Iowa State University Dairy Farm open house will be June 10

Iowa State University Dairy Farm will celebrate dairy month with its eighth annual open house on June 10 from 6-11 AM at the ISU Dairy Farm, located south of Ames. The event is open to the public. Tours will be given every 30 minutes beginning at 6:30 AM and ending at 10:30 AM. Tour stops include the milking parlor, milk house and motorized tour of the farm. Visitors also can learn about commodity groups in the Ag Discovery Center, while sampling free dairy products. The open house includes demonstrations of current technologies and best practices in animal care, product quality, safety and environmental stewardship. The ISU Dairy Farm has 400 milking cows. Each cow produces around 84 pounds of milk per day. The dairy farm opened in 2007 and provides teaching, research and outreach opportunities. Iowa ranks twelfth in the nation in the number of pounds of milk produced, cow numbers and milk produced per cow. Iowa is home to approximately 1,400 dairy farms, which include 212,000 dairy cows and 200 dairy goat farms. Each cow provides $23,445 in economic activity to local communities for a combined annual economic impact of $4.9 billion in Iowa. The ISU Dairy Farm is located on 887 acres at 52470 260th St. in Ames, three miles south of central campus. To get to the farm from Highway 30 take exit 146 on University Boulevard and go south one mile and turn right on 260th Street. Visitors who have recently returned from a trip abroad are asked to wait five days before visiting farms with animals. If you have visited another farm you should change clothing and footwear before visiting the dairy farm and refrain from bringing any food items to the farm. For more information or for planning private tours contact the farm manager of the dairy operation at https://www.ans. iastate.edu/farms/visiting-farm.

June is Dairy Month!

June is National Dairy Month National Dairy Month started out as National Milk Month in 1937 as a way to promote drinking milk. It was initially created to stabilize the dairy demand when production was at a surplus, but has now developed into an annual tradition that celebrates the contributions the dairy industry has made to the world After the National Dairy Council stepped in to promote the cause, the name soon changed to "Dairy Month." National Dairy Month is a great way to start the summer with nutrient-rich dairy foods. From calcium to potassium, dairy products like milk contain nine essential nutrients, which may help to better manage your weight, reduce your risk for high blood pressure, osteoporosis and certain cancers. Whether it is protein to help build and repair the muscle tissue of active bodies or vitamin A to help maintain healthy skin, dairy products are a natural nutrient powerhouse. Those are just a few of the reasons that you should celebrate dairy not just in June, but all year long.

June is Dairy Month!

Dairy leaders applaud the House Education and the Workforce Committee for including key dairy provisions in the Improving Child Nutrition and Education Act of 2016, which was approved today by committee. A bipartisan amendment by Congressmen G.T. Thompson (R-PA) and Joe Courtney (D-CT), specifically targeted at addressing declining school milk consumption, was unanimously approved. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fluid milk consumption in schools has declined in recent years, and in fact most Americans are drinking less milk than recommended by the 2015 Dietary Guidelines for Americans (DGA),â&#x20AC;? said J. David Carlin, senior vice president for legislative affairs and economic policy for the International Dairy Foods Association. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The fact that the school milk provisions have bipartisan support in this bill is an indication of how important it is to promote better consumption of milk by the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s students.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;This bill takes an important step toward reversing the decline in school milk consumption by asking USDA to examine how to ensure that kids are getting enough milk,â&#x20AC;? said Jim Mulhern, president and CEO of the National Milk Producers Federation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;By better aligning the school lunch program with the dietary guidelines, options including 1% flavored milk will be back on the lunch tray in school cafeterias as a result of this legislation.â&#x20AC;? The dairy organizations voiced their support for the Thompson-Courtney amendment in a joint letter sent Tuesday to Reps. John Kline and Robert Scott the committee chair and ranking member, respectively of the House Education Committee. That amendment bolsters recommendations made in the DGA, released earlier this year, which says current laws should continue to make milk integral to all the child nutrition programs. It also requires adjustments as necessary to promote better consumption of milk by the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s students and to permit schools to offer all varieties consistent with the Dietary Guidelines for Americans. The bill also provides innovative approaches to meet the needs of lactose-intolerant children. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Milk and other healthy dairy foods have always been integral to child nutrition programs, from school lunches and breakfasts to Women, Infants, and Children (WIC), Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) and other programs that serve our youth and vulnerable, at-risk populations,â&#x20AC;? the letter said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As the expert advisory panel on the DGA stated, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Consumption of dairy foods provides numerous health benefits, including lower risk of diabetes, metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular disease and obesity. Along with dairyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s longestablished role in promoting bone health, reducing the risk of insidious chronic diseases and conditions demonstrates why milk is offered with every school meal and dairy foods are prominent parts of other nutrition assistance programs.â&#x20AC;? The bill will now move to consideration by the full U.S. House of Representatives.

