Win an iPad or Visa Gift Card Every once in a while, a weather-related event is so widespread, so devastating, that it has the potential to effect people hundreds of thousands of miles from where it occurred. This summer's drought has the potential to be such an event. In an attempt to raise awareness about the severity of the situation, and the importance of strong farm policy in a time like this, the National Crop Insurance Services (NCIS) has taken to Facebook and Twitter to host a photo contest, featuring real drought photos. The group has asked farmers and ranchers from across the country to submit photos portraying the severity of the consequences these unpredictable weather conditions can impose on our nation’s farm families.

»what’s new Featherlite launches aluminum fuel trailer to meet growing demand of changing farmer
Equipment Technologies unveils 2013 Apache sprayers and all-new Plus II Package
Best known in the farming industry for their livestock trailers, Featherlite has launched a new fuel trailer that aims to help make farming operations run more efficiently, especially as farming continues to evolve. The new Model 1570 is a compact trailer that can be easily transported to fields to fuel and service equipment on site, saving time and expenses.
Equipment Technologies (ET) recently announced the rollout of their 2013 line of Apache sprayers and the new Plus II Package.
According to the USDA’s ‘The Changing Organization of U.S. Farming’ report published in December 2011, farm production has shifted to larger farms, while the number of smaller, commercial farms has declined. “This often means farmers are farming a larger number of acres and also often farming further away from home,” Randy Lewis, Featherlite national sales manager, said. This sentiment is backed by Central Iowa Featherlite Trailer Sales Owner Brian Gonder. “Today’s farmer is a mobile farmer,” Gonder said. “Not that many years ago, people farmed within a few miles of their home. Today it’s not uncommon to farm many miles away.” In fact, he has local customers near their Featherlite dealership in Bondurant, Iowa, that even farm as far away as South Dakota and Minnesota.
“For over 15 years, the Apache self-propelled sprayer has been known for its affordability, reliability and ability to take on any terrain. We see our 2013 model year sprayers as a culmination of our continuous efforts to listen to our customer’s application needs and to improve our mechanical drive system with the renewed focus of Power to the Ground Technology (“PTG”). PTG delivers 98% of the engine’s horsepower to the wheels of our sprayer, no matter which model a customer owns. We continue to provide the highest quality product at the most competitive price giving our loyal customers the highest R.O.I. possible,” said Equipment Technologies CEO Matt Hays.
“What we feel separates Featherlite from other similar models out in the market is our aluminum construction,” Lewis said. “They are lighter, easier to tow, more durable and over the long haul, we feel a wiser investment.”

Michelin joins Titan as tire options. Growers can now choose which brand of tire is added to their Apache sprayer, either Michelin or Titan tires.
Introducing the all-new Plus II Package: The Apache Plus returns with a vengeance. New for 2013, the Plus II Package results in maximum efficiency and power. Like its predecessor, the Plus II is for growers who want the highest horsepower available. Now, growers can choose to get a 2013 AS1020 or AS1220 with a staggering 275 hp Cummins engine and a heavier duty differential from JCB to accommodate the increase in power to the ground. The difference just isn’t under the hood. All Plus II sprayers come standard with a 50” crop clearance and 18” drop box all gear final drive. The Plus II stands out among the other Apache sprayers with standard black wheels and hood stripes. ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
New Euro/Global to John Deere 600/700 Adapter from Worksaver
––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
Standard design enhancements for all 2013 Apache models include: •
Featherlite’s Model 1570 is available with two fuel tank sizes, 550 or 760 gallons, with customization available to accommodate larger sizes as well. It also includes a gasoline powered transfer pump, 25 foot long retractable hose reel with fuel nozzle, fuel filter, drain plug and enclosed compartment with lockable doors. An option for a rear compartment with an air compressor/generator or with just additional space for tools and parts is also available.
•
Worksaver, Inc. offers a new adapter which allows Euro/ Global loaders to interface with attachments designed for John Deere 600/700 series quick attach system. This adapter is engineered to prepare loaders to accept John Deere 600/700 buckets and attachments. The Euro/Global interface is featured on one side while the John Deere 600/700 Series interface is on the other. The adapter features an all welded design and maximum capacity of 5,000 lbs.
In Gonder’s business, he estimates that 80 to 85 percent of his customers grow crops and raise livestock both. “It was a natural fit with our existing livestock trailers to expand our product line to meet this growing demand,” Lewis said. “This trailer saves farmers from having to leave the field to fuel up. Instead they can fuel their equipment right in the field.” In addition to the agricultural uses, there are several other commercial applications as well, including construction equipment on work sites or in Gonder’s case, he has sold two units to a helicopter crop spraying business.

