2011-2012 Pennsylvania Dairy Princess
Sept. 22-24 was the PennsylvaniaDairy Princess Pageant, held in CampHill. Thirty-three talented CountyPrincesses attended the three daypageant.
Thursday, we all had the opportuni-ty to mingle with others by having apizza social and a scrapbook partythat night. It was so neat to see all thedifferent scrapbooks each princesshad and the different promotions theyhad attended so far.
Friday was the start the judgingprocess. Skits, scrapbooks, poster dis-plays, and radio spots were judgedthroughout the day along with individ-ual interviews with the four mainjudges. It was a very long day but itwas fun as we watched each other’sskits and mingled in the hospitalityroom and ate so much wonderful foodthat was available to us. That night wewent to a secret location that turnedout to be the beautiful CapitolBuilding. We were given a tour of thebuilding and learned about its history.
After the tour we ate dinner with thejudges and had a dance party! Whocan honestly say they got to party inthe Capitol Building? I know all of thePennsylvania County Princesses cansay that and that we all had a blast!
Saturday was the conclusion of thethree-day Pageant with presentingspeeches to the judges Saturdaymorning. At lunch on Saturday wehad an awards banquet where thegirls who won first and second in eachcategory were announced along withall the honorable mentions.
Then came the time we were alllooking forward to, The Pageant.During the pageant the ladies whowon first and second in Speeches,skits, and radio spots got the opportu-
nity of presenting in front of 350 pluspeople who attended the pageant thatnight. Starting off with the 2nd placeskit, Samantha Bliss, HuntingdonCounty Princess, was Santa’s headElf. Following her skit was the 2ndplace speech winner, Deidra Bollinger,Lancaster County Princess. Herspeech was geared towards legislatorsand talked about the economy.Caitlyn Pool, Berks County Princess,was the first place skit winner withher skit about basketball and the nineessential nutrients. After the firstplace skit was the first place speechwith Gabrielle Murphy, York County
Princess. Her speech was also gearedtowards legislators and talked abouthow being a dairy princess has affect-ed her and the importance of theeconomy.
Top seven finalists were: CourtneyBrant from Somerset County,Samantha Bliss from HuntingdonCounty, Renee Grove from FranklinCounty, Caitlyn Pool From BerksCounty, Deidra Bollinger FromLancaster County, Gabrielle Murphyfrom York County, and Kelly Jay fromBedford County. The 2011-2012 StateRoyalty Team was announced afterthe awards and the farewell speech
from the 2010-2011 State DairyPrincess, Marissa Weidensaul. Theresults were: 2nd PennsylvaniaAlternate Dairy Princess fromSomerset County, Courtney Brant; 1stPennsylvania Alternate Dairy Princessfrom Lancaster County, DeidraBollinger and the Pennsylvania DairyPrincess from York County, GabrielleMurphy.
I, Gabrielle Murphy, thePennsylvania Dairy Princess, wantedto say how I learned so much from thepageant and I enjoyed every momentof it! I think all of us enjoyed ourselvesand getting to know everyone so muchbetter. This year is going to open somany doors for the new State Royaltyand speaking on behalf of the team Iknow we will do great. We will meet somany new people, learn so much, pro-mote this wonderful industry withpassion and along with that keep pro-moting in our counties.
Thank you to everyone who support-ed this young group of CountyPrincesses at the Pageant and thankyou to all of the sponsors of the pag-eant and of the Pennsylvania DairyPrincess Promotions and Serviceswithout all of your help, dedication,and support this would not be possi-ble. I am looking forward to travelingacross Pennsylvania with the StateRoyalty Team promoting the dairyindustry.
Remember how important the dairyindustry is, how hard farmers work toproduce a pure whole and nutritiousfood, MILK, and how much it impactsour health and economy. For thefarmers let’s be open armed to thosewho have not experienced the dairylife style because that is the easiestand most impacting way we can teachpeople about what you, the dairyfarmers, do.

INDIANA COUNTY, PENN-SYLVANIA — Managingmanure on a large dairy farmtakes serious planning, andBrookside Dairy is adoptingnew technology that that savesmoney and protects the envi-ronment.
The familySeven generations of
Georges have lived atBrookside Dairy since 1781.Now Bill George and his twosons, Kevin and Keith, alongwith Keith’s son Shane, arepartners on the farm, withKevin overseeing the dairyoperation while Keith managesthe 1,200 acres of crops.
The dairy operationThe Georges expanded their
herd in 2001 to milk 550 dairycows in a 200 by 300 footfreestall barn with 326 stalls.The high ventilation barn fea-tures 28 five-foot fans at oneend that produce a 7.5 mileper hour wind to keep thecows cool during hot weather.A sprinkler system uses waterto cool the cows, and rubbermatting on the floors providescushion for the cows as theywalk through the barn.
With the expansion cameincreased electricity costs forthe new barn and more
manure waste with the addi-tional cows. The Georgesbegan researching options toaddress the new issues thatarose, specifically an anaero-bic methane digester.
Keith says there were sever-al reasons for considering adigester on their dairy opera-tion “economics, odor controland the resulting better quali-ty fertilizer.”
The decisionThe Georges sought help
from Jim Resh, of the IndianaCounty Conservation District,to investigate installing an on-farm digester. They found adigester would meet the specif-ic needs they were consider-ing.
The renewable energy pro-duced through the biogas isset up to offset the farm’s elec-tricity use and/or sell atwholesale rates to the localutility.
The conversion to biogas
results in less odor-causingcompounds in manure in atypical liquid storage system.
The breakdown of manure inthe digester converts theorganic nitrogen into ammoni-um which, when spread on thefields, is more readily availablewhen taken up by the plants,allowing for less nutrientrunoff. The process alsoreduces weed seeds in thefields, causing fewer weedsgrowing among the crops.
The digestion process alsoreduces methane, a green-house gas, emissions thatwould otherwise remain in theatmosphere for nine to 15years.
After deciding it was a viableoption and met the needs oftheir farm, the Georgessecured an Energy HarvestGrant from the PennsylvaniaDepartment of EnvironmentalProtection. The grants aredesigned to help fund projectsthat address energy and envi-ronmental issues.
The digesterThey opted to install an
anaerobic digester, whichmeans no oxygen is involved inthe process of using the cowmanure to produce a biogas ofmethane and carbon dioxide.
Microorganisms in the manureperform the decompositionprocess.
The manure is removed withautomatic alley scrapers fromthe barn and is combined withwaste water from the milkingparlor, along with food wastesfrom a local brewery andPittsburgh restaurants.
Four times a day, 3,000 gal-lons of manure is pumped intothe digester, which holds260,000 gallons.
“The digester is like a cow —it likes to be fed at the sametime with the same qualityfeed every day,” said Keith.
The digester is a 14-feet deepconcrete pit and covered with adome made of plastic andcloth. A 100- horse powermotor that is run on the biogasoperates a 90 kilowatt genera-tor to keep the digester in con-stant motion. All the machin-ery is automated and runthrough a computer system.
The manure spends onemonth rotating in the digesterat 98 degrees Fahrenheit afterwhich it is pumped to themanure solids building wherethe nutrient-rich liquid, oreffluent, is pressed out to a

