Happy June dairy month June Dairy Month starts in positive territory, pricewise, though well below a year ago. The Agriculture Department announced the May Federal order Class III benchmark milk price at $16.19 per hundredweight (cwt.), up 38 cents from April but $6.38 below May 2014, $1.56 above California’s comparable 4b cheese milk price, and equates to about $1.39 per gallon, up from $1.36 last month. The vemonth Class III price average stands at $15.84, down from $22.94 at this time a year ago and compares to $17.69 in 2013. Class III futures portend more climb to come. The June contract was trading late Friday morning at $16.68. July was at $16.88; August, $17.03; September, $17.20; October, $17.22; November, $17.28; and December, $17.15. That would put the year’s average at $16.55, down from $22.34 in 2014 and $17.99 in 2013. The May Class IV price is $13.91, up 40 cents from April but $8.74 below a year ago. The ve-month Class IV average stands at $13.65, down from $23.08 in 2014 and compares to $18.02 in 2013. California’s May Class 4b cheese milk price was announced by the California Department of Food and Agriculture at $14.63 per cwt., up 41 cents from April but $4.71 below May 2014, and $1.56 below the Federal order Class III price. The Class III has averaged $1.77 per cwt. above the California 4b price so far this year, down from an average of $2.01 a year ago. The ve month 4b average stands at $14.07, down from $20.94 a year ago and compares to $16.08 in 2013. The Class 4a butter-powder price reversed two months of decline and is at $13.91, up 55 cents from April but $8.66 below a year ago. The 4a average, at $13.45, is down from $22.89 a year ago and compares to $17.84 in 2013. There wasn’t much encouragement in this week’s Global Dairy Trade (GDT) auction which saw the weighted average for all products offered drop 4.3 percent, following a 2.2 percent decline in the May 19 event, and a 3.5 percent decline May 5. This is the sixth consecutive session of loss. All products offers were down, led by butter, down 10.0 percent, following a 3.2 percent decline in the last event. Anhydrous milkfat was next, down 7.4 percent, following a 4.8 percent decline last time. Buttermilk powder down 7.0 percent, following a 3.2 percent gain last time, lactose was down 6.9 percent, after a 0.9 percent gain last time. Rennet casein was off 4.4 percent, after inching 0.4 percent lower last time. Whole milk powder was down 3.1 percent, following a decline of 0.5 percent in the last event. Skim milk powder rounded out the declines, off 1.3 percent after a 3.6 percent decline last time. No cheese was offered this week. FC Stone reports the average GDT butter price Tuesday equated to about $1.1882 per pound U.S., down from $1.3205 per pound in the May 19 event ($1.1592/lb. on 80% butterfat, down from $1.2883/lb.). Contrast that to CME butter which was at $2.0050 on Monday but closed Friday at $1.90 per pound. GDT skim milk powder, at 89.92 cents per pound U.S., is down from 90.36 cents per pound, and the whole milk powder average at $1.0473 per pound U.S., compares to $1.0841in the last event. CME Grade A nonfat dry milk price closed Friday at 88 cents per pound. Regarding the absence of cheese this week, FC Stone dairy broker Dave Kurzawski says “The one thing that seems safe to say is that the Cheddar auction is not bullish. The question is: is it bearish or just quiet? I side with the latter.” He says “Reduced volume offerings during the slow milk production time are not unusual. I would think offers on Cheddar also light this time of year in part because of a push to make more mozzarella. Moreover, Cheddar demand is likely going towards European product due to price discounts there.” HighGround Dairy’s Eric Meyer warned in his latest New Zealand Dairy Report that “Too much milk is still a
concern across the globe and therefore difcult to justify dairy commodity prices rising in the coming months. Taking a long-term view, it is likely that global dairy consumption growth rates will exceed production over the next six months creating a more balanced market. Exactly how long it takes for markets to come back to equilibrium will depend on the extent of which stocks have built throughout the supply chain.” In other global trade news; National Milk Producers Federation (NMPF) President and CEO, Jim Mulhern took on the global “food ght” in his monthly editorial, stating that “NMPF, the U.S. Dairy Export Council, and the Consortium for Common Food Names have been sounding the alarm bells for several years about how the European Union and it’s mainly just a subset of food companies and countries within Europe want to restrict trade by monopolizing common foods names for their exclusive use.” He said he spent a week in May traveling to Brussels, Berlin and Dublin to “deliver the message to a variety of EU policymakers and dairy stakeholders that these efforts to bastardize the concept of geographic indicators are indeed a very bad thing. If pursued by the EU’s trade negotiators, this effort will doom the prospects for a U.S.EU Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership. This blatantly anti-competitive approach is something that America’s policymakers just won’t swallow. Another important message to make clear was that, from the U.S. perspective, some use of geographic indicators can be benecial…in moderation,” Mulhern wrote. “But the legitimate use of compound names is very different than restricting the use of common, generic names, including parmesan, feta, asiago and havarti, just four examples where the EU has been ghting hard to monopolize these names for some member states (even though feta and havarti do not refer to any city or region in the world, let alone a region of Europe). You can read Mulhern’s entire editorial at www.nmpf.org. Meanwhile; Cooperatives Working Together (CWT) accepted six requests for export assistance this week from Maryland & Virginia Milk Producers, Northwest Dairy Association (Darigold) and Upstate Niagara/O-ATKA who have contracts to sell 3.702 million pounds of Cheddar, and Monterey Jack cheese, and 110,231 pounds of butter to customers in Asia and the Middle East. The product has been contracted for delivery through November 2015 and put CWT’s 2015 cheese exports at 35.18 million pounds plus 26.59 million pounds of butter, and 20.1 million pounds of whole milk powder to twenty eight countries. The “global chickens may be coming home to roost.” The CME block Cheddar, after climbing to $1.77 per pound Tuesday, highest price since November 20, 2014, backed down, likely due to this week’s overall GDT downfall, and closed the rst Friday of June at $1.7150 per pound, still 2 cents higher than the previous week and the fth consecutive week of gain, but 33 1/2-cents shy of a year ago. The barrels closed at $1.6425, down 2 3/4-cents on the week, 32 1/2-cents below a year ago, and a higher than normal 7 1/4-cents below the blocks. Six cars of block traded hands on the week and 29 of barrel. The lagging NDPSR-surveyed U.S. average block price hit $1.6421, up 0.8 cent. The barrels averaged $1.6662 per pound, down 0.5 cent. Cash butter, after jumping 13 1/2 cents last week and hitting $2.0050 per pound, revered gears quickly on Tuesday and closed Friday at $1.90 per pound, down 10 1/2-cents on the week and 32 1/4-cents below a year ago. Only two cars traded hands on the week. NDPSR butter averaged $1.9110, down 5.6 cents. Butter has seen ups and downs of late but, where is the volatility coming from? The May 29 Dairy and Food Market Analyst says “It starts in the countryside. We’ve heard two distinct opinions emerge over the last several weeks. One camp believes the butter market is/ will-be oversupplied and is predicting a signicant price correction lower. The other side believes the market is

