Hello, Harford County!
University of

on the farm, from crops germinating in the fields
to calves on the ground in the barn. For my

The creation of new life is something to
M—F 8:00 a.m—4:30 p.m. behold, but also amazing is the ability of
mammals – the milk producers – to nourish new
Extension.umd.edu/harford-county
life. When you think of milk, what comes to
facebook.com/HarfordAg
mind? For me, the first thought is the cold
gallon in my refrigerator. But to a newborn
Sara BhaduriHauck
animal (or human), milk is something more
Ag Extension Educator
than that. It’s a unique and dynamic lifeline
that provides one hundred percent of their
sbh@umd.edu
required nutrients – as well as crucial
antibodies – for the first weeks of life.
With the exception of poultry, all of our
farm
animals start their lives dependent on

equal: the milk an animal produces is

content varies widely between species. Cow
milk contains, on average, 3.8% fat. (Fat

animals is similar.) But milk from gray seals,

much higher percentage of fat – 53.2%,

species. Cow milk is much higher in casein (a
protein) than human milk, for example, because
calves grow much faster than human babies and
require more protein to fuel that growth.
A single animal’s milk also changes during
the course of lactation to meet the changing
needs of her growing baby. The first milk
secreted after birth, called colostrum, is high in
antibodies needed to help establish a new
baby’s immune system. After the first days of
life, colostrum is replaced by mature milk,
which has a different nutrient profile. But the
nature of mature milk isn’t constant, either. The
amount of fat, protein, and carbohydrate as
well as the volume of milk produced shifts to
match the developing needs of the nursling.
These changes occur whether the animal is
nursing her young or being mechanically milked,
like a dairy cow.
Milk production takes a lot of energy –
sometimes double what’s needed for
maintenance. Animals in lactation require more
energy than those in late gestation or those
who are heavily exercising, such as race horses.
To put it in human terms, an average mom on a
2,000 calorie per day diet needs to consume an
extra 500 calories per day while breastfeeding.
Fat reserves deposited during pregnancy
provide even more energy above the extra
caloric intake. In fact, milk production uses just
as much, or more, energy then the brain does!
Think back to that gallon of milk in your
refrigerator – it’s a homogenized, standardized
food product that’s been processed to be
exactly like the gallon next to it. As a product
for human consumption, the way we process,
sell, and use milk works. But don’t let that
gallon in your refrigerator define your idea of
milk. Milk is a complex, miraculous substance
that shouldn’t be underestimated!

recommendations. Brochures about proper sampling
techniques are available at the Extension office and
on our Agricultural Nutrient Management Program
website. Visit extension.umd.edu/anmp, choose “Plan

If you have
questions or
need paper
copies of
these
brochures, I
will be glad
to help.
Following are
some
questions I
have
received on
sampling.
Why are my soil analysis showing my fields to be high in
phosphorus when I am not over applying?
How are you sampling your fields? In one case, the
operator had taken samples at a depth of only 3 inches!
Soil phosphorus sometimes accumulates in the top few
inches of soil, especially in no-till fields. It is necessary
to sample at a depth of 8 because the University of
Maryland recommendations are all based on sampling
at an 8 inch depth.
My soil sample analysis is showing high phosphorus. I
applied manure but only lightly, and I did not fertilize.
How can this happen?
When did you sample in relation to when you applied?
In this case, the manure was applied two months
before sampling. In general it is recommended to wait 6
months after a manure application before sampling
soils. Lesser amounts of time between a manure
application and sampling can cause a false high in
phosphorus1.
My soil sampling results are not what I expected.
In this case, I would recommend calling the lab
immediately. They can check to see if samples were
mixed up or even re-run the testing. (Don’t wait; they
cannot keep submitted samples long.) A few years ago I
questioned the results of an analysis for soil and found
out that the manure sample was tested as soil. The labs
have been helpful when investigating questionable data
so don’t hesitate to call.

MDA Releases Preliminary Data on Soil P Levels
The Maryland Department of Agriculture
announced that based on statewide soil test
information 82 percent of farm fields tested to date will
not be impacted by new environmental regulations,
which may limit phosphorus application or the use of
animal manure as a fertilizer. Eighteen percent of farm
fields will require use of the phosphorus management
tools to evaluate risk. Only 1 percent of all farm fields
are immediately banned from applying phosphorus
crop fertilizer. The phosphorus in poultry and dairy
manure will impact its use as a crop nutrient in these
situations.
“We are pleased that we finally have real, accurate
soil phosphorus data from cropland across the state
and not estimates or formulas based on modeling
scenarios. In the long term, this data, which will be
regularly collected, will enable the department to track
progress as farmers implement the PMT and additional
best management practices on their farms,” said
Agriculture Secretary Joe Bartenfelder. “This data
collection will also guide the department to ensure we
have the resources needed to provide financial and
technical support for farmers to implement the PMT.”
The data is based on analysis from 875,622 acres
compiled to date throughout the state and show 82
percent of farmland in Maryland has soil phosphorus
levels that fall below PMT thresholds. These fields,
according to soil tests, have a Fertility Index Value
under 150. Poultry litter and dairy manure can be
applied as fertilizer to these fields in accordance with
Maryland’s nutrient management regulations. The
acreage reported to date represents about 70 percent
of farmland required to submit soil phosphorus data to
the department.
While 18 percent of farmland is impacted by the
PMT regulations, most farm fields are not at risk for
phosphorus loss and may still benefit from manure as a
crop fertilizer. Two thirds of farm fields on the Lower
Eastern Shore have soil phosphorus levels that will
require use of PMT and 11 percent or 8,700 acres on
the Lower Eastern Shore are restricted from any
phosphorus application. However, every region in
Maryland has at least a few hundred farm acres with
soil phosphorus levels over 500 FIV – prohibiting
further phosphorus application.
The following summarizes the Soil Phosphorus
Fertility Index Value (FIV) statewide data results
compiled to date from Maryland farmland:
 FIV less than 150: 82 percent (714,162 acres)
– These fields are not required to run PMT.
 FIV 150-299: 13 percent (115,557 acres)
 FIV 300-450: 4 percent (30,683 acres)
 FIV 450-499: 0.6 percent (4,780 acres)
 FIV greater than 500: 1.2 percent (10,441 acres)
– These fields are banned from applying
phosphorus.

