Yuba-Sutter Native Plant Profile: Trillium

Scientific Name: Trillium

angustipetalum

Common: Narrowpetal wakerobin

Family: Melanthiaceae

Trillium angustipetalum is native to northern and central California and southwestern Oregon. Found at elevations between 100 and 6500 feet in montane conifer forest, foothill woodland, chaparral, and riparian woodland. It is shade and low water tolerant.

Trillium is a rhizomatous perennial herb growing up to 28 inches in height. There are three leaves in a whorl often described as bracts, up to almost 10 inches in width and length, sort of oval. The leaves are often mottled with brownish or darker green spots. The flower appears from March through April. It is made up of three lance-shaped purple or marron petals just over 4 inches long, surrounded by three lance-shaped green or red sepals. There is no flower stalk (pedicel). The flower generally has a musty or fetid odor.

Trilliums are myrmecochorus, that is, ants are needed for seed dispersal. They eat the outer fleshy part of the fruit, sometimes while the fruit is still attached to the plant then discard the seed. Picking parts off the plant can kill the whole plant even if the rhizome is not disturbed.

How to Utilize in Your Landscape

You might already have these plants growing on your property if you have not previously landscaped it. If you would like to utilize them as part of a new landscape design, the plants can take several years to flower from seed. They can be easily propagated from their rhizomes (horizontal underground stems). It is best to obtain rhizomes from a reputable source, ensuring they were not dug from the wild.

The recommended nursery that carries these plants in California (from Calscape.org) is:

Central Coast Wilds

336A Golf Club Drive, Santa Cruz, CA 95060

If you are propagating from rhizomes, cut the rhizome into separate sections. Each section should have at least two nodes to be suitable for replanting. Plant rhizomes in well-drained soil to avoid oversaturation, which can kill the roots.

Why utilize native plants for landscaping?

They can reduce water usage, as they are adapted to our drier climate. Likewise, they are low-maintenance: they do not need a lot of pesticides or fertilizers, as they are well adapted to pests and the soil conditions. Furthermore, they can also provide habitat to beneficial insects and wildlife, including pollinators native to California.

Happy Gardening!

Tractor Supply’s Spring Paper Clover Campaign for 4-H Tops $1.2 Million

he 2022 Spring Paper Clover campaign hosted by Tractor Supply Co. raised $1,254,555 to aid 4-H youth nationwide, one of the highest totals in the dozen-year history of the program.

The donations, which generate scholarships for 4-H youth, were made through Paper Clover purchases at checkout through May 8, 2022. And Tractor Supply matched any donation made on a Tractor Supply Personal Credit Card, with no limit to the match.

The Paper Clover contributions fund educational programs and provide 4-H members with the opportunity to engage in enriching camps, conferences and community projects in science, technology, engineering, mathematics, agriculture, healthy living and civic engagement.

To date, the Tractor Supply Paper Clover campaigns have raised more than $17 million.

All funds raised directly benefit Cooperative Extension’s 4-H program — with 90 percent of donations earmarked for programs in the state in which collected, and the remaining 10 percent going to help national 4-H programming. Fundraising campaigns are held in the spring and the fall. Last fall, the effort set a record with a total of $1,311,670 raised.

“We are excited to celebrate another successful fundraising campaign with our long-time partner Tractor Supply,” said Jennifer Sirangelo, President and CEO, National 4-H Council. “It is inspiring to see how so many communities believe in the power of 4-H — ensuring that even more kids can find their spark and drive their creative spirit.” Globally, 4H collaborates with independent programs to empower one million youth in 50 countries. The researchbacked 4H experience grows young people who are four times more likely to contribute to their communities; two times more likely to make healthier choices; two times more likely to be civically active; and two times more likely to participate in STEM programs.

Senators Want FTC to Investigate Price-Fixing Allegations Among Beef Companies

n an effort to encourage the U.S. Congress to use every tool at its disposal to promote competition in the agricultural sector, Sens. Mike Rounds and Elizabeth Warren have introduced a resolution asking the Federal Trade Commission to investigate beef companies for potential price fixing. The bipartisan resolution invokes a 1914 act that authorizes the president or Congress to direct the FTC to investigate alleged antitrust violations. While President Biden has used his authority under this law to call for an oil-and-gas investigation, the rule has not been used by Congress itself since the 1920s.

According to a summary of the resolution released by Rounds (R-SD) and Warren (D-MA):

“Our nation’s beef-packing industry appears rife with antitrust violations, and our ranchers, farmers, plant workers, and beef customers are all paying the price as a result. The top-four beef packers increased their market share from 32% to 85% in the past three decades. At the same time, each year since 1980, an average of nearly 17,000 cattle ranchers have gone out of business. The dominant beef packers are in turn wielding their market power over the ranchers: American ranchers today receive approximately 39 cents of every dollar a consumer spends on beef, compared

to the 60 cents they received 50 years ago, and between 2015 and 2018 the spread between the cost of wholesale beef and the price paid to ranchers increased by 60%, while the top beef packers enjoyed record profits.”

