NEMR CEO Gillespie Attends Great Northwest Days

PC Athletes Recognized as State Academic All Stars

NEMR’s CEO, Michele Gillespie, is pictured above with lawmakers and others representing Sullivan County during Great Northwest Days at the Capitol. The event brings residents from the nineteen-county region of Northwest Missouri, including multiple communities and representatives from business, education, healthcare, and government, to Jefferson City to educate legislators on Northwest Missouri counties and to discuss issues that are critical to the region. Gillespie talked with Lieutenant Governor Mike Kehoe, State Representatives Danny Busick and Greg Sharpe, and Missouri Senators Cindy O’Laughlin and Rusty Black. One key issue this year was infrastructure-a topic essential to the health and wealth of our region. Lawmakers were encouraged to invest in our rural region’s roads, bridges, water, and wastewater projects as well as broadband to connect the region to the state and the world. Other topics included education, workforce development, and community improvement. Learn more about Great Northwest Days at www.greatnorthwestday.com.

Missouri NRCS Announces Second Batching Date for FY 2024 Conservation Stewardship Program Funding

Columbia, MO, February 15, 2024 – The Missouri Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) is announcing March 15, 2024, as the second batching date for applications submitted for Fiscal Year 2024 funding for the Conservation Stewardship Program (CSP).

There are several funding streams includ-

ed in this batching date to best meet the various needs of producers statewide. They are: CSP IRA Classic (all ranking pools are ACT NOW) CSP Classic ACT NOW *Socially Disadvantaged Nonindustrial Private Forest Land *Socially Disadvantaged Ag Lands *Organic CSP Classic (all other

ranking pools not outlined above) “CSP is our nation’s largest conservation program in terms of participating land,” said Acting Assistant State Conservationist for Programs Lena Hoover. “These various funding streams are allowing us to get more money to more producers, and ultimately, continue to grow this program.”

NRCS uses batching dates for CSP and EQIP as a tool to review, approve and fund applications at several points throughout the year, as opposed to a singular deadline. This ensures that farmers, ranchers and forest landowners looking to enhance conservation practices on their land have several opportunities to receive funding during a fiscal

year. NRCS accepts applications on a continuous basis, and applications received after a batching date will automatically be considered during future funding cycles.

The Shepherd’s Call

by Dr. H. Wade Paris

Valentine’s Day -- It’s All About Love Valentine’s Day is one of my favorite holidays.

It ranks up there near my favorite holiday, Christmas. You may wonder about that. After all, Christmas is the day we celebrate Jesus’ birthday.

How could Valentine’s Day, an admittedly human creation, be almost as good as Christmas? It is quite simple---Valentine’s Day is about love, and God is love. (I John 4:8) There are many versions of the history of Valentine’s Day, some rather dark. There are equally as many customs for celebrating the day.

According to Google, the Japanese custom is that women give gifts to men on February 14, usually chocolate candy; but the men are expected to reciprocate a month later on March 14. Candy sales during the period skyrocket. It is a quaint custom, but doesn’t the expectation of reciprocation spoil the day? True love gives expecting nothing in return.

The focus of Valentine’s Day is obviously romantic. However, the practice of giving to express one’s love for another is ancient and inclusive. Just last week I received a Valentine card from a couple in whose

church I preached several times. In the Old Testament, for example, the sacrificial system was a way of expressing mankind’s love for God. Giving love gifts is a wholesome practice.

Some people say “I love you” easily and often.

The quiet, less communicative find speaking these words more difficult. May I offer a suggestion? If you find the words difficult to verbalize, give a gift (even a card will do) and say, “God loves you, and so do I.” If you find the words easy to speak, by all means give the gift and be creative.

Permit me one more suggestion, please. Do you know someone who will not be remembered this Valentine’s Day, e.g., a widow or widower, someone who is neglected? Take them a gift or a card. If they are surprised, simply say, “Happy Valentine. God Loves you!”

Please consider this column my Valentine gift to you. God loves you, and so do I. [Editor’s note: This column was received after the February 14 issue went to press, but it is worth remembering next Valentine’s Day.]

My Side Of The Desk Karen Bradshaw

In the past few years, doing some deep dives into the history of Putnam County, it became apparent what a significant role railroads played in the development of the

county. Several towns, such as Lucerne, Powersville and Worthington owe their existence to the railroads, which platted the towns and sold lots.

The railroads carried

goods and supplies to the towns along their routes that included everything from basic staples to precut house kits. Among other things, they hauled goods from cattle to Chicago stockyards and pickles to Keokuk. In addition to supporting the local economy, the rail lines served as a link to what was happening in the rest of the world,delivering daily city newspapers.

