2012 Central New York Farm Progress Show marks 38th year

by Elizabeth A. Tomlin Welcome to Len-Lo Farms! The place where the Central New York Farm Progress Show has been held for 24 years consecutive years.

“Before that,” said Farm Progress Show President Dick Presky, “the show was moved from farm to farm each year, but there are many benefits to staying on the same property every year.” One of those benefits is having a new Morton building to house many of the vendors and displays. Originally all of the exhibitors were all in tents.

“This whole show started out with 13 exhibits and displays,” Presky recalled.

“Now we have grown to over 110.”

Presky said that the same 15 volunteer members are on the planning committee each year and he has been president of that committee for 36 years.

“I’ve seen a lot of farms being lost over those years through State taxes,” Presky stated. “We like to try to help the farmers out.

Kristin Pronko, with the USDA Farm Service Agency agreed with that statement. Pronko was stationed at an exhibit where she gave information to attendees about services and loans offered through the Farm Service.

“Farmers usually come to us as a last

Farm Bill/community anaerobic digester WASHINGTON D.C. — President of Chenango County Farm Bureau, Bradd Vickers, 5th District Promotion & Education chair Rainy CollinsVickers and other Farm Bureau members from the Southern Tier joined Agricultural leaders from across the county at the “Farm Bill Now” rally in Washington, D.C. to urge legislators to pass the Farm Bill.

The two day visit included time discussing passage of the Farm Bill with U.S. Senator Charles Schumer, Senator Gillibrand’s office and other downstate legislators and concerns over the Clean Water act expansion and year-end tax extensions.

Schumer returned from a visit to upstate New York promoting federal funding for a community anaerobic digester project which the Chenango County Farm Bureau did a feasibility study a number of years ago in Chenango County. That study looked at a centrally located anaerobic digester that would take in manure from targeted area farms and food waste from a few local businesses.

Schumer suggested that federal stimulus funds or grants and loans from the U.S. Department of Agriculture may be available to offset some or all of the project’s costs.

Vacuum tanker trucks would transport manure to the digester and treated waste back to the farms. Digesters reduce the manure odor, and the treated material may still be used as fertilizer.

A community digester would convert animal and food waste into biogas (methane gas) or other energy products, as beneficial to area farmers, industry and the community.

“This actually fits in with an ongoing discussion following the Yogurt Summit,” Vickers said. He went on to say this would work well on a site like Chobani to produce heat and electricity for the facility using much of the way a byproduct from making yogurt.

The down side is if the digester produces more electricity than needed on site it becomes an issue with the grid and New York’s poor net metering regulations.

by Jay Girvin, Esq. Girvin & Ferlazzo. P.C., Albany, NY Q. What special protections are available to family farmers under the Bankruptcy Code?

A. The fundamental goal of federal bankruptcy laws is to give people and businesses that can no longer pay their debts a financial “fresh start,” either by liquidating their non-exempt assets to pay their debts or by creating a repayment

plan. The end result of the process is a bankruptcy discharge, which releases debtors from personal liability from specific debts and prevents creditors from ever taking action to try to collect those debts. The most common types of bankruptcy cases are Chapter 7 (liquidation of the assets of an individual or business), Chapter 13 (repayment plan for individuals), and Chapter 11 (reorganiza-

tion of a business). Each of these types of bankruptcy proceedings is subject to various eligibility requirements and limitations.

While bankruptcy proceedings under the foregoing chapters have always been (and remain) available to individuals and businesses engaged in farming, the agricultural economic crisis of the 1980s and resulting spike in farm foreclosures led Congress to conclude that existing bankruptcy laws were unsuitable to the needs of most farmers. Accordingly, in 1987 Congress added a new “Chapter 12” to the Bankruptcy Code that specifically provided for the adjustment of the debts of a “family farmer.”

As defined under Chapter 12, a family farmer may either be an individual and/or the individual’s spouse, or

may be a corporation or partnership. To qualify, an individual or married couple must be engaged in a farming operation, must have total secured and unsecured debts of less than $3,792,650 must have at least 50 percent of those debts related to the farming operations, and have at least half of their income come from the farming operations. In addition to meeting the same debt and income requirements, a corporation or partnership must have at least 51 percent of its outstanding stock or equity owned by one family and its relatives, the family must conduct the farming operations, and at least 80 percent of its assets must be related to farming.

Like Chapter 11 and Chapter 13, a bankruptcy under Chapter 12 features a plan by which the family farmer will make certain fixed payments to creditors. For this reason, only family farmers with a “regular annual income” that is sufficiently stable and regular to enable the farmer to make payments under a Chapter 12 plan are eligible to file a petition.

A Chapter 12 proceeding is commenced by the filing of a bankruptcy petition in the local Federal bankruptcy court, along with various schedules showing the family farmer’s assets and liabilities, current income and expenditures, executory contracts and unexpired leases, and a statement of financial affairs. Once the Chapter 12 petition is filed, an impartial trustee is appointed to evaluate and administer

the case. Significantly, the filing of the bankruptcy petition triggers an “automatic stay” preventing creditors from taking most collection actions against the family farmer or his or her property.

Either at the time of the filing of the bankruptcy petition or within 90 days thereafter, the debtor must file a Chapter 12 plan of repayment. The plan, which must be approved by the Court, provides for payments by the debtor to the trustee in fixed amounts and on a regular basis.

The trustee, in turn, distributes these payments to creditors as provided for in the plan, typically paying creditors something less than full payment of their claims.

Creditors’ claims are generally divided into three categories: “priority,” “secured,” and “unsecured.”

Priority claims are those granted special status under the bankruptcy law (such as taxes) and must be repaid in full under the plan. Secured claims are those in which the creditor has been granted the right to liquidate certain collateral or other property if the debtor defaults in the repayment of a debt (such as mortgage loan) and the payments received by the creditor under the plan must be at least equal to the value of the collateral securing the underlying loan. Finally, unsecured claims are those debts for which a creditor has not been granted any rights to particular property in the event of a default (such as credit card debt). Unsecured debts need not be paid in

full under the plan, as long as the debtor commits all of his “disposable income” toward plan payments and the unsecured creditors receive at least as much as they would if the debtor’s nonexempt assets were liquidated under Chapter 7.

Chapter 12 plans typically last between three to five years. At the completion of the plan period, and assuming the debtor has made all required plan payments, the debtor will receive a discharge that effectively releases the debtor from all debts provided for in the plan.

Any family farmer considering bankruptcy should consult with experienced and knowledgeable counsel to determine whether bankruptcy is an option, and if so which chapter best meets the farmer’s needs and particular situation. In weighing the pros and cons of bankruptcy, the farmer should also consider how a bankruptcy may affect his or her ability to secure credit and loans necessary to support ongoing farming operations in the future. A bankruptcy filing will obviously be viewed negatively in a prospective lender’s assessment of the farmer’s creditworthiness and risk. On the other hand, if your financial situation has deteriorated to the point where bankruptcy has become the only viable option, chances are that your existing credit rating isn’t that good anyway. In some cases, bankruptcy may be the first step in a fresh start toward repairing that credit rating.

To the Editor: Recently there was a so-called Yogurt Summit held in Albany, NY with lawmakers and “industry” officials.

According to news reports Governor Cuomo wants to make New York the yogurt capital of the universe.

Problem is, there is a shortage of local milk. So let’s expand — problem solved! We’ll give the farmers tax breaks and reduce CAFO restrictions, etc, etc, but nowhere did I hear or read what we really need — A FAIR PRICE FOR OUR MILK!!!

On one hand the industry leaders want us to produce more milk for the yogurt plants, but on the other hand they say they can’t pay us a fair price for it because there’s too much of it. So which way is it?

Once again dairy farmers are in the midst of a severe financial crisis. Why is it that none of the candidates running for office are asked about it or ever mention it? Do farmers and the jobs they support really not matter?

Tails Wagging Frogs This past April an article titled, “Weed Killer Causes Animal Shape Changes” appeared on line. Its writers, a team of U.S. biologists, stated that glyphosate, the world’s most popular weed killer, can cause morphological changes in vertebrate animals.

University of Pittsburgh researchers said this weed killer, in sub-lethal (i.e., to animals, not plants), caused two species of amphibians to change their shape.

The study is the first to show that a pesticide can bring about structural changes in vertebrate animals, according to biological sciences Professor Rick Relyea in a university release last spring. Glyphosate is a systemic, broad-spectrum herbicide produced by a giant U.S.-based multinational company.

In nature, presence of predators can cause tadpoles to change shape by altering the tadpoles’ stress hormones, Relyea said. This endocrine change causes them to grow bigger tails to increase their chances of escape.

But similar shape changes seen after exposure to glyphosate suggest the weed killer may interfere with the hormones of tadpoles and potentially many other animals, according to this professor. “It was not surprising to see

that the smell of predators in the water induced larger tadpole tails,” Relyea said. “That is a normal, adaptive response.” What shocked these researchers was that this herbicide induced the same changes. Moreover, the combination of predators and glyphosate caused the tail changes to be twice as large. Tadpoles alter their body shape to match their environment, so having a body shape that does not fit the environment puts them at a distinct disadvantage.

“This discovery highlights the fact that pesticides, which are important for crop production and human health, can have unintended consequences for species that are not the pesticide’s target,” Relyea said. “Herbicides are not designed to affect animals, but we are learning that they can have a wide range of surprising effects by altering how hormones work in the bodies of animals. This is important because amphibians not only serve as a barometer of the ecosystem’s health, but also as an indicator of potential dangers to other species in the food chain, including humans.”

Glyphosate bound to soil particles can remain active and may be released from soil and

taken up by plants. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has also stated that many endangered plants may be at risk from glyphosate use in conservation areas.

