Small town serenity, tranquility of Amelia, Neb.

Contact Chris Beutler at 402-380-8244 or [email protected]

By Chris Beutler Midwest Messenger Nestled in between the Sandhills to the west and the rich loamy soils to the east lies Amelia, Neb., population six Amelia is in Holt County, in the north central part of the state. The sign states it is unincorporated, meaning it doesn’t have any businesses or government offices, although this town has a post office or at least a zip code of 68711. Located southwest of O’Neill, this little community is considered “Hay Country.” Its rolling hills and endless meadows are marked by groves of cottonwoods and

windbreaks planted by homesteaders over 150 years ago. I’ve been through here a few times and often I slow down to just take in the scenery, and to manage the winding roads. The peaceful tranquility is refreshing to someone like me with a lot of windshield time. The serenity of nature, clear streams, and breathtaking views can take you back in time. Few places can do this like this region. Except for a few modern buildings and equipment, this area remains untouched, or touched as if it were by a gentle hand. The vast horizon makes the sunrise and

sunset endless. I’m certain as pioneers looked to settle, this pristine area had to be promising with its lush green and protective valleys. Cattle thrive here, and the wildlife is abundant. Corn does well, as do soybeans with the help of irrigation. Alfalfa and the native grasses feed off water prevalent only inches below the surface. Today, round bales are common, but looking near the trees and field corners one can find the large hay cages of an era when work was hard and the day was long. Amelia shows the architecture of simplicity and necessity of days gone by. Please turn to BEUTLER on Page 49

BEUTLER Continued from Page 47 Highway 95 carries a fresh surface connecting to Chambers to the east, where businesses like a grocery store, repair shops and a mini-mart remain prominent to locals as far away as 20 miles. It’s towns like these that give Nebraska its character. There are many towns in Nebraska with single or double digit population numbers and many of them remain unincorporated. Most on the eastern side of the state are annexed by neighboring towns and then see growth and change, while others to the west just continue. As this author guesses, many of those towns like it just the way it is. I live in the small town of Bancroft, and I am old enough to remember Saturday nights where stores stayed open until 9 pm. In the fall after harvest, the streets were full of shoppers getting staples and paying their bills from a summer of nonexistent income. Credit cards were recipe cards in which a pencil noted the account, and with a nod

and an exchange of “thank you” a binding contract was formed. These markers were then stored in a box next to a cash register that chimed when a sale was made. Sociology teaches us that humanity desires a crowd. We want to go to a busy shopping mall or a crowded restaurant. But to most of us in the rural area, we then want to go home, where the quiet is our solitude. Small towns are where everyone knows everybody, and the dust trail or the sound tells you who drove by. Tell us about your small town, we would love to hear more. Was it a coincidence that I potentially started a series on small towns with Amelia and the letter “A”? Yes, absolutely, I was driving by and I stopped and snapped the picture. Then the story took over in my head, wondering what was it like 20 or 50 or 100 years ago right here. So today with all the transition in politics, we watch TV and Google on our smart phones. It’s good to know what is going on in this world in which we live. And in small towns like these in Nebraska or Kansas or Oklahoma, it’s good to see what is happening ... and even nicer not to hear it!

Located southwest of O’Neill, the community of Amelia is considered “Hay Country.” (Chris Beutler/Midwest Messenger)

Biosecurity checklist safeguards farm profits By Jeff DeYoung Lee Agri-Media Mark Hover believes there is no such thing as a perfect biosecurity system, but he says the pursuit of perfection should lead to fewer disease issues. Hover is senior production manager for Reicks View Farms, a large farrow-to-finish operation in Northeast Iowa. He says the company leaves no stone uncovered when it comes to biosecurity in its multi-faceted operations, which also includes a nucleus sow farm, boar stud and feed mill. “With the PED issue a few years ago, knock on wood but we didn’t have it at any of our eight sow farms,” Hover says. “That’s a pretty big deal and showed what we are doing seems to be working.”

The company has its own trucks, and all are washed, disinfected and then heated at 160 degrees for 10 minutes after usage. “We have trucks that only go to the market place to sell hogs, and we have trucks that take pigs to the sow farm or nursery,” Hover says. “We are very aggressive when it comes to baking trucks. We have a couple of guys who check on it a couple of times a day, because we need to be able to verify what we’re doing.” Buildings on the eight sow farms are equipped with filters, a step Hover says is designed to keep airborne diseases out of the structures. “Every day we walk around the barn to make sure the fans are running and that every-

thing is how it should be,” he says. “We want to keep what’s outside out there and out of the building.” No detail is too small, Hover says. Employee lunch boxes are even cleaned with disinfectant wipes to make sure no bacteria finds its way into a building. “We do a lot of training with our employees. We are always talking about our biosecurity program,” he says. “It’s really the lifeline of our operation.” Sanitation is the key to a strong biosecurity program, says Lisa Becton, a veterinarian and director of swine health information and research for the National Pork Board. She says many diseases such as PRRS thrive in cold weather, but the weather also makes biosecurity chores more challenging.

