by Sally Colby If your horse has always picked up

leads easily and then doesn’t, what doyou do? Call the vet, the farrier or havea friend watch the horse go? Perhapsthe saddle doesn’t fit properly, or thehorse is unhappy with the bit you’reusing? When all else fails, manyequestrians, from weekend trail afi-cionados to competitive riders, haveturned to equine massage for solu-tions.

Jennifer Parks is a certified equinemassage therapist who wanted to getout of the 9 to 5 routine she had beenin. She attended an equine massageschool, and now helps relieve pain inhurting horses and helps riders reachtheir performance goals.

“I first experienced massage formyself for migraines,” said Jennifer. “Ihad an appreciation for what it coulddo.” Jennifer attended an equine mas-sage school in Ocala, FL, where manytop-level horses compete. The schoolrequired students to have prior experi-ence in handling horses so that theycould concentrate on the intricacies ofthe craft. The course involved learninga lot of anatomy and physiology alongwith practical work on many types ofperformance horses with varioussoundness issues.

After receiving certification, Jenniferworked on her friends’ horses to fur-ther her ability to ‘feel’ problem areasand work them out. She also spenttime at Penn National race track. “Onthe track, it’s horses’ backs that aresore,” she said. “It’s their lifestyle — alot of hard work and no turnout.”Jennifer has found that each disciplinehas common issues. For example,hunters and jumpers seem to have sti-fle issues, and horses that are workedover higher jumps will often have ham-string problems.

Most of Jennifer’s clients callbecause they’ve noticed a change intheir horse’s performance. She saysthat if a horse is experiencing deepmuscular soreness, they aren’t goingto want to work. A sore horse will havetrouble controlling the finer move-ments in their body, which means thatthe rider won’t be able to get what theywant.

Although Jennifer doesn’t have toknow the details about a horse’s prob-lem prior to the first massage, she saysthat it’s helpful to have some basicinformation. “It helps me to know

where to look,” she said, adding thatthe owner’s goal is the priority. “Imight find a lot of things wrong, butwhat I really need to know from theowner is what is bothering them. Ithelps to create a complete picture ofwhat’s going on.”

Many horses have chronic muscularproblems that are the result of poorconformation. “For every conforma-tional defect in the horse, there is acorresponding muscle problem,” saidJennifer. “Once you take away the toplayer of pain where everything isbound up, the issue becomes appar-ent.” With these horses, Jennifer findsthat a maintenance program is the keyto obtaining good performance. Shealso finds that multiple horses are rid-den by the same rider will often havethe same issue. “That doesn’t meanthe person is a poor rider,” she said. “Itmeans that the rider’s own physicallimitations cause problems for thehorse. But sometimes the horse has aproblem that is the result of earlytraining, or from the way the horse hasbeen ridden. Those problems areingrained, whether they’re physical ormental. In some cases, the damage isalready done, and in the short turn,you need to get rid of the problemthat’s already there.”

Another common issue Jenniferfinds in performance horses is poorsaddle fit, even with costly top-namesaddles. She urges riders to make surethat the saddle fit is right for thehorse. She’s also a strong proponentfor wool pads that, when used on thesame horse, mold to that horse’s backover time.

As far as the horse’s response dur-ing massage, Jennifer says it’s a mat-ter of understand the horse’s bodylanguage. She can tell when she hitstrigger points, and can see when thehorse relaxes once a particular musclegroup is relieved. “What amazes me isthat when I hit a spot that I know isreally sore, they relax. I’ve had somethat will kick and bite and are resist-ant at first, but they usually open upand relax.”

What Jennifer enjoys most aboutequine massage is identifying andworking on trigger points. “They’re thenerve control center in the muscle,”she said, adding that there are hun-dreds of trigger points throughout thebody. “That’s what makes massage sovery important and beneficial. It’s the

most painful work, but through thatone point, you’re able to effect changein the whole muscle. It’s a matter ofknowing which trigger points to lookfor when a certain problem exists, andaddressing all of the trigger points.”

Equine massage is not a substitutefor veterinary care, but it can be incor-porated as part of an overall programfor a horse’s care. Jennifer says thatshe is pleased with the professionalinteraction she’s had with most veteri-narians. “They’ve embraced it,” shesaid, adding that she’s been practicingequine massage for12 years. “They

treat me as a professional.”Jennifer says those considering

massage therapy for their horseshould rely on personal references.“They (the equine massage therapist)should be up front and let you knowwhat techniques they use,” she said.And although most chronic problemswill require the expertise of an equinemassage therapist, Jennifer says thatanyone can learn basic massage tech-niques to use on their own horse.

Jennifer Parks accepts new clients inall disciplines, and can be contacted [email protected].

by Sally ColbyJohn Ruedinger, a Wisconsin dairy

producer who found that strategicmarketing has increased profits, saysthat hedging line of credit is whereworking with the dairy team is critical.

“How many dollars do you need? Itdepends on your risk appetite,” hesaid. “What’s the size of your dairy?You need to have a lender you can talkto.” The bank obtains the loan (thehedging account agreement) with theproducer and the brokerage firm, andspecifies when the bank can drawmoney from the client. Ruedinger saysthat the account must be balanced atthe end of the day, every day.

Ruedinger devotes time to strategicmarketing each day. “I get e-mailsevery day from Stewart Peterson,” hesaid. “Conversations with the brokermight depend on how fast the marketis moving. But the buck stops withme.” With a risk management pro-gram, Ruedinger says that it’s impor-tant to work with a trusted financeperson to track costs. It’s also criticalto have a good balance sheet. Debitsinclude fees and commissions, optionsexpense, checks disbursed andfutures losses. Credits include options

income, checks received and futuresgains.

“We’re fine-tuning our accountingprogram to balance, and know wheredebits and credits are,” he said. “Knowwhich columns to put numbers in toget the hedging account balanced, andknow what the true profit and lossesare. Keep track of beginning balance,profit and loss, and activity for themonth. Know where the endingaccount balances are.”

As far as funding the margin callson futures contracts, options are pur-chased through the ChicagoMercantile Exchange. Ruedingerworks directly with his bank — he hasa brokerage account, and the bankreceives the same statements he does.

“The brokerage account gains valuewhen the contracts are favorable,” hesaid, “and loses value when it isn’t. Inthe end, the margin account has to bebalanced — cash is going in and out ofthe checking account wheneverthere’s a margin call requirement.”

Ruedinger begins the budgetingprocess in October. He relies on inputfrom his nutritionist to allow for feedneeds, and the dairy manager for esti-mated milk production. He sends a

first draft to his finance manager, andthen a final draft to Stewart Peterson.Many members of the team are awareof the dairy’s entire financial picture.

“The dairy manager sees the profitsheet every month, and the nutrition-ist sees it,” said Ruedinger, addingthat he doesn’t share finance informa-tion with all of his employees.

“Our employees know when timesare tough. It’s the communication wehave in all aspects of the businessthat allows me to let some of this rolloff my shoulders when things don’t goas well as we’d like. In January, thebudget is reviewed, everyone on theteam gives a report, and StewartPeterson provides insight as to wherethey think markets will be.