Skies were gray as they hadbeen for the past two weeksbut the threat of flood watersinundating the large arena atthe Pennsylvania Farm ShowComplex had mercifully sub-sided. Waters were ebbing inthe nearby SusquehannaRiver, the source of the over-flow, and the 2011 AllAmerican Dairy Show waswrapping up another success-ful year, packing up and goinghome. All that was left to dowas the judging of theSupreme Champion.
“It is the end of the show,”said Rita Kennedy, AADSPresident. “We're here now topick the best cow of the bestbreeds. To be selected asSupreme Champion helpsthe breeder sell embryos andadvertise their cattle forsale.”
Always present at this eventis a sense of showmanship.The large arena, which boaststhe best and brightest lights inthe Complex, is darkened asthe nominees for the title areparaded through one at a timeunder a spotlight. The voice ofveteran public addressannouncer Jean Kummerechoes throughout the arena'snooks and crannies describingthe nominee, how much milkthey give and other pertinentinformation for judges to con-sider. When the judges havemade their decisions, those
papers are passed to thosewho tally the results. Theprocess is incredibly simpleand fast. No trumpets sound.No fanfare of any sort, actual-ly. The lights have been backon for the judging, and whenthe winner is announced, pho-tographers, reporters, otherbreeders and officials clusteraround the winner for masscongratulations.
Frederick 2783 Adventure, asix-year-old Jersey owned byCraig Walton, EmilyThornburg, Gene Iager, Shelbyand Harold Rader, Jr., andAmy, Scott, Skip and SteveLackey of Pleasant Plain,Ohio, was named SupremeChampion. Cargill AnimalFeed and Nutrition, Inc. spon-sored the $3,000 cash awardgarnered by the winner.Adventure was chosen fromamong the top seven breedchampions by the judges whoplaced 1,183 head of cattle inthe open shows.
The judges were Eric Topp,Botkins, Ohio; Lee Barber,DeWitt, Iowa; DanielSivesind, Waukon, Iowa;Ronald Heffner, Middletown,MD; Larry Schirm,Laurelville, Ohio, who judged'Adventure' in the Openshow; Ted DeMent, Kenney,IL; and Matthew Lawrence,Mercer, PA.
The six other All-AmericanGrand Champions were:
Ayrshire: Sunny Acres
Harmon's Kennedy, DougEvans and Family,Georgetown, NY.

400,000 gallon holding pit. The effluentis pumped from the pit and spreadonto the fields every two months.
The separated dried solids are usedfor bedding the freestalls, whichrequire 20 tons per week to keep thestalls clean and dry.
Pennsylvania is home to more than50 operational or proposed anaerobicdigesters, with more than half in theChesapeake Bay watershed. Mostdigesters are located on dairy andswine farms.
The capital costs for installing adigester are dependent on many factorsincluding number of animals, type ofdigester and site-specific conditions.The estimated range is from $500,000to more than $1 million.
The resultsKeith believes, in the five years since
the digester was installed, BrooksideDairy has already seen the benefits ofthe investment.
“The digester produces enough ener-gy to power the farm in addition to 55homes each day,” said Keith. “We’vealso seen an improvement in the qual-ity and yield in the crops with the bet-ter fertilizer we can spread on thefields, and we’ve had no negative effecton the cows’ health as a result of usingthe solids for bedding.”
All told, the time and cost involved inadopting this project has had a positiveeffect on Brookside Dairy, making goodbusiness and environmental sense.

After the manure is circulated through the digester at
Brookside Dairy, the solids are separated and dried and
used for bedding. The remaining liquid, or effluent, is
spread onto the fields as fertilizer.

Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsackhas announced that USDA will makepayments to more than 160 energyproducers in 41 states to support andensure the production and expansionof advanced biofuels.
“Renewable energy production willcreate tens of thousands of direct,American jobs; thousands more indi-rect jobs, and clean electricity topower millions of homes. The pay-ments I am announcing today repre-sent the continuing commitment ofthe Obama administration to workwith producers to provide the biofuelnecessary to reduce our nation’sdependence on foreign energysources,” Vilsack said. “The paymentssupport America’s growing advancedbiofuel industry.”
The payments are authorized underthe Bioenergy Program for AdvancedBiofuels (Section 9005 of the 2008Farm Bill) and are made to eligibleproducers to support and ensure anexpanding production of advancedbiofuels. Payments are based on theamount of biofuels a recipient pro-duces from renewable biomass, otherthan corn kernel starch. Eligibleexamples include biofuels derivedfrom cellulose, crop residue, animal,food and yard waste material, biogas(landfill and sewage waste treatmentgas), vegetable oil and animal fat.
To see a list of the recipientsannounced today click here.
For example, Ever Cat Fuels hasbeen selected to receive a $98,507contract payment to help offset thecosts of producing almost 881,000gallons of biodiesel at its plant inIsanti, MN. Ever Cat uses the Mcgyanprocess to produce biodiesel, whichefficiently and economically convertsfeedstock plant oils and animal fats tobiodiesel. Ever Cat produces threemillion gallons of biodiesel annuallyand is the first commercial plantdesigned to use the Mcgyan technolo-gy. The plant began operations twoyears ago, creating 20 full-time jobs.
In Corinth, ME, Corinth Wood Pelletswas selected to receive a $31,406 con-tract payment continue to produceand sell premium-grade wood pellets
for the residential, industrial and com-mercial markets. The wood pellets areproduced from sawdust and woodchipfeedstock. A total of 18,224 metrictons of wood pellets were produced togenerate 298,873,600,000 BTUs. Thisenergy generation supports the Obamaadministration’s ongoing efforts toreduce our reliance on fossil fuels byturning solid feedstock into alternativefuel that is used to heat residential,industrial and commercial buildings.USDA funding for this enterprise isexpected to support 11 industry jobs.
On Sept. 8, President Obama pre-sented the American Jobs Act in anaddress to Congress. The purpose ofthe American Jobs Act is simple: putmore people back to work and putmore money in the pockets of workingAmericans. The American Jobs Act isspecific. It will put people back to
work right now, and it will not add tothe deficit. Through a combination ofdirect spending, such as infrastruc-ture investments, and tax relief, suchas an extension of the payroll tax cuts,it will lead to new American jobs.Since taking office, President Obama’sAdministration has taken significantsteps to improve the lives of ruralAmericans and has provided broadsupport for rural communities. TheObama Administration has set goalsof modernizing infrastructure by pro-viding broadband access to 10 millionAmericans, expanding educationalopportunities for students in ruralareas, and providing affordable healthcare. In the long term, these unparal-leled rural investments will helpensure that America’s rural communi-ties are repopulating, self-sustainingand thriving economically.

