Doing things over, only better

by Richard Smith, Saratoga County Extension Agent On any modern dairy farm change is ongoing. Take raising replacement calves as one example. Many of us remember the days of nurse cows feeding our newborn calves. The one cow that was good around calves we placed in a pen allowing several calves to nurse from her to get that all important good start. Then science changed this thinking towards calves being housed in separate pens or hutches to prevent them from passing illnesses between them. Even the concern of calves sucking one another for an extended period of time was no longer a worry which had its own issues and concerns. This takes a lot more labor than the older nurse cow concept or the calf pen where we would try to manage to deliver several pails at once for group feeding. Separate housing of newborns takes more time and labor but it does eliminate the passing of health issues between calves. It also stopped calves from being able to drink or nurse whenever they needed or wanted too.

Now science has come up with acidified milk replacer and continuous feeding systems bring back the beneficial parts of group feeding and nursing opportunities “ad libitum” or free choice. With this new style of feeding the return of group pens are appearing again. Now much of the labor is becoming more observational and less time spent feeding individual pens. As Amber Barber of Barber Brothers Farm, Schuylerville is quick to say, “This farm milks about 650 cows and I’m down to washing a couple of pails a day.”

She likes the whole idea because now she has time to be a mother and worker. Chad and Amber’s daughter Callie is excited and eager to help make the final mixing for the acidified replacer. The workers at the farm spend much more time observing the calves and watching for one that perhaps needs a little bit more encourage-

ment to nurse. Chad Barber said they couldn’t be happier with the success so far. The calves are healthy and before you know it they are growing like gang busters.

Chad Barber does a lot of personal investigation and research before tackling a project. He was quick to point out that he wasn’t the first to go for this method of starting newborns. He credits Don McEachron from the now famous “Battenkill Creamery” farm family for helping him plan out his renovation project. Besides the extension tours and conferences on calf raising that Chad likes getting ideas from farmers who have firsthand experiences. He also spent time learning how it has worked out for Ron Sheldon another early innovator of continuous feeding with acidified replacer.

Chad had to determine how to construct the facility to allow for the ease of continuous feeding. How many animals per pen or how many square feet per animal, how many nipples per group, are all good questions and the Barbers set out to find the answers that would work for their operation.

Once Chad was armed with his findings he, like any other progressive farmer, had more animals than buildings so it meant more than one ongoing project. His older dry cow barn would be the location of his newborn calf barn. Once retrofitted it would be an ideal location in the hub of the farm, readily available for observation and upwind of the main barns which is ideal for calves. He installed tunnel airflow tubes above the pens to increase the exchange of air continually during the day. To accomplish this newborn barn, Chad had to make plans for a new bred heifer and dry cow barn. It is designed for around 330 head and according to Clint Barber has room for a group of milk cows or two.

One major consideration Chad wanted the feeding center to be in the center of the barn. This makes for

Amber demonstrates the ease of introducing calves to the row of nipples for nursing.

Callie Barber enjoys putting the final touches on a new mix.

Calves in the retrofitted barn have ample room to grow.

easy installation of the feed lines. He studied the square footage needed per calf and his pens have the capacity for 16 heifers per pen. He placed ample number of nipple feeders so that the calves can feed without lengthy waits but with healthy competition. It has worked out extremely well and the day of my visit I found Chad dividing his time among several ongoing projects. Amber was quick to mention that she and Chad had a “dinner” riding on whether Chad would complete this project before their normal increase in calving. The farm holds off calving heifers out in the winter months and this has allowed the barn to handle the new crop of calves efficiently. Once the bred heifers start calving the barn will need all units operating.

Results are always the bottom line on any change to any operation.

According to Chad the newborns are

doing great. With the new system he uses the acidified replacer and has fresh clean water readily available.

Chad estimates this retrofitting operation costs around $156 per calf and the results are well worth it. He remarked that early on the calves eat very little grower but once they start consuming ample grower the milk concentration is reduced until weaning.

The calves I saw were a real nice group of uniform growth calves. They even have a section for bull calves so they could be more marketable.

When visiting with the Barbers in their newborn/weaning barn the calves are healthy and happy. It really doesn’t matter when you walk in there are no calves blatting or looking for feed. As Amber said you can readily observe how they are doing and mixing milk is simple and easy in the central feeding room. It did appear to be a simple and slick operation.

On Saturday, May 19, the 20122013 Wayne County Dairy Court was crowned at the Park Street Complex in Honesdale, PA. Following an interview, the girls enjoyed a dinner buffet from The Red Schoolhouse with their guests. After dinner, the princess elect presented her speech and skit to the crowd. The junior court members were then introduced and welcomed to the group, Kayla Jonas, who gave her introduction speech. Princess elect, Jackie Chyle, then gave her speech on her familys’ farming history, agriculture and her plans for the upcoming year. 2012 Dairy Princess, Autumn Fasceski, then presented each court member with their sash and crown.

Committee Chairperson, Pete Wilken, presented a yellow rose arm bouquet to each court member. Following the crowning ceremony, the traditional auction took place. The proceeds from the auction are used to help the girls fund dairy promotions throughout the county. Auction items are donated by area farms, businesses and families.

Good corn management pays best in the toughest environments

by Sally Colby When corn is in the ground, is it too late to influence yield?

“In looking at yield at the end of the year, I want to know whether I gave up kernel weight or kernel number,” said agronomist John McGillicuddy. “That answer is going to tell me what time of year I’m looking at as far as losses. The plant will give up kernel numbers before it hits dough stage. From dough stage and beyond, it starts giving up kernel weight.”

McGillicuddy says that new moisture testers have very accurate electronic scales that can be used to get good kernel weights. “We can hand-shell some ears and get kernel weights,” he said. “If it’s really wet, you may have to let it sit for a while to dry down because what you want is kernel weight at about 15 percent.”

When it comes to diagnosing corn yield, McGillicuddy says that growers should look at the late season because yield comes from kernel count/acre and kernel weight. “The components of kernel count are ear count, which is based on how many seeds did we drop and how many came up,” he said. “For years, we focused heavily on ear count, because if yield wasn’t where we wanted it, it was because we didn’t produce enough ears/acre.” McGillicuddy added that that could be due to not having enough plants, or too many plants that didn’t have ears.

McGillicuddy says several evaluations will help producers determine where yield problems are. “First of all,

is the population high enough? If I have 33,000 plants and 32,000 of them have ears, that’s very good,” he said. “It’s never 100 percent.”

McGillicuddy added that sometimes the spread is as little as 500/acre, but often as much as 5,000/acre. “Ear count and yield is a tight correlation. If it’s 5,000, what am I going to change to get my last 20 bushels back? Why do I have 5,000 plants that don’t have ears on them?”

The next factor that goes into ear count is which ear do we actually get?

“Most corn varieties set an ear somewhere between 9 and 13 locations,” said McGillicuddy. “Different locations on the ear carry different sizes — typically, the upper one has the biggest potential. If we stress the plant early and it gives up the upper ear and the plant selects the second one that’s dominant, you just bled off 10 percent of your yield potential.”

Pre-harvest evaluation includes determining which ear site is filled.

“Corn is a very, very harsh mother,” said McGillicuddy. “The corn plant starts out with between 9 and 13 potential ears, and very early in life, she picks one of them as her favorite son and spends the rest of the summer killing the rest to save that one.”

Another factor is girth — at least one third of the ears should be in the upper range for girth for that variety. The length of the kernel set is also important. “When we look at the length of a cob,” said McGillicuddy, “we look at how many kernels are established,

how many are pollinated, and how many are we going to sell. Watch for spreads between those numbers.

Typically, we like the length that is pollinated to be somewhere between 8 to 10 less than the length we established.” McGillicuddy added that he looks for a certain amount of tip back, but wants those to be kernels that aborted prior to pollination. “I don’t want to see a spread between length pollinated and length harvested,” he said. “Those are those light, chaffy yellow ones at the tip that suck back.

They already pollinated, started to put dry matter into them then they failed.

Planting too closely or unevenly means plants must compete for nutrients and sunlight, resulting in lower yields.

That’s too late in the game to lose.”

McGillicuddy says that once the kernel is established, pollinated and starts to fill, the toughest part of the battle is over. “If you lose those kernels after pollination, you’re losing way too late in the game,” he said.

McGillicuddy added that’s an area he works with growers to improve because in most years, loss is blamed on water, but nutrition is more often the reason.

The last factor that determines final yield is the size or weight of the kernel, which is the only factor that can be measured after harvest.

McGillicuddy says he doesn’t see any indication that corn is by nighttime temperatures, but does see some influence with accumulating growing degrees in the dark.

McGillicuddy looks at last September when farmers claimed yields were down due to hot weather in July and August. However, he says that yield losses actually happened in June — before it was hot. “Kernel weights were excellent,” he said. “Ears were filled all the way to the tip, but we didn’t have big enough ears. Girth was down, length was down, and that happened in June — not during the heat in July and August.”

“As soon as you blame the weather, you took your most valuable player out of the game. If you assume it’s the weather, you’ve assumed there’s nothing you can do. Good management pays the best returns in the toughest environments.”

by Katie Navarra Contrary to the children’s nursery rhyme, The Three Little Pigs, where the Big Bad Wolf huffed and puffed until he blew the straw house down, buildings made of straw are sturdy, environmentally-friendly, well insulated and an opportunity for farmers to provide affordable housing.

Dick Riseling and Sonja Hedlund, partners and owners of Apple Pond Farm and Renewable Energy Education Center in Callicoon Center, NY (near the Catskills), constructed a two-story house built of straw that has been used to house apprentices and interns as well as to serve as an educational center on the farm.

For less than $5,000 the structure was built from organic materials, most of which came directly from the farm.

An existing knee wall from a silo that had burned was used as the structure’s foundation. Clay used to mortar the structure together also came directly from the farm.

In addition to providing a low cost building option, the straw house is extremely energy efficient. “The R-Value (insulation rating) is up to 54 in the walls and the R-Vale is 80 in the roof,”

Apple Pond Farm

he said. Since finishing the building in 2005, “it has cost less than $50 a year for heating and lighting,” he added.

Because the majority of the building materials came directly from the farm, theoretically, if the windows, door and roof were removed, “it could eventually be pushed over, composted and a great place to plant crops like tomatoes,” he explained. Ideally, the roof too would have been of organic materials. “I had to compromise on the roof and use shingles,” he noted, “I had a thatch roof material on order, but that fell through.”

Apple Pond Farm has hosted over 250 interns from across the United States and the world, all of whom are eager to take up residence in the straw home, which includes two apartments.

“All the interns fight over who gets to live in it,” he chuckled.

While straw is not the first construction material homebuilders consider when building a structure, it is a viable, affordable option.

Prior to building a straw house, Riseling and Hedlund made a commitment to using as many types of renewable energy sources as possible. Ten years ago, a 10 kwh Bergy wind tur-

bine was the first renewable energy system installed on the farm. A few years later, a 10 kwh photovoltaic solar array and an array of rooftop solar thermal tubes were added to the system.

The solar thermal hot water system creates the domestic hot water for the three apartments within the main house. This system in particular is used to pre-heat the radiant tubing within the concrete slab underneath the house, using heat created by the solar array, replacing heating that would have normally required the use of wood.

“The system provides all of the domestic hot water on the farm,” Riseling said, “and it preheats the water in the radiant floor space heating system. It “preheats” the hot water up to 150°F, saving wood that would otherwise be required to heat the home and water.”

In combination, the wind turbine, photovoltaic panels and the solar thermal system generate about 1.5 times the energy consumed by the average American home. When more energy is produced than what is needed onsite, it is delivered to the local electrical grid. Today, nearly 95 percent of the energy needed for day-to-day operation of Apple Pond Farm is generated onsite.

Investing in renewable energy sources is a passion for Riseling and Hedlund. “We are living in a way that is in harmony with the earth,” Riseling explained, “and renewable energy reduces our dependence on nonrenewable greenhouse gas emitting fossil fuel.”

Not only is the duo dedicated to leaving as small a carbon footprint on the farm, they are committed to sharing

their knowledge with others. Apple Pond Farm offers onsite workshops on renewable energy and invite in public schools and other organizations interested in tours and educational days at the farm.