The team focuses on best costsrather than least costs — what can bedone to reduce feed costs that won’thurt the cows? For example, during arecent visit with the nutritionist,Ruedinger found that the price of cot-tonseed was over $400 per ton. Thefarm is currently over budget on pro-tein and energy costs because com-modities have jumped, but Ruedingerdecided to keep using the productsthey were feeding because milk prices

are a little higher.Ruedinger noted that with 2008

milk prices, most dairy producers lost$800 to $1,000 per cow per year.However, through sticking with a milkmarketing program, he minimizedlosses to about $20 per cow permonth. “If you jump in and out whenthings are good and you think you canmake money, that’s when you’re goingto get burned,” he said.

Ruedinger says that the nature ofthe game is volatile prices in thefuture. “There will be higher and lowerswings,” he said. “We just need tohave it a little less volatile in the mid-dle. It’s all about averages — it’s abouttrying to get the middle of the roadprice. But you need a solid plan, andyou need to know what your cost ofproduction is so you can manage it.Sometimes you’re contracting lowerthan your cost because you had alower option. You don’t really want togo lower, but watch receipts and try tomanage the risk side of it. Don’t jumpin and out, and don’t try to outguessthe market. Follow the plan, take theemotion out of the plan, and trustyour lender to work with you.”

Protecting dairy profitability through risk managementPart 3: Ruedinger Farms’ strategic marketing plan and the budget process

The first question a calf raiser might ask whenstarting up a new operation or making changes to anexisting one is: “Which is best for pre-weaned calves— hutches or group pens?” The purpose of this arti-cle is to provide a comparison of advantages and dis-advantages of individual and small group housingfor pre-weaned calves so that dairy farmers and calfraisers can make the best housing decision for theiroperation.

Disease Prevention — The primary purpose ofindividual housing is to limit the spread of diseasebetween pre-weaned calves. There is some evidencethat the prevalence ofsome diarrheal diseaseagents likeCryptosporidium, coc-cidia, and Rotavirus islower when calves arehoused in hutches com-pared to group pens.Group housing of calvesbefore weaning may alsoincrease the odds ofthem shedding E coliO157:H7. Respiratorydisease outbreaks tendto cluster within calfhousing, which impliesthat close contact isindeed important in dis-ease spread. Housing calves in individual hutcheswas a protective factor for pre-weaning calf pneumo-nia compared to calves raised in the presence ofadults. In a study of 236 French dairy farms, inves-tigators found that compared to individual housing,calves housed in group pens after 1 week of age weremore likely to get sick, particularly if they werehoused in groups that had 3 or more weeks in agedifference. Calf mortality appears to be lowest inherds housing calves in hutches compared to othertypes of housing. A Norwegian study found thatcalves housed in group pens had a greater risk ofdying compared to calves housed in individual pensfor the first month of life. However, if managed care-fully, and infection pressure is not high, group hous-ing for pre-weaned calves does not have to predis-pose them to infections. The incidence of diarrheawas actually lower in group housed calves comparedto individually raised calves in a Finnish study.

Calf Welfare and Comfort — Although thereappear to be disease control benefits to rearingcalves in individual hutches, animals raised in con-finement cannot seek the most comfortable“microenvironment” for themselves. However, ifdesigned properly, hutches can allow calves to seekshelter or seek fresh air and sunshine. One studyevaluated the amount of time spent lying in thehutch, in the doorway, and in the outside area ofoutdoor hutches. Calves could capture solar radia-tion as needed in cold weather, shade as needed inhot weather, and were most active during the times

of moderate tempera-tures.

The use of grouphousing might be benefi-cial when consideringthe welfare and social-ization of the calf. Grouphousing, containing 2 to6 calves, provides morecalf interactions andenriches their environ-ment by adding stimu-lus. Group housing canallow for proper social-ization and fulfill calves’requirements for playand movement, but ischallenging for caretak-

ers to keep up on sanitation, manage nutrition, andcontrol disease in large groups. Due to this, calveswill typically encounter higher levels of pathogens atyounger ages when housed in groups, causing high-er disease incidence and death rates.

Size of the Group Matters — A prospective studyof calves indicated that those housed in large grouppens had a higher risk for respiratory disease com-pared to calves in individual housing or small grouppens. Calves housed in group pens fare better insmaller groups of 6 to 9 animals compared to 12 to18 per group. Respiratory disease incidence was low-est in calves housed individually, intermediate inthose housed in small group pens (with 3 to 8calves), and greatest in calves housed in larger grouppens (6 to 30 calves with automated feeders). A con-clusion from this is that if pre-weaned calves aregoing to be housed in group pens, the numbers ofcalves per group needs to be considered.

The specific effect of isolation on calf welfare andbehavior has been examined. Individually-raisedcalves spent more time next to a man in a pasturethan did group-raised calves, indicating a greaterbond to humans than to other calves. A drawback togroup housing for calves is that they can developcross-suckling behaviors.

A study of twin heifer calves and effects of isola-tion versus group rearing found no differences inaverage daily gain between isolated and group-reared calves, and no differences in the behaviorsthey measured. They concluded that isolation wasnot detrimental and may have enhanced thehuman-animal bond. In one large, multi-site exper-iment, calves were raised without being able to seeother calves (isolation) or in individual hutches

Hutches or group pens for pre-weaned calves?

Advantages of individual housing:• Can reduce spread of disease• Can observe individual calf behavior and

health• Can provide specific feed and amount and

observe consumption• Can achieve reasonable weight gain with

no effect on future performanceAdvantages of small group housing:• Better calf socialization• Group size best 6 to 9 calves

Key Points

A prospective study of calves indicated that thosehoused in large group pens had a higher risk for res-piratory disease compared to calves in individualhousing or small group pens.

Growing conditions determine fiberdigestibility, and the right combinationof weather conditions make for an opti-mum silage crop, say experts at PioneerHi-Bred, a DuPont business. Whiletemperatures and moisture levels overthe course of the growing season willset the stage, producers can activelytake steps to preserve silage qualityonce the silage is harvested throughgood management, resulting in betterfeeding material for livestock.

Heat, temperature and light are keyfactors in determining fiber digestibility.In 2010, much of the U.S. saw highertemperatures with low to average rain-fall. This combination was optimum forneutral detergent fiber (NDF). Cool andwet conditions lower NDF digestibility.

Quality preservation techniquesMany factors play into nutritive loss-

es — mainly improper harvest tech-niques and overall bunker management(ensiling and feedout). Harvest tech-niques, like crop maturity, dry matterand chop length, have profound effectson packing density and fermentation.

Knowing individual field conditionsand hybrid maturities helps growerspick the appropriate harvest date.Experts recommend walking fields toexamine crop maturity levels as harvestnears, helping determine if crops are ontarget for the expected harvest date.Under normal conditions, the tasselingdate can serve as another way to check

harvest timing. Harvest is typically six to 10 days

away when the crop is about 3 to 5 per-cent wetter than optimal. Outside fac-tors such as weather and field locationcan affect the rate of maturity and idealmoisture levels for harvesting forage.Additional harvest timing and choppingtips can be found in the Pioneer nutri-tional sciences library at www.pio-neer.com.

From there, all factors for preservingquality depend on keeping oxygen outof the forage mass. This is done in threeways, through packing density, cover-ing the bunk/pile and practicing prop-er feedout management, i.e., defacers.

