Pomeroy looks to promote sport as Miss Rodeo Kansas

By Lucas ShiversThe planned $7 million

location for Concordia Trac-tor, Inc. (CTI) outside ofClay Center will be a newagri-business facility that of-fers significantly expandedspace for service and train-ing for both employees andcustomers. “The main thingis the space necessity,”Harley Adams, CEO andvice president, said. “Thepresent space at the Clay

Center site is 12,400 squarefeet, and the footprint of thenew site will have 51,000with 10,000 in the mezza-nine.” Adams said the proj-ect, located west of ClayCenter at 1181 18th Road,will start this spring. Heplans to have constructionfinished and move in before2016. “We anticipate mov-ing in right around the end ofthe calendar year. It shouldbe about a ten-month proj-ect,” Adams said.CTI identified a need for

the new facility more thanfour years ago after finishinganother building site in Con-cordia in 2011.“The Clay Center project

is way overdue,” he said.“The regional market iscompetitive and progressive,and we’ve been overdue toprovide our customers withthe support they need interms of the facility. The cus-tomers and employees reallydeserve it. Everyone hasbeen very patient.” Workingwith both city and countygovernments, Adams saidthe project is on track afteryears of planning. “The landacquisition took a year andhalf to coordinate with bothcity and county” he said. “Itjust takes some time to work

these things out, and I appre-ciate their help.” In additionto relieve the tight proximity,the new facility will alsobring needed equipment foremployee health and safety.“We will incorporate newsafety equipment that wesorely need for our techni-cians and employee advan-tages,”Adams said. “We willhave overhead cranes and airquality ventilation to getsmoke out of the shop moreeasily.” A high-tech trainingportion of the CTI facilitywill support not only em-ployees learning the latest ontheir product lines, but alsocustomers. “The trainingroom will be 1,800 squarefeet” he said. “The spacewill allow for computerwork stations for more than50 or theatre-style seatingfor up to 100. We will usethat room for internal train-ing for all employees as wellas for customer training.”Adams noted the increas-

ing trend to support cus-tomers’ learning and simu-lating their products and ma-chinery. “In order to maxi-mize the efficiencies of mod-ern machines, we find it’simperative to offer trainingopportunities for operatorsof the equipment,” Adams

said. “The sophistication ofthe modern equipment willdo a lot of things, but youhave to understand it all tooptimize the efficiencies sowe spend a lot of time train-ing our customers.” Manypieces of machinery are be-coming more versatile, butoperators need refreshers forseasonal equipment.“Most customers take ad-

vantage of the classes sinceso much of the equipment isonly used a few weeks out ofthe year,” Adams said.“Trainings are really impor-tant for the spring plantingand fall harvest.” The long-

term benefit for CTI also in-cludes higher customer satis-faction and generates a high-er return on their investment.“When we sell someone re-ally complicated equipment,we want to satisfy them withadequate training opportuni-ties,” Adams said. “We makefewer trips to the fields forbreakdowns if customersknow how to best use themachines.”The new facility will be

able to offer high-speed in-ternet capacity for thesetrainings, as well as videoand online modular learning.“Our people are qualified to

teach most classes,” Adamssaid. “Yet, more of the inter-nal training is completedwith remote access to dialinto classrooms and do inter-active training with expertsfrom across the country.”The advantage of the new fa-cility includes a central loca-tion for other CTI branches.“There are about 22 employ-ees in Clay Center,” Adamssaid. “With long- range plansfor the Clay Center site, wehope to add 11 more with thefacility if things fall intoplace as we plan. The end re-sult is more capacity with thenew facility.”

Shetland pony namedSpunky, Abbey Pomeroybegan her equestrian career.She can’t remember the firsttime she sat in the saddle andacknowledges it would bemost accurate to say shecan’t remember the timewhen horses weren’t part ofher everyday life. “As soonas I was able to saddle thehorse myself, I was out thereevery day riding,” she said.Now Pomeroy is the

reigning Miss Rodeo Kansasand is spending this yeartraveling the state and coun-try promoting the sport ofrodeo and the western wayof life. She will conclude herreign by competing in theMiss Rodeo America Pag-eant in Las Vegas, Nevadaduring the Wrangler Nation-al Finals Rodeo.Pomeroy was raised on a

farm near Hesston and grad-uated from Kansas StateUniversity last May with adegree in interior design.She grew up in 4-H andstarted English riding on aMorgan when she was tenyears old. She competed inregional and national showsall the way through highschool. Her older sister had abarrel racing horse she’dbeen competing on and wasgetting ready to sell it.Pomeroy asked if she couldride it for a year in college,and so began her venture

into the world of rodeo.She began running barrels

her sophomore year withtwo personal goals in mind.She wanted to compete inthe K-State rodeo and run asuccessful pattern. She ap-preciates the fact that sheand the horse are a team, andtogether they reached thosetwo goals. “The neatest part

was working with such anathletic horse and being thatteam,” she reflected. Shewas crowned Miss Rodeo K-State in 2012.As Miss Rodeo Kansas,

Pomeroy is an ambassadorfor the sport, and one of hergoals is to promote it togroups that aren’t as rodeo-oriented. “One of rodeo’s

biggest goals right now is tobecome a mainstream sport-ing event, where it’s seen ontelevision and the athletesinteract with the public,” sheexplained. “The only waywe’re going to grow that au-dience is to take it to peoplewho don’t know about it.”School groups have been

one of her major outreaches,as she discusses rodeo andthe western heritage. “Thechildren are very curious andask a lot of honest ques-tions,” she said. She alsoparticipated in a ski eventcalled Cowboy Downhill asa way to bring the sport ofrodeo to a different audi-ence.Traveling through air-

ports in her title attire – sash,hat, crown, boots and buckle– has also sparked manyconversations and givenPomeroy the chance to edu-cate people about rodeo andthe western tradition.Another of her priorities

for her reign is to createhands-on educational oppor-tunities for younger queensin the state. “I want to be thebest and most giving rolemodel of a queen and ambas-sador,” Pomeroy said.Pomeroy will travel about

30,000 miles during herreign. She will visit bothcoasts and has already beento Florida twice. “I’m anx-ious to see how rodeos differon the coasts as compared tothe middle of the country,”

she said. Smart Boons, anAQHA working cow horsestallion, is Pomeroy’s majorsponsor. She is also spon-sored by Wildcat CreekRanch of Peabody.Currently her interior de-

sign career is on hold as shemakes being Miss RodeoKansas her number one pri-ority. “I treat it like my job,”she stated. Along with theappearances she makes, get-ting ready for the final pag-eant requires a great deal oftime as she studies the rulebook and prepares for the in-terviews and tests that arepart of it. It’s rare that shehas a week at home, butwhen she does, she alsohelps out on the farm be-tween studying.With so much she wants

to accomplish, just having ayear to do it doesn’t seemlike quite enough time toPomeroy. “I’m very enthusi-astic and passionate about it,so only getting one year topromote it seems like a shortperiod of time,” she mused.And while she loves takingthe message of rodeo togroups less familiar with it,she gets great satisfactionwhen she helps promote arodeo in any part of thecountry. “It’s extremely re-warding to be at an appear-ance that is rodeo-relatedand be around people yougrew up around who appre-ciate your efforts and whatyou put into it,” she said.“It’s very rewarding givingback and being a service forthe future of rodeo.”

