Sold-out Keystone Show draws farmers

by Sally Colby If the subject of farm equipment comes up at the end of the year, farmers start to talk about the Keystone Farm Show — also known as ‘the farmers’ farm show’ — held annually at the York Fairgrounds in York, PA. Since its inception in 1998, the show has grown to a three-day event that attracts farmers from New Jersey, Maryland, Delaware, northern Virginia and Pennsylvania.

“Today we had an issue that hasn’t happened in years,” said Lee trade show manager Ken Maring. “We had trouble finding enough spaces for people to park.” But Maring says that’s a good problem — it means farmers are coming out to see the latest in farm equipment and services. Maring added that although Tuesday was wellattended, Wednesday typically draws the most visitors. “It’s the middle of the week for farmers,” he said. “They can relax and plan chores around it.”

Maring noted that all seven buildings on the fairgrounds were well-attended at all times. “We also have a couple of buses from Virginia,” he said, “and I’ve taken several phone calls from people who want directions coming from Virginia.” Although Maring hadn’t had a chance to visit with every exhibitor by the end of the day on Tuesday, he noted that the trailer dealers at the show were extremely happy with traffic. He added that one of the exhibitors referred to Keystone as attracting ‘the

most diverse buying crowd he’s ever seen’. “He said he’s had a diversified crowd looking for everything from tillage equipment to tractors to pressure washers,” said Maring.

Many farmers who visit the Keystone Farm Show take the opportunity to update their pesticide applicators’ license by attending seminars taught

by Penn State extension educators on both Tuesday and Wednesday. This year, Keystone featured sessions on ‘The fate of pesticides in the environment’, Soybean pest management update, Surfactant management to increase pesticide efficiency, What’s new in herbicides for 2012, Spill management and Pesticide record keeping requirements. In addition, Land O’ Lakes offered a special one-day seminar on Wednesday.

The Keystone Farm Show is one of Lee Publications’ six major trade shows. The next show is the Virginia Farm Show, held at Augusta Expo Land in Fishersville, VA, slated for Jan. 19, 20 and 21. In addition to exhibits and demos of a variety of farm equipment and services, the Virginia Farm Show features a popular skid steer rodeo.

Because the show sells out every year, Maring says that the 2013 Keystone Farm Show, scheduled for Jan. 8, 9 and 10, will include additional exhibit space in a 66’ x 104’ tent.

by Stephen Wagner Are there too many horses in the U.S. now? That’s one of the allegations, or speculations, making the rounds in the wake of Canada “dumping” horses across its southern border. But it is also a relatively sudden development in the wake of an erratic economy in the U.S. without any help from neighboring countries.

The rising horse population is also polarizing factions that are for or against horse slaughter as a solution to this equine influx. What is practically an unsung middle ground is the independent horse rescuer. Any attendee at a horse show can’t avoid noticing the many commercial booths dedicated to rescue operations, all of which are seeking much needed donations.

In Manheim PA, Mt. Hope Horse Rescue Director Pat Potter says there’s a reason for this glut of horseflesh. “You always have people breeding horses and then rejecting them,” she said. “Maybe they don’t like the color or whatever. You also have the racetracks. And a lot of people have lost their jobs, so they get rid of horses; they’re the first thing to go because their owners can’t afford them anymore. Horses break down.

They become ill. We deal with that when we get them. You can’t ride anymore so they are expendable. It’s created a real problem for the horses; there’s too many in that situation.”

Pat and her husband started their rescue operation in

2007. They had stopped boarding horses and found themselves with a number of empty stalls. Having had the idea of going to a horse auction to buy one horse, they returned to their stable with three. Finding that they enjoyed it more than they imagined, they hired a parttime trainer, then returned to the auction to get more horses. “It became a habit,” Pat said. “We filled up the barn and it became evident that we’d have to find homes for those horses we couldn’t keep for our own personal use.”

Potter stresses that the rescue operation is not a retirement facility. “We are an adoption facility. Our facility is a second chance. We look for horses that we can work with. We are not bringing in horses with broken limbs,” but rather horses the Potters can actual-

ly help within their financial structure.

“For example,” Pat explains, “we can help if they are starving, and a lot of them are, if they have puncture wounds, obvious foot problems, sometimes abandonment issues, and even depression. With the trainer’s help, we get them in real good physical condition.”

The second chance continues when they find a good home for the rehabilitated horse, one that is nearly a hand-in-glove perfect match. Moreover, she says, “People give us horses they can’t find homes for, and most of the time those horses have problems. If they could sell the horse they would do that first. If they can’t sell them, they come to us. If it’s something we feel we can work with, we take them in.”

There are worst case scenarios. “We’ve helped horses who

were stuck in stables for years with no care,” Pat says. “We’ve had some who actually stood in barns with dead horses.

They had no turnout at all, just stood in a damp filthy barn. Others came from Maine and were on trucks for 13 or 14 hours. No hay, no water; other horses kicking and biting them. One of our horses got to auction and was probably about 300 pounds underweight. When we brought him here all he wanted to do was lay down, he was so starved.”

One of the first horses the Potters got at auction was one that was with them for three years, a horse that was likely beaten “on the head,” according to one vet, but several vets agreed on the diagnosis.

“A lot of times at auction the horses are drugged so you don’t know exactly what they’re going to be like,” Pat explained about this horse.

“They’re drugged so people can ride them to prove they can be ridden. The next day when the drugs had worn off, the horse was scared of everything, of getting in and out of the barn. You couldn’t go near him and sometimes he actually wouldn’t come near you.”

Mt. Hope Horse Rescue is funded largely by the Potter’s retirement fund. “Three-quarters of the money is from my husband’s and m y pension.”

The rest comes from fund-raisers, auctions and other events.

Fund-raisers are frequent because normal donations average about $300 a month, whereas it costs about $70,000 a year to run the

operation.

“We need all the help we can get,” Pat says.

Christmas lights were put up in the stable to add a festive air to Mt. Hope’s Christmas fund-raiser, their most successful in four years.

Visitors to the stable were treated to homemade Christmas cookies and could be photographed with the horses. Some visitors come to look, others to buy. 2011, however, was one of the worst years for adoption.

“We adopted out about 15 horses a year,” said Pat. “This past year, we adopted out only four. We used to have a horse anywhere from a month to six months. Now it’s six months to a year. All but one of the horses here now has been here for a year. The other four were lucky to find good homes; we’re picky about who they go to.”

At the fund-raiser, the horse in the first stall was named Pippin. Names of horses are generally changed when they arrive unless the Potters like the name. They liked Pippin’s name and it was on her papers. Ollie, in the next stall, “busted his knees at the racetrack,” said Pat. “His name used to be Wink At Me. He was a moneymaker. We rehabilitated him and he is in excellent shape.” New arrivals used to be any age, but now the age range is steady at 5-14 years of age. “Occasionally, we get one older,” Pat said.

