by Judy Van Put On Sunday, July 31, Rivendel Farm

(located at the top of Swiss Hill nearKenoza Lake, Sullivan County, NewYork) opened its doors to the public for aWorking Farm Tour, as part of the Farm-stock 2011 series of tours. Hosted byowners Linda and Alan Rajlevsky, the in-teresting ‘stations’, the picturesque loca-tion and perfect sunny and breezy sum-mer weather made for a very enjoyableafternoon for all in attendance.

Rivendel Farm became the eighthevent of Farmstock 2011 Working FarmTours; its emphasis is on pasture-raised, free-range sheep and goats, whoare raised with no antibiotics or hor-mones. Linda Rajlevsky gave a very in-teresting introduction to the farm, whileher husband Alan prepared a mouth-watering meal of grilled lamb TikkaMasala cooked in a traditional tandoor.

While the group was enjoying the deli-cious refreshments, Linda reminiscedabout how the farm was acquired, bypurchasing contiguous properties thatwere scheduled for foreclosure over a pe-riod of about five years, and combiningthe acreage; eventually winding up witha total of 53 acres, the present size of thefarm. The couple desired to do some-thing with the land, and started raisingsheep in 1994, after a friend dropped offa few abused sheep, and it became nec-essary to learn how to provide propercare for them. She credited their friendand neighbor, Trina Pilonero from near-by Silver Heights Farm, Jeffersonville,with providing the necessary help andexperience.

Today Rivendel Farm is home to up-wards of 60 sheep; the breeds of choiceare Clun Forest and Dorset. The ClunForest, a little-known breed in the Unit-ed States, hails from England and isknown for its hardiness, easy lambing,and good mothering qualities. Thesheep are more comfortable outside inthe snow during winter, and the moth-ers produce plenty of milk. TheDorsets, another English breed, werechosen for their ability to breed out ofseason, or two times a year. Interest-ingly, the Club Forests are a black-faced sheep, and the Dorsets a white-faced breed; their offspring are mixedblack and white faced.

There are two rams on the property,and from 30 to 60 ewes at any given time.The farm sells their lambs quickly, theysell meat to an established client base;and they do take requests to buy lambsoff the farm for breeding purposes andsetting up new sheep farms in the areaas well. In addition to meat and live lambsales, the farm sells wool, mostly to localspinning guilds.

The second station was provided byLisa Rose, a friend and neighbor andmember of the Woodland Weavers’ &Spinners’ Guild, of Beach Lake, PA. Lisawas giving a felting demonstration, andhad brought along bags of various typesof wool, as well as hanks of naturally-dyed wool and yarn, a spinning wheeland a number of beautiful hand-knititems. All during the afternoon sheshowed how to make wool felt usingwool fibers, bubble wrap, a piece of win-dow screen, olive soap and a sponge.Children and adults alike were delight-ed to take home a square of felt that theyhad made from two handfuls of colorfulwool fibers.

While the felts were drying, Linda in-vited the group down to the sheep barn,where she described the duties of a shep-herd, with a great visual of a colorful pie-shaped chart describing the year’s worthof duties associated with keeping sheepsuspended overhead. January throughMarch is busy with feeding, hoof trim-ming, and shearing, in preparation forlambing time. April is lambing time —and Linda said the demand for her lambis so great that all 33 lambs were com-pletely sold out by Eastertime. Themonths of May and June are busy with“creep grazing” — a process where the lit-tle lambs are put out in the grassy pas-tures first — the areas where the ‘babies’graze are cordoned off to let them grazefirst, and protect them from any para-sites that could come from having themothers and adults in the same pasture.The sheep are intensely grazed for 30days on each section of cordoned-offpasture, as any worms that might bepresent in the manure will then die with-out a live host after 30 days. Each timethe lambs are moved to a new section,the mothers and adult sheep follow;however, for the first six weeks, thelambs have to be brought back to theirmothers to nurse. Weaning occurs atabout six weeks, when the lambs havereached 36 pounds. July through Sep-tember is taken up with grazing, Octoberand November with flushing, and De-cember, breeding.

Occasionally a ewe will reject a lamb,or will not have enough milk to feed mul-tiple lambs — these orphans are called“Bummer lambs” and require bottle feed-ing. For this purpose, Linda and Alankeep a half-dozen doe goats and a buckon the property. The does are bred to kidin late winter/early spring, before thelambs are born, and some of the goats’colostrum and milk is frozen in two-ounce cubes and kept in the freezer forthis purpose.

This fourth ‘station’ was the real high-light of the farm tour for the children in

attendance, many of whom had nevergotten within petting distance of a farmanimal. Not only were they allowed to petthe kids, but Linda reached over thefence to carefully lift a kid out, and thechildren were allowed to carefully holdone of the tiny goat kids in their arms!

In addition to sheep and goats, Riven-

del Farm produces pasture-raised chick-ens and fresh eggs all year-round; andalso produces honey, specializing ingoldenrod honey.

Unfair Practices by foreigncompanies mislead consumers andstrain multimillion dollar honeysindustry — Gillibrand, Hoeven callfor immediate reform

WASHINGTON, D.C. — With decep-tive manufacturing practices by foreigncompanies threatening domestic honeyproducers, U.S. Senators Kirsten Gilli-brand and John Hoeven called on theFood and Drug Administration (FDA) toimplement a national standard of iden-tity for honey. While New York andNorth Dakota’s honey producers gener-ated $53.4 million in sales in 2009, pro-

ducers have been strained as cheap,adulterated honey from abroad has in-undated the U.S. market.

“New York has some of the nation’sfinest honey and hardest working pro-ducers,” Senator Gillibrand said. “Toprotect consumers and safeguard theintegrity of honey products, we mustadopt a national standard of identity forhoney to prevent unscrupulous im-porters from flooding the market withmisbranded honey products. The lackof regulation is a food safety concernand a bane to our honey producers.”

“North Dakota is the nation’s leading

producer of honey, so it’s importantthat producers in our state andthroughout the country are treated welland fairly in the marketplace” SenatorHoeven said. “Preserving the identity ofAmerican-made honey gives consumersconfidence by assuring them that theyare buying a quality product.”

In a letter to Margaret Hamburg,Commissioner of the FDA, SenatorsGillibrand and Hoeven urged the FDA totake swift action in adopting a nationalstandard of identity. Establishing sucha definition of purity will give inspectorsthe power to stem illicit imports and

curb domestic tampering, while provid-ing consumers with more assuranceabout the quality of honey products onthe U.S. market.

The FDA has established nearly 300food standards of identity, for everythingfrom grape jelly to maple syrup. Codify-ing this standard in U.S. law will allowfor a common language for honey to beregulated by the federal government.

According to the United States De-partment of Agriculture, North Dako-ta’s honey industry is the largest in thenation while New York’s ranked 11th intotal production in 2009.

by Jon M. CaseyThe benefits of cow comfort and im-

proved herd health were never more evi-dent than at the Rolling Spring FarmOpen House and Dairy Tour hosted byCharles “Charlie” and Denise Bean andfamily at their Venango County farmnear Franklin, PA on July 28. The eventwas part of a summer series of threeopen house/tours, sponsored by theCenter for Dairy Excellence andagribusiness supporters. The first eventwas held in mid-July at Kurtz Valley Hol-steins in Mifflintown, PA. The third andfinal event was at the Walk-Le Holsteins,owned by Leroy, Brenda and Brad Walk-er. That event will be at 6898 Oak Lane,Thomasville, York County, PA.

Rolling Spring FarmWelcoming more than 60 visitors to

the rainy-day event, Charlie comment-ed on how the addition of their new 105-stall loafing barn, increased the herd’smilk production by 10 pounds per cowper day. “We saw the increase almostimmediately, within the first twoweeks,” he said as we entered the newbarn together. “The new barn was com-pleted in 2010.”

“We think that it has been a good in-vestment. The cows are cooler in thesummer and it doesn’t freeze in the win-ter. With the mattresses under the sandbedding, the cows can stay comfortableall of the time,” he said.

“We use about 6 tons of sand every 10days, and the scraped manure goes outonto the fields in our manure spreader,”he added. “The sand is spread over Pro-mat® Pasture Mat mattresses. That isworking very well for us.”

Bean said with the sand bedding andthe two new rotating cow brushes, thecows are much cleaner than they werein their old environment. “They stand inline to use the brushes,” he said. “Thefirst thing that everyone notices is howmuch they use the brushes.”

During the morning presentation,Charlie’s father Dallas spoke briefly,welcoming the visitors and noting thatthe farm has been in the Bean family for170 years. He said the original 193-acrefarm was purchased by his grandfatherWilliam Bean, who bought the farm at asheriff’s sale after another family mem-ber, William’s uncle, had owned thefarm. He originally cleared 130 acres ofland before building the original houseand barn, but then failed to prosper inhis farming efforts.

He said William Bean made a successof the farm and it has remained in thefamily until today. Charlie added heand Denise bought the farm from Dal-las in 1981, and together they have

been working to improve and expandthe farm. Today they farm nearly 700acres with some of the grain being soldfor cash, but most of the corn, hay, soy-beans and small grains are used as feedfor the cattle.

Bean said they feed all of the produc-tion cows in the freestall barn and offerno feed in the two-row flat milking barn.

A portion of the older barn is used asa hospital and birthing facility. Beansaid someday, when the economics aremore reassuring, he would consider up-grading to a new milking parlor. For thetime being however, he is content to re-ly upon his retrofitted parlor and to fo-cus on keeping the cows healthy andthe production high.

The Bean family milks approximately90 cows with Charlie, sons Matt, Steveand daughter Heather all working to-gether to make it all happen. Bean saidHeather is a full-time college student,but works with the family during thesummer when she is on break fromschool.

