State’s wildfire force readying for summer fire season

By Washington State Department of Natural Resources DNR briefs special advisory committee on pre-season efforts More fire engines, air tankers and firefighters are being positioned this fire season in eastern Washington, according to Bob Johnson, Wildfire Division Manager for the Washington State Department of Natural Resources (DNR). Although DNR’s request for additional funding was not fully granted by the legislature, firefighters and equipment are being deployed earlier and positioned strategically.

Briefing the state’s Wildland Fire Advisory Committee’s April 27 meeting in Wenatchee, Johnson described DNR’s preparations as the state’s 2016 wildfire season gets underway.

“We will be doubling our number of single-engine air tankers from three to six,” said Johnson. “They will be stationed at airports in Omak, Deer Park and Dallesport, so we can get them in the air quickly to keep fires small.”

Training slated for firefighters, commanders Johnson also explained DNR’s plan to operate three interagency fire-training academies across the state in May and June. These academies will prepare entry-level and experienced firefighters, as well as National Guard and other interagency staff to fight fire this summer.

Four large-fire simulation exercises are also taking place in April and May to give regional fire leaders and local officials an opportunity to practice and prepare to battle the kind of large complex fires that have become characteristic of Washington’s escalating two fire seasons.

DNR will field 13 additional fire engines over the next two weeks, with 12 placed with crews in eastern Washington.

“It’s useful for the people of Washington to understand what’s being done by the state to prepare for 2016,” said Gary Berndt, the state’s wildland fire liaison and chair of the advisory committee.

In addition to preparations for fire season, the committee reviewed a work plan to improve forest health across the state.

Committee formed to advise commissioner With the goal of improving communication and coordination with communities around the state, Commissioner of Public Lands Peter Goldmark appointed Berndt on December 1, 2015 to serve as the state’s first-ever Wildland Fire Liaison.

He is responsible for helping Washington communities identify and best use their firefighting assets to quickly respond to fires. He advises state and local wildfire fighting leaders about concerns of residents and landowners in fire-affected communities.

The Wildland Fire Advisory Committee consists of county commissioners, landowners, the state fire marshal, fire chiefs, fire commissioners, tribal representatives, federal firefighters, environmentalists, state land trust representatives and small forest landowners. The committee has met monthly since December 2015.

Free fishing for all on Father’s Day weekend

By Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks Here’s the perfect gift for Dad and Grandpa: free fishing for all over Father’s Day weekend, June 18-19.

“There is no better way to enjoy Montana with friends and family than to plan for a day of fishing,” said Jeff Hagener, director of Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks (FWP) in Helena said. “You can fish without a license on June 18 and June 19, but you must follow all of Montana’s other fishing regulations.”

In total, each year more than 230,000 residents and 160,000 nonresidents purchase a Montana fishing license.

Anglers spend more than $900 million annually in Montana for things like transportation, food and guide fees.

Montana’s most popular waters include the Madison, Bighorn, Missouri, Bitterroot and Gallatin rivers; and Canyon Ferry, Flathead, Georgetown, Hauser, and Fort Peck lakes.

“Montana’s ‘fish for free’ weekend is the state’s Father’s Day gift to dad’s everywhere,” Hagener said. “We want everyone to have a fun time, so we’re also encouraging folks to check conditions first and to always keep safety as their top concern.”

Get your 2016 license on your smart phone

By Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks This year tech-savvy hunters and anglers can get a legal copy of their hunting and/or fishing license on their smart phone.

Thanks to Senate Bill 46, which was carried by Sen. J.P. Pomnichowski of Bozeman and received wide approval by both chambers in the 2015 legislature, electronic signatures are legal for hunting and fishing licenses. This minor adjustment in state law now allows hunters and anglers to use an electronic version of their license.

Big game hunters still must have their carcass tags with them. The electronic version of the hunting license won’t replace these species specific licenses.

Once you have purchased your hunting license, the steps are fairly simple to obtain an electronic copy.

First, go to the fwp.mt.gov home page, which is mobile ready, and click on the “Menu” button at the upper left.

Then from the list provided, click on the MyFWP option.

When you sign in and click “Get Status,” you’ll see all of the applications and licenses you’ve purchased this year. At the end of that list will be a link to “request a copy of your non-carcass tag license.” Follow this link and you’ll be asked to submit your email address. A PDF copy of your license will be emailed to you to save on your phone.

This license will be sufficient legal proof while hunting or fishing in Montana.

FWP will continue to issue paper licenses as well and carcass tags must still be the paper version.

“So don’t discard your paper license once you have an electronic copy on your smart phone,” said FWP Licensing Bureau Chief Hank Worsech. “But if you happen to forget your fishing license, the version on your smart phone will be sufficient for our wardens.”

Barley breeding getting a boost from USDA lab

By Scott E. Heisel, AMBA VP & Technical New DNA marker technologies have the ability to rapidly and efficiently monitor the transfer of traits into new barley selections. The per analysis costs of these technologies are generally far less than traditional field or greenhouse testing, but the capital investment required to set up a facility, or to keep up with the changing technology, is high. Congress provided a solution to this by providing funding for the USDA-Agricultural Research Service (ARS) to set up four regional laboratories (Fargo, ND; Manhattan, KS; Pullman, WA; Raleigh, NC) with the equipment and staff to genotype small grains for public breeders across the country. The regional aspect of the labs allows them to effectively address priority traits and yield limitations for specific production areas.

The USDA-ARS Small Grains Regional Genotyping Laboratory (SGRGL) in Fargo, ND screens several thousand six-row and two-row spring and winter barley each year for breeding programs in Minnesota and North Dakota. University of Minnesota barley breeder Dr. Kevin Smith, notes “The USDA Small Grains Genotyping Centers are an essential component of the infrastructure that supports our breeding and genetics research. Our breeding program routinely sends thousands of samples for genotyping each year.

The centers implement the most current and robust technology in a centralized lab which greatly increases the efficiency of research nationally.” The SGRGLs efficiently screen lines for a number of quality and agronomic traits, allowing barley breeders like Smith to concentrate on making new crosses, screening for other traits, and increasing seed of new lines for testing.

Advances in DNA sequencing technologies have led to the development of genotyping-by-sequencing which could dramatically improve barley breeding.

“These new technologies come at a time when there is the demand from the industry for a broad set of quality profiles in malting barley varieties and growers are looking for new spring and winter varieties that fit in their crop rotations and yield well. The genotyping labs are doing a tremendous job of supporting the breeding of new barleys that fill this need and we are grateful for the role they play” according to Dr. Michael Davis, President of the American Malting Barley Association (AMBA). The development of malting varieties is done through a public/private partnership with the USDAARS, state university, barley growers, industry partners, and AMBA each playing an important role. This ensures that barley remains a significant crop in the US and a major contributor to the economy.

FWP efforts at eliminating diseased bighorn herd largely successful

By Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks herd going.

Disease has plagued the Tendoy MounBighorn sheep in Montana and around tains Bighorn sheep herd since it was the West are particularly susceptible to disreintroduced into historic bighorn habitat eases carried by domestic sheep and goats. in 1985.

Domestic sheep and goats are immune to The herd experienced a disease related these diseases because they evolved with die-off in 1993 and another in 1999. Fish, them in Asia. But wild bighorn sheep have Wildlife and Parks (FWP) tried repeatedly no such immunity and over the past century to rescue the struggling herd by bringing there have been large-scale die-offs in herds in healthy bighorns from elsewhere in the across the west. By whatever means the state – almost 100 in three separate augpneumonia causing germs had come to the mentations over the last 20 years. Yet not Tendoy herd, they had become endemic, enough lambs were surviving to keep the living in the few sheep that survived the die-offs. Most lambs of the few surviving adult sheep were not living much past weaning.

In early 2015 FWP biologist Craig Fager counted 19 sheep, including 1 lamb, but he estimated there might be as many as 30 or 40 total sheep left. So FWP decided it needed to try something different.

In the fall of 2015 FWP started a project to depopulate the entire herd, remove all the sheep, using public hunting. Once total depopulation was achieved healthy sheep would be brought in so we could once again enjoy a thriving herd of bighorns in the Tendoy Mountains.

For the 2015 hunting season, 311 either sex bighorn sheep licenses were sold for the Tendoy Mountains area, 287 to residents and 24 to non-residents. From the onset it was known that if hunters were unable to take all the sheep for a total depopulation, and there were too few left to justify an additional hunting season, FWP would take the remaining sheep and donate the meat to a local food bank.

To date there have been 26 sheep taken including 15 ewes, 8 rams and 3 lambs.

Four adult ewes had ear tags identifying them as coming from Wildhorse Island as part of a 2012 augmentation.

Hunters were very interested in the hunt and very cooperative in getting lung samples for disease and parasite sampling. FWP obtained samples from all but one of the 26 sheep taken.

Lab results are not back as of this writing.

FWP area biologist Craig Fager will continue to monitor the area by air and ground and follow up on any reports of remaining bighorns. He needs to be absolutely positive no bighorns remain before moving forward with a reintroduction of healthy sheep. Reintroduction could happen as early as the winter of 2016/17, but it is more likely to be the following year to allow for an entire year of monitoring making sure none of the original sheep remain.

2017 inaugural Nebraska Grower and Brewer Conference and Trade Show announced

By Kara Christensen, Midwest Hop Producers The University of Nebraska–Lincoln (UNL) is pleased to announce the dates for the First Annual Nebraska Grower and Brewer Conference and Trade Show. The two-day conference will be held Thursday and Friday, January 5-6, 2017 at Nebraska Innovation Campus, 2021 Transformation Drive, Lincoln, Nebraska.

The conference will feature separate basic and advanced sessions for hop growers as well as a craft brewers sessions and is designed for both growers and brewers.

The growers’ sessions will include several prominent speakers from around the country discussing: market outlook, horticultural practices, pest and disease control, harvest and post-harvest practices. The brewers’ sessions (held in conjunction with the Nebraska Craft Brewers’ Guild’s Annual Meeting) will address best brewing practices, brewery safety, input management, and water science, and will offer an up-to-date overview of legal and regulatory topics.

There will also be a brewer/grower networking session that focuses on procuring local ingredients and hop quality. The session will provide growers with a better idea of quality requirements and help align the supply of Nebraska grown hops with brewer needs.

The conference is sponsored in part by Midwest Hop Producers, LLC., Nebraska Craft Brewers Guild, Nebraska Hop Growers Association, the Institute of Agriculture and Natural Resources at UNL, the UNL Food Processing Center, the UNL Department of Agronomy and Horticulture, the Agricultural Research Division at IANR and Nebraska Extension, among others.

nine hard wheats are included in this summary comprising 30 varieties (15 public and 15 private) and 19 experimental lines (18 public and 1 private). Numbered entries preceded by a state designation [e.g.

MTS1224 (Montana) or private company, LCH 10-13, (Limagrain)] are experimental lines provided by the breeder.

Experimental Design and Seeding Methods The Intrastate Winter Wheat Test consists of a 49 entry test with 3 replicates.

These tests are planted as 7x7 lattices or a randomized complete block design at each location. Plot size varied by location, from 35 ft2 at Conrad to 60 ft2 at Havre.

Row number varies: Bozeman and Havre are 3-row,Conrad, Huntley, and Sidney are 4-row, Moccasin (5-row), Kalispell (7-row), and Williston (8-row) Row spacing at all locations was on 1 ft. centers, except at Williston and Kalispell (6” centers). All plots were seeded at 0.6 grams seeds/ft2, which is roughly equivalent to 1 bushel per acre, except at Williston where the seeding rate was about 77 pounds per acre. Information on previous crop, planting date, fertilizer use and harvest date is available in Table 1.

All seed for each nursery was treated with Cruiser Maxx Cereals seed treatment at recommended rates before planting.

Description of Data Collected Yield All rows of each plot were trimmed and measured and harvested using an experimental plot combine.

Grain yields are reported in bushels per acre based on a 60 pound standard bushel weight. In addition to yields obtained in 2015, data is provided for two (2014-2015), three (2013-2015) and four (2012-2015) year averages for hard wheat entries tested during previous cropping seasons.

Test Weight Test weights (pounds per bushel) were obtained for each plot by using Dickey-John Grain Analysis Computer (GAC) at some locations. Other locations use a Seedburo test weight apparatus. In this case, a sample is dropped through a funnel at a given height into a quart brass bucket, excess grain is removed by a flat stick then weighed on a gram scale, and grams per quart are converted into pounds per bushels.

Heading Date Heading date is taken when 50% of the heads in a plot were extended above the flag leaf collar. Heading dates are recorded both in ordinal date (number of days from January 1) and the actual calendar date.

Plant Height Plant height was measured, in inches, from the soil surface to the top of the head, excluding the awns.

Grain Protein Grain protein is sampled from a composite of all 3 replicated plots at each location. It is determined as a % by NIR (near infrared reflectance) on the Infratec whole grain analyzer. Samples are adjusted to a 12% moisture basis.

Winter Survival Percent winter survival is estimated for each plot after initial spring green-up at locations where significant winter injury occurred. In 2015, Sidney lost all plots due to severe winter-kill, while Williston had moderate winter-kill.

Table 11 contains information on % winter survival and associated yield in winterkill environments from 2007 to 2015. The data summarizes 8 tests in which significant winter-kill occurred (test average for winter survival was less than 90%). All sites with winter-kill were in District 6 (Sidney and CONTINUED ON PAGE A22

Cleaning and maintaining cattle feeding sites can increase production

By James Schmidt, K-State Research and Extension The arrival of spring/summer means now is the time to ensure cattle feeding sites are properly managed and kept clean. Excess manure can cause a multitude of issues, ranging from increased fly populations to dirty water.

Joel DeRouchey, professor in Kansas State University’s Department of Animal Sciences and Industry, said that from a sanitation standpoint, any manure that is lying around could end up downstream, especially during times of heavy spring rains.

Manure that gets caught in spring rains and ends up downstream could spell trouble, including for cattle, he said.

“We know the environmental consequence, even from small sites, of a lot of manure that builds up,” said DeRouchey, a livestock nutrition and environmental management specialist for K-State Research and Extension. “From a phosphorus, nitrogen and bacterial standpoint, that could run off into our surface water, often times in the same area where we expect those cattle to be drinking.”

Unclean drinking water for cattle isn’t the only problem that excess manure can cause. Flies can wreak havoc on cattle as well, even if they don’t seem to be a noticeable problem to the producer.

“Sites that have excess manure and wasted hay are perfect environments for flies to lay eggs and begin to emerge,” DeRouchey said. “You have to recognize it only takes five stable flies per leg to reach an economic threshold of decreased performance. So we’re talking 20 flies total per animal.”

In fact, recent research continues to show how flies can have a real economic impact on cattle.

“Research in Nebraska, a grazing study, found that average daily gain was reduced about a half a pound over an 84-day trial when insecticide wasn’t applied versus when it was,” DeRouchey said. “We can directly relate that to the amount of flies that were present in that particular study. So this is not a minor potential impact on performance.”

Keeping flies under control and taking every measure to ensure that flies are not a hindrance to cattle is important for producers.

“We can certainly use insecticide to help mitigate (flies), which is a valuable management tool,” DeRouchey said.

“The other side is to just decrease the fly population in that given area. The way we can do that is by getting these sites cleaned up and getting that manure piled up and spread as soon as possible.”

Heading into summer, there are fewer opportunities to spread manure because of the growing crops. So get that spring cleaning done sooner rather than later, he advised.

A K-State publication titled “Managing Stable Fly Production at Pasture Feeding Sites” is available online (https://www. bookstore.ksre.ksu.edu/Item.aspx?catId=527&pubId=1179) or at local extension offices throughout Kansas.

K-State Research and Extension is a short name for the Kansas State University Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, a program designed to generate and distribute useful knowledge for the well-being of Kansans. Supported by county, state, federal and private funds, the program has county Extension offices, experiment fields, area Extension offices and regional research centers statewide. Its headquarters is on the K-State campus, Manhattan.

2016 Winter wheat variety performance summary in Montana CONTINUED FROM PAGE A18

Williston) which is the most severe location for winter wheat survival of our testing locations.

Wheat Stem Sawfly Wheat stem sawfly (WSS) is a persistent and economic problem for wheat growers in Montana. Currently, Montana wheat acreage infested by WSS is primarily in the north central (District 5), central (District 4) and south central (District 3) cropping districts. Host plant resistance in the form of stem solidness has been effective in reducing sawfly losses in both spring and winter wheat. Solid-stemmed winter wheats, ‘Vanguard’, ‘Rampart’, and “Genou’ were leading varieties in the past but are now planted on only minor acreage. Current solid-stemmed varieties include: Judee, (released in 2011, the second leading variety at 16% of planted acreage), Bearpaw (2011, 4%), WB-Quake (2010, 2%), and Warhorse (2013, 1%).

Table 12 contains information on yield and % sawfly cutting at 10 testing locations where sawfly pressure was present during the years 2010-2015. The data is from Havre, Loma (15 miles northeast of Ft. Benton), Turner (60 miles east-northeast of Havre), and Willow Creek (35 miles westnorthwest of Bozeman). Solidness scores (rated on a 5-25 scale) are shown for solid and semi-solid varieties in Table 14.

Coleoptile Length Coleoptile length evaluation is performed in Bozeman under controlled (growth chamber) conditions. Twenty-five seeds per variety were planted in wetted vermiculite.

After 15 days the coleoptile (sheath covering the emerging shoot that helps penetration to the soil surface) is measured. This test is replicated 3 times for each variety.

Results from previous years are reported in Table 14. Long coleoptiles are generally longer than 4 inches, medium from 2.7-4 in, and short are under 2.7 in. Care should be taken not to plant short coleoptile varieties too deep.

Other Agronomic Characters Table 14 contains information on grain maturity, chaff color, relative winter survival and straw strength for the hard wheat varieties listed in this publication.

Cereal Quality Milling and baking characteristics for varieties are presented in Table 14. They are rated for each variety on a 1-5 scale (5 = superior). A quantitative polyphenol oxidase (PPO) has been determined for varieties since the 2006 mill and bake evaluation.

These varieties are reported in Table 14 as

low to high. A lower value is associated with better Asian noodle quality.

Disease Reactions Disease reactions for hard red wheat varieties are listed in Table 14. There is information on dwarf smut, stripe rust, stem rust and leaf rust.

Statistical Analyses and Interpretation The data collected at each winter wheat location was analyzed as a three-replication lattice or randomized complete block design. Least significant difference at the 0.05 probability level (LSD, p = 0.05) and coefficients of variation (CV) were calculated from analysis of variance at each location. The LSD is used to compare the performance of two specific varieties at a time. If the difference between two varieties exceeds the LSD this is interpreted as a true difference, because a difference between two varieties this large will only occur 5% of the time due to chance.

Tables 3 through 10 show 2015 data for hard winter wheat collected at all harvested experiment station sites. Where a variety has been in the test for two, three or four years, combined analyses of the yield data over years are presented.

Variety selection should be based on yield stability at a particular location over a period of years. Selection should also consider test weight, winter-hardiness, heading date, plant height, protein and disease resistance.

2015 Test Conditions Statewide winter wheat yields were projected by the Montana Agricultural Statistics Service at 41 bu/a, for 2015, the same as for the 2014 harvest year. The harvested acreage in 2015 was 2.22 million acres (total production = 91.2 million bu) compared 2.24 million acres in 2014 (total production = 91.8 million bu).

Rainfall for the 2014-2015 winter crop year was below average at all locations tested (Table 13), except Havre (range -5.00 at Williston to +0.03 at Havre). Average yearly temperatures were generally above long term (6 out of 8 locations) ranging from below average at Havre (-0.5°F) to +3.1°F at Bozeman.

Yields, for the 6 locations harvested (besides extreme winter-kill at Sidney, the Huntley location was not planted for the 2015 crop year), averaged 71 bu/a {range 43 (Williston) to 115 bu/a (Kalispell)}. Yields of named varieties, across the 6 harvested locations, ranged from a low of 50 bu/a (WB4059CLP) to a high of 83 bu/a for Yellowstone.

Aerial surveys can spot boll weevil hideouts

By Dennis O’Brien, Agricultural Research Service Agricultural Research Service (ARS) scientists in College Station, Texas, have found a way to use digital images taken in aerial surveys to identify regrowth cotton that may be harboring boll weevils.

Cotton growers in Texas’ Lower Rio Grande Valley often mow down their cotton plants after harvest and may spray plant stalks with herbicides to prevent boll weevils from taking refuge in regrowth cotton. But the Valley is subtropical, and heavy autumn rains often prevent growers from taking those measures, making cotton plants more likely to regrow and create year-round boll weevil habitats. This “regrowth cotton” is often spread over large areas, making detection difficult.

ARS meteorologist John Westbrook, entomologist Charles Suh and agricultural engineer Chenghai Yang grew cotton, defoliated it, then mowed it down or shredded it. They also arranged for nine flights by a plane equipped with cameras that took high-resolution images of the cotton as it grew, and intermittently for about two months after it was harvested and shredded.

The scientists also conducted ground-based surveys on the same dates as the aerial surveys, measuring the height and width of cotton plants as they grew, and after plants were harvested and shredded. The team recorded the postharvest daily air temperatures and correlated them with the sizes of the regrowth cotton to predict when regrowth plants would reach sufficient sizes to detect in aerial surveys.

