WELCOME TO THE COLUSA FARM SHOW!

Welcome to the 49th annual Colusa Farm Show. We hope you find the event, the exhibits and the seminars, as valuable to your agricultural enterprises as always. “This year I am sad to report, we have lost three long-time members of the Colusa Farm Show Committee, two of whom were founding members. The third member served as a past chairman of the farm show committee and we would like to honor their passing by dedicating this Show to them,” said Dave Zwald, farm show committee chairman for 2014. Tom Aldridge became Colusa County Farm Advisor in 1963 and by 1965, after noticing how numerous the ag activities and meetings were in the area, thought to combine them and established the Colusa Orchard Show which evolved into the Colusa Farm Show of today. Serving on that first Committee, and continuing to attend and participate until 2012, was H.L.” Pete” Peterson. He staunchly worked to support agriculture and maintain the purity of the show, personally presenting the annual awards for continuous participation each year. The most recent Committee Chair Jim Rogers sat in that position numerous times in the more than twenty years he served on the Committee. He was always available throughout each show to help an exhibitor, solve a problem, or act as the Farm Show representative. Their influence and contributions will be remembered and missed for many years to come. I do want to recognize and express appreciation to our Official Sponsors whose contributions make this important agricultural event possible. Joining the Colusa Farm Show for the first time is Laser Man Inc. which is providing a survey and mapping of the outside exhibit area which will significantly reduce the staff man hours in laying out vendor spaces, not only this year but into the future; Colusa Casino Resort has returned, providing the gift bags for all our exhibitors; Ag Source is again supporting the more than 300 exhibitors and their staff members by underwriting the Exhibitors’ Lounge; and Rabobank is joining us for the second year with financial support for the many expenses incurred in producing this valuable event which provides the farming community in northern California with this “one stop” venue. Enjoy the show – we appreciate your participation!

FARM SHOW Sponsors are the backbone of the Farm Show

California Gov. Jerry Brown and his wife, Anne Gust, were among the 38,000 spectators who attended the Colusa Farm Show in 2013.

By James Nair Publisher, Colusa Farm Show Program Sponsors are the backbone of many community-organized events and the Colusa Farm Show is no exception. For the past 48 years the Colusa Farm Show has provided a venue for growers and suppliers to come together and discuss as well as observe, the latest technology that is available to the farming communities. As the funding for county-operated fairs continues to decrease as a result of state budgetary matters, organizations like the 44th District Agricultural Association, the overseers of the Colusa Farm Show and the Colusa County Fair, are turning more and more to area businesses for sponsorship support. In Colusa County, the re-

sult has been overwhelming as businesses like Colusa Casino Resort, AgSource Magazine, Rabobank and LaserMan, Inc., are just a small handful of businesses that provided sponsorship for this year’s Colusa Farm Show. For the past several years, Colusa Casino Resort has sponsored the commodity gift bags and hats that are given to each of the 250 or more exhibitors who attend the farm show each year. In 2013, longtime supporter of the Colusa Farm Show, AgSource Magazine, began sponsoring the Exhibitor’s Lounge. The Exhibitor’s Lounge is a courtesy that is made available to farm show vendors and exhibitors. Each morning vendors and exhibitors can visit the Lounge and receive coffee and pas-

tries. Rabobank, a leading provider of agricultural financing and banking products to California farmers, ranchers and agricultural manufacturers, provides the 44th District Agricultural Association with a financial sponsorship. The most recent sponsor, LaserMan, Inc., provided the necessary equipment and manpower to survey the Colusa County Fairgrounds in order to map-out the exhibit areas. “We are very grateful to all of our sponsors,” said Dave Zwald, farm show committee chairman for 2014. “There are no sponsorships that aren’t greatly appreciated by the 44th District Agricultural Association. We welcome all sponsors.”

Gone but not forgotten The 44th District Agricultural Association will remember the passing of three longtime members of the Colusa Farm Show Committee by dedicating the upcoming agricultural event in their honor.

