Junior dairy management contest challenges youth

by Sally Colby Feed costs are an important factor impacting dairy profitability. What are two strategies that producers can implement to lower feed costs but maintain milk yield and minimize animal health concerns on the dairy?

That question and about a dozen more were part of the interview segment of the

junior dairy management contest held recently at the All-American Dairy Show.

This year’s contest drew 65 participants, the highest number ever. Dr. Sandy Costello, milk quality and mastitis specialist, says that this year’s event is the 25th year the contest has been offered.

The contest is an opportunity for youth (ages 14 to 18) to test their knowledge of

dairy cattle welfare, housing, feeds and management.

“Every year the contest is different,” said Costello. “The advisory committee gets together to decide what to offer. The contest typically has sections in feeds, nutrition and dairy business. Other stations include judging, dairy housing and ventilation and animal well-being.”

This year the contest included a section on linear type evaluation, which is a quantitative assessment of dairy cattle.

Contestants are provided with linear information on three cows, and then evaluate those cows in the ring. Contestants also judged a group of four dairy cows in a typical judging contest scenario.

Costello says that Dr. Carl Brown, who set up the feeds and nutrition station, has been involved with the contest since its inception. “He’s very passionate about the contest,” said Costello, adding that the contest is sponsored mostly by industries. Farm financial specialist Mark Douglass designed the dairy business section of the competition, and Penn State ag engineer Dr. Dan McFarland set up a section on dairy housing and ventilation. Penn State extension veterinarian Dr. Dave Wolfgang quizzed participants on animal well-being.

Contestants for both the dairy judging contest and the junior dairy management contest evaluated and placed several classes of heifers.

Teams for the competition are assembled within state organizations, often usually FFA and 4-H. Teams of three or four youth can enter, or youth can compete as individuals. Awards are given for both teams and individuals. “There were 14 teams — more than we’ve ever had,” said Costello. “We had more FFA teams this year, and some of those were new to the contest.” Costello credits Berks County, Pennsylvania ag teacher Christine Williams for promoting the contest throughout FFA groups. “We have some new ag teachers who have dairy farms, and they’re very interested in the contest. I’m excited about that — it means that of all the priorities they have for teaching, they’re spending time on dairy management.” Costello says the committee is trying to encourage more participants to compete, including home-schooled youth or other youth who aren’t involved with FFA or 4-H. Content for the contest is arranged on a wiki site. Coaches can use this material to help prepare contestants for the competition. “Each of the instructors gives us resource material,” said Costello. “To prepare for the contest, they can download materials from the wiki site (jrdairymanagementcontest.pbworks.c om), or go to Web sites that have been recommended by instructors.”

Results for 4-H teams (4 teams): 1st place: New York State/Cornell University state 4-H team, 647 points; 2nd place: Wayne Co. Ohio Team A, 631.5 points; 3rd place: Dairy Dandies (New Jersey) 4-H Club, 627 points; 4th place: Wayne Co. Ohio Team B, 307.5 points.

Results for FFA teams (14 teams): 1st place: Big Spring FFA Team A (Cumberland Co, PA), 587 points; 2nd place: Athens FFA Team (Bradford Co, PA), 558.5 points; 3rd place: Tri-Valley FFA Team A (Schuylkill Co, PA), 552.5 points; 4th place: West Perry FFA Team A (Perry Co, PA), 538.5 points; 5th place: Tulpehocken FFA (Berks Co, PA), 535 points.

The top five individuals who scored highest at the management stations are interviewed on specific current events in the dairy industry. High-scoring individuals include 1st: Diane Gress, Wayne County Ohio; 2nd: Samantha Bliss, Captain Jack FFA (Huntingdon Co, PA); 3rd: Erik Shelmidine, New York State; 4th: Ben Shughart, Cumberland Co, PA 4-H; 5th Cody Bear, Big Spring FFA (Cumberland Co, PA).

up to enjoy the event, which highlighted agriculture in Fulton County.

Nearly 20 vendors showed up with crafts, seasonal flowers, honey, maple syrup, pumpkins and other produce displayed. Tractors and other farm machinery were also on display. However, much attention focused on the variety of young livestock exhibited — including some unusual American British White Park calves that were brought in by 17 year-old Mitchell Brower and his dad Mark, of Mountain View Farm in Mayfield, NY. “This is great exposure for agriculture,” commented the senior Brower, adding that many people had never seen this breed of beef cattle before. Brower and his family have been showing the unusual breed — with excellent results — for about 8 years.

A pair of 7 month-old black Scottish Highlanders owned by Puthaven Farms was also on display, and children tentatively touched the thick, shaggy, black, curly hair of the animals — looking twice at the horns before touching the friendly animals.

The petting “zoo” was a tremendous hit with children and adults. Donkeys and calves of several different breeds delighted children and they stretched their arms between the bars of the gates to pet them.

Ten year-old Jennifer Keehan of 4-H Country Pals, Glen, NY showed off her Brown Swiss calf, which she had raised herself. Keehan also displayed a variety of chickens that she keeps and cares for as part of her 4-H responsibilities. Some of the breeds she had brought included Americana, Silkies, Rhode Island Reds, and Barred Plymouth Rock. She allowed attendees to hold and pet them.

All of Keehan’s chickens had names and were pets.

Horse and wagon rides provided by Fritz Ann and Butch Miner and Tamara Healy’s Classic Carriage Rides drew in hundreds of people and the lines continued to be long all day long.

“There were at least 400 adults,” reported Rogers. “Since children 5 yearsold and under were free, we didn’t get a total count.”

Rogers also reported that Whitey’s Smoked Apple BBQ had sold out. “They

by Elizabeth A. Tomlin Saturated ground and continuing rain did not discourage, nor subdue, the spirit of the Oct. 2, Fulton County’s 2nd annual Day on the Farm at Rogers’ Family Orchard, Johnstown, NY. Agriculture representatives and planning committee members donned brave faces as the rain poured down on the umbrellas carried by attendees, shielding them from the onslaught of Mother Nature. Children in raincoats and rubber boots splashed in the mud

and parents threw up their hands in surrender to the elements. Then, as if in answer to everyone’s prayers, the clouds parted and allowed the sun to shine over the rest of the day.

“It didn’t look good at the start,” laughed Sam Rogers, who hosted the event along with her husband Todd, and could be seen rushing through the rain to help the vendors with last minute details. “It sure turned out well enough, though!”

said they will definitely be back next year!” Rogers said. In addition, 30 gallons of ice cream, which Stewart’s had donated, was dispensed during the 4hour event.

Over at the Fulton County Dairy Promotion booth, informative pamphlets, yogurt, and cheese samples were being distributed to the attendees.

“In spite of the weather we have seen quite a few people today who have tried almost 400 samples of Cabot cheese and 150 cups of various flavors of Fage yogurt,” said Maureen Clapper, Chair of the Fulton County Dairy Princess program.

“We’ve definitely had a good turnout! It stopped raining, the sun is shining, and it turned out to be a good day!”

Although the Fulton County Dairy Princess was out of town, the Montgomery County Dairy Princess Gabrielle Brownell filled in for her, handing out the samples of cheese and yogurt. “We have developed a wonderful working relationship with Fage, the local Greek yogurt manufacturer here in Fulton County. They have been very supportive with providing samples for our events and we want to make sure we support them — and all of our local dairy producers,” Brownell said. “We want to get out our message of three servings every day of milk, cheese or yogurt.”

“When you buy dairy, you should buy local,” Clapper said, “whether it’s yogurt, cheese, or fluid milk!”

“This event is very worthwhile,” said Gloversville Ward 2 Supervisor Frank Lauria, who was browsing through the literature at the booth. “It brings out a lot of people, it brings out a lot of knowledge of agriculture and what these people do in the community.” Lauria said he had served on the board of Cornell Cooperative Extension for a few years.

“With people being several generations removed from farming in general, it’s good for them to get out and talk to the farmers and share this experience,” Lauria said.

This event was held in cooperation with Fulton County Farm Bureau, Soil & Water Conservation, Chamber of Commerce, Stewart’s, Cornell Cooperative Extension and local agricultural producers Rogers’ Family Orchard is located at 260 Co Hwy 131, Johnstown, NY. Tentative plans for the 2012 Fulton County Day at the Farm are in the works. If you are interested in taking part of this agricultural event please contact Kevin Putman at 518-725-8755.

by Jay Girvin, ESQ., Girvin & Ferlazzo. P.C., Albany, NY Q. I offer guided horseback riding to the public for a fee. Can I limit my liability by requiring riders to sign a release?

A. While horseback riding has always been a popular recreational pursuit, the activity presents a number of inherent risks of injury that are simply beyond the control of even the most careful owner or operator. The prior horseback riding experience of a customer can vary greatly, and an inexperienced rider is more likely to have difficulty mounting, dismounting, or controlling the horse. The animals themselves can be unpredictable and may without warning kick or throw a rider. Customers injured as a result of a horseback riding accident often file lawsuits claiming that their injuries were the result of negligence on the part of the owner or operator.

To limit this potential liability, many horseback riding operators re-

quire customers to sign a “pre-accident” release which exempts the operator from liability for any accidents or injuries that may result from the activity, even if resulting from the operator’s negligence. These releases, however, may not be strictly enforceable under New York law.

General Obligations Law § 5-326 renders void as against public policy any agreement or contract between the owner of a “recreational” facility and a user who has paid a fee for admission to, or use of, that facility which exempts the owner or operator from liability for damages caused by the owner’s negligence. The original intent of the statute was to address language commonly found on the back of admission tickets, usually in very small print, which provided that by accepting the ticket the ticket holder agreed to release the operator of the facility from any liability or damages. This practice was considered unfair, since most fee-paying users

were unaware that by simply accepting admission to the facility, they were absolving the owner or operator from any negligence and waiving their right to pursue a claim.

Although the original purpose of Section 5-326 was to address “small print” releases on the back of admissions tickets, the statute applies equally to void any release obtained by the owner or operator of a recreational facility who charges admission or otherwise collects a fee from a user.

Courts have interpreted the statute broadly to cover a wide variety of recreational facilities and other establishments.

For example, at first glance horseback riding would not appear to be covered by the statute since the activity of horseback riding does not take place in a “facility.” However, New York courts have held that the term “recreational facility” is broad enough to cover fee-based recreational activities that take place outdoors.

While the statute applies to recreational activities, courts have held that it does not apply to “instructional” activities.

If the horseback riding is offered as part of an instructional or training program, for example,

Section 5-326 would not apply and any release signed by the student/customer would be enforceable. The fact that some form of instruction or guidance may be involved as part of the horseback riding activity, however, does not necessarily mean that the activity will be considered instructional in nature. If the instruction is simply collateral to the otherwise recreational purpose of the activity (for example, a trail guide demonstrating to a customer the proper way to mount a horse), Section 5-326 would likely still be deemed to apply.

Although likely unenforceable under General Obligations Law § 5-326, a pre-accident release signed by a customer may nevertheless provide a basis for limiting the potential liability of an owner or operator.

New York law has long recognized that many recreational activities carry an inherent risk of injury to those who chose to participate. Under the “assumption of risk” doctrine, a person who voluntarily participates in a recreational activity is deemed to have accepted the risks of injury that are inherent in the activity, thereby limiting the liability of an owner or operator if such injuries occur.

Application of the assumption of risk doctrine often turns on the question of whether the participant understood and appreciated the risks inherent in the recreational

activity. In that regard, having a customer review and sign a pre-activity release will ensure that the participant was fully informed of the potential risks of injury inherent in the activity, and voluntarily elected to participate notwithstanding those risks. Even if the release turns out to be unenforceable under General Obligations Law § 5-326, the release will provide strong evidence that the customer was warned that he or she was about to participate in a potentially risky activity, and the owner or operator should get the benefit of the assumption of risk doctrine.

IDFA — Let’s tell the whole story!

A recent news release by the International Dairy Foods Association (IDFA) clearly illustrates to me that one more time IDFA is attempting to confuse consumers regarding what is really taking place within the dairy industry.

It is ludicrous for anyone in IDFA in an attempt to tie the price that consumers pay for milk to the national debt.

Yes, the Federal Government did create the Federal Milk Marketing Orders during the 1930s. But, why did they do it?

The main reason was the fact that many dairy farmers continually found themselves at the mercy of the majority of milk processors.

Basically the milk processors decided what price they would pay the dairy farmers for their milk. In addition, many processors had no problem telling dairy farmers they no longer needed the dairy farmers’ milk.

The FMMOs have various responsibilities including but, not limited to: attempting to ensure the orderly marketing of milk, and establishing minimum prices that milk handlers must pay dairy farmers.

At the same time, various states have adopted laws, that ensures dairy farmers they cannot lose their market for their milk, without an adequate notice.

What consumers must understand is that FMMOs do not establish milk prices for consumers. However, in all fairness, the minimum milk prices the FMMOs establish for dairy farmers does have some bearing on what consumers pay for milk. However, please remember the price that consumers pay for milk also reflects the cost of operating a bot-

tling plant along with the distribution of the milk to various outlets. The FMMOs have no jurisdiction over these costs that bottler’s incur. In addition, dairy farmers pay for a substantial amount of the cost of moving milk from the dairy farm to the milk plant. So — I say to IDFA, let’s tell the whole story!

Let’s move onto the milk manufacturing plants. First — let’s make one thing clear. The average dairy farmer clearly understands and respects the need of milk bottling plants and milk manufacturing plants. What dairy farmers ask for is the same respect from operators of the milk plants. (and I do understand we have respect from a few of them.)

Back to the manufacturing plants.

Since Jan. 1, 2000, when Federal Order Reform took place, the new pricing formula the USDA uses allows approximately $2 per cwt be deducted from the pricing formula. This money is used for milk manufacturing plants to cover their cost of operation. And now both IDFA and many dairy co-ops want the entire milk pricing formula discarded.

In its place they want the U.S. Congress to give them the authority to have what is called a competitive pricing system that allows the manufacturing plant operators to establish a price they will pay dairy farmers for their milk.

This price will be lowered to dairy farmers in order for an operator of a milk plant to cover their cost.

Sounds like pre-1930’s pricing system to me.

I notice that IDFA tends to support dairy bills that call for insurance programs, and in all probability is subsidized by the U.S. Government. Dairy farmers do not need or want more

by Katie Navarra Dairy cattle are not typically candidates for surgery to mend fractured bones. However, at Welcome Stock Farm in Schuylerville, NY, Welcome Bookem ETTY-ET is one of several calves that have benefited from surgery.

