswego County 4-H Youth Development Program is a leader in Public Presentations in New York State.

Government intern students visit the State Capitol Fifteen students from seven Herkimer County school districts visited Albany, on April 23, as a culmination of the Government Intern Program sponsored by the Herkimer County Legislature and administered by Cornell Cooperative Extension 4-H Youth Development. The trip was chaperoned by Herkimer County Legislator Helen Rose, Mohawk teacher Karen Guidi, Town of Webb teacher Tim Leach, Cornell Cooperative Extension Intern Kaylyne Edick and 4-H Program Educator Wendy Richardson. Upon arrival at the state capital, the students visited the Court of Appeals, had a tour of the Capitol, and were welcomed by Senator James Seward,
Assemblyman Marc Butler, Assemblywoman Claudia Tenney and Assemblyman Anthony Brindisi. After having a dialogue regarding current issues confronting Herkimer County and New York State, the group then sat in on the New York State Assembly in session, and was recognized on the floor by the representatives. 4-H Government Intern Program is offered by the Cornell Cooperative Extension 4-H Youth development program of Herkimer County in the fall and spring of the school year. For questions on this or other 4-H programs, please contact the 4-H Office at Cornell Cooperative Extension of Herkimer County at 315866-7920.
Registration now open for free Field Trip to Insectapalooza Approximately 120, third grade students from both Camden and McConnellsville were visited by The Cornell Cooperative Extension Touring Teacher prior to the end of the school year. Students learned about Insects, their life cycles and the evolutionary adaptations that allow insects to inhabit many different climates and geographic locations. Following the presentation students split into teams where they were challenged to build a bug from a box of common household and recyclable items. All students who attended the touring teacher workshop are eligible for the free field trip to attend Insectapalooza at Cornell University in October 2013 if they: 1. Register at reg.cce.cornell.edu 2. Build-a-Bug Directions can be found at http://goo.gl/63JAt 3. Write a story about their bug explaining why it has the characteristics it does. 4. Bring the bug and story to Kirch Hardware in Camden on Saturday, July 13, between noon and 3 p.m. Your child will meet with a 4-H representa-
tive to discuss their insect. Insects will be placed on display at the 2013 Boonville Fair. Please do not build the bugs from valuable objects and if you want your bug returned please make arrangements by calling Lynette at 315-736-3394 x105. What is Insectapalooza? For the past several years the Cornell Lab of Entomology has opened its doors to the public for a fun educational family event called Insectapalooza. College students from the Entomology Department organize the day’s event with true hands-on insect opportunities including cockroach races, an indoor butterfly house and live exhibits of spiders, scorpions and tarantulas. The public is invited into the vaults to view the insect collection, encouraged to speak directly with students about the research they are working on, and for the truly adventurous, there is an opportunity to sample some cricket cookies. This opportunity is exclusively for Camden and McConnellsville students and has been made possible by a generous donation from International Wire and Kirch Hardware.

This week’s Sudoku solution
by Ann Swanson Kitchen — heart of the country home My kitchen was revamped after my husband died. A Vermont Casting wood stove had graced the old kitchen. When I was on my own I decided that I no longer could burn wood. My children would have to cut wood for me and they were all very busy. It was not just the cutting either, the chimney would need to be cleaned. I struggled with a new plan for my kitchen. There was also a hearth that had to be removed before I could add more cupboards in that area.
If I left things the way they were configured I would have to use upper cupboards and get a custom countertop. I would not really gain much as far as cupboard or counter space. I decided to do away with the chimney. I did not have to remove it, I just encased it and closed the opening. Once that was done I was ready to reconfigure the kitchen. My carpenter installed recessed lighting — something that was sorely needed for years. He also installed cupboards to create an ell in the kitchen. My stove

table. Each of them had a special place to sit. Mostly the table had only one drop-leaf open so it was flat on one side. I remember the table at my greatgrandfather’s house. It was painted with light green enamel paint. I loved that old kitchen. There was a large wood burning/gas stove with a warming oven. There was also a large farm style sink with its own backsplash. Near the sink was an endless towel that was sewn together for efficiency. You pulled out the rod and inserted a new one when it needed to be washed. The table was a prize to me. Grandpa told me that his parents had purchased it secondhand. My grandpa would have been over a hundred by now so it is certainly old. When some cousins were visiting we found a date deep inside the table when we expanded it to accommodate the whole family. It
was made in the 1800s. Grandpa refinished it for us and added a polyurethane coat to make it water resistant. He was so happy that I wanted his family table. It had been left behind after all of the children had chosen what they wanted from greatgrandpa’s house. It has been in my kitchen for the past 40 years. It has seen many family gatherings at Hickory Heights including two wedding celebration picnics. It has also served as a table for the grandchildren and me to play games. When my husband was farming the table was very handy for those after haying meals. I just pulled up the dropleaves and it seated eight to 10 comfortably. We always fed our haying crew before we sent them home. Frequently our meals were late. The hay field had to be cleaned off before we could eat. My husband was full of fun. He loved the old table because it was on casters. I appreciated the casters because they allowed me to pull the table out easily whenever I needed it. He liked it because he could spin the table around moving everyone’s dinner. One of our employees did not like rice pudding so when I made that I always made something else for him. Dick thought it was great fun to spin the table so that he had a plate with rice pudding in front of him. I miss those days. Everyone ate well and did
not complain. It was good for our children to have the experience of older children in the hay field and at the table. The conversation was lively even though they had all worked hard that day. Sometimes the twins down the road brought their musical instruments up to play after supper. They had guitars and a banjo. We listened to them play before the men took off to do the barn chores. The table has also seen countless dozens of cookies. That is where we frosted and decorated our holiday cookies. It was convenient for the children because it was lower than the countertops. The grandchildren have many pictures taken around that table in their scrapbooks. Some of the pictures are of holiday celebrations while others are just days at grandma’s house. Even though the children no longer need a babysitter, they enjoy a day with grandma. If they are all here we usually play games. There is a basketball hoop out back so we shoot baskets and play a game of pig. If they are here one at a time we do different things. The older two are interested in cooking so I have done some cooking and baking with them. It is fun for me to have someone to share cooking chores with as I pass on some of my recipes.

