Classic tractors preserved with care

by Sally Colby After only two tries, Rodney Wolf starts the engine of a rusty tractor and rolls it out from under the storage shed.

The tractor is old, but runs smoothly. Although determining its age might be tough, figuring out just what kind of tractor it is might prove to be the real challenge — even for seasoned aficionados of classic tractors.

The tractor was constructed by a talented machinist who used parts from discarded vehicles and tractors to create a one-of-a-kind tractor. Today, it’s owned by Wolf, who has been collecting classic tractors since 2000.

That’s the year Wolf had the opportunity to obtain a 1949 John Deere A, a tractor that had been in his family for over 60 years. “It was the first John Deere tractor my family purchased new,” said Wolf.

“Seems as if I always got stuck using it on the farm, but I loved it.” Wolf explained one of the unique features that’s still part of the tractor today. “I was about 12 years old, out plowing a field, but there was no toolbox — nowhere to put wrenches or anything else. My brother built a toolbox for it and painted it red because the only paint we had was International red.”

As he worked on the John Deere A, Wolf realized that he enjoyed the restoration process. His next project was a Farmall A, a 29 HP tractor designed for garden crops and other small-scale farm use. “It was completely worn out,” said Wolf. “It had been in use until 2000, but the block was cracked, the head was cracked, and there was

water in it. I tore it apart and went over the whole thing, and had it up and running within six months.”

Wolf grew up on a 171-acre farm near the Eisenhower Farm in Gettysburg, PA. After selling their dairy herd, the family raised beef, hogs and chickens. They also raised field crops and did custom field work. “We were out in the fields by about seven in the morning,” said Wolf.

“We’d come in for lunch, fill

up with fuel and go back to run until 11 or 12 at night.

My father was a battlefield guide, so my mother did a lot of the field work. Dad put a platform on the tractor, then my mother would put me on the platform and go out to plow or disc, and I’d sleep there.”

One tractor that draws attention when Wolf and his wife Betty display their collection is a wide-axle Farmall B. The B already had an offset

steering wheel, so Wolf added a platform, an extra seat, a cushion, and a dummy steering wheel. Another unique tractor in Wolf’s collection is a blue redbelly Ford 8N. It came from a neighbor who called to tell Wolf he had bought a ‘really special’ Ford tractor. Although the tractor was blue and grey, Wolf explained that it was supposed to be red. The neighbor tore it apart, then called Wolf to help work on the points, but the tractor sat out for several more years without further work. Eventually, the neighbor called to give Wolf the tractor and finish working on it. “I painted it blue because that’s what color paint he had,” said Wolf. “I like it better than the red, but it isn’t supposed to be that way.”

Most of Wolf’s collection is stored in a machinery shed that holds 28 tractors. The building has a stone floor to prevent condensation and moisture buildup. All of his tractors have new or nearly new tires, which Wolf says are somewhat difficult to find, but that imports are filling the need for 40-inch and 42inch tires. He says that the current trend in restoring old tractors is to leave them alone. “If the paint is bad, don’t repaint” he said. “Those tractors will bring more money.”

The old, rusty tractor that defies identification and started without hesitation is probably one of the most interesting pieces in Wolf’s collection. He refers to it as the Mason-Dixon tractor because it was purchased from one of two brothers who lived in a house that strad-

dled the Mason-Dixon line.

“They lived in the same house, but Will Hoffman lived in Pennsylvania and his brother George lived in Maryland,” said Wolf, adding that Will was a talented machinist and farmer. “The tractor was constructed from scratch in 1936 with a Model A engine, truck transmission and rear. The radiator, hood and gas tank are from a Cletrac tractor, and there’s a Fordson toolbox on it. The cultivators are from horsedrawn cultivators that Hoffman rigged up to fit the tractor. The rest of it was made from whatever parts he could find.”

When time permits, Wolf and his wife exhibit the tractors at classic tractor events and other ag exhibitions. Wolf knows every tractor has an interesting history, and whenever possible, he tries to find out as much as he can about each tractor he purchases so that he can explain that history to those who admire classic tractors.

Wolf isn’t particularly attached to one brand or another, but he has a theory about why certain brands and models are more popular in some areas and among farming families. “One of the reasons for it was the dealer was like a family friend,” said Wolf. “Farmers didn’t travel much back then, so they bought from the dealer who gave them the best deal.”

Although Wolf used to collect tractors and restore them completely, today he only collects tractors that run. “I’ve got classic tractor fever,” he said, explaining his hobby.

“That’s all it is. I just adore these old tractors.”

This John Deere A has been in Rodney Wolf's family since they purchased it new in 1949. The red tool box was made by Rodney’s brother.

by Hope Holland The invitation to the Farm Stewardship Meeting reads, in part, “Please join us: The Maryland Horse Council’s Farm Stewardship Committee is offering a program on environmentally-sound horse farm management and a tour of Persimmon Tree Farm.”

It goes on to say: “Come to the first meeting of the MHC’s Farm Stewardship Committee. The goals of the committee are to: • take a lead in and get recognition for managing horse farms in a manner that contributes to a healthy horse and a healthy natural environment; • inform the horse community about assistance programs, laws and regulations affecting land management on our horse farms; and • share successful personal experiences regarding horse farm land management and conservation.

There is a good reason why Mike and Carolyn Krome’s Persimmon Tree Farm in Westminster, MD has been chosen as the kick off spot for the MHC’s fledgling program.

Along with two other farms in MD, Karla Stoner’s Bloomsbury Forge and Steve Darcey’s Edgewood Farm, the Krome farm is one of only three horse farms to be recognized as the Maryland Association of Soil Conservation Districts as “Certified Agriculture Conservation Stewards.”

One of the major reasons for the certification process is that

every farm in Maryland either helps or hurts the delicate and often fluctuating balance of health of the Chesapeake Bay, which is not only a recreation area, but is also home to persons who make their own living working at various forms of enterprise that originate there.

The good thing about this business of being a Conservation Steward, according to Carolyn Krome, is that it is simply an extension of conservation beliefs she and her husband, Mike, have held for a long, long time.

Another very good thing about it is that it has helped to transform the 130 acres of Persimmon Tree Farm into a lovely setting for the sleek hunter horses and doughty jumper entries that leave from this oasis to the winner’s circles of most of the East Coast’s top show rings.

Unlike the more agriculturally intensive farms in Maryland a horse farm needs a certain panache to charm its less agrarian-minded clients. It is fine to look rural as long as it is correctly presented to those persons who come to ride their stylish horses in lessons or watch them being schooled by the trainers who are lucky enough to be part of the Krome associates.

On Persimmon Tree’s acreage there is a blending of both cultures. Forty-three of the acres are in warm season grasses which are comprised of both big and little bluestem, Indian grass, partridge pea, lespedeza and red top grass.

Plantings of Jerusalem artichokes, bee balm, coreopsis and wild aster between the pastures provide both visual beauty and sanctuary for birds, small animals and butterflies.

This is planted upon a rocky curving hill that would have been a major problem to cultivate for another crop so that is also good reason for the acreage being turned into a shelter for the small animals and deer that vie for its comfort and shelter.

In between the pastures is planted a mix of Jerusalem Artichoke, Plains Coreopsis, Bee Balm (Monarda), Columbine and wild asters which grow in a wild jumble that offers sanctuary to birds, insects and uncounted butterflies.

The natural aquatic grasses in the pond offer safe harbor for newly hatched fish and shade for the cooler waters that they need to thrive. The water lilies are both useful and pleasing to the eye.

Along the creek that flows through the property to the pond and beyond, the banks have been left ungroomed to provide a leafy shelter for the creek, not only for a hedge against soil erosion in the rainy weeks, but also to offer a necessary cooling effect for the spawn of the small trout and other fish that inhabit the waters.

It is for those same reasons of protection from soil erosion and wildlife shelter that many of the natural hedges are left

on the sometimes steep hillsides of Persimmon Tree. The pond, too, has been turned into an asset. It is not only a very attractive feature, but has been naturally enhanced to protect the immature fish that need a place to hide from aquatic predators until they grow a bit.

The cost of all of this, according to Carolyn was not terribly high. “It is amazing what you can do with 2 ounces of this seed and 5 ounces of that seed,” she said.

The shady banks of a stream keep the water cooler to encourage healthy fish spawning and growth.

Lung adhesions rob profit ~ Cattle may show no sign of illness

by Miranda Reiman Sick cattle are expensive cattle.

Treatment is costly in itself, but the side effects of illness keep robbing through lower performance and carcass quality.

An analysis of more than 62,000 calves in Iowa’s Tri-County Steer Carcass Futurity (TCSCF) found the presence of lung adhesions from 2002 to 2011 was negatively correlated with those measures.

“When you add it all up, lung adhesions are pretty costly to the industry,” says Darrell Busby, TCSCF manager.

The 2012 report includes TCSCF retained ownership records from cattle fed in 18 cooperating yards that used common nutrition, health and management strategies. Individual packing plant records were matched with live and harvest data, then sorted into four data groups: cattle without lung adhesions and never treated in the feedyard, no adhesions but treated, adhesions but not treated, and cattle with lung adhesions that

were treated.

Overall, 5 percent of the calves had lung adhesions, but only one-third (1,042 head) were treated in the feedyard.

“We ask that all cattle put into the futurity be preconditioned and have two rounds of modified-live vaccines,” Busby says. “I’m not sure our cattle are completely representative of the entire industry.”

Visual observations in the packing plant, where the problem slows the processing chain speed, may indicate a higher incidence nationwide.

“There are several monetary costs to this,” Busby says. “They gain less and they eat less.”

Cattle that were never visibly sick and had no adhesions were heavier at harvest (1,185 pounds compared to 1,138 pounds for those treated cattle with lung adhesions) and took fewer days to get there (165 vs. 179).

The non-treated, healthy cattle reached 68.4 percent USDA Choice and above, compared to 53.8 percent for the cattle that had adhesions and

received treatment. Even more dramatic was the drop in Certified Angus Beef ® (CAB®) brand acceptance from 17.8 percent to 7.6 percent.

“That’s a big, big reduction in percent Choice,” Busby says. “You also cut Prime down to just a third of a percent. Sure, you improve your yield grades, but those premiums aren’t great enough to offset the quality grade discounts.”

In nearly every category significant to final value, the cattle free of lung adhesions won out: final live and carcass weight, days on feed, average daily gain (ADG), cost of gain, dressing percentage and quality grade.

