PORTSMOUTH, RI — 4-H standsfor Head, Heart, Hands and Health.4-H Clubs were set up by the U.S.Department of Agriculture to trainstudents in agriculture and raisinganimals. The goal was to connecteducation to farming while encourag-ing a sense of community and per-sonal responsibility. These programshave expanded to include overallnutrition and well-being. Many 4-HClubs still help raise and sell live-stock.

The Eastern Rhode Island 4-HCountry Fair is held annually at GlenPark in Portsmouth, RI, on the thirdweekend in July. The mission is toraise funds for 4-H Club scholar-ships and to give the 4-H’ers a venuefor competition and public outreach.

To compete in the 4-H DairyContest, 4-H’ers started working withyoung heifers and registered for theDiary Competition by May 1. LouisEscobar of Highland Farms saidnearly 20 4-H’ers made regular visitsto his farm earlier this season, work-ing with the farm’s heifers and prac-ticing walking and working together.4-H’ers also learned how to wash andgroom their animals.

Seven Rhode Island farms worked

with students and supplying dairyand beef cattle for the 4-H Fair. Theparticipating farms included EscobarHighland Farm, Soares Dairy Farm,Little Acres, Cottrell HomesteadDairy Farm, Emma Acres and more.All delivered their animals to the fair-grounds Friday afternoon before thefair officially opened. StateVeterinarians or Health Inspectorsreviewed all required rabies vaccina-tion papers and vet inspection certifi-cations for Foot-Rot, Mange, Pinkeye,Ringworm, Warts, CowpoxTuberculosis and Brucellosis beforelivestock could be unloaded.

For handler and audience safety,horned livestock are never allowed atfairs, except for working steers,Hereford heifers, Scottish Highlanderheifers, Texas Longhorn heifers anddairy heifers under 5 months old. Nobeef class steers are allowed withhorns. Animals must be under con-trol at all times; animals that presenta danger or are unmanageable couldbe disqualified at any time.

Farmers were advised to isolate allanimals upon their return to thefarm after exhibition to watch themfor signs of any potential diseaseexposure.

Sam Averill is the ninth generationto operate a historic 250-acreWashington Depot, CT, farm that’sbeen in the family since 1746. Sam’sfather sold apples by the bushel orhalf-bushel directly from the fieldwhile his mother sold them from astand in front of the house. When Samand his wife Susan took over the farmin 1993, they knew they wanted toconstruct a farm stand.

“Everyone told us it should be nearthe road,” said Susan. “But we wereused to being up in the field where theview is fantastic. We decided to take achance on that location.”

It was worth the risk. The farmstand sits on a knoll in the middle of afield with outstanding views in alldirections. Susan says that customersenjoy the drive up a long, dirt drive-way, then seeing the farm stand andthe trees when they arrive. Sam andSusan continued to develop the PYOstarted by Sam’s father in 1965, andadded related products, such as cider.But when regulations for making andselling cider in Connecticut changed,the Averills had to come up with analternative to satisfy their loyal cus-tomers.

“We used to take our apples to anearby cider mill,” said Susan, “butnew state regulations required cider tobe made and sold on site.” Susan saysthat for a while, they offered pasteur-ized cider from another orchard, butcustomers were disappointed with theflavor. “We were disappointed too,” shesaid. “We weren’t selling the kind ofproduct we like.”

Since the Averills were planning toadd a commercial kitchen to their farmstand, they included a cider-makingroom in the plans. They purchased arack and cloth press from a nearbyorchard and were back in the ciderbusiness. “We started making cider theway we like it,” said Susan, addingthat they only use fruit that’s pickedfrom trees then washed. “We can sell itdirectly from farm and at farmers’

markets, and it’s labeled that it isn’tpasteurized.”

Cider is a good fit with a PYO appleorchard. Customers pick about 90 per-cent of the apples, and those thataren’t picked are used for cider. Toensure that PYO customers pick onlyapples that can be reached easily fromthe ground, the Averills keep the treeswell-pruned and have an employeewho picks ahead of where customerswill be picking. “We try to pick onlywhat’s ready,” said Susan. “That canbe challenging, but we try to stick to itbecause then our apples taste good. Ifsomeone picks a Macoun at the end ofAugust and it isn’t ready until the mid-dle of September, it isn’t going to tasteas good.”

When customers arrive at the farm,they check a large board at the farmstand that lists varieties ready forpicking along with row identificationfor each variety. Susan says that manycustomers use their cell phones totake a snapshot of the board for refer-ence in the field. “Because we’re small,we talk with everyone who comes andtell them what’s what,” said Susan. “Ifthey ask for something that isn’tready, we let them know when it willbe ready. People are going crazy forHoneycrisp, but those trees are youngand we don’t have a huge supply. A lotof people come in October for winterapples such as Idared and Crispin(Mutsu).”

Realizing the importance of main-taining a connection with their cus-tomers prior to the PYO season, theAverills set up at two farmers’ marketsand sell homemade jams, jellies andthe farm’s signature product: home-made apple cider donuts.

“We can forge a relationship with thecustomer,” said Susan, “and it’s won-derful to have something else to sell ifthere’s a bad apple crop. It keeps peo-ple coming early and late in the sea-son.” Susan says on busy fall week-ends, the farm kitchen’s two donutmakers are running constantly.

“Between using our own cider and

only selling donutsthe day they’remade, we’vebecome locallyfamous. We likethe fact that peoplehave to come toour farm or farm-ers’ market to getthem. We havegreater controlover the productthat way.” Eachseason, the Averillsfreeze cider so thatthere’s plenty forlate-season donutsand before the PYOseason begins.

Averill Farmgrows about 100apple varieties; 20of which are PYO.Susan says theyaren’t following thetrend toward densetrellis plantings forseveral reasons.“We have plenty ofland,” she said.“We’re doing newplantings on dwarfrootstock with astake rather than wire trellis so thatcustomers can walk around the treeseasily. Making it a nice experience forour customers is definitely mostimportant.”

In addition to apples, the Averillsgrow a variety of pears for PYO. A pres-sure tester on pears helps determineoptimum picking time. Pears areoffered as PYO only until they’re tooripe — remaining pears go into coldstorage. Averill Farm supports otherlocal farms through purchasing fallfavorites such as mums, pumpkins,gourds, squash, garlic, maple prod-ucts and potatoes for sale at their farmstand. They also grow several acres ofChristmas trees, which are offered aschoose and cut.

The farm features several special

events each season including localauthors and book signings. “We’re verylow key,” said Susan. “We don’t have alot going on, just a few special events.“A friend brings alpacas on Sundays inOctober, and someone brings goatsmilk soap on Saturdays.” At the begin-ning of the apple-picking season,Connecticut chef and author EmilyBrooks will be at the farm, and TractorMac author Billy Steers will be there inlate September.

“We like to be hands-on and we liketo meet the customers,” said Susan,adding that Sam likes to take care ofthe trees himself. “It’s changed a lotsince we took over from his parents —it’s supporting us. We’re happy withwhere we are now.”

Recently, the Board ofDirectors of MilkProducers Council (MPC)voted to endorse legisla-tion unveiled byCongressman CollinPeterson (D-Minnesota),which would implementreforms to our nationaldairy policies and isbased on National MilkProducers Federation’s(NMPF) “Foundation forthe Future” proposal.The “discussion draft” ofthe legislation, alongwith a detailed summaryof the bill, can be foundat: http://democrats.agriculture.house.gov/press/PRArticle.aspx?NewsID=1118.

