Clearing The Way HLA has a full line-up of blades suitable for equipment from 20 HP right up to 200 HP.
HS200 - Double Shot
"From sidewalks to estates to commercial clearing we have a blade that will fit your needs," confidently states Paul Horst of HLA. "At HLA we know snow; our product line includes angle blades, bucket mount pushers, v-blades and our versatile SnowWings." New additions to our team are the High Volume Snow Buckets and a new line of Scatter Shot Broadcast Spreaders.
With a capacity of one and a half yards, the HS200 has you covered. The Double Shot combines two of our rugged hoppers onto a single frame providing twice the bang for the buck.
Scatter Shot - Take Aim at Ice HLA makes it easy for professionals with the introduction of the Scatter Shot. These broadcast spreaders make short work of your spreading tasks when there's snow on the ground and when there's not. Made of durable galvanized steel, the Scatter Shot can handle what it dishes out. From sand to salt, the internal agitators prevent the material from clumping or building up on the walls — ensuring you get the most out of every load. Hydraulic powered models feature easy to use self-loading hoppers. These tilt similar to a bucket allowing material to be scooped directly into the hopper.
HS100 - Single Shot The HS100 is a single hopper broadcast spreader with a half yard capacity. Ideal for skid steers and small tractors, the HS100 runs off hydraulic or PTO power. Capable of spreading up to 40 feet the HS100 can be easily adapted to sidewalks with the addition of an optional sidewalk shield that will limit the spread to 3 feet. O CTOBER 2 01 2
Snow Wing Actuator Tough One of the most unique features of the HLA SnowWing is its rotary actuated endplates. This ingenious patented system allows the operator to independently control the endplates in a full 180 degree rotation. Now you can convert your blade from box to angle and add an extra 6 feet of clearing width.
Goodbye Tire Damage All blades that angle and have rotating endplates have potential to cause tire damage, and that’s why HLA developed our Patented Tire Protection System. This adjustable system automatically rotates the endplates away from the tire if there is the potential for collision. Call 1-866-567-4162 to let HLA Snow help you clear the way.

The popularity of radiant floor heat and sales are rising each year, and more and more consumers are adding radiant floor heating systems to their projects and improvements. Radiant floor heat creates some questions
Eastern Farm A N D L i v e s t o c k D i re c t o r y
when first starting. In this article series we will explain the key points of radiant floor heat, and give you the confidence to start including radiant floor heat in your projects.
Hydronic Radiant Floor Heat 101 What are the advantages of radiant floor heat? •
Radiant Floor heat is proven to be the most efficient way to heat a building. Compared to forced air heating it is approx 30% better.
•
Even heat distribution – the whole floor is a giant radiator
•
Out of sight – tubing is buried in the concrete or under floor. No bulky duct work, baseboard, ceiling tube convectors, or cast iron radiators.
•
Quiet – no loud fans, pinging baseboard, etc.
•
Radiant floor heat is better for people with allergies
•
Very low maintenance and cleaning – duct work and tube convectors need cleaning.
FIVE STAR PUBLISHING, INC. publishes the Midwest Farm and Livestock Directory, Southern Farm and Livestock Directory, Eastern Farm and Livestock Directory and the Contractors Equipment Directories.
–by LES GRAHAM
Slab design considerations when using radiant floor heat? The main consideration is the use of insulation – both under the slab horizontally, and vertically installed around the perimeter. The perimeter insulation needs to have an R – value of 10. Generally, this is done with 2’’ blue or pink poly-styrene. If possible, incorporate this 2’’ foam as part of the original concrete forms. This can save hand digging later, which can undermine a monolithic slab. The thickness of the slab does not have to change because of radiant floor heat. The base you normally use under does not need to be changed. (Personally speaking, I like to see a 6 mil. vapor barrier under the slab.)
• PART ONE
Do I need to insulate under the slab? You need to consider insulation under the slab. Don’t be fooled by the statement, heat rises'. Heat does NOT rise – it travels in all directions. Hot air rises! Generally speaking, you should always insulate a project 2000 square feet or smaller with an R-value of 5 – 10. On larger projects consider the dampness of the soil below. If you are high and dry, then you can consider zero insulation or insulate the first 6-8 feet in from outer edge. If the water table is high in an area, then insulation under the whole area becomes necessary. Under concrete there is no benefit or need for reflective type insulation.
Where is the tubing placed in the concrete? The tubing can go in the middle or at the bottom of the concrete – both have advantages. When placed in the middle of the concrete, the heat is delivered a little faster, thus allowing for a slight gain in efficiency. Snowmelt systems should always be installed in the middle of the slab. When placing tubing in the middle of the concrete keep in mind that with shops you need a minimum of 1-1/2 inches of concrete above the tubing. Homes require a minimum of ¾-inch above. The advantages of the tubing placed at the bottom of the concrete are several:

The Need for Grain Moisture Testers in the Agricultural Industry
X
This season’s precious grain harvest needs to be checked for moisture content before it can be sold for a profit, as every farmer knows. Moisture has the ability to cripple a whole year’s worth of harvest if it is not checked from time to time. In fact, ignoring such a critical issue can actually lead to: •
Additional costs if the harvested grain is wetter than is acceptable and needs to be dried before it can be sold.
•
Loss of value for dried grain since it has to be sold for less than its marketable value.
•
Spoiling the grain if it happens to be wet and is stored under low temperatures or drying bins.
Y •
Needless to say, a grain moisture tester is invaluable when it comes to preserving the value of your crop and ensuring that it sells for what it is worth.
Attempting to test your grain’s moisture content before it has even been harvested will not give you accurate results. Therefore it is best that you sample shelled grain that has already been harvested. In order to cover a wider area, pick the grain from several plants and mix them together in a container before testing it for moisture. Make sure that you get at least three readings for an accurate estimate. Add three or four more points to the reading and you are good to go. Getting Accurate Readings with Elevator Testing
Before checking your grain for moisture content, first make sure that your moisture analyzer is in good working order. In other words, ensure that the battery is working, charged and ready to go.
If you are still not satisfied with your readings you can always compare them to your grain elevator or mill’s readings. For this you will need to check your grain samples a total of three times with your grain tester for an approximate reading. Do the same with the elevator or mill tester.
Remember, a tester with a faulty battery will show inaccurate readings. This is not something that you can afford to
Comparing samples from an elevator and portable tester is efficient since it will provide you grain samples with

happen. A farmer can end up selling his grain for less than half what it was actually worth because his grain tester shows that the moisture content is through the roof. A battery that is low in power will operate no differently so make sure that you have it replaced once a year. Also make sure that you take the battery out when the device isn’t in use.

varying levels of moisture content. Make sure that the containers you keep the grain in before testing is sealed tight especially if you want to take the samples home and throw them back in the elevator afterwards. Your tester needs to be checked out if both of the readings differ by more than 1.0 points. This estimate is for dry grain. The average difference for wet grain should not be more than 1.5 points. You can have your chosen grain tester analyzed by a professional service provider on an annual basis in order to ensure that it guarantees accurate readings. Your harvest (and not to mention your profit margin) depends on it. Test 5 to 10 more samples for good measure for a short term alternative. Go with the Flow Better yet, sample the grain when it is being unloaded from a vehicle. How do you do that? Collect samples in a bucket every 50 bushels or so. When the vehicle is emptied out, mix the grain in the bucket thoroughly. After that, take out a specific amount for the moisture test. Remember, it is important that you mix the grain before scooping out a sample to be tested. The moisture content might differ throughout. In other words, taking off a few inches off the top without mixing it will not continued on page A9
Types of Portable Grain Moisture Testers The management of moisture content takes precedence when it comes to perishable crops like grain. In other words, state of the art equipment is necessary when it comes to getting readings that are accurate especially during the wet season. Shown at the top left hand of this page are devices from Agtronix.
1. 08125 MT- PRO™ Portable Grain Moisture Tester: This particular grain tester from AgraTronix is great for nighttime tests since it comes with a backlit display.

