Farmers’ Union chapter invites public to Right to Harm screening The South Central and Iowa-Grant chapters of Wisconsin Farmers Union will present a free showing of Right to Harm, a film that shows the impact of factory farming on communities throughout the United States. The screening will be at 7 p.m. on Sunday, Feb. 16 at Brix Cider, 119 S. 2nd St., Mt. Horeb.

Through the riveting stories of five rural communicates, Right to Harm exposes the devastating public health

impact that factory farming has on many disadvantaged citizens across the country. Filmed across the U.S., the documentary chronicles issues arising around industrial animal agriculture.

Fed up with lack of regulation, these disenfranchised citizens band together to demand justice from their legislators.

The film features WFU members Mary Dougherty and Lynn Utesch, who share their experiences as champi-

ons of conservation and family farms.

Also featured is agricultural economist John Ikerd, who abandoned industry beliefs after a 14-year career as a livestock marketing specialist. After the farm crisis of the 1980s he realized, “The farmers who were in the biggest trouble, were the ones doing the things we so-called experts were telling them to do.”

At the 89th WFU State Convention Jan. 31-Feb. 2 in Rothschild, members

of the grassroots family farm organization set Oversight of Large Livestock Facilities and Concentration in the Agriculture Industry as two special orders of business for 2020.

“State standards under ATCP 51 regarding acceptance, regulation, and enforcement of CAFOs have failed to enable towns and counties to protect their people, land, water, and health,” said WFU Executive Director Julie Keown-Bomar. “Our members have

Farm Service Agency announces disaster relief payments The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Farm Service Agency (FSA) in Rock County announced payments are now available to eligible producers who lost stored commodities due to natural disaster in 2018 or 2019.

The On-Farm Storage Loss Program (OFSLP) was authorized by the Additional Supplemental Appropriations for Disaster Relief Act of 2019.

Administered by FSA, OFSLP provides payments to eligible producers in impacted counties who suffered uncompensated losses of harvested commodities including grains, oilseeds, and hay stored in on-farm structures.

For producers to receive payment, the losses must be directly related to an eli-

gible disaster event such as hurricanes, floods, tornadoes, typhoons, volcanic activity, snowstorms, and wildfires that occurred during 2018 and/or 2019.

“There are producers throughout the country who had their on-farm storage structures damaged or destroyed by natural disasters during 2018 and 2019,” said Rock County Acting County Executive Director, Kristin Loock. “This disaster recovery program pays eligible producers who lost their on-farm stored commodities. We encourage producers who suffered a loss to contact our office for program information and application.”

To be eligible for OFSLP, the farm storage structure must be located on

the farm, not used for commercial storage, and would have, under normal circumstances, maintained the quality of the commodity. Commodities stored in warehouses are not eligible for OFSLP. Programs payments are made for the loss of the stored commodity and not for the loss of the structure itself. Additionally, this program is only available in certain counties, including Rock County.

Commodities eligible for OFSLP include: barley, canola, chickpeas (large and small), corn, cotton, crambe, dry peas, flaxseed, grain sorghum, hay (alfalfa and all-hay), lentils, mustard seed, oats, peanuts, rapeseed, rice, safflower seed, sesame seed, soybeans,

sunflower seed and wheat.

FSA uses a national payment rate per commodity which is based on market or harvest prices. Payments will be calculated using a 75 percent factored FSA payment rate multiplied by the quantity lost while stored.

OFSLP has a payment limitation of $125,000 per entity. Adjusted Gross Income does not apply to OFSLP and an acreage report is not required for this program.

For specific commodity payment rates, to submit an application, or for additional program information, contact your local USDA Service Center.

THE PROFESSIONALS

shown a clear desire to educate other farmers and citizens around this issue and to restore local control to communities. We recognize that there are CAFOs that are family-scale farms, and they are not a target of this film.

Instead it looks at the extremely large, industrial scale model that is sweeping the nation and threatening our natural resources, as well as the livelihood of the family farm.”

Filmmakers Matt Wechsler and Annie Speicher skillfully weave together five stories that span eight states from the Southwest to the Midwest to the Eastern Shore. Farmers, mothers, scientists and politicians share intimate stories of how their lives were forever changed by factory farming. Right to Harm is an enlightening exploration that questions whether citizens are entitled to clean air and water, while examining the political issues that stand in the way of nationwide reform.

The Independent-Register - Wednesday, Feb. 12, 2020 • 3 Jim Leverich gives a presentation at last year’s annual meeting of the Farmers of the Sugar River at the Albany Lions Club in Albany. The annual meeting is a chance for farmers to network with neighbors, learn tips and tricks from other farmers to make no-till and cover crops work better on their fields, and to find out how the producer-led group can help them achieve their goals.

Farmers of the Sugar River plan annual meeting in Albany

DISTRICT 24 REPRESENTATIVE

The February County Board meeting was canceled due to a lack of business, a testament to how many things tend to slow down in the winter months. Business is still being taken care of at the committee level; there just wasn’t enough business at the board level to have the full board meet. The next board meeting will be Tuesday, March 10 at 7:00 pm. The agenda will be posted on the Green County website, as are committee meetings, agendas and minutes.