Glyphosate in soil takes 140 days to break down to half it’s toxicity and will continue to be taken up by plants from the soil for at least two years.

This herbicide also inhibits mycorrhizal fungi.

Canadian studies have shown that as little as 1 part per million of glyphosate can reduce the growth or colonization of mycorrhizal fungi. Mycorrhizal fungi are essential for tree health, collecting nutrients and water to feed their host plant and protecting tree roots from harmful fungi and root rot diseases. Also, this herbicide has been shown to reduce nitrogen fixation.

Amounts as small as 2 parts per million have had significant effects, and effects have been measured up to 120 days after spraying.

In researching this issue further, I learned that this herbicide kills beneficial insects. Tests conducted by The International Organization for Biological Control showed that glyphosate exposure proved fatal to several beneficial species including predatory mites, lacewings, ladybugs, and predatory beetles. Everybody likes ladybugs... can’t we just leave them alone?

[Across the big pond, the Brits would say “Can’t you give the bloody ladybirds a break, mite?” (that’s how they say

Sheep herding trial scheduled Oct. 13 Please join us at our annual sheep herding trial on Saturday, Oct. 13, from 9 a.m. to about 3 p.m. This is a German herding trial called HGH herding trial. HGH is the German abbreviation for Herding Utility Dog. You will see German Shepherd Dogs tending a flock of more than 250 sheep.

This is a sheep herding trial with several hundred years of tradition based on how large flocks of sheep are kept in Germany. Shepherds in this country tend large flocks in open fields, using dogs to contain and move them. Their pastures are often side by side with fields with crops.

The dogs become a “living fence” to keep the sheep in the pasture and out of the crops.

In Australia mate.)] (where they pronounce “mate” the same way) most formulations of glyphosate have been banned from use in or near water because of their toxic effects on tadpoles and to a lesser extent on adult frogs.

There is also concern about non-lethal effects of the herbicide on frogs.

Glyphosate toxicity in water has a half-life of 212 weeks, but remains residual for much longer periods in sediment where it binds with clay and organic matter. Researchers have proven that aquatic wetland communities can be dramatically impacted by low concentrations of pesticides (from run-off), including glyphosate.

These results offer important insights for the conservation of wetland species and communities. Fish and aquatic in-

vertebrates are more sensitive to glyphosate and its formulations. Its toxicity is increased with higher water temperatures and pH. This isn’t surprising, because most herbicides function better at pH near 7.0. I have seen several instances where a farmer grows corn a few years in a row, then plans to seed back. A soil test is performed, calling for two or three tons of lime. The lime is applied in the fall, so it can break down over the winter. As pH increases, the bound up herbicide (from earlier applications, usually atrazine) is liberated, then kills the tiny legume and/or grass seedlings the following spring.

Earthworms aren’t vertebrates, so they can’t grow a longer tail (which is an extension of the backbone)… and they

don’t swim anyway. A study of the most common earthworm (Aporrectodea caliginosa) found in agricultural soils in New Zealand showed that repeated applications of glyphosate significantly, and negatively, affected growth and survival of earthworms. Biweekly applications of low rates of glyphosate (1/20 of typical rates) caused a reduction in growth, an increase in the time to maturity, and increased mortality.

Glyphosate clearly is hazardous to New Zealand’s earthworms, which are in a different genus from North American earthworms. Ours belong to genus Lumbricoides, but there’s no reason to think that they would survive this herbicide attack any better than their distant downunder cousins.

The Era of the Brown Bag I grew up in the brown bag era. When you went to the grocery store you were not asked about your choice for bags — there was only one kind. Everything we purchased came home in a paper bag.

I don’t know about you, but I question the benefit of the plastic replacements that we now get so commonly in the same grocery stores. For a while we were asked about the type of bag we preferred but now those plastic ones take precedence. In most cases the old brown bag has disappeared.

You can still purchase small brown bags to carry lunches in.

We always recycled our bags. Grandma kept a container with bags from the grocery store in the back porch. Whenever we were lining a wastebasket or taking something to someone a brown bag came out.

Now, I do the same thing with the plastic bags from the grocery store, but they are a concern for our landfills. I know that plastic does not disintegrate. What happens to all of those bags that go to the landfill? Many of the stores have recycling centers of their own but that means that you have to take the bags back. It also means that you have to purchase a product to use for the garbage.

On the farm we recycle what we can. The garbage scraps go into the compost pile. Cans are crushed as are cardboard boxes that we bring home full of product. There is no place for plastic bags. I have some cloth bags, but I only use them

part of the time because when I shop for groceries I get quite a few. It is too cumbersome to carry that many bags.

Brown bags had a very humble beginning. In fact, it should be noted that they were a Pennsylvania invention. A man who worked in his father’s store in Nazareth, PA, saw a need and filled it. A patent was issued to Francis Wolle in 1852 for a paper bag making machine.

Wolle and his brother started the Union Paper Bag Machine Co. Improvements to the brown paper bag were made in the 1870s. At that point they added the glued bottom and gusset design, the type that is still around today.

A patent infringement suit came about as another bag company produced the square bottomed bags. The Columbia Bag Co. was led by Margaret Knight. Her opponent in the case reasoned the “since she was a woman she could not possibly understand the complex working of the machine.”

They were messing with the wrong lady. Ms. Knight had kept copious notes. When her diary went to court there was enough information to rule in her favor.

Most of us grew up with the supermarkets. I do recall neighborhood grocery stores, but we went to those only when we needed just a few things or when we did not feel like going all the way to the grocery store. The supermarket boom in the 1930s led to the increase in production of paper grocery bags. Few inventions were more functional than the paper bag. There were 40 billion bags produced annually. It was documented that the Union Bag and Paper Co. used over a million cords of southern pine annually employing more than 500 workers in the main plant.

Americans were at work making a product from a renewable resource that was nature friendly. Today I venture to say that the majority of our bags

are produced outside of the United States using foreign labor. Are we recycling the plastic to make the bags? Are we keeping the product out of the landfills?

I not only used the old type paper bags to line wastebaskets, I used them to drain fried foods and to create art projects. When I taught kindergarten we used old paper grocery bags to create Indian buckskin jackets. The kids loved them. After we used them in school they proudly took them home to have many more hours of fun at home.

Last year when I visited my grandson’s art class I saw another use for the paper bags. The art teacher painted the bags with modge-podge to create envelopes to house art projects. The treated surface was quite durable. I used that technique to create art projects for our Sunday school class.

The children enjoyed decorating the bags and painting them with modge-podge.

I know there are people who cut the plastic bags and use them to knit purses and bags. More power to them. With all of the plastic that is used these days the knitters can cut and knit for a good long time.

It was in the 1970s the plastic bag came on the scene. I even have a couple of plastic handles that hook through the bags to making carrying them easier. One of the local banks gave them away at the fair.

The paper bag era lasted more than a century but you will not find their remains among the garbage that is produced annually. Paper bags returned to the earth when moisture decomposed them.

I leave it up to you to decide if we are better off today than we were before the invention of the plastic bag.

A Few Words

by Phoebe Hall

Grape production would be down A field representative for a large grape juice co-op told us that grape production would be down considerably in some varieties. A nearby apple grower stated that his apple yield is approximately one-third of a normal crop, and that was before hail hit what was left. But prices for juice apples are almost as high as picked-for-

storage apples. He figures he might end up with the same income as a normal crop, with the picking cost considerably less.

Our black walnuts are still around. It scares me to death when nuts fall on the metal roof of the old smokehouse.

There does not seem to be as many this year and most of those are way up in the treetops. They

USDA forecasts lower corn and soybean production The Agriculture Department’s monthly crop report lowered the 2012 production forecasts for corn and soybeans. Economists with the American Farm Bureau Federation said the report was “bearish” for corn prices in one respect, because the estimate for ending stocks was not reduced as much as expected by some market analysts.

“As anticipated, lower projected production for both corn and soybeans was reported this month,” said AFBF economist Todd Davis. “It will be some time before the long-term effects of the 2012 drought are fully played out. But it appears likely that continued strong worldwide demand for corn and soybeans will lead to higher projected prices.”

USDA forecast corn production at 10.7 billion bushels. The average yield for corn was forecast at 122.8 bushels per acre this year, down slightly from the August prediction. Once harvest is complete, if the average corn yield comes in at 122.8 bushels per acre, it would be smallest average yield since 2003.

Soybean production is forecast at 2.63 billion bushels. The average yield for soybeans was forecast at 35.3 bushels per acre. Once harvest is complete, if the average soybean yield comes in at 35.3 bushels per acre, it would be smallest average yield since 1996.

Corn ending stocks for the marketing year were pegged slightly higher compared to USDA’s August estimate, at 733 million bushels, which represents 24 days of supply.

Ending stocks for soybeans were projected to be 115 million bushels (about a 15-day supply), unchanged compared to USDA’s August projection.

The corn and soybean planting season in South America, which begins soon, continues to be the subject of much attention and speculation.

“All eyes are on South America as spring begins,” said Davis. “Weather remains a major factor for crops in both North and South America. A bountiful harvest of both corn and soybeans is needed to rebuild stocks of these important crops,” he said.

USDA will be conducting producer surveys and field analysis throughout the fall which will provide information about the drought damage done to the 2012 corn and soybean crop, according to Davis.

are dropping down into my world with a big bang!

All our ponds are dry now except for the one right behind the barn.

The green scum over the top is solid algae!

Lots of deer and other wildlife come out of the woods looking for a drink. Luckily, they find it there.