All of this was reflected in final profit per head, where that group earned $67.55 while those with adhesions and treated lost $5.32.

Nobody wants sick calves, but this study punctuates the need to employ prevention strategies diligently.

“When we report this study to producers, most of them say, ‘What happened? My calf has lung adhesions but he was never treated in the feedlot,’” Busby says.

Lung adhesions indicate an animal had health challenges at some point in

its life — but not when — so the calf could have been sick earlier, or missed in the feedlot.

“After one of the worst feeding winters, we found lung adhesions were three times normal, indicating environmental factors as well,” Busby reports.

“Based on other work, we know that the younger, lighter calves are the biggest problems,” he says. “So I’d suggest good nutrition at late gestation and early lactation, calves vaccinated and weaned 30 to 45 days — those are proven [on-ranch] methods to reduce health problems in the feedlot.” After placement on feed, the manager can only invest the time to identify sick calves and treat them with effective drugs.

He looks to the future with high hopes for additional tools to combat the problem.

“In our data, the estimated heritability of being susceptible to bovine respiratory disease was .18. I hope someday DNA technology will help us identify sires and select for that,” Busby says.

Letter to the Editor Anti-farm laws not the answer I received a request from an animal rights group seeking my farm’s support of a bill in the New Jersey State Senate. The authors of the bill claim that it will outlaw farmers’ abuse of animals by “using pens so small that nursing pigs cannot stand up or lie down.” It seems that they also feel that this law will “level” the playing field between those big greedy corporate conglomerates and us nice little friendly family farms (kind of a clever way to get our support, don’t you think?).

I know of not a single New Jersey farm where pigs are in pens so small that they cannot stand up or lie down.

Perhaps this group does. If so, I wish they would tell me the name and address of those farms.

Although I no longer raise livestock (I grow choose and cut Christmas trees), I have had many years of experience raising pigs in the past. It is important to provide appropriate pens for nursing sows so that baby piglets are not crushed by the mother. What may appear to the inexperienced observer as a “cruel” process of restricting a sow’s movement is actually a method of keeping the babies alive. When I raised pigs, the farrowing pens were about 10 feet by 10 feet and had, what we referred to as, baby bumpers on all sides. The mother would lean against a wall and basically “flop down” to a prone position.

Without the bumpers, babies would get squished without the mother pig even realizing what she had done.

There may be a very small minority of farmers who actually abuse animals. That, I find despicable.

Nevertheless, there are already laws

on the books and more than adequate agencies to enforce those laws.

I don’t buy into the concept that family farms (like mine) are in conflict with “industrial operations,” as this group implies. There is more than enough room for all of us in this country and I do not consider farms larger than my own to be the “enemy.”

I have always been very reluctant to support new restrictions on agricultural endeavors. It’s hard enough being a farmer these days without “Big Brother” placing restriction after restriction on our activities. I believe that farmers (both small and large operations) have the best interest of animals as a top priority. I am sure that members of this group have only the best intentions in promoting new laws regarding farming. However, I have found that so many of the animal “rights” organizations simply don’t understand (or don’t wish to understand) the nature of farming. Farmers are good people. Left alone, we will do the right thing... for our farms and for our animals.

It is for those reasons that Shale Hills Farm cannot endorse this legislation.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — On Aug. 1, Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack announced two new pieces of disaster assistance for farmers and ranchers impacted by the nation’s worsening drought. First, Vilsack is expanding emergency haying and grazing on approximately 3.8 million acres of conservation land to bring greater

relief to livestock producers dealing with shortages of hay and pastureland. Second, the Secretary announced that crop insurance companies have agreed to provide a short grace period for farmers on insurance premiums in 2012. As a result, farming families now have an extra 30 days to make payments without incur-

designated disaster areas by USDA in 2012, mainly due to drought.

“President Obama and I will continue to take swift action to get help to America’s farmers and ranchers through this difficult time,” said Vilsack. “The assistance announced today will help U.S. livestock producers dealing with climbing feed prices,

ring interest penalties on unpaid premiums.

Earlier in the day, Vilsack signed disaster designations for an additional 218 counties in 12 states as primary natural disaster areas due to damage and losses caused by drought and excessive heat. More than half (50.3 percent) of all counties in the United States have been

emergency haying and grazing actions. Producers should contact their local Farm Service Agency offices for additional information.

Federal crop insurance Secretary Vilsack announced that crop insurance companies have agreed to provide a short grace period for farmers on insurance premiums in 2012. To help producers who may have cash flow problems due to natural disasters, Secretary Vilsack sent a letter to crop insurance companies asking them to voluntarily defer the accrual of any interest on unpaid spring crop premiums by producers until Nov. 1. In turn, to assist the crop insurance companies, USDA will not require crop insurance companies to pay uncollected producer premiums until one month later.

During the 2012 crop year, USDA has designated 1,584 unduplicated counties across 32 states as disaster areas — 1,452 due to drought — making all qualified farm operators in the areas eligible for low-interest emergency loans. The U.S. Drought Monitor indicates that 66 percent of the nation’s hay acreage is in an area experiencing drought, while approximately 73 percent of the nation’s cattle acreage is in an area experiencing

Responding to my request, crop insurance companies indicated that producers can forgo interest penalties to help our nation’s farm families struggling with cash flow challenges. The Obama Administration intends to continue helping those who farm or ranch and live and work in rural America through this period of hardship.”

Emergency haying and grazing In response to the expanding drought, Secretary Vilsack announced that livestock producers and other participants in the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) will now be able to hay and graze acres that have been ineligible in the past. Many of these additional acres have wetland-related characteristics and are likely to contain better quality hay and forage than on other CRP acres. There are approximately 3.8 million acres that will now be eligible for emergency haying and grazing, subject to certain conditions.

Haying and grazing may only occur under strict compliance rules to help minimize impacts on these sensitive specialty practices. In addition, USDA will conduct follow-up monitoring and evaluation of these opened CRP areas to study the effects of the drought and USDA’s

Drought from A5 drought. During the week ending July 29, USDA’s National Agricultural Statistics Service reported that U.S. soybeans rated 37 percent very poor to poor, matching the lowest conditions observed during the drought of 1988.

NASS also reported that 48 percent of the U.S. corn crop was rated very poor to poor, while 57 percent of the nation’s pastures and rangeland are rated very poor or poor condition.

USDA has announced a variety of steps to get assistance to producers impacted by the worsening drought, including: • Allowing additional acres under CRP to be used for emergency haying or grazing. The action allows lands that are not yet classified as “under severe drought” but that are “abnormally dry” to be used for haying and grazing.

• Allowing producers to modify current Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) contracts to allow for grazing, livestock watering, and other conservation activities to address drought conditions.

• Authorizing haying and grazing of Wetlands Reserve Program (WRP) easement areas in drought-affected areas where haying and grazing is consistent with conservation of wildlife habitat and wetlands. USDA has expedited its authorization process for this haying and grazing.

• Encouraging crop insurance companies to provide a short grace period for farmers on unpaid insurance premiums, as some farming families can be expected to struggle to make ends meet at the close of the crop year.

• Reducing the emergency loan interest rate from 3.75 percent to 2.25

percent.

• Lowering the reduction in the annual rental payment to producers on CRP acres used for emergency haying or grazing from 25 percent to 10 percent in 2012.

• Simplifying the Secretarial disaster designation process and reduced the time it takes to designate counties affected by disasters by 40 percent.

USDA agencies have been working for weeks with state and local officials, as well as individuals, businesses, farmers and ranchers, as they begin the process of helping to get people back on their feet. The U.S. Small Business Administration has also made 63 agency declarations in 33 states covering 1,675 counties, providing a pathway for those affected to apply for an Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL). SBA’s EIDLs are available to small, non-farm businesses and small agricultural cooperatives that are economically affected by the drought in their community.

by Blake Hurst, Missouri Farm Bureau History has a way of finding us, even if we would like to decline the honor.

And this summer will go down in history. We’ve passed the drought of 1956 and are closing in on 1936. My grandfather, who has passed on, would never accept a summer worse than 1936, the formative event of his long life.

He’d never again be able to start a sentence with “Back in ’36,” because we’d answer that 2012 was just as bad. In fact, I’m planning on using this summer as the main evidence for the

proposition that the younger generation hasn’t got what it takes. I’ll say things like: “Well, yes, its been a tough year, but you’re too young to remember the summer of 2012.”

We can do everything right, make the best of plans, have a perfect stand with high fertility and excellent weed control, but Mother Nature has plans of her own. Here in Missouri, I’ve visited with hog farmers who are facing losses as far as the eye can see and cattle farmers who will have a short calf crop next spring because it’s too hot for

FOCUS ON AGRICULTURE American Farm Bureau Federation cows to breed. I’ve heard from ranchers forced to liquidate a cow herd that is the sum total of their life’s work. Farmers in the Missouri Bootheel are reaching the end of their financial and physical endurance, as they work around the clock to irrigate their crops.

Crop farmers across Missouri are faced with no crop at all. Many of them are worried about meeting forward contracts when they have no crop to deliver. Feed prices are skyrocketing, and we all are suffering from the stress, both physical and mental, that the summer of 2012 has brought.

This summer’s disaster will influence food prices not just over the next few months but for years. We take reasonably priced and plentiful food supplies for granted, and although this summer’s drought absolutely will not threaten that blessing, it is a reminder that agriculture is important.

This is why we should worry about the future. We can’t control the weather, but policy mistakes are self-inflicted. As consumers deal with high prices caused by this year’s drought, voters and consumers need to ensure we don’t legislate, litigate or regulate ourselves in a permanent short crop.

Think I’m overstating the case?

A court case recently filed would, if the plaintiffs are successful, limit fertilizer application in the Mississippi Basin. It might mean some land in the Midwest would lie idle each year.

If the Humane Society of the United States meets its goals, modern livestock production practices will no longer be used. That would mean, among other things, that it would take more grain to produce the same amount of meat.

The recent clean water guidance written by the Environmental Protection Agency would triple the amount of farmland regulated by the agency.

Farmers would need permits to follow normal farming practices. It isn’t difficult to envision a future when permits would be denied and land would leave production.

Anti-genetically modified organism (GMO) groups are fighting the use of modern seed technology. Some counties in Oregon are moving to outlaw the technology, and California has a ballot initiative that would demand labeling for any food item produced using genetically modified crops.

