Kubota Hay Tools and Spreaders Now Arriving at Kubota Dealerships Nationwide Kubota Tractor Corporation recently announced the availability of its first phase of all-new Kubota Hay Tools and Spreaders in U.S. Kubota dealerships. The new machinery further expands Kubota’s strength in the agricultural market, allowing its dealers to serve as a convenient, one-stop destination for Kubota tractors, hay implements and spreaders. “These tools are built on customer-focused thinking and deliver reliable and industry-leading quality, all carrying the well-recognized and deeply trusted Kubota name,” said Dave Palmer, Kubota’s hay tools product manager. “These are the first in a series of product developments underway that will allow us to realize our agriculture growth strategy, and we’re excited to begin delivering full-service tools to our customers.”
Side-Mount Disc Mowers Offer Industry First Fully-Welded Cutterbar Kubota offers the DM1000 and DM2000-Series sidemounted disc mowers with a working width ranging from 5’6” up to 10’6”. With three counter-rotating blades per disc, Kubota mowers cut constantly, which means one-third less load per blade. Additionally, with smoother power usage, Kubota mowers produce neat, cleanly cut stubble.
solid transfer of power with little slack. When an obstacle is encountered, the mower swings backwards to protect the cutterbar.
strength. Its solid design allows the tedder to accommodate hefty loads and during transport, the hydraulic folding action automatically raises the tines.
Kubota’s DM2000 Series models are fitted with an integrated Break Away system that provides maximum cutterbar protection without the need to stop or reverse the tractor. When an obstacle is struck, the Break Away system will be activated, swinging the attachment backward and over the obstacle, then returning to the original working position automatically.
First Pull-Type RA1042T Single Rotary Rake
When in transport, the mowers are folded to a vertical position well behind the tractor. The center of gravity is close to the tractor, ensuring excellent weight distribution and transport stability. The mower is easily lifted via a hydraulic cylinder without activating the tractor’s three point linkage. The advantage is less wear on the tractor and machine, as the PTO stays in the same position, minimizing vibrations in the transmission.
Rotary Tedder Optimizes Dry Hay Performance The new Kubota TE4052T rotary tedder is designed to optimize performance for producing dry hay. The four rotors, in combination with a wide overlap, ensure complete pick up of the hay and equal distribution over the entire 17’1” working width. The Kubota TE4052T rotors are driven by a low-maintenance gearbox with only one grease point. The gearbox is mounted directly to the frame to provide full support across the tedder. The pull-type design with a low weight of 904 lbs. is ideal for applications with low horsepower tractors or on hilly terrain.
A fully-welded cutterbar with overlapping C-channels sets Kubota disc mowers apart. The strong and rigid design ensures a high level of durability, while the cutterbar’s high oil capacity produces a low working temperature for efficient cooling and lubrication of the entire cutterbar. The Kubota cutterbar is designed for low maintenance and offers quiet operation. The long curved gear wheels run smoothly in oil and provide a
The Kubota TE4052T is built around a rugged new box section chassis, made out of one piece of metal with only one welding seam for maximum rigidity. The chassis design is fully enclosed at the top edge for maximum

The Kubota RA1042T single rotary rake features oilimmersed cam discs and guide rollers. The arm bearings are integrated into and permanently greased inside the Kubota-developed cam track for low maintenance. The cam tracks are specifically tailored to individual rotor diameters for optimum raking at any working width and on any model. Fitted with high-lift curved tine arms, the single rotary rake ensures a regular and even windrow formation. The curved shape prevents material from being pushed in the direction of the rotor and allows for higher lifting out of the swath. With 19.7” lifting height on the HydroLift, windrows are easily cleared when driven over. The rotor is lifted using only a single acting valve. A 4-wheel 18.5” tandem axle is standard and offers excellent ground contour to minimize the amount of dirt into the windrow. The Kubota RA1042T single rotary rake is conveniently set for transport and can be raised from the tractor driver’s seat. Additionally, the guard is folded manually and tine arms are quickly removed for an even more narrow transport width.
Kubota’s Super-C tines are made of 9mm spring steel for added strength and extended service life, even when tedding large quantities. The tines are equal length, so there is no need to store two types of tines, and triangular washers allow the tine angle to be set quickly and easily in three different positions.
A2
Ideal for low horsepower tractors, Kubota’s first pulltype rotary rake, the RA1042T, has a working width of 13’9” and is fitted with 11 tangential tine arms and four double tines per arm. The high tine frequency ensures clean raking performance, even at a reduced rpm and high travel speed.

Unique Pendulum Spreaders The Kubota VS-Series spreaders, VS220, VS400, VS400VITI, and VS600 are easy to operate and provide outstanding accuracy in all conditions. With a spreading width range from 3’ to 49’, the SuperFlow spreading system and pendulum movement of the spout ensures the application rate is identical on both sides, giving the operator maximum accuracy for any application. This results in a symmetric spreading pattern and excel-

lent overlap. Kubota’s VS-Series spreaders are built for a long service life with an optimized frame shape, a fiberglass reinforced polyester hopper, stainless steel metering discs, and unique Duracoat corrosion resistant paint. The versatile spreaders are popular for golf courses, vineyards, and general farming applications. All Kubota VS-Series spreaders can be controlled manually, hydraulically or electronically. The plastic scale on the spreading unit allows continuous adjustment of the application rate in pounds per acre, so the risk of spreading errors is minimal. Using the spreading table and the dial, the operator can determine the desired quantity of fertilizer for every spreading width and forward speed.

Art’s Way V-180 Spreader Equipped with the DigiStar Nutrient Management System Accurate manure application is becoming a necessity in today’s demanding environmental and economic climates. Between rising fertilizer prices, heavier governmental regulations and the push for transparency in food production, tracking each nutrient application has never been more important. To meet the growers’ need for managed and increased transparency of manure application, Arts’ Way now offers a Digi-Star® NT460 nutrient management system as an option to its largest Roda V-series spreader, the V-180. Working in tandem with the spreader, the Digi-Star® NT460 system uses on-the-go weight reading combined with travel speed and GPS coordinates to calculate and store the application for any field location. “We understand the importance of lowering overhead costs in all facets of crop production,” said Brian Crouch, Director of Sales at Art’s Way. “Making available a GPS-based management system in one of our most popular manure spreaders meets growers’ need to maximize efficiency as well gives them the confidence that they are complying with ever increasing regulations for protecting the environment.”
formation is stored in the indicator. The scale system uses load cells customized to the V-180 spreader that measure the weight and application rate of the manure. The system compares weight and GPS information for detailed feedback. The indicator displays actual tons per acre and stores information from the GPS and load cells for future use. Operators can set rate tolerances and analyze data in the field if necessary. So growers can see and react to application rates in real time, the indicator has a large readable display and intuitive operation. With the indicator’s new, patent pending AutoLog™ automatic start/stop function, there is no need to remember to push the Start/Stop button when unloading the V-180 spreader. With the use of a magnetic switch and new software, it is done automatically. The USB drive on the indicator is used to easily transfer data between the field and a computer. Nutrient Tracker software is an easy-to-use computer program that stores and maps application data for monitoring and management. With the software, growers can easily manage manure application and store or print data, including highly-accurate maps and graphs. They can record the percentage of nitrogen and phosphorous application as well as provide accurate billing for custom application. Data can be exported in multiple formats, including Excel and SHP files. “The system can reduce costs by minimizing supplemental fertilizer required,” Crouch said. “Furthermore, as farms have converged with expanding residential or protected areas, the DNR, USDA and the EPA have stepped up their interest in monitoring manure applications. With this system a responsible grower can show data of proper application.” The Roda V-180 from Art’s Way is a dual-axel spreader with an 18-foot box and a 468 cubic-foot capacity. “The V-180 is one of the most rugged, reliable and productive spreaders on the market,” Crouch said. “It meets producers’ needs for greater capacity, strength and
The NT460 system has five main components: a GPS receiver, a scale system, an indicator, a USB drive and nutrient tracker software. The GPS gathers information from satellites to track position and speed of the manure spreader. The in-

