COVER There is nothing quite like the bond between a kid and a cow. In the cover image this month, Kendall Thomas, North Lewisburg, Ohio, reunites with and showers some love on Summer Breeze Tequila Gayle, Excellent-91%, after she was named Intermediate and Reserve Grand Champion of the International Jersey Show.

Kendall sold part interest in “Gayle” to David Jordan, Entourage LLC and Mike Heath last year. This summer, she was purchased

by Vierra Dairy, Farm, Hilmar, Calif., who exhibited her at the show held during World Dairy Expo in Madison, Wis.

Greg Devine and Sara Barlass were married on October 23, 2021, on the beach that backs their residence on the Gulf of Mexico in Crystal Beach, Texas.

Greg is the national key accounts manager for Semex. Sara is a former Mid-Atlantic The Devines American Jersey Cattle Association (AJCA)-National AllJersey Inc. Area Representative and now works on special projects for the national Jersey organizations. Sara grew up on Barlass Jersey Farm, Janesville, Wis., and is a former National Jersey Queen.

Lawton’s Jersey Farm, Newark Valley, N.Y., was honored in October with a Dairy of Distinction award from the Northeast Dairy Farm Beautification Program. Given to recognize well-kept dairies, the award is based on the concept that attractive farms send positive messages to consumers.

The effort is becoming more important as consumers take a closer look at where their food is produced and demand transparency in how it is produced. Farms in Maryland, New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Vermont are eligible and re-evaluated every year.

The Tioga County dairy is owned and operated by the Lawton family—Merle, Margaret, Mike, Tim, Debbie, Nathan and Ryan Lawton and Chelsie Fuller.

The 80-cow herd is enrolled on REAP and frequently ranks for production. This year, it ranks among the top 10 in the na-

tion for all measures of actual and m.e. production. The 2020 actual herd average is 22,873 lbs. milk, 1,129 lbs. fat and 846 lbs. protein. Also bred for functional type, the herd includes 45 Excellent and 48 Very Good cows and has an average final score of 88.2%.

Chelsie recently won the 2021 Pot O’Gold Production Contest. Ryan topped the 2017 National Jersey Youth Production Contest.

Ryan Junio, Four J Jerseys, Pixley, Calif., was featured on the cover of the October 2021 issue of Farm Journal’s Milk magazine for his use of technology to manage the dairy. He and two other producers shared their thoughts on must-haves and return on investment.

The Junios are building a new freestall barn so they can milk all 4,200 cows at a single location. The move will enable them to better use labor and expand methane production. Other impactful labor-saving technologies are a carousel parlor built five years ago and sorting gates.

Four J Jerseys recently signed a contract to ship A2A2 milk to Land O’Lakes. By genotyping the entire herd, Junio verified that 65% are A2A2 and will transition out those with the A1 gene. Junio uses a large percentage of the herd as recipients for beef embryos, yielding 250 Angus calves each month as an additional revenue stream.

Junio received the American Jersey Cattle Association (AJCA) Young Jersey Breeder award in 2019.

Is Ice Cream the Secret Weapon for the Braves?

According to an article in the New York Times, a soft-serve ice cream machine may have something to do with the Atlanta Braves’ appearance in this year’s World Series. After “the secret weapon” was installed in the clubhouse, the team overcame a midseason slump, earning a division title and the right to play in the World Series for the first time since 1999.

It was a rain-delayed game in late May that started at midnight and a soft-serve machine in the visitor’s clubhouse at Fenway Park that started it all. With nothing else to do, players partook of the delicacy and found it raised their spirits.

Back at home, the team rallied for a machine at Truist Park. General Manager Alex Anthopoulos initially balked, but eventually gave in when he saw they meant business. When the team started winning, the banter between players and Anthopoulos began.

Coincidence? Maybe not. Environment greatly impacts performance. The softserve ice cream machine is now a beloved clubhouse fixture, where players and their families gather to enjoy a simple pleasure of life.