by John HartWhen the U.S. Farm-
ers and Ranchers Al-liance was formed in No-vember 2010, organizersknew that the taskahead would be daunt-ing. After all, this wasthe first time ever that allof agriculture wouldcome together under onebanner to increase itsshare of voice in the foodconversation arena.
“This is a historic join-ing together of farm or-
ganizations,” said Ameri-can Farm Bureau Feder-ation President BobStallman, when the for-mation of USFRA wasannounced. “We arecommitted to developinga well-funded, long-term, coordinated cam-paign to increase con-sumer trust in agricul-tural producers and thefood system.”
Stallman, who servesas chairman of USFRA,would be the first to tellyou that USFRA facesskeptics who doubt thatall sectors of agriculturewith disparate interestscan work together in aunited effort. But as US-FRA approaches its firstanniversary, it is provingthe skeptics wrong. US-FRA is financially strongand the current mem-bership of 49 organiza-tions, representinggroups as diverse as eggfarmers and rice produc-ers, is united in the goalto engage in a dialogueabout the value of mod-ern food production.
The public conversationwith consumers and fooddecision makers has be-gun. On Sept. 22, USFRAheld “The Food Dialogues”a connected, town-hall-style meeting at four loca-tions across the country— Washington, D.C., NewYork City, Fair OaksFarms in Indiana and atthe University of Califor-nia-Davis. The live eventwas also viewed online byconsumers and farmersalike and was quite thebuzz on social media plat-forms such as Twitter.
During the dialogues,USFRA released the re-sults of two nationalsurveys that polledfarmers and consumersabout food and farm is-sues. The results ofthose surveys furtherunderscore the difficulttask at hand. The sur-veys show that con-sumers think about foodproduction constantlyand are interested inknowing about the foodthey eat, yet they knowvery little about how
food is brought to thedinner table.
This finding doesn’tsurprise Stallman. Atthe Washington, D.C.town hall, Stallmansaid the results of thesurvey underscore theneed of farmers andranchers to do a betterjob of reaching out toconsumers. The goodnews, he says, is thatfarmers and rancherswant to open up to theircustomers and becomemore transparent.
The consumer surveymakes it clear thatAmericans have becomedisconnected from theirfood. A staggering 72percent surveyed knownothing or very littleabout farming andranching. Still, 70 per-cent said their purchasedecisions are affectedby how food is grownand raised, while 72percent say they thinkabout the topic whenpurchasing groceries.
Another importantfinding of the survey
shows that consumersexpect farmers to pro-duce healthy foods, with79 percent of those sur-veyed saying producinghealthy choices for allconsumers is very im-portant for farmers andranchers to considerwhen planning farmingand ranching practices.
In the survey of farm-ers and ranchers, awhopping 86 percent re-sponded that the averageconsumer has little or noknowledge about mod-ern farming and ranch-ing. A clear result of thesurvey was that farmersand ranchers believe thetop misconception theymust overcome is the no-tion that a few “bad ac-tors” represent all ofagriculture. Additionally,farmers and ranchersidentified the role of pes-
ticides, antibiotics andfertilizers in food produc-tion as the most impor-tant priorities theyshould address whencommunicating withconsumers.
The results of the sur-vey underscore thedaunting task USFRAfaces. But the dialoguehas begun and leaders ofUSFRA are committed toengaging, openly andhonestly answering ques-tions about how food isgrown and tended. Al-ready, USFRA is provingthe skeptics wrong. Stall-man and other USFRAleaders have one clearmessage to consumers:“We’re listening.”

Industry success inweak economy showspower of productivefederal policy
WASHINGTON, D.C. —U.S. biodiesel produc-tion reached a newmonthly high of 81 mil-lion gallons in June, ac-cording to the latest EPAstatistics, marking athird consecutive monthof record volumes andcontinuing a remarkableturnaround in whichbiodiesel production inthe first half of 2011 hasalready eclipsed produc-tion for all of 2010.
The new numbers —coming after Congressreinstated the biodieseltax incentive this year —demonstrate the powerthat strong domestic en-ergy policy can have inhelping create jobs andeconomic activity.
Despite the weak econ-omy, the biodiesel indus-try is on track to produceat least 800 million gal-lons this year, more thandouble biodiesel produc-tion of 315 million gal-lons last year, whenCongress allowed thebiodiesel tax incentive totemporarily lapse. Ac-cording to a recent eco-nomic study, this year’srejuvenated productionwill support more than31,000 U.S. jobs andgenerate income of near-ly $1.7 billion to be cir-culated throughout theeconomy. It also is ex-pected to generate an es-
timated $345 million infederal tax revenue and$283 million in state andlocal tax revenues.
“We’ve dramatically in-creased production anddoubled our number ofemployees at a timewhen many industriesare shrinking or treadingwater,” said Ben Woot-ton, owner of KeystoneBiofuels in Camp Hill,PA. “It’s like night andday from 2010. I thinkthat’s a testament tobiodiesel’s staying poweras an advanced biofueland also to strong feder-al policy. We’re a youngindustry, and we would-n’t be where we are todaywithout the tax incentive— and a lot more peoplewould be standing in theunemployment line.”
Added Joe Jobe, CEOof the National BiodieselBoard, the industrytrade association:
“Policy makers shouldtake a look at our experi-ence over the last coupleof years. It’s a textbookcase in how sound ener-gy policy equates tosound economic policy.Congress should not al-low the biodiesel tax in-centive to expire again atthe end of this year. Inthis kind of economy, weneed every tool we have.”
Since the introductionof the $1-per-gallonbiodiesel tax credit in2005, U.S. biodiesel pro-duction climbed steadilyuntil 2010, when Con-
gress allowed it to lapsetemporarily as the healthcare debate overshad-owed other issues. Pro-duction immediatelyplummeted from arecord of about 700 mil-lion gallons in 2008 toabout 315 million gal-lons in 2010.
The industry hasbounced back quicklythis year, after Congressreinstated the tax incen-tive in December 2010and the EPA includedbiodiesel as an Advanced
Biofuel in its new Re-newable Fuels Program(RFS2), requiring mini-mum volumes ofbiodiesel use in U.S. fu-els. In the first sixmonths of this year, U.S.biodiesel production al-ready has exceeded 375million gallons.
The tax credit is againslated to expire in De-cember of this year,threatening industrymomentum and jobs.Senators MariaCantwell, D-WA, and
Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, have introduced S.1277 to extend the taxincentive for three years.Representatives AaronSchock, R-IL, and CollinPeterson, D-MN have in-troduced a similar bill,H.R. 2238, in the House.
Biodiesel is America’sfirst advanced biofuel —a renewable, clean-burn-ing diesel replacementthat is reducing U.S. de-pendence on foreign pe-troleum, creating greenjobs and improving our
environment. Made froman increasingly diversemix of resources such asagricultural oils, recy-cled cooking oil and ani-mal fats, it is the firstand only commercial-scale fuel used acrossthe U.S. to meet the En-vironmental ProtectionAgency’s definition as anadvanced biofuel. It isproduced in nearly everystate in the country andcan be used in existingdiesel engines.

