A sobering headline:Police say a car trying topass a slow-moving trac-tor on a rural road inYates County, New York,collided with a van full ofAmish farmers fromSteuben County, killingfive people and injuringnine others.

“This is a scene we seeall too often,” said DaveHill, senior extensionassociate and agricultur-al emergency manage-ment program directorat Penn State. “There aredevelopments wherefarms used to be, andthose developments areresidences for non-farmpeople who are drivingon the roads. We findourselves sharing theroads with people whodon’t understand farmequipment. A lot of thesepeople have lesspatience — they’re in ahurry and just want togo down the road. Theydon’t want to be both-ered by a tractor that’spulling an implementfrom field to field.”

Hill manages a pro-gram aimed at trainingfirst responders whohelp at farm-relatedaccidents. “We teach firefighters how to respondto agricultural acci-dents,” he said. “Tractorturn-overs, machineryentanglements, siloentrapments.” Hill alsooversees a farm-familyprogram that teachesfarm families what to dowhile waiting for emer-gency personnel toarrive.

“The peak time forfarm vehicle accidents islate afternoon — from 4p.m. to 8 p.m.,” said Hill,“and June and Octoberare the peak months for

accidents. The majorityof accidents occur whenthe tractor driver turnsleft. That person behindyou has been putting upwith your speed for longenough, so he tries topass. He can’t see you,and he tries to pass justas you’re turning left.”

Hill says that beforemaking a left turn, trac-tor drivers should pullinto the right lane sothat they can see every-one behind them prior toturning. He added thatthe second most com-mon accident is rear-endcollisions, many ofwhich are the result ofsomeone is talking on acell phone, texting ordistracted in some otherway. “They’re driving at55 mph, become dis-tracted, and all of thesudden there’s a tractorand implement in frontof them going 15 mph.”

That type of accident,a rear-ender, is what ateam of first respondersdemonstrated to a hugecrowd at Penn State dur-ing Ag Progress Days.Hill explained theprocess for accidentresponse, noting thatpolice are usually first toarrive on the scene.“Next, the fire chief andthe rest of the companyarrive to stabilize thescene,” he said. “Thetractor and car are stabi-lized so that they don’troll. The EMS will focuson stabilizing victimsand preparing them fortransport to the hospi-tal.” The team workedcarefully and seamless-ly; first stabilizing thewoman (a volunteer) whohad fallen from the trac-tor and then working toextricate the driver (adummy) from the car.

“We have a ‘golden hour’rule,” said Hill. “The vic-tim has a much betterchance of surviving theirinjuries if we can getthem to a surgeon at atrauma center within anhour.”

Hill noted the accidentin New York broughtnumerous rescue work-ers to the scene, includ-ing several helicopters.“The farm vehicle was afield sprayer loaded withchemicals,” he said. “Itwasn’t leaking, but itwould’ve been a moreserious incident if thetank had beenbreached.”

Throughout thedemonstration, Hill dis-cussed some of the mostimportant safety meas-ures for those who drivefarm equipment on pub-

lic roads. “As farmequipment gets bigger, italso gets faster,” he said.“If you’re driving farmequipment on the high-way, make sure you’redriving at the appropri-ate speed for the equip-ment. Some of the newtractors are designed tobe operated in excess of25 mph — that’s fine ifyou’re pulling imple-ments that are alsodesigned to go 25 mph.High-speed tractors withlow speed implementsare not a good combina-tion.” Hill also noted thatall equipment operatorsshould be properly

trained, and that equip-ment should be well-maintained and road-worthy with hitch pins,steering, tires, bearingsand brakes in good con-dition.

The slow moving vehi-cle (SMV) sign should bein good condition andproperly mounted. “It’sdesigned to be mountedon the back of equip-ment for equipment trav-eling at 25 mph or slow-er,” said Hill. “The insidetriangle is visible duringdaylight hours and theoutside triangle is visibleat night. Consider anescort vehicle on busy

rural roads so that peo-ple behind know what’sgoing on. Use properlighting and take everyopportunity to let non-farm neighbors under-stand the issues of mov-ing farm equipment onthe highway.”

Hill says accidentsinvolving automobilesand farm vehicles arebecoming more frequent.“Tractors are getting big-ger and there are morenon-farm people in ruralcommunities,” he said.“It’s our obligation toinform people at everyopportunity about farmequipment on the road.”

First responders give tractor safety demonstrationCar versus tractor ~ never an equal match

In some cases, parts of the vehicle must be removed to gain access to additional victims.

The stabilized victim is placed on a board and moved away from the accident scene

so rescue workers can work on the automobile and tractor as well as the victim in the

vehicle.

After the victim is removed from the scene, fire personnel carefully stabilize the auto-

mobile and tractor with a series of supporting blocks and jacks.

“We are absolutely ec-static with the crowd thisyear!” exclaimed JuliWebster, organizer of theMohawk Valley’s 10thannual Garlic & HerbFestival. The eventturned into a regular ju-bilee with a record crowd,57 vendors, garlic cui-sine, three bands, andperfect, sunny weatherfor the event.

“It’s really wonderful!”said first year vendor,Krysta Kearney, whoseLoveland Farms boothwas stocked not onlywith garlic, but also withfresh cut flowers, freshorganic produce, freshlymixed granola, andmore. “We’re used to go-ing to the normal smallerfarmer’s markets, andI’m actually surprised athow many people arehere. It’s been reallywonderful!” Kearneyplans on returning againnext year to take part inthe annual festival.

All along Canal Street,and in Sterziner Park, Lit-tle Falls, NY, vendors dis-played a variety of herbs,aromatic foods, colorfulseasonal flowers and pro-duce, handcrafted arti-san items, and more than50 varieties of garlic, andgarlic for seeding.

Diane Reilly, of Emer-ald Valley Acres, Ful-tonville, NY, was one ven-dor who had many returncustomers from previousyears looking for garlic toseed their own crops.

“It was our best yearever!” Reilly said enthu-siastically. “The Mohawk

Valley has the perfectsoil and climate for grow-ing garlic and it’s won-derful to have this op-portunity to be able tosell it, and to educate thepeople attending the fes-tival about garlic. Hope-fully, by the time theyleft, they have learnedthat all garlic is notalike.” Reilly laughed.This was Reilly’s fourthyear at the event as avendor. She said she hasdeveloped many regularcustomers from attend-ing this agriculturalevent, with several re-peat customers callingher as early as April toplace their orders.

The festival, which wasfounded in 2001, has be-come a staple in theHerkimer County com-munity, drawing inthousands of peoplefrom all over the Mo-hawk Valley and beyond.The festival provides anopportunity for localfarmers and vendors toeducate folks on the ben-efits of growing garlicand herbs, and givespeople an opportunity tomake new connections.

Herbalists Brenda andMichael Henry, vendorsfrom Brenda’s NaturalFoods in Rome, NY, havebeen exhibiting at theFestival for all 10 yearsand have seen the growthin the marketplace.Folks buying herbs sur-rounded their booth andwere also purchasing thefresh baked cookies atthe exhibit.

Cornell CooperativeExtension of Herkimer

County’s Jill Turner wason hand to provideinformation, recipes, andnewly printed HerkimerCounty Local Foods Map.The maps lists andshows location of 47farms in Herkimer Coun-ty that produce and sellproduce. It also providesinformation on HerkimerCounty’s farmers’ mar-kets. Turner stated themap was made possiblethrough the “CreatingHealthy Places in NewYork” grant that wasawarded to the HerkimerCounty Health Net. “Weat Cornell CooperativeExtension of HerkimerCounty are workingalong with the Health Neton the grant,” Turnersaid, “promoting eatinglocal, eating well, andeating together. We areworking on encouragingeveryone to eat fresh, lo-cally grown foods alongwith providing healthierfood options in local con-venient and small gro-cery stores.”

Turner was also hand-ing out recipes and infor-mation on buying, using,storing, and harvestinggarlic, which was provid-ed by CCE.

by Ellen WrenGreen and orange pumpkins of every

size floated down the Rondout Creekand the Wallkill River for days afterTropical Storm Irene hit Ulster County.Children fished them out of the murkywater and entertained themselves bycarving and decorating them. Duringthe several days of power outages, thepumpkins felt like a gift, a little excite-ment for the kids during the stressfulpost-storm period. In the small town ofRosendale, nearly every home had atleast one battered pumpkin gracingtheir doorstep.

The fact that it was barely Septemberand too soon for pumpkins was not loston the kids, nor was the unconvention-al delivery method of those odd pump-kins. Growing up visiting farm standsfor fresh corn and cider doughnuts, theconnection was swift. The pumpkinswere the talk of the town. Childrencould be heard wondering, “But whichfarm did it come from? How do we payfor this?”

Farmers with flooded fields and dev-astated crops were wondering the verysame thing, “How do we pay for this?”Ulster County growers have had to re-cover before. However, it’s been nearly60 years since they’ve had to recoverfrom loss and damage as severe as whatTropical Storms Irene and Lee broughtin late summer.

As the long haul of recovery marcheson, many farmers have taken recoveryefforts into their own hands to helpthemselves and their fellow farmers.The Rondout Valley Grower’s Associa-tion (RVGA), made up of over 50 grow-ers is doing just that. Their annual Foodand Wine in the Orchard event was heldOct. 8 at Stone Ridge Orchard in StoneRidge, NY. Besides the usual live music,

local food, RVGA officially kicked off aspecial fundraiser, The Paper PumpkinProject.

After being contacted by someonewanting to pay for pumpkins “deliv-ered” to them by Hurricane Irene, Pres-ident and member, Bruce Davenportgot creative. He came up with the idea ofselling paper pumpkins to raise fundsfor RVGA members whose farms weredevastated. The pumpkins are meant tobe displayed as a show of support for lo-cal farms. They will be sold at $1 “perpound”, allowing people to contribute atwhatever level they can afford. Two ver-sions of the paper pumpkins, one leftblank for decoration, will be available atfarm stands and other businessesthroughout the area.

In many cases, individual farmers aretrying their hands at fundraising. RayBradley, of Bradley Farm in New Paltzlost almost everything. In order to beginrecovery, he has taken some creativemeasures. The farm has a sophisticatedWeb site which links to an online storewhere supporters can buy “Fresh andDirty, Bradley Farms” t-shirts. For a$100 PayPal donation, a farm support-er can have a row of vegetables namedafter them. Loyal patrons of his boothsat greenmarkets in New York City madetheir way upstate recently for Bradley’sfall party, altered this year to be afundraising event. For $20, people re-ceived a generous dinner of local foodprepared on the farm. Photo ops aroundthe farm and Chicken Scat Bingo wereadded to the agenda to bring in addi-tional income.

Just down the road from BradleyFarm lies Evolutionary Organics Farm.Kira Kinney saw 19 of her 22 acres gounder water during the floods. Her ef-forts to get back on her feet include a

unique approach. Kira has registeredher farm at myregistry.com. There,friends and supporters can purchase,via PayPal, gift certificates for seeds,chicken feed, potting soil or make a do-nation for “general farm support”. Ather greenmarket booth in New YorkCity, Kinney is selling photographs ofher farm taken during better times. Ki-ra has also set up a sort of “debit card”system. Customers pre-pay now andwill use their credit for goods in thespring. In a letter to her farm market e-mail list she writes “One thing I do sayabout myself is that I am an idea facto-ry, so I will get there some how, it is justgoing to take a little time.”

After losing the majority of theircrops, Taliaferro Farms in New Paltz re-ceived an outpouring of support in theform of donations of labor, meals andcash from its CSA members. Sylvester“Pete” Taliaferro, whose home was alsoflooded, gave high praise to them as wellas the larger community. “It’s just beenunbelievable; the support we’ve gottenfrom the community has helped us outtremendously,” said Taliaferro. Hisplan and advice: “Just muddle alongand try to get to the end of the season.”

