Organic courses to address interests of dairy support professionals
-- ST. PAUL - Recognizing the growing interest in organic dairy production, the Minnesota Department of Agriculture is cooperating with organizations in Minnesota and Wisconsin to offer “Organic Dairy 101: A Workshop for Dairy Support Professionals” at various locations in both states in early 2008. “Organic dairy products are flying off the shelves, and buyers are looking for more Midwest producers,” MDA organic and diversification specialist Meg Moynihan says. “Many professional dairy advisors would like to expand their client base to include organic dairy farms, but they have not been exposed to organic dairy production principles, methods, and requirements.” In 2008, four locations in Minnesota and three in Wisconsin will offer this daylong professional development workshop. Topics include organic certification-legal and practical requirements; livestock health and nutrition; economics; and organic dairy performance. The trainings will emphasize scientific understanding as well as practical experience. Wisconsin sessions will offer a special emphasis on organic livestock health management. The dates are Jan. 17, St. Cloud, Minn.; Feb. 5, Marshall, Minn.; Feb. 6, Madison, Wis.; Feb. 22, LaCrosse, Wis.; March 13, Clark County, Wis.; March 25, Rochester, Minn.; and March 27, McIntosh, Minn. Minnesota sessions have largely been planned by the Sustainable Farming Association of Minnesota, with assistance from Minnesota Dairy Initiative regional teams. In Wisconsin, the major organizer is the Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection. The Minnesota workshops cost $35 per person (early registration discounts available). The full brochure and registration form are available at www.mda.state.mn.us/food/organic or by calling (320) 226-6318. Wisconsin program materials are available at www.cias.wisc.

NATIONAL NEWS : Jury sides with Idaho ranchers in lawsuit over dead calves
-- TWIN FALLS, Idaho - A south-central Idaho ranch has been awarded $112,500 after a Twin Falls County, Idaho, jury agreed with the co-owners that Minnesota-based Land O'Lakes Inc. supplied tainted powdered milk formula that killed 130 calves. The jury found Oct. 26 that the company was responsible for the deaths at the J&J Calf Ranch. “The last thing we ever thought is that it would be the milk,” ranch co-owner John Reitsma says. “We thought milk was milk.” David Maguire, a Pocatello, Idaho-based attorney for Land O'Lakes, says he's preparing to request a retrial based on the jury finding that unhealthy conditions at the ranch might have led to the deaths of some of the calves. Reitsma says he first noticed a higher than normal death rate among calves in 2005. He said female calves were being afflicted, and that they were being fed the powdered milk formula supplied by Land O'Lakes. Reitsma says male calves drank government surplus milk and did fine, and that when he took the female calves off the powered milk from O'Lakes milk their health improved. It is unclear what might have been wrong with the powdered milk.
