Berks County sisters learn work-life balance, dedication and family key to pursuing careers in dairy industry With credit to family, friends and fellow producers, two teenage sisters are seizing opportunities, making sacrifices and preparing for lives in the dairy industry. Jaylene and Laura Lesher of Bernville, Berks County, were born into the dairy industry, but more importantly, are planning to stick with it.

“We’re lucky to have a dairy farmer for a dad and a dairy advocate for a mother,” said Jaylene, referring to parents William and Lolly Lesher of WayHar Farms. Growing up on the family farm has shaped their values and given them work ethics that emphasize helping each other while pursuing their own passions.

The sisters have always been part of the farm and its nearby roadside country store. When not working on the farm, Laura can usually be found helping customers, while Jaylene helps with processing milk and ice cream. Their passions complement each other, as each specializes in different parts of the family operation.

Jaylene tends to the replacement heifers and calves and assists with field work, while Laura works with the milk cows. At shows, Laura is usually on the halter, as well as feeding and bagging cows, while Jaylene works behind the scenes, washing and fitting. Although they have separate duties, they aren’t afraid to question each other.

“We push to improve each other,” said Jaylene. “I’m always asking Laura, ‘What do you think about doing this?’”

“Criticism always makes you better,” added Laura. “We get over our problems and move on. Tomorrow is a new day.” Whether on the farm or in the show ring, these qualities serve the family well.

Balancing Work and School Balancing school and the farm has always been a challenge. The girls were involved in school sports, but as they became more involved in the farm, the time crunch meant something had to give.

“You’ve got to pick what you love and pursue it,” explained Laura. “We enjoyed school activities, but we’ve been focused on 4-H and on dairy. It’s our future.”

So the sisters have used their 4-H experiences to enhance their dairy knowledge outside the classroom.

Jaylene used it abroad, when she traveled to Scotland for the Young Farmers’ Judging Competition in Edinburgh. Laura will travel to the World Dairy Expo in Madison, WI, next week with her 4-H dairy judging team.

Laura, 16, is a junior at Hamburg High School, while Jaylene, 18, is currently attending Penn State Berks, majoring in Animal Science with an Ag Business Management minor. She will move to the University Park campus next year, where she can take classes that focus on dairying. Laura plans to attend college before returning to the dairy industry.

“I can’t picture leaving agriculture or

the dairy industry,” said Jaylene. “As long as I can stay in it, I’ll be happy.”

Neither dismisses the possibility of coming back to the family operation.

At Home Way-Har Farms spans approximately 250 acres, and the family milks about 100 Ayrshire, Brown Swiss, Holstein, Jersey and Milking Shorthorn cows through a double six parlor. William, Jaylene, Laura and four part-time employees tend to milking duties every 9.5 hours instead of the typical two to three times a day.

The unusual schedule began after the 2009 Farm Show, as milk prices started to drop. The family looked for ways to increase milk production, and the 9.5 hour schedule was the solution.

The sisters agree that while the schedule can get confusing during shows like All-American, it is a help with school and other conflicts.

The Lesher’s breeding and genetics program emphasizes production, type and longevity. These three top traits are important to help their cows reach the parlor, feed bunk, and pastures.

They graze their cows during the spring and fall to help reduce feed costs and manure management.

“It gets cows out and moving in the sunshine, eating fresh grass, and it works for us,” said Laura. “I like to see cows out on pasture.”

Pregnant heifers are also put on pasture, with only trees to provide shelter.

“It toughens them up and strengthens their legs,” explained Laura.

The herd is slowly expanding, the result of constant improvements, including a recently-completed trench silo. Laura’s next dream is for an improved, expanded freestall barn.

Several of Laura’s other dreams have been fulfilled, including the purchase of a pickup truck in anticipation of her driver’s license, bought with proceeds from her animals, and a wish to learn how to breed cattle. So for her 15th birthday, Laura was sent to artificial

On the Road Through shrewd saving, judicious spending and careful breeding, the sisters are building a group of high-quality show cattle that compete successfully on the national stage. Laura’s Holstein heifer Heart & Soul Dundee Rhythm-ET placed first in her class at the Premier National Junior Events at the 2012 All-American Dairy Show in Harrisburg.

Jaylene is proud of the Jersey cow family that she has been cultivating for 13 years. Her favorite experience on the tanbark trail was the fulfillment of a lifelong dream — exhibiting her best bred and owned calf, Way-Har Tequila Thumbelina, at the All American Jersey Show in Louisville, KY. Showing keeps the sisters busy. The family attends three fairs — Kempton Country, Reading and Kutztown — as well as the Southeast Holstein Championship, the PA Holstein Spring

and the All-American shows. The sisters also assist other breeders at the Lebanon and Schuylkill County Fairs,

and Laura helps at the Maryland State Fair.

The sisters are quick to credit those breeders and others they help — Heart and Soul Holsteins, Savage-Leigh Holsteins, Waverly Jerseys and Weaver Show Cattle, to name a few — as well as Sandy McCauley at the Pennsylvania Holstein Association.

