Adams County

2020 budget FRANK TURNER

acrnews@countrymedia.net

n September 20, the Adams County Commission voted to confirm the 2020 county budget. The total amount levied in 2020 county budget remained relatively consistent, dropping roughly three percent from the previous year. Although the total budget remained consistent, there were notable changes in the distribution of funds compared to 2019’s county budget. Compared to last year, the 2020 general fund increased by roughly twelve percent. Adams County Chairman Dustin Laufer explained that the increase in the general budget was likely due to an increase in labor costs and healthcare. “All county employees got a three percent increase,” said Laufer. “We did a special five percent increase for the sheriff’s deputies because after doing some research, we were a little low compared to other neighboring counties.” Laufer continued, “One of the biggest expenses is our health insurance. It was scheduled to go up twenty-six percent. Instead, we changed the policy to a high deductable policy and saved taxpayers money. After switching to the high deductable plan, it only increased seventeen percent. We really wanted to keep the same policy and consistency for our employees, but with financial constraint and budget in mind, we had to change policies…” BUDGET » PAGE 3

ast week Wednesday, the local Runnings store hosted their annual Ladies Night. The ladies themed event raised money for the nonprofit Communities Kicking Cancer, an area organization that provides homemade comfort blankets and $100 gas cards to people in the surrounding area that

have to travel for cancer treatments. According to Communities Kicking Cancer volunteer Arlene Walch, the nonprofit group has already donated over $13,600 in gas cards to south central and southwestern North Dakota and northwestern and north central South Dakota. “A lot of people in this area have to travel all the way to Bismarck or even

Fargo for cancer treatments,” said Walch. “The gas card can really help people absorb some of those travel costs and the blanket lets them know they are not fighting alone.” Runnings Store Manager Collin Blade said that every year, Runnings locations across the nation host a day specifically for nonprofit charities. Ultimately, it’s up to the local store to

decide which nonprofit charity to support. “We approached Arlene because we wanted to benefit a local group and had heard about Communities Kicking Cancer,” said Blade. “It’s a great group with a great mission, so we were happy to support their cause this year.” Customers, both men and women, were encouraged to stop down at the store to buy a

two-dollar, pink Ladies Night bucket and browse free samples. To attract more people, Runnings offered a storewide deal for anyone who bought a bucket. At the end of the night, Runnings donated one dollar to Communities Kicking Cancer organization for every bucket sold. “For anything that could fit in the bucket, RUNNINGS » PAGE 3

Connection Church comes to Hettinger FRANK TURNER

acrnews@countrymedia.net

ince early May, a new Christian church, Connection Church, has been slowly growing in Hettinger. The new congregation has been meeting downtown every Sunday morning in the old coffee shop building on the end of Main Street. This new church is unique, however, in that the pastor is not based locally in Hettinger. In fact, the local Connection Church pastor, Pastor Stephen [Last Name] rarely sees the local congregation in person. Instead, sermons are prerecorded in Belle Fourche by Pastor Carson and later shown in Hettinger church a week later. Only once a month does Pastor Carson travel to Hettinger to do a live Sunday evening sermon in person for the local church. “We record our sermons

live in Belle Fourche and then send them to Hettinger where they are played the following week,” said Pastor Carson. “It’s a way for our church to spread the word to new audiences and locations.” Connection Church is a mission-focused church, keen on outreach to new communities. According to Pastor Carson, the church accomplishes their outreach goals by expanding or “planting” Connection Churches in new areas. The Hettinger church is Belle Fourche’s second “plant” church. Currently, the Belle Fourche church records their sermons for Hettinger and Rapid City, however moving forward, the church hopes to have a new “plant” set up in Bismarck soon. “We are a church very much focused on reaching out to new areas,” said PasCHURCH » PAGE 3

we offered twenty percent off apparel items and ten percent off everything else,” said Blade. Other area businesses and individuals also contributed to event through their own various donations. T&B Brickfire donated pizzas to the event while the Pastime, the Peacock Mercantile, Color Street Nails – Tina Hill, Modern Expressions in Lemmon, Natalie Eggebo and Jeri Dunn donated to the event one way or another. Overall, both Walch and Blade said that the event was a great success. By the end of the night, Runnings had sold 158 buckets and raised $428 in free-will donation for a total of $586 raised for the charity. “I thought it went very, very well,” said Walch. “We had a really great turnout and we were really pleased to have the amount of participation that we did.”

