Pennsylvania Dairy Princess Pageant

by Gabrielle Murphy 2011-2012 Pennsylvania Dairy Princess Sept. 22-24 was the Pennsylvania Dairy Princess Pageant, held in Camp Hill. Thirty-three talented County Princesses attended the three day pageant.

Thursday, we all had the opportunity to mingle with others by having a pizza social and a scrapbook party that night. It was so neat to see all the different scrapbooks each princess had and the different promotions they had attended so far.

Friday was the start the judging process. Skits, scrapbooks, poster displays, and radio spots were judged throughout the day along with individual interviews with the four main judges. It was a very long day but it was fun as we watched each other’s skits and mingled in the hospitality room and ate so much wonderful food that was available to us. That night we went to a secret location that turned out to be the beautiful Capitol Building. We were given a tour of the building and learned about its history.

After the tour we ate dinner with the judges and had a dance party! Who can honestly say they got to party in the Capitol Building? I know all of the Pennsylvania County Princesses can say that and that we all had a blast!

Saturday was the conclusion of the three-day Pageant with presenting speeches to the judges Saturday morning. At lunch on Saturday we had an awards banquet where the girls who won first and second in each category were announced along with all the honorable mentions.

Then came the time we were all looking forward to, The Pageant.

During the pageant the ladies who won first and second in Speeches, skits, and radio spots got the opportu-

nity of presenting in front of 350 plus people who attended the pageant that night. Starting off with the 2nd place skit, Samantha Bliss, Huntingdon County Princess, was Santa’s head Elf. Following her skit was the 2nd place speech winner, Deidra Bollinger, Lancaster County Princess. Her speech was geared towards legislators and talked about the economy.

Caitlyn Pool, Berks County Princess, was the first place skit winner with her skit about basketball and the nine essential nutrients. After the first place skit was the first place speech with Gabrielle Murphy, York County

Princess. Her speech was also geared towards legislators and talked about how being a dairy princess has affected her and the importance of the economy.

Top seven finalists were: Courtney Brant from Somerset County, Samantha Bliss from Huntingdon County, Renee Grove from Franklin County, Caitlyn Pool From Berks County, Deidra Bollinger From Lancaster County, Gabrielle Murphy from York County, and Kelly Jay from Bedford County. The 2011-2012 State Royalty Team was announced after the awards and the farewell speech

from the 2010-2011 State Dairy Princess, Marissa Weidensaul. The results were: 2nd Pennsylvania Alternate Dairy Princess from Somerset County, Courtney Brant; 1st Pennsylvania Alternate Dairy Princess from Lancaster County, Deidra Bollinger and the Pennsylvania Dairy Princess from York County, Gabrielle Murphy.

I, Gabrielle Murphy, the Pennsylvania Dairy Princess, wanted to say how I learned so much from the pageant and I enjoyed every moment of it! I think all of us enjoyed ourselves and getting to know everyone so much better. This year is going to open so many doors for the new State Royalty and speaking on behalf of the team I know we will do great. We will meet so many new people, learn so much, promote this wonderful industry with passion and along with that keep promoting in our counties.

Thank you to everyone who supported this young group of County Princesses at the Pageant and thank you to all of the sponsors of the pageant and of the Pennsylvania Dairy Princess Promotions and Services without all of your help, dedication, and support this would not be possible. I am looking forward to traveling across Pennsylvania with the State Royalty Team promoting the dairy industry.

Remember how important the dairy industry is, how hard farmers work to produce a pure whole and nutritious food, MILK, and how much it impacts our health and economy. For the farmers let’s be open armed to those who have not experienced the dairy life style because that is the easiest and most impacting way we can teach people about what you, the dairy farmers, do.

Brookside Dairy turning on-farm waste into energy INDIANA COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA — Managing manure on a large dairy farm takes serious planning, and Brookside Dairy is adopting new technology that that saves money and protects the environment.

The family Seven generations of Georges have lived at Brookside Dairy since 1781.

Now Bill George and his two sons, Kevin and Keith, along with Keith’s son Shane, are partners on the farm, with Kevin overseeing the dairy operation while Keith manages the 1,200 acres of crops.

The dairy operation The Georges expanded their herd in 2001 to milk 550 dairy cows in a 200 by 300 foot freestall barn with 326 stalls.

The high ventilation barn features 28 five-foot fans at one end that produce a 7.5 mile per hour wind to keep the cows cool during hot weather.

A sprinkler system uses water to cool the cows, and rubber matting on the floors provides cushion for the cows as they walk through the barn.

With the expansion came increased electricity costs for the new barn and more

The Georges began researching options to address the new issues that arose, specifically an anaerobic methane digester.

Keith says there were several reasons for considering a digester on their dairy operation “economics, odor control and the resulting better quality fertilizer.”

The decision The Georges sought help

from Jim Resh, of the Indiana County Conservation District, to investigate installing an onfarm digester. They found a digester would meet the specific needs they were considering.

The renewable energy produced through the biogas is set up to offset the farm’s electricity use and/or sell at wholesale rates to the local utility.

The conversion to biogas

results in less odor-causing compounds in manure in a typical liquid storage system.

The breakdown of manure in the digester converts the organic nitrogen into ammonium which, when spread on the fields, is more readily available when taken up by the plants, allowing for less nutrient runoff. The process also reduces weed seeds in the fields, causing fewer weeds growing among the crops.

The digestion process also reduces methane, a greenhouse gas, emissions that would otherwise remain in the atmosphere for nine to 15 years.

After deciding it was a viable option and met the needs of their farm, the Georges secured an Energy Harvest Grant from the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection. The grants are designed to help fund projects that address energy and environmental issues.

The digester They opted to install an anaerobic digester, which means no oxygen is involved in the process of using the cow manure to produce a biogas of methane and carbon dioxide.

Microorganisms in the manure perform the decomposition process.

The manure is removed with automatic alley scrapers from the barn and is combined with waste water from the milking parlor, along with food wastes from a local brewery and Pittsburgh restaurants.

Four times a day, 3,000 gallons of manure is pumped into the digester, which holds 260,000 gallons.

“The digester is like a cow — it likes to be fed at the same time with the same quality feed every day,” said Keith.

The digester is a 14-feet deep concrete pit and covered with a dome made of plastic and cloth. A 100- horse power motor that is run on the biogas operates a 90 kilowatt generator to keep the digester in constant motion. All the machinery is automated and run through a computer system.

