“While one stable fl y does not cause signifi cant damage, 50–100 of these blood-sucking pests occurring together with 500 horn fl ies can cause a substantial daily loss of blood. This common livestock pest situation can result in a loss of 10–20% in milk production.” - Kaufman, P. E. and Weeks, E. N. I. “Stable Fly (Dog Fly) Control”.

{ CAUSING }

It’s been proven, nuisance fl ies disrupt cattle comfort and spread disease, which can affect production. It has also been proven that ClariFly®

Larvicide can help stop fl ies before they become breeding, biting adults. When you add ClariFly®

Larvicide to feed, it passes through cattle to affect

larval development in the manure where fl ies lay their eggs. Use ClariFly® Larvicide as part of an IPMprogram that includes manure sanitation along with Bite Free™ Stable Fly Traps to help manage fl ies on your dairy operation. Learn more at centralfl ycontrol.com or call 800.347.8272.

AGP Opposes EPA’s Proposal to Reduce Biodiesel Requirements Omaha, NE (October 5, 2017) – Ag Processing Inc a cooperative (AGP) announced today the Company opposes a recent proposal by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to reduce the biodiesel requirements of the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS). The EPA proposal could reduce the 2018 biodiesel RFS requirement by up to 315 million gallons and the 2019 requirement by over 1 billion gallons from current levels. “We believe the RFS is one of the most important pro-growth policies affecting agriculture, as it boosts farm income, creates rural jobs, and generates new demand for our commodities,” said Keith Spackler, AGP Chief Executive Officer. “We oppose this proposal and believe it will have a negative impact on the U.S. biodiesel industry and rural communities throughout the country.” Spackler noted that AGP would be contacting policymakers and will also encourage its member-owners to oppose this proposal. “One of the core justifications supporting the EPA proposal is a mistaken belief the U.S. biodiesel industry lacks the production capacity to provide 2.1 billion gallons of biodiesel to market,” stated Cal Meyer, AGP Chief Operating Officer. “The U.S. biodiesel industry, by EPA’s own numbers, has a domestic annual capacity in excess of 4.2 billion gallons. The proposed reductions are unnecessary and will cause significant economic harm. Reducing the biodiesel requirements would lower the price of soybeans, jeopardize many of the jobs associated with biodiesel production, and negatively impact the domestic soybean processing and livestock industries,” Meyer added. Soybeans are a critical feedstock for the biodiesel industry, representing approximately 55 percent of the feedstock. On a national basis, soybean oil used in biodiesel production from U.S. producers accounts for over 5.7 billion pounds. This represents the soybean oil produced through processing over 475 million bushels of soybeans, or 25 percent of annual U.S. crush. AGP (www.agp.com) is a leading agribusiness with primary operations as a major U.S. soybean processor/refiner producing and marketing soybean meal, refined soybean oil, and biodiesel. AGP businesses also include agricultural product trading in domestic and international markets and numerous U.S. grain elevator operations. AGP is owned by 148 local and regional cooperatives representing over 250,000 farmer-producers across the United States. Corporate headquarters are located in Omaha, Nebraska.

Members that participated were Morelands, Iman’s, Chamberlins, and Morgans. Grand Champion was shown by Cassandra Iman. Southwest: Nelson Hostetler reported they had good attendance at their District meeting that was in Republic. They are moving it around the district. District show was at State Fair. Had a great turnout for the 2017 Field Day that was held at College of the Ozarks. He thanked everyone who attended. South Central: Tommy Scrivner reported that the 2017 District show was with the Douglas County Fair. Grand was owned by Tom Durst. Grand of the Jr Show was Kylie Scrivner and Premier Breeder and Exhibitor was Scribble Farms (Scrivners). There were 10 farms and 28 head that participated. Northeast: Alfred Brandt reported that a group of members have hosted the Northeast MO (NEMO) Holstein Sale again in October. The 2017 district show was held in Louisburg in conjunction with the county fair. The 2018 NE District show is planned for Columbia with a date to be announced. Holstein USA: Tim Ewing thanked members for opening their doors to him. He has enjoyed helping everyone. Tim stated that there were lots of great cattle that have come out of the NEMO sale the past few years. If members need to order ear tags they need to call Holstein Customer service directly (notTim)astoavoidanyerrorsororderonline.NEWPOLICY:Ifyouaresellingembryos–youcan’ttransfertheembryosorflushafterthecalvesareborn. Embryos must be transferred at time of sale. The Region 7 BAA high list of herds was just released and it is dominated by Missouri members, congratulations! Holstein USA had a record year in 2017 for registrations. There is also a one-hour promotion of the Holstein and dairy industry on February8that9AMCSTonRFD-TV.ItwillbeaonehourshowandfeaturesMissouribreeders,Cla-CorFarmsofEaston,MO.University of Missouri Extension: Karla Deaver announced the outstanding dairy judging year that both Missouri 4-H and Missouri FFA experienced this year. Missouri 4-H placed 3rd at World Dairy Expo earning them the opportunity to participate in the International Dairy Judging competition June 2018. Missouri FFA (Monett) also placed 3rd at the National FFA Convention earning them the same opportunity. This presents a unique situation where Missouri has two teams attending the same International competition. The state should be very proud of the dairy youth that are representing them. The 4-H team is doing several things throughout the convention to help raise funds for their trip. Both teams are seeking funds and have 501©3 status. Dr. Scott Poock reported on the MU Dairy. They have 180 Holsteins, 20 Guernseys and a sister to the high selling polled heifer a couple years ago is on the current polled list. Ted discussed youth events: Cow Camp (end of May) and Dairy Judging Camp. He is encouraged that cow camp is still bursting at the seams and it began in 1997. He has active grazing programs in the state and there are still opportunities to incorporate grazing. There also are a lot of opportunities with cattle housing as a number of dairymen have installed compost pack barns. ReaganBluelremindedmembersoftheLandGrantCompact,studentsmustfillouttheFAFSAform,butthenkidscangotoUniversityforFree.Compact is due Feb. 1st. Reagan also reminded people about the Women in Dairy program. It is beginning its third year with new programming and the hopes to attend World Dairy Expo in the fall. Women in Dairy also just started a Facebook page, so please ‘like’ the page for information on upcoming programming. Dairy Shrine: Ray Schooley talked about the Dairy Shrine. It is $50 to become a member and includes all breeds leaders and youths. The shrine recognizes outstanding youth and adults. Scholarship funds are supported with memberships. Dairy Hall of Honors: Kate Geppert said the annual banquet is scheduled for Friday, February 2 at 11:30 am on the MU campus. Those receiving awards are Gene Wiseman, State Milk Board & Stacy Dohle - Meritorious Service, Chris Hackman (Central Dairy) – Leadership, John Denbigh – Breeder, and C.H. Eckles & Kenny Lenz – Pioneer. Award nominations are due Nov. 1st It is a simple form that requires 3 letters of recommendation.