The 49th annual Colusa Farm Show will be dedicated to James “Jim” Rogers and founding members Tom Aldrich and Harold L. Peterson. “This year I am sad to report, we have lost three long-time members of the Colusa Farm Show Committee, two of whom were founding members. The third member served as a past chairman of the farm show committee and we would like to honor their passing by dedicating this Show to them,” said Dave Zwald, farm show committee chairman for 2014.

Tom Aldrich served as farm adviser for Colusa County in 1960’s, and is credited for organizing what is today is known as the Colusa Farm Show and its steering committee. According to an article that was published in a past issue of the Colusa Farm Show program, Aldrich organized a meeting in Gridley, Ca., in 1965 between a handful of growers and vendors who expressed an interest in providing a venue to showcase the latest advances in agriculture. In 1966, he founded the Sacramento Valley Orchard Show and its steering committee as well as leased the Colusa County Fairgrounds to hold the three-day event. Although the event was called the Sacramento Valley Orchard Show, spectators referred to it as the Orchard Fair. The first show drew 82 exhibitors and 14,000 spectators. Given the huge popularity of the event, Aldrich continued to organize the event for an additional three-years before turning it over to the 44th District Agricultural Association (44th D.A.A.) In 1995, the Colusa County Farm Bureau presented Aldrich with the Floyd Myers Marsh Distinguished Service to Agriculture Award in recognition of his leadership in the Orchard Equipment Show and the Nickels Field Laboratory. Aldrich was named in the will of Leslie J. Nickels to establish the Nickels’ Field Laboratory on several hundred acres in the Arbuckle area. The purpose of the laboratory was to conduct experiments to enhance the production of almonds but not to duplicate similar experiments carried on by UC Davis. The laboratory is the largest of its kind in California. Aldrich passed away on October 24, 2013.

Harold Peterson, also known to many as “H.L.” or “Pete,” is being recognized by the 44th D.A.A. for more than 40 years of service to the Colusa Farm Show. Peterson served on the original farm show steering committee that was organized by Tom Aldrich in 1966. He staunchly worked to support agriculture and maintain the purity of the farm show, personally presenting the annual awards for continuous participation each year. In 1942, Peterson enlisted in the Army Corps., and in 1945 he flew 31 missions in the Pacific Theatre over Japan as a B-29 pilot. After WWII, he served as an Operations Officer of a B-29 training program at Mather AFB. In 1947, Peterson returned to Colusa County and developed an agricultural aviation service and airport that is still active today. He had flown more than 14,000 hours crop dusting in his business. In 1969, he was elected as Colusa County Supervisor for District 1. During his 12 years as supervisor Peterson dedicated himself to issues pertaining to flood control and the Right to Farm Ordinance. Peterson was also a member of the Veteran’s of Foreign War Post in Colusa County and attended the opening ceremony of the Colusa County Fair, each June. Peterson passed away on May 5, 2013.

Jim Rogers passed away on December 8, 2013, at his home surrounded by his family following an illness. He served as a director on the 44th D.A.A. for many years having been Chairman on more than one occassion. He also served as chairman of the Colusa Farm Show Committee. Each year whether it was at the Colusa County Fair or the Colusa Farm Show, Rogers could be seen walking the grounds providing assistance to anyone who needed it. Rogers was a lifelong resident of Colusa and served on numerous committees. Aside from his years of service to the Colusa County Fair and Farm Show, he was also a founding member of the Redskins Athletic Foundation for Colusa High School, proudly served on the CAPCA (past president,) member of the Maxwell American Legion, served on the California Rice Commission, director on the Sutter Basin Water Agency, and a 40 year member of the Colusa Rural Fire District. As a member of the Colusa Rural Fire District, Rogers was promoted to captain in 1986 and held the title for 27 years until his passing. His dedication to the Fire District did not go unnoticed as he was presented the Engine of the Year Award nine times. The award is given for having the best attendance for crew training. “Jim was an all-around good guy,” said Chief Jeff Winters, Sacramento River Fire District. “He was an outstanding member of this department and was highly respected.” Rogers farmed for more than 30 years and was also involved in agricultural sales. He was an avid hunter and one of the founding members of Big Belly Barbecue during the early 2000s. “These three men gave so much to the Colusa Farm Show,” Zwald said. “There presence will definately be missed.”

Expansion and sustainability - Key to Premier Mushrooms Inc. success Premier Mushrooms Inc. has adopted a philosophy that seeks to understand the environmental impacts of its operation and make conscious efforts to reduce them, says its sustainability coordinator, Kevin Foley. This involves setting up a system for both benchmarking and

tracking, which is critical to making measureable improvements. The sustainability program has been structured to remain flexible and is continuously evolving as new opportunities are identified. One of these opportunities has recently surfaced in the form of renewable energy solution. Premier is excited to announce 2014 plans

From Motorcycles to ATV’s

655 Bridge Street, Colusa • (530) 870-1738

to commission three new biomass generators, which will significantly off-set energy used in production. A simple saying to illustrate this approach is; “Closing the loop.” The premise here is that the waste-stream from one process is re-used as a valuable input to another process. This effectively diverts materials from the land-fill, while simultaneously conserving natural resources. “Premier recognizes that sustainability is a journey, not a destination and continuously making incremental improvements is key to moving forward into the 21st century,” said Foley. The mushroom growers’ environmental efforts coupled with its most recent expansion of its stateof-the-art farm is a good example of how technology, science and agriculture have come together to provide an efficient and sustainable food source.

In 2013, the operation completed an expansion project which brought the number of growing rooms to 64 with a growing capacity of 280,000 pounds of mushrooms weekly. The farm produces white, Crimini and Portabella mushrooms. The expansion is significant to the Colusa County economy in that it provided nearly 50 new jobs bringing the total employees at the farm to more than 200. The farm/factory not only provides more than 200 jobs, it also spends over $1 million per month for goods and services in the county. While the most recent expansion is a milestone, Premier’s CEO John Ashbaugh said that it is one of many more to come. “We plan to double our production with Phase III tunnels, continue our sustainability programs and incorporate renewable energy strategies,” he said.

Colusa County Farm Bureau:

Continuing the Leadership Legacy

By Jonnalee Henderson

What has allowed California farmers and ranchers to currently produce almost half of the nation’s fruits, nuts and vegetables? Leadership. Why does California continue to lead the nation as an agricultural producer and exporter? Leadership. What has enabled California’s 81,500 farms and ranches to provide more than 400 different commodities for the world? Leadership. California’s amazing Mediterranean climate and its legacy marked by the leadership of countless men and women in farming, ranching, research, engineering, science, government, business and many other sectors, have brought us the successes that we enjoy to-

day. If you are directly or indirectly involved in agriculture, or if you simply enjoy the rural lifestyle, you are a part of this legacy. We invite you to become more engaged by participating in activities of the Colusa County Farm Bureau (CCFB,) an organization that has helped protect the county’s rural way of life since it started in 1924. Are you between 18-35 years of age? You may consider joining the CCFB Young Farmers and Ranchers (YF&R). In addition to social activities and their annual trap shoot scholarship fundraiser, members gain leadership skills and an awareness of the agricultural issues that most concern them.

“Young Farmers and Ranchers is an organization that helps you better yourself and the agricultural community,” said Richard Anstead, Colusa County YF&R President. Are you passionate about teaching? The Colusa County Agriculture in the Classroom program equips teachers to incorporate agricultural lessons in their curriculum. From Wheelbarrow in a Garden projects, teaching resources, agricultural writing contests and summer seminars for teachers, many kids in Colusa County know What’s “Growin’” On in agriculture. Want to be a voice of advocacy? From private property rights and land use to water and energy, farm bureau members work with

elected officials and other decision makers to communicate about issues that affect our county. “If you enjoy living in a rural community or being involved in agriculture and you want to see that preserved, get involved in farm bureau,” advises Robert Faris, CCFB President. “In addition, take the information and contacts you gain through farm bureau to help guide your everyday business decisions.” As a Colusa County Farm Bureau Member you will be informed, engaged and empowered to make a difference in the issues that matter most to you. **Statistics from the California Department of Food and Agriculture “Ag Stats Overview.” http://www.cdfa.ca.gov/statistics/

Health Care Reform: Are you prepared?