“With this vote, theMPC Board sent a strongmessage that it’s time fordairy farmers fromcoast-to-coast to rallybehind a common plan,”said MPC PresidentSybrand Vander Dussen,a dairyman fromCorona, CA. “We have arare opportunity to getmuch-needed funda-mental improvements forthe producer side of ourindustry, and Rep.

Peterson’s legislation isthe only shot we have atgetting those positivereforms approved byCongress and imple-mented.”

The legislative draftreleased by Peterson,who is the RankingDemocrat on the U.S.House of Represent-ative’s AgricultureCommittee, includes thethree main pieces out-lined in NMPF’sFoundation for theFuture:

• Dairy MarketStabilization Program(DMSP)

• Dairy ProducerMargin ProtectionProgram (DPMPP)

• Reform of FederalMilk Marketing Orders

Prior to endorsingFoundation for theFuture, the MPC Boardhad the opportunity toreview CongressmanPeterson’s draft of thelegislation, whichincludes some modifica-tions from the originalplan outlined by NMPF.These changes weremade in an effort to

make the legislationmore appealing to aCongress that is clearlyin a serious cost-cuttingmode.

“While we’d probablyall prefer to operate in aworld whereCongressional budgetconstraints don’t exist,the fact is that they do,and these changes arepart of that reality,” saidRob Vandenheuvel,MPC’s General Manager.“At the end of the day,the structure of the leg-islation remains intact,with a standby, rarely-used MarketStabilization tool thatwill empower dairy farm-ers to collectivelyrespond to marketimbalances while notimpeding our ability togrow the industry long-term, a dramaticallyimproved safety net thattreats all dairies thesame and fundamentalreforms of FederalOrders. This is a pack-age of reforms that theMPC Board is proud tosupport.”

The International

Dairy Foods Association(IDFA) — the main lob-bying organization forthe nation’s dairy prod-uct processing compa-nies that purchase amajority of the nation’smilk supply — has comeout strongly against thislegislation. They aimmost of their oppositionat the Dairy MarketStabilization Programthat could temporarilytrigger in when neededand empower thenation’s roughly 60,000dairy farmers to collec-tively respond to marketimbalances. IDFA iscounting on dairy farm-ers doing what we oftendo: letting regional orsize differences get in theway of unifying behind acommon plan.

“I’ve often said that ifyou put 10 dairymen ina room, you’ll get 12opinions, and they’re allfirm,” said VanderDussen. “We’ve had thatluxury in the past. Butthe last 2 1/2 years havetaught us a valuable les-son — we have a woeful-ly inadequate systemthat leaves our nation’sdairy farmers powerlessin this highly volatilemarket. As dairy farm-ers, we need to put asideperceived differencesand act as one unifiedindustry.”

“This legislation willhave things that produc-ers like and things theydon’t,” saidVandenheuvel. “In anindustry with farmers inevery region and of everysize, that type of compre-hensive package is theonly chance we have ofunifying our industry.It’s time to showCongress and theprocessors that buy ourmilk that dairy farmersare capable of workingtogether to improve thelives of all dairies fromcoast-to-coast.”

BackgroundThe three pieces of

Rep. Peterson’s legisla-tion are:

• Dairy MarketStabilization Program(DMSP) — This is astand-by program thattriggers in only when the“margin” (U.S. all-milkprice minus feed costcalculation) dips below$6 per cwt for two con-secutive months. TheDMSP provides a tempo-rary incentive for alldairies to cut back milkproduction. Once mar-kets recover and the“margin” is greater than$6 per cwt for two con-secutive months, theDMSP is lifted, and is onstandby again until thenext time the margin cal-

culation compressesbelow $6 per cwt.

• Dairy ProducerMargin ProtectionProgram (DPMPP) —This is a safety net pro-gram that would replacethe Milk Income LossContract (MILC) andDairy Product PriceSupport Program(DPPSP). The DPMPPwould provide “marginprotection” for all dairieswhen the margin (again,U.S. all-milk price minusfeed cost calculation)dips below $4 per cwt.Individual dairies canelect to increase their“margin protection”above $4 per cwt. for apre-determined annualpremium (this is calledthe “supplemental mar-gin protection”).

• Reform of FederalMilk Marketing Orders(FMMO) — In short,these reforms wouldremove end-productpricing and the use ofmake allowances formilk sold to all plantsother than Class I bot-tling plants, and replaceit with a competitive,market-based system.

More information canbe found on NationalMilk ProducersFederation’s Web site atwww.futurefordairy.com.

This is the time of year that sponta-neous combustion in hay causes fires.This occurs when freshly cut hay is toomoist when it’s baled.

How do hay fires happen?Here’s the simple, short explanation.

All bales heat up from respiration inthe plant cells, which continues at alow rate if hay is baled at less than 15to 20 percent moisture. This heatingup process eventually ends withoutcausing combustion.

However, if the moisture level is toohigh (over 20 percent), the heat fromrespiration combined with the mois-ture promotes bacterial and moldgrowth. The respiration of the bacteriaand mold releases more heat into thebale, increasing risk of fire.

The temperature of hay, especially ifit was baled at a high moisture con-centration, needs to be checked twicea day for six weeks after baling. Youcan make a simple temperature probeusing a three-quarter-inch diameterpipe.

Drill eight holes, each about three-sixteenth inch, around the diameter ofthe pipe about three inches from oneend. Then hammer the sides of thatend together to form a sharp edge.

Always check the temperature in thecenter of the stacked hay. Do not walkdirectly on the stacked hay as pocketsmay have already burned out underthe hay surface. Instead, place boardsor a ladder on the hay and walk onthose.

Drive the probe from the top of thestack into the inner-most bales. Lowera thermometer to the end of the probe

with a piece of light wire. After 10 to 15minutes, pull the thermometer outand read the temperature.

George Cook, University of VermontExtension farm safety specialist, rec-ommends inserting a small wad ofsheep’s wool into the upper end of thepipe, then ramming that down to theend of the pipe prior to lowering thethermometer. It cushions the bottomand lowers the risk of breaking yourthermometer.

As a rule of thumb, if the tempera-ture is less than 130 degrees F, con-tinue monitoring the temperaturetwice a day. If it falls between 130 and140 degrees F, the temperature may goup or down. Recheck in a few hours.

If the temperature is 150 degrees F,the temperature will most likely con-tinue to climb. Move the bales to pro-mote air circulation and cooling. If thehay is stored inside, evacuate any live-stock to a safe area and remove hayfrom the building. Monitor the temper-ature every two hours.

Fire is imminent if interior bale tem-peratures exceed 175 degrees F. Fire ispresent at temperatures greater than200 degrees F. In either situation, callthe fire department immediately.Continue probing and monitoring thetemperature.

Other symptoms of hot hay or aninternal hay fire include a slightcaramel or strong burning odor, visi-ble vapor or smoke, a strong mustysmell and/or hay that feels hot to thetouch. If any of these symptoms occur,again, call the fire department imme-diately.

Let firefighters take control of thesituation once they arrive. Do notmove hay if signs of fire are present.

Moving hay exposes the overheated orsmoldering hay to oxygen and maycause the fire to burn uncontrollably.

I personally have experienced twofires on our farm so I know how dev-astating this can be to farmers. Thefirst, a barn fire of unknown origin in2001, changed our lives completely.

We are no longer dairying although wecontinue to make dry hay, both largeand small square bales, for sale toother farmers.

Don’t think that it can’t happen onyour farm. It can, unless you takesteps to prevent spontaneous combus-tion in newly cut, baled hay.

Monitoring bales can stophay fires before they start

As a rule of thumb, if the temperature is less than 130° F, continue monitoring thetemperature twice a day. If it falls between 130 and 140° F, the temperature maygo up or down. Recheck in a few hours.

4-H’ers provided feed for their animals; beddingwas provided by show managers. 4-H’ers had toremain with their animals or arrange for animalsupervision during all Fair hours. Night watchmenescorted everyone off fair grounds each night ascamping was not allowed at this Fair.

Rhode Island Law does not allow the public toenter animal stalls or to touch livestock and birds tolimit the spread of disease.

All participants had to work on and show theirown animals or risk disqualification. When a 4-Hmember entered multiple animals (owned or man-aged), show rules allowed another 4-H’er to showalternate animals. Parents, leaders and former 4-H’ers were only allowed to guide and instruct 4-H’ersand not assist in grooming or showing.

Standard 4-H show clothing was recommended:livestock exhibitors wore white or khaki pants orskirts with white collared shirts. No brief shorts orclothing advertising a farm or breed were allowed.Leather work shoes or boots were required at alltimes to reduce the chance of injury from animals.

The Danish Group Award System is used in all 4-H Competitions because all participants who reachthe standard level of excellence are awarded recog-nition (blue, red or white ribbons). Youth competeagainst their personal records and no one is left out.

What it takes from A2

Michael Small heads for the show ring with a heifer from Escobar’sHighland Farm in Portsmouth, RI.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — NationalFarmers Union (NFU) led a coalition oforganizations in sending a letter toPresident Obama and leadership inthe U.S. Senate and U.S. House ofRepresentatives urging them to reacha timely resolution to the debt ceilingnegotiations.

“As organizations that have a stakein agriculture and a robust rural econ-omy, we urge a timely resolution to theongoing debt ceiling negotiations,” theletter stated. “A long-term, compre-hensive solution that reduces federaldeficits must be found. Such an agree-ment will also establish budget cer-tainty for all federal policies, includingupcoming farm bill negotiations.”

NFU President Roger Johnson saidthat agriculture has already taken a$6 billion reduction in its budget andis willing to do its share, but that fur-ther cuts should be overseen byauthorizing committees in the Houseand Senate.

“The Senate and House AgricultureCommittees must be allowed to deter-mine how any further budget reduc-tions are made,” said Johnson. “Thesecommittees have the expertise to bestevaluate specific programs and toinclude any changes in the 2012 FarmBill in a manner that does not disruptlong-term commitments reflected incurrent farm legislation.”

Corn futuresGrain supplies and

costs continue to plaguelivestock people. Weneed to remind ourselvesthat ruminant digestivesystems are designed toprocess roughages first,then grains second… adistant second. I dug upprices for commoditygrains on the ChicagoBoard of Trade (Septem-ber futures), convertedfrom bushels to tons. Asof July 26, these are theprices per ton which Iconsider most relevantto dairy farmers. Under-stand that these areChicago prices, but thattheir relative costs giveproducers useful infor-mation for feeding man-agement decisions. Soy-bean oil meal at $362,

soybeans at $457,shelled corn at $244,and wheat at $231.

However, there arethree major unknowns,for future grain pricesthat would affect dairy-men. First, will China goon a major grain buyingbinge like it did earlierthis year? Chinese pow-ers-that-be say theyhave achieved theirsought-after grain re-serves and are able tomaintain them at de-sired equilibrium withtheir own anticipated do-mestic grain harvest,particularly corn... butthat situation couldchange overnight.

Secondly, just howoverly optimistic areUSDA grain yield fore-casts? Official, albeit un-

warranted, hints at im-pending bumper cropstend to keep current andfuture commodity priceslower than they shouldbe. In reality, USDA’sAgricultural ResearchService showed somepretty dismal starts forspring plantings, andeven some pretty miser-able over-wintering sce-narios for fall-plantedsmall grains. Most re-cently, government cropforecasters seem to ig-nore the massive de-struction wrought byMissouri River floods onhundreds of thousandsof Midwest crop acres.

Thirdly, there’s corn-based ethanol, a variablewhich is very much up inthe air. An excellent arti-cle in the June 25 issue

of The Economist, aBritish weekly, was titled“Fiscal sobriety: A bipar-tisan vote to end ethanolsubsidies is a small butheartening sign”. Since2004, blenders have re-ceived a credit, nowworth 45 cents, for eachgallon of ethanol theymix with regular gaso-line. This benefit reachesfarmers… as well as themany non-farm mem-bers of the various cornlobby groups (such asArcher Daniels Midland).Also, a 54 cent tariff onimports keeps outethanol made morecheaply from Braziliansugar cane. Finally, onJune 16, U.S. senatorsfrom both parties votedby sizeable margins to re-peal a tax credit and tar-iff on ethanol. Ethanolproduces about 30 per-cent less energy than pe-troleum-based gasolineand requires the burningof fossil fuels in its pro-duction. How soon theHouse of Representativeswill follow the Senate’s

attack on ethanol re-mains to be seen. Con-troversial laws establish-ing the subsidy and tariffin question are sched-uled to run out at year’send. What all three ofthese unknowns empha-size is dairymen’s need tomaximize use of forages(minimize the use of con-centrates), and maintaina diverse portfolio ofgrains fed to their cows.

I am making six pro-posals (to counter threeuncertainties). First,back down on grain fedto milking cows. If youhave the barn space,plenty of good, prefer-ably home grown, forage,and ample cow numbers,you will be able to feedless total grain to fivecows averaging 60pounds of milk than tofour cows averaging 75pounds of milk. A 60pound cow can usuallybe fed one pound ofgrain for each fourpounds of milk, while a75 pound cow normallyrequires one pound of

grain for every threepounds of milk. There-fore the five cows end uprequiring 25 pounds lessgrain than the six higherproducing cows. Totalmilk production is thesame for each group, butthe lower-producingcows will want to replacesome of that concentratewith more forage at amuch lower cost perpound of dry matter. An-other thing to consider isthat the lower producingcows often stay in theherd longer enough tooutproduce the higherproducing cows on a life-time basis.

Second, pasture dairycattle as early as possi-ble in the spring, and aslate as possible in thefall. Fall-planted wintersmall grains green up inthe spring much earlierthan perennial pastures.(Remember to supple-ment these early winterannual pastures withmagnesium, since theytend to be low in this nu-

As the debate overethanol policy continuesin Washington, reviewingrecent research on thesubject of ethanol andcorn prices may prove in-sightful especially whenone set of ethanol oppo-

nents blames the biofuelas the leading cause ofhigher livestock andpoultry feed prices.

“There is a lot of falserhetoric out there aboutthe impact of ethanol pol-icy on corn prices and by

extension the price offood and feed,” saidNCGA President BartSchott. “The researchdoes not support thisrhetoric and it is time tomove past this and worktogether for stronger eco-

nomic security and abroad approach to energyindependence that canhelp reduce costs.”

Last month, BruceBabcock of Iowa StateUniversity released a re-port for the International

Centre for Trade andSustainable Developmentthat looked at the impactof the ethanol blender’scredit on corn prices andfound that corn priceswould have been only upto 17 percent lower had

the credit not been ex-tended in late 2010. Thereport also extends itsconsideration to prices ofcorn products and sees adiminishing effect.