Agriculture’s stellar performance

by Stewart Truelsen “Jobs, jobs, jobs” seems to be the campaign theme for both major parties in 2012, and while unemployment is a terrible hardship, we can be thankful that the campaign is not about “food, food, food.”

In an election year there is sure to be a focus on all the things that are wrong with the economy and the country at large. Both political parties would like to make things better.

Unemployment, housing, energy, education and a crumbling infrastructure are all going to be touched on in campaigns.

What’s missing from the list is food and agriculture and that’s because America does not have a food crisis.

The basic goal of producing an ample supply of food at reasonable prices has been met and exceeded.

The reasons for American agriculture’s stellar performance are apparent in a report issued by the Economic Research Service (ERS), the agency of the Department of

FOCUS ON AGRICULTURE American Farm Bureau Federation Agriculture responsible for economic analysis.

The 77-page report basically boiled down to the fact that American farmers and ranchers are still able to produce more with less; that is more food with fewer labor hours and less land than was used 30 years ago. As a result, U.S. farm productivity has increased nearly 50 percent.

There are a number of factors cited in the report that enabled American agriculture to achieve these results.

They include innovations in the way farms are organized, managed and handle risk, as well as changes in production practices.

Genetically engineered seeds and no-till farming were credited with reducing machinery, fuel and pesticide use. Advancements in drip and

pressure irrigation systems conserved water. In fact, agriculture relies more on science and technology for growth than other industries.

The ERS report also noted that farm production has shifted to larger units over the past quarter century.

These larger crop and livestock operations can take advantage of scale economies and are better positioned to negotiate contracts. Yet, 97 percent of all farms remain family operations, some of them going back four or five generations.

The amount of land used in agriculture dropped during the period measured by the report (1982 to 2007), declining from 54 percent to 51 percent of total U.S. land area.

Farming also used 30 percent less hired labor and 40 percent less oper-

ator labor.

In the past, the work ethic of farmers has often been cited as a contributing factor in productivity gains.

There’s really no difference today.

Farmers and ranchers are still incredibly hard workers, but thanks to better education, training and technology they also work smarter.

Throughout the history of American agriculture there has never been a time when the people who work the land to produce our food, fiber and fuel have said, “That’s good enough.” Instead, they have always tried to do better.

This attitude may not show up in statistical tables, but that commitment to continual improvement is a driving force that makes American agriculture so successful.

Common ground

by Steve Suther They say it takes all kinds to make the world, and the adage is all about people. Look around the mall, watch TV or check out the Internet and you find ready evidence of the individuality of individuals.

Look at the world of ideas out there — maybe way out there — in politics, government and economics.

Most of us share some common ideals, such as a respect for life, liberty and equality. We believe in that unique spark, call it a soul, that makes us human and drives us to achieve. With that spark comes the fire of independence as another basic ideal, especially in agriculture.

We all like to do things our way, starting with a brand of truck or breed of cattle.

Some like green tractors, others like red. Some build only barbwire fences, others use woven net or rely on electricity. Some spend evenings checking e-mail, or check every smartphone buzz; others roll their eyes at the thought of computers.

Horses are part of the deal for some while others ride four-wheelers.

There are millions of ways to raise cattle, too, if you consider that no two farms or ranches around the world operate exactly the same.

Even in North America, where there is more common ground in cattle production, there are still great differences. We may take issue with the genetic selection, management and marketing program across the road, not to mention what is going on a couple of states away.

Yet this business is driven by the need to make consistent profits, to keep the lifestyle going. Among all of those subsets of people, from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean, you can

find a commitment to raising the kind of beef people rave about.

They aim for the high-quality beef target because it pays now and it builds demand for their future. Sure, they find their own ways, but nearly all of their cattle are fed grain in commercial feedlots for at least the four to six months before harvest.

Diversity in genetics is a useful resource in the big picture, but it works best not to have too much of it in one herd. Too much of that good thing makes it impossible to zero in on any target.

Within those feedlots, any diversity in placements on feed is magnified before harvest. For example, a Kansas yard that analyzed records on many thousands of cattle for more than a decade found a range of at least 4 pounds (lb.) daily gain among the most variable quarter of cattle pens. Times 150 days on feed, that meant starting weights grew apart by 600 pounds.

A similar spread is apparent in terms of quality grade. Even without the weight difference, premiums and discounts can create a value spread of $500 or more.

The need for maintaining common ground extends through every segment of the beef industry, through the packinghouse and all the way to the consumer. Although all beef buyers are individuals, they come together on the issue of wanting predictable value for their beef dollars.

tell the story of the silversmith which has comforted me much over the years. Trials and tests are often referred to in Scripture as a refining process and in the book of Malachi there’s a verse that says; “He will sit as a smelter and purifier of silver.” I learned that the smith must watch over the process to make sure not to leave the silver in the fire too long or the fire will ruin it, but if it’s not left in long enough, the fire will not burn away all of the alloys. Either way, the silver is worthless for fashioning it into something of use.

When asked how do you know how long to leave the silver in the fire, the smith replied, “I know the silver is ready to come out of the fire when I can see my image in the silver.”

The Agriculture Department announced December Federal order milk prices the last Friday of 2011 and the benchmark Class III price is $18.77 per hundredweight, down 30 cents from November

but $4.94 above December 2010 and equates to about $1.61 per gallon.

The 2011 average is $18.37, up from $14.41 in 2010 and $11.36 in 2009. The December Class IV price is $16.87, down a dollar from November, but $1.84 above a year ago. The Class IV averaged $19.04 in 2011, up from $15.09 in 2010 and $10.89 in 2009. California’s comparable 4a and 4b prices will be announced by the California Department of Food and Agriculture on January 3, 2012.

Looking ahead, the Class III futures had the January 2012 contract trading late Friday morning at $17.21, February $17.41, March $17.46, April $17.40, May $17.20, and June at $17.13.

The four-week, NASSsurveyed cheese price averaged $1.8070 per pound, down 3 1/2cents from November.

Butter averaged $1.6119, down 17 cents, nonfat dry milk averaged $1.4201, down 3.2 cents, and dry whey averaged

65.38 cents, up 1.6 cents from November.

Meanwhile trading at the Chicago Mercantile Exchange was pretty quiet the last week of the year.

The 40-pound blocks of cheese closing at $1.5625 per pound, unchanged on the week, and 22 cents above that week a year ago. The 500-pound barrels closed Friday at $1.58, up 2 cents on the holiday shortened week and 24 cents above a year ago.