headed for déjà vu; a 2014-like butter price run higher. Notably, we have not heard anyone say that the spot butter price should stay at these levels.” Grade A nonfat dry milk saw slippage as well, closing at 88 cents per pound, down 2 3/4-cents on the week and 98 cents below a year ago. Eight cars traded hands this week at the CME. NDPSR powder averaged 94.06 cents per pound, down 0.8 cent, and dry whey averaged 43.49 cents per pound, down 0.5 cent. Dairy industry woes continue on the uid side of consumption. March 2015 packaged uid milk sales totaled 4.2 billion lbs., down 1.7 percent from March 2014, according to USDA’s Dairy Market News. March sales of conventional products totaled 4.0 billion pounds, down 1.8 percent from a year ago; organic products, at 211 million pounds, were down 0.8 percent. Organic represented about 5.0 percent of total sales for the month. Looking, January-March, total packaged uid milk sales, at 12.6 billion pounds, were down 2.2 percent from the same period a year earlier. Year-to-date sales of conventional products, at 12.0 billion pounds, were down 2.2 percent; organic products, at 619 million, were down 0.7 percent. Organic represented about 4.9 percent of total uid milk sales in the rst four months of 2015. USDA released February data as well, and reported that February uid sales totaled 3.96 billion pounds, down 2.0 percent from February 2014. Conventional uid products totaled 3.8 billion pounds, down 2.2 percent; organic products, at 199 million, were up 1.8 percent. Organic represented about 5.0 percent of total sales for February. The gures represent consumption of uid milk products in Federal milk order marketing areas and California, which account for approximately 92 percent of total uid milk sales in the U.S. One note of interest, Dairy Herd Management’s, Dave Natzke, points out that “through the rst quarter of 2015, whole milk seems to be coming back into favor: Both conventional and organic whole milk sales were up from a year ago.” You’ll recall that April 2015 milk production totaled 16.6 billion pounds, according to USDA’s preliminary data, up 1.7 percent compared to April 2014. USDA’s latest Dairy Products report issued Wednesday shows where the milk went. April butter production totaled 165 million pounds, up 0.3 percent from March but down 1.7 percent from April 2014. April was the fourth month in a row where output was below that of a year ago. American type cheese, at 389 million pounds, was down 0.3 percent from March but 2.3 percent above a year ago. Italian type cheese output totaled 428 million pounds, down 2.1 percent from March but 2.5 percent above a year ago. Total cheese production amounted to 979 million pounds in April, down 1.7 percent from March but 1.9 percent above a year ago. Nonfat dry milk output totaled 181 million pounds, up 0.8 percent from March and 13.1 percent above a year ago. The report also shows nonfat dry milk stocks at 248.6 million pounds, as of April 30, down 1.0 percent from March but 3.7 percent above those a year ago. HighGround Dairy’s Eric Meyer points out that, while the stocks are lower versus March, they’re still near all time highs. The 261 dairy producers who selected the highest coverage level of $8 per cwt. will receive a payment for the second coverage period of the new Margin Protection Program for dairy, according to the May 29 Daily Dairy Report (DDR). “Based on data recently released in USDA’s Agricultural Prices report, the margin for the MarchApril period was $7.50 per cwt.,” the DDR states. “This translates into a payment of nearly 49.5 cents per cwt. for the producers who selected the maximum protection level. This is about 2 cents higher than the premium cost for producers covering less than 4 million pounds of milk. On average, the 261 producers will pocket $1,847 minus a 7.3 percent federal sequestration deduction.”

