Grand Champion earns $1,000 at Central NY Holstein Show

by Steven E. Smith Over the 4th of July weekend, cattle trucks with 140 of the best registered Holstein cattle in New York headed for Norwich, NY as breeders from across the state exhibited at the Central NY Holstein Show. With a smile, Fred Myers of Rome, NY, show chairman, indicated that there were many fantastic animals that made this a really special group this year. All through the past year as he does each year, Myers enthusiastically worked to gain sponsorship and generate big league competition through handsome prize offerings.

Myers has a special passion for event that stems from his personal development as a youth cattle exhibitor as well as a life long commitment to the dairy industry and registered Holstein cattle.

He was the founder of the event and has dedicated himself to developing it ever since. “I am very appreciative of the many sponsors that have joined the committee and I hope to improve the show through the years.” The sponsor list ranging from Diamond, Platinum, Gold, Silver and Bronze levels totaled 78 businesses and individuals. Over

$15,000 was raised and after paying for show expenses, over $9,000 in prize money was paid out.

Each year, Myers encourages exhibitors with this robust offering of prize money for the top placing animals. “If a breeder wins Grand Champion, Best Bred and Owned and Best Udder, they go home with some coin,” exclaimed Myers. This year, the $1,000 prize sponsored by NBT bank for Grand Champion was earned by Jacobs Goldwyn JennaET, the 1st Jr. 3-year-old exhibited by Kevin & Barb Ziemba and First Coast Genetics LLC. Last year’s champion finished as the Reserve Grand Champion this year. Vermillion Dstrgn Spring-Red, the 1st aged cow exhibited by Kevin & Barb Ziemba and Jake Westbrook earned the $500 prize sponsored by Performance Products as well as Best Udder of the Show. Joleanna Holsteins took the $250 prize for Champion Dry Cow with their bred and owned Joleanna Toby After the Rain cow. The Premier Breeder of the show was Currie Holsteins and the Premier Exhibitor of the show was Kevin and Barb Ziemba.

This highly competitive state wide Holstein show is known for high quality cattle thanks to the tireless effort of Myers to rally support and sponsorship. The show in its eleventh year has grown into a two day event where participants gather during July 4th at the Chenango County Fairgrounds to celebrate Independence Day and Registered Holstein cattle.

resented by 40 participants. Earning the $350 prize sponsored by Fight Bac for the Best Bred and Owned animal was the Intermediate Champion of Junior Show Ridgedale Runaway-Red owned by Cyrus Conrad. For the Premier Junior Breeder and the Junior Sportsmanship Award was earned by Zachary Taylor. Cooper Galton earned the Premier Junior Exhibitor Award.

Interest in high quality registered Holstein cattle has been evident considering the numerous state and regional sales and events held in recent months.

The Central NY Holstein Show gained the attention of breeders beyond those who participated or attended through the help of the latest in technology. “We are excited to have a live feed video of show on the Holstein World Web site. We are grateful for the support of the Holstein World organization to help us showcase our event on the global level.”

While the spirit of competition is intensified when the caliber of quality increases, Myers has always strived to have the focus of the event on quality cattle and youth development. “It has become a real quality family event as well. We have the showmanship event the day before the conformation classes so that it can be the focus of the day. We had pig roast,

ice cream social, hospitality for seniors and fireworks for the group as we were here for the 4th of July.

“This is the 11th annual event. We even held the show in 2006 just days after the major flood that damaged many towns and farms in Central New York,” stated Myers. “I am glad to work with a core group of other Holstein enthusiasts from the state who assist in making this show possible.” Myers named Heather Frost, Sid McEvoy, John Marshman, Amy Kelsey, Dewitt Head, Joyce Thomas and Mike McCaffrey as a group deserving of special thanks for their efforts with the show.

It is likely when visiting with Fred Myers well after this show season, in the fall or even on a snowy winter day next January, Myers will have something to say about next year’s Central NY Holstein show. “I place an ad each January in the New York Holstein News announcing the event and from there I start talking with sponsors. I hope to be able to continue putting the show on.”

From the sparkle in Myers’ eyes, it is clear he is passionate about the event.

Judging by the level of support and participation, it is clear many others appreciate the dedication Myers has put for developing this event.

Protecting dairy profitability through risk management Part 2: Ruedinger Farms’ business plan and team approach to risk management.

by Sally Colby Wisconsin dairy producer John Ruedinger knew he had to make some changes to remain profitable. Some changes were for cow comfort, others were to optimize employee management, and the most drastic, and the key to his success, was how he managed risk.

Ruedinger made several changes to cow stalls before he was satisfied that his animals were comfortable. “We took concrete out, added mattresses and sand, and within a week we were up 4 pounds of milk on the same cows,” he said. “Then we took the brisket boards out and picked up another 2 pounds.”

He says that although sand bedding was harder on equipment, it improved cow comfort and cut cull rates.

Ruedinger also made changes in employee management. “We found that we need to fit the right person for the right job,” he said. “Some people work better feeding calves than pushing cows. We work with the individual employee to get him where he needs to be.” And although Ruedinger Farms hires people for specific positions, each employee is cross-trained in other areas of the farm operation.

In addition to hiring employees who are willing to work with management, Ruedinger says it’s important to hire and work closely with consultants that fit the individual needs of the farm because, as he says, “You can’t be a oneall, do-all in your business.”

Ruedinger’s entire team meets twice a year. He also holds monthly meetings with the herd manager, nutritionist and financial consultant to track and make sure balance sheets are correct and that he’s moving forward with the plan.

But the most important changes Ruedinger made were in marketing and risk management. “Developing a plan for your business sets you up for good marketing,” he said. “You need to know where you are, implement the strategy you’ve put in place, and sometimes tweak it along the way.” Ruedinger uses risk management strategy that involves maximizing the separation between average price and price received — a plan that manages the volatility within the dairy operation. “You build on solid average prices in a marketing program,” said Ruedinger. “You can’t pick the highs and the lows. If you do, you’re going to get burned. It’s all about protecting the bottom line from the risk of low

prices. Position yourself to capitalize on higher prices and position yourself to minimize the mower. You have to go for the middle ground to manage the margin between the milk price and the input cost.”

Ruedinger says that he started thinking more about risk management during one of the expansion phases of his dairy. “I was doing field work, and I though that I should do more with a pencil than with my back,” he said. “The year I started on my own, we made $30,000. That allowed me to pay someone to feed my cows.” Ruedinger realized that he might be able to reduce risk even more through careful risk management. He tried several firms and advisors, and settled with Stewart Peterson in 2003.

Mark Ludtke, of Stewart Peterson, says that the goal of strategic marketing is use a systematic approach to take the emotion out of the marketing process.

Ludtke tracks the current market and estimates what will happen when the market goes up or down. After the team comes up with customized recommendations for the farm, Ludtke makes sure those strategies are implemented.

“We know we can get to all the ‘tops’ of

the market place,” said Ludtke. “Our job is to keep the producer out of the troughs.” Ludtke says that some of the barriers to marketing include bad experience, fear, the risk vs. reward factor, trusting someone else to manage the program, and knowledge of how the market works. However, he emphasizes that breaking barriers comes from investing time, along with good communication with the rest of the farm team.

Ruedinger says that hedging line of credit is where working with the dairy team is critical. “How many dollars do you need? It depends on your risk appetite,” he said. “What’s the size of your dairy? You need to have a lender you can talk to.” The bank obtains the loan (the hedging account agreement) with the producer and the brokerage firm, and specifies when the bank can draw money from the client. Ruedinger says that the account must be balanced at the end of the day, every day. “You get out of it what you put into it,” he said. “It takes time to learn. I have to rely on the team. It’s what has allowed me to take my dairy to the next level.”

Part 3 will discuss more about Ruedinger Farms’ strategic marketing plan and the budget process.

by Jon M. Casey With “Dairy Month” ending, hundreds of National Holstein Association members converged upon Richmond, VA, June 22-25, for a week of farm tours, meetings and special activities to celebrate the 126th year of their organization’s efforts promoting the Holstein breed. Culminating with the election of a new association President, Chuck Wordon of Cassville, NY. Wordon, who previously served as the organization’s vice president, said that during his term as leader, he would ask the board members to consider market research and product development for all dairy producers, both domestically and internationally. He believes the Holstein Association has proven that it can speak for the industry because of their success as an organization and because of the strength of the breed throughout the industry. With nearly 90 percent of the milking cattle in the U.S. being Holstein cattle, the success speaks for itself.

Meeting items Larry Tande, retiring current President, recalled his 10-year association with the organization at the national level, reminding members that there continues to be a need for leadership.

With the ongoing problems that face the industry every day, Tande encouraged support from the membership for a renewed effort to face these issues.

Zoning issues, animal welfare questions, the decline in research and Country of Origin Labeling were a few of

his concerns. He called for board members to be respectful of other’s values, to follow through on their commitments and to always remember the membership when they make their decisions. Tande reminded the attendees that today, many cooperatives have forgotten why they exist. He asked that the Holstein Association not forget whom they represent.

During the two days of meeting sessions, “Gwendelyn,” owned by Scarlet Summer Holsteins, Muncy, PA, was recognized as the 2011 Star of the Breed. Scarlet-Summer RB Gwendelyn EX-94 2E (EEEEE), placed 5th as a 5year old at the Eastern Fall National Holstein Show. Her 58,270 pounds milk, 5.2 percent (3,004 pounds) fat, 2.9 percent (1,677 pounds) protein, helped propel her to the Star of the Breed honor.

Additionally, nine farms were honored with the 2011 Herd of Excellence Award. They are: Star-Summit Holsteins, Timothy Baker, Byron Center, MI; Hilrose Holsteins, Joseph A. Brantmeier, Sherwood, WI; Jafral Holsteins, Allen Dent Johnson, Hamptonville, NC; Ever-Green-View Farm, Thomas J. Kestell, Waldo, WI; Dirt-Road Holsteins, Steve and Amanda Killian, Blair, WI; KLane Farms, Rodger a. Koehn, Peotone, IL; B-Long Holsteins, Bruce and Brenda Long, New London, WI; See-More-View Holsteins, Merlin A. Rohm, Seymour, WI and Ideal Holsteins, Jake and Sallianne Tanis, Center Hall, PA.

The Smiths milk their cattle in this stanchion barn, a beautiful complement to their plantation home which dates back to 1796.

One of the week's farm tours was to Eastview Farm, home to the Nuckols family.

Welcoming nearly 300 visitors, Taylor, Matt, Elsie, Wayne and F.C. Nuckols stand atop a flatbed truck to greet them.

In a presentation entitled, “Forging a New Path for Dairy Producers,” Jerry Kozak, President and CEO of the National Milk Producers Federation, outlined his organizations progress to help change the way dairy producers are paid for their milk. Outlining the “Foundation for the Future” guidelines as a way to revise the Federal Milk Marketing Order program and to establish a new Dairy Market Stabilization Program to help prevent the extreme margin and price volatility, Kozak said this new program is a key element of fostering transition to a new way of milk pricing.

Kozak said because MILC has been inadequate in not being able to help dairy farmers when and how they really needed it, this new program is predicated on margins and triggers in and out as needed. He said all of the research and study that has been done has been transparent and that a foundational draft of the new legislation should be forthcoming sometime in mid-July. He said while this is a “discussion draft,” only, nevertheless, it is a giant step toward meaningful legislation. These new laws can help smooth out the big swings in milk prices and will work as a way to help stabilize the future for the next generation of dairy producers.

