Stevermer Serves as a Delegate for Mexico Trade Mission Lori Stevermer, President of the Minnesota Pork Producers Association, was among 36 delegates representing Minnesota businesses, agricultural industry and education institutions that joined Governor Mark Dayton on a trade mission to Mexico City and Guadalajara on August 9, 2015. During their visit the delegation met with high-ranking Mexican business leaders and government

businesses and farmers throughout our state,” said Governor Dayton. Sales to Mexico accounted for 10 percent of Minnesota’s total exports in 2014, and exports to Mexico grew by 52 percent between 2013 and 2014 alone. In 2014, Minnesota sold just under $529 million worth of food to Mexico which is up more than 77 percent from the prior year. Export markets are critically important to the success of the pork industry as well,

In Guadalajara they toured a Guadalajara Software Center and a soy oil processing facility. A lunch with agriculture leaders from the Minnesota Department of Agriculture and other Mexican officials was held that Stevermer was able to attend. They discussed the importance of agriculture between Mexico and the United States how to get the younger generations involved. “The best part about the trip was getting to see the diversity of Mexico,” said Stevermer, “I was able to view many different areas and see the innovation that is often not talked about when it comes to Mexico.” It is important to continue to build trade relationships with Mexico. They are already an important partner and new opportunities will continue to develop. As U.S. companies invest in Mexico, it improves the economic conditions of their workforce and creates a growing middle class. “We know from past experiences with other countries that a growing middle class leads to a demand for higher quality protein like pork,” said Stevermer, “which provides a great opportunity for U.S. and Minnesota pig farmers.”

Workforce Conference Rescheduled FOR NOVEMBER 10TH

The Workforce Conference hosted by the Minnesota Pork Board has been rescheduled for November 10th at the Country Inn and Suites in Mankato. Cost: $20 for preregistration $30 at the door To register visit mnpork.com

9:00 a.m. Registration 9:30 a.m. Respecting and Appreciating Generational Differences in the Workplace Brenda Clark Hamilton  Radio Babies, Baby Boomers, Gen X’ers, Generation Y, We’ve all heard the terms, and chances are that your workplace contains a sampling of each of these generations working side by side.  This engaging, interactive program is designed to increase understanding of the different points of view that each generation brings to a workplace. Participants will leave armed with practical, take-home strategies for respecting generational differences and maximizing the benefits of working on, or leading, a multi-generational work team.

11:00 a.m. Lunch 11:30 a.m. The Common Swine Industry Audit: What’s All the hype about? Emily Erickson- Animal Well-being and Quality Assurance Manager, New Fashion Pork  Gary Thome- Auditor, Validus  Ron Homan – Farmer, Homan Hog Farms  Matt Schultz – Animal Welfare and Handling, Hormel Foods Corporation  Introduced in 2014, the Common Swine Industry Audit (CSIA) was developed with input from pork producers, animal scientists, veterinarians, packer representatives, and retail food service personnel. The goal of the CSIA is to serve as a single, common audit platform for the pork industry to use when assuring consumers of the care in animal well-being and food safety measures taken by farmers and pork processors. Hear from individuals who have experienced the CSIA first-hand on how to best prepare your farm and employees for an audit.

1:15 p.m. Creating a Culture of Satisfied Employees and Continuous Improvement Brenda Clark Hamilton In recent years, many organizations have experienced a disturbing trend, i.e., an inability to keep quality employees on board. High levels of employee turnover is costly in a multitude of ways, including the obvious costs of screening candidates and training new employees, and the less-obvious costs of decreased productivity and an inability to maintain—much less improve—quality of products and services. The focus of this engaging program is on practical strategies that organizations can implement to fight back against high rates of employee turnover.  We’ll start by identifying the critical role the leaders play in employee quality and retention, including key responsibilities that managers must fulfill in order to engage their employees.  We’ll then delve into several specific employee retention strategies, including practical tips and the how-to of incorporating each.

Maintaining Digestive Balance Shouldn’t Be

THIS HARD

Your sows have a lot to juggle before and after farrowing. ® Feeding Levucell SB helps support a balanced digestive system naturally, especially during times of stress. Levucell SB is a unique, naturally occurring active dry yeast that has shown to help support the natural microflora in the large and small intestine. This helps maintain optimal nutritional status, which can positively impact microbial balance in the gut. Contact your Lallemand Animal Nutrition representative and help your sows keep a balanced digestive system with Levucell SB.

