Podcasts about dairy month

Stacy and Eric discuss various monthlong holidays like Men's Health Month, and Dairy Month: the good news is Eric has finally gone to the doctor/dentist, the bad news is dairy is the nemesis he chooses to ignore unless it's a documentary about Cheddar Man. Talk of Garfield puts Eric in a white-hot rage and leads him to confuse the show Whitechapel with a bodice ripper. They finally talk about conspiracy theories; what are they, ones of note, who perpetuates them, and which ones where proven true. Did you know about New Coke, liquor being poisoned by manufacturers during prohibition, and the E.T. game by Atari buried in a New Mexico landfill?

Cheese and ice cream anyone?

Thursday, June 23, 2022 - Special contributor Brandi Malarkey continues her series on American Rescue Plan Grant recipients with a tour of the Nome Schoolhouse. ~~~ Sue Balcom's topic this week on Main Street Eats is “Dairy Month.”

This week, we talk with Katie Dotterer about her experiences as a dairy farmer and as an advocate for the industry. 

We talk crop updates, a Senate Ag Committee Field hearing, Farmers' Market Week, the announcement of District Farm Families and more.

A 2021 survey of food consumers by Kerry indicated that https://explore.kerry.com/sustainability-whitepaper-2021 (62% of North American consumers) sustainability as a strong influence when making food and beverage purchases, and say it's a greater priority when selecting dairy, meat, or alternative protein products. At the same time, consumer interest in plant-based products is growing – but is it more sustainable? Important to our discussion, the https://www.noaa.gov/news-release/increase-in-atmospheric-methane-set-another-record-during-2021 (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) recently reported) that “global emissions of methane surged by a record amount in 2021: 17 parts per billion, the largest amount recorded since systematic measurements began in 1983. Methane is 84 times more potent than carbon but breaks down faster. https://www.cnbc.com/2022/04/07/methane-emissions-surged-by-a-record-amount-in-2021-noaa-says-.html ((CNBC).) Critics are often quick to point the finger at agriculture, but may not know that cattle are actually part of the solution.  This increased awareness and interest from consumers and the reality of our ever-changing environment means farmers – particularly those produce meat, milk and eggs – are receiving questions and input about how their farms impact the environment not only from grocery shoppers but also business investors. A study released by the International Food Information Council IFIC: https://foodinsight.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/IFIC-Regenerative-Ag-Consumer-Survey.pdf (Consumer Perspectives on Regenerative Ag) in February found that over half of those consumers surveyed have heard of organic farming, crop rotation and sustainable farming; fewer are familiar with regenerative agriculture (in research file); 4/10 consumers believe organic foods are more nutritious; 1/3 want food grown using regenerative ag (but few know what that is); 35% would purchase more expensive cereal if grown utilizing regenerative ag. But the good news is while many misconceptions exist about the sustainability of animal agriculture, data and science bring clarity to the sustainability story, helping stakeholders from farm to fork understand the progress made so far and focus on continuous improvement. In this episode, guests will discuss the farm to table perspective on sustainability including what consumers are looking for and the latest sustainability trends – and why it's important for agriculture to engage in the conversation about sustainability, whether on social media, in the board room, with financial institutions, or with other food stakeholders, what we can do better to be more effective and reach a broader audience, and the research and data that can help share a realistic view of what's happening on the farm. They will also discuss what farmers in the dairy and beef industries (in honor of Dairy Month in June) are doing today to continue improving their operations. Guests will discuss: The latest consumer insights on sustainability and consumer wants/drivers. Existing data and science that helps tell the on-farm sustainability story, and how it's helping bridge the gap between perception and reality. What are farmers doing now, and what are they aspiring to do in the future, to continue building on past success in natural resource management and production. Regenerative agriculture – what it is and how it helps How animal agriculture is actually part of the solution – not the problem How everyone plays a role in continuous improvement and a successful sustainable story   Podcast guests:  Tara Vander Dussen, New Mexico Milkmaid – Environmental Scientist/Dairy farmer/online influencer and co-founder of Elevate Ag - https://www.elevateyouragstory.com/ (https://www.elevateyouragstory.com/) Jamie Jonker – Chief Science Officer and Vice President of Sustainability & Scientific Affairs for...

