She likes to go fast Lund races cars for fun By Danna Sabolik
danna.s@dairystar.com
BRANDON, Minn. – Not many dairy farmers moonlight as racecar drivers, but the racetrack is exactly where Michelle Lund is on weekend evenings throughout the summer. “I’ve always loved wheels,” Lund said. “Racing is in my blood.” Lund grew up on her family’s 90-cow dairy farm in Douglas County near Brandon, Minn. Lund’s brother, William, manages 60 of the cows and milks them in a robot barn, while her parents, Larry and Mary Kay Lund, milk 30 cows in a tiestall barn on the farm. Lund has been racing since she was 14 years old and learned from her family. “Growing up, I watched my dad race then my brother and dad race together,” Lund said. For the Lund family, racing is an escape; a chance for them to get off the farm and connect with a community. “It’s like having another family,” Lund said. “Racing is a getaway for my family. We all enjoy it. If I have a race, I know the whole family will be there.” Racecar driving is a male-dominated sport, but Lund has seen more females get behind the wheel. Lund said she has never been deterred as one of few females. She has won a feature and sportsmanship of the year on two occasions. “Sometimes that’s better than winning a trophy,” said Lund of the peer-chosen sportsmanship award. Lund’s season began two weeks ago with a race in Alexandria, Minn. There, she collided with another car and wrecked a tire rod.

Michelle Lund stands next to her WISSOTA Midwest Modied race car May 11 on her family’s 90-cow dairy farm near Brandon, Minn. This summer, Lund will be racing in Fergus Falls and Alexandria, Minn. “It’s a pretty simple x, but I need some time to work on it,” Lund said. “I can’t steer it right now, so that’s pretty important to x.” It was Lund’s rst race in her new car and rst time in a new racing class. “I’m pretty excited,” Lund said. “I’m ready for a change. I’ve only raced this one time, and it’s a completely different car. … I need to get comfortable with this car and that comes with seat time. The rst time I raced this car, I had only learned to drive it a few hours before. You just jump in a go.” While on the track, Lund’s crew consists of her dad, brother, boyfriend Mason Hutt, and family friend, Tom Bartles. “It’s harder than you think,” said Lund of racecar driving. “It’s more than just turning left. It’s a very competitive sport.”

With the type of racing Lund competes in, WISSOTA Midwest Mods, she is up against familiar opponents every week. “There’s a lot of good racers around here,” she said. “Sometimes I get so nervous I can’t eat before a race.” Aside from racing, Lund enjoys being involved in the community. She is a Douglas County dairy princess and participates in parades, volunteers at nursing homes and also participates in school visits. This year, her family is hosting the Douglas County Lunch on the Farm June 22. “I’m going to have my car out so people can see it while they’re here,” she said. “We’ve never done anything like this before, and we’re excited.” The event will showcase the family’s dairy and also their 130 ewes that give more than 200 lambs each March.

“I think they’re my favorite part of the farm,” Lund said. “I love seeing the baby lambs and helping with lambing.” Lund’s mother also raises 200 laying hens and 1,000 butcher chickens each summer. The family also runs 1,000 acres of cropland. “It’s a very family-oriented farm,” Lund said. “We all pitch in and do whatever is needed.” Lund helps around the farm when she is not at the University of Sioux Falls studying elementary education. She hopes to become a middle school math teacher upon graduation in 2021. While she very much enjoys farm life and learning about becoming a teacher, Lund will never give up her love of racing. “I want to do this as long as I can,” she said. “I love racing.”

MADISON, Wis. – Imagine buying a dairy beverage that requires no refrigeration. It could sit on the shelf for months and never go bad. As unbelievable as it may sound, shelfstable dairy beverages could be the next big thing. The Center for Dairy Research in Madison, Wis., hopes to makes these types of dairy beverages available by creating a one-of-a-kind beverage center – a special facility to test and develop new shelf-stable (aseptic) dairy beverage products. The push for this type of innovation stems from dairy product consumption data from the United States Department of Agriculture that shows fewer people are drinking milk. Fluid milk consumption is down more than 25 percent since the year 2000. “Sales of traditional uid milk have been declining for some time,”

The new Beverage InnovaƟon Center at the Center for Dairy Research in Madison, Wis., will contain specialized equipment like this ultra-high temperature pasteurizer to produce shelf-stable (asepƟc) dairy beverages. said John Lucey, CDR director. “As an industry, we must respond to this market change. What can we do differently? What new products can we make that meet the needs of the modern consumer? Specically, what new beverages can we make that have the benets and nutrients of dairy, but are not traditional milk to transform this into an exciting, hot area?

Organic market not immune to troubled dairy climate Cooperative fullls promise to farmers but takes loss By Jennifer Coyne jenn@dairystar.com
Organic dairy farmers receive a pay price much higher than those in the conventional market, but that does not mean the organic sector is immune to the economic challenges facing the industry. Oversupply of dairy products and increased competition for shelf space as well as global trends have put this sector on alert. “It’s terribly sad. Under the surface, we’re a different industry with different pay prices, but we’re still affected by what’s happening,” said Travis Forgues about the dairy crisis. Forgues is the vice president of farmer affairs with Organic Valley and comes from a dairy farm in Vermont. Unlike the conventional market where pay prices are determined using
a class pricing formula on federal milk marketing orders, cooperatives within the organic market set stable prices based around farm gate prices. For example, Organic Valley creates a pay price that takes into consideration the cost of market goods and will provide a small margin of protability for the cooperative. Over the last 30 years, the cooperative has gradually grown the price paid to farmers from $18 per hundredweight in 1997 to today’s national average of $29.74 per cwt. However, the growth has not always been effective in maintaining protable margins for the cooperative as a business. For the second year in a row, the cooperative has turned a negative net prot totaling $12.6 million, said Forgues. “We do everything we can to not have volatility in the farmer’s pay price, but that also means we might not always get a return on the product,” Forgues said. In 2013, the organic market saw a Turn to ORGANIC MARKET | Page 7