The results show that the airborne imagery can be used to estimate regrowth when the leaf canopies of cotton plants are at least 8-12 inches wide. The scientists also were able to use data on air temperature and plant size to develop a model to predict when the regrowth cotton would reach detectable sizes, based on temperature patterns. The approach will give growers better information regarding areas harboring boll weevils so they can spray for them and reduce the threat they pose in the area.

Hoffman joins SBARE board

By NDSU Extension Service Larry Hoffman of Wheatland will join North Dakota’s State Board of Agricultural Research and Education (SBARE), and Richard Roland of Crosby will serve a second term.

Hoffman will be the North Dakota Ag Coalition representative on the board. He replaces Leland “Judge” Barth of Mandan, whose term expires this year. Roland represents a 10-county area in northwestern North Dakota. Roland and Hoffman will start their four-year terms July 1.

SBARE helps North Dakota State University’s (NDSU) North Dakota Agricultural Experiment Station and Extension Service identify needs and set funding priorities. To do that, SBARE gathers input on agricultural research and Extension needs from producers, and commodity and other interest groups. The board then organizes the needs into initiatives and ranks them for consideration for state funding each biennium.

Hoffman and his son and brother operate a diversified farming operation that raises beef cows, corn, soybeans, wheat, alfalfa, tame hay and, at times, barley, oats, field peas and sunflowers.

He has been a 4-H leader and an Extension advisory board member, as well as a member of grain, fuel, agronomy and county crop improvement boards, including the North Dakota Corn Growers Association and Northern Plains Nitrogen boards, and the Farm Service Agency’s Cass County committee.

Hoffman also is chairman of the National Corn Growers Association’s research and business development team and a representative on the National Agricultural Genotyping Center board. He was instrumental in bringing the National Agricultural Genotyping Center to Fargo.

In addition, he has been a member of the North Dakota Stockmen’s Association and North Dakota Soybean Growers Association, and has been involved in corn research projects for the SBARE corn committee for 10 years.

Roland is the founder of Legume Logic, a company involved in introducing alternative crops such as legumes to replace summer fallow in the region. He grew up on a diversified cattle operation north of Bottineau. After graduating from NDSU in 1969, he taught vocational agriculture in LaMoure for four years.

After moving to Crosby in 1974, he organized and taught the adult farm management classes in Crosby and Tioga for four years.

In 1978, he started a farm retail store and custom farming operation near Crosby, and introduced sunflowers and no-till winter wheat to the region. Then, through a local farmer investment group, he was involved in building a large hog farrowing facility. He started Legume Logic in 1990.

He has served on several boards, including the advisory board for the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Agricultural Research Service in Mandan, and the North Dakota Dry Pea and Lentil and Crosby Parks and Recreation boards. ##### Hens can lay about 300 eggs a year.

2016 Winter wheat variety performance summary in Montana CONTINUED FROM PAGE A22

Test weight averaged 59.9 lb/bu across all locations. Bozeman (56.2 lb/bu), Moccasin (59.3), and Conrad (59.7) were below 60 lb/ bu, while Williston (60.8), Havre (61.1) and Kalispell (62.4) were above.

Extreme winter-kill occurred at Sidney and this nursery was not harvested in 2015.

Percent winter survival, at Sidney, on May 20th averaged 2% {best = Jerry (43%), while only 6 other entries had stands above 5%). Williston averaged 71% winter survival for the 2015 crop year, with a range of 16% (WB4623CLP) to 98% (Jerry) (see Table 10.) Heading dates were earlier in 2015 than long term averages at all 6 harvested locations. Havre (-12 days), Conrad (-11 days) and Bozeman, Kalispell, and Moccasin (all -9 days) had the least change at Williston (-2 days).

Stripe rust at both Bozeman (average = 15%, range 0 – 59%) and Kalispell (average = 41%, range 0 – 98%) were a factor in yield reduction for highly susceptible varieties (Bearpaw, Broadview, Byrd, Cowboy, Decade, Denali, Genou, Jerry, and WB4059CLP).

There was minor sawfly cutting recorded at the Havre Experiment Station averaging 5% (range = 0 – 15%) of stems cut across varieties. Sawfly parasites have been on the increase in the past 3 years.

Protein content averaged 12.6% across all locations (location range = 9.6 – 17.0%) tested. The range of named varieties across all locations was from a low of 11.6% (Denali) to a high of 13.6% (Rampart and WB4059CLP).

Leading winter wheat varieties planted for 2015 were Yellowstone (21.0%), Judee (16.4%), Decade (6.7%), CDC Falcon (5.6%), Brawl CL Plus (4.4%), and Genou (4.0%).

Dwarf Smut (TCK) Dwarf smut (TCK) can be controlled with ‘Dividend’ seed treatment (see page 5).

Dwarf smut or dwarf bunt (Tilletia controversa Kuhn) is a fungal disease that occurs in areas where winter wheat is subjected to prolonged snow cover or unfrozen ground.

The planting of dwarf smut resistant varieties (Promontory and SY Clearstone 2CL are resistant) is a practical means of control.

The amount of wheat lost each year be-

cause of dwarf smut is small in relation to the state’s total crop, but individual operators may experience severe losses in heavily infested, localized areas.

Fig. 2. Known areas of dwarf smut (TCK) infestations.

If you farm in the vicinity of one of the shaded areas in the map (Figure 2.), you would be well advised to observe closely your winter wheat crop and consider planting a resistant variety (Table 14) or use ‘Dividend’ or Cruiser Maxx seed treatment..

What Recommendation by MAES Means Classification of winter wheat varieties is determined on a yearly basis by the Montana Agricultural Experiment Station (MAES) Wheat Variety Release Committee. This 16 member committee is composed of one wheat breeder, one cereal or forage quality scientist, one plant pathologist, one entomologist, one weed scientist, one cropping systems specialist, six Research Center agronomists, one manager from both the Montana Foundation Seed program and the Montana Seed Growers Association, one Montana Wheat and Barley Committee member and one representative of the Montana Agricultural Experiment Station Advisory Board.

A variety is eligible for recommendation when a minimum of 16 location-years of performance data is obtained from the Montana State University statewide winter wheat performance trials and test results indicate that the variety is equal to or superior “Partners in Production” in overall merit to specified check cultivars and has end-use quality equal to or exceed406-727-7153 ing currently recommended varieties. For 4181 North Park Trail varieties originating from private companies, Great Falls recommendation is considered only at the Ken – 788-4588; Craig – 868-7964; Ed – 231-4254; Rick – 231-9898; request of the company when adequate data Dwight – 231-4251 is available. www.hovenequipment.com Recommendations of varieties are considered on a case by case basis. Yield performance of a variety is an important criteria, but also considered are test weight, grain protein content, winter survival, pest resistance and end-use quality data. In general, yield needs to be at least equal to currently recommended varieties in a particular district, unless the variety is being recommended for a specific purpose, e.g. winter hardiness, sawfly resistance.

Researchers to explore genetics of stress resistance

By Iowa State University of Science and Technology A $2.1 million grant will help Iowa State University (ISU) plant scientists to study how corn responds to environmental stress at the genetic level.

The three-year grant, awarded by the National Science Foundation, could set the stage for plant breeders to develop corn varieties that are more resilient to adverse environmental conditions, such as heat waves.

Have 3 John Deere S670 combines with draper and pickup headers, grain Stephen Howell, a Distinguished Professor of genetics, cart, John Deere tractor, semi’s with trailers. Will provide mapping and invoice development and cell biology and the primary investigator on the project, said researchers at Iowa State, Michigan State for job. References available. and the University of North Carolina-Wilmington will try to build a better understanding of how corn plants deal with stress conditions that upset a delicate but vital process in plant cells Phone Scott Payne at 308-882-4490 or cell 308-882-8165 called protein folding.

Protein folding is a process by which newly produced proteins acquire their shape and function inside a cell.

The process occurs in every higher organism, and the success of the process is a matter of life or death in plant cells. For instance, an improperly folded protein may not be able to carry out its enzymatic function in plant metabolism or development.

Howell said prolonged exposure to environmental stress can disrupt protein folding in corn plants, causing the plants to produce misshapen proteins. The buildup of too many misshapen proteins sets off an alarm prompting the plant either to destroy the proteins or strengthen the genetic mechanisms involved in protein folding. Howell’s lab will work to identify the gene pathways that are activated s m e Ranch it 10 am when misshapen proteins t a selling begin to pile up.

“Too many misshapen proteins can be toxic to the plant,” Howell said. “Learning about the alarm system may help future plant breeders to tweak the plant’s response and build in better tolerance for stress.”

By Scott Weybright, WSU CAHNRS Grapevine leafroll disease (GLD) has plagued vineyards for centuries, but little is known about how this virus impacts the fruit quality and actual wine produced from grapes of affected plants.

Phone (406) 870-9003, Power, Montana Researchers from different disciplines at Washington State University teamed up to examine virus impacts from “vine to wine.” Their study, recently published in PLoS ONE, can be found at http://dx.doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0149666.

MGGA and MGF award 2016 scholarships

The Montana Grain Growers Association (MGGA) and the Montana Grains Foundation (MGF) are pleased to announce the recipients of their college scholarships for school year 2016-17.

The MGGA $1,000 scholarship winners are: Riley Slivka, a high school senior from Winifred, plans to attend Northwest College in Powell, Wyoming to major in agricultural communication which he hopes will help him “better understand the best methods for promoting production agriculture.” Riley further stated in his application essay, “I also realize that many others in this world don’t know where their food comes from. They see videos and other media released from anti-agriculture movements and believe it. I want people to see the other side of the story.

Tom Grubb, a high school senior from Coffee Creek, plans to attend MSU-Bozeman and pursue a degree in Plant Science with an emphasis on Crop Science, because he “enjoys the agricultural lifestyle and finds the field of agronomy and plants interesting, and the current job market seems to be in need of individuals who have knowledge in noxious weeds and/or crop traits and diseases.”

The MGF $2,000 scholarship winners are: Connor Hodgskiss will be a senior at MSU-Bozeman majoring in Plant Sciences with a Crop Science concentration. He eventually plans to attend graduate school to study crop rotations, because he thinks “crop rotations are incredibly interesting and complex systems which can help us conserve valuable resources that may be difficult to obtain again if lost, such as soil quality.”

Cooper Spicher will be a junior at MSU-Bozeman majoring in Plant Sciences with a Crop Science concentration. He is looking forward to “carrying on the family tradition associated with being a fifth generation Spicher farmer” and also wishes to become a Certified Crop Advisor to better serve his community after he returns home.

Emma Jobson is a graduate student in Plant Sciences with a concentration in Plant Genetics at MSU-Bozeman.

Her graduate research project is focused on developing new variations and further understanding of a gene which is associated with yield increases in wheat.

Emma stated in her application, “The significance of this project is the potential for wheat varieties with increased yields, fewer inputs, and therefore greater profits for growers in Montana.” ##### Even though many glues are now synthetic, livestock and horse parts that contain collagen (for example, tendons, ligaments, hooves, and cartilage) are still used to make some glue products.

Hoof glue is primarily used for woodworking.

New wheat line eliminates discoloring in foods

By Sandra Avant, Agricultural Research Service Getting rid of gray discoloring in foods such as fresh noodles, breads and refrigerated biscuits is now possible, thanks to a new white hard wheat breeding line developed

by U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) scientists.

Plant geneticist Bob Graybosch, at the Agricultural Research Service’s (ARS) Grain, Forage, and Bioenergy Research Unit in Lincoln, Nebraska, developed a wheat that has no polyphenol oxidase—an enzyme present in all plants that causes discoloring. The enzyme causes browning in sliced apples, black spots in cut avocados and dark marks on banana peels.

The new wheat line, 070R1074, was developed by crossing two Australian wheats entered into the ARS National Small Grains Collection in the 1930s. Collaborating with the University of Nebraska and Montana State University, Graybosch screened wheats in the Collection for polyphenol oxidase and then mated wheats with different forms of the genes that produced this enzyme. Wheat breeding lines with very low levels of polyphenol oxidase were generated from these crosses.

Although some low-polyphenol oxidase hard winter white wheats have been developed, many U.S. white wheats still have high levels of polyphenol oxidase, according to Graybosch. High polyphenol oxidase levels make U.S. producers less competitive in domestic and export markets.

In Asia, hard white wheat is popular for making products such as fresh noodles, and white whole grain breads are gaining favor in the United States. To be competitive, U.S. milling companies need wheats with low or no polyphenol oxidase.

In their research, Graybosch and his colleagues discovered naturally occurring genetic mutations in the new wheat line, which resulted in nearly complete loss of polyphenol oxidase activity. Researchers have used the trait to improve breeding lines and could eventually incorporate it into elite lines to produce highly desirable cultivars.

ARS is USDA’s principal intramural scientific research agency.

2016 Winter wheat variety performance summary in Montana CONTINUED FROM PAGE A26

If a serious defect in the variety is identified during performance testing, the variety will not be recommended. Examples of defects resulting in non-recommendation include: high probability of winter-kill, low grain protein, low baking quality, etc.

Lack of variety recommendation by MAES may occur due to a decision by the originating company not to test the variety in statewide performance trials. In this case the lack of recommendation is due to inadequate or no data rather than a specific varietal defect.

Montana produces primarily hard red winter and hard red spring wheats. Continuous improvement of the milling and/or baking quality of Montana grown winter wheat is one of many objectives of the Montana Agricultural Experiment Station breeding and cultivar development program. All varieties recommended by the Montana Agricultural Experiment Station have been evaluated and found to be acceptable for milling and baking performance by the Cereal Quality Laboratory at Montana State University.

The quality of Montana recommended varieties, if grown and marketed within their respective classes, is acceptable by domestic users. Montana’s future as a hard red and hard white winter wheat producing state for both the domestic and export markets rests on the quality of the product.

Producing Winter Wheat Plant CERTIFIED CLASS SEED of varieties RECOMMENDED by the Montana Agricultural Experiment Station.

Seed Treatment Treat all winter wheat seed with a recommended fungicide to reduce losses caused by cereal smut or other seed-borne diseases.

Several non-mercurial compounds are registered for grain seed treatment.

Dwarf smut (bunt) can be controlled with difenoconazole. Dividend® contains this compound and is available in Montana. If you farm in a dwarf smut area contact your seed dealer or chemical representative for more information about this seed treatment.

See page 4 for known areas of dwarf smut infestations.

Diseases are best controlled when all seeds are coated with a seed treatment. Do not over-treat-- Follow recommendation of manufacturer of product as to rate.

Truck-mounted seed treaters, which apply the fungicide as the seed is augered into the drill box, do a good job of treating if operated according to manufacturer’s specifications.

Drill box treatments are not effective for general use.

When using any pesticide materials, read the information on the label as to rate of application, specific uses, methods of handling, precautions, etc.

Seeding Rate and Date The following rates and dates for seeding are general (Figure 3). The heavier seeding rate, where indicated, is applicable to plump seed of high test weight (above 60 lbs/bu) or for seed having a kernel size larger than normal for most other varieties. The lighter rates are for the smaller seeded varieties or when test weight is below normal for larger seeded varieties. Seeding rates may be lower if adequate nitrogen and phosphorus amounts are applied at planting.

Winter wheat seed lots may vary in the number of seeds per pound depending on the ratio of large-to-small seeds in a seed lot.

The average is approximately 15,000 seeds per pound. A precise count of the number

of seeds per pound should be made on your seed lot to help calibrate your drill. You can also calculate how many pounds of seed you will need to plant an acre.

Figure 3. Seeding rate (lb/acre) and date for winter wheat

As to seeding date -- DO NOT SEED TOO EARLY in areas where root rot diseases are prevalent. In areas where Cephalosporium stripe, wheat streak mosaic virus or other root rot diseases have caused losses, delay seeding until the soil temperature in the seed zone will stay below 55oF except for brief periods during the day. In the southern half of Montana, this is usually September 10 to 20. In Districts 5 and 6, plant between September 1 and 15. Cooler soil temperatures slow root development and reduce the probability of winter root injury and invasion by soil-borne organisms.

To reduce the incidence of root and foot rots, plant winter wheat on land previously seeded to other crops such as barley, oats or spring wheat. Extreme seeding delay, however, reduces seedling vigor and increases chances of winter-kill.

Seeding Depth Set the drill to place the seed 1 to 2 inches below the soil surface. Deeper seeding reduces tillering and lowers crop yields.

With the furrow drills, wind-driven soil particles settle in the furrows covering the seed deeper than desired.

Yield in Winter Wheat as Influenced by Percent Stand During periods of winter injury farmers are frequently faced with a decision as to whether or not a field should be torn up and re-seeded. A 40 to 50 percent winter wheat stand, if general over field, may produce as much as re-seeded spring wheat. Thinner stands will likely demand more attention for weed control.

The guidelines for evaluating winter wheat stands are to determine the average number of healthy plants per square yard.

We suggest making a square frame out of 3/8 inch rod. Walk the field in a zigzag pattern counting at ten random locations.

Fields that have 80 or more plants per square yard will probably produce more than if replanted to spring wheat (information taken from 1995 Master’s Thesis, “Critical Overwintering Plant Population for Successful Winter Wheat Production in Montana” by Doug Holen).

Additional Descriptive Information for Winter Wheat Varieties New for the 2016 Bulletin: Brawl CL Plus – hard red winter wheat developed by Colorado and released in 2011. Brawl CL Plus is an early maturing, medium short statured wheat, with white chaff. Brawl CL Plus has average yield and above average test weight and protein. Brawl CL Plus is susceptible to stripe rust. Mill and bake characteristics, under Montana conditions, have not been determined. PVP, Title V has been issued (Certificate #201200434). Additionally, the CLEARFIELD genes are patented.

Guide shows wildfire patterns, includes safety for prescribed burns

By University of Wyoming Extension “Wildland Fire in Wyoming: Patterns, Influences, and Effects” presents a view of wildfire in the state, including prescribed fires to achieve land management objectives.

The 24-page publication, available as a free download from University of Wyoming (UW) Extension at bit.ly/ Wildlandfirewyo, includes original research and findings from more than 50 historical, ecological and firefighting reports and studies.

Scasta examines the influence of drought, weather, season, fuel characteristics and topography on fire behavior and patterns and fire’s effects on soils, plant communities, livestock, wildlife and bark beetle outbreaks.

“Wildland Fire in Wyoming” covers how to calculate and measure fire intensity and severity and offers guidelines and considerations for prescribed burns that might be applied to improve livestock forage, optimize wildlife habitat, mitigate wildfire risk and protect fire-sensitive plant species.

Observations are drawn from major fires in Yellowstone in 1988 and Bridger-Teton National Forest in 2012, and others in Teton, Park, Fremont, Sublette, Albany, Platte and Carbon counties up to 2015.

Maps, photographs, tables and modeling results are included, and a resources section directs readers to free fire modeling software, databases, wildfire maps and planning tools.

“Wildland Fire in Wyoming” is one of more than 500 how-to guides and videos available from University of Wyoming Extension (see bit.ly/UWEpubs). For more on fire, see “Living with Wildfire in Wyoming” and “Residential Development Effects of Firefighting Costs in the WildlandUrban Interface (http://www.wyoextension.org/publications/ Search_Details.php?pubid=1894&pub=B-1268).” ##### You know you’re old when you see the movie Jurassic Park and it brings back fond childhood memories.

The public is invited to attend free annual field days across Montana to tour and learn about the people, places and projects involved with agricultural research at Montana State University’s College of Agriculture andMontana Agricultural Experiment Station (MAES). Seven research stations across the state and two local Bozeman campus farms will each host a field day this summer. The experiment station comprises statewide agricultural research of on and off-campus MSU faculty and facilities.

“Statewide field days are a longstanding tradition where we invite the public to tour our facilities, meet our faculty and staff and learn about trends and progress in agriculture research that hopefully makes a difference in their lives,” said Barry Jacobsen, associate director of MAES. “What’s most important about field days is that they serve as an opportunity for statewide producers, farmers, ranchers and agribusiness to share successes and challenges faceto-face with faculty scientists and learn about what the university is doing in response to those challenges and needs.

It’s a chance for faculty and stakeholders to engage as an agricultural community and for the university to get feedback on what we need to be focusing on.”

Field days include facility tours, explanations of research projects and results and a chance for citizens, producers, legislators and agribusiness representatives to speak with MSU scientists and Extension agents.

Summer 2016 field days include: Central Agricultural Research Center, Tuesday, June 21: The field day starts at 9 a.m. and includes a free lunch.

The center is located 2.5 miles west of Moccasin on U.S. Highway 87. (406) 423-5421.

Northern Agricultural Research Center, Wednesday, June 22: The field day begins at 4 p.m. with tours before and after dinner. The center is located about seven miles southwest of Havre on U.S. Highway 87. (406) 265-6115.

Western Triangle Agricultural Research Center, Thursday, June 23: MSU President Waded Cruzado will attend the field day, which begins at 8 a.m. WTARC is located at 9546 Old Shelby Road, Conrad. (406) 278-7707.

