On the cover
The Heart of America Dairy Forum was held January 25-26,
2013 in Springfield, Missouri. Over 300 dairy enthusiasts
from Arkansas, Kansas, Missouri and Oklahoma and 50 plus
exhibitors attended the meetings which featured seminars on
Nutrition, Dairy Policy Outlooks, Reproduction and Mastitis
issues. Missouri US Senator Roy Blunt was in attendance
and spent some time addressing the session and visiting with
attendees. The Friday afternoon session was highlighted by a
panel discussion of dairymen including Jeff Buckner, Stockton,
MO; Marilyn Calvin, Mount Vernon, MO; Stacey McCallister,
Mountain Grove, MO and John Schoen, Oak Ridge, MO. The
Dairy Forum was sponsored by the Missouri Dairy Association.
The June Mid-States will feature a round-up of the Spring
Shows, especially the 2013 Southern Spring National in
Stillwater, Oklahoma. Also, as a reminder, the June issue is
distributed to attendees at the National Holstein Convention in
Indiana this July.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the Strickler Family, Iola,
Kansas as they work to rebuild after a devastating fire in January. They were able to relocate the milking herd to other operations in Kansas as they rebuild their facilities.

From the Field ...
“And on the 8th day, God looked down on his
planned paradise and said, ‘I need a caretaker’. So God made a farmer.”
To all the farmers out there: I want to say
thank you for all you do. You’re diligent in your
labor, working from sunrise to sunset. You
care about your family and your cows, before
you care about yourself. You’ll put in the extra
hours, and money, to ensure a local youth has
a heifer to show at the county show with the showmanship skills
you passed on. You’ll walk away from a warm dinner to help the
neighbors put their cows back in the pasture. And you support
your organizations, like Holstein Association, USA; so we want
to thank you.
You work hard and need more bang for your buck as feed
and operating costs continue to rise. Your Regional Representatives are here to ensure you are getting the proper services
and are partnered with the correct programs for your operation’s goals…and to stretch your dollar! Many of you are familiar
with Holstein COMPLETE that allows many services to bundled
together to offer you savings. Let’s take a look:
• Cost for 100 registered cows on Holstein COMPLETE= $1650
• Value for 100 registered cows on Holstein COMPLETE=$2405
• Savings on COMPLETE vs a la carte services=$755!
On top of these savings there are several things you can implement to ensure you are getting the best available pricing like:
• Keep state and national memberships current
• Register calves at 3 months or younger
• Complete transfers within 30 days of sale
• Use Holstein’s EASY program with tag ID to receive a $1
discount on animals under 6 months old
• Work with Holstein for our cattle marketing networks
Also on Holstein COMPLETE you can take advantage of 5%
off genomic testing along with a $6 off benefit for each animal
you register over your COMPLETE cap for the year! This is a
great incentive to use up the full COMPLETE benefit in registering up to your cap, because anything over your cap will allow
you a $6 credit to go towards next year’s COMPLETE cost. Last
year Holstein Association, USA had a very successful year registering 362,669 head, which was an increase of 2,520 from 2011!
This year we have visions for 400,000 registrations, so there is
no better time to take advantage of the $6 off benefit. You have
the opportunity to add value to your herd with increased registered numbers AND support your organization with this goal…
all while stretching that dollar. If you have a COMPLETE cap
of 100 animals, but register 200 animals for the year, this will
allow you more animals to market from your herd followed by a
$600 credit for next year’s COMPLETE!
We understand each dairy operation has different goals, but
as Holstein Association, USA members we all have the same
goals to add value to our cattle, be a part of progressive dairy
producers network to have a voice for dairy affairs, and to support our organization. So with Holstein operating as your partner, I encourage you to contact your Regional Representative
today and ask us how you can support your organization to
reach 400,000 registrations in 2013 and we’d be glad to assist
in designing a program to fit your needs as a farmer, and as a
dairy producer.
Here’s to an abundant year!