technological enhancements.” Twin vertical beaters on the V-180 rotate at 420 RPM for uniform spreading of all types of manure. Beaters are easily removable for stockpiling in the off-season. Case-hardened teeth are optional. The V-180’s double apron boasts dual drive, variable speed and is reversible. “A reversible apron is very convenient when something other than manure comes in contact with the beaters.” Crouch said. A hinged slop gate provides for uniform unloading of peaked loads. The gate is hydraulically controlled with driver selectable positioning and is designed to use for both manure and forage. The floor of the V180 spreaders is 1/2 inch of solid virgin poly UHMW for durability, ease of unloading and longer life. “This floor surface significantly reduces friction and keeps loads moving easier,” Crouch said. Tandem axels on the V-180 spreader improve weight distribution and reduce soil compaction. An installation kit is available to easily convert the box from a pull-type to a truck-mounted model. The spreader features chemically etched metal to remove all mill scale and contaminants, ensuring better paint adhesion. It has component primer and top-coat for a long-lasting finish.

Since they were introduced in 2007, Case IH Puma® series tractors have proven to be outstandingly maneuverable, dependable tractors for livestock producers, mixed-farm enterprises and row crop farms. For 2014, Case IH introduces the exciting addition of six new models in the lineup.
“The 2014 Tier 4 B/Final Puma model tractors now offer more power than ever before, in addition to an enhanced cab that was first introduced in late-model Tier 4A Puma tractors. These new Puma tractors can be equipped with advanced end-of-row controls and new rear remote control on the MultiFunction handle,” says Dave Bogan, Case IH Marketing Manager for Puma and Maxxum® tractors. “These tractors were designed to increase operator efficiency and provide intuitive use in a comfortable cab environment.”
Case IH developed the new system in collaboration with Harvest Tec, the industry leader in hay preservative and the exclusive supplier of ThirtyPlus™ hay preservative. Producers use ThirtyPlus™ hay preservative to bale hay with moisture content up to 30 percent without worrying about dangerous heat levels or toxic mold damage. ThirtyPlus™ is created from acetic acid and buffered propionic acid, which is also found naturally in the digestive system of horses, making it safe for livestock and also non-corrosive to baling equipment. “Hay production is a highly time-sensitive process due to changing weather conditions and markets,” says Carling. “The 600 Series Automatic Applicator System allows producers to take control of the process – by locking in quality hay that can be safely stored for years, and will still look and feed as well as when it was first baled.”

The New 72 M-AZ Brush Cutting Machine Offers a Redesigned Motor for Greater Performance
DR® Power Equipment Extends Iconic Trimmer Mower Line to Tow-Behind Model DR Power Equipment has long been an industry innovator of lawn and yard trimming equipment. After introducing the revolutionary DR Trimmer Mower—a back-saving ‘trimmer on wheels’—in the mid-1980’s, they continued the line with the DR 3-Point Hitch Trimmer Mower for tractor owners in the summer of 2013. This spring, DR is introducing their next innovation: the DR 6.25 Tow-Behind Trimmer Mower.
Brush Wolf has announced the addition of a new powerful number 8 bearing housing and the redesign of the motor for their popular 72 M-AX. These combined features make the 72 M-AX the brush cutter that delivers more brute force than any other rotary brush cutter available. This makes it the cutter of choice for the most difficult brush jobs. The redesigned 72 M-AZ is an efficient cutting machine that houses a 11.9 hydraulic motor. The machine features a 600 pound blade carrier that will roll over obstacles, like rocks or tree stumps, without a problem. The 150 pound number 8 bearing housing delivers incredible power to the three-blade carrier. In spite of the fact that it is a 600 pound blade carrier, it has smooth operation for a clean cut. The 72 M-AX can cut brush of all types, including trees.

DR 6.25 Tow-Behind Trimmer Mower
The DR 6.25 Tow-Behind Trimmer Mower tows behind a riding lawn tractor, allowing those with long fence lines, ponds, or garden borders to trim while they mow. Traditionally, the lawn care regime has included two steps: mowing the bulk of the lawn with a riding lawn tractor, and then going around the property again on foot to trim weeds and tall grasses from around flower beds, along fence lines, and up close to structures. With the new DR 6.25 Tow-Behind Trimmer Mower, property owners can complete both steps at once, mowing the lawn while trimming those hard-to-reach areas. The new model attaches easily with a standard pin hitch and is offset such that it trims outside the mower’s cutting path. Spring-loaded tensioning allows the trimmer head to easily deflect around trees, fence posts, and other obstacles, producing a clean trim right up close. continued...

And, regardless of the type of farming you do, the more work you perform after hours, the more valuable good lighting becomes. “I can observe my crop and what’s ahead of me in the field 100 percent better,” says George Krom of Rochester, Ind., who relies on Case IH LED lights so he can continue to farm his fields long after sunset. “The LED lights provide a much clearer and brighter light.” In fact, the lighting world has undergone some big changes over the last few years. Today’s LED lights produce a crisp, bright light – the closest to real daylight of any artificial light source – for reduced operator fatigue and increased visibility. And when you switch to LED lights, superior visibility isn’t the only bright spot: The solid-state construction of LED lights eliminates fragile bulbs, filaments and electrodes – making them perfect for the harsh conditions your equipment faces. Plus, LED lights last 20 times longer than a comparable High Intensity Discharge (HID) light, and there is no ballast to replace. The result: major time and money savings over the life of your machine. “These lights are an important investment in your personal safety,” notes Aaron Booth, Case IH Product Marketing Manager for lighting, electrical products and batteries. “By investing in LED work lights, you’ll not only save on parts and labor costs, but also the time and inconvenience that a failed light could cost you.”

The comprehensive range of LED work lights from Case IH can be easily installed on all types of tractors, combines and implements. They’re compact, highly durable, and best of all, they’re affordably priced. “I have LED lights on three pieces of my equipment: a restored 966 tractor, a Case IH Magnum 315 and on my Case IH combine,” says Krom. “The lights were simple to install and there were no complications.” You can choose from different lamp styles, as well as different beam patterns that cover more area than traditional lights.
travel allows the operator to push tremendous amounts of material into steep piles, then easily lift the blade high enough to avoid back dragging that would otherwise remove material that was just added to the pile. In addition, the new AG 240 blade features Grouser’s exclusive parallel lift system that has top and bottom connection points to keep the blade parallel to the front Grouser’s new AG 240 row crop blades are available in 12- to 16-foot widths and feature customized nameplates.
“If you’re considering adding work lights to your equipment, you’ll want to consider their use and location on your machinery before making your selections,” says Booth. “With so many options, it’s worth taking the time to talk with your Case IH dealer about which lights are right for you.” ____________________________________
Grouser Introduces New AG Series Row Crop Blades
of the tractor, even when it is lifted as high as possible. This reduces weight transfer and keeps the blade closer to the tractor for better control. The lift system also maintains the ideal angle for dozing, which gives the operator more precise control.
Grouser Products launched a new AG 240 row crop blade that is an upgrade to its AG 220 model. The blade features a new mounting system that provides higher ground clearance and a single-lever attachment system. The AG 240 blade allows users to attach and detach blades more quickly and with less hassle. It features a new parallel lift system that keeps the blade closer to the tractor for more precise control of material and an optional weight carrier bracket that allows users to quickly attach and detach weight packages.
Standard features of all AG Series blades include reversible, double-bevel cutting edges and customized nameplates. Double-bevel cutting edges are the industry standard for blades. Grouser edges are made of high-alloy, heat-treated boron steel, which provides excellent wear in high-abrasion applications. This, along with the ability to reverse the edge, allows for many hours of trouble-free dozing. To personalize its blades, the company provides customized nameplates for dealers or end users that mount directly to the blade.
The 54-inch-tall AG 240 blade is available in 12- to 16-foot widths and is compatible with a wide range of tractor brands. It can be quickly and easily mounted to the frames of 100- to 370-horsepower row crop tractors with a simple, bolt-on undercarriage design that saves time during initial installation. The AG 240 undercarriage and lift frame are installed high underneath the tractor to provide tremendous ground clearance.

