Celebrate Dairy! For more than 75 years, June Dairy Month continues to recognize dairy foods and the

farmers who produce them. Beginning in 1937, the observance was created as a way to help distribute extra milk when cows started on pasture in the summer months. June Dairy Month’s rich history continues, with communities, companies and people from all over celebrating the many reasons why dairy makes sense for families and the environment. Not only do dairy foods taste great, but they are good for your health and your budget. Plus, they are produced by dairy farmers with a longstanding commitment to sustainability. To better understand dairy’s benefits, consider the following: -Dairy is a nutrient powerhouse, full of vitamins and minerals and helps build strong bones and healthy muscles, control blood pressure, maintain a healthy weight, and reduce risk of heart disease. -At about 25 cents per 8-ounce serving, milk is a bargain, especially when you consider all the nutrients inside. -More than 8,000 Midwest dairy farm families work 365 days a year to ensure nutritious milk and dairy foods are available now and in the future while using a variety of conservation practices and on-farm efficiencies to reduce their environmental impact. Aim for three servings of low-fat or fat-free dairy every day, which is the amount recommended for people ages nine and. Start by finding a new dairy recipe to prepare visit DairyMakesSense.com.

June Dairy Month History

June Dairy Month, an annual tradition developed to celebrate the dairy industry and its many contributions to our society, originated in 1937. During its first two years, 1937 and 1938, it was called National Milk Month. The 1937 event, sponsored by chain stores, was given the theme “Keep Youthful - Drink Milk.” Originally supported by the National Dairy Council (NDC), June Dairy Month was established to help stabilize dairy demand during periods of peak production when cows were turned out to pasture. “June Dairy Month” became the official title of the promotion in 1939 and focused on greater use of dairy products. Campaign material, prepared by NDC, was offered to producers, processors and dairy product distributors. June Dairy Month was initially funded by a one cent per pound butterfat assessment in June. During war years, less emphasis was placed on promotion, more on surviving the war. The retailers helped customers receive an adequate supply of dairy products and provided information to help use them properly. After the war, efforts focused on resuming dairy product usage and regaining “lost” butter sales. In 1947 the slogan was “30 Days for ADA in June.” The goal was “Sales, not Surplus.” By 1950, retailers, producers and processors all worked together to promote June Dairy Month. In 1955 American Dairy Association (ADA) became the national leader for June Dairy Month campaigns. The emphasis changed to sales promotion programs for dairy products, and advertising and merchandising programs were added to an already-effective public relations program. The June promotion became a month-by-month merchandising event in which one or more foods made from milk were highlighted nationwide on a monthly basis. This advertising was visible evidence of dairy farmers’ dollars at work.

About the cows…

June 11, 2015

June is Dairy Month!

PAGE 7

How much milk does a cow give each day? Most dairy cows are milked two to three times per day. On average, a cow will produce six to seven gallons of milk each day. What do cows eat? A cow that is milking eats about 100 pounds each day of feed, which is a combination of hay, grain, silage and proteins (such as soybean meal), plus vitamins and minerals. Farmers employ professional animal nutritionists to develop scientifically formulated, balanced and nutritious diets for their cows. Cows also need fresh, clean water. USDA statistics show that US dairy farmers are producing almost three times more milk with about half the number of cows compared to 1960, thereby reducing the total amount of feed, water and space needed, and resulting in less manure. Is it true that cows have four stomachs? A cow has four stomachs; the first three stomachs process feed in a way that people cannot. Because of this unique digestive system, cows have the ability to convert plants that humans cannot eat into nutritious foods like milk. How many breeds of dairy cattle are there? There are six main breeds of dairy cows: Ayrshire, Brown Swiss, Guernsey, Holstein, Jersey and Milking Shorthorn. A seventh, Red and White, is a variation of the Holstein breed. What do you call male and female dairy animals? Males are called bulls. Females, prior to giving birth, are called calves or heifers. After they give birth, female dairy animals are called cows. How does a cow produce milk? All cows produce milk once they deliver a calf. About 10 months after calving, the amount of milk the cow gives naturally decreases substantially and the cow undergoes “drying off.” About 12 to 14 months after the birth of her previous calf, a cow will calve again, thus providing milk. How long do cows live? The life of a dairy cow varies from farm to farm and from cow to cow; some can live for as long as 20 years while others may have a much shorter life. Dairy farmers work hard to keep cows healthy for a long productive life. However, removing cows from the dairy herd is a common practice that allows farmers to bring in new, more productive cows, thus ensuring a steady supply of milk. Meat from cows that are no longer milking is a valuable source of safe and nutritious food.