The goal of these groups is to turn back the clock on science. If they are successful, crop yields will shrink. Any of these measures will allow man to accomplish every year what nature only does once every 50 years. While Mother Nature has her plans, we can avoid bad ideas that will increase hunger and food prices. We’ll survive this drought, as my grandparents did the summer of 1936. I’m not sure we can survive those who would create a manmade drought every summer.

UNIVERSITY PARK, PA — Visitors to the Farm Safety Demonstration Area at Penn State’s Ag Progress Days, Aug. 14-16, can learn about the safe operation of all-terrain vehicles and can see farm accident rescue simulations.

Aimed at both youth and adult ATV users, the 20-minute safety demonstration will take place at 10:30 a.m., 12:30 p.m. and 2:30 p.m. on Tuesday and Thursday on a course at the end of West 8th Street.

The presentation, which will be moderated

by a state Department of Conservation and Natural Resources instructor, will show the perils of risky ATV operation and stress how the machines can be used safely by modeling a DCNR-approved ATV safety course.

ATVs increasingly have become important on farms, according to Dennis Murphy, Distinguished Professor of Agricultural Safety and Health and coordinator of the farm safety area at Ag Progress Days.

“More and more ATVs are being used for work, and that is being fueled by the many attachments

Allan Hart & Sons FARM MACHINERY

that are made for them to help with farm tasks,” he said. “And farm families use the machines for fun, too, riding for recreation and to hunting and fishing spots.”

The ATV safety demonstration is being offered at Ag Progress Days because Murphy and others in the College of Agricultural Sciences have become concerned by the growing number of ATV accidents.

“Ridden improperly, they can be dangerous,” he said. “We see statistics showing too many people — particularly youths — being involved in ATV accidents resulting in serious injuries or fatalities. We are hoping to get their attention at Ag Progress Days and influence them to be more careful operating ATVs.”

Addressing the health and safety of farmers, Ag Progress Days also will feature farm accident rescue simulations at 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. on Wednesday, involving agricultural confined spaces. Those will include demonstrations of emergency scene stabilization and patient-extrication techniques, as well as safety suggestions for farmers who need to enter confined spaces on the farm.

In addition, attendees can get information about several types of farm-safety programs and agricultural emergency response resources from on-site specialists.

The farm safety and health quiz bowl will be held Wednesday in The Learning Center, located

off of Main Street just below the Pasto Museum. FFA youth compete at 9 a.m., and 4-H youth compete at 1 p.m.

“Youth will answer farm safety and health questions in this semi-final quiz bowl event,” said Murphy. “The winning teams will advance to the state finals in January at the Pennsylvania Farm Show.”

Visitors to the Rural Health and Safety Tent, at the end of West 6th Street adjacent to the farm safety area, will be able to take advantage of a variety of health screenings and information. Free vision screenings and blood pressure readings will be offered from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. daily. On Wednesday only, free tetanus shots will be given while sup-

plies last.

One core pesticide credit can be earned by attending a 30-minute presentation about personal protective equipment, which will be conducted by a rural health farm worker protection safety specialist at 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. daily.

Sponsored by Penn State’s College of Agricultural Sciences, Ag Progress Days is held at the Russell E. Larson Agricultural Research Center at Rock Springs, nine miles southwest of State College on Route 45.

Vilsack tours methane digester operation on Pennsylvania dairy farm BERLIN, PA — On July 17 Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack visited a Pennsylvania dairy farm that is using an anaerobic digester to convert manure into electricity and high quality bedding, cutting energy costs and providing a resting area for more contented cows. The digester, which went online a year ago, was funded in part with the support of USDA Rural Development.

“Using enhanced manure management techniques not only provides a new source of income for farmers, it also improves air and water quality while providing renewable electricity for hundreds of homes in the community,” said Vilsack. “It’s a win-win-win.”

Pennwood Farms, which is family-owned, uses an anaerobic digester to produce all of its electricity and sells enough power back to the local grid to meet the needs of an estimated 600 people. The digester also produces clean bedding as a byproduct, which saves the owners from having to buy bedding for the dairy herd.

In all, manure from the 570 cow dairy farm creates about 920,000 kWh of electricity a year.

USDA supported deployment of the biodigester by providing grants and loans in 2010 totaling over $528,000 through the Rural Energy for America Program (REAP). Last month, Vilsack announced funding under REAP for an addiGiorgi Mushroom Company, located in Berks County now sourcing the following material:

“STRAW BASED” HORSE BEDDING (STRAW MANURE) Contacts: Dave Tranquillo 610-926-8811 ext. 5223 dtranquillo@giorgimush.com Kevin Eickhoff 610-926-8811 ext. 5216 keickhoff@giorgimush.com Michele Fisher 610-926-8811 ext. 5189 mfisher@giorgimush.com

tional 450 projects nationwide. REAP, authorized by the 2008 Farm Bill, offers funds for farmers, ranchers and rural small businesses to purchase and install renewable energy systems and make energy-efficiency improvements.

These federal funds leverage other funding sources for businesses.

Anaerobic digesters like the one the secretary toured at Pennwood Farms, are in concert with an agreement with U.S. dairy producers signed by Vilsack in Copenhagen, Denmark in 2009 to accelerate adoption of innovative manure to energy projects on American dairy farms. The agreement represents a dynamic public/private partnership and is another demonstration of the Obama Administration’s commitment to curb the emissions of greenhouse gases.

Since the MOU was signed, the Obama Administration has provid-

ed 149 digester awards to eligible applicants.

With the Memorandum of Understanding, the Innovation Center for U.S. Dairy — part of the Dairy Management Inc. — the USDA and U.S. dairy producers are working together to reach a 25 percent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by the year 2020. USDA will do so by undertaking research initiatives, allowing implementation flexibility, and enhancing marketing efforts of anaerobic digesters and energy efficiency improvements to dairy producers.

As part of the effort,

Manure Handling recently, a Renewable Energy Education Field Day webinar series on Digester Technology and Financing was conducted in partnership with the Farm Foundation, NFP, USDA, US EPA, Innovation Center for U.S. Dairy and the Wisconsin Bioenergy Initiative of the University of Wisconsin.

Anaerobic digester technology is a proven method of converting waste products, such as manure, into electricity.

The technology utilizes generators that are fueled by methane captured from the animal manure. Solid byproducts of the system are dried and used on the farm as livestock bedding material, and liquid byproducts are used as

high-quality organic fertilizer in place of chemical fertilizers.

In addition to REAP, USDA also offers additional funding to help farmers install an anaerobic digester as part of their manure management system. Funding is provided by the Natural Resources Conservation Service’s Environmental Quality Incentive Program (EQIP).

USDA, through its Rural Development mission area, has an active portfolio of more than $170 billion in loans and loan guarantees.

These programs are designed to improve the economic stability of rural communities, businesses, residents, farmers and ranchers and improve the quality of life in rural America.

The maximum discount rate applicable for August 2012 for the Tobacco Transition Payment Program is 5 percent, unchanged from July 2012. This is based on the 3.250 percent prime rate plus 2 percent, rounded to the nearest whole number.

Past monthly releases announcing interest rates charged by CCC on commodity and marketing assistance loans disbursed for that particular month reflect the interest rate the U.S. Treasury charged CCC for that month.

This was the interest rate specified by CCC since Jan. 1, 1982, but the process of establishing the interest rate was changed by a provision of the Federal Agriculture Improvement and

Reform Act of 1996 (the Act), enacted on April 4, 1996.

Section 163 of the Act requires that monthly interest rates applicable to commodity and marketing assistance loans are to be 100 basis points — or 1 percent — greater than the rate determined under the applicable interest rate formula in effect on Oct. 1, 1995. This formula resulted in a rate equivalent to the amount the U.S. Treasury charged CCC for borrowing, for the month.

Industry improves biodiesel specifications to meet needs of today's fuels Biodiesel, petroleum industry set new ASTM specifications for voluntary No. 1-B grade biodiesel JEFFERSON CITY, MO – Fuel quality and a strong set of standards remain one of the highest priorities for the biodiesel industry. That is why the industry continues to refine the ASTM biodiesel specifications to meet the needs of customers with Ultra-Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD) and new diesel engine and after-treatment technology. A new voluntary No. 1-B grade for biodiesel (B100) passed the ASTM D2 Committee on Petroleum Products and Lubricants this past spring and the results were sanctioned by the ASTM Committee on Standards in a meeting held late last week.

“The biodiesel industry took a proactive stance to improve the standards governing America's Advanced Biofuel,” said Joe Jobe, CEO of the National Biodiesel Board. “For the large majority of biodiesel users, the current standard along with conventional industry management practices allow for biodiesel blend use year-round, even in extreme climates.”

ASTM D6751, the ASTM standard for pure biodiesel (B100) prior to blending, was modified to create a new voluntary No. 1-B grade. The new grade provides more stringent controls for minor components in raw materials used to make biodiesel, such as vegetable oils and animal fats. The specification values of the current standard will become the No. 2-B grade in D6751 without change. Producers or blenders can continue to utilize the current specification under the No. 2B grade at any time of the year exactly as done today, or they may opt to use the more stringent No 1-B grade. The finished blended fuel standards—D975 for on/off road diesel up to 5 percent biodiesel (B5), D7467 for B6-B20

on/off road applications, and D396 for heating oil up to 5 percent biodiesel—do not change. B100 used for D975, D7467, and D396 must continue to meet D6751 (either the No. 1B or the No. 2-B grade) prior to blending.

The choice of the No. 1-B and No. 2-B designations were selected to make the standard as similar as possible as the current mode of operation with No. 1 and No. 2 diesel fuel. Most users utilize No. 2 diesel fuel, but if they experience un-expected filter clogging they can switch to No. 1 diesel fuel, use additives or other means to prevent un-expected filter clogging. The same philosophy is to be maintained with the No. 1-B and No. 2-B biodiesel specification, i.e. most users will continue to utilize the No. 2-B biodiesel but if un-expected filter clogging is experienced, No. 1-B can be used for blending.

The interest in creating No.1-B specification was triggered by a handful of cases with the new Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel fuel experiencing un-expected filter clogging above the cloud point of the finished blend, which mostly occurred with low aromatic No. 1 type diesel blends. The voluntary No. 1-B grade maintains the same parameters as the current standard, and provides more stringent controls for minor components which have been implicated in rare filter clogging in the field with ULSD. Monoglycerides were chosen as a surrogate for all minor components and are limited in the new No. 1-B grade to 0.40 percent mass maximum, and the Cold Soak Filtration Time is limited to 200 seconds year around.

