by Sanne Kure-JensenThree young women

turned their love of gar-dening into a business. FayStrongin and sisters LauraBrown-Lavoie and Tess

Brown-Lavoie have beenfriends since early child-hood. These recent collegegrads didn’t seek a deskjob but started farming onan abandoned lot just min-utes from busy downtownProvidence, RI.

Since 2011, SidewalkEnds Farm partners withFront Step Farm in a col-laboration called BackyardFarms Urban CSA to sup-ply a 20-member CSA.Each farm grows comple-mentary produce on a for-merly abandoned city lot.Both also sell producethrough the Little CityGrowers Coop. CSA sharesare comparable to halfshares from other farms;this fits city dwellers’needs and their smallkitchens, refrigerators andfamilies.

Division of LaborThe three partners bring

dif ferent strengths andskills to the business. FayStrongin focuses onFarmers Markets, LauraBrown-Lavoie on the CSAand Tess Brown-Lavoie onrestaurant sales.

Benefits of an UrbanSetting

The Farmers Market is

just two blocks away; CSAmembers come to the farmto pick up their shares, sonone of the farm partnersneed or own cars. Bikeswith trailers are used to

deliver produce to nearbyrestaurants and collectfood waste from farmersmarkets and other sites.

Making the best of urbancloseness, these farmersencourage neighbors toadd to the farm’s compostpile. This is a great way tostay connected and to getneighbors onto the farmregularly. Everyone ishappy to reduce their trashhauling needs and to seetheir kitchen scraps recy-cled into next year’s sal-ads.

“We have a network offertility,” said Tess whenshe described a recent biketrip where a driver pulledover and carefully droppeda banana peel into Tess’sbike cart of food waste.

No one can say it is tooquiet or boring at SidewalkEnds Farm. Regular drive-by and open window “con-certs” keep things lively.

The farm chickens werenamed for the farmers’favorite musicians, radiohosts and writers: Aretha,Berry, Goodman &Gonzales and MaryWollstonecraft.

Sidewalk Ends Farm hasbrought back 1950s-styleneighborhood closeness.People routinely lean over

the fence and chat withtheir neighborhood farm-ers. The chickens are verysocial; they love attention(and snacks) from visitors.

City Farming ConcernsKnowing there could be

soil risks, the three part-ners conducted thoroughsoil tests before startingtheir operations in 2011.The front of their chosenlot had building debris andhigh levels of heavy metalsincluding lead. To mitigatethis, they picked up andmoved all the soils fromthe back of the property tocap or cover the contami-nated soils in the front.This part of the propertydoes not grow food withdeep roots, but ratherhouses a chicken pen,raised herb beds with freshsoils and compost, thePortable Wash Station,CSA pickup station and agathering area or fire cir-cle. All soil surfaces arecarefully covered in freshwoodchips the ships mini-mize any potential lead-tainted dust, keep neigh-borhood and visiting chil-dren safe.

Irrigation and wash wateris provided by neighbors inreturn for a CSA share anda loaf of fresh bread eachweek.

Bio-Intensive Farmingand Compost

The back section of the

property has intensively-planted vegetable rows.Every inch needs to pro-vide two to three crops peryear. Tight, staggered rowshelp increase outputs insmall spaces. When onecrop is harvested, the cropresidue is quickly moved tothe compost piles. 1-2inches of new compost isadded for fertility, and newseeds or transplants areinstalled within a day ortwo.

New compost wasbrought in during the firstfall from Smithfield Peat.Additional material wasadded all winter long(leaves, cof fee grounds,etc) and blended with abroad fork in the springbefore the first seeds andtransplants went in.

Fay is very enthusiasticabout her farm-made com-post. She said, “Compost iskey, because the only timethis land is fallow is whenit is frozen!”

Land SecurityWhile Sidewalk Ends

Farm has a verbal agree-ment with the landowner,they are seeking a morepermanent, long-termlease. A lot of effort hasgone into making this siteviable and safe to farm.Should the farmers have tomove, improved soils wouldbe left behind.

In case a move is needed,some herbs and flowersgrow in portable, repur-posed containers like milkcrates and 5-gallon pails.Eggplants, peppers grow inolive drums.

At a recent Rhode Island

School of DesignCompetition called FarmHack, a Portable WashStation was created withinexpensive of f-the-shelfcomponents. The 5-gallonpails (sinks) can be coveredto make a worktable forsorting and packaging CSAshares. The upper shelfsupports a tarp of feringshade for the produce andfor the farm staff.

Young Farmer Nights Throughout the summer

of 2012, young and begin-ning farmers met on alter-nate Tuesday evenings. Avariety of local farms host-ed Young Farmer Nightsand shared their experi-ences operating small, sus-tainable farms. Internsand farmers establishedpersonal networks of peersand mentors over potlucksuppers, bonfires and sing-alongs. 2012 hosts includ-ed Rosasharn Farm, Pat’sPastured, Scratch Farm,Sidewalk Ends Farm,Medway Community Farmand more.

From the U.S. Department ofAgriculture’s (USDA’s) most recentfunding announcement: USDARural Development is allocatingup to $14 million in grants avail-able for projects that help farmersproduce bio-based products fromagricultural commodities.

The Value-Added ProducerGrants program is designed tohelp agricultural producers enterinto value-added activities. Thesegrants can be used to assist in thefunding of an anaerobic digester ifit is part of a project that addsvalue to an agricultural product.For example, if digested manuresolids are going to be made into acommercial fertilizer product or ifthe methane generated is used to

power the value-added process(milk processing, cheese making).

Awards may be made for eithereconomic planning or workingcapital activities related to theprocessing and/or marketing ofvalue-added agricultural products.The maximum grant amount for aplanning grant is $100,000 andthe maximum grant amount for aworking capital grant is $300,000.USDA requires that every dollar ingrant funds be matched, either inthe form of cash or eligible in-kindcontributions.

