Delaware Farm Bureau Leader May Jun 2015

Page 1


It was a beautiful, summer-like morning May 30th in Middletown, DE. Runners of all ages gathered at Appoquinimink High School for the Third Annual 5K Milk Run & Walk to benefit The Ministry of Caring, Inc. and new this year, The Neighborhood House, Inc. of Middletown. The New Castle County Farm Bureau and Delaware Farm Bureau Foundation once again partnered to raise money

for the MOC’s “Milk for Children Fund” and thanks to great success in the past years, was able to add a second beneficiary; The Neighborhood House, Inc. of Middletown.

The event aims to raise funds to purchase milk for children and adults in need. It costs approximately $10,000 per year to supply milk to all of the Ministry of Caring dining rooms and four shelters for children. The Ministry

of Caring’s Emmanuel Dining Room servedover 190,000 meals last year, with more than 12,000 of those meals being served to children — an increase from 2013. Additionally, The Neighborhood House assists and guides underprivileged Delawareans and specializes in Housing Counseling, Family Services and Youth Development.

The 5K Milk Run also serves as a bridge to National Dairy Month, which

is held every June. In 1937, it began as National Milk Month, as a means for promoting drinking milk. It was later changed to National Dairy Month.

For the third year in a row, the 148th General Assembly proclaimed June 2015 as Dairy Month in Delaware while honoring Delaware’s farm creameries and dairy farmers. Senate Resolution No. 28 highlighted several facts about the dairy industry including that only 13.5 percent of girls and 36.3 percent of boys age 12 to 19 in the United States get the recommended daily amount (RDA) of calcium.

Once again this year Senator Sokola led the race on his bicycle. Over 200 runners and walkers finished the race in hopes of winning one of the prized antique milk bottle trophies. Sixteenyear-old Drew Harris of Harrington, DE was the overall race and male winner with a time of 18:43. Trisha MacIntyre of Middletown, DE came in eighth overall and was the first female to cross the finish line with a time of 20:50.

6 Dangerous Driving Habits to Avoid

When drivers are negligent, they can cause accidents and claim lives. But even everyday habits can have the same effect. TheInsurance Institute for Highway Safetyestimates over 32,000 auto accident deaths occurred in the United States in 2013. Let’s look at some all-too-common habits that can cause auto accidents and tips for avoiding them.

1. Driving Under the Influence

Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol is the leading cause of auto fatalities in the U.S. A study by the Centers for Disease Control blamed alcohol for about 30 percent of trafficrelated deaths in 2012. Alcohol isn’t the only substance that can impair drivers: In a 2013 study, nearly 10 million drivers reported driving under the influence of illicit drugs.

Alcohol and drugs impair reasoning and reflexes, which is why many drunk drivers (or “buzzed drivers”) overestimate their ability to drive safely or believe they won’t get caught. Planning ahead can save lives. Take a cab or designate a sober driver, and make sure

your friends do the same.

2.Distracted Driving Distracted driving is any activity that involves drivers looking away from the road — including talking, eating and adjusting the radio — but smartphones have taken distracted driving to a new level. Cell phone distraction isresponsiblefor up to one in four car crashes in the U.S.

Cell phone use poses a special threat because it involves high-attention activities like texting, surfing the internet, and eventaking selfies while driving. Using cell phones while driving is so pervasive (and deadly) that drivers of all ages arepledgingto not text and drive.

3. Speeding

Speeding has been a consistent factor in motor vehicle crashes and fatalities for decades. Although the number of speeding-related fatalities has

dropped over the years with tighter restrictions and safer vehicles, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safe tyreportedthat speeding was a factor in 29 percent of traffic fatalities in 2013. Driving faster than the posted speed limit increases the chances of collision on its own, but often occurs with other risky behavior, such as distracted driving, aggressive driving (or “road rage”) and even drunk driving.

4. Driving Without a Seatbelt

Wearing a seatbelt can dramatically reduce or prevent injuries, yet many drivers don’t consistently wear one. According to theCDC, seatbelts can reduce serious crash-related injuries and deaths by about half.