•

Mahindra 8560 Model rolls out with mCRD technology in October Mahindra USA introduces its interim-Tier IV, for above 75 HP, emission compliant mCRD engine. It will be available beginning November 2012, initially on its 8560 2WD, 8560 4WD and 8560 4WD shuttle cab tractor. The Mahindra Common Rail Diesel (mCRD) engine is an innovative, Ecofriendly and fuel efficient high performance engine that reduces greenhouse gas emissions by over 360 tons per year.
New customizable options for all 2013 Apache models include: •
Hydraulic-raising eductor. Similar to the step ladder cab entrance, all 2013 eductors will lift up and lock into position hydraulically when the parking brake is disengaged.
•
ET Custom Booms and Pommier available. Growers can now customize their factory installed booms from 7 different lengths: ET Custom Booms at straight 80’,

what’s new« visible engine smoke. Mahindra’s interim-Tier IV compliant mCRD features include: •
high pressure fuel injection engine greatly reducing visible engine smoke,
•
multiple injection points for fuel efficiency with greener emissions including a reduction in NOx and Particulate Matter (PM),
•
diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) after treatment system that does not require regeneration, and
•
high-efficiency positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) technology to capture and clean gases from the combustion chamber before releasing them into the environment.
“Our multi-million dollar investment in this unique mCRD technology is another example of Mahindra’s unwavering commitment to growing its presence in the North American farm equipment industry,” said Cleo Franklin, Vice President, Marketing and Strategic Planning, Mahindra USA. “This interim-Tier IV compliant engine has been in testing for years at Mahindra’s EPA-certified facility and is ready to go to market with the Mahindra performance and reliability our customers expect at a very competitive price.”
achieve optimum seed and fertilizer placement. Independent shank technology, mechanical linkage and seed furrow selection. Unlike traditional parallel link drills, the ML series does not rely on hydraulics to maintain a constant seeding depth, packing pressure or shank trip force. Frame height is adjustable up or down to increase or decrease packing pressure, which allows operators to pass through soft areas and over harder, knolls while maintaining consistent and precise seeding capabilities. Versatile Director of Marketing Adam Reid, says, “Versatile entered the precision seeding and tillage market last year with products that are recognized for simplicity and efficiency. A team of engineers has been working on this new technology and we are extremely impressed with the results. The ML Series drill is able to maintain seeding depth, packing pressure and shank tip force without hydraulic cylinders on each shank, meaning that the tractor requirement, in both horsepower and hydraulic, is less than comparable existing parallel link drills. Combined with in-cab seed furrow selection, the ML Series drill is an exciting new piece of precision seeding technology.”
––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
Just 18 months after entering the precision seeding and tillage market, Versatile introduced a new air drill this summer with exciting new technology. The ML Series air drill debuted with the ML930 and ML950 models to enhance the lineup of Versatile precision seeding equipment.
Available in 3- and 5-section configurations from 40’ to 70’, the ML Series air drill features ALIVE technology: Accurate seed placement with Level, Independent openers for uncompromised Vertical Emergence of crops. The ALIVE technology incorporates three critical features to

Nutri-Placer 920 latest addition to Case IH fertilizer applicator line The latest addition to the Case IH Nutri-Placer line, the Nutri-Placer 920, is designed for productivity and up-time while placing nutrients in the root zone to maximize return on investment.
All-New Frame Design and Strength
Mahindra’s Tier IV compliance product roll out will continue with a full line of mCRD tractors available in 2013.
New Versatile air drill with new ALIVE technology
Reid adds that the combine is a welcome addition to the Versatile product line, sharing the hallmarks of reliability, durability and ease of service and maintenance. “The RT490 is simple and convenient to operate and maintain. The number of lubrication points and mechanical drives that need adjustment is minimized and are easily accessible.
“We are excited to offer this commercial-quality applicator for producers who want increased productivity and a value-added fertilizer application,” says Dave Long, Case IH Marketing and Sales Manager for pull-type fertilizer applicators.
The diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC), unique to the Mahindra mCRD engine, provides a lower cost, low maintenance solution to meet the Tier IV emission standards. Due to its reduced system complexity, the DOC eliminates the diesel particulate filter resulting in no back pressure monitor and filter cleaning for greater protection.
Versatile’s new air drill and rotary combine
including more than 2000 acres in fields in Canada and the United States. Nearly every crop grown in North America has been tested including cereal crops, corn, pulse crops and rice. The productivity was excellent and the reliability of these combines was second to none.”
Versatile’s new rotary combine Versatile launched a new rotary combine at Canada’s Farm Progress Show in June. The Versatile RT490 combine is the first new combine introduced in North America in more than a decade and will further compliment the Versatile line of equipment. The threshing system on the Versatile RT490 is unique, featuring a rotating concave rotary system. A 360° concave counter rotates to the rotor for increased capacity, better productivity and reduced loss. This concave ensures that the entire thresher and separator area is utilized. A 4-stage feeder house with a unique inclined chamber replaces the traditional feeder housing with four feeding beaters, providing a considerable increase in processing stability and combine productivity by allowing a uniform layer of material to enter the rotor. The 340 bu. grain tank features standard hopper extensions that are controlled from the cab for transportation or storage.
The Nutri Placer 920 is all new from front to back. It features a front mounted coulter bar with five section flex and active hydraulic down pressure to maintain uniform depth and accurate fertilizer placement over a wide range of field conditions. Utilizing double tubes with fore and aft bracing provides the frame strength that allows for longer implement life and greater stress relief. The heavy-duty, welded-frame design delivers large-acre productivity, even in the toughest field conditions. Larger than previous models, the Nutri-Placer 920 offers a choice of either a 1,650-gallon or 2,050-gallon tank, so producers can work longer before filling up. The all-new tank chassis centers the tank over the axle for consistent positive tongue weight whether the tank is loaded or empty. Additionally, a low center of gravity is created, offering more stability as producers go over bumps and hills in the field. The Nutri-Placer 920 also offers overall improved transportability with an innovative X-Wing frame design that folds for narrow transportation width and low transportation height, so it can be easily transported when the closest field is a few miles away.
continued...
Like all Versatile products, the new combine is powered by Cummins. The RT490 features a 490 horsepower Cummins QSX 11.9L engine that meets interim Tier 4 emissions standards. Adam Reid, Versatile Director of Marketing, says this Class VIII combine has been thoroughly tested in a variety of crops and harvesting conditions, both in North America and around the world. “This combine has been through significant testing