History of Apple Pond Farm and Renewable Energy Education Center Motivated to learn what it meant to be a farmer, Riseling and Hedlund purchased the 80 acres of farmland today known as Apple Pond Farm and Renewable Energy Education Center.

The property was first farmed in 1865.

Riseling and Hedlund purchased the land in 1973. “Before we bought it, it had been condemned for nearly 40 years and was unofficially a dump.”

Neither Riseling or Hedlund had a background in farming. “I was from Chicago and she was from Brooklyn,” he explained.

In the early years, both worked full time jobs, Hedlund as the director of the New York Healthy Heart program and Riseling as a professor concentrating in international relations, fiscal policy and social justice. “We would come up on weekends,” he said of their early days.

For more than 25 years, the 80 acres were farmed with draft horses, Belgians and North American spotted draft horses. Horses raked hay, spread manure, cultivated cornfields and produced more than 100 foals. Chickens, goats, and sheep are raised for eggs, meat and wool. A chemical-free, ecologically-friendly cold frame and unheated hoophouse supplies food throughout the year.

USDA Secretary instructs FSA to proceed with office consolidation plan FSA office consolidations part of USDA’s blueprint for stronger service SYRACUSE, NY — James Barber, New York State Executive Director for the Farm Service Agency (FSA), on May 30 announced that USDA Secretary Thomas A. Vilsack has approved the closure of four FSA county offices in New York State. The offices are scheduled for closure on Aug. 31, 2012.

“FSA places the utmost priority on ensuring that our services to producers remain strong as this consolidation process begins,” said FSA Administrator, Bruce Nelson. “The agency will provide farmers affected by closures an opportunity to choose the most convenient neighboring county office with which to conduct their future business with the agency. In addition, all employees in a closing office will be provided an opportunity to continue their work with FSA.”

As a federal agency, FSA has been affected by widespread budget reductions made by Congress. Since 2011, the Agency has lost 1,230 permanent employees through voluntary early separation and normal retirement. In addition, FSA has been forced to reduce discretionary administrative expenses by over 30 percent in the last fiscal year alone.

The county offices confirmed for closure in New York are: Albany County, Saratoga County, Sullivan County and Yates County.

The closure of these offices will result in producer files being serviced out of a new administrative office. Albany County producer records will be transferred to Schoharie County; Saratoga producer files will be administered out of Washington County; Sullivan producer files will be serviced out of Delaware County and Yates producer files will be administered out of Steuben County.

by Steven E. Smith Born in the waning minutes of Halloween 2011, little Miss Danica May Camacho of Manila, Philippines will forever have the notoriety of being the seven-billionth citizen of the world. The historical event is a reminder of the increasing expectation of U.S. as well as global agriculture production. According to the November 2011 report findings of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations entitled, State of the World’s Land and Water Resources for Food and Agriculture, “world population estimates predict that the global population will reach nine billion people by 2050. The report also projects increased demands for food production due to improved standard of living in the growth regions of Latin America, Russia, China and South East Asia.

These populations will be improving their diets to more protein rich foods such as meat, fish, milk and eggs to total more than 465 million tons of meat and one billion tons of milk.”

Can agriculture continue to meet these expectations? While the innovations in technologies and improved management practices enabled agricultural producers to meet the demands of previous generations, today animal agriculture is experiencing economic pressure from increased cost of feed inputs versus the market price for beef and dairy products.

While beef values are at record highs, the inventory of the U.S. beef herd has declined. According to January 2012 National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) cattle inventory reported just 90.8 million head of cattle and calves which is the lowest level since 1952.

The market value of animals coupled with the high feed cost has generated

this outcome.

Within the Dairy sector, the high value of corn due to increased demand for its use in ethanol production and the export market has also had a resonating effect on the cost of feed ingredients. Further, the volatility of farm commodities has led many agricultural producers to scrutinize the input cost side of production. Livestock producers are assessing the importance of their own forage production practices as well as their expectations for offfarm purchased feed ingredients.

While some managers are focused on purchasing feed ingredients as bulk commodities that blend on farm, others purchase manufactured feeds based on nutrient specifications placing little emphasis on specific feed ingredients to meet their animal performance needs.

Changing the paradigm For some time now, bringing in a few or many commodities on farm has been appealing to farms of all sizes.

Dairy managers with on-farm commodities favor following the market and making either spot purchases or forward contract agreements for various byproducts to use in their entire feed program. By budgeting what they plan to spend on their total feed costs, managers aim to source ingredients on a price basis therefore locking in some of the inputs costs for their operation.

The strategy of using commodities is considered favorable by these producers because they are already mixing feeds on farm anyway so why pay an outside business for blending the same ingredients. Additionally, commoditized operations consider it advantageous to use these on-farm commodities in their dry cow and heifer feeding programs as well.

When considering the challenges

with being commoditized, dairy and beef producers note the need for efficient handling systems that limit the loss (shrink) of the feed inventory.

Further if a producer decides to use on-farm commodities, they will need to make the commitment to be knowledgeable in purchasing as well as engaging in diligent management of the on-farm inventory. In choosing to use on-farm commodities, these producers need to be mindful the business opportunity costs that come as a result of their chosen management system. These “other side of the coin” issues include such things as increased financial outlay needed to purchase the inventory as well as limited flexibility of ingredients to use once the inventory of a given commodity is on farm.

Feeding for nutrients On the other hand, some producers face the impending challenge of increased feed costs with a different perspective. Instead of focusing on the ingredient, it is possible to take a contract on the nutrient analysis instead of the specific ingredients, According to Ellen Durkin, dairy technical support specialist for Nutreco, this strategy offers producers another tool for cost control. “A producer can evaluate their on-farm forages and herd profile and predict the standard needs of their groups. Some make the commitment to locking the price of specific ingredients such as corn meal, distillers or even soybean meal within a formula.

In doing so, they realize an improved and known price going forward without having to own a large on-farm inventory.”

Others have come to the conclusion that animals do not have a set requirement for specific amounts of a feed ingredient but ultimately nutrient

requirements for performance stated Durkin. But going back to their knowledge of their own feeds and herd performance expectation; producers can contract the cost of their feeds going forward.

Feed efficiencies of today and for tomorrow “As we continue to research the complexities of rumen microbiology and fermentation, there will continue to be new innovations available to use in livestock production,” stated Durkin. Since the inception of monensin sold as Rumensin in replacement and then later lactating diets, advancements in ration formulation with this rumen modifier have been refined. In addition, other rumen modifiers have been introduced to complement and result in an additive effect when used in conjunction to monensin. In order to meet the growing demand for production, the technologies will play an essential role in meeting the energy demand of livestock through rumen efficiency from increased beneficial volatile fatty acid production as well as improved starch and fiber digestibility.

There has been no time in history where the farmer has had more mouths to feed than today. As in the past, tomorrow should be a continuation of the tradition of our strength as a nation and moreover a race found in the capacity of our agricultural sectors. That willingness to invest in future production of food and fiber despite the high level of inherent risks is a fundamental element within the makeup of agriculturalists. These advancements in science to better understand the nutrient requirements and methods of feeding our livestock will be a certain solution to feeding our consumers.

Composting for greenhouse operations

by Katie Navarra Fluctuating fuel prices pose an ongoing challenge for greenhouse operations of all sizes and crop specialties. Despite a mild 2011-2012 winter in the Northeast, greenhouse owners are faced with rising energy expenses.

Agricultural operations of all types have sought ways to eliminate utility bills while using waste products available on site. Livestock farms, specifically dairy, are using manure, either in an anaerobic process which creates methane for biogas, or an aerobic process, which captures heat produced by composting manure, to control rising energy expenses.

Greenhouses too, can benefit from the heat generated by composting organic materials. During the composting process, organic materials are aerobically (with oxygen) digested by microorganisms. The end result is heat. The heat produced can be captured and converted into useable energy.

Josh Nelson, compost guru and partner at Agrilab Technologies has advocated the use of a covered composting pad. Aeration channels placed

in the floor pull the heat from the composting material down through the system at an average temperature of 120 degrees (Fahrenheit) and circulate it as needed.

A 36” piece of ADS pipe is the foundation of the entire system. Inside stainless steel ISO #10 pipes fill the chamber. These ISO bars are designed to capture and transfer the heat so that it is useable energy. During the process they will also create condensation. “Because the system is a sealed environment, theoretically the water from the condensation should be pure enough for drinking water for claves,” Nelson explained of a system installed on a New York State dairy farm in 2010.

Composting on a covered pad eliminates the flipping process normally required during the composting process. The finished product can also be used in place of fertilizer to restore nutrients to the soil and, “compost can become a sellable farm product to landscapers and gardeners,” Nelson added.

Constructing a covered compost pad can be expensive. “It is costly and the process of waiting for grants takes a lot

of time,” he explained, “we have come up with an interim, ‘low-tech method’ that can save costs.”

Rather than building a covered composting pad, he is suggesting the use of outdoor bunkers, built much like seasonal skating rinks. “There is a perimeter and the ground is covered with plastic to prevent leaching,” Nelson explained. Once built, the bunker would be loaded with organic waste and instead of changing out the material every 8 weeks as a farm with a bunker would, the material is allowed to run for three months. At the end of three months the system is broken apart, cleaned out and started all over again.

How much energy is produced by composting organic waste?

The amount of energy produced is relative to the amount of raw material is available. “Based on increments of 10 tons for easy calculation, 10 tons of composting material will create 10,000 BTU’s of energy per hour,” Nelson said, “10,000 BTU’s per hour times 24 hours a day results in 240,000 BTU’s/day.”

Compared with diesel fuel, which generates 138,000 BTU per gallon,

composting organic material produces between 850-1,000 BTU’s per ton per hour. “However, composting is like a trickle charge. It generates heat continuously that is going in into an energy bank/battery. The size of the energy bank/battery is based on the end use,” he added.

While Nelson has not yet installed a working system on a greenhouse he is confident it is a viable option for greenhouse owners. He is currently working with several organizations in New England considering the technology to stimulate the economy and lower the surrounding locale’s carbon footprint. “(Several) groups dealing with individuals living in rural, inner-city or low-income areas are considering building a greenhouse and using the heat capture and transfer process as a way to capture organic waste, compost it and use it to generate electricity while creating local jobs,” he noted.

In 2012, Nelson was selected as a Fellow with the Unreasonable Institute to further pursue the impact a heat capture and transfer from aerobic composting system can have in reducing consumption of fossil fuels.

Crop Comments

by Paris Reidhead Field Crops Consultant Mangroves and mangoes Although I lived in Florida, Orlando specifically, from 1953 to 1956, I don’t recall seeing mangroves during that time. When we visited beaches, they were on the Atlantic side, and what I recall about those experiences was a lot of sand and a little sunburn.

The first time I saw mangroves, close enough to touch and walk into, was in January 1968, when, as a senior in Cornell’s Ag College, I was privileged to spend 10 days in Puerto Rico, studying that territory’s tropical livestock production.

As a break from the academic part of our trip, we visited some beaches. On the western shore of that island, which basically divides the Atlantic Ocean from the Caribbean Sea, I waded in far enough to have to swim. A hundred yards or so to the south of the designated swimming area, there was a mass of woody vegetation, maybe 10 feet tall. When asked about these thickets (for want of a better term), the agronomy professor in our tour group told me they were mangroves. My prominent thought at the time was, “why hadn’t more of the mangroves been cleared away so we could have more beach?”

Last week (as I write), I saw man-

groves close up for the first time since the Puerto Rico trip. I’ll discuss mangroves some, and then explain why this tropical vegetation provides useful examples to people in temperate climates (like ours). Using some of the frequent flyer miles which my son (the one in Switzerland) earned, Sue and I visited another son who manages a hotel in St. Petersburg, Florida. He got us really good room rates. Our trip lasted from May 27 to May 31. We did touristy stuff, including eating at an upscale… but reasonably priced… seafood restaurant, with docks for diners who arrived by boat. As I ate my meal of local, freshly harvested scallops, I looked across the narrow inlet and studied the mangroves which linked the shore to the briny water.