Not wearing a seatbelt is particularly common in young people (ages 18-34), who are less likely to wear one than other age groups. Furthermore, men are 10 percent less likely than women to wear seatbelts. Whether you’re going on a road trip or going around the corner, wearing a seatbelt is one of the easiest ways to keep safe on the road.

5. Driving While Tired

According to theNHTSA, more than 83,000 crashes, and over 1,000 fatalities a year are the result of drowsy

driving. Driving while tired has similar effects as drunk driving: slower reaction times, decreased awareness and impaired decision-making.

Drowsy driving also includes falling asleep behind the wheel, which can be fatal even if it only lasts a few seconds. Commercial drivers and young drivers (ages 16-25) aremore likelyto drive tired. Drinking coffee, listening to music or opening a window can help energize drivers; so can pulling over to a safe area and taking a short nap.

6. Driving in Bad Weather

Snow, rain, sleet — bad weather conditions can affect even the most careful drivers. TheFederal Highway Administrationestimates that 23 percent of crashes are related to weather and result in 6,250 deaths a year. Wet pavement is the leading cause (74 percent), followed by rain (46 percent) and snow/sleet (15 percent).

When driving in inclement weather, make sure your tires have adequate traction, your headlights are working and you use chains or snow tires in the winter. One of the easiest ways to stay safe in bad weather is to simply slow down.

On Wednesday, May 6, the Delaware Farm Bureau sponsored Ice Cream Day at Legislative Hall in Dover.

Although Ice Cream Day normally kicks off Delaware Dairy Month in June, this year Legislators enjoyed the cold treat a month early, while signing the resolution designating June as Dairy Month in Delaware. This is the third year in a row the Delaware General Assembly designated June as Dairy Month.

Peach and Vanilla ice cream from Woodside Farm Creamery in Hockessin, DE was served to legislators, staff and visitors at Legislative Hall.

A big thank you to Jim Mitchell and Woodside Farm Creamery for donating ice cream and helping scoop it up for our legislators!

Delaware Farm Bureau continues to support the permanent funding for the Delaware Agricultural Land Foundation Program, as mentioned in our last publication. More than 116,000 acres of farmland have been permanently protected in Delaware since 1991. This program is designed to protect open space while preserving farmland.

Many now know that funding for this program has been reduced substantially over the past few years regardless of the 2005, S. B. 229 sponsored by Senator Nancy Cook and Representative Pam Thornburg. This Senate Bill created an annual earmark of $10 million in Realty Transfer Tax to fund the program.

Some mistakenly believe the General Assembly has not followed the law by altering the amount of funding; however, this is untrue. Delaware Supreme Court cases recognize each General Assembly has the authority to exercise its legislative judgement — including how much funding is appropriated annually to the Delaware Agricultural Land Foundation Program. Only a constitutional amendment passed by two General Assemblies could ensure the full $10 million to fund the program annually.

Representative Dave Wilson introduced H.B. 124 to accomplish this goal. H.B 124 was voted out of the House Agriculture Committee in May. The Speaker of the House may or may not place the legislation on a House Agenda for consideration this year. If not, the bill will remain active through 2016.

Current Delaware Farm Bureau policy clearly supports Representative Wilson’s legislation. Please Support Delaware farm families by contacting yourState Senator and Representative and ask them to support allocating the full $10 million to fund the program this year and support H.B.124, guaranteeing $10 million will be allocated annually to fund the Delaware Agricultural Land Foundation Program.

Full funding of this program will ensure agriculture remains the number one industry in our state.

June is Dairy Month In Delaware!

For over 75 years, we have celebrated dairy and all of its goodness during June. What started as National Milk Month in 1937 to promote milk consumption and stabilize the dairy demand has turned into a month-long celebration and tradition that acknowledges the dairy industry’s contributions to the United States and around the world. The National Dairy Council started promoting the cause in 1939, changing the name to National Dairy Month.

Dairy has played an important role in America’s history since before the Revolutionary War, but it was not until the early 1900s that the U.S. dairy industry began to change dramatically.

21st

Annual

Scientific advances and processes — such as pasteurization and development of the centrifugal separator that removes milkfat and allows the manufacturing of more dairy products — helped change the industry for the better. When it comes to dairy products, our country has a rich history, making it easy to celebrate such a versatile product all month long!

In 1983 the General Assembly designated Milk as the State Beverage and beginning in 2013, officially declared June “Delaware Dairy Month” as a way to highlight the importance of Delaware dairies to the agriculture industry here in the first state, and to honor our local farm creameries and dairy farmers.

Whether you’re enjoying an ice cream cone on a warm summer night, or yogurt with your breakfast you are supporting our country’s and state’s dairy farmers and getting many nutritional benefits. Studies have demonstrated the positive role milk plays in children’s development.

Consuming low-fat and fat-free milk and dairy products also provides important protein for adults, reduces the risk of bone disease and fractures, and may help reduce the risk of getting cavities.

Dairy Facts:

 Only 13.5 percent of girls and 36.3 percent of boys age 12 to 19 in the United States get the recommended daily amount of calcium, placing them at serious risk for osteoporosis and other bone diseases;

 Total milk production in Delaware for 2012 was 92 million pounds, a two percent increase from the previous year;

 Milk sales rank fifth in agricultural receipts and at the top in the income of all livestock products, except poultry;

 Delaware has seven creameries and 26 dairy farms;

 It takes 12 pounds of whole milk to make one gallon of ice cream; and

 Ninety-eight percent of dairy farms in the United States are familyowned.

School’s Out! Summer’s In!

Finally! What we have all been waiting for — sweet summertime! The kids are out of school, the family vacation has been planned (did you use your Farm Bureau Benefits?), beach days, pool days and much more.

But are you still looking for more things to do this summer that will keep your little ones gears turning? Try some of these fun ideas that will help teach your kids where their food comes from and will keep them learning outside of their classroom!

Using toilet or paper towel rolls cover tubes in peanut butter and then roll in bird seed you purchased from your local feed store. Attach string, running through the center of the roll, making sure the string is long enough to hang from branches in your backyard!

1 small clean coffee can

1 large clean coffee can (ours held 3x the amount of the small one)

1 cup of milk

1 cup of half and half

1/2 cup of sugar

1/2 tsp vanilla

1 1/3 to 1 1/2 cups of ice cream salt crushed ice duct tape

 Combine the milk, half and half, sugar and vanilla in the smaller coffee can. Put the top on and secure with duct tape. Stick the smaller can inside the larger can and fill around it with crushed ice.

 Add 2/3-3/4 cup of rock salt depending on how much ice you can fit in there — 3/4 cup if it’s totally full, less if you have trouble getting the ice in.

 Put the lid on the larger coffee can and tape it shut with duct tape. Then roll the coffee can back and forth for 10 minutes.

 Open up the top and drain out the water and ice. Wipe off the top of the smaller coffee can to make sure none of the salty water gets in; rock salt is not safe to eat.

 Wash your hands and then use a spoon to scrap the insides of the coffee can where the ice cream has started to solidify. Put the top back on and add more ice and salt. Roll again for another 5-10 minutes.

 Open everything up again (making sure no salt water gets inside) and you’ll see the ice cream! It has more of an icy-soft consistency than other types of ice cream and melts quickly in the sun. If you aren’t going to eat it right away stick it in the freezer until you are ready.

Regrow Your Groceries!

Get your kids helping in the kitchen and save a couple pennies too! Did you know onions, sweet potatoes, lettuce, celery and pineapple are just a few of the things that can be regrown from scraps?

Once you are done with them simply place the root end in a jar of water and it will begin to regrow within just a few days. Just make sure to replace the water with fresh as need be. Place in a sunny window and spray with water 1-2 times a week to keep the top of the plant moist.