Ways to add milk to your diet

â&#x20AC;˘ Add milk to soups, smoothies, flans, pancakes, or pasta sauces. â&#x20AC;˘ Start your day with a delicious fruit smoothie made with milk or yogurt. â&#x20AC;˘ Be sure to add at least one cup of milk to your cereal. â&#x20AC;˘ When preparing oatmeal, replace water with milk. â&#x20AC;˘ Swap your regular coffee for a cafĂŠ lattĂŠ. â&#x20AC;˘ Replace a juice box or soft drink with a cup of milk. â&#x20AC;˘ Enjoy a quick vegetable soup - simply purĂŠe cooked vegetables, add milk, seasonings and heat. â&#x20AC;˘ For dessert, enjoy a vanilla or rice pudding prepared with milk, or a homemade muffin with a glass of milk. â&#x20AC;˘ Drink a cup of hot milk flavored with cinnamon, or infused with your favorite tea.

Milk … nature’s

The News & The Guide

Although milk from the cow is processed, it is not an engineered or fabricated food. It is about 87 percent water and 13 percent solids. The fat portion of the milk contains fatsoluble vitamins. The solids other than fat include proteins, carbohydrates, water-soluble vitamins, and minerals. These nutrients help make it nature's most nearly perfect food. Milk products contain high quality proteins. The whey proteins constitute about 18 percent of the protein content of milk. Casein, a protein found only in milk, contains all of the essential amino acids. It accounts for 82 percent of the total proteins in milk and is used as a standard for evaluating protein of other foods. Protein is needed to build and repair body tissues and to form antibodies, which, circulate in the blood and help fight infection. Milk also contains calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, and potassium. The calcium found in milk is readily absorbed by the body. Phosphorus plays a role in calcium absorption and utilization. Phosphorus is needed in the proper ratio to calcium to form bone. Milk provides these two minerals in approximately the same ratio as found in bone. Milk is also a significant source of riboflavin (vitamin B2) which helps promote healthy skin and eyes, as well as vitamins A and D. In adults, a calcium deficiency, along with other factors, may result in bone deterioration called osteoporosis. The recommendations for calcium are 1,000 milligrams for adults, 1,300 milligrams per day for adolescents, 500-800 milligrams per day for young children and 1,200 milligrams per day for adults over 51 years of age. One serving of milk has about 250 milligrams of calcium. It is difficult to obtain adequate calcium without milk and milk products in the diet. About 73 percent of the calcium available in the food supply is provided by milk and milk products. The following daily consumption of milk group foods is suggested by the government's U.S. Dietary Guidelines (recommended serving size is 1 cup): Children 1-8 years old, two servings; children 9 years and older, 3 servings; adults, 3 servings.

Together, milk, cheese and yogurt have nine essential nutrients including calcium, vitamin D and protein. Dairy foods help you build strong bones and muscles, control blood pressure, maintain a healthy weight, and they reduce your risk for heart disease. Milk costs about 25 cents per 8-ounce serving. It is a nutritional bargain with calcium, potassium, protein, vitamin A, vitamin B12, vitamin D and more. Just one serving of yogurt provides one-third of daily calcium needs. One ounce of a hard cheese like cheddar has more protein than an egg. Dairy farmers are conservationists and use a variety of recycling practices and efficiencies to minimize environmental impact. They work year-round to ensure dairy is available now and for future generations.