ConƟnued from ORGANIC MARKET | Page 6 shortage of uid milk product as customers, such as Costco Wholesale Corporation, demanded more, and coupled with weather trends and the three-year span it takes to become certied organic. Such events led to a fast hike in pay prices for organic uid milk. “It went way up and moved away from the slow and stable climb we like to see,” Forgues said. “But, what goes up, must come down.” As pay prices ballooned, there was a growing interest in conventional farmers transitioning to organic. Soon, shelves were stocked with a large spread of organic uid milk products and the growth in this division plateaued. “We went from having 20% growth to just 2%, yet had this pipeline of farmers waiting to sell organic milk,” Forgues said. “We’ve always stayed true to our commitment to farmers, but we were bringing on milk we didn’t have space for.” Pay prices fell as the cooperative was forced to sell product on the conventional market. “When we have an oversupply of milk and can’t receive our farmer pay price for it, we sell it into the conventional market,” Forgues said. “That solves our supply problem, but creates a nancial issue.” Two industry trends have kept the organic sector torpid, said Forgues: the oversupply of total milk product, particularly uid skim milk and the threeyear slog of transitioning – operating organically but
receiving conventional prices. The cooperative is reviewing innovation and foreign market potential for skim products, especially as consumer trends continue to show more preference towards full-fat products. “There’s opportunity in China and other countries

that we need to be exploring,” Forgues said. “We hope we can work through tariffs and other pieces of trade so as not to put dairy farmers in a position that will hinder them more than they already have.” Forgues also said the cooperative is continually building on relationships with international organic dairy farmers so the standard for production is universal. By having strong regulations and enforcing those regulations from country to country, the United
States may compete on a level playing eld with other exporters. Within the United States, all organic farmers follow the United States Department of Agriculture National Organic Program regulations. Provisions in the 2018 farm bill will increase funding for education and research of organic practices so farmers have the resources available to adhere to national standards. Farmers are also given nancial support to cover certication fees in government programs, such as the USDA-Natural Resources Conservation Service Conservation Stewardship Program. “There are currently no government programs to subsidize organic dairy unless milk prices would drop below conventional,” Forgues said. “And, that’s not what we’re asking for. All we want is a fair share of the industry and to protect our organic seal.” With the cooperative anticipating 60 new patrons to accompany the 2,000 farmer members this year, the challenges of the last ve years will not diminish unless consumer demand, pay prices and market trends change in the industry entirely. “These are the hardest times. It’s never good for dairy farmers to struggle, because a healthy industry is important for all of us,” Fogues said. “Throughout the world, it should be our mission to provide farmers with stable prices that don’t let them survive, but thrive with enough of a return to have a sustainable, livable wage.”

Spring Meadow cow a farm favorite By Danna Sabolik
danna.s@dairystar.com
Editor’s note: Dairy Star will recognize a cow each issue that is special in the eyes of its owner. From high production and components along with longevity to a good-natured cow with quirky habits, we want to know about a cow that stands out in your barn. To submit a cow for consideration, email krista.k@dairystar.com.
MONDOVI, Wis. – Hannah Summerlot has a special bond with her 13-year-old Ayrshire, Sage. “She doesn’t look her age at all; she has held up really well,” Summerlot said. “She’s pretty amazing.” Summerlot purchased Sage’s dam, Spot, as a 4-H project when she was 9 years old. Spot was the rst Ayrshire added to the herd of 73 registered Holsteins at Spring Meadow farm, owned by Summerlot’s father, Lorn Heck, and uncle, John Heck. Apart from their distinguishing color, Spot’s descendants all have names beginning with S, and the barn now boasts 10 of her relatives. “We have another ve to 10 dry cows and heifers on the farm,” Summerlot said. “They are all from that rst cow, Spot.” All the Ayrshires on the farm are registered with a few crossbreeds sprinkled in the bunch because of a Holstein herd bull. Spot was a special cow for Summerlot, but Sage has always been her favorite. “She’s been with me half my life,” Summerlot said. “I remember when she was born, when she had her rst calf and all the big milestones in her life.” As a young girl, Summerlot was eager to show and brought Sage to the county fair where she performed well.
“We didn’t have a ton of competition, because there’s not a lot of Ayrshires around here,” Summerlot said. “But, she still did well at the county level. She won a lot of awards at the Buffalo County Fair.” Sage has never been problematic or given her owners any issues, and has lived a healthy life. While her production does not compare to the Holsteins in the barn, she has been consistent with breeding and is a low-maintenance cow. “She’s my favorite cow I’ve ever had,” Summerlot said. “She’s just a sassy, fun girl.” She is also a fertile cow and has calved every winter since she was 2. She is expecting a calf again this winter. Sage is a recognizable cow in the barn with deep copper coloring. “She’s a very beautiful cow,” Summerlot said. “Her mom wasn’t as pretty as she is, and none of her offspring have been quite as pretty, but she has a lot of color.” Sage has a daughter and granddaughter milking with her in the barn, and a fourth generation is in the heifer pen. Spot had a certain stall in the barn, and when she passed away, Sage took it over. “If there’s another cow in that stall, she’ll stand there and wait for someone to back them out so she can take it,” Summerlot said. Sage will also wait at the gate before milking time so she can be the rst one in the barn – another quirk inherited from her mother. “It’s funny because she never did these things when her mom was alive,” Summerlot said. “But, it was like she took over those things when Spot passed away.” Sage may be the oldest cow in the barn and the matriarch of the cow family now, but she is no grandma. “She’s more of the boss,” Summerlot said. “She’s very sassy and likes things her way.”

