Tioga County crowns 50th Dairy Princess Submitted by Ruth Strong, Committee Chairman The 50th Tioga County Dairy Princess Coronation was held on June 1, at the Countryside Community Center in Owego, NY. One-hundred-ten dinner guests were present for the delicious dinner as the three candidates presented their milk promotion speeches with much confidence and poise.

Each of the three candidates met individually with the judges before presenting well-prepared and very interesting speeches. Following judging, Kristy Alexander, daughter of Arlene and Michael Alexander of Barton was crowned the 2013-2014 Tioga County Dairy Princess by Taylor Mead, 2012-2013 Tioga County Dairy Princess. Alex Aman and Alexis Zuck were selected as 2013-2014 Tioga County Dairy Princess Alternates.

Kristy Alexander is presently a junior at Tioga Central High School. She is employed on a 75-cow dairy farm in Owego. Kristy is a member of the 4-H Dairy Club, Cornell Junior Dairy Leaders, YES Leads, National Honor Society, SADD, and the Girls Varsity Club. Her plans are to go to college to study Dairy Business/Dairy Nutrition.

Alex Aman is the daughter of Aaron and Becky Aman of Candor and will serve as Alternate Dairy Princess for 2013-2014. Her family owns and operates a large dairy farm in Candor. Alex is presently a junior at Candor Central High School. She is a member of National Honor Society, Drama Club, and AMBC youth group and participates in volleyball and softball. Alex plans to study architecture in college.

Alexis Zuck is the daughter of Melissa Zuck of Richford and will serve as Alternate Dairy Princess for 2013-2014. She is presently a sophomore at Newark Valley High School where she is a member of the Varsity Field Hockey team. Alexis has been a dairy ambassador for two years. Her future plans are to go to college and study criminal justice.

The following young ladies will serve as Dairy Ambassadors for the upcoming year: Abigail and Katelyn Eaton, daughters of Paul and Heather Eaton of Owego; Leah Ludwig, daughter of Scott and Sharon Ludwig of Newark Valley; and Paige Steinhilber, daughter of Jenifer Steinhilber of Richford. These four young ladies will work with our Princess Court to promote the dairy industry throughout the year.

A highlight of this year’s coronation was our celebration of promoting the dairy industry in Tioga County for 50 years. All of the former dairy “Royalty” were invited to attend a “meet and greet” reception which took place before the coronation banquet. There were 19 former dairy princesses in attendance.

During the coronation, special recognition of the “Royalty” was given for their dedication and to help us celebrate what the program has become and remember those who helped us to where we are today.

The Carolyn B Donnelly Memorial Service Award was established in 2008 in recognition of the 45 years of service that Carolyn had given to the dairy princess program. Taylor Mead, 2012-2013 Tioga County Dairy Princess, was presented this award in recognition of her dedication and service to the promotion program this past year by Janet Schuster, daughter of Nathan Donnelly and the late Carolyn B Donnelly.

Madeline Kuhlman of Owego, 2011-2012 New York State Dairy Princess, represented the American Dairy Association and Dairy Council. Madeline presented a short update message on ADA/DC promotion programs and expressed her appreciation to be able to continue to represent the New York State Dairy industry.

Dave Wheelcok served as Master of Ceremony and he gave recognition to all former Dairy Princesses in attendance. Taylor Mead gave her farewell speech as the 2012-2013 county princess, remarking on the activities she had participated in during the year of her reign and that by serving as dairy princess she has had the opportunity to meet many people of all ages and to promote the importance of consuming

Tioga County Dairy Promotion begins its 50th year of representing the farming industry. The Dairy Princess Program plays a very important part in the promotion of the industry and helps develop the lives of our young ladies as they communicate the nutritional value and health benefits of dairy products to

consumers of all ages.

The promotion committee appreciates the commitment of young ladies, their parents and all the individuals and businesses for their support for 50 years to the program. We salute the dairy farming industry of Tioga County which continues to provide employment and economic growth in the county.

Live life like a goat...

Take time to pray.

Precision Agriculture

by Steve Wagner A cluster of people — the curious, the meticulous, those who were ‘just wondering’ and, of course, farmers — gathered on the edge of the field at Penn State’s Research Station in Landisville, Lancaster County PA. A PSU Extension Educator, agronomist Jeff Graybill, is preparing a test flight of a drone, one that is fashioned to look like a child’s model plane of advanced design. The mainstream news media is used to talking about much larger drone aircraft that are instrumental in political assassination or the tracking of specific persons or movements of people. But the function of this particular drone, purchased by Graybill with grant money, is to give farmers another tool with which to improve crop maintenance. From the air, photographs can zero in on specific tracts of land, even footage or inches if necessary. Graybill monitors on an iPad the images recorded by the drone, also known as a Quadricopter.

This little fellow can operate from a height of 400 feet. If it exceeds that height, the FAA can step in and begin to regulate its use. It also has a radial range of about 1000 feet. Very recently, a Lancaster County township passed a single sentence ordinance that a person may not fly even a hobby airplane or helicopter in their township over a neighbor’s property unless that neighbor grants permission. Flight itself has not been banned. There is a school of thought which maintains that the ordinance is clearly aimed at drones because model planes have been around forever. The drone demonstration, part of the Farming for Success 2013 seminar, was hosted by the Extension but it is not the only tool in the box.

“GPS can be very intimidating,” says Binkley & Hurst GPS Guidance Specialist David Shaw. “We do try to work with a lot of growers. This can become a very important management tool. It is nice to have the light bars, it is nice to have steering, and it is nice

to have clutches. The goal is to make you money. To make money you have to have information. To have information you need some way to collect it.

“Satellites beaming down information into your tractor cab,” Shaw explained, describing how you get GPS information. “There’s a constellation of satellites up in the stars,” known as the GPS Constellation. “There’s also a Russian constellation known as Glonass. We can use some of their satellites to fill in where GPS might drop off a little bit with coverage on the North American side of things.

Satellites are always moving, always going around the earth in their orbits.

In this area, we use what’s called the WASS 138, a satellite that sits over the equator and keeps track of what’s happening on the east coast. My goal is to have you guys have the GPS running and working for you and earning money for you as many months of the year as possible.

“A lot of people are running into regulations as far as run-off situations on their farms; they’re trying to manage nutrients, track nutrients, what they put where, and why. It can be really annoying to have some guy in a suit and a government car running around your farm, asking ‘what did you do here? And there? Do you have any records, any paperwork to back this up? Is there anything on a computer I can look at?’ Are you prepared? Do you have any system in place to give them answers that they need?”

“When we talk about GPS,” says Ken Diller, Sales & Finance Manager of Hoober Equipment, Intercourse PA, “we talk about latitude, longitude and altitude. But there also has to be a correction source. Basically, there are three correction sources you can look at. WASS is a source supplied to you by the federal government. It is free to you. GPS is good for certain things, but as you start moving up the scale and expecting it to do more and more, that is when you have to begin looking at different levels of corrections.

Agronomist Jeff Graybill preps drone.

The drone is maneuvered to fly over the trial garden exhibits.

“You are all centered in the Chesapeake Bay basin. One of the continuing issues we hear about the bay is nutrient management; how we control manure and how do we know how much we’re putting on at a certain spot? With the technology we have now, we can not only map where we’re putting down fertilizer but we can also say ‘I know how much I’ve put down on a given number of acres’.”

Real time fertilizer placement is a relatively new concept that has not yet been widely adopted. Taking corn as

an example, says Diller, most people are still side-dressing corn.

“When you stand back and look at that field with the naked eye,” says Diller, “you would have said there is absolutely no difference in that field; it is all exactly the same. But when you run a sensor over the top of it, now you can begin to see the differences in the crop throughout that field. Light reflected back to that meter gives it a gauge of three different things. It measures the chlorophyll level. It also measures crop mass.”

American Farm Bureau: Estate tax repeal act will ‘get the job done’ and other liquid assets, surviving family partners may be forced to sell land, buildings or equipment needed to keep their businesses running. This not only can cripple a farm or ranch operation, but also hurts the rural communities and businesses that agriculture supports.”

The value of family-owned farms and ranches usually is tied to illiquid assets such as land, buildings and equipment, and producers have few options when it comes to generating cash to pay the estate tax. Recent increases in cropland values — on average 15 percent from 2011 to 2012 — have expanded the number of farms and ranches that are not covered by the current estate tax exemption.

“Farm Bureau believes the estate tax should be eliminated permanently,” Stallman said. “We fully support the Death Tax Repeal Act of 2013 to get the job done.”

WASHINGTON, D.C. — The American Farm Bureau Federation recently voiced support for legislation introduced in both the House and Senate that would permanently repeal the federal estate tax: the Death Tax Repeal Act of 2013.

While significant tax relief was enacted last year to help farmers cope with estate taxes, AFBF believes a permanent repeal is still the best solution to protect U.S. farms and ranches. The new legislation would repeal the estate tax, maintain a stepped-up basis and make permanent a 35 percent maximum gift tax rate and $5 million lifetime gift tax exemption indexed for inflation.

“Individuals, family partnerships and family corporations own 98 percent of our nation’s 2 million farms and ranches,” said AFBF President Bob Stallman. “When estate taxes on an agricultural business exceed cash

Thoughts on the failure of the House Farm Bill: On Thursday, June 20th, the U.S. House of Representatives voted on the House version of the 2013 Farm Bill, HR-1947. It received a solid trouncing, going down in defeat, 195 to 234.

Obviously, the House leadership is challenged with a House majority that defies being led, compounded by an inherent inability to build consensus.

Perhaps a dose of cluelessness, too: both Speaker John Boehner, (ROH) and Ranking Member of the House Ag Committee, Collin Peterson, (D-MN) were convinced they had the necessary votes for passage of HR1947 until the vote was actually underway. Both were blindsided by botched vote estimates, then stunned and dismayed watching the best chance for a much anticipated 2013 Farm Bill go down the pipe!

Big question is now whether they will tweak HR-1947, try to rally support, (if that is even possible) and run it through again, or just re-up the currently extended 2008 Farm Bill when it expires on Sept. 30th. Currently, all concerned are licking wounds and

crafting poisonous rhetoric to hurl at each other. Sadly, in the U.S. House, this is now what passes as business as usual, after a major legislative failure.

Before the debate on HR-1947 began, Peterson prophesied the 2013 Farm Bill would likely be the last of its kind; given current realities, the 2008 Bill will probably be elevated to that dubious distinction. It appears the urban-rural, bi-partisan coalition that scratched each others’ backs to mutual benefit on food stamp and farm policy issues for several decades has come unravelled. That the case, for better or worse, consensus on comprehensive national farm legislation may now be out of reach in the U.S. House — simply a thing of the past...