Other notable changes from the previous year’s budget included a 41.7 percent drop in the Farm to Market budget, a 38.6 percent increase in the Veterans Service budget, a 53.1 percent drop in the Extension Budget, a 768.4 percent increase in the Weed Control budget, and a 37.2 decrease in the Water Resource District budget. All budgets changes are rounded to the nearest tenth. Laufer explained that the large increase in the Weed Control Budget was a result of producers using more chemicals and sprays to control noxious weeds and an under budgeting of the Weed Control budget from the previous year. “We reimburse producers for controlling noxious weeds, so the fact that [the weed budget] went up is probably a good thing,” he said. “What we saw with last years budget is that the amount of spraying and chemicals used went up considerably, so we did

increase the budget to match the trend.” Laufer attributed other large swings in the budget to large infrastructure projects and changes in employment. Projects like the courthouse parking lot renovation, which is slated to be completed and opened by Monday, and the Overhead Road north of Lemmon, South Dakota can significantly change the budget year to year. “Our big project for 2019 was our ADA courthouse parking lot,” said Laufer. “That was a necessity to keep the courthouse up to ADA standards. Starting in 2020, we will start work on the Overhead Road and that will be our next upcoming big project.” Overall, Laufer said the commission “tightened up the budget where they could.” Laufer said that it was important to the commission to lower costs for taxpayers wherever possible. “The main goal of everybody is to have a successfully functioning County for the year while keeping the taxes from a major increase, if we can help it,” he said.

tor Carson. “We had a goal to establish a new plant in North Dakota by 2020, and luckily one family in Hettinger heard our goal and reached out to us.” After weeks of communication with a local family, Connection Church decided that Hettinger would be a good location for a new “plant.” What started as small informal gatherings slowly grew into more formal sermons and worship. Although the church is new to town, Pastor Carson said the church’s has no intentions to “steal” parishioners or compete with other churches in town. Instead, he said the church is determined to find people who “love god and Jesus.” “Our church is very outreach-focused group that has an active presence in the community,” he said. “We have no intention of competing with other churches. Our main goal is to find people who desire to honor God and Jesus.” So far, the church

LOCAL 2019 Partners In Health Club Provides Over $43,000 for Needed Equipment TED UECKER

WRHS Foundation

ow! The area community rises to the occasion once again! Although last February we asked our Partners In Health Club members to consider placing their customary Partners In Health Club annual gift toward our new Physician Recruitment Endowment Fund for Giving Hearts Day (which 73% of them did, bless their hearts), they and others also gifted another $43,000 for other needed equipment throughout West River Health Services and Western Horizons Living Centers. So our Partners In Health Club supported fourteen separate projects from $650 up to $8,800 each, with a grand total of $43,223 being distributed for needed equipment at WRHS and WHLC. The Hettinger Clinic received a total of $14,484 for a new Bladder Scanner, updated Exam Room Chairs, and a new Wheelchair Scale. Our Med Surg Department received $7,070 for ten new Over-Bed Tables and a new Geri-Chair. The Surgery Department will purchase a new $4,800 Endoscope Cabinet with Hepa Filter for their Surgery Sterilizer Unit. Our Laboratory team received $2,800 for a Microbiology Incubator; our EMS unit received $2,220 for an Airway Management Trainer. Plus, $2,200 was gifted for our Outpatient Surgery team’s new Blood Pressure Monitoring Device. The Pharmacy Department received $1,500 for a Medi-Dose Unit Packaging System, while our Bowman Clinic needed a $1,299 Schwinn Airdyne for patients in Physical Therapy. Our Radiology Department