The single-lever quick attach system is mounted at the front of the tractor, which allows one operator to quickly and efficiently align the tractor to the blade, drive forward and engage the lever to lock it into place. To detach the blade, the operator simply unhooks the hydraulic hoses, pulls the lever behind the blade and backs away. Grouser also redesigned the hydraulic hose connections at the front of the unit into one easy-access configuration that is mounted where the operator can quickly connect or disconnect the hoses. Once the blade is attached, the industry-leading blade

Bayer’s Annihilator™ Polyzone® Makes Insect Control Easy, All Season Long Bayer HealthCare LLC Animal Health Division has announced the introduction of a broad-spectrum premise spray called Annihilator™ Polyzone®. The product provides livestock producers with long-term control of crawling, flying and wood-infesting pests. Bayer’s proprietary technology allows the product to withstand aggressive surfaces, weather and wash-off conditions for up to 90 days. This residual enables users to maintain control with fewer applications which can result in reduced labor. “Calf facilities in the summer are one of the worst places you could be for flies,” said Dairy Manager Benny Rector from Hilmar, Calif. “We sprayed calf pens before we put calves in them, and we sprayed the surrounding area. The residual effects lead to less labor for me to put it on. And, it’s a constant, maintained control over those 8-12 weeks — that’s the big thing — it’s a constant kill.” The proprietary technology within Annihilator Polyzone forms a protective layer between the active ingredient particles and the applied area adhering them to the surface. As the Polyzone crystals erode over time, the active ingredient, deltamethrin, is slowly released, leading to effective control for up to 90 days. This residual gives users the ability to apply the product in many areas, as well as hard-to-spray areas. “With Annihilator Polyzone, we are providing livestock producers an effective long-term premise spray,” says Cary Christensen, DVM, Director, Food Animal Business Unit, Bayer. “This is part of the Bayer Defense Point System, an integrated pest control management system designed to help protect animal operations from pests. Because of the significant economic impact — and health and wellness affect — flies have on livestock operations, producers need additional tools to help manage flies.” Annihilator Polyzone is sold by the pint and distributed by Bayer HealthCare and available through Bayerapproved distributors.

Rural Healthcare Improving, But Healthy Behaviors Not as Much
T
here is good news about healthcare improving in rural USA, where healthcare has lagged in comparison to metropolitan areas. Several recent news and journal reports indicate progress in healthcare delivery in rural America, particularly in regions where agriculture predominates.
AgriSafe trained healthcare providers are available in twenty states in the U.S. and in Australia. AgriSafe offers free webinars about agricultural health topics several times each month to anyone who wishes to subscribe. Information is available on their website www.agrisafe.org.
Recent newscasts and newspaper articles report the Affordable Care Act (ACA) enrollment figures indicate rural residents are signing up for healthcare insurance in significant numbers in areas where insurance coverage has been lower than in metropolitan areas.
Specialized agricultural medicine training has become available to physicians, nurses and allied healthcare providers in seven states and in Australia and Turkey. Healthcare professionals in agricultural regions are encouraged to attend the nearest 40-hour training, which is available on the website cph.uiowa.edu/icash/education/ag-med-training/index.html.
Furthermore, the USDA announced a $50 million fund in December to improve rural mental health facilities – another positive step toward improving rural healthcare. An article in the latest issue (Winter 2014) of The Journal of Rural Health indicated there were no significant differences in the outcomes of treatments for strokes among patients in 18 rural Veterans Administration (VA) hospitals versus 110 urban VA hospitals. The same journal also reported samples of rural and urban Missouri physicians were equally concerned about preventive care, but rural residents were more resistant to undertaking preventive health measures. Rural areas where agriculture is the main economic force seem to be making more progress in healthcare than many nonfarm rural areas. What explains this? Not all rural areas are alike. The U.S. Census indicates rural people are poorer and less well educated than residents of most metropolitan areas except in well-to-do farming communities, such as many agricultural communities in the Midwest. Perhaps the positive upturn in many segments of the farm economy over the past few years until just recently has increased tax receipts and donations available for agricultural communities to improve their health facilities and healthcare workforces. The average education level of 3.2 years of college for beginning farm operators possibly also enhances their thinking about health concerns. The AgriSafe Network is a positive rural healthcare development. AgriSafe is a national nonprofit organization of rural nurses, doctors, researchers and other professionals who offer specialized health assessments, educational materials, personal protective equipment and follow-up services to persons engaged in agriculture.
April 2014
Completion of an agricultural medicine course is required to be recognized as an AgriSafe certified provider, but other professionals are welcome. Feedback from the course attendees is uniformly positive, with many saying it is one of the best educational endeavors they have ever undertaken. Serving on education, hospital and health boards and committees can become opportunities to establish agricultural health services and to encourage local healthcare providers to attend specialized training in the field of agricultural occupational health. There are still too few providers of healthcare services in rural and agricultural regions who are versed in the particular health issues that can occur to farmers, ranchers and agricultural laborers. Lives can be saved if their healthcare providers know more about what to examine for and how to treat unique presenting problems, such as exposures to agrichemicals.
undertake preventive measures, partly because they have less awareness of healthy behaviors and are more likely to reject advice. Incentives to promote healthful behaviors are built into the ACA. The ACA pays for an annual physician visit to assess wellness and undertake basic health tests for persons receiving Medicaid or Medicare-funded healthcare and requires most private insurers to also cover an annual wellness visit. Education about how to manage our own health gives all of us more control over our own destinies. Leaders in agricultural and other rural communities can have a significant impact on the health of community citizens by serving on local committees and boards where policies can be enacted to advance knowledge of healthy behavior lifestyles.
Dr. Michael R. Rosmann brings the perspective of a farmer in “Farm And Ranch Life”. Dr. Rosmann grew up on a mixed grain and livestock farm in Western Iowa where he experienced enjoyable hard work and 4-H, and witnessed the stresses that accompany farming and farm life. Dr. Rosmann developed the first mental health response in Iowa to the Farm Crisis of the 1980s. In 2001, Dr. Rosmann, along with partners in seven states, founded the nonprofit network, AgriWellness Inc. AgriWellness conducted research and provided counseling services to farm people. It became clearer that a specialized field – agricultural behavioral health – was needed to respond to the unique problems experienced by farmers, ranchers and others involved in agriculture.
Education matters more to health than ever before, says a just-released report from the VCU Center on Society and Health (societyhealth.vcu.edu/Page.aspx?nav=307). Rural people who are less literate than average face serious health disadvantages. The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation-funded report says persons with less education experience shorter lives, worse health as reflected by diabetes and heart disease, and are more likely to undertake risky health behaviors such as smoking and little exercise. A nationally representative survey of healthcare avoidance among rural populations, which was undertaken by Pennsylvania State University researchers and also reported in the latest issue of The Journal of Rural Health, agrees. Poor rural residents are more likely to suffer health perils and less likely to

