Quality is priority at Brookefield Farms

by Elizabeth A. Tomlin Pride in the quality of cattle, cattle care, and beef production is in evidence at Brookefield Farms, near Granville, NY. Recently a host to the New York Beef Industry Council Farm Tour, the farm, which maintains a herd of Black Angus cattle, is owned and managed by Barry and Ami Goldstein, along with 29-yearold daughter Jennifer Coleman — who is also the office manager.

The Goldsteins traveled across the country studying the Angus breed, and then researched specific cattle genetic lines for 8 years before devising their breeding program.

“We chose Black Angus for a number of reasons,” Ami Goldstein states. “The Angus Association has one of the largest and oldest data banks in the industry when we’re looking at EPD (estimated progeny difference).”

The other attributes of the breed that attracted the family are the hardiness and the “fierce maternal instincts” of the cows.

Of the farm’s 800 acres, half are fenced pasture and the other half are hay fields.

“On the fenced pasture we run a total head of about 160,” Coleman said. “We try to calve out between 60 and 70 a year; 20-30 are bulls and steers, and the remaining 20-30 are replacement heifers to replace some of the older females. About 30 of the bred females go into a fall production sale.”

According to Goldstein, Brookefield is “a farm in transition.”

“We were doing it the conventional way,” she states, “using a lot of machinery.”

“However,” Coleman interjects, “now we’re using less tractors on the land by transitioning to high stock density rotational grazing, putting more cows on less land for a shorter period of time.”

Coleman says that this year they put the cows out in mid-April and they’re moved every day, providing a more “holistic” management of the land.

Coleman, who attends grazing conferences, describes seeing an improvement in the herd by turning the cows out earlier, and also reports seeing more rapid regrowth in the pastures by using the rotation method.

“This is our first year doing this,” she said. “I’m hoping that as the years go on we can get more and more intensive with it, moving the herd twice a day.”

According to Goldstein, part of the grazing technique is in the way the bales are put out and the way they are set up.

“The cows basically do all of the work for you,” Goldstein explains. “They’ll eat that right down to the ground. They trample it down and they set up a nice foundation for the springtime, and we’ve also seen improvement with that already.”

Coleman describes another method of minimizing the amount of time needed for using machinery.

“We’ll make all of our hay this summer and then, instead of putting out a bale as the cows need it, as soon as the ground freezes we’ll put out however

many bales we think they’ll need for the winter,” she said. “Then we’ll set them up with electric fencing between them so all we have to do is move back the fencing as they need a bale, that way we can go all winter without running our tractors.”

Coleman says by moving the roughly 40-foot circle around the hay every day, “it’s re-seeding and fertilizing at the same time as they trample.”

Brookefield is also in transition from

seed stock farming to meat production, and produce “grass fed, corn finished beef.”

“Our 100 percent daily focus is on taking care of the animals,” Goldstein stated. “It’s all about them and we want to make sure they are healthy.”

To assure this, Brookefield is a member of the New York State Cattle Health Assurance Program (NYSCHAP), a program sponsored by the NYS Dept. of Ag

A “wooly” weekend for first fiber artists showcase in CNY

by Pat Malin BOUCKVILLE, NY — Despite the calendar

showing the month of June, Suzanne Farrington was dressed more

Suzanne Farrington of Hamilton, NY, demonstrates how she makes felt from wool during the CNY Fiber Artists and Producers Showcase on June 11-12 in Bouckville, NY. She is assisted by Maggie Alexander of Maggie's Farm in Brookfield, who supplies the wool from her Leicester sheep.

appropriately for a cool, rainy, spring day in the countryside in Madison County. She donned a floppy, white wool felt hat and long, maroon-colored wool vest for the Central New York Fiber Artists & Producers’ “Showcase from Animals to Art.” Farrington, who lives in the small village of Hamilton, makes some of her own clothes from wool she has received in barter, usually from Maggie’s Farm in Brookfield or from other sheep breeders. Thus, she was a walking billboard and advocate for the fiber festival, held for the first time at Butternut Hill Campground on State Route 20 in an area wellknown for its antiques and craft shows.

Pam Haendle, the festival organizer and a participant, signed up 58 vendors who spread out under six tents on June 11-12. The interest was so good for the initial showcase that she had to turn down requests from some vendors.

“We had a group of fiber artisans and sheep

farmers at the Madison County Fair in 2009 and 2010,” she said. “It grew in the second year and we decided we wanted a bigger venue and a place that was more accessible.

We saw a need for it.”

CNY Fiber Artists and Producers Inc. was formed in 2010 to bring together spinners, weavers, felters and knitters, as well as those who raise sheep, goats, alpacas, llamas and Angora rabbits. Some teach classes in the fiber arts or run fiber mills.

“We hope to foster participation in and an appreciation of the fiber arts while offering visitors a chance to make the connection between fiber animals and finished products made from natural fibers,” Haendle added.

Many of the fiber vendors and participants have attended large, wellestablished shows over the years in Rhinebeck, NY, and in the Finger Lakes and anticipate that a similar show can succeed in Central New York.

“It’s a great venue for us,” said Brenda Clark of Tartan Acres, an alpaca breeder

from Homer. “I think the public response has been overwhelming. I’ve done well. People are buying and we’re filling a void.”

The weather was uncertain, overcast and

rainy at times, and it might have affected turnout. “We had about 600 paid adults, but with children, we probably had 700,” Haendle said.

Part 1: Ruedinger Farms background

by Sally Colby “Farming by nature is a risky business,” said Wisconsin dairy producer John Ruedinger. “We need to take some of that risk out and allow profitability. The best thing to do is manage risk and position yourself to capitalize on opportunities — that’s what we’re in business for.”

About 10 years ago, Ruedinger had an idea — to broker his own milk.

He incorporated a team approach and accomplished what he set out to do. Ruedinger shared his story, beginning with the background of his farm, at a Professional Dairy Managers of Pennsylvania issues forum held recently in Harrisburg, PA. Ruedinger and his wife Karen began working with his parents’ 50-cow traditional-style dairy in 1976. “In 1996, our dairy was drastically changed after a barn fire,” he said.

“That’s what really started our progression toward a new, modern dairy facility.” The first new building was a 200cow freestall facility with a double-8 parlor. The Ruedingers continued to

add cows and buildings, and converted the double-8 parlor to a double11, which keeps cows moving through for 3x milking. Today, the herd includes about 970 milking and dry cows. The dairy is set up with DeLaval’s ALPRO™ system with parlor ID and meters. Ruedinger also uses Dairy Comp 305, which estimates the value of each cow in a dairy herd relative to an average fresh heifer and calculates the current value of a pregnancy for each adult animal. This tool helps managers make decisions about whether or not an open animal should be bred.

Ruedinger watches production closely, and uses numbers to manage the business. He tracks statistics, and knows that milking takes about 4.1 minutes/cow, with 130 cows moved /hour.

The herd average is 30,216, with an average of 92 pounds/cow. Fat is 3.7, protein is 3.02, and cheese yield is 2,956.

Milk is strained twice, then goes into a plate cooler before it is piped directly into trailers.

About a trailer and a half of milk is shipped each day.

One management aspect that Ruedinger believes is critical to the success of the operation is the fresh cow pen.

Fresh cows go to parlor in the morning, then return to a dedicated area where they receive fresh feed.

By the third day, cows are expected to be eating well compared to herd mates.

This indicates that appetites are normal and metabolic issues are minimal. Each cow is observed for appetite, attitude and appearance — if she fails in any of these areas, she’ll be checked for DA, ketosis and fatty liver. At five days in milk, every cow is assessed once more before she enters the regular herd — regardless of how well she is eating. Her uterus must be clean, she must be eating well, have a normal temperature and have no feet or leg issues.

The herd manager continues to watch fresh cows closely, and he says that this rigorous fresh pen protocol has nearly eliminated DAs in the herd; with a herd average

of less than one percent.

The individual production average has increased from around 86 pounds to the mid-90s due to the fresh cow program, which means more profit.

Calves are started on the farm and are fed pasteurized milk with nipple bottles. Ruedinger says calves have excellent early growth and gain what they need for future production. At the age of 4 1/2 months, calves are finished by a custom heifer raiser, then return to the farm at about 23 months.

As the dairy grew, Ruedinger focused on employee training and management. “Employees are your best asset on the dairy,” he said. “As we grew our business, we found out that employees can add value and make money. We have an excellent dairy manager and an excellent crops and maintenance manager.

We’re trying to create an atmosphere of self-motivation that creates employee competence.

Teaching fundamentals and consistency in our procedures has allowed

us to gain milk production, parlor through-put and efficiency.”

Ruedinger has numerous conservation practices in place including minimal tillage for the 4year alfalfa/2-year corn rotation. Grain is purchased, and forage crops are grown on 1,350 acres. “We try to put up as high quality forage as we can,” said Ruedinger.

“It’s the key ingredient to balancing the ration and getting the production we like to obtain.” There is also emphasis on reproduction and genetics.

“You can do all you want with cow comfort and milk quality and employee development, but you need to key in on the genetic value of the herd.

We’ve been working with top-end bulls, concentrating on feet, legs, udders and longevity.”

At this point, none of Ruedinger’s children plan to return to the farm. “What we’re trying to do with our dairy is set it up to be a profitable business so that someone can come in and partner with us, or maybe sell it directly to another producer,” said Ruedinger. “We’re trying to create high milk production, good quality facilities and maintain them and create value in the business.”

Part 2 will discuss Ruedinger Farms’ business plan and team approach to risk management.

A “wooly” from A2 “It wasn’t as high as we had hoped, but this is our first year.”

She had some assistance in preparing the show from Madison County Cornell Cooperative Extension, but is hopeful of attracting major sponsors next year. It is tentatively scheduled for mid-June at the same location.

There were animal tours, shearing demonstrations and informal demonstrations on both days. There were workshops for the more serious spectators, such as sheep and goat farmers, and for those interested in fibers. The workshops included rug braiding, wet felting, beginning spinning, and a lecture by Dr. tatiana Stanton of Cornell University about internal parasites in sheep and goats.

The showcase had something of interest for all ages. “We’re trying to do more in terms of educating children as to the source of wool and fiber,” said Haendle.

The children’s tent featured a small petting zoo with lively goats and lambs, face-painting, games, coloring books about farming, a hands-on opportunity to make potholders and play with yarn, and educational exhibits designed to give children a taste for weaving and felting and some sense of different fibers and fiber processing.

Maggie Alexander, the owner of Maggie’s Farm helped Farrington pound the freshly shorn wool from her sheep into felt for the spectators.

Alexander was a high school teacher in New Jersey up until five years ago. “I grew up 30 miles from Manhattan,” she said.

“My father died and left me some money, and I decided to cast my fate to the wind.”

Even back then, she raised sheep as a hobby on rented land in the Garden State. “A friend of mine told me about (available farmland in) Central New York,” she said. “I got a job at BOCES in Norwich and bought a farm in South Brookfield.”

Now she has 60 Bluefaced Leicester sheep, Colored Angora goats, and German Angora rabbits. She also sells handmade soap, hand creams and woven handbags. During the festival, she took time to shear some of the sheep she brought, an activity that drew considerable interest.

“The sheep don’t enjoy (getting shorn),” said Maggie, “but they do feel good afterwards. It’s like getting out of a shower. The burrs and tangles are gone.”

She told the spectators she shears her Leicesters once a year, though some sheep with slow-growing wool can go as long as two years between shearings.

Spinning wool was one of many interactive activities at the festival. Local hobbyists signed up in advance to take beginner classes with Amy Cook of Sweetland Hill Finnsheep in Chenango Forks. Cook gave each student a plastic spindle and showed them how to lengthen and pinch the strands of wool before putting it on the spindle and spinning in “S” and “Z” directions.

Later that afternoon, Cook introduced her students to the spinning wheel. After pulling up her chair next to the instructor, each student was told to get comfortable, meaning barefoot, because the first lesson is that spinning wheels are meant to be treated gently and with respect.

Amy Cook, left, of Sweetland Hill Finnsheep in Chenango Forks, held a spinning workshop during the CNY Fiber Artists & Producers Showcase in Bouckville, NY, on June 11-12. Cook helps novice weaver Cathy Homrighaus of Cortland learn how to use the spinning wheel. “I’m fascinated by spinning,” said Homrighaus, “but I’ve never been able to get to a workshop until now."

