2012 KDDC Year in Review
Supported by
Every year brings opportunities and challenges for the dairy industry, however some years standout as unique. This past year, 2012, will be considered a year to remember with the onset of the worst U.S. drought in the last 50 years combined with excessive heat stressing crops and animals. While the drought captured the attention of every dairy farmer other issues and events also were taking place.
The KDDC Dairy Consultant Program:The KDDC, working through the KY Dairy Consultants program,
was available to help producers locate feed/forage supplies, provide consultations with UK Dairy Extension specialist and CES Agents to maximize returns where requested. They also provided industry assistance and program sign-up in the KDDC MILK Program, KADF/GOAP Energizing KY Agriculture grants, helping with application paperwork and whatever was needed. The Consultants worked with producers on milk quality issues, involving SCC and/or bacteria/P.I. counts which were limiting premium qualifying.
The Consultant program also saw the hiring of Teri Atkins, Knob Lick, to cover Central KY. This filled the position formerly held by Denise Jones, who was hired as Manager of Industry Relations KY/TN with SUDIA.
During 2012 the KDDC Dairy Consultants documented 1,939 dairy farm visits. They were involved with Dairy Promotion reaching more than 4,500 children and adults in a variety of venues providing education on dairy farming, the production of milk and the nutritious value of dairy products for good health. The Consultants were collectively involved in 26 educational meetings during 2012. Involvement included planning, organizing, program participation and/or attending. The KDDC Dairy Consultants are working every day for the interest of KY dairy producers.
The KDDC Young Dairy Producer Initiative:In 2011 there was interest expressed to start a Young Dairy Producer
Statewide Organization. Six regional meetings were held for the purpose to measure response. It was determined that rather than form a new group, the KDDC would work with young producers who wanted to have educational meetings, whether on the farm or in the classroom. They would then utilize the Young Dairy Producer Conference as the “big event” for statewide participation.
The eastern and north central area of the state held a meeting at the
UK Coldstream Farm and Diagnostic Lab in Lexington with 35 plus attendees. A Lincoln/Pulaski Co. group held a meeting to learn more about understanding the DHIA information. KDDC promoted the Green River DHIA Association Farmer Discussion at Peden Dairy organized by Dave Sammons and members of the Association.
The Young Dairy Producer Conference was held in conjunction with the KY Dairy Partners Meeting for the first time. The one-day event saw 111 participants from all areas of KY enjoy a day packed with interesting topics. The “Millionaire Dairyman Model” provided by Dr. Larry Tranel, IA State was a tremendous hit with an impromptu talk set up for the next day. Over 60 producers set in on the discussion.
The KY Dairy Partners Meeting and Trade Show were held for the first time in the University Plaza Holiday Inn Sloan Center. Attendance was up for the event and producers and allied industry representatives enjoyed the new format.
The Market Incentive Leadership for Kentucky, (MILK) Program:KY’s total milk production was up 1.1 percent in 2012 over 2011.
We believe much of that can be contributed to the Market Incentive Leadership for Kentucky (MILK) Program. It continues to set new benchmarks with 25 percent of all KY dairy farmers participating and over 45 percent of Kentucky’s annual milk production signed on the program. A total of $713,741.33 was distributed in the first three quarters of 2012. Nearly $800,000 is estimated to be paid out for the year exceeding 2011’s mark by $183,000. We are very fortunate to have the milk marketing partners agreeing to participate again in 2013. The KDDC goal is to reach $1,000,000 in total distribution. That’s a lot of good quality milk!
State and National Issues Affecting Dairy Farmers: KDDC has worked hard to represent KY dairy farmers in a variety
of issues. On a state level, KDDC was instrumental in bringing the industry together to prevent a law which would allow the sale of unpasteurized milk with no regulations. This would give an unfair advantage to some farms while most dairies in KY are required by law to be inspected and permitted.
The KDDC along with other agricultural groups worked to stop the U.S Department of Labor (DOL) from implementing new child labor laws for children under 16 years of age. One rule would allow children under 15 to only work on their parents’ farm. Another
KDDC is supported in part by a grant from the Kentucky Agricultural Development Fund

KY Milk Matters produced by Carey Brown
I have appreciated the opportunity to serve as the president of KDDC. The challenges faced by dairy
farmers over the past several years will continue into the future. There will be pressure from environmental groups, the animal rights folks,
and market forces, government regulations not to mention the everyday experiences of weather, raising crops and livestock along with doing business in general.
President’s CornerBob Klingenfus
Having a statewide organization which looks out for the well-being of its members is invaluable. As producers we can’t always be on top of each situation nor know all we need to know about every issue. It is important to have people working to address concerns that affect dairy farmers.
This is one of the most important and least acknowledged contributions KDDC makes to KY’s dairy farmers. When we look back over the course of the year, many things occurred which could have major effects on our bottom line. National dairy policy which could limit your ability to produce and market milk; waste management regulations, which could affect the way you dispose of manure from animals on your farm;
Labor laws which could prohibit your children from working on the farm until they reach 15 or 16 years of age; KDDC was involved in these issues and many more working to provide representation for dairy farmers by dairy farmers.
I would also like to say thank you to the many people who have helped me in making decisions and supported my efforts to improve KY’s dairy situation. It has been a pleasure in the effort.
Lastly, I have enjoyed representing KDDC and look forward to having one more year to serve on the board. It has been an honor to lead such a great group of people who share the same love as I have for dairy farming. I thank you for your confidence you’ve expressed in me.
would keep children under 16 from driving most power equipment. Letters were written to educate officials and KY’s Congressional Delegation of the unintended consequences of such a law. The DOL withdrew their proposal after hearing from agricultural groups.
National Dairy Policy has been an ongoing discussion leading up to the 2012 Farm Bill. KDDC has listened to KY dairy farmers on the issues of marginal insurance, supply management and Federal Order reform and asked for counsel on the proposals from educated sources to make the best decisions for KY dairy farmers. As the plans have evolved, KDDC leadership has evaluated them in light of those changes and made recommendations to policy makers based on that process. The goal has always been to do what is understood as best for KY’s dairy farmers.
KADF Grant Approved by the KY Agricultural Development Fund BoardIn November, the Kentucky Agricultural Development Fund Board approved
the KDDC for funding for 2013 and 2014. This action displays the trust and confidence the board has in the work KDDC is doing on behalf of Kentucky’s dairy farmers.

When issues that affect the future of agriculture come before Kentucky’s governing
bodies, who speaks up for farmers? Who promotes growth of agribusiness? Who defends
the rural values and lifestyle that are so much the backbone of this great state? Since 1919,
that has been a role played by Kentucky Farm Bureau. And it’s no different today. With
representatives and offices in all 120 counties, Kentucky Farm Bureau sees the big picture
and understands the local issues. That’s why people on the farm, in small towns,
and even in major cities, benefit from the voice of Kentucky Farm Bureau.

Right now, when every penny counts, isn’t it time you tried DHIA?DHIA Records should be one of the fi rst things you consider when you have to watch every penny with your dairy cows. DHIA gives you more for your money. Contrary to those lame excuses you sometimes hear about DHIA costing too much, well they’re just not true. DHIA Management Records can cost as little as 1% of your total cost of producing milk.Without management information at your fi ngertips, how can you tell which cows are your best producers? Which cows are spreading formation you need to feed, breed and cull your herd. DHIA helps your bottom line. Isn’t it about time you gave us a try?Our organization has the emphasis on service, with each customer’s individual needs as or fi rst priority.
