Winter Weather Preparedness Week is Nov. 4 – 8
Missourians reminded to prepare for cold and potentially dangerous weather this winter
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. – Despite last week’s mild temperatures, winter – and the snow, sleet and ice that come along with it – is just around the corner. To help Missourians prepare and stay safe during the winter months, the State Emergency Management Agency (SEMA)
and National Weather Serivce (NWS) are partnering to promote Nov. 4 – 8, 2024, as Winter Weather Preparedness Week in Missouri.
“As cold weather approaches, we encourage all Missourians to take time to plan ahead and prioritize safety,” SEMA Director Jim Remillard said. “Being prepared is always the best way to protect yourself and your families. Be sure
you have emergency kits ready, understand the risks of prolonged exposure to the cold and review additional steps you can take to stay safe at home and on the road.”
SEMA and NWS Forecast Offices serving Missouri will be sharing winter weather safety messaging via social me-

The Missouri Department of Natural Resources’ Water Resources Center is seeking public comment on a newly developed publication designed to help inform Missouri landowners about working in or near streams on their properties. The publication contains information about bank stabilization techniques and permitting, instream gravel excavation, technical and financial assistance, and other related topics. It also contains links to a variety of useful resources and contact information for several relevant organizations. The information in the guide applies to all Missouri landowners, but it may be especially interesting to farmers or other rural landowners facing excessive streambank erosion or stream management challenges. Though the guide seeks to provide information and resources about permitting and various types of stabilization structures, it is not a definitive resource for regulatory guidance, nor an engineering design resource, and should not be used as such. The department invites the public to review and offer written comments on the proposed publication until 5 p.m., Nov. 22, 2024. The public notice webpage can be found here. Written comments may be submitted by mail to Missouri Department of Natural Resources, Water Resources Center, ATTN: Noah Cadwell, PO Box 176, Jefferson City, MO 65102, or by email to Noah.Cadwell@dnr.mo.gov.

of Labor Investigation into Worker’s Fatal Grain Engulfment Finds Missouri Farm Cooperative Lacked Adequate Rescue Equipment
MFA Inc. faces $241,887 in proposed penalties, cited for Six violations
HAMILTON, MO
‒ A Missouri grain cooperative could have prevented an employee’s fatal engulfment in a storage bin in May 2024 had it followed federal workplace safety requirements, the U.S. Department of Labor determined.
Responding to the employer’s report of a worker fatality, investigators with the department’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration learned that three employees of MFA Inc., operating as MFA Rail Car, were removing corn screenings – comprised of clumps of corn dust – from a bin at the company’s Hamilton facility. One worker entered the bin to clear screenings and became engulfed when the screenings shifted. Another worker tried to rescue his co-worker but was engulfed to his waist before being rescued by first responders from the local fire department.
OSHA found the Columbia grain cooperative had not completed a required bin entry permit before allowing the worker inside. Additionally, the conveyor was running with the bin’s bottom gate open, increasing the risk of product shifting and the risk of engulfment. The employer also lacked adequate rescue equipment, failed to ensure the worker wore a harness and lifeline and did not follow other required safety procedures before entering the bin.
“By neglecting basic safety standards, MFA Rail Car put their workers at serious risk,” said OSHA Area Director Karena Lorek in Kansas City, Missouri. “Through its outreach and alliance efforts, OSHA works closely with industry partners to educate employers and workers about the critical importance of grain bin safety and reminds all employers to never become complacent in this highly hazardous industry.”
Following its inspection, OSHA cited MFA Inc. for one willful violation and five serious violations and proposed penalties of $241,887. Specifically, the agency identified the following safety failures:
Lacking adequate rescue equipment on site when workers entered bins.
Failing to protect employees from falls on walking working surfaces.
Not verifying that mechanical, electrical, hydraulic and pneumatic equipment inside grain storage structures were deenergized, locked out and tagged to prevent operation when workers entered.
Allowing workers to enter a bin without completing the permit process.
Not testing the bin’s atmosphere before workers entered.
Not providing a harness and lifeline positioned to prevent the employee from sinking deeper than waist-deep in the grain.
Founded in 1914, MFA Inc. is a regional
farm supply and marketing cooperative based in Columbia that serves more than 45,000 farmers and owners in Missouri and nearby states.
Through its alliance program, OSHA has partnered with the Grain Handling Safety Coalition, Grain Elevator and Processing Society and National Grain and Feed Association to address hazards, reduce risks and improve safety and health management systems to help prevent life-altering injuries and fatalities.
OSHA also has a re-
gional emphasis program for grain handling facilities in Kansas, Missouri and Nebraska to focus outreach and enforcement efforts on making employers and workers aware of hazards in the industry.
The company has 15 business days from receipt of the citations and penalties to comply, request an informal conference with OSHA’s area director, or contest the findings before the independent Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission.
EPA Updates Ventilation Guidance to Prevent the Spread of Respiratory Viruses at Home, School, and Work
LENEXA, KAN. (NOV. 1, 2024) – The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has released updated guidance on indoor air quality strategies for preventing the spread of common respiratory viruses in homes, schools, offices, and commercial buildings. EPA’s updated guidance reflects the latest science on indoor air quality strategies and recent ventilation recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
“This updated guidance will be a valuable tool in protecting against the spread of common airborne respiratory viruses indoors, where we spend about 90% of our time,” said Joseph Goffman, Assistant Administrator for EPA’s Office of Air and Radiation. “In addition to immunizations, handwashing, and other key preventive measures, taking action to promote healthier indoor air helps to prevent the spread of respiratory viruses indoors.”
The updated guidance outlines how to implement ventilation strategies, such as opening doors and windows, as part of a multi-layered approach to prevent the spread of respiratory viruses indoors. The approach includes filtration improvements, such as upgrading the filter in a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning system; using a portable air cleaner; running fans to
circulate air indoors; and operating exhaust, window, and attic fans to further reduce the amount of virus particles in the air. This multi-layered approach also addresses the use of air treatment technologies, administrative controls, and cleaning and disinfection practices. The updated guidance also outlines specific strategies and considerations for public indoor spaces, such as schools, offices, and commercial buildings.