The deadline to apply for fundingis Oct. 15. Questions should bedirected to your USDA RuralDevelopment State Office.

In agriculture, we have atendency in marketing tofocus most of our attentionon the hard products weproduce and bring to mar-ket — fruits, vegetables,meat, grains, milk, orcheese. Today’s marketsdemand more attention tothe services and relation-ships associated with mar-keting the actual productitself. The smart marketeris one who not only pro-duces a high quality prod-uct, but also delivers need-ed services and buildseffective relationships withcustomers.

A useful way to examinethese questions of servicesand relationships is tobegin with the old journal-

istic outline of — who,what, where, when, why,and how. We also need tounderstand the distinctionbetween a customer andthe consumer. Our cus-tomers may actually beconsumers if we are directmarketers. But usually arelationship with sometype of intermediary cus-tomer is required to get thefarm product to the end-user, the consumer.Typical intermediary cus-tomers in the food systemcan include: wholesalers,retail supermarket buyers,food service buyers, bro-kers, or processors.

Who are you doing busi-ness with? If you are adirect marketer, know yourconsumer. Who are they inregards to: age, income,residence, family size, gen-der, ethnic group, etc.?How is your consumer basechanging? What serviceswill enhance your relation-ship with your consumers?If you are working withother types of customers,learn about their opera-tions: sales, distribution,

terms of trade, transactionprotocols, etc. How do yourcustomers understand theconsumers that buy yourproducts? What informa-tion about consumers canthey share with you, or youwith them, to assist both ofyou in better serving them?

What makes your prod-uct superior? What differ-entiates your product fromthe rest of the pack? Whatwill make your productmore attractive to yourcustomers or consumers?What will your productbring to the assortment ofproducts your customermarkets? What informationcan you provide along withyour product (nutritionalvalues, recipes, portionsizes, variety, etc.) toincrease sales?

Where will your producthave to end up to effective-ly serve your customers orconsumers? How will yourproduct hold up in transit?Will your product arrive ina package ready for storedisplay or use in thekitchen? Are there anyways to make life easier for

those who buy your prod-ucts in regards to schedul-ing or delivery? Can youbetter coordinate shippingwith other firms shippingsimilar products in yourarea?

When does your productneed to arrive? Time is ofthe essence for all of us.How can you cut your cus-tomer’s time spent receiv-ing or handling your prod-uct? Are there ways tominimize the time yourconsumer (convenientparking, check-out) or cus-tomer (processing invoicesor payment) does businesswith you? Just-in-timedelivery and automatedinventory replenishmentare becoming standardbusiness practices in boththe retail and food serviceindustries.

Why should your cus-tomer do business with youin regards to the servicesyou offer and the value youbring to the business rela-tionship? Why should yoube considered a “preferred”supplier by your customer?Why should your ability to

attract consumers to yourproduct add value to yourcustomers business?

How will you betterunderstand what servicesand relationships will beneeded to insure the effec-tive marketing of yourproducts? In a rapidlychanging marketplace,those services and rela-tionships are changing.How will your servicesincrease the productivityand profitability of yourcustomers?

In summary, smart mar-keters not only deliver highquality products that arerelevant to consumers, butmust also provide valuableservices to build effectiverelationships with cus-tomers. Hopefully, answer-ing some of these ques-tions might shed somelight on how to improveyour marketing capacity.In the haste to produce thehard product itself, don’tforget the needed servicesand relationships that willkeep your product on theshelf, on the plate, or inthe hands of consumers.

Smart Marketing includes services & relationships not just products

by Joe ParzychNo one has to tell farmers that

drought conditions exist. Almost80 percent of agricultural land isexperiencing drought, making itthe most extensive drought sincethe 1950s, according to the USDA.The Mississippi River is beingdredged because it is too low forbarge travel. The increased cost ofshipping commodities to seaportsby rail is sending grain pricesupward. The drought is widespread over much of the world.Russia had a shortfall in theirwheat harvest, again. Australia isalso having a rain deficit.

What is the cause of the droughtand when will it end?Climatologist James Gildea ofBernardston, MA predicted thispast year’s warm dry winter withdrought in the Midwest. He sawindications of the coming droughtin November 2011 after earliernoting that a warming of thePacific began in February of 2011heralding El Nino. In a meetingwith an agricultural committee inBernardston, MA, this spring,Gildea predicted a dry year in theMidwest with very wet conditionsin the Southwest, heavy springrains in the Northeast with dryweather to follow. His predictionswere right on.

“There are many variables,”Gildea said, “but the temperatureof the North Atlantic Ocean is agood indicator of long term weath-er in the U.S. A cold AtlanticOcean results in a blocking ridgeof high pressure which resulted inEngland and Ireland being coveredwith snow last winter. A warmingof the Pacific Ocean off the coastof Peru indicates a beginning of ElNino resulting in drought, amongother things.”

Weather has a direct effect oneconomic conditions. World grainprices are on the rise because ofpoor grain growing conditions inmany countries. U.S. corn andsoybean prices have doubled fromlast year. And then there’s 10 per-cent corn based ethanol in everygallon of gasoline mandated inmany states.

With drought in the Midwestef fecting harvests of corn, soybeans and wheat prices will con-tinue to rise, which is good newsfor farmers who are able to pro-duce a decent crop. The U.S. is theworld’s largest exporter of thesegrains, exporting upwards of 70percent of the total imported byother countries. That figure maygo higher with continuing droughtin other countries.

