Eastern RI 4-H Country Fair includes livestock competitions

by Sanne Kure-Jensen Thousands of families enjoyed another great weekend at the Eastern Rhode Island 4H Country Fair at Glen Park in Portsmouth, RI. A dedicated committee of farmers and volunteers has hosted a fun-filled family weekend for over 40 years. Admissions, cow chip bingo and a chicken barbecue dinner raise funds for 4-H Club scholarships. This Fair offers 4-H’ers a public venue for competition and public outreach.

Livestock and animal events included Dairy and Beef Competitions, Dairy Parade, Horse, Goat, Rabbit, Poultry and Pet Shows. The petting zoo had barn animals including a one-week-old calf and goat as well as chickens, ducks and lambs. Pony rides were available for kids.

Children’s Games included a variety of contests: Cow Pie throwing, pedal tractor pull, egg toss, corn husking, twoman sawing, pie eating, ice cream eating, watermelon eating and donuts-on-a-string eating. The Strongman contest drew only female competitors this year. A water slide and bounce houses were open to kids.

on a variety of topics. Air Strike 78, A teen robotics group, displayed their latest robot in action. Local crafters offered their products for sale.

To compete in the Fair’s Dairy Contest, 4-H’ers start working with heifers in spring.

Participants make regular visits to a farm, working with heifers and practicing walking together. 4-H’ers also learn to wash, groom, feed and clean up after animals. During the competition, contestants wear standard 4-H show clothing: white or khaki pants with white collared shirts. Sturdy leather work shoes or boots reduce the chance of injury from animals.

The Dairy Competition offered these Showmanship Classes: • Novice - First Year Showing; • Cloverbuds - Under 8 as of Jan. 1, 2012; • Freshman - 8 years - 10 years as of Jan. 1, 2012; • Junior - 11 years - 13 years as of Jan. 1, 2012; • Intermediate - 14 years -16 years as of Jan. 1, 2012; and • Senior - 17 years -18 years as of Jan. 1, 2012.

4-H Competitions use the Danish Group Award System because all participants who reach a standard level of excellence receive recognition (blue, red or white ribbons). Youth compete against their own personal records.

Weeds become alternative forages for cattle

The new class of North Country weed managers.

through her seven-day cow training regime while highlighting animal behavior nuances and practical tips to harvest these alternative forages. “We are creating a language,” she said. “Cows can be as good as goats at browsing plus they stay in the fences.” According to her cited resources, weeds like knapweed, thistles, nettles, milkweed, burdock, bedstraw and even multi-flora rose leaves are highly nutritious and add quality and quantity to pasture swards. “We just have to train cows that these new foods are good and let them choose right along with other pasture plants. Forcing them

to eat weeds as the last resort in a pasture is a recipe for disaster on animal performance.”

Chef Linda treated the group to a spectacular local lunch featuring their own hamburgers and potato salad, pasta salad and tomato-zucchini tarts all made with vegetables from their neighbors at Juniper Hill Farm CSA. After lunch Shaun talked about the history of the farm, their goals as a diversified operation and led the group through the grazing system for their 70 head beef cow herd.

He then told of his experience in following Kathy’s recipe with guidance from Essex Co. SWCD mentor, Tiffany Pinheiro to teach some of his cows to eat thistles, milkweed

and multi-flora rose. At first glance, there didn’t appear to be much impact, but upon further scrutiny many plants were bitten and leaves shredded off. Kathy commented, “It takes time for animals and people to learn the system but I can see progress. The neat thing is seeing them teach their herd mates and offspring because learning from mom is the biggest influence.”

John Bingham of Wild Orchard Farm in nearby Whallonsburg, NY, came to learn so he could teach his custom grazed dairy heifers to manage the forbs on his property. “I’m really interested in teaching more farmers about rotational grazing in the north country and using these

diverse plant communities to build soil health and create more local food.”

Josh and Sarah Vaillancourt from Woven Meadows Farm in Saranac, NY, shared their desire to use this venue to maximize pasture usage and take back some fallow land infested with bedstraw with animals instead of tillage. “We were fascinated by the animal behavior culture Kathy talked about and how she reminded us what we used to feed our animals like carrots, beets, steamed vegetables and other alternative forages not necessarily from the grain family.”

Organizer Tiffany Pinheiro commented on how this new aspect of training can be good for the animals, land, water and its stewards given the financial and environmental rewards. “We are committed to providing practical educational programs that bring farmers and consumers together to explore different options of doing business that enhance our natural resources. I know I’ll never look at weeds (forages) the same way again,” she said.

This event was sponsored by the Essex County and Franklin County Soil & Water Conservation Districts, America’s Great Outdoors, Central NY RC&D Council, Northeast SARE, & the Adirondack North Country Association along with hosts, Shaun and Linda Gillilland.

by Troy Bishopp WILLSBORO, NY — As pastures continue to dry up, alternative forages (previously called weeds) are filling in to supply cattle with nutritious feed; as long as cattle get the knowledge to eat them that is.

Enter Kathy Voth, Colorado’s nationally acclaimed author and teacher/trainer of how to turn cows into weed managers. “Thistles are as beautiful as roses,” she proclaims.

To make believers out of graziers and their animals, the “make peace with weeds” gal teamed up with the UVM Center for Sustainable Agriculture on a week-long training in support of their USDA-NRCS Conservation Innovation Grant. Her final training, near the shores of Lake Champlain was working with the Essex & Franklin County Soil and Water Conservation Districts and their sponsors at Shaun and Linda Gillilland’s, Ben Wever Farm in Willsboro, NY. Kathy opened the day by pointing out to the capacity crowd that we have been fighting the war on weeds for centuries believing we could win.

She debunked the notions that weeds are bad and animals only eat certain forages (cows only eat grass and legumes for instance). “We have put ourselves in a box on our thinking but we must punch our way out of it,” she emphasized. Her take home message to graziers was twofold: Animals are really flexible on what they eat and weeds are really good forage.

She guided the audience

Farmers make hay by renting fields WALLINGFORD, CT (AP) — Parttime farmer Colleen Augur’s 90 dairy and beef cattle eat a lot of hay. In the warmer months, they primarily graze on the more than 30 acres of Wallingford grassland she and business partner Art Barillaro have kept them on for the last 20 years, but in the colder half of the year, they consume thousands of bales of stored hay that can run between $3.50 and $6 each.

To help save on costs, this year Augur and Barillaro have taken advantage of the town’s farmland lease program, renting three nearby hay fields from the town.

“It will save us a tremendous amount of money,” Augur said, walking through the green and golden acres of tall clover and other grass she leases near Tyler Mill Preserve.

She said that buying the balers and other equipment was costly this year, but in the long run she believes it will pay off.