National Director Notes ...
As we sit here and await the outcome of the Big 12 basketball
race and the snow to melt it is time to start thinking about the
start of the spring show and sale season. The Southern National Show and Oklahoma Sale essentially kick off the nationwide
season. What an opportunity! This allows us the first chance
to take a good hard look at our show strings and maybe add to
it with the animals the sale staff has worked so hard to put together. I’ve always found it easier to give Bobby what he wants
rather then have him sit in the yard pouting.
On the National side of things at Holstein it turned out to be
a very good year financially. The number of animals registered
was up again this year as was the number of Complete herds.
In these tough times it is good to see management work hard
to cut costs and yet keep a great and affordable product for all
dairymen to take advantage of.
With April coming up it also looks like we will finally be able
to genomic test our own bulls. HAUSA is now taking orders to
send in samples. However at this time we still do not know what
the pricing schedule for this will be. As of today there still has
not been a signed agreement on where the genomic evaluations
and how they will all be handled in place. As part of the Board
we all have held fast to the notion that we are looking out for
ALL dairymen. These are OUR animals and we should have the
right to the evaluations and should not have to pay any extra to
test what is ours. The consensus of the Board has been to take
our time through this process and get it right. We have felt that
any time you are forced into doing something that doesn’t seem
right most of the time there are actions that will probably benefit
someone much more then the other.
This has turned out to be quite a job with this DDA. There
seems to be no clear cut answers. I guess it is just one of the
perks of the job!
See you at Stillwater

Holstein Offers Genomic
Testing For Males
Holstein Association USA is accepting orders for genomic testing
kits for males, with evaluations expected to be available starting
with the April 2013 official evaluation.
The Cooperative Research and Development Agreement
(CRADA) between USDA and the Cooperative Dairy DNA Repository (CDDR, composed of seven A.I. organizations), which
restricts breeders from receiving genomic evaluations on bulls,
expires on Friday, March 1. Although the Council on Dairy Cattle Breeding (CDCB) recently voted to charge a service fee for all
animals being genomic tested, Holstein Association USA will not
be charging any additional fees until defined mechanisms are
put into place to account and collect such fees. Holstein USA
will continue to charge the same fees for testing any Holstein,
male or female. As a reminder, following are the Holstein USA’s
genomic testing fees for U.S. breeders:
GGP-LD (9K SNP Test): $45
GGP-HD (77K SNP Test): $125
Additionally, Holstein COMPLETE herds receive a 5% credit for
any genomic tests ordered. Genomic testing forms and DNA
samples should be received at the lab by March 1 for the best
chance in being included in the April genetic evaluation. Visit
www.holsteinusa.com for more information about our genomic
testing options.
As more details become available, we will keep breeders
informed by posting information on the web site, at www.holsteinusa.com. To order genomic testing kits, call Customer Service at 800.952.5200, or email [email protected].

Jerry King
Jerry R. King, 78 of Butler, passed away
February 23, 2013 at his home near Butler.
Mr. King was born January 7, 1935 in
Butler, son of Richard H. and Mary Irene
(Showalter) King. He graduated from Adrian
High School in 1953. In high school Jerry
served as FFA president as well as FFA State
Farmer and FFA American Farmer. He went on
to the University of Missouri, where he earned
a Bachelor of Science Degree in Agriculture
in 1957. In college, he served on the University’s Dairy Judging
Team and was president of the Agriculture Club; he was also
vice-president of his fraternity, Alpha Gamma Sigma. Jerry also
served as president of Ruf Nex.
On June 16, 1956, Mr. King was united in marriage to Jeanette
Davis; they had been married 57 years at the time of his passing.
Among many notable endeavors, Jerry will perhaps be remembered best as a Dairy Farmer; and proudly as a State Representative for Missouri’s 125th District, to which he was elected
in 1998 and remained until 2004.
Jerry began dairy farming with his brother-in-law, Edward
H. Steele, in 1957, milking 270 registered Holstein cows daily.
They formed a family corporation in 1972, Steele & King Farms,
Inc. Jerry’s son Rick joined the corporation in 1980. In 1994, the
Steele and King families were given the Missouri State Fair Family
Recognition Award. From 1974 to 1984, the farming operation
included a registered Angus and Simmental herd.
The organization and operation of the Bates County Fair was of
great importance to King, prompting him to serve as Chairman of
the organization committee in 1972, and continuing as President
of the Bates County Fair Board 1973-78. Jerry’s involvement
and contributions to the field of agriculture, dairy farming, and
education in both was extensive. At the local level, He was a 4H
leader from 1960-80.
Mr. King served on the board of directors and later as president
of the Missouri Holstein Association. In the National Holstein Association, Jerry served at different times as a board member, and
also chairman of the field operations and finance committees. He
served on the board of the Mid-American Dairymen (Kansas City
Division), the Dairy Farmers of America (DFA) Central Council
Division 3, as well as the Executive Committee of the Kansas City
Area Dairy Council and the World Dairy Exposition, Board of Directors. Jerry had been an approved Holstein judge since 1970,
and his judging took him to national and state fairs throughout
Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, Arkansas, Tennessee, and he cooperated with the U.S. Foreign Agriculture Service and the HFA
in Colombia, Ecuador, Honduras, Mexico, and Peru. Jerry also
served on the advisory committee of the Missouri State Fair. Jerry
volunteered overseas in a cooperative assistance assignment to
Russia in an effort to help dissolve collective farms in 1994.
His extensive involvement in not only agriculture programs
and education but local and statewide community organizations,
helped him become elected in 1998 to the Missouri General Assembly, where he represented the 125th district. His committee
memberships included the committee for elections, Children,
Families & Health, Retirement, Conservation, State Parks and
Mining, and also Agriculture. He was later appointed to the National Beef Board by the Secretary of Agriculture in 2004, and was
appointed by the Governor as a Commissioner to the Missouri
State Fair the same year.
Mr. King was honored throughout his life with awards in recognition of his extensive efforts. Among them, MU Alumni Citation
of Merit, Butler Chamber of Commerce Man of the Year 1974, and
in 1981, received a Missouri Chamber of Commerce Appreciation Award. He was awarded Missouri Dairy Hall of Honors Man
of the Year in 1983. In 1995, Steele & King Farms was honored

