Southern hospitality charms Eastview Farm visitors by Jon M. Casey For the more than 260 National Holstein Association members and guests who took the opportunity to tour Eastview Farm, near Beaverdam, VA, during the 2011 National Holstein Convention, the rule of the day was Southern hospitality at its finest as the Nuckols Family opened their farm to visitors on June 23. With more than a dozen family members and friends hosting a morning snack break that featured traditional “down home” favorites like homemade sausage/cheese balls and mini-ham biscuits, association members took the time to wait patiently in a receiving line where matriarch of the family Elsie Nuckols, and her great granddaughter, Molly Apel, took time to greet every visitor. From there, the remainder of the tour was spent socializing under a favorite shade tree in the Nuckol’s side yard, near the house. Elsie, began farming with her late husband, Page, in 1955 when they purchased the farm. Their sons F.C. and Wayne bought their first Holsteins in the late 1960s and together, they began what has become one of the foremost Holstein operations in Virginia. More importantly, F.C. and Wayne’s sons Matt and Taylor, respectively, have joined in the ownership and management of the daily operations of Eastview Farm. Matt and Taylor look to continue the 1000-acre family farming operation well into the future. Visitors were encouraged to spend some time on a self-guided tour of the
facilities, which included a walk through the heifer barn where some of the farm’s premium producers were tethered on display for all to admire. From there, they headed out to a nearby paddock, where the milking cattle were grazing on this overcast, but comfortable summer day. The Nuckol’s herd numbers approximately 250 Purebred Registered Holsteins, and they milk approximately 120 cows per day, achieving an RHA of 25,000 pounds, with a BAA of 107.7. They feed a TMR three times per day and milk twice daily in a double-four milking parlor. The cattle ration routinely consists of corn and barley silage, with grain that includes ground corn, distiller’s grains, soy meal, corn gluten meal and whole cottonseed. Ingredient blends may vary depending on the season and commodity prices at the time. They grow their own forages on 350 acres of cropland, which includes 200 acres of corn and 80 acres of soybeans. These crops are rotated along with 120 acres of small grains through the winter. Nuckols also harvest hay from another 40 acres of land. Taylor Nuckols said that they are proud of their embryo transfer program that has them marketing their cattle worldwide. Offspring from the herd have gone to places like Japan, Mexico, Canada, Germany, Italy and Spain. For more information on Eastview Farm Inc., contact them at 804-9382043.

The Ladies of Eastview Farm, who served as hostesses and caterers for the Holstein Association Tour, included family members and friends who turned out to welcome nearly 300 visitors to the farm.
The milking parlor and free-stall barn were built in 1959. Many believe that this parlor, built by two men using only hand tools, may have been the first installation of a herringbone parlor in the state of Virginia.
by Jennifer Showalter HARRISONBURG, VA — Most young farmers want that new tractor or piece of equipment sitting on the lot with all the bells and whistles, but not John Sellers. Instead, this 24-year old is more interested in preserving the past and admiring the craftsmanship of antique farm machinery. Sellers comes from a long line of farmers. “Currently, on my father’s side of the family, we still farm the acreage that was acquired through the Land Grant Act administered by Thomas Jefferson. The land was acquired circa 1788, and has been in our family ever since,” said Sellers. “I was always interested in farming and the equipment used as far back as I can remember. One of my first toys as an infant was a John Deere tractor. I guess what really got me interested in the antique machinery was the fact that when I was a child, basically since I was born, my father would take me to antique tractor shows just to look at the old tractors. I began to get interested in it quite a bit, and eventually, I had reached the point where I wanted one. The Oliver 77 always caught my eye at these shows. It was a sharp looking tractor, and it ran very smoothly. I purchased my first tractor my senior year of high school, which was an Oliver 77. After that, I pretty much got addicted with collecting them, and the number of tractors around here at home has grown significantly.” During Sellers junior year of high school he went to work for Whitesel Brothers, a local John Deere dealership, as a service technician. After high school, Sellers spent two years in the John Deere Ag Tech program in Jamestown, NC. He then returned to Whitesel Brothers, where he still works today as an agricultural equipment service technician. “Working on modern machinery as a profession, I often look at the equipment of yesterday and am fascinated by how they worked and what they did. That is what pretty much gives me the desire to bring some of the old machinery back to life and make it run again,” said Sellers. Sellers collection has grown to consists of seven antique Oliver tractors, an Oliver threshing machine, an Oliver grain drill, and a Frick corn sheller. Sellers also has a grain binder that he recently acquired and hopes to be able to get into running condition for next year’s harvest. He is currently using a grain binder owned by Willie Davis, the