Denise, who works away from thefarm as a pharmacist, also spends mostof her free time doing chores, takingcare of the family household, and shestill finds time to maintain a beautifulvegetable garden and flower gardensaround the farmstead. Denise has beeninstrumental in working with the herd’sbreeding selections and she is extreme-ly proud of the herd’s reputation fortype. She is especially proud of twoprominent, prize-winning Holsteinsthat have come from Rolling SpringFarm: “Sugar” and “Spice.”

Paul Lehman of Cambridge Springs,PA and builder of the new facility saidthat the 56-foot by 254-foot structuretook approximately 3 months to build.The 14-foot high structure is laid out insuch a way that when the curtains areopened, the breeze that flows from thenearby hillside naturally ventilates andcools the facility most of the time. Thathelps reduce the need to use the sixventilating fans at the far end of thebuilding. Just the same, with the recenthot weather, the fans have worked tokeep the cows comfortable and today’smuch-needed rain gave the herd abreak from the heat.

Matt Bean, who was involved allmorning, answering questions aboutthe construction of the new barn, was inagreement with his father about how thenew facility has benefitted their daily op-eration. He said the improvement inoverall herd management has made hislife a little easier. “I like how much easi-er it is to take care of the cattle,” he said.“The cows are happier and so am I.”

On land that was deeded to the DygertFamily in 1723 by the Queen of Eng-land, the Dygert Dairy of Distinctionwas established, and it continues toproudly stand overlooking the MohawkValley.

“In 2023 it will be 300 years that thisfarm has been here,” acknowledges13th generation dairy farmer, RobDygert. “Although, it’s not recognizeduntil 2076, because the United Stateswasn’t formed until 1776.”

Commemorating that historical dateis an original 13-star flag, a prized pos-session of the family, which holds aplace of honor in the home.

“There are very few operational bicen-tennial farms today and we are reallyproud of this,” admits Rob’s wife, Shan-non.

History is the heritage of the farm andthe original family Bible, which wasbrought over when the family camefrom Germany in the 1700’s, is stillowned and cherished by the Dygertfamily. Unfortunately, however, theoriginal deed for the property was lostmany years ago.

“My grandfather loaned it out to bedisplayed in a store for a street fair,”Grandfather Bob Dygert rememberswith regret. “It was either lost or stolenfrom that store.”

Bob took over the farm from his fatherwhen he was 20 years old in 1948, andhe still lives in the farm’s original housethat he was brought up in. “We steppedout of the kitchen door right here to thispump to get a drink of water,” helaughs, explaining that when he and hiswife married and moved to the house

next door, they still had to come down toget water from the original house pump,as they had no running water.

The Dygert family has had their shareof trials over the years, including twoserious barn fires; one in 1929 and an-other in 1979, each time requiring thatthe main barn be rebuilt. Then, in 2006,the machinery shed caught on fire andmost of the farm equipment was lost.However, determination — and maybe abit of stubbornness — enabled the fam-ily to persevere throughout the years.

Bob Dygert transferred the farm overto Rob and Shannon in 2009, and al-though he is not a partner in the farm,they say he is still the “Senior Advisor.”

“We have learned a lot from him —and we have taught him a few things,”Shannon acknowledges. “He also helpsdo a variety of tasks and chores for us.”

The farm does employ a part-timehelper, however, Shannon reports thatboth her and Rob’s families have beenvery much a part of assisting them onthe farm. “Our families have helped usin many ways, which we are gratefulfor,” she states, adding that their fami-ly, including her father — who is actingas a contractor — has done almost all ofthe work on the new 100 stall, free-stallbarn that they are erecting on the prop-erty. Shannon notes the “labor ineffi-ciency of a tie-stall compared to a free-stall” operation.

Dygerts are also converting their tie-stall barn into a milking parlor with atarget date of completion by this au-tumn. “We are hoping to be milking 90cows in the fall,” explains Shannon.

Dygerts farm 200 acres of corn andhay and are currently milking 50

Holsteins. They have about 35 calvesand heifers, and use shredded paper forbedding — that is purchased from asupplier in Gloversville, NY. “We find wehave much better results using shred-ded paper for bedding,” Rob reports.

In addition to the construction for thenew barn, the farm is currently in-stalling a waste storage facility, and al-so implementing other beneficial envi-ronmental practices with the help of theMontgomery County Soil and WaterConservation District.

Dygert’s Dairy of Distinction prac-tices and advocates preventative carewith their herd, and is an active mem-ber of the New York State Cattle HealthAssurance Program (NYSCHAP). Theprogram is sponsored by the New YorkState Department of Agriculture andMarkets and promotes “Animal Health,Food Safety, and Environmental Stew-ardship.”

In addition to working on the farm,Shannon is also employed by CornellCooperative Extension. Both she andRob belong to Montgomery County’sYoung Farmers group, which is headedup by Melissa Potter, AED Program Co-ordinator.

The group consists of about 20 youngfarmers who meet monthly. “There isusually a guest presenter, but

sometimes we just get together to havefun, share ideas, and talk,” Shannonexplains. “We have also had a few farmtours. Some examples of presenters wehave had are Crop Growers Insurance,Forage Quality, Feed Representatives,and others.” The group usually meetsonce a month except for the months ofMay and September when the farms arethe busiest.

Dygerts share some advice with otheryoung farmers — or farmers just begin-ning to get into the agricultural busi-ness. “Don’t be afraid to ask for helpand advice along the way,” Shannon ad-vises. “Pay attention to the cows andthey will take care of you. Work some-place else to get experience and ideasbefore returning home or starting yourown place.” Rob reports working atDykman Brother’s for 8 years and gain-ing much knowledge and experiencethere before returning to take overDygert Farms — when milk prices wereat an alarmingly low rate.

“We started on our own at low milkprices, and we are still going and grow-ing!” Shannon affirms.

On Aug. 3, the Vermont District Courtapproved the Dean Foods Settlement in-volving the price of Grade A milk pro-duced and sold in the Northeast. Theclass action antitrust lawsuit brought bya class of northeast dairy farmersagainst Dean, Dairy Farmers of America(DFA) and Dairy Marketing Services(DMS) was filed in August of 2009. Thefarmers reached a settlement agreementwith Dean Foods Company in December2010, including $30 million in monetarydamages. The final settlement had to beapproved by the federal court, which hastaken over seven months.

In the final settlement, the Courtawarded all of the Plaintiffs’ costs of $1.5million but only awarded $4.5 million infees, out of the $8.5 million requested bythe attorneys for the plaintiffs. Thus, theattorneys will get $6 million or 20 per-cent of the settlement amount, as op-posed to the 33 percent requested. TheCourt denied the requests for incentiveawards for the class representatives and

an award of accrued interest on the set-tlement fund. Consequently, approxi-mately $24 million will be provided to el-igible dairy farmers in the defined class.

All past and present dairy farmers inVermont should have received a mailing

regarding this settlement and the dead-line is approaching for dairy farmers todetermine if they will take part in the set-tlement or not. “It is important for all Ver-mont Dairy Farmers to carefully consid-er their options regarding this settle-ment,” stated Deputy Secretary DianeBothfeld. Dairy farmers’ legal rights areaffected whether or not they act. Infor-mation, claim forms and a clear descrip-tion of the settlement is available atwww.NEDairySettlement.com or you cancall 888-356-0258 for information. If youwish to receive a payment from the

Settlement you must complete and re-turn a claim form and state the amountof Grade A milk produced and pooled inthe Northeast between January 1, 2002and May 23, 2011. The form is due byAug. 23, 2011. The settlement forms arevery straightforward and most farmersshould be able to complete them withoutoutside assistance.

The Vermont Office of the AttorneyGeneral reviewed the settlement andmonitored the proceedings, and in a let-ter to the Court did not object to thesettlement.

Farmers encouraged to apply toCooperative Extension

Cornell Cooperative Extension is nowaccepting applications from dairyfarms in Lewis, Jefferson, and St.Lawrence Counties for its Dairy ProfitTeam program. The program, funded bythe Development Authority of the NorthCountry, seeks to establish ten newteams in the region.

A Profit Team is a team of advisorsthat regularly meets with farm ownersto work through established challengesand opportunities and develops strate-gies for long term business success.Team members typically include veteri-

narians, nutritionists, lenders, financialconsultants, other farmers, and cooper-ative extension educators. Decisions ul-timately are always made by the farmer.

Previous programs around New YorkState have demonstrated the signifi-cant positive impact that a Profit Teamcan have on a dairy business. Mostteams, once established, continue tomeet without external sources of fund-ing because farmers see their value.

Jim Wright, Executive Director of theDevelopment Authority, notes: “Thesefunds will help expand this successfulprogram throughout the three-countyregion through improved operating effi-

ciencies in one of our most valued busi-ness sectors, the dairy industry.”

Applications will be accepted on arolling basis until funding runs out;therefore farmers are encouraged to ap-ply early.

Onefairly interesting onedealt with identifying thesource of airborne dust.Kind of like on those po-lice detective showswhere dried mud on avehicle, alleged to beused in committing acrime, showed that thesubject vehicle was 99.3percent likely to havebeen parked in a specificSequoia forest in Califor-nia during a sand stormthree days earlier. Thisairborne dust linkshowed that dust couldbe identified, by its min-eral and bacterial make-up, as having come froman agricultural soil or anunpaved gravel road, oreven someplace else. Buteven more interestingwas a link to this link,which was titled “Chick-en Manure BiodegradesCrude Oil in Contami-nated Soil”. The accom-panying article appearedin Science Daily, and I’lltry to hit the high spotsof that story.