When will it all end? “There’s nopredicting the end of it,” Gildeasaid. “It may intensify and last upto five years, or longer. El Nino has

lasted for decades. PrehistoricMayans abandoned advancedcities in Mexicobecause of droughtfrom an El Nino thatlasted for decades—20,30, 40 years….”

One of the reasonswhy we may have notseen dust storms in theU.S. during presentdrought conditions, asin the 30’s, is that oneof Roosevelt’s stimulusprograms was to havehis newly formedCivilian ConservationCorps plant millions oftrees to act as wind breaks and tohold the soil, as well as createjobs.

With a cold winter approachingin the U.S., there may be early

frosts whichd r a s t i c a l l yaffect soybeanyields becausecrops may nothave reachedmaturity. WithEl Nino, apoor anchovycatch resultsin increaseds o y b e a np r i c e sbecause thelargest marketfor anchovies

is fish meal. When anchovies arein short supply, grain companiessubstitute soybeans in animal

feed, driving up soybean priceswhich benefits growers.

What can farmers do?Farmers can plant trees for

windbreaks to hold the soil, prac-tice strip farming for soil erosioncontrol and water percolation,practice no-till planting,mulching, and use more efficientirrigation methods.

The Five Acre Farm inNorthfield, MA (which presentlyhas a lot more land under cultiva-tion than five acres) uses trickleirrigation rather than overheadirrigation. They store perennials in“cold houses” to keep them dor-mant to conserve water. In theirfields, they use Typar, a porousblack plastic fabric, that allowswater to percolate through andhelps retain water in the soil whilekeeping out weeds.

John Savage of Deerfield, MA,also has land in Northfield, Gill,Deerfield and elsewhere in aPartnership with Patterson Farms.Savage says they have 400 acresplanted to chip potatoes, 75 acresof hot peppers, and 150 acres ofdisplay pumpkins.

“The drought has hurt us,”Savage said, except where we irri-gated, like in Gill and the otherside of the [Connecticut] River inNorthfield. In Gill, we have about20 acres of hot peppers and 60acres of pumpkins, and 110 acresof chip potatoes in Northfield. Weirrigated about six times.”

Eastern Washington farmerstypically have an annual precipita-tion of just eight and a half inch-es. Farmers there use techniquessuch as summer fallow rotation.One crop is grown on two seasons’precipitation. The farmers thenleave stubble and crop residue totrap snow. They also preventrunoff by terracing their fields, orby contour plowing.

More farmers are turning toGMO drought resistant seed.Drought resistant geneticallyaltered grains may offer a partialsolution to alleviate shortages.Dwarf plants are also being devel-oped that need less moisture butyield as much as their tallcousins.

Farmers can insure their cropswith federally subsidized insur-ance programs.

In the final analysis, Gildeaadmits that no one can predict thefuture with absolute certainty.Floods have sometimes occurredfollowing a drought, as happenedrecently, all in the wrongplaces, but Gildea's forecasts havebeen accurate enough in the pastto warrant paying heed to hiswords of coming drought condi-tions.

Drought

One of the strategies farmers can employ during this drought is effective irrigationmethods, as pictured here.

Sweetening the potThis morning, bright

and early, Uri telephonedme with a feeding man-agement question. He isa Central New York or-ganic dairy farmer whoraises no corn silage andpurchases all of hisgrains, which have beenlargely shell-corn based;thus he makes a lot ofbalage. But with the highcost, and limited avail-ability, of organic shellcorn, his grain dealer hasbeen working more smallgrains into the gristwhich Uri feeds his cows.He is afraid that thischange will reduce netenergy intake for hiscows, resulting in re-duced milk production.He wanted to know if mo-lasses can be economi-cally introduced into hisdairy ration, so as tokeep his cows’ dietaryenergy on an even keel.

A major benefit of mo-lasses is that it can im-prove the palatability offeeds that don’t reallytaste that great. Mo-lasses won’t make an im-perfect feed into a goodone, but it can make itend up in the cow’s di-gestive system more con-sistently. With organiccorn priced at about 25cents per pound, andconventional corn pricedat about 15 cents perpound, these figurescompare to molassesprices: 45 cents perpound for organic, and15 cents for conventional(both approximate). I tellfolks that organic mo-lasses does not provide acheap megacalorie; thusthe benefit of improvedforage intake is prettyimportant. For conven-tional dairymen, the sub-stitution, dollars — andcents — wise is more

even. The other variableentering this equation isthe farm-gate price ofmilk: organic runs about28 cents per pound,while conventional milkbrings about a dime less.Most organic dairymen,with whom I have con-tact, say that if theyweren’t already organic,the cost-price squeezethey’re in now wouldhave scared them awayfrom becoming organic.

Although I’m moreused to balancing the en-ergy part of a dairy cow’sdiet with megacalories,more recent nutritionalresearch has examinedthe usefulness of non-fi-brous carbohydrates asan equally valuable pa-rameter (if you want touse scientist jargon).Clearly milk productionper cow is the major fac-tor determining dairyfarm sustainability andprofitability. According tomany dairy scientists,the inclusion of non-fi-brous carbohydrates(NFC) in the range of 35to 42 percent of dietarydry matter is seen as a

Phil Trowbridge ofTrowbridge Angus,Ghent, NY, and his fami-ly, are believers in thefuture of the Angusbreed through youth, ed-ucation and research,and have used many av-enues to support the An-gus Foundation. The lat-est support effort, ‘Em-

bryos for Education,’ al-lows other Angus breed-ers to join the Trow-bridge family and giveback to the Angus Foun-dation while taking partin the new Angus onlineauction, www.An-gusTradingPost.com.

Nineteen lots of em-bryos are listed on the

online auction by Trow-bridge Angus, and allproceeds from the sale ofthese embryos will bene-fit Angus youth scholar-ships and activities, edu-cational programs forjunior and adult Associ-ation members, and cur-rent and future researchprojects at universitiesacross the country — allof which are funded bythe Angus Foundation.