“We’re so thankful for the opportunities they provide,” said Laura. “We have a great time working with them.”

The Rest of the Crew Jaylene and Laura are just half of the Lesher siblings. Josh, 20, specializes in the farm’s crop and mechanical work. Olivia, 10, helps with calves and feeding.

While in high school Josh began a custom harvesting business, and at 17, secured a bank loan to purchase a combine. He was featured in Forbes magazine as one of 16 of the best young entrepreneurs in the United States. He serves as the sisters’ livestock hauler and helps William with the farm’s crop work.

Olivia is fearless and has aspirations of being a veterinarian. She cares for the farm’s cats, nursing sick ones back to health at her treehouse veterinary clinic. She also shows pigs; this year’s are Sassy and Chocolate. Last year her cow won supreme champion female at the Reading Fair dairy show.

Family is essential to their success, the girls agree, and through the power of laughter, the family can relax, work together and accomplish great things.

From a mother who devotes so much time to the All-American Dairy Show or to sharing her dairy’s story at the state capitol in Harrisburg, to a father who never stops working, supporting the family and teaching his daughters how to make their way in the dairy industry, the sisters learn by example.

“I’m real proud of them,” said William of his daughters. “They work hard, and they’ve done well. They’ll make their mark on Pennsylvania agriculture.”

by Jennifer Showalter STEELES TAVERN, VA — A Sheep Field Day coupled with the 37th Annual Virginia Performance Tested Ram Lamb Sale and Replacement Ewe Lamb Sale recently made for a good outing for sheep enthusiasts. In addition to being an educational event, producers were able to exchange genetics to improve their herd.

Field Day While potential buyers were evaluating the lambs cosigned to the sale, others had the opportunity to sit in on a series of educational lectures intended to bring everyone up to speed on current issues and relevant management tools.

Dr. Bruce Bowman with the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (VADACS) started the morning off with a brief discussion on Scrapie. Scrapie is a slowly progressive infectious disease of sheep and goats, which causes degeneration of the central nervous system.

Anxiousness and excitability with head/neck tremors and uncoordinated movement are usually the first noticeable symptoms. As the disease progresses, rapid weight loss, intense itching of the skin, as well as uncoordinated movement and violent shaking are common.

According to Bowman, the prevalence of Scrapie in the U.S. and especially Virginia is low but it is still out there and something producers need to be aware of. Scrapie has not been detected in Virginia for the past five years, but Bowman warned the group that Scrapie is in states all around Virginia. With proper efforts, Bowman hopes that the U.S. is declared Scrapiefree by 2017, which will be a major advantage in strengthening international trade.

Bowman spent some time going over the importance of using Scrapie identification tags. He also encouraged the group to have dead sheep checked by VADACS at no charge.

The audience was eager to hear from Mike Carpenter, also with VDACS, on his take of why the lamb market has dropped so much since the first of the year and is experiencing considerable volatility.

Carpenter got things going by saying, “What goes up must come down, and what goes around, comes around.” He then went on to explain that per capita lamb consumption is relatively stable. Being that lamb is an inelastic production, a price decrease will not

necessarily cause an increase in consumption or demand.

After two years of historically high prices with stale or shrinking production in the U.S., the recent drop in prices has been hard for many producers to adjust to. According to Carpenter, things started to change this past January and have really added up into a “Perfect Storm” over the last six or so months.

Consumer budgets have tightened and in return the demand for meat has softened. On top of that, from January 2012 to June 2012 slaughter weights increased from 134 to 150 pounds.

Carcass weights reached a record high of 79 pounds in May. The increase in carcass weights coupled with production being up 7 percent over the last year has resulted in excess lamb meat in cold storage. Actually lamb meat in cold storage was up 31 percent over the last year.

Imports for the first quarter of 2012 were also up. “All this created a bottleneck at retail, so prices were dropped to try to move the extra supplies,” said Carpenter. To make things worse, there was a sharp drop in world-wide demand of products made from lamb pelts.

Carpenter also explained there was an increase in the percentage of packer-owned lambs this year. When productions started to back up, packers understandably choose to slaughter their own lambs first, leaving some feedlots with nowhere to take their lambs. By May, some 180 to 200 pound lambs had to be sold and were sent to New Holland.

The market in the MidAtlantic area simply could not take the added pressure of the additional lambs. “We began to see some slight strength in the market from late July into August. So if we thought the worst was over…brace yourselves; gird up your loins.

Prices in New Holland on August 20th dropped $20 to $30/cwt with 90 to 110 pound choice lambs averaging $96/cwt, with many in the $80’s. Demand was lessened after the end of Ramadan and supplies were higher. With higher feed prices and a good grass season here in the East, we are just beginning to see producers market lambs earlier,” said Carpenter.

He went on to suggest that the next logical opportunity for higher prices is the Eid Holiday in October. With that being said, he warned the audience that this is during a

high in protein. The forages should meet the nutrient needs of ewes nursing singles, but ewes nursing twins will respond to one to one and a half pounds of energy supplementation.