Tours During the course of the week, tours to Virginia dairy farms and other points of interest had been organized by James Cook and Barbara Clary Co-Chairs for the convention. Destinations included Mount Vernon, Monticello and the newly restored Virginia State Capital Building. More importantly, the farm tours helped members and their families to experience a taste of life from the Virginia dairyman’s perspective.

With 109 of the associations delegates in attendance, plus families, general members and guests, several hundred participants enjoyed many of the planned activities. On Thursday for example, five busloads of visitors spent the morning touring the Eastview and Edgewood Farms, near Beaverdam, VA. Hosting approximately 260 guests during the morning activities, the Nuckols and Smith families extended the warmest of welcomes to their fellow producers and friends, sharing experiences as the group had an opportunity to see how Virginia

Chuck Worden, Cassville, NY was elected Association President on Saturday, June 25.

Earlier in the week, tour goers had the opportunity to visit farms in the Shenandoah Valley, stopping at Janney Holsteins, Mar-Bil Farms and Gloryland Holsteins on Tuesday, and at Harvue Farm, Cows-N-Corn and MooThru on the return trip to Richmond on Wednesday. At the same time, other members visited the James River Correctional Center where the State Farm milks 283 Registered Holstein cattle and farms more than 6300 acres. From there they went on to visit the 800-head milking herd at Alvis Farm in Manakin-Sabot, VA. Elections In association elections, Glen Brown, Coalville, UT, was elected as vice-president over John Kalmey a Kentucky dairyman. Jim Burdette, Mercersburg, PA and was reelected as a National Director for a second term. Burdett is also chair of the Show Committee. Boyd Schaufelberger, Greenville, IL was reelected to another term as director-atlarge, with Mike Jones, Marshall, IN serving as the new director from region 3, defeating Thomas Atherton for the post, and Roy Bussing, Axtell, KS, being elected as director from region 7, having no opposition.

To conclude events Holstein Association members were reminded to make plans for the 2012 National Convention to be held in Springfield, MO, June 2730. For more information contact the association at 800-952-5200 or online at www.holsteinuse.com.

by Jay Girvin, Esq., Girvin & Ferlazzo.

P.C.,Albany, NY Q. For many years I have been farming a piece of land that I believed to be a part of my property. My neighbor recently had his property surveyed and claims that he is the owner of the land. Do I have any rights in the property?

A. Yes, assuming that you have been farming on the disputed area for at least 10 years and otherwise meet the requirements for adverse possession under New York law.

It is not uncommon for good faith disagreements to arise between neighbors as to which party is the true owner of a particular piece of property. This is especially true in rural areas

where property descriptions in deeds may date back many generations and may not reflect modern surveying standards. For example, it is not uncommon for older deed descriptions to describe a common boundary line in relation to physical landmarks that may no longer exist, such as a rock wall or a particular tree.

In the interest of putting potential disputes to rest, New York law has long recognized that the question of ownership is often best resolved by looking at how the parties themselves have treated the land. If one party has openly treated the disputed property as his own by using it for a long period of time, and the other party fails to object despite knowledge

of that use, the law will confirm the parties’ own treatment of the property by recognizing ownership in the party that has actually used the land.

The recognition of property ownership by use is generally referred to as “adverse possession.”

The rules governing the acquisition of real property by adverse possession are set out in New York’s Real Property Actions and Proceedings Law. Generally, a party “occupying” real property will gain legal title to the land after a period of 10 years as long as the occupation has been adverse, under a claim of right, open and notorious, continuous, exclusive and actual throughout that period.

To be considered “adverse,” the occupation must be “hostile” in the sense that the use is inconsistent with another party’s ownership rights and is not being done with permission. Occupation will be “under a claim of right” if the occupying party reasonably believes that the property is their own, even if that belief is mistaken. The Legislature specifically added the “reasonable belief” requirement in 2008 to prevent a party from deliberately using adverse

possession to acquire property they knew they did not own.

To qualify as “open and notorious,” the nature of the occupation and use must be of such a character and degree that they would likely be noticed by another party. The use must also be “continuous” and “actual,” as opposed to intermittent or sporadic.

While brief interruptions are not necessarily fatal to a claim, particularly if they are consistent with the inherent nature of the use, significant gaps may result in a finding that the occupation was not continuous. Finally, the occupation must also be “exclusive,” meaning that other parties are not simultaneously using the land for the same or different purposes.

Not all conceivable uses of real property will be sufficient to demonstrate an “occupation” of land. In its 2008 amendments, the Legislature specified that property

will only be deemed to have been possessed and occupied if (1) there have been acts sufficiently open to put a reasonably diligent owner on notice, or (2) the land has been protected by a substantial enclosure.

The Legislature also clarified that adverse possession could not be based on the placement of “de minimis nonstructural encroachments” on the disputed property, such as fences, hedges, shrubbery, plantings, sheds and non-structural walls, or on routine maintenance tasks such as lawn mowing. While these types of uses had previously been relied upon to support adverse possession claims in the past, the 2008 amendments reflected the Legislature’s belief that minor encroachments and routine maintenance are often insufficient to put property owners on fair notice that an adverse claim is being made

against their property interests.

The doctrine of adverse possession has always been disfavored in New York, since it results in a party acquiring title to real property without the consent of, or a payment to, the true title owner. For this reason, the law requires that adverse possession claims be established by “clear and convincing evidence,” which is a much higher burden of proof than normally applicable to civil claims. Title by adverse possession will be denied if any one of the many statutory criteria are not satisfied.

That being said, in the appropriate case adverse possession remains a viable means of awarding title to real property to the party who has, for all intents and purposes, consistently and in good faith treated the land as if it were his or her own for many, many years without objection.

by Elizabeth A. Tomlin New York’s Beef Industry Council (NYBIC) and South Dakota’s Beef Industry Council (SDBIC) have joined forces to educate New York consumers about beef nutrition, food safety, stewardship practices, and the benefits of beef in the daily diet — as well as to address misconceptions people have about beef. This was done from a grass roots level through a series of New York State beef farm tours in conjunction with SDBIC Checkoff Dollars.

“The tours came about in an attempt to connect the consumer/influencer with the reality of farming,” explained Jean O’Toole, Director of Public Relations & Promotions for the New York Beef Industry Council. “We targeted foodservice, retail, media, and nutritionists in an attempt to better educate them, so they in turn can better educate those they come in contact with — students, customers, clients, etc. Other states have done this ‘farm to fork’ or ‘gate to plate’ tour, so we decided we needed to do this as well — due to the incredible disconnect people have with agriculture in general.”

The tours were conducted on three different beef farms, in different areas of New York State, beginning with Equity Angus, owned by Rich and Marianne Brown in Montezuma, NY, where “the main component of the farm is breeding cattle for genetic improvement of herds.”

Brookefield Farms owned and operated by Barry and Ami Goldstein, and daughter Jennifer Coleman, near Granville, NY, was next on the list. According to Goldstein, “Our goal continues to be our vision to become a positive influence in developing a profitable, nononsense, yet compassionate and sustainable business approach to raising registered Angus in the Northeast, and helping to keep agriculture and family farms thriving for future generations.”

Last on the tour was SK Herefords, owned by Phil and Dawn Keppler, their family, and David Schubel, in Medina, NY. “Although the industry has changed over the past 70 years,” Keppler said, “SK’s commitment to quality

cattle and our love for agriculture remains the same.”

“Each event showcased a different segment of the beef industry,” reported Michael Baker, PAS, Ph.D., and Beef Cattle Extension Specialist with Cornell. “The audience was very interested in all aspects of beef production, and these tours gave them a good understanding of how beef is raised here in New York — as well as in the larger beef producing states.”

Craig and Peggy Bieber of Bieber Red Angus Ranch, Leola, SD, were guests at the tours.

“We brought in the Bieber’s for two reasons,” said O’Toole. “One, the South Dakota Beef Council funded the tours with their Checkoff Dollars, and they wanted to send one of their board members here to see how their dollars were being spent.”

New York State, with more than 15 million consumers, does not produce enough beef to supply their demand and look to mid-western states like South Dakota to fill that demand.

“Through the beef farm tour we emphasized the networks that bring beef to New York tables,” states NYBIC Executive Director Carol Gillis. “For our attendees, the tours provide a unique opportunity to experience the beef industry first hand.”

Gillis says the NYBIC stressed to attendees how important it is to be connected with states like South Dakota, who make it possible for New York consumers to enjoy delicious and nutritious beef dinners.

“Our second reason to bring in the Biebers was to show the attendees that New York beef farming is just that; farming vs. mid-west cattle ranching,” added O’Toole. “New York is considered a consumer state, the states in the midwest are considered beef states, more land mass, plains, etc., so it made sense to us to bring them in to compare the same industry on different planes.”

Attendees learned that methods of farming beef depend on the environment, and although protocol and biosecurity measures remain the same, one difference is that cattle are exposed to

Craig Bieber, of Bieber Red Angus Ranch, Leola, SD, attended the NYBIC beef farm tours and discussed the differences and similarities between beef farming in New York State and beef ranching in South Dakota.

different diseases depending on where they are raised.

He stated that all three of the farms he visited on the tours had purchased cattle out west in the past and also had someone from their farm that had visited ranches in the west.

Bieber’s overall impression of the three farms toured in New York was that there was “an excellent region with a lot of opportunity for beef cattle in that it has some of the lowest per animal unit land cost I have heard of. And there is lots of grass!”

The biggest difference he saw in management between the states included the weather and the people.

“New York producers deal with a lot more moisture and they also have to deal with a larger number of people — and differing opinions about what are

they doing,” he commented.

Bieber, who represents the Beef Breeds Council on the SDBIC, believes that the partnership between South Dakota and New York provides an excellent opportunity to educate consumers about the beef industry “from the pasture to the plate.”

NYBIC Director Gillis sees attendees leave the farm tours with “a new awareness of the dedication of the producers, the technology used in selection and feeding, and the producer’s concern for the environment, and the sustainability of the beef operations for future generations.”

“We received a number of comments and thank you notes from the attendees, and I feel we really achieved our goals,” attested Gillis. “We find the tours are the gateway to enhancing the consumer’s image of the beef industry.”

Crop Comments

by Paris Reidhead Field Crops Consultant International intrigue (with genes) On May 28, 2011, in Australia’s New South Wales (NSW), an article appeared in The Sydney Morning Herald, written

by Ben Cubby. The article was forwarded to me by a contact in Texas, my friend Fred, who originally hailed from Delaware County, New York. He’s been gone from New York long enough to have a southern accent. The items Fred forwards to me I could probably find on-line, but Fred is just better at scouting these subjects out, and often they’re worth writing about. Mr. Cubby’s article was titled “GM wheat trial begins amid secrecy.”

I’ll try to hit the article’s high spots and add some of my own comments.

The very concept of secrecy fascinates me, although some things are kept secret that I think should be made public; I’ll get into some nonagronomic secrets later.

But for the present... According to Mr. Cubby, Australia’s first trial of genetically modified (GM) wheat and barley has begun near Narrabri in NSW, with the ultimate goal of producing more nutritious bread. (Remember, April/May is when they start planting their winter grains “down under”.) But details of exactly how the genes were altered remain secret.

The Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) is Australia’s national science agency.

The CSIRO, which is running the three-year experiment, said the various gene combinations in the trial were subject to “commercial-in-confidence” agreements to protect the interests of various government research agencies and a U.S. company, Arcadia Biosciences. In North America, big corporations and government agencies kept things clandestine, using the term “proprietary information”, rather than the term “commercial-in-confidence”. Either term embodies cloak-and-dagger imagery to me.

The trial has been criticized by environment groups and some organic farmers, who say there is no known way to stop the altered wheat and barley from mixing with natural strains and “contaminating” a swathe of Australia’s wheat crop. The CSIRO says it will follow

(Contact: renrock46@hotmail.com)

the safety requirements set down in a license issued by the Office of the Gene Technology Regulator. “They will be separated from other crops by 200 metres, and wheat pollen travels about one metre, so it is highly unlike any will be found beyond that,” said Matthew Morell, a researcher with the CSIRO’s Future Food division. “Because these are patented technologies, there is still a need for restricting the details in terms of protecting commercial information.”

Fourteen separate strains of wheat and barley are already growning.

Some will test the viability of enriching the crops with extra nutrients, and others will focus on using nitrogen from the soil more efficiently, which would in theory lead to higher productivity without requiring more fertilizer. “We have done testing in greenhouses on these crops before but we also need to see how they react in the field, with the presence of other plants,” Dr Morell said. “At the end of the process we should have two or three years of data, and we can make an assessment about it.”

The license says the risk of the genetically modified crops escaping their containment is very low. According to Morell, “The risk assessment concluded that this proposed limited and controlled release… poses negligible risks to the health and safety of people or the environment as a result of gene technology,” the gene technology regulator said.

However, the environment group Greenpeace opposes the trial, on the basis that there have been no laboratory trials on the safety of the modified crops for human or animal consumption.

Greenpeace says genetically modified trial crops have usually broken their containment lines as a result of human error. In the case of a modified canola crop in southern NSW, seeds appear to have spilled from trucks driving down roads near an experimental farm.

This spread the canola and potentially exposed government agencies to legal action from farmers who market their products as organic. Commenting on GM wheat, a Greenpeace spokeswoman, Laura Kelly, said: “The Australian government’s decision to go ahead with GM wheat

field trials amounts to a covert decision taken on behalf of Australia’s wheat farmers, consumers and export markets that Australian wheat will be GM.” An organic farming group, The Biological Farmers of Australia, said the trial should not proceed without safety tests first.

The clash of ideals, relative to GM wheat, sounds very similar to the battle surrounding deregulation in the U.S. of GM (glyphosate-tolerant) alfalfa. Greenpeace is also involved in this American battle, along with Sierra Club, Cornucopia Institute, Center for Food Safety, and countless organic organizations. One big distinction here is that alfalfa, unlike wheat, is a perennial.

Now back to my own experiences with secrecy.

Turn time back 40 years, when, on active duty as an Air Force Officer, I was stationed in Laredo, Texas. I had my own secret clearance… such was required for one to become a military officer.

My office was located in the base command post, which housed a vault with secret information.

In that vault was a safe which housed top secret documents. I did not have access to that safe.

But I could get in the vault and read secret telegraphed briefs on Air Force combat actions occuring the day before in Vietnam. That was actu-

ally kind of neat. One day I had to “hand-carry” (gosh, haven’t used that term in a long, long, time) a folder of secret papers from the command post to the post office, just across the street, to be mailed. Somehow, the documents’ secrecy was protected in the mailing

process, though I don’t recall just how.

As I walked across the street, a Texas dust devil came straight at me, grabbing the contents of my folder, swirling classified papers out of my reach. Despite traffic and blistering South Texas heat, I moved very fast,

retrieving all documents before they hit the ground. Since I had signed for every one of them, it was a situation where failure to keep a secret would not have been a laughing matter.

Although some four decades later, the memory is quite funny.

We all scream for ice cream

by Dianne Lamb, Extension Nutrition and Food Specialist, University of Vermont Summer is synonymous with ice cream. Although it’s not low in calories, don’t avoid it for the sake of healthy eating.

Today’s lighter ice cream options can help keep the fat and calorie tally within reason. Portion control is an important, although unpopular, strategy tool.

Current recommendations about the overall balance of the foods we eat offer another approach about fitting ice cream into a healthy diet.

Checking the Nutrition Facts label on a carton of ice cream may seem daunting although at first glance, the num-

bers might not look too bad. A serving of regular ice cream usually totals 140 to 150 calories and eight or nine grams of fat. Of course, if you prefer any of the richer gourmet ice creams, the count goes up to about 300 calories and 14 to more than 20 grams of fat.

Read the label more closely, and you’ll see that those figures refer to a half-cup serving. If you scoop your ice cream directly into a soup or cereal bowl you may end up with as much as two cups of ice cream — four times the serving size and about 600 calories and 32 grams of fat or more. The same amount of premium-brand ice cream could mean 1,200 calories and more than a

Frozen dessert delights

day’s worth of recommended fat.

Instead consider “lite” ice creams and frozen yogurts. These typically have less fat or no added sugars, sweetened instead with sugar alcohols, which add some calories but not as much as regular sweeteners. These products typically run from 70 to 140 calories per half-cup portion with zero to three grams of fat.

Check labels carefully because lowerfat versions of gourmet products may be about equal to standard ice creams.

Portion size remains an issue as well since a bowl filled with three or four of the “standard” servings will have anywhere from 200 to more than 500 extra calories along with from three to 20 teaspoons of sugar.

Some people assume that sherbet and sorbet are low in calories, but this isn’t true. Fruit-based frozen desserts usually are about the same or slightly lower in calories than standard ice cream.

While very low in fat, they usually are higher in sugar.

Experimenting with products lower in fat and calories definitely can help, but don’t stop there. Try serving your frozen treat in a smaller bowl. A small dish that’s full to the brim seems more satisfying than a half-empty larger dish.

Slow down and savor a treat, and you may be amazed by how satisfied you are with a smaller portion. If you regularly buy ice cream, don’t let pricing gimmicks such as “Buy one, get one free” trick you into “stocking up.” For most people, when they have more,

they eat more.

When you go out for ice cream, make it a habit to order the smallest size portion available and savor it slowly.

Skipping the cone and just ordering a dish of ice cream also lowers the total calorie count.

You can make this treat more satisfying and more nutritious in one easy step. Add fruit.

According to the U. S. Department of Agriculture, American Institute for Cancer Research and other nutrition experts, roughly one in four American adults consumes the minimum recommended amount of fruit daily.

To increase your consumption, put one-half to a cup of fruit in your bowl and add the standard half-cup serving of ice cream as a garnish. Or be brave and add just a quarter-cup dollop of ice cream.

With each spoonful of fruit include a small bite of ice cream, and you’ll be surprised at how far that small portion will stretch. Regardless of which fruit you choose, you’ll be eating far less fat and calories while getting lots of healthpromoting vitamins, minerals and fiber to help you feel satisfied.

Another way to have your ice cream and eat it, too, is to make a fruit sundae. Layer a half-cup serving of ice cream or frozen yogurt in a stemmed glass between the fruit of your choice.

Top with a tablespoon of your favorite crunchy cereal or healthy granola and dig in.

Eat fresh! Eat local! Eat well!

Building healthy families Double the delight of family and friends when you serve this delicious brownie and ice cream dessert.

(NAPSA) — If your family is like most, you really love ice cream and novelties — 98 percent of all U.S. households purchase these frozen delights. Here are a few more cool facts: • America leads the world in ice cream consumption, averaging 48 pints per person, per year and over 1 billion popsicles.

• This country’s favorite ice cream flavors are vanilla, chocolate, butter pecan, strawberry and Neapolitan; the most popular popsicles are cherry, orange and grape.

• The experts at the National Frozen & Refrigerated Foods Association (NFRA) say you should make the ice cream aisle your last stop, keep your frozen purchases together in the cart and pack them in an additional paper bag for the ride home.

• The U.S. Food and Drug Administration defines ice cream as a mixture of dairy products containing at least 10 percent milk fat. “Reduced fat” ice cream has at least 25 percent less total fat than ice cream. “Light” ice cream has at least 50 percent less total fat or 33 percent fewer calories than ice cream. “Low-fat” ice cream

has no more than three grams of total fat per 1/2 cup serving, while “nonfat” ice cream contains less than 0.5 grams of total fat per serving.

No matter which you prefer, this dessert should delight:

Mint Ice Cream Brownie Delight 1 pkg. fudge brownie mix, family size 1/2 gallon mint chocolate chip ice cream 8 oz. carton whipped topping 12 maraschino cherries 1 cup whipping cream 1/2 cup light corn syrup 6 oz. semisweet chocolate chips 6 oz. bittersweet or dark chocolate chips Prepare, bake and cool brownies according to package directions. Cut into 12 servings. For fudge sauce, bring whipping cream and corn syrup to simmer in medium saucepan.

Remove from heat; add chocolate chips; stir until smooth. To serve, start with ice cream in bowl, top with brownie, a smaller scoop of ice cream and drizzle with warm fudge sauce.

Add a dollop of whipped topping and garnish with a cherry. Serves 12.

COOPERSTOWN, NY — A proposal to eliminate federal funding for The Northeast Center for Agricultural and Occupational Health (NEC) and six other similar centers around the country prompted a visit from Congressman Richard Hanna’s office to NEC’s Cooperstown offices recently. NEC is charged with protecting workers

in the three most dangerous industries in the U.S., agriculture, forestry and fishing, and although the program has been extremely successful, the funding it relies on is targeted for elimination in the President’s 2012 budget.

NEC and six other centers in the U.S. are funded through the National Institutes of Occupation-

al Safety and Health Agriculture, Forestry and Fishing Program (NIOSH AFF). Each of the centers was established to assure safe and healthful working conditions through research, education and training.

Here in the Northeast, NEC is well known for its work to reduce fatalities, traumatic injuries and injuries among farmers,

foresters and fishermen.

However, that work is in jeopardy because the President’s 2012 budget proposal eliminates the NIOSH AFF funding.

Congressman Hanna has worked to preserve the program. Adam Hepburn, Congressman Hanna’s top legislative aide, Andrew Brady, Hanna’s health advisor, and Brandon Eden, Han-

na’s defense advisor, toured the research facility and met with staff.

According to NEC Director John May, MD, their visit provided a welcome opportunity to share the challenges and vital work being done by NIOSH AFF Centers.

May states, “It’s important for legislators to understand what is important and unique about the NIOSH AFF regional research centers. In contrast to regulatory agencies that impose fines to reduce workplace hazards, we work directly with communities and industries on a grassroots level to develop tailored safety solutions that also maintain productivity and economic viability.” As May indicates, this formula for addressing health and safety issues has been quite successful. “Not only do we have a great working relationship with farmers, loggers and fishermen, we have developed initiatives that have made the workplace safer.” Some NEC success stories shared

by May include:

• the Rollover Protective Structure Rebate Program, which has assisted farmers with the installation of rollover protective structures on older tractors to prevent the most frequent cause of farm deaths; • the redesign of harvesting equipment to reduce musculoskeletal injuries; • a program to install power take-off shields, another frequent source of farm injury, and • the development of hand washing stations that have helped local farmers avoid thousands of dollars in OSHA fines.