When the railways were pulled from most of the county, the towns lining those arteries of commerce were deeply impacted. If you want to know more about railroads, Gary Griggs will be giving a presentation at the Putnam County Historical Society Museum on Saturday, March 16, at 1:30 PM. Please plan to attend this free, educational program.

If you have questions, information and/or pictures, this is a prime opportunity to share those.

Refreshments will be served.

Another topic of interest that is in the process of being researched is that of the home kits mentioned earlier. Historical Society members

and some members of the public are interested in identifying those homes that are still in existence in our county and finding out more information about them. If you have any information or pictures, please share those by email at urep@nemr. net or stop by the museum on Wednesday morning between 9 AM and noon.

If you missed the opportunity to purchase one of the cemetery books put out by the Genealogy Society, they are all on sale now for $25.

The available volumes East End Cemeteries, Unionville Cemetery, West End Cemeteries, the 2014 Supplement and the 2015-2019 Supplement.

Copies are available at the public library and the museum.

Sunday, February 18, kicked off FFA Week.

Cow Trails

Riding my horse down a cow trail the other day I was once again intrigued by the way a 1,200-pound cow with four legs and three foot wide can make Kevin Collins a trail only about 10-12 inches wide. And a horse can pretty much walk in that same trail. But us two-footed humans have to walk one foot in front of the other to stay on the trail. How can that be?

NRCS

...

Continued from pg. 1

Department of Agriculture (USDA) increased the minimum annual payment for most agricultural producers participating in CSP from $1,500 to $4,000 starting in fiscal year 2024.

The increase addresses challenges faced by small scale, underserved and urban producers, and it improves equity in the program by making participation more financially beneficial for smaller operations. The new minimum payment is available for new and renewed CSP contracts.

Inflation Reduction Act and CSP Currently, an unprecedented amount of funding is available for CSP through the Inflation Reduction Act and Farm Bill. The Inflation Reduction Act provided $19.5 billion in additional funding for NRCS’ oversubscribed programs like CSP for five years.

Inflation Reduction Act funds are available to help producers adopt climate-smart practices.

NRCS recently announced it increased the number of Climate-Smart Agricultural and Forestry Mitigation Activities eligible for Inflation Reduction Act funding for fiscal year 2024 through CSP, the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP), and the Regional Conservation Partnership Program (RCPP).

To learn more, download the list of practices and a fact sheet.

ACT NOW Applications submitted for ACT NOW funding by this cutoff date will be assessed and ranked as soon as the applicant has made treatment decisions through a conservation plan.

Based on fund availability, eligible applications that meet a minimum threshold will be preapproved immediate-

ly, allowing the applicant to ACT NOW. Application assessments below the minimum threshold will be batched and funded in ranking order as funding allows.

Conservation Stewardship Program (CSP) CSP is the nation’s largest conservation program in terms of participating land and is designed to help agricultural producers have more robust conservation activities. This program is designed to help producers take their conservation activities to the next level.

Through CSP, agricultural producers and forest landowners earn payments for actively managing, maintaining, and expanding conservation activities like cover crops, ecologically-based pest management, buffer strips, and pollinator and beneficial insect habitat – all while maintaining active agricultural or forest production on their land.

CSP also encourages the adoption of new technologies and new management techniques such as irrigation monitoring, precision agriculture applications, improved grazing systems, onsite carbon storage and planting for high carbon sequestration rate, and new soil amendments to improve water quality.

How to Apply Applications can be submitted at local USDA offices. NRCS will conduct an assessment and rank all applications received by the batching date. NRCS will fund applications in ranking order as funding allows.

For more information about NRCS programs and assistance, visit www.mo.nrcs.usda.gov or contact Missouri Programs at (573) 876-0901 or MO.Programs@usda. gov.

Put your foot up gus or infection and treat Foot problems can quickly limit a farmer or farm worker’s ability to function and hinder productivity.

By UNMC, Central States Center for Agricultural Safety and Health, Omaha, NE The human foot has 26 bones, 33 joints, 107 ligaments, and 19 muscles. The human body has 206 bones, meaning 25% of our bones are in the feet.

“There are a lot of common complications or foot problems we see, especially within the farming and agriculture industry,” says Dr. Tony Merendino, DPM, clinical assistant professor at the University of Florida Department of Orthopedic Surgery and Sports Medicine. “Fungal infections are common issues we see along with bacterial infections, bunions, and hammertoe deformities.”