Stockpiling fescue by fertilizing certain fields with 40 to 70 pounds nitrogen per acre and accumulating forage growth is another option to help cut feed costs. According to McCann, the amount of accumulated growth depends on fall moisture and the quality of this growth only diminishes slightly over the course of the winter. He encouraged strip/limited grazing to most efficiently utilize the accumulated growth.

McCann also encouraged the producers to go ahead and test the hay they will be using this winter. “Farmers can distinguish between their top and bottom hays when the hay is harvested. However, the question then becomes, ‘How good is the better hay and how bad the poor hay is?’ Efficient, economical, and effective supplementation programs depend on an accurate forage test.

Economically, you do not want to overfeed; and from a production perspective, you cannot afford to underfeed,” said McCann.

By testing hay, producers can more logically store their hay if options are available. “If limited shelter is available, clearly the best hay needs to be in the dry,” said McCann.

With flock health being such an important factor to success in the sheep industry, Dr. Andy Meadows with Springwood Livestock Management Service in Wytheville, VA briefly went over a sheep flock health management schedule and gave those who had never seen a BSE performed on a ram the opportunity to watch and ask questions. He worked his way from 30 days pre-breeding to ram turnout, to pregnancy check at 80 to 90 days postturnout, to 30 days pre-lambing, to lambing, and finished up with post-lambing. With deworming mentioned several times during the schedule, Meadows advised the audience to only deworm if the FAMACHA test indicates it is necessary.

With over 100 people in attendance, the field day was quite a success.

nine Katahdin, two White Dorper, and five Crossbreds, from 13 different consignors were on test at the Virginia Sheep Evaluation Station in Steeles Tavern, VA. All of the rams were guaranteed to be free of the spider gene.

These rams were delivered to the station on May 1 and were weighed, vaccinated for clostridial diseases, dewormed, had feet trimmed and soaked, and scrotal measurements

taken. The rams were then sorted among four pens depending on breed and age. Following a two-week adjustment period, the rams started on test.

The rams were fed a pelleted ration containing 75% TDN and 14% CP ad libitum and had access to pasture for the entire 63-day test period.

According to FAMACHA readings, none of the rams needed to be dewormed during the test period.

At the conclusion of the tests, the rams were evaluated for structural soundness and overall type by a committee. Unsound and unsuitable rams were eliminated from the sale. The rams also had to pass a BSE conducted by veterinarians from the VirginiaMaryland Regional College of Veterinary Medicine.

The 37th Virginia Performance Tested Ram Lamb Sale and

Replacement Ewe Lamb Sale consisted of 52 rams and 29 ewe lambs. Robbie Reeves of Mt. Solon, VA served as the auctioneer. The rams averaged $554, and the ewes averaged $330. Lot 217, a Suffolk ram cosigned by Suffangus Farms, Mac Swortzel and family of Greenville, VA, topped the sale at $1,275. This ram went to Courtney and Lianna Durrer of Ruckersville, VA.

NRHA World Champion returns home to run training center

by Hope Holland Thomas Wolfe wrote a book entitled “You Can’t Go Home Again.” It was a popular book that became a classic piece of literature. However if you ask Dutch Chapman, a man who is also quite well known in his sport, he will tell you that Thomas Wolfe might just have been wrong.

Dutch Chapman has come home and in a very big way indeed. He has

brought with him a litany of winnings in the world of Reining Horses, having engendered in one way or another over 50 World and Reserve World Champions and Top Ten’s in every division of the National Reining Horse Association, plus a reputation for an excess of half million dollars in earnings by his clients and their horses.

With lifetime earnings nearing $80,000,

Chapman is also a twotime NRHA World Champion. His first big win came in 1990 aboard Smoke And Lightning when they won the Limited Open championship. His second World Championship came in 1992 aboard Tiny Money Miss in the Novice Horse Open division. This talented trainer has been the NRBC Limited Open Derby Reserve Champion and the

Carolina Classic Limited Open Derby Reserve Champion. He has also been a finalist at the NRHA Derby, Futurity and the All-American Quarter Horse Congress Futurity.

So why would a man who was placed to do all the above even bother coming home again?

As Chapman laconically says, “Don and Evelyn Burgy (that would be Dr. Evelyn Jackson, professionally speaking) made me an offer I couldn’t refuse.

Evelyn is really into reining and she has been a client for 10 years. This is a very good central location and I have a lot of customers down here and even some family here, too.”

The offer was a training center. A big, fancy training center all fitted out with what every reining horse rider needs and wants. The center for Chapman Reining Horses, located in Woodbine, MD, has 38 12 X 12 ft. fully matted stalls, two wash stalls with hot/cold water and heat lamps, an 84 X 204 ft. sand indoor arena in addition to the outdoor sand round pen and the 150 X 300 ft. sand mix outdoor arena. It also has overhead fans in all aisleways, a heated observation lounge, large customer tack room, trailer plug-ins and four -board solid wood fencing around all of the paddocks on the rolling grassy pastures.