The community is indeed rallying inmany different ways. On Oct. 4, theRosendale Theater Cooperative (RTC)presented the documentary film “FoodOver Knife” to benefit local farms. Car-rie Wykoff of Events That Matter andboard member of the RTC explains thatthe pumpkins were the spark for this ef-fort, “In Rosendale we saw many apumpkin come down the RondoutCreek right behind Main Street. Weknew that those pumpkins were from afarm and that there was a lot of devas-tation. The RTC wants to help supportthe growers as they re-built and re-plant.” All proceeds were donated to

RVGA, where they will be distributed toUlster county farms in need.

“New Paltz Flood Aid — Farmers,Families and First Responders” signssprouted up as flood waters receded.The non-profit was quickly establishedto assess damage and gather resourcesto rebuild. They are hosting an all daybenefit concert on Oct. 16 at HasbrouckPark in New Paltz. A long list of local mu-sicians will be donating their time andtalent to entertain guests. Besides theadmission fee, income will be generatedby the sale of T-shirts, food and raffles,all donated by the community. Fundswill be distributed based on need.

On campus at SUNY New Paltz, an-other benefit was held. The first annualFarmfest! Local Food Celebration ispart of The Village of New Paltz LocalFood Week (Oct. 2-9). It was planned farbefore the floods as a free event to con-nect people to growers. In response tothe floods, Farmfest! joined forces withFlood Aid and held a silent auction andart raffle to benefit area farms.

Across the river in Dutchess County,the Rhinebeck Farmers Market Hurri-cane Recovery Fundraiser is selling,among other things, inexpensive farmthemed T-shirts and greeting cards cre-ated and donated by a local artist. Thiseffort will benefit surrounding farms,including some in Ulster County.

There has been a great deal of lossand uncertainty, but one thing is evi-dent. Farmers are fighting back.They’re using their resources creativelyand accepting help that the communityis offering.

Says Kira Kinney, “Farming can besuch a solitary thing, that you losesight of the impact we have on oth-ers. When so many people step up tohelp you it is a little hard to believeand comprehend.”

by Julie Cushine-RiggWithin the beautiful Helderberg

Mountains in the town of Knox, NY,Cheryl and Dale Frantzen operate theirfamily farm, Frantzen’s Scenic Acres.The farm was bought by Dale’s parentsin the 1940s as a working dairy farm,though like many dairy farms from theearly and mid part of the last century, ithas transitioned from dairy to growingcrops and raising animals for meat. To-day, the Frantzens, along with theirchildren Sarah and Adam, are raising avariety of vegetables, poultry, and beefcattle on 135 acres.

“Both Dale and I were raised onfarms. My grandparents owned a dairyfarm in Vermont, and Dale’s family wasrunning the dairy farm here. Severalyears ago we decided not to continuewith the dairy end of the farm,” saidCheryl. So instead of selling or subdi-viding the land, the couple branchedout into growing and later beef cattle.

What the Frantzens do differentlythan some other farms is that they spe-cialize in heritage breeds — as part oftheir mission statement/pamphletsays, “We focus on sustainable breedsso that in the future we will not be de-pendent upon hatcheries and otherbreeders for our stock. We have been in-cubating and hatching our turkeypoults since we began.”

How the Frantzens decided to raiseheritage breeds comes from memories ofCheryl’s grandparent’s farm in Vermont.

On a visit there, Cheryl recalls, “Mygrandfather always raised a Charlet forbeef every year. I remember we had themost delicious roast beef for dinnerwhen Dale and I went to visit themonce and thinking, ‘I can raise beef likethis too’.”

Up until 1998 the Frantzens wereraising a couple of different breeds forbeef cattle, including the Charlets, andfinishing them on grain. From therethey researched other breeds for pro-ducing cattle and started raising Scot-tish Highlanders for their adaptabilityto the hilly terrain and climate of theHeldeberg Mountains. It was a greatchoice to breed for the Franten’s partlybecause there was an otherwise unus-able and overgrown field on the farm.

A steep slope and overwhelmingshrubbery were obstacles in that field,but the Frantzen’s used the High-landers to manage the unruly vegeta-tion. That, together with the High-lander’s ability to maneuver the terrainin the hilly Heldebergs has been a goodmatch so far.

“They’ll go and clean up that wholearea. Plus, their meat is lean, as low incholesterol as the white meat of

chicken,” Cheryl states.What the Highlanders lack in mar-

bling, they make up for in taste. A cus-tomer of the Frantzens had even placedan order for a share before their firstcow was raised. “They heard aboutwhat we were doing and placed an orderto us through e-mail.”

The heritage breeds don’t stop withcattle. The farm is also raising heritagebreeds of chickens, goose, duck,turkey, and most recently, rabbit.

Cheryl says of their new additions,“The Silver Fox Rabbit is only the sec-ond breed of rabbit to be created in theUnited States and is very rare. They arevery docile, have a higher survival rateand a higher meat-to-bone ratio thanother meat rabbits. Rabbit meat is thehighest in protein of any meat and verylean; therefore, very nutritious.”

Chickens raised by the Frantzens in-clude Freedom Rangers, a breed raisedin France out on pastures. What has be-come a reflection of what consumersare buying, the farm now sells wholebirds and has phased out selling halves,which was very popular for a long time.

Most customers don’t realize thebreed of chickens that are raised formeat, but seems be changing asfarmers like Cheryl and Dale reachout to the food buying public who areeager to learn about where their foodcomes from.

Turkey breeds being raised onFrantzen’s Scenic Acres include RegalReds and they are becoming more andmore in demand for farm customers,especially around the Thanksgivingholiday.

“The Regal Reds have a more trueturkey flavor, it has a little longer to de-velop that kind of nuttiness to thetaste,” Cheryl reports. She also saysthat customers really have taken a lik-ing to the breed and that the farm hassold out of turkeys for the past few yearsthat they’ve been raising them. In 2009the farm sold over 50 turkeys to cus-tomers from all around the Capital Re-gion including Saratoga. The followingyear was even better for the family —selling over 60 turkeys.

In addition to animals, the farmgrows tomatoes, cucumbers, squash,onions, shallots, carrots beets and po-tatoes. Perhaps their most popular vari-ety comes in the potato crops — theygrow fingerlings, Adirondack blues, andred new potatoes.

“The colors are really intriguing to thechildren. When they see a blue or a redpotato they’re more likely to try it,” saidCheryl.

Turkeys have proven to be a successful flock at Frantzen's Scenic Acres.

Senator Casey will introduce TheFederal Milk Marketing Improve-ment Act of 2011

While we were in Washington, D.C.,[the week of Sept. 26], staff members ofSenator Robert P. Casey, Jr. (D-PA), an-nounced that the Pennsylvania Senatorwill be introducing the Federal MilkMarketing Act of 2011 [hopefully theweek of Oct. 3]. Senator Casey alongwith former Pennsylvania SenatorArlen Specter, had introduced the orig-inal version of the Federal Milk Market-ing Improvement Act.

Presently we are seeking other U.S.Senators to co-sponsor the proposedbill. Dairy farmers, agri-business peo-ple and all interested parties should becontacting their U.S. Senators and urgethem to co-sponsor the proposed bill.

In our opinion the Federal Milk Mar-keting Improvement Act of 2011 is theonly proposed dairy legislation that willallow the average dairy farmer to covertheir cost of operation and return aprofit to his dairy farm.

The continued decline in the value ofmanufactured dairy products, whichwill result in substantial lower prices todairy farmers clearly indicates thatdairy farmers deserve a new pricing for-mula to cover their continued increasein operating their dairy farms.

Another important reason for a newpricing formula:

In the past we have printed out sever-al reasons why all dairy farmers deservea new pricing formula. Now we have an-other reason.

When Congress passed legislationthat implemented the Milk Income LossContract payments (MILC) on Class Imilk, they established the Class I targetprice (for the MILC program) at $16.94per cwt. The $16.94 price actually wasthe same Class I price that was used inthe former Northeast Interstate DairyCompact.

After a few years of the $16.94 Class Itarget price, the U.S. Congress imple-mented a feed adjuster which resultedin a higher Class I target price. Somepeople are estimating the target pricecould reach $22 per cwt this fall. Thiscould call for MILC payments to bemade later on. However, for the time be-ing let’s forget about the MILC pay-ments. More importantly the probable$22 target price for Class I milk, (again

for MILC payments) means there will bea $5.06 per cwt increase in the dairyfarmers cost of production for the costof feeding his dairy animals. However,what about the remaining cost of pro-duction on the dairy farmers operation?These costs have also escalated.

As I observe the cost of production fig-ures issued by the USDA, it appearsthat approximately 50 percent of thedairy farmers’ cost of production fig-ures are related to feed costs and 50percent for all other costs of production.With this in mind, then if the targetprice for Class I milk (again for the MILCpayments) raised $5 per cwt because ofthe increase in feed costs since the be-ginning of the MILC program, than allother costs also raised approximately$5 per cwt.

With these calculations then the truevalue of Class I milk in Federal OrderNumber 1 should be approximately$27 per cwt. Is this too high? I don’tthink so. The highest Class I price inFederal Order Number 1 was $25.16per cwt in September 2007. In Pennsyl-vania, the PA Milk Marketing Boardhad a premium on fluid milk of approx-imately $2 per cwt over the $25.16which meant a total Class I price of ap-proximately $27.16. In order Number1, if you subtract the $3.25 per cwt dif-ferential it would leave a manufacturedprice of $23.75. Isn’t this strange; theUSDA’s cost of production figures indi-cate the National Average cost of pro-ducing milk for June of 2011 was$23.62. This is only $0.13 per cwt dif-ferent from calculating the pricethrough the MILC payments of $27 percwt for Class I milk.

No matter how you analyze it, by us-ing USDA’s figures, every dairy farmermust realize by now exactly why thingshave been tough and unrealistic to theaverage dairy farmer.

These figures should convince thedairy farmers that the only way theycan cover their cost and realize a profiton their dairy farm is to support theFederal Milk Marketing ImprovementAct of 2011.

Bio-char: diamond inthe rough

My friend Bob askedme to research the soilamendment characteris-tics of bio-char, since hemanufactures severalfertilizer-type productswith his pelletizing busi-ness. According to theWikipedia on-line ency-clopedia, bio-char is ahigh-carbon, fine-grained residue, original-ly produced using cen-turies-old techniques. Itis charcoal produced inthe earth, subjected togreat heat in the absenceof oxygen; if oxygen ispresent, combustion oc-curs, resulting in flames.Bio-char is also calledterra preta (literally“black earth”) is a man-made soil of prehistoricorigin that is higher innitrogen, phosphorus,potassium and calciumthan adjacent soils. Bio-char controls water andreduces leaching of nu-trients from the rhizos-phere. Rich in humus,pieces of hundreds- of-years old unfired clay

pottery, and black car-bon, it is a haven forbeneficial microbes, thatpromotes and sustainsthe growth of mycor-rhizae. Mycorrhizae arethe minute fibrouscolonies of bacteria andfungi which surroundand nourish plant roottips. Thus, biochar hasbeen shown to retain itsfertility for thousands ofyears. In university tri-als, terra preta has in-creased crop yields by asmuch as 800 percent.