The U.S. companyknown for inventing thepremiere high-tensionbanding castration toolon the market is now in-troducing a lighter,sleeker version designedto bring the same hu-mane, user-friendlytechnique to newborncalves, sheep and goats.
No-Bull Enterprises isunveiling the next gener-ation of innovation inbloodless castration withthe Callicrate ‘WEE’Bander™, an instrumentcrafted from surgicalquality, corrosion resist-ant stainless steel. It isdesigned to insure prop-er ligation with every ap-plication — the key to ef-fective humane castra-tion and a signature fea-ture of the CallicrateBander® which has beenmanufactured and dis-tributed worldwide since1991 with more than
50,000 units sold.Achieving adequate
tightness is the singlemost essential compo-nent in reducing stressduring banding, accord-ing to animal welfareexperts like ColoradoState University animalscience professor Tem-ple Grandin.
“Previously, the onlybanding option availablefor the smaller animalswas the green elastratorring,” says inventor MikeCallicrate, owner of NoBull Enterprises, basedin St. Francis, KS. “Weused the same simpletechnology, but com-bined it with a means ofattaining proper tension,resulting in a completeligation. In replacing theelastrator rings, whichlack sufficient tensionand are considered themost stressful method ofcastrating young ani-
mals, the ‘WEE’ Ban-der™ also provides analternative to castrationwith a knife, which isprobably the secondmost stressful methodyou can use.”
Studies of high tensionbanding have demon-strated that the completenegation of blood flowtriggers a natural anal-gesic effect that blockspain while minimizingswelling and relatedcomplications.
“While in New Zealandtesting our high tensionbanding technology, Icastrated a set of lambswith veterinarian JohnSouthworth,” Callicratesays. “All of the lambsreceiving the elastratorrings showed extremediscomfort,” Callicratecontinues. “They wererolling around bleatingand kicking. The lambswith the high-tension
Callicrate bands, bothnewborn and larger insize, were comfortableand back suckling theirmothers right away. Wechecked on the lambsfrequently. The lambswith elastrator ringswere still showing signsof pain 24 hours later.The high-tension bandedlambs were lying aroundcomfortably and nurs-ing, similar to what wewould expect to seebased on our resultswith cattle.”
Those findings areconsistent with re-search at the Universityof California-Davis,which showed high ten-sion banding generateda more localized im-mune response with nodiscernable depressionin appetite or rate ofgain when used onyoung bulls.
“The stress of using anelastrator ring, whichlacks sufficient tensionto block pain, doesn’tmeet the public’s height-ened standards for hu-mane animal treatment,”Callicrate says. By insur-
ing proper application ofthe band, the Callicrate‘WEE’ Bander™ meas-ures up to the increas-ingly rigorous worldwideemphasis on animal careand well-being.
Not only is the Calli-crate method for high-tension banding themost stress-free castra-tion method for the ani-mal, it’s also easiest forthe person performingthe operation.
With the CallicrateBander®, band applica-tion is mechanically as-sisted to insure consis-tent results every time.The ‘WEE’ Bander™ iseven lighter weight, justas fast, effective andbloodless, but requires nomanual cutting or crimp-ing of the rubber loop.
The process works likethis: the operator loads arubber loop on a trian-gular nosepiece at thefront of the applicatorand places it around thetesticles of the newborncalf, lamb or goat. Onceboth testicles are withinthe loop, the operatorsimply releases a small
thumb tab to secure theband firmly in place. Theprocess of tightening theband around the testi-cles to reach propercompression is veryquick and simple and re-quires no cutting of thebanding material.
“The bands are spe-cially formulated towithstand and maintainthe high tension neededfor consistent results,”Callicrate says. “Thecorrect formulation andcuring of the rubbergives it the elasticity,strength and memory forfail-proof application.”
Like the CallicrateBander®, the Callicrate‘WEE’ Bander™ is madein the USA using thehighest quality materials.It is essentially mainte-nance free. Five loops areincluded with each ‘WEE’Bander. Additional loopscan be purchased inbags of 25 or 100.

Power take-off devices(PTOs), though incredi-bly useful on farms andranches, can be ex-tremely dangerous topeople, rotating at 540 to1,000 revolutions perminute (RPM), or nine to16 revolutions per sec-ond. These energy-trans-ferring machines that
generally work to moveenergy from a tractor toa smaller device such asa grain auger, hay baleror pump can present ex-tremely hazardous situa-tions to humans, espe-cially children.
One of the most com-mon injuries that oc-curs with PTOs is PTOentanglement. Due tothe rapid rotation, peo-ple often get caught bythe fast-moving PTOshaft and injured beforethey have time to reactto the situation.
“The demonstrationswe often do during Safe-ty Days show what hap-pens to a straw-filleddummy when it comesinto contact with a ro-tating PTO shaft. This isa great opportunity forkids to really see first-hand just what thesemachines are capableof. If even one life issaved from these dan-gerous devices, ourwork is well worth it,”says Bernard Geschke,program specialist withthe Progressive Agricul-ture Foundation® (PAF),an organization thathelps rural communi-ties provide safety andhealth education tochildren ages 8 to 13.
As a parent, there areseveral things you can
teach your child to re-duce the likelihood of aPTO-related injury ordeath. Educate your chil-dren on the importanceof doing the following:
1. Always remove thekeys to the engine be-fore leaving the tractorseat to make sure thePTO will not accidentlystart running.
2. Make sure allequipment safetyshields and guards arein place and properlyworking before workingnear a PTO device.
3. Wear tight-fittingclothes and keep hair outof the way. A baggy sleeveor hair can easily getcaught in a PTO device.
4. Never step over aPTO device even when itis shut off. Stepping orreaching across a PTOcan lead to entanglement.
5. Children shouldstay away from PTOsthat are operating, andchildren under 18should never operate aPTO device.
Safety tips such asthese are examples ofthe things children learnwhen they attend Pro-gressive AgricultureSafety Days®, which areheld each year in ap-proximately 400 localcommunities throughoutNorth America.

NDEThe NDE mixer will cut and mix long stem fiber in an even, consistent ration.They are built with quality components, simple to maintain, while mixing fast
and efficiently with NO dead spots. They really do work!Why buy any other mixer?
Blacksburg, VA. Beef Producer, Bill Mc Donald of McDonald Farms (Circa 1763) is shownwith his 4yr. old NDE 804 Vertical Mixer. Bill is a breeder of Black Simmental and BlackAngus seedstock with the herd currently split 2/3 Black Simmental & 1/3 Black Angus.Having previously utilized a feed wagon and a bale bed on his truck to feed, Bill waslooking for a more cost effective and efficient way to feed his cattle. After considerationand evaluation of several brands of mixers, Bill chose to purchase an NDE unit.
Here are some of the benefits he has seen1.) Reduced hay consumption by 1/3 (less waste than before) and more efficient use ofwhat he has. 2.) 17% improvement in fuel consumption (less steps) 3.) Reduction infeeding time (3hrs/day on 250 head on feed) 4.) Ability to accurately deliver & fine tunethe volume he wants to feed with his Weigh-Tronix digital scale system.5.) Ability to utilize more grazing acreage vs. making additional hay on that acreage(helps to reduce days on feed)Bill credits his NDE rep. Dennis Trissel with being there for him whenever the needarises. Other than basic routine maintenance (grease) the NDE unit takes care of itselfand keeps on going! Blacksburg, VA.

HARRISBURG, PA —The Pennsylvania Infra-structure InvestmentAuthority (PENNVEST),working in conjunctionwith the Department ofEnvironmental Protec-tion (DEP), will hostauctions this fall for thesale and purchase ofnutrient credits in theSusquehanna and Po-tomac watersheds.
There will be two“spot” auctions of veri-fied credits, applicable tothe 2011 complianceyear. Both auctions willafford wastewater treat-ment plants in these twowatersheds to purchase
credits as a means ofmeeting their nitrogenand phosphorous dis-charge limits for thecompliance year.
PENNVEST is conduct-ing these auctions as acomponent of Pennsylva-nia’s nutrient credittrading program to en-courage the trading ofnutrient credits in theSusquehanna and Po-tomac watersheds. TheNutrient Credit Tradingprogram provides a cost-effective means for facili-ties subject to meet lim-its for nitrogen, phos-phorus and sediment tomeet those limits by
working with other facili-ties, with nonpointsources, or both.
PENNVEST has cho-sen Markit to provide theplatform for enrollmentand eligibility, auctionsand registry services.
The schedule for theauctions is as follows:
• Oct. 5 — applicationinformation from poten-tial auction participantsdue to PENNVEST;
• Oct. 12 — applica-tion information final-ized by PENNVEST andpotential auction par-ticipants;
• Oct. 26 — PEN-NVEST informs potential
auction participants ontheir eligibility to partici-pate in the auction;
• Nov. 2 — PENNVESTconducts first spot auc-tion;
• Nov. 4 — PENNVESTannounces first spotauction results;
• Nov. 9 — PENNVESTconducts second spotauction;
• Nov. 11 — PEN-NVEST announces sec-ond spot auction results.
To acquaint users withthe electronic auctionplatform, an informationmeeting will be heldSept. 14 from 1:30 to3:30 p.m. This meeting
will be a WebEx event.To access it via the In-ternet, go to the follow-ing link and register pri-or to the event:https://copa.webex.com/copa/onstage/g.php?d=642046680&t=a