State grants help fund

livestock improvements on the farm

$2 million available for on-farm projects ST. PAUL, Minn. – Minnesota Department of Agriculture Commissioner Dave Frederickson asks livestock producers to apply for a portion of $2 million in grants available for on-farm improvements. “Livestock Investment Grants help farmers stay competitive and reinvest in their industry. Last year, we had 120 livestock farmers receive grants to improve their operation,” said Frederickson. Crystal Enberg of Kenyon is building a new 1,200 head hog finishing barn and plans to build a second barn in the future. As a beginning farmer, this new facility eases her transition into the hog industry. John Scherber of Rogers is building a cross ventilated barn to increase cow and human comfort, including: incorporating energy efficient lighting, ventilation, and robotic milking. The new barn will boost air and environmental quality and opens the door for the next generation to join the farm. Mark Strom of McIntosh, is a fifth generation beginning farmer and plans to build two new barns and a corral with a cattle handling system. New barns will allow the cows to calve under cover for healthier calves.

She weans 28 pigs/sows/year and she can do the same for you. • Purebred Grandparent semen available for internal replacements • 24,000 high health gilts available/year to fill your needs of any size

Qualifying producers are reimbursed 10 percent of the first $500,000 of investment, with a minimum investment of $4,000. Qualifying expenditures include the purchase, construction or improvement of livestock buildings or facilities. Fencing, feeding and waste management equipment are also covered. Producers who suffered a loss due to natural disaster may also apply. The grant will not pay for livestock, land purchases, or debt refinancing. Past applicants who did not receive an award need to reapply for the 2016 program. These grants are incentives to start projects, which must begin after August 1, 2015. Applications for operations with farmers transitioning into livestock, beginning farmers, and those with a positive environmental impact receive priority. Details and guidelines of the grant are available at www.mda.state.mn.us/livestockinvestmentgrant. The application deadline is December 18, 2015.

Check for Manure Pit Foaming

and Preventing Flash Fires and Explosions

twitter.com/MinnesotaPork

Producers/barn managers need to check for the presence of foam in their manure pits at least weekly and to help remind them a group of extension and research personnel from the University of Minnesota, Iowa State University, and University of Illinois have come up with the following warning stickers in English and Spanish for posting inside pig barns that will be available from Pork Producers Associations in all three states.

Does your flooring have cracks, sagging, rebar exposed, etc.? Give us a call we can replace any flooring in your confinement barns for you. Fast, honest, and reliable. Call Terry Wachter

507-380-6275

Checking for foam in manure pit is especially important, whenever there is any interruption of normal activities such as agitating and pumping liquid manure in the pit, changing (turning) groups of pigs, running soaking nozzles or power washing, or any maintenance work like welding of equipment inside the barn. If foam is detected in the manure pit prior to any of the above activities, which will disrupt the foam and release methane, the following two precautions should be immediately followed: • Run exhaust fans in the barn to at least the mild weather or fall/spring ventilation rate. This will provide roughly 20 to 30 air exchanges per hour in the barn or for a grow-finish barn, 30 to 40 cfm/pig. Wall fans are preferable (in addition) to pit fans, since the airflow rates from pit fans are often compromised or reduced significantly from factors like high manure levels in the pit and duct transitions on pit fans.

• Eliminate all ignition sources inside the barn such as a pilot light or electrostatic spark on water and space heaters, sparking switches on lights and non-enclosed electric motors, welding or grinding during repair work, plus cigarettes, cigars, or pipes when foam is present. Since the presence of foam bubbles in nearly any quantity on top of the liquid manure in a deep pit will contain about 70% methane, any activity that disrupts the foam will release this stored methane (or natural) gas, which is extremely explosive when between 4 and 15% of the air by volume. If you are not sure if foam is present or if there is only a thin layer, error on the safe side and take the necessary precautions. As indicated above, the most important safeguard in preventing an explosion and/or a flash fire is to ventilate or exchange air in the barn so you dilute the concentration of methane gas in the air to a concentration below its explosive level.

Filling Finishing Barns Responsibly Dave Wright Wright Veterinary Services, PA Many independent finishers face the dilemma of filling their barns with PRRS-positive pigs vs. leaving the barns open until they can find a source of PRRS-negative or “safe” pigs to fill their finishing barns. If they fill with positive pigs, performance will probably suffer and the risk of infecting neighbors— particularly sow farms—goes up, but if they leave the barns empty for any length of time, that becomes very expensive as well. What is “responsible behavior” for farmers in this predicament? Here are some suggestions from the perspective of regional PRRS control:

regional coordinator can also send out an email request to help you find a negative or safe source of pigs for your finishing barns. 3. If you must fill with high-risk pigs, find out as much information as possible about the source pigs. Ask your veterinarian to talk to the source farm. Inform neighbors and your regional coordinator. If the source

farm is dealing with a 1-7-4 or related sequence of PRRS, please do not accept the pigs. 4. Vaccinate positive pigs prior to or on arrival. Studies have shown that vaccination can not only improve pig performance, but it can reduce the duration and amount of viral shedding, which will reduce the risk of infecting neighboring farms.

1. Know the status of all incoming pigs. Test each group or know the status of the source. 2. Find a negative source of pigs. If a negative source is not readily available, talk to neighboring sow farms to explain your predicament. The