That’s the second week in a row the barrels moved higher. Only one car of barrel traded hands on the week. The lagging NASS-surveyed U.S. average block price fell to $1.6977, down 7.6 cents on the week, while the barrels averaged $1.6356, down 7.4 cents.

Cash butter closed at $1.5950, also unchanged on the week, but 7 1/2-cents below a year ago. No spot butter was sold on the week.

NASS butter averaged $1.5918, down slightly.

Penn State Extension offers ‘Equine Parasite Puzzle’ seminar Did you know that parasites are becoming resistant to the deworming products that are on the market today? Have you been faithfully deworming your horses every six weeks only to learn that this is no longer the recommended practice? Are you confused about when to worm your horse and how often?

Do you know which horses on your farm have natural resistance to parasites and which may need to be dewormed more frequently? Have you ever had your horse colic, especially after being wormed?

The Penn State Cooperative Extension Equine Program Team is offering a full day seminar designed to help horse owners make sense of the parasite puzzle. “Piecing Together the Equine Parasite Puzzle,” will be held Saturday, Feb. 4, at the Eden Resort and Conference Center, located at 222 Eden Road, Lancaster, PA. The cost of $55 per person includes all instruction, hand-out materials and lunch.

Until recently, the common method of reducing parasite infections in horses was to rigorously de-worm horses every six to eight weeks. Since there are only three major classes of deworming agents available, resistance to these drug classes is increasing and cases of resistant parasites are now being reported worldwide. Horses move frequently from state to state and often internationally as well and may move resistant parasites to new farms. This one-day seminar will feature top spe-

cialists and researchers in the field who will review the life cycles of the parasites and will explain how resistance occurs. The speakers will also discuss the effects of rainfall, temperature, pasture rotation, and manure composting on parasite infection. Participants will learn how to prepare a slide and perform fecal egg counts and will be able to work with their veterinarian to develop a program targeted for their specific farm situation.

The agenda for the seminar is: • 9-10:30 a.m. — Dr. Ed Jedzejewski, DVM, Manager Penn State Equine Farm. Thinking Like a Parasite: Types of Parasites, Biology, and the Science of Resistance. What monitoring parasite levels in the Penn State herd has taught us about parasite management; • 10:30 a.m.–noon — Dr. Michael Sukhdeo, Rutgers University Department of Environment and Natural Resources. The Ecology of Parasite infection on Horse Pastures and Implication for Control Strategies ; • noon-12:45 p.m. — Lunch.

12:45-1 p.m. — Dr. David Wolfgang, DVM, Penn State Department of Veterinary Medicine. How to Conduct Fecal Egg Counts in Horses and What the Results Can and Cannot Tell Us; and 1-2:30 p.m. — Donna Foulk, Equine Extension Educator, and Dr. Wolfgang, DVM, Penn State. Putting Together the Pieces. Participants will practice making a slide and counting eggs and will work through a series of problems dealing with parasite infection and

management.

This program is one of many educational programs being offered by the Penn State Extension Equine Program Team throughout the state. Additional programs include: Caring for the Geriatric and Aging Horse to be held 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., Saturday, March 10, at the Best Western Conference Center in Bethlehem, PA. This seminar will present the latest information on how to meet the nutritional needs of geriatric, underweight, and metabolically challenged horses.

Other topics will include adopting practices to increase comfort and manage pain in older horses; understanding diseases associated with the aging process; developing appropriate vaccination, dentistry and de-worming programs; and addressing the mental and physical needs of geriatric and/or rescued horses; and knowing when to say good-bye to your equine friend. This short course has been developed for barn managers, non-profit groups that care for older and/or neglected horses, and anyone that rides or cares for older horses.

Equine Environmental Stewardship short courses will be held on the following dates and locations: • March 7, 14, 21, and 28 — Lehigh County Ag Center, Allentown, PA; • April 3, 10, 17, and 24 — Columbia County Extension Office; and • April 5, 12, 19, and 26 — Wayne County Extension Office.

Participants in this short-course will

be made aware of new and emerging information that will benefit their horses, their farms and the environment.

Participants will learn how to: reduce grazing health risks; rotate and rest pastures; identify grasses, weeds and toxic plants; properly fertilize soil; properly store, compost and apply manure; develop feeding programs for horses that meet but do not exceed nutritional requirements. Participants will also learn how the manure and nutrient management regulations will impact their farm. Cost is $45 per person for all sessions.

HARRISBURG, PA — The program is set for the 2012 Pennsylvania Dairy Summit, scheduled on Feb. 8-9 at the Lancaster Host Resort in Lancaster, PA. Offering a mix of cutting edge industry discussions and hands-on farm management insight, this year’s summit is expected to draw more than 500 dairy producers and industry leaders together to gain new insight, gather different ideas and expand their knowledge base.

The summit is hosted annually by the Professional Dairy Managers of Pennsylvania and the Center for Dairy Excellence, with support from the Penn State Extension Dairy Team and the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture. The Dairy Summit is now in its seventh year, with participation and support for the annual event continuing to grow.

New this year, the summit will offer a one-day

“Core Dairy Track” to provide dairy managers who have difficulties getting away with meaningful information to take back and quickly apply to their operations. Continuing education opportunities through the American Registry of Professional Animal Scientists, the Pennsylvania State Board of Veterinary Medicine and Farm Credit’s SmartStart program are also part of the event.

A highlight of the summit, this year’s producer showcases feature Hanehan Dairy Farm in New York, presented by Cliff Hanehan, and Greenstone Grazing in Georgia, presented by John Neizen. Hanehan Farms’ location at Stillwater, NY, includes 700 milking cows and 1,100 acres, while the farm’s satellite operation in Sydney, NY, managed by the next generation of Hanehans, also has 700 milking cows. Greenstone Grazing is a 700-cow management-intensive graz-

ing dairy with 300 irrigated and 70 non-irrigated acres of pasture land.

Keynote speakers for the event include Dr. Bruce Jones, University of Wisconsin Madison, who will discuss the “Key Principles for Success in Dairy Today and Tomorrow,” and Dick Beardsley, author of the best-selling book, “Staying the Course,” who will share a stunning story of overcoming extreme obstacles.

Gigi Vitae, president and COO of Fonterra’s North America division, will discuss how a global marketplace, dairy policy and the farmer’s mailbox price interrelate, with exports having a significant impact on what happens domestically.

Drew Wilkins, procurement manager for Cargill Regional Beef in Wyalusing, PA, will showcase Cargill Meat Solutions’ commitment to providing great-tasting meats to their customers and how that commitment begins at the farm gate.

For farms interested in renewable energy, a panel discussion on Thursday morning will show how renewable energy technologies are providing opportunities for dairy producers to capture additional sources of income. Jerry Bingold from the Innovation Center for U.S. Dairy will be part of the panel discussion and will show how national initiatives are opening new avenues for producers to benefit from this technology.