“On multiple occa-sions, Phil Trowbridgehas taken the lead bymaking personal finan-cial commitments to helpfoster the advancementof a newly implementedfundraising initiative,along with help securethe commitments neces-

sary to bring a fundrais-ing drive to successfulcompletion,” said MilfordJenkins, Angus Founda-tion president. “This gen-erous commitment of do-nating the sale proceedsfrom these embryos isanother illustration ofPhil and his family’s un-selfish ongoing commit-ment to giving back tothe Angus breed that hasmeant so much to themand their family.”

Trowbridge has alsoserved the Angus Foun-dation as a former chair-man of the Angus Foun-

dation Board of Direc-tors. Jenkins says his en-thusiasm and advocacyof the Angus Founda-tion’s value to the Angusbreed and membersacross the country hasbeen an inspiration to allin the Angus breed overthe years.

“The Angus Foundationis in place to support thefuture of the Angusbreed, and donating all ofthe proceeds from thesale of these embryos tothe Foundation is justone way we can provide

more opportunities tosupport Angus breedersand our youth,” Trow-bridge says. “My familyand I believe in the futureof Angus, which is whywe invest in the AngusFoundation.”

popular way to increaseenergy density and thusmilk production. Mostrecently, this recommen-dation is based on re-search conducted andtallied by Jerry H. Cher-ney, PhD., Department ofCrop and Soil Sciences,and Debbie J.R. Cher-ney, PhD., Department ofAnimal Science at Cor-nell University.

One question thatreaders undoubtedlywant to know (but wereafraid to ask) is how isNFC calculated? Well, ac-cording to R. D. Shaver,Professor and ExtensionDairy Nutritionist, Uni-versity of Wisconsin-Madison, here’s how wecalculate non-fibrouscarbohydrate: for a givenfeed, you start by addingthe percent of neutral de-

tergent fiber (NDF) intakeprotein to 100 percent.Then you combine thatfeed’s NDF percent, plusits calcium percent, plusits fat percent, plus itsash percent. Take thesum of those four vari-ables and subtract thatvalue from the shorter(earlier) sum, and thereyou have NFC. [I’m surethis abbreviation is start-ing to make you thinkabout football (NFL) morethan feeding cows.]

Here are some typicalNFC values for feed thatdairymen get to workwith: shell corn at 75percent, ear corn at 64percent, alfalfa at 25 per-cent, grasses at 15 per-cent, and corn silage at35 percent. Molasses val-ue falls between the twocorn figures, and most

small grains are a littlecloser to the ear corn val-ue. One key element formany organic dairymenis their abandonment ofcorn silage as a croppingenterprise. I think whathappened in many casesis they gave up growingcorn because they wouldhave to buy a new rowchopper, and then decid-ed to walk away fromthat cash-flow challenge.(The absence of corn...with all its usual chemi-cal inputs... may haveenabled them to qualifyfor organic certificationquite a bit sooner.)

I had Uri sample histotal mixed ration, whichincluded chopped balageand his purchasedgrains, as well as miner-als and salt. His NFCvalue for his TMR was

just over 25 percent. Ithink that value for amixed feed may be a lit-tle skewed, but I’m surethat the actual figurewould still be below theminimum of 35 percentrecommended by Cher-neys. Addition of mo-lasses would help dragthe average value towardthat goal, but we’ll be re-lying on increased totalconsumption of TMR drymatter, so as to meet thecows’ energy needs,whatever parameter wedecide on.

In the forage NFC are-na today, I stumbled intosome good news: the re-search station in Valatie,NY, has been demon-strating a new variety ofbrown-mid-rib Sudangrass. I was very im-pressed. The folks doing

the research at Valatie(and other experimentstations) firmly believethat the digestible ener-gy of this new crop, asrelated to dairy nutri-tion, places it on a parwith good quality cornsilage. The brown-mid-rib trait in Sudan grass,sorghum, their hybrids,

and even corn silage,has improved their NDFdigestibility. This factmight throw a curve intosome of these complexformulae. But if it makescows more productive...and their owners happi-er... what’s a little morepaperwork and comput-erization?

The product will be deliv-ered through Februaryand raised CWT’s 2012cheese exports to 78.3million pounds plus 56.4million of butter and an-hydrous milk fat (adjust-ed for cancellations), to33 countries.

Stewart Peterson’s MattMattke pointed out inTuesday’s DairyLine thatthe U.S. Cheddar price isabout 20 cents higherthan the internationalprice so that may bestalling the U.S. market.Milk and cheese futures,as of Tuesday, werepriced in the $1.90’s, hesaid. “The cash market ishaving a tough time get-ting to $1.90.”

He added that Augustwas a good month forClass III milk prices, up80 cents to $1.00 fromJuly but stalled recentlywith fourth quarter pricesgetting up to $20.25 to$20.50. October, Novem-ber, and December milkof this year is currentlytrading at about 12 centpremiums over cashcheese, according to Mat-tke, so “It’s going to behard to see where thatnext leg of upside is goingto come unless the cashmarket starts to pick upmomentum or we see it inthe whey market, whichhas been extremely quietrecently.”

Meanwhile, as if wedon’t have enough issuesto be concerned about,farmers are on high alertfor the naturally occurringtoxin in corn due to thedraught. Trace amountshave been reportedly

showing up and couldpush prices even higher ofthe reduced supply of un-tainted crop. The Iowa De-partment of Agricultureand Land Stewardshipwill require aflatoxinscreening and testing ofmilk received in Iowa, be-ginning August 31 andcontinuing indefinitely.

