 HIGH QUALITY HAY AFTER CALVING
– Ben Beckman, NE Extension Educator

Good cow nutrition is crucial following calving to get cows rebred.  Today, let's look at the reason for using our top tier hay after calves hit the ground.

Because cows experience a lot of stress after calving, they need good feed. Not only is the cow producing milk for her calf, she is also preparing her reproductive system to rebreed.  As a result, nutrient demands are high.  Energy requirements increase about 30 percent and protein needs nearly double after calving.  Underfeeding reduces the amount of milk a cow provides her calf, and it can delay or even prevent rebreeding.  If it gets cold, wet, or icy again, nutrient demands can sky-rocket.

Even if they can get to them, winter grass, corn stalks, and other crop residues are low quality right now as these feeds have weathered and are well picked over.  It is critical that the hay or silage you feed will provide the extra nutrients your cows need.

Because of this, not just any hay or silage will do.  Your cow needs 10 to 12 percent crude protein and 60 to 65 percent TDN in her total diet.  If she is grazing poor quality feeds or eating grass hay, your other forages and supplements must make up any deficiencies.

Make sure your forage has adequate nutrients; if you haven't done so yet, get it tested now for protein and energy content.  Compare this to the nutrient requirements of your cows.  Then feed your cows a ration that will meet their requirements.  Use supplements if needed.  But don't overfeed, either.  That is wasteful and expensive.

Calving and the months after are a stressful time for cows.  If we underfeed, it can delay rebreeding and slow down calf growth.  Use your best quality forages with any needed supplements to provide adequate nutrition.  By meeting nutrient requirements, your cows will milk well, rebreed on time, and produce healthy calves year after year.



Search Begins for Iowa’s Best Burger

Iowa’s beef producers are asking their fellow Iowans to help find Iowa’s Best Burger in 2023. In this year’s quest, the Iowa Beef Industry Council (IBIC) and the Iowa Cattlemen’s Association (ICA) are encouraging you to nominate your favorite burger, whether it’s gourmet or down-home style.

“We are looking for the best burger served in an Iowa restaurant,” said Kylie Peterson, Director of Marketing and Communications for the Iowa Beef Industry Council. “Although burgers are often standard fare, we know from experience that the winners of this contest are well-above standard, and serve outstanding burgers. Finding these great burgers depends on Iowans choosing their favorite, and nominating them.”

This is the fourteenth year the two groups are holding the annual Iowa’s Best Burger contest, which officially kicks off on February 13, 2023. During the first phase of the contest, Iowans are encouraged to nominate their favorite burger before March 13, 2023.

Peterson noted that restaurants are a valuable partner to the beef industry. “They do a tremendous job preparing and serving our beef products in delicious and creative ways. This contest is not only a great way to celebrate the high-quality products that Iowa’s beef farmers produce, but draws business to participating restaurants and their communities.”

To qualify to be named Iowa’s Best Burger, the burger must be a 100% real beef patty and served on a bun or bread product. The more nominations a restaurant receives, the better the chances are for that burger to make it on the “Top Ten” list announced Monday, March 20 on WHO Radio’s “The Big Show”. Finalists will receive a certificate and be eligible for the secret taste-test of contest judges. The 2023 Best Burger in Iowa will be announced on May 1, 2023, with the kick-off of May Beef Month in Iowa.

Details about the contest, rules, and the voting form are available on the Iowa Beef Industry Council website, www.iabeef.org. Burger lovers can also find a link to the online nomination form at the Iowa Beef Council Facebook page. Photos of your favorite burger can be shared socially using #IABestBurger. The nomination period will close at 5 p.m. on March 13, 2023.

Restaurants can download a digital toolkit including promotional materials for the contest from IBIC’s website at www.iabeef.org to promote the contest to their customers. The promotional materials can be used in the restaurants, online, or on social media.



USGC Winter Meeting Sets Global Trade Strategy Over The Coming Year

Members of the U.S. Grains Council (USGC) are arriving in Savannah, GA, for the Council’s 20th International Marketing Conference (IMC) and 63rd Annual Membership Meeting, held Feb. 13-15, where they will focus on challenges and opportunities around the world and hold a roundtable forum celebrating the Council’s rich history. The event will also include several Advisory Team (A-Team) sessions, where experts in various agricultural commodities and markets will come together to brainstorm strategies and share experiences relevant to their industry for this year.