Milk’s nine essential nutrients

Did you know that milk provides you with nine essential nutrients? The USDA defines an “essential nutrient” as a dietary substance required for healthy body functioning. Essential nutrients must come from the diet because the human body cannot manufacture them in sufficient quantities to meet daily needs. And, it is more than calcium and vitamin D. From helping repair muscle tissue to maintaining healthy red blood cells, the nine nutrients in milk work together to help keep the body in optimal health. Milk’s 9 Essential Nutrients Calcium-Dairy is probably best known for its calcium, which helps to build and maintain healthy bones and teeth. Potassium - Potassium helps regulate the body’s fluid balance and helps maintain normal blood pressure. It is also needed for muscle activity and contraction. Phosphorus - Feeling sluggish? Phosphorus helps strengthen bones and generate energy in the body’s cells. Protein - Protein does not just come from meats. The protein in milk and cheese builds and repairs muscle tissue and serves as a source of energy. Vitamin D - Also known as the sunshine vitamin, vitamin D is one of the nutrients Americans lack the most. It helps promote the absorption of calcium and enhances bone strength. Vitamin A - Vitamin A helps maintain normal vision and skin. It is also important for bone growth. Vitamin B12 - Vitamin B12 helps maintain healthy red blood cells and nerve cells. Riboflavin - Also known as vitamin B2, riboflavin helps convert food into energy the body can use. It is also important for normal eyesight and healthy skin. Niacin (or niacin equivalents) - Niacin helps bodies digest

June is Dairy Month!

Dairy Facts - environment and sustainability Do dairy farmers care about the environment? Yes. Dairy farmers live and work on their farms, so it’s important for them to protect the land, water and air for their families, their surrounding communities and future generations. All dairy farms must meet the standards for manure storage, handling and recycling set out for them by their state and by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Caring for the environment is a responsibility dairy farmers share with their local community. Good environmental practices are essential to a dairy farm’s success and leave a positive legacy for future generations. Why do dairy farms smell? Animals eat, therefore they produce manure. Manure has an odor. Dairy farmers work hard to minimize these odors by maintaining clean facilities, following proper manure storage practices, and properly applying manure as a natural fertilizer for cropland. In some cases, farms are required to implement an odor management plan. Research and development has inspired new practices and innovative technologies to help farmers maintain clean air for everyone. Dairy farmers care about air quality; their families live and work on their farms and breathe the air, too. What do farms do with all the manure? Dairy cow manure is always put to good use. Most of it is spread on the fields as a natural source of fertilizer. Using manure to fertilize the soil has many advantages, including water conservation. Manure increases the water-holding capacity of soil by 20 percent, so less groundwater is needed to grow crops. Manure can also be composted and sold to local garden stores. Some farmers dry it and use it as a bedding source similar to sawdust. There are even farmers in the US who are able to turn their manure into energy using methane digesters. What about manure getting into the groundwater? Each farm maintains a Nutrient Management Plan, which helps to ensure that the nutrients go into the crops, not the groundwater. Government agencies have strict regulations for granting permits for dairy farms, continuous inspection and testing of the water, and recycling manure. Dairy farms rely on quality groundwater; cows need to drink clean water to produce high-quality milk. Do dairy farms use too much water? No, dairy farmers use water responsibly and judiciously. Many conservation technologies are in place so that as little water as possible is used. For example, water used to clean the milking parlor is reused to clean feed alleys and then to irrigate fields. Using manure to fertilize the soil has many advantages, including water conservation. Manure increases the waterholding capacity of soil by 20 percent, so less groundwater is needed to grow crops. How have dairy farmers made strides to reduce the environmental impact of producing milk? According to Cornell University, the dairy community has already reduced its carbon footprint by more than 60 percent between 1944 and 2007, due to improved cow nutrition, cow comfort, quality of the animals, and other improvements. Compared to farms in 1960, USDA statistics show that US dairy farms today are producing almost three times more milk with about half the number of cows. In addition, milk performed better than other beverages in the 2010 Nutrient Density to Climate Impact (NDCI) Index, which compared nutrient density to climate impact. What is the carbon footprint of milk? A study conducted by the Applied Sustainability Center of the