Most people are aware that outdoor air pollution can impact their health, but indoor air pollution can also have significant and harmful health effects. Indoor Air Quality refers to the air quality within and around buildings and structures, especially as it relates to the health and comfort of building occupants. Indoor air quality affects everyone, especially the most vulnerable, including children, the elderly, and people with health conditions like asthma and heart disease.
Understanding and controlling common pollutants indoors can help reduce your risk of indoor health concerns.

The Butterfly and the Wasp
The July/August 2020 issue of Reader’s Digest tells this story: Pamela, a veterinarian, was visiting her aunt when they observed a butterfly flying erratically. Pamela gently captured the creature and learned a portion of a wing was missing. With the help of her aunt, Pamela fashioned a prosthesis from a paper napkin and super glue. The wounded insect fluttered out an open window. While congratulating themselves, the butterfly flew back into the room and landed on Pamela’s heart.
Sometime after reading that story, I observed a big red wasp crawling around on our deck. Its left wing was damaged or missing. I thought, “I’ll bet that veterinarian would not repair the wing of this wasp. It would surely sting her, and that hurts.” I know from personal experience. It is one thing to help a beautiful, “thankful” butterfly
but quite another matter to fool with an ugly, angry wasp.
Still later, I thought, “This whole experience reminds me of the cross. We can understand somewhat why Jesus would suffer and die for the beautiful and thankful, but even for sinners? For those who sting? Yet, Jesus died for the just and the unjust, for those who love Him and those who hate Him.” Don’t take my word for it. The Bible says so, “For Christ also suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God.” (I Peter 3:18) Check it out.
I took funds from my own resources to help a transient. At a pastor’s meeting later, I learned the man had visited several other pastors with the same, sad story. We had been stung. My desire is to be like Jesus; but even as I write, I realize I have a long way to go. God help me, please!

Dear Friend,
What part of illegal immigration do some people not understand? It’s ILLEGAL—and it’s illegal for good reason.
America is a nation of laws. We can’t be a nation of laws if we don’t have a secure border, and when those laws aren’t enforced, the consequences are severe.
These consequences aren’t just felt in Texas, California, New Mexico, and Arizona. We’re seeing the effects all across the country, thanks to the Biden-Harris Administration’s irresponsible open border policies. Even in Missouri, we’re seeing illegal immigrants drive down wages and drive up housing costs. Worst of all, the open border is allowing criminals, gang members, and illicit drugs to flood into our communities. It seems like there’s rarely a day where we aren’t reading about another American murdered by an illegal immigrant or another child killed by a fentanyl overdose.
still spending billions to hold up the construction of the border wall.
The Biden-Harris administration actually acknowledges that the border is a mess, yet they want to first grant amnesty to people who already broke the law before doing anything about it. Hogwash. We can enforce the laws on the books without granting citizenship to a whole bunch of folks who decided they didn’t want to go through the legal process. That’s not fair to those who have come here legally.
If someone wants to be a citizen of the United States, there’s a legal way to make that happen. It’s not easy and it’s not quick, but that’s the price to be a citizen of the greatest country in the world.