PRECISION DAIRY CONFERENCE AND EXPO, June 24-25 Producer Showcase Speakers John Balbian, Ashwood Dairy, Amsterdam, N.Y. Sponsored by Medria John Balbian uses precision technology on his freestall dairy to monitor 200 cows. Currently, John uses Medria HeatPhone, FeedPhone, Vel’Phone and San’Phone, and a Förster-Technik automatic calf feeder. John feels that the technology is a good way for him to stay on top of things. In addition, day-to-day operations are much easier, and decisions are much more transparent and objective. Although they are still in the implementation phase of some of the technology, it has already brought about consistently better results. The technology is cost-neutral based on labor saving or reduced inputs. Chad Carlson, Carlson Dairy, LLP, Pennock, Minn. Sponsored by LOL Purina Carlson Dairy, LLP, a 1250-cow dairy farm near Willmar, MN (approximately 100 miles west of Minneapolis), is run by 3 Carlson families: Curtney and Louise Carlson with their two sons and wives, Chad and Kindra Carlson, and Carl and Kellie Carlson. They have been dairying in partnership as Carlson Dairy, LLP since 1999. Their milking herd is housed in a 10-row, cross-ventilated, sandbedded freestall facility, and their sand is continuously recycled through sand settling lanes. The Carlsons recently built a crossventilated automated calf feeder (Urban calf feeders). These feeders can provide a milk meal to four calves simultaneously. Nate Elzinga, Daybreak Dairy, Zeeland, Mich. Sponsored by Amilk Nate Elizinga and his wife along with their 4 children live and work on the farm he grew up on as a child. Nate graduated high school in 2004 and then attended Michigan State University completing the 2-year dairy program. After college he returned home and became a partner with his father (Dan Elzinga) and his brother (Paul Elzinga). Nate’s responsibilities include animal health, repro management, nutrition, genetics and employee management. Daybreak Dairy was started by Dan Elzinga in 1976 milking 60 cows in tie-stalls. In 1994 they expanded to 150 cows and moved to a parlor and free-stalls. Amilk equipment was installed in 2009 and last year they started using Amilk as their primary herd management software. Today Daybreak Dairy is milking 220 registered Holsteins and raising all their replacements. Some of their herd stats include 31,000 lb RHA, 20-month age at rst calving, 25-30 pregnancy rate, and 40-60 fresh cows marketed annually for dairy. They use AFarm herd management software, milk meters, and a combination of AAct and AAct II heat detection system. Turn to SPEAKERS | Page 23
Craig Finke, Nashville, Ill. Sponsored by AMS-Galaxy-USA Craig Finke is a producer from Nashville, Illinois. His dairy farm features a 5-row free ow barn with dry cow and heifer rows, GreenStalls (dividers), 133-stalls for milk cows, and 45 stalls for dry cows. They also use the Galaxy Astrea 20.20 Robotic Milking system with one robot arm and two milking boxes; a Trioliet TMR robot feeder; a ush
system with sand-bedding; three 24 Big Ass Fans, two grooming brushes, and thermostat sensor-controlled sidewall curtains. Brian Houin, Homestead Dairy, Plymouth, Ind. Sponsored by Amilk Ltd. Brian Houin was born and raised on the dairy farm in north central Indiana. He attended Purdue University for 3 years to study Turn to SPEAKERS | Page 23