PENNVEST, DEP announce Nutrient Credit Trading auctions
National Farmers Union (NFU) President RogerJohnson issued the following statement after the U.S.Senate Appropriations Committee passed an amend-ment to allow direct cash transfers between U.S. andCuban financial institutions by a vote of 20-10:
“NFU is encouraged that the Senate Appropria-tions Committee passed the amendment that wouldallow U.S. and Cuban financial institutions to direct-ly transfer payments to each other. Currently thosepayments must be routed through a financial insti-tution in another country, leading to additional feesand complications.
“NFU has long been a supporter of trade with Cuba.These self-imposed restrictions hurt our own domes-tic producers and make U.S. trade less competitive.The U.S. has exported $4 billion of agriculture goodsto Cuba since 2000, and that number will grow withthe elimination of this unnecessary trade barrier.
“At a time of high unemployment and stagnanteconomic growth, allowing direct cash transfers be-tween the U.S. and Cuba provides a unique opportu-nity to create jobs and stimulate economic develop-ment in rural America. U.S. farmers and ranchersshould be able to do business with customers in theUnited States’ backyard. It just makes sense. I en-courage the full Senate to pass this amendment inits current form as quickly as possible.”

Answers to last week’s puzzles
(NAPSA) — Increasingly, many healthcare profes-sionals are promoting the benefits of a plant-baseddiet.
For instance, the 2010 Dietary Guidelines forAmericans point out that a shift in food intake pat-terns to a more plant-based diet-one that empha-sizes fruits, vegetables, whole grains and nuts-canhelp Americans live better.
Peanuts and a healthy dietHere’s how peanuts can play a role in such a diet:• Plant-based proteins, such as peanuts, do not
contain cholesterol and have relatively low levels ofsaturated fat. In fact, the FDA has approved peanutsas part of a heart-healthy eating plan, saying “scien-tific evidence suggests, but does not prove, that eat-ing 1.5 ounces per day of most nuts, includingpeanuts, as part of a diet low in saturated fat andcholesterol, may reduce the risk of heart disease.”
• Peanuts and peanut butter are nutrient rich. At7 grams per serving, peanuts have more proteinthan any other nut.
• According to the latest USDA food guidelines, weshould all consider adding plant-based proteins toour diets-even replacing a percentage of animal-based proteins with them.
• Plus, plant-based proteins are higher in fiberthan animal-based proteins. Fiber aids digestion,and eating a diet high in fiber may result in con-suming fewer calories over the course of the daybecause it helps promote a feeling of fullness.
• Antioxidants help reduce the damaging effects ofoxygen in tissues. Nuts are superfoods with antioxi-dant capacity that meets or beats other fruits andvegetables.
Bringing plant-based protein to the tableExperts say two-thirds of your plate should consist
of vegetables, whole grains, beans, nuts and fruit,and one-third-or less-of your plate should be animalprotein.
By including familiar foods in your diet, such aspeanuts and peanut butter, you may be more willing
to try new recipes. Here’s an example:Peanut Apple Toastie
Ingredients:2 slices bread, toasted and buttered2 tablespoons peanut butter1/2 apple, slicedLemon juiceCinnamon1 teaspoon brown sugarPreparation:Spread peanut butter on one side of each of the 2
slices of toasted bread. Dip apple slices in lemonjuice. Arrange apple slices on peanut butter andsprinkle with brown sugar and cinnamon. Put on abaking sheet and place under broiler. Broil 3-5 min-utes or until lightly browned.

Peanuts pack a punch of nutrition
Peanut butter and apples combine in this toasty treat.
Q: Are apples as good for you as other fruits are?A: Apples may seem like the plain-Jane of produce,
but they offer plenty of nutritional punch.First, the basics. A medium-sized 3-inch diameter
apple (about 182 grams, or 6.5 ounces) has just 95calories and gives you 4 grams of fiber — about 10 to15 percent of what you need each day, including bothsoluble and insoluble fiber — as well as good helpingsof vitamin C and potassium. Apples are an easy, inex-pensive way to meet the Dietary Guidelines recom-mendation to eat 1.5 to 2 cups of fruit per day.
But a couple of recent studies indicate that, likeother fruits and vegetables, apples’ benefits go farbeyond the basics.
In an analysis of studies done primarily since 2004in Advances in Nutrition, the author suggests thatapples’ rich concentration of antioxidants and phyto-chemicals could help ward off cancer, cardiovasculardisease, asthma and Alzheimer’s disease. They couldeven have positive effects related to cognitive declineseen in normal aging, diabetes, weight management,bone health, pulmonary function and gastrointestinalprotection.
In addition, findings from a Dutch study of morethan 20,000 people in the September issue of Stroke:
Journal of the American Heart Association, broughtmore good news. The study found that a high intakeof apples, pears and other white-fleshed fruits andvegetables reduced the risk of stroke by 52 percent.The researchers said that each 25-gram increase (justshy of an ounce) in white fruit and vegetable intakeper day was linked with a 9 percent lower risk ofstroke. Other white-fleshed produce, including cauli-flower, bananas, chicory and cucumber, had the sameeffect, but apples and pears were more commonlyeaten.
Nutrition experts recommend eating apples withtheir skin: Nearly half of an apple’s vitamin C is justbelow the skin’s surface, and the skin also has mostof an apple’s insoluble fiber content.
Apples come in hundreds of varieties; some are bet-ter for baking or sauces; others are better for eatingfresh. It also suggests storing apples in the refrigera-tor (32 to 35 degrees F is ideal) in a perforated plasticbag. It’s best to wash apples immediately before eat-ing or adding to a recipe by rinsing in cool water.

