ISU DAIRY DAYS

Prepare for spring with crop scouting, forage inoculants Lang, Ramirez update farmers on practices

By Sherry Newell Contributing Writer

HOLY CROSS, Iowa – In the dead of winter, dairy farmers attending the Iowa State University Dairy Days were encouraged to turn their attention to spring.

The ISU Dairy Days are a series of sessions held in six locations in late January and early February. This year’s theme was “Brining Proďƒžts to Life,â€? and the sessions included a presentation on crop scouting for corn and alfalfa, as well as additional topics.

According to Brian Lang, Iowa State University Extension ďƒželd agronomist, who spoke at the session in Holy Cross, Iowa’s wet fall makes it hard to predict how alfalfa overwintered in 2018-19. “Alfalfa does not harden down as well into the winter with a wet fall compared to normal fall soil moisture conditions,â€? Lang said. “Normally alfalfa crowns will tolerate winter soil temperatures of 5 to 15 degrees, but with a wet fall, maybe that becomes 10

to 20 degrees, and some weather stations have shown soil temperature readings down to 20 degrees during the late January cold spell.�

But, Lang said it is not easily predictable, since another dozen factors can impact overwintering, including alfalfa’s intolerance to the saturated soils that also occurred in fall 2018 and winter in low spots and hillside seepage areas of ďƒželds.

Participants in Holy Cross received handouts on crop scouting for alfalfa and corn production, and discussed some of the more critical periods for scouting. “V3 stage corn is an excellent time for stand counts,� Lang said. “Checking population, uniformity of stand and plant emergence; did you get the stand intended? If not, why not?�

Lang suggested farmers investigate both above and below the ground for planting depth, disease, insects, compaction and other indicators. “At V3 stage, evidence of problems should still be present, whereas at a later stage early signs of why may no longer exist,� he said.

Many aspects of alfalfa management

and scouting were part of Lang’s presentation, including the most common insect pest, potato leafhopper. “We do a good job of watching for this pest in established alfalfa stands,â€? Lang said. “But, we often forget to scout new seedings under the oat nurse crop. Do this by boot stage, since once oats head-out we lose some insecticide options in oat-alfalfa ďƒželds.â€?

Lang provided a website for producers to track growing degree days, http:// www.mesonet.agron.iastate.edu/plotting/ auto/?q=108.

Dr. Hugo Ramirez, ISU Extension dairy nutritionist, took participants further into the growing season with a discussion of silage inoculants, walking through the chemistry that determines the quality of feed given to the cattle at the end of the process.

Ramirez said inoculants speed up fermentation and can increase dry matter recovery by 2-3 percent. “Inoculants are insurance,� Ramirez said. “They don’t improve [silage], they maintain it.�

He asked farmers to consider expense versus investment, risk management versus luck, and nutritional quality and cost versus return on investment.

But, he also identiďƒžed how management of inoculants throughout the process can reduce effectiveness. For example, Ramirez said he has seen the inoculant stored or applied in temperatures that weaken, or even kill, the bacteria. He also sees losses when silages are removed to a different pile or when dry silages are not packed well.

Ramirez recommended testing silage moisture at least once a week and said some farmers test every other day. He said silage might appear normal, but rising temperatures inside the pack can affect dry matter and nutritional quality. “We need to be keeping track of the numbers: what went in versus what is going out [to the cows],� Ramirez said. “Post-harvest management can make or break milk production. If we’re not taking that into account, we’re feeding something different than what the nutritionist recommended.�

Timms, Bentley aim focus at calves, replacements

By Sherry Newell Contributing Writer

HOLY CROSS, Iowa – Three-quarters of the dairy farmers who attended the Iowa State University Dairy Days session said they have more replacement heifers than they need.

Their response was part of a set of questions asked by Dr. Leo Timms, ISU Dairy Specialist and Associate Professor, at the Feb. 6 session held in Holy Cross, Iowa.

The ISU Dairy Days are held in six locations in late January and early February. This year’s theme was “Bringing Proďƒžts to Life.â€? The sessions included presentations on silage inoculants, crop scouting for corn and alfalfa, and an update on robotic milking systems. “We all have replacements and nowhere to go with them,â€? Timms said. “If I’d asked you that question ďƒžve or 10 years ago, none of you would have raised your hands.â€?