“As a general rule of thumb, expertssuggest producers strive for an averagepacking density of 15 pounds of drymatter per cubic foot or better,” Putnamsaid.

Putnam recommends producers getthat number closer to 17 dry matterpounds if possible to improve efficien-cies.

“By increasing dry matter density byanother 2 pounds, producers potential-ly save another 1.5 percent dry matterfrom oxygen penetration,” Putnamadds. “Dry matter loss is not fiber; it’scarbohydrates like sugar, so figuringthe cost of the loss requires a producerto calculate the cost of replacing that1.5 percent with an energy source suchas cornmeal.”

Putnam suggests following the properpacking guidelines. He says layersspread 6 inches or less across the bunkis optimum. He also suggests using therule of 800 when packing.

Putnam says to multiply the numberof tons coming in each hour by 800.That represents the total pounds oftractor-weight for packing. “If you’rebringing in 100 tons per hour, thatmeans using 80,000 pounds of tractorfor packing per hour.”

After filling silos, producers shouldinvest in plastic to cover the forage.They can secure the cover with a weightsystem. Some producers use tires tosecure plastic covers. Other technolo-gies are available for weighting and cov-ering bunkers, such as gravel bags andoxygen barrier liners.

Producers can use plastic to linebunkers, reducing losses along side-walls. They also can wrap the plasticover, doubling protection on top. If pro-ducers choose no cover, the top 3 feet ofthe forage pile essentially is the cover.

“Leaving a bunker uncovered causessilage to lose up to 45 percent of itsnutritive value in the top 3 feet. This isespecially important with drive-overpiles,” Putnam said.

For those looking to estimate shrinklosses or improve dry matter recovery,Putnam suggests a straightforward cal-culation.

“An easy guide is with 1,000 tons ofsilage in a bunker and shrink reducedby 5 percent, you save 50 tons,” Portersaid. “Corn silage is worth roughly $45per ton, depending on area. A producercan save $2,250 on 1,000 tons.”

If a producer uses Putnam’s systemto replace energy source losses with

cornmeal, the system is slightly morecomplicated,” Putnam said. “Fifty tonsof corn silage at 34 percent dry matteris 17 dry matter tons. If cornmeal is 86percent dry matter, this means youneed 19.76 tons of cornmeal to replacethe lost dry matter. If cornmeal cost is$280 per ton, then saving 5 percent drymatter could save the producer$5,532.80.”

Monitoring bunker managementPutnam says producers need to keep

the silage face clean to protect silagequality. Removing forage from thebunker with facing equipment mini-mizes the amount of fractures or oxy-gen penetration compared to gougingwith a front-end loader.

“Data shows an average bunker siloloses 15 percent of its dry matter massduring storage and feedout,” Putnamsaid. “Not all of that can be managed.There is always going to be some lossfrom fermentation. However, with goodpacking, a quality inoculant, appropri-ate bunker covering and use of a defac-er, losses can be limited to 10 percentor less.”

Pioneer experts use an infrared cam-era to show the variation of heatingthroughout the face of a bunker.Increased heat levels result in energylosses. Inoculation Lactobacillus buch-neri is a form of management to reducelosses. Inoculants containing L. buch-neri help increase bunklife and protectsilage from heating and spoilage bymicroorganisms.

with the ability to see other calves.Rearing calves in isolation had someeffect on socialization (in the short-term) but did not affect health or sub-sequent milk production as it did inan older study where milk productionwas greater in cows reared in isola-tion as calves. The social skills ofindividually penned calves can beequal to that of group reared calves ifthey are able to have visual contactwith their peers.

If calves are grouped, how close istoo close? Stocking density forgrouped calves was an important riskfactor contributing to the risk of diar-rhea in a prospective study. If calveshad less than 3.28 ft2 they had a 74

percent greater risk of developingdiarrhea.

Based on the available evidence,individual housing for pre-weanedcalves, particularly those less than 30days of age, appears to be the sound-est recommendation for neonates, aslong as they have adequate hutch orpen size and can see and hear theirpeers. Calves can be grouped butattention to group size and spacerequirements is still critical as isattention to early signs of disease.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — On July 8,Bob Stallman, President AmericanFarm Bureau Federation, made thefollowing statement regarding comple-tion of FTA mock markups: “TheAmerican Farm Bureau Federation ispleased both the Senate and Housecommittees have approved the Korea,Colombia and Panama free tradeagreements through the mock markupprocess. The process toward finalizingthese important trade deals is headingin the right direction.

“The next step is for the administra-tion to send the implementing legisla-tion to Capitol Hill for a Congressional

vote. It is imperative that the processpromptly move forward to ensure theagreements will be completed byAugust recess. Inaction on these tradeagreements over the last four yearshas opened the door to our competi-tors in these markets. Further delaywill only exacerbate the losses for U.S.agriculture and the U.S. economy.

“Combined, the three FTAs representnearly $2.5 billion in new agricultureexports and could generate support forup to 22,500 U.S. jobs. These gainswill only be realized if the three agree-ments are passed by Congress andimplemented.”

The Agriculture Department againraised its 2011 and 2012 milk produc-tion forecasts in its latest World Agri-cultural Supply and Demand Esti-mates report. Cow number estimateswere also raised as higher milk pricesand lower forecast feed prices supportfurther herd expansion, but milk percow was unchanged from last month’sreport.

Commercial exports on a fat basiswere forecast higher for 2011. Endingstock forecasts were raised as cheesestocks are larger than expected. Dairyproduct price forecasts for 2011 wereraised from last month as were Class IIIand Class IV milk price forecasts, inline with the increased product prices.

Look for 2011 milk output to hit195.7 billion pounds, up 200 million

pounds from the June estimate. The2012 total is now projected at 198.8billion pounds, up 300 million from amonth ago. These projections compareto 192.8 billion pounds in 2010 and189.3 billion in 2009.

USDA expects the 2011 Class IIImilk price to average $18-$18.30 perhundredweight, up from the $17.40-$17.80 projected a month ago. The2012 range estimate was unchanged,at $16-$17. The 2010 average was$14.41 and $11.36 in 2009.

The 2011 Class IV price is projectedto average $19.15-$19.55, up from$18.95-$19.45 last month. The 2012range is projected at $16.50-$17.60,unchanged from a month ago, andcompares to $15.09 in 2010 and$10.89 in 2009.

U.S. feed grain supplies for 2011/12were projected higher this monthmostly with higher expected beginningstocks and production for corn. Cornbeginning stocks were raised 150 mil-lion bushels reflecting changes to2010/11 usage projections.

Corn production for 2011/12 wasprojected 270 million bushels higherbased on planted and harvested areaas reported in the Acreage report.Corn use for ethanol was raised 100million bushels with larger suppliesand an improved outlook for ethanolproducer margins. Exports wereraised 100 million bushels mostly re-flecting increased demand from Chi-na. Ending stocks for 2011/12 wereprojected 175 million bushels higherat 870 million. Soybean ending stocksof 175 million bushels were slightlyhigher than expected.