Square balers from Case add capacity, efficiency and functional, modern style to haying operations It’s not often that a familiar silhouette changes so dramatically: Case IH has redesigned the new LB4 Series large square baler for both style and function. The new design changes encompass both internal and external changes that make the new LB4 series large square balers significantly more efficient than previous models. “We are very excited about the performance of this new baler series,” says Brett DeVries, Case IH Hay and Forage Marketing Manager. DeVries continued: “The goal is to help producers maximize short baling windows. The new design has increased capacity by as much as 20 percent.” Inside, the LB4 Series balers feature a new, high-inertia flywheel that is 19 percent larger than previous models and results in improved performance in uneven windrows. The new, high-capacity pickup features a roller windguard, feedassist roller and faster rpm’s to maximize crop flow into the baler. The gearbox runs at an astonishing 48 strokes per minute to put crop through the machine quicker and more efficiently.
better visibility around the baler and easier transport. Most major service points can be accessed by opening just one easy-open service door at ground-level, reducing complexity and maintenance time. The LB4 large square balers also come equipped with steering sensors that interface with the intuitive AFS Pro 700 display to more efficiently help producers build the perfect hay bale. ________________________________________
Universal Skid Steer Adapter for compact pin-on loaders Worksaver, Inc. introduces the Universal Skid Steer Adapter to allow the use of skid steer type attachments for compact tractors up to 40 hp. with pin-on type loaders. The adapter is 54” wide x 17” high and features an all welded design with plated handles, springs and locks. With the universal skid steer adapter, loaders on compact tractors with pin-on buckets can now be updated with the popular skid steer attaching method. Customers can also easily switch attachments between a skid steer loader and compact tractor loader. This adapter can be paired with a pin-on bracket set for compact tractors to complete the unit.
“The high-speed baling means producers can get more done in a day without compromising bale density or shape,” says DeVries.
“Case IH has always had an industry-leading double knotter assembly. The reliable, heavy-duty direct-drive knotters provide outstanding reliability, minimizing mistties,” says DeVries. Many other parts of the baler have been reinforced for better wear and longer life, including the all-new, heavy-duty frame on the pickup and reel.
The RX6010PC houses a 59-horsepower turbocharged Daedong diesel engine that is both powerful and fuel-efficient. KIOTI’s parent company, Daedong Industrial Company, Ltd., designs and builds its own engines, as well the other major components and systems on all KIOTI tractors, a practice the company has branded “The Power of 1™” manufacturing process. Manufacturing in this manner results in a better fit and finish, and optimal operating efficiencies on every KIOTI tractor built. On top of the 59-horsepower provided by the Daedong diesel engine, an additional 49.1-horsepower at 540 RPM is supplied by the standard independent rear PTO, giving the RX6010PC the ability to run a wide range of implements and attachments.
The 12-speed transmission allows for travel up to 19 mph in either forward or reverse. Additional standard features include an adjustable tilt steering wheel, responsive power steering and wet multi-disc brakes, electric over hydraulic four-wheel drive and rear differential lock, for superior traction over the toughest ground conditions.
“The LB4 large square baler has been put to the test, baling more than 200,000 bales, and it has excelled in all kinds of crops and conditions,” says DeVries.

More Comfortable Cab & Easier Controls Because operators are often in the field for long days and even longer nights, comfort is of utmost importance. That’s why Case IH Titan 30 Series floaters are equipped to help operators work more hours without efficiency-robbing fatigue. The newly redesigned Surveyor cab features more interior space, increased glass area, a new overhead control panel, improved interior dome and armrest lights, an exterior step light, and relocated external cab lights. The air-ride, 40-degree swivel seat provides a 180-degree field of vision, preventing neck strain. “Case IH Titan 30 Series floaters are easier than ever to use,” says Lehmann. “Application control switches are ergonomically placed on a console to the operator’s right, with the most commonly used controls placed on the control lever for simple, one-handed operation.” Designed for Solid Performance Performance and productivity for any floater rests on the frame’s structural integrity. The Titan 30 Series floaters are designed to withstand the most demanding field conditions. The frames are built of rectangular, cross-section steel tubing and are continuously welded, not just bolted together. This gives floaters maximum frame strength, protecting mounted components from stress cracking. Welded-in torsion tubes, plus top and bottom doublers in key stress areas, combine to form a rigid frame that easily carries heavy loads. The floaters contain large rear axles rated at 34,000 pounds with a wheel-end planetary and two-speed air-shift. This ruggedness helps the chassis handle the demands of day-in, day-out spreading and spraying over tough terrain.

Case IH Twin-Row planters offer innovative technology Advanced twin-row seeding technology is now available from Case IH for 2013. Accurate, dependable Case IH TwinRow planters provide a best-in-class solution to increase plant populations without changing cropping practices. “Twin-row crop production is increasing in popularity due to the potential yield advantages by narrowing corn rows,” says Bill Hoeg, Case IH Planter Sales and Marketing Manager in North America. “Case IH Twin-Row planters allow producers to increase plant populations without having to make any new investments or major modifications to existing harvesting or spraying equipment. Essentially, you change your planter and everything else remains the same as it was with 30-inch, 36-inch, 38-inch or 40-inch rows.” The concept involves staggering seed in two rows, eight inches apart on 30-inch, 36-inch, 38-inch or 40-inch centers. Therefore, a corn head set for 30-inch, 36-inch, 38inch or 40-inch rows can harvest twin rows at the same time. However, this technology is not just for those who want more bushels of corn per acre or higher tonnage corn silage.

«equipment at work Fencing company claims profits increased by 50% using the
Man Saver Post Driver
Making its mark in the post driver industry, Rohrer Manufacturing, creator of the ultra lightweight Man Saver Post Driver, helped increase profits over 45% for Lovewell Fencing, a Midwest based fencing company, in its residential fencing sector. (See case study below.) This driver is an American-made, lightweight portable pneumatic fence post driver on the market for farmers and ranchers, vineyards, construction centers, highway and public works departments to fence thousands of acres in a minimal amount of time without hauling thousands of pounds of equipment. 77-year-old machinist Dan Rohrer of Rohrer Manufacturing, created the fence post driver concept over 15 years ago. His vision was to create a tool that would reduce injuries, reduce time and budget. Today, Rohrer has developed a series of fence post drivers and expanded its capabilities with various adapters that allow them to drive almost any shaped post on the market up to 3.5" in diameter. The price of the drivers have never increased, making it the most competitive fence post driver on the market today. _________________________________________________________________________________________ The following CASE STUDY illustrates the clear comparison of the Man Saver Post Driver versus standard fence post drivers on the market:
CHALLENGE
pickup truck to reach remote areas.
Profits were down for Lovewell Fencing in their residential business sector due to increased expenses of utilizing and hauling heavy equipment for small fencing projects. The need was to acquire fence post driver equipment that required much less hauling costs.
•
IDEA After months of due diligence in the driver marketplace, Lovewell purchased seven M-type fence post drivers and insert sleeves that don't require large compressors. The ultimate goal was to reduce project expenses by eliminating the requirement to use heavy weight axle trailers to haul equipment and to reduce overall project expenses. The Man Saver Post Drivers run on small compressors that can be hauled in a small trailer, behind a four wheeler, or in the back of a
RESULT
• • •
Easy access to remote areas resulted in more job orders that may not have been profitable beforehand Reduced project expenses by 50% Increased production by 35-40% within six months Increased profits by 50% during initial six months
“It has definitely been a win-win for our company and our customers,” said Tom Lovewell, owner of Lovewell Fencing. “The introduction of the Man Saver Fence Post Drivers has enabled our company to greatly increase profits in just six months,” added Lovewell.
Lone Star Hydraulic Drills provide superior power in tough terrains Little Beaver’s line of Lone Star Hydraulic Drills work easily and efficiently in a variety of applications including, water well drilling, soil sampling, geotechnical testing and auger drilling. Available in four configurations, LS200H, LS200H+, LS300H and LS300H+, Lone Star Hydraulic Drills are capable of achieving drilling depths ranging from 200 to 300 feet. Designed for operation in areas with minimal resources for transportation, all hydraulic models break down to a compact size in order to be easily crated. Ideal for shipping to remote areas, the units are still powerful enough to reach target digging depths in all types of terrains. The LS200H and LS300H feature a simple hydraulic system with pullback forces of 2,500 pounds and push down forces adjustable up to 2,500 pounds. A convenient bypass flow switch offers precise control and adjustment to achieve desired pushdown force. Equipped with a standard anchor kit, the unit is capable of quick drilling in even the toughest, rockiest surfaces. Strategically placed controls provide easy operation of the rotary and the draw-works. Furthermore, a heavy-duty swivel base design allows the rotary to move aside for full and easy access to the borehole. Each drill is equipped with 11-horsepower Honda gas or 10-horsepower Yanmar or Hatz diesel engine for worry-free performance. The LS200H is ideal for drilling 6-inch boreholes in sand, clay, gravel and rock formations and offers a digging depth of 200 feet. The unit provides 70 RPM speed and 375 footpounds max torque. The LS300H provides the same speeds and torque but, thanks to its stronger mud pump, drills 6-inch boreholes up to 300 feet. A8
The LS200H+ and LS300H+ feature a more robust hydraulic system ideally suited to handle even more challenging and rough terrain. Built with the same operator-inspired design as the LS200H and LS300H, the LS200H+ and LS300H+ feature greater power and enhanced performance. Each unit is equipped with a 20-horsepower Honda gas or a 19-horsepower Yanmar diesel engine. The easy-to-operate hydraulic system features pullback forces of 5,000 pounds and push down forces adjustable up to 5,000 pounds when anchored, ensuring the drill reaches its specified depth every time. Similar to the LS200 and LS300, the LS200+ digs 6-inch boreholes at depths of up to 200 feet, and the LS300+ up to 300 feet. With rotation speeds of 95 RPM at 10 GPM and max torque of 665 foot-pounds, the added plus of these hydraulic drills make digging through soft to medium rock formations possible.
designed to help clear mud from the borehole and replace it with clean water. Also included is a bailer used to flush the hole and wash out fines and sediment, effectively pulling those loose materials out to create an efficient and clean water well. In addition, each unit is fully equipped with a toolbox containing a set of wrenches, necessary for tightening every bolt on the drill, a grease gun, pipe joint lubricant and a basic set of spare parts. This package allows for easy set-up, and efficient performance – for minimal hassle and downtime.
All Lone Star Hydraulic Drills are designed with longevity, ease of operation and convenience in mind. Made with a heavy-duty welded steel frame and reinforced table base, hydraulic drills provide years of reliable operation with little maintenance. For convenience during operation, a 3-way ball valve allows operators to bypass the mudflow when changing the pump, eliminating the need to shut down the mud pump. In addition, each drill is equipped with controls that include rear mounted dual and adjustable relief valves. Lone Star has also developed a package of tools and accessories that includes items needed to successfully operate in challenging environments. Packages vary for each model but include casing slips and a flush tool