All of Sellers’s tractors are used on the farm for such things as making hay, working ground, and planting crops. His corn sheller is not in working condition at this time. Davis has been a huge influence on Sellers and has helped him establish his antique line of farm machinery. “While my father was the one who got me into tractors, Mr. Davis was the one who got me into threshing. He has also taught me much about the harvesting process. I suppose he has been a mentor for me through this whole process. It is a goal of both he and I, that these machines and this whole concept of how grain was harvested 100 years ago is passed down from generation to generation. Mr. Davis is in his mid-60s, and he has done much to pass the information and concept down to me. I hope to pass it on to the next generation,” said Sellers. Being a full-time mechanic does not allow Sellers to spend as much time on his family’s farm as he would like. He helps his dad out when possible with the family’s purebred Suffolk replacement ewe flock and raises a few acres of small grains each year to harvest with the threshing machine. “I produce enough (grain) to pay for expenses, and have a little left over. The older machines have become worn with time

and can be quite delicate, so I try to keep operation of both the threshing machine and the grain binder to a minimum,” said Sellers. This year Sellers planted about two acres of oats, an acre of wheat, and a half an acre of barley. Sellers takes pride in his equipment and tries to keep it in the best working order as possible. “The best way to keep these machines running is basic proper maintenance,” said Sellers. He has an owner’s manual for each piece of equipment and tractor he owns and he follows the maintenance procedures outlined in the manuals. “Basic common knowledge and good common sense also goes a long ways with preserving and keeping these machines in running condition,” added Sellers.
The connections that Sellers has developed with a few firms in the Midwest, salvage yards, and parts specialists coupled with his use of the Internet and classifieds, allows him to usually be able to get his hands on parts for his machinery without much trouble. Finding parts for the threshing machine has been a little more challenging for Sellers. Many of its parts have to be fabricated by a machine shop or by hand. Sellers has a special place in his heart for antique farm equipment, but admits that it tends to not be as safe or as durable as modern day equipment. “One of the biggest challenges with running this machinery is safety. Today’s machinery is considerably safer to run and operate than those of yesterday. The manufacturers (of the past) never considered shields or guards on equipment when they designed them. This is where good common sense and knowledge of the equipment comes into play. And probably the other big challenge of running the equipment is knowing when you’re pushing the equipment too hard. As mentioned before, this machinery has become delicate with time and does have wear. You have to take it easy with it and know when you’re pushing too hard. Parts aren’t readily available for the machinery, and one wrong move could cause the machine to not work for days or weeks until you find or fabricate the part, or even permanently if you can’t find a part.” Young farmers with the knowledge of and love for antique farm machinery like John Sellers are few and far between, but individuals like him are what keeps the history going from generation to generation. Without enthusiasts like Sellers, antique farm machinery would be forgotten.

Penn State Dairy Science Club tops Quiz Bowl The Penn State Dairy Science Club received national recognition when it was named the Outstanding Chapter for the fifth straight year at the American Dairy Science Association/American Society of Animal Science Student Affiliate Division annual meetings held in New Orleans, July 11-14. The award is based on an annual report of chapter activities, participation in the ADSA Student Affiliate Division, club publications and Web sites. In reacting to this extraordinary success, Philip Bachman, Ulysses, PA, president of the Club, said, “I believe that Penn State's continued success nationally is a testament not only to the quality and integrity of the program and professors at Penn State, but also to the quality and integrity of the students it attracts.” The dairy quiz bowl team placed first, capturing the ninth quiz bowl title in 11 years. Members of the quiz bowl team included Bachman; Stephen Bond, Jim Thorpe, PA; Daniel Hartzell, Slippery Rock, PA; and Kilby McIntyre, Sugar Grove, PA. Amy Yeiser, Arnold, MD, was elected 2011-2012 president of the ADSA Student Affiliate Division. Yeiser, a senior animal sciences major with a business management option and ag business minor, said, “I am really
excited for the opportunity and for the challenge.” She will work closely with Robert F. Roberts, Ph.D., associate professor of food science at Penn State, who became president of ADSA. Other recognitions for the Penn State Club include: The Penn State Dairyman yearbook edited by Sarah Caldwell, Beaver Falls, PA, was named first place digital yearbook, and the club’s paper version placed third. The Penn State Dairy Science Club Web site (www.clubs.psu.edu/up/dairyscienceclub), coordinated by Rebecca Shaw, Williamsburg, PA, placed second. Yeiser placed second in the Dairy Production Undergraduate Presentation Contest with her talk, “Genetic selection for feed efficiency in dairy cows.” Sarah Weimer, Emlenton, PA, earned third place in the Dairy Foods Undergraduate Presentation Contest with her talk, “Dairy super foods: antioxidants could make the difference.” Ashlee Brigham, Waterloo, NY, competed in the Original Research Undergraduate Presentation Contest with her project, “The associations of conductivities and California Mastitis Tests on a robotic dairy farm.” Dr. Terry Etherton, Head of the Department of Dairy and Animal