Selling Timber? Call Before You Cut
Maryland has more than 2.5 million acres of woodlands, and the
majority are owned and managed by private landowners. Many
understand that successfully managing their property occasionally
means cutting some trees for the overall health of the woods, but may
have little knowledge about how best to do so. Now they have access
to a free program that can help them make informed decisions about
the timber harvesting process. The “Call Before You Cut” program
offers professional assistance to landowners considering timber sales.
Landowners can receive complimentary information by visiting the
website www.callb4ucut.com/maryland and selecting “Request Info,”
or by calling 301-432-2767 x315.
Increasing Visibility of Equipment on Public Roads
By Linda M. Fetzer and Dennis J. Murphy, Pennsylvania State University
You must be extremely cautious when moving agricultural equipment on public roadways.
Tractors and agricultural implements typically travel on roadways at speeds of less than 25 mph. Other motor
vehicles travel at faster speeds, and many motorists do not realize the amount of braking time necessary to avoid
rear-end collisions. To reduce the risk of such collisions, state motor vehicle regulations require that agricultural
equipment on public roadways be highly visible to motor vehicles approaching from behind. Your farm
equipment should be visible to other motorists from the greatest possible distance so that they will have ample
time to slow down.
(con’t…)
SMV Emblem
An SMV emblem is a highly reflective sign that should
be placed on the back of all tractors,towed implements,
and self-propelled implements. It is an equilateral
triangle at least 14 in. in height, made from a
fluorescent orange material (which provides visibility
during the day) and bordered by red retroreflective
material
(which
provides
visibility
at
night). The placement of an SMV emblem is critical to
its effectiveness. Adhere to the following guidelines
when affixing an SMV emblem:
 Place the emblem at the rear of the vehicle or
implement, with the triangle pointing upwards.
 As
much
as
possible,
center
the
emblem horizontally on the vehicle.
 Make sure the bottom edge of the triangle is from 2
to 10 ft. above the ground.
An SMV emblem can become covered with dirt; over
time, it can fade due to sun exposure. To maintain the
best reflective properties, regularly clean and replace
SMV emblems.
The only appropriate use of an SMV emblem is
to increase the visibility of agricultural equipment
traveling on public roadways. Do not use an SMV
emblem for any other purpose (such as marking a
driveway).
Speed Indicator Symbol
Some tractors can travel faster than 25 mph. Mount
a speed indicator symbol (SIS) on the rear of such
tractors to indicate their maximum speed. Some states
are now debating amending the SMV regulations to
encompass faster tractors.

Avoid Common Insurance Gaps Between Tenants and Landowners
By Sarah Everhart, Legal Specialist, University of Maryland Francis King Carey School of Law
In a typical tenant farming relationship, the
tenant farmer and the landowner commonly both
have liability insurance coverage. But how can a
landowner protect himself or herself from exposure
to liability for the acts of the tenant?
One simple protection for landowners is to be
listed as an additional insured on a tenant farmer’s
policy. A lapse in a tenant’s insurance coverage may
expose a landowner to unwanted liability. If a third
party seeks damages from a tenant farmer, only to
find out that the farmer’s insurance coverage has
lapsed, the third party will undoubtedly next seek
recovery from the landowner. A landowner can
prevent this liability exposure by being listed as an
additional insured on a tenant farmer’s insurance
policy. This will put the landowner on notice of any
lapses in the farmer’s insurance coverage. It is also
good practice for landowners to include in the farm
lease a provision for being listed as an additional
insured on a tenant’s insurance, with failure of the
farmer to do so resulting in a breach of lease.
Another
recommended
protection
for
landowners is to have a tenant farmer’s insurance
carrier issue a waiver of subrogation in favor of the
landowner. Subrogation means one party has the
right to "step into the shoes" of another party for the
purposes of bringing a claim for damages. A waiver of
subrogation is a special endorsement in an insurance
policy which prevents the insurer from seeking
restitution from a third party causing any kind of loss
to the insured. If a tenant farmer is involved in an
accident and files a claim, the tenant’s insurance
carrier may pay the claim but then step into the shoes
of the tenant through subrogation and seek recovery
from the landowner if they feel the landowner was to
blame for the accident. This can be an unwelcomed
surprise for a landowner who had no knowledge or
control over the accident that precipitated the
damage claim. If a waiver of subrogation is signed in
favor of the landowner before an accident, the tenant
farmer’s insurance carrier is prevented from seeking
recovery from the landowner. This type of waiver is
referred to as a unilateral waiver. Alternatively, a
landowner and tenant farmer may each choose to
execute mutual waivers of subrogation which would
prevent both insurers from seeking damages from the
respective parties.
To maintain a mutually beneficial working
relationship, landowners and tenant farmers should
address potential gaps in insurance coverage and take
preventative measures before the unfortunate
occurs.