received $1,100 for a GUS Station for Infection Control and our Stress Laboratory received $750 for CardiokeyHolter Monitors. We have also earmarked $5,000 for upcoming needed equipment at our Western Horizons Care Center. THANK YOU to the 206 Partners In Health Club Members who gifted $100 or more over the last twelve months, so that we can continue to improve our equipment, which in turn helps our patients feel better faster. Over the last 17 years, Partners In Health Club has provided over $543,000 for needed equip-

ment at West River and Western Horizons. We are grateful. All of us – physicians, nurses, ancillary staff, board of director members, and more. If you’d ever like to visit with us about becoming a WRHS Foundation Partners In Health Club member, please contact Ted Uecker at 701-567-3666. He would be more than willing to meet with you most anytime or anyplace to discuss your giving desires. It only takes $100 or more over a twelve month period or less than $9 per month. TOGETHER we are STRONG! Onward!

DEAN MEYER Guest Columnist

Hello,

This is the time of the year that I miss Pat. Pat O’Brien. He passed away several years ago after a lifetime in

the cattle industry. I knew him mostly as an auctioneer. You have to understand that this is the time of the year that most ranchers are marketing their calf crop. It is a time that you have actually been laying plans for, for more than a year. It started when you were selecting replacement heifers a few years ago and buying a battery of bulls that you hoped would improve your herd. And for most of us, it ends when you are sitting in the sale barn watching the years work

Your community's views

go through the ring in a few short minutes. The crowd is made up of consignors, buyers, and interested onlookers. The buyers have eagle eyes. They can spot a calf that is off a little on a hind leg before they even open the door to let them in. They can see a white spot in a calf ’s eye before you can tell if it is a steer or a heifer. And their job is to buy the best calves possible spending the least amount of money they can. So that buyer will quickly point out a calf with a limp, or a little lump, or a

bad eye. Maybe it is a little off color, or has a slight hump in its back. Sometimes I believe it is imaginary, but then, who am I, a guy with bad eyes, bad ears, high blood pressure, and various other problems to judge. When Pat was the auctioneer we would call up the auction barn to get a load number. We often said we didn’t care when they sold, as long as Pat sold them! He was the best. I was thinking about some of his comments to buyers when I was attending the auction last week.

If you had a calf or yearling that had a bad eye, “Are you buying him to feed, or to read the newspaper to you?” If you had a critter that had a little hitch in his gitalong, “Are you buying it to eat, or to race?” If one was cut back because he was a little off color, “I’ll bet you when you take the hide off, you wouldn’t know which one it was!” If a calf had his ears nipped a little buy a late freeze or a spring storm and the calf was cut back, Pat would ask, “Are you buying this calf

to talk to or to feed?” When you see a calf that you warmed up in the pickup cab, or in the bathtub in your house, or you see one that you helped a heifer deliver and then covered its mouth with your hand and blew air into its lungs, it kind of pains you to see that calf bring way less than it cost you to produce it. And there is more to this business than dollars. Pat understood that.

meeting about it and you can listen to it online on October 24 at 9:00 mountain time in the morning. You can listen to it at: http://www.sdlegislature. gov and as high as our property taxes are, this should be really interesting. I’m also looking forward to attending the Stockgrowers lunch on Friday, November 1 to listen to Krayton Kerns DVM speak. Dr. Kerns from Laurel, Montana is a veterinarian and served several years in the Montana legislature. We really enjoy reading his columns in the Western Ag Reporter and want to get a copy of his book “Ramblings of a Conservative Cow Doctor” that he will be signing at the luncheon. Reub and I had planned to go over to the smorgasbord at Rosebud Lutheran Church Sunday evening and attend the Bible study at Lester and Sharon Longwood’s after the supper, but the rain and snow falling all day Sunday and my bad knee changed our minds, so we stayed home by the fire that evening. Ashley Thybo came to visit Lanie before she and Matt and the kids went

back to Dickinson Sunday afternoon. After listening to the presidential debates, I was reminded of these words of wisdom that my late cousin Pat John sent me: *You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity, by legislating the wealth out of prosperity. *What one person receives without working for...another person must work for without receiving. *The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. *You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it. *When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work, because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work, because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that is the beginning of the end of any nation!