Penn State Dairy Science Club members who traveled to ADSA meetings in New Orleans, are, from left, Philip Bachman, Daniel Hartzell, Kolby McIntyre, Hannah Wentworth, Billie Jo Kiel, Ashlee Brigham, Amy Yeiser, Stephen Bond and Derek Wasson. Sarah Weimer is not in the photo. Photo courtesy of Penn State Science, said, “It is a truly incredible honor for the Club to be named the Outstanding Chapter for the fifth consecutive year, a well-deserved recognition of the members’ tremendous commitment and dedication to excellence. It is also reflective of outstanding support and leadership from a truly caring and committed faculty. Placing high is so many categories of recognition is exceptional — I congratulate the entire club for its diligence throughout the year.” Ten members participated in the national meeting, including: Bachman; Bond; Brigham; Hartzell; Billie Jo Kiel, Portage, PA; McIntyre; Weimer; Hannah Wentworth, Quarryville, PA; and Derek Wasson, Centre Hall, PA; and Yeiser. Advisers for the club are Chad Dechow, Associate professor of Dairy Cattle Genetics, and Dale Olver, instructor of Dairy and Animal Science, who accompanied the students to the national meeting. The Penn State students joined approximately 100 students and advisors from other universities in addition to the more than 3,000 professionals and guests who participated in the meetings from the United States, Mexico, Canada and around the world. Olver said, "The ADSA Student Affiliate Division meetings provide an
outstanding avenue for the students to network with dairy science students from other universities as well as to meet industry leaders and researchers from around the country. Our delegates gain valuable ideas that help to enrich and improve the events offered by the Penn State Dairy Science Club." The students took part in business meetings, various contests including the Undergraduate Paper Presentations, a career symposium and an awards luncheon. Students also attended oral and poster sessions presented by professional members of the organization. The students attended the meetings as members of the American Dairy Science Association Student Affiliate Division (ADSA-SAD). The ADSA-SAD is a division of the parent organization that works to develop leadership and promote scholarship among students interested in the dairy industry, and to encourage students toward careers in dairy science. There are more than 500 undergraduate student members in ADSA. ADSA was established in 1906 as a scientific and educational association to serve the dairy and dairy-related industries. It facilitates the discovery, application and dissemination of dairy science knowledge and information.
Collect DNA samples now Plan ahead so there’s time to evaluate information As fall sale season quickly approaches, producers utilizing DNA technology should begin the sample collection process as soon as it’s practical, says Kent Andersen, Ph.D., associate director global technical services, Pfizer Animal Genetics. “If producers want to present DNA information on sale cattle, it’s imperative they plan ahead for two reasons,” he said. “First, there needs to be enough time for samples to be processed and results returned to the breeder. And, second, both sellers and buyers need time to evaluate the information prior to sale day.” Dr. Andersen recommends breeders collect and submit DNA samples 60 days prior to when catalog materials are due and if possible, collect two samples — especially for important animals.
“While it should not take the full 60 days to process the samples and return results, it’s best to allow a little extra time to ensure all information will be ready at press time,” he said. “Inevitably, there may be a few samples in each batch that cannot be processed. Therefore, having a spare sample on hand will save that animal another trip through the chute and the producer the time of collecting another sample.” “Given that DNA testing has become a mainstream seedstock production practice, incorporating sample collection from all animals into routine cattle processing, such as preconditioning, pregnancy checking, etc., ensures that stored samples are available for convenient submission whenever they are needed,” Dr. Andersen said.

23 states, at 8.46 million head, were up 11,000 from May and 106,000 above a year ago. Output per cow averaged 1,819 pounds, up just 2 pounds from June 2010. California production was up 3.4 percent from a year ago, thanks to 19,000 more cows and a 45 pound gain per cow. Wisconsin was down 1.6 percent on a 35 pound loss per cow. Cow numbers were up 4,000 head. New York was up 0.3 percent on a 5 pound gain per cow. Cow numbers were unchanged. Idaho was up 5 percent on 16,000 more cows and a 40 pound gain per cow. Pennsylvania was down 2 percent on a 40 pound loss per cow. Cow numbers were up 2,000. Minnesota was down 4.6 percent on an 80 pound loss per cow. Cow numbers were up 1,000 head. The biggest gain was in Texas, up a Texas-sized 10.3 percent, thanks to 24,000 more cows and a 75 pound gain per cow. Colorado was next, up 6.8 percent, followed by Washington, up 6.3 percent. Minnesota showed the biggest decline, followed by Ohio, down 4.2 percent, and Illinois, off 3.7 percent. USDA reports in its weekly update that Cali-
fornia production has declined in most areas, being affected by hot weather. Heat is also impacting Midwest and Eastern output as the "heat dome" covered 1 million square miles of the U.S. USDA's latest Livestock Slaughter report morning shows 219,000 dairy cows were culled under Federal inspection in June, 1,000 head less than in May, but 5,000 more than June 2010. A total of about 1.46 million cows were culled in the first six months of 2011, up from 1.37 million in 2010. The August Federal order Class I base milk price is $21.43 per hundredweight, up 40 cents from July, $5.66 above August 2010, the highest since November 2007, and equates to about $1.84 per gallon. The 2011 Class I base average now stands at $18.91, up from $14.74 a year ago and $10.95 in 2009. The Class III advanced pricing factor be-
came the "higher of" in driving the Class I value and National Milk's Roger Cryan does not predict a MILC payment for producers. The NASS-surveyed butter price averaged $2.0291 a pound, down 10 1/2-cents from July. Nonfat dry milk averaged $1.6571, up a penny. Cheese averaged $2.1308, up 33.7 cents, and dry whey averaged 54.7 cents, up 2.7 cents. Cash cheese prices strengthened the third week of July, particularly the block price. It closed Friday at $2.1550 per pound, up 9 3/4cents on the week, reversing three weeks of declines, and is 55 1/4cents above a year ago. The barrels closed at $2.1250, up a penny and a half on the week, and 56 1/2-cents above a year ago. Nineteen cars of block traded hands on the week and only one of barrel. The NASS-surveyed U.S. average block