Chinese research sci-entists have discoveredthat chicken manure canbe used to biodegradecrude oil in contaminat-ed soil. Writing in the In-ternational Journal of En-vironment and Pollution,the team explains howbacteria in chicken ma-nure break down 50 per-cent more crude oil thansoil lacking the guano.The term “guano” comesfrom a Spanish wordmeaning dung, or morespecifically, the excre-ment of seabirds, cave-dwelling bats, and evenseals. The Chinese re-searchers lumped chick-en manure in the guanocategory. Guano is oneheck of an organic fertil-izer. But more than that,it has unique buildingproperties: it is a little-known fact that a SouthAmerican bird, the Peru-vian booby makes itsnest out of guano. Welearn something newevery day.

But back to China,where Huiwen Ma, BelloYakubu, and ChuYuZhang of Wuhan Univer-sity, determined that

contamination of soil bycrude oil occurs aroundthe world because ofequipment failure, natu-ral disasters, deliberateacts, and human error.Conventional approach-es to clean-up comewith additional environ-mental costs. Deter-gents, for instance, be-come pollutants them-selves and can persist inthe environment long af-ter any remediation ex-ercise is complete.

An environmentallyfriendlier approach isthrough bioremediation,which uses natural orengineered microbesthat can metabolize theorganic components ofcrude oil. Stimulatingsuch microbial degrada-tion in contaminated soiloften involves the use ofexpensive fertilizers con-taining nitrogen andphosphorus, and maycome with an additionalenvironmental price tag,despite the “bio”, or“green”, label. Soil hard-ening and a loss of soilquality often accompanythis approach.

Ma and colleaguessuggest that animalwaste, and in particularchicken manure, mayprovide the necessarychemical and microbialinitiators to triggerbiodegradation of crudeoil if applied to contami-nated soil. One impor-tant factor is that chick-en manure raises the pHof soil to the range 6.3 to7.4 which is optimal forthe growth of known oil-utilizing bacteria.

In tests, the Chineseworkers added chickenmanure to soil contami-nated with 10 percentvolume to weight ofcrude oil to soil. Theyfound that within twoweeks almost 75 percentof the petroleum spillwas broken down in soilwith the use of our fine-feathered- friends’ con-tributions. However, ad-ditive-free soil (with nopoultry poo) was natu-rally remediated by justover 50 percent. Theteam carried out a mi-crobial analysis of theirsamples and identified21 different microbialspecies known as aero-bic heterotrophs. They

explained that Bacillusspecies andPseudomonas aerugi-nosa were the best oil-munching microbes, butof the 21 cultured micro-critters 12 could metab-olize, i.e., biodegrade,components of crude oil.Although there were oth-

er microbes involved inthe petroleum clean-up,the most prevalentspecies were in theBacillus genus.

“The use of chickenmanure to stimulatecrude oil biodegradationin the soil could be oneof the several sought-af-ter environmentallyfriendly ways of abatingpetroleum hydrocarbonpollution in the naturalecosystem,” Ma et al.concluded.

Returning mentally toTexas, where my lead for

this story originated, mymind goes much furtherback to my 22 months ofactive military duty inthat state. Some peopleassigned with me on thatparticular Air Force in-stallation, complained,wishing they had beenstationed elsewhere. Atthe time we were involvedin a war in the Far East(right next to China).Complainers were oftentold, “Shut up… youcould be reassigned to HuFlung Dung Air Base”,which, to the best of my

knowledge, did not exist.Then referring again

to the Chinese re-searchers, who really doexist, it becomes quiteevident that they wereprophets as well as sci-entists. Ma and his bud-dies mentioned that,among other things, oilspills are caused byequipment failure. Theirwrite-up appeared inScience Daily on March9, 2009, some 13months before the Deep-water Horizon disasterin the Gulf of Mexico.

You should always contact your vet forveterinary advice. I am not a veterinari-an and do not prescribe treatment. I amjust suggesting some things you maywish to discuss with your vet — thingsthat seem to work best for me.

With breeding season just around thecorner this is a good time to reviewsound breeding practices. When a doedoesn’t breed, has single kids or aborts,it is money spent with no return to you.Sound breeding preparation which in-cludes evaluating the animal’s size,conditioning and health, can improveyour bottom line profits.

Size and Body Condition Matters -The general rule of thumb has alwaysbeen to breed a doe at seven months or

70 pounds, regardless of size and scale.Vets are now recommending that a doebreeds when she reaches 70-75 percentof her mature weight. This means, if youexpect your doe to weigh 150 poundswhen mature, she shouldn’t be breduntil she weighs approximately 105pounds. If the doe is too small whenbred she tends to produce single kids,takes longer to reach her matureweight, and, in some cases may neverreach her potential size. Additionally,her small pelvic structure may causeproblems when kidding.

Conditioning is also important. Ifyour animals are too fat they may ex-perience difficulties breeding, conceiv-ing, and birthing their kids. Femalesthat have bulges of fat on their brisketor right behind their front legs also

have fat surrounding their internal or-gans. Fat does may not conceive aseasily and tend to develop Ketosis,which is life threatening for both momand kids. Ketosis occurs generally inthe late stages of pregnancy. A fat doemay also have problems during thebirthing process. Similar problemsmay occur with a doe that is too thin.She may not conceive in a timely man-ner and can develop Ketosis as well.

A skinny doe is one whose rib cage isvisible and her backbone is sharp look-ing. When a doe is carrying multiplekids, she burns a lot of energy to feedher kids and with too little conditioningshe is not able to care for herself, passnutrients to her kids and may have lit-tle or no milk for her kids when born.

Body condition is also important forbucks. A buck that is too fat may nothave the sexual drive to breed does orhave the stamina to cover a larger num-ber of does in short time. Bucks that gointo the breeding season overly thin canbe a problem also. Bucks tend to eatless when breeding does and over thecourse of the breeding season lose con-siderable weight. For a yearling buckstarting the breeding season with goodbody conditioning is even more impor-tant. The young buck must not only eatnutritiously for semen production andmating stamina, but to continue hisgrowth. If the young buck is not in ex-cellent condition at the time of breedingnot only will he have more difficultybreeding the does in a timely mannerbut also his growth may become perma-nently stunted.

Parasite Control - A heavy internalparasite load can and will wreak havocwith your breeding program. Worms area major contributor to poor body condi-tion and will reduce a buck’s sexualperformance. A heavy parasite load inyour does will interfere with the doe’sconception, pregnancy and birthingprocess. When a doe is battling wormsher kids are not getting enough nutri-ents to grow properly or even survivethus causing abortions. If you suspect aheavy worm load treat the animal beforebreeding or flushing.

Foot Trimming - Ensure your goats’feet are properly trimmed two to threeweeks prior to putting the buck with thedoes. A buck with sore or overgrown feetmay have trouble covering does or maynot want to mount does at all. This alsoapplies to your does. If a doe has sorelegs and feet she may not be willing tostand for the buck or her legs may notsupport her when the buck mounts hercausing hip injury.

Flushing Does - Flushing is done toincrease the number of kids per doe.Flushing is accomplished by graduallyincreasing the doe’s food intake approx-imately one month prior to breeding.This can be accomplished by increasingher grain ration or putting the doe in alush, nutritious pasture. By improvingher nutrition the doe gains weight andher ovulation rate tends to increase.Flushing seems to work better with doesin poorer body condition than withthose in excellent condition.

Minerals - It is impor-tant that your goats havecontinual access to theproper mix of mineralsand loose salt. Both min-erals and salt should befed free choice. Breedingis stressful for both buckand doe and free choiceminerals help to keep thedoe’s and buck’s nutri-tion in balance. This isespecially important forbucks to help preventurinary calculi. The likeli-hood of urinary calculiincreases when thebuck’s eating and drink-ing patterns change, asthey will when breeding,and access to properlybalanced minerals andsalt will help prevent this.

One often overlookedmineral is selenium. It is

critical that your does re-ceive an adequate amountof selenium. Generally,the soils in the northeastare selenium deficient andif the goat does not have asufficient amount in hersystem, she may die dur-ing the last few days of herpregnancy, abort late inthe pregnancy or havekids that display whitemuscle disease, or “floppykid” syndrome.

Vaccination - If youvaccinate, about a monthprior to delivery is a goodtime to supplement yourdoe with vitamin E/Sele-nium as well as Clostridi-um Perfringes Type CDT.These supplements arepassed to the kids in thewomb and through theirmother’s milk and help

protect them, but it isrecommended that new-borns also receive a vita-min E/Selenium boosterwithin 24 hours of birth.

Breeding Cycle - Doesgenerally come in heatevery 17-23 days andtheir heat period will last,on average, 24-72 hours.If your buck is matureand is running with 20-30 does you should planon keeping him with thedoes 45 days. This willcover two cycles. A greatway to know if your doewas bred is to mark yourbuck’s chest wall (be-

tween his two front legs)with a marking product.When the buck mountsthe doe he will leave amark on the doe’s back.Mark it down on your cal-endar, and then you havean excellent idea of whenyour doe will kid — gener-ally 150 days give or taketwo to three days. Know-ing when your doe is dueto kid allows you to bettermonitor your does. Enjoyyour goats — your enjoy-ment is part of the profit.

by Terry GilbertMore than 30 percent

of U.S. farmers andranchers are women andtheir numbers continueto grow. Fortunately, op-portunities for womeninvolved in today’s agri-culture are virtually un-limited. But some chal-lenges still remain. Thatis why the Farm BureauWomen’s LeadershipCommittee strives to em-power women to usetheir enthusiasm, dedi-cation and talent tochange perceptionsabout agriculture, familyfarms and ranches andthe role of women inthese arenas.

