Field Day Features Dairy Farm KUTZTOWN (Berks Co.) - Roman Stoltzfoos, a dairy farmer in Gap, was impressed by the nutrient management system on New Zealand dairy farms during a visit in early 1997. Stoltzfoos has been imple menting practical components of the New Zealand grazing and nutrient management system that are appropriate for his 200- acre dairy farm. This summer, he added another component to improve the milkhouse waste and barnyard run off manage ment. This system and how it fits in with grazing will be discussed as part of the Field Day which Stoltzfoos is hosting on his farm on Tuesday, Sept. 29. Also fea tured will be a discussion of sep tic system management prac tices to protect water quality, and electrical clean grounding systems. The field day will begin at 10 a.m. and conclude by 3 p.m. at the Stoltzfoos farm locat ed at 1143 Gap Rd. Part of the New Zealand approach to nutrient manage ment on a dairy farm is to man age the cows in a fashion that keeps the amount of manure in the barnyard to a minimum. Stoltzfoos, in his sixth year of grazing, follows this approach by keeping his cows out on pas ture as much as possible. By moving toward seasonal milking with the cows being dry during the winter, he is able to keep cows on pasture through- Customized Dairy Consulting Services From George Cudoc, PA DHIA Consulting Dairyman Web Site: http://www.dhia.psu.edu For more information call PA DHIA at 1-800-DHI-TEST Environmental Practices (»Ms> out the year as long as the ground is fit. The improved barnyard will provide a place to keep the cows clean and protect the pasture when the ground is too soft for cattle to be on the pasture. Stoltzfoos plans to add a milking parlor in the future which will allow him to milk his 95-cow herd in an hour Reducing the time cows spend at the barn for milking will mini mize manure at the barn. Nutrients in the liquids from the barnyard and milkhouse will be collected in the newly installed earthen basin, and used to irri gate the pasture. Stoltzfoos installed the barn yard run off and milkhouse waste system this summer as a participant in the Environmental Quality Initiative (EQI). This farm is one of two EQI demon stration projects. Technical assistance for the project was provided by the Lancaster County Conservation District and the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service. The EQI is a pilot program developed by the Dairy Network Partnership. The EQI program features an EQI mark that can be found on milk products. By purchasing milk labeled with the EQI mark, environmentally minded consumers are able to join dairy farmers who share their concerns for protecting our natural resources.
