OPERATION EVERGREEN
Story by | Emily Rumes GATEHOUSE MEDIA
Photos by Operation Evergreen
Brings Christmas to Troops Overseas
THIS NOVEMBER OPERATION EVERGREEN volunteers will line up rows of boxes ready to be packed, prepped and shipped to troops stationed overseas. Back in 1994, the Executive Director of The Ohio Christmas Tree Growers Association, Rhea Dawn Smith, presented Operation Evergreen to the Board of Directors. The trees would be exported as plants and then imported, with the proper paperwork and clearance, into countries overseas where U.S. troops would be serving our country, far from home for the holidays. In 1999 Amy Galehouse of Galehouse Tree Farms, took over as the coordinator of the project. Over the

past 22 years the operation has grown from 12 trees in their first year, to 30 the following year and by the year 2000 they hit 75 trees. In 1999, a grower, Lyle Bailey, suggested the idea of including ornaments with the trees and the response has been tremendous. Church groups, World War II and Vietnam Veterans, school kids, retirement homes, assisted living communities, Lions Clubs, Rotary Clubs and private citizens have all donated to the project. Operation Evergreen is completely donation based. From 1995-2004 the military covered the shipping and freight of the trees. Shipping was donated by a commercial carrier from 2005-2011, since then shipping expenses have been covered through grassroots and public donations. Local Veterans have always been active in volunteering with the program, even working behind the scenes to make sure the boxes used for shipping were donated for free. Each year the boxes are donated by Akers Packaging in Middleton, Ohio. TOP: U.S. troops stationed overseas pose with Christmas tree shipped from Ohio growers via Operation Evergreen

RIGHT: Volunteers to package the trees, along ornaments and cards, that have been donated to the program.
There are around 121 growers in the state and between 40-50% of them are involved in Operation Evergreen in some way each year. Some also help to raise funds for the shipping costs. Sugar Pines owners Fritz and Jane Neubaurer have a “Give Back Day” each year where they collect donations for the project. “The impetus for the program is that the Veterans have always been behind it and that it is for the troops, “ said Amy. Every fall there is a Veterans Day Program where local students support the project. The school groups write Essays on Patriotism and make ornaments to include in the boxes. Some classes make it a part of their Social Studies lesson. Local choirs and musicians have also donated CDs and music, along with the hundreds of cards and letters that are brought in to be transported along with the ornaments and trees. Some of the pines and firs are sent to what is known as the “green area” overseas, where there are especially high levels of security. A chaplain serving in one of these areas was able to receive a tree and place it in the center of a group of servicemen and woman gathered together for the holiday. Thinking
of home, family and all the memories of Christmas together, there wasn’t a dry eye among them. Operation Evergreen has sent trees into Iraq, Afghanistan and Kuwait, where the retail cost of shipping and transporting can range from $1,200 to $1,400. Artificial trees can be shipped for less – around $100-$300 to ship a tree that comes in a plastic tube, but there is just something special about receiving a real tree, fresh and fragrant out of it’s box from back home. Operation Evergreen also helped kick off the Trees for Troops program in the U.S. from 2005 -2011. Trees for Troops focuses on providing trees OPERATION EVERGREEN continues on pg. 8

