Expect to win. Whatever you're doing, believe you will succeed.
Celebrate small victories. Build confidence by recognizing small wins. It may give you the gumption to work harder and believe that you can do greater things.
Focus on what you get to do, not what you have to do. Think of life and work as gifts, not chores. This may help you commit to the task and appreciate the process.

10 Food We Should Eat Everyday
Eggs, green tea, garlic, grapefruit, yogurt, avocado, quinoa, bell peppers, almonds, swiss chard
These ten foods are the ten most perfect foods on the planet and are capable of helping boost metabolism and melt fat. The foods are also capable of fighting disease, lowering cholesterol, stabilizing blood sugar and these foods also help to provide us with a longer, better life.
All of these foods together or separate are fantastic in a daily healthy-eating plan.
Eggs:serve a fried egg over a whole-wheat English muffin
Swiss chard:chop leaves and saute in olive oil, garlic and chili flakes
Grapefruit:Chop the fruit over a leafy salad
Quinoa:the go-to starchy staple:toss boiled grains with wilted spinach leaves
Green tea:great start to the day, make a smoothie with chilled green tea instead of juice
Bell peppers:use bell peppers instead of tortilla chips
Yogurt:use yogurt instead of mayonnaise in your next potato salad
Almonds:sprinkle crushed almonds over cereal or salad
Avocado:stuff slices into omelets
Garlic:mix minced garlic with chopped parsley and fresh lemon zest for a bright topping for pasta and grilled meat

Cool, Calm and Decluttered
At Kylecrest Holsteins LLC we are looking forward to spring. This is a perfect time to take charge of our destiny and to reserve the positive information for American consumers that want to make the right choices about wholesome dairy products. Most of the misinformation about agriculture and dairy farmers is generated and passed on because there are many people out there that are not happy with what they are doing and need to knock someone else down. The best message I would give to other farmers is to stay focused, straightforward, cool and clean out the clutter! Time is so important that it isn't worth the time spending it by addressing the people that don't want to listen.

Sustaining America's Dairyland
You might not realize the cows you see while driving through Wisconsin's pristine countryside play a huge part in strengthening our communities. Each of Wisconsin's 1,263,000 dairy cows generates more than $20,000 a year in local economic activity.
These dollars help:
Support local businesses
Improve our roads, schools and universities
Provide jobs and grow local economies

Dairy products are very important in a healthy eating plan!
Both organic and regular dairy products contain the same combination of nutrients that makes dairy products an important part of a healthy diet, including calcium, vitamin D and potassium.
Whether people choose regular or organic, they should feel good about consuming all varieties of milk, cheese and yogurt as part of a healthy, balanced diet.
Organic milk is one choice among many in the dairy case that can help people meet the government’s recommended three servings a day of milk and milk products.

Milk is Milk! - Just remember to drink some every day!
Hormones (rbST)
· Studies show that milk from animals treated with the supplemental hormone rbST is the same wholesome product that we have enjoyed for generations. This has been affirmed and reaffirmed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), among other leading health organizations.
· All milk naturally contains very small amounts of hormones, and science shows there is no significant difference in hormone levels between organic and regular milk. (Vicini, J et al. Survey of retail milk composition as affected by label claims regarding farm-management practices. Journal of the American Dietetic Association. 2008; 108: 1198-1203.)

Feeding Cows for Wholesome Healthy Milk
While some studies have found a limited increase in specific components in milk from cows that eat certain kinds of grass and clover, there’s no reason to think that such small differences would impact human health.
These components, CLA, short-chain omega-3 fatty acids (beneficial fats) and antioxidants are typically found in such small amounts in milk that it’s not difficult to present statistics that demonstrate large percentage increases.
It’s important to note that organic certification standards in the U.S. do not require cows who are on organic farms to be grass-fed. In fact very few cows, organic or conventional, are grass-fed in the U.S. – this is simply one of many choices farmers can make about their animals’ diets.