Mangroves are true Florida natives.

They thrive in salty environments because they are able to obtain freshwater from saltwater. Some secrete excess salt through their leaves, others block absorption of salt at their roots. Florida’s estimated 469,000 acres of mangrove forests contribute to the overall health of the state’s southern coastal zone. This ecosystem traps and cycles various organic materials, chemical elements, and important nutrients.

Mangrove roots act not only as physi-

cal traps, but provide attachment surfaces for various marine organisms.

Many of these organisms filter water through their bodies and, in turn, trap and cycle nutrients.

The relationship between mangroves and their associated marine life cannot be overemphasized. Mangroves provide protected nursery areas for fishes, crustaceans, and shellfish. They also provide food for a multitude of marine species such as snook, jack, snapper, tarpon, red drum, oyster, and shrimp.

Many animals find shelter in the roots and branches of mangroves. Mangrove branches are rookeries, or nesting areas, for beautiful coastal birds such as roseate spoonbills and brown pelicans.

(One such pelican flew by and stared at me eating my scallops.)

Of the three mangrove species found in Florida (red, black, and white), the red mangrove is probably the most well-known. It typically grows along the water’s edge, and most likely is what I saw through the restaurant’s window. The red mangrove is easily identified by its tangled, reddish roots called “prop-roots”. These roots earn mangroves the title, “walking trees”.

The red mangrove appears to be standing or walking on the surface of the water. All three of Florida’s mangrove species propagate quite uniquely: seeds sprout while still on the trees, then drop into the soft bottom around the base of the trees, or are transported by currents and tides to other suitable locations.

Florida’s mangroves are tropical species, thus are sensitive to extreme temperature fluctuations as well as

subfreezing temperatures. Salinity, water temperature, tidal variations, and soil also affect their growth and distribution. Mangroves occur as far north as Cedar Key on the Gulf coast (about 70 miles north of Tampa) and Cape Canaveral on the Atlantic coast.

Black mangroves can be found farther north in Florida than the other two species. All three species can grow intermixed. People living along the south Florida coasts benefit from mangroves, whose forests protect uplands from storm winds, waves, and floods. The amount of protection afforded by mangroves depends upon the width of the forest. A wide mangrove fringe can considerably reduce wave and flood damage to landward areas by enabling overflowing water to be absorbed into the expanse of forest. Mangroves can help prevent erosion by stabilizing shorelines with their specialized root systems, and they also filter water, maintaining its quality and clarity.

Mangroves can be naturally damaged and destroyed, but human impact has been much more severe.

Florida Marine Research Institute scientists are studying changes in Florida’s coastal habitats, and have evaluated habitat changes by analyzing aerial photographs from the 1940’s and 1950’s, and satellite imagery and aerial photography from the 1980’s. Often the changes illustrate loss of mangrove acreage… losses are often attributed to human activities.

Continuing his efforts to promote products grown in New York State, Assemblyman Bill Magee (D-Nelson) announced he introduced legislation to establish a Farm-to-Senior program (A.10308). The bill would allow the Department of Agriculture and Markets and the state Office for the Aging to work together to coordinate efforts to promote and provide local produce to seniors.

“New York farms are among the best in the nation — and they’re right in our backyard,” Assemblyman Magee said.

“This program would help bring farm

products to seniors who aren’t able to make the trip to our local farmers markets, allowing them the same benefits the rest of us enjoy.”

In 2002, New York State successfully established the Farm-to-School program, bringing fresh, local goods to schools statewide. Assemblyman Magee’s bill would mirror the program and provide the same access to seniors, while expanding a potential new market for farmers. Additionally, the bill would establish a promotional event, known as “New York Golden Harvest: Seniors Week,” to further pro-

mote the program.

“This type of program was so successful in our schools that expanding it for senior living centers just makes sense,” Assemblyman Magee said.

“Branching out beyond our usual markets will be good for farmers and good for our seniors.”

This bill joins Assemblyman Magee’s legislation introduced during May in the push to promote New York-made goods. Assemblyman Magee’s two ear-

lier bills would expand the Pride of NY program by providing designation to restaurants for “Dine: Pride of New York” and to retailers and wholesalers for “Shop: Pride of New York.”

Assemblyman Bill Magee has long fought for measures to help promote agriculture, including helping pass an on-time, fee-free, farm-friendly budget, which included funding for all of the vital agriculture assistance programs.

Crop from A6 located on the southwest Florida coast, and the Gulf of Mexico, has, over the past 100 years, lost over 44 percent of its coastal wetlands acreage; this includes both mangroves and salt marshes. But Mother Nature can re-establish mangrove forest: as tidal flats are colonized by mangroves, tidal flat acreage decreases and mangrove acreage increases.

Spoil islands, created as by-products of dredging, also provide suitable habitat for mangroves. State and local regulations have been enacted to protect Florida’s mangrove forests.

So how does this brief study of mangroves relate to growing crops in the Northeast? When we try to grow any plants, we succeed by doing the best job possible of tying together the inputs needed by that crop. These inputs are soil, water, carbon dioxide, assorted nutrients, assorted animals, as well as tiny critters (with big names) which

are neither plant nor animal. If we destroy any of these inputs sufficiently our crop will perform poorly, or not at all. This is true, whether we’re talking about alfalfa, corn, small grains… or mangroves. For me, it’s just a lot easier to envision what’s really going on with mangroves, particularly when they’ve done a good job of cleaning up the water.

And what about the mangoes? Well, my grandparents, living in Lake Worth, FL, had two mango trees in their back yard, the fruits of which I loved partaking. So it was altogether fitting and proper that Sue and I visited a Florida winery and purchased a bottle of mango wine, to be FEDEXed home. Since my home in Orlando had orange trees, we purchased a bottle of orange wine, so that the mango wine wouldn’t be lonely on its trip north. Both should arrive today.

Nutritional strategies to help cope with heat stress

by Dr. Tom Bass, Renaissance Nutrition, Inc. It is now June and with it begin the hottest four months of the year.

As summer’s heat and humidity grow, so too do the resulting production losses and health risks for dairy cattle — challenges that often persist beyond the return of cooler weather in the fall.

Today’s dairy cows begin to experience heat stress at lower temperatures than many people realize. Earlier guidelines suggested that milk production losses resulting from heat stress started at a temperature-humidity index (THI) of 72.

That equates with an air temperature of 79 degrees at 40 percent relative humidity (RH), or 73 degrees at 85 percent RH. However, these guidelines were based on research done back in the 1950s and 1960s with cows averaging 34 pounds of milk. Recently updated guidelines indi-

cate that, for cows making 77+ pounds of milk, production and reproductive losses begin at an average daily THI of 68 (73 degrees at 40 percent RH, or 68 degrees at 85 percent RH). Even in herds averaging less than 70 pounds of milk, remember that the high producing cows will be negatively affected, and so in turn will the bulk tank average.

Focus on facilities first Heat stress, like most challenges faced by today’s dairy producer, is one that is most effectively addressed with a multi-pronged approach.

The largest and most cost-effective opportunities to reduce heat stress are facility-based. Ensuring that cows have adequate shade and abundant water provision are attainable goals for all dairies. Beyond those considerations, dairies in humid climates (typical of the northeast and mid-At-

lantic regions) can most effectively cool cows by repeatedly wetting cows down and blowing air over them on a cycle that increases in frequency with a higher THI. Blowing hot, humid air over hot cows is ineffective.

Water application (in the holding pen and along the cow feed alley) that soaks cows to the skin is a key component of the equation, as it works in conjunction with a preferred air velocity of 5-8 mph to significantly enhance evaporative cooling, thereby keeping cows from getting as hot as they otherwise would.

Ration formulation

considerations First and foremost, ensure that the dairy ration fed during hot weather is rumenfriendly. Heat-stressed cows are more likely to experience rumen health problems. Daily eating patterns may be altered by hot weather, increasing the risk of slug feeding. Hot cows stand more, and will often pant as a means of trying to cool off. The more they pant, they less they chew their cud, and these two behavioral changes combine to reduce the

amount of saliva that is produced and swallowed. This in turn means less bicarbonate enters the rumen to function as a buffer, and a greater risk of sub-acute rumen acidosis results.

Heat-stressed cows also eat less. In an attempt to compensate for this, past nutritional approaches often included increasing ration energy density, commonly achieved (at least in part) by feeding more grain. Given the rumen health risks already present, feeding more grain (starch) is generally ill-advised. Instead, ration changes should focus on feeding less total and/or

rapidly fermentable starch, more fermentable fiber, and potentially more fat, as diets so formulated should not add to the risk of acidosis. Brown mid-rib (BMR) forages and highfiber (or low starch) byproduct feeds like soy hulls fit well with this nutritional approach. Feeding lower starch rations may reduce feed efficiency, but this measure tends to be poorer for heat-stressed cows to begin with. Furthermore, this approach should help minimize the risk of a significant nutritional contribution to the increase in lameness cases many herds experience in late summer or early fall.

As all dairymen can attest, herd reproductive performance also suffers during hot, humid weather. While effective cow cooling will here again yield the biggest benefits, proper ration formulation may also be of some value. Strive to feed appropriate protein levels. Overfeeding protein (or feeding excess protein relative to the amount of fermentable carbohydrates in the ration) can increase MUN (milk urea nitrogen) levels. If MUNs are significantly elevated, they may further contribute to the reduced conception rates typical of heatstressed cows. Excess

have shown improved rumen function, milk production, and/or feed efficiency when fed to dairy cows under heat stress conditions. Research has also found that cows fed an extract from the fungus Aspergillus oryzae may better tolerate hot weather, with cows making more milk and/or having slightly lower body temperatures in some trials.

Seaweed/kelp (Ascophyllum nodosum) meal and niacin are two other products that have shown benefits in some studies, but not others, when fed to heatstressed cows.

Several studies have shown benefits to increasing ration DCAD (dietary cation-anion difference) levels through the inclusion of sodium bicarbonate and/or potassium carbonate, particularly in early lactation cows.

Feeding additional sodium bicarbonate helps offset the reduced saliva production and rumen buffering experienced by heat-stressed cows.

Cows lose more potassium as they sweat more during hot weather.

Feeding potassium carbonate can help offset this loss and increase the cows’ blood buffering capacity, and often contributes to higher milk production or improved butterfat per-

ration protein may also unnecessarily increase ration costs, depending on the source(s) used.

Ration additives A variety of researchproven feed additives are available that may help with milk production and/or cow health during hot weather. However, nothing works everywhere (except good management!), and for many of the products listed below, the research data has yielded mixed results, with some studies showing a benefit to feeding the product whereas others do not.

centage in the process.

Chromium is a trace mineral that is sometimes fed to transition and early lactation cows.

In several international studies, it has been shown to support higher feed intake and better milk production in heatstressed dairy cows. Rumensin® is a feed additive labeled to improve milk production efficiency in dairy cows that typically generates a strongly positive economic return when it is fed. Research-to-date shows that this improvement in milk production efficiency is maintained in heatstressed cows.

In addition to decreasing milk production and reproductive performance, heat stress will also negatively impact a cow’s immune system.

With this effect in mind, and depending upon the current ration ingredients and nutrient specifications, producers may consider feeding additional vitamin E, chelated/complexed trace minerals, and/or a product containing mannan oligosaccharides (MOS). These nutrients and additives all have some research supporting improved immune function in association with their use.

It is important to consider the use of any of these additives with input from a knowledgeable nutritionist. The additive(s) that are most likely to be appropriate and/or cost-effective may vary somewhat from herd to herd, and over time, depending upon feeding strategies, ration composition, desired response from the cows, milk component concentrations, and milk price.

Envisage the World of 2050 - Nine initiatives to help shape the future The Alltech 28th Annual International Symposium opened with a welcome from Kentucky Lieutenant Governor Jerry Abramson. In his opening address he spoke about the future of food and the importance of food security for generations to come.

“Envision the world of 2050,” said Lt. Governor Abramson. “We need to make sure that the future is bright for our kids and for our grandkids.”