trees were being sent into Bosnia and Kosovo. It’s a process to get them there. We had one tree that was taken in and delivered to a Frenchman who was embedded with a group in Afghanistan.” A serviceman who lived just up the road from Galehouse Tree Farms in Doylestown, was able to receive a tree and decorate it, when he was stationed overseas, sending pictures of the tree back to his mom in Ohio. Many of the troops stationed in Muslim countries have written to the program to let them know how meaningful it is to have a Christmas tree and cards sent to them while serving. Operation Evergreen takes all of the donated trees, collected from 4-5 sites in Ohio and transports them to Columbus, where they are inspected by the Ohio Department of Agriculture and packed into boxes. Normally the packing and loading is completed within 2.5 hours. Seniors, service groups, Veterans and school kids all come together to donate and help prepare the packages for shipping. The Ohio Department of Agriculture facilitates a coordinated effort that also includes volunteers from the Franklin Park Conservatory and local churches
in Columbus. The final leg of a tree’s journey starts when it is loaded onto a semi at the terminal in Columbus at UPS. They are then transported via air freight over the pole or through Paris and then on to Kuwait or whatever destination they’ve been slated for (the exact route depends on the carrier). It takes between five and ten days for the air freight and around four days for the distribution. There are many things that cannot be shipped with the trees including food and printed Biblical literature. The trees are, in a sense, a large “cut flower” having no roots, which allows them to travel and be received and inspected, all with the proper paperwork. There are normally around four dozen ornaments for each tree, with the total donated each year ranging up to 50,000 and 60,000 pieces. Often people are hopeful that a specific type of ornament they’ve sent will get to one of their family members overseas. While there is no guarantee of where these ornaments will go, the assurance is that if it doesn’t get to your loved one, it will bring joy to someone. Long time volunteers Ron and Jo Baumgartner,
happened to run into a serviceman who thanked them personally for the impact of Operation Evergreen. To find out more about the program and learn how you can donate or volunteer to be a part of Operation Evergreen, visit OhioChristmasTree.org. Feel free to contact Amy Galehouse, Operation Evergreen Coordinator, if you have questions or need more information at 330-658-2480, 330-6074487 or galehousetreefarms@bright.net. Each tree costs up to $160 to ship overseas and right now there is a 200 tree donation set up for the 2017 Christmas season. The deadline for monetary donations for the program will be November 1st. These words from a commander stationed in Kuwait sum up the experience for her and the troops: “What a joy to come in this morning and have the office smell so wonderfully of real pine...Everyone gets very flexible with their expectation of the holidays in the military (I’ve seen Santa arrive by canoe and camel and donkey, as well as the traditional reindeer sleigh) but the smell of a real evergreen tree is so evocative and heartwarming.”

ACROSS A SERIES OF FIELDS, diseased soybean plants stand, tarnished by pesticide that spread much further than intended. Another patch of soybeans grew only minimally, planted in the same spot year after year, without a break. “We’re going to show you: If you mess up, this is what’s going to happen,” said Harold Watters, a field specialist with Ohio State University Extension. Watters was referring to an exhibit at the upcoming Farm Science Review where crops were planted to demonstrate various challenges farmers face, as well as possible solutions. Watters and other experts from Ohio State’s College of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences (CFAES), will be on hand at the Review, a three-day agricultural trade show Sept. 19-21, to discuss the crops they planted and the outcome that either shows a problem or resolves one.

The Review, sponsored by CFAES, annually draws between 110,000 and 130,000 farmers, growers, producers and agricultural enthusiasts from across the U.S. and Canada. It offers more than 4,000 product lines from 630 commercial exhibitors.

made it hard for seeds to emerge in muddied, then dried over soils. Insects were out early. And the rain continued, causing ponding on fields. “We want to hear about what worked for farmers, their trials and tribulations. If they want to stop and talk, that’s what we’re here for,” Watters said. The demonstration plots that Watters and other agricultural experts have grown will illustrate successes, as well as problems. A patch of oats and cereal rye shows how cover crops can help hold the soil in place amid heavy rain. In another section, a variety of corn grows that tolerates glufosinate, a common weed killer. One plot shows the progression of corn plants as they changed over years of selective breeding to make them more hearty and offer a higher yield of corn. “I call this the ‘Antique corn,’ ” Watters said, referring to older varieties of corn. On display for visitors is Teonsinte, the ancestor to modern corn and several varieties before modern day hybrids were available which offer a far shorter growing season than Teosinte, larger cobs and resistance to various diseases.

specialist for Ohio State University Extension, the outreach arm of the College of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences at The Ohio State University. “Although it is warmer now on average, daytime highs in the summer are not as extreme as they were in the 1930s and 1950s when Ohio experienced prolonged droughts,” Wilson pointed out. However, at night in the summer, the weather isn’t cooling off as much as it had been for decades, he said. Along with that, the amount of rainfall in Ohio has increased, and extreme rain events are far more common, Wilson said. With more water in the atmosphere and rising temperatures, weather prediction models anticipate Ohio’s climate by the end of this century to be 5 to 10 degrees Fahrenheit warmer year round with more humidity and less snowfall, Wilson said. “Our winters could very well be like those in coastal Virginia,” Wilson said. “Except we won’t have the