By John Schlageck,Kansas Farm BureauEach day, farmers and

ranchers pull on their boots,roll up their sleeves and goto work outside rural com-munities across Kansas.They perform a litany ofchores – feeding and doctor-ing livestock, cultivatingtheir crops, pulling mainte-nance on machinery, payingbills – you name it and farm-ers and ranchers do it.

While all of these activi-ties are necessary, agricul-tural advocacy has becomea farmer and rancher’s mostimportant chore. Farmersand ranchers have an obli-gation to provide the publicwith an understanding oftheir profession.

Never has it become

more important to help con-sumers understand how im-portant agriculture is to thewell-being of our economicfuture. Without continuingsuccess in the farming andranching sector, consumerswill be in danger of losingthe high-quality, affordablefood so many expect andtake for granted.

How do farmers helpconsumers understand theirprofession?

It begins with the com-mitment of farmers andranchers to tell their side ofthe story whenever andwherever the opportunitypresents itself. Whether youtalk to grade-schoolers,service clubs or state legis-lators, remember to prac-tice the art of relationship

building between rural andurban, between agriculturalproducers and consumers ofagricultural products.

When you have an oppor-tunity to talk about produc-tion agriculture, do just that– talk about agriculture.Leave the other so-called“hot” topics of the dayalone. Let someone else talkabout them.

With less than 2 percentof our population engagedin food production, do notmiss an opportunity to tellyour story. If you are askedto comment about a recentelection, talk about it withan agricultural flavor.

Talk about how you be-lieve your elected officialwill be able to work withyou to make sure our stateand nation makes energydevelopment, rural trans-portation and finding newmarkets agriculture’s toppriorities.

Give people a glimpseinto your profession – a sub-ject that affects your bottomline and one that affects thewell-being of your family,their families – everyone.It’s easier than you might

think to initiate a conversa-tion about farming withyour urban cousins.

Begin with a common de-nominator when talking tocity folks. Start by dis-cussing with them the fertil-izer they buy for their gar-dens is no different fromwhat you, as a farmer, put onyour crops. The rose dust,herbicide or insecticideused to control scab, crab-grass or mosquitoes is simi-lar to the plant protectionchemicals you use.

Sometimes commonground revolves around nu-trition. A good analogycould be the parallel be-tween a person’s need forhealthful food and a plant’sneed for a well-balanceddiet.

It’s easy to move from nu-trition to some of the moredifficult challenges facingagriculture. Topics oneveryone’s minds today in-clude safe drinking water,availability of credit and fis-cal responsibility.

Today, many people areconcerned about chemicalrun-off into rivers, lakes andstreams. As a farmer youcannot afford to overusethese expensive chemicalproducts. Tell them that. Letthem know you, more thananyone else, are concernedabout the land where your

family lives and works.Public understanding of

how a modern farmer runshis/her operation is onlyhalf the challenge. Perhapsequally important is theneed to be sensitive to theconcerns of the community.

Remember that people,most of them living in townsor cities, are the ones whocall for regulations and newlaws. It is this public thatwill enforce them.

In the end, ironically, itis the public who will sufferif the laws have a negativeeffect on our food produc-tion and consumption sys-tem.

Tell your story – the storyof agriculture. No one elseis going to.

Let consumers know thevalue of food. Tell them howyou go about producing thehealthiest, best-tasting foodanywhere in the world. It’s astory only you can tell andtell well.

This is your livelihood.You are food-producing spe-cialists. You must tell yourstory.

Spring has sprung: that thoughtcrossed my mind as I typed April onthis week’s column. Wow, we are fi-nally loosening winter’s cold gripand walking into the warm sunlightof spring. The world is aglow in thegreen carpet covering the hills, flow-ers are starting to emerge from thesoil and the trees are full of blos-soms. All is new and good.

For several weeks I have watchedfor the signs of spring and finally Ihave started to see them. Was it thereturn of the robins that told mespring was near? No, not really. Howabout the buds on the fruit trees?No, in fact, I am pretty sure thatbrings on a freeze. Maybe it was thegeese flying south. Wrong again, Ilive by a lake and they fly back andforth all the time. Okay, what aboutthe greening of the grass? Nope, butit is a reminder that I need to get mylawn mower fixed.

I know all of those are classicalsigns that spring has sprung, butthe signs I am looking for are muchcloser to home. For instance, I knowthat spring is in the air when I driveby a neighbor’s house and I see theirchore clothes hung out on the line todry. No self-respecting livestockowner would dare wash their choreclothes until winter and calving sea-son are truly over. What would hap-pen if you washed your coveralls,they had not dried and say a winterstorm blew in while a heifer wascalving? Coveralls on the clothes lineis the most solid sign of spring onecan find in rural America.

Another sure sign of springtimein cattle country is the absence ofshaving cream on grocery storeshelves. Yes, warmer weather meansitchy calving season beards. Hair-cuts and shaving are now again invogue. As the teens would say, theshaggy, haggard, disheveled look ofcalving season is so last winter. Thisalso coincides with clogged sinkdrains, hair on the counter and dirtylooks from your wife. Shaving abeard off is tough and there is col-lateral damage.

Finally, the best indicator ofspring in the Flint Hills is the orangeglow in the evening sky and the faint

(or more than faint) smell of smokeon the evening air. Nothing saysspring like a good pasture burning.Evidence of this can be seen in theblack landscape or the sooty four-wheeler with a water tank in theback of any rancher’s pickup onMain Street. Seeing big cedar treesgoing up in flames like giant torchesis one of the best signs of spring Iknow.

So let’s say you are in a smalltown in the Flint Hills and you aretalking to a passing traveler at thelocal café. You make mention that allthe signs point to the fact that win-ter is finally behind us and spring issurely here. They will probablyguess that your statement was madebecause of your keen awareness ofthe natural world around you andthe observations you have madecame while communing with natureeach day.

They will wonder if it is the dis-tant gobble of the turkey, the daf-fodils peaking through the warm,moist soil or the robin hunting for ameal of earth worms. They mighteven suspect that you know this be-cause of the sun’s position in the skyor the length of sunlight during theday. The unsuspecting city slickermight even say it is just a feelingthat every farmer and rancher getsdeep down in their bones and ispassed along generation to genera-tion.

Just smile and look at themsagely with a nod and a wink. Afterall, you know something they don’t;you are one step ahead of the game.We all know that country folks don’trely on birds, plants or even the sunto announce the changing of the sea-sons. We are much savvier thanthat. Little do they know that thesurest sign of spring is closer thanthey might think.

The surest sign of spring is amere two tables down. It would bethe farmer or rancher enjoying hisice tea, eating lunch sporting cleanchore clothes, a fresh shave, and anew haircut and smelling faintly ofsmoke. That is the best sign ofspring I know.

Ag Heritage Park Spring Crank Up! invites tractor enthusiasts, public

Pittsburg EFNEP officeDid you know that

what you feed yourchild could greatly af-fect his or her behaviorand learning ability?Encouraging your fami-ly members to choosefoods wisely and to cookand eat together oftencan be a smart choice inmany ways.

Eat Breakfast.A healthful meal

eaten soon after wakingup will help your childbe less likely to havedisruptive behavior,and to be more alert,ready to learn and ableto perform better in theclassroom. A good ruleof thumb is to try to in-clude at least 3 foodgroups in your break-fast.