»what’s new Unmatched Agronomic Features Equipped with spring-loaded, 20-inch coulters, the NutriPlacer 920 delivers fertilizer into the root zone with your choice of a straight-stream injector or a liquid knife. This provides increased nutrient availability and minimizes residue and soil disturbance. Additional benefits include reduced horsepower requirements, a wider operating window and faster operating speeds. As the largest liquid fertilizer applicator in the lineup, with up to 25 coulters in a 60-foot frame size, the Nutri-Placer 920 matches a 24-row planter. The outer wings can also be folded for conversion to a 17 coulter applicator to match a 16-row planter. The Nutri Placer 920 utilizes a hydraulic driven centrifugal pump, providing a wide range of rate control and capacity. “The Nutri-Placer 920 is designed for the demands of largeacre productivity and has features that accurately place nutrients in the root zone to maximize return on investment” says Long. The Case IH Nutri-Placer 920 will be sold through trained and certified application equipment distributors and dealers. ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
Case announces CVT option for Farmall B Series Tractors Case IH Farmall® compact tractors now offer an easy-to-use, continuously variable transmission (CVT) option for the new model Farmall 40B CVT, 45B CVT and 50B CVT Class 3 cab tractors. A CVT option allows Case IH Farmall customers to get more done in less time while maximizing fuel efficiency and managing operating costs. Because CVT automatically selects the best gear ratio for the desired speed, the operator no longer has to select or shift gears. “It eliminates the need for clutching or shifting, which means operators may prefer a Farmall with CVT to their car, says Greg Lucey, Case IH Farmall Marketing Manager. “In fact, pulling a load with a CVT-equipped Farmall is easier than driving a pickup with an automatic transmission.”
While CVT is common in high-horsepower tractors, it is a technology not commonly found in compact tractors. “As a full-line equipment company that provides trusted support to its customers, Case IH is able to utilize technology developed for larger tractors and integrate it into the Farmall line,” Lucey explains. “When Farmall tractors were introduced in 1923, they featured a revolutionary narrow design and higher ground clearance – and nearly 90 years later, they continue to lead the industry in innovation.” Known for rugged versatility, proven performance and functional design, and powered by Tier 3-compliant diesel engines with 40, 45 and 50 engine horsepower, the new line-up of Case IH Farmall B CVT tractors are the ultimate workhorses. “Easily equipped with a large variety of wellmatched implements, these Farmall CVT tractors provide the right equipment for the right job – whether you’re hauling, mowing, loading, towing or blowing,” says Lucey. ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
Redesigned cab in Case IH 2013 Axial Flow combines Case IH proudly unveils new features on its legendary AxialFlow® combines for 2013, including a redesigned cab and a new folding auger with an industry-exclusive pivoting spout option. “Case IH Axial-Flow combines continue to set the industry benchmark for uptime, grain quality and grain savings, regardless of the crop or field size,” says Nate Weinkauf, Case IH Combine Marketing Manager. “Now, Axial-Flow combines are designed to help producers simplify harvest even further through the ultimate operator environment, added innovation and harvest control. Every design innovation and engineering improvement puts these machines another step ahead.”

In addition, all models use the state-of-the-art AFS Pro 700 display for yield monitoring and machine and guidance control in the cab. The AFS Pro 700 is compatible with all Case IH equipment, so it can easily be transferred to your tractor cab in the spring for planter control and later to your sprayer to control your application maps. