Farmers markets show increased sales

L

ast week (Aug. 6 - 12) marked National Farmers Market Week. People across the country went to their neighborhood farmers markets to enjoy fresh fruits, vegetables and other spoils of the summer season. In Sullivan County, It was a time to celebrate our agricultural heritage and support our local growers and small business owners. But the celebration doesn’t have to stop. There are still several good weeks of farmers market weather ahead of us. According to Cornell Cooperative Extension (CCE), if everyone in the Sullivan Catskills spent just $10 at a farmers market this summer, it would put $360,000 back into our local economy.

“From an economic standpoint, buying food directly from local producers keeps our dollars local,” aid Melinda Meddaugh, Ag & Food Systems Program Leader for CCE of Sullivan County. “For example, farmers earn at least 90 cents on the dollar when they sell at farmers markets – but less than 17 cents when they sell to big grocery store chains. Why not keep more money in the Catskills, and help our hardworking farmers make a good living? Plus, studies show that when consumers buy locally, 3.7 times more money stays in the community – as opposed to a chain.” The value of neighborhood farmers markets cannot be overstated. Not only do they help to preserve America’s rural livelihoods and farmland, they stimulate our local

economy, increase access to healthy food and promote sustainable communities. The Spend Ten campaign is already starting to pay off “So far, we’ve seen increased sales and customers for the 2017 season,” said Meddaugh. “For example, we kicked off the marketing campaign with a 'Chill and Grill' campaign, starting Memorial Day Weekend, as a result we saw a 300% increase in customer attendance compared to the same weekend last year.” Plus, for those who receive SNAP/EBT/Food Stamps, the farmers markets in Liberty, Monticello and Callicoon give shoppers $4 for every $10 they spend through the

FreshConnect program. It’s an amazing value and a win-win for Catskills’ farmers – and consumers. “There’s a common misconception that farmers markets are too expensive,” said Sullivan County Public Health Director Nancy McGraw. “Unfortunately, this is the number one reason shoppers avoid the markets. This campaign is a chance to prove that’s not true!” Those who would rather get their groceries from a farmers market in Sullivan County have plenty to choose from. With seven markets spread across the county, whether you’re in Roscoe or Rock Hill, there’s always something good to be had. See Farmers Market list, page 4R

Dave Peters has been farming since 1972. Here he makes an early morning feeding of his heifers using some very fresh milk. The Peters Farm, below, is located on North Branch Rd., halfway betwen Hortonville and North Branch in a stretch known as Petersburg.

Dairy farming a way of life for Peters family

B

BY FRED STABBERT III

randon Peters wasn’t sure he wanted to stay on the family farm while he was growing up. While he spent time around his dad and rode the tractor with grandpa

Mac Kolbe during haying season, Brandon didn’t spend all his time doing chores. He worked at Peck’s Market in Callicoon for two years during his early teens when suddenly, at 16

years old, he started to take a real interest in farming. His mom and dad, Cindy and Dave Peters, urged their youngest of three to go to college like his two older sisters.

But Brandon had farming on his mind. “I wanted to farm it,” the 27-yearold said. Dave agreed, “I’ll teach you everything you want to know… but now you’ll be in Dave Peters University. “He’s a pretty good listener,” Dave chuckled as Brandon helped him rebuild a hay wagon recently. Family Affair Dave learned farming from his father, Sydney, who owned a large dairy between Hortonville and North Branch in an area best known as Petersburg. And Sydney’s father, George, also was a dairy farmer during the early part of the 1900s when neary 2,000 dairies dotted the Sullivan County landscape. Petersburg was named after the farming family of Peterses, which, in addition to Dave and Brandon, includes brothers Sydney and Dan as well as a handful of cousins and uncles. Brandon also credits uncle Syd and family friend Bruce Reichmann with giving him the inspiration and guidance to continue a long family tradition. “I milked for Bruce my senior year

in high school,” Brandon recalled. “[Bruce’s wife] Susie and I milked the herd during the winter.” Bruce was courageously battling cancer at the time – a battle he would lose nine years ago at the age of 59. Dave started farming on his own in 1972 and now has 45 years under his belt. Dave and Cindy have three children, Alicia Houghtaling (Todd), Kayla Hornicek (Corey), and Brandon, who is engaged to Carrie Endriss, a vet tech with Youngsville Veterinary Clinic. They also have two grandchildren. Keeping focused Dave and Brandon are constantly looking to improve their 100-plus cow herd and find new ways to keep their Holsteins producing at top levels. Once a month a private, independent nutritionist from Maryland comes to the farm to test the forage and offer suggestions on how to adjust their diet. “{The nutritionist] also does several wherds in Delaware County,” Dave said. “He makes the feed formula by testing all the forage and making a feeding program to fit our herd. “We got a great response from the nutritionist,” he said. Facts and Figures The Peters Farm now ranks as the best dairy in Sullivan County with a 20,954 lb. herd average, including 752 pounds of fat and 662 pounds of protein. y That means that each cow produces 20,954 lbs. – or 2,437 gallons – yof milk per year on average. The figures come from the Dairy Herd Improvement (DHI) program. Tonya Burk of Jeffersonville is the local DHI field technician and she comes to participating dairy farms on a monthly basis to monitor production and other vital statistics important to farmers. “It [DHI testing] keeps you on your toes,” Dave said. “We get a report back every month on every cow. We currently have 25 cows that produce over 100 pounds of milk a day.