Dairy Co-ops Ranks #2 and #3 on NCB List

The National Cooperative Bank (NCB) has released its annual listing of the nation’s top 100 revenue-earning cooperatives. Seventeen dairy cooperatives rank on the list for 2020, several near the top.

Dairy Farmers of American (DFA) ranks #2 again this year with business revenue of $17.9 billion. Land O’Lakes ranks #3, with revenue of $14 billion ($4 billion attributed to dairy). Also ranked among the top 20 are California Dairies Inc., Darigold and Prairie Farms Dairy Inc., which completed acquisition of the bankrupt Deans Foods’ facilities with DFA. Maintaining its top rank again this year among all cooperatives regardless of industry is the agriculture giant CHS Inc., based in Inver Grove Heights, Minn., with a reported $28.4 billion in revenues.

New Excellent-96% Cow for Jersey Breed

Bri-Lin Valson Spritz is the Jersey breed’s most recent matriarch to be appraised Excellent-96%. Appraisers with the AJCA’s type traits program raised her two final score points, from Excellent-94%, in September to earn the elite designation.

“Spritz” is owned by Vierra Dairy Farms, Hilmar, Calif., and was bred by Brian and Linda Raymer of Bright, Ont. The daughter of Deerview Valson-ET, GJPI -2, was scored at 7-2 and has a three lactation m.e. average of 20,413—943—760.

She has 24 registered progeny to date.

“Spritz” is a two-time Grand Champion of the International Jersey Show, earning laurels in 2019 and this year as well.

JERSEY JOURNAL

The End of an Era Jersey Journal. Two words that bring on different feelings, emotions, or memories to all Jersey breeders. It has been the voice of the Jersey breed, sharing the news of the American Jersey Cattle Association (AJCA) for decades. National All-Jersey Inc., and its enormous impact on milk pricing and Jersey profitability have been shared in the magazine as well.

For 68 years, the Jersey Journal has been distributed monthly to Jersey households across the country and around the globe. Strong support from breeders and allied industry in their advertising have showcased top genetics, favorite moments, and family and business accomplishments. All have helped to build the best dairy breed magazine in the United States. What a great accomplishment.

But, as with much in life, change is inevitable.

The January 2022 issue will be the last time the PRINTED monthly magazine will be delivered to your mailbox. It has been a difficult decision for all. However, there is excitement about the possibilities to grow and expand our services through an online platform.

Information will be faster, more real time and reach more people. The number of people viewing the USJerseyJournal website is nearly nine times more than those seeing the printed version. Advertisers will receive more bang for their dollar with full color ads, links to websites, social media, etc. Readers will receive more editorial to peruse and learn.

Genetics for both production and type will be showcased in a more real-time scenario.

On a personal side, this printed magazine has been a staple of my life for more than 40 years. Growing up I remember fighting with my dad and siblings when it arrived to be the first to read it. In junior high, I very boldly

told my mother “I am going to be Editor of the Jersey Journal.” That came from my exposure to getting to know the staff of the AJCA with our farm just 90 miles away. In 1994, that 13-year-olds dream of being editor became one step closer to reality as I was selected to join the staff as an advertising editor. What a ride it has been working with some incredibly talented and passionate people through the years. The farms we have visited, the breeders we have met, and the joys, heartbreaks and accomplishments we have experienced through the magazine have hit each of us personally too.

The Jersey Journal is a community and will remain that way. Afterall, do you remember the first time you met or visited the farm of someone that advertised regularly in the magazine? Or maybe a cow you read about and then finally getting to see her in person? All moments that most likely started with the Jersey Journal and your interest in the advertisements and articles.

As we begin a Celebration of Jersey Journal and the Jersey cow in 2022, we hope you will be a part of it. January is the end of an era for the printed magazine but is just the beginning of new exciting opportunities. We invite you to share your favorite memories of the breed and magazine with an advertisement in this commemorative January Jersey Journal. It will be a keepsake magazine for all. February will be a turning point for the magazine and will deliver more exposure for those advertising with us online. Keep the memories coming throughout 2022 and beyond.

