t’s winter and you may be in the barn instead of the kitchen but the pressure is high and you might feel like you are the one in the cooker. I don’t think there is a commodity or a region of the country that is unscathed in this down cycle. I have been on dairy farms, cattle ranches, crops farms, orchards and permanent planting operations and everyone is feeling the pressure.

I have traveled to the Northeast, Southeast, Northwest, Midwest, South and later this month I’m headed to the Hawaiian Islands and all of those areas are experiencing down cycles. The issues may be from supply/demand, prices, weather, disease or tariffs.

The important thing to remember is don’t let the pressure and frustration you are feeling boil over onto your employees and family. They may not be feeling the same pressure you are, but they know what’s is going on and they are also worried about their job security and their homes. I’ve managed people for a number of years and I used to think that I was good at masking my stress from those around me.

I learned several years ago that my stress and frustration bleeds onto those around me, both at work and at home, and that is when mistakes and accidents happen, and relationships crumble.

A couple of tips to consider to help you keep the temperature under control: 1. It is easy to let a small thing blow out of proportion when you’re carrying a lot of stress. Make it a point to cool off over night and then talk to the employee the next day about whatever the issue was. You might realize the way they are doing a chore might not be how you would do it, but it still gets the job done.

2. Make it a point to notice hard work so that you are not always just pointing out what they are doing wrong.

3. Sometimes leveling with your employees and family about your financial situation is the best way to approach things.

You no longer feel like you are shouldering all of the load, and they may have some ideas that you didn’t think about for cutting costs or for selling something that isn’t being used.

By being included they take ownership in helping to find a solution and your operation ends up with a better team.

4. Get away from the farm for a few hours or a day if possible.

Take the family to church or sledding or volunteer somewhere.

We can all benefit from getting our problems off of our mind for a little while and it usually doesn’t take long to realize how fortunate you are when you see others with much less.

I’ve always found that the pressure is always the hottest until you have made the decision, from that point forward the pressure slowly releases.

We’ve been here before folks. Agriculture runs in cycles, and we are all used to good years and bad years. Maybe this stretch is a little longer than usual, but farmers and ranchers are survivors. You may have to make some tough decisions, but the life you chose isn’t an easy one and chances are your ancestors had some tough rows to hoe as well. e Kathy Daily is the Senior Vice President of First Financial Bank’s Farm and Ranch Division.

Natural Insecto Products

I

NSECTO is an insecticide alternative to chemical poison’s used for control of grain insects and house insects.

INSECTO has been registered with the USA Environmental Protection Agency since 1984 (EPA Reg. # 48598-1).

INSECTO is a formulation of a very refined (Micron average size 7) saltwater Diatomaceous Earth (DE) blended with several protein food products which act as baits. DE is the skeletal remains of plankton which feels similar to talcum powder, however when viewed under a microscope, one can see the sharp jagged edges on the DE which basically cuts up and breaks down insects waxy protective coatings. Also, the saltwater DE absorbs up to 175% of its weight in fluids compared to only 150% for freshwater DE. DE is allowed by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in Human and Animal food products up to 2% of weight; it is used as an AntiCaking agent in many food products.

INSECTO kills insects by cutting up the insects bodies, than absorbs their body fluids, which leads to their deaths by dehydration; a physical kill rather than a chemical kill. Insects don’t build up a resistance to INSECTO, unlike chemical pesticides. INSECTO is labeled with the EPA “For Organic Production” and is listed with the Organic Material Review Institute (OMRI).

INSECTO has been and is being used

by Bunge, Cargill, Consolidated Grain & Barge, ADM and other large companies for several decades, along with on farm storage by thousands for farmers

around the United States and Canada.

INSECTO has been exported to Japan, UAE, Israel, Jamaica, Brazil, Nicaragua, and several other countries.

INSECTO is now being used in Poultry Housing for control of Mites, Darkling Beetles, Lesser Mealworms and other insects which plague this industry. Insects in poultry houses are destroying the insulations as well as adversely affecting the health of the birds. INSECTO should be blown in at a rate up to 4 pounds per 1,000 square feet of surface area.