The robins are gone — I guess they know the weather better than we do. Seed catalogs, including the field corn literature, are arriving daily, but it’s difficult to buy now when you

haven’t harvested this year’s crop.

We had a first this year. Our John Deere 2950, after 25 years, was put to rest after it caught on fire the other evening. It was stored in the shop and was still hooked up to the baler when it ignited.

Fortunately, because of quick action by our local fire department, only the tractor was totaled. There was also damage to the shop’s roof and only minor damage to the bailer, thank God! I had already gone to

bed but heard some noise out where it was stored. My husband had made a quick trip out to check the barns before retiring as he has for the last 50 years. Shortly after, he came running in to tell me that there was a fire in the shop, and he had already called 911.

Then he hurried back out. I made my way downstairs and out the back door. The firemen were coming by then, so I sat on the porch steps and watched all the activity. It was a fire all right; the blaze looked

big, but it was primarily contained to the tractor. The firemen soon had it under control and then put out.

My husband took the initiative and moved other machinery out of the way of the fire before the firemen arrived. Thank-you, W.C., I didn’t know how much was at stake, not that I didn’t pray for you. It could have been far worse if not for his quick actions.

I waited patiently for the LORD; He turned to me and heard my cry.

HORSE TALES

By Judy Van Put Safety tips for trail riding The time period of early autumn, with its cooler air temperatures, crisp mornings and sunny afternoons, is considered “prime time” for trail riding. Despite the fact that you and your horse might be in great physical condition after riding in shows all summer, there are some basic safety tips you should be aware of before setting out on the trail.

Remembering that many trails are located in secluded areas, often in hilly or mountainous areas, you’ll want to spend a little practice time riding up and down steep grades or embankments, riding on unusual surfaces such as in slippery mud, sand, rocky trails or roadways with culverts, riding past cows or other livestock (many horses are afraid of cows!) and riding past mailboxes and flags. In addition, you should also work on getting your horse used to riding along hard roadways with cars or traffic going by. And even a seasoned show horse can be reluctant to ride through chest-high grass and

weeds, heavy brush or under low hanging tree branches. Be sure you know the distance and duration of the trail ride, and make sure that it is within your horse’s stage of fitness and conditioning.

The importance of riding with a properly fitting, certified ASTM safety helmet cannot be stressed enough. Time and again, accidents happen — some even before embarking on the trail. Helmets can save lives, and can prevent serious injury. Along the same lines, wear sturdy boots or shoes with a heel to prevent your foot from sliding through the stirrup. Long pants and chaps are also preferred, especially when riding in the back country. If rain is expected, bring a rain slicker (and make sure your horse is accustomed to having you put the slicker on and take it off prior to embarking on your ride.)

In addition to being fit, your horse should be wellprepared for the trail. Before leaving your barn, check to see that your horse’s feet are evenly trimmed, and if shod, with shoes that are tight and well-fitted. Groom him thoroughly, and check to be sure there is no debris under the saddle or blanket.

It’s a good idea to use insect repellant; you may want to carry along extra fly spray or even a fly mask. And don’t forget the sunscreen! All tack should be in good repair and working condition; check all straps, buckles, fasteners and girths for wear — you don’t want to have anything break while on the trail or far from home.

Always let someone know when you are going trail riding — where you are going, and how long before you plan to return. If you are driving to your destination, also let someone know where the keys to your vehicle are in case of an injury. It’s a good idea to bring along a well-charged cell phone, basic first aid kit, hoof pick, water, compass and flashlight.

Carry an ID card; emergency telephone numbers and identification information can be stored in your helmet.

Ride with a buddy, and stay with your buddy. Be polite and respectful of others on the trail. Refrain from galloping past other riders who might not be up

to your level of speed and confidence! And while it’s fun to talk with your buddy on the ride, make sure you are always aware of your horse and his ‘body language’.

Keep a good horse-length between you and the horse in front of you; if trotting, increase your distance to two horse-lengths. If your horse tends to kick others, tie a red ribbon on his tail — a red ribbon is the universal warning for a ‘kicker’ — and if you are following a horse with a red ribbon, give extra room between. Don’t let your horse move up suddenly on another horse, and keep his head away from others.

If you need to pass another horse, do so on the left, after giving the other riders ample warning, and take your time. It’s a good idea to change leaders from time to time, to enable horses to move forward and back in the line and keep them alert and obeying your direction. Be a good leader for your horse, directing him in the direction you wish to go, not following his lead. Give him a rest after periods of trotting or moving at faster speeds; monitor his breathing and heart rate after going up steep hills and

Commissioner Aubertine encourages state horse owners to vaccinate against diseases State Agriculture Commissioner Darrel J. Aubertine on Sept, 17 urged horse owners across New York State to vaccinate their horses against Eastern Equine Encephalitis (EEE) and West Nile Virus (WNV).

This is especially important since parts of New York have mosquito activity into late November. Commissioner Aubertine is reminding horse owners to vaccinate against these diseases due to recent cases of EEE found in

horses in St. Lawrence and Westchester Counties, along with a case of WNV found in a horse in Saratoga County. The Department of Agriculture and Markets has made veterinarians across the state aware of these confirmed cases.

“While these diseases can be fatal among horses, they are also largely preventable,” said Commissioner Aubertine. “I encourage all horse owners in the state to act responsibly and make sure your

horses receive proper vaccinations. If you have questions about equine vaccinations and the health of your horse, contact your local veterinarian immediately.”

Humans cannot become infected by handling or being exposed to an infected horse.

Horses cannot spread either virus to or from other horses, people or pets. From a veterinary perspective, mosquitoes transmit both diseases from birds to horses.

Typical symptoms of

Horse Tales from A11 strenuous slopes.

When traveling up a steep slope, lean forward and move your arms up toward your horse’s neck. You can grasp onto his mane for extra support.

Conversely, when traveling down hill, lean slightly backward, with your feet extended a bit forward ahead of the girth. This will help your horse balance himself.

Watch for rocks, holes, roots and uneven footing. If you encounter an object or obstacle on the trail that causes your horse to spook, you may dismount and lead him over to the object. It’s a good idea to practice mounting and dismounting from either side prior to setting out on a trail ride.

Be prepared for puddles and water crossings, and know where you are going to cross, and how deep the water is. When you come upon a water crossing, let your horse have the opportunity to drink. This can often relax a horse that is otherwise unsettled at

crossing water.

On your way back, be sure to keep your horse at a walk; it’s not a good idea to let him race for home, and can result in bad habits in the future. In addition, this cooling off period is important, especially if you need to trailer your horse home after the ride.

Once you’ve completed the trail ride, walk your horse for awhile after he’s been untacked and check to see that he has sweated evenly under the saddle pad or blanket; look for pressure points, and treat cuts, bites or any other problems that might have occurred.

Offer him some water once he’s properly cooled down. You might want to notify family members that you’ve completed your ride and are on your way home. If you’ve been on an organized trail ride, remember to thank your host and any property owners who may have given permission for you to ride. If you use common sense and keep safety foremost in your mind, you will enjoy many ‘Happy Trails’.

EEE in equines include staggering, circling, depression, loss of appetite and sometimes fever and blindness.

Clinical signs of WNV in horses include lethargy, weakness in the hind quarters, stumbling, lack of awareness, head tilt and head twitching, convulsions, circling, partial paralysis and coma.

Horses exhibiting neurologic signs, like those listed above, need to be promptly reported by veterinarians to the State Department of Agriculture and Markets’ Division of Animal Industry at 518-4573502 in addition to their local health department. The State Department of Agriculture and Markets has been working closely with local health departments on the three confirmed cases this year.

Horses suffering from

neurologic problems must always be handled with extreme caution, since they may be unpredictable and there is also the possibility that Rabies may be the cause.

Vaccines are available to drastically reduce the incidence of EEE and WNV in horses. The vaccines can be effective for six to 12 months and horses should be re-vaccinated at least annually. In an area where the diseases occur year round, many veterinarians recommend vaccinations every six months. For the vaccine to be effective, it must be handled and administered properly, prior to an anticipated increase in mosquito activity in a local area.

Other prevention methods include eliminating standing water breeding sites for mosquitoes, using insect

repellents and removing animals from mosquito-infested areas during peak biting times, usually from dusk to dawn. There is no human vaccine for EEE or West Nile Virus.

Humans should reduce contact with mosquitoes. Wearing protective clothing and insect repellents, and avoiding the outdoors during dawn and dusk are all ways to avoid mosquito bites.

“All New Yorkers should be aware that mosquito-borne diseases may be present in their area and take appropriate steps to prevent potential infection through mosquito bites,” State Health Commissioner Nirav R. Shah, M.D., M.P.H. For more information on EEE and West Nile Virus in horses, please visit: www.agriculture. ny.gov/AI/equine/equi ne.html#3

Agriculture Counts by Kevin Pautler, Director NASS-PA Editor’s Note: This is a monthly column from the Pennsylvania Field Office of USDA’s National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS-PA) operated in cooperation with the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture.

The website is www.nass.usda.gov; for the reports mentioned below, click on the “Publications” tab.

Monthly grain prices impact dairies: As we begin a new harvest season, about 44 Pennsylvania grain buyers were scientifically selected to take part in

our monthly grain price survey over the next 12 months. Buyers in other states are also surveyed at the same time.

FSA’s Milk Income Loss Contract program depends on NASS average prices for Corn, Soybeans and Alfalfa to set the MILC target price. Milk producers are eligible for financial assistance when the average milk price falls below the target.

The accuracy of NASS grain price estimates is extremely important for grain producers and taxpayers. A one cent difference in the NASS market year average

price could change payments to growers.

These and other price reports can be found at our Internet site by clicking on “Economics” in the gray bar on the left of www.nass.usda.gov.