Host and American Family Farmer, Doug Stephan www.eastleighfarm.com begins with announcing that June is officially Dairy Month. Trending right now are the prices for cows and how they are market based. Record high beef prices are being seen right now, as the grilling season begins, and the cost of propane is rising.

It's spring time and that means babies on the farm! In today's conversation, Brady Zuck, a beef producer from Northern Wisconsin, is back to talk about the miracle of life (you can catch our previous conversation - Cows: More than meat and milk Ep. 12). Right now on his farm, he's getting about 15+ calves a day – let's just say it's keeping him very busy. He explains how this process compares to human pregnancy and birth, the recordkeeping farmers use to make sure you're getting the best quality and consistency in your favorite beef products and just how quickly these new little babies will be up and walking after birth – it's truly just minutes. . . Amy HERE - Calving season is truly my favorite time of year of the farm. I have so many wonderful memories growing up on my family's beef farm in Northern Indiana. I can also say now that I'm a mom myself, I have a new appreciation for what these animals can do. I'm so excited to take you on this journey today! . .

Kansas is one of the fastest-growing dairy regions in the United States. The Kansas Department of Agriculture will celebrate our hard-working dairies throughout June, which is Kansas dairy month. The Kansas dairy industry is a valued part of Kansas agriculture. The industry grew and 2020, increasing milk production by more than 5% to a total of 3.8 billion pounds of milk produced annually by 173,000 dairy cows at a value of over $668 million. But behind these numbers, more than 220 family-run dairy farms are owned by Kansas dairy farmers who are valued and influential members of their communities. The growth of the dairy industry means economic gains for local communities and the state of Kansas and more wholesome, safe nutritious dairy products for families in Kansas and across the region. Kansas dairies are continuing to look for ways to be more efficient and progressive, as dairy farmers are making investments, including innovative technologies like robotic rotary milking systems to enhance the industry in the state. Adding value to the milk produced in Kansas has been a key component to advancing the state's dairy industry. From the state-of-the-art milk powder plant that opened in 2017. To this spring's announcement of the new Hilmar Cheese plant. Kansas dairies and processors have worked hard to become efficient, and they take pride in the work they do. Their farmers are committed to the health comfort and well being of their cows, and to providing high quality dairy products which are an important part of a nutritious diet.

