Frazier Reiman-Duden
She and her husband, Thomas, own 40 Registered Jerseys and 320 acres of land. Reiman-Duden also shows homebred dairy cattle in the Minnesota showring. The couple also sells hay, which accounts for a third of their farm income, and raise corn and oats to feed the cows. There are only 15 dairy farms in their county and they work hard to ensure youth have the opportunity to showcase cattle if interested. She mentions that it is wonder ful to see youth who aren’t acclimated to agriculture get the opportunity to work with the cattle. Reiman-Duden loves giv ing back to the community and helping youth grow in the dairy industry. She has been a mentor to youth and encouraging them to participate in National Jersey Youth Development Programs.
The USJersey organizations welcomed Haley Frazier, a recent graduate of the University of Findlay, to the home office in
Brent’s parents, Mike and Margaret, encouraged him to try new things outside of the farm which he is thankful for. Brent attended school and gained experiences outside off the farm before returning back to Wickstrom Dairy Inc. When he assumed management, he made several changes and worked on creating more efficiency. Working with family is hard and it is a team effort to efficiently get things done. In the story Brent discusses how he was able to experience life off the farm before returning home and encourages everyone to do so. He hopes more people follow their dreams and continue to make the industry even better.
Reiman-Duden Honored by Minnesota Farmfest
After graduating college, she landed a job with Kings-Ransom Farm LLC in New York as their calf manager, overseeing around 200 calves. After returning home to the farm, Jaylene manages Way-Har Farm as the herd manager. She oversees herd health, reproduction management, youngstock, and employee training. Before getting to that point, Jaylene made a lot of changes throughout the dairy. She encourages all young farmers to keep connections and use your resources.

In Bernville, Pa., Jaylene Lesher and her family own Way-Har Farms LLC. Over the years, this farm grew, just as the family interest did. In 2015, the family went from 100-250 head, that included Holsteins and Jerseys. Along with owning a dairy, the family owns and operates Way-Har Farm Market, where customers can get processed and packaged fresh milk, baked goods, and more. Jaylene always wanted to be apart of the farm, which pursued her to get an animal science degree from Penn State. She wanted to gain experiences outside of the farm during her college years and took every opportunity she came across. She was on the dairy judging team, dairy challenge, and even interned at RosyLane Holsteins and then Bell and Evans Chickens where she was in processing.

The July/August 2022 Farm Journal’s MILK magazine features two dairy farmers who find their way back home after working off the farm. Located in Hilmar, Calif., Wickstrom Jersey Farm Inc. was established in 1972, by the late Duane Wickstrom. From 500 cattle in the late 1980s to around 1,800 in 2010, the herd continued to grow with the help of his sons, Scott and Mike. Wickstrom continued to work on efficiency within the farm and building new areas for maternity and dry cows. Wickstrom now has 2,500 cows. Along with their herd expansion, they started another dairy in 2021, Pinnacle Dairy, where they house 1,200 Jerseys.
THE JERSEY by Bonnie L. Mohr, commissioned by the American Jersey Cattle Association.
3. Ignore the milk that isn’t pooled and is, therefore, unregulated. Choosing this option is, by default, choosing for an increasingly unregulated milk market with no transition plan in place. As Class I sales continue to decline and overall production continues to increase, the percentage of milk marketed outside the federal orders will increase. If the industry chooses to go down this path a transition plan is needed to address the myriad of services the federal orders provide to producers and handlers of pooled milk beyond just pricing. These include market data, audits, and payment terms and conditions. As you attend industry functions this fall and federal order issues are discussed, be sure to ask if the missing 39% is a concern, and if so, what is being proposed to address that concern.
AUGUST 2022 Page 17
While many aspects of the orders are being scrutinized, the two facets perceived to have the greatest impact are the Class I price formula and make allowances. However, a third important issue is receiving virtually no attention. In 2021 only 61% of U.S. production was pooled in the federal orders, meaning 39% of production was marketed outside the regulated system. Why is this important?First,it’s important to understand why some milk is not pooled. Not all areas of the U.S. are within the federal order system, most notably Idaho and Utah, and Idaho is the number #3 state for milk production. However, the majority of the non-pooled milk is Class III or IV produced within the federal order marketing areas. While Class I milk is required to be pooled, manufacturing milk has the option to be pooled. From the beginning federal order pricing was designed to have Class I be the highest priced milk, which combined with the high volume of Class I sales, would entice Class III and IV to be pooled to share in the Class I revenue. However, milk market dynamics have changed dramatically in recent years. Fluid milk sales continue to decline and now represent less than 20% of total production. Therefore, Class I contributes less revenue to the orders’ statistical uniform prices than previously. Furthermore, increased demand for manufactured products, including exports, can increase Class III and IV prices to the point that in many months one will exceed an order’s statistical uniform price. Pooling Class III or IV milk when its price is higher than an order’s statistical uniform price would require the III or IV handler to share their revenue with the other pooled handlers. By not pooling their milk handlers can retain the high-value revenue. Why is this a concern? Not pooling high-value manufacturing milk lowers the orders’ Producer Price Differentials (PPD), and thereby the orders’ statistical uniform prices and in turn, prices paid to producers. What can be done? There are three options.1.Entice manufacturing milk to be pooled by raising Class I revenues. It is
important to note that revenues are a function of both price and volume. Current discussions focus on modifying and increasing the Class I price. However, the concern of depooled Class III and IV milk cannot be addressed through the Class I price. Today’s lower Class I volumes mute the impact the Class I price will have on an order’s statistical uniform price making it more likely that the Class III or IV price will exceed the statistical uniform price.