Small family farm dairymen should lose little sleep over all this, since HR1947’s dairy provision, The Dairy Security Act, was flawed, weighted heavily in favor of large factory style dairy operations and inappropriate.

The nation’s dairymen need a stable, fairly calculated price for their milk, not a Federally subsidized dairy margin insurance boondoggle that, at best, will merely cover losses.

No matter what dairy margin insurance schemes are served-up by the National Milk Producers Federation, the lobby serving the executives of the nation’s large dairy co-operatives, and foisted off as solutions on Congress, none are of any real value for dairy farmers. The Dairy Security Act didn’t address and reform the underlying root of the problem; the flawed USDA Milk Price Formula. The current USDA Milk Price Formula relies on data collected on cheese transactions conducted on the floor of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange. There, less than 1 percent of U.S. milk production, prices the remaining +99 percent in a process that is routinely manipulated to advantage by major milk buyers.

While U.S. milk processors should have some say in what they pay for milk, they should not have total say.

Since the beginning days of the Reagan Administration, U.S. dairy farmers have been systematically short changed on the value of the milk their cows produce. Before Reagan, when a consumer spent a dollar on dairy products, $.53 of that dollar went to the farmer who supplied the milk; currently the farmer receives about $.25 of that same dairy food dollar, albeit proportionately, it does not cost any more to process or retail dairy products.

If U.S. dairy farmers had a fair, transparent Federal Milk Price Formula,

using information direct from the marketplace, indexed for current cost of production and reflecting prices paid by consumers, it would be better for all concerned. The proper role of the Federal Government could then be as a referee, strictly enforcing carefully crafted rules designed to maintain a level playing field for price discovery for both farmers and processors.

The nutritional value of dairy products to the diet of this nation’s poorest citizens is essential and inestimable. It is grossly unfair that U.S. dairy farm families are expected to labor at below minimum wage, for often no wage at all, just to keep dairy product prices low in U.S. supermarkets. Nor should taxpayer money have to subsidize the consumption of U.S. dairy products. American consumers pay enough for dairy products. The money is in the marketplace; it simply needs to be redistributed to fairly reflect the monumental contribution of U.S. dairy farmers to the nation’s nutritional well being.

Supplying economically priced dairy products to this nation’s poor should call for equal effort from all, not just be arbitrarily and unfairly placed on the backs of the nation’s dairy farmers, while dairy processors and grocery retailers hold hands and giggle all the way to the bank...

Nate Wilson, Sinclairville, NY

Dear Editor, Dairy farmers across the nation are once again left without effective farm bill legislation. Another year of hard work by dairy farm groups to develop and promote their policy ideas has been ignored by Congress.

There can be no excuse for the way Congress is treating our nation’s dairy farmers. I wonder how much longer dairy farmers will put their trust in Washington to address their pricing problems.

We seem to be caught between a rock and a hard place. We have a do-nothing Congress on one hand and giant

foreign-owned processors on the other.

The good news is that we don’t need to depend on either one as much as we have in the past. Dairy farmers acting together in the market can gain the prices they need to cover their costs and make a reasonable profit.

Dairy farmers own the milk first.

This is their biggest advantage in the marketplace. Now, more than ever, all dairy farmers must use their legal rights to work together and fairly price milk at the farm level.

Brad Rach, National Dairy Director, National Farmers Organization

Dear Editor, Who really needs who?

One may ask this question. If all the U.S. Senators and Congressmen were to take a one year vacation, what would the consequences be? Some may say that the country may be better off, less damage! Life would go on.

What would happen if every Farmer (dairy; grain; livestock; orchard, veg., etc.) in this country took a one year

vacation, there would be mass starvation in this country and throughout the world! For one thing you can bet on, the U.S. Senators and Congressmen, would not even be able to feed themselves. So we go back to the original question. Do the Farmers need the Politicians or do the Politicians need the Farmers?

Thank you, Rich Steixner, Westmoreland, NY

PA State budget for ag programs CAMP HILL, PA — Pennsylvania Farm Bureau says the new state budget approved by the General Assembly and signed by Governor Corbett maintains spending for vital agriculture programs and provides modest increases for other key programs.

“Overall, Pennsylvania farmers believe agriculture programs were treated fairly in the budget, increasing funding for several key programs, including agriculture research and Cooperative Extension administered by Penn State University,” said PFB President Carl T. Shaffer.

“The Animal Health Commission, agriculture excellence programs and county fairs will also be

funded at a higher level.”

The state budget restores funding to last year’s levels for other agriculture programs, such as agriculture research administered by the Department of Agriculture and agricultural promotion, education and exports, while maintaining funding to the Nutrient Management Fund.

“Agriculture programs are sound investments that help farmers implement conservation practices, increase efficiency and bring consumers face to face with those who grow our food at local venues all across the state. These investments help preserve agriculture as Pennsylvania’s leading industry,” concluded Shaffer.

New York Farm Bureau President’s statement on Senate passage of Immigration reform “Today’s (June 27) passage of comprehensive immigration reform is a major milestone for New York’s farmers. It addresses critical short and long term needs that will better provide a stable workforce on our farms. Those needs include allowing employees who are already skilled and working in this state to stay here and eventually obtain legal status. It’s gratifying to see the hard work New York Farm Bureau has demonstrated on behalf of our farm families result in real movement on this issue for the first time in years.

Currently, our farms face serious

challenges in hiring the amount of workers required to plant and harvest the crops and milk the cows. While they always look locally, farmers often turn to migrant workers who are willing to perform jobs that Americans choose not to take. Also, there is a fear that if workers have fraudulent documentation, the employees could be detained and deported at a moment’s notice. Losing that productivity can place the future of the family farm in jeopardy if the food is literally left to rot in the fields.That too puts our local food supply at risk.

Migrant labor is a critical component of

our farmers’ ability to supply consumers with the food they want at a reasonable price. New York Farm Bureau has already seen some members scale back production or move to less labor intensive crops because of concerns they have about a lack of labor. By limiting the growth of our family farms, we also limit the growth of our rural economies. Immigration reform will help spur agricultural economic development throughout the state.

We would especially like to congratulate Senator Charles Schumer for his successful fight on our farmers’ behalf.

The leadership and understanding he has demonstrated on this issue is to be commended. In addition, Senator Kirsten Gillibrand has remained a steadfast supporter of our farmers who have long advocated for immigration reform, and we thank her as well for the great vote she cast today. There is still a long fight ahead in the U.S. House, but we remain hopeful that the importance of this issue for New York’s farmers and farm workers will be the incentive lawmakers need to do what is right,” said Dean Norton, President of New York Farm Bureau.

Senate passes historic immigration reform bill containing dairy worker provisions Plan is better for farmers and workers, according to NMPF On June 27, the Senate approved a comprehensive immigration reform measure that will help dairy farmers with their current and future workforce needs, and provide the entire agriculture sector with much-needed economic certainty, according to the National Milk Producers Federation.

“We’ve known for years that the status quo employment situation in dairy farming is not sustainable. Today, the Senate moved decisively past that admission, and voted to change our labor and immigration laws for the

better,” said Jerry Kozak, President and Chief Executive Officer of NMPF. “Rather than tinker with what wasn’t working, this new immigration measure builds something new and much better.”

The immigration reform measure, approved by a vote of 68-32 strengthens the border security apparatus to discourage the flow of illegal immigrants to the U.S. From the standpoint of farm employers, it creates an entirely new visa category for their workers, both current employees, and prospec-

Statement from Agriculture Secretary Vilsack on Senate Immigration Bill passage On June 27, Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack made the following statement on the Senate passage of the Immigration Bill: “Today’s strong bipartisan vote in the U.S. Senate to fix America’s broken immigration system is good news for farmers and ranchers, good news for farm workers, and good news for rural America. The Senate plan would ensure the stable agricultural workforce that U.S. producers need in order to remain competitive with other nations and maintain our abundant, affordable food

supply. For millions of farm workers who today live in the shadows, it will provide an appropriate opportunity to earn legal status by contributing to America’s agricultural economy. In addition to being a strongly pro-agriculture bill, the Senate plan would grow the U.S. economy, strengthen the Social Security system and reduce our deficit. Following today’s strong bipartisan vote by the Senate, the House of Representatives must continue the momentum toward passage of comprehensive immigration reform as soon as possible.”

On June 27, by a 68 to 32 vote, the full U.S. Senate passed their comprehensive Immigration and Border Security bill, S. 744. National Cattlemen’s Beef Association (NCBA) President Scott George, a cattle and dairy producer from Cody, WY, issued the following statement: “Border security and immigration have been one of our top priorities as set by our members in 2013. I am pleased to see that the Senate has continued the conversation on this important issue that affects all Americans, but especially rural Americans and our members who live and ranch along our borders.

This action by the Senate is a step in the right direction and we look forward to engaging with members of the House in ensuring the priorities of cattlemen and women are met in final legislation.

“A strong year-round workforce is paramount to the success of the cattle industry. Cattlemen and depend on a legal and stable workforce year round.

We recognize that the first step in ensuring the success of our workforce is securing and maintaining our borders. The conversations taking place on the Hill right now are keeping these issues front and center and we truly appreciate those efforts.”

consumers continue to enjoy dairy products on their grocery store shelves,” he said.

Kozak stressed that even with the historic Senate vote, much more work on immigration reform has to be done this year on Capitol Hill. Negotiations are continuing in the House of Representatives, which is working on a separate bill, and where broad support for a comprehensive immigration reform measure is less certain.

“The key is to demonstrate to a majority of the House that action is needed. The bill the House will consider is going to be different than this Senate bill, but the critical thing is that a bill addressing the needs of agriculture must be passed by the House. Inaction is not an option,” Kozak said.

Throughout the immigration reform process, NMPF has worked with other farm worker and farm employer organizations in the Agriculture Workforce Coalition. To learn more about the AWC, visit www.agworkforcecoalition. com

tive new employers. This new visa system will be administered through the U.S. Department of Agriculture, making it easier for farmers and ranchers to access and use. It will also assure a future flow of new workers, so that as the economy evolves and jobs shift between sectors, farmers will have the means to recruit and hire new dairy workers.

“Dairy farmers have been concerned that their current workers might be overlooked by the reform efforts, but the Senate bill addresses that concern, by allowing currently employed, but undocumented, workers to maintain their jobs. This is a huge benefit, both to workers, and their employers,” Kozak said.

Kozak noted that regardless of the region of the country, many dairy farmers “face ongoing challenges finding a sufficient number of workers to care for and milk their cows. Securing a reliable and competent workforce for our nation’s farms and ranches is essential to ensuring that American

Dead zones and other river problems Eight or 10 years ago, on one of the TV channels… probably the History Channel… there was a program dealing with the Flood of 1927. This flood… centering on the Mississippi Basin… inflicted more water-borne damage on the U.S. than any natural disaster in the country’s history, up to that point, and ever since. This flood had nothing to do with hurricanes. According to this TV presentation, one of the man-made factors enabling Mother Nature to behave in an unusually obnoxious fashion was the stripclearing of forest land, combined with the human failure to replant to timber seedlings on these denuded former woodlands.