These soils are man-made, generally abouttwo feet deep, most typi-cally created by SouthAmerican natives prior tothe arrival of ChristopherColumbus (pre-Columbian). Theyachieved such throughthe incorporation ofcharcoal and unfired ce-ramic pieces into theearth. Nowadays, it iseven possible to producecarbon-negative useableenergy (such as biodieselor hydrogen) while mak-ing the major input, bio-char, for farm use. Terra

preta sequesters carbonat such a high rate thatfarming with this tech-nique could be eligible forlucrative carbon credits.Farsighted academicsembrace the properties ofterra preta, documentingsuch with unbiased uni-versity scientific studies.Bio-char advocates con-sider terra preta to be thecornerstone of a pro-posed agricultural sys-tem that would both feedstarving populations andsolve global warming.

These centuries-oldmanmade soils are com-monly found in theBrazilian Amazon basinand other regions ofSouth America in parcelsaveraging 50 acres.

Terra preta soils arevery popular with the lo-cal farmers and are usedespecially to producecash crops such as pa-paya and mango, whichgrow about three timesas rapidly as on sur-rounding infertile soils.These special soils arelaced with shards of un-fired pottery. Such arti-facts were likely intro-duced into the soil justlike modern growers addperlite or sand to pottingmix. Shards served tokeep the soil from baking

hard under the tropicalsun, before a cover of veg-etation could grow over it.Some authorities believethat this pottery wasmade solely for incorpo-ration into these soils.

William Devan, a geol-ogist from the Universityof Wisconsin, who isprominent in terra pretaresearch, commented:“The black terra preta isassociated with long-en-during Indian villagesites, and is filled withceramics, animal andfish bones, and othercultural debris. (Thesesoils) have generally sus-tained this fertility to thepresent despite the trop-ical climate and despitefrequent or periodic cul-tivation. This is probably

because of high carboncontent and an associat-ed high microbial activitywhich is self perpetuat-ing.” In fact, archeolo-gists have proven thatthere were large pre-Columbian indigenouspopulations thriving insome of the world’slargest, and cleanest,cities in the Americas. Inaddition to greatachievements in art andarchitecture, these earlypeoples bred the ances-tral forms of moderncrops, such as maize(corn), sunflower, beans,potato, sweet potato,tomato, peanut, avoca-do, tobacco and cotton).They also developed the“three sisters” practice,

which involved planting a trio of sym-biotic unrelated species together:maize, squash, and beans… a simple,very effective, form of biodiversity.

When the Europeans arrived, pro-duction of terra preta stopped. Theseforeigners brought disease and hostiletreatment to the natives, which deci-mated the labor force required to cre-ate terra preta (it was labor-intensive).But it was undoubtedly the introduc-tion of the Spanish steel axe that led toslash-and-burn by small bands of peo-ple, replacing slash-and-char by large

groups. When clearing land with astone axe, a conservation of all biomasand an intensification of soil produc-tion becomes a necessity. Steel axes —and, later, chainsaws — contributed toexploiting the very short-term benefitsof ash. Traditional methods can dieout in a single generation, and in thatAmazonian social structure, the elderswere responsible for all technicalknowledge. Most likely the elders werethe hardest hit by epidemics, and theloss of their cultural knowledge, com-bined with social disruption, would

lead to the replacement of a deeply ef-fective technology with a much less-ef-fective substitute.

Recently high-carbon terra preta-likesoils have been discovered outside ofthe Amazon, in Holland, Japan, SouthAfrica and Indonesia, and are current-ly being studied. Can carbon inputsother than charcoal be used? TheJapanese are extensively investigatingthe use of coal dust for promoting fieldfertility. Coal dust does seem to repro-duce many of the positive effects ofwood charcoal. Those who want to usecoal dust for soil fertility need to makecertain that the dust is from browncoal, which is more humic, and thatthe coal does not contain toxins.

The research of Siegfried Marian onthe benefits of carbon incorporation,as reported in Leonard Ridzon’s TheCarbon Connection and The CarbonCycle, led to the development of Rid-zon’s NutriCarb product, whichclaimed agricultural benefits very sim-ilar to those claimed for terra preta.NutriCarb stopped being produced fol-lowing Mr. Ridzon’s passing severalyears ago. I talked to Ridzon about 10years ago, and he wanted me to get in-volved in marketing NutriCarb, which,I must admit, I did not understandvery well. Samples he gave me smelledlike chimney creosote. But apparentlyNutriCarb detoxified soils and en-hanced crop performance.

A question often asked is how is ter-ra preta is linked to alternative energyand climate change abatement. Terrapreta is a carbon sink, as is most car-bon in the soil. Slash-and-burn agri-culture contributes greatly to globalwarming. If terra preta technologieswere applied to tropical farming, less

land would have to be cleared for farm-ing, and if farmers in temperate zonessuch as the Midwest incorporatedcharcoal or other chars into their soil,more carbon could be sequestered. Ifthis char is produced by appropriatetechnology, such as pyrolysis (heat ap-plied, absent oxygen), both fuel and a“restorative, high-carbon fertilizer” canbe produced.

This process does not require wood— it is just as effective when agricultur-al wastes, such as manure from allspecies, as well as wasted feed, andeven peanut shells — are subjected topyrolysis. How much charcoal needs tobe incorporated? In published reportson plot tests of the effect of charcoal onplant growth, incorporation at 20-30percent by weight tended to consistent-ly produce the most benefit. In rowcrops, this would translate to at least200 tons of char incorporated in thetop six inches of an acre… an invest-ment that can be amortized over a fewcenturies. In many parts of the U.S.we’re destroying soils in much less timethan that. Think of another carbon pro-cessing project, this one totally natural,requiring tremendous pressure. Mostof the men reading the column havegiven one of these to a woman.

One the writers I studied, who wroteabout bio-char, said that a form of ter-ra preta can be created by seriouslyoverheating a loaf of bread in a micro-wave. The shrunken, very black, endproduct, if oxygen is sufficiently lack-ing, is bio-char. If you try this experi-ment, be sure to have baking sodahandy, just in case your micro-wavecontains more oxygen than youplanned on.

by Cyndie SirekisSteering clear of “producer” and “in-

dustry” when talking about food grownor raised by America’s farm and ranchfamilies was one of the tidbits of adviceoffered at a recent gathering of FarmBureau members and staff fromaround the country involved in agricul-tural promotion and education. Thesolution? Just use farmer.

J. Scott Vernon Ph.D., a featuredspeaker at Farm Bureau’s nationalPromotion & Education Conference, isthe founder of I Love Farmers… TheyFeed My Soul and a professor of agri-cultural education and communicationat California Polytechnic State Univer-sity. He is not alone in urging food pro-ducers to call themselves farmers.

Vernon and the board of directorsof I Love Farmers, none of whom areolder than 25, do stand out in thegrowing field of those dubbed “agri-

cultural advocates” due to their cho-sen methods of engaging with thenon-farming public.

Provocative is an apt description forsome of the strategies used by theyoung agricultural enthusiasts (ages15-25) who make up I Love Farmers,the 501(c)(3) charitable organizationfounded by Vernon to “create a conver-sation among peers about our food,our farmers and our future.”

The slogan “Where’s the Food, With-out the Farmer?” is one example. Teeshirts, ball caps and temporary rub-ontattoos emblazoned with the slogan arewildly popular as conversation starterswhen worn by supporters.

Hosting rap and reggae concertsand using social media are other funways to get points about today’sfarming across to young people, ac-cording to Vernon.

Going even further afield from the

traditional venues ag advocates oftenfrequent to reach the public, such asfarmers’ markets and community fairs,supporters have placed “I Love Farm-ers” artwork in tattoo parlors.

Spreading the word about today’sagriculture in tattoo parlors may havesome merit.

According to the Web site Vanishing-Tattoo.com, which features facts andstatistics about inked body art, 14 per-cent of Americans now have one ormore tattoos. That’s up from 6 percentin 1936.

Looking at age breakdowns is evenmore revealing. A 2006 a study done bythe Journal of the American Academy of

Dermatology found that 36 percent ofAmericans between the ages of 18 and29 have at least one tattoo. Expandingthe age bracket studied up to 50 revealsthat 40 percent sport some ink.

Despite the growing prevalenceand increased acceptance of tattoos,does Vernon really think people willask for “I Love Farming… it Feeds MySoul” tattoos?

Not at all, he says.“This is just one more place where we

can reach people and get them talkingabout food and farming,” he suggests.

Cyndie Sirekis is director of newsservices with the American Farm Bu-reau Federation.

by Tina L. LaVallee The 2011 Red Angus

National Conventionkicked off with a com-mercial cattle sympo-sium in Durham, NC onSept. 14. The sympo-sium was hosted by theRed Angus Association ofthe Carolinas and wasfree of charge to give lo-cal cattlemen an oppor-tunity to hear some ofthe distinguished speak-ers who had traveled tothe state as part of thenational convention.More than 160 attendeesfrom as far away as Mon-tana and Colorado came

to Durham to experiencethe southern hospitality.The president and exec-utive secretary of theCanadian Angus Associ-ation were also in atten-dance to hear the latestnews on America’sfourth largest beef breed.

This was the first timethe Red Angus NationalConvention was held inNorth Carolina, butGreenville, SC was thesite of the 2005 event.The Red Angus Associa-tion of the Carolinas,which encompasses bothstates, was establishedin 2004 to serve the

growing popularity of thebreed in the southeast.“We’re excited to havethe Red Angus NationalConvention here,” saidMark Morgan, nationalboard representative forthe Northeastern Region.“Preparations have beenunder way for a wholeyear.” The Carolinas maynot the first place thatcomes to mind when onethinks of beef cattle pro-duction, but the entiresoutheast is experienc-ing steady growth andRed Angus are playing asignificant role. “We cansee by our national

membership that thebreed is moving east,”said Morgan. “We see ex-cellent growth potentialthroughout the easternUnited States because ofthe Red Angus’s excel-lent disposition com-bined with the heterosis(crossbreeding) benefitsfor the commercial cat-tleman.”

The activity in the Car-olinas has not gone un-noticed. “The Red AngusAssociation of the Caroli-nas is one of the fastestgrowing in the UnitedStates,” said Greg Com-stock, Chief Executive

Officer of the Red AngusAssociation. “Southeast-ern cattlemen have dif-ferent needs from thosewest of the Mississippiand Red Angus are in-creasing in all areas, es-pecially where heat toler-ance is an issue. Red-hided cattle offer betteradaptive qualities inmany situations.”

The Commercial Cat-tlemen’s Symposium fea-tured a stellar group ofspeakers on the topic ofadding profitability to

the commercial cowherd.Dr. Tonya Amen, genet-ics expert for Pfizer, be-gan with an explanationof genomic enhancedEPDs and their impor-tance to commercialbreeders. “GE-EPDs canhelp track the most effi-cient sires, identify bullswith low fertility, andthose that produce thehighest value at the feed-lot,” she explained.

data adds accuracy to the standardEPD, which is strictly an estimate. Asingle genomic test can add as muchinformation as data collected on eightnatural calves, a lifetime’s produce fora cow.” This data available at an earlyage can identify the potential worth offemale even before her first breeding,thus allowing better informed deci-sions regarding sire selection and aheifer’s retention in the herd.

Dr. Gordon Jones, Professor at West-ern Kentucky University, addressed es-sential cow herd traits. He stated thatfemales must have adaptability to thelocal environment and forages, gooddisposition, calving ease, fertility, andlongevity. Of these, Jones consideredthe most important trait to be longevi-ty. “A heifer does not turn a profit untilher third or fourth calf. She must bephysically able to stay in a producer’sherd long enough to earn her keep.” Asfor achieving longevity, Jones recom-mended judicious crossbreeding withBritish cattle such as the Red Angus

and Continental breeds. Next, Dr. Joseph Cassidy, Associate

Professor at North Carolina State Uni-versity, gave an interesting report on ajoint study being conducted with Mis-sissippi State University on the rate ofhair coat shedding and its effect oncow performance. Data is being gath-ered on 5,000 cows in an effort to learnthe effects of a heavier, slow sheddinghair coat on heat stress and calf weightgain. Heat stress is a major factor inthe south and southeast where highhumidity slows a cow’s natural systemof evaporative cooling.