Growing grassland bird habitat at the farm

by Troy Bishopp GROTON, NY — “It’s great to have a grassland bird advocate near our farm,” said Fay Benson, owner of Benterra Custom Grazing and member of Cornell Cooperative Extension’s SCNY Dairy and Field Crops Team. With an expert in the neighborhood, it only made sense to use his talents to lead a pasture walk for farmers and grassland advocates focused on improving grassland bird habitat

and identifying birds by sound and site within working grazing and hay lands.

When Audubon New York’s Conservation Biologist, Andrew Hinickle, shows up in the pasture armed with high powered binoculars, a bird call phone App and his extra sensitive ears, you’re in for a real treat from the “Bird Whisperer”. “Since grassland birds are among our nation’s fastest declining species

Bluebirds surround the nest box.

on private lands, it’s important to engage land managers on how valuable these birds are for insect control, “green friendly” marketing and how we can learn different subtle farming strategies to enhance populations,” said Andy.

The best time to look and listen for species on your farm is a half hour before sun-up or dusk. At this time they are actively feeding and calling to mates under the shadows to avoid predation.

An excellent resource for reading your grassland bird savannah and getting acquainted with the songs is at www.birds.cornell.edu.

To bolster grassland bird survival, Andy suggested these tips: Set aside some hayfields or pastures (over 20 acres, the bigger the better) for habitat and harvest after July 15, If you must harvest try lifting the cutter head off the ground 10 inches and utilize a flushing bar. Maintain a rotational grazing regime with an emphasis on perennial plant diversity and grazing heights while minimizing clipping until after the fledging period.

Quality is from A2 & Markets, which promotes “Animal Health, Food Safety, and Environmental Stewardship.”

The farm practices and advocates preventative care with their herd. Jack Rath, Brookefield’s bovine veterinarian, says a big emphasis is on the fact that the diseases commonly tested for are an impact on the herd — not a food safety issue. “These do not affect meat quality or food safety at all,” he emphasized.

“We optimize our performance by doing more testing and surveillance,” Coleman explained. “When you have healthier cattle you have better performance and more efficiency.”

Coleman states that purchasing cattle can always be a risk. “When we buy an animal — and we don’t buy many — but, when we do,” Coleman said, “it is tested at its home farm for all of the things we test for.”

Roth advises strict surveillance when purchasing cattle. “You shouldn’t be purchasing animals into your herd from a herd that has a poorer level of surveillance than you do,” he states.

Brookefield has been using an embryo transfer program with their herd to improve their stock.

The cow is bred by A.I., three times at 12 hours apart. After 7 days an embryologist goes to the farm and flushes the embryos out.

“If we have recipients — surrogates — lined up, we can put the embryos in that day, if not we freeze them,” Coleman said. “In the past we would go through this with up to 10 different cows, now we only have one cow we are thinking of flushing, but we still have over 100 frozen embryos that we will be using.”

Coleman explains that Brookefield has slowed their embryo program for several reasons. The first is that the procedure is cost prohibitive. According to Coleman, another reason is that “the availability of female sexed semen has expanded, so now we are able to maximize the number of female progeny without flushing embryos, and we are better able to maintain our herd at the size we want it.”

Although they are not flushing cows any more, they continue to use their frozen embryos with recipient cows.

Coleman, who currently sits on three agricultural boards; the NY Farm Bureau, NY Angus Association, and is CoChair for the Eastern Region NY Beef Producers Association, firmly believes in continuing education for quality farm management.

“I would recommend attending as many classes, seminars, field walks, webinars, etc., as possible, along with touring many different farms to see all the different ways of doing things — and talking to everyone you possibly can!” she stated.

The National Cattlemen’s Beef Association and Cornell Cooperative Extension offer classes and seminars.

According to NYBIC Executive Director Carol Gillis, “Brookefield Farms demonstrates multi-generational dedication to the land. They are focused and committed to protecting and improving their farm for future generations and have designed their beef operation to that end.”

by Steven E. Smith Saratoga County’s Sundae on the Farm is an outstanding community outreach for agriculture held for the last 16 Father’s Days. According to organizers, more than 1,000 visitors from the capital region including Albany, Schenectady, Troy, Saratoga and the Mohawk Valley spent a great family afternoon touring the farm operation of Peck’s Clear Echo Farm in Northumberland, NY. Tours of Clear Echo Farm gave visitors an exposure to the daily operation of the farm. Visitors were drawn to interact with young calves and observe the phases of development of the replacements as well as observing the lactating and dry cow group. Attendees to the farm learned the importance of specific housing and feeding mature animals in different phases of production. During the milking demonstrations held during the event, a number of people in attendance had the realization that a cow has to have a calf in order to start lactating.

Chance for Ag community to rally As a part of the kick off festivities of the Sundae on the Farm event, the County Agriculture Pro-

moter of the Year was named. This year’s recipient was David Wood of Eildon Tweed Farm in Charlton, NY. Wood was honored for his dedication to agriculture that has spanned years of service to Cornell Cooperative Extension as a county agent and volunteer as well as later developing his own farm. Wood is known for his leadership and service to numerous local and state committees which focus on topics including the New York Dairy Industry Task Force, farm viability and environmental stewardship.

Experts explain various aspects While visitors to the Sundae on the Farm event can likely relate to the recent selection of sweet corn as the state’s official vegetable recently, these guests learned why Clear Echo Farm handles field corn for forage and grain purposes at the farm. Larry Eckhardt of Stephentown, NY, used a visual depiction of the total quantity of feed and water fed to each cow daily as well as a 30 gallon garbage can full of manure to demonstrate the scope of feeding and caring for a dairy cow. Visitor stations reiterated the importance of nutrient management

and soil conservation while others demonstrations explained ag equipment, nutrition programs as well as new innovations such as agricultural plastic recycling programs.

Education about Ag’s impact and diversity Farm-City days such as Sundae on the Farm provide outstanding educational opportunities for non rural people. While the name Saratoga is often associated with horse racing, the county is home to 650 family owned farms. The walking tour of the host farm served as an up close and personal perspective on the size of a farm business. Visitors learned the significant capital investment required to have a farm and came away with a realization that agricultural enterprises can generate $100 million at the county level.

The Sundae on the Farm event is typically held on dairy farms but features the entire agricultural industry of the county. With the increased interest in the farmer’s market model, visitors appreciate the diverse offering at the Sundae on the Farm event.

Visitors can purchase greenhouse and garden plants, cheeses, produce, farm fresh milk, maple

products and even peanut butter. Besides the in-depth tour of the farm, visitors could get up close to calves, horses, llama, goats and kittens. The day included demonstrations on goat milking, sheep shearing and a honey themed spelling bee. Children interacted with 4-H members to make cow themed crafts and work with potted plants. Parents and other adults were captivated with cooking demonstrations food demos by local chefs featuring locally produced ingredients. For vendors at the Sundae on the Farm, the event brings new potential customers in front of them and solidifies the local food concept. To top the event off, the June’s Dairy month celebration featuring Stewart’s Ice Cream Sundaes served by Saratoga County Dairy Princess Kayla Marois and her court was a great way to end the farm tour.

A number of the local farms that participated in the farmers market offered new additions to the local product offering.

Willow Marsh Farm, the Saratoga County Dairy Princess’s family farm featured their newly offered line of Greek yogurts to go along with

Each year, Saratoga County Agricultural Promotion Committee recognizes an individual for their outstanding dedication to representing agriculture through their efforts to represent and promote agriculture. This year’s Agriculture Promoter of the Year was David Wood.

their raw milk sales, produce and meats. Visitors took note that many quality locally produced agriculture products are available in their area and that the farms businesses continue to increase their product offering.

In order to conduct a major outreach of this scale, it required the commitment of the Peck family along with the Saratoga County Agricultural Promotion Committee and Cornell Cooperative Extension of Saratoga County, American Farmland Trust, Saratoga

County Farm Bureau, the Town of Northumberland and the Saratoga County Agricultural and Farmland Protection Board.

These leaders recognized the consistent and continued support of numerous local vendors, businesses, government agencies and individuals whose commitment made the Sundae on the Farm event possible. In order to accomplish an event of this scale, a core of 150 volunteers also donated their time. More information is available at www.saratogafarms.com.

Matt Perkins, with Recycling Ag Plastics Program (RAPP) had a booth at the event to display the plastic baler used to press used ag plastic. Perkins explained that the plastic is recycled into compressed decking material used in urban areas. RAPP is a collaboration of Cornell University with organizations, agencies and businesses to develop infrastructure and markets for waste film and rigid plastics from all sectors of agriculture.

Crop Comments

by Paris Reidhead Field Crops Consultant Scientists’ raised eyebrows On the July 1 Huffpost Green Web site, appeared the following headline: “Birth Defects Caused By World’s TopSelling Weedkiller, Scientists Say”. This Web site belongs to a publisher called Huffington Post, (which is slightly left of center politically). I have checked the author’s claims for scientific validity, and feel comfortable trying to hit the high spots of their long article. The author is Lucia Graves; contact her at lucia@huffingtonpost.com. (The actual title of the Web site is too long to print.)

Glyphosate, the active ingredient in the planet’s most widely used herbicide, is coming under more intense scrutiny.

Concerned scientists have argued for decades that glyphosate, the active ingredient which several herbicides use around the globe, poses a serious threat to public health; moreover, that industry regulators appear to have overlooked the critics’ concerns. A comprehensive

(Contact: renrock46@hotmail.com)

review of existing data released last month by Earth Open Source suggests that industry regulators have known for years that glyphosate, originally introduced by America’s largest biotech giant in 1976, causes birth defects in the embryos of laboratory animals.

Founded in 2009, the fledgling Earth Open Source (EOS) is a global non-profit organization incorporated in the U.K. Partnering with half a dozen international scientists and researchers, EOS drew its conclusions in part from many peer-reviewed studies. EOS’ study is the latest report questioning glyphosate’s safety. USDA stopped updating its pesticide use database in 2008. But EPA estimates that the U.S. agricultural market used 180 to 185 million pounds of glyphosate between 2006 and 2007, while the non-agricultural market used 8 to 11 million pounds between 2005 and 2007, according to its Pesticide Industry sales &

Use Report for 2006-2007.

The EOS study also reports that by 1993 the herbicide industry knew that visceral anomalies such as dilation of the heart could occur in rabbits at low and medium-sized doses. Almost half a dozen industry studies that found glyphosate produced fetal malformations in lab animals, and determined that glyphosate induces adverse reproductive effects in the male offspring of a certain kind of rat.

John Fagan, a doctor of molecular and cell biology and biochemistry and one of the founders of EOS, acknowledged his group’s report offers no new laboratory research. Rather, he said the objective was for scientists to compile and evaluate the existing evidence and critique the regulatory response.

“We did not do the actual basic research ourselves,” said Fagan. “The purpose of this paper was to bring together and to critically evaluate all the evidence around the safety of glyphosate and we also considered how the regulators, particularly in Europe, have looked at that.” EOS said that U.S. government approval of glyphosate has been rash and problematic. “Our examination of the evidence leads us to the conclusion that the current approval of glyphosate is deeply flawed and unreliable,” wrote the report’s authors. “What is more, we have learned from experts familiar with pesticide assessments and approvals that the case of glyphosate is not un-

Crop from A6 usual. They say that the approvals of numerous pesticides rest on data and risk assessments that are just as scientifically flawed, if not more so,” the authors added.

To be fair, Graves interviewed pesticide industry spokeswoman Janice Person, who said, “Based on our initial review, the EOS report does not appear to contain any new health or toxicological evidence regarding glyphosate,” Person said.

“Regulatory authorities and independent experts around the world agree that glyphosate does not cause adverse reproductive effects in adult ani-

mals or birth defects in offspring of these adults exposed to glyphosate,” she said, “even at doses far higher than relevant environmental or occupational exposures.” While glyphosate has been associated with deformities in a host of laboratory animals (despite what Person said), its impact on humans remains unclear.

“Obviously there’s a limit to what’s appropriate in terms of testing poison on humans,” said Jeffrey Smith, executive director of the Institute for Responsible Technology, which advocates against genetically modified food. “But if you look at the line of converg-

ing evidence, it points to a serious problem. And if you look at the animal feeding studies with genetically modified gyphosate-tolerant crops, there’s a consistent theme of reproductive disorders, which we don’t know the cause for because follow-up studies have not been done.”

Regulators in the United States have said they are aware of the concerns surrounding glyphosate.

The Environmental Protection Agency, which is required to reassess the safety and effectiveness of all pesticides on a 15year cycle through a process called registration review, is currently

examining the compound. I believe this process is called (or at least was called) RPAR, i.e., rebuttable presumption against reregistration. (At least that’s what it was called some 35 years ago when I was a certified commercial pesticide applicator is my role as field crops extension agent.)