Dr. Jousan talks to Cobie and John about the many opportunities that the 4-H Horse and Livestock Program has to offer the youth of Mississippi. Transcript: Announcer: This is 4H4U2, a podcast from the Mississippi State University Extension Service, promoting 4-H programs and positive youth development. Here now, your host Dr. John Long and Cobie Rutherford. John Long: All right, and welcome back to another 4H4U2 podcast. I'm your host, John Long. Cobie Rutherford: And I'm Cobie Rutherford. John Long: And Cobie, we have a special guest with us today, Dr. Dean Jousan and Dean, give us your title. Dean  Jousan: So my title is Extension 4-H Livestock Specialist. I'm an Associate Professor in the Department Of Animal And Dairy Sciences. John Long: That's a lot of credentials there, Dean. Dean  Jousan: It is a long title, yeah. John Long: When did you start? Dean  Jousan: I started in September, 2006 so I'm approaching finishing out my 13th year. John Long: Awesome. Yeah, you started in just a little bit before us because I remember me and you being new kids on the block, so to speak, I guess. So tell us a little bit about yourself, where you're from and how you got to where you are today I guess. Dean  Jousan: So you could probably tell by the tone of my voice, I'm from the South, I'm from East Texas, a little small town called Jouaquin, a population 800. John Long: Wow. Dean  Jousan: We're so large, we finally got a traffic light a couple of years ago. So now you got to watch out for traffic lights when you go home. John Long: Did they have this big christening for the- Dean  Jousan: I wasn't there so I'm not sure. John Long: Probably. Dean  Jousan: They probably did at Christmas time so we'd have more lights for the Christmas parade. John Long: That's great. They decorated. Dean  Jousan: Exactly. John Long: I'm sorry, go ahead. Dean  Jousan: No, no. So I grew up getting into 4-H and FFA as a young person and was involved with mainly show and breeding cattle all over the country. But we did a little bit of a poultry because that was big in our home county. Went to college at Texas A&M, got my undergraduate degree and went off to Virginia Tech for a master's degree and the University of Florida for a PhD. Literally graduated on a Saturday and interviewed here the next Monday for this opening, and I've been here ever since. John Long: Wow, wow. Cobie Rutherford: That's pretty exciting, a lot of traveling. John Long: Yes, yes, now family? Dean  Jousan: Yeah, I'm married just over 10 years to a pharmacist and we've got two kids, Keegan, a seven year old girl, and Web, a four year old boy. John Long: Awesome. And trivia, I was in Dean's wedding. Cobie Rutherford: Oh, how about that. John Long: Yes I was. I enjoyed that a lot. That was lot of fun. And I saw that come up on Facebook the other day and I thought, "Wow, 10 years just flies by." That's just insane, insane. Cobie Rutherford: That sounds like that could be a whole another podcast with the wedding stories. John Long: Well, no- Cobie Rutherford: Probably won't get into that. John Long: We're going to keep that under wraps. Cobie Rutherford: Dean, I guess I known you since I started at Mississippi State. Maybe you were on the search committee that hired me. So you were one of the first people I met in the department. Cobie Rutherford: But what intrigues me about you is that you are also a reproductive physiologist by trade. So kind of how did some cutting edge stuff with your PhD work in embryology. Is amazing how many talents this man has in terms of his education and then what his skillset is and his job. So how did those two kind of tie in together? Dean  Jousan: Yeah, so like I said, I was a 4-H'er growing up, I was interested in cattle. As I started competing in contests, educational contests, through 4-H, FFA and our state and national Simmental Association, I became interested in reproductive efficiency and the reproductive process of cattle development. So I was really interested in embryos and embryonic development. So that's what attracted me to Virginia Tech for a master's degree and the University of Florida for a PhD as I mentioned earlier. Dean  Jousan: And even though I was doing a lot of laptop research on embryos, I guess I still kind of had a heart for the producer, even though I was working more with dairy cattle at that time. I still wanted my research to be applicable to a producer because what was the point of doing research if you can't tie it back to benefiting someone's life and profession. So I try to do lots of things during both my graduate degrees to help producers and also even to help youth in some of the contests and things that I was able to help with. Cobie Rutherford: Cool. So you wear many hats and John and I know that. But let's talk about all the things you do with 4-H youth lifestyle. So what are some of the contents and activities and programs you do on an annual basis? John Long: This'll be part one. Cobie Rutherford: Yes, this'll be a two-parter for sure. John Long: Cobie and I both know how Dean is just constantly, constantly going. Go ahead Dean. Dean  Jousan: Yeah, sure. So I'll try to break it up. So livestock wise, I help to manage and oversee the Dixie National Junior Roundup. So that's the largest market show that we have in Mississippi that takes place in Jackson. So I oversee that entire show. And because my title is 4-H livestock specialist, I'll work with the [inaudible 00:05:28] champions committee that's really involved with raising a lot of funds to purchase champion animals and also really works to have developed a scholarship program over the years. Our other big livestock show, would be our Mississippi State Fair, which takes place for a couple of weeks in October. So I'm in charge of all the junior livestock shows that take place there. Dean  Jousan: I also work with our extension equine specialist, Dr. Clay Cavender. I'm heavily involved with our state 4-H horse championship. So those are the bigger animal type shows that I'm involved with in state. Cobie Rutherford: That's quite a few. So Dixie Nationals, I understand, is the largest show east of the Mississippi. Dean  Jousan: Yeah, it's a large event. We typically have probably 24, 2,500 head of livestock that we currently exhibit over about a six day period and probably 1,500 plus youth involved. So it's a large ordeal. John Long: Now, Dean, don't give me a canned answer to this, but of all those things you listed, what's your favorite today? We all have our favorites. Dean  Jousan: I guess probably what's been most rewarding to me and it probably took time, I guess, to realize it, the impact that you make through the sale of champions and through the awarding of scholarships. And when you see those kids on campus, since I've been here 13 years, your whole 4-H career starts as an eight year old and concludes as a 18 year old. So I've been here long enough to see kids that were beginning in 4-H, or not even 4-H age, develop all the way through their entire 4-H career. Dean  Jousan: So you've seen them change and and grow and gain knowledge and expertise. So really, that's been the most impactful probably. John Long: Yeah, I think that is. That, I know has to be because you see the effect of the whole... through the whole process for sure. Cobie Rutherford: So besides earning scholarships and premiums through the sale of champions, what kind of skills are these youth learning when it comes to you- John Long: You stole my question. You stole my question. Cobie Rutherford: It's almost like we've got this- John Long: I know. Cobie Rutherford: ... mind thing. John Long: Not even talking and we know what we're saying. Dean  Jousan: That's scary. John Long: Go ahead with his question Dean, or it could be our question. Dean  Jousan: There we go, we'll share it. John Long: Yeah, share it, please. Dean  Jousan: So the livestock shows are fun and that's a teaching moment. We're not directly in front of the youth teaching but the youth are still learning a lot about their development of their animals. So everything I do is educational and everything that the the youth learn is beneficial to them. We do have tons of educational contests. And I care about those a lot because, to me, that's where the youth separate themselves from other 4-H'ers. And I guess I'm biased. I mean, I do livestock and horses as well. To me, that's sort of the cream of the crop of our 4-H youth because it takes a lot of responsibility to wake up. Here we are in the middle of July and we're having mid 90 temperatures and heat index 105, 110. It's hard to get up in the morning and go out in the afternoon and get your show heifer out of the barn and take her to the wash rack and rinse her off and cool her off and work with her hair and go to some of these jackpot shows that are happening all around. Dean  Jousan: It takes a lot of responsibility, a lot of dedication, a lot of discipline to get up and do that. And we try to educate our youth with quality assurance practices to make sure that they know what they're doing to their animals, with safe and humane and they're treating them to the best way they can. So there's just a lot that really goes into the whole 4-H livestock project. John Long: I myself not owning livestock, my dad had some cows, but other than that, how does a young person own that early stage in 4-H? How do they get involved in the livestock program if their parents or whoever doesn't have the availability of an animal? How does that work? Or does it work? Dean  Jousan: Well, as far as showing an animal or just getting involved? John Long: Yeah, getting involved, getting started, I guess, from the base level since we talked about that. Dean  Jousan: Yeah, so if a family isn't able to own the animal for whatever reason, but they're still interested. We've got a whole variety of contests. A couple of weeks ago, we just had our 4-H beef cookout contest in the North and the South. So you're still learning about choosing your selection of beef to cook and how to prepare it. And that's educational in and of itself. And then we've got lots of other contests. We've got judging contests. We're either going out and learning about animal selection and what makes a good market animal versus a good breeding animal. And how to compare animals within a class and how to defend your reasons and how to come up with your decision making process. We've got Quiz bowl competitions and visual presentation contests. Dean  Jousan: If you were interested in showing beef cattle, it would be easy to go to a project achievement day for a younger 4-H'er or to Club Congress for an older 4-H'er and talk about breeds of cattle or whatever topic was of interest to you. So that way you're doing some homework and you're learning more about maybe livestock options that are available to you before you actually invest the money and get the animals and proper housing and things of that nature. John Long: And I guess that would dispel the myth that it's just not getting in the ring with an animal. There's just so much more than to do other than that. Dean  Jousan: Yeah, I would say everything that I do with livestock and horses, there's probably over 30 educational type contests that a youth could be involved in. And that could be from more of the arts and creative expression, type contests such as creating a dairy poster about the theme that year for Dairy Month in June that's turned in at Club Congress. To the horse side of things, we've got photography contests and horse art contest where you could be drawing a picture or drawing a cartoon to designing a piece of furniture that's horse related. Dean  Jousan: So there's all kinds of opportunities available. The opportunities are endless. It's just how much do you want to jump in and how much do you want to get involved with. John Long: Right, and sounds like there's a little something for everybody. Cobie Rutherford: And it seems like most of the kids or youth that participate in these showing animals and livestock, it seems like they do other things within 4-H. I've seen him here at Club Congress participating in public speaking contest or maybe did other things under the AG and natural resources umbrella, forestry judging, meats judging. It seems like they're really involved in a lot of different things. John Long: And Cobie was at the... you were at the cookout? Cobie Rutherford: Yeah. Man, that was phenomenal. I was very impressed with the beef cookout and pork cookout this year. Well even poultry too. So it was kind of neat to see those kids light up their grills Most of them pretty delicious, I think. John Long: All I ever get to do is hear about that. I never get to go because I'm in Nebraska at that time. So y'all have fun. Cobie Rutherford: What else I like about the youth program, it's something that a child can select as their project and either make it a short term project, like a getting a market hog or a pig project or even a chicken project that's even a shorter duration of time. Or they can get a long term project like a heifer and keep that heifer for an entire year and work that animal and do something with it from January to December. Cobie Rutherford: So it kind of, you can design how you want your project to work depending on what species you select, if you have that option, and even go on to different levels. I know you go chair several national contests and take 4-H'ers from the state. Where do y'all go? Dean  Jousan: Yeah, so I'll start at the regional level first. We do have a Southern regional 4-H horse championship that we host in Perry, Georgia. And this is the only regional 4-H horse show that's offered in the entire country. So youth in the 13 states that make up our region, are eligible to compete in if they qualify to go. I'm the chair of the equine specialist group, so it's a lot of work that goes into putting on that