Governor John Y. Brown, co-founder of KFC and Tim Gannon, co-founder of Outback Steakhouse, joined Dr. Pearse Lyons, president and founder of Alltech, on stage to delve into the future of food. These two food revolutionaries have each dramatically changed the industries that they work in, seeking out new ways to operate and adapting to challenges they faced. They

possess a unique perspective on how the industry can and should develop in order to feed the world in 2050. Both agreed that no industry is more important than the food industry and that the biggest challenge that we face is getting a safe and nutritious product to the end user.

Dr. Karl Dawson, Alltech vice president and chief scientific officer, followed with an illuminating overview of the revolutionary science of nutrigenomics. He discussed the applications of genetics in the agriculture industry and how research in this area is responsible for most of the developments in the industry. He also discussed epigenetics, how our genes react to the environment, and how new findings in this area shed light on the complex interplay of nutrition and development.

Following the opening address, Dr. Pearse Lyons discussed the nine initiatives that will help shape Alltech’s future: 1. Alltech Academy “We need advanced education for professionals.

Advanced poultry nutrition, advanced equine nutrition, crisis marketing, brewing, learning never stops.”

2. Crop Sciences “We need more crops from a finite amount of land. Alltech Crop Sciences aims to boost productivity and breed healthier plants.”

3. Lyons Farm - “Agriculture needs branding so that consumers know that they are getting a premium product, that’s what the Lyons Farm range of foods will try to achieve.”

4. Kentucky Bourbon Barrel Ale - “Bourbon Barrel Ale is global! In

the next few months we are launching Alltech’s Kentucky Bourbon Barrel Ale in Ireland.”

5. Ecologae - “It’s important that if we replace fish oil, we replace it with a sustainable, traceable and adaptable alternative. This is one of the many exciting applications for Alltech’s algae program.”

6. Alltech® FEI Word Equestrian Games™ 2014 in Normandy - “Alltech is honored to be the title sponsor of the biggest equestrian event in the world.”

7. Investments in our plants throughout the world — “Our business relies on strong global collaboration and research. As part of our growth strategy we continue to invest in our offices and bioscience centers around the world.”

Super Bowl Champion, Former New York Giants Running Back and NFL “Fuel Up to Play 60” spokesperson Joe Morris will headline annual “Dairy Day” reception hosted by Assembly Minority Leader Brian Kolb and Assemblyman Ken Blankenbush.

Super Bowl champion, former New York Giants running back and Syracuse University alumnus Joe Morris, spokesperson of the NFL “Fuel Up to Play 60” program, will

be a special guest at the Assembly Minority Conference’s annual Dairy Day reception on Tuesday, June 12, from 11:30 a.m.-1 p.m. in the Legislative Office Building in Albany, hosted by Assembly Minority Leader Brian M. Kolb (R, I, C-Canandaigua) and Assemblyman Ken Blankenbush (R, CBlack River). Kolb and Blankenbush, Ranker on the Assembly Agriculture Committee, will also be joined by their legisla-

tive colleagues, state agriculture representatives and members of New York’s dairy industry to celebrate the benefits of dairy products to the health of the state’s economy and its citizens.

Morris will present excited children from Glendaal Elementary School in Scotia with a plaque for their commitment to the Fuel Up to Play 60 program, which stresses the importance of consuming nutrient-rich foods, such as dairy

products, and exercising at least 60 minutes each day. The Fuel Up to Play 60 program was launched by the National Dairy Council and the National Football League, in cooperation with the United States Department of Agriculture.

“Dairy Day is a great annual tradition, and this year we will have the pleasure of welcoming Giants Super Bowl champion Joe Morris to talk about the importance of dairy for good

overall health,” said Kolb. “It will be exciting to highlight the entire spectrum of the dairy industry at this year’s Dairy Day — from the farmers who milk the cows to the children who enjoy the delicious health benefits.”

As of the last Agricultural Census, there are 5,700 dairy farms in New York and the Empire State is the nation’s third largest milk producer and fourth largest cheese producer, accounting for more than 7 percent of the nation’s cheese; ranked third in the production of Italian and mozzarella cheeses, accounting for

To Our Massey Ferguson

nearly 10 percent of all production of Italian cheese in the nation; and ranked first in cream, cottage cheese, low-fat cottage cheese and sour cream production.

“The delicious dairy foods the public will have the chance to sample will be provided by our dairy farmers, who are some of the hardest-working people you will ever meet and are the true backbone of New York’s economy. Each year, Dairy Day offers a special opportunity for us to give thanks to them and let them know how important they are to our entire state,” Kolb said.

Twenty-one farm-related fatalities in New York in 2011

by James J. Carrabba, The New York Center for Agricultural Medicine & Health-NYCAMH NYCAMH has learned that there were 21 farm-related fatalities that occurred in the state of New York in 2011. These fatalities are a slight decrease from the 27 farm-related fatalities that occurred in the state in 2010.

These statistics are gathered through the NYCAMH farm injury surveillance project, a news clipping service, plus reports and death certificates from the New York State Department of Health.

Not surprisingly, tractors were a major source of injury and accounted for seven of the fatalities. Five of the tractor-related fatalities were overturns and two of them were runovers. The other major source of injury this year was motor vehicle collisions which accounted for seven fatalities. A motor

vehicle collision in July of 2011 claimed the lives of six farmers that were traveling in a van while returning from an agribusiness meeting.

The fatality victims in 2011 ranged in age from 5 to 88. Two five-year-old children were extra riders that fell off of tractors and were crushed by the rear wheels. The 88 year old victim died from a tractor overturn on a side hill.

The average age of all the victims was 49 years old. Males accounted for 14 of the fatalities, six were females. The gender of one victim was not reported.

The following are some brief descriptions of some of the fatalities that occurred in 2011. These descriptions are from reports filed by emergency medical responders: • Victim was using a tractor to remove another tractor that was stuck in the mud. In the process, the machine flipped over backwards crushing the victim. Fire companies responded to the scene where the victim was pronounced dead by the county coroner.

• Victim was riding on the side of a tractor the father was driving. After going down a short hill the tractor hit a bump and threw the victim off the perch outside the vehicle cabin. The victim was run over by the rear wheel of the tractor.

• Victim was fatally injured in a tractor incident while working in a hay field. It is unknown at this time what the farmer was doing at the time of the incident. The victim suffered abdomen injuries and died at the scene.

• Victim attached a chain and was trying to get the larger tractor unstuck when the tractor being operated

flipped over backwards and landed on top of the operator. Victim sustained a head injury and was pronounced dead at the scene.

• Victim got caught in an auger attached to the drive shaft of a tractor

and was pronounced dead at the scene by the coroner.

• Victim was killed when the combine being worked on rolled back on the worker.

• A car was trying to pass a farm tractor on a curve and sideswiped a van, sending the van across the road where it collided with the tractor, killing 6 of the 14 passengers in the van.

To protect against tractor rollover deaths, tractors need to be equipped with ROPS (Roll Over Protective Structures) and seatbelts. NYCAMH’s New York State ROPS Retrofit Rebate Program has placed ROPS on over 1,000 tractors during the six years of the program. The ROPS Retrofit Program has potentially saved the lives of at least 10 people who installed

a ROPS on their tractors through the rebate program. After installing ROPS on their tractors, seven had overturns, two had trees that fell onto the ROPS, and one person had had a gravity wagon jackknife and land on top of the ROPS. If these ten had not installed the ROPS on their tractors, the results of these incidents could have been fatal. If you have a tractor without ROPS, call the toll-free number 877-ROPSR4U, to see if your tractor can be equipped with a ROPS and seatbelt. The program will rebate 70 percent of the cost of the ROPS up to a maximum

of $865. New York tractor owners are eligible for this program and can retrofit one tractor per year. There are also ROPS Retrofit Rebate programs available in Pennsylvania, Vermont, and New Hampshire.

Call 877-ROPSR4U for more details.

Tractor runovers are usually the second most frequent type of tractor related fatality. Fortunately these incidents are completely preventable, just follow these simple rules: • No Extra Riders! If there is only one seat, there should only be one person on the machine.

• Keep bystanders

• Tractor operators need to complete a walkaround inspection prior to using the tractor.

Make sure there is no one near the tractor prior to using it.

• Never start a tractor from the ground. Always get into the operator’s seat when starting the tractor.

Always drive defensively when operating farm trucks and equipment on public roads. Wear your seatbelt. Pay attention to the road and conditions. Do not use electronic devices while driving. Distracted driving is a major cause of death on our roadways.

All equipment that travels less then 25 miles per hour on public roads is required to display a clean and nonfaded Slow-Moving-Vehicle (SMV) emblem. For motorists, there are simple things to pay attention to during this busy growing season and throughout the year: •Be alert for agricultural equipment with SMV emblems, reflectors, or flashing lights.

• Avoid a collision by slowing down immediately when you see agricultural equipment on the road with SMV emblems. SMV emblems are meant to warn you to slow down.

Four steps to reduce shrink loss in bunkers and piles

by Keith Bolsen, Professor Emeritus with Kansas State University and Ruthie Bolsen, Managing Director with Keith Bolsen & Associates Use these guidelines to reduce shrink loss in bunker silos and drive-over silage piles.

Corn silage is a staple in dairy rations across the country. According to the National Agricultural Statistics Service the U.S. produced more than 108 million tons of corn silage in 2011.

But too often this corn silage never makes it from the bunker or pile to the feed bunk. This loss in feed is commonly referred to as “shrink” and is measured by subtracting the total tons of silage fed from the total tonnage ensiled. It is estimated that about 20 percent of the corn silage in the country is lost to shrink every year at a steep price to producers. Approximately $1.30 billion of the 2011 corn silage will be lost to shrink.

However, it is possible to achieve single digit shrink loss; there are producers out there doing it. All it takes is a “game plan,” sound management and attention to detail. Here’s what producers need to do to get there.

1. Proper shape and size of driveover piles Shape drive-over piles using a 3 to 1 ratio. This means that for every vertical foot, there should be 3 feet of horizontal on the back, front and each side.

The pile should also be packed from back to front and side-to-side.

Too often producers disregard this rule because they are trying to put too much silage into too small of a space.

As a result silage piles have side slopes of one to one or less and tower 20 to 25 feet or more above the ground. In addition to being unsafe, there is no way a

Keith Bolsen, Professor Emeritus with Kansas State University

tractor operator can pack the sides.

Single digit shrink is impossible with these types of piles and producers cannot afford not to find the extra space.

Properly shaped and sized piles are also safer for producers and their employees; reason enough to properly shape and size piles.

2. High density Shoot for a corn silage density of 15 to 16 pounds of dry matter (DM) and 44 to 48 pounds of fresh weight per cubic foot.

There is an inverse relationship between silage density and shrink loss.

The higher the packing density, the lower the shrink loss will be. If producers increase density by 2 or 3 pounds of DM per cubic foot, that will translate to a reduction in shrink loss of about 3 to 5 percentage points.

The best possible solution to achieve a higher density is to increase the number of tractors. A tool is available from the University of Wisconsin-Madison that can help predict packing den-

University research and field trial results show that an oxygen barrier film can cut shrink loss in the outer 2 to 3 feet of silage by 50 percent or more compared to standard black and white plastic.

sity. Download the spreadsheet at: http://bit.ly/zCfRj0.

3. Excellent cover Use an oxygen barrier film to cover silage bunkers and piles.

Unfortunately, poorly covered silage piles continue to be a major culprit for shrink loss. Poor covering accounts for the loss of $250 to $450 million in corn silage inventory every year.

University research and field trial results show that an oxygen barrier film can cut shrink loss in the outer 2 to 3 feet of silage by 50 percent or more compared to standard black and white plastic.

Pay attention to the term “oxygen transfer rate” or “OTR” and use a product that provides as close to 100 percent oxygen barrier protection as possible. When examining a commercial product, be sure to ask for its oxygen transmission rate and any independent lab test results that back up the product’s oxygen-barrier claims.

Another added benefit to oxygen barrier film is that it clings to the surface

of the silage, filling in the gaps. Standard plastic covers trap oxygen underneath, which increases the amount of visible spoilage compared to oxygen barrier film. It is also unsafe to pitch spoiled silage. The only realistic option is to prevent surface spoilage from happening and oxygen barrier film can do that.