Southern Agricultural Research Center, Tuesday, June 28: The field day begins at 9 a.m. The SARC is located at 748 Railroad Highway, CONTINUED ON PAGE A40

Ticks with Lyme Disease

By Jim Stordahl, Clearwater/Polk county extension, Minnesota With warmer spring weather, tick season is upon us. So far, NDSU Entomologists have identified the smaller black legged tick – commonly known as the deer tick, as well as the larger dog ticks (wood ticks) from areas in North Dakota and Minnesota.

Yearling Polled & Horned Hereford Bulls The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Performance Tested recommends the following strategies to prevent tick bites: Minimizing direct contact with ticks by avoiding woody Select Now - We Will Deliver in Spring and high grass areas and walking in center of trails, if possible.

Quickly find and remove any ticks from body by using a tweezers. Grasp tick close to skin and pull straight up to avoid breaking off the tick’s mouthparts in the skin. Clean bite area with rubbing alcohol or soap and water.

Always read and follow the EPA approved label on the product container.

The CDC reports that Lyme disease was the fifth most common ‘National notifiable disease’ in 2014 and about 300,000 people get Lyme disease each year. The black legged tick (deer tick) vectors Lyme disease. Lyme disease is concentrated in 14 states in the Northeast and upper Midwest regions.

The incidence of Lyme disease was near 16.4% in Minnesota and <1% in North Dakota in 2015. However, deer ticks are moving west into North Dakota and is considered established in northeastern North Dakota. The North Dakota Department of Health confirmed Lyme disease in five counties last year: Cass, Grand Forks, McIntosh, Mercer and Towner counties. A Survey of Ticks and Tick-Borne Pathogens in North Dakota that was published in the Journal of Medical Entomology also confirmed black legged ticks in six counties: Eddy, Grand Forks, Pembina, Ramsey, Rolette, and Steele counties.

Lyme disease is caused by the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi. Symptoms of Lyme disease includes: Bull’s eye rash, headache, fever and fatigue. In a worst case scenario, infections can cause arthritic joints, and affect the nervous system causing facial paralysis, and spinal cord, brain or heart problems. Lyme disease must be treated immediately with antibiotics. It can take 2 to 3 weeks to recover if treated early. The later you wait for treatment; your symptoms will become more severe and more difficult to cure.

Agriculture in China

By Cheryl Wachenheim, Professor NDSU Department of Agribusiness and Applied Economics “What is agriculture like in America?” is a question I am asked often by students, scholars and farmers throughout China.

“What is agriculture like in China?” is the most frequent question I field from folks back home. The answer to both is straightforward on the surface; they are very different.

American farms are generally large. The last agricultural census places the average size farm in the United States at 441 acres. The average size in North Dakota is 1,307 acres and in Minnesota is 352 acres. And, in the United States, there is considerable variability in farm size. The average farmer in China farms just 1.4 acres, approximately the size of a football field, and farm size is similar between one farmer and the others in his village.

As you would therefore expect, most Chinese farmers do not use the machinery and equipment you see on American farms. In fact, most use no machinery at all. This spring, farmers planting by hand or with the aid of a draft animal and with pesticide packs strapped on their backs walking their fields were common sights as we rode the train throughout China’s countryside.

Chinese agriculture is quite labor intensive. The concept of a truly labor-intensive productive activity is one I didn’t fully understand until we first witnessed the daily street cleaning that is conducted throughout Beijing by individual men and women using handmade straw brooms. These and other common labor-intensive activities, including farming, seem in stark contrast to the immense cranes working from sunup to sundown constructing skyscrapers in many cities as the Chinese economy grows at an annual rate of 7 percent.

Mechanized is not a word associated with agriculture in China. The expression on the faces of my Chinese students when I describe a 90-foot sprayer or a GPS-driven tractor with a 24-row planter reflects authentic awe. The difference is only due, in part, to differences in topography, so one can imagine one day that mechanized agriculture will be more common in China.

Already, as is the case in many quickly developing countries, the Chinese seem ready to skip ahead in the evolution of agriculture to quickly adopt the newest technologies. For example, surprisingly common as a relatively inexpensive hobby item for those interested in landscape photography, unmanned aerial equipment is already being used to apply these same pesticides in some areas of China.

Labor-intensive farming is well-suited to today’s China because there are plenty of farmers; some 300 million of them. However, these farmers do not enjoy the social and economic position of many of our own 3.2 million farmers.

Chinese farmers are generally poor, both in earnings and in wealth. And, their living conditions are rudimentary. In this country where family is first, I am surprised by the number of colleagues and friends who have explained that they return to their to their childhood home alone for the annual fall and spring festivals because their spouse is not comfortable with the standard of living found in this rural farming village.

This typification of Chinese agriculture, including small farms and considerable poverty, is made more challenging by a general lack of education, training and information required to make market-based decisions. While farmers are now free to produce for the market, they often don’t have the information they need to do so. Added is the widespread financial exclusion incurred by Chinese farmers.

Lack of collateral and low incomes place them low on the return/risk scale for financial institutions. Further deterring creditors are transactions costs associated with the small size of farm operations and general lack of verifiable records.

The situation I describe, however, is changing. It will take time, but the potential for growth in agriculture is great. Supported by focused government policy, aided by significant efforts against the corruption that has previously impeded the efficiency of policy aimed at rural development, progress in Chinese agriculture will continue; I suspect at an accelerated pace.

There is plenty proof of this in the countryside as young, hard-working, innovative college-educated Chinese entrepreneurs return to their home villages to drive progress.

China has in place programs that work to encourage these high-impact men and women. And, where there is opportunity, especially that supported by an increasingly marketoriented policy that rewards hard work and success, people will capitalize on it and, in doing so, will help rural areas grow economically.

One shining example is Tonghui Agricultural Cooperative in rural Inner Mongolia, an autonomous region of northern CONTINUED ON PAGE A45

Agriculture in China CONTINUED FROM PAGE A44

China. The cooperative is the result of a dream of Wang Lu, a young man ready to start his career after graduating from Peking University in Beijing.

In his words, Lu returned to his home province because, “President Xi said we should go to our home villages and help the farmers become businessmen, so I came here to help them.”

From an idea formed only two years ago and actioned only last year, the cooperative today boasts more than 330 farmer-members, and provides services to more than 2,000 farmers.

Tonghui Cooperative has successfully engineered a previously nonexistent supply chain for local products, including warehousing, processing and logistics to bring their cooperative-branded, Certified Green raw and processed products to markets throughout Inner Mongolia and to Beijing.

They have established direct market sales to independent and chain supermarkets. Even more notably, they have jumped into the future through their direct marketing to restaurants and home-consumers through three of China’s leading e-commerce platforms. The farmer-members, a majority of whom have never used a computer, find their products moving to store shelves and consumers’ tables in places as far and important as Beijing through internet sales and contracted delivery. This is true progress.

Our agriculture is very different from that found throughout most of China. What is common is the entrepreneurial spirit and strong work ethic of the farmers. I see in the nottoo-distant future, farmers throughout China using precision technologies in low-environmental impact production working toward their food security goals associated with feeding the 1.4 billion people of China. I think you will see it as well.

##### Life on a farm is a school of patience; you can’t hurry the crops or make an ox in two days.

Curtis’ Secret Weapon

By Tammi Rogers Let me just start out by saying I am not a night person. I have an active imagination and that, combined with darkness, is no good for a person doing chores and hearing strange noises. So I have made it my hard and fast rule to be done with chores and in the house before nightfall. Even if that means 3:00 p.m. in the wintertime. After all, I have dinner to make….

Except during calving season. It must be something about once a mom, always a mom, because when those little doeeyed babies hit the ground, out comes my supermom cape and nothing is going to get to that little calf without first going through its momma or its surrogate supermom, which, of course, is me. After all, along with my cape I also have thumbs, which would allow me to open boxes of ammunition or, in this case, bring out Curtis’ Secret Weapon.

For a little background information, when I was a kid, my dad once caught me not picking up a nail or some similar act of prevention for future pitfalls. He took the opportunity to tell me about a time when he was a boy on the baseball team and he had rounded the bases and noticed a nail sticking up. However, he chose not to do anything about it and the next kid coming around the bases was injured by that nail as a result. An ounce of prevention…. A few years, decades maybe, later, Dad confessed that he must have made up that story because he was never on a baseball team.

Nevertheless, the story has its desired effect because, to this day, when I am running, I will pick up any nail, screw, chunk of metal that I see on the road so it doesn’t land in someone’s tire or in some unlucky runner’s foot coming up behind me. Who knows how many flat tires and hospital visits my dad has saved!

At any rate, that same lesson carries over to calving season. Last night while sleeping soundly, my internal mom alarm goes off when I am woke by the gentle “hmmmmooo” that cows do when calling their calves. It is not a full out “MOOOOOO!,” but a quiet, almost humming reassuring moo. Only a mother could have heard that. The proof is Curtis lying sound asleep beside me oblivious to the fact that there is a lost baby out in the dark where spooky critters with long fangs stalk any sweet, defenseless babies.

As I laid there in bed, considering my options of staying in the nice warm covers and denying ever hearing any commotion outside or doing the right thing, the nail lesson immediately popped into my head. There would be no living with myself if I had stayed in bed. While sitting on the edge of the bed putting on my socks and a sweatshirt, I tried to make as much movement as possible in hopes of waking Curtis up. Just short of jumping up and down in the middle of the bed, he amazingly only managed to emit a little “chkxsnort” and went back to quietly snoring.

At almost 48 years old, I figured it was time to get my big-girl panties on and go face the dark. First, I fumbled my way through the house in the dark through the kitchen. On the edge of the kitchen before going into the mudroom, there was a stash of “special” tools that Curtis liked to keep ready for emergencies. This little selection of items had kind of oozed over from the mudroom, where they should go, into the one cabinet area of the kitchen. This is where he kept several of his 007 devices. Usually, I cannot get too close to these. On the rare occasions when they come out, a look comes over his face that can only be described as, well like the look a 7 -year-old boy gets when he is hunting his big brother with his BB gun. His eyes glaze over, his tongue juts out the side of his mouth and he starts to tip toe.

But tonight, his eyes had a different kind of glaze, so it was my turn. I reached for the Weapon, the Ryobi Xenon High Beam 6000. This was every little boy’s, er, I mean cattleman’s best friend. I have heard that there are bigger spotlights but I think a 747 jumbo jet is attached to them.

I clicked the energizer battery, the one required with highpower hand tools, together with the Weapon and worked my way through the living room in the dark to the back door to get to the porch. Halfway there, it dawned on me that I had better make sure the battery I grabbed was charged so I squeezed on the trigger. At that moment, the house lit up like a chunk of the sun had been shoved into a mason jar.

My once large pupils had instantaneously been insulted and were working their way to pinholes but couldn’t get there fast enough. I was blind. Great. Curtis is deaf and now I’m blind. I think there was a story like that once?

Note to self, “That was stupid.” Regaining my feeling my way through the dark skills, I made it to the door and stepped out into more darkness. Sensations flooded into my head. There was wind that I had not heard from inside. The neighbor is going to have kittens in a few weeks judging by CONTINUED ON PAGE A48

Curtis’ Secret Weapon CONTINUED FROM PAGE A47

the music those cats were making. The frogs were noisy and “hmmmmooo,” could still be heard. But my heart was not pounding in my chest and there was no fear of getting harmed, just fear of losing a calf. I love my supermom cape!

This time, I raised the Secret Weapon up with both hands and pointed it out towards the pasture. Instantly I could make out Snort, our horse with an attitude, as she looked up at me as if to say, “Really lady?!!!” I scanned the outer pasture where the pairs were and saw multiple pairs of eyes looking up at me from an obvious laying position. No hmmmmooo out there. Then I scanned the other half of our front pasture where there were three “heavy” cows still waiting to have their babies and one first-calf heifer who had just calved that morning. “Hmmmmooo,” I heard and saw a cow standing and looking for her calf. I lit up the fences and couldn’t see what might be a calf on the other side. But that new momma must have seen something because she went running over to the side of another cow where I couldn’t see and the hmmmmooo stopped. I have to assume her calf had made its way over to another big, warm body to sleep by. Mystery solved.

To fully enjoy the moment and the power of the Secret Weapon, I continued to scan the pastures. I looked for the cats, who were obviously enjoying the evening. I saw another cat running up the lane. I saw the neighbors across the road had left the Wall Street Journal out on his kitchen table, oh! OOPS! Probably not the best place to shine the equivalence of a lighthouse in a hand-held device at 1:30 in the morning.

That was probably a pretty good time to get back in the house. They would think it was Curtis anyway. No one gets to handle the Secret Weapon after all! I fumbled my way back to the Secret Weapon stash in the cowboy cave and put things back where they should be. This time I went to bed trying not to wake Curtis up.

The night was quiet again. All is well. Looks like I am still picking up nails. And I would do it all again.

“Laying it down since 1990”

A blonde went to the appliance store sale and found a bargain. “I would like to buy this TV,” she told the salesman.

“Sorry, we don’t sell to blondes,” he replied.

She hurried home and dyed her hair, then came back and again told the salesman “I would like to buy this TV.” “Sorry, we don’t sell to blondes,” he replied.

“Darn, he recognized me,” she thought. She went for a complete disguise this time, haircut and new color, new outfit, big sunglasses, then waited a few days before she again approached the salesman. “I would like to buy this TV.” Sorry, we don’t sell to blondes,” he replied. Frustrated, she exclaimed “How do you know I’m a blonde?”

“Because that’s a microwave,” he replied.

The Farmer and The City Slicker

The driver, a young man in an Armani suit, Gucci shoes, Ray Ban sunglasses and YSL tie, leans out the window and asks the cowboy, “If I tell you exactly how many cows and calves you have in your herd, will you give me a calf?”

The farmer looks at the man, obviously a city slicker, then looks at his peacefully grazing herd and calmly answers, “Sure, Why not?” The farmer thinks it over, it’s a big herd, so he accepts the bet.

The city slicker parks his car, whips out his Dell notebook computer, connects it to his cell phone, and surfs to a NASA page on the Internet, where he calls up a GPS satellite navigation system to get an exact fix on his location. From there he feeds the data to another NASA satellite that scans the area in an ultra-high-resolution photo.

Within seconds he receives an email on his Smart phone that the image has been processed and the data stored. He then accesses a MS-SQL database through an ODBC connected Excel spreadsheet with email on his phone and, after a few minutes, receives a response. Finally, he prints out a full-color, 150-page report on his hi-tech, miniaturized HP LaserJet printer and finally turns to the farmer and says, ‘You have exactly 1,423 cows’.

The farmer is astonished because the city slicker’s figure is exactly correct. He says, ‘OK, I’m a man of my word, take a cow.’ The investment city slicker selects one of the animals and begins to walk away.

‘Wait,’ yells the farmer, ‘Let me have a chance to get even.

Double or nothing that I can guess your exact occupation.’

The city slicker agrees readily.

‘You are a Congressman for the U.S. Government,’ says the farmer.

‘Good grief!’ splutters the city slicker, ‘You are exactly right, tell me, how did you deduce that?’

“No guessing required.’ answered the farmer. ‘You showed up here even though nobody called you; you want to get paid for an answer I already knew, to a question I never asked.

You tried to show me how much smarter than me you are; and you don’t know a thing about cows. ‘Now give me back my dog.’

Lentils could be best cash crop in 2016 in western ND

by Sue Roesler, Farm & Ranch Guide The buzz is all about lentils, one of the few crops that can put cash in a producer’s pocket in 2016 - but there are limitations to growing it.

Shana Forster, North Dakota State University Extension specialist in cropping systems at North Central Research Extension Center south of Minot, N.D., said export markets are favoring lentils.

“In India, families eat lentils at every meal,” Forster said, speaking to producers in Regent for the Taylor/Regent Farm Institute.

India has been in a drought, so will be looking to import lentils, while Australia has had a “tough year,” which will limit their opportunity to export, according to Forster.

“Many countries will be looking to import and will need to find lentils elsewhere,” she said.

On the downside, Canada plans to increase lentil acreage this spring due to the increase in prices, she added.

Last year, lentils brought producers more than 30 cents per pound depending on the market class.

There are many classes of lentils available, from small green Eston-type, medium green Richlea, to small reds, and everything in between. Most are grown on contract, so check with your elevator or processor first, such as Bowman’s Paulson Premium Seed or Williston’s AGT Foods, formerly United Pulse Trading.

Lentil seed can be hard to find, and many producers keep their seed and use it every year. With Canada increasing lentil acreage, a lot of the seed normally sold to the U.S., “won’t be coming down here,” Forster said.

While producers do use bin-run lentil seed, with the exception of PVP protected and Clearfield lentils, doing so may not always bring the best results, she said.

In one region of northwestern North Dakota, some producers had been using the same seed source for many years.

Last year, they started noticing some “off-type lentils” that eventually grew taller than the other plants in the field.

The plants turned out to be a type of vetch, which would obviously be unacceptable to lentil markets, she said. “Vetch looks very similar to lentil, and the seed looks just like lentil in color,” Forster said. She suspects the vetch may have been in a cover crop mix or as a small weed problem in a field.

The vetch continued to propagate with continued use of the same seed source. The vetch is more competitive than lentil and the population of vetch continued to increase after each year.”You have to be careful with bin-run seed,” she said.

Clearfield lentils brought an average of 2,453 pounds across the NDSU RECs that conducted lentil variety trials, while conventional lentils averaged about 2,000 pounds across all market classes, she said.

“The highest yielding lentil across all locations conducting variety trials in 2015 was Avondale,” Forster said. However, Avondale seed is in short supply.

Other popular lentils include CDC Redberry, a small red; CDC Richlea, a medium-seeded cultivar with yellow cotyledons and a green seed coat; and CDC Viceroy, a small-seeded green popular in the northwestern region.

Growing lentils for the first time takes some extra steps, but it can be done.

Forster recommends to always soil test first, especially looking at the phosphorus levels. Phosphorus is important for nodule growth and overall plant development.

In addition, producers should double inoculate the field, if the field has never had pulse crops growing there before, Forster said. For fields with a history of pea and/or lentil, a single inoculation is enough.

“We need to make sure the proper rhizobium strain is used in order for the plant to form symbiotic relationships with the bacteria, which will then result in the ability to fix nitrogen,” she said.

Inoculants are living organisms, so proper handling and storage is vital.

Fertilizing lentil ground is similar to field pea, according to Forster. “Too much nitrogen will inhibit nitrogen fixation,” she said, adding 20 pounds of N/acre is enough but phosphorus and potassium may be needed.

If the rhizobia are actively fixing nitrogen, producers can check by pulling up a plant and slicing open a nodule.

“The nodule will appear bright pink, almost like it is bleeding,” she said.

Forster recommends banding fertilizer, not broadcasting.

Weed competition can reduce vigor and yield of lentils, and planting lentil into weedy fields should be avoided. “The first thing you may notice about a field of growing lentil is CONTINUED ON PAGE A60

the many weeds growing,” she added.

Clearfield lentils, tolerant to Beyond herbicide, will do a good job of cleaning up fields if certain weed species are present, but new seed has to be purchased every year, she said.

Lentils are sensitive to many herbicides, making Clearfields a possible choice.

“There are not many in-crop herbicides that can be used on lentils,” Forster said. She recommends producers read the North Dakota Weed Control Guide to find out exactly what can and cannot be used.

A trial by Brian Jenks, NDSU weed specialist, on herbicide injury to lentils showed seeding rates made a difference.

On Aug. 2, after seeding 12 plants per square feet and incurring 15 percent herbicide injury, lentils yielded 799 pounds. However, after seeding 18 plants per square feet and incurring 20 percent herbicide injury, lentils yielded 1,336 pounds.

“Increasing the seeding rate increased yields when there was injury from herbicides,” Forster said. Depending on previous herbicide use, lentils may not be able to be seeded for 18 or even 24 months following that herbicide application, she said. Lentils should be seeded early, with maturity occurring in about 90 to 100 days, depending on growing conditions and variety grown.

The crop should not be planted in waterlogged, weedy or saline fields.

“However, lentils have tolerance to light frost, and are somewhat drought tolerant,” Forster said.

Seeding rates can be important, increasing yields, Forster said. The recommendation is 18 plants per square foot or 785,000 plants per acre.

Lentils do suffer from many foliar diseases, and it is not uncommon to find multiple issues in the fields. “Not all fungicides work on the same diseases,” she said.

Some of the more common lentil diseases are ascochyta blight, anthacnose, and sclerotinia. “Scouting for diseases and insects is important,” Forster said.

Many insects can affect lentils including grasshoppers, cutworms, aphids, lygus bugs, and wireworms. The crop is indeterminate, which means it will continue to stay green and flower, which makes it difficult to decide when to harvest, she said. A desiccant is applied to the crop in order to aid with harvest. “When should we dessicate? Storage moisture for lentils should be around 14 percent moisture,” Forster said.

Producers asked Forster if winter lentils could be grown here in North Dakota.

NDSU Hettinger Research Center agronomist John Rickertsen said he grew both winter peas and winter lentils when he worked in northern South Dakota. “Lentils grew better than peas, but neither did really well,” Rickertsen said.

Forster added that a lot of snow cover is needed for a winter lentil and pea to be successful.