ConƟnued from DAIRY RESEARCH | Page 4 an opportunity to make high-end dairy products that consumers are willing to pay more money for, which will add value back to the farmer.” Located within a licensed, operating dairy plant on the UW-Madison campus, the Center for Dairy Research has more than 30 researchers and scientists conducting basic and applied research. Well-known for its specialty cheese development, as well as cultured products, natural cheeses and dairy ingredients, the CDR is heavily involved in developing new dairy products and processes. “The Center for Dairy Research is deeply committed to helping dairy farmers,” Lucey said. “Whether it’s through cheese, yogurt, dairy beverages, etc., our goal is to get more people consuming dairy as we look for ways to add value to dairy farmers’ milk.” The Beverage Innovation Center’s out-of-thebox thinking will expand dairy beverages to include more than milk. This is good news for farmers and the dairy industry as a whole. Shelf-stable milk-based beverages are not competition for milk. Rather, they offer a solution to the milk surplus and can help grow demand for dairy products by providing more choices in the dairy beverage category. With a shelf life of many months, exportability of these dairy beverages also becomes an option. Featuring a fully aseptic processing and packaging system, the Beverage Innovation Center will become an important platform for creating dairy beverages that do not have to be refrigerated until after opening. These authentic dairy beverages are made from milk and other real dairy ingredients. They are not made from plant-based proteins nor do they act as dairy alternatives. In other words, no almond milk here. Think of it as a new twist on milk – beverages that retain milk’s nutritional prole while giving it a different look and taste and longer shelf life. “We’re all familiar with a gallon jug of milk, but that’s not the only dairy beverage out there,” Lucey said. “Currently, a handful of ready-to-drink dairy beverages that do not require refrigeration can be found at various drug stores or convenience stores – drinks like Muscle Milk® and Ensure®, for example.” A category of drinks that is growing in popularity, these types of dairy beverages offer additional protein and vitamins for extra nutrition and can even serve as a meal replacement. Another example of a new dairybased beverage is Fairlife®. Produced from milk, Fairlife is lactose-free and contains 50% more protein and 30% more calcium than regular milk, however, it still requires refrigeration. The Beverage Innovation Center, which will open for business in the summer of 2020, will make it easier for entrepreneurs and small businesses to develop new dairy beverage products with broader consumer appeal. Companies will be able to experiment with various avors and nutritional requirements on a small-scale level, giving way to more creativity and the exibility to try out many different ideas. Products at the center will be produced in small batches, making it more cost-effective to test and optimize new concepts. For example, these smallscale trials might be made in hundred-gallon batches to ll a couple hundred bottles. “We’re hoping to work with a lot of new companies or startups,” Lucey said. “The Beverage Innovation Center will help them get the start they need before moving into large-scale production.” The ability to make these unique dairy beverages, and to make them on a small-scale level, requires highly specialized equipment. One such piece of equipment is an ultra-high temperature pasteurizer that briey heats liquid up to temperatures around 280°F to kill all bacteria. This treatment sterilizes the product, which is then placed in sterile packaging, resulting in an aseptic dairy beverage that does not spoil like regular milk – giving it more exibility in shelf life and storage options. Refrigeration is not necessary because all bacterial risk has been removed. “We’ve been working on developing various types of value-added products for more than 10 years but did not have the right equipment onsite and had to nd places around the United States to conduct our trials,” Lucey said. “Once the Beverage Innovation Center is up and running, we can do those experiments here, which will speed up the product development process.” The CDR has received $1 million in grant money to help create the beverage center. The Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation awarded $750,000 in total – $400,000 for beverage equipment and $350,000 for business support – while Dairy
Farmers of Wisconsin awarded $250,000. WEDC will also recognize the Beverage Innovation Center as a “center of excellence.” WEDC-supported centers of excellence serve as anchors around which academic research and development, corporate research and development and commercialization, external investment and company attraction connections are made. The Beverage Innovation Center’s modular and exible equipment lends itself to almost any location and will be housed at a new building currently under construction at the CDR. In addition to providing innovations on the product side, the new beverage center will also aid companies with business development and product launches through CDR’s new Client Development and Growth Program. Specialized consulting services will be available to rural Wisconsin companies with less than 50 employees who are part of CDR’s Technology, University, Research, Business, Opportunities (TURBO) program.