“Washing anything outside is going to be more difficult as the temperature drops,” Becton says. “You need to have the ability to clean, disinfect and dry vehicles and trailers, especially after a high-risk shipment.” Overall farm sanitation is also important. That includes thoroughly cleaning chutes, walkways and other areas of the farm. Becton says pests will also try to work their way indoors as winter approaches. “You want to make sure there are no holes in the curtains, and if there are, make sure they’re closed,” she says. “Clean up around the buildings so you aren’t inviting rodents or anything else into the building. Also, check feed supplies to make sure it’s clean.” Employees need to make sure they follow the farm’s biosecurity protocol, as do vendors, veterinarians and other people coming to the farm. “Change the shoes and coveralls. Carry your lunch in a disposable plastic bag, or bring it in a cooler you can disinfect,” Becton says. “There are many, many ways bacteria can get into a building, so it’s important that you are very careful about what goes in a building.” Producers should have a plan in place when supplies arrive on the farm. Manure application also needs to be monitored, she says. “It’s very difficult because there are so many details involved with biosecurity,” Becton says. “We see the bigger concerns, but the smaller issues could cause a large problem. It’s really important to have some sort of checklist you can follow.” Hover says being able to control most of the movement on the farm helps with biosecurity. He says certain feed trucks deliver to the nucleus farm, which is off-site, as well as the sow buildings. Medications and other supplies are delivered once a month and are placed in the fumigation room after being removed from packaging. “We don’t allow any cardboard packaging into the buildings,” Hover says. Boars are also tested frequently. “Three times a week, we drive to Ames with samples for the (Veterinary Diagnostic) lab there,” he says. Hover says while the system seems to be working, he and other employees will remain vigilant when it comes to biosecurity. “We’re not perfect, and we try to learn every day,” he says. “We have the ability to react quickly when something comes up, and we can come up with a solution. “With a large operation like Reicks View Farms, there is a lot going on. But I think it’s important to keep it simple while covering all the details. That approach seems to be working well.”

Blach: Tools exist for cattle market watching By Barb Bierman Batie Midwest Messenger NORTH PLATTE, Neb. — From record high beef prices just two years ago to price drops of 40 to 60 percent since 2015, fast moving markets have left beef producers in a tailspin. Despite the summer’s price crash, Randy Blach of CattleFax left producers attending the 2016 State of Beef Conference in North Platte on Nov. 2-3 with a glimmer of hope that some stability will return to the market as 2017 approaches. In order to appreciate what’s occurring, Blach noted, “We have to look at what’s going on across all of the protein space. Poultry and pork were also vying for a share of the protein market and beef didn’t react quickly enough. The only thing that’s been a surprise is how quickly those markets have come back down. Blach noted that from the highs of fall 2014, fed cattle prices are $1,008 lower, 550pound steers are $869 lower, 750-pound steers $880 lower, retail $240 lower and cutouts are $657 lower. “All markets, commodity and protein, have come down 40 to 60 percent,” he said. “Egg prices were at all time highs just a year ago because of avian influenza. Today they are at 10-year lows. These markets are moving faster than we’ve ever seen.” A number of factors have impacted market stability, noted Blach. “There is protein to work through. Beef production is up on billion pounds year-to-date and it remains the highest priced protein of the ‘Big 3’ (beef, poultry and pork).” Beef cow numbers have rebounded significantly from the 2012 drought where in Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico and Arkansas the beef industry lost more than 1 million head. In 2016 the cowherd is up 1.02 million head and in 2017 estimates are the herd will be up 870,000 head, said Blach. “The in 2018 things will level off with an additional 200,000 head

and by 2019 estimates are the herd increase will be flat.” Another factor is loss of slaughter capacity from 30 million head in 2000, down to 23 million today, said Blach. “We have lost 100,000 head capacity Randy Blach on a weekly basis and it’s causing a problem. We lost leverage with the shuttering of up to seven major slaughter facilities the last few years. Part of the challenge for our industry going forward is we don’t see the harvest capacity increasing.” “Currentness is also a factor. Part of what we’ve had to do over the last several months is increase harvest levels to get more current and get those weights in line,” he said. So what are the signals that the market is heading toward some improvement? “We are finally seeing packers put weight limits on cattle,” said Blach. “We just got them too big.” Looking globally, he noted, “Australia is where we were two years ago. They have a smaller herd and are just starting to restock. We should be taking some market share away from them in the next few months because they have priced themselves out of world market. What does that provide? That provides some stability. “Exports to Japan and South Korea are up 12 percent and it’s looking like the average will be up 7 percent by the end of the year.” “From a grain market standpoint we have plenty of corn, beans and grain sorghum and I don’t see much of a change in that during next 12 months,” said Blach. “We are used to these cycles, but we have a few more years of this grain segment before we can begin to see our headlights instead of our taillights.”