The termination of the NIOSH AFF programs has attracted attention in many other regions of the country, particularly in the Northwest where fishermen experience substantially increased risk of work injuries and fatalities.

County Fairs going green with soybeans WATKINS GLEN, NY — Two county fairs in New York state will be flying the color green this summer, representing their commitment to using soy-based products throughout the events.

The Schoharie County Sunshine Fair, July 29 through Aug. 6 in Cobleskill, and the Dutchess County Fair, Aug. 23-28 in Rhinebeck are both being supported this year by the Green Ribbon Fairs project of the United Soybean and the New York Soybean boards.

The Green Ribbon program encourages fairs, through reimbursement funding, to include soy-based products, such as biodiesel, paint and dust suppressants, in their daily operations and to promote the use of these green products through signage and media outreach.

The Schoharie County fair will receive $6,000, and the Dutchess County event was awarded $7,000.

The Green Ribbon Fairs program also selected fairs in Iowa, Tennessee, Kansas, Illinois, Maryland, Missouri and Ohio.

Soy-based products can range from paints used to spruce up buildings to biodiesel used for the generators of the carnival rides.

“It is very appropriate that these county fairs are enhanced with support from the state’s soybean growers through the New York Soybean Board and the United Soybean Board,” says Steve Van Voorhis, president of the New York Corn and Soybean Growers Association, which administers the state soybean checkoff program.

The Dutchess County Fair has been using soy-based products since 2008.

“We want to be environmentally friendly,” says Dutchess County Fair Manager Robert Grems. “I always say, it does not make sense to showcase agriculture and not be a good friend of the environment. We are proud of our green initiative that is now part of our mission and master plan for the Dutchess County Fairgrounds.”

Grems says fair organizers knew soybeans were grown in the western part of New York, but were especially pleased to learn recently that some Dutchess County fields are now planted with soybeans.

“Our mission as an agricultural society is to promote agriculture. We do this with distinction at the Dutchess County Fair. We are aware the face of agriculture is changing,” Grems says. “For instance, we don’t have

the number of dairy farms in the county that we used to. We are grateful for the opportunity to promote new agricultural products.”

From the insulation foam used in the construction of the new office for the Dutchess County fair security crew to waterless urinals at the Schoharie County event, the list of soy-based products goes well-beyond the diesel fuel for carnival rides.

Doug Cater, president of the Cobleskill Agricultural Society that organizes the Schoharie fair, said the urinals are among soy-based products being used for the first time this year.

If the urinals and their water-saving qualities are successful, more probably will be installed next year, he says.

Center from A9 gram termination ‘criminal’. “To me,” said Colburn, “it almost seems criminal to shut down an office or a service in the United States that’s been so successful.” He adds, “I would think that there are a thousand other offices just turning paperwork over everyday and accomplishing virtually nothing [rather than] shutting down an office that is having quantifiable, solid results.”

Time was when you could park your car by the side of the road, amble up to the farmer’s house to get permission, and be granted the right to hunt wildlife in his woods. That quaint scenario is not so common today.

The increase of urbanization in America, the dwindling availability of open forested land, and a more litigious society has put a pinch on hunters finding available land.

Steve Meng, owner and operator of Base Camp Leasing, founded the company in 1999 out of necessity from his

inability to find a quality place to hunt after moving from Kansas to Indiana.

He continues to run the business based on his original ideals: find excellent hunting properties, set up exclusive hunting rights at a fair price, and let the hunters make their own success. Everybody wins.

Meng estimates that over 3,000 hunters will utilize Base Camp properties in 2011. Landowners turn to Base Camp Leasing for a variety of reasons, from generating additional income opportunities, reducing crop damage by

managing wildlife, eliminating trespassing and poaching and because they tire of getting approached by people wanting to hunt for free.

Base Camp Leasing provides a central location for landowners and hunters to connect. Base Camp serves as the intermediary and contracts with private landowners to lease the hunting rights to their property.

The www.BaseCampLeasing.com site serves as the clearinghouse and receives an average of 15,000 page views a day. Hunters can view land descriptions, annual lease price, topographical maps, and photographs of the private land available for them to lease within minutes of the property being listed. Base Camp Leasing handles all the marketing and contractual details for the landowner and retains a percentage of the lease amount.

Last year, Base Camp Leasing initiated an aggressive territory expansion phase, reaching outside of its dominant Midwest market. The company now covers 24 states from Minnesota to Louisiana, Maryland to Nebraska, and most states in between.

As plans are made to continue expanding into more regions, company spokesperson Karen Chapman said, “We plan to remain focused on our business model and areas of expertise: maintaining strong hunter-landowner relationships and finding prime locations with abundant game densities. Sportsmen and women are searching for the opportunity to enjoy natural resources and we would like to be the business providing these opportunities for them.”

Chapman also spoke about the many small hunting lease operations cropping up across the states as landowners look to increase cash flow

through leasing of hunting rights.

“We feel that as people become more familiar with the concept, it creates more opportunity for us. Having the infrastructure and demand base in place, along with the name recognition and trust, allows Base Camp Leasing to capture more of the expanding market. This is a relatively immature market and we expect some other serious players to emerge,” said Chapman. “We will remain the leader in the industry one year from now as well as five years from now.”

Not only do the landowners and hunters benefit, but the community benefits as well. As one landowner commented, “It’s a win-win-win situation.

Plus, these guys are spending money in our community when they come to hunt. I just don’t see any downside.”

Base Camp Leasing is a family owned business and it is run with a debt-free mind set. Meng continues to follow his passion and spends a good deal of time away from the office in October and November, when whitetail deer season is at its peak.

Further expansion plans include adding new states and the expected launch of a new Web site in July 2011.

The new site will include more user friendly features, a new online hunting gear store, and a photo gallery for hunters to download photos.

Base Camp Leasing provides a free information packet and quote on what the land would lease for with no contractual obligation. When the land is leased, Basecamp retains a fee and forwards the balance to the landowner. Base Camp makes it easy for the landowner since the legal contracts and paperwork involved in leasing the property are all handled by the company.

100th birthday celebration for Cornell Cooperative Extension Cornell Cooperative Extension Dutchess County is celebrating the 100th anniversary of the Cornell Cooperative Extension’s (CCE) creation in New York State. The birthday party will begin on July 21 with a 5 p.m.

Centennial Kick-off reception at the Frances Lehman Loeb Art Center at Vassar College.

4-H volunteers, county legislators, environmentalists, agronomists, nutrition experts, and consumer educators will all gather to honor the century old simple, practical idea that connects the knowledge, resources and research of Cornell University with the people of New York.

The public is invited to the kick-off party, which will be held on a Thursday evening when the museum extends gallery hours until 9 p.m. and the public can explore the museum’s collections and exhibitions after the event.

Celebrating 100 Years of One Great Idea!

The seed for Cornell Cooperative Extension was planted in 1862, when President Abraham Lincoln created the concept of the land-grant university with the help of Ezra Cornell, Cornell University’s founder. By 1876 Cornell professors began their first “extension work” working with regional farmers to help them solve the agricultural challenges of the day. A century ago, in 1911, the first official Extension in New York’s Broome County opened and by 1918, Extension offices were established across New York State. While the Extension’s early decades emphasized agriculture, as the country changed the

Extension’s educational mission grew to address environmental concerns, agricultural sustainability, nutrition and consumer education. Each year the educational programs of CCEDC touch the lives of over 10,000 Dutchess county residents with the assistance of over a 1,000 volunteers.

Centennial Fund Raising Campaign The CCEDC’s programs are supported by county, state and federal dollars.

As budgets tighten the CCEDC is moving toward greater reliance on grants and private donations. Fundraising activities are planned at our booth during the Dutchess County Fair in August where the Extension’s 4-H clubs will be showing their prized livestock and yearlong projects. CCEDC will also be having a sponsored walk on the Walkway Over The Hudson on Oct. 7.

For more information about this event or CCE contact 845-677-8223 ext. 137 or nm62@cornell.edu .

Trip down the lane A few days ago, I was finally able to take my spring trip down the lane on the lawnmower. The puddles were almost all dried up so I had a nice time, until I suddenly realized that there weren’t any animals. Even the birds were hiding some-

place in the trees and not one bird was fluttering around over my head.

The noise of the lawn mower never bothered them before, so maybe I was just thinking too much.

I drove all the way down to the picnic area at the hickory tree, and still

growing sturdy and strong so far. I think our daughter will be pleased as long as the raccoons and woodchucks stay their distance. But we aren’t planning on that.

On the Fourth of July we had a cook out down at the hickory tree with our 20 year old granddaughter and some of her friends. Later that evening we made a quick trip back down there, just to be sure that the fire was out.

All of the way down and back, we were overwhelmed with all the fireflies flying along beside

us. Then we finally started to notice all the wildlife; a deer was taking a cool evening drink at the pond, and all the birds had come out along with the turkeys, squirrels, woodchucks, pheasants, and raccoons. Must be that they like the cooler evening temperatures too.

On a high note; a healthy great grandson came into our world the other night. Around one a.m. we received the news that he had arrived and

mother and baby were doing just fine. But it was quite awhile before we were able to drift off back to sleep, just too much excitement for us great grandparents. He missed our anniversary by one hour, but we don’t really care much about the date and time as long as he is safe and sound.

Praise him for the growing fields, for they display his greatness. (Psalms 96:12a) TLB

nothing. Not a baby fox or a turkey or a pheasant, not one sign. I couldn’t help but wonder what had happened to all our wildlife. I slowly turned around and headed back, this was strange. Even the birds had disappeared; this had never happened before. I retraced my trip down the lane and still nothing; not even a bullfrog staring at me in the pond.

I drove over the old bridge to check out the sweet corn patch. It looked pretty good, no tassels as of yet, but

The Moo News Newsletter of Penn Dutch Cow Care

by Hubert J. Karreman Hi Folks, The past two weeks I attended two significant events which have provided me with very enriching life experience.

The first was the 10th International Herb Symposium (IHS) near Boston. The second was Horse Progress Days close to home here in Lancaster County.

The IHS workshops were mainly geared to human herb use and spanned the spectrum: from “looking at plants with new eyes,” spiritual agriculture, growing herbs, making herbal medicines to medicinal plant chemistry. This was the first year that the IHS had veterinary workshops.

Since I am pretty much maxed out about medicinal plant chemistry, I decided to attend workshops on looking at plants in new ways. This means observing the shape, texture, structure, feel, taste, and the feeling you get by simply looking at a plant: its leaves, branches, buds, flowers and seeds. It doesn’t mean only remembering what is a plant is good for right away. It is to see a plant as it exists simply as itself. By taking a small bit of the leaf, no more than half the size of

your pinky finger nail, and placing it between your two upper and lower front teeth and slowly chewing it there for a couple minutes, we can get a sense whether it is being a cooling, bitter, sweet, salty, sour and/or mucilaginous (succulent) type plant. It is from these qualities that we can get a true feel for how the plant could act therapeutically — all without even knowing the name of the plant. By only sampling a tiny piece of leaf, even potentially toxic plants can be sampled safely (a slight constricting sensation begins to be noticed in your throat if a plant is toxic).