SILO & BUNKER REPLASTERING Silo Replastering is a very specialized business that we excel in, due to experience, the best equipment and mixture for cement. Shawn Winscher had Osakis Silo put a roof on their 20x60 in 2013, replaster a 16x60 silo in 2014 and have plans to replaster a 20x60 silo this year. “I won’t have anybody else do my work,” said Winscher, who milks 105 cows near Little Rock, Minn. “He’s very prompt, he’s good at what he does and he stands b e h i n d Silo it. I like the whole Replastering crew.”
Bunker Replasterin g
Darrin Uttecht, who runs a herd of 280 beef cows near Woonsocket, S.D., used Osakis Silo to replaster a bunker.
“Our bunker silo is more than 30 years old. Over the years, cement had flaked off its walls to the point where the rebar became exposed. We didn’t think much of it until we lost a couple of cows to hardware. We called Osakis Silo and they were able to seal and replaster the walls in one afternoon. The crew from Osakis Silo worked quickly and efficiently and did a wonderful job. There are no cracks in the new plaster and the rebar is now all covered up. They also patched the seam between the walls and the floor, where rats would get in. We haven’t seen any rat burrows in our silage since. “We were able to replaster our old bunker silo for a fraction of the price of a new one. It was well worth the expense. We are very happy with the service we received from Osakis Silo.”
Glen and Mike Ritter, who milk 70 cows near Avon, Minn., rely on Osakis Silo for replastering and unloader maintenance. They had an 18x50 and 20x60 silo replastered last year and when they had an unloader problem, were impressed with the timeliness and work of Osakis Silo. “They got out quick and got it fixed,” Glen said. They were equally efficient with the replastering they did for the two brothers. “We had rocks showing in the cement and when it was finished, it was trolled smooth,” Glen said. “They were in and out and there was no mess.”

“They throw really well. They are fast and they take a lot of feed out fast,” Woitalla said. “When they said they were going to be there they were there. He (Brian) gave me a quote and he stuck with it.” Russ Woitalla milks 50 cows and had Osakis Silo put in a Rebuilt Hanson® unloader in his 16x60 silo on his dairy near Lastrup, Minn.