found a new location. Now, years later I am very pleased with my renovation. It is convenient and more spacious than the old layout. I have twice as many cupboards and double the counter space. My small kitchen is still a far cry from the monstrosities that I see created on television. I have a small, but very functional kitchen that is just right for me. It is more than adequate for all of the cooking and baking I do. Part of that kitchen is devoted to my kitchen table. It is an antique table with five leaves. Actually, if I put in all five leaves it would be too large for the kitchen. The table was a gift from my grandfather. It came from his homestead. That table was part of their household as long as I remember and obviously much longer than that. Grandpa told stories of his mother and father along with a brother and sister sitting around that

North Country Sustainability Plan unveiled Funding opportunities available in Round 1 of Sustainability Plan Implementation New York State Governor Andrew Cuomo on June 28 announced $30 million Statewide in the first round of funding for the implementation of regional sustainability plans, including the plan endorsed by the North Country Regional Economic Development Council. The plans were developed under the governor’s $100 million Cleaner, Greener Communities program, a major statewide initiative to invest in smart growth planning and sustainability. “This first round of funding will put each region’s sustainability plans to action,” Governor Cuomo said. “Through the Cleaner, Greener Communities program, regions across the state have developed plans from the bottom up, building on their assets and identifying needs, to create green jobs for New Yorkers while investing in proj-
ects that improve energy efficiency and reduce pollution. These plans will help accelerate our clean energy economy and improve the quality of life for all New Yorkers.” $30 million will be available for Sustainability projects through the competitive 2013 Consolidated Funding Application (CFA) process. Entities can apply for funds that meet the criteria set in the Cleaner, Greener Communities program for these three types of projects: • Permitting for siting of photovoltaic (PV) installations and for electric vehicle recharging stations • Updating municipal plans to include smart
growth and sustainability guidelines including land use planning • Larger scale projects ($1 million-$5 million) that advance goals in the Sustainability Plan. More information on the North Country Sustainability Plan is at: www.adirondack.org/g reen. The Cleaner, Greener funding opportunities are being offered by NYSERDA, through the State’s Consolidated Funding Application (CFA) process. In addition, other State agencies have released funding sources that could be applicable for clean energy initiatives.

This summer, The Capital Area Agriculture and Horticulture Program will be offering three guided dairy tours in Columbia and Washington Counties. These tours will give farmers the opportunity to see different management styles, tour new facilities, see different ways to market milk and listen to ideas for managing risk. During these tours farmers will also have the chance to ask questions and talk one-on-one with the owners to get valu-
able information. All three tours will happen rain or shine. The first farm in the series of tours is at HillOver-Holsteins farm, 7441 State Rte 22 in Copake, NY, where “details make the difference”. Join us on July 10, from 1 to 3 p.m. to tour Fred Barringer’s, Hill-OverHolsteins, which features a registered herd that is composed of five cow families. Fred strongly focuses on milk quality and is proud to have his name behind
his label. “Most important thing we do is milk,” he says. Currently there are a dozen dry cows and 70 replacements, which are all raised on site. The cows receive a TMR diet and are turned out onto two acres of pasture every night. They are rotated through 40 acres of paddocks, ensuring that they always have enough high-quality forage. On a small farm, getting all the tasks done in a timely and efficient

Vermont Wagyu at Spring-Rock Farm Your opportunity begins Aug. 28 Spring-Rock Farm is owned by the Patinkin family, who have been in operation since 2006. The newly reconstructed barns and fields now accommodate their Vermont Wagyu beef operation. The Spring-Rock herd is born of some of the oldest and finest 100 percent full blood Wagyu originally imported to this country from Japan. As the
herd develops, the Patinkins are maximizing its potential by keeping close track of herd statistics. “We only select animals with good fertility, strong mothering skills and fine temperament; We provide the best atmosphere, feeding and care any herd could receive,” says Sheila Patinkin. Creating a strong and healthy genetic line is a challenge with a breed of cattle as small in number
as the Wagyu. It is in every respect a science. Dr. Sheila Patinkin meticulously studies the pedigrees used in their breeding program, seeking a preferred balance between the lines of Wagyu bred in America today. Some of the top marbling bulls are contained within the herds’ pedigrees. “As our own herd develops, we are

seeking a genetic diversity through varying the strains of Wagyu in our breeding program.” Maintaining the intense marbling of the meat without affecting other positive traits in the cattle; watching for the effects of inbreeding to decrease the incidence of recessive genetic disease.
The Wagyu herd at Spring-Rock Farm was born in 2009 with a calf crop of 13. After adding to the herd with animals from Crescent Harbor Ranch in early 2010, the count rose, and is now continuing to grow at 100 head. This year, the embryo transplant program at Spring-Rock will
increase the positive impact that the Patinkins have been working towards. Utilizing high conception and mothering abilities of a fellow beef breed as serogates, they will implant Wagyu embryos into more than 15 head of Angus females. This will help Spring-Rock grow their