Back in the Day
The Biden-Harris Administration has intentionally gotten rid of strong border policies and the result has been exactly what you would expect. The border is in chaos and our communities are the ones paying the price. It doesn’t take some massive amnesty program to solve the border crisis. We have to finish the wall, secure our border, and start enforcing our laws once again.

Protect against frostbite and hypothermia by wearing warm, loose-fitting clothing in several layers. Avoid alcohol, limit time spent outdoors in frigid temperatures and stay indoors if possible. Find more information on hypothermia and nearby warming center locations on the DHSS website at health. mo.gov/living/healthcondiseases/hypothermia/.
Road safety is also a concern during the winter months. According to preliminary results provided by the Missouri State Highway Patrol, there were more than 3,800 vehicle crashes in Missouri in 2023 during periods of snow, sleet, hail or ice, which resulted in 1,198 injuries and 22 deaths.
*Avoid driving when conditions could deteriorate. Postpone travel if possible. If driving is absolutely necessary, keep your gas tank more than half full and your cell phone charged. Save emergency numbers for fast dialing. Check road conditions in advance on the Missouri Department of Transportation’s Traveler Map at traveler. modot.org/map/. Allow extra time, expect delays, reduce speed and increase following distance. If your vehicle breaks down or slides off the road, stay in the vehicle and call for help.
*Make sure alternate heat and power sources such as fireplaces, woodstoves, kerosene heaters and generators function properly. These sources can be dangerous and must be regularly maintained and operated. Keep the correct fuel for each source on hand in a safe location. Proper ventilation is essential. Properly install carbon monoxide detectors throughout your home. Only operate generators outdoors.

Even if not directly involved in a crash, an accident blocking the roadway could cause other drivers to be stranded for hours. Avoiding non-essential travel during winter storms is one of the best ways to reduce the chance of becoming stranded or involved in a crash. It also allows snow removal crews to clear the roads faster and first responders to get to crashes more quickly.
Missourians should consider these winter weather preparedness tips:
*Create a family emergency plan and emergency kit. Emergency supplies should
*Remember space heaters are potentially deadly when misused. Space heaters account for approximately onethird of home heating fires and 80 percent of home heating fire deaths. Supplemental heating sources like these should be turned off when leaving a room or going to bed. Keep anything that can burn at least three feet from heating equipment.

“I am pleased Missourians will continue to have more choices for plan year 2025,” said Chlora Lindley-Myers, Director of the Department of Commerce and Insurance. “In 2025, we will have ten insurance companies offering individual market coverage in the state, and with these options, our department encourages consumers to shop carefully for health insurance coverage.”
Beginning in 2025, every county in Missouri will have at least two insurance companies offering health plans in the individual market. This represents an important change, ensuring choices for Missourians, particularly in the rural parts of the state.
Well over half of Missouri’s counties now have five or more insurance companies offering coverage in the individual market (71 out of 115). Nearly a third of the counties in the state have six or more companies offering coverage
(37 of 115). The 115 jurisdictions include 114 counties plus the City of St. Louis.
“Most companies have filed rates that either remain steady, with average increases of less than 1% or have filed decreases in their rates,” said Lindley-Myers. “Overall, the rates finalized today show stabilization in the individual health insurance market, with the highest average rate increases equal to or just below medical cost inflation trends.”
Missourians can find more information about the rate review process and review rate information on DCI’s website at insurance.mo.gov/ consumers/health/index.

Annual open enrollment for health insurance coverage in 2025 begins November 1, 2024. For coverage to start January 1, 2025, consumers must enroll or change their plan by December 15, 2024. Consumers that miss the December 15th deadline have until January 15, 2025, to enroll; however, coverage will not begin until February 1, 2025, for consumers who enroll after December 15, 2024.
Shopping for health insurance can be complicated. DCI offers the following tips to help make the process a little easier: Consider more than just cost when choosing a health plan. It’s important to understand what
services the policy will cover, the costs you’ll be responsible for, and your current and potential future health care needs, from anticipated surgeries to prescription drugs.
Review and compare the costs associated with each health plan, including all of the outof-pocket costs – premiums, deductibles, copays, and co-insurance amounts.
Talk to your health care providers about their plan network participation. A health carrier’s provider directory provides a snapshot in time of the plan’s network. Talking directly to your healthcare providers allows you to stay up to date about your provider’s current and future participation in a particular plan’s network.
Be wary of advertisements that tout low-cost or no cost health coverage and ask questions about the type of policy before you buy. If it sounds too good to be true, it likely is.
Talk with a trusted insurance agent or other assister (like a navigator or a certified application counselor) for more specific information about policies and coverage.
Use good privacy protection practices and be vigilant about protecting your personal information:
Use strong passwords and change them regularly.
Safeguard your devices by ensuring their operating systems are up to date.
Be cautious of unsolicited emails, phone calls, or text messages requesting your personal or financial information.
When asked for personal information, whether online or over the phone, think twice about why the information is needed, who will use it, and how it will be used. If you have questions, ask them!
You can check DCI’s Health Insurance Shopping Tool for additional tips to find the policy that meets your needs.
For any insurance questions, or to verify whether a producer or assister is licensed, Missouri consumers can call DCI’s Insurance Consumer Hotline at 800-726-7390 or visit insurance.mo.gov/consumers/.
DCI is charged with protecting Missouri consumers through oversight of the insurance industry, banks, credit unions, utilities, and various professional licensees operating in the state. For more information about the department, please visit our website at dci.mo.gov.
It’s About the Flittermouse
It’s Bat Week and the Bureau of Land Management is posting photos of the critters and asking the public to vote for the cutest one. Among the contestants is a big-eared bat by the name of Sir Flaps-A-Lot and a grayish white bat known as Hoary Potter. Bureau wildlife technician Emma Busk notes that “there’s a lot of
fear and misconceptions around bats.” She says people have a tendency of associating them with rabies. But, in fact, she says: less than 1% of all bat populations actually carry rabies, and the bat-to-human disease transmission is actually really low.” By the way, in the old world a bat was known as a “flittermouse.”