University of Arkansas found that the carbon footprint of one gallon of milk, from farm to table, is 17.6 pounds of carbon dioxide equivalents (CO2e) per gallon of milk produced on US farms. The total fluid milk carbon footprint is approximately 35 million metric tons, which means that total US dairy greenhouse gas emissions are only about 2 percent of total US emissions, far lower than had been previously reported. Do dairy farms produce a lot of greenhouse gases? According to the US Environmental Protection Agency’s US Inventory of Greenhouse Gas Emission Report, dairy production contributes less than 1 percent of US greenhouse gas emissions. Greenhouse gases include water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide and ozone. Today, producing a pound of milk takes three times less methane than it did in 1924 because of the many efficiencies practiced by dairy farmers. Dairy farmers can continue to find ways to further reduce methane emissions by feeding grains and high-quality forage and by continuing to use other tools such as genetic improvement and superior herd management, according to researchers. Is my milk from local dairy farms? Milk comes from family farms in local communities across the country. There are about 55,000 dairy farms located throughout the US and more than 500 fluid milk processing establishments. There are dairy farms in all 50 states, 98 percent of which are family owned. The other two percent include farms which are university-owned, company-owned (such as Purina and Hoard’s Dairyman) and corporately-owned (such as Horizon Organics). An extensive research study found that it takes about 48 hours (2 days) for milk to travel from the farm to the grocery store. The Midwest is home to more than 9,500 dairy farms and 200 dairy food processing plants. Dairy farm families are committed to producing wholesome, nutritious milk and dairy foods. They depend on US and international markets for the milk they produce. Besides grocery stores, milk from Midwest dairy farms can be found at convenience stores and restaurants. Do dairy farmers practice sustainable farming methods? Yes. By combining scientific advancements and on-farm sensibilities, dairy farmers continually look for new ways to be sustainable. Examples of sustainable farming practices include

June 11, 2015

PAGE 9

97% of U.S. dairy farms are family owned and operated crop rotation to mitigate weeds and improve soil quality, the introduction of beneficial insects to control harmful pests, notillage or reduced tillage crop farming for soil and fuel conservation, and the use of new products with enhanced environmental benefits. Today, approximately 41 percent of crop land is cultivated using conservation tillage techniques that leave at least 30 percent of the previous crop residue after planting. This reduces erosion, retains soil moisture and conserves fuel. Why have dairy farms become so large and industrial? Like other business owners, many dairy farm families are expanding to improve efficiencies. These improvements provide you with high-quality, affordable milk and dairy foods. Dairy farms have modernized to provide better cow care, improve milk quality, and use fewer natural resources. Many have also become larger to allow siblings, children or other family members to join the family business. The USDA estimates the average dairy farm in the US is about 200 cows. All dairy farmers, regardless of their farms' size or ownership, follow strict regulations and best management practices for the health of their families, their cows and their neighbors. The look of the family farm and the technologies may have changed, but the traditional values of caring for the land and animals continue. Why can’t farming look like it did 40 years ago? Farming – also referred to as production agriculture – is about feeding the world. According to US Census Bureau data, the world population in 1961 was about 3 billion people; today it exceeds 6.9 billion. By 2050, it is estimated that more than 9 billion people will inhabit the planet. In 1961, the US population was about 184 million people. In 2010, it was more than 308 million, a 67 percent increase. If agriculture today were no more productive than it was in 1961, it would require expanding farm land by more than 60 percent, or the food supply per person would be that much smaller. Today, it takes less than half as much land on a per person basis to produce our meat, dairy and poultry supply compared to 45 years ago. Increases in agricultural productivity have made this possible.