Tour from A17 manner is a big challenge. Fred operates his farm mainly with the help of two hired hands. Fred is involved daily on his farm feeding cows, milking, and clipping pastures along with many other tasks. The two hired men, Jose and Willie, help him with milking, feeding calves, bedding and any other daily chores. All the crop work on 230 acres is hired out. Fred maintains control of his crops and feed by purchasing all the crop inputs and paying two local farmers to bring in their machinery from planting through harvest and storage. One farmer plants and harvests the corn silage and haylage, which are packed into Fred’s bunks. Another grows, stores, and roasts his soybeans. To capture more profit, Fred and his wife Donna, established Hill-Over Healthy & Fresh, LLC two years ago, to retail their bottled milk. Currently each week, one ton of milk is bottled at a licensed facility. Donna manages the on-farm store, home delivery, and farmer’s market sales. They have learned a lot about retailing milk. In the store, they also sell locally-produced ice cream, cheese, yogurt, and maple products. Retailing milk is now an important part of their business plan to improve profitability.

Governor Corbett’s budget makes solid investment in agriculture HARRISBURG, PA — Governor Tom Corbett signed the 2013-14 state budget, increasing support for the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture and the economy-driving agriculture industry. “Agriculture is the state’s leading economic driver with more than $67 billion in economic impact,” said Governor Corbett. “Farming provides jobs for Pennsylvanians and keeps dollars in local communities. “This budget is an investment in agriculture, which is the cornerstone of Pennsylvania’s economy and future.” One in seven jobs is related to agriculture and 97 percent of the more than 62,000 farms are family owned. “Pennsylvania’s agriculture industry is vital to the state and national economy,” said Agriculture Secretary George Greig. “Governor Corbett’s budget keeps our farmers farming, with funding for our top veterinary school, agriculture research, livestock, youth and dairy shows, county fairs and protection of our farmland.” The Department of Agriculture budget: • Increases funding for the Veterinary School at the University of Pennsylvania at $28 million for veterinary activities, $261,000 for the school’s Center for Infectious Diseases, and $46 million for agricultural research and extension at Penn State;
• Support the state’s nation-leading farmland preservation program with $35 million to safeguard productive farmland against development; • Increases funding for the Pennsylvania Farm Show Complex and Expo
Center with $4 million; • Provides increased funding for the statesponsored Keystone International Livestock Exposition, All-American Dairy Show and other youth livestock shows by nearly $45,000; • Sustains more than
$10 million to continue tax credits for Resource Enhancement Protection Program (REAP), which rewards farmers for best environmental and management practices; • Strengthens funding for county fairs, at $3 million, that attract
more than six million visitors each year and showcase the best of local agriculture; • Ensures critical funding for the State Food Purchase Program at more than $17.4 million to help food insecure Pennsylvanians; and
• Boosts funding for PA Preferred™, the official brand of agriculture products grown or made in Pennsylvania, with $550,000. For more information on Governor Corbett’s 2013-2014 budget, visit www.budget.state.pa.us

T RU C K S ATA congratulates Anthony Foxx on his confirmation as DOT Secretary Leaders from American Trucking Associations congratulated Anthony Foxx after the U.S. Senate voted unanimously to confirm him as the next U.S. Secretary of Transportation. “I’d like to offer my heartiest congratulations to Secretary-to-be Foxx on his confirma-
tion,” said ATA President and CEO Bill Graves. “As I said when he was nominated, the challenges of being mayor of a large city like Charlotte are not all that different from those of being a governor, so I’m confident he will be up to the test of providing this country with the
first-rate, world-class transportation system our industry and our economy demand.” “ATA is and will continue to be open and eager to assisting Secretary-tobe Foxx as he moves into his new role,” said ATA Chairman Mike Card, president of Combined Transport, Central Point,
OR. “As an industry we share his stated goal of having the world’s safest, most efficient transportation network. So I offer my congratulations to him and wish him the best as we work to meet those lofty goals.” Prior to his confirmation hearing before the Senate Commerce, Sci-
ence and Transportation Committee, several ATA leaders offered their advice to Foxx as he prepared to take over as Secretary. Graves also offered thanks to outgoing Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood. “While we have not always seen eye-to-eye on
the issues, no one can question Ray’s passion and the vigor he brought to the job,” Graves said. “Ray’s zeal to elevate the issue of distracted driving on a national level was one of great importance and our highways are safer because of it.”
American Farm Bureau: Estate tax repeal act will ‘get the job done’ WASHINGTON, D.C. — The American Farm Bureau Federation recently voiced support for legislation introduced in both the House and Senate that would permanently repeal the federal estate tax: the Death Tax Repeal Act of 2013. While significant tax relief was enacted last year to help farmers cope with estate taxes, AFBF believes a permanent repeal is still the best solution to protect U.S. farms and ranches. The
new legislation would repeal the estate tax, maintain a stepped-up basis and make permanent a 35 percent maximum gift tax rate and $5 million lifetime gift tax exemption indexed for inflation. “Individuals, family partnerships and family corporations own 98 percent of our nation’s 2 million farms and ranches,” said AFBF President Bob Stallman. “When estate taxes on an agricultural business
exceed cash and other liquid assets, surviving family partners may be forced to sell land, buildings or equipment needed to keep their businesses running. This not only can cripple a farm or ranch operation, but also hurts the rural communities and businesses that agriculture supports.”
The value of familyowned farms and ranches usually is tied to illiquid assets such as land, buildings and equipment, and producers have few options when it comes to generating cash to pay the estate tax. Recent increases in cropland values — on average 15 percent from 2011 to 2012 — have expanded
the number of farms and ranches that are not covered by the current estate tax exemption. “Farm Bureau believes the estate tax should be