The “Mielke” Market Weekly
Tariffs, tariffs, tariffs
The talk of the week was China’s retaliatory tariffs against the U.S. on $60 billion of goods in response to President Trump’s upping the ante by raising tariffs on imports from China. HighGround Dairy (HGD) stated that while the trade war with China is bearish to U.S. commodity prices, it believes African Swine Fever in China is “taking a much larger toll on US dairy exports rather than the existing and potentially new tariffs that may take effect next month.” “The majority of US dairy exports to China are in the form of sweet whey powder, whey permeate or lactose with recent month volumes at multi-year lows,” says HGD. “China’s hog herd was reportedly down 10% into the rst quarter of 2019 (or more) and the country has been unable to control the outbreak.” President Trump vowed to protect U.S. farmers from the lost sales to China by increasing government purchases of soybeans. Farmers have, for the most part, been supportive of the President’s actions but that support maybe waning. Weather issues are delaying planting and the trade issues have farmers in a conundrum whether to plant soybeans or corn. As I reported last week the Agriculture Department lowered its 2019 milk production estimate for the sixth time in the latest World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates (WASDE) report, blaming declining milk cow inventories and slow growth in milk per cow. 2019 production and marketings are now estimated at 218.7 and 217.7 billion pounds respectively, down 800 million pounds on production from last month’s estimate and 900 million pounds lower on marketings. If realized, 2019 production would be up just 1.1 billion pounds or 0.5 percent from 2018. The report provided the rst preview of what is expected for 2020, projecting milk output to hit 222.7 billion pounds, which would be up 4 billion pounds from 2019. Dairy herds are expected to expand as producers respond to higher milk prices and lower feed costs, according to the WASDE. Milk per cow is expected to continue increasing, plus the forecast reects the one extra day due to leap year. Cheese, butter, and nonfat dry milk (NDM) prices were forecast higher than the previous year on robust demand expectations. However, the whey price forecast was slightly lower on continued softness in export demand. The Class III milk price is forecast to increase as stronger cheese prices more than offset the weaker expected whey price. Look for a 2019 average at
around $16.05 per hundredweight, up 70 cents from last month’s estimate and compares to $14.61 in 2018 and $16.17 in 2017. The 2020 average is projected at $16.55. The Class IV price is expected to increase due to higher NDM and butter prices. It’s projected at $16.20, up 15 cents from last month’s projection, and compares to $14.23 in 2018 and $15.16 in 2017. The 2020 projection is at $16.80. The U.S. feed-grain outlook for 2019/20 is for larger production and domestic use, lower exports, and greater ending stocks. The corn crop is projected at 15.0 billion bushels, up from last year and the second largest on record. The yield projection of 176 bushels per acre. With beginning stocks down from a year ago, total corn supplies are forecast at a record high 17.2 billion bushels. Corn used for ethanol is projected to increase 1% from a year ago. Feed and residual use is projected higher on a larger crop, lower expected prices, and continued growth in grain consuming animal units. U.S. corn exports are forecast to decline 25 million bushels in 2019/20, despite larger world corn trade. With the total U.S. corn supply rising more than use, U.S. ending stocks are up 390 million bushels from last year and if realized would be the highest since 1987/88. Stocks relative to use at 16.9% would be the highest since 2005/06. With larger stocks relative to use, the season-average farm price is projected at $3.30 per bushel, down 20 cents from 2018/19 and the lowest since 2006/07. The 2019/20 outlook for U.S. soybeans is for higher supplies, crush, exports, and slightly lower ending stocks compared to 2018/19. The soybean crop is projected at 4.15 billion bushels, down 394 million from last year’s record crop on lower harvested area and yields. With higher beginning stocks, soybean supplies are projected at 5.165 million bushels, up 3%. The U.S. season-average soybean price is projected at $8.10 per bushel, down 45 cents from the 2018/19 forecast. Soybean meal prices are forecast at $290 per short ton, down $15.00. Cotton forecasts include higher exports and ending stocks. Production is forecast at 22 million bales, based on 13.8 million planted acres. With harvested area up, production is projected 20% higher than in 2018/19. The marketing year price received by producers is forecast to average 65 cents per pound, 5 cents lower than in 2018/19. The latest Crop Progress report shows 30% of the corn crop was in the ground, as of the week ending May 12, up from 23% the previous week, down 29%

from a year ago, and 36% behind the ve year average. 10% of the corn has emerged, up from 6% the previous week, 15% behind a year ago, and 19% behind the ve year average. Checking cotton, 26% has been planted, up 8% from the previous week, 8% behind a year ago, and 6% behind the ve year average. Also, 9% of U.S. soybeans are in the ground, up 3% from the previous week, 23% behind a year ago, and 20% below the ve year average. Cheese prices slipped following Mother’s Day. CME block Cheddar fell to $1.6575 per pound Wednesday but closed Friday at $1.6725, down threequarter cents on the week but 9 cents above a year ago. The barrels fell to $1.60 Tuesday but closed Friday at $1.6250, down 8 1/2-cents and 9 1/4-cents above a year ago. 19 cars of block sold on the week and 43 of barrel, highest total since late October 2018. FC Stone states in its May 17 Early Morning Update that “The cheese market has found some level of equilibrium in the mid/low-$1.60s for the time being.” Traders await the May 20 April Milk Production report which could show further decline in U.S. milk output and await the May 21 Global Dairy Trade auction. Midwest cheese markets felt “slippery” this week, according to Dairy Market News. Recent demand reports have been mixed to bullish but this week more cheesemakers suggested lower sales numbers. Producers report expectations are generally being met, while some predict the slowdown to last upwards of a month. “The reported spot milk range was $2 under to $2 over. Comparing the week 20 averages to past years is telling of the current downtrend in milk supplies,” says DMN. “Last year during week 20, the average was $3 under, while in 2017 spot milk prices averaged $4.50 under Class, with discounts $6 under. All said, cheese plant schedules are steady with available milk supplies.” The western cheese market is strong and national inquiries are steady to more solid. Some players report having a challenge with transnational sales as they need more export assistance. Retail orders are good as stores replenish post-holiday stocks. Cheese output is mostly at despite a bit of increase in the Class III price noted at some localities but cheese supplies are plentiful. Cooperatives Working Together granted just 4 offers of export assistance this week to members to help capture sales of 1.627 million pounds of whole milk powder. The product will go to customers in Asia and South America through July and raised CWT’s 2019 exports to 27.14 million pounds of Americantype and Swiss cheeses, 3.96 million pounds of butter (82% milkfat), 1.97 million pounds of cream cheese, and 25.9 million pounds of whole milk powder. Cash butter climbed to $2.3850 Thursday, highest CME price since August 14, 2018, but it closed Friday at $2.34, unchanged on the week and 4 1/2-cents below a year ago, with 25 cars exchanging hands on the week. Midwestern cream supplies have “slimmed down,” says DMN, but some butter plant managers say they are surprised it is still as available as it is. Others report that cream purchases are becoming rare and are only looking locally. Butter market tones are bullish. Lower overall milk supplies and an increasing value on milkfat have contacts believing they could continue to push up this summer but others believe an increase in imports could rein in those bulls. Western butter demand continues to give a “solid presence,” according to DMN. Some participants Turn to MIELKE | Page 11

