Quick Bits Interest Rates The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) announced loan interest rates for June 2022, which are effective June 1. USDA’s Farm Service Agency (FSA) loans provide important access to capital to help agricultural producers start or expand their farming operation, purchase equipment and storage structures or meet cash flow needs. Producers can explore available options at fsa.usda.gov or by contacting a local USDA Service Center.

BLM announces largest land purchase in Wyoming’s history The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) recently purchased the Marton Ranch, acquiring 35,670 acres of private land southwest of Casper.

The Marton Ranch borders 8.8 miles of the North Platte River east of Alcova.

This is the BLM’s largest land purchase in Wyoming to date. This purchase, along with another land acquisition in Colorado, will unlock 40,000 acres of land and create a 118-square-mile block of public land.

BLM partnered with The Conservation Fund to finalize this land acquisition. The purchase supports the Biden administration’s America the Beautiful Initiative, also known as 30x30, to conserve 30 percent of U.S. land

by 2030.

The newly purchased land will be available for outdoor recreational use and the BLM’s conservation of wildlife.

“Initially, the lands will be Please see BLM on page A7

Restoring Competition Two meat processing facilities plan to open in South Dakota Kingsbury & Associates, LLC and Sirius Realty announced plans to develop a $1.1 billion beef and bison processing facility, which will process 8,000 head per day. The plant will be located off Highway 79 in the Black Hills Industrial Park, south of Rapid City, S.D. Kingsbury & Associates, LLC President and CEO Megan R. Kingsbury says the facility is in the research and development phase until the end of 2022, and groundbreaking will occur beginning of 2023, with a projected three-year timeline from groundbreaking to the initial beef and bison line opening.

Kingsbury is a fifth-generation Angus cow/calf producer in western South Dakota who is aware of the challenges producers face due to the power of the big four meatpackers.

“What we are doing is creating competition in the American beef market, breaking the chokehold of the big four packers on the producers and putting the money back into the industry supply chain,” she says.

High-tech facility Kingsbury states the facility is projected to hire 2,500 employees. The tech component of the Please see MEAT on page A4

Pork Report

As of June 1, pork trim prices have failed to keep pace with the market a year ago. Pork trim in cold storage at the end of April 2021 was 41.3 million pounds, 15% lower than the 2017-19 average. At the end of April 2022, the supply of pork trim in cold storage was 26% higher than the previous year and also 6.8% higher than the 2017-19 average. Exports to China are currently running 60% to 65% below a year ago, and this year’s pork exports are expected to be down about seven percent.

Parasite control ASI hosts management strategy webinar The American Sheep Industry (ASI) sponsored a webinar on May 26 titled “Integrated Parasite Management Strategies for Sheep Producers” featuring North Carolina State University Extension Small Ruminant Specialist Dr. Andrew Weaver discussing parasite management strategies, parasite biology and host-parasite interactions.

Parasite biology Weaver shares when developing a management strategy, the first thing to understand is the biology of a parasite.

“There are a lot of worms that could infect our animals,” he states. “A lot of them fall in a family of parasites called strongylid nematodes.”

He notes protozoa parasites are also of concern, in addition to helminths and ectoparasites. A common parasite impacting sheep and goats is Heamonchus contortus, otherwise known as a stomach worm.

By understanding the lifecycle of a parasite, producers can then implement different management strategies to help mitigate infection.

Dogs detect potato diseases Nose Knows Scouting Founder Andrea Parish uses dogs to sniff out potato diseases.

Dogs have been used for many tasks such as finding bombs, drugs, lost people and even detecting cancer in human patients several months before medical tests are able to. But no one had ever trained dogs to detect potato diseases.

Parish has trained many dogs and wanted to train one to do search and rescue in Wyoming.

“I did a two-week intensive certification course with a hound named Alva, which had been taught by a former Federal Bureau of Investigation specialist. I was ready to start doing search and rescue but the dog injured a knee and needed surgery,” Parish says.

