Bob and Nancy oversee Johnson Dairy, a 5th generation dairy farm near Baldwin, Wisconsin. Started in 1904 by Bob’s great great grandparents, the farm has grown from a 50 cow dairy milking in a tie stall barn to 330 milk cows and 400 replacement heifers. Bob and Nancy’s sons, Matt (28), Brad (27) and Pat (21) are all integral parts of the operation that make it truly a family farm. Growth has been gradual, the first free stall barn was built in 2005 for 150 cows. The parlor, a double 8 herringbone, was added the following year. Since then, the Johnsons have added a dry cow barn consisting of free stalls with sand bedding and another free stall barn in 2014 which has mattresses and sawdust bedding. Bob, Brad and Bob’s nephew, Mitch take care of the milking duties while Nancy and Pat care for the calves and heifers. The Johnsons also have a daughter, Jessica, who fills in on the farm as needed as well as 13 month old grandson, Kayden, who will be L-R: Brad, Pat, Bob, Kayden, Nancy and Matt Johnson learning the ropes soon. During the summer, Pat operates a custom square baling business in addition to the family’s 1,500 acres of corn, soybeans and alfalfa. Today, Johnson Dairy has a RHA of 25,500# and milks mainly Holsteins with a few Jersey, Guernsey and Fleckvieh mixed in. Larcrest Carabella Out of high school, Matt and Brad sparked an interest in genomic breeding and have since Larcrest Constance purchased a number of females to build that base. High genomic breeding is the process of pulling DNA on young calves to determine their future production and breeding them based on that information. Their first cow they purchased was Morningview Goldwyn Lidia, since then they have purchased Larcrest Constance and “It’s amazing how it settles the plastic down as you are covering” North]”, he said. Another product the Johnsons use are RSI calf pens. Their calves are housed in indoor pens from birth to 2 months old. While not exclusively an “RSI farm”, they have been very pleased with the pens. “If the calves work them hard enough they can get the gates open on the other pens but not the RSI ones, they are designed different,” Brad noted. Looking toward the future, Bob says they would like to add more cows to the dairy as well as look at updating their grain facility. They currently have Larcrest Carabella which have become important parts of their breeding program. The boys flush 4-6 cows per month and have exported embryos as far away as Japan, Spain, Italy and other parts of Europe. Bob noted, “We have about 20-25 bulls in stud stations now as well as bulls for sale on the farm.” In 2011, the Johnsons switched from bagging their forages to a bunker system. Currently they have 2-50’x150’ and 1- 40’x150’ bunker that are covered with Secure Covers. The main factors involved in the purchase of Secure Covers are the lack of tires needed and the labor savings. “They [Secure Covers] are working extremely well and we are very happy with them,” said Bob. “It is amazing how it settles the plastic down as you are covering. We can cover a 50’x150’ bunker in an hour”. Bob and Brad agree that spoilage has not been an issue although they were concerned initially upon switching from bags to bunkers and hearing horror stories from other producers. In the winter, they have found it easiest to take off the Secure Cover sheets prior to a storm coming to make removal easier. storage capacity for 50,000 bushels of grain. When asked why they farm Bob and the boys toted, “Farming is what we like to do and we don’t know any different!” The look of Johnson Dairy has changed a lot over the years, like all of the farm community but working as a family still remains central to this Wisconsin farm. The Johnsons have also been a long-standing Up North Plastic customer. Starting in 2005, Bob began renting Kelly Ryan silage baggers and filled Up North bags with their forages. Since switching to bunkers, they continue to use Up North bunker covers and rent a Renn Roller Mill to process their high moisture corn. “We have never had a tear in one and have been very pleased [with Up Do you know a producer doing something new or innovative in your area?

Wrapping your hay also allows you to improve the nutritional value of your feed by reducing leaf loss in the harvest process because of the higher moisture level.

One area that the program has helped our dairy is clean up. When we first started out with Feed Supervisor, our clean ups were around 1012%. Now we’re closer to 3%. We use Feed Supervisor daily to keep our clean ups low. Each day we weigh the clean up amounts. Twice a month, we print off the Clean Up Tracking Report from Feed Supervisor and go over the data. Find the Perfect System for You! As an incentive program, our feeder gets cash based on how efficiently he feeds in regard to clean up. The program has saved us over $30,000 this year, just by monitoring clean up and making changes based on those numbers. Manual System: Feed Supervisor® Software can be used as a standalone software that can create batch sheets, monitors inventory and cleanup through manual data entry into the program. By dropping clean up, we have lowered our feed costs dramatically and our cows are actually milking more because we have a better grasp on how much to feed our cows. Scale Interface: Feed Supervisor® Software can be connected to a Avery Weigh Tronix 2040 indicator. Information like batches mixed and clean-up weights are recorded and sent back to the PC wirelessly or manually via USB drive. Our consultants can use the program and make suggestions based on the data. This program is easy to use and is an excellent tool for making decisions based on accurate information. Touch Screen Feeding: The FS»Touch touch screen feeding system also works with the Avery Weigh Tronix 640 indicator and connects the activities your TMR to your PC.

I find them both very comfortable, especially when I wear them with the Quatro Socks (awesome socks!). I also bought an extra pair of Quatro insoles so if I sweat through the original one in the boot, I just remove it and replace it with the spare insole while the other one dries out. It works slick. The boots have held up really well for me. I think the Quatros are a great product.” Jonathan McConnell MiConnell Farms Rosebush, MI Buy 12 pair of Thorlos or Quatro Socks and get the 13th pair FREE! 54 800-796-5333 | www.afsBagMan.com | Quatro® Comfort System Insole Earthtec® Orthotic Insole The secret to all day comfort is in the Quatro Comfort System Insole!

A cocky State Highways employee stopped at a farm and talked with an old farmer. He told the farmer, “I need to inspect your farm for a possible new road.” The old farmer said, “OK, but don’t go in that field.” The Highways employee said, “I have the authority of the State Government to go where I want. See this card? I am allowed to go wherever I wish on farm land.” So the old farmer went about his farm chores. Later, he heard loud screams and saw the State Highways employee running for the fence and close behind was the farmer’s prize bull. The bull was madder than a nest full of hornets and the bull was gaining on the employee at every step!! The old farmer called out, “Show him your card!!” 62 800-796-5333 | www.afsBagMan.com | A Favorite at Bag Man’s House!

Bag Man Fun 32 oz Tater Tots, divided 1 lb ground beef 1 cup chopped onion 2tsp Worcestershire sauce 2 tsp Montreal-style seasoning 1 tsp garlic powder Never slap a man who’s chewing tobacco. Never kick a cow chip on a hot day. There are two theories to arguing with a woman... neither works. Never miss a good chance to shut up. Always drink upstream from the herd. If you find yourself in a hole, stop digging. The quickest way to double your money is to fold it and put it back in your pocket. There are three kinds of men: ones that learn by reading, few who learn by observation and the rest of them have to pee on the electric fence and find out for themselves. Good judgment comes from experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgment. If you’re riding ahead of the herd, take a look back every now and then to make sure it’s still there. Lettin’ the cat outta’ the bag is a whole lot easier ‘n puttin’ it back. And finally: After eating an entire bull, a mountain lion felt so good he started roaring. He kept it up until a hunter came along and shot him... The moral: When you’re full of bull, keep your mouth shut.