The session concluded with LarryKeenan, director of Beef Improvementfor the Red Angus Association of Amer-ica. He emphasized the importance ofthe whole herd reporting that has beenimplemented within the Red Angusbreed since its inception and how theinformation gained can help select andretain cattle for the cow/ calf producer.

Red Angus CEO Greg Comstocksummarized the symposium by stating

that the Red Angus Association’s fullherd reporting system provides very

clean data sets which make predictingcertain traits easier and that the organ-ization is focused on making this infor-mation more meaningful to the ranch-er’s profitability. “We cannot becomedisconnected from the commercial cus-tomer. Our goal must be to produceseedstock that fulfills these needs. Wewant to add value through superiorRed Angus genetics and we help ac-complish this by providing accurate ge-netic predictions to our members.”

If a tree could talkThe other day, my

husband came up fromcutting wood and toldme that one of thelargest trees on the farmhad blown over in thisApril’s 90-mile per hourwind. It was a fence lineborder tree betweenthree different farms. Hesaid that he thought I’dlike to see it before hecut it up for firewood.Late Sunday afternoonwe made the trip downthe lane.

He wasn’t exaggerating.After measuring it we re-alized the tree was over100 feet high and around15 feet in circumference.That huge fallen tree,

even lying on its side, wasstill massive, measuringover four feet in diameter,30 feet from the base. Theclosest we could estimateby counting the rings wasthat it began growing be-fore the Civil War. If itcould talk, I can onlyimagine what it might tellus. I’m sure it would openup a lot of hidden storieswe didn’t know about.

It’s mind boggling justhow much has changedsince that tree began itsgrowth. Horse and bug-gies were replaced by thehorseless carriage. Oxenand workhorses madeway for the iron horse.The Erie Barge Canalwas a major means of

travel when this placewas settled, but wassoon replaced by therailroad system. Today,there are millions oftrucks doing the majori-ty of the transportationof our goods.

Just look at all thecommunication changesthat have taken place.First, gas lights thenelectricity came on thescene, with all the con-veniences that came withit. Telephones, radios,then television, and latercomputers that are evolv-ing constantly. Electron-ic gadgets that are toonumerous to mention oc-cupy our time.

Robotic milkers, trac-tors that use GPS to nav-igate across fields with-out operators, and newseed varieties that aresupposed to be the an-swer to the world’s fu-ture hunger needs. Milkproduction is on an ever-

changing upward trend.Back in the 1950’s20,000 pounds of milk,with 800 pounds of but-terfat per cow was a pipedream, but today it is be-ing surpassed. New ap-ple varieties are comingon the scene every year,replacing old provenones, all planted ondwarf stock, on trellises.

Just look at all the ma-jor world conflicts thathave taken place in thelast 150 years. Today,look at the amount ofmoney that is needed inour national budget forour defense. Back 100years ago, airplanes werebarely making it acrossour nation in a week, buttoday our military fight-ers can make that sametrip in hours.

I wonder what thattree might try and tell usthat might be the answerto all the worlds’ prob-lems that we face

presently. Look at howmany more people wehave to feed today onthis earth, compared to150 years ago. Just a fewyears ago we were beingpaid not to produce cer-tain crops, because therewas such a surplus. To-day, there is talk of ra-tioning certain crops.Everyday, more andmore people are askingwhy we are using cornfor ethanol productionwhen supplies are tight.I always wonder whypeople are reluctant tolet the farmers get asmall piece of the action,like our friends in the oilbusiness. Don’t they re-alize they are going topay for it, either in theirfood prices or at thepump? I guess we’ll allhave to make sometough choices!

We are being forced toreadjust our thinking onour food supplies andthose supplying it. Theweather has become thefocal point for everyone’ssurvival and reignssupreme in our minds,not just for vacationsand pleasure, but for ourexistence.

What has not changedin all these years? Take awalk outside on a clearcrisp night and look upinto the heavens and takein the view of all the starsthat are still where theyalways have been sincecreation. Gaze at themoon as it moves majes-tically across the sky,

night after night. Look atthe eastern horizon everymorning and watch thesun unerringly bring thebreak of day and warmyour hearts. Watch for arainbow after a summerrain and look into theeyes of a child as they seeone for the first time.

Our Creator loves us somuch that He made allthis for our enjoyment.He is so awesome andmajestic that it is almostimpossible for our hu-man minds to even beginto comprehend what Heis able and can do. Wefind it hard to believe thatHe loves us so much thatHe knows the numbers ofhairs on our head. It isHis desire that we all ac-cept His free gift andspend eternity with Him.

Even the trees and allthe plants on the earthare always looking andreaching up towardstheir Creator. We are ablessed people. But weforget sometimes tothank Him for all thisbeauty! We all get tiredand want to lie down likethat tree did after allthose years.

For there is hope for atree — if it’s cut down itsprouts again and growstender, new branches.Though its roots havegrown old in the earth,and its stump decays, itmay sprout and budagain at the touch of wa-ter, like a new seeding.(Job 14:7,8 &9) TLB

??Harvesting Corn That Has Some Mold?

~ Earlier Harvest - Roasting will dry corn down eight to ten points of moisture.

~ Higher Digestibility - Research studies show that roasted corn is more digestible than raw corn. The

energy level increased by 30%.~ Purer Feed - Roasting can effectively remove mold

spores and reduce toxin levels that are harmful tolivestock, swine and poultry.

Pumpkins in shortsupply

Usually my grandsonhas lots of pumpkins tosell, but this year theyare in short supply. If hehas enough for the fami-ly, that is about it. Onceagain the growing sea-son this year played atrick on this crop. Whilethe vines grew, they rap-idly shriveled up fromlack of moisture.

I heard an announceron the radio reiteratethe same message. Ifyou hope to have apumpkin to make ajack-o-lantern you bet-ter get it as soon as theyare out unless you livein an area that was notpart of the drought.

Years ago we used togrow pie pumpkins. Theyare smaller and sweeterthan those used for jack-o-lanterns. We used thepumpkins we grew forsmall jack-o-lanterns. Ialways kept stubs ofcandles to light the littlejack-o-lanterns.

Once the pumpkinswere all picked my moth-er-in-law canned andfroze the meat of them.First we cleaned out theseeds, then, we cut theflesh into small pieces thatcould be boiled or baked.Once they were cooled weremoved the skin andmashed them. I froze mostof mine because I did nothave a pressure canner atthe time.

I wonder if pie pump-kins are in the sameboat. Since they growduring the same timeframe I assume they are.We just recovered from ashort crop a couple yearsago where the cans ofpumpkin flew off theshelves as quickly asthey were stocked. Iwonder what this seasonwill bring.

No matter how youlook at it farmers play agame of chance as theyhead into their fieldseach spring. They sowthe seeds in faith thatthere will be enough sunand rain to grow a goodcrop. Then they wait to

see how things play out.The return may swell

the coffers or they mayget very little. It is alwaysa gamble. I have to saythat businesses no mat-ter what they are the ul-timate gamble. An in-vestor puts money into abusiness hoping for anadequate return. That isnot always the case.

I feel fortunate to havesome pumpkin put awayso I know I will be able tomake pies, breads, andpancakes.

The October birthdaysare coming up fast. Iknow my daughter-in-law intends to makepumpkin pie for her

son’s birthday.I thought we were do-

ing something differentthis year but the boyhas chosen for us to goto the Audubon Societyto celebrate onceagain. We wander thetrails where “animals”tell about themselves,and then we go into thebuilding for cider andpopcorn. We have ourpie at home when we

are all done. It really isa very nice night aslong as the weather isdecent.

My baking skill will becalled into play when wecelebrate for my son anddaughter. I’ll make piefor him, but my daughterprefers cake.

Fire safetyby Anna Meyerhoff, FarmSafety Educator, New YorkCenter for Agricultural Med-icine & Health (NYCAMH)

Fire is a major hazardaround the farm and inour homes. Fires can bestarted by things like

electrical equipment,chemical reactions, ciga-rettes and matches,sparks from machinery,batteries and motors.Flammable materialssuch as hay, straw, bed-ding, cobwebs, dust,

paint, fertilizer andchemicals can also causea fire. Accelerants likegasoline, oil or aerosolcans make a fire spreadfaster. To be preparedand stay safe:

• Keep accelerants andflammable materialsaway from heat, flame orsparks

• Install smoke alarms.Change the batteries andtest the alarms every sixmonths

• Run regular fire drillsso everyone knows what

to do if there is a fire• Know where phones,

emergency exits and fireextinguishers are

• Post emergencyphone numbers and di-rections to the farm atevery phone

• Clean up fire hazardslike brush, oily rags anddust

• Check electricalcords, plugs and outletsto make sure they aresafe

• Don’t leave heaterson or plugged in when

they are not being usedWhen a small fire

breaks out, make sureeveryone gets to safetyand call for help. Youmay be able to put it outwith a fire extinguisher ifyou act quickly. To useone, just remember toPASS: Pull, Aim, Squeezeand Sweep.

• Pull: Pull the pin atthe top of the extinguish-er. This lets you squeezethe handle to dischargeit.

• Aim: Don’t aim for

the flames near the topof the fire. You must aimfor the base of the fire.

• Squeeze: Squeeze thehandle to release the ex-tinguishing agent. Whenyou let go of the handle,the discharge stops.

• Sweep: Using asweeping motion, movethe extinguisher backand forth from side toside to put the fire out.

Always stay at a safedistance and don’t everturn your back on a fire.If the fire starts tospread, back away andleave the area rightaway. Remember, firecan spread quickly!

As part of our FarmEmergency ResponseProgram, NYCAMH canprovide farms in NewYork with free fire extin-guisher training, avail-able in English andSpanish. We continue tooffer free on-farm safetytraining and surveys aswell. For more informa-tion, please contact meby calling 800-343-7527, ext 291 or e-mailameyerhoff@nycamh.com.

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 tobrush 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 summermoves 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 wereequipped with a ROPSand a safety belt, about350 lives would be savedeach year. Make sureyour tractor — old andnew — has a fully opera-tional ROPS. Along witha fastened seatbelt,ROPS provides a protec-tive zone around the op-erator, which proves tobe highly effective in pre-venting serious injuryand death due to tractorrollovers.

Here are Kubota’s “TenCommandments 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 aseatbelt 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 wear

the 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 and

stay 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 or

hot. Additionally, do notadd coolant to the radia-tor while the engine ishot; hot coolant canerupt and scald.

9. Keep all children offand away from yourtractor and its imple-ments at all times. Chil-dren are generally at-tracted to tractors andthe work they do. How-ever, a tractor’s work isnot child’s play. Remem-ber, a child’s disappoint-ment is fleeting, while

your memory of his orher injury or death re-sulting from riding thetractor with you, or be-ing too close, will last alifetime.

10. Never be in a hurryor take chances aboutanything you do withyour tractor. Think safe-ty first, then take yourtime and do it right.

The National Cattle-men’s Beef Association(NCBA) and the PublicLands Council (PLC) re-cently filed an amicusbrief to the U.S.Supreme Court in theSackett v. Environmen-tal Protection Agency(EPA) case, which willlikely be argued in Janu-ary 2012. Dustin VanLiew, PLC executive di-rector and NCBA direc-

tor of federal lands, saidSackett v. EPA could seta dangerous precedentallowing EPA and otherfederal agencies to makejurisdictional determina-tions that are not judi-cially or administrativelyreviewable.

