In the land of the free, home of the brave, lies the Treasure State in all its grandeur, and unless you’re a newcomer here you’ve heard and felt the heartbeat of Montana’s economy, appearing in the form of Agriculture. Tricia’s Trader celebrates all that is Montana Ag by acknowledging the agencies, organizations and people who serve as the voice for their industry--not always unified, but absolutely passionate and devoted to their respective purposes. Since it’s impossible for the Ag Industry not to intertwine with utilization of this state’s natural resources, you’ll see features that discuss those industries as well. If you’ve ever wondered what all these groups do, what they stand for, who they support and why, you will never be handed a better opportunity to learn than in Tricia’s Trader over the course of 2015 and 2016, where we examine each faction in detail.

AG SERIES:

National Hay Association: Friends Beyond Hay

by Ali Everts

National Hay Association Second Vice President, Amy Freeburg has not missed an NHA convention since she and her husband joined the organization in 1981. That means she has attended 34 consecutive conventions. This alone, Freeburg said, is the strongest endorsement she could ever give to represent how important being a member of the NHA is to her.

“The first meeting I went to I wasn’t even thirty yet – I was one of the youngest members,” Freeburg said. “And on the way home from that first meeting, I said we are never missing one. There was one time we came close to not coming, but at the last minute drove straight cross-country to make it. I knew we couldn’t afford to miss it.”

Why are these conventions and being a member of one of the oldest organizations in America so imperative?

Freeburg’s answer is the networking and garnering of strong relationships with others from the industry around the country.

“You can’t put a price on what I have now,” Terry Button, NHA First Vice President, said. “I have friends beyond hay, you develop relationships that last a lifetime. I go visit members and they come visit me.”

Ultimately, Freeburg and Button understand that when you grow hay, you can’t control the weather. Good years and bad years are unpredictable. That is where being supported by the other members from around the nation when times are good or bad comes into play.

“The National Hay Association is the last free enterprise out there,” Button said, “because the government doesn’t control the weather. So, being part of the NHA benefits every member, every producer. With our solid network of people we don’t compromise on our quality when quantity is down; we just move the hay around to parts of the U.S. that need it.”

Button said it is truly fantastic when you as a farmer encounter some headaches and hiccups and are able to call up a face you know from the conventions

on the phone and problem solve.

“I realized at a young age that I was never going to be the biggest farmer, just the best because I was with the best people,” Button said.

Freeburg explains how being part of the hay business is much like having a grocery store. She as the grocery store owner knows that there are certain items that her customers will expect to see when they come into the store. She also knows they expect a certain quality of items. Every year she knows exactly what they are looking for, thus she has to stock her barn with these items for sure. When she doesn’t have what a customer is looking for, other members she has networked with and knows personally from multiple coffee dates or face-to-face conversation after meetings, can help her fill her barn or grocery store with exactly what her customers need.

“From our conventions and just k n o w i n g people in the industry I get a good sense of what the foraging 406-670-6551 or 406-698-9434 industry is going through around the country and it lets me makes better decisions for my business,” Freeburg said.

And the organization is only getting better, Freeburg said. From her first meeting she has watched the organization become more professional, more dedicated to an agenda that would help improve hay relations across the world, which has paralleled the maturation and changing of the agriculture business itself.

Now, she said, technology has made it so that they know exactly where the weak spots in their fields are, and have grown in the acreage that can be maintained and farmed.

This ability to maintain a good hay business was the prime goal for the original forming of the National Hay Association in the first place. Created in 1985, the NHA was a group of farmers coming together because the inconsistency of baling prices, sizes and exchanges from farmer to farmer didn’t cultivate an atmosphere that encouraged farmers to join the hay trade. Now, with hay becoming the leading agricultural product with value and an organization being able to voice their opinions on how it should be regulated, the trade environment has flourished.

Every convention for the NHA is now a learning experience located each year in a different place in the states. The spring convention for the NHA this coming year is March 3-4th, 2016 in South Padre Island, Texas and the annual convention is September 14-17th, 2016 in Pasco, Washington.

“Like I say to young members joining the NHA, stick with us and you’ll go places,” Freeburg said.

Those We Call “Veterans”

by Tricia A. Kimmel

Humankind, since its inception, spends unmentionable energy and effort in naming things. Adam was commissioned to name everything in the Garden; scientists developed an elaborate structure of binomial nomenclature to classify and name every living thing; the non-living things are labeled in the Periodic Table of Elements. Even the most invisible of particles has been given a name. When it comes to illness and health issues, assigning a title to the unknown takes away a bit of the fear that accompanies sickness. Just knowing what we’re dealing can be worth more than treasures. So, as the age-old question ponders, “What’s in a name?” The answer could be, “Everything.”

We have this day on the calendar that we’ve named “Veterans’ Day”. Less than a century ago it was titled “Armistice Day” in remembrance of the armistice ending World War I effective on the eleventh day of the eleventh month at 11:00 a.m. in 1918. President Wilson would later award the date its official title as such in 1919. In 1954, President Eisenhower modified the title to “Veterans’ Day”, allowing for recognition of ALL military veterans. The officially recognized date would shift slightly back and forth over the years, but it eventually came back to its rightful spot on November 11th that we honor now.