The 2011/12 season-average farmprice for corn is projected at a record$5.50-$6.50 per bushel, down 50

cents on both ends of the range. TotalU.S. corn use for 2010/11 was project-ed 145 million bushels lower mostlyreflecting the larger-than expectedJune 1 stocks estimate. Partly offset-ting is a 20-million-bushel reductionin use for sweeteners reflecting slowerdemand from Mexico. Corn exportswere lowered 25 million bushels basedon the slower-than-expected pace ofshipments in recent weeks.

Cash block cheese saw its third weekof decline but is still holding above $2and has been there since early June. Itclosed Friday July 15 with a surprise 51/2-cent rebound on the day, at$2.0575 per pound, still 5 1/4-centsbelow the previous week, but 48 1/4-cents above that week a year ago.

The barrels were steady all week un-til Friday when they were bid up threequarters to $2.11, 58 1/2-cents abovea year ago, and 5 1/4-cents above theblocks. Volume was heavy as a whop-ping 43 cars of block traded hands onthe week and none of barrel. TheNASS-surveyed U.S. average blockprice hit $2.1107, up 2.2 cents. Barrelaveraged $2.0991, up 2.6 cents.

Jerry Dryer, editor of the Dairy andFood Market Analyst, attributes thestrength in cheese to strong food serv-ice demand and exports. “The demandis there,” he said, “The cheese isn’t.”

FC Stone dairy economist Bill Brookssays the supply demand situation incheese has shifted a bit. Speaking inTuesday’s DairyLine, he suggested thatthe block supply has loosened some,pointing to the 17 loads of block thattraded in the 4th of July holiday-short-ened week.

CAMP HILL, PA — A Pennsylvaniaeducator has been awarded the 2011Christopher Columbus FellowshipFoundation Agriscience Award.

Paul Heasley, an agriculture scienceteacher with the State College AreaSchool District in State College, wasone of three educators to win theaward, given annually to those whodisplay exemplary innovation in thefield of agriculture science.

The award is given jointly by theChristopher Columbus FellowshipFoundation, a federal government sup-ported foundation, and the AmericanFarm bureau Federation.

“Pennsylvania Farm Bureau con-gratulates Paul Heasley for this distin-guished award,” said PFB PresidentCarl T. Shaffer. “This award is a valu-able reminder of the importance ofagriculture education, and the need togive students at every grade level anintroduction to agriculture.”

Heasley has taught agriculture sci-ence at the 9-12 grade level for 30years. The State College educator was

a finalist in the National FFA Organiza-tion’s “Agriculture Science Teacher ofthe Year” competition in 2009, and hasbeen honored with several national in-structional innovation awards by theNational Association of Agriculture Ed-ucators. As part of the CCFF Agricul-ture Science Educator Award, Heasleyreceived $10,000 to support his educa-tional efforts.

Better Utilization & Improved Efficiency = More TurnsLost River, West Virginia beef pro-ducer, Tim Wilkins, is a believerafter 3 years owning a NDE mixer.Tim says his NDE’s ability to utilizeand uniformly mix rougher, lowercost fiber sources as a benefit. Thisallows him to better utilize andstretch out his more costly feedingredients such as corn silage anddistiller grains. This in turn enables

him to feed out 1 more lead of cattle per year without sacrificing thedesired ADG on the cattle he’s feeding. Having demoed several com-petitive brands of mixers prior to his NDE purchase, Tim states thatfor his money, there was no comparison. Check out for yourself theNDE advantage!

The 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?

The Virginia Depart-ment of Agriculture andConsumer Services(VDACS) reminds smallbusinesses that Aug. 1 isthe filing deadline for fed-eral economic injury dis-aster loans available fromthe U.S. Small BusinessAdministration (SBA).

Aquaculture enterpris-es and nurseries locatedin Brunswick,Greensville, Halifax,Mecklenburg andSouthampton counties

and the Independent cityof Suffolk in Virginiamay apply for disasterloans due to a disasterdeclared by the SBA. Thedisaster was declared asa result of the droughtand excessive heat thatoccurred on May 1through October 1, 2010in North Carolina. Theselocalities are contiguousto the North Carolina ar-eas that received a disas-ter declaration and thus,are eligible to apply for

assistance.When the USDA is-

sues a disaster declara-tion to help farmers re-cover from damages andlosses to crops, the SBAissues a declaration toeligible entities affectedby the same disaster.Under this declaration,the SBA’s Economic In-jury Disaster Loan pro-gram is available to eligi-ble farm-related andnon-farm related enti-ties that suffered finan-cial losses as a direct re-sult of this disaster.

Except for aquacultureenterprises, agriculturalproducers, farmers and

ranchers are not eligibleto apply to SBA, butnurseries are eligible toapply for economic in-jury disaster loans forlosses caused bydrought conditions.

The loan amount canbe up to $2 million witha 4 percent interest ratefor eligible small busi-nesses and 3 percent fornon-profit organizationswith terms up to 30years. The SBA deter-mines eligibility basedon the size of the appli-cant, type of activity andits financial resources.

Loan amounts andterms are set by the SBA

and are based on eachapplicant’s financial con-dition. These workingcapital loans may beused to pay fixed debts,payroll, accountspayable and other billsthat could have beenpaid had the disaster notoccurred. The loans arenot intended to replacelost sales or profits.

Disaster loan informa-tion and applicationforms may be obtainedby calling the SBA’s Cus-tomer Service Center at800-659-2955, 800-877-8339 for the hearing-im-paired, Monday throughFriday from 8 a.m. to 6p.m. or by sending an e-

mail to [email protected].

Loan applications canbe downloaded from theSBA’s Web site atwww.sba.gov. Completedapplications should bemailed to: U.S. SmallBusiness Administra-tion, Processing and Dis-bursement Center,14925 Kingsport Road,Fort Worth, TX 76155.

by Ben LaCrossLike all of the young

American farmers I know,Leo has dreams, ambi-tions and goals. He wantsto provide a better life forhis family. He’s focusedon the goal of sending hisson to college. It’s a typi-cal American story. ButLeo’s story strays fromthe traditional plot. Leo isfrom Mexico.

Some would call Leo afarm worker. I call him afarmer. For a big chunkof each year, Leo is myright-hand man, workingbeside me to tend myMichigan cherry orchardand bring in the harvest.Leo is invaluable to mysuccess as an Americanfarmer. In fact, Leo is anintegral part of myfarm’s business family.

Without the seasonalfarm services providedby Leo and his counter-parts on farms all acrossour nation, the ability togrow, tend and harvestfood in America wouldgrind to a halt.

I cherish the fact thatmy farm helps providefor families beyond myown. One of the things Ilove about being a farmeris extending someoneelse a job. Agriculture iseconomic development.Our nation and our ruralcommunities arestrengthened by agricul-ture, and one major fac-tor in that strength is thejobs that our farms andranches create.

As I study the land-scape, however, I am trou-bled that the positive as-pects of providing the eco-nomic boost of a farm jobare being overwhelmed bythe divisive tone set bythose who refuse to un-derstand the demographicreality of today’s agricul-tural workforce.

While I was growing upand our farm was small-er, local high school kidsfilled many of the manu-al labor positions. Olderworkers from our com-munity would often hireon as sprayers, mechan-ics and harvesters. A fewseasonal migrant labor-ers would fill in as need-ed. There is no way toturn back that clock.