Six breakouts will be part of this year’s summit, with breakout sessions held on early Wednesday morning, Wednesday afternoon and early Thursday morning. The six breakouts include: • The Dairyland Initiative: A Guide to WelfareFriendly Dairy Housing, hosted by Dr. Nigel Cook, University of WisconsinMadison, to share the ideas and standards needed to produce an economically-viable

dairy industry with animal well-being as the number one goal.

• The Potential of Alternative Feeds to Improve IOFC, hosted by Dr. William Weiss, Ohio Ag Research and Development Center, to outline the considerations to make when evaluating alternative feeds, including feed efficiency, nutrient composition and shrinkage.

• Using Genomics to Strengthen Your Herd’s Future, a panel discussion with three dairy producers sharing how they’ve found success in using genomics to build their future herd.

• Strategies for Improved Reproduction, a panel discussion with three producers providing insight on what they’ve included in their herd management programs to improve reproduction and what results they have had.

• A Roadmap to Robotics, a panel discussion with two producers who

Understanding the Ins and Outs of Succession Planning & Estate Tax Laws, a panel discussion with Vicky Trimmer with the Persun & Heim law firm, Tim Sutherland, financial planner with AgChoice Farm Credit, and a dairy producer offering advice on smoothing transitions between generations.

Sponsors and exhibitors have already committed to supporting this event, with more than 25 organizations already reserving spaces in the summit’s trade show.

Session breaks and an evening reception are held within the trade show, giving summit dairy producer participants the opportunity to learn more about the latest offerings available to help their dairy business.

about what your farm operation will look like in five to 10 years? What is the mission or purpose of your farm? What are you in the business to do? Have you evaluated your resources — land, forages, water, buildings, fencing, livestock and labor? If you are in the forage business (grow hay, silage or pasture) you need to understand how plants grow and how soil type and properties impact forage production and grazing systems.

Ways to grow and harvest more forage from the same land, including evaluating soil fertility and selection of forage species, will also be covered. The fertility management of pastures and hay fields is a continuous process that is often only a consideration of producers during establishment, but managing fertility for the maintenance of the stand and continued productivity is important. The advantages and disadvantages of pure stands and mixtures of grass-forbslegumes will also be dis-

cussed. Proper management results in profitable yields and high quality forage. The end result of mismanagement is low, unprofitable yields and low quality forage.

These are highlights of two presentations to be made by Bob Hendershot, retired Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) state grassland conservationist and state Grazing Lands Conservation Initiative (GLCI) coordinator in Ohio. Hendershot provided leadership and technical guidance to conservation programs that use grasses and other forages. He was named the nation’s Outstanding Pastureland Conservationist by NRCS in 1999; he was inducted into the Ohio State Conservationist Hall of Fame in 1998 and was presented the NRCS Regional Grazing Lands Conservation Initiative Support Award in 1996.

Hendershot has a pasture-based sheep operation near Circleville, Ohio, and occasionally grazes stocker cattle. He

has served two terms on the board of directors of the American Forage and Grassland Council and is the immediate past president. He helped develop the Pasture for Profit Grazing Schools, the Ohio Forage for Horses and the Equine Environmental and Liability Awareness Program and continues as an instructor and pasture walk leader. He was presented the Ben Stinner Memorial Award in recognition of his excellent contribution to sustainable agriculture in 2009 by the Innovative Farmers of Ohio. He has been described as a knowledgeable and dynamic speaker who can assist any interested operator in improving their forage management.

The Tri-State (Maryland, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia) Hay & Pasture Conference, will be

held Jan. 19 at Garrett College in McHenry, MD. A variety of other topics and speakers will round out the program. Certified crop advisor and pesticide and nutrient management certification credits will be offered.

Registration for the TriState conference will also be $15 per person by Jan. 13 and $20 after that date. Checks should be made payable to Garrett EAC and sent to Hay & Pasture Conference, University of Maryland Extension, 1916 Maryland Highway, Suite A, Mountain Lake Park, MD 21550 (phone: 301-334-6960).

Rise in milk production gives corn sales a boost too Milk production is on the rise according to reports recently released

by the National Agricultural Statistics Service of the U.S. Department of Agriculture. As the U.S. dairy industry is a major market for feed corn, distillers dried grains and corn silage, the National Corn Growers Association noted that this trend benefits not only dairy but also grain farmers across the country.

“It is important to value our relationship with dairy farmers, a constant and valued customer for our product,” said NCGA President Garry Niemeyer. “In 2011 alone, it is estimated that the U.S. dairy herd will consume more than 800 million bushels of corn. As they grow, so do we thus reemphasizing the importance of cooperation throughout the agricultural community.”

The report indicates that production increases came from both a per cow production increase of 16 pounds and a herd expansion of 108,000 head since this time in 2010.

DOVER, DE — The USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) is currently accepting applications for three national initiatives that are being offered to Delaware farmers.

The On-Farm Energy, Organic, and Seasonal High Tunnel conservation initiatives offer producers technical and financial assistance through the NRCS Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP).

NRCS accepts applications for financial assistance on a continuous basis throughout the year. There will be three ranking periods for the Organic, OnFarm Energy, and Seasonal High Tunnel initiatives; all ending on Feb. 3, March 30, and June 1, 2012. At the end of a ranking period, NRCS ranks all submitted proposals, Delaware and nationwide, for funding consideration.

NRCS will notify all applicants of the results of the rankings and begin developing contracts with selected applicants.

“Producers tell us they want to apply for these initiatives, but many want more time to make sure they choose the one that’s right for their operation,” said Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack. “Moving to multiple ranking dates for each initiative is going to make it easier for more producers to apply and help them get started with implementing the practices they need to benefit the natural resources on their operations.”

On-Farm Energy Initiative NRCS is offering producers financial assistance for Agricultural Energy Management Plans (AgEMP) or farm energy audits that assess energy consumption on an operation. AgEMPs must be completed by a Certified Technical Service Provider. The energy audit is required to develop energy conservation recommendations. Each AgEMP has a landscape component that assesses equipment and farming processes and a farm headquarters component that assesses power usage and efficiencies in poultry and livestock buildings, grain handling operations, and similar facilities to support the farm operation.

Organic Initiative NRCS helps certified organic producers and those transitioning to organic certification install conservation practices for organic production. New for fiscal year 2012, applicants will be evaluated continuously during the ranking periods. Applications meeting or exceeding a threshold score may be approved for an EQIP contract before the end of the ranking period. This new scoring process allows organic producers to implement conservation practices in a timelier manner. With the establishment of this new system, Delaware NRCS is looking for more producers to take advantage of this program. Applicants can apply for numerous conservation practices that

benefit natural resources including: cover crops and crop rotations and installing intensive grazing infrastructure (grazing plans, internal fencing, and water lines), and more.