GRAIN MOISTURE TESTERS give you precise readings. If you plan on testing the sample later, make sure that you cover the container. Getting Accurate Readings through Elevator Testing If you are still not sure about the readings, you can always compare them with the readings from your elevator’s tester. A Word to the Wise Grain testers might be convenient but that is no reason for you to ignore the user manuals that they come with. Give special attention to your chosen device’s temperature compensation. The temperature of your grain can affect the readings on the moisture tester. There are some testers that will adjust the temperature for you. However, there are also some that will either require you to adjust temperature compensation readings manually or measure the temperature of the grain yourself. Grain that is stored in either hot or cold temperatures will not give you accurate readings. For example, testing grain that is being dried is a bad idea. Electronic testers cannot accurately measure the moisture content of grain O CTOBER 20 12
that is being rapidly heated or rapidly cooled. The fact that grain loses a lot of its moisture while it cools is another reason why you should let it rest in a container before using the device to measure moisture content. Changing moisture levels is also why the same sample of grain should be measured more than three times until you come up with a satisfactory average estimate. Don’t let a few drops of moisture ruin all of your hard work. Farmers need ample time to prepare their crop before sending it to be sold. A grain moisture tester can help you save your harvest and ensure that it sells for what it is actually worth. _____________________________________ About AgraTronix: AgraTronix has been a leader in the electronic moisture sensing instrumentation industry for more than 37 years.

Efficiency is key when it comes to harvest, and this has become even more important in recent years as farm sizes increase yet the amount of time to harvest remains the same. “Harvest can and should move very quickly when the crop is ready,” says Phil Jennings, service manager at Kinze® Manufacturing, Inc. “The grain cart is a hard-working piece of equipment and farmers should make sure it’s in good shape before heading to the field.” To ensure farmers have the most efficient harvest possible, Jennings recommends they perform preseason maintenance on their grain carts. “In farming, there are so many factors that we cannot control. Preventive maintenance helps us maximize the opportunity to be effective and efficient at harvest time,” says Jennings. Grain carts are inherently simple products compared to other farm machinery, so most of the pre-harvest maintenance can be done with visual checks in a short amount of time, says Jennings. Farmers who perform these preharvest measures will be prepared when the crop is ready. “By the time harvest rolls around, it may have been 10 months since your cart has been used,” says Jennings. “Carts get used hard at harvest, and usually don’t get looked at again until the following year. When you rely on a piece of equipment this much, it’s imperative to take preventive measures to be certain there are no surprises in the field.”

Kinze Manufacturing's 'Gear up your Grain Cart for Harvest' Checklist •
Inspect augers for noticeable wear – over time augers may become smaller in diameter, which will diminish their performance.
•
Check for proper adjustment of the drive belts and make sure serviceable parts of the power take off (PTO) shafts are greased or serviced.
•
If wheels carry your cart, reset the torque on the wheel nuts and check the tire pressure.
•
If tracks carry your cart, check the torque on various bolts and tension on the track itself.
•
Check the oil in the gearbox.
•
Look over the tarp to make sure there aren’t any tears or spots showing wear.
•
Confirm the accuracy of the scale system by checking the weight and load of your cart with the legal for trade scale at your local grain elevator.
•
Inspect the hydraulic hoses to ensure they have no visible wear spots or leaks.
•
Make sure the lights are working properly.

The Heat Is On! Battling Siblings Dear Michael: We have three children and it already looks like there is going to be a battle when my husband and I die. The two children who left the farm feel like the one who stayed on the farm is getting and will get a lot more in value than what they will receive. The one who stayed on the farm thinks he should get the whole shooting match because he's the one who stuck around for the past twenty years. Things are already getting tense at family get togethers and a few sharp words have already been spoken between the three of them (and their spouses). How are we going to deal with this situation so it doesn't blow up even before we die? What are our chances things will go the way we want them upon our death when they are already getting into it today? I feel like we've got bulls-eyes on our backs and the kids are getting ready to shoot. - Targeted

Dear Targeted: There are a lot of factors coming in to play in the last decade that have made this a lot more difficult situation than it was in the nineteen-nineties. One, farming has had a remarkable run and it's tough for the other kids to come home and see their sibling suddenly prospering in the agricultural business. When they left, no one wanted to farm because there was no money in it. Two, for most of the children who left the farm, they put their money into their own futures - staying with the same job, keeping up with the company 401k retirement plan, buying and paying for their real estate. The sad truth is over the past decade, just about every American has seen a dramatic downslide in their overall net worth - from the loss of value on their homes, the losses in their retirement plans, the governments talk about lowering or changing Social Security. Again, just in the past ten years, we've seen a dramatic shift from people having a lot of security as they head into retirement to suddenly realizing they could be working (if they even have a job) for the rest of their life. It's awful easy, when you've seen everything else in your life go down, to suddenly look at your farming sibling and see that their fortunes have gone the opposite direction. It's neither good nor bad, but it's certainly human nature, to realize the future shortcomings of what you thought was a securely planned retirement, and see your sibling suddenly sitting on top of land that's worth a fortune. Three, and this is just part of the economics of this part of the country right now is North Dakota, and parts nearby, are suddenly swimming in wealth due to the economic, agriculture and/or oil development. This news has been heralded in every major news piece from CBS to PBS as well as Money Magazine to the New York Times, It used to be when you left the state, when people would ask where you were from, you'd answer and they'd reply 'Is that where the faces of the president's are?' I was just down in Texas and Denver this summer and everyone, and I mean everyone, knows where and what is happening up here now. Your other children are also aware of this coverage, as well as what they've learned by returning back here and news
from home. Somehow it's gotten implanted in their heads that everyone here is rich and getting richer - and by gosh, if the farming son is somehow gaining by this, then they should get a piece of the pie, as well. This is something you hear from all across the country - the rest of the country is more than just a little bit jealous about this situation - and it comes out, oddly enough, in estate planning, as well. That jealousy factor comes into play when talking to your children because things aren't so great where they live. If you think this situation is going to get better in the future - or upon your death - Targeted, I think you needn't worry about that - you are guaranteed things are going to blow up some day if they are already sniping at one another. When times were tough in agriculture and no one wanted to farm, estate counseling was a lot easier. Now that times are tough around the rest of the country coupled with the recent good fortunes in our area and in agriculture, estate planning is going to get intense. How to deal with it? Work out a plan that you feel is fair to everyone and then discuss that plan with the members of your family. If they come home for holidays or for other reasons, tell them to set aside half a day when you can talk over what your plans are - and tell them to leave their spouses and kids out of it. You don't get to weigh in on what your in-laws parents are going to do - why should they be involved in your property settlements (unless they've been part of the farm business)? Before you do, though, take some time to really add up all the numbers with an expert. I find a lot of people 'under value' the assets they own and expect their children to agree with them when they are blatantly low. If you do that, you're just throwing fuel on the fire and it's not going to go well. Next week we'll continue on this vein and talk more about what needs to be done. Do you have questions about estate planning? Need to know more about how you can "Keep the Family Farm in the Family"? Email questions to Michael Baron at mbaron@btinet. net or call him at 800-373-4078.