“PROFITS GROW WITH KNIGHTRO”
Ken E. Knight May All Your Beef Come From “Happy” Cattle Of all the factors used to determine high quality beef, “happy” was never a term I had heard before. However, I recently overheard a conversation between two ladies as they were browsing the meat aisle of their local grocery store. “What do you look for when determining what cut of meat to buy?” “Well, grade of course,” replied the other. “Not me,” said her friend. “I need to picture them grazing in tall lush green pastures, not confined in overcrowded, hazardous cold concrete bunkers where they never see the light of day, or beaten into submission on the way to slaughter.”
cry from grass-fed, tasteless beef; kind of like cake without sugar! Oh, I see the red flags going up, “But all that fat isn’t healthy for you!” To those people, my response is one of moderation. Like sugar, too much isn’t good, but without it you might as well not even bake the cake. Without marbling you might as well be eating shoe leather. The beef industry respects those justified concerns of unhappy cattle, and too much of a good thing can be too much—thus, the origination of cutability grading. This is a measurement of too much fat, where leanness is compensated for with premium payments. In their quest to meet the demands of the consumer, the industry is constantly attempting to improve both quality and cutability grades.
She went on to say that she didn’t think there was that much difference in beef, so why eat meat that has been subjected to such inhumane conditions. “I want happy beef,” was her parting remark as she and her friend cordially went their separate ways.
What the industry lacks is an adequate means of educating the public. The average Joe on main street is easily swayed into buying into the latest fads, scare tactics and uneducated standards of meat selection. This has led to the production of a lot of inferior, poor quality beef. And if people keep buying into it, it will ultimately hurt an industry that has devoted more than 100 years of research and development.
Happiness is all about perception–but what could be further from the truth than that of ignoring those factors of grade that make all the difference in the world about the taste of beef?
cattle is a very competitive business. You do it to make money; not satisfy the whims of the heartfelt passionate few.
Grade is determined by marbling, age, and confirmation, all of which contribute to taste and acceptance by the consumer—the higher the grade, the higher the quality. It has been nothing to do with “happiness”–or this lady’s image of happiness.
One can’t ignore the happiness factor, but it’s kind of like raising kids. If we gave in to their every cry for happiness we would have them living in a candy store, without alarm clocks. They might be temporarily happy, but in the end what kind of product would we raise?
To acquire these attributes of high quality, it requires extremely costly input. If you build in the “happiness” factor the cost of production would be prohibitive. “...So lady, you can’t have your choice steak and eat it too. It’s just too costly.”
The same can be said for cattle. Though the grass-fed pampering concepts have a popular ring to them, sometimes we have to learn to say no, and do the right thing.
Do we want to go back in time where wild game was our primary source of red meat? Today, hunting is a recreational sport, for which the antlers are of more value than the meat. For those who might disagree, please put your own taste panel together. Compare a similar venison steak with that of a choice beefsteak. Case closed!
The only people that enjoy grass fed beef are those who don’t know any better. It’s like eating day old bread. It’s good until you’ve eaten the real thing, fresh out of the oven. Or, to think you’ve been loved until you experience love with passion, caring, and hope. It’s like tasting beef with marbling, age and confirmation: You’ ll never go back to the ol’ stuff!
If you’re unhappy with what I’ve had to say, remember the truth hurts. And if you do your own research, you will find that the majority of the cattle being finished today are raised in a happy, safe and healthy environment. So please be ever mindful and respectful of the fact that cattle are animals, and should not be compared to human beings.
So if this lady wants to be really happy, she should do some comparison-shopping. The answer will be easy, as it takes corn to produce choice beef– about 100 bu. per head to be exact. That’s a far
With that being said, may all of your happy beef come from happy cattle.
To achieve what this lady is talking about, you would have to finish your cattle in the liberal confines of lush green pastures with access to free choice self-feeders filled with scrumptious corn. The animal would have the best of all worlds, and the lady would have the best of all beef. But this is a world of fantasy that doesn’t deal with reality. In the real world, cost of production becomes paramount to all other considerations. Feeding

PONY TALES
By Ponty
Selecting “Happy” Cuts of Beef Meat selection can often defy common sense, and can draw a crowd when subjected to common sense. This was the scene as explained to me by one of my favorite students of the trade, LaVem Williams: He was browsing his favorite department in the grocery store, when he came upon this gigantic meat sale; a huge display freezer chucked full of rib eye steaks for an unbelievable low price. People were grabbing up packages as fast as they could get their hands on them, with total disregard for quality. Their only criteria was price. Then came Vern’s place in line, sorting packages clean to the bottom of the bin — a pile here and a pile there, until his shopping cart was full of meat that looked different from the rest. The line was getting longer and people were inquisitive as to what he was doing. They began to ask, “Why the different piles of meat?” “Because there is a big difference in the quality, amounting to a huge amount of difference in value,” was his response. Before he was finished he was conducting a seminar right there in the middle of the store, about how to select meat cuts. The folks were in awe of his knowledge, and even more impressed to find out about the
value differences between packages of the same identification. For those people, a ribeye is no longer just a ribeye. It comes in grades, from standard to prime, and further differentiated with varying degrees of marbling amounting to as much as $5.00/lb. difference. And the big difference isn’t in your pocketbook– it’s in the flavor, or satiety value. Can you imagine this guy of sizable statue, almost head first, with feet in the air, scrutinizing a package of steak? As humorous as it must have looked it brought a ‘new’ sense of common sense to a group of people that had no idea there was a difference in meat–other than some came from “happy” cattle. Mr. Williams has been an avid student of meat selection ever since learning the skills of value oriented meat purchases. To his credit, he maintains a freezer full of top quality meat cuts in his home at all times, at probably half the cost of the average guys freezer, thus his reputation as the guru of meat chefs. His knowledge of meat and ability to grill has led to many happy outdoor grilling experiences. He is in huge demand for that special occasion, where you want to be the host with the most, serving only the happiest of beef to the happiest of guests.

Reduce Trampling By Up To 90%
CROP DIVIDERS
Save $6 - $15 per acre, Cropsavers® reduce trampling by 80 to 90 percent when spraying. Cropsavers pay for themselves in the first 1,000 acres of use. Save flagleaf damage when spraying fungicides or herbicides. Less volunteer grain the following year in sprayer tracks. Easier swathing, combining and tillage when grain is not trampled.
SIMPLY THE BEST

The Standard for Comfort and Speed
From 1 to 100 acres, SCAG has the mower to suit any need and get the job done fast. With their commitment to quality, and an unmatched cut, it is easy to see why SCAG is “Simply The Best” and the Pro’s choice for 30 years.

Phoenix Reel Drive System The Phoenix Reel: • cleans the feather sheet • promotes smooth, even feeding • eliminates wadding and bunching • reduces cutter bar losses • producers notice longer operating hours with less operator fatigue • has the ability to run a larger header on a smaller combine • provides a cleaner grain sample
The Phoenix Reel is a new type of drive system that completely changes the way a grain head feeds crops into the combine. It is perfect for edible beans, as well as soybeans, because the Phoenix Reel acts as a cradle to lift the plants and pods and carry them across the cutter bar – reducing waste.

