AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY GENERAL RULES AND REGULATIONSBrown County Ag Society Board

of Directors prohibits tents, refrigerators, couches, grills and other personal enclosures within the barns

and on the fairgrounds.

RegistrationAll entries that are pre-registered will be entered on computer prior to entry day. Being pre-registered could save you considerable time at the check-in table. All entries must be registered through the fair office, and tags will be issued, which must be attached to the exhibit and remain during the Fair. No entries submitted in previous years shall be allowed to be re-entered, except livestock en-tries. All manor of transportation must be paid by exhibitor. No chutes are allowed inside the barns. Exhibitors must furnish all bedding and hay with the exception of Poultry and Rabbits. Entries are free. The society will en-deavor to prevent loss or damage to all exhibits, but will not be responsible for any such that may occur.

No exhibits may be removed from grounds until 4 p.m. Sunday. Removal of exhibits prior to 4 p.m. will result in forfeiture of all premiums for that division.

Payment of PremiumsAll premiums not paid on the ground will be mailed. CHECKS WILL BE VOID IF NOT CASHED AFTER 60 DAYS.

Brown County 4-H members Please refer to the premium book which is dis-tributed to each 4-H family through the 4-H club mailbox system in the Extension Office. If you have not received your copy, please talk to your club leader to get a copy.

Camping during Brown County Free Fair The Brown County Ag Society prohibits anyone from occupying the grounds between the hours of 12 a.m. and 5 a.m. This includes being in the barns or occupying any vehicle or trailer parked on the grounds. (The exception is commercial vendors—food vendors, carnival workers, etc. - who have paid for camping and other authorized personnel hired by BCAS.) In rare circumstances, such as a sick animal, an exhibitor or family member may request to be present overnight. Anyone staying overnight must be 21 years of age or older, no exceptions. Permission to stay must be obtained from the BCAS before 6 p.m. on that night. Permission forms are available in the fair office. Failure to do so will result in penalty determined by BCAS and may include removal of the exhibits from the grounds and/ or restriction from current or future events.

Livestock Trailers at the fair The Brown County Ag Society and the 4-H Livestock Committee have collaborated on a new policy to avoid confusion at the Brown County Fair concerning the parking of livestock trailers. Due to limited parking space on the fairgrounds, trailers should be taken home during the fair. We realize some might need a trailer for food storage and bedding storage. If you need to keep your trailer on the grounds, trailers need to be parked in the designated trailer parking area on the grounds with a designated trailer parking sticker. Please contact [email protected] by Monday, August 8 if you plan to keep your trailer on the Brown County Fairgrounds. Trailer parking stickers can be picked up during biosecurity check. Undesignated trailers left on the grounds after Wednesday, August 10 will be towed at the owner’s expense.

Livestock ExhibitsAll Livestock are required to follow Board of Ani-mal Health Identification guidelines. These can be found at bah.state.mn.us/exhibitions/

Animals must be shown in the class in which they are registered (entered) or premiums will be for-feited. Livestock exhibitors will be allowed to com-plete the registration process at the Civic Center on Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday during the times listed above on those days. Preregistration is encouraged (required for Poultry) and could save you considerable time at the check-in table. Completed forms for pre-registration need to be postmarked by one week prior to the opening day of the fair. Livestock Entries not registered and in place by 2 p.m. on Wednesday will not be accepted. The Open Class Show for Poultry, Pigeons & Water fowl will be the sole responsibility of the Brown County Poultry and Pigeon Association. For in-formation and entry form regarding this show go to page 15. Pre-registration IS required.

Animals at the Fair The Brown County Fair is a 5-day event. All exhibits are expected to remain on the fair grounds for the duration of the Brown County Fair. Exemption may be made by submitting a request to the fair board for approval, or in the case of livestock projects, sick animals may be released by the designated Brown County Fair Veterinarian once the livestock release form is filled out with all required signatures. Any exhibitor that removes projects or exhibits from the fair without approval will not be allowed to exhibit similar species at the Brown County Fair the following year.

Any animal may be exhibited in more than one show (Open Class, 4-H, FFA). Premiums will be paid for ONE show per animal, as indicated by the exhibitor on the entry form.