The keynote speaker, world famous mushroom researcher and grower, Paul Stamets, spoke on the role of mushroom mycelium (the vast underground runners of the mushrooms) in the environment and in human health. It is clear to me that mushroom mycelia are a subtle yet major component in living systems. It is due to mushroom mycelia that plants can be drought or heat resistant. They also are very potent medicines against small pox, avian flu and cancer. I believe that mushroom mycelia have been a major missing factor in agri-

cultural soils, plants and animals — including organic soils. Keep your eyes and ears open about mushroom mycelia into the future.

A workshop on spiritual agriculture was essentially about Biodynamic farming, the original form of organic agriculture which started in Europe in the 1920s. It recognizes and embraces the non-visible living aspects of all forms of life on a farm. It emphasizes the farm as its own organism, relying on the subtle yet lively interplay between the life of the soil, air, plants and animals.

Biodynamic agriculture strongly emphasizes having a diversity of livestock on a farm — keeping not only cows, but also pigs, chickens, sheep, goats — each type of life adding in

to make the whole farm organism that much more radiant and alive.

While tractors are used in Biodynamics, many small holder Biodynamic farmers use horse powered implements.

The second event which made a big impact on me was Horse Progress Days held here in Lancaster County.

This is a major event showcasing the latest in draft horse power farming. This year was the first time they offered a class for beginners in how to harness, hitch and drive draft horses. I

decided to sign up for it.

While I am thoroughly a cow person, all those beautiful draft horses I see farmers use here for plowing, haying, and harvesting have always impressed me.

And though I have done emergency care for horses as a vet, I have always been hesitant around the equine species, mainly because I haven’t been able to “read” them.

But due to the class, any hesitation I had has now turned into interest and enthusiasm for these beautiful and powerful animals. Truly, a new

world has opened up!

Through the wonderful teaching style of Ferman Wengerd (of the Pioneer draft farm machinery company in Ohio) and Kim Hadwin from Ontario (a former dairy farmer) us four students got top notch personalized training. One of the best parts was when Ferman was talking about horse psychology and behavior. With his natural horsemanship technique, a really nervous and prancing 18 hand high, huge Belgian quieted down within about 20-30 minutes. He was

then very easy to work with the rest of the day.

To see Ferman calmly work with this huge upset horse and the peaceful outcome took away any hesitation about horses I’ve ever had.

That was the same for the other three students as well.

So often we feel that we MUST be in control of the situation, no matter what. Well, there are various ways to gain control — but through which method? The idea of working WITH the horse, like Ferman’s method of letting him first have his

feet to dance around a little and giving him a little line, yet bumping or jerking the line as needed obviously worked for everyone’s good (the horse and us). There were a couple other trainers, like Rick Wheat of Arkansas and Andrew Beiler of Bird-In-Hand locally that also had similar at-ease approaches.

But one trainer was very harsh. When watching him I could see real fear in the eyes of the horses.

The person appeared to have no respect or care whatsoever for any horse — he smugly, violently and proudly broke the spirit of each horse presented to him. It was obvious that this kind of technique is dead wrong.

The natural horsemanship technique of Ferman Wengerd showed a care and compassion for these large animals that enabled both man and animal to interact quite well together. In one event in the main arena, a pair of riders showed how well they work with their horses by doing very delicate maneuvers — only possible by a very close and sensitive relationship between man and animal.

What do the events at the Herb Symposium and the Horse Progress Days have in common?

These two events have been part of a personal learning time for me that

has focused on the connection between me and other forms of God’s creation of life, both obvious and subtle. It is clear to me that the only way agriculture can benefit the world completely is if we can connect and blend ourselves — in a positive and caring way — with all life in our midst. Do we always need to be in control and doing something TO the soil life, plant life or animal life? Shouldn’t we also look at what we can do FOR them on a daily basis, things that enrich all forms of life on the farm? This is also Biblical — fallowing the land (let it rest and reseed itself) and having regard for the life of our animals. Certainly connecting animals to plants directly by grazing is critical. We must reverse the “disconnect” of mainstream agriculture — keeping animals indoors away from the land: constantly bringing feed to them, hardly any of it fresh and alive. Each and every part of total confinement agriculture leads to some kind of problem — problems for animals stuck inside on concrete or problems when all the concentrated anaerobic waste needs to be disposed of.

We can truly honor the plant and animal king-

by Karen Matthews, Associated Press NEW YORK (AP) — Dairy farmers who sell hand-crafted cheese at New York farmer’s markets say the state is taking the art and the ease out of artisanal cheese.

Under a new interpretation of food-processing regulations by the New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets, vendors at open-air stands must sell only pre-wrapped cheese, rather than cutting off a wedge from a wheel of cheddar or gouda.

Cheryl Huber, assistant director of New York City’s Greenmarket, which runs farmer’s markets in all five boroughs, said Greenmarket

learned of the reinterpretation last winter.

The rules say that open-air vendors can only slice their cheese to order if they have an enclosed space and a three-compartment sink with hot and cold running water.

“We have been in many conversations with the state and look forward to further discussion,” Huber said.

A spokeswoman for the Department of Agriculture and Markets, Jessica Ziehm, said Tuesday that the rule regarding open-air cheese sales has been on the books since the 1970s.

But cheese vendors insisted that inspectors have only recently started enforcing the rule, and they said it’s hurting their business.

“Who wants to buy prepackaged artisanal cheese?” said Eran Wajswol of Valley Shepherd Creamery in Long Valley, NJ, who sells at several New York farmer’s markets. “For us it was what I call a game ender.”

Wajswol said that after inspectors shut down his

stand at the Union Square Greenmarket last month, he tried prewrapping more than a dozen kinds of cheese.

“Sales were down 70 percent,” he said.

Then Wajswol tried to comply with the law by trucking in a sink with hot and cold water powered by electricity. But, he said, city officials shut off the power in Union Square. So now Valley Shepherd is bringing a generator to heat the water.

Other vendors are wrapping their cheese in plastic even though, they say, plastic is bad for the cheese.

“The cheese quality goes down the drain within 12 hours,” said Jody Somers of Dancing Ewe Farm in Granville, N.Y. “Our customers are really unhappy with the whole plastic prepackaged cheese.”

Jonathan White of Bobolink Dairy and Bakehouse in Milford, NJ said he sent an email to regular Greenmarket customers “apologizing for the loss of cheese intimacy.”

“All I can do is apologize and then comply,” he said.

Cooperatives Working Together members support two-year commitment at 70 percent of production, starting in 2012, to assist dairy producers The members of Cooperatives Working Together reiterated their support for a multi-year program to help boost U.S. dairy exports, and thus help improve the economics of dairy farmers, with the stipulation that the program must be supported by 70 percent of the nation’s milk supply.

At a meeting in Virginia, the farmer -run committee overseeing CWT voted to renew the program for two years, starting in January 2012 and running through December 2013 — once a 70 percent level participation level can be reached. Current membership pledges amount to 68 percent of the milk supply.

“Cooperatives Working Together remains an incredibly important selfhelp tool for the nation’s dairy producers. The members of CWT want to keep it going into the future because it helps farmers access the fastest-growing markets for their milk, which are overseas,” said Jerry Kozak, President and CEO of NMPF, which manages CWT. “We fully expect the producer and cooperative community see the value in supporting a program that benefits every dairy farmer and that we will achieve our goal.”

Since the start of 2011, the program has used funds carried over from the previous year to help export 39 million pounds of cheese, to 20 countries. The renewal effort will ensure that the program will have new revenue coming in from its members starting next year to further bolster the export activities funded by CWT. The CWT program no longer funds herd retirements or cow removals, and will focus exclusively on assisting member organizations with dairy exports. Kozak noted that the export market “has been incredibly helpful to farmers in

finding new homes for their milk output, but the loss of export markets in 2008 and 2009 illustrated what can happen when we aren’t able to compete internationally. That’s why CWT is so critical — it gives us a privately-run and funded enterprise that makes U.S. dairy exports competitive in global markets.”

Kozak said an exportfocused CWT program is an important complement to the proposed economic restructuring of dairy policy embodied by the reforms proposed in NMPF’s Foundation for the Future program (the details of which can be found at www.futurefordairy.com). With approximately 15 percent of the nation’s milk production headed for exports markets in 2011, “CWT will work in tan-

dem with policy changes we want Congress to adopt to ensure that America’s dairy farmers continue to have the ability to access and

benefit from growing world demand for U.S. dairy products.”

Kozak said at the next meeting of the CWT operating committee, in

mid-November, the membership participation level will be assessed to verify that the 70 percent participation level has been reached.

The two cent membership dues will subsequently start being collected in January 2012.

by Elizabeth A. Tomlin After more than 7 years of dormancy, the Dairy Princess program in Schoharie County has been revived, joining the ranks of other New York State counties in the popular dairy promotion program.

“The County has not had a Dairy Princess in more than 7 years,” said

Agricultural Marketing Specialist Michele Strobeck of Schoharie County Planning and Development. “A small committee has reformed, and organized the Coronation to coincide with the 12th Annual Dairy-Berry Festival.”

Schoharie County’s Dairy and Berry Festival is a special event spon-

sored by the Festival Farmers’ Market and is held in the Veteran’s Memorial Park in Cobleskill (formerly known as Centre Park).

The ‘Dairy-Berry’ featured vendors, live music, Schoharie Llamas, and a variety of dairy displays. In addition to the Dairy Princess Coronation, winners of the

The newly formed Schoharie Dairy Promotion Committee consists of members, Chairperson Lisa Stanton, former Dairy Princess Sarah Blood, Jessica DeSormeau, Michele Strobeck, and Advisor Debbie Stanton — also a former Dairy Princess.

Sandra Prokop, Director of the New York Farm Bureau Foundation for Agricultural Education, was emcee for the event.

“It’s great to see so many people here for this reinvigoration of our Schoharie County Dairy Promotion Committee,” Prokop said. “It’s going to do many good things.

It’s a win-win situation, not only for the industry, for the county, and for the community, but for the girls that are involved in the program because when you see them today, and you see them during the year, the growth in their talents and in their expertise will amaze you!”

Section A - Page 20 July 18, 2011 • Let Them Know You Read COUNTRY FOLKS •

Coronation from A19 views, the Judges and the Candidates made their way to the Dairy and Berry Festival where they interacted with the public and handed out milk and dairy promotional materials. Introductions of the candidates, and speeches began at noon.

Brittany Hagadorn, the daughter of James and Debra Hagadorn, was crowned 2011-2012 Schoharie County Dairy Princess. Brittany, an honor student at the Cobleskill-Richmondville High School, lives on her family’s farm. “My family have been dairy farmers for more than 50 years in Schoharie County,” Brit-

tany said. “I have seen their passion, strength, and commitment pass from generation to generation. Their knowledge, care, and love for their land and their animals is matched only by their love for each other. I hope to share some of this with others and help them understand and appreciate dairy products and the dairy industry as I do.”

2011-2012 Alternate Joelene Mercer, a senior at Middleburgh Central School, is the daughter of Duane and Mary Mercer, of Middleburgh, NY. She lives on her family’s dairy farm, is an active member of the Milking Mani-

acs 4-H Club, and has received many awards as a member of the Schoharie Valley FFA. The Coronation ceremony also included honored guest speaker Congressman Paul Tonko (D-NY 21). “I want to acknowledge your parents,” Tonko said to the Dairy Princess and her Court. “What a proud moment knowing that they have raised sound, young people who are to be our next generation of workers and leaders.”

