Coffee Talks: a chill way to learn FRANK TURNER

acrnews@countrymedia.net

fter seemingly endless rain, farmers and producers have been rushing to har vest their crops and take advantage of the sunshine while it lasts. Even still, some farmers found the time on Tuesday to sit down, have a cup of coffee, and talk about cover crops with Research agronomist John Rickertsen, Extension Agronomist Ryan Buetow, and other producers at C&N café. Pheasants Forever Precision Ag & Conser vation Specialist Emily Spolyar also briefly joined the conversation to advocate for conser vation-focused planting. Adams County Extension Agent Hannah Nordby organized the event with a more relaxed and engaging atmosphere in mind. The Adams County Soil Conser vation District sponsored free coffee and treats for the event. Nordby said that producers were both receptive to the easygoing talk and engaged with questions and discussion. “I just liked the idea of just having a ver y short program where producers can come in, talk, and be engaged in a low-key event that’s not too time consuming,” said Nordby. “I think it’s really good to avoid ‘death by powerpoint.’

ast weekend, planes, aircraft, and classic cars from the surrounding region stopped into the Hettinger Airport for Hettinger’s 3rd annual Flyin Breakfast.

Although in previous years foggy weather has plagued the event, Volunteer Firefighter and Event Coordinator James Lindquist said that this year’s weather turned out great. “For two years we were fogged in so pilots couldn’t participate,” said Lindquist. “Luckily, this year’s forecast was manageable.” Overall, Lindquist estimated over 200 people attended the event.

Things really seemed to stick better when the discussion was interactive.” Specifically, the local agronomist specialists talked about cover crops. Rickertson said that with winter looming in the distance, farmers are already considering their next move to keep their fields at maximum productivity. Cover crops, according

to specialists, are crops specifically planted to improve soil activity. “ The idea is to tr y and keep something growing in the soil at all times,” said Rickertson. “Cover crops can benefit the soil and keep micro biomes thriving when traditional crops aren’t being grown.” At the coffee chat, producers were not only able to discuss the topic with local experts, but also discuss and share experiences with other producers.

Nordby said that, after seeing the success of the event, she hopes to continue hosting similar discussions in the future, and continue rotating the venue to different coffee shops and businesses in the area. “ We are planning on the next coffee talk happening in December,” said Nordby. “If anything else, the coffee talk is a great chance to talk with others in the community and learn something new.”

With the return of Teigen in the second half, better shooting and rebounding, they outscored Hettinger/Scranton 37-

26 but the Ranchers fell just short by two points. They had a chance to tie the game with less than a minute to go but, Sam Kludt blocked a close in shot by Teigen which more than likely saved the game from being tied. The Ranchers got the ball back with 10 seconds left but could not get off a good shot. Kludt was having a problem finding his shooting touch but his blocked shot was definitely one of the key moments for the

Nighthawks. Sadowsky scored 34 for HS which included five 3-pointers and Brandon Pierce added 21. I had Clayton Koch leading Harding Co. with 23 points.

Collins. “That’s where we need to work at, trying to keep longevity, whether that be benefits or wages after the fact.” After an assessment of eight surrounding counties, Collins said that he found Adams County on the lower end of law enforcement pay. Specifically, Collins looked at areas with similar

populations and similar dynamics to Adams County. Collins continued, “I’m not saying that we are going to compete with the Fargos of the world, we just don’t have that tax base, that’s not realistic. But we do need to be cognizant of what our neighbors are paying so we can stay in a competitive range, get those quality applicants, and keep our staff happy.” Although the new

deputy still has yet to complete academy training, Collins said that he is excited to have him join the department, especially because he is already an involved member in the community. “We are lucky to have Matt’s interest,” he said. “I think he will be a good asset to our office and the community as a whole.”

event usually has good attendance because the community is always excited to see what planes the breakfast attracts. “The breakfast is mainly a chance for aviation enthusiasts to stop by the airport, check out the facilities, and see what planes are being flown locally,” he said. At the event, some pilots flew their planes at low levels for specta-

tors. Once landed, kids and adults alike were able to explore many of the planes and view the cockpits up close. “A lot of people don’t imagine driving out to the airport and hanging out on the ramp because it’s not that common,” said Linquist. “This event lets people see the planes up close and try something new.” Lindquist said that a range of aircrafts from all over the region attended the event. Pilot Warren Peach from Minot brought a re-

stored AT-6 World War II plane to the event. Sanford Air Medical also participated in the event by bringing their Medical King Air 200 and medical helicopter. In total, 20 airplanes visited and 10 classic cars were on display at the breakfast. “It’s really fun to see that helicopter or old war plane come in,” said Lindquist. “I think everybody really enjoyed the event.”