Though skirmishes over the regulation of glyphosate are playing out at agencies across the U.S. and elsewhere, Argentina is at the forefront of the battle.

Argentine scientists and residents targeted glyphosate, arguing that it caused health prob-

lems and environmental damage. Farmers and others in Argentina use the weedkiller primarily on genetically modified glyphosate-tolerant soy, which covers nearly 50 million acres, or half of the country’s cultivated land area. In 2009 farmers sprayed that acreage with an estimated 200 million liters of glyphosate. Several years after the first big harvests residents near where the soy cop grew began reporting health problems, including high rates of birth defects, as well as losses of crops and livestock as the herbicide spray drifted across the countryside.

Back in the United States, Don Huber, an emeritus professor of plant pathology at Purdue University, found that genetically-modified crops used in conjunction with glyphosate contain a bacteria that may cause animal miscarriages. After studying the bacteria, Huber wrote Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack in February warning that the “pathogen appears to sig-

nificantly impact the health of plants, animals, and probably human beings.” The bacteria is particularly prevalent in corn and soybean crops stricken by disease, according to Huber, who asked Vilsack to stop deregulating glyphosatetolerant crops. Critics, such as Huber, are very wary of those crops because scientists have genetically altered them to be glyphosate tolerant — allowing farmers to spray a field liberally with the herbicide, killing weeds but allowing the crop to continue growing. There are more than one hundred commercial glyphosate formulations in the market.

Believe it or not, I try to approach this biotechnology with a slightly open mind. For instance last Saturday I made a glyphosate recommendation for a soybean grower, a brilliant cropman who moved into our area from the Midwest last year. But last year I got him to cultivate corn… and do it again this year, even following herbicide applications.

Van Beek Natural Science introduces Optimum UterFlush, organic reproductive care for cattle Van Beek Natural Science is excited to introduce Optimum UterFlush, an organic product for reproductive care in beef and dairy cattle. Optimum UterFlush is administered intrauterine postcalving to help restore the cow’s uterus back to normal as quickly as possible. It can be given immediately after calving or later on when problems arise. The flush not only assists with uterine problems post-calving, but also sustains the cow’s reproductive performance reducing the breed back timeframe.

Optimum UterFlush contains essential oils with antimicrobial properties that maintain and restore normal uterine environment. A natural foaming agent, called yucca, helps the flush reach all areas of the uterus. Optimum UterFlush is an all-natural, organic product that requires no milk withholding and leaves no drug residue.

The Organic Materials Review Institute (OMRI) has reviewed and approved Optimum UterFlush as an OMRI Listed product as of June 6.

Optimum UterFlush is the organic version of UterFlush, a product Van Beek introduced last year. Optimum UterFlush performs similarly to the capsule product, Royal Uterine Capsules, but is in a convenient and easy to use liquid form. The Optimum UterFlush syringe has a dial to ensure the accurate amount is expelled when mixing the product.

Optimum UterFlush is available in a 30ml syringe and 5.08 fl oz container, providing 8 and 40 administrations, respectively. The product is sold through all major livestock and dairy distributors. Please visit www.vanbeeknaturalscience.com for more information.

Van Beek Natural Science is an innovative, quality-focused manufacturing and service company committed to bringing the highest quality natural products to the market. Van Beek has been marketing nutraceuticals for livestock use since 1984 with a history of experience in essential oil based products. Van Beek uses the best available ingredients from around the world when formulating products. This ensures that the benefits desired from the ingredients reach their full potential in the final product. Van Beek Natural Science is ISO 9001-2008 and HACCP certified.

them here next week.

The 4-week NASS-surveyed cheese price averaged $1.8999 per pound, up 24.7 cents from May. Butter averaged $2.1287, up 10 cents. Nonfat dry milk averaged $1.6520, up 4 cents, and dry whey averaged 52.33 cents, up 3 cents from May. California’s June 4b cheese milk price is $18.79 per hundredweight, up $4.05 from May, $6.56 above June 2010, 32 cents below the comparable Federal order Class III price though the gap continues to narrow, and equates to about $1.62 per gallon. Its 2011 average now stands at $15.67, up from 12.29 a year ago. The 4a butter powder price is $20.79, up 85 cents from May, and $5.53 above a year ago. Its 2010 average is now $18.94, up from $13.69 a year ago.

Cash dairy prices saw little change in the week entering the 4th of July holiday. Block cheese closed that Friday on a down note at $2.1250 per pound, down a half-cent on the day and the week, but 67 cents above that week a year ago. Barrel closed at $2.0975, up 2 cents on the week, and 69 3/4-cents above a year ago. Only two cars of block traded hands on the week and none of barrel. The lagging NASS-surveyed U.S. average block price hit $1.9861, up 3 1/2-cents, and the barrels averaged $2.0478, up 5 1/2-cents.

FC Stone dairy broker Dave Kurzawski looks for cheese to slip after the 4th.

In a Wednesday DairyLine interview Kurzawski said he has heard of discounted cheese being sold. Cheese sold at the Chicago Mercantile Exchange is no more than 30 days old, he said, so the steady current price is a “symptom of some tightness in fresh cheese,” but

he believes that’s about to change.

Eyes are on butter which slipped the second week in a row, though it did rally a penny on Wednesday and Thursday. It has been at or above $2 since the first of the year. The cash price closed Friday at $2.04, down 2 cents on the week, following the previous week’s 8-cent drop, but is still 29 cents above a year ago. Ten cars traded hands on the week. The NASS price hit $2.1272, up 0.8 cent.

Kurzawski doesn’t believe we’re out of the woods yet on the tightness in butter as demand still appears to be good but the real issue in his mind is what will demand look like on August 1. By then a lot of commercial buyers will have sourced their needs almost for the balance of the year, he said, and we could see prices slip at that point but, “as of today, we still have a pretty decent support underpinning the market.”

Cash Grade A nonfat dry milk held all week at $1.6250 while Extra Grade remained at $1.61. NASS powder averaged $1.6629, up 0.9 cent, and dry whey averaged 53.06 cents per pound, up a half-cent. Powder has been pretty quiet, Kurzawski said, and he cited an old adage, “Don’t sell a sleeping market.”

He’s not calling it a sleeping market, he said, as it is quiet most of the time and right now buyers have been quiet and international pressure has come on prices but we’ll know more from Fonterra’s auction on July 5. “The demand picture has been quiet,” he concluded, “I really wouldn’t think that this market is going to be very well supported as we roll into the middle of third quarter.”

The June Federal order benchmark farm milk price took a much needed jump. The Agriculture Department announced the Class III manufacturing grade milk price on July 1 at $19.11 per hundredweight, up $2.59 from May, $5.49 above June 2010, the highest it has been since June 2008, and equates to about $1.64 per gallon. The 2011 av-

erage now stands at $17.06, up from $13.58 at this time a year ago, and compares to an anemic $10.19 in 2009.

Looking ahead, Class III futures were trading late Friday morning as follows: July $20.50, August $18.79, September $18.18, October $17.75, November $17.06, and December $16.60. These prices would result in a 2011 average of $17.61, up from $14.41 in 2010, $11.36 in 2009, and $17.44 in 2008.

The June Class IV price is $21.05, up 76 cents from May, and $5.60 above a year ago. California’s comparable 4a and 4b prices were announced after our deadline. I’ll report

Section A - Page 10 July 11, 2011 • Let Them Know You Read COUNTRY FOLKS •

Mielke from A9 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, and $18.21 on June 24.

The University of Wisconsin’s Dr. Brian Gould pointed out in Tuesday’s DairyLine that the high butter price has increased butter’s contribution to the Federal order Class III milk price.

Butter typically represents about 40 percent of the Class III value, he said. That jumped to 48 percent in May but the big player is whey.

The strong protein market has meant a strong nonfat dry milk and dry whey price, according to Gould, and whey’s contribution to the Class III price has doubled since the first of the year in terms of its relative value. Now it’s about 10 percent of the Class III value, he said, something not seen since late 2007.

He attributed that to the strong export market for protein and said domestic users of dry

whey are competing for whey with the export market. Last month’s calculation of the Class III price showed dry whey averaged about 49 cents per pound, Gould reported, and whey typically averages 25-30 cents. (The June whey price was 52.33 cents as reported earlier.)

Export markets tend to be more volatile than domestic markets, Gould said, and that was evidenced in 2008 and 2009 when we lost a significant amount of exports resulting in a dramatic downturn in prices. It’s something to be aware of, he warned, “when we start relying on the export market to be a major source of our dairy product demand.”

Speaking of exports; more U.S. cheese will be taking a cruise. The Cooperatives Working Together program announced the acceptance this week of four requests for export assistance from Dairy Farmers of America and Darigold to sell 1.4 million pounds of Cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese to customers in Asia and Europe. The product will be delivered July through September and raises 2011 CWT

cheese exports to 44.7 million pounds after adjusting for a cancellation.

Milk receipts are generally past the annual peak throughout the country, according to USDA’s weekly update, with appreciable declines prevalent in the Southeast, Arizona, and New Mexico. California temperatures broke 100 degrees, so handlers expect receipts may decline.

Fluid demand remains at lower summer levels.

Cream demand has improved as warmer temperatures stimulate ice cream sales. Also, production of dips, sour, and whipped cream were steady to stronger ahead of the 4th of July holiday. Cream was getting shipped from region to region to supplement local offerings.

Milk production in the Oceania region is near-

ing seasonal low levels.

The end of the 2010-11 milk production season was positive in both New Zealand and Australia with herd health and conditioning also positive which, if that carries through the winter months, will provide a strong start to the new season.

The new milk production season is underway in New Zealand. Milk handlers are reporting that output during the 2010-2011 fiscal season was up 2-3 percent from the previous year.

The outlook for the 2011-2012 season remains strong with some estimates in the 5-6 percent range.

The 2010-11 milk production season in Australia comes to a close at the end of June. At this point, milk handlers estimate that annual output

will be up about 1 percent from a year ago and project the 2011-2012 year to be slightly higher.

Back on the home front; dairy farm profitability improved slightly in June as milk prices increased to cover a small hike in feed. The Agriculture Department’s latest Ag Prices report shows the All-Milk price for June estimated at $21.00 per hundredweight, up $1.40 from May, $5.60 above June 2010, and the highest since December 2007, according to the CME’s Daily Dairy Report (DDR).

The cost of feed to produce 100 pounds of milk was $11.48, up just 15 cents from May. Corn averaged a record $6.58 per bushel, up 28 cents from May and $3.17 above a year ago. Soybeans averaged $13.30 per bushel, up a dime

Seven Reasons the 3715 Flexwing is an Excellent Choice for Heavy Duty Cutting Jobs.

(1) Each axle pivot has a greasable bushing for long life. (2) A “no-disconnect” turnbuckle provides ease of wing adjustment. (3) Dual wheels on center section are standard. Optional dual wheels on wings assist in mowing close to ditches. (4) Optional tandem walking axles available for extreme mowing conditions.

(5) Optional deck ring reduces blade to deck contact. (6) Wide wing skids reduce “dig-in” on sharp turns.

(7) Optional constant velocity PTO driveline.

There’s plenty more features; like a 5-year limited gearbox warranty, a full 15-foot cutting width, 7 gauge steel deck construction, and more. The 3715 flexwing cutter is rated for minimum 80 PTO horsepower tractors. Come in today and see why it’s another legend from Bush Hog.

from May and $3.85 above a year ago. One bright note, alfalfa hay averaged $180 per ton, down $6, but still $61 higher than a year ago.

That left “Income over feed costs” of $9.52 per cwt., according to the DDR, $1.25 higher than May, and compares to a 10 year average of $9.09.

There’s more good news on the feed front.

USDA’s Acreage and Grain Stocks reports showed U.S. corn plantings at 92.3 million acres, substantially higher than what was forecast in the July 12 World Agriculture Supply and Demand Estimates report, and compares to 88.2 million acres a year ago. Soybean acreage was also below expected levels and a year ago.

In New York, Governor Andrew Cuomo’s administration is seeking to lift what has effectively been a moratorium on hydrofracking. Hydraulic fracturing, or hydrofracking as it is widely known, is a technique used to extract natural gas from shale. According to

reports, the new policy would allow hydrofracking on private lands, opening New York up to one of the fastest-growing areas of the energy industry. To oversee hydrofracking in the state, the Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) has formed a 12-member

advisory panel. Dairylea and DFA will continue to monitor the progress in New York and update you as details become available.

higher than expected, which sent prices tumbling from record high levels of the last few weeks. Soybean stocks,

at 619 million bushels, were above forecast estimates and a year ago.

