TEXAS REFINERY CORP.

CONSULTANT

I am Maddie Woodis, the 2015-2016 Chautauqua County Dairy Princess, from Dewittville, NY. This past February I participated in the New York State Dairy Princess Pageant and was selected to be in the top seven and placed fourth for my speech. During the two days of the pageant, I was surrounded by some of the best promoters of dairy farmers in the state.

My experience at the New York State Pageant was one that I will never forget. This year was an exciting year because all the princesses were very good at promoting dairy and have accomplished so much in their counties. We all had personal interviews and were asked questions about ourselves and our accomplishments. Next, we took a test where we had to write up an “ADADC update” to inform dairy farmers about the dairy promotion activities the American Dairy Association and Dairy Council has been working on in the past couple of months. The next day, we had to take another test where we answered multiple choice and short questions about dairy products and other facts that relate to the dairy industry. Lastly, we had to give speeches that were written for adult audiences. I did a PowerPoint presentation on the health benefits of and how to save money buying dairy products. Other speeches were about how dairy farmers are good stewards of the land and their environment.

Many awards were presented and many speeches given throughout the pageant. Eventually the top seven were announced and we all had to answer an impromptu question. The question was “What is the most important quality for one to have when promoting dairy and explain why”. My answer was “passion”, because you need someone who is willing to put forth the excitement and love to advocate for farmers.

Since the New York State Pageant I have been busy promoting agriculture and the dairy industry including

reading for Agriculture Literacy Week, along with Assemblyman Andy Goodell; and speaking at a few farmer meetings and school programs. I have some more school programs and dairy farmer meetings scheduled soon, and the court will be participating in the Color Dash run in Ripley where we will hand out chocolate milk.

I am sad to see my reign coming to an end, but have made many amazing memories and learned so much about myself and the dairy industry. We are getting ready to crown a new Dairy Princess for our county and our kickoff event will be a “Meet and Greet” on Saturday, May 21st at 1 pm. Our pageant will be held on Friday, June 10th at 6 pm at the United Methodist Church in Bemus Point. If you would like further details or know a young woman 16 years old or older who would like to be Chautauqua County Dairy Princess, or is interested in serving as a Dairy Ambassador, please contact Heather Gregory, chairperson of the Dairy Promotion Committee at (716) 697-8643 or [email protected].

Congratulations to Madison Woodis on all of your accomplishments at the recent New York State Dairy Princess Pageant – we are very proud of you and appreciate your efforts positively representing our Chautauqua County dairy industry! From the members of the Chautauqua County Dairy Promotion Committee and all of the farmers and agribusiness representatives involved in our local dairy industry.

Farmer Neighbor Dinner A Success

Local agricultural producers, agribusiness representatives, elected officials and non-farm neighbors enjoyed dinner and conversation at the 1st Annual Chautauqua County Farmer Neighbor Dinner held on April 5th, 2016 in Jamestown, NY. An estimated 150 people were in attendance, sharing their interest in local agriculture and food production.

Our guest speaker was Richard Ball, New York State Commissioner of Agriculture, who shared information on the recently approved state budget and the impacts on our local farms.

The highlight of the evening was to honor successful and innovative farm families on their accomplishments and contributions to our local communities, and to recognize an

Dinner continued on page 19...


A Silver Bullet? Proceed With Caution

A hot topic among a number of NY landowners recently are proposals that have appeared in mailboxes around the region. For some, this priority mail envelope appears to contain a silver bullet answer for some future income. As with all proposals, landowners need to research, or at least consider potential consequences to their property from undertaking such a project. Some thoughts from Cornell Cooperative Extension Educators who have seen a variety of such projects come and go:

Does the company making the proposal have to put money into an escrow account to guarantee their ability to remediate the property at the end of the lease?

Will the property still be eligible for agricultural assessment or will your assessor consider this a "conversion" and invoke the five year penalty fine?

If the company retains the right to reassign the lease on the involved property to another party, what happens with the contract if the landowner dies or sells the property?

If the lease is terminated, does 'remediation of the property' mean that all materials installed by the company will be removed or just the material above ground and in the top 30 inches of soil?

What will be the position of your town's zoning/planning and governing board regarding the project and use of your property?

