Natural foods retailer to farmers: Let cows graze M.L. JOHNSON COLLEEN SLEVIN Associated Press DENVER â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Cows should be outside. That's the position of a Colorado-based g ro c e r y s to re c h a i n t h a t re c e n t l y announced it will carry only dairy products from farms where cows graze in pastures. Natural Grocers by Vitamin Cottage claims grazing improves the health of cows, consumers and the environment, and it hopes to expand an ongoing, national debate over how to best care for livestock. The American Grassfed Association, which helped Natural Grocers develop its rules, said it is the first retail chain to carry only pastured dairy products; many already have rules barring suppliers from such things as keeping chickens and pregnant pigs in cramped cages. But the issue isn't as straightforward as it might seem as weather prevents most farms in the United States from grazing year-round. With no clear guidelines on what qualifies as "pasture-raised," consumers paying a premium for grass-fed milk might be confused about what they are buying. And a dairy nutrition expert says he sees the store's policy as mostly a marketing gimmick. Natural Grocers was one of the first retailers in the 1990s to ban dairy products from farms that used growth hormones or excessive antibiotics, said Heather Isely, whose parents founded the business in 1955. Over time, the family decided that wasn't enough because cows that were drug- and hormone-free still might not go outside. "Consumers are buffeted with all these image of cows grazing on pasture when it comes to dairy," Isely said. "When you talk to most people, that's what comes to mind ... and we wanted to become completely transparent and lift that veil away and say, you know, that's not always the case and you really do need to take a more careful look at your dairy products." The company announced in late April that it would require all dairy products at its nearly 90 stores in western and Plains states to be made with milk from cows that grazed at least 120 days per year, mirroring federal organic standards. To be organic, cows also cannot consume hay or grain produced with genetically modified seed, pesticides or herbicides. A spokeswoman for the U.S. Food and Drug Administration

says the agency does not set standards for pasture-raised or grass-fed products, but labels cannot be misleading. Customers at a Natural Grocers store in Denver said they didn't know how much time cows typically spend outside and the limited information on labels made it hard to tell how animals were treated. Josh Milligan, who picked up a gallon of Organic Valley milk for $6.15, said he thought cows should be allowed spend every day outside, but Natural Grocers' policy was better than those of larger grocery chains. Few farms in the United States can graze animals year-round because of the weather. Snow covers northern pastures in the winter and summer heat dries those in the South. D a n Pe a rs o n c o n ve r t e d h i s d a i r y farm in River Falls, Wisconsin, to a grass-fed operation by growing extra h ay t h a t h e s t o r e s fo r w i n t e r. H e believes it is a healthier system for cows and workers because both spend more time outside. Also, he said he has become a better steward of the land because he has had to learn to grow healthy, lush grass for his 100 cows. "Healthy soils, healthy animals, healthy food and healthy people," Pearson said. But Tom Overton, a Cornell University professor who specializes in dairy cow nutrition, sees the grocery's push for pasture-raised dairy as mostly a marketing strategy. Most farmers who graze supplement their cows' diet with grain to ensure they get proper nutrition, Overton said. If they don't, the cows can produce less milk, undercutting any environmental benefit. "If it takes 15 to 20 cows to produce the same amount of milk as 10 in a different system, that makes a big difference in terms of how much manure is produced," Overton said. Overton says grazing doesn't significantly change the nutritional value of milk, but a nutritionist at the Medical College of Wisconsin says there's some science that suggests milk from pasture-fed cows has higher levels of linoleic acid, which has anti-inflammatory properties. Andrea Moosreiner said she wouldn't read too much into the studies, but thinks Natural Grocers' policy makes sense. "We are what we eat," she said, "and that goes for our livestock too."