In 2005, Chantell andMichael Sackett pur-chased a plot of land,less than one acre insize, to build a home.

However, in 2007, afterfilling in half the lot withgravel in preparation forconstruction, EPA is-sued the Sacketts an“Administrative Compli-ance Order” (ACO), al-leging the land was awetland subject toClean Water Act (CWA)jurisdiction and orderedthe Sacketts to restorethe land to its originalcondition or face nearly

$50,000 in fines perday. The Sackett familyappealed for a hearingon their alleged violationbut was denied by EPAand the federal court.

According to Van Liew,the court threw out thecase because it deter-mined that the CWA pre-vented judicial reviewACOs until the enforce-ment actions have beenissued by federal agen-

cies. He said the Sackettscould not challenge thecompliance order untilthey refused to do what itinstructed and conse-quently were fined tensof thousands of dollars.

“Like millions of Amer-icans regularly do, theSacketts rightfully pur-chased land to buildtheir dream home. Un-fortunately, instead ofbuilding that home, they

have spent the past fouryears battling EPA andthe courts,” Van Liewsaid. “The Sackettsweren’t trying to cut cor-ners. They followed therules and now they justwant a fair shake in thecourts. The uncertaintysurrounding the CWApermitting process andthe time and financialcosts associated with ithas left them withabysmal options of sub-mitting to the regulator’sdemands and the costsassociated with those de-mands, risking cata-strophic fines for non-compliance or investingsignificant time and re-sources pursuing a per-mit. In this process, theonly winner is the feder-al government. Privatelandowners lose.”

According to NCBADeputy EnvironmentalCounsel Ashley Lyon,this case could have far-reaching impacts onfarmers and ranchersand all private landown-ers. She said the CWAhas morphed from astatute to protect our na-tion’s waters in to a toolfor regulators to micro-manage daily decisions ofprivate landowners. Shesaid the U.S. SupremeCourt will considerwhether petitioners mayseek pre-enforcement ju-dicial review of ACOs andwhether petitioners’ cur-rent inability to seek pre-enforcement judicial re-view of the ACO violatestheir rights under theDue Process Clause.

“The brief NCBA andPLC filed in this casepushes for a decisionthat affirms a landown-er’s right to challenge ajurisdictional determi-nation before they arerequired to either gothrough the costly andtime-consuming per-mitting process or arefined thousands of dol-lars,” Lyon said. “Todayit is private landown-ers, who followed therules, attempting tobuild a home but pri-vate landowners, in-cluding farmers andranchers, will no doubtface future challengesif EPA and other federalagencies’ decisions arenot subject to judicialand administration re-view. We are hopefulthe U.S. SupremeCourt will consider thesweeping impact thiscase could have our allprivate landowners inthis country.”

As the United States enters anotherflu season, the Pork Checkoff is advis-ing producers, farm personnel andothers who have contact with pigs toget the seasonal flu vaccination assoon as possible to help protect hu-man and pig health.

“It’s always wise for producers andswine farm workers to reduce the riskof getting sick and bringing the flu tothe farm or workplace by getting vacci-nated,” said Jennifer Koeman, directorof producer and public health for the

Pork Checkoff. “It also demonstratesthe industry’s ‘We Care’ approach toprotecting employees, animals andpublic health.”

According to the U.S. Department ofHealth and Human Services, all peopleover the age of 6 months of age shouldbe immunized for influenza each year.

“People may remain contagious forup to five to seven days after gettingsick,” Koeman said. “That’s why it’s socrucial that employers have a sick-leave policy that encourages those ex-

periencing symptoms of influenza-likeillness to stay home.”

At the farm level, good building ven-tilation and good hygiene can help re-duce transmission of flu viruses.

“To prevent pigs and humans fromother species’ influenza viruses, pro-ducers also should look at bird-proof-ing their buildings, protecting feed frombirds and enforcing biosecurity prac-tices, such as the use of farm-specificclothing and footwear,” Koeman said.

According to Lisa Becton, PorkCheckoff’s director of swine health in-

formation and research, “It’s very im-portant to monitor your herd’s healthdaily and contact your herd veterinari-an if influenza is suspected. Rapid de-tection of influenza can help producersand their veterinarians implement ap-propriate strategies to better managesick pigs.”

Additional general flu-related informa-tion can be found at www.cdc.gov/flu.The Pork Checkoff also has a factsheeton influenza, “Influenza: Pigs, Peopleand Public Health.”

We will never forget. On Tuesdaymorning, Sept. 11, 2001, the U.S.came under attack when four commer-cial airliners were hijacked and used tostrike targets on the ground. Nearly3,000 people tragically lost their lives.Because of the actions of the 40 pas-sengers and crew aboard one of theplanes, Flight 93, the attack on theU.S. Capitol was thwarted.

Monsanto has joined other compa-nies to bring recognition and honor tothose who sacrificed their lives by do-nating $25,000 to the Flight 93 Nation-al Memorial. The National Park Servicededicated Phase One of the project,and commemorated the 10th Anniver-sary of Sept. 11. However, this $62

million dollar project is still millions ofdollars short of its goal.

The Flight 93 National Memorial isthe only 9-11 memorial Congress hasdesignated as a national park. It’salso the only one on a rural site, hun-dreds of miles away from ground zeroand The Pentagon. Our rural commu-nities are the heart of America andMonsanto and the Monsanto Fundare working hard to give back to or-ganizations who reach out to helpothers, through programs like Ameri-ca’s Farmers Grow Communities andAmerica’s Farmers Grow Rural Edu-cation. This is another rural Americacause we are proud to support.

ALBANY, NY — The Federal Emer-gency Management Agency (FEMA) hasinitiated a program, in coordination

with State and local governments, toprovide Temporary Housing Units(THUs) to New York communities hard

hit by Hurricane Irene. “Temporary housing units are for

people who need a place to stay,with utilities, while they repair theirdamaged homes,” said Federal Coor-dinating Officer Philip E. Parr. “Ourgoal is to help people repair theirhomes as quickly as possible. Thetemporary housing units meet short-term housing needs, while flood sur-vivors make repairs.”

“We will work one-on-one with peo-ple to help them recover from this se-vere flooding,” said Andrew X. Feeney,Director of the New York State Office ofEmergency Management and State Co-ordinating Officer.

“I want to thank FEMA for working toget these temporary housing units inplace,” said Congressman Paul Tonko.“These units will assist those hardesthit by the flooding, making certainthey have living arrangements whilethey move forward with assessing andrepairing the damage to their homes.”

Available rental units on the openmarket within a reasonable distanceare the primary option for temporaryhousing. The FEMA temporary hous-ing units are another option.

The temporary housing units will beshipped to a federal staging area inCobleskill and then moved to a privatehome site or a commercial site.

FEMA housing experts will call peo-ple whose homes or rental units weredestroyed or severely damaged in theflooding, and who have registered withFEMA, to assess their temporary hous-ing needs on a case-by-case basis.

FEMA will discuss with flood sur-vivors whether a temporary housing

unit is the best option or if rental unitsare available within a reasonable dis-tance. The site must be clear of debrisand utility hook-ups must be readilyavailable. A site inspector will look atthe property to make sure it is suitablefor a temporary housing unit.

After the site is approved, the tempo-rary housing unit will be delivered andset up. Once the unit is ready, FEMAwill schedule an occupancy date withthe homeowner or renter.

FEMA does not charge rent for thetemporary housing unit, however ap-plicants must pay all utilities.

While living in the housing unit, res-idents can actively pursue makinghome repairs so they can return totheir home as soon as possible.

To register with FEMA, call theFEMA Helpline at 800-621-3362.Phone lines are open from 7 a.m. to10 p.m., seven days a week until fur-ther notice. People with hearing dis-abilities can use the TTY number,800-462-7585. Applicants can alsoregister online at www.DisasterAssis-tance.gov or with any web-enabledmobile device or smartphone atm.fema.gov. Follow the link to “applyonline for federal assistance.”

You might rememberseeing the television com-mercials with actor JamesGarner touting beef as“Real Food for Real Peo-ple” back in the late 1980sand early 1990s, orRobert Mitchum kickingoff the “Beef. It’s What’s

for Dinner” campaign inMay of 1992.

After a brief stint witha “Beef. It’s What YouWant” slogan in 1988,the checkoff returned to“Beef. It’s What’s for Din-ner” in 1999, but thistime featuring the deep,

powerful voice of cowboyactor Sam Elliott fornearly a decade.And that brings us to thecheckoff’s latest radioads, which have tanta-lized taste buds for beefsince 2007 with a sultryrecognizable voice re-minding consumers thatbeef is not only good tast-ing — but good for them.

Yes, beef is still what’sfor dinner. And these ef-forts to keep it that way

over the years arethanks to your invest-ment in the nationalBeef Checkoff Program,which is wrapping up its25th year in operationon behalf of the cattleranchers, farmers andimporters who pay intothe program nationwide.

In this second part of asix-part series celebrat-ing the beef checkoff’ssilver anniversary, we’refocusing on the historical

accomplishments of yourcheckoff investment intobeef promotion.Consumer Advertising

The launch of thecheckoff’s $21.7 millionbeef promotion cam-paign at the start of thenational checkoff pro-gram in the fall of 1986marked the largest con-centrated promotioncampaign that the beefindustry has everlaunched — even to date.And it’s still the only na-tional self-help programthat the industry has op-erating on its behalf.

Since the early days ofthe checkoff, however,“promotion” programsfunded through the beefcheckoff have includedfar more than consumeradvertising — withthings like foodserviceand retail promotionsand partnerships, aswell as new product ini-tiatives and veal promo-tions. But consumer ad-vertising remains an im-portant anchor in theoverall strategy to in-crease consumer de-mand for beef.

And the success levelof the “Beef. It’s What’sfor Dinner” campaignand its predecessors has

been tremendous, ac-cording to industry stan-dards. For example, con-sumer recognition of thebeef industry slogan hasreached as high as 86percent during its run —a level that any numberof huge corporationswith budgets exponen-tially larger than thecheckoff would bepleased to boast.

With its recognitionand creative television,radio and print commer-cials over the years, thecheckoff’s promotioncampaign helped firstslow the decline, and lat-er turn around consumerbeef demand, which hadbeen spiraling sharplydownward in the 1980s.

As the industrychanged over time —and other checkoff pro-gram areas focused onhelping cattlemen im-prove the quality andconsistency of the prod-uct they offered to fickleAmerican consumers, sotoo did the focus of thepromotion campaigns.Amid today’s health-con-scious consumer popu-lation, the checkoff isproud to boast that 29cuts of beef qualify aslean — a quality thatmarket research identi-fies as near or at the topof consumers’ list of de-mands from beef theypurchase today. Thecheckoff advertisingcampaign focuses onthat, as well as otherconsumer demands, likeconvenience and, al-ways, great taste.