According to Timms, many people believe sexed semen has led to too many heifers, but he said it is only a part of the issue. More importantly, dairy farmers are doing a better job with cows and calves.

Using national averages of calving heifers at 25.5 months, a cull rate of 35 percent, and a mortality and cull heifer rate of 10 percent, Timms estimated 74 replacements are available over two years in a 100-cow herd. He offered a free phone application, Preg Calculator, to help determine an individual herd’s replacement requirements.

Timms’ calculations show the cost to get a heifer to ďƒžrst freshening in 1999 was $1,360 and rose to $2,510 in 2015, justifying his determination that the cost associated with replacements is second only to feed cost.

While half of raising a replacement heifer is likely feed, Timms said it is important to consider items like fuel, electricity, supplies, equipment, manure storage and labor.

Complicating matters, Timms said salvage value of a heifer has continued to fall. He cautioned his audience not to rely on heifer prices going back up in a milk price recovery. “It’s not like other years,� Timms said. “Now we have more than we need.�

Timms offered perspectives to consider when evaluating the economics of replacements. Among them was the use of beef bulls, a practice which about half the partici-

pants said they have adopted. But, according to Timms, more information would help dairy farmers make better use of that strategy. “Do we know when we should market those beef crosses to optimize their value?� Timms said. “And, what are the best crosses for quality and dollars? Nobody’s really looked at that.�

Timms also identiďƒžed genomic testing as a way to maximize the value of replacements. “If we don’t get the right calf on the ground, is it really worth raising her?â€? he said.

Jenn Bentley, ISU Extension dairy specialist, also presented at the Feb. 6 Dairy Days session. Bentley offered recommendations on calf feeding equipment protocols.

She laid out possibilities for more efďƒžcient calf kitchens including facilities and supplies for calf feeding and offered a ďƒ&#x;ash drive loaded with videos on the cleaning protocol, in both English and Spanish. Copies can be ordered by emailing Bentley at jbentley@iastate.edu.

Participants in the meeting also tried out several tools Bentley suggested for monitoring cleanliness, including an ATP meter or luminometer. ATP stands for adenosine triphosphate and it will be present if live bacteria exist on a surface such as the lids of colostrum buckets or edges of an esophageal tube feeder. While a meter may cost $1,000, ATP swabs or protein residue swabs may accomplish the same thing with a much lower cost, as little as $2-$3 per swab.

Bentley shared examples of results from ATP meter measurements on transfer hoses for waste milk, bottle nipples and other sources, all of which are hard to clean.

She also recommended reviewing milk replacer storage, pointing out that bacterial contamination can occur on bags, especially during humid conditions. A plastic barrel with a lining might pose an easy solution.

Iowa State University Extension and Outreach will host Boots in the Barn, a program for women beef and dairy producers, in March in the Waukon area. Boots in the Barn is a three-part series for women involved in their dairy or beef cattle operation.

The course will be held March 7, 14 and 21. The March 7 session will feature Denise Schwab, beef specialist with ISU Extension and Outreach, who will provide information on understanding expected progeny differences (EPD), sire catalogs and how that relates to sire selection for dairy and beef producers. A panel of experts will provide information on how to apply this information to an operation, specically addressing dairy and beef crossbreeding programs. The session will be held at the Farmers and Merchants Bank in Waukon from 6:30-8:30 p.m.

The March 14 session will feature Dr. Caitlin Wiley, DVM, and clinical assistant professor at Iowa State. Wiley will share tips and tricks to help ease calving season and difcult calvings. She will use “Frosty,” the life-size cow

model, to demonstrate techniques to simplify pulling malpresentations to result in more live calves. This session will be held at the Waukon Veterinary Clinic in Waukon from 1-3 p.m.

The March 21 session will focus on vaccine handling and management. Dr. Ryan Hammel, DVM, from the Waukon Veterinary Clinic and Dr. Brent Meyer, technical services veterinarian for Merck Animal Health, will discuss vaccine management including handling in the heat of the summer and cold of winter, reading labels and keeping records to align with the Beef Quality Assurance program.

Those interested in the program can register online.

The fee for this program is $5 per session or $15 for all three. The program is also sponsored by a Professional Dairy Producers Foundation educational grant.

The Boots in the Barn program was created after ISU Extension and Outreach staff in Allamakee, Fayette and Winneshiek counties identied the need for additional ag programs for women.