Last year, about 160,000 acres of lentils were planted in North Dakota, most in the northwest, while Montana producers planted about 230,000 acres of lentils.

Eating Grass

One afternoon a lawyer was riding in his limousine when he saw two men along the road-side eating grass.

Disturbed, he ordered his driver to stop and got out to investigate.

He asked one man, “Why are you eating grass?”

“We don’t have any money for food,” the poor man replied. “We have to eat grass.”

“Well, then, you can come with me to my house and I’ll feed you,” the lawyer said.

“But sir, I have a wife and two children with me. They are over there, under that tree.”

“Bring them along,” the lawyer replied.

Turning to the other poor man he stated, “You may come with us, also.”

The second man, in a pitiful voice, then said, “But sir, I also have a wife and SIX children with me!”

“Bring them all as well,” the lawyer answered.

They all entered the car, which was no easy task, even for a car as large as the limousine was.

Once under way, one of the poor fellows turned to the lawyer and said, “Sir, you are too kind.”

“Thank you for taking all of us with you.

The lawyer replied, “Glad to do it. You’ll really love my place. The grass is almost a foot high.”

Maximize your best asset – Your employees

By B. Lynn Gordon, Assistant Professor & SDSU Extension Agricultural Leadership Specialist There never seems to be a slow time around a farm or ranch. The to do list is always there, and as a result farm owners and managers who oversee employees and or work alongside family members sometimes can overlook how important it is to allocate time to enhance the skills and abilities of those who work for you. There are great opportunities year round, such as tours, field days and seminars employers can take advantage of as continued educational opportunities for your employees. Recognizing you believe in helping them succeed builds pride and commitment to your business along with increasing their abilities.

Four Benefits of Continued Education 1. Reduces employee turnover. Employees who do not feel properly trained for their job, or are unhappy being asked to do something they weren’t aware would become a regular task, or was not in their job description, can result in employee turnover. When one employee leaves, this adds stress to others to pick up the slack. Once the employee is hired, keep the lines of communication open so they feel comfortable speaking up about a task or role they don’t feel completely trained to conduct.

2. New technology requires new skills. The high infusion of technology into all aspects of agriculture is demanding a more skilled workforce. Recent graduates and hires may be recently trained on these technologies, but your longer term employees might be at a disadvantage if you expect them to achieve certain goals without providing them access to new skills. Training can be costly, as it’s downtime for the employees, but fortunately with new agriculture technology comes more access to trainings via webinars, podcasts etc.

Traveling to on-site trainings is not always required, however, face-face trainings offered through Extension or other organizations provide a great opportunity for networking with others in attendance as well as learning from the trainers.

3. Impacts safety. Improperly educated and trained employees, can result in increased accidents, injuries and down-time. If accidents are prevented due to proper training where employees may receive certifications or documentation of completed required trainings. In some cases this may impact insurance premiums and the marketing potential of certain products your operation is producing.

4. Updating job descriptions. Depending on the size and type of your agricultural operation you may or may not have written job descriptions for your employees. More and more operations are developing descriptions to assist with recruitment, clarifying duties, documentation, etc. Even extended family operations are moving towards more job descriptions to clarify roles. When training is identified for a position that is the perfect time to update the job description before one forgets rather than try and remember when it’s time to fill the job in the future.

Maximizing your greatest asset. What a better way to instill positivity and motivation in your employees, but to let them know that you are 100% behind them by investing time in training and keeping their skills up to pace with technology or a new enterprise you have added. The U.S. Small Business Administration website discusses, ‘Maximizing your greatest resource – Employee Training’ and emphasizes confidence comes from ability, and results in productivity.

Two coats

This blonde decides one day that she is sick and tired of all these blonde jokes and how all blondes are perceived as stupid, so she decides to show her husband that blondes really are smart.

While her husband is off at work, she decides that she is going to paint a couple of rooms in the house.

The next day, right after her husband leaves for work, she gets down to the task at hand. Her husband arrives home at 5:30 and smells the distinctive smell of paint.

He walks into the living room and finds his wife lying on the floor in a pool of sweat. He notices that she is wearing a ski jacket and a fur coat at the same time. He goes over and asks her if she is ok. She replies yes.

He asks what she is doing. She replies that she wanted to prove to him that not all blonde women are dumb and she wanted to do it by painting the house. He then asks her why she has a ski jacket and a fur coat on.

She replies that she was reading the directions on the paint can and they said, FOR BEST RESULTS, PUT ON TWO COATS.

Maintaining USDA compliance in organic system

By Joyce Trevithick, Area Agronomist, Natural Resource Conservation Service As the Area Agronomist for the Great Falls Natural Resource Conservation Area, a portion of my job is to work with the Highly Erodible Land program and the HEL compliance program. The Food Security Act of 1985 established the National Food Security Act Manual (NFSAM), which sets forth the purposes and objectives of the Highly Erodible Land Conservation (HELC) and Wetland Conservation (WC).

I work with producers and field offices to assist producers who are USDA participants to maintain conservation compliance. The last few years have seen the number of organic producers increase while also bringing about an increase in compliance issues.

The Food Security Act of 1985 assigned specific responsibilities to the Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) in the administration of the Highly Erodible Land and Wetland Conservation. This includes making Highly Erodible Land (HEL) determinations and Wetland (WC) determinations on land owned and/or operated by a USDA program participant. Any land, owned or operated by a USDA participant, which was cropped at the time of the Food Security Act, had an HELC determination completed

by NRCS between 1986 and 1992 and a written conservation plan. Any land which has since been broken from native sod is required to have an HELC determination completed and a conservation plan approved by NRCS prior to certifying a crop at the Farm Service Agency.

There are several factors brought into HELC determinations. These are factors which a producer does not have much control over. The soil erodibility index is one factor used to determine whether a soil map unit is highly erodible. The potential erodibility (PE) of a soil takes into consideration the climate and the susceptibility of the soil to wind erosion.

Another factor is the Soil Loss Tolerance (T) of that particular soil. The (T) factor is the maximum amount of soil loss in tons per acre per year that can be tolerated and still permit a high level of crop productivity to be sustained economically and indefinitely. This number ranges from 1-5, with most of central Montana soils being 2, 3 or 5T soils. The lower the number the more fragile that soil is. This number can be found on the soil survey of every county in Montana.

The Potential Erodibility (PE) is then divided by the soil loss tolerance (T) of the soil map unit. If that number is greater than 8 the land is considered to be Highly Erodible (HEL). If it is less than 8 then the soil is considered NonHighly Erodible (NHEL). Soil loss of the conservation system on an HEL field broke out after 1985 must be less than the soil loss tolerance (T) of the predominant soil on that field or (2T) 2 times T if previously cropped (before 1985).

The original plans on cropland were written between 1985 and 1992, after the Food Security Act. NRCS used the current cropping system on the ground at that time to determine the erosion rate of the system.

This was still mostly strip/fallow systems before no-till became common. The strips were 20 -30 rods wide and were developed throughout the 1900’s to minimize wind erosion in eastern Montana. Tillage was common and for years farmers controlled wind erosion with the use of narrow strips.

As chemical weed control became prevalent, Montana saw more “block” farming where standing stubble and residue on the soil surface helped to minimize the effect of the wind.

A Highly Erodible Land determination does not mean the land cannot be farmed. It just means a producer must be farming in such a way that wind erosion is reduced to a “tolerable” level. If a field loses the top soil, yield and profitability will be reduced.

The topsoil holds most of the soil organic matter, moisture and nutrients, creating habitat for soil biology to flourish and roots to grow.

The NFSAM Part 510.11 states: C. Filing Form AD-1026 (1) Persons who request benefits on land that they own or operate that is subject to HELC and WC provisions are required to file Form AD-1026 certification at the FSA county office.

(2) This form also serves as a person’s certification of applying a conservation plan and/or use of a conservation system as well as compliance with the wetland provisions.

As the above states, producers who receive benefits from USDA must be applying a conservation system which meets HELC compliance. If found out of compliance with the Highly Erodible Land program, a producer may lose their USDA benefits.

CONTINUED ON PAGE B7

Maintaining USDA compliance in organic system CONTINUED FROM PAGE B6

This includes any CRP, Disaster payments, Farm Operating Loans, EQIP, CSP, RMA (crop insurance) and other benefits included under USDA programs.

“A conservation system designed to meet the HELC requirements is a combination of one or more conservation measures or management practices.

An approved HELC conservation plan is a document that describes the application and maintenance of an approved conservation system.” (NFSAM, 512 (A)) It is more challenging to maintain HELC compliance when the fields are being tilled as in organic systems but there are practices that can be used to minimize wind erosion. The strip cropping system we were familiar with before no-till is one of the most successful ways. In our organic systems, the strips are still a viable solution to the conservation compliance issue. HELC determinations are made on a fieldby-field basis. If a field has 33% HEL soils or 50+ acres of HEL soils then the entire field is considered HEL and must have a conservation system in place which meets HELC requirements if the producer is receiving USDA benefits.

The unsheltered distance across a field makes a huge difference in the erosion rate within a field.

The erosion tools used by NRCS take into account the distance across a field in the prevailing wind direction at the most erosive periods of the year (typically Nov-Feb in north central Montana).

The longer this distance is the more likely soil particles are to begin moving. Shorter distances with vegetation breaking up the wind force will limit the amount of soil being lost to wind erosion. If a tilled field has only 200 – 300 feet of unsheltered distance, there is much less chance of excessive wind erosion than a field that has 1000 of unsheltered distance. Wider equipment encourages farmers to have wider strips, but producers need to consider the cover on their fields and their tillage practices.

Another issue to consider is the smoothness of a field.

The smoother the field the easier it is for wind to pick of soil particles and carry them across the field. Consider the difference between the look of a field after a cultivator with spikes goes through it and a disk. The disk will leave it smoother with smaller soil aggregate. This is particularly risky going into the winter.

Residue on the surface will limit soil erosion. Dead or living residue helps keep soil in place when we are dealing with wind and water erosion. A cover crop can be planted at any time to help hold soil in place and also reduce weed competition. Having residue on the surface going into the winter erosive period will help a produce maintain compliance with USDA programs.

If you have concerns feel free to come into your local NRCS field office and talk to one of the conservationists there. You can also email me at joyce.trevithick@mt.usda. gov. I am always glad to work with producers and help them maintain compliance.

Joyce Trevithick, in addition to being the NRCS Area Agronomist, is a MOA member with degrees from Montana State University in Agronomy, Animal Science and Crop Science.

The Sandwich

An Irishman, a Mexican and a Redneck were doing construction work on the scaffolding of a tall building. They were eating lunch and the Irishman said, “Corned beef and cabbage! If I get corned beef and cabbage one more time for lunch, I’m going to jump off this building.”

The Mexican opened his lunch box and exclaimed, “Burritos again! If I get burritos one more time, I’m going to jump off too.

“The Redneck opened his lunch and said, “Bologna again.

If I get a bologna sandwich one more time, I’m jumping too.”

Next day the Irishman opens his lunch box, sees corned beef and cabbage and jumps to his death.

The Mexican opens his lunch, sees a burrito and jumps too.

The Redneck opens his lunch, sees the bologna and jumps to his death as well.

At the funeral, the Irishman’s wife is weeping. She says, “If I’d known how really tired he was of corned beef and cabbage, I never would have given it to him again!”

The Mexican’s wife also weeps and says,”I could have given him tacos or enchiladas! I didn’t realize he hated burritos so much.

“Everyone turned and stared at the Redneck’s wife. “Hey, don’t look at me,” she said. “He makes his own lunch.”

A Texas farmer goes to Australia for a vacation. There he meets an Aussie farmer and gets talking. The Aussie shows off his big wheat field and the Texan says, “Oh! We have wheat fields that are at least twice as large”.

Then they walk around the ranch a little and the Aussie shows off his herd of cattle. The Texan immediately says, “ We have longhorns that are at least twice as large as your cows”.

The conversation has, meanwhile, almost died when the Texan sees a herd of kangaroos hopping through the field.

He asks, “And what are those”?

The Aussie asks with an incredulous look, “Don’t you have any grasshoppers in Texas”?

Take your taste buds on a tropical fruit trip

By Julie Garden-Robinson, Food and Nutrition Specialist, NDSU Extension Service “Try this miracle fruit,” our tour leader said as he plucked a few red berries from a shrublike plant in Costa Rica and began peeling the outer skin.

I watched carefully as he peeled the small red berry to reveal a white inner seed. We all began swirling the seeds in our mouths like cough drops.

“When you taste this lime, it will taste sweet,” he added. I was skeptical but feeling adventuresome. Maybe the altitude was affecting my reasoning ability.

The seed really didn’t taste like anything. However, when I tasted the lime, the typically mouth-puckering fruit was as sweet as candy.

I decided I would do some investigation about what causes this change. The miracle fruit (that’s really its name) affects our taste buds and perception of sweet and sour because it contains a “glycoprotein” (sugar-protein). The glycoprotein does not change the acidity of the food.

Miracle fruit was just one of the many tropical fruits I tried. In fact, I really had not thought too much about the origin of some of the fruits that we can buy at times in our local grocery stores.

Costa Rica produces a wide range of fruits, including bananas, mangos, pineapples and papaya. We were served plates of tropical fruit or glasses of fresh-squeezed fruit juice at almost every meal, along with plenty of beans and rice.

I really never had thought about what type of shrub or tree produces some of these fruits, so that was eye-opening.

Some of these fruits grow on bushes, close to the ground, while others grew high in the trees.

I admit I wasn’t sure where to look when someone said, “Look at all the mangos!” They were high in a tree above a house. I also noted that tropical houseplants such as the foot-tall ones I have at home towered over my head when they were in their natural element in Costa Rica. Amaryllis plants grew like wild plants on the slopes of hills.

Here’s a little quiz. Name the fruit that I am describing with the clues listed below. These are all available in Midwestern grocery stores.

Question 1. This popular fruit grows on a tall tree. Each fruit is considered a “finger,” and a group of the fruits is called a “hand.” They are inexpensive and readily available.

The creamy white interior is rich in potassium, which we need for muscle contraction and nerve impulses. It provides complex carbohydrates and serves as a quick source of fuel in its own biodegradable yellow wrapper. If you have a pet monkey, you might want to watch these fruits closely. What is it?

Question 2. This fruit is similar in appearance but is less sweet than its “cousin” described in Question 1. It is starchy, with a neutral taste similar to a potato. It often is served with a sweet glaze. What is it?

Question 3. This fruit has sweet and sour flavors and is greenish-yellow, usually with five distinctive ridges. It can be eaten raw or used in cooking. When you slice it open, its shape may remind you of the nighttime sky. What is it?

Question 4. This tropical fruit grows on trees up to 130 feet tall. It is oval to round, with a smooth outer skin that ripens from green to golden yellow to red, depending on the type. It is a good source of vitamins A and C, potassium, and several other vitamins and minerals. (Hint: I mentioned it earlier.) What is it?

Question 5. This fruit grows on waxy, long leaves, sometimes fairly close to the ground. If you add this raw fruit to Jello, the natural enzyme bromelain will cause the gelatin to become watery. Use the canned chunks or tidbits in gelatin salads. This fruit is an excellent source of vitamins C and A, along with minerals. What is it?

How did you do? The answers are 1. banana; 2. plantain; 3. star fruit or carambola; 4. mango; 5. pineapple.

We also learned about guava, nanzi, guava or “cas,” anona, guanabana, papaya and several other fruits I never had encountered. One smelled like rotten cheese, so I politely declined the opportunity to taste it after seeing the scowling faces of those who took a bite.

We all have our own “local foods,” depending on the climate and growing season. We grow many fruits and vegetables in our area, but we also import many, which adds variety to all of our diets. Fruits and vegetables of all types have many health benefits.

We all should aim to fill half of our plates with fruits and vegetables, according to current dietary guidelines. Adults, CONTINUED ON PAGE B10

Bubba was bragging to his boss one day, “You know, I know everyone there is to know. Just name someone, anyone, and I know them.”

Tired of his boasting, his boss called his bluff, “OK, Bubba how about Tom Cruise?”

“Sure, yes, Tom and I are old friends, and I can prove it. “ So Bubba and his boss fly out to Hollywood and knock on Tom Cruise’s door, and sure enough, Tom Cruise, shouts, “Bubba! Great to see you! You and your friend come right in and join me for lunch! “ Although impressed, Bubba’s boss is still skeptical. After they leave Cruise’s house, he tells Bubba that he thinks Bubba’s knowing Cruise was just lucky.

“No, no, just name anyone else,” Bubba says.

“President Clinton,” his boss quickly retorts.

“Yes,” Bubba says, “I know him, let’s fly out to Washington.”

And off they go. At the White House, Clinton spots Bubba on the tour and motions him and his boss over, saying, “Bubba, what a surprise, I was just on my way to a meeting, but you and your friend come on in and let’s have a cup of coffee first and catch up.” Well, the boss is very shaken by now, but still not totally convinced.

After they leave the White house grounds, he expresses his doubts to Bubba, who again implores him to name anyone else.

“The Pope,” his boss replies. “Sure!” says Bubba.

“My folks are from Poland, and I’ve known the Pope a long time.”

So off they fly to Rome. Bubba and his boss are assembled with the masses in Vatican Square when Bubba says, “This will never work. I can’t catch the Pope’s eye among all these people. Tell you what, I know all the guards so let me just go upstairs and I’ll come out on the balcony with the Pope.” And he disappears into the crowd headed toward the Vatican. Sure enough, half an hour later Bubba emerges with the Pope on the balcony. But by the time Bubba returns, he finds that his boss has had a heart attack and is surrounded by paramedics.

Working his way to his boss’ side, Bubba asks him, “What happened?” His boss looks up and says, “I was doing fine until you and the Pope came out on the balcony and the man next to me said, “Who’s that on the balcony with Bubba?”

The egg and the rose

Did you know that eggshells help rose bushes grow? The nutrients contained in the shells are a great benefit, especially if you crush up the eggshells and deposit them under the surface of the soil, near the bush’s roots. The same applies to water that you’ve used to boil eggs in–when you’re finished cooking, just dump the nutrient-enriched water on your rosebush.

A bumper crop of pocket gophers – Part 2

By Jim Stordahl, Clearwater/Polk County Extension, Minnesota Pocket gophers raise havoc with their burrowing, feeding and creating dirt mounts in hay fields, CRP and road ditches.

Gophers can be a challenge to control; following are several options to control these pesky critters.

Trapping is extremely effective for pocket gopher control in small areas. For effective trapping, the first task is to find the tunnel. The procedure will vary depending on whether traps are set in the main tunnel or in the lateral tunnels.

You may have to experiment with trap type and placement.

Some trappers have success leaving tunnels completely open when they set their traps; others, when they place traps in the main, close off the tunnel completely, and when trapping the lateral, close most of the tunnel with sod or cover the hole with a shingle. Traps can be marked above ground with flags and should be anchored with a stake and wire or chain so a predator does not carry off the catch and the trap.

Trapping is most effective when gophers are pushing up new mounds, generally in spring and fall. If a trap is not visited within 48 hours, move it to a new location. Leave traps set in a tunnel system even if you have trapped a gopher in spring and early summer, when gophers are most likely to share their quarters.

Some predator odors have been tested as gopher repellents and show some promise. Commercially available sonic devises are claimed to repel pocket gophers. There is, however, no scientific supporting evidence. The plants known as caper spurge, gopher purge, or mole plant (Euphorbia lathyrus) and the castor-oil plant (Ricinus communis) have been promoted as gopher repellents, but there is no evidence of their effectiveness. In addition, these are not recommended as they are both poisonous to humans and pets.

Several rodenticides currently are federally registered and available for pocket gopher control. The most widely used and evaluated is strychnine alkaloid (0.25 to 0.5% active ingredients) on grain baits. There is some concern that pocket gophers may consume sub-lethal doses of strychnine and then develop bait shyness. Strychnine acts very rapidly and gophers sometimes die within an hour after consuming a lethal dose. If the label has directions for use with a burrow builder machine, then it is a Restricted Use Pesticide. Zinc phosphide (2%) is less effective than strychnine for gopher control. Anticoagulants now are available for pocket gopher control. Currently, the only federally registered products are chlorophacinone and diphacinone. Before making plans to control this way, but sure to check to see if you need a Private Pesticide Applicator License to purchase these products.

To poison pocket gophers, the bait must be placed in their tunnel systems by hand or by a special machine known as a burrow builder. Underground baiting for pocket gopher control with strychnine presents minimal hazards to non-target wildlife, either by direct consumption of bait or by eating

##### Caulking can be tricky business–it’s hard to get perfect lines, but if you try smoothing them down with your finger, it sticks, creating an even uglier sight. When you need to smooth down caulk, try using an ice cube instead. The cold will help set the line and it won’t stick to the ice.

poisoned gophers. Poison bait spilled on the surface of the ground may be hazardous to ground-feeding birds such as mourning doves.

The main drawback to grain baits is their high susceptibility to decomposition in the damp burrows. A new product that contains a grain mixture plus the anticoagulant, diphacinone, in a paraffin block not only increases the bait’s effective life, but also makes it possible for more than one gopher to be killed with the same bait. Once the resident gopher ingests the toxicant and dies, it is typical for a neighboring gopher to take over the tunnel system and thus to ingest the stilltoxic bait.

