Sparking an interest

Many Ohio ag groups vocal in support for Issue 1

By Sarah Donaldson sarah@farmanddairy.com

As Ohio’s Aug. 8 special election approaches, Ohio agriculture and environmental groups are weighing in on Issue 1, which would make it more difficult to amend the state’s constitution through ballot initiatives.

Farm groups supporting the issue’s passage say it would protect Ohio agriculture and rural communities from special interest groups trying to make changes to Ohio’s constitution, and would help rural communities be more involved in creating policy.

“There are so many uncertainties in agriculture,” said Whittney Bowers, director of state policy and grassroots engagement for the Ohio Farm Bureau Federation, in an interview with Farm and Dairy. “It’s a matter of being proactive vs. playing catch up, having to defend yourself.”

Those in opposition say ending majority rule goes against the principles of democracy.

Wayne Co. children’s home summer farm camp exposes children to ag careers

By Sarah Donaldson sarah@farmanddairy.com

Many children spend a lot of time thinking and talking about what they want to be when they grow up. As they get older, they start to explore careers through schools or activities like 4-H. But a lot of those conversations start around the dinner table, with their families.

The children that the Christian Children’s Home of Ohio works with, however, haven’t all had those opportunities. The Christian Children’s Home of Ohio is a residential treatment center for abused and neglected children.

“The children that we’re dealing with are coming from abuse and neglect, and some of them haven’t had the opportunities that typical kids have,” said David Walker, donor rela-

tions manager for the center. “We want to get them excited about potential careers that they could get involved with.”

That’s why this year, the center is running a summer farm camp to help the children it works with explore agriculture. Wayne County, where the center is located, is the top dairyproducing county in Ohio, and the third largest agricultural economy in the state, according to the county’s economic development council.

“I want to see them walk away with just an understanding of agriculture,” said Forrest Lang, director of the farm camp and instructor at the Ohio State University Agricultural Technical Institute. “Showing them that there are these viable career opportunities to work outside on a daily basis … sparking interest in a potential career route.”

Campers. The center houses as many as 45 children on campus, and also has 13 Christian counseling centers around northeast Ohio. The camp attendees are children who live at the center and children who are treated at the counseling centers. They range in age from 6 to 18.

The camp is funded by a Youth Pathways grant for Careers in Agriculture from the Ohio Farm Bureau Foundation. The grant program aims to get youth interested in careers in agriculture.

When the center and the organizers started planning the details of the program, after getting the grant in February, they were only expecting about 30 or 40 children, Walker said. But by the time the program started in June, there were more than 100 signed up.

“Ultimately if this passes, and Ohioans broadly feel like the legislature is being unresponsive to these issues, it becomes significantly more difficult for Ohioans to take that issue to the ballot,” Chris Tavenor, managing director of democracy policy for the Ohio Environmental Council, told Farm and Dairy Issue 1. The ballot initiative would require proposed amendments to Ohio’s constitution to get at least 60% of the vote to pass. Currently, amendments just need a simple majority. Issue 1 would also require initiative petitions to have signatures from at least 5% of the eligible voters in each county. Currently, initiative petitions only have to have signatures from 44 of Ohio’s 88 counties.

Finally, Issue 1 would take away a 10-day grace period for more signatures to be added to petitions that have been filed if they don’t have enough valid signatures. All in all, it would make it more challenging for ballot initiatives aimed at changing Ohio’s constitution to make it onto ballots, and to pass.

Ag regulations. Several farm groups say changes to regulations around agriculture are often proposed through ballot initiatives. An Ohio Dairy Producers Association release supporting Issue 1 references California’s Prop 12, which requires pork sold in California to come from farms that adhere to its standards on housing for breeding pigs.

“Now that the courts have upheld Prop 12, special interest groups have incentive to work state by state to create new anti-agriculture and anti-business regulations. Ohio is one of 19 states that allow for these direct citizen initiatives,” the release reads.

Sparking an interest

“We were overwhelmed by how many people wanted to do it,” Walker said.

Program. The farm camp includes classroom sessions and visits to farms in the area. Because of the number of children in the program, Lang is conducting four classroom sessions. Children are divided into three different grade levels.

“Really the only challenge is logistics,” Lang said. “As far as the actual classroom and tours, it couldn’t be going better.”

The topics the program is covering include dairy farming, livestock

farming, beekeeping and technology in agriculture.

For the classroom sessions, Lang used some of the resources and information that the Ohio Farm Bureau had available to make tools like virtual presentations that children can click through to learn about different topics. One of the goals for Lang and the Christian Children’s Home of Ohio was to put together tools that other organizations can use for their own programs.

“We’re not trying to reinvent the wheel,” Lang said. “I’m just utilizing a lot of what [the farm bureau has], and repackaging into a template that can be used by someone with an education

background at another organization.” Lang also had the children put together projects about whatever topic they’re the most interested in from the classes, and took the children with the top 15-20 projects to the state fair, “so they can kind of engage in a completely nonclassroom environment with topics of agriculture,” he said. The program will wrap up in the second week of August, leaving some time between the end of the camp and the beginning of the school year. Certified Angus Beef will hold a graduation ceremony for the children at a beef cattle farm at the end of the camp.

“Our goals are to provide a fun and memorable experience,” said Mandy Atterholt, beef community educator for Certified Angus Beef. “We also want them to see where beef comes from.” Farm visits. The children have already visited several farms in the area. The camp includes visits to a dairy farm, a bison farm, Ohio State ATI, the Ohio Beekeepers Association and Certified Angus Beef.

Because of the number of children in the program, farm visits are split up over several days. While the logistics can be a little tricky, the visits themselves have gone smoothly.

“The kids just did so well,” said Carolyn Baer, of Baer Family Dairy Farm. The Marshallville, Ohio farm hosted the children in the program in June. “We let them climb up in the tractors and take pictures, and some of the teenage girls actually got to milk a cow.”

The farm uses robotic milkers to milk 250 cows and has been in the family for 200 years. Baer and her family gave the children tours of their farm that included seeing the robotic milking process, the feeding and manure systems, historic buildings and the calves on the farm.

“We think animals are therapeutic, so we really enjoy taking kids to pet the baby calves and talk to cows,” Baer said.

The children visited each farm in a few different groups over several days. For the visit Certified Angus Beef is hosting at Chippewa Valley Angus Farm, in Wayne County, the organization is planning to show the children around the farm and to hold a wide range of games and activities like bingo, trivia and bale tosses.

“Some education and fun combined is kind of what we’re going for,” Atterholt said.

While the main goals of the program were to introduce children to opportunities in agriculture, the farmers involved believe there’s a lot the children can learn from farm visits even if they aren’t interested in careers in agriculture. As an agriculture teacher, Baer also likes to host field trips and farm visits so children can learn about where food comes from and how farmers take care of their animals and environment responsibly.

“We really like to leave the message that working together is what makes us successful,” she said. (Sarah Donaldson can be reached at sarah@ farmanddairy.com.)

Dairy outlook and management

Chris Zoller and Mike Estadt

Answers from Dairy Excel

Each month, the U.S. Department of Agriculture Economic Research Service publishes the Livestock, Dairy and Poultry Outlook. Each report analyzes the economic impacts of month-to-month changes in USDA’s WASDE reports. This article will review the dairy section of the report and provide management suggestions to consider.

The Dairy Margin Coverage Program was authorized in the 2018 Farm Bill to offer protection to producers when the difference in the national all-milk price and the national average feed price falls below the producer-selected margin. Reduced milk prices and increased feed costs resulted in the margin calculated for the Dairy Margin Coverage program to decline $4.83 in May, $7.68 lower than in May 2022. This is the lowest dairy farm margin so far in 2023.

The Class III milk price is projected at $16.05 per hundredweight because of expected lower prices for cheese and dry whey. This represents a reduction of $.65 from the forecast last month. Class IV and the all-milk price are projected down compared to the previous month’s forecast. Class IV is forecast at $18.20 per hundredweight and the all-milk price for 2023 is at $19.55 per hundredweight.

Unfortunately, price projections for 2024 are expected to drop compared to 2023. The Class III milk price is forecast at $15.95 per hundredweight.

Class IV is expected to be $17.45 and the all-milk price for 2024 is $19.10.

If these forecasts hold true, 2024 will be another challenging year in the dairy business. When dairy farm margins decrease, it means that the profitability of the farm is shrinking and the costs of production may exceed the revenue generated from milk sales. In such situations, dairy farm management needs to take prompt and strategic actions to improve profitability and ensure the sustainability of the operation.

What can you do to prepare?

The following suggestions are modified from an article we wrote a few months ago for the OSU Extension Ohio Ag Manager newsletter. When developing a plan, consider the following suggestions:

Know your cost of production. Decision-making is much easier when this is known.

Review and adjust your budget. Take a close look at your financial situation and revise your budget to align with the projected reduced income.

Identify where costs can be cut without compromising the health of the cows or the quality of the milk. This might be optimizing feed management, improving labor efficiency and exploring energy-saving technologies.

Manage risk effectively. Given the uncertain agricultural market conditions, it’s crucial to have risk management strategies in place. Explore options such as crop insurance, futures and options contracts, or other risk management tools that can provide some protection against price volatility or unexpected events.

Diversify your income streams. Explore opportunities to diversify your income by expanding into complementary agricultural activities or exploring non-farm ventures. For example, you could consider valueadded processing, agritourism or direct marketing to consumers.

Improve operational efficiency. Look for ways to enhance productivity and reduce waste on your farm. Implement efficient farming practices, optimize resource allocation and consider adopting technologies that can streamline operations and reduce costs.

Improve cow health and welfare. Healthy cows are more productive and efficient, leading to better margins.

Focus on proper nutrition, disease prevention and overall cow welfare. Seek additional education. Stay informed about market trends, agricultural policies and technological advancements. Attend workshops, webinars or conferences to learn about best practices and access resources to help you navigate challenging times. Collaborate. Engage with local agricultural organizations, OSU Extension or farmer networks to share knowledge, resources and experiences. Collaborative efforts can help reduce costs through group purchasing, shared equipment or joint marketing initiatives. Explore assistance programs. Stay updated on government programs and initiatives that provide financial assistance or support to farmers during challenging times. Monitor and adapt. Regularly monitor your financial performance, market conditions and emerging trends. Be prepared to adapt your strategies as needed to navigate changing circumstances and take advantage of new opportunities. When planning, we suggest involving family and trusted advisors to help navigate the process of moving your farm forward. Ultimately, dairy farm management should continuously monitor financial performance, adapt to market conditions and be proactive in implementing measures to navigate through periods of reduced margins. Flexibility and innovation are essential qualities in ensuring the long-term success of a dairy farm.

Russian roulette — with missiles, drones and food

By Alan Guebert

The one certainty about the Ukrainian-Russian war is that there is little certainty. Even with Russia’s recent history of aggression, few predicted outright war. Then, when it came, no one predicted Russia would so badly misplay its opening gambit.

And who could have foreseen a former television comedian rallying his out-manned, out-gunned citizenry to meet every bloody challenge and incredibly, reverse the field on the invaders?

Putin’s surprise. Past events suggested that the next big event would also be a surprise but — surprise! — it was just Vladimir Putin being Vladimir Putin: he pulled out of the Black Sea grain deal to keep an estimated 40 million metric tons of 2023 Ukrainian grain from the world’s 600 million hungry.