Today, most people inour local communityhave found less strenu-ous, less demanding jobs— and in some cases forsalaries less than whatwe offer. As our farm hasgrown and new workersare needed, we havemade decisions that

make the most sense forour farm.

This spring, I decidedto hire two full time posi-tions to supplement ourcurrent workforce. An adwas placed on the localunemployment Web site.Resumes were submit-ted. Interviews were con-ducted. The lack of workexperience and skills bymany was disturbing.Propositions to receivepayment “under thetable” so they could con-tinue to receive unem-ployment benefits wasappalling.

In the end, I neededemployees to help growmy perishable fruit. Igave several local candi-dates a chance. Six men,to be exact, were hired.Five don’t work for meanymore. Each man hada different reason toleave the job, and eachleft me scrambling to findqualified replacements.

Amidst this turnover,the rest of my crew re-turned, many for their12th year. These men,including Leo, are allfrom Mexico. As mem-bers of our nation’s mo-bile migrant workforce,they have become essen-tial to the success ofeach year’s crop on myfarm. And they leaveeach fall to run a cottongin in Georgia.

The bottom line is thatLeo comes to work whenI need him and he worksfor someone else when Idon’t. He and other mi-grant workers contributeto our communities, fill aneed and are productivemembers of society. Theyaren’t the cause of the fi-nancial dismay ourcountry is facing. In fact,I could argue that bymoving around the coun-try to stay employed, sea-sonal laborers are a mod-el of work ethic and en-trepreneurship.

Our nation does havean immigration problem,one that can only besolved by comprehensiveimmigration and bordersecurity reform. A patch-work approach of statelaws and governmentagency crackdowns isnot a solution.

But we must have anhonest dialogue aboutwho is going to performskilled, manual labor inour country in the fu-ture. If we want thoseworkers to be “local,” wemust champion skilled,manual labor as a voca-tion worthy of aspiration.

And, perhaps we willhave no other choice. Be-cause Leo’s son is notgoing to be pruning myorchards in the middle ofa cold Michigan winter.He is going to college.

by Ann Swinker, Ph.D.Extension Horse Specialist, Penn State University

Pasturing horses and other livestock is the mosteconomical and easiest way to feed. Owners haveseveral options for grazing horses. Some grazingstrategies are better at maintaining pastureground cover and reducing the risk of overgrazingthan others.

In the Eastern U.S., any grazing strategy and turn-ing horses out on pasture should not start until thegrass has reached a height of 6 inches, and shouldbe stopped when grass has been grazed down to twoto three inches. Here are some grazing strategies tochoose from, pick one that best matches you man-agement system for your operation:

• Continuous, 24 hours a day, seven days a week;• Limiting turnout time;• Rotational grazing;• Partial-season grazing;• Combination of each.Continuous grazingWhen horses have access to pasture 24 hours a

day, seven days a week, for the whole grazing season(or even 365 days a year), they are being managedunder a continuous grazing system. Unfortunately,this grazing strategy often results in overgrazing,

particularly on our eastern smaller farms.The bad thing about this system, it allows horses

to be very selective. Horses repeatedly graze the best-tasting plants. This stresses plants beyond theirability to survive. Pasture is never allowed to recoverfrom grazing. In time pastures are soon turned intodry lots where only weeds will grow.

Limiting turnout This strategy allowing the horse daily access to

pasture for shorter periods (1 hour to 12 hours perday) is referred to as Limiting Turnout. This grazingstrategy is ideal for horse boarding stables or smallproperties. This system gives every horse some graz-ing time and is ideal for horse with laminitis or oth-er disorders related to grazing.

Turning horses out on a pasture provides exercise,but adds significant savings in feed costs over time,even if horses are turned out for a few hours per day.This system works well for people who work 9 a.m.to 5 p.m.

Rotational grazing With this grazing strategy, horses are allowed to

graze one pasture cell at a time. When forage hasbeen grazed down, horses can be rotated into thenext cell. The previously grazed cell is then allowedto recover generally it takes about 20-30 days. Or

sufficient re-growth 6 to 8 inches, and them horsescan be returned to that first pasture to graze.

The size and number of small pasture cells canvary based on available acreage, the number of hors-es, the productivity of the pasture, and how long thehorses graze each cell. Ideally, each pasture cellshould contain enough grass to sustain the horsesfor three to seven days. Grazing for longer than sev-en days may increase damage due to hoof impaction,mainly near high traffic areas. Horse owners usingrotational grazing need to make sure they haveenough land to lay out the grazing cells.

You also need electric fence and a lot of it — to di-vide the pasture land into cells. After the horses areplaced in this system, remember to check the grassevery day and, if needed, move the horses to the nextpasture before overgrazing and trampling of thegrass. You have to monitor the grazing progress andremove horses to another cell or take them off thepasture and into a holding lot or paddock if you runout of grass and feed hay.

Pasture divided into one to two acre pasture cellscan make effective rotational systems. Remember,horses need more space than cattle or other live-stock for social interactions. Rotational grazing isnot the best idea for yearling or young foal. Theytend to run into the fence and for this system towork most people use temporary electric fence thatmust be kept HOT.

Calculating stocking RatesMost riding horses weighing 1,000 pounds con-

sume 600 pounds of dry matter forage each month.A pasture planted with orchard grass and someclover will produce three to eight tons per acre peryear of forage, depending on rain fall, soil type andspecies of plants fertilization and management. All ofthese factors can increase pastures productionyields. Most horses require somewhere between oneto two acres of pasture land a year to supply all theforage it needs to keep the horse and the pastureplants healthy.

Pastures that receive adequate rainfall will growmore forage than dry land pasture. Therefore, lessacreage is needed to meet the grazing needs of thehorse. However, only a portion of the total yield pro-duced will be eaten by the horse. Grass that is tram-pled and defecated on will not be consumed. Also, acertain amount of grass residue must be left to main-tain good quality re-growth. This portion varies butaverages about 30% of the pastures. Remember, withyear round turnout — you must supplement withhay during periods of snow cover or when feed is notavailable. Continuous grazing of pastures of limitedacreage may require a recovery period of no grazingto maintain forage health and vigor.

Feed companiesshould be a little morestraightforward withtheir customers. It’s timeto stop the confusionand just be straight withthe people who keepthem all in business.

First, using termssuch as superior, ex-treme, and ultimate donot make a product bet-ter than another. Look atthe tag guarantees. Arethey extensive or limitedto just a few nutrients?Look at the ingredients,are they collective termslike “Processed Grain Bi-Products” and “PlantProtein Products” or arethey specific ingredi-ents? How can somecompanies justify usingcollective terms on mostof their products andthen specific terms onproducts they want youto pay an extra $2 to $4more per bag. Does theformula stay consistentor are they reducing in-gredient costs by chang-ing them weekly?

Second, I feel a feedcompany has the obliga-tion to tell the customerall they need to knowabout the feed they areusing on their horses. Ifa company determinesthat a particular productis safe or low carb, thenthey should be preparedto tell you the actual labtested NSC (starch andsugar) levels of thosefeeds and the ingredients

used, not a calculatedvalue. If the customerwants a complete nutri-ent profile, then itshould be made avail-able. What does it sayabout a company if thesales people responsiblefor selling the productsto the consumer don’teven have access to thisinformation?