Tonko also addressed the audience and spoke about dairy production.

“The farming industry and the dairy industry is more than a business,” Tonko said. “It’s a way of life.”

“Special thanks go to Donna Olsen, Schoharie County’s Festival Farmers’ Market Manager, and Dairy Berry Festival Organizer, for allowing us to be a huge part of this year’s Dairy-Berry Festival,” said Strobeck.

Congressman Paul Tonko questions Schoharie llama farm owner John Conboy, about raising llamas in upstate New York.

Once a year Quality Milk (Cornell University) in Ithaca, NY, recognizes dairy producers who go beyond expectations and reward them with a “Super Milk” sign to hang on their barns. This is not to say farmers who do not have this sign are inferior, only that the “Super Milk” achievers attain quality counts above expectation.

There are a few dairy farmers out there that have achieved this honor

for 20 consecutive years which reflects true dedication in maintaining super quality, for such a long time. Two dairies that deserve extra recognition for this feat have two totally different types of operations, which goes to show that big or small, super quality is attainable.

Robinson Farms in LaFargeville, NY, got its start in 1944 when grandfather Wilfred Robinson and his wife

Beulah moved from their dairy farm in Canada to pursue a career as a cheesemaker for Crowley Foods. When Wilfred retired from Crowleys in 1962, he formed a partnership with his son Harry and daughter-inlaw Barbara to expand their family’s dairy herd in LaFargeville. Harry and Barbara also expanded their family and went on to have nine children, all of whom helped on the farm in

some way. In 1973, two sons formed a partnership with their dad and for 38 years David (L ynette) and Michael (Stephanie) Robinson went through the trials and tribulations of growing and maintaining a successful dairy farm.

Since Harry’s death in 1993, Barbara continues her role as the farm’s bookkeeper. Today the Robinsons milk 120

cows in a conventional dairy barn.

Scholten Dairy — Jacob Scholten was a baker by trade in Holland. His younger brother went to America and soon convinced Jacob to join him. In 1953, with a suitcase and his wife, Ada, Jacob made the journey to the United States. He developed an allergy and could not continue on as a baker. Jacob had some background in working on dairy farms so he decided to switch careers and milk cows. His first dairy was in Orange County, NY, milking around 50 cows. In 1970, he and Ada decided to move their family of four boys to a farm in Middlebury, VT, where they farmed for seven years milking in a conventional barn with 60 plus cows until Middlebury College asked if they could buy the farm. Being a shrewd businessman, Jacob agreed

and in 1977 they moved once again to the former Crego farm in Baldwinsville, NY. When Jacob decided to retire in 1991, three of his sons — Arie (Piels), John and Wayne — went on to form a partnership. Along with their sons, Jacob and Ada’s grandchildren also help out on the farm, hoping eventually the next generation will carry on their tradition. They eventually expanded, from milking 80 cows, to a larger parlor milking 350 cows twice daily.

Robinson Farm and Scholten Dairy are being honored for attaining “Super Milk” quality for 20 consecutive years which is quite impressive. Key factors for both farms in producing “Super Milk” are cow comfort (bedding twice a day and mats), herd health and

The company will also fund an FFA grant program that will provide resources to FFA members with financial needs to help them successfully complete FFA-required supervised agricultural experiences. Dean Foods Foundation will also sponsor an FFA scholarship program designed to support collegiate students in pursuit of careers in the agriculture industry.

“Dean Foods Foundation believes in supporting local communities and their people by supporting organizations that, among other things, promote responsible agriculture,” said Robert K. Cooper, executive director

of the National FFA Foundation. “Its support of FFA will help us engage thousands of students as they develop skills and knowledge in the areas of dairy cattle evaluation and dairy foods production.”

As an FFA sponsor, Dean Foods Foundation will share its knowledge of the dairy industry, food science, animal welfare and responsible agriculture and engage FFA members and advisors at the local, regional and national levels.

“We are proud to support FFA in encouraging tomorrow’s leaders in dairy, agriculture and food processing,” said Evan Kinser, senior director of milk supply at Dean Foods. “This grant allows us to share our resources, knowledge and expertise to help students contribute to the future of the dairy, food and agriculture industries.”

Dean Foods continues its longstanding commitment to agriculture, procuring milk from 12,000 dairy farmers across the United States. The company works closely with farmers to reduce on-farm environmental impacts, seek improved dairy policies, and advocate for proper care of dairy cows. In addition, Dean Foods buys large quantities of soybeans, almonds, sugar and other agricultural products. The company partners with a number of organizations to nurture farming communities, which helps strengthen local economies, ensures a safe, healthful food supply and provides sustainable livelihoods for many U.S. farmers.

Both of these dairies are current member/ owners of Agri-Mark Inc., makers of the award winning cheese brands Cabot and McCadam.

If either of these farms is your neighbor, please stop in and congratulate them on a job well done.

When you’re driving around and see a farmer out working in his field, wave or stop and say hello. Our farming industry is fast disappearing before our eyes and we need to support the ones that are still willing to do that hard work that puts food on our tables. If we don’t support our local farmers, whether they are big or small, who knows where our food will eventually come from.

If this article does not hit the papers in June, do not despair, July is even better! It is National Ice Cream Month, so do your part in supporting the dairy industry and have two or three a day!

July meeting dates, new registration fee structure announced HARRISBURG, PA — Agribusiness professionals can learn about dairy price recovery and its effects on their dairy producer clients at the July series of Dairy PROS meetings.

cellence. “At the July Dairy PROS meetings, the banking and agribusiness industries will share updates on how the dairy price recovery is playing out on individual dairy farms across the commonwealth.”

“When it’s time for me to leave this earth, I know I will be leaving my land better than how I found it,” stated fifth generation dairy farmer, William (Bill) Gleisner, “I value the tranquility and peacefulness of the land — and I want to keep it that way.”

After moving to the North Country in the late 1970s and purchasing farm land, Bill and brother Chuck have been farming together.

But now, they have done something more — they have protected their land, ensuring it will remain available for agricultural purposes, and

compatible uses, forever.

Fort Drum, Tug Hill Tomorrow Land Trust and Ducks Unlimited partnered with the Gleisner brothers through the Army Compatible Use Buffer (ACUB) program.

The purpose of the ACUB program is to limit use or development of property near the Fort Drum installation to agricultural and forestry uses. This minimizes encroachment while protecting conservation values and open space. Encroachment is defined here as urban development surrounding military installations that negatively affect the abil-

ity of the military to train realistically.

The ACUB program benefits the Army, as well as the land trust and the landowner. The Army maintains or enhances training capabilities, Tug Hill Tomorrow Land Trust protects open space, and the landowner is paid not to develop their land, and in this case, the landowners will continue to farm.

“The North Country is a special place, and it is partnerships like these that make Fort Drum so unique,” stated Michael H. McKinnon, Fort Drum Deputy Garrison Com-

mander. “From the early days when the 10th Mountain Division was activated, the North Country community embraced the military as one of its own. Today, the ACUB program continues in that same tradition and is a great example of neighbors working together to protect family farms, while preserving Fort Drum’s training capability well into the future.”

items and Emily had a booth in the youth fair tent where she played games with the kids and handed out prizes.

Emily talked with the kids and made sure they understood the importance of 3 every day of milk, cheese, and yogurt.

Emily also discussed the life of a farmer and how the farmers take good care of their land, environment, and animals.

And to everyone who she did not speak to, Emily would like to remind them all of the importance of making sure they get their dairy every day.

“Advancements in dairy cattle reproduction are continuously evolving, and the DCRC is proud to lead the charge of disseminating new information and helping dairy producers and veterinarians make effective

The Dairy Cattle Reproduction Council (DCRC) invites producers, veterinarians, nutritionists, academia and industry professionals to the 2011 annual DCRC meeting on Nov. 10–11 at the Hilton Kansas City Airport in Kansas City, MO. This year’s meeting will offer something for all attendees, including

on-farm reproductive decisions,” said 2011 DCRC President Dr. Matt Lucy. “This year’s meeting will examine a variety of core areas related to reproduction and allow all attendees to take home useable and relevant information.”

The industry’s best and brightest researchers, reproductive

experts, veterinarians, nutritionists and producers have been invited to present applicable information throughout the two-day program. In the program’s breakout session format, attendees will have the option to learn more about nutrition, artificial insemination and synchronization, reproductive man-

agement and heifer reproduction.

New this year, a unique session will be offered highlighting the industry’s newest technological advancements and their benefit to dairy cattle reproduction. Select Sires, AfiMilk and SCR will showcase their activity monitoring systems and how they benefit the dairy. This interactive session will also incorporate discussion with producers who currently use these technologies on their operations and the advantages provided by them.

Further information, including a full meeting agenda and registration information, can be found on the DCRC Web site at www.dcrcouncil.org. As the meeting approaches look for additional updates on the Web site, as well as on the DCRC Face-

book and Twitter pages.

Sub-optimal reproductive performance in the nation’s dairy industry has prompted leading industry stakeholders to be proactive in tackling this issue head-on. Academicians who focus on reproduction and allied industries that support the dairy industry joined forces to create the Dairy Cattle Reproduction Council to raise the level of knowledge on issues critical to enhanced reproductive performance.

The DCRC has established a stakeholder network and education platform to raise awareness of management techniques that can enhance reproduction on dairy operations. This effort targets dairy producers and the consultants who influence reproductive management.

Although Tryon had traveled to Belarus through CNFA’s program twice before — in addition to another trip to Ukraine — this visit gave him an opportunity to directly engage with Belarusian students similar to his own at SUNY Cobleskill.

“The first day I gave lectures, the students were a little apprehensive, understandably,” Tryon said. “Then the second day, they really started opening up. I showed them videos of my stu-

The Dairy One Improver

Understanding Somatic Cell Counts, “Bite by Bite”

by George Cudoc Q: How do you eat an elephant?

A: One bite at a time.

Anyone who has ever attended a business seminar, participated in a personal self-improvement program, or been given advice on problem solving has possibly been asked that question before. The answer invariably has a relaxing effect, letting the person open their mind to a solution comprised of many small but manageable steps. It draws them in, instilling resolve and belief that yes, they can deal with that “elephant in the room.”

Reaching your set milk quality and udder health goals as determined by Somatic Cell Counts (SCC) may be that “elephant” in the room. Herds that are the best equipped to deal with lowering SCC already test their cows on a monthly DHI program and have established check points across the herd using SCC data. Whether you are blessed with successful management strategies that produce low SCC milk and you want to get even better, or find yourself struggling to get below the 750K legal limit, improvements are most likely by the “one bite at a time” approach.

When we need immediate actions to reduce SCC, we can look at the Bulk Tank Contribution report.

The report ranks cows by the largest contribution of somatic cells to the total milk being produced.

Removal of those cows temporarily while treating or permanently through culling will have the fastest return for our actions. Actions on the first 3 cows below with contributions of 10% or greater certainly can improve milk quality the quickest.