The manure spends one month rotating in the digester at 98 degrees Fahrenheit after which it is pumped to the manure solids building where the nutrient-rich liquid, or effluent, is pressed out to a

by Stephen Wagner Skies were gray as they had been for the past two weeks but the threat of flood waters inundating the large arena at the Pennsylvania Farm Show Complex had mercifully subsided. Waters were ebbing in the nearby Susquehanna River, the source of the overflow, and the 2011 All American Dairy Show was wrapping up another successful year, packing up and going home. All that was left to do was the judging of the Supreme Champion.

“It is the end of the show,” said Rita Kennedy, AADS President. “We're here now to pick the best cow of the best breeds. To be selected as Supreme Champion helps the breeder sell embryos and advertise their cattle for sale.”

Always present at this event is a sense of showmanship.

The large arena, which boasts the best and brightest lights in the Complex, is darkened as the nominees for the title are paraded through one at a time under a spotlight. The voice of veteran public address announcer Jean Kummer echoes throughout the arena's nooks and crannies describing the nominee, how much milk they give and other pertinent information for judges to consider. When the judges have made their decisions, those

papers are passed to those who tally the results. The process is incredibly simple and fast. No trumpets sound.

No fanfare of any sort, actually. The lights have been back on for the judging, and when the winner is announced, photographers, reporters, other breeders and officials cluster around the winner for mass congratulations.

Frederick 2783 Adventure, a six-year-old Jersey owned by Craig Walton, Emily Thornburg, Gene Iager, Shelby and Harold Rader, Jr., and Amy, Scott, Skip and Steve Lackey of Pleasant Plain, Ohio, was named Supreme Champion. Cargill Animal Feed and Nutrition, Inc. sponsored the $3,000 cash award garnered by the winner.

Adventure was chosen from among the top seven breed champions by the judges who placed 1,183 head of cattle in the open shows.

The judges were Eric Topp, Botkins, Ohio; Lee Barber, DeWitt, Iowa; Daniel Sivesind, Waukon, Iowa; Ronald Heffner, Middletown, MD; Larry Schirm, Laurelville, Ohio, who judged 'Adventure' in the Open show; Ted DeMent, Kenney, IL; and Matthew Lawrence, Mercer, PA. The six other All-American Grand Champions were: Ayrshire: Sunny Acres

Brookside Dairy Continued from A2 400,000 gallon holding pit. The effluent is pumped from the pit and spread onto the fields every two months.

The separated dried solids are used for bedding the freestalls, which require 20 tons per week to keep the stalls clean and dry.

Pennsylvania is home to more than 50 operational or proposed anaerobic digesters, with more than half in the Chesapeake Bay watershed. Most digesters are located on dairy and swine farms.

The capital costs for installing a digester are dependent on many factors including number of animals, type of digester and site-specific conditions.

The estimated range is from $500,000 to more than $1 million.

The results Keith believes, in the five years since the digester was installed, Brookside Dairy has already seen the benefits of the investment.

“The digester produces enough energy to power the farm in addition to 55 homes each day,” said Keith. “We’ve also seen an improvement in the quality and yield in the crops with the better fertilizer we can spread on the fields, and we’ve had no negative effect on the cows’ health as a result of using the solids for bedding.”

All told, the time and cost involved in adopting this project has had a positive effect on Brookside Dairy, making good business and environmental sense.

The freestall barn is a high-ventilation barn. The 28 five-foot fans produce a 7.5 mile per hour wind that keeps the cows cool.

After the manure is circulated through the digester at Brookside Dairy, the solids are separated and dried and used for bedding. The remaining liquid, or effluent, is spread onto the fields as fertilizer.

Ag Secretary announces payments to expand production of biofuels Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack has announced that USDA will make payments to more than 160 energy producers in 41 states to support and ensure the production and expansion of advanced biofuels.

“Renewable energy production will create tens of thousands of direct, American jobs; thousands more indirect jobs, and clean electricity to power millions of homes. The payments I am announcing today represent the continuing commitment of the Obama administration to work with producers to provide the biofuel necessary to reduce our nation’s dependence on foreign energy sources,” Vilsack said. “The payments support America’s growing advanced biofuel industry.”

The payments are authorized under the Bioenergy Program for Advanced Biofuels (Section 9005 of the 2008 Farm Bill) and are made to eligible producers to support and ensure an expanding production of advanced biofuels. Payments are based on the amount of biofuels a recipient produces from renewable biomass, other than corn kernel starch. Eligible examples include biofuels derived from cellulose, crop residue, animal, food and yard waste material, biogas (landfill and sewage waste treatment gas), vegetable oil and animal fat.

To see a list of the recipients announced today click here.

Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack For example, Ever Cat Fuels has been selected to receive a $98,507 contract payment to help offset the costs of producing almost 881,000 gallons of biodiesel at its plant in Isanti, MN. Ever Cat uses the Mcgyan process to produce biodiesel, which efficiently and economically converts feedstock plant oils and animal fats to biodiesel. Ever Cat produces three million gallons of biodiesel annually and is the first commercial plant designed to use the Mcgyan technology. The plant began operations two years ago, creating 20 full-time jobs.

In Corinth, ME, Corinth Wood Pellets was selected to receive a $31,406 contract payment continue to produce and sell premium-grade wood pellets

A total of 18,224 metric tons of wood pellets were produced to generate 298,873,600,000 BTUs. This energy generation supports the Obama administration’s ongoing efforts to reduce our reliance on fossil fuels by turning solid feedstock into alternative fuel that is used to heat residential, industrial and commercial buildings.

USDA funding for this enterprise is expected to support 11 industry jobs.

On Sept. 8, President Obama presented the American Jobs Act in an address to Congress. The purpose of the American Jobs Act is simple: put more people back to work and put more money in the pockets of working Americans. The American Jobs Act is specific. It will put people back to

work right now, and it will not add to the deficit. Through a combination of direct spending, such as infrastructure investments, and tax relief, such as an extension of the payroll tax cuts, it will lead to new American jobs.

Since taking office, President Obama’s Administration has taken significant steps to improve the lives of rural Americans and has provided broad support for rural communities. The Obama Administration has set goals of modernizing infrastructure by providing broadband access to 10 million Americans, expanding educational opportunities for students in rural areas, and providing affordable health care. In the long term, these unparalleled rural investments will help ensure that America’s rural communities are repopulating, self-sustaining and thriving economically.

FOCUS ON AGRICULTURE

by John Hart When the U.S. Farmers and Ranchers Alliance was formed in November 2010, organizers knew that the task ahead would be daunting. After all, this was the first time ever that all of agriculture would come together under one banner to increase its share of voice in the food conversation arena.