Public Exhibition of Livestock and Poultry in Minnesota Minnesota rules require that exhibitions where cattle, swine, sheep, goats, horses, or poultry are shown employ an official veterinarian. This requirement does not apply to horse shows which are programmed to be completed within a period of 12 hours and at which horses are not stabled overnight. Authorization for official veterinarians may be obtained by calling the Minnesota Board of Animal Health at 651-201-6804.

The official veterinarian of an exhibition shall: Approve the cleaning and disinfection of the exhibition premises prior to the exhibition and during the exhibition of livestock and poultry are released and new livestock and poultry are brought to the exhibition premises: Inspect all livestock and poultry on the day admitted to the exhibition; Refuse admission of livestock and poultry exhibiting symptoms of any infectious or communicable disease, or of livestock or poultry not meeting the admission requirements of this part; Inspect all livestock and poultry at least once daily during the exhibition and order the immedi-ate removal to the quarantine facility or removal from the exhibition premises of any livestock or poultry with symptoms of infectious or com-municable disease, and order and supervise the cleaning and disinfection of the area from which the diseased livestock or poultry was removed; Conduct any necessary tests at any time to deter-mine the health status of the livestock or poultry on the exhibition grounds; At the conclusion of the exhibition, report to the board violations of exhibition rules and other information concerning the exhibition as requested by the board; and Retain for a period of one year all official forms. Ensure that all cattle are identified according to MN State Rules. The superintendents of the vari-ous livestock departments will be on the grounds Wednesday of the fair to receive entries.

Biosecurity at the Fair The Brown County Ag Society in Cooperation with the Brown County Fair Veterinarian will be implementing a new policy regarding the livestock Biosecurity at the Brown County Fair Grounds. All animals will be visually inspected before leaving their trailer or truck by veterinarian designated inspectors. This is to better ensure a disease-free livestock environment. Biosecurity checks will be done from 7 to 9 p.m. on Tuesday, August 9 and again on Wednesday, August 10 at 8:00a.m. No livestock entries accepted after 2 p.m. on Wednesday.

IAFE (International Association of Fairs and Expositions) National Code of Show Ring Ethics All exhibitors submission of entry will indicate an agreement to abide by all conditions and rules listed below: Exhibitors of animals at livestock shows shall at all times deport themselves with honesty and good sportsmanship. Their conduct in this competitive environment shall always reflect the highest standards of honor and dignity to promote the advancement of agricultural education. This code applies to junior as well as open class exhibitors who compete in structured classes of competition. This code applies to all livestock offered in any event at a livestock show. In addition to the “IAFE Code of Show Ring Ethics,” fairs and livestock shows may have rules and regulations which they impose on the local, county, state, provincial and national levels. All youth leaders working with junior exhibitors are under an affirmative responsibility to do more than avoid improper conduct or questionable acts. Their moral values must be so certain and positive that those younger and more pliable will be influenced by their fine example. Owners, exhibitors, fitters, trainers and absolutely respon-sible persons who violate the code of ethics will forfeit premiums, awards and auction proceeds and shall be prohibited from future exhibition in accordance with the rules adopted by the respec-tive fairs and livestock shows. Exhibitors who violate this code of ethics demean the integrity of all livestock exhibitors and should be prohibited from competition at all livestock shows in the United States and Canada. The following is a list of guidelines for all exhibitors and all livestock in competitive events: 1)All exhibitors must present, upon request of fair and livestock show officials, proof of ownership, length of ownership, and age of all animals entered. Misrepresentation of ownership, age, or any facts relating thereto is prohibited. 2) Owners, exhibitors, fitters, trainers, or absolutely responsible persons shall provide animal health certificates from licensed veteri-narians upon request by fair or livestock show officials. 3) Junior exhibitors are expected to care for and groom their animals while at fairs or livestock shows. 4) Animals shall be presented to show events where they will enter the food chain free of violative drug residues. The act of entering an animal in a livestock show is the giving of, consent by the owner, exhibitor, fitter, trainer and/or absolutely responsible person for show management to obtain any specimens of urine, saliva, blood, or other substances from the animal to be used in testing. Animals not entered in an event which culminates with the animal entering the food chain shall not be administered drugs other than in accordance with applicable federal, state and provincial statutes, regulations and rules. Livestock shall not be exhibited if the drugs administered in accordance with federal, state and provincial statutes, regulations and rules affect the animal’s performance or appearance at the event. If the laboratory report on the analysis of saliva, urine, blood, or other sample taken from livestock indicates the presence of forbid-den drugs or medication, this shall be prima facie evidence such substance has been administered to the animal either internally or externally. It is presumed that the sample of urine, saliva, blood, or other substance tested by the laboratory, to