As checkoff expenseshave increased dramati-cally while revenueshave not, the producerleaders who serve on theCattlemen’s Beef Boardand state beef councilshave worked diligently toleverage every dollar tothe fullest extent possi-ble. In fact, the latestcomprehensive econo-metric model identifyingthe value of a cattle-man’s checkoff dollar in-dicates that producersget a return of $5.55 forevery dollar invested.(Remember, the checkoffcannot single-handedlyturn around a bad mar-ket, so even at timeswhen the market maynot be as strong as pro-ducers would hope, thisindicates that their dol-lar-per-head invest-ments certainly are mak-ing things significantlybetter than they wouldbe without the checkoff.That’s an important con-cept to understand when

it comes to measuringthe checkoff’s results.)Other Key Promotions

The list of promotionprogram achievementsfunded by the beefcheckoff goes on and on.But let’s go beyond ad-vertising and take a lookat some of the key pro-motional accomplish-ments of your BeefCheckoff Program duringits first 25 years:

• Based on importantmuscle-profiling re-search that the checkoffcompleted near the turnof the century, thecheckoff launched BeefValue Cuts into the mar-ketplace, giving con-sumers increased choic-es for steaks and roasts

from single muscles inthe chuck and round.These cuts — includingthe flat iron steak, petitetender and ranch cutfrom the shoulder clod,the sirloin tip from theknuckle and the Westerngriller from the bottomround — increased thevalue of the chuck andround by creating steaksand roasts with qualitytaste, tenderness andprice points that con-sumers were seeking.Now selling at the rate of15 million to 20 millionpounds a year, Beef Val-ue Cuts have been a bighit with consumers,some available in tens ofthousands of restau-rants and supermarkets

nationwide, as thecheckoff continuouslyworks on promotion ofthese and other newcuts. In 2010, for exam-ple, the checkoff intro-duced six more new cutsfrom the beef round – in-cluding the Santa FeCut, the Round PetiteTender, the San AntonioSteak; the Tucson Cut,the Braison Cut, and theMerlot Cut — in optionssuitable for retail andfoodservice sectors.

• Foodservice partner-ships have garnered asmuch as $60 in promo-tions from restaurantand other foodservicecompanies for every dol-lar invested in the samepromotion by the check-

off. While that numbervaries from year to year— though always re-mains at a ratio stronglyin favor of the checkoffprogram — the foodser-vice sector of the indus-try clearly sees value inworking directly with cat-tle producers to deliveryour quality product toconsumers — and it’sputting its money whereits mouth is. The check-off also supports anaward-winning foodser-vice marketing cam-paign, known asBEEFlexible, which dish-es up new ideas for chefsand restaurant operatorslooking to offer creativebeef items that attractconsumer attention.

• Just having a goodproduct isn’t enough.You have to get thatproduct to consumerswhen, how, and in theform they both desireand understand. That’swhere the checkoff’s BeefMade Easy program andother training sessions,promotional materials,and partnerships havestepped in. They havehelped retailers improvetheir beef merchandisingstrategies to present agrowing number of beefitems to their meat andfreezer cases in a waythat is attractive andmeaningful to buyers.

• After developing aLong Range Plan for vealpromotion, the checkoff

has worked with majorrestaurant chains to getveal added to theirmenus, especially in thelast few years. Duringthe last 18 months, forexample, 14 restaurantchains have added vealto their menus, thanksto checkoff partnershipsand promotions.

Even this short listmakes it clear that cattleproducers and importerswho volunteer to makedecisions about how tospend their and yourcheckoff dollars are re-sourceful. So the nexttime someone asks you,‘What has the checkoffdone for me lately?’, youcan start with anoverview of its 25 yearsof PROMOTION accom-plishments.

The entire globe celebrates World Egg Day on thesecond Friday in October. This year’s celebration, onOct. 14, means countless countries pay homage toall the attributes of The incredible edible egg™ inactivities ranging from festivals to celebrity chefcook-offs to recipe promotions, egg hunts andbeyond.

And there is a lot to celebrate — 70 calories, vary-ing amounts of 13 essential vitamins and minerals,high-quality protein-at only 15¢ per serving!

America’s egg farmers also celebrate the eggscel-lent benefits of eggs all year long and help those inneed by donating eggs to food banks across thecountry throughout the year. Through the Good EggProject, America’s egg farmers donate more than 12million eggs a year to food banks.

Eggs’ high-quality protein, which contains all theessential amino acids, goes a long way in feeding thehungry. Studies suggest eating a protein rich meal,like that in eggs, helps keep you feeling full longer.Couple that with being versatile and convenient, thishigh quality protein source has food banks aroundthe world applauding farmers and The incredibleedible egg™ for their efforts to feed the hungry. Theversatility of eggs also helps translate mundanemeals into flavorful can’t-get-enough-of dishes forbreakfast, lunch or dinner.

Need another reason to celebrate World Egg Day?Recent studies by the USDA have determined thateggs are a good source of vitamin D, the sunshinevitamin, which bodies need to stay healthy. One eggprovides 10 percent of the Daily RecommendedValue (DRV) of vitamin D and 23 percent of the DRVof choline. Choline, another essential nutrientimportant for normal brain function, is found most-ly in the egg yolk. This is why it’s important to eatthe whole egg, yolk and all!

Kalamata olives, pitted and choppedHeat a 10” skillet with a quick release finish on

With an invert-ed spatula, bring some of egg mixture towards cen-ter as you tip the pan, allowing the liquid egg to fillthat space. Do this all around the pan until the eggmixture is no longer runny.

Fill the left portion of the omelet with cheese,spinach and olives. Fold unfilled portion over filledpart; let sit for 15 seconds; then flip out onto a plate.Serves 1

Answer to last week’s puzzle

by Sarah Gerow, Lewis County Dairy PrincessRecently I attended the 7th annual Cream Cheese

festival where we sold merchandise and watched thepublic milk Miss EZ Squeeze (The Cow). It is amazingthe amount of people that come out to support thecommunity. I didn’t realize how many things can bemade with cream cheese. Thanks to Kraft for invitingus and letting us participate in this huge event.

I will be attending the annual ADADC meeting Oct.13 at the Copenhagen fire hall. All farmers are wel-come. Hope to see you there! Learn how your checkoff dollars are being spent.

The Lewis County Princess program is made possi-ble through the support of American DairyAssociation and Dairy Council — the local planningand management organization funded by the dairyfarmer check off dollars.

Dairy Fact: It takes 10 pounds of milk to make 1pound of cheese.

rels averaged $1.7694,down 1.2 cents.

FC Stone dairy brokerDave Kurzawski wrote inhis September 26 InsiderOpening Bell that, “Aslong as domestic spotcheese prices stay in the$1.70 range with inter-national prices about adime higher, export de-mand isn’t likely tochange enough to lift do-mestic prices.”

The CME’s Daily DairyReport says USDA con-firmed the slowdown incheese usage this sum-mer, reporting that dis-appearance of Americancheese was down 1.9percent from 2010 inthe May-July period anddown 9.6 percent inJuly alone.

Growth in butter move-ment slowed as well, dueto a decline in exports.Overall butter disappear-ance was up 2.7 percentin May-July; domesticuse was up 4.1 percent,while exports were down8.7 percent, according toUSDA numbers.

The cash butter mar-ket closed September 30

at $1.76, down a pennyon the week, and 47 1/2-cents below a year agowhen it peaked for 2010at $2.2350. Only fourcars were sold this week.NASS butter averaged$1.8911, down 4.8 cents.

Cash Grade A nonfatdry milk held all week at$1.49, while the ExtraGrade remained at$1.58. NASS powderclosed at $1.5413, up ahalf-cent, and dry wheyaveraged 60.04 cents, upa penny.

In other milk pricenews, looking “back tothe futures” combinedwith the announcedClass III prices for Julyand August, the Federalorder Class III contract’saverage for the last halfof 2011 was at $19.75 onAugust 5, $19.42 on Au-gust 12, $19.18 on Au-gust 19, $19.36 on Au-gust 26, $19.63 on Sep-tember 2, $19.36 onSeptember 9, $19.49 onSeptember 16, $19.21on September 23, andwas close to $18.80 atour deadline on Septem-ber 29.

Milk productionacross the country issettling into fall trends,according to USDA’sweekly update. Weatherpatterns and tempera-tures are basically con-ducive to late seasonmilk output, althoughmilk volumes are declin-ing to the point that bal-ancing plants and sur-plus operations aregreatly reducing pro-cessing schedules.Schools are now back insession, thus the schoolbottling pipeline is fulland milk volumes areless stressed to maintaincapacities.

The fall harvest is wellunderway in many re-gions of the country forcorn silage, althoughmany corn and soybeanfields still need dryingtime before combining.In some northern areas,a killing frost recentlyoccurred which cameearlier than crops in theregion were ready for.Speculation is that thefrost will reduce yieldsand crop maturity willbe challenged.

Cream markets areunsettled as cream vol-umes build and buyersare hesitant to purchase.The sharp drops in daily

pricing and falling week-ly price averages of CMEbutter, are affecting thebasing points used formost cream sales. Creambuyers are negotiatingfor the lowest basingpoint.

Farm profitability de-clined in September, ac-cording to the USDA’slatest Ag Prices reportissued September 29.The September All-Milkprice was estimated at$20.90 per cwt., down$1.10 from the Augustrecord high.

In politics, NationalMilk CEO and presidentJerry Kozak reported ina September 26 telecon-ference that additionalsponsors in the Houseare signing on to itsFoundation for the Fu-ture (FFTF) dairy policy

reform proposal. TheDairy Security Act of2011 (HR 3062) was in-troduced by Reps. CollinPeterson (D-Minn.) andMike Simpson (R-Idaho).

Other sponsors includ-ed Democrats Jim Costa,California; Joe Courtney,Connecticut; Rick Larsen,Washington; KurtSchrader, Oregon; andPeter Welch, Vermont.Rep. Billy Long, Missouri,was the only Republicanto join Simpson.

Additional cosponsorsare being sought, accord-ing to Kozak, who addedthat the list of co-spon-sors represented biparti-san, regionally diversesupport for the bill, in-cluding representatives

from several major dairystates and he urged dairyfarmers to contact theirelected officials to en-courage their support.

Kozak said the Con-gressional budget Officehas scored the legislationand stated the measurewould reduce govern-ment expenditures by$167 billion over the nextfive years and $131 bil-lion over 10 years, basedon a 60 percent enroll-ment of U.S. milk inFFTF’s supply manage-ment program. The billhas been referred to theHouse Ag Committee.

The product will bedelivered Octoberthrough March andraised CWT’s 2011 cheeseexports to 72.3 millionpounds to 20 countries,the equivalent of 723 mil-lion pounds of milk.

Speaking of the CWT;Dairy Profit Weekly(DPW) reports that a lawfirm representing twoconsumers, a school andan animal advocacygroup, filed a lawsuitagainst several dairy or-ganizations, alleging thedairy groups used theCWT program to “fix”milk prices.

Hagens Berman, onbehalf of consumers, in-cluding CompassionOver Killing (COK) mem-bers, filed a class-actionlawsuit that variousdairy companies andtrade groups, includingNational Milk, Dairy

Farmers of America(DFA), Land O’Lakes,Inc. and Agri-Mark, Inc.formed CWT in order tofix the price of milk inthe U.S.

The lawsuit, filed inthe U.S. District Courtfor the Northern Districtof California on Septem-ber 26, 2011, allegesthat between 2003 and2010, more than500,000 cows wereslaughtered underCWT’s dairy herd retire-ment program.

Local, state andfederal officials are urg-ing those survivors to beaware of the signs ofemotional stress and toseek out help if they arefeeling overwhelmed.

Everyone who livesthrough a disaster is af-fected by it in some way.It is normal to feel anx-ious about your ownsafety and that of familyand friends. Profoundsadness, grief, and angerare normal reactions toan abnormal event, andacknowledging such feel-ings is a first step towardhealing. Everyone hasdifferent ways of coping,but remember that seek-ing or accepting helpfrom community coun-seling programs ishealthy and worthwhile.

The following signsmay indicate the needfor crisis counseling orstress management as-sistance:

• Difficulty communi-cating or sleeping.