Each and every day dairy farmers are committed to quality - 24/7!
Dairy farmers across the country are committed to producing high-quality milk and maintaining proper animal care and environmental practices on their farms.
References:www.nal.usda.gov/afsic/pubs/
· Conventional dairy producers use best management practices to ensure that dairy cows are healthy by providing them with comfortable living conditions, nutritious diets and good medical care.
· Organic dairy farms must meet the additional requirements of USDA's National Organic Program. These include, among other things, requirements that farmers use only organic fertilizers and pesticides, and do not give their cows antibiotics or supplemental hormones. Dairy foods can be labeled “USDA Organic” only if all of the USDA certification criteria are met.

Professional Dairy Producers of Wisconsin
Thank you Kathy Muth and PDPW for having me at your conference this morning as part of a panel speaking about social media titled "Love It, Tolerate It or Not Sure About It?" I really enjoyed sharing the information with your attendees in regard to adding social media to our daily routines. It is really important to do something - whether it be penning a letter to the editor or using one of the tools like Facebook, Twitter or having your own blog like I do.
It is important to embrace the people that you have around you in your own community. Actually, it is easy to start out with people you know and grow your style after you have mastered the people you are comfortable with.
It is easy to read newspapers, magazines and the Internet, if you prefer that, because you can count on one thing for sure! Misinformation and drama is everywhere! You don't have to look for national articles, this misinformation is right in your back door. Take a step today and go out on a limb and try something out of your box! It will make you feel good and give you a feeling that you haven't experienced before.

No matter what is going on in our dairies we need to stay focused and positive!
It is very important to keep our heads up and move forward in our dairy operations. There are many groups each day trying to inform consumers of all the bad things we are doing! If these organized groups, backed by big money, would only go and visit a dairy and find out how hard we work and how ethical we really are it would clear up the confusion. It is irritating that uninformed people actually have the following they do. Dairy farmers all over the country need to pool their thoughts and words and become a power of their own. Learn to speak out and let people know how proud we are of what we do 24/7!

Stay Active
"All you have to do to increase your longevity and improve your health dramatically is to amble along at a 20-minutes-per-mile pace for a couple miles, at least five times a week. What insurance policy could you buy that would be more effective or cheaper-or more pleasant-than that?" says Dr. Kenneth H. Cooper, founder and chairman of Cooper Aerobics Center in Dallas, Texas. Exercise, too, slows the shortening of telomeres.

This is what I do best! BLOG!
Elkhorn dairy producer doubles as online ag advocate
An assistant librarian for a local high school, Kyle says agriculture has taught her a number of lessons including “get your life preserver and go along for the ride—don’t fight it” and be patient.
 |
Laurie and David Kyle started their dairy farm in Elkhorn nearly 21 years ago “from the bottom up.”
It’s that determination and drive to succeed that eventually led to Laurie creating a blog, “Dairy and Health on the Farm” (http://www.nutritiouswisconsinmilk.com) to tell others their story.
“It’s been very difficult starting from the bottom but I believe that’s why we’ve been so successful because we both aren’t afraid of hard work and rolling up our sleeves,” she says. “Our kids have learned that right along side us. It has been very cool to see our progression and I’m very proud to see what we have accomplished.”
Kyle is scheduled to speak as part of a dairy producer panel at the 2011 PDPW “Pathways to Profits” Business Conference in Madison. The group will be discussing social media in the industry and its impact in a session entitled: “Social Media: Love It, Tolerate It or Not Sure About It?”

Positive friendships are important for great mental health
Good friends may be even more important than family when it comes to living longer. Researchers followed nearly 1,500 older people for 10 years and found that those with the strongest network of close friends lived longest. Friends can exert a healthy influence on risky behaviors like smoking and drinking, plus you can count on them to shore up mood and self-esteem and help you cope in times of trouble.