The dog recovered, but Parish was looking for something else the dog might be able to do.

Starting a detecting business “My husband is a consultant in the potato business. I asked him if anyone was using dogs to detect disease in potato crops, and he said nobody was,” she explains.

Farmers use visual detection of diseases such as potato virus Y (PVY) and bacterial ring rot (BRR), but these are not visible until after the potatoes are seriously infected, she notes.

“Dogs are much better at detecting most things; their nose is much better than our eyes. I partnered with a university to start training dogs to do this, and then COVID-19 hit and the university was shut down,” explains Parish. “I reached out to University of Idaho Extension Plant Virologist Alex Karasev and asked him for some PVY, and he was able to supply me with some plant material.”

UW Wool Judging Team finishes season strong Laramie – The University of Wyoming (UW) Wool Judging Team wrapped up a successful 2021-2022 season with a fourth place finish at the San Antonio Livestock Show and Rodeo Wool Judging Competition on Feb. 11. It was the highest UW has placed in a Texas contest since the revitalization of the wool judging program.

“I am so proud of the team members, assistant coaches and industry support this program has received,” says Whit Stewart, UW Wool Judging Team coach and UW Extension sheep specialist.

In San Antonio, the team finished fourth overall, fourth in oral reasons, fourth in placings and fourth in the grading rail.

“To consistently be in the top three to five in all our contests this spring really shows the dedication to the program we have built here at UW,” Stewart remarks.

Members of this year’s wool judging team included Wyatt Crane from Wheatland; Macy Collins of Meeker, Colo.; Tessa Maurer from Arvada, Colo.; Casey Spencer of Sonoma, Calif.; Jacob Smylie from Douglas; Kylie Strauch of Van Tassell; and Payton Timberman from Moorcroft. Assistant coaches were Dylan Laverell, Amy Newman and Courtney Newman.

The team kicked off the season in December 2021 with an impressive first

Wyoming Livestock Roundup • Volume 34 No. 6 • June 4, 2022

Beef, It's Looking Up For those involved in the beef industry, the last few days have been somewhat positive. These days we’ll take any positives and sit up a little taller in the saddle.

Of course, the big news is the rain most of us have received lately in our region, and our favorite weatherman, From the Don Day, says more is on the way. We’ll Publisher Dennis Sun take it.

As of May 31, the Casper area has received seven inches of precipitation for the year. Over Memorial Day weekend, I’ve been holding rain dances, weather permitting.

While the cost of inputs and inflation are really hurting us, lamb and beef demand is high and predicted to go higher. Hopefully this will mean more dollars to the feeders and producers.

The U.S. Meat Export Federation (USMEF) held their spring conference last week, the first in-person conference since 2019.

Those attending were from the U.S., Asia, Mexico, Central and South America, Africa, the Caribbean countries and Europe.

USMEF President and CEO Dan Halstrom said, “To date, demand for U.S. red meat has been as strong as I’ve seen in all my years in the meat business, and remarkably resilient. But the question in my mind is, at what point do these inflationary pressures start to constrict disposable income for the global consumer? At what point will we see a crack in demand?”

The good news is he thinks the new foodservice and retail trends which exploded during the pandemic are likely here to stay.

One speaker, author and consultant, Peter Zeinan, projected food insecurity will rise around the globe and said conditions are ripe for regional famines.

He continued to say, “While American farmers and ranchers face sharply higher input costs, their production and supply chain challenges are not as drastic as in many other regions of the world.”

So, despite significant obstacles, he emphasized U.S. agriculture is well positioned for robust growth over the next 10 to 12 years.

I was reading an article from Progressive Farmer, DTN saying the three bullish factors continuing to bode well for the feeder cattle market are beef cow slaughter, supply/demand mechanics and U.S. beef exports. A large minus for feeder cattle are the high grain prices.

As the article read, we have to realize 2021 was a record year for beef cow slaughter. Out of the 52-week calendar year, there were 18 weeks in 2021 when beef cow slaughter exceeded 70,000 head, which is incredibly unusual.