Dairy Policy Discussion
Continues in New Farm Bill
Dairy producers will seek a new safety net when farm bill
discussions restart in Congress, said a University of Missouri
dairy economist at the recent USDA Agricultural Outlook Forum.
Current proposals look more like insurance than price programs
of the past. But with financial binds in Washington, there are
no easy answers, said Scott Brown of the MU Department of
Agricultural and Applied Economics.
“With rapidly rising feed costs, dairy interest turned to a margin
insurance plan,” said Brown. That’s a shift by milk producers
from years of price-support programs in the federal act. One
thing is certain: There will be less federal money for any new
policy compared to past levels. “Projected CCC (Commodity Credit
Corporation) outlays for current dairy policy declines yet again,”
Brown said.
He added that it is too early in the 2013 farm bill process to
know where dairy policy might fit in.
Congress has many issues to settle before farm bill debate
begins, Brown said. “Budget clarity is a big issue.”
With scant money, any federal dairy policy might have little
impact in helping producers hard hit by economic turmoil in
recent years.
To put dollar power in focus, Brown did the math. Last year,
USDA estimated 2012 dairy cash receipts at $37 billion. A billion
with a “B.” For the expected 10-year farm bill, the Congressional
Budget Office lays out dairy spending at $28.4 million a year. A
million with an “M.”
Dairy spending compared to receipts is less than one percent:
Actually, 0.08 percent. Brown told policy analysts, “An effective
program is hard with such small annual outlays.”
Policymakers seek a balance that attracts producers to the
program yet doesn’t overspend federal dollars. If the first proposal
fails, either way, that means reopening policy talks in 2014 or
2015. Dairy groups know the situation and propose legislation
based on margin protection instead of prices.
“Margin protection helps reduce government outlays,” Brown
said. “They are triggered less often than price supports.”
The biggest threat to dairy profits remains high feed costs and
price volatility, Brown said. Margins help producers, as that is
what is left to pay all costs, beyond feed.
Margin protection is based on milk price less feed costs. The
feed costs and milk production are negatively correlated. That
is, as feed costs go up, producers tend to feed less. That cuts
milk production. In turn, milk prices turn upward. Economic
adjustment by dairy farmers help ease demand on federal dollars.
For policymakers, calculating margin protection will be tricky,
Brown said. Margins have fallen in recent years. That raises the
question of the “correct” margin to use in the dairy bill. Some
margin proposals from 2012 could have led to surplus milk.
“We need to be careful to use correct triggers,” he added. “These
are tough issues to score. It’s the difference between spending
millions—or billions. “Program details are always important,”
Brown said. “This new margin program has many facets. But,
done right, producers gain program flexibility.”
Like insurance, producers would gain options to buy
supplemental coverage. This is both important and attractive to
producers.
Dairy groups were first to come forth with plans to stabilize
dairy prices—and reduce federal spending. Both dairy producers
and manufacturers were talking policy before farm bill work
started in Congress. However, none of the spending-cut proposals
made it into discussions in the congressional fiscal cliff vote.
“Dairy proposals represent a major policy shift. Change of this
nature will be hard,” Brown said. “We should never lose sight that
our goal is an adequate safety net for farmers.”