Whole Milk (3.25% fat) - Contains 150 calories and 8 grams (g) of fat per serving (8 fluid oz). Although not required, whole milk may be fortified with vitamin D at a level of 400 International Units (IU) per 1 quart. If vitamin D is added, the label must state this fact. Reduced-Fat Milk (2% fat) - Contains 120 calories and 5 grams (g) of fat per serving (8 fluid oz). Vitamins A and D are removed with the milk fat. For this reason, these vitamins must be added to 2% reduced-fat milk so that it contains at least 2,000 IU of vitamin A and 400 IU of vitamin D per 1 quart. The addition of these vitamins must be stated on the label. Low-fat Milk (1% fat) - Contains 100 calories and 2.5 grams (g) of fat per serving (8 fluid oz). Vitamins A and D must be added to a level of at least 2,000 IU of vitamin A and 400 IU of vitamin D per 1 quart. The label must indicate the addition of these vitamins. Fat-Free Milk (also called Skim or Non-fat Milk) (0% fat) - Contains 80 calories and 0 grams (g) of fat per serving (8 fluid oz). Vitamins A and D must be added to a level of at least 2,000 IU of vitamin A and 400 IU of vitamin D per 1 quart. The label must indicate the addition of these vitamins. Chocolate Milk (fat-free, 1% low-fat, 2% reduced-fat, whole milk) - Is milk to which chocolate or cocoa and a sweetener have been added. This milk is just as nutritious as its unflavored counterpart. Compared to plain milk, chocolate milk contains about 35 more calories per serving (8 fluid oz). Lactose-free Milk (fat-free, 1% low-fat, 2% reduced-fat, whole) - Is real dairy milk where the natural milk sugar (lactose) has been broken down, allowing for easier digestion for people managing with lactose intolerance. It has the same stellar nutrient profile as lactose-containing milk. Organic Milk (fat-free, 1% low-fat, 2% reduced-fat, whole) - Is nutritionally the same as conventional milk. The term organic simply refers to on-farm practices. Those using the “USDA Organic� seal must ensure that the milk comes from dairy farms meeting specific criteria for that certification process. All milk produced in the United States, whether organic or conventional, must adhere to the same strict federal standards for quality, purity and sanitation. Evaporated Milk (6.5% fat) - Is made by removing about 60% of the water from whole milk. The milk is then homogenized, fortified with vitamin D to a level of 25 IU per 1 fluid ounce, canned and heat sterilized. The addition of vitamin A is optional. If added, each fluid ounce must contain not less than 125 IU of vitamin A. Evaporated Fat-Free Milk (0.5% fat or less) - Is a concentrated, fortified (vitamins A and D) fat-free (skim or non-fat) milk that is canned and sterilized. Sweetened Condensed Milk (8% fat or less) - Is a canned milk concentrate of whole milk to which sugar has been added. The sweetener used (usually sucrose) prevents spoilage. Sweetened condensed fat-free milk contains no more than 0.5% milk fat.

Milk: From Cow to You

America’s dairy farmers are committed to providing you and your family with wholesome milk and dairy products and getting milk from cow to you efficiently and safely. This commitment starts with top-notch animal care. Farmers provide comfortable housing, nutritious feed, preventative health care programs and sanitary milk procedures to keep cows healthy. Milk Is Collected and Cooled in a Bulk Tank Cows respond best to patient, kind handling and regular routine procedures. Farmers milk their cows two or three times a day. The first step in providing you with safe and wholesome milk is by cleaning the cow’s udder and teats to keep the milk clean. The milking machine is attached to the cow’s teats, and the vacuum of the machine gently squeezes the milk out of the cow’s udder. The milk from the cows flows through sanitized pipelines directly to the bulk milk tank. Here, the milk is quickly cooled to 45°F or lower to keep it fresh. It is then transported to the processing plant in an insulated tanker truck. At this point, the process of getting fresh, wholesome milk from cow to you has only just begun. Milk Is Tested, Then Tested Again Milk and dairy products undergo a number of safety, quality and sanitation procedures, including pasteurization (heating the milk to a high temperature for a short time), making dairy the most highly regulated and safest food available to you. The dairy industry works with state and federal regulators to monitor and test dairy production, processing and marketing to ensure the safety and wholesomeness of milk and dairy products. Every load of milk shipped from every dairy farm in the United States is tested for quality. Any milk that does not meet federal quality standards is discarded — never to reach your family. These processes ensure only the best milk makes it from the cow to your family. Handling Milk at Home Once we get milk from cow to you, there are steps you can take to help keep it pure and safe at home. Just follow the three “Csâ€?: Keep milk CLEAN Keep milk COVERED Keep milk COLD

