Raising sheep for meat

Page 2 - Section A • COUNTRY FOLKS West • July 16, 2012

by Sanne Kure-Jensen The New Entry Sustainable Farming Project, in partnership with the Tufts Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine in North Grafton, MA offers Sheep School each June. Experienced Cummings School staff including two veterinarians, a herdsman and a sheep farmer lead an all day, hands-on, field school. Participants learn practical skills for raising sheep including: managing meat and wool enterprises, overseeing a breeding program, assessing sheep health, appropriate handling and facilities as well as feed and pasture management. Leaders also trained participants in sheep tipping, hoof trimming, quick-release knots and other hands-on skills.

Customers and marketing Eighty percent of U.S. lamb consumption is within 75 miles of the east and west coast. European customers are the largest consumers of lamb in the world.

Tufts’ 100-pound (live weight) animals are sold to local restaurants when the sheep are about five months old. Their market does not demand weaning or castration.

Selling lambs at 100 pounds means Tufts has no need to wean lambs or castrate rams. Tufts Herdsman, Scott Brundage of Tufts University Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine recommends a precaution when rams get close to puberty at five to six months old. This prevents them fighting and injuring each other or trying to impregnate their mom or sisters. If you plan to have rams longer or do not have space for separation, castrate rams young when they are one to two weeks old. If docking tails, use an electric tail docker to cauterize, and there will be almost no blood or risk of infection.

Body scoring Veterinarian, Rosario DelgadoLecaroz of Country Veterinary Services in Upton, MA demonstrated three

points to check on a sheep: the shoulders, spinal process and the lumbar region. A large or fat sheep is considered a 5. A skinny, boney sheep should receive a score of 1. The ideal range is 2.5 to 3.5. Late in pregnancy, 3.5 to 4 is a good score; nursing lamb(s) will quickly milk off any excess fat.

Delgado-Lecaroz said sheep with body scores greater than 3 were at elevated risk of developing Ketosis during pregnancy and losing their lamb. She said if sheep smell sweet, run a blood test to confirm this diagnosis and treat accordingly.

For consistency, farmers should assign one person to score their animals and note changes. Watch carefully for changes in body scoring in late pregnancy. By the time most people call the vet with toxemia concerns, it is too late for the mother and/or the lamb.

Healthy sheep are “B A R” said Brundage; they are Bright, Alert and Responsive. Risks of illness rise with poor diet, management or daily care.

Risk factors include genetics, reproductive problems, transportation stress and extreme weather. Watch for drool, skin discharges, lumps/bumps/ bruises, behavioral changes or breeding problems.

Breeding and breed selection Tufts raises herds of pure Dorset and Tunis heritage sheep as breeders.

The Dorsets are great moms and high milk producers; they produce low quality wool. The Tunis sheep used as rams tend to be smaller and fatter.

Their blended offspring are raised for meat, and lambs are sold to restaurants. Selling lambs early means limited input and grain costs and hence, greater profits. This can work for other farmers as long as it is cheaper to feed the mom (net of pasture, hay and grain) than to feed grain to the lambs.

Intensive grazing is required for this model. In extended droughts, the pastures may need to be irrigated.

Scott Brundage described common equipment and management practices.

Slow Food/Weston Price class on cultured dairy products and raw milk

by Judy Van Put Recently, the Slow Food/Weston Price class of the Upper Delaware Chapter held a class at Hills Country Inn, Callicoon, NY. Hosted by Maria Grimaldi and Lucia RuedenbergWright, (Chapter Leader) the class, which was to be a hands-on forum for learning how to make butter, cheese, yogurt and other cultured dairy products, branched out as dairy farmers and others with agricultural interests from both the Pennsylvania and New York side of the Delaware River gathered together and discussed raw milk — its benefits and marketing.

Jennifer Mall, Agricultural Planner from the Sullivan County (New York) Division of Planning and Environmental Management, told the group about the Mobile Cheesemaking Unit (MCU) she helped spearhead. The mobile cheesemaking unit is, in essence, a dairy plant built inside a 12 x 36 foot trailer. It was developed using funds from Northeast Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education ((SARE) and various local agencies, which worked with local farmers to design and build an affordable, functional, mobile cheese plant that could be moved around to area farms to enable those farmers to learn the art of cheese making. As the demand for local and artisanal cheeses was increasing, the broader outcome was to capitalize on this demand and connect the small local dairy farms directly with these markets.

The MCU traveled to the Tonjes dairy farm, where it remained for three years. Mary and Tim Tonjes learned to make cheese and yogurt to sell in the

MCU; as they expanded their product line, they found their business starting to take off, and built a cheese cave on their farm, as they no longer required the use of the unit. It was moved to another dairy farm for approximately two and one half years, and has now moved on again, becoming very popular with Sullivan County dairy farms.

A discussion on raw milk followed, during which Maria passed around a few gallons of the milk with paper cups for all to sample. Dirie’s Dairy Farm, Livingston Manor, NY and Hardler Farms LLC, Honesdale, PA, provided the milk.

Lucia described the benefits of raw milk in a healthy diet, as the cream in the whole milk provides important fatsoluble vitamins that are difficult to duplicate. The process of homogenizing milk involves passing it through fine filters at tremendous pressure, which causes the milk fat globules to bbreak apart. In the process, proteins that would normally be digested in the stomach or gut are not broken down, and are absorbed into the bloodstream. Some researchers have asserted that after getting into the bloodstream, these proteins attach themselves to the artery walls and can promote hardening of the arteries and heart disease.

Mike Hardler, of Hardler Farms, Honesdale, PA, joined the class with his two youngest children, and proceeded to lead a discussion on producing and marketing raw milk. He began by explaining how he transitioned from a traditional dairy farm which he purchased from his father in 2003; to one that milks 24 cows of mostly Heritage

butter, yogurt, ricotta with fresh fruits; along with salad and home-baked breads.

The afternoon ended with a trip into the kitchen, with a hands-on demonstration by Lucia Ruedenberg-Wright on how to make cultured milk products, such as butter, simple cheeses, yogurt and kefir at home.

Members of the Slow Foods class sampled raw milk in the Weston Price Upper Delaware Chapter class on Cultured Dairy products held at Hills Resort, Callicoon Center, NY.

breeds: Line Backs, Jerseys, Ayrshire, Dutch Belt and Normandys. The heritage breeds were chosen because they are “easier to maintain. They’re good at grazing, they’re a lot healthier and they’re better for management.” His herd has evolved over the years and is hormone- and antibiotic-free. In addition, Mike and his family raise goats, a mixed breed of Nubian, Alpine and Toggenburgs.

Hardler Farms is licensed to provide both raw cow milk and raw goat milk; their bottling license has allowed them to sell their raw milk products in markets and supermarkets located in Honesdale, Hawley, Milford, Carbondale and other Pennsylvania locations, right alongside the ‘name’ brands of homogenized and pasteurized containers of milk and milk products.

Mike relies heavily on his family — his four children, his Dad, his fatherin-law and a cousin, among others — in order to meet his busy schedule of producing and marketing his products, and stated that in order to be a direct marketer, such as to the farmer’s markers or on-farm customers, the raw milk producer needs to be a “people-person” and be able to talk with his customers one-on one.

In New York State, however, raw milk can only be sold on the farm; and the opportunities for purchasing raw milk here in New York are limited. With a growing demand for raw milk, hopefully laws will be changed and New York will adapt laws similar to those in neighboring Pennsylvania.

The group was treated to a delicious lunch made up of locally-produced foods and raw milk products — cheese,

Belted Galloway Cow named “Domino”

Robert J. Bondi and family, who own and operate a beef farm in Pulteney, NY, in Steuben County, is pleased to submit these photos of their Belted Galloway heifer which is named “Domino”. Their neighbor and good friend, Mrs. Muriel Goslee, who passed recently, witnessed the birth of this heifer four years ago and suggested this name after the game design.

Domino is the only cow the Bondis have ever had which exhibits this marking.

Children have taken a liking to Domino.

If you have an animal that sports unusual markings, Country Folks would like to print your photo in a future edition. E-mail photos to cfeditor@leepub.com or mail them to Another view of “Domino”.

Senator Gillibrand effectively represents the interests of New York farmers in Washington, D.C. Recently the U.S. Department of Labor’s proposed revision of child labor regulations on U.S. farms was defeated by an agricultural community already worried about severe farm labor shortages and marginal profits.

In the midst of this high profile debate over labor laws and government regulation, Senator Gillibrand has been working quietly to preserve a more intelligent solution to the health and safety issues of New York farmers.

Recent proposed budget cuts included elimination of the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health’s Agriculture, Forestry and Fishing (NIOSH AFF) Program. This program focuses on collaborating with the farm community, private industry and advocacy groups to identify convenient and affordable solutions to agricultural hazards using regional centers like the New York Center for Agricultural Medicine and Health (NYCAMH). For these centers, partnership is the name

of the game, not regulation. A good example of a NIOSH AFF program is the popular NY ROPS Rebate Program, which provides logistical and costsharing assistance to farmers interested in installing roll-over protective structures, vs. imposing laws that simply require farmers to install ROPS. Thanks to the notable leadership of Senator Gillibrand and several other New York representatives, the termination of the NIOSH AFF program and the switch to a singularly regulatory approach has been avoided. As Senator Gillibrand has masterfully demonstrated, there is an effective solution for most problems if we will only take the time to consider it thoughtfully. This is further evidence of her determination to effectively represent the interests of New York farmers in Washington.

The New England National Brown Swiss Sale averages $5,831 A patriotic stage in the Breeding Barn at historic Shelburne Farms, Shelburne, VT, provided the setting for this year’s National Sale and concluded The National Convention activities.

Seventy-four lots averaged $5,831 and sold into 12 states and Colombia, South America.

Topping the day at $20,000 was Blessing Bonanza Francie “E92/ 32,700m”, an All American and fifth generation “EX”, consigned by Blessing Farms, Fort Wayne, IN. Looking like a contender for this fall, Francie was taken by Richman Farms and Starmark Farms, Lodi, Ohio. The contending syndicate was represented by Jerry Harkness, breeder of the foundation for this impressive family.

Second high seller was the much talked about junior two year old prospect, Renegade Titanium Sonya ET. After spirited bidding, Ken Main and Peter Vail of Copake, NY added her to their impressive Elite string at $19,700. Sutton Rucks, Okeechobee, FL was the final contender with Wayne Sliker and Jayson Garrett, St. Paris, Ohio the consignors.

Next in line on the high seller’s list, Dublin Hills Sorina was the crowd pleasing senior two year old sired by Old Mill TA Starsky ET. She also headed for Elite Dairy and sports a deep Snow Storm pedigree developed by her consignors, Dublin Hills Farm, Woodsboro, MD. Contending bidders for

Sorina were Frank and Susan Caverly.

Hills Valley Farm, Cattaraugus, NY provided the fourth high seller with Hills Valley Tray Phoenix commanding $17,400 from Brooke M. Clark of GMC Farm, Cornish Flat, NH. Phoenix is a “VG88/2y” Tray daughter with over 1200 F at 2 years and a deep pedigree from the Priscilla family.

The “Pick of Shelburne” was a feature of the sale with Elite Dairy out bidding Bruce Dearborn to gain rights in choosing from the entire Shelburne Herd. At a $12,000 price tag, Ken and Peter selected Shelburne Dusty Elizabeth, a great framed junior three year old from 3 “Excellent” dams representing the strong Elizabeth family at Shelburne.

The highest selling heifer of the sale, Top Acres Wonder Bamby ET, was consigned by Bob Gould, Sale Chairman, and Bruce Dearborn, Convention Finance Director. Bamby is a large and fancy Wonderment daughter from five generations of “Excellent” dams from the “B’s” and is now the property of Gerrit DeBruin, Lake Mills, WI after selling for $11,200.

The New England National Sale was managed by Modern Associates, Wayne and Connie Sliker of St. Paris, Ohio. Darrell Worden was auctioneer for the day and was assisted in the ring and on the phones by Brian Garrison, Lee Barber, Dave Wallace and Gordon DeMay.

Crop Comments

by Paris Reidhead Field Crops Consultant (Contact: renrock46@hotmail.com)

Finding standing water In his July on-line newsletter called Crop Soil News, Tom Kilcer’s headline reads: “Plagues, Heat, Drought, What is Next?”

Tom is a retired agronomy extension agent who started a consulting firm called Advanced Ag Systems. Myself, I was hoping that with the armyworm attacks this spring, maybe potato leafhoppers would spare us. For most of the Northeast that didn’t happen. The damage and effect of potato leafhoppers intensify with summer weather.

The end results of such pests in alfalfa are reduced yield, less quality, and lowered stand persistence. Potato leafhoppers are native to North America. They are small, bright green, wedgeshaped, sucking insects.

Both adults and nymphs remove plant sap and inject toxic saliva as they feed, with toxins causing “hopper-burn”. They re-

ally like to attack alfalfa.

(Sometimes they even attack potatoes.)

Typical symptoms include a bronzing or hopper-burn on plants. The bronzing of alfalfa plants has been mistaken for summer drought or a nutrient deficiency, particularly boron. With hopper-burn, a Vshaped yellowing is seen on the edges of leaves; usually the yellow is accompanied by pink or light purple discoloration; boron deficiency only causes the yellow symptom, as well as shrimpy-looking alfalfa leaflets. These insects are carried up by spring storms from the Gulf Coast (where they overwinter), often hitching a ride with the jet-stream.

There can be several overlapping leafhopper generations per summer.

Upon noticing the hopper-burn color signs, it’s too late to spray, as the first-growth vegetation is stunted for the season.

Harvest what hay there

is. Since regrowth won’t likely be hit by these tiny insects, spraying may not be necessary.

However, with the regional (if not national) forage situation approaching crisis level… and I hate the word crisis… spraying the alfalfa stubble may prove to be a cheap insurance premium (generally less than $3 per acre for spray materials). As to whether crop growers are being unusually hard hit by “bugs” this year, I think what we’re experiencing is a little worse than normal luck

Ideal? No, but most of us try to play the “hand of cards” we’re dealt.

Tom has given Advanced Ag Systems the motto, “It is the crops that feed the cows that make the milk which creates the money.” The idea of baling standing water was mine, not Tom’s. However, he and I shared a practical fondness for sorghum, Sudan grass, and their hybrids; I add millet to that

The present cropping season will be one where growers look for standing hay on other people’s land (hoping it’s for sale). Will it be high quality feed?

Let me answer that with another question: what’s the feed value of a snowball? I’ve put together lots of rations with midJuly-cut grass hay.

of the draw. Dawn and Buddy Richardson, who crop 2,000 acres in Oneida County (New York), feel that armyworms launch a massive attack on them every seven or eight years. In their farm supply business (including grain sales) last year, they had stocked up heavily on insecticides to kill leafhoppers. Due to very low leafhopper numbers in 2011, they sold (and used) very little bugkiller… but they’re selling, and using, these insecticides in 2012.

Crop from A6 list. Around the Fourth of July, Tom observed that sorghum in his plots, with no rain for three weeks, was still growing; while the corn, planted at nearly the same time, was rolled

tight from the lack of water (some people refer to the corn as firing or spiking). Sorghum will produce a ton of dry matter on half the water it takes corn to produce that ton. Sorghum can

also grow at much higher temperatures while corn shuts down above 86 degrees. But caution: sorghum species do not like cool weather; millet is little more tolerant of the coolness.

For growing regions which expect first fall frost on or after Sept.

15, it’s okay to plant the 83 day brown-mid-rib sorghum… if you do so within 48 hours of receiving this newspaper.

Actually, one year a fellow whom I advised (still do) planted a sorghum/forage soybean mix on July 28, and killer frost hit exactly two months later.

Within 36 hours of the frost, he had roundbaled this crop (I believe we called it sorbean). I calculated that this blend had yielded three tons of dry matter per acre in 62 days… not bad. The later you plant, the less the yield potential and the later it matures. The big advantage is that it will almost cer-

tainly capture more dry matter yield per acre than any other summer crop. Sorghums and Sudan grasses were developed in the sub-Saharan region of Africa known as the Sahel. The Sahel receives about 10 inches of rain per year, which is why these African summer annuals can handle drought as well as they do.