ConƟnued from MIELKE | Page 10 forecast prices to move higher still as cream supplies tighten. Contacts say end users are anxious to assure coverage and possibly avoid the risk of higher butter prices later in the year. Spot Grade A nonfat dry milk closed Friday at $1.0475 per pound, down 2 cents on the week but 19 1/2-cents above a year ago, with 4 cars sold on the week. Dry whey inched down three-quarters on Monday and stayed there the rest of the week at 34 cents per pound, 3 cents below a year ago. 7 sales were reported. Woes continue in U.S. uid milk sales. The latest data reports 3.9 billion pounds of packaged uid sales in March, down 4.7% from March 2018. Conventional product sales totaled 3.7 billion pounds, down 4.5%. Organic products, at 202 million, were down 8.1% and represented 5.2% of total sales for the month. Whole milk sales hit 1.2 billion pounds, down 3.6% from a year ago and made up 31.8% of total uid sales in the month. Sales for the three month period totaled 28.8 billion, virtually unchanged from a year ago. Skim milk sales, at 294 million pounds, were down 11.6% and made up just 7.5% of total milk sales. Total packaged uid milk sales for the three month period totaled 11.8 billion pounds, down 2.4% from a year ago. Conventional products year-to-date totaled 11.1 billion pounds, down 2.2%. Organic products, at 631 million pounds, were down 4.5% and represented about 5.4% of total uid milk sales for the period. The continued falling uid milk sales report comes as June Dairy Month approaches and prompted a discussion about it with Hoards Dairyman managing editor Corey Geiger in the May 20 Dairy Radio Now broadcast. I will include most of those comments in my June Dairy Month tribute however as a hors d’oeuvre, I begin by stating that this is June DAIRY month, not fake milk month. A growing number of consumers, primarily millennials, believe that drinking a beverage from a plant is more benecial than what comes from a cow. Geiger countered; “There’s a reason milk is called nature’s most perfect food.” He quoted Lloyd Metzger, of South Dakota State University, who recently spoke to a group of dairy economists and policy advisors in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Metzger credited the casein protein in milk as one of the best and most complete proteins known to man and great for growing muscle mass. But it does something that is perhaps even more important. Metzger says casein protein lifts the calcium and phosphate in milk in suspension. “Calcium and phosphorus are minerals,” Geiger charged. “The casein protein lifts them so that when you drink milk, you also consume the calcium and phosphorus.” He quickly added; “If consumers really knew the whole story, they probably wouldn’t be drinking plant-based beverages because they don’t have the casein protein to lift these minerals, so vital to human health.” Again, I’ll have more in my upcoming June Dairy Month column. In politics; the Trump Administration was called on this week to “correct the inequity in cheese sales opportunities between the U.S. and the European Union, given the EU’s anti-trade practice of abusing geographical indications policies to monopolize generic cheese names as a means to shut out competition.” That was the message in a letter from the chairman of the Consortium for Common Food Names (CCFN) Errico Auricchio, President and Founder of Belgioioso Cheese in Green Bay, Wis. “The U.S. is an extremely protable dairy market for the EU; we must leverage that power in correcting

this deeply frustrating inequity,” Auricchio wrote. “I urge you to utilize all available tools to remedy this situation. Let us at least consider imposing the same restriction on them they do on us: require that they not sell cheeses by these names into our market, as long as we are locked out of theirs.” The U.S. is Europe’s number one export market for cheese but the EU restricts competition from the U.S. in many cheese categories, contributing to a massive $1.6 billion U.S.-EU dairy trade decit, the letter states. And, the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) was called upon to “slap tariffs on dairy shipments from Europe in response to the $11 billion in damage EU Airbus subsidies caused the U.S.,” according to the National Milk Producers Federation President Jim Mulhern, in testimony before a USTR panel this week A NMPF press release stated that “The World Trade Organization recently found that Europe’s large civil aircraft subsidies were against international trade rules and permitted the United States to levy duties on
EU products until Europe comes into compliance.” “We have a unique opportunity to make a big dent in the dairy market access gap with Europe. Including EU cheeses, yogurt, and butter on this list, as USTR has proposed, is entirely warranted, and we would encourage you to add additional EU dairy-related tariff lines,” Mulhern said. Doing so “would bring increased attention to the gross inequities that dene our dairy trading relationship.”

A Snapshot of today’s grain, feed, & dairy markets
3.26
Over the past week Class III prices declined 50% of the recent run up, and as of this writing have rebounded back above previous highs. Class IV prices are trading a slight premium to Class III, as NFDM demand is better than sweet whey. News broke this week that the U.S. has removed tariffs on Mexico and Canada steel and aluminum. This is expected to lead to Mexico removing their retaliatory tariffs against U.S. Dairy products. It also removes one of the obstacles to passing the USMCA trade deal. All commodity markets are seeing increasing price risks and opportunities ramping up on many fronts. Some of these include tariff challenges and resolutions, spring planting issues, currency, and macro risks. In these environments, commodity price volatility is generally the outcome. It is likely that larger price moves will be more common in the months ahead. African Swine Fever continues to decimate hog herds in infected regions. This is having a significant impact on export demand for U.S. produced whey and lactose products, as they are used in starter pig diets. A one penny move in whey impacts Class III values by 5.8 cents. Deferred
Wheat 3.92
contract whey futures traded above 43 cents/lb in the first quarter of 2019 and have since dropped into the low 30’s and rebounded back into the mid 30 cent range. This has had up to a 75 cent/cwt impact on Class III prices in 2019. Export demand continues to struggle somewhat with a strong dollar relative to some of the currencies of major dairy product buyers. This is creating challenges with U.S. exports remaining competitive with other regions on a monetary adjusted basis. Although this is concerning, export demand has held up well. The grain markets are becoming all about the weather. It is amazing how fast fundamentals have shifted from being a heavy supply driven market pressuring prices, to a potentially extremely bullish market due to the possibility of reduced acres and a massive shift in what the supply situation could look like a year from now.