“It has been a very challenging spring planting season.” – Aaron Wilson | Climate Specialist Ohio State University Extension over the past century, Wilson said. The last three years were the three warmest on record so far. Ohioans hankering for milder winters may not be dismayed by the prediction of warmer winters to come. But any shift in climate patterns has implications for what Ohio farmers can plant and sustain, Wilson said. A warmer winter means that some insects or diseases that used to be killed off by frigid temperatures can survive winter, and their populations increase. Also, warmer summer nights can affect the growth of corn, which temporarily shuts down growth at 86 degrees, Wilson said. With warmer nights, daytime temperatures can climb to 86 degrees earlier in the day, potentially leaving more hours when corn has temporarily stopped growing.
More frequent intense rainfalls, particularly in the spring, can affect whether fertilizer that’s applied to soil gets absorbed or runs off, or if newly planted seeds are washed away. In Darke County, 10 to 12 inches of rain fell in May, causing corn growers to replant. Rainfall for the month typically averages 4 inches, about one-third of what fell this past May, Wilson said. “It has been a very challenging spring planting season,” Wilson said. This year Ohioans witnessed an unusually warm February, a colder March, and a very wet late April and early May. Early June was hot and dry, leaving some corn crops impacted by dry, crusted soils. If farmers are prepared to adapt to climate changes, they can become more resilient, able to prosper despite the challenges, Wilson said. “The more that climate scientists can work with farmers — and each has expertise to bring to the table — the more we can make connections so that farmers can make informed decisions about the future,” Wilson said.

FARM BUREAU FOCUSES ON WATER QUALITY Story by | Lindsay Shoup OHIO FARM BUREAU
Offers Free Water Tests to Members
IN SEPTEMBER OF 2014, Ohio Farm Bureau approved a Water Quality Action Plan with the goal of helping to improve water quality statewide. Since 2014, action plan activities have included edge-of-field nutrient runoff monitoring and conservation efforts through the Blanchard River Demonstration Farms Network in northwest Ohio, as well as advocating for legislation that will positively impact the state’s water quality while allowing the business of agriculture to grow. Water quality has remained a priority issue for Ohio Farm Bureau and county Farm Bureaus for 2017. This year, Wayne County Farm Bureau is
collaborating with OSU ATI and OARDC on a research study titled: Side-dress Manure Application Plots to Demonstrate Manure Utilization Timing. This project began in July and results will be available after harvest. The goal of the research study is to evaluate the efficacy of side-dress liquid dairy manure compared to a more traditional 28% UAN liquid nitrogen side-dress. The information gathered may help broaden the window of when and how manure can be applied, providing additional windows of opportunity to utilize livestock manure, particularly how liquid manure can aid in protecting water quality.

Also on the local level, Farm Bureau members throughout Ohio can get free nitrate testing of their well water. Each county Farm Bureau will receive 25 testing kits from Ohio Farm Bureau. They will be available to members who pre-register with their county organization by Sept. 26, 2017. Kits are limited to 25 per county and are available on a first-come, firstserved basis. The testing kits will be sent to Heidelberg University’s National Center for Water Quality Research for nitrate analysis. Ohio Farm Bureau is paying for the cost of the nitrate analysis, which is $25 per sample. Testing for pesticides and metals is available at an additional cost. It is recommended that wells be tested if they are more than 20 years old; were dug rather than drilled; are shallow; soil is sandy; a chemical spill happened nearby; or are near cropland, feedlots, landfills or industrial sites. “It’s the homeowner’s responsibility to test their well water to ensure it’s safe,” said Larry Antosch, OFBF’s senior director of policy development and environmental policy. “More than 750,000 households