Let’s crunch some numbers. Dawn just told me this (Tuesday) morning that shell corn on the Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT) just cleared $8 per bushel. If an 18 ton corn silage crop (a typical yield per acre), normally contains 150 bushels of shell corn, then that crop is worth $1,200 per acre, with no value assigned

to the stover in the silage; even so that corn silage weighs in at $67 per ton. Let’s take the three ton dry matter per acre yield, that I mentioned earlier, just as an example for the “sorbean”.

Assume the sorghum is 37.5 percent dry matter, and thus we end up with eight tons of balage per acre. I figure that these grass summer annuals support about five percent less milk per pound of dry matter than corn silage. So each acre of sorghum (and/or its related hybrids) is worth about $507 per acre… not bad for 60-75 days of growth performance when nothing else has enough water.

If you think we have it bad in the Northeast in terms of moisture shortage, the corn belt has it much worse, and that fact (i.e., lousy corn harvest forecast) is what ran shell corn price so high on the CBOT. So, if you raise ruminants, it’s wise to plant BMR sorghum (or one its African cousins) real soon; also harvest some “standing water”, and present your nutritionist the chance to earn his keep by tying all this stuff together.

Coined a “miracle fruit,” the unassuming apple stunned a team of researchers at the Florida State University. They found that eating two apples a day for six months can reduce artery-blocking LDL by 23 percent.

According to Bahram H. Arjmandi, Ph. D., director for the Center for Advancing Exercise and Nutrition Research on Aging at the Florida State University, “I buy a bag a week and try to eat two per day. I am convinced this is what I should do if I want to remain healthy.”

According to the U.S. Apple Association (USApple), mounting research suggests that powerful antioxidants in apples and apple products may play an essential role in reducing the risk of many of the world’s most prevalent diseases, including cancer and Alzheimer’s disease.

To encourage consumers to eat even more apples, USApple offers the following ”Delicious Duos,” teaming apples and apple products with other powerhouse ingredients that help support specific health and nutrition goals.

Superfood Duo: Apples + Salmon Benefit: Helps ward off heart disease In the study conducted at the Florida State University, women who ate apples experienced a 23 percent decrease in LDL “bad” cholesterol, and a 3 to 4 percent increase in their HDL “good” cholesterol — “a boost difficult to achieve with drugs or exercise,” says Arjmandi, who led the study. Combine the power of apples with good-cholesterol-raising omega-3-rich salmon in

this Apple Balsamic Salmon dish.

Apple-Balsamic Salmon Yield: 4 servings Prep Time: 25 minutes Baking Time: 8 to 12 minutes Special Tools: 4 12-inch-long pieces parchment paper 4 4-ounce skinless salmon fillets, 3/4 to 1 inch thick 1/4-1 teaspoon fine sea salt (normal table salt can be used) 1/4 cup apple jelly 2 teaspoons aged balsamic vinegar 3/4 cup julienne-cut, unpeeled, Granny Smith or other green apple (1/4 x 1 1/2-inch-long slivers) 3/4 cup julienne-cut, unpeeled Fuji or other reddish apple (1/4 x 1 1/2inch-long slivers) 1/3 cup very thin sliced and quartered leek (white and light green portion only) Rice pilaf (optional) Course-ground black pepper 1. Preheat oven to 450° F. Fold each piece of paper crosswise in half. Cut 4 half-heart shapes 7 inches longer and 4 inches wider than the fillets (the folded edges will be the centers of the hearts).

Open each paper or foil heart; set aside.

2. Lightly sprinkle salmon with 1/4 teaspoon salt. Place each fillet near the center on one side of each heart.

3. Heat apple jelly over low heat or in a microwave oven just until melted.

Remove from heat; stir in balsamic vinegar. Spoon mixture evenly over fillets. Toss together apples and leek.

Place mixture evenly on top of fillets.

4. Fold opposite side of each heart up and over the fish and apple mixture.

Starting at top of heart, fold edges to seal open sides by making small tight folds. Twist tip of hearts to close packets. Place packets on baking sheet.

Bake in preheated oven for 8 to 12 minutes until fish flakes easily. (Carefully open packets to check doneness.)

5. To serve, cut packets open by slashing a large X on the top of each, then fold back paper. Transfer packets to dinner plates and serve with rice. Or, if desired, remove fish with apples from packets and place slightly on top of rice; spoon over juices. Season to taste with additional salt and the pepper.

Recipe Note: This recipe makes enough balsamicapple juice for serving over a rice or barley pilaf. If you prefer less juice, decrease the apple jelly to 3 tablespoons and balsamic vinegar to 1 1/2 teaspoons.

Superfood Duo: Apples + Oats Benefit: Helps improve brain health A clinical trial found that that consuming two 4-ounce servings of apple juice daily significantly improved mood and behavior among a group of patients diagnosed with moderate-to-severe Alzheimer’s disease. Also, Cornell University research suggests that quercetin may be the compound in apples that protects brain cells against oxidative stress associated with Alzheimer’s. Craving some brainfood?

Superfood Duo: Apples + Greek Yogurt Benefits: Helps protect bone health A study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition suggests that older women who eat plenty of fruits, including apples, may have a lower chance of bone fractures than those not getting their fill. Create your own apple and yogurt parfait for breakfast.

Superfood Duo: Apples + Ginger Benefits: Helps fight inflammation Inflammation in the body can cause or contribute to obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, Alzheimer’s disease and many types of cancers.

Fortunately, the polyphenols found in apples have been shown to suppress inflammation and remove cell-damaging free radicals from the body.

Should death really be taxed?

by Glen Cope Two things in life that often bring about the most grief are death and taxes. So when these two are combined, it makes for a cocktail of anxiety. Isn’t it enough that a family must deal with the grieving that comes from the passing of a loved one? Yet, political leaders in Washington, D.C., find it necessary to exacerbate that grief by taxing the occasion.

Most young farmers and ranchers have worked from an early age alongside their parents on the family farm, making it a joint effort to improve the farm, pay bills and reduce debt.

Not only do young farmers have a vested interest in the farm, but they consider themselves coowners. So, you can imagine our frustration knowing that the inevitable is lurking behind the barn door. After

our parents pass on, the Internal Revenue Service will demand a sizable portion of the family farm.

Farmers are, as the old phrase goes, “asset rich and cash poor.” Unfortunately, when parents pass, the estate tax is triggered because of high land prices. A fact that most people in this country don’t understand.

The average age of the American farmer is 57.

So, at an age when most Americans are preparing for retirement, farmers are still hard at work. As the average age of farmers increases, the need for permanent repeal of the estate tax is all that much more important.

Especially if we want young people to return to the farm. Stifling their ambitions by imposing a death tax that penalizes their achievement is not an incentive.

On January 1, 2013, the death tax will fall back to its original position of having only a $1 million exemption toward the value of the estate and then it will be taxed at a rate of 55 percent.

To give you an idea how little a $1 million exemption will go toward easing the mind-numb-

FOCUS ON AGRICULTURE American Farm Bureau Federation ing pain felt by this hideous tax; if a farm valued at $3,000 per acre fell under the death tax, only roughly 333 acres would be exempt.

However, many farmers will tell you in today’s world, 333 acres will not go very far to support one family, let alone two and sometimes three generations that may rely on the farm to provide their livelihoods.

There are many events in which taxation can come into play throughout a person’s life. For example, sales tax when we make a purchase and capital gains tax when we sell something at a higher price than what we paid. When we own something, we even pay a property tax. We pay

Social Security taxes toward our retirement. So the question must be asked; if we are taxed in this country seemingly every time we make a move when it comes to spending, saving and making money, should we be taxed simply because we have taken our last breath? Should we make it more difficult for our children to continue the family farm? The majority of farmers and ranchers would argue the answer is most definitely NO! Glen Cope, a fourth generation beef producer in Southwest Missouri, is chair of the American Farm Bureau Federation’s Young Farmers and Ranchers Committee.

Goat reproduction selection genetic animal evaluation EPDs Genetics Although genetic-evaluation programs are new to the goat industry, producers have used information from these types of programs for many years to make genetic improvements.

Most genetic-evaluation programs are managed by breed associations and are used to compare registered animals within the breed. Breeders collect individual animal performance measures and submit it to the breed association managing the program.

Then, the information submitted for an animal and all of its relatives can be used to predict future offspring performance. Most of the major sheep breeds, including the Katahdin, have a breed-improve-

ment program in place, and some Boer and Kiko goat associations have also started geneticevaluation programs.