“Welcome Bookem ETTY-ET suffered a fractured front leg. Her mother stepped on her leg right after she was born,” said Bill Peck Jr. Because of the calf’s breeding and the Peck’s high genomic expectations for her, they asked friend and equine veterinarian, Steve Sedrish, owner of Upstate Equine Medical Center, to surgically mend the calf’s leg. She was casted and kept in a stall by herself for several weeks. The gamble paid off. “She is currently ranked number 5 in the entire Holstein breed right now. At 2 1/2 months old we have already contracted 28 of her embryos,” Peck said.

Welcome Stock Farm, owned and operated by Bill Peck Sr. (fifth generation) and his two sons Bill Jr. and Neil, have embraced genomics and is committed to developing a strong maternal line with high genomic values. Calves, heifers, bulls and embryos produced at Welcome Stock Farm are shipped all over the world. Welcome Stock GarterET, the 2001 top Holstein bull, has produced over 15,000 offspring that reside in 17 different countries. The farm also produced Welcome Radon-ET, the current elite RZG bull in Germany. “Welcome Stock Farm may be the only farm in North America that had the number one TPI/PTI ranked bull in two different breeds,” Bill Jr. explained, “Welcome Choice Admiral, Guernsey in 1982 and 1983, and Welcome Garter-ET, Holstein in 2001.”

As early as the 1980’s Bill Sr. was implementing embryo transfer procedures, which laid the ground work for today’s breeding program at the farm.

The sale of breeding stock accounts for nearly 15 percent of the farm’s annual income. Originally, Bill Sr.’s father raised registered Guernsey cattle. It was not until the mid to late 1960’s that the herd transitioned over the registered Holsteins, the breed of focus on the farm. Six-hundred milking cows and 650 young stock make up the herd. Milking in the double seven herringbone parlor takes place 24 hours a day with the milk shipping to the Agri-Mark Co-op ending up at cheese or butter for Cabot or McCadum products.

While Bill Sr. was an early adopter of selective breeding and specialization, he remembers the earlier years on the farm as a young boy and a teenager, when diversity was key to survival on the farm. Founded in 1836 by Bill’s great-great grandfather, Henry, Welcome Stock Farm grew a variety of crops and raised several types of livestock.

“We had apple trees, and a beehive and a saw mill in the 1940s,” he reminisced, “we had horses and sheep and a few cows back then.”

Prior to the first tractor arriving on the farm in the 1940s, teams of draft horses were harnessed and used in the fields. “In my teens I went and raked hay with the old mare and a half broke colt tied to her side,” he said, “we raised draft horses then. (Of all the changes) I miss the horses most.”

Even though the apple orchards and the saw mill are long gone, Welcome Stock Farm still uses a sheep shed built in the late 1800s for storage. Though

the Peck’s do not know exactly when it was built, the year 1907 is etched in shingles on the roof signifying when the roof was replaced. A second barn from the same time period also bears reminders of the early years. “My grandmother painted the silhouette of the horse head on the door,” he reminisced, “we’re taking the barn down this year, but we’ll be saving the door.”

At the 2011 World Dairy Expo held in Madison, WI, Oct. 4-8, Bill Peck Sr. was honored by the National Dairy Shrine with the Distinguished Dairy Cattle Breeder Award for his lifelong commitment and service to agriculture and for his dedication to breeding top-flight

cattle.

Throughout the last 175 years, Welcome Stock Farm has experienced a multitude of changes including design changes in the milking parlor, the addition of new barns, updates to the facilities and specialization of crops. But what has not changed is the Peck family’s dedication to raising quality, registered Holsteins and to agriculture as a whole. The Peck family legacy is likely to continue with seventh generation Hansen, Hudson and Hayden who, although are young, already enjoy riding in the tractor’s buddy seats with grandpa and checking on the herd with their father and Uncle Neil.

insurance. What the majority of dairy farmers want is a price from the market place that will cover the average cost of production and return the dairymen a profit.

This philosophy can only be found in the Casey Bill, S-1640. IDFA should take a hard look at S-1640 and realize there are several benefits in the bill that aid milk handlers. Thousands of consumers say they like the content of the Federal Milk Marketing Improvement Act, whether it was last years version or the new version called S-1640.

By the way, now that IDFA has listed the groups that belong to the parent

organization, I would strongly urge IDFA to encourage their ice cream manufacturers to return to manufacturing the popular 1/2 gallons of ice cream.

Most manufacturers of ice cream have eliminated the 1/2 gallon and gone now to 1.75 quarts or 1.5 quarts of ice cream. No, they haven’t fooled the public; the consumers want the 1/2 gallon.

You know what? The industry would start using more milk and cream with the larger containers. Not a bad idea!

by Paris Reidhead Field Crops Consultant USDA and FDA OK Enogen Last month the U.S. Departments of Agriculture and Food and Drug Administration approved a unique genetically modified variety of corn for deregulation, meaning it was given a green light to be marketed in our country with basically no restrictions. The novel variety was developed by a large multi-national corporation headquartered in Switzerland; since every person deserves some anonymity, let me call this corporation Mini-Giant. Corporations are considered (at least in the U.S.) to be persons. And this particular corporation is very big and is home-based in a mini country.

For two reasons, I find it interesting that MiniGiant has developed major corn biotechnology: first, the vast majority of European citizenry resists genetic engineering; secondly, all of Switzerland grows less corn than one of New York State’s better corn counties (of course, that European nation is roughly the size of Vermont and Connecticut combined).

For a country to host the development of technology which will be used minimally by its own residents could seem a bit hypocritical. But business is business, and that’s one arena in which the Swiss outperform most other nations.

The corn, which is called Enogen, is one of the first crops genetically engineered to contain a trait that influences use of the plant after harvest.

Virtually all past biotech crops have had traits like insect resistance and herbicide tolerance, aimed at helping farmers more than manufacturers or consumers. Thus Enogen is the most prominent one to date to be engineered solely for industrial purposes.

The corn contains a microbial gene that produces an enzyme that breaks down corn starch into sugar, the first step toward making ethanol.

Ethanol manufacturers now buy this enzyme, called alpha amylase, in liquid form and add it to the corn at the start of production. Mini-Giant says that having the crop

(Contact: renrock46@hotmail.com)

make the enzyme for its own breakdown — selfprocessing corn, so to speak — will increase ethanol output while reducing the use of water, energy and chemicals in the production process.

This Swiss company, which is primarily a seed producer and pesticide manufacture, said it would take various measures to prevent the corn from getting into the food supply.

Amylase gets its name because it chemically degrades a sugar called amylose, as well as some other short-chain carbohydrates which are considered starches. In biology any term which ends in -ase, quite consistently is an enzyme. Alpha amylase is also the main enzyme in human saliva and is also produced by the human pancreas.

Human salivary amylase is critical in the first stages of our digestion; its function is to enable us to consume foods with more starch, i.e., plants. Almost without exception, humans produce more salivary alpha amylase than any other non-ruminant mammal.

I find that pieces of vegetable or grain that get stuck in my teeth will degrade before too long, because of their high levels of starches and sugars.

However, when pieces of meat get stuck, that’s a different story. The muscle tissue in meat consists of highly complicated chains of amino acids, quite immune to amylase. This is when I get out the dental floss.

Few on the American food production scene greet Ecogen with open arms; after all, Ecogen is not marketed as a food: it’s a fuel source first and a feed source second (distillers wet and dried grains). The novel seeds’ advocates run head-on into environmental zealot groups like Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS), and Center for Food Safety (CFS). “This is StarLink all over again,” said UCS’ Margaret Mellon. She was referring to the 2000 incident when a genetically modified corn approved only for animal use got into the human food supply, prompting huge recalls and disrupting American exports. One

difference, however, is that unlike StarLink, Mini-Giant’s new corn is approved for food use.

Pennsylvania has been given an 18-month extension from the federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for issuing and regulating Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations (CAFO) General Permits.

Pennsylvania’s current

program for general National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permitting of CAFOs was set to expire on Sept. 30, raising concerns among farmers that Pennsylvania was being pressured to eliminate general permits for

CAFOs. If eliminated, farmers would need to go through a more complex and costly process of obtaining NPDES permits in

order to meet federal requirements. The current extension authorizes Pennsylvania’s Department of Environmental

Protection to continue to issue CAFO permits through March 31, 2013.

During that 18-month period, operators with ex-

isting permits should not be required to make any changes to their permits.

statutory requirements for approval, in that it

was not a pest that would harm plants. FDA had earlier found the corn safe to eat.

One non-environmental group actively opposing Ecogen is the North American Millers’ Association (NAMA). They warned that if the industrial corn cross-pollinated with or were mixed with corn used for food, it could lead to crumbly corn chips, soggy cereal, loaves of bread with soupy centers and corn dogs with inadequate coatings.

In a prepared statement several weeks ago, NAMA complained, “If this corn is co-mingled with other corn, it will have significant adverse impacts on food product quality and performance”; moreover, that it could “damage the quality of food products like breakfast cereals, snack foods and battered products.”

NAMA, which represents 43 companies, in-

cluding giants like General Mills, ConAgra, and Archer Daniels Midland, emphasized that MiniGiant’s own data indicated that as little as one alpha-amylase corn kernel mixed with 10,000 conventional kernels could be enough to weaken the corn starch and disrupt food processing operations.

Many in the food industry worry that if the amylase corn is found in food supplies it could lead to recalls or disrupt exports (like StarLink did). MiniGiant says the amylase is not active when the kernel is intact; it is most active at certain levels of temperature, acidity and moisture found in ethanol factories, but rarely in factories that make corn starch, corn syrup or corn chips. Ecogen contains a synthetic gene derived from micro-organisms that live near hotwater vents on the ocean’s floor. This fact makes the enzyme stable at the high temperatures used in making ethanol.

Not surprisingly, the National Corn Growers Association (NCGA) applauded the corn’s approval by USDA and FDA. What I find intriguing is that most NAMA members also belong to NCGA. The new corn should help lower the cost to produce ethanol, and could persuade more farmers to grow ethanol corn over food corn. With roughly 40 percent of U.S. corn acreage already devoted to ethanol production, that type of competition could result in higher market costs for foods made with corn. Earlier this year, the National Pork Producers Council was concerned that we could already face a corn shortage if the 2011 crop was not up to expectations (which it isn’t). Increased world demand and foreign crop shortfalls have already impacted corn supply. Bio-Giant’s intense enthusiasm for marketing its biotechnology overseas… and mostly on our soil… bares strong resemblance to chickens trying to convince pigs that American agriculture would greatly benefit from more and more ham and eggs being eaten at breakfast.

Free trade agreements win Congressional passage; dairy to benefit with greater market access The National Milk Producers Federation (NMPF) and the U.S. Dairy Export Council (USDEC) applaud the passage Oct. 12 by the House and Senate of three free trade agreements (FTAs) with South Korea, Panama and Colombia.

“We wish to thank President Obama and his trade team, and leaders in both houses of Congress, who worked hard in recent months to make these favorable votes possible,” said Jerry Kozak, president and chief executive officer of NMPF. “The FTAs will expand U.S. dairy exports and, when fully implemented, will create thousands of export-supporting jobs in the dairy industry,” said Tom Suber, president, USDEC. “We hope that all necessary steps can be taken in the coming months by all four countries so that the agreements may enter into force at the beginning of the year and benefits to the U.S. economy can begin to be felt immediately.”

“The U.S. dairy industry stands ready to assist in any way possible to help ensure that the FTAs take effect as soon as possible,” added Kozak.

“Our producers are excited about the new export opportunities that will be realized once the agreements take effect, especially the trade pact with South Korea. The export gain for dairy from the Korea FTA in the first few

years after implementation will be approximately $380 million per year, on average, and the gains from the Colombia and Panama FTAs will add another $50 million annually.”

Suber pointed out that the agreements will not only help expand export sales for such products as cheese, whey, skim milk powder, and other dairy products, they also will prevent foreign competitors from taking market shares that the U.S. industry has developed in each of the countries in collaboration with USDEC. “In international trade, unless we continue to move forward, we risk falling behind our competitors,” he said. “These agreements will ensure that, for America’s dairy farmers and processors, export sales will continue to expand, not contract.”

The leaders noted that the agreements are all about giving dairy farmers greater market opportunities and better prices so that more can remain profitably in business. But Kozak also pointed out that it is not solely about bolstering milk prices for producers; it is also about expanding sales and jobs in the dairy processing and transportation sectors. “We estimate that as many as 10,000 additional jobs, both on and off the farm could be created by the Korea agreement alone,” he said.

Newsletter of Penn Dutch Cow Care

by Hubert J. Karreman Hi Folks, So, it’s getting time to bring the animals inside for the seasonal change towards winter at some point soon. But which animals are we talking about?

Certainly the milking cows will be in more as we tend to give them the most attention. But what about the young stock? Often times we let the bred heifers stay outside with a place for them to bed down and be out of the elements and that’s good. But how about the younger heifers? Oftentimes people want to bring them back inside after the grazing season is done for some reason. But why? That fresh air they have been getting is so much better for them than stale barn air or shared barn air with the milking herd.

As a rule, I would say that young stock

should not come back into the barn until they freshen since they are at risk for pneumonia if stuck inside all winter with the older animals.

So should we vaccinate animals at this time of year? It’s a common practice to do so. In some ways it is admitting that the indoor living isn’t as good as the outdoors on pasture, right? Like I have come to realize, the best vaccination program is one that is based on fresh air, high forage diets and dry bedding and dry bedding and dry bedding. (That wasn’t a typing mistake.) At least that is for respiratory health. Another important way to prevent respiratory problems in stabled animals is to put them outside every day for as long as possible. This allows them to breathe in fresh air just as we like to every day. Remember that the cattle

breeds we have are from northern climates and like temperatures between 20-50°F (-5 to +10 C). There is no need to keep them in when it is 22°F if the sun is shining, there is little wind and the footing is not slippery. On the other hand, the worst possible weather for cattle to be in is when it is raining and barely above freezing. They will lose body condition fast. If young stock are carrying an internal parasite burden, or if they have poor body condition due to not enough feed and energy intake, they will likely break with pneumonia.

Young stock with such issues will also break with pneumonia when put inside and especially if the bedding becomes damp and they are in a cinder block or wooden building with windows high above them only. If this is unavoidable, then vaccinating with one of the intranasal vaccines is best as it gives quick protection (within a few days) and will last a few months. I have always liked the idea of the intranasal vaccines if only because they mimic the real way respiratory germs typically gain entrance to the body — through the nose. Otherwise, structures with excellent air movement just above the height of the animals but which allow no drafts at bedding level (such as curtain barns, hoop houses or large super hutches) are great for keeping weaned animals and bred heifers in.