These three counties all have strong dairy and beef operations with 25 percent of Iowa’s dairy herds and 25 percent of the state’s beef cow herds. Dairy and beef production has a lot in common, such as reproduction and cattle health.

For more information on Boots in the Barn, contact Bentley, Schwab or the ISU Extension and Outreach county ofce in Allamakee, Fayette or Winneshiek counties. A brochure with additional information can be downloaded at https://www.extension.iastate.edu/dairyteam/boots-barn.

The 38th annual New Ulm Farm-City Hub Club Farm Show will be held Friday, March 8 and Saturday, March 9, at the Civic Center on the fairgrounds in New Ulm. Friday’s hours are 1 to 8 p.m.; Saturday’s hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. The Hub Club show is the largest indoor farm show in south central Minnesota.

In his light-hearted presentation, Peterson will share stories of his travels in the machinery and auction business.

Kids and their parents will want to be at the show at 10 a.m., Saturday, March 9 when the 65th Princess Kay of the Milky Way, Rebekka Paskewitz of Browerville, will sit down with youngsters for story time, reading books about dairy farming and how farmers care for their cows. Princess Kay will also visit with kids at the Farm Show Ofce booth afterwards.

All together, the show will feature eight seminars on a variety of topics, four each day.

Times, topics and presenters are: • Friday, 1 p.m.; Quick and Easy Home Décor Inspiration by Inspired of New Ulm • Friday, 3 p.m.; Machinery Pete.

• Friday, 5 p.m.; Farmers in Crisis: How You Can Help

by Ted Matthews, Rural Mental Health Counselor • Friday, 6:30 p.m.; Machinery Pete • Saturday, 10 a.m.; Story Time with Princess Kay • Saturday, 11 a.m.; Radon: The Unwanted Guest in Your House by Marc Katz, MN Health Department • Saturday, 1 p.m.; Creating that Great Perennial Garden by The Happy Horticulturist, Tony Guggisberg of River Creek Nursery • Saturday, 2:30 p.m.; The Opioid Crisis in Rural Minnesota by Ruth Meirick, MN Farm Bureau Federation Show attendees will have the opportunity to register for door prizes. Four re extinguishers and four carbon monoxide detectors will be awarded, courtesy of club members Joe Maidl Auctioneering & Real Estate of Lafayette, Don Sanderson State Farm Insurance of New Ulm, and Community Insurance Agency of Lafayette. And, new this year, there will be a kids’ drawing for a rubber-tired “little red wagon” donated by State Farm Insurance. Winners need not be present to win, but will be asked to pick up prizes at a local business. Hub Club members will operate the food stand in the Civic Center entry, serving taco in a bag, pizza, hotdogs, and other treats.

Star Youth

Get to know Veronica Schwartz of Parkers Prairie, Minn.

What dairy or ag-related extracurricular activities are you involved in? FFA and 4-H. Why are you involved in these activities/organizations, and what is your favorite? I enjoy learning about agriculture. It is a good way to meet new people, and these organizations provide countless amounts of opportunities. 4-H is my favorite, because it has helped me nd myself and has taught me many life lessons. I have met some of my best friends through 4-H. Tell us your best experience during your time in these activities/organizations. Serving as a Minnesota 4-H State Ambassador. It’s amazing being able to lead and plan various events that I attended when I was younger. Past state ambassadors have made an impact on my life, and I am so grateful I get the chance to impact today’s youth.

What’s your favorite social media? I don’t have a favorite social media, but it is nice to have because it is a good way to keep up with friends.

What are your career aspirations? I would like to have a career that is involved in agriculture and 4-H.

PHOTO SUBMITTED

What is something you’ve learned from being involved in these activities/organizations? To not be afraid to be yourself.

Veronica Schwartz, 17, is the daughter of Steven and Diane Schwartz, and a senior at Parkers Prairie High School. The Schwartz family milks 75 cows on their dairy in East OƩer Tail County near Parkers Prairie, Minn.

Who do you look up to? I don’t look up to one specic person. There have been lots of people in my life that have impacted me for the better, and I aspire to be like them everyday because it only takes one person to change someone’s life.

Tell us something about yourself that many people don’t know. I enjoy reading. It is a good way to relax and pass the time. My favorite books to read are mystery and adventure books.

Tell us some of your duties on the farm. I feed calves and help milk cows

If you could change one thing in the world, what would it be and how would you change it?