“It is my honor to welcome all of our attendees in Savannah to discuss the state of the agricultural industry today,” said USGC Chairman Josh Miller. “We look forward to collaborating with A-Team members to help shape the Council’s goals and strategies for 2023.”

The first general session will begin with USGC directors in Mexico, Japan, Southeast Asia and Oceania and the Middle East, Africa and Europe will give market outlooks from their local perspectives. Next, a panel of four former Council chairmen will discuss how the Council has changed over the years and look ahead to the future of the organization. Dr. Joe Outlaw, a professor at Texas A&M University, will provide attendees with the status of this year’s farm bill and then Council President and CEO Ryan LeGrand will deliver his State of the Council address to close out the day.

“The Council takes pride in offering the latest information on global grain markets to our members at this event,” LeGrand said. “The conversations had here will be a benefit to attendees, staff members and the Council as a whole as we strive to maintain U.S. corn, sorghum, barley and their co-products’ status as the number one option for consumers worldwide.”

These presenters will set the stage for member discussions and A-Team meetings in the afternoon.

The winter meeting is an annual chance for corn, sorghum and barley farmers and members of agribusinesses, who make up the organization’s membership, to meet with Council staff working on behalf of U.S. producers. The guidance and information they offer during this meeting, combined with input from A-Team members, help plan the roadmap for the Council’s near-term strategy.

Tuesday’s agenda is packed with A-Team and commodity sector meetings, and the event will wrap up with the Board of Delegates and Board of Directors meetings on Wednesday, where the Council will unveil its updated strategic plan. The Council’s trade policy team will also formally launch the Corn Sustainability Assurance Protocol during the Board of Delegates meeting, allowing attendees to get a first look at the Council’s latest effort to promote the climate-conscious efforts of U.S. farmers.



Global Market Outlooks, Farm Bill News On Tap At Milestone USGC Meeting

Members of the U.S. Grains Council (USGC) gathered in-person in Savannah, GA for the first day of the Council’s 20th International Marketing Conference and 63rd Annual Membership Meeting, held Feb. 13-15, and began planning for the organization’s market development strategies for 2023.

Council Chairman Josh Miller opened the first general session of the event and provided an overview of topics to be discussed and his theme for the year, Live the Mission. Greg Van Brunt of the Georgia Port Authority followed to welcome attendees to Savannah.

“The Council has always sought to build mutually beneficial relationships for domestic producers and overseas buyers alike,” Miller said. “I’m proud of how Council staff has worked towards our mission of developing markets, enabling trade and improving lives.”

Council President and CEO Ryan LeGrand took the stage afterwards to give his State of the Council address, updating participants on overall direction and strategy for the rest of the year.

“The Council’s work is long term. Nothing happens overnight, but we’re committed to having boots on the ground in emerging markets every single day,” LeGrand said. “We want to tell the story of how our farmers work sustainably and show the quality and availability of U.S. agricultural products.”

LeGrand then moderated a panel of Council directors from offices in Mexico; Southeast Asia and Oceania; Japan; and the Middle East, Africa and Europe who discussed the challenges and opportunities facing them in markets around the world.

The program continued with a conversation featuring former Council chairmen who have led the organization since the 1990s, where they celebrated and recalled historic moments from over the decades and how they act as a springboard for the future.

“As I look back at where the Council has been and what it’s doing now, I think we’ve done a great job in lifting U.S. agriculture’s profile and sales internationally,” said Eldon Gould, USGC chairman in 1995. “It’s important to remain alert to the challenges and opportunities the Council has with how quickly business can be conducted and information can be shared today.”

The general session wrapped up with an overview of what to expect in the upcoming farm bill from Texas A&M Professor Dr. Joe Outlaw. He said it will require long, difficult negotiations to make any significant progress on pushing the bill through Congress and warned of the possibility that a deal will not be struck this year.