WOULD YOU LIKE TO HAVE LESS EQUIPMENT TO MAINTAIN? SAVE INPUT COST OF SEED?
Move Grain and Seed the Easy Way
We are the manufacturers of American made, high quality, pneumatic grain handling systems, portable pneumatic seed blowers/vacs, and aspirator fans. We stock all accessories, including pipe, couplings, cyclones, brackets, repair parts for many different air systems and general farm equipment.
BACKING PLATE ALLOWS YOU TO PLANT MULTIPLE SEEDS We have found that planting wheat with a KINZE planter in 15" rows gives you, the producer, more control of seed spacing and seed depth than with a drill. Plants will emerge faster and have less competition between sunlight and moisture. By planting in 15" rows approximately 3/4 of the seeds per acre are needed to produce comparable yield as a drill giving you, the producer, more profit per acre at harvest.
With our knowledge and experience in grain handling, you can trust Bruning.
Yes, weeds and disease are concern in wheat, but with 15" spacer between rows less damage is done during chemical and fertilizer application. Less disease pressure occurs by allowing more air to flow between rows making mildew less of a factor.
The BRUNeumatic name was the first, and still is, the best in grain moving.
Disks are available through local KINZE Dealers Plates may also be purchased direct. ®

Slow moving agricultural equipment is always a significant road hazard and especially when light conditions are not optimum. With the Lite-It Agricultural Wireless Tow Lights, this hazard can be reduced on all farm implements. Our farm light bar uses the most recent technology to provide maximum site distance plus it is constructed from virtually indestructible polyethylene casings. These two independent light bars can be attached to any steel surface using 120# pull magnets. Each bar has full stop, turn signal, taillight and side marker functions plus 2 ½" strobes on the front to warn oncoming traffic. Each set is FCC approved. They are individually serialized at the point of manufacture to prevent crosstalk between other units. The taillights only come on when they are needed thus saving battery life.
Agricultural Wireless Tow Lights Item No. LIW-AG-Kit • All lights are LED • 7-blade connection • 2 1/2" amber strobes • Red side markers • Run times for 10 to 30 hours • Charger indicator light • All lights are hard wired in with shrink connectors
Each set comes with a seven pin flat blade style wireless transmitter and a 12v cigarette lighter charger. Both a four pin round and a six pin round are available upon request. Units come in either black or green.
• Battery charging cable included • Individually serialized to reduce the possibility of cross talk • FCC approved • 1000 foot line of visibility • Life time warranty on electronics • 3 year warranty on case • 10 year warranty on lights

START WITH STARTER Boost Yields With PureGrade
Get more years out of your TMR mixer...
PureGrade® Liquid Starter Fertilizer from Nutra-Flo allows seedlings to emerge faster and healthier in order to reach maximum production.
No need to replace your entire mixer when you can resurface the inside liner.
Self-feeding wagons...
Finish with Top Yields
Re-surfacing of your feeder wagon offers superior gravity flow of feed. Cows clean up their feed better, the rounded corners reduce/eliminate rancid feed build up.
Research has shown liquid starter gives young seedlings a faster and healthier start leading to increased yields. Starter provides nutrients when others may be unavailable.
Re-surface your gravity flow box wagons...

BORDER PLAINS EQUIPMENT, LLC We know. It sounds too good to be true. But with Magnum™ tractors, equipped with SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) technology, there’s research to back it up. In recent independent tests*, the new Magnum 340 tractor with SCR technology outperformed the Deere 8335R in fuel efficiency across the entire power band. Plus, Magnum recorded up to 8% more drawbar horsepower than the competition. To learn more, visit your Case IH dealer or caseih.com/beready to see how Case IH tractors with SCR technology can help prepare you for the future.

How Do I Get My Parents to Give Me Some Credit for What I’ve Done for the Family Farm? Dear Michael: We have been farming with my parents for many years now. Even though we’ve bought some land and some machinery, my parents still own most of the land. When we came back to the farm operation, my Dad was using old machinery, was using outdated farming techniques, and still owed quite a bit of money on the place. I came back and helped him update, slowly but surely, and now we have equipment that’s increased yields which, in turn, has paid off all of his debts. My problem is I helped Dad and Mom do all of this – including taking little to nothing in wages for many years while my wife worked off the farm. Now it sees I’m going to have to buy out shares from my siblings when they die – at a reduced rate of Fair Market Value – but with today’s Fair Market Value, they can discount it by fifty percent and I still won’t be able to afford it? How do I get Dad and Mom to give me some credit for what I’ve done for the family farm? Signed... Credit Due
Albeit nicer for you to have a great farm operation with better buildings, better machinery and more value in the land, long term your contribution to the family farm is working against you. Especially if your siblings are now going to share in this new farm wealth created in Dad and Mom’s estate. To be fair with Dad and Mom, however, this growth in the past decade has been meteoric, to say the least. It’s put Dad and Mom into a ‘let’s wait and see’ mode. Everyone’s in a holding pattern right now as they wait to see what the value of land and other farm assets are finally going to be when they die so then they can make their estate plan. Many people have seen their land values go up two, three or even four hundred percent in the past decade. A reason Dad and Mom might be holding off on plan, which includes you, is they are waiting to see what land values are going to be. They’re from a generation who believes ‘what goes up must come down’ and, secretly, they believe land will drop off in value – and it might. Whether or not there will be a drop in land value or not is financially inconsequential to the estate planning process, however. If land values drop, it’s due to the farm economy finally taking the dreaded drop off in incomes that’s been predicted for years. Should this happen, if their plan was to wait until land drops off in value, economically you’re going to have less income to buy the assets from your siblings than you did before – so your problem is not resolved at all by a drop off in farmland value. The second issue which might be stopping your parents from recognizing what you’ve brought to the family farm operation is they really don’t know how to quantify – in dollars and cents – what your contribution has been.
Dear Credit Due: In your particular situation, it’s likely the family farm wouldn’t exist any longer if you hadn’t come back to work with Dad and Mom through the lean times. What’s bad is that Dad and Mom haven’t changed their estate plan to reflect the amount of help and expertise you brought to the family farm. As little as ten years ago, there were only two major factors in building a family farm – labor and money. In the past decade, we’ve seen a new factor emerge – technology. Without you bringing technology and new farming practices the family farm, the farm wouldn’t be there today. Dad and Mom grew up in a generation where you never had too much, but if you worked hard enough and managed your money right, you could eke out a living. When you came back with new ideas, it created new income. This new income was plowed back into the farm operation.
That’s why we put a new tool on our website – Equalization – that you can factor in the number of years you’ve been working there, what value you’ve brought to the family farm operation based on what your parents had before you started farming, what they’ve added since you came back, and what percentage you shouldn’t have to buy back from the siblings who didn’t contribute to the growth and profitability of the family farm. It’ll certainly give you something to talk about with your parents and part of the form also shows whether or not you can even feasibly take over the family farm upon their death. Once they see the real numbers, it’s hard to argue with the fact if they do nothing, the farm will die with them. ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Do you have questions about estate planning?