Cash butter closed theweek at $1.84, up 4-cents but still 16 1/2-cents below a year agowhen it fell almost 9cents and began a de-cent that shaved 33cents off the price beforerebounding in early Oc-tober. Six cars of buttertraded hands this weekand the AMS butter priceaveraged $1.7576, up4.2 cents.

cream availability andprice, according toUSDA. Students are re-turning to classrooms,thus school milk bottlingschedules are resuming.Standardized cream vol-umes from increasingbottling schedules arebecoming available forcream needs. Class IIcream demand remainssteady, although typical-ly Class II needs willease, especially for icecream, once the LaborDay holiday has passed.

Churning is often notkeeping pace with de-

mand, thus inventoriedstock is being used. But-ter producers that aretaking advantage of ad-ditional cream offeringsand generating butterbeyond current needsare clearing the extraproduction to inventoryand “holding thosestocks with confidence,”says USDA.

Retail orders are oftenoutpacing food serviceneeds as many food serv-ice buyers are cuttingback as the summer va-cation season windsdown. Food service buy-

ers, especially in resortand vacation areas, indi-cate that traffic flowthrough their operationsis slowing, but will hope-fully remain fairly stableat least through the LaborDay holiday weekend.

DMN warns that milksupplies across the U.S.are short of expected lev-els due to the recent hotweather and higher feedcosts. California produc-tion has leveled off, butremains short of full pro-cessing needs. Midwestmilk volumes have in-creased with cooler tem-

peratures. Eastern sup-plies are still tight.

Cash Grade A nonfatdry milk closed Friday at$1.70, up 3 1/2-cents onthe week, and ExtraGrade held all week at$16250. AMS powder av-eraged $1.2955, up 3.8cents, and dry wheyinched 0.8 cent higher, to54.76 cents per pound.

Getting back to ex-ports briefly, Dairy ProfitWeekly (DPW) reportsthat, compared to May’soutlook, USDA raised itsquarterly forecast for fis-cal year 2012 (FY ‘12)

dairy exports by $300million in August. At $5billion, FY ‘12 dairy ex-ports would easily sur-pass FY 2011’s recordhigh of $4.5 billion.

USDA also issued itsfirst forecast for FY ‘13dairy exports, at $4.8billion. High feed costsare expected to reduceproducer margins, lead-ing to lower milk outputand reduced dairy prod-uct supplies. That willresult in a reduction ofexport volumes, leadingto the $200 million de-cline from FY ‘12, ac-cording to DPW.

The FY ‘12 U.S. dairyimport forecast wasraised $100 million, to$3 billion, due to highervalues and volumes. Theforecast for FY ‘12cheese imports was re-duced to $1billion.

It its first forecast forFY ‘13 imports, USDAforecast slight increasesfor cheese and total dairyproducts, at $1.1 billionand $3.1 billion, respec-tively. Butter, casein andmiscellaneous milkproducts will lead importdemand.

Despite a forecast for amodest appreciation in2012 and 2013, the dol-lar will be relativelyweak. That, and low in-terest rates, provide con-tinued inexpensive creditfor financing trade.Higher expected worldgrowth, lower energyprices and more avail-able credit make the out-look for U.S. agriculturaltrade promising in 2013.

Two weeks ago I de-tailed the latest data onfluid milk sales whichcontinue to fall howeverthe Daily Dairy Report’sMary Ledman sees a sil-ver lining in the darkcloud in her August 24edition. She pointed outthat June’s 0.3 percentdecline in fluid sales froma year ago “pales com-pared to declines of morethan 3 percent in Decem-ber 2011 as well as Feb-ruary and March 2012.

On the down side how-ever, U.S. milk produc-tion through June 2012totaled 119.1 billionpounds, up 2.7 percentadjusted for leap day, ac-cording to Ledman. Fluidmilk sales during thesame period totaled 26.2billion pounds, down 2.2percent. Ledman saidthat means an additional3.15 billion pounds ofmilk were available dur-

ing the first half of 2012,compared with the com-parable period in 2011,plus an additional 580.3million pounds of milkwere available to manu-facturers as a result ofthe lower fluid milksales.

In total, the additional3.73 billion pounds ofmilk contributed to year-over-year productiongains of 51.8 millionpounds of butter, 185 mil-lion pounds of nonfat drymilk and skim milk pow-der, 115 million pounds ofcheese, and 82.6 millionpounds of yogurt.

She points out a fewmore encouraging detailsin her column and agreesin the Daily Dairy Dis-cussion audio on theDDR website that thedata underscores the im-portance of fluid milk ad-vertising and promotionand the export market.

By the way, the August30 DDR reports thatdairy producers culled61,000 cows in the weekending August 18, an in-crease of 6,800 headfrom the same week ayear ago. The slaughterpace year to date is 5.1percent ahead of 2011,according to the DDR,and since July, U.S.dairy producers haveculled 11.7 percent morecows than they did in thesame period a year ago

Labor Day is the unof-ficial end of summer, andfor U.S. dairy farmers,the change of seasonsprobably can’t come soonenough, according toDairy Profit Weekly’sDave Natzke in his Fri-day DairyLine report.

“Even Congress has tocome in from recess inSeptember,” he said,“And here in north cen-tral Wisconsin, we actu-ally have some treesstarting to turn color.”He reported that USDA’smonthly “Milk Cost ofProduction” reportshowed the nation’sdairy farmers likely paidmore in July operatingcosts than at any time inhistory, with feed pricesleading the way. The es-timates put total costs atmore than $27 per cwt.,up $2 from June and$1.75 more than previ-ous record highs in thesummer of 2008.

“Hopefully, the changein season will bring bet-ter news,” Natzke said.“Schools will be back in

session, and that meansmore demand for fluidmilk for student lunchesand feeding programs,and cheese demand hasalso been picking up.”