He then sent missiles to destroy much of Odesa’s export infrastructure to ensure the world received his mad message.

By itself, however, the closing down of “Odesa shipments,” tweeted Andre Sizov, a 27-year veteran of the Black Sea grain trade, “are not a game changer. Ukraine can ship 40+ mmt of grain via other routes.” One of the “other” routes Sizov pointed to July 21 was a Ukrainian “Danube port” on the Black Sea’s northwestern shore.

Then, surprise, Russian drones bombed that port, Reni, too. The July 24 action took guts because the bombed side of the river is Ukraine; the other side Romania, a NATO ally that, had it been hit, would have likely required a military response by the U.S.-led, 31-nation security group.

News of the drones, destruction and export delays lit global grain markets on fire. Corn, the soy complex and wheat went up and

down and then back up. Some of the move’s energy came from continued dryness throughout much of the grain-producing Midwest. Most, however, arrived courtesy of Russia’s attacks on Ukrainian ports.

But Russia, noted Sizov, “has much to lose, too” if Ukraine rises to the challenge — as it has for 17 months now — and retaliates by attacking Russian shipping. Right now, “Russia has almost 50 mmt of wheat to ship” to finance its war. Like the Ukrainian grain, it, too, is waiting for a ride.

Also, any increase in attacks on Russian shipping imperils its economic lifeblood, oil exports. Experts estimate that 43 percent of all exported Russian oil is shipped through the Black Sea, mostly on Greek-flagged tankers. Any move by anyone in that arena carries repercussions — market-wise, political and military — that few want to consider.

Unpopular plan. Five days after the first Putin action, European Union ag ministers met to develop a plan to move the mountain of nowstuck Ukrainian grain through its border-sharing member nations — Poland, Romania, Bulgaria, Hungary and Slovakia — and into key markets in Africa, the Middle East and Asia.

It’s not a new idea — it was used to move some of the 2022 Ukrainian crop into the world market — but it’s not very popular either.

In fact, two months ago, on June 5, the European Commission, the body that oversees EU trade policy, said it would extend its current rule that allowed the five border nations to “restrict Ukrainian grain” flowing through their nations. What’s more, the Commission allowed the same five to outright ban sales of Ukrainian wheat, corn, rapeseed and sunflower seeds in their countries.

Any new deal now will be met with quiet derision, not boisterous unity.

90 years ago this week. The first ton-litter produced in Ohio this year was fed out by Winston Yohe of the Monroe township, Darke County, vocational agriculture department.

50 years ago this week. Some of the junior livestock sold at the Carrollton Fair had a lady auctioneer. She was Miss Bonnie Newell, daughter of Auctioneer Robert Newell, and she got her training at Reppert School of Auctioneering.

25 years ago this week. Ouric Holsteins of Canfield showed the grand champion Holstein at the District 2 Black and White Show July 11 at the Columbiana County Fairgrounds.

“The road and rail routes through neighboring countries have stirred anger from local farmers faced with a glut of Ukrainian grain that has driven down prices and hurt their livelihoods,” ABC News reported July 25.

It’s not great for Ukrainian farmers either. Shipping delays and higher transportation costs mean lower farm prices and smaller profits for the already war-weary group.

In the meantime, unsurprisingly, Russia keeps raising the stakes. When EU ag ministers suggested Ukrainian grain exports might be diverted through Baltic ports in Lithuania, a Russian spokesman said, sure, go ahead and try it.

Be forewarned, he added, “We will continue to counter that.”

What does that mean? The chances are good that not even Vlad the Invader knows, but it’s certain that the threat to global commodity markets is far from over.

Taking a walk on the country side

By Judith Sutherland

There is nothing quite like a town kid coming to the country, especially in the summertime. The lessons learned, on both sides of this fence, may be humorous and luminous, shining a light on two very different ways of looking at the very same thing.

I remember so many times when one of us would invite a kid home for an overnight stay. The question would always come up, “Well, is she going to help with chores?”

It would be one of those moments when the rest of the gang would figuratively be crossing their fingers and toes, in hopes that the answer would be, “Nah, she’s not much interested in barn stuff …”

But, nine times out of 10, those townie friends felt compelled to see what we did with about 90% of our lives, so tagging along to the barn was expected. At least once. And once just might prove to be enough.

The milk cows, ever on alert for rookies in the milking parlor, acted like Nervous Nellies when a town kid helped. It was an experience filled with utter disdain for us all. If this were a script, it would have “bad day” written all over it — in capital letters.

Zippy. I laughed out loud last night when I read, again, Haven Kimmel’s memoir, which everyone should read at least once, titled “A Girl Named Zippy.” Zippy grew up in Indiana in an area so much like my own small hometown that a part of me thinks we are linked in some cosmic way. Zippy was the “town kid” who constantly yearns to spend time on her friend Julie’s farm.

When Julie’s mom stops to get her daughter’s town friend, the first question out of Zippy’s mouth was, “What are we gonna do today?”

Julie shrugs, which could mean a lot of things. Kimmel writes, “It could mean she had 62,000 chores and I

was going to help with every one. It could mean we were going to ride horses or else take her new moped out around the countryside. It could mean her bedroom needed painting and if I didn’t work fast enough she’d give the raised middle-finger punch on the upper arm that left a bruise for days. Or her shrug could mean nothing. It could mean she didn’t know and since we were only going to the best place on the earth, where every single minute of every day was different, and filled with promise, what the heck difference did it make what we were gonna do.”

What they ended up doing was taking a lazy walk “on their own feet” since Julie’s horse was injured from their last big adventure, and suddenly found themselves in a tricky situation, between a bleating calf that thought it was lost, and a mama heifer who saw the two girls as a threat of mythical proportions. The two girls quickly scrambled up a tree, staying there for hours while the mama cow turned into a weapon of mass destruction, pawing at the ground beneath the tree that housed them.

Zippy began believing that she and her friend would have to live in that tree until it was time to slaughter that calf, or until after it made the rounds at the 4-H fair. But what really incensed her most was that they were stuck in a tree with nothing to do while the whole world of a farm was out there, waiting for them to discover it.

Julie’s older brother eventually comes to their rescue, waving and hollering and acting the fool so that the heifer chases him around, allowing the girls to make their escape. They jumped from the tree and took a shortcut through the pig pen, landing in sloppy goo.

When they came out on the other side, Zippy realized she had neither shoes nor socks on her feet. A glance back over her shoulder in search of

her slippery saddle shoes, “And there they were, stuck like bones in a tar pit, sinking. A pig walked over and picked up one of the socks, carried it away like a to-go order,” Kimmel writes.

Lasting impression. Reading all of this makes me wonder what kind of impression our farm left on so many friends over the years.

I recall one girl who nearly passed out when I reached down and picked up a dead runt piglet while the sow screamed in a way that was infinitely worse than fingernails scraping a chalkboard. “WHAT ARE YOU DOING?” Dana yelled over that screeching sound.

“Gonna throw it on the dead spot,” I answered nonchalantly. “You can come with me and see it if you want to.”

I’m not sure what happened next. Dana either passed out or ran away. I just know that when I returned from the back lot, she was nowhere to be found.

The next time she spent the night, she was too busy to help with chores. Imagine that!

Metals plant to pay $2.6M for air pollution in Beverly, Ohio

WASHINGTON — Globe Metallurgical, Inc. agreed to a consent decree that would require it to pay a $2.6 million civil penalty, implement an estimated $6.5 million in new and improved air pollution emissions controls and limit the sulfur content of inputs in its metal production process to settle alleged violations of the Clean Air Act at a ferroalloy production facility in Beverly, Ohio.

Emissions of air pollutants, such as the sulfur dioxide and particulate matter emitted from Globe’s operation of five electric arc furnaces, may cause adverse environmental and health impacts, including lung disorders such as asthma and bronchitis.

According to the six-count complaint, filed simultaneously with the settlement in the Southern District of Ohio, Globe allegedly violated CAA requirements following the expansion of one of its furnaces, including a failure to assess the best available pollution control technology for the modified furnace and failure to demonstrate compliance with regulations applicable to ferroalloy production plants.

The U.S. also alleged that Globe had a history of excessive emissions of PM from the facility in violation of its existing permits.

In addition to paying a penalty, Globe will now be required to utilize coal and other materials with a specified reduced-sulfur content to limit the generation of harmful SO2 emissions.

Globe will also take significant steps to reduce emissions of PM, including the construction of an additional pollution control baghouse and implementation of physical improvements to equipment and changes to operational practices to reduce emissions of PM both from stacks and directly to the atmosphere from equipment. Globe will also be conducting extensive testing and implementing significantly enhanced monitoring of air pollutants to ensure ongoing compliance.

The consent decree also brings the Globe facility’s pollution control obligations up to date with environmental regulations that post-date the plant’s construction, including stricter limits on PM and carbon monoxide emissions.

The consent decree is subject to a 30-day comment period and final approval by the court. A copy of the consent decree is available on the Justice Department website.

Better weather fuels cheaper market

problems in war-torn Ukraine so last week’s net gains are being lost.

Most of the participants in the Monday morning “biscuit break” conference call I take part in were optimistic that good rain coverage the last 10 days has helped crops recover where they were suspect and helped us toward trendline or better crops in other areas.

Other than Southern Minnesota, most areas have had either rescuing or restorative rains. All areas were well-cooked by the heat wave last week, but temperatures had receded, and the forecast was for ideal temperatures in the 80s and low 90s. Most participants said the nights were cool enough that the hot weather did not hurt them much.

corn and subtracted a couple of million acres of soybeans. The results were sort of predictable. First, we traded corn lower, with soybeans going along for the ride. Then, we traded soybeans higher and dragged corn along.

Next, we traded weather, with most areas being a little to very much too dry, and with hot temperatures for a few days. One farmer on the call said his heat index got up to 110 to 116 degrees. Prices bounced higher with the idea of decreased production in both corn and soybeans.

the heat over much of the Midwest. The market and all the farmers know that August is the month that makes the soybeans. Now that the weather has moderated, we have hope for holding the prices a little higher.

Early last week, the soybeans got close to the contract high of $14.48, trading $14.35 at the high July 24. Then, we went down again, just like with the corn. The July 28 close was at $13.82 1/2.

they would have 50-bpa corn two weeks ago. Now, they have recovered and made so much progress that they are thinking of 150 bpa. That is a long way from the 220 they might expect in a good year, but it is a very real relief.

Corn, soybeans and wheat were sharply lower July 31, right out of the starting gate. Cooler and wetter weather forecasts encouraged the market that we could still get trendline yields over much of the 18-state area that produces most of the crops in the U.S.

The good weather is overcoming the bullish reaction to export

Significant events. The last few weeks have seen several significant political and production events that have given us, in the moment, reason to jerk the market higher or lower.

First, we had a revision of U.S. Department of Agriculture acreage estimates. We were surprised to find USDA thinks we added three million acres of

CASH PRICES - Grains and Feeds

Then, last week, we traded the war, with the previous Russian announcement that they would no longer let Ukrainian-origin grain ship out of Odessa. They followed that up by sending missiles into the grain facilities so that they couldn’t ship grain from some export facilities even if the Russians would allow them.

Finally, last week we traded the war to start, but then quickly turned lower July 25 with what was termed “profit taking.” We made a bull run in corn near the resistance at $5.82 December futures July 24, but stopped at $5.72 1/4.