Fungi are living entities that move by spreading out or sending spores into the air. Many fungi live naturally in our bodies but can overgrow under certain circumstances. Fungal infections can affect skin, hair, nails, other mucous membranes, lungs, and other body parts. Anyone with a weakened immune system is at higher risk of fungal infection.

Fungal infection of the foot is typically known as athlete’s foot, a skin infection of the feet or toes, which can occur in different areas

of the foot. Fungal infection can also occur under the toenail. Athlete’s foot typically begins between the 4th and 5th toe space and can spread to the sides and sole. It may also spread to the heel.

A fungal infection may involve one toenail or multiple toenails. Most commonly, nail fungus affects the big toenail and the little toenail.

“Fungi love chronic moist and dark environments,” Meredino says.

“We are always exposed to fungi spores, which find their way into these nice little cozy, dark environments. With some moisture, the fungi spread and grow.”

Most nail fungi are secondary to foot fungi. When untreated, foot fungus tends to migrate to the toenails. Fungi under the nail can cause toenails to become thick and painful. The nails may separate from the nail bed. Without treatment, foot fungus can lead to secondary bacterial infections.

“Shoe gear is the most common culprit for a fungus,” Merendino says. “Our footwear may hold too much moisture and be too dark. Look for a shoe made of breathable material. Historically, leather has been one of the materials used for shoes. It’s water repellant, and you can improve it with oil or wax.”

Rubber or vinyl used for boots may be waterproof but aren’t breathable, which means feet

and breathable.

The most crucial fungal prevention step is keeping the feet dry and keeping socks and shoes clean and dry. Socks that wick away moisture to keep it away from the skin are helpful. Although cotton socks are commonly worn, they are heavy, unbreathable, and uncomfortable when wet. Wool socks may be the best option when feet are likely to become wet during work activity.

“Everybody wants cotton socks, but when you sweat, cotton will hold the moisture,” Merendino says. “We want material that the fluid moves through and evaporates away instead of staying next to your skin. If it doesn’t evaporate, it can cause fungal infection, leading to bacterial infection and many other problems. Wool socks absorb twice as much moisture and wick it away from your foot.”

Monday

of the foot poses a risk of developing a severe puncture wound that could potentially lead to bacterial infection or even am putation.

“One of my patients had a magnetic letter off the refrigerator in his shoe. He walked with it for two days that way, not knowing it was there,” Merendino says.

“He had wounds across all his toes. That’s comparable to an agricultural worker wearing a boot all day and getting something inside the boot without realizing it.”

Merendino saw one patient with a seed inside his sock, leading to a hole in his foot.

“These things can happen,” Merendino says. “I recommend inspecting your feet and shoes daily. Don’t assume nothing is sticking into your foot.

Those working in agriculture should especially look for rocks and peb-

Tuesday

against that mirror daily and inspect it.”

The biomechanics of feet are complex as energy is transferred from the ground to the body and back to the ground.

In a normal foot, energy expenditure is minimized, and stress on the foot bones is reduced.

Abnormal biomechanics contribute to problems that affect the foot and ankle. Anyone with a foot deformity, such as hammertoes, will likely encounter foot issues when regularly working on uneven terrain and in harsh weather conditions.

Although feet don’t continue to grow as we age, foot structure can change as arches grow flat. Having an annual foot examination may help avoid structural issues.

“It won’t matter how great your shoe is if you have pain after just 30 minutes of walking,”

the problem immediately. Everyone tends to soak in warm water and Epsom salts. However, a cup or two of white vinegar is better. It acts as an astringent and antibiotic and helps kill bacteria.

Whatever the issue is, make sure you treat it right away. If it progresses to the point of needing surgical treatment, that may permanently limit your abilities.

“Anyone with diabetes, neuropathy, or some type of pathology should inspect their feet daily,” Merendino says. “Working outside on uneven terrain daily greatly affects our feet. Our feet are a unique part of our body, and it’s important to understand how to keep them healthy.”

Back From Camp and Off to the Mountains February 17th, 2024 Missions trip - February 17th-24th Praise the Lord for a wonderful week of missionary camp with my co-workers last week!

In 2 hours (about 3 a.m.

Saturday, the 17th) a group of over twenty of us will travel to the mountain town of Huancayo. We are going on a missions trip to help missionaries Samuel and Fiorella Vega and their church plant. Among other ministries, we will be evangelizing in the mornings, having a VBS in the afternoons, and serving in their local church ministries. We would greatly appreciate your prayers for safety in travels, for good health in the altitude, for a good spirit among our team, and for God to use us as we teach and preach His Word. We trust we can be a help and encourage-

ment to the missionary family, their church, and their community.