Technology will drive dairy industry progress
Technology and increased access to data are enabling dairy farmers to make smarter day-to-day decisions to improve cow health, production and on-farm efciencies. Precision dairy farming is the general name given to this technology that measures and analyzes physiological, behavioral and production indicators in individual animals. Here are some examples of precision dairy in action: • Automated calf feeders provide nutrition for calves several times a day, adjusting for calves' age and By J.W. Schroeder the enabling the calf to NDSU Extension eat anytime. With a computer's help, the farmer receives up-to-the-minute reports about each calf. Automated feeders can help calves grow faster and stay healthier because of precise diet delivery, which means the farmers can spend more time observing and tending to the calves' other needs. • Milk yield recording systems provide individual animal data, including the amount of milk produced at each milking, trends in daily milk production and milk components such as protein. Using this early detection information, dairy farmers can spot changes in animal routine that may be related to their health or changes in feed intake, giving caretakers an opportunity to detect issues that otherwise might not be apparent. • Automated milking systems reduce the labor required to milk cows. The cows decide when they want to be milked and move freely around the barn without human intervention. Computer-controlled equipment identies the cow, sanitizes the udder, gently collects the milk and releases the cow when she is done milking. • Activity monitors, such as rumination collars, detect abnormal activity changes, which are early warning signs of illness or infection. This allows for quicker treatment. Monitoring activity through devices such as pedometers helps track cow activity and can help detect when a cow is ready for breeding or going into labor, so the farmer can provide timely assistance. • Computer, tablet and phone apps and programs allow for much greater collection of data that farmers need to make decisions. Precision dairy farming benets animals, dairy farmers, consumers and the environment. The benets to animals include: • Reduced health issues through

Dale Niehaus recently had Osakis Silo build two silos for his 105-cow dairy near Osakis, Minn. In 2008, Niehaus built a 20x90 silo from (2) 20x70 silos that Osakis Silo took down. In 2013, Niehaus had Osakis Silo construct a new 20x85 silo with used hardware. Niehaus used to use ag bags but went back to a silo for several reasons. “We had too many waste issues, either with mudding in and out with the skidloaders or dealing with the plastic. Trying to find the room where you can easily get to them (ag bags) in the spring or fall was a problem. With the silo, it’s 100 percent feed, no waste,” Niehaus said.
constant monitoring of body temperatures, rumination patterns and activity levels • More focused feeding plans that provide animals with the precise amount of nutrients they need for growth or production • Efcient monitoring of milk yield, milk components and body measurements • Increased comfort through adjustments in housing, handling, nutrition or activity Every farm has a common goal of becoming more sustainable. For dairy farmers, precision dairy farming provides the following benets: • Timelier, more informed decisions resulting in improved cow care and farm efciencies • Automated and individualized record keeping of cow milk production, feed intake and activity allows attention to a cow's distinct nutritional needs and well-being • Potential labor savings from needing fewer employees • Increased quality of life for farmers, thanks to improved efciency of farm practices Consumers benet from added precision in dairy farming, which should increase their condence that milk is the safest and of the highest quality. Why? Precision dairy farming enhances farmers' ability to provide better cow comfort, improves animal wellbeing and promotes less antibiotic use. As new innovations become affordable, dairy farmers are adopting technologies that will help them meet global consumer needs and their goal of feeding the world's growing population. The environment benets because technological advances provide tools to improve on-farm production efciencies, thereby reducing inputs such as energy. Precision dairy farming technologies also improve feed and animal management, providing greater potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions while increasing milk yields and improving nutrient use efciency. However, farmers have many considerations before adopting and implementing precision dairy technologies. Farmers must consider their unique objectives as well as family needs. The addition of precision dairy techniques does not replace good management systems, but rather, it enhances them. Precision dairy farming offers new ways of monitoring and improving animal health, well-being and reproduction. In the same way that mechanization and expansion have improved productivity in the past 20 years, precision technologies will drive dairy industry progress in the future.