MO Right to Farm Gains Steam
The Missouri State House of Representatives passed HJR
7&11, the constitutional right to farm in late February with an
overwhelming 110 yes to 41 no vote. The legislation now goes to
the State Senate for consideration. The legislation began as two
separate bills - HJR 7 and HJR 11 but the bills were combined in
committee. Rep. Jason Smith and Rep. Bill Reiboldt sponsored
HJR 7 and HJR 11 respectively.
Leaders from both parties praised the passage of Right to
Farm. Republican Speaker Tim Jones said “The economy is
still lagging and we need to ensure that agriculture, our state’s
number one industry, is protected from outside attacks. I
understand how important this industry is to our state and to
all citizens that benefit from Missouri’s food production. I was
proud to cosponsor HJR 7 and I look forward to voting for this
amendment in the ballot box next year.”
Democratic Rep. Ed Schieffer said “It was my privilege to cosponsor HJR 7 & 11. These will protect the right to farm. My
family has farmed 80 acres in Lincoln County for over 100 years.
We must protect the right of continuing traditional agriculture.
Missouri Farmers Care testified in support of HJR 7&11 in
committee and Missouri Farmers Care Chairman Don Nikodim
said “This is a great step forward for Missouri agriculture.
Agriculture is Missouri’s largest industry and we need the
freedom to operate to continue providing jobs and food to our
state.”
If passed by the Senate, HJR 7&11 would be referred to the
voters as a ballot question in 2014. A similar constitutional
amendment to protect farming and ranching practices, Measure
3, was adopted in North Dakota in 2012 with a 66.89% yes vote.

MO Dairy of Honors President Dave Cochard
presents Zane Akins with a Leadership Award.
MO Dairy of Honors President Dave Cochard
shares with award winner John Underwood.
James Cash Penney, Jr., (J.C. Penney)
is known world-wide for his retail skills and
Golden Rule philosophy. But his contribution to the Guernsey breed especially the
University of Missouri Foremost Dairy herd
was the basis for his selection as a Pioneer
Dairy Leader. In 1952, Penney donated
his Foremost herd of 250 Guernseys, the
proceeds from the sale of his Emmadine
Farm in New York and $250,000 to the
University of Missouri dairy department.
To students and dairymen throughout
the state and country, Professor A.C.
Ragsdale was the face of the University of
Missouri for 42 years. In 1916, Ragsdale
was hired as an extension dairy specialist
for the MU Dairy Department before being
named its chairman in 1919. Ragsdale
served as President of the American Dairy
Science Association from 1944-1945 and
was a delegate to the International Dairy
Congress in 1953. For all his contributions
to education, research and leadership in
the dairy industry, Ragsdale was recognized with a Pioneer Award.
Also receiving a Pioneer Award was
Mary Thompson of Columbia. Thompson
represented the dairy industry for the St.
Louis Dairy Council for 23 years, specifically in central Missouri.
The Distinguished Dairy Cattle Breeder
Award was presented to the Lesmeister
Dairy Farm in Montrose, MO. A part-time
project of raising Holstein calves led to
building a Grade A dairy barn in 1985.
The family has been recognized with numerous show and breed awards, including
Lesmeister JW Carla, which placed 3rd in
the Sr. 2-Yr Old Jersey class at World Dairy
Expo in 2006.
Grand Champion
2013 MO Dairy Hall Honorees
The Missouri Dairy Hall of Honors recognized its 2013 class on February 8, 2013.
Former Holstein USA Chief Executive
Officer Zane Akins was honored with the
Dairy Leadership Award. Akins began his
dairy career as an A.I. technician for NOBA
before he joined Holstein as a program
director in Wisconsin. After serving as
manager for the Holstein Sire Development
Service for three years, he was served as
Holstein’s CEO from 1978 to 1990. Akins,
a graduate of the University of Missouri
was president of Alpha Gamma Rho Fraternity and placed third individually in the
National Collegiate Dairy Judging Contest.
For his tireless work to chronicle the
Holstein history of Missouri, John Underwood was honored with a Meritorious
Service Award. During 2012, Underwood
was instrumental in the publishing of Celebrating 100 Years of Missouri Holsteins
history book and authoring the Sires of
Distinction: The MFA Artificial Breeding
Association and Its Impact in Missouri
and the Nation 1946-1967. Underwood
was raised on a Registered Holstein farm
in southwest Missouri. He attended the
University of Missouri earning his Bachelor and Masters of Science degrees. He
continued his education at the University
of Illinois where he earned a PhD in Dairy
Cattle Nutrition.