INSECTO was originally developed as an alternative to the chemical poisons which were in wide use in the 1970’s and 80’s, and has become one of the few registered insecticides on the market today. Control your insect problems today and in the future with INSECTO. e

LAFORGE Technology for Active Implement Guidance

T

he LAFORGE® Guided Hitch allows a semi-mounted (2-point) planter and applicator to follow the RTK guidance line with a high level of accuracy in flat fields and on hillsides.

The compact design allows for precision placement of seed and nutrients in separate passes. The hitch replaces the factory crossbar on John Deere’s planters, and adapters for other implements and nutrient applicators are available. In addition, the LAFORGE® Guided Hitch has been awarded an AE50 Award for 2017 as one of the significant innovations in Farm Equipment Technology. The hitch has been well received by the customers either using it or considering it for use with an Active Implement Guidance solution. Some of the positive feedback received has been: “This unit is clean looking and not complex” “I like the fact that the Hitch does not add length to my planter tongue and does not need the addition of extension hoses and harnesses” “The accuracy is amazing” “The unit is simple to install” “It will work with the PTO generator” In addition to the semi-mounted guided hitch LAFORGE has also developed an Implement adapter pivot and several implement attachments, allowing different types of drawbar pull implement to be adapted and guided with the LAFORGE® Guided Hitch.

About LAFORGE: LAFORGE SYSTEMS INC., Concord, CA was established in 1991 as a first step in a carefully planned expansion to be www.farmranchdairy.com

C & R Supply, Inc.

Birth of a Sprayer…the Family Expands

A

fter carefully listening to customers who were disappointed with the performance or lack of features in ATV sprayers available, C & R Supply set out to design a series, or family of sprayers to meet their needs.

The family began with the EZ ATV Sprayer which features a unique tank design that was created with input from customers and ATV manufacturers. Using this input, and keeping the operator in mind the EZ ATV Sprayer was designed for ease of operation, functional ability and safety. The design was a success! This unit has been in demand since 1998 and continues to hold a strong presence in the market today.

The EZ ATV Sprayer has a sleek design which brings the weight forward and more to a center of gravity for better machine balance. Allowing the legs of the tank to wrap around the fenders of the ATV gives the sprayers dual sumps maximum drainage and the ability to run on side hills without losing its prime.

The pump, strainer, and main

shut off are mounted underneath the tank in a protected cavity, which also serves as a dual slosh baffle. The top of the tank is designed with a fill catch area to prevent chemical from getting on the operator. The EZ Sprayer is fitted with a 4 gpm Shurflo Pump and a quality Tee-Jet trigger style handgun in the convenient control panel at your side. All brackets and boomless nozzle or boom accessories are attached to the tank for quick and easy mounting. The EZ ATV Sprayer has several different options and accessories to meet your needs.

As time went on customers began seeing a need in their operation for UTV’s. C & R Supply responded by expanding their family of sprayers. The UTV sprayer was born and it was named the C & R Slide In after its ability to be easily slid on and off the bed of the UTV as needed. The sprayer is mounted on a powder coated frame which allows the unit to be transferred as a single piece of equipment. This sprayer, like its elder sibling, was built with only the highest of quality components. The Slide In features a 60 gal tank, left and right electric controls with wiring harness, a Shurflo 4gm by pass pump, and Boominator nozzles which can spray a width of up to 30 feet. An 8 inch hand gun from Tee Jet with adjustable tip for hand spraying is also included. The Slide In sprayer has options and accessories available to meet the needs of your operation including a convenient retractable hose reel add on and additional boom options.

Economize on Equipment Costs with a New Kit from Fehr Cab Interiors Co.

A

s new tractors continue to be offered in the ag-market, the cost of new equipment has soared, and it can be hard to budget for upgrading to the latest and the greatest. By installing a new cab interior, it gives you the feeling of having an updated tractor for the next growing season while providing a higher resale value in the future when you do decide to update your equipment line. Trim your spending budget by making a low cost investment on a new cab interior to keep your equipment in the best of shape and looking like new. If the time does come to update or trade in, you want to get top dollar out of your trade in. By installing a Fehr Cab Interiors kit, it gives the purchaser the assurance that you cared about your tractor. By freshening up the cab, the value of the tractor can increase up to 15%.