“My newly born baby had chronic diaper rash. Several doctors had tried to get it to go away... nothing seemed to work, she continued to be raw and sore. She cried all the time. I tried your Chickweed Healing Salve, putting it on that night. By the next morning she was much better. After using it for two days, she was completely cured. She doesn’t cry anymore. I paid $19.95 for it, however I would gladly have paid $100.” – Shellie Cooper, Stanley, Kansas

All these matters require much time and effort to uncover and re-
FARM and RANCH LIFE
solve to the degree that both the husband and wife feel they can go on together. The healing process takes at least a year and usually much longer for both partners to reestablish trust and full commitment to faithfulness thereafter. In a sense, it takes the rest of their lives. The farm persons I see in my professional office are a little different than the nonfarm persons I have assisted over the years.
By Dr. Michael R. Rosmann
The reasons why farm persons have approached me for marital assistance include these, from more to less frequent: gradually growing apart due to excessive and often continuing farming-related stresses, financial problems, overindulgence in work, problems among in-laws, involvement in alcohol or drug abuse, child or
What Happens After The Affair?
spouse abuse, and failure or refusal to obtain treatment for other behavioral health problems such as major or bipolar depression. Almost always the troubled marriage partners need outside help—
A number of popular Hollywood movies involving the farm and ranch population have portrayed extramarital affairs as acceptable, such as The Bridges of Madison County, The Horse Whisperer, and Brokeback Mountain. However, most extramarital affairs usually have devastating effects on the participants, and also on any children in their respective families.
The divorce rates of farm and non-farm couples have been about the same for 30 years, whereas in previous generations farm couples divorced less frequently. Somewhat over 40 percent of first marriages involve divorce; about 60% of second marriages end in divorce and the odds of divorce increase with each successive marriage.
Recently a farmer in another state emailed me about an affair he had with his neighbor’s wife. He asked if I would write about marriage and infidelity.
In my experience, considerably less than half of farm and non-farm divorces involve extramarital sex, inappropriate internet or telephone contacts, or engaging in pornography with persons other than their mates.
I thank this person for bringing up a matter that troubles many farm and nonfarm people alike. After learning about the affair, the neighbor’s husband filed for divorce. The wife of the man who contacted me wants to put the matter behind them but he feels unresolved about a number of things. Between the two couples there are five children. I don’t have personal experience involving adultery because Marilyn and I have always been faithful during our 40 years of marriage. As a professional psychologist, I have worked with many individuals and couples involved in ongoing or past affairs; this article draws on what I have learned about marital fidelity.
Children are likely to emulate their parents. Almost always, their parents are their most important role models for their own marriages. How their parents behave makes these behaviors more acceptable to the children. Children who witness – or learn later on – that their parents divorced, have an increased chance of getting divorced from their own spouses.
Survey statistics suggest that 35-65 percent of marriages involving an extramarital affair end in divorce. Even though one or both parents cheated on his/her spouse and they did not divorce, their children still have a higher risk of cheating in their own marriages. Conversely, if children observe their parents repair their marital relationship, the children are more likely to take similar steps when “the going gets tough” in their respective marriages.
An extramarital affair does not have to lead to divorce. The sequel to this is even more important: It takes a lot of work to fix what’s wrong in the relationship. Usually there are many underlying issues that contribute to unfaithful behavior. Physical or sexual attraction to participate in an affair is usually temporary and diminishes as the participants realize their thrills are not necessarily love. As persons withdraw from an affair they typically experience depression, uncertainty about their marriage relationship and themselves, and they may seek renewal of illicit relations or a new lov-
such as a trained mediator, psychologist, marriage and family therapist, professional counselor, pastor or other competent professional. The profession of the helper is less important than the skill and wisdom of this person or persons. As the partners resolve the issues that contributed to the affair, it is beneficial to conduct a Renewal of Vows ceremony. It is beneficial to incorporate the children and trusted friends and family members in the service, even if they are not aware of the extramarital affair.
Sometimes the marriage is beyond repair and trust can’t be rebuilt. There are occasions when divorce is best for all the involved parties, including the children. Perhaps one partner decides to not endure another affair or deed that earns further mistrust. Like the repair work, the decision to divorce is best made with outside consultation and after giving the partner opportunity to change destructive behaviors.
Dr. Michael R. Rosmann brings the perspective of a farmer in “Farm And Ranch Life”. Dr. Rosmann grew up on a mixed grain and livestock farm in Western Iowa where he experienced enjoyable hard work and 4-H, and witnessed the stresses that accompany farming and farm life. Dr. Rosmann developed the first mental health response in Iowa to the Farm Crisis of the 1980s. In 2001, Dr. Rosmann, along with partners in seven states, founded the nonprofit network, AgriWellness Inc. AgriWellness conducted research and provided counseling services to farm people. It became clearer that a specialized field – agricultural behavioral health – was needed to respond to the unique problems experienced by farmers, ranchers and others involved in agriculture. Email Dr. Rosmann at mike@agriwellness.org, or visit his website at www. agbehavioralhealth.com. You can call him at his office in Harlan, Iowa at 712-235-6100.

“Peel & Stick” Engine Preheater The ‘peel & stick’ Universal Preheater attaches to the bottom or the side of the oil pan and converts the housing into a heat transfer element. It warms the oil without burning it making cold starts easy. It can be used on gearboxes, transmissions, transfer cases, water tanks and even bulk oil tanks. The Preheater plugs into any 120 or 240 volt outlet and consists of a thin silicone fiberglass pad containing a metal grid. To install it, you clean an area on the bottom or side of the oil pan and press the pad onto it, then use silicone to seal the edges of the pad and place a flexible ceramic insula- tion pad over it. It is available in several models depending on the lube capacity. A 50 watt unit sells for $42 and a 350 watt unit sells for $133.

PENNYWISE Another Tool in the Fine Art of Money Management
By Paula Vogelgesang
It's 'Draft Dodging' Time Again! It's hard to think about icy winds and cruel, bitter cold when the temperatures are still nice and warm, but the overnight temperatures are getting colder now, and will continue to do so.
I also check the door and window frames, corners of the house where the siding comes together and around my built-in water cooler air conditioner. (Around that piece of metal, I use foam sealant.)
While the weather is still mild, it's a good time to go over the outside of your home and 'bat the cracks'. I read an article that said that almost every home has the equivalent of a 2-1/2 square foot open hole that allows air leakage that can easily cost us anywhere from 30 to 40 percent more in heating and cooling bills!
I also put caulking around the gap where the house meets the foundation, and I have discovered that this is one of my biggest money savers. It takes a lot of caulk and foam to close
Since this amounts to a fairly large chunk of change to the tune of several hundreds of dollars a year or more, it's wise to plug those holes any way we can. I buy caulking in the fall every year and go around the outside of my house. A good place to start is where any pipes come into your home – plumbing and heating, etc. To keep out the 'mouse-type' critters, plug the biggest holes with steel wool. Mice can't chew through the stuff. Cover the steel wool with the caulking.
the gap, but the amount of savings in heating and cooling are considerable. We also put plastic sheeting over the windows. It cuts down on the drafts considerably in this old farm house, and, it's something I can do myself. Then, I make some I call 'Draft Dodgers'. My 'Draft Dodgers' are nothing more than old blue jeans legs stitched shut on one end – or you can make a tube out of the fabric of your choice. Fill the fabric 'tube' it with anything heavy – like sand, sawdust or grains. I use wood stove pellets in my tubes. I don't care to use grains or beans because if they get wet, things start to grow or worse, get moldy. I don't sew the open end of the tube shut for that reason. I just use a heavy rubber band as a closure. Remember: Caulk and save! And make a 'Dodger' or two for yourself, or make several to give as practical gifts for Christmas!
Save Money By Getting A Head Start on Holiday Savings (and other helpful hints!) der a dollar. This keeps the kids busy for days and days, drawing, cutting and coloring.
STARTING EARLY ON HOLIDAY SEASON SAVING Cutting the cost of holiday giving doesn't mean not giving gifts – it means you change your attitude and strategy to fit your pocket. Agriculture is mostly a once-a-year paycheck. Next fall is a long way off, and we have 12 months of bills to keep paid up – so we make a lot of our gifts. We listen to folks all year long say, "Gee, II'd sure like a ________(fill in the blank)." If you find that item on sale or can make it for that person, the gift means a lot more than just anything slapped in wrapping paper! Always pay in CASH. By starting early, like October, you can stretch the buying out over time so you won't have any credit card payments come January. We made a lot of the toys for our children. Wooden blocks cut from ends of lumber, sanded smooth and then either painted (or not) and put in a container for safekeeping. This made for many hours of building things, and we didn't spend the $30 to $40 for the commercially made blocks. We also decorated the cardboard box with glued-on gift wrap and it lasted for years. We also shopped for things for 'busy boxes' for the smaller children nearing school age. Crayons on sale for 25 cents a box, glue sticks for 10 cents each, 25 cents for four to six pencils, a ream of paper ($3 for 500 sheets), and a pair of blunt-nosed school scissors for unO CTOBER 20 12
For the 'Drama Queen' who loves to pretend, a 'Dress-Up' box can be made of yard sale items: Jewelry, fancy dress shoes – what little princess doesn't love to trip around in highheels! A fancy dress can be cut to size with a pair of shears so the little ones don't trip. We go to thrift stores for these things and for under $10 you can dress the princess in style! Home made play dough is also a welcome gift and easily made with one of the many recipes available in craft books and on-line.
CHEAP WRAPPING As the stores clearance their summer merchandise like paper plates, napkins, and tablecloths, you can get ahead of the game and stretch those holiday dollars a little bit further. I buy the paper tablecloths for 50 cents at this time of year, and then use them to wrap gifts for Christmas – especially for the little ones. They don't care what is printed on the paper; they are going to rip it off anyway to get to the toys inside. Why spend $5 for a fancy roll of gift paper that will end up in the trash?
BAKING SAVINGS Many of our Christmas gifts are food items, either made up for immediate enjoyment or in the form of a basket of baking supplies for those who love to make their own goodies. I watch for sales on things like chocolate chips, nuts, colored sprinkles, brown and powdered
sugars, cooking oil and butter/shortening. Be sure and check the prices on different brands of the sugars, etc. Many times the 'advertised brand names' will be double the cost of the store brand. When it comes down to it, sugar is sugar, flour is flour, corn syrup is corn syrup (you get the picture. Compare the prices and save many $$$! These items are placed in baskets, boxes and bags that are found at yard sales. Once decorated with some inexpensive wrappings these thoughtful gifts are very cost effective. We also make jams, jellies, pickles and relishes during the summer/fall months when the farmer's markets are full of good, healthy fruits and vegetables. Why pay $8 or $10 for a jar of expensive jam when you can make five or six jars of jam for the same amount of money, especially if you have several people on your list to give to?
SHOP FOR STOCKING STUFFERS Almost anything can go in a stocking for Christmas. Start stashing these away now: • Baseball or football cards • Flashlights and batteries • Tools of all kinds, screwdrivers, tape measures, folding rulers, pliers, small hammer • Decks of cards • New paperback books • Gloves of any kind • Handkerchiefs. • Stocking caps • Stickers. • Sock