But in 2022, there has only been one week when beef cow slaughter hasn’t exceeded 70,000 head. This was partially brought on by the drought. Fewer beef cows means demand for these cattle should strengthen, which should send prices higher too.

This past week at cattle auctions, cows were bringing upper $80 and bulls around $115 per hundred weight. These are prices we haven’t seen for some time.

The U.S. beef exports in 2021 were great and so far in 2022, exports have risen by over seven percent. This year-over-year growth in beef exports is a strong supportive factor in our U.S. beef cattle market.

In these times, it is great to read on positive overtones, and it is a great time to head to Cheyenne June 8-11 for the Wyoming Stock Growers Association 150th Anniversary Celebration and summer convention.

GUEST OPINIONS The Work Goes On

By Jim Magagna

For many months, the leadership and staff of Wyoming Stock Growers Association (WSGA) have put tremendous effort into making this week’s 150th Anniversary Celebration a memorable event. Thank you!

During this time, WSGA has not relaxed the intensity of our commitment to address the issues affecting Wyoming ranchers every day.

At the state level, WSGA was instrumental in passing legislation including addressing wild horse management, protection of water rights and providing for the issuance of revenue bonds I support of value-added agriculture.

Looking forward to the 2023 legislative session, WSGA is collaborating with legislative committees to address trespass issues, state land matters and fencing. WSGA maintains a close working relationship with key state agencies includ-

ing Wyoming Department of Agriculture, Wyoming Game and Fish Department, Wyoming Livestock Board and Wyoming Office of State Lands and Investments, as well as with our state elected officials.

Turning to the federal side, the past year has presented uncertainty as we strive to assess the opportunities for agriculture being touted by the current administration while reaming vigilant in opposing regulatory changes which would have significant negative impacts on the ranching community.

WSGA works closely with Wyoming’s Congressional delegation to identify legislative opportunities which directly benefit our industry.

Participation in litigation has become a necessary tool in defending ranchers’ rights.

WSGA is proud of the recent win in federal district court which upheld the reissuance of

U.S. Forest Service grazing permits in the Upper Green.

Recently, WSGA has taken steps to engage in the current litigation involving corner crossing trespass on private lands in the checkerboard area.

These WSGA activities are guided by policies adopted by our members participating in our annual Winter Roundup or annual Wyoming Cattle Industry Convention. This process begins with the opportunity to hear from key individuals in meetings of any one of our nine committees and to participate in drafting resolutions which are put before the membership meeting for adoption.

This scenario will take place once again on June 9, during committee meetings, and on June 10, during the membership meeting.

In the following committees, key topics will include: Finance & Tax, ag land valua-

tion process, current ag credit overview; Ag Promotion, University of Wyoming College of Agriculture update; Brand, brand program funding; Federal Lands, agency and industry updates; Livestock Health, disease updates, disease traceability; Marketing, beef processing expansion; Private and State Lands, state land issues, Natural Resources Conservation Service update, trespass; Water, groundwater challenges; and Wildlife, landowner licenses and elk overpopulations.

WSGA members will have the opportunity to address these topics and raise other concerns at each committee meeting. Yes, even as 150th anniversary attendees enjoy a rodeo, entertainment and a parade, the work goes on.

Jim Magagna is the Wyoming Stock Growers Association executive vice president.

FMDV findings revealed Research at the Pirbright Institute reveals the foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) interacts with immune cells in tissues called lymphoid tissues, which are an essential part of the immune system.

This helps the virus to persist in animals such as African buffalo and allows these animals to become carriers of the disease, which in turn poses a risk to other susceptible livestock.

Understanding how the animal immune system fights FMDV may provide further insight into how to create vaccines giving long-lasting immunity to livestock.

Current vaccines provide short-term protection, so a better understanding of immunity to this disease could lead to the development of longer lasting vaccines benefitting those farmers whose livelihoods (food and economic security) depend on their herds.