BETTY OLSON Guest Columnist

Slim Buttes Ladies Aid had our regular meeting after church last Sunday and decided what to bring to our friend Bill Vroman’s funeral on Friday. Patsy Wilkinson fed us lunch and even fed our husbands who waited for us to get done with the meeting. Monday morning Casey hauled both of Reub’s side-by-sides to Belle Fourche to get fixed and Reub took me to Hettinger for physical therapy that day. Ken Amor called from Abilene, Texas that morning to let me know that all the tests on his health problems

came back really good, thank goodness! Winter is coming soon, so I picked the last of the onions out of the garden this week and have a lot of tomatoes waiting in the basement for me to can themNot sure when my sore knee will let that happen, but we’re eating a lot of really delicious fresh tomatoes. Reub took me back to Hettinger Wednesday afternoon for another session of physical therapy. Jacquelyn Hedstrom was there for therapy too, because she recently had her knee replaced. There seems to be an epidemic of knee replacement surgery around here. Laura Johnson is scheduled to have her knee replaced on Thursday, right after Bill Johnson has his shoulder surgery on Monday. It should be interesting at the Johnson ranch the next couple weeks! Taz and a bunch of his cowboy buddies left for the rodeo in Billings on Wednesday after helping Casey haul hay that day. Rep. Sam Marty and Harold Smolnikar called me to visit about health and politics that afternoon. Lanie brought the kids

down to visit this Thursday and left them with Grandma Missy until Lanie and Matt came back down on Saturday. Cal and Ty Thybo, Ty Hotchkiss, RonE Jenson, Jim Evans, and Casey went up to the Hackamore to help Doug and Clint Doll ship calves Thursday morning. When Casey got home from the Hackamore little Trace went with him to haul hay while Reub bunched bales down the creek. Margaret Vansickel called to check on me that afternoon and we had a really good visit. She’s 92 years old and doing really well. Bill Holt stopped in here early Friday morning on his way down to watch the guys chopping his corn just south of here. Thankfully, they got it all chopped and packed before the nasty weather moved in on Sunday. Most of this community went in to Buffalo Friday afternoon to bid goodbye to our old friend Bill Vroman. Jim and Colleen Oatman even came from Colorado for Bill’s funeral and it was nice to visit with them. They’re working on a big ranch near Kit Carson, Colorado near the Kansas

border. Taz got home from the rodeo in Billings late that night. Matt and Lanie came down from Dickinson on Saturday to spend the weekend here with Casey and Missy. Bill Holt was having some trouble taking pictures of his corn fields with his drone, so he had Matt and Lanie come down and help him out. He sure got a lot of corn off those two fields south of here. I called Sen. Ryan Maher Saturday afternoon to congratulate him for the Legislative Friend Award he’s getting at the SD Stockgrowers convention and trade show on Thursday, October 31 and Friday, November 1 in Rapid City. On that Thursday at 11:00 Lesley Coyle, director of Property Tax in the SD Dept. of Revenue, will be speaking on the current property tax assessment system in South Dakota and will be discussing the pilot study about “Actual and Most Probable Use” that Harold Smolnikar has been telling me about.

His first car was a 1929 Model A. His favorite soda pop was Orange Crush which cost him 5 cents per bottle. Of course, he walked up hill both ways to and from school. In January 1946 Ray enlisted in the US Army and had his basic training at Fort Knox. He received further training in Montana and Washington before ending up at Camp Crook in California where he served as a military prison guard. After his discharge in 1947 he moved to Hazen and worked at Arrow Creameries as a meat cutter. He began his elevator career as a second man at Farmers Elevator in Hazen. In 1956 he became manager at Golden Valley Grain