Seasonal High Tunnel Pilot Initiative NRCS helps producers plan and implement high tunnels that extend growing seasons in an environmentally safe manner. High tunnel benefits include better plant and soil quality, fewer nutrients and pesticides in the environment, and better air quality due to fewer vehicles being needed to transport crops. Over the past two years in Delaware, 16 producers have signed

contracts totaling $159,002 to install seasonal high tunnels on their farms.

The On-Farm Energy, Organic, and Seasonal High Tunnel initiatives are available in all 50 states, the Caribbean Area, and the Pacific Basin.

For more information, visit the National NRCS website at www.nrcs.usda.gov or the Delaware NRCS website at www.de.nrcs.usda. gov on how to apply for these initiatives.

Or contact the nearest USDA Service Center. In Sussex County, call 302-8563990, ext 3; in Kent County, call 302741-2600, ext. 3; and in New Castle County, call 302-832-3100, ext. 3.

Make plans for genomic testing With spring bull sale season around the corner, producers should plan ahead to submit DNA samples in order to receive test results in a timely manner.

“If you are considering genomic tests for this spring, now is the time to place your orders,” said Bill Bowman, American Angus Association® chief operating officer (COO) and president of Angus Genetics Inc. (AGI). “Members are encouraged to order their tests well in advance of spring bull sales to ensure that they have the results when needed.”

Once breeders submit DNA samples, there is a 3-4-week processing time for most tests, and there are sale catalog deadlines to consider.

“Even in today’s business of speedy

turnaround times and weekly evaluations of expected progeny differences (EPDs), breeders can still miss their window of opportunity to include important information in their sale books,” Bowman says. “We encourage breeders to budget a four-week turnaround time in order to better meet marketing deadlines.”

Angus breeders may submit genomic orders online through AAA Login and mail samples to AGI, which then processes the order for testing at the appropriate genomic labs.

To learn more about genomic testing or how to submit samples, visit www.angus.org or call 816-383-5100.

New embryo transfer rule begins A new embryo transfer (ET) rule, which took effect on Jan. 1, 2012, requires Angus producers who want to register embryo transfer (ET) calves to request an ET authorization when the first owner of a calf is different than the owner of the donor dam.

The new Rule 104(d)(12), adopted at the American Angus Association®’s September Board meeting, states: If the first owner of the calf is different than the owner of record of the donor female, and the embryo removal date is on or after Jan. 1, 2012, the owner of the donor female must obtain and transfer an ET Authorization to the account of the first owner before the calf is eligible for registration.

“Embryos may pass through several hands before a calf is born and registered,” says Don Laughlin, Association director of member services. “ET Authorizations

allow the person who is responsible for flushing the donor cow to confirm dates, sires and type of flush (such as in vitro or split embryo) on a calf through the Association’s AAA Login service.”

The authorization will confirm ET registrations when the breeder and first owner are not the same, creating a record between the buyer and seller of the embryos.

The new rule will not affect every Angus producer. In fact, fiscal year numbers at the end of FY 2011 showed approximately 15 percent of all embryo registrations would need an ET authorization to be registered, if the rule was previously in place.

“Before the new rule, the sire, donor dam, embryo removal date, sex of the calf and the birth date from the first owner (the person registering the ET calf) was known.

Now, thanks to information from the person who owned the donor

dam at the time of the flush, we will know the parentage, range of age and possibly the sex on any pregnant recipients.

This increases accuracy of the Association’s records and decreases errors,” Laughlin said.

He added, “This rule will also provide an avenue for a seller to monitor registration of embryos or confirmed pregnancies from the donor of which they no longer have control.”

ET Authorization is free and processed through AAA Login, similar to artificial insemination (A.I.) certificates.

Producer News

Beef is at top of shoplifters’ lists Choice cuts of beef such as filet mignon are among the mostshoplifted merchandise in the country, trade publication Adweek reported recently.

Adweek cited a 21 percent increase in theft of “luxury meat” from stores between 2009 and 2011 and quotes U.S. Department of Justice sources as saying many police think beef “is the most common item stolen from grocery stores and supermarkets.”

Retail beef prices are about 10 percent higher than they were last year.

Liquor was second on Adweek’s list of mostshoplifted items, followed by electric tools, electronic devices, shaving products, AXE brand deodorants and body washes, designer clothing, the Let’s Rock Elmo and other popular toys, high-end fragrances and brandname athletic shoes.

Jonah Bowles, agriculture market analyst for

Virginia Farm Bureau Federation, noted that when gas prices started to climb a few years ago, “there was a much greater incidence of driveoffs at gas pumps. The same can be expected with higher meat prices at the grocery stores.”

Additionally, “alcohol consumption goes up as economies go down,” Bowles said. “So it’s not surprising that shoplifting in liquor stores would be higher as a result.”

Trying to please every beef customer takes more of the best A wider price gap between Select grade boxed beef and Choice or better — the Choice/Select spread — always comes back to supply and demand. Consumers vote with their dollars, and recent shifts in merchandising put much more highquality beef on the ballot, just as those supplies began to fall off.

Asked to comment on implications, JBS USA officers noted supplies of Choice beef had been on the rise, at prices not much above Select. That helped entice marketers to offer better beef to millions more shoppers by this fall, and now the wider price spread signals producers to boost supply.

“The retail channel in particular is making more impact than it has in the past on the spread,” said Tyler Brown, JBS premium program manager. Historically, that’s driven by foodservice, he adds, but retailers today want to offer more quality and consistency. “They’re looking at higher grading programs to do that.”

As looking gave way to buying more of the restaurant-quality beef, cattlemen took greater care to optimize marbling.

In November and December, high-quality middle meats are often scarce due to holiday buys, but Al Byers, JBS senior vice president of sales, says this fall

could see one of the tightest supply situations ever, especially for premium Choice programs.

“The signal being sent to us by the market and the spread is that we need more,” Byers said. “Part of that signal reflects the changing nature of the consumer.”

Indeed, as the flagging economy met higher overall beef prices, consumers sent their own signal to the retail and foodservice sectors. They wanted more value for their dollars. Brown says JBS customers are responding.

“If they’re going to sell beef, they’ve got to deliver a consistent product to their customers,” he said. “That’s more important now than ever due to pricing.”

Opportunities for retailers to meet the demand continue to grow, apace with opportunities for cattlemen to respond in kind.

“When you deliver something they’re looking for with exceptional value, which is defined in the price paid for quality, you’ll usually get rewarded for it,” Brown said.

The Choice/Select spread is a measure of that, and the basis of grid marketing. After jumping to near-term highs above $20 per hundredweight this fall, the packers say that spread

could stabilize somewhere between there and $12.