Remember to check out our Pinterest @ Delaware Farm Bureau for more great ideas to keep your kids busy this summer!

We know that “putting your feet up” means something entirely different to a farmer. It doesn’t mean a long vacation—it means taking a short break on the back of a truck.

We know how valuable your time is. That’s why we’re happy to come to you— in the field, in the barn, in your kitchen.

Call us today and tell us when you can break for a visit.

Applications for Women’s ‘Communications Boot Camp’ Now Open

The American Farm Bureau Federation is now accepting applications for the 2015 Women’s Communications Boot Camp, set for Oct. 13-16 in Washington, D.C.

The intensive training is open to all women who are Farm Bureau members. The program focuses on enhancing communication and leadership skills within the agriculture industry, and includes targeted training in the areas of public speaking, media relations, messaging and advocacy.

Sherry Saylor, an Arizona row crop farmer who chairs the American Farm Bureau Women’s Leadership Committee, said participants gain tremendous confidence in using communication tools to address agricultural topics.

“It is so important for those of us in agriculture to be transparent about what we do to produce food,” Saylor said.

Fifteen women will be selected to participate in this year’s program, which is sponsored by the AFBWLC. Applications are available online through state Farm Bureaus. The deadline for submissions is Tuesday, June 30. All applicants will be notified of their status by July 31.

the AG AGENDA

PlantingtheSeedsforSmart CorporatePolicy

These days it seems as much policy comes from the corporate boardroom as from Congress. Some corporate directors are hurriedly bowing to pressure not from their customers, but from vocal activists. The result is corporate policies that forbid farmers and ranchers from using tools to maximize production, protect the environment or care for animals.

Smart companies listen to their customers — and their suppliers. They collect all the facts before making decisions, rather than just responding to whoever is complaining the loudest.

Through our corporate advocacy program, Farm Bureau is working to help companies understand the reasons why farmers and ranchers use certain production methods, and how blanket prohibitions can harm farm profitability and therefore sustainability, as well as the reliability and even the safety of our food supply.

We don’t expect large corporations — even the ones that make their living selling food — to be experts in what it takes to run a farm every day. That’s our job.

Farmers and ranchers are committed to providing customers what they need and want. But companies need to better understand how we keep store shelves and dinner tables full, and what it takes to do so while protecting the environment and keeping animals healthy.

Real corporate responsibility begins with listening to the people on the ground. Companies need to hear from farmers and ranchers on how policies could affect our ability to grow affordable food.

There are companies that are going against the flow and looking beyond the trendy rhetoric. Kellogg’s is a good example. They are providing a variety of options for consumers, not insulting their intelligence with simplistic, cartoonish marketing campaigns. They are stepping up to the challenge of explaining why these issues aren’t as simple as one production method being bad and another being good.

That’s a bit more challenging than jumping on the latest “all natural” bandwagon, but consumers should understand how the application of science and technology to farming allows us to grow more food with less fuel, water and land and cultivate crops that withstand drought, require little-to-no pesticide and benefit the soil. They need to know that banning modern

farming methods means throwing away those benefits.

Farm Bureau is reaching out and recognizing those companies for their responsible decision-making on agricultural practices. And we are letting companies know that we and, more importantly, the men and women who actually produce our food are a source of information for them. Farmers and ranchers make hard choices each day — not based on what is popular at the moment, but on what is good for their families, land and animals.

Every food company has a responsibility to provide safe and healthful products. We bring them the information and insight they need to be responsible partners in feeding our growing population.

Make Safe Happen

Nationwide has been implementing safety programs since 1935 when they began educating the public about highway safety. In 1954, they published the brochure “Your Child’s Safety” in response to preventable accidents being the number one cause of childhood deaths.

Years later, your child’s safety is still one of Nationwide’s main concerns. In 2014, they launched the Make Safe Happen Campaign gathering safety experts and stakeholders working in child injury prevention, to bring information and peace of mind to parents of young children.