By the middle of the week, it looked like we might not be able to hold support at $5.42. In fact, by July 28, we had seen the low of $5.24 1/2. It got worse coming into the day session July 31. By the morning break, we were down another 14 1/2 cents, at $5.15. We closed the day session at $5.13. That is almost 70 cents down in just a few days. We had recovered a penny or so in the night session July 31 as this was being written. Soybeans. Soybeans did a little better than corn the last 10 days. That would likely be because of the soybean acreage cut, and the fact that, last week we were fighting off

This was followed by reports of a return to moderate weather, and in the day session July 31, November soybean futures lost 50-3/4 cents. The close was $13.31 3/4, still well above the chart support at $12.75, but worrying.

When the night session started July 31, we had bounced almost a dime, at $13.41 1/2. The market was helped some with some surprise soybean sales, especially to China. We still lag the pace of exports needed to finish out the projections from USDA for the year, however.

Crop conditions. The fundamental factor that is watched a lot this time of year is the Crop Condition, part of USDA’s Crop Progress report we get each Monday during the day.

North Dakota, of all places, is leading the big-producing states with 72% rated good and 7% rated excellent, for a total of 79%. Ohio follows, with a 68% total. The 18 principle states that the report is based on came in rated 57% good and excellent, the same as last year. The average is 61%, so we are gaining on the average of a couple of weeks ago.

One of the callers, from Iowa, had corn that was in dough, and he related some early counts. Iowa is actually at 19% dough, nearly double the 11% average. An Illinois farmers said that he had farmers telling him they feared

With the rains of the last few days, the soybeans are getting a good start into that magical August. Some farmers say the soybeans are great, some say they are too short. I suspect that they will mostly be better than anyone thought a couple of weeks ago. That would mean that we have to get some sales done on any real recovery from the mess that was today’s market.

Wheat. That gets us to wheat, the commodity most affected by the Ukraine war, since that country is a significant exporter of wheat. December Chicago futures touched $7.90 1/4 July 25 before retreating. This was fairly amazing, given that just back on July 13, we got down to $6.411/2.

By July 28, we had crashed back to $7.11 3/4, as the market lost interest in the Ukraine exports, I guess. We are now trading up a nickel, at over $6.96, after a day session July 31 that lost over 36 cents, and an evening session that was up four cents.

Other wheat news has the winter wheat harvest lagging a little, at 80%, mostly because of the recent rains that were beneficial for the other grains. The average for this date is 83%. The spring wheat was hurt early by drought, and is still in poor condition, with 42% good and excellent, seven less than just last week. The normal condition is 70%.

Many Ohio ag groups vocal in support for Issue 1

(Continued from Page A1)

The Ohio AgriBusiness Association also supports the issue, saying it would keep Ohio a more “stable and predictable business environment,” in a release.

In an interview with Farm and Dairy, Chris Henney, OABA president and chief executive officer, referenced a 2009 attempt by the Humane Society of the United States to develop livestock care standards. In response, Ohio ag leaders helped develop the Ohio Livestock Care Standards Board.

“That’s a great example of why we’re concerned about [Ohio’s constitution] being too easy to amend,” Henney said, later adding, “If Issue 1 does not pass, then we maintain the status quo which means that we will continue to be vulnerable … particularly to radical animal groups or radical environmental groups.”

Majority rule. Groups opposed to the issue, however, say it undermines the principle of “one person, one vote.”

“The passage of Issue 1 would be a slap in the face of Ohioans who believe in democracy,” Joe Logan, president of the Ohio Farmers Union, said in a statement. The Ohio Farmers Union’s executive committee recently voted unanimously to oppose Issue 1.

Those opposing the issue also argue it gives the Ohio legislature more leeway to disregard the will of Ohio citizens, considering that it isn’t common for any issue to get a 60% supermajority.

Tavenor noted the Clean Ohio Fund, which was originally established in 2000, passed with 57% of the vote and would have failed under the rules that Issue 1 would set. Ending majority rule would mean 40% of voters “can veto the will of the majority on these issues,” they said. Signatures. Requiring signatures from all 88 counties to put an issue on the ballot is another major selling point for supporters of the issue.

“A lot of our members felt like the current 44-county process ignores rural communities and those corners of the state that aren’t heavily populated,” Bowers said. She added that Ohio Farm Bureau has had policies that support raising the standards for ballot initiatives for a while. “The signature collection process [in Issue 1] is just the epitome of a grassroots process.”

Those opposing the issue, however, say it’s already challenging to get enough signatures to put an issue on the ballot.

“88 counties essentially makes it impossible … because it’s such a high bar,” Tavenor said.

Battling the swarms

hit, all bets were off. The mosquitoes would descend in giant droves, swarming any warm-blooded body they could find.

Dakota mosquitoes are another thing entirely. During dry years, we might go the whole summer without a single mosquito bite on the ranch. Two years ago, as we watched the garden shrivel and dry, the trees fade and lean, the grass stop growing before it even began, I kept saying, “Well, at least there’s no mosquitoes.”

Little Pasture on the Prairie

I’ve shared before in this column the story of my family’s move from Michigan to Minnesota when I was a kid. Our modest backyard bordered an expansive wetland, a not uncommon feature in an eastern Minnesota suburb. The wetland was beautiful in every season, and we loved living next to it except for one thing — it came with an annual infestation of the Minnesota state bird, aka the mosquito. Of course, we were not entirely unfamiliar with the nasty critter; we had mosquitoes in Michigan, too. In fact, some of my earliest summer memories are of laying in bed, too itchy to sleep, scratching and scratching at mosquito bites. But, we soon discovered, our experiences with Michigan mosquitoes in no way prepared us for the Minnesota mosquitoes living in our backyard. All summer, they arrived daily in an abundance we had never seen in our original homeland. During the daylight hours, one was usually safe from their pesky bites, but once dusk

It was cold (or in that case, brutally hot) comfort indeed.

This year has been rainy, with temperatures on the cooler side, which has allowed the puddles in the pasture to last long enough for multiple mosquito hatchings. The result: the worst mosquito year since I arrived on the scene over a decade ago. They don’t just bite us, they swarm us in buzzing droves all hours of the day and night.

I’ve written in the past about the tenacity of Dakota mosquitoes during the few and far between years they are able to thrive, and their ability to to bite while humans try to walk, run, or even bike away (something that mosquitoes in less windy regions are unable to do because mosquitoes aren’t supposed to be able to land if there is even a slight breeze) and now I can also add cantering on a horse to the list. That is another story for another column, but suffice it to say, for most of the month of July, if we were outside, we were getting swarmed.

You might imagine, then, the vigilance I applied when preparing for our camping trip to Bemidji, Minnesota last week. Bemidji is ecologically almost the exact opposite of western Dakota. They have an abundance of lakes and bogs

and dense forests–in other words, the perfect habitat for mosquitoes. After battling the mosquitoes here all summer, where at least we have a house to occasionally retreat to, I was determined to arrive in Bemidji prepared so that our week in a tent wouldn’t be total misery.

Well, friends, this was an example of the best-laid plans…turns out while we’ve been having an unusually wet, cool summer, Minnesota has been having an unusually dry, hot one. We also happened to arrive in Bemidji the day smoke from the Canadian wildfires blew in and decided to hang out. So, while we did have to deal with heat and not great air quality for much of our time there, we did not have to deal with mosquitoes. The screened tent, screened hats, and bottles of insect repellent remained untouched. The few mosquitoes we did see were strangely uninterested in biting us and just buzzed around looking a little lost and confused.

Now we are home, and a week of high heat means the mosquitoes aren’t too bad here either. I’m secretly hoping for a mosquito-free August, but of course, I will not say that out loud — no need to tempt fate! And in the meantime, I will marvel at a nearly mosquito-free Minnesota vacation, a thing I would never have believed possible if I hadn’t experienced it myself.

Keeping Our Promises | August 3, 2023

How can we help? It’s a question my Norfolk Southern colleagues and I have been asking for the past six months.

How can we help East Palestine?

How can we help Darlington Township?

How can we help the communities impacted by February’s train derailment?

We promised to make things right for you and your neighbors, and we’ve made a lot of progress.

Our work isn’t over, which is why we will keep asking you how we can make things right. I’ve been to the area almost every week, talking with folks about ideas and concerns, and checking on our progress. More than 300 of my Norfolk Southern colleagues and our contractors are doing the same thing because we promised to help your communities recover and thrive, and we’re a company that keeps its promises.

Many of you told me you wanted the soil replaced underneath our tracks at the derailment site, and we listened. We promised to clean the site safely, thoroughly, and with urgency. We’re doing that, coordinating with local, state, and federal agencies every step of the way.

I know there have been concerns about environmental safety and we take that seriously. Environmental monitoring continues to show the air and drinking water are safe, and to provide an additional level of assurance, we’re working closely with all relevant stakeholders on a medical compensation fund.

We promised we would help people whose lives were disrupted by the derailment. We’re continuing to do that. Our Family Assistance Center has helped more than 10,400 families. We’re also developing an assistance plan for home sellers if their property loses value because of the derailment. Getting this and other funds right is an important part of keeping our promises.

I’ve had conversations with you about how we can support the long-term economic vitality of communities in the area. Based on your feedback, we’re doing that, with forward-thinking investments including revitalizing East Palestine City Park, a recent donation to the Pittsburgh Foundation, and many other contributions large and small. Our financial assistance and commitments to date total more than $64 million, with more to come.

We promised to learn from what happened and make a safe railroad even safer. We’re doing that, too. I’ve asked all 20,000 of my Norfolk Southern colleagues to speak up about ways we can enhance our safety culture. Through July, accidents on our mainline are trending down 40% from last year. We went outside the railroad industry and brought in an independent consultant headed by a retired admiral from the Nuclear Navy – the gold standard in safety. We’re partnering with labor unions that represent our front-line railroaders, and I’m advocating for federal legislative provisions to enhance safety for the entire rail industry.

Our work isn’t finished. We’re staying in East Palestine as long as it takes, and we just bought property for a new Norfolk Southern office in the village. The next time you see a Norfolk Southern railroader, I hope you’ll say hello. I hope you’ll let us know what else we can do to help. We count on your honest feedback, because we know supporting a community means listening to the people who call it home. We will continue to listen, and we will continue our work to help this community recover and thrive.

We’re in it for the long haul. We will see this through

Do small things in a great way

to combat feelings of being helpless about our environment and what you can do.

The three R’s — reduce, reuse and recycle — still hold value. If you don’t already recycle, please start. The key factors that really come into play here are limiting the amount of raw materials being used and limiting the amount of waste going into landfills. Landfills create methane, so the less that goes into the landfill, the better.

Kelly Riley

The Dirt on Conservation

“I feel guilty feeling this good” is a statement that my Dad almost always says whenever he goes to any doctor’s appointment. Albeit, my Dad has had a plethora of issues, from his back to his head to his heart and all throughout his body, but he still says, “I feel guilty feeling this good.”

I feel this statement resonates with me as well, living here in northeast Ohio. Sometimes, I myself feel guilty for feeling this good — or rather, having it this good.

From the smoking air and air quality alerts from wildfires from Canada, record-setting heatwaves across our nation, droughts and sudden flash floods and severe storms; all over the news outlets and on the weather stations, we cannot ignore that climate change and weather extremes are happening right now.