• Depression, sadness orfeelings of hopelessness.

• Increased use ofdrugs and/or alcohol.

• Limited attentionspan, poor performanceat work or school.

• Headaches/stomachproblems, flu-like symp-toms, disorientation orconfusion.

• Reluctance to leavehome.

• Mood-swings, fre-quent bouts of crying.

• Overwhelming feelingsof guilt and self-doubt.

The following areways to ease disaster-related stress:

• Talk with someoneabout your feelings ofanger or sorrow.

• Seek help from pro-fessional counselors.

• Take steps to pro-mote your own physicaland emotional healing byhealthy eating, rest, ex-ercise, relaxation, andmeditation.

• Maintain as normal afamily or daily routine aspossible.

• Use existing sup-port groups of family,friends, and religiousinstitutions.

• Ensure you are readyfor future events by re-stocking your family dis-aster plan disaster sup-plies kits and updatingyour family disasterplan. Taking such posi-tive steps can be com-forting.

Children can be par-ticularly affected bydisaster-related emo-tional stress. Regard-less of your child’s age,remember to:

• Set an example ofcalm, even though youmay feel stressed. If youfeel unable to controlyour emotions, seek outhelp and support fromfamily or professionals.

• Keep routines as con-sistent as possible andanswer questions openlyand honestly at a level

children can understand.• Allow your children

to talk about the event.Listen to their concernsand questions. Helpthem label and cope withtheir feelings. Let themknow it is OK to feel an-gry or sad.

• Reassure your chil-dren that you love andwill care for them, espe-cially at bedtime.

• Provide a peacefulhousehold to the extentpossible under the cir-cumstances.

• Limit children’s expo-sure to adult discussionsand news reports aboutthe disaster.

• Provide opportunities

to talk and play, be cre-ative and physically active.

The beef checkoff’s nutrition com-munications program helps motivatehealth professionals to recommendbeef because they recognize that Amer-icans need to eat beef and can eat beefevery day to live strong and be strong.The program provides nutrition lead-ers with the reasons to believe in beef’scontribution to improving health sincenearly half of Americans say they aretrying to consume more protein, andmore than three-quarters of Americansreportedly change the types of foodand/or food components to improvethe healthfulness of their diet.

That’s why each fall, your beef check-off attends the American Dietetic Associ-ation’s (ADA) annual meeting — theworld’s largest meeting of food and nu-trition experts — where more than6,000 registered dietitians, nutrition sci-ence researchers, policy makers, health-

care providers and industry leaders ad-dress key issues affecting the health ofall Americans. This year’s annual Food& Nutrition Conference & Expo (FNCE)featured more than 100 research andeducational presentations, lectures, de-bates, panel discussions and culinarydemonstrations. More than 350 ex-hibitors, including your beef checkoff,showcased healthy foods and nutritioneducation materials.

“When I started doing beef promo-tion in 1994, I gave out beef samples ina grocery store, and consumers re-fused to take them because their doc-tors told them they can’t eat red meat.Now, I see the American Heart Associ-ation logo or seal on packages of leanbeef. That is a huge step in educatingnutritionists and dietitians,” saidJeanne Harland, a beef producer fromIllinois and vice chairman of the beef

checkoff’s Joint Nutrition and HealthCommittee. “That mindset is changedby attending shows like ADA and thework that our state and national part-ners do with influencers,” she added.“It’s all about education and showingthese nutrition leaders sound checkoffresearch to base their decisions on. It’sexciting to see actual results.”

This year, the beef checkoff alsosupported a session titled, “Interpret-ing Epidemiology: Another NewStudy… Now What Do I Say?” Sixty-four percent of consumers cite toomuch conflicting information aboutwhich foods are healthy as a road-block to healthful eating. Registereddietitians need to be able to interpretthe most current research for theirclients, organizations and the mediasuccinctly and clearly. This sessionprovided concrete examples of how toreview epidemiological research andcreate one or two sentences that putsthe research in perspective.

“Most of the questions we received

centered around how the lean cuts ofbeef fit into a weight-loss program,”said Bill Brandenberg, a beef produc-er from California who met with con-ference participants at the beef check-off booth. “As a cattle feeder from theImperial Valley, it was good for atten-dees to see a producer face sharingthe message about how beef is high inprotein, low in fat, and a low-calorieoption at mealtime. The younger gen-eration has a lot more concerns aboutthe safety of food and antibiotic use,but they were open-minded and askedgreat questions.”

In addition, the checkoff’s presenceat the trade show included recipedemonstrations and samples, a re-source CD, educational materials,“Beef Nutrition IQ and You” challengeand giveaways of the checkoff-fundedHealthy Beef Cookbook.

In a significant technological moveforward for agriculture, the NationalFFA Organization will stream its 2011National Convention in IndianapolisOct. 19-22 live online via the newlylaunched Alltech Ag Network oniHigh.com. The televised conventionwill be accessible real time via comput-ers, iPads and all iPhone, Android andBlackBerry mobile devices.

As FFA membership stands at morethan a half-million students through-out the U.S., Puerto Rico and the VirginIslands, iHigh.com expects this to betheir largest telecast ever. Yet the sig-nificance of the convention broadcastgoes beyond record-breaking metrics.

“Agriculture is taking the lead incommunications, moving high tech toengage the world in its story,” said Bil-ly Frey, general manager of the AlltechAg Network. “iHigh.com’s unique plat-form enables it to, for example, on a re-cent Friday night, broadcast morethan 170 high school football gamessimultaneously and live to mobile de-vices free of charge. This is a capabili-ty far beyond many major sports or-ganizations and applications. FFA isnow harnessing this power, broaden-ing its reach at a time when our grow-ing population is moving increasinglyfar away from the stories of the farmand the origins of their food.”

iHigh.com, the Global Youth Net-work, is designed to provide free fea-ture-rich Web services to schools, stu-dents and youth organizations, andenables live streaming of events, mo-bile broadcasting, unlimited photo up-loads and more. Using iHigh.com’sunique feature-rich Web and broad-

cast platform, high schools and organ-izations such as the National HighSchool Rodeo Association, U.S. PonyClub, USA Swimming, the Bass Feder-ation, BMX tracks, AAU and many oth-ers are able to share their events inreal time with a global audience thatcan access the streaming video on anycomputer or mobile device. Currently,iHigh receives 1.3 million unique visi-tors per month with a growth of 30percent just within the last 30 days.

“iHigh.com is a true supporter of FFAand exemplifies this by providing themeans to take our convention messageto tens of thousands of FFA membersthroughout the country and beyondwho aren’t able to attend the event,”said National FFA Organization CEODwight Armstrong. “This is a major op-portunity for FFA and we are extremelygrateful for iHigh.com’s expertise, re-sources and abilities to reach our mem-bership in a new and meaningful way.”

“I am so pleased that one of the pre-mier youth organizations in the UnitedStates, the FFA, has chosen to use theAlltech Ag Channel on iHigh.com toreach their audience in this ever-changing world of technology,” saidJim Host, CEO of iHigh.com.

EDEN — Extension Disaster Edu-cation Network

With the flood cleanup stage well un-derway some flood victims are findingdiscarding items, particularly thosewith sentimental value, can be diffi-cult. However, keeping certain itemssoaked by water may be unhealthy.

Some materials tend to absorb andkeep water more than others. As a gen-eral rule, materials that are wet andcannot be thoroughly cleaned anddried may have to be discarded be-cause they can remain a source of bac-teria and mold growth.

Homes with all porous items re-moved may begin to develop moldgrowth. This is especially the case forhomes that have been exposed to wa-ter and moisture for long periods.

People can experience health ef-fects when exposed to mold even if itis dead. Killing it by applying a bio-cide such as chlorine bleach doesnot minimize health risks, so itmust be removed.

Anyone spending more than a brieftime cleaning in a moldy environmentshould use a HEPA filter or N95 ratedmask; typically it will have two straps.

Using gloves is also highly recom-mended.

Porous materials should bethrown out or completely decontam-inated if they are moldy. Materialssuch as hard plastic, glass and met-al can be cleaned. Remove the moldfrom non-porous materials using asoap or detergent.

Disinfect structural members thathave been cleaned by applying a solu-tion of 1 cup chlorine bleach per 1 gal-lon water or follow manufacturer’s rec-ommendations.

The surface should be thoroughlywetted with the solution. Keep thesurface wet with the bleach solutionfor 10 to 15 minutes to kill the mold.

Allow the solution to dry naturally 6to 8 hours. The area must be wellventilated since bleach fumes maycause lung irritation. Never mixbleach and ammonia.

Non-bleach products called biocideswill also kill mold. These biocides haveEnvironmental Protection Agency(EPA) registration numbers on the bot-tle and instructions for the intendedapplication.

Be sure to follow local recommenda-tions from County, State and FEMAofficials.

Funding is still avail-able through New YorkState’s Storm Relief Ap-pliance Rebate Program,according to the NewYork State Energy Re-search and DevelopmentAuthority (NYSERDA). Inaddition, if the FEMA orinsurance award doesnot cover the entire costof the replacement of eli-gible appliances orequipment, residentscan apply for the NY-SERDA rebate, as longas the two payments to-gether do not exceed thecost of the replacement.

The rebate program isfor residents impactedby Hurricane Irene orTropical Storm Lee andincludes ENERGYSTAR® refrigerators,clothes washers, dehu-midifiers, furnaces, boil-ers, gas hot waterheaters, and heat pumpwater heaters as well ashigher efficiency clothesdryers with moisturesensors and electric hotwater heaters. As of 7:30a.m. on Sept. 26, rebateshave been allocated for808 refrigerators, 1,645clothes washers, 1,456clothes dryers, 1,307 de-humidifiers, 697 hot wa-ter heaters (gas, electricand heat pump), 441furnaces, 346 boilers.

The $8 million rebateprogram started on Mon-day, Sept. 19, and morethan $4.0 million is stillavailable. All rebates willbe awarded on a first-come, first-served basisfor completed applica-tions. Applications areavailable at www.NYSAp-plianceRebates.com orby calling 877-NY-SMART (877-697-6278).The rebate program willcontinue until fundingruns out.

The Storm Relief Appli-ance Rebate Programwas created to meet un-met financial needs forthe most critical appli-ances or equipmentdamaged during the re-cent storms. ENERGYSTAR or higher efficiencyappliances and equip-ment may cost more topurchase but will pro-vide energy savings forthe life of the appliance.

Residents statewidein affected areas are eli-gible and must affirmthat they have been im-pacted by HurricaneIrene or Tropical StormLee. For residents af-

fected by HurricaneIrene, rebates on pur-chases of approved ap-pliances and equipmentwill be retroactive toAug. 29, 2011, and forresidents affected byTropical Storm Lee, re-bates will be retroactiveto Sept. 9, 2011.

Purchases of appli-ances and equipment,with the exception of de-humidifiers, must be forreplacement purposesonly. Audits to verify in-

surance claims and/orFEMA assistance maybe conducted.

Funding for the StormRelief Appliance Rebateis provided from the U.S.Department of Energy’s(DOE) State Energy Pro-gram (SEP). The StateEnergy Program providesgrants to states and di-rects funding to StateEnergy Offices fromtechnology programs inDOE’s Office of EnergyEfficiency and Renew-

able Energy. States usegrants to address theirenergy priorities and toadopt emerging renew-able energy and energyefficiency technologies.SEP is distributing $3.1billion of funding to thestates and U.S. territo-ries under the 2009American Recovery andReinvestment Act.

Efficient cattlemenand women are a boonfor the environment.

“I am absolutely notanti-grass-fed beef. Thereis a place for every singlekind of system: grass-fed,grain-fed, local, organicand so on,” said JudeCapper, WashingtonState University animalscientist at the CertifiedAngus Beef LLC (CAB)Annual Conference.“What I am ‘anti’ is mis-marketing and the per-ceptions that are passedon to the consumer aboutwhat is and isn’t environ-mentally friendly.”

From farm publicationsand the Wall Street Jour-nal to Cosmopolitan andmainstream women’smagazines, there is aconstant stream of infor-mation about water, landand resource use. Beef isoften held under the mi-croscope, Capper told thecrowd of more than 500who gathered at the eventin Sunriver, OR.

“In every part of theworld we’re going to facethe issues of feeding morepeople on less land withfewer resources,” shesaid, citing estimates thatby 2050 worldwide popu-lation will increase by 50percent and we’ll need 70percent more food to sup-port that.

“On a global basis peo-ple are going to havegreater incomes,” Cappersaid. “As people havemore money they wantmore meat, more milk,more eggs.”

Today’s conversations

about sustainability arewell founded, she said,but some of the proposedsolutions are not.

Take “Meatless Mon-days” for example.

“Even if we all wentmeatless every Monday, ifwe only ate lentils andtofu and magically didn’tgive off any methane our-selves, it’s going to cutour national carbon foot-print by less than half apercent,” Capper said.

And then there are im-portant considerations,like where would animalbyproducts like leather,tallow and pharmaceuti-cals come from?

Instead, Capper sug-gested one proven methodfor reducing resource use:increase efficiency.

“If we can have our ani-mals on the planet for few-er days before they’re har-vested, in total we use lessenergy, less land and lesswater per unit of beef,”she said, pointing to ex-amples over the years.

In 1977 it took five an-imals to produce thesame pounds beef that ittakes four animals toproduce today.

“Beef yield over thattime has gone up fairlyconsistently,” she said,noting carcasses can’tkeep getting bigger be-cause of consumer ac-ceptance and processingchallenges. “What we cando is improve productivi-ty, improve growth rate.”

The efficiency gainsfrom 1977 to 2010amount to a 19-percent-age-point reduction in

feed use, a 12-point de-crease in water neededand a 33-point drop inland required per pound(lb.) of beef.

“That’s not becauseranchers and feedlot op-erators have implement-ed specific environmen-tal technologies,” Cappersaid. “It’s becausethey’ve been doing whatthey do best, to improveproductivity.”

Yet that story hasn’tcaught on.

“The consumer oftenhears that grass-fed mustbe best,” she said. Capperand her research teamanalyzed and comparedthe environmental impactof three beef productionsystems: conventional,natural and grass-fed.

Looking at convention-al, with its growth-en-hancing technologies like

implants andionophores, versus natu-ral production, cattle inthe latter system takemore days to finish.

“Animals that growfaster and weigh more cutthe environmental im-pact,” she said. That’smagnified when compar-ing conventional to grass-fed, as average days frombirth to harvest increaseby 226 and carcassweights drop by 185 lb.

“To convert to an en-tirely grass-fed system,we’d need to more thandouble the number of thecows in the U.S. todayjust to maintain beef sup-ply,” Capper said. Landuse would increase by131 million acres, equiva-lent to 75 percent of thearea of Texas, and wateruse would skyrocket by468 billion gallons.

Capper showed severalhighly publicized studiescontaining suspect as-sumptions about themodern beef industry.

“This is very dangerousbecause it’s put out thereas fact in an internation-al science magazine,” shesaid of one example. “Po-tentially, it turns con-sumers away from beef.”

Ranchers, stockers andfeeders need to keep get-ting better, and talkingabout it.

Reducing mortality andmorbidity is one step.

“It’s important to keephaving healthier ani-mals. They’re going togain better and growfaster,” she said.

Reproduction is another.“Only about 86 percent

of cows have a live calfevery year. If that was 90percent, 95 percent or 99

percent, that would makea huge improvement inproductivity,” Cappersaid. “If we improve ourland, better grasses, bet-ter feed, those animalsare going to grow faster.”

Good news is found ina recent study showing94 percent of worldwideconsumers either supportor are neutral toward theuse of technology in foodproduction.

“Most consumers justwant affordable, safe, nu-tritious food that tastesgood,” she said.

The National FamilyFarm Coalition and 56 al-lied organizations repre-senting family farmers,ranchers, fishermen andadvocates signed a letter[http://nffc.net/Press-room/Press%20Releas-es/2011/finalsignon.trade

ltr.Sept2011.pdf] to Con-gress condemning thepending free trade agree-ments (FTAs) with SouthKorea, Colombia andPanama. As the letterstates, more FTAs will onlyaccelerate the economicdisasters in agriculture:

industrial farms depend-ent on massive amounts ofpetroleum-based inputs,low-paying exploitativejobs in processing andpacking plants, and in-creased consolidationthroughout the agricultur-al supply chain.

Wisconsin farmer JoelGreeno, a participant inthe Aug. 16 White HouseRural Economic Forum inPeosta, Iowa, noted, “Theway to get the country’seconomy back on track isto strengthen rural com-munities, which means

ensuring farmers a fairprice, not exporting foodsto people they may notwant or that would destroytheir own markets.” TheEconomic Policy Insti-tute’s research revealedthat 700,000 U.S. jobshave been lost or dis-placed since 1994 as a re-sult of the trade deficitwith Mexico. Additionally,EPI estimates that freetrade agreements withColombia and South Ko-rea alone will likely in-crease the U.S. tradedeficit by $16.8 billion andeliminate or displace an-other 214,000 U.S. jobs.Such trade agreementsare an economic disasterthat will only deepen thecurrent recession.

When Mexico devaluedthe peso by 50 percent afterNAFTA’s implementation,the projected benefits forthousands of Mexican pro-ducers were eliminated.NFFC president Ben Bur-kett added, “Many Korean,Colombian and Panaman-ian producers will lose theirlivelihoods and land, so we’llhurt our allies, as well.”

Furthermore, the TaxInformation ExchangeAgreement between the

U.S. and Panama may notbe enough to curb Pana-ma’s position as one of theworld’s major tax havens.This FTA could deprivethe U.S. government ofmuch-needed revenueand saddle other sectorsof the economy, such asagriculture, with a dispro-portionate share of thecost-cutting burden.

The ability of local pro-ducers both here andabroad to feed their fami-lies and their communi-ties will be compromisedby these misguided tradeagreements. Potential la-bor abuses, trade deficitsand displaced jobs willfurther destabilize ruralcommunities and thefood system.

NFFC vice-presidentDena Hoff, summarized,“The seven principles offood sovereignty, includ-ing food as nutrition firstand a commodity second,should be the basis of ouragricultural system, notthe unbridled NAFTA-style commerce that de-stroys our communitiesand environment as gar-gantuan transnationalcorporations profit.”

The USDA on Sept. 30 announced$18 million in grants to beginningfarmers and ranchers at a press confer-ence held in Washington, D.C. USDADeputy Secretary Kathleen Merriganhighlighted these recent awards thatwere funded through the 2011 Begin-ning Farmer and Rancher DevelopmentProgram (BFRDP), a competitive grantsprogram administered by USDA’s Na-tional Institute of Food and Agriculture(NIFA). BFRDP was first authorized inthe 2008 Farm Bill, and over the pastthree years, has awarded over 100grants to organizations that providetraining and technical assistance to be-ginning farmers and ranchers.

Merrigan stressed the importance ofBFRDP in supporting our nation’s be-ginning farmers, and spoke about themajor challenges the country faces intransitioning our workforce to the nextgeneration of people who will work theland. Merrigan cited that the averageage of farmers in the U.S. is between57 and 59, and that the forthcomingcensus of agriculture being conductednext year, will likely show an increasefrom the 2007 Census.

“BFRDP is just the type of programwe need to help beginning farmerssucceed so they can create jobs andeconomic development in our ruralcommunities,” said Adam Warthe-sen, a policy organizer with the LandStewardship Project — a non-profitorganization based in Minnesota andan NSAC member group — addingthat the next slate of beginningfarmer and rancher policies and ini-

tiatives are in the works, with theBeginning Farmer and Rancher Op-portunity Act of 2011 set for intro-duction in Congress next month.

“As we’ve seen with BFRDP, the de-mand is strong and the need is therefor community based programs thatsupport the next generation of farm-ers,” said Warthesen.

2011 BFRDP AwardsFor Fiscal Year 2011, BFRDP proj-

ects were awarded in Arizona, Califor-nia, the District of Columbia, Georgia,Iowa, Louisiana, Maine, Mississippi,Montana, Nevada, New Jersey, NewHampshire, New York, North Carolina,Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Rhode Is-land, Texas, Vermont, the U.S. VirginIslands, Washington, Wisconsin andWyoming. Eight of the 36 grants an-nounced were awarded to NSAC mem-ber organizations, totaling $4.8 mil-lion, and representing over a quarter oftotal program funding for 2011 in-cludes:

Northeast Organic Farming Associa-tion of New Jersey (NJ) — There arecurrently no beginning farmer pro-grams in the Garden State, yet there isan ever-increasing demand for local,organic produce and an ample amountof preserved farmland. This programwill empower New Jersey's new smallscale farmers through technical train-ing courses, internship and appren-ticeship programs, an incubator farm,and the development of land leasesand contracts that can be used by be-ginning farmers to gain access to land.

Northeast Organic Farming Associa-

tion of New York (NY) — The “Cultivat-ing the Next Crop of Organic Farmers”project will support the next cadre ofbeginning farmers in every Northeaststate by strengthening the supportthey receive from seven regional organ-ic and sustainable farming organiza-tions. The project's goals include pro-viding a formal apprenticeship andmentoring program, as well as sharedlearning opportunities such as on-farm workshops, webinars, and con-ferences to build a strong and support-ive generation of new farmers.

Stone Barns Center for Food AndAgriculture (NY) — Stone Barns is aworking farm and education centerthat addresses the critical need totrain young farmers in the Northeast.This award will be used to grow andimprove their program that providesworkshops, conferences, apprentice-ships, on-line resources and mentor-ing services geared towards the needsof beginning farmers. The project willprovide intensive hands-on training formore than 1,200 farmers by 2014 toensure a better-equipped corps of re-gional farmers that will be able to sup-ply the region with healthful food.

2012 Request for ApplicationsEarlier this month, the National In-

stitute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA)also released the Request for Applica-tions (RFA) for the next round ofBFRDP funding for Fiscal Year 2012.Approximately $19 million will bemade available for projects next year.

This will be the last round of manda-tory funding for BFRDP authorized un-

der the 2008 Farm Bill, and the pro-gram will require reauthorization anda dedication of funding in the nextFarm Bill. NSAC will be pushing hardto reauthorize this program in thecoming Farm Bill, and will advocate forincreased mandatory funding in orderto meet the incredible demand for theprogram.

BFRDP grant projects address fivemajor priority areas that provide tech-nical and financial assistance to begin-ning farmers and ranchers, and in-clude:

• Production and managementstrategies to enhance land stewardshipby beginning farmers and ranchers;

• Business management and deci-sion support strategies that enhancethe financial viability of beginningfarmers and ranchers;

• Marketing strategies that enhancethe competitiveness of beginning farm-ers and ranchers;

• Legal strategies that assist begin-ning farmers with farm or land acqui-sition and transfer; and

• Other Priority Topics to enhancecompetitiveness and sustainability ofbeginning farmers and ranchers forthe next generation.

Additionally, grants may be awardedfor educational enhancement teamprojects that assemble a team of ex-perts to review beginning farmer andrancher curriculum and programs,identify gaps, and develop and dissem-inate recommendations and materialsto address these gaps.