This resolution would direct the FTC to report to Congress within one year on:

• The extent of anticompetitive practices and violations of antitrust law in the beef-packing industry, including price fixing, anticompetitive acquisitions, dominance of supply chains, and monopolization.

• The monetary and other harms of anticompetitive practices and violations of antitrust law in the beef-packing industry on consumers,

businesses.

• Recommendations for legislation or other remedial actions.

“Senator Rounds continues to be a champion for competition in the U.S. Senate,” said U.S. Cattlemen’s Association Vice President Justin Tupper. “We have not yet received the results of the Department of Justice’s investigation into the beef industry directed by former Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue. This is completely unacceptable.”

Beef-packing companies have paid millions of dollars to settle beef pricefixing claims in recent years.

BEELER TRACTOR CO. A Family Business

How did Beeler Tractor Co. get started?

From memory; mind you it all started in October, 1961 with Buck and Edith Beeler and a team of local investors and farmers opening a Ford and Dearborne equipment dealership in Marysville, CA. In 1966 Buck and Edith opened a brand-new dealership at 887 Onstott Fwy. in Yuba City, CA boasting a shop facility twice as large, with more storage and more parking. They offered Ford tractors, Servis shredders, John Bean sprayers and a whole line up of other brands. In the early 1990’s the business was procured by two employees, Dick Dihel and Doug Long. The business ran and grew to other locations including a branch store in Colusa which is still open for business, a sale lot in Gridley and a store in Newcastle which has

since closed. In the background, there was family of both partners, working at the dealerships and helping to make the business grow. Around 2008 Dick retired and handed over control of the Yuba City store to his oldest son, Mike Dihel while the two other brothers, Mitch and Mark worked alongside. In 2011, Doug retired and the Dihel family procured his shares of the business. Mitch would go on to manage the Colusa location and still does. Mark worked in all aspects of the parts and service side of the business and could generally be found balled up in the chamber of a hay baler sneezing and changing knives. Nowadays you’ll find him managing the other family business-Sutter Buttes Ag Distribution primarily shipping Mahindra tractors all over the Western half of the US and

Canada. Presently, Dick is still retired and comes in occasionally to offer up some good advice and small talk with the guys and girls, as well as Doug. There are now three locations across Nothern California including Yuba City, Colusa and Anderson. Each store is managed by family and has a great team of employees and a large list of life long customers.

What is your main business?

Our main business would be specialty orchard tractors and equipment. We do our best to stock and supply the latest and greatest equipment to help fill any equipment need in an orchard. Along with the orchard equipment we move quite a few compact tractors. We are lucky to be geographically placed where we are, because we get to deal with most all orchard crop farmers in the area as well as land owners, weekend warriors and hobby farmers. We’re also well versed in hay and construction equipment.

Who are your customers?

Our customers are literally anyone that we can help out. If we can’t get our hands on the parts or equipment but still point someone in the right direction or offer up some advice; we count that as a win. We deal with anyone wanting to spend a buck on a spark plug for a generator all the way to the big acre cattleman looking for multiple balers, rakes and high horsepower tractors in one transaction.

Are there any special services that you offer? We don’t necessarily offer up any special or specific programs as of now, no. But, we do try to keep a good number of young people fresh out of high school or still in high school employed here in somewhat of an apprenticeship program. What that entails is bringing in the younger generation and getting them exposed to this equipment and the innerworkings of the equipment. We have two local young men currently working for us part time as of now helping with putting together equipment, fabricating, building hydraulic accessory kits and performing smaller internal repairs and services. Our ultimate goal is to help get these younger people prepared for the working world, while in turn helping us out and possibly building up a great future employee.

What do you want people to know about Beeler Tractor? Our business has been around for a really long time

8 CROP TALK | VOLUME 16 NO. 8 PRODUCER FOCUS

and we’ve got a whole gang of folks that have worked with us and in the agricultural industry for a long time-lots of experience and knowledge floating around. Also, being around as long as we have has allowed us to form great relationships with hundreds of OEM’s, aftermarket suppliers, importers and so on. We are truly a one stop shop. We take a lot of pride in being able to help people out and make life just a little bit easier on the hard-working farmers in and around our area. We’re one of the

last family owned Ag dealerships in the area and are proud to be here to serve you.

Can you share about your community involvement and your challenges?

We always do our best to get involved with helping out the community. We’re always excited to be a supporter of the local Yuba-Sutter Fair, as well as surrounding fairs. In the past we’ve helped out with rodeo sponsorships, Farm Bureau dinners and events, donations to various local churches,

fundraising dinners and so on. I guess challenges would include just keeping up with the needs of the community and trying to juggle donations and events while also keeping everyone here to work and complete tasks.

What would you like people to know about your family? Our roots run deep in this area and have for quite some time. We all live, work and raise our families within 20 minutes of the dealership. If you ever come in and see a little kid rummaging around the show room and crawling all over the equipment odds are, they probably belong to one of us. We’ve got lots of immediate and extended family working at all three dealerships so we all communicate and get a long well and can put our heads together to come up with solutions for internal and external business issues. The family aspect of it really does make it nice.

Why did you join Yuba-Sutter Farm Bureau? We joined the Farm Bureau because most of our customers are active members of the Farm Bureau.