HARRISBURG. PA — State Trea-surer Rob McCord announced Sept.21 that farmers and volunteer fire,ambulance, and rescue squads fac-ing a Sept. 30 deadline to apply forliquid fuel tax refunds now have anextra month to submit their applica-tions to the Pennsylvania Board ofFinance and Revenue.
McCord, who serves as the board’schairman, said the extension shouldhelp farmers and volunteer fire andEMS squads that are trying to recoverand regroup from damaging floods ear-lier this month.
“Volunteer fire and EMS squadsworked around the clock to serve andprotect their communities during therecent floods, and Pennsylvania farm-ers are focused on salvaging theircrops in the wake of dangerousweather,” McCord said. “These peopleall have enough to worry about —without additional concerns overwhether they can file their liquid fueltax refund applications on time. Thisextension will give those farmers andheroic volunteer squads the addition-al time they need to regroup and con-centrate on recovery.”
McCord noted the extension appliesto farmers in 27 counties declared fed-eral disaster areas: Adams, Bradford,Bucks, Chester, Columbia, Cumber-land, Dauphin, Delaware, Lancaster,Lebanon, Lehigh, Luzerne, Lycoming,
Monroe, Montgomery, Montour,Northampton, Northumberland, Perry,Philadelphia, Schuylkill, Snyder, Sulli-van, Susquehanna, Union, Wyomingand York.
Any agricultural producer who usesliquid fuels — such as gasoline orundyed diesel — as part of their pro-duction operation is eligible to applyfor a refund. Producers may claim fuelused to operate regular licensed vehi-cles as part of production within a 25mile radius of the farm. Trucks, pick-ups, vans, and four-wheel drive vehi-cles, as well as machinery that re-quires fuel to operate, are eligible.
Volunteer fire, ambulance, and res-cue squads incorporated as a non-profit are also eligible for this refundfor liquid fuels taxes on gasoline andclear diesel. Squads must provide acopy of their Articles of Incorporationor Charter as well as proof of liquidfuels tax payment when applying forthe refund.
The board’s application deadline ex-tension is in line with other extensionsthe Internal Revenue Service and thePennsylvania Department of Revenueinstituted for state and federal taxes.

Slurry manure is typi-cally generated in sys-tems where little or nobedding is added to theexcreted manure/urine.Slurry manure is typical-ly between 5 and 15 per-cent solids. It is “thicker”than liquid manure, butcannot be stacked orhandled the same way assolid manure.
Collecting SlurryManure
Slotted FloorThe simplest manure
collection arrangementfor slurry manure is theslotted or perforated floorover a manure collectiontank. In this scenario ex-creted manure simplyfalls through openings inthe floor on which theanimals stand and col-lects in a tank below.
ScrapersSlurry manure can
also be collected usingscrapers. In this case themanure is usually con-fined in an alley (dairyfreestall barn) or gutterunder slats (swine con-finement building). Ascraper moves along thelength of the alley or gut-ter and deposits the slur-ry manure in a receptionpit or tank at the end.
VaccuumAnother type of slurry
manure collection deviceutilizes a vacuum to“suck” slurry manurefrom a concrete surfaceand deposit it into atank. This approacheliminates the need topump the slurry manureinto a tank or wagon.
Slurry PumpsSlurry manure has flu-
id properties that allow itto be moved by pumpsthat are specially de-signed to handle thickfluids containing solidsand stringy material.Slurry manure pumpsare designed with open-type impellers and usu-ally have cutting orchopping devices at the
inlet to the impeller tominimize plugging prob-lems. Low-pressure/high volumeslurry pumps are used tofill tankwagons andmove manure in otherapplications where high-er pressures are not re-quired. High-pressureslurry pumps are used tomove manure throughlong pipelines and pro-vide the needed pressurefor land application incrop fields.
High pressure slurrymanure pumps canmove manure long dis-tances through pipelinesto field applicationequipment.

The following statement was madeon Sept. 23 by John Wilson, SeniorVice President of Dairy Farmers ofAmerica Inc.:
“Since the devastating dairy econo-my crash of 2009, dairy farmers, in-dustry organizations and cooperatives— including Dairy Farmers of Ameri-ca, Inc. (DFA) — have worked to devel-op a new system that better protectsthe interests of dairymen in a highlyvolatile industry.
“Today marks a significant develop-ment in that process. The Dairy Secu-rity Act of 2011 introduced by Repre-
sentatives Collin Peterson (D-MN) andMike Simpson (R-ID) is a critical stepforward for the dairy industry, and theleadership demonstrated by Petersonand Simpson is commendable.
“With the bipartisan bill now beforeCongress, it is vitally important thatthe momentum for dairy policy reformdoes not waver. The Dairy Security Actof 2011 provides producers options toprotect their margins and the ability tostrengthen exports, both of which willbe instrumental in maintaining the vi-tality of the U.S. dairy industry.”

WASHINGTON, D.C. —On Sept. 13, Representa-tive Timothy V. Johnson,Chairman of the HouseAgriculture Committee’sSubcommittee on RuralDevelopment, Research,Biotechnology, and For-eign Agriculture, held anaudit hearing to examine
U.S. Department of Agri-culture (USDA) rural de-velopment programs.This is the eleventh andfinal hearing in the auditseries designed to pro-vide members of thecommittee with a greaterunderstanding of farmpolicy. Since June, the
subcommittee chairmenhave examined programsin their respective juris-dictions to determinespending trends andconfirm whether the pur-pose and goals of agri-cultural programs arebeing met successfully.
The hearing provided areview of the programsadministered by USDA’sRural Developmentagency, which includesthe Rural Business andCooperative Service(RBS), the Rural HousingService (RHS), and theRural Utilities Service
(RUS). RBS provides helpto rural areas to developjob opportunities. RHSmanages housing needs,as well as health facili-ties, fire and police sta-tions, and other commu-nity facilities. RUS ad-dresses needs for basicservices such as water,sewer, waste disposal,electricity, and telecom-munications.
“The continuing discus-sions in Congress onspending and the budgethave added impetus toour discussions today.Through this series of
hearings we are assessinghow USDA is utilizing theauthorities providedthrough this committee,and where scarce fundsare being allocated. As weapproach the next farmbill, it is important that wehave a clear idea of howprograms are being imple-mented as we look for op-portunities to streamlineand improve them,” saidChairman Timothy V.Johnson (R-IL).
“We heard testimonytoday regarding the many
challenges facing ruralAmerica and this admin-istration’s efforts to lever-age increasingly limitedfederal dollars to positionrural communities tocompete in this globaleconomy. From ruralbroadband initiatives tolending for rural housing,we ought to ensure USDARural Development pro-grams meet the needs ofrural communities inevery corner of the coun-try,” said Ranking Mem-ber Jim Costa (D-CA).
used to transport ormove slurry manurefrom one point to anoth-er, usually from a ma-nure storage facility to acrop field. Tankwagonsare available in a varietyof sizes from small (1,000gallons) to quite large(12,000 gallons).Tankwagons typicallyserve the dual function oftransporting slurry ma-nure to a crop field andspreading or injecting themanure into the soil forcrop nutrient uptake.
PipelinesSince slurry manure
has fluid properties itcan be pumped throughpipelines from storage tocrop field as an alterna-tive to hauling with atankwagon. Pumping isa “continuous flow”process whereas haulingis necessarily a “batch”process. Hence pumpingcan offer significant ad-vantages over hauling inmoving large amounts ofmanure in shorterlengths of time.Tankwagons are general-ly used to move manureover longer distances al-though pipelines havebeen used for distancesup to five miles.
Rigid aluminum irriga-tion pipe has been usedfor pumping slurry ma-
nure in the past. Howeverthe labor advantages ofusing flexible “layflat” tub-ing for pumping make thistype of pipeline more at-tractive in many cases.Long lengths of this tub-ing can be stored on reelsand placed overland withmuch less labor than isrequired with rigid tubing.
Slurry Manure Land Application
Field or land applica-tion of slurry manure re-quires that the applica-tion devices place themanure in the proper lo-cation and at the properrate for good nutrientmanagement practices.Devices which inject orincorporate manure intothe soil are generally pre-ferred since the followingadvantages are associat-ed with this practice.
1. Odor is reduced2. More nutrients are
retained3. Runoff potential is
reducedInjection units place
manure into the soil toreduce odor, conservenutrients and minimizerunoff.
Some injection units aredesigned for sod with min-imal surface disturbance.

Get ready: the fall har-vest season is nearlyupon us. The so-called“lazy” days of summerwill undoubtedly giveway to a very busy har-vest for farmers acrossthe county, increasingthe likelihood for fatigueand risk of injury fortractor operators loggingextra hours in the fields.That is why KubotaTractor Corporation isreminding all tractor andequipment users to
brush up on 10 criticalsafety reminders — Kub-ota’s Ten Command-ments to Tractor Safety— before harvest seasonofficially gets underway.
“At Kubota, we advo-cate for safe operatingpractices year-round,but especially duringpeak seasons like har-vest,” said Greg Embury,vice president of salesand marketing, KubotaTractor Corporation. “Asthe end of summer
moves to fall, it is a goodtime to remind everyonewho operates tractorsand heavy equipment —farmers, ranchers andtheir families — abouttractor safety to helpprevent serious injury orfatality due to an unfor-tunate accident.”Safety starts with useof a Rollover Protec-tive Structure (ROPS)According to the Na-
tional Safety Council, ifall tractors were
equipped with a ROPSand a safety belt, about350 lives would besaved each year. Makesure your tractor — oldand new — has a fullyoperational ROPS. Alongwith a fastened seatbelt,ROPS provides a protec-tive zone around the op-erator, which proves tobe highly effective inpreventing serious in-jury and death due totractor rollovers.
Here are Kubota’s “Ten
Commandments of Trac-tor Safety” and impor-tant reminders for trac-tor operators for a year-round commitment tosafe operating practices:
1. Know your tractor,its implements andhow they work. Pleaseread and understandthe Operator’s Manu-al(s) before operatingthe equipment. Also,keep your equipment ingood condition.
2. Use ROPS and a
seatbelt whenever andwherever applicable. Ifyour tractor has a fold-able ROPS, fold it downonly when absolutelynecessary and fold it upand lock it again as soonas possible. Do not wearthe seatbelt when theROPS is folded.* Mosttractor fatalities arecaused by overturns.(*Kubota Tractor Corpo-ration strongly recom-mends the use of ROPSand seatbelts in almostall applications.)
3. Be familiar withyour terrain and workarea — walk the areafirst to be sure and drivesafely. Use special cau-tion on slopes, slowdown for all turns andstay off the highwaywhenever possible.
4. Never start an en-gine in a closed shed orgarage. Exhaust gas con-tains carbon monoxide,which is colorless, odor-less — and deadly.
5. Always keep yourPTO properly shielded.Make it a habit to walkaround your tractor andPTO driven implement —never walk over, throughor between the tractorand implement, particu-larly if either is running.The PTO rotates withenough speed andstrength to kill you.
6. Keep your hitcheslow and always on thedrawbar. Otherwise,your tractor might flipover backwards.
7. Never get off a mov-ing tractor or leave itwith its engine running.Shut it down before leav-ing the seat.
8. Never refuel whilethe engine is running orhot. Additionally, do notadd coolant to the radia-tor while the engine ishot; hot coolant canerupt and scald.
9. Keep all children offand away from your trac-tor and its implements atall times. Children aregenerally attracted totractors and the workthey do. However, a trac-tor’s work is not child’splay. Remember, achild’s disappointment isfleeting, while your mem-ory of his or her injury ordeath resulting from rid-ing the tractor with you,or being too close, willlast a lifetime.
10. Never be in a hurryor take chances aboutanything you do withyour tractor. Think safe-ty first, then take yourtime and do it right.

er 3,2011percent above a year ago. Total cheesestocks, at 1.06 billion pounds, weredown 2 percent from July and virtuallyunchanged from a year ago.
The cash cheese market dropped fol-lowing the milk production report butinched up following the Cold Storagedata. The 40-pound cheese blocksclosed the fourth Friday in Septemberat $1.7275 per pound, down a nickel onthe week, and 2 1/4-cents below a yearago. The 500-pound barrels closed at$1.7075, down a penny and a quarteron the week, and 2 3/4-cents below ayear ago. Twenty five cars of block trad-ed hands on the week and 22 of barrel.The NASS-surveyed U.S. average blockprice fell to $1.8159, down 5.9 cents,and the barrels averaged $1.7815,down 2.2 cents.
Spot butter closed Friday at $1.77,down another 13 1/4-cents on theweek, and 46 cents below a year ago. Ithas lost 23 1/2-cents in four weeks.Three cars found new homes this week.NASS butter averaged $1.9393, down9.6 cents.
Cash Grade A nonfat dry milk held allweek at $1.49 while the Extra Gradelost 3 cents, slipping to $1.58. NASSpowder averaged $1.5364, down 2.1cents, and dry whey averaged 59.08cents, up 0.2 cent.
The October Federal order Class Ibase milk price was announced byUSDA at $19.56 per hundredweight,down $2.22 from September, but still$2.98 above October 2010. It equates toabout $1.68 per gallon and pulled the2011 average down to $19.26, still$4.26 above a year ago at this time, and$8.17 above 2009.
The NASS butter price averaged$1.9893 per pound, down 9.6 centsfrom September. Nonfat dry milk aver-aged $1.5461, down 3.4 cents. Cheeseaveraged $1.8347, down 3.2 cents,and dry whey averaged 59 cents, up2.6 cents.
No MILC payment to producers is ex-pected for October but is possible forNovember and/or December, accordingto our sources. There have been noMILC payments since October 2009.
The CME’s Daily Dairy Report warnsthat Americans continue to drink lessmilk. Estimated milk use in the May toJuly period was off 2.4 percent from lastyear and down 4.3 percent from twoyears ago, according to Federal Orderand California data. Sales were down 1.8percent in the first seven months of theyear and July was the worst month in atleast 15 years, according to the DDR.USDA says sales were down 4.5 percent
from a year ago however estimated salesof total organic fluid milk products in-creased 10.7 percent from 2010.
In politics, with the issue of supplymanagement threatening the future ofNational Milk’s “Foundation for the Fu-ture” (FFTF) dairy policy reform proposal,the Federation announced it would mod-ify its plan. Dairy Profit Weekly editorDave Natzke reported in his Friday Dairy-Line program that the revisions wouldmake participation in the supply man-agement portion voluntary. However, par-ticipation in the supply management pro-gram, called the Dairy Management Sta-bilization Program, would be a prerequi-site for farmer eligibility for income insur-ance payments under the Dairy ProducerMargin Protection Program.
“By making the program voluntaryinstead of mandatory, it also eliminatesanother controversial area,” Natzkesaid. “Under the previous plan, half ofall money collected under the DairyManagement Stabilization Programwould have gone to the U.S. Treasury.Now, all funds could go to purchasedairy products to be used for feedingprograms.”
Instead of specifying comprehensivechanges to the federal milk marketingorder system, the revised plan man-dates USDA to replace current end-product pricing formulas and make al-lowances with a competitive pay priceformula, but leaves the method up to adairy farmer vote.
The plan still calls for elimination ofthe Dairy Price Support and Milk In-come Loss Contract programs and therevisions were rolled into legislationdrafted by Rep. Collin Peterson, Rank-ing Member on the House Ag Commit-tee, and Rep. Mike Simpson, Idaho Re-publican.
In a Friday morning conference call,Peterson reported that he would intro-duce the bill (“Dairy Security Act of2011”) that afternoon in the House withNational Milk’s modifications. He saidsupport is growing for the plan but, be-cause of delays in getting the originalbill scored by the Congressional BudgetOffice, it will now likely be part of thenew Farm Bill. The International DairyFoods Association said the changes tothe FFTF still “miss the mark.”
Natzke also reported that a seconddairy policy reform plan was outlinedthis week, this one from U.S. Sen.Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.), a memberof the Senate Ag Committee. Gilli-brand’s plan addresses the supplymanagement issue by limiting it to re-gional supply and demand conditions,
instead of a national balancing plan.She would also incorporate income in-surance into the existing MILC pro-gram, using production limits to deter-mine insurance payment eligibility, andasks USDA to evaluate changes to fed-eral milk marketing orders.
Meanwhile; Dairy Profit Weekly re-ports that several dairy organizationssent a letter to House Agriculture Com-mittee leaders, opposing supply man-agement provisions contained in im-pending dairy policy reform legislation.The organizations urged lawmakers toreject the Dairy Market StabilizationProgram, proposed in National Milk’sFFTF program and included in the leg-islation authored by RepresentativeCollin Peterson.
Co-signing the letter were the DairyBusiness Association, a Wisconsin-based producer organization, alongwith its marketing co-op, Dairy Busi-ness Milk Marketing Cooperative; theboard of directors of Bongards’ Cream-eries, Minnesota Milk Producers Asso-ciation, First District Association, all ofMinnesota; Alliance Dairies, Florida;Dairy Policy Action Coalition, Pennsyl-vania; High Desert Milk, Idaho; Nation-al All-Jersey, Inc., headquartered inOhio; and the Northeast Dairy Produc-ers Association.
On the other hand; the Holstein As-sociation USA’s board of directors con-firmed their support of discussiondraft legislation containing major com-ponents of the Foundation for the Fu-ture program, stating that “The DairyMarket Stabilization part of the pro-gram is key, and a major reason for theAssociation’s support of the program,”according to Holstein Association pres-ident Chuck Worden.
In yet another political issue; the Na-tional Family Farm Coalition and 56 al-lied organizations representing familyfarmers, ranchers, fishermen and advo-cates signed a letter to Congress con-demning the pending free trade agree-ments (FTAs) with South Korea, Colom-bia, and Panama.
As the letter states, more FTAs willonly accelerate the economic disastersin agriculture: industrial farms depend-ent on massive amounts of petroleum-based inputs, low-paying exploitativejobs in processing and packing plants,and increased consolidation throughoutthe agricultural supply chain.