Revisiting ethanol’s impact on corn and feed prices

trient.) In mid-summerplant a grazeable Brassi-ca, like kale or turnips,

to stretch late grazingway past first snowfall.Intensely grazing cattle

tend to milk quite welland consume much lessgrain than their confined

counterparts.Third, row cultivate

corn even if you’re notorganic, because thismechanical secondarytillage not only goes af-ter weeds which es-caped the herbicide, iteffectively aerates thesoil. The fluffed up soilhelps capture dew whenweather turns dry, plusit will help surplus top-soil moisture evaporate.When the soil is toocool, the introduction ofwarmer air adds heat tothe soil. Oxygen provid-ed by aeration is greatlydesired by most cropsand actually discour-ages many weeds. Clas-sic Cornell researchjust after World War IIshowed that sprayedcorn, as well as un-sprayed corn, bothshowed a 17 percenrtyield improvementcaused by two passeswith a row cultivator.That’s research whichchemical companieswould just as soon ig-nore.

Fourth, maintain a di-verse portfolio of grainsin the milking cow’sdiet. Each differentgrain (and forage forthat matter) requires adifferent team of rumenmicrobes to digest it.Keeping a little of eachcommodity in her dietwill ensure those differ-

ent microbial popula-tions get what they wantand don’t go dormant. Ifeconomics suddenly fa-vor wheat strongly, itwould be better to in-crease pounds of wheatper ton from 100 to 500,rather than from zero to400. Ten pounds ofwheat is nutritionallyequal to nine pounds ofcorn and one pound ofsoybean meal. It’s im-portant to rememberthat we’re feeding rumi-nant micro-organismswho then feed theirbovine host.

Fifth, keep your soilorganic matters (O.M.)over three percent. Con-tinuous row-cropping,particularly corn, tendsto run organic matterdown, and thus the abil-ity of affected soils tohold moisture. USDAdata has shown that100 pounds of dry soilwith five percent O.M.can hold 195 poundswater, equal to six inch-es of rain. Conversely,100 pounds of soil withtwo percent O.M. onlyholds 45 pounds of wa-ter, equal to 1.5 inchesof rainfall. Soils withless than two percentO.M. tend to experiencea lot more nutrient lossthrough leaching.

Sixth and last: Don’tthrow away the cob! Re-searchers over 40 years

ago at the University ofWisconsin and CornellUniversity showed that,pound for pound, dryear corn supports asmuch milk as shellcorn. Five pounds of earcorn, if shelled, yieldsfour pounds of kernelsand one pound of cob.Thus, one can sensiblycalculate that fouracres of ear corn sup-ports as much milk asfive acres of shelledcorn. A respectableyield of ear corn wouldbe five tons per acre.When combined, thatacre will place four tonsof kernels in the com-bine bins, and will takeback one ton of cobsdropped through thetrash. That 2000 poundmass of cobs will haveto be replaced by a tonof shelled corn at $244!

We need an increasedunderstanding of theability of the dairy cowto utilize feedstuffs in-digestible to simple-stomached animals, likeourselves. This under-standing will help herfeed managers dodgebullets in the form ofunstable grain suppliesand prices…. uncertain-ties thrust on them bysupply/demand imbal-ances, most of them po-litical and/or weather-based, and many ofthem international.

As Congress discussespossible changes toethanol tax incentives in

the days ahead, NCGAand its allies in theethanol industry are

stressing the common-sense approach of theirfive-step Ethanol

Roadmap as a concretepathway for the future,especially the importance

of the need for market ac-cess and infrastructureand consumer choice.

“Americans love beingoffered choices but when

have not been the majordriver of higher commod-ity prices,” the reportstates. “The impact ofU.S. ethanol policiesthrough higher feed costson consumer prices ofeggs, beef, pork andbroilers was even small-er. The largest impact onany of these productswas a two-cent-per-dozen (1.1 percent) in-crease in egg prices. Allother product prices wereimpacted by much lessthan 1 percent.”

This report is similar toan April study by Bab-cock and JacintoFabiosa, which foundthat the corn price spikeof 2008 would have hap-pened without ethanolexpansion.

“First, the general pat-tern of corn prices thatwe saw in the historicalperiod-increasing pricesin 2006 and 2007, a pricespike in 2008, followedby a sharp price declinein 2009 — would haveoccurred without ethanolsubsidies or even if cornethanol production hadnot expanded,” Babcockand Fabiosa state. “Sec-ond, investor fervor forcorn ethanol in 2005,2006, and 2007 would

have occurred even with-out subsidies because acombination of cheapcorn, a phase-out ofMTBE, and higher crudeoil prices made ethanolprofitable. Thus, ethanolproduction would haveexpanded quite rapidlyeven without subsidies.

The researchers statethat actual corn pricesincreased by an averageof $1.65 per bushel from2006 to 2009 and thatonly 14 cents (8 percent)of this increase was dueto ethanol subsidies. An-other 45 cents of the in-crease was due to mar-ket-based expansion ofthe corn ethanol indus-try.

This is not a new theo-ry. At the height of thelast spike in corn pricesback in 2008, Texas A&MUniversity’s Agricultureand Food Policy Centerissued a report that drewsimilar conclusions. Thisreport looks not at theethanol incentives, but atthe Renewable Fuel Stan-dard (RFS) itself.

“Relaxing the RFS doesnot result in significantlylower corn prices,” theresearchers note. “This isdue to the ethanol infra-structure already in

place and the generallypositive economics forthe industry. The ethanolindustry has grown in ex-cess of the RFS, indicat-ing that relaxing thestandard would notcause a contraction inthe industry.”

Ethanol productionalso helps the livestockindustry, Schott noted,because when corn isconverted to ethanol onlythe starch is used. Dis-tillers grains is a valuable

coproduct that retains allthe non-starch food andfeed value of the cornused for ethanol. it pro-vides all of the protein,minerals, nutrients, andoil from corn and returnsit into the livestock feedsupply chain.

Distillers grains avail-ability will displace ap-proximately 1.2 billionbushels of corn in live-stock rations this year,providing a high-quality,high-value feed product

for livestock producers.At approximately $200per ton, this providescorn-equivalent proteinand nutrients for live-stock feed at the priceequivalent of less than$1.75 per bushel.

In an article July 4,agriculture reporter andcommentator Gary Truittsays that the livestock in-dustry is doing agricul-ture a disservice in its at-tack on ethanol.

“Amidst our great di-

versity, we must findcommon ground andsupport each other in aneffort protect a sectorthat is to vital to theU.S.,” Truitt said. “Hav-ing a safe and sustain-able meat and milk sup-ply is just as importantas having a functioningrenewable fuels industryto lessen our dependenceon imported oil.”

Speaking at an Envi-ronmental ProtectionAgency hearing, Jobesaid the EPA’s proposalrepresents a modest andsustainable level ofgrowth in the Biomass-based Diesel programthat is consistent withthe availability of the di-verse feedstocks used tomake biodiesel, such asvegetable oils, recycledcooking oil and animalfats. He noted thatbiodiesel is the onlyEPA-designated Ad-vanced Biofuel beingproduced on a commer-cial scale across thecountry, and he com-mended the EPA for sup-

porting the industry’sgrowth.

“While we believethese are conservativetargets for the U.S.biodiesel industry, weapplaud the EPA for pro-posing a reasonable in-crease,” Jobe said in astatement after thehearing. “As America’sonly EPA-designated Ad-vanced Biofuel to reachcommercial-scale pro-duction nationwide, weare ready to meet thechallenge.”

So far this year,biodiesel is demonstrat-ing its ability to achievethe EPA’s 2011 standardof 800 million gallons.Biomass-based Dieselproduction has averagedsome 75 million gallonsin recent months, with ahigh of 82 million gal-lons in May, putting itwell on track for meetingor exceeding the target.

The EPA’s latest pro-posal calls for increasingthe Biomass-basedDiesel volume to 1 bil-lion gallons in 2012 and

almost 1.3 billion gal-lons in 2013. (Biodieselmakes up nearly all U.S.Biomass-based Dieselproduction.) Because itqualifies as an AdvancedBiofuel, biodiesel is alsoeligible to exceed theBiomass-based Dieseltargets and help meetgeneral advanced biofu-els requirements underthe program.