Previous Pirbright research has shown FMDV persists in African buffalo and understanding how this occurred is the next step in the fight against this virus. In this study, scientists used a mouse model for a detailed investigation. They discovered FMDV binds to cells in the immune system called follicular dendritic cells, which are essential for presenting the virus to the immune system so it can prevent disease.

Researchers also found FMDV binds to a receptor known as CR2/CR1 on the follicular dendritic cells. This receptor is important in the adaptive immune response and this research demonstrated it was essential for trapping and retaining the virus, which in turn leads to a better and longer-lived immune response.

The study also revealed which lymphoid tissues were important in FMDV infection and correlated to researchers’ predictions on the origins of persistence in African buffalo.

NRCS accepting applications U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) in Wyoming is currently accepting applications for EQIP Big Game Conservation.

EQIP is a voluntary farm bill program which provides financial assistance to address priority resource concerns. This sign up is to address resource concerns related to conserving wildlife and migration corridors and to keep working lands working.

Producers have until June 22 to submit applications.

The EQIP Big Game Conservation sign up provides benefits for Wyoming producers through incentivizing conservation practices such as wildlife-friendly fencing, upland wildlife habitat management, brush management, fence removal, pest management, wet meadow restoration, prescribed grazing, herbaceous weed treatment and brush or aspen treatments. Supporting practices are not listed but may be included as needed to support terrestrial wildlife habitat projects.

This opportunity is available to all producers who own or manage private agricultural land within Wyoming.

Producers must have farm records current with the Farm Service Agency (FSA) and submit a complete program application to NRCS to be considered for financial assistance through EQIP. If producers do not currently have up-to-date farm records with FSA, they have until June 24 to establish such records with their local FSA office.

Applications are accepted at all Wyoming NRCS offices located in USDA Service Centers across the state.

MEAT continued from page A1 facility, including artificial intelligence and robotics, results in less of a demand for human workers and provides higher paying wages.

She notes the production lines will be robotic driven with artificial intelligence. Kingsbury projects this facility will be a safe and clean place for employees to work and will be a good neighbor to the community.

“There is no facility like this within North America,” she says. “The technology integrated takes the ‘sweat shop’ environment – hazardous jobs and horrible, horrible stories people often hear and associate with this type of production facility

– out of the equation.”

Kingsbury notes the big four meatpackers currently have a hold over what producers can achieve. She feels it’s time for a change.

“The goal for this facility is to put America first and to restore competition back into the agriculture market, particularly the beef processing market,” she says. “There’s profit to be made both up and down the supply chain, and everyone wins when the American people are selfsufficient with high-quality, affordable protein.”

Kingsbury encourages Americans to open meat processing facilities, such as this one, to continue restoring competition.

“The goal for this facility is to put America first and to restore competition back into the agriculture market, particularly the beef processing market.” – Megan R. Kingsbury, Kingsbury & Associates, LLC “It’s very important for smaller facilities to continue to open in the U.S. We will partner with them, we will support them, we will certainly not cut into their profits by any means as those facilities are able to do unique, custom cuts for the discerning producer and the discerning buyer,” she says.

ASI continued from page A1 into the feces of the sheep, hatch within one to two days into L1 larvae and, as they grow, they develop into L2 and L3 larvae.

“The L3 stage is very important,” he shares. “It’s the only infectious stage to the host. The sheep can consume as many L1 and L2 larvae as they want and they will never get infected.

It’s only the L3 larvae that can infect the host.”

Once L3 larvae is consumed by the host, it molts into L4 larvae, then the adult worm.

Managing parasites: Determining which animals to deworm Producers first need to identify the problem when livestock become sick – whether it’s from a parasite or something else.

“There is no point in spending our resources when it’s not a problem,” mentions Weaver. “We first need to identify the problem and what parasite is causing this problem, and we can then accurately determine how we’re going to address it.”

A common quote Weaver recalls is, “You can’t select or improve something you don’t measure.”

He encourages producers to measure traits associated with parasitism in order to make data-driven decisions to manage the infection.