event. And we can send our top two senior teams or individuals in our horse contest to compete in that educational event and we can send up to 70 horses that qualifies as well. And we've had a good history of our youth, with our horses, being very successful at that show. Dean  Jousan: From an educational standpoint, there are a variety of state contests that I host throughout the year where we qualify youth to go to national competitions. So in November of every year at the North American International Livestock Expo in Louisville, Kentucky, we will send a dairy Quiz bowl team and a dairy judging team. And then I guess this is maybe the third year that we've sent a 4-H livestock skill-a-thon team. And that's sort of a unique team that that we develop, that's not a county based team. We kind of worked with some of the elite 4-H'ers in beef, sheep, Swan and meat goats and we kind of single out some of them and do some mock contests and really kind of select a cream of the crop to represent us on that team. Dean  Jousan: And then early January is where we send the majority of our youth out to the Western National Roundup in Denver, Colorado. We send up to six horse related teams, a meats judging team, a livestock judging team, a livestock Quiz bowl. And then we also take a couple of other competitions that I'm not directly involved with, but we take a consumer decisions team and a prepared public speaking individuals. All together, it's probably over 30 youth that can qualify to go out to that event. Cobie Rutherford: Now, do y'all usually take a plane or drive a bus or how do y'all get out there to Denver? Dean  Jousan: We used to take an MSU bus and that was about a 24 hour trip out there and back with very little stops. In recent years, we've taken the big airplanes and every county sort of coordinates their own travel to get out about the same day. People like taking a direct flight of about two hours versus a 24 hour bus ride with people not brushing their teeth and all that stuff, yeah. John Long: I got a funny memory of that. I've never been to it, but I got a funny memory of that. Hey Cobie, you've heard me talk about Clover Clues, when we had this little thing? Cobie Rutherford: Yeah. John Long: Dean, I had to get a report. Do you remember this? You probably don't, it's been a long time ago. Dean had to give me a report of how the teams had done out in Denver and they were on their way back. Poor Dean, he was talking on the cell phone to me and I could just tell he was tired. But we did really well that year, I remember, and I had to give his report for him. But I remember those bus trips and y'all talking about them. So yeah, that would be a long time. Cobie Rutherford: I'm sure there's a lot of good memories. Well Dean, another thing that I think is pretty neat with what you do, yesterday I had the chance to help out with that dairy products judging. And we think about livestock specialists helping with a bunch of different live animals species, but the products are just as important as the actual animals, right? Dean  Jousan: Sure, yeah. And I guess that's what's interesting about a lot of what I do. Dairy products is a little more unique than maybe some of the other judging contest. But the neat thing about all of those things is that, again, like John referred to earlier, you don't have to own the animal to be in dairy products judging. That's a simple contest where you're evaluating samples of Milk and cheddar cheese and ice cream for flavors and, and different ways those products are prepared. They're not prepared in unhealthy ways, but they're prepared differently. And that makes those products taste differently, just like if you season your steak. The way I season my steak versus the way you season yours, maybe a little bit different to the degree that you cook your steak, maybe different than the way I cook mine. It doesn't mean you're right or I'm right, it's just the way we do it, and then they're evaluated. Dean  Jousan: So a lot of the things I do, it's neat because the kids can form a basis of what the ideal product should be, what the ideal animal should be. And the neat thing is, a lot of the judging contests, all that stuff can go over to consumer decisions judging or another type of judging event. You know the structure of how to present your reasons and how to make your choices, you just have to learn about judging refrigerators versus judging a class a steers. John Long: So you're saying it can cross over into other areas. Dean  Jousan: Yeah, and that's where I think a lot of our livestock kids... To me, I see a lot of them crossing over into other aspects of 4-H just because they meet kids from around the state when they're at the state fair, when they're at Dixie National. They're interacting with youth all over the state and they hear about other contests and they say, "Hey, wow, if I win that, I can go on a trip." So they want to really invest and learn and engage in ways to learn to better themselves. John Long: Right, right. And it's just like any other areas in 4-H, if we offer those programs based on the areas of interest of young people and we get them in and we all teach them life skills. Regardless, it's youth development from day one. So that's always fascinating with me is how those areas all work together for the same common goal, and that's great. John Long: Well Dean, we certainly appreciate you coming in and sitting down with us today and whenever you can, catch your breath, please. We want you to stay around for a long time because you do such a great job and we appreciate all that you do for 4-H and for the youth of our state. So thank you for that. And if anybody wants more information on livestock and other areas of 4-H and what to do, go to the Extension webpage and check us out there. You've got information on there? Dean  Jousan: Yup. John Long: Anywhere else we need to go to. Dean  Jousan: I've got a Facebook page. If you're on Facebook, you can type in to search for Mississippi 4-H livestock and horse program. And as you alluded to, if you go to the MSU Extension website and search for 4-H livestock, there's plenty of information about our big major shows and education contests and all sorts of information. John Long: And not to mention, other publications that we have that you can read- Dean  Jousan: Lots of publications and newsletters and lots of information. John Long: Wonderful. Well thank you for that. And with that, we're going to wrap up this week's podcast. And Cobie, we'll be back next time with some more good stuff that 4-H is doing. Cobie Rutherford: Yeah, next time we'll have two attendees for the co-op leadership camp joining us. John Long: Yes, that'll be great. Cobie Rutherford: Looking forward to that. John Long: Be great. All right, well with that, I'm John. Cobie Rutherford: And I'm Cobie. John Long: And we'll talk to you next time. Announcer: Thanks for joining us for 4H4U2.