And finally, is this the best use for precious farmland?

These are just a few of the questions which have occurred to us as we have been fielding calls from farmers and landowners looking for more information. Like the gas leases in the Marcellus shale area and wind turbines on farmland in WNY and NNY, there are precedents for contract issues. Take the time to ask questions, look for information and make an informed decision. The future of your farm may depend on it. Written by the CCE Capital Area Ag and Hort Program team.

Internship Opportunity Available for Summers 2016 & 2017 with Southern Tier West’s Farmers Market SNAP

Support Grant

SNAP Consumer Support Intern

Up to 10 internships are available through this program. Interns may serve summer 2016 and/or summer 2017.

An intern will be assigned to one farmers market located as close to the intern’s location of residence as possible. There are 10 SNAP farmers markets throughout Chautauqua, Cattaraugus, and Allegany Counties. Weekly market days and hours vary by market and each intern’s schedule will also vary accordingly. A list of regional farmers markets can be found at this link: www.freshlocalwny.org/html/farmers.html.

A SNAP Consumer Support Intern may be responsible for any of the following activities: Act as a SNAP consumer greeter at the market,

verbally interact with SNAP consumers in response to questions and other assistance as needed.

Assist SNAP consumers with the farmers market experience, explaining SNAP benefits, eligible products, use of the script system.

Design and execute several verbal and written surveys and provide analysis of results. Surveys would be for SNAP consumers, market vendors, local business community, etc. and could be designed in partnership with other interns assigned to other farmers markets within the region.

Conduct observational journaling at farmers markets, taking special notes on SNAP consumer traffic patterns, demographics, consumer interaction with vendors, and other interactions as determined by market managers and intern cohort. Intern should be able to construct written, well-formed statements and reports based on observational notes.

Design social media tools and communications schedule for farmers market to reach SNAP consumers. Be prepared to release regular social media postings to build SNAP consumer awareness of market activities. Social media protocols will be outlined by the market manager or STW.

Implement market activities that attract and educate SNAP consumers about the farmers market In partnership with other interns, research available entertainers, performers, artists, musicians, educators, and other activity oriented personnel/organizations that would be appropriate to appear at a farmers market as a SNAP consumer attraction.

The duration and total completed intern hours can be flexible to accommodate the student’s need to accrue academic credit. Duration of the internship will be a minimum of 14 weeks with no fewer than 5 hours per week attributed to the responsibilities plus training. A $1,000 stipend is provided for completion of one full seasonal internship.

Interested intern candidates should email a cover letter and resume to Susan Avery, Local Food Projects Specialist at [email protected].

Tillage and Soil Health By Robert Halbohm, Water Quality Technician

Chautauqua County Soil & Water Conservation District

For good reasons, there is currently plenty of discussion about soil health. Soil health, also referred to as soil quality, is defined as “the continued capacity of soil to function as a vital living ecosystem that sustains plants, animals, and humans.” The three main measures of a healthy soil are its biological, chemical, and physical properties, and the health of one component affects the others.

Tillage practices have a profound effect on the physical properties of soils. Inversion tillage, such as using a moldboard plow followed by one or more passes of a disk harrow, has been used for centuries to bury plant residues, incorporate manure and fertilizers, help with weed and insect control, and prepare the seed bed. While it has proven useful in some respects for those purposes, inversion tillage can also result in many negative outcomes in terms of soil health.

Inversion tillage buries the protective layer of plant residue that covers the soil surface, making the soil more vulnerable to wind and water erosion. The plants, fungi, beneficial insects, and microorganisms in the soil surface often form many complex interrelationships during the course of a growing season, and tillage disrupts many of the interactions that are taking place. Disrupting the soil surface with inversion tillage compacts the pores that

these organisms have established, decreasing water infiltration, promotes rapid organic matter decomposition (using up vital soil nutrients), and can result in a compacted, dense layer at plow depth (a “plow pan”) which impedes root and crop development.

There are two major alternatives to inversion tillage that can be used for crop production; reduced till and no-till. Reduced till, also known as mulch tillage or conservation tillage, is accomplished by full-width tillage operations such as chisel plowing, field cultivating, tandem disking, or vertical tillage. Reduced till generally does not invert as much soil as moldboard plowing, and leaves more protective plant

residue on the soil surface at time of planting.