The Missing 39 Percent: Is it a Concern?
The dairy industry is devoting considerable resources to updating or reforming the federal milk marketing orders (FMMOs).
2. Each order has its own pooling rules, and most restrict how Class III and IV milk can rejoin the pool after it’s left the pool. Making it harder for manufacturing milk to be re-pooled would increase the risk of leaving the pool. Tighter pooling standards would discourage the practice of Class III or IV toggling out of the pool when it would be required to pay into the order and toggling back into the pool when it could draw from the order. Keeping manufacturing milk pooled would also support the two original premises of creating federal orders, establishing minimum prices and pooling revenues. However, the reality is that with tighter pooling standards handlers may opt to simply keep manufacturing milk out of the federal order pools permanently rather than pooling their milk to share in ever-declining Class I revenues.
I challenge the AJCA and breeders to continue to emphasize these benefits and improve the Jersey cow. I would like to finish by expressing my gratitude for the opportunity to serve as president of the association for the past four years. I would also like to thank the staff

ADDRESS OF THE AJCA PRESIDENT Maintaining Her Advantage as the Industry’s Best Address JonathanofMerriam,
Let us start today by expressing appreciation to the Oregon Jersey breeders for hosting the convention this year and welcoming us to their beautiful state. The Jersey cow is why we have gathered for this convention. We have the most efficient, environmentally friendly cow that also happens to produce the most nutrientpacked product of all dairy breeds. We must continue to utilize these benefits while working to advance her genetics to a higher level. We must maintain her advantages of higher components, better reproduction, and more efficient conversion of feed to milk. To do this, we must continue to improve her genetics and not just rely on her current benefits. While we increase overall production, we need to also increase component percentages and improve reproductive efficiency. This is what has set the Jersey above the rest and will continue to set her above the rest if we continue to move forward improving herAsgenetics.anassociation, we must research and gather information to keep the Jersey cow at the forefront of sought-after dairy genetics. We are currently supporting research by updating the sustainability study to clarify the environmental impact advantage of the Jersey cow. We are also supporting research to verify which
Page 18 JERSEY JOURNAL traits are most closely related to lifetime profitability of the Jersey cow. The results of these research projects will help the Jersey breed to maintain her advantage as the best dairy cow for efficient, nutrientrich milk production.