canola meal, a protein supplement and whey. “We meet with our nutritionist every two weeks and go over the rations,” Trina said. The cows are milked twice a day at 3:30 a.m. and 3 p.m. Each milking takes about three hours, Trina said. “My husband does everything on the farm from milking to feeding and everything in between,” she said. “We are currently training our full-time guy to be able to do the same.
We also have two part-time milkers.” The cows are housed in a slotted oor freestall barn with mattresses and composted bedding. The barn is equipped with an automatic scraper. Trina grew up on her uncle’s Jersey dairy farm. And, while she is accustomed to the workings of a dairy farm, she said farming is unpredictable. “Is there such a thing as a normal day on the farm?” Trina said. “Life on a farm is
always full of surprises. From early calvings and broken equipment to playing vet to a sick animal, a day on the farm is never the same. But, some things can’t be missed such as milking at 3:30 a.m., feeding calves, checking for calvings, breeding, breakfast, feeding cows and cleaning pens – just to start over with the 3 p.m. milking.” Turn to GRAHAMS | Page 15

The Grahams’ cows are housed in a sloĆŠed ďƒ&#x;oor freestall barn with maĆŠresses and composted bedding. The barn is equipped with an automaĆ&#x;c scraper. The Grahams’ dairy farm is located in the Fraser Valley, an area inundated with 280 dairy farms and located near the United States-Canada border. The average herd size in British Columbia is 140 cows while the average for Canada is 85 cows, Trina said. Equipment dealers and services for dairy in the area are plentiful, and the most common crops dotting the landscape are corn and orchard grass. The area is also known for its vegetable and berry production. The Grahams breed for pounds of fat and productive life. “We focus on component production and health traits,â€? Trina said. “We avoid high type cows because we ďƒžnd they don’t work well in our freestall barn.â€? The Canadian dairy industry operates on a milk-quota system, and, as such, the Grahams buy their quota and are required to ship that amount of milk. “We get penalized for over-shipping [milk],â€? Trina said. “We have a fairly stable milk price but have higher costs to expand because of the quota.â€? All milk produced in British Columbia goes through the British Columbia Milk Board, and it delegates the amount of milk processors receive. “Our milk is used for a variety of dairy products from ďƒ&#x;uid milk to cheese and of course ice cream,â€? Trina said. While milk price varies across provinces, Trina said 85% of their milk check comes from butterfat content and the remainder on protein and other sol-
ids.
“Our farm, with careful money management, has been able to support our family thus far,â€? Trina said. “We have recently started a side business with VIO Lifestyles for some extra spending money.â€? VIO Lifestyles is a travel rewards company that allows the Grahams to work from home. Trina said the inďƒ&#x;ated cost of land in the area makes farming a challenge. “It is becoming increasingly difďƒžcult to ďƒžnd enough land to produce the amount of feed we need for our cows,â€? she said. “Land is well over $100,000 per acre and rental rates keep going up as well.â€? Trina also noted the uncertainty of the Canadian dairy industry due to trade. However, the Grahams hope to weather any pending woes in the dairy climate. “We plan to continue growing our farm,â€? Trina said. “We would love to go to three times a day milking, buy more quota and cows, and continue sustainably farming so that our kids can one day take over the farm.â€? In the meantime, as retirement is far from the horizon, the Grahams continue to be appreciative for their way of life. “We love that we get to spend each and every day with our loved ones and teach them to be stewards of the Earth God has blessed us with,â€? Trina said. “Every single day is different. We are constantly learning. Life on the farm is anything but boring.â€?

ConƟnued from BORSTS | Page 16 Heather, works off the farm at the Mayo Clinic. Two of Matt and Julie’s other sons, Jeff and Jake, also work in the dairy industry. Their youngest, Luke, is a junior in high school and ts in chores around school and extra curricular activities. Larry’s wife, Luann, works off the farm as does their son, Adam. Their other son, Aaron, helps at the farm when he is able. Chores started at about 5 a.m. May 8 with Matt and Kevin in the parlor while Kyle fed calves, and Larry fed youngstock and dry cows. Cows are milked in a double-10 herringbone parlor and housed in an attached freestall barn. “It has held up good,” Matt said. The family built the facility in 1993. “We had been running three groups through the old [tiestall] barn,” Matt said about the setup before the parlor. “That wasn’t working any-
more.” At the time, parlors were only starting to pop up along the countryside in the area and parallel parlors were not popular yet, Matt said. “And, I only knew of a few freestall barns especially the open air types,” he said. Matt returned to the dairy in 1986 after graduating from the University of Minnesota. He joined his parents, Elbert and Margaret, along with Larry, who started working fulltime on the farm in 1981 after graduating high school. Kevin returned to the dairy in 2011 after graduating from the University of Minnesota. “I take pride in carrying on the family legacy,” Kevin said. Kyle graduated from the University of Wisconsin-River Falls and then worked in the agronomy eld before starting his full-time dairying career in December 2017. “It helps that each of us has our own thing to be in charge
of,” Kevin said. Larry takes care of a large portion of feeding the youngstock and cows, Matt takes care of employees and the milking parlor, Kevin is in charge of herd health, and Kyle focuses on calves and helping with crops. “I like the challenge of it,” Larry said about what he likes about farming. “There’s something different everyday.” Plus, he has been able to work with family. “It’s been good,” Larry said. “Seeing young people have interest in the dairy helps keep you going.” After Kyle was done with calves and scraping the freestall barn, he took Kevin’s place in the parlor so Kevin could check the freestall barn before feeding the total mixed ration to the milking herd. The ration includes corn silage, haylage, earlage, dry corn and a premix. This is the third year the Borsts are using earlage with varied success. “It’s easier to put up than high moisture corn,” Kevin said. Because of the recent dairy economy, Kevin and Larry said they have made tweaks to their rations to save a little on cost, including making sure refusals

are being used and taking a few items out of the premix. “We review every penny we are spending,” Kevin said. Another cost-saving measure has been using more beef semen while breeding the herd. This reduces their heifer inventory and their feed bill. “We have too many heifers,” Kevin said. Now, the Borsts have been targeting a certain number of heifers born per month but avoid calving during the cold in late January and February. Their breeding philosophy focuses on high net merit, good components and daughter pregnancy rate. Most recently to save on cost, the Borsts decided not to hire someone for a full-time Turn to BORSTS | Page 19