Do we need to vaccinate if we are abiding by the “high forage diet, fresh air and dry bedding” rule? That depends on some factors. First, what do you want to vaccinate for? Is it the res-

piratory bugs mainly? If so, read the above again.

If vaccinating is for reproductive bugs, then we may want to consider it, depending again on some factors.

First, what kind of reproductive problems, if any, have been occurring?

There will always be a few cows that don’t settle easily. What about cows called pregnant around day 35-40 and then come back into heat a month later? Or actual abortions seen — how many in what size herd and during what time span? In a 50 cow herd, it would not be unreasonable to see one spontaneous abortion over a year or maybe two if they are far apart. If you see 2-3 abortions in a 50 cow herd within a month or two, I would start wondering what is going on. Typically, cows that abort at 1-3 months pregnancy may be challenged by BVD, at 4-6 months pregnancy they may be challenged by BVD or Lepto and at 6-8 months pregnancy they may be challenged by Neospora. And if many cows are showing irregular heat cycles or perhaps have been bred but come back in heat not on a 21 day cycle, BVD could be an issue.

Testing of the aborted calf and two blood samples from the cow (at time of abortion and 3 weeks later) will give the best possible information from a lab. Or, if there are no abortions, but irregular heats or cows are not settling, then drawing blood from at least 10 percent of the animals in the herd (testing the problem animals) can re-

FEMA disaster aid is Oct. 31 ALBANY, NY — New York State and federal officials remind those who were affected by Hurricane Irene that they have only one week left to register with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for possible federal disaster assistance.

It’s important that those who may need to register for aid do so as soon as possible. Registrations cannot be accepted after the Oct. 31 deadline.

“Registration keeps open the possibility of a wide range of assistance,” said Philip E. Parr, FEMA Federal Coordinating Officer. “If your insurance coverage comes up short, or other damage appears later, you need to be registered with FEMA to be considered for disaster assistance.”

To register, call the FEMA Helpline at 800-621-3362. Phone lines are open from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. ET, seven days

a week until further notice. People with hearing disabilities can use the TTY number, 800-462-7585. Applicants can also register online at www.DisasterAssistance.gov or with any web-enabled mobile device or smartphone at m.fema.gov. Follow the link to “apply online for federal assistance.”

The registration period and the deadline apply to the major federal disaster declaration signed by President

Barack Obama on Aug. 31 that enabled residents and business owners in Albany, Bronx, Clinton, Columbia, Delaware, Dutchess, Essex, Greene, Herkimer, Kings, Montgomery, Nassau, Orange, Otsego, Putnam, Queens, Rensselaer, Richmond, Rockland, Saratoga, Schenectady, Schoharie, Suffolk, Sullivan, Ulster, Warren, Washington and Westchester counties to register for federal recovery aid.

Moo from A11 veal what the problem may be. While an aborted fetus is looked at under the microscope and samples are taken to identify any bugs that may be present, blood samples from cows are generally checked for antibodies to bugs. Antibodies to bugs like lepto, IBR, BVD and neospora reveal to what degree the cow’s immune system has responded to a challenge from those bugs.

The results are presented as titers. The higher the titer, the more likely the bug causing the titer was involved with the problem. However, if you have a vaccinated herd, those results could be from the vaccine since vaccines mimic natural exposure and cause the animal’s immune system to respond. This is good for when the animals are truly exposed to the real bug, their immune system is ready to neutralize the challenge immediately. Looking at the titers of animals that haven’t been vaccinated in a number of years is very useful for results showing any high titers will be meaningful since it indicates that the animals have seen the real challenge by the bugs themselves and are reacting to them.

Be aware that trying to vaccinate your way out of a problem may or may not work. It probably is a reasonably good idea if

Lepto hardjo is involved as that is difficult to get rid of it otherwise. But if BVD is floating around in a herd, vaccinating may give a false sense of security. This is because of a possible Persistently Infected (PI) BVD animal present. These animals are born with BVD and every moment they are alive they are breathing out, peeing out, manuring out, and coughing out live BVD particles into the environment which no vaccine can overcome. These animals must be identified and removed from the herd before any BVD vaccine will work to prevent any such future occurrence.

If vaccinating, using a modified live version is probably the best route for effective coverage. I have read that some immunologists say giving a modified live vaccine against the respiratory viruses at 6 months of age and then again a month before breeding age may give lasting immunity for life. But I would like to see further studies on that. However, if you think about it, if we get a tetanus vaccine, it is good for 10 years. If vaccinated for measles and mumps, the immunity is nearly life time. So why do people vaccinate cattle every year — probably because the box says so. Perhaps some studies need to be done for how long titers

stay high from vaccines.

(Don’t expect vaccine manufacturers to do the studies.)

But remember that the animals’ environment and feed play a much bigger part in staying healthy than vaccines.

One thing to think about is animal concentration — what is the optimal number of animals to

have for a certain size of land or barn? Now there’s a real question.

The beautiful stone barns of the southeastern PA area were originally meant to house no more than probably 15 cows, their young stock, a few horses and a handful of pigs and chickens.

Now they routinely house 40 cows, some

young stock and a full team of horses. I think it only makes sense that when there is a high density of animals in one area, bugs/germs have it easier to “set up shop” in the animals there. That’s why routine massive vaccination programs have become so common place in modern agriculture — because of the

high concentration of animals in one location, whether it is a 40-50 cow tie stall in a stone barn or a 400-500 cow free stall system. I’m not against vaccines but the best “vaccine” for farm animals will always be fresh air, dry bedding, high forage diets, sunshine and being outside.

Allin Butcher and Roto-Mix were awarded the Dairy Calf and Heifer Association’s 2011 Outstanding Industry Recognition Award Wednesday, Oct. 5, at a reception in the Alliant Center hosting the World Dairy Expo in Madison, Wisconsin.

According to DCHA spokesperson, Nancy Soucek, “Roto-Mix has been a strong supporter of the Dairy Calf & Heifer Association over the past several years. Roto-Mix and DCHA have similar philosophies in leadership

and setting quality standards that help producers around the country become more successful in their business of raising high-quality dairy calves and heifers.”

Darin Mann, DCHA’s first Vice President, presented the award with this comment; “For his continued dedication to the Dairy Calf & Heifer Association and to helping our fellow producers around the country, I would like to present this year’s award to Allin Butcher with Roto-Mix.”

Cows milked with CoPulsation™ are Healthier Producing Higher Quality Milk When you milk with a CoPulsation™ you have less mastitis and the best quality milk ever. Others have talked about it for years while delivering nothing new leaving you to struggle with a 400,000 SCC limit.

CoPulsation™ delivers as promised because it provides the only gentle full teat massage in the industry. The result is uncompromised teat and udder health delivering superior milk quality from truly happy cows. Healthy cows have the best immune system meaning a lot less veterinary visits and less antibiotics. Basically we provide the only humane way to milk with a machine and open the teats 40% fewer times, stop the milk backwash of teats, eliminate red/swollen teats so you can stop scoring the teats and simply milk the cows. Cows on average will give 1000 to 3000 lb. more per lactation and higher components.

DPAC applauds Dairy Advancement Act Senate Bill 1682 offers ‘fresh approach’ for dairy On the day in which the U.S. Congress passed three historic free trade agreements, the grassroots dairy producers of the Dairy Policy Action Coalition (DPAC) were in the nation’s capitol stressing the need for policies that position dairy farmers to benefit from these trade opportunities.

The bill repeals the Dairy Product Price Support program, which saves taxpayer dollars and sends a clear signal to global trading partners that the U.S. will be a dependable supplier of dairy products that are in demand and will clear those inventories even when market prices are low. The bill also makes

economic picture for agriculture,” said Dennis Wolff, a lifelong dairy farmer from Millville, PA, who served as a former state secretary of agriculture and is now a relations consultant for DPAC through Versant Strategies. “The policy decisions being made now by the Senate and House Ag Committees, as

they consider their recommendations for the Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction, will be critical to the futures of our dairy farm families.

The Dairy Advancement Act improves market transparency and starts the process of simplifying

the milk pricing system.

At the same time it recognizes the need for a modest safety net and for expanded risk management choices for producers.”

“We applaud Senator Casey for introducing the Dairy Advancement Act. Unlike other propos-

als, which make the system even more complex, this bill calls for reforms that simplify and improve the way our milk is priced,” said DPAC chairman Cliff Hawbaker, a dairy producer from Chambersburg, PA.

by Elizabeth A. Tomlin ADADC members from Fulton, Montgomery, and Schoharie counties met on Sept. 24 at the Winners Circle in Fonda, NY, to discuss positive ad-

vances made with dairy promotion in the past year.

“The ADADC Board is made up of dairy farmers,” said Board Director Delores Mang, “and

our key role is to protect and promote our industry’s image.”

Mang reported that the ADADC has partnered with McDonald’s, Domino’s Papa John’s and Piz-

za Hut to promote dairy in New York State.

“One area that we have made great strides in, is the area of school breakfast programs,” Mang reported, “Buffalo added 23

new schools to the breakfast program, and New York City gained 148.”

Mang said with these new schools added to the breakfast program more than 405,000 students benefited from the nutritious value of dairy products, with over 7 million half-pints of milk served in the past year. A big boost to the dairy industry.

A video provided by ADADC Director of Communications, Beth Meyer, who attended the meeting from Syracuse, provided more information and statistics on programs that have been implemented in schools and supermarkets across New York State with the help of Dairy Check-off

ADADC from A15 Dollars.

Information from the video explained how progress is being made in educating consumers about why dairy is important in their daily diet and how their food is produced — with improving diet in the nation’s school children as a top priority.

The Fuel Up to Play 60 program was designed to help schools fight the childhood obesity battle.

It features nutrient rich, low-fat and fat-free dairy foods, such as milk, yogurt, and string cheese, at the forefront of diet, combined with fruit and vegetables — and 60 minutes of active daily play. Studies show that children have not only boosted their test scores, but have also shown better behavior patterns since participating in the program. Furthermore, dairy sales have also been tremendously boosted! All of this is made possible through Dairy Check-off Dollar investment.

The Dairy Marketing and Merchandising Program is also rolling through dairy departments in supermarkets, with redesigning of dairy cases to draw consumers attention. Colorful signs and banners inform consumers about nutrition available in healthy dairy snacks and also provide information about recipes using dairy products. Dairy sales have shown marked improvement in stores using this newly implemented marketing technique.

Marketing partners have contributed over $6 for each $1 that producers have invested over the past year.

The Dairy Check-off also provides tools and resources supporting farmers in sharing their dairy farm stories with consumers.

Farmers learn how to develop a communications plan for their farm, how to deliver an effective presentation, and how to conduct media interviews to educate the public.

Mang noted that many rural and urban families are three generations and more, removed from their agricultural roots. “I hope you will take advantage of these programs and get involved!” She encouraged dairy farmers who attended the annual dinner and meeting.

“Each of us needs to take a more proactive role in telling our story — along with the dairy princesses!”

Schoharie Dairy

Princess Brittany Hagadorn spoke to the assembly. Hagadorn is the first dairy princess Schoharie County has had in 7 years. “I’d like to thank the local dairy farmers for supporting the Dairy Princess Program with their Checkoff Dollars and the ADADC for its support throughout the year,” she stated. “We have been working hard to get out there and promote the

dairy industry.”

Hagadorn talked about celebrating “June is Dairy Month”, attending dairy shows, and meeting many future dairy farmers. “In August I spent nine days at the Schoharie County Fair, and each day we offered a new recipe and sampling of dairy products such as cheese, butter cookies, milk punch, and chocolate milk,” she said.

“By the end of the week, people were lining up, waiting for the sample of

the day!”

Montgomery County Dairy Princess, Gabrielle Brownell, also addressed the crowd of dairy families. She informed the folks that she had paired up with Fulton County’s Dairy Princess Danielle Bartlett this year, to participate in Dairy Day at the State Fair. “Thanks to the Dairy Check-off Dollars from the local dairy farmers, as well as funding from ADADC, we are able to work directly with the public,” she said. “As

the face of the dairy industry, we need to be educating the public on the truth about animal care and how the success of our farms depends on healthy cows. This is not just a job; it’s a way of life. Danielle and I have been lucky enough to work together on several occasions, as well as continuing to develop her Fulton County program.”

Both dairy princesses described working with school programs and trying to install the Fuel Up

for 60 program in local schools. “As princesses we are tasked to get the schools in our counties active in this program,” said Brownell.

“I’d like to send a special prayer out to all of the dairy farmers that have been affected by the flooding,” said Hagadorn.

“Their courage, strength, and commitment to rebuild makes me proud to be part of such a wonderful community — and I am proud to represent and promote them!”

“As dairy farmers, we are looking for less, not more, government cost and control of our industry. We see the opportunities in the world markets and realize we are part of a world supplyand-demand balance,” observed Duane Hertzler, a dairy producer from Loysville, PA. “We thank Senator Casey for recognizing the importance of the food, jobs, and economic vitality our dairy farms brings to our local communities with a bill that looks at the big picture.”

DPAC notes that while trade agreements open doors for U.S. dairy products, the industry must be positioned to walk through those doors with

the products that are in demand. Thus, the Dairy Advancement Act is not only a dairy bill, but also a jobs bill for the economy. It captures the federal policy concerns expressed at countless public forums held across the United States, and takes a progressive approach by improving transparency, growing global markets, encouraging new product development and offering safety net options, without invoking supply control and without putting taxpayers at risk for billions in liabilities as in other dairy proposals.

These issues are important to dairy farms of all sizes, as well as to processors and manufacturers of dairy products.

“The Dairy Advance-

ment Act offers producers a choice to have a direct payment through MILC when the milk price hits a trigger, or to use an individual tool to protect a margin between feed cost and milk price,” said Rob Barley, a farmer from Conestoga, PA. “It does not link the safety net to supply management like in other proposals. Having used LGM-Dairy, I have found that it allows the producer to develop a customized safety net and protect the margin that is relevant to his dairy operation.”

“We support this bill because we believe that controlling the U.S. milk supply is not the solution. All the evidence indicates that we do not

have an over supply of milk relative to U.S. and global demand. Instead, the important task is to be developing products and marketing strategies,” said Dave Forgey, a dairy producer from Logansport, IN. “There is a reported 7 billion pounds of unmet global dairy demand in the world, and that gap is expected to widen. Why would we want to back away from that market with proposals that control production, when instead we can chart a pathway forward for U.S. dairy farmers through the Dairy Advancement Act?” Producer Howard Straub from St. Johns, MI, observed how his state has made agricultural exports a priority.

“Dairy needs to be part of that bright future. We don’t believe the producers’ interests are best served by sending a signal to the world that we’ll be the country to pullback when margins tighten,” he said. “Instead, we need to build and serve those long term customers by making the right products and marketing them consistently.”

