Farm Tour Workshops prepare producers for welcoming the public

Page 2 - Section A • COUNTRY FOLKS West • June 10, 2013

by Jennifer Wagester The New York Animal Agriculture Coalition (NYAAC) strives to empower farmers to engage the public in conversations about animal agriculture and tell their stories firsthand. The coalition, in conjunction with the American Dairy Association and Dairy Council (ADADC) and the United Soybean Board (USB), hosted Farm Tour Workshops on May 20 in Batavia, NY, and May 22 in Fonda, NY. The workshops focused on helping farmers start those conversations through positive farm tour experiences.

Jessica Ziehm, Executive Director for the NYAAC, and Melissa Osgood, Corporate Communications Specialist for the ADADC, facilitated the workshops. Both have agricultural roots and boundless enthusiasm for the agricultural industry. Jessica became the NYAAC executive director in August 2012 after serving 12 years at the NYS Department of Agriculture and Markets. She grew up on a dairy farm and currently resides in Washington County on her husband’s 600-cow family dairy. Melissa is from Wyoming County and also grew up on a dairy farm. She’s held her role at the ADADC for nine years and especially enjoys working with schools to enhance youth’s understanding of and interest in the agricultural industry.

The Farm Tour Workshops started with introductions. Participants represented several counties and diverse roles in the agricultural industry.

Cornell Cooperative Extension educators, dairy farmers, beef producers, county government officials, agricultural event organizers, and industry association members gathered to enhance their communication skills. Some producers had already hosted farm tours, while others were considering it in the future. Those in government-related

roles wanted to learn more about engaging decision-makers in tours to better equip them for making decisions that impact producers in their communities.

The workshops continued with a presentation by Jessica Ziehm and Melissa Osgood on how to go about organizing, promoting, and conducting farm tours. The participants were provided with a copy of the presentation along with a CD of the 2013 Farm Tour Tool Kit. The presentation stressed preparation as an important component to success. The timeline for preparing a tour included first identifying the type of tour, who will participate, and what will be accomplished by hosting the tour. Farm tour organizers need to determine their target audiences, develop age appropriate activities, ensure key informational concepts are covered, make the tour fun, and keep everyone safe.

Before the event, tour organizers should send out invitations (with clear directions and recommendations for dress and foot attire) and utilize press releases or other promotional materials for larger tours. As the tour date nears, organizers should try to confirm the number of attendees, arrange for restrooms and first aid services, write a script for all speakers, provide adequate signage, practice the tour ahead of time, conduct a safety check, and prepare for tough questions. Tips for success include setting up different stations with 15-20 minutes of activities, allowing time to transition between activities and answer questions, providing great photo opportunities, and offering snacks that showcase what is grown on the farm.

Providing hand washing stations and/or using disposable gloves are also important to maintain participant and farm animal health.

Penny Heritage, co-chair of the annual Sundae on the Farm in Saratoga County, shared her experiences as a Farm Tour organizer.

During group discussions, the participants identified organic vs. conventional agriculture, GMOs (genetically modified organisms), environmental stewardship, and use of pesticides, herbicides, and antibiotics as the top topics for tough questions. Melissa and Jessica stressed that producers should be honest and prepared to defend the practices that their farms use to grow safe, nutritious food. A variety of producer associations offer educational materials on these issues that help farmers answer questions or direct tour participants to the appropriate educational resources. All agreed it was best to provide the information directly to tour participants than to leave them to search for it on the internet.

Veteran farm tour organizers were on hand to share their experiences.

Among them was Penny Heritage, cochair of the annual Sundae on the Farm in Saratoga County. The event started 18 years ago in an effort to connect the public with agriculture as farm numbers dwindled and residential communities grew. Penny shared what her team members have learned throughout the years as the event has grown from a smaller Breakfast on the Farm to this year’s Sundae on the Farm, which will welcome about 3,500 participants on June 16 at McMahon Thoroughbreds. Penny stresses that successful farm tours are team efforts.

Sundae on the Farm is supported by

150-200 volunteers and a variety of local organizations that include the host farm, the host town, local businesses, agricultural organizations, chambers of commerce, and financial sponsors. Penny also encouraged everyone to be flexible and creative.

Each year has been better than the last as the planning team adapts to challenges and continuously makes improvements.

Producers interested in hosting farm tours or enhancing their communication activities through newsletters or other events have a strong support network. Jessica Ziehm can be reached at 518-527-3949 or jaz67@cornell.edu and Melissa Osgood can be reached at 315-4729143 or mosgood@adadc.com. Both are ready to assist with developing communication strategies and promotional materials. Producers can acquire farm tour signs courtesy of the USB through NYAAC and materials such as coloring books, pencils, informational handouts, milk cartons, etc. through a number of associations including ADADC, Ag & Markets, USDA Statistics, USB, milk cooperatives, and County Cooperative Extension offices. All Farm Tour Workshop participants agreed there are many ways to safely produce wholesome foods and that education is one of the best ways to address consumers’ concerns.

Palmesano joins bi-partisan coalition to relieve tax burden on family farms New York State Assemblyman Phil Palmesano (R, C, I - Corning) on June 4 joined a bi-partisan coalition of lawmakers and the New York Farm Bureau in supporting legislation, Assembly Bill 165, that will cap the agricultural property tax assessment at two percent. Skyrocketing land assessments have forced the cost of farmland tax bills to unmanageable levels.

Currently, New York farmers pay $38.41 per acre in property taxes, this is the second highest rate in the nation and more than $25 per acre higher than the national average. This cost amounts to 15 percent of New York farmers’ net income being consumed by property taxes, as a percent of

income this is the highest in the nation.

“Farming is a crucial industry to our state and each year more and more family farms close up shop because they can no longer afford to do business,” said Palmesano. “Capping the agricultural assessment at two percent will provide much needed relief to our farmers and help ensure the survival of an industry that is vital to our state’s economy. I commend my colleagues in the Senate for passing this bill with overwhelming support, and once this bill passes the Assembly, I hope the Governor will move quickly to sign it into law.”

A quick glance at the numbers featured above showcases the urgent need to cap agricultural land assessments at two percent, mirroring the relief property owners received two years ago. Rising land assessments dictated by a complicated formula that takes into account national production value statistics and soil type is forcing up the overall tax bill on farmland.

Currently, New York farmers pay $38.41 per acre in property taxes, according to Farm Credit East. That is the second highest rate in the country and eats up 15 percent of a farm’s net income. This puts farmers in this state at a clear competitive disadvantage.

essentially double. Additionally, the increase in taxes has coincided with pronounced increases to the cost of essential materials such as fuel and feed, as well as increases to labor and health care costs. These various increases are dramatically lowering the farmers’ bottom line and also prevent new farmers from joining in the state’s long farming tradition.

The bill has already passed the State Senate with a strong show of bipartisan support and has passed the Assembly Agriculture Committee, which will bring it to the Assembly floor for a vote. The New York Farm Bureau is also advocating for the establishment of a workgroup comprised of various stakeholders and experts to address the long term problems related to agricultural assessment valuations.

“The added weight of rising property taxes is a big concern for my family’s

WASHINGTON, D.C. — During an address on June 3 to Grange members attending the organization’s annual Fly-In, Ranking House Democrat Collin Peterson warned we may be seeing “the last Farm Bill,” if the omnibus legislation even passes through Congress this year.

“If we can’t get the votes then I think we’re done until the next election,” Peterson said during his luncheon address at the National Press Club.

“But this might be the last Farm Bill.”

Peterson said the bill is making some progress, and is expected to come to the House floor on the week of June 17.

In spite of nearly $21 billion in proposed cuts to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) funding for what was formerly known

as food stamps that makes up nearly 80 percent of the $1 trillion piece of legislation - Peterson said some Republicans still may not budge.

“Some Republicans tell me that the high water mark among the Republican Caucus is 150 (votes),” Peterson said. “I agreed to the SNAP cuts because (Rep.) Lucas thought it’s what needed to be done in order to get the votes. For some of them, $21 billion isn’t enough. For some of them, $100 billion wouldn’t be enough.”

Peterson said he and Agriculture Committee Chairman Frank Lucas (ROK) believe limiting the number of amendments to no more than 30 is necessary to allow it to pass.

“We were very pleased and honored to have Rep. Peterson offer his insight

into the Farm Bill process to our eager crowd,” National Grange President Edward L. Luttrell said. “Our members will be using this information as well as others they learned this week in their conversations with Representatives and Senators today and tomorrow across the Hill.”

The National Grange Fly-In is an annual event held to encourage members of the 145-year-old organization to speak directly to their elected officials about issues of importance to rural Americans and the agriculture sector.

After Peterson spoke, the National Grange and members proudly presented the first William Saunders Award for Rural Awareness to RAM for their Super Bowl Commercial, “God Made a Farmer.”

dairy farm,” said Eric Ooms, NY Farm Bureau Vice President and Columbia County dairy farmer. “The increasing costs can limit the potential growth of the farm. In addition, the burden my children may have to take on in the future could prevent the farm from being passed on to the next generation.”

“If we are going to have a healthy agricultural economy in this state, it is time we take the necessary step to implement a two percent cap on agricultural land assessments,” said Dean Norton, New York Farm Bureau President. “New York farmers deserve a fair shot when it comes to selling their quality products in a competitive marketplace.”

Communicate with your people, not just your cows

by Libby Gaige Over the past 50 years or so, many dairy farms have undergone significant growth. Farms that used to employ a workforce of only a handful of people with the same last name now look outside their families for additional workers. In the long run, this equates to fewer hours spent working directly with cows and equipment and more hours spent managing the people who work with the cows and equipment.

Unfortunately, that’s not always as easy as it sounds; many farm managers have found that their cow skills don’t always translate to people skills.

You may have noticed that the approach you use with your bovines doesn’t work as well with your humans.

What language do cows speak?

English? Spanish? Chinese? When I’ve posed this question during animal handling trainings, the response I often get is “all of the above!” It’s true, cows seem to respond to people in the same manner no matter what language they speak, and will listen without judgment to anything you have to

say. Whether you realize it or not, you communicate with your cows using body language more than speech. And while your people surely do pay attention to body language, the words you use and especially the way you say them are more important than you may have realized.

What’s more, your employees want you to talk to them. When I translate for a meeting between English-speaking managers and Spanish-speaking employees, frequently the first question that the employees will have for their boss is “How am I doing?”

Though the boss may have just finished going through a list of things that have been done well and some that need improvement employees crave one-on-one contact and constructive feedback — positive or negative — from their boss. Some managers do a good job of addressing this question, if not on a day-to-day basis, then at least when they have a translator available.

As the growing season gets going, many managers spend more time by themselves on a tractor and less time

on the ground working with employees. Don’t forget to make time to communicate with your team! While you certainly won’t have the time for oneon one interaction like you do during less busy times of the year, setting aside time at the beginning of the month may make it a bit easier to follow through. Since you know it’s harder to fit in the time, be creative: send out a group text message, hold a quick meeting over coffee in the break room, or write a note to a group of employees who deserve congratulations on a job well done. Employees tend to become disgruntled when they don’t know

Expected participation for Shorthorn Junior National The 2013 National Junior Shorthorn Show & Youth Conference in Des Moines, Iowa Shorthorn juniors headed to Iowa this summer for the National Junior Shorthorn Show & Youth Conference (NJSS) should expect a big event.

Numbers are up from last year, totaling 718 head and 415 exhibitors preentered from 24 states. Iowa leads the state totals with 145 head entered and 82 juniors registered to participate, followed by Illinois with 130 head and 55 juniors entered.

The biggest Shorthorn youth event of the year will be held at the Iowa State Fairgrounds in Des Moines, June 2429. “Juniors Today — Leaders Tomorrow” is the theme for the NJSS with the goal to teach juniors about leadership, communication, stewardship, education, teamwork and mentoring.

Many juniors have already taken advantage of the opportunities provided that will be recognized at the NJSS awards banquet on Friday, June 28. This year 95 American Junior Shorthorn Association (AJSA) members applied for scholarships sponsored by the American

Shorthorn Association (ASA) and the Shorthorn Foundation. Eligible members could apply for seven different scholarships. Several other awards will be presented in addition to recognizing the newly elected AJSA Board of Directors who will lead the juniors for the next year.

“I think it speaks highly of our junior program when we look at the level of participation compared to the number of registrations,” said Montie Soules, ASA Executive Secretary/CEO. “We have one of strongest active junior programs in the beef industry.”

Those unable to make the shows in Iowa can watch live online on Wednesday, June 26, Friday, June 28 and Saturday, June 29 by visiting LiveAuctions.TV. A full schedule of events, in addition to rules and regulations and hotel accommodations are all available at www.shorthornjuniornationals.com.