Bait can be placed in a burrow system by hand, using a special hand-operated bait dispenser probe, or by making an opening to the burrow system with a probe. Placing bait in the burrow by hand is more time-consuming than either of the probing methods, but there is no doubt that the bait is delivered to the tunnel system.

A variation to the hand probe delivering bait is one that delivers propane and then ignites it in the tunnel. This system offers another level of danger if too much propane is delivered before ignition!

The key to efficient and effective use of these methods is locating the burrow system. The main burrow generally is found 12 to 18 inches away from the plug on the fan-shaped mounds. If you use a trowel or shovel to locate the main burrow, dig 12 to 18 inches away from the plug. When the main burrow is located, place a rounded tablespoon (15 ml) of bait in each direction. Place the bait well into each tunnel system with a long-handled spoon and then block off each tunnel with sod clumps and soil. Bait blocks are also applied in this manner. The reason for closing the burrow is that pocket gophers are attracted to openings in their system with the intent of closing them with soil. Thus, if there is a detectable opening near the placement of poison, the pocket gopher may cover the bait with soil as it plugs the opening.

Pocket gophers normally travel all portions of their burrow system during a day.

Mechanical Burrow Builder. The burrow builder delivers bait underground mechanically, so large areas can be economically treated for pocket gopher control. It is tractordrawn and is available in hydraulically operated units or three-point hitch models.

Signs

A farmer lived on a quiet rural highway. But, as time went by, the traffic slowly built up at an alarming rate. The traffic was so heavy and so fast that his chickens were being run over at a rate of three to six a day. So one day he called the sheriff’s office and said, “You’ve got to do something about all of these people driving so fast and killing all of my chickens.” “What do you want me to do?” asked the sheriff.

“I don’t care, just do something about those drivers!” So the next day he had the county workers go out and erect a sign that said: SLOW: SCHOOL CROSSING Three days later the farmer called the sheriff and said, “You’ve got to do something about these drivers. The ‘school crossing’ sign seems to make them go faster.” So, again, the sheriff sends out the county workers and they put up a new sign: SLOW: CHILDREN AT PLAY And that really sped them up. So the farmer called and called and called everyday for three weeks. Finally, he asked the sheriff, “Your signs are doing no good. Is it all right for me to put up my own sign?” The sheriff told him, “Sure thing, put up your own sign.” He was going to let the farmer do just about anything in order to have him stop calling. Well, the sheriff got no more calls from the farmer. Three weeks after the farmers last call, the sheriff decided to call him. “How’s the problem with those drivers. Did you put up your sign?” “Oh, I sure did. And not one chicken has been killed since then. I’ve got to go. I’m very busy.” And he hung up the phone. The sheriff thought to himself, “I’d better go to that farmer’s house and look at that sign... There might be something there that WE could use to slow down drivers.” So the sheriff drove out to the farmer’s house, and he saw the sign. It was a whole sheet of plywood. And written in large yellow letters were the words: SLOW: NUDIST COLONY

USDA offers targeted farm loan funding

USDA Farm Service Agency (FSA) State Executive Director (SED) Bruce Nelson reminds Montana producers that FSA offers targeted farm ownership and farm operating loans to assist underserved applicants as well as beginning farmers and ranchers.

“Each year, a portion of FSA’s loan funds are set aside to lend to targeted underserved and beginning farmers and ranchers,” Nelson said. “Farming and livestock production are capital intensive business ventures and FSA is committed to helping producers start, expand and maintain their agricultural operations.”

USDA defines underserved applicants as a group whose members have been subjected to racial, ethnic, or gender prejudice because of their identity as members of the group without regard to their individual qualities. For farm loan program purposes, targeted underserved groups are women, African Americans, American Indians and Alaskan Natives, Hispanics and Asians and Pacific Islanders.

Underserved or beginning farmers and ranchers who cannot obtain commercial credit from a bank can apply for either FSA direct loans or guaranteed loans. Direct loans are made to applicants by FSA. Guaranteed loans are made by lending institutions who arrange for FSA to guarantee the loan.

FSA can guarantee up to 95 percent of the loss of principal and interest on a loan. The FSA guarantee allows lenders to make agricultural credit available to producers who do not meet the lender’s normal underwriting criteria.

“During fiscal year 2015, Montana FSA obligated $45.2 million in loans to assist 383 targeted underserved and beginning producers,” Nelson said.

The direct and guaranteed loan program provides for two types of loans: farm ownership loans and farm operating loans.

Farm ownership loan funds may be used to purchase or enlarge a farm or ranch, purchase easements or rights of way needed in the farm’s operation, build or improve buildings such as a dwelling or barn, promote soil and water conservation and development and pay closing costs.

Farm operating loan funds may be used to purchase livestock, poultry, farm equipment, fertilizer, and other materials necessary to operate a successful farm. Operating loan funds can also be used for family living expenses, refinancing debts under certain conditions, paying salaries for hired farm laborers, installing or improving water systems for home, livestock, or irrigation use and other similar improvements.

In addition to customary farm operating and ownership loans, FSA now offers Microloans through the direct loan program. The focus of Microloans is on the financing needs of small, beginning farmer, niche and non-traditional farm operations. Microloans are available for both ownership and operating finance needs. To learn more about microloans, visit www.fsa.usda.gov/microloans.

Repayment terms for direct operating loans depend on the collateral securing the loan and usually run from one to seven years. Financing for direct farm ownership loans cannot exceed 40 years. Interest rates for direct loans are set periodically according to the Government’s cost of borrowing. Guaranteed loan terms and interest rates are set by the lender.

To qualify as a beginning producer, the individual or entity must meet the eligibility requirements outlined for direct or guaranteed loans. Additionally, individuals and all entity members must have operated a farm for less than 10 years.

Applicants must materially or substantially participate in the operation.

For farm ownership purposes, the applicant must not own a farm greater than 30 percent of the average size farm in the county at the time of application. All direct farm ownership applicants must have participated in the business operations of a farm for at least three years out of the last 10 years prior to the date the application is submitted. If the applicant is an entity, all members must be related by blood or marriage and all entity members must be eligible beginning farmers.

For more information on FSA’s farm loan programs and targeted underserved and beginning farmer guidelines, visit www.fsa.usda.gov/farmloans or contact your local FSA Office. To find your local FSA office, visit http://offices.usda. gov. ##### To own a bit of ground, to scratch it with a hoe, to plant seeds and watch their renewal of life - this is the commonest delight of the race, the most satisfactory thing a man can do.

Freezer meals speed summertime cooking

By Julie Garden-Robinson, Food and Nutrition Specialist, NDSU Extension Service As I was driving with the window open in my vehicle, the scent of freshly mown grass reminded me that summer is almost here. A little later, my nose detected another sensory delight of spring: the aroma of grilling food.

Although you might be expecting an article about grilling with that opener, I’d like to take us back to winter temperatures. Besides using your grill, how about using your freezer to store some homemade ready-to-cook or ready-to-heatand-eat freezer meals?

Many people like to ease up on time in the kitchen when the weather allows us to enjoy our gardens and other outdoor activities. Freezer meals can help.

Freezer meals are the product of a term known as freezer cooking. The basic concept of freezer cooking is that you spend one day preparing a large quantity of meals that will feed you or your family for two weeks up to two months.

A wide range of freezer meal recipes are available on the internet, but not all of them are equally nutritious. Look for recipes that provide nutrition information.

Meals are prepared assembly-style, packaged, labeled and frozen. Depending on how many freezer meals you prepared, you shouldn’t have to prepare the main entrée again for the next two weeks or a month.

You can save time and potentially money, plus have control over the ingredients in your foods, if you make your own freezer meals. Assembly-style processing saves you time; instead of chopping one onion for each recipe as you need it, you might chop 10 onions at one time and be able to use them for multiple recipes. Even better: You only have to clean up once.

When you are preparing several recipes at once, you may be able to take advantage of buying ingredients in bulk. Bulk purchasing typically provides a lower price per unit on items when you buy them in large quantities.

Freezer storage makes meals convenient. Simply remove a package the night before to thaw in the refrigerator and reheat or cook for your evening meal the next day. Additionally, when you have easy-to-prepare meals on hand, you are less likely to order take-out or visit the fast-food drive through when you get hungry.

If you never have done any freezer cooking, start small and gradually increase. Try a few meals that you know your family will eat, or try a plan for two weeks’ worth of meals if you feel ready. This should take you only about half a day or less to prepare, and the meals can fit in a refrigerator-top freezer.

Remember that certain foods will not reheat well after being frozen. Lettuce, watermelon and tomatoes will become limp. Cooked potato chunks will become gritty. Fully cooked pasta may be mushy. Gravies and some dairy products such as cream or milk will separate when frozen. Cooked eggs may become rubbery.

Even if you have a small freezer, freezer meals still can be an option for you. By getting creative and freezing meals flat, you can store about two weeks’ worth of meals in a refrigerator-top freezer. Once meals are frozen, you can reorganize them so they are stacked vertically like a bookshelf if your freezer allows.

Avoid freezer-burn by using a freezer zip-top plastic bag and making sure to remove as much air as possible before sealing. Storing food in smaller quantities allows it to freeze more quickly and gives you the ability to take out only what you need.

Use a permanent marker to label all food that goes into the freezer so you know what it is. Also include a use-by date (most food will stay good for two to three months from the date it was prepared) and any preparation steps needed to cook the food. That way you don’t have to dig for the recipe when you are ready to cook.

Arrange containers in a single layer so air can circulate and help the food freeze quickly. The faster the food freezes, the better the quality will be when it thaws. Defrost food in the microwave or refrigerator. Thawing foods at room temperature increases the risk of bacterial contamination.

We recently completed a freezer meals handout with several recipes incorporating “pulse foods” (lentils, dry peas and chickpeas) in honor of the International Year of Pulses in 2016. Pulse foods are good sources of fiber, protein, and many vitamins and minerals. See “On the Pulse of Healthful Eating: Making Freezer Meals With Lentils, Chickpeas and Split Peas” (at https://www.ag.ndsu.edu/pubs/yf/foods/ CONTINUED ON PAGE B15

Farmer George

George, the farmer, had so many children that he ran out of names. So he started calling his kids after something around his farm.

It was the first day of school and the teacher asked each child their name. When he got to one of Farmer George’s sons, the boy replied, ‘Wagon Wheel.’

The teacher said, ‘I need your real name boy, to which the lad replied, ‘It’s Wagon Wheel, sir.... really.’

The teacher, rather annoyed rejoined, ‘All right young man, take yourself right down to the Principal’s office this minute.’

The youngster pushed himself out of his chair, turned to his sister and said, ‘C’mon, ‘Chicken Feed’, he ain’t gonna believe you, either.’

Androloma maccullochii is a striking moth. The adult moth has a 10- to 13-mm forewing. The caterpillars feed on fireweed. The image is part of a new website, Insects of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, which features close-up images showcasing the bright colors, delicate features and habitats of regional butterflies and moths, beetles, flies, bees, wasps, ants, sawflies, grasshoppers and other types of insects. Photo courtesy of Robert Peterson.

A Montana State University professor has created a way for people across the state of Montana and beyond to access photos of an often unseen world.

Robert Peterson, professor in MSU’s Department of Land Resources and Environmental Sciences in the College of Agriculture, has created an online collection of his photos showcasing the insect world of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem (GYE).

Peterson hopes the online photobook – which includes more than 120 images taken over a period of 14 years – will be used and appreciated by the public.

“There’s an entire, hidden world beneath our feet that’s not well understood or appreciated,” Peterson said. “Insects are the most abundant and diverse multicellular organisms in the GYE, and they play a vital role in how ecosystems function, but because they are small and people rarely see them close up, they’re overlooked in regard to their importance. This project is an effort to hopefully enhance public appreciation of, and education about, the incredible diversity and beauty of insects in the GYE.” The website, Insects of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, currently features close-up images showcasing the bright colors, delicate features and habitats of regional butterflies and moths, beetles, flies, bees, wasps, ants, sawflies, grasshoppers and other types of insects. Scientific names of the insects are listed, as is brief information about the insects’ anatomy, behavior and habitat.

The GYE includes Yellowstone National Park, comprises 34,375 square miles, and is one of the largest nearly intact temperatezone ecosystems on Earth, according to the U.S. National Park Service. Peterson said at least two out of every three species in an insect within this ecosystem.

“Their diversity and abundance is staggering,” he said. “Insects aren’t viewed as charismatic as some of the large mammals in the region, but they are critical to any healthy ecosystem because they serve as pollinators that stimulate plant diversity, they’re an important food source for other organisms, they recycle nutrients, and are an crucial foundation for watershed health.”

The project includes a Facebook and Twitter page as well, where Peterson posts pictures and descriptions of insects. Photographs of insects can be added indefinitely because there are thousands of species in the GYE, giving scientists plenty of insects to photograph, according to Peterson. Eventually, he hopes to incorporate images from other photographers and encourage novice entomologists to explore, identify and share findings.

“The ultimate goal is to develop an appreciation, support education and spur an awareness of this hidden world,” he said.

“You don’t have to go to far-flung places to study insects; there’s a jungle right outside your backdoor. I want people to explore and – if they’re inclined – to contribute to the science of discovery.”

By Julie Garden-Robinson, Food and Nutrition Specialist, NDSU Extension Service “Mom, can you bring me a toucan?” my older daughter asked with a grin.

I had been reading a travel guide, and she admired the cover photo of the brightly colored bird with a large beak.

“Sorry, but they will not let me bring you a bird from Costa Rica,” I replied. I could almost imagine it flying around the cabin in the plane.

Our dogs trotted over to where I was standing. I suppose they also wanted me to bring them a live souvenir from Costa Rica, such as a fuzzy three-toed sloth. They would become bored with this new playmate because it is the world’s slowest animal. They might have more fun with one of the energetic monkeys I might encounter.

However, they will not have a new playmate as the result of my travels.

I hope I do not bring home any mosquito bites; Zika virus is a growing issue in South America. Our friendly Extension entomologist gave me some good advice about avoiding mosquito bites: Apply mosquito repellent with at least 20 percent DEET, and wear pants and long-sleeved shirts. Be sure to avoid wearing perfume, which attracts mosquitos.

I can use these helpful tidbits this summer in the Midwest, too.

In preparing for my trip, I visited the public health department and learned a lot about international travel because I am a “newbie” at this. I had my precautionary vaccinations several months ago. In fact, the informational handout warned me to stay away from any wildlife that might bite me.

I’m not going as a tourist. I will be honing my leadership skills and learning more about another culture, it’s food and its agricultural practices.

Costa Rica produces excellent coffee, and I am anxious to enjoy it and potentially save room in my suitcase to bring some home. The country also grows bananas and “cacao” beans used in manufacturing chocolate. With those local foods, I could whip up some chocolate banana bread to have with my coffee. However, I am sure I won’t be baking during the trip.

Beans and rice are staple foods in Costa Rica, and I am ready for a simpler diet by enjoying some of the local cuisine. Beans and rice are inexpensive and nutritious because each food supplies an amino acid the other lacks. Together, they become a complete and nourishing source of protein, carbohydrate, and a variety of vitamins and minerals.

We will be provided with a steady supply of “safe water” as we explore the area. I take safe drinking water for granted, so this will be an ongoing lesson for me. I need to remember to avoid drinking any water while taking a shower and to use safe water when I brush my teeth.

Food safety experts warn us to avoid fruits and vegetables that have been rinsed with potentially unsafe water. I probably will be skipping the leafy greens on this trip, believe it or not. If vegetables are served hot, I am fine. I am bringing my vitamins to fill any nutrition gaps.

I really hope I do not forget any of the rules because I do not want to bring home intestinal bugs. Some types of foodborne illnesses can have lifelong consequences.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (http:// www.CDC.gov) provides several tips for people who are planning international travel. In fact, the CDC has a free “Can I Eat This?” app downloadable from its website. These are a few notes related to food and beverages from the CDC if you ever plan an international adventure: • Have hot food because it is generally safe. Most bacteria are killed by heating to safe temperatures. However, be sure the previously cooked food has not been sitting at lukewarm temperatures all day because sometimes bacteria can produce toxins. The Food and Drug Administration, which provides the guidelines for U.S. food retailers, recommends holding “hot foods” at 135 F or higher.

• Have dry or packaged food, such as bread or crackers.

Bacteria need a certain moisture level to grow.

• Avoid most raw foods (such as leafy vegetables that may have been watered or rinsed with unsafe water).

• Avoid most street vendor foods because the safety standards may be unknown.

• Avoid animal proteins from unfamiliar sources. In some countries, the meat inspection system is not as strict as the U.S. system.

• Have bottled water or canned beverages.

• Be cautious about milk, even if it has been pasteurized

##### Nothing’s worse than having to give a sick child medicine he can’t stand the taste of. To make things a little easier, have him suck on a popsicle for a few minutes before taking the medicine.

The popsicle will not only act as an incentive, it will numb his taste buds a bit, making the medicine easier to swallow.

By Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks Wolf numbers in Montana remain healthy and well above federally-mandated minimums as the fifth and final year of federal oversight of state wolf management comes to an end in May. Montana’s annual wolf report shows a minimum wolf count of 536 wolves in 2015, which is down from 554 in 2014. Included in this number is a minimum number of breeding pairs of 32, which is down from 34 in 2014.

The difference between the overall minimum wolf counts in 2014 and 2015 is 18, well within the variability expected when counting a wide-ranging species that often occupies rough timbered country.

“It is important to remember that these are minimum counts, meaning that only wolves FWP could actually document as being on the landscape were included,” said John Vore, Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks (FWP) Game Management Bureau Chief. “As wolf numbers have increased there is just no way we can physically count them all. We know there are more wolves out there. According to our best estimates the actual number of wolves is at least 30 percent more than the minimum count.”

In both the USFWS delisting rule and Montana state plan, Montana is required to maintain at least 150 wolves, including 15 breeding pairs. Wolves were officially delisted from the Endangered Species Act in Montana in 2011. The delisting required oversight by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service for five years to ensure wolves in Montana stayed above population minimums. That oversight period ends in May. “Wolf management in the 21st Century requires us to strike a balance socially and biologically,” said FWP Director Jeff Hagener. “We feel like we are getting closer to that as Montana’s wolf population continues to be stable, healthy and far above recovery goals.”

Montana’s approach to wolf management includes hunting, trapping and management removal of problem wolves, which provides opportunities for hunters and trappers and the flexibility to address problems with isolated instances of wolf depredation.

In 2015 the number of wolf depredations on livestock increased by 17 over the previous year to 64. This included 41 cattle, 21 sheep and two horses.

The total documented wolf mortality in 2015 was 276 wolves, down from 308 in 2014. These numbers include all documented wolf deaths, including those from vehicles, poaching and disease. Included in this number are 39 wolves killed to address depredation issues in 2015, the lowest number in a decade and 18 fewer than last year. Twelve wolves were killed under Senate Bill 200 authority, which allows landowners to kill wolves threatening livestock or pets. The total number of wolves harvested by hunters and trappers during the 2015 calendar year was 205, which were eight fewer than in the 2014 calendar year.

The recovery of the wolf in the northern Rockies remains one of the fastest endangered species comebacks on record.

In the mid 1990s, to hasten the overall pace of wolf recovery in the Northern Rockies, the USFWS released 66 wolves into Yellowstone National Park and central Idaho. FWP began monitoring the wolf population and managing livestock conflicts in 2004. After several court challenges wolves were successfully delisted in 2011.

The delisting of wolves in 2011 allows Montana to manage wolves as it does any other game species, which is guided by state management plans, administrative rules and laws.

“Although this year marks the end of the 5-year postdelisting oversight by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, wolf management will continue as it has, under the guidance of Montana’s Wolf Management Plan,” said Ken McDonald, FWP Wildlife Bureau Chief. “In future years, FWP may be adjusting how it monitors and reports on wolf numbers, but doesn’t anticipate any significant changes in how wolves are managed.”

Here’s a recipe inspired by a couple of the foods grown in Costa Rica: chocolate and bananas. This recipe comes from the Utah Extension Service in Provo. It replaces some fat with nonfat yogurt and whole eggs with egg white. Both substitutions increase the protein content and reduce calories and fat.

Using whole-wheat pastry flour instead of all-purpose flour increases the fiber content. I found the whole-wheat pastry flour in the “health foods” section of my grocery store. Enjoy a slice of this bread with some coffee.

Chocolate Marbled Banana Bread 1/2 c. semisweet chocolate chips 2 1/2 c. whole-wheat pastry flour 1 tsp. baking soda 1/2 tsp. salt 1/4 c. butter 1 c. sugar 1 1/2 c. mashed bananas (about 3 medium) 1/2 c. egg whites 1/3 c. plain nonfat yogurt Preheat oven to 350 F. Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave oven for about 30 seconds. Stir well and set aside. Stir together the whole-wheat pastry flour, baking soda and salt.

Cream together the butter and sugar; add bananas, egg whites and yogurt. Add the dry ingredients and stir just until blended.

Divide the mixture in half. To one half, add the melted chocolate chips. Place about half of the plain mixture in one large or two small loaf pans. Add about 6 spoonful of the chocolate mixture to the pans and swirl with a knife. Add the remaining plain mixture, then the remaining chocolate mixture and swirl together. Bake for 50 to 75 minutes, depending on the size of pan used. To test for doneness, insert a toothpick in the center.