Increase Omega 3 Fats.These healthy fats

promote both physicaland mental growth.They help the brain,nerves and eyes func-tion well. Good foodsources of omega 3 fatsinclude canola oil,ground flaxseed meal,walnuts and fatty fish(such as salmon, Pacificand Atlantic mackerel,jack mackerel, tuna andsardines).Cook and Eat Togetheras a Family Often.

Cooking togetheroften prompts relaxedconversation between aparent and child. In ad-dition, it helps build in-dependence and self-confidence in yourchild. It will also helpyour child learn moremath, science, logic andwords. Seating infantsand toddlers at or nearthe family table so theycan watch everyone andhear the conversationswill boost their vocabu-lary and reading skillslater. Eating meals to-gether regularly can im-prove your child’s inter-action with others, hisor her participation inpre-school or schoolclasses and family activ-ities, and decrease neg-ative or anti-social be-haviors. Research indi-cates that teenagersthat eat together withtheir family delay theuse of drugs and alco-hol. What a great way towork on prevention.

Love your child byfeeding him or her well!Do the body — andbrain — good!

Food For Thought: Smart Food ChoicesCan Make Big Changes In Behavior

(NAPS) — There may befew things more satisfyingthan growing colorful flow-ers or eating vegetablespicked fresh from the gar-den. That might seem am-bitious if you haven’t gar-dened before, but gettingstarted this year need notbe difficult. Just followthese simple gardeningtips to enjoy the benefits offresh air, gentle exerciseand healthy produce:1) Pick your spot

with care. Plants need sunand water to survive. Veg-etables and most flowersneed full sun—at least sixhours of sunlight every dayduring the growing season.Plant close to an outdoorwater source to make hotweather watering easier.2) Start with the soil.

Because plants live bytheir roots, the most im-portant part of any gardenis below ground. Most soilaround houses isn’t idealfor plants but can be im-proved by adding nutrient-rich organic matter, usual-ly in the form of compost,shredded leaves or com-posted manure. Baggedsoil mixes marked specifi-cally for growing vegeta-bles are ideal for contain-ers.3) Keep your first

garden manageable. Forbeginners, try a plot 4 feetby 8 feet, or half a dozengood-sized (24–36”) con-tainers. That’s enough toprovide a satisfying har-vest of herbs, greens or afew tomato plants whileyou get a feel for theamount of time and effortit takes to water and weed.Pots are the easiest to con-trol soil, water and light.Creating a container gar-den of vegetables, herbsand patio flowers is a goodplace for novices to start.4) Get a head start.

Some vegetables and flow-ers may need to be startedfrom seed 6–8 weeks be-fore it’s safe to plant themoutside. You’ll need to dothis for tomatoes, peppers,eggplants and petunias.But other favorites likezucchini, cucumbers,beans and sunflowers areeasily sown in the groundwith seed. You can learnmore about starting andsowing seeds atwww.burpee.com. Plantingtime will vary in eachgrowing zone, but is gener-ally best in the late spring.5) Watch your gar-

den grow. It’s fun for thewhole family to observeseeds taking root andgrowing into plants. Besure to water and weedregularly as you wait forthe bounty of your firstharvest.Burpee’s free Garden

Time Planner app makesplanting in specific gardenregions easy. To downloadthe app, buy non-GMOseeds and plants, or to ac-cess helpful “how-to” arti-cles and videos, visitwww.burpee.com or call(800) 888-1447.

By Lou Ann ThomasSome people think that

my dog, Boone, is spoiled,but I beg to differ. It isBoone who has spoiled me.That’s because he is such afaithful and dependablefriend I sometimes find my-self expecting the same be-havior from people. Andthat just isn't fair. Peopleare rarely, if ever, as devot-ed to us as are our animals.For one thing, people

have longer and more com-plicated “agendas” than ouranimals. A good and produc-tive day for Boone is to:1) Go out. 2) Come in. 3)

Eat. 4) Sleep. 5) Repeat.If he has the opportunity

to snag some extra treats, gofor a ride or irritate the cat,then it an exceptionallygood doggy day.Boone's devotion to me is

obvious. He excitedlygreets me when I returnhome, even though he wasmightily displeased when Ileft without him. No humanhas ever greeted me with as

much enthusiasm as Boonedoes. In fact, he's alwayshappy to see me, even if I'veonly been out of his sight fora minute, and he neverbrings up my past indiscre-tions to try to make me feelbad or to manipulate me inany way.Nor has Boone ever bro-

ken a promise to me or can-celled plans at the lastminute, and he's the besttravel buddy I've ever had.He never finds fault with mydriving or complains aboutthe radio station. Boonenever bugs me with sillyquestions or whines aboutnot being there yet. He does-n't even care where we’reheaded, as long as he gets togo along. And if someone ap-proaches me with even theslightest ill will in theirstep, voice or heart Boonewill quickly elicit a loudwarning indicating that al-though his bark is bad, his

bite, if he is sufficientlypushed to the limit of his pa-tience, might be worse.Boone is also my beloved

teacher. By his example, hehas taught me more aboutunconditional love and for-giveness than any personever has. Even when I occa-sionally neglect to rewardhim for some exemplary be-havior, Boone is still happyto be around me. He doesn’tcare what happened last

week or even in the lastminute, he is completelypresent and doesn’t indulgein reliving past disappoint-ments and never holds agrudge.Boone is steadfast and

loyal, accepting and de-pendable and so if somepeople think him spoiled, sobe it. I think that if he coulddance, I might not need peo-ple at all.

Simple Tips ToGet Growing

At Home

The Cheyenne are gener-ally recognized as a dividednation made up of bands inthe north, the NorthernCheyenne, and bands in thesouth, the SouthernCheyenne. But a military so-ciety, the Dog Men, morepopularly known as the DogSoldiers, was actually athird division of theCheyenne people. TheSouthern Cheyenne rangedover a territory from theTexas Panhandle to Nebras-

ka’s Platte River. The North-

ern Cheyenne were knownin Kansas, but more com-monly stayed north of thePlatte. In the middle, theDog Soldiers usually pre-ferred to range from theSmoky Hill River to the Re-publican River. However, inlate January, 1866, the DogSoldiers moved 75 milessouth of the Arkansas Riveras a cruel winter raged overthe plains. The Dog Menwho had raided stage sta-tions along the Smoky HillTrail in late 1865 now ex-pressed a desire to negoti-ate peace with the whites.

U.S. Military authoritieswere not convinced thatpeace was in the works. InFebruary the War Depart-

ment issued an order whichrequired wagon trains to bemade up of at least twentywagons and thirty men be-fore they would be allowedto pass Fort Kearny alongthe Platte River in Nebras-ka, Fort Riley on the SmokyHill route, or Fort Larnedon the Santa Fe Trail. Mili-tary escorts were to guardstages on all routes throughIndian country.

Careful monitoring of thesituation couldn’t accountfor every transgression. Aswinter began to clear, trou-ble was not far behind. OnFebruary 21 a man by thename of Boggs traded aCheyenne out of his moneyby exchanging eleven one-dollar bills for ten ten-dol-lar bills. When the Chey-enne man discovered hehad been cheated, he andthree other braves wentlooking for Boggs. Not find-ing him at home the Indianskilled and scalped Boggs’son. Learning of the particu-lars of the incident, Capt. G.A. Gordon, commanding atFort Dodge, reported, "Ithink this case needs no fur-ther comment."