Basically, anything small that can be purchased for under $3 can be a stocking stuffer.
POWDER STRETCHER For those of you who love the scented bath powder, but hate to pay 'that much money' for it, here's a tip from a reader: Measure out the scented bath powder into a measuring cup, perhaps a quart size, and then put that into a large bowl, then measure out the same amount of cornstarch. (Yes, the kind you buy in the grocery store.) Mix the starch with the scented powder and you have doubled the amount for around a dollar! This same reader also said that folks with babies should read labels because quite a bit of the 'baby powder' found in the kids section is nothing more than simple cornstarch. I used plain cornstarch when my children were babies because they tended to develop rashes when I used the scented products. I assume they were allergic to the chemicals that made the stuff smell pretty!
VINEGAR RESCUE FOR AN OLD TEAKETTLE A reader writes: I bought a nice looking teakettle at a yard sale for a dollar and when I got it home, I found out why it sold so cheap: It had a 'crust' of mineral deposit almost three-quarters of the way up on the inside. I took three cups of

Save money by getting a head start on the holiday season, Continued white vinegar and six cups of water, put it in the kettle and simmered the mixture for a good 30 minutes or so and then dumped it out. Most of the white deposit came off the first time through. I repeated the mixture a second time and have been rewarded with a wonderful 'new to me' teakettle for the added cost of 50 cents worth of vinegar and a little time. 'MARKED' EGGS When I hard-boil eggs, I like to cook a dozen at a time as they keep for several days and that will save time and energy. I put a few drops of food coloring in the cooking pan at the start. The eggs get a little bit of color so I can tell which are cooked and which are raw.
COATING MIX for MEATS (almost free) A reader suggests that you save those last few bits and crumbs in the bottom of cereal boxes, pretzel bags, chip bags, and cracker sleeves. She saves these crumbs in a bag in her freezer until she has about 2 cups of the 'stuff', then runs it through the blender or food processor and adds some flour and seasoning salts. She then uses this mixture to coat her meats for grilling or frying. She says it's not the biggest money-saver, but all of the little hints and ideas like this that you use helps to stretch that bottom line a longer ways and with a family, that is important.

My children loved Halloween. They always made up their own costumes from old clothes, some of mom's makeup, and scrounged whatever they needed. Old sheets work pretty well torn into strips for a zombie, or just put over your head with eye holes for a ghost costume. Costumes out in the country are different that those of the 'city' kids because going trick or treating out here means a minimum of a four mile ride to the nearest neighbor's house – so costumes were, by necessity, pretty simple because getting in and out of a vehicle a dozen times is a challenge if you are wearing something long and dragging behind you. Encourage the children to be creative and make their costumes from things they find around the house. You will be surprised at what they can come up with for very little cash, and it's very good for their imagination! if you have tips or ideas to share, send them to Pennywise, Box 518, Kadoka, SD 57543 or better yet, email Pennywise at pennywise@gwtc.net.

The Positive Outlook
“Food for Thought”
By Steve Huneke
Robert Pagliarini
Email: huneke5@rainbowtel.net
Robert Pagliarini is a CBS MoneyWatch columnist and the author of “The Other 8 Hours: Maximize Your Free Time to Create New Wealth & Purpose” and the national best-seller “The Six Day Financial Makeover.” Visit YourOther8Hours.com.
The True Meaning of Maturity I would like share a cute story with you by an unknown author: Amber, age 6, was sitting at the kitchen table, watching her mother rinse the dinner dishes before putting them in the dishwasher. Noticing that Mom was sporting a few strands of white hair in addition to her familiar auburn color, Amber asked inquisitivley, "Momma, why are those hairs white?" "Well, every time yo do something wrong and make me cry, or make me unhappy, one of my hairs turns white," Mom replied. This was a new insight for Amber. She was quiet for a while and then asked, "Momma, how come all of Grandma's hairs are white?" Children understand more about life than we sometimes think they do. Maturity is the ability to control anger and settle differences without violence and destruction. Maturity is patience. It is the willingness to pass up immediate pleasure in favor of long-term gain. Maturity is perseverance, the ability to sweat out a project or a situation in spite of heavy opposition and discouraging setbacks. Maturity is the capacity to face unpleasantness and frustration, discomfort and defeat, without complaint or collapse. Maturity is humility. It is being big enough to say, "I was wrong." And, when you're right, you need not say, "I told you so." Maturity is the ability to make a decision and follow through. The immature spend their lives exploring endless possibilities and then do nothing. Maturity means dependability, keeping one's word and coming through in a crisis. The immature are masters of the alibi. They are conflicted and disorganized. Their lives are a maze of broken promises, former friends, unfinished business and good intentions that never materialize.
And, based on the Serenity Prayer: Maturity is the art of living in peace with what we cannot change, the courage to change what we know should be changed, and wisdom to know the difference. Difficulties in life are intended to make us better – not bitter. And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. 31: If God is for us, who can be against us? This is purely my opinion that other Christians may agree with: If you pursue happiness, it will elude you. But if you focus on God and your family first, the needs of others, your work, meeting new people, and doing the very best you can, happiness will find you.
Bruce Lee: Personal Growth Guru? A list of the best personal development gurus of all time would have to include Dale Carnegie, Jim Rohn, Tony Robbins and Bruce Lee. That last one is not a typo. Bruce Lee is known for creating Jeet Kune Do and his many martial arts films from the 1970s, but if you study his philosophy, he was a deep thinker and knew what was required to become successful. Let's look at a few of his quotes to see how they can help you live a better, fuller, richer life. Achieve your biggest goals "If you always put limits on everything you do, physical or anything else, it will spread into your work and into your life. There are no limits. There are only plateaus, and you must not stay there, you must go beyond them."
This drought has been so dry that when the salmon swam up stream they left a cloud of dust.
If you talk to any extreme endurance athlete, they will tell you emphatically that the key to success or failure lies in their mind, not in their bodies. Their bodies will succumb to the pain if and only if their minds allow it to. They will condition their minds as much as their bodies because they know that if they allow for a single thought of doubt or weakness, then the game is over. In what areas of your life do you feel stuck? What can you do right now that will help you push forward?
I would like to close with a brain teaser:
Secret to getting anything you want in life
I am your constant companion. I can be your greatest asset or heaviest burden. I can push you to success or down to disappointment. I am at your command! Half the things you do might as well be turned over to me because I do them for you as if you are asleep. I can do them quickly, correctly, and profitably. I am easily managed, just be firm with me. In those who are great so am I, In those who are failures, I probably am too. I am not a machine even though I work with the precision of one and the intelligence of a person. You can run me for profit or ruin, show me what you want done, educate me, train me, lead me, reward me! And then I will do it automatically. I am your servant.
"If you spend too much time thinking about a thing, you'll never get it done."
佡ONE-LINER about the DROUGHT:
Who or what am I? The answer is HABIT! Enjoy the beautiful change of weather! –Steve Huneke
The most successful people are often not the smartest, because when you are "smart," you of course need to calculate, analyze and ponder before tackling a new goal or project. Those of us who aren't Mensa members don't feel compelled to conduct such analysis so we just get started. Bruce's principle is more true today than when he said it. We have access to so much more information than ever before, and we now need turn-by-turn navigation for everything in our life or we feel naked. We couldn't possibly just start, could we? "To hell with circumstances; I create opportunities." We are experiencing a deficit of personal responsibility. There will always be 1,000 reasons why you can't do something, why it's not your fault and why you should blame others for your situation. That's easy. Three-year-old children have already mastered this. The greatest gift you can give yourself is to fully accept responsibility for every area of your life. Unhappy in your relationship? You can continue to blame your partner, but 20 years will pass and you'll still be unhappy and you'll still be blaming her. Finances in shambles? You can blame politicians, the economy and Wall Street bankers, but doing so will never help you improve your money situation. That's the funny thing about blame and responsibility. Who to blame is a whole lot less important than what will be done to resolve the problem – and that requires you taking full responsibility. How to invest your time and energy for maximum success "The successful warrior is the average man, with laser-like focus." Think about the most successful people you know personally. Is there anything special about them? Probably not. What makes them unique is that they invested and dedicated time, energy and focus into a particular area. Find your niche and specialize. Become the best in the world in that area. You can be average at 99 percent of your job, but if you excel at the right 1 percent, then you will be a superstar and will never have to worry about job security. "I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times."