Transitions in the team

by Jackson Wright It is with mixed emotions that I am announcing I will be leaving my position as Dairy Specialist with the NWNY team July 12. It is sad to leave, but also exciting as I will be pursuing my lifelong dream of becoming a veterinarian. I’ve enjoyed my role with Extension. This position consistently challenged me to think outside the box. I learned so much about the dairy industry and maybe more importantly, I got to work with some incredible people in the region. I hope that the programs I have started were beneficial and that my research interests will be an asset to dairy producers in the future.

I will be continuing my education at Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine and hope to become a large animal veterinarian. I know that my experience with Extension will be advantageous to me as I continue my

education, as working closely with farmers has given me greater perspective on the future needs of the dairy industry.

The Extension system continues to face challenges in the years to come.

However, Extension’s long history demonstrates its ability to adapt to meet the changing needs of the agricultural community. I feel privileged to have had the opportunity to work with the NWNY team. Many team members have acted as great mentors to me, for which I am extremely grateful. In addition, their dedication to agriculture is truly something to be admired and I hope I can emulate their enthusiasm throughout my career. I will truly miss this position, the members of the NWNY Team, and the great people in the region. Regardless of where my career takes me I will continue to root for the dairy industry in western New York, and GO BILLS!

Food Safety at Farmer’s Markets gloves as needed,” she said.

Presenting a good image by wearing clean clothes and having clean clothes works well as a marketing tool as well.

Samples at farmer’s markets Offering free samples at farmer’s markets is a great way to introduce customers to a product. However, before handing out samples, know the regulations. “Regulations vary. Some places don’t allow samples, others require training. Find out what applies,” Nwadike advised.

• When possible, prepare the samples at home. If cheese slices will be handed out, cut the cheese at home and place in a container with a lid to prevent contamination during transportation. Servers should always have a barrier between their hands and the food they are serving, whether it is gloves or tongs.

• It is difficult to prepare produce samples ahead of time because the quality suffers. “Use toothpicks in apple slices,” Nwadike recommended, “also, put out small amounts for quality and safety. It won’t dry out or pick up bacteria.”

• Post a list of ingredients • Wash fresh fruits and vegetables that will be used as samples • Display samples separate from what is sold so people’s hands do not

accidentally touch samples One resource on the topic of sampling is a publication by the University of Kentucky. It can be found at www.ca.uky.edu/cmspubsclass/files/ extensionpubs/2012-19.pdf.

Offering prepared foods or samples

at farmer’s markets or on-site farm stands is an excellent opportunity to introduce customers to a variety of products. Remember, find out what labeling and distribution regulations apply for your area before getting started.

Factors that affect hay quality

by Ashley Griffin, University of Kentucky Hay is the most common roughage fed to horses in confinement. A good understanding of the factors that affect hay production will help you select high quality hay.

Plant Species Rainfall at the proper time during the growing season will affect hay quality.

Drought conditions result in stunted growth and fewer leaves. Excessive moisture often leads to diseases that decrease leaf production.

Stage of Growth When plants mature and reach the reproductive stage of development, their protein content, digestibility, and palatability decline. The ratio of stem to leaf increases with maturity, so the plant has a higher fiber content.

Maximum nutrient content can be obtained by harvesting legumes when a few flowers start to appear. Grasses are harvested when the seed heads begin

to appear, and grain hays when the grain is in the soft-dough stage.

Weather Conditions Rain and too much sunlight are the two most influential factors that affect hay quality. Rain beats the leaves from legumes, leaches out soluble carbohydrates, and packs the hay so it doesn't dry properly. If hay is baled when it is too moist, it will become moldy and have a musty, moldy odor. Excessive sunlight will bleach the color of the leaves and causes a loss of vitamin A. If hay is cured too slowly, hay will ferment and lose its nutrient content.

Harvesting Conditions Harvesting conditions can also affect hay quality. If hay is cut and placed in windrows, the stems should be cut to allow for proper drying. Excessive movement of hay after it is cut can shatter the leaves and mix dirt and debris into the hay.

by Katie Navarra Why food safety?

Providing farm products that are as safe as possible is important to assure customers that quality, safety and their health are important to you. Not only is it an obligation to provide safe food, but it can also be used as a good marketing tool to encourage other customers to shop at your farmer’s market or farm stand.

The Center for Disease Control estimates that 1 in 6 get sick from foodborne illnesses, said Londa Nwadike, University of Vermont Extension Food Safety Specialist. “It (foodborne illnesses) are highly underreported,” she said, “there can be food borne illnesses from farmer’s markets products even though it doesn’t really show up on the (reporting) radar.”

Generally speaking, a healthy adult can consume some pathogens and not get sick. However, the young, the elderly, the pregnant, the sick, individuals with chronic illness, immune disorders and chemotherapy patients do not have the immune system to fight off pathogens.

Best safety practice #1 “Transport and store foods at the proper temperatures,” Nwadike said, “Maintaining the proper temperatures at the market and during transportation is key.”

Each State has varying regulations on acceptable food temperatures for foods sold at markets or distributed as samples. Regulations can even differ between counties. In Vermont, where Nwadike is based, hot prepared foods are required to be 135 degrees Fahrenheit or hotter, though she personally prefers 140 degrees Fahrenheit or higher.

Foods sold at room temperature including produce, canned goods, and baked goods are not considered highly perishable. “The proper temperatures for these foods are more about quality than safety,” she said.

Cold perishable foods including potato salads, dairy products should be maintained between 32-40 degrees and frozen foods should be kept at less than 15 degrees. “The most important thing is for every vendor to have a thermometer,” she emphasized.

Best safety practice #2 Minimize the possibility for crosscontamination.

“Ensure raw meat does not contact ready-to-eat food or produce,” she said, “if reusing (handle bags) ensure they are clean, no meat in it before, etc.” Often customers and/or friends donate plastic shopping bags to farms for use in the farm stand or at market.

Rinse them or even wash in the washing machine before reusing.

When serving prepared foods at the market or market stand, wash, rinse and sanitize all equipment and utensils used in preparing, cooking or serving the food.

Best safety practice #3 Practice good personal hygiene.

“This is complicated if you are working at a market as one person, but remember you’re shaking hands, touching animals, accepting money, wash your hands often and wear

Boxing with Pandora According to Greek mythology, the first mortal woman to be created was Pandora. The top divinity residing on Mount Olympus gave her a jar, and told her to never open it. But obsessed with curiosity, eventually, she opened the jar, which modern folks refer to as a box. Box or jar, according to the myth, the vessel was opened.

Pandora realized what she had done, but couldn’t slam the lid back on fast enough. Out flew every kind of disease and sickness, hate and envy, and all the bad things that people had never experienced before. Pandora slammed the lid closed, but it was too late. All the bad things were already out of the box. They flew away, out into the world, to plague humanity forever.

On May 30 (last week as I write) an e-mail link was forwarded to me from (Retired) Professor Ann Clark, who served many years in the Agronomy Department at Ontario (Canada) Guelph University. In that capacity she preached sustainable agriculture as much as she was allowed… and, at times, more than she was allowed. The article caroming off Clark’s keyboard was titled: “Unapproved GE wheat found on Oregon farm raises contamination concerns”.

The article was also part of a news release from the Canadian National Farmers’ Union (CNFU), headquartered in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. I’ll hit the article’s high spots, adding to them as I go.

According to Terry Boehm, CNFU president, genetically engineered (GE) winter wheat was found in the U.S. this spring when an Oregon farmer noticed volunteer wheat that survived after he sprayed with glyphosate (the world’s most widely-used herbicide) in preparation for spring seeding. On May 29, the USDA confirmed that the surviving wheat was, in fact) genetically

modified glyphosate-tolerant varieties of Triticum, wheat’s genus.

The GE wheat has never been approved for commercialization in the U.S. or anywhere else in the world, but was tested in experimental field plots in 16 states between 1998 and 2005.

The last test in Oregon was in 2001.

Unafraid of being accused of Chicken Littletype prophecies, Boehm went on record with his quote: “Of course the first thing that comes to mind on hearing this news is the GE Triffid flax contamination disaster, which cost Canadian farmers multi-millions of dollars in lost sales, reduced prices, testing and massive efforts to eradicate the rogue seed from our system ten years after we thought we had gotten rid of it by getting it deregistered and destroying seed stocks before it went to market”.

Boehm believes that American farmers may well be facing the same type of situation with their winter wheat, and that it is highly unlikely that this particular U.S. contamination problem “has spread to Canada because of our strict rules around importation of seed, however, it is both a warning and a lesson for Canada’s regulatory system.” Boehm continued, stating that the biotech giant producing and attempting to market GE wheat was allowed to do field testing of glyphosate-tolerant wheat in Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba from 1998 until 2004. Intense pressure from farmers forced the Canadian Food Inspection Agency to tighten up the GE wheat testing protocol to hopefully reduce the risk of contamination. He also believes that American wheat farmers are now very worried about losing export markets and suffering price discounts as a result of this confirmed contamination incident… and that, if this happens, their losses

could be enormous.

Glenn Tait, a CNFU board member, takes this ball (figuratively), and runs with it further, as he addresses the liability issues. He asks why the huge biotech corporations standing to profit enormously from marketing GE wheat were “allowed get away with setting loose their unapproved genetic material via experimental field tests and yet pay none of the consequences when it escapes? The market impacts of contamination are always borne by farmers who had no say

in whether, how, or where these field tests took place. This is an injustice and it is not acceptable.”

According to Boehm, Canada’s legal system does not address GE contamination liability matters, nor does the regulatory system consider the market impacts of genetically engineered crops or the effects of contamination on farmers who choose not to grow them. He believes that Canada should not allow any new GE crops — such as glyphosatetolerant alfalfa — to be field tested, approved or

sold until the regulatory system is revamped to take both market issues and contamination risks seriously. He worries that Canada’s regulators will parrot the U.S. agencies which, just months ago, approved the commercial production, and sale, of glyphosate-tolerant alfalfa seed.

As Boehm, last week, was putting his thoughts on paper (or more accurately on screen), wellknown journalist Andrew Pollack was writing, for The New York

Times, an excellent article titled: “Modified Wheat Discovered In Oregon”; check it out at www.nytimes.com/2013 /05/30/business/energy-environment/genetically-engineered-wheat.

And Professor Clark… who vividly remembers the run-away GE flax seed issue well enough to compare it to the potential wheat gene derailment in Oregon… sums up this scenario thusly: “The parallels are truly striking.

And creepy. Ann.”

A Few Words

by Phoebe Hall Farmers are eternally optimistic Anytime we receive a decent rain around Memorial Day as we have this year, there’s a 50 percent chance we’ll harvest a second cutting of hay. That is, as long as we get the warm temperatures and if we can get the first cutting off without too many difficulties. But we all know the ‘weather Creator’ is the final denominator.

Last year the alfalfa growers well remember what the drought and the leafhopper did to their hay crops. And we also shouldn’t forget our friendly armyworm invasion. Well, this year we’re having a whole new set of problems with some old, hungry critters.

Over the years, the alfalfa weevil usually made its yearly appearance, according to the CCE crop management guide, around the 20th of May. But this year in our alfalfa fields we noticed substantial feeding 10 days earlier and it looks like the beneficial parasites were caught napping because of the earlier date of the invasion.

Needless to say, we were napping too. I hope they aren’t a new mutated version of the old alfalfa weevil.

We also remember last year what the fruit growers endured with the fickle weather and the resulting small crop. Today a fruit grower told us that there is the potential for a record crop state-side. It doesn’t appear at this time any area was adversely affected by the weather.

The end results are; abundant crops — lower prices.

It seems that farmers are some of the most eternally optimistic people on the planet. No matter what is thrown at them, they always seem to be able to find just a little glimmer of hope in every lining of every cloud to enable them to keep pressing on!

Our second son pastors a church in southeastern Pennsylvania, in Bucks County. Almost on a weekly basis, he uses his farm experiences and other farm stories to communicate with his congregation.

Some of his illustrations we’ve never heard before and I’m surprised he lets his kids listen to them…

I wouldn’t if I were him.

We listen to him long distance on the church’s website and whoever said being raised on a farm was boring has never listened to his il-

lustrations. The whole congregation loves them.

This is one of his recent farm illustrations on hope. It seems that a farmer had twin sons, one was very pessimistic about everything and the other was an eternal optimist like farmers are.

On their 14th birthday, the father decided the pessimistic son needed help, so he gave him a beautiful pony. The son was completely dejected because he would now have to feed and clean up behind it.

But to the other son who was always optimistic, he gave a big crate of pony droppings.

The next thing the farmer knew, that son was ripping open the crate, climbing in and digging down into it as though he was digging for gold. The farmer asked his son, “What in the world are you doing?”

He excitedly replied, “I’ve always wanted a pony and with all the pony droppings in here, there has to be a pony in here some place.”

I guess it all depends on your perspective if you are going to make it in farming.

BECAUSE THE LORD IS MY SHEPERD, I have everything I need!

Statement regarding upgrade of United States’ BSE risk status ed States, American beef producers and businesses, and federal and state partners who work together to maintain a system of interlocking safeguards against BSE that protect our public and animal health. This decision demonstrates OIE’s belief that both our surveillance for, and safeguards against, BSE are strong. U.S. beef and beef products are of the highest quality, wholesome and produced to the highest safety standards in the world.