Augur is one of several local farm-

ers who augment their current operations with town-owned land. Thirtyseven lots of various sizes are administered under the program — one held up by state organizations as a model for preserving farmland throughout Connecticut. Those who work with the program say it’s what has kept Wallingford’s prized pastoral feel.

“It’s wonderful. I think what people don’t realize is without the farmland lease program, we wouldn’t see fields in Wallingford,” said Dianne Saunders, head of the Farmland Lease Subcommittee, which is part of the town’s Conservation Committee.

Saunders is working with the committee this summer to write up new individual bid specifications for more than two-thirds of the town’s lots.

Through lease extensions, 27 will be coming up to bid at the same time this fall as they work to streamline the process by clustering expiration dates. Bids will be awarded by January, in time for farmers to pur-

chase seeds and other items in time for the season.

The town looks for farmers who live near their desired plots, though not necessarily in Wallingford, to increase responsiveness if there’s an issue with the land — such as a fallen tree, according to town Environmental Planner Erin O’Hare.

They also select farmers based on requested land stewardship plans they lay out in their bids. The bulk of the properties, about 60 percent, are used as hayfields, with another 20 as pastureland for various livestock, and 20 percent for growing vegetables, Saunders said.

The land was purchased by the town, much of it with state funding assistance.

“It started when farmers retired and the land went out of production and they wanted to sell the land and offered it to the town as open space,” O’Hare said. “They don’t want to see their land turn out to be paved, they want it forever to be open space.”

Those who win the contract for the land are not allowed to sublease it. In 2002 former Public Utilities Commission Chairman George Cooke was criticized by town government for allegedly subletting parts of the acres he leased to other farmers. Cooke was the original owner of the land, located off Whirlwind Hill Road, having leasing it back after selling it to the town back in 1999 for $3.8 million. Despite the flap, his future bids on various plots were accepted.

Saunders said it has been a conscious decision to keep these areas farmland. If the town did not lease the land and let the properties go, within 12 years it would be full woods — blocking, she said, many of the best views in town, such as those near Ulbrich reservoir, which is surrounded by leased land. If the town wanted to maintain the land and not lease it, mowing and other costs associated with the 376 acres would amount to about $80,000 annually, Saunders said.

She said retaining the land as farmland keeps Wallingford’s rural heritage alive.

“Drive off 91 and cross over the bridge, you’re in the land that time forgot. People like that,” Saunders said.

The farmland also provides a habitat for a number of species of animals that aren’t supported by forest or more suburban areas.

Everything from bobolinks — which are rarely seen in the northeast these days, the conservationists said — to hawks, foxes and owls can be found living on the land.

Wallingford’s amount of land in the program is likely the second-most in the state behind Roxbury, according to Jim Gooch, executive director of the Connecticut Farmland Trust. He said the aging population of farmers — for every farmer under 35 there are five over 60, he said — threatens farmland across the state as farmers retire or die and their land is sold.

Wallingford’s program is a way for municipalities to retain some of those properties.

“I think it’s a brilliant way for a town to manage land,” Gooch said of Wallingford’s program. “I think agriculture has a place in every community.”

Jiff Martin, an educator with the University of Connecticut’s Cooperative extension programs, said the Wallingford program was a model, likely so robust because it has a concerted committee. She works with Wallingford and other towns on their farmland lease programs.

“They did a really good job balancing the needs of growers to have land for viable agricultural operations — they balanced that with the environmental priorities of their own. That’s not easy to do,” Martin said.

Many Connecticut farmers lease land because they can’t afford to buy, given high prices for property in the state.

A project by the American Farmland Trust and UConn co-op extension system on leasing farmland said the cost of agricultural land in the state has seen a recent increase, with one acre priced at about $12,667 on average in 2007.

USDA figures say 38 percent of farmers lease farmland, either wholly or as part of their holdings.

“If you’re a young farmer, you can’t compete with developers,” Gooch said.

Augur said mounting cost is why she chose to rent land.

“I couldn’t afford to buy property — we’re not making money at this,” Augur said.

Her operation raises mostly cows that are sold to dairy farmers after they give birth. They keep the calves to repeat the process. She also shows many of the various breeds and works with 4H students from throughout the area.

She has a formal day job working on the power lines with United Illuminating, and spends her beforeand after-work hours and weekends tending to the cattle or land or driving throughout the region to shows.

On Thursday evening, a number of children and their parents were in the barn with some of the young calves.

Her business partner, Barillaro, was out on a tractor cutting some of the adjoining fields. The two have gotten one cutting from their leased fields, and plan another before the season ends.

Their current lease is an anomaly, just for one year, and Augur said they’ll be bidding again this fall in the hopes of obtaining the same land for five years.

This fall there will be one new property put up for lease, a small sugarbush plot on Anderson Road, which some enterprising lessee can rent to tap the maple trees to make syrup.

“It’ very small, but it’s another alternative for local agriculture,” Saunders said.

Reservoir Underfoot Walter is a snowbird.

That means he spends the northern cold weather period in the Deep South… and that he and his wife spend May through October on their farm in Central New York. I milked cows for him during the late 70s through mid-eighties at varying degrees of frequency, ranging from one to 12 times per week… in addition to a day job in sales. Walter was almost organic way back then, before that concept evolved into its present feverish tidal wave. Walter practiced rotational grazing, but not intensive. He only had three or four pastures.

When the bulk tank dip-stick reading would drop some during the summer, he would move his 60 milk cows to the next pasture. On average, cattle spent 10-12 days in a paddock before being moved. For stored forage, he made small round bales. He got

enough mileage out of his pastures, so that he only had to bale hay for seven months of the year, but he made a point of having plenty of left-over hay, come spring.

Walter contacted me two years ago, wanting me to advise him as to how he should manage his meadows, so as to hopefully qualify for an agricultural assessment. He told me that some people had harvested his hay as a favor to him, so the land wouldn’t grow up to burdocks and goldenrod; thus they didn’t pay any rent. I told him that when somebody cut his hay as a favor… without putting any fertilizer or manure back on the land… the nutrient profile of his soils was in negative balance, particularly for phosphorus.

So that each year a little less desirable hay would grow; thus at some point no one would take the hay off his hands… even for free. I recom-

mended that he brushhog each meadow every three years to chase away burdock, goldenrod, and hawthorne. So that’s what he decided to do, and thus keep soil nutrition from getting any worse.

After examining his fields late this past spring, I told Walter that when someone takes the hay off this summer, I will sample his meadows to find out what nutrients they need to be fed.

He called me last week to tell me that a livestock farmer, who lives several miles away, agreed to take the hay off. Walter’s hay is certainly still late first cutting, but the other farmer has very little second cutting coming

on, so a bunch of standing, mostly brome-grass, hay looked pretty good.

Walter didn’t say whether the man agreed to pay rent or buy the standing hay. But at least, when I take the samples, he can tell whoever harvests the next crop, what the soil needs to be fed.