He pointed to risingmilk prices but admittedthey’re still well belowlast year’s price levelsbut should continue torise through the end ofthe year. The question, of

course, is whether thehigher milk prices cankeep pace with risingfeed costs.

“Longer term, there’sanother positive sign,”Natzke said. “Dairy prod-uct manufacturers areinvesting in new and up-graded processingplants. Industry analystsestimate U.S. dairy prod-uct manufacturers will

invest $2.2 billion overthe next couple of years,with more than 75 majorcapital projects expectedto be underway beforeJune 2014. Additionaland more efficient ca-pacity should lead tomore demand for milk, awelcome sign for dairyfarmers in any season,”he concluded.

In dairy politics; Na-tional Milk’s Chris Galenreaffirmed the need toget a Farm Bill passed inhis Thursday DairyLinereport. He reminded lis-teners that the currentbill expires September30, leaving dairy pro-grams such as the MILC,in limbo.

He talked about thecoalition of about 40farm organizationswhich I reported on lastweek that is lobbyingCongress to pass a newFarm Bill before fall. Hereported that they willhold a rally on CapitolHill September 12 tomake a “visible and vocalpush for Congress topass a new Farm Bill.”For complete details, logon towww.farmbillnow.com.

VERMONT DAIRY HERD IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION NEWSLETTER1909 - 2012

OVER 100 YEARS OF SERVICECountryFolks

Official Publication of Vermont DHIA

Vermont DHIA is proud to announce the addition ofthree new employees to our team! Each of theseladies are covering different regions in our servicearea and we wanted to allow you to get to know thema little bit. Sarah Birch is originally from Craftsbury, Vermont

where she attended Craftsbury Academy. Throughsome friends in Elementary School Sarah got involvedwith the local 4-H program. At first her primary in-terests were in poultry but once getting into HighSchool she quickly became interested in showingdairy cattle. Sarah became even more interested in

dairy cattle after meeting her husband Andy, 3 yearsago. Sarah and Andy currently live in Addison, VTwhere Andy is a herdsman on a dairy farm. They arehoping to start milking their own herd someday soon,inspiring to have mostly Holsteins with maybe a fewJerseys (which would be for Sarah.)

Sarah knew a little bit about DHIA before applyingto the job. A farm at which she worked at during highschool had been on test and did owner sampling so itwas somewhat familiar to her. She feels that DHIA of-fered a great opportunity to work with dairy cattleand dairy farmers. She is looking forward to gettingto know all of the farmers she will be working withand to learn more about the industry. She continu-ously asks farmers questions to better her knowledgein the field.

Sarah B. will be covering approximately 20 herds inAddison and Chittenden County, Vermont. Sarah Porrovechhio grew up on a dairy farm in

Bernardston, MA the contained a herd of registeredHolsteins and Jerseys. Sarah was a very active mem-

ber in the local 4-H Dairy program and received anAssociates Degree from Vermont Technical College.Sarah is now married with 2 children who are active4-H members and help with a herd of 18 dairy cattle.

Sarah enjoys going to the different herds throughDHIA and getting to work with all of the farmers. Shewill be testing herds from 30 to 150 head of cattle,each one just a little different from the next. She isexcited to be working for DHIA and the Dairy farmersin her area. She knows how DHIA plays an importantrole in helping farmers with milk quality, records andoverall herd health.

Sarah P. will be covering 19 herds in southern VT,NH and northern Mass. Marcy Guillette is a fourth generation dairy farmer

from Derby, Vermont. Marcy attended the Universityof Vermont where she got a Bachelors degree in Ani-mal Science. Since then she has worked for the Uni-versity of Maine, UVM Extension and Cow Town Hol-steins. Currently working part time for both VT DHIAand Semex USA, Marcy also spends her free time asa director on the Orleans County Farm Bureau andFair Association, showing cows, harness racing andspending time with friends and family.

Marcy was interested in working for VT DHIA be-

cause she feels it will give her the chance to learn,share and help improve the Vermont Dairy Industry.She is looking forward to helping producers improvetheir management by utilizing information gatheredand recorded by DHIA.

Marcy currently covers 6 herds in Orleans and Cale-donia County, Vermont.

In the past, thisstandard was sometimesreferred to as “The Rightto Know”, because underthe law, workers have theright to know about thehazards of the chemicals

that they work with.The HCS is now in

alignment with the Glob-ally Harmonized Systemof Classification and La-beling of Chemicals(GHS). These newchanges will make itmuch easier for workersto identify chemical haz-ards and understand thepotential hazards ofchemicals that they mustwork with. According toOSHA, these updates willprovide a more uniformand easier to understand

approach for classifyingchemicals and communi-cating hazard informa-tion on labels and safetydata sheets. The formerMaterial Safety DataSheets (MSDS) will nowbe called Safety DataSheets (SDS) under thenew revisions. Thesechanges will make it saferfor workers by providingeasily understandable in-formation on appropriatehandling and safe use ofhazardous chemicals.These new changes were

announced on March 26,2012. Changes to theHCS will be phased inover the next few yearsand will be fully imple-mented by June 1, 2016.

Major Changes to theHazard CommunicationStandard:

• Hazard Classifica-tion: Provides specificcriteria for classificationof health and physicalhazards, as well as classi-fication of mixtures.

• Labels: Chemicalmanufacturers and im-porters will be required toprovide a label and SDSthat includes a harmo-nized signal word, pic-togram, and hazardstatement for each haz-ard class and category.By June 1, 2015, GHSstandardized pictogramswill be required on chem-ical labels to warn of haz-ards that each chemicalhas. Precautionary state-ments must also be pro-vided.

• Safety Data Sheets(SDS): (formerly knownas MSDS) Will now havespecific 16 section for-mat.