After a full month’s delayCheyenne Agent Major E. W.Wynkoop was given permis-

sion to respond to the DogSoldiers’s desire for peace.Traveling to Bluff Creek,southwest of Larned,Wynkoop met with fourthousand Cheyenne, PlainsApache and Kiowa on Feb-ruary 28. Being charged byU.S. President Johnson toestablish peace with thesouthern plains tribes,Wynkoop distributed foodand explained an earliertreaty held on the LittleArkansas River to thosepeople who had not been atthe conference. Wynkoopbelieved that by talking toall of the people instead ofonly their leaders, peacecould be accomplished.Capt. G.A. Gordon of theSecond Cavalry also in-formed the Indians thatwhite offenders of the treatywould be punished.

Big Head, an importantleader of the Dog SoldierSociety was not happy withliving among the PlainsApache and Arapahoe southof the Arkansas River as re-quired by the treaty. He pre-ferred living where he was“born and bred” in theSmoky Hill country. Wyn-koop convinced him to stayon the road to peace untilhis request could be re-viewed by proper authori-ties.

During the council,Wynkoop learned of a six-teen year-old captive, Am-anda Fletcher, in LittleRaven’s camp. Wynkoop im-mediately sent soldiers totake her into custody. Hisswift action was viewed bythe Cheyenne with a senseof respect earlier negotia-tors were not able toachieve.

The military buildupcontinued even asWynkoop’s quest for peaceimproved. On March 1, theFirst U.S. Volunteer In-fantry, known as the Galva-nized Yankees, re-estab-lished a military presenceat Monument Station on theSmoky Hill Trail. Elementsof the Second U.S. Cavalryand the Galvanized Yankeeswere sent to Camp PondCreek near present-day Wal-lace, Kansas on April 1.

Major Wynkoop contin-ued to tirelessly pursuepeace. He found Dog Sol-dier leader Little Robe andhis people on April 4th.They were camped on WoodCreek, 15 miles from FortLarned. The warriors werepreparing to raid stage sta-

tions for horses and mules,but Wynkoop remarkablyconvinced them to movesouth of the Arkansas River.During the council, Wyn-koop perceived that al-though ready for war, thesewarriors exhibited a "fer-vent desire for peace," re-luctantly willing to yield forthat peace their favoritehunting ground in theSmoky Hills. As MajorWynkoop grasped for peacein 1866, a relative calmspread across the plains.In spite of his success,

Wynkoop’s detractors work-ed to discredit his perform-

ance. The politics of peacewas not a popular issue withthose who hoped to drivethe Cheyenne out of Kansas.Within months all ofWynkoop’s fight for peacewas reversed by his politi-cal enemies and in 1867blood began to flow with avengeance on TheWayWest.

“Lights, Camera, Farm-land! The Farmland docu-mentary, produced byaward-winning directorJames Moll, took top billing

in the PR Week Awards’ Arts,Entertainment & MediaCampaign of the Year cate-gory. The national film re-lease was supported and led

by the U.S. Farmers andRanchers Alliance®(USFRA®). The Farmlandcampaign received thehonor in New York on

March 19th. According tothe PR Week entry, the annu-al PR Week Awards recog-nizes creative excellence inpublic relations program-ming and are viewed by thepublic relations industry asone of the highest honors.

Farmland achieved enor-mous reach and continues

to be an effective consumercommunications tool. Thefilm help to create a posi-tive shift in consumer andmedia perception of modernU.S. agriculture. Farmlandwas accepted into five filmfestivals, debuted in 170movie theatres selling morethan 11,000 tickets—84%

above the estimate, earneda 93% positive rating on Rot-tenTomatoes.com, and withthe support of USFRA part-ner organizations, has beenscreened more than 1,000times. Surveys found that53% of the primary targetaudience was aware of thedocumentary, and 46% werefamiliar with the organiza-tion, a 91% increase from2013.

“USFRA is proud to berecognized by PR Week,”said USFRA CEO RandyKrotz. “We couldn’t haveachieved what we havewithout the vision of direc-tor James Moll and his team,the support of numerous in-dividuals including presentand former staff, USFRA’sboard members who imme-diately embraced the oppor-tunity and many, many oth-ers. USFRA is committed totaking the message of farm-ers and ranchers to unex-pected places, as we didwith Farmland, and we willstrive to look for innovativeand unique ideas that willcontinue to foster consumerdialogue around food inAmerica.”

“I also want to express aspecial thank you to thosewho have hosted a Farmlandscreening in their local com-munity or attended ascreening event,” continuedKrotz, “and extend a per-sonal invitation for thosewho have yet to see the film,to do so. It is imperative toget the film in front of con-sumers who have questionsabout how we produce ourfood, and we call on the en-tire agricultural communityto help us do this.”

Farmland had a strongonline presence generatingnearly than 62 million im-pressions and earning morethan 463 national mediaplacements. Today the filmis available through digitalplatforms and the DVD canbe purchased at select Wal-mart retail stores, at Wal-mart.com, Amazon.com andcan be rented via Netflix.

“Brilliantly done,” addeda judge in an article fromPR Week. “This asset willlive on for a long, longtime.”

Field work heats up as spring gets under way

By David G. Hallauer,Meadowlark ExtensionDistrict Agent, Crops &

Soils/HorticultureK-State Research & Ex-

tension Rangeland Manage-

ment Specialist Dr. WaltFick shared some musk this-tle facts recently that Ithought were quite interest-ing – and timely – as muskthistle season begins. So,let’s start with some trivia:Musk thistle was first foundin Kansas in 1932 with near-ly a million acres infestedtoday, covering every countyin Kansas. Yikes!

Musk thistle’s bienni-al/winter annual life cyclegives it a competitive advan-tage. Spring germinatingplants stay in the rosetteform all summer. Followingthe next winter, they bolt,flower, and produce seeds.So, just when we think we’vegot a handle on them – morepop up!

What we really careabout is control – and elimi-nating as much seed produc-tion as possible is the key.Multiple options are avail-able. Mowing at the bloomstage can be effective, if youdo so two to three times attwo to four-week intervals.Digging is popular, but mustbe done two to four inchesbelow the soil surface.Musk thistle head androsette weevils can alsohelp reduce seed produc-tion. Good grazing manage-ment is a great option. Acompetitive grass stand canoften be the best control op-tion we have. Herbicidesare also an option and anumber of products are veryeffective. Active ingredi-

ents include 2,4-D, dicamba,picloram, metsulfuron,chlorsulfuron and aminopy-ralid. Control does becomeincreasingly difficult asrosettes bolt then bud – andthe preferred products forcontrol begins to decrease.Some herbicides haveshown some activity on re-ducing seed viability, but forbest results, treat early.

Need a list of herbicidecontrol recommendations?Grab a copy of the 2015Chemical Weed Control forField Crops, Pastures,Rangeland, and Noncrop-land publication from yourDistrict Office or access itonline at http://www.ksre.ksu.edu/bookstore/pubs/SRP1117.pdf . Always read thelabel with particular atten-tion to precautionary state-ments, grazing/haying re-strictions, and rates of ap-plication.