Co. for a year and a half until moving back to manage Farmers Elevator in Hazen and ended his career at Hettinger Equity Elevator. After retirement he and Ruby moved to Bismarck. August 3, 1952 Raymond married Ruby Swanson north of Scranton, ND. They had four children: Monte, Rickie, Muriel and Sandy. Raymond enjoyed fishing and picnics with family at Garrison Dam. He was a member of the city commission and volunteer fire department at Hazen. He enjoyed helping with the famous turkey BBQ at Hazen Harvest Festival each fall. He was a member of St. Matthews Lutheran Church in Hazen and served on its council several years. Ray is survived by his children, Monte (Diana) Reiner, Muriel Reiner and Sandy (Tim) Hess; daughter-in-law, Lois Albers; ten grandchildren and 11 great-grandchildren.

RUTH MICHELS Ruth Mary (Skogen) Michels, 72, Belle Fourche, died October 18, 2019 at her home with family at her side. Her life will be celebrated 10am Friday, November 1st, 2019 at Leverington Funeral Home of the Northern Hills in Belle Fourche with Randy Bradley officiating. A visitation will be held 4 to 6pm Thursday, October 31st. Inurnment will be in Rockham, SD, hometown of her husband Rick Michels. Friends may leave written condolences and view her video tribute online at: www.funeralhomeofthenorthernhills. com In lieu of flowers, memorials are preferred. Ruth Mary Skogen was born to Clifford and Mary (Gerbracht) Skogen on May 12, 1947 at the Springer “Hospital” in Hettinger, before there was a real hospital in the town. She began life on the family farm eight miles north of Hettinger where she and her older brother Gary lived in the very house in which their father Cliff had been born. After her father joined the North Dakota National Guard and war broke out in Korea, her mother, along with Gary and Ruth,

moved to Camp Rucker, AL, and Fort Benning, GA, to keep the family together. Ruth always remembered fondly living in the South, eating boiled peanuts, and the wonderful AfricanAmerican woman who sometimes babysat her and her brother. In 1952, the family returned to Hettinger and the family farm. Never one to spend any time doing “farm work,” she stayed in the house with her mother and learned to be a tremendous cook, a passion that benefitted family, friends, and visitors to her home. In 1961 Ruth’s parents bought a hardware store in Hettinger and moved the family into town, the same year she began high school. Gone were the days of riding the station wagon “school bus” to and from school each day. In the place of that she could now get an after-school job, which she landed as a waitress at the City Café, a job she thoroughly enjoyed and held through her high school years. After graduation from Hettinger High in 1965, she enrolled at Stewart School of Hairstyling in Aberdeen, SD. Graduation from there in 1966 also saw her marriage to Lyle Stotz from Tolstoy, SD. Four children would come from this union: Shelly, Johnny Russell— who died in infancy—, Tina, and Andrea. This marriage ended in 1985 when Ruth moved to western South Dakota. Demonstrating her determination to make it on her own, she then enrolled in a computer technical program at Western Dakota Tech, Rapid City, SD, from where she graduated in 1987. With that degree

she got a job at Black Hills Special Services, Belle Fourche, where she worked with very “special people” for twenty years before retiring. In the early 1990s Ruth met the love of her life, Rick Michels. They were united in marriage in Deadwood, SD, on her birthday, May 12 (so Rick would only have to remember one date), 1995. Marriage to Rick brought three more children into her life: Jackie, Christie, and Joey, all whom she loved as her own. With a huge capacity to love, she also “adopted” Christie’s special friend Brooke Lunders as another daughter. While her final years, and particularly months, were very difficult, Ruth never complained and took great comfort in the love of all her children and grandchildren. Of the latter, Brady Hakala became a special companion to her when his mother Christie moved into the house to help care for her. Ruth is survived by her husband Rick, children Shelly Stotz, Webster, SD; Tina (Susan) Stotz, Cheyenne, WY; Andrea (Bryce) Wager, Spearfish, SD; Jackie Michels (Chad Bertalot), Rapid City, SD; Christie Michels, Belle Fourche, SD; Joey (Brianne) Michels, Spearfish, SD; older brother Gary, Las Vegas, NV; younger brother Larry, Mandan, ND; grandchildren Jessie and Kyra Wager, Otis Gibson, Tim and Scott Layman, Riley Herron, Brady Hakala, and Blake and Paysen Michels, as well as special friends Lon and Jana Dale. Ruth was preceded in death by one son and her parents.