around the exhibit areas, enhancing vendor electrical services, repaving Friday Avenue and restoring the stream-bed in the Gwynne Conservation Area to stop erosion, said Garrett Nowak, the new site manager. Nowak was named to his position in February after being involved with the Review since 2009. The Review is sponsored by the College of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences at The Ohio State University. It takes place at the college’s Molly Caren Agricultural Center in London, Ohio. Of all the developments taking place for this year’s Sept. 19-21 show, the changes to the main road running down the center of the exhibit area may be the most noticeable. Thanks to an Ohio Environmental Protection Agency Recycling and Litter Prevention Grant, Friday Avenue has been repaved with recycled tires. All the streets in the Review exhibit area at the Molly Caren Agricultural Center are evaluated each year to determine which areas need the greatest attention. Friday Avenue is the main road through the Review exhibit area, so repaving it will help the many people who use it. “Having hard surface roads for the farm show make
the site more accessible to visitors and exhibitors,” said Nowak. A good quality surface also reduces dust and assists greatly during wet weather, both of which are likely during Ohio Septembers. For several years, the North Central Ohio Solid Waste District has partnered with the Review on recycling efforts at the show, and this year the organization provided the asphalt, which uses recycled tire material. “Asphalt mix is a great outlet for discarded tires and the Review is a great place to showcase the use of the product,” said Nowak. Another change to the site is in the Gwynne Conservation Area, where a stream bed damaged by erosion is being re-established. The streambank is mostly lined with mature trees, however one section of it is bare because deer have trampled the area, making it susceptible to erosion. Staff from the Gwynne Conservation Area and members of the Ohio Land Improvement Contractor’s Association will be restoring the streambank as a live demonstration during the Review. During the winter months when trees are dormant, willows and dogwoods will be planted to finish the project.

DENGLESTOCK Story & Photos by | Paul Locher GATEHOUSE MEDIA
A. The tool is a dengelstock (German for dangle – or dangling – stake). It is a weighty iron tool unique to areas heavily settled by Pernnsylvania Germans, so you would expect to find this tool used around Lancaster, Lebanon, Berks, Bucks, Lehigh and Montgomery counties in southeastern Pennsylvania, and in Wayne and Holmes Counties in Ohio. The dengelstock was tied to a field worker’s belt with a leather thong – so that it dangled – when he went to the field to mow with a scythe (that big, curved-bladed tool that Father Time is often depicted carrying). The blade of the scythe was made of soft iron which became dulled after a short time in use. To whet the blade, the user had to hammer out the edge, which made it thinner, and thus sharper.
Collection of Paul Locher
So that he had a surface to work from for this process, the mower drove the sharp point of the stake (anvil) into the nearest tree stump, then used the flat upper edge to hammer out the blade. Denglestocks come in a variety of sizes and shapes and are sometimes found dated or stamped with the name of the blacksmith who made it.

NEW FEATURES LIKE WILDFLOWERS and a healthy streambank can be seen in this year’s Farm Science Review Gwynne Conservation Area. The nearly 70-acre facility, part of the Review’s host site, the Molly Caren Agricultural Center in London, Ohio, has two new projects underway —one to diversify its prairie plantings; the other, to protect the banks of Deer Creek, which flows through the grounds.

Review Manager Nick Zachrich said the projects offer two benefits: They improve the Gwynne itself year round. And they demonstrate practices that farmers — especially the Review’s expected 100,000plus visitors Sept. 19-21 — can take home and use on their own land, too. 1. FLOWER POWER Asters, milkweeds, blazing stars and coneflowers are some of the many wildflowers being planted in new seed mixes in the Gwynne’s 10-plus acres of prairie. 2. BEE, WILDLIFE BENEFITS Previously, the Gwynne’s prairie plantings were mostly just two grasses: big bluestem and Indian grass. The new seed mixes, which add wildflowers to the grasses, offer more benefits to pollinators, such as bees and butterflies, and to wildlife.
3. TESTING BEST MANAGEMENT METHODS The prairie project also is demonstrating wildflower- and wildlife-friendly management methods — involving disking, burning, removing residue or a combination. Mike Retterer, an Ohio-based biologist with the nonprofit Pheasants Forever, helped develop the strategies. 4. BANK GUARDS LLC Willow fascines (bundles of live stems that are planted, take root and grip soil) and riprap (large chunks of rock) are two of the tools helping to restore Deer Creek’s stream bank.

FSR SAFETY DEMONSTRATIONS:
Story by | Katerina Sharp OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY EXTENSION
Keeping Farm Workers Safe FARMING IS CONSIDERED ONE OF THE MOST DANGEROUS occupations in the United States, and the 2017 Farm Science Review is ready to provide information to keep farm workers safe. The Ohio State University’s Agricultural Safety and Health program will offer live demonstrations during the Review, Sept. 19-21, at the Molly Caren TOP: Attendees of the FSR safety demonstrations participated in CPR exercises as well as a variety of other practical and safety-oriented workshops.