Each day, America’s dairy farmers invest time, energy and passion into producing wholesome milk. Dairy farmers take good care of their animals and the land that they farm. They are active members of the community and contribute to the local economy. They are your friends and neighbors. But most important of all, they are dedicated to producing nutritious and good tasting milk and dairy foods for all to enjoy.

Dairy Trivia

June is Dairy Month!

Did you know there are roughly 350 “squirts” in a gallon of milk? Cows can walk upstairs but not down because a cow’s knees are unable to bend the way that is needed to walk downstairs. A cow spends about 6 hours eating and 8 hours chewing its cud every day. Dairy cows can produce 125 pounds of saliva in a single day. Cows have 32 teeth, all of them on the bottom with a dental pad on top. Cows drink about 35 gallons of water a day – about the same amount as a bathtub full of water. Before milking machines were invented in 1894, farmers could only milk about 6 cows per hour. It takes less than 5 minutes to milk a cow using a milking machine. Cows are milked 2 or 3 times per day. A cow chews her cud (regurgitated, partially digested food) for up to 8 hours each day. That is almost 30,000 chews daily! Dairy cows give more than 7 gallons of milk each day. That is 400 glasses of milk! Cows are referred to as the foster mothers of the human race because they produce most of the milk that people drink. The first cow in America arrived in the Jamestown colony in 1611. Until the 1850s, nearly every family had its own cow. The first regular shipment of milk by railroad was between Orange County, N.Y., and New York City and began in 1841.

Heartland Acres hosts county dairy princesses Story/Photo by Craig Johnson, Executive Director Heartland Acres Agribition Center

June is Dairy Month and, recently, Heartland Acres was graced with county dairy princesses from across the state of Iowa. The princesses were participating in communication workshops along with representatives from a variety dairy and breeder associations. Many of the young ladies will participate in the annual Iowa State competition in Ankeny in hopes of becoming the 2015-16 Iowa Dairy Princess. Also in the group were the 2014-15 Iowa State Dairy Princess Mikayla Lien and Iowa State Alternate

Dairy Princess Rylie Pflughaupt. “What a great group of young ladies we have to represent the state of Iowa dairy industry,” said Leanne Philips with the Midwest Dairy Association. According to its website, the association represents 8,000 dairy farm families across 10 Midwestern states to 38 million consumers. Heartland Acres supports the efforts of dairy producers and educate consumers through exhibits about dairy products and the dairy industry. For information about Heartland Acres call 319-332-0123.

Iowa Crop Report

Farmers finally got into previously wet fields to apply herbicide and side dress nitrogen. Statewide there were 4.3 days suitable for fieldwork, allowing farmers to harvest almost a third of the first cutting of alfalfa hay. Topsoil moisture levels rated to 0 percent very short, 3 percent short, 78 percent adequate and 19 percent surplus. Subsoil moisture levels rated 0 percent very short, 5 percent short, 81 percent adequate and 14 percent surplus. Ninety-six percent of the corn crop has emerged, 4 days ahead of the 5-year average. Eighty-two percent of the corn crop was rated good to excellent. Soybean planting reached 88 percent complete, 9 days behind 2014, and 1 day behind average. The first cutting of alfalfa hay went from a week behind normal to even with the 5-year average this week and now stands at 49 percent complete. Hay conditions rated 81 percent good to excellent. Pasture condition improved to 79 percent good to excellent. Livestock experienced little stress.

JUNE IS DAIRY MONTH!

Milk doesn’t stay on the farm… where milk goes, jobs follow. Dairies create jobs for people who grow and ship feed for cows, as well as for veterinarians, insurance agents, accountants, bankers, and others.