Mielke from 5 price hit $2.1336, up 2.3 cents, while the barrels averaged $2.1243, up 2 1/2-cents. Jerry Dryer wrote in his July 15 Dairy & Food Market Analyst that "Sub-two-dollar cheese prices are not too likely too soon." He reports that demand is "holding up much better than almost everyone had thought" and that "Mother Nature is now starting to take a bite out of the milk supply and the solids content of the milk." One of his sources told him; "The block price will move through the previous high ($2.28) with ease as reality settles into the marketplace this summer. That reality: There will not be enough cheese to go around this fall." Cash butter closed a penny higher on bids, at $2.04, 24 cents above a year ago. Nothing was sold on the week. NASS butter averaged $2.0250, down a penny. The California Milk Producers Council (MPC) newsletter says "There's increased interest in cream for manufacture of soft and frozen products, which gives some butter plants the option to sell cream rather than build butter inventories. Buyers are having to roll the dice," says MPC, "Buy now for the fall and be sure of a full supply or wait until prices come down." It adds that USDA's Dairy Market News reports butter sales are "about normal for this time of year, a surprising observation considering the level of retail prices and the listless restaurant business." May butter exports were slightly higher than the year before, but MPC warned, "There are signs that the end of the global shortage of butterfat may be in sight." Prices continued to weaken in the July 19 Global Dairy Trade (Fonterra) auction. The CME's Daily Dairy Report shows the weighted average price for skim milk powder was $1.58 per pound, down 20 percent from the June 1 event. Whole milk powder, at $1.58 per pound, was down 11 percent, anhydrous milkfat was $2.09 per pound, down 19 percent. Cheddar cheese for industrial use debuted on the auction and garnered an average winning bid of $2.10 per pound for September delivery and $1.86 for October. Speaking of the inter-
national market; Cooperatives Working Together accepted six requests this week for export assistance from Dairy Farmers of America and Darigold to sell 1.6 million pounds of Cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese to customers in North Africa, Asia, and Central America. Grade A nonfat dry milk headed the opposite direction closing Friday at $1.5250, down 8 1/2cents on the week. Extra Grade remained at $1.61. NASS powder averaged $1.6510, down 1.4 cents, and dry whey averaged 55.21, up 1.1 cent. The MPC reports that "Buyers of dry whey may be more interested in looking ahead than are manufacturers. Supplies are tight in the eastern part of the country and in balance elsewhere. Demand is steady from domestic users while exports in April and May were lower than the year before as well as the two preceding months. Production is being controlled by the rate of cheese manufacturing, which is being influenced by the amount of milk that is available, which is being affected by the weather." Looking "Back to the futures;" the Federal order Class III contract's average for the last half of 2011 was $18.34 per hundredweight on June 10 and 17, $18.21 on June 24, $18.19 on July 1, $18.54 on July 8, and $19.29 on July 15. Milk production continues to rise despite high feed prices, according to USDA's Livestock, Dairy, and Poultry Outlook. Climbing domestic commercial use and exports act to keep milk and dairy product prices high, the report said. Cow numbers were forecast to fall slightly in 2012, but production is expected to continue to climb. Higher milk production will likely lead to lower milk and product prices in 2012, according to the Outlook. The June Acreage report indicated that producers planted 92.3 million acres of corn, up 4.1 million acres from last year, and the second highest since 1944. The prospects for a larger crop in 2010/11, coupled with larger beginning stocks, resulted in lower expected corn prices compared with last month's forecast. Corn prices were forecast at $5.50-$6.50 a bushel. Soybean meal
prices were lowered from last month's forecast to $345-$375 a ton. While corn and soybean prices in 2011/12 are likely to be lower than earlier season expectations, forage prices could remain near record highs. Nationally, alfalfa prices set a record high in May. The June Acreage report confirmed expectations that the harvested area of alfalfa hay and alfalfa mixtures had declined from 2010. The expected harvested area decline, along with severe drought in parts of Texas
and the southwest and excessive wetness in parts of the northwest (which adversely impacted first cutting), will keep alfalfa hay prices high for the rest of 2011 and into 2012. "On balance, the change in feed ingredient prices will offer only scant relief for dairy producers," says USDA, "As the benchmark 16-percent protein ration will likely remain well above 2010 for both the balance of 2011 and 2012." May fluid milk sales totaled about 4.4 billion pounds, according to
USDA data, down 1.9 percent from May 2010 after adjusting for calendar composition. Estimated sales of total conventional fluid milk products decreased 2.4 percent while total organic fluid products increased 21.9 percent. The slippage in milk consumption has long plagued the industry and was the topic of conversation in Monday's DairyLine with Dairy Management Incorporated's David Pelzer. Per capita consumption has fallen for all but one of the past 25 plus years,
he said, but total milk sales continue to grow because the U.S. population is growing. Milk consumption per person is slipping, he admitted, but DMI does not agree with those who believe that we can't change that trend no matter what we do. He warned however, that we can't reverse that trend until we do what our competitors are doing, be they bottled water, soda, or other beverages. Modern packaging and modern market tech-

With the addition of Flower Industry sessions, and the Direct Marketing sessions bringing in a speaker on livestock direct marketing, plus our labor sessions which will also be important to dairymen, the name Empire State Fruit and Vegetable Expo 2012 just doesn’t cover it all,” laughs Marvin.