“This is a historic joining together of farm or-

ganizations,” said American Farm Bureau Federation President Bob Stallman, when the formation of USFRA was announced. “We are committed to developing a well-funded, longterm, coordinated campaign to increase consumer trust in agricultural producers and the food system.”

Stallman, who serves as chairman of USFRA, would be the first to tell you that USFRA faces skeptics who doubt that all sectors of agriculture with disparate interests can work together in a united effort. But as USFRA approaches its first anniversary, it is proving the skeptics wrong. USFRA is financially strong and the current membership of 49 organizations, representing groups as diverse as egg farmers and rice producers, is united in the goal to engage in a dialogue about the value of modern food production.

The public conversation with consumers and food decision makers has begun. On Sept. 22, USFRA held “The Food Dialogues” a connected, town-hallstyle meeting at four locations across the country — Washington, D.C., New York City, Fair Oaks Farms in Indiana and at the University of California-Davis. The live event was also viewed online by consumers and farmers alike and was quite the buzz on social media platforms such as Twitter.

During the dialogues, USFRA released the results of two national surveys that polled farmers and consumers about food and farm issues. The results of those surveys further underscore the difficult task at hand. The surveys show that consumers think about food production constantly and are interested in knowing about the food they eat, yet they know very little about how

food is brought to the dinner table.

This finding doesn’t surprise Stallman. At the Washington, D.C. town hall, Stallman said the results of the survey underscore the need of farmers and ranchers to do a better job of reaching out to consumers. The good news, he says, is that farmers and ranchers want to open up to their customers and become more transparent.

The consumer survey makes it clear that Americans have become disconnected from their food. A staggering 72 percent surveyed know nothing or very little about farming and ranching. Still, 70 percent said their purchase decisions are affected by how food is grown and raised, while 72 percent say they think about the topic when purchasing groceries.

Another important finding of the survey

shows that consumers expect farmers to produce healthy foods, with 79 percent of those surveyed saying producing healthy choices for all consumers is very important for farmers and ranchers to consider when planning farming and ranching practices.

In the survey of farmers and ranchers, a whopping 86 percent responded that the average consumer has little or no knowledge about modern farming and ranching. A clear result of the survey was that farmers and ranchers believe the top misconception they must overcome is the notion that a few “bad actors” represent all of agriculture. Additionally, farmers and ranchers identified the role of pes-

ticides, antibiotics and fertilizers in food production as the most important priorities they should address when communicating with consumers.

The results of the survey underscore the daunting task USFRA faces. But the dialogue has begun and leaders of USFRA are committed to engaging, openly and honestly answering questions about how food is grown and tended. Already, USFRA is proving the skeptics wrong. Stallman and other USFRA leaders have one clear message to consumers: “We’re listening.”

Biodiesel industry producing record volumes, fueling job creation Industry success in weak economy shows power of productive federal policy WASHINGTON, D.C. — U.S. biodiesel production reached a new monthly high of 81 million gallons in June, according to the latest EPA statistics, marking a third consecutive month of record volumes and continuing a remarkable turnaround in which biodiesel production in the first half of 2011 has already eclipsed production for all of 2010.

The new numbers — coming after Congress reinstated the biodiesel tax incentive this year — demonstrate the power that strong domestic energy policy can have in helping create jobs and economic activity.

Despite the weak economy, the biodiesel industry is on track to produce at least 800 million gallons this year, more than double biodiesel production of 315 million gallons last year, when Congress allowed the biodiesel tax incentive to temporarily lapse. According to a recent economic study, this year’s rejuvenated production will support more than 31,000 U.S. jobs and generate income of nearly $1.7 billion to be circulated throughout the economy. It also is expected to generate an es-

timated $345 million in federal tax revenue and $283 million in state and local tax revenues.

“We’ve dramatically increased production and doubled our number of employees at a time when many industries are shrinking or treading water,” said Ben Wootton, owner of Keystone Biofuels in Camp Hill, PA. “It’s like night and day from 2010. I think that’s a testament to biodiesel’s staying power as an advanced biofuel and also to strong federal policy. We’re a young industry, and we wouldn’t be where we are today without the tax incentive — and a lot more people would be standing in the unemployment line.”

Added Joe Jobe, CEO of the National Biodiesel Board, the industry trade association: “Policy makers should take a look at our experience over the last couple of years. It’s a textbook case in how sound energy policy equates to sound economic policy.

Congress should not allow the biodiesel tax incentive to expire again at the end of this year. In this kind of economy, we need every tool we have.”

Since the introduction of the $1-per-gallon biodiesel tax credit in 2005, U.S. biodiesel production climbed steadily until 2010, when Con-

gress allowed it to lapse temporarily as the health care debate overshadowed other issues. Production immediately plummeted from a record of about 700 million gallons in 2008 to about 315 million gallons in 2010.

The industry has bounced back quickly this year, after Congress reinstated the tax incentive in December 2010 and the EPA included biodiesel as an Advanced

F UEL Biofuel in its new Renewable Fuels Program (RFS2), requiring minimum volumes of biodiesel use in U.S. fuels. In the first six months of this year, U.S. biodiesel production already has exceeded 375 million gallons.

The tax credit is again slated to expire in December of this year, threatening industry momentum and jobs.

Senators Maria Cantwell, D-WA, and

Charles Grassley, RIowa, have introduced S. 1277 to extend the tax incentive for three years.

Representatives Aaron Schock, R-IL, and Collin Peterson, D-MN have introduced a similar bill, H.R. 2238, in the House.

Biodiesel is America’s first advanced biofuel — a renewable, clean-burning diesel replacement that is reducing U.S. dependence on foreign petroleum, creating green jobs and improving our

environment. Made from an increasingly diverse mix of resources such as agricultural oils, recycled cooking oil and animal fats, it is the first and only commercialscale fuel used across the U.S. to meet the Environmental Protection Agency’s definition as an advanced biofuel. It is produced in nearly every state in the country and can be used in existing diesel engines.

The U.S. company known for inventing the premiere high-tension banding castration tool on the market is now introducing a lighter, sleeker version designed to bring the same humane, user-friendly technique to newborn calves, sheep and goats.

No-Bull Enterprises is unveiling the next generation of innovation in bloodless castration with the Callicrate ‘WEE’ Bander™, an instrument crafted from surgical quality, corrosion resistant stainless steel. It is designed to insure proper ligation with every application — the key to effective humane castration and a signature feature of the Callicrate Bander® which has been manufactured and distributed worldwide since 1991 with more than

50,000 units sold.

Achieving adequate tightness is the single most essential component in reducing stress during banding, according to animal welfare experts like Colorado State University animal science professor Temple Grandin.