June 23-25 Pam Burke community@havredailynews.com No rt h-c ent ra l Mon ta na you ths a nd adults, from 4 years old to 94, have one more chance June 23-25 to take advantage of a premiere rangelands educat i o n o p p o r t u n i t y w h i c h m ay n eve r return to their backyard during their lifetime. Montana Range Days is a traveling educational event, held in different conservation districts around the state for the past 38 years. Range Days stays in an area for two years in a row before moving on to the next conservation district that applies for and is granted the hosting privileges, said Hill County Conservation District Administrator Jennifer Kenck, the organizer of this year’s event in Havre. Range Days offers courses and activities covering plant and weed identification, plant anatomy, range sites and soils, range plant inventory and monitoring, stocking rate and utilization, and range planning.

features of an extensive array of plants, said Kenck. “There is a fellow by the name of Jack Norris out of Browning that has put together plant pressings for decades,” she said. “I don’t know if he’s going to make it this year, but he always has his plant collection there. It’s one of the best anyone has ever seen.” Many of the instructors will be on hand registration day to work with people at the practice site. Also that first day any participants from 4-19 who wish to do so can give an illustrated talk on any range-related topic. All ages compete in the same category, Kenck said, adding that “you’d be amazed at some of the topics.” Other competitions, both individual and team, include plant and weed collections and range displays, on-site plant anatomy and identification testing and range management testing. Many of the youth participants are FFA and 4-H members who use this opportunity to advance their learning and presentation skills, she said, as well as to advance to national competitions. Adults attending Range Days can choose to participate in as many of the workshops and in testing as they wish. They and any family members or chaperons traveling to the event can go on guided tours of Wahkpa Chu’gn Buffalo Jump, Havre Beneath the Streets, Blaine County Museum and Bear Paw Battlefield. For the Blaine County tours, North Central Montana Transit will provide a bus and local teacher and historian Jim Magera will give historical presentations on the way to and at the museum and historical site. Registration is Monday, June 23, from noon to 6 p.m. at Camp Kiwanis about 25 miles south of Havre. Starting at 1 p.m.

FARM & RANCH participants can work through the practice site or tour dalmation toadflax bio-control plots and that evening is the time for illustrated presentations. Tuesday, June 24, will have day-long instruction and the Blaine County tours. Evening entertainment includes a beef banquet and a dance. Wednesday, June 25, activities will include the testing, a youth educational program for those kids not testing and the Havre museum tours, followed by lunch and an awards ceremony. “They’re getting good information and the enrollment price is really good,” Kenck said. “I don’t know of another program out there that kids only have to pay — kids and adults — $50 per person to come for three days, have really good food, meet other people that do the same thing and take in as much information as they can absorb for those three days.” Deadline for the early registration discount is past, so the price, which includes all educational materials, three meals Tuesday and two meals Wednesday, is $55 for individuals and $110 for families. “I would just really encourage everyone to come. I know that falls right into trying to finish up the last push of field work and everything that goes with living in northern Montana, but I don’t know if this will ever come back to the area again,” she added. “I would encourage everyone to come and do it while it’s here and learn from these amazing resources that we are being blessed to bring for these three days.” For more information, contact Jennifer Kenck at the Hill County Conservation District at 406-265-6792, ext. 101 or by email Jennifer.kenck@mt.nacdnet.net or go online to www.montanarangedays.org, and click the Montana Range Days link.

“Then you go out to the Bear Paws and we have a bigger variety of berry-producing shrubs like the service berry, lots of poplar trees, lots of odd little trees that have sprouted up all over of different types,” Kenck added. “There’s a much … larger diversity of little meadow flowers, larger diversity of grasses and, with the past couple years of heavier moisture, what is already there seems to be a little larger, which helps with identifying. It’s much easier to identify a larger robust plant.” Due to the expected increase in variety of plants, the participants’ plant lists this year are extensive, Kenck said.