Revisiting ethanol’s impact on corn and feed prices As the debate over ethanol policy continues in Washington, reviewing recent research on the subject of ethanol and corn prices may prove insightful especially when one set of ethanol opponents blames the biofuel as the leading cause of higher livestock and poultry feed prices. “There is a lot of false rhetoric out there about the impact of ethanol policy on corn prices and by extension the price of food and feed,” said NCGA President Bart Schott. “The research does not support this rhetoric and it is time to move past this and work together for stronger economic security and a broad approach to energy independence that can help reduce costs.” Last month, Bruce Babcock of Iowa State University released a report for the International Centre for Trade and Sustainable Development that looked at the impact of the ethanol blender’s credit on corn prices and found that corn prices would have been only up to 17 percent lower had the credit not been extended in late 2010. The report also extends its consideration to prices of corn products and sees a dimin-
ishing effect. “Ethanol subsidies have not been the major driver of higher commodity prices,” the report states. “The impact of U.S. ethanol policies through higher feed costs on consumer prices of eggs, beef, pork and broilers was even smaller. The largest impact on any of these products was a two-cent-perdozen (1.1 percent) increase in egg prices. All other product prices were impacted by much less than 1 percent.” This report is similar to an April study by Babcock and Jacinto Fabiosa, which found that the corn price spike of 2008 would have happened without ethanol expansion. “First, the general pattern of corn prices that we saw in the historical period-increasing prices in 2006 and 2007, a price spike in 2008, followed by a sharp price decline in 2009 — would have occurred without ethanol subsidies or even if corn ethanol production had not expanded,” Babcock and Fabiosa state. “Second, investor fervor for corn ethanol in 2005, 2006, and 2007 would have occurred even without subsidies because a
combination of cheap corn, a phase-out of MTBE, and higher crude oil prices made ethanol profitable. Thus, ethanol production would have expanded quite rapidly even without subsidies. The researchers state that actual corn prices increased by an average of $1.65 per bushel from 2006 to 2009 and that only 14 cents (8 percent) of this increase was due to ethanol subsidies. Another 45 cents of the increase was due to market-based expansion of the corn ethanol industry. This is not a new theory. At the height of the last spike in corn prices back in 2008, Texas A&M University’s Agriculture and Food Policy Center issued a report that drew
F UEL similar conclusions. This report looks not at the ethanol incentives, but at the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) itself. “Relaxing the RFS does not result in significantly lower corn prices,” the researchers note. “This is due to the ethanol infrastructure already in place and the generally positive economics for the industry. The ethanol industry has grown in excess of the RFS, indicating that relaxing the standard would not cause a contraction in the industry.” Ethanol production also helps the livestock industry, Schott noted, because when corn is converted to ethanol only
the starch is used. Distillers grains is a valuable coproduct that retains all the non-starch food and feed value of the corn used for ethanol. it provides all of the protein, minerals, nutrients, and oil from corn and returns it into the livestock feed supply chain. Distillers grains availability will displace approximately 1.2 billion bushels of corn in livestock rations this year, providing a high-quality, high-value feed product for livestock producers. At approximately $200 per ton, this provides corn-equivalent protein and nutrients for livestock feed at the price equivalent of less than
$1.75 per bushel. In an article July 4, agriculture reporter and commentator Gary Truitt says that the livestock industry is doing agriculture a disservice in its attack on ethanol. “Amidst our great diversity, we must find common ground and support each other in an effort protect a sector that is to vital to the U.S.,” Truitt said. “Having a safe and sustainable meat and milk supply is just as important as having a functioning renewable fuels industry to lessen our dependence on imported oil.” Source: NCGA News of the Day, Tuesday, July 5

by Stewart Truelsen Isn’t it about time we praised All-American food, the food we like to eat at a picnic or outdoor barbecue? We’re talking about hamburgers, hot dogs, fried chicken, sweet corn, potato salad, fresh fruit, ice cream and many other favorites. Yet, we are often made to feel guilty about enjoying our favorite foods. The cheeseburger has become the graphic image for any news story about overeating and obesity. The potato, a staple of the American
diet, has been unfairly criticized and threatened with withdrawal from school nutrition programs. Snacking is considered a bad habit and heaven forbid you should want an Oreo cookie. The drumbeat of negativity in the media about American food and eating habits is nothing new, of course. Throughout the nineteenth century, critics railed about condiments of all things. Mustard, ketchup, salt, pepper and cinnamon were thought to be too stimulating. Sylvester
FOCUS ON AGRICULTURE
Graham, the food critic of 150 years ago, said, “The stern truth is that no purely stimulating substances of any kind can be habitually used by man without injury to the whole nature.” Today, of course the culprits in the diet are pegged as fat, salt and sugar, and certainly there is scientific evidence to cause us to monitor our intake. But books and articles that roundly attack American food and the way we grow it simply go too far and sound remarkably
like Graham and other critics from the past. Dr. David A. Kessler, a former FDA commissioner, has written a bestselling book, The End of Overeating. He takes some of the usual swipes at food companies and marketers, but he adds, “The only eating plan that will work for you is one built around the personal likes and dislikes you have accumulated over a lifetime.” Kessler sees nothing wrong with eating a reasonable-size hamburger or strips of bacon.