By and by, here in Ohio we seemed to have escaped most of those drastic events, or they were short-lived. However, I am torn between feelings of guilt for enjoying the wonderful area that I live in, and feelings of helplessness on how to better our nation and our scorching planet.

Sure, I’ll enjoy the guilty pleasures of where I live and be thankful for “feeling guilty” but what really bothers me is the feeling of despair over our environment.

Start small. I have always been a believer that little things add up to make a big difference. And, if you cannot do great things, do small things in a great way. So, if you’re like me and have a bucket list of things you’d like to do for the better of our planet, you can start small.

Here are my top five suggestions, and later a few explanations or ideas to get you motivated:

1. Recycle.

2. Manage mud.

3. Conserve water.

4. Bring your own bag.

5. Help pollinators.

Take the time, plan it out, and you will be delighted with the results from accomplishing your goals and knowing you made an environmental impact and difference.

Get started. Now let’s get back to some suggestions or ideas on how

As far as recycling, the process helps by limiting the need for carbon-intensive harvesting of virgin natural resources. Long story short, please do your best by recycling all you can, reusing what you can, reducing waste and finally, stop using plastic bags when you shop. Always bring your own reusable bags, BYOB.

The next suggestion, manage mud, could actually be “conserve soil,” but I see it differently. Anything from cover crops, rotational grazing, all-weather paddocks, grassed waterways, stream crossings, filter strips and access lanes are all projects that can help with soil erosion and mud or runoff on a farm. Around the house, simple things like mulch, gravel, impervious pavers, French drains and vegetative cover on soils can prevent soil loss.

Even though we are fortunate to live where water isn’t scarce, we should be in the mindset of water conservation. To be proactive, think of the following things you can do: using rain barrels, installing a rain garden, taking five-minute showers, installing a low-flow flush toilet, turning the faucet off when brushing your teeth and using a broom to clean the sidewalk or driveway, not the water hose. Invest in your conservation habits every day and be water-wise.

Lastly, I feel especially saddened for all of the wildlife, big and small, during the extreme weather events. Whether you have feeders out, provide a source of water, plant native flowers, plant a tree, stop using pesticides, provide habitat or shelter, grow milkweed, stop mowing, establish a pollinator garden, compost, volunteer or become a citizen scientist for a pollinator group, anything can and will make a difference.

Just remember, do what is right, not what is easy. If you are looking for advice or assistance on an idea or project, check out your local SWCD/NRCS office or OSU Extension. Your positive impact may not change the weather forecast, but it will help in the long run and may be noticed and appreciated more than you may expect.

I hope you feel guilty feeling so good!

$13M in tax credits available to Pa. farmers

HARRISBURG, Pa. – Agriculture Secretary Russell Redding invited Pennsylvania farmers to apply for $13 million in tax credits available to support their efforts to improve soil health and water quality.

The department will begin accepting applications on Aug. 7 for Resource Enhancement and Protection (REAP) tax credits from agricultural producers who implement best management practices or purchase equipment to reduce nutrient and sediment runoff, enhance soil health and improve the quality of Pennsylvania’s waterways.

Tax credits through Pennsylvania’s REAP can be combined with other state funding, including the Agriculture Conservation Assistance Program, and Conservation Excellence Grants, as well as federal funding through programs like the Environmental Quality Incentives Program to help pay for on-farm enhancements that protect the environment and boost farm sustainability.

Farmers may receive up to $250,000 in any seven-year period, and spouses filling jointly can use REAP tax credits. Examples of funded projects include no-till planting and precision ag equipment, waste storage facilities, conservation plans, and Nutrient Management Plans. Measures that limit run-off from high animal-traffic areas, as well as cover crops and stream buffers that prevent erosion, keeping nutrients in the soil and out of the water, are also common practices eligible for tax credits.

Farmers may receive REAP tax credits of 50 to 75% of a project’s eligible out-of-pocket costs. Farmers whose operation is in a watershed with an EPA-mandated Total Maximum Daily Load can receive REAP tax credits of 90% of out-of-pocket costs for some projects.

REAP applications are reviewed on a first-come, first-served basis. Baseline eligibility includes compliance with the PA Clean Streams Law and the Pennsylvania Nutrient and Odor Management Law.

Since the program began in 2007, REAP has awarded $147 million in tax credits for more than 8,500 projects. More information about REAP, is available at agriculture.pa.gov. The deadline to submit applications is Oct. 31. Funds may run out before the deadline.

God values each of us

board. Sermon titles usually provide some idea of what Sunday’s message will be about. But this one, “A Peanut in Yankee Stadium,” confounded him for years.

One possible answer, offered in Neil’s memory, lies in the lowly peanut’s role in our national pastime.

The peanut first appeared at a New York Yankees baseball game in 1895.

Rev. Eldon Trubee Like as a Fire

Matthew 25:31-40.

[Jesus speaks] When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory; and before him shall be gathered all nations; and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats. And he shall set the sheep on his right hm but the goats on the left.

Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, “Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world; for I was ahungered, and ye gave me meat; I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink; I was a stranger, and ye took me in; Naked, and ye clothed me; I was sick, and ye visited me; I was in prison, and ye came unto me.

Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, “Lord, when saw we thee ahungefred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink. When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee? Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?” And the King shall answer and say unto them, “Verily I say unto you, In as much as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.”

A PEANUT IN YANKEE STADIUM

The late Reverend Neil Hand, lifelong friend, mentor and Pittsburgh Pirates baseball fan, told me about a puzzling sermon title posted on a New York City church bulletin

A fellow who made his living selling roasted peanuts approached the ticket booth, asking permission to sell his wares at the game. The ducket distributor offered to exchange the goobers for a couple of tickets to the game, and then selling the nuts to the crowd. The deal struck, a much-beloved tradition began.

My parents took me to see my first major league baseball game, thanks to a free ticket in a potato chip bag, in 1953. The Cleveland Indians were playing the old hapless Washington Senators. Paraphrasing an ode to George Washington, one sports writer penned, “Wasington. First in war, first in peace, last in the American League.”

I remember that Bob Lemon pitched for Cleveland, Bob Porterfield for the Senators; I also recall the crowd, sounds and our seats high above the right field line. What I remember as clearly as anything was the bag of peanuts Dad bought for me.

If you attended a big league game, do you remember your first one? Perhaps you noticed the size of the crowd, the immensity of the stadium’s size, the huge scoreboard and the vastness of the green grass beyond the infield.

Then, the players took the field, masters of catching, running, throwing and batting. The baseballs traveled 90 miles per hour and were hit over 400 feet. The game’s sights and sounds were impressive and memorable.

If you were fortunate, you enjoyed a bag of little peanuts encased in their soft shells. The peanut. You had to shell it. That process helped

to pass the game’s slow moments between innings and pitcher changes. The nut helped to fill your stomach’s empty spots. The roast flavor was pleasantly mild.

That bag of those little filling and nutritious treats became a treasured memory. the peanuts in Yankee Stadium are tiny, minuscule when compared with baseball’s sights, sounds and excitement. But it has its treasured spot in baseball’s grand scheme.

So it is with you and me in this immense world that we inhabit. Each of us has equal value, place and purpose in it, and we are equally valued and loved by God who made us in the divine plan. You and I are the peanuts in the vast Yankee Stadium of God’s universe. God’s Word reminds us of our places in it.

“The least of these” of whom Jesus spoke in the above passage were just as important as the powerful and wealthy. Just as peanuts vary in size, so do we; however, we all have value.

Did you ever hunt for that last peanut hidden among the empty shells in the corners in the bottom of the bag? You didn’t want to miss it. We may have momentarily lost focus on the game as we searched for it.

So it is with God. God loves us so much that the Almighty will hunt for us, wanting us to know our creator. You and I are just as important as anything else in all of creation. Remember Jesus’ story about the woman who searched for the small coin she lost, and how happy she was to find it.

The psalmist asks a rhetorical question, “What is man that thou art mindful of him?” He knows the answer. Yes, we are important in God’s eyes.

Never underestimate the peanut’s valuable place in Yankee Stadium. Never underestimate our lives’ values in the vastness of the universe.

God, thank you for loving us and giving places and purposes in your creation. Amen.

Meditation from the Upper Room

ALWAYS READY

Who is this? He commands even the winds and the water, and they obey him.

— Luke 8:25 (NIV)

Growing up in the southwestern United States, we knew that we would have to deal with severe weather from time to time. It could be in the form of drought or a fierce thunderstorm. Sometimes the storms would produce a tornado. One minute you could be standing in the middle of a clear and sunny day, then all of a sudden a danger-

We should all aim for a blue ribbon in humility

By JRhoades

Pride: 1. A feeling of deep pleasure or satisfaction derived from one’s own achievements. 2. Having or showing a high or excessively high opinion of oneself.

Oh boy, oh boy, it’s fair time once again. Raising, training and grooming an animal (or any other project) to its best potential is on every 4-H’ers thoughts right about now, as they prepare for that trip to their local fair and ultimately the show ring or the judge.

Blue ribbons, purple rosettes and bragging rights are on every mind as these youngsters haul their projects off to the fair and place them on display for all to see.

Personally, I loved it when I was in 4-H, and I love it still. First place or last, I thoroughly enjoy walking around the fair exhibits and seeing all the hard work, sacrifice and effort our young people have given to their projects.

Who would think a pig could ever come so clean or a cow’s tail could be that white? Believe you me when I say it’s no accident when it happens. A welding bead so smooth or a dress sewn to such beauty and perfection — oh my! Horses take their riders around the ring, walking, trotting, cantering on command and to the utmost of perfection. You can see it all at the fair!

And to prove my point, when you tour your local county fair this year, just take a gander at not only the numerous projects, but also count up all the various colored ribbons and rosettes on display. My congratulations to all the 4-H people out there for putting on such a great show year after year, no matter the color of your ribbon.

Although, in my book, the 4-H people are the heart of the fair, we all know there are many adult displays too and my hat goes off to them as well. They also haul home the ribbons, and they, too, can earn bragging rights — anything from the best garden peas to the champion of champions draft horse. They are all there.

Jesus must have had “a feeling of deep pleasure” in all he accomplished as he spread word of his Father’s kingdom, performed miracles, healed the many sick, raised the dead and ultimately submitted himself to the cross. But was He arrogant about it?

Jesus said, “I am among you as the one who serves.” Luke 22:27.

Again he speaks, “For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve.” Mark 10:45.

Also in Mark 10 we read where Jesus girded himself with a towel; “then He poured water into the basin, and began to wash the disciples’ feet and to wipe them with the towel with which He was girded.” What kind of a proud arrogant person, a king, no less, would do that?

Take a moment to fully absorb these following verses found in Philippians 2:6-8. “Although He (Jesus) existed in the form of God, did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied Himself, taking the form of a bondservant, and being made in the likeness of men. Being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.”

When humility comes to mind, we think of people like Mother Theresa or Jesus. When arrogance comes to mind, we may think of more sinister people such as Hitler, or Pharaoh as he defied God during the 10 plagues on Egypt. In your mind, just compare the heart of Mother Theresa to the heart of Pharaoh. Who would you like to be most like?

D. L. Moody said, “Be humble, or you’ll stumble.” From Benjamin Franklin comes these words of wisdom and wit, “A man wrapped up in himself makes a very small bundle.”

It’s one thing to take pride in a job well done; it’s a completely different thing to become prideful and arrogant about it.