Before the next board meeting is the first election day of 2020. Tuesday, Feb. 18 is the February 2020 Primary, which is the primary for non-partisan offices. This election will narrow down the candidates for Justice of the Supreme Court for the April election. If you have any questions, including who is on the ballot, voting hours and locations, what identification is needed to vote, as well as a sample ballot you can find voting information on the Green County website at www.co.green. wi.gov. Please make plans to get to the polls that day!

I represent District 24, the Town of Albany and the southeast portion of the Town of Brooklyn, and can be reached at 608-371-9074 or eroth@ greencountywi.org.

MATH MEET VOLUNTEERS NEEDED The Six Rivers Math Meet will be held on Wednesday, Feb. 19.

The math department is looking for adults willing to volunteer to help with the meet. No experience in math is required, and volunteers’ jobs will be distributing and monitoring the tests. If you are able to volunteer, please contact Juda Schools as soon as possible.

SOLAR OPPORTUNITIES Juda schools are planning some ideas for green energy in the future through an Energy Service Agreement. We are now exploring the possibility of a Six Rivers Conference solar group, where several schools from the conference would come together and receive a large discount on solar projects. This would further increase the discount community members could receive if interested in solar, and not only would it reduce electricity costs from day-to-day life, but it would also make a large impact on the environment. With the financial incentives, there is no better time to explore solar. If you are interested, please contact Juda Schools. Also, members from other Six Rivers Schools are encouraged to call in order to truly quantify the magnitude of a discount we could all receive.

COUNSELORS’ CORNER This week, Mrs. Way is working with current juniors and 8th graders to help them choose their senior and freshman classes for next school year. Letters will be sent to the parents to inform them of the choices

In College Engineering, students are continuing to draw 2D objects and prints in AutoCAD. Also, they are learning how to draw a third orthographic view when only two are given without a 3D view.

ANATOMY Students in Anatomy and Physiology are breaking down a muscle into all of its parts. They are learning about where energy in the muscle comes from and each part’s purpose and function for moving

and contracting a muscle. They had their unit test on Tuesday and will be moving on to either the nervous system or an in-depth look at blood and blood cells.

After that game, the boys will have a break until they play again on Thursday, Feb. 20 at home vs. Albany.

They will be covering things such as disorders.

STATISTICS In statistics, they are talking about confidence intervals. They just had a big test on Friday.

TEACHER OF THE WEEK The teacher of the week is Mr. Scott Anderson, who has been teaching at Juda High School math for fourteen years. If Mr. Anderson could travel to any destination right now, he would go to Bonaire, a scuba diving destination. Mr. Anderson’s favorite part about teaching high school math is the relationships formed. He decided to teach at Juda High School because he wanted to be part of a smaller community to

develop more of a connection with his students over multiple years of teaching.

ART DEPARTMENT This week in the art department, the kindergarten is starting on their pigeon project. First grade is starting their weaving project. Second grade is starting their new project.

Third grade is finishing up their tassel projects. Fourth and fifth grade is introducing their new project. Sixth grade is starting their Rome project.

The middle school rotation is working on their Odyssey problem. High school art is starting their furniture project.

FLEX On Tuesday the high schoolers reported to their new flex teachers.

Students were assigned to teachers who could help them in the current classes. For example, the students in Mr. Anderson’s flex can get help in math and improve their grades in that subject. Students will travel from one teacher to another as needed, so they may be in different rooms on different days if they need help in other subjects.

HUNDREDTH DAY OF SCHOOL On Friday we celebrated the hundredth day of school! We only have about 75 left. Keep up the good work, everyone!

Monroe Clinic to offer customized approach to joint replacement surgery Monroe Clinic is expanding its orthopedic services to offer the latest advancement in joint replacement surgery, the MAKO Robotic-Arm Assisted Technology System.

The MAKO Technology utilizes a preoperative CT Scan to allow for patient-specific pre-operative planning that enables more accurate implant positioning. CT data is used to create a 3D model of the patient’s

anatomy. An individualized pre-operative plan is created and reviewed by the surgeon prior to the Mako procedure.

Throughout each procedure, the surgical team will be able to continually validate the individual plan for each patient in real time. This ensures accuracy of the implant and optimization of implant placement.

Drs. Lance Sathoff and Jonathan

Swindle are both MAKO-certified and trained. They began operating with MAKO-assisted procedures in November 2019. Anyone interested in scheduling an orthopedic consultation for MAKO-assisted procedures or learning more about treatment options for muscular, joint or bone issues, should contact the Monroe Clinic Orthopedic team at 608-324-1127.

Sheri Montgomery represented Parkview at the Regional Competition at the Stoughton High School on Feb. 5.

Parkview Spelling Bee results The Parkview Elementary School (PES) held their spelling bee on Jan. 28. Twenty students in grades three –six took part in the spelling bee. Ellen Owens, a retired PES teacher was the pronouncer, a position she had filled for many years. The contest got down to three students, fourth grader Braedyn Girard, and two sixth graders, Robert Ellis and Sheri Montgomery. Braedyn missed his word and a few more rounds went by with Robert and Sheri not missing a word. Robert missed a word and then Sheri had to spell two more words correctly to be the winner, which she did.

Sheri represented Parkview at the Regional Competition at the Stoughton High School on Feb. 5. There were 42 contestants at the regional competition. Sheri made it to the final round and placed in the top six spellers in the region.