Applications available for Pork Mentorship Program The Nebraska Pork Producers Association wants students to be a part of the 2017 Pork Mentorship Program. Students connected to agriculture and believe in the future of the pork industry are encouraged to apply. Scholarships worth $500 are available for college-age students who have an interest in the pork industry — they don’t have to be a pork producer! Applications are due Dec. 5. Students may apply by visiting the youth tab on www.nepork.org. The Pork Mentorship Program is directed under Kyla Habrock, NPPA youth education director. “The NPPA Pork Mentorship Program is more than just a scholarship. It’s a way for students to build their capacity as a

leader and professional in the swine and agriculture industries in Nebraska,” Habrock said. “The program provides students with an opportunity to identify future career goals and to evolve into strong agricultural advocates.” The Pork Mentorship Program was established in 1999. To date, over 125 students have completed the program and over $68,000 in scholarships have been awarded. Each year the students participate in activities that encourage personal growth, leadership development, community engagement and expand their knowledge of the pork industry. A $500 scholarship is awarded upon the completion of the year-long program.

Another positive is that the quality of cattle has never been better. Blach noted there has been a 20-point improvement in quality grades during the last decade. He cautioned cow/calf producers that until their feeding counterparts see some stability, they would continue to experience price struggles as well. “Feeder cattle supplies outside of feedlots are up 920,000 head. There are a lot of cattle in cow/calf producers hands yet, so there are a lot of cattle to move through the system,” said Blach. He suggested that watching some other indexes and values might help producers track

market signals. “Look at the Bloomberg Commodity Index. Right now the trend is starting to turn back higher and we are starting to see some stability in world markets,” said Blach. He pointed to hide and offal value as another market indicator, as 100 percent of that is exported. “The best proxy of what is going on in the global market is looking at those charts,” noted Blach. “This stuff is all connected. I want you to know what to look at and how to sort through all the noise. You may not like what it is telling you, but these are tools.”

Gene editing points toward new method of dehorning dairy cows By Janelle Atyeo Lee Agri-Media A Minnesota company is preparing to breed dairy cows without horns. Hornless cattle aren’t new. Some beef breeds, such as Angus, are naturally polled, or hornless. But breeding a polled dairy cow without losing more desirable traits such as better milk production is a challenge. St. Paul, Minn., company Acceligen used a new gene editing tool to sidestep those challenges. Researchers inserted the polled gene from Angus cattle into a Holstein genome. They’ve produced two polled bulls as a demonstration project at the University of California Davis. In the coming months, they will try to breed the trait into a second generation. Because the polled gene is dominant, researchers are expecting good results. Dehorning calves is a common practice at most dairy farms. The horns are removed to keep the animals from hurting each other and for the safety of the people who work around them. “A lot of people don’t understand why you have to dehorn an animal until they have been chased by one or horned by one,” said Tracey Erickson, dairy specialist for South Dakota State University Extension. Dairies use a couple of methods to dehorn calves. Some apply a caustic paste to the budding horns to keep them from growing. Some use a heated electronic tool to burn the cells that would grow into horns. Each method takes time for the dairy workers, and they can be painful for the animals, requiring a local anesthetic. “We know that’s an animal welfare issue

and consumers are concerned about it,” Acceligen chief scientific officer Tad Sonstegard said. He expressed hope that someday large food companies such as McDonald’s will be willing to pay farmers to genetically dehorn their cattle much like they’ve made a pledge to buy cage-free eggs. “They need to put their money where their mouth is,” he said. The gene editing technology is still in the emerging stages, and it probably will be five to 10 years before dairy producers can breed genetically dehorned cattle. The research project received grant funding from USDA. “This is a new technology in genetics and genomics,” said Lakshmi Matukumalli, national program leader for animal systems at USDA’s National Institute of Food and Agriculture in Washington, D.C. He likened advances in the gene editing process to editing a piece of writing using a computer. The tool that Acceligen uses is clean and precise when making changes, he said, unlike older technology that wasn’t as targeted and would leave traces — like eraser marks on a notebook page — that could be problematic. “The research has shown that we know what is the gene that is responsible for developing a horned or polled gene. Now we can manipulate the genome,” Matukumalli said. Animal welfare is one issue, but consumers today also are worried about the effects of genetically modified organisms (GMOs). GMOs involve taking a gene from one species and inserting it into another, Matukumalli said; genetic dehorning is different.

Dairy cows with horns can be a danger to other animals and to dairy workers. A company in Minnesota is using a new gene editing tool to develop dairy cows without horns. (Janelle Atyeo/Lee Agri-Media) “Polled is not foreign to cattle,” he said. “We’re just making one modification that exists in nature.” Genetic dehorning procedures would have to go through a biotechnology risk assessment program before hitting the market. The process examines whether the modification would create any production problems, animal health issues or food safety concerns.

Another Acceligen project with dairy cows is working to make the animals more heat tolerant. Changing the type of body hair the cows produce and helping them grow larger sweat glands could allow the animals’ body temperature to stay 1 degree to 2 degrees cooler in hot conditions. Sonstegard said such a change could play a role in moving dairy production further south to warmer climates.