which it is sent, is the one taken from the animal in question, its integrity is preserved and all pro-cedures of said collection and preservation, trans-fer to the laboratory and analysis of the sample are correct and accurate and the report received from the laboratory pertains to the sample taken from the animal in question and correctly reflects the condition of the animal at the time the sample was taken, with the burden on the owner, exhibi-tor, fitter, trainer, or absolutely responsible person to prove otherwise. 18 At any time after an animal arrives on the fair or livestock show premises, all treatments involving the use of drugs and/or medications for the sole purpose of protecting the health of the animal shall be administered by a licensed veterinarian. 5) Any surgical procedure or injection of any foreign substance or drug or the external application of any substance (irritant, counterirritant, or similar substance) which could affect the animal’s performance or alter its natural contour, confirmation, or appearance, except external applications of substances to the hoofs or horns of animals which affect appearance only and except for surgical procedures performed by a duly licensed veterinarian for the sole purpose of protecting the health of the animal, is prohib-ited. 6) The use of showing and/or handling prac-tices or devices such as striking animals to cause swelling, using electrical contrivance, or other similar practices are not acceptable and are pro-hibited. 7) Direct criticism or interference with the judge, fair or livestock show management, other exhibitors, breed representatives, or show offi-cials before, during, or after the competitive event is prohibited. In the furtherance of their official duty, all judges, fair and livestock show manage-ment, or other show officials shall be treated with courtesy, cooperation and respect and no person shall direct abusive or threatening conduct toward them. 8) No owner, exhibitor, fitter, trainer, or absolutely responsible person shall conspire with another person or persons to intentionally violate this code of ethics or knowingly contribute or co-operate with another person or persons either by affirmative action or inaction to violate this code of ethics. Violation of this rule shall subject such individual to disciplinary action. 9) The application of this code of ethics provides for absolute re-sponsibility for an animal’s condition by an owner, exhibitor, fitter, trainer, or participant whether or not he or she was actually instrumental in or had actual knowledge of the treatment of the animal in contravention of this code of ethics. 10) The act of entering an animal is the giving of consent by the owner, exhibitor, fitter, trainer, or absolutely re-sponsible person to have disciplinary action taken by the fair or livestock show for violation of this Code of Show Ring Ethics and any other rules of competition of the fair or livestock show without recourse against the fair or livestock show. The act of entering an animal is the giving of consent that any proceedings or disciplinary action taken by the fair or livestock show may be published with the name of the violator or violators in any publication of the International Association of Fairs and Expositions, including Fairs and Expos and any special notices to members. 11) The act of entering of an animal in a fair or livestock show is the giving of verification by the owner, exhibitor, fitter, trainer, or absolutely responsible person that he or she has read the IAFE Code of Show Ring Ethics and understands the consequences of and penalties provided for actions prohibited by the code. It is further a consent that any action which contravenes these rules and is also in violation of federal, state, or provincial statutes, regulations, or rules may be released to appropri-ate law enforcement authorities with jurisdiction over such infractions

HORTICULTURE FRUITS & VEGETABLES

HELPFUL HINTS FOR PREPARING FRUITS & VEGETABLES FOR EXHIBIT

1. Vegetables and fruits should be prepared to look attractive. They should be clean as dirt detracts from their appearance. Root crops that have been washed and scrubbed too hard may wilt or shrivel. Generally, less soil adheres to root vegetables if they are dug when the soil is dry. If washing is necessary, soak the roots in cold water and gently wash with a soft cloth. Tender-skinned vegetables such as summer squash or eggplant, should not be washed but brushed lightly with a soft-bristled brush.2. All fruits and vegetables should be free of blemishes from insects, diseases, or injuriesfrom harvesting and transporting. Always use a sharp knife to make straight, clean cuts when harvesting or trim-ming vegetables. Some vegetables need tops trimmed to I - 2 inches such as beets or carrots. Most vegetables need 1/2 inch stems left on them for display, such as beans, cucumbers, or peppers. Some vegetables need stems to be entirely re-moved, such as tomatoes or melons. Onions and cabbages need their outer layers or wrapper leaves left on them.3. Vegetables should be fresh and in prime condition for eating at the time of judging. Those that are at the proper stage of maturity are preferred to under or over mature fruit.4. The size of the vegetable or fruit should be typical of that variety. The biggest is not always the best. All vegetables and fruits should be true-to-type. For ex-ample, an elongated beet would not be typical for the variety Detroit Dark Red.5. If two or more specimens are required for an exhibit they should be uniform in size, shape, color, maturity, and type. Always display only the required number of specimens.6.