Oxygen barrier film pays for itself every time and reduces total shrink loss by at least 2 to 5 percentage points.

4. Team meetings Producers should host team meetings with the parties involved in their silage operation. Include the crop growers, silage contractors and key employees.

Engage everyone in the meeting so each person knows what to expect and takes ownership of his or her roles.

Team meetings are the only way to ensure a safe and efficient silage program. They are also a key part in reducing shrink loss.

Burlington County horse contracts Eastern Equine Encephalitis First Reported Case of 2012 TRENTON, NJ — A 3-year -old horse from Burlington County was euthanized on May 27 after testing positive for Eastern Equine Encephalitis (EEE), a serious, mosquito-borne illness in horses.

“It is very early in the season to see Eastern Equine Encephalitis so horse owners need to be vigilant in vaccinating their animals against diseases spread by mosquitoes,” said New Jersey Secretary of Agriculture Douglas H. Fisher. “We hope this incident will raise awareness about the need to protect our official state animal from this and other harmful diseases, especially since June is the Month of the Horse in our state.”

EEE is preventable by vaccination.

Effective equine vaccines for EEE and

another mosquito-borne disease, West Nile Virus (WNV) are available commercially. Horse owners should contact their veterinarians if their horses are not already up-to-date on their vaccinations against both EEE and West Nile virus. The Burlington County mare had been given the first in a series of two planned EEE vaccinations by a private veterinarian at the beginning of May. EEE causes inflammation of the brain tissue and has a significantly higher risk of death in horses than West Nile Virus infection. West Nile virus is a viral disease that affects horses’ neurological systems. The disease is transmitted by mosquito bite.

The virus cycles between birds and mosquitoes with horses and humans being incidental hosts. EEE infections

in horses are not a significant risk factor for human infection because horses (like humans) are considered to be “dead-end” hosts for the virus.

In 2011, New Jersey had one case of EEE and one case of equine WNV. One animal was euthanized, the other recovered. Both cases came in October after Hurricane Irene and subsequent rains caused flooding that resulted in much higher than normal mosquito populations.

For more information about EEE and West Nile Virus in horses, visit the New Jersey Department of Agriculture website atwww.nj.gov/agriculture/divisions/ah/diseases/diseaseworksheets.html#4.

EEE and West Nile virus, like other viral diseases affecting horses’ neurological systems, must be reported to the state veterinarian at 609-671-6400 within 48 hours of diagnosis.

Farm fatalities and injuries can be prevented! We sincerely hope that 2012 will be a much safer year for farmers in our state. The mission of NYCAMH is to help prevent injury and illness that occurs to rural people. We fulfill this mission by offering the onfarm safety program, which consists of farm safety surveys and farm safety training sessions for farms in New York. Our on-farm safety surveys iden-

tify potential farm hazards around the farm. Our training programs are farm specific and can be provided in Spanish by Anna Meyerhoff, Bilingual Farm Safety Educator. These services are available at no cost through a grant from the New York State Department of Labor Hazard Abatement Board. We also have a farm emergency response program offering training in CPR, first aid, fire safety and what to do in an

emergency. Contact me at 800-3437527 ext 239 or jcarrabba@ nycamh.com to schedule these programs or for more information about our services. NYCAMH, a program of Bassett Healthcare Network is enhancing agricultural and rural health by preventing and treating occupational injury and illness.

Safety from A13 • Be careful when trying to pass equipment as the operator may not see or hear you • Pass with caution, as the equipment may be longer and wider than you think.

• Be aware of possible left-hand turns into fields.

• It is illegal to use SMV emblems on stationary objects such as driveway markers.

NCGA reminds growers to minimize machinery fire risks With reports of equipment fires cropping up in dry, windy areas across the Midwest, the National Corn Growers Association reminds farmers to carefully follow proper safety procedures that minimize the possibility of a farm machinery fire, much like those taken during last year’s harvest. Even if the weather has not been warm and dry, fuel sources such as leaves, stalks, husks, dust, oil and fuel come into constant contact with potential sources of ignition from farm equipment, such as exhaust, bearings and electrical wiring presenting an ever present fire risk.

“Equipment fires are not only dangerous but are often extremely costly for farmers,” said NCGA Production and Stewardship Action Team Chair Dean Taylor. “During this busy season, a fire can halt work in an instant causing property damage and consuming valuable time. Building risk management practices into your schedule could end up saving both time and money.”

First, keep farm equipment clean, particularly the engine compartment as 75 percent of all machinery fires start there. Using either a pressure washer or high pressure air, remove all caked-on grease, oil and crop residue.

Cleaning the engine thoroughly will allow it to run cooler, operate more efficiently and will greatly reduce the risk of a fire.

Once the equipment has been cleaned, make sure to keep it clean.

Frequently blow dry chaff, leaves or other material off of the machine with compressed air or a portable leaf blower. Then, remove wrapped plant materials on or near bearings, belts and any other moving parts.

At the beginning of each day, check engine fluid levels, particularly coolant and oil levels, in all equipment that will be used. While doing so, look for any possible leaking fuel or oil hoses, fittings or metal lines. Often, areas that may rub from wear, such as the pressurized oil supply line, may breach causing an oil leak. Should a leak be found, repair it immediately.

Next, eliminate heat sources that could increase fire risk. Most commonly, exhaust system surfaces containing flammable material ignite fires in this fashion. To minimize this risk, check to ensure the exhaust system, including the manifold, muffler and turbocharger, are in good condition and free of leaks. Again, should damage be found, repair it immediately.

As arcing electrical wires generate extremely high temperatures in farm machinery, make sure to scan for signs of wiring damage or deterioration daily. Replace any worn or malfunctioning components properly.

Notably, frequently blowing fuses or intermittent circuit disruptions often signal a short or loose connection in that system.

Much like damaged wiring, worn bearings can also reach extremely high temperatures which can cause any

rubber belt coming into contact with this intense heat to ignite. Make sure to inspect for worn bearings, belts and chains frequently.

Despite the most vigilant care, farm equipment fires can still occur. It is essential that each machine carries a working, fully charged fire extinguisher mounted in the cab and still within reach from the ground.

Should a fire break out while you are operating a machine, shut off the engine, grab the extinguisher and immediately exit the vehicle. Then, use either a cellular phone or two-way radio

to signal that professional assistance is required as quickly as possible.

As fires are dangerous, flaring up dramatically if doors, hatches or other entry points are opened, it is crucial to maintain a safe distance from the vehicle at all times. Using the flexible hose on the extinguisher, spray the base of any visible flames continuously to cool the fire and prevent a reflash until help arrives.

For additional information about possible fire containment measures, please contact local fire safety officials.

June is Dairy Month!

Wayne County, PA, Dairy Royalty honored the first baby (and mom) of June with a dairy gift basket on Saturday, June 2.

Joseph Phillip Koch was the first baby born at Wayne Memorial Hospital on June 1. While visiting the new addition to

the Koch Family, Princess Jackie Chyle talked to the family about the importance of the dairy industry and good farming practices.

On June 7, the Wayne County Commissioners declared June as Dairy Month and July as Ice Cream Month in Wayne

County, PA. To celebrate the court made a giant ice cream sundae at the Wayne County Court-

house front lawn and later that same day at the Park Street Complex.

Pictured are (L-R): Robin Koch, mom, holding Joseph, Princess Jackie Chyle, Little Dairy Miss Channing Rutledge, Dairy Maid Brea Rutledge and big sister, Siera Koch. Not pictured: Dad, Phillip Koch, Big sisters Fawn and Raelyn Koch. Congratulations and best wishes from the Wayne County Dairy Princess Court and Committee.

Lower average milk prices, combined with higher alfalfa hay prices, more than offset steady soybean prices and slightly lower corn prices, sending the May 2012 milk-feed price ratio to HAPPY JUNE DAIRY MONTH!!

Issued June 1, 2012 The May Federal order benchmark Class III milk price was announced at $15.23 per hundredweight (cwt.), down 49 cents from April, $1.29 below May 2011, and equates to about $1.31 per gallon. That put the 2012 Class III average at $15.96, down from $16.65 at this time a year ago, and compares to $13.57 in 2010 and $10.23 in 2009.

Looking ahead, Class III futures were trading late Friday morning as follows: June, $15.57; July, $16.07; August, $15.89; September, $15.96; October, $16.11; November, $16.00; and December, $16.00.

The May Class IV price is $13.55, down $1.25 from April and a whopping $6.74 below a year ago. Its 2012 average now stands at $15.24, down from $18.86 at this

time a year ago.

The AMS surveyed cheese price averaged $1.5215 per pound, down 1.5 cents from April. Butter averaged $1.3657, down 9.8 cents. Nonfat dry milk averaged $1.1551, down 9.6 cents, and dry whey averaged 53.89 cents, down 5.3 cents.

Looking “back to the futures;� after factoring in the announced Class III milk prices and the remaining futures, the average Class III milk price for the first six months of 2012 stood at $15.65 on March 2, $15.70 on May 10, and $15.94 on May 25. The last half of 2012 was averaging $15.95 on April 20, $15.61 on April 27, $15.08 on May 4, $15.44 on May 11, $15.69 on May 18, $16.13 on May 25, and was trading around $16.00 late morning June 1.

Meanwhile; things remain tough on the farm.

Country Folks has partnered with the New York State Corn and Soybean Growers Association to publish the summer edition of the Association's newsletter, The NY Crop Grower. This will be a special insert to the JULY 9th edition of Country Folks East and West, with details about the 2012 Summer Crop Tour.

It will also be mailed to all of the members of the association and to prospective members. Additional copies will be available at Empire Farm Days in the New York Corn and Soybean Association booth.

the lowest level in two decades, according to the May Ag Prices report.

The May 2012 milkfeed price ratio, at 1.38, is down from a revised 1.42 in April and 1.73 in May 2011 and is the

14th consecutive month it has been below 2.0, reports Dairy Profit Weekly (DPW).

At $16.40 per cwt., the U.S. average milk price is the lowest since July 2010. Average hay prices

rose $8, to $215 per ton; soybean prices were steady, at $13.70 per bushel; and corn prices dropped 12 cents, to $6.34 per bushel. The

April MILC payment to producers will be $1.2110 per cwt.

On the bright side; the cash dairy markets saw more strength the final week of the month with 40-pound block cheese closing Friday June 1 at $1.65 per pound, up 8 cents on the week, but 40 cents below a year ago when they jumped 24 cents, to $2.05. The 500-pound barrels closed at $1.5325, up 6 1/4-cents on the week and 42 3/4-cents below a year ago. Only two cars of block traded hands on the week and four of barrel. AMS-surveyed block cheese averaged $1.5210, across the U.S., down 0.6 cent. The barrels averaged $1.4932, up a half-cent.

Cheese production nationally remains heavy, according to USDA. Increased milk supplies have been moving to manufacturing facilities with cheese plants taking much of the increase.

This has increased stocks in cold storage, but manufacturers are reported to be comfortable with current inventories.

Export sales are being assisted by the Cooperatives Working Together (CWT) program. American

cheese stocks are above year ago and last month’s levels. “Other” natural cheese stocks were below year ago levels, but increasing from last month.

A recent earthquake in Italy is reported to have damaged over 300,000 wheels of aged cheese worth hundreds of millions of dollars.

CWT accepted 14 requests for export assistance the last week of May to sell a total of 875,235 pounds of cheese and 1.664 million pounds of butter to customers in Asia, North Africa, Central America and the Middle East. The product will be delivered through November and raised 2012 CWT cheese exports to 54.7 million pounds plus 44.7 million pounds of butter and anhydrous milk fat to 27 countries. Totals of both were adjusted due to cancellations.

Cash butter saw a fourth week of gain, closing Friday at $1.40, up 1 1/4-cents on the week but 74 1/4-cents below a year ago. Six cars traded hands. AMS butter averaged $1.3450, up a penny from the previous week.

Butter demand has been fair for the current time of year, according to

USDA’s Dairy Market News. Butter feature activity has been light to moderate, but expected to increase as more co-featuring is occurring with sweet corn and the unofficial start of barbeque season during the Memorial Day holiday weekend.