Understanding spring musk thistle control

By Kim Larson, CropProduction Agent, RiverValley Extension DistrictOne part of my job I love

is scouting fields for issues.As a farmer, you wouldrather not have any prob-lems to ever have to scoutfor. However, as an agrono-mist, I enjoy the challengeof scouting fields and dis-covering the cause of anissue. It is fun for me to findand identify an insect or dis-ease or nutrient deficiencyand find a treatment optionif needed. In my recentscouting ventures andthrough visiting with manyof you, our wheat fields arecoming up with a number ofissues. Many farmers arenoticing their wheat “goingbackwards.” With the lack ofrainfall, our wheat is reallysuffering and much of it hasa lot of catching up to docoming out of winter fairlysmall. Some fields have had

a decent amount of armycutworm feeding. There alsois a considerable amount ofwinterkill. When consider-ing management decisionson fields with partial orcomplete winterkill injury,you need to contact yourcrop insurance representa-tive first.

If there are large areas ofthe field with winterkill, butother areas are fine, itwould be best to avoid ap-plying topdress fertilizer tothe bare areas where thewheat has died. If fields arecompletely dead, it might bepossible to plant thesefields to a summer row cropor forage crop later thisspring, depending on plant-back restrictions from anyresidual herbicides thathave been applied to thewheat. Many of the common-ly used sulfonylurea herbi-cides, including Ally, AllyExtra, Finesse, Glean,

Amber, Peak, Rave, Maver-ick, Olympus, and Power-Flex are very persistent andhave fairly long crop rota-tion guidelines.

In general, the most tol-erant summer crop toresidues of these herbicidesis STS soybeans, followedby grain sorghum. Productlabels tend to specify grainsorghum, but foragesorghum and sudangrasseswould likely have similarlevels of tolerance. Onemajor exception to thisguideline is sorghum andMaverick herbicide. Sor-ghum is extremely suscepti-ble to Maverick and shouldnot be planted for at least 22months after application.

Corn, sunflowers, canola,and alfalfa tend to be themost susceptible crops tothe sulfonylurea herbicidesand have rotation guide-lines of 12 months or longer.

Most other commonlyused wheat herbicides inKansas have very short croprotation restrictions. Infields where herbicide car-ryover is a concern, it wouldbe best to wait until later inthe spring before planting toallow as much time as possi-ble for herbicide dissipa-tion. Tilling the soil to try to“dilute” the herbicideresidue likely will not havea great benefit and couldoffset the benefits of not till-ing the soil.

Always refer to the spe-cific herbicide label regard-ing crop rotation guidelinesand restrictions. Labelguidelines for crop rotationare often complicated bysoil pH and geography.Some product labels havevery rigid crop rotation re-strictions, while other la-bels allow shorter intervalsin the case of catastrophiccrop failure, as long as theproducer is willing to acceptthe risk of crop injury.

I hope very few of youhave to make these toughdecisions on your wheatfields. Farming alwaysbrings new challenges eachyear and we must strive toreact with the most appro-priate management deci-sions in each situation. Animportant step in the deci-sion making process is get-ting out and scouting yourown fields so you can re-spond to their individualneeds and issues.

Friend is a word that Idon’t throw around

Though it’s used andabused, I still like thesound.

I save if for peoplewho’ve done right by me

And I know I can counton if ever need be.

Some of my friends drivebig limousines

Own ranches and banksand visit with queens.

And some of my friends

are up to their necksIn overdue notes and

can’t write a check!

They’re singers or ropersor writers of prose

And others, God bless'em, can’t blow their ownnose!

I guess bein’ friendsdon’t have nothin’ to do

With talent or money orknowin’ who’s who.

It’s a comf’terbul feelin’

when you don’t have to care‘Bout choosin’ your

words or bein’ quite fair‘Cause friends’ll just lis-

ten and let go on byThose words you don’t

mean and not bat an eye.

It makes a friend happy

to see your success.They’re proud of yer

good side and forgive all therest.

And that ain’t so easy, allof the time

Sometimes I get crazyand seem to go blind!

Yer friend just might takeyou on home

Or remind you sometimethat you’re not alone.

Or ever so gently pull youback to the ground

When you think you canfly with no one around.

A hug or a shake,whichever seems right

Is the high point of givin’,I’ll tell ya tonight,

All worldly riches andtributes of men

Can’t hold a candle to theworth of a friend.

Genetically engineeredfood animals could providea sustainable means to feeda fast-growing world popu-lation, yet regulatory hur-dles keep such animals offthe market, according to anaward-winning scientistwho recently spoke at theUniversity of Nebraska-Lin-coln.

The world can ill affordthe delay, said Alison VanEenennaam, professor ofanimal science and a Coop-erative Extension specialistat the University of Califor-nia, Davis.

“The world’s food de-mands in the rather near fu-

ture won’t allow us to wastetime,” she said.

Van Eenennaam, 2014award winner of the Bor-laug Council for Agricultur-al Science and TechnologyCommunication Award, isknown not only for her workwith biotechnology, but alsofor her ability to help oth-ers understand complex an-imal biotechnology and ge-nomics.

She delivered theHeuermann Lecture recent-ly for UNL’s Institute ofAgriculture and NaturalResources. Named in honorof donors Keith and NormaHeuermann of Phillips, the

public lecture series high-lights issues relating tofood security and naturalresources.

According to the UnitedNations, more than 25,000people die of hunger everyday around the world, VanEenennaam said.

Genetic engineering,which could significantlyboost food production,faces tough scrutiny thoughit has not harmed anyone,she added.

For centuries, breedershave used conventionalmethods to produce ani-mals with desired traits byselecting and mating males

and females to produce off-spring that are taller, heav-ier or more fertile, for ex-ample.

Genetic engineeringuses more targeted andpowerful methods to intro-duce desirable traits intoanimals, said Van Eenen-naam.

Although animal scien-tists have been using genet-ic engineering techniquesfor many years, to date onlyfour pharmaceutical or in-dustrial applications havebeen approved by federalauthorities.

No multinational corpo-rations are currently work-

ing to produce geneticallyengineered animals, shesaid. It is too difficult andcostly to navigate the regu-latory hurdles.

It costs $130 million tobring a genetically engi-neered crop to market, VanEenennaam said. Mean-while, a Canadian companyhas spent more than $60million since 1989 in an at-tempt to obtain regulatoryapproval to grow salmonthat are genetically engi-neered to be larger.

With other countries nowdeveloping genetically en-gineered cattle for foodpurposes, Van Eenennam is

concerned about Americanagriculture if the U.S. is un-able to do the same.

Van Eenennam calledfor consistent regulationacross products based onrisk levels – not based onhow they are made.

New technologies doneed to be regulated forsafety, she said. But “in aworld facing burgeoning de-mands on agriculture frompopulation growth, econom-ic growth, and climatechange, overregulation isan indulgence that globalfood security can ill af-ford.”

Hours: Mon.-Fri. 8-5; Sat.: 8-12

There’s nothing like adown-filled sleeping bag tohold off the cold of anAlaskan night. It’s so com-fortable and warm that itwould take an earthquakeor even a herd of hungrygrizzly bears to make youwant to leave that sack ofgoose feathers. A hard day’sride had put me and mypartner, Don, in camp alongthe banks of Alaska’s FoxRiver near ClearwaterSlough.

It was heavily forestedcountry and a place where itwould be tough to find hors-es if they wandered too farin hobbles. We tied the twosaddle horses and a packhorse up tight to separatetrees so we wouldn’t have toworry about finding them inthe morning. A long ridecombined with a good woodfire dinner and completewith questionable campfirestories made us sleepy. Weheaded for the tent andturned in for the nightknowing the livestock andcamp were in good order.Goose feathers and the gur-gling of the river settled usinto a deep sleep.