Walter’s meadows have a fair amount of resilience in the face of moisture extremes, both kinds. He often refers to the Old Testament proverb, “All flesh is grass”. To him, if his hay is consumed by someone else’s animals, that would be almost as good as having his own animals eat the hay, making it into milk or meat...

and it would be a lot less hassle. But, importantly, I convinced him that he had to take care of soils.

And hopefully, that we could improve the net cash flow associated with these meadows.

In mentioning moisture resilience, my mind rapidly drifts to classic agricultural research, stressing the need to keep farm soil organic matters (OM) over three percent.

Continuous row-cropping, particularly corn, tends to run organic matter down, and thus the ability of affected soils to hold moisture.

USDA data has shown that 100 pounds of dry soil with five percent OM can hold 195 pounds of water, equal to six inches

Also this past week, I examined many corn fields, all of which really need a lot of rainfall. But corn that was planted on sod that was plowed up last fall, or this spring, looked much better than longer-term corn. Continuous corn… without the moisture reserve associated with the sod (and its higher OM)… was consistently curled

www.countryfolks.com Crop from A6 up, or “fired”. Even corn planted on a gravelly (well-drained) sod wasn’t doing too well.

When Walter’s livestock contact harvests his standing hay, and when rains finally do come, there with be a shot at a second cutting.

As is generally the case with second cutting, as the old-timers say, “it’s awful nice stuff, but there ain’t a lot of it.”

Since moisture shortages tend to intensify existing nutrient deficiencies, when we get the soil test results back, after the hay is removed, Walter will be quite firm with his customer, that the soil must be fed before any more hay is harvested.

Higher O.M. is also particularly beneficial when the moisture extreme pendulum swings

the other way. In 1977 Walter experienced the reality of the above USDA data, as regards the water reservoir trait of higher OM soils. He had planted several acres of an open-pollinated, high sugar corn on a gently sloping hillside... rowcultivating it with a tiny self-propelled two-row cultivator. That year our part of Central New York received 10 inches of rain during each month of August, September, and October. Walter hired a neighbor to harvest his corn for silage. None of the corn was lost, but field work was difficult, even on the plowed-up sod. Other farmers planting longer-term corn, on fields with little OM, buried tractors. With a grim sense of humor, folks joked about how

many tractors it took to pull the tractor which pulled the corn chopper.

Sales of three-point hitch choppers were very brisk. Field crops extension agents (including this writer) were asked if badly mangled corn fields still had the same pre-food soil type.

Walter’s only experience with corn silage wasn’t all that bad. It was harvested at about 75 percent moisture. At least that’s what my estimate was of its wetness, as I forked tons of it out of a tiny wooden silo during the spring of 1978.

The cattle loved the feed, but Walter figured he could produce at least as much feed, with a lot less hassle, by seeding back the corn piece and making a lot of little round bales.

Emergency steps to aid farmers in drought needed ASAP!

by Arden Tewksbury, Manager Progressive Agriculture Organization, affiliated with the National Family Farm Coalition Yesterday (July 19), we sent to all members of the Ag Committee the disturbing situation that Stacey McCallister from Manes, MO, is facing. Stacey is a hardworking dairy farmer who is facing a severe shortage of feed for his dairy cows. Stacey is just one of many farmers that are being faced by the national drought.

We are cooperating with several organiza-

tions across the country in an attempt to urge the U.S. Secretary of Agriculture to release the CRP (Conservation Reserve Land) to be used for farmers to harvest the hay from the land.

I’m sure the AG Committee is contemplating several actions that must be taken to deal with the drought. We have some suggestions: 1. We urge the Ag Committee to contact Secretary Vilsak to release the CRP (Conservation Reserve Land).

2. Can the Committee determine the areas of

the country where there may be hay, corn, and other forages available to farmers?

3. We urge the Committee to investigate the amount of hay, corn, etc. that is being EXPORTED, and the possibility of curtailing many of the exports to make the products available to all farmers in the U.S. 4. IF there is a shortage or corn available to livestock producers, then we would urge some of the corn that is slated to be converted to ethanol be released to livestock producers.

Rick Verbeek, Dan Brandt and Jeff Ziegler all worked the phones and handled bids. Merry Rama, Amber Newman

and Melanie Ziegler handled clerking and health charts to perfection!

Congratulations to the families of Tom Morrell

and Russ Atherton on breeding such a tremendous herd of Holsteins and all their accomplishments in the dairy industry.

5. The big question: How will farmers be able to pay for the needed forage? Will there be disaster loans available? Are there other methods which the forages might be made available to farmers?

6. The drought clearly illustrates the U.S. must develop a sound

and long-term RESERVE FOOD SUPPLY. 7. Dairy farmers have no way to recoup their losses with the pricing system that is currently being used by the USDA. We urge your committee to take a hard look at a pricing formula that would allow dairy farmers to

cover their costs. (These formulas are available) 8. There must be an immediate floor price of $20 per cwt. (hundred weight) placed under all milk used for manufacturing dairy products.

Existing Class I differentials would be added to the floor price.

Time is of the essence.

Stallman makes statement regarding the 2012 drought On July 19, Bob Stallman, President, American Farm Bureau Federation, made the following statement: “The most widespread drought in a generation

has imposed great stress on people, crops and livestock. While the full impact on the nation won’t be known for several months, many farmers already know they won’t

MASSACHUSETTS GRANVILLE Woodland Farms 413-357-6453 (Cell) 413-207-2335

“From a policy perspective, it is important to remember that we don’t yet know the drought’s impact on the food supply and food prices, though we are seeing effects on feed prices. The drought’s effect on the 2012 corn crop is all the more dramatic because of the initial projections that U.S. farmers would harvest the largest corn crop ever. The latest forecasts still suggest we are on pace to produce the third or fourth largest corn crop on record. While the true extent of the damage will not be known until harvest is completed, we expect USDA’s August crop report, which is now being compiled to be released in three weeks, will provide a clearer picture as it will include ac-

tual in-the-field surveys.

And we know, quite often, if conditions do not improve, the biggest impact comes in the following crop year.

“Data suggests that most of the corn and other row crops in the drought-stricken regions are covered by crop insurance. It’s often a different story for producers of other crops. Fruit producers in the upper Midwest had entire crops wiped out this spring by late freezes and other producers have had crop losses due to excessive rains and late-season blizzards. That is why we have called for a strengthened federal crop insurance program.

“This drought and the uncertainty it is causing farmers and ranchers and other segments of our in-

dustry underscores the importance of completing action on the 2012 farm bill. Providing farmers with improved risk management tools is a core principle of both the House and Senate versions of the pending farm bill, one we have strongly advocated. Both the Senate-passed and House Agriculture Committee versions contain new tools that will assist farmers, while restoring several expired provisions that would help livestock producers manage the weather-related risks that regularly impact their livelihoods. We remain hopeful congressional leaders will expedite their work on this vital legislation.