The local (and even national) news media has dubbed the Mohawk Valley’s very recent excessive rainfall, and accompanying flash-flooding, as the Flood of 2013. So I wanted to find something on-line dealing with the huge disaster of 86 years ago, that linked it to the woodlot mismanagement practices so prevalent during the early part of the last century. Try as I might… without major effort… I couldn’t find anything in cyber-space which supported my vivid recollection. So I ask you to take in faith my knowledge of how bad conservation intensified what went wrong in 1927 in the nation’s heartland.

One thing that sticks out in my mind in this recent Internet research is that no one mentioned the Flood of 1927 as being caused by global warming, and yet it’s the worst flood that the U.S. ever experienced. I believe that some of our cropland management practices these days render soils as unable to retain excess moisture as badly as the denuded hillsides over eight decades ago. It’s easy for me to point a finger halfway across the coun-

try to the Grain Belt areas, where summer annual row crop production is more intense than it has ever been. Corn and soybean are the crops. Less and less land is planted to small grains and perennials. By my own calculations, based on State of Iowa ag data, somewhere between five and six percent is the portion of that state’s farmland committed to hay and pasture production, i.e., soil-building practices.

Much less dramatic than the Flood of 1927, which came to rest in the Gulf of Mexico, is the growing dead zone in that body of salt water.

About three weeks ago, Dan Vergano, writing in USA TODAY, headlined: “Summer means sun, sand, and oxygen-deprived ‘dead zones’ afflicting the Gulf of Mexico and the Chesapeake Bay.” He stated that Federal environmental biologists foresee a recordsize “dead zone” for the Gulf of Mexico this summer, a New Jersey-sized patch of water deadly to marine life.

Just off the Texas and Louisiana coasts, the zone forms largely because of fertilizer runoff from the corn belt flowing down the Mississippi.

These uninvited nutrients spur the growth of algal blooms that remove oxygen from the water in the Gulf. The especially large size this year of the predicted zone, perhaps 8,500 square miles, appears to be tied to Midwestern floods that washed more nutrients into the river. “The estimate is this will be the largest zone ever, unless there is a storm that stirs up the water,” says researcher R. Eugene Turner of Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration scientists concur with Turner’s assessment of this ongoing dead zone issue. “Even if there is a storm it is going to be a very large zone,” Turner says.

Records have been

kept on the summer dead zone in the Gulf since 1985. Last year’s zone was one of the smallest on record, as a drought prevented runoff carrying as much fertilizer into the Mississippi River. The prediction is better for the Chesapeake Bay, where estimates are for a smaller -than-average dead zone there, similar to last year. Improved conditions in the Bay appear tied to improved water-treatment facilities in the region, suggests water-quality expert Michael Woodside of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), resulting in 30 percent fewer nutrients than average flowing into the estuary.

That means more crabs, oysters and fish there.

Turner was critical of inaction on reducing the amount of fertilizer running into the Gulf, some 168,000 tons of nutrients in May, nearly three times as much as last year. He notes that a federal, state and tribal agreement aims to cut the average size of the dead zone in half by 2015, “and I don’t see any sign of that happening,” he says. With corn prices high, it appears that farmers this year decided in favor of applying larger amounts of fertilizer, suggests Jerad Bales, USGS associate director for water. “A lot of the contribution to nutrient flow comes from groundwater, which can take years to reach the river,” Bales says. “That means even if we take steps to cut nutrients, this could still be a growing problem for years.”

One piece of good news is that dead zones typically recede some in the fall, as waves and winds re-oxygenate the affected patches of water, and run-off of soil nutrients lessens as the growing season draws to a close.

Another piece of good news is that if we stop sending surplus nutrients into our salt-waterbound waterways, these dead zones tend to erase themselves. That’s what happened in the Black Sea in Eastern Europe following the fall of Communism. In the absence of government-subsidized fertilizer purchases, farmers in the former Soviet Union couldn’t af-

Vermont Wagyu at Spring-Rock Farm Your opportunity begins Aug. 28 Spring-Rock Farm is owned by the Patinkin family, who have been in operation since 2006. The newly reconstructed barns and fields now accommodate their Vermont

Wagyu beef operation.

The Spring-Rock herd is born of some of the oldest and finest 100 percent full blood Wagyu originally imported to this country from Japan.

As the herd develops, the Patinkins are maximizing its potential by keep-

ing close track of herd statistics. “We only select animals with good fertility, strong mothering skills and fine temperament; We provide the best atmosphere, feeding and care any herd could receive,” says Sheila Patinkin.

Creating a strong and healthy genetic line is a challenge with a breed of cattle as small in number as the Wagyu. It is in every respect a science.

Dr. Sheila Patinkin meticulously studies the pedigrees used in their breeding program, seeking a preferred balance between the lines of Wagyu bred in America today. Some of the top marbling bulls are contained within the herds’ pedigrees. “As our own herd develops, we are seeking a genetic diversity through varying the strains of Wagyu in our breeding program.”

Urge President Obama to grant Governor Cuomo’s request for major disaster declaration following upstate floods NYS officials confident that complete damage assessments will far exceed the state’s per capita threshold of $26.7 million WASHINGTON, D.C. — A bipartisan group of U.S. House members on July 2 wrote President Obama in support of Governor Cuomo’s request for a major disas-

ter declaration following severe flooding in upstate New York. The flooding, which occurred on June 27 and 28, badly damaged homes and businesses.

In many areas there has been significant infrastructure damage and debris removal costs have been identified, providing additional burdens to cash-

strapped local and state governments. The letter was authored and signed by Representatives Richard Hanna (NY-22), Chris Gibson (NY-19), Bill Owens (NY-21), Paul Tonko (NY-20), and Tom Reed (NY-23).

“We can attest to the extensive damage impacting homes, businesses, and local infra-

structure in the flooded areas and the serious personal losses experienced by local residents,” the Members wrote. “Many families have been displaced from their homes, and local businesses have been devastated. Meanwhile, local governments are struggling to find funding to repair roads, culverts, bridges

and other infrastructure damaged or destroyed. Without assistance from the federal government, many local leaders question how they will be able to make necessary repairs, the cost of which far exceeds local resources.”

The requested declaration would provide vital federal assistance in

helping local governments, businesses and individuals rebuild from the storms. The affected counties include: Broome, Chenango, Clinton, Delaware, Essex, Franklin, Herkimer, Madison, Montgomery, Oneida, Otsego, Schoharie, St. Lawrence, Tioga and Warren.

U.S. corn acreage up for fifth straight year U.S. farmers successfully overcame a cold and wet early spring this year, planting 97.4 million acres of corn, up slightly from 2012, according to the Acreage report released June 28 by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS). This is the highest acreage planted to corn since 1936 and marks a fifth year in a row of corn acreage increases in the United States.

This growing season did not get off to a good start. Hampered by cold and wet weather in early spring in much of the major corn-producing region, U.S. growers had only 5 percent of the crop planted by April 28, making it the slowest planting pace since 1984. In May, however, the weather conditions improved significantly, helping U.S. corn growers to make great strides in planting. The week of May 19, farmers tied the fastest corn planting pace on record, planting 43 percent of the total crop during that one week. Overall, 63 percent of the corn crop was reported in good or excellent condition as of June 2, compared with 72 percent at the same time last year.

Despite being hampered by the same weather problems in the early spring, for U.S. soybean growers, 2013 is estimated to be a record-setting year.

According to the report, farmers planted a record-high 77.7 million acres of soybeans this season, up 1 percent from last year. By June 16, soybean emergence remained behind the 5-year average in most of the soybeangrowing states.

U.S. farmers also increased all wheat acreage this year. All wheat planted area for 2013 is estimated at 56.5 million acres, up 1 percent from last year.

The wheat acreage increased in part due to an early row crop harvest, which allowed farmers to seed more acres.

In contrast with the increase in acreage for the first three principal crops, U.S. all cotton planted area is significantly lower in 2013, compared with last year.

All cotton acreage is estimated at 10.3 million, 17 percent below 2012 acres. As of June 23, an estimated 43 percent of all cotton crop was in good or excellent condition, compared with 50 percent rated in these

two categories at the same time last year.

NASS also released the quarterly Grain Stocks report, showing U.S. corn stocks down 12 percent from June 2012, soybean stocks down 35 percent and all wheat stocks down 3 percent.

Acreage, Grain Stocks and all other NASS reports are available online at www.nass.usda.gov

No brainer?

by Steve Suther You’ve heard it many times, maybe even said it: “Oh yeah, that’s a nobrainer.” But how can that be when that assessment and comment took conscious thought?

I submit there are very few legitimate no-brainers except autonomous functions like breathing.

Illegitimate ones, sure, as in “pulling a no-brainer.” Those are actions we look back on and realize in retrospect should have been given more thought. If we’re lucky, we learn without serious

injury to health or pocketbook.

Technology is a good thing, but you have to understand it with brain fully engaged. I have learned much about global positioning system (GPS) units since the days when mine kept telling me to “make a legal U-turn!” But it’s not automatic yet, and I keep re-learning to maintain human control.

This month I let that slip with a no-brainer while trying to find a hotel in a big city, having turned that task over to GPS with a few clicks.

Frowning once or twice at the instructions to turn there and then in that direction, I still trusted it to get to “my destination,” where I was soon said to have arrived. Only then did I realize there was more than one location for that hotel chain in the city, and this was the wrong one.

Entering the right address and once again relying on the GPS, I got to the hotel just a little later, and no harm done.

Earlier this spring while assisting in artificial insemination (AI) on a set of heat-synchronized heifers, I discovered a potentially fatal error in my chuteside routine.

There are several models of squeeze chutes,

and this one is not mine but it relies on an angled tab sliding down a rod to keep the squeeze on until released by changing the angle with a release handle. Or, if a critical juncture is affected by moisture, it turned out.

A soft rain was falling that morning, and I noticed what that could mean on the second heifer. It wasn’t the first, because on that one I had held a tail out of the way and perched in what seemed like a logical spot. It was almost a no brainer.

After setting the squeeze for the next one but before I could step up where I had been, the wet rod slipped and the squeeze released in a bang microsecond.

Thankful it did not hold

for a minute longer, I saw then that the chute action would have dealt a serious head injury had I been standing where I had been oblivious of risk.

I felt lucky and stupid all at once, and of course found another way to help secure tails after catching the heifers. Let that be a warning to carefully study the workings of every squeeze chute or other equipment before getting down to work.

It’s risky to do or casually “decide” anything as a no-brainer, even when they seem obvious. Danger or opportunity could be just around the corner, only to be avoided or engaged by thinking.

Is your business on course? Have you even

set a destination, or are you just following a path of least resistance at the least possible cost and hoping for the best day to day?

Are you missing some real and present danger by assuming your first idea — or somebody else’s idea that you took on as a no-brainer — was the right idea?

The power of an engaged mind can use technology or sometimes just simple logic to produce cattle that are worth hundreds of dollars more per head than those from a herd on autopilot. Whether drought and debt are knocking at the door or prosperity reigns over your pastures, every decision will brighten or dim your prospects. Stay focused.

NCBA educates Capitol Hill on antibiotic use in livestock

Page 14 - Section A • COUNTRY FOLKS West • July 8, 2013

“Beef 101” presentation illustrated the importance of having a safe and wholesome food supply that starts with healthy animals The National Cattlemen’s Beef Association (NCBA) recently gave an overview to more than 70 congressional staff members on antibiotics used in food producing animals as part of NCBA’s “Beef 101” educational series.

“Beef 101” is an educational program for members of Congress and their staff, developed to continually educate those on Capitol Hill on issues important to the beef industry. The session featured a presentation by Dr. Mike Apley, DVM, PhD, a clinical pharmacologist with Kansas State University, who discussed with attendees the judicious use of antibiotics in the beef industry as one of the critical tools to prevent the spread of disease and maintain a healthy herd.

“The goal of producers is to manage cattle to avoid infectious diseases. Antibiotics are a valuable resource for treating both human and animal diseases,” Apley said. “Farmers and ranchers work with veterinarians to implement comprehensive herd-health management plans, and it’s important for veterinarians and producers to have the ability to best

manage herd health and raise healthy cattle, which ultimately means a safe food supply.”

During the presentation, Apley covered common myths about antibiotic use, such as the misconception that 70 percent of antibiotics used in the United States for human and animal uses are used for nontherapeutic use in food animals. In fact, Apley stated, some antibiotics calculated into that total have never been marketed in the United States.

He added that a large percentage of the antibiotics used to treat and prevent illness in animals are ionophores, compounds not used in human medicine.

Another myth dispelled during the session is that animal antibiotic use is not subject to significant government regulation.

Contrary to that myth, all antibiotics labeled for use in livestock production have passed a stringent Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval process and have been shown to be safe and effective.

FDA approves antibiotics to treat specific diseases or conditions at specific dosage rates for a specific time peri-

od, and this sciencedriven process helps protect human health while giving veterinarians and cattlemen the tools they need to keep cattle healthy.

“Producers use antibiotics under the

guidance of a veterinarian, and extensive regulations govern the use of animal health drugs.

Many factors go into ensuring that veterinarians, farmers and ranchers have access to effective antibiotics to

maintain animal health,” said Apley.

“Unfortunately, there are a lot of misconceptions and outright misrepresentations about why and how antibiotics are used in the cattle industry. The

truth is, cattle producers and veterinarians utilize many tools including vaccines, herd health management, genetics and animal nutrition to continue producing the world’s safest beef.”

NYCAMH provides agricultural hazard awareness training for firefighters in New Hampshire

by James Carrabba, The New York Center for Agricultural Medicine & Health — NYCAMH In May, educators from the New York Cen-

ter for Agricultural Medicine and Health (NYCAMH) delivered an agricultural hazard awareness training workshop to 11 firefighters and EMS personnel. The workshop was held at the Newport fire station and at Beaver Pond Farm in Newport, NH.

workshop was This sponsored by Sullivan County Farm Bureau.

Firefighters and EMS personnel from Newport, Unity, Meriden, Webster, and Lempster fire departments were in attendance. The NYCAMH instructors were James Carrabba, Agricultural Safety Specialist and Erin Madden, NYCAMH Program Assistant. This was the third year that this workshop has been held in Sullivan County.

The first portion of the workshop was conducted at the Newport fire station. This part of the

training was a classroom session where the participants received a broad overview of the most common agricultural hazards they might encounter if they had to respond to an emergency at a farm. The hazards reviewed included tractor overturns, tractor runovers, PTO entanglements, mechanical hazards, chemicals, engulfments, confined space dangers, and animal hazards.

The second half of the day was spent at Beaver Pond Farm, a vegetable and small fruit farm in

Farm Safety & Accessibility Newport. At this location, the participants could walk around the farm to take a first hand look at tractors, machinery, and structures that are common on Sullivan County farms. The farm owner, Ben Nelson, explained to the group how his farm functions and pointed out things that a rescuer would need to be thinking about if they ever responded to an agricultural emergency.

A variety of tractors and equipment were on display for the participants to examine.

Highlights of the afternoon session included several hands-on rescue scenarios involving various pieces of farm equipment and a trauma manikin. The participants were challenged to brainstorm proper rescue techniques to help someone who was wrapped around a PTO shaft or caught under a piece of equipment, and demonstrate how they

would respond to a medical emergency in the field, and ways to perform a confined space rescue.

There are several people we would like to thank for making this workshop possible.

Cassy Sullivan of Sullivan County Farm Bureau was the coordinator of this event and she made this workshop possible. Also, a special thank you also goes out to Ben Nelson who graciously made his farm and equipment available for this workshop. At NYCAMH, we are dedicated to making farms as safe as possible.

A program of Bassett Healthcare Network, NYCAMH is enhancing agricultural and rural health by preventing and treating occupational injury and illness.

Mechanical hazards: stored energy Springs are used as shock absorbers and as a means of keeping belts tight. Winches and hydraulic systems are used to lift or change the position of implements.

Potential injuries Injuries that can result from the unintentional release of stored energy include burns, contusions, abrasions, lacerations, injection injuries (as from hydraulic fluid), and crushing injuries.

Amputation of a limb may be required if an injection injury is not immediately treated at a hospital.

Safety precautions The list below outlines ways of reducing the risk of a stored-energy incident.

• Identify machines that may have stored energy.

• Before operating a machine that uses hydraulic or water pressure, examine the hoses and fittings for wear.

• Pass a piece of cardboard or flat board along the hydraulic hoses to

Stored A20

July 8, 2013 • COUNTRY FOLKS West • Section A - Page 17

Summarized by Linda M. Fetzer, Pennsylvania State University Stored-energy hazards occur when confined energy is unintentionally released. A spring is a classic example of the release of stored energy: A compressed spring expands with great force when released, and a stretched spring quickly contracts. Springs, hydraulics, and pneumatics move and control machines and implements that are part of agricultural equipment. The sudden pressurization or depressurization of such stored-energy systems can result in incidents that cause serious injury or death.

There are many examples of stored energy in agricultural equipment: • Compressed air • Pressure washers • Springs • Winches • Hydraulic, pneumatic, and electrical systems Compressed air and fluids are used for tire inflation and power washing and in hydraulic cylinders.

Page 18 - Section A • COUNTRY FOLKS West • July 8, 2013

Power take-off safety Summarized by Linda M. Fetzer, Pennsylvania State University A power take-off (PTO) shaft transfers mechanical power from a tractor to an implement. Some PTO-driven equipment is operated from the tractor seat, but many types of farm equipment, such as elevators, grain augers, silage blowers, and so on, are operated in a stationary position, enabling an operator to leave the tractor and move in the vicinity of the implement.

A PTO shaft rotates at a speed of either 540 rpm (9 rotations per second) or 1,000 rpm (16.6 rotations per second). At these speeds, a person’s limb can be pulled into and wrapped around a PTO stub or driveline shaft several times before the person, even a person with extremely fast reflexes, can react. The fast rotation speed, operator error, and lack of proper guarding make PTOs a persistent hazard on farms and ranches.

Injuries that can be sustained from PTO incidents include severe contusion, cuts, spinal and neck injuries, dislocations, broken bones, and scalping. Some incidents can result in fatalities.

PTO Hazards The main PTO hazards involve the PTO stub and driveline.

PTO stub The tractor’s stub output shaft, referred to as a PTO stub, transfers power from the tractor through a drive shaft to the implement or PTOdriven machine. The PTO stub rotates at rate of 540 or 1,000 rpm, and most incidents involving the PTO stub are entanglement incidents.

Entanglement incidents can occur when the operator is unaware that the PTO clutch is engaged, when the operator does not understand the dangers of the spinning PTO stub, or when the operator deliberately works close to an unguarded stub shaft that is in motion. Clothing, such as a pant leg, shoelace, thread from a jacket, and so on, is easily caught by the spinning shaft. Once caught, both the clothing and the

wearer can quickly wrap around the stub shaft.

PTO driveline A PTO driveline or implement input driveline (IID) is the part of the implement drive shaft that connects to the tractor. When unguarded, the entire shaft of the driveline is considered a wrap-point hazard. Some drivelines have guards covering the straight part of the shaft, leaving the universal joints, PTO coupling, and the rear connector, or implement input connection (IIC), as wrap-point hazards.

Clothing can catch on and wrap around the driveline. When clothing is caught on the driveline, the tension on the clothing from the driveline pulls the person toward and around the shaft. When a person caught in the driveline instinctively tries to pull away from wrap hazard, he or she actually creates a tighter wrap.

Driveline separation In addition to injuries caused by entanglement incidents with the PTO stub and driveline, injuries can occur when shafts separate while the tractor’s PTO is engaged. The IID shaft telescopes, meaning that one part of the shaft slides into another. The sliding sleeve on the shaft allows for easy hitching of PTO-powered machines to tractors and allows telescopic movement when the machine turns or is operated on uneven ground. If the IID is attached to a tractor by only the PTO stub, the tractor can pull apart the IID shaft. If this occurs and the PTO is engaged, the tractor shaft can swing wildly, striking anyone in range and possibly breaking a locking pin, allowing the shaft to become a projectile. This type of incident is not common, but it is more likely to occur with three-point hitched equipment that is not properly mounted or aligned.

Safety recommendations The first line of defense to prevent a PTO entanglement incident is to make sure that your tractor and machinery have the proper shields.

PTO master shield The above photo shows a master shield that covers and extends over the tractor PTO stub on three sides. The master shield provides protection from the PTO stub and front joint of the drive shaft when the PTO stub is connected to the tractor.

Before operating PTOpowered machinery, always make sure that the master shield for the tractor PTO stub and front joint is secured properly. Replace a damaged master shield immediately.

Driveline shield A PTO driveline shield is constructed of plastic or metal and completely encloses the shaft. The bell-shaped ends cover the universal joints on the shaft. The shield is

Safety from A18 mounted on bearings so that it rotates with the shaft but stops spinning when a person touches it.

Check the driveline shield by spinning it to make sure that it rotates freely. If the shield is damaged or does not rotate independently, it does not provide protection and must be replaced.

Additional safety precautions In addition to having the proper shields in place, taking the following precautions can reduce your risk of a PTO incident: • Never step over a rotating shaft.