WHICH BARN IS BEST FOR YOUR HERD?
Birds just love this barn. The webs in these trusses are easy nest areas for birds. They also restrict air flow which leads to poor ventilation and moisture buildup in the building.
Starwood Rafters Uses Pole Sheds • Free Stalls Riding Arenas Pavilion Shelters Machinery Storage
The arched rafters create a more open barn allowing better ventilation. Also since there are no open webs in the trusses, there are no places for birds to nest.
• Spans up to 72 ft. • Up to 12’ spacing depending on the load you desire • Bird nesting control • Better ventilation & visability • No feed alley post obstruction • Additional ceiling height

We finished first crop hay May 21. We chop all our haylage and put it in bags. We got done before it started raining. The second crop is 14 inches tall and looks really good. We’ve had about 6 inches of rain the last couple weeks but there is no water showing. The JOHN wheat fields are just beautiful ROSENHAMMER and the corn looks like it doubled Sleepy Eye, MN in size the last two days. A lot of (Brown Co.) people around here grow peas for 180 cows the local canning factory and they 580 acres are blooming out and look great.
We harvested barley a week ago and it was a good crop. We are now planting corn into the barley ground; it was too wet until now. We’ve had 2.5 inches of rain in the last week. About three weeks ago we were hit with hail. It was pea to marble size and the ground was white. You could shovel the hail. It CORWIN did a lot of damage. The swat was two VAN VELDHUIZEN miles wide by about 10 miles and hit Rock Rapids, IA all our land except one soybean field. (Lyon Co.) It took one-quarter to one-third of the 250 cows first crop alfalfa. Despite the hail, the 450 acres crops look pretty good.

We had first crop hay done before Memorial Day and will start cutting second crop on Monday (June 15). Everybody will do second crop hay this week. The hay is full and green. We haven’t tested any first crop hay because we had a month left on last year’s baleage. We do 100 percent JIM baleage on first crop. We’ve had 2 to 2.5 inches of rain the last three BARTHOLOME Goodhue, MN weeks. We are perfect with moisture (Wabasha Co.) right now. The corn is 6 to 8 inches 280 cows tall and the soybeans look really 340 acres nice.
We made hay last week (the first week of June) and got an excellent crop. It was an above average crop getting between two and three tonnage. We have excellent moisture yet. Prior to making hay we had 2.5 inches and had another 0.5 inch over the weekend. I’ve moved some cattle and brought the springers home. Everyone is working STEVE TURNIS on spraying corn. It’s warming up now, Monticello, IA which will make things take off in a (Delaware Co.) 200 cows hurry. Everything is looking excellent 1,300 acres so far with the highs in the 80s for today (June 10).

ADAM LEITHEISER Emery, SD (McCook Co.) 60 cows 1,700 acres
We picked up an inch of rain on Sunday (June 7) and have had an inch of rain or more the past three weeks. We round baled it all because it got rained on. We’ve been receiving timely rains. I was driving home from Sioux Falls S.D., and it was 98 degrees. It wasn’t the best first crop of alfalfa because of dry conditions, and then the cold. Our harvest was more like a third crop. We finished first crop last night (June 8). There are a few guys with first crop hay to bale. We are side-dressing corn and knifing in fertilizer right now. The corn is starting to grow now.
ERIC HILLAN Ladysmith, WI (Rusk Co.) 300 cows 1,400 acres
We’ve been getting about an inch of rain every four days. The fields are soft so you have to cut around the wet holes. We have about three-quarters of our first crop of alfalfa done. We started May 22 and are still out in the fields chopping. We just have two fields yet to cut. The yields have been about half the normal yield because of the winterkill. We had to replant 60 acres of corn because it was too wet. The soybeans are just coming out and the corn is about 5 inches tall.
WEST CENTRAL WISCONSIN
STEVE JAHNKE Alma Center, WI (Jackson Co.) 55 cows 250 acres
We have 220 acres of alfalfa done and 80 acres yet to cut. We chopped a lot of it, but recently had about 30 acres get rained on. We baled today (June 9) and will bale again tomorrow. Some people are done, but some are in a similar position that we are. We’ve had 3 inches of rain in the last two weeks. But even though we’ve had a lot of rain it dries out right away. The corn is 7 inches tall and we are waiting for the sprayer to come and get rid of the weeds.
WEST CENTRAL WISCONSIN We finished filling the 18- by 60-foot silo with haylage today. We have 20 acres that hopefully can be cut down Friday (June 12) or Saturday (June 13) that I will put up for heifer and dry cow hay. We started cutting hay last Tuesday (June 2) and that hay was all in the bud stage. Yesterday (June 8), 25 percent was in the bloom stage. We yielded between 5 to 6 tons per acre. Some neighbors finished soybeans last week. The guys that planted corn at the end of April have it standing 6 to 8 inches tall. We’ve had 6.5 inches of rain the last three weeks.
LOREN OLDENBURG Viroqua, WI (Vernon Co.) 50 cows 245 acres