What Would Happen if Congress Adopted the ‘Spending Rule of Three’? There are days I must admit that I am just old-fashioned, so here goes my admission: I still do my financial records on paper. One little book for income, the same size book for expenses – it just fills up faster. As I am writing in the column titles necessary for keeping track of this year’s expenditures, the Spending Rule of Three comes to mind:
U.S. Patent No. 5158040
How necessary is this? Do I need it now? Is it a one time expenditure or a continual expense? Asking those questions and answering honestly would probably result in less bookwork for me, and no doubt, I would be just as satisfied with life. If true for me, then these are questions that I would expect a school board, county supervisors and every governmental official to ask on any item that is in the budget. I wonder what would happen if congress would sincerely debate any bill presented to them on those terms. It would have to be done with a statesman mentality – what is best for the country. Think Constitution.
SCHWEISSDOORS•com
It’s has been a long time since that the Spending Rule of Three question has been asked by anyone. Lobbyists, with their pockets full of bribes and endless money do a pretty good job of spending your money and mine on appropriations, grants and subsidies that quickly fill the expense book. Much as I find railroad history fascinating, it is disturbing how the railroads courted governmental officials. There are plenty of scandals in our history books to study, even a bill that guaranteed the railroads a six percent profit over “honest” expenses. No questions asked, even if supplies came from crony business partners. Some say the railroads got what was coming to them when America’s love with the automobile and the creation of the interstate road system changed the transportation industry. Subsidies and tax breaks have become imbedded into our thinking. Subtly, they

take away our independence; in order to get the money we have to make concessions. Eventually, that money is considered a source of continual income. Proof of that comes when we realize after a century of tax breaks and subsidies, the petroleum industry and many other entities still receive them. It appears that it’s awfully hard to be weaned from this ‘free’ money. Absurdly as it sounds, the sweet deals they ‘tweak’ out aren’t totally free – money spent for lobbyists salaries and payoffs tend to equal the money received. Things seem to be a bit upside down when companies have as many lawyers on staff as those who are the productive employees actually working. Agriculture has become part of the mix. We want the subsidies for our products, yet demand they end for competitive businesses. We may start to think we deserve it, we work hard or others have more than us, and the government ought to equalize things. If that were so, really tall people might have a legitimate claim. It’s not fair they have to pay extra for clothing. They could demand laws against clothing manufacturers for charging more. Perhaps even a tax rebate. Most any campaigning politician will tell you what they think you want to hear: “Of course! You deserve it,” promising that once elected he/she will make your wishes their first priority. Those same exact words will be repeated at the next political stop for a different cause. Farmers or anyone else, and that means everybody, are not entitled to any more consideration than anybody else. On the other hand, they are not entitled to less. Simply put, we should not ask Congress for anything we wouldn’t want to see given to anyone else. Renae B.

Spring Cleaning – to Clean or Not to Clean Spring cleaning is not my favorite activity. In fact, I don’t like to clean during spring or any other time of the year. The best way to simplify cleaning is to stay clutter-free. Lack of clutter creates the appearance of clean. Lack of clutter makes cleaning easier when you finally do get to it. I wish I could make cleaning fun. Some people enjoy it, but I usually don’t. There are too many other things competing for our energy and attention. My formula for spring cleaning success consists of four ingredients–motivation, proper cleaning products, professional cleaning techniques, and a helpful home–good cleaning tips for any season. When these ingredients are present, the rest is simple. Motivation. Having company over once in a while forces me to tackle cleaning projects I put off. It sounds weird, but sometimes I even pretend company is coming over or I pretend I am having an open house. The side benefit of getting these postponed jobs done is how great I feel afterwards. The sad thought is, why do I need company to be motivated to clean? Couldn’t I be happy to clean for us? For my family and myself? That ought to be sufficient motivation. Proper cleaning products. Check out products around the house that you have kept for years. There may be products you tried but didn’t work for you, or products that just didn’t become part of your cleaning routine. Even though you “paid good money for them,” you are not using them. Rather than letting them continue to age and fill up storage space in your home, toss them by taking them to a recycling center if possible. Instead of feeling bad every time you see unused products sitting under your sink, feel bad once as you properly and safely dispose of them. Most cleaning experts agree you only need a few basics for household cleaning–a glass cleaner, a general cleaner, and an anti-bacterial cleaner. Own decent
microfiber cleaning cloths that are large enough to fold and use. Have quality dusters that grab the dust instead of just push it around. Look into electrostatic cloths or wool dusters. Decent cleaning rags won’t leave their own lint behind while you clean.
A self-cleaning home also has low or easy maintenance flooring and window treatments. Consider low height, neutral, dirt-hiding, 100 percent nylon carpet. If the fibers are short, wear and crushing are less evident. Carpet that has flecking, like a cut Berber, hides dirt too. Nylon carpet wears longer than some of the others. Also, fibers with a tight twist won’t loosen as quickly or pill as fast. When comparing carpeting, look at the number of twists per inch.
It is also time to make friends with your vacuum cleaner. Pull the threads off the beater bar regularly and change the bag frequently (before it is overflowing). Know how to replace the belts. Should you dust or vacuum first? See Don Aslett’s book Do I Dust Or Vacuum First?: Answers to the 100 Toughest, Most Frequently Asked Questions about Housecleaning (Marsh Creek Press, 2005). Don Aslett is one of my favorite house cleaning and clutter authors. Remember, gravity works: Dust first, knocking the dirt to the floor and then vacuum it up. If you have an air filter on your furnace, run your furnace fan while you vacuum to catch the dust that vacuuming may stir up.
Window treatments that don’t cover up too much of the window and block light are a favorite of mine. Try no valences or short valences that are easy to dust and easy to slide off and throw in the washing machine. I combine valences with pleated shades or mini blinds. The easy way to wash plastic blinds is to swish them in the bathtub.
Professional cleaning techniques. Why not clean like the pros do? Check out Don Aslett’s book Is There Life After Housework? (Marsh Creek Press, 2nd edition, 2005). He started his career by being a professional cleaner. Work from high to low and in a consistent circle, either direction, when cleaning a room with proper equipment and products. Design a helpful home. Consider working toward a self-cleaning house (you can read about Don Aslett’s in one of his books). Anyone can work toward this. A self-cleaning house begins with this basic rule: “Shoes off at the door. No exceptions.” Experts agree that ninety percent or more of the dirt in our homes comes right in the door. If you stop it at the door, you have won more than half of the battle. Another part of a self-cleaning house is commercial grade indoor and outdoor entry mats. If not a commercial grade indoor mat, at least make sure it is washable when it becomes saturated with dirt and grime.

A final element of a helping home is furnishings--sturdy fabrics, neutral dirt-hiding colors, and patterns and designs that hide minor stains or spots. When I put a solid hunter green tablecloth on my dining room table, every speck of lint, dust, and dog hair in my house seems to land on it. When I put a lighter multi-colored floral tablecloth there, it usually looks clean for weeks. Cleaning is easier if I regularly pick up and perform minimal weekly cleaning. I vacuum my carpet without moving furniture, dust lightly, and swipe sinks and toilets every few days. I also try to make it a habit to quickly straighten a room every time I leave it. When I keep to a schedule (think of it as a less frequent habit) for tougher jobs, I am happier. Tasks may not get done as often as they “should” be, but at least they get done. Frankly, I have found less frequent cleaning won’t hurt most things--less frequently changing bedding or towels, or deep cleaning the bathroom, or edging with the vacuum cleaner...No one has noticed a difference, and I have freed up some of my time. Now you can free up your time too!