What more can a trainer ask for? With the work load Chapman has, he needs some support which he has in the persons of his assistant trainers.

The newest guy on the team is Zack Petroski who started showing reining in 2000.

Petroski graduated from

an Equine Science Program in Canada, worked with several other trainers and worked with Chapman in Pennsylvania before moving to Maryland with Chapman when he came down.

Then there is Martin Audet who started riding reining horses when he was 14. He has a degree in Equine Science from La Pocatiere in Quebec where he was trained in all equine disciplines.

After college, he started his professional reining career with Rejean Levesque, a well-known Canadian trainer, breaking colts and showing horses. In 2003 he moved to North Carolina and began working with Mike McEntire. Audet started showing horses on the national level with Mike McEntire at NRHA competitions. He has been very successful in the show pen with over $20,000 in life time earnings.

Highlights of Audet’s career include the 2005 Limited Open Reserve World Champion on A Poco Nic Chick. In 2007 he won the VRHA Limited Open Derby on Che Bellarima. In 2008, on Cash My Brudders Chex, he won the renowned ABI Limited Open Derby at the Carolina Classic. In addition to showing futurity and derby horses, Audet enjoys coaching and training non-pro riders.

On the distaff side there is Maya Stessin who started riding when she was six years old in her hometown of Seattle, WA. She took lessons in all-around equitation, trail riding, western and English, and started reining and showing at age 13. Maya continued to ride and compete while attending the University of Findlay in Ohio, where she received

a Bachelor’s degree in Equine Science with an emphasis in training.

While in college Maya was also a member of the NRHA Intercollegiate Judging Team.

Maya enjoys working with riders of all ages and stages, and is currently teaching many of the young riders at Chapman Reining Horses.

Chapman is a busy man, whose schedule includes attending two to three shows per month, all along the East Coast. When you ask him what he does with his time off, he says, “Weekends when we are not at a show, everyone is welcome to come and we all ride together and refine our skills before the next show. Evenings, we socialize.”

Add to that work load the fact that Chapman’s training program spans from the green rider to the accomplished non pro and covers the training of young prospects to the experienced show horse and you have a very busy man indeed.

Chapman has always mentored Assistant Trainers who have gone on to be trainers all over the world. Some have stayed close to the East Coast; others are across the nation or even overseas.

Dutch Chapman is many things in the Reining world, it seems.

He is a winner, a teacher and a trainer; a promoter of both horses and humans as well as a man who can make happy endings for people who try hard. This is no small talent and it seems only fitting that a man who can do all those things should have a lovely place made for him to come home to as well.

NDE

The NDE mixer will cut and mix long stem fiber in an even, consistent ration.

They are built with quality components, simple to maintain, while mixing fast and efficiently with NO dead spots. They really do work!

Why buy any other mixer?

Brothers Jay and Karl Krueger

When I started talking about a new TMR mixer, "Dad was about to have a heart attack" thinking about the investment, stated Jay. I looked around at other vertical mixers, and NDE looked like the strongest, best built and easiest to maintain and do the job we needed. I had also gotten some good reports about Trissel Equipment from other owners. It was only a few days after we bought the NDE 1402 mixer, that we realized the purchase couldn't have been better.

Our butterfat went from 3.7-3.8 to 4.2 almost immediately by feeding 10 pounds of hay per head, while milk rose several pounds on the same ration. We can now make the ration fit our homegrown hay we have available, even if it's less palatable. Sorting has been all but eliminated and our 90 cows now eat what is good for them and not just what they want. October will be a year, the whole family agrees the purchase was a wise investment!

Home,, Family,, Friendss & You Inspired ideas to change up your chicken dishes (Family Features) — Chicken is one of America’s favorite foods, so much so that every American ate an average of 84 pounds last year. Although it’s a great go-to ingredient for a family dinner, it’s easy to get tired of the same old chicken recipes. To help combat chicken fatigue, Hellmann’s® mayonnaise has teamed up with Chef Tim Love to launch the “Chicken Change-Up,” offering simple and family-friendly recipe ideas, tips and tricks to help inspire parents when preparing the nightly meal.

This week’s Sudoku Solution

Twenty students in Penn State’s Department of Animal Science received an up-close view

of the French equine industry as part of a course taken for credit that included both class-

room experience and a trip to the heart of the French equine industry, Normandy. The trip pro-

vided an exceptional opportunity to tour stud farms, training facilities, racetracks and equine research facilities.

Katie Branham, Lincoln University, PA, expresses the sentiments shared by the group, “It was a wonderful experience.” Thrilled with the opportunity to visit premier equine operations, she added, “It opened our eyes to the whole range of career opportunities for people who are interested in the equine industry. The training facilities we visited were fantastic, and it was exciting to get a close look.”

Branham, who wants to study reproductive biology, was especially intrigued by a visit to the M Stud Farm, a sport breeding and training farm, highly regarded throughout Europe for their advanced breeding techniques. Of particular interest was a foaling device hooked onto the horse’s vulva so that when the mare was foaling, the device alerted

Horse Section owners by cell phone.