The NDE mixer will cut and mix long stem fiber in an even, consistent ration. They are built with quality components, simple to maintain, while mixing fast and efficiently with NO dead spots. They really do work! Why buy any other mixer? Third generation Montgomery County, VA, dairyman Dickie Bishop, is a believer in the benefits his NDE provides. Previously Dickie used a stationary horizontal mixer in their operation, but his father suggested he look at going to a vertical mixer to get a better blend. Dickie’s decision was reinforced by another local producer, Bill McDonald, who owns an NDE himself and said he felt it was the best one out there. Dickie purchased his 1502 NDE this spring. The ability of his NDE to consistently blend a uniform ration is very important to the Bishops. Using a low inclusion microbial supplement, from Heartland Microbials, (call 540-239-7309 for details from Dickie), makes it imperative that you get a consistent uniform mix. His ability to blend long stem fiber into his ration with alfalfa baleage, rye bales and baled barley has been a real plus. Before he had to pre-grind and then blend. He eliminated that step/cost. They feed a two group TMR and seem to be well pleased with the cow’s response. Very few metabolic problems crop up now. That wasn’t always the case. Dickie also enjoys working with Dennis Trissel, who sold them the unit, and provides them with whatever advice and service that they need.

American Farm Bureau Federation problem for Americans is with what he calls “hypereating,” or indulging too much. One suggestion he has is to substitute the rewards of healthy exercise for the kind of rewards we get from eating highly palatable foods. Fortune magazine recently honored the hotdog as one of the “100 Greatest Things about America,” a well-deserved accolade. We should do even more to praise the All-American foods that are such a source of pride at family gatherings around picnic tables or backyard
grills. These are the foods that have become part of the American dream and create so many happy memories. Summertime brings out the very best of these All-American food choices, including a wide array of locally grown fresh fruits and vegetables. It’s time to stand up for AllAmerican foods and drop the guilt and negativity. Stewart Truelsen is a regular contributor to the Focus on Agriculture series and is the author of a book marking the American Farm Bureau Federation’s 90th anniversary

The Kitchen Diva by Angela Shelf Medearis Beautiful Blackberries Blackberries are one of the great gifts of summer. The berries bloom from mid- to late June, and in most parts of the county, start ripening toward the middle of July. Ripe and unripe blackberries frequently appear on the plants at the same time. The berries are small, green, hard and sour at first, becoming larger, juicier and sweeter as they ripen. Here are some great blackberry facts, tips and a recipe to help you with your summer berry picking and eating! Blackberry Facts: • Select plump, firm and fully black berries. Unripe berries will not ripen once picked. • Do the math and be careful not to over-purchase, as blackberries quickly mold when left at room temperature and only last a few days in the refrigerator. • You easily can freeze berries that you can’t use right away — just wash, cut the hulls off and spread the berries out on a baking pan. Place the berries
in the freezer. When frozen, place them into a re-sealable bag, pressing out as much air as possible, and then freeze the berries. • The U.S. Department of Agriculture says 1 cup of blackberries has about 62 calories. • A cup of blackberries, not packed down, weighs almost one-third of a pound. • Blackberries were enjoyed by the ancient Greeks, who believed them to be a cure for diseases of the mouth and throat, as well as a preventative against many ailments, including gout. • The blackberry leaf also was used as an early hair dye, having been recommended by Nicholas Culpeper, the 17th-century English herbalist, to be boiled in a lye solution in order to “maketh the hair black.” • Blackberry tea was said to be a cure for dysentery during the Civil War. During outbreaks of dysentery, temporary truces were declared to allow both Union and Confederate soldiers to “go blackberrying” to forage for blackberries to ward off the disease.

Byproducts of a dream by Stephen Wagner Kingsway Manufacturing was born “five or six years ago,” according to its entrepreneurial overseer, Ben King. That was when King came up with the idea of creating, “for anyone who wants them”, customized composting tumblers. In doing that, the Lancaster County, Pennsylvaniabased Amish farmer is nurturing a thriving side business, having sold 22 of his specialized creations last year and 12 so far this year. These tumblers are designed to specifications for a wide variety of farming and business interests ranging from farms, packing houses, butcher shops, you name it. Even a prospect as unorthodox as a detention center in Wisconsin was looking to buy one for food waste. Back in the day, King would borrow a neighbor’s manure spreader, with manual components. It was while working with this equipment that his mind began to turn over possibilities of composting applications, more automated, in designs of his own. Shortly thereafter, Kingsway was born. Composting itself is almost as old as time, employing any number of ways to accomplish what has to be composted. Formal writings first appeared in ancient Roman writings in the first few decades of Anno Domini. In the 1920s, composting was modernized in Europe as an organic farming tool. A friend of mine composts livestock on the farm, a process that takes nearly six months from start to finish. King’s method abridges the process to about two weeks. Just two weeks? “If you don’t stir it at all, yes, it does take up to six months. You can get the
right bacteria in there,” King says, “to make it go fast. With this, it turns four times a day and there’s plenty of oxygen there for bacteria to really work at it.” We talked about popular trends in composting such as horse manure. “Anyone with a couple of horses can use this model,” he said, and showed me the model in question. “It’s good for six to eight horses; all the manure produced by six to eight horses is about 2000 gallons. We have one ready for a man in Lebanon, PA.” Stepping over to another compost tumbler, he said that “this one is going for mortality in a chicken house. All mortality go in here and a little bit of litter or straw; it’s better to use straw than litter. If you have the right kind of carbon with the chicken and if you have enough moisture (not too much), in two weeks there are hardly any bones left. If I let it in there a little while longer, by getting a bigger tumbler, there will be nothing.” “We’re getting into dairy manure for bedding,” King said. “You’ve got to have a reception pit, and from there it goes
through the solids separator.” King also sells the solid separator. “And from there it goes into the drums with the liquids going out into the big lagoon. Solids go into the drums where they stay for 24 hours, just enough time to sanitize it.” According to the Cornell Waste Management Institute, the amount of manure composted on a livestock farm is often determined by cleaning schedules, land availability, and weather conditions. Each type of manure has its own physical, chemical, and biological characteristics. Cattle and horse manures, when mixed with bedding, possess good qualities for composting. Swine manure, which is very wet and usually not mixed with bedding material, needs to be mixed with straw or similar raw materials. Poultry manure also needs to be blended with carbonaceous mate-