Agricultural Center near London, Ohio, including the following farm safety displays and demonstrations: • New to the Review this year is the Farm Safety Scene, a tabletop hazard hunt depicting a farm. People can inspect the mini farm scene to determine the number of safety hazards they can find, such as mishandling farm equipment or standing in an unsafe area.
• Stop by the Grain C.A.R.T. (Comprehensive Agricultural Rescue Trailer) for a live demonstration on grain safety awareness at 10 a.m., 11 a.m. and noon on all three days of the Review. Grain kept in on-farm bins or at commercial grain elevators can pose a risk if employees don’t follow safe work practices. Ohio State University Extension offers training on how to avoid danger and what to do in an emergency.
• The Safety in Agriculture for Youth (SAY) project will offer a free bottle of water for completing a quick survey about chores teens are doing on the farm. SAY is a grant project funded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the National Institute of Food and Agriculture to develop safety and health curriculum for youth involved in agriculture. “The main goal is for youth to be involved in agriculture and to stay safe while they are working,” said Dee Jepsen, State Leader for Agricultural Safety and Health in Ohio State’s College of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences (CFAES).
• Safety gear for ATVs will be on display, featuring a newly desiged lightweight helmet and a “crush bar” that provides protection in the event the vehicle flips over. The ATV crush bar is a small, hairpin-shaped hoop that is mounted to the tow bar to prevent the operator from being pinned during a roll-over. The bar is designed to be unobtrusive and to not catch on low hanging obstacles or limit rear cargo capacity. The newly designed ATV helmet is lightweight, has ventilation ducts and lets the wearer see and hear clearly. The helmet hnas been recommended for occupational use with ATV’s and UTV’s.

challenging even though farm wages, at $12 on average across Ohio, are well above the state’s minimum wage, said Gustavo Schuenemann, an Ohio State University Extension veterinarian. OSU Extension is the outreach arm of the university’s College of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences. With farm work being so physically rigorous and requiring long work days, often people opt instead for an 8-hour work day in an office or store, said Schuenemann, who’s also an associate professor in the Department of Veterinary Preventive Medicine. Technology may be part of the solution to make up for the scarcity of workers, he said. Smart tractors drive themselves. An automatic feeder can push feed into the animal stalls periodically throughout the day so the animals can reach the food. A robot could even clean and prep a cow for mechanized milking. However, as useful as it is, technology likely won’t

“You can find people who know how to work with cows, but it’s difficult to find people who like or know how to manage other people, and that’s an important problem to fix.” – Gustavo Schuenemann | Ohio State University Extension veterinarian eliminate all staff necessary on a farm, so farmers still need to know how best to manage their staff, said Schuenemann, who will offer advice on managing farm labor during the Farm Science Review on Sept. 19 at the Molly Caren Agricultural Center in London, Ohio. Schuenemann will speak from noon to 12:20 p.m. as part of the “Ask the Expert” program offered daily at the Review, which is sponsored by the college. While fair pay and offering health insurance can be a drawing card for employees, the most common complaint Schuenemann hears from farm workers is that they’re poorly managed. Frequently, farmers and farm managers create work schedules that don’t offer some flexibility and take into consideration the workers’ needs, Schuenemann pointed out. An employee may not want a night shift or a Sunday shift, or he or she may not want or be able to work 12 hours at a time for six or seven days a week, or work on ever-changing shifts. Any resulting discontentment among employees increases the odds that the workers quit, Schuenemann said. Aggressive-style management rarely works, he said. Farmers need to put themselves in the shoes of their workers because empathy can go a long way toward creating an environment in which employees want to stay. “A farmer might start out taking care of 200 cattle, but in 15 years, could grow to have 2,000 or more. At that point, he’s managing people, not just cows,” but he might not have the skills needed to manage the staff, Schuenemann said. “You can find people who know how to work with Stock up Now! Order your furnished beef or hog - cut & packaged specifically for
cows, but it’s difficult to find people who like or know how to manage other people, and that’s an important problem to fix.” If it isn’t, turnover is inevitable. Some farmers Schuenemann has worked with see over half their employees leave every year. “They never stop training people,” he said. “It’s a futile cycle. People are leaving and coming, leaving and coming.” Many times farm employees and their managers don’t communicate with each other often enough, so problems arise and discontentment can grow quickly, Schuenemann said. The farm owner or a manager should meet with employees at least once a week to discuss and resolve any problems, he said. “If the farmer focuses on managing the work environment, it has a profound impact on everyone’s attitude,” Schuenemann said. “And when attitude goes up, everything gets better without much investment.”

