Gooding Student Surprised With Cash-Filled Backpack

College of Southern Idaho student Shawna Waasdorp thought she was stopping by Zions Bank on Tuesday for some routine business. Instead, she was surprised with a backpack stuffed with $1,000 in cash by Branch Service Manager Sharon Seifert after being selected as one of three winners of Zions Bank's Student Banking Sweepstakes.

Waasdorp's name was drawn from a pool of more than 2,000 entries. Qualified entrants were ages 15 to 25 who participated in the sweepstakes by opening a Zions Bank Anytime Checking account, Young Savers account or Visa credit card, or by mailing in an entry between May 10, 2021, and July 2, 2021.

Waasdorp said the prize money will help her pay off her auto loan and continue her education at CSI. "We know teens and young adults face unique financial challenges," Seifert said. "We hope this money will help Shawna as she pursues her dreams and begins to build her financial future."

USDA Offers Disaster Assistance to Idaho Ag Producers

Idaho agricultural operations have been significantly impacted by the ongoing, severe drought.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has technical and financial assistance available to help farmers and livestock producers recover. As agricultural producers move into recovery mode and assess damages, they should contact their local USDA Service Center to report losses and learn more about program options available to assist in their recovery from crop, land, infrastructure and livestock losses and damages.

“Unfortunately, conditions continue to deteriorate across Idaho with every county experiencing drought conditions,” said Gloria Montaño Greene as Deputy Under Secretary for Farm Production and Conservation (FPAC). “USDA can step in with disaster assistance programs designed to alleviate some of the financial impact experienced by agricultural producers suffering drought losses.”

USDA Disaster Assistance for Drought Recovery Producers who experience livestock deaths and feed losses due to natural disasters may be eligible for the Emergency Assistance for Livestock, Honeybees, and Farm-Raised Fish Program (ELAP). This program also provides eligible producers with compensation for expenses associated with transporting water to livestock physically located in a county that is designated as level “D3 Drought - Extreme” according to the U.S. Drought Monitor. For ELAP, producers see page 5..... will need to file a notice of livestock loss within 30 days and honeybee losses within 15 days of the continued on page 2 & 3... loss becoming apparent.

Shawna Waasdorp celebrates her $1,000 cash prize with her family and Branch Service Manager Sharon Seifert.

Cup of Tee

Years ago, a common sight in the summer while going down the road was coming upon a car with kids sticking their arms out the windows.

If you were not from around the Idaho area, you might think the people from Idaho were very friendly and everyone waves at everyone. That in itself is a true statement - we do acknowledge everyone with a hello.

In most cases the cars of early didn't have air conditioning. The "air conditioner" was the two or four vent windows pointed at 45 degrees forcing the outside air into the car. Of course, movement of the car helped the air flow as opposed to sitting at a traffic light.

Kids learned early that sticking their arms out the windows could get additional air flow. If you held your hand at a certain angle, the air would go different ways. Different sounds could be made be different hand positions. Make believe catching a fence post or telephone pole made short trips of perhaps a boring ride. I don't believe the expression, "Are we there yet?" even entered into our minds. We were too busy creating and covering the landscape with the touch of our fingers.

Sometimes you bunched an old bull in the face and he never knew you passed by. Maybe your

hands helped a tractor go faster or that ripe apple on a tree was picked and your imagination had it in the backseat.

Boys being a little more adventurous could really figure out air flow into the car. Many a sister sitting in the middle would get her long hair messed up in all kinds of directions. This usually got a little hand air flow from mom in the front seat.

As kids, we didn't know that our hands outside the car window was an outside classroom.

My moving and directing the air we set a basis for learning aerodynamics. It helped understand how birds flew. Future rocket scientists were born.

Vacuum cleaner technology was hands on. Air conditioning systems were perfected. New designs of cars were on the table. Radio waves were defined (like FM radio). Cooking was simplified by having the right amount of mixtures. Hair salons gave the right fluff to hair (hair dryers?). Clothes dryers replaced the clothesline. Paint dried in half the time. Irrigation sprinklers could manage drift.

Don't even mention weather forecasters.

There are numerous things that the hands outside the car window led us to do or imagine. Still, at the top of the list is an Idaho hello hand wave.

This is my “Cup of Tee” with a high five fan wave.

Livestock producers may also be eligible for the Livestock Forage Disaster Program (LFP) for 2021 grazing losses due to drought. LFP benefits may be available for grazing acres losses due to wildfires on federally managed lands on which a producer is prohibited, by a federal agency, from grazing normally permitted livestock.