This is where you should start your 10,000 "kicks." Bruce Lee: the martial artist, actor and now personal growth master. His philosophy is timeless as is his approach to creating a better life.

clear clutter, organize your home, & reclaim your life Fall Organization: Interview With An Expert June Cleaver, from the television series Leave It to Beaver, doesn’t live here anymore, but many years ago I married a man whose mother could sure have given June a run for her money. In fact, back in the sixties, my mother-inlaw, who raised three boys, was nominated for Suburban Homemaker of the Year of St. Paul, Minnesota. Her home was described as “a model of neatness and comfort.” No kidding. For years this has been scary, motivating, and intriguing to me. I wondered: How can I ever keep as nice a home? Gosh, I had better get my act together. And, most important, how did she do it? I finally got the courage to ask her and this is what I learned. Laundry practices were first on my list of questions because my husband still speaks longingly of his childhood underwear drawer, always magically tidy and full. Did she do laundry all the time? Many people who attend my clutter control classes say they are constantly doing laundry. My mother-in-law said no. She did laundry on Mondays and Thursdays. She used bleach alternate times on her whites, so whites would stay white without getting holes in them. She put a fabric sheet in every dryer load so things wouldn’t have static and stick together. How often were sheets and towels changed? (Do you ever wonder how often other people really do this?) My motherin-law washed towels every time she did laundry and sheets got changed once per week and washed on a laundry day. How about the rest of the bedding? The beds got stripped down, and everything on the beds got washed, and the mattresses were turned in the spring and in the fall. She demonstrated how to neatly fold a fitted sheet by tucking the corners into each other, smoothing the sheet flat, and then folding it neatly. Cool. With three boys and a dog, she must have dusted and vacuumed constantly? No. She said she dusted and vacuumed once per week unless there was a specific mess
that needed to be cleaned up. Did she move the furniture every time? No, she only moved it once in a while. Did she clean the baseboards and curtains every time? No. She did a thorough room-by-room cleaning once each spring and fall. What about windows? They got cleaned every six months, including the storms and the screens. Did she empty closets out all the time? No. She would just cull out extra stuff in closets when she was in them. She didn’t empty out the closets at all. Most toys were kept in a central spot downstairs. I am guessing this helped keep the bedrooms tidier and easier to straighten. Maybe the kitchen and bathroom were getting cleaned all the time? Did she spend all her time mopping? No. These rooms got scrubbed down once a week. As a little preventative maintenance, she did quickly swish out the tub each time. The toilet, tub, and the rest of the bathroom got cleaned weekly. Did she have special cleaning products that did a better job than anyone else’s? No. She used a solution of one-part vinegar to three-parts water for cleaning glass mirrors and windows. She used an over-the-counter product in the kitchen, a spray product for soap scum, and a clinging product for the toilet bowls. She liked non-sudsing ammonia in water for general cleaning. After wiping down fi xtures, this same water would be used to mop the bathroom and kitchen floors. It was a simple effective system, and it didn’t waste cleaning water either. What was I learning? There were no astounding discoveries here, but I began to see a pattern. My mother-in-law had very thorough organizational habits. Also, almost every time I asked a cleaning question, her answer included “unless there was something more important going on that day.” Keeping a clean house was important, but it was clear that people and activities came first. She wasn’t one to

waste time lingering over partially completed tasks. When I asked about laundry, she said, “If I’m getting tied down doing laundry, I might as well get it done and over with.” Her secrets to nice housekeeping didn’t include fanatically frequent cleaning schedules or special mystery cleaning products. She had developed regular routines, including a twice-per-year system for those nagging big projects. I often waste time pondering and worrying about some of the big cleaning jobs instead of just doing them. I think it would be very freeing to establish a better weekly schedule and to practice a twice-per-year spring and fall deep cleaning schedule. If I know I am going to do laundry on Thursdays, I don’t have to think about it the other six days of the week. If I mark down a couple weeks twice a year on my calendar for the big projects, I can quit fretting about them the rest of the year. Maybe I can simplify my own housekeeping by following my mother-in-law’s lead of sticking to a few reasonable household cleaning habits. Ultimately, we each have different lives and circumstances, so we each get to find what works best. This is one approach.

4-H Worth Saving If you recall, we put out a plea for help to save 4-H---about a year ago. The response from people offering to help save 4-H programs across this great country of ours has been overwhelming. The objective has not only been to raise enough money to keep our 4-H programs alive and well, but to philosophically and politically up-grade 4-H to a higher level of importance. From the County to the National scene there has to be a newfound recognition of the importance of 4-H. Both Congress and County Supervisors have to recognize that 4-H is about building character and leadership. The purpose of the projects is to teach skills, but understanding the value of relationships and how to maintain them is far more important than that of finishing a steer or baking a cake. Would this country be in the financial mess that it’s in if our current leaders were as astute as our “founding fathers”? The government way back in the 1800’s saw fit to create 4-H; realizing that this country would be built on the “backs” of its youth. The only thing that has changed in all those years is our deviation from our “roots”. Greed and self-serving bureaucracy that can’t see beyond ME FIRST have watered down those solid “Christian values”. While filling their own pockets and laughing all the way to the bank, government threw us enough crumbs to make us believe that our multi-tiered homes with a car in every stall was the result of their actions. Now we are paying the price for their unscrupulous ways, and suffering the consequences. Should 4-H have to suffer at the expense of these lying, cheating thieves that couldn’t run their own businesses? Giving bailouts to failed companies that, in turn, reward incompetency with multimillion dollar bonuses, is like giving trophies and purple ribbons to he/she who stands at the bottom of the class. How can we justify such financial waste---while, at the same time, saying there isn’t enough money to support 4-H? Rewarding failure, while penalizing success makes little or no sense to me! What kind of a role model have we become for our kids? The younger generation is going to O CTOBER 20 12
have to pay for our mistakes, but let’s not compound the situation by removing the one model in our life that has stood the test of time and produced a platform of stability and leadership. 4-H is the one constant form which many of us draw strength and measure competitive standards in life. The “standard bearer” of 4-H is that of teaching kids to be good stewards of their life and the lives of those they affect. Life isn’t just about doing it yourself; it is equally that of doing for others. The more you give the more you get back in return! 4-H instills these values in a way that leaves a lifetime impression. Do we really want to see our kids cheated out of this, one of life’s finest opportunities, to develop character and responsibility? When you cheat, you cheat those closest and most dependent upon you. Is there anyone closer to you than your kids? Can the cheaters in Washington really do this with good conscious? Are their priorities so eroded that they no longer recognize those principals that made this country great? 4-H is more than a match for this crazy world. 4-H not only has what it takes to excel at most anything, but to adapt when changes come along. 4-H has an adventurous spirit and sense of assurance that comes from having overcome challenges before. However, are we up to this challenge, or do we stand back with our hands in our pocket? 4-H has taught the skills to self-sustain and overcome the obstacles that life throw our way. It has shown us strength in the weakest of times and a determination that is unmatched. Isn’t this what dreams are made of? Isn’t this why we should step up to the plate and fight for what’s right? I’ve noted, with interest, that there are some counties that have taken the initiative of increasing sales tax. One county in particular is considering adding an extra half-cent to the sales tax to make up for lost state aid and add another revenue stream. This would more than adequately cover the cost of servicing 4-H. When considering cuts in local government aid of more that $100 million per average county, the threat of discontinuing 4-H is understandable. My point of contention is--should it be 4-H that goes, os is there a
PONY TALES By Ponty
4-H ACHIEVEMENT It was a typical Saturday chore day back on the farm; doing those extra things that never get done during the week. The only thing different about this Saturday was the urgency to get it all done early enough to attend an afternoon county 4-H activities meeting. It was obvious that my Dad was more engaged than usual, and finally, he just couldn’t hold back any longer---he just blurted out, “I’m not supposed to tell you this, but you’re going to get a big reward this afternoon.” He didn’t tell me what it was, but it was pretty obvious that this was his cue for telling me to kick it into high gear and be prepared to be at my best. This meant dressing a little nicer, being on time, and on my best behavior. There is this ol’folklore about dads living their lives vicariously through their son. This was the epiphany of this too familiar scenario. Just as Dad was always front and center in his involvement in all of my 4-H projects, this occasion was the “icing on the cake”. He just couldn’t contain himself in the exuberance of the moment. When the county extension agent (Johnson) presented me with the Alpha Gamma Rho state achievement award it was like the most special thing that had ever happened in my life. A gold, personalized watch to be held in perpetuity was second only to that of my parents’ sense of pride. Though there are times when working on the farm that ones’ finest jewelry shouldn’t be worn, it was such a
statement of achievement that I just couldn’t take it off. But much to the chagrin of my mother, I accidently lost it while moving machinery from one field to another. It slipped off my arm, in the most precarious of situations, and later retrieved in that of an unbelievable fluke. It was my mother’s relentless determination of faith that found her following an old county road grader down the road that she had been searching with a “fine tooth comb”. In her mind it was a lost cause, except that she and God had a working relationship like none other. The sun was shining brighter and higher than I had ever seen it, and sure enough there was this bright glistening reflection; almost blinding as she went for the light-it was the watch! There was nothing that could up-stage this experience --- except, maybe the following year when I was now enrolled in college. The announcement wasn’t so dramatic, but, none the less still exciting. It was a more formal a notice, and I again had been selected for the “State Achievement Award.” This time it was a trip to 4-H Congress in Chicago; leadership involvement that more clearly defined my purpose and direction in life. Thanks to 4-H I’ve never wavered from those values of HEAD-HEART-HANDS that have impacted my life.