A simple test might be to ask yourself who’s giving the pat on the back — you or someone else?

ous storm would appear.

Something similar happened one day when Jesus and his disciples were in a boat on a calm day crossing over to the other side of a lake. A terrible storm arose, so fierce that everyone feared for their lives. While all of this was happening, Jesus was asleep. The others called to him to wake up. They believed that Jesus would be able to do something to help them. Jesus heard their cry, got up, spoke to the storm, and the winds and raging waves became still.

Jesus always anticipated the

in the

needs of those who needed his help. And Jesus did in fact have the power to calm that storm. Jesus wants us to know that no matter what storms arise in our lives, if we trust him and do not lose faith, he will bring us calm and peace — even in the middle of the storm.

TODAY’S PRAYER

Almighty God, when the storms of life are raging in our lives, stand by us. We know that you have the power to bring calm and safety. In the name of Jesus, we pray. Amen. — Anthony Sims, Texas

We, as a people, seem to enjoy doing well, or doing better than our peers. We even seem to enjoy taking home a prize doing well and receiving a well-earned pat on the back. We take “pride” (that feeling of deep pleasure) that comes in our accomplishment(s).

So where does the line fall that divides between taking pride

1. “A feeling of deep pleasure or satisfaction in one’s accomplishments,” and pride 2. “Having or showing an excessively high opinion of oneself”?

Judith Martin said, “It’s far more impressive when others discover your good qualities without your help.”

And now for a final word straight from the man who has the answers: “Thus says the Lord, ‘Let not a wise man boast of his wisdom, and let not the mighty man boast of his might, let not a rich man boast of his riches; but let him who boasts boast of this, that he understands and knows Me, that I am the Lord who exercises lovingkindness, justice and righteousness on earth; for I delight in these things,’ declares the Lord.” Jeremiah 9:23,24.

Summer oats make ideal forage

Allen

Gahler

All About Grazing

With challenges all around Ohio, forage production has seen its challenges this year. If supplemental forages may be needed for livestock operations, it might be a good year to consider summer-planted oats.

Oats traditionally is planted as the first crop in early April as a grain crop or an early season forage. However, oats can also be planted in the summer as a late summer or early fall forage for harvest or grazing.

Study. During the summer of 2019, we conducted a study to examine the planting of oats from July 15 through early September to examine tonnage and forage quality. We examined planting date, yield, forage quality and an application of foliar fungicide to control oats crown rust.

Usually, the best scenario for growing oats for forage is to plant them into wheat stubble, which is normally available by mid-July. However, based on prior research, the typical recommendation is to plant oats between Aug. 1 and Aug. 10 to maximize tonnage and quality.

The oats in this study were harvested between 60 and 75 days after planting. Figure 1 shows how yield changed based on planting date and nitrogen rate. Similar to previous studies, applying 46 pounds of nitrogen significantly increased yield on all planting dates but applying 92 pounds only increased yield during the late July planting. The July planting date did not receive rain for eight days then received about 1.5 inches possibly leading to a loss of nitrogen.

Adding this study to others, the recommended nitrogen rate for summer oat forage is to apply 50 pounds of nitrogen at planting. When planted in early September, yields fall to an average of a half-ton per acre making it less economical to mechanically harvest as stored forage.

quality. The application of nitrogen increased forage quality but only the mid-August planting saw a difference between 46 and 92 pounds of nitrogen for both CP and TDN. The application of fungicide improved oats’ digestibility, increasing protein by 1-2% and energy by 5 points.

Energy also saw a consistent increase overall treatments based on planting date. Crude protein averaged around 14% when nitrogen was applied but only 10% without nitrogen. TDN had an average of 50 with a nitrogen application and 40 without a nitrogen application.

Recommendations. We recommend seeding oats at 2-3 bushels per acre and applying 50 pounds of nitrogen at planting. With most seed oats or triple cleaned feed oats commonly used for fall forage, test weight is normally higher than the standard 32 pounds, so a more accurate assessment for planting rate may be to seed 80-100 pounds per acre.

The oats should be planted into moisture up to 1.5 inches deep if needed. No-till planting is the ideal seeding method but shallow conventional tillage may be required to incorporate nitrogen, assist with weed control and improve seed-to-soil contact if drills are not closing the seed slot.

Not only does nitrogen rate affect yield but also the feed value of the oats. In 2019, the oats were severely infected with crown rust. Fungicide was sprayed on the plots at approximately 30 days post-planting. The fungicide application reduced the presence of rust. Without a fungicide application over 50% of the leaf was covered by rust, while the fungicide application prevented the severe outbreak and decreased the rust content to less than 1% coverage on average.

Figure 2 and 3 show the crude protein and total digestible nutrients over the four planting dates across three rates of nitrogen with and without fungicide. Fungicide application had no effect on yield but did affect forage

Just keep in mind that if mechanical harvest is the intention, loose soils from conventional tillage may contribute to significant soil in the harvested crop, leading to higher ash content in the feed. If weeds are present, a chemical application of Glyphosate plus 2,4- D can be used to clean fields up before planting or before oats has emerged.

When harvested as a stored forage, oats often need to be harvested as silage or baleage. If the weather allows for dry harvest, the oats usually need tedded multiple times, and in late September or October, six or more days of drying may be required.

Oats make an excellent double crop after wheat. When planted between mid-July and mid-August and fertilized with at least 46 pounds of nitrogen, average yields are in the range of 1-1.5 tons dry matter, and with ideal conditions, three or more tons is very possible.

Pasto Museum features offerings related to past and present Ag

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — The Pasto Agricultural Museum is always an interesting place during Ag Progress Days, and this year will not be an exception. Visitors will be engaged before they even step through the door.

Fabulous flax. Penn State’s Center for Virtual/Material Studies will demonstrate flax fiber processing just outside the museum’s entrance during the show Aug. 8-10. The center has been exploring the cultivation of flax, which will be processed into thread, which could be made into linen. Flax plants used in the experiment were grown at The Arboretum at Penn State. Documentation and photos of the center’s flax project can be seen on its dedicated flax website.

The demonstration is historical because flax was the first textile produced by humans. The oldest scraps of flax linen were found in prehistoric cave dwellings in the Caucasus and are estimated to be 38,000 years old. Later, in ancient Egypt, the textile was used for everything from daywear to mummy bandages.

Two thousand years after that, linen went global. The ancient Phoenicians exported linen yarn to Scotland, Persia, India, and China. In the colder regions of Europe, linen

was used to make shirts, shifts, and chemises that were worn under wool outerwear. In fact, linen is the origin of the words “lining” and “lingerie.” Museum exhibits. Once inside the museum, fascinating exhibits await visitors, according to Rita Graef, director of the Pasto Agricultural Museum and Armsby Respiration Calorimeter:

• A new exhibit that features collections from across the College of Agricultural Sciences that are instrumental to teaching, research and engagement. Included are an Armsby Respiration Calorimeter and many specimens from the Frost Entomological Museum collection.

• The Penn State University Press will again offer for sale new and longrunning titles related to agriculture and the environment and history. Its display will be located just inside the museum entrance.

• Macrobes for Microbes, a graduate student club, will unveil a “Winogradsky column,” made to highlight the diversity and resiliency of microbial communities living in different soils throughout Pennsylvania. It will generate interest in and understanding of the complex and varied microbial world around us, Graef explained.

Penn State Progress Days

Like every year at Ag Progress Days, the Pasto Museum strives to connect the agricultural past with present-day practice and research around food, environment and renewable resources, Graef noted. The Pasto Museum’s exhibits, programs, demonstrations and tours provide an understanding of local and regional history, where food comes from, as well as the inventions and technology that have made food production on a large scale possible.

For information about the museum and to learn about programs running through fall 2023, visit agsci.psu.edu/ pasto. During Ag Progress Days, the museum opens at 10 a.m. each day and closes one hour prior to show times.

Life Out Loud!

Many of you are located in the east coast and Midwest and are currently facing a searing heat wave and freaking out (understandably).

Please note, however, that we are going to need you to keep this same energy and understanding when our southern states get a single snow flurry and forget how to exist.

Best when cold. We northern states can be pretty smug about our ability to handle cold and snow. Memes and posts abound about how the entire southern U.S. shuts down for two snowflakes. There is a run on bread, milk and potato chips. Everyone stays home.

Northerners laugh and engage the 4-wheel drive as we head out to throw ourselves down mountains on skis. Well, not me personally since I have some sense, but other people really seem to enjoy that sort of thing.

Then the north gets a heatwave and we plumb forget how to exist.

Southern sizzle. I know Southerners are barely registering the 100-plus-degree heat today. “Oh this old thing?” they probably say as the thermometer pops its top.

I’m fielding endless phone notifications warning me about a “Severe Weather Alert” (read: heatwave) telling me to stay home, stay cool and consider moving into my freezer for the duration.

Meanwhile, I am pretty sure they are saying, “well bless your heart,” as they head out for a morning jog, perhaps deciding to shingle a roof later. Apparently, this heat barely phases them.

Dwellers of fire, please tell me your secret. In this humidity, the air feels like a wet washcloth, my hair has tripled in size, everything is sticky, and I have the energy level of a sloth — but somehow less zippy. How do you do this?

HOW HOT IS TOO HOT

Heat plus humidity can equal danger

By W. Larry Kenney

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. — Heat waves are becoming supercharged as the climate changes — lasting longer, becoming more frequent and getting just plain hotter. One question a lot of people are asking is: “When will it get too hot for normal daily activity as we know it, even for young, healthy adults?”

The answer goes beyond the temperature you see on the thermometer. It’s also about humidity. Our research shows the combination of the two can get dangerous faster than scientists previously believed.

Scientists and other observers have become alarmed about the increasing frequency of extreme heat paired with high humidity, measured as “wet-bulb temperature.” During the heat waves that overtook South Asia in May and June 2022, Jacobabad, Pakistan, recorded a maximum wet-bulb temperature of 33.6 C (92.5 F) and Delhi topped that — close to the theorized upper limit of human adaptability to humid heat.

People often point to a study published in 2010 that estimated that a wet-bulb temperature of 35 C — equal to 95 F at 100% humidity, or 115 F at 50% humidity — would be the upper limit of safety, beyond which the human body can no longer cool itself by evaporating sweat from the surface of the body to maintain a stable body core temperature.

If you can’t stand the heat — sit with me

HOW HOT IS TOO HOT

It was not until recently that this limit was tested on humans in laboratory settings. The results of these tests show an even greater cause for concern.

H.E.A.T. Project. To answer the question of “how hot is too hot?” we brought young, healthy men and women into the Noll Laboratory at Penn State University to experience heat stress in a controlled environment.

These experiments provide insight into which combinations of temperature and humidity begin to become harmful for even the healthiest humans.

Each participant swallowed a small telemetry pill, which monitored their deep body or core temperature. They then sat in an environmental chamber, moving just enough to simulate the minimal activities of daily living, such as cooking and eating. Researchers slowly increased either the temperature in the chamber or the humidity and monitored when the subject’s core temperature started to rise.

That combination of temperature and humidity whereby the person’s core temperature starts to rise is called the “critical environmental limit.” Below those limits, the body is able to maintain a relatively stable core temperature over time. Above those limits, core temperature rises continuously and risk of heat-related illnesses with prolonged exposures is increased.