I would like to thank the breeders for their support and dedication to the cow that we all love and who is responsible for bringing us together at events like this. Thank you again for your participation in the annual meetings this week, your attendance in today’s meeting, and your dedication to the Jersey cow.
Good morning and welcome to Portland, AsOre.!our meetings take place this year, once again, we find ourselves in a totally different milk market scenario. Milk prices across the board have greatly improved over the last couple of months to the point where some records may have been surpassed and more have been nearly broken industrywide.As for our Jersey milk, components have been higher than ever before and yet the market still wants more. You would think that our financial troubles in milk production would be over, but unfortunately, not so. As milk prices have risen so have the inputs and costs of production. Fuel, fee and labor—if you can get it—are just a few. Seed, fertilizer, pesticides and herbicides have doubled and in some cases, availability in some areas has been a concern as well. All of these factors keep our feet to the fire to continue to be efficient in every step of our production decisions. Thank God we still have a cow that has been a pioneer in adapting to market prices and changes, and still gives us an edge no matter what those challenges are. Where we have market demands for value-added products like cheese and ice cream, Jersey components are the answer. Jerseys not only answer the call with solids non-fat that appeal to discerning milk drinkers, it’s reputation for producing A2 milk will keep Jerseys relevant to the everchanging market and consumer buying trends.Besides management and marketing issues on the farm, NAJ still has issues to work on: component pricing in orders in the southeast, more marketing of A2 milk, and I think the whole industry needs to work together on getting the alternative nut and soy products out of the dairy aisle. Regarding the marketing of Jersey cattle, the demand should improve along with

I attend several weekly dairy and beef auctions and have seen prices for cows and bred heifers improve. Our example is 6-8 months ago fresh cows milking 80100 pounds were only bringing $1,400$1,600 and last week they were $2,000$2,500. Three quartered and blemished uddered cows that were going to beef were commanding $1,600-$1,800. The future can still look bright, we just have to trust our cow and her ability to continue improving and adapting to market changes.”

To ensure adequate supplies, they build (continued to page 26) “Historically, when milk prices rise, production follows suit. Production this time, though, has been declining.”
Historical Firsts and Prospective Changes for Milk Prices
Production in Australia and New Zealand is down 4%. Less production among the major players means for higher prices for U.S. dairy products.
But storm clouds are on the horizon, especially for cheese prices. On June 23, Cheddar blocks traded on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange closed at $2.10. That would normally be reason to celebrate, but cheese had been around $2.40. Joy has dampened too by high input costs and burgeoning inventory. Cold storage for May was reported to be 1.5 billion pounds, a first in this nation’s history. Dry whey prices are declining as well, currently trading around $.50, down 30 cents from previous months. Those declines add up fast because every penny impacts the Class III price by about 5.7 cents. Butter and nonfat dry milk are the good news makers, at $2.90 and $1.80 per pound, respectively. Equally promising, cold stor age inventories of butter are down 22% over last year. This is significant on the retail side because grocers sell half their product in the fourth quarter due to holiday baking.
REPORT OF NAJ GENERAL MANAGER
Excerpts from the report of Erick Metzger, General Manager National All-Jersey Inc. (NAJ) at the 64th Annual Meeting of the orga nization on June 24, 2022, in Portland, Ore. Alot has happened in the world of milk prices since we gathered last year in Iowa for the annual meeting. So how did we get here, where are we headed and what opportunities exist for NAJ to promote the interests of Jersey producers? Yesterday and Today: Heady Milk Prices
Page 20 JERSEY JOURNAL
The first half of 2022 ushered in un precedented times for the dairy industry. The all-milk price reached a record high $25.90 in March and was broken again in April at $27.10 followed by May at $26.90. The federal order class prices announced in May were historic too. All but one of the four classes of milk surpassed the $25 threshold in the same month, with only Class IV missing the mark by just a penny (Class I $25.45; Class II $25.87; Class III $25.21; Class IV $24.99).Historically, when milk prices rise, pro duction follows suit. Production this time, though, has been declining. The national dairy herd numbered 102,000 fewer cows in May 2022 than May 2021. And though cow numbers for May are slightly higher (38,000) than January, the overall count for the first five months of the year is down 0.8% versus the same period last year. A primary factor for the decreased production is the use of beef semen on lower-end dairy cows. In 2015 and 2016, domestic beef semen sales hovered around 2.5 million units. By 2021, the National Association of Animal Breeders reported that number to be 8.6 million units, an increase of 6 million units across a short, five-year span. Most of that additional se men has been used on dairy cows to create beef animals, which means fewer dairy replacements are available. Astronomical input costs have also sup pressed production. Corn is currently $7 per bushel and soybean meal is $400 a ton. Labor and energy costs are sky high too, effectively squashing any producer’s desire to expand the parlor or build another barn. inventory during the first three quarters. When inventories are down now, prices are likely to remain elevated. Another blow for milk prices could be the narrowing, or disappearing, U.S. price advantage for exports. In six of the last seven auctions, the overall price index of the Global Dairy Trade, the leading inter national auction, fell. On the Horizon: Jersey Interests Though there has been no Federal Order hearing on a national or individual Order basis for at least 10 years, we could have experienced one of each by the time we meet next year. In the Southeast, which includes Orders 5, 6 and 7, the Dairy Cooperatives Market ing Association (DCMA) plans to submit a hearing proposal to modify and expand transportation credits. These assessments on Class I milk help to offset the costs of transporting milk from outside the Orders to bottling plants inside the Orders when local production is Transportationdeficit.credits, unique to the Southeast Order, are themselves not of interest to NAJ. However, the hearing to address them presents a window of op portunity for NAJ. Because USDA requests to review all proposals at once for the sake of efficiency, the timing is ideal for NAJ and its supporter cooperatives to submit a proposal to get multiple component pricing adopted in the southeast orders. On the national level, a hearing is antici pated for the middle of 2023. The two issues predicted to garner attention are make al lowances, which haven’t been updated since 2008, and the Class I price formula. Several industry entities are develop ing recommendations for this hearing. A task force of the National Milk Producers Association (NMPF) has made 10 recom mendations that are likely to be revealed at the organization’s annual meeting in Denver in October. An economic policy committee at International Dairy Foods Association (IDFA) is working on recommendations, and the American Farm Bureau Federation is becoming more engaged than previ ous years. Two cooperatives that are not
Many producers are also prevented from expanding due to lingering production quotas and base/excess plans invoked with the pandemic. An estimated 50% of produc tion is currently subject to buyer-imposed limits from processors. Like producers, manufacturers are often prohibited from expanding or operating at capacity due to a lack of truckers and haulers, a limited work force, and surging costs of additions and new equipment. The strong milk price has also been bolstered by a strong export market, with all products setting records for value and near records for volume over the past year. This is due in part to lower production in the country’s three major competitors too. In Europe, which produces 50% more milk than the U.S., production is down 1.5%.
Top Genetics Spur Funding for Youth Programs
The second high selling lot was a first for the National Heifer Sale, rights to IVF a high genomic female.

The event was hosted by Forest Glen Jerseys and held at the Evergreen Aviation and Space Museum. The backdrop is the museum’s famous Spruce Goose airplane.
For the past six-and-a-half decades, the National Heifer Sale has served two purposes: fund national Jersey youth programs and bring buyer and seller together on contemporary, cutting-edge genetics. Each of the past four years, the venue has set a record for series high average. Though a new record was not established this year, the premier sale served its purpose in grand style, auctioning 27 lots for an average of $7,537.04 and generating $20,350 for youth programs.
com.This year, the cataloged lots had an average Jersey Performance Index (JPI) of +128 and Predicted Transmitting Abilities (PTAs) of +591 for Cheese Merit Dollars (CM$). Back to the lineup again this year were in-vitro fertilization (IVF) sessions from high-indexing dams. The two high-selling lots were consigned by Martin Dairy LLC of Tillamook, Ore. Vierra Dairy Farms and Semex Alliance, Guelph, Ont., partnered to purchase the high seller, Cal-Mart Juggernaut Winnie 2666-PET, for $48,500.