“Last year, exports of

U.S.-origin beef and beef products totaled $5.5 billion. With our negligible risk classification from the OIE, we have a strong foundation in place to continue increasing exports of U.S.origin beef and beef products. In doing so, we will continue to press trading partners to base their decisions on science, consistent with international standards.

U.S. food and agricultural exporters and consumers worldwide benefit when countries adopt science-based international standards.”

A View from Hickory Heights

by Ann Swanson Winter, Summer, and Spring all rolled into one!

This past week we have had snow, rain, wind, and sultry weather. We went from a couple nights of killing frost at the beginning of the week to temperatures near 90 before the week ended. My allergies have been in full swing. Everything is in blossom and that gets to me.

I could not believe it when I headed out the door on an errand. Yes, those were really snowflakes in the air. It did not stick to the ground, but it continued to come down for quite a while. When I got to town I told everyone I saw that it was snowing up on my hill.

On Memorial Day I could hardly find enough clothes to put on in order to keep

warm. We ate our birthday dinner indoors.

It was my youngest grandson’s 11th birthday. He was born 11 years ago on Memorial Day. That year it was not so cold.

We actually enjoyed a picnic and a hay ride that day.

By the middle of the week it was so hot and humid that everyone was uncomfortable.

You can only take off so many clothes.

The longest day of the year has not arrived so summer is not officially here. Many consider it to be summer after Memorial Day. I did not even plant flowers at the cemetery because I

refused to go down every night to cover them and return the next morning to uncover them. The graves have shrub planted so they look presentable anyway. Our pretty purple irises were in bud but not yet in blossom. Here at home mine are long gone.

We can be very thankful that we did not get the storms that they had out on the plains. Although a tornado did touch down, the effects were comparatively small. It was just a minor inconvenience you might say.

Our farm house has seen two tornados through the years. The

first one that came took off part of our roof. We had moved into the house the fall before the storm. Besides loosing roofing we lost a bunch of trees out back. Thank goodness the barn suffered no damage and all of the animals were all right. We did find a high school diploma from a city about 35 miles from here. I mailed it back to the school so that it could get to its rightful owner.

The second tornado hit during the month of August. That year I had just returned from the fair.

Our children showed cattle and we had been gone all day.

Right after we got into

the house the storm hit. A large branch from one of our trees went right through the windshield of our car. Of course, the electric was out. A tree was felled in the yard as well.

Even as I write about all that I consider how lucky we were not to have any significant damage to our home.

It seems like there have been a lot of fierce storms lately. There is not much that can be done about Mother Nature. We just have to endure the storm and mop up afterwards.

Conservation Stewardship program applications due by June 14 DURHAM, JUNE 3, 2013 — The Natural Resources Conservation Service’s Conservation Stewardship Program will provide about $175 million in funding nationally for up to 12.6 million additional acres enrollment this year.

Although applications are accepted all year, farmers, ranchers and forestland owners interested in CSP should submit applications by June 14 to their local NRCS office to ensure they are considered for this year’s funding. The deadline was extended from May 31.

The voluntary program allows producers to go the extra mile in conserving natural resources while also maintaining or increasing the productivity of their operations.

“CSP is different than our other financial assistance programs,” said NRCS Acting Chief Jason Weller. “It offers pay-

ments to producers who maintain a high level of conservation on their land and agree to adopt higher levels of stewardship. It’s about conservation activities on the entire operation, focusing on multiple resource concerns.”

Playing a significant part in conserving and improving our nation’s resources, producers enrolled an additional 12.1 million acres in CSP last year, bringing the total number of acres to more than 50 million.

Many of the CSP enhancements improve soil quality, which helps land become more resilient to extreme weather.

Several other improvements are available for producers, including intensive rotational grazing, intercropping and wildlife friendly fencing.

Because of the extreme weather in 2012, more interest and participation in the cover crop enhancements is expected this year, according to NRCS experts.

Country y Folkss Edition n

BEEF PRODUCER Official Publication of The New York Beef Producers’ Association

Applicable to all

by Miranda Reiman N/A. It’s that option in a multiple choice survey or sign-up sheet that stands for “not applicable.”

It’s something that often crosses my mind when I see a news headline about a far-off

city facing an economic crisis or promoting a study on the benefits of eating brussels sprouts. (Sorry to any of you growers. It doesn’t matter how good they are for me, that’s a taste I just can’t seem to acquire.)

I also hear that “N/A” attitude among cattlemen when it comes to grid marketing.

At first glance, that makes sense. Perhaps you’re a farmer-feeder selling cattle via pickup and trailer at the local auction barn and topping that market. You may have no chance or desire to get involved in other forms of marketing. If you’re a cow-calf producer who sells cattle at weaning, with little or no feedback on how they do after weaning, you likely have little interest

in grid formulas or what’s going on with negotiated sales.

However, regardless of your level of participation in it, this beef industry marketing trend has caught on in a big way and it affects you.

Just seven years ago, grid sales and other arrangements made up half of the fed cattle marketings, with live cash sales making up the other half. Today, nearly three-quarters of all finished cattle are sold on some sort of grid or negotiated basis.

Still, how is that applicable to you?

It means that the entire industry is really starting to see that cattle are diverse in their ultimate beef value, and they should be valued accordingly, on individual merit. When a feeder gets a cash bid, the cattle buyer is mentally placing those animals on a grid. He bases how much he can pay on the range of what he thinks

they’ll do compared to the plant averages for quality and yield grade.

Every head that runs through the salebarn is quickly evaluated for how well they’ll likely do in that same situation.

In all the cash sales, there’s more guessing involved as to the range and degree of uniformity.

Feeders know this.

When they buy calves into the yard, they’re doing the same thing. They may have a breakeven price in mind, but then they have an idea which ones they can grid and hopefully recoup some value above their lesserquality counterparts.

Bottom line: They’ll pay up for the better cattle, if they can feel sure it’s worth the gamble.

Finished cattle all used to be sold at virtually the same price each week.

They were a commodity.

That’s changing.

Now producers who pay extra attention to genetics, handling, nutrition and health can ac-

tually get paid for doing what some of their neighbors chose not to do. It wasn’t that way several decades ago.

It doesn’t matter if they’re sold at auction or direct, value differentiations are getting wider.

Often we hear about the lag time it takes after any decision made, to see the results in the beef industry.

The genetics you’re selecting today will be scrutinized years down the road. The steady upward march of this grid marketing trend leads me to believe it has become so well established that it’s the new normal. The bulls you buy today will make calves and replacements sold into a market that is increasingly concerned with how the cattle do beyond just weight.

That’s a good thing to keep in mind as you consider the effect grid marketing has on your program.

NCBA statement on OIE vote to upgrade U.S. to “Negligible” risk for BSE NEW YORK GREENVILLE SAW SERVICE 5040 Rt. 81 GREENVILLE, NY 518-966-4346 HIMROD FARM SUPPLY 3141 HIMROD RD. HIMROD, NY 14842 315-531-9497

WASHINGTON — National Cattlemen’s Beef Association (NCBA) President-Elect Bob McCan, a cattleman from Victoria, Texas, made the following statement about the vote by the Scientific Commission for the World Organization for Animal Health (OIE) to upgrade the United States’ risk classification for bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) to negligible risk status: “This announcement

by OIE’s Scientific Commission is very positive news for U.S. cattle pro-

ducers. The U.S. being classified as negligible risk for BSE by the OIE further solidifies the fact that the safety and health of our cattle and our beef is a top priority for American cattlemen and women. With the implementation of multiple interlocking safeguards by the U.S. beef industry and our partners, we have successfully been able to prevent BSE from becoming a threat to the U.S. beef supply, which remains the safest in the world. The vote by the OIE, an internationally

recognized, standardsetting body, is proof that the science-based mitigation measures in place in the United States effectively protect our public and animal health.

“This announcement is an important step forward in increasing export opportunities for U.S. cattle producers.

This is a significant achievement for the United States, our beef producers and federal and state partners who have successfully collaborated on this issue.”

Fifteen livestock groups urge Senate to pass the ban on formula contracts BILLINGS, MT — Fifteen national and state livestock groups including R-CALF USA, sent a joint letter on May 30 to U.S. Senators urging them to aggressively support the bipartisan Farm Bill amendment sponsored by Senators Mike Enzi (R-WY), Tim Johnson (D-SD), and Jon Tester (D-MT). The amendment, Senate Amendment 982, would prohibit the largest meatpackers from using anticompetitive formula contracts to procure livestock from independent cattle and sheep feeders.

According to the group’s letter, the

amendment would end the meatpackers’ practice of enticing cattle and sheep feeders to commit livestock under a formula contract that, while granting livestock sellers timely access to the marketplace, does not even include a negotiated base price. For this reason, the groups refer to anticompetitive formula contracts as un-priced contracts.

The numbers of cattle that have exited the price-discovery cash market in favor of formula contracts has skyrocketed during the past several years. According to national data collected by the U.S.

Department of Agriculture (USDA), the volume of cattle sold in the price-discovery cash market shrank from 52 percent in 2005 to only 26 percent in 2012, while the volume of cattle procured under formula contracts increased from 33 percent to 55 percent during the same period.

The group’s letter explains that formula contracts are anticompetitive because their ultimate settlement is based on prices discovered in the cash market, which is a market the meatpackers can readily manipulate simply by avoiding it and

A&L Laboratories introduces effective detergent for CIP systems SUPERKLEEN alkaline detergent is formulated for efficient and economical cleaning

Page 14 - Section A • COUNTRY FOLKS West • June 10, 2013

With the introduction of new SUPERKLEEN™, dairy producers now have an efficient and economical solution to cleaning bulk tanks and CIP systems.

The new product, available from A&L Laboratories, features an improved formulation for better, more effective removal of fat and protein while providing increased hard water tolerance. This unique, lowphosphorous, non-foaming liquid formulation goes into solution immediately and rinses freely

to clean systems better than ever before.

An incredibly economical choice at 1 ounce per every 2-4 gallons, SUPERKLEEN helps dairy producers manage bacteria counts (both PI and SPC) while providing effective CIP cleaning they can trust to keep their dairy farm equipment clean.

SUPERKLEEN is available through registered A&L dealers and distributors throughout the U.S. As with all products from A&L Laboratories, it is backed by the appli-

cation expertise of A&L milk quality experts who regularly visit the dairy to ensure that each milking system is cleaning to its highest potential.

Since 1951, A&L Laboratories, Inc. has been developing and manufacturing quality cleaners, sanitizers, and udder hygiene products for the food industry and dairy far m market.

A&L Laboratories is a privately held company serving the food industry and dairy farmers internationally.

relying on their formula livestock.

“The meatpackers have created a vicious conundrum,” said Bill Bullard, CEO of RCALF USA .

Bullard explained: “First, the meatpackers restrict timely access to the marketplace for independent producers, forcing them to enter formula contracts; second, the meatpackers rely on their formula livestock to avoid the cash market, causing the cash market to fall; finally, the meatpackers slaughter their formula livestock and pay the livestock producers a price based on the depressed cash market that the meatpackers had just manipulated.”

“Dominant meatpackers are able to artificially lower the price they pay for all cattle and sheep,” the groups highlighted in their letter.

In support of their call for the ban on anticompetitive formula contracts, the groups

wrote that the U.S. sheep flock has declined by more than half in just three decades and lamb prices fell over $100 per head between early 2011 and mid-2012, a period when consumers continued paying high prices for lamb.

“Also, while consumers continue paying record prices for beef, independent cattle producers have suffered horrendous, long term losses. During the 26month period from March 2011 to April 2013, when beef prices were reaching historic highs, independent cattle producers lost an average of about $116 per head for every animal sold to the dominant meatpackers,” the letter states.

The letter concludes, “Both the cattle industry and the sheep industry are shrinking fast and neither industry will recover on its own unless Congress takes immediate action

to end the manipulative practices caused by the dominant meatpackers’ use of anticompetitive formula contracts.”

Groups that joined the request for the ban on formula contracts include: Buckeye Quality Beef Association (Ohio), Cattle Producers of Louisiana, Cattle Producers of Washington, Colorado Independent CattleGrowers Association, Independent Beef Association of North Dakota (I-BAND), Independent Cattlemen of Nebraska, Independent Cattlemen of Wyoming, Kansas Cattlemen’s Association, Missouri’s Best Beef Co-Operative, Murray County, Oklahoma Independent Cattlemen’s Association, Nevada Live Stock Association, Northern Wisconsin Beef Producers, Organization for Competitive Markets (OCM), RCALF USA, and South Dakota Stockgrowers Association.

Breeding Stock for Established Breeders & Those Starting

Meeting traceability requirements Use AngusSource® Genetic to document animal identification.