• Do not wear loose fitting clothing around PTO-driven equipment.

• Tie back long hair or secure it under a hat before operating equipment.

• Ensure that safety decals, such as “Rotating Driveline: Contact can cause death,” are readily visible. Replace decals that are obscured or incomplete.

• Always disengage the PTO and shut off the tractor before dismounting the tractor.

• Never work on machinery or equipment while the engine is running or is energized.

• Do not switch drivelines between machines.

• To reduce driveline stress and separation, position the tractor’s drawbar appropriately for each piece of machinery.

• Reduce PTO shaft abuse by avoiding tight turns, reducing excessive telescoping, engaging power to the shaft gradually, and avoiding over -tightening the slip clutch on PTO-driven machines.

• Examine the driveline for protruding pins or bolts and debris such as mud that has dried onto the driveline shield. Clothing snags easily on such protrusions, resulting in entanglement incidents.

• As part of the preoperation inspection, if the driveline shield is equipped with a tether, ensure that the tether is attached and in good condition and that the driveline shield rotates freely on its bearings.

Animal handling tips

by Dennis J. Murphy, Professor and William C. Harshman, Instructor, Penn State Many farm people have never stopped and actually analyzed why animals behave as they do and, more importantly, what this behavior may mean to their own personal safety.

Animal handling tips Often animal handling practices developed from watching others as we grow up on

the farm. All too often this results in the perpetuation of poor practices.

Some readers will have heard of a dairy bull or a horse kicking incident where someone lost their life. While most animal injuries are not fatal, many men, women, and children involved in agricultural activities will be needlessly injured each year because of a lack of safety awareness

of how animals behave.

Broken bones, crushed and mashed limbs, missed days of work and unnecessary medical expenses will be the result of injury incidents with animals.

An individual may work carefully around animals a majority of the time, but then involve themselves in an animal incident because of haste, impatience, anger at another person or object or the

Stored from A17 check for leaks. Do not use a hand to check for leaks. Gloves do not provide protection from hydraulic leaks under pressure.

• Turn off the engine and relieve hydraulic pressure before disconnecting hydraulic hoses or completing repairs.

• Lower hydraulic components to the ground before shutting off the engine and dismounting the equipment.

• Never walk under an implement or component supported by hydraulics or winches.

• Regularly check winch cables for wear.

• Before executing maintenance on hydraulic implements, put in place supports, jacks, stands, or blocks to prevent unintentional movement of the implements.

• Know what direction a spring will move when released and how it might affect other machine parts, and stay out of the spring’s path.

• Wait for free-wheeling parts such as flywheels, cutter heads, hammer mills, rotary mower blades, and fans to come to a complete stop before touching them.

• This may take up to two and a half minutes.

• Never try to stop a free-wheeling winch handle by catching it.

• Never point a compressed-air nozzle or pressure-washer nozzle toward a person, including yourself.

• Make sure others are well out of range of flying debris when using such equipment.

animal, or because of a preoccupied mind. It is during these moments that a farmer really needs to understand animal behavior.

Animal behavior Animal behavior can be instinctive or learned. Livestock also learn particular habits and become creatures of those habits. For example the sound of milking and feeding equipment being started has been observed to cause animals to move toward the milking or feeding area.

Beef, swine, and dairy cattle are generally color blind and have poor depth perception which results in an extreme sensitivity to contrasts.

This sensitivity may make an animal balk if a shadow is cast across its path. Due to little depth perception cattle and swine cannot distinguish blind turns in buildings or alleyways and will move tentatively or not at all, thus frustrating the animal handler. Sheep, too, are considered to be color blind but have no depth perception problems.

Farm Safety & Accessibility Instead, they have problems picking out small details, such as the open space created by a partially opened gate.

Animals can not see behind themselves, so will turn to keep the handler or perceived danger in their sight.

Flight zone All livestock have a “flight zone.” That flight zone space varies with how tame or wild the animal is. An excited animal has a larger flight zone. When you enter the flight zone the animal turns to move away. If you move outside the flight zone the animal will turn to look at you. Entering the blind spot of the flight zone unannounced can cause the animal to kick at you.

Most animals have a strong territorial instinct and will develop a sense of “homeland” in their pens, corrals and pastures. They become acclimated to the

sights, smells and sounds of that home area and develop a very distinctive and comfortable zone in this area.

One example of this homeland trait would be the well worn paths animals create in most pastures and between pastures and buildings, and water troughs and feed bunks. Animals may even challenge an intruder that comes into that space. Forcible removal from this homeland tends to disturb the animal. Also consider that animals tend to follow a leader when being moved. If no animal makes a move, the group tends not to move from the familiar home area.

Considering these points, it is easy to see why animals often hesitate when going through unfamiliar gates, barn doors, squeeze chutes, etc. Additional shadows cast

Tips from A20 by lights and yelling by the handler may further compound the problem.

Similar problems are created when moving animals away from feed, separating them from the herd or from their young, moving them to unfamiliar areas, or when an unfamiliar human approaches.

Animals are frightened or spooked easily by noise and will always try to move away from the direction or source of the noise. Their eyesight problems may cause them to crash against or through any objects (including humans!) that may be in their path of escape. Animals which are blind or deaf on one side will favor that side and may suddenly swing around to investigate disturbances on their blind or

deaf side. If standing too close, you could easily be knocked down and trampled. Move animals with the minimum of noise and confusion.

Moving animals can be made less risky by recognizing the animal’s point of balance. The animal’s shoulder is its point of balance. To move the animal forward, stand behind the point of balance, but out of the blind spot. To stop or slow the animal step to the front of the point of balance. The need to shout, scream, or using prodding devices to move animals will be reduced or eliminated.

The young of most farm animals have the capacity to form relationships simultaneously with their own species and with hu-

man handlers. For instance, newborns raised by a bottle or bucket may develop a very strong affection for the person feeding them. Animals do respond to the way they are treated and draw upon past learning experience when reacting to a situation. Thus, animals that are chased, slapped, frightened, etc., in their early life will naturally have a sense of fear when a human is near. Since farm animals do not rate high on lists to receive tender loving care, they are often handled with force unnecessarily.

Animals are often characterized as being “stubborn” because they have balked or refused to enter an area.

Once this has happened the animal is likely to

refuse the next several times as well and get a little more excited and dangerous with each refusal. It is very important to take time and think out the process of moving the animals before the first attempt.

Plan the movement route, observe what areas may have shadows or obstructions, and inform all helpers of what you want to accomplish in moving the animals.

Many farmers are tempted to “try it” before thinking and end up in a real battle with the animal which may lead to an injury.

Injury and fatality considerations Injuries and fatalities involving animals can generally be grouped into one or more of three categories which reflect the cause of the

hand • attempting a task without enough help • not wearing personal protective equipment, such as steel-toed, nonskid safety shoes and gloves.

Children and animals Children are often assigned to work with livestock at an early age. For example showing cattle at the county fair is seen as an exercise in building the youth’s level of responsibility. For farm children and other youth, the North American Guidelines for Children’s Agricultural Tasks (NAGCAT) can serve as one means for parents to monitor their child’s readiness to accept such responsibilities. Check the NAGCAT website at www.nagcat.org to view the guidelines which cover many topics. For youth employed on farms, the US Department of Labor’s Hazardous Occupations Order in Agriculture (AgHO) regulations apply as well. Youth under age 16 are prohibited from being employed to work in a yard, pen, or stall with a cow and newborn calf, bulls, boars, stallions kept for breeding purposes, or with sows with nursing pigs. Do not assign children to these areas.

Conclusion What can you do to increase your level of safety when handling animals? First study animal behavior by observing animals in terms described in this fact sheet. Secondly, inspect the facilities used to house, control and move animals to be sure that these structures do not cause animals to balk when moved. Finally, recognize that our own actions may be the reason for difficulty in moving or working with animals. By understanding the animal, providing safe facilities, using proper personal protective equipment, and working with the animal’s natural instincts, a reduction in injury and fatality incidents involving livestock can be realized.

incident: animal caused, facility caused and people caused.

Animals experience hunger, thirst, fear, illness, and injury. Females of the species have very strong maternal instincts. Males of the species can be aggressive. Animals develop individual behavior patterns; i.e., kickers, biters, etc., but all animals are unpredictable in behavior. The handler should be aware of these points and take the necessary precautions to work safely with the animal.

The facilities play a major role in preventing injury and fatality to handlers as well. Keeping walk and work surfaces as clear as possible and properly lighted reduces risk. Pens, chutes, gates, fences, and loading ramps should be sturdy, be free of sharp projections, and operate properly.

Pass through openings should be provided to allow handlers to get away from animals in an emergency.

Good facilities provide a means of controlling animals while allowing easy access for feeding and cleaning, all in a safe environment.

The majority of injury and fatalities due to animals are the result of “people problems.” Lack of judgment or understanding due to inexperience is a major cause of incidents involving animals. Plan ahead to allow plenty of time to move animals so there is no need to hurry. Do not try to manhandle animals when angry.

Some handlers may exhibit a feeling of superiority over animals; a foolish act when you consider the size of some farm animals. If the animal becomes nervous and agitated, wait 30 minutes before attempting to work with the animal again.

Other common “people problems” • prodding an animal with no place for the animal to go • improper lifting of young animals • horseplay • looping lead straps around the handler’s

A View from Hickory Heights

by Ann Swanson Kitchen — heart of the country home My kitchen was revamped after my husband died. A Vermont Casting wood stove had graced the old kitchen.

When I was on my own I decided that I no longer could burn wood. My children would have to cut wood for me and they were all very busy.

It was not just the cutting either, the chimney would need to be cleaned.

I struggled with a new plan for my kitchen.

There was also a hearth that had to be removed before I could add more cupboards in that area.

If I left things the way they were configured I would have to use upper cupboards and get a custom countertop. I would not really gain much as far as cupboard or counter space.

I decided to do away with the chimney. I did not have to remove it, I just encased it and

closed the opening.

Once that was done I was ready to reconfigure the kitchen. My carpenter installed recessed lighting — something that was sorely needed for years. He also installed cupboards to create an ell in the kitchen. My stove found a new location.

Now, years later I am very pleased with my renovation. It is convenient and more spacious than the old layout. I have twice as many cupboards and double the counter space. My small kitchen is still a far cry from the monstrosities that I see created on television. I have a small, but very functional kitchen that is just right for me. It is more than adequate for all of the cooking and baking I do.

Part of that kitchen is devoted to my kitchen table. It is an antique table with five leaves.

Actually, if I put in all five leaves it would be

too large for the kitchen. The table was a gift from my grandfather. It came from his homestead. That table was part of their household as long as I remember and obviously much longer than that.

Grandpa told stories of his mother and father along with a brother and sister sitting around that table. Each of them had a special place to sit. Mostly the table had only one drop-leaf open so it was flat on one side. I remember the table at my great-grandfather’s house. It was painted with light green enamel paint.

I loved that old kitchen. There was a large wood burning/gas stove with a warming oven. There was also a large farm style sink with its own backsplash. Near the sink was an endless towel that was sewn together for efficiency.

You pulled out the rod and inserted a new one when it needed to be washed.

The table was a prize to me. Grandpa told me that his parents had purchased it secondhand.

would have been over a hundred by now so it is certainly old. When some cousins were visiting we found a date deep inside the table when we expanded it to accommodate the whole family. It was made in the 1800s.

Grandpa refinished it for us and added a polyurethane coat to make it water resistant.

He was so happy that I wanted his family table.

It had been left behind after all of the children had chosen what they wanted from greatgrandpa’s house. It has been in my kitchen for the past 40 years. It has seen many family gatherings at Hickory Heights including two wedding celebration picnics. It has also served as a table for the grandchildren and me to play games.

When my husband was farming the table was very handy for those after haying meals. I just pulled up the drop-leaves and it seated eight to 10 comfortably. We always fed our haying crew before we sent them home.

Frequently our meals were late. The hay field

had to be cleaned off before we could eat.

My husband was full of fun. He loved the old table because it was on casters. I appreciated the casters because they allowed me to pull the table out easily whenever I needed it.

He liked it because he could spin the table around moving everyone’s dinner. One of our employees did not like rice pudding so when I made that I always made something else for him. Dick thought it was great fun to spin the table so that he had a plate with rice pudding in front of him.

I miss those days.

Everyone ate well and did not complain. It was good for our children to have the experience of older children in the hay field and at the table. The conversation was lively even though they had all worked hard that day.

Sometimes the twins down the road brought their musical instruments up to play after supper. They had guitars and a banjo. We listened to them play before the men took off to do the barn chores.

The table has also seen countless dozens of cookies. That is where we frosted and decorated our holiday cookies. It was convenient for the children because it was lower than the countertops. The grandchildren have many pictures taken around that table in their scrapbooks. Some of the pictures are of holiday celebrations while others are just days at grandma’s house.

Even though the children no longer need a babysitter, they enjoy a day with grandma. If they are all here we usually play games.

There is a basketball hoop out back so we shoot baskets and play a game of pig. If they are here one at a time we do different things.

The older two are interested in cooking so I have done some cooking and baking with them.

It is fun for me to have someone to share cooking chores with as I pass on some of my recipes.

A Fun and Easy Way To Read Country Folks...

National Grange supports ag funding, SNAP; says splitting Farm Bill may be ‘last resort’ On June 27, the National Grange said reports that House Majority Leader Eric Cantor is looking to separate the agriculture and conservation provisions from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program funding in the current Farm Bill could be a positive move in a divisive

political climate.

National Grange Legislative Director Grace Boatright said in a statement: “As an agriculture-oriented organization, we strongly believe in the need for continued support for America’s farmers through a Farm Bill.

We, too, believe in help-

ing those in need of food support through community-level programs and assistance through federal funds such as SNAP. If separating the two components of this massive bill allows the divided Congress to move past partisanship and toward passage of both the Farm Bill and a responsible spending plan for SNAP, the Grange stands behind such a move. This should be done as a last resort to get critical funds approved before it’s too late.”

Boatright went on to say: “America’s hardworking farmers and ranchers provide food, fiber and fuel for us each and every day and cannot wait until a more united Congress is able to enact legislation. The security of our food — from the perspective of growers and those who seek assistance as consumers — should not be held hostage.”

Oswego County youth perform at the State 4-H Public Presentation Event A few weeks ago, 42 teens representing 21 4-H county programs participated in the New York State 4-H Public Presentation Event held at Cornell University. They performed in the following categories of demonstration, illustrated talk, speech, recitation and dramatic interpretation.

Six Oswego County 4-H’ers earned the honor to represent the North Central 4-H District at this event as senior presenters: Rachael Thormann, Caleb Lacson, Jena DuPont, Kim Logee, Christina Owens and Brianna Logee. The North Central 4-H District is comprised of 4-H programs from the following counties: Oswego, Onondaga, Madison, Oneida, and Herkimer.

Each of the Oswego County 4-H’ers received an exceptional score with three of them earning top awards in their division. The key to the 4-H’ers successes was practice. These 4-H’ers lived the 4-H motto, “To Make the Best Better” by working to improve their presentation. They reviewed the previous judge’s sheets, and made alterations to their presentation. Caleb Lacson added the history of chocolate

chips to make his cookie demonstration longer. While, Kim and Brianna Logee brought the books they used as resources to the event instead of just reciting where they researched their topics from.

At the event’s conclusion, Jena DuPont and Rachael Thormann earned a gold seal for their team presentation on butterflies. Caleb Lacson was awarded a silver seal for his demonstration on making chocolate chip cookies. Brianna Logee prepared a motivational speech on gun control which earned her the second highest score in the Speech Category. Her sister Kim Logee recited excerpts from Anne of Green Gables that earned Kim a perfect score and 1st place in the Dramatic Interpretation Division. And lastly, Christina Owens earned 1st place in the Recitation Category for her performance of To Kill a Mocking Bird.

Public Presentations is a signature program of 4-H Youth Development. As the youth prepare their presentation, they are researching their topic and organizing their thoughts. When the youth give their presentations, they

Flag Day citizenship celebration Wayne County 4-H held a celebration in honor of Flag Day on June 13. Youth ages 6 to 13 learned about the American flag, made fun projects, played active games, and completed a service project.

Michelle Day from the American Legion Auxiliary gave a

presentation on flag history and etiquette. Youth particularly enjoyed hands-on activities of learning how to hang and fold the flag. They were also excited to receive flag stickers.

After the presentation kids divided into groups for their classes. CCE Educators held a class

on healthy snacks and the kids made red, white, and blue yogurt parfaits.

CCE’s Creating Healthy Places team led active games with a patriotic twist.

A 4-H volunteer brought materials to make flag decorated candle holders, and another

volunteer aided kids in decorating t-shirts using stars and bleach.

All of the attendees made cards to send to servicemen for a community service project.

Penn State among top 10 worldwide in agriculture and forestry UNIVERSITY PARK, PA — Penn State’s agricultural and forestry programs rank in the top 10 worldwide, according to a recently released report.

The annual QS World University Rankings by Subject reveal the top 200 universities in the world for 30 individual subjects. Penn State was ranked ninth in the category of agriculture and forestry.

For the 2013 rankings, QS Intelligence Unit (QSIU) — a division of QS Quacquarelli Symonds, an international higher education data-research firm — evaluated 2,858 universities and ranked a total of 678 institutions.

Out of the 30 subjects evaluated, Penn State ranks among the top 200 institutions in 29 subjects, placing the university in the top tier of institutions. The 30th subject, pharmacy, is not applicable to Penn State.

The by-subject ranking methodology combines four indicators — academic reputation, employer reputation, citations per paper and H-index citations — to form an international ranking of universities. In agriculture and forestry, Penn State ranked first in citations per paper and fifth in H-index citations, which is a widely used measure of faculty research productivity and impact.

“This ranking confirms what we’ve long believed — that Penn State is one of the finest universities in the world, particularly where the agricultural sciences

are concerned,” said Barbara Christ, interim dean of the College of Agricultural Sciences.

“We are gratified by our particularly high ranking in research citations and H-index, which are clear indicators of the value of our faculty’s work in addressing important scientific questions surrounding food production, natural-resource utilization and conservation, and environmental quality,” she said.

Leader Lori Wheeler working with 4-Her Emma.

Photo courtesy of Wayne County CCE Penn State was one of seven Big Ten universities ranked in the top 30 in agriculture and forestry.

Now in its third year, the QS World University Rankings by Subject is an extension of the overall QS World University Rankings. According to the company’s website, the by-subject rankings are designed to “provide comparative information at discipline level and to highlight the excellence of institutions in specialist areas.”

Page 28 - Section A • COUNTRY FOLKS West • July 8, 2013

Margaret Markley, the 17-year old daughter of Donny and Karen Gunning of Trumansburg, was recently crowned Tompkins County Dairy Princess. She lives and works on her family’s dairy farm, Spring Weather. She enjoys feeding the cows and helping with calf chores. Margaret will be a senior this fall at Odessa-Montour Central school.

She is very active in 4-H, and shows her Jersey cows and horse at the Chemung County and Trumansburg Fair.

Margaret has already been busy with school programs, community events, and parades. She is excited to make memories with her court, and supporting the farms in Tompkins County. Her favorite dairy recipe is “Beef Burrito

with Pepper Jack Cheese and Black Beans” and is printed below. This is a great way to make sure you include 3 servings of dairy every day in your diet.

Helping Margaret to complete her incentives, and share the good news about dairy products are her three Dairy Ambassadors, Mackenzie Weaver, daughter of Garnet and Karen Weaver of Dryden, Elizabeth Drake, daughter of Doyle and Judy Drake of Lansing, and Julia Fouts, daughter of Paul and Laura Fouts of Groton.

To schedule Margaret and members of her court for a community event, parade, or to give a promotional speech, contact Karen Gunning at 607-7423727 or 607-273-0683.

Get through fair season like a champ With fair season in full swing, now is a good time to review your biosecurity plan. Some fairs and exhibitions may require health papers that list specific vaccines, such as for influenza, and may require targeted health testing, such as for Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome (PRRS) virus.

“For many people, youth livestock exhibitions at fairs are their only interaction with livestock,” said Jodi Sterle, a pork producer and an animal science professor at Iowa State University. “It’s important that all swine exhibitors follow proper biosecurity procedures to keep their animals healthy.”

As part of your biosecurity plan, work with your veterinarian to de-

termine the appropriate vaccination schedule and testing needs for your pig.

Steps to consider prior to going to a show include: • Complete all training and paperwork needed for the show in a timely manner (i.e. Youth PQA Plus®).

• Make sure that your pig meets the specific show requirements for your local, county, state or national show (identification, vaccinations, health papers, etc.).

• Take only clean and disinfected equipment to the show to prevent any potential pathogen transfer from your pig to another.

• Bring adequate supplies so you won’t have to borrow or share equipment to prevent getting a disease from other pigs.

• Never bring an unhealthy animal to a show, fair or exhibition.

• Evaluate your pig’s health on a daily basis prior to the show. Is your pig eating normally? Is it coughing, “thumping” or having trouble breathing? Does your pig have a fever or loose stools?

These steps are outlined in the Pork Checkoff’s newly revised booklet, A Champions Guide to Youth Swine Exhibition: Biosecurity and Your Pig Project. Visit the Pork Store on pork.org or call 800-456-7675 for this and other materials for exhibitors.

