Watch the Sky
In just 12 days, folks across Idaho (and America) will experience an event that hasn’t happened in 26 years - a total solar eclipse. If you don’t already know, viewing the eclipse can be dangerous. Unless you are in Totality, you should never look directly at the sun without special equipment. Special glasses are available throughout Idaho, but be warned... there have been reports of FAKE eclipse glasses! This should not scare you away from viewing the eclipse, but make sure you take all the proper precautions to protect your eyes, and the eyes of your children. In Idaho, the eclipse will begin about a quarter after 10 a.m. on August 21st, and last almost 2.5 hours with 2 minutes of totality. As you can see in the map below, the Path of Totality will travel across Idaho from Weiser, through Stanley, and on over to Rexburg. Totality at those locations will be from about 11:25 to 11:30 a.m. Planning to travel to a specific location? Plan ahead. Towns near the centerline are already feeling the pressure of people gathering for this event. If you don’t want to travel, don’t worry. The partial eclipse will cover all of North America and part of South America with the moon’s shadow reaching from the north pole to well past the equator. A unique fact about this eclipse is that the Path of Totality only touches mainland United States. The last time this happened was on June 13th, 1257 (of course, America wasn’t a country at that time)! BONUS: This Friday and Saturday is the peak of the Perseid meteor shower. The greatest number of meteors typically fall in the wee hours before dawn (you can often spot 50 or more Lincoln, Minidoka, Owyhee, and Twin Falls meteors per hour). The one downside... the moon will be very counties – with the exception of forest service bright and many of the smaller meteors will covered up by the lands in Cassia and Twin Falls counties. glare. Even so, it is well worth staying up late. These restrictions are being implemented by agencies managing or providing wildland fire protection, which include the Sawtooth National Forest, Bureau of Land Management Twin Falls District and the Idaho Department of Lands (IDL). These restrictions are separated into Zones and described as follows:
Stage 1 Fire Restrictions Ordered for South Central Idaho
As the threat of wildfire danger continues to increase, state and federal land management agencies will implement Stage 1 Fire Restrictions on lands within south central Idaho effective August 14, 2017 at midnight. Fire restrictions are intended to decrease the chance of any preventable fires in the designated areas. Stage 1 fire restrictions will be in place on federal, state and private forest- and rangelands, roads, and trails, situated in Blaine, Camas, Cassia, Custer, Elmore, Gooding, Jerome,

Letter to the Editor
Dear Editor, After reading the article titled; Effects of Airports on Land Value I have a few observations I would like to share. The two airports that were mentioned, Portland-Hillsboro in Washington County Oregon and Sea Tac in Seattle have very little in common with Camas County. These two airports are in locations that have long been void of wide open spaces, farms and an agricultural way of life. They have industry, jobs, large populations, traffic, crime, lack of affordable housing and all that goes with urban sprawl. The comprehensive plans for the municipalities that house these airports make little mention of agricultural impact. Our comp plan puts agriculture first. The unknown author of the article is comparing apples to oranges. Reading the web pages of both airports, I noticed a reoccurring theme; NOISE ISSUES. Two local reviews of the Hillsboro Airport were quite vocal about the air traffic noise. One stated; “ please stop flying over houses at 2:00 a.m.” Another complained; “ The airport is destroying our community with too much helicopter and aircraft traffic”. Sea Tac airport has 28 noise monitoring stations in and
around Seattle. Their locations are 20 miles in either direction from the airport. Sounds like living near an airport has it’s drawbacks. I do not believe anybody would want to pay more for a home near an airport. The Woodside subdivision that sits just east of Friedman has the lowest home values in the Hailey area. As an owner of a rental along the bike path I can state that potential tenants have concerns about the noise and odor of jet fuel. Its location to the runway eliminates about half of those looking to rent. It was interesting that this house sat on the market for a long time and the price dropped to a ridiculously low figure before it sold. You do not need to be directly adjoining the project property to be effected in a negative manner. Could an airport have positive effects on property values? Depends on the purpose and intent of the project. Here lies the rub. We do not know the purpose and have not seen the master plan. Everything is speculation. Change that. Insist on a Conditional Use Permit before allowing a Public or Private Commercial airport. Be sure we stand true to the vision of our Comprehensive Plan. Sincerely, Jeff Kreyssig