Russell Braddock Russell Eugene Braddock, 64 of West Fargo, passed away suddenly on Tuesday, September 10, at a Fargo hospital. He was born August 18, 1955, to Dale and Ruby Ann (Oase) Braddock in Williston, North Dakota. He grew up in Reeder, North Dakota, graduating from Reeder High School in 1973. He attended the University of North Dakota and Spartan College of Aeronautics and Technology. He spent the majority of his career working in the aviation industry. His career took him from the Dakotas to California,

Arizona, and Texas. He married Nola Schick on December 23, 1977, and they had two children together. They later divorced and supported their children together, eventually welcoming five grandchildren. In his spare time, Russell enjoyed the outdoors. He enjoyed hunting, fishing, camping, shooting, and most of all riding his Harley. Russell loved to travel and experience new places and foods. During his time living in the southwest he developed a keen ability to sniff out a good Mexican restaurant. At home in North Dakota he enjoyed all manner of sausages and jerky. In December 2009 Russell moved to Fargo and began a career at Fargo Jet Center. Shortly after relocating to Fargo he met Kim Grindberg and a romance was born. Russell and Kim became engaged and bought a house together where they lived happily until his passing. He and Kim would often spend weekends riding throughout the local countryside, sharing time with friends and family, puttering around the yard, and cheering the Bison and Vikings.

Russ was known by his family and friends to be a generous and kind man. Quick to laugh and share a joke, Russ enjoyed the company of others and often called far away relatives and acquaintances to stay in touch. Russell is survived by his sister Norma Braddock of Bismarck, daughter Shonda of Fargo, son Christopher (Amy) of Fargo, two granddaughters Courtney and Taylor Schiwal of Brentwood, New Hampshire, three grandsons Connor, Owen, and Finnegan of Fargo, and fiancé Kim Grindberg of West Fargo. Also many cousins, nieces, nephews, and close friends. Russell was preceded in death by his parents Dale and Ruby Ann, brother Keith Braddock, and several aunts and uncles. Services were held at 10:00am on Saturday, September 14 at Boulger Funeral Home and Celebration of Life Center, Fargo. Arrangements entrusted to the care of Boulger Funeral Home and Celebration of Life Center. To sign the online guestbook, go to www.boulgerfuneralhome.com.

DEAN MEYER Guest Columnist

Hello,

Did I ever tell you about my military career? If I did, I’m sorry, because you are

going to hear about it again. You see, I was in the Guard. The National Guard. A long, long time ago. Back in the day. As cowboys say, “Back when the chutes were wood, and the men were steel”. Bob was, and is, a close friend of mine. Since we were both farm and ranch guys, we often partook in events following drill that made us a bit slow in the morning. I apologize, but it happens. One Sunday morning we were a bit

Your community's views

tardy for roll call. Not bad mind you, but we were late. The first sergeant called us in for an explanation. Never lacking for words I explained that Bob’s dad had become deathly ill, in fact I may have said that he had passed away and we had to go to Bob’s place and milk cows. Which kind of surprised Bob, who knew his dad was in perfect health. The first sergeant wasn’t buying my excuse and exclaimed, “That neither Bob or I was smart enough, or capable enough, to milk a cow”.

That hurt. That really hurt. It just happened that I had a halfton pickup in town that weekend. With a stock rack on it. The first sergeant had noticed this, and after some consideration, decided that he would not give us any penalty for missing roll call, provided we go get a milk cow, and milk her in front of the company! Bob’s farm was about 20 miles from Dickinson. His dad, Old Bob, was quite surprised when two soldiers in fatigues, walked into the barn and explained

they needed to borrow a milk cow! We didn’t carry our weapons or anything, and he actually was kind of amused at our predicament. We picked out a cow standing in a stanchion that Old Bob hadn’t gotten to yet, backed up to a chute, and loaded the poor old cow up for a trip to town. When we pulled up to the armory, the first sergeant called a company formation. The troops all lined up and Bob and I crawled over the side of that stock rack to begin milk-

ing that cow. The first sergeant had them primed for this. They all began throwing firecrackers into the back of the pickup. Have you ever tried to milk a cow while both you and the cow were dodging firecrackers? It gets pretty crowded. I don’t think that poor old cow gave milk for a week. And we were never late again. Later, Dean