“We are committed as an industry to being proactive so that the end user gets the best product possible,” said Kyle Anderson, Technical Projects Manager for the National Biodiesel Board. “As part of our

F UEL

on-going commitment to improving the standards and fuel quality, we will continue to investigate these rare phenomena and may propose further changes over time as more data and improved test methods become available.

Biodiesel is one of the

most tested fuels in the world, and that’s why customers can have confidence in biodiesel blends with ULSD and new diesel engines and after treatment technology moving forward.”

The No. 1-B specification passed the ASTM

D2 Main Committee on Petroleum Products and Lubricants via electronic ballot adjudication of negatives from the December 2011 ASTM D2 meeting. The handling of the negatives was reviewed and approved by the ASTM Committee on

Standards at a meeting late last week. The modified version of ASTM D6751 containing the new No. 1-B grade will be released for public use later this summer after editorial review and typesetting.

Sigora Solar a renewable energy leader in Virginia It isn’t every day that a 19th century factory gets a 34 kilowatt facelift, but that is exactly what Sigora Solar did at its headquarters in Waynesboro, VA. Sigora, a solar energy installer had been installing solar for 10 months when the president, Andy Bindea decided “it’s time we practice what we preach.”

Because of the buildings’ age, the roof was inspected and given an engineering stamp of approval; the standing seam metal roof is original and dates back to the late 1800s. After some paint prep, the install began. Apart from the frigid February gusts, the install went seamlessly.

The system is rated at 34.2kW and comprises six inverters, to mimic six residential systems in the company’s soon to be “show room.”

Sigora, based in Waynesboro, also installs wind turbines and generators. The company caters to homeowners

and small business owners. They understand the energy demands of a small business and how energy costs can be crippling. Sigora aims to show home owners and business owners that buying solar or wind is “similar to buying your electricity in bulk, and locking in today’s price,” Sales Administrator Allen McCown said.

Every 10 years, the price of energy rises 40 percent. Sigora uses this to explain that despite the size of the initial investment (solar starting at $6,000), “any investment that has a payback of seven years isn’t a bad one,” commented McCown.

“Our goal is to make solar affordable, and we have,” Bindea said, he continued “there are a lot of misconceptions about renewable energy and we aim to change that.” Sigora has grown quickly in their 14 months in business; many have attributed this to their sole mission:

energy. “Many solar installers are owned by builders, we are solely a renewable energy installer, which drives our cost down significantly,” commented Shawn Cooke, chief of operations at Sigora. Sigora has worked with a variety of homes and businesses, ranging from a working farm to a printing factory.

Sigora has an impressive installation resume, with 20 projects completed and many more in the works, the company is coming out as a leader in Virginia energy. The company’s premier installation is the YMCA in Waynesboro; the solar

thermal system they installed produces 1.6 million BTUs per day, and saves the Y in excess of $15,000 per year.

The systems Sigora installs carry a 10 year worry-free warrantee and a 30 power output guarantee, effectively meaning the systems will produce power for 30-plus years. Sigora is eager to partner with other businesses and home owners, Sigora commented “we have a unique way to make a business more profitable and increase home value, all for a reasonable cost.”

byy Jon n M.. Casey The farm’s name certainly reflects the attitudes of lifelong dairy farmers Ken, Jim and Gerry.

Many changes have taken place since the three brothers moved their milking herd into the new freestall barn and double-twelve milking parlor on April Fool’s Day, 1999.

“We had been milking 100 cows in a stanchion barn when we made the decision to go ahead with this new facility,” said Jim. “We were also in the hog business at the time, with a farrow-to-finish operation with 100 sows.

We had a hundred cows and a hundred sows. We decided when the hog prices had gotten extremely low and we weren't making a profit in the hog business any longer, that if we were going to stay in farming, it was time to expand the dairy operation,” said Jim. “So we looked around at some of the larger facilities in the area, and we made what we believed to be a giant leap of faith and built the

freestall barn and dairy parlor. When the project was completed and it was time to move the cattle in, we asked ourselves, ‘What have we done? Are we the April Fools?’” In the end, their leap of faith paid off. “We quickly found that after learning a new way to manage the cows, we could be as efficient milking the 450 cows we milk today as we did the 100 we were milking before we moved into the new barn.”

Since then, there have been several additional changes to help make the operation run more smoothly and more profitably. Approximately 18 months ago, they added a second barn for the dry cows and heifers and a second 120-ft by 12-ft manure lagoon to store the additional manure from the new facility.

“The new barn and manure storage gives us much better management for the dry cows and heifers and the new manure storage gives us the flexibility to spread the

the vats, thus powder prices have strengthened. Cheese stocks are adequate but some storage facilities report lower inventories than previous years.

Cash butter closed the How Do You Spell Relief?

Don’t Bother.

It’s Likely Too Late Issued July 27, 2012 Hot weather remains the center of attention across most of the nation with little to no relief in sight and likely too late anyway. Ramifications will be with us for months and maybe years. U.S. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack thus called on House lawmakers to pass the Farm Bill before it adjourns.

Dairy wise, milk supplies and milk composition is falling due to the heat. Dairy Profit Weekly reported that Secretary Vilsack designated 76 additional counties in six states as primary natural disaster areas. Some 1,369 counties across 31 states have been declared disaster areas, 1,234 due to drought, making qualified farm operators in the areas el-

igible for low-interest emergency loans.

Meanwhile; the Cheddar blocks closed the last Friday of July at $1.7050 per pound, down 1 1/4-cents on the week, up 6 1/2-cents on the month, and 45 cents below a year ago. The barrels closed at $1.6850, down a penny on the week and 44 1/2cents below a year ago.

Eight cars of block traded hands on the week and four of barrel. The AMS-surveyed U.S. average block price inched 0.4 cent higher to $1.6488, and the barrels averaged $1.6895, down 0.4 cent.

USDA’s July 20 Dairy Market News reported that the cheese market is “unsettled” as manufacturers and buyers try to anticipate its direction.

Cheese makers are increasingly using nonfat dry milk or condensed skim to fortify milk for

week 8 cents higher, at $1.67, 43 cents below a year ago. Twenty one cars found new homes, 16 on Friday. AMS butter averaged $1.5487, up 1.1 cent.

Butter markets remain

firm. In most regions cream volumes are declining as milk production decreases and butterfat levels fall. Cows are eating less and drinking more, thus not maintaining a positive

dry mater to liquid balance, USDA says.

manure when we need it, not because we have to do it because the lagoon is full,” said Gerry. “About that same time, we installed the solar panel system that you see on top of the freestall barn,” he added. “It will have been in service two years this coming March.”

One benefit of the new freestall barn is the improved comfort level for the cows. “With all the fans running during the summer months, we have very little in the way of fly problems,” explained Jim. “We also use sprin-

klers when it gets hot and the cows really like that.”

Gerry said the recent addition of new UltiMats™ for the 432 stalls that house the milking herd has been a valuable addition to the cow comfort and overall management of the herd. The mats were replaced in April this year.

“We find that the cows enjoy lying down or standing on the mats rather than milling around in the alleyways,” added Ken. “When I come in during the morning to push up the feed and get them

headed to the parlor, I often have to get them up off the mats because they are still quite comfortable just resting there. It wasn’t that way before.”

The brothers had decided that after 13 years, the original mats that had been in the barn had served their purpose and were virtually worn out.

They had done some shopping around and had contacted a few dairy producers in Pennsylvania and New York to see what brand of mats others had chosen when it was time for them to replace theirs.

Arriving at Hope Valley Farms, visitors are met with a scene that reflects the ongoing changes that have taken place at this second-generation dairy farm.

In January this year, Jim visited the Keystone Farm Show in York, PA, with the purpose of stopping in at all of the vendors who were exhibiting cattle

mats for use in freestalls like theirs.

“When I stepped up on the mats at the Zartman Farm exhibit, I could instantly tell a difference,” he said. “After looking at all of the mats that were being shown at the Keystone Farm Show, I knew that these were the mats that we wanted for our barn. We have been very happy with them since they were installed - and so have the cows!”

“We bed with sawdust, shavings and limestone, and these are very smooth and easy to clean,” Jim noted. “We like the way that the cows have become more content. When they are chewing their cud and lying in their stalls, they are making more milk. That is what we like to see.”

Ken, who oversees the fieldwork and calf feeding as his primary responsibilities, said that they would be freshening 100 cows during the months of July and August. That will help to fill the barn and boost herd production, which is now at a

25,400 lb average.

“Its been as high as 26, 117 lbs last year,” added Jim, who oversees the dairy operation and crops.

Gerry, who manages the bookkeeping, finances and mechanical portion of the business, agreed that the next few months would be busy ones. “We couldn’t do all that we do without our families and the others who have worked with us here for many years,” he said. “Mike Appel, who does our feeding, has been with us for 26 years.

Mike Hess, our assistant herdsman has been with us 10 years.”

Jim said his daughter Jody Alvarez and his granddaughter Kayla White and other parttime employees milk the cows while his sons, Sam and Tom, are involved with the farming operation in full-time capacities as well. “Our mother Miriam, who is 86 years old, still takes care of some of the bookkeeping, as does my wife Martha,”

Drought across the grain states are causing producers to reevaluate their feed on hand, crop yields, projected feed input costs, financial resources and herd size that will allow them to stay in business through winter, warns USDA. Lots of cows are going to slaughter because farmers can’t afford to feed them.

Daily Dairy Report (DDR) market analyst Sarina Sharp said in the DDR’s “Daily Dairy Discussion” (a free download at www.dailydairyreport.com) that the June Milk Production report indicated that dairy cow numbers have been declining since April and quite significantly. The July 20 Cattle Inventory report confirmed that, she said, as heifer and milk cow numbers were unchanged from a year ago.

“We have fewer cows than we did earlier this year and production per cow is slowing,” Sharp said. She blamed the heat and the rising cost of production as “Spot corn is over $8 per bushel. New crop is flirting with $8, and nearby soybean meal is well over $500. A lot of dairy producers who grow their feed are concerned they won’t have the production they were counting on and will therefore have to purchase this very expensive feed.”