FINE ART of MONEY MANAGEMENT
Have YOU Saved Enough? It’s mid-February as I write this, and for us farm and ranch folks, it’s also the time to pay the tax man. Our city friends have another six weeks or so to get everything prepared and dropped off to their tax preparer for last year’s ‘final tally’. Some of our friends and neighbors won’t have a lot to ‘tally up’ due to the Atlas blizzard that took so many critters to the great beyond. (On occasion, I still see dead cattle along some of the roads I travel.) But, ranchers are a tough lot and for the most part they will make it through with the help of a lot of friends and the many strangers who stepped up to the plate, donating replacement cattle or money through the Rancher’s Relief Fund (www.ranchersrelief.org) and others of the same type. It’s also the time of year when the folks who are ‘in the know’ talk about IRAs and 401Ks. I truly wish some of this was taught to the young folks in school–the savings part at least. I remember years ago I was told if I started investing $1,000 a year at the age of 25, I could end up with a ‘nest egg’ of $213,000 or more by the time I turned 65. Of course, interest and investment return rates fluctuate with the times, but at that time, we had no money – period! However, times have changed and many folks have, as my grandfather would have put it, “moved on up in the world”. Most drive new cars (granted, they have payments), a good share of them have higher education–high school for sure, and many more have technical schooling or college of some kind. They have cell phones, computers and all sorts of things our parents and grandparents couldn’t possibly ever dreamed of. Of course, all of this ‘stuff’ costs money, and lots of it. My question then is this: Do you have ANY savings? If so, have you saved enough? Do you have that ‘kitty’ in the cupboard to fall back on if times really get tough? When I ask people, most of them tell me they have no savings whatsoever–they live from check to check, borrow from family and friends when needed and ‘just get along’. Some people save all of their change–they might put it in a fruit jar, bucket or other container and when it’s full take it to the bank and put those dollars in a savings account. When I worked at a grocery store years ago, some of the kids would come in with a $5 or $10 bill and buy some candy. Many times they’d pick up the
The Secret Magic of My Home-Prepared Mulch (and Other Great Tips for the Home)
bills, but throw the change in the wastebasket! When I asked one of the children why they were tossing it, I was told, “It’s NOT real money!” I really don’t know how many people could come up with $500, much less $1,000 or more all at once– but, just suppose your family began to practice some ‘small’ economic changes in order to start some sort of a savings/backup plan that would be available in case of an emergency. Can the family use coupons for groceries and save $100 or more a year? (I’m not talking about the extreme coupon folks that have a warehouse full of cereal and laundry soap in the back bedroom). I’m talking about just using coupons for things you normally would purchase and setting aside that $5 a week or so into savings. That $5 a week turns into $260 in a year’s time! Making meals at home in a slow cooker instead of eating out can save quite a bit over a year’s time. If you normally spend $30 a week on meals eaten away from home (and for some folks, it’s way more than that each week), you can save over $1,000 a year even factoring in the cost of the food you would need to purchase. Instead of hitting the malls on weekends shopping for new clothing, why not check out the local thrift stores? I’ve found brand new clothing (complete with tags) at thrift stores, and shoes still in the boxes that have never been worn. (I check the soles – some have never touched the floor!) Make it a point to check out the yard sales. Most cities have a list of sales, dates and times and a partial list of what is being offered. If nothing interests you, go to the next listing. Years ago, my kids wanted to learn how to make pasta. I’d been making homemade noodles, but one small son wanted ‘p’sketti’. We found a pasta maker at a yard sale for $1, and used it for years. (I found a sticker on the box. It cost $59.95 plus tax over 35 years ago!) It’s still sitting on the top shelf in the pantry and will be used again someday. There are small children in the neighborhood here and it’s a great way to engage them in making their own food. Tax time brings out the frugal in most of us. If you have ideas to share, please send them to me and I’ll publish as many as I can.
There are many mulches to choose from and all will work for various purposes. I have chickens that live in a big barn with lots of straw. They don’t get outside unless I happen to be spending the day in the barn preparing for the next load of fresh straw. (We have coyote and skunk-type critters that adore a fresh chicken snack, and I don’t want to share with them!) By the time spring comes around, my flock of 50 (or so) chickens have literally chopped up at least 2 or 3 big round straw bales you see in the grain fields in the fall of the year. I end up with several huge tractor scoop loads of the stuff, and it all goes in my garden. It has a dual purpose as a fertilizer and a deep mulch that keeps the moisture in and cuts down on the amount of weeding I need to do. I also use old black and white newspapers as a weed barrier in the garden. I till the garden and plant the early crops the first part of May, but don’t set out the tender plants until almost June since we are prone to late frosts here. The row plants (beans, etc.) are marked with strings that I leave in place for several weeks while I put newspapers in the walking path. I then put lots of straw mulch over the top of the papers and wet it down thoroughly, until the straw sort of ‘locks’ into place. (One year I just layered paper, and we got one of our South Dakota ‘mega-breezes’. The papers decorated the shelterbelt for weeks, until I got them all picked back up again.) As I said last month, the tender greenhouse plants are wrapped in paper, set in a deep hole, sometimes with a gallon jug beside it for future watering. I put the newspapers around the plants and then pile on the mulch and soak everything thoroughly. As the plants grow over the summer, I add more of the straw mulch and by harvest time, the garden is completely covered with several inches of the spongy mulch. The advantage to doing this is that I buy NO commercial fertilizer, have very few weeds to deal with, and I don’t have to have the water running constantly in the garden. We have our own well, but the pump uses electricity and after all, nothing is free. When I water, I do it at night. We have a rather sizable group of resident deer that like to snack on the garden during the night hours. We have found that by driving long sections of pipe– 6 feet long–spaced down the center of the garden, stringing hoses and putting those whirling sprinklers set for 360 degrees in the tops of the pipes and watering at night, the deer stay out. I guess they don’t enjoy getting splashed in the face or on the rump with ice cold water in the middle of the night. At any rate, they leave the garden alone! [continues on page A23]

Fruit Flies GONE!
Herman, MN 56248 • 320-677-2255 • Fax 320-677-2257
Spring is on the way and that always means the fruit flies will show up when we start to bring in the first of the fresh fruits of the season. There is a very simple way to keep those critters under control without chemicals. Simply put a little bit of water in the bottom of a pint jar, add about ½ cup of vinegar and a couple of drops of dish soap. Stir up the mixture and set it on the counter. (I have used sweet pickle juice mixed with the water and the dish soap and it works too. The sugar seems to draw the flies to it). The fruit flies will be attracted to the mixture and fall in. They can’t escape because of the soap. I will mix this up and leave it on the counter for a day or so and when the flies look like pepper on top, I dump it out and refill the jar again and again! It works great, is cheap and if a child would happen to drink the stuff, it won’t hurt them. –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

PLANTER/TILLAGE
If you are lucky enough to live where spring has already sprung and have squirrels chomping on your precious outdoor plants, give this a try: Buy some cayenne pepper (powdered form) at the grocery store and pepper the plants well. The critters do not like the cayenne, and will leave those plants alone. Of course, it has to be reapplied occasionally, or after a rain, but it’s chemical free so it won’t hurt the dog or the kids!

If you drop something small on a carpet, like the screw out of your glasses, and can’t find the darn thing, put a piece of nylon stocking or other very thin fabric over the end of your vacuum cleaner hose and start vacuuming.

Pancake Roll-Ups
Use up those leftover breakfast pancakes as a snack for the kids. Put a little peanut butter and jelly on the cold cake and roll it up; it can be eaten out of hand easily and nothing is wasted. My children will often take their peanut butter roll ups in a napkin and eat it on the way to school instead of eating sugary breakfast cereal.

Banana Saver
A reader says: “If you buy bananas on sale like I do and have some go bad before you can get them all eaten, take the bananas apart at the stem end and line them up separately.

No More Soggy Pizza Crusts!
If you want to heat up some left-over pizza in a hurry, toss it into a skillet on top of the stove. Set it to medium-low heat until nice and warm.

A Not So ‘Corny’ Idea...
For some of you, fresh corn is not too far off to start thinking about. A reader sent in the hint to use a bundt pan or an angel food cake pan to help you cut the corn off of the cob easily. Just put the end of the ear in the opening at the center of your pan and slice the kernels off of the ear with a sharp knife. They fall into the pan instead of all over the counter and the floor, and the ear won’t slip out of your hand. And you won’t have a mess to clean up! ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– As always, if you have tips or ideas to share, send them to me at PennyWise, Box 518, Kadoka, SD 57543 or email me at pennywise@gwtc.net.