Earlier this year, the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) enacted a new rule regarding animal disease traceability. The rule requires livestock,

18 months or older, to have official identification and a certificate of veterinary inspection (CVI) or similar documentation before moving interstate.

To comply with new regulations, each state is reviewing their current policies and, if necessary, revising them to meet national standards.

Both the shipping and receiving states must

agree on what is considered acceptable official identification.

Accepted identification varies, depending on location and could include brands, tattoos, ear tags, registration papers, cer-

tificates, owner-shipper statements or a combination of ID systems.

While many producers will not need to change their management practices to comply with the new traceability rule, those planning to sell replacement heifers or breeding bulls across state lines must meet requirements of receiving states. (View a list of regulations by state online).

Luckily, the American Angus Association offers cattlemen options to comply with the new traceability require-

ments.

AngusSource® Genetic The value-added program, AngusSource Genetic, provides cattlemen with ear tags featuring a 15-digit unique animal identification number (AIN), which is accepted as official documentation according to new traceability rules.

Ginette Kurtz, AngusSource quality manager, says the newly improved program offers flexible, user-friendly ID management options.

“Herd identification should be top of mind, given the new traceability rule and as spring calving season winds

Requirements from A3 down and cattlemen prepare to move their herds to grass.” Kurtz said.

“AngusSource has undergone some changes that bring more capabilities in-house. It’s now easier than ever to enroll your calves and capture the value of documented Angus genetics.”

AngusSource Genetic is designed for commercial cattlemen who want to document their calves’ genetics, age and source.

The program uses a tamper-evident AIN tag.

To be eligible for AngusSource Genetic, calves must be sired by registered Angus bulls, born on the ranch of origin, and have calving or breeding records to document group age.

“AngusSource Genetic will give potential buyers specific data and more information on the bulls you used to sire the calf crop,” Kurtz said. “The program also gives you additional marketing support and passes on documented information from one of the most trusted names in the beef business, the American Angus Association.”

Kurtz says the difference is in the tag. Producers can choose between a generic version to meet the animal traceability requirement, or enroll in AngusSource Genetic program that meets requirements and improves marketability through Angus-based commercial programs and services.

Angus record keeping tools The process does not end after the official identification is assigned. It’s equally as important that the AIN, brand or tattoo is properly documented in herd records and passed along to the buyer if the animal is sold.

One option the Association offers that meets this need is Angus Information Management Software (AIMS). A Windows-based software package, AIMS can simplify herd record keeping by giving Angus breeders a central location for all their information.

“The key to traceability is being able to store the proper identification markers and provide them when the animal is sold or moved,” said

Scott Johnson, AIMS director. “Our software makes the process very simple and helps producers quickly pull reports about the animal’s history.”

The greatest advantage of using AIMS, as it relates to the new rule, is that the soft-

ware can store and report back a variety of identification fields, such as tag, tattoo, electronic ID, registration number and other user -defined fields.

Specific examples of reports available through AIMS can be found online. And as the indus-

try becomes more digitally based, AIMS can also be synced with electronic tag readers to instantly access and update information.

A variety of e.Tags and traditional ear tags are available for purchase online through the Association’s Tag Store.

Any combination of these resources should be of assistance when considering options to comply with the recent USDA animal traceability requirements. Exceptions to the rule are show cattle and rodeo stock; however, events across the country do

require specific identification and health records. The Association’s activities and events department can answer questions relating to show requirements. For more information, visit the Association website at www.angus.org.

Equine Safety: Defensive Horse Safety

by Erin Madden, The New York Center for Agricultural Medicine and Health-NYCAMH In recent years, horses have become more common on farms and in rural areas. The number of horse related injuries has increased dramatically as well. Youth under 15 years of age account for one in five horse related emergency department visits in the United States. There are some safety measures that should be taken

into consideration by horse owners in order to keep themselves, their family members and the horse safe.

Some safety tips to remember when working with a horse include: • Remember, safety first! A lifetime of enjoyment for both you and your horse can be ruined by just a moment of carelessness.

• Keep equipment on the horse properly fastened. An unbuckled noseband or throat latch can seriously damage the horse’s eye if it

shakes its head.

• Never tie a horse up by the reins. If the horse pulls back it can damage its mouth or break the reins.

• When tying a horse, always use a sturdy halter and lead rope tied with a quick release knot. The tie knot should be at the horse’s eye level so the horse can’t get much leverage if it pulls back when tied.

• Turn horses out into new areas when there are plenty of daylight hours for the horse to explore its new surroundings and find the fence line.

• Walk horses around the perimeter of a new area before turning them loose.

• Gradually introduce new horses into an established herd.

• Be careful when sep-

arating horses that are used to being together so they don’t injure themselves trying to get back together.

• Never turn the horse out or leave it in the stall with a halter on. The horse could catch its halter on something and injure itself.

• Always have a halter and lead for each horse within easy reach of the stall or the pasture. This way you can move horses out quickly in the event of an emergency.

• Let your neighbors know how to reach you in case of an emergency.

Injuries are often caused by falls from the horse, the horse falling on you, or getting kicked or stepped on.

Common injuries from horses include broken bones, bruises, sprains and strains, internal in-

juries and concussions.

By being aware of the horse and following the basic safety tips you can fully enjoy time with your horse.

Remember • Never approach a horse from directly behind — talk softly and touch them gently as you approach.

• Never stand directly behind a horse. If you are grooming its tail, stand to one side and pull the tail gently over.

• Proper lighting in facilities is imperative — because of horses’ fight or flight instincts, horses can shy or kick out.

• Understand a horse’s flight zone and use it to move them where you want them to go.

• Facilities should be properly designed and maintained for safe animal handling.

• Horses need good footing — keep walking areas free of ice and mud.

Stung by safety The sting or bite of some flying insects, spiders, fire ants, and snakes is poisonous.

The sting or bite pumps venom into the body, much like a doctor’s shot, except that a bite damages, not heals, the body.

Stinging insects include bees, wasps, yellow jackets, and hornets. Although wasps, yellow jackets, and hornets look nasty, bees are far more dangerous.

Bee stings contain more venom than the other insects and bees are

more likely to sting. A person is 42 times more likely to die from a bee sting than a poisonous snake bite. Usually bee stings only cause death if the person is stung repeatedly in a short time, or the person is allergic to the venom.

Two poisonous spiders live in the United States – the black widow, identified by a red hourglass on its abdomen, and the brown recluse, which has a “violin” on its back. Both types of poisonous spiders are reluctant to bite, and the

amount of venom in each bite varies. However, the venom produced by these spiders is very powerful and can be deadly.

Snakes are the most famous poisonous creatures. About 7,000 to 10,000 people are bitten every year by poisonous snakes, but only 12 to 15 people die from the bite. Most poisonous snake bites in the United States are from rattlesnakes, copperheads, and water moccasins (also known as cotton mouth). They

In their writing for this textbook, the NYCAMH nurses also discuss the development and implementation of Bassett

About NYCAMH / NEC In the early 1980s, two pulmonologists, Drs. David Pratt and John May at the Mary Imogene Bassett Hospital in Cooperstown, shared an interest in researching occupational health and safety issues among New York's farming population. This initial work

was known as the Bassett Farm Safety & Health Project. In 1988, their work received official designation by the New York State Legislature as the New York Center for Agricultural Medicine and Health (NYCAMH), now a program of the Bassett Healthcare Network.

In 1989, under the New York State Department of Health, NYCAMH became one of seven members of the New York State Occupational Health Clinic Network. This provided the opportunity to discuss and disseminate agricultural safety and health information to other occupational health specialists throughout the state. In 1992, NYCAMH became one of seven agricultural centers designated by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), to be known as the Northeast Center for Agricultural Medicine (NEC). The NIOSH Centers, located in geographically designated regions act by cooperative agreement to address pertinent and emerging problems related to occupational safety and health in agriculture, forestry, and fishing.

NYCAMH from A18 Theory and Practice described rural nursing predominantly in the mid to northwestern states. The editors were interested in including a northeastern perspective of rural nursing practice in the fourth edition, which is now in print. An invitation to author this new chapter was extended last year to NYCAMH’s nurses, who are part of an interdisciplinary team of

Grange presents first William Saunders Award for Rural Awareness to RAM during luncheon WASHINGTON, D.C. — National Grange President Edward L. Luttrell on June 3 presented RAM the first William Saunders Award for Rural Awareness for their Super Bowl Commercial, “God Made a Farmer.”

“This commercial was not about RAM, but about the way RAM validated and honored the values of farmers and farm families,” Luttrell said before presenting the award to Carlos Jimenez, Director of Chrysler’s Mid-Atlantic

Business Center. “It made a nation pause and reflect on the work that goes into feeding America and much of the world and started a conversation in small towns and large urban centers.”

Jimenez accepted the award and spoke to a crowd of about 30 Grange leaders gathered for the annual National Grange Fly-In, held to encourage members of the 145year -old organization to speak directly to their elected officials

about issues of importance to rural Americans and the agriculture sector.

“Farmers are the embodiment of what the RAM brand stands for humble but confident,” Jimenez said during his presentation.

Jimenez said one major goal of RAM when creating this campaign was to “raise the awareness of urbanites about agriculture and what farm communities do on a daily basis.”

“This commercial sharply elevated the

imagery urbanites have of the farming community,” Jimenez said.

“We are truly proud to be the recipient of this first William Saunders Award for Rural Awareness. There is an entire floor of RAM thrilled to be honored in this way.”

RAM had a goal of raising $1 million in YouTube views of the commercial for FFA to support Feeding the World - Starting at Home Campaign, Jimenez said. Within a week, he said, they had

met that goal.

Jimenez talked about the other steps RAM is taking to support FFA, including the release of a coffee table picture book with about 200 pictures shot as part of the 2013 Year of the Farmer campaign in which 10 photographers were hired and spent 25 days taking more than 4,000 images that were reduced to the 35 shown in the commercial. Proceeds from the book will go to a soon-to-be-announced FFA program,

Jimenez said.

The Fly-In began Sunday evening with a briefing by Joel White, President of Council for Affordable Health Care Coverage, on the status of the Affordable Care Act and ran through Tuesday. Democratic Representative and Ranking Member of the House Agriculture Committee Collin Peterson also spoke to attendees about the status of the Farm Bill and expected developments in a Republicancontrolled House.

small modifications to allow for these additional cattle over time, but find themselves “maxed out” or in need of significant investment to outdated facilities. Others may

consider growth when faced with a change in operations — such as inclusion of additional family or partners in the farm business. Regardless of why, dairy owners should ask themselves a few questions to gauge their preparedness for growth.

• Does the current financial situation of your farm allow for cash flowing additional debt, and how much debt are you comfortable taking on?

• Do you have longterm access to adequate land to grow feed and handle manure for the additional milking cows and youngstock?

• Do the key decision makers in the business have the interest and management capability to take on additional cows?

• Is herd growth and the resulting capital investment in keeping with the strategic and personal goals for your farm business and family?

If the stakeholders in your farm agree to the answers to these questions and that growth is in your future, you have a wealth of resources in western New York, including the Dairy Modernization Specialist, to improve the process of creating a business plan, designing facilities, acquiring financing, and adapting operational strategies to encompass more cows.

by Beth Dahl, WNY Dairy Modernization Specialist, Harvest NY Dairy farms are getting bigger. Good, bad or indifferent, this is a nationwide trend, and New

Use conservation for pond algae control Treating a pond with barley straw is an alternative way to control excess algae growth in ponds without using herbicides.

As the barley straw decomposes in your pond it inhibits the growth of algae. It is best to treat your pond with barely straw before an algae bloom because of

its action in prevention for long term water quality. Don’t fall behind this year, treat your pond before the summer season gets under way and the algae and plants get out of control.

Wayne County Soil and Water Conservation District will be selling barley straw rolls this

year, taking orders now through the end of June 2013. We are taking the work out of wrapping and floating the straw, providing you with an easy solution, and effect way to use barley straw in your pond. The roll will be easy to handle and ready for installation into your pond. Rolls

can be returned and refilled every season for a reduced cost of the replacement of the barley straw. It is conservation and recycling all in one.

We are selling the rolls in two sizes to accommodate different pond sizes.

Roll Size, Acres Treated, Price • Small 1/4 $7

• Large 1/2 $14 • Small and Large, 3/4, $21 • Two Large, 1, $28 Please call to place an order. We also offer general pond consultation to help pond owners decide how to manage their pond and different solutions for land management surrounding your pond. For more in-

formation stop by our office at 10 Leach Road, – L yons, Monday Thursday from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. or call us at 315-946-4136.

USDA seeks sign-ups for wetlands, grasslands conservation programs WASHINGTON, D.C. — USDA’s Natural Resources Conservation Service is accepting applications from landowners interested in the Wetlands Reserve Program and Grassland Reserve Program.

A new round of funding authorizes $255 million to enroll up to 100,000 additional acres into WRP and

restoration cost-share agreement, retaining ownership of the land once the agreement is in place. More than 11,000 private landowners participating in WRP are already protecting more than 2.6 million acres of America’s wetlands.