After these immediate actions, we should ask ourselves what we need to do on an on-going basis to improve milk quality. We want to view current as well as historic information about our cows and herd to see if management changes can reduce the risk of cows having higher SCC. It is helpful to look at SCC by category to find those opportunities. For instance, new infections on fresh cows might need a different strategy than new infections during the lactation. Of the 12 highest SCC cows in the above report, only 1 happens to be a newly fresh cow. That is good news for the current month, but what about performance in the past? We can look at a graph of new infections as well as fresh infections to see where the most beneficial action plan would be.

New infections shown by the bars indicate that rates have been consistent between 5 and 12 percent. Studies show that it would be desirable to stay below 10%, and for the most part, this herd stays near that benchmark. On the other hand, we should stay below 20% infection rate for fresh cows, and it is obvious from the graph that we seldom reach that low of a percentage. SCC improvements are far more likely if we address the causes of the high percent infection rate in the fresh animals. It is interesting and often overlooked that not all SCC fixes are in the milking herd, yet that is the only place that we can measure SCC. Another bite of the SCC elephant is determining the likelihood that we can cure cows once we have identified those cows that are infected. If our efforts have been minimal at treating infected cows, do they cure themselves over time or do they become chronically infected? In the graph, to the right, we can see that for the past 3 test periods, the cure rate is improving and the percentage of cows being chronically infected is lowered by nearly half.

The chart below can be used for setting goals for your herd if you are interested in improving SCC levels. Listed are three primary focus areas where SCC can become a challenge. Keeping new infection levels below 10% monthly is best achieved by following good management practices for the milking herd. Proper milking procedures and reducing exposure to mastitis causing pathogens are keys to meeting this goal. Maintaining chronic infection rates less than 10% of the herd monthly requires identifying infected cows and quarters and knowing the right treatment protocol as determined by culture results. Cows infected when they calve or shortly thereafter less than 20% of the time requires success at the end of the previous lactation. Dry cow treatment to cure those infected cows before going dry and preventing new infections for uninfected cows is a good start to achieving this goal. Sound management to maintain clean and healthy cows and prepare them to calve successfully with few problems will also help meet this goal.

Anyone who has ever experienced the challenge of a high Somatic Cell Count can relate to the unpleasantness of milking infected cows. Just about all dairies have set goals to lower SCC at one time or another.

Whether the purpose is to meet the legal guidelines to sell milk or capture milk quality payments for low SCC, every dairy can benefit from approaching the challenge of lowering SCC with a step-by-step plan that is “Eating the elephant, one bite at a time.”

Are high grain prices temporary or permanent?

The good news is that milk prices have been increasing and in 2011 will average well above 2010 levels. The bad news (for dairy farmers) is that feed prices have been heading in the same direction, though at a much faster pace.

We can get stirred up about high fertilizer prices, but compared to feed prices fertilizer is a rather modest part of dairy farm operating costs. As we’ve noted before, $8 corn and $15 soybeans almost certainly will not become normal, but when grain prices do decline they’re unlikely to return to the levels farmers have been accustomed to.

The reasons for high grain prices are both short- and long-term: First, supplies are at ex-

Professor from A33 dents and they were interested to see them and understand them. They’re all in the same shoes.”

As his primary objective, Tryon met with Belarusian State Agricultural Academy (BSAA) students to give various presentations on U.S. dairy cattle management with special attention to the best practices in feeding, production, breeding, and more. BSAA, a national leader in agricultural education, first partnered with CNFA in 2010 after seeing the success of the Farmer-toFarmer program.

“I just enjoy, as an educator, helping other people and helping spread the word about agriculture in (the United States),” added Tryon. “If I can help share some of that with other people, I’m happy to do that. I find people pretty interested and wanting to learn and move forward, and that’s a good thing.”

Throughout the trip, Tryon was able to reach out to more than 100 students through various presentations and talks.

He connected with many others linked to the Belarusian dairy industry, from farmers to dairy industry officials, presented at the 2011 Belarus Dairy Forum: Trends, Promotion and Export, on May 6, and led a lively roundtable discussion on challenges and opportunities in the Belarusian dairy industry.

tremely low levels. The world’s grain “cupboard” is almost bare — historically so. The response to this short-term problem (supply) will be increased acreage planted to grain crops. But the long-term problem is demand: Increased demand for food and feed grains — which to some extent are interchangeable — because of an ever-growing world population, and because as people become even slightly more affluent they want to eat more meat. It’s less efficient to produce a pound of meat by feeding grain than by eating the grain itself, but the vegan lifestyle appeals to only a tiny portion of the world population. A veggie burger may be a “PETA person’s” ideal meal but not to folks in developing

countries. So, more folks will be consuming more meat, and probably more dairy products, too. That explains why 50 percent of the world’s hog population is in China.

Given this scenario, the profitability of the dairy industry will increasingly depend on its ability to make cows convert forages into milk, with somewhat reduced dependence on grains.

“Feeding grain with a snow shovel” will be an increasingly poor road to profitability. And the higher the forage quality, the more forage a cow can consume and therefore the less grain she’ll need. This has always been true, but changes here in the U.S. and globally will make forage quality even more important in 2011 and in the

feeling in the “trade” that significant volumes of cheese are sold on the basis of “the average of the previous month”.

The average June CME price was clearly over $2.00 per pound while May’s price is some 40 cents lower, he wrote. “That means the price for such customers will be much higher starting July 1. There just has to be an explanation something like this that will shed light on why block (and barrel) prices seem to be defying the apparent fundamentals. Cheese sales

Mielke from B1 have been good but if much of the cheese is being purchased to beat the price increase, we may well see a change of fortunes this next week,” he warned.

The international market isn’t helping as prices continued to soften in Fonterra’s July 5 Global Dairy Trade auction. The CME’s Daily Dairy Report said the weighted average price for skim milk powder fell to $1.68 per pound, down 15 percent from June 1 and the lowest since January. The whole milk powder price, at $1.65 per pound, was

down 4 percent from a month earlier, and the lowest since December.

The anhydrous milkfat price was $2.39 per pound, down 7 percent from a month ago, and the lowest since last October.

Spot butter closed Friday at $2.03, down a penny on the week, but 26 3/4-cents above a year ago. Only one car was sold all week. NASS butter averaged $2.0887, down 3.9 cents.

Butter is still moving offshore, according to FC Stone dairy economist Bill Brooks, and “that will keep the mar-

ket tight for a little while,” but he predicts it will eventually back up and “we’ll start to see price declines in the U.S. market.”

Cash Grade A nonfat dry milk held all week at $1.6250 and Extra Grade remained at $1.61. NASS powder averaged $1.6638, up a half-cent, and dry whey averaged 54.76 cents, up 1.7 cents. Over 40 percent of U.S. powder is exported.

The Agriculture Department’s May Dairy Products report put butter output at 155.9 mil-

lion pounds, down 1.8 percent from April, but 18.3 percent above May 2010. Nonfat dry milk, at 147.7 million pounds, was up 1 percent from April, but down 4.6 percent from a year ago.

American type cheese production totaled 371.2 million pounds, up 3.9 percent from April, but 0.1 percent below a year ago. Cheddar output was lower for the fourth month in a row, according to Bill Brooks, who says “That could be tempering the decline in

VERONA, NY — During a recent tour across the state on his People First campaign, Governor Andrew Cuomo stopped at Mohawk Valley Community College to present ideas and issues affecting New Yorkers. After his presentation, eight student members of the Vernon-Verona-Sherrill (VVS) FFA had an opportunity to personally meet the Governor.

While on his stop, the Governor spoke for about 45 minutes on three major topics — marriage equality, property tax caps, and ethics in government. The FFA members were very interested in what the Governor had to say and how it impacts them. VVS FFA post-graduate member Nikki Schiebel, who recently completed her freshman year at SUNY Plattsburgh as a Political

Science major, was impressed by the Governor’s remarks. “He makes many valid points that few could argue with,” she stated, “I really enjoyed listening to him.” Cuomo cited numerous examples and comparisons throughout his presentation to defend his position on the three major issues.

After his presentation, the Governor took a moment to shake each students’ hand and pose for a photo.

For the high school students, it was a tremendous opportunity to meet the Governor in person and experience first-hand the development of public policy. Several of the FFA members in attendance have previously traveled to Albany and met with state legislators as part of their agriculture studies.

South Lewis FFA member earns state level recognition On May 6, Lyndsay Snyder, a student at South Lewis Central School, was elected to the office of New York State Sentinel at the 86th

annual New York State FFA Convention in Cobleskill. The position, termed New York State Line Officer, is one of the six highest offices a

student can earn on the state level.

The position of a state officer is an achievement available to juniors and seniors in high school as

2011 Empire Swine Youth Scholarship Contest In 2010, 36 youth benefited from the Empire Swine Youth Scholarship Contest. The program involves the youth selecting an animal, caring for the animal to market size and then exhibiting it at State Fair. As part of the project the youth keeps records on his project and gains knowledge through a youth swine handbook. At State Fair all pigs are scanned by ultrasound for loin eye size and back fat. These measurements are given to each youth participant so that he can compare the live animal to the ultrasound results. Also at State Fair each youth participates in a written knowledge review and an interview where his experiences raising his pig and his knowledge gained from the handbook are tested. Part of the contest also involves a judging contest where the youth evaluates a class of market hogs and a class of breeding gilts. Finally the youth are judged on their showmanship abilities and the pig is judged on its meat value. The results of all of these areas are then combined. Many awards are given in each area and the awards ceremony is an exciting and fun event for all participants. Last year with your donations we were able to award over $5,600 in

scholarships and many other awards to these hardworking young swine exhibitors.

New York Pork Producers has the administrative responsibility for the program. We are asking that you support this endeavor financially. It is necessary to raise funds to support these youth scholarships. Donors in the Gold, Silver, Bronze and Contributor levels will receive tickets and parking passes to the New York State Fair for the Awards Ceremony.

The deadline for donations is Aug. 1. Contributions received after the Aug. 1 deadline will be applied to future contests.

Gold Sponsorships are $1000, Silver $500, Bronze $250 and Contributor $100. However any level of support for this worthy program would be greatly appreciated.

Questions may directed to Charlie Miller, 585-547-3676 or Mike Hargrave 585-534-5382.

Donations should be made payable to New York Youth Scholarship Contest and mailed to New York Pork Producers, PO Box 124, Fayette NY 13065 Empire Swine Youth Scholarship Committee: Charlie & Laurie Miller, Mike & Karen Hargrave, and Ed Brayman.

Mielke from B2 spot cheese prices” but he still expects cheese prices to “continue to work their way lower.”

Italian type cheese totaled 393.6 million, up 2.2 percent from April, and 6.6 percent above a year ago, with mozzarella output totaling 308.9 million pounds, up 2.9 percent from April, and 5.1 percent above a year ago.

Total cheese production amounted to 915.2 million pounds, up 3.8 percent from April, and 3.9 percent above a year ago.

Some of that cheese will be leaving us. The Cooperatives Working Together program accepted six requests this week for export assistance from Dairy Farmers of America and Bongards

Creamery to sell a total of 2.5 million pounds of Cheddar cheese to customers in the Middle East, North Africa, and Central America. The product will be delivered through November and raised CWT’s 2011 cheese exports to 48.6 million pounds.

Speaking of exports; Dairy Profit Weekly (DPW) editor Dave Natzke reports that a better year for U.S. dairy exports was mirrored in individual state totals for fiscal year (FY) 2010.