When the body overheats, the heart has to work harder to pump blood flow to the skin to dissipate the heat, and when you’re also sweating, that decreases body fluids. In the dir-

est case, prolonged exposure can result in heat stroke, a life-threatening problem that requires immediate and rapid cooling and medical treatment.

Our studies on young healthy men and women show that this upper environmental limit is even lower than the theorized 35 C. It’s more like a wetbulb temperature of 31 C (88 F). That would equal 31 C at 100% humidity or 38 C (100 F) at 60% humidity.

Current heat waves around the globe are approaching, if not exceeding, these limits.

Dry vs. humid. In hot, dry environments the critical environmental limits aren’t defined by wet-bulb temperatures, because almost all the sweat the body produces evaporates, which cools the body. However, the amount humans can sweat is limited, and we also gain more heat from the higher air temperatures.

Keep in mind that these cutoffs are based solely on keeping your body temperature from rising excessively. Even lower temperatures and humidity can place stress on the heart and other body systems. And while eclipsing these limits does not necessarily present a worst-case scenario, prolonged exposure may become dire for vulnerable populations such as the elderly and those with chronic diseases.

Our experimental focus has now turned to testing older men and women, since even healthy aging makes people less heat tolerant. Adding on the increased prevalence of heart disease, respiratory problems and other health problems, as well as certain medications, can put them at even higher risk of harm. People over the age of 65 comprise some 80%90% of heat wave casualties.

Stay safe. Staying well hydrated and seeking areas in which to cool down — even for short periods — are important in high heat.

While more cities in the United States are expanding cooling centers to help people escape the heat, there will still be many people who will experience these dangerous conditions with no way to cool themselves.

Even those with access to air conditioning might not turn it on because of the high cost of energy — a common occurrence in Phoenix, Arizona — or because of large-scale power outages during heat waves or wildfires, as is becoming more common in the western U.S.

A recent study focusing on heat stress in Africa found that future climates will not be conducive to the use of even low-cost cooling systems such as “swamp coolers” as the tropical and coastal parts of Africa become more humid. These devices, which require far less energy than air conditioners, use a fan to recirculate the air across a cool, wet pad to lower the air temperature, but they become ineffective at high wet-bulb temperatures above 21 C (70 F).

All told, the evidence continues to mount that climate change is not just a problem for the future. It is one that humanity is currently facing and must tackle head-on.

AAA urges motorists to ACT

INDEPENDENCE, Ohio — As millions of Americans deal with a serious heat wave sweeping across the country, heat index values are predicted to jump by the end of the week. AAA East Central is urging motorists about the dangers of leaving children and pets in a hot car.

“A child’s body temperature rises three to five times faster than an adult’s and when a child is left in a hot vehicle, the situation could become life-threatening very quickly,” says Lynda Lambert, media spokesperson and safety advisor, AAA East Central.

“As parents, caregivers and bystanders, we all play a role in making sure children and animals are protected from these dangerous conditions.”

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, more than 900 children have died of heat stroke in the last 25 years after being left or trapped in a vehicle. In just 10 minutes, the temperature inside a vehicle can heat up by 20 degrees and become deadly.

AAA East Central urges motorists to ACT:

A: Avoid heatstroke by never leaving a child in the car alone, not even for a minute.

C: Create electronic reminders or put something in the backseat like a cell phone, purse, or briefcase that will be needed when exiting the car. Always lock vehicles and never leave car keys or car remote where children can get to them.

T: Take action and immediately call 9-1-1 if a child or pet is found unattended in a car.

Animals at risk. When it comes to heatstroke, animals are also at risk. Leaving them in a vehicle while running errands, taking a break at a rest stop during a road trip or for any other reason, can have deadly consequences.

Animals left in hot cars can face irreversible organ damage, heatstroke, brain damage and, in extreme cases, death.

Signs of heatstroke in dogs and cats can include panting, excessive drooling, vomiting, reddened gums and tongue, rapid heart rate and wobbly, uncoordinated movement.

Animals are also at a more severe rate of risk when they have factors like age (very young, very old), obesity, poor heart/lung conditioning, are a short-nosed, flat-faced breed or have a thick hair coat.

Have your dial gauge pressure canner lid tested for free

BEAVER, Pa. — Canning season is here, and if you have a dial gauge pressure canner, it’s important to have it checked for accuracy each year. Accurate pressure is critical for the safe processing of low-acid foods such as green beans, beets, corn, soups and meats.

If the pressure reading on your

Dicker Day set for Aug. 4 in downtown Alliance

gauge is not accurate, you may not be killing all the bacteria and spores that could cause illness or death.

Dial pressure gauge testing will be available at the Penn State Extension Beaver County office Aug. 10 from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. An appointment is required. If you cannot attend at this time, schedule a time to drop off

Public

your dial gauge pressure canner lid to be tested. To schedule an appointment or a time to drop off a canning lid with a gauge, call 724-774-3004. The testing is available at no charge — just bring the canner lid with the gauge or just the gauge. Weighted gauge canner lids do not need to be tested.

ALLIANCE, Ohio — Local businesses and community members are invited to shop, sell or do both at Dicker Day on historic Main Street in downtown Alliance 4-8 p.m. Aug. 4. The event features fun, free and family-friendly activities,

including live music at Thebes Event Center, shopping via local crafters and vendors, a scavenger hunt, a train garden, a 50-50 raffle, a children’s craft, bookmobile storytime and raffle baskets. Parking is available on Arch Street, East Main Street and Linden Street.

If you can’t stand the heat — sit with me

(Continued from Page B1)

Excessive. The thing about residing in a northern state is that I put up with the cold and snow primarily as a trade-off for NOT having deadly hot summers.

I say smugly “I like all four seasons!” By this, I mean spring, summer, winter and fall and not spring, summer, “welcome to Hades,” winter, and fall.

I am not made for this heat. I cannot function in this. I scurry from the air-conditioned building to air-conditioned vehicles like a bug avoiding bright light. I am a Yankee through and through.

I have no point of reference for this level of heat, so I invariably touch the steering wheel in a car heated to oven temps or plop down on bare metal or vinyl in shorts. Ouch.

Sure, boating and swimming can take the sting out of a heatwave, but at some point, even the water is just too warm. It is not remotely refreshing to swim in water at the temperature of tepid bathwater.

Before all you hot weather weirdos come out with “I’d rather live on the surface of the sun than put up with winter,” let me remind you: you can always put on another layer of clothing for the cold, but you can only get so naked. At least one would hope.

I can always add a cute sweater and fuzzy scarf to my outfit on even the coldest day. No one wants to see me cruising through the hardware store or grocery in my birthday suit in a heat wave. Trust me. No. One.

Stay cool, friends. Also, stay dressed.

Millions going to fix roads around future Intel campus

COLUMBUS — Ohio Governor Mike DeWine and the Ohio Department of Transportation announced on July 17 $90 million for transportation investments in the area surrounding Intel’s future campus, known as the Silicon Heartland. This is the latest in a long list of funding commitments and investments in this region.

The bulk of the investment, $66 million, will fund projects on local roadways in Delaware, Franklin and Licking counties. This investment includes reconstructing roadways, improving the safety and efficiency of intersections and making sure the local roadway network has the capacity to address the demands of this rapidly growing area of Ohio.

The remaining $24 million will be used by ODOT to advance projects that create safer intersections and expand key corridors in this rapidly growing area of Ohio.

Soon after Intel announced its plan to spend $20 billion to construct two manufacturing facilities in Licking County, DeWine directed ODOT to accelerate a project to add a third lane in each direction to State Route 161 between Interstate 270 and U.S. Route 62 to support the increase in traffic expected along the corridor. That project begins July 17.

AUCTIONEER’S NOTE: Chris Brown grew up in Lowell, Ohio. He was an avid outdoorsman. He loved the challenge of shooting, whether he was standing upright or later in life shooting from his wheelchair. He always looked forward to the camaraderie with his friends at the gun clubs as well as the solitude of the woods. Over the years, Chris was able to amass a highly desirable collection of guns. Each gun has a history and unique story behind it. Each piece valued for its precision, beauty, rarity and sentiment. It was Chris’ wish that others have the opportunity to purchase and appreciate these special items, as he did.

AG looking for more impacted consumers

XENIA, Ohio — Attorney General

Dave Yost is suing a Dayton man and his custom woodworking company that are accused of taking more than $33,000 from consumers without delivering the products they ordered.

The lawsuit, filed in Greene County Common Pleas Court, alleges that Speck Custom Woodwork LLC and its sole owner, Trevor Speck, failed to deliver cabinets after making consumers

pay in full upfront. The Ohio Attorney General’s Office received complaints from five consumers who reported $33,787 in losses after Speck failed to deliver the cabinets that they ordered. Yost’s complaint also alleges Speck refused to refund consumer deposits or payments. The lawsuit asks that the consumers be reimbursed and that civil penalties of $25,000 be imposed for each violation of Ohio’s

Consumer Sales Practices Act. Speck Custom Woodwork primarily sold furnishings online on sites like Etsy and Shopify. The Attorney General’s Office believes there may be dozens of other consumers whose orders were paid for but not filled. Consumers who may have been affected by Speck’s business practices are encouraged to contact Yost’s office by filing a complaint or by calling 800-282-0515.

Symbols add meaning for secret societies

ruffled rim, pedestal base, early 20th century, 10 by 11 inches, $50.

• Lalique glass figurine, Perceval, dog, greyhound, standing, on a rectangular base, marked, 8 by 10 1/2 by 3 inches, $255.

By Terry and Kim Kovel

Secret societies are, by their nature, mysteries to people who aren’t part of them. But other people are aware of their symbols. This carved wooden shelf is decorated with symbols of the Odd Fellows. It features three chain links, representing the society’s values of friendship, love and truth.

Other symbols have more general, familiar meanings. The heart-in-hand is a symbol for benevolence that is often associated with the Odd Fellows but not used exclusively by them. The All-Seeing Eye, sun and globe carry meanings of universal spirit. And the hourglass, scythe, skull and crossbones are well-known symbols of mortality.

The Odd Fellows is believed to have originated in medieval trade guilds, with “odd fellow” meaning someone who did odd jobs for a living. They did charitable work in their communities and provided financial assistance to members.

At one point, the Odd Fellows was the largest secret society in the U.S., but membership dropped during the Great Depression. Famous members included actor Charlie Chaplin, aviator Charles Lindbergh and multiple U.S. presidents, first ladies and political figures, including Franklin D. and Eleanor Roosevelt. • • •

Q. My mother had an old oil lamp sitting on the kitchen table. It did not have the original chimney, but she was able to find another one that fit. The top globe is also missing. The bottom globe has four raised lion heads with biblical or desert scenes between them. I saw one very similar to ours in an antique shop, and the price was $600! Could mine be this valuable?

A. Oil lamps continue to be sought by collectors. The late 19th-century lamps were renamed “Gone with the Wind” lamps when they were used as set decorations in the 1939 movie.

This style of oil lamp has two shades or globes with a chimney in between. Many have been modified for use as electrical lamps. Your lamp only has the bottom globe. Complete lamps that are similar to yours have recently sold for $75 to $275.

Hello from Hazard!

Item No. 1252 and Item No. 1253 have had our readers stumped all month, but we’ve finally received some guesses.

Kurt Barbee wrote in to say since the items were made by FMC and were for beans they were probably used to set a seeder or some kind of processing equipment, possibly a bean sorter. The number would give the setting.