Genetic-evaluation programs can help produce unbiased information for selection of breeding stock such as Expected Progeny Differences (EPDs). An EPD is a numerical estimate of the value of an animal for one specific trait; it tells us the possible differences of a goats’ offspring compared to the average of the breed. So, genetic-evaluation programs can help: 1. Identify and document genetic merit/value for major economically important traits, 2. Predict possible performance of the next generation, 3. Provide breeders

with EPDs to be used as another tool in selecting breeding stock, 4. Provide paperwork and information to customers about what breeding stock to buy.

The EPD for a young animal will be mostly based on its parents’ performance records such as birth, weaning, and/or yearling weights.

After the kid’s own performance records have been processed, its EPD will be based on a combination of its parents’ records and its own performance. If that kid is selected as a breeding animal, and records on its kids are reported, the records on its progeny will also be used to calculate its EPD. Because

all relationships among animals (parent-offspring, half-siblings, cousins) are taken into account, older animals or those with a lot of relatives in the program will have more accurate EPDs. Producers can compare goats using EPDs. For example, a buck with a weaning weight EPD of +1.0 pounds (meaning his offspring should be 1 pound heavier at weaning than average) is good, but a different buck with a weaning weight EPD of +2.0 pounds is better. EPDs give the most unbiased estimation of genetic value possible.

The EPDs provided by a

New York Farm Bureau challenges workers’ comp rate hike

zzzzzzzzzza11; 10.25"; 14"; Black; Composition: EPS Ads:CF: CW PDF pages:a11.pdf; -; -; -; -

New York Farm Bureau President Dean Norton submitted strong testimony in opposition to the New York State Department of Financial Services’ plan to raise “loss cost” by 11.5 percent, and he is asking the state to reevaluate

the proposal. If passed, this will be used by insurance companies to set higher workers’ compensation rates, and it would have a serious impact on New York farmers. Family farms now compete in a global marketplace while also try-

ing to make ends meet in a state that has high production costs that may now grow even higher with this proposed change.

“Between 2009 and 2010 we lost 300 farms, irrevocably, from producing the myriad of

agricultural products such as dairy, fruits and vegetables in New York State. Workers’ compensation insurance premiums contribute to the high cost of production in New York, and that is a factor our farm families must grapple with as

they seek to continue to grow local food for local families. Continuing to raise costs in New York, particularly on the employment side will cause further economic complications for agriculture leading to a loss in jobs in farming and food pro-

duction. The loss of farms impacts us all as farmland ends up in the hands of developers or is simply allowed to go fallow. That would be a lost opportunity for growth in our important agricultural sector,” said President Dean Norton.

While NYFB does appreciate the proposed 2 percent reduction in assessments, that number is not proportional to the 11.5 percent hike. Ultimately, if it goes into effect on Oct. 1, many farm families will have to pay several hundred dollars more for their coverage every year.

NYFB’s Safety Group 486 provides Workers Compensation Insurance for eligible ag-related businesses. Kevin Cook, Director of NYFB’s Member Services said, “From an insurance perspective, I can understand the need for some rate increase as medical costs and the weekly cash benefits have increase due to 2007 Workers’ Compensation reforms.

However, a hike of this magnitude will mean a significant increase for a bulk of our “Safety Group 486” members.

This will affect the ability of these farms to continue their operations.”

Milk Prices Are Headed Back Up But They Better Be Issued July 6, 2012 Farm milk prices have bottomed out and reversing gears. The Agriculture Department announced the June Federal order Class III price at $15.63 per hundredweight (cwt.) up 40 cents from May, $3.48 below June 2011, 98 cents above California’s comparable 4b price, and equates to about $1.34 per gallon. That put the 2012 Class III average at $15.90, down from $17.06 at this time a year ago and compares to $13.58 in 2010 and $10.19 in 2009.

Looking ahead, Class III futures were trading late Friday morning as follows: July $16.71; August, $17.50; September, $17.82; October, $17.80; November, $17.55; and December was at $17.44 per cwt. That would result in a second half average of $17.47 versus $15.90 in the first half.

The June Class IV price is $13.24, down 31 cents from May and $7.81below a year ago.

The four week AMSsurveyed cheese price averaged $1.5846 per pound, up 6.3 cents from May. Butter averaged $1.3991, up 3.3 cents, nonfat dry milk $1.1023, down 5.3 cents, and dry whey averaged 50.13 cents, down 3.8 cents from May. California’s comparable June 4b cheese milk price is $14.65 per cwt., up $1.09 from May but $4.14 below a year ago. The 4a butter -powder price is $13.17, down 28 cents from May and $7.62 below a year ago. The 4b price average for 2012 now stands at $13.83, down from $15.67 a year ago and compares to $12.29 in 2010. The 4a price average now stands at $14.73, down from $18.94 a year ago and compares to $13.69 in 2010.

Dairy margins were mixed over the last two weeks of June, holding steady in the third quar-

ter of 2012, but weakening in deferred periods as strength in milk was more focused on nearby contracts and only partially helped to offset surging feed costs, according to the latest Dairy Margin report from Commodity & Ingredient Hedging, LLC and reported by Dairy Profit Weekly (DPW).

Affecting margins, the second half of June featured a blistering corn rally brought on by sharply deteriorating crop conditions due to expanding drought across the Midwest.

USDA’s Cold Storage report showed May 31 American cheese stocks totaled 623.2 million pounds, down 9.5 million from April and only slightly above a year ago.

Given that stocks normally tend to increase

between April and May (with 2007 being the only other exception in recent times), the data suggest better demand and supports the firming cheese price trend during June.

Cash block cheese closed the 4th of July week at $1.64 per pound, down a penny on the holiday-shortened week, 47 cents below a year ago, and 3 1/2-cents below the barrels. The barrels held all week at $1.6750, 42 3/4-cents below a year ago. Three carloads of block traded hands on the week and none of barrel. The AMS-surveyed U.S. average block priced hit $1.6346, up 1.2 cents, while the barrels averaged $1.6220, up 4.1 cents.

Cheese prices across the country continue to show strength, according to USDA’s Dairy Market News. Retail sales are good. Cheese production continues to hold fairly steady with marginal declines, due to declining milk production. There have been few concerns from cheese manufactur-

ers about milk availability. Production has been geared to build inventories in case of shorter milk supplies later in the summer, according to USDA, but increasing price levels are beginning to impact export sales.

Cash butter closed Friday at $1.5325, up a half-cent on the week but 49 3/4- cents below a year ago. Three cars found new homes. AMS butter averaged $1.4695, up 7.1 cents.

Butter churns are operating on busy sched-

ules although cream volumes are tightening.

Class II demand continues to pull significant volumes of cream, especially for ice cream and mix needs. Butter demand is steady at generally good levels coast to coast. Retail ads indicate that butter ranges from $1.49 in the Central part of the country to $3.99 per pound in the Northeast and Southeast with a national average of $2.48.

May butter production totaled 163 million pounds, according to

USDA’s latest Dairy Products report, down 3.8 percent from April but 4.8 percent above May 2011. Nonfat dry milk output hit 195 million pounds, up 1.7 percent from April and 31.4 percent above a year ago.

American type cheese output, at 376 million pounds, was up 1.1 percent from April and just 0.9 percent above a year ago. Total cheese production hit 916 million pounds, up 1.4 percent

Mielke from A14 from April and just 0.4 percent above a year ago.

The Daily Dairy Report says declining cheese production is likely to limit downside risk in the domestic cheese market.

Cash nonfat dry milk was unchanged, with Grade A remaining at $1.2275 and Extra Grade at $1.1950. AMS powder averaged $1.0977, down 1.1 cent.

Dry whey averaged 48.68 cents, also down 1.1 cent.

Milk production across the country is being impacted by an array of factors ranging from nearly perfect conditions, tropical storm Debbie, too much moisture, not enough moisture, and hot, record setting, temperatures. All of these factors have occurred in various areas from coast to coast at varying rates during the past week causing milk production to be irregular for all Class needs. I got a personal reminder of how hot it can get in the Mid-

west, making a quick trip to Wisconsin to visit family this week. Temperatures topping 100 sent me packing for my cooler and greener home in the Pacific Northwest.