“As the effects of the drought continue to unfold, AFBF appreciates the actions taken to date

by USDA based on its existing authorities. We will be working closely with USDA and Congress to determine if there are other practical solutions that could help producers not covered by crop insurance or other disaster mitigation tools.”

have a crop. Ranchers and livestock producers are having difficulties getting feed and forage for their livestock. The onfarm economic impacts are real and serious.

NFU supports extension of SURE program with resolution On July 17, The National Farmers Union (NFU) Board of Directors passed a resolution supporting current legislation that will extend permanent disaster programs for crops and livestock producers for one year in response to recent exceptional droughts plaguing U.S. agriculture. The extension will provide certain-

ty for U.S. farmers and ranchers while Congress works to pass the next farm bill, which the U.S. House of Representatives must do before current legislation expires on Sept. 30, 2012.

“The U.S. House must act now to pass the farm bill before current legislation expires in about two months,” said NFU President Roger John-

son. “It is critical that Congress supports the legislation sponsored by Senators Max Baucus, D-MT, Kent Conrad, DND, Tim Johnson, D-SD and Jon Tester, D-MT, that would extend the Supplemental Revenue Assistance Program (SURE), Livestock Indemnity Program (LIP), Livestock Forage Program (LFP), and Emer-

gency Livestock Assistance Program (ELAP) for one year. More than 1,000 counties in 26 states have declared disasters due to the drought and wildfire, and farmers currently do not have adequate assistance for their 2011 and 2012 weather-related crop losses.”

The SURE Program was the permanent disaster

legislation authorized by the 2008 Farm Bill.

“NFU is concerned by extreme weather conditions that are causing severe hardship for farmers and ranchers across the country, with no end in sight,” said Johnson. “We are experiencing unprecedented weather in 2012, which has resulted in 3,215 daily high tem-

perature records in the month of June 2012 alone. Congress must act to protect U.S. family farmers and ranchers from such extreme weather, and the U.S. Department of Agriculture must continue working to streamline disaster programs so they are easily accessible to those who need them most.”

average nitrates to build up in the corn plants just prior to harvest. This condition can lead to high gas levels in silos.”

During the fermentation process of silage, a number of gases are given off, Hill explained. Of particular concern is a family of gases called oxides of nitrogen — often referred to as “silo gas.”

“The formation of these gases peaks in one to two days after filling and can last for 10 days to two weeks after the fresh, green forage is chopped and blown into the silo,” he said. “This is a naturally occurring process and is necessary to ferment the forage so it is usable feed for livestock and for long-term storage.”

Hill said that sometimes gas production is so great that it is mistaken for a silo fire.

“Farmers and passersby may witness ‘smoke’ coming from the silo chute and believe the silo is on fire,” he said.

“There has been at least one instance where a fire

company was called to a farm for a ‘silo fire’ just two days after the farmer finished filling the silo.

“Firemen proceeded to pump water into the top of the silo, only to learn later that the silo was just gassing off.”

Farmers and fire personnel need to realize that it would be nearly impossible for a silo fire to start so soon after filling, Hill noted. “This is why we always talk of attempting to locate the actual fire location within the silo before any attempts of extinguishment proceed,” he said.

Silo gas sometimes has a bleach-like odor and under certain conditions can be visible as a fog from a distance (thus the mistake for smoke). If the gas is high enough in concentration, this fog will appear to be yellow to reddish brown in color, and the silage surface, silo wall, base of the chute and other structures of the silo may be stained (yellow, orange, reddish) from

the gas.

This gas is heavier than air, which means it will settle at the surface of the silage instead of rising to the top of the silo, exiting through the fill door. This is an important factor, Hill pointed out.

“The highest concentration of gas will be at the surface of the silage, which is where a person will be going if he or she needs to enter the silo for any reason,” he said.

“Also, if a silo door is open near the surface of the silage, the high concentration of gas — being heavier than air — could exit the silo through this door, flow down the chute and settle at the base of the silo in the feed room or in the barn area.

“If there is little ventilation in the barn, a dangerous buildup of silo gas can occur, which can affect livestock or people who enter the area.”

UNIVERSITY PARK, PA — A unique set of circumstances that could lead to a heightened threat of deadly gas again is being created in silos across the Northeast, according to a farm-safety expert in Penn State’s College of Agricultural Sciences.

The phenomenon may have started with the scorching heat wave the region experienced in early July — which has some areas on the edge of drought conditions — according to Davis Hill, senior extension associate in agricultural and biological engineering. It could develop if the region receives normal amounts of rainfall through the rest of the summer.

“There is now a lot of drought-stressed corn, particularly on manured fields,” he said. “If this crop receives sufficient rainfall later in the season, there will be a potential for higher-than-

Page 16 - Section A • COUNTRY FOLKS New England • July 30, 2012

Beware from A15 concentration of silo gas is dependent on the storage structure and the quality of the forage material that is chopped.

Those crops that have received nitrogen fertilizer (corn) and those crops that have suffered prolonged drought or especially prolonged drought conditions followed by rain just prior to harvest often lead to high gas production.

That could happen this summer, Hill worries. “It appears that this year, with the long droughty period that much of the state endured — which stunted the corn crop — there will be more corn harvested for silage, and that will be done fairly early,” he said.

“The high levels of nitrates in this crop will lead to higher-than-normal concentrations of silo gas produced during the ensiling process. Operators need to be aware of this and take precautions.”

These precautions include assuring all spaces at the base of the silos are well ventilated and that silo doors are closed well above the level of the silage surface. Farmers should stay out of the silo for three weeks after filling the silo and always ventilate the silo with the silo blower for at least 20 minutes prior to entry (however, this is only effective if the silo is over

half full).

Also, consider leaving the lower 10-12 inches of stalk in the field (chop higher than normal) as this part of the plant may have the highest level of nitrates accumulated.

Individual reactions to silo gas depend on the concentration of gas that is inhaled and the length of exposure, Hill said. Very high concentrations of gas will cause immediate distress, which will result in a person collapsing and dying within minutes.

“When gas levels are this high, normally the individual will not be able to withstand the symptoms felt and will vacate the area quickly,” he said.

“More mild concentrations could cause upper respiratory congestion, watering eyes, coughing, difficulty breathing, fatigue and nausea. If symptoms are mild, an individual may stay in

the area to finish the job at hand. This can make the effects of silo gas worse, as these effects can last for many hours in the body, causing symptoms to become progressively worse over the course of the next day or two.”

People experiencing any of these symptoms when inside or near a freshly filled silo should immediately exit to fresh air and leave the task for another day. They also should go immediately to their doctor or the hospital emergency room and report that they have had a serious “silo gas poisoning” exposure.