LOCAL Hettinger FFA Members meet Temple Grandin SUBMITTED BY SAVANNAH HIBBERD

n Thursday September 12th, twelve Hettinger High School students loaded the bus at 7:30 am and started their trek to Beach, to meet and hear an inspiring presentation, Temple Grandin. Ms. Grandin was diagnosed with autism as a child. She didn’t speak unit she was three and a half years old. Her mother and aunt didn’t accept not educating Temple. They did everything they possibly could to help her find her place in the world. Her autism helped her ‘think in pictures’, for example, how cattle view certain environments. She took this ability and pursued work in psychology and animal science at the university level. She has become a promi-

nent author and speaker on both autism and animal behavior. She is best known for her exceeding knowledge in cattle handling and behavior. The gentlemen by the name of Tim Boehn, sponsored well over 50 students who attended. Throughout Ms. Grandin’s presentation, attendees were presented with a different way to view cattle, equipment, handling methods and more. She gave inspiring advice on how to be a better observer to a wide range of scenarios. Items such as chains, flags on a panel, shiny objects or a dark building may be reasons cattle may be frightened, but may not be something a herdsmen may take into consideration. Since cattle like to go back to where they come from, Ms. Grandin designs tubs to mimic that. She focuses

on low stress to animals lowing their cortisol levels, such as no yelling, dogs, the use prods. She is a strong advocate for more humane livestock handling, and has designed numerous innovations to help reduce stress in animals. She credits her autism, developmental brain disorder,

for her success as a scientist. She recognized that animals and autistic people share certain traits. This helped her rethink how livestock are handled in the beef and pork industry. For over 30 years, a large number of U.S. slaughterhouses have implemented her designs. One might also know

Ms. Grandin for her creation of a squeeze chute to calm people. After spending time with her aunt’s cattle ranch and witnessing the calming effect cattle had after being in a squeeze chute, she tried it out herself and loved the soothing effect on her nerves. She went home and built

her own. An advanced version went on to be used for treatment for autistic children. Temple is currently 72 years old. She says she just can’t climb fences like she used to. She teaches at the University of Colo-

Consider Toxicity Issues When Fall Grazing Toxicity could be a problem when allowing cattle to graze in the fall SUBMITTED BY HANNAH NORDBY

ith forage production abundant in most areas of North Dakota, producers may be using options to extend the grazing season, including stockpiled pasture, hay regrowth and warm- or cool-season annuals. “It is important to consider grazing management and potential plant and animal health implications when evaluating options for fall grazing,” cautions Janna Block, Extension livestock systems specialist at North Dakota State University’s Hettinger Research Extension Center. Bloat With Highly Digestible Forages Bloat can occur any time that cattle are grazing large quantities of highly digestible forage. Gases produced through the fermentation of forage are trapped in the rumen, putting pressure on the lungs and nerves, which affects the animals’ breathing. Pastures that contain 50% or more legumes such as alfalfa

or clover present a bloat risk, as do volunteer canola and small grains. The incidence of bloat tends to be greater early in the day, following a rain or after a frost. The risk is greatest in the first three to five days after a killing frost, but the best option is to avoid grazing for at least a week. This risk will decrease after the top half of the plant has dried down. Best management practices include: • Ensuring that cattle are full of dry hay before allowing them to graze. • Delaying turnout until pastures are dry after dew or rain. • Monitoring animals every couple of hours after turnout. If possible, provide cattle with access to other grazing, such as a permanent pasture. Providing a poloxalene block prior to and during grazing and placing hay bales in the field for grazing are additional management considerations. Bloat also is a risk for cattle grazing crop aftermath or standing grain crops. High grain