“We’re confident thatwe can meet these pro-duction goals. In doingso, we’ll help cure Amer-ica’s oil addiction with a

clean-burning renewablefuel while creating good-paying American jobs,”Jobe said. “This programwas developed to weanthe country off foreign oilwith cleaner homegrownfuels, and we believe it’sworking as intended.”

Biodiesel is a renew-able, clean-burningdiesel replacement thatis reducing U.S. depend-

ence on foreign petrole-um, creating green jobsand improving our envi-ronment. Made from anincreasingly diverse mixof feedstocks, it is theonly commercial-scalefuel used across the U.S.to meet the EPA’s defini-tion as an advanced bio-fuel. Its production, dis-tribution and use willsupport more than

31,000 U.S. jobs in 2011and replace nearly 1 bil-lion gallons of importedpetroleum diesel.Biodiesel is used in ex-isting diesel engines andmeets strict specifica-tions of ASTM D6751.

NBB is the nationaltrade association repre-senting the biodiesel in-dustry in the UnitedStates.

National Biodiesel Board supports EPA renewable fuels proposalCEO Jobe: Program offers industry stability and economic, environmental benefits

it comes to what fuelstheir cars and trucks canuse, they often have nochoice,” NCGA PresidentBart Schott said. “Ex-panding flex-fuel vehiclescan offer drivers a muchwider selection so theycan make decisions thatare right for their partic-ular uses, for the envi-ronment, and for the na-tional economy.”

The Ethanol Roadmap,released this spring byNCGA, the AmericanCoalition for Ethanol,Growth Energy, and theRenewable Fuels Associ-ation, lays out these fivebroad steps forward:

1. Reform the currentethanol tax incentiveprogram.

2. Expand consumerfuel choice by increasingthe number of flex-fuelvehicles.

3. Empower consumerchoice by investing inbiofuels infrastructure,including blender pumpsand pipelines.

4. Base greenhouse-gas accounting on soundscience.

5. Ensure feedstockneutrality in developingadvanced biofuels.

“Corn growers and theethanol industry are al-ways looking to the fu-ture, and we take noth-ing for granted,” Schottsaid. “Just as we arecommitted to continuousimprovement in what wedo on the farm or in themill, we also are commit-ted to taking a fresh lookat what can help stabilizethe industry and allow itto grow in an atmospherewhere the competition —foreign oil — has domi-nated for so long.”

by Stewart TruelsenIsn’t it about time we

praised All-Americanfood, the food we like toeat at a picnic or outdoorbarbecue? We’re talkingabout hamburgers, hotdogs, fried chicken,sweet corn, potato salad,fresh fruit, ice cream andmany other favorites.

Yet, we are often madeto feel guilty about enjoy-ing our favorite foods.The cheeseburger hasbecome the graphic im-age for any news storyabout overeating andobesity. The potato, astaple of the American

diet, has been unfairlycriticized and threatenedwith withdrawal fromschool nutrition pro-grams. Snacking is con-sidered a bad habit andheaven forbid you shouldwant an Oreo cookie.

The drumbeat of nega-tivity in the media aboutAmerican food and eat-ing habits is nothingnew, of course. Through-out the nineteenth cen-tury, critics railed aboutcondiments of all things.Mustard, ketchup, salt,pepper and cinnamonwere thought to be toostimulating. Sylvester

Graham, the food criticof 150 years ago, said,“The stern truth is thatno purely stimulatingsubstances of any kindcan be habitually usedby man without injury tothe whole nature.”

Today, of course theculprits in the diet arepegged as fat, salt andsugar, and certainlythere is scientific evi-dence to cause us tomonitor our intake. Butbooks and articles thatroundly attack Americanfood and the way wegrow it simply go too farand sound remarkably

like Graham and othercritics from the past.

Dr. David A. Kessler, aformer FDA commission-er, has written a best-selling book, The End ofOvereating. He takessome of the usual swipesat food companies andmarketers, but he adds,“The only eating planthat will work for you isone built around the per-sonal likes and dislikesyou have accumulatedover a lifetime.”

Kessler sees nothingwrong with eating a rea-sonable-size hamburgeror strips of bacon. The

problem for Americans iswith what he calls “hy-pereating,” or indulgingtoo much. One sugges-tion he has is to substi-tute the rewards ofhealthy exercise for thekind of rewards we getfrom eating highly palat-able foods.

Fortune magazine re-cently honored the hot-dog as one of the “100Greatest Things aboutAmerica,” a well-deservedaccolade. We should doeven more to praise theAll-American foods thatare such a source of prideat family gatheringsaround picnic tables or

backyard grills. These arethe foods that have be-come part of the Ameri-can dream and create somany happy memories.

Summertime bringsout the very best of theseAll-American food choic-es, including a wide ar-ray of locally grown freshfruits and vegetables. It’stime to stand up for All-American foods and dropthe guilt and negativity.

ARLINGTON, VA —The American TruckingAssociations’ advanceseasonally adjusted (SA)For-Hire Truck TonnageIndex increased 2.8 per-cent in June after de-creasing a revised 2.0percent in May 2011.May’s drop was slightlyless than the 2.3 percentATA reported on June27. The latest gain putthe SA index at 115.8(2000=100) in June, upfrom the May level of112.6 and the highestsince January 2011.

The not seasonally ad-justed index, which rep-resents the change intonnage actually hauledby the fleets before anyseasonal adjustment,equaled 122.3 in June,which was 5.3 percentabove the previousmonth.

Compared with June2010, SA tonnagejumped 6.8 percent, thelargest year-over-yeargain since January2011. In May, the ton-nage index was 3 percentabove a year earlier.

“Motor carriers told usthat freight was strong inJune and that played outin the data as well,” ATA

Chief Economist BobCostello said. Tonnagerecovered all of the loss-es in April and Maywhen the index contract-ed a total of 2.6 percent.

“After growing 5.5 per-cent in the first half ofthe year from the sameperiod last year, thestrength of truck ton-nage in the second halfwill depend greatly onwhat manufacturingoutput does,” Costellonoted. “If manufacturingcontinues to growstronger than GDP, I ful-ly expect truck freight todo the same.”

Note on the impact oftrucking company fail-ures on the index: Eachmonth, ATA asks itsmembership the amountof tonnage each carrierhauled, including alltypes of freight. The in-dexes are calculatedbased on those respons-es. The sample includesan array of truckingcompanies, ranging fromsmall fleets to multi-bil-lion dollar carriers.When a company in thesample fails, we includeits final month of opera-tion and zero it out forthe following month,

with the assumptionthat the remaining carri-ers pick up that freight.As a result, it is close toa net wash and does notend up in a false in-crease. Nevertheless,some carriers are pick-ing up freight from fail-ures and it may haveboosted the index. Dueto our correction men-tioned above however, itshould be limited.

Trucking serves as abarometer of the U.S.

economy, representing67.2 percent of tonnagecarried by all modes ofdomestic freight trans-portation, includingmanufactured and retailgoods. Trucks hauled 9billion tons of freight in2010. Motor carriers col-lected $563.4 billion, or81.2 percent of total rev-enue earned by all trans-port modes.

ATA calculates thetonnage index based onsurveys from its mem-

bership and has beendoing so since the1970s. This is a prelimi-nary figure and subjectto change in the final re-port issued around the10th day of the month.The report includesmonth-to-month andyear-over-year results,relevant economic com-parisons, and key finan-cial indicators.