“A simple place to start is deworming records,” he says. “Many producers already do this, it’s something easy to record and is a great place to start if records are not currently being kept.”

He encourages producers to keep track of dewormed animals, dates and dewormers used. He notes a con of deworming is producers don’t know the actual parasite infecting the host.

One tool, FAMACHA scoring, uses a numeric score to identify and selectively deworm sheep and goats with anemia. Scoring requires producers to assess anemia status based on mucus membrane color around the eye.

A more parasitized animal will have paler coloration. It’s an easy, onfarm assessment, but it is only relevant to Haemonchus contortus infections and is somewhat subjective. Training is required, he shares.

Other assessment tools include a five-point check, which is a comprehensive analysis of an animal’s condition and need for deworming.

Deworming effectiveness “Fecal Egg Counts (FEC) are simply the mea-

sure of the number of strongylid parasite eggs in one gram of fecal matter,” he says. “It’s very important to understand we can’t distinguish the different types of strongylid parasites by the egg stage.”

This process requires a larval culture to determine what species of a parasite is infecting the host.

FEC is taken at the time of deworming, then taken again 10 to 14 days later, and there should be a 95 percent or greater reduction in FEC. If there is not at least a 95 percent reduction, this tells producers the dewormer was not as effective as it should be, he explains.

“This can be a great tool to determine if our deworming products are effective and serves as a valuable selection tool for improving parasite resistance in a flock,” he says.

Corrective actions “Unfortunately, there is no single tool or method as a golden ticket,” he says.

“Rather, a combination of multiple tools and methods is the best solution to manage parasitism.”

From an environmental perspective, a producer can manage parasites through forage height and/or grazing rotation, stocking rate, tannin-containing forages, multi-species grazing and supplementation rate. From an animal management system, producers can consider targeted selective treatment, combination treatments, copper oxide wire particles and genetic selection.

He encourages producers to select several of these tools to effectively manage parasite populations.

“There are a lot of tools available to put in a toolbox, and producers need to create a plan – think what is practical and what can be implemented and use a combination of different methods,” he notes. “Think about multiple tools and how they will work together.”

He encourages producers to continue monitoring parasites to ensure management tools are working.

“After producers implement these tools, they need to continue to monitor and evaluate results to make sure the plans they put in place remain effective,” he says. “If producers continue to have high FEC, explore other options and add tools to the toolbox.”

POSTCARD from the Past

Compiled by Dick Perue rrichardperue@gmail.com

Not a Kidnapping Case Thus reads an article in the Aug. 16, 1913 issue of the little-known Jireh Record listed as from Jireh, which was evidently in Niobrara County close to the town of Lusk.

Last week a dashing, daring, young blood, whose initials are G.F.R., took two of Lusk’s fairest damsels for a buggy ride – a rare thing in these days of automobilism.

You know in driving a team of gentle horses, the adept driver can always have one arm free, so as to protect the young lady in his charge, but with two young ladies and still only one free arm, it is a puzzle to know how he could distribute the arm-protection. He must have had his arm full, that is, his hands full.

However, the buggy ride continued on and on, and although the dainty damsels implored the designing driver to turn around and take them home, he still kept on until he reached his father’s ranch; it began to rain.

Now, if there is one thing this young man is afraid of, it is rain, so he prevailed on the young

ladies to send word to their anxious mothers; it was not an elopement but just a lark. Their mothers’ anxiety having been delayed; the fair young debutantes proceeded to enjoy themselves.

Their romantic situation did not seem to have any effect on their appetites, so with the aid of the dashing, daring, young

man aforesaid, they set to work and prepared a tempting meal of fried chicken and the usual accessories.

After dinner – it is still raining remember – they had a jolly time with music and song, for the young Lothario is also a tenor robusto, so you can imagine the fine time they all had.

With motherly care, the bad young man’s mother tucked the kidnapped kids in bed and he, the weather having in the meantime become fair to middling, next day returned them to the arms of their ecstatic mothers.