The DDR also reported that sales of cheese and butter were very strong in the February-April period, according to USDA data. Total cheese usage was up 5.1 percent versus the prior year.

American cheese use was up 4.2 percent and movement of other varieties was up 5.8 percent. Butter disappearance was up 19 percent but nonfat dry milk and skim milk powder was down 7 percent, with gains in exports offset by a steep decline in domestic use, according to the DDR. Dairy Profit Weekly recently reported highlights from the latest American Farm Bureau Federation’s quarterly Marketbasket Survey. It shows that shoppers in 30 states reported paying the following average prices for milk in half-gallon containers in the second quarter of 2011: regular milk: $2.31, up 6 cents from the prior quarter, and up 12 percent compared to the same quarter a year earlier. (The price for one gallon of regular milk was $3.62, up 16 cents from the prior quarter, and up about 18 percent from the second quarter of 2010.) “rbST -free” milk averaged $3.18, down a nickel from the previous quarter, but 6 percent more than second

quarter 2010. It is about 40 percent higher than the reported price of a half-gallon of regular milk. The retail markup on “rbST-free” milk = 87 cents per half-gallon X 23.25 halfgallons/cwt. = $20.23/cwt.

Organic milk averaged $3.77, up 7 cents compared to the first quarter of 2011, and up 3 percent compared to the second quarter a year earlier. It is about 60 percent higher than the reported price of a half-gallon of regular milk.

And, in a separate report, the Minnesota Farmers Union reported the U.S. average retail price for fat-free milk at $4.09 per gallon in April. According to MFU calculations, dairy farmers received $1.67 per gallon, or about 38 percent.

Meanwhile, as National Milk begins its grassroots effort to sell its future dairy policy proposal to farmers, California Farmers Union and the California Dairy Campaign are joining the National Family Farm Coalition in supporting legislative reforms called for in the NFFC-backed “Federal Milk Marketing Improvement Act.” The legislation would pay dairy producers based on their cost of production, manage milk inventories to meet market demand, and address the impact of unregulated concentrated dairy imports.

Aggies make it to the Nationals

by Emily Man and Giselle Ganesh On May 6, the Agricultural Sales and Marketing Team from John Bowne High School in Flushing, NY, won first place at the state convention in Cobleskill, NY. They competed against fellow FFA members from different schools in New York state. Once every year, the members of the Agriculture Team compete at the state convention.

This year, they won big.

The competition consisted of four separate parts. The first was an individual test, which consisted of questions with multiple-choice answers. The second part was a sales call, where someone judged their product. The third part was called Customer Relations, where the team had a scenario where an angry customer came in complaining about the product. The team had to solve the issue by selling him something else and persuading him to buy it so he would be content. The fourth and final part of the competition was a team interview. They had to explain the advantages and benefits of their products for people. Gamaliel Rizzo said that he felt “a little nervous for the individual round, but as a team, I know everyone was on point.”

As a whole, the team considers everyone as a member of his or her family, without each other it would be difficult to function. As seniors leaving Bowne, there is plenty of confidence that future members will bring home more championships and keep the family growing.

Adam Ibrahim said, “I was really excited, everyone was happy and cheering for me, I was really surprised when we won.” It is remarks such as these that truly represent the support everyone provides for one another. Being able to

Time for some fun at the competition.

go to the national competition means the world to these members because they are going to be competing against all the winners from each state.

The Nationals will take place in October 2011, and the Aggies are determined to improve upon what they did at the state competition.

According to Gamaliel Rizzo, their team is ready to “sweep the Nationals off!” Last year, they won second place at the Nationals, and by pushing a bit harder, they have a huge shot at coming in first place. Anil Kumar believes that “it’s a great opportunity and we’re lucky because not a lot of people get the chance to do what we do.” Knowing that they made it this far, it really shows how hard the business teams have worked to get where they are.

The Sales Team practiced all year by rehearsing and studying previous tests as well as researching their products.

The marketing team worked hard creating business proposals and devising new ways to persuade people to buy their merchandise. Each of them had to sell a product such as dog food, plant food, and a 2-in-1 shampoo and conditioner.

A special thanks to the Agriculture teachers who supported these students along the way. Particularly, Mr. Perry, Ms. Manzi, Ms. Holden, Ms. Keryk and the advisor for this competition, Mr. Farris for the hard work and encouragement they gave to the students.

All of the team members did a great job and deserve to be congratulated.

Thanks to Gamaliel Rizzo, Adam Ibrahim, Christopher Rodriguez, Jessica Arias and Bennett Perez of the Sales Team and Anil Kumar, Nikki Reiff and Gamaliel Rizzo of the Marketing Team for interviews.

Eating healthy at summer picnics

by Dianne Lamb, Extension Nutrition and Food Specialist, University of Vermont To me, picnics are one of the best parts of summer although traditional picnic fare rarely fits the bill for what experts consider good nutrition. With some updating, you can turn these foods into examples of nutrition at its most delicious.

When you plan a picnic, consider just how many different vegetable and fruit dishes are on the menu compared to starchy dishes like potatoes, breads, rice and pasta. You may be surprised to find that there aren’t that many. Although grain products are nutritious, especially if they are whole grain, many picnics include too many starchy foods and too little produce.

I like to pass around trays of cut-up raw fruit or vegetables before the main course. Or you can add them to the picnic spread for nibbling throughout the meal. And don’t be afraid to experiment with different types of vegetable salads for variety and good nutrition.

You also can slim down potato and pasta salad, two picnic favorites. Just a half-cup serving of either is packed with 180 to 260 calories and seven to 16 grams of fat. Have a serving of one, or take a taste of each, and you are consuming almost a meal’s worth of fat and calories from these two dishes alone.

Substitute a variety of chopped vegetables for some of the starchy ingredients, which will reduce calories and boost nutrients. The American Institute for Cancer Research emphasizes eating a wide variety of vegetables for their antioxidant nutrients and health-promoting phytochemicals, a crucial part of a cancer-prevention diet. You don’t have to give up your potato or pasta salad. Just add more vegetables and less starch to make it healthier.

Another option is to limit the amount of fat in the dressing or mayonnaise by using reduced-fat prod-

ucts. You may need to sample a few brands before you find one that you like. Or change the proportions of oil and vinegar in a homemade dressing to lower the fat content.

Are bread and rolls on the menu?

Unless you have extremely high calorie needs, choose either one small serving of pasta or potato salad or a roll or bread, and pass on the rest. A hamburger or veggie burger is just as delicious without the bun, and you can use those “saved” calories to sample something else.

Gelatin dishes are another traditional picnic dish, but they may not be the best choice for healthy eating. A small half-cup serving has 80 calories, almost all of it sugar. Add whipped cream and the calorie intake is even higher. Instead, serve whatever fruits are in season.

The calorie load will be the same or lower with the added benefit of fiber, vitamins and those good phytochemicals. Serve one type of fruit plain or combine several favorites to make a fruit salad, sweetened only with natural fruit juices.

Typically, picnics include red meat or poultry, either grilled or in sandwiches. If you are the cook, choose lean meats. Even if you are a guest and have no control over what is served, you can save calories and limit fat intake by keeping your portion of meat small. Two to three ounces is a serving, which is the size of your palm or a deck of cards.

A picnic without dessert?

Unthinkable. If you eat healthy, you can splurge on foods like desserts that aren’t high in nutrition. However, remember that dessert is meant to be a tidbit that ends the meal on a sweet note, not something that fills a whole plate.

Many desserts are often “overkill.”

Pie with ice cream and whipped cream? That’s really three desserts, not one. Instead, have plain pie with one small dollop of whipped cream or

Vampire appliances Consume electricity even when switched off, costing consumers $1 billion a year Most homes have almost two dozen vampire appliances that consume energy even when they are turned off. These appliances cost consumers more than one billion dollars a year in energy costs.

“These appliances aren’t really off but function in a stand-by mode,” says Joe Laquatra, a housing and energy expert at Cornell University. “They continuously use power so their features will continue to work when they are switched off, such as a digital video recorder (DVR) recording programs when no one is home.” An energythirsty TV, for example, may cost more than $14 a year for energy consumed when it’s off. “With many vampire appliances in a typical home, the cost

to feed energy-slurping vampires adds up quickly,” Laquatra adds.

To minimize energy consumption by vampire appliances in your home, plug appliances into smart power strips that turn off appliances when they enter stand-by mode. Also, look for appliances with the ENERGY STAR® label; these appliances are guaranteed to use far less energy than standard appliances. Saving energy not only means saving money, but by saving electricity it also helps to prevent air pollution.

a dish of fruit with ice cream.

Brownies are so irresistible that it’s usually hard to stop at just one or just eat half a large brownie. The standard serving size is a two-inch square, which has 100 to 150 calories, so cut your pan of brownies into portions this size. You’ll be doing your caloriecounting guests a favor, and anyone who wants seconds can always go back for another piece.

As you plan your picnic, keep nutrition and portion size in mind. You can serve all the traditional picnic foods, but be sure to look for ways to reduce fat and calories and take advantage of all the seasonal fresh fruits and vegetables available in season.

Here’s a healthier, updated version of the layered salad that was popular back in the 1970s and ‘80s. This salad feeds a crowd and includes so many different vegetables that it can suffice as the only side dish at your picnic. If possible, use a clear bowl to show off its many colorful layers.

Seven-layer salad with ranch dressing 1 c. fat-free (or reduced-fat) buttermilk 1/4 c. reduced-fat mayonnaise 1 tsp. finely minced garlic 1 tsp. dried oregano (or 1 Tbsp. fresh) 1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce Pinch cayenne pepper Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste 1 can (19 oz.) kidney beans, rinsed

and drained 6 romaine lettuce leaves, halved lengthwise and cut crosswise in 1/2inch strips 2 large tomatoes, sliced 6 thin slices red onion, chopped 1 package (10 oz.) frozen green peas, defrosted 2 c. jicama, cut in 1/2?inch cubes 1 c. (4 oz.) reduced-fat cheddar cheese, shredded To make the dressing, place buttermilk, mayonnaise, garlic, oregano, Worcestershire sauce and cayenne in a small bowl. Add salt and pepper to taste. Whisk together until well blended. Cover and refrigerate dressing at least 30 minutes.

To make the salad, place a layer of kidney beans in a deep, 8-inch glass serving bowl. On top of the beans, add, in succeeding layers, lettuce, tomatoes, onion, peas and jicama. Sprinkle cheese over top. Pour dressing evenly over salad. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate 1 to 3 hours. Just before serving, toss well and serve.

Campside treat gets revamped S’mores is one of the most popular desserts enjoyed around the campfire and at cookouts. Now you can enjoy the flavor of this delectable dessert without the fuss of toasting marshmallows over an open flame.

S’mores history dates back to the early 20th century. While the actual recipe origin is unknown — considering most camping recipes were passed down from generation to generation — the first printed recipe for s’mores appeared in 1927 in the Girl Scout Handbook. S’mores were popular campside treats because of the portability of ingredients. It was easy to pack a bag of marshmallows, a box of graham crackers and a few bars of chocolate.

The combination of sticky marshmallow, smooth, rich chocolate and crunchy graham crackers provides a perfect melding of flavors. However, s’mores weren’t the first pairing of these ingredients. Mallomar cookies and Moonpies also featured these ideal components.

To make a delicious dessert that builds upon the s’mores flavors and theme at your next summertime event, try this recipe for Frozen S’mores Cake.

Frozen S’mores Cake 1 quart vanilla ice cream 1 quart chocolate ice cream 10 or 12 graham cracker squares 1/4 cup melted butter 1/2 tablespoon sugar 1 jar of hot fudge

1 bag mini-marshmallows 2 tablespoons water Vegetable shortening Crush graham crackers in a zipperlock bag or pulse in a food processor until made into crumbs. Add sugar and melted butter to the crumbs, mix and press into the bottom of a springform pan. Bake at 350 F for 10 minutes, or until the crust browns a bit.

Soften ice cream by letting it sit out of the freezer for a few minutes. Use a spatula or spoon to spread the chocolate ice cream over the cooled graham cracker crust. Spread desired amount of fudge topping over the chocolate ice cream. Then spread the softened vanilla ice cream over the fudge layer.

Coat a microwave-safe bowl with a thin layer of shortening. Add most of the marshmallows, reserving a few for garnish, and the water to the bowl.

Microwave for about a minute to a minute and a half until the marshmallows are melted. Top the vanilla ice cream with the melted marshmallows.

Place the cake in the freezer overnight to harden.

When ready to serve, place the garnish marshmallows on top and drizzle with a little melted hot fudge. You can use a kitchen torch or a barbecue lighter to add a little browning to the garnish marshmallows to make them look like they were toasted over a fire.

Slice and enjoy quickly before it melts. This cake also makes a great alternative to a store-bought ice cream birthday cake.

Pennsylvania Farm Bureau troubled by major cuts to agriculture programs in state budget CAMP HILL, PA — Pennsylvania Farm Bureau (PFB) is troubled by deep cuts to several key agricultural programs, especially reductions to Cooperative Extension and agriculture research, which are included in the new state budget approved by the General Assembly and signed by Gov. Tom Corbett.

PFB has learned that cuts totaling nearly $10.5 million to Penn State’s Agriculture Extension and Agriculture Research programs will result in the elimination of nearly 200 of the 814 permanent jobs within Penn State’s College of Agricultural Sciences.

“Agriculture research and Cooperative Extension are vital components of farming and our food industry. Pennsylvania farmers rely on timely assistance provided by agriculture extension agents and valuable developments in research to stay viable in a constantly changing industry. Innovations in research and new information about agricultural practices have not only helped farmers throughout the years, but have also helped keep food prices down for consumers and resulted in conservation improvements on

farms to protect the environment,” said PFB President Carl T. Shaffer.

“Pennsylvania's far m families support the efforts of Governor Corbett and the General Assembly to restore fiscal discipline in our state, but the budget cuts in Cooperative Extension and agriculture research are excessive.”

Farm Bureau is also concerned that lawmakers have eliminated the state crop insurance incentive program, which over the past five years has been chipped away to nothing from a $3 million appropriation.

More than a decade ago, the General Assembly agreed to provide a modest commitment of funds to help farmers obtain crop insurance. As part of the agreement, the agriculture community encouraged farmers to self-insure, rather than rely on public funds to financially recover from weather-related losses, such as in 1999, when the state provided $65 million to farmers who were decimated by drought conditions.

“The decision to eliminate crop insurance assistance is unfortunate, because it eliminates what has been a

successful program, which typically returned $4 for every dollar spent. Because the program was zeroed out, we also lose the ability to ask the federal government to match state funding.

Last year, Pennsylvania farmers received $455,000 in matching funds from the federal government for the crop insurance incentive program. We are concerned that farmers will have to pay more for crop insurance or decide to insure fewer acres of crops, leaving them vulnerable to losses from uncontrollable acts of nature,” added Shaffer.

Meanwhile, PFB credited the General Assembly for doubling REAP (Resource Enhancement and Protection Act of Pennsylvania) program funding to $10 million and for restoring funding to the state budget for the Department of Agriculture in the areas of Agriculture Excellence (such as the Center for Dairy Excellence), Agriculture Research (within PDA) and funding for livestock and dairy shows.

Dairy of Distinction named in Madison County Wedge Farm, Earlville, is this year’s Dairy of Distinction winner in Madison County. Nelson and Debbie Wedge, along with their sons Larry and Dylan, own and operate their third generation dairy farm.

The family operation began in 1919 when Nelson’s grandfather purchased the farm. Their 420 acres are home to 70 head of milking cows and another 70 head of youngstock. Since 2004, the Wedges have installed four gas wells that supply energy for the house, barn and farm shop.

The Northeast Dairy Farm Beautification Program, sponsor of the Dairy of Distinction program, recognizes

the hard work and dedication of dairy owner-operators who have attractive, well-kept farms that promote a good dairy industry image. All active dairy farms in New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Vermont are eligible to apply.

Just as with the Dairy Princess program, the Dairy of Distinction program is paid for by dairy farmers through the Dairy Check-Off Program. Farmers pay 15 cents for every 100 pounds of milk shipped from their farm.

For further information, contact Cornell Cooperative Extension of Madison County at 315-684-3001.

Farmers and ranchers tell the White House to issue final GIPSA rule Farmers and ranchers applauded when the Obama campaign pledged to restore open and competitive markets and fair contracts for livestock and poultry producers and again when last year, the Grain Inspection Packers and Stockyards Administration (GIPSA) issued a strong rule protecting farmers and ranchers from some of the the worst practices. The Administration, however, has yet to issue a final rule and opposition from big packers and processsors seems to have stalled the process.

The National Sustainable Agriculture Coalition along with other farm and ranch organizations that collectively represent thousands of family farmers and ranchers have organized a weeklong call-in campaign to tell President

Obama that the GIPSA rule should be issued now.

Three years ago, Congress directed USDA to define and enforce key provisions in the Packers and Stockyards Act outlawing price discrimination against small and mid-sized farmers and other unfair practices. One year ago, the Grain Inspection and Stockyards Administration (GIPSA) issued a proposed rule that would reign in some of the worst practices of mega packers and processors. “The push back from the corporate packers and processors who profit from the status quo has been fierce,” said Ferd Hoefner, NSAC’s Policy Director. “Price manipulation, price discrimination and unjust and one-sided contracts have all been very good for their bottom lines.”

Wedge Farm, Earlville, this year’s Dairy of Distinction winner in Madison County, is operated by Nelson and Debbie Wedge and their sons Larry and Dylan. Pictured are: (L-R) Dylan, Larry, Debbie and Nelson Wedge.

Recently, at the behest of the meat and poultry industry, the House passed an agricultural appropriations bill with a rider denying GIPSA any funds to complete their rulemaking process. The bill now moves on to the Senate. “We’re pleased that the President and USDA Secretary Vilsack have

criticized the appropriations rider and defended the GIPSA proposed rule,” said Hoefner, “but now is the time for USDA to get the final rule out the door and working to provide farmers and ranchers with clear protections and fairer prices under the Packers & Stockyards Act.”

by Lynne Finnerty Most of the programs in the farm bill will expire next year and the debate over a new farm bill has begun.

Spending cuts will be needed. Congress must bring down the federal debt. With no prospect for more spending, competition for the remaining dollars is intense. Some would like to eliminate farm payments and redirect that funding — less than one-half of 1 percent of total federal spending — to other areas.

The debate about farm payments brings to mind the term “Pyrrhic victory.” King Pyrrhus ruled the Greek state of Epirus in the third century B.C.

When the Greek city of Tarentum in southern Italy feared invasion by Rome, the Tarentines asked Pyrrhus, who had a strong army, for help.

Pyrrhus, seeing a chance to expand his rule, agreed.

After two bloody battles, Pyrrhus defeated the Romans. However, Pyrrhus lost so many of his best soldiers that he is said to have remarked, “With another such victory, we will be finished!”

He battled the Romans again five years later and lost. His legacy is the lesson that some victories are not worth what it costs to win them.

Similar to Pyrrhus’ seeing an opportunity to gain control of part of Italy,

FOCUS ON AGRICULTURE American Farm Bureau Federation special interests outside of agriculture see an opportunity to expand their grasp of farm bill funding. But, the portion of the farm bill that actually goes to farmers has already shrunk.

Farm programs in 2010 accounted for just 7 percent of farm bill funding, compared with 33 percent in 2002.

Nutrition programs, on the other hand, have grown, accounting for a whopping 80 percent of the farm bill in 2010, compared to 52 percent in 2002.

Conservation programs take up about 5 percent of the funding authorized by the farm bill.

Most crop prices in recent years have been high enough to not trigger price support payments. Meanwhile, restrictive payment and income limits have made some of the most productive farmers ineligible to participate in farm programs.

As a result, farm programs are already a shrinking piece of the farm-bill pie. That piece of pie, however, remains important to our agricultural productivity and food security. That mere 7 percent does a lot to keep our pantries full.

Like Pyrrhus’ battles, the battle for farm program funding could be costly.

America could lose growth in an industry that feeds, fuels and clothes us, and much of the world, and provides U.S. jobs. We would lose an important safety net for a sector of our economy that is actually growing, and the only one that has a positive trade balance.

The United Nations predicts that farmers need to produce 70 percent more food by 2050 to keep up with population increase. That makes keeping farmers in production more important than ever. Sure, crop prices are high now, but the only constant in agriculture is volatility, something that farm programs help farmers and food consumers ride out.

Farmers know that change is in the air and are willing to do their part to cut government spending. Congress should consider changes to save money and make farm programs work better. Many ideas will be put on the table, but it is reckless to redirect funds from farmers’ tiny sliver of the pie to other areas.

With a victory like that, American food security may be finished.

Lynne Finnerty is the editor of FBNews, the American Farm Bureau Federation’s official newspaper.

by Cari Rincker, Esq. All parties involved with embryo transfers should consider memorializing the terms of the agreement in writing. Contracts are important because it clearly defines the terms of the agreement and obligations of both parties. Each party in an embryo transfer transaction has specific interests to protect. Below are some suggested terms for the livestock industry that should be included in contracts dealing with embryo transfers.

Recipient Agreement - Livestock producers who are selling embryo transfer recipient should make sure that the following terms are included in the written contract: (1) sale/rental price of recipient; (2) payment terms including penalties for late payments; (3) instructions for receipt of embryos; (4) embryo transfer fees; (5) dates/procedures/costs associated with pregnancy checks (e.g., palpation, ultrasound); (6) duration

that recipient will stay under the care of owner and any daily boarding/maintenance fees (e.g., feed, pasture); (7) if necessary, reimbursement for routine veterinary care and transportation; (8) limitation of liability for congenital birth defects or reasonable birthing difficulties; and, (9) if appropriate, security on the embryo transfer progeny and the assignment of necessary registration papers. Furthermore, the recipient owner may request additional fees for genetic testing or marketing services.

Breeder Agreement - On the other hand, breeders should make sure that the recipient owner agrees to bear the burden that the recipient is (1) in good health and obtains necessary vaccinations; (2) within the appropriate age range; (3) has an acceptable body condition score; (4) if appropriate, a certain breed or color pattern (e.g., solid black/red hided); and, (5) is structurally sound. The breeder may want

Wanted youth groups The NYBPA is looking for 4-H, FFA, soccer and or any youth groups interested in helping at our Beef Tent at the Empire Farm Days.

We are looking for groups of four to six youth to help clean tables etc. during the hours of 11 a.m.-2 p.m. daily, Aug. 9-11. They will receive a hat, an apron and lunch. If the groups can put

together groups of 4-6 people the NYBPA would pay their organization $100 for those hours donated to the NYBPA. If interested please contact Brenda Bippert 716-870-2777 or e-mail nybeefproducers@aol.com so we can put together a schedule.

Thank you for your help and support of the NYBPA.

to hold the recipient owner liable for gross negligence or intentional misconduct relating to the care of the recipient and the progeny including birthing complications and require that the recipient owner use best management practices. If the recipient owner will be raising the progeny until weaning and retaining ownership of the recipient, the breeder may want to list special management terms (e.g., early weaning, creep feeding, DNA testing).

Flush Agreement - If a livestock breeder is purchasing a flush from another owner, the breeder may want to memorialize a minimum number of transferable embryos from the flush (e.g., five embryos) and the date/procedures for the receipt of the flush.

Additionally, this breeder would also want to make sure that that flush is guaranteed to be what was ordered (e.g., free of certain genetic defects, use of sexed semen) and note liquidated damages in case of an error. Conversely, the owner who will be flushing the embryos will want to enumerate the payment terms including shipping expenses and ensure that he/she is not responsible for the transfer of the embryos to the recipient or birthing problems that may occur.

General Considerations - There are also some general considerations that the parties should consider such as the name and contact information of the parties (including D/B/A or corporate business entity), choice of law, and attorneys’ fees for the prevailing party in a dispute. The contract should also be binding on the heirs, successors and assigns. Additionally, some parties wish to have an arbitration

clause or alternatively a forum selection clause for a neutral courtroom.

Some embryo transfer contracts also require credit card information to be used as security for late payment. Finally, each party of the contract should agree to comply with all federal, state, and local laws including livestock animal cruelty laws.

It is highly suggested that all parties dealing with embryo transfers put their agreements in writing. The agriculture industry is notoriously trustworthy oftentimes doing business with a handshake. Having terms of an agreement in writing is not an indication of a lack of trust; instead, it is a sound business practice. Things go wrong outside of everyone’s control.

Make sure everyone involved in the transaction is clear on the terms of the agreement in a legally enforceable contract and all parties’ interests are protected. Contract law is state specific so it is recommended that livestock producers seek counsel from an attorney licensed in their jurisdiction.

More than a handshake: embryo transfer contracts for the livestock industry

USDA to study beef feedlot health management practices HARRISBURG, PA — Beginning in August, beef feedlot operators in Pennsylvania will be contacted by representatives of USDA’s National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) to provide information for the 2011 USDA Feedlots Study.

The data gathered by NASS will be used by USDA’s National Animal Health Monitoring System (NAHMS) to provide an in-depth look at health management practices on beef feedlots in the United States.

“Many changes have occurred on U.S. feedlots since 1999, the last time these data were collected,” said Kevin Pautler, Director, NASS Pennsylvania

Field Office. “By participating in the current study producers will help their entire industry by accurately portraying the beef feedlot industry and ensuring that only the most upto-date and accurate information is readily available to the public.”

The study results will help researchers identify the most prevalent health problems and help identify new or updated solutions. The study will also gauge the respondent’s awareness and use of various biosecurity practices, as well as changes in feedlot management practices.

To help producers provide all of the necessary information, trained

Roads Lead to Georgia’ this Fall

National Angus Conference & Tour set for Athens, GA; register by Aug. 15.

Southern hospitality and great Angus cattle await American Angus Association members and others, Sept. 6-8 in Athens, GA. This fall, “All Roads Lead to Georgia” for the 2011 National Angus Conference & Tour (NAC&T), hosted by the American Angus and Georgia Angus associations and sponsored by Land O’ Lakes Purina Feed LLC. The one-day conference features educational seminars and outstanding speakers followed by a two-day tour featuring the state’s finest Angus genetics and rich agricultural heritage.

“We’ve put together a great lineup of speakers to address a variety of top-of-mind issues like family farm succession and speaking out about agriculture,” said Shelia Stannard, American Angus Association® director of activities and events.

The NAC&T kicks off Tuesday, Sept. 6, at The Classic Center with a welcome from Association President Joe Hampton.

“This is one of the most highly anticipated events of the year, and for good reason,” said Bryce Schumann, Association chief executive officer (CEO). “Angus enthusiasts from across the nation and abroad

attend this annual event to learn something new, see great Angus cattle and make new acquaintances.”

Tom Field will discuss planning for the future of the beef industry, while two sessions will explore farm transition planning and marketing Angus beef. Panelists include Scott Bennett, Red House, VA; Don Schiefelbein, Kimball, MN; Tommy Maples, Elkmont, AL; Chad Stine, Buckhead Beef; and Geof Bednar, Certified Angus Beef LLC (CAB).

Well-known Montana logger, resources expert and keynote speaker Bruce Vincent will then address attendees before

they depart to tour University of Georgia livestock operations.

Tuesday activities will wrap up at Partisover Ranch, Colbert, GA, where attendees will enjoy dinner and hear from Georgia Agriculture Commissioner Gary Black.

Wednesday’s tour includes stops at Acres Away Angus, Lovejoy, GA; Lane Packing, Fort Valley; and Kensington Farm, Molena.

On Thursday, tour-goers will arrive at Wakefield Farm in Hartwell, followed by stops at Bramblett Angus, Elberton; Britt Angus, Hartwell; and, finally, Mayfield Dairy in Braselton.

CAB will sponsor a

portion of tour meals.

“During the tour, Georgia byways and backroads will take us to scenic Angus farms,” Stannard said. “You won’t want to miss this annual opportunity to see old friends and make new ones.”

To register visit www.angus.org. Early registration costs $150 per person and is due Aug. 1. Registration after Aug. 1 costs $175 and is due Aug. 15. Walk-ins are accepted on a spaceavailable basis, but par-

Juniors give back to community Donate items at the 2011 NJAS to deployed troops.

The National Junior Angus Association (NJAA) believes giving back builds responsibility and leadership skills.

Juniors can further develop these skills at the 2011 National Junior Angus Show (NJAS) in Harrisburg, PA, by participating in the Support Our American Recruits (SOAR) community service project.

“The community service project helps instill charitable qualities in junior Angus members,” said Jaclyn Upperman, junior board member and 2011 NJAS junior co-chairman.

The SOAR program is for any American soldier who has served or will serve in the armed forces. The community service project accommodates the NJAS theme “Let Freedom Ring” and honors Pennsylvania history and military ties.

“Through SOAR, juniors will better realize how important soldiers are and will hopefully continue to contribute once back in their own states,” Upperman says.

The program began after Sept. 11, 2001, as a support group for military families. The program now sends 600

care packages per year to deployed troops throughout the world.

SOAR provides more than items to soldiers, says Becky Bair, SOAR executive director. “It lets troops know they are not forgotten and are appreciated while providing them a taste of home to keep their morale up.”

NJAA members and families can donate items to deployed troops during the NJAS Opening Ceremonies on July 11 or throughout the week at the SOAR tradeshow booth.

“It is hard for all of us back home to realize how much we take for granted,” Bair says.

“Even the most basic items are appreciated when received.”

The SOAR tradeshow booth also accepts full military addresses for specific soldiers to receive a care package.

The SOAR program also serves as a support group twice a month for military family members.

Visit www.supportouramericanrecruits.co m for more information.

“As volunteers we feel that it is not what SOAR does, rather it is about the troops and what they do for us,” Bair said.

by Phoebe Hall Wettest spring on record I was recently asked, “What was it like farming through the wettest spring on record?” One of our local meteorologists stated that, we have received more rain since early March through the end of May, than has ever been recorded in the last 140 years of record keeping. I suppose we should be thankful that we didn’t have what other areas of the country received and I hope this doesn’t become the norm, as some have suggested.

To answer the above question, it sure wasn’t fun nor was it easy. Farmers are always so dependent on the whims of the weather, because their livelihood depends totally on it being cooperative. We

“Peace be still.” But even after living through that storm, they were amazed, and couldn’t comprehend what they had just witnessed.

I’m still a supporter of teaching gardening to everyone in order to acquaint them with the art of survival when food supplies are reduced significantly by the weather.

For I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from his love. Death

can’t and life can’t. The angels won’t, and all the powers of hell itself cannot keep God’s love away. Our fears for today, our worries about tomorrow, or where we are — high above the sky, or in the deepest ocean — nothing will ever be able to separate us from the love of God demonstrated by our Lord Jesus Christ when he died for us. (Romans 8:38 & 39) TLB

Wysox Creek streambanks targeted for USDA funding The Bradford County Conservation District and the Wysox Creek Watershed Association are teaming up with the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) in delivering targeted stream improvement assistance through a $424,000 grant under the Cooperative Conservation Partnership Initiative — Chesapeake Bay Watershed (CCPICBWI). The funding will enable landowners to apply for technical assistance and USDA-NRCS financial assistance to address streambank erosion. The funding will be additionally enhanced through a DEP Growing Greener grant received by the Wysox Creek Watershed Association. While applications are being accepted until July 13 for the entire watershed, the upper reaches of Johnson Creek will be given the highest priority. Medium priority will be given to those landowners in the lower reaches of Johnson Creek and lower priority to all other sediment

impaired reaches of Wysox Creek.

“These two grants allow us to aggressively address the needs identified by the State when they developed total maximum daily loads (TMDLs) for the Johnson Creek portion of the Wysox Creek Watershed,” commented Conservation District Manager Mike Lovegreen. The two grants will work together to provide both the engineering and funding of the work identified by the TMDL and the priorities of the Wysox Creek Watershed Association.

Applications will be accepted until the July 13 deadline at the Stoll Natural Resource Center. Applications will then be ranked and landowners contacted regarding contracts which need to be signed by mid-August. Application received after July 13 may be accepted but may not be able to be considered for 2011 because of limited time and funding. For applications or more information contact the Conservation District or the NRCS at 570265-5539 x 6.

A Few Words

always have our NOAA weather monitor on 24/7, monitoring any changes that are transpiring.

Getting back to this wet spring, we’ve also been told that if we delay our planting or harvesting past a certain date, the yields and quality will be greatly reduced. Since most of the activity of planting and harvesting is up to 60 days late, it looks like everything will be in the negative. But the crops planted later have a much better plant population than the earlier planted ones. Something about being under water for three weeks stifles growth. Another thing we’ve learned over the years, on a year like this any feed is better than no feed.

Save perfection for the perfect years.

We’ve also been told that we should hold onto our faith. But even our Lord’s disciples were petrified when the storm was raging and the only Person to ever walk on water was asleep in the back of the boat. The story ended on a good note after they finally woke Him and he spoke the awesome words,

Farm Credit East supports start-up and small farms ENFIELD, CT — Farm Credit East, the largest lender to Northeast agriculture, recently released information on its efforts to support young farmers and operators of small farms. The customerowned financial cooperative provides over $4.3 billion in loans to its members, including 6,852 small farm loans and 3,139 young farmer loans (under 36 years of age).

“A core value at Farm Credit East is to assist young, beginning and small farmers. We understand that the long term strength and soundness of the future of agriculture in the Northeast is dependant on individuals entering the industry” said Bill Lipinski, CEO of Farm Credit East. “We also recognize the demands for capital and financial management skills that make it difficult for these entrants to establish their business, therefore we have put programs in

place, such as Farm Credit East’s Young, Beginning and Small Farmers Incentive Program (YBS) and FarmStart, LLP to assist them in the early stages of their business.”

A young farmer is defined as a farmer, rancher, producer or harvester of aquatic products who is 35 years of age or younger as of the loan transaction date. A beginning farmer has 10 years or less of farming experience and a small farmer normally generates gross annual sales of $250,000 or less.

“Young and beginning farmers face many daunting challenges when getting started in farming,” said Gary Bradley, an executive vice president who is responsible for Farm Credit East’s Young, Beginning and Small Farmers program. To help this growing customer segment get started in the industry, Farm Credit

East’s YBS Incentive program, established in 1995, provides special incentives to program participants. Incentives include discounts on services such as farm accounting software, tax preparation, consulting and appraisal for up to five years. These customers also receive discounts on FSA guaranteed loan fees and interest rate assistance. Farm Credit East’s special incentives for 2010 were $201,964.

In addition to the YBS Incentive program, Farm Credit East started FarmStart, LLP in 2005 for those beginning farmers that do not have the credit history to apply for a traditional loan. FarmStart assists startup operations by providing working capital investments of up to $50,000.

A FarmStart advisor also works one-on-one with each recipient to help develop business skills during the first few

years. As of May 2011 FarmStart has approved 75 investments with total commitments approved over $3 million.

While Farm Credit East is working to grow agriculture in this region, CEO Lipinski urged consumers to support local farmers. He recommended, “As you travel the Northeast this summer, stop by farm stands and farmers’ markets to support your local agricultural community. Today more farmers provide high quality farm products in retail operations, such as farm stands and in city farmers’ markets, where they can reach consumers directly.”

Northeast agriculture is strong for many reasons, including the diversity of its farm operations along with its wide array of farm products.

Northeast farms contribute to a strong agricultural sector that provides wholesome, fresh products to consumers

and essential economic activity throughout the rural communities of New England, New York, and New Jersey.

Farm Credit East extends more than $4.3 billion in loans and has 19 local offices in its sixstate service area. In addition to loans and leases, the organization also

offers a full range of agriculturally specific financial services for businesses related to farming, horticulture, forestry and commercial fishing.

Farm Credit East is governed by a 17-person board of directors from across the Northeast.

July Dairy PROS Meetings to focus on Statewide Dairy Price Recovery HARRISBURG, PA — Agribusiness professionals can learn about the dairy price recovery and its effect on how farmers conduct business by attending one of the July series of Dairy PROS meetings.

“The meetings provide agribusiness representatives the opportunity to expand their networks and knowledge base to help their customers and clients excel,” said John Frey, executive director of the Center for Dairy Excellence. “For the July meetings, we’ve asked ag lenders and service providers to share strategies that can offer participants excellent information and fresh perspectives.”

Dairy PROS meetings are hosted in a series by the center and the Penn State Extension Dairy Team three times each year and are funded in part by a grant from the Department of Labor and Industry’s Workforce Investment Board.

SEEDWAY acquires Olds Garden Seed HALL, NY — SEEDWAY has purchased the business assets of Olds Garden Seed from Winfield Solutions, effective June 30. Founded in 1888 and located in Madison, WI, Olds Garden Seed supplies smallpackage vegetable and flower seed to retailers and gardeners throughout the Midwest and Great Lakes region.

The longstanding and successful Olds Garden Seed brand will be maintained, with inventory, operations and customer service transitioning to SEEDWAY’s Elizabethtown, PA facility. Scott Morgan, Olds Garden Seed Brand Manager, will remain with the organization to lead the brand, as will Chris Coley as customer service lead. In-step with longrange strategic plans, the acquisition enhances SEEDWAY’s business diversity and broadens its position in the smallpackage seed industry while leveraging existing equipment and processing efficiencies.

Workshops also offer a “Take It to the Farm” segment, where extension educators showcase available tools that can help farmers enhance their management, performance and profitability.

Dairy PROS workshop dates and locations are as follows: Tuesday, July 19, at the Lancaster Farm and

Home Center, 1383 Arcadia Road, No. 22, Lancaster, Lancaster County, from 8 – 10 a.m.

Friday, July 22, at Premiere Events, 429 East Orange Street, Shippensburg, Franklin County, from 8 – 10 a.m.

Tuesday, July 26, at Celebration Hall, 2280 Commercial Boulevard, State College, Centre

County, from 8 – 10 a.m.

Wednesday, July 27, at the Comfort Inn, 835 Perry Highway, Mercer, Mercer County, from 2 – 4 p.m.

While the registration fee for these meetings is $20 per person, a new approach to registration offers an incentive to companies that support the center’s Allies for Advancement Program, allowing any member of an

organization who supports the center at a level of $100 or more to attend free of charge.

For more information or to register for the July series of Dairy PROS meetings, visit www.centerfordairyexcellence.org and click on the “Dairy PROS” icon in the middle of the page.

For more information on the Dairy PROS meet-

ing series contact the Penn State Extension Dairy Team at 1-888373-7232 or e-mail questions to askdairyalliance@psu.edu. Information may also be obtained from the Center for Dairy Excellence at 717-346-0849 or email to info@centerfordairyexcellence.org .

AUCTION SECTION and MARKET REPORTS GIPSA rulemaking process broken

by House Agriculture Committee Chairman Frank Lucas As a lifelong cattle producer, I’m well aware that even small changes in government regulations can have a big impact back on the ranch. I hear from

livestock producers every day on a wide variety of issues affecting their ability to produce high quality, affordable meat. In all of these conversations, one issue keeps coming to the forefront: USDA’s proposed rule on

livestock markets.

The Grain Inspection, Packers and Stockyards Administration (GIPSA) has put forward a draft rule that defines unfair livestock marketing practices, prohibits packers from purchasing livestock from another packer, and will inhibit the ability of producers to manage risk and earn premiums for their hard work and expertise in cattle production.

While this rule is intended to promote transparent and efficient markets, I’ve heard testimony from many industry leaders who argue that this rule will hurt the very producers it is purported to help.

In April, the House Agriculture Committee’s Subcommittee on Livestock, Dairy, and Poultry began a series of hearings to examine the current conditions and challenges in the livestock community. Cattle, poultry and pork producers all shared their concerns that the proposed rule not only goes far beyond the scope of the Farm Bill, but also lacks the sound economic analysis that allows us to judge both the need and utility of the proposed rule.

The first hearing, on the beef sector, took testimony from three witnesses.

Jim Strickland, a cow calf operator from Florida; Anne Burkholder, owner of a small feeding operation in Nebraska and Ken Bull, Cargill’s Vice President for Cattle Procurement each presented their views on the state of the beef sector.

Strickland testified that, “Under the new definitions included in the proposed rule, competitive injury and the likelihood of competitive injury are redefined and made so broad that mere accusations without economic proof will suffice for USDA or an individual

to bring lawsuit against a buyer, packer, or processor.”

Burkholder lamented that the proposed rule “...takes away my freedom to market my cattle as I choose. If marketing arrangements are greatly reduced, cattlemen like me are the losers.”

Finally, Bull characterized the proposed rule as “...the single greatest policy threat in the U.S. livestock and meat sector in my 32 years in business.”

I do not take these concerns lightly, and I keep this testimony in mind as my colleagues and I consider the implications of this proposal. I am also mindful that not everyone in the livestock community opposes this rule.

However, there is universal consensus that USDA’s decision will have a tremendous impact on how all livestock are marketed in the United States.

For that reason, it is particularly important that we carefully and thoroughly consider the potential consequences of this rule. I do not believe that USDA has fulfilled that responsibility. Despite the repeated concerns voiced by producers like you, USDA has failed to conduct a timely costbenefit analysis on the proposed rule.

In today’s economy, when every other conversation in Washington seems to revolve around how to improve government spending, cost-benefit analyses are critical. We need to know how much this rule will cost, who will bear those costs, and what we stand to gain in return.

Last fall, the Administration refused to honor a bipartisan request of 115 Members of Congress to conduct a much-needed economic analysis that could be used to address these con-

GIPSA from B1 cerns. In December, the Department reversed course and promised a cost benefit analysis on the rule.

Unfortunately, the Department has turned away requests to perform an independent peer review on the cost benefit analysis, or publish it for comment. It

has become clear that instead of using a costbenefit analysis to aid in decision-making, USDA will simply publish the final rule and include a cost-benefit report at that point. This is not good government; USDA is plowing ahead with its own agenda, ignoring the concerns of producers,

Some call it professional development. Some call it time to hang out with friends who share a passion for organic food. Some call it a family vacation. For anyone wanting to learn new skills, connect with an organization dedicated to ecological sustainability, or move a green business to the next level – the 37th Annual Northeast Organic Farming Association Summer Conference has much to offer.

Fourteen hundred participants will converge on the University of Massachusetts Amherst Aug. 12-14 to share practical knowledge on making organic food part of their careers and family life. Over 225 workshops will be offered on organic farming, gardening, land care, sustainability, and homesteading.

For the first time, this year, the NOFA Summer Conference will feature the Northeast Animal-Power Field Days, providing access to hands-on workshops all weekend on how to utilize draft animals for work on farming

and logging operations.

This year’s conference will also feature special tracks of workshops around particular themes, including: Nutrient Density, Permaculture, an innovative organizing model called Transition Towns, CSA management, Beginning Farmers, Organic Land Care, and Winter Growing.

Workshops on growing a wide variety of specific crops as well as raising many kinds of livestock will also be offered. Teens and kids can take advantage of hands-on learning about growing plants, animal care, and natural crafts.

Award-winning author, Eric Toensmeier, will deliver the Friday evening keynote address on Regenerative and Perennial Agriculture for Climate Stabilization. He points out that climate change is already making the planet less inhabitable, with droughts, floods, and severe weather events on the rise.

He argues that a massive global switch to an agricultural system that is de-

signed to capture carbon, together with a strategy of regional self-reliance is essential to reduce emissions, and provide food security to people everywhere. Toensmeier is the author of “Perennial Vegetables” and co-author of “Edible Forest Gardens.”

In the Saturday evening keynote, Dr. Ignacio Chapela, of the University of California Berkeley, will address the rise of Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs); new genetically engineered crops destined for both the food supply and gas tanks. In March 2011, despite protests from organic farming community, advocacy groups and consumers, the USDA decided to de-regulate genetically modified alfalfa seed. At the same time, global biotechnology giants such as Monsanto, are developing new applications of genetic engineering technology for producing agro-fuels and even pharmaceuticals Chapela is currently working on developing GMO-detection technology for use by communities

seeking to protect the integrity of their seed from genetic contamination.

NOFA is a non-profit organization of farmers, gardeners, land care professionals and consumers working to educate members and the general public about the benefits of a local organic food system based on complete cycles, natural materials and minimal waste for the health of individuals, communities and the living planet.

World Forage Analysis Superbowl to award $22,000 cash The World Forage Analysis Superbowl is seeking entries for the 2011 contest. Big cash prizes are available! The deadline for corn silage entries is Aug. 18, and all other entries are due Sept. 7.

Over $22,000 cash is being awarded this year with each category champion receiving a check for $1,500. Additional cash will be awarded for additional winners in each category. This valuable prize package is made possible by generous supporters, including Platinum Sponsor Mycogen Seeds.

“Every year we’re amazed at the high quality of the forages entered into the contest,” said Dan Undersander, Extension forage specialist at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

“The contest is designed to encourage quality forage production. We encourage you to enter or, at least, to stop by the exhibit in the Arena

building at World Dairy Expo. Where else can you see so much high quality forage in one place?”

Contest categories include: Champion Grass Hay, sponsored by Barenbrug USA; Champion Dairy Hay, sponsored by Syngenta; Champion Dairy Haylage, sponsored by Kent Nutrition Group; Champion Commercial Baleage, sponsored by W-L Research; Champion Commercial Hay, sponsored by Bridon Cordage; Champion Standard Corn Silage, sponsored by Ag-Bag; and Champion Brown Midrib Corn Silage, sponsored by Mycogen Seeds.

All category winners will compete for the coveted Grand Champion Forage Producer honor and the $2,500 cash award, sponsored by NutriSave Forage Management System. In addition to the above categories, winners of the Quality Counts Hay/Haylage and

Quality Counts Corn Silage categories will be named and each will be awarded a $1,000 cash prize, sponsored by Croplan Genetics. The Quality Counts category will be based on a predetermined quality factor, which will not be announced until World Dairy Expo.

Corn silage entrants are encouraged to select a corn silage sample now and simply store it in a 2-gallon air tight container in the freezer until Aug. 18 when the entries are due. All corn silage entries must be from the 2010 growing season.

All other samples must be received at AgSource Laboratories in Bonduel, WI. before Sept. 7. Your $25 entry fee provides entry into the contest and the opportunity to win cash prizes, along with a detailed laboratory analysis of the sample. Participants may enter as often and in as many categories as desired; however, the Commercial Hay

Web-based guide can help keep children safe on farms this summer Summer brings an annual spike in youth injuries on farms. Most injuries occur when children accompany parents into a work area, either to help with chores or play. Keeping young children out of the agricultural worksite, and away from machinery, large animals and open water, can save lives.

An interactive Web guide makes it easy for parents to obtain information on key factors to consider when designing and building a designated play area, www.marshfieldclinic.org/safeplay/keystocreate. The guide features a 3D modeled, Flash-based “virtual” Safe Play Area. It highlights key elements such as fencing, ground cover, play activities, supervision, proper distancing between play structures and injury prevention.

The guide is based on the document “Creating Safe Play Areas on Farms,” published by the National Children’s Center for Rural and Agricultural Health and Safety, Marshfield Clinic Research Foundation, and supported by funds from the National Institute

for Occupational Safety and Health.

“We want to provide busy farm parents with the knowledge they need to create a safer environment that encourages developmentally appropriate play,” said Tammy Ellis, research program associate at the National Children’s Center. “We appreciated the feedback from farm parents who tested our site and reminded us to keep it simple.”

Other Safe Play resources include an abbreviated eight-page “Creating Safe Play Areas on Farms 2010 Mini-edition” in English and Spanish, and a convenient how-to manual to coordinate a Safe Play Area Demonstration at community events. Safe Play handouts on play ideas, fencing and boundaries, and protective ground covering can also be downloaded from www.marshfieldclinic.org/safeplay and shared at events.

For more information, contact the National Children’s Center for Rural and Agricultural Health and Safety, nccrahs@mcrf.mfldclin.edu, or 800662-6900.

Clara and Eric Helleskov of Hilltop Farm in Clayville, NY, were recently recognized with a Dairy of Distinction Sign from the Northeast Dairy Farm Beautification Program in recognition for maintaining a well-kept farmstead.

This organic dairy located in the Southern portion of the county joins the prestigious list of over 30 Oneida County dairy farms and 1,500 farms throughout the Northeast that convey the message to consumers that attractive, well maintained dairy businesses contribute to the positive image of quality dairy products and local agriculture.

Originally from Rensselaer County in Eastern New York, the Helleskovs relocated from their conventional dairy operation to their current location in 2005 with the intentions of exploring the organic milk market.

As luck would have it, they were able to purchase farm land that had been left fallow for nearly five years, allowing them to easily transition into the certified organic market. Slightly more time consuming was the transition process for the milking herd of 43 Milking Shorthorn, Holstein, and Jersey crosses. Despite the challenges associated with preparing to farm organically, the Helleskov were able to achieve certification much sooner than the typical transition period of three or more years.

Eric and Clara have put a significant amount of time and effort into proper-

ly amending their soils in order to achieve optimal nutrition for this intensive grazing herd. All forages are home grown and consist of approximately 55 acres of hay crop silage and baleage, as well as dry hay.

An additional 10 acres is used to grow corn for corn silage. While limitations in land availability prevent the couple from growing their own grains, a minimal amount of purchased organic grain is fed to the milking herd as well as the 43 head of replacements.