She warned that grains, protein, and forage will be very hard to come by at a

reasonable price and reported that farmers in the Great Lakes region are mowing their corn under as; “There are no ears or grains on the stalks so they’re simply chopping these stalks into silage and will feed it but this low quality forage can really hurt milk production in the long run and in the short term we’re dealing with the heat so per cow production can really take a hit thanks to this draught.” And, nitrate levels can also be problematic in drought-stressed corn.

Checking supplies; June butter holdings, at 350.8 million pounds, were down 18.9 million pounds or 7 percent from May but were 52.4 million or 28 percent above June 2011, according to the latest Cold Storage report.

American cheese, at 629.9 million pounds, was up 9.9 million or 2 percent from May and 10.8 million or 2 percent above a year ago and the highest June inventory in 10 years, according to the DDR. Total cheese stocks at a little over 1 billion pounds are also up 2 percent from May but unchanged from a year ago.

The Cold Storage data was “bearish to cheese,” according to the DDR’s Sarina Sharp who said the growing cheese stocks are priced out of the global market but added the caveat that most U.S. cheese is produced in the draught plagued Midwest where heat is taking its toll on milk production so that will likely keep floor under

the cheese market.

Butter is a different story, according to Sharp. Butter stocks usually peak in June, she said, but it appears they peaked in May this year. June showed the first month over month decline in stocks since November, according to Sharp, however inventories are still almost 30 percent higher than a year ago.

In dairy politics; the International Dairy Foods Association (IDFA) charged this week that “the Dairy Market Stabilization Program” (DMSP) proposal in the new Farm Bill would have been limiting U.S. milk production since May, if it had been in effect, even as agriculture economists and USDA are warning that the drought throughout the country will reduce milk supply and raise consumer prices.”

“Dairy farmers enrolled in the program would have had their revenue reduced from 2 to 6 percent in May and possibly by 3 to 7 percent in June,” according to an IDFA press release. “As a result of the lost revenue, farmers would be expected to reduce their milk

production, most likely by reducing herd size.”

“Not only will consumers be facing higher prices in the near future, because cows produce less milk during high heat conditions, and the cost of feed will be higher, but this new program would have already dug the hole deeper,” said Connie Tipton, IDFA president and CEO. National Milk shot back stating; “IDFA has mischaracterized the real issue facing dairy farmers this summer.

Summer heat always leads to a slowdown in milk output, this year will be no different, but the USDA reported last week that milk production in the second quarter of 2012 was up 2 percent compared to 2011, while the first quarter was up a whopping 5.3 percent. The U.S. is well on track to produce a record volume of milk this year, a hot summer notwithstanding.”

“As a result, farmers’ prices this June were down 18 percent from June

Delong from A17 said Jim. “She works with QuickBooks on a regular basis. In all, it takes a lot of dedicated family members and employees to keep the dairy, 600 acres of owned land and 100 acres of rented ground (525 acres of cropland), running smoothly. Milk prices are always a challenge and have been, ever since our father M. Clair started farming those long years ago,” said Jim. “We three brothers grew up on the farm, so it was easy for us to make this a career. But it is more

challenging for the next generation. We need to take the time to teach them what they need to know so that they can continue on in the coming years.”

The Delong family is happy to know that there is a future at Hope Valley Farms for all of them in the dairy business. “We are happy to be a part of it,” said Jim. “One thing I would say for certain: We three agree that we would do it all again!”

by Angela Shelf Medearis Go nuts for coconut oil Virgin coconut oil is often called “low-fat fat.”

Although coconut oil is a saturated fat, it’s lower in calories. It also breaks down to become energy and doesn’t get stored in the body like other fats. It has a pleasant, slightly sweet taste and blends well with a variety of foods. Three to five tablespoons of coconut oil a day are recommended for best results.

Coconut oil has a long shelf life and doesn’t have to be kept refrigerated (unless you prefer to use it in a solid state for combining with other ingredients), so buying coconut oil in bulk from online stores like Vitacost.com will save you a lot of money. Because you can use coconut oil in so many ways, buying in bulk also is the easiest way to keep this wonderful product on hand. I not only use it on my hair and skin, it’s also become a kitchen staple.

Here are some suggestions on ways you can easily incorporate coconut oil into your daily diet: • Add 1 to 2 tablespoons of coconut oil to smoothies, protein powders or yogurt; • Add a tablespoon to hot or cold cereal; • Use coconut oil as a sugar or creamer replacement for either tea or coffee that’s cool enough to drink. Stir often to combine the oil with the liquid.

• Coconut oil is a healthy cooking oil, especially for low- to medium-heat cooking and sauteing as it doesn’t break down easily. Add 1 to 3 tablespoons to your pan and cook eggs, vegetables, rice and grain dishes, potatoes, curries, soups, stews and meats.

• Spread some coconut oil on slices of bread, rolls, bagels or crackers.

• Make compound “butters” and flavored spreads

with solid coconut oil. Blend 2 to 3 tablespoons of coconut oil with nut butters, cream cheese or fruit spreads. Also try adding some cinnamon and honey to coconut oil to make a spread.

• Combine liquid coconut oil with herbs and spices to create a healthy dressing for salads.

Baba ghanoush

My version of baba ghanoush has added flavor and health benefits with the addition of coconut oil.

This savory eggplant puree is flavored with tahini, lemon juice and fresh herbs. Eat it with wedges of whole-wheat pita bread for dipping, or spoon it over roasted meats and vegetables.

1 large eggplant (about 1 pound), halved lengthwise 1 1/2 teaspoons sea salt, divided 3 tablespoons sesame tahini 1 to 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped 2 tablespoons nonfat plain Greek yogurt 1/2 cup parsley leaves, chopped, plus more for garnish 1/4 cup lemon juice 2 tablespoons coconut oil, plus 1 tablespoon more for garnish 1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Sprinkle eggplant with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Place eggplant cut-side down on a foil-lined baking sheet. Prick all over with a fork and bake until soft and collapsed, about 20 minutes.

2. When cool enough to handle, scoop eggplant pulp into a bowl and discard skin. Add remaining teaspoon of salt, the tahini, garlic, yogurt, parsley, lemon juice and the coconut oil. Mash for a chunky texture or puree in a blender (before adding parsley) for a smooth texture.

3. Garnish with parsley and drizzle with coconut oil. Serve with warm pita bread or crackers. (c) 2012 King Features Synd., Inc., and Angela Shelf Medearis

This week’s Sudoku Solution

2011, 30 cents a gallon less. Consumers really should be asking if the price they pay at retail for dairy products have dropped by the same amount. The answer is, retail prices haven’t changed, even as the farm price this year has reflected the fact that supply has raced ahead of demand. Meanwhile, grain prices reflect the opposite: that supplies are short in relation to demand.”

“The dairy policy provisions in the Senate and House farm bills are tied to the critical difference between the farmer’s milk price, and the cost of feed. When that mar-

gin contracts to dangerously low levels, those who volunteer to use the proposed program will be insured against these low margins and they are also expected to trim their milk output until margins reach healthy levels,” NMPF said.

“These summer temperatures, and the possibility of a poor crop harvest, are exactly why we need a dairy farm safety net that takes into account higher feed prices, and also gives us a tool to better align supply and demand. Relying on the weather to perform this process is foolish.”

Out west, a California Department of Food and

Agriculture hearing panel found that, based on the testimony provided at the recent hearing, there should be no change in the California 4b milk price formula.

However Agriculture Secretary Karen Ross, concerned about the increasing costs of feed, made the decision to increase prices by modifying the formula in such a way that as of August 1, the Class 4b milk price will be improved by a maximum of 10 cents per hundredweight when the price of dry whey exceeds 60 cents a pound.

The price floor of 25 cents was not changed but each bracket in the

sliding scale will increase an extra 1.25 cents. At the current dry whey value of 49.5 cents per pound the improvement will be 6.25 cents per hundredweight.

The Alliance of Western Milk Producers Bill Van Dam wrote in his newsletter; “The results of this hearing, while disappointing to those with high expectations, should not have been a surprise to anyone. A CDFA hearing is not a political contest, it is not a court of law, nor is it a popular vote of the people. It is an economic exercise in which decisions are based on cold hard economic facts.”

California’s Milk Producers Council’s Rob Vandenheuvel wrote in his newsletter; “Disappointing is a huge understatement” in describing the announcement. Complete details are at the MPC website.

Getting back to high corn prices; the Alliance’s Bill VanDam points out that “There was huge financial suffering as dairy producers adjusted to the first doubling ($2-$4 per bushel) of corn prices.

Now the second doubling has occurred ($4$8) and it looks as if a way has to be found to adjust to $8.00 corn prices.” One source told me double digit corn prices are possible.

“The combined livestock industries were not able to get an adjustment in the ethanol mandates when they attempted to reduce them a few years ago. It made sense then and makes even better sense now that the ethanol mandates be cut from 10 to 5 percent of our US gasoline the amount that is needed to oxygenate the gasoline,” VanDam wrote. “The balance of the U.S. ethanol program cannot be justified.”

“The drought is real and is persistent. On the Market to Market show this morning the analyst opined that if not later this year then next year corn is likely to hit $9.00 a bushel and perhaps

$10.00. At some point demand destruction comes into play as users get priced out of the market. Doesn’t it make better sense to reduce the artificial demand dictated by government decree? Cut it in half,” VanDam concluded.

Corn and soybeans aren’t the only feed prices going up. Dairy Profit Weekly reports that the whole cottonseed dry spell is expected to intensify in 2013, as competing crops threaten to cannibalize even more cotton acres in 2013.

Cotton farmers planted 14 percent fewer cotton acres in 2012, explained Tom Wedegaertner, director of agricultural research, Cotton Incorporated. “While a more ‘normal’ summer could produce more harvestable acres of cotton, and more cottonseed, we anticipate the amount of whole cottonseed available for dairies will remain flat compared to 2011.” If USDA’s June 29 forecast of 17 million bales holds true, the crop could produce 5.7 million tons of cottonseed, of which 3 million tons would be available for feeding.

By the way, Cotton Incorporated now offers a Cottonseed Marketplace publication for farmers to receive periodic updates. Sign up for the “Whole Cottonseed Enewsletter at www. wholecottonseed.com.

Pasto Museum features hay press demonstrations at Ag Progress Days UNIVERSITY PARK, PA — The Pasto Agricultural Museum will feature the history of hay making during Penn State’s Ag Progress Days, Aug. 1416, highlighted by demonstrations of a rare, antique hay press.