Sept. 1 crop forecasts: Based on grower responses to the September Ag Yield Survey, Pennsylvania yields of corn for grain, soybeans, and Burley, Maryland-type and Pennsylvania Seedleaf tobaccos are expected to be above last year.

The monthly crop forecasts were published on Sept. 12. But remember, these forecasts are based on crop

Turning a new (maple) leaf at the American Maple Museum “The Red Maples have already begun to turn, and soon the North Country will be ablaze with fall foliage,” notes American Maple Museum site coordinator Maureen Martin.

“And the onset of autumn brings the Museum’s 35th anniversary season to a close. Time to take stock of where we’ve been and where we’re going.”

From cozy startup quarters in Beaver Falls to its longtime three-story location in Croghan, NY, the American Maple Museum reflects the history and growth of the maple industry in the United States and Canada.

Through the strategic placement of more than 1,000 artifacts, the exhibits encompass the Native Americans’ legendary discovery of the secret in the sap, the white settlers’ more modern improvements (metal kettles, wooden buckets, tools that could bore into the trees), and the implementation of plastic tubing to conserve energy and manpower.

Robert Lamb, whose logging equipment business led to a passion for maple, played a key role in the development of viable tubing. Early and active patrons of the Museum, Lamb and his wife Florence not only purchased and donated the former school that now houses the Museum, but also presented The AMM with much of their personal collection of maple memorabilia.

Visitors can examine a variety of evaporators, from simplistic homestyle versions to shiny high-tech. Displays include a replica of a sugarhouse, logging office and quarters, snowshoes and logging tools from axes to chainsaws, and gathering/storage vats, which vary in design depending on the vision of local crafters.

“Although the maple industry is both cottage and corporate, here in the Tug Hill Region of New York — the key producer in the state — we are looking at sometimes fourth and fifth generations keeping a family tradition alive,” Martin explains. “The Museum’s Board, the Gift Shop’s maple products, and our exhibits underscore the personal relationship so many producers have with the maple.”

Citing the anniversary season’s Museum updates, Martin notes the addition of technology that brings personal interaction to the forefront.

“We now start our Museum tours with an excerpt from Tapping Maple Ridge, a film that pairs the how-to’s of making syrup with interviews with Lewis County producers. It’s a good basic introduction — especially for tourists, many from Europe and Asia — and leads nicely into exploration of the 10 other exhibit rooms. And then there’s our Maple Library.”

In the library, Museum guests have the opportunity to watch a lengthier more-in-depth video produced under the aegis of the Cornell Cooperative Extension. Of special note is the Oral History Project now available to the public.

Undertaken at the close of the millennium, the project’s student interviewer met with more than 20 North Country producers to record their recollections of life in the sugar bush. Audio tapes and transcripts of these dialogues provide a spring-

board for visitor response, and Museum guests are encouraged to write down their own memories of sap and syrup.

“We have aimed for a more visible presence in terms of community outreach as well as cyberspace,” Martin says. “This summer we maintained an information booth at the Woodsmen’s Field Days, staffed by knowledgeable Board members with a boost from Giftsto-Go, featuring T-shirts, caps, and souvenirs from our Maple Gift Shop.”

While several directors presented workshops at the Homesteading Fair in Lowville, other Board members, Lewis County Maple Royalty, and Museum volunteers fired up the grill for a pancake breakfast and hearty lunch. The next Pancake Breakfast is scheduled for Saturday, Oct. 6, at The AMM, in conjunction with the annual Fall Foliage Tour.

“We’re doing an overhaul of the website ( www.americanmaplemuseum.org) and we’re officially on Facebook!” Martin adds. “You have to ignore the bogus page that has nothing on it and

look for the real McCoy. Our profile picture is the iconic winter scene with bucket and maple tree.

We’ve had a lot to say all summer long — some great pictures, Museum guests, and events. Like us on Facebook and keep coming back for more.”

Projects extending into the future include expansion of the Royalty Suite with candid photos and videos of the Maple Queens and Princesses.

“We’ve already added a digital frame,” Martin notes, “highlighting girls through the years. The New York State Maple Royalty is crowned here at the Museum and we have always honored them with framed pictures in the gallery. But we’re looking to show the girls in action — making appearances at fairs and special events like our Ice Cream Social, greeting the public at parades, and workshopping with county queens and princesses from throughout the state.” She is also aware of at least one Maple Prince in the realm — and maybe a king or two.

Similar plans are underway for the International Maple Hall of

Fame. Each year, two honorees chosen from movers and shakers in the maple industry in Canada and the U.S., are inducted at ceremonies at The AMM. The Hall of Fame Gallery includes photos, plaques noting the recipient’s contribution to the maple industry, and a collection of brief bios,

but staff and volunteers are engaged in an ongoing project to breathe new life into the Hall with digital pictures and enhanced, more personal profiles.

“We are turning a new leaf,” Martin acknowledges, “but the tree is still solid maple.”

For further information, call 315-346-1107.

CANTON, NY — New York farmers and landowners have until Nov. 16 to apply for 2013 conservation program funding. The programs falling within this deadline include the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP), the Chesapeake Bay Watershed Initiative (CBWI), the Agricultural Management Assistance Program (AMA), and the Wildlife Habitat Incentives Program (WHIP).

Applications are competitive and ranked based on national, state and locally identified resource priorities and their overall benefit to the environment.

Although the 2012 Farm Bill has yet to be approved, proposed legislation indicated that it will contain similar conservation programs to those offered under the 2008 Farm Bill. At this time, applicants may still apply for funding through the same programs offered through the 2008 Farm Bill. At the time of application, applicants must specify the resource concern(s) that they intend to address.

Once further guidance on the 2012 Farm Bill is provided, NRCS will transfer applications to the appropriate conservation program.

“NRCS is proud to offer cost-assistance to the dedicated landowners of New York who actively work to improve the water quality, soil health, and wildlife habitat on their land,” said Donald Pettit NRCS State Conservationist. “Each year

Downy Mildew on soybeans in New York State

by Ken Wise, NYS IPM I have found a lot of Downy mildew (Peronospora manshurica) in soybeans the last few weeks. This is a common disease of soybeans and only occasionally can cause yield losses. This disease proliferates under high humidity and cool temperatures. The fungus can overwinter on last season’s crop residue and can also be transmitted by contaminated seed.

Fungal spores are transmitted to the plant by wind and rain. When conditions are right the disease can spread quickly through a field.

If the seed was infected with downy mildew the seeding will also be infected. Soybean downy mildew is a biotrophic organism meaning the disease can only grow and reproduce in association with soybeans.

The disease can have rapid genetic changes in response to changes among soybean varieties. There are many different races of this fungus that are monitored closely when new cultivars are being bred.

The first sign of the disease are pale green or light yellow spots on the upper leaves. As the disease progresses the spots enlarge into varying shapes and sizes.

Next, lesions appear on lower leaf surfaces, particularly in moist weather. The leaves turn yellow and the lower leaf surface becomes dusted with gray or purplish mycelium. Severely infected leaves may curl turn brown, and drop off prematurely.

The pods can be infected without obvious external symptoms. Infected seeds appear dull white and partly or completely covered with a pale coating of fungal spores.

Downy Mildew on soybeans Scouting and thresholds There are no specific economic thresholds for foliar diseases of soybeans in New York. Research needs to be done to determine these thresholds. Until then the likelihood of 10 percent yield loss is a reasonable rule of thumb for treatment.

What preventive measures help limit soybean diseases?

1. Rotate crops with corn (or other nonhosts). This will help reduce the amount of a certain pathogen in the field.

2. Use certified, disease-free seed. If you use

seed that is not certified are saved seed from your previous harvests many contain the pathogens we discussed earlier.

3. Use resistant cultivars; ask your dealer how cultivars compare for disease susceptibility or resistance and productivity. Make sure the

cultivar is suitable for your specific region of the state.

4. Use a fungicide seed treatment at planting.

This will kill pathogens that might infect the seed at planting. If you are organic make sure the soil temperature is over 500°F. This will al-

low the soybean to grow quickly and avoid pathogens in the soil.

5.

Plow infected residue under the soil surface. This will help reduce the amount of disease laying on the surface that can infect the next crop.

6. Foliar fungicides are seldom warranted in New York. If you need

to select a fungicide please consult the Cornell Guide for Integrated Field Crop Management at http://ipmguidelines.org/FieldCrops/. You can also contact your local Cornell Cooperative Extension Educator.

Planting Delays Highlight Value of Crop Insurance GROVELAND, NY - Craig Phelps started using crop insurance over ten years ago, to help ensure that the family's Edgewood Farm maintained a base level of revenue in the event of a crop loss.

Based in Livingston County, Phelps grows both organically and conventionally on about 2600 acres, in a range of soils, from lighter loam to rockier, scrabbly soil, to heavier soils. They grow about a thousand acres of organic and conventional corn for grain and silage, soybeans, as well as processing vegetables, soup beans, wheat, alfalfa and grass hay for beef cattle.

Phelps feels that the yield coverage is the best fit for his farm, because it allows them to make sales with the confidence that they will be able to cover them at harvest time. He also praised the delayed and prevented planting feature of his crop insurance policies, which pays a loss on Craig Phelps of Edgewood Farm insured crops when inclement weather prevents timely planting.

"We had an extraordinarily wet spring [in 2011], I think a record amount of rainfall in April and May put together," said Phelps. "I think we didn't plant a kernel of corn until the first of June." Due to the late start, several hundred acres were not planted according to plan. A welcome feature in a wet planting season, he calls the delayed and prevented planting coverage "probably the biggest value of crop insurance."