American Trucking As-sociations is the largestnational trade associa-tion for the trucking in-

dustry. Through a feder-ation of 50 affiliatedstate trucking associa-tions and industry-relat-ed conferences andcouncils, ATA is thevoice of the industryAmerica depends onmost to move our na-tion’s freight. Follow ATAon Twitter or on Face-book. Good stuff. TrucksBring It!

ARLINGTON, VA – The American Trucking Associa-tions asked Congress to direct the Transportation Se-curity Administration to work with industry ratherthan issuing excessive, burdensome and duplicativesecurity rules.

“The private sector is an essential partner and partof the solution for combating terrorism,” ATA VicePresident of Security and Operations Martin Rojastold the House Subcommittee on Transportation Se-curity during a July 12 hearing.. “We don’t need moreregulation, we need more cooperation.”

Rojas pointed to the apprehension by federal au-thorities of Khalid Ali-M Aldawasri following tips fromATA-member company Con-way Inc., as a model forfuture private sector-public sector partnerships.

Rojas told the subcommittee that in the decadesince the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks there have been anumber of programs initiated to minimize the risk of

another attack on U.S. soil that while “well intend-ed... have resulted in a multiplicity of overlappingand burdensome security requirements on truckingcompanies.”

“Unfortunately,” he testified, “rather than aug-menting the security of the transportation sector, thefocus has been more on regulatory compliance thanevaluating the impact of existing security require-ments.”

In addition to limiting future security mandates,Rojas recommended that as Congress looks to reau-thorize TSA they encourage information sharing be-tween the public and private sectors; improve coor-dination between federal agencies, many of whom al-ready play a role in transportation security; and en-sure that the roll out of readers for the Transporta-tion Worker Identification Credential moves forwardpromptly.

WASHINGTON, D.C. —The National FarmersUnion (NFU) Board ofDirectors passed a reso-lution on July 18 in re-sponse to U.S. House ofRepresentatives Com-mittee on AgricultureRanking Member CollinPeterson’s recent dairyreform proposal. Theproposal, based on theNational Milk ProducersFederation’s proposed“Foundation for the Fu-ture,” attempts to re-solve a number of criti-cal issues that preventthe current dairy safetynet from functioning ad-equately.

“While we are very ap-preciative of RankingMember Peterson’s pro-posal to initiate mean-ingful and necessarydairy reform, our Boardof Directors feels thatthe proposal in its cur-rent form is inade-quate,” said NFU Presi-dent Roger Johnson.“The current proposalwould not provide asafety net for all dairyfarmers, particularlyfamily-sized operators. Afundamental problemwith this proposal isthat it appears that thelargest farmers will reapthe greatest benefits atthe expense of smallerfamily farms.”

The resolution out-lines several solutionsthat would benefit allU.S. dairy farmers, in-cluding:

• An effective supplymanagement programthat utilizes a fixed base,which is critical to re-forming the currentdairy safety net. Com-

bined with the currentMilk Income Loss Con-tract (MILC) program,such a supply manage-ment program wouldprovide a fiscally re-sponsible way to man-age risk in dairy produc-tion at minimal or nocost to the Americantaxpayer;

• A refundable assess-ment collected on allmilk at all times, notonly when margins arelow, and adjustment ofthe current Dairy Prod-uct Support Price Pro-gram to reflect an ade-quate safety net level;

• Implementation of avariable make al-lowance. When the mar-ket price is strong, themake allowance wouldincrease corresponding-ly. When depressed, themake allowance wouldshrink so both farmersand processors have anincentive to raise milkprices; and

• Maintain the existingfederal milk marketingorder system with theaddition of a price dis-covery mechanism suchas a Consumer Price In-dex (CPI) formula.

“It is encouraging thatthe issue of reform inthe dairy industry is be-ing taken up in Con-gress, but it is clear thatthis legislation is not theanswer,” said Johnson.“We will continue work-ing with policymakers toensure that any pro-posed dairy policy re-forms do not exacerbatean already dire situa-tion. We must be certainthat the cure is notworse than the disease.”

The California MilkProducers Council(MPC) newsletter says"There's increased inter-est in cream for manu-facture of soft and frozenproducts, which givessome butter plants theoption to sell creamrather than build butterinventories. Buyers arehaving to roll the dice,"says MPC, "Buy now forthe fall and be sure of afull supply or wait untilprices come down."

It adds that USDA'sDairy Market News re-ports butter sales are"about normal for thistime of year, a surprisingobservation consideringthe level of retail pricesand the listless restau-rant business." May but-ter exports were slightlyhigher than the year be-fore, but MPC warned,"There are signs that theend of the global short-age of butterfat may bein sight."

Prices continued toweaken in the July 19Global Dairy Trade(Fonterra) auction. TheCME's Daily Dairy Reportshows the weighted aver-age price for skim milkpowder was $1.58 perpound, down 20 percentfrom the June 1 event.Whole milk powder, at$1.58 per pound, was

down 11 percent, anhy-drous milkfat was $2.09per pound, down 19 per-cent. Cheddar cheese forindustrial use debuted onthe auction and garneredan average winning bid of$2.10 per pound for Sep-tember delivery and$1.86 for October.

Speaking of the inter-national market; Cooper-atives Working Togetheraccepted six requeststhis week for export as-sistance from DairyFarmers of America andDarigold to sell 1.6 mil-lion pounds of Cheddarand Monterey Jackcheese to customers inNorth Africa, Asia, andCentral America.

Grade A nonfat drymilk headed the oppositedirection closing Fridayat $1.5250, down 8 1/2-cents on the week. ExtraGrade remained at $1.61.NASS powder averaged$1.6510, down 1.4 cents,and dry whey averaged55.21, up 1.1 cent.

The MPC reports that"Buyers of dry whey maybe more interested inlooking ahead than aremanufacturers. Suppliesare tight in the easternpart of the country andin balance elsewhere.Demand is steady fromdomestic users while ex-ports in April and May

were lower than the yearbefore as well as the twopreceding months. Pro-duction is being con-trolled by the rate ofcheese manufacturing,which is being influ-enced by the amount ofmilk that is available,which is being affectedby the weather."

Looking "Back to thefutures;" the Federal or-der Class III contract'saverage for the last halfof 2011 was $18.34 perhundredweight on June10 and 17, $18.21 onJune 24, $18.19 on July1, $18.54 on July 8, and$19.29 on July 15.

Milk production con-tinues to rise despitehigh feed prices, accord-ing to USDA's Livestock,Dairy, and Poultry Out-look. Climbing domesticcommercial use and ex-ports act to keep milkand dairy product priceshigh, the report said.Cow numbers were fore-cast to fall slightly in2012, but production isexpected to continue toclimb. Higher milk pro-duction will likely lead tolower milk and productprices in 2012, accord-ing to the Outlook.

The June Acreage re-port indicated that pro-

by Angela Shelf MedearisBeautiful Blackberries

Blackberries are one of the greatgifts of summer. The berries bloomfrom mid- to late June, and in mostparts of the county, start ripeningtoward the middle of July. Ripe andunripe blackberries frequently appearon the plants at the same time. Theberries are small, green, hard andsour at first, becoming larger, juicierand sweeter as they ripen. Here aresome great blackberry facts, tips and arecipe to help you with your summerberry picking and eating!

Blackberry Facts:• Select plump, firm and fully black

berries. Unripe berries will not ripenonce picked.

• Do the math and be careful not toover-purchase, as blackberries quicklymold when left at room temperatureand only last a few days in the refrig-erator.