If the toothpick comes out clean, then it is done.

The Kansas State University Crops Team enjoyed a successful spring season at the North American Colleges and Teachers of Agriculture (NACTA) Judging Conference held recently at the University of Minnesota-Crookston.

Ben Coomes, senior in agronomy from Girard, Kansas was the top individual overall, winning two of the four contest divisions. The K-State team placed second overall, just 6 points less than the first-place team out of 2400 possible. A total of 21 crops teams competed, 13 in the four-year division and eight in the two-year division.

Additional team members and their overall individual placings were Sam Knauss, Paola, fourth; Nathan Larson, Kensington, eighth; Johnathon Shook, Hutchinson, ninth; Tyler Herrs, Linn, 13th; and Alan VenJohn, Mt. Hope, 19th.

All are seniors from Kansas majoring in agronomy. Alternates competing were Erin Bush, Franklin, Indiana; Chris Weber, Hoxie, Kansas; and Keren Duerksen, Newton, Kansas. Kevin Donnelly, professor of agronomy, served as coach for the team. Graduate assistant coach was Marshall Hay, Lynnville, Iowa.

The contest consists of four divisions: laboratory practical, agronomic exam, math practical and plant and seed identification. In the laboratory practical, competitors identify insects, diseases, crop products, and equipment, plus determine crop growth stages, interpret pesticide labels or seed tags, name plant structures, identify nutrient deficiencies, and evaluate various crop production problems. The agronomic exam evaluated knowledge of crop production and management, crop physiology and breeding, soil properties, soil fertility, tillage, crop harvesting and storage, weeds, insects and diseases. The math practical included equipment calibration and other agronomic calculations. Seed and plant identification requires contestants to learn over 250 plant and seed samples.

The NACTA Judging Conference event concluded the spring competition season for the K-State Crops Team. Earlier, the team placed second at the Iowa State Invitational contest in February, and first at the NACTA Regional Contest held at K–State in March. The K-State Soils Team also competed at the NACTA Judging Conference at Crookston, Minn., placing fourth.

The K-State College of Agriculture will host the 2017 National NACTA Judging Conference April 6-8, 2017.

Individual contests are being planned across multiple disciplines including animal science, agricultural economics, agricultural communications, agronomy, and horticulture, plus a knowledge bowl covering all agricultural disciplines.

K‑State Research and Extension is a short name for the Kansas State University Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, a program designed to generate and distribute useful knowledge for the well‑being of Kansans. Supported by county, state, federal and private funds, the program has county Extension offices, experiment fields, area Extension offices and regional research centers statewide. Its headquarters is on the K‑State campus in Manhattan. ##### “The nutritional composition of beef provides muchneeded protein, vitamins and iron....

U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Farm Service Agency (FSA) Administrator Val Dolcini announced that incentives resume this month for farmers and foresters who grow and harvest biomass for renewable energy and biobased products. The funds come through the Biomass Crop Assistance Program (BCAP), which was reauthorized by the 2014 Farm Bill.

“This program expands the types of feedstock that can be used to make renewable fuels and biobased products, laying the foundation for growing more products made in rural America,” said Dolcini. “The Biomass Crop Assistance Program currently supports more than 890 growers and landowners farming nearly 49,000 acres to establish and produce dedicated, nonfood energy crops for delivery to energy conversion facilities, and it is a key piece of USDA’s strategy to grow the rural economy and create new markets for our farmers and ranchers.”

Facilities seeking to be qualified by USDA to accept biomass can begin enrollment between today, May 23, and June 6, 2016. BCAP provides financial assistance to farmers and ranchers who establish and maintain new crops of energy biomass, or who harvest and deliver forest or agricultural residues to a USDA-approved facility that creates energy or biobased products.

In fiscal year 2016, there is $3 million available for BCAP. A portion of the funds will be provided to two existing BCAP projects in New York and Ohio/Pennsylvania to expand acres planted to shrub willow and giant miscanthus. Farmers and forest landowners may enroll for biomass establishment and maintenance payments for these two projects between June 15 and September 13, 2016.

Also, between June 15 to August 4, 2016, USDA will accept applications from foresters and farmers seeking incentives to remove biomass residues from fields or national forests for delivery to energy generation facilities. The retrieval payments are provided at match of $1 for $1, up to $20 per dry ton. Eligible crops include corn residue, diseased or insect-infested wood materials, or orchard waste.

To learn more about BCAP or to enroll in updates, visit www.fsa.usda.gov/bcap or contact your local FSA county office. To find your local county office, visit http://offices. usda.gov.

Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack has recognized the biobased economy as one of the pillars that strengthen rural communities, and as a result USDA helped jumpstart efforts to provide a reliable supply of advanced plant materials for biofuels. Over the course of this Administration, USDA has invested $332 million to accelerate research on renewable energy ranging from genomic research on bioenergy feedstock crops, to development of biofuel conversion processes and costs/benefit estimates of renewable energy production.

Through BCAP, USDA is incentivizing more than 890 growers and landowners farming nearly 49,000 acres to establish and produce dedicated, nonfood energy crops for delivery to energy conversion facilities, and the department has expanded insurance coverage and other safety net options to support farmers producing biomass for renewable energy.

To ensure those feedstocks are put to use, USDA has invested in the work needed to create advanced biofuels refineries. Under this Administration, USDA has supported efforts to build six new biorefineries to produce advanced biofuels in Louisiana, Georgia, Oregon, Nevada, North Carolina, and Iowa, in addition to three existing facilities in New Mexico, Michigan and Florida previously supported.

USDA has also worked to strengthen markets for biobased products. Approximately 2,500 products now carry USDA’s BioPreferred label, which helps consumers make informed decisions about their purchases, giving them assurances that their product was made using renewable materials, such as plants or forestry materials.

Investments in renewable energy and the biobased economy are a leading part of USDA’s commitment to mitigating climate change and promoting a clean-energy economy. This month, the Department is examining what a changing climate means to agriculture and how USDA is working to reduce greenhouse gases. For more information, visit Chapter 5 of https://medium.com/usda-results.

Since 2009, USDA has worked to strengthen and support American agriculture, an industry that supports one in 11 American jobs, provides American consumers with more than 80 percent of the food we consume, ensures that Americans spend less of their paychecks at the grocery store than most people in other countries, and supports markets for homegrown renewable energy and materials. USDA has also

provided $5.6 billion of disaster relief to farmers and ranchers; expanded risk management tools with products like the Whole Farm Revenue Protection; and helped farm businesses grow with $36 billion in farm credit. The Department has engaged its resources to support a strong next generation of farmers and ranchers by improving access to land and capital; building new markets and market opportunities; extending new conservation opportunities. USDA has developed new markets for rural-made products, including more than 2,500 biobased products through USDA’s BioPreferred program; and invested $64 billion in infrastructure and community facilities to help improve the quality of life in rural America.

Liquid-metal particles for heat-free soldering

By Iowa State University of Science and Technology Martin Thuo likes to look for new, affordable and clean ways to put science and technology to work in the world.

His lab is dedicated to an idea called frugal innovation: “How do you do very high-level science or engineering with very little?” said Thuo, an assistant professor of materials science and engineering at Iowa State University and an associate of the U.S. Department of Energy’s Ames Laboratory. “How can you solve a problem with the least amount of resources?”

That goal has Thuo and his research group using their materials expertise to study soft matter, single-molecule electronics and renewable energy production. A guiding principle is that, whenever possible, nature should do part of the work.

“Nature has a beautiful way of working for us,” he said.

“Self-assembly and ambient oxidation are great tools in our designs.”

One of the latest innovations from Thuo’s lab is finding a way to make micro-scale, liquid-metal particles that can be used for heat-free soldering plus the fabricating, repairing and processing of metals – all at room temperature.

The discovery was recently reported online (http://www. nature.com/articles/srep21864) in the journal Scientific Reports. Thuo’s co-authors all have Iowa State ties: Simge Cinar, a postdoctoral research associate; Ian Tevis, a former postdoctoral researcher who’s now chief technical officer at an Ames startup called SAFI-Tech; and Jiahao Chen, a doctoral student.

Ask about the discovery and Thuo says Iowa State is just the place for a new development in soldering technology.

Back in 1996, a research team led by Iver Anderson of the Ames Laboratory and Iowa State’s department of materials science and engineering patented lead-free solder That patent expired in 2013. But at its peak, the technology was licensed by more than 50 companies in 13 countries.

Thuo is hoping his heat-free soldering technology is just as useful. To try to help make that happen, he’s worked with Tevis to launch SAFI-Tech. Thuo said the company plans to locate to the Iowa State Economic Development StartUp Factory when it opens in the ISU Research Park later this year.

The project started as a search for a way to stop liquid metal from returning to a solid – even below the metal’s melting point. That’s something called undercooling and it has been widely studied for insights into metal structure and metal processing. But it had been a challenge to produce large and stable quantities of undercooled metals.

Thuo’s research team thought if tiny droplets of liquid metal could be covered with a thin, uniform coating, they could form stable particles of undercooled liquid metal.

The engineers experimented with a new technique that uses a high-speed rotary tool to sheer liquid metal into droplets within an acidic liquid.

And then nature lends a hand: The particles are exposed to oxygen and then an oxidation layer is allowed to cover the particles, essentially creating a capsule containing the liquid metal. That layer is then polished until it is thin and smooth.

Thuo’s research group proved the concept by creating liquid-metal particles containing Field’s metal (an alloy of bismuth, indium and tin) and particles containing an alloy of bismuth and tin. The particles are 10 micrometers in diameter, about the size of a red blood cell.

“We wanted to make sure the metals don’t turn into solids,” Thuo said. “And so we engineered the surface of the particles so there is no pathway for liquid metal to turn to a solid. We’ve trapped it in a state it doesn’t want to be in.”

Those liquid metal particles could have significant implications for manufacturing.

“We demonstrated healing of damaged surfaces and soldering/joining of metals at room temperature without requiring high-tech instrumentation, complex material preparation or a high-temperature process,” the engineers wrote in their paper.

The Iowa State Research Foundation Inc. has filed for a patent on the technology.

Thuo supported the project with faculty startup funds from Iowa State and funds from a Black and Veatch faculty fellowship. The project also included imaging work at the Center for Nanoscale Systems at Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

Tevis, of the SAFI-Tech startup, said the company is still testing the liquid-metal technology for electrical conductivity and mechanical reliability. He said the company is also developing the technology for product demonstrations.

Thuo said the project is a good example of his frugal approach to science: it should be practical, sustainable, inexpensive and all about innovating and solving problems.

Tour sees upside to HRW yield potential

What a difference a year makes. Recntly the Wheat Quality Council’s annual “Hard Red Wheat Tour” hit the road again to survey the Kansas crop, measuring yield potential and scouting conditions. Last year, the tour participants estimated yield at a lower than expected 35.9 bushels per acre (bu/ac). In contrast, this year’s tour saw much better field conditions and projected higher yields.

Tour participants come from as far as Australia and represent all facets of the wheat industry, including millers, traders, media, farmers, researchers and government officials. USW sent two colleagues on the tour this year: West Coast Office Assistant Director Shawn Campbell and Policy Specialist Elizabeth Westendorf.

Just a few hours before USW published this issue of “Wheat Letter,” the tour estimated a final average yield potential of 48.6 bu/ac or about 3.27 MT per hectare for the 2016/17 Kansas hard red winter (HRW) crop. This year the tour participants made 655 stops to scout fields. Combining seeded area with per-acre yield potential, the total production potential estimate was 382.4 million bushels (10.4 MMT).

Last year’s total production estimate was 288.5 million bushels (7.85 MMT).

On the first day, starting in Manhattan, the tour traveled along several routes covering most of Kansas’ northern counties. The cumulative Day 1 average yield potential was 47.2 bu/ac, which is equivalent to about 3.15 MT per hectare, compared to 34.3 bu/ac in 2015. To reach that average, participants surveyed 306 fields — a tour record for a single day — with fields ranging from a low of 21 bu/ac to a high of 93 bu/ac. Pressure from stripe rust, wheat streak mosaic and barley yellow dwarf foliar diseases was evident. It was apparent that many farmers used preventive control measures, as untreated fields were visibly poorer. Kansas Wheat Commission CEO Justin Gilpin said that more farmers are protecting their wheat with fungicides this year because of last year’s disease damage and because the recent influx of moisture created optimal conditions for diseases to develop.

Participants also received a report on the Nebraska and Colorado wheat crops. Nebraska estimated an average 55.0 bu/ac for a total production estimate of 70.4 million bushels (1.92 MMT). Colorado estimated an average of 39.0 bu/ac with total production estimated at 78.0 million bushels.

On the second day, the tour traveled on routes that led from the city of Colby to Wichita, making 300 stops. Again, field conditions varied by route, but the crop was noticeably better than last year. Wheat streak mosaic was more prevalent on Day 2, and participants reported seeing barley yellow dwarf, leaf rust and stripe rust. However, farmers were keeping aerial applicators busy to stay ahead of disease pressure. The Day 2 estimated average yield was 49.3 bu/ ac (3.31 MT per hectare), for a combined two-day average of 48.2 bu/ac across 606 stops. Last year, the Day 2 average was 34.5 bu/ac and the combined two-day average was 34.4 bu/ac. This was the highest Day 2 average estimate the tour has seen since 2012.

Participants also received a crop report from Oklahoma, where low cash prices encouraged more cattle grazing on wheat this year. The estimated average yield in Oklahoma is 33.6 bu/ac, for a total production estimate of 128 million bushels or about 3.48 MMT. The crop development is well ahead of normal with farmers expecting to start harvest at the end of May. The third and final day of the tour was shorter, with each car making 3 to 4 field stops on the way from Wichita back to Manhattan for the final report. The Day 3 estimated average yield was 53.5 bu/ac, (3.51 MT per hectare) across 49 stops.

Fields throughout the tour exhibited signs of early season drought stress, but in many cases, the right amount moisture in April came just in time to save the crop. While weather can still massively effect these estimates in the upcoming weeks, they highlight what a difference a year can make.

“The wheat tour is a valuable experience not only because you get in the field and look at the crop up close, but also because of the connections you make. These are aspects of the industry that you don’t always get to see when you are in the office,” said Westendorf, who was a first time participant on the tour. “Now I have a better understanding of the hard decisions that farmers have to make and the challenges they face growing wheat. It reinforced that the United States indeed produces high quality wheat.” ##### The farmer works the soil. The agriculturalist works the farmer.

$2 million grant to NDSU for cover crop research

By NDSU Extension Service A nearly $2.15 million grant the U.S. Department of Agriculture recently awarded to North Dakota Agricultural Experiment Station scientists at North Dakota State University (NDSU) will be used for a project to demonstrate how cover crops can increase the resilience and productivity of crops such as corn and soybeans and improve soil health and land use efficiency.

Cover crops are grasses, legumes and forbs planted to provide soil cover on cropland when it is bare, such as before crops emerge in the spring or after harvest in the fall.

“The use of cover crops, common in the eastern and central Corn Belt, are uncommon in corn-soybean systems in the Upper Midwest and northern Great Plains due to the short growing season and extreme fluctuations in temperature and precipitation within and across growing seasons,” says Marisol Berti, the project’s lead investigator and a professor in NDSU’s Plant Sciences Department.

She adds that the lack of soil cover in the winter increases the loss of organic matter and nutrients from the soil, requiring producers to apply larger amounts of fertilizer to maintain or increase their crop yields.

“Therefore, there is a critical need to alter current cropping systems in our region by incorporating technologies to improve long-term productivity while enhancing ecosystem services,” Berti says. “We hypothesize that new or modified seeding equipment will enable growers to successfully establish second crops (cover crops) in standing corn or soybean.

Also, by determining the nutrient credits for the next cash crop, the grower will be able to reduce fertilizer costs as well as lower greenhouse gas emissions.”

This project is a collaborative effort of 13 researchers.

Eight are from NDSU, which is leading the project. The remainder are from the University of Minnesota, Iowa State University and the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Agriculture Research Service laboratory in Morris, Minn.

The research project will include seeding four cover crops - rye, forage radish, camelina and a legume - into standing corn and soybeans at different growth stages in trial plots in North Dakota, Minnesota and Iowa. The scientists will modify or design seeding equipment and improve seeding strategies to establish the cover crops, Berti says.

Scientists also will estimate the amount of nutrients that the cover crops provided in the soil and the increased nutrient use by subsequent crops. In addition, the scientists will conduct an economic analysis of the costs and benefits of using cover crops.

Extension Services in the three states will use the data the scientists collect to conduct educational activities for producers such as research farm demonstrations, field days and regional and county-based workshops, as well as develop educational materials and web-based information (including video clips), and hold one-on-one consultations with producers.

Berti says the $2.1 million is for the first two years of the project, and the USDA will provide almost another $1.6 million in 2018 for the next two years.

A $50,000 grant NDSU also received in the latest round of funding from the USDA will be used to support an interdisciplinary conference titled “Dissection and Deployment of Durable Resistance to Diseases and Pests of Wheat” and bring in speakers from the U.S., Canada, England, Europe and Australia.

“To our knowledge, the idea behind this interdisciplinary conference is unique,” says Marion Harris, the project’s primary investigator and a professor in NDSU’s Entomology Department. “Wheat is a key global resource for food security but is challenged by biotic stress caused by diseases and pests. New opportunities for protecting wheat against biotic stress are being created every day through advances in science and technology.

“One thing that stands in the way of progress is a lack of communication between scientists who study plant-pathogen interactions (i.e., plant pathologists) and scientists who study plant-insect interactions (i.e., entomologists),” Harris adds.

“The two disciplines have a lot to learn from each other.

This conference will begin a conversation between the two disciplines. A shared talking point will be the wheat resistance genes that have been deployed in wheat cultivars for decades, providing effective, if not durable, plant resistance.” ##### Some of the world’s most ornate and expensive carousel horses have much less detail on the side that is less visible.

Pulses Making the MonDak Better

By Renée Jean • editor@sidneyherald.com They may not be a silver bullet, but they are a key component in a quiet transformation that is making the MonDak better and better. They are pulse crops, and they are not only boosting farmer’s bottom line in the short-term, they are making soils better and better for long-term increases to yields.

Peggy Bergsagel, a grower who attended the recent Pulse Conference in Wolf Point is among growers new to pulse crops - and happy with her experiment so far. She had a good friend who talked her into giving them a try on a few acres.

“He talked about how it enriched our soils and how you are not putting down all the chemicals and spraying for summer fallow,” she said. “So you are doing two good things at once. You’re helping your chemicals go down, and you are helping your soil. And you are feeding people, and putting a little cash in the account.”

She estimates that it’s boosted her overall bottom line by 20 percent just for the first year, so she’s planning to put more acres in lentils than she did the first year.

“It’s still a bit of an experiment, but I was very pleased with the outcome,” she said. “We will see what happens this year with them. They say it takes like three years of pulse crops to really see the difference in a crop.”

Bergsagel is part of a quiet revolution that has been taking place across Montana that has put fewer and fewer crop acres in soil-damaging fallow rotations and more and more in pulse crops that help build the soil while reducing the inputs a grower needs for a good yield.

In 1990, some 3 million Montana acres were in fallow, but in 2010, that number has dropped to about 1 million while pulse crops have since increased 1,000 percent. Producers had 680,000 acres of field peas, lentils and chickpeas in 2014, compared to 66,000 acres of pulse cropland in 1998.

Pulses had a combined crop value exceeding $140 million in 2013 - a figure that has continued to grow since.

Chengci Chen, superintendent of the Eastern Area Agricultural Research Center here in Sidney, is a recognized leader in pulse crop research. He has been at the forefront of statewide efforts that are helping make this profitable transformation possible, and he is bringing that research emphasis with him to Sidney.

Build the soil, build the future Short-term bottom lines are getting a boost, Chen says, but that is not all. Soil itself is getting better thanks to this shift, and that will lead the way to increased yields for wheat and barley growers in the long-term.

“One thing is, that it is a legume crop, so it can fix the nitrogen from the atmosphere,” Chen says. “It takes it from the air and fixes it biologically for the plant to use.”

And its residue is higher in nitrogen than other plant materials, so as it breaks down, it releases that nitrogen, along with other nutrients and organic matter to build up the soil.

Farmers won’t need as much fertilizer and the increased organic matter helps build the soil’s ability to hold water.

“With fallow, the precipitation conservation is very low,” Chen said. “So that means a lot of the water during the fallow period is lost. The pulse crops use less water than wheat, so if you grow a pulse crop in place of fallow, it can improve water use efficiency, and it will not affect the yield of the subsequent crop very much, particularly in shallow soil profiles.”

Price points and diversifying risks are the other benefits pulse crop rotations are bringing to the grower’s table.

“Like last year, if you grew a lot of lentil, you can be making a lot of good money,” he said. “Diversifying the crop is reducing the risk to growers.”

Pulsing up for the future Fallow doesn’t only reduce the long-term capacity of soil to hold water. It also brings up salts and creates saline seeps that leave the land bare and white as snow in the summer.