The staff would like to thank each one of you for your support of the Jersey breed and Jersey Journal. We cannot do this without you.

ship legacy for dairy producers to provide sustainably produced, nutritious foods that nourish people, communities, and the planet.

Dairy farmers have continually innovated to improve their carbon footprint. The ecoforward practices they have adopted between 1944 and 2007 have enabled them to produce 60% more milk with 15.7 million fewer cows, using 65% less water and 90% less land. That O’Brien yields 76% less manure and a 63% smaller carbon footprint.

Fast forward to today and the news is even better. Documented progress shows the environmental impact of producing a gallon of milk has shrunk significantly from 2007, requiring 30% less water, 21% less land and a 19% smaller carbon footprint.

“Dairy farmers are some of the most visionary and imaginative-thinking innovators and they have been doing it for generations,” said Karen Scanlon, who serves as executive vice president of environmental stewardship for DMI, which manages the national dairy checkoff.

“Given the challenges the world faces and growing global competition, our opportunity has never been stronger. There’s a narrative that hasn’t yet been told about the idea of dairy as, not only a nutritional solution, but an environmental solution positively impacting communities and businesses around the globe.”

Working Together on a Long-Term Solution Developing this narrative will take a community effort that has already begun.

Through the check-off funded Innovation Center for U.S. Dairy, a bold statement was made last year regarding the industry’s environmental stewardship goals for 2050. Among the goals were to achieve greenhouse gas neutrality, optimize water usage, and improve water quality over the next three decades.

Keeping consumer expectations in mind, the Innovation Center went through a yearlong process that included input from more than 100 stakeholders, including farmers and processors and retailers, to set the vision and goals. Remember, these goals are NOVEMBER 2021

voluntary and collective and designed to show dairy is a fundamental part of global sustainable food systems.

“In addition to being motivated by consumer trends, dairy sustainability is a proactive path to preserving farmers’ right to farm,” Scanlon noted. “This is about claiming our heritage and history and demonstrating through voluntary commitments and actions that we will continue to have a positive impact on the environment.

“We’ve heard some skepticism and farmers asking many of the same questions we had ourselves. But through our work and researching the possibilities and engaging with other experts, we believe dairy’s vision of being an environmental solution is possible. We also understand and appreciate that there must be a financial return to the farmer, and we feel this strategy can deliver that.”

As well, for several years, a procesScanlon sor working group has been working on in-plant sustainability metrics and reporting through the Dairy Sustainability Alliance® of the Innovation Center. The group includes around 50 representatives from more than 20 companies who meet regularly and engage in processing facility-focused workstreams for waste, water, packaging, and greenhouse gas emissions to drive action and demonstrate progress toward the goals.

Developing Tools for Farmers Not long after the goals were set, the U.S. Dairy Net Zero Initiative (NZI) was

launched to close research gaps and provide science-based documentation and proof to tell the on-farm part of dairy’s sustainability story more credibly, accurately, and comprehensively.

NZI’s aim is to build the case, knock down barriers and create incentives for farmers that will lead to economic viability and positive environmental impact on farm with progress toward the goals.

NZI has four areas of focus designed to help farmers understand their farm’s footprint and consider practices and technology that can help reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve water efficiency and quality, including: • On-farm energy use and renewable energy generation (reducing energy use and, where practical, generating renewable energy that can tip the scale).

• Feed production (methods to reduce emissions, sequester carbon).

• Enteric emissions reduction (building a playbook for feed efficiency through balanced diets for animals, genetics and more).

• Manure and nutrient management (better handling and storage while developing more revenue streams needed to advance manure management).

NZI is supported by leading national dairy organizations including the Innovation Center, National Milk Producers Federation, Newtrient, U.S. Dairy Export Council and the International Dairy Foods Association. Also at the table with the dairy industry are partners that bring technology and resources, including Nestlé, Starbucks, Syngenta, Soil Health Institute, and The Nature Conservancy.

Additionally, the Foundation for Food (continued to page 21)

Investor Groups: decarbonize portfolios and increase investment in climate solutions.