The Panama O.K. horse-powered, stationary hay press was manufactured in 1905 in Kansas City and was one of the early success stories of a machine for compressing hay, according to Rita Graef, museum curator. In 1998, Robert Cowen, of Julian, and his family donated the O.K. baler to the Pasto Museum, where it was completely restored and returned to operating condition.

“At full capacity, it required two horses, two mules or two oxen for power and at least four men to operate,” she said. “It was said that 20 tons of hay could be baled in a day with wiretied bales weighing 80 to 120 pounds each.”

The O.K. hay press has been demonstrated at several previous Ag Progress Days and has proven to be a popular attraction, Graef noted. This year, weather permitting, five demonstrations will be conducted during the show: at 1:30 p.m. Tuesday, and at 10 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. on Wednesday and Thursday.

“This year, for the first time, a team of young oxen owned by past mu-

National Grange urges EPA’s cooperation with livestock producers WASHINGTON, D.C. — The National Grange urged the Environmental Protection Agency to cooperate with a group of livestock producers who filed a petition July 30 with the EPA requesting a one-year waiver from the agency’s renewable fuel standard (RFS) rule.

The rule requires that 15 billion gallons of domestically produced ethanol be incorporated into the United States’ gasoline supply by 2022.

In 2012, roughly 40 percent of all domestic corn production is dedicated to ethanol production.

Livestock producers asked the EPA, which retains the authority to waive the RFS rule should they deem that it is causing severe environmental or economic damage, to lift the rule in light of the nationwide drought that has devastated thousands of farms and ranchers.

“Our nation’s farmers are proud to be part of the movement against the dependence on for-

eign energy, however, that movement has to be tempered against the American public’s ability to obtain affordable and safe meat products, corn and corn-derived foods,” National Grange President Ed Luttrell said July 31. “In a year such as this where drought conditions are the worst they have been in more than 50 years or longer in some areas, the EPA must be flexible.”

The group petitioning the EPA, which includes the National Cattleman’s Beef Association, National Chicken Council, National Pork Producers Council, and the National Turkey Federation, said the rule, together with the drought, is going to make it increasingly more difficult for farmers and ranchers to feed livestock this year.

They have also forewarned that the spike in corn prices will continue to drive up the prices of beef, poultry and pork, especially if producers cannot find relief elsewhere.

seum curator Darwin Braund will supply the power for the O.K. hay press,” she said.

In addition to the haymaking exhibit and haybaling demonstrations, the Pasto Museum will offer a split-wood, basket-making demonstration and will hold its silent auction during Ag Progress Days.

The recently enlarged and renovated Pasto

Agricultural Museum will provide visitors with a glimpse into farming’s past. With exhibits highlighting the history of agriculture and rural life, the 8,400-squarefoot facility showcases an intriguing collection of artifacts.

Located on East 10th Street near the top of Main Street on the Ag Progress Days site, the Pasto Museum provides

a comprehensive view of the era when energy for work was supplied by the power of humans and domesticated animals.

The approximately 1,300 items in the collection are concentrated in the time period between 1775 and 1940, although the assemblage of objects spans 6,000 years, or from 4,000 B.C. to the 1940s.

“Our emphasis is to

provide visibility for technological developments in agriculture between 1775 and 1940,” Graef said. “The mission of the Pasto Agricultural Museum is to provide the public with an understanding and appreciation for early agriculture and rural life, especially in Pennsylvania and the northeastern United States.”

Summarized by Linda M. Fetzer, Pennsylvania State University In areas where rural and urban settings come together, motorists are more likely to encounter agricultural equipment and vehicles on public roads. In 2007, the North Central Education/Extension Research Activity (NCERA) 197 committee identified the operation of agricultural equipment on public roads as an agricultural safety and health priority area in need of further research and awareness.

The committee reviewed research and engineering standards and identified extension and outreach and policy priorities related to the operation of agricultural equipment on public roads. The lists below

outline the committee’s major recommendations in these areas.

Research and development • To improve understanding of the characteristics of crashes between motor vehicles and agricultural machines or equipment, reporting and investigative agencies should develop and use standardized reporting terminology.

• Researchers should prioritize the determination of best practices for lighting and marking agricultural equipment and vehicles (such as the use of slow moving vehicle [SMV] emblems on animal-drawn buggies).

• As use of high-speed tractors, self-propelled machines, and towed equipment increases, engineers must improve

and adapt braking and steering systems, tires, and rollover protective structures (ROPS) for high-speed machinery and equipment.

• Researchers, officials, and agricultural safety and health leaders and experts should examine driver education curricula, which are not standardized nationally, to evaluate the level of instruction students receive about sharing roadways with agricultural equipment.

• Researchers should examine the effectiveness of graduated licensing for youth operating agricultural equipment on public roadways.

Engineering standards • Organizations and entities that formulate engineering design standards should base standards

more directly on research findings.

Engineers should collaborate with researchers and end users when developing and designing agricultural equipment.

• When designing machinery and equipment, engineers should apply standards that require automatic and passive protection for drivers and riders operating agricultural equipment on public roads.

• Designers and manufacturers should continually consider ways in which new technologies can be incorporated in the design standards and applications of agricultural equipment.

Safety programs • Safety programs must balance the educational effort by educating both agricultural workers and the general public about: - best practices for operating farm equipment on roadways, - the purpose and usage of SMV and speed indicator symbol (SIS) emblems, and - the ways exclusions and exemptions of agricultural equipment from traffic regulations impact the interaction of vehicles and agricultural equipment on roadways.

• Safety programs should work with local and state law-enforcement agencies to increase officers’ awareness of

laws related to farm equipment.

• Safety program personnel should work with manufacturers of Amish buggies to encourage the use of marking and lighting systems that meet current standards developed by the American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers (ASABE), the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE), and the Department of Transportation (DOT).

Policy • State policies should promote the comprehensive explanation of SMV and SIS emblems in driver’s manuals and as part of driver education programs.

• A more comprehensive Uniform Vehicle Code (UVC) should be developed and adopted both nationally and at state levels. The new code should address modern types of agricultural equipment and the use of such equipment on roadways. Details of the code

should include: - required registration of farm equipment for roadway use, - necessary qualifications and training for operators of agricultural equipment, and - regulations regarding the use of animal-drawn buggies, wagons, and equipment.

• Policies should ensure consistent funding for research into the hazards of operating agricultural equipment on roadways and the best safety practices for the operation of farm equipment on public roads.

• State and local governments should establish land-use policies to manage the interactions between farming and nonfarming vehicles on public roads.

• Policies should encourage stricter enforcement by local and state police of proper SMV emblem usage.

N.C. State Fair announces release of 2012 Premium Book RALEIGH, NC — Young or old, there is a competition for everyone at the N.C. State Fair.

Each year, North Carolinians submit more than 32,000 entries into contests in nearly 50 categories, including everything from horticulture and Web design to culinary arts and livestock. This year, more than $600,000 in prizes will be awarded along with thousands of ribbons and plenty of bragging rights.

The 2012 State Fair Premium Book is now available online at www.ncstatefair.org, and hard copies are available at the Administration Building at the N.C. State Fairgrounds at 1025 Blue Ridge Road in Raleigh.

You can also request a mailed copy by contacting the entry department at 919-733-2145.

The Premium Book is an important tool for contestants. It includes contest rules, deadlines and judging criteria, as well as other valuable information. For the first time, it has been split into two separate

books — one for general entries and the other for livestock.

“Traditionally, premiums, or cash prizes, were offered at the N.C. State Fair as an incentive to encourage agricultural advances,” said Agriculture Commissioner Steve Troxler. “Over time, more and more categories were added, giving us the diverse offering of competitions we are familiar with today.”

Two additional competitions have been added this year. Those are a beer brewing competition, as well as a daily cookie decorating contest for kids. The beer competition will feature 16 varieties of home-brewed and commercially produced beers. The Kids Kookie Dekorating Kontest will be held Oct. 1720 at 4 p.m. Each afternoon, kids of a different age group will be allowed to decorate cookies for cash prizes and ribbons.

Entry forms and online registration will be available on Aug. 1. Check the 2012 Premium Book for the deadlines of each individual competition.

The Nebraska Tractor Test Laboratory (NTTL) at the University of Nebraska is the official tractor testing station for the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) in the United States. This independent laboratory is responsible for testing a representative tractor of each model sold in the state of Nebraska. It also tests tractors manufactured in the United States and sold in international markets. The laboratory publishes the results of all tests conducted.

The test reports published by NTTL can be extremely useful in the selection of tractors or for comparing the performance of different makes and models of tractors.

For example, when a farmer is in the market for a tractor, the performance data in the test reports can be used to select a tractor that will meet his/her needs.

Farmers who are more informed about the performance characteristics of tractors already owned

will be able to operate in the most efficient range and select equipment sizes that complement and optimize their tractor's capabilities. These reports can also serve as an effective tool for making tractor sales. Dealership personnel can use the performance data to compare their products to those of competitors.

For either application, familiarity with the content of the test reports and the know-how to use the information effectively are essential.

Tractor tests The purpose of the tests is to collect data that can be used to assess the performance of tractors of different makes and models. For this reason, all tests are conducted under the same or similar test conditions and procedures.

Tractor tests are generally conducted to assess the PTO performance, drawbar performance, hydraulic lift capacity, and hydraulic system pressure and flow. In addition, sound level meas-

urements are also taken at operator and bystander locations.

PTO performance tests are conducted with a dynamometer attached to the tractor PTO. The purpose of the dynamometer is to apply varying loads through the PTO and to measure the power generated by the tractor.

These tests are conducted at ambient temperature of 75°F and a barometer reading above 28.5 inches of mercury. During tests, when the tractor performance has stabilized, the data are recorded at predetermined intervals.

The load applied by the dynamometer follows the operating curve of the engine at full throttle. Data collected include torque, rpm, power, and fuel consumption. A series of PTO tests are conducted for these parameters: • at rated engine speed, • at standard PTO speed (either 1,000 or 540 rpm), • at the engine speed where maximum power is produced,

• at varying loads, and • at maximum torque.

Drawbar performance tests are conducted in all gears between one gear below the one which provided maximum drawbar force (without exceeding a wheel slip of 15%) and a maximum speed of 10 miles per hour. In each gear, at full throttle, the load is increased until maximum drawbar power is achieved.