June is Dairy Month!

Dairy farmers are committed to sustainability and reducing greenhouse gases Todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s consumers are increasingly interested in sustainability and how foods they enjoy aďŹ&#x20AC;ect our environment. At the same time, as the world population continues to grow, agriculture must focus on production eďŹ&#x192;ciencies to provide an adequate food supply. Key challenges to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions while meeting growing global market demand for milk and dairy foods. Good news is that dairy farmers are committed to making progress in this area, and are using the most sustainable on-farm practices so they can pass their dairy operation and the land they work on to the next generation. Progress has been made related to on-farm sustainability practices. The carbon footprint to produce milk has declined by 63 percent over the last 60 years, and dairy cows contribute only 0.54 percent of total U.S. greenhouse gases (GHS). The dairy industry is committed to continued improvement, setting a goal of reducing our overall carbon footprint by 25 percent by the year 2020. Cows produce carbon dioxide and methane as they digest their food, expelling energy in the form of gases. If a dairy farmer can reduce this carbon loss, there will be less of a negative impact on the environment, and their cows will have more energy for milk production. By feeding cows high quality forage, more grain, and adding fats and oil, and feed additives, dairy farmers are lowering their cowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s methane production. The dairy industry is so committed to reducing its environmental impact; the Innovation Center for U.S. Dairy has created a valuable publication titled Considerations and Resources on Feed and Animal Management. This guide highlights recommendations to help dairy farmers ďŹ nd feed and animal care practices that are best suited for their operations as well as the environment. For consumers and dairy farmers, science based recommendations are a win-win solution. This valuable resource, coupled with dairy farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; longstanding commitment to sustainability, will help the industry continue to reduce its overall impact on the environment while delivering responsibly-produced, nutritious dairy products that support the health of people, planet and community.

The News & The Guide

You scream, I scream, We ALL scream for ICE CREAM Everybody has a favorite flavor or brand of ice cream and the debate over whose ice cream is the best rages on each year. While each manufacturer develops its own special recipes, ice cream production basics are the same everywhere. The most important ice cream ingredients come from milk. The dairy ingredients are crucial in determining the characteristics of the final frozen product. Federal regulations state that ice cream must have at least 10 percent milk fat, the single most critical ingredient. The use of varying percentages of milk fat affects the palatability, smoothness, color, texture and food value of the finished product. Gourmet or super premium ice creams contain at least 12 percent milk fat, usually more. Ice cream contains nonfat solids (the non-fat, protein part of the milk) which contribute nutritional value (protein, calcium, minerals and vitamins). Nonfat dry milk, skim milk and whole milk are the usual sources of nonfat solids. The sweeteners used in ice cream vary from cane or beet sugar to corn sweeteners or honey. Stabilizers, such as plant derivatives, are commonly NEW & IMPROVED used in small amounts to prevent the formation of large ice crystals and to make a smoother ice cream. Emulsifiers, such as lecithin and monoand diglycerides, are also used in small amounts. They provide uniform whipping qualities to the ice cream during freezing, as well as a smoother and drier body and texture in the frozen form. These basic ingredients are agitated and blended in a mixing tank. The mixture is then pumped into a pasteurizer, where it is heated and held at a predetermined temperature. The hot mixture is then "shot" through a homogenizer where pressure, on average around 2000 pounds per square inch, breaks the milk fat down into smaller particles, allowing the mixture to stay smooth and creamy. The mix is then quick-cooled to about 40°F and frozen via the "continuous freezer" method (the "batch freezer" method) that uses a steady flow Cash Supply, Inc. of mix that freezes a set quantity of ice cream one batch at a time. Building Center 563-924-2051 During freezing, the mix is aerated by "dashers," revolving 563-928-7224 Dundee blades in the freezer. The small air cells that are incorporated by Edgewood this whipping action prevent ice cream from becoming a solid mass of frozen ingredients. The amount of aeration is called "overrun," and is limited by the federal standard that requires the finished product must not weigh less than 4.5 pounds per gallon. The next step is the addition of bulky flavorings, such as fruits, nuts and chocolate chips. The ingredients are either "dropped" or "shot" into the semi-solid ice cream after it leaves the freezer. After the flavoring additions are completed, the ice cream can be packaged in a variety of containers, cups or molds. It is moved quickly to a "hardening room," where sub-zero temperatures freeze the product to its final state for storage and distribution.