Report confirms flaws in government Chesapeake Bay analyses WASHINGTON, D.C. — An updated report on the science surrounding Chesapeake Bay water quality confirms that serious and significant differences exist between the Environmental Protection Agency’s “Bay Model” and the model authored by the Agriculture Department. Left unchanged these differences could lead to farmers in the watershed paying a steep price for nutrients and sediments that have been mistakenly attributed to them, according to the American Farm Bureau Federation. The analysis, conducted by LimnoTech and commissioned by the Agricultural Nutrient Policy Council, shows there are vast differences between the EPA and USDA Chesapeake Bay models in the areas of land use, total acreage of the Bay watershed and data and assumptions about farmer adoption of conservation and farming practices. “It is clear to us that the EPA’s TMDL water regulations are based on flawed information,” said AFBF President Bob Stallman. “Due to the fact that farmers and others in the Chesapeake Bay Watershed are being directed to incur extreme costs and even take land out of production to comply with EPA’s harsh new regulations, those regulations must be based on reliable information. Currently that is not the case.” As a result of the federal agencies’ disagreement in key areas such as conservation and farming practices used by farmers in the watershed, and the number of acres that fall within watershed borders, there is a wide discrepancy in the nutrients and sediments being attributed to agriculture. Given USDA’s superior knowledge of
agriculture and farming practices, Stallman said EPA’s disregard for USDA information is not acceptable. “We all want a clean Chesapeake Bay,” Stallman said. “Farmers in the watershed have made tremendous investment to put conservation practices in place to protect the bay, and they are doing more every day. “While we need EPA and USDA to work together to resolve these key differences, ultimately we believe that the types of regulations put in place for the bay by EPA are unlawful. This is a job for our state governments, not the federal government. But, since federal regulators are pursuing restrictive regulations on our farms, they should at least base their actions on credible facts.” A copy of the LimnoTech report is available at http://nutrientpolicy.org/ ANPC_News.html.

Horse industry grant applications being accepted ANNAPOLIS, MD — The Maryland Horse Industry Board (MHIB) will be accepting grant applications for non-profit research, educational and promotional equine activities, beginning Aug. 1. The board intends to award more than $20,000 in grants that support or develop new opportunities for Maryland’s horse industry. Applications must be received by Sept. 30. “The horse industry is a critical component of Maryland’s economy. There are more than 79,000 horses in Maryland, and more than 28,000 citizens are employed in the equine industry,” said Agriculture Secretary Buddy Hance. “The Maryland Horse Industry Board works very hard to stimulate growth and opportunity in
Conference from 15 drilling operation and a windmill operation. They also visited Masco Cabinetry, Vulcraft Metal Truss, Northern Tier Solid Waste Authority, Hagens Dog Food Plant, Antler Ridge Winery, C.C. Allis and Sons sawmill, Bradford County Conservation District and Cargill Packing. At the PAAE Awards & Recognition Banquet, Denise Sanner, past president of PYFA, was given the Oustanding Cooperation Citation for her outstanding support of agricultural education and her efforts to forge a closer relationship between PYFA and PAAE. Tyler Claypool, 201112 Pennsylvania FFA Sentinel, New Galilee, attended the meeting as the new FFA representative to the PYFA Board. He will join Benjamin Shughart, Carlisle, who is serving the second year of his term, and replaces Caleb Wright, Alexandria, who has completed his service. PYFA members visited the Troy Fairgrounds, enjoying the Historical Society’s Farm Museum, the oldest living farm museum in the country. A picnic dinner was held there. The mission of PYFA is to educate and promote the environmentally appropriate production, marketing and processing of food, feed and fiber. For more information, visit www.payoungfarmers.com.
Maryland’s equestrian community. This grant program is one way it helps spur needed innovation and encourage those most committed to the industry.” Funding for the MHIB and its grants come from The Maryland Feed Fund, which collects $6 on every ton of horse feed sold in Maryland. It is an effective model for how industry groups can
help themselves, without relying on taxpayer dollars. Since the Fund was established in 2002, MHIB has awarded nearly $200,000 in grants to more than 175 projects throughout Maryland. Organizations eligible for MHIB grants include non-profit organizations, clubs and associations, businesses, farms and stables, government entities,
schools and educational institutions. Projects will be evaluated for their value to the industry, degree of industry promotion, size and scope of activity, financial need, potential for matching funds, benefits and quality of the written presentation. The Board recommends that grant requests not exceed $10,000. The largest grant awarded to
date was $8,000; the average grant amount is about $1,200. Grant recipients will be announced on or before Dec. 1. Funding will be available after Jan. 1, 2012. Projects must be completed by June 30, 2012. For an application and more complete grant guidelines, see www.mda.state.md.us/h orseboard/grants.html The Maryland Horse
Industry Board was established in 1998 to promote and develop the equine industry in Maryland. For more information about MHIB or the Feed Fund, visit www.mda.state.md.us/ horseboard or call Ross Peddicord, executive director, at 410-8415798 or e-mail peddicrd@mda.state.md.us.