Phelps uses enterprise units to insure his farm. "That was my main impetus to get into crop insurance," he said. In the past he had hesitated because he felt that the chance of a farm-wide crop failure was fairly low.

Insuring by enterprise units allows a farm operation that spans a wide geographic to bundle acreage separately by FSA farm number or by county for crop insurance purposes. This way, a loss in one geographic area is not offset by a high yield on acreage with more amenable growing conditions that season, and the probability of a loss payment is increased.

As a grower of diversified organic and conventional crops, Phelps appreciates some changes in the way that crop insurance treats organic crops. "We obviously get lower yields with the organic crops and that's hurt our yield history, he said. "In the last few years they've improved that, and organic corn and conventional corn are now different crops."

"I would certainly recommend crop insurance to other farmers. I think it's a very worthwhile product."

Crop insurance must be purchased from a licensed agent. Enrollment deadlines vary by crop. The enrollment deadline for most spring-planted field crop policies is March 15th of the growing year. The winter wheat and barley crop insurance enrollment deadline is September 30th. A special type of crop insurance for pasture and hay, to insure against drought, has an enrollment deadline of November 15th, 2012 for the 2013 growing year.

Holsteins named Supreme Champion Cow, first-ever Supreme Champion Heifer Dauphin County cow, Maryland yearling take top honors from more than 300 head HARRISBURG, PA — The Holsteins swept the supreme champion contest from among nearly 1,200 head in the 2012 Premier National Junior Show, on Monday, Sept. 17, at the All-American Dairy Show in Harrisburg.

Coy Campbell of Gratz, Dauphin County, took the top cow honor with his 5 Year Old Grand Champion, Shady-Row Dundee Daphne. She topped a field of 310 head of Holsteins. Coy is the 15year-old son of Garth and Melissa Campbell.

The inaugural Supreme Champion Heifer was the winning Fall Yearling, Peace & Plenty Ast Fishy, owned by Austin Schwartzbeck of Union Bridge, MD. He is the 20-year-old son of Gus and Lisa Schwartzbeck.

Holstein judge Kelli Cull of Lomira, WI, gave the reasons on behalf of the other judges. “I’m glad my fellow judges agreed with me on the selection of the Holsteins,” she said. “I just love the quality of this cow and the heifer is correct all the way through,” said Cull.

The $2,000 Supreme Champion cow award is sponsored by AgChoice and Mid Atlantic Farm Credit and the John L.

Morris Memorial Blanket is sponsored by the Center for Dairy Excellence.

The first Samuel G. Yoder Crystal Star and $500 award presented to the Supreme Champion heifer is sponsored by the American, Junior American and Mid-Atlantic Milking Shorthorn societies and the AMSS Syndicate.

The hand-painted Grand Champion show boxes are sponsored by Fulton Bank, and Holstein Plaza sponsored the Parade of Champion show shirts.

Things to keep in mind before and during corn silage harvest • On warm, dry, breezy fall days, whole plant moisture can drop up to two percent per day. If you have not done so already, check the maturity and moisture level of your corn. Aim to harvest within the 30-35 percent dry-matter window.

• If you have a bumper crop, consider chopping higher for a higher energy corn silage that can help you reduce your feed bill.

• Depending on whether you have a kernel processor, keeping the theoretical length of cut between 3/8 inches (without processing) and 3/4 inches (with processing).

• Keep in mind all the ways “shrink” happens on the farm and take steps to minimize losses.

• When packing, don’t hurry, and make sure you have enough tractor weight to get the job done well: total tractor weight (for all continuously packing tractors) divided by 800 equals the number of wet tons you can pack per hour.

• Oxygen exclusion will be maximized when: plastic is thicker; multiple layers are used; an oxygen barrier is included; and if the covering is adequately weighed down (tires should be touching).

Once the seeds are in the ground, your theoretical yield maximum is established. Good decisions (weed control, N rates, etc.) will keep you nearer that theoretical maximum level. The same can be said about corn silage quality: once the corn is at the proper moisture for harvest, the quality maximum is established and it only goes down from there. Further, once it is in storage, there is a theoretical maximum quantity and quality that will actually enter the digestive tract of your animals, and many places for it to be lost. As with most things, it is the little things that add up to make a big difference: poor silage-making and silo management practices can cause losses of 40 percent between the field and the digestive tract of your cows. Here are some things you can do to reduce losses on your farm: Start on time: We often think of whole plant corn silage drying down at a rate of 1/2 percent per day; on warm, dry, breezy fall (or late summer) days, whole plant moisture can actually decrease by 2 percent per day, and the optimal point to begin harvest can sneak up on us. This is particularly likely after a hot summer. Silage made from

over-mature corn affects quality in several ways that combine in various ways to harm your bottom line: higher fiber, lower digestibility, more shrink (difficult to pack, more oxygen entrapment and spoilage). For bunker silos, harvesting the corn when it is 30 — 35 percent dry matter will maximize the opportunity for attaining a packing density of 15 lb/ft3 or more.

Cutting height: This obviously does not pertain to shrink, but needs to be mentioned (again). Corn prices are at record high levels. You could offset some of that cost by chopping your corn higher than usual. That will obviously result in a lower total yield, but many farmers in some parts of the Northeast have the best corn crop that they have ever had, so the loss could be sustainable in some cases. The choice may be between chopping higher to improve quality and reducing your grain bill, or chopping low and having enough corn silage to sell. Depending on where you are, selling corn silage may not be as easy as it is in some years.

Keep in mind that when you sell corn silage, you are moving nutrients off the farm.

Understand “shrink”: If a couple of cucumbers spoil in the refrigerator once in a while, nobody gets too upset. If 40 percent+ of the food is lost or spoiled, the household managers tend to get excited. Brian Holmes, a University of Wisconsin Extension agricultural engineer demonstrates that even under ‘good management’ 18 percent of the harvestable corn silage in your field never makes it into the digestive tract of an animal. Under “not so good management” almost 29 percent will never make it into an animal. Using a spreadsheet (see references below), Holmes neatly demonstrates that on an 85 cow dairy, the difference between 19 and 29 percent loss amounts to almost $17,000/year! Sources of loss include harvest, filling, storage, storage feedout, and feeding practices.

Chopping length and kernel processing: Fermentation is an anaerobic process. The more air space you have among particles in the silo, the more spoilage you can expect. Crop processors allow kernel-cracking to take place without having a suboptimal theoretical length of cut (TLC). Without a crop processor, a 3/8 inches TLC is necessary to adequately damage the kernel to optimize

starch utilization in the system. With crop processors, the TLC can be increased without affecting starch digestibility; while increased fiber length improves rumen health, having a TLC longer than 3/4 inch makes achieving an optimal packing density more difficult. Kernel processing improves starch utilization and reduces cob fragment size to prevent sorting during feeding. Limin Kung, Jr., a noted silage expert from University of Delaware, suggests that processing is adequate if 90-95 percent of kernels are cracked or crushed (70 percent less than 1/4 kernel size) and if the cobs are in at least 8 pieces.

Packing: Chopped corn often shows up at the bunker faster than we think. Packing layers should be less than six inches thick to prevent excessive trapping of oxygen. A University of Wisconsin formula suggests that the number of wet tons of silage a continuously packing tractor can adequately pack can be determined by dividing the weight of the packing tractor by 800. If packing is your bottleneck, it is better to add weights to the tractor, add another tractor, or slow the chopper down rather than to inadequately pack the material going into the bunker silo. Keep this in mind if you are using custom harvesters who may be able to harvest much faster than you can pack.

Covering to Exclude Oxygen: Some farmers do not cover their bunker silos, others plant rye on top, thinking that will help somehow. Inadequate oxygen exclusion from the top can lead to storage losses over 30 percent! White plastic is better than black (lower temperature), thicker (8 mil) is better than thin plastic (4 mil), two layers are better than one, and including oxygen-barrier plastic is ideal.

The covering will not function as intended unless it is weighted down adequately. A well-weighted cover that includes an oxygen barrier may have as little as 1-2 inches of spoilage on the top compared with 12 inches in poorly covered or uncovered bunker silo.

For the most part, the biological shrink between the field and the digestive tract of the animal is due to microbial degradation of highly digestible nutrients. The only way to compensate for low quality feed is to purchase grain. Take an inventory of each step of your silage making practices and note opportunities for improvement. This will be a giant step towards keeping your feed costs as low as possible.

State Agriculture Commissioner Darrel J. Aubertine on Sept. 18 reminded New Yorkers that Sept. 30 is the deadline for signing up for winter wheat and barley crop insurance. Crop insurance includes prevented planting coverage and provides some additional coverage when weather — wet or dry — delays planting beyond recommended planting dates.

“Crop insurance can provide farmers with an insurance payment that covers their cost of production when the weather is not on their side,” said Commissioner Aubertine. “The federal crop insurance program is voluntary, and is the best option for farmers who want to protect against losses due to drought, flooding, or insect damage.”

In 2011, New York State farmers purchased 603 winter wheat policies, insuring 64,801 acres for $14.3 million in coverage. This covered 54 percent of the crop planted last year. For those with coverage, 174 separately insured units received payments totaling $1.2 million. There were 10,000 acres of winter barley planted in 2011, of which 1,036 were insured.

Planting a cover crop this fall will not adversely impact crop insurance coverage for spring-planted crops, due to action by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) to help farmers produce more forage. Check with your crop insurance agent for details. Farmers can read the USDA’s new guidance on cover crops and crop insurance at www.rma.usda.gov/news/currentissues/drought/.

In addition, the pasture, hay and forage rainfall index crop insurance enrollment date has been changed to Nov. 15, 2012 for the 2013 growing season.This crop insurance provides coverage against drought only, but is a simplified program that compares historical average rainfall to the rainfall for the months insured by the producer.