“Continuous cropping has helped us fight that,” says research agronomist Brett Allen, with USDA-ARS in Sidney.

Peas have already been shown to be a very good fit for the MonDak in crop rotations, Allen notes, but there hasn’t been as much work on chickpea and lentils to demonstrate effects on yields or examine best practices with those crops.

That’s going to change now that Chen is here. “We’re going to have more pulse crop study here at EARC compared to in the past,” he says, “and then we are also going to start a new project on sugar beet no till research.”

He’s hiring a plant pathologist, who will be looking at diseases in sugar beet and pulse crops. “Pulse crops do have CONTINUED ON PAGE C12

Northwest Montana hunter education instructors honored

By Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks Hunter and Bowhunter Education Instructors received service awards from Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks (FWP) at the annual Region One Instructor Workshop held Saturday, March 5 at Flathead Valley Community College in Kalispell. A total of 44 Instructors received Hunter Education or Bowhunter Education service awards ranging from 5 to 45 years of service. All service award recipients receive a plaque; additional awards include: 10 year: engraved knife; 20 year: FWP belt buckle; 30 year: voucher for purchase of a firearm; 45 year: Filson vest. A number of other awards were also presented.

A highlight this year was the Instructor of the Year Award presented to Patricia Allick, a longtime Bowhunter Education Instructor from Kalispell. For over 28 years, Pat has brought techniques from her career as a teacher into the Bowhunter Education Program. This past year, Pat developed a deer mannequin used in demonstrating field dressing techniques in the classroom and at workshops. Also notable was Phil Crismore’s 45 year award, and Dave Helmrick’s 30 year award, a milestone marked by a voucher for purchase of a firearm. Other instructors reached the quarter-century mark, and 20-year mark.

A number of instructors were awarded challenge coins.

These presentations are important because the instructors who received them were nominated by their peers for this honor.

2016 Service Awards span hundreds of years of experience and include: 45-year Hunter Education Award: Phil Crismore, Sanders County 35- year Hunter Education Award: Ricky Brabec, Ron Hvizdak, Lincoln County 30-year Hunter Education Award: Dave Helmrick, Lincoln County 25-year Hunter Education Award: Andy Larsson, Lake County; Gary Mocko, Lincoln County 20-year Hunter Education Awards: Don Bothwell, Jeff Moser, Flathead County; Keith Barrows, Rocky Santorno, Lake County; Lisa Brown, Sanders County; Lee Ressler, Lincoln County 20-year Bowhunter Education Awards: Jim Vashro, Bob Windauer, Flathead County 15-year Hunter Education Awards: R.J. Devitt, Ray Garth, Gerry Hurst, Marc Long, Charlie Stafford, Timber Stevens, Flathead County; Daniel Lilja, Robert Paro, Sanders County 15-year Bowhunter Education Award: Neil Textor, Lincoln County 10-year Hunter Education Awards: Breezy Adams, Kip McKessick, Karen Porteous, Brandy Quimby, Flathead County; Carollee Weisberger, Boss Weisberger, Lincoln County 5-year Hunter Education Awards: Kayli Burback, Larry Keyes, Michael Leib, Kaleb Griepp, Jon Hewitt, Ron Huntsinger, Flathead County; Jerry Gingerich, Catherine Jenks, Julia Jenks, Robin Jenks, Marshall Moody, Michelle Swagger, Lincoln County.

5-year Bowhunter Education Award: Tim Doll, Marshall Moody, Michelle Swagger, Lincoln County.

All Hunter and Bowhunter Education Instructors are volunteers for FWP. They provide safety, ethics, and firearms and archery equipment handling training to young students across Montana. In Region One (northwest Montana) more than 300 instructors train about 2,000 students each year.

Pulses Making the MonDak Better CONTINUED FROM PAGE C11

a disease problem, and that is a concern for a pulse crop,” Chen says. “As the crop production history gets longer, we are going to have more disease building up, in particular root disease, so we need to have more research on the cropping systems in pulse crops. In the meantime, we will have a plant pathologist and breeders to work on disease resistant varieties.”

This year, MSU in Bozeman is hiring a pulse crop breeder to begin developing varieties that work best in Montana, Chen adds, which will also help in the continued development of profitable crop rotations in the MonDak. ##### “The downhill path is easy, but there’s no turning back.

Elaborate dance

By Syd Rogers I love springtime. Everything is so green. Flowers are blooming. There are no concerns for flies and mosquitos.

The weather is cool enough to sleep at night with the window open and the days are longer. It doesn’t get much better than that.

As with every up, there is a downside, however. And with spring, the downside is how exhausted a person is. Not only for the hours of cleaning, planting, branding, fencing but for the elaborate dancing as well.

If you are not familiar with Spring’s elaborate dance, let me explain. Typically, there is no music. A person just spontaneously starts jumping around, shedding clothing and emitting loud, high-pitched sounds somewhat similar to a scream. Well, a scream. It is a scream. The lyrics of the song they are screaming go like this, “A TICK, A TICK!! GET IT OFF OF ME! A TICK!!!!”

Oftentimes, unfortunately, the potential rescuer has a delay in response either due to wanting to break out in a dance of their own with responding lyrics of, “NOOOOOO!!!!

GROSSS!!!!” or because they are laughing too hard.

Only one time have I ever had a tick actually take hold but I am pretty sure it was deaf before it was dead. I still get a little shiver thinking about that. Heebie jeebies.

Last night, Curtis and I were enjoying a nice quiet 15 minutes on the couch after repairing fence in the dark. Let me just say, as a side note, how impressed I am with Curtis’ skill to fence by Braille. Simply amazing. At any rate, we got back into the house long past the time to go to bed but we decided to break the rules and sit on the couch. As we were sitting there, holding hands, relaxing, I saw Curtis reach down and pull something off his sleeve. That act in itself is not suspicious, however, the sidelong glance to see if I was looking did get my attention. He quietly got up and muttered, “hmmm, a tick,” and went to cut its head off.

Attempting to be adult about the entire situation, I muffled the scream somewhere in my throat. However, I could have sworn something was crawling in my hair, or right about the neckline of my sweatshirt. My request of performing tick checks only got a chuckle so I went into the bedroom and shed every stitch of clothing I had on. I ran my fingers through my hair knowing full well that was fruitless. But I felt better about it. Kind of. Well, not really.

This morning, I tried to put it out of my mind. We had a busy morning and needed to get moving. We were going to move the cows in town to a new pasture off of the creek.

You know, through the thick grass and trees, where the ticks live. The chores got done, the horses saddled and off to town we went.

Although it is another story in its own, we did get the cows moved. At that point in time, I had rather forgotten about the ticks. While Curtis stayed in town to do some work around the old pasture and make sure the calves “mothered up,” I came home as it was Monday and there was typing that needed done.

As I usually do, I take breaks from my typing and do odds and ends around the house. Laundry, dishes, sweeping the floors, naps, you know, chores. While moving the laundry from the washer to the dryer, I noticed a pile of dirt from Dottie’s bed the night before. I finished moving the laundry, started a new load and got the broom. Whilst in the sweeping maneuver, a black dot on the wall caught my attention. Yeap. A tick. As no one was around to appreciate my artistic ability with the elaborate dance, (read as no one was around to kill the dang thing), so I started thinking about my weapons of choice.

Curtis will simply pick the tick up between his fingers (!!!), take out his knife and cut its head off. Effective. Except the touching the thing part. I thought about using my tweezers but, umm, I’m sure I would want to use them again.

Vacuum? Hah! No way! It could crawl out! So I went to the tool chest and grabbed a pair of needle nose pliers. This just might work!

I picked the tick up and tried to squish him on the floor.

Now for those of you who have tried to kill ticks, you have a knowing grin on your face as that will obviously not work.

With a VERY firm grip on the pliers, I rummaged through the house looking for secret weapon #2. Fire. Making a mental note to remind my son to put things back where he finds them, namely the lighter, I located the matches and cleverly lit one while holding on for dear life to those needle nose pliers. Bye-bye Tick. Yes. Yes a tick was harmed in this story. Badly, fatally even. I wonder if they would have eaten it on Naked and Afraid?

Feeling accomplished, I returned to my sweeping duties only to notice the dirt was moving. Are you kidding me!?!

Pulse crops bring value-added processing to central South Dakota

It’s also a whole new way of thinking A local market about agriculture.

Simply placing a processing plant in across South Dakota have invested money an area creates a new local market, as well in a plant they will own and operate. as local jobs.

What they are planning is a pulse crop So even without the profits that Smith can processing plant to be built on the outskirts expect one day as an investor in the pulse of Harrold later this year in order to begin processing plant, he says he and area farmprocessing field peas, lentils and chickpeas ers stand to benefit another way.

Smith said crops such as sunflowers and corn are harvested too late for producers to follow up the fall harvest by planting winter wheat.

But that’s not an issue with a pulse crop such as field peas, which also build up the soil instead of simply consuming nutrients.

“The peas put a lot of nutrients back into the ground.

If you go back to wheat afterward, I’d say you would have a much better yield with less commercial fertilizer,” Smith said.

Elaborate dance

Another one! This time, I got a really good grasp on the little buggar. Mostly because he really wasn’t that little. He was quite a bit bigger than the other one and took to squishing much better. But, just in case, I did take him outside and grind the end of the pliers on the deck where I noticed what doctors would call “exudate.” I think needle-nose pliers may just be my new best friend. Better than sliced bread! Hopefully people don’t ask me why I am carrying them around all the time but I think it is justifiable.

In thinking further on it, I decided that the doggie blanket I had just ran through the washer, may need to be washed again. In hot water, with bleach. Or, maybe just burned.

Burned might be a good idea. The thought also crept through my mind that this elaborate dance may have spawned my other similar dance done for spiders. They are so close in genetics that I would assume they were from the same family.

And just let me say this to all of you afraid of a mouse or a snake. Though highly unlikely, a snake or a mouse MIGHT make their way up your pant leg or down the front of your shirt but 99.9% of the time, you will know they are there.

But a tick? Or a spider? They can just have their way with whatever they want. It is bad enough that the spider will bite a time or 10 and get away without his capital punishment but a tick will just hang out for DAYS. I think my phobia beats yours.

At this very moment, I am contemplating the implications of going back to work in the buff. The tag on my sweatshirt is having too much fun tickling me, there is something messing with my leg and my hair just doesn’t feel right. Plus, I had better take a good look at the ceiling in the kitchen. What if one of those ticks crawled up there and is just waiting for a good chance to take a thrill jump into my hair? ##### The first farmer was the first man.

Your New Dealer For

Rakes, Bale Processors & Bale Retrievers

WHY RAKE with a BALE KING VR Wheel Rake?

• 62” RAKE WHEEL - Most competitor’s rakes use 55” wheels. 62” wheels turn better in heavy crop,

roll easier and turns at a slower rate which is easier on your crop.

• STANDARD WINDGUARD - We think windguards are an essential component of a hay raking system because they allow you to continue raking in windier conditions without hay wrapping hanging up on the rake wheel.

• 48 TINES PER WHEEL (most rakes only have 40) - better float and better coverage in finer crops.

• PATENTED SINGLE REPLACEABLE TINES - Easy one bolt replacement - an industry exclusive!

• PATENTED RAKE WHEEL SPRING SYSTEM - our long lasting zero maintenance design provides exceptionally smooth rake wheel flotation.

Water and natural resources tour is June 14-16 in Colorado

By Steven Ress, Communications Coordinator, Nebraska Water Center The annual water and natural resources tour, hosted by the University of Nebraska’s Nebraska Water Center and the Central Nebraska Public Power and Irrigation District, will be in Colorado this summer.

Participants in the June 14-16 tour will travel through Colorado’s central Front Range area and into the interior of the Rocky Mountains. A stop in the Denver area will center on growing urban water demands stemming from rapidly expanding population, industry and recreation.

Diverse topics in the Denver area include water quality and the Coors brewery, climate change, changes in water runoff patterns caused by recent pine wilt beetle infestations, the role of the Denver Water utility and other topics.

The tour will examine many issues related to water and natural resources in the South Platte basin and Denver metro area.

“Basin water use and development in Denver and the surrounding metropolitan area, including ongoing conversion of former agricultural water rights to urban and suburban use as the area continues to grow, are obviously huge considerations and will be closely examined on the tour from a number of angles,” said Nebraska Water Center communicator Steve Ress, a tour co-organizer.

In the high country of nearby Summit County, recreation and tourism drive the area’s economy and water use, and those issues will be closely explored as tour participants get a look at research and restoration projects aimed at preserving abundant water supplies and a healthy environment.

Tour participants will see the snow-making industry, spend part of an afternoon rafting Clear Creek and will be exposed to the history, ramifications and continuing environmental issues associated with the area’s 19th century gold and silver mining industry that helped open much of Central Colorado to western settlement.

Colorado’s first state water plan, shared use of water under a Nebraska-Colorado compact and many other topics will also be examined.

Registrations can be made through the Central Nebraska Public Power and Irrigation District in Holdrege. The tour departs from the Holiday Inn Express and Suites DIA Hotel in Denver at 7 a.m. June 14. Tour participants are responsible for their own travel arrangements to and from the event.

All other food, lodging, motor coach expenses and fees are covered in the registration.

In addition to the Central Nebraska Public Power and Irrigation District and the Nebraska Water Center, tour sponsors include the Robert B. Daugherty Water for Food Institute at the University of Nebraska, UNL’s Institute of Agriculture and Natural Resources, Nebraska Public Power District, the Lower Platte North Natural Resources District, Li-COR Biosciences and the Nebraska Water Balance Alliance.

Registration is $665 per person single occupancy or $565 per person double occupancy. Space is limited and registration is first-come, first-served. To register, email hrahmann@ cnppid.com or phone 308-995-3560.

Father’s Day

Date When Celebrated : Third Sunday in June A day to honor Dad. NO. Rather, it is a day to enjoy time with Dad and appreciate all he does for you.

What Dad really wants is healthy, happy and successful kids. And, he wants you to spend a few moments with him on Father’s Day. Today’s life style is busy for both dads and kids. So, a little time with dad on Father’s Day is just what he wants.

A Father is more than the biological paternal source of our being. It is the person who cares and provides for us.

It is the man who helps to set the standards, the family values and the example. So, add to this group step-fathers and other men who willingly and eagerly accept and cherish the role. Whether biological, adopted or informally, if they are the father figure to you, give him some recognition today and don’t hesitate to call him “Dad”.

Did you know? The first Father’s Day celebration was in Spokane, Wa. on May 18, 1910.

Toxic plants publication aims to help producers

By James Schmidt, K-State Research and Extension With so many potential dangers lingering in grazing pastures, it’s crucial for producers to understand which plants could harm cattle and other livestock if they are consumed.

A new publication available through K-State Research and Extension provides information on these potentially deadly plants.

“It is the first of any publication I have found that specifically looks at plants, or cover crops, that are issues for livestock,” said Jaymelynn Farney, Kansas State University assistant professor of animal science and one of the publication’s authors. “We don’t want producers to plant some kind of forage without them knowing the potential issues that can come from it.”

Some producers could be feeding their cattle toxic plants and not know it, which was one of the driving factors for creating the publication, said Farney, a K-State Research and Extension beef systems specialist located in southeast Kansas.

“When visiting with producers and traditional cover crop enthusiasts, some of the plants they said they put in the mixture made me a little nervous from the livestock side,” Farney said.

The plant to be worried about the most, according to Farney, is hairy vetch. It is unknown why it can cause death in livestock, and there is currently no way of managing it, which makes it such a threatening and silent killer.

“Hairy vetch grows well and contributes a lot of nitrogen, so people like to plant it. However, it is an indiscriminate killer,” Farney said. “When you have cattle that are allergic to it, you have essentially 100 percent death loss. Now, you might have cattle that are perfectly fine (grazing) on it. But, then you might come out one day to find your cattle are dead.”

Other plants that can poison cattle are lupin and amaranth.

Lupin is a good source of protein and energy in livestock feeds, but its use should be limited to four nontoxic species.

Six other species could be toxic to cattle and sheep, according to the publication.

Amaranth is a bushy plant that is related to pigweed, and it also has different species. Palmer amaranth is consistently high in nitrate and potentially toxic to cattle, so it is important for producers to know the amaranth species before using it as a forage crop for livestock.

In addition to poisonous plants, the new publication provides information on plants that can cause metabolic disorders in livestock. It is available online through the K-State Research and Extension Bookstore (http://www.bookstore. ksre.ksu.edu/pubs/MF3244.pdf) or at local extension offices throughout the state.

K-State Research and Extension is a short name for the Kansas State University Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, a program designed to generate and distribute useful knowledge for the well-being of Kansans. Supported by county, state, federal and private funds, the program has county Extension offices, experiment fields, area Extension offices and regional research centers statewide. Its headquarters is on the K-State campus, Manhattan.

Alligator shoes

A young blonde was on vacation in the depths of Louisiana. She wanted a pair of genuine alligator shoes in the worst way, but was very reluctant to pay the high prices the local vendors were asking.

After becoming very frustrated with the “no hassle” attitude of one of the shopkeepers, the blonde shouted, “Maybe I’ll just go out and catch my own alligator so I can get a pair of shoes at a reasonable price!”

The shopkeeper said, “By all means, be my guest. Maybe you’ll luck out and catch yourself a big one!” Determined, the blonde turned and headed for the swamps, set on catching herself an alligator.

Later in the day, the shopkeeper is driving home, when he spots the young woman standing waist deep in the water, shotgun in hand. Just then, he sees a huge 9-foot alligator swimming quickly toward her. She takes aim, kills the creature and with a great deal of effort hauls it on to the swamp bank. Laying nearby were several more of the dead creatures.

The shopkeeper watches in amazement. Just then the blonde flips the alligator on its back, and frustrated, shouts out, “Dang it, this one isn’t wearing any shoes either!”

Weed Management and Herbicide Performance During Drought Conditions

By Robert Parker, Ph.D, Extension Weed Scientist, Washington state University and Rick Boydston, Ph.D, Agronomist, US Department of AgricultureAgricultural Research Service, Irrigated Agriculture Research and Extension Center, Prosser, WA There is good reason to control weeds in cropland. Low soil moisture increases the competition for water between the weed and the crop. Therefore, weed control is even more important when water is scarce. Generally, when moisture is limiting, there may be fewer and less vigorous weeds and weed emergence may be delayed until rainfall occurs.

Drought tolerant weeds, such as kochia, Russian thistle, and field bindweed develop extensive root systems early and take advantage of limited water, making them more competitive and difficult to control than when soil moisture is adequate.

Even with fewer weeds, their control is more difficult under dry conditions. Decreased yield potential in dry years may cause producers to question whether costs for herbicides are justified. In dry years, reliance on weed control methods other than herbicides may be necessary. A shallow, timely cultivation can effectively control small weeds while loosening crusted soil. However, cultivation may be detrimental due to further loss of critical soil moisture, resulting in poor crop stands and increasing the susceptibility to erosion.

Herbicide performance will also change under dry conditions. Efficacy of postemergence or foliage applied herbicides, particularly those that are translocated within the target weeds, is highly dependent upon active plant growth.

Postemergence herbicides are less effective when weeds are stressed. Drought stressed plants produce thicker leaf cuticles (waxy covering), resulting in less herbicide absorption into the plant. Drought-stress affects many plant processes and growth, resulting in less movement of herbicide once it is in the plant, and less herbicide delivered to target sites, such as enzyme systems or growing points. Sugars produced by photosynthesis and their movement within the plant are restricted in drought stressed plants, therefore translocation of some herbicides that typically move with sugars is limited.

Herbicide translocation is crucial for control of perennial weeds such as Canada thistle and field bindweed, where movement to underground and above-ground growing points of the plant is essential for lasting control. It may be best to delay herbicide applications to perennial weeds growing under extreme water stress until moisture conditions improve.

Low humidity also results in rapid drying of spray droplets in the air, which results in smaller droplets more prone to drift. Droplets that land on target weeds will dry faster under low humidity, resulting in less time for absorption into the leaf.

Do not skimp on herbicide rates when treating waterstressed weeds. Generally, more herbicide is needed to control drought-stressed weeds. Also, certain herbicide formulations may be more effective on drought-stressed weeds. For example, ester formulations of 2,4-D generally perform better on stressed weeds than amine formulations.

In particular, the effectiveness of postemergence grass herbicides is reduced when grass weeds are water stressed.

Applying postemergence grass and broadleaf herbicides in separate applications will also help improve grass control by reducing herbicide antagonism.

The addition of the proper adjuvant can improve control of drought-stressed weeds by improving herbicide coverage, retention, and uptake. Consult herbicide labels for the proper type and amount of adjuvants to use under drought conditions. Individual herbicides may require different adjuvants for best performance. Choose tank mix partners that use compatible adjuvants under drought conditions. Adding, changing, or increasing adjuvants may reduce the degree of herbicide selectivity on crops, resulting in increased crop injury.

Contact foliage-applied herbicides, such as paraquat (Gramoxone), bromoxynil (Buctril), carfentrazone (Aim), and oxyfluorfen (Goal), are usually less affected by drought stress than the translocated herbicides, such as 2,4-D, glyphosate (Roundup, others), dicamba (Banvel, Clarity), clopyralid (Stinger, Lontrel), fluroxypyr (Starane), triclopyr (Garlon), and combinations.