• You easily can freeze berries thatyou can’t use right away — just wash,cut the hulls off and spread the berriesout on a baking pan. Place the berries

in the freezer. When frozen, place theminto a re-sealable bag, pressing out asmuch air as possible, and then freezethe berries.

• The U.S. Department ofAgriculture says 1 cup of blackberrieshas about 62 calories.

• A cup of blackberries, not packeddown, weighs almost one-third of apound.

• Blackberries were enjoyed by theancient Greeks, who believed them tobe a cure for diseases of the mouth andthroat, as well as a preventativeagainst many ailments, including gout.

• The blackberry leaf also was usedas an early hair dye, having been rec-ommended by Nicholas Culpeper, the17th-century English herbalist, to beboiled in a lye solution in order to“maketh the hair black.”

• Blackberry tea was said to be acure for dysentery during the CivilWar. During outbreaks of dysentery,temporary truces were declared toallow both Union and Confederate sol-diers to “go blackberrying” to forage forblackberries to ward off the disease.

• Researchers have known for quitesome time that berries contain antiox-idants, which help to fight cancer-causing free radicals. A study at theUniversity of Ohio has found thatblackberries are the most potent can-cer fighting berries of them all, bynearly 40 percent!

• This delicious Blackberry, Pecanand Goat Cheese Salad showcases thesweetness of the berry while providingthe crunch and smoothness of thepecans and goat cheese. It’s the per-fect summer salad!

ducers planted 92.3 mil-lion acres of corn, up 4.1million acres from lastyear, and the secondhighest since 1944. Theprospects for a largercrop in 2010/11, cou-pled with larger begin-ning stocks, resulted inlower expected cornprices compared withlast month's forecast.

Corn prices were fore-cast at $5.50-$6.50 abushel. Soybean mealprices were lowered fromlast month's forecast to$345-$375 a ton. While

corn and soybean pricesin 2011/12 are likely tobe lower than earlierseason expectations, for-age prices could remainnear record highs.

Nationally, alfalfaprices set a record highin May. The JuneAcreage report con-firmed expectations thatthe harvested area of al-falfa hay and alfalfa mix-tures had declined from2010. The expected har-vested area decline,along with severedrought in parts of Texas

and the southwest andexcessive wetness inparts of the northwest(which adversely impact-ed first cutting), willkeep alfalfa hay priceshigh for the rest of 2011and into 2012.

"On balance, thechange in feed ingredientprices will offer onlyscant relief for dairy pro-ducers," says USDA, "Asthe benchmark 16-per-cent protein ration willlikely remain well above2010 for both the bal-ance of 2011 and 2012."

May fluid milk salestotaled about 4.4 billionpounds, according toUSDA data, down 1.9percent from May 2010after adjusting for calen-dar composition. Esti-mated sales of total con-ventional fluid milkproducts decreased 2.4percent while total or-ganic fluid products in-creased 21.9 percent.

The slippage in milkconsumption has longplagued the industryand was the topic of con-versation in Monday's

DairyLine with DairyManagement Incorporat-ed's David Pelzer. Percapita consumption hasfallen for all but one ofthe past 25 plus years,he said, but total milksales continue to growbecause the U.S. popula-tion is growing.

Milk consumption perperson is slipping, he ad-mitted, but DMI does notagree with those who be-lieve that we can'tchange that trend nomatter what we do. Hewarned however, that wecan't reverse that trenduntil we do what ourcompetitors are doing,be they bottled water,soda, or other beverages.

Modern packaging andmodern market tech-niques are a couple ar-eas, Pelzer cited, and hesaid we need to tap intothe value added marketsuch as what McDonaldshas done with fluid milksales to build its bever-age business. He men-tioned their latest addi-tions, lattes, Frappes,Smoothies, and now Li-quados, a Mexican drinktargeting the growingHispanic population."Milk is a prime ingredi-ent in those beverages,"he concluded, "Plus themarket prowess that Mc-Donalds has and youcan see the potential forincreased sales."

The Alliance of West-ern Milk Producers re-ported in its newsletterthat, in response to the

scoring of National Milk's"Foundation for the Fu-ture" (FFTF) dairy policyproposal by the Congres-sional Budget Office,that two changes had tobe made in order to havea program cost that isless than the currentsystem.

First: when the MarginProtection part of the pro-gram is activated the per-centage of a producer'sproduction base milkthat will be paid the guar-anteed minimum marginwill be reduced to 75 per-cent from 90 percent.

Second: whenever theMilk Stabilization pro-gram is in force andthere are penalties paidby producers who pro-duce in excess of theirbases, 50 percent of thatpenalty money will bepaid directly to USDA.The other 50 percent willbe used to either buyproduct from the marketplace for distribution tothe needy or will be in-vested in enhancingmarkets for dairy prod-ucts. The balance of theFFTF program will re-main as proposed.

The National FarmersUnion weighed in on lastweek's draft legislationwhich incorporates keyelements of the FFTF,made available by theHouse Agriculture Com-mittee's ranking mem-ber, Collin Peterson (D-MN.) NFU PresidentRoger Johnson said,

"While we are very ap-preciative of RankingMember Peterson's pro-posal to initiate mean-ingful and necessarydairy reform, our Boardof Directors feels that theproposal in its currentform is inadequate."

He said "The currentproposal would not pro-vide a safety net for alldairy farmers, particu-larly family-sized opera-tors. A fundamentalproblem with this pro-posal is that it appearsthat the largest farmerswill reap the greatestbenefits at the expenseof smaller family farms."

Dairy Profit Weekly re-ports that, through thefirst two quarters of2011, Minnesota milkproduction has beendown 1.1 and 3.2 per-cent, respectively. Yet,the Minnesota Milk Pro-ducers Association con-

tends its memberswould have been penal-ized under the proposedFFTF Dairy Market Sta-bilization Program.

In addition, MMPAsays the "margin insur-ance" safety net provi-sion of the plan "falls farshort of current Milk In-come Loss Contract pro-gram benefits; and fed-

eral order reforms bene-fit areas with higherClass I (fluid milk) uti-lization, further discrim-inating against UpperMidwestern milk pro-ducers." And, EditorPete Hardin of the Milk-weed blasted the FFTF.It's posted on his web-site at www.themilk-weed.com .

by Ann PerryU.S. Department of

Agriculture (USDA) sci-entists have producedthe first detailed data onhow large-scale dairy fa-cilities contribute to theemission of greenhousegases. This researchwas conducted by Agri-cultural Research Ser-vice (ARS) scientists atthe ARS Northwest Irri-gation and Soils Re-

search Laboratory inKimberly, Idaho.

ARS is USDA’s princi-pal intramural scientificresearch agency, andthese studies supportthe USDA priority of re-sponding to climatechange.

ARS soil scientistApril Leytem led theyear-long project, whichinvolved monitoring theemissions of ammonia,

carbon dioxide,methane and nitrousoxide from a commercialdairy with 10,000 milkcows in southern Idaho.The facility had 20open-lot pens, two milk-ing parlors, a hospitalbarn, a maternity barn,a manure solid separa-tor, a 25-acre waste-water storage pond anda 25-acre compost yard.

Concentration data

was collected continu-ously for two to threedays each month, alongwith air temperature,barometric pressure,wind direction and windspeed. After this datawas collected, Leytem’steam calculated the av-erage daily emissions foreach source area foreach month.

The results indicatedthat, on average, the fa-

cility generated 3,575pounds of ammonia,33,092 pounds ofmethane and 409pounds of nitrous oxideevery day. The open lotareas generated 78 per-cent of the facility’s am-monia, 57 percent of itsnitrous oxide and 74percent of the facility’smethane emissions dur-ing the spring.