“We have a lot to be proud of as dairy farmers. We have the resources and the people,” said Dale Hoffman, a dairy producer from Shinglehouse, PA. “When you look at the overall economy, what sector is most productive? Agriculture. We’ll lose it if we don’t innovate and compete.”

For Hoffman, the choice is simple: “Make those products here and keep the jobs and dollars here at home. If we can innovate and market our dairy products, we can be very competitive. We just need to unleash our potential as the United States of America.”

“Since DPAC was formed in 2009, we have worked tirelessly on the Cornerstones for

Change to give fellow dairy producers a voice in the policy decisions that will shape our futures,” said Alan Kozak, a producer from Millersburg, Ohio. “We thank Senator Casey for introducing the Dairy Advancement Act and ask the House and Senate Agriculture Committees to consider this fresh approach when making their recommendations to the Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction; or to put the dairy policy discussion through the normal committee process.”

The Dairy Advancement Act aligns federal dairy policy with the global realities of the 21st century. It is a market oriented approach that was developed by listening closely to dairy producers and experts from all segments of the dairy industry. It simplifies and adds transparency to an overly complex system and gives producers safety net options, without restricting their opportunities to manage and grow their businesses for the next generation of farmers and consumers.

Reducing somatic cell count (SCC) on your farm is not just a matter of regulations and rulings — it’s a matter of animal health and good management.

When a proposal to voluntarily reduce the U.S. Grade A Milk SCC limit to 400,000 SCC per milliliter failed at

the National Conference on Interstate Milk Shipments in May, many producers and industry professionals were surprised. The proposal would have put the United States on par with guidelines currently set in the European Union (EU) for milk export limits and was supported by several industry

groups. Plus, many groups saw it as a measure to improve the United States’ attention to udder health. While the proposal’s failure means the USDA will have to step in to identify a way to meet the EU standards, producers should continue to implement management practices that improve animal health and milk quality.

“We know that lower somatic counts are a reflection of improved animal health and less mastitis in the herd,” says Linda Tikofsky, Professional Services Veterinarian with Boehringer Ingelheim Vetmedica, Inc. “Whether or not there is a regulation on SCC limit, producers should strive to reduce their SCC for the good of their cows, and their milk check.”

Lowering SCC, improving herd health There are several management practices that contribute to lower SCC: • Improve udder preparation Complete and proper udder prep involves stimulating milk letdown by stripping teats, pre-dipping and wiping teats dry before attaching the milking unit. Always wear gloves, sanitize gloves between cows, and use singleservice paper towels to dry teats. Hang units squarely beneath the cow, and ensure there are no air leaks or

“squawks.” There should be a 60- to 90-second delay between stripping and unit attachment.

• Keep cows clean Reducing infection and SCC is easier when cows are kept in a clean, dry environment. Bedding should be refreshed and stalls groomed frequently.

• Maintain good records Keep track of cows with a history of high SCC and mastitis. A good record keeping system will help when making treatment and culling decisions.

• Treat those you can, cull those you can’t Repeated treatment of cows with chronic mastitis and high SCC doesn’t make economic sense. “When choosing a mastitis tube, you can optimize the chance for a cure the first time by using ‘the right drug for the right bug.’ It is best to culture clinical mastitis to help you make this decision; however, if culturing isn’t an option, choose a broad-spectrum tube to maximize your chances for a cure,” Tikofsky said.

Consider a single-day treatment for lactating cows like ToDAY®, available from Boehringer Ingelheim Vetmedica, Inc., to get cows back in the tank quickly. If treatment does little to improve SCC, consider culling.

DHI-403 DHIA Report: Turning Data Into Helpful Information

By George Cudoc Reporting data can be considered the first important step in managing a dairy herd. The second step involves turning that data into information that you can use to more successfully manage your cows. Having the information one piece at a time, although useful, sometimes falls short in evaluating herd management plans and actions. Dairy One members have the option of processing data in a number of ways and at a number of places. Selecting summary-type reports may help you “connect the data dots” and look at important segments of herd management. Let us look at a report that focuses on multiple pieces of information to help you evaluate your transition program.

The DHI-403 report for DRMS at Raleigh is a tool that summarizes transition cow management using a number of measures. The data collected on cows is turned into information and presented in a graphical format. Both large and small herds will find the information useful, and the number of calvings per month will determine if the data is monthly, bimonthly, or quarterly. Each measure used will be on a 100-point scale, indicating the level of success we experience.

Goals are set using benchmark data for the top 10% of herds within a similar herd size range. Five of the measures use information during the period from dry off to 40 days in milk. Two measures use a time period beyond and the graphs may look a bit different. The report finishes with a list of cows that have calved recently and have low production, high SCC, or both. With those cows listed, other stressors that may have played a role are highlighted.

Transition is the time of a cow's life from dry-off date to 40 days after calving. This gives each cow ample opportunity to rebound from the stress she experiences giving birth. Successful transition can be defined as the ability to change a cow from dry status to production at a level equal to or better than the genetic potential that she possesses. The DHI-403 report from the Dairy Records Management Systems (DRMS) focuses on measures to help us evaluate transition.

The first measure we have in this evaluation looks at the number of days dry and the percent of time we achieve our goal of 30 - 70 days.

The current belief is that while we can shorten days dry from the traditional 60 day goal, we must strive to manage for at least 30 days.

Dropping below this threshold is likely to result in a 5% - 15% drop in milk. On the other hand, cows with extended dry periods of more than 70 days may produce 10% less milk. We should strive for 80% or higher success.

The second measure looks at milk produced on the first test day. This milk is used to project the probability that milk will be at least equal to the current RHA milk on a mature equivalent basis.

We can use this to evaluate adequate dry matter intake. Higher milk starts can lead to higher peak milk and higher total production.

The third measure, a butterfat and protein percent comparison on the first test using Fat Protein Ratio (FPR), gives insight to intake, body weight maintenance, and metabolic disorders. A large percentage of the cows should fall between a range of 1.0 and 1.6 using this ratio. Benchmark data says we should see 82% of the cows in this range.

The fourth measure based on first test milk examines success in udder health. High SCC on first test may point to problems with dry cow treatment or dry pen conditions. The percent of cows not infected or a SCC score less than 4.0 at first test is tracked. The top 10% of the industry achieves 80% cows not infected.

Additional information is also included by breaking the herd into new cases, chronics, and cures. New infections are described as cows low at dry off and high at calving. Chronic cows are high at both times. Cures are high at dry and low at calving.

A fifth measure looks at reproduction of the herd. This measure is not as current as the previous measures because it takes longer to be able to evaluate. The time will be different for each herd and is based on what we select for the VWP plus 30 days. Successful transition will prepare cows to be healthy enough to cycle and be bred during this time. The top 10% of the industry achieves 80% plus on this measure.

The sixth measure looks at survival rate, one of the biggest losses on many dairies. Successful transition increases the chance that cows will survive past their first 60 DIM. Not only have the cows that left in the first 60 days not paid for their dry period, but we lose the most profitable period of the lactation at peak milk. It is important to track cows leaving that have salvage value versus those that die with no salvage value. We should strive for 90% or more cows staying in the herd more than 60 days after calving.

The last measure is the percent of cows that go through transition in an unstressed state using some of the 6 measures above, as well as others like calving ease, twins, stillbirths, and abortions. The list provided shows current cows with stressors, and you may be able to still address them.

MORRISVILLE, NY — The 2011 Morrisville State College Dairy judging team completed another successful year, placing in several competitions.

Members of the judging team were: Tyler Clark, of Cambridge; Mike Laspada, of Clymer; Patrick Sweatman, of Sherman, all animal science — dairy associate degree majors; and Courtney Furst, of Moravia, a dairy management, bachelor degree major. All are active participants in the college’s Dairy Club.

The team participated in the Eastern States Judging competition in Springfield, MA, placing third overall while Sweatman was second high individual overall.

The team also finished third at the All American Dairy Judging Contest in

Harrisburg, PA, and finished first in the Ayrshire Breed.

Morrisville State College also competed in the Post-Secondary Dairy Cattle Judging Contest at the World Dairy Expo held in Madison, WI. The team (minus Furst) was second high scoring team overall and also placed third in oral reasons out of 12 teams competing in the conventional dairy judging contest. Clark was second high scoring individual overall and Laspada and Sweatman tied for tenth high individual overall. In the practical contest, the team finished third overall.

“We participate in this contest every year,” said Beth Keene, assistant professor in dairy science who coached the team. “A second place finish is like the “World Series” of dairy cattle judging.”

Keene credits the dairy judging teams’ successful year in part to industry professionals. “We want to thank all producers and industry personnel who support and assist in the continued success of the Morrisville State College Dairy Judging Program,” she said.

Morrisville State College dairy students will also be involved in the ninth annual Northeast Regional Dairy Challenge which the college is hosting this year in Watertown, on Oct. 27-29. The hands-on event, which prepares students for careers in the dairy industry, attracts 120 of the Northeast’s best and brightest students who were chosen by their universities to participate.

YET ANOTHER DAIRY REFORM BILL HAS BEEN INTRODUCED Issued Oct. 14, 2011 Don’t look for $20 milk prices in 2012, according to Matt Mattke of Wisconsin based Stewart Peter-

son. Speaking in Tuesday’s DairyLine, Mattke pointed to the global economy which, he said, has a lot of uncertainty and risk and could be headed into a secondary recession which will limit the upside.

“We saw a couple of months ago what $2-plus cheese did to demand, Mattke said. “Exports dropped sharply in June and July and domestic demand dropped hard as well.” He said $18 milk “has a shot,” but $17$17.50 is more likely.

On a brighter note, corn prices have softened the last four weeks and is about $2 off the high, Mattke reported. Milk prices have fallen as well so it’s “bittersweet.”

Section B He called on producers to “be defensive in their planning” and “use any rally that might occur between now and the end of the year to get sales in place, pick the tool of your choice, be it forward contracting or put options, use that rally to do it and get a base of protection in place because 2012 has a lot of unknowns.”

Cash cheese prices the week of October 10 reversed the previous

week’s rally and closed Friday at $1.69 per pound on the blocks, down 7 1/2-cents on the week, and a nickel below a year ago. The barrels also closed at $1.69, down 9 1/2-cents on the week, and 4 1/4 below a year ago. Eleven cars of block traded hands on the week and 14 of barrel. The NASS-surveyed U.S. average block price lost 1.2 cents, slipping to $1.7475. Barrels averaged $1.7080, down 2 cents.

Jerry Dryer’s October 7 Dairy and Food Market Analyst reported that “conversations with (cheese) distributors suggest more promotional activity is being planned now than was the case just a few weeks ago. At the beginning of the week, cheese prices were as much as 50 cents below the price levels that prevailed thru the summer.”

Butter wise; Dryer says there’s “very good order flow and more promotional activity in the works. However, there’s also is plenty of cream.

High-fat holiday products aren’t yet competing for the cream supply and ice cream is out of the picture while milk bottlers and yogurt makers continue to dump cream into the supply chain.”

Spot butter closed October 14 at $1.8350, up 6 1/2-cents on the week, but 35 cents below a year ago. Only one car

was sold all week. NASS butter averaged $1.7579, down 5.1 cents. NASS nonfat dry milk averaged $1.5415, up 2 1/2- cents, and dry whey averaged 60.29 cents, down 0.3 cent.

U.S. dairy exports in the first seven months of 2011 were steady and consistent, according to the U.S. Dairy Export Council’s Margaret Speich in an interview I had with her at World Dairy Expo. Demand has been strong, she said, much of it coming from emerging markets and U.S. cheese exports have been a bright spot. Exports in the first seven months claimed 5 percent of U.S. cheese production, up from an historical average of 1-2 percent.

Much of the cheese is going to South Korea where USDEC has done a lot of marketing the past 15 years. Speich said “It’s paying off for U.S. dairy farmers,” adding that there’ll be even more potential from free trade agreements with South Korea, Panama, and Columbia which passed the House and Senate this week.

The U.S. dairy industry needs the world market but Speich warned that “It’s imperative we do what’s needed to continue to be a consistent supplier, not just to the international markets but also to make sure we’re producing the right kinds of things for the domestic market. It’s part of the environment we operate in and U.S. dairy exporters especially in the last two to three years have shown more interest in exports, more commitment, and are very active in the export market.”

National Milk’s Chris Galen says the South Korean free trade agreement would be worth about $380 million per year to the U.S. dairy industry and the other two would mean another $50 million in annual sales and generate additional jobs.

Exporting historically meant lower prices to be competitive but that’s no longer the case as ex-

Mielke from B2 ports have contributed much to achieve “strong positive prices for dairy farmers,” Speich said.

“Keep in mind,” she concluded, “U.S. milk production has increased 1.6 percent this year and 60 percent of that additional output was exported so we have to make sure that our commitment to export markets stays and really do what’s needed to make our exports healthy and consistent.”

The free trade agreements drew fire from the National Family Farm Coalition. Board president Ben Burkett stated, “The U.S. alone has lost 300,000 family farmers since NAFTA was implemented, and we don’t expect the lowered tariffs for beef and oranges to offset those numbers in the next 15 years.”

Wisconsin farmer John Kinsman, who met with President Obama and Agriculture Secretary Vilsack at the White House Rural Forum in Podesta, Iowa, said; “We outlined our concerns about the trade agreements to the President and Secretary Vilsack, but they chose to ignore them. This Administration has, unfortunately, caved to the notion that any trade is good trade.

They abandoned their campaign pledge to revisit our nation’s trade policies, despite the continued loss of familyscale producers and the rural communities behind them.”

Speaking of exports; the Cooperatives Working Together (CWT) program accepted 10 requests for export assistance from Dairy Farmers of America and United Dairymen of Arizona to sell a total of 2.67 million pounds of Cheddar cheese to customers in Asia, North Africa, and the Middle East. The product will be delivered through December and raises CWT’s 2011 cheese export total to 74.9 million pounds to 23 countries, the equivalent of 749 billion pounds of milk.

In milk pricing news; California’s November Class I milk price is $20.26 per hundredweight for the north and $20.54 for the south, down $1.24 and $1.23 respectively from October, but $1.55 and $1.56 above November 2010, and equates to about $1.74 and $1.77 per gallon respectively. The drop pulled the 2011 av-

erage to $20.68 and $20.95, but both are $3.83 above a year ago.

The Federal order Class I base price is announced

by USDA on October 21.