Through the Grassland Reserve Program, landowners and managers apply for conservation easements or rental agreements that support conservation of working grazing operations, enhancement of plant and animal

Anyone interested in these voluntary programs should contact their state or local NRCS office. Sign-up dates and deadlines vary by state, and applications are accepted throughout the year.

The Wetlands Reserve Program helps landowners restore and protect wetland ecosystems on private and tribal lands. They may select a permanent or 30-year easement or a

From flora to fauna: New DNA profiling technique beefs up cattle genomics ITHACA, NY — A pioneering genomics technique developed at Cornell University to improve corn can now be used to improve the quality of milk and meat, according to research published May 17 in the online journal PLOS ONE. A team led by Ikhide Imumorin, an assistant professor of animal genetics and genomics in the Department of Animal Science at Cornell, is the first to apply a new, inexpensive yet powerful genomics technique to cattle called Genotyping-bysequencing (GBS). The protocol contains only four basic steps from DNA to data, and Imumorin’s work demonstrated it can generate enough markers to put cattle genomics on the fast track.

“Breeders are interested in cattle with traits such as high meat or milk quality, disease resistance and heat tolerance, but identifying the best animals means sorting through thousands of

unique gene variants in the genome,” said Imumorin. “Until recently, the cost of genomics techniques has set too high a bar for breeders, and many cattle species, particularly those outside the United States and Europe found in Africa and Asia, were excluded from the genomics revolution.”

Using samples from 47 cattle from six breeds from the United States and Nigeria, Imumorin’s team used GBS — itself developed

by Rob Elshire, the sequencing technology lead in the lab of Ed Buckler, a research geneticist with the U.S. Department of Agriculture Agricultural Research Service and adjunct professor of plant breeding and genetics at Cornell — to identify more than 50,000 genetic markers for genetic profiling.

Their analysis showed the markers were preferentially located in or near the gene-rich regions in the arms of the chromosome, making them

well sited for tagging genes in genetic studies. They also demonstrated that the markers accurately detect the relationships among the breeds.

“GBS democratizes genetic profiling, and our work shows its usefulness in livestock,” said Imumorin. “While a genetic profile could run $70 to $150 per individual using commercially available methods, GBS brings the cost down to around $40 a sample or less.

It’s a very exciting time.”

Imumorin predicts that GBS will be deployed by breeders and geneticists scanning herds for superior breeding stock. He cited the example of how selection of bulls for use in breeding programs will be streamlined through GBS-driven genome analysis around the world without the steep cost of commercial SNP chips, the standard tool based on gene variants dis-

covered in European cattle breeds and made into off-the-shelf genotyping chips.

“For example, a bull can have genes for superior milk production, but the only way to test that is to evaluate milk production in his daughters,” said Imumorin. “A bull will be at least five years old before two generations of his offspring can be evaluated, and that’s a long time for breeders to take care of a bull which may not make

Hay & Forage Hay in a day In recent years, the adoption of incorporating a wide cutting swath in forage harvest to speed up the dry down process has been increasing on farms across the United States.

The earliest use of this “hay in a day” concept was probably back in the day of sickle bars, where the entire cutting width was laid out behind the mower.

As mower designs changed and width increased, the entire mowing width was merged by the mower into a narrower swath.

The result of a more

rapid dry down rate is higher quality forage at harvest.

Forage investigators note that the quality of the forage that reaches the cow’s mouth is dependent on three factors: when you start harvesting, how long it takes for you to complete the harvest and how much quality is lost during harvest. Work on swath management shows how much quality loss occurs during harvest is affected by HOW you harvest hay crop silage.

The plant continues to respire during the wilting and drying process of

cut forages. This respiration process consumes plant sugars (energy) in plant cells and produces oxygen and water. The longer it takes forages to dry to the ideal moisture content for chopping, the longer the forage is respiring in the field.

Respiration of these cells continues until the plant is fermented as a haylage crop or dried sufficiently as a hay crop. In addition to energy losses, dry matter losses can be significant. How producers manage their hay swath can greatly affect the time of haylage har-

vest. Wide swath management allows forages to dry more rapidly and shortens the time from cutting to harvest to minimize this post harvest respiration period.

The drying rate of hay crops is influenced the most by sunlight reaching the forages, which in turn increases the swath temperature and reduces humidity. A full width swath increases the drying surface of the swath by 2.8 times. In many trials, it has been shown that moisture reductions from 85 percent to 60 percent can be reached in as little as 5 to 7 hours, hence the term “Haylage in a Day”.

The bottom line is that the forage produced with

minimal respiration results in higher nutrient content of the forage.

Think about laundry drying. A dense pile of laundry does not dry and neither does a narrow swath of haylage.

The rate of water loss is dependant on the amount of the laundry or forage that intercepts sunlight. The greater the amount of surface area exposed to sunlight, the greater the affect on the drying rate. This affect is even greater than conditioning or turning the mowed swath.

Another factor found to affect drying rate for haylage is to not condition the crop. Conditioning crimps plant stems

How can I check the temperature of large hay bales?

To check the temperature of large hay bales, insert a thermometer into the hay to take a temperature reading. Monitoring the temperature of large hay bales can be dangerous, so it is important to take appropriate safety precautions

when performing this task: • Always work with a partner when monitoring the temperature of hay bales.

• Before checking the temperature of stacked bales, place wooden planks or plywood across tops of the bales.

The person checking the bales’ temperature should stand on these

planks to help distribute his or her body weight and reduce the risk of falling into a burned-out cavity.

• The person testing the hay should wear a harness and lifeline attached to a secure object. If an emergency occurs, the observing partner can pull the other person out of the hay.

dangers of this task, never assign youth workers to monitor the temperature of hay bales.

There are commercial thermometers available to test the temperature of stored hay. If your commercial thermometer is not long enough to insert into a bale, you can fabricate a probe from a 10 ft. length of 3/4 in. diameter iron pipe. Drill eight 3/16 in. diameter holes about 3 in. from one end of the pipe. Hammer that end of the pipe into a sharp edge to create a probe. After inserting the probe into a hay bale, use a piece of thin wire to lower a thermometer down to the end of the pipe.

Keep the thermometer in this position for approximately 10 to 15 minutes to obtain a temperature reading.

(The steps you should take next depend on the temperature of the hay.)

If you do not have a commercial thermometer, you can use a 3/8 in. pipe that is 8 to 10 ft. long to check the temperature of baled hay.

The person testing the hay should drive the pipe into a bale and leave the pipe in place for 20 minutes. When it is withdrawn from the hay, if the pipe is too hot to touch with a bare hand, the hot hay should be removed.

If left intact the plant plumbing system will function until whole plant moistures drop to approximately 60 to 65 percent, the ideal moisture for haylage. Conditioning is important for making dry hay, as the crimping allows additional moisture to leave the stems at moistures below 60 percent.

Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea Virus (PEDV) Confirmed in U.S. The USDA confirmed that Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea Virus (PEDV) has been identified in the United States for the first time. The National Veterinary Services Laboratory found PEDV in a small number of U.S. herds through testing.

“This is not a new virus, nor is it a regulatory/reportable disease,” said Lisa Becton, DVM, director of swine health information and research for the Pork Checkoff. “Since PEDV is widespread in many

countries, it is not a trade-restricting disease, but rather a production-related disease.”

The virus was first discovered in England in 1971. Since then, the disease has been identified in a number of European countries and Canada, and most recently in China, Korea and Japan.

PEDV only affects pigs and is not zoonotic.

Therefore, it poses no risk to other animals, humans or food safety.

It is similar to transmissible gastroenteritis

(TGE) and is transmitted through the fecaloral route with acute diarrhea symptoms within 12 to 36 hours of onset. Producers are advised to immediately report any signs of illness in their pigs to their herd veterinarian.

“We are monitoring this disease and will make recommendations to producers as necessary,” Becton said.

For more information, visit pork.org, or contact Lisa Becton at LBecton@pork.org or 515-223-2791.

April milk production increased New York dairy herds produced 1,138 million pounds of milk during April according to Blair Smith, State Statistician of USDA’s National Agricultural Statistics Service, New York Field Office. This is up 1.7 percent from a year earlier but down 1.9 percent from March.

Dairy farmers in the Empire State received an average of $20.20 per hundredweight of

milk sold during April, down $0.20 from March but $2.30 more than April a year ago.

Milk production in the 23 major States during April totaled

16.1 billion pounds, up 0.3 percent from April 2012. March production, unrevised at 16.4 billion pounds, was down 0.1 percent from March 2012.

Broome County 4-Hers excel at state 4-H horse presentation competition Submitted by Kelly Adams The 4-H program of Broome County is pleased to announce that three of our 4-H youth were asked to represent the county at the State 4-H Horse Public Presentation Event held at Cornell University on May 18. Kelsey Keathly, Natalie Barrows, and Jenna Keathly presented their speeches at a county level event back in January and were selected to advance to the regional competition, which hosts youth from eight surrounding counties.

At that event the youth scored extremely well and were asked to represent the region at the State level event. Youth ages 14 and up can then qualify as a New York State presentation representative at the Eastern National Round-Up event in November.

All three youth did an

excellent job at the State event, against some very tough competition. Kelsey placed 9th in New York State in the Senior Division with her presentation entitled, “Balancing Act.” Jenna presented on “Practice Makes Perfect,” and Natalie’s presentation on “Tolt and Pace,” earned her 8th place in New York State in the Junior Division.

Home,, Family,, Friendss & You Honoring our flag On June 14, 1923 the National Flag Code was adopted at the National Flag Conference.

The meeting was held in Washington D.C. to establish procedures for displaying the United States Flag.

The code was based on Army and Navy practices. In 1942, Congress passed a joint resolution to make the Flag Code a law.

Today, we celebrate June 14 as Flag Day. Although it is a law, there are no penalties and the Flag Code is a voluntary guide for showing respect to the U.S. Flag.

Forty-seven states have their own laws with penalties that prohibit desecration of the flag or its use for advertising or publicity.

Flag etiquette

Page 28 - Section A • COUNTRY FOLKS West • June 10, 2013

• The U.S. Flag should be displayed from sunrise to sunset, unless it is well lit during the darkness.

• The U.S. Flag should always be placed above other flags and pennants. There is one exception during a special Navy ceremony at sea.

• On a stage, the U.S. Flag should always be placed behind the speaker and to his/her right.

• When hanging the U.S. Flag vertically or horizontally from a wall or window, the canton, or union, should be at the top right of the flag. When you face the flag, it should be on your left.

• On Memorial Day, the U.S. Flag is flown at half staff until noon, and then raised until sunset.

• The President of the United States, governors and limited other government officials may direct the U.S. Flag to be flown at half staff.

• The U.S. Flag should not be allowed to touch the ground, but if it does, you are not required to destroy it as long as it is still suitable for display.

• It is acceptable to wash or dry clean a U.S. Flag to keep it in good shape.

• Only all-weather U.S. Flags made of nonabsorbent material should be displayed during bad weather.

• When a U.S. Flag has served its life, it should be destroyed, preferably by burning. Many American Legion posts have special ceremonies on Flag Day, June 14. You may have your own ceremony to discreetly burn worn out flags.

• Never use a U.S. Flag to cover a statue or monument or drape the flag over the hood, top, sides or back of a vehicle, train or boat.

• The U.S. Flag should not be used as wearing apparel, including costumes or athletic uniforms, bedding or drapery.

• Every schoolhouse should display the U.S. Flag during school days.

• The U.S. Flag should never be used for advertising purposes.

Donna’s Day: creative family fun

by Donna Erickson Dad will flip over ‘Pancakes for Pop’ Father’s Day is just around the corner on June 16, and what better way for Dad to greet his day than with a platter of pancakes the kids have monogrammed with an imprint Dad will never forget?

The lettering is simple and fun to do. A few refrigerator magnet ABC’s or letters cut out of poster board are all you need for stencils to compose a name or word on a plateful of pancakes. After kids sift powdered sugar over the letters, the reveal is the dramatic moment. But shhh! It’s a secret. Save the surprise for Dad! Here’s my easy-to-prepare pancake recipe that wins kudos from friends and family every time I make it. Every pancake is light, fluffy and ready for fresh fruit, syrup and your favorite toppings. Grate some lemon zest into the batter for zip, or toss in some brown sugar for a sweeter taste. Any way you like it, Dad will too.

There’s a special job for each child in your family, from cracking the eggs to flipping the pancakes on the griddle.

Donna’s Day Hearty Pancakes Step 1: In a medium bowl, one child may stir the wet ingredients of 12 tablespoons melted butter, 1 cup sour cream and 2 cups milk.

Step 2: In a second bowl, another child can measure dry ingredients in twos! Stir together 4 cups allpurpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking soda and 2 tablespoons baking powder. Add a teaspoon of salt.

Step 3: In a large third bowl, beat 8 large eggs with a whisk. Add wet ingredients and stir together. Add dry ingredients and stir until combined.