On Tuesday and Wednesday of this week, I was stomach sick with a fever. I’m still a little puny, but I am very thankful to God for healing me quickly, so I could make preparations and now be able to go on this trip. I’d like to ask special prayer for my physical strength this week, as it won’t be an easy trip with the curvy mountain roads and we have very busy days.

Also, please pray for the Bible lessons I will teach the children and the S.S. teacher training class on child evangelism on Thursday. May God be glorified.

Thank you for your prayers and support!

Have a great week.

In His love that will not let us go, Amy

Bombs Away

By John Grimaldi, Contributing Editor, The Association for Mature American Citizent It’s been nearly 80 years since the end of World War II but unexploded bombs from that era are still a threat—not just in what was war-torn Europe but here at home as well. A 1,000-pound bomb from that era was uncovered recently at a construction site in Florida. During the war, the site was the home of a wartime military airfield that is now the Brooksville-Tampa Bay Regional Airport where airmen were trained to fly B-17 Flying Fortresses and B-24 Liberators. As Hernando County Sheriff Al Nienhuis put it “because it is so rusted and decayed, there’s certainly no way of telling whether it’s a live munition or inert.” Fortunately, of course, it was inert.

House Passes Tax Credit Package to Boost Childcare in Missouri

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. – The Missouri House has swiftly moved to pass House Bill 1488, sponsored by State Representative Brenda Shields. The bill, which received overwhelming support with a vote of 113-39, introduces a comprehensive tax credit package aimed at promoting development of additional childcare resources to serve Missouri families.

Missouri is currently facing a shortage of childcare resources, with only one available childcare slot for every three children under the age of five. Recognizing the seriousness of the issue, Representative Shields emphasized that the rising cost of childcare has become a major obstacle for many families and is a significant factor influencing parents’ decisions to stay home rather than rejoin the workforce.

“Missouri has lost

more than $1.3 billion annually due to childcare shortages, including $286 million in potential tax revenue. This plan serves as an innovative solution, fostering collaboration between businesses, parents, and government to ensure quality, affordable childcare is accessible statewide,” Representative Shields, R-St. Joseph, stated. “The availability of childcare is an important for the future of state, and passing this legislation brings us one step closer to cultivating a reliable workforce, anchored by a system of childcare that is both dependable and economically feasible.”

“Addressing the childcare shortages is pivotal for Missouri’s prosperity. With the passage of HB 1488, we’re making a strategic investment in our state’s families,” House Speaker Dean Plocher, R-St. Louis,

said. “These targeted tax credits not only alleviate immediate challenges but also promote the development of additional childcare resources either associated through Missourians’ employment or through an independent provider. By championing affordable childcare, we empower families and bolster our workforce, ensuring a brighter and more resilient Missouri.”

Some of the key provisions of HB 1488 are as follows: Child Care Contribution Tax Credit Act (Effective: Jan 1, 2025, to Dec 31, 2030): • Taxpayers can claim a 75% tax credit against state liability for childcare contributions.

• Credit range: $100 to $200,000 per year.

• Eligible donations must directly support childcare for children aged 12 or younger.

Museum Hosts Valentine’s Dinner

• Non-refundable tax credits capped at $20 million annually, with a 15% increase for contributions in “childcare deserts.”

Employer Provided Child Care Assistance Tax Credit Act (Effective: Jan 1, 2025, to Dec 31, 2030): • Taxpayers with two or more employees can claim a 30% tax credit for childcare expenditures.

• Maximum credit: $200,000 per taxpayer per year.

• Applicable to corporations, certain charitable organizations, and individuals subject to state income tax.

• Nonprofit 501(c) (3) organizations would be eligible for a refund of its tax credit • Non-refundable tax credits capped at $20 million annually, with a 15% increase for contributions in “childcare deserts.”

Child Care Providers Tax Credit Act (Effective: Jan 1, 2025, to Dec 31, 2030): • Childcare providers with three or more employees can claim a tax credit for withholding tax and up to 30% of capital expenditures so long as the employees work a minimum of three months for an average of 10 hours each • No credit for capital expenditures under $1,000.

• Maximum tax

credit: $200,000 per provider per year.

• Non-refundable tax credits with excess credits carried back or forward up to five tax years.

• Capped at $20 million annually, with a 15% increase for contributions in “childcare deserts.”

The tax credits, estimated to cost up to $70 million, would sunset after six years, allowing lawmakers to assess its impact and make necessary adjustments.