This dedicated farming couple tackles the daily grind single handedly with no hired labor and pride’s themselves on the meticulous attention paid to milk quality and maintaining low somatic cell counts (SCC).

Eric attributes the farm’s ability to achieve repeated milk quality and SCC awards to routinely maintaining, servicing and cleaning the milking equipment, while placing emphasis on cow comfort and cleanliness.

Clara has a personal interest in all natural or homeopathic medicine that plays an important role in managing the herd health and fresh cow concerns that she is responsible for. Congratulations to Hilltop Farm!

TRENTON, NJ — On June 29, in an unprecedented and pioneering move, New Jersey’s state legislature became the first to pass a bill to enforce a statewide ban on a controversial gas drilling technique known as fracking.

The legislature was unanimously in favor of the bill, which passed the state Senate 32-1 and the Assembly 56-11.

“Today, New Jersey sent a strong message to surrounding states and to the nation that a ban on fracking is necessary to protect public health and preserve our natural resources,” said Senator Bob Gordon (D-Bergen). “Any benefits of gas production simply do not justify the many potential dangers associated with fracking such as pollution of our lakes, streams and drinking water supplies and the release of airborne pollutants. We should not wait until our natural resources are threatened or destroyed to act. The time to ban fracking in New Jersey is now.”

Fracking involves injecting water, sand and toxic chemicals deep underground to break up dense rock formations and release natural gas. Opponents of fracking cite the high potential for water and air pollution as a leading reason to ban the practice. Over 1,000 cases of water contamination have been reported near fracking sites.

Public opposition to fracking has escalated in recent months, with concerned residents and environmental and consumer advocacy groups campaigning against the practice in New Jersey and the surrounding states, where gas companies have been ramping up plans to drill in the Marcellus

Shale, a rock formation which extends up the East Coast. Fracking operations in Pennsylvania alone are expected to create 19 million gallons of wastewater.

“Fracking is a man-made disruption to the environment, many times on large-scale proportions,” said Assemblywoman Connie Wagner (D-Bergen).

“We’ve already seen a number of eco-casualties from this practice in surrounding states. It would be irresponsible to leave the door open for this practice to be pursued in New Jersey.”

“The New Jersey Legislature is taking the pro-active step of preventing contamination of our drinking water and environment, the only sure way to protect our residents from fracking pollution. This is a great day for the state’s present and future generations”, said Tracy Carluccio, Deputy Director of the Delaware Riverkeeper Network.

According to Food & Water at least 61 localities across the U.S. have passed measures against fracking. On June 16, the Trenton City Council passed a resolution calling for a statewide ban, and earlier this year, Highland Park, NJ, became the first town in the country to call for a state and national ban on fracking.

In the Midwest, where fracking is increasingly common, residents have reported complications ranging from headaches and blackouts, noxious odors in the air and sudden blindness and hair loss among their livestock — concerns which led those living in Dish, Texas, a town located near 11 natural gas compression stations, to hire a private environmental consultant to sam-

ple the air. The consultant found that it contained high levels of neurotoxins and carcinogens, including benzene.

A 2011 Cornell University study found that the process of fracking also releases methane, which according to the EPA, is 21 times more damaging greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide.

Similarly, a study released by researchers at Duke University in April found methane levels in shallow drinking water wells near active gas drilling sites at a level 17 times higher than those near inactive ones.

“This bill is a great victory for clean water in New Jersey and we believe it will be a national model,” said Jeff Tittel Director NJ Sierra Club. “We hope this bill sends a message to the governor to oppose fracking in the Delaware Basin and protect New Jersey waters.”

Earlier this year, the U.S. House and Energy Commerce Committee determined that 14 oil companies had injected 780 million gallons of fracking chemicals and other substances into U.S. wells between 2005 and 2009. This included 10.2 million gallons of fluids containing known or suspected carcinogens.

The companies, however, are not required to disclose the chemicals in fracking fluid, which they claim should be protected as a “trade secret”. They are also exempt from seven major federal environmental laws, including the Clean Water Act. Scientists at the Endocrine Disruption Exchange who tested fracking fluids found that 25 percent can cause cancer; 37 percent can disrupt the en-

docrine system; and 40 to 50 percent can affect the nervous, immune and cardiovascular systems.

Earlier this month Food & Water Watch released a report entitled The Case for a Ban on Fracking. The report reveals how the natural gas industry’s use of water-intensive, toxic, unregulated practices for natural gas extraction are compromising public health and polluting water resources across the country.

Trucks ATA truck tonnage index fell 2.3 percent in May The American Trucking Associations’ advance seasonally adjusted (SA) For-Hire Truck Tonnage Index decreased 2.3 percent in May after decreasing a revised 0.6 percent in April 2011. April’s drop was slightly less than the 0.7 percent ATA reported on May 25. The latest drop put the SA index at 112.3 (2000=100) in May, down from the April level of 114.9.

The not seasonally adjusted index, which represents the change in tonnage actually hauled by the fleets before any seasonal adjustment, equaled 115.9 in May, which was 2 percent above the previous month.

Compared with May 2010, SA tonnage climbed 2.7 percent, although this was the smallest year-over-year gain since February 2010. In April, the tonnage index was 4.8 percent above a year earlier.

“Truck tonnage over the last four months shows that the economy definitely hit a soft patch this spring,” ATA Chief

Economist Bob Costello said. “With our index falling in three of the last four months totaling 3.7 percent, it is clear why there is some renewed anxiety over the economic recovery.”

However, Costello added that he is cautiously optimistic that freight volumes will improve in the second half of the year along with economic activity.

“With oil prices falling and some of the Japanrelated auto supply problems ending, I believe this was a soft patch and not a slide back into recession, and we should see better, but not great, economic activity in the months ahead,” he said.

Note on the impact of trucking company failures on the index: Each month, ATA asks its membership the amount of tonnage each carrier hauled, including all types of freight. The indexes are calculated based on those responses. The sample includes an array of trucking companies, ranging from small fleets to multi-bil-

lion dollar carriers.

When a company in the sample fails, we include its final month of operation and zero it out for the following month, with the assumption that the remaining carriers pick up that freight.

As a result, it is close to a net wash and does not end up in a false increase.

Nevertheless, some carriers are picking up freight from failures and it may have boosted the index. Due to our correction mentioned above however, it should be limited.

Trucking serves as a barometer of the U.S. economy, representing 67.2 percent of tonnage carried by all modes of domestic freight transportation, including manufactured and retail goods. Trucks hauled 9 billion tons of freight in 2010. Motor carriers col-

lected $563.4 billion, or 81.2 percent of total revenue earned by all transport modes.

ATA calculates the tonnage index based on surveys from its mem-

Box 33

The report includes month-to-month and year-over-year results, relevant economic comparisons, and key financial indicators.

Growth energy applauds Lugar proposal to break America’s foreign oil dependence Ethanol plays essential part in “all of the above” strategy WASHINGTON, D.C. — A new proposal from Senator Richard Lugar (RIN) that promotes the use of alternative fuel vehicles will help break America’s foreign oil dependence, according to a statement released by Growth Energy, the leading voice of ethanol supporters.

Senator Lugar’s Practical Energy Plan aims to reduce American dependence on foreign oil by 50 percent and save American families and businesses $33 billion annually by maximizing fuel efficiency, increasing the use of domestically produced renewable fuels and encouraging the development of dual-use vehicles which run on alter-

native fuels, like ethanol.

Growth Energy CEO Tom Buis said, “We commend Senator Lugar for his leadership on this issue. If we are truly going to meet our nation’s renewable fuel goals and substantially reduce our dependence on foreign oil, we need to invest in policies like these that will encourage greater use of alternative fuels, like ethanol. Each additional Flex-Fuel vehicle on the road gives consumers the option of filling up with domestic, homegrown renewable fuel and enhances our national security, all while creating U.S. jobs and greening our environment.”

American Trucking Associations and the Owner Operator Independent Drivers Association together called on the federal government to begin researching how standards for crashworthiness for heavy trucks could benefit America’s professional truck drivers.

“NHTSA has continuously developed crashworthiness standards for automobiles and light trucks, but to date has generally not applied crashworthiness standards to commercial trucks,” the two groups wrote in a June 6 letter to David Strickland, head of the Na-

tional Highway Traffic Safety Administration. “We believe there may be opportunities to enhance the survivability of professional truck drivers if appropriate, research-based, uniform standards are developed.”

Specifically, ATA and OOIDA highlighted the need for improving cab structure and occupant restraints such as safety belts and airbags, strengthening windshields and doors to prevent occupant ejections, and installing more forgiving interior surfaces.

“Our organizations believe that improvements in truck occupant safety can be achieved,” the letter concluded.

“We look forward to working with NHTSA on this and other important highway safety efforts.”

“Making our highways safer, especially for our drivers, is one of ATA’s highest priorities,” ATA President and CEO Bill Graves said. “ATA has made setting crashworthiness standards a part of our progressive safety agenda and we’re proud to stand with OOIDA in calling on the federal

government to take these important first steps that will reduce injuries and fatalities among America’s professional truck drivers.”

Todd Spencer, OOIDA Executive Vice President, said “We are more than glad to join ATA in making this request to hold the safety of professional truck drivers to as high a standard as all other motor vehicle users.

The most valuable, even most precious, cargo truckers haul is themselves and it’s time that our standards reflect that value.”

IRS increases mileage rate to 55.5 cents per mile WASHINGTON, D.C. — On June 23, the Internal Revenue Service announced an increase in the optional standard mileage rates for the final six months of 2011. Taxpayers may use the optional standard rates to calculate the deductible costs of operating an automobile for business and other purposes.

The rate will increase to 55.5 cents a mile for all business miles driven from July 1, 2011, through Dec. 31, 2011.

This is an increase of 4.5 cents from the 51 cent rate in effect for the first six months of 2011, as set forth in Revenue Procedure 2010-51.

In recognition of recent gasoline price increases, the IRS made this special adjustment for the final months of 2011. The IRS normally updates the mileage rates once a year in the fall for the next calendar year.

“This year’s increased gas prices are having a major impact on individual Americans. The IRS is adjust-

ing the standard mileage rates to better reflect the recent increase in gas prices,” said IRS Commissioner Doug Shulman. “We are taking this step so the reimbursement rate will be fair to taxpayers.”

While gasoline is a significant factor in the mileage figure, other items enter into the calculation of mileage rates, such as depreciation and insurance and other fixed and variable costs.

The optional business standard mileage rate is used to compute the deductible costs of operating an automobile for business use in lieu of tracking actual costs. This rate is also used as a benchmark by the federal government and many businesses to reimburse their employees for mileage.

The new six-month rate for computing deductible medical or moving expenses will also increase by 4.5 cents to 23.5 cents a mile, up from 19 cents for the first six months of 2011. The rate for providing services for charitable or-

SELECTION - SELECTION - SELECTION We’ve Got 100+ New & Used Trailers It’s Stock Trailer Time!!

ganizations is set by statute, not the IRS, and remains at 14 cents a mile.

The new rates are contained in Announcement 2011-40 on the optional standard mileage rates.

Taxpayers always have the option of calculating the actual costs of using their vehicle rather than using the standard mileage rates.

Roadmap provides direction for ethanol discussions As Congress discusses possible changes to ethanol tax incentives in the days ahead, NCGA and its allies in the ethanol industry are stressing the common-sense approach of their five-step Ethanol Roadmap as a concrete pathway for the future, especially the importance of the need for market access and infrastructure and consumer choice.

“Americans love being offered choices but when it comes to what fuels their cars and trucks can use, they often have no choice,” NCGA President Bart Schott said. “Expanding flex-fuel vehicles can offer drivers a much wider selection so they can make decisions that are right for their particular uses, for the environment, and for the national economy.”

The Ethanol Roadmap, released this spring by NCGA, the American Coalition for Ethanol, Growth Energy, and the Renewable Fuels Association, lays out these five broad steps forward: 1. Reform the current ethanol tax incentive program.

2. Expand consumer fuel choice by increasing the number of flex-fuel vehicles.

3. Empower consumer choice by investing in biofuels infrastructure, including blender pumps and pipelines.

4. Base greenhouse-gas accounting on sound science.

5. Ensure feedstock neutrality in developing advanced biofuels.

“Corn growers and the ethanol industry are always looking to the future, and we take nothing for granted,” Schott said. “Just as we are committed to continuous improvement in what we do on the farm or in the mill, we also are committed to taking a fresh look at what can help stabilize the industry and allow it to grow in an atmosphere where the competition — foreign oil — has dominated for so long.”