ConƟnued from BORSTS | Page 18 position when a long-term employee left for another opportunity. “We started doing more of the work ourselves to try to cut back on labor,” Matt said. “That’s why it’s been really nice having Kyle back home.” After normal morning chores were nished, the Borsts sorted cows that needed their hooves trimmed. Bobby and Damon Hanson from Chateld, Minn., come to the farm every other week to work on cows that are midlactation or before dryoff. On May 8, they were trimming a group of 27 cows. “It’s nice that they can come so often,” Lindsey said. “It helps the lame cows be seen sooner.” Before getting into the elds, the Borsts took a short break for breakfast around 9:45 a.m. Then they prepared the planter, tractors and other equipment and started planting soybeans with an end goal of 160 acres. They nished planting their corn the night before. Of their 1,100 total acres, 550 are corn with 175 of it being BMR. They
also plant sweet corn and raise alfalfa. “We’ve done pretty well with planting considering how much rain our area has gotten,” Kevin said. Many other farmers in the area have been held up for days at a time after several drenching rain events. “It feels like rain just misses us or only gives us a few tenths, and we only need to take short break,” Kevin said. Throughout the late morning and into the afternoon, the four Borsts switched in and out of the tractors – one planting soybeans and the other using the eld cultivator – in between meeting with the nutritionist along with other chores and projects. During Kyle’s rounds with the 12-row planter, he had to steer around a few troublesome spots in one particularly wet eld; however, he let the GPS system take the wheel the rest of the time. That is when Kyle could turn up the radio on the Twins game. “I like baseball,” Kyle said. Back at the dairy site, Luke mixed

The high school junior is involved in 4-H and is an ofcer for his local FFA chapter. At the recent state FFA convention, Luke earned his state degree. He is also a part of his school’s soccer team and needed to nish chores before he had to leave at 5 p.m. for his game. Two of the four part-time milkers came for evening chores. The Borsts have always tried to hire high school students to take care of evening milking so they can be done with chores earlier in the evening. It has allowed them extra time in the eld or has given them the ability to attend or watch extra curricular activities. “Dad and Larry could make it to

It was no different May 8 when Matt hustled to get calf chores done so he and Julie and could make the drive to Winona to watch Luke play soccer. The Dover-Eyota Eagles defeated the Winona Winhawks 5-1. Luke, a center mideld, had one goal and one assist. The employees nished milking and eldwork wrapped up that evening around 9:30 with about 80 acres of soybean planted. As the sun set on the Borsts’ dairy, the family was thankful to have a nice day for being in the eld and were hopeful the rain would hold off in order to allow them to nish their eldwork in the coming days.

Everything is very wet. We haven’t gotten any of our corn or soybeans planted. We need to haul ma- RAINFALL nure first and soils TOTALS have just been too Last 10 soggy for that. There Days are a few guys in our neighborhood who have managed to plant some corn on 2” the hilltops. I would estimate that 5 – 10% of the corn in this area is planted. The Since April 14 5.3” soil is still very cold. Our roads are very soft and are getting ripped up.
1,000 cows, 1,500 acres The wet weather has made it hard to get in the field for too long. We have a custom guy do our planting who planted his own acres first. However, RAINFALL once the weather breaks, he is ready to get in our TOTALS Last 2 fields. We are optimistic Weeks that will be tomorrow (5/23). We have 650 acres to plant, using all silage variety. We are looking forward to is our hay harvest. Potential harvest dates are about one week away (starting 5/29). If we are still plant- Since April 14 5” ing corn at that time, we will stop in order to harvest the alfalfa. We value and rely on high quality forage for feed so it’s a priority for us to harvest on time.

200 cows, 800 acres I was spreading fertilizer and got stuck three times on hay fields. It’s just that wet. We hauled some more manure and RAINFALL have been moving cattle TOTALS around. There hasn’t been Last 2 any planting done around weeks here. The alfalfa and clover have been really slow. The grass is growing on the better fields, but the legumes are holding back. We want to interseed red clover into our pasture when we get a chance. Since April 14 2.9” We haven’t got much rain but it just hasn’t dried up. On Sunday (May 19) we had two inches of snow.

210 cows, 400 acres We finished oats may 14 and finished the liquid manure on the same day. Last week a lot of guys made progress on their corn RAINFALL planting. I would say 75% TOTALS of the corn is in, it’s really Last 2 patchy, though. The corn I Weeks planted two weeks ago is up. There are some guys that planted soybeans because they were waiting for fertilizer for the corn. The oats and alfalfa look good. We keep hoping for sunshine so we can get Since April 14 the rest of the corn plant6.2” ed. Yesterday (May 20) we had some frost on the rooftops. We are preparing our haying equipment.

I planted some oats last Wednesday and Thursday (May 1516) and on Friday I worked some ground RAINFALL for new seeding TOTALS Last 2 alfalfa. I was hoping Weeks to do that Saturday then the rain came. I got some 97-day corn that I will trade 4.3” for lower maturity preferably 90-92 day corn. I think that short maturity corn Since April 14 6.8” will be in demand. We also picked the rocks where the hay will be last week.