Engine speed, wheel slip, and fuel consumption data are recorded when test conditions are stabilized.

Drawbar tests are also conducted with partial loads at 75 percent and 50 percent of the maximum drawbar load (at rated engine speed).

These partial load tests are also conducted at reduced engine speeds (selected by the manufacturer).

Hydraulic lift capacity and flow tests are conducted to determine the maximum lift capacity of the hydraulic system through the full lift range.

The lift capacity in the report is 90 percent of the

maximum load carried through the full lift range.

Additional tests are also conducted to determine the pressure-flow relationship of the hydraulic system for supplying power to external actuators (such as motors or cylinders). Reports include data on delivery rate, pressure, and available power.

Sound level measurements during performance tests are taken at the operator and bystander locations. At the bystander location, the readings are taken by locating the microphone 25 feet from the center line of the tractor. Sound levels are recorded using “A” scale in the sound level meter and is expressed in terms of dB(A). The “A” scale is a filter that responds like a human ear.

Using the test reports for tractor selection Many factors are considered in the selection and purchase of a new tractor, including types of jobs to be performed, price, proximity and reputation of the dealership, desired power output at the drawbar and PTO, hydraulic system capacity, and fuel efficiency. The tractor test reports can play an important role in the decision-making process. Both summary booklets and summary reports on individual tractors are useful in selecting tractor models or for evaluating and comparing performance of different tractor models.

Steps in selecting a tractor • The first step in the tractor selection process is to evaluate the need that exists. Depending on the needs identified, the purchaser should estimate the power requirements at the PTO and drawbar.

• After estimating the power requirements, identify tractor models that are capable of providing the required output power. This list may include tractors from different manufacturers if more than one dealership

is available nearby.

• Compare the performance data of the tractor models identified. It may help to prepare a table that includes performance variables plus any other variables that are pertinent to the selection process. The number of additional columns will depend on the number of tractor models identified during initial screening.

The data for each column can be extracted from the test reports. The tractor information available in the summary reports may be used for the final selection. Consider such factors as: • stability, • tire size, • tractor configuration (2WD, FWA, 4WD), • repair frequency, • proximity and reputation of dealership, and • price.

Summary Reports for tractors tested since 1999 can be found, for no charge, at: http://tractortestlab.unl.edu/testreports.htm While the NTTL data provided can help farmers select which tractor their operation needs, it can also be used to evaluate many energy decisions confronting farmers. For example, how much more can a farmer afford to pay for a more fuel-efficent tractor? Producers can calculate the operating and ownership costs of the tractor model they are considering to answer this question and then compare those costs with their present equipment. A spreadsheet tool prepared by University of Minnesota economist, Bill Lazarus called Machinery Cost Calulator is useful for this analysis (http://faculty.apec.umn .edu/wlazarus/tools.htm l). Rather than use default values provided, NTTL data for the specific tractor model under consideration can be substituted to provide more accurate information for farmers.

Dairy Energy, Van Der Hyde Dairy: Virginia’s methane digester pioneers

by Karl H. Kazaks Chatham, VA — “The systems are very good systems,” Roy Van Der

Hyde said, referring to the anaerobic digester and methane-burning power generator on his

family’s 3x Holstein dairy operation. The challenge for him has been building a good

working relationship with his local utility and making the mini-power plant on his farm finan-

One of the dairy’s 25 employees works on the WestfaliaSurge 36-stall autorotor carousel parlor.

cially sustainable.

The digester, designed

by DVO Anaerobic Digesters, of Wisconsin (formerly GHD), is 160 feet long by 74 feet wide and 16 feet deep. It holds 1 million gallons of liquid manure and is the first (and as of yet only) anaerobic digester on a Virginia dairy farm. The Van Der Hydes operate the digester as an independent business, Dairy Energy, alongside their Van Der Hyde Dairy business.

The digester was filled on December 26, 2010, with manure that was 45 degrees. (The Van Der Hydes had brought their heifers back to the farm from a heifer grower to help fill the digester.) To get it to proper operating temperature of 100 degrees, Dairy Energy had to heat the manure with a boiler, which is connected to heating coils inside the digester. “In nine days we burnt through 5,500 gallons of diesel fuel,” said Van Der Hyde.

Within 15 days, the digester was producing methane clean enough to burn. “At that point, we switched the boiler to burn methane and it be-

came a self-sustaining system,” said Van Der Hyde. (The system remains self-sustaining now, but in a different fashion. Now that the generator is on, excess heat is captured from the generator’s exhaust and sent when needed via a heat exchanger to the boiler.)

By January of last year the dairy was ready to turn on its 1,100 hp generator and produce power. The digester had begun construction a year earlier, had been planned for numerous years, and had been the recipient of much fanfare, as well as a number of grants — yet the utility Dominion was not ready to accept the energy Dairy Energy wanted to produce.

“We flared gas from January to August,” Van Der Hyde said.

The flare burns at 1,900 degrees, and at night is visible as a column three feet in diameter and thirty feet high — a visible sign of usable energy going uncaptured.

Part of the delay oc-

Van Der Hyde from B1 ate over 300,000 kW per month. What other kind of renewable energy process has those kinds of returns?”

The Van Der Hydes have long been early adapters of new technology. The farm, founded when Garry and Kathleen moved to Virginia in the late 1970’s (from Orange County, NY), currently includes Garry and Kathleen and sons Roy, Larry, and Kyle.

In 2003, the dairy installed a WestfaliaSurge 36-stall autorotor

carousel parlor system.

It was built for 600 milk cows, but three days before Christmas that year a neighboring dairyman called asking for help.

His dairy had burnt down. His 240 cows needed milking. Could the Van Der Hydes help?

They did, taking their replacements to their neighbor to raise while they took on his milking string.

“We milked 28 straight hours that Christmas,” Van Der Hyde said. “We had to train the new cows.” That brought the

herd up to 900 cows. Today the dairy milks 1,050 cows, making it the third-largest in the commonwealth. It has about 25 employees.

The dairy barns are cable scraped, and a flush system is used for the holding pen near the parlor. Three times a day the manure from the buildings is flumeflushed through 24-inch pipes to a reception bit between the barns and the digester (the socalled green pit).

There is also a pit ad-

jacent to the green pit where Dairy Energy can accept, thanks to a permit from Virginia’s Department of Environmental Quality, other organic matter (like waste from food processors) to run through the digester.

“I can take material from waste handlers, run it through here and make energy and fertilizer instead of it going to the landfill,” Van Der Hyde said. What’s more, “with the right ingredient

This 1,100 hp beast, to the left of Roy Van Der Hyde, is what takes methane produced in the digester and currently makes 300,000 Kw per month. The output could be enhanced with the introduction of other organic waste, which would boost the digestion process.

curred because Dominion insisted that Dairy Energy install three reclosers, at great cost, in between their generator and the local substation.

The reclosers are faultsensing switches that shut off the dairy’s generator when a fault is sensed on the line (thus not endangering any lineman who might be working on the line at the time).

For as much as politicians had promoted the digester as a step towards building green energy in Virginia, Dominion seemed unconcerned with building ties with the Van Der Hydes or ex-

pediting the process of bringing Dairy Energy’s generator onto the electrical grid. Instead, they imposed hidden (but legal) engineering and labor fees. At one point Dairy Energy even looked into selling its power to another utility, only to find it wouldn’t be permitted.

Yet, the digester is a remarkably efficient source of energy. Since the generator has gone on line last August, Dairy Energy has produced over 1.9 million kW. “This is renewable energy,” Van Der Hyde said. “It takes me 30,000 kW per month to gener-

New building, familiar topics at Ag Progress Days crops and soils area Native grass plots will be on display at the Crops and Soils Area this year at Ag Progress Days.

UNIVERSITY PARK, PA — Ag Progress Days visitors looking for the Crops and Soils Tent this year will not be able to find it — instead, they will find a Crops, Soils and Conservation Building.

The new J.D. Harrington Building, named for the late Joseph D. Harrington, professor emeritus of agronomy and former Ag Progress Days manager, will serve as home to several exhibits and activities highlighting conservation and crops management.

The structure will be dedicated at 2 p.m. on Aug. 14.

Molly McDonough, public affairs specialist for the Pennsylvania office of USDA’s Natural Resources Conservation Service and one of the building coordinators, said that the Crops, Soils, and Conservation Building includes a wide variety of topics — from crops and animals to forest management — for visitors of any age.

“Conservation is important in enhancing the environment for all of us, for now and for future generations,” she said. “Conservation has many benefits, from improving water and air quality to helping farmers produce more food.”

The building will house exhibits staffed by organizations related to soil

and crop management, as well as aspects of conservation such as forestry, water quality in the Chesapeake Bay and wildlife.

Sjoerd Duiker, associate professor of soil management and applied soil physics, said there will be several attractions in the area, including the “no-till corral” showcasing equipment used in no-till agriculture, a butterfly garden, live animals, plots of warmseason grasses, and demonstrations of cover crops and forages.

“We’re starting to consider cover crops more for their potential use in forage production,” he said.

An interseeder developed by Penn State will demonstrate one method used to plant cover crops. Duiker explained that an interseeder can plant cover crops in fields where established crops already are growing. A planter with a roller-crimper built into it, manufactured by innovator Charles Martin, also will be featured.

“This is an innovation in agricultural machinery,” Duiker said. “Both pieces of equipment help integrate cover cropping into our cropping systems. It is good for soil quality and soil conservation.”

Information on composting, biofuels, watering systems, plants that attract pollinators and deer-management strategies also will be available.

The corn maze also will return to the Crops, Soils, and Conservation area.

Hay producers can bring hay samples to be evaluated during the Hay Show. These samples must have been grown in Pennsylvania in 2012 by the exhibitor. Entries officially close at 10 a.m. on Aug. 14, but exhibitors are encouraged to bring their samples in on Aug. 13 before the show begins.

More information can be found online at http://agsci.psu.edu/apd/pdfs/hayshow-brochure/view.

McDonough said that crop and conservation topics also will be featured in other areas of the Ag Progress Days site. Tours focused on managing deer and other wildlife as part of a Quality Deer Management system will leave daily at 11 a.m. and 1 p.m., with an additional tour at 3 p.m. on Wednesday.

A tour on water quality and Riparian buffers will leave daily at 11:30 a.m.

All tours will leave from the corn crib at the top of Main Street.