But not for long. We wereawakened by a crashingnoise that did sound like aherd of grizzly bears charg-ing through the woods nearcamp. Warm feathers or not,we both jumped from oursleeping bags and scram-bled for flashlights and ri-fles to see what was goingon. We checked our horsesand saw they were jumpybut still tied. The noise wasgetting louder and comingour way.

It didn’t take long for thecommotion to come charg-ing into camp. It wasn’tbears but something else.Hobbled horses came crash-ing into our camp crow-hop-ping along like they didn’tknow they were hobbled. Inthe dark with only the flash-lights to see, we managed tostay out of their way andkeep from being trampled.

Three hobbled horsemanaged to demolish ourcamp. They crashed aroundthe camp for a few minutesand then headed upriverleaving us a mess and fright-ening our tied horses. Ourtent was knocked down, a flyrod was busted and our sup-plies and gear were scat-tered everywhere but ourhorses were still secure.Don and I looked at eachother and I said “Where didthey come from?”

That question was an-swered the next morningwhen a bareback rider on abig Percheron came ridinginto camp just as the coffeepot was making its lastperks on the hot coals.

He looked around thewrecked camp.

“I see my horses camethrough here.”

“What gives you thatidea?” my partner answeredin a threatening tone.

Not wishing to carry hisobservations any further, hewaved and took the trail upriver after his crow-hoppingmarauders.

He was an outfittercamped half a mile off theriver. Why had he hobbledhorses in this dense coun-try? We wondered aboutthat while we took turnsfishing with only one fly rod.There’s times and placeswhere hobbles are the bestbet to restrain your animalsfrom covering too muchcountry and leaving youafoot. Those three horsesgot around pretty good withtheir front feet tied. It wascertain they weren’t rookiesto hobbles. The barebackrider came back throughlater that day leading the

three fugitives. “I justbought these three and Iguess I should have side-lined them. They’re toosavvy about hobbles. Sorryabout your camp. It won’thappen again.” When he leftwe went back to arguingabout whose turn it was touse the surviving fly rod ofthe horse rampage. It wasimportant because the redsalmon were hitting and itwas easy to lose track of whocaught the last fish. Hobblesare a good tool for horse-men. If you train your horseto respect them, you willsave yourself a lot of troubleand always have a way tokeep your horse in a con-fined area. The outfittersaid he should have side-lined his horses, meaning,he should have tied a fronthobbled leg to a back leg, re-stricting movement evenmore. Or, he could havemeant tying the horse’s headto a front hobbled leg tomake travel more difficult.

It’s a good idea to hobbletrain your horse. It pays div-idends when you want yourhorse to graze in a smallarea or don’t have anythingto tie him to when you haveto dismount and leave himfor a while. If a horse that’shobble trained tangles inwire he’ll most likely re-spect the restraint of thewire and not panic when hefeels trapped. He’ll standstill until released from thewire and prevent injury.Hobbles can solve manyproblems. A horse that pawsthe ground can be hobbledto break him from diggingholes when tied. A marethat won’t let her foal nurseand kicks at the baby canhave her hind legs hobbledto protect the foal until shelearns to accept her baby.

There are a lot of uses forhobbles but the one that hasme stumped is the so-calledMormon Hobble. They aredesigned like a puzzle tokeep anyone who doesn’tknow the puzzle from re-leasing the hobbles andstealing the horse. I wonderwho thought that up? Musthave been a lot of horsethieves around. A roundpen is a good, safe place tointroduce a horse to hob-bles for the first time. Be-

fore you start, tie your shoelaces together and get a feelof what your horse is aboutto go through. You’ll proba-bly stumble and fall till youlearn how to handle the re-straint. Your horse will dothe same thing and you’llknow what he’s goingthrough and can help himovercome the dilemma.Start by using your lariatand rope a front foot. Pullgentle pressure till he givesand lifts his foot for you. Assoon as he lifts, hold it therefor a few seconds and thenrelease it. Do this manytimes on all four feet untilhe gives willingly to thepressure. Patience and rep-etition are a virtue whenworking with horses.

Buy or make a set of hob-bles out of soft cotton ropeat least 3/4 inch in diameter.Halter your horse and con-nect a lead rope to the hal-

ter so in case he falls youcan support his head andkeep him from injuring him-self. You had already desen-sitized your horse’s legs soyou should now be able toattach the hobbles without afight. Step back and hold thelead rope. He’ll struggle forawhile and may even fall.Use the lead rope to keephim from banging his head.Here you have to use yourown judgment for the hors-es’ safety. When he stopsstruggling, take the hobblesoff and reassure the horse.Have him take a few stepsand then repeat the proce-dure several more timesthat day. Spend several daysintroducing him to hobblesuntil he learns to acceptthem and you feel he is com-fortable having his legs tiedtogether.

Consider hobbles part ofbasic training. Your horse

will be the winner in thelong run if you introducethem when you’re confidentyou have thoroughly sackedout and desensitized the an-imal to the point that youbelieve he can put up withmost of the commotion hu-mans can concoct.

After he’s hobbletrained, he might figure outhow to travel fairly fast withhis legs tied like the outfit-ter’s horses that camethrough our camp. If thathappens, restrain them

more with sidelines or ahead rope until they learnto stick around when you’reout of the saddle. Wheneverything is working okaywith the hobble trainedhorse, you can trade in yourcotton training hobbles for astore-bought leather pairand rest assured at nightthat your pony will bearound in the morning.

The U.S. Department ofAgriculture’s (USDA) Natu-ral Resources ConservationService (NRCS) is makingavailable $332 million in fi-nancial and technical assis-tance through the Agricul-tural Conservation Ease-ment Program (ACEP).ACEP applications may besubmitted at any time to

NRCS; however, applica-tions for the current fund-ing cycle must be submittedon or before May 15, 2015.

ACEP easements helpensure productive farm andranch lands remain in agri-culture and protect the crit-ical wetlands and grass-lands, home to diversewildlife and plant species.The 2014 Farm Bill consoli-dated three previous con-servation easement pro-grams into ACEP to make iteasier for diverse agricul-tural landowners to fullybenefit from conservationinitiatives. In 2014, NRCSused $328 million in ACEPfunding to enroll an esti-mated 145,000 acres of farm-land, grassland, and wet-lands through 485 new ease-ments.

In Kansas, there are anestimated 4,800 acres ofgrasslands and wetlands en-rolled through the neweasements, according toNRCS state conservationist,Eric B. Banks. ACEP’s agri-cultural land easements notonly protect the long-termviability of the nation’s foodsupply by preventing con-version of productive work-ing lands to non-agricultur-al uses, but they also sup-port environmental quality,historic preservation,wildlife habitat, and protec-tion of open space. Ameri-can Indian tribes, state andlocal governments, and non-governmental organizationsthat have farmland or grass-land protection programsare eligible to partner withNRCS to purchase conser-vation easements nation-wide. A key change underthe new agricultural landeasement component is thenew “grasslands of specialenvironmental signifi-cance” that will protecthigh-quality grasslands thatare under threat of conver-sion to cropping, urban de-velopment, and other non-grazing uses.

Wetland reserve ease-ments allow landowners tosuccessfully enhance andprotect habitat for wildlifeon their lands, reduce im-pacts from flooding,recharge groundwater, andprovide outdoor recreation-al and educational opportu-nities. NRCS provides tech-nical and financial assis-tance directly to private andtribal landowners to re-store, protect, and enhancewetlands through the pur-chase of these easements.Eligible landowners canchoose to enroll in a perma-nent or 30-year easement;tribal landowners also havethe option of enrolling in 30-year contracts.