50 cows, 200 acres In our area the potatoes are in and a lot of corn has been planted. I saw the first corn coming up already, and the oats are doing well, too. Our winter rye is close to RAINFALL harvest. Hay is still a ways TOTALS away yet. We had three Last 2 mornings this past week Weeks with a little frost. Some of the alfalfa fields look good and others are terrible. I’m counting the last few bales of hay and hope we can cut before we run out. Shortage of forages is going to be an issue for a Since April 14 lot of people this year and 3.2” many are using forage oats, sorghums, millet and other forages to fill some bunkers. We need some heat to get stuff growing.
It’s been rainy, cloudy and cold. We got our bedding pack hauled, but it’s been too wet and cold to start RAINFALL planting. There are TOTALS Last 2 some people around here that have gotten Weeks some corn in during the two nice, dry days we had last week, but 1.4” otherwise everything is at a stand-still. I’m hoping maybe I can Since April 14 get some corn in the 4.8” end of this week. I have started doing some greenchopping, and our pasture grass is growing really well.
We had about an inch and a half of the total 2.25” rain over the weekend, and3”we even got a dusting of snow. We’ve picked RAINFALL up some additional TOTALS Last 2 land recently, so today Weeks (May 21) I’m working on plowing that. I’ve got about 85 acres out of 450 acres of corn planted, but looking 2.3” at the weather for this weekend, I’m hopeful to get it finished up. My Since April 14 hay actually seems like 5” it is coming back some, about half of it might be okay. I’ll still end up tilling up about half of it and putting corn in that.
94 cows, 295 acres We’ve got just over one hundred acres of corn in and most tillage done. RAINFALL We’re hauling manure, so TOTALS we’ll be ready to get the Last 2 rest in when the weather Weeks gets better. We’ve got all our corn fodder bales made. There are a couple of fields we’re going to turn over into corn, but the grass has grown enough we’re going to cut that before we plant Since April 14 to get extra feed. The 3.5” hay isn’t growing like it should because it’s not warm enough. We hope to be able to start first crop after we get the corn in. There are a few guys that have cut hay even though it’s not very tall just because they are running out of feed.

Before the weekend rain came, we got about half of the liquid manure and all of the dry manure hauled. We got ten acres of new RAINFALL no-till seeding done, and TOTALS that is starting to come Last 2 up. We have discovered Weeks that our pasture winterkilled, so we are going to rip that up and put corn in, and put in sorghum-sudangrass somewhere for pasture. The perennial rye grass and festulolium seemed Since April 14 8.5” to die. As soon as it dries up again we’ll be ready to plant corn and do some more seeding. The grass hay fields look phenomenal.

I’ve got 450 acres of corn in and another 550 to go, which is pretty average for things around here. RAINFALL I don’t have any corn TOTALS Last 2 up yet, but I’ve seen some just coming Weeks through in the area. We’re looking to cut hay as soon as 3.5” we can get brave enough, that we’ll have a couple of Since April 14 dry days. The looks 7” decent, and it would be nice to get some heat, I think it would really shoot up.

We had three days that we could run in our area last week. We did some tillage, planted some corn and applied some fertilizer RAINFALL TOTALS and chemical. We have Last 2 about 15% of our corn in Weeks and in the area about 30% is planted. Maybe 10% of the soybeans are in. The alfalfa looks rough. The weeds are coming faster than the alfalfa on the older stands. Everything is pretty wet. We are Since April 14 planting in less than ideal 8.5” conditions when we go. Thirty miles North of here near Dyersville and Dubuque they are having better luck and have done more in the fields.
We’re 1/3 done with corn. We worked the field through the night and planted May 16. We had one good day otherwise we keep getting little RAINFALL rains that prevent us from TOTALS doing anything. We did Last 2 get the manure pumped Weeks and finished that May 16. The is probably 1/4 of the corn in the area. I have a neighbor that is almost done and another that hasn’t started. If we get some warm weather the alfalfa will take off. I’ve Since April 14 been working on haying 4.25” equipment in the shop. I figure when we finish planting we’ll be cutting. Twenty miles south the corn is out of the ground.

Heat the oven to 350 degrees. In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Stir to combine. Press the crust on the bottom of buttered 9- by 13-inch pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 6-8 minutes until golden. Remove from the oven and cool completely. To make the filling, melt the white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl for one minute, stir, then 20-30 seconds, stirring after each. Stir until smooth. Set aside to cool. In a grease-free bowl, add the chilled heavy cream and whip until firm peaks form. In another bowl, add the cream cheese and yogurt and beat until combined. Stir in the melted white chocolate. With a spatula, fold in the whipped heavy cream. Spoon half of the cheesecake filling over the crust. Arrange the fresh raspberries evenly over the cheesecake filling, gently pressing them in. Spoon the remaining cheesecake filling over the raspberries and with a spatula or the back of a spoon, smooth the top. Cover the cheesecake with plastic wrap and chill for a couple of hours in the refrigerator. Cut into bars. Optional, melt one more ounce of white chocolate and drizzle over the cheesecake bars and decorate with a fresh raspberry.

JOURNAL DAIRY SCIENCE STUDIES –
MASTITIS IS COSTING YOU
The May issue of the JDS includes several published studies documenting the severity of mastitis on typical dairy farms. One study states: “Subclinical mastitis continues to be one of the most expensive diseases for the dairy sector because it greatly affects milk production and quality.” The data from 15 herds shows only about 30% of the cows were found to be uninfected with around 50% infected with one or more minor pathogens and about 20% infected with one or more major pathogens. Check your recent DHI data to see what percent have an SCC over 150K to determine how many subclinical cases you have. THE TIME TO ACT IS NOW. You know what happened to you last summer. Upgrade the pulsation in your facility now and get in front of the problem. CoPulsation™ is the only pulsation system to prevent the forcible shoving of bacteria up the teat.