Both damsels declare they had a “perfectly lovely time.”

According to information obtained from Wyoming Tales and Trails, “Between Manville and Keeline are the remnants of Jireh College, which operated from 1909 until 1920. The boys’ dormitory in the main building (depicted above) was on the top floor. The girls’ dormitory and house-mother’s quarters were on the second floor, and the dining room and kitchen were in the basement. Nearby was the town of Jireh, founded at the same time as the college. The town at one time had two banks, a lumber yard, post office, store, express office, three general stores, a rooming house, hotel, blacksmith and newspaper. The newspaper, Jireh Record, published from 1913 until January 1914.” Historical Reproductions by Perue

No test on bales of hay. Visiting with hay contacts many think it will be the middle of June before much hay will be cut and baled. Cooler than normal temperatures have held off the springtime growth of alfalfa, timothy, triticale, and other forages. Some reports of winter kill in some of the perennial hay fields. Some areas of the state received a nice rain over Memorial Day weekend and has improved the drought conditions in some counties. Several counties are listed at abnormally dry instead of moderate drought like the drought monitor showed a few weeks ago.

Few, reports of new crop alfalfa but not enough for a market comparison. Demand was moderate to good. Spotty rain showers over the Memorial Day weekend across most of the state. Some areas did have large hail and wind damage. Some reports that tonnage on new crop alfalfa is “normal” on irrigated fields in the Eastern areas. Per NASS: Corn planted was 95%, near 97% last year and 94% for the five-year average. Emerged was 73%, behind 81% last year. Soybeans planted was 87%, behind 93% last year, but near 83% average.

UW continued from page A1 place finish at the WildCatCowboy-Jackrabbit Invitational in Manhattan, Kan. In addition to earning high team overall, they were also the first team in reasons, placings and grading rail.

At the 7220 Wool Judging Invitational on Jan. 11, in Laramie, the team placed second overall. They also finished as high team in placings, third high team in the grading rail and the second high team in value-added.

Two days later, at the National Western Stock Show Wool Judging Contest in Denver, Colo., the UW team took fourth overall. They also placed second high team in the grading rail, third high team in reasons, first and second in

value-added and fourth in the hand-spinning contest.

In the fourth competition of the season, at the Black Hills Stock Show in Rapid City, S.D., the UW wool judgers placed second overall. They were also the high team in reasons, placings and value-added.

Incoming lead coach Courtney Newman says, “This season was the best one yet. All seven team members worked extremely hard and they were rewarded with a successful season. Each one will use their skills to achieve great things in their studies and personal lives.”

Team member Macy Collins says, “Starting off as strangers and building an unbreakable bond after

DOGS continued from page A1 The dogs learned the odor in about two weeks. Currently farms hire Parish to check for potato diseases, she mentions.

“It takes humans about 16 weeks to learn how to handle the dogs. However, the team – the handler and the dog – is what is most important,” she explains.

Canine partners and process Her dog Raya, a Vizslalab cross, sniffs out ring rot and can quickly and easily check an entire storage area and the equipment in it before new seed potatoes are brought in.

“We will eventually sell trained dogs to farmers, and the farmer would have to go through one of our handling schools. Our dogs are certified, just like a bomb dog, to show they can do what we say they can do,” Parish says.

Parish has traveled to several dozen farms across the country, from Oregon to Maine, demonstrating how dogs can

sniff and detect all three strains of PVY as well as BRR. Farmers can also send potato samples to her for her dogs to test.

The dogs enjoy their work – it is like a game. However, only about one percent of dogs can do this, and the hard part is finding a dog to be trained to detect the diseases.

They can all detect odors, but most of them are not interested in showing what they are finding, she notes.

“We put the dogs through a week of testing to see if they will work out,” Parish says.

“We often have dogs we have trained on odor and they know it well, but they are not interested in showing us.”

So far, she has had to drop two dogs from the program.

One is now living a good life as a pet and the other is a bird dog – which she loves doing.

The key is finding what the dog really wants to do, and some breeds are better at this

BLM continued from page A1 managed the same as adjoining BLM-managed lands, until the BLM can conduct a public land use planning process,” says BLM High Plains District Public Affairs Specialist Tyson Finnicum.

“Many of the historical uses of the property, such as grazing, hunting, fishing and other forms of recreation, will continue.”

Tax concerns Natrona County Commissioner Rob Hendry mentions agriculturists generally view “no net gain of public land” as a good policy to follow. Hendry says his main concern with BLM purchasing the Marton Ranch is the tax money the state, county and schools will lose.

“When 35,000 acres of tax production is taken into government hands, we lose out on those taxes,” he says.

“For this year, it will be an estimated $18,000 loss in tax money.”

Hendry notes the majority of tax money, about 70 percent, goes towards school

funding, so he worries schools will struggle to make up for this loss.

“Hopefully we can work with BLM to figure out a way to replace the money,” he says.

Hendry says the BLM may contribute payment in lieu of taxes (PILT) money to the commission. PILT money is a federal payment to local governments to help offset losses in property taxes due to nontaxable federal lands within their boundaries.

“Natrona County received about $3.8 million last year in PILT money,” he says.

Although BLM may add a good amount of PILT money, he feels this may not be enough to make up for the loss.

“While that’s great and sounds good, PILT has to be authorized by Congress every year,” Hendry says. “If one of these times it doesn’t get authorized, then not only the county, but the schools would really lose out.”

four months is the most rewarding aspect of wool judging. I will forever think of the wool judging team as family.”

Coach Newman is already excited for next season.

“We’re looking forward to building off the success of last season and using the momentum those seven individuals brought to have an even more successful team next year,” Newman says.

Best-suited canines “Hounds are more suitable for tracking rather than for target odors. A good dog is 99 percent accurate; however, PCR testing for potato diseases is only about 30 percent accurate because of a small sample size,” Parish says.

“The dogs checking for ring rot can sweep an entire storage unit or truck, like a bomb dog, whereas a farmer can only swab samples,” she shares. “The dog is much more efficient and can check a much larger area, saving a lot of time.”

When checking a bin or field, dogs don’t have to check each potato or plant.

They go right past the ones not infected; they can smell it from a distance.

Her preference is to have the dogs check the tubers before they are planted, rather than waiting and checking the planted field.

“Dogs can detect it in the tuber 48 hours after inoculaManaging the land Aside from loss in taxes, Hendry also has concern over the management of the land.

“I hope BLM has some sort of controlled access out there,” he says. “While the public will have access to hunt, they do need to have some limits on it in order to take care of this part of the country. It’s their country now, so we don’t have much control, but I hope they do that.”

Finnicum ensures proper measures will be taken while managing the land.

“We have BLM Rangers patrolling public lands, and we get support from other law enforcement agencies, like the county, as well,” he says. “But they can’t be everywhere at once. It’s up to all of us as public land users to protect the land, leave it how it was found and report violations if witnessed.”

tion. This way producers can start off with a much cleaner field. After the plants are about a foot high, the dogs are no faster than the scouts and have to walk each row,” she explains.

“The dogs walk each row like a scout would, but they are simply sniffing for odor, which is a lot easier than having to visually check the plants. The dogs don’t need the visual,” she says.

“As the plants get taller, the odor is harder for the dogs

to detect, so we like to go out in the fields when the plants are just popping out of the ground,” she mentions. “But we prefer to check the tubers before they are ever planted.”

Innovative tool Parish says this is just another tool for potato growers. It won’t replace PCR or enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay testing, but the dogs are very accurate and efficient. This can give producers another layer of confidence in ensuring product is clean and

free of diseases.

A dog can check 40 acres in 20 minutes and detect an infected one-inch-high plant from about 80 feet away, she notes.

Parish has since been hired to work with several state seed potato certification programs, and she will also be helping individual potato seed growers.