“Previously, the only banding option available for the smaller animals was the green elastrator ring,” says inventor Mike Callicrate, owner of No Bull Enterprises, based in St. Francis, KS. “We used the same simple technology, but combined it with a means of attaining proper tension, resulting in a complete ligation. In replacing the elastrator rings, which lack sufficient tension and are considered the most stressful method of castrating young ani-

mals, the ‘WEE’ Bander™ also provides an alternative to castration with a knife, which is probably the second most stressful method you can use.”

Studies of high tension banding have demonstrated that the complete negation of blood flow triggers a natural analgesic effect that blocks pain while minimizing swelling and related complications.

“While in New Zealand testing our high tension banding technology, I castrated a set of lambs with veterinarian John Southworth,” Callicrate says. “All of the lambs receiving the elastrator rings showed extreme discomfort,” Callicrate continues. “They were rolling around bleating and kicking. The lambs with the high-tension

Callicrate bands, both newborn and larger in size, were comfortable and back suckling their mothers right away. We checked on the lambs frequently. The lambs with elastrator rings were still showing signs of pain 24 hours later.

The high-tension banded lambs were lying around comfortably and nursing, similar to what we would expect to see based on our results with cattle.”

Those findings are consistent with research at the University of California-Davis, which showed high tension banding generated a more localized immune response with no discernable depression in appetite or rate of gain when used on young bulls.

“The stress of using an elastrator ring, which lacks sufficient tension to block pain, doesn’t meet the public’s heightened standards for humane animal treatment,” Callicrate says. By insur-

Blacksburg, VA. Beef Producer, Bill Mc Donald of McDonald Farms (Circa 1763) is shown with his 4yr. old NDE 804 Vertical Mixer. Bill is a breeder of Black Simmental and Black Angus seedstock with the herd currently split 2/3 Black Simmental & 1/3 Black Angus.

Having previously utilized a feed wagon and a bale bed on his truck to feed, Bill was looking for a more cost effective and efficient way to feed his cattle. After consideration and evaluation of several brands of mixers, Bill chose to purchase an NDE unit.

Here are some of the benefits he has seen 1.) Reduced hay consumption by 1/3 (less waste than before) and more efficient use of what he has. 2.) 17% improvement in fuel consumption (less steps) 3.) Reduction in feeding time (3hrs/day on 250 head on feed) 4.) Ability to accurately deliver & fine tune the volume he wants to feed with his Weigh-Tronix digital scale system.

5.) Ability to utilize more grazing acreage vs. making additional hay on that acreage (helps to reduce days on feed) Bill credits his NDE rep. Dennis Trissel with being there for him whenever the need arises. Other than basic routine maintenance (grease) the NDE unit takes care of itself and keeps on going!

thumb tab to secure the band firmly in place. The process of tightening the band around the testicles to reach proper compression is very quick and simple and requires no cutting of the banding material.

“The bands are specially formulated to withstand and maintain the high tension needed for consistent results,” Callicrate says. “The correct formulation and curing of the rubber gives it the elasticity, strength and memory for fail-proof application.”

Like the Callicrate Bander®, the Callicrate ‘WEE’ Bander™ is made in the USA using the highest quality materials.

It is essentially maintenance free. Five loops are included with each ‘WEE’ Bander. Additional loops can be purchased in bags of 25 or 100.

For more information, visit www.callicratebanders.com or call 800858-5974.

Power take-off safety is important for parents and children

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?

ing proper application of the band, the Callicrate ‘WEE’ Bander™ measures up to the increasingly rigorous worldwide emphasis on animal care and well-being.

Not only is the Callicrate method for hightension banding the most stress-free castration method for the animal, it’s also easiest for the person performing the operation.

With the Callicrate Bander®, band application is mechanically assisted to insure consistent results every time.

The ‘WEE’ Bander™ is even lighter weight, just as fast, effective and bloodless, but requires no manual cutting or crimping of the rubber loop.

The process works like this: the operator loads a rubber loop on a triangular nosepiece at the front of the applicator and places it around the testicles of the newborn calf, lamb or goat. Once both testicles are within the loop, the operator simply releases a small

generally work to move energy from a tractor to a smaller device such as a grain auger, hay baler or pump can present extremely hazardous situations to humans, especially children.

One of the most common injuries that occurs with PTOs is PTO entanglement. Due to the rapid rotation, people often get caught by the fast-moving PTO shaft and injured before they have time to react to the situation.

“The demonstrations we often do during Safety Days show what happens to a straw-filled dummy when it comes into contact with a rotating PTO shaft. This is a great opportunity for kids to really see firsthand just what these machines are capable of. If even one life is saved from these dangerous devices, our work is well worth it,” says Bernard Geschke, program specialist with the Progressive Agriculture Foundation® (PAF), an organization that helps rural communities provide safety and health education to children ages 8 to 13.

As a parent, there are several things you can

teach your child to reduce the likelihood of a PTO-related injury or death. Educate your children on the importance of doing the following: 1. Always remove the keys to the engine before leaving the tractor seat to make sure the PTO will not accidently start running.

2. Make sure all equipment safety shields and guards are in place and properly working before working near a PTO device.

3. Wear tight-fitting clothes and keep hair out of the way. A baggy sleeve or hair can easily get caught in a PTO device.

4. Never step over a PTO device even when it is shut off. Stepping or reaching across a PTO can lead to entanglement.

5. Children should stay away from PTOs that are operating, and children under 18 should never operate a PTO device.

Safety tips such as these are examples of the things children learn when they attend Progressive Agriculture Safety Days®, which are held each year in approximately 400 local communities throughout North America.

HARRISBURG, PA — The Pennsylvania Infrastructure Investment Authority (PENNVEST), working in conjunction with the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), will host auctions this fall for the sale and purchase of nutrient credits in the Susquehanna and Potomac watersheds.

There will be two “spot” auctions of verified credits, applicable to the 2011 compliance year. Both auctions will afford wastewater treatment plants in these two watersheds to purchase

credits as a means of meeting their nitrogen and phosphorous discharge limits for the compliance year.

PENNVEST is conducting these auctions as a component of Pennsylvania’s nutrient credit trading program to encourage the trading of nutrient credits in the Susquehanna and Potomac watersheds. The Nutrient Credit Trading program provides a costeffective means for facilities subject to meet limits for nitrogen, phosphorus and sediment to meet those limits by

working with other facilities, with nonpoint sources, or both.

PENNVEST has chosen Markit to provide the platform for enrollment and eligibility, auctions and registry services.