The program was developed to help preserve rangelands across Montana, and courses are held on-site in various parts of the state to give hands-on, real-world examples along with the classroom academics, said Kenck. “This is about teaching all ages the principles of healthy rangeland, how to identify all of the forbs, the flowers, the little shrubs and then all the grasses you commonly see in a rangeland,” she said. The 2014 Montana Range Days will be held south of Havre in Beaver Creek Park, using Camp Kiwanis as a base of operations and taking advantage of the variety of rangeland plants in the lower hills of the Bear Paw Mountains. While identification of the plants is a central part of the Range Days activities, participants will also learn the significance of the vegetation and be given assessment tools to take home and use on their own land or on other rangelands. “Most all of the philosophies that are taught, and the tools used to do the range-

How it works Montana Range Days is, at heart, an educational event, but it also has a competition element for those who wish to enter into that portion of the activities. To improve the educational value of Range Days participants are divided into age groups: 4-6 years old, 7-8, 9-11, 12-13, 14-19 and adult. Each age group has a curriculum geared toward their learning level with experienced instructors and support volunteers to guide them through activities. The 4- to 6-year-olds have a lot of fun range-oriented activities, as do the 7- to 8-year-olds who also will learn a short list of important range plants and start to learn about specific soils. The 9- to 11-year-old group is where the curriculum starts to get more in-depth over a broader range of topics and the opportunity for competition begins.

Background NRCS was originally formed as the U.S. Soil Conservation Service in 1933, primarily by the urging of its first chief, Hugh Hammond Bennett, who studied and wrote and lectured about soil erosion in the late 1920s. By 1935, SCS was moved under the U.S. Department of Agriculture, largely in response to effects of the Dust Bowl era, says the NRCS website. Renamed Natural Resources Conservation Service in 1994, its mission has remained the same since first formed: to help guide decisions about conservation of the nation's soil and water resources, working “in close partnerships with farmers and ranchers, local and state governments, and other federal agencies to maintain healthy and productive working landscapes,” the website says.

Montana Range Days ■ Continued from page 4 As part of NRCS’s nationwide effort, each state has conservation districts, which generally fall along county lines and carry out natural resource management programs at the local level, working with local producers and government entities. Montana state law mandated development of conservation districts in 1939. They work under the guidance of a board comprising five elected officials and two appointed urban supervisors as well as any number of locals serving as associate supervisors. In addition to working with local producers, conservation districts work closely with other agencies, including Montana Department of Natural Resources and Conservation, weed districts, U.S. Bureau of Land Management, agriculture associations and Montana Extension offices, to further the conservation efforts. A Range Days Committee, with members from all over the state including private ranchers and employees of the different range-related agencies, oversees general organization and administrative matters concerning the event. A booster club within the committee raises donations to help fund portions of the event tax dollars can’t cover and money for scholarship awards, Kenck said. Many of the 40-some instructors at Range Days also will come from these agencies and organizations, as well as local producers who have garnered a wealth of knowledge about local rangelands over the years, she said. “It’s the only program I’ve ever seen

where people — who don’t already work for an agency like DNRC or NRCS or Montana Extension or (other agriculture agencies) — can come and work with just a s m a l l a r my o f p e o p l e w h o a re t h e experts in their field,” said Kenck. “I think the closest thing would be if you could take college courses for free for a whole quarter. “It’s a really amazing program. It’s amazing what they teach the kids,” she added. “They learn all about soil health, key features for identifying plants and ... how to establish proper stocking rates, so when they go back home to their own farms and ranches they can try to figure out if they have too many grazing animals in a certain pasture of if they can put more out. The indicators for plant health information passed down from older ranchers to younger ranchers at home is good, but this adds a whole new level.” This second year in the Hill County Conservation District will be a change from the 2013 Range Days, which were held in the badlands just northeast of Havre, with about 250 people in attendance. “Last year out at the badlands (there were) not as many trees, not as many shrubs, more of the grasses that can handle the soil that is over there which, to me,” she said, “is maybe not as heavy i n n u t r i e n t s a n d t h e n d r i e r, s o t h a t brings in a whole different set of grass species.