To learn about ACEP andother technical and finan-cial assistance availablethrough NRCS conservationprograms, visit www.nrcs.usda.gov/GetStarted or yourlocal USDA Service Center.USDA is an equal opportu-nity provider and employer.

Dr. Howard Hill, a porkproducer and veterinarianfrom Cambridge, Iowa, whois chairman of NationalPork Producer’s CouncilTrade Policy Committee, re-cently testified on behalf ofNPPC before the HouseAgriculture Committee onthe benefits of trade to agri-culture. Hill stressed theimportance of trade to U.S.pork producers and urgedlawmakers to expeditiouslyapprove Trade PromotionAuthority (TPA). He notedthat the United States ran adeficit in pork trade until itstarted negotiating FreeTrade Agreements (FTAs).Because of trade agree-ments, the United States isnow the top exporter of pork

in the world, sending morepork to the 18 U.S. FTA part-ners than to the rest of theworld combined. NPPC alsopointed out in its writtenstatement that the 18 FTAnations collectively have apositive impact on the U.S.balance of trade. TPA legis-lation was expected to be in-troduced early in 2015, butSenate Finance Committeechairman Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, and Ranking MemberRon Wyden, D-Ore., so farhave not been able to cometo an agreement on the lan-guage of the bill. TPA de-fines U.S. negotiating objec-tives and priorities for tradeagreements and establishesconsultation and notifica-tion requirements for the

president to follow through-out the negotiation process.Once trade negotiators fi-nalize a deal, Congress getsto review it and vote yes orno – without amendments –on it. Congress has grantedTPA to every presidentsince 1974, with the most re-cent law being approved inAugust 2002 and expiringJune 30, 2007. The key rea-son TPA is needed, Hillpointed out in his testimony,is for concluding the Trans-Pacific Partnership negotia-tions among the UnitedStates and 11 Pacific Rimcountries. U.S. TPP part-ners will not get to theirbest and bottom-line offeruntil Congress passes TPA.Hill cited Iowa State Uni-

versity economist DermotHayes in saying that the po-tential TPP deal represent-ed the most significant com-mercial opportunity everfor U.S. pork producers,generating more than 10,000pork industry jobs.

Through April 15, pro-ducers and those affiliatedwith the cattle industry cantake advantage of free BeefQuality Assurance (BQA)online certification, cour-tesy of Boehringer Ingel-heim Vetmedica, Inc. (BIVI)and the BQA program, fund-ed by the beef checkoff.Visit bqa.org/team to re-ceive your certificationtoday!

BQA helps increase con-sumer confidence in thebeef industry by demon-strating that the industrystrives to produce a safe,wholesome product. All seg-

ments of the industry canbenefit from becomingBQA-certified, includingproducers from cow-calf,dairy, stocker and feedlotoperations, and anyone af-filiated with those seg-ments. With an overall focuson animal handling and dis-ease treatment and preven-tion, online certificationmodules are customized tomeet each segment’s needs.

“It worked great to breakup the training modules andcomplete them over a two-week period. It fit my sched-ule,” says Keith York, dairyproducer from Lake Gene-

va, Wis., and 2014 Dairy BQAAward winner. “It was notonly helpful for me to re-view some of the new ani-mal handling information,but it was also a great toolfor my employees. It was aneffective way to manage andtrain the employees so theyall knew where we stand oncattle handling and animalwelfare issues. It’s a greattool to reaffirm best man-agement practices.”

Beyond reinforcing in-dustry best practices for cat-tle production, obtainingBQA certification can be auseful tool in an ever-chang-

ing industry landscapewhere consumers want to beassured they are receiving aproduct raised in ways thatalign with BQA.

More than 16,000 have en-rolled in the BQA free certi-fication program since BIVIpartnered with BQA in 2013— an impressive numberthat reflects both beef anddairy producers’ commit-ment to producing a qualitybeef product.

The Douglas County Con-servation District is con-ducting a sign-up throughJune 15, 2015 to accept re-quests for state financial as-sistance to install enduringconservation practices. Theconservation district admin-isters state cost-share pro-grams locally to improvewater quality and reduce

soil erosion. Funding is pro-vided by the Division ofConservation, Kansas De-partment of Agriculturethrough appropriation fromthe Kansas Water PlanFund.

Landowners with naturalresource concerns on theirproperty are encouraged tovisit the Douglas County

Conservation District to dis-cuss the possibility of re-ceiving state financial assis-tance. Funding is providedthrough cost-share pay-ments to landowners for eli-gible practices such as ter-races, waterways, grassplantings, livestock watersupplies, cross-fencing, fail-ing septic systems and aban-doned water well plugging.The sign up does not guar-antee approval of cost-sharefinancial assistance. Proj-ects started or completedprior to being approved forfunding are not eligible for

these funds.Following the sign up

deadline, each request willbe carefully reviewed to en-sure eligibility. The pro-posed project is ranked ac-cording to a system devel-oped by the Douglas CountyConservation District. Theranking system ensures fair-ness to landowners and en-sures that cost-share fundsare used to meet local con-servation priorities. Land-owners approved for theprogram are notified of thepractice(s) approved andthe estimated amount of

cost-share that will be pro-vided. Before the work canbegin, the contract is ap-proved by the Division ofConservation and must besigned by the landowner(s).

The conservation districtworks closely with theUSDA Natural ResourcesConservation Service(NRCS) to protect and con-serve natural resources, pri-marily soil and water. Con-servation practices fundedwith state cost-share fundsmust be installed and main-tained according to NRCSand DOC specifications. It isnecessary that landownerswork closely with NRCS inthe planning stage to ensure

practices are applied cor-rectly. Technical assistancefor these practices is provid-ed free of charge by theUSDA.

For the week of April 1, 2015

The Kansas Departmentof Agriculture has complet-ed surveillance and testingin Leavenworth and Wyan-dotte counties and liftedmovement restrictions forthe quarantined area. Move-ment of live poultry andpoultry products, includingeggs, can resume as normal.

KDA officials surveyedand tested every poultrypremise within the infectedzone, multiple premises inthe buffer zone and re-sponded to seven sick birdcalls. All test results werefound to be negative.

“We appreciate the citi-zens that self-reported theirflocks. It has allowed us toeffectively identify the num-ber of flocks in the area andensure we stamped out thisvirus,” said Dr. JustinSmith, Kansas Deputy Ani-mal Health Commissioner.“We could not have re-sponded as quickly as wedid without the great sup-port of both county emer-gency management coordi-nators as well as the fantas-tic facilities provided by theFairmount Township FireStation.”

Avian Influenza is a con-tagious, rapidly spreadingviral disease affectingbirds. Outbreaks of a strainof avian influenza have oc-curred in Missouri,

Arkansas, Minnesota, Ore-gon, South Dakota, Washing-ton and Idaho and are notconsidered to be a threat topublic health or the foodsupply. Avian Influenza ex-ists naturally in many wildbirds and can be transmit-ted by contact with infectedanimals or ingestion of in-fected food or water. TheCenter for Disease Controlconsiders the risk to peoplefrom these HPAI H5 infec-tions in wild birds, back-yard flocks and commercialpoultry, to be low. Nohuman infections with thevirus have been detected atthis time.