An adult should heat the pan and pour 1/4 cupfuls onto hot greased griddle. Cook the pancakes until golden brown.

For Father’s Day fun, set toy alphabet letters or stencils on each pancake to make a word, like “DAD,” and sift powdered sugar on top. Remove stencils and serve. Makes 30 medium-size pancakes.(c) 2013 Donna Erickson Distributed by King Features Synd.

by Angela Shelf Medearis Give Dad a fun-filled basket for Father’s Day Father’s Day is fast approaching, but I don’t stress about what to get “the man who has everything” any longer.

I’ve learned that a personalized, handmade gift basket is the best way to go with both my Dad and my husband.

One year I gave my husband a basket full of hot sauces. He loved it and enjoyed trying out all of the different, spicy varieties.

Since my father and my husband both loves movies, this year I’m making them a personalized MOVIE TIME popcorn, snack and DVD collection as their Father’s Day gift. I’m using a large bowl that I’ll personalize using a computer label and/or write on with a craft pen.

I’ll fill the bowl with bags of microwave popcorn and the crunchy, salty snacks they both love.

I’m also making four different kinds

of homemade flavor mixtures that they can shake on their popcorn. I’m placing the mixture that into large salt-andpepper shakers and personalizing them with labels that I’ll make on my computer.

I’ll place the shakers, popcorn, nuts, granola and retro movie candy, and their favorite or newly released DVDs in their MOVIE TIME baskets. I have recipes for homemade popcorn flavorings below.

Chocolate Popcorn Flavoring Make this delicious chocolate flavor mixture for your movie popcorn gift basket.

1 package sweetened, instant cocoa mix 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon Cajun Popcorn Flavoring 2 teaspoons paprika 1 teaspoon onion powder 1 teaspoon garlic powder 2 tablespoons salt 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1 pinch cayenne pepper (optional) Curry Popcorn Flavoring 1 tablespoon curry powder 2 tablespoons salt 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 1 teaspoon turmeric 1 pinch of cayenne pepper (optional) Southwestern Popcorn Flavoring 1 1/2 teaspoons chili powder 1 tablespoon paprika 1 tablespoon ground cumin 2 tablespoons salt To make these flavoring mixtures, simply place the combination of the flavor ingredients you desire in a large measuring cup. Stir the ingredients together with a fork until combined, and transfer the mixture into a large salt or pepper shaker. Make a computer label with the name of the flavor mixture or write on the salt or pepper shaker with a craft pen. Place shaker with flavor mixture in a large popcorn bowl or gift basket.

Here’s how to make a specialty Father’s Day Gift Basket. You can use this method to create a personalized basket containing your Dad’s favorite things: 1. Purchase a large, plain bowl or basket, or a container that fits the theme of the gift (for example: toolbox for TOOL TIME gift basket; fishing tackle box for GONE FISHING basket, etc.

2. Crumple up some Father’s Day wrapping paper and put it in the bottom of the basket. If the basket is very deep, you may want to put some Styrofoam or a small cardboard box

under the wrapping paper to elevate the gifts.

3. Arrange the gifts with the largest gift in the back. Work toward the front until you know how you want it all to be arranged. Make sure it is balanced and nothing will fall out over the edges.

4. Place a piece of double-sided tape or a glue dot between the gifts where they touch to hold them together. This will also prevent shifting and breakage of glass items. Use double-sided tape or a glue dot to hold the gift card on to the front of the gift so that it doesn’t get lost in the mix.

5. Place a big bow on the front of the bowl or basket. If it has wire to hold it on, then push one wire just under the rim of the basket to the inside. Pull the other wire over the top of the rim and twist it together. You also can stick the bow to the basket using double-sided tape or glue dots.

Remember, the best gifts are the ones given with love! Happy Father’s Day! (c) 2013 King Features Synd., Inc., and Angela Shelf Medearis

2012 corn crop still needs to be monitored The 2012 corn crop delivered many of the problems that were foreseen throughout last year’s growing season.

Decreased yields, variable quality and mycotoxins have affected livestock production throughout North Ameri-

ca. However, this crop may still be causing trouble as we dig deeper into the storage bins.

Alltech’s 37+ Program surveyed 329 samples from July 1 through Dec. 31, 2012. Only one percent of the samples analyzed were free of

mycotoxin contamination; 94 percent were contaminated with two to 10 mycotoxins. In corn grain samples, 95 percent contained Fumonisin and 48 percent contained DON. In corn silage, 90 percent contained Fumonisin and

84 percent contained DON. The DDG samples contained 100 percent of both Fumonisin and DON. In all samples tested, aflatoxin was present in 18 percent.

“The ‘take home’ out of this data set is that the 2012 corn crop is widely

contaminated with multiple mycotoxins that can decrease animal performance and health,” said Dr. Max Hawkins, Alltech Myctoxin Management Team. “However, as aflatoxins’ allowable level in feed and its metabolite M1 in milk

Country Folks has partnered with the New York State Corn and Soybean Growers Association to publish the summer edition of the Association's newsletter, The NY Crop Grower. This will be a special insert to the JULY 15th edition of Country Folks East and West.

It will also be mailed to all of the members of the association and to prospective members. This will also be taken to Empire Farm Days in Seneca Falls in August.

are legislated, its presence is not as widespread and is more regionalized.”

According to Hawkins, 37+ analyses conducted since Jan.1 has shown similar results but with an interesting new finding. The numbers of mycotoxins present are increasing.

“This increase in the total numbers of mycotoxins over time can be attributed to areas such as poor fermentation and inadequate packing or face management that can contribute to further mold growth and mycotoxin production,” Hawkins said.

At harvest time, it was recommended for mycotoxin contaminated grain to be dried to 14 percent moisture within 24 to 48 hours to stabilize mold growth and ensure adequate grain storage. By limiting mold growth, mycotoxin production can be stabilized, but any mycotoxins already present would remain.

According to Hawkins, as temperatures remained warm in the fall, many growers aerated the bins and discovered that the mold and mycotoxin levels increased rapidly. As storage facilities have been emptied this spring, high levels of mycotoxins have been found in the lower levels of the facilities, where the fines and cracked kernels tend to concentrate.

Hawkins recommends these five tips for producers using the last of their 2012 crop: 1. Only run aeration fans during the coolest times of day or night.

Hold grain at 50 degrees Fahrenheit or less and 14 percent moisture or less.

2. Mold growth in storage is greater where there are leaks in facilities and where fines and damaged kernels are concentrated.

3. The south side and tops of grain bins warm quicker as daytime temperatures begin to increase.

4. New mold growth will increase temperature and moisture in surrounding grain.

5. Continually monitor stored grain for temperature, moisture and mycotoxins.

Women farmers empowered by Annie’s Project

by William McNutt Annie’s Project was founded 10 years ago by Ruth Hambleton, the daughter of Annette Fleck, in whose honor the project of educating and enabling women to become farm managers, is named. Hambleton retired from a 30 year career as extension educator at the University of Illinois in Farm Management and Marketing.

She started Annie’s Pro-

ject in 2003, after a lifetime career observing the needs of farm women for information and education. In this 10th anniversary year, a national goal of starting 10 new course work projects in each state has been set.

Annie herself was a very successful farm manager who grew up on a small town in Northern Illinois, graduated from teachers college and taught first and

second grade before her goal of marrying a farmer became a reality.

She then moved into a house containing three generations devoted to a low profit agricultural enterprise, with varying pressures from the family with varying opinions about achieving a profitable business. Annie gradually emerged as the leader while raising four children. She kept the records that helped

point out mistakes, as well as how to become profitable. She kept both the farm business and the family on an even keel, while maintaining a happy family life. Big decisions that could be made based on her meticulous record keeping supported needed changes and resulted in changing long running but not too profitable farming practices.

With considerable dis-

Many graduates say the main benefit they receive from Annie’s Project came from retaining the camaraderie of learning together, plus helping and mentoring when needed.

approval from her extended family, she sent her husband off farm to work while she milked the cows and kept an egg route in Chicago.

Her record keeping began pointing the way to moving out of dairying and poultry, then renting the remaining farm operations to better equipped and bigger farmers. She paid her

share of expenses and did the marketing for corn and soybeans, becoming wealthy in the process, though never evading criticism. Project classes concentrate on such matters as risk management, financial records, estate planning and marketing among many others, encouraging participants to make changes on the basis of what they have learned. During six weeks of intensive three-hour sessions, these and many other subjects are covered by extension experts.

More women are involved in agriculture in managerial roles than ever before — 7,000 women in 22 states have completed Annie’s Project training coursework since 2003. Five years later, 20 workshops had been completed, with half that number to be added for the anniversary year. Many graduates say the main benefit they received came from retaining the camaraderie of learning together, plus helping and mentoring when needed.

Like Annie in her day, many workshop graduates have helped improve the profit picture by changing or modernizing the enterprise.

With the national trend toward local foods and direct marketing, new opportunities for growers of specialty vegetables and small fruits has taken on a new lease.

But the possibility of expanded income brings increased risk, one result has been expanded emphasis on food safety for this type of unprocessed food product going directly from grower to consumer.

Extension educators develop the six week curriculum, usually in conjunction with a local committee that often includes previous class attendees. Resource personnel are secured from state and local extension educators, such as local bankers, insurance and real estate experts, plus leading farmers in the community who have developed a successful enterprise, and also have the ability to lead an educational forum type session. Regional extension specialists are always available in areas such as dairy, livestock, agronomic and specialty crops, who stress not only production and management techniques, but the ever increasing need for knowledge about commodity markets for agronomic crops, plus expanding fresh market direct sales at auctions, municipal marketing locations and through community supported agriculture, with food safety sessions now added to an already crowded curriculum.

If interested in knowing more about Annie’s Project, contact your local extension agent for details.

DuPont leader encourages next generation to get involved in global food security On May 21, DuPont Pioneer President Paul Schickler urged leaders from across government, business and non-profit organizations to invest in today’s youth to solve the greatest challenge of tomorrow’s generation — feeding 9 billion people. Schickler spoke at the Chicago Council on Global Affairs Symposium and shared stories of outstanding students who have made a commitment to feeding a growing world population.

“My parents’ generation put a man on the moon; my generation put a computer in every pocket. Feeding the world will be the great challenge of generations to come,” Schickler said.

“It is a challenge that will need to engage the best minds in information technology to food processing, international trade to water and land resources, political reform to culinary sciences. Together, I know we can feed the world.”

This year’s symposium, for the first time, included university students nominated by leaders in food and agriculture to represent the future scientists, engineers, policy makers, and more who are critical to increasing food production worldwide.

Schickler shared several students’ stories of how they will combat world hunger in their lifetime at the conference.

“We must ask ourselves what we are doing to support today’s leaders, scientists and farmers who are feeding the world, and that next generation who will take our place,” Schickler said.

“The collaborations and innovations that will increase global food security will be fueled most of all by the enthusiasm of generations to come.”

DuPont has committed to engage more than 2 million young people in food and agriculture educational opportunities by 2020 as one of the company’s food goals unveiled in 2012. A fastgrowing world population coupled with increasing urbanization and protein demands are

driving the need for more talented young people to consider careers in agri-

culture. Over the last six years, DuPont Pioneer has created more than

1,000 jobs a year and continues to grow.

B100 to fuel pulling tractors New rule allows biodiesel to boost tractors this season A partnership between U.S. soybean farmers and the National Tractor Pullers Association (NTPA) will reach another milestone when the NTPA begins allowing the use of 100 percent biodiesel, in all diesel pulling classes for this season.

This is the seventh season the soy checkoff has partnered with the NTPA to promote the use

of biodiesel to pulling fans, including many farmers, truck drivers and other diesel users.

A study funded by the state soy checkoff board in Minnesota and conducted by United Pullers of Minnesota found using biodiesel in pulling competition can provide a 4 percent increase in torque and horsepower.

“Performance results like these are an added bonus to the environ-

mental and economic benefits of using biodiesel,” said Larry Marek, soy checkoff farmer-leader and a soybean farmer from Riverside, Iowa. “If NTPA pullers can get these kinds of results on the track, we can certainly get great results using B100 on the farm.”

Also returning to the track this season will be the “Powered by Biodiesel,” Light Pro

Researchers develop a faster method to identify Salmonella strains UNIVERSITY PARK, PA — A method that promises to reduce by more than half the time it takes health officials to identify Salmonella strains has been developed by researchers in Penn State’s College of Agricultural Sciences.

The finding is important because it promises to significantly speed up the response to many outbreaks of foodborne illness, allowing epidemiological investigators to “subtype” the exact strains of Salmonella that make people sick and to more quickly find — and eliminate — the source of the disease.

“There are more than a million estimated cases of salmonellosis annually in the United States, resulting in approximately 400 deaths, nearly 20,000 hospitalizations and an economic burden of millions of dollars,” said study lead author Nikki Shariat, postdoctoral researcher in molecular microbiology in the Department of Food Science.