“Dollars drive everything in this industry,” Brown said. “I think the spread speaks for itself and the prevalence of black cattle and Angus-influenced genetics continuing to increase.”

Byers compares the evolving meat case to the variety consumers already expect in the wine aisle.

“You’ve got a bottle of $6 wine and then a $60 bottle of wine,” he said.

“You’ve got them all on the shelf, knowing there’s that spread.”

Similarly, many retailers that used to carry only Select beef have upgraded part of the meat case to a higher quality product, but they maintain variety with more choices in the case.

“Both retailers and packers are beginning to understand that marketing is not an average of where a particular con-

sumer walks in,” Byers said. “They have to provide a beef eating solution that meets the unique social demographics of each consumer who walks in.”

That caters to the universal demand for satisfaction, whether it’s in a fine dining restaurant or in the comfort of home.

“If we can deliver on those attributes every time, that’s a win for everyone, from the cow-calf guy all the way to the retailer and foodservice operator,” Brown said.

As supplies of premium Choice beef tighten up through the holiday season, Byers says packers will be challenged to meet demand.

“Certainly, we’re encouraging anybody from the feedlot to the stocker and rancher to keep sending us high-quality cattle,” he said. “We’ll find a home for it.”

Proper mineral management key to keeping cattle healthy

by Brian Wallheimer Beef producers shouldn’t overlook proper mineral intake as part of an overall feeding plan, according to a Purdue Extension specialist.

Ron Lemenager, a professor of animal sciences, said minerals are becoming a more important issue as feed options have changed.

“I think we pretty much had minerals taken care of when everyone was feeding corn and hay,” Lemenager

said. “But then it changed and we introduced by-products like distillers dried grains, corn gluten feed and soybean hulls, which changes our supplementation strategy.”

If minerals such as copper, zinc, manganese and selenium are out of balance, a cow could have problems with immune function, reproduction, digestion and metabolism, and onset

“Minerals are involved with pretty much every metabolic process in the body. Animals do not perform without them,” Lemenager said.

“If you don’t properly provide them, it can cause problems.”

Lemenager said the right combinations of forage, feed and supplements can minimize the

Producers should be familiar with a few key issues involved in mineral management: • Bioavailability.

Lemenager said animals do not absorb certain forms of minerals. Many minerals in the oxide form, such as copper oxide, do not deliver the copper a producer might intend.

be necessary.

• Chelates. Animals absorb these organic forms of minerals better, but they are more expensive. Lemenager said the cost could be worth it if the animal is stressed or severely deficient, but may not be worth it in other situations.

• Delivery methods.

Lemenager said loose minerals and blocks are effective, but controlling how much an animal consumes can be difficult with those methods.

Blocks can also be hard on the animal’s tongue.

Mixing minerals with other feeds can better ensure

proper consumption.

In general, producers should develop a mineral strategy, understand how to read and interpret a feed tag, and know how the minerals will interact once ingested.

More information on proper mineral management is available in

Lemenager’s article, “How do you know if you’re feeding the right mineral?” on pages 1820 in the winter 2011 edition of Indiana Beef Magazine. Other beef resources can be found at www.thebeefcenter.com Source: www.extension.org

Mielke from 5 averaged $1.3766, down 6 1/2-cents, and dry whey hit 65.99 cents, up 0.4 cent on the week.

It was a bit of a lean week for dairy news specifically. The last Ag Prices report of 2011 was released Friday afternoon after our deadline.

But, there was good news in improved October cheese and butter sales, according to USDA’s latest commercial disappearance data.

American cheese demand gained 4.7 percent from a year ago and was 3.6 percent above previous-month levels. Total cheese use was 4.6 percent higher than October 2010. Nonfat dry milk use, however, lost 16.5 percent, while butter use rose 18.1 percent.

The CME’s Daily Dairy Report (DDR) points out that August to October cheese use was up 1.8 percent from the prior year and butter use was up 12.7 percent. Cheese and butter usage for the year was up 3.1 percent and 10.7 percent, respectively. This fact, says the DDR, helped counter the decline in fluid milk sales, which were off 1.4 percent in the first 10 months of the year.

The Agriculture Department’s weekly milk production update reports that milk processing patterns are shifting and following expected

holiday patterns. Fluid milk accounts and smaller processors are taking more time off around the holidays and reducing their milk orders.

Schools and colleges closing for the holidays create the normal, expected backflow of milk.

Other processors are increasing plant times to handle the increasing milk volumes. The expectations are that plants will be running near capacity, but will be able to handle the current milk supplies.

Winter weather conditions were impeding transportation across several states in the South Central and Southwestern regions.

The impact is intense for those areas, but returning to normal, according to USDA. Many cheese buyers are positioning for the yearend inventory taking and waiting for the results of holiday movement before reordering, according to USDA’s Dairy Market News.

Packagers and processors operated on abbreviated schedules during the holiday weeks, reducing bulk cheese needs.

Cheese production has started to increase as holiday surplus milk volumes back into manufacturing channels to run as heavy as desired.

Extended schedules will be common into early

January. Some plants have orders for specialties for 2012 shipments, at least on some of their production. Most plants will make their default cheese, often cheddar that provides options for later sale, USDA said.

Butter demand tapered off Christmas week as needs had been shipped for the upcoming holiday. Some butter producers and handlers are indicating that some

last minute orders did develop, but volumes were not significant. Retail feature activity across the country continued right up to Christmas week, USDA reported.

Throughout the fall of the year, retail features in all regions of the U.S. have been much heavier than anticipated.

This feature activity cleared strong volumes of print butter which kept butter churns very

active all fall.

Looking internationally; New Zealand milk processors and handlers project that milk volumes are about 20 percent below peak levels and are trending lower as forecast earlier in the season. Steady rainfall was being reported on both islands and grass growth is good, although some milk producers are stating that grass quality might not be as positive

as in previous years.

Australia’s milk production season is on the down side of the peak.

November output was trending 3.3 percent heavier than last November and year to date output (5 months) was running about 3 percent stronger, according to USDA. The Alliance of Western Milk Producers Bill

Two months ago, the National FFA Organization announced a new record membership of 540,379 students thanks to more than 17,000 students in the U.S., Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands signing up during the 2010-11 school year.

On Dec.13, the organization’s fundraising arm, the National FFA Foundation, announces it raised a record $16 million through corporate and private financial contributions to support FFA in 2011.

The foundation welcomed 40 new corporate sponsors in 2011, raising the total number to 1,212. Three new corporations combined for a $3 million gift to FFA. The foundation also drew more than 80 new companies and organizations as exhibitors at the 2011 National FFA Convention & Expo, the nation’s largest gathering of students.

More than 53,350 FFA members, teachers and school administrators attended the 2011 event.