Several new reduced tillage tools have been developed that perform all tillage operations in one pass, providing an additional benefit of reducing fuel consumption.

No-till involves an in-row soil tillage operation at planting combined with a seed row/furrow closing device. There is no full-width tillage performed from the time of harvest of one crop to the time of harvest of the next crop in the rotation. No-till can range from the use of “zone builders” which till a limited area adjacent to each row where the crop is to be

planted, to planting with a no-till planter that uses disks to open a slot for the seed, a shoe to drop seed in the slot, and packer wheels to pack soil over the seed all in one pass. No-till planting can be used for row crops or the establishment of seedings.

The full benefit of no-till farming methods is not reaped until the practice has been used on a field for many years, allowing the soil organisms to establish pores in the soil to promote root growth, break up old plow pans, and to have an effect on soil chemistry. Making the change from inversion tillage to reduced tillage or no-till can be a major shift in thinking, and it is only one part of what is needed to improve soil health.

Producers considering such a change may want to start with a small demonstration on a field or two to refine their technique before converting their entire operation. Technical help is available from the Chautauqua County Soil & Water Conservation District, the USDA-Natural Resources Conservation Service, Cornell Cooperative Extension, and Crop Advisors.

Hello 4-H Families and Volunteers,

Ask any 4-H’er what they’ve learned most during their time in our program and many of them will reply “responsibility.” That could be because it’s an easy one- word answer or because they heard their parents say it, but it’s true. 4-H’ers are responsible kids. A big part of being a responsible person is obeying deadlines. Although the 4-H office often accepts registrations, etc. after their deadline it creates a lot of extra work in the office and there is a greater risk of that paperwork being misplaced. Beginning June 1, 2016 the 4-H Office is going to take deadlines much more seriously. Please help us create responsible youth by setting an example and encouraging all to follow deadlines. Yours in 4-H,

2016 Meat Animal Sale Policy 1.The only animals sold at fair are raised by a 4-Her as their market animal project. The 4-Her must sell the highest ribbon animal in that species. If a 4-H’er has two animals of the same ribbon color they must choose and declare which animal of that species will sell at the draw for sale order. If a 4-H’er is not present at selection of sale order and has 2 animals of the same ribbon color the heaviest animal will sell with the exception of the hog project who will submit their final sale animal declaration to the 4-H Office by 5:00pm Tuesday July 26, 2016. All animals that go through the sale become the property of the buyer. No animals may be swapped.

2. Only one animal per species may be sold in the Meat Animal Sale unless the 4-H’er has both the grand and reserve champion in the same species-they both must sell in the Meat Animal Sale. Market Poultry will be sold as a pen of 2 birds. If the 4-H’er brings an animal to the fair as a project market animal, it must be sold provided it meets all the requirements of the program it is in. For 4-H’ers with more than one animal per species, see rule #6.

3. Commissions will be determined by Meat Animal Sale Committee to reflect market, economic and sale expenses. For year 2016, commission on all animals sold in the Meat Animal Sale is 6 percent.

4. Ribbons will be awarded in all market animal classes (beef, sheep, swine, poultry and goats) by the designated judge for each species. Ribbons will be awarded based on quality and proper finish at the time of the show. Blue - Excellent; Red - Good; White- Worthy; Green- Participant. Animals awarded participant ribbons in meat classes will not be sold in the Meat Animal Sale on Friday.

5.Youth are encouraged to be present for both their show and sale day. If a youth is not present for show day and/or sale day their animal will be sold at the conclusion of the entire sale and commission on that sale will be doubled with the extra commission money to be given to the Meat Animal Sale Committee to be used for future expenses, OR the youth may choose to sell their animal private treaty after the Meat Animal Sale is completed.

6. Market animals not sold in the Meat Animal Sale can be sold by private treaty at the conclusion of the Meat Animal Sale or taken home. ONLY 4-H Market Animals may be sold private treaty. For 2016 no Swine may be taken home. All swine must go to a slaughter facility by said facilities transportation arrangements. All animals sold private treaty, will incur a $10.00 charge, payable to Chautauqua County CCE. Payment must be received with the Private Treaty Form. One form per animal, $10.00 per form, no exceptions.