If you have a tractor over 15 years old, the interior has started to show its age and is falling apart. The vinyl gets saggy, and the foam lining in the cab loses all acoustical properties and starts to harden and deteriorate. Fehr Cab has done testing to prove a significant difference in decibels when comparing new and old acoustical foam panels. By replacing the acoustical foam, it silences the high pitched sound decibels that cause damage to your hearing.

Fehr Cab is excited to introduce the “Anyone Can Install� cab

kits to their ever-expanding product line. The John Deere 2 wheel drive 30, 40, 50, 55/60 series Sound Guard cabs are available finished onto pre-formed plastic for much easier installation!

Also, for the sound guard cabs, the replacement plastic fender fronts and air vent bezels are now available. The IH 86 & IH-88 headliners are also available as a pre-formed “Anyone Can Install� new kit. These new panels will save you up to 4 hours in installation time and you will no longer have the nuisance of having wrinkles develop and adhesive drying too quickly.

Most farmers can install these parts into his or her tractor, using Fehr Cab do-it-yourself kits for over 700 different model cabs.

Fehr Cab kits are available with pre-cut, pre-sewn, pre-formed panels and complete instructions and whatever is necessary to install kits. Fehr Cab strives to replicate the original vinyl, foam thickness, quality custom fit and overall appearance in all interiors offered. The new interior kits make the cab atmosphere so much more pleasant, clean, and quiet. Fehr Cab installs these interior kits in local customers’ cabs to insure that each part fits and every kit is easy to install. To see how easy our kits are to install, check out our “installation videos� at www.fehrcab.com. Quality materials and superior service is what makes a Fehr Cab kit the best value.

exas Animal Health Commission (TAHC) confirmed Equine Infectious Anemia (EIA) in nine racing Quarter Horses located on a Smith County premises on January 31, 2019.

Through subsequent testing, seven of the EIA positive horses and one additional horse on the property were confirmed positive for a secondary infectious disease, Equine Piroplasmosis (EP).

The Smith County premises remains in compliance with TAHC rules which require owners to maintain EIA and EP exposed horses in a quarantine zone of no less than 200 yards from unexposed equine and retest exposed animals until cleared. Permanent quarantine and treatment are available options for EP positive horses while EIA positive cases must remain quarantined for the life of the animal.

EIA is an incurable, infectious viral disease spread through blood-to-blood contact, not through close proximity or casual contact.

The virus can be transmitted from an infected equine to a “clean� equine by biting flies, the use of unsterilized or contaminated medical instruments, or through a blood transfusion. The most common clinical sign of acute EIA is fever, which often precedes the development of other signs. In chronic cases, symptoms such as weight loss, weakness, anemia and swelling of the lower legs, chest and abdomen may occur. For more information on EIA please visit: www.tahc.texas.gov/news/brochures/TAHCBrochure_EIA.pdf EP is a blood-borne protozoal disease that affects horses, donkeys, mules and zebras. EP is currently not considered endemic in Texas or the U.S.; however, isolated outbreaks of the disease have occurred. Like EIA, EP can also be spread directly between animals by transfusions and blood-contaminated instruments such as needles. Cases of EP can be mild or acute. Symptoms of acutely affected equine include fever, anemia, jaundiced mucous membranes, swollen abdomens, and labored breathing.

“Catcher” Makes Calf Work Easier

I

f you own an ATV or UTV and have cattle, Dan Leo has an attachment to make working with young calves safer and easier.

“Safety is the number one goal of our durably built and user-friendly catchers,” says Leo, president of Safety Zone Calf Catchers. “The traditional way to tag and process calves can be dangerous and often takes more than one person to do the job. With our calf catcher it’s easier on the producer, the cow and the calf. One person, who can operate an ATV or UTV, can safely work calves.”

The calf catcher is a durably constructed steel cage that mounts with ball hitches on the front and back. It works well in all types of terrains and conditions. With the front gate locked open, the driver approaches the calf and captures it in the cage by shutting the spring-loaded gate.

The producer enters the pen through the open side by stepping from the ATV or UTV and moves the calf to the rear holding area where he can tag, vaccinate, weigh and even band the babies while protected from the mother cow.

When finished the producer releases the calf out the back to its mother.