How to enjoy dairy even if you’re lactose intolerant

Peanut Butter and Banana Shake 1 C fat-free or 1% low-fat chocolate milk ½ C frozen banana slices 1 T peanut butter ½ tsp vanilla extract ¼ tsp ground cinnamon Combine all ingredients in a blender; blend until smooth and creamy. Serve in tall glass or on-the-go drink container.

Get cheesy! -The most popular cheese recipe is the United States is "macaroni and cheese." -There are around 2,000 varieties of cheeses. -Cheese takes up about 1/10 the volume of the milk it was made from. -A giant wheel of Cheddar cheese was given to Queen Victoria (1837-1901) for a wedding gift, weighing over 1,000 pounds. -Unpasteurized cheese with a range of ﬂavors should not be sliced until purchase or it will start to lose its ﬂavor and aroma. -Wrap bleu cheeses thoroughly before refrigerating as mold spores may spread to other cheeses and food. -Chilled cheeses should be taken out of the refrigerator one to two hours before serving.

Being lactose intolerant does not mean you have to give up dairy. There are a variety of ways to enjoy milk, cheese and yogurt, and get the nutrients like protein and calcium. Lactose intolerance is commonly confused with a milk allergy. It is estimated that 10 percent of Americans are lactose intolerant, but because this condition is often self-diagnosed, the true prevalence is likely lower. Widespread awareness of lactose intolerance could significantly reduce this estimate. Inaccurate self-diagnosis or misinformation may cause people to unnecessarily eliminate dairy from their diet and miss out on key nutrients. Lactose is the natural sugar found in milk. Lactose intolerance is a gastrointestinal disturbance following the consumption of an amount of lactose greater than can be digested and absorbed by the body. It is not a milk allergy. Symptoms range from mild to severe and occur about 30 minutes to two hours after eating or drinking foods containing lactose. These symptoms include nausea, cramps, bloating, gas and diarrhea. Diagnosis of lactose intolerance is difficult based on symptoms alone because other conditions, such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and celiac disease. Adults tend to have lactose intolerance more often than children, since our bodies may make less of the enzyme needed to digest lactose, as we get older. If you suspect you or your child is lactose intolerant, it is best to talk with your doctor and be tested. Even if you are lactose intolerant, this does not mean you need to abstain from dairy foods. There are a host of solutions to keep dairy foods in the diet, so you still receive the associated health benefits and enjoy their great taste. A cup of milk contains about 12 grams of lactose. Lactose-free milk is one of your best options; it is real milk, just with the lactose removed. In fact, people like the taste of lactose-free milk better than some of the non-dairy alternatives. Some dairy foods also are naturally lower in lactose: A half cup of low-fat cottage cheese only contains 3 grams of lactose while cheddar, Swiss and mozzarella cheeses contain less than 1 gram. Yogurt contains about 13 grams of lactose per serving, but its live and active cultures help digest the lactose for you. This means many lactose intolerant individuals are able to enjoy yogurt without discomfort. A serving of Greek-style yogurt has 4 grams of lactose. There is even lactose-free ice cream! It is possible to enjoy dairy products without discomfort if they do not contain the natural milk sugar. They are labeled as lactose-free products. The absence of lactose is the only difference between lactosefree products and regular dairy products, but the taste is often the same. Look for lactose-free products in the dairy section at your favorite grocery store. Be sure the products are clearly marked as lactose-free. Some foods are more easily tolerated by the body and would be a good choice for many individuals. We suggest these tips to gradually bring dairy back into the diet: Sip it. Start with a small amount of milk daily and increase slowly over several days or weeks to tolerance. Stir it. Mix milk with other foods, such as smoothies, soups or sauces, or pair it with meals. This helps give your body more time to digest it. Slice it.