That being established, how exactly do we regard those individuals we call “veterans”? For some it’s a term that resonates an instant bond with others who have traveled a similar journey, almost familial. For others, it can call up feelings of honor, respect and gratitude for the freedoms we hold as Americans, though we tend to forget our gratitude a thousand times a day. For those who hold the title, however, it could quite possibly be one of only a few words in the English language without a clear definition. The sacrifice required of those individuals from the moment they enlist or are drafted is designed to break a man in order to make him stronger--physically, emotionally, and mentally. Sadly, the nature of the occupation leaves scores of men and women quite broken in ways that refuse to fit back together. To what do we owe these men and women who have offered their souls to their country only to have it returned to them in pieces?

There’s been lots of press lately about the Veterans Affairs division of the government, most of it discussing a perceived lack of incompetency toward helping our valued veterans on their home turf. Books could be written about the holes in the V.A., though that would need to be done by someone with much greater knowledge. It’s important to focus on things that work, and with Veterans’ Day approaching, we’ll take this moment to highlight just a handful of key organizations who are helping in ways that truly do work. These groups deserve an outpouring of financial and volunteer support for the simple reason that they offer the backing that our veterans need. So when you see these groups out fundraising or volunteering, remember, our Veterans have more than earned it.

Veterans of Foreign Wars VFW’s focus is on ensuring that vets are respected for their service, receive their earned entitlements (believe it or not, sometimes this doesn’t happen without encouragement), and are recognized for the sacrifices they and their families have made on behalf of their country.1 According to the organization, “The VFW traces its roots back to 1899 when veterans of the Spanish-American War (1898) and the Philippine Insurrection (1899-1902) founded local organizations to secure rights and benefits for their service: Many arrived home wounded or sick. There was no medical care or veterans’ pension for them, and they were left to care for themselves.

In their misery, some of these veterans banded together and formed organizations with what would become known as the Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States.

THANK YOU VETERANS! We salute yy! After chapters were formed in Ohio, Colorado and Pennsylvania, the movement quickly gained momentum. By 1915, membership grew to 5,000; by 1936, membership was almost 200,000.”

District of Columbia, and several foreign locations (Germany, Guam and Panama), members are relatives of those who have served in overseas combat. VFW Auxiliary, as you may have guessed, supports the Veterans of Foreign Wars, serving veterans and their families, active-duty military and their families, and spreading patriotism nationwide.

During the 2014-2015 Program Year, VFW Auxiliary members, provided $4.6 million dollars in monetary aid to veterans, active-duty military and their families, volunteered nearly 800,000 hours in VA Medical Centers, hospitals, nursing homes and veterans homes, made more than 131,000 legislative contacts to help pass or block important bills, awarded $146,000 in scholarships, worked with more than 285,000 youth, and distributed more than 332,000 American Flags.2 American Legion

Established in 1919, the American Legion is a patriotic veterans organization dedicated to mutual helpfulness. The nation’s largest wartime veterans service organization, hundreds of local American Legion programs and activities focus on strengthening communities across the nation through youth mentoring and sponsorship of community programs that advocate patriotism and honor, promote strong national security and devotion to fellow servicemembers and veterans.

The organization’s grass-roots involvement in legislation allows for great political influence, due to its honest advocacy for veterans. The American Legion’s success depends entirely on active membership, participation and volunteerism.

American Legion Auxiliary

The mission of the American Legion Auxiliary is to “support The American Legion and to honor the sacrifice of those who serve by enhancing the lives of our veterans, military, and their families, both at home and abroad. For God and Country, we advocate for veterans, educate our citizens, mentor youth, and promote patriotism, good citizenship, peace and security.”

To that extent, you’ll find the ALA purposes to support and advocate for veterans, active military and their families, foster patriotism and responsible citizenship, award scholarships and promote quality education and literacy, provide educational and leadership opportunities, provide meaningful volunteer opportunities in communities, and support the initiatives and programs of the American Legion.

A Word from a Montana Veteran

What does it mean to be a Veteran?

Well, after six years and countless successful combat missions under my belt, it is my opinion that a Veteran is someone who at a young age decided they were willing to put their life on the line to protect their great country, protect the people in it, and protect the freedom that everyone enjoys. When we join the military our friends and family are proud of our service. We walk a little taller and feel indestructible.

But something happens once you get deployed and return home. I can tell you only a Vet will understand what happens in combat. I can also tell you that you cannot force a Vet to talk about what happened to them on deployment. You will see and feel the change in a vet when they get home. Don’t make the mistake with a returning vet of trying to force information out of them. All you can really do is thank them for their service and offer an open ear if they ever need to talk. Remember, they willingly put their life on the line for YOU; respect them for that!