One aftereffect of silo gas poisoning is fluid in the lungs leading to chemical pneumonia and perhaps death if not treated promptly. The effects of fluid filling the lungs may not present itself until several hours after the exposure — and

then it may be too late.

Hill reminds farmers that it is rare for a silo to begin burning in the first week of filling. If a cloud is seen escaping the silo, it is most likely due to silo gas. If the fire company is called, make sure firemen don’t just start pumping water into the silo.

“Ask them to use a thermal-imaging camera

to try to identify any excessive heating of the silo,” he urged. “A burning silo will give off temperatures of more than 190 degrees at the general location of the fire as viewed with a thermalimaging camera.”

Several technical experts are available throughout Pennsylvania to help farmers and firefighters think through

the many management strategies when dealing with silo fires. This emergency information can be obtained by calling 814865-2808 during business hours or 814-4045441 after hours.

A Penn State website, www.farmemergencies.p su.edu, also offers information for fire companies to use in managing silo fires.

ATA truck tonnage jumped 1.2 percent in June ARLINGTON, VA — The American Trucking Associations’ advanced seasonally adjusted (SA) For-Hire Truck Tonnage Index increased 1.2 percent in June after falling 1.0 percent in May. (May’s loss was larger than the 0.7 percent drop ATA reported on June 19.) June’s increase was the largest month-to-month gain in 2012. However, the index contracted a total of 2.1 percent in April and May. The latest gain increased the SA index to 119.0 (2000=100), up from May’s level of 117.5.

Compared with June 2011, the SA index was 3.2 percent higher, the smallest year-over-year increase since March 2012. Year-to-date, com-

pared with the same period last year, tonnage was up 3.7 percent.

The not seasonally adjusted index, which represents the change in tonnage actually hauled by the fleets before any seasonal adjustment, equaled 123.0 in June, which was 0.9 percent below the previous month.

For the second quarter, the SA index was off 0.8 percent from the previous quarter, which was the first decrease in a year.

Compared with the second quarter in 2011, the index was up 3.5 percent.

“June’s increase was a pleasant surprise, but the lower year-over-year gain fits with an economy that has slowed,” ATA Chief Economist Bob Costello said. “Man-

NATSO congratulates Congress for commitment to transportation, Jason’s Law NATSO, the national association representing truckstops and travel plazas, on July 10 congratulated Congress for the long-awaited bipartisan two-year highway reauthorization bill that was signed into law.

The law allocates $105 billion for highway transportation projects, including more funding for truck parking under a section titled “Jason’s Law.” Under the “Jason’s Law” provision, the reauthorization of the federal highway bill funds additional commercial truck parking at facilities that serve the National Highway System.

The law also requires the Department of Transportation (DOT) to assess the volume of truck parking in each state within 18 months and develop a system of metrics to measure the adequacy of truck parking.

“We applaud Congress for enacting this law that will keep critical funds flowing to the highway transportation system and ensure the safety of the traveling public,” said Lisa Mullings, NATSO President and CEO. Mullings specifically congratulated Senate Environment and Public Works Committee Chairwoman Barbara Boxer, House Transportation and Infrastructure Com-

ufacturing output was strong in June, which helped tonnage levels.”

Costello said he’s still concerned about businesses sitting on cash instead of hiring more workers or spending it on capital, both of which would give the economy and tonnage a shot in the arm, as they are worried about Europe and the U.S. fiscal cliff at the end of the year. Costello lowered his tonnage outlook for 2012 to the 3 percent to 3.5 percent range due to recent economic weakness.

Note on the impact of trucking company failures on the index: Each month, ATA asks its membership the amount of tonnage each carrier hauled, including all types of freight. The indexes are calculated

based on those responses. The sample includes an array of trucking companies, ranging from small fleets to multi-billion dollar carriers.

When a company in the sample fails, we include its final month of operation and zero it out for the following month, with the assumption that the remaining carriers pick up that freight.

As a result, it is close to a net wash and does not end up in a false increase.

Nevertheless, some carriers are picking up freight from failures and it may have boosted the index. Due to our correction mentioned above however, it should be limited.

Trucking serves as a barometer of the U.S. economy, representing 67 percent of tonnage

Donna’s Day: creative family fun

by Donna Erickson Slurp and savor tasty mango salsa “The mangoes are falling,” chanted a chorus of excited young schoolkids in Haitian Creole while I navigated a rocky, muddy path in Haiti recently as a program volunteer with global health organization Medical Teams International (www.medicalteams.org). Sure enough, within seconds, a large, rosy-red and orange mango from a canopy of trees overhead landed with a thud right next to me.

I quickly learned the kids’ way of biting into the outer skin (after I washed it), removing it with my fingers and then devouring the fruit slurp by slurp, first one half and then the other. There’s nothing quite as delicious as a tree-ripened mango.

Now in season, beautiful vitamin- and mineral-rich mangoes are available at our local stores at reasonable prices. At snack time, remove the peel with a sharp knife and serve your kids long slices or chunks on a plate. Add other tropical fruits such as pineapple and papaya for additional authentic tastes of the Caribbean.

For a highlight at your next barbecue, dice a mango and toss together with easy-to-find summer ingredients for this fresh and tangy mango salsa. It’s delicious as an accompaniment to grilled chicken breasts or fish such as halibut and salmon. Serve it as a side, or spoon it on top of the chicken and fish. It’s yummy with grilled shrimp, too.

Fresh and tangy mango salsa 1 large, ripe mango, peeled, pitted and diced (about 1 1/2 cups) 1/2 medium red onion, chopped 1 clove garlic, minced 1 small jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped (see note below) 1 small red bell pepper, seeded and chopped 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped 1/4 cup fresh lime juice 3 tablespoons orange juice Salt and cracked pepper to taste In a mixing bowl, gently toss together all ingredients. Serve fresh. Keeps for one day.

Makes about 4 to 6 servings.

Variations: Add a diced avocado.

Note: The juice of jalapeno peppers can be irritating. Wear plastic deli-style gloves when handling. Avoid hand contact with your eyes. (c) 2012 Donna Erickson Distributed by King Features Synd.

Drought stricken crops may be dangerous Silage fermentation may produce several kinds of gas, including carbon dioxide and nitric oxide, which in turn produces nitrogen dioxide.

Carbon dioxide is nonpoisonous, although it can cause suffocation through lack of oxygen.

However, nitrogen dioxide is poisonous. It kills and injures people as

well as livestock.

Nitrogen dioxide is a lethal gas which is yellowish-brown in color and smells like some laundry bleaches. Nitrogen dioxide is heavier than air and will remain at the bottom of air mass over the silage. Shortly after ensiling green plant material oxygen is used up in fermentation and

the nitrates present in the plant are released to form one of the oxides of nitrogen. Normally nitrogen is taken up by plants as nitrate and converted to protein during normal growth. However, when plant growth is retarded by adverse growing conditions, such as prolonged drought, nitrates not converted to protein

accumulate in the plant stems and leaves.