“We were well positioned in 2011 with the resources we needed to ensure our members received the ultimate FFA experience through our programs and key initiatives,” said National FFA Foundation executive director Rob Cooper. “Our core programs, including career development events, proficiencies, scholarships,

award competitions and more, were funded at 90 percent — another record high. Without the commitment of our donors, it would be impossible for FFA to make a meaningful difference in the lives of hundreds of thousands of students.”

Providing opportunities that help FFA members grow and succeed is the work of the National FFA Foundation.

Foundation donors make possible award and recognition programs, scholarships, service learning activities, global engagement programs, national FFA convention functions, educational materials, teacher training and much more.

Created in 1944 and governed by a 19-member national board, the foundation gives companies, organizations and individuals opportunities to provide financial resources and cooperation in support of FFA programs and other agricultural education organizations. Since, the foundation has raised more than $216 million to support FFA and agriculture education.

The National FFA Organization provides agricultural education to 540,379 student members in grades seven through 12 who belong to one of 7,489 local FFA chapters throughout the U.S., Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands.

Wythe County farmer wins eminent domain suit against VDOT MAX MEADOWS, VA — Edd Jennings proved that farmers sometimes can prevail over eminent domain.

Jennings recently won a lawsuit against the Virginia Department of Transportation for its taking and damaging Jennings’ Wythe County farm during repairs to the Interstate 77 bridge, which looms over his house and cuts his 300-acre farm in half.

“I thought the ruling was great and showed great courage on the part of Judge Showalter,” Jennings said.

Circuit Judge Joey Showalter ruled that VDOT’s use of Jennings’ land adversely affected access to his property. Between Jennings’ grandparents’ house and his parents’ house is a mound of construction debris, covered by dirt, that VDOT left under the I-77 bridge following the 2002 repair project.

A jury eventually will be impaneled to determine how much compensation Jennings should get from VDOT. “Money is not the issue,” Jennings said. “We didn’t sue them for money.

We want to make condemning authorities think before taking other people’s property.”

Condemning authorities such as local governments, state agencies and utilities can exercise the right of eminent domain to take private property for public use. They must compensate landowners. In most of the takings on Jennings’ land, including a natural gas pipeline, electric power lines, an interstate highway, a cable television line,

an overhead bridge and a county road, the family has been compensated. But Jennings got nothing for the I-77 bridge repairs.

“Edd learned that, despite the old saying ‘You can’t fight city hall,’ you actually can,” said attorney Joseph Waldo, president of the law firm Waldo & Lyle which has represented Jennings. “This should teach farmers that they can fight eminent domain.”

Jennings said farmers have so many issues to deal with that it’s hard for them to focus on land ownership. “But if you don’t have protected rights to your land, you have nothing.”

That’s why Virginia Farm Bureau Federation has been supporting an amendment to the state’s constitution that would protect private property rights by clearly defining public use.

“The only way to protect homeowners and landowners is to have a constitutional amendment that ensures land cannot be taken and given to another private owner,” said Trey Davis, VFBF assistant director of governmental relations.

The 2011 General Assembly passed a resolution to amend the Virginia constitution. The proposed amendment states that no more private property may be taken than is necessary to achieve the stated public use, and that the condemner has to prove the use is public. It also ensures that just compensation be given to the property owner.

Condemning entities would not be

able to exercise eminent domain if the primary use is for private gain, private benefit, private enterprise or increased jobs, tax revenue or economic development, Davis said.

The amendment must pass the 2012 General Assembly with the same wording in order for it to be on the ballot for Virginia voters next November.

MARKET

ANNAPOLIS, MD — The Maryland Department of Agriculture (MDA) will be holding a buy-local trade show from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Tuesday, Jan. 24, for Maryland growers and producers to have the opportunity to display their products and regional and local buyers to have a chance to speak with them one-on-one.

In 2011, there were more than 300 registrants, including produce farmers, artisan cheese and ice cream producers, beef and bison farmers, grocery store representatives, chefs, school nu-

trition directors, distributors, economic development officials, Maryland Cooperative Extension and regional agricultural marketing officials.

This year the event will be held at a larger venue, the Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium VADM William P. Lawrence “N” Room. 550 Taylor Ave. in Annapolis, MD. The larger space will allow for the event to continue growing in attendance, while still giving each exhibitor enough privacy to conduct their business. A fee of $20 for exhibitors will be charged to help offset costs of the

event. It is also partially funded through support of the USDA Specialty Crop Block Grant program, the USDA Risk Management Agency and the Maryland Agricultural and Resource Based Industry Development Corp.

Rising consumer demand for healthy, locally-grown and produced fruits, vegetables, meats, and specialty foods is sparking more interest in Maryland products from commercial purchasing agents. Maryland’s farmers play an important role in providing local, healthy food, saving open farmland, and ex-

panding rural economies. MDA’s marketing division has several on-going programs to link farmers with regional buyers and local consumers: the Maryland’s Best branding program, farmers’ market development, the Farmers’ Market Nutrition Programs and the Farm to School Program.

More information on this event will be made available through www.marylandsbest.net as the event draws closer. To register, or for questions please contact the Maryland Department of Agriculture, Marketing Specialist Stone Slade at 410841-5779 or sladewg@mda.state.md.us.

MHIB awards 15 grants totaling $21,441 ANNAPOLIS, MD — Therapeutic programs, conservationists, youth clubs, educational and research programs are among the 15 organizations receiving more than $21,000 in grants from the Maryland Horse Industry Board (MHIB).

The grants help to strengthen the industry by building awareness of and involvement in the horse industry through research, education and promotional activities. MHIB will formally present the checks at Horse World Expo on Jan. 21.

“The equine industry is an integral part of Maryland’s cultural and economic heritage,” said Agriculture Secretary Buddy Hance. “The scope and value of projects that the board evaluated illustrates the demand for these grants, and the ‘feed fund’ continues to make it possible to support more of those requests.”

The Maryland Feed Fund, established during the 2002 legislative session, provides an ongoing source of money to promote the horse industry. The refundable $6 per ton assessment on equine feed costs about $3 per horse per year to the

Mielke from

horse owner and supports this grant program as well as other promotional, research and outreach activities undertaken by the Maryland Horse Industry Board.

The board received 52 grant applications totaling more than $260,000 demonstrating the need for this funding.

Projects were evaluated for value to the in-

dustry, degree of industry promotion, size and scope of the activity, financial need and quality of the written presentation.

Since 2001, the board has awarded 189 grants totaling more than $218,000. Visit www.mda.state.md.us/pdf/mhib11.pdf for a summary of the most recent grants awarded.

The Maryland Horse Industry Board was established in 1998 to promote and develop the equine industry in Maryland.