7.It is the responsibility of the seller and buyer of private treaty animals to arrange for transportation of the animal by Saturday, 10 AM at the 4-H Office.

8. Animals purchased through the Meat Animal Sale and donated back for resale will be sold at the end of that species. The original buyer must state that they donate the animal back for resale to benefit hog, horse, beef, endowment etc. The resale buyer’s money goes to where the original buyer designates.

10. All market animals are to be weighed in at their scheduled times, either the first Saturday or Sunday, for their qualifying weight. See species handbook for qualifying weights on each species.

11. All market animals that qualified for show weights on the first Saturday and Sunday, and showed in their respective species will be weighed again Thursday morning to determine sale weights. The animals will be sold at these weights regardless of gain or loss.

12. With all 4-H Animal Science Projects, there is an inherent risk involved. Cornell Cooperative Extension, its employees, and volunteers assume no responsibility for any loss or damage. Animals left on premises by the buyer after closing of the barn are done so at the sole risk of the buyer.

13. The possibility exists that health issues or other concerns may arise after the sale and before the slaughter of the animal. If this happens, the buyer(s) are at risk and will have the authority to make decisions regarding the treatment of the animal. The Meat Animal Sale Committee will make every effort to protect the well-being of animals sold trough the Meat Animal Sale Auction.

14. Once the gavel falls, the bidder becomes the owner, and the seller becomes the caregiver until the animal leaves the fairgrounds on Sunday following the sale. The buyer is responsible for the trucking of the animal from the fairground as based upon the directions on the sale receipt. The price per pound paid that is above the current market price is considered to be a charitable donation and is tax deductible. Any situation that does not meet above criteria (1-14) must be brought to the attention of Meat Animal Sale Committee, and will

be dealt with on a case-by- case basis and voted on by secret ballot. MEAT ANIMAL SALE PARTICIPANTS

If you plan to donate proceeds from the sale of your market animal-you must get a “Charitable Donation Form” from your adult barn superintendent at the Fair.

Choose firm stalks with buds that are tightly closed. Store stalks with a damp paper towel wrapped around the ends in the crisper section of your refrigerator. Eat asparagus soon after buying it as its flavor decreases each day that it’s stored.

To cook asparagus, wash it first under cool running water and snap off the woody ends. Steam, stir fry, boil, grill or roast asparagus. To roast, make a foil pouch around the asparagus and place on a baking sheet. Cook in a 400 degree oven for 10-15 minutes or until the asparagus is bright green.

In Season: Asparagus

Improve your child’s health by limiting the amount of food and drinks with added sugars you serve. If you don’t buy these foods and drinks, your kids won’t get them very often. Most added sugars come from soda, sports drinks, energy drinks, juice drinks, lemonade, sweetened iced tea, cakes, candy, cookies and ice cream. Serve small portions of foods and beverages with

added sugar. Choose water, low fat or fat free milk or small

amounts of 100% juice for beverages. Choose the ‘no candy’ checkout lane at the store. Reward kids with hugs, kind words and non-food items like stickers or pencils instead of candy or other sweets.

Sugary foods are marketed to kids as ‘fun’. Make healthy foods fun by involving your kids in preparing them.

Show kids where the Sugars line is on the Nutrition Facts label. In the grocery store, challenge your kids to find cereals with the lowest number of grams of sugars and buy those.

Limit sweets to special occasions and do not make them a part of everyday meals and snacks.

Make fruit the ‘everyday’ dessert.

With your child, visit your local public library and borrow

“First Peas to the Table” by Susan Grigsby. It tells the story

of a school that starts a school vegetable garden and who

has a First Peas from The Garden contest like Thomas

Jefferson did at his Monticello garden. Read the book with

your child and talk about growing vegetables. Try locally

grown peas or maybe peas you’ve grown in your own garden.

Cut Back on Your Kid’s Sweet Treats

Asparagus with Gremolata Sauce Ingredients: 2 pounds asparagus, washed and trimmed 2 Tablespoons margarine or butter 2 teaspoons grated lemon peel 1 large garlic clove minced 2 Tablespoons fresh lemon juice Directions: 1.Cook asparagus in a large pot of boiling water until tender, about 4 minutes.