“Traditionally, producers have to get to the calves early after birth otherwise it can be difficult to catch and even hang on to them, and then it can require two or more people depending on the protective behavior of the mother cow while the processing takes place,” Leo

30 • Western Farm, Ranch and Dairy

notes. “With our calf catcher unit, one person can catch calves, even if they are a week or older when they have plenty of run in them. Another benefit is the calf holder located at the back of

the catcher. It not only secures the calf for processing, but works very well for pairing out, as the cow can see and smell her baby and will then easily follow to another pasture or calving barn in inclement weather. Cows will follow the calf virtually anywhere!”

The ATV catchers sell for $2,095 plus freight shipping. Catchers designed for UTVs are an additional $450. Other options available include a waterproof,

Rawhide Portable Corral to blend the Old with the New

J

ohn McDonald knows a thing or two about livestock equipment after working with cattle and rodeo livestock most of his life.

Knowing there had to be a better portable corral design out there; he came up with it himself.

In 2003 the public was introduced to his original Rawhide Portable Corral.

It could be set up by one person without any lifting and it could be done quickly; yet it could also be pulled down the road at highway speeds, ensuring that no time would be wasted while catching cattle.

Fast forward to 2018 and now customers have two different corrals to choose from; the Rawhide Original, throwback to the first design, or the Rawhide Processor.

Even though the Processor’s design is viewed as the superior portable corral on the market, John believes that there are still those who will want a smaller, more affordable system.

Enter the Rawhide Original, which is a

blend between the two designs he has offered throughout the years and has a bumper hitch with permanent transport wheels. The Original is only offered in the Standard and Large sizes.

The Processor is offered in three

sizes for the convenience of ranchers and cattle producers throughout the world and the main difference with this design is the ability to customize the corral upon ordering by including a hydraulic alley, head gate or loading chute. Whether you simply want to catch your cattle or process them on site and load them into a trailer from the pasture, you are able to do so with the Processor.

The design of the Processor continues to impress cattle producers with its versatility and ease of use. The permanent sheeted adjustable alley aids with working your livestock, whether it is done on site or in the field. The adjustable alley can be sized from thirty (30) inches down to sixteen (16) inches; either manually or hydraulically.

The most notable features of the Rawhide corrals are that they are easy to set up and they are easy to transport. We mean it when we say that one person can open up the corral without lifting a panel. This will continue to be the model as we move forward with our newer designs.

The key is one person can handle it all by themselves. Customers can manipulate the panels so it is not just one big pen, but two, three or even four pens for sorting, as one can never have enough pens when it comes to working cattle.

John’s design was the first portable corral on the market to offer the hydraulic lift option. This has been so popular that we now offer customers the option to buy the Hydraulic Lift Kit with or without the battery so that they may upgrade existing equipment of their own. A lift kit includes the jack, power unit, solar panel and of course the option of including a battery at time of purchase.

John and his wife Mary run the family business at their manufacturing plant in Abilene, Kansas, which is the only place where a Rawhide may be purchased outside of South Texas, where we now have a dealer in Hempstead.

Cotran Corporation Is Introducing A New Concept Of Baby Animal Nursing Bottles And Nipples

C

otran Corporation is introducing a new line of nursing bottles that are ergonomically designed for ease of handling. Round shape allows easier and faster cleaning compared to square bottles. Bottles are available in 2, 3, and 4 quarts and are made from high-density polyethylene.

a membrane insert and hole at the tip of the nipple that prevents tearing and controls milk flow. Only the sucking motion of the calf will allow milk to flow. In addition to red and pink nipples, a clear nipple is available which allows the user to see the flow of milk and helps with the cleaning of the nipple.

The line will also include a newly designed nursing bucket. The BESS Bucket has a 5-qt capacity which makes it lighter and easier to handle. A unique step design makes accurate measuring highly visible.

It is used with the same no-leak nipple and insert as the BESS screw-on bottles.

Available for Snap-on or Screw-on nipples. Newly developed bottle holder fits all three sizes. A swing arm clips firmly around the waist of the bottle eliminating knockouts.