The schedule for the auctions is as follows: • Oct. 5 — application information from potential auction participants due to PENNVEST; • Oct. 12 — application information finalized by PENNVEST and potential auction participants; • Oct. 26 — PENNVEST informs potential

auction participants on their eligibility to participate in the auction; • Nov. 2 — PENNVEST conducts first spot auction; • Nov. 4 — PENNVEST announces first spot auction results; • Nov. 9 — PENNVEST conducts second spot auction; • Nov. 11 — PENNVEST announces second spot auction results.

To acquaint users with the electronic auction platform, an information meeting will be held Sept. 14 from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. This meeting

NFU president says trade with Cuba makes sense National Farmers Union (NFU) President Roger Johnson issued the following statement after the U.S. Senate Appropriations Committee passed an amendment to allow direct cash transfers between U.S. and Cuban financial institutions by a vote of 20-10: “NFU is encouraged that the Senate Appropriations Committee passed the amendment that would allow U.S. and Cuban financial institutions to directly transfer payments to each other. Currently those payments must be routed through a financial institution in another country, leading to additional fees and complications.

“NFU has long been a supporter of trade with Cuba.

These self-imposed restrictions hurt our own domestic producers and make U.S. trade less competitive.

The U.S. has exported $4 billion of agriculture goods to Cuba since 2000, and that number will grow with the elimination of this unnecessary trade barrier.

“At a time of high unemployment and stagnant economic growth, allowing direct cash transfers between the U.S. and Cuba provides a unique opportunity to create jobs and stimulate economic development in rural America. U.S. farmers and ranchers should be able to do business with customers in the United States’ backyard. It just makes sense. I encourage the full Senate to pass this amendment in its current form as quickly as possible.”

Home,, Family,, Friendss & You Peanuts pack a punch of nutrition (NAPSA) — Increasingly, many healthcare professionals are promoting the benefits of a plant-based diet.

For instance, the 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans point out that a shift in food intake patterns to a more plant-based diet-one that emphasizes fruits, vegetables, whole grains and nuts-can help Americans live better.

Peanuts and a healthy diet Here’s how peanuts can play a role in such a diet: • Plant-based proteins, such as peanuts, do not contain cholesterol and have relatively low levels of saturated fat. In fact, the FDA has approved peanuts as part of a heart-healthy eating plan, saying “scientific evidence suggests, but does not prove, that eating 1.5 ounces per day of most nuts, including peanuts, as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol, may reduce the risk of heart disease.”

• Peanuts and peanut butter are nutrient rich. At 7 grams per serving, peanuts have more protein than any other nut.

• According to the latest USDA food guidelines, we should all consider adding plant-based proteins to our diets-even replacing a percentage of animalbased proteins with them.

• Plus, plant-based proteins are higher in fiber than animal-based proteins. Fiber aids digestion, and eating a diet high in fiber may result in consuming fewer calories over the course of the day because it helps promote a feeling of fullness.

• Antioxidants help reduce the damaging effects of oxygen in tissues. Nuts are superfoods with antioxidant capacity that meets or beats other fruits and vegetables.

Bringing plant-based protein to the table Experts say two-thirds of your plate should consist of vegetables, whole grains, beans, nuts and fruit, and one-third-or less-of your plate should be animal protein.

By including familiar foods in your diet, such as peanuts and peanut butter, you may be more willing

to try new recipes. Here’s an example:

Peanut Apple Toastie Ingredients: 2 slices bread, toasted and buttered 2 tablespoons peanut butter 1/2 apple, sliced Lemon juice Cinnamon 1 teaspoon brown sugar Preparation: Spread peanut butter on one side of each of the 2 slices of toasted bread. Dip apple slices in lemon juice. Arrange apple slices on peanut butter and sprinkle with brown sugar and cinnamon. Put on a baking sheet and place under broiler. Broil 3-5 minutes or until lightly browned.

Chow Line: Apples really could keep doctor away Q: Are apples as good for you as other fruits are?

A: Apples may seem like the plain-Jane of produce, but they offer plenty of nutritional punch.

First, the basics. A medium-sized 3-inch diameter apple (about 182 grams, or 6.5 ounces) has just 95 calories and gives you 4 grams of fiber — about 10 to 15 percent of what you need each day, including both soluble and insoluble fiber — as well as good helpings of vitamin C and potassium. Apples are an easy, inexpensive way to meet the Dietary Guidelines recommendation to eat 1.5 to 2 cups of fruit per day.

But a couple of recent studies indicate that, like other fruits and vegetables, apples’ benefits go far beyond the basics.

In an analysis of studies done primarily since 2004 in Advances in Nutrition, the author suggests that apples’ rich concentration of antioxidants and phytochemicals could help ward off cancer, cardiovascular disease, asthma and Alzheimer’s disease. They could even have positive effects related to cognitive decline seen in normal aging, diabetes, weight management, bone health, pulmonary function and gastrointestinal protection.

In addition, findings from a Dutch study of more than 20,000 people in the September issue of Stroke:

Journal of the American Heart Association, brought more good news. The study found that a high intake of apples, pears and other white-fleshed fruits and vegetables reduced the risk of stroke by 52 percent.

The researchers said that each 25-gram increase (just shy of an ounce) in white fruit and vegetable intake per day was linked with a 9 percent lower risk of stroke. Other white-fleshed produce, including cauliflower, bananas, chicory and cucumber, had the same effect, but apples and pears were more commonly eaten.

Nutrition experts recommend eating apples with their skin: Nearly half of an apple’s vitamin C is just below the skin’s surface, and the skin also has most of an apple’s insoluble fiber content.

Apples come in hundreds of varieties; some are better for baking or sauces; others are better for eating fresh. It also suggests storing apples in the refrigerator (32 to 35 degrees F is ideal) in a perforated plastic bag. It’s best to wash apples immediately before eating or adding to a recipe by rinsing in cool water.

HARRISBURG. PA — State Treasurer Rob McCord announced Sept.

21 that farmers and volunteer fire, ambulance, and rescue squads facing a Sept. 30 deadline to apply for liquid fuel tax refunds now have an extra month to submit their applications to the Pennsylvania Board of Finance and Revenue.

McCord, who serves as the board’s chairman, said the extension should help farmers and volunteer fire and EMS squads that are trying to recover and regroup from damaging floods earlier this month.

“Volunteer fire and EMS squads worked around the clock to serve and protect their communities during the recent floods, and Pennsylvania farmers are focused on salvaging their crops in the wake of dangerous weather,” McCord said. “These people all have enough to worry about — without additional concerns over whether they can file their liquid fuel tax refund applications on time. This extension will give those farmers and heroic volunteer squads the additional time they need to regroup and concentrate on recovery.”