• Information andTraining: Important tonote; employers are re-quired to train workersby Dec. 1, 2013 on thenew label elements andSDS format to facilitaterecognition and under-standing.

Other provisions of theHCS have not changed.To be in compliance withthis standard, a businessmust have a written haz-ard communication pro-gram. The hazard com-munication programmust address these sixareas:

1. Name a person re-sponsible for overseeing

the program2. Create an inventory

of all chemicals at theworksite

3. Properly label allchemical containers

4. Obtain and keep onfile a SDS for each chem-ical

5. Train workers onhow to read product la-bels and SDS’s

6. Train workers onhow to protect them-selves from the chemicalsand document training

The HCS states thatSDS’s must be readilyavailable to workers.Workers are free to con-sult the SDS anytimethey have a questionabout a particular chemi-cal. Before using a chem-ical, it is a good idea tocheck the SDS. The SDSwill list the personal pro-tective equipment neededand the appropriate firstaid measures that shouldbe taken in case of anemergency. Worker train-ing is an important com-ponent of complying withthe HCS. The employeetraining should includean explanation of thestandard, how to read alabel and SDS, where tofind the SDS’s, types ofchemicals used in theworkplace, how to protectthemselves from thesechemicals and how to usethe appropriate PersonalProtective Equipment(PPE). Employers need todocument the training.Pesticide labels are ex-empt from the HCS, butthey will have the newSDS’s and need to be in-cluded in a farm’s HCSprogram. Pesticide labelsare covered under theEPA Worker ProtectionStandard (WPS), 40 CFR1970.

Changes to the hazard communicationstandard are coming

GHS Hazard Pictograms that will appear on chemical la-bels. Each pictogram has a white background framed bya red border. The pictogram used on the label is deter-mined by the chemical hazard classification.

Question: The driver of acar, traveling at 50 mph,sees a tractor about 400feet ahead on the road. Thetractor is traveling at 20mph. How long does thedriver of the car have to re-spond, slow down andavoid a rear end collision?

a) More than 60 sec-onds

b) 30 to 40 secondsc) Less than 10 sec-

ondsAnswer: c) Less than

10 seconds. In those 10seconds, the motoristmust recognize a danger-ous situation exists, de-termine the speed atwhich the tractor ismoving, decide what ac-tion to take, take thataction and actually slowthe vehicle to avoid arear-end collision. Trac-tor owners can alert driv-ers that they are travel-ing at slow speeds by dis-playing a slow-movingvehicle (SMV) emblem onthe back of tractors andall slow-moving farmequipment.

Question: When some-one is overcome by manuregases, it is important to getthat person out of the areaas quickly as possible.True or False?

Answer: False. As ani-mal wastes break down,several gases are pro-duced. These gases areoften trapped in manurestorage structures thatdo not have proper ven-tilation. Of these gases,hydrogen sulfide is themost dangerous and isresponsible for the mostmanure-related deaths ofboth animals and people.In low concentrations,this gas smells like rot-ten eggs. But at higherconcentrations, it para-lyzes the sense of smell.Within seconds of expo-sure, hydrogen sulfidecan cause unconscious-ness and then death.

NEVER try to rescuesomeone who is uncon-scious in a manure stor-age structure unless youhave proper equipmentand knowledge of the sit-uation. Instead, call 911or your local emergencymedical service. Multipledeaths from manure gas-es are common becauserescuers succumb to thesame gases as the vic-tim.

It is important thatchildren stay away frommanure storage areas.Fencing/child-proofingthe area is highly recom-mended.

Question: Lightening oc-curs only where it is rain-ing. True or False?

Answer: False. Con-

trary to popular belief,lightening often strikesareas outside of heavyrain and can occur as faras 10 miles away fromany rainfall. Many peoplealso believe that “heatlightening” after a veryhot summer day posesno threat. In reality,“heat lightening” is from

a storm too far away forthe thunder to be heardand it could be movingin your direction.

Most deaths due tolightening happen out-doors. Make sure all fam-ily members know whatto do if caught outsideduring a thunderstorm.In an open field, find a

low spot, away fromtrees, fences and poles.If you are in the woods,take shelter under short-er trees. If you have noshelter, make yourselfthe smallest target bysquatting low to theground on the balls ofyour feet. Minimize con-tact with the ground and

place your hands on yourknees with your head be-tween them when yourskin tingles or your hairstands on end. If you arein a tractor or other ve-hicle, stay put, with yourhands in your lap. Vehi-cles can provide betterprotection than lying ex-posed in open fields.

by Ben LaCrossParched and burnt

cornfields, hayfields asyellow as the sun andchalky, dry soil are im-ages we’ve seen from therecord-setting drought of2012. The farm bill issupposed to be the safe-ty net for agriculture, es-

pecially in catastrophicdisaster years such asthis. But alas, chancesof passing a new farmbill, which is set to ex-pire on Sept. 30, is wilt-ing as fast as a Midwest-ern cornstalk.

Now, only a handful ofdays remains on the leg-

islative calendar beforethe election.

The farm bill wasgrowing strong andsteady through June.The Senate, under theleadership of AgricultureCommittee ChairwomanDebbie Stabenow (D-MI)and Ranking Member

Pat Roberts (R-KS),passed a strong, biparti-san bill. This bill showedreal promise of reformand savings. The bill cutout the direct paymentprogram, an antiquatedsystem of risk manage-ment for farmers. Cropinsurance was strength-

ened and expanded, en-suring that farmerswould have to have “skinin the game” for theirrisk management needs.

The nutrition title,which makes up wellover 80 percent of all

farm bill spending, wasalso reformed. The daysof lottery winners whostill receive food stampswould be gone. Conser-vation would bestrengthened, allowingfarmers to partner withthe federal governmentto grow their environ-mental stewardship.