Crop insurance can only be purchased from a licensed crop insurance agent. USDA provides a listing of all crop insurance agents doing business in New York State on its website at www.rma.usda.gov. New Yorkers can call the Department of Agriculture and Markets at 800-554-4501 for a print copy of agents in their county.

“Farm Bill Now!” rally draws hundreds of supporters On Sept. 12, More than 200 Farmers Union members joined hundreds of other farmers, ranchers and agriculture industry supporters in the shadow of the Capitol for the “Farm Bill Now!” rally to send a clear message to Congress that they want a farm bill now.

National Farmers Union (NFU) President Roger Johnson cohosted the rally with American Farm Bureau Federation President Bob Stallman.

They were joined on stage by many members of Congress and leaders from a broad spectrum of supporting organizations.

“We are all united on one thing; we need a farm bill and we need a farm bill now,” said Johnson.

Senator Debbie Stabenow, D-MI, chairwoman of the Agriculture, Nutrition and Forestry Committee; Senator Jerry Moran, R-KS; Representative Collin Peterson, D-MN, ranking member of the Committee on Agriculture; and Representative Kristi Noem, R-SD, addressed the crowd.

Several members of Congress stood with their colleagues on stage in a sign of support.

“We heard from several members of Congress who have been on the Hill a long time, and they said there’s plenty of time to pass a farm bill,” said Johnson. “There’s no excuse for Congress not doing their job. This is detrimental to all of America. The farm bill is a food, energy and jobs bill.”

Afterwards, Johnson expressed cautious optimism that the message of the rally would make an impact on legislators.

The Senate passed their version of the bill last June and the House Agriculture Committee passed theirs in July. It now

needs to go to the House floor.

“I’m hopeful that the enthusiastic response and high energy of the crowd made an impact. The ball is now in the House’s court. If the members didn’t get the message, perhaps they’ll get it on Nov. 6,” said Johnson.

The “Farm Bill Now!” rally was endorsed by 90 associations and coalitions representing commodity crops, livestock, dairy, specialty crops, consumers, state and local governments, minor crops, energy and biobased product groups, farm cooperatives and financial groups.

The other speakers included Fred Yoder, representative of 25x’25; Ambassador Tony P. Hall, executive director of Alliance to End Hunger; Bob Stallman, president of American Farm Bureau Federation; Jon Scholl, president of American Farmland Trust; Steve Wellman, president of American Soybean Association; Gene Schmidt, president of National Association of Conservation Districts; Bing Von Bergen, first vice president of National Association of Wheat Growers; Sally Greenberg, executive director of National Consumers League; Garry Niemeyer, president of National Corn Growers Association; Roger Johnson, president of National Farmers Union; Ken Nobis, president of Michigan Milk Producers Association, representing National Milk Producers Federation; and David Masser of President and COO Keystone Potato Products in Penn., representing United Fresh Produce Association.

by Angela Shelf Medearis Add flavor with lemons If you’re trying to reduce the amount of salt you use to season your savory dishes, try lemon juice. Nothing adds zest or intensity to a dish like a squeeze of lemon. Lemons also act as a flavor catalyst, preparing the taste buds for the next flavor.

Lemons provide a burst of brightness, flavor and freshness to your recipes.

Bright, yellow, tart and tangy, lemons are one of nature’s most versatile, healthy and delicious fruits. Since lemons are available throughout the year, they make an attractive, affordable and accessible recipe ingredient.

Adding lemon juice to marinades for grilled recipes is a great way to brighten up the flavors. You also can grill lemon

halves and squeeze the smoky juices over your dish for an added flavor boost.

Try using a fresh, fragrant lemon for this Lemon Ginger Chicken with Carrot Cashew Slaw recipe. It’s guaranteed to brighten up your day!

Lemon Ginger Chicken with Carrot Cashew Slaw Lemon-Soy Sauce Marinade: 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice 1/4 cup canola or olive oil plus 1 tablespoon, reserved 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce 2 tablespoons peeled, grated ginger 2 tablespoons packed light brown sugar 1 teaspoon hot chili-garlic sauce, such as Sriracha

In a medium bowl, whisk together the all of the marinade ingredients except the tablespoon of oil. Wash chicken and pat dry. Place the chicken between sheets of plastic wrap and pound to an even thickness.

2. Arrange the chicken breasts in a

single layer on a rimmed platter or in a glass baking dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, coating it with the marinade on all sides. Set chicken aside to marinade while preparing the salad.

Salad: In a large bowl combine lemon juice, sesame oil, soy sauce and stevia or agave syrup until combined. Add remaining salad ingredients and mix well. Set aside at room temperature.

To cook the chicken: Using a large pan over high heat, add remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Cook chicken, about 5 to 6 minutes per side. Cook until both sides are nicely browned and chicken is cooked through. Stack salad on top of the chicken. Serves 4. (c) 2012 King Features Synd., Inc., and Angela Shelf Medearis

Submitted by the Wayne County Dairy Princess Committee As the summer draws to an end, we reflect back on all of the events we attended this past summer.

Our summer season began with a float in the Pride and Patriotism Parade in Waymart. Princess Jackie Chyle attended the Tractor Parade in Callicoon, NY. The court had floats in both the Pleasant Mount and Hawley July Fourth parades, Newfoundland Parade, Lake Ariel Fireman’s Parade and the Lakewood Parade. Selling tshirts, ice cream bars and walking tacos while promoting the dairy industry was the goal of the Honesdale Sidewalk Sale Days rounding out the month of July.

In August, the court was busy at the Wayne County Fair. Everyone took turns handing out ribbons during the Dairy Open and 4-H Shows. We also sold t-shirts and assisted Wayne County 4-H by scooping up ice cream in the ice cream booth. Also in August was the District Dairy Show where we handed out ribbons and sold t-shirts.

Many promotions were also done in local daycare centers, ice cream shops and vacation bible schools that had a farm theme. Princess Jackie also attended the Dairy Princess Seminar to prepare for the upcoming pageant on September 22 in Camp Hill, PA. How do court members keep up with such a busy promotion schedule? We fuel up with dairy products and you can too! By incorporating dairy into three main meals and snacks, you can easily get three servings each day. The calcium in dairy products will help build strong bones and healthy teeth while giving you the energy you need to keep moving.

ASA supports discharge petition to move House Farm Bill In response to the Sept. 13 introduction of a discharge petition by Representative Bruce Braley (D-Iowa) that would force the idling Federal Agriculture Reform and Risk Management Act (the 2012 Farm Bill) to the House floor for a vote, American Soybean Association (ASA) President Steve Wellman, a soybean farmer from Syracuse, NE, issued the following statement: “With the House of Representatives in session for only four days until farm programs established in the 2008 Farm Bill begin to expire, we are at a point where the need for congressional action on the new farm bill is at a critical stage. This is important legislation should not be subject to partisan politics. It affects the livelihood of the 21,000 farmer members of the American Soybean Association, more than 600,000 soybean farmers nationwide, more than 2 million Americans working in agriculture, and the 23 million American jobs that depend on our industry.

“The bill provides risk management coverage for farmers for the next five

years that simply will not be accomplished by a short-term extension.

The bill also enables farmers to make planting decisions in the coming year and beyond with the knowledge of which farm programs will be in place.

“While the discharge petition advanced today by Congressman Braley is certainly an unorthodox tactic, we are now forced to support this drastic measure. Farmers have been told we haven’t expressed enough concern about the lack of new farm legislation. For weeks, we’ve been told there isn’t enough time to pass the bill. We’ve been told that a one-year extension or a piecemeal disaster bill will cover our needs in the interim.

Our clear reply to Congress is that the only acceptable outcome is a full, five-year farm bill passed through the House before Sept. 30. If it takes Congressman Braley’s petition to make that happen, we’re behind it, and we encourage every member of the House that has a stake in ensuring certainty for America’s farmers to sign it.”

Morrisville State College student beefs up resume — Runs college’s annual cattle sale as part of internship MORRISVILLE, NY — Katy Kemmeren has something new to add to her resume.

The Morrisville State College student spent the last few months coordinating the college’s annual Autumn Review Sale as part of her senior year internship.

Kemmeren, an agricultural business development bachelor degree major, was among more

than 90 students in various majors who pitched in during Morrisville State College annual Autumn Review Sale, which marked its 30th anniversary this year.

The consignment sale, held Sept. 8 at the Madison County Cooperative Extension Center on Eaton Street in Morrisville, was entirely student-run this year

with dairy, diesel and ag majors joining forces to help.

Seventy-two full lots were sold averaging $1,881. The sale featured mostly Holstein lots with the exception of one Jersey calf added to commemorate the group’s 30th year milestone.

“The sale went well and the auctioneer was very pleased with the

lineup of cattle despite the bad market due to a dry cropping season and milk prices being low,” said Kemmeren, who also selected all of the cattle for this year’s sale.

“The words used by our buyers and the outside professionals we worked with were ‘impressive,’ ‘professional,’ and ‘organized,’ and I think this is a reflection

Prior to and during the sale, students assisted with grooming, clipping, feeding, bedding and milking, among other duties.

“I commend all of the students with the success of sale, which is a result of the effort and care they put into the presentation of these cattle,” Mooney said.

of Katy’s efforts,” said Steve Mooney, assistant professor of dairy science.

Kemmeren, who grew up on a third-generation dairy farm in Bainbridge, NY, gained a better understanding about the dairy industry through her participation in the sale.

“I learned how to work with many different kinds of consignors and industry profes-

sional as we all had one goal of marketing high quality animals and improving the industry as a whole,” she said. “I also made connections that will last a lifetime.”