“Right now, publichealth laboratories use a technique called pulse field gel electrophoresis, or PFGE, to subtype Sal-

monella strains, and it normally takes one to three days to identify a specific strain. The technique we devised often takes just one day.”

Working in collaboration with Carol Sandt, a scientist with the Bureau of Laboratories, Division of Clinical Microbiology, in the Pennsylvania Department of Health, and Eija Trees, a microbiologist at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Shariat was able to develop the new approach to identifying bacteria strains.

For the study, which was published online in May in the Journal of Clinical Microbiology, the state health department provided Penn State researchers with Salmonella samples to subtype.

“Compared to the current method being used nationally and internationally to subtype Salmonella, our approach is faster,” Shariat said.

“The significance of that is you need to trace the source of an outbreak as quickly as you can before you start insisting on restaurant and farm closures.

this serovar increased by 46 percent between 1999 and 2009. In 2009, Newport accounted for 9.3 percent of total salmonellosis cases.

“The significance of our work is not just that we can subtype Salmonella strains in half the time or less compared to the protocol that is used right now, but also our approach is very comparable in terms of the data — our method yields results that are accurate and similar to the PFGE method now widely used.”

The researchers had an opportunity to test the accuracy of their CRISPR-MVLST method in an impromptu blind study. Toward the end of the research project, they applied their analysis to a Salmonella outbreak that occurred in Pennsylvania last summer associated with tomatoes, in which 37 people got sick.

“The Pennsylvania Department of Health sent us 20 isolates, 10 from

“It is important to pinpoint the source of the bacteria — the quicker you do that the quicker you can respond to the disease outbreak.”

Working under the direction of Edward Dudley, associate professor and the Casida Development Professor of Food Science, Shariat developed the new approach, designated as CRISPRMVLST, to identify strains of the Salmonella serotype Newport.

The method focuses on two virulence genes and two novel regions of Salmonella DNA called clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats, or CRISPRs. The researchers devised a method of multi-virulence-locus sequence typing, or MVLST, that can detect strain-specific differences in the DNA at these four locations.

Newport is the third most common serological variant of Salmonella, Shariat pointed out, and the incidences of

the outbreak and 10 not from the outbreak, and we did the analysis not knowing which ones were which,” Shariat explained. “We were able to identify exactly those that were associated with the outbreak.”

The CRISPR-MVLST method also is likely to be much cheaper, she suggested. “Additionally, the DNA sequence is basically a text file that is very easy to communicate and share between

laboratories nationally and internationally,” Shariat said. “The data is definitely more robust.”

Shariat explained that the new method is different from current methods of evaluating bacteria because it looks at the DNA sequence, whereas the other method basically cuts the DNA into small pieces with no actual sequence information.

ASA welcomes Senate passage of waterways bill With a vote of 83 to 14, on May 15, the Senate overwhelmingly passed the Water Resources Development Act (WRDA), a move cheered by the American Soybean Association (ASA), whose members rely on a healthy waterways infrastructure to move their soybeans to market.

“Improving and investing in our waterways infrastructure is vital to the U.S. soybean industry,” said ASA President and Canton, MS, soy-

bean farmer Danny Murphy. “With more than half of our crop exported, soybean farmers depend on an efficient transportation system to remain competitive in global markets. We face stiff global competition from many countries, and our ability to get our products quickly and efficiently to market is one of the aspects that sets our industry apart from those competitors. We simply cannot afford to ignore the needs of that

S. 601 includes provisions supported by ASA to annually increase the amount of funding that is provided from the Harbor Maintenance Trust Fund (HMTF) for port maintenance and dredging; to streamline the process for Corps of Engineers projects and re-

duce project completion times; and to free up money and increase the capacity of the Inland Waterways Trust Fund (IWTF) by taking the Olmsted Lock and Dam project out of the trust fund account.

Additionally, ASA was pleased that the Senate unanimously adopted an amendment to S. 601 offered by Senators Mark Pryor (D-AR) and James Inhofe (R-OK) to exempt certain farms that store oil in aboveground tanks

IWTF and establish alternative financing mechanisms in order to provide more money to address inland waterways infrastructure projects,” added Murphy, “we appreciate the significant progress that is made by S. 601 and we look forward to continuing work with Congress to achieve enactment of a final WRDA in 2013.”

Get a head start on managing your fly population this season Warm weather is just around the corner and with the warm weather come flies. Not only are flies a nuisance to both animals and employees, they impact the health and well-being of the animal and cause economic losses that can last a lifetime. Heavy housefly populations can lead to any number of viral and bacterial diseases, such as bovine viral diarrhea (BVD), parainfluenza 3 (PI 3), pinkeye and bacterial scours.

A proactive approach to preventative fly control measures will add to your bottom line and your calves’ health.

“Curbing fly populations early in the season is a much more effective approach than trying to control a large and established fly population,” notes Gary Geisler, calf and heifer specialist with Purina Animal nutrition LLC. Even a small amount of manure can result in an over-abundance of flies.

Geisler recommends

utilizing a variety of prevention and management strategies to manage calf housing fly populations — before they get out of control.

“One of the most simple and effective ways to control fly populations is using a feed fortified with a larvicide, such as ClariFly®,” he said. “The advantage to adding a larvicide to feed is that there is no extra labor involved. Feed your calves and heifers as usual and let the larvicide do the work.” Ideal-

Management tips for potato leafhoppers in alfalfa

Page 14 - Section B • COUNTRY FOLKS West • June 10, 2013

Potato Leafhoppers (PLH) are one of the most common and destructive insects affecting alfalfa. While there is no reliable method to forecast damage, DuPont Pioneer forage specialists offer up scouting tips for this pest.

Identification Adult PLH are yellow, wedge-shaped insects that can grow to be 1/8 inch long and can jump or fly from plant to plant.

Nymphs are paler in color, smaller in size and lack wings.

PLH feeding causes leaf chlorosis and plant stunting. An initial symptom is V-shaped yellowing at the leaf tips. With severe or prolonged feeding, stressed

leaves will turn reddish or bronze.

Economic damages include yield reduction, but severe damage can cause a reduction in crude protein content, carbohydrate reserves in the taproot and plant growth.

Another item to keep in mind is that very young plants in early stages of regrowth, and second- and third-cutting alfalfa are most susceptible to PLH and resulting plant damage.

Thresholds for treatment Growers should scout alfalfa fields using a sweep net beginning in June. When scouting, be sure to log findings in the Pioneer® Field360™ Notes app.

This will allow growers to see if a problem is arising nearby.

For non-LH resistant varieties, spray when leafhopper count per ten sweeps exceeds average plant height in inches. For LH resistant varieties, spray when leafhopper count per ten sweeps exceeds three times the alfalfa height in inches.

Harvesting infected stands is another option and may be required as this potentially reduces egg, nymph and adult populations.

ly, a larvicide should be introduced 30 days before flies usually begin appearing and should be fed throughout the summer and into the fall.

Feeding a larvicide is safe and compatible with an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) program.

Beyond introducing a larvicide, Geisler also recommends these five proactive management practices to stay ahead of fly populations: 1. Store manure and soiled bedding away from calf housing. Manure is an ideal habitat for the production of flies because they tend to lay their eggs in it.

Fly breeding sites can be eliminated by clean-

ing pens and hutches on a regular basis.

2. Keep feed fresh and free of moisture. Molasses, a common feed ingredient, can be a tasty attractant for flies. To keep molasses at a minimum, start calves with a handful of feed and change it every day until they are eating their full allotment.

Not only will this decrease the number of flies near calves, it can also prevent feed loss and waste.

3. Clip grass and overgrown vegetation.

Flies like to hide out in tall grassy areas.

4. Avoid any accumulation of feed, manure and water as this will attract flies.

5. Manage the fly

population with scatter baits as needed. If fly populations really get out of control, use pesticides that kill flies on contact. Remember to always read product labels carefully before applying any pesticide and/or bait.

Begin implementing these tips just before the arrival of warm weather, allowing calves to stay healthy and comfortable. By reducing stress caused from flies your calves can concentrate on eating, resting and growing, which can allow heifers to enter the milking herd at an earlier age.

Don’t let flies get the best of your calves this summer.

Corn farmers return to nation’s capital in advertising, educational campaign WASHINGTON, DC — For the fifth year in a row, policymakers in our nation’s capital are learning about the U.S. family farmers who produce corn, our nation’s top crop, as part of the Corn Farmers Coalition program. Once again, the program, which is sponsored by the National Corn Growers Association and its state affiliates, showcases how innovative and high-tech corn farmers have become by introducing a foundation of facts about farmers and farming.

“This has always been a crucial time of year in Washington to make sure our lawmakers and those who influence them remember the importance of corn farming to our nation and our economy,” said Pam Johnson, NCGA president and a corn grower in Iowa. “Our state corn checkoff programs have seen the importance of this program each year for educating a very im-

portant audience about this essential crop and its high value.”

The Corn Farmers Coalition program launched June 1 with a major advertising presence in Washington that puts prominent facts about family farmers in front of thousands on Capitol Hill, starting with “station domination” at Union Station through the month of June. The large-format ads will travel to the Capitol South Metro station for July. In addition, online advertising will appear in publications such as Politico, Washington Post, the New York Times, Roll Call, National Journal, and Congressional Quarterly.

Among the facts presented in the campaign, from the U.S. Department of Agriculture: • America’s corn farmers exported $7.6 billion worth of corn last year — one of the few U.S. products with a trade surplus.

• 95 percent of all corn farms in America are family owned, and family farmers grow 90 percent of America’s corn.

• Thanks to advanced technology, last year corn farmers delivered the 8th largest crop — despite the worst drought since 1936.

This year, the campaign also features important messages from Field to Market, the Alliance for Sustainable Agriculture: • America’s corn farmers have cut soil erosion 67 percent by using innovative conservation methods.

• The energy used to grow a bushel of corn decreased 43 percent, thanks to family farmers’ use of technology.

• The land required to grow a bushel of corn has decreased by 30 percent.

• Corn farmers have reduced greenhouse gas emissions by 36 percent, thanks to improved farming practices.

mist Bill Brooks warns that forecasts for continued stormy weather and high beef prices limit the prospects for a seasonal increase in processed cheese demand for grilling. On a brighter note, the lower block prices have increased interest for export sales, according to DMN. Cooperatives Working Together (CWT) accepted three requests for export assistance this week to sell 299,829 pounds of cheese to customers in Asia. The product will be delivered through August and raised CWT's 2013 cheese exports to 57.126 million pounds plus 51.727 million pounds of butter, 44,092 pounds of anhydrous milk fat and 218,258 pounds of whole milk powder to 31 countries.

The U.S. Dairy Export Council (USDEC) reported in its May Export Profile that 2012 U.S. cheese exports grew nearly 16 percent, breaking the $1 billion mark for the first time.

USDEC added that the export level was no fluke or temporary spike but called it "a milestone more than a decade in

the making."

But, FC Stone dairy broker, Dave Kurzawski warned in the May 30 eDairy Insider Opening Bell that "Dairy products now appear to be plentiful. Absent bullish demand-side news, we expect steady to lower spot prices as we roll into June and more pressure on Class III." He added that "The current situation is quiet demand and widely available product," and says "The question is, will we see a resurgence in demand in

the next 30 or 45 days."

In March, talk of drought in New Zealand rallied prices and sparked export demand for the second quarter, he explained. "The U.S. still appears to be the place to look from a pricing and product availability perspective for international buyers" and "probably why the market is taking its time moving lower."

Cash butter dropped another penny this week following a 6 1/2-cent loss the previous week,

but is still 14 cents above a year ago. Seven cars found new homes this week and the AMS butter price averaged $1.6081, down 3.1 cents.

Butter production is very active in the Central Region, according to DMN, helped by Eastern cream shipments. Northeast butter output is increasing due to cream supplies which were expanding ahead of Memorial Day. The increase in cream was prompting increased production of

Mielke from B16 bulk butter as numerous butter makers were forced to expand inventories.

Western butter production remains heavy with cream continuing to

find its way to the churn.

Bulk butter prices are varied, with Western

prices ranging from 3 to 5 cents under the market, Northeastern prices

being 4-8 cents over the market while Central bulk butter interest was termed flat by many market participants.

Cash Grade A nonfat dry milk remained at $1.68 and Extra Grade at $1.70 per pound all week. AMS powder averaged $1.6560, up 2.2 cents, and dry whey averaged 57.42 cents per pound, up 0.3 cent.

Farm milk production is in various stages of reaching or moving away from the seasonal peak, according to USDA's weekly update. Hot, humid weather in the Southeast is affecting cow comfort and milk production. The Pacific Northwest is benefiting from moderate temperatures while Southwest dairy operators indicate heat is adding to cow stress.

Memorial Week marks a seasonal change in fluid milk demand for many areas of the country, according to DMN, as educational institutions gear down, and reduce single serve orders more milk is

clearing to manufacturing. Milk handlers and processors in most areas report manufacturing facilities have the capacity to clear the milk and, in some cases, plant operators were looking for additional milk for the weekend but hadn't had any luck on the spot market.