While we’re talking about internation-
al markets; the Global Dairy Trade(Fonterra) auction index dropped to itslowest level in more than a year withlarge declines in anhydrous milkfat(AMF) and skim milk powder (SMP), ac-cording to the CME’s Daily Dairy Re-port. The weighted average price forAMF was $1.74 per pound, down 11.2percent from the September 6 auctionand the lowest price since AMF came onthe auction in November 2009. SMPwas $1.47 per pound, down 6.2 percentfrom the previous event. Whole milkpowder (WMP) and cheese were slightlyhigher. The WMP price was $1.52, up1.1 percent.
Cheddar cheese for industrial usereceived an average winning bid of$1.84 per pound, up 0.6 percent fromthe prior auction. The trade-weightedaverage price for all products wasdown 2.1 percent from the previousevent, the seventh straight decline,according to the DDR.
Milk production patterns in Northeastwere once again impacted by weatheractivity with the latest tropical stormcreating the expected issues from thefarm level to consumer buying patterns,according to USDA’s latest update onSeptember 16.
Several processing plants were shutdown due to water and utility problems.The farm level milk production impactwas still being assessed. Milk was beingshipped to other manufacturing plantsfor processing help.
Midwestern milk production is mostlysteady with recent weeks and process-ing plants are taking expected volumes.Milk production conditions in theSouthwest are improving and reflectcooler weather conditions. Milk volumesare steady to slightly higher. In the Pa-cific Northwest, Utah, and Idaho, milkoutput is down marginally while compo-nent levels are increasing.
Weather is playing a role in contract-ing milk supplies across many coun-tries in Western Europe. Hot and dryweather in recent weeks has loweredmilk production and the rate of increasehas narrowed. Season ending volumesare now closer to year ago levels. Cur-rency declines have affected export po-tential, making products more likely tobe exported at lower relative value.
Australian milk production reportspeg July output at 1.1 percent lowerwhen compared to July 2010. NewZealand production is trending season-ally higher at levels above a year ago,when conditions were poor.
Mielke from 16
WASHINGTON, D.C. — U.S. Trans-portation Secretary Ray LaHood joinedwith Washington officials and con-struction industry leaders at the con-struction site for DC’s 11th StreetBridge Project and called on Congressto pass the American Jobs Act andmake significant investments in job-creating infrastructure projects. Hewas joined at the event by WashingtonMayor Vincent C. Gray, DDOT DirectorTerry Bellamy, and Associated GeneralContractors CEO Steven Sandherr.
LaHood said, “We’ve got unemployedconstruction workers, standing by,ready to roll up their sleeves right now.This is the moment for Congress to setaside the politics and partisanship, topass the American Jobs Act and to putAmerica back to work.”
In his address to the nation, Presi-
dent Barack Obama called on Con-gress to pass the American Jobs Act,which will invest in job-creating trans-portation projects and establish a Na-tional Infrastructure Bank, a conceptwith strong bipartisan support. Thereis also wide agreement among busi-ness leaders, labor unions, economistsand elected officials that making sig-nificant investments in America’sroads, rails, and airports will not onlyput hundreds of thousands of peopleto work quickly, it is crucial to the na-tion’s future economic growth andprosperity.
Steven Sandherr, CEO of the Associ-ated General Contractors, said, “Thereare few more effective ways to creategood jobs, deliver great roads, build astrong economy and protect taxpayersthan to invest in infrastructure. That is
why the Associated General Contrac-tors of America stands with the Presi-dent and everyone else that is willing tomake the investments needed to reviveour industry and rebuild our econo-my.” Associated General Contractors isone of the nation’s largest trade associ-ations for the construction industry.
Secretary LaHood also called onCongress to immediately pass an ex-tension of the surface transportationbill, which is set to expire on Sept. 30.If Congress allows the current surfacetransportation extension to expire,more than 4,000 federal employees willimmediately go without pay. If Con-gress delays actions for just 10 daysbeyond that, nearly $1 billion in high-way funding that could be spent onconstruction projects across the na-tion would be lost. And if Congress
waits even longer, almost 1 millionworkers could be in danger of losingtheir jobs over the next year.
Secretary LaHood spoke at the con-struction site of the 11th Street BridgeProject in Washington, which could beshut down if Congress fails to pass asurface transportation extension bySept. 30. There are roughly 380 work-ers on the 11th Street Bridge project,which will reduce congestion by re-placing two existing bridges with threenew bridges and improving inter-changes for local and freeway traffic.By 2030, these bridges will serve al-most 180,000 vehicles every day —helping the region become more eco-nomically competitive. Scheduled forcompletion in 2013, the $300-millionproject is being completed with $189million in federal-aid.
Secretary LaHood and transportation leaders join President Obama’s callfor job-creating infrastructure investments