BOI REPORTING SYSTEM
I had a farmer I have worked with for many years tell me I needed to make several of you aware of a new obligation you must do before the end of this year. I mentioned this last year but it is mandatory before the beginning of 2025. The Beneficial Ownership Information or BOI requires most domestic and foreign entities doing business in the United States to report to the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network. It is designed to enhance transparency and prevent illicit activities. Corporations and LLC’s or LLP’s doing business in the US are required to do this (Farm entities included). Any other entities that are required to file with a governmental body (partnerships) are included. A senior company representative such as a director or president must sign and verify the report.
You must go to the Financial Crimes Enforcement Website to file a report. Required information includes: name, birthdate, address, a unique identifying number, and issuing jurisdiction. Documents must be provided of the issuing jurisdiction. Anyone that has at least a 25 percent ownership must be included.
I know that there are several farm entities in these counties that must report under these rules. While it is another job, it is critical to complete
this before the end of the year. If you have the documentation ready, it is not a long process. The report can be found at United States Department of the Treasury Financial Crimes Enforcement Network | FinCEN.gov. It is not an IRS program but is just as critical that you complete this before 1/1/2025 if you have not yet. If you have some individual questions about it, you can contact me at koenenjoe@outlook.edu or (660) 626-6923.
TAX FORMS
I am pleased to tell you that the extension office will again have tax information forms available in the future. They will cost 75 cents a page as in the past. The office will have 1099NEC’s, 1099MISC’s, W-2 and W-3 forms among some others. They should arrive in a month or so but I will let you know when.
REMINDERS
Thanks again to all those who supported the Market on the Square in 2024, sellers and buyers alike. Do not forget to let your mayor and city council and leaders how valuable it is to Unionville and other communities. If you have not been to the Putnam County Extension Office recently, you need to stop by or call. Raylene Ray is the Office Manager and does a great job and is very personal. Please check it out.
THOUGHT: “Work hard, dream big, and believe in yourself”!
11th, 2024 in observance of Veterans Day! NOTICE ALL Putnam County Courthouse Offices and License Bureau will be closed on Monday, May 30th, 2022 in observance of Memorial Day.

Health effects from indoor air pollutants may be experienced soon after exposure or, possibly, years later. Indoor pollution sources that release gases or particles into the air are the primary cause of indoor air quality problems. Inadequate ventilation can increase indoor pollutant levels by not bringing in enough outdoor air to dilute emissions from indoor sources and not carrying indoor air pollutants out of the area.
Respiratory viruses can spread more easily indoors than outdoors since the viral concentration can build up indoors and people are closer to each other. Each year, respiratory viruses are responsible for millions of illnesses and thousands of hospitalizations and deaths in the United States. In addition to the virus that causes COVID-19, there are many other types of airborne respiratory viruses, including influenza (flu) and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), that
can spread more easily indoors than outdoors. Ventilation and filtration are important components of a multilayered approach for reducing the spread of respiratory viruses indoors. Increasing the amount of outdoor air coming indoors is one of the most important ways to reduce the likelihood that viruses are spread. When it is challenging to enhance the ventilation to a space, consider cleaning or treating the air to reduce virus particles – through filters in your heating, ventilation and air conditioning system or using portable air cleaning devices. On their own, these individual IAQ strategies are not likely to be sufficient for preventing the spread of respiratory viruses indoors, making it essential to implement each of them in conjunction with other core preventive actions for respiratory viruses recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