Duiker said more hay topics can be found at the Pasto Agricultural Museum, where a hay press operated by oxen will be demonstrated. Duiker also is showing how to mow grass with scythes and how to make hay bales with a manual hay baler.

“We take this technology to Kenya for street children who are now using it to make hay bales,” Duiker said. “This gives them the opportunity to make a local income.”

He added that while the machinery

may not be used in the United States, the demonstration still makes a link to the present.

“Some of that technology can be relevant in other parts of the world,” he continued. “That’s why it’s still very valuable to the show. It’s an everyday demonstration.”

The Crops, Soils, and Conservation Building is located at Harrington Lane and the end of East 5th Street.

Sponsored by Penn State’s College of Agricultural Sciences, Ag Progress Days is held at the Russell E. Larson Agricultural Research Center at Rock Springs, nine miles southwest of State College on Route 45. Hours are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Aug. 14; 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Aug. 15; and 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Aug. 16. Admission and parking are free.

lion,” said Van Der Hyde.

What’s more, because the microbes that work on digesting, the manure evolve as the digesting process matures, some of the microbes near the output of digester are pumped to near where the new waste enters, thus enhancing the digesting process.

When the manure leaves the digester, it goes through a screw press where the liquids and solids separate.

The liquids go to one of a number of lagoons, while the solids are conveyed to a storage building where they dry and get put to use as bedding. The barns are rebedded once a week.

“The pathogen level in the solids is very low because they come from an anaerobic environment,” Van Der Hyde said. The solids themselves are very lightweight. Eventually, Van Der Hyde would like to compost the solids and sell them as compost.

With the new bedding source, no longer does the dairy buy three tractor trailer loads of sawdust each week.

“It’s really amazing how removing that amount can reduce your waste stream,” Van Der Hyde said. Likewise, he likes uses cable scrapers rather than a flush system in his barns because it means the feedstock he has for the digester is more concentrated, not as diluted as it would be with a flush system.

Because the phosphorus in the manure remains mainly in the solids, by bedding with the solids, Van Der Hyde can keep phosphorus contained in his barns rather than apply it to his crop fields. “That really helps with our nutrient management plans,” Van Der Hyde said.

Liquid waste from the digester goes to one of a number of lagoons. There are two large lagoons — one 3 million gallons, the other 4 million gallons — which are set up for drag line irrigation. There is another, one-million gallon lagoon closer to the barn, which is used as a gray water source.

When it is full, the liquid manure is pumped and hauled.

“It used to take us 30 hours to pump that lagoon,” Van Der Hyde said. “Not it takes 20 hours, just because it pumps so much easier,” because there is so much less solid matter now the solids are separated.

Gas from the digester is used to fuel a large engine from Pennsylvania’s Martin Machinery. “They can tune this engine over the Internet,” Van Der Hyde said.

As impressive as the engine is, it is only 35 percent efficient. The other 65 percent is lost as heat. Van Der Hyde has thought about other ways to take advantage of the heat — perhaps using it to compost the manure solids, or using it to dry grain or possibly cure tobacco.

Compared to other states, Virginia does not have a regulatory environment that particularly promotes native green energy projects like Dairy Energy’s.

Green energy sources do not have a guaranteed minimum price as in other states — instead, they must compete on the wholesale electricity market.

When the Van Der Hydes were planning their digester, the wholesale price of electricity was between 7 and 9 cents per kW. Since then, prices have dropped significantly, thanks largely to

the growth of natural gas production.

Currently, the Van Der Hydes are paid 3.8 cents per kW they produce.

“If we were in North Carolina we would be getting 12.5 cents per kW,” Van Der Hyde said, thanks to North Carolina’s renewable energy programs.

Other states — including Vermont and Pennsylvania — have programs that effectively set price floors for power produced by digester operators and other alternative energy producers.

However, Van Der Hyde does not necessarily suggest that Virginia adopt a renewable energy credit program.

“I just want them to play fair,” he said, referring to the utilities.

If the wholesale price of power has dropped in half in just a few years, he asked, then why hasn’t his power bill seen a reduction in its monthly charges because of the cheaper cost of power?

Virginia does have a voluntary program that allows consumers to pay more for green energy — yet the Van Der Hydes (and other alternative energy producers) get only one-sixth of the surcharge consumers choose to pay.

“It’s the same thing as farming,” Van Der Hyde said. “The person doing the producing is the last one getting paid.”

Still, the Van Der Hydes are committed to their digester and being creative about how to make it work financially.

They might not be getting renewable energy credits for the green energy they produce, but they are selling carbon credits for the methane, which is now being trapped and burned rather than released into the air.

from B2

we could double our energy production on 500 gallons per day.”

So far, Dairy Energy has accepted some waste but hasn’t yet built a steady supply stream.

The Van Der Hydes use programmable logic controls (PLC) throughout their farm, including with the many pumps Dairy Energy uses. “Using PLC technology instead of floats,” Van Der Hyde said “we can reprogram the controls with a laptop from the office.”

They also just variable speed motors to minimize their power usage.

The digester, which is set in ground with an insulated cap, calls for about 25,000 gallons of fresh waste each day.

It is supplied from the green pit (and the pit for outside waste, when outside waste is on hand).

The Van Der Hydes do regularly find foreign material (like a MooMonitor) in the green pit and the pump connected to it. In fact, Van Der Hyde said, they call the green pit’s pump “the Cracker Jack box — because when you open it, you never know what you’re going to find.”

A concrete wall bisects most of the length of the digester, to permit for extended retention time. Manure travels around the wall in a Ushaped circuit from the inflow point to the outflow point.

A small bit of oxygen is introduced into the digester to grow bacteria, which will eat hydrogen sulfide and hence reduce the sulphur content of the methane produced and captured in the digester.

“It takes the hydrogen sulfide percentage down from 1,000 parts per million to less than 100 parts per mil-

As worsening drought conditions continue to envelop more than half of the United States, the American Soybean Association (ASA) is pointing to the Farm Bill currently stalled and awaiting debate by the full House of

Representatives as an essential means of ensuring the continued coverage of American farmland through crop insurance and risk management, as well as disaster assistance programs.

“As conditions deterio-

rate throughout much of rural America and the outlook for farmers becomes bleaker and bleaker, we are reminded that farming is subject to so many elements and risks outside of the farmer’s control. This

further emphasizes the need for programs to help farmers manage risks in order to stay viable and plant next year,” said ASA President Steve Wellman, a soybean farmer from Syracuse, NE.

Currently, 85 percent of soybean acres in the United States are covered by crop insurance, however Wellman says that it should not be misconstrued as a profit center for farmers. “Just as when homeowners in-

surance replaces valuables following a flood or a fire, crop insurance only covers farmers in the event of a significant loss,” he said. “These policies often have deductibles or loss levels at 25 percent or more. They aren’t there to turn a profit; they exist to help farmers survive and keep farming.”

Wellman added that the current conditions point directly to the benefits provided by revenue-based risk management programs. “Revenue-based risk management tools that complement crop insurance ensure that farmers who suffer a crop loss — and accompanying revenue loss — receive the assistance they need to remain viable,” he said. “In contrast, a target pricebased program would provide no assistance to farmers affected by the drought since it would activate only if prices are low and then only on actual production.”

“For these reasons and countless others,” Wellman said, “ASA calls on Speaker Boehner and House leadership to schedule floor time to consider and pass a farm bill so that it can be conferenced with the Senate and a new farm bill can be enacted this year.”

Additionally, Wellman, who is also a cow-calf producer, noted the importance of the bill’s disaster assistance provisions to American livestock producers, who are tied closely to soybean farmers. “Our colleagues in the livestock industry, who depend on soybeans as a steady source of protein-rich feed, are facing an extremely difficult challenge,” he said.

“The disaster assistance provisions in the farm bill will provide these key soy allies with the disaster assistance they need this year.”

“The policies that the House and Senate Agriculture Committees worked to include in the farm bill will help farmers deal with the drought, the heat and the galaxy of other real-world risks that agriculture faces,” added Wellman. “It is imperative that the House acts immediately on the farm bill so that these programs can continue to benefit American agriculture.”

The top-performing bucks from the Western Maryland Pasture-Based Meat Goat Performance Test will be offered for sale (via auction) at 1 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 15. The sale will be held at the University of Maryland’s Western Maryland Research & Education Center in Keedysville, MD. Only bucks meeting Gold, Silver, and Bronze standards of performance for growth, parasite resistance (fecal egg counts), and parasite resilience (FAMACHA scores) will be eligible to sell. The bucks will also have been evaluated for reproductive soundness

and structural correctness and have ultrasound carcass data.

You can follow the progress of this year’s buck test (and pick out a buck to buy), by visiting the blog at http://mdgoattest.blogspot.com. For additional information about the test and sale, contact Susan Schoenian at 301-432-2767, Ext. 343, or sschoen@umd.edu.

Ninety-percent of the bucks in this year’s test are Kiko or Kiko-influenced.

This is the seventh year of the only pasture-based small ruminant performance test in North America.

Trade show booths available at National Angus Conference Vendors are welcome to “Come Home to Kansas” during the 2012 National Angus Conference and Tour (NAC&T).

The event, hosted by the American Angus Association®, includes a trade show Oct. 2-3 at the Doubletree Hotel–Airport in Wichita, KS. “This is a great opportunity to meet and introduce your service or product to approximately 500 Angus breeders, cattlemen and industry professionals,” said Anne Lampe, secretary/manager of the Kansas Angus Association.

Booths available for purchase will be open during the registration, welcome reception and conference portions of

the event. Each booth includes an eight-foot skirted table, two chairs, electricity and wireless Internet access.

The $350 booth space fee also covers the cost of one event registration.

“The beef industry will gather this year in Kansas, providing an easy way for your company to gain national exposure and connect with potential clients and customers,” said Sheila Stannard, Association director of activities and events.

For more information about the NAC&T, visit www.nationalangusconference.com.

Our Drill: shaped slot 1-5/8” wide prunes competing roots. Creates soil tilth, increasing access to soil nutrients. Retains 8x more moisture and 3x more oxygen than other planting systems. Clean, smear-free, cocoon-shaped, ideal mini-seedbed, yields consistent, uniform stands.

Their Drill: The V-slot made by disc drill has frequent poor emergence due to residue pressed into V-slot with the seed, and sidewall compaction. Poor depth control=over 50% of small seeds buried too deep or on top of the ground. Performance is speed-sentive.