Grain marketing: Unheard of prices may cause marketing paralysis

by John Berry, Ag Marketing Educator, Penn State Extension Are grain prices really as high as we think?

No new news to speak of on expectations for a 2012 corn and bean harvest. “It was hot and dry” for an extended period of time in the major world corn production region. I’m guessing this will lead to continued price volatility. Soybeans are a similar story — except — the U.S. has competition in the other hemisphere when it comes to world domination in this market. If you were farming in

Brazil, Argentina, or any South American farm community, what would you be planning to do? If it were me, I’d be going all out to make a record planting and hope for a great harvest.

Awaiting the next USDA Supply and Demand report I expect to hear little additional information on deteriorating crop conditions. The damage has mostly been reported. There will be something about decreased demand, slightly.

Corn is currently trading about 64 percent lower than its all time

Considering historical price data gives this chart (adapted from Blimling & Associates, Inc, Aug. 31, 2012)

inflation adjusted high set in the 1970s This is all great fun, but my question remains: “What are you going to do about it?”

Dr. Jim Kendricks, retired professor, University of Nebraska, had a couple grain marketing no-brainers he tried to get his students to memorize. One that I remember is: “A short

crop has a long tail.” This means that when we have a short crop grain prices peak early in the marketing year and taper off until the next harvest. Think back to the 2011 crop marketing year. Prices peaked early and tapered off — if it hadn’t been for this overdue Midwest drought. I am not betting the farm on a 2013 drought (at least not yet.)

Thinking a little longer term and considering the strength of the U.S. dollar and the effects of inflation gives this chart.

Pace Law School to host seminar on local food law General public admission is only $15 NEW YORK, NY — Pace University, School of Law in White Plains, NY will host a live seminar on the survey of local food law on Monday, Oct. 29, from 6-8:30 p.m. in the Moot Court Room located in the Law Library. Instructors include Cari Rincker, Esq., the Principal of Rincker Law, PLLC, Judith LaBelle, Esq., President Emeritus and Senior Fellow at Glynwood, and Jason Foscolo, Esq., the Principal of Jason Foscolo, LLC. Danielle Brown, JD, will moderate the panel discussion.

The seminar aims to give a cursory overview of issues affecting the local food movement, its relevance in today’s food economy, and resources available in the region.

The faculty members will give a brief overview of a myriad of legal issues affecting the local food movement including: (1) direct marketing, (2) food labeling, (3) environmental regulations, (4)

slaughter regulations, (5) product liability, (6) Food Safety Modernization Act (“FSMA”) exemptions, (7) raw milk, (8) insurance, (9) urban/suburban agriculture, (10) land use and zoning, (11) right-tofarm and nuisance laws, (12) cottage food operation law, (13) business law, and (14) employment/labor law.

Registration fees for the seminar are the fol-

lowing: Attorney ($125), Pace Law School Alumni ($100), General Public ($15), and Pace Law School Students (no charge). Attorneys will be able to receive 2.5 Continuing Legal Education (“CLE”) Professional Practice Credits for attending the seminar.

“I’m excited that Pace Law School is making this seminar available to the general public at such a rea-

sonable price,” says Rincker, a food and agriculture lawyer in New York City. “I hope that the agriculture community will take advantage of this opportunity to learn more about the diverse legal issues affecting the local food movement in New York.”

Conventional + Robot: still equals mastitis and slaughtered cows!

A recent article featuring prior CoPulsation™ customer David Dallam states that when switching from CoPulsation™ to a Lely robot that SCC went from under 150,000 to over 700,000 and production from 26,000 to under 20,000. If you look inside any robot you will see the same 60 year old pulsation technology in your parlor and the same meters, basically the only new technology is the robot arm. The robot simply provides the consistent milking protocols the NMC supports.

The liner pinching causing new infections and damaged quarters is the same with a robot as it is in your herd. The end result is mastitis and culled cows.

See a video of young woman reacting to the pain of a conventional liner action at www.Facebook.com/CoPulsation and understand why your cows are milking poorly.

Brown stem rot on soybeans Brown stem rot (BSR), an unusual soybean disease, is suspected of causing problems in St. Lawrence County. Brown stem rot is caused by Phialophora gregata. The fungus survives as mycelium on soybean residue. The pathogen infects roots of young soybean plants. Wet soils and air temperatures of 70 to 80 degrees F favor infection of stem tissues. At the R2 stage, symptomatic plants have a brown pith from the roots up the plant. At the R4 stage leaves of infected plants exhibit interveinal yellowing with the leaves ultimately turning brown. In contrast to SDS plants, leaves of plants

infected with brown stem rot shrivelup but remain attached to the plant.

Please view the following website for photos of the disease: www.soybeans.umn.edu/crop/diseases/brow n_stem_rot.htm Management of brown stem rot 1. Cultivar Selection: There are varieties of soybeans with good resistance to BSR. 2. Crop Rotation: Since this disease has to survive on soybean residue rotation is an important key to its management. Rotating with corn, small grains, alfalfa or forage can dramatically reduce brown stem rot disease incidence.

3. Tillage: No-till fields are at higher risk for brown stem rot since the fungus can build higher levels of inoculum over time in infected soybean residues. The use of tillage or minimum tillage promotes decomposition and thus is a viable management strategy to limit the disease development.

4. Plant health: If you maintain plant health like controlling weeds, good soil fertility, monitoring insect pests for possible damage will help the plant to better tolerate the disease.

There continue to be reports statewide of soybean vein necrosis virus (SVNV) symptoms on soybeans.

FARM

about the occurrence and potential impact of this disease. If you see these symptoms collect a half dozen or so leaves that show the veinal chlorosis (often in an oak-leaf pattern) and necrosis of tissues extending from leaf veins. Information on field location (GPS or town and county) is essential; information on soybean variety, cropping practices, and other observations is helpful. You can put these leaves in a zip-lock bag with a slightly moist paper towel and mail them to: Jaime Cummings at the Field Crops Pathology Laboratory, Department of Plant Pathology and Plant-Microbe Biology Cornell University, 334 Plant Science Building, Ithaca, NY 14853-5904.

Sudden Death Syndrome in soybeans Mike Hunter (Jefferson County CCE) reports that a field of soybeans in St. Lawrence County has “Sudden Death Syndrome (SDS).” This is one of the more important diseases of soybeans in the Midwest. In New York State we have had only a few cases of the

disease. The disease is caused by a soil fungus Fusarium virguliforme.

The symptoms of SDS first appear after flowering and during pod fill. You first notice yellowing and defoliation of the upper leaves.

Generally the disease begins in a small area of the field and spreads.

Early indications of the disease include mottling and mosaic symptoms on the leaf. As SDS continues there is yellowing between the veins, followed by the leaf turning brown, death and the leaf falling off the plant.

until the soil is warm so the plants can grow more quickly.

3. Crop Rotation: There is not a lot of good information on crop rotation relative to SDS. Continuous beans do cause a buildup of SDS. A two to three year rotation has shown less disease than the continuous beans.

4. Tillage: Fields that are tilled or minimally tilled had less disease

than no-tillage systems.

5. Fungicide: Soil fumigation is not economically feasible for control of SDS. 6. Plant health: If you maintain plant health like controlling weeds, good soil fertility, monitoring insect pests for possible damage will help the plant to better tolerate the disease.

Cornell University plans New York All Forage Bull Test Cornell University is pleased to announce the New York All Forage Fed Bull Test. The purpose of the test is to develop and evaluate the performance and quality of young bulls on a typical commercial forage diet. As the predominant feedstuff used in a cow/calf operation is forage, the data collected will assist producers in selecting bulls raised in conditions similar to the environment under which they will be expected to perform. The diet will consist of baleage and/or dry hay.

The test will be conducted at the Cornell University Teaching and Research Unit in Dryden, NY, and officially begin on Dec. 13, 2012 and conclude April 12, 2013. Delivery date is Dec. 1. The test is open to bulls of all beef breeds born between Jan. 1, 2012 and June 15, 2012. The cost per bull is $425 which offers owners an affordable option to both develop their young bulls and have them fully evaluated as potential herd sires. Interested producers need to apply by Oct. 1, 2012

with a non-refundable $50 deposit.

Balance is due Dec. 1 upon delivery to the test station. Eligible bulls will be accepted on a first-to-register basis, and Cornell reserves the right to limit the number of bulls consigned per farm in case of limited capacity. Health protocols, including vaccinations, dehorning and 30-day weaning need to be completed prior to delivery to the test station.

Information that will be collected on the bulls includes gain, cost of gain,

model-predicted dry matter intake and feed efficiency, temperament scoring, structural and breeding soundness measurements, frame size and carcass ultrasound measurements.

To consign bulls or for more information contact Mike Baker, Cornell University Beef Cattle Extension Specialist at 607-255-5923, mjb28@cornell.edu or Nancy Glazier, Cornell Cooperative Extension Small Farms Specialist at 585-315-7746, nig3@cornell.edu.

Will Farmers Get a Farm Bill or be Left Holding the Bag? Issued Sept. 14, 2012 The latest World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates report (WASDE) reduced the 2012 milk production forecast for the

third month in a row, “reflecting a slower rate of growth in milk per cow in the second half of the year.” USDA udder counters forecast milk output to hit 199.9 billion pounds, down 100 million pounds from last month’s projection, and compares

month ago, and compares to $18.37 in 2011 and $14.41 in 2010.

The 2013 average remained at $17.70$17.70.