There is a great deal of relevant fair information that is shared through that site. Parking – still has not been sorted out. Mike Wilson commented that he attended the MN State Fair and if you had cattle at the fair you were not charged for parking.

COMMITTEE REPORTS:Show and Futurity: Ryan Bilyeu reported the committee suggests that the All-MO awards remain with a one-day show at State Fair and that Futurity also continue at State Fair. There was some discussion about moving All-MO Show to Ozark Empire Fair. Larry Wright commented that there are very few cattle at OEF last year. It was suggested to keep at state fair. There is currently no state fair photographer. Futurity awards have been a choice between a director’schairandasemencertificatefromSelectSires.ABSstillsponsorsjuniorchair.TherewasaquestionregardingFuturityrules:1. ET Calves that are born out of state. The rules state ‘born in Missouri and bred by a member of MHA.’ What if an ET calf is born outside of Missouri, but still owned by MHA member? There was discussion. Janice Ling moved to drop words “born in MO’ out of the Futurity rules. Larry Wright 2nd. Discussion. Motion Passes.

2. What if one partner is out of state on an animal? Jodi commented that all other rules regarding membership, All-MO, and other awards are that ‘as long asonememberofthepartnershipisaMissouriHolsteinmember,thentheanimalqualifiesasaMissourianimal.3. The committee wondered about having the Futurity form online and to be able to pay entries online. Jodi explained that that would be a lot of work and web programming. Members can print off their PCDart heifer report and indicate the heifers they are entering if they don’t want to actually write them all out. The Southern National Spring Show is scheduled for April 9-14, 2018 in Stillwater, OK, judge is Brian Killroy, WI. Futurity entries for 2020 are due February 1, 2018.Sale Committee: Jason Ewing reported on our 5th Convention sale. The sale grossed quite a bit less than last year, $48,250.00. The gloomy dairy outlook for 2018 kept sale prices low even though we had excellent quality. Lot 2 ended up being the high seller at $4000 and sold to College of the Ozarks. Thanked Larry, Jodi and Tim for all of their work on the sale. Also thanked our sponsors who advertised in the catalog, which eliminated a lot of our costs. The sale averaged $1787 on 27 total lots of live animals, choices, and embryos. Twenty four head of live lots averaged $1862. The committee continued with CowBuyer and sold 3 lots online with 36 registered bidders, 21 online and 9 that were active. Jason states that we need high quality photos before it gets cold or snows. Committee might take fewer lots next year, they welcome suggestions. Thank you to Robthom Farm for the junior embryo donations. We would like quality photos and video clips so that we can do more advertising. However, they have to be quality with clean animals and clean / neat backgrounds. Need a volunteer who would want to work with video. The committee recommends hosting the sale again. Website: Jodi Wright reported that the committee has met and made site suggestions. Jodi hopes to have new site this year. Awards: Roy Parsons reported that the committee will formulate a basic nomination form this year. Roy is also going to clean up the rules of the Distinguished member application. The committee feels that the Dairy Hall of Honors should be encouraged to have a booth here at the Expo to showcase the winners. Also that there should be some recognition of the outstanding dairy judging teams that Missouri has had over the years at the Dairy Hall. They also felt it would be good for the committee to do nominations for the dairy hall. Juniors: Lora Wright reported that she was re-elected President of the Missouri Holstein Junior Association. There were several members and adults attend the meeting. The junior All-MO points will remain the same – coming from state fair and district shows. The committee did recommend that the Jr. All-MO awards follow the June 1st transfer deadline that National Holstein uses for junior shows. This will be the requirement for juniors to receive All-MO awards. State Fair 20 points and District Show 16 points. Juniors competing in the Futurity will continue to receive $25 from the Jr Association. The juniorsalsochangedtheirstateDistinguishedJuniorformstomatchtheagequalificationsofthenationalforms.PrincessandMissruleswerechangedthat an individual may only run one time for each honor. If there is no one running, then the current Princess or Miss may continue for another year without any additional scholarship. Discussed National Convention this year in Michigan. The Juniors have voted to increase the amount of money competing kids receive towards registration fees. They will now split $1000 among the competing kids with each junior receiving a minimum of $100. We also received donations of extra funds that will be divided among the youth competing.