Additionally, emergency haying and grazing of CRP acres may be authorized (outside of the primary nesting season) to provide relief to livestock producers in areas affected by a severe drought or similar natural disaster. Emergency haying and grazing status is reviewed and authorized each Thursday using the U.S. Drought Monitor. Counties are approved for emergency haying and grazing due to drought conditions on a county by county basis, when a county is designated as level “D2 Drought - Severe” according to the U.S. Drought Monitor.

Eligible orchardists and nursery tree growers may be eligible for cost-share assistance through the Tree Assistance Program (TAP) to replant or rehabilitate eligible trees, bushes or vines lost during the drought. This complements Noninsured Crop Disaster Assistance Program (NAP) or crop insurance coverage, which covers the crop but not the plants or trees in all cases. For TAP, a program application must be filed within 90 days.

“As soon as you can evaluate drought impact on your operation, be sure to contact your local FSA office to timely report all crop, livestock and farm infrastructure damages and losses,” said Charles Newhouse, acting state executive director for the Farm Service Agency (FSA) in Idaho. “To expedite FSA disaster assistance, you will likely need to provide documents, such as farm records, herd inven-

The Dark Roots of Russian Knapweed

1-208-246-9999

by the Camas Bug Crew

The featured weed this week is Russian knapweed. As the title suggests Russian knapweed is the only knapweed with black roots. This characteristic makes it very easy to identify. Similarly to its cousins, Russian Knapweed loves Idaho’s dry climate. It is very easy to spread; its seeds can stay dormant in the soil for many years. The first step to controlling this noxious predator is to identify it.

Russian knapweed is a perennial plant that reproduces mainly by creeping roots. In addition, a single plant is capable of producing more than 1,200 seeds. These seeds vary in color from gray to ivory and are produced from August through September. The erect stems are openly branched and typically 45 to 90cm tall. The leaves are oblong on the upper part of the plant and become deeply lobed the closer they are to the root crown. Russian knapweed produces many flowers which range in color from pink to blue. Flowering typically begins in June and continues through September. Russian knapweed forms dense infestations across habitat types in the arid west. It is a significant pest of rangelands, roadsides, waste areas, and can invade grain and other crops.

We have a bug predator to help control this noxious weed.

The Jaapiella ivannikovi, or the Russian knapweed gall midge, is another recently approved biological control agent for Russian knapweed. Female midges appear in April and deposit their eggs on the surface of buds on the tips of the main and site shoots of Russian knapweed plants. Larva feeding causes the weeds to grow together and fuse, there by stunting the shoot and creating a gall where larva development and pupation occur. Four to five partially over lapping generations, each lasting approximately one month, have been observed in the field.

In conclusion, Russian Knapweed is a very contagious weed. If you happen to find this dark rooted menace, then contact Terry Lee at (208-764-3512). tory, receipts and pictures of damages or losses” FSA also offers a variety of direct and guaranteed loans, including operating and emergency loans, to producers unable to secure commercial financing. Producers in counties with a primary or contiguous disaster designation may be eligible for low-interest emergency loans to help them recover from production and physical losses. Loans can help producers replace essential property, purchase inputs like livestock, equipment, feed and seed, cover family living expenses or refinance farm-related debts and other needs.

Risk Management

Producers who have risk protection through Federal Crop Insurance or FSA’s NAP should report crop damage to their crop insurance agent or FSA office, respectively. If they have crop insurance, producers should report crop damage to their agent within 72 hours of initial discovery of damage or loss of production. Notices may be made by telephone or in person to their agent and then confirmed in writing within 15 days. For NAP covered crops, a Notice of Loss (CCC-576) must be filed within 15 days of the loss becoming apparent, except for hand-harvested crops, which should be reported within 72 hours.

“Crop insurance and other USDA risk management options are there to help producers manage risk because we never know what nature has in store for the future,” said Ben Thiel, director of RMA’s Regional Office that covers Washington. “The Approved Insurance Providers, loss adjusters and agents are experienced and well trained in handling these types of events.”

Additionally, RMA authorized emergency procedures earlier this month to help agricultural producers impacted by extreme drought conditions. Emergency procedures allow insurance companies to accept delayed notices of loss in certain situations, streamline paperwork and reduce the number of required representative samples when damage is consistent.

Letter to the Editor

Are You Tired of Smoke?

1. Not enough forest management. a. More tree removal from national forests. b. Create clear-cut corridors for fire breaks where feasible. c. Too much blame on climate change and not enough emphasis on removing dead & sick trees.

2. Re-establish lookout stations that were used in the past.

3. Station tanker helicopters every 120 miles apart, loaded with retardant and ready for flight 24/7 (the furthest any would have to fly would be about 60 miles - they could be at a fire start in about 20 minutes).

4. Have smoke jumpers on site immediately after retardant drop.

5. Quick response is the key to fire control.