Apply now for the 2013 Corn Board The National Corn Growers Association Nominating Committee is now accepting applications from members for the 2013 Corn Board. Through the Corn Board, members can become an integral part of the organization’s leadership.

The NCGA Corn Board represents the organization on all matters while directing both policy and supervising day-today operations. Board members serve the organization in a variety of ways. They represent the federation of state organizations, supervise the affairs and activities of NCGA in partnership with the chief executive officer and implement NCGA policy established by the Corn Congress.

Members also act as spokespeople for the NCGA and enhance the organization’s public standing on all organizational and policy issues.

In a recent Off the Cob interview, NCGA President Garry Niemeyer stressed that every grower, even if he or she is unaware, has a wealth of knowledge and perspective to offer the organization. He also noted that serving fellow farmers through the Corn Board rewards volunteers with training and experience that hone leadership and communications skills. Characterizing Corn Board service as “the opportunity of a lifetime,” Niemeyer then encouraged

prospective candidates to “step forward and take that chance.”

Applications are due Friday, Jan. 13. Nominated candidates will be introduced at the March 2012 Corn Congress meeting, held in conjunction with the Commodity Classic in Nashville, TN. Corn Board members will be elected at the July 2012 Corn Congress in Washington, D.C., and the new terms begin Oct. 1.

For more information, growers may contact Kathy Baker at NCGA’s St. Louis office at 636-733-9004.

California needs to do the same thing, VanDam said, except California’s peak is only 3.8 billion pounds in May. “On the whole they must invest 1.7 times more in plant capacity,” Van Dam wrote. “Stated differently our plants can run, on the average, somewhere in the range of 90 percent of annual capacity while theirs will average only 59 percent of capacity.”

The second important difference is in marketing, according to VanDam. “The pattern of production in New Zealand is more like a typical farm crop, for example corn, that needs to be harvested and stored in its season and parcelled out to meet customer demand which will be spread out throughout the year.

The storage costs must be absorbed, including the value of the product that

must be financed assuming producers will continue to be paid, at least partially, each month. There is also the requirement partially many times more storage capacity for each product than is required in California,” he concluded. “It will be very interesting to watch how each region’s markets adjust to these very different production styles.”

Dairy Profit Weekly reports that October U.S. alfalfa hay exports topped 155,000 metric tons for the second consecutive month, with the United Arab Emirates (UAE) the leading destination, according to USDA’s Foreign Ag Service.

October 2011 U.S. exports totaled 158,627 metric tons, the highest monthly total of 2011, and bringing the year-to-date (Y-T-D) total to 1.291 million metric tons, compared to 1.443

million metric tons for all of 2010.

UAE imported 55,673 metric tons of U.S. alfalfa hay in October, its highest monthly total since December 2010, and bringing its Y-T-D total to 437,967 metric tons, or about 34 percent of all U.S. exports so far this year.

Japan remains the leading annual U.S. alfalfa hay market, importing 49,500 metric tons in October, bringing its 2011 Y-T-D total to 473,803 metric tons, about 37% of the U.S. Y-T-D total.

On a Y-T -D basis, South Korea ranks third, at 137,839 metric tons (16,188 metric tons in October). China ranks fourth, importing 24,731 metric tons in October, bringing the 2011 YT-D total to 119,532 metric tons, according to Dairy Profit Weekly.

I wish you all a happy and blessed 2012!!

VanDam wrote in his December 23 newsletter that milk production this year in New Zealand appears to be about the same as California annual production in terms of hundredweights produced without adjusting for the differences in components.

But he pointed to the huge difference in the patterns of production.

Production drops to nearly zero in the winter months in New Zealand, he said, and climbs to nearly double California levels in their spring. The implications of this difference are important, according to VanDam. Most glaring of those differences, he said, is the need for New Zealand to have sufficient capacity to process all of their milk in the highest month, October, at 6.4 billion pounds.

Home,, Family,, Friendss & You Appl-icious ways to prepare a delicious and nutritious fruit (NAPSA) — At only 80 calories, apples are high in dietary fiber and vitamin C. They contain iron and other trace minerals and vitamin A. One serving of apples has more of the antioxidant power needed to fight aging, cancer and heart disease than any other fruit.

Whether you pick your apples from the farmer’s market or grocery store, there are many mouthwatering ways to enjoy them. Try these tempting recipes that combine fresh crisp apples with creamy caramel.

Creamy caramel-topped apple pie makes the most of the season's fresh apple harvest.

Caramel-Glazed Apple Pie Prep Time: 20 minutes Bake Time: 55 to 65 minutes Yield: 8 servings Apple Pie: Pastry for double-crust pie 8 cups peeled and sliced cooking apples (about 4 to 6 large) 1/3 cup Karo® Dark Corn Syrup

3 tablespoons butter OR margarine, melted 3 tablespoons sugar 1 1/2 tablespoons Argo(r) or Kingsford’s® Corn® Starch 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/4 teaspoon salt Caramel Glaze: 1/4 cup brown sugar 1/4 cup chopped pecans 3 tablespoons Karo Dark Corn Syrup 2 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted 1 tablespoon Argo or Kingsford’s Corn Starch Preheat oven to 375° F. Fit one pie crust into bottom of 9 1/2-inch deepdish pie pan. Add apples.

Combine corn syrup, butter, sugar, corn starch, cinnamon and salt in a small bowl. Pour over apples.

Top with second crust, fold edges under, seal and flute. Cut a few slits in top crust to vent.

Place a shallow pan under pie to catch any drips and bake for 45 to 55 minutes, until crust is browned and apples are tender.

Combine all caramel glaze ingredients in a small bowl. Dollop over pie and carefully spread over hot crust. Bake 10 minutes or until topping is bubbly.

Caramel Dip Prep Time: 5 minutes Cook Time: 10 minutes Yield: 4 cups 1/2 cup butter OR margarine 2 cups brown sugar 1 cup Karo Light Corn Syrup 2 tablespoons water 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract Melt butter in a medium- sized saucepan. Stir in sugar, corn syrup and water.

Bring to a full boil over medium-high heat. Add condensed milk, stirring constantly. Bring to a full boil

This delicious caramel sauce can be used as a dip for apples, pears, bananas, graham crackers or gingersnaps. for 3 minutes.

Remove from heat and add vanilla. Serve immediately or keep warm in a slow cooker or fondue pot.

Recipe tip: Prepare ahead and reheat in microwave. If sauce seems too thick, stir in 1 tablespoon water or milk.

Karo Syrup is an important ingredient in baked goods, pies and popcorn balls and can make homemade desserts taste better.

Argo Corn Starch allows the natural flavor of food to come through. It can be used as a thickener for smooth gravies, sauces, glazes and casseroles, as well as in pies, puddings and cake fillings.