HELP FOR INJURED OR AGING FARMERS
Contributed by | The Ohio State University CFAES News
GETTING OLDER OR INJURED generally won’t stop a farmer from working. But work does not have to be painful. Changes can be made to a tractor or a combine, such as adding a lift to get aboard them more easily or adding a camera to keep a farmer from having to turn his or her head to see behind.
Injured or aging farmers can find the technology they need to continue to work through Ohio State University Extension’s Ohio AgrAbility program. The program offers free on-site assessments for people with a disability, to help determine what assistive technology might enable them to continue to work. Life is Full of Responsibilities

Ohio AgrAbility will offer three daily workshops at Farm Science Review Sept. 19-21 to discuss what’s available for farmers who are injured or struggling with a physical disability and don’t want to give up farming. The Farm Science Review is an annual agriculture trade show held at the Molly Caren Agricultural Center in London, Ohio and is sponsored by The Ohio State University’s College of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences at. OSU Extension is the outreach arm of the college. Two of the workshops Ohio AgrAbility will offer at the Review are on modifications to farm equipment, and another workshop is for professionals who work
with individuals with disabilities. All workshops will take place under the Ohio AgrAbility tent on Land Avenue between Market and Kottman streets. The daily workshops for those who work with individuals with disabilities, which will be at 1:30 p.m., will provide an overview of what Ohio AgrAbility offers. The farm modifications workshops, which will be at 10 a.m. and 11 a.m. daily, will address what changes can be made to farm equipment to allow farmers to use equipment effectively without causing undue strain or additional injuries. Laura Akgerman, disability services coordinator for the AgrAbility program, will also present “Gardening and Farming with Arthritis – It Doesn’t Have to Hurt” at the Small Farm Center Sept. 20 at 10:30 a.m., and “Gardening with Arthritis” at the Utzinger Garden Sept. 19 and 21 at 10 a.m. Under the Ohio AgrAbility tent at the Review, people can see motorized doors for a barn, a motorized chair specially made to ride through rough terrain and a modified lawn mower that has shock AGRABILITY continues on pg. 34 Agricultural & Industrial Service & Repair

AGRABILITY continued from 33
“People might think ‘I don’t have a disability. I don’t need to know this.’ But we all get older.” – Laura Akgerman | Disability Services Coordinator Ohio AgrAbility Program absorbers to prevent a bumpy ride. “People might think ‘I don’t have a disability. I don’t need to know this.’ But we all get older,” said Akgerman. The assistive technology that will be discussed could be helpful to anyone, even those without a disability, Akgerman said. All farmers might benefit from having hand rails on a tractor or combine or a new seat with a suspension system that offers a smoother ride, she said. “If you could avoid an injury or chronic condition that aggravates your back or shoulders, causes you pain, or limits your productivity, why wouldn’t you?”

Akgerman asked. One of the aims of the AgrAbility program is helping injured farmers keep from getting secondary injuries. For example, a farmer who struggles with arthritis or hip pain might find it challenging to climb up into the tractor, and in attempting to do so, could fall and possibly break a rib or another bone, said Charlie Landis, Ohio AgrAbility’s rural rehabilitation coordinator. “Farming is one of the more dangerous occupations in the country due to the amount of equipment on the farm and because farmers are working with animals and machinery with a lot of moving parts,” Landis

– Laura Akgerman Disability Services Coordinator Ohio AgrAbility Program said. An increasing number of farmers are aging, and as farmers get older, the odds of them injuring themselves increase, Landis pointed out. “People have to realize that they’re just not as strong or as quick as they used to be, but there are ways they can keep farming despite their injury, illness or disability,” he said.