Lower retail butter prices are also helping sales, says USDA. Cream demand increased, surprising many ahead of the holiday weekend. Cream supplies are declining due to less standardized cream available as school milk needs decline, lower milk output in some areas, and declining milkfat levels in milk. Butter production remains moderate to heavy at seasonal levels.

Cash Grade A nonfat dry milk closed Friday at $1.1850, up 3 cents on the week on 11 cars traded, while Extra Grade remained at $1.09. AMS powder averaged $1.1317, down 1.3 cents, and dry whey averaged 52.4 cents, down 1.8 cents.

USDA reports that Northeast milk production likely plateaued in early May. Nevertheless, production remained heavy and drying at some plants remained at full capacity. Milk production in the Southeast is declining overall except in the mid-Atlantic.

This has kept manufacturing capacity in the Southeast at about 6070 percent of capacity.

Milk intakes and component levels are gradually receding from seasonal highs in the Central region. Various marketing representatives and cooperative managers indicate the competition for farm milk is increasing steadily in some areas of the Central region where cheese and butter/powder plants are numerous.

California milk output is mostly steady and remains at or near the seasonal peak. Weather has been warm during the daytime but cooler at night. Arizona milk production is trending lower on a week-to-week basis.

Hotter temperatures are a main cause, along with time in milk and feeding changes made because of high feed costs, according to USDA. Milk production in the Pacific

by Angela Shelf Medearis Hot stuff for Father’s Day If your go-to gift for Father’s Day is a tie, socks, shirt or some other article of apparel, on behalf of dads everywhere — please try something new! If your dad loves spicy foods, a signature homemade hot sauce is the perfect gift. You also can start a tradition of presenting him with a new bottle of custom-made hot sauce each year.

The trick to the perfect hot sauce is using a combination of peppers with a balance of sweetness, fruit and heat. Fruity peppers like the Aji Amarillo Chili, the Mexican Mirasol Pepper or the Yellow Peruvian Chile (which is a deep yellow, sometimes orange, 4 to 5 inches long) have an intense spice with a fruity flavor. A Mustard Habanero pepper retains the heat found in many Habanero varieties but has fruity overtones. This pepper is dark-yellow with hints of orange and a pointed tip.

Chile peppers like poblano, New Mexico or Anaheim are a mix of fruity, mild and spicy. Certain types of peppers like the Caribbean Red Pepper and Scotch Bonnets add to the hot sauce the heat that will make your Dad’s mouth water, his ears pop and his body temperature rise. Combining different types of peppers with vegetables will add sweet, fruity and flavorful notes to your homemade hot sauce.

Using your computer or supplies from the artsand-crafts store, create a special label for Dad’s custom “Hot Stuff Hot Sauce” using the recipe below.

You also can find beautiful, but inexpensive decorative glass bottles at discount stores. Tie a ribbon to your gift bottle and a new Father’s Day tradition is born!

Hot stuff hot sauce

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 1 large yellow onion, sliced 2 teaspoons salt 2 large jalapeno peppers, diced 2 medium chile peppers, such as poblano, New Mexico or Anaheim, diced (see Tip below) 2-4 habanero or other small, hot chile peppers, stemmed, halved and seeded (see Tip) 4 cloves garlic, diced 1 large carrot, tip and root end removed, chopped 1 pound tomatoes, diced (about 3 cups) or 1 (28 ounce) can fire-roasted diced tomatoes 1-3 teaspoons sugar or stevia 1 cup distilled white vinegar or apple-cider vinegar 1. Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onions and salt, and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, until onions begin to soften. Add in peppers, garlic and carrots. Cook, stirring, until onion begins to brown, about 3 to 4 minutes. (Note: This should be done in a very well-ventilated area! The fumes from the cooking peppers are strong, so do not lean over the pot, or you may inhale the acrid steam.)

2. Reduce heat to medium. Add tomatoes and sugar or stevia. Bring mixture to a boil, then return heat to medium. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes begin to break down, about 15 to 20 minutes.

3. Remove from heat and allow mixture to steep until it comes to room temperature. Carefully transfer pepper mixture to a food processor or blender.

(Use caution when pureeing hot ingredients.) If you’re using a blender, place the lid on loosely and cover it with a dishcloth to allow any steam to escape. Puree mixture for 15 seconds. With food processor or blender running, add vinegar through

stock.xchg photo

the feed tube or opening in the lid in a steady stream.

4. Puree until smooth. Set a fine-mesh sieve over a medium bowl; pour the pureed mixture through the sieve, gently pushing on the solids with a wooden spoon to extract all the liquid. (Discard solids.) Let the sauce cool to room temperature, about 1 1/2 hours. Taste and season with more salt, if necessary.

5. Transfer hot sauce to a sterilized, pint glass jar or bottle and secure with airtight lid.

Refrigerate. The hot sauce tastes best when aged at least 2 weeks. Shake bottle to recombine the liquid before using. Can be stored in refrigerator up to 6 months. Makes 1 pint.

Tip: The membranes that hold the seeds are the spiciest part of chile peppers (that’s where the capsaicin is). The seeds pick up some spiciness by association. You can adjust the heat of the peppers and the spiciness of the hot sauce by using some or all of the seeds along with the flesh of the peppers. Be sure to wash your hands thoroughly after chopping hot peppers, or wear rubber gloves. (c) 2012 King Features Synd., Inc., and Angela Shelf Medearis

This week’s Sudoku Solution

Northwest has slowed from the heavy levels a few weeks ago but remains heavy.

USDA’s preliminary 2011 milk cost of production (COP) estimates are giving dairy policy leaders and others new numbers to digest. Production costs across the 23 states are analyzed are in a wide range, reports Dairy Profit Weekly (DPW), with regional similarities often difficult to find. The bottom line, DPW says, is that; although the 23-state gross income rose an average of $3.94 per cwt. in 2011 compared to 2010, that was more than offset by a $4.69 per cwt. increase in total feed costs.

The average total feed costs for all of the states analyzed was $14.85 per cwt. in 2011, compared to $10.16 in 2010. Total feed costs ranged from a low of $10.64 per cwt. in Idaho to highs of nearly $21.00 in Maine and Oregon (in part due to a higher percentage of organic milk production).

On average, purchased feed costs accounted for 75 percent of the total feed cost increase.

California averaged $17.73 per cwt. in total feed costs, about $4.40 more than Wisconsin. Perhaps more amazing, says DPW, California’s purchased feed costs jumped $6.71 per cwt. in 2011, from just $7.04 in 2010 to $13.75 per cwt. in 2011. Wisconsin’s purchased feed costs rose $2.08 per cwt., pushing total feed costs up $2.28 per cwt.

When compared to gross value of production (including the milk price, cattle sales and other income) on a per hundredweight basis, average 2011 return over operating costs ranged from a high of $10.05 per cwt. in Florida and $7.63 in Idaho, to losses of $1.47 per cwt. in Maine, 26 cents in Kentucky and Tennessee, and 3 cents in California. The all-state average return after operating costs was $4.00 per cwt. in 2011, compared to $4.96 in 2010.

When allocated overhead costs are added, DPW said producers in only two states were in the black in 2011: Idaho, at $4.12 per cwt., and Florida, at $1.58. Losses were highest in Kentucky, Tennessee and Maine. The all-

state average was minus $3.73 per cwt. for 2011, compared to minus $2.75 in 2010, according to DPW. Dialing in the radio; DPW editor Dave Natzke kicked off June Dairy Month talking about how farmers, organizations and communities are gearing up to host local and regional dairy celebrations, but added, “They can’t be blamed if at least part of their attention is diverted toward policymakers and the dairy economy.” The 2012 Farm Bill and federal dairy policy reforms are one of the issues as well as milk prices and fluid milk sales, according to Natzke.

This week, California wrapped up a public hearing to consider petitions to change pricing formulas for milk used to manufacture cheese in the state, Natzke said. Producer organizations filed petitions requesting changes in how dry whey is valued in the formula, saying disparity between federal and California’s state milk marketing order formulas created a wide gap in the prices received for milk used to make TRACTORS 2009 NHTD5050 4wd, w/New 825TL Loader, Cab, 90 HP, 2683 Hrs.

cheese. California’s Department of Food & Agriculture now has about 60 days to announce any changes to the milk pricing formula, Natzke said.

Last week’s DPW also looked at reports from USDA’s Dairy Market News regarding dairy product advertising and the continuing downward trend in fluid milk sales. Natzke reported that the article prompted a response from Tom Gallagher, CEO and president of Dairy Management Inc., the farmer-funder dairy checkoff program that administers dairy promotion and research programs.

Gallagher said “advertising is but one brick in a wall of challenges facing fluid milk sales, which are highly impacted by retail prices.” Those challenges cover everything from the financial health of the industry and its ability to make infrastructure changes, to creating fluid milk products in the packages and sizes consumers want, he said.

Gallagher called for an industry wide effort to stop and reverse declining fluid milk sales, and Natzke concluded, saying he’ll be addressing those efforts with Gallagher in coming weeks.

West Virginia University, Cornell specialists part of NNY Beef Week NNY Beef Week is June 12-15.

Schedule Farm Visits Ahead.

NORTHERN NEW YORK — The June 12-15 Northern New York Beef Week includes farm visits by Cornell University Beef Extension Specialist Dr. Michael J. Baker and 7 p.m. evening videolinks with West Virginia University (WVU) Extension Livestock Specialist Dr. Phillip I. Osborne. The evening program fee is $5.

Osborne helped develop and coordinates the West Virginia Beef Quality Assurance Feeder Cattle Marketing Program. He is also an associate professor with the WVU Division of Animal and Nutritional Services. Osborne will

speak about the value of pooling cattle for marketing.

The animals sold through West Virginia’s Quality Assurance (QA) Sales are noted for strong genetics and having been raised with industry-accepted, proven health practices.

“Our QA calves have proven to be a valuable risk management investment for both producers and buyers,” says Osborne.

“These workshops are a great opportunity for New York beef producers to learn how to apply West Virginia’s success with pooling calves and cattle to meet larger buyers’ interest in consistent quality and sufficient supply,”

The 77th Annual New York Angus Sale was held on May 12, joined for the 2nd year in a row by the New York Hereford Sale. Graciously hosted by Trowbridge Farms of Ghent, NY, the sale again brought a packed barn of onlookers, bidders, and buyers from all over the northeast and east coast.

Fifty-five lots of Angus cattle sold to

average $2,773 and 19 lots of Hereford cattle sold to average $2,263.

The sale has become a source for breeders to invest in high quality females, and also merchandise their own production to a wide base of clientele.

Buyers this year were from every part of New York State, Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Vermont,

Pennsylvania, Virginia, West Virginia, Missouri, and Canada.

“This sale is made possible by breeders of superb registered Angus and registered Hereford females from the northeast,” said Mike Shanahan, Co Sale Manager and President of New York Angus Association. “A highlight of the spring sale season, which was

proven by the active crowd on sale day.”

The sales are sponsored by the New York Angus Association and the New York Hereford Breeders. More information on future events from these groups can be seen anytime on their websites at www.ny-angus.com and www.nyhba.com.

No cow left behind

by Miranda Reiman It’s graduation season. Students emerge from the school system ready to take on the world. Giving each one of them that chance was the impetus for the No Child Left Behind Act. The bill passed in 2001, meaning this year’s high school class spent most of its education course under the influence of what became a controversial law.

The idea was to get 100 percent of the students to pass the standardized tests in math and reading by 2014, with mandatory annual yearly progress (AYP) or schools lose local control of curriculum. Some critics say the program sets unrealistic goals and ignores the basic bell curve in abilities.

It’s a tricky subject when you’re talking about people, but imagine if Congress had passed a No Bovine Left Behind Act the same year. Just for fun, think about what your cowherd might

look like today.

First, you’d have standards that your herd would have to meet. Maybe those would be minimum levels of fertility, calving ease and mothering ability. Perhaps it would include some threshold for weaning, yearling and carcass weight. Or even a step further: quality and yield grade targets. Fail to meet AYP and lose local control of your herd to some team of experts.

Just as all schools had goals before that legislation, you probably already had your own set of requirements, but maybe they got a tweak or two. Or a complete overhaul.