Third, comments onadvertising andbrochures like “controlledenergy release” botherme. What does thatmean? While it makessome sense and there issome research to supportthe theory that lower sol-uble carbs will have someeffect, a diet will notmake a crazy horse calmor a lazy horse spirited. Agreat analogy I heard theother day is if you take alazy person sitting ontheir easy chair (the lazyhorse) and offer them aKrispy Kreme donut(higher carbs), that per-son is not going to thenjog around the block.Likewise, if you take a hy-per personality and feedthem nothing but fiber, Idon’t think they will thenturn into couch potatoes.It is misleading to eludecustomers to think thatfeed will make horsesmore manageable to anygreat extent. It is a com-bined function of feedinga balanced diet, manage-ment and training.

Fourth, the sales peo-

ple that represent thefeed companies shouldbe well-rounded andknowledgeable horsepeople. They should beable to answer any feed-ing question or situationyou or your veterinarianmay have and give youreasons as to why theymake a particular feed-ing recommendation. Ifthey cannot, they shouldhave access to get thatanswer in a very shortperiod of time. This in-volves continual trainingand certification asequine experts, such asthe American Registry ofProfessional Animal Sci-entists (ARPAS).

Fifth, research isn’tany good unless it isused or used properly.While there isn’t nearly

as much research onhorses as we have oncow, pigs and chickens,there is enough out thereto use in formulations toimprove the health ofyour horse. Yeast cul-tures are a good exampleof where there is over-whelming independentresearch on the benefitsof improved fiber diges-tion and utilization fromyeast, yet some compa-nies dispute the infor-mation presumably toreduce ingredient costs.

Feed companies, havedone a lot over the yearsto cause confusion onhow to feed horses fromprotein levels to tagwars (who has the high-est level) on other nutri-ents. They have beenhelped along the way by

articles and Web site in-formation written bypeople more interestedin expressing their opin-ion than on actual re-search. Feeding mosthorses is not that hardand the choices youhave today are twicethat of 10 years ago, pri-marily because feedcompanies have main-tained the old feedingchoices in combination

with new products.It may be hard to dis-

tinguish which feed com-pany to use when com-paring similar products.The information dis-cussed in this articleshould help you make aneducated decision on thebest feed company alongwith the proper productfor your horse.

UNIVERSITY PARK, PA — Theequine herpes virus may have gar-nered national attention when itcaused the recent cancellation of horseshows across the western UnitedStates, but a veterinarian with PennState’s College of Agricultural Sciencessays it’s nothing new.

Dr. Jake Werner, attending veteri-narian for agricultural animals andwildlife, said he isn’t alarmed by therecent outbreak. The EHV-1 strainstemmed from horses attending the

National Cutting Horse Associationchampionships in Ogden, Utah, in ear-ly May.

“Horse owners, like owners of otherlivestock animals, always should becautious and diligent in taking stepstoward disease prevention,” he said.“Diseases can flare up when we leastexpect them, but proper biosecuritymeasures can help decrease the occur-rence and severity of illnesses.”

The equine herpes virus takes onseveral forms that selectively target

horses’ reproductive, respiratory orneurological systems. The currentoutbreak, which resulted in thedeath of 12 horses and affected 77others, has been identified as theneurological form.

Most horses have acquired a latentform of the disease by two years of age,said Werner. The virus is activated af-ter a stressful period, such as strenu-ous exercise or transport to equineevents. All forms are spread by respi-ratory secretions.

“People can be the vector for diseaseintroduction, not just horses,” Wernerexplained. “But following good animal-husbandry practices can keep yourhorse safer.

“Owners can continue taking theirhorses to shows, trail rides and otherevents — just minimize the horses’contact with each other.”

Werner has the following advice forhorse owners:

• Don’t share trailers, tack and otherequipment, such as brushes, bucketsand feed pans, without washing them

after each use.• Wash hands and boots and change

clothes while traveling from farm to farm.• Do not allow nose-to-nose contact

for horses returning from other farms,shows or other equestrian events.

• House horses at least one stallaway from each other. “The farther thebetter,” Werner said. “And just like youshouldn’t go to work when you’re sick,don’t move a sick horse.”

The outbreak in the West has beendiminishing because of such travel re-strictions and biosecurity measures,according to Werner. “When animalsmove, disease can move, too,” he said.

While a vaccine is available for theequine herpes virus, Werner warnsthat it is labeled only for the respirato-ry and reproductive forms. Ownersshould discuss the possibility of vacci-nation with a veterinarian.

“Be aware of and vigilant againstpathogens,” he said. “Proper biosecuri-ty precautions are cheap insurance to-ward the health of your horse.”

by Judy Van PutOwning a horse can be

a wonderfully satisfyingexperience; although anexpensive and time-con-suming one. Whetheryou own one horse ormany, there is a wholehost of equipment thatcan make the job ofkeeping horses mucheasier and in many cas-es, a bit less costly.

A good place to start isto set your goals of keep-ing your horses safe, in aplace that affords shelterand protection from driv-ing rain and snow, blazingsummer sun and bitingflies; healthy and in com-fortable turnouts with ad-equate exercise and aminimum of mud; and ad-equately fed, with goodgrass and hay and plenty

of fresh clean water.Keeping your horses

safe involves good barri-er protection — in otherwords, good fencing.There are so many typesof fencing to choosefrom, that will addressmost every pocketbook— from (barbless!) wireto wood, poly to plastic,rails to tape, electrifiedor non, even rubber —and many things inbe-tween. Fencing shouldbe sturdy and solid andeasy for your horses tosee — perhaps by usingflagging in some in-stances. Your horsesshould be safe and se-cure, with gates thatopen and close properly.Whatever type of fencingyou choose, be sure tohave on hand the specif-

ic equipment needed forfence and post installa-tion and repair as this isa necessary task for allhorse keepers on a regu-lar basis.

Whether you choose toprotect your horses in abarn with box stalls or asimple run-in shed, it’simportant to plan aheadand make sure that thestructure is of adequatesize for the number ofhorses you keep, and

will protect them frominclement weather. It’sbetter to plan on a struc-ture that is slightly larg-er than you think youmay require, as there arealways additional‘things’ that need storing— such as feed, hay,tack or equipment.

Adequate ventilation isimportant to keep the airfresh and provide a coolrespite during the sum-mer. In areas that suffer

from intense heat in thesummer months, youmight consider installingfans in your barn. Thereare a number of stylesand sizes of fans on themarket that are safe forlivestock use, from largebarn fans kept at theends of your aisles, tosmaller units that youcan mount on a stall wallthat will keep a horsecool, comfortable andfree of biting flies while

confined to his stall. For safety’s sake, keep

a flashlight near each en-tryway, with a list of vet-erinarian and otheremergency contact infor-mation in case of fire,floods, windstorm/thun-derstorm damage or oth-er emergency situations.

In any type of barn, besure to practice goodbarn hygiene to protect

insect and rodent protection, keepingmanure and soiled bedding picked upand disposed of properly. You’ll need apitchforks, a rake with a bow head,shovel, spade and leaf rake for generalcleanup in and around the stalls orsheds. Rubber mats are a nice additionto a stall — they provide an easy-to-clean alternative to the old clay-basedstall, and provide more cushion andtraction than a wooden-floored stallcan. In addition, they are practically in-destructible.