After a drought, rapid nitrate uptake occurs in the plant following rain.

Therefore, harvest the crop before it rains, or wait until at least 5 days after a rain. To reduce the amount of nitrate going into plants for silage, cut higher than normally (e.g.10-12 inches for corn

silage). Most nitrates are deposited in the lower stalk. High levels of nitrates are dangerous for cattle. Always have the nitrate level in your feed tested before feeding.

During silo filling operations, do not go into the silo just to level the silage; instead, make adjustments to the silage distributor to keep the silage leveled during filling.

The danger period for silo gas may be up to a month or more after silo filling. The period of most rapid production is during the first 10 days, starting immediately after material is put into

the silo. During the next 3-4 weeks gas production tapers off. Some gases stay trapped within the silage during the initial storage period, and continue to be squeezed out into the headspace as the silage settles. Always assume silo gas is present until you know positively this is not the case.

Silo ventilation and further information can be found in the Silo Operators Manual distributed by your local silo building company or The International Silo Association office. 920-6553301 or e-mail info@silo.org

the world’s sixth largest economy. ASA now encourages the Senate to take up the bill as quickly as possible, and calls on the House to move forward with a companion bill in order for the U.S. to capitalize on Russia’s accession package to the World Trade Organization (WTO). Importing more than $770 million in meat, poultry, egg and dairy products in 2011, Russia is an important market for the U.S. soy industry.

“Today’s unanimous passage of the draft bill establishing PNTR with Russia is a very encouraging move by the Senate Finance Committee,

and we congratulate Committee Chairman Baucus and Ranking Member Hatch on their work to solidify U.S. business opportunities abroad,” said ASA President Steve Wellman, a soybean farmer from Syracuse, NE. “The demand in Russia for poultry, pork, eggs, dairy products and other items that use soy inputs is already significant and continues to grow as the Russian economy grows. With today’s vote, the U.S. soy industry is one step closer to expanding an already beneficial and positive relationship with a valuable partner.”

The means to help producers impacted by drought

by Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack We have continued to see historic levels of drought grip much of our nation, impacting thousands of farm families.

Although the hard work and innovation of our producers has fueled a strong farm economy in recent years, President Obama and I understand the major challenges this drought poses for American agriculture.

As of July 20, the U.S. Department of Agriculture has designated 1,055 counties across the country as disaster areas due to drought.

Significant portions of many crops are impacted — for example, according to the most recent U.S. Drought Monitor report, 88 percent of our nation’s corn and 87 percent of our soybeans are in drought-stricken areas. Rising grain prices are threatening livestock and dairy operators with high input costs.

Our farmers and ranchers are no strangers to uncertainty — but it’s even harder to plan for the future when we don’t know how much more severe the drought will be.

Over the years, American producers have constantly innovated to meet new demands and adapt to new conditions, embracing new methods and utilizing new technology. The same innovative spirit that has positioned American agriculture as a global leader has helped to reduce the impact of the drought.

Nevertheless, the uncertainty of drought means this is a very difficult time for many. At President Obama’s direction, USDA is doing all it can within the Department’s existing authority to help.

Recently, I announced a final rule to simplify the process for Secretarial disaster designations — both to speed the process for producers and to reduce the burden on State government officials, who are also hard at work to help producers around the country cope with this disaster.

I reduced the interest rate for Farm Service Agency Emergency Loans, effectively lower-

ing the current rate from 3.75 percent to 2.25 percent to help ensure that credit is available for farm families who are hit by drought.

And finally, I announced that USDA has lowered payment reductions for Conservation Reserve Program lands that qualify for emergency haying and grazing in 2012, from 25 to 10 percent.

USDA officials are traveling to states around the country to see firsthand the impact of the drought, and we will continue to look for ways to help. But the fact is USDA’s legal authority to provide assistance remains limited right now.

That’s because the 2008

Farm Bill disaster programs, which were implemented under President Obama, expired last year. Prior to the expiration, these programs helped hundreds of thousands of U.S. producers during disasters.

If Congress doesn’t act, USDA will remain limited in our means to help drought-stricken producers. That’s why President Obama and I continue to call on Congress to take steps to ensure that USDA has the tools it needs to help farm families during the drought. Disaster assistance for producers is also one of many reasons why we need swift action

by Congress to pass a Food, Farm and Jobs Bill this year.

www.leepub.com

I know that many producers are struggling today with the impact of this historic drought.

The President and I are committed to doing all

we can to help farmers and ranchers in this difficult time.

As all of us across America hope for rainfall, and while USDA does all

it can to assist America’s farmers, ranchers and rural communities, I hope that Congress will do all it can to help us get the job done.

NCGA statement on the drought and the Renewable Fuel Standard cents — of every dollar spent on food at the grocery store. Look at corn, for example, which even at its current price is an inexpensive food ingredient. The corn in a box of Corn Flakes only costs about a dime, and there’s just over a quarter’s worth of corn in a pound of beef.

“When it comes to the Renewable Fuel Standard for ethanol and other biofuels, now is not the time for changes. It’s working.

The RFS is revitalizing rural America, reducing our dependence on foreign fuel and reducing the cost of gasoline.

Making changes to the RFS now would only ensure that consumers suffer due to significantly higher fuel prices.

“And while it is true that our corn crop is suffering, it’s still in the field. We won’t know the actual size of the 2012 corn crop until months from now. In the meantime, the market is working. All corn users are responding to market signals. Ethanol production and exports are down. In addition, there is currently an ethanol surplus in the United States that will further reduce demand on the 2012 corn crop.

“Given the challenges of the drought and suffering of all farmers, now more than ever, U.S. agriculture needs to pull together. NCGA will continue to help lead the way in trying to unite, rather than divide, American agriculture.”

WASHINGTON, D.C. — National Corn Growers Association President Garry Niemeyer released the following statement in response to media coverage and Capitol briefings on the drought, food prices and the Renewable Fuel Standard.

“This is a time when farmers and ranchers are suffering the nation’s worst drought in years, covering nearly twothirds of our country’s land mass. Like any crisis, it has led to numerous inaccuracies and exaggerations, especially when it comes to the impact on food supply and retail food prices.

“Yesterday at the White House, USDA Secretary Tom Vilsack noted that farmers only receive a fraction — about 14

Forest owners applaud Supreme Court decision to review forest roads case WASHINGTON, D.C. — The National Alliance of Forest Owners (NAFO) responded enthusiastically to news that the U.S. Supreme Court will review the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit Court’s ruling in NEDC v. Brown. The Ninth Circuit ruled last year that forest roads are “point sources” of water pollution requiring industrial discharge permits typically applied to factories and sewage plants, a decision that overturns EPA’s 35 years of successful regulation of forest roads under the Clean Water Act.” “The Supreme Court’s decision to review this case is a welcome development for forest landowners across America, who for 35 years have contributed to one of the nation’s best success stories under the Clean Water Act,” said Dave Tenny, NAFO President and CEO. “It validates the opinions of the Solicitor General, 29 state attorneys general and forest owners and

operators across the country who all agree that the Ninth Circuit’s decision was wrong.”