On this episode of Bayfield County Wild, Director of Tourism Mary Motiff talks about the things people can see sailing around the Apostle Islands and the many ways you can charter a sailing adventure of your own, regardless of your experience. Then, she and Co-host Nancy Christopher chat with Tim Landgreen, owner of Northern Pines, about how his family turned their family farm into a beautiful golf course and event center in Iron River.   Sailing the Apostle Islands The Apostle Islands originally got its name because it was believed there were only 12 islands, just like the 12 apostles. It was later discovered there were actually 22 different islands to protect ships from the temperamental waters of the inland sea. While some of the islands have been inhabited by humans, a group of the islands have been designated as the Gaylord Nelson Wilderness Area. Left untouched for decades, Mary says you can find interesting relics left by the former inhabitants, in addition to lush forest, spectacular Brownstone cliffs and sea caves carved by centuries of crashing waves. After the Great Chicago Fire in 1871, new materials were needed that were fire-resistant to rebuild the Windy City. Brownstone was quarried from the Apostle Islands and shipped to Chicago to rebuild, where these beautiful buildings still stand today. You’ll also see brownstone buildings from this area in other cities such as Milwaukee and even in New York. Another feature of the Apostle Island is its many lighthouses. Guided tours are offered on 4 of the islands including Raspberry Island and Michigan Island, where you can climb to the top and take in the panoramic views. (Note: there are specific times of the year that you can do this, so plan ahead so you’re not disappointed). According to Mary, there are many ways to experience sailing on these islands. A number of businesses offer small sailboat charters for one or two people for either a short sail in the morning, afternoon or at sunset or a longer, overnight trip. Most of the sailboats can typically take six people. Superior Charters lets you skipper your own boat if you have the experience or you can hire a captain to take your group out. There are about 30 to 35 different boats to choose from. They also offer “learn to sail” vacations, advanced sailing courses and executive retreats for companies that would like to have a unique team-building exercise for its employees. Regardless of your level of sailing experience, there are group, multi-day and multi-boat flotillas that can be chartered. There’s also an organization called Lake Superior Tall Ships that will take you out on a “pirate ship” type vessel that lets you help raise the sails, steer the wheel or just relax and enjoy the ride. To learn more about these sailing adventures, visit www.bayfield.org and use the search bar to look up sailing, or you can go to www.travelbayfieldcounty.com and look at the business directory for sailing under the “activities and adventures” category.   Hitting the Links at Northern Pines Tim Landgreen has put a lot of sweat equity into the farm his family has owned for more than 130 years. On 300 acres of farmland, Tim and his wife had an “aha” moment 20 years ago and decided to use half of that acreage to build a golf course and event center called Northern Pines. According to Tim, the family started with a driving range in 1998. They spent the next three years building a golf course, added a rustic 40 x 80-ft. clubhouse in 2005 and completed a 40 x 60-ft. event center for weddings, anniversaries, birthdays and other occasions in 2011. According to Tim, Northern Pines is an extra-wide, Par 36 golf course about 3,200-ft.-long. There are lots of elevation changes, good dog legs with a tree-lined front nine and a link-style course with open fields on the back nine. The last hole features a 60- to 80-ft. elevation leading to a green at the top of the hill which happens to be near the clubhouse where you can take a break. Tim and his family organize many events throughout the year. A beautiful pergola was added recently, which is perfect for wedding ceremonies. For the second year, Northern Pines will host a sled dog race with a $4,000 purse on Feb. 15, 2020. The 16-mile course will accommodate 50 dog teams. Photos of last year’s successful event can be found on www.northernpinessdr.com, http://northernpineseventcenter.com and http://northernpinesgolf.com/.