Our efforts to influenceperceptions include co-ordinating educationalprograms in rural com-munities in addition tooffering leadership devel-

opment programs thatare open to all Farm Bu-reau women.

Women’s Communica-tions Boot Camp, whichwe have held annuallyeach summer since 2007,is one opportunity weprovide for women in agri-culture from across thecountry to improve theirskills. All of those selectedto participate share thesame goal, to become bet-ter communicators.

An impressive group of16 women participatedin two and a half days ofintensive training thisyear, pulled together byAFBF’s professionalstaff, who take a greatinterest in helping FarmBureau Women improvetheir skills.

It was amazing to see agroup of strangers cometogether, bond through

sharing intense trainingexercises and leave just afew days later with friendsthat will last a lifetime.

Although we strive tokeep the program fresheach time it is offered,public speaking, mediatraining, effective use ofsocial media and tips forseeking elected office areamong the staple topicscovered each year atBoot Camp.

One of the most excit-ing things about BootCamp is hearing fromthe participants abouthow they plan to usetheir skills to reach outto consumers who havequestions about foodproduction and whatthey do on their farmsand ranches.

We’re also very inter-ested in how graduatesof earlier classes are us-

ing their skills, whichprompted us to launch aBoot Camp group onFacebook. It has beengratifying to see womenposting in their ownwords about what theytook away from the pro-gram and the creativeways they’re reachingout to consumers.

“It opened my eyes tojust how powerful ourpersonal experiences areto those who are severalgenerations removedfrom the farm or ranch,”explained Melinda MarleyJackson of New Mexico.

“It is one of the mostlife-altering workshops Ihave ever attended. Itwas so worth the time!”wrote Kim AllegoodBrown of Georgia.

“I am still using every-thing I learned,” saidCindi Allen of Nebraska.

Giving hope to those

with a very common fear,public speaking, KatieRamagos of Louisiananoted, “It’s fast-pacedand a lot of information,but worth every second ofit. I am now comfortablespeaking to any sizegroup and really enjoy it.”

It’s clear that womencontinue to be a rich re-source for agriculture,

Farm Bureau and theirlocal communities!

Kentucky farmer TerryGilbert chairs the Ameri-can Farm BureauWomen’s LeadershipCommittee, which spon-sors Farm BureauWomen’s CommunicationsBoot Camp each 1July.

at 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. andWednesday at 5 p.m.

• The Animal Compost-ing Tour, sponsored bythe state’s Bureau of Ani-mal Health and Diagnos-tic Services, includes a30-minute seminar withinstruction on the techni-cal aspects and regulato-ry considerations of on-farm carcass composting.The seminar will be fol-lowed immediately by abus tour to a workingcarcass compost pile onsite. The seminar will beheld Tuesday andWednesday at 2 p.m. inthe upper level of the redbarn across from thecorn crib.

• The American Chest-nut Foundation PlantingsTour provides a 75-minute review of the his-

tory and demise of theAmerican chestnut treeand the foundation’srestoration program.Buses to the state’slargest chestnut orchardleave daily at 10 a.m., 1p.m. and 3:30 p.m., andWednesday at 5 p.m.

Sponsored by PennState’s College of Agricul-tural Sciences, AgProgress Days is held atthe Russell E. LarsonAgricultural ResearchCenter at Rock Springs,nine miles southwest ofState College on Route45. Hours are 9 a.m. to 5p.m. on Aug. 16; 9 a.m. to8 p.m. on Aug. 17; and 9a.m. to 4 p.m. on Aug. 18.Admission and parkingare free. Free shuttle busservice between the Ag

by Linda Tripp, Extension EducatorMuch is written about how Ameri-

cans no longer cook at home. Thisyear’s Columbia County Fair finds overfifty 4-H contest participants ready todispel this thought! They are partici-pating in one or more of the four foodsand nutrition-related contests duringthe fair. They all take place at Colum-bia Hall, just inside the Route 203 gateto the fairgrounds in Chatham.

It is always fun to learn more aboutone’s family heritage. Our 4-H mem-bers will be exploring their family her-itage as they participate in the CreativeCookery Contest on Sunday, Sept. 4beginning at 1:30 p.m. This year’stheme, “Breakfast Outside the Box”,will provide lots of new ideas for fairgoers. 4-H members will prepare arecipe they have researched from startto finish, right in front of your eyes.They will be available to answer anyquestions about their recipes andpreparation techniques. Judges willtalk with contest participants as theyprepare their dishes, as well as tastethe finished products.

The Brown Bag Lunch Contesttakes place on Saturday, Sept. 3, at11 a.m. 4-H members put togetherwhat they would consider a typicalcarried lunch — for school or on atrip. They need to create an attractivemeal plan and must be able to sharethe basic nutrients found in the foodsincluded. Of course, food safety rulesmust also be considered.

Pizza seems to have joined hot dogsand hamburgers as an “All-American”food. 4-H members will share their en-thusiasm for their favorite food by par-ticipating in the All American PizzaContest. Participants will constructtheir favorite red, white or blue pizza athome and then display it appropriatelyfor the judges. The categories stand forthe traditional tomato sauce-coveredpizza, the basic cheese and garlic stylepizza and, anything goes for the bluepizza (and it need not be blue). Thiscontest steps off at 2:30 p.m. on Satur-day, Sept. 3.

Monday, Sept. 5 at 1:30 p.m., findsthe 4-H members putting their deco-rative techniques on display with theCreative Place Setting Contest. Partic-ipants will create their own table set-ting, fitting a theme of their ownchoosing. Along with the table service,table covering and centerpiece theparticipants create an appropriatemenu to fit the theme. The place set-tings will be dismantled after the con-test so come and get some ideas foryour next party.

The Columbia County Fair is a show-case for 4-H members to share theirnew-found skills with others. Theseskills are learned from volunteer lead-ers, parents and others who teachthem using the 4-H project materialsavailable to them.

School turns 100years old

I wonder what ourschool’s forefatherswould say if they saw ourschool today? Eventhough we are the small-est school district in thecounty, no other schoolcan boast of a biggerheart. It all started 100years ago when farsight-ed residents envisionedthe need for a new schoolthat would accommodateas many students aswanted to gain a highereducation.

The 1911 building wasoriginally a two story,eight classroom highschool with centralheating and runningwater. A far cry fromwhat many of the stu-dents were accustomedto in their one room ru-ral school houses. Atthe time, most of theschool board memberswere farmers, includingthe doctor that was the

president at the time.In 1939, with the con-

struction of a new mod-ern building, we becamethe 200th school districtin New York State to becentralized by eventuallyconsolidating 27 dis-tricts. Since then, manyother additions havebeen added… but all ofthese buildings are con-tinuous, meaning thatthey are all in one loca-tion and connected foreasier accessibility andmaintenance.

This was all made pos-sible by the foresight ofthe board of educationwhen they purchasedthree connecting farmswith a total of 190 acres.This gave the district notonly a nucleus of possi-bilities for future expan-sion, but also facilitiesfor the agriculture pro-gram that became one ofthe finest for 50 years.The farm was central forgiving the students first

hand experience, plusproviding food for theschool’s lunch programfor years. We even had afull-fledged school fairfrom 1941-1956, whichwould have rivaled somecounty fairs, with atten-dance up to 10,000 peo-ple per year.

Today, we are fortu-nate to have a very mod-ern facility with a swim-ming pool and sportscomplex. Our sports pro-grams were recently rat-ed by ‘Business First’ asone of the best for thebucks, in our area. Also,our academic and musicprograms have never

taken a back seat.But after all this, the

one thing that I person-ally believe the area thatwe have excelled in themost is our Alumni As-sociation. I don’t know ofa more active one of itskind that consistentlyshows the real true spir-it of our small ruralschool. They have a year-ly banquet with around300 people in atten-dance, where they honorin 10-year increments,all the honor classes.

They have a mailinglist of over 3,500 a yearthat they keep in touchwith. But what makes

this association so re-markable are the schol-arships to alumni thatthey give out each andevery year. In 2011alone, they gave out$22,000 worth of schol-arships to deservinggraduates to furthertheir college education.To me, that is a tidy sumfor a large school, but fora school this size, it’snothing short of remark-able. It shows the impor-tance that is placed onattaining as much edu-cation as possible.

Another interestingfact is that a formerteacher, Miss M.P., who

was for years the alum-ni’s executive secretary,would also be 100 yearsold in 2012. I know thatshe would be proud ofthese folks that havecarried on her dream ofhelping as many stu-dents as possible withadvanced education. Shealways stated, “You nev-er know which one of ourstudents might discoverthe cure for that dread-ful disease, cancer!”

Happy 100th Birthday,B.C.S.!

It is possible to giveaway and become richer!(Proverbs)

Picnic foods taste ohso good!

I am sure we all have adifferent list of foodswhen we think of picnicfare. For us, there arethe traditional hot dogsand hamburgers, pluswhatever else we can puttogether. We almost al-ways have baked beans.There are several differ-ent recipes I use forthose but my favoriteone is one that must beset overnight.

When I was a child mymother belonged to asmall pinochle club.There were usually twotables and yes, theycompeted for prizes.Every summer the clubhad a picnic with thefamilies included. I lovedto be able to go to thatbecause many of themembers had children,too. Mrs. Nevins alwaysmade the baked beans. Iremember when I askedher if I could have herrecipe. She put it on acard and gave it to mymother at one of themeetings. After that wealways made Mrs.Nevins baked beans.

When I say that theyset overnight I meantthat the whole beanshad to soak in water be-fore you could begin tocook them. They werewell worth the effort.