However, are we up to this challenge, or do we stand back with our hands in our pocket?
When considering cuts in local government aid of more that $100 million per average county, the threat of discontinuing 4-H is understandable. My point of contention is---should it be 4-H that goes, os is there a need for a review board to oversee such action. I am not for raising taxes, but it is one option to put on the table for consideration. Perhaps there are several programs that should be eliminated long before 4-H. It only takes 300 signatures to initiate a countrywide referendum, so maybe that’s the place to start in our county. You still have a voice and more power than a hand-full of county commissioners! Our current economic disaster represents such a contradiction of values. Food and shelter are in such desperate peril; putting businesses, families, and relationships at risk. Contrast this with kids playing sports for multi million dollar salaries. Is this the message we want to send our kids? Kids being paid obscene amounts of money to play a game that they would otherwise play for nothing is disrespectful to those who just want to play a role in life of responsibility, accomplishment and accountability. We need a reality check--not a check of disproportionate value! We have money enough to support athletic franchise pay rolls in excess of a $100 million, and, yet, we can’t see the rationale and wisdom of supporting our 4-H programs. Until these issues get resolved this country is doomed to fail. Just as sports should stand alone, without public subsidy, 4-H should lead the way in corroborating a co-existence with society. The merits of the building blocks of 4-H should be more sustainable then that game of chance. Consider the building blocks of 4-H:
HEAD - HEART - HANDS - HEALTH I pledge my head to clearer thinking, my heart to greater loyalty, my hands to larger service, and my health to better living--for my club, my community, and my world. Talent, persistence, and ability enter the equation of success for any kid; be it that of sports or a lifetime achievement of 4-H. Both 4-H and sports have carved a niche in the lives of our kids. Both play an important role in the development of their future. But to disproportionately support one at the expense of the other seems a little disingenuous. Over-achievers will always be compensated; monetarily or honorably, but may the playing field be made equal. It is an honor to win a championship; an honor that can’t be taken away from with any amount of money, so put the weight of your support in the arena of greatest value!

“PROFITS GROW WITH KNIGHTRO”
4-H has taught the skills to self-sustain and overcome the obstacles that life throw our way. It has shown us strength in the weakest of times and a determination that is unmatched. Isn’t this what dreams are made of? Isn’t this why we should step up to the plate and fight for what’s right? I’ve noted, with interest, that there are some counties that have taken the initiative of increasing sales tax. One county in particular is considering adding an extra half-cent to the sales tax to make up for lost state aid and add another revenue stream. This would more than adequately cover the cost of servicing 4-H.

Remember the right words A man out in the country wanted to buy a horse. He finally found one owned by an elderly farmer. After some bargaining, they finally reached a deal, and the buyer eagerly climbed into the saddle. “Now there’s one thing you should know,” the farmer said. “This horse only goes when you say, ‘Thank God.’ And it only stops when you say, ‘Amen.’ Remember that now.” “Sure, sure,” the man said. “Thank God!” he commanded, and the horse walked out of the corral. Later, the man wanted to find out how fast his new steed could run. So he said, “Thank God, thank God, thank God!” And

the horse took off at a gallop. Soon the rider noticed that the horse was headed toward the edge of a high cliff. In a panic, he realized that he couldn’t remember the word to make it stop. “Whoa! Stop! Cease! Desist!” he shouted desperately. But the horse raced forward. Just inches from the edge of the cliff, the man finally remembered the word he’d been racking his brain for. “Amen!” he shrieked, and the horse skidded to a stop, overlooking the steep drop into the ravine below. The man took a breath of relief. “Thank God.”
Abraham Lincoln, lawyer: An unusual strategy As a lawyer, Abraham Lincoln had a reputation for discouraging litigation that could be avoided through other means. One day, though, a client came to his office in an impassioned state, demand¬ing that Lincoln bring suit against a man who owed him $2.50, despite the fact that the fellow was already impoverished.

The JackJaw® Extractor Advantage at factory direct introductory pricing of $149 for fall 2012 More than 3,000 JackJaw® extractors are now in use in North America in construction, public works, tent rental, public utilities and farming industries. News of the JackJaw® T-post extractor is spreading quickly across North America and Australia as the easiest, safest and quickest method of fence post pulling. The powerful, patent pending jaw and lever mechanism allows you to pull the T-posts straight out of the ground without damage to the posts. The sturdy lever arm gives you a 9- to 1-mechanical advantage. The specially hardened jaws grip the T-post directly for quick and easy extraction. A 100 lb. push down on the handle generates a 900 lb. upward force and an 1800 lb. gripping force on the T-Post. Tilted posts? No problem! Just lean the JackJaw® extractor to align with the post. It never slips and completely eliminates back and shoulder strain from this ranch problem, that is common with other types of pullers. JackJaw® Model 203 T-post extractors are assembled in Dayton, Ohio from heavy gauge steel plate and tubing, to provide years of reliable service. The unit weighs only 18 lbs. and is plated with zinc and clear chromate for long lasting durability and corrosion resistance.
PVC material and requiring little or no maintenance. The Fleming Ram will pump a portion of the falling water uphill as high as ten times the “fall” or “drop” of water to the pump. Numerous variables, such as vertical fall vertical lift, size of pump, rate of ram pulsation, length of drive pipe and discharge pipe will affect the amount of water a Ram will pump. In addition to the efficient lightweight fleming Hydro-Rams which are designed to handle falls of water to the pump of up to 20 feet and lift the delivery water up to 100 feet, the Ram Co. also offers a high volume Hydro-Ram made of heavy cast aluminum with an input pipe diameter of 3 inches. This heavy-duty pump is designed to meet the needs of light irrigation and other applications where either larger volumes of water are required or extremely high lifts of water are needed. The only source of power necessary to run the pumps is the kinetic energy of falling water. Enough water must fall two feet or more through a pipe ten feet long or longer to the Hydro-Ram for it to operate. That’s all that is needed. Working on a ten-to-one ratio, the higher the fall, the greater the height the water can be pumped. The smaller plastic pumps will pump up to three gallons per minute. The 3-inch PVC pump will pump over 5 gallons per minute and the 3-inch metal pump will pump over 10 gallons per minute with proper installation and the right natural conditions.
The Fleming Hydro-Ram is a tireless, energy saving water pump. The Ram Pump, which is powered by falling water, has been in existence for almost 200 years. The RAM pumped water to households, farms, industries, railroads and towns until the advent of rural electrification and the electric pump. With today’s emphasis on alternative energy sources, the RAM pump has surfaced as a viable means to pump water when falling water is available. In 1978 Richard Fleming developed and marketed the Fleming Hydro-Ram, a lightweight, low friction pump made of

Solar electric water pumping cuts down on waste because it’s based on natural cycles. Your panels give the most pumping power on the sunniest days - when you need the most water. Solar power is clean. You never have to worry about polluting the groundwater or air with a gas powered pump. Solar-powered water systems take very little maintenance because they have only a few moving parts. Solar panels have a long life - usually 20 to 40 years, and solar water systems never run out of fuel as long as the sun is shining. Pump life and maintenance depend on the type of pump, usage, and water quality. Our pumps have been tested and improved to pump the most water for the least cost and with the least amount of trouble. Each pump carriers our name and we stand behind every one sold. Call for our brochure and video for a demonstration on how the pumps work and where to purchase pumps. For questions concerning operation or pricing, please write to: Ram Co. 512 Dillard Hill Rd., Lowesville, VA 22967 or phone 434277-8511 or 800-227-8511.

Optimize your animal’s health The commonly used procedures to medicate sick or sore animals on pasture often cause extreme stress to the animal as well as varying degrees of stress to the rest of the herd. Don’t chase the herd around to treat one, just treat it. The antibiotic will work faster and be more effective. The Medi-Dart syringe, a mobile one person treatment system, can help. Since 1991 we have many customers tell us the Medi-Dart medicating system has improved their cattle operation. Healthy animals grow. Keep the animals growing and working for you. That’s money in your pocket. The completely reuseable MediDart syringe gives an intramuscular or subcutaneous injection using air pressure, provided by a simple air pump. There is no cost per shot. The injection, up to 30cc, is completed in a few seconds (approx. 10cc per second). As the plunger finishes the injection it pushes out an ejector loop, around the needle, releasing the syringe from the animal. The syringe falls to the ground, that animal has been medicated.
What can the Fleming Hydro-Ram do for you?
Features include:
The Ram uses the force of falling water to pump water uphill...without using any additional source of energy and with only two moving parts!
• Carrying capacity: 27,000 lbs. total with 3,000 lbs. on hitch
Sound easy? It is.
• Lifting hitch: 3-point style, 12” to 48” lower tug height - Cat. III - adjustable top link
Medi-Dart offers three styles suitable for any operation. The extension Medi-Dart gives the producer a six foot or the new ten foot reach. The bow and arrow Medi-Dart uses a 30-pound recurve bow. The crossbow Medi-Dart uses is a specially designed crossbow that is adjustable. You may pick the distance of the shot by moving the bow on the gun stock. Because it is so handy, the Crossbow Medi-Dart is the favorite among cattle producers.
Ram pumps are in essence hydraulic engines designed to move water and are capable of supplying up to 4,000 gallons a day.
• Lift capacity: 15,000 lbs.