Tune in to Shining Bright for a FarmHERD kick off to Dairy Month. Listen to host Marji Guyler-Alaniz as she gathers up a few friends to talk about building a community, running a business and ICE CREAM! Stacey Noe and Carly Cummings join the conversation as Stacey shares her thought process behind opening her recent business, Double Dipped, located in Huxley, Iowa. 

In this week's program I'm going to cover a couple of different topics, although there are some common elements from an educational perspective. First up is Joanna Guza, Digital Communications Manager, Edge Dairy Farmer Cooperative and also volunteer with GMO Answers. We talk about social networking as a tool to reach people about topics like GMOs, especially during Dairy Month. Joanna has some great insight and advice for using the tools we have. Next I talk with Paul Teutul, Jr., Paul JR Designs and Discovery's American Chopper. Paul built two motorcycles that run on E-85. One bike is for the Sturgis Buffalo Chip and the other for the Renewable Fuels Association. During the project Paul learned a lot about ethanol and shares some of what he learned. The whole project is part of an on-going educational effort by RFA and uses a lot of social networking. This is why I love my podcast. I get to talk with some awesome people in all kinds of places and about all kinds of topics!

June is Dairy Month.  Julie Murphree of Arizona Farm Bureau and Kevin Danzeisen of Danzeisen Dairy discusses the process and procedures of how their milk goes from the cows to the store in glass bottles! (No cartons)