Another thing I think ofis the salads. Usuallykeeping things cold wasnot an issue for us sincemany picnics were heldat relatives homes. Potatosalad is my favorite. Imake potato salad likemy grandmother did, butwith a couple of twists. Ifyou are a regular readeryou probably remember

that I have mentioned be-fore that while my grand-mother was an excellentbaker, she was just so —so with her cooking. Ihave tweaked the recipeand made it my own.When my children speakof potato salad they referto my version.

I cannot wait for sum-mer to be able to enjoygood potato salad. Partof our Christmas Evesmorgasbord is potatosalad. It really does gogood with either ham orturkey. I think the rea-son I started making po-tato salad for Christmaswas because I couldmake it ahead of timeand let it set. It made mypreparation that mucheasier after our Christ-mas Eve church service.

We also enjoy maca-roni salad. If I need a sal-ad quickly, I usuallymake macaroni becauseI can cool it with coldwater so it can be put to-gether faster. I makemany types of macaronisalad. Sometimes I dopasta salad with Italiandressing as the mixer.Sometimes I make maca-roni salad with eggs,grated carrot, and otherassorted vegetables.Sometimes I make maca-roni salad with tuna fish.I even make macaronisalad with chicken.When I make the chick-en variety I add fruitsuch as grapes and ap-ples. We do not wait forsummer to arrive to en-joy these either.

When I think of thetuna salad it takes meback to a particularFourth of July when wewere not finished withthe haying. There was no

possibility of us getting tothe local parade or fire-works. That day I mixedup my macaroni saladand planned a specialtreat for the children sothey would not feel badabout missing the localfestivities. I let themmake the old-fashionedtri-corner hats, then, I in-volved them in a scav-enger hunt. Since theywere not old enough toread very well I drewsmall pictures for them tofollow. They ran fromspot to spot around theyard picking up theirclues. When they got tothe last one it directedthem to the freezer to findsome homemade root

beer popsicles. It was aFourth of July celebra-tion they still talk about.

Quite often we have arelish tray and a plate offruit for our picnic. Theyoung children reallylike the raw vegetablesand fruit.

When the children werereally little I usually maderice pudding to take tofamily picnics — that wayI knew there was some-thing on the table thatthey could eat. We weregood Swedes. We likedour rice pudding. Weusually ate it warm aspart of the main course.

If the early apples hap-pened to be ripe I madefresh applesauce. If you

do not care for the storebought variety, try mak-ing your own. It is reallyeasy to do. I especiallyliked the applesaucemade with the early ap-ples because it was solight colored. There wereno short cuts with thisthough. The apples hadto be peeled and cut upor thee were slivers ofskin throughout.

Our picnic fare variedwith our guests. Every-one brought something.Usually dessert wassomething simple. Wemight have cookies orcake squares. I have sev-eral recipes for cakesquares, too. I always liketo make those because

they travel well. You popa cover over the pan andyou are out the door.

We are still working onour menu for the fair,but I volunteered to cookthe first meal. We arehaving traditional picnicfood. The hot dogs andbuns are packed as wellas the rest of the fixings.We will have bakedbeans, raw vegetables,and macaroni salads. Isure hope there aresome leftovers for lunch-es at the fair.

The July Federal orderClass III benchmark milkprice jumped $2.28, to arecord high $21.39 perhundredweight (cwt.), ac-cording to the AgricultureDepartment. That’s $7.65above July 2010, thehighest since July 2007,$2.04 above California’scomparable 4b cheesemilk price, and equatesto about $1.84 per gallon.The 2011 Class III aver-age now stands at$17.68, up from $13.60at this time a year ago,and compares to just$10.16 in 2009 and$18.24 in 2008.

The August Class IIIprice will likely be thepeak for the year at arecord $21.50, if theCME futures contract isany indication. That’swhat it was trading atlate Friday morning. TheSeptember contract wasat $20.19, October;$19.10, November;$18.27 and December at$17.44. Those priceswould result in a 2011average of $18.36, upfrom $14.41 in 2010,

$11.36 in 2009, and$17.44 in 2008.

The July Class IV priceis $20.33, down 72 centsfrom June, but $4.58above a year ago.

The NASS-surveyedcheese price averaged$2.1243 per pound, up22.4 cents from June.Butter averaged$2.0304, down 9.8cents. Nonfat dry milkaveraged $1.6159, down3.6 cents, and dry wheyaveraged 54.94 cents, up2.6 cents.

California’s July 4bcheese milk price is$19.35, up 56 centsfrom June, $5.98 abovea year ago, and equatesto about $1.66 per gal-lon. Its 2011 averagenow stands at $16.20,up from $12.44 at thistime a year ago, but thegap widened again be-tween it and the Federalorder Class III price. Thedifference this year hasvaried from 8 cents be-low the Class III in Feb-ruary to $2.64 below inMarch. The July 4a but-ter powder price is

$20.07, down 72 centsfrom June, but $4.45above a year ago.

Those futures pricesmay sound great but it’sthe bottom line that real-ly matters and thatlooked a little better inJuly as well, according toUSDA’s latest Ag Pricesreport. Increased milk

prices covered rising feedcosts. The All-Milk pricewas estimated at $22.10per cwt., up 90 centsfrom June, and the high-est ever.

The cost of feed to pro-duce 100 pounds of milkwas $11.57, up 29 centsfrom June, according tothe CME’s Daily Dairy

Report (DDR). Corn in-creased 8 cents, to $6.46per bushel, soybeanswere up 20 cents, to$13.40 per bushel, andalfalfa hay was up $9, to$189 per ton.

All three were recordhighs, according to theDDR, which added; “Ris-ing milk prices left in-

come over feed costs of$10.53 per cwt., 61cents per cwt. higherthan June.” “Over thelast 10 years, incomeover feed costs has aver-aged $9.09 per cwt.,” theDDR said.

Cryan points out that “Feed costs haverisen since a month ago, but so haveprojected Class I milk prices, driven byrising cheese values.” As a result,Cryan does not see any MILC pay-ments to dairy producers for this fiscalyear, which ends September 30.

Meanwhile; the cash block cheeseprice closed the first Friday in Augustat $2.1325 per pound, down 2 1/4-cents on the week, but 53 cents above

a year ago. Barrel closed at $2.1350,up a half-cent on the week, and 563/4-cents above a year ago. Sixteencars of block traded hands on the weekand one of barrel. The ever laggingNASS-surveyed U.S. average blockprice inched a half-cent higher, to$2.1062, while the barrels averaged$2.1344, down 0.2 cent.

Butter closed the week at $2.1025,up a quarter-cent, and 25 1/4 cents

above a year ago. Six cars were sold.NASS butter averaged $2.0085, down1.8 cents. NASS powder averaged$1.5832, up 2.9 cents, and dry wheyaveraged 55.91 cents, up 0.9 cent.

California’s Milk Producers CouncilJuly 29 newsletter questions whethercurrent butter production being af-fected by the hot weather plus stockson hand will be sufficient to fully sup-ply domestic and export demand.Heavy demand for cream for otheruses is pulling product away from thechurns, it said, and “While butterstocks have risen sharply in the lasttwo months, approaching levels of ayear ago, they were not sufficient lastyear, and prices soared.”

The MPC says “Buyers are calculat-ing the odds that butter productionwill be sufficient this fall to supplytheir customers’ needs.” “If they waitand the market busts like last year,they win. If they stock up now and themarket busts they lose. If they hold offbuying, and the market remains tight,they may lose one way or another. Theprice swing last year was a drop of 56cents per pound in four weeks followedby an increase of 60 cents five weekslater,” MPC said.

A buyer for a large grocery retailer inthe Pacific Northwest shared some ofthe same consternation with me. “I canonly wait so long to make a buy,” hesaid. “Do I buy now or wait for theprice to fall?”

Jerry Dryer, editor of the Dairy andFood Market Analyst, told me the U.S.is exporting a lot of butter right nowand inventories are low. He sees littleto no price relief for several monthsand said that some manufacturers

have told him they expect butter to getas high as $2.75 a pound through thefall. By the way, the record high onbutter was $2.81 in September 1998.

Speaking of retailers; the June con-sumer price index for all food is 227.4,up 3.7 percent from June 2010. Thedairy products index is 212.3, up 7.2percent from 2010. Fresh whole milkwas up 10.9 percent; cheese, up 6.9 per-cent; and butter was up 21.7 percent.

Checking the supply side; June butterproduction hit 140.7 million pounds,down 9.5 percent from May, but 20.1percent above June 2010, according toUSDA’s Dairy Products report. Nonfatdry milk output, at 145.7 millionpounds, was off 1.6 percent from May,but 6.4 percent above a year ago.

American type cheese output, at364.4 million pounds, was down 1.8percent from May, and 1.5 percentbelow a year ago. Italian type cheese,at 388.8 million pounds, was down3.3 percent from May, and 4.5 per-cent below a year ago. Total cheeseproduction amounted to 894.1 millionpounds, down 2.3 percent from May,but 1.3 percent above a year ago.

Heat and humidity continue to af-fect the industry. USDA’s weekly milkproduction update says high temper-atures the last week of July stressedcows and milk production declines of10 percent and up were common.

The South has had high tempera-tures but production was at expectedlevels in most cases. Florida had noloads of milk exported that week, thefirst time since November. Heatacross the North Central and Easternregions was detrimental to produc-

tion. California and the Pacific North-west were the exception from hotweather and milk declines. Lowersolids restricted manufacturing alongwith less overall milk.

Class I needs are beginning to see in-creased interest as the opening ofschools will begin in the next fewweeks in some regions. Cream priceswere trending higher due to increasedmanufacturing demand and tightersupplies. But, the overall economy hasmany concerned as to what thatmeans for dairy demand.