The Peters Family – Down the Decades 70 YEARS AGO - 1947

George W. Peters died at his home in Petersburg, between Hortonville and North Branch, on July 18. He was born on the farm where he spent all his life, the

“Almost all mature animals have to produce between 100 to 130 pounds of milk [to remain profitable],” he said. The Peters farm has almost doubled their herd in the past decade. “We have to justify being here,” Dave said. They currently have 100 head of young stock and milk 100 cows. A cow needs to “be dry” for two months a year while a calf is growing inside. To be dry means that the cow is not milked each day. “You really have to be on top of all the paperwork,” Brandon said. A day’s work In addition to being around animals all day and making sure they are well fed, milked at 5:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. and are healthy, Brandon and Dave have lots of work to do. From planting corn in the spring, haying in the summer, feeding livestock, repairing equipment and keeping the barn clean, some days

can easily run 12-14 hours, seven days a week. A typical day for Brandon begins about 5 a.m. when he walks in the barn. “By 8 a.m. I’m usually done milking and then feed the cows and get the other chores done,” he said. “We have relief on Sundays, when John Meyer does the milking,” Dave said. “We have nothing but praise for the job he does for us.” On rainy days like we have been having this summer, the two farmers repair hay wagons, work inside and get machines ready to go. “The reason we try to have good equipment is when we get the weather, we have to be able to go [get the work done],” Dave said. “We try to keep our tractors and other equipment in excellent shape all the time.” Dave said safety is also a big part of everything they do.

Farming is a very dangerous occupation and every three days a farm is killed at work – a staggering and sobering statistic compared to the vital role they play in supplying our country with food and milk for the table. Timing is everything Brandon said after the 15th of May, you can start cutting hay. “It all depends on the weather,� he said. “How you get your crops in can mean the difference between making a profit or not.� The Peters also harvest haylage and chopped corn, which is put into ‘Ag Bags,’ portable silos which sit on the ground and hold 200 tons each. “We rent two of them,� Dave said. “The moisture content of the corn [at harvest time] is everything,� Brandon said. “It has to be right. It makes a big difference. “If you can save on feed, all the better,� he said. “If you’re not on top of it there’s problem. It’s everything.� “The one drawback with farming is there always is room for improvement,� Dave laughed. “None of the

Corn Open House Brandon Peters has planted several varieties of corn in Cochecton and on Wednesday, September 6 from 11 a.m. until 2 p.m. farmers are invited to come down and see how the different varieties did in 2017. “It’s been a real good year [for corn] so far,” he said. The program is sponsored by Cochecton Mills with support from Cornell Cooperative Extension of Sullivan County.

Milk is purchased by haulers who then take it to processors, who then make milk, cheese or other milk products with it. The milk is purchased on a 100 lb. basis, which equates to 11.628 gallons. “2008 and 2014 were phenomenal years [for milk prices],” he said. Colleen Monaghan, Executive Director of Cornell Cooperative of Sullivan County, said, “The farming community as a whole has a great multiplier effect to our economy. “It’s really neat when you look at how many corners of the county the dairy farm touches,” she said, referring to how much farming invests in the local economy.

equipment is cheap… you always have to watch your spending.” A look from the outside Michelle Lipari, who is the Agricultural Educator at Cornell Cooperative Extension of Sullivan County, said, “It does take a lot of hard work and effort to produce good milk. “The way the Peters keep their farm and their equipment is a testament to how well they do,” she said. “They pride themselves in great quality milk cows. “Brendan has certainly taken on more responsibility,” Lipari said. “He’s really learned everything he could from David. It’s Life 101 really coming at you. “It’s wonderful to see a young person carrying on the tradition of farming, especially dairy farming,” she said. “[Working] A successful farm is not just a Sullivan County issue – it’s a national issue. From fluctuating milk prices to other challenges, dairy farmers really need to focus on testing results to get more production from their herd.” Dave agreed. “A difference of 30-40 cents makes a world of difference [in income],” he said.