“Beef 101” presentation illustrated the importance of having a safe and wholesome food supply that starts with healthy animals The National Cattlemen’s Beef Association (NCBA) recently gave an overview to more than 70 congressional staff members on antibiotics used in food producing animals as part of NCBA’s “Beef

use of antibiotics in the beef industry as one of the critical tools to prevent the spread of disease and maintain a healthy herd. “The goal of producers is to manage cattle to

comprehensive herdhealth management plans, and it’s important for veterinarians and producers to have the ability to best manage herd health and raise healthy cattle, which ultimately means a safe food supply.” During the presentation, Apley covered common myths about antibiotic use, such as the misconception that 70 percent of antibiotics used in the United States for human and animal uses are used for nontherapeutic use in food animals. In fact, Apley stated, some antibiotics calculated into that total have never been marketed in the United States. He added that a large percentage of the antibiotics used to treat and prevent illness in animals are ionophores, compounds not used in human medicine. Another myth dispelled during the session is that animal antibiotic use is not subject to significant government regulation. Contrary to that myth, all antibiotics labeled for use in livestock production have passed a stringent Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval process and have been shown to be safe and effective. FDA approves antibiotics to treat specific diseases or conditions at specific dosage rates for a specific time period, and this science-driven process helps protect human health while giving veterinarians and cattlemen the tools they need to keep cattle healthy. “Producers use antibiotics under the guidance of a veterinarian, and extensive regulations govern the use of animal health drugs. Many factors go into ensuring that veterinarians, farmers and ranchers have access to effective antibiotics to maintain animal health,” said Apley. “Unfortunately, there are a lot of misconceptions and outright misrepresentations about why and how antibiotics are used in the cattle industry. The truth is, cattle producers and veterinarians utilize many tools including vaccines, herd health management, genetics and animal nutrition to continue producing the world’s safest beef.”

Urge President Obama to grant Governor Cuomo’s request for major disaster declaration following upstate floods NYS officials confident that complete damage assessments will far exceed the state’s per capita threshold of $26.7 million WASHINGTON, D.C. — A bipartisan group of U.S. House members on July 2 wrote President Obama in support of Governor Cuomo’s request for a major disas-
ter declaration following severe flooding in upstate New York. The flooding, which occurred on June 27 and 28, badly damaged homes and businesses. In many areas there has been significant infrastructure damage and debris removal costs have been identified, providing additional burdens to cash-
strapped local and state governments. The letter was authored and signed by Representatives Richard Hanna (NY-22), Chris Gibson (NY-19), Bill Owens (NY-21), Paul Tonko (NY-20), and Tom Reed (NY-23). “We can attest to the extensive damage impacting homes, businesses, and local infra-
structure in the flooded areas and the serious personal losses experienced by local residents,” the Members wrote. “Many families have been displaced from their homes, and local businesses have been devastated. Meanwhile, local governments are struggling to find funding to repair roads, culverts,
bridges and other infrastructure damaged or destroyed. Without assistance from the federal government, many local leaders question how they will be able to make necessary repairs, the cost of which far exceeds local resources.” The requested declaration would provide vital federal assistance in
helping local governments, businesses and individuals rebuild from the storms. The affected counties include: Broome, Chenango, Clinton, Delaware, Essex, Franklin, Herkimer, Madison, Montgomery, Oneida, Otsego, Schoharie, St. Lawrence, Tioga and Warren.

State budget provides modest increases and level funding for vital agriculture programs CAMP HILL, PA — Pennsylvania Farm Bureau says the new state budget approved by the General Assembly and signed by Governor Corbett maintains spending for vital agriculture programs and provides modest increases for other key programs. “Overall, Pennsylvania
farmers believe agriculture programs were treated fairly in the budget, increasing funding for several key programs, including agriculture research and Cooperative Extension administered by Penn State University,” said PFB President Carl T. Shaffer. “The Animal Health Commission,
agriculture excellence programs and county fairs will also be funded at a higher level.” The state budget restores funding to last year’s levels for other agriculture programs, such as agriculture research administered by the Department of Agriculture and agricultural

Michael J. Baker will be demonstrating the proper equipment and techniques for handling cattle and techniques including the farmer-developed ‘Bud Box’ method for safely directing cattle into chutes and pens. The demonstrations take place daily at 11:30 a.m. Stockmanship trainer Bud Williams of Springfield, MO, developed a low stress handling method designed to take advantage of the natural instinct of cattle to return to the place they came from.

system facilitates routine health management practices such as vaccination and internal parasite control application. For the safety of your animals and yourself, proper handling facilities and the knowledge of how to properly use them are absolute requirements for handling beef cattle,” Baker says.