Paul and Kay Scott believe Item No. 1252 looks like a gauge for measuring steel round stock, bolts or drill bits. And Item 1253 is a gauge used to measure green and wax beans.

Bob Joseph thinks these items were used for green bean grading. He shared the following:

“As an OSU graduate student, Dr. John Mount, emeritus professor of food science at University of Tennessee, used the device on the left when evaluating green bean cultivars. All the beans were picked from the plants at once and evaluated with the gauge to measure how fast the beans produced pods. The size determined whether the beans would be cut and canned or smaller beans would be frozen. The devices could be used by USDA and packers to grade green beans.”

Greg Marous, of Bainbridge Township, Ohio, submitted these items.

• • •

We’ve also received a new submission from Jim Petrosky. He came across Item No. 1254 at his great uncle’s estate. Can you help him crack the case?

Do you know what the items are and how they were used? Let us know by emailing us at editorial@ farmanddairy.com; or by mail to: Hazard a Guess, c/o Farm and Dairy, P.O. Box 38, Salem, OH 44460.

Ag Progress Days features educator exhibits Ag

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — Climate-smart agriculture, the importance of biodiversity and the latest news about the spotted lanternfly will be among the displays and presentations at the College of Agricultural Sciences Exhibits Building and Theater during Penn State’s Ag Progress Days.

College of Agricultural Sciences faculty members and Penn State Extension educators will address these and other topics in a series of exhibits:

• Climate-smart agriculture and biodiversity: Biodiversity refers to the incredible variety of life on Earth, from the tiniest microorganisms to the vast ecosystems that support them.

Visitors also can talk with Penn State faculty, extension educators and graduate students about the wide variety of career opportunities available in veterinary medicine and animal agriculture.

• Spotted lanternfly updates:

Visitors can speak with Penn State spotted lanternfly experts and find out where the invasive pest is now, how to identify the various life stages of the insect, and how they can help contain and manage lanternfly infestations.

Penn State Master Gardeners honored for bee monitoring

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — Penn State Extension Master Gardeners triumphed at the International Master Gardener Conference held in June in Overland Park, Kansas, earning first place in the research category of the David Gibby Search for Excellence Awards for their exceptional volunteer work and dedication to bee monitoring. The conference hosted 1,130 master gardeners and extension professionals from 44 U.S. states, Canada and England.

Earning first place in the research category were 20 Penn State Master Gardeners who partnered with the lab of Margarita López-Uribe, associate professor of entomology in Penn State’s College of Agricultural Sciences, in a multiyear effort to increase understanding of Pennsylvania’s native bee population. This project leveraged master gardeners’ interest in pollinators while providing advanced training on the protocols used to collect, pin, label and identify native bees.

The first long-term bee monitoring program in Pennsylvania has had a significant impact on understanding native bee populations across the state, especially in areas where data was not as robust, said Valerie Sesler, master gardener area coordinator for 12 counties in southwestern Pennsylvania. The program was born from a Science-to-Practice grant from Extension and the College of Agricultural Sciences Office for Research and Graduate Education. The grant program awards up to $10,000 a year to integrated research and extension teams to address pressing, complex challenges.

The David Gibby Search for Excellence Awards celebrate the efforts and talents of master gardener volunteers. These innovative group projects frequently serve as models, influencing the development of extension Master Gardener-led programs worldwide.

Ohio expands program for older drivers

COLUMBUS — The Ohio Traffic Safety Office is expanding a program to prevent injuries among older drivers. The office is now providing federal funds from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to the Central Ohio Area on Aging for the state’s first statewide CarFit coordinator, Angela Wise. Wise will work to train more CarFit volunteers and plan events to reach more older adults.

CarFit is an educational program, launched in 2006 by AAA, AARP and the American Occupational Therapy Association, which offers older adults the opportunity to improve their safety and comfort behind the wheel. At a CarFit event, trained volunteers complete a 12-point checklist with each driver. Occupational therapists are also on hand to provide a consultation if needed.

People 65 and older make up the fastest-growing segment of drivers nationally and in Ohio. By 2030, the state will have more than 4.8 million residents who are 65 and older. While older drivers typically take fewer risks while driving than younger drivers, they are more likely to be injured or killed in a crash due to age-related fragility. In addition, normal aging may increase common risk factors for roadway crashes, including vision changes, flexibility, strength, range of motion and size and height.

Those interested in becoming a trained CarFit volunteer, or attending a CarFit event can learn more on the CarFit website, Car-Fit.org or email Wise directly at awise@coaaa.org.

ATV hazards the focus of farm safety demonstrations

Ag

Penn State Progress Days

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — Visitors to the Farm Safety Demonstration Area at Ag Progress Days can learn about the hazards of all-terrain vehicles and ways to minimize the risk of rollovers.

Four total demonstrations — at 10 a.m. and noon Aug. 8 and 10 — will show the hazards related to ATV usage and highlight protective safety gear for ATV riders.

Agricultural safety specialists will also simulate a power take-off entanglement emergency and demonstrate first responders’ approach to managing farmrelated incidents. This demonstration will take place Aug. 9 at 11 a.m. and 1 p.m.

The Farm Safety Demonstration Area also will host Penn State faculty members from the Department of Agricultural and Biological Engineering, who will demonstrate the safe use of unmanned aerial vehicles, commonly called drones. Visitors can watch drones in action and learn about their uses in agriculture. The demonstrations are scheduled for 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. Aug. 8 and 10.

Health and wellness. Visitors to the Rural Health and Safety Tent, at the end of West Sixth Street and adjacent to the Farm Safety Area, can take advantage of a variety of free health screenings, activities and information for all ages.

Health specialists will offer carotid artery screenings, vision screenings, blood pressure screenings and health and safety information from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. daily.

Several organizations will provide interactive activities and wellness information:

• AgrAbility for Pennsylvanians will offer tools, tips and assistive technology to educate farmers and agricultural workers about options to continue farming and working in agriculture despite a disability or health condition.

• Prevention Health will provide carotid artery screenings each day from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

• The American Trauma Society will present information and activities related to ATV safety, helmets and concussion education.

• The Northeast Center for Occupational Health and Safety will offer a tick educational activity, including examples of real ticks and tick removal kits.

• North Central Sight Services will provide free vision screenings and demonstrations of assistive technology for those with low vision or vision loss.

• Penn State Health will provide blood pressure screenings, functional assessments and wellness resources.

• American Liver Foundation will provide liver health education and resources. Pesticide safety. In addition, the Pennsylvania Office of Rural Health’s farm worker protection safety specialist will provide pesticide applicators with two opportunities daily to earn core pesticide credits by attending 30-minute presentations on pesticide safety topics. Two classes — each worth one core credit — will take place behind the Rural Health and Safety tent:

• “Pesticide Storage, Security and Transportation,” Aug. 8, 9 and 10 at 11:30 a.m., will cover proper storage of pesticides for safety, security and preservation of the product as well as tips for transporting pesticides.

• “Pesticide Spills Happen — What should you do? Who should you call?,” Aug. 8, 9 and 10 at 1:30 p.m., will cover what to do during a spill, items needed in a spill kit, and the appropriate contacts for reporting the spill.

Now Here’s A Tip

By Jo Anne Derson

• When baking, you can slow the rising time of dough by placing it in a cool place to rise. You can even let it rise in the refrigerator! Basically, it’s done rising when it’s doubled in size, so use that as your guide.

• Place individual fabric softener sheets into sneakers to keep them fresh between wearings. You can use this for other shoes, too. Just be aware that the softener sheet should stay inside the shoe; it could discolor certain fabrics on the outside.

• “I have long hair, and it always jams up the shower drain. I tried one of those hair catcher things, but the drain doesn’t recess enough. What I did was to cut a piece of stiff screen to fit the drain hole, and I secured it with a hairpin that dangles down. It catches everything. Nothing slips under it, and I can clean it off easily.”

— I.R. in Massachusetts

• “It used to be that my kids would do something cute and I’d scramble to dig out the camera, only for the moment to be passed. Now I keep two cameras (digital photos and video camera) charged up and ready to go in a bowl on a high shelf. I grab it and turn it on — that’s it.”

— T.F. in Idaho

• When baking savory bread, try substituting vegetable broth for the water in your recipe. It adds a deeper element of flavor to the bread. Just try to use low-sodium broth so you don’t add too much salt to your bread.

• “If you have a little one who is afraid of the bedroom because of ‘monsters,’ try getting your hands on some ‘Monster Away Spray.’ I used a can of air freshener that I decorated with paper to make a new label. Fooled the kids and eased their fears quickly.”

Webinar series looks at silage and hay

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — Those looking to enhance their proficiency in working with farms that produce silage, hay and pasture may want to attend an upcoming Penn State Extension webinar series.

The eight-part series, titled “Fencepost Fundamentals: Pasture, Hay and Forage Crops,” will take place from 9 to 10 a.m. Wednesdays through Sept. 6. The program will skip Aug. 9, as organizers encourage participants to join them at Penn State’s Ag Progress Days expo.

This series is designed for agricultural conservation professionals, new or beginning crop consultants, and new or beginning agricultural professionals.

“This webinar series will explore agriculture and farming practices commonly used in Pennsylvania and throughout the Northeast,” said Nicole Santangelo Thompson, field and forage crops team leader and agronomy extension educator. “From pastures to silage crops, we explore the terminology, best practices, opportunities and challenges farmers face making a living in agriculture.”

Sessions will cover pasture species, soil pH, nutrient balancing, how hay is made, forage weed identification and how corn silage is made.

Participants can register through Sept. 6 for a $40 fee.

More information is available on the Penn State Extension website at extension.psu.edu/fencepost-fundamentals-pasture-hay-and-forage-crops.

Touched by gold, in nature and life

large numbers might be considered a pest, yet the golden dung fly (Scathophaga stercoraria) is a unique and important component of the farm ecosystem.

Measuring up to 9 mm in length, the males, with their vivid golden hue, are covered with tiny bristles giving them a furry appearance, while females, with fewer hairs, are smaller and a duller shade of yellow. The dung fly’s life revolves around fresh feces, especially that of the bovine nature.

into the soil and pupate. A quick life cycle allows the fly to produce up to five generations in a year.

It’s hard to imagine what livestock pastures might look like without the contribution of these small flies and their incredibly important role in the natural decomposition of excrement in the fields.

Summer is a golden time filled with sunshine, warmth and activity. It’s a time to work in the garden, have picnics, hike with the dog, play at the park and enjoy the longer days. Sunrises and sunsets are many shades of gold. In fact, gold is all around us — you just have to open your eyes.

For many with livestock, the sight of a fresh cowpie covered with fuzzy yellow flies is a common sight. It would seem that an insect present in such

Golden dung fly. While females spend time feeding on flower nectar, the males sit on the dung awaiting their arrival, often preying on blow flies. Females rely on fresh manure upon which to deposit their eggs. After mating, which occurs atop the pile, the females carefully place their eggs on the sloped surfaces of the excrement. This not only protects them from the scorching sun but also keeps them from drowning in puddles that might form during rain events.

Upon hatching, the larvae actively feed and grow inside the pile. Within three weeks, they burrow

Imperial moth. Parking now beneath a porch light near you is the imperial moth (Eacles imperialis). This breathtaking giant silk moth, with a wingspan of nearly 7 inches, lights up the night with its golden color. Like all giant silk moths, it emerges in late spring or early summer after spending the winter in a dormant stage.