Alicia Rickabaugh, Stormstown, PA, junior in Animal Science, said, “I loved the whole trip. It was especially interesting to visit the Lecole De Course Hippiques, and see how concentrated and strict the schedule is.

It offered a complete grounding in all aspects of the equine industry.” A particular thrill for the students was the chance to drive a sulky around the track — with a former racehorse and an expert teacher to guide them.

Expanding knowledge and horizons while exploring career opportunities were two goals of the trip, according to Ann Swinker, Ph.D, one of the course instructors. “The course brings together the entire gamut of the equine industry, from breeding and training, to trade issues, agriculture trade policy, research,

equestrian event management and so much more. The international component includes exposure to the equine industry, but we include French culture, geography and history to really expand the students’ global perspective. This is the first year we have offered the course, of which the international trip is an integral part.”

She noted that they are currently reviewing the course syllabus and hoping to offer the course and a return trip to Normandy next year.

Terry Etherton, Ph.D., Head of Animal Science, said, “This course provides a tremendous learning opportunity about many facets of the equine industry. In particular, it is especially vital for our students to see the wide range of ca-

Maryland polocrosse players named Touch of Class award recipients ANNAPOLIS, MD — Two Marylandborn polocrosse players who compete at the national and international level have been named the August “Touch of Class” award winners by the Maryland Horse Industry Board (MHIB), a program of the Maryland Department of Agriculture (MDA). Dori Johnson and Caroline Gardiner returned this month from representing the United States in a series of test match competitions in the United Kingdom.

“The fact that two of the top woman players in the United States were introduced and became accomplished in the sport of polocrosse while growing up in

Maryland once again underscores the great diversity of our state,” said Jim Steele, Chairman of the MHIB. Polocrosse is played worldwide in about 20 countries and is described as “playing lacrosse on horseback.”

Johnson, a previous World Cup squad player for the United States, served as coach of the American Polocrosse Association’s Youth (Under 23) Team, and Gardiner was named “Best Ladies Player” in the three-game tournament against Great Britain.

Maryland has two polocrosse clubs: Bay Area Polocrosse in Calvert County, and the Sugarloaf Mountain

Polocrosse Club in Montgomery County. In addition, numerous Maryland pony clubs field polocrosse teams. The American Polocrosse Association lists more than 40 clubs throughout the United States.

Johnson, a graduate of Bishop McNamara High School in Forestville and of Prince George’s Community College, started playing polocrosse with the Marlborough Pony Club in Upper Marlboro. She has continuously competed in national and international competitions since 2008. Last year Johnson was named one of the top four U.S. women polocrosse players and repre-

sented the U.S. in World Cup competition in Great Britain. The U.S. squad finished fourth out of eight international teams. Johnson’s family operates Glennwood Farm in Upper Marlboro.

Gardiner, a graduate of The Calverton School in Huntingtown (Calvert County), has represented the United States three times in international competition, starting her career in international tournament play at age 16. In 2009, she traveled with the American Polocrosse Association’s youth team to South Africa, and has just returned from her most recent

tion prior to the trip really gave us great background, and the course spurred my interest in investigating an equine science minor.”

Gaining a better understanding of the equine industry was important to Kelly Corcoran, Monroe County, PA. She reflected on the experience, saying, “I learned so much about the horse industry in France. I know I’ll continue to integrate this knowledge when I begin vet school. The trip also encouraged me to learn more about the U.S. horse industry, and I hope to compare my experiences in France to our own high-end breeding farms and racetracks.”

It was especially interesting for the group to visit the Saint-Lo National Stud, which features technical centers for horse owners, museums, youth programs, and vocational training programs. Melissa Wise, Bloomington, IL, said, “Being able to see the rich history

and the advances that have been made taught us a lot about groups of people coming together so that assets can be developed for all to enjoy.” Their hosts emphasized the unity that is shared by those who work in the horse industry, regardless of political or social divisions.

The trip was organized by the Normandy Horse Council, who will also be hosting the 2014 World Equestrian Games being held in France for the first time. They also visited Cruchettes Stud Farm, home of French Trotters Breeding and Training and pioneers of modern horse breeding techniques; the Equine Research Centers in Douzele, pathology laboratories to study equine diseases; LeQuesnay Stud Farm; La Touques Thoroughbred Racetrack; Thoroughbred Training Centers; and Clairefontaine Racetrack and Deauville In addition to the strong equine com-

ponent, students visited several historical sites throughout the region — Mont St. Michel, Caen Memorial Museum providing an overview of World War II, the United States World War II Memorial Museum and Cemetery, and Versailles. Stops in Paris included Notre Dame Cathedral, the Louvre, Tuileries, Musee D’Orsay and the Eiffel Tower.

Part of the course requirement was keeping a daily travel journal, now used to reflect on the many outstanding memories created in Normandy.