Feed availability and costs continue to affect dairy operations. Milk marketers in the Central region note that many dairies opted for lower energy rations to bridge the gap between feed on hand and new crop forages. This has taken a toll on milk production that may not improve substantially when the cows do get fresh feed, USDA warned.

California hay producers are on their third cutting, with the Southwest into second cutting.

Hay prices, delivered, stretch from $230-$250 per ton in California and the Southwest to $350$450 per ton in the Central Region.

USDA also reported this week that, as of May 26, 86 percent of the corn has been planted in the 18 major producing states, off from the fiveyear average of 90 percent. About 54 percent of the crop had emerged, behind last year's 89 percent and the fiver-year average of 67 percent.

The Weekly Crop Progress report also showed 44 percent of U.S. soybean acreage has been planted, down from 87 percent a year ago and a 5-year average of 61 percent. About 14 percent of the crop had emerged, compared to last year's 57 percent and the five-year average of 30 percent.

FC Stone's May 29 eDairy Insider Closing Bell says weather and planting progress have led to questions about potential yields and possible shifts of unplanted acreage to soybeans or other crops. U.S. cotton acreage will likely drop 15-20 percent and result in a reduction of cottonseed supply of a half million tons, possibly as much as a million tons, according to Cotton Incorporated's Tom Wedegaertner. Details are posted at www.wholecottonseed.com.

Ethanol production capacity little changed in past year U.S. fuel ethanol production capacity was 13.9 billion gallons per year (903,000 barrels per

Mielke from B17

Meanwhile; DMN reports that the New Zealand milk production season is moving towards the lower point of the year. Milk cows are being dried off or culled. Pasture conditions are poor to fair; only marginally helped by recent rains. The impacts of the cooler weather and slowing of the growing season are noted. More processing plants are reducing schedules or closing on or before schedule and it remains to be seen what impact this will have on global dairy prices.

Australian milk output was down 9.6 percent in April after being down 7 percent in March, according to Jerry Dryer's May 24 Dairy and Food Market Analyst. March data is the latest available for the EU, he said, and showed a 2.6 percent decline; with New Zealand down nearly 17

day), as of Jan. 1, 2013, according to a report released by EIA on May 20, 2013.

The report shows a

very slight incr ease in the total capacity of operating ethanol plants compared to Jan. 1, 2012. A total

of 193 ethanol plants were operating as of Jan. 1, 2013, compared to 194 plants operating a year ear-

l i e r.

Most fuel ethanol production capacity, about 91 percent, is located in PADD 2.

percent and Argentina, down 6.9 percent. Bottom line, according to Dryer, is that milk production in the top five dairy exporters was down 3.1 percent during March.

DairyBusiness Update (DBU) cautions that "The rapid growth of New Zealand's dairy sector is straining the island nation's already limited resources," according to Brad Gehrke, director, global trade analysis. He warned that "New Zealand milk production gains have largely been driven by farm conversions and greater numbers of dairy cows. Moving forward, producers will increasingly need to rely on intensification of production systems, more cows per acre and significantly higher use of supplemental feed which translate into higher production costs."

As of June 30, 2012,

New Zealand housed about 6.5 million head of dairy cattle, according to Gehrke. "In U.S. terms, that equates to taking all the dairy cows in California, Idaho, Michigan, Minnesota, New Mexico, New York, Pennsylvania, Texas and Wisconsin and cramming them into an area about the size of Colorado and then having enough pastureland to feed them all, plus more than 31 million sheep and 3.7 million beef cattle."

Australian milk output is trending lower along seasonal patterns. The growing season is waning and grass and pastures are less conducive to needs. There has been mostly adequate moisture, but temperatures are cooling. More cows are being dried off for the season. Manufacturing milk supplies are slowing and more

plants are being shut down for maintenance and idling.

Back on the home front; the Agriculture Department estimates that March fluid milk sales totaled 4.4 billion pounds, down 4.2 percent from March 2012.

And, speaking of fluid sales; two national dairy organizations have urged Nevada Governor Brian Sandoval to veto legislation that would allow the sales of raw milk directly to consumers, arguing that the food safety risks of the measure represent too great a gamble with the public's health.

National Milk (NMPF) and the International Dairy Foods Association stated in a letter to Sandoval that Assembly Bill 209 would "greatly increase Nevadans' risk of serious illness because of the potentially dangerous bacteria that are

often present in milk that has not been properly pasteurized."

"Gambling with the health of your state's residents, particularly its children," is a bad bet," said NMPF President and CEO Jerry Kozak in the letter.

"While choice is an important value, it should not pre-empt consumers' well-being," he said, likening consumption of unpasteurized milk to a game of Russian roulette.

The letter cited a 2012 report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) which found that between 1993 and 2006, unpasteurized dairy products resulted in 73 known outbreaks, causing 1,571 cases of foodborne illness, 202 hospitalizations, and 2 deaths.

The CDC also concluded that unpasteurized milk was 150 times more likely to

cause food-borne illness outbreaks than pasteurized milk, and such outbreaks had a hospitalization rate 13 times higher than those involving pasteurized dairy products. The CDC has reported that nearly 75 percent of raw milk-associated outbreaks have occurred in states where sale of raw milk was legal.

Will Focus On:

Broad National Energy Coalition throws support behind Domestic Alternative Fuels Act of 2013 New House bill seeks to modify the Renewable Fuel Standard The Domestic Fuel Solutions Group (DFSG), a coalition of business, transportation, agricultural, food industry, dairy, livestock and state legislative interests seeking solutions to the problems plaguing U.S. energy policies, is throwing its support behind the Domestic Alternative Fuels Act of 2013 (HR 1959), which was introduced in the House of Representatives by Rep. Pete Olson (R-TX) and Rep Jim Costa (D-CA) and 16 congressmen from both political parties. HR 1959 aims to amend section 211(o) of the Clean Air Act to allow the energy and fuel industries to use alternative feedstocks such as ethanol derived from natural gas to satisfy their obligations under the federal Renewable Fuels Standard (RFS).

Currently the RFS limits the feedstocks that are eligible to produce conventional ethanol to renewable sources like corn. But increasing mandates for corn ethanol, coupled with the recent drought and other weather -related factors, have put enormous pressure on corn supplies and prices, severely impacting the fuel, agriculture, livestock, transportation and food service industries and creating hardship for consumers who depend on affordable corn and fuel prices.

With efforts to secure waivers to the RFS or repeal it altogether unable to gain traction in Washington, D.C., Congress is now taking a more moderate approach in the hopes that reasonable modification of the RFS will

see strong bipartisan support. “Modifying the RFS to add ethanol from sources like natural gas would not only benefit our producers, but as one of the largest natural gasproducing states in the country, it would also strengthen our state’s economy,” said Adam McClung, Executive Vice President of the Arkansas Cattlemen’s Association, a DFSG member. “In addition, encouraging a strong alternative fuel market will also ease the burden of energy costs for Arkansas consumers.”

“Many of our members are in agriculture,” said DFSG member Paulette L. Pyle, the Grass Roots Director for Oregonians for Food and Shelter, “and those members are suffering today under the high price of animal feed and other corn-based

products. We are supportive of steps that would help stabilize and lower animal feed products for our members and one way to do that is to look at reforming the conventional biofuels portion of the Renewable Fuel Standard.”

Cosponsors joining in support for the bill include: Rep. Barton (RTX), Rep. Cole (R-OK), Rep. Crawford (R-AR), Rep. Cuellar (D-TX), Rep. Fahrenthold (RTX), Rep. Flores (R-TX), Rep. Green (D-TX),

Rep. Griffin (R-AR), Rep. Hall (R-TX), Rep. Morino (R-PA), Randy Neugerbauer (R-TX), Rep. Poe (R-TX), Rep. Schrader (D-OR), Rep. Vela (D-TX), and Rep. Welch (D-VT).

The DFSG, which has a broad base of members from across the industrial and political spectrum, believes the Domestic Alternative Fuels Act best exemplifies the “all of the above” approach to US energy policy. “We’re not looking to take corn out of ethanol or re-

place the advanced biofuels program,” said Seth Jacobson, Executive Director of DFSG. “We’re all for having a full diversity of sustainable, low cost and environmentally friendly resources available to make alternative fuel. Allowing natural gas into the RFS is a reasonable solution that aligns perfectly with the ‘all of the above’ approach while reducing our dependence on foreign oil.

That’s why we’re supporting HR 1959.”

Integrating best practices for growing barley improves yield, reduces wild oats and preserves herbicide effectiveness The award for worst weed in western Canada goes to the wild oat. In field crops, it costs growers millions of dollars in lost yield each year. It also contributes to the annually increasing costs for herbicides. But this weed has the potential to create even more problems — 20 percent of western Canadian cropland now contains wild oat varieties that are resistant to one or more herbicides.

An article in the latest issue of the journal Weed Science offers another approach to managing wild oats. If grow-

ers adopted the practice of integrated weed management, the problem of herbicide resistance could be addressed with less dependence on herbicides.

A study was conducted for 4 years at 4 locations in western Canada to test the effects of an integrated approach to managing wild oats.

The study continued for an additional 4 years at two of these sites, to examine the long-term impact of these treatments on wild oat seed in the soil seed bank.

Strategies for inte-

grated weed management include practices that give the crop an advantage over the weeds, such as diverse crop rotations rather than continuously growing the same crop in the same field, an increase in crop seeding rates, and growing competitive varieties of a crop. Combining several strategies with herbicide applications provides the best weed management.

The current study compared fields continuously growing the primary crop, barley, with another treatment that

rotated barley with canola and field peas.

Normal seeding rates were compared with twice-normal seeding rates, and semidwarf cultivars of barley were mixed with tall varieties. Herbicides were applied at 25, 50, and 100 percent of the recommended rates.

While any one treatment increased barley yield, the study found that integrated strategies most effectively reduced weed seeds in the soil bank. A 40-fold reduction in wild oat seed was found when the optimal, as opposed

Soybean Marketing and Production College will help producers capitalize on agriculture trends

Page 30 - Section B • COUNTRY FOLKS West • June 10, 2013

The American Soybean Association (ASA) has created a new Soybean Marketing and Production College program to educate producers on how to capitalize on the growing trends and new technologies in agriculture to maximize on-farm profitability. The event takes place in Minneapolis, July 29-30.

Growers do not have to be ASA members to participate.

“Global sustainability requirements, meeting world soybean demand, weed management and herbicide resistance issues, new precision ag

technologies — these issues are all impacting the profitability of soybean growers,” said ASA President Danny Murphy, a soybean farmer from Canton, MS. “ASA’s Soybean Marketing and Production College will give growers hands-on training in these areas, with breakout sessions and presentations from industry experts, in addition to a session on succession planning.”

Ohio State University’s Dr. Matt Roberts, industry consultant on grain, petroleum, and biofuels markets and policy, headlines the

Opening General Session. Roberts will review the current supply and demand situation for grains and oilseeds globally, what that means for prices, and how growers can best take advantage of these trends in their own marketing decisions.

U.S. Farm Report host John Phipps will keynote the Closing General Session.

Phipps will share strategies to not just endure, but prosper from an unpredictable future in agriculture by understanding which risks are worth worrying about.

Registration for ASA’s Soybean Marketing and Production College is open now through July 9. Get more information and register online at www.SoyGrowers.com/ MarketingProductionCollege.

to suboptimal, cultural practices were combined with a 100 percent rate of herbicide.

Reducing the seed bank through these practices could be crucial to maintaining the effectiveness of herbicides as a weed management strategy for the future.

Evaluate early season corn stands Corn can face many different stresses capable of reducing stands, such as cold or wet soils, insect feeding and unfavorable weather conditions. In severe cases of stand reduction, growers will need to determine if replanting will be more profitable than keeping the current crop.

Growers should conduct a stand evaluation to determine how much the current corn stand has been reduced from the targeted stand. Reduced stands of healthy plants are easier to assess than stands of weak or injured plants. DuPont Pioneer agronomists recommend growers wait a few days to perform a stand assessment following an injury event such as frost or hail.

Once the plant stand has been determined, it is important to consider the health of the surviving plants. Plants that survive but are severely injured or defoliated will have reduced

photosynthetic capability and a lower yield potential. Stand uniformity is also an important consideration. An uneven stand will yield less than a relatively even stand with the same number of plants.

If weighing a replant decision, it is important to consider the probability of an autumn freeze prior to physiological maturity of replanted corn. Lateplanted corn also has increased susceptibility to summer drought, disease and insects. Even if replanting will increase yield, the yield increase must be sufficient to pay for all the costs associated with replant, such as extra herbicide or tillage costs, planting costs and increased grain drying costs.

To assist with replant decisions, utilize the replant calculator on the DuPont Pioneer mobile site. For more information, contact your Pioneer sales professional or visit pioneer.com.