Global Dairy Customers: prioritize sustainability in their supply chains.

Global Dairy Leaders: set sustainability goals for organization.

Countries, including the United Kingdom, New Zealand, Canada, Denmark and Japan: commit to Net Zero.

The move to define “sustainability” is global, involving investors, companies, countries, NGOs and others that have a vested interest and will ultimately establish sustainability standards.

Dairy Sustainability (continued from page 19)

& Agriculture Research provided a $10 million grant for a six-year nationwide Dairy Soil & Water Regeneration project to answer specific questions about dairy crops.

“One of NZI’s greatest assets is the depth and breadth of the U.S. dairy industry and our partners,” O’Brien said.

“The entire dairy community is at the table—from farmers and cooperatives to processors, household brands and retailers.

Leveraging this talent, innovation, diversity, and scale sets the stage for continued environmental progress and a more sustainable planet for future generations.”

Scanlon offers ways NZI will lead to achieving the goals while offering revenue-generating possibilities. While every farm is not expected to do everything, she emphasized that many farms can, and are already doing, employing practices of impact, such as: • Leveraging acres for carbon sequestration and regenerating soil.

• Reducing enteric methane emissions through optimized feed rations.

• Diverting waste from other industries, such as almond hulls or citrus pulp into cow feed, keeping it out of landfills.

• Upcycling manure—a big contributor to a farm’s footprint—into valuable and renewable products, such as fuel and fertilizer.

• Expanding markets for ecosystem services, so farmers can further diversify their revenue, creating incentives for further action and leadership.

Providing Solutions NZI, Scanlon says, is very much about sharing peer-to-peer learnings inside and outside the industry and supporting wider adoption, improvement, and recognition.

With dairy supply chain partners and the broader community supporting the 2050 goals, Scanlon sees dairy continuing its role as an environmental leader and paving the way for a bright future for farmers.

“Our vision is aspirational, but not unrealistic,” she said. “And it’s constructive, disruptive and counter to the current conversation happening now in media and social media that would lead people to believe that dairy is the problem and has no role in the future of sustainable food and farming.”

“U.S. dairy not only has a role, but it can be a solution to society’s most pressing environmental problems. Dairy farmers are not only committed to reducing their impacts but to improving the world around them.”

JERSEY JOURNAL

Proposals Sought for Jersey Cattle and Product Research The AJCC Research Foundation has issued a request for research proposals to be funded in 2022 addressing significant issues for the Jersey breed and Jersey milk producers.

Current priorities for research funding are: • Nutrition of high-producing Jerseys, particularly practical feeding methods to maximize production of valuable milk components; • Factors affecting management of Jersey calves; • Factors affecting semen production of Jersey bulls; • Factors affecting yield and/or quality of products manufactured from Jersey milk; • Factors affecting economic impact of Jerseys: efficiencies, net income, longevity, and lifetime profit; • Optimizing the genetic basis for improving animal health and/or enhancing product quality; • Enhancing environmental impact associated with Jerseys; • New technologies for safe and sustainable food production from Jersey cattle; and • Feasibility of adding value and increasing consumer acceptance of Jersey-derived products through enhanced product quality and branding.

NOVEMBER 2021

Application deadline is December 1, 2021. The Research Advisory Committee of the American Jersey Cattle Association will evaluate the proposals, then forward its recommendations to the AJCA Board of Directors, which will award funds at its meeting in March 2022.

Submissions are evaluated for (a) merit (e.g., potential to advance practical knowledge, creative approach to the problem); (b) competence (i.e., high probability of successful completion within the proposed time frame); and (c) relevance (e.g., problem derived from one of the areas of research priority).

Since 1988, the Foundation has awarded more than $900,000 in seed money for selected projects.

Detailed information about the Competitive Grants Program can be found on the USJersey web site (permalink http:// bit.do/JerseyRFP) or requested from Cari W. Wolfe, Director of Research and Genetic Programs Development, at 614/322-4453.