Cooperatives Working Together (CWT) accepted 14 requests for export assistance this week to sell a total of 2.2 million pounds of cheese to customers in Asia-Pacific, North Africa, Central America and the Middle East. The product will be delivered through October and brings CWT’s 2012 cheese exports to 66.3 million pounds, plus 45.2 million pounds of butter and anhydrous milk fat.

Speaking of the world dairy market, FC Stone’s July 3 eDairy Insider Closing Bell reports that GlobalDairyTrade (GDT) prices dropped this week, with the trade-weighted average for all products and contract periods down 5.9 percent.

Anhydrous milk fat led the declines, down 10.4 percent across all con-

tracts, and skim milk powder prices dropped an average 9.8 percent.

Average prices fell 4.1 percent for whole milk powder, 4.5 percent for rennet casein, 3.8 percent for lactose, 3.6 percent for milk protein concentrate, and 0.7 percent each for cheddar cheese and butter milk powder.

Back on the home front and always a concern to dairy producers are feed prices. Much of the recent strength in corn has been associated with very hot dry conditions in the central and eastern Corn Belt, with indications that yield prospects have been reduced substantially in those areas, according to Darrel Good, University of Illinois ag economist and reported by DPW. As the market continues to try to determine production prospects, it’s also assessing the likely strength of demand. Corn exports continue to lag the pace needed to reach previous USDA projections.

bilization program is “designed to limit milk supplies and to periodically raise milk prices. It will reduce dairy farmers’ incomes at the same time that a new subsidized revenue insurance plan enhances their incomes.

Taxpayer organizations, consumer groups, dairy food manufacturers, and many dairy producers, including the second largest dairy coop in the country, have all spoken out against supply management programs.”

The International Dairy Foods Association urged the committee to “provide revenue or margin insurance for dairy farmers without also mandating that they participate in a program that will impose government control over the supply and demand for milk.

National Milk praised the Farm Bill Draft and said “The bill reflects the bestpossible outcome for America’s dairy farmer community, which is in great need of a better federal safety net than what

we have now.”

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the growth hormone rBST (bovine somatotrophin) for use in 1994. Six years after adoption, approximately 18.3 percent of the U.S. dairy herd was treated with rBST, according to USDA survey data and reported in the June 29 issue of the Daily Dairy Report. Since then, the percent of U.S. dairy cows treated with rBST has fallen from 15.5 percent in 2005 to 8.8 percent in 2010. USDA tracks rBST use along with milking frequency and organic milk production as part of the periodic Agricultural Resource Management Survey (ARMS).

The 2010 ARMS data provided rBST use by herd size and state.

While rBST is used on farms of various sizes, it is not used in every state.

For example, 2 percent of the cows in herds with

Ethanol production is now slowing, as the combination of lower gasoline prices and higher corn prices has squeezed margins. Due to an early spring, and early harvest (pre Sept. 1) will skew domestic use figures.

The dilemma is it is far from clear how much corn will be available next year, warns DPW. Based on recent and upcoming weather, there is considerable risk that the yield will be below forecast levels. If so, even higher prices are possible.

In dairy politics; the House of Representatives Thursday made available its Discussion Draft of the 2012 Farm Bill. As expected, the dairy title contains provisions of the Dairy Security Act, authored by Rep. Peterson (D-MN) and based on National Milk’s “Foundation for the Future program.”

A View from Hickory Heights

by Ann Swanson Anniversary – cause for reminiscing As I started to think about how things were when I began writing this column 18 years ago I realized how much things had changed on many fronts. I had to go back in my diaries to be sure I would get everything right.

The column, View from Hickory Heights, debuted in the Jamestown Post-Journal on July 15, 1994. It is a good thing I had it written ahead of time because the next weekend was my daughter’s wedding.

By the time I started the column the newspaper process had improved. I was able to fax things to the editor. Of course, there was a deadline. The column needed to be in at the beginning of the week be-

cause it was in the Friday edition.

When I say things had improved I mean that I no longer had to call in and dictate my articles to the wonderful lady who transcribed them and prepared them for print.

It was not easy to dictate and achieve accuracy. I always talked too fast and had to keep repeating things for her. One time I attended a meeting but by morning I had no voice, laryngitis. That day my husband read the article over the phone for me. If you think that was not tricky you have another guess coming.

The editor asked for the column to be 1,500 words. I complied with his request. After they had it type-set he called to tell me to please make the next piece shorter.

When the new Sunday edition came out my column was moved to that edition where it has remained ever since. I am now the Saturday lady in Warren, the Sunday lady in Jamestown, and the Monday lady in Country Folks.

The media revolution continues and I am now able to e-mail the articles to the newspapers in a timely fashion. I can even e-mail photos for the features that I produce. My column now appears in the on-line editions as well introducing my work to many more readers.

People always want to know how I come up with the topics I write about. I read a lot. Reading the news provides the kernels that become the columns in many cases. I find a small fact,

Hickory A17 Mielke from A15 less than 50 cows were treated with rBST. However, it might be more surprising to learn that the greatest use of rBST at 21.9 percent occurred on dairies with 500 to 999 cows, while just 6.8 percent of cows in herds of more than 1,000 received rBST. Kansas had the most prevalent use of rBST in 2010 with 31percent of the state’s herd treated followed by Wisconsin with 21.5 percent. However, Pennsylvania ranked third in rBST use with 20.4 percent of the state’s herd treated. Minnesota was fourth in use and New York was fifth, with 18.6 percent and 13.4 percent of the cows treated, respectively.

Iowa rounded-out the states with double-digit rBST use at 13.3 percent.

California, the largest milk-producing state, reported that 5 percent of its herd received rBST in 2010. States that reported no use of rBST include: Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Maine, Michigan, Oregon, Tennessee, Virginia, and Washington.

The 2012 Cornell Sheep & Goat Symposium is in October

by Dr. tatiana Luisa Stanton Cornell University will be focusing on sheep and goats on Friday, Oct. 26 and Saturday, Oct. 27. We’ll start out with the “Pre-symposium Hands-on Activities” at the Cornell Sheep Farm in Harford, NY from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Friday.

Prospective or novice

goat and sheep owners will learn how to trim hooves, give vaccinations, eartag and tattoo.

They’ll also practice their skills at body condition and FAMACHA scoring.

We’ll have goats and sheep for each group of farmers to work with, respectively. We’ll also cover general management, choosing a breed, and

evaluating animals for soundness and productivity. Later in the day we’ll work on hay evaluation, pasture management, and tour the sheep farm.

Starting at 2:30 p.m. on Friday, more experienced farmers will have an opportunity to work with Dr. Mary Smith, DVM doing field necropsies and

learning which photos to take if your vet is assisting you over the internet with the necropsy. This event will also take place at the Cornell Sheep Farm. Saturday we will move over to Morrison Hall on the Cornell Campus, Ithaca, NY. Dr. Steve Hart from the American Institute for Goat Research is our guest

speaker and will discuss “what’s new in parasite management” as well as leading several other workshops and a FAMACHA certification Program. We’ll have workshops on dairy goats and sheep, as well as on meat enterprises and fiber production. Speakers will include researchers and grazing consultants as

well as several New York farmers and extension educators with lots of hands-on experience raising small ruminants. Information about the symposium schedule, registration fees, and housing is available on the web at www.sheep.cornell.edu a n d www.ansci.cornell.edu/g oats.

and the nature that is so important to me.

People have told me this place looks like a bed and breakfast. Although we have had many guests, it is really just home for me and my family. The wraparound porch is a joy. I can sit in the old rocking chair and read or write.

Yes, sometimes I begin with paper and pen even though I have access to the computer.

My move to the country was necessary because I was married to a dairy farmer for nearly 30 years. Since dairy farming is a job with something to be done

every day of the year living nearby was a necessity. It is something that I cherish. At this point my country roots run deep. I keep my hand in some as I help with small things on the farm. Often I am called upon to help with decisions.

As for the idea of writing itself, I never even considered becoming a writer. It is something that evolved as I took on additional responsibilities. When I took my master’s exam I asked to be allowed to take an oral one because I was not sure of my writing skills. Even though I had

to find a team to be my examination panel — my advisor said he would not do an oral exam — I completed the requirement for my master’s degree in reading.

After I had the degree I enrolled in some correspondence courses to beef up my writing skills.

I thought I would write for children since I knew what they liked to read about. That was not to be the case. My talent surfaced in the non-fiction category writing memoir. From that time on I tailored my writing courses for that genre.

