Update: Dairy Farmers’ Movement for Change
Week of August 20, 2009
From: United States Dairy Farmers
United We Stand…Coast to Coast usdairyfarmers@yahoo.com

The latest from New York….
5 items, 3 with Calls for Action:
*Summary of Aug. 14 Rally
– Roger’s Allen Act (NY Producers) – Call for Action Item
– $60 million stimulus $ (NY Producers) – Call for Action Item
– Sen. Gillibrand Hearing Aug. 27 in Batava, N.Y. – Call for Action Item
*Support Price Increase Fall-Out
*MILC
*Propel Healthcare Talk to Dairy Talking Points
*Comment to Department of Justice: Tell their stories about how antitrust abuses, concentration and consolidation have personally affected you and your farm

1. Summary of Aug. 14 Rally
by Tammy Graves

Almost unanimous support in the crowd of 200 for Federal Milk Marketing Improvement Act of 2009 (s.1645)

1) NY Ag Commissioner, Pat Hooker, realizes he must do something. Rogers Allen Act – over-order pricing – maybe $0.25 to $.50
2) NY Senator Seward says they are pursuing a repeat of the 2006-2007 Dairy Reinvestment Program with stimulus money received by NY. In ’06-07, the program distributed $30 million. This amount being pursued is $60 million so it would be double the payment dairy farmers received in ’06-07.
3) Sen. Gillibrand upcoming hearings for long-term milk pricing solutions is Aug. 27 at Genesee County Community College in Batavia. 2-4 p.m.
4) Price support increase will not mean anything if the processors/manufacturers do not sell to the government

The Willows Edge Sale was held yesterday, Monday, August 17th on a gorgeous summer day in New Richmond, WI. A large crowd gathered at the farm and saw 69 lots pass through the ring for an average of $3,338.

Topping the sale at $12,000 was Lot #7 – a first choice Man-O-Man due in March, 2010 from Elk-Creek-Acres TS Linnaeus, a VG-87 VG-MS Toystory daughter backed by three VG & EX dams. A full brother to the choice is contracted to Accelerated Genetics and the choice was purchased by Pierre Boulet of Montmagny, Quebec.

Second high at $11,100 was the first choice Goldwyn out of Willows-Edge Lee Velcro (EX-93 EEEEE), the All-American Junior 3-Year-Old in 2007. Cowtown Holsteins of Derby, VT claimed the choice which was Lot 1 in the catalog. They already own a Kite daughter of Velcro that just went VG as a junior two-year-old.

Meyervilla Talent Trilby-ET, an EX-92 Talent daughter, sold for $10,700 to Voight Acres Holsteins of Shiocton, WI – good for third high and the top live seller. Her dam, Early-Autumn Tutone (VG-86) has sons in AI and a pile of Very Good and Excellent daughters. Fresh in June, Trilby sold milking 120# a day.