After my deployment to Iraq I returned home to my family. I knew there was something inside me that was off, but I kept telling myself to keep moving forward and it would pass. Due to a long list of events during my deployment and not being able to forget them and not seeking help, I chose to drink to forget. I promise you it did not make me forget, so I drank more. After becoming an alcoholic, going through many failed relationships and countless jobs, one day I hit rock bottom. And as I sat on the side of the road with my pistol in my hand thinking about ending the pain, I began to think about what my service meant to everyone I loved. And on that day five years after my return from Iraq I went to the VA (Veterans Affairs) to seek help.

The VA helped me with my struggle. They gave me tools to overcome my demons. They introduced me to the American Legion who gave me a grant to make my house payment while I was in treatment and waiting for my disability from the VA. But most of all they gave me hope. Six years has passed now since that day, and I am proud to say I haven’t had a drink in almost four years and I continue to seek help from the VA. I can promise you that I struggle with my demons every day, but I find the strength I need to move forward within my wife and kids.

This is my story. There are thousands of Vets out there struggling every day like I did, and 22 of them take their own lives every day because they feel alone and lose hope. I’m asking each and every one of you to help a Vet every day, not just on November 11th. Show your appreciation for the sacrifice they made for you. Any small act can make a difference.

Ramblings of a Conservative Cow Doctor

by Krayton Kerns, DVM, former State Rep. HD 58

The Death of the American Spirit

Have you ever cheered at a funeral?

Neither have I, which is why I found the audience reaction at the Democrat Presidential Debate in Las Vegas particularly disturbing. Before a crowd of 11 million viewers, five prospective presidents described how each were uniquely qualified to best crush the American spirit—all she has been and all she might someday could have been. Not a single political promise remotely advanced the principles upon which our nation was founded, yet the crowd went wild. Sadly, low information voters are about to voluntarily plunge America into a Marxist hell hole from which she will never return.

There was a time when we were a constitutional republic where the only function of government was to secure the rights granted us by God. Yet today, the masses believe we are a democracy where a show of hands can revoke or bequeath rights. There was a time

when American entrepreneurs were admired for their creativity, courage and willingness to work. Yet today, those who have risked, struggled and succeeded are attacked as greedy.

There was time when fathers and grandfathers led their families on the path of righteousness.

Yet today, government programs have become the head of a household free-for-all. There was a time when the right to self-defense was fundamental and every American was armed, prepared and willing to be their own first responder. Yet today, the land of the free and the home of the brave has been replaced by the gun-free zone of the pansy. There was a time America was a nation founded on religious freedom. Yet today, the Supreme Court has decided it is government which will decide what is preached from the pulpit. There was a time when only the Democrats worshiped the wealth redistribution principles of Marxism.

Yet today, many Republicans have so embraced the principles of compromise they also advance collectivism in exchange for pats on the head from Democrats and the press. There was a time when freedom fueled the American spirit, but those times are gone.

Voters seem eager to split our nation into the ruling class and the unwashed and if you do not know where you fit, trust me, you are the unwashed. Of what use is it to educate, train and challenge yourself if you can simply vote for free stuff without ever leaving your sofa?

The murder of the American spirit will numb the unwashed into a half-drunk and holloweyed shell of humanity just like the zombies of the socialist, democracies of Europe. We are about to let the blessings of liberty handed us by our forefathers slip through our fingers and that is as sugar-coated as I can make it. Have a nice day.

DEAR DAVE,

My wife and I just started your class, and we’re determined to get out of debt. At the same time, I’d like to do something to reduce the stress in her life. She’s a nurse, and she works three 12-hour night shifts a week. I’m a teacher, and I think we possibly could get by if she cut down to just two nights a week and worked part time. Would this be a good idea?

~Randy Dear Randy,

The truth is there’s no “possibly” involved. Even without knowing your income and other numbers, it all boils down to one simple question — can you live on that?

It’s a simple math thing. You need to look at your income and her income at 24 hours. Then, go over all of your bills and make a budget. If you can live on that, and it’s what she wants to do, you have the answer.

There’s no reason to do this immediately, either. I mean, we’re only talking about one day a week. Chances are it won’t change your lives that much. It probably won’t hurt anything if she works her regular hours through the end of the year. That way, you guys can keep looking at the numbers and decide on what’s best.

You obviously love your wife, Randy. But remember, this is up to her, too. Continue, with her, walking through the idea and the numbers. Make this decision together, so that you’ll both be happy and it will be a blessing in your lives!

DEAR DAVE,

I’ll be moving out to finish college next year, and I’m not sure how to find a good roommate. I know this isn’t a money question exactly, but I listen to your show and value your opinion.

Do you have any suggestions?

~Carson Dear Carson,

I’m always happy to try to help someone who wants to make good decisions in life. I say that what I do is about life and money, so this question definitely qualifies.

Finding a good roommate can be tough. You need to choose someone you like and get along with, but someone who is responsible and has a little maturity, too. Sometimes you’ll have different schedules, and this may lead to people working, studying or playing at all different times. You also have to be respectful of each other’s needs and values, and remember, too, that certain things about another person will eventually get on your nerves a little.

Spend a lot of time talking to people and try to find someone with whom you have a lot in common. You won’t always be on the same page with another person, but, if you take some time and try to choose wisely, it can be a fun and rewarding experience!