The Agriculture Department raised its 2011 milk production forecast again in its latest World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates report. USDA blamed herd expansion “at a more rapid rate and milk per cow during summer increased more rapidly than expected.” Depart-

ment bean counters project 2011 output at 195.9 billion pounds, up 200 million from last month’s estimate, and compares to 192.8 billion in 2010. The 2012 estimate was lowered as “forecast milk prices and weakening milk-feed ratios increase the pace of later year declines in cow numbers.” Look for 2012 output to hit 198.4 billion pounds, down 100 million pounds from September’s estimate.

“International prices

have been weaker which has put some pressure on butter and cheese prices,” USDA wrote.

Butter and cheese price forecasts were reduced for 2012. NDM prices have also been under pressure from weakening international prices and although the forecast for 2011 is unchanged from last month, the price forecast for 2012 was reduced.

Whey prices were raised for both 2011 and 2012 as demand is strong, ac-

cording to USDA. The 2011 Class III milk price forecast was lowered, but for 2012 the higher whey price more than offsets a decline in the cheese price, and the Class III price forecast was raised. The 2011 Class III average is now expected to range $18.15-$18.25 per hundredweight, down from the $18.25-$18.45 expected last month, and compares to $14.41 in 2010. The 2012 average is now projected at

$16.30-$17.20, up from the $16.10-$17.10 projected a month ago.

The Class IV price was lowered for both years due to lower forecast butter and NDM prices. The 2011 average is now put at $19.05-$19.25, with the 2012 average projected at $16.30-$17.30 per hundredweight.

The report also showed 2011 corn and soybean production estimates

Mielke B3

were reduced about 1 percent from the September projection but corn and soybean price projections were also lowered. The 2011/12 U.S. season-average farm price for corn was put at $6.20-$7.20 per bushel, down 30 cents on both ends of the range compared to a month ago. The 2011/12 U.S. sea-

son-average soybean price remains in a wide range, $12.15-$14.15 per bushel, down 50 cents on both ends. Soybean meal prices were forecast at $335-$365 per ton for 2011/12, down $25 on both ends of the range.2011 cottonseed production was forecast well below 2010, as was alfalfa and other dry hay.

Milk production levels across the U.S. are following expected amounts, according to USDA’s weekly update.

Northeast supplies are tight for needs in many cases as Class I and II demand is limiting manufacturing supplies. Good Class I demand in the Southeast is reported with increased loads being shipped into the region.

Midwest milk is adequate for most needs with steady production. Milk components are slowly increasing.

Western production is slowing seasonally, with some upticks in the Southwest as temperatures moderate.

California’s Milk Producers Council (MPC) warned in its October 7 newsletter that milk production in Australia and New Zealand is booming and “hard to not believe the short term milk supply could swamp demand down there, raising the question about what effect it may have up here.”

Cheese sales are holding up well, here, according to the MPC, “but U.S. economic data continues to indicate the recovery from the greatest economic recession this country has suffered may not get much better soon, and there has been some talk about the economies of France and Germany weakening.

wait to see what happens.”

The MPC took the International Dairy Foods Association (IDFA) to task for its television and print campaign blasting National Milk’s dairy reform proposal.

Quoting the MPC newsletter; “IDFA is saying the roughly 60,000 dairy farmers in the U.S. owed it to our country to sacrifice the billions of dollars in dairy farmer equity by selling our milk at prices significantly less than what it cost to produce it, all in the interest of making low-cost dairy products available to the public.”

“The ironic thing, of course, is that these same dairy product processors were asked to make no such sacrifice in 2009 as they benefited from government policies (the same policies that are now blasted in their advertising campaign) that provide governmentguaranteed make allowances that virtually guarantee company profits regardless of what price they are paying for their milk.” MPC called the action “Shameless.”

Trucks ATA economist sees mixed picture for trucking American Trucking Associations’ Chief Economist Bob Costello said in Grapevine, Texas, that the outlook for trucking was muddled at best, with the industry facing softening demand and rising costs, but said capacity should continue

to remain tight.

“Right now, freight demand is moving sideways, rather than falling off a cliff like it did in 2008,” Costello said during the All Eyes on the Economy panel, presented by Bendix Commercial Vehicle Systems.

“That indicates to me that we might just skirt by another recession.”

In general, Costello said large fleets were seeing stronger volumes than smaller ones, likely because of their relationships to larger shippers.

“No one is doing great,

U.S. Transportation Secretary LaHood announces agreement with New Jersey U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood announced on Sept. 30 that he has signed an agreement with New Jersey Governor Chris Christie for the state to reimburse the federal government $95 million for money that was supposed to be spent building the ARC Tunnel.

New Jersey terminated the project and the Department has been seeking repayment of $271 million in federal dollars spent by the state on the project.

The $95 million settlement will permit DOT to recover all of the $51 million in New Starts money provided to New Jersey for the ARC Project, so that those funds can be made available to other communities for public transit projects. This amount also recovers approximately 50 percent of the funds provided to New Jersey under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, and this money will be returned to the United States Treasury. In addition to the cash payment

amount, New Jersey will be required under the terms of the settlement agreement to spend more than $128 million in CMAQ program funds on transit-related projects that have been reviewed and approved by DOT. “We appreciate the support and encouragement of Senators Lautenberg

but it feels like larger companies and shippers are outperforming small businesses right now,” he said.

In addition, Costello said that cost pressures on fleets were “significant,” with the inflation rate for items like fuel, equipment and driver wages exceeding the inflation rate for the broader economy.

Despite higher costs, Costello said that truck and equipment manufacturers should continue to see solid sales figures “because there’s a significant amount of pent-up demand for new trucks to renew aging fleets.”

Even set against this backdrop, Costello said fleets should continue to see solid revenue per mile

as capacity stays tight.

“There has been some growth in capacity, but supply and demand remain close to equilibrium,” he said. “However, fleets did a good job ‘right-sizing’ during the recession, so capacity should remain tight — and continue to tighten as the driver shortage worsens.”

and Menendez in reaching an agreement that is good for the taxpayers of New Jersey, but also helps to improve infrastructure in the state,” Secretary LaHood said. “I thank the governor and his legal team for reaching this agreement.”

by Bob Gray Recently Congresswoman Hochul (D-NY) and Congressman Hanna (RNY) jointly introduced a bill that would allow immigrant workers to temporarily come to the U.S. to work on dairy farms. Their bill, H.R. 3024, entitled the Access to Agricultural Labor Act of 2011, would amend the current H-2A seasonal worker program that does not

provide the dairy industry with the opportunity to take part in this program as it is currently operated.

Under the proposed legislation dairy workers would be able to work in the U.S. for extendable periods of three years.

The New York Farm Bureau supports this legislation.

From the federal side it is not clear

yet whether or not the E-Verify legislation that was reported out of the House Judiciary Committee will be taken up by the full House and, more importantly, will Judiciary Committee Chairman Lamar Smith of Texas agree to adding provisions to his bill that would deal with the needs of agriculture.

Although having the availability of new workers for dairy to be eligible un-

der the H-2A program is important, every dairy producer I talk to about this is most concerned with the workers they already have on their farming operations. Being able to get new workers is important — but if they lose the work force they have in place, for most it would be a disaster.

Source: NDFC E-letter for Oct. 14

Mielke from B3 Natzke in Friday’s DairyLine broadcast. He said details and Congressional Budget Office review are still sketchy, but Casey’s proposal gives dairy pro-

ducers a choice in risk management tools, allowing them to continue to participate in the Milk Income Loss Contract (MILC) program, or to re-

ceive revenue margin insurance through USDA’s existing Livestock Gross Margin-Dairy (LGMDairy) program.

“This bill repeals the

Dairy Product Price Support Program; reduces federal milk marketing order milk classes from four to two; and provides low-interest loans to

dairy product manufacturers to help them become more innovative,” Natzke said.

An IDFA press release quotes Connie Tipton, IDFA President and CEO; “Now we are getting somewhere. The Dairy Advancement Act offered by Senator Robert Casey (D-PA), moves the dairy industry towards consensus on a path forward. Most importantly the bill will not hamstring our industry with a new government program to limit milk supply as does the controversial Peterson proposal. It sets no limits on the ability of dairy farm-

ers to grow their businesses, and offers a safety net without strings attached.”

“Although this bill moves us in the right direction, the unwillingness of the National Milk Producers Federation (NMPF) to compromise and insist on proposals that will constrain the industry by limiting milk supply is disappointing.

NMPF continues to refuse to seek consensus by insisting on the Peterson proposal that forces dairy producers to accept supply controls if they want to participate in margin insurance.”

?Harvesting Corn That Has Some Mold?

Do You Want to Preserve the Feed Quality That’s Still Available?

TRY ROASTED CORN AND SOYBEANS TO DISCOVER THE DIFFERENCE! ~ Earlier Harvest - Roasting will dry corn down eight to ten points of moisture. ~ Higher Digestibility - Research studies show that roasted corn is more digestible than raw corn. The energy level increased by 30%. ~ Purer Feed - Roasting can effectively remove mold spores and reduce toxin levels that are harmful to livestock, swine and poultry.

awardees are Sharon Anderson, Extension Educator, CCE Tompkins County; Brett Chedzoy, Extension Educator, CCE Schuyler County; Robert Ross, Associate Director for Outreach, Paleontological Research Institution (PRI); Trisha Smrecak, Global Change and Evolution Projects Manager, PRI; Kelly Cronin, Outreach Associate, PRI; Susan Riha, Charles L. Pack Professor in the Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences and Director of the New York State Water Resources Institute; Rich Stedman, Associate Professor, Department of Natural Resources; Jeffrey Jacquet, Ph.D. candidate, Department of Natural Resources; and Ken Smith, Executive Director, CCE Chenango County. The team represents a diversity of disciplines and perspectives within a framework of cooperation and collaboration to support informed decision making around the complexity of issues associated with Marcellus Shale development.

The Cornell Cooperative Extension (CCE) Marcellus Shale Team has been active since 2008, originally in response to significant demand from landowners who were approached by energy industry representatives to sign leases. Since that time, the need for multidisciplinary and research-based education and information has expanded to a broader audience, as the issue has become one that is of vital interest and concern to a wide variety of stakeholders. A core group of educators, associates and faculty have helped to guide an integrated research, education and outreach initiative. Their work was funded in part by Cornell Cooperative Extension and the Cornell University Agricultural Experiment Station (Smith Lever/Hatch funding).

The Marcellus Shale Team’s educational approach takes into account the protection of environmental health, creating and maintaining vital communities, and promoting economic opportunities. The team has responded to a variety of stakeholders who seek a scien-

tific, economic, social, and environmental understanding of the issues associated with Marcellus Shale natural gas exploration and drilling. “This has been a tremendous example of a land grant university at work,” says Rod Howe, Executive Director, CaRDI. As part of an effort to disseminate accurate information, the team’s work has included the development of the Natural Gas Resource Center Web site, naturalgas.cce.cornell.edu. In addition, they have compiled and disseminated a variety of materials that support informed dialogue and decision making on the natural gas development process and associated impacts. They have advocated for academic research at Cornell University that examines development impacts and mitigation strategies. They have fostered cross-collaboration of outreach and education activities among many of the educational and research institutions throughout the Marcellus Shale region.

The CCE Marcellus Shale team’s activities overlap with other multidisciplinary team initiatives that resulted in the development of a paper entitled, “Energy Transitions: A Systems Approach Including Marcellus Shale Gas Development,” and a framework focused on the impact of green energy development on rural community sustainability. Both of these additional initiatives received support from the Atkinson Center for a Sustainable Future.

The David J. Allee and Paul R. Eberts Community and Economic Vitality Award was presented on Oct. 18 in Ithaca, NY. The presentation will be in conjunction with a seminar entitled ”How will rural areas contribute to America’s energy transitions?” by Thomas Johnson, Director of Academic and Analytic Programs, Rural Policy Research Institute (RUPRI). For further information contact Susan Barry Smith at 607-2559510 or st237@ cornell.edu.

Beware of dire predictions

by Stewart Truelsen Here is a prediction: American farmers and ranchers will be able to feed this nation well into the future if given access to land, water, capital and scientific advances.

If you’d like the prediction to be more specific, let’s say the nation’s food supply will be secure until at least the year 2061.

There’s an excellent chance this prediction will be true, but it’s hardly the stuff books are written about. A prediction like this would only bring a yawn, and the reader would go back to worrying about dire predictions of economic collapse or the 2012 apocalypse.

Finally, someone has written a book about expert predictions: “Future Babble” by Dan Gardner.

The author claims socalled expert predictions are next to worthless, and we can probably do better ourselves.

The expert predictions that catch our eye are ones predicting doom and gloom. One

such book was “Famine 1975!”

Written by William and Paul Paddock in 1967, the book predicted food scarcities so severe that food aid would have to be cut off from a few nations leaving their populations to starve. India and Egypt were said to fit this description.

The Paddocks underestimated the Green Revolution and other advances in production agriculture around the world, but they weren’t the only ones. Paul Ehrlich predicted a similar fate when he said, “The battle to feed all humanity is over,” in his book “The Population Bomb.”

In a 1982 book, “Encounters with the Future,” respected futurist Marvin Cetron and coauthor Thomas O’Toole forecasted that the Soviet Union would invade Australia within 10 years for its natural resources.

They missed the part about the Soviet Union crumbling.

Why do we pay atten-

tion to expert predictions in the first place? In “Future Babble,” Gardner gives several reasons.

Most people love certainty, so if someone says they know what will happen in the future, it attracts our attention.

We jump to conclusions about the future because we tend to look for patterns where none exist. Randomness and chaos limit our ability to see very far ahead.

We also are attracted to experts who are bold and confident about their predictions despite the fact that Gardner says they have the worst track records. In his words, “Reliable forecasting is a challenge on a par with climbing Mt. Everest barefoot.”

Life is unpredictable and uncertain, but that isn’t as bad as it seems.

That’s why we can stick by our prediction that American farmers and ranchers will meet our food needs for at least the next 50 years.

They’ve done it in the

American Farm Bureau Federation past despite all kinds of obstacles and dire predictions. There’s every reason to believe they can do it in the future.

A View from Hickory Heights

by Ann Swanson An apple a day keeps the doctor away I never had to worry about the amount that the children ate. Our family loved all kinds of fruit. There were lots of apple trees on the farm.

Grandma Swanson made pies with the Greenings.

We ate the Kings, Russets, and McIntosh. Really a variety of apples makes for a good pie. It is good to mix the sweet and the tart.

Our neighbors had Transparents. I was often invited over there to pick some. The one time I especially remember the 90-something farmer set the ladder up for me. I noticed that the ladder did not look very steady so I was reluctant to crawl up. He assured me it was safe. Just to be on the safe side I checked to see if the ladder fell to the next branch that it was a sturdy one that was not too far away.