While no one was willing to single out just one favorite experience, the enthusiasm for this unique learning opportunity was universal. The French equine leaders left a favorable impression, of their breeding, their training, their career opportunities — and their warmth in welcoming a group of Penn State students eager to experience the culture and the rich, historic legacy of a thriving horse industry.

Justene Testa, Latrobe, PA, added, “Through the class I was truly able to learn a lot about our equine industry here in the U.S. and even more about France. What we experienced went from breath-taking to fascinating. Going on this short trip allowed me not only to experience going abroad, which I had never done before, but also to learn more about the equine industry and a new culture.”

For John Boston, Warminster, PA, an ag engineering major, the trip afforded the opportunity to get to know animal science majors, his colleagues within the College of Agricultural Sciences with whom he previously had little interaction. He said, “The introduc-

A few simple steps before storing for the winter are keys to machine performance and long life After a long summer in the hayfield, it’s tempting to simply back haying equipment into the shed for the winter without giving it a second thought. However, conducting a thorough endof-season inspection and writing down maintenance needs while they are still top of mind can be time well spent.

That’s the advice of Dean Morrell, product marketing manager for

Hesston by Massey Ferguson® hay products and 35-year-veteran of the quality hay business.

“A full end-of-season visual inspection helps ensure you’re well prepared to complete needed repair and maintenance projects during winter downtime,” said Morrell. “Months down the road it can be hard to remember that noise you wanted to check out before next season. By

writing it down, you have a big head start on maintenance that will leave your equipment in top condition, ready for another productive season.” Good machine care, with proper maintenance and repair not only helps ensure proper operation and long life, it helps maintain resale value, Morrell points out.

A clean machine simplifies fall maintenance and inspection. It also

helps minimize rust which can start where dirt and moisture collect on a machine.

Begin with removing dirt, dust and hay debris by sweeping the machine or using highpressure air or a power washer. While balers often carry the most dirt and hay material, it’s best to use air when cleaning balers because of their many moving parts and op-

portunities to create rust.

High-pressure washing is best for cleaning mower or conditioner cutter bars.

Rakes as well as selfpropelled and pull-type windrowers can be pressure-washed to remove dirt, dust and hay debris.

Although some maintenance tasks can be deferred until winter, at a minimum, grease machines and change oil and filters before parking. Balers and self-propelled windrowers typically require the most care before going into winter storage. Rakes generally require minimal maintenance, but it’s still important to give them the attention they need before storing for the winter, says Morrell.

He offers these “quick tips” for end-of-season maintenance and reminds producers to follow the operator’s manual and manufacturer’s recommendations.

Windrower checklist • Begin your inspection at the header, looking for wear and components which should be replaced.

• For sickle-bar headers, replace cutter bar teeth and ledger plates.

Replace the guards once yearly when storing machines or add this to your list for completion during winter.

• On disk mowers, replace knives and rotate or replace worn turtles covering the knives.

• Grease all lift-system wear points.

• For self-propelled machines, be sure to change engine oil and filters.

• Replace or blow out all air filters, including the cab air filter.

• Check all belts for checking and signs of wear. Inspect tires for wear that might require tire replacement. Inflate to

the required air pressure.

• Check and blow dirt and debris from radiators. On machines with “smart” reversing fans such as the V-Cool™ system found on Hesston WR Series self-propelled windrowers, radiator screens already should be clean and free of dirt and hay.

Baler checklist • Sweep or use air pressure to remove dirt, dust and hay debris. Aggressive washing should be avoided to reduce the opportunity for rust.

• Grease all grease zerks on wear points.

• Change hydraulicsystem filters.

• After changing hydraulic filters, run the machine to purge air from the system and reduce the opportunity for condensation to form during the winter.

• Check gearbox fluid levels and change as recommended in the operator’s manual.

• Replace broken pickup tines.

• Oil chains before placing in storage.

• On round balers, inspect belts for checking and other wear. Loosen belt tensioners so they are not sitting under full tension through the winter.

Rake checklist • Clean the rake to remove dirt, dust and hay debris.

• Add grease at all grease points.

• Replace pickup teeth as needed.

• Conduct a thorough walk-around inspection to identify other service and maintenance needs, including rotating the basket and raking wheels to identify worn bearings.

• Check and repack wheel bearings annually. Inspect tires for wear and weather checking; inflate to the correct pressure.

Will Farmers Get a Farm Bill or be Left Holding the Bag? Issued Sept. 14, 2012 The latest World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates report (WASDE) reduced the 2012 milk production forecast for the third month in a row, “reflecting a slower rate of growth in milk per cow in the second half of the year.” USDA udder counters forecast milk output to hit 199.9 billion pounds, down 100 million pounds from last month’s projection, and compares to 196.2 billion in 2011 and 192.8 billion in 2010. The 2013 forecast was unchanged at 198.9 billion. Skimsolids imports were raised but the export forecast was unchanged.

Product prices were forecast higher for 2012 resulting in higher Class III and IV milk price forecasts. The 2012 Class III price was projected to average $16.75-$16.95 per hundredweight (cwt.), up from the $16.50-$16.70 projected a month ago, and compares to $18.37 in 2011 and $14.41 in 2010. The 2013 average remained at $17.70-$17.70.