Be sure that your gates and barndoors are sturdy and horse-proof.Many horses utilize their ‘off time’ tofigure out how to escape; they can be-come gate- and latch-savvy, and canturn into accomplices in helping theirstable-mates escape from the barn

and/or paddock.One of the most important things

you can do to keep your horses healthyis to eliminate mud in their turnout ar-eas. Especially around wateringtroughs or turn-out areas — do what-ever it takes to reduce mud puddlesand mucky conditions. Horses do beston flat grassy areas that minimize ex-posure to mud and biting insects.

Your horses should have a good sup-ply of fresh clean water at all times. Aheavy-duty plastic half-barrel or wa-tering trough is an inexpensive solu-tion. These can be emptied and easilycleaned on a regular basis — we keepa long-handled scrub brush just underthe trough to make the job easier.

A tractor will be one of the most im-portant expenditures for a horse oper-ation to consider. Whether or not youare able to cut and bale your own hay,a tractor will be put to good use inmany ways. It is important to mowyour fields and pastures to keep theweeds under control and enable grass-es to grow; regular mowing will helpturn a weedy field into a pasture thatcan be used for grazing horses. Goodgrass is best for horses, providing nat-ural forage and turn-out time, and willhelp to keep your feed bills down to aminimum.

Hay storage is an important consid-eration for horse keepers. While someoperations will have a separate barn,stall or shed for storing hay, in manyinstances hay will be stored upstairs,above the horse stalls. In this situation,

a hay elevator is a very useful piece ofequipment to have and makes the jobof filling an upper-level much easier.

Horse feed and supplements will needgood dry storage and protection frominvasion by animals such as raccoons,opossums, rodents and insects. Bins,barrels or metal-lined containers withtight-fitting lids are necessary to keepfeed safe and fresh and healthy for yourhorses. Each horse will need his ownfeed tub or bucket — these should becleaned regularly to prevent contamina-tion from bacteria, insects, etc.

Taking into consideration yourhorses’ needs of safety, shelter, goodhygiene, adequate food and plenty offresh clean water will keep your hors-es happy and healthy and make theexperience of keeping horses a verypleasant one.

by Mark S. Moses, Robeson County Ad-visory Council Member

Several members of the RobesonCounty Advisory Council, along withCounty Extension Director Cathy Gra-ham, traveled to Raleigh and touredareas on the North Carolina State Uni-versity campus on Friday, June 17.

Ask any of them a question aboutthe trip, and they will surely tell youthat they brought back a wealth ofknowledge to share with farmers, busi-nesses, adults, and school children ofall ages. Making the tour were sevencouncil members, Rogena Deese,Rhonda Faircloth, Mack Johnson,Mark S. Moses, Joyce Peay, Ann Un-derwood, and Robert Wilkes.

First stop on the arranged tour wasthe North Carolina Solar House. Whatintrigued advisory members so muchabout the Solar House is that it is com-pletely run by light energy from solarpanels. The house uses light energy tomake electricity that helps run thelight fixtures and even the water heaterin the basement area of the home.

Carole Coble, manager and informa-tion specialist, gave the guided tour ofthe house. She answered many ques-tions and gave scientific answers on howsolar energy is used economically todayand how area students learn about thissource of energy from the sun.

The profitability ofcheese plants seems tohave recovered as wewent through May andinto June, according toBrooks, but he warnedof the high temperaturesand humidity in theMidwest and how Min-nesota and Wisconsinmilk production laggedyear ago levels in May. Afair amount of barrelcheese is produced thereand lagging milk pro-duction may be tighten-ing the barrel market.Demand for barrels isprobably good, he said,because more people arestaying home and eatingout less and firing upthe barbecue.

Brooks also discussedwhy the block price istypically 2 or 3 centsabove the barrels. Pro-duction and packagingcosts are a little higherfor block cheese, he ex-plained, whereas barrelcheese these days ispackaged in a fiberboard barrel and is easyto extract for use in fur-ther manufacturing “sothere’s not as muchpackaging, not as muchcost there.” Wheneverthe price spread is in-verted (barrels over theblocks) the higher costs“squeeze plant margins”he said, especially whenyou’re paying higherprices for the milk.

He expected morecheese to make its wayto the CME looking for ahome and warned thatpeople will step awayfrom the market once theprice starts slipping andthat will pull the barrellower as well.

Cash butter held allweek at $2.03, 25 1/2-

cents above a year ago.Only one car was traded.NASS butter averaged$2.0348, down 5.4 cents.

Cash Grade A nonfatdry milk finished at$1.61, down a penny anda half, and Extra Gradeheld at $1.61. NASS pow-der averaged $1.6667, up0.3 cent, and dry wheyaveraged 54.16 cents,down 0.6 cent.

Looking “back to thefutures;” the Federal or-der Class III contract’saverage for the last halfof 2011 was $18.72 perhundredweight on June3, $18.34 on June 10and June 17, $18.21 onJune 24, $18.19 on July1, and $18.54 on July 8.

California’s AugustClass I milk price wasannounced by the Cali-fornia Department ofFood and Agriculture at$23.24 per hundred-weight for the north and$23.51 for the south.Both are up 86 centsfrom July, are$5.91above August2010, and equate toabout $2.00 and $2.02per gallon respectively.

The 2011 northernprice average now standsat $20.27, up from$16.38 a year ago. Thesouthern price average is$20.54, up from $16.65a year ago. The Federalorder Class I base priceis announced by theUSDA on July 22.

National Milk’s RogerCryan says the Federal or-der Class I milk price“came within a whisker oftriggering payments inFebruary, then began ris-ing. Now corn and soy-bean prices have dropped,widening the gap betweenprojected Class I prices

and MILC target rates forthe last few months of theFiscal Year. No paymentsare projected throughSeptember.”

Commercial disap-pearance of dairy prod-ucts during the first fourmonths of 2011 totaled64 billion pounds, ac-cording to USDA’s latestdata, up 2.9 percentfrom the same period in2010. Butter was up 15percent; Americancheese, up 4 percent;other cheese, up 7.1 per-cent; nonfat dry milk,down 5.7 percent; andfluid milk products wereoff 1.5 percent.

USDA reports that

milk production is at ornear peak levels in thePacific Northwest, steadyin Utah, Idaho, and theNortheast; decliningalong the seasonal trendin the Central and Mid-Atlantic regions withsteeper production de-clines in the Southeast,Florida, Arizona and por-tions of California due toheat and or humidity.

FC Stone dairy brokerDave Kurzawski says“Hot weather has beenon everyone’s mind,mostly in terms of how itwill affect grain prices,but now those concernsare spilling into the milkmarket.” There’s plenty

of uncertainty. The heatwill take its toll on milkoutput and yields howev-er economic concernscould hurt dairy demandhere in the U.S. and de-veloping countries. And,increased milk produc-tion in Australia andNew Zealand could slowU.S. dairy exports.