Mielke from 6 niques are a couple areas, Pelzer cited, and he said we need to tap into the value added market such as what McDonalds has done with fluid milk sales to build its beverage business. He mentioned their latest additions, lattes, Frappes, Smoothies, and now Liquados, a Mexican drink targeting the growing Hispanic population. "Milk is a prime ingredient in those beverages," he concluded, "Plus the market prowess that McDonalds has and you can see the potential for increased sales." The Alliance of Western Milk Producers reported in its newsletter that, in response to the scoring of National Milk's "Foundation for the Future" (FFTF) dairy policy proposal by the Congressional Budget Office, that two changes had to be made in order to have a program cost that is less than the current system. First: when the Margin Protection part of the program is activated the percentage of a producer's production base milk that will be paid the guaranteed minimum margin will be reduced to 75 percent from 90 percent.
Second: whenever the Milk Stabilization program is in force and there are penalties paid by producers who produce in excess of their bases, 50 percent of that penalty money will be paid directly to USDA. The other 50 percent will be used to either buy product from the market place for distribution to the needy or will be invested in enhancing markets for dairy products. The balance of the FFTF program will remain as proposed. The National Farmers Union weighed in on last week's draft legislation which incorporates key elements of the FFTF, made available by the House Agriculture Committee's ranking member, Collin Peterson (DMN.) NFU President Roger Johnson said, "While we are very appreciative of Ranking Member Peterson's proposal to initiate meaningful and necessary dairy reform, our Board of Directors feels that the proposal in its current form is inadequate." He said "The current proposal would not provide a safety net for all dairy farmers, particularly family-sized opera-
tors. A fundamental problem with this proposal is that it appears that the largest farmers will reap the greatest benefits at the expense of smaller family farms." Dairy Profit Weekly reports that, through the first two quarters of
2011, Minnesota milk production has been down 1.1 and 3.2 percent, respectively. Yet, the Minnesota Milk Producers Association contends its members would have been penalized under the proposed FFTF Dairy Market Stabiliza-
tion Program. In addition, MMPA says the "margin insurance" safety net provision of the plan "falls far short of current Milk Income Loss Contract program benefits; and federal order reforms benefit areas with higher Class I
(fluid milk) utilization, further discriminating against Upper Midwestern milk producers." And, Editor Pete Hardin of the Milkweed blasted the FFTF. It's posted on his website at www. themilkweed.com .
Remember the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) that passed last year? We won a hard fought battle, securing appropriate food safety rules for small-to-midsized farms and processors producing fresh and healthy food for local and regional markets. This law will be implemented by one of the agencies with food safety authority — the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Now, USDA’s Agricultural Marketing Service, is proposing to establish a set of food safety regulations for leafy greens (spinach, lettuce, and cabbage) growers and handlers who sell into the wholesale market, called the National Leafy Greens Marketing Agreement (NLGMA). The most powerful players in the leafy green industry are pushing the
National Leafy Greens Marketing Agreement (NLGMA). The sellers, processors, or distributors that sign on to the rule will require that the farmers they purchase from comply with its standards. The rule adds a second and conflicting layer of food safety standards and audits on top of FDA food safety rules. How to comment: USDA is seeking written comments from the public on the NLGMA proposal by July 28. Write USDA today to urge them to reject this proposal or visit www.ams.usda.gov/AMSv1.0/LeafyGreensAgreement Here are some suggested points to make: • I oppose the creation of a National
The September Issue of
Leafy Green Marketing Agreement, which I believe to be the wrong approach to address food safety concerns. • The Agricultural Marketing Service is not a food safety agency. It is bad public policy to create food safety regulations in order to address the “marketing” goal of increasing consumer confidence in the safety of leafy greens. Food safety policies should be driven by science, not by marketing problems. • The NLGMA, as proposed, would give the large conventional produce industry the ability to dictate farming practices. Small scale and organic farmers would have a very small voice in the standard-setting process. • The NLGMA is modeled on state food safety agreements in California and Arizona. In those examples, the conventional produce industry has pushed through food safety regulations that are biased against organic and small-scale farmers. • Diversified farming operations with complex rotations have been shown to be beneficial to the environment. Yet crop-by-crop food safety regulations,
such as the NLGMA, are an economic disaster for diversified farming operations, and are biased toward large mono-cultural operations. For a farmer with 40 crops on 100 acres to comply with 40 different food safety regulations is prohibitively burdensome. Crop specific food safety regulations, such as NLGMA, will drive farmers out of environmentally sensitive diversified crop production. This is counter to the goals of food safety and more environmentally sound agriculture. • The Food and Drug Administration is currently writing regulations to establish food safety standards for produce. Why is AMS proposing to establish standards that conflict with or duplicate the FDA standards, with the conventional leafy greens handlers in the drivers’ seat? The NLGMA is a disaster waiting to happen, for Massachusetts farmers, consumers, the environment, and ultimately for food safety.