How does drought stress affect the performance of herbicides applied to the soil? With soil-applied herbicides, placement of the herbicide in the weed seed germination zone or zone of emerging shoots is critical for uptake by CONTINUED ON PAGE C28

Weed Management and Herbicide Performance seedling roots and shoots. Precipitation or overhead irrigation generally is required following a preemergence herbicide application to “activate” or move the herbicide into the soil, making it available for absorption by the emerging weeds. Activation is often best achieved by rainfall or irrigation. However, mechanical activation with a rotary hoe, tine harrow, or other implement may be required in dry years. Herbicides that are mechanically incorporated are not as dependent on overhead moisture, since the shallow tillage for incorporation will place the herbicide in the zone of weed-seed germination.

Activation is best achieved with knowledge of the weed, soil, and herbicide characteristics. Where should the herbicide be placed? Are the target weeds seedlings with shallow, slow growing roots or are they well-established perennials with deep roots? Herbicides are more mobile in sandy soil than in soils with high clay and/or organic matter, which tend to bind many herbicides. Herbicide mobility in soil is often related to the herbicide’s water solubility, but not in all cases. Some herbicides are highly water soluble, but move little in the soil due to adsorption to soil particles. Herbicides are absorbed by plants from the soil water solution. Herbicides applied to dry soils may be so tightly bound that they become unavailable for uptake by weeds and less likely to be leached, whereas herbicides applied to moist soil are available for uptake by plants and for leaching. Dry soil conditions can also prevent chemical and biological processes that degrade herbicides, making them more likely to persist and injure subsequent crops.

If sufficient water is present to grow the crop, moisture should be adequate for placement of the herbicide into the soil. When irrigation is not available, rainfall is required to move the herbicide into the soil, especially in areas that are not normally tilled. When weeds are growing under extreme moisture stress and mechanical incorporation is not an option, it may be best to wait to apply herbicide until conditions improve.

Cranberry juice can boost heart health

By Dennis O’Brien, Agricultural Research Service Drinking two glasses of cranberry juice a day can lead to significant heart health benefits, according to a study led

by Janet Novotny, an Agricultural Research Service (ARS) physiologist at the Beltsville Human Nutrition Research Center in Beltsville, Maryland.

Novotny gave 56 people either low-calorie cranberry juice or a similar-tasting placebo twice a day for 8 weeks and found that the juice lowered several risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD), diabetes and stroke. The 30 women and 26 men were given 8-ounce servings at breakfast and dinner in a double-blind study in which they ate only foods provided as part of the study.

The cranberry juice was sweetened with sucralose and had the same juice content (27 percent) and nutrients as most sugar-sweetened cranberry juice available in stores.

The placebo was a flavor-matched, calorie-matched, artificially colored beverage. The research was funded by Ocean Spray Cranberries Inc. Ocean Spray provided the juice, but was not involved in conducting the study or analyzing the results.

After 8 weeks, volunteers given the juice had lower levels of 5 of 22 indicators of cardiometabolic risk in their blood, compared with volunteers given the placebo. The differences could be considered “a notable result,” Novotny says.

Cardiometabolic risk is the combined risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD), diabetes and stroke, which together causes more deaths in the developed world than anything else.

CVD alone causes 930,000 deaths in the United States each year. Risks of developing CVD, diabetes and stroke can be modified with diet and exercise.

Previous studies have shown that cranberries are rich in the types of polyphenols associated with a reduced risk of heart disease, diabetes and stroke. But Novotny’s study is the first to show that cranberries confer such health benefits in a controlled-diet, double-blind clinical trial, which is considered the gold standard in health and medical research.

ARS is the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s chief intramural scientific research agency.

Corn exports add $74.7 billion to U.S. economy

Exports of U.S. corn and corn products generated $74.7 billion in annual economic output in 2014, with sales of all U.S. feed grain products contributing $82 billion, according to a new analysis conducted by Informa Economics.

According to the analysis, the export of corn and corn products increased the U.S. gross domestic product (GDP) by $29.8 billion over what would have occurred without such exports.

The number of full-time equivalent jobs linked directly or indirectly to corn exports totaled 332,787.

All feed grains examined – corn, corn products, sorghum and barley – increased the U.S. GDP by $33 billion over what would have otherwise occurred, affecting 371,536 jobs.

Supermarket

A new supermarket opened near my house. It has an automatic water mister to keep the produce fresh. Just before it goes on, you hear the sound of distant thunder and the smell of fresh rain.

When you approach the milk cases, you hear cows mooing and experience the scent of fresh hay.

When you approach the egg case, you hear hens cluck and cackle, and the air is filled with the pleasing aroma of bacon and eggs frying.

The veggie department features the smell of fresh buttered corn.

I don’t buy toilet paper there anymore.

Kansas added to interactive cover crops website

By Steve Watson, K-State Research and Extension News Once a producer starts to think about planting a cover crop, what’s next? In many cases, the answer to that is, “a seemingly endless series of questions,” said DeAnn Presley, Kansas State University associate professor of agronomy.

That’s where an interactive web site can be a big help.

Cover crops are a complex topic in many ways. There are a lot of choices, each with different strengths and weaknesses, Presley said. It will be necessary answer several questions about your goals and specific field conditions to make the best choices.

“There are dozens of cover crop options, and you’ll need to decide which one – or which combination of species – you’d like to use on each field you have in mind,” said Presley, who is a soils management specialist with K-State Research and Extension.

To make that decision, take into account what you’d like to accomplish with the cover crops, what cash crops the cover crops will be sandwiched between, the hardiness of the cover crop options for your area, the soil conditions of the field, and much more.

“It’s not an easy decision. Your seed supplier can be a big help, but you might like to examine all the options yourself before placing your seed order,” she said.

One of the most useful online tools for evaluating cover crop options for specific situations and locations is the Midwest Cover Crops Council Decision Tool, Presley said.

Kansas has now been added to this online resource.

“At least a dozen K-State specialists, as well as representatives from the USDA-NRCS and the seed industry, have been working for more than a year now to provide the information needed to have Kansas become part of this fantastic online tool,” Presley said.

The address of the decision tool is: Midwest Cover Crops Council Cover Crop Decision Tools (http://www.mccc.msu. edu/selectorINTRO.html) On that page, click on the link that reads “Go to the Cover Crop Decision Tool-Field Crops.” That will take you to the page where you enter your field-specific information, Presley said.

“This is much more than just a list of cover crop species that we know will work in Kansas. It’s an interactive tool.

Producers enter some information specific to their own operation, and the website then selects some of the best cover crop options for that localized situation,” she said.

The first step after logging onto the site is to select your state and county. Then select the cash crop you’ll have on a given field, and pick a planting and harvest date. Then choose a soil drainage type, and whether the field has tile drainage (if it is poorly drained at all) or is subject to flooding. Then choose the top three goals for your cover crop.

Example: Select Butler County, Kansas. Then choose soybeans as the cash crop, with May 16 as the planting date and October 15 as the harvest date. Let’s say the field is somewhat poorly drained, does not have tile drainage, and is not subject to flooding. If the goals are “soil builder,” “lasting residue,” and “good grazing,” in that order, then you’ll find a list of 14 possible cover crop options.

The website will shade out the period of time during the year when the cash crop will be growing, and will show when each of the cover crops it selects for you can or should be planted. In this example, winter barley is one of the possible cover crops selected, and it could be planted from Oct. 15 to Nov. 15. The website rates it “excellent” as a soil builder, “very good” for lasting residue, and “excellent” as a grazing option (using a numerical scale of 0-4, with 4 being excellent). Finally, you can click on each of the cover crops selected to get more information about it, including seeding rates, depths and more.

Funding for the development of the Kansas portion of the website came from the Kansas Center for Sustainable Agriculture and Alternative Crops and the Division of Conservation from the Kansas Department of Agriculture. Presley is on the Midwest Cover Crops Council board of directors.

For more information, contact DeAnn Presley at 785-5321218 or deann@ksu.edu.

K-State Research and Extension is a short name for the Kansas State University Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, a program designed to generate and distribute useful knowledge for the well-being of Kansans. Supported by county, state, federal and private funds, the program has county Extension offices, experiment fields, area Extension offices and regional research centers statewide. Its headquarters is on the K-State campus, Manhattan.

Reducing waste while improving snack nutrition

By Scott Weybright, WSU CAHNRS Your favorite puffed snack food may soon contain more fiber and nutrition, thanks to research from Washington State University food scientists.

Girish Ganjyal and some of his graduate students have discovered how to add carrot pomace – the pulpy leftover from juicing the veggies – to cornstarch, increasing the “puffiness” of snack foods.

“That’s great – we didn’t know what we would find,” said Ganjyal, a WSU/University of Idaho School of Food Science assistant professor and WSU Extension food-processing specialist. “We hope to continue researching and see just how the starch and fiber are interacting at the molecular level. Hopefully, we can include even more pomace in the recipe.”

The results are published as “Carrot pomace enhances the expansion and nutritional quality of corn starch extrudates,” in the May edition of the journal LWT-Food Science and Technology. It can be found at http://www.sciencedirect. com/science/article/pii/S002364381530373X. The research team experimented with concentrations of 5, 10 and 15 percent carrot pomace.

“At five percent, it was great,” Ganjyal said. “But at the higher concentrations, the end product got more dense and didn’t puff nearly as much.”

Pomace doesn’t affect the taste of snack foods, he said.

In addition to adding fiber and some important nutrients to foods, the research creates a use for a wasted byproduct.

Pomace is a leftover after industrial juicing of fruits and vegetables including apples, cherries, blueberries, grapes and carrots.

Ganjyal said he talked with juice industry professionals and farmers who want to do something with the residue.

With juice production increasing, there is more pomace byproduct.

“If we can find a real use for this, and add something positive to snack foods without affecting the taste or texture, it’s a real win-win,” he said.

is moderately resistant to TCK smut and resistant to stripe rust, but susceptible to stem rust. Yellowstone has been the leading winter wheat variety planted in Montana since 2012. PVP, Title V has been issued (Certificate #200600284).

Plant Variety Protection The Plant Variety Act, signed into law in 1970, offers legal protection to developers of new varieties of plants which reproduce sexually – that is, through seeds. The law provides for a Plant Variety Protection Office in the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

The office receives and processes applications and when “novelty” is established, issues a certificate granting protection rights specified by the applicant.

The owner (or developer) holding a “certificate of protection” has complete control over the variety for 20 years. The law provides two types of protection: 1. Without Seed Certification The owner of the protected variety may exclude others from reproducing the variety, selling it, offering it for sale, importing or exporting it, or use it in the commercial production of a hybrid or a different variety without permission. In this sense, the owner of a protected variety may bring civil damage action against anyone who infringes upon his rights.

2. Certified Seed Option The owner may specify that the seed of his variety “…be sold or advertised only as a class of Certified Seed”. Production and sale of such seed by variety name, when

not certified, constitute a violation of the Federal Seed Act. This means of protection may be used extensively for publicly as well as privately developed varieties.

Amendments to the Plant Variety Protection Act (PVPA) have passed both houses of Congress and been signed into law by the President. These amendments went into effect in 1995. The farmers exemption has been changed for new varieties. Seed for varieties issued a certificate after April 4, 1995, may only be purchased from the owner or his agent. A farmer can only save seed of these varieties for use on his own farm and cannot sell seed of the protected variety to his neighbor.

A variety protected under the certification option does not permit a farmer producing seed to sell or offer for sale or advertise by variety name unless it is certified. Sale of such seed by variety name as uncertified seed will constitute a violation of the Federal Seed Act. Interstate movement of seed is subject to inspection by Federal Seed Control officials. Seed within the state is subject to inspection by State Department of Agriculture inspectors.

Owners of protected varieties will give public notice that their variety is protected by affixing to the label or container the words: “Unauthorized Propagation Prohibited” or the words, “Unauthorized Seed Multiplication Prohibited”. Producers must check the label (tag) or the container for the above wording.

Red meat exports move higher

March exports of both U.S. beef and pork increased year-over-year in volume, according to statistics released by USDA and compiled by the U.S. Meat Export Federation (USMEF). March export values were lower than a year ago but trended upward, with both reaching a 2016 high.

Beef exports totaled 89,482 metric tons (mt) in March, up 3 percent from a year ago and pushing first-quarter volume to 254,986 mt – up 2 percent. March export value was $483.3 million, down 8 percent from a year ago but the highest since December. For the first quarter, export value was $1.36 billion – down 13 percent from the same period last year.

March pork exports were the largest in 11 months at 195,898 mt, up 3 percent year-over-year. First-quarter exports reached 534,321 mt, up 2 percent. March export value ($480.4 million) was down 3 percent from a year ago but the highest since May 2015. First-quarter export value totaled $1.3 billion, 9 percent below last year’s pace.

“Exports showed an encouraging level of improvement in March, especially to our key Asian markets,” said USMEF President and CEO Philip Seng. “The U.S. pork industry is now better positioned to capitalize on strong demand in China. Pork exports to Japan were also higher, though we are still in a very tough battle for market share as Japan’s imports from Europe increased at a faster pace. On the beef side, exports continued to perform well in Japan, South Korea and Taiwan. So while U.S. exports continue to recover from a down year in 2015, volumes are on track for improvement in most markets this year.” ##### If you’re caught without a lure and have a fishing trip ahead, use aluminum foil instead. Cover your hook with foil, then rip it away in small sections so that it will dance in the water. Fish will be attracted to the movement and reflected light.

##### If you have any doubt that tea really is a panacea, here’s one more amazing use for it; nurturing your plants and keeping them moist. Place a lining of tea bags along the bottom of the plant container, then pot and water as usual.

USDA announces CRP results

Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack announced the enrollment of more than 800,000 acres in the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP). Through CRP, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) helps farmers offset the costs of restoring, enhancing and protecting certain grasses, shrubs and trees that improve water quality, prevent soil erosion and strengthen wildlife habitat. Farmers’ and ranchers’ participation in CRP continues to provide numerous benefits to our nation, including helping reduce emissions of harmful greenhouse gases and providing resiliency to future weather changes.

“The Conservation Reserve Program provides nearly $2 billion annually to land owners – dollars that make their way into local economies, supporting small businesses and creating jobs. When these direct benefits are taken together with the resulting economic activity, the benefits related to CRP are estimated at $3.1 billion annually,” said Vilsack. “Over the past 30 years, CRP has created major environmental improvements throughout the countryside. The program has removed carbon dioxide from the atmosphere equal to removing nine million cars from the road annually, and prevented 600 million dump trucks of soil from erosion.

With today’s announcement, USDA is continuing these achievements by maximizing conservation benefits within the limitations provided by law.”

This was one of the most selective sign-up periods in CRP’s 30-year history, with a record high Environmental Benefits Index cut-off and the lowest-percentage of applications accepted. The high bar means that the per-acre conservation benefits are being maximized and that acres enrolled address multiple conservation priorities simultaneously.

A nationwide acreage limit was established for this program in the 2014 Farm Bill, capping the total number of acres that may be enrolled at 24 million for fiscal years 2017 and 2018. At the same time, USDA has experienced a record demand from farmers and ranchers interested in participating in the voluntary program. As of March 2016, 23.8 million acres were enrolled in CRP, with 1.7 million acres set to expire this fall.

Over three million acres have been offered for enrollment this year across the three main categories within CRP, with USDA’s Farm Service Agency (FSA) receiving over 26,000 offers to enroll more than 1.8 million acres during the general enrollment period, and over 4,600 offers to enroll more than one million acres in the new CRP Grasslands program.

Coming off a record-setting 2015 continuous enrollment of over 860,000 acres, more than 364,000 acres already have been accepted for 2016 in the CRP continuous enrollment, triple the pace of last year.

FSA will accept 411,000 acres in general enrollment, the most competitive selection in in the history of the program, with the acreage providing record high conservation benefits.

USDA selected offers by weighing environmental factors plus cost, including wildlife enhancement, water quality, soil erosion, enduring benefits, and air quality.

The results of the first-ever enrollment period for CRP Grasslands, FSA will also accept 101,000 acres in the program, providing participants with financial assistance for establishing approved grasses, trees and shrubs on pasture and rangeland that can continue to be grazed. More than 70 percent of these acres are diverse native grasslands under threat of conversion, and more than 97 percent of the acres have a new, veteran or underserved farmer or rancher as a primary producer. FSA continues to accept CRP Grasslands offers and will conduct another ranking period later this year.

Acres are ranked according to current and future use, new and underserved producer involvement, maximum grassland preservation, vegetative cover, pollinator habitat and various other environmental factors.

Participants in CRP establish long-term, resourceconserving plant species, such as approved grasses or trees (known as “covers”) to control soil erosion, improve water quality and develop wildlife habitat on marginally productive agricultural lands. In return, FSA provides participants with rental payments and cost-share assistance. Contract duration is between 10 and 15 years.

CRP is currently protecting more than 100,000 acres of bottomland hardwood trees, nearly 300,000 acres of floodplain wetlands, and 300,000 acres each for duck nesting habitat and nearly 250,000 acres of upland bird habitat. In addition, CRP is creating economic benefits that include at least $545 million per year in recreation benefits and water quality benefits from reduced sedimentation of $587 million per year.

Throughout the Obama Administration, USDA has generated thousands of critical partnerships to conserve and protect our natural resources on working landscapes, while enrolling a record number of acres in conservation programs. Seventy-percent of the nation’s land is owned and tended to privately, and America’s farmers, ranchers and landowners have willingly stepped up to address the growing impacts of a changing climate. With USDA’s support, they work to implement voluntary practices that improve air and water quality, prevent soil erosion and create and protect wildlife habitat.

Since 2009, USDA has invested more than $29 billion to help producers make conservation improvements, working with as many as 500,000 farmers, ranchers and landowners to protect land and water on over 400 million acres nationwide.

Detecting decay inside bagged lettuce

By Sharon Durham, Agricultural Research Service Fresh-cut lettuce sold in bags is a desirable yet highly perishable product because tissue decay can start a few days after processing and is difficult to detect through the bag with the naked eye.

Agricultural Research Service (ARS) plant geneticist Ivan Simko, with the Crop Improvement and Protection Research Laboratory in Salinas, California—in collaboration with researchers from Australia—designed a system for the early detection and evaluation of decay.

The researchers developed two lettuce-decay indices to help select breeding lines yielding longer-lasting cut lettuce.

The indices also allow researchers to identify lettuce damage caused by freezing temperatures.

One index is based on evaluations performed with hyperspectral imaging, and the other with chlorophyll fluorescence imaging.

A hyperspectral sensor identifies decay by measuring light waves that bounce off plant tissues. Unlike the human eye, which sees only visible light, hyperspectral imaging detects a much broader electromagnetic spectrum-including the ultraviolet, near-infrared, and infrared regions.

Chlorophyll fluorescence imaging measures biological activity in leaf tissue and uses light re-emitted by chlorophyll to find decay.

The cameras used in these two technologies mimic human sight while avoiding subjective errors, according to Simko. In turn, the researchers can test breeding lines for longer shelf life and breed that trait into current lettuce cultivars grown for processing as bagged produce.

This research appeared in Postharvest Biology and Technology (http://www.journals.elsevier.com/postharvestbiology-and-technology/) in April 2015.

Read more about this research in the April 2016 issue of AgResearch (http://agresearchmag.ars.usda.gov/2016/ apr/lettuce/). ARS is the USDA’s chief intramural scientific research agency.

Blonde dials 911

A blonde dials 911 to report that her car has been broken into. She is hysterical as she explains her situation to the dispatcher.

“They’ve stolen the dashboard, the steering wheel, the brake pedal, and even the accelerator!” she cries.

The 911 dispatcher says, “Stay calm. An officer is on the way. He will be there in two minutes.”

Before the police get to the crime scene, however, the 911 dispatcher’s telephone rings a second time, and the same blonde is on the line again.

“Never mind,” giggles the blonde, “I got in the back seat by mistake.” ##### You have a pot that’s in need of a good scrubbing, but you’re out of steel wool.

Simply reach for the aluminum foil! Roll it into a ball and use it (with some dishwashing liquid) to scrub off caked-on grease. This is also a great way to reuse foil before you recycle it. ##### The earliest known frog fossils were found in Arizona and are thought to be about 190 million years old.

On a plane bound for New York, the flight attendant approached a blonde sitting in the first class section and requested that she move to coach since she did not have a first class ticket. The blonde replied, “I’m blonde, I’m beautiful, I’m going to New York, and I’m not moving.”

Not wanting to argue with a customer, the flight attendant asked the co-pilot to speak with her.

He went to talk to the woman asking her to please move out of the first class section. Again, the blonde replied, “I’m blonde, I’m beautiful, I’m going to New

York, and I’m not moving.”

The co-pilot returned to the cockpit and asked the captain what he should do. The captain said, “I’m married to a blonde, and I know how to handle this.” He went to the first class section and whispered in the blonde’s ear. She immediately jumped up and ran to the coach section mumbling to herself, “Why didn’t anyone just say so?”

Surprised, the flight attendant and the co-pilot asked what he said to her that finally convinced her to move from her seat.

He said, “I told her the first class section wasn’t going to New York.”