“Good biosecurity starts with knowing what steps to take at the farm, at the show and when returning home to reduce unnecessary health risks to people and pigs,” said Lisa Becton, DVM, director of swine health information and research for the Pork Checkoff. “The Checkoff will continue to create new ways to help everyone involved in showing pigs do their part to help keep our industry healthy and growing like champions.”

Governor Corbett’s budget makes solid investment in agriculture HARRISBURG, PA — Governor Tom Corbett signed the 2013-14 state budget, increasing support for the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture and

the economy-driving agriculture industry.

“Agriculture is the state’s leading economic driver with more than $67 billion in economic impact,” said Governor

Corbett. “Farming provides jobs for Pennsylvanians and keeps dollars in local communities.

“This budget is an investment in agriculture, which is the corner-

stone of Pennsylvania’s economy and future.”

One in seven jobs is related to agriculture and 97 percent of the more than 62,000 farms are family owned.

“Pennsylvania’s agriculture industry is vital to the state and national economy,” said Agriculture Secretary George Greig. “Governor Corbett’s budget

July 8, 2013 • COUNTRY FOLKS West • Section A - Page 31

keeps our farmers farming, with funding for our top veterinary school, agriculture research, livestock, youth and dairy shows, county fairs and protection of our farmland.”

The Department of Agriculture budget: • Increases funding for the Veterinary School at the University of Pennsylvania at $28 million for veterinary activities, $261,000 for the school’s Center for Infectious Diseases, and $46 million for agricultural research and extension at Penn State; • Support the state’s nation-leading farmland preservation program with $35 million to safeguard productive farmland against development; • Increases funding for the Pennsylvania Farm Show Complex and Expo Center with $4 million; • Provides increased funding for the statesponsored Keystone International Livestock Exposition, All-American Dairy Show and other youth livestock shows by nearly $45,000; • Sustains more than $10 million to continue tax credits for Resource Enhancement Protection Program (REAP), which rewards farmers for best environmental and management practices; • Strengthens funding for county fairs, at $3 million, that attract more than six million visitors each year and showcase the best of local agriculture; • Ensures critical funding for the State Food Purchase Program at more than $17.4 million to help food insecure Pennsylvanians; and • Boosts funding for PA Preferred™, the official brand of agriculture products grown or made in Pennsylvania, with $550,000.

Monthly webinar series on land-use issues to start July 17 UNIVERSITY PARK, PA — A new series of web-based seminars offered by Penn State Extension will cover issues related to land use.

Kicking off July 17, the 75-minute, monthly webinars will be offered from noon to 1:15 p.m. on the third Wednesday of the month. The sessions will include time for questions and answers.

The workshops are intended to help planners, elected officials and concerned citizens

come together to make better land-use decisions, noted Peter Wulfhorst, economic and community development extension educator based in Pike County, who is coordinating the webinars.

“Through this webinar series, you can learn more about planning and current planning issues,” he said.

“The presentations will cover local regulations and how and why they are created, as well as planning tools and re-

sources available to decision makers in Pennsylvania. Participants will learn how to engage in planning to benefit their community.”

The July 17 session, ‘Solar Model Ordinance: Not to be Confused with the Sunshine Act,’ will be moderated by Ed Johnstonbaugh, Penn State Extension educator in Westmoreland County. That webinar will feature Evan Endres, with PennFuture, and Andrew Schwartz, managing principal of

Environmental Planning and Design.

With the rapid growth of solar energy, municipalities are scrambling to understand how to incorporate and regulate this resource, Johnstonbaugh noted.

“Evan Endres will provide a brief overview of the resources created for municipalities by the U.S. Department of Energy’s Rooftop Solar Challenge Team in western Pennsylvania,” he said. “Project consultant Andrew

Schwartz will provide an in-depth review of the model zoning ordinance and guidance on implementation. Participants also will be able to access model best practices and resources.”

Other planned webinars in the series will cover the following topics: • Aug. 21: Transportation Connectivity and Land Use • Sept. 18: The ABCs of Form-based Codes • Oct. 16: Fiscal Impacts of Different Land

Uses • Nov. 20: Facing the Challenges of Plan Implementation The cost of the webinar series is $30 for all five webinars and $60 for all five webinars for those who want to get CM credits from the American Planning Association.

private forest owners with the information and encouragement necessary to manage their forests to enhance ownership satisfaction.

MFOs do not perform management activities nor give professional advice. Rather, they meet with forest owners to listen to their concerns and questions, and offer advice as to sources of assistance based on their training and personal experience.

Some of the program’s biggest supporters are the volunteers who have worked with the program for years. Give one of them a call to learn of the program’s unique benefits. More information regarding the MFO Program, a listing of current volunteers, a sample training agenda and an application form is also available on our website at: www.cornellmfo.info or call 607255-2115.

from the energy sector.

Pound for pound, advanced ethanol is the most carbon reductive alternative to gasoline in the world, and the RFS is driving the commercial deployment of our industry.”

The AEC noted, however, that climate action is not just about average global temperature.

“The need to address climate change is not just about carbon diox-

Inaction is not just irresponsible from a climatological perspective, it puts the United States further behind in the global

race to develop new energy industries, create new American jobs and ensure that high and volatile gas prices do not continue to paralyze economic growth.”

The AEC recently released a progress report demonstrating the commercial progress of the advanced biofuels industry.

mercial deployment just five years after the passage of the RFS and notwithstanding the global economic downturn. The AEC noted that maintaining the RFS and removing inequities from the federal tax code favoring the development of fossil fuels are critical to the ongoing development of low carbon, renewable fuels.

“What we need at this point is for Congress to establish a path and stick to it,” added Coleman.

“The ongoing politicization of this issue just means that clean energy industries are going to build their new facilities on Chinese or Brazilian soil instead of in the United States.

That’s a bad outcome for both political parties.”

Pennsylvania needs transportation funding now Op-Ed by George Greig, Pennsylvania Agriculture Secretary We’re on the edge of a transportation crisis.

More than 9,200 miles of Pennsylvania roads are in poor condition, and that number will nearly double in four years.

About 4,000 bridges are structurally deficient, and many can’t hold trucks, tractors and farm equipment.

The condition of our transportation system affects the way farmers do business and how consumers enjoy the state’s agriculture bounty. Governor Corbett has a long-term solution to fix our transportation network.

Transportation drives our number one industry — agriculture — and we need good roads to get food to Pennsylvanians. Each day, thousands of dollars of agriculture products move on our state’s roadways.

We expect pick up, travel and delivery of our farm products to be efficient.

Products are loaded onto a truck shortly after they are harvested from our fields or pumped from our milk tanks. They should arrive to our consumers safe, fresh and undamaged. But too often, that’s not the case.

Rough roads damage freight and add travel time, meaning consumers may get lower quality products. Many bridges can’t hold the trucks that carry our food, and they’re forced to take detours that add time to trips. Vehicles that travel these deterio-

rating roads burn more fuel and need costly repairs more often. Our aging roads are cutting into farmers’ profits, resulting in higher prices for consumers.

Pennsylvania can’t afford bad roads.

Governor Corbett’s proposal adds $1.8 billion to Pennsylvania’s transportation system.

That money will allow the state to restore our bridges, repave our roads and improve public transportation, while adding as many as 50,000 good-paying jobs.

Pennsylvania’s transportation funding crisis has been decades in the making and while quick money has come and gone, the state has not received a significant funding increase since 1997. The lack of funding is starting to take its toll.

We cannot continue to ignore the problem and increase the burden on future generations. We must fund Pennsylvania’s transportation system now. Under the governor’s proposal, the state would raise additional dollars by removing an artificial cap on the Oil Company Franchise Tax. The governor is also proposing a 17percent reduction in the “flat” motor fuels tax paid directly at the pump by motorists.

Our transportation system needs to be fixed now. Farmers can’t wait and neither can Pennsylvanians. Putting it off costs our economy, our safety and worst of all, it increases the cost for future generations.

Soil Health Field Day scheduled on July 11 Soil health is never more important, nor more obvious, than in a very wet year. At a field day on July 11 in Clyde, NY, learn about options for improving crop and soil performance through rainfall extremes. In fields with well-working tile, cleared outlets, minimal compaction, some surface residues, and water-stable soil aggregates, water percolates through the soil with little ponding or run-off and crops suffer much less damage. The

deeper rooting of crops in healthy soils also sustains them longer through dry periods.

More and more farmers in New York State are taking a second look at their crop rotations, cover crops and reduced tillage, in an effort to improve the health of their soil.

Join us on Thursday, July 11, 9:30 a.m.–2 p.m., at Roger and Scott Arliss’ Pit Farms, 895 Lockpit Rd., east of Clyde, off Rt. 31, for a Soil Health Field Day.

Observe the dramatically different effect of simulated rainfall on a soil with good health vs one that’s been overworked.

See soil layers, compaction and crop root growth in a soil pit. Onfarm trial results with a wide range of grass, legume and crucifer cover crops will be presented, including information on winter triticale and winter malting barley. Reduced tillage equipment, including planters, will be demonstrated. There will time

for you to discuss your experiences with other growers, as well as to ask questions of Roger and Scott Arliss, and the speakers.

Registration for the field day is at 9:30 a.m. and costs $5. A picnic lunch with hot dogs and hamburgers will be provided. For more information on the Soil Health Field Day contact Ron Thorn at: 315946-9912 or rdtswcd@rochester.rr.c om . Sponsored by Wayne County Farm

Scottsbluff, NE. The ranch was originally homesteaded in 1889

by Scott Darnall and incorporated in 1973.

The 124-year-old family ranch now includes some 7th-generation youngsters helping out with 1,700 commercial Angus cows and the Certified Angus Beef ® brand partner feedlot.

Today, the cow herd consists of 1,700 commercial Angus females, which produce 300-400 replacement heifers an-

nually. Bulls are developed using expected progeny differences (EPDs), genomics and the GrowSafe system.

The balance of Darnall Ranch offspring are fed out in the 22,500-head Certified Angus Beef LLC-licensed commercial feedlot, where records are collected for conversion, rate of gain, grade and yield, along with a profitability analysis each year.

Darnall Ranch strives

to use the land and cattle as an efficient and economical multi-generational agribusiness.

Twenty-five thousand acres of grassland, 2,400 acres of irrigated and 4,700 acres of dryland farm ground are used to grow the feedstuffs to help support the cow-calf, yearling and feedlot operations.

The Dairy Cash Crash Issued June 28, 2013 There's plenty of dairy product in the cooler.

USDA's latest Cold Storage report estimated May butter stocks at 323.2 million pounds, up 4 percent from April but 61.6 million pounds or 24 percent above May 2012. American type cheese, at 717.9 million pounds, was up 3 percent from April and 10 percent above a year ago.

Total cheese stocks stood at 1.16 billion pounds, 3 percent more than the April inventory and 8 percent above a year ago.