NATIONAL HEIFER SALE
The virtual sale was conducted on June 25, 2022, in conjunction with the annual meetings of the national Jersey organizations in Portland, Ore. This year, the sale was hosted by Forest Glen Jerseys of Dayton, Ore., at the Evergreen Aviation and Space Museum in McMinnville and managed by Jersey Marketing Service (JMS). Jersey breeders attending the event socialized with their peers, enjoyed dinner before the sale, and watched pre-recorded videos of consignments on a big screen. The ring backdrop for auctioneer Chris Hill and JMS Manager Greg Lavan was the Spruce Goose. The largest wooden airplane ever built flew just once, on November 2, 1947, in Long Beach, Calif. Jersey breeders who were unable to attend watched the sale live online and placed bids through CowBuyer.

The heifer given for this year’s fundraiser was JX Forest Glen Spiral Huxley {5}, donated by Forest Glen Jerseys and the Bansen Family, Dayton, Ore. During the week, squares, totaling $5,230, were sold for chances to win the heifer in Oregon. Endres Jazzy Jerseys, Lodi, Wis., was the winner of the bingo contest. They quickly made the decision to donate “Huxley {5}” back and sell her at the National Heifer Sale to raise more funds for Jersey Youth Academy.Shewas the first lot offered at the 64th National Heifer Sale. Bidding quickly escalated and it became clear a group of California Jersey breeders were on a mission to support Academy with their generosity. Three times the bidding reached $2,000 and each time the winning bidder said, “Sell her again.” Placing those three winning bids were Todd Stroup, Hilmar, Wickstrom Bros., Hilmar, and Cornell Kasbergen of Tulare. The fourth Alumni of Jersey Youth Academy were on hand to help promote the program and share their experience.

An additional $7,500 was added to the fund. Jersey Youth Academy is a 501(c)(3) educational foundation managed by the American Jersey Cattle Association to attract, educate and retain talented young people for careers in the Jersey dairy business. Through the first six classes of Jersey Youth Academy, 223 Jersey youth from 37 states have participated. Cow Pie Bingo has now raised $79,960 for the Academy endowment, helping to ensure continuation of the program.
The eighth Academy class will be held July 2023, in Columbus, Ohio. The application period opens on September 1 and closes December 1, 2022.
The permanent fund for Jersey Youth Academy gained $12,750 from the 11th Cow Pie Bingo, held June 25, 2022, during the annual meetings of the American Jersey Cattle Association and National All-Jersey Inc., in Portland, Ore.

NAJ General Manager (continued from page 20) NMPF members may also make their own recommendations. Edge, a cooperative in the upper Midwest that ranks third for milk volume, and Select Milk Producers Inc., which markets milk across several Orders and ranks sixth for milk volume, are expected to weigh in. The issue of updating make allowances is exacerbated by a voluntary cost analysis survey of processors. Just 10 of the 26 cheese plants that provide weekly price data participated and results yielded little insight. The five plants with the lowest make allowances averaged $0.145 per hundredweight. The five high-cost plants averaged $0.379. The current make allowance is $0.20. A solution would be enabling legislation in the 2023 Farm Bill requiring participation by plants that provide weekly price information. But this route means data would not be available well into 2025. Clearly a solution needs to be presented in the interim. Both NMPF and IDFA are working on solutions. When the formula for Class I milk was changed from “higher of” Class III or Class IV to “average of Class III and Class IV plus $0.74 per hundredweight” in the 2018 Farm Bill, both NMPF and IDFA agreed it to be the best course of action. Post pandemic, there have been more downsides than upsides with the change. IDFA wants to keep the “average of” plus an adjuster as it greatly aids hedging strategies which are critically important for new entrants with high-value Class I products such as coffee shops. This can be difficult if the Class I price is based on the “higher of” concept. NMPF is considering two options: return to the “higher of” or retain the “average of” and update the adjuster annually. If you have questions about any of these issues or want to touch base, we are just a phone call, email, or text away. As always, we appreciate and value your support of National All-Jersey Inc.

Bob was a member of the American Jersey Cattle Association and the Ohio Jersey Breeders Association, which he served as director. After a picnic hosted by the Ohio Jersey club, he asked his future bride, Mary Thurston, out for a first date. A month later, standing beside a manure spreader In Memoriam next to the pasture fence, he proposed. Having grown up on a dairy farm too, Mary was not dissuaded by the location and accepted the proposal.