Center exhibits and activities include a live animal beef breeds display; beef production, management and marketing resources; and information on cattle health, the Beef Checkoff and Beef Quality Assurance (BQA) programs. New York Beef Industry
Council Executive Director Carol Gillis says, “A welldesigned system for the safe and efficient handling of cattle is one of the most important investments for beginning beef producers, and goes hand-in-hand with the Beef Quality Assurance Program that educates producers on handling and management practices to ensure safe, wholesome beef for consumers.” Empire Farms Days features 600-plus representatives of agricultural institutions, organizations, and manufacturers; DairyProfit and Equine Center Seminars; farm family life displays and activities; test drives; live animal demonstrations with different types of livestock, and more: www.empirefarmdays.com

CENTRE HALL, PA — This year’s 2nd Annual Pennsylvania Organic FarmFest on Aug. 2 and 3 at the Centre County Grange Fairgrounds brings with it a fantastic opportunity for financially supporting two of Pennsylvania’s greatest agricultural organizations. Pennsylvania Farmers Union (PFU) will be coordinating the
event’s auction activities with Pennsylvania Certified Organic (PCO) in an effort to support the strengthening and outreach of each organization’s services. Hosted by PCO, FarmFest offers a number of opportunities for businesses and organizations to connect with a broad and diverse audience in its Exhibit Hall, Organic Classroom, Homemade & Homegrown Market, Organic Kidspace and more. FarmFest is a fun and free community-building event that fosters knowledge of organic agriculture and sustainable living through educational opportunities, local foods, lively entertainment and interactive activities. Attended by thousands of regional farmers, backyard gardeners, and families, FarmFest includes both a silent auction and raffle sure to please everyone! The manner in which the auction is organized provides a fantastic opportunity for item donors to receive broad PR and grow their customer base. Event attendees come from all across Pennsylvania and surrounding states, so donors need not be central Pennsylvania based. FarmFest is looking for
contributions of Silent Auction and raffle items. Additionally, we hope attendees will visit the auction area to bid on items and participate in the raffle drawings. This year will include a live auction for a few choice pieces that will take place on Saturday Aug. 3 at 6 p.m. and is being led by auctioneer, Brian Magaro of Enola, PA. Requested items include but are not limited to: specialty foods and beverages, books, crafts, pottery, paintings, vacation packages, farm tools, and more! All contributions are tax-deductible for the fair-market value. We gratefully welcome items in all categories and price ranges. We look forward to showcasing your wares and services at this year’s FarmFest Benefit Auction and welcome promotional materials to accompany your donation! Online item commitments can be made at either farmfest.paorganic.org/silentauction or pafarmersunion.org/pco farmfest2013. Email and phone commitments can be made at farmfest@paorganic.org or 814-422-0251. Find out more about the event, including sponsorship opportunities, at farmfest.paorganic.org

tem (GPS) units since the days when mine kept telling me to “make a legal U-turn!” But it’s not automatic yet, and I keep re-learning to maintain human control. This month I let that slip with a no-brainer while trying to find a hotel in a big city, having turned that task over to GPS with a few clicks. Frowning once or twice at the instructions to turn there and then in that direction, I still trusted it to get to “my destination,” where I was soon said to have arrived. Only then did I realize there was more than one location for that hotel chain in the city, and this was the wrong one. Entering the right address and once again relying on the GPS, I got to
wet rod slipped and the squeeze released in a bang microsecond. Thankful it did not hold for a minute longer, I saw then that the chute action would have dealt a serious head injury had I been standing where I had been oblivious of risk. I felt lucky and stupid all at once, and of course found another way to help secure tails after catching the heifers. Let that be a warning to carefully study the workings of every squeeze chute or other equip-
before getting ment down to work. It’s risky to do or casually “decide” anything as a no-brainer, even when they seem obvious. Danger or opportunity could be just around the corner, only to be avoided or engaged by thinking. Is your business on course? Have you even set a destination, or are you just following a path of least resistance at the least possible cost and hoping for the best day to day? Are you missing some real and present danger
by assuming your first idea — or somebody else’s idea that you took on as a no-brainer — was the right idea? The power of an engaged mind can use technology or sometimes just simple logic to produce cattle that are worth hundreds of dollars more per head than those from a herd on autopilot. Whether drought and debt are knocking at the door or prosperity reigns over your pastures, every decision will brighten or dim your prospects. Stay focused.
National Grange supports ag funding, SNAP; says splitting Farm Bill may be ‘last resort’ On June 27, the National Grange said reports that House Majority Leader Eric Cantor is looking to separate the agriculture and conservation provisions from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program funding in the current Farm Bill could be a positive move in a divisive political climate. National Grange Legislative Director Grace Boatright said in a statement: “As an agriculture-oriented organization, we strongly believe in the need for continued sup-
port for America’s farmers through a Farm Bill. We, too, believe in helping those in need of food support through community-level programs and assistance through federal funds such as SNAP. If separating the two components of this massive bill allows the divided Congress to move past partisanship and toward passage of both the Farm Bill and a responsible spending plan for SNAP, the Grange stands behind such a move. This should be done as a last
resort to get critical funds approved before it’s too late.” Boatright went on to say: “America’s hardworking farmers and ranchers provide food, fiber and fuel for us each and every day and cannot wait until a more united Congress is able to enact legislation. The security of our food — from the perspective of growers and those who seek assistance as consumers — should not be held hostage.”