June is celebrated as Dairy Month within the U.S. Kim and Ken Heiman of Nasonville Dairy, located near Marshfield, Wisconsin, chat with us about the cheesemaking process while also discussing the pride that dairy farmers take in their work.

We’re celebrating Dairy Month with the St. Louis District Dairy Council! Guest Camille Smith - RD, LD, Nutrition Educator for the St. Louis District Dairy Council, along with Frank Doll - president of the St. Louis District Dairy Council board and an Illinois dairy farmer, and residents from Lutheran Senior Services Laclede Groves Senior Living Community talk all things dairy. Frank discusses his career as a dairy farmer and what it means to him to be a farmer. Camille features samples of recipes from a 1930s-era cookbook, and our panel from Laclede Groves gives their feedback. Find the recipes from today’s program and more about the St. Louis District Dairy Council at stldairycouncil.org and facebook.com/stlouisdairycouncil.

June is National Dairy Month and The Farm Report is celebrating as host Erin Fairbanks chats with Beth Chittenden of Dutch Hollow Farm. Dutch Hollow Farm is owned by the Chittenden family and is a Registered Jersey Dairy Farm that milks about 600 cows and has about 1,000 cows total. Beth shares the details surrounding the breed of cows used on the farm as well as how their milk is used once it leaves the farm. Beth goes on to explain how Dutch Hollow Farm holds animal husbandry in high regard and how they try to breed for polled cows (naturally born without horns). Also, Beth recently took a group of teen and pre-teen dairy farmers into NYC where they explored Beecher’s Handmade Cheese to watch cheese being made and how NYC people see dairy in the dairy case, plus checked out the dairy case competition in “milk” (soy, almond milk, etc). NYC, as Beth elaborates on, is the most important and largest market for fluid milk for NY dairy farmers so it is necessary to educate the city on the benefits of dairy milk. After the break, Erin welcomes Mark Doyle of Fishkill Farms to the program as a highlighted adventure from our friends at EscapeMaker.com. Mark gives listeners a brief history of the farm and how Fishkill Farms has grown from a conventionally farmed apple orchard in need of new trees and new tractors, into a diversified, ecological farm with new orchards and infrastructures. This program was brought to you by EscapeMaker.com. “We are the largest or second largest herd in Jersey State. Our milk is primarily used for making dairy products like cheese… rather than being consumed as whole milk.” “If we don’t have a market then why do we need a farm?” “When you ask somebody between milk they don’t really know the differences between dairy milk and milk alternatives and where it all comes from… we need to convey that to [customers].” —Beth Chittenden on The Farm Report