HORTICULTURE – FLOWERSHelpful Hints for preparing flowers for exhibit.

1. For proper conditioning flowers should be cut not less than12 hours before they are to be used.2. The preferred time for cutting materials is in the early evening or morning. A sharp knife or clippers should be used.3. After the specimens have been cut, the FLOWERS and/or other FOLIAGE should be GENTLY WASHED to remove dust, rain spatters, spray, or insects. A mild detergent may be used, then the specimens should be set upright in deep water in a cool dark place, free of drafts for several hours or overnight to harden. Leaves below the water level should be removed because they will deteriorate very rapidly.4. Some flowers can be held anywhere from a day or two and others four or six weeks by keeping them in a cool place or under refrigeration. The use of a flower preservative also lengthens their freshness. Flowers may be forced into faster opening, by placing their stems in a container of hot water (110 degrees F.) and covering the container with a plastic bag.5. In preparing the flower exhibit, remove broken, diseased, or insect damaged leaves, CUT STEMS TO THE PROPER LENGTH, making sure the stem is in proportion to the size of the bloom, and SELECT THE PROPER NUMBER OF BLOOMS or STEMS. If the schedule calls for three blooms, it must have only three blooms—four could lead todisqualification by the judge.6. In classes calling for two or more stems or blooms, they should be as nearly alike in all respects as possible. They should be the same color, size, form, stage of development or maturity, and stem foliage.7. The exhibit should be placed in a clean, narrow necked bottle with the stems supported with an inconspicuous prop if necessary, such as clear plastic, styrofoam, or a wooden block.8. There should be NO FOLIAGE BELOW THE WATER LEVEL.9. Foliage is usually necessary. No artificial coloring, leaf shine, spray, oiling, or wiring is accepted. Entries in this division will be accepted on Monday, 3:00 to 6:00 p.m. and Tuesday, 10:00 a.m. To 2:00 p.m. but preferred entry time is Wednesday, Noon to 6:00 p.m. Judging will take place in the New Ulm Civic Center on the Fairgrounds on Wednesday evening. The Brown County Fair is not responsible for the condition of live plants brought in on Monday or Tuesday. Pre-registration is encouraged. Each exhibitor may display only one entry in each lot. All varieties in a collection must be named on a 3 x 5 index card and included with the exhibit, exhibitor’s name must be on the back of the index card. If not named, the collection is not eligible for honors. Ribbons, exhibits and checks can be picked up after 4:00 p.m. Sunday.

Our History!How the Brown County Fair came to be….

The very first Brown County Fair in New Ulm, MN took place in 1867 on the grounds of the historic Turner Hall.

The Brown County Fair was managed by the Brown County Agricultural Societyand continues to be to this day.

In early years the fair was always held in September, only lasting a weekend. Influenced by crop production in the given year; the fair often was announced onlyten days before its opening.

After the Agricultural Society merged with the New Ulm Breeders Association, who had created a horseracing track on the north end of town in the height of the harness horse racing era, the fair was moved to itscurrent site in 1896.

Currently, the oldest building original to our grounds is the Exhibition Hall, now known as the FFA Building,was built in 1909. Our grounds now includes an original Brown County school house & cabin, which were relocated to the grounds from their original sites.

In 2017, in celebration of 150 years of the fair, the brown county fair board commissioned Daniel Hoisingtonto write a book on our history. Meet Us at the Fair became available in print in July 2017, its full of fun local stories and wonderful photographs from the past!

Copies are still available through our Board of Directorsand also at The Brown County Historical SocietyMuseum in New Ulm.

If you have photographs or stories from the pastthat you would be interested in sharing with us,