No brainer? by Steve Suther You’ve heard it many times, maybe even said it: “Oh yeah, that’s a nobrainer.” But how can that be when that assessment and comment took conscious thought? I submit there are very few legitimate no-brainers except autonomous functions like breathing. Illegitimate ones, sure, as in “pulling a nobrainer.” Those are actions we look back on and realize in retrospect should have been given more thought. If we’re lucky, we learn without serious injury to health or pocketbook. Technology is a good thing, but you have to understand it with brain fully engaged. I have learned much about global positioning sys-
the hotel just a little later, and no harm done. Earlier this spring while assisting in artificial insemination (AI) on a set of heat-synchronized heifers, I discovered a potentially fatal error in my chuteside routine. There are several models of squeeze chutes, and this one is not mine but it relies on an angled tab sliding down a rod to keep the squeeze on until released by changing the angle with a release handle. Or, if a critical juncture is affected by moisture, it turned out. A soft rain was falling that morning, and I noticed what that could mean on the second heifer. It wasn’t the first, because on that one I had held a tail out of the way and perched in what seemed like a logical spot. It was almost a no brainer. After setting the squeeze for the next one but before I could step up where I had been, the

WEEKLY MARKET REPORT

FY 2014 Beef Board budget approved National checkoff leaders recently approved a Cattlemen’s Beef Board (CBB) budget of about $40.7 million for Fiscal 2014, reflecting a 5.6 percent decrease from the Fiscal 2013 amended budget, amid continued tight supplies and an expected slowing of cow slaughter. The CBB Budget Committee, the Operating Committee, and the CBB Executive Committee each reviewed their respective portions of the proposed budget during separate conference calls on June 4. The budget is based on projected beef checkoff assessment revenues of $39 million in the coming year, down slightly from 2013. In addition, it incorporates an estimated $1.7 million in FY13 funds returned from programs coming in under budget for the current year, plus funds that the Operating Committee decided last JR’S Sold It!
September to carry over from FY13 revenues to counter the revenue decline expected in FY14. As approved, the budget for the fiscal year running Oct. 1, 2013–Sept. 30, 2014 includes more than $37.9 million for the Operating Committee — made up of 10 Beef Board members and 10 directors of the Federation of State Beef Councils — to assign for funding of national checkoff work plans from promotion, research, consumer information, industry information, foreign marketing and producer communications budget categories of the CBB budget. It also incorporates $2.8 million to fund a CBB administration and USDA oversight budget approved by the Executive Committee, as well as program development and evaluation expenses approved by the Operating Committee.
“We continue to have budgetary challenges before us, as we knew we would,” said CBB Chairman Weldon Wynn, who also chairs the Operating Committee. “But we’re just really optimistic that the changes we’ve made in the structure of our checkoff committees this year will help us be more efficient than ever with every checkoff dollar we invest through the Cattlemen’s Beef Board.” Wynn said that a Beef Demand Determinant Study contracted through the Joint Evaluation Committee is going to provide some additional direction to help the checkoff prioritize its investments solidly on efforts that stand to further the goals of the Beef Industry Long Range Plan most effectively. It will do so by ranking demand drivers in order of importance to consumers and the checkoff’s ability to influence

bers of the Beef Board and Federation of State Beef Councils who sit on joint program committees this year will have some exciting proposals from potential checkoff contractors under the new checkoff structure. “We sure look forward to seeing all of the specific work plans from contractors for the checkoff,” he said. “I think we’re going to see contractors and potential contractors getting as creative as possible to help us maintain a strong beef industry and reach consumers across the globe with important information and messages about beef and its benefits to today’s busy and health-conscious consumers. The key will be to leverage every checkoff dollar to its greatest
advantage for the producers and importers who hold us accountable for their dollar per-head investments.” Individual joint program committees and subcommittees will review preliminary work plans during conference calls in coming weeks. They then will meet in Denver Aug. 7-10 to prepare recommendations and priorities for specific work plans to submit to the Operating Committee, which will consider those work plans for funding with the FY14 budget during its meeting Sept. 24-25. The 2014 budget recommendation still must be approved by the full Beef Board, which administers the national checkoff program, and by USDA.

them, so that Beef Board members and Federation of State Beef Councils directors serving on joint program committees understand what programs would benefit most from increased — or decreased — emphasis in checkoff work plans. “We always depend on our evaluation process to help us make some decisions about which work plans are most effective and the most focused on the immediate tasks at hand,” Wynn said. “And this new demand study that we will be reviewing soon should give us an extra level of checks and balances as to the needs and effectiveness of our programs in Fiscal 2014 and beyond.” Chairman Wynn said he believes that mem-