Upon emergence, the female begins to grow her wings, while at the same time, emitting pheromones from an organ at the tip of her abdomen. Males, up to five miles away, lock onto these invisible particles of scent and are drawn directly to her. Mating takes place during the night and throughout the following day.

A WRANGLER’S RECKLESS WRITINGS

Dude Horse’s View

This dude ranch is much nicer than most ranches I have seen. The cowboys feed us hay and oats, yet keep us mighty lean.

I heard one cowboy say, “A horse whose stomach’s fat and round, will let the saddle slip on down. The dude will hit the ground.”

Well, stayin’ in this corral is what I’d like to do today. But haulin’ all these city dudes is how I earn my stay.

Today I’ll prob’y get a dude whose sippin’ on the sauce. He’ll be hollerin’ out his cowboy drawl then wave and say, “Hi Hoss.”

He’ll be tryin’ to impress his gal. She’ll laugh at all his jokes. I wish they’d give me earplugs. I would tune out all these folks.

I’d rather have a dude who’ll sit the saddle nice and quiet. And maybe if I’m lucky he’ll be workin’ on his diet.

Well, there’s a city dude I swear he’s bigger than a tree. And chompin’ down a doughnut. Now he has his eye on me.

He’s wearing Justin cowboy boots. Is that a Stetson hat? His shiny brand new belt buckle is pinchin’ up the fat.

He points in my direction. Says, “I’d like to ride that horse.” The cowboy says, “He’s kinda rank. He might be your remorse.”

The city dude walked over and then stood at my left side. He looked a little nervous. Said, “I’m up for this horse ride.”

I’ll lay my ears straight back and then I’ll snort and show my teeth! That fella needs to know that very soon I’ll be his grief.

He tries to get a foothold but the stirrup’s up too high. I’ll keep my wits about me then I’ll fool him on the sly.

He climbs up on the rail fence and then tries to make a leap. I do the side step, just in time. I really have quick feet.

He hits all fours and bites the dirt. Oh what a dusty cloud! The cowboys come a runnin’. I’m surrounded by a crowd.

I could be in some trouble. Hope the city dude won’t sue. ‘Cuz the next job waitin’ for me is a tube of Elmer’s Glue.

Two friendly dudes soon help him and he climbs up on my back. I guess the fun is over and we’re gettin’ back on track.

So why am I expected to haul this biggest hunk of flesh? It’s the life of every dude horse and for that I must confess.

Let’s get this horse ride over and we’ll finish out the course! It’s just another day for me, a dumb and old dude horse.

(Bryce Angell’s father was an outfitter and guide for 35 years, and Bryce was there to shoe and care for the horses and help him do the cooking.

USDA continues work on rabies

WASHINGTON — The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service will continue field evaluation of the oral rabies vaccine bait ONRAB in eight states as part of its larger-scale rabies prevention effort. This year’s field evaluation will assess ONRAB’s distribution methods and effectiveness in raccoons, skunks and other wildlife.

APHIS’ Wildlife Services leads the cooperative National Rabies Management Program that works to prevent the spread of rabies in wildlife. Through this program, APHIS works with states and other partners across the country to manage and eliminate rabies in U.S. wildlife and protect public health and safety.

As human populations grow in suburban and rural areas, there is more interaction with wildlife. This increases the risk of rabies exposure for people and pets.

Serious concern. Rabies is a serious public health concern. While rabies is almost always fatal once symptoms appear, it also is 100% preventable. Human exposures can be successfully remedied if medical attention is sought immediately following exposure.

Costs associated with rabies detection, prevention and control may exceed $500 million annually in the United States. According to the CDC, about 90% of reported rabies cases in the U.S. are in wildlife. The program currently uses another rabies vaccine, RABORAL V-RG®, to control the disease in raccoons, coyotes and foxes. APHIS is now assessing whether the ONRAB vaccine can effectively manage rabies in raccoons and skunks.

Beginning in late July, APHIS and cooperators will distribute approximately 3.5 million ONRAB ORV baits in parts of Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia to test the immune

effects in targeted wildlife.

Additionally, APHIS is conducting the final year of a small-scale project during October in Chattanooga, Tenn., to evaluate the effectiveness of ONRAB’s distribution methods. APHIS wildlife biologists will sample raccoons and skunks following bait distribution to determine vaccination rates.

Field evaluation of ONRAB during 2023 is a collaborative effort among APHIS, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the vaccine manufacturer (Artemis Technologies Inc., an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Ceva Sante Animale S.A., Guelph, Ontario, Canada), and state departments of agriculture, health and natural resources.

Bait distribution. Throughout the month of August, distribution of this ORV bait will take place in the following counties in Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia:

Ohio: Ashtabula, Belmont, Carroll, Columbiana, Geauga, Harrison, Jefferson, Lake, Mahoning, Monroe, Portage and Trumbull counties

Pennsylvania: Allegheny, Beaver,

Crawford, Erie, Greene, Lawrence, Mercer, Washington and Westmoreland counties

West Virginia: Barbour, Brooke, Doddridge, Greenbrier, Fayette, Hancock, Harrison, Lewis, Marion, Marshall, McDowell, Mercer, Monongalia, Nicholas, Ohio, Pocahontas, Raleigh, Randolph, Summers, Taylor, Tyler, Upshur, Webster, Wetzel and Wyoming counties

The ONRAB bait is a blister pack filled with the vaccine and coated with a sweet attractant. When an animal bites into one of the baits, it will release the vaccine into their mouth and, with an adequate dose, develop immunity to rabies.

Humans and pets cannot get rabies from contact with the bait but are asked to leave the bait undisturbed if they encounter it.

If contact with bait occurs, the contact area should be immediately rinsed with warm water and soap. An intact bait is harmless, but it’s difficult to know if the bait was leaking vaccine while on the ground.

Each bait carries a toll-free number that people can call if they have additional questions concerning a bait contact.

Touched by gold, in nature and life

After the male’s departure, the next evening the female takes flight, depositing her golden eggs on the appropriate host plants. One of this species’ favorite foods is white pine. This makes for interesting observation as the stunning caterpillars gobble down one needle at a time, gently bending it back to make feeding easier.

Unfortunately, mature giant silk moths have no mouth parts, thus they cannot feed. Their sole mission is to mate and lay eggs before passing away around eight days of age. It is sad that the most beautiful stage of this golden moth’s life cycle is also the shortest. Golden opportunities. Gold has touched me as well! I have received an opportunity to share my nature knowledge with you in the form of a weekly column.

From a very young age, nurtured by my parents, my life has revolved around nature. At the age of eight, I began tagging monarch butterflies for Dr. Fred Urquhart in Toronto, Canada.

In 1975, Fred’s efforts to discover where migrating monarchs traveled to spend the winter paid off when the overwintering sites in Mexico were discovered. I remember receiving that special letter from Fred that he sent out to all of his volunteers, announcing the big discovery. Butterflies and moths have always been a huge part of my life and continue to be today.

During my college tenure at Ohio Northern University, I learned the art of bird banding. A spring internship at Crane Creek Wildlife Research Station further cemented my interest, and 30 years later, my license has enabled me to conduct

some very unique projects.

Shortly after graduating, I returned to Geauga County in northeast Ohio and took a job with Geauga Park District where my love of nature was fulfilled in so many ways.

As a naturalist, I was able to educate people of all ages through hikes and presentations. As a biologist, I conducted loads of research projects and developed a popular citizen science program with enthusiastic volunteers willing to help me with my work.

In 2020, I retired from a 31-year career. I have heard that many retirees find themselves bored or lost following retirement, but I have never been busier. There is always plenty of work to be done on our small farm which is home to mules, goats, poultry and our beloved dogs. My hobbies, including nature photography, pollinator gardening, Lepidoptera rearing and birding, to name just a few, keep me forever on the move.

Farm and Dairy has been such an important publication in my life. As the owner of a farm, it is a neverending source of important and interesting information.

Raccoon rabies program begins in Allegheny County

As a nature lover, there was never a better column to read than that of Scott Shalaway. Every week, I would begin by opening the paper to his piece, anxious to glean information from his interesting articles. Shalaway was a treasure trove of information on so many subjects.

To say I was disappointed when he retired is an understatement. Although I look forward to filling a niche, I could never begin to measure up to such an amazing person with so many accomplishments.

I am simply thrilled to be able to impart a bit of my knowledge and a few of my photos each week in hopes that you might learn something new. It is a golden opportunity I embrace with excitement.

(A lifelong resident of Geauga County in Northeast Ohio, Tami Gingrich recently retired from a 31-year career as a Biologist/Field Naturalist with Geauga Park District. She has been a licensed bird bander for over 30 years. Her hobbies include photography, lepidoptera, gardening and spending time with her husband on their small farm in Middlefield, Ohio. She welcomes any questions or comments at Royalwalnutmoth@gmail.com and will gladly consider suggestions for future articles.)

PITTSBURGH — The Allegheny County Health Department and the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Wildlife Services began the county’s annual Raccoon Rabies Vaccination Baiting Program July 24.

Over the course of the five-week project, crews will distribute more than 300,000 baits in all 130 Allegheny County municipalities. Bait will be spread by hand throughout this week, and aircraft, including helicopters and fixed-wing airplanes, will distribute bait until Sept. 1.

Information for residents. As part of the program, residents might see low-flying, slow-moving aircraft pass over the same area multiple times.

The baits consist of a small blister packet that contains a liquid vaccine inside. The bait is coated in fishmeal or a waxy, vanilla-flavored coating that attracts raccoons. Most of the baits will be consumed within five days of distribution.

Residents should avoid contact with the bait. However, if a resident comes in contact with the bait or the liquid vaccine inside, they should wash their hands and any other exposed area of skin with

soap and water. In the unlikely event a rash develops, residents should contact their healthcare provider, immediately.

The baits are not harmful to pets. Still, residents are asked to keep their pets inside, or on leash, so they do not eat the baits before raccoons can ingest them. To ensure raccoons are hungry, the ACHD also asks residents to bring food sources indoors and that garbage containers have secure lids. Rabies. Rabies is a virus transmitted by animal bites or scratches. Exposures due to a bite or scratch are almost always fatal when left untreated. Any resident bitten, scratched or exposed to saliva from a stray or any other animal, should immediately cleanse the contact area with soap and water, seek emergency medical treatment and contact the health department by calling 412687-2243 to report the incident.

The Raccoon Rabies Vaccination Baiting Program has aimed to reduce the number of confirmed rabies cases in Allegheny County for 22 years. For more information, visit alleghenycounty.us/raccoon.

Farm and Dairy would like to remind you to SELL SMART.

BEWARE OF POTENTIAL BUYING SCAMS

Here are two situations where you need to be alarmed and vigilant

1. If the buyer of your equipment refuses to speak to you over the phone or in-person. Most buying scams happen via text messages and/or email.

2. If the buyer sends you a check in an amount HIGHER than the agreed upon price of your equipment, and then asks you (the seller) to refund the overpayment via wire transfer.

REMEMBER THE OLD ADAGE: IF IT SOUNDS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE, IT PROBABLY IS!

If this or a similar scam has happened to you, please do not hesitate to contact Farm and Dairy at 800-837-3419 or contact the Consumer Protection Division of the Attorney General of your state.