intake by cattle that have not been adapted properly can lead to bloat, founder or death. If volunteer grains matured to seed formation or mature grain is present in a field, grain overload from selective grazing could be a problem. Block suggests producers scout fields before turning cattle out to determine how much grain is present, or consider using strip grazing to limit access and/or adapt cattle to grain a week or so prior to grazing to help manage this issue. Grass Tetany Grass tetany is a potentially fatal condition in beef cattle caused by a magnesium (Mg) and calcium (Ca) deficiency combined with high levels of potassium (K). Although most producers associate grass tetany with grazing immature cool-season grasses in the early spring, cattle can be affected by tetany when consuming lush fall regrowth in grass pastures or annual cereal forages. This situation is less common in North Dakota because the mineral profile of fall regrowth

is not exactly like new spring growth; however, being aware of the possibility of a problem in the fall is important. Tetany also may occur during the winter, when cattle are consuming a diet based on grass, alfalfa or annual forages harvested for hay. Forages that contain less than 0.2% Mg and greater than 3% K represent a potential tetany risk. Block recommends testing a representative sample (about 10% of the bales from each lot of forage) using a hay probe and submitting the samples for forage analysis. “Challenging weather conditions during harvest could have a variety of negative implications on hay quality this year,” she notes. “Producers should consider laboratory analysis for crude protein, neutral detergent fiber (NDF), acid detergent fiber (ADF) and mineral content at a minimum.” To prevent tetany, producers should consider supplementing their cattle’s feed with a mineral containing 8% to 12% magnesium. Most mineral supplements contain magnesium oxide, which is unpalatable and may need to be mixed with grain or molasses to encourage consumption. If available, magnesium sulfate also is a good source and may be more palatable. Other Health Issues Other potential issues that can occur in cover crops and small grains include prussic acid

poisoning, nitrate toxicity and sulfur toxicity (polioencephalomalacia or PEM). Brassicas in particular carry a high risk of multiple toxicities and should not constitute more than 70% of the diet. For more information about grazing cover crops, check out https:// tinyurl.com/FallGrazingCoverCrops. “It is important to understand that nitrates and prussic acid are two separate issues and are not directly related to each other,” Block says. Prussic acid (also known as hydrogen cyanide or HCN) mainly is a concern with sorghums and sudangrass, while pearl and foxtail millet typically do not cause issues. Toxic levels most commonly are associated with frost because freezing ruptures the plant cells and releases cyanide gas. After a killing frost, released HCN will dissipate within a week to 10 days. New growth from frosted or droughtstressed plants is palatable but also will be dangerously high in cyanide. Leave a stubble height of at least 6 inches and do not graze regrowth until it is 18 inches tall. Nitrate-accumulating crops include small grains, millet, brassicas, corn, sorghum and sudangrass. Rangeland or pasture weeds such as pigweed, Russian thistle, lambsquarter and kochia also are nitrate accumulators. Reduced growth in annuals during the fall may slow conversion of

soil nitrogen to protein and amino acids in the plant, causing high levels of nitrate to accumulate. Dangerous levels of nitrate occur several days after a light frost but typically decrease within 10 to 14 days if conditions improve and the plant starts actively growing again. However, unlike prussic acid, nitrate levels do not decrease after a killing freeze. When plants die off, nitrogen uptake by roots will cease, but nitrate that is in the plant at that time will remain because no further photosynthesis will take place. The Adams County NDSU Extension office offers a “Nitrate QuikTest” that can be used to determine presence or absence of nitrate prior to grazing or haying. For baled hay, the best option is to use a hay probe to collect samples and analyze them for nitrate content. “A variety of options are available for extending the grazing season into the fall and making efficient use of available resources,” Block says. “Awareness of potential issues and attention to grazing management will minimize losses and optimize success.” Contact your local NDSU Extension agent Hannah Nordby for more information about potential toxicity issues and grazing management strategies at 701-5672735 or Hannah.nordby@ndsu.edu.