BESS bottles are accompanied by new no-leak long lasting nipples. These innovative nipples made from high quality synthetic rubber are fitted with a patent-pending system incorporating

“The goal is to offer a complete line of nursing bottles with improved ergonomics. Especially people with smaller hands will appreciate the design of the BESS bottles. The new design makes leaking nipples finally a thing of the past and in addition customers will be able to control flow by choosing the size of the hole” says Bertrand Dumont, President at Cotran Corporation.

Blood-Based Pregnancy ChecksBioPRYN Your Herd!

O

ver thirty years ago Dr. Garth Sasser was a professor of Animal Science at the University of Idaho. In his research he discovered a pregnancy specific protein in the maternal bloodstream of ruminant animals that is only elevated when that animal is pregnant. He developed a test called BioPRYN (Pregnant-Ruminant-Yes-No) that measures the concentration of this protein in blood and can provide an extremely accurate determination of pregnancy status in cattle, goats, sheep, bison and other ruminant animals very early in gestation (28 days post breeding).

A growing number of dairy and beef producers and their veterinarians are utilizing blood-based pregnancy testing in unique ways to complement traditional pregnancy detection methods and because BioPRYN is a proven, convenient, accurate and cost-effective way to check your animals for pregnancy that eliminates subjectivity.

Some progressive producers that are using embryo transfer or synchronization protocols with artificial insemination will use BioPRYN as an early "open check� at 28 days post breeding to identify if the animal needs to be reintroduced to the synchronization program. Other producers and their veterinarians will use a BioPRYN check to supplement monthly or biweekly herd health checks to identify those open cows as early as possible and to avoid the entire herd being locked up for extended amounts of time on pregnancy-check day. BioPRYN is also a useful tool for a reconfirmation pregnancy check later in gestation to identify the small percentage of cows that will experience embryonic loss and not carry to term.

The process consists of drawing a small blood sample, usually from the tail vein, and delivering or sending samples to one of the 45 BioPRYN Affiliate Labs that have been trained and certified to provide consistent and accurate results so that you can trust the results and manage your animals accordingly.

For blood collection supplies and more information about BioPRYN and the BioPRYN Affiliate Lab network please visit biopryn.com or call 208.882.9736. e www.farmranchdairy.com

Frosty Berseem Clover: A Cold-Tolerant Cover Crop & Forage Option

Y

ou’ve probably heard about Frosty Berseem Clover (Trifolium Alexandrinum), the first cold-tolerant berseem clover. In early testing, Frosty withstood lows of 5° F without snow cover, thus earning its “frosty” claim to fame. It combines the best of berseem clover’s Mediterranean genetics and adds a later maturity, cold tolerance, productivity, and nutritional forage value.

Frosty offers planting flexibility. Because of its quick establishment, Frosty can be incorporated into a cover cropping rotation to help suppress weeds. It can be underseeded in small grains in the spring because of its frost tolerance, and it can be used in a mixture for interseeding into standing row crops in summer or fall. Speaking of fall, Frosty will grow deeper into the fall than regular berseem.

With the potential for four tons of dry matter per acre in a two-cut system and a crude protein content of up to 21.5 percent, Frosty also is an excellent non-bloating option for direct grazing livestock. Another obvious appeal for a legume like Frosty is, of course, nitrogen fixation. Trials at Penn State showed that Frosty Berseem Clover fixed up to 150 pounds of nitrogen per acre.

Frosty is growing in popularity as an alfalfa-boosting companion. In fact, Frosty shares alfalfa’s dry-down characteristics, remaining green for forage or hay. To make the most of Frosty’s companionability with alfalfa, plant using a seed mixture ratio of 80 percent alfalfa to 20 percent Frosty; however, thanks to Frosty’s cold tolerance, you can frost seed it directly on frozen ground before planting alfalfa. Frost seeding gives Frosty a headstart for rapid establishment in spots where alfalfa has winter killed.

Frosty prefers slightly alkaline loam alkaline, or “basic,” soils, which is perfect for the western U.S., but really loves silty to medium-loam soils. It also produces more biomass than crimson clover on heavy soils. When planting with a drill, use a depth of ¼ inch at a rate of 15 pounds per acre for monoculture and about six pounds per acre in mixes.

As a berseem clover, Frosty has a low hard-seed count, which means you’re not likely to get overrun by unwanted Frosty, and you would need to replant for future plantings.