Although the Solicitor General in his May 24 brief to the Supreme Court acknowledged that the Ninth Circuit ruling was wrong, he recommended the Court not review the case urging that “the complex regulatory issues can be addressed more definitively and in a more nuanced fashion by Congress and [EPA].”

Congress and the Administration joined forest owners to support EPA’s historical treatment of forestry and forest roads as non-point sources by taking action last December in the Fiscal Year 2012 Consolidated Appropriations Act. The effort, achieved with bipartisan support in both the Senate and House, prevented the Ninth Circuit’s misinterpretation of the Clean Water Act from taking effect but expires Sept. 30.

“The Supreme Court’s decision raises a significant question regarding

the need for further administrative action by the EPA pending a final decision by the Court,” Tenny continued. “At this point undertaking an administrative process without knowing the legal context would be a questionable use of time and resources.”

EPA began an administrative process on May 23 to address the Ninth Circuit’s ruling and maintain the agency’s longstanding practice of using Best Management Practices* rather than permits to regulate rainwater runoff from forest roads. EPA has not yet introduced a proposed rule, which has cast doubt on whether the agency would complete a rulemaking before the Sept. 30 expiration of legislation. A final EPA rule would be challengeable directly to the Ninth Circuit, inviting a continuation of the litigation cycle.

Shortly after the CWA was enacted in 1972, the EPA recognized forest management activities as non-point sources

most effectively regulated under state administered best management practices (BMPs). BMPs are designed to adapt to

a diversity of forest conditions across a broad landscape and provide flexibility to address concerns if and when they

arise. The success of BMPs enables the EPA to rank forestry as a “minor contributor” to sediment runoff.

Unconfirmed Report: It’s So Hot Dairy Cows Are Producing

Powdered Milk Issued July 20, 2012 June Dairy Month milk production in the

top 23 producing states slipped to 15.5 billion pounds, according to USDA’s preliminary estimate, up 1 percent from June 2011. The 50-state total, at 16.67 billion pounds, was up 0.9 percent. Revisions lowered the May 23-state estimate to 16.4 billion, down 22 million pounds from the original esti-

mate but still 1.9 percent above a year ago.

Cow numbers totaled 8.51 million head in the 23 states, down 14,000 from May but 57,000 more than a year ago.

Output per cow averaged 1,827 pounds, up 7 from a year ago.

California was up only 0.3 percent from a year ago despite having

14,000 more cows, but output per cow was down 10 pounds as cooperative quota programs are keeping a lid on output.

Contrast that to Wisconsin, up 2.5 percent on 6,000 more cows and a 35 pound per cow gain.

Hot weather will surely change that picture next month and that won’t be an exaggeration.

July 30, 2012 • COUNTRY FOLKS New England • Section B - Page 11

Idaho was up 1.5 percent on a 30 pound gain per cow. Cow numbers were unchanged. New York was up 1.4 percent, thanks to a 25 pound gain per cow. Pennsylvania was down 1.9 percent on a 10 pound loss per cow and 7,000 fewer cows.

Minnesota was off 0.3 percent on 3,000 fewer cows.

Output per cow was up 5 pounds however.

Other states of interest; Michigan was up 3.6 percent on 12,000 more cows and a 5 pound gain per cow. New Mexico was down 1.9 percent, despite 4,000 more cows but output per cow was down 65 pounds. Texas was down 2.2 percent. Cow numbers were up 6,000 head but output per cow was down 65 pounds.

The latest Livestock Slaughter report shows an estimated 229,200 culled dairy cows were slaughtered under federal inspection in June, down 22,100 from May, but 10,100 more than June 2011. Through the first six months of 2012, cull cow slaughter totaled 1.523 million head, up 65,500 from 2011.

USDA’s July 13 Dairy Market News reports that milk production and tests in all regions are declining but adequate milk was still available to cheese makers and some increase in fortification has been noted.

Cash cheese prices moved higher the first two days of the week of July 16 but then gave some back, closing Friday at $1.7175 per pound for the blocks, up 3 3/4-cents on the week but still 43 3/4-cents below a year ago when the blocks jumped almost a dime and peaked for the year at $2.1550. The barrels closed Friday at $1.6950, up 1 1/2-cents and 43 cents below a year ago. Only two cars of block traded hands on the week and six of barrel. The AMS-surveyed U.S. average block price inched up to $1.644, up 0.2 cent from the previous week, while the barrels averaged $1.6925, up 1.3 cents.

Retail demand is still generally considered to be good, according to USDA, but export demand is slowing. Domestic cheese prices are making U. S. cheese less

Mielke from B11 favorable in the global market. Still, May exports of cheese and curd totaled 61.6 million pounds, up 43 percent from last year. Cumulative exports for the first five months of the year totaled 258.4 million pounds, up 18 percent from last year and exports accounted for 5.7 percent of total cheese production for the period.

Summer heat/humidity and record setting temperatures are being reported in many regions coast to coast. These conditions are significantly impacting cow comfort and milk output.

In most all areas, milk handlers are reporting noticeable declines in milk intakes and butterfat levels. Some areas of the Midwest reported declines up to 20 percent compared to the previous week.

The lack of moisture is plaguing crops as well.

Milk producers are concerned about feed prices with the recent announcement that grain yield estimates for corn and soybeans were reduced 12 and 7.7 per-

cent respectively.

Spot butter finished the week at $1.59, up 4 cents, but 45 cents below a year ago. One car was sold on the week.

AMS butter averaged $1.5392, up 3.4 cents.

Cream markets are firm as butterfat levels on incoming milk decline.

Class II operations are in full production following the holiday. Resumed Class II demand and lower overall cream availability are limiting cream volumes to the churn and churning schedules have eased as cream supplies and butterfat declines.

The lighter churning activity often did not keep pace with demand, thus many producers and handlers were reaching into inventoried stock to fulfill orders.

Butter demand is good in many areas of the country. Retail butter ads have prices ranging from $1.59 in the Midwest to $3.49 in Northeast and Southeast.

Food service orders are holding at good levels.

Mielke from B12 tinues to rise. Producer margins could improve as feed costs fall. Milk and product prices remain steady as continued exports offset production gains.” But, hot weather is changing that by the hour.

The June milk cow number was raised to 9.2 million head for the current year and remains unchanged at 9.17 million for 2013.

While some dairy herd liquidation is expected, the improved feed outlook may improve pro-

ducer margins enough to moderate the expected decline in dairy herd size this year.