World wise; prices continued toweaken in the August 2 Global DairyTrade (Fonterra) auction, according tothe Daily Dairy Report. The weightedaverage price for skim milk powderwas $1.58 per pound, down 20 percentsince June 1. Whole milk powder wasalso $1.58, down 11 percent in the lastthree auctions. The anhydrous milkfatprice was $1.95 per pound, down 24percent since June 1. Cheddar cheesefor industrial use received an averagewinning bid of $1.91 per pound, down2.3 percent from the prior auction.

Meanwhile, the Cooperatives Work-ing Together program announced theacceptance of eight requests for exportassistance from Bongards Creameryand Dairy farmers of America to sell atotal of 7.9 million pounds of Cheddar

cheese to customers in Asia, the Mid-dle East, Central America, and theSouth Pacific. The product will be de-livered through December and raisesCWT 2011 cheese export total to 57.6million pounds.

In politics; after “dealing” with thedebt ceiling, Congress is in recess un-til after Labor Day. National Milk’sgrassroots tour to sell their “Founda-tion for the Future” dairy policy pro-posal also took a break the first weekof August. Dairy Profit Weekly editorDave Natzke reported in Friday’sDairyLine radio broadcast that a road-block in the debt ceiling debate wasopposition to additional taxes, andtaxes are now an added dimension tofederal dairy policy discussions.

During regional meetings to explainthe Federation’s reform proposal, CEOJerry Kozak, said that Foundation forthe Future is not only a better safetynet for dairy farmers, but also is morebudget friendly than current federaldairy programs. He cited Congression-al Budget Office analysis showing newprogram would save the federal gov-ernment about $166 million over thenext five years.

However, the processor’s Interna-tional Dairy Foods Association saidthe program creates new taxes ondairy farmers, by diverting a portion

of assessments farmers would payunder certain conditions, to theU.S. Treasury.

“Federal dairy policy is often a con-tentious issue among farmers,”Natzke said, “And adding the politicalissue of taxes to the discussion, espe-cially in an upcoming election year, issure to heat up the debate.” Thegrassroots tour meets next in Harris-burg, Pennsylvania on August 8;Syracuse, New York on August 10;Ocala, Florida, on August 12; and fin-ishes August 22 in Nashville.

A rose by any other name is still arose, so they say (whoever they are),but that’s not the case with milk. Apopular sports drink calling itself“Muscle Milk” is not milk, according toUncle Sam.

National Milk’s Chris Galen talkedabout it in Thursday’s DairyLine andsaid it was over 10 years ago that theypressed the Food and Drug Adminis-tration to “crack down on the mislead-ing use of terms like rice milk and soymilk that are just imitations of realcow’s milk.”

While the FDA failed to respond toNMPF pleas, the call was reinvigoratedabout 15 months ago, according toGalen, when they provided documentson other products that were misla-

beled, “not only misusing the termmilk but other terms like cheese andyogurt that are dairy specific but arenot made from dairy ingredients.” TheFDA has since warned the manufac-turer of “Muscle Milk.”

Galen pointed out that the label hasbold letters “Muscle Milk” but very fineprint stating that it contains no milk.He said NMPF is gratified the FDA hasfinally taken action against at least onecompany they believe is “playing fastand loose” with the regulations onwhat can and can’t be called milk.”

The law actually states that a prod-uct calling itself milk has to be fromthe lactation of an animal, he ex-plained, and that cheese and yogurtare manufactured from a specific list ofdairy ingredients and does not includebeans, seeds, weeds, nuts, or thingslike that.

He said we’re seeing more of these“imitators,” something NMPF warnedof 10 years ago, “If regulators did notdo a good job of enforcing the letter ofthe law.” These products are often dis-played in or near the dairy case anduse similar packaging that real dairyproducts use, he concluded, but hehopes this “shot across the bow willprevent others from also misappropri-ating dairy terminology.”

WASHINGTON, D.C. —As the final Aug. 16 im-plementation date ofEPA’s Pesticide Contain-er and Containment(PCC) rule nears, themember companies ofCropLife America (CLA),Ag Container RecyclingCouncil (ACRC), Agricul-tural Retailers Associa-tion (ARA), and NationalAgricultural Aviation As-sociation (NAAA) rein-force their commitmentto the safety and stew-ardship of crop protec-tion products through-out their life-cycle, in-cluding safe storage andthe reduction and recap-ture of packaging. Theprimary objectives ofEPA’s rule are to facili-tate the disposal and re-cycling of pesticide con-tainers and protect the

environment from poten-tial pesticide releasesdue to spills and leaks instorage, refilling contain-ers, or dispensing of cropprotection products. In-dustry organizationshave played an activesupporting role in theimplementation of thenew rule, and have ledtraining, the develop-ment of retail center cer-tification for compliancewith storage require-ments, and worked toensure the smooth im-plementation of the ruleso that the objectives aremet and regulatory bur-den is minimized.

The CLA StewardshipCommittee, consisting ofCLA member companies,has developed guidancefor safely cleaning refill-able pesticide containers

for reuse or rededication,and a description of ac-ceptable containers thatmay be provided to re-fillers in order to meetrequirements of the rule.This guidance shouldonly be used if it is au-thorized by the regis-trant of the product inthe container. Electronicversions of these and ad-ditional supporting doc-uments are available onthe CLA Web site atwww.croplifeamerica.org/PCC-Rule.

Pesticides are mostcommonly sold in small(from 2.5 gallons up to

55 gallons) non-refillablecontainers and larger re-fillable containers. Thedistribution of pesticidesin large, refillable con-tainers reduces the vol-ume of contaminatedpackaging that must becaptured and managed.In 2010, approximately25 percent of the volumeof pesticides from CLAmembers was sold in re-fillable packages. Thiseliminated the equiva-lent of more than 10 mil-lion 2.5 gallon jugs. Inaddition, more than 8million pounds of plasticwere recovered from

smaller non-refillablepackaging.

The requirements ofEPA’s PCC rule havebeen phased in since itwas finalized in 2006.The final phase of imple-mentation goes into ef-fect on Aug. 16. Afterthis date, registrants willbe required to incorpo-rate new container man-agement language on thelabels of products re-leased for shipment. Pes-ticide users will be re-quired to follow the newcontainer managementinstructions as soon asthey appear on the la-

bels; stationary tanksand portable refillablecontainers will also berequired to be compliantwith the PCC rule. Thelabels of non-refillablecontainers must have re-cycling or reconditioninginstructions, and refill-able container labels arerequired to list instruc-tions for cleaning thecontainer before it is re-cycled or disposed.

The registrants of cropprotection products thatare shipped in refillablecontainers are also af-fected by the PCC rule.

New Regulations WouldHave Increased Costswith No Significant Bene-fit to TransportationSafety, Efficiency

NCBA commends De-partment of Transporta-tion for taking commonsense approach to agri-cultural transportationregulations and pledgesto continue seeking im-provements in efficien-cy and safety.

WASHINGTON, D.C. —National Cattlemen’s BeefAssociation (NCBA) Man-ager of Legislative AffairsKent Bacus said the U.S.Department of Trans-portation (DOT) made theright decision to walkaway from proposing ad-ditional transportationregulations on America’sfarmers and ranchers.

Bacus said that propos-ing additional regulationswould have resulted innew financial and regula-tory burdens withoutproviding significant im-provements to the safetyand efficiency of trans-portation.

“The safety of cattle,equipment and otherpedestrians on roads is apriority for cattlemen.That is why farmers andranchers invest time andfinancial resources to en-sure their equipmentmeets all current trans-portation standards,” Ba-cus said. “We were con-cerned that the questionsraised by DOT failed torecognize the diversitywithin production agri-culture and would haveimposed unnecessary,

burdensome regulationson cattlemen withoutproviding significant im-provements to a safe andefficient transportationsystem. We commendDOT for recognizing thatnew regulations are un-necessary and we appre-ciate the agency’s com-mitment to commonsense rules for farmersand ranchers.”

According to DOT, theagency received approxi-mately 1,700 commentson the proposal whichwould have expandedthe scope of interstatecommerce, further limit-ed agricultural commer-cial drivers’ license(CDL) exemptions andexpanded the definitionof “implements of hus-bandry or off-road farm

equipment” to bringthese implements underjurisdiction of DOT.

“We have no intentionof instituting onerousregulations on the hard-working farmers who feedour country and fuel oureconomy,” said SecretaryLaHood in a DOT pressrelease. “Farmers deserveto know that reasonable,common sense exemp-tions will continue to beconsistently available toagricultural operationsacross the country.”

Bacus added that whileNCBA had significantconcerns with the ques-tions raised by DOT, theorganization will continueurging DOT to make im-provements to agricultur-al transportation regula-tions. He said NCBA sup-ports standardizing truckweight limits across statelines to improve the effi-ciency of commerce andreduce the number oftrucks on roadways, pro-viding reciprocity agricul-tural waivers for Class Cdrivers’ licenses and im-proving consistency ofregulations of farmersand ranchers who partic-ipate in both interstateand intrastate commerce.

“The U.S. beef indus-

try and all of productionagriculture is extremelydiverse and consists offarmers and ranchers inall 50 states. We need atransportation systemthat allows farmers andranchers to safely andefficiently transporttheir products withoutplacing undue burdenson them,” Bacus said.“It is extremely pleasingthat DOT walked away

from proposing new andexpanded regulations.However, NCBA willcontinue working withthe department to im-prove transportationstandards for cattlemenby improving efficiencyand safety without im-posing additional finan-cial burdens on cattle-men and women.”