Agriculture under-stands the importance ofbeing fiscally responsible.Farmers are ready to dotheir part to reduce thenational deficit. In fact,this bill would have savedtaxpayers more than $23billion, compared to pre-vious farm bills.

The bipartisan HouseAgriculture Committee-passed bill, crafted byChairman Frank Lucas(R-OK) and RankingMember Colin Peterson(D-MN), would havesaved taxpayers evenmore. But, like the fieldsthat never benefited fromtimely rains to save theircrops, House leadershipdealt what could amountto a drought-like blow bynot bringing up the farmbill for a timely vote.

Due to that lack of polit-ical urgency, farmers arenow facing another poten-tial disaster. This time,though, we can’t blameMother Nature. This ca-tastrophe is man-made.

Northern Michigan ex-perienced record warmthfor more than seven daysin the middle of March.While 85 degree tempswere welcomed after along winter, we fruitfarmers knew we were infor trouble. The hotweather awoke our treesfrom dormancy, pushingflower buds to maturefour to six weeks early. Asthe weather patterns re-turned to normal, so didthe cold, freezing temper-atures, and they froze outthe majority of the fruitgrown in Michigan, mycherries included.

Tart cherries, the fruityou enjoy in pie, and thecrop my family relies onfor the majority of ourharvest, is not eligible forcrop insurance. Our in-dustry has been chal-lenging USDA’s RiskManagement Agency toexpand crop insuranceto our fruit, but thewheels of bureaucracyseem to have been stuckin the mud.

The all-new 504 PROBaler from Vermeer isbuilt to handle the de-mands of heavy, wet ma-terial for frequent silagebaling. The 5 foot by 4foot variable chamber

baler has the heavy drivecomponents necessaryfor effective silage baling,and also offers the fea-tures and flexibility toproduce high qualitybales in a variety of ma-

terials. With the stan-dard, color touchscreenE-Link Pro monitor, bal-ing operations can beeasily controlled fromthe cab.

“Features such as Hy-

droflexcontrol and theXtracut17 chopper sys-tem have proven to bevery effective in balingsilage, and we’re excitedto offer those features inthis all-new 5 foot by 4

foot baler,” said PhilChrisman, VermeerProduct Manger. “The504 PRO Baler has manyof the same componentsfound in our 404 PROSilage Baler, but in a

variable chamber with astandard wide pick-upthat gives producersmore flexibility to balewet or dry hay.

With Hydroflexcontrol,the floor of the 504 PRO

Baler can flex up anddown to minimize block-age in the pick-up. Thisfeature also gives the op-erator the ability to hy-draulically open the floorof the baler should ablockage occur so theycan easily clear the plugwithout leaving the cab.The Xtracut17 is a 17-knife chopper system onthe pick-up rotor, withthe option of utilizingknives in quantities of 0,8, 9 or 17. This featurecontributes to better baledensity, fermentation,silage quality and di-gestibility, and also pro-vides a consistent, pre-cut material for addi-tions to rations fed usinga mixer wagon.

In addition, the all-new, color touchscreenE-Link Pro monitorcomes standard with the504 PRO Baler. “The E-Link Pro monitor givescustomers some user-friendly capabilities andfunctions we haven’t of-fered before,” said Chris-man. “Operators will ap-preciate the ability toelectronically controlbale density from thecab, or the ramp ‘home’

sensor that alerts the op-erator when the bale isfully ejected for a fastertailgate cycle. They canalso collect and storecomprehensive field andoperation statistics,among the many otherfeatures this monitorhas to offer.”

Other features of the504 PRO Baler includethe patented PowersplitTransmission with asplit gearbox design forbetter use of horsepowerwhen baling in heavymaterial, endless belts toeliminate the need forlace maintenance, and

heavy-duty chains, bear-ings and other drivecomponents add dura-bility when handlingheavy, dense silagebales.

The Senate-passedfarm bill contained pro-visions to expand cropinsurance to help farm-ers like me manage riskwhen weather catastro-phes are out of our con-trol. Much of the pro-

posed legislation wouldhelp farmers who’vebeen affected by thisyear’s drought, as well.Yet the House still hasnot scheduled a vote onthis bill.

Farmers certainly

aren’t the only people af-fected by the delayedpassage of the farm bill.Twenty-three millionpeople — one in every 12working American’s —work in agriculture.Agriculture expands for-

eign trade, and is theonly industry with a pos-itive balance of trade.

Think, also, of the mil-lions of schoolchildrenand families in need thatthis bill helps to feed.Last year, the AgricultureDepartment reportedthat one in six Americanswere “food insecure.” Atone point or another lastyear, these folks weren’tsure where their nextmeal would come from. Ifit weren’t for the farm

bill’s nutrition programs,many more might strug-gle to eat.

The droughts and oth-er natural disasters mayhave done damage be-yond repair to this year’sharvests, but the Housecould still breathe lifeback into this bill. It’snot too late.

Congress, it’s time topass this farm bill now.

The American Sheep In-dustry Association’s (ASI)Board of Directors (BOD)approved the association’sfiscal year 2012-2013 woolbudget and the legislativebudget as well as approvedthe membership dues rate.The budget proposals wererecommended to the direc-tors by ASI’s AmericanWool Council and the exec-utive board.

The $2.25 million woolbudget provides programsand services that will im-prove sheep production,marketing and informationabout American wool. Thewool programs serve sheepproducers, domestic andinternational wool initia-tives and the use of Ameri-can wool by the U.S. mili-tary for fire-retardant,moisture-managing, ma-chine-washable and an-timicrobial wool fabric.Funds are also providedfor local wool projectsthrough the Wool Out-reach program.