Kansas Animal HealthCommissioner Dr. BillBrown encourages all poul-try owners to continue toclosely monitor their flocksand contact their local vet-erinarian immediately ifbirds appear infected. For alisting of symptoms of HPAI,visit www.agriculture.ks.gov/avianinfluenza.com. Farm-ers and ranchers can pro-tect their flocks with goodbiosecurity practices in-cluding:

• Isolate new animals• Move all livestock away

from boundaries of yourproperty

• Clean clothing andboots should be worn whencontact with livestock is ex-

pected.• Thoroughly clean and

disinfect equipment and an-

imal areas• Monitor your animals

for signs of the disease

The National Cattle-men’s Beef Associationhails the passage of SouthDakota Senator JohnThune’s amendment to theFiscal Year 2016 budget res-olution to create a deficitneutral reserve fund toeliminate the death tax.Following the vote, Thuneissued the following state-ment:

“Senate Republicans’budget is a framework formore efficient, effective,and accountable govern-ment, which is why it was soimportant that we takesteps to eliminate barriersto small business survivaland growth by passing thisimportant amendment thatwill help to repeal thedeath tax. Imposing a taxrate as high as 40 percenton savings is not just bad

for the economy, it’s unfairto families that have savedand built job-creating smallbusinesses in their localcommunities. I’m pleasedthe Senate acted today infavor of this common-senseamendment, and hope wecan continue promotingpolicies that give farmers,ranchers, and family busi-ness owners peace of mindof knowing that they nolonger have to spend sub-stantial sums on planningto minimize their death taxliability.”

Earler this month, sever-al ag groups had represen-tatives in front of the HouseWays and Means – callingon Congress to eliminatethe estate tax.

American Farm Bureaumember and Tennesseefarmer Brandon Whitt testi-

fied before the House Waysand Means Committee,where he outlined theharmful impact the estatetax has on family-ownedbusinesses.

“Agriculture looks dif-ferent on farms from stateto state but we all face thesame reality that an uncer-tain tomorrow can bring,”Whitt said. While facing un-predictable weather andfluctuating markets, farm-ers and ranchers make de-cisions to expand theirbusinesses and remaincompetitive. “Why shoulduncertainties over estatetaxes be added to these oth-ers? Our job is hard enoughas it is.”

Whitt’s family knows theharmful effects of the estatetax firsthand. Batey Farms,which Whitt runs with his

wife – the seventh genera-tion on the farm – and fa-ther-in-law, changed com-pletely when his father-in-law was forced to sell offland to pay estate taxes:The land was lost to devel-opment, never to be recov-ered. Today, they continueto face expensive, long-termdecisions to make BateyFarms viable far into the fu-ture, but they are commit-ted to preserving the landfor their community and fu-ture generations.

“We believe that ourfarm adds value to ourtown, that our neighborsvalue our open space, thatour customers value havinga local food source and thatour farm market creates asense of community,” Whittsaid.

Around 90 percent of

farm and ranch assets areilliquid, with the value tiedup in land, buildings andequipment. For Whitt’s fam-ily, and thousands of othersjust like them, the ability togrow a business and pass it

on to the next generation isslowed by a tax policy in di-rect conflict with the desireto preserve and protect ournation’s family-ownedfarms and ranches.

Landowner StewardshipWorkshop to be held April 18

By Miranda ReimanAs soon as the planters

are in the shed, the crew atWeborg Feeding Co. nearPender, Neb., will unpackthe shades in preparationfor summer in the yard.

The 16 portable tarp sys-tems they’ve purchased inthe last two years are justone more step in their effortto minimize heat stress onfinished animals.

“Shades have been agreat addition, another toolfor the toolbox,” says TylerWeborg, who co-managesthe 25,000-head feedlot withhis dad Kent. “I wouldn’tsay they’re a cure-all, but

they’ve worked in combina-tion with sprinklers.”

The family consultedwith Terry Mader, retiredNebraska beef Extensionspecialist, to develop a planfor dealing with the prob-lem days: the hot, humidand still. He says shade isjust one of the many man-agement and facility optionsproducers have to help theiranimals through thosetimes.

“You really shouldn’t gointo the summer without aheat mitigation plan,” saysMader, who recently sum-marized decades of re-search into “Guidelines for

Managing Heat Stress inFeedyard Cattle.” The bestmanagement practices, de-veloped for Certified AngusBeef LLC, can be found atwww.cabpartners.com/educators.

“All cattle, of all sizes,shapes and kinds can beunder heat stress,” he says.“It’s a continuum where theblacks and dark reds willabsorb the most solar radia-tion but the whites absorbsome, too. And all of thosethings are confounded withbody condition, hair coatand feed intake.”

Similarly, there is no sin-gle solution.

“There is a low probabil-ity that just one thing isgoing to be the sole solution,but it will take the edge off,”Mader says. “Shade is agood one. It certainly willeliminate the most severepart of the heat load, butyou have to understand thatthere are more things youcan do to keep the animalscomfortable. You can pickand choose. You don’t haveto do them all, but these arethe things at your disposal.”

Other suggestions in-clude moving processingtimes to cooler times of day,wetting portions of the pen’ssurface or using sprinklers,

and altering feeding sched-ule or ration.

“If you do at least onething, it’s better than noth-ing,” he says, “but if you cando two or three things, thenyou have a greater chance ofminimizing that impact andmaintaining the cattle onfeed.”

For the Weborgs, port-able options allow them toplace relief in the pens athighest risk, like those withanimals closest to market-ing.

“The combination of theshade and sprinklers getsthe cattle spread out andgives them a chance to movebetween the sprinkler, thebunk, the tank and back tothe tank,” Weborg says. “Inobserving them, they rotatein and out.”

Although there is an ini-tial investment, he says“shades pay for themselvespretty quickly” when figur-ing lost gain and other po-tential health problems as-sociated with heat stress.Mader also notes decreaseddark cutters and qualitygrade impacts with coolingstrategies.

“We did see some hardnumbers on our perform-ance, where in years previ-ous cattle maybe went offfeed, but with the shade andsprinklers, it seemed likethey stayed more consis-tent,” Weborg says. “Theywere more comfortable andthey continued to eatthroughout the day.”

That appetite is a goodsign. “There is climatic andmetabolic heat stress, andone of the main mechanismsthe animal will have is thathe’ll just stop eating so thathe can drop that metabolicheat load,” Mader says. If

cattle continue to eat, it’s agood indication that preven-tion measures are workingand they’re able to dissipateheat, he says. Mader sug-gests producers monitor theweather conditions careful-ly, poised with a plan to re-spond.

“If you need to haveextra water space, have thetanks available and a mech-anism to fill them,” he offersas an example.

Seventy degrees. That’s acritical number for Weborg.“If the temperature doesn’tget below 70 degreesovernight and through theearly morning, cattle don’thave a chance to cool off,”he says. “You keep an eye oncattle movement. If cattlestart milling around, look-ing for air, you better get aplan in place and keepahead of them.”

Humidity and air floware other significant vari-ables to watch.

It would be easier ifthere was a one-size-fits-allapproach, Mader says, “butwhen you’re dealing with anexternal environment youhave no control of, that’s avariable component youhave to be aware of relativeto the welfare of the ani-mal.”

In the feeding belt, mostof the “heat events” occurfrom July 1 to August 15. Al-though true heat emergen-cies are somewhat rare, We-borg says it’s important forboth themselves and theirfeeding customers to knowthey’re prepared. “We try todo the best job we can,” hesays.