McCord noted the extension applies to farmers in 27 counties declared federal disaster areas: Adams, Bradford, Bucks, Chester, Columbia, Cumberland, Dauphin, Delaware, Lancaster, Lebanon, Lehigh, Luzerne, Lycoming,

Monroe, Montgomery, Montour, Northampton, Northumberland, Perry, Philadelphia, Schuylkill, Snyder, Sullivan, Susquehanna, Union, Wyoming and York.

Any agricultural producer who uses liquid fuels — such as gasoline or undyed diesel — as part of their production operation is eligible to apply for a refund. Producers may claim fuel used to operate regular licensed vehicles as part of production within a 25 mile radius of the farm. Trucks, pickups, vans, and four-wheel drive vehicles, as well as machinery that requires fuel to operate, are eligible.

Volunteer fire, ambulance, and rescue squads incorporated as a nonprofit are also eligible for this refund for liquid fuels taxes on gasoline and clear diesel. Squads must provide a copy of their Articles of Incorporation or Charter as well as proof of liquid fuels tax payment when applying for the refund.

The board’s application deadline extension is in line with other extensions the Internal Revenue Service and the Pennsylvania Department of Revenue instituted for state and federal taxes.

Slurry Manure Collection and Handling Systems

by Charles Fulhage and Joe Harner Slurry manure is typically generated in systems where little or no bedding is added to the excreted manure/urine.

Slurry manure is typically between 5 and 15 percent solids. It is “thicker” than liquid manure, but cannot be stacked or handled the same way as solid manure.

also be collected using scrapers. In this case the manure is usually confined in an alley (dairy freestall barn) or gutter under slats (swine confinement building). A scraper moves along the length of the alley or gutter and deposits the slurry manure in a reception pit or tank at the end.

Vaccuum Another type of slurry

Manure Handling manure collection device utilizes a vacuum to “suck” slurry manure from a concrete surface and deposit it into a tank. This approach eliminates the need to pump the slurry manure into a tank or wagon.

Slurry Pumps Slurry manure has fluid properties that allow it to be moved by pumps that are specially designed to handle thick fluids containing solids and stringy material.

Slurry manure pumps are designed with opentype impellers and usually have cutting or chopping devices at the

inlet to the impeller to minimize plugging problems.

Lowpressure/high volume slurry pumps are used to fill tankwagons and move manure in other applications where higher pressures are not required. High-pressure slurry pumps are used to move manure through long pipelines and provide the needed pressure for land application in crop fields.

High pressure slurry manure pumps can move manure long distances through pipelines to field application equipment.

Dairy Security Act offers promise for dairy industry The following statement was made on Sept. 23 by John Wilson, Senior Vice President of Dairy Farmers of America Inc.: “Since the devastating dairy economy crash of 2009, dairy farmers, industry organizations and cooperatives — including Dairy Farmers of America, Inc. (DFA) — have worked to develop a new system that better protects the interests of dairymen in a highly volatile industry.

“Today marks a significant development in that process. The Dairy Security Act of 2011 introduced by Repre-

sentatives Collin Peterson (D-MN) and Mike Simpson (R-ID) is a critical step forward for the dairy industry, and the leadership demonstrated by Peterson and Simpson is commendable.

“With the bipartisan bill now before Congress, it is vitally important that the momentum for dairy policy reform does not waver. The Dairy Security Act of 2011 provides producers options to protect their margins and the ability to strengthen exports, both of which will be instrumental in maintaining the vitality of the U.S. dairy industry.”

WASHINGTON, D.C. — On Sept. 13, Representative Timothy V. Johnson, Chairman of the House Agriculture Committee’s Subcommittee on Rural Development, Research, Biotechnology, and Foreign Agriculture, held an audit hearing to examine

U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) rural development programs.

This is the eleventh and final hearing in the audit series designed to provide members of the committee with a greater understanding of farm policy. Since June, the

subcommittee chairmen have examined programs in their respective jurisdictions to determine spending trends and confirm whether the purpose and goals of agricultural programs are being met successfully.

The hearing provided a review of the programs administered by USDA’s Rural Development agency, which includes the Rural Business and Cooperative Service (RBS), the Rural Housing Service (RHS), and the Rural Utilities Service

(RUS). RBS provides help to rural areas to develop job opportunities. RHS manages housing needs, as well as health facilities, fire and police stations, and other community facilities. RUS addresses needs for basic services such as water, sewer, waste disposal, electricity, and telecommunications.

“The continuing discussions in Congress on spending and the budget have added impetus to our discussions today.

challenges facing rural America and this administration’s efforts to leverage increasingly limited federal dollars to position rural communities to compete in this global economy.

Slurry from 12 used to transport or move slurry manure from one point to another, usually from a manure storage facility to a crop field. Tankwagons are available in a variety of sizes from small (1,000 gallons) to quite large (12,000 gallons).

Tankwagons typically serve the dual function of transporting slurry manure to a crop field and spreading or injecting the manure into the soil for crop nutrient uptake.

Pipelines Since slurry manure has fluid properties it can be pumped through pipelines from storage to crop field as an alternative to hauling with a tankwagon. Pumping is a “continuous flow” process whereas hauling is necessarily a “batch” process. Hence pumping can offer significant advantages over hauling in moving large amounts of manure in shorter lengths of time.

Tankwagons are generally used to move manure over longer distances although pipelines have been used for distances up to five miles.

Rigid aluminum irrigation pipe has been used for pumping slurry ma-

nure in the past. However the labor advantages of using flexible “layflat” tubing for pumping make this type of pipeline more attractive in many cases.

Long lengths of this tubing can be stored on reels and placed overland with much less labor than is required with rigid tubing.

Slurry Manure Land Application Field or land application of slurry manure requires that the application devices place the manure in the proper location and at the proper rate for good nutrient management practices.

Devices which inject or incorporate manure into the soil are generally preferred since the following advantages are associated with this practice.

1. Odor is reduced 2. More nutrients are retained 3. Runoff potential is reduced Injection units place manure into the soil to reduce odor, conserve nutrients and minimize runoff.

Some injection units are designed for sod with minimal surface disturbance.

MILK PRODUCTION STILL STRONG NATIONAL MILK MODIFYS FFTF Issued Sept 23, 2011 August milk production in the top 23 states totaled 15.3 billion pounds, up 2.2 percent from August 2010, according to the Agriculture Department’s preliminary data. Output in the 50 states amounted to 16.4 billion pounds, up 2.1 percent. The increase was more than expected.

July output in the 23 states was revised 45 million pounds lower, to 15.4 billion, up a half percent from a year ago.