Then you had to decide how you were going to get every, single cow to make the cut. It could be a combination strategy, using a little bit of synchronization and A.I. (artificial insemination) to tighten up your breeding season. Perhaps introducing some new technology, like DNA testing, could give you more information, faster. You could study some good old-fashioned EPDs (expected progeny differences) and pick genetics known for top females.

To comply, you’d likely seek out some expert advice, either from the government oversight team or better yet, your choice of integrated resource

managers. Nobody would want to risk “failing” for all to see, as the annual report card would be made public.

Come to think of it, that’s sort of what record-keeping has done for the beef business. If you’ve failed, the feeder knows it and, although he probably will remember, he doesn’t have to: The computer will remind him of that failure the next year he looks at buying your cattle.

In your herd, there’s no room for babying those cows. In fact, you have no room for underperformance at any step.

But that’s all right. With livestock,

you have more options: Either raise the level of your bottom quarter (or third or even half, depending on the outlook) of your cowherd, or load those underachievers and send ‘em down the road.

If you’ve been on a fast track to improve genetics, perhaps you implemented your own version of this bill a long time ago. If not, you may want to consider a version that ensures you maintain control of your future.

No Bovine Left Behind: It has a kind of ring to it, sort of like the clang of extra change, realized in more pennies per pound.

NYS minimum wage update In May, the New York State Assembly passed a bill to increase the state minimum wage from $7.25 to $8.50. It has yet to receive support from Governor Andrew Cuomo or the State Senate.

The bill was passed by a 98-49 margin, with Assemblyman Bill Magee voting against it on behalf of the farm community.

by Ann Swanson Dairy Month June is Dairy Month.

Since our family was involved in the dairy industry for nearly 30 years, it is out of habit that I devote a column in June to the dairy industry. My husband’s family was involved for many years prior to that as well.

People have often asked me about the freshness of milk in the store. They want to know when they are supposed to use it to get the maximum nutrition. From the dairy industry itself I found an answer. The rule of thumb is to buy the milk before the expiration date on the container. They say that the milk retains its freshness for 7-10 days beyond that date as long it is kept refrigerated with a temperature between

35-41 degrees. As far as I am concerned I smell the product. I can tell by smell if the milk is sour.

Of course, if you happen to have some of your milk get sour do not throw it away. It is still great to make pancakes and I have a couple cookie recipes that call for sour milk.

A web site from Purina listed six breeds of dairy cows. You can be very informed if you learn about the different breeds before you head to the county fairs this summer. You will most likely see all of the breeds at the shows. In alphabetical order the breeds are: Ayrshire, Brown Swiss, Guernsey, Holstein, Jersey, and Milking Shorthorns.

Some shows will also have the Lineback and

law and I made butter.

You see, milk has to be at room temperature to be able to churn it into butter. We used as much of the butter that we could fresh, but froze the rest so that it would not go rancid. We saved a good amount of the product.

We also made all of the dishes that we could think of that called for a large quantity of milk.

Contrary to popular opinion milk is not a dieter’s dilemma. Studies now show that consuming dairy products may actually help control body fat. The studies by the University of Tennessee conclude that consuming 3-4 servings of low or no fat dairy products a day can reduce obesity as much as 80 percent.

Milk has nine essential minerals and vitamins including protein, Vitamin A and Vitamin D. Vitamin D is essential to assimilation of calcium in the body.

Flavored milk is quite popular these days. As

an alternative to soda there are many pluses.

Although chocolate milk contains some caffeine it is equivalent to the amount of caffeine in decaffeinated coffee. That is not a tremendous risk if it is the only way a child will drink milk.

It is also said that the example of the mother in the family is the key. If she is a milk drinker and the children see her drinking it at meal time they are more likely to be milk drinkers. Milk is at its peak if it is icy cold. If your child does not like the taste of cold milk supplement the diet with other dairy products.

During the winter you make your own hot chocolate with real milk.

Yogurt is another alternative. To maximize the nutritional value of yogurt buy plain yogurt and add your own type of sweetener. Jams and honey are healthy alternatives and they leave out the chemicals in artificial sweeteners. That way you control the

sweetness and can tailor it to your own taste.

Today 9 out of 19 women and 7 out of 10 men do not get the recommended 1,000 milligrams of calcium per day. A single serving of low fat or fat free milk provides 30 percent of the daily calcium requirement.

I found an interesting fact about sour cream. It said to preserve the freshness of sour cream you should store the package upside down in your refrigerator. That prevents air from entering the package thus preserving freshness. I offer this tip to you, untested, but thought it was worth a try if you happen to have sour cream on hand.

The Dairy Council also reminds you that milk is the original protein drink. It was the first thing given to the first heart transplant patient.

Baby it’s getting hot outside!

Don’t forget to monitor calf health and growth this summer As temperatures start to climb and cause you to perspire — don’t forget your calves are also feeling the heat.

When we think of heat stress our thoughts often go to the lactating herd first, as heat and humidity can have a dramatic impact on milk production and therefore have a potential impact on our pocketbooks. But there are also plenty of economic reasons to be concerned about heat stress in calves.

There is very little hard data that indicates exactly when a calf will become heat stressed. Industry consensus estimates heat stress occurs between 78 to 80 degrees in calves.

When temperatures rise above 78 degrees the calf begins to sweat and respiration rates increase.

Consequences of increased respiration rates and sweating are rapid dehydration, reduced feed intake, a weaker immune system and the internal body temperature of the calf rises — which is never good. In addition, the calf will burn more energy as it tries to drive heat from its body and it is likely that fewer of the nutrients that are consumed will be put towards growth.

Heat stressed calves are also more likely to have a slower rate of gain which means they might not reach breeding size in a timely manner. As a result, age at first calving could be pushed back. If a calf becomes too stressed from heat, it can die.

“Management strategies from greater calf housing ventilation, shading calf hutches, providing free choice electrolytes, increasing water and feeding frequency to evaluating the technologies in the milk replacer fed

can help to alleviate heat stress in calves,” says Dr. Tom Earleywine, technical services director for Land O’Lakes Animal Milk Products.

What can you do?

To help calves not only beat the heat but also thrive in warm weather conditions, consider the following management ideas.

• Evaluate milk replacer formulas.

Be sure to provide a high level of nutrition to calves so they can grow to their full potential and meet their energy needs as they struggle to relieve heat stress. Transitioning to a calf milk replacer formulated for warm weather can result in greater feed efficiency and bottom line potential. New milk replacer formulas provide the optimal protein-to-energy balance as temperatures moderate and are designed to meet the specific needs of the calf.

• Consider adding a third feeding of milk replacer. Research shows that calves fed three times a day have shown optimal growth, better feed efficiency, consume more starter prior to weaning and have greater chance of survival to lactation than calves fed twice daily.

• Provide free choice electrolytes.

High quality electrolytes with suspension agent mixed properly can be free choice fed during heat stress.

• Offer free choice water. Empty and refill water pails several times throughout the day to offer fresh water. It should not be a surprise for calves to double their water intake.

Switching to five-gallon pails may also be helpful.

• Clean and sanitize water and

milk pails frequently. Warm weather promotes algae, mold and bacteria growth. Keeping water and milk pails clean and sanitized will help keep these populations down, as well as help with the fly population.

• Keep calf starter fresh. Calf starters can go bad in hot weather, so it’s important to make sure the feed is kept fresh. Note that molasses, a common calf starter ingredient to aid in palatability, can be a tasty attractant for fly populations. Newer calf starters use alternative natural palatability enhancers with minimal molasses.

• Provide shade. Make sure to provide calves plenty of shade in hot weather.

• Evaluate calf handling. Consider changing the time of day when handling calves is done. Routines that

were fine for cold weather might not be the best for the calf in warm weather.

• Get a handle on flies. Unfortunately calves are a hot spot for flies.

Using a milk replacer and a calf starter that includes a feed through larvicide can help to keep the fly population down. A reduced fly population may also reduce stress to the calf and the spread of diseases by flies.

As temperatures rise, don’t forget that when you start to perspire so do your calves. Take steps now to help them beat the heat.

A View from Hickory Heights

Dexter. Of the six major breeds the one with the greatest average of milk per cow is the Holstein.

Our family milked a herd of Holsteins. My husband preferred this breed because of the milk production. We used raw milk at our house so the milk had to be of the best quality possible. You will find that to be the case on most farms. Since the family eats/uses what is produced they want only the best.

I remember one time when the electric was off for days. The milk company of course could not use the milk since it was not kept at the proper temperature. What were we to do? We could not afford to just dump all of the milk. That is when the butter churn came out. My mother-in-law had an old-fashioned glass churn and a thermometer to make sure the cream was at the proper temperature. The men skimmed the cream off and my mother-in-

Trucks

Assemblyman Bill Magee opposes Thruway toll hike Following is a statement opposing the Thruway Authority’s proposal to increase tolls for trucks by 45 percent made recently by New York State Assemblyman Bill Magee.

“I oppose the New York State Thruway Authority’s proposed 45 percent toll increase for trucks. This increase places a burden on businesses as well as the backs of our farmers, and that is not the way to help them grow.

“New York farms need access to the New York

City metro area, the largest consumer marketplace in the U.S., and rely on the Thruway to do this. When transportation costs increase, struggling farmers would be forced to either pass along the costs to costumers or absorb them.

“Aside from increasing the costs of doing business, this toll increase will force truckers to get off the Thruway to save money, as a result, putting them on local roads and endangering our communities. This toll increase is unacceptable.”

The State Thruway Authority recently gave preliminary approval to raise tolls 45 percent on big trucks with three or more axles, with the possibility of more toll

increases for all drivers in the future. The toll hike would add about $20 for a Thruway trip between Buffalo and Albany, and nearly $40 for a trip from Buffalo to

REAL PEOPLE ANSWER THE PHONE

New York State Assembly Minority Leader Brian Kolb says proposed 45 percent Thruway toll hike will hurt the trucking industry, lead to higher prices for consumers and signal that New York State isn’t open for business.

“The New York State Thruway Authority’s proposed 45 percent toll hike on commercial trucks with three or more axles is a “road to fewer jobs and a less competitive economy,” according to Kolb (R, I, C - Canandaigua), who on May 31 urged rejection of the costly proposal. The 45 percent toll hike proposal received an initial green light to move forward by the Thruway Authority Board on May 30.

“If the Thruway Authority’s proposed 45 percent toll hike goes forward, it will kill jobs, hurt our economy, devas-

tate the trucking industry and send a clear signal that New York State is not open for business,” Leader Kolb said.

According to the website www.truckinfo.net, there are an estimated 8.9 million people employed in truckingrelated jobs nationwide, with nearly 3.5 million truck drivers, many of whom are independent owners and operators. Nationally, there are 1.2 million trucking companies with 97 percent operating 20 or fewer trucks, and 90 percent operating six or fewer trucks. The U.S. economy depends on trucks to deliver nearly 70 percent of all freight that is transported annually, accounting for $671 billion worth of manufactured and retail goods carried by trucks.

needs to be put in reverse,” Leader Kolb stated.

“There is some speculation that a portion of the toll hike will be used to finance repairs and renovations of the Tappan Zee Bridge. Instead of taxing commercial truckers to the hilt to pay for this and other necessary road and bridge renovation projects, the Thruway Authority should tighten its own belt as far as possible before dropping a 45 percent toll hike on such an important segment of New York’s economy,” Leader Kolb said.

itself if it believes this massive cost increase will simply be absorbed by the trucking industry with no broader repercussions. That thinking defies logic and it defies basic economics. The cost hike will go directly onto consumers in the form of higher prices on everything from food to durable goods.

Some trucking companies may decide that it is too expensive to operate in New York and leave for other states that actually want their business, leading to more lost jobs. Any way you slice it, this toll hike is a bad idea that

West Virginia University, Cornell specialists part of Northern New York Beef Week June 12-15 Schedule farm visits ahead NORTHERN NEW YORK — The June 12-15 Northern New York Beef Week includes farm visits by Cornell University Beef Extension Specialist Dr. Michael J. Baker and 7 p.m. evening videolinks with West Virginia University (WVU) Extension Livestock Specialist Dr. Phillip I. Osborne. The evening program fee is $5.