Commodity Prices Create Financial Challenges & Opportunities for Ag Producers
By Vern Eames Financial Center Manager Zions Bank Low commodity prices are perhaps the greatest challenge facing agriculture producers this year. Following several good years called the “ag super cycle,” we have experienced decreased prices that have fallen far below the cost of production. With values at recession-level lows, and costs nearly as high as they’ve ever been, farming operations are experiencing a difficult 2017. Since most commodity prices are largely driven by national ag markets and are not expected to change in the near term, many farmers are turning to their financial institutions for advice about how to weather the storm. This has had a significant impact on the ag lending sector, as many operators consider how to keep their businesses profitable. Ag lending saw a significant increase in 2016, driven by lower overall farm revenue. Producers and bankers are working to align costs with lower prices. In some cases, producers may have to extend credit terms or refinance or renegotiate land rent agreements to reflect the new price reality. Credit is available and most providers of credit are well positioned to help producers adjust to today’s lower commodity prices. While credit standards are not materially changing, lower commodity prices can make qualifying for loans more difficult. Apart from borrowing, many operations have alternative options that allow them to cut production costs. The challenge for most ag producers is knowing how and where to trim expenses. It’s important to look at every part of your operation strategically and consider the following: Reduce Acres Marginal production acres may need to be eliminated or general overall acres be reduced to improve efficiencies or reduce total borrowing risk. If working capital has dropped, it is easier to obtain a loan at a lesser dollar level.
Reduce Labor Costs Over the past few years one area of expense that has continued to climb is labor. Can the operation reduce the labor force by eliminating intense labor fields and/or change cropping so that grains may be on ground with hand lines? Management may need to absorb more of the day-to-day labor to survive another year. Negotiate Land Rents Land rents rose to historical highs during the ag super cycle. With lower commodity prices, rent rates should be ratcheting back down. Consider dropping a farm lease if the landlord will not negotiate. Another option would be to share the risk utilizing a crop share lease. Postpone Machinery Upgrades Low commodity price cycles are a critical time to consider postponing machinery purchases. Another option would be to consider purchasing used equipment. It is likely that there will be equipment auctions in the current depressed ag environment. At Zions Bank, we strive to provide our ag customers with information and practical resources that help them make informed decisions and compete effectively. Today a customer can log on to www.zionsbank.com/business/agribusinessresources and access agribusiness information and resources. We also encourage ag producers to meet with a lender who can help address their individual needs. Zions Agricultural Finance offers a variety of flexible farmland loans and programs. Zions Ag Finance is one of a limited number of institutions under contract to service Farmer Mac loans, which are available to refinance farmland with a long-term, low-interest loan. -- Vern Eames is vice president and financial center manager for Zions Bank in Gooding.

Cup of Tee
Years ago there was a TV series called Extreme Home Makeover (20032011) with Ty Pennington as a host. In this series they would build or remodel a home that helped a family in need with a total makeover in about a week and a half’s time. At the end of their short construction time they would bring the family to their house and it would be covered (visibly) by a large bus. Then they would shout, “MOVE THAT BUS.” The bus would move exposing the new home. Years ago my friend bought himself a home and had a large motorhome which he couldn’t get in between his heating/air conditioning system and the tree in the yard. To move them would be a major unnecessary adjustment. So, the large motorhome (bus) was stored out at my house by the barn. A few years ago my friend told me he was going to give me the bus. I told him he couldn’t do that. His reply was, “I will do whatever I want with the bus!” Two months later I received a Christmas gift in a small box. In the box was the title and the key to the bus. So, now I have the bus. It was completely built from an old Gillig school bus into a very nice motorhome. For the past couple of years the bus has sat at my house with me not doing anything at all to it. I figured I would get around to using it for some recreation. Being on the job hasn’t allowed me any time to even look at the bus. Recently, as I have stated before, my prop-

erty was purchased. My new land owner has said to me, “You need to move that bus.” Maybe he wants to see the barn? Now I’ve got to a place where I can put a little attention on the bus. So, a few days ago I started my prepping to make the bus run. The radiator, oil, and other miscellaneous services were checked off my list. Now it came time to change the fuel filter (the bus has now been sitting for about six years). I placed my fuel filter wrench on the filter canister. I reefed until my hands hurt and couldn’t loosen the canister. I called a friend and he said he had a 24” pipe wrench. Ok, I’ll get it off with that wrench for sure. I crawled back in the engine compartment of the bus and started to break loose the fuel canister. I was giving the wrench my all and started to bend the handle. Sweating profusely, I began to wonder why this simple task was so hard. Things started to loosen, and then, I saw a nut on the back side of the canister. It was moving also. It was the bolt to take the canister loose. I actually thought I broke it. The bolt unscrewed with ease and the filter put back in, tightening it back up with ease. Priming the fuel system would have been easy if I had been priming the right hose. Nobody, I mean nobody ever said I was a mechanic. Once I did things right, the bus started with ease (one push button start only) and runs great. This is my “Cup of Tee” saying, Now, you can “Move that bus.”