In general, the emis-sion of ammonia and ni-trous oxide from theopen lots were lowerduring the late eveningand early morning, andthen increased through-out the day to peak latein the day. These dailyfluctuations paralleledpatterns in wind speed,air temperature andlivestock activity, all ofwhich generally in-creased during the day.Emissions of ammoniaand methane from thewastewater pond andthe compost were alsolower in the late eveningand early morning andincreased during theday.

Results from thestudy were published inthe Journal of Environ-mental Quality.

Read more about thiswork in the July 2011issue of Agricultural Re-search magazine.

How dairy farms contribute togreenhouse gas emissions

In the first detailed studyon emissions from large-scale dairies, ARS re-searchers found that acommercial dairy with10,000 milk cows generat-ed an average of 3,575pounds of ammonia,33,092 pounds ofmethane, and 409 poundsof nitrous oxide every day.

by Judy Wright, Chair, Northeast CCA RegionWhat a turn around in the weather since I wrote last

in May! What I thought would be a cool wet growingseason has really turned the corner into one withplenty of heat and now needing rain. Who would havethought less than two months ago we would have beenlooking for rain?

In central New York we had a good second cutting ofhay, the winter wheat is almost ready for harvest andcorn is starting to tassel in some areas. I now have myfingers crossed for any rain to hold off until the winterwheat is harvested to prevent sprouting and then it canrain to ensure any potential drought stress will be re-duced and good pollination of the corn crop will occur.

Last I looked prices from the commodity grains stilllooked good. According to the May 2011 New YorkCrop and Livestock Report acreage of winter wheat inNew York was up slightly over 2010, yet yield is ex-pected to be down slightly to 64 bushels compared to2010 and the national winter wheat crop is down from2010. Let’s continue to keep our fingers crossed for fa-vorable harvest conditions. I have been surprised tosee a few oat fields that some how got planted thisspring now also ripening for harvest! I spoke with ourlocal dairy feed supplier and he was not expecting to

receive any locally grown oats this year.Our fresh vegetable growers, however, are seeing

the effects of the wet cool spring planting weather. Insome areas the change to hot dry conditions have al-lowed some crops to respond favorably while othercrops did not develop the deep root system needed towithstand the current hot dry conditions. I am per-sonally holding out for the local sweet corn to come tomarket which also was delayed because of the wetsoils. The farm market I buy from has planted all theacreage and is expecting sweet corn into October thisyear — such a treat!

With most of the difficult decisions behind us forthis growing season, now is the time to think aboutcover crops to hold those nutrients not used by thecurrent crop for next year. Your Certified Crop Advis-er is available to help with these important decisionsand can offer you some timely information.

I just became aware that the United States Depart-ment of Agriculture (USDA) is accepting applicationsfor grants to provide economic assistance to inde-pendent producers, farmer and rancher cooperativesand agricultural producer groups through the Value-Added Producer Grant Program. The maximum grantamount for a planning grant is $100,000 and the max-

imum grant amount for a working capital grant is$300,000. The application deadline is Aug. 29. If youare interested you find more information at

www.usda.gov/wps/portal/usda/usdahome?con-tentid=2011/06/0281.xml

Be sure to contact your Certified Crop Adviser tolearn more about how they can be a partner in yourdecision making process today and what programsare available to keep farmers and agricultural advis-ers up to date on Best Management Practices, envi-ronmental stewardship, and any future regulatorymeasures. Together we can keep New York agriculturea strong part of the local economy and help revitalizeour state’s economy.

CERTIFIED CROP ADVISER

by Adam W. Pike, AgriculturalStatistician

The custom rates shown are aver-ages from voluntary reports by cus-tom operators and farmers through-out Pennsylvania. Most of the ratesare stated per acre, cwt., ton, bale, orbushel rather than per hour to reducethe variation due to machinery size.The rates shown include the cost ofhiring machine with fuel and operatorand exclude the cost of seed, fertilizer,and other materials used unless oth-erwise specified. Individual rates varydue to differences in working condi-tions, services performed, or even theoperator’s eagerness to do customwork. Therefore, the average ratesshown should not be considered ab-solute indications of fair charges.

Average rates are shown separatelyfor two regions of the state, labeled“Mountain” and “Valley”. The differ-ences in rates between regions reflectdifferences in terrain, soils and alter-native opportunities for the labor andequipment used. Figures labeled“State” represent the straight average

of all reports used regardless of geo-graphic location.

Of the 82 rates reported with year-to-year comparisons, 52 increased,24 decreased, and 6 are virtually un-changed from last year. Overall, cus-tom rates were up 1.88 percent com-pared to the previous year. Because ofthe potential variation in size andoverall productivity of equipment, arange of reported rates for each jobhas been included. The range repre-sents the middle 80 percent of all re-ported rates for each job, thus thelowest 10 percent and the highest 10percent of all reported values were ex-cluded.

I am Keith Severson and I was de-lighted to learn that I can once againclaim to be a card carrying CertifiedCrop Adviser. This might be confusingto some considering I have worked inan advisory capacity as an educatorwith responsibilities in agronomy withCornell Cooperative Extension forover 30 years. I became CCA certifiednearly 25 years ago when I was work-ing in Oswego County but found itvery difficult to keep current with thecontinuing education unit (CEU) re-quirement while working and attend-ing classes to obtain an MBA.

Shortly after obtaining the MBA, Itook an administrative position withChenango County for Extension andstaying current with my CEU’s be-came even more challenging so I de-cided to let my CCA expire. Sevenyears later, I retired as a Federal em-ployee, married Roberta Harrison, an-other long time CCE Extension Edu-cator, and moved to Onondaga Coun-ty, where we currently reside.

I decided to renew my CCA and Pes-ticide Certification when I accepted an

opportunity to work as a Field Cropsextension educator in Cayuga Coun-ty. I prepared for the exams, foundthem more challenging than before,and am participating in training op-portunities to remain current in bothcategories.

I can honestly say that today’s re-quirements ask more of an educatorand service provider than they did inthe past, considering the volume of re-search and discoveries that have de-veloped over the years. Technologynow provides new methods to obtainand verify that training has been com-pleted but the body of knowledge in to-day’s world is ever expanding. One ofthe items that I have always appreci-ated while working for Extension isthe ability to receive training opportu-nities from the researchers that aredetermining the future of the sciencewe will work with. I have always en-joyed the opportunity to learn in afashion that allows me to providemore accurate recommendations andgreater options for agricultural pro-ducers to manage their business.

WASHINGTON, D.C. —On July 21, the HouseAgriculture Committeeheld a public hearing toreview the impact of de-rivatives reform on endusers and smaller finan-cial institutions. Thishearing comes at a pivotalpoint in the implementa-tion of Title VII of theDodd-Frank Act as theCommodity FuturesTrading Commission(CFTC) moves from pro-posing rules to finalizingregulations.

Members of the Com-mittee heard from a di-verse group of witnessesrepresenting communitybanks, public power com-panies, rural electric co-ops, and manufacturerswho expressed concernsthat the CFTC’s regula-tions may go too far, im-posing unnecessary costson their businesses. Thewitnesses expressed con-cerns that these costswould be passed on totheir customers in theform of higher costs.

“Today’s witnesses con-firmed our concerns thatoverreaching proposalswill negatively impact thevery businesses we’re re-lying on to create jobs. If arural electric cooperativefinds itself in the sameregulatory category asGoldman Sachs, theCFTC simply doesn’t haveit right. We need to bringsome balance and com-mon sense back to thisprocess,” said ChairmanFrank Lucas.