Crop and pasture conditions continue to worsen throughout the country, according to the July 18 Daily Dairy Report (DDR), and counties adversely affected by the unrelenting heat and dryness mount by the day. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack met with President Barack Obama on the situation.

USDA added 39 counties from eight states to

the growing list of disaster areas. The DDR said “Vilsack recognizes that grain farmers have access to crop insurance, which according to historical figures will compensate them for more than 70 percent of their losses; however, the nation’s livestock producers have no such protection and could be faced with tremendous burdens in coming months.

At this point in the growing season, though, USDA cannot do much.

He said “There is no

need to go to the EPA for [an] ethanol waiver at this time.”

Thunderstorms brought rain to the northern Corn Belt Wednesday and more storms were expected Thursday in the eastern Corn Belt as the intensity of heat eases, according to FC Stone’s July 19 eDairy Insider Opening Bell. “However, widespread continued hot, dry weather and forecasts for little relief into mid-August supported grain futures overnight.”

exports. The DDR says U.S. exports of nonfat dry milk/skim milk powder (NDM/SMP) topped 100 million pounds in May, the highest monthly NDM/SMP export volume since October 2010 and the fourth time they exceeded 100 million pounds. But, it admits that NDM/SMP prices averaged near $1.10 per pound in the West, the lowest price since early 2010.

Mexico is the largest market for U.S.-produced NDM/SMP, according to the DDR, accounting for 44 percent of exports in May and 42 percent year -todate. Mexico imported 43.8 million pounds of NDM/SMP in May, followed by the Philippines at 9.1 million pounds, and Vietnam with 7.9 million.

The DDR adds that “U.S. exporters have worked diligently to maintain key markets in the face of rising global production. As a result, NDM/SMP stocks, while higher than the prior year, are being held with confidence.”

Cooperatives Working Together (CWT) accepted seven requests for export assistance this week to

Price wise; the Agriculture Department announced the August Federal order Class I base milk price at $16.55 per hundredweight (cwt.), up $1.04 from July but $4.88 below a year ago.

That equates to about $1.42 per gallon and raised the 2012 Class I average to $16.37, down from $18.91 at this time a year ago, and compares to $14.74 in 2010 and $10.95 in 2009. The University of Wisconsin’s Dr. Brian Gould predicts dairy producers will receive an MILC payment of about $1.2688 per cwt., based on July 18 data.

The AMS-surveyed butter price averaged $1.5246 per pound, up 14.8 cents from July.

Nonfat dry milk averaged $1.1588, up 5.8 cents.

Cheese averaged $1.6781, up 10.8 cents, and dry whey averaged 49.44 cents, down 1.1 cent.

Looking “back to the futures;” the last half 2012 Federal order Class III milk prices were averaging $15.96 per cwt. on June 1, $16.53 on June 8, $16.59 on June 15, $17.01 on June 22, $17.40 on June 29, $17.49 on July 6, $18.29 on July 13, and was trading around $18.45 late morning July 20.

Mielke from B13 sell a total of 10 million pounds of butter and Cheddar cheese to customers in Asia, North Africa and the Middle East. The product will be delivered through December and raised CWT’s 2012 cheese exports to 66.6 million pounds plus 54.8 million pounds of butter and anhydrous milk fat. eDairy’s July 18 Insider Opening Bill reported that this week’s GlobalDairyTrade saw the trade-weighted average for all products fall 0.9 percent from the July 3 prices. Across all contract periods, prices for butter milk powder rose 7.2 percent, skim milk powder gained 5.2 percent, anhydrous milk fat increased 3.3 percent, and milk protein concentrate added 2.4 percent.

Prices fell 5.8 percent for whole milk powder, 2.9 percent for cheddar cheese, and 1.8 percent for rennet casein.

FC Stone market analyst Tim Harvey said “There’s some bullish

room left in the short term.” “Increasing demand from China is pushing up near-term prices.”

The July 17 DDR warned; “These results continue to point to a widening gap between U.S. spot product prices and international prices, suggesting markets will need to reconcile the discrepancies in the coming weeks.”

Dairy Profit Weekly (DPW) reports that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has withdrawn its proposed Clean Water Act (CWA) Section 308 CAFO (Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations). The proposal had sparked controversy within the livestock agriculture community, which charged it was a serious overreach of EPA’s authority, and put the nation’s food security at risk.

Instead of the proposed rule, EPA said it would collect CAFO information using existing sources of information,

including state NPDES programs and other programs at the federal, state, and local level to help ensure CAFOs are implementing practices that protect water quality. EPA’s final action does not require CAFOs or states to submit information to EPA. EPA’s withdrawal of this proposal does not change which CAOs need permits under NPDES. Livestock agriculture organizations expressed concern the database could provide extremists with access to the information with the intent to do harm to livestock operations or the nation’s food system. Non-compliance with the proposed rule would have been a violation of the CWA, which would have resulted in fines of up to $37,500 per day, according to DPW.

USDA drought actions will help farmers, ranchers WASHINGTON, D.C. — The American Farm Bureau Federation expressed appreciation for a series of emergency actions announced by Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack to provide muchneeded assistance to America’s farm and ranch families suffering from the drought gripping much of the nation.

While the announcement will help many farmers and ranchers, there are areas of the United States that may require expedited assistance due to established grazing prohibitions.

These prohibitions would prevent grazing until the nutritional value of the grazing plants has totally been diminished by the drought, according to

AFBF. For many farmers and ranchers, however, the USDA actions will result in immediate flexibility in the nation’s major conservation programs, related to haying, grazing and livestock watering.

The actions will help provide crucial assistance to hard-hit livestock producers. Vilsack also said he has additional plans to call on crop insurance companies to provide “a short grace period” since some farmers may struggle to pay insurance premiums at the close of this crop year.

“The drought has reached crisis proportions in certain parts of the country and this flexibility will provide a measure of assistance for

the farm and ranch families who need it,” said AFBF President Bob Stallman. “We appreciate the responsiveness and understanding exhibited

by Secretary Vilsack during this drought-related emergency, and we are hopeful he will consider additional action for spe-

cific areas of the nation where additional grazing prohibitions are in place.”

According to Stallman, feed prices have increased significantly over the last month and available feeding and grazing land is becoming depleted, putting more stress

on cattle producers. A record 54 percent of pasture and rangeland is in poor or very poor condition. Some farmers and ranchers have already begun to liquidate their livestock herds.

This is the most widespread drought in more than half a century, with

more than 55 percent of the continental United States under moderate to extreme drought conditions.

The National Weather Service has forecast increasingly dry conditions over much of the nation’s breadbasket, showing no reprieve in the near future.

ATA seeks nominations for America’s Road Team The American Trucking Associations is seeking nominations for professional truck drivers to serve on the 2013-2014 America’s Road Team.