Master River Stewards Program training offered in Buchanan County

As the Buchanan County ISU Extension and Outreach Horticulturist and Master Gardener Coordinator, you can imagine my interest in nature and its preservation. Recently, I had the privilege to attend an educator training to become a certiﬁed facilitator for the Iowa Rivers Revival’s Master River Stewards Program (MRSP), a comprehensive river course focusing on riverine systems, including skills to paddle and navigate rivers, restoring

aquatic habitat, improving water quality and understanding policies related to ﬂoodplains, river protection and restoration. I’m excited to announce, along with fellow facilitator Sondra Cabell, naturalist with Fontana Interpretive Nature Center, that we will be holding a MRSP program here in Buchanan County. Held on the Wapsipinicon River and Lime Creek Watersheds, the seven sessions will focus on building a network of river experts, who will work with various partner agencies and organizations, to protect and improve Iowa’s rivers for current and future generations to enjoy. The schedule will be as follows (note, locations are subject to change). Introduction (Pre-Meeting): 5:30-7:30 PM July 19, Okoboji Grill, Independence; Session 1 (Watersheds & Ag Policies): 5:30-9:30 PM July 26, Fontana Interpretive Nature Center, Hazleton; Session 2 (River Form & Function): 5:30-9:30 PM August 2, Wolfey’s Wapsie Outback, Quasqueton; Session 3 (Navigating Iowa’s Waters/Wildlife & River Chemistry/Monitoring): 9 AM-5 PM August 6, Three Elms Park to Old Iron Bridge, Independence to Quasqueton; Session 4 (Stream/Riparian Zone Restoration & Impacts on Fish/Wildlife): 5:30-9:30 PM August 9, UNI Dry Run Creek, Cedar Falls; Session 5 (Agriculture Production & Farm/Waste Water Treatment Plant Visits): 9 AM-5 PM August 20, Farm of Dick and Diana Sloan, Brandon; Session 6 (Review & Potential Projects): 5:30-9:30 PM August 23, Heartland Acres, Independence; Session 7 (Post Training /Follow-up, Project Sharing and Evaluation): Details TBD.

Sponsorships are available. To register or sponsor, contact Sondra Cabell at 319-6362617 or email fontanapark@ iowatelecom.net.

On Friday, the Governor completed action on all of the bills approved by the Iowa Legislature during the 2016 session. Unlike last year’s reckless education vetoes made by the Governor, some bills signed this year had strong support from both Democrats and Republicans. Besides approving a $7.3 billion state budget, he also signed three key bills that will help to keep Iowa a world leader in renewable energy by expanding the production and use of wind energy, solar energy, and biofuels that will reduce our dependence on fossil fuels, as well as create good jobs. He also signed into law a bipartisan bill that would address Iowa’s skilled worker shortage by promoting apprenticeship programs, which are essential to careers that require additional training beyond high school. After the Governor’s rush to privatize Medicaid, I fought hard to create additional oversight over of the $4 billion transition. Though many thought he may veto this initiative, the Governor left this language alone. Although it is not as vigorous as we would had liked, it does add an additional safeguard for a program that provides health care to about 560,000 of Iowa’s children, elderly, disabled, and expecting mothers. In my next columns I will give more in depth details of these key bills that were signed into law. In the meantime feel free to contact me with any questions on legislation that you may have been following to see if it was signed into law. It is my honor and a humbling experience to be the State Representative for our community. I appreciate the messages and correspondence I receive from people in the District. You can always contact me anytime at bruce.bearinger@legis.iowa.gov or 515-281-3221.