Our children carried lunches most of the time because they did not like the school milk. They were used to raw milk from the farm. As long as they carried lunch pails they could have milk from home in the thermos. They also carried a lot of apples. Once we picked the apples we stored them down in the basement so we had fresh apples for at least half of the winter.

Of course, I canned some apples for pies and made some into applesauce. I never froze my pies because we liked fresh apple pies. I think the crust stayed better when they were baked and then eaten without freezing them in between.

Can you believe that we actually used lard for our pie crusts? If you want a flaky crust, you use lard.

When we butchered the pigs I rendered the lard and put it into cake pans to harden. When it was set I cut portions just enough to make a pie and froze them. When a cousin and his wife came for a visit she raved about my pie crust. Since she was a very finicky eater I hated to tell it that it was the lard that did it.

When I was a youngster my family went out to a farm to pick apples.

Since I was able bodied at the time I was allowed to climb the ladder to reach for the best ones. I remember that they gave us a bucket with a hanger that fit over the rung of the ladder. When the pail

was filled you climbed down and put the apples into the bushel basket.

We stored our apples in a small fruit cellar in the basement. Every evening either grandpa or I went to the cellar to get some apples for a snack.

Snacks were different back in those days. We usually ate fruit instead of sweet or salty treats.

Grandma could not tolerate raw apples but she could eat apples when she made them into applesauce. We always had fresh applesauce to eat with our meals.

I am always anxious for the first apples of the

season. I love the early Transparent variety, but they do not keep well. My daughter brought some of those that she picked from that tree that I mentioned earlier. We all enjoyed having fresh apples that week. You have to eat them quickly or they are all brown inside.

They make wonderful applesauce, but you must peal them or the applesauce looks like it has brown specks. Can you tell that I tried that short cut once?

Last week I bought a basket of local apples. I chose the Cortland variety since I really like the crispy white flesh and the tart taste. I could not wait. As soon as I got into my car I hauled out an apple and bit into it. It

was as delicious as I thought it would be. It was gone long before I made it home.

Yesterday I grabbed another apple out of the basket. I think whoever packed them made a mistake. I am sure that the apple I ate was a McIntosh instead of a Cortland. Maybe a customer put one in the wrong basket who knows?

This spring we did not have a killing frost while the apple trees were in blossom so there are plenty of apples. A paper that I picked up at one of the orchards noted that all seasons are important for apple trees. In the winter when it looks there is nothing going on, the trees are dormant or resting. That is

the time that they should be pruned so that they produce a good crop the next year. The trees need sunshine so it is important to trim them so the sun gets to the apples.

Spring is the growing season. The leaves come, then the buds. Apples grow from the base of the flowers and the flowers fall off. This is the season when the bees do their work. If it was not for pollination we would not have fruit.

During the summer the apples increase in size and begin to change color. For the orchards that use spray to keep pests at a minimum this is the time for spraying. If you do not spray the tree you will still get apples but they may have some de-

formities. We prefer our apples to be natural so we do not spray, but commercial growers spray several times during the season.

Of course, fall is the season for harvest. Apples are good for you.

Each apple has about 95 calories, 4 grams of fiber, less than a gram of fat, plus calcium, magnesium, vitamin C, and beta-carotene.

I have found that apples cut and cooked in the microwave with a little bit of butter and some sugar and cinnamon make a tasty snack. That gives me a little variety as I eat my apple a day.

ALBANY, NY — The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) are strongly urging New Yorkers who have applied for disaster aid to complete and return their SBA loan applications.

To date, SBA has approved more than $43 million in low-interest disaster loans for New Yorkers who suffered damage from Hurricane Irene and Tropical Storm Lee. The deadline to apply for SBA disas-

ter assistance loans for Hurricane Irene is Oct. 31. The SBA application deadline for Tropical Storm Lee is Nov. 14. The sooner flood survivors complete their applications, the sooner decisions regarding federal aid can be made. Filling out the SBA application is a necessary step to be considered for some forms of disaster assistance.

SBA disaster loans are the primary source of long-term recovery aid. The application provides necessary information for determining assistance for

by Phoebe Hall Middle of October It’s the middle of October already, and the sun doesn’t want to rise until 7:30 a.m. and then it wants to set at 6:30 p.m. That’s okay, but it’s a prelude to what’s coming down the tube, my least favorite time of the year.

That’s why I cherish every moment of every beautiful day.

This time of the year when we see flocks of birds assembling around our barns, we brace ourselves for what’s coming next. Invariably, our animals will pick up some kind of a variation of a newly mutated intestinal disease. We try to correct this invasion without medications by adjusting the feed inputs. Increasing the dry hay intake and cutting down on the corn silage usually helps to rectify the problem, if we are fortunate. This year was no exception, so far. So much for a closed herd and biosecurity.

Corn silage harvest is going wide open, with varying degrees of success.

Most of the farmers are reporting somewhat of a reduction in yields, compared to last year. If the dry corn

harvesting follows through with the same yield decreases, I would have to guess that the U.S. farmers will have trouble meeting the estimated yield predictions of the USDA. Some experts are now predicting that it will take until 2013 to alleviate this tight supply problem in the world. I wonder what our Creator’s thoughts are on this.

We heard the other day about the surprise snowstorm that dumped two feet of snow on some areas of western New York back in 2006. It had caught everyone off guard, as October is capable of doing, from our experiences.

That storm followed a beautiful, balmy week of perfect fall weather. Every season has it’s own glitches.

Someone asked us recently why we burn so much wood. Our reply was, first and foremost, we love a warm house; secondly, the wood is free, and last but not least, it keeps us young, although, it doesn’t feel like it while we are doing it.

If you want to know what God wants you to do, ask him, and he will gladly tell you. (James 1:5a) TLB

Montrose Senior holds Chicken Barbecue benefit for 4-H MONTROSE, PA — Montrose Area High School Senior Allison Kiefer kicked off National 4-H Week on a high note by sponsoring a Chicken Barbeque fundraiser in Lawton, PA, on Sunday, Oct. 2. Kiefer organized the chicken barbeque to complete the requirements for her senior graduation project. To combine her love for culinary arts and 4-H she decided on the barbecue, with all proceeds going to the Susquehanna County 4-H endowment.

Kiefer’s family and friends cooked up 400 chicken halves on Rush Fire Company’s grills on the damp Sunday morning and by noon all chickens were sold. The dinners were complemented with homemade potato salad, baked beans, a dinner roll and a cupcake for dessert.

With the dinner sales, basket raffle tickets, and monetary sponsors for the event Allison hopes to donate $2,000 to the Susquehanna County 4-H Endowment.

Kiefer is a 10 year 4-H member. She currently serves as President of the D.E.S. 4-H Club and is the Vice President of

Arrows and Clays 4-H Club. Kiefer has taken projects in dairy, shotgun, cake decorating, and babysitting. She is the daughter of Ron and LouAnn Kiefer of Montrose. She also is currently serving as the Susquehanna County Dairy Princess and is employed part-time at Flynn’s Stone Castle, Lawton.

Oct. 2-8 was National 4-H Week, and Susquehanna County celebrated the 4-H youth who have made an impact on the community, and are stepping up to the challenges of a complex and changing world. 4-H youth are a living breathing, culturechanging revolution for doing the right thing, breaking through obstacles and pushing our country forward by making a measurable difference right where they live. Allison Kiefer is certainly one of youth who has certainly stepped up the challenge and made a difference.

Dreyer Hall in Montrose, PA, was the setting for the annual Harford Fair banquet. Over 100 members of the association and guests enjoyed the evening with a fall theme which began with a family-style dinner.

Following the dinner, the group assembled in the Chapel Room for a special presentation. Five college students who have been involved with the fair over the years were each awarded a $500 scholarship. The money was the proceeds from the auction of the first and second place winners in each of the baked goods categories held at this year’s fair.

The auction money from a beefer which was donated back to be resold was added to the amount. A total of $2,500 was raised and used for the granting of scholarships.

To apply, the applicants had to be attending college and were involved in some way with the Harford Fair.

The applications were due the first of September and those received were reviewed by the committee chaired by Dr. Michael Kowalewski and comprised of directors, Cindy Reynolds and Ron Stiles, along with association members Ginny Beeman,

Stanley Kalafut, and Owen Bewley. The committee members agreed that all applications were strong and worthy of receiving a scholarship.

However, because of the money available, only five of the applicants could be selected to receive the scholarship money. Recipients included Angela Jane Cosner, Eric Giangrieco, Rebecca Harris, Daisy Matulevich, and Cassandra Summers.

Daisy and Eric were at the banquet with their parents to receive their scholarships. Angela, Rebecca, and Cassandra were unable to attend and their parents received the awards in their place.

Angela attends Clarkson University and is studying mechanical engineering. Eric is studying heating ventilation and air conditioning at Johnson College. Rebecca attends Wilkes University and is majoring in pre-pharmacy/pharmacy. Daisy is working toward a bachelor of science in nursing at Mansfield University. Cassandra is at Elizabethtown College majoring in psychology with a minor in music therapy.

Applications for next year’s scholarships will be available at the fair

Five college students received Harford Fair Scholarships at the annual banquet held at Dreyer Hall in Montrose on Oct. 3. From left to right are Warren and Rosemary Cosner of Springville who received the award for their daughter Angela Jane Cosner; Wanda and Wesley Harris from New Milford who received the scholarship for their daughter Rebecca; Eric Giangrieco from New Milford; Daisy and her parents Cheryl and Gary Matulevich of Hop Bottom; and Bethene Summers of Hallstead who accepted the scholarship for her daughter Cassandra. Each student received scholarship money in the amount of $500.

Assemblyman Pete Lopez calls for Power Authority to send relief aid to recovering communities in 127th Assembly District Assemblyman Pete Lopez (R, C, ISchoharie) has sent a letter to the two top leaders of the New York Power Authority (NYPA), Michael Townsend, chairman, and Gil Quinones, acting president and CEO, requesting that they fast-forward discussions regarding reauthorizing the operating license for the Blenheim-Gilboa Pumped Storage Power Project in light of the impact Tropical Storms Irene and Lee had on the region.

Assemblyman Lopez wrote to the NYPA executives, “I am concerned that if we do not take necessary steps to support the hardest hit areas of these storms (i.e., Schoharie, Middleburgh, Prattsville, Ashland, and Windham) there is a serious risk that these communities will never make a full recovery. With that in mind, I am respectfully requesting your active support in fast-forwarding the upcoming reauthorization process of identifying and awarding economic benefits that will be available to Schoharie, as well as northern Greene and Delaware counties, during this complicated, multiyear process.”

“As the residents in my district continue to struggle to rebuild in the wake of two tropical storms that devastated many families and community members, we are coming to the realization that emergency aid and financial relief provided through traditional programs may not be sufficient to meet a seem-

ingly endless and ever-growing list of needs,” he continued. “Clearly, the intent to remain in the host community is there, as the Power Authority completed a $135 million life extension and modernization effort for the Blenheim-Gilboa Pump Storage Project in May of 2010.”

The Assemblyman also sent copies of the letter to the governor, the two United States Senators from New York, area members of Congress, Senator Jim Seward, the commissioner of the state Office of General Services, the regional manager for the BlenheimGilboa Power Project, the public and governmental affairs manager for NYPA, the chairman of the Schoharie County board of supervisors, the chairman of the Delaware County board of supervisors and the chairman of the Greene County legislature.

“I have been advised that the first phase of the reauthorization process will begin very soon and last approximately two years,” Lopez said. “After that, federal law provides a six-month window for NYPA to submit the notice of intent to re-license the project. We must find a way to advance the flow of any potential re-licensing funds that may be awarded by NYPA to our local communities as quickly as possible.

The residents in my district impacted by these storms need help now. We can’t afford to wait.”

Farmers to celebrate resilience at 21st annual PASA conference MILLHEIM, PA — The Pennsylvania Association for Sustainable Agriculture (PASA) announces the 21st Annual Farming for the Future Conference to be held Feb. 1-4, 2012 at the Penn State Conference Center Hotel in State College, PA, around the theme, “Breaking Ground for a New Agriculture: Cultivating Versatility and Resilience.”

Over the past two decades, the Farming for the Future Conference has secured a reputation as a premiere gathering place for leaders in the global sustainable food movement.

The 2012 conference is expected to attract more than 2,000 farmers, chefs, students, business leaders and others from over 30 U.S. states and several foreign nations. Conference programming is slated to highlight the resilience of the growing movement while taking stock of obstacles that threaten its progress.

“This year, sustainable farmers in Pennsylvania and beyond have endured historic flooding, changing government regulations, and extensive corporate spending aimed at marginalizing their way of producing food,” said Brian Snyder, PASA’s executive director. “The 21st annual conference will be a celebration of the spirit of resilience and resourcefulness that permeates this growing movement and propels it through adversity into the future.”

The ethos of innovation that characterizes the sustainable food movement is expressively articulated in the work of the conference’s featured speakers.

Keynoter Brian Halweil is a senior fellow at the Worldwatch Institute, editor of Edible East End magazine and co-publisher of Edible Brooklyn and Edible Manhattan magazines. Halweil’s Eat Here: Reclaiming Homegrown Pleasures in a Global Supermarket, named one of Audubon Magazine’s “Top 10 Sustainable Food Books,” pairs a frank critique of the modern-day food system with profiles of farmers and activists who are changing the way we produce and consume food.

Halweil recognizes that doom and gloom reporting often fails to bring about change. “What does inspire people to change their behavior,” said Halweil in a presentation for TEDxManhattan, “are the glimmers of hope that often show up on the margins.”

Shannon Hayes, main speaker for the PASA-bilities Series Plenary, is also well versed in

searching for inspiration at the margins of society.

In her most recent book, Radical Homemakers: Reclaiming Domesticity from a Consumer Culture, Hayes visits kitchens, root cellars and gardens around the country to interview families who are eschewing mainstream culture in order to pursue lifestyles that increase self-reliance and strengthen communities.

The conference will present numerous other leaders of sustainable agriculture, including holistic orchardist Michael Phillips, homesteading guru Harvey Ussery, bio-extensive market farmers Anne and Eric Nordell, permaculture expert Dave Jacke, organic grain pioneer Mary-Howell Martens, and third-generation farmer of Polyface Farm Daniel Salatin

(son of celebrity farmer Joel Salatin). In addition to more than a dozen full-day pre-conference tracks and over 100 conference workshops, Farming for the Future will host a full schedule of events and activities, including a seed swap, live music and a juried exhibition of art inspired by the conference theme.

“The sustainable food system revolution is just now reaching its stride,”

said Snyder. “We look forward to the 2012 Farming for the Future Conference as an opportunity for groundbreakers of all kinds to gather, celebrate, learn, and plan together for a sustainable future.”