ARLINGTON, VA — Incomments filed on July29, American TruckingAssociations said that theFederal Motor CarrierSafety Administration’sdraft 5-Year StrategicPlan “represents a gen-uine effort on the part ofthe agency to listen to,and incorporate, the rec-ommendations of stake-holders,” however, ATAwent on to tell the agencythat, while a good start,the plan does not doenough to address theroot causes of crashes.

“ATA commends FMC-SA for acknowledging theneed to address all enti-ties that affect truck anddriver safety in the trans-portation life cycle, espe-cially the operators ofpassenger vehicles withwhich trucks share theroad,” ATA wrote in itscomments. “However,

while the draft plan ad-dresses these issues, itfalls far short in that itdoes not identify the pri-mary causes of crashesand prioritize counter-measures and solutionsaccordingly.”

“ATA recognizes thatFMCSA’s primary role isto regulate the truckingindustry. However, theagency’s mission is toreduce truck crashes,”ATA said. “While thegoals identified in the

draft plan are certainlylaudable, it is appropri-ate to align these goalswith the agency’s overar-ching object: to reducetruck crashes.”

By minimizing the em-phasis on addressingpassenger vehicle driverbehavior, “FMCSA will,at best, only impact theminority of truck crashes— perhaps less than 30percent — caused bytruck drivers.”

When the long, lazy days of summergive way to the more structured startof a new school year, the mood at yourhouse may be one of resignation, ofcelebration — or both. Chances are,the parents are ready to return to aroutine, however ambivalent thepupils may be. The kids’ first day ofschool is a great time to invite themoms in your circle to a grown-upback-to-school bash, featuring a deli-cious end-of-summer lunch menu.

Set the tone with the right invitation,suggests lifestyle expert Amy Tobin, ofInspired Ideas. She recommends creat-ing a hall pass, report card or certificateof achievement. You may also want togive guests an “assignment” or two:

• Ask each mom to bring a photofrom her school days. You can usethem as part of the décor, and remi-nisce about the styles, trends andfriends of your childhoods.

• Encourage everyone to dress in

their school colors, or spirit wear fromtheir alma maters.

• Party with a purpose. Request thatguests bring a few school supplies tohelp a needy child.

A menu that makes the gradeNo gathering would be complete

without a satisfying menu. Start withPinwheel Steak Skewers, flavorful spi-rals of Certified Angus Beef ® brandtop sirloin or flank steak garnishedwith feta cheese and garden-freshtomatoes and oregano. A breeze to puttogether, Tobin suggests serving thepetite kabobs on small chalkboards.

Summer’s flavors continue to shinewith Grilled Filet with Watermelon andBibb Salad. Certified Angus Beef®brand filet mignon is not only one ofthe leanest cuts, it’s the most tender,too. The salad is easy as A-B-C, 1-2-3to prepare for a party, and especiallydelicious served with crusty bread andherbed butter. Tobin recommendswashing the lettuce, cutting the water-melon and preparing the vinaigretteearly in the day, then grilling the filetslast-minute and assembling the saladwhile the steaks are resting.

No meal is complete without dessert!Tobin says a dessert buffet, full ofbake-sale favorites like cupcakes,brownies and cookies, is sure to earntop honors. Display selections on cakestands, and top cupcakes with sweetmarzipan apples. Be sure to havesome brown paper lunch bags avail-able so guests can take home any left-overs!

Readin’, writin’ … and a really good time!Moms, celebrate a return to school days with a farewell-to-summer feast with friends

(NAPSA) — You start your day full ofenergy, charge through work assign-ments or household tasks all morning,and then break for lunch. You intendto continue that same pace of produc-tivity after lunch, but for some reason,at around 3 p.m., your energy levelstarts to dip. Does this sound familiar?

For a quick energy boost, you wantsomething fast, flavorful and appetiz-ing. Enter honey, a natural energybooster that’s a sweet addition to anyafternoon snack.

Honey provides quick energy and isa source of carbohydrates. At approxi-mately 6 grams of carbohydrates and21 calories per teaspoon, it is ideal fora quick pick-me-up since carbohy-drates are the primary fuel the bodyuses for energy.

“Honey is composed of a unique car-bohydrate composition of natural sug-ars and trace amounts of antioxidants,enzymes, minerals, vitamins andamino acids, making it a smart, natu-ral, energy-filled afternoon snack,”says sports dietitian Mitzi Dulan, RD,CSSD, co-author of “The All-Pro Diet”with Tony Gonzalez. “In fact, for years,sports dietitians have recommendedthat athletes include pure honey intheir pre-exercise meal or snack forthat very reason.”

Honey can be used in many easy-to-make afternoon snacks, whether

you’re at school, work, home or thegym. Combining honey with fruits,vegetables, lean meats, whole grainsand other healthful foods can add toyour total nutrition and give you agreat natural energy boost. Whetheryou’re looking for a surge of energy orjust a sweet reward after a long work-out, honey is a quick, easy and deli-cious all-natural energy source.

For more information about honeyas a natural energy booster and formore honey recipes, visitwww.honey.com. Registered dietician,Mitzi Dulan, a spokesperson for theNational Honey Board, offers a few ofher favorite energy-boosting honey

recipes:Honey Cherry Energy Bars Makes 6 bars1/2 cup honey1/2 cup dried cherries3 tablespoons coconut flakes,

sweetened1 cup whole raw almonds6 dates (pitted)In a high-powered blender, blend

honey, cherries, coconut, almonds anddates on high speed, stirring as needed.Spray an 8 x 8 baking dish with non-stick cooking spray. Put mixture intothe baking dish and flatten with a pieceof plastic wrap on top to prevent stick-ing. Refrigerate for 2 hours. Cut into 6bars.

tainer)Blend and enjoy!Registered Dietitian Mitzi Dulan’s

Natural 3 p.m. Energy Break Survival Tips

1. Staying hydrated throughout theday is an essential tool for maintaininga healthy and active lifestyle. Sincehoney naturally contains about 17percent water, it dissolves easily. Justadd some honey to water for a budget-

friendly sports drink.2. Mix a nut butter and honey, or

honey and light cream cheese, as a dipfor fresh fruits or vegetables for awholesome energy snack.

3. To maintain consistent energylevels throughout the day, select mealswith adequate amounts of proteinsuch as canned salmon, eggs or nutbutters. Take time to prepare an easylunch like canned salmon with mixedgreens or a deviled egg sandwich onwhole grain bread.

4. To keep up your energy, choosehigh fiber foods like whole grains(wheat, rye breads, quinoa) andlegumes (beans, lentils).

5. Breakfast is the most importantmeal of the day and what you chooseto eat sets the tone for the day ahead.Plain or Greek-style plain yogurt witha teaspoon of honey and a handful ofnuts is a nutritious way to kick-startthe day.

6. For a 3 p.m. pick-me-up, try oneof Mitzi’s personal favorite snacks: awhole wheat sandwich thin with nutbutter, sliced banana and honey. It isa delicious way to power through therest of your day.

7. Always aim to eat all-naturalwhole foods that are easy to pro-nounce with simple ingredients suchas honey, strawberries, avocados andspinach.

Beat the afternoon slump with honey - a natural 3 p.m. energy boost

Combining honey with fruits, vegetablesand whole grains can add to your totalnutrition and give you a natural energyboost.

ELMIRA, NY — At a press conferencerecently, Chemung County ExecutiveTom Santulli announced he has re-cently sent a letter to all County lead-ers in the 16 New York counties whichare part of the Chesapeake Bay Water-shed urging their support in bringinglitigation against the United States En-vironmental Protection Agency (EPA).Santulli is proposing this litigation inresponse to the inequity in the pendingEPA regulations regarding the TotalMaximum Daily Load (TMDL) alloca-tion to New York State and the outra-geous financial burden this will placeon counties.

The TMDL in effect is a pollution dietfor nitrogen, phosphorus, and sedi-ment levels for the Chesapeake Baywhich the EPA has allocated to the sev-en jurisdictions, including New Yorkand the District of Columbia. The EPAhas developed these regulations toclean up the polluted Chesapeake Bay.“The unfairness in the EPA’s new reg-ulations is that if the other five statesthat feed the Chesapeake Bay had NewYork State wastewater quality, theChesapeake Bay would not be pollut-ed,” said Santulli.

In Chemung County, the cost of theupgrades to our two wastewater treat-

ment plants would exceed $30 million,with the annual operating and mainte-nance costs associated with the up-grades estimated at $1.8 million. Thecost estimates for the 16 counties inNew York State to meet the standardsis between $2 and $4 billion.

Santulli has received the support ofSenator’s Schumer and Gillibrand, aswell as the eight local Congressmenrepresenting the affected counties, butthe EPA has yet to make amendmentsto the stringent restrictions.

“I believe the only way we can pre-vent this massive financial unfundedmandate from occurring is by retaininga prominent law firm which will bringlitigation against the EPA on our be-half,” said Santulli in his letter. “Eventhough this will be expensive, it willonly be a fraction of the cost that wewould spend to meet the regulationsset forth by the Federal government.”

In addition to wastewater treatmentplants, the EPA regulations wouldhave a devastating effect on the agri-cultural industry within the state.

Once again, New York has made sig-nificant improvements in water quali-ty in terms of per acre loads of nitro-gen and phosphorus, far surpassingthat of any other jurisdiction within

the Bay watershed.Santulli is also urging taxpayers to

join in this endeavor and place addedpressure on our Federal officials who

have the ability to correct this problemand insure that New York State istreated in a fair and equitable manner.

The American Wool Council (AWC) wants to re-mind producers that participation in the indus-try’s wool quality programs requires annual selfcertification. The council continues to encourageall producers to participate in the certified woolclip program in an effort to improve the qualityof the U.S. wool clip. The program is designed tolet purchasers of U.S. wool know what effortsgrowers have taken at shearing time to ensure aquality clip.