The butter price forecast for 2013 was reduced slightly on weaker expected demand but forecasts for other products were unchanged. Thus, the Class II price forecast was unchanged but the Class IV price was lowered. It is now projected to average $15.45$15.75 for 2012. That compares to $15.10-

In politics; lawmakers returned to Capitol Hill this week. One important piece of legislation to deal with is the 2012 Farm Bill. The Senate passed its version, as has the House Agriculture Committee, but the full House has yet to vote on it.

Both versions include reforms to the U.S. dairy safety net policies, including the elimination of the Milk Income Loss Contract (MILC) and the Dairy Price Support programs. Both bills would replace them with a two pronged safety net program, one part being the Dairy Producer Margin Protection Program (DPMPP) and the second being the Dairy Market Stabilization Program (DMSP).

National Milk and more than a dozen other agricultural organizations urged Senate leaders to “refrain from supporting” any legislation resembling the House-passed disaster bill if such a measure is presented. Supporting such a measure would detract from the larger mission of passing a long-term 2012 Farm Bill, they said, and a public rally featuring speakers from the Senate, House, and various other farm organiza-

to 196.2 billion in 2011 and 192.8 billion in 2010. The 2013 forecast was unchanged at 198.9 billion. Skimsolids imports were raised but the export forecast was unchanged.

Product prices were forecast higher for 2012 resulting in higher Class III and IV milk price forecasts. The 2012 Class III price was projected to average $16.75-$16.95 per hundredweight (cwt.), up from the $16.50$16.70 projected a

Mielke from B13 tions was held September 12 to lobby lawmakers to pass a Farm Bill before September 30.

In late breaking news Thursday, Dairy Profit Weekly (DPW) reported that U.S. Rep. Bruce Braley (D-Iowa) filed a bipartisan “discharge petition” which could force House floor consideration of a 2012 Farm Bill proposal. The petition was filed after House Speaker John Boehner allowed the House Ag Committee’s proposal to be reported from committee. Immediately, Rep. Braley formally introduced his bipartisan discharge petition, signed by 38 other House members. If at least 218 House members sign the petition, leaders are forced to bring the legislation to the floor for a vote.

“While the discharge petition advanced by Congressman Braley is certainly an unorthodox tactic, we are now forced to support this drastic measure, said American Soybean Association (ASA) President Steve Wellman, a soybean farmer from Syracuse, Nebraska.

Checking the markets, cash block cheese closed the second Fri-

day in September at $1.8725 per pound, up 4 1/4-cents on the week and 9 1/2-cents above a year ago. Ten offers went uncovered Friday. Barrel closed at $1.8275, up 5 1/4cents on the week and 10 3/4-cents above a year ago. Eighteen carloads of block found new homes on the week and 12 of barrel. The AMS-surveyed U.S. average block price inched to $1.8533, up 0.6 cent, while the barrels averaged $1.8330, up 0.1 cent.

Food service demand is showing added interest in cheese with most schools back in session, according to USDA’s Dairy Market News. While domestic demand is good, export interest is weaker as U.S. prices are above international prices in many cases.

Export sales are being assisted by the CWT program which announced that it accepted 11 requests for export assistance this week to sell 3.337 million pounds of cheese and 385,809 pounds of butter to customers in Asia and the Middle East. The product will be delivered through February 2013 and raised CWT’s 2012 cheese exports to 82.4

million pounds, 57.1 million pounds of butter, and 123,459 pounds of anhydrous milk fat to 34 countries.

The Daily Dairy Report (DDR) says U.S. exports of nonfat dry milk (NDM) slowed in July, down 19 percent from July 2011 and 21 percent lower than June 2012 after adjusting for the number of days in the month.

USDA’s Foreign Agricultural Service says U.S. NDM exports for the first seven months of the year were 7 percent higher than a year earlier. July exports to Mexico, the largest importer of U.S. NDM, were down 22 percent from July 2011 and off 24 percent from the prior month. Year-to-date exports to Mexico are up 22 percent and account for 41percent of NDM exports. Exports to China for January to July were 48 percent higher this year than in 2011, and account for 4 percent of NDM exports, according to the DDR. In general, exports to major NDM importers in Southeast Asia excluding China are lower than last year and the DDR pointed out that the U.S. appears to have lost market share to New Zealand, where

milk powder exports were very strong in July. European exports have been firm all year, but the U.S. and Europe are approaching seasonal lows in NDM production.

The DDR warned that the U.S. could lose more market share in coming months as New Zealand enters peak production and spot prices of U.S. dairy products remain higher than world prices.

Mary Ledman, editor of the DDR, addressed some revisions in several types of cheese production for the first half of 2012 by USDA in

their recent Dairy Products report but particularly in Cheddar. She reported that Cheddar output was lowered 41.2 million pounds or 2.5 percent, “a significant revision.” The reason given, she said, was that a plant reported all of their cheese as Cheddar when in fact it produced several varieties.

2012 and 2011 Cheddar production was overstated and the revision for the entire year was down 45.2 million pounds.

She talks about it in her Daily Dairy Discussion which is a free download every Friday at www.daily-

dairyreport.com.

Jerry Dryer also wrote about the revisions in his September 7 Dairy and Food Market Analyst. He reported that the big revision was Gouda production which was originally reported as American cheese.

“USDA’s first estimate, published in April said Gouda output in 2011 totaled 16.2 million pounds.

After the revisions, output stood at 65.7 million. Gouda production has increased dramatically in recent years be-

Mielke from B14 cause it is the cheese of choice among overseas customers.”

Dryer wrote. “Historically, Europe supplied these buyers with gouda cheese for processing.”

Meanwhile; cash butter started the first two days of the week losing 4 1/2-cents but recovered some and closed Friday at $1.85 per pound, down 1 1/2cents on the week (end-

ing 11 consecutive weeks of gain) and 5 1/4-cents below a year ago. Four cars traded hands on the week.

AMS butter averaged $1.8037, up 3 1/2cents.

Churning schedules, especially over the Labor Day weekend, were generally stronger as cream supplies were available to churns coast to coast, accord-

ing to USDA. Most butter producers were pleased with the additional offerings as many feel that cream supplies will tighten this fall.

Butter demand is seasonally steady. Export activity continues from the U.S. including that from the CWT. Cash Grade A nonfat dry milk lost a penny on the week, slipping to $1.69. Extra Grade

held all week at $1.6350. AMS powder averaged $1.3622, up 3.6 cents, and dry whey averaged 57.45 cents, up 1.4 cents.

USDA reports that Class I demand was strong after the holiday weekend across much of the nation. Eastern milk supplies are tight with Florida importing 72 loads the first week of September. Hurri-

cane Isaac caused some temporary transportation problems with handlers in the Southeast.

Midwest manufacturing milk supplies were aided by the long holiday weekend as some plants took the weekend off and others worked extra shifts to increase inventories.

California milk production is trending slightly higher as temperatures have moderated. Processors are handling current supplies with relative ease.

New Mexico milk output is flat and tracking below year ago levels.

Milk production in the Northwest is slowing following seasonal patterns. Milk handlers are balancing supplies within the region.

Cream demand is increasing as Class II plants go back to full production.

Checking the price front, California’s October Class I milk price was announced by the California Department of Food and Agriculture at $20.55 per cwt. for the north and $20.82 for the south. Both are up $1.21 from September but 95 cents below October 2011.

The 2012 Class I

price average now stands at $18.25 for the north, down from $20.72 at this time a year ago but compares to $16.66 in 2010. The southern average now stands at $18.52, down from $20.99 a year ago and compares to $16.93 in 2010. The Federal order Class I price is announced September 19.

One quick update from last week’s story about legal action being filed against the California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA) over the state’s Class 4b milk pricing; Ag Secretary Karen Ross issued a statement deferring to its plan to assemble a “Dairy Future Task Force.”

She said “Dairy producers, processors and cooperatives are being asked to come together as a coalition to make recommendations for changes to the pricing structure, so that there is long-term stability in the industry and California may maintain its status as a world leader in dairy production well into the future.” Details are available at CDFA’s website blog.

by Christina PeterssonWolfe, Extension Dairy Scientist, Milk Quality & Milking Management The term “precision dairy” refers to the management style that incorporates the use of various data collection technologies currently available for commercial use. These technologies include in-line milk analyzers, pedometers, behavior monitors, rumination collars, temperature recording devices, RFID tags, and the list goes on. The data generated from these devices is overwhelming, to the say the least. In response to this, many researchers are examining ways to use this data to improve cow health and comfort as well as overall farm profitability.

In a recent collaborative study with the University of Florida, we examined the ability to use daily animal activity data and milk components as indicators of clinical mastitis.

A total of 268 clinical mastitis cases were examined from Virginia Tech and the University of Florida dairy herds for daily changes in milk yield, electrical conductivity, milk fat, protein, and lactose percent, as well as activity measurements including daily rest time, daily rest duration, daily rest bouts, and daily steps taken. Additionally, a milk sample was collected from each clinical case and submitted for culture. The results show an increase in electrical conductivity, milk fat and protein percent during a case of clinical mastitis, while milk yield and lactose concentration decreased.

No statistical changes in animal activity were observed prior to onset of clinical signs. However, we used a complex statistical model to ex-

Animal activity data and milk components as indicators of clinical mastitis amine ability of the animal activity data combined with the milk component data to predict cows at risk for mastitis. In this model, we found the combina-

tion of daily activity measures with milk component data was most accurate at identifying cows with clinical mastitis. We also examined the changes in

milk components relative to which bacterial pathogen was isolated.

These results show changes in milk components was affected by the bacterial pathogen

causing the infection.

This study shows that daily monitoring of animal activity and milk components can detect disease prior to clinical diagnosis and allow

producers to make proactive management decisions regarding herd health.