Arden Tewksbury, Manager of the Progressive Agriculture Organization (Pro-Ag) from Meshoppen, PA, announced on Oct. 11 that Senator Robert P. Casey, Jr. (D-PA) recently introduced the Federal Milk Marketing Improvement Act of 2011. The bill is identified as S-1640.

Dennis Boyanowski, President of Pro-Ag said, “It’s rewarding to have a U.S. Senator that recog-

nizes that all dairy farmers need a new milk pricing formula that will cover their cost of production, plus have an opportunity to realize a profit from their dairy farm.”

S-1640 determines the value of milk used for manufactured dairy products by using the National Average Cost of producing milk as determined by the Economic Research Service (ERS), a division of the United

States Department of Agriculture (USDA).

The ERS determines the cost of producing several agriculture commodities.

According to Tewksbury, Senator Casey, who resides in Scranton, PA, has long recognized the need for all dairy farmers across the United States to receive a realistic stable price for their milk. S-1640 is geared to fulfill the Sena-

Senator Bob Casey (L-R), Jr. (D-PA) discusses the Federal Milk Marketing Improvement Act of 2011 with Arden Tewksbury, Manager, Pro-Ag. Recently, Senator Casey introduced the Act, now known as S-1640, or the Casey dairy bill, which should help dairy farmers.

Photo courtesy Arden Tewksbury, Pro-Ag tor’s position.

Figures released by Pro-Ag clearly indicate that during 2009 the dairy farmers in Federal Order #1 (the Northeast) received an average pay price of $13.01 per cwt.

This pay price was approximately $9 per cwt below the dairymen’s cost of production. During 2009, in the Northeast, this $13.01 per cwt price generated only $130,000 for a dairy farmer producing one million pounds of milk annually.

S-1640, if it had been in effect in 2009, would have generated approximately $230,000. John Tewksbury, a dairy farmer from Susquehanna County who serves as Vice-President of Pro-Ag, said these figures clearly illustrate why dairy farmers have been experiencing difficult times.

S-1640, which now can be referred to as the Casey Bill, also calls for a milk supply program (if needed) which will be paid for by dairy farmers, not the USDA. President Boyanowski wants everyone to realize that the Casey bill is not geared to cost the U.S. government any money.

The Casey bill also addresses the problem of unneeded, bothersome imported dairy products.

The Pro-Ag Manager concluded by saying, “we are already receiving calls from dairy farmers across the United States illustrating their support for the Casey bill.”

President Boyanowski concluded by saying, “I want to thank Bob Casey for introducing a dairy bill that will help all U.S. dairy farmers.”

Countless numbers of dairy farmers and consumers had notified Casey’s office illustrating their support for S-1640.

We urge all dairy farmers, consumers and business people to contact their local U.S. Congressmen and U.S. Senators to urge them to support S-1640, the Casey dairy bill.

Pro-Ag can be reached at 570-833-5776.

HARRISBURG. PA — State Treasurer Rob McCord announced Sept. 21 that farmers and volunteer fire, ambulance, and rescue squads facing a Sept. 30 deadline to apply for liquid fuel tax refunds now have an extra month to submit their applications to the Pennsylvania Board of Finance and Revenue.

McCord, who serves as the board’s chairman, said the extension should help farmers and volunteer fire and EMS squads that are trying to recover and regroup from damaging floods earlier this month.

“Volunteer fire and EMS squads worked around the clock to serve and protect their communities during the

recent floods, and Pennsylvania farmers are focused on salvaging their crops in the wake of dangerous weather,” McCord said. “These people all have enough to worry about — without additional concerns over whether they can file their liquid fuel tax refund applications on time. This extension will give those farmers and heroic volunteer squads the additional time they need to regroup and concentrate on recovery.”

McCord noted the extension applies to farmers in 27 counties declared federal disaster areas: Adams, Bradford, Bucks, Chester, Columbia, Cumberland, Dauphin, Delaware, Lancaster, Lebanon, Lehigh, Luzerne, Lycoming,

Monroe, Montgomery, Montour, Northampton, Northumberland, Perry, Philadelphia, Schuylkill, Snyder, Sullivan, Susquehanna, Union, Wyoming and York.

Any agricultural producer who uses liquid fuels — such as gasoline or undyed diesel — as part of their production operation is eligible to apply for a refund. Producers may claim fuel used to operate regular licensed vehicles as part of production within a 25 mile radius of the farm. Trucks, pickups, vans, and four-wheel drive vehicles, as well as machinery that requires fuel to operate, are eligible.

Volunteer fire, ambulance, and res-

cue squads incorporated as a non-profit are also eligible for this refund for liquid fuels taxes on gasoline and clear diesel. Squads must provide a copy of their Articles of Incorporation or Charter as well as proof of liquid fuels tax payment when applying for the refund.

The board’s application deadline extension is in line with other extensions the Internal Revenue Service and the Pennsylvania Department of Revenue instituted for state and federal taxes.

The Northeast Organic Farming Associations of New York (NOFA-NY), Vermont (NOFA-VT), Connecticut (CT NOFA), Massachusetts (NOFA/Mass), New Hampshire (NOFA-NH) and New Jersey (NOFA-NJ) and the Maine Organic Farmers and Gardeners Association (MOFGA) have been granted funds for their proposed project, “Cultivating a New Crop of Farmers from Apprenticeship to Independence” by the National Institute for Food and Agriculture, through the USDA Beginning Farmer and Rancher Development Program. This collaborative project will allow each organization to boost their Beginning Farmer outreach through educational programs, networking opportunities and overall support to aspiring and beginning farmers and the experienced farmers who help to train them in the art and science of agriculture.

All state chapters will launch an online apprentice and host farm directory to ease the process of matching would-be farm apprentices with host farms and farmer-trainers. In conjunction with this matching directory, NOFA-NY will design, test and publish a tracking tool to guide beginning farmers’ progress through a set of core farming competencies. In future years,

a similar directory will be available to help experienced and new farmers find each other and enter into a mentormentee type of relationship. The programs and resources may vary by state, in some instances including land-access support.

Each chapter will organize a Beginning Farmer workshop track at their annual educational winter conference and provide scholarships to beginning farmers. The collaborative NOFA Summer Conference will include similar opportunities.Spring, summer and fall in-field technical skills workshops will also be held in each state to address a set of skills needed to start farming successfully.Each summer event will include an opportunity for the participants to gather and network with their peers.

All chapters will develop a Journeyperson Farmer program in their each state in future years. MOFGA has created a highly successful model of this program which provides an educational stipend, resources and targeted support to newly independent farmers for a two-year period. Each chapter will follow this example as they roll out this form of new farmer incubation support, beginning with a small pilot group in 2012.

Disaster Recovery Center set to open in Oneida County ALBANY, NY — A state and federal Disaster Recovery Center (DRC) opened in Oneida County on Thursday, Oct. 13.

The center is located at the Fire Department, 171 Oriskany Boulevard, Whitesboro, NY. The DRC will assist individuals, households and businesses affected

by Tropical Storm Lee and the subsequent flooding, according to state and federal officials.

Operating hours will be 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., Monday to Saturday, through Thursday, Oct. 27.

The centers will be staffed with disaster-recovery specialists who can provide information and answer questions about storm-related assistance, Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) officials said.

FEMA strongly recommends that persons adversely affected by Tropical Storm Lee register before visiting a DRC. By phone, call the FEMA Helpline at 800-6213362. The toll-free line is open from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. ET, seven days a week until further notice. People with speech disabilities can use the TTY number, 800-4627585. Applicants can also register online at www.DisasterAssistance.gov or with any web-enabled mobile device or smartphone at m.fema.gov. Follow the link to “apply online for federal assistance.”

Information needed when registering with FEMA includes the address of the damaged property, names of those living in the household, a general description of the damage, the Social Security number of any family member living in the home, the extent of insurance coverage and certain other information needed to expedite the process.

New York state agencies will join FEMA to provide services to the public at the centers.

These include, but are not limited to, information about state disaster aid and help for unemployed persons and displaced workers as a result of the storm; information for senior citizens about state-funded programs; access to forms and services pertaining to motor vehicle issues; coordination and assistance with any

needs for daycare services; and access to MyBenefits pre-screening tool.

Representatives of these and other agencies will participate as determined by need.

Also on hand at the Disaster Recovery Centers will be specialists from the Small Business Administration (SBA) who can explain the lowinterest loan packages available to individuals,

nonprofits and businesses of any size. These loans are for the repair or replacement of real estate and/or personal property damaged by the storm and related flooding, officials said. People who register with FEMA will be sent a loan application from the SBA. No one is obligated to take out a loan, according to the SBA. Applicants have six months after ap-

proval to decide whether to accept the loan.

FEMA’s temporary housing assistance and grants for transportation, medical and dental, and funeral expenses do not require individuals to apply for an SBA loan. Applicants who receive SBA loan applications must submit them to SBA to be eligible for assistance that covers per-

sonal property, vehicle repair or replacement and moving and storage expenses.

FEMA’s mission is to support our citizens and first responders to ensure that as a nation we work together to build, sustain, and improve our capability to prepare for, protect against, respond to, recover from, and mitigate all hazards.

Professional Dairy Managers’ Nov. 3 forum to highlight cow comfort Dairy producers will have the opportunity to learn how basic cow comfort can make a huge difference in profitability at the Dairy Industry Issue Forum planned by the Professional Dairy Managers of Pennsylvania (PDMP) on Thursday, Nov. 3, at the Lebanon Expo Center, Lebanon, beginning at 9 a.m. The Forum is open to all dairymen.

Featured speaker will be Dr. Gordie Jones, wellknown dairy veterinarian and consultant, who brings experience from his Central Sands Dairy LLC, home to 3,800 Jersey, and Holstein/Jersey crossbred cows in Nekoosa, WI, where it was founded in 2007.

This dynamic, worldrenowned speaker brings a simple but highly entertaining message on the importance of basic cow comfort in increasing productivity and enhancing profitability. His “Back to Basics” philosophy of respect and consideration for keeping cows comfortable is one that has practical application for dairies of every size.

Jeff Ainslie, Red Barn Consulting, chaired the planning committee and will serve as moderator for the day. “We are delighted to have Dr. Jones bring his expertise both as a consultant and as a dairy owner and partner, he said. “Cow comfort is a core, foundational principle for a dairy herd of any size or shape, and Dr. Jones’s presentation will reinforce this basic belief and its importance to productivity.”

Mike Hosterman, Ag Choice Farm Credit business consultant, will discuss the economic impact of cow comfort using benchmark numbers.

“It is attention to detail that makes all the difference in profitability, whatever the size of your herd.” Hosterman said, “You have to take care of your cows.”

A producer panel featuring Tony Brubaker, Brubaker Farms, Mount Joy, Lancaster County; Joel Krall, Furnace Hill Holsteins, Lebanon, Lebanon County; and Jones will offer further insights into getting “Back to Basics.” Attendees will have plenty of time to ask questions and add thoughts in this session.

Following lunch at noon, sponsored by Novus International, participants will travel on their own to nearby Furnace Hill Holsteins, where they can see the dairy facilities that Krall operates with partner Tim Crouse. Their 150 cow herd produces 110 pounds of milk per cow per day. The farm was started by Kralls’ par-

ents, Tom and Shirley Krall, advocates of quality cow care.

PDMP’s annual meeting, including election of directors, will precede the forum. With sponsorship support from American Farm Products, BouMatic, Mid-Atlantic Dairy Association, MidAtlantic Farm Credit, Red Barn Consulting, Select Sires and White

Oak Mills, PDMP is able to offer this program at affordable registration fees. Cost for the Forum is $25 per person for PDMP members; designed to make it possible for a farm’s entire operation team can attend.

The standard non-member fee is $75 per person.

Registration includes lunch and the farm tour.

The Dairy Advancement Act captures the federal policy concerns expressed by the industry at countless public forums held across the United States. This bill takes a refreshing and progressive approach at improved transparency, growing global markets, encouraging new product development and offering safety net options.

These issues are important to the dairy farmer milking 60 cows and the dairy farmer milking 6,000 cows, as well as

the processors and manufacturers of dairy products.

Many manufacturing plants are designed to produce inventoried commodities covered by the current Dairy Product Price Support Program, not necessarily products that the markets demand. Repealing the Dairy Product Price Support Program saves taxpayer dollars and sends a clear signal to our global trading partners that the United States will be a depend-

able supplier of dairy products that are in demand and to clear those inventories even when market prices are low.

This bill makes available low interest loans to manufacturers to encourage investment in retrofitting their plants to adjust to this change by focusing on making products that have broader demand. The U.S. dairy industry needs to take advantage of all marketing opportunities by aligning our increasing production with

the expanding global opportunities as well as developing new domestic products.

This bill also directs the Secretary to establish a two-class system for classifying milk under the federal milk marketing orders. Simplifying classification with two classes, fluid milk and manufactured products, will allow market forces to work and put competition back in the federal order system for milk used for manufactured products. The

competition will result in improved producer revenue and encourage new product development.

This bill also improves dairy price and volume reporting by expanding the reportable commodities and increasing the frequency of reporting to enhance market transparency and to better reflect current market prices. This in turn will improve price discovery.

Since 2002, dairy farmers have benefited from the Milk Income Loss Contract (MILC) safety net.

This bill gives dairy producers a choice by allowing them to continue to participate in the MILC program or to receive sup-

port for the Livestock Gross Margin-Dairy (LGM-Dairy) program as a risk management tool by insuring their margins for future months.

Producers may also buyup coverage on additional pounds of milk at their own expense.

The Dairy Advancement Act aligns federal dairy policy with the global realities of the 21st century. It was developed by listening very closely to dairy producers and experts from all segments of the dairy industry. It simplifies and adds transparency to an overly complex system and gives producers safety net options.

Fellowship of Christian Farmers Hurricane Irene and Tropical Storm Lee recovery effort The Fellowship of Christian Farmers, International needs your help coordinating a Hurricane and tropical Storm recovery campaign. Farmers are contacting the FCFI Home Office regarding how to help dairymen with feed and repairs to damaged homes and buildings in New England, New York and Pennsylvania.

FCFI Area Leader, William Brown, Marcy, NY and FCFI Board member and Prayer Guide coordinator, Clark Phillips, North Collins, NY, spent a week in Schoharie, NY, repairing a damaged dairy barn and removing “big” trash items from fields covered with flash flood waters. A team of 11 farmers are describing the damage as that you “have to be here to believe it.”

Would you e-mail or call the FCFI

Home Office to let them know how you and your neighbors are doing? E-mail photos of either Hurricane Irene or Tropical Storm Lee damage to FCFI to tell the story to other farmers. Your email address helps to quickly stay in touch with you to organize to help our neighbors in need.