Tip # 2 for healthy living!
Pop a multivitamin
A study by the National Institute of Health found that women who took a daily multivitamin had, on average, 5.1 percent longer telomeres, the equivalent of almost 10 additional years of life. Multivitamins reduce oxidative damage and inflammation, which may help maintain telomere length in cells.

"Whole Living" was a great experience!
This dairy farmer enjoys setting dairy record straight
Fruit should be a priority!
Try this tip: Use the 80/20 rule to incorporate splurges into your eating plan: Make 80 percent of the food you eat fresh fruits, vegetables, lean protein and whole grains.
Add years to your life - and life to your years!~
1. Meditate - the positive psychological changes associated with regular meditation may slow down aging, researchers at the University of California, Davis, have found. Meditation lowers levels of an enzyme that eats away at telomeres, the endcaps on DNA like the tips on shoelaces, that protect chromosomes from destruction. As telomeres shorten, chromosomes are damaged, causing cells to die.

Your Flat-AB Food List
Groceries that fight belly fat? Fork 'em over!
Avocados - contains 10 grams of healthy monounsaturated fats, which stop the blood sugar spikes that tell your body to store fat around your midsection. Bananas - this fruit packs 422 milligrams of potassium, a mineral that can help limit the amount of belly swelling sodium in your body. Berries - antioxidants can improve blood flow, delivering more oxygen to muscles. Chocolate skim milk - a glass teams carbohydrates with protein to promote muscle building. Drink post-workout to speed recovery. Green tea - Three cups daily may rev your metabolism and burn 30 calories, a study in Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise shows. Oranges - vitamin C in colorful produce like oranges and red peppers, can help zap up to 30 percent more fat during exercise. Whole grains - the filling fiber in foods like oatmeal, brown rice and bulgur aids in keeping your body's insulin levels low. Yogurt - A cup encourages the growth of good bacteria in your gut, crowding out other bugs that can cause bloating.

Eat clean
It is important to eat foods in their natural state, or as close to it as possible. It is a lifestyle approach to food and its preparation, leading to an improved life and well-being. It is easy to fit in the five to six times a day of three small meals and three small snacks. The food pyramid is a great guide to finding out what is necessary for optimal health. The important elements of protein, fresh fruit, vegetables, carbohydrates, and dairy are key to the balance that the body needs each day. It is really important to drink 72 ounces of water every day as it naturally flushes the body. Start out trying something new in a food group each day and find out how many options we have that are healthy.

Here is the "Bovine" reply to my angry post yesterday!
thebovine
Laurie, I’m sure that your family works very hard farming as you do. I have personally visited a number of dairy farms and I’ve even worked on a conventional dairy farm that shipped milk for pasteurization.
But some people want to farm the raw milk way and I feel it’s important there there be freedom for that to happen. That’s what this blog is about.
The thought of you guys feeding pastries to cows is pretty funny because many raw milk fans understand that cows — with their complicated four part stomachs — were made to eat grass and hay, and when you start feeding them things they weren’t designed to digest, you’re asking for trouble.
But hey, they’re your cows, and if you’re pasteurizing the milk, I guess you can get away with it.
But tell me, does your family drink your cows’ milk raw? Many conventional farmers do that. And the raw milk movement is made up of lots of non-farmers who would like to do that as well.

Why don’t you comment on my blog instead of taking it off my blog and using it for your criticism board! Have you visited a dairy farm before or are you getting all of your misinformation from a bogus site? Dairy farmers work very hard each and every day and most intelligent Americans don’t have this type of narrow-minded, paranoid attitude. The truth about what the stewards of the land do everyday, which includes my husband and I will always prevail because we live it. You can only pretend to know anything at all about dairy farming. It takes hard work and determination and you don’t seem to have any original ideas of your own on this blog! Thanks for finding me and helping me to understand that I need to work harder to educate the American people. Obviously I have made a fantastic choice being a dairy farmer and a nutritional adviser.