Milk production inOceania is at seasonallow levels and the winterseason is underway.Australian winter weath-er conditions are devel-oping along typical lines,according to USDA. Milkhandlers are stating thatwinter conditions arewetter than usual in

some regions, whilemoisture is in better bal-ance in others.

Australian milk pro-ducers are very opti-mistic about the upcom-ing season, according toUSDA. Much of this opti-mism comes from anoverall positive the win-ter and provide a positivestart to the new season.

Both countries are inthe early days of the2011-2012 milk produc-tion year, thus it is tooearly to indicate newtrends. Production esti-mates for the new seasonover last season arestarting to develop; 4-5

percent higher in NewZealand and 1- 2 percentin Australia. Sales activi-ty out of the Oceania re-gion is minimal as stocksare limited and nearingseasonal low levels.

California’s Milk Pro-ducers Council’s July 8newsletter reports thatthe number of approved

bidders for Fonterra’sglobal dairy product auc-tion continues to grow asthe number of productsoffered by Fonterra in-creases and the prospectof additional supplierslingers.

It warns that “Moresellers from differentcountries add variables

such as product qualitydifferences, effects of cur-rency valuations andchanges (including spec-ulation about possiblechanges), differences intransportation costs fromsellers to buyers, and tar-iffs, tariff rate quotas,and the existence or ab-sence of Free Trade

Agreements, all of whichlikely affect what biddersare willing to pay.”

It quoted USDA’s DairyMarket News; “Tradersand handlers continue touse the gDT auctionplatform as a componentwhen determining com-mercial prices but mostare not adjusting theirprices as sharply as thepercentage changes fromthe previous auctionevent.” MPC adds that,“What began as a noblebut self-serving tool in-tended to provide an im-portant improvement ininternational pricetransparency, may beapproaching an entirelydifferent stage. “Shouldwe say buyer beware?”

The CooperativesWorking Together pro-gram announced that itaccepted eight requestsfor export assistancefrom Dairy Farmers ofAmerica to sell a total of648,371 pounds ofCheddar cheese to cus-tomers in the MiddleEast, North Africa, Asia,and Central America.The product will be deliv-ered through Novemberand raises CWT’s 2011cheese exports to 49.2million pounds.

Speaking of exports;Dairy Profit Weekly editorDave Natzke reported in

Friday’s DairyLine thatthe value of May dairyexports was estimated at$401 million, virtuallyunchanged from April,but 40 percent morethan May 2010.

May imports, at $212million, were down 12percent from April, andup just 3 percent from ayear ago. Thus far in fis-cal year 2011, exportsare valued at $2.9 bil-lion, with a dairy tradesurplus estimated atmore than $1 billion.

The U.S. exported 289million pounds of dairyproducts in May, aboutthe same as April. Exportswere equivalent to 13 per-cent of U.S. milk solidsproduction during theJanuary-May period,while imports represent2.7 percent, matching thelowest percentage since1996, according to Natzke.

One other dairy exportnote, U.S. dairy cattle re-main popular on theworld market. Exportstopped 5,000 head againin May, bringing theyearly total to about28,500, nearly doublethe total for the sametime last year. Turkey re-mains the leading mar-ket for U.S. dairy cattle,followed by Mexico.

In politics; draft legis-lation incorporating key

elements of NationalMilk’s Foundation for theFuture dairy policy pro-posal was announcedJuly13. The text wasmade available by theHouse Agriculture Com-mittee’s ranking mem-ber, Collin Peterson (D-MN.) at http://democ-rats.agriculture.house.gov/ . The action provideslawmakers, farmers, andothers to view the lan-guage prior to an officialintroduction as a bill.

The action drew criti-cism from dairy proces-sors. IDFA CEO ConnieTipton said “We are dis-appointed that Rep.Collin Peterson is circu-lating draft legislationthat clearly would takethe dairy industry in thewrong direction. Insteadof encouraging jobgrowth and reducingregulation on an alreadyoverregulated industry,the discussion draftwould impose new andintrusive governmentmandates on dairy mar-kets at the cost of agrowing dairy exportbusiness and the jobsthat have come with it.”More details are postedat www.idfa.org/news—views/news-releases/de-tails/6175/ .

Meanwhile; CEO JerryKozak and staff are on a12-stop tour across theU.S. meeting with pro-ducers to answer ques-tions about their plan.Locations and times andNMPF’s response toIDFA’s criticism can befound at www.nmpf.org .

“I found everythingabout our trip to the so-lar house very unique,and I’m hoping one daywe can return and learnsome more pointersabout it,” said Wilkes, asmall business ownerfrom Orrum. “I wouldlike to see the peoplewho are on our localschool board come upand look at the solarhouse and get someideas of what the schoolchildren here in Raleighare doing with solar en-ergy and help spur thecuriosity of the kids inour county.”

Next on the stop was abuffet lunch at the Uni-versity Club where theywere greeted by ClintonMcRae, South CentralDistrict Extension direc-tor; Sheri Schwab, asso-ciate director of Coopera-tive Extension; andSharon Runion Row-land, executive directorof development for Coop-erative Extension.

During lunch, Row-land gave a brief talkabout the North Caroli-na Cooperative Exten-sion Service Foundationand how funds are bene-fiting over 700 causes inall 100 of North Caroli-na’s counties.

Before leaving theclub, the group was in-vited back during the hotafternoon to cool downwith some N.C. Statehomemade ice cream,made with milk fromcows milked at the uni-versity’s College of Vet-erinary Medicine, thenext stop on the tour.

Established in 1978,the North Carolina StateUniversity College of Vet-erinary Medicine had 700applications, this year,for only 80 spots. Stu-dents learn by perform-ing surgeries, generalcare of animals and clini-cals on the school’s work-ing farm. They have theopportunity for hands-onlearning by actually milk-ing cows. The college alsohas research and teach-ing facilities, fields forlarger livestock, and anon-site teaching hospital.

“It’s good to know wehave students there in-terested in animal healthcare and that they haveso many applying,” saidPeay, 4-H program rep-resentative. “I plan to goback to Robeson Countyand share this experi-ence with my 4-H’ers.”

After a quick stop forice cream, the tour head-ed for the J.C. RaulstonArboretum, which hous-es over 5,000 differentkinds of plants from allover the world.

“This place is ab-solutely gorgeous,” saidFaircloth, a Pembroke

Area Chamber of Com-merce board member. “Idon’t have a greenthumb, as they say, butwhoever takes care ofthis place has two orthree green thumbs.The flowers and trees,combined with the wa-terfalls, just makes itbreathtaking.”

The tour group thendrove to the main cam-pus of N.C. State, driv-ing past several of theuniversity’s landmarksthat included the 115-foot Memorial Bell Tow-er that stands at themain entrance to theuniversity on Hillsbor-ough Street andReynolds Coliseum, theformer home of the Wolf-

pack men’s basketballteam. Passing throughthe Centennial Campusand Raleigh’s FarmersMarket, the group head-ed home to RobesonCounty to tell of theirlearning experiences.

“I think this tour forour county’s advisorycouncil has been an ex-cellent opportunity togive our council mem-bers more information tounderstand the re-sources at N.C. Statethat can help us with theissues facing RobesonCounty,” said Graham. “Ihope the advisory councilgained in-depth knowl-edge of the resources lo-cated at NCSU.”