because I brought it along with a couple of large pictures of Gov. Joe Foss and Rep. E.Y. Berry speaking to the crowd in the old movie theater in Bison during Bison’s 50th anniversary in 1958. I had dropped those pictures off at the Bison Museum right after Irwin Tescher’s funeral and still had the book with me. A relative of Ben Ash, the pioneer scout who marked the Bismarck to Deadwood Trail (now Highway 212) in 1876, had visited Ryan to get information about his ancestor and Ryan found several articles about Ben Ash in the “Homestead Years” book to give him. Kent Wilkinson and Ashley Goldade had a very nice wedding at the Catholic Church that evening with the reception at the Timber Lake Community Center. We wish them a long and happy life together. Pastor Henry Mohagen left this week to help fly an airplane to the church in Alaska, so Dave Johnston from the Moreau River Sanctuary gave a wonderful

sermon at Slim Buttes Sunday morning. After church Linda Mohagen took several people hiking in the Slim Buttes after she fed them lunch at her house. It sounded like fun, but my knee didn’t think so. Congress is back from vacation so I’ll share these government quotes: *Suppose you were an idiot. And suppose you were a member of Congress. But then I repeat myself. - Mark Twain *I contend that for a nation to try to tax itself into prosperity is like a man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle. Winston Churchill *A government which robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend on the support of Paul. - George Bernard Shaw *No man's life, liberty, or property is safe while the legislature is in session. Mark Twain *Government's view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it. - Ronald Reagan

BETTY OLSON Guest Columnist

Last Sunday was the first day of Sunday school at Slim Buttes with a potluck dinner after church. It was also Casey’s birthday and he celebrated by taking Missy to Dickinson to visit Lanie and Matt and the kids and pick up his new para-plane. It was cold and wet all day but Acalia warmed us right up when she called to wish us happy Grandparents Day that afternoon! Reub and I had a parts run to Bowman and Hettinger Monday afternoon. Before we left Bowman we

stopped at the nursing home to see Violet Krambeer and her daughter Darlene Welch who was staying close to her mother and we were so glad we got to see Aunt Violet one last time because she passed away that night. Aunt Patsy Wilkinson and Joe and Karen Wilkinson came to see her Sunday night. Aunt Violet has been in bad shape for over a year and wasn’t expected to live to see her 97th birthday last year. She fooled the doctors last year and then again this year by turning 98 on September 5! The Slim Buttes Ladies Aid met Tuesday afternoon and we will furnish the lunch for Aunt Violet’s Celebration of Life on September 27 at 2:00 at the Reva Hall. I had to see a doctor in Hettinger on Wednesday to get a pre-op for my knee surgery in October. I guess they found that everything was a go for the surgery that I’m not looking forward to. There are two new baby boys to tell you about! Jacy and Cody Buffington are the proud parents of a boy born

September 11 in Spearfish. Little Ryatt James weighed 7 lbs. 2 oz. and is 20 inches long. Kayla and Cody Sarsland’s baby boy was born in Dickinson on September 13. Crew Danial weighed 9 lbs. 3 oz. and is 21 inches long. Congratulations to the parents and grandparents! It rained here on Wednesday and Thursday, putting an inch and 34 hundreds in the rain gauge. No haying this week, but I didn’t have to water the gardens! Reub had his appointment with Mary Eggebo Thursday afternoon, so we were able to pick up some more swather parts up there. Reub spent quite a little time working on the swather and got it going so he could mow Olson Creek south of the house when it got dry enough. Friday was a busy day. Reub left for a state sale in Sturgis that morning and I headed to Bison for the funeral of my old friend Irwin Tescher at the Bentley Building at 10:30 that morning. Irwin, 89, passed away

September 5, the last of the nine Tescher children. Harold Delbridge gave the message and Justin Seim provided the music to bid the old cowboy goodbye. Irwin was buried in the Bison Cemetery next to his wife Betty. The last time I had been to the Bison Cemetery was a couple years ago when I caught a ride to the cemetery with Irwin while he told me some great stories about when my father was his boxing and track coach at Sorum high school. I’m going to miss those visits. I drove to Timber Lake that afternoon for the wedding of Kent Wilkinson and Ashley Goldade at 5:00. I got there way too early, so I stopped to talk about history with Sen. Ryan Maher at his insurance office in Timber Lake. Ryan took me across the street to visit with Kathy Nelson and check out the new stuff at the museum. When we got back to Ryan’s office he asked me if I had ever seen the “Homestead Years” book about Perkins County history. It just so happened that I had a copy of it out in the pickup