Improving tractor comfort and adding value with a new cab interior If your tractor is ten to fifteen years old, replacing the cab interior with a Fehr Cab Kit has three advantages. The first improvement is a quieter cab and improved sound control. With age, dirt and debris harden the foam liner so that sound waves are no longer absorbed, bouncing from cab wall to wall, damaging your hearing. The second improvement is a cleaner environment, and increased comfort. If you have to work in the cab all day with walls that are sagging, dirty and rattling, it creates a miserable atmosphere. Often mice nest in the insulation (in combine cabs, especially) and it is necessary to replace all the acoustical panels to get rid of the smell and debris. A new Fehr Cab Kit can improve your workspace immensely. The third advantage is that it can increase the resale value of your tractor by as much as $1,000 or more, by showing that someone has taken care of it.

Smokeless’ wood burners feature an overall efficiency of over 86% It’s all about safety, high efficiency, and enhancing our environment when it comes to using a wood burning furnace. Lamppa Manufacturing has developed two remarkably clean burning furnaces – the Kuuma VaporFire 100 and 200. Both can heat an average insulated home up to 3,200 square feet, and are designed to eliminate wood smoke. By diminshing creosote and air pollution at the same time, the Kuuma VaporFire furnace is truly a ‘green’ product. Benefits of VaporFire Furnaces: • Makes wood burning safe • Environmentally and operator friendly • Burns wood up to 99% smokeless • Less than 1 gram per hour of emissions produced for less environmental harm • The burn is controlled automatically by a simple knob • Its unique 24-volt computer eliminates the guesswork involved in safely and cleanly burning wood
One of the world’s leading testing labs have found that the VaporFire wood furnaces burn with virtually no smoke, and with an overall efficiency of more than 86% — an efficiency unheard of for wood furnaces of any kind. The furnace also scored an incredible 99.4 in combustion efficiency. New EPA guidelines, which were developed to reduce the emissions of particulates from new wood stoves, allow up to 7 grams per hour of particulates, which is a level that many wood stove manufacturers struggle

to meet. However, the latest testing shows that the Kuuma furnaces are a spectacular exception, with results ranging from 1.0 to 0.45 grams of particulates per hour, depending on conditions. “There’s no furnace in the world that does what this one does,” said Daryl Lamppa. “The Kuuma furnaces are so efficient,” says Daryl, “because of a patented design that truly gasifies the wood, ensuring the cleanest and most efficient burn possible. It gasifies the logs and burns them clean. It really does burn in a different way, using a natural draft.” For more information, contact Lamppa Manufacturing at 800-358-2049 or visit www.lamppakuuma.com. Videos and financing also available.

Unique heart formula saves countless lives Over 20 years ago Jim Strauss suffered a major heart attack and was told he would need bypass surgery or he would die. Jim was born into a family of herbalists stretching back to the 17th century. He learned these crafts during childhood, gathering medicinal herbs in the Austrian countryside with his grandmother. He was taught that tasting herbs could detect their medicinal value, but balance and proportion were the keys to producing formulas that were effective and immediate. Jim’s heart attack was not a fluke. He admits to having lived in the fast lane, ignoring the healthier lifestyle of his parents. He considers himself fortunate as nearly half of first time heart attacks end in death. Relying on knowledge acquired over the years, he refused the recommended surgery and instead put together an herbal formula which he immediately applied to himself with outstanding results.

• Pole sheds • Free stalls • Pavilion shelters • Machinery storage • Riding arenas • Solar barns The Lam-Ply Truss can span up to 72 feet and is used in many applications, from machinery storage to livestock facilities to horse arenas. It also has been developed with a gambrel-style and a mono-slope design. Starwood Rafters: About the company Founded in 1964 as a manufacturer of laminated arch rafters and beams, the company started out in Independence, Wisconsin as a three-man operation, with the original owners, Joseph Wozney and his two partners working nights after working their regular jobs. In the early 1970's, they developed the Lam-Ply Truss. It combines plywood, glulams, and dimensional lumber to make a truss that is stronger than a conventional web truss. This allows the builder to space them further apart to reduce erection time and labor costs. This design also limits bird nesting and improves ventilation in livestock facilities. Today, Corey Wozney and Steve Wozney, Joseph's sons, operate the company. Starwood Rafters is still in Independence, Wisconsin and now ships its products
In 3 months, his 2” arterial blockage was cleared. Since that time, Jim has shared his formula with thousands around the world who are living testimonials to its curative powers.
The Pat’s Easy Mover is tough enough to dig into the ground or scoop piles of dirt or other debris, while the dumping mechanism makes Pat’s Easy Mover ideally suited for scooping and evenly spreading rock on driveways, leveling dirt piles or spreading mulch. The system also includes a removable tailgate which makes it a transport box, well suited for carrying fencing materials, tools, sprayers, firewood or anything you need to carry with you to do a job or move from place to place. The tailgate is easily stored inside the bucket when not in use. The Pat’s Easy Mover can be easily removed from the trailer mover/toolbar, a useful tool in its own right, by removing two mounting pins. The trailer mover/ toolbar comes with a 2” receiver hitch as well as place to mount a gooseneck ball (ball not included).
One of many clients recently wrote: “I would like to tell you that after three months of using Strauss Heart Drops, I am a new man.

Pond aeration windmills: Why American Eagle beats the competition, reasons one through seven (out of 21) #1. American Eagle: the bellow is by Firestone, which can last 15 to 20 years under a heavy duty 2,000# truck. The competition: Diaphragms need replacement as early as two years.
the defective part–and it ships out FREE the same day. The competition: Diaphragm warranty policy states the part may need to be shipped from as far away as Canada to be evaluated– then determined if it is the customers fault. Any new part will be shipped at the customer’s expense for parts, plus shipping both ways. (This can take months. We know a Diaphragm customer still waiting over a year.) #7. American Eagle: Pump action is a huge 1 and 3/4” stroke some call intermittent. Most pumps are. The Eagles huge volume of air creates the most effective method of water circulation. More air, more circulation. The competition: Only 1/2” stroke, also intermittent. Less volume of air results in much less water circulation.

“LARRY LUGS” PATENT #7,625,050 BOLT-ON DRIVE LUGS “LARRY LUGS” - BOLT-ON DRIVE LUGS. Don’t throw away your track due to missing drive lugs. Larry Lugs are heavyduty lugs that bolt onto the track in place of rubber lugs that have broken, worn, or delaminated off the track, extending the life of the track. These revolutionary lugs will outlive the track itself. Ten minutes to install in the field or shop without removing the track. Simply grind off the old lug, place a template onto the track, and drill directly into the template and track to match up your bolt holes. Using an air impact, tighten the bolts into the lug. Larry Lugs can replace all the original lugs on a track. When the life of the track is finished, remove the Larry Lugs and reinstall on different tracks.
SPROCKETS INNER & OUTER SPROCKET SLEEVE TUBES. OEM sprocket drive sleeves are metal over metal causing friction against both and wearing both parts out every time. Bair’s “Outer” sprocket tube is a non-metal tube that is naturally slippery against the inner metal sleeve tube and will increase the life of the inner metal sleeve by not wearing it out. Save money and repair time upgrading to this new outer composite sleeve. BAIR CLAWS -ICE/SNOW TRACTION ENHANCERS. Sick and tired of spinning your tracks and wheels trying to plow snow? These little carbide cuties will save your sanity and installs in seconds. Each “claw” is removable and reusable as needed. Simply install as many as the operator requires for the terrain the machine is in. They can be installed on a variety of machines: Skid loaders, ATVs, tractors, rubber tracked-type machines, track snow blowers, and UTVs.

#2. American Eagle: Bellow most volume of air; 3 to 6 cfm with a 10 – 15 mph wind–even more at 15 – 27 mph wind. The competition: Diaphragms 1 to 3 cfm–maximum. #3. American Eagle: High volume is more important than high pressure. American Eagle puts out only 8 to 9 psi but can supply up to six diffusers. The competition: Diaphragm more pressure, but can only supply a maximum of two diffusers. #4. American Eagle: 8 to 9 psi will supply one diffuser 14 to 16 feet. The competition: Diaphragms will pump deeper but with very little volume of air. The deeper you pump, the less volume.
FRONT/REAR IDLER & BOGIE WHEELS FRONT/REAR IDLER & BOGIE WHEELS. These heavy duty aluminum alloy wheels have been made to withstand the daily use of your multi-terrain loader with little wear on the wheel itself compared to the original plastic/rubber

#5. American Eagle: Bellow warranty, five years. The competition: Diaphragm warranty–ZERO!