August cow numbers in the 23 states totaled 8.47 million head, up 3,000 head from July, and 102,000 more than a year ago. Output per cow averaged 1,810 pounds, up 18 from a year ago.

California milk output was up 2.9 percent from a year ago, thanks to 24,000 more cows and a 30 pound gain per cow while Wisconsin was up 1.2 percent on a 20 pound gain per cow. Cow numbers were up 1,000 head.

Third place Idaho was up 3.9 percent on 11,000 more cows and a 40 pound gain per cow. New York was down a half percent on a 5 pound loss per cow and 1,000 fewer cows.

Get ready: the fall harvest season is nearly upon us. The so-called “lazy” days of summer will undoubtedly give way to a very busy harvest for farmers across the county, increasing the likelihood for fatigue and risk of injury for tractor operators logging extra hours in the fields.

That is why Kubota Tractor Corporation is reminding all tractor and equipment users to

brush up on 10 critical safety reminders — Kubota’s Ten Commandments to Tractor Safety — before harvest season officially gets underway.

“At Kubota, we advocate for safe operating practices year-round, but especially during peak seasons like harvest,” said Greg Embury, vice president of sales and marketing, Kubota Tractor Corporation. “As the end of summer

moves to fall, it is a good time to remind everyone who operates tractors and heavy equipment — farmers, ranchers and their families — about tractor safety to help prevent serious injury or fatality due to an unfortunate accident.”

Safety starts with use of a Rollover Protective Structure (ROPS) According to the National Safety Council, if all tractors were

equipped with a ROPS and a safety belt, about 350 lives would be saved each year. Make sure your tractor — old and new — has a fully operational ROPS. Along with a fastened seatbelt, ROPS provides a protective zone around the operator, which proves to be highly effective in preventing serious injury and death due to tractor rollovers.

Here are Kubota’s “Ten

Commandments of Tractor Safety” and important reminders for tractor operators for a yearround commitment to safe operating practices: 1. Know your tractor, its implements and how they work. Please read and understand the Operator’s Manual(s) before operating the equipment. Also, keep your equipment in good condition.

2. Use ROPS and a

seatbelt whenever and wherever applicable. If your tractor has a foldable ROPS, fold it down only when absolutely necessary and fold it up and lock it again as soon as possible. Do not wear the seatbelt when the ROPS is folded.* Most tractor fatalities are caused by overturns. (*Kubota Tractor Corporation strongly recommends the use of ROPS and seatbelts in almost all applications.)

3. Be familiar with your terrain and work area — walk the area first to be sure and drive safely. Use special caution on slopes, slow down for all turns and stay off the highway whenever possible.

4. Never start an engine in a closed shed or garage. Exhaust gas contains carbon monoxide, which is colorless, odorless — and deadly.

5. Always keep your PTO properly shielded.

Make it a habit to walk around your tractor and PTO driven implement — never walk over, through or between the tractor and implement, particularly if either is running.

The PTO rotates with enough speed and strength to kill you.

6. Keep your hitches low and always on the drawbar.

Otherwise, your tractor might flip over backwards.

7. Never get off a moving tractor or leave it with its engine running.

Shut it down before leaving the seat.

8. Never refuel while the engine is running or hot. Additionally, do not add coolant to the radiator while the engine is hot; hot coolant can erupt and scald.

9. Keep all children off and away from your tractor and its implements at all times. Children are generally attracted to tractors and the work they do. However, a tractor’s work is not child’s play.

Remember, a child’s disappointment is fleeting, while your memory of his or her injury or death resulting from riding the tractor with you, or being too close, will last a lifetime.

10. Never be in a hurry or take chances about anything you do with your tractor. Think safety first, then take your time and do it right.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood joined with Washington officials and construction industry leaders at the construction site for DC’s 11th Street Bridge Project and called on Congress to pass the American Jobs Act and make significant investments in jobcreating infrastructure projects. He was joined at the event by Washington Mayor Vincent C. Gray, DDOT Director Terry Bellamy, and Associated General Contractors CEO Steven Sandherr.

LaHood said, “We’ve got unemployed construction workers, standing by, ready to roll up their sleeves right now.

This is the moment for Congress to set aside the politics and partisanship, to pass the American Jobs Act and to put America back to work.”

In his address to the nation, Presi-

dent Barack Obama called on Congress to pass the American Jobs Act, which will invest in job-creating transportation projects and establish a National Infrastructure Bank, a concept with strong bipartisan support. There is also wide agreement among business leaders, labor unions, economists and elected officials that making significant investments in America’s roads, rails, and airports will not only put hundreds of thousands of people to work quickly, it is crucial to the nation’s future economic growth and prosperity.

Steven Sandherr, CEO of the Associated General Contractors, said, “There are few more effective ways to create good jobs, deliver great roads, build a strong economy and protect taxpayers than to invest in infrastructure. That is

why the Associated General Contractors of America stands with the President and everyone else that is willing to make the investments needed to revive our industry and rebuild our economy.” Associated General Contractors is one of the nation’s largest trade associations for the construction industry.

Secretary LaHood also called on Congress to immediately pass an extension of the surface transportation bill, which is set to expire on Sept. 30.

If Congress allows the current surface transportation extension to expire, more than 4,000 federal employees will immediately go without pay. If Congress delays actions for just 10 days beyond that, nearly $1 billion in highway funding that could be spent on construction projects across the nation would be lost. And if Congress

waits even longer, almost 1 million workers could be in danger of losing their jobs over the next year.

Secretary LaHood spoke at the construction site of the 11th Street Bridge Project in Washington, which could be shut down if Congress fails to pass a surface transportation extension by Sept. 30. There are roughly 380 workers on the 11th Street Bridge project, which will reduce congestion by replacing two existing bridges with three new bridges and improving interchanges for local and freeway traffic.

By 2030, these bridges will serve almost 180,000 vehicles every day — helping the region become more economically competitive. Scheduled for completion in 2013, the $300-million project is being completed with $189 million in federal-aid.

from a year ago however estimated sales of total organic fluid milk products increased 10.7 percent from 2010.

In politics, with the issue of supply management threatening the future of National Milk’s “Foundation for the Future” (FFTF) dairy policy reform proposal, the Federation announced it would modify its plan. Dairy Profit Weekly editor Dave Natzke reported in his Friday DairyLine program that the revisions would make participation in the supply management portion voluntary. However, participation in the supply management program, called the Dairy Management Stabilization Program, would be a prerequisite for farmer eligibility for income insurance payments under the Dairy Producer Margin Protection Program.

“By making the program voluntary instead of mandatory, it also eliminates another controversial area,” Natzke said. “Under the previous plan, half of all money collected under the Dairy Management Stabilization Program would have gone to the U.S. Treasury.

Now, all funds could go to purchase dairy products to be used for feeding programs.”

Instead of specifying comprehensive changes to the federal milk marketing order system, the revised plan mandates USDA to replace current endproduct pricing formulas and make allowances with a competitive pay price formula, but leaves the method up to a dairy farmer vote.

The plan still calls for elimination of the Dairy Price Support and Milk Income Loss Contract programs and the revisions were rolled into legislation drafted by Rep. Collin Peterson, Ranking Member on the House Ag Committee, and Rep. Mike Simpson, Idaho Republican.

In a Friday morning conference call, Peterson reported that he would introduce the bill (“Dairy Security Act of 2011”) that afternoon in the House with National Milk’s modifications. He said support is growing for the plan but, because of delays in getting the original bill scored by the Congressional Budget Office, it will now likely be part of the new Farm Bill. The International Dairy Foods Association said the changes to the FFTF still “miss the mark.”

Natzke also reported that a second dairy policy reform plan was outlined this week, this one from U.S. Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.), a member of the Senate Ag Committee. Gillibrand’s plan addresses the supply management issue by limiting it to regional supply and demand conditions,

instead of a national balancing plan.

She would also incorporate income insurance into the existing MILC program, using production limits to determine insurance payment eligibility, and asks USDA to evaluate changes to federal milk marketing orders.

Meanwhile; Dairy Profit Weekly reports that several dairy organizations sent a letter to House Agriculture Committee leaders, opposing supply management provisions contained in impending dairy policy reform legislation.

The organizations urged lawmakers to reject the Dairy Market Stabilization Program, proposed in National Milk’s FFTF program and included in the legislation authored by Representative Collin Peterson.

Co-signing the letter were the Dairy Business Association, a Wisconsinbased producer organization, along with its marketing co-op, Dairy Business Milk Marketing Cooperative; the board of directors of Bongards’ Creameries, Minnesota Milk Producers Association, First District Association, all of Minnesota; Alliance Dairies, Florida; Dairy Policy Action Coalition, Pennsylvania; High Desert Milk, Idaho; National All-Jersey, Inc., headquartered in Ohio; and the Northeast Dairy Producers Association.

On the other hand; the Holstein Association USA’s board of directors confirmed their support of discussion draft legislation containing major components of the Foundation for the Future program, stating that “The Dairy Market Stabilization part of the program is key, and a major reason for the Association’s support of the program,” according to Holstein Association president Chuck Worden.

In yet another political issue; the National Family Farm Coalition and 56 allied organizations representing family farmers, ranchers, fishermen and advocates signed a letter to Congress condemning the pending free trade agreements (FTAs) with South Korea, Colombia, and Panama.

As the letter states, more FTAs will only accelerate the economic disasters in agriculture: industrial farms dependent on massive amounts of petroleumbased inputs, low-paying exploitative jobs in processing and packing plants, and increased consolidation throughout the agricultural supply chain.

While we’re talking about internation-

al markets; the Global Dairy Trade (Fonterra) auction index dropped to its lowest level in more than a year with large declines in anhydrous milkfat (AMF) and skim milk powder (SMP), according to the CME’s Daily Dairy Report. The weighted average price for AMF was $1.74 per pound, down 11.2 percent from the September 6 auction and the lowest price since AMF came on the auction in November 2009. SMP was $1.47 per pound, down 6.2 percent from the previous event. Whole milk powder (WMP) and cheese were slightly higher. The WMP price was $1.52, up 1.1 percent.

Cheddar cheese for industrial use received an average winning bid of $1.84 per pound, up 0.6 percent from the prior auction. The trade-weighted average price for all products was down 2.1 percent from the previous event, the seventh straight decline, according to the DDR. Milk production patterns in Northeast were once again impacted by weather activity with the latest tropical storm creating the expected issues from the farm level to consumer buying patterns, according to USDA’s latest update on September 16.

Several processing plants were shut down due to water and utility problems.

The farm level milk production impact was still being assessed. Milk was being shipped to other manufacturing plants for processing help.

Midwestern milk production is mostly steady with recent weeks and processing plants are taking expected volumes.

Milk production conditions in the Southwest are improving and reflect cooler weather conditions. Milk volumes are steady to slightly higher. In the Pacific Northwest, Utah, and Idaho, milk output is down marginally while component levels are increasing.

Weather is playing a role in contracting milk supplies across many countries in Western Europe. Hot and dry weather in recent weeks has lowered milk production and the rate of increase has narrowed. Season ending volumes are now closer to year ago levels. Currency declines have affected export potential, making products more likely to be exported at lower relative value.

Australian milk production reports peg July output at 1.1 percent lower when compared to July 2010. New Zealand production is trending seasonally higher at levels above a year ago, when conditions were poor.

Mielke from 16 percent above a year ago. Total cheese stocks, at 1.06 billion pounds, were down 2 percent from July and virtually unchanged from a year ago.

The cash cheese market dropped following the milk production report but inched up following the Cold Storage data. The 40-pound cheese blocks closed the fourth Friday in September at $1.7275 per pound, down a nickel on the week, and 2 1/4-cents below a year ago. The 500-pound barrels closed at $1.7075, down a penny and a quarter on the week, and 2 3/4-cents below a year ago. Twenty five cars of block traded hands on the week and 22 of barrel.

The NASS-surveyed U.S. average block price fell to $1.8159, down 5.9 cents, and the barrels averaged $1.7815, down 2.2 cents.

Spot butter closed Friday at $1.77, down another 13 1/4-cents on the week, and 46 cents below a year ago. It has lost 23 1/2-cents in four weeks.

Three cars found new homes this week.

NASS butter averaged $1.9393, down 9.6 cents.

Cash Grade A nonfat dry milk held all week at $1.49 while the Extra Grade lost 3 cents, slipping to $1.58. NASS powder averaged $1.5364, down 2.1 cents, and dry whey averaged 59.08 cents, up 0.2 cent.

The October Federal order Class I base milk price was announced by USDA at $19.56 per hundredweight, down $2.22 from September, but still $2.98 above October 2010. It equates to about $1.68 per gallon and pulled the 2011 average down to $19.26, still $4.26 above a year ago at this time, and $8.17 above 2009.

The NASS butter price averaged $1.9893 per pound, down 9.6 cents from September. Nonfat dry milk averaged $1.5461, down 3.4 cents. Cheese averaged $1.8347, down 3.2 cents, and dry whey averaged 59 cents, up 2.6 cents.