LOCAL NDSU Extension Offers Tips for Fall Grazing Cover Crops SUBMITTED BY HANNAH NORDBY

id you know that according to North Dakota State University Extension livestock experts cover crop acreage is expected to increase in response to the U.S. Department of Agriculture Risk Management Agency's revision to the preventive-planting insurance provisions? The revision has allowed producers to hay or graze a cover crop on preventive-plant acres beginning Sept. 1. This increase in cover crop acreage provides an opportunity for ranchers. "Cover crops are a great way for ranchers to add flexibility into their grazing system," says Miranda Meehan, Extension livestock environmental stewardship specialist. "Planting cover crops will produce a high-quality forage and extend the grazing season while allowing rangeland and pastures adequate time to recover." However, grazing cover crops can present some challenges to ranchers. Here are four things for producers to keep in mind as they prepare to graze cover crops this fall. Know the Quality of Your Forage "Forage testing helps ensure the feed you are feeding your cattle meets their nutritional requirements," says Kevin Sedivec, Extension rangeland management specialist. "This is especially important when grazing cover crops because the quality will vary, depending on the species, varieties and maturity." Forage quality parameters to be most concerned with include crude protein, digestibility, fiber level and minerals. Brassicas such as turnips and radish often are incorporated into cover crop mixes as a highquality forage. Research on species and variety of brassicas conducted at NDSU found crude proteins of 14% to 27% and total digestible nutrients of 70% to 80%. In addition, brassicas can contain

as much as 80% water, depending on the timing of grazing. This combination can disrupt rumen function if high-fiber plants such as millet, sorghum, sudangrass and corn are not included in the mix. Ranchers may need to provide low-quality supplemental fiber, such as low-quality hay or straw, to increase intake and maintain performance. Be Aware of Potential Toxins Many species of cover crops have the potential to be toxic to cattle. Producers must be aware of potentially toxic species, conditions that increase the risk of toxicity and grazing management practices that reduce the potential of cattle consuming toxic forage. The most common toxicities associated with cover crops include hydrocyanic acid (HCN), nitrate and sulfur. Forage sorghum, sudangrass and hybrids contain HCN in the leaves and stems. The concentration of HCN depends on the species, variety, maturity, plant injury and environmental damage (hail and frost). The concentrations of HCN decrease as the plant matures. Damage or injury to the plant from hail, insects, frost or harvest breaks cells and releases the toxins. These grazing management strategies reduce the potential for HCN toxicity: * Delay grazing cattle until forage is 18 to 24 inches tall. * Avoid grazing regrowth under 12 inches. * Do not graze following hail or a light frost. Grazing after a killing frost is safe because the HCN dissipates quickly after the plant dies. Nitrates can accumulate in small-grain forages (wheat, oats, rye, triticale and barley), sorghum, sudangrass and corn. When plants encounter stressful growing conditions, photosynthesis is inhibited and the potential for

accumulation of nitrates is increased. "We typically associate nitrate accumulation with drought stress, but it also can accumulate during prolonged periods of cool, cloudy weather," Meehan says. These strategies can help reduce the risk of nitrate poisoning when grazing: * Do not move hungry cows. * Provide cattle with roughage to reduce the amount of nitrate ingested. * Do not overstock pastures when grazing high-nitrate forages. Overstocking increases the amount of highnitrate plant parts (stems and stalks) that cows consume. Know Your Carrying Capacity The stocking rate is going to depend on the carry capacity of the cover crop and individual management goals. A number of factors influence carrying capacity, including soils, type of cover crop, stage of growth and rainfall. To determine carrying capacity accurately, producers first must determine forage production of the area to be grazed. The most accurate method to calculate forage production is the clip-and-weigh method, Sedivec says. This method requires the actual harvesting of standing forage at a given time to predict available forage. The available forage is measured by hand clipping and weighing a specified number of plots within a grazing/forage production area. See NDSU Extension publication "NDSU Range and Forage Production Sample Kits" (https://tinyurl.com/ NDSU-RangeSampleKits) for detailed instructions on calculating forage production. Once forage production has been determined, then make an adjustment for harvest efficiency. Harvest efficiency is the

MICHELLE WITT Hi, my name is Michelle Witt from the Hettinger FFA Chapter. My SAE (supervises agriculture experience) is my job at the NDSU Hettinger Research Extension Center. During my junior year, I started working in the agronomy department of the Hettinger Research Extension Center under John Rickertsen. Mr. Rickertsen has helped me discover my passion for agronomy starting by coaching agronomy and then hiring me at the station. In March, I began learning about seed packaging for planting. This

included work in the lab of packing by weight and seed count. This summer, I pulled weeds and helped in station property upkeep. As harvest season has started, I have been doing seed weight counts and barley plumps. This SAE has helped me find the career I plan to pursue which is agronomy, as I plan on attending Bismarck Sate College and major in Agronomy. I have not only learned the vast areas in agronomy, I have become more comfortable in public speaking and my personal confidence.