FC Stone dairy economist Bill Brooks, said in the June 24 eDairy Insider Opening Bell that "The production and (milk) supply reports show trends of the past couple of months are continuing. We have a decent amount of milk production, but it's not burdensome," though "A combination of weather and economics has driven demand to a point where it's not keeping up with growth in production." He adds that "The arrival of warm weather probably boosted demand, but not enough to recoup demand lost during March and April.

Jerry Dryer warned in his June 21 Dairy and Food Market Analyst that "Naysayers" told him the cheese market was about to break lower. Buyers are waiting for the $1.60s, the mid $1.60s, according to a broker source.

But, Dryer asks; "Where are the international buyers?" He points out that the Oceania price is pegged at more than two bucks a pound; European price quotas are as high or higher. He adds that, "If the cheese prices break below $1.70, I don't expect them to stay for very long. However, the new Cold Storage report certainly challenges my position." He pointed out that April butter and American cheese inventories were already at

record highs.

Cheese prices plunged the last week of June.

The blocks closed Friday at $1.6375 per pound, down 8 3/4-cents on the week and a penny and a quarter below a year ago.

Barrel closed at $1.5875, down 12 cents on the week and 7 3/4-cents below a year ago. Eleven cars of block traded hands on the week and eight of barrel. The AMSsurveyed U.S. average block price lost another half-cent, slipping to $1.7502. Barrel averaged $1.7963, up 2 1/2cents.

Cheese production continues at a steady pace with plants trying to maximize schedules, according to the USDA's Dairy Market News (DMN). Domestic sales are steady with some increased interest from export markets.

Cooperatives Working Together (CWT) has helped to accelerate export sales this year, says DMN. CWT announced this week that it accepted another 10 requests for export assistance to sell 3.439 million pounds of cheese to customers in Asia, the Middle East and North Africa.

Cash butter saw a third week of decline, closing the last Friday of June at $1.4275, down 7 1/4-cents on the week and a dime below a year ago. Two cars were sold.

The AMS surveyed butter price averaged $1.5501, down 1.9 cents. Increased butter in cold storage is weighing on the market, according to DMN. FC Stone dairy broker Dave Kurzawski stated in the June 27 Insider Opening Bell that "trade reports indicate ice cream sales in June were off 3-5 percent. "That's a big chunk of product that's not moving at the margin," he said.

The only good news in the cash market was that Grade A and Extra Grade nonfat dry milk remained at $1.73 and $1.70 re-

spectively. AMS powder averaged $1.6878, up 0.7 cent, and dry whey averaged 58.64 cents, up 1.3 cents.

Availability of spot loads of milk in the Midwest was uneven the week of June 17, according to USDA's weekly update. Some cheese manufacturers indicate their internal milk supplies are declining seasonally and access to additional supplies would be helpful to meet near term orders. A few manufacturers with nonfat dry milk and cheese production capabilities are sending additional loads of milk to powder operations as that market appears to be gaining near term strength.

April milk production in New Zealand was down was 34.5 percent from April 2012, according to DMN. The June April output, at 18.9 million tons, is running 0.2 percent lower than the previous season. Australian production is expected to continue at the light side of normal with projections being eased lowered.

USDA's latest Ag Prices report showed increased feed prices in June while the all-milk price was steady. The June milk-feed price ratio, at 1.53, was unchanged from May and up from 1.38 in June 2012. The U.S. average

all-milk price was $19.70 per hundredweight (cwt.), unchanged from May but up $3.40 from a year ago. Corn, at $7.02 per bushel, was up 3 cents from May and

up 65 cents from a year ago. Soybeans averaged $15.10 per bushel, up 20 cents from May and $1.20 more than June 2012. Alfalfa hay averaged $220 per ton, down

$1 from May, but $19 more than a year ago.

California's July Class I milk price was announced by the California Department of Food

Mielke from B15 and Agriculture (CDFA) at $19.59 per cwt. for the north and $19.86 for the south, down $1.25 and $1.26 respectively from June but both are $1.99 above July 2012. The prices include another temporary increase mandated by CDFA as a result of a May 21 hearing.

The northern 2013 average now stands at $19.82, up from $17.79 a year ago and 3 cents shy of the average in 2011. The southern average now stands at $20.09, up from $18.06 a year ago and also 3 cents shy of the average in 2011.

California Ag Secretary Karen Ross announced the temporary milk pricing formula adjustments on June 21, resulting in an estimated 12.5 cent per cwt. increase in the milk price paid to the state's dairy producers for July 1 through December 31, 2013.

Formula adjustments for the period FebruaryMay 2013 had boosted the state's milk price by about 25 cents per cwt., but expired at the end of May. DairyBusiness Update (DBU) reported that, effective July 1, the Class 1 milk fat price was increased 3 cents per pound; the Class 1 milk solids-not-fat price was raised by 23 cents per pound; and the Class 1 milk fluid carrier price by 0.01 cents per pound, for a total impact of about 3 cents per cwt. to the Class 1 price.

The mandate increases the Class 2 and 3 milk fat and milk solids-not-fat price by 41 cents per pound., with the impact of boosting the Class 2/3 prices by about 5 cents per cwt., according to DBU. The Class 4a and 4b milk fat and milk solidsnot-fat price is raised by 1.23 cents per pound, with the impact of boosting the Class 4a/4b prices by about 15 cents per cwt. On average, these adjustments will increase the monthly pool prices about 12.5 cents per cwt. for the period of July 1-December 31, 2013, according to DBU. Looking "back to the futures;" second half Federal order 2013 Class III contracts portended an $18.48 per hundredweight average on June 14. That figure slipped to

$18.34 on June 21 and was hovering around $17.86 late morning June 28.

The University of Wisconsin's Dr. Brian Gould forecast a May MILC payment of 69.79 cents per cwt. and he expects no further MILC payments for the foreseeable

future regardless of the Farm Bill situation.

Speaking of the Farm Bill; DBU reported that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) said the Senate will not pass another temporary Farm Bill extension and urged House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) to in-

stead to pick up the Senate version and bring it up in the House.

The Dairy Business Association and the Wisconsin Farm Bureau Federation praised passage of the GoodlatteScott amendment and stated in a press release that they "applaud the

House of Representatives for adopting, on a vote of 291-135, to modernize the dairy safety net program without interfering with milk production or the dairy market by providing a dairy margin insurance program without supply management." "Even though the

final vote on the passage of the farm bill failed, the overwhelming support of the Goodlatte/Scott amendment will send a strong message in the future that farmers do not want the government controlling their milk production."

ATA congratulates Anthony Foxx on his confirmation as DOT Secretary Leaders from American Trucking Associations congratulated Anthony Foxx after the U.S. Senate voted unanimously to confirm him as the next U.S. Secretary of Transportation.

“I’d like to offer my heartiest congratulations to Secretary-to-be Foxx on his confirma-

tion,” said ATA President and CEO Bill Graves.

“As I said when he was nominated, the challenges of being mayor of a large city like Charlotte are not all that different from those of being a governor, so I’m confident he will be up to the test of providing this country with the

first-rate, world-class transportation system our industry and our economy demand.”

“ATA is and will continue to be open and eager to assisting Secretary-to-be Foxx as he moves into his new role,” said ATA Chairman Mike Card, president of Combined Transport,

Central Point, OR. “As an industry we share his stated goal of having the world’s safest, most efficient transportation network. So I offer my congratulations to him and wish him the best as we work to meet those lofty goals.”

Prior to his confirmation hearing before the

Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee, several ATA leaders offered their advice to Foxx as he prepared to take over as Secretary.

Graves also offered thanks to outgoing Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood.

“While we have not al-

ways seen eye-to-eye on the issues, no one can question Ray’s passion and the vigor he brought to the job,” Graves said. “Ray’s zeal to elevate the issue of distracted driving on a national level was one of great importance and our highways are safer because of it.”

the standpoint of farm employers, it creates an entirely new visa category for their workers, both current employees, and prospective new employers.

This new visa system will be administered through the U.S. Department of Agriculture, making it easier for farmers and ranchers to access and use.

It will also assure a future flow of new workers, so that as the economy evolves and jobs shift between sectors, farmers will have the means to recruit and hire new dairy workers."

Five separate lawsuits involving dairies in the Pacific Northwest may have a warning for all U.S. dairy producers. DBU editor Dave Natzke had details in Friday's DairyLine, reporting that U.S. District Judge Thomas Rice, in the Eastern District Court of Washington, denied motions to dismiss environmental lawsuits against several Yakima Valley, Washington dairy producers, allow-

ing the lawsuits to proceed to trial.

The judge's ruling covers lawsuits filed In February by two environmental advocacy organizations. The lawsuits were filed against five Yakima Valley dairies, alleging they violated the federal Emergency Planning and Community Right-toKnow Act (EPCRA) and the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA).

Since the lawsuits were filed in February, those dairies have signed agreements with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to address manure management is-

sues. No trial date has been set and the Washington State Dairy Federation says the lawsuits seek to have routine manure management activities at dairies classified as solid waste dumps and, if successful, they could set legal precedent affecting livestock farms throughout the U.S. USDA announced new rules affecting foods sold in schools this week. National Milk says the rules will "ensure that nutrientrich dairy products will continue to be offered to the nation's students in a variety of forms and settings."

The "Smart Snacks in

Schools" nutrition standards, affecting the calorie, fat, sodium and sugar content of foods that are offered apart from the school lunch line, according to NMPF. These "competitive" foods may be offered in vending machines or other a la carte settings. The snack regulations are similar to overall nutritional rules applied last year to school lunches and breakfasts by the adoption of the Healthy, Hunger -Free Kids Act of 2010.

The International Dairy Foods Association also commended

USDA for "highlighting the importance of dairy in children's diets and taking the necessary steps to help kids meet the dietary recommendations for milk and dairy products."

And, in an effort to revitalize and build awareness of the dairy industry's iconic REAL(r) Seal, NMPF introduced a cartoon character modeled after the logo. A contest is being held to name the character. Details are posted at www.realseal.com .

All entries must be received by August 31, 2013.

But, Three Purdue University agricultural economists believe that another extension of 2008 Farm Bill is a distinct possibility, according to DBU. Chris Hurt, Otto Doering and Roman Keeney question whether Republican House leadership will allow debate on the contents of the farm bill again anytime soon. With the one-year extension set to expire September 30, farmers could see another extension of the five-year agricultural spending plan, DBU reported.

Meanwhile, the Senate on Thursday by a 68 to 32 vote, approved an immigration reform measure that National Milk (NMPF) says "will help dairy farmers with their current and future workforce needs, and provide the entire agriculture sector with much-needed economic certainty."

An NMPF press release stated that the bill "strengthens the border security apparatus to discourage the flow of illegal immigrants to the U.S. From