The meeting continues this afternoon and tomorrow, including more than nine hours of Council Advisory Team (A-Team) and sector meetings, topical committees comprised of Council members who help set the direction of the Council’s efforts over the next year.

On Wednesday, longtime Council producer members and staff will be recognized for their years of service during the Board of Delegates meeting where A-Team leaders and sector directors will offer their recommendations and set Council priorities for the coming year. The Council will also unveil its updated strategic plan and the Corn Sustainability Assurance Protocol (CSAP) on Wednesday to further recognize and promote the green farming practices of U.S. producers.



NCGA to EPA: Higher Renewable Fuel Volumes Good for Economy, Energy Security and Environment

Higher renewable fuel volumes over the next three years would go a long way in improving energy security, lowering gas prices and reducing greenhouse gas emissions, according to recent comments the National Corn Growers Association submitted to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

The Renewable Fuel Standard, or RFS, requires that U.S. transportation fuel contain a minimum volume of renewable fuel each year. NCGA’s comments were in response to EPA’s proposed volume requirements for 2023, 2024 and 2025.

“NCGA supports EPA’s proposal of annual increases in volumes, including an implied conventional biofuel volume of 15.25 billion gallons, and recognition that ethanol plays a critical role in cutting GHG emissions and our energy security,” stated NCGA President Tom Haag in the comments. “With continued pressure on energy security and costs, and the need to accelerate GHG emission reductions, however, biofuels can contribute even more. We ask EPA to continue working with us on complementary policies to advance higher ethanol blends, enabling ethanol to do more to cut emissions and costs.”

NCGA also noted that renewable fuel adds more than 20 billion gallons to the nation’s fuel supply annually, lowering consumer costs, creating rural jobs and reducing greenhouse gas emissions by more than 1 billion metric tons since the RFS was enacted.

As producers of the primary feedstock for low carbon ethanol, corn farmers contribute to the success of the RFS through higher corn yields and enhanced sustainability. Haag noted that by producing more corn with less land and fewer resources, famers cut the carbon intensity of ethanol while meeting food, feed, export and fuel needs.

NCGA also urged EPA to adopt the U.S. Department of Energy’s Argonne National Lab GREET model for lifecycle GHG assessment.

“EPA acknowledges that its 2010 modeling framework is old and requires updating,” said Haag. “Yet instead of adopting the federal government’s most robust and updated analysis, EPA uses outdated estimates in the proposal while continuing modeling reviews.”

Additionally, NCGA strongly urged EPA to separate the proposal for renewable electricity, or eRINs, from the volume proposal, allowing additional time for consideration because the proposal is inconsistent with the way the RFS functions for other renewable fuels.
 
NCGA members also weighed in directly with EPA on the proposal, with 2,164 farmers submitting individual comments. With the RFS comment period now closed, EPA faces a June deadline to issue a final volume rule.



Cattle Chat: Additional Antibiotic Regulations Ahead

When fighting a bacterial infection, often it means a trip to the doctor’s office to obtain a prescription. And when it comes to livestock and companion animals, a veterinarian is the professional guiding the treatment protocol.

In the U.S., the regulating agency overseeing antibiotic use is the Food and Drug Administration, and it is instituting a change to antibiotic labeling that will soon go into effect, said the veterinarians at the Kansas State University Beef Cattle Institute on a recent Cattle Chat podcast.

“GFI (guidance for industry) 263 is a plan for animal drug companies to change their labels from over-the-counter to prescription and it will go into effect June 11, 2023,” said veterinarian Brian Lubbers.

He said this policy covers all medically important antimicrobials that are used in food-producing and companion animals.

“Most of what we use in veterinary medicine is also considered important in human medicine with the main exception being ionophores,” Lubbers said. “This policy primarily addresses the injectable and oral penicillin, tetracycline and sulfa products. These products are currently available over-the-counter, and they will be moved to a prescription-only label.”

Lubbers said that for beef producers who already have an established veterinary-client-patient relationship, often referred to as a VCPR, this new policy will have little impact on how they run their ranches.

“Producers just need to have the oversight of a veterinarian with this directive, but they can still treat their animals without the veterinarian present and they are not required to buy the product from the veterinarian,” said K-State veterinarian Bob Larson.