Missouri anticipates that this tax credit package will not only address the immediate childcare

were purchased when the banks and post Unionville City Council Addresses Full Agenda which 13 years ago. He added office were closed. FolThe regularly scheduled meeting of the Unionville City Council was called to order

by Mayor Charley Bill Pittman at 5:30 PM on Thursday, February 15, 2024, with all aldermen [Gary Davis, Kellie Purdy, Eric Lutz and Jason Hill] in attendance.

Jill Payne, PC Health Dept., requested permission for the Health Department to block off the south and east sides of the Unionville square for a bicycle rodeo the department is planning later this year. She also requested permission to utilize the Unionville Reservoir for a planned mother and son outing that will include fishing and canoeing. The council had no objections to either request.

Andrew McCollom, USDI, handed out maps and discussed what work has been done and what is planned. He told the council that USDI is on year five of the 10-year plan. He informed the council that this is the last year for the city’s contract and he would like to simplify the contract utilizing a flat rate for a lot of items instead of the schedule of fees.

Missouri’s Third District Danny Busick, State Representative

Alcohol Sales Identity Security Technology has it positives and negatives.

One of the positives of technology is in the field of identifying individuals. Many of us have cell phone that we can limit someone else’s access, by locking them. Those phones can be unlocked and accessed by a finger print or facial recognition. These features are very secure and cannot be easily overridden. This same principal could be used for alcohol sales.

The law in Missouri doesn’t allow the use of this type of technology to identify individuals as legal purchasers of alcohol. HB2499 allows the use of palm print identification system to identify those who are old enough to purchase alcohol. This would be a voluntary system for venders. It most cases it will be voluntary for the purchaser. It would allow a purchaser of alcohol to sign up for this service by registering his palm print and his credentials. Then when that person went to purchase alcohol they would simply put their palm on the reader. Their picture and

credentials would appear on a monitor for the attendant to check identity and allow the purchase to take place. This system would be harder to fool than a picture I.D. system. It also would allow much faster service at events where alcohol is served, such as sporting events. Since it is a voluntary system I think this is a great idea. I think it could be very useful in keeping minors from making illegal purchases of alcohol.

Due to the recent passage of Amendment 1 on November 6, 2018, please be advised that any communications or documents received by this office that were previously treated as confidential may now be subject to public disclosure pursuant to any request made under the Missouri Sunshine Law.

Joe’s Bits and Pieces

Joe Koenen, AgriBusiness Specialist (Mo Extension Ret.) FENCE ISSUES IN LOCAL OPTION COUNTIES Missouri has two (2) different fence laws and if you read this on a regular basis, you already know that. However, that can cause landowners in these counties lots of troubles as I will address today.

Fence issues in local option counties begin with attorneys, many of whom do not know there are 2 laws depending on where your land is located. I have been told in the last week by 3 people who contacted me that their neighboring landowners were told “if they did not own livestock, they did not need to fence or help pay for the fence”. This is not the law in local option counties as both landowners are responsible in the law. On lawyer told one of the people he could look the law up and get back to them in 2 months or so if needed. One of the few things you can do is tell the neighbor to go to Chapter 272.210 and beyond to see the law in an option county (there are 19 in Missouri). In my 35 plus years involved with this topic, I have very few lawyers who know the option law or want to for that matter.

You can also refer guide 810 on the Missouri extension website to either neighbors or lawyers to make sure they know the law. Do not assume they do! A second issue I get often is what can I do if they will not help.

My first thought is to talk to them directly and explain. Since that may not work, you must send them a 90-day notice

before doing anything yourself. I have an example letter I can email you.

I would strongly suggest you send that via registered mail to have them sign. If they agree to help with the fence, put something in writing so they cannot back out later on (it happens). You have 2 legal options: (1) small claims court if it is under $5,000 and go without a lawyer or (2) file a suit and take them to court with a knowledgeable lawyer.

Finally, the option law applies to many counties in this area but NOT Adair or Clark.

Please keep in mind this is for educational purposes and does not constitute legal advice. If you have any questions, you can contact me at koenenjoe@outlook.com or (660) 626-6923 for any questions related to this.

REMINDERS Your county extension office should have tree order forms from the Missouri Department of Conservation now as well as the Putnam County SWCD office.

They are “first come, first served” so do not delay to get them if you are interested.

Several of our offices, Putnam and Sullivan County included, are hiring. Putnam is hiring a Youth Program Associate/Office Manager position that you can find on the Face Book page or online at Career opportunities with MU Extension | MU Extension (missouri.edu). Check it out!