A stint at Chautauqua

Institution proved invaluable. I learned about marketing strategies. I learned about gathering ideas. I learned how to manage my time. I look back fondly on all of the instructors who played a part in my education as a writer. No, my English is not flawless, but people understand with ease what I mean. I am not producing scholarly documents, simply pieces to entertain and inform.

The art of writing has led to the publication of four books. The most recent piece of work is a book titled Choose Life: a Look at the Grieving

Process. It is my first book in the inspiration genre. If I can help one person through the complex process of grieving for a loved one, all of my work will have been worthwhile. Everyone goes through that process differently, but there are feelings and ideas that create a common thread.

Thank you to my faithful readers. You support me with e-mails, phone calls, and notes. Without readers my job as columnist would not exist.

Hickory from A16 then, reminisce about my experiences. I keep a notebook with quotations that inspire me. I also put ideas for articles there so I have ready reference. My diaries that I have kept faithfully since the early 1970s also provide ideas for my work.

The history of my lovely Victorian home has provided many ideas. When we restored our home we tried to keep things as much like they were as we could. The one exception is the bay window installed in the kitchen.

That certainly is not a period window but it is the frame for the countryside

Winners of John Brandt Scholarship announced Scholarships given to grad students in dairy animal, food science or agribusiness ARDEN HILLS, MN — The Land O’Lakes Foundation awarded the 2012 John Brandt Memorial Foundation Scholarships to a graduate student studying what information affects consumers’ dairy purchases and a graduate student studying nutrition in ruminant animals.

Molly Paterson of Johnston, Iowa, who is attending Iowa State University and Sam Fessenden of King Ferry, NY, who is attending the University of Minnesota received the scholarships for the 2012-2013 school year.

The John Brandt Memorial Foundation scholarship program supports graduate students pursuing work in dairy animal, food science or agribusiness at one of four eligible institutions: Iowa State University, South Dakota State University,

University of Minnesota and University of Wisconsin-Madison.

The scholarships are awarded in memory of John Brandt, an industry organizer who formed and remained president of Land O’Lakes until his death in 1953. The Land O’Lakes Foundation awards one or two scholarships each year to students who have demonstrated exceptional commitment and aptitude toward their field of study.

Paterson earned her bachelor’s degree in dairy manufacturing with a minor in food safety from South Dakota State University. Her research focuses on consumer perceptions, preferences and behaviors with fluid milk and will examine consumers’ perceptions and preferences regarding how milk is processed and how it tastes. The information, she said, will provide information about what affects consumers’ milk purchases.

“People have so many alternatives to dairy. I want to show consumers the advantages of drinking milks and choosing other dairy products for themselves and their families,” Paterson said. “I want to impact the consumer’s mindset about the dairy industry. I want to help bridge a gap between consumers’ preferences, purchasing habits and the information they know about the options available to them and also provide this critical information to dairy processors and industry professionals.”

Fessenden received his Bachelor’s with Honors Distinction in Research in Animal Science from Cornell University in Ithaca, NY. His research focuses on the use of hops acids — the compounds responsible for providing flavor and aroma to brewed products — in animal feeds.

“My goal is to understand how ruminant animals adapt to the addition of hop acids,” he said. “Ultimately we would like to understand if milk production efficiency can be increased with the use of hop acids. This could provide an alternative to synthetic antibiotics and enhance consumer

perception of dairy production.

“I grew up on a dairy farm. After dinner, my father would ask if I wanted to go with him to check on the cows. In the middle of the barns was a tractor seat mounted on one of the gates,” he said. “My father and I would watch the cows and talk. This is where I began to learn about cattle, what they ate and how to care for them.”

Those interested in applying for the 2013-2014 school year can can find more information and download an application form at www.landolakesinc.com/company/corporateresponsibility/foundation.

Applications for the 2013-2014 school year will be accepted after March 1, 2013.

The Land O’Lakes Foundation was established in 1996 and is made possible by support from Land O’Lakes, Inc. In addition to distributing the John Brandt Memorial Foundation Scholarship, the Foundation awards community grants to projects that best address hunger issues, human services, youth and education, civic improvements and arts and culture.

The National Grange celebrates 150th anniversary of Morrill Act by honoring members who are land-grant alumni The National Grange is celebrating the 150th anniversary of the creation of the Public Land-Grant University System, established under the Morrill Act of 1862.

The legislation, better known as the Morrill Land Grant Act, named after its sponsor, Justin Morrill, founded the system of federal funding for public institutions that agreed to “teach such branches of learning as are related to agriculture and the mechanic arts... in order to promote the liberal and practical education of the industrial classes...”

“Many top institutions of higher education are Land-Grant colleges and universities that continue to advance knowledge and research in the field of agriculture.” ~ Ed Luttrell, Grange President

“Tens of millions of Americans, many of whom are or have been Grange members, have benefited from the educational opportunities extended as a result of the Morrill Act,” National Grange President Ed Luttrell said. “As

we look forward to our own 150th anniversary in 2017, we understand the importance of celebrating roots, heritage, success and impact over a century and a half.”

Under the Morrill Act, each state

College of Ag Sciences names assistant dean for multicultural affairs UNIVERSITY PARK, PA — Patreese Ingram, professor of agricultural and extension education, has been named assistant dean for multicultural affairs in Penn State’s College of Agricultural Sciences, effective July 1.

Bruce McPheron, dean of the college, explained that Ingram’s appointment to the newly created position will help the college proactively address diversity issues and opportunities.

“Fostering diversity is a strategic priority and core value of our academic and outreach missions,” he said. “This position will serve as a focal point for coordinating and enhancing multicultural initiatives across the college.”

McPheron noted that Ingram has been recognized within the college and nationally for her efforts in promoting diversity. “Her scholarly background and her passion for creating opportunities for cultural understanding make her the ideal person to lead the college in this area,” he said.

In her new role, Ingram will chair the college Diversity Coordinating Council, administer implementation of the college’s 2010-2015 Framework to Foster Diversity, oversee the creation of diversity committees in the academic

departments, handle civil rights issues and reporting, and act as liaison with the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Civil Rights Compliance Office.

In addition, she will work to increase the diversity of candidate pools for faculty positions, create and expand diversity-related professional-development opportunities, promote the creation of diversity-related student programs, and encourage the recruitment and participation of underrepresented students in undergraduate and graduate programs.

Ingram joined the college’s faculty as an assistant professor of agricultural and extension education, with a focus on diversity education, in 1995. She was named associate professor in 2002 and achieved the rank of full professor in 2009. From 2009 to 2010, she was an administrative fellow to the University’s executive vice president and provost.

She has designed several programs to increase awareness and acceptance of differences and to enhance the public’s ability to relate effectively with populations that differ in age, class, ethnicity, gender, physical or mental ability, race, sexual orientation and religious practices.

Her awards and honors include the

2000 National Award for Diversity, given by the U.S. Department of Agriculture for exceptional leadership in diversity education, and the 2006 College of Agricultural Sciences Diversity Achievement Award, which honors faculty and staff who encourage the valuing, understanding and promotion of diversity through their professional work.

Ingram came to Penn State from the public school system in Grand Rapids, MI, where she spent three years as a research and evaluation specialist.

From 1981 to 1991, she held several positions at the Kent Career Technical Center in Grand Rapids, including student services coordinator, assistant principal and principal.

Previously, she was a teacher at Caledonia High School and Grand Rapids Metro Education Center. She began her career as an extension home economist in Flint, MI. Ingram received a bachelor’s degree in home economics education from Baldwin-Wallace College, a master’s degree in community service from Michigan State University, and a doctorate in educational leadership from Western Michigan University.

received 30,000 acres of federal land for every member of Congress representing their state. Total, the Act allocated 17,400,000 acres of land that provided an endowment of $7.55 million in 1862.

The Act helped spark the establishment and growth of numerous universities, including the University of California, Kansas State University, and Rutgers University. Today, more than 100 Land-Grant colleges and universities are in operation.

The state of Iowa was the first to accept funds provided by the Act, which helped to grow Ames College, now known as Iowa State University, still in the top 10 agricultural schools in the United States.