“The self-certification program requires the pro-ducer to submit the declaration and checklist eachyear,” said Ron Cole, American Sheep Industry As-sociation consultant. “An annual re-certification of-fers producers the opportunity to review the stepsthat can be followed to improve the quality of a clipand to let the buyers know what steps they have fol-lowed at shearing time to prepare their clip.”

The certified program points out 10 steps that grow-ers can follow to improve the quality of their clip. A fewof the items are:

• minimize contamination;• sort sheep by wool type prior to shearing;• package different types of wool and off-sorts

separately;• use new and approved wool packaging materials;• label wool bales properly and keep a record; and• notify the buyer of the steps taken to improve

the wool clip. The buyers of U.S. wool are also be-ing asked to support the wool quality improvementprograms by asking for certified wool clips.

“The reputation of the U.S. wool clip depends on

the participation of all growers, large or small,” con-tinued Cole. “In order for the wool council programsto be successful, it must start at the farm withquality improvement.”

The forms and information about the certifiedwool clip program are available on the ASI Web site,www.sheepusa.org/Wool_Information, for produc-ers to access and print.

WASHINGTON, D.C. —On Aug. 3, NationalFarmers Union (NFU)President Roger Johnsonspoke on a panel at theAmerican Sugar Associa-tion Sugar Symposiumentitled, “Farm Policy’sFuture: Weathering theStorm in Washington.”The symposium was heldin Stowe, VT.

“The 2012 Farm Billfaces quite a few hur-dles, not the least ofwhich is the budget sit-uation,” said Johnson.“The passage of the debtceiling bill in Congressshould help give us abetter idea of how muchmoney the U.S. House ofRepresentatives andU.S. Senate AgricultureCommittees will have towrite the legislation. Westill do not know exactlyhow much money wewill have to write thenext farm bill. Only timewill tell. We do knowthat there will be lessmoney available for thenext farm bill, so it iscritical that the agricul-ture community comestogether to ensure thatthe next farm bill haseverything we need,even if it doesn’t haveeverything we want.”

Jerry Hagstrom, di-rector and executiveeditor of the HagstromReport moderated thepanel, which featuredJohnson, Mary KayThatcher, director ofPublic Policy for theAmerican Farm Bu-reau Federation, andRick Tolman, CEO ofthe National CornGrowers Association.

“One of the most es-sential things that mustbe included in any farmbill is a strong safety netto protect family farmersand ranchers,” saidJohnson. “The Supple-mental Revenue Assis-tance Payments (SURE)Program has no fundingbaseline past this year,and 36 other farm billprograms, including fourother disaster programs,have no funding pastnext year. We must en-sure that SURE and oth-er disaster programs re-ceive the funding theyneed. Between 1996 and2002, the federal govern-ment made $30 billion inemergency payments tofarmers and ranchersbecause it cut the safety

net from the 1996 FarmBill, written during atime of high prices. Wemust not repeat thatmistake. The cost to ex-tend SURE and otherdisaster programs for

five years is a muchmore reasonable $8.9billion. In the long run,including disaster pro-grams in the farm bill iscost-effective.”

Program marks firststep of “Farm NewYork,” a comprehensiveinvestment in the NewYork State agricultureindustry

Governor Andrew M.Cuomo on Aug. 9 an-nounced the “New YorkFresh Connect Farmers’Markets” (FreshConnect)program, which launchesnew farmers’ markets andexpands others aroundthe State of New York. Theprogram is designed to as-sist New York farmers byincreasing the sale of lo-cally-grown food in com-munities. The programwill also bring fresh foodto underserved communi-ties, improve nutrition ed-ucation, and help createlocal jobs.

The FreshConnect pro-gram marks the first stepin “Farm New York,” theGovernor’s new initiativeto invest in the state’sagriculture industry, a vi-tal component of thestate’s economy. FarmNew York will focus onways to support and ex-pand New York farmsthrough farm productsales, branding, market-ing, distribution, localfood processing innova-tions, and improving thebusiness climate by re-ducing the regulatory bur-den on farmers.

FreshConnect is de-signed to meet the needsof communities. In someplaces, new markets willserve rural or urban com-munities that do not havesufficient access to gro-cery stores; in others,markets will provide low-income, high-unemploy-ment neighborhoods withhealthy, New York-grownproduce, as well as jobsby staffing the marketswith local youth. Othermarkets will provide resi-dents and tourists with anarray of New York farmfresh products.

“Farmers’ markets in-crease farm sales and rev-enue by bringing farmproduce directly to theconsumer,” GovernorCuomo said. “These mar-kets also help under-served communities byproviding fresh produce,nutritional education, andlocal jobs. The FreshCon-nect program empowersall New Yorkers to choosehealthy, affordable, local-ly-grown food. This pro-gram is a win-win forfarmers and consumers.”

Seven new markets arein the process of beinglaunched in Harlem, Nia-gara Falls, Mount Vernon,Queens, the Bronx, Utica,and Sharon Springs.Three new youth markets,which employ local resi-dents, are being launchedin Brooklyn and NassauCounty, and a communi-ty-garden farmers marketis being launched in

Queens. Existing marketsin several other locations,including the large, well-known North Tonawandamarket, and mobile mar-kets in Buffalo, Syracuse,and Central New York,which will deliver farmproduce to senior centersand other central points ofcontact, will accept EBTor food stamps for the firsttime, broadening thereach of these markets tounderserved members ofarea communities.

Under the program, thestate provides the follow-ing services, as needed:offer up to $15,000 infunding per market; iden-tify suitable markets; re-cruit farmers to partici-pate; assist with market-ing, promotion, nutritioneducation, communityoutreach, and other serv-ices; and coordinate withlocal officials and busi-ness groups.

To encourage greaterconsumption of fresh

fruits and vegetables,each market will be as-sisted in redeeming FoodStamps and other nutri-tion incentives, such asWomen, Infants, and Chil-dren (WIC) Fruit & Veg-etable Checks, Farmers’Market Nutrition Programcoupons, and SeniorFarmers’ Market Nutritioncoupons. The state willalso provide new “Fresh-Connect” checks, whichare $2 rebate checks forevery $5 in food stamps

spent at a participatingFreshConnect Farmers’Market.

The Governor’s FarmNew York program is acomprehensive strategyto maximize economicdevelopment opportuni-ties and bring renewedinvestment to the agri-cultural sector of NewYork’s economy. It in-cludes programs to de-velop New York’s regionalfarm-food system, in-crease access to credit

for farm businesses, ex-pand food processing ca-pabilities, and capitalizeon emerging technologiesto lower energy costs andfoster the growth of re-newable energy sources.Farm New York is alsoexpected to increase dis-tribution of New Yorkfarm products and to im-prove the branding andmarketing of New Yorkorganic and New Yorkgrown foods.

UNIVERSITY PARK, PA— Energy is a timely top-ic in Pennsylvania —whether it is biofuel fromplants such as switch-grass, soybean or cameli-na, or natural gas ex-tracted from the Marcel-lus Shale — so it’s nosurprise that energy willbe a focus at Ag ProgressDays, Aug. 16-18.

Show attendees cancollect fact-based andtimely information on is-sues related to MarcellusShale exploration, leasingand drilling from PennState extension educa-tors and commercial ven-dors at the Marcellus

Center on West 10thStreet at the Ag ProgressDays site.

“The development ofthe Marcellus Shale hasimpacted the agricul-tural community inmany ways,” said TomMurphy, extension edu-cator and co-director ofPenn State’s MarcellusCenter for Outreachand Research.

“Our focus this year atAg Progress Days will beto present science-basedinformation on topicsranging from the latestresearch on industryworkforce development toremediation techniques

after pipeline installation,and many other relatedsubjects in between.”

Energy efficiency andconservation will beamong the topics fea-tured in the College ofAgricultural Sciences Ex-hibits Building on MainStreet. Daniel Ciolkosz,extension associate spe-cializing in renewableand alternative energy,and other Penn State ex-perts will staff a displaywhere farmers and home-owners can ask questionsabout assessing currentenergy needs, identifyingalternative energysources and shopping for

a better price.“Energy conservation is

often the smartest way toimprove your bottom lineand make your operationmore friendly to the envi-ronment,” said Ciolkosz.“At Penn State Extension,we are working to helppeople make smart deci-sions about energy useand efficiency.”

Ag Progress Days visi-tors also will have the op-portunity to talk withcommercial exhibitors in-volved in alternative-en-ergy opportunities andconservation. They arethe primary focus for thisyear’s initiation of the En-

ergy Conservation Tenton West Ninth Street. Thearea features vendorswho will showcase prod-ucts, services and educa-tional programs that helppromote new energysources and reduce thecarbon footprint.

In addition, energycrops and biofuels will bethe subject of an exhibit atthe Crops, Soils and Con-servation Tent on EastFifth Street. Informationwill be available aboutseveral varieties of plantsthat can be grown byfarmers in the Northeastand converted into energy.

“Our team is working todevelop bioenergy crop-ping systems that providevalue-added co-productsand soil-conservationbenefits in addition tobioenergy,” said GregRoth, professor of agron-omy, who specializes inenergy crops. “This work

will be on display at AgProgress Days.”

Sponsored by PennState’s College of Agricul-tural Sciences, AgProgress Days is held atthe Russell E. LarsonAgricultural ResearchCenter at Rock Springs,nine miles southwest ofState College on Route45. Hours are 9 a.m. to 5p.m. on Aug. 16; 9 a.m. to8 p.m. on Aug. 17; and 9a.m. to 4 p.m. on Aug. 18.