The butter price forecast for 2013 was reduced slightly on weaker expected demand but forecasts for other products were unchanged.

Thus, the Class II price forecast was unchanged but the Class IV price was lowered. It is now projected to average $15.45$15.75 for 2012. That compares to $15.10$15.40 a month ago, $19.04 in 2011, and $15.09 in 2010. The 2013 average was projected to average $15.85-$16.95, down a nickel from last month’s estimate.

The 2011/12 estimated season-average corn price is $6.25 per bushel, according to the WASDE. The projected range for the 2012/13 season lowered 30 cents on both ends of the range compared to a month ago, at $7.20-

$8.60 per bushel.

The 2012/13 seasonaverage soybean price was unchanged at $15.00-$17.00 per bushel, compared to the 2011/12 season-average of $12.45. Soybean meal prices were projected at $485-$515 per ton, up $25.00 on both ends of the range compared to last month’s forecast, and up from the 2011/12 season-average of $397 per ton.

In politics; lawmakers returned to Capitol Hill this week. One important piece of legislation to deal with is the 2012 Farm Bill. The Senate passed its version, as has the House Agriculture Committee, but the full House has yet to vote on it.

Both versions include reforms to the U.S. dairy safety net policies, in-

Mielke from 18 cluding the elimination of the Milk Income Loss Contract (MILC) and the Dairy Price Support programs. Both bills would replace them with a two pronged safety net program, one part being the Dairy Producer Margin Protection Program (DPMPP) and the second being the Dairy Market Stabilization Program (DMSP).

National Milk and more than a dozen other agricultural organizations urged Senate leaders to “refrain from supporting” any legislation resembling the House-passed disaster bill if such a measure is presented. Supporting such a measure would detract from the larger mission of passing a longterm 2012 Farm Bill, they said, and a public rally featuring speakers from the Senate, House, and various other farm organizations was held September 12 to lobby lawmakers to pass a Farm Bill before September 30.

In late breaking news Thursday, Dairy Profit Weekly (DPW) reported that U.S. Rep. Bruce Braley (D-Iowa) filed a bipartisan “discharge petition” which could force House floor consideration of a 2012 Farm Bill proposal.

The petition was filed after House Speaker John Boehner allowed the House Ag Committee’s proposal to be reported from committee. Immediately, Rep. Braley formally introduced his bipartisan discharge petition, signed by 38 other House members. If at least 218 House members sign the petition,

leaders are forced to bring the legislation to the floor for a vote.

“While the discharge petition advanced by Congressman Braley is certainly an unorthodox tactic, we are now forced to support this drastic measure, said American Soybean Association (ASA) President Steve Wellman, a soybean farmer from Syracuse, Nebraska. Details are available at www.dairyline.com.

Checking the markets, cash block cheese closed the second Friday in September at $1.8725 per pound, up 4 1/4-cents on the week and 9 1/2cents above a year ago. Ten offers went uncovered Friday. Barrel closed at $1.8275, up 5 1/4-cents on the week and 10 3/4-cents above a year ago. Eighteen carloads of block found new homes on the week and 12 of barrel. The AMS-surveyed U.S. average block price inched to $1.8533, up 0.6 cent, while the barrels averaged $1.8330, up 0.1 cent.

Food service demand is showing added interest in cheese with most schools back in session, according to USDA’s Dairy Market News. While domestic demand is good, export interest is weaker as U.S. prices are above international prices in many cases.

Export sales are being assisted by the CWT program which announced that it accepted 11 requests for ex-

New agritourism Web guide helps operators keep visitors safe Agritourism is more popular than ever, with millions of people visiting corn mazes, pumpkin patches, pickyour-own operations and other agricultural attractions every year.

Keeping visitors safe is the purpose of the new interactive Web guide, available at www.safeagritourism.com.

Farmers can select virtual walkthroughs most appropriate for their operations. These walk-throughs identify health and safety hazards and provide resources to fix the hazards.

The walk-throughs and remedies are

based on “Agritourism Health and Safety Guidelines for Children” (www.marshfieldclinic.org/agritourism). The guidelines were originally published in 2007 by the National Children’s Center for Rural and Agricultural Health and Safety, part of the National Farm Medicine Center at Marshfield Clinic Research Foundation, Marshfield, WI. Project manager Marsha Salzwedel adapted the guidelines after obtaining feedback from farm owners and agritourism associations.

“We asked for help from people who would use the Web page. They guided us with making the recommendations ‘practical’ and told us what types of resources they needed,” Salzwedel said.

“This really helps fill a gap,” said Karen Kollars, agritourism development consultant, Nebraska Tourism Commission. “It is exciting to finally have a one-stop guide available for agritourism businesses to refer to for health and safety guidelines, along with loads of practical information, resources and checklists.”

Features of the interactive guide include: • Walk-throughs that use photos to contrast improper practices with best practices and guidelines. Review questions and resource information accompany the photos.