“Many top institutions of higher education are Land-Grant colleges and universities that continue to advance knowledge and research in the field of agriculture,” Luttrell said. “Without the foresight of Congress in 1862, American agriculture could not have grown and prospered so much in the past 150 years, today providing food, fiber and fuel for our nation and much of the world.”

Although provision six of the Morrill Act originally stated; “No State while in a condition of rebellion or insurrection against the government of the United States shall be entitled to the benefit of this act,” the Act was eventually extended to all Southern states as well.

As part of the celebration, the National Grange is asking any Grange member who is a graduate of a Public Land-Grant University to submit their information for recognition. Specifically, members should submit their information using the form on the National Grange website under News called “Land-Grant Alumni Members” by Oct. 2. Information for deceased members may be submitted as well.

To learn if your college or university was one established because of the Morrill Land Grant Act, visit the National Grange website, www.nationalgrange.org.

A Few Words

by Phoebe Hall 51st year of farming It is the first week of July 2012 and we’re now on our way to our 51st year of farming. It’s been a good journey, although I wouldn’t recommend it for everyone. But it was a very good place for us to raise and try and equip our children for whatever

the world throws at them.

With the dry spell we are experiencing at the moment, my lawn mowing has decreased immensely. In fact I’m not sure when I’ll have to venture out again, but I’m not complaining with the oppressive heat outside during the day. In

the morning when it is down to 70, it seems cold.

We’ve noticed more animals making the trip up to the pond during the night looking for some water. It happens every time there is a drought, which seems like it is every other year. I heard on the news this morning that we aren’t in a drought yet, except for those that are in the agriculture sector. It also stated that the rainfall is five inches below normal and no major precipita-

tion is predicted in the near furture.

This year reminds us a lot of the 1988 drought, except that the temperatures are around 10 degrees cooler on average. I remember talking to a non-farmer back then about the drought and he told us that he had no idea that there was a drought.

But we are in something, just ask the dairy farmers who are trying

to keep their cows cool enough to produce milk and are watching their alfalfa fields yielding around half the normal yields. They also know by the looks of the corn that they may be buying more feed than they planned on. Unless this drought is lifted, it can only mean higher prices for the consumer.

It’s very depressing watching the crops suf-

fer from this heat and lack of adequate moisture. Trying to farm through these droughts is not fun nor is it easy!

P.S. This morning we had a shower…THANK GOD! How can men be wise?

The only way to begin is by reverence for God. For growth in wisdom comes from obeying his laws.

Praise his name forever.

(Psalms 111:10) TLB

NFU leads coalition calling for action on 2012 Farm Bill National Farmers Union (NFU) led a coalition of agriculture, conservation, energy, forestry, livestock, hunger and rural organizations thanking U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Agriculture Chairman Frank Lucas, R-OK, and Ranking Member Collin Peterson, D-MN, for their leadership on the 2012 Farm Bill so far. The coalition also urged the full Committee on Agriculture to work together in a cooperative, bipartisan fashion.

“This letter demonstrates the strong support for completing a bipartisan farm bill before the Sept. 30 deadline,” said NFU President Roger Johnson. “Every voter in this country depends on the farm bill, so we cannot lose sight of the bigger picture.”

The coalition letter was signed by 77 organizations.

“The farm bill is tremendously important for every single American, not just farmers and ranchers,” the letter states. “In addition to helping farmers plan ahead and mitigate risk to survive the tough times, the bill provides critical investment in rural communities, conserves precious natural resources like soil and water, provides food for those less fortunate, and creates new sources of energy made here at home. We urge the committee to work in a cooperative, bipartisan fashion to move the bill to the floor.”

The Reflections of Maple Downs Sale

ments when they are being shipped to Canada.

There isn’t a need for the inspections since Canada does not call for them.

In turn, not only will it speed up the exporting process, but it would save New York apple producers $450,000 every year in inspection fees without impacting the relationship with Canadian importers.

“This is common sense house cleaning to remove an outdated and expensive burden on

New York’s apple producers. We urge its inclusion in the final passage of the Farm Bill to put money back into the pockets of the state’s hard working fruit farmers,” said Dean Norton, President of NYFB.

For The Estate Of Ed Henderson

New York Farm Bureau commends Representative Bill Owens’ efforts to get much needed language helping New York apple growers into the overall House version of the Farm Bill. Its passage would mean a large savings for the fruit farmers who are coming off a tough spring season.

The bill would amend the 1933 Apple Export Act to exempt bulk shipments of apples from U.S. inspection require-

New York Farm Bureau’s statement regarding apple export reform for New York growers

Donations sought for the Kimber Hamm Goat Rancher Award at the 2012 New York State Fair This award is given in honor of Kimber Hamm, one of the top meat goat herd managers New York was blessed to have. In partnership with her husband Denny she operated the extremely well managed Poplar Hill herd. An avid supporter of youth, she evaluated the youth meat goat project notebooks at the New York State Fair for many years. Always interested in what young people had to say, her interviews and evaluations were full of laughter and good hu-

mor.

The award is presented annually at the New York State Fair to the Youth Junior and Youth Senior Meat Goat Exhibitor who most demonstrate the diverse qualities of a good meat goat herdsperson.

These qualities include but are not limited to 1) a working knowledge of goat health, nutrition, marketing, and management, and 2) the ability to skillfully evaluate, handle, and raise meat goats, and make financial decisions.

To demonstrate their abilities, youth must compete in all the youth meat goat activities at the New York State Fair including the project notebook competition, the written knowledge exam, the oral interview, a showmanship class, and the Kimber Hamm Conformation class. This is a demanding schedule but the children and teens competing prepare together and learn a great deal.

Donations toward the cash awards and prizes

for this award can be sent to: Annette Mrzywka, Assistant Meat Goat Supervisor for NY State Fair Youth Events, 15731 Mansfield Rd., Holley, NY

14470. Checks should be made out to “Cornell University” and state “Kimber Hamm Goat Rancher Award” in the memo section of the check. Ques-

Summary of Central PA

How to plan your breedings to target specific holidays by tatiana Stanton Many holidays such as Roman and Greek Easter, and Ramadan occur on different dates each year.

Daily weight gains for baby goats from kidding to weaning at 3 months of age range from about 1/3 to 1/2 pound daily

Daily weight gains for baby goats from kidding to weaning at 3 months of age range from about 1/3 to 1/2 pound daily in many meat goat herds.

It takes planning and skill to time your breedings to meet the demands of specific holidays.

in many meat goat herds although some kids can grow as slow as 1/4 pound daily and some

big singles as much as 2/3 pound daily. Kids from large litters will tend to grow slower than kids from small litters and kids born to yearling does often grow slower than kids born to mature does. Most herds count on their kids gaining about 10 to 15 pounds per month from birth to weaning and from 8 to 12 pounds per month from weaning on. It is good to know the average weight gains for kids in your herd because it can vary widely depending on breed and management.

Let’s pretend you want to market suckling kids weighing 30 to 40 pounds live for Western Easter on March 31 in 2013. We’ll assume that your kids average about 7 pounds at birth and most of your kids grow about 1/2 pound daily.

However, your twin kids from yearling does and some of your kids from triplet litters only grow 1/3 pound daily. Goats are generally purchased and shipped to slaughter about 7 to 10 days before Easter so you want your kids to weigh 30-40 pounds by March 21.

When should your kids be born?

Growthy kids: 40 pound target weight - 7 pound birth weight = 33

Be part of the conversation as Western New York plans for a more sustainable future LANCASTER, NY — A coalition of Western New York municipalities and organizations in Erie, Niagara, Allegany, Chautauqua, and Cattaraugus counties has received funding from the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) to create a regional sustainability plan as part of Governor Andrew M. Cuomo’s Cleaner, Greener Communities Program.

The Western New York Regional Sustainability Planning process is underway and community input is needed to help shape our region’s eco-

nomic and environmental future.

The Cleaner, Greener Communities Program promotes smarter growth practices by funding sustainability planning at the regional level. Regional planning teams can partner with state and federal agencies, municipalities, non-profit organizations, private businesses and residents to break down barriers and develop a sustainability plan that reflects their area’s needs.

This partnering helps to create more integrated, sustainable solutions and accelerate investment and actual development.

