Why did you host a June Dairy Month event? Chris Heim The Heim family Lewiston, Minn. Winona County 330 cows When did you host your June Dairy Month event and what type of event was it? How many people attended? We hosted a dairy night on the farm on June 22 put on by the Winona Chamber of Commerce. About 1,300 people were served a meal, but we are guessing some people didn’t eat so the total number of people who attended the event was more than likely higher than that. The meal was pulled pork with baked beans, and chocolate and white milk. Why did you host? They asked us, and we thought it would be fun and educational. What is the process of preparing to host this event? We had a meeting once a month for a year before the event. The last month we had a meeting once a week. Right before the night on the farm, we got the farm looking nice and clean. It’s clean most of the time anyway, but there’s always something to pick up. We lled in the pot holes in the driveway and removed the cement blocks where the silos were. We did extra cleaning and washed the oor of the shop where the food was served. What was the highlight of the day? Just having all the people here. The hayrides were a big hit. It was great to see the day come together after all the work and effort from the people who planned it. Along with our family, the people from the chamber and a lot of volunteers helped make it happen. There were lots of volunteers who helped us that night. They parked cars, drove people in from their cars, cleaned tables after people ate and helped families carry their plates to the tables. The Lewiston FFA Chapter also had a petting zoo. People were able to walk into the parlor to see where we milk. We weren’t milking the cows while people were here (because it wasn’t milking time) but we had a TV with a video of milking playing in the shed where people ate. There was always a crowd of people around it watching. What was your favorite aspect of your dairy event? I liked that we were able to show people about the farm and educate them about where their milk comes from. Farming is a big part of Winona County, so it was good to show that to people. It was also fun to see all the vendors who came. There were three equipment dealers, one dairy equipment company and our nutritionist here to show people their part of farming. Tell us about your farm. I am the fourth generation here. The farm started in 1941. My wife, Amanda, and I farm together with my parents, Bruce and Jodi. We have 16 employees who help us get the chores done and milk our 330 cows three times a day. We milk at 3:30 a.m., 11 a.m. and 7:30 p.m. in a double-6 step-up parlor. About 240 of our cows are housed in a sand bedded freestall barn while the rest are in a compost barn. We farm 400 acres of corn and alfalfa. Turn to DAIRY MONTH | Page 13

March mailbox prices averaged 52 cents lower Wisconsin at $15.68, Minnesota $15.70, Iowa $15.31
Mailbox Milk Prices for Selected Reporting Areas in Federal Milk Orders and California - March 2016 Upper Midwest Order $15.79 Northwest States $14.56
By Ron Johnson
Minnesota $15.70
ron.j@dairystar.com
MINNEAPOLIS – Mailbox milk prices during March of 2016 were something of a repeat from the month before. In February and March, prices were lower in all reporting areas, according to the USDA’s Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS). Prices were lower an average of 52 cents per hundredweight from February, and down $1.64 from March of 2015. The average price this past March came in at $14.96. In Wisconsin, the March price was $15.68, off 35 cents from a month earlier. But a year earlier, the Badger State average stood at $17.46. In Minnesota, Gopher State farmers were paid an average of $15.70 for their March milk. That was down 22 cents from February, and down $1.62 from March of 2015. The change from February to March in Minnesota was the smallest decrease – just 22 cents. In Iowa, Hawkeye State dairy farmers received a mailbox average of $15.31. That was down 28 cents from February, and down $1.43 from a year earlier. Once again, the highest mailbox price went to farmers in the New England States – Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Vermont. There, it came in at
Wisconsin $15.68 Iowa $15.31
Ohio Illinios $15.18 $15.31 Indiana $14.61
Corn Belt States $14.25 So. Missouri $14.46
California $13.61
New England States Western $16.36 Pennsylvania $15.21 New York $15.08 Michigan $13.51 Eastern Pennsylvania $15.10
Appalachian States $15.17
New Mexico $13.48 Western Texas $14.27
Southeast States $14.72 Florida $15.68

The Mailbox Price for all Federal order areas combined was $14.96
$16.36, down 70 cents from February. Florida farmers were paid the second-highest price: $15.68. That Sunshine State average was down 81 cents from a month earlier. In the Appalachian States – Kentucky, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia – the March price slid 91 cents, to $15.17. In eastern Pennsylvania, the March average was $15.10 and in western Pennsylvania it was $15.21. Illinois claimed the next-highest average: $15.31, down from $15.88. Then came Ohio, at $15.18, down from
$15.56 a month earlier. In New York, Empire State farmers were paid an average of $15.08 for their March milk. That was down from $15.72 in February. Hoosier State farmers got $14.61 as a mailbox average in March. A month earlier, the Indiana average price was $15.13. One state north, Michigan producers were paid an average of $13.51 for their March milk. That was down from $14.17. Dairy producers in southern Missouri received $14.46 in March,
compared to $15.68 the month before. In the Southeast States – the March price averaged $14.72, down $1.03 from February. The Corn Belt States – Kansas, Nebraska and northern Missouri – averaged $14.25, down from $14.66. Dairy farmers in the Northwest States – Oregon and Washington – got an average of $14.56. That was down from $14.81 in February. Moving down to western Texas, the March mailbox price averaged $14.27, down 45 cents. The lowest price among the federal milk marketing orders once again was paid in the Land of Enchantment. Farmers in New Mexico received an average price of $13.48 in March, down from $13.96 the month before. California, not a part of the federal milk order system, saw a March average of $13.61. That was down from $13.99 in February. This past March, the U.S. average butterfat test was 3.80 percent, while the average protein test was 3.13 percent. Other solids in the milk averaged 5.75 percent. Mailbox prices are the actual, net amounts farmers see on the checks in their mailboxes. The AMS collects these prices through its federal milk order market administrator ofces. Mailbox prices include all payments farmers got for milk they sold. These prices also reect all deductions associated with marketing that milk. There’s no adjustment to 3.5 percent butterfat, so mailbox prices reect the actual test of the milk.