U.S. farmers successfully overcame a cold and wet early spring this year, planting 97.4 million acres of corn, up slightly from 2012, according to the Acreage report released June 28 by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National
Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS). This is the highest acreage planted to corn since 1936 and marks a fifth year in a row of corn acreage increases in the United States. This growing season did not get off to a good
start. Hampered by cold and wet weather in early spring in much of the major corn-producing region, U.S. growers had only 5 percent of the crop planted by April 28, making it the slowest planting pace since 1984. In May, however,

the weather conditions improved significantly, helping U.S. corn growers to make great strides in planting. The week of May 19, farmers tied the fastest corn planting pace on record, planting 43 percent of the total crop during that one week. Overall, 63 percent of the corn crop was reported in good or excellent condition as of June 2, compared with 72 percent at the same time last year.

states. U.S. farmers also increased all wheat acreage this year. All wheat planted area for 2013 is estimated at 56.5 million acres, up 1 percent from last year. The wheat acreage increased in part due to an early row crop harvest, which allowed farmers to seed more acres. In contrast with the increase in acreage for the first three principal crops, U.S. all cotton planted area is significantly lower in 2013, compared with last year.

Monthly webinar series on land-use issues to start July 17 UNIVERSITY PARK, PA — A new series of webbased seminars offered by Penn State Extension will cover issues related to land use. Kicking off July 17, the 75-minute, monthly webinars will be offered from noon to 1:15 p.m. on the third Wednesday of the month. The sessions will include time for questions and answers. The workshops are intended to help planners, elected officials and concerned citizens come together to make better land-use decisions, noted Peter Wulfhorst, economic and community development extension educator based in Pike County, who is coordinating the webinars. “Through this webinar series, you can learn
more about planning and current planning issues,” he said. “The presentations will cover local regulations and how and why they are created, as well as planning tools and resources available to decision makers in Pennsylvania. Participants will learn how to engage in planning to benefit their community.” The July 17 session, ‘Solar Model Ordinance: Not to be Confused with the Sunshine Act,’ will be moderated by Ed Johnstonbaugh, Penn State Extension educator in Westmoreland County. That webinar will feature Evan Endres, with PennFuture, and Andrew Schwartz, managing principal of Environmental Planning and Design.

Center for Rural Affairs Board of Directors calls for comprehensive immigration reform Recently, the Board of Directors of the Center for Rural Affairs unanimously called for comprehensive federal legislation to fix the broken immigration system and strengthen our communities.

creates clear avenues for future immigrants. • Practical and appropriate limits as determined by an independent commission on the number of manually skilled workers allowed to immigrate legally each year. • More effective enforcement of existing wage and labor laws and of the prohibition on hiring undocumented immigrants and falsely classifying them as independent contractors. According to Knopik, the United States admits only 10,000 manually skilled workers on work visas each year, about one for every 100 immigrants who enter without a visa and find work. “The door to legal, documented immigration used by earlier genera-
tions is today largely closed for all but the wealthy and well-educated,” Knopik said. Kathie Starkweather, director of rural community development work, went on to explain that the Center for Rural Affairs further recognizes the need to fully engage immigrants in rural communities and American democracy through support for minority business development, voter registration, leadership development and other means. “Such approaches bring people together and build community,” Starkweather said.

Soy, corn, sunflower and canola growers comment on withdrawal of Gibbs Amendment on market-oriented farm policy As part of its debate on the 103 amendments to the Federal Agriculture Reform and Risk Management Act of 2013, the House of Representatives concluded consideration of an amendment offered by Representative Bob Gibbs of Ohio that would set target prices for all crops at 55
percent of the five year rolling Olympic average. After the amendment was offered, House Agriculture Committee Chair Frank Lucas of Oklahoma requested that Rep. Gibbs withdraw his amendment with the promise that he will work with Rep. Gibbs in the conference commit-
tee to see enacted an “equitable and market-oriented farm bill”. Leaders from the American Soybean Association, National Corn Growers Association, National Sunflower Association and U.S. Canola Association released the following statement on the withdrawal of the Gibbs
NJFB applauds Governor Christie’s veto of S-1921 New Jersey Farm Bureau applauds Governor Christie’s decision to veto S-1921, a bill that would have upended the Department of Agriculture’s (NJDA) duly adopted livestock care standards by imposing a de facto ban on the use of gestation crates on pig farms in the state. NJDA’s Humane Treatment of Domestic Livestock standards, approved by the legislature in 1995 and adopted in 2004, already address all aspects of livestock care including the proper use of gestation crates. We acknowledge that some animal welfare groups and veterinarians question the appropriateness of this particular practice but
agree with the Governor’s opinion in his veto statement that “the proper balancing of the humane treatment of gestating pigs with the interests of farmers whose livelihood depends on their ability to properly manage their livestock rests with the state’s farming experts — the State Board and Department (of Agriculture).” Questions relative to the appropriateness of using gestation crates should be brought to the veterinary care experts at NJDA for a review and opponents of this practice should present the necessary evidence to illustrate that the standards should further