Lubbers agreed and added: “While the veterinarians establish treatment protocols, they don’t have to actually observe every animal prior to the animal getting the prescribed treatment.”

Aside from the goal of reducing antibiotic resistance with this guidance, the veterinarians also see some additional benefits with this policy.

“Knowing that we have antibiotic oversight is a benefit with our trading partners and consumers,” Larson said.

Lubbers said that with closer veterinary oversight, health challenges may be addressed in a more efficient manner.

“A veterinarian may be able to recommend a better treatment plan with closer involvement to the herd and that can have additional health benefits,” he said.



Biden-Harris Administration Announces Availability of Inflation Reduction Act Funding for Climate-Smart Agriculture Nationwide

Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack announced the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) is making funding available for agricultural producers and forest landowners nationwide to participate in voluntary conservation programs and adopt climate-smart practices. The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) provided an additional $19.5 billion over five years for climate smart agriculture through several of the conservation programs that USDA’s Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) implements. NRCS is making available $850 million in fiscal year 2023 for its oversubscribed conservation programs: the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP), Conservation Stewardship Program (CSP), Agricultural Conservation Easement Program (ACEP) and Regional Conservation Partnership Program (RCPP).

“The Inflation Reduction Act provided a once-in-a-generation investment in conservation on working lands, and we want to work with agricultural and forest landowners to invest in climate-smart practices that create value and economic opportunity for producers,” said Vilsack, who spoke today at the National Association of Conservation Districts annual meeting. “We know that agriculture plays a critical role in the nation’s effort to address climate change, we’re using this funding to bolster our existing programs, maximize climate benefits, and foster other environmental benefits across the landscape.”

The IRA funding includes an additional $8.45 billion for EQIP, $4.95 billion for RCPP, $3.25 billion for CSP, and $1.4 billion for ACEP. The increased funding levels begin in fiscal year 2023 and rapidly build over four years. These additional investments are estimated to help hundreds of thousands of farmers and ranchers apply conservation to millions of acres of land. Additionally, the IRA provides $300 million to quantify carbon sequestration and greenhouse gases (GHG) through the collection and use of field-based data to assess conservation outcomes. Information gained through this effort will be used to improve practices and technical assistance to customers. Further guidance on this important work will be provided as the implementation of this portion of the IRA continues.

These funds will provide direct climate mitigation benefits and will expand access to financial and technical assistance for producers to advance conservation on their farm, ranch or forest land through practices like cover cropping, conservation tillage, wetland restoration, prescribed grazing, nutrient management, tree planting and more. To ensure we can quantify the benefits of these IRA investments, NRCS is working to support Department-wide work on Measurement, Monitoring, Reporting and Verification (MMRV). The IRA provided targeted funding to support this effort. In administering the Inflation Reduction Act climate investments, USDA will also support other environmental co-benefits, including – among other things – water conservation, wildlife habitat improvements, and reducing runoff.

Planting Considerations for a Successful Spring

Routine planter maintenance is an important part of spring success and should be performed well before planting. It’s equally important to be mindful of planter performance as you go from row-to-row and field-to-field.

“As you move from field-to-field, keep track of planter depth,” said Ron Joiner, Pioneer Field Agronomist. “Field conditions change, so the set it and forget it method might not work.”

Planting depth is important to seed germination and can affect plant growth, too. Planting seeds too deep or too shallow can result in a failure to germinate. Utilizing a simple measuring tool can ensure proper seed depth on each pass.

“Besides planting depth, I like to look at the rows and see what kind of spacing we’re getting,” Joiner said.

Worn planter parts can cause non-uniform seed spacing, skips or even double seeds. As with planting depth, spacing is important for germination and to ensure seeds aren’t competing for nutrients.

Finally, be mindful of soil temperature. Germination and root development will not occur below 50°F and will be extremely slow even in the low 50’s. Prolonged exposure to low temperatures reduces seed and plant metabolism and vigor and increases sensitivity to herbicides and seedling blights.

“If you look at the weather forecast and it’s calling for showers or cooler weather, you might want to delay planting for a day or two,” Joiner said. “You want to make sure you’re giving the seed every chance it can to emerge and thrive.”