Every year, 50 percent of preventable accidents happen in or around the

home. In an effort to educate parents and caregivers, you can now “Take Safe with You,” with Nationwide’s Make Safe Happen App. The app is owned by Nationwide Children’s Hospital and developed by the safety experts in their Center for Injury Research and Policy. Make your home safer with roomto-room safety checklists and links to recommended products. You can also create to-do lists, set reminders and track your progress! For more information or to download the app, visit www.makesafehappen.com today.

AFBF Seeks Action on Trade

America’s farmers and ranchers need access to open markets around the world to boost the economy here at home. The American Farm Bureau Federation called on the House on June 2 to protect the future of U.S.

agricultural trade by passing the Bipartisan Congressional Trade Priorities and Accountability Act of 2015, H.R. 1314.

“We lead the world in agricultural exports but will soon give up customers and potential markets without the trade promotion authority needed to secure important new trade agreements,” American Farm Bureau President Bob Stallman said.

U.S. agricultural exports exceeded $152 billion last year, but stand to fall by $12 billion this year, due in part to the challenges U.S. negotiators are facing in reducing trade barriers. TPA gives our negotiators the leverage they need to resolve trade conflicts, break down barriers to U.S. products and open new markets around the world. The need for this tool is particularly critical now to break through logjams in both the Trans-Pacific Partnership and Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership negotiations.

Foreign governments are reluctant to work out the tough trade issues with the U.S. when it’s possible for Congress to change details at the final hour and send negotiators back to the drawing board. Importantly, TPA ensures Congress retains final approval authority and its critical role in setting objectives and priorities for trade negotiations, but eliminates the possibility of dealkilling amendments.

“With TPA, we send a strong message to our international partners that Continued on page 9

Trade Bills . . .

Continued from page 8 when the United States comes to the negotiating table, we mean business,” Stallman said. “Without TPA, we risk yielding our global economic leadership to other nations. Farm Bureau urges the House to vote now to pass H.R. 1314 for the future of agriculture.”

Meanwhile on another trade front, Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI), said Sunday that he’s “optimistic” about final passage of President Obama’s failing trade legislation but that Obama must work hard to sway fellow Democrats who helped defeat the measure.

“The president has a lot of work to do within his own party to turn this thing around,” Ryan, chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, told Fox News Sunday

The entire measure failed June 12 when the House defeated a part of the proposal, the Trade Adjustment Assistance bill, which Democrats appeared to want and that extends aid to American workers financially hurt by previous trade deals. The House voted against the legislation, 302-123, even after Obama met with fellow Democrats on Capitol Hill to seek their support.

YF&R Holds Annual Strawberry Festival

The Delaware Farm Bureau Young Farmers & Ranchers held their Sixth Annual Strawberry Festival at Bobola Farm & Florist on Saturday, May 23. The event featured U-pick and prepicked berries along with live music from Captain Mike, bounce house, petting zoo, barrel train rides, face painting and more.

New this year was a Children’s Petal Tractor Pull. Kayden Marvel was the

winner of the pull and was presented a trophy by YF&R Committee Chairman Travis Voshell.

Up next for the Young Farmers & Ranchers will be their 21st Annual Antique Tractor Pull at the Delaware State Fair on Saturday, August 1 at 10 a.m. (Registration at 8 a.m.).

For pull rules and regulations, visit the YF&R section of the Farm Bureau website, www.defb.org.

Willard’s Agronomic Update: Soybeans

The uptake of nutrients for soybeans occurs much differently than corn, primarily during the reproductive stages of growth. Keeping potassium levels adequate for good bloom retention and pod fill is critical. Don’t overlook opportunities to supplement a bean fertility program with this important element. Post sprays on beans with foliar potassium as well as fertigation of liquid potassium through irrigation are both prudent methods to bolster plant potassium levels and help ensure maximum yield potential.

Kids enjoyed activities such as this petting zoo, Saturday May 23, at the YF&R Strawberry Festival held at Bobola Farms in Dover, DE.