Pathways Through Agriculture by Kayla Degner
A Cattle Show Supporting the Ronald McDonald Houses Some of you may remember me writing about “Albert the Steer” a couple months ago. I had mentioned he earned a spot showing at the Iowa State Fair with the Governor’s Charity Steer Show. Let me tell you a little about our experience. The Governor’s Charity Steer Show is an event at the Iowa State Fair. It raises money for the Ronald McDonald Houses of Iowa and is correlated with the Governor at the time. Governor Terry Branstad originally started it in 1983. Usually, there are about 20-25 steers that are shown. I had a very good summer with Albert, winning two county fairs. This allowed me to be selected for the Governor’s Charity Steer Show. I then had to find a “celebrity” from Iowa to show my steer at the fair. After some thinking, my family and I decided to ask Speed Herrig of Cookies BBQ Sauce out of Wall Lake, IA, which is near my hometown. We also had to find sponsors, who sponsored my calf and I at the event. The Governor’s Charity Steer Show takes place during the state fair. The steers are put out on display for the first two days and then your celebrity shows them. The celebrity leads the calf and the owner follows while in the ring. There are 4 awards: Grand Champion and Reserve Champion Steer, Showmanship Award and People’s Choice. After the steer show is over an auction is held. Someone purchases each calf and the money each steer is bought for A24

is donated to the Ronald McDonald Houses of Iowa. This money helps families who have children that are ill in hospitals. Des Moines, Iowa City and Sioux City each have a house. The Ronald McDonald Houses provide families with a “home away from home”. These houses can be found in 58 countries across the world. More information about houses can be found at www.rmhc.org. The 2013 Governor’s Charity Steer Show raised $185,338 dollars for the Ronald McDonald Houses of Iowa. I participated in this in 2009 with Speed Herrig, as I wrote about previously. In 2010, Kristie VerMulm, a news anchor from Sioux City showed my calf. Both experiences were amazing. It is remarkable to see so many people come together to raise money for a good cause. It was also meaningful to be able to spend time together with my family taking part in this event.
Pictured, left to right: “the buyer”, Dennis Degner, Julie Degner, Wes Degner, Speed Herrig, Kayla Degner with Albert. Kayla Degner was born and raised in rural Lytton, IA on a diversified grain and livestock family farm. She graduated from Rockwell City-Lytton in May 2012 and currently attends Iowa State University studying Agricultural Communications. Her past involved many agriculture venues. Kayla has a strong interest in advocating to the youth involved in agriculture. Contact her at kadegner@iastate.edu.
A tough part about this opportunity was saying goodbye to my “best steer friend” because someone else had purchased them. I had literally spent every day of my summer washing, feeding and caring for Albert and Bubba. I understand that this is a part of being a farm kid, cattle come and go from our farm all of the time. However, with my show cattle I definitely formed a special bond that I will treasure for years and years to come. When it came to say goodbye, there was not a dry eye in sight, especially from me. It is amazing how one calf, in one year, can make such an impact on a family’s life.

In the Barn with EQUIPMENT & LIVESTOCK PRODUCTION SERVICES
By Kelly and Leah Daniels Kelly and Leah live on an acreage in north central Iowa and work with farmers and clients across the country.
We’ve had the pleasure of working with farmers – mostly livestock producers – for many years and we recently began to notice something interesting: Farmers like to ask a lot of questions. They want to know about which things are best for their opera-
Keep Your Plates Spinning With Hedgewood’s Five Key Elements Of Livestock Production Remember the guy on the old variety shows who had a bunch of plates spinning on long, thin sticks? You know, the one that with the fast, bouncy theme song that will now be playing in your head for the next few hours? (Sorry ‘bout that.) If you don’t remember it, your parents will. For the plates to keep going, the guy had to watch everything all at once and, if one plate began to slow down, he would run over and give the stick just a little tweak to get it back up to speed. But if one plate started to wobble, it would come tumbling down and wipe out the whole bunch. For the plates to keep going, the guy had to watch everything all at once and, if one plate began to slow down, he would run
over and give the stick just a little tweak to get it back up to speed. But if one plate started to wobble, it would come tumbling down and wipe out the whole bunch. Livestock production is a lot like that guy with the spinning plates: As a farmer, you have a whole lot of things that have to keep moving and, if you don’t catch a problem in one area, it can pretty quickly get big enough to take out the whole thing. To help our customers “keep their plates spinning,” we use Hedgewood’s Five Key Elements of Livestock Production, a visual tool that enables producers to categorize the essential areas of production; keep an eye on how each is functioning; and, should something begin to wobble, make the necessary adjustments to keep everything working in harmony.
tion, what’s new out there, how different brands compare, how they can save money on input costs, and so on. And they appreciate
having
someone
knowledgeable and down-toearth to talk over options with. That’s why we formed Hedgewood as an independent company, so we can help customers learn about all their equipment choices and choose the gates, feeders and other products that will make their job easier and maybe even save money through efficiencies. At Hedgewood, our recommendations are based on having actually used many different types of equipment in production situations, rather than on how much profit we can make from one brand or another. If it’s right for the farmer, it’s right for Hedgewood. The work that U.S. farmers do helps people around the world live healthier and safer lives than ever before. We feel blessed to be able to work in agriculture every day and to be able to use our skills in keeping agriculture strong. – Kelly and Leah

Hedgewood’s Five Key Elements of Livestock Production Nutrition – Always feed the best ration for your production type and choose formulations based on sound science. What may look like a great deal on some cheap feed could end up costing you in performance and, in some cases, even impact the health status of your animals. Keep feedstuffs as clean and dry as possible, and protect feed storage areas from disease-carrying rodents and insects. Environment – To grow and thrive, every species of livestock needs the right environment, no matter which type of production you choose. Outside animals are exposed to extremes in weather, predators, parasites; soil-borne diseases, even dangers from vehicles. Animals under shelter require adequate ventilation to replace stale air with fresh; feed delivery systems that can meet nutritional needs; manure-handling and storage processes; and, depending upon the species, slatted floors or regularly refreshed bedding to prevent excesses of moisture and ammonia. Health – A good relationship with your veterinarian will help you determine which animal health tools and procedures you should rely upon. Develop a good understanding of not only the types of diseases that could harm your livestock, but also of the ways those diseases can get to your farm. A virus doesn’t care whether it rides in with a replacement heifer or sticks to the sole of the boots you were wearing when you stopped by the www.farmandlivestockdirectory.com |
operation hinges on good management. Whether you are an owner/manager or you employ a professional to oversee your operation, an effective manager understands the interaction of all the key elements and, if a problem arises, can adjust one area to make up for deficiencies in another. Management is also the one area that can take down all the rest. A good manager can see all the moving parts, can recognize something that’s beginning to wobble and knows when to tweak those twirling sticks to keep all the plates spinning. neighbor’s farm; that little bugger is just looking for a fresh host so it can snuggle in and replicate its little heart out. Make biosecurity a priority.
Genetics – Just as some dogs aren’t the right type to live in high-rise apartments, some farm animals are not the right type for every operation. Genetic selection is an important – but sometimes overlooked – element, playing an essential role in the ongoing success of your operation. With today’s technological advances, genetic selection may represent your best opportunity for herd improvement. Partner with genetic suppliers who can help you identify the best trait package for your production style and who have the expertise to develop custom breeding programs that can move your herd in the right direction, without sacrificing other desirable traits.
Management – Here’s where the rubber hits the road: The success of any livestock

Give Kelly a call or text at 515-851-9194 or shoot us an email at kelly@hedgewoodequipment. com. And, finally, we feel a little badly about getting that plate-spinning theme song stuck in your head, so here’s a little help to get it off your mind: “I’m Henery-the-Eighth, I am; “Henery-the-Eighth, I am, I am. “I got married to the widow next door; “She’d been married seven times before…” (And if you don’t remember this one, ask you parents. It’s the same one you start to hear in your mind when you’ve been riding a tractor – or a Harley – for too long.)