Osborne helped develop and coordinates the West Virginia Beef Quality Assurance Feeder Cattle Marketing Program. He is also an associate professor with the WVU Division of Animal and Nutritional Services. Osborne will speak about the value of pooling cattle for marketing.

The animals sold through West Virginia’s Quality Assurance (QA) Sales are noted for strong genetics and having been raised with industry-accepted, proven health practices.

“Our QA calves have proven to be a valuable risk management investment for both producers and buyers,” says Osborne.

“These workshops are a great opportunity for New York beef producers to learn how to apply West Virginia’s success with pooling calves and cattle to meet larger buyers’ interest in consistent quality and sufficient supply,”

says Baker.

Northern New York producers can call ahead to schedule a farm visit with Baker to receive a fresh evaluation of their handling facilities, and the opportunity to ask questions of the Cornell beef specialist.

The Northern New York Beef Week farm visits and evening program schedule is as follows: • June 12 – Clinton and Essex County farm visits and 7 p.m. program at CCE Clinton County office, Plattsburgh, register with Peter Hagar at CCE Clinton County, 518-561-7450, phh7@cornell.edu, or Anita Deming at CCE Essex County, 518-962-4810, ald6@cornell.edu • June 13 – Franklin County farm visits and 7 p.m. program at 911 Emergency Building, Malone, register with Diane Dumont, CCE Franklin County, 518-483-7403 • June 14 – St. Lawrence County farm visits and 7 p.m. program at the Extension Learning Farm Classroom, Canton, register with Betsy Hodge, 315-379-9192, bmf9@cornell.edu • June 15 – Jefferson County farm visits and 7 p.m. program at CCE Jefferson County, Watertown, register with Ron Kuck, 315-788-8450, rak76@cornell.edu.

Stephen Waldbillig received his Honorary Empire Degree by Breana Scribner, Reporter, Greenwich Central School This year at the New York State FFA Convention Greenwich students weren’t the only locals recognized on stage. Stephen Waldbillig received his Honorary Empire Degree. He is the parent of four children, three of whom were and are members of the Greenwich FFA Chapter and he proudly supports the organization.

Stephen got his first glimpse of the organization when he was seven years old. A family in the neighborhood had a son who was a member and Stephen thought the national blue and corn gold corduroy jackets were the neatest thing. He envied those whose schools offered the membership to its students — his school did not give such an opportunity.

Years later when his son, Benjamin Waldbillig, reached ninth grade he received an up-close look at the FFA because Ben had joined the chapter.

Throughout high school Ben was an

active member and went on to receive his Empire Degree — the highest degree offered in the state. Later Stephen’s third child, Sara, joined and was a very dedicated chapter member, serving as a chapter officer and participating on the state winning dairy judging team. She too got her Empire Degree. Stephen’s last daughter, Mandy, is currently an officer in Greenwich’s chapter and at last year’s State Convention she was awarded the highest FFA degree in the state.

Due to Stephen’s never ending support to his children and the FFA he became eligible to receive his own Honorary Empire Degree. To qualify a parent must have at least three children who earned their Empires.

Stephen was one of five parents to be recognized on stage this year.

The Greenwich Chapter of the FFA would like to thank him for his support to the chapter and its’ members over Stephen Waldbillig, holding his Honorary Empire Degree plague, with his three chilthe past 22 years and to say congratu- dren who have been involved in Greenwich FFA Chapter activities over the years.

Teens needed to teach healthy eating and active living to 8-12-year-olds in summer camp program “Madison County teens have a great opportunity to participate in a 4-H nutrition and fitness education program called Choose Health: Food, Fun and Fitness,” said Peg Lewis, Cornell Cooperative Extension of Madison County Educator. Choose Health Action Teens or CHATs get training in nutrition and active living and then use those skills to teach healthy habits to younger children.

The hands-on, interactive program is designed to teach children about the importance of healthy eating and

active play in their daily lives. Madison County 4-H in collaboration with the Madison County Children’s Camp and UnitedHealthCare will offer this exciting program to children at the Madison County Children’s Camp for two weeks in July.

“Choose Health came out of a concern that many children have habits that could lead to overweight and chronic disease either in childhood or as they become adults,” explains Lewis.

“We want all kids to learn healthier habits — and have fun doing so!”

The hands-on lessons include opportunities for children to measure the amount of sugar in soda and other popular drinks, explore ways to eat more vegetables and fruits, learn to use Nutrition Facts Labels to determine sugar and fat content in foods as well as to choose more whole grain and high fiber foods, see the amount of fat in fast food meals, and plan ways to start their days with a healthy breakfast. Active games and healthy snacks are part of every lesson, as is a family newsletter with recipes and ideas to

help families be active.

Choose Health Action Teens will gain leadership and teaching skills, as well as have fun with other teens from around the county. They will lead active games with kids, along with making and eating healthy snacks with kids.

For more information about becoming a Choose Health Action Teen (CHAT) or about the Choose Health: Food, Fun, and Fitness program, call Peg Lewis at Madison County CCE at 315-684-3001.

Eastern New York State Wool Pool set June 14-16 GREENWICH, NY — The second annual Southern Adirondack Fiber Producers Cooperative wool pool will be held on June 14-16 at the Washington County Fairgrounds, on State Route 29, in Greenwich, NY. The pool hours

will be noon-4 p.m. on Thursday, June 14; and 9 a.m.-4 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, June 15-16.

A large national wool buyer is offering sheep farmers from throughout New York State and neighboring Mass-

achusetts and Vermont excellent prices for their fiber. Three classes of wool will be accepted: 1. Clean white wool at least 2-1/2” in length; 2. White offsorts including short and dirty fiber, and head and belly wool; and 3. Natural color wool.

Farms with lots of 1,000 pounds or more are encouraged to call ahead; and to deliver their fiber to the Fairgrounds on Thursday afternoon, June 14. The pool is only accepting fiber from 2010, 2011, and 2012 shearings.

All sellers are asked to contribute some time to the pool when they are dropping off their fiber. Help needed

includes unloading vehicles, taking empty bags and scraps home, and filling the baler.

For more information, contact Coop President Mary Jeanne Packer on 518692-2700 or email mjpacker@battenkillfibers.com.

1940 census, a step back in time

by Stewart Truelsen Earlier this spring the National Archives released the 1940 Census to the public. If you are wondering what took them so long, there is a 72-year waiting period required by law to respect the privacy of the respondents.

The personal information had been anxiously awaited by the growing number of amateur genealogists trying to fill out a family tree and learn more about their ancestry. Prior to the release, the 1930 Census was the latest available.

A census of the population has been taken

every 10 years since 1790, primarily for the apportionment of members to the House of Representatives. However, it also provides a useful snapshot of the population of America; in 1940 it would have been a Kodak Brownie black and white photo.

The population of the United States was 132.2 million then, including the territories of Alaska and Hawaii; a little more than 5 million were farmers. By the 2010 Census, the population had more than doubled to 308.7 million and there were 751,000 full-time farmers, ranchers and agri-

cultural managers.

The decline in farm population started well before the 1940 Census and was expected to continue. The Agriculture Department reported that at least twice as many young people were maturing each year in rural areas than would be needed on the farm.

The transition from horsepower to tractor power, which was still going on, reduced the need for farm labor.

This was a real concern because the national unemployment rate in 1940 was 14.6 percent.

There weren’t many jobs to be found in the cities

FOCUS ON AGRICULTURE

to accommodate rural youth. Besides, not all were anxious to leave the countryside.

Writing in the 1940 Yearbook of Agriculture, Harvard University philosophy professor William Hocking said, “The farm has an opportunity for normal family life which is still definitely superior to that of the

American Farm Bureau Federation city, in spite of rapid recent changes.” Hocking even warned that “no civilization survives when the urbanite becomes the model for all groups.”

The American Farm Bureau Federation didn’t find farming entirely superior. In 1940, it sought to raise farm prices rela-

tive to industrial prices and create a fair economic balance between farmers and other groups.

Sadly, Americans who filled out the census forms in 1940 had no idea that the fighting in World War II would erase

Saratoga County crowns their 43rd Dairy Princess

by Richard Smith, Saratoga County Friday night, June 1, Miss Molly Pokrzywka was crowned the 43rd Saratoga County Dairy Princess.

This year marked a new chairperson of the pageant; Mrs. Julie McBath. The pageant was a wonderful night filled with excitement, recognition, and ceremony worthy of royalty. The program is no small function but under Mrs. McBath’s organization skills and the many volunteers it went off without a hitch.

Miss Katie Donnan, a former Saratoga County Dairy Princess, served as master of ceremonies.

She started the evening off by recognizing the efforts of the Saratoga County Dairy Promotion Committee who all work tirelessly along side the Princess and her court promoting the dairy industry throughout the year. Just prior to the usual outstanding buffet being served, Miss. Donnan introduced the upcoming 2012 Saratoga County Dairy Princess Court. As the young ladies were proudly escorted by their fathers

and in one case her grandfather to the front of the stage, each girl’s accomplishments and credits were read aloud.

The Dairy Ambassadors who will represent the county in the upcoming year are, Janet Hanehan, Stephanie McBath, Racheal Sherman, Maria Shorkey, Haley Curtiss, and Allyson Block.

After dinner the candidates took turns giving presentations of what it would mean to be Saratoga County’s Dairy Princess and used various forms to highlight meaningful points about the benefits of dairy products and good daily nutrition. Hannah Curtiss gave a presentation concerning her desire to serve the dairy industry.

Hannah ended her presentation with a survey that contestants had to pick from drinks which one had the most nutritious daily ingredients.

Milk clearly was the winner by all contestants.

Molly Pokrzywka gave a fact filled power point presentation citing the qualities of milk and the Dairy Industry’s commitment to that quality.

Conservation groups — including American Farmland Trust — concerned about Pennsylvania Governor Tom Corbett’s proposed budget cuts to farmland preservation have pulled together to form the Coalition to Save Farms.

The state’s award winning farmland preservation program is funded through a dedicated tax on the sale of cigarettes. Governor Corbett wants to permanently redirect this funding to the general fund. With no source of funds to replace the cigarette tax, the program will not survive, as former Pennsylvania Secretary of Agriculture

Lewis County Dairy Princess and her Court

Russell Redding recently described.

“Now is the time for Pennsylvanians to let their elected officials know that they support continued dedicated state funding for farmland preservation, and that the issue is important to their economic well-being and cultural heritage,” explains Jim Baird, Mid-Atlantic Director at American Farmland Trust. Find out more about ways you can help the Coalition defend farmland protection funding http://conservationadvocate.org/2012/04/11/farmland-preservation-funding-to-be-eliminated-your-action-needed/.

Farm disaster preparedness checklist

by Peggy Murray, Cornell Cooperative Extension of Lewis County I recently attended a farm disaster preparedness seminar; there was a lot of great information, none of which required a lot of money or time. The objective of this course was to help farm owners plan for and manage disasters that may occur on their operations, and encourage farm owners to adopt planning and preparedness actions. This course was the first of its kind in the country and, not only was the information good, but depending on who you get your farm insurance from, there could be a discount if you attend one of these seminars.

Here’s a list of some of the safety points that were covered, but remember, it doesn’t make up for attending the seminar.

Farm vehicles on the road: • Perform safety checks.

• Make sure your SMV

sign is in good shape and can be seen.

• Make sure all lights are in working order.

• Have the proper onboard equipment.

ROASTED CORN & SOYBEANS FOR SALE

TRY ROASTED CORN AND SOYBEANS AND DISCOVER THE DIFFERENCE!

Higher Digestibility - Research studies show that roasted corn is more digestible than raw corn.

• Energy levels increased by 30% with roasted corn.

• Roasted corn has gelatinized starch just like steam flaked corn but is less costly to produce.

• If your fecal starch levels are above 2.3% roasted corn will increase profitability.

• Most dairymen are feeding 10% less roasted corn than raw dry corn.

• Some dairymen are seeing an increase in BF. Purer Feed - Flame roasting can effectively remove mold spores and reduce toxin levels that are harmful to livestock, swine and poultry.

• Better herd health.