~ By Shelby Campiz ~ Office Manager Health Care Reform is here and for some of us in California that is a good thing while for others it might not be so great. Those Californians who have not had health insurance are now able to

get it regardless of what health conditions they might have – that is great news if you are sick and in need of care. An important thing to know is that there are still deductibles and coinsurances that might surprise those who are enrolling. Most plans have a

family out-of-pocket maximum of $12,700. Along with that out-of-pocket maximum for health care, there are also monthly premiums that need to be paid when you purchase a plan. There are some individuals who will receive help in the form of subsidies to assist in paying for their premiums. There are also some individuals who will qualify not only for premium subsidies but also cost sharing subsidies. If your household income is above the poverty level and is less than $100,000, you may still qualify for assistance. The assistance you receive is based on the number of people in your household as well as your household income. At Garth E. Moore Insurance and Financial Services, Inc. in Colusa, we are Certified Agents with Covered California and have been successfully in enrolling in-

dividuals for coverage since January 1, 2014. Some individuals that we have helped are having to pay the full premium while others are qualifying for subsidy help and others have been referred to Medi-Cal for coverage. If you are among the many Californians who have been told that your current coverage has been cancelled and you have not yet enrolled in a health plan, there is still time. Open Enrollment goes through March 31, 2014. We can either help you enroll outside of the Marketplace directly with a carrier, or through the Marketplace – Covered California. “We welcome anyone in need to come by and allow us to review their situation to see where they might fit into the new era of health insurance,” Campiz said. “We also have a Certified Agent that is bilingual in Spanish.”

High demand for California Grown Almond, and Walnuts By David Toney Grower Representative T.M. Duche Nut Co., Inc. Every year more and more of the world is starting to understand that they need high quality Almonds and Walnuts. They also know the best place to buy high quality Almonds and Walnuts is California. With the recent health research on the benefits of including Almonds and Walnuts in our diet, the demand for California Almonds and Walnuts is growing every year. Recent shipment reports in both Almonds and Walnuts look very

strong and market conditions seem very firm. Our growers have benefited from these market conditions and are very pleased with their grower returns. The question now is: Will we be able to keep up with worldwide consumer demand? The issue on everyone’s mind is where or when will the rain come? Unless we see a rain event like a Pineapple Express, California may see a historical drought similar to the late 1970’s. High Pressure systems seem to be the norm right now and there doesn’t seem to be any re-

lief in sight. Some growers have had to irrigate throughout the winter and no one seems to know if their well or irrigation district will have enough water for their trees to produce a good crop. We are still hopeful for some pre-

cipitation in late April and early May. Although it looks like it’s going to be a tough grower season, T.M. Duché is committed to helping grow the demand for our growers’ Almond and Walnut crops.

careers with land and livestock or in business management, research and development? Mooney suggests that Agricultural Education Students likely fall into one of three groups. There are those who come from agricultural production families and have every intention to be involved in the family farm. There are those that are attracted to agricultural education for the opportunity to be part of a program that provides an outlet for students to develop their ability to become leaders and be involved in agriculture. This group of students divides into two groups. Those who pursue a career in an agriculturally-related field and those who do not work in agriculture but have a much better understanding of the diversity of agriculture production, marketing, processing, etc. Former high school teacher Sturzen, says students are looking for courses that give them handson work-ready skills, often using their skills as they work to finance college education. Ag education gives them an advantage while membership in FFA develops life-long leadership and personal development training. Colusa County Ag Teacher, Lorilee Niesen, observes, “What I see in my agriculture program here at Maxwell is a changing of the guards. We still have a few students who will come home to run the family farm/ranches while other students are ambassadors for ag. The students that will come home will either work for the cattle ranch or they will take over the rice farm. I see many of them as taking over the business while a couple will be happy to have Dad still in charge.” What are you hearing from the kids? According to Mooney, participation in leadership development activities continues to grow in California. Even though educational funding has been on a decrease the past several years,