Mielke from 19 port assistance this week to sell 3.337 million pounds of cheese and 385,809 pounds of butter to customers in Asia and the Middle East. The product will be delivered through February 2013 and raised CWT’s 2012 cheese exports to 82.4 million pounds, 57.1 million pounds of butter, and 123,459 pounds of anhydrous milk fat to 34 countries.

The Daily Dairy Report (DDR) says U.S. exports of nonfat dry milk (NDM) slowed in July, down 19 percent from July 2011 and 21 percent lower than June 2012 after adjusting for the number of days in the month.

USDA’s Foreign Agricultural Service says U.S. NDM exports for the first seven months of the year were 7 percent higher than a year earlier. July exports to Mexico, the largest importer of U.S. NDM, were down 22 percent from July 2011 and off 24 percent from the prior month.

Year-to-date exports to Mexico are up 22 percent and account for 41percent of NDM exports. Exports to China

for January to July were 48 percent higher this year than in 2011, and account for 4 percent of NDM exports, according to the DDR. In general, exports to major NDM importers in Southeast Asia excluding China are lower than last year and the DDR pointed out that the U.S. appears to have lost market share to New Zealand, where milk powder exports were very strong in July. European exports have been firm all year, but the U.S. and Europe are approaching seasonal lows in NDM production.

The DDR warned that the U.S. could lose more market share in coming months as New Zealand enters peak production and spot prices of U.S. dairy products remain higher than world prices.

Mary Ledman, editor of the DDR, addressed some revisions in several types of cheese production for the first half of 2012 by USDA in their recent Dairy Products report but particularly in Cheddar. She reported that Cheddar output was lowered 41.2 million pounds or 2.5 percent, “a significant revi-

sion.” The reason given, she said, was that a plant reported all of their cheese as Cheddar when in fact it produced several varieties.

2012 and 2011 Cheddar production was overstated and the revision for the entire year was down 45.2 million pounds. She talks about it in her Daily Dairy Discussion which is a free download every Friday at www.dailydairyreport.com.

Jerry Dryer also wrote about the revisions in his September 7 Dairy and Food Market Analyst. He reported that the big revision was Gouda production which was originally reported as American cheese.

“USDA’s first estimate, published in April said Gouda output in 2011 totaled 16.2 million pounds. After the revisions, output stood at 65.7 million. Gouda production has increased dramatically in recent years because it is the cheese of choice among overseas customers.”

Dryer wrote. “Historically, Europe supplied these buyers with gouda cheese for processing.”

Meanwhile; cash butter started the first two

days of the week losing 4 1/2-cents but recovered some and closed Friday at $1.85 per pound, down 1 1/2-cents on the week (ending 11 consecutive weeks of gain) and 5 1/4-cents below a year ago. Four cars traded hands on the week. AMS butter averaged $1.8037, up 3 1/2-cents.

Churning schedules, especially over the Labor Day weekend, were generally stronger as cream supplies were available to churns coast to coast, according to USDA. Most butter producers were pleased with the additional offerings as many feel that cream supplies will tighten this fall. Butter demand is seasonally steady. Export activity continues from the U.S. including that from the CWT. Cash Grade A nonfat dry milk lost a penny on the week, slipping to $1.69. Extra Grade held all week at $1.6350. AMS powder averaged $1.3622, up 3.6 cents, and dry whey averaged 57.45 cents, up 1.4 cents.

USDA reports that Class I demand was strong after the holiday weekend across much of

the nation. Eastern milk supplies are tight with Florida importing 72 loads the first week of September. Hurricane Isaac caused some temporary transportation problems with handlers in the Southeast. Midwest manufacturing milk supplies were aided by the long holiday weekend as some plants took the weekend off and others worked extra shifts to increase inventories.

California milk production is trending slightly higher as temperatures have moderated. Processors are handling current supplies with relative ease.

New Mexico milk output is flat and tracking below year ago levels. Milk production in the Northwest is slowing following seasonal patterns. Milk handlers are balancing supplies within the region.

Cream demand is increasing as Class II plants go back to full production.

Checking the price front, California’s October Class I milk price was announced by the California Department of Food and Agriculture at $20.55 per cwt. for the north and $20.82 for the south. Both are up $1.21 from September but 95

cents below October 2011.

The 2012 Class I price average now stands at $18.25 for the north, down from $20.72 at this time a year ago but compares to $16.66 in 2010.

The southern average now stands at $18.52, down from $20.99 a year ago and compares to $16.93 in 2010. The Federal order Class I price is announced September 19.

One quick update from last week’s story about legal action being filed against the California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA) over the state’s Class 4b milk pricing; Ag Secretary Karen Ross issued a statement deferring to its plan to assemble a “Dairy Future Task Force.”

She said “Dairy producers, processors and cooperatives are being asked to come together as a coalition to make recommendations for changes to the pricing structure, so that there is long-term stability in the industry and California may maintain its status as a world leader in dairy production well into the future.” Details are available at CDFA’s website blog.