When completed, the Western New York Regional Sustainability Plan will: • Plan for energy production and conservation, transportation, waste and water management, land use and livable communities, agriculture and forestry, economic development, and open space; • Build upon Regional Economic Development planning efforts to integrate our work toward economic prosperity with efforts to promote longterm sustainability; • Measure key indicators of sustainability, in-

cluding greenhouse gas emissions and energy use, available natural resources and economic assets, liabilities, and opportunities; and • Prioritize eligible projects that can apply for Cleaner, Greener Communities implementation funding from the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority.

Planning teams are looking for ideas from community members and input from experts across a wide range of fields.

Please plan on attending a public workshop and sharing your ideas to help

shape the Western New York Regional Sustainability Plan. The following workshops are scheduled: • Wednesday, July 18, 6-8 p.m., Starpoint Central High School, Cafeteria, 4363 Mapleton Rd, Lockport, NY 14094 • Wednesday, July 25, 6-8 p.m., Ramada Jamestown Hotel, 150 West Fourth St., Jamestown, NY 14701 • Tuesday, July 24, 6-8 p.m., Millennium Hotel Grand Ballroom, 2040 Walden Ave., Buffalo, NY 14225 • Thursday, July 26, 68 p.m., Moonwinks

Restaurant, 9302 Jackson Hill Rd., Cuba, NY 14727 The Western New York regional planning team is led by Allegany County, with support from Southern Tier West Regional Planning and Development Board, Ecology and Environment, Inc., and the University at Buffalo Regional Institute. To learn more about the project or to submit input via email, please visit www.sustainable-ny.com.

For questions about the project or the upcoming public meetings, please contact Elizabeth Santacrose at 716-684-8060.

stimulated to come into heat about 4-7 days after you put the buck in with them. This is called the “buck effect”. Thus, the vast majority of your herd will likely get bred within 2 weeks of the buck’s introduction.

However, Easter is pretty early in 2013 and not all your does may be cycling initially. You will want to bring the buck into the herd by July 20 and hope that your does have begun to cycle by then. If

your buyer is tolerant of kids weighing more than 40 pounds you should move your breeding date forward accordingly and introduce your buck into the herd even earlier in July. You can also lead him through the herd starting in early July to “tease” the does. This can help to stimulate the does to start coming into heat.

Greek Easter is not until May 5 in 2013 so it is going to be hard to breed for both markets. In fact

you may even want to pull the buck out for a week in mid to late August depending on how tolerant your Western Easter market is of underweight kids and your Greek Easter Market is of overweight kids. In contrast, both Western and Greek Easter are on April 20th in 2014.

Please keep in mind that the best time to put your bucks in with your does will depend on 1) your market’s weight preferences, 2) the ex-

pected birth weight of your kids, and 3) the expected daily growth rates of your kids. Be sure to talk to potential buyers in advance to find out their weight preferences for Easter kids and at what weight they will start paying you less per pound live weight. If they buy kids by the hanging carcass, do you have past experience knowing what size carcasses your suckling kids will usually produce? A very rough esti-

mate (if you have nothing else to go on) is that the hanging carcass weight will be about 50 percent of the live weight.

Targeting holidays when the demand for goats and lambs is high can help make marketing easier for you. However, a little advanced planning will help increase the chances that your animals are in the optimum weight range for you with regard to earnings yet still satisfy your buyer’s demands.

How from B10 Thus, you want your kids born about 17 to 20 days before the start of February, i.e., around Jan. 11-14.

Now you need to figure out when to breed your does to get the vast majority to kid around Jan 11 to 14. The gestation period for goats is about 150 days so ideally you want your does bred about Aug. 11 to 14. The heat cycle is about 18-21 days but early in the season most does will be

DEC revises the firewood transport regulation Requirements clarified for producers, consumers and enforcement personnel After several years of education, outreach and enforcement of the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation’s (DEC) Firewood Regulation, DEC Commissioner Joe Martens on July 3 announced that the 2009 regulations have been revised to help ease regulatory compliance and enforcement. The basics and purpose of the revised regulation remain the same and still prohibit untreated firewood from entering the state and restrict intra-state

movement of untreated firewood to no more than 50 miles from its source.

“Without the existence of this regulation, firewood infested with invasive insects such as emerald ash borer and Asian longhorned beetle could be transported throughout the state spreading infestations from one place to another,” said Commissioner Martens. “To help reduce damages to New York’s forests and community trees, New Yorkers and visitors are urged to comply with the state’s regulations, which restrict the major vector for the introduction of these pests.” The revised

N/W PA ABSOLUTE AUCTION

SATURDAY, AUG. 4TH AT 9 AM

regulation focuses enforcement on untreated firewood that is in transit, and any firewood possessed on state lands. The revisions also articulate DEC’s authority to confiscate and destroy non-compliant firewood under the Environmental Conservation Law (ECL 9-1303). The updated definition of “Firewood,” now specifically excludes logs being moved to manufacturing facilities for processing (sawmills, pulp and paper mills, biomass power plants, etc.) from regulation as “firewood,” as this regulation is intended to regulate firewood specifically. Other regulations exist for log transport, which are enforced by New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets, including transport re-

strictions from the 20 counties in New York that are under state and federal Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) quarantines.

For information on the restrictions on transporting firewood, visit the DEC website at www.dec.ny.gov/animals/28722.html. New Yorkers are urged to take the following steps to keep invasive species from spreading to other areas of the state: • It is best to leave all firewood at home — do not bring it to campgrounds or parks.

• Get firewood at the campground or from a local vendor — make sure to receive a receipt or label that lists the firewood’s local source.

• If transporting firewood within New York State: — It must have a re-

— For firewood not purchased (i.e., cut from your own property) you must have a Self-Issued Certificate of Origin (www.dec.ny.gov/docs/l ands_forests_pdf/selfisscert.pdf) and it must be sourced within 50 miles of your destination.

— Only firewood that meets New York’s heat treatment standards (heated at 160 degrees F for 75 minutes) to kill pests and labeled as, “New York-Approved Treated Firewood/PestFree” may be transported into the state and further than 50 miles from the firewood’s source.

EAB is a small but destructive beetle that infests and kills North American ash tree species, including green, white, black, and blue ash. The first detection of EAB in New York was in Randolph, Cattaraugus County, in June 2009. With a dozen New York counties infested with the emerald ash borer, mainly in the Hudson Valley and the western portion of the state, it is more important than ever to increase early detection of this insect, and slow its spread. By finding infes-

tations early, DEC can better manage infestations, which can reduce environmental and economic costs that can be incurred by local governments and landowners.

To learn how to spot infestations and report suspected damage, please utilize the Volunteer Survey Form which can be found at www.dec.ny.gov/animals/72136.html.

Damage from EAB is caused by the larvae, which feed in tunnels just below the ash tree’s bark. The tunnels disrupt water and nutrient transport, causing branches and eventually the entire tree to die.

Adult beetles leave distinctive D-shaped exit holes in the outer bark of the branches and the trunk. Other signs of infestation include tree canopy dieback, yellowing and extensive sprouting from the roots and trunk. Infested trees may also exhibit woodpecker damage from larvae extraction.

For more information on invasive forest pests, visit the DEC website at www.dec.ny.gov/animals/7253.html or call toll free 866-640-0652.

You may also visit the New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets at www.agriculture.ny.gov/PI/eab.html.

Closing date is Aug. 1 for New York fall-seeded forage The deadline for farmers to obtain crop insurance on fall-seeded forage acreage is Aug. 1. Current policyholders also have until July 31 to make any changes to existing contracts.

The forage seeding policy covers newly seeded acreage of alfalfa and forage mixtures containing at least 50 percent alfalfa, clover, birdsfoot trefoil, or any other locally recognized and approved forage legume species (by weight) planted by Aug. 31, 2011, in Cattaraugus, Genesee, Jefferson, Madison, Ontario, Orange, Otsego, and St. Lawrence Counties.

A grower may secure up to $275 worth of coverage per acre under the plan. Coverage under this particular policy ends the earliest of: total destruction of the crop, initial harvest, commencement of grazing, final adjustment of a loss or abandonment of the crop.

If there is an adequate stand, the acreage may then be insured for second and subsequent years under a separate forage production policy.

Growers are strongly urged to contact a local crop insurance agent as soon as possible for premium quotes and other details.

For a list of crop insurance agents, farmers may contact their local USDA Farm Service Agency office or log on to the following Risk Management Agency web site: www3.rma.usda.gov/tools/agents/.