The Fellowship of Christian Farmers Int. is in communication with the Vermont Agency of Agriculture to waive U.S. Custom fees to ship Quebec hay in to Vermont dairies that have lost all hay and corn silage. Hay and silage will need to be shipped in a Tropical Storm Lee hay lift. Your help is needed.

Please contact Dennis Schlagel, Executive Director at 309-530-7004 or email fellowship@fcfi.org

The Fellowship of Christian Farmers Rapid Response team spent four days on the Van Aller Farm in Middleburg, NY. Hurricane Irene dumped 12 inches of rain across the Schoharie Valley Aug. 28 on ground that was already saturated with moisture.

Team members included Clark & Sue Phillips, Ed & Gail Westfall, William and Kathy Brown, Steve Hutton, George Steven, and Jim Wolford. Bill Brown, Marcy, NY, is the Area Leader for the Fellowship of Christian Farmers. Clark Phillips, North Collins, NY, is an FCFI National Board member.

The Fellowship of Christian Farmers Rapid Response team worked at picking up trash left all over the Van Aller farm. Refrigerators were found in standing corn fields.

Firewood and entire trees uprooted were strewn across the farm place. The dairy barn in the background required the removal of cow mattresses and a foot of silt washed into the building. High pressure washers were used to totally clean the barn so new cow mattresses could be installed.

Flash flood water changed the course of the Schoharie River. Ten feet of flood water ran through the Van Aller farm. The farm house sustained basement and first floor damage. Sheetrock “wicked” water up the walls and the furnace had to be replaced. This fall and winter crews will be needed with wiring and drywall skills to rebuild farm dwellings in Schoharie County.

What once was a fertile pasture is now the river bottom of a flash flood tributary of the Schoharie River. Four feet of rocks, silt, uprooted trees, and garbage was deposited on this pasture. “You have to see this in person to appreciate the scale of the flash flooding in Schoharie County,” said FCFI Area Leader William Brown Marcy, NY.

The Schoharie Valley has beautiful fields of corn for grain and silage. Hurricane Irene’s flash flooding destroyed entire fields in the valley by washing out stands of corn or by severely knocking corn down.

Standing corn also had its feed value impacted by silt contamination. Dairymen in the Schoharie Valley need hay, silage and hay to make it through the winter.

The Van Aller farm silos did not sustain damage to silage inside. A Cat endloader was used to load up logs, rocks, and silt onto trucks. The Fellowship of Christian Farmers Rapid Response Team hauled in tools needed to equip the crew. It will take two years to repair all the damage from the Aug. 28 Hurricane Irene. Neighbors helping neighbors is a rural American tradition and Biblical principle that needs to be deployed this fall and winter to assist dairy families going through the devastation of a lifetime storm.

Great opportunity here for the handyman! This is a sale not to miss!

As part of his ongoing efforts to assist the seven counties in the 127th Assembly District recover from Tropical Storms Irene and Lee, Assemblyman Pete Lopez (R, C, I-Schoharie) is calling for a Joint Legislative Hearing of the Assembly and Senate Environmental Conservation Committees to discuss and take action on ensuring the structural safety and management of the Gilboa Dam and BlenheimGilboa Pump Storage Power Project.

“During Tropical Storm Irene, sensor system alarms were triggered and then active montitoring and communications systems at the dam failed, even as waters surged to record levels, rivaling the flow over the American side of Niagara Falls at some 150,000 cubic feet of water per second. The next day, a false warning was transmitted that the dam had been breached, causing widespread panic in the community; this was amplified as one Albany television station erroneously reported that the dams had indeed burst. A week later during Tropical Storm Lee, the sirens at the Gilboa Dam malfunctioned and emergency workers had to call residents to a second round of evacuations.”

Constructed between 1920 and 1927, the 1,800-foot long Gilboa Dam impounds the Schoharie Reservoir.

The century-old dam holds back 19.5 billion gallons of water that is used to provide New York City residents with approximately 16 percent of their

drinking water supply. The dam is operated by the New York City Department of Environmental Protection (NYCDEP) and the Blenheim-Gilboa Pumped Storage Power Project is managed by the New York Power Authority.

According to the 2010 United States census, over 32,000 people live in Schoharie County — many of whom live directly in the path of a potential dam-breach. To ensure their protection, Assemblyman Lopez wants the joint legislative hearing to focus on the structural integrity of the dam, emergency and safety protocols, utilization of the dam for flood control purposes, and indemnification and other issues that impact homes, farms, businesses, schools, municipal buildings and other properties downstream of the facility.

Assemblyman Lopez said, “Although it is commendable that NYCDEP has offered funds toward repairing the dam’s sirens, we cannot take any risk of a dam breach or that failed emergency systems will endanger lives. The people in my district, particularly those who live downstream from the dam, have been through more than enough in the last two months. They have lost their homes, their farms, their businesses, their schools, their libraries and town halls. The very least we can do as legislators is to take action to ensure their safety, to give them some peace of mind. This is why we need to hold a joint legislative hearing as soon as possible.”

SBA Economic Injury Disaster Loans available in New York State following Secretary of Agriculture Disaster Declaration The U.S. Small Business Administration announced on Sept. 29 that federal economic injury disaster loans are available to small businesses, small agricultural cooperatives, small businesses engaged in aquaculture and most private non-profit organizations of all sizes located in New York State as a result of the excessive rain, high winds and hail that occurred from April 1 through June 15, 2011.

The SBA’s disaster declaration includes the following counties: Albany, Columbia, Delaware, Dutchess, Franklin, Genesee, Greene, Hamilton, Herkimer, Jefferson, Lewis, Monroe, Montgomery, Niagara, Orange, Orleans, Otsego, Putnam, Rockland, Saint Lawrence, Schenectady, Schoharie, Sullivan, Ulster, and Westchester in New York.

“When the Secretary of Agriculture issues a disaster declaration to help farmers recover from damages and losses to crops, the Small Business Administration issues a declaration to eligible entities affected by the same disaster,” said Frank Skaggs, director of SBA’s Field Operations Center East in Atlanta.

Under this declaration, the SBA’s Economic Injury Disaster Loan program is available to eligible farmrelated and nonfarm-related entities that suffered financial losses as a direct result of this disaster. With the exception of aquacultural enterprises, agricultural producers, farmers and ranchers are not eligible to apply to SBA. The loan amount can be up to $2 million with interest rates of 3 percent for private non-profit organizations of all sizes and 4 percent for small businesses, with terms up to 30 years. The SBA determines eligibility based on the size of the applicant, type of activity and its financial resources. Loan amounts and terms are set by the SBA and are based on each applicant’s financial condition. These working capital loans may be used to pay fixed debts, payroll, ac-

counts payable, and other bills that could have been paid had the disaster not occurred. The loans are not intended to replace lost sales or profits.

Disaster loan information and application forms may be obtained by calling the SBA’s Customer Service Center at 800-659-2955 (800-877-8339 for the deaf and hard-of-hearing) Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., and Saturday and Sunday from 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. ET or by sending an email to disastercustomerservice@sba.gov. Loan applications can be downloaded from www.sba.gov. Completed applications should be mailed to: U.S. Small

Business Administration, Processing and Disbursement Center, 14925 Kingsport Road, Fort Worth, TX 76155.

Those affected by the disaster may also apply for disaster loans electronically from SBA’s Web site at https://disasterloan.sba.gov/ela/.

Completed loan applications must be returned to SBA no later than May 2, 2012.

It’s National Popcorn Poppin’ Month The autumn season brings out witches, goblins and ghosts and one of the most favorite celebrations of the year: National Popcorn Poppin’ Month.

For the child in us all there’s also Halloween, but National Popcorn Poppin’ Month is a month-long celebration, which means plenty of time to enjoy America’s most popular “poppable” snack. Grab a handful and you’re helping consume some of the 16 billion quarts Americans eat each year. That’s roughly 51 quarts per man, woman and child.

Popcorn’s popularity is partially due to its irresistible aroma and taste, but it’s also a food that’s long been a part of American culture, associated with good times. Curious kids love watching the magical transformation from a hard seed to soft, fluffy snack while budget conscious parents love its “cheap eats” status. And everyone can appreciate that popcorn is a whole grain, providing carbohydrates and fiber to the diet, and naturally low in fat and calories.

With all those reasons to love popcorn (as if you really needed them) why not scare up this frightfully good treat, compliments of the Popcorn Board (www.popcorn.com).

Witchy Popcorn Balls

Makes: 8 (4-inch) popcorn balls Preparation time: 40 minutes Ingredients: 16 chocolate wafer cookies 3 quarts popped popcorn 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) butter or margarine 3 cups miniature marshmallows 3 tablespoons (1/2 of a 3-ounce box) lime gelatin dessert mix Green food color, optional 8 chocolate ice cream cones 3/4 cup chocolate chips Orange sugar sprinkles, placed in a small dish Jelly beans, candy corn, licorice string Directions: 1. Spread a sheet of wax (or parchment) paper over a work surface and place the wafer cookies on it.

2. Spray a large mixing bowl with cooking spray and place popcorn inside.

3. In a medium saucepan, melt butter over low heat.

Stir in marshmallows and gelatin dessert powder until marshmallows are melted and mixture is smooth. If desired, adjust color with a drop or 2 of food color.

Pour over popcorn and mix well until coated.

4. Spray hands with cooking spray and press firmly to form into 8 balls. Place balls on 8 of the wafer cookies. Press candy decorations into popcorn balls to form eyes, nose and mouth.

5. Place chocolate chips in a small microwave-safe bowl. Cover and heat for 10 seconds. Stir chocolate to aid melting. Repeat as needed until chocolate is melted and smooth.

6. Spoon about 1/2 teaspoon melted chocolate onto the top of each popcorn ball. Press a few licorice strings into chocolate to form ‘hair’.

7. Dip cone edges into melted chocolate and then into orange sugar sprinkles. Place on remaining wafer cookies to form witches hat. Place hats onto popcorn balls. Allow chocolate to set for about 45 minutes before serving.

8. Serve or seal individually in plastic wrap for storage.

Trick or Treat!

36 million

The estimated number of potential trick-or-treaters in 2009 — children 5 to 13 — across the United States. This number is up about 190,000 from a year earlier. Of course, many other children — older than 13, and younger than 5 — also go trick-or-treating.

UNIVERSITY PARK, PA — Managing for success is the theme of the Dairy Middle Managers Conference offered Nov. 8 in Harrisburg, PA, by the Penn State Extension Dairy Team. The conference is designed specifically for dairy middle managers.

“Middle managers are critical to the success of dairies. They put dairy owners’ decisions into practice and deal with the day-to-day challenges of managing people and cows,” explained conference coordinator Dr. Lisa Holden, associate professor of Penn State Dairy and Animal Science. “The Middle Manager’s Conference was created to help middle managers develop the management and leadership skills they need to make positive changes in their operation while keeping front-line employees happy and productive,” she added.

The conference focuses on building management skills in a highly interactive format that encourages discussion and networking with peers. Keynote speaker is Bret Bossard, co-owner, Barbland Dairy LLC, Fabius, NY, who will present “Intern to Partner: An Open Mind has Opened Doors.”

Bossard grew up on a 60-cow registered dairy in Western New York. While earning a bachelor's degree from Cornell University, he worked as an intern on Barbland Dairy. Upon graduating, he was hired by Barbland full-time as

an assistant herdsman and managed a start-up 200-cow satellite dairy. In 2008, Barbland Dairy re-organized and Bossard now co-owns the dairy with two partners. Barbland Dairy has a milking herd of 1,300 cows at multiple sites. The dairy grows all its own forages on 2,600 acres, half of which is owned by the partners. All heifers are raised on site. The dairy has 28 fulltime and six part-time employees.

“Bret’s experience in managing people and cows as both a dairy manager and co-owner gives him a unique perspective on what it takes to build and manage a successful dairy team. His keynote will address how he progressed from the bottom of the dairy to the top over a five-year period. He'll share some of the successes and failures of his own transition from a tiestall upbringing to managing a 1,300cow dairy,” explained Holden.

Other conference speakers and their topics include: Managing Hispanic and Non-Hispanic Employees: Communicating in a Chain of Command. Presented by Santiago Ledwith, dairy coach/consultant of Action Dairy of Canandaigua, NY. Calving, Calf Care and Fresh Pen Management: Presented by Andrew Holloway, DVM, PAS, technical consultant, Elanco Animal Health Profitable Parlor Operation — A pan-

As the weeks before the application deadline steadily tick away, the National Corn Growers Association reminds members that it, along with the BASF Corporation, will again award five $1,000 scholarships to undergraduate and graduate students pursuing a degree in an agriculture-related field during the 2012-13 school year.

“While the Dec. 9 deadline may still seem distant, it is important to note how quickly time passes for students busy with their studies,” said Brandon Hunnicutt, NCGA’s Grower Services Action Team Chair. “Completion by the deadline is required for consideration,

and NCGA hopes that all interested parties are able to submit. This program fosters tomorrow’s leaders. Reminding qualified students to apply is a proactive step to better the future of the industry.”

Applicants for the NCGA Academic Excellence in Agriculture Scholarship Program must be entering at least their second undergraduate year or any year of graduate study, and they, or a parent or legal guardian, must be an NCGA member. Scholarship applications must be postmarked on or before Dec. 9.

Scholarship recipients will be select-

ed in early 2012. Recipients and a parent or guardian will enjoy travel and lodging to attend a portion of the 2012 Commodity Classic in Nashville, TN, to be recognized at the NCGA Awards Banquet and have the opportunity to

learn more about modern agriculture.

This marks the fifth year for the program partnership between BASF and NCGA. Source: NCGA News of the Day, Tuesday, Oct. 11

veys mailed, some producers will be contacted by phone in November.

NTCA sees this as a great match with the Northern Tier Buy Fresh Buy Local chapter and also as part of the NTCA mission to support and promote the historic tradition of farming in the region. An advisory committee of farmers has been formed to create an “action plan” that reflects the needs of regional organic producers (certified and non-certified). The survey will help the committee in determining what those needs might be.

If you are a farmer or grower using organic methods and did not receive a survey in the mail, the six page form can also be downloaded from these Web sites: www.northerntierbfblcom; www.ntculturalalliance.org; www.endlessmountainsrcd.org .

You can request to have a copy mailed to you by calling Kathy at 570268-5055 or stop in at the PA North Country Artisan Center, 1 Washington St., Towanda, PA, and pick one up. The input and insights of farmers in the region are of great value as we try to use the funds available to do work that would be useful to the agricultural community so please help us include as many farms as possible.