The latest estimates from USDA’s Economic Research Service shows Wisconsin remains number 1, with export sales estimated at $712 million. California is number 2 at $705.7 million.

Those two states alone saw the value

of dairy exports improve from about $953 million in FY 2009 to $1.4 billion in FY 2010, an increase of $465 million or 49 percent.

New York was third at $288.3 million, followed by Idaho at $208.2 million, New Mexico at $177.8 million; Minnesota at $153 million; Pennsylvania at

$121.9 million; Ohio at $60 million; Iowa at $59 million; and South Dakota at $58.2 million. Overall FY 2010 U.S. dairy exports increased 48 percent compared to FY 2009, an increase of $1.12 billion, according to Natzke.

Natzke reported in Friday’s DairyLine that the U.S. and Mexico have resolved a trucking dispute that could eliminate a threat to some U.S. cheese and dairy product exports to that country. Under the plan, Mexico will reduce import tariffs on cheese and other products by 50 percent. The tariffs were imposed following a ruling that the U.S. had failed to comply with North American Free Trade Agreement provisions by applying restrictions on Mexican truck movement into the U.S. The remaining tariffs will be removed when the program be-

comes permanent. The higher tariffs had threatened U.S. access to Mexican markets, the largest importer of U.S. dairy products.

Seasonal declines in farm milk production due to emerging summer weather prevails across most of the country, according to USDA, but comfortable climate conditions in the northwest are helping sustain milk production above last year’s level in that region. Component values in farm milk are trending lower. Fluid milk demands are lower as schools reduce hours or close for the summer.

California’s August

Class I milk price was announced by the California Department of Food and Agriculture at $23.24 per hundredweight (cwt.) for the north and $23.51 for the south. Both are up 86 cents from July, are $5.91 above August 2010, and equate to about $2.00 and $2.02 per gallon respectively.

The northern price average now stands at $20.27 per cwt., up from $16.38 at this time a year ago. The southern price average is $20.54, up from $16.65 a year ago. The Federal order Class I base price is announced by the USDA on July 22.

Looking “back to the futures;” the Federal order Class III contract’s average for the last half of 2011 was $17.64 per hundredweight on May 6, $17.49 on May 13, $18.22 on May 20, $18.39 on May 27, $18.72 on June 3, $18.34 on both June 10 and June 17, $18.21 on June 24 and $18.19 on July 1.

Last week I reported that USDA’s crop acreage report indicated an unexpected big jump in U.S. corn acreage which sent futures prices lower and lent hope to dairy farmers on getting a break in feed prices. DPW warns that hope may be shortlived as those lower

prices brought foreign buyers back to the U.S. market, pulling prices back up this week. Recent USDA and California Department of Agriculture reports indicate feed prices were the primary reason for higher dairy farmer production costs so far in 2011, according to DPW. Another factor in high feed prices of course is ethanol production. DPW reports that the federal law that helped jump-start the U.S. ethanol industry is also shifting normal supply-and-demand forces within commodities markets, according to Purdue University agricultural economist Wally Tyner.

“Since the Energy Independence and Security Act in 2007, markets

are struggling to meet both the law’s renewable fuels standard and grain demands from the livestock, food and export sectors,” Natzke said.

About 27 percent of the nation’s corn crop must be devoted to ethanol this year to meet the federal mandate, leaving other corn users to compete for the remaining 73 percent.

U.S. Senators Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.), John Thune (R-S.D.) and Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) announced a bipartisan agreement to end the existing 45 cent per gallon Volumetric Ethanol Excise Tax Credit on July 31, 2011, instead of the current expiration date of Dec. 31, 2011.

Mielke from B13 The agreement would dedicate twothirds of the savings from existing money, $1.3 billion, to debt reduction and the remaining $668 million to renewable fuel incentives. The compromise can now be considered by the full Senate.

In dairy politics; leaders of International Dairy Foods Association (IDFA) member companies converged on Capitol Hill last month for their annual Washington Conference. At a leadership breakfast, attendees heard from Ranking House Agriculture Committee Member Colin Peterson and Reid Ribble, a freshman Congressman from Wisconsin and member of the committee.

IDFA’s Peggy Armstrong reported details in Wednesday’s DairyLine and said Representative Peterson urged IDFA members to continue to work with producers on dairy policy reform in the 2012 Farm Bill.

And, while the executives were receptive to Peterson, Armstrong said the message they shared with him and their respective Members of Congress was that they cannot support programs that “increase the amount of government regulations and interference into markets.”

In more than 100 meetings with congressional leaders and staff, IDFA members explained why they oppose National Milk’s Foundation for the Future proposal (FFTF), Armstrong re-

ported. She charged that the FFTF’s Dairy Market Stabilization Program would “discourage and impede the growth of U.S. dairy production and processing.”

An economic analysis shows the proposal will “cause exports to decline, imports to increase and milk prices to be more volatile,” Armstrong said, and “the proposal will actually stop the dairy industry from capturing new international markets at a time when Congress and the President agree that exports are essential for job growth here at home.”

Representative Ribble called attendees “the nation’s job creators,” according to Armstrong, who cited estimates showing that approximately 20,000 new jobs were created in the last decade by dairy export growth, a growth that, she said, continues today.

She gave Leprino Foods as an example. The company is building a new cheese facility in Greeley, Colorado that is expected to produce 500 new jobs and Colorado dairy farmers are expected to add 80,000 cows to their herds to double current milk production to supply the facility, according to Armstrong.

Meanwhile; National Milk begins its 12-stop “Grassroots Tour” to talk with dairy producers about their “Foundation for the Future” package. The first stop was July 12 in Olympia, Wash-

ington. The second is Visalia, California on July 13, Lubbock, Texas on July 18, Alexandria, Minnesota on July 20, Dubuque, Iowa on July 21, Lansing Michigan on July 26, Green

Bay, Wisconsin on July 27, and Stevens Point, Wisconsin on July 28.

by Ann Swanson Learning about life with dolls Back in the days when I grew up dolls were simply toys that let us venture into the world of pretend. It was good to pretend. It was an escape from real life that was relaxing.

My dolls were well cared for. They spent their life in an upstairs

extra bedroom at my grandmother’s and grandfather’s house.

Grandma insisted that I keep my dolls clothed.

Sometimes after I had company I was the one who had to get the dolls back in shape.

First I had a small doll buggy that my grandfather made for me. I took my “babies” for rides up

My favorite doll as a youngster was one with a composition head and cloth body. I called her my “Beppy” doll but I am not sure why. Her eyes opened and shut and she cried because of a little box inside her tummy when she was put down. One day my friend dropped Beppy on the sidewalk as we were playing. I was devastated. Even though I had other baby dolls, Beppy was my favorite one.

Children today grow up too soon. While I appreciate the place for sports, I see participating in sports as forcing

children to grow up too soon. There is no time for pretending. They are into producing for the sport or sports that they choose. I believe they are missing out on an important part of life. Pretending is escaping. They participate in parallel play with an imaginary entity. There is no pressure like there is in sports. They are allowed to be children for a longer period of time.

Girls were not the only ones who pretended. The boys played with toy soldiers and cowboy and Indian paraphernalia.

There was an innocence to that period of time that does not exist for many children today.

Pretending did not disappear with my generation. My children also enjoyed the world of make believe. They played with a “Chiperoo Bunkhouse” that provided hours of fun.

They chased each other

in cowboy outfits complete with cap guns.

They had model horses with cowboys and Indians to ride them.

Our children were content to be at home. They played with each other.

They took picnic lunches out into the pasture.

They made houses and offices between bushes and trees. They picked wild berries for a snack while they played. They did not beg for friends to come over. Their play was a self-contained thing where they were comfortable. Of course, they welcomed the visits by their cousins.

They played with the toy tractors and machinery. A lot of “field work” was done in the lawn and on the oval braided rug.

Encourage the young ones to pretend. It is very calming.

A View from Hickory Heights

and down the street.

Grandpa used some old wheels that he had and added a wooden box with a half cover for a top. I never realized that my doll buggy was not like the rest of the girls in the neighborhood. My buggy was special because grandpa made it for me.

When I got too tall for the little buggy, Santa brought me a new one.

There are pictures of me with both of these buggies in the family archives. The small buggy went to my girl cousins but I think I sold the larger one when I no longer wanted to use it.

ter Conservation District In 1988, Mike Johnston moved his wife, children and 100 bee hives from Redding, CA, where he worked for the U.S. Forest Service and a commercial beekeeper to settle in the hamlet of Eaton, NY, to start another chapter in their lives. Back then, according to Mike, “Burger King was paying more for flipping hamburgers than conservation work in the field.” Despite this, he found passion in working for the citizens of Madison County and the Soil and Water Conservation District. He has said over the past 23 years if he could find a solution to the stream bank erosion in DeRuyter and on Limestone Creek he would retire. As of June 30, the prophecy has been realized.

At a recent luncheon, friends and conservation partners remembered and celebrated the many facets of his service to area farms and municipalities. He founded and led the annual Madison County Conservation Field Day for youngsters, chaired the Madison County Water Quality Committee, designed and implemented conservation projects and drainage tile on farms, sized culverts and reten-

Join other progressive dairy executives from across the U.S. in a unique dairy business leadership and management program The Cornell Dairy Executive Program is now accepting applications for its latest class, to begin in December 2011. This unique educational opportunity, organized by the PRO-DAIRY Program at Cornell University, is designed to provide progressive dairy executives and agriservice personnel the opportunity to increase their leadership and management skills that are necessary to run a successful business.

Timely topics in dairy business management are presented by a team of national experts from within and outside of the field of agriculture. Participants attending the program can expect to develop 1- and 5-year strategic business plans through a comprehensive self-evaluation of their business, while building a network of dairy executives and business relationships.

The program takes place over one year in three, multi-day sessions which build upon each other.

All sessions take place at The Statler Hotel on the Cornell University campus. A typical day will include presentations, individual study, small group discussions and roundtable discussions with faculty.

Detailed information, including an application, can be located online at www.ansci.cornell.edu/ prodairy/dairyexec or by contacting Heather Howland, Conference Coordinator at 607-255-4478 or hh96@cornell.edu.

Class size is targeted at 30 participants.

Believing that the most important asset on the farm is the management personnel and their skills and experiences, the following companies provide key support for the Cornell Dairy Executive Program: Cargill Animal Nutrition, DairyBusiness Communications, Dairylea/DFA, Elanco Animal Health, Farm Credit East, Genex Cooperative, Inc., Pfizer Animal Health, Pennfield Dairy Profitability Team, and Shur-Gain.

PRO-DAIRY positively impacts New York’s dairy industry. Through its research, discussion groups, educational programs, financial analysis, Web sites, publications and personal contacts, the Cornell Univer-

sity based program reaches thousands of dairy professionals annually. PRO-DAIRY specialists have made a positive impact on the technical knowledge, management skills and economic strength of the New York State’s dairy industry since 1988.

Streams from B16 Mike said, “I haven’t really retired, I just changed jobs in favor of my burgeoning replacement queen-bee and honey business. I have appreciated working with all the residents of Madison County in the quest to protect the natural resources within our community”.

To support this newly minted retiree go to www.johnstonshoneybeefarm.com.