restrict the use of these crates. “In our opinion, the Governor made the right decision by vetoing S1921,” said NJFB President, Ryck Suydam. “By way of the Humane Treatment of Domestic Livestock standards, the state already has a science-based mechanism for reviewing these types of practices, thus rendering legislative action on this particular issue unnecessary.”
Amendment: “Our collective groups believe the Gibbs amendment would have received strong support on the House floor, and would have made the 2013 farm bill a better piece of legislation overall. As proponents of market-oriented farm
policy, we are disappointed to see the amendment withdrawn and we thank Rep. Gibbs for his continued advocacy. We expect Chairman Lucas to respond to the farm policy concerns raised by the amendment during Conference on the farm bill,
as he committed to do during his colloquy today with Rep. Gibbs. The final farm bill must be more equitable and market-oriented than the current Price Loss Coverage program in the House bill.”

NYCAMH provides agricultural hazard awareness training for firefighters in New Hampshire by James Carrabba, The New York Center for Agricultural Medicine & Health — NYCAMH In May, educators from the New York Center for Agricultural Medicine and Health (NYCAMH) delivered an agricultural hazard awareness training workshop to 11 firefighters and EMS personnel. The workshop was held at the Newport fire station and at Beaver Pond Farm in Newport, NH. This workshop was sponsored by Sullivan County Farm Bureau. Firefighters and EMS personnel from Newport, Unity, Meriden, Webster, and Lempster fire departments were in attendance. The NYCAMH instructors were James Carrabba, Agricultural Safety Specialist and Erin Madden, NYCAMH Program Assistant. This was the third year that this workshop has been held in Sullivan County. The first portion of the workshop was conducted at the Newport fire station. This part of the
training was a classroom session where the participants received a broad overview of the most common agricultural hazards they might encounter if they had to respond to an emergency at a farm. The hazards reviewed included tractor overturns, tractor runovers, PTO entanglements, mechanical hazards, chemicals, engulfments, confined space dangers, and animal hazards. The second half of the day was spent at Beaver Pond Farm, a vegetable and small fruit farm in Newport. At this location, the participants could walk around the farm to take a first hand look at tractors, machinery, and structures that are common on Sullivan County farms. The farm owner, Ben Nelson, explained to the group how his farm functions and pointed out things that a rescuer would need to be thinking about if they ever responded to an agricultural emergency. A variety of tractors and equipment were on display for the participants to examine. Highlights of the afternoon session included
several hands-on rescue scenarios involving various pieces of farm equipment and a trauma manikin. The participants were challenged to brainstorm proper rescue techniques to help someone who was wrapped around a PTO shaft or caught under a piece of equipment, and demonstrate how they would respond to a medical emergency in the field, and ways to perform a confined space rescue. There are several people we would like to thank for making this workshop possible. Cassy
& Accessibility Sullivan of Sullivan County Farm Bureau was the coordinator of this event and she made this workshop possible. Also, a special thank you also goes out to Ben Nelson who graciously made his farm and equipment
available for this workshop. At NYCAMH, we are dedicated to making farms as safe as possible. For more information about our services please contact us at 800-3437527, or by e-mailing jcarrabba@nycamh.com.

Mechanical hazards: stored energy Summarized by Linda M. Fetzer, Pennsylvania State University Stored-energy hazards occur when confined energy is unintentionally released. A spring is a classic example of the release of stored energy: A compressed spring expands with great force when released, and a stretched spring quickly contracts. Springs, hydraulics, and pneumatics move and control machines and implements that are part of agricultural equipment. The sudden pressurization or depressurization of such stored-energy systems can result in incidents that cause serious injury or death. There are many examples of stored energy in agricultural equipment: • Compressed air • Pressure washers • Springs • Winches • Hydraulic, pneumatic, and electrical systems Compressed air and fluids are used for tire inflation and power washing and in hydraulic cylinders.
Springs are used as shock absorbers and as a means of keeping belts tight. Winches and hydraulic systems are used to lift or change the position of implements. Potential injuries Injuries that can result from the unintentional release of stored energy include burns, contusions, abrasions, lacerations, injection injuries (as from hydraulic fluid), and crushing injuries. Amputation of a limb may be required if an injection injury is not immediately treated at a hospital. Safety precautions The list below outlines ways of reducing the risk of a stored-energy incident. • Identify machines that may have stored energy. • Before operating a machine that uses hydraulic or water pressure, examine the hoses and fittings for wear. • Pass a piece of cardboard or flat board along the hydraulic hoses to check for leaks. Do not use a hand to check for
leaks. Gloves do not provide protection from hydraulic leaks under pressure. • Turn off the engine and relieve hydraulic pressure before disconnecting hydraulic hoses or completing repairs. • Lower hydraulic components to the ground before shutting off the engine and dismounting the equipment. • Never walk under an implement or component supported by hydraulics or winches. • Regularly check winch cables for wear. • Before executing maintenance on hydraulic implements, put in place supports, jacks, stands, or blocks to prevent unintentional movement of the implements. • Know what direction a spring will move when released and how it might affect other machine parts, and stay out of the spring’s path. • Wait for free-wheeling parts such as flywheels, cutter heads, hammer mills, rotary mower blades, and fans to come to a complete stop before