Growing a New Crop of Agriculturists Comments from Hugh Mooney, Agriculture and Home Economics Education Unit Career and College Transitions Division, California Department of Education; Jeanette Sturzen, California Department of Education Agricultural Education and Home Economic Unit; Lori Niesen, Ag Teacher, Maxwell High School, Colusa County. What can our farmers and ranchers expect from the new crop of agriculturists? There are more than 73,000 Future Farmers of America [FFA] members in 308 local FFA chapters. Less than 10 percent of these members are from families that make their living in production agriculture. Students are attracted to high quality agriculture education programs that provide them the opportunity to be engaged in leadership development and Supervised Agricultural Experiences. Jeannette Sturzen explains, “Production agriculture has changed tremendously over the years, and we are becoming more technology and research based to survive. Most farms/ranches have had to become larger and merge into corporations to avoid taxes, co-exist with environmentalists, and do major estate planning for future generations. With this, corporations have had to hire more farm/ranch managers whom have been educated in business, finance, technology, and have a keen sense for the latest research to stay on the cutting edge of production.” Have the students and their goals changed in the past 5 or 10 years? Are they interested in hands-on

participation in FFA events continues to grow. “I think that tells us that interest is high.” Sturzen finds students “. . . want to work in the agricultural field for a career because they love it!! They want to do more hands-on learning and find their courses to be challenging, yet exciting to be in. They love competing in Career Development Events and attending leadership conferences hosted by the FFA and their local communities. They are scared about the future of Fairs and Shows, and the availability to continue to enroll in agricultural courses with budget cuts in their local communities.” Niesen reports, “I think students have a passion for agriculture from our community because that is what our community is based upon. If it wasn’t for ag, there would be no help with the sports program, the band program, every activity that occurs in our community. I think students can create their own future and be whatever they want to be. Agriculture programs give them the drive, the leadership skills, and the lessons in responsibility that allows them to excel over others. And also, the self confidence.” Are there more or fewer opportunities today in agriculture? There are new areas for careers in agriculture besides on the ranch or farm. Sturzen explains, “Most students are mixed, traditionally students are attracted to the animals because they can relate to them, but now with technology and the availability of greenhouses on most of our campuses, more students are finding research fun and exciting with plants. At such a young age, most don’t have the resources to run a full-blown business, however; we do have some very progressive entrepreneurs whose business ventures will enable them to be very competitive in the market in years to come.” Are they interested in running the business or hands-on with animals or crops? Sturzen finds at the college level that “The majority of the students we teach today have never had the opportunity to step onto a farm and/or ranch and are placed into an agricultur-

al course to meet a science credit. Most farm labor and family farm/ ranchers discourage their children from going into agriculture because of the low wages and hard working lifestyle. However, there are a number of children whom has many generations that continue to support agriculture and their children are flourishing in the agricultural opportunities that the FFA has to offer. It doesn’t matter if a student comes from town or a 10,000 head dairy, they all have the same desire to learn about so many aspects that agriculture can offer them, and can provide them with a bright future career longterm down the road.” Is the future bright for upcoming agriculturists? According to Mooney, there are significant shortages of qualified applicants for many agricultural careers. Sturzen feels there is a very bright future in Agriculture with an ever-expanding global market with huge need for products produced in the United State. “People are concerned about where their food is grown, is it healthy, and [they] want to purchase their products at the least cost possible.” Do California high schools support the agriculture programs? That would depend on the high school. Niesen says, “Our high school supports our ag. program, but our community goes beyond! We are so blessed to have the community we have at Maxwell.” According the Hugh Mooney, there is some state funding available for high school agriculture education programs. The main source of funding is the Agricultural Career Technical Education Incentive Grant. This grant program is commonly referred to as the Agriculture Incentive Grant. It is intended that local school districts match the grant that can only be used for equipment and supplies for the program. None of the grant can be used for salary. Each agriculture education program has an Agricultural Education Advisory Committee. We have found that those programs that have a strong advisory committee and community involvement are strongly supported by the school district. (Submitted by the 44th D.A.A.)

