Did you know...

The 2019 Community Newspaper Readership Survey shows that respondents trusted community newspapers above National network TV news, Cable TV news and Talk radio. Trust in community newspapers was more than double that of Facebook or Twitter.

Also, given that hundreds of millions of dollars will be spent by the political parties for the national election this year to disperse information that wil be questionable at best, the importance of community newspapers will be greater than ever.

79% of respondents agree community newspapers provide

valuable local shopping and advertising information.

Further, 24% of respondents rate community newspapers as their go-to source for local purchasing decisions, beating out all other media: • Social Media: 17% • Direct mailings: 14% • In store promotions: 12% • Local TV stations: 10% • Radio ads: 4% • Cable TV ads: 2% If you want to reach more consumers, why not use the most trusted media in the country today?!

by Krishna Ramanujan Dean and Betsy Brightly of Brightly Farms, a 2,000-acre family farm in Hamlin, expect federal food safety inspectors to pay them a visit this year.

All farms that meet market and income requirements, and that grow fruits and vegetables commonly eaten raw, are now required to comply with a new set of regulations aimed at keeping fresh fruits and vegetables free of microbial contamination from such pathogens as Listeria and Salmonella.

That’s not easy. The rule book is exceedingly complex, and understanding exactly what is needed to make one’s farm compliant is a daunting task.

Thankfully, Cornell Cooperative Extension (CCE) agents can make sure farmers understand what updates their farms may require.

Trained CCE extension agents teamed with New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets (NYSDAM) personnel across the state offer free and confidential on-farm readiness reviews.

Agents walk through a farm and provide a holistic assessment to ensure that farmers can meet the new standards.

“If you’re looking at this large document with tiny writing without anyone explaining how it would fit your operation and your environment, it can be overwhelming,” said Caroline BoutardHunt, an agricultural educator at CCE’s Yates County office.

The Food and Drug Administration’s new Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) Produce Safety Rule establishes, for the first time, science-based minimum standards for the safe growing, harvesting, packing, and holding of fruits and vegetables grown for human consumption, according to the FDA website. Previous guidelines were voluntary.

The rule covers a wide range of areas, including worker health and hygiene, worker training, agricultural water sources and irrigation practices, biological soil amendments of animal origin, post-harvest handling and sanitation, and potential contamination by farm animals and wildlife.

“These are the first federal regulations in our country regarding produce safety,” Boutard-Hunt said. “The goal of the Produce Safety Rule is to prevent outbreaks of microbial pathogens on food.

This is a really important step to keep people safe.”

Though the rules went into effect in 2016, inspections began on a rolling basis in 2018, depending on a farm’s size.

For Brightly Farms, inspections begin this year for their 300 acres of cabbage and 80 acres of orchard apples, both of which qualify as produce commonly consumed raw.

Brightly Farms was already mostly up to speed, as Dean and Betsy undergo Global Good Agricultural Practice audits, commonly called Global GAPs.

Boutard-Hunt, along with an inspector from NYSDAM, visited them last fall for a free “On-Farm Readiness Review” to help answer questions and look at how to best ensure their current food-safety practices align to the new federal standards.

During the walkthrough, for example, the team pointed out a seam between two types of materials on an assembly line for processing cabbage that gathered organic matter and was difficult to keep clean.

“We had done a lot of the big things already,” Betsy Brightly said, noting they had fitted most of the cabbage line with seamless aluminum plates, for instance.

“Pointing out those little things, that’s useful.”

Appropriate measures can vary from farm to farm. For example, New York state strawberries tend to be a perennial crop, but in Florida or California strawberries are annuals that are pulled out after the fruit is picked and new plants are sown the next season.

“Production practices aren’t always the same state to state or region to region,” said Elizabeth Bihn, director of the Produce Safety Alliance, a collaboration between Cornell, the FDA, and the USDA, which trains growers about the FSMA Produce Safety Rule requirements. “Now consider the variation in growing practices for the 300 other commodities that we grow in this country,” Bihn said. “So when we talk about helping growers implement practices, it is almost impossible for anyone to sit in their office on the phone with a grower and say here’s exactly what you’re supposed to do. The practices need

to be tailored to each farm.”

Additionally, food safety can have real costs on a farm. On top of the increased hours required for recordkeeping, there is added sanitation, monitoring, and, when necessary, upgrades to buildings and equipment. The Brightlys purchased a second $30,000 forklift, giving them one for indoors and one for outdoors, to prevent contamination from outside dirt and germs on the wheels from getting inside. Some farms build in other measures to keep the indoor areas clean, such as sanitized floor pads, though sanitation fluids can erode flooring. Farmers must absorb these costs on top of the rising price of labor, new overtime pay rules, and insurance policies.

“You have increased costs for pretty much everything,” Betsy Brightly said, “and you’re still not getting more for your product.

On the other hand, an outbreak of Listeria or Salmonella on a farm would be devastating.

“It’s important we work on this,” Boutard-Hunt said, “not just to keep people safe, but to help our farmers.”

Economic repercussions of a foodborne outbreak can last for months or even longer if consumers change their buying habits to avoid a recalled food.

“Farmers work hard to grow nutritious and marketable food, and it’s important to balance acknowledging their obvious care about their product with educating them on ways they can adjust their practices to reduce risk of contamination,” she added.

by Joe Reinschmidt Sometimes silos are used for advertising or promoting a product, or to announce a special event. Such is the case with the silo shown in this picture. Our daughter Regina and her husband, Don, celebrated the birth of their son at a Syracuse hospital. Not long after that, Don climbed up the old silo that stands on their property and painted a note telling all that would see it of their joyful event.

That was almost 21 years ago, and although the silo lost much of its original white coating, the words “IT’S A BOY” painted in John Deere green are still visible. The baby was named Cecil and had a normal childhood. It soon became apparent that he favored music over other activities and was encouraged in that by his parents, who enrolled him for private piano lessons. Early on, he developed an attraction to the sound of the bassoon.

At Marcellus Central School, they didn’t have a bassoon for the middle school, so he played clarinet for a year.

After that, he played bassoon in the Marcellus Central school band and filled in on percussion when their percussionist was absent.

In his senior year of high school, he was pursuing admission to music programs at several colleges. He was invited to audition with the bassoon at Syracuse College of Visual and Performing Arts. That audition resulted in him receiving a full-tuition scholarship to SU, where he is now nearing the end of his studies for a degree in Sound Recording Technology.

However, along the way, he has played snare drum in the Drum Line and the Marching Band. He is now proficient in playing the stand-up bass, electric bass guitar, and any keyboard instrument from the accordion to the organ. Cecil’s musical ability is not limited to instruments. He sings in several choral groups, including the Hendricks Chapel Choir and the SU Concert Choir.

We have had the pleasure of seeing and hearing him in many concert programs.

Needless to say, this silo is indeed special to our family and us.