JEREMY NYHUS Blanchardville, WI (Green Co.) 66 cows 375 acres
We’ll be finishing up first crop today (June 10). We started last Tuesday (June 2). We filled three bags and round baled the rest, some for wet wrap and some for dry hay. Most people in the area either chop it or round bale it. The corn is looking really good and stands between 6 to 8 inches. The soybeans look good as well. We did get a little rain on Sunday (June 7) morning, but we were chopping Sunday afternoon. We are pretty dry right now. We had rain almost every day over a week ago but the wind dried it up. The small grain looks really good.

Judge orders power company to x defective power lines to Norman farm
In ongoing litigation with Cass County dairy farmers Randy and Peggy Norman, Crow Wing Power has been ordered to x the defective power lines serving the farm. In an order led on May 1, 2015, Judge Jana Austad ordered Crow Wing Power to install new three-phase overhead power lines to the Norman dairy farm in rural Pine River, Minn. The Normans were required to sell all of their milking herd in September 2012 because of ongoing stray voltage. According to Randy Norman: "We can't buy more cows until Crow Wing Power xes the stray voltage problem. We've been trying to get this xed since 2011 and the utility has fought us, even though I agreed to pay for it at that time." A jury ruled in October 2014 that Crow Wing Power was negligent and had created a nuisance because of the defective power lines. The Normans were awarded $6.3 million in damages. Judge Austad denied a motion for a new trial in January 2015. The recent ruling requires them to x the defective lines so that the Normans can return to dairy farming. Jeremy Stevens, one of the attorneys representing the Normans, says that Crow Wing Power, in spite of the jury verdict and order, continues to deny responsibility and has refused to x the lines or pay any part of the verdict. Crow Wing Power appealed the jury verdict to the Minnesota Court of Appeals, but that was dismissed and it is uncertain if a new appeal will be led.

Depth of soybean seed plays a major factor in whether seedlings are able to emerge. In most cases, Farmers aim to plant soybeans between 1 and 1 ½ inches deep. In a university study, researchers showed that as depth varied from optimum soybean plant emergence rate dropped by as much as 70%. Source: Iowa State University, North Dakota State University As the depth of planting increases, the emergence rate of plants falls off considerable. Only White Planters has a patented calibration system for setting and quickly verifying that you’re planting at a precise depth. The Art and Science of Planting Performance.

Nothing screams summer like homemade ice cream. The sound of ice and salt water sloshes around a container lled with liquid gold. Kids clamor for their turn to crank as a contest evolves of who has the strongest muscles. The clank of the paddle in a metal pan signaling the work is over and dessert ready. Michael wrote a senior English paper about making ice cream that I want to share. “The shape of the contraption was mostly like a bucket with a bright stainless steel cylinder tube in the middle. It is supported by a frame that stretches across the top of the bucket. A crank with a sprocket settled on top of the cylinder to turn the wooden paddle inside the cylinder. This seems easy enough to use. I grab the now cooled mixture from the fridge, stir it up to mix the batter, pour some vanilla in to give it some avor and open up the top of the silver container to pour it into. The batter lled it almost to the top. I

My arm starts to ache about fteen minutes into that process, but I was on my way to making the best homemade ice cream. The handle becomes harder and harder to turn as the mixture is slowly turning into a thicker substance with more of a creamy texture to it.