in 2009 to $711,592 in 2012. The increase represents growth of approximately 6 percent per year. Colusa County’s climate, soils and water resources make it a very attractive place to grow a wide range of crops and as well as the production of livestock. In fact, Colusa County grows over one hundred different crops ranging from Arugula to Watermelon. In 2013 Colusa County exported agricultural products to seventy-five countries around the world. The top crops exported (in order) include rice, almonds, walnuts and seed. We continue to see a demand for our commodities on a yearly basis. We also continue to see an increase in plantings of almonds, walnuts and pistachios as our farming community continues to diversify. Colusa County is looking forward to another very productive year as we begin 2014. THE 2014 COLUSA

Farm Show welcomes LaserMan as new sponsor

Karen Spencer 44th D.A.A. Publicist At the 2013 Colusa Farm Show, Committee member Bob Vierra approached Pete Eberhardt, owner of LaserMan, Inc., about the possibility of surveying the fairgrounds to map the Farm Show exhibit areas. The goal was to reduce the several weeks of man hours it took to accurately mark the outside spaces each year. The result is a new official sponsorship of the Farm Show by Pete & Shelley Eberhardt. Last month they sent one of their crews, headed by Matt Derrick, to install the equipment and survey the Colusa County Fairgrounds. They are currently in the process of completing the mapping which will allow the Fairgrounds staff to mark all the spaces in a day or two using the equipment supplied by Laser Man Inc., not only this year but in the future as well. Derrick noted their intent to eventually include the results in a Google Earth file format to allow exhibitors to view their actual space on line. “As the Fairgrounds struggles to compensate for the loss of all state funding, this donation of time and equipment is greatly appreciated,” stated Fair Board President Terry Bressler. This type of dedication to the agricultural community was recognized by the Butte County Farm Bureau in 2011 when they were awarded the Business Member

of the Year for their support. Pete started working in the laser industry in 1979 at a company called Laser Plane in Dayton, Ohio. He was employed as an installation technician traveling throughout the United States installing laser systems for water management. Pete’s career took him to Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, and finally landed him in Sacramento where he developed his skills as Service Manager and then later took a position as a Sales Consultant in the Ag and Construction market. The concept of laser leveling grew rapidly in the Sacramento Valley and throughout the world. In the early 1980’s, alongside the agricultural market, the construction market was growing immensely due to the advanced technologies being introduced. These new technologies were providing customers with an increase in profitability and accuracy. With this fast growing technology, Pete was presented with many opportunities in the service and sales sector. In 1988, Pete moved to Reno, Nevada to manage a direct sales office marketing agricultural and construction tools for the booming Reno economy. This is where he met his wife, Shelly. Pete returned to the Sacramento area in 1990 to redevelop the agricultural and construction markets in Northern California, settled in Paradise to raise his three children. In 1992, he purchased the

Durham branch and was known as Spectra Physics LaserPlane NorCal, later incorporating and changing the company name to LaserMan as it is known today. LaserMan is the industry

leader in providing precision agricultural and construction products, services, and support. They are best known for the wide range of positioning equipment they provide that includes GPS controls, lasers with application software, and services that give growers and contractors a complete solution, from start to finish. Their integrated solutions allow their clients to collect, manage, and analyze complex information making it easier for them to be more productive, efficient, and profitable. They provide water management tools such as laser leveling and scrapers, systems such as GPS leveling solutions with survey

software tools and on-board autopilot steering for general tillage, spraying, planting, and other applications. These tools improve productivity and efficiency for applying chemicals. They also integrate the use of yield monitoring, data collection, and have become very modular and adaptable. LaserMan is proud of providing products that supply the customer not only with a solution for the challenges they face, but with the world’s most sophisticated farming control and positioning systems on the market. This Colusa Farm Show Sponsorship demonstrates again their gratitude to the community and farmers who support their local business and place their trust in them.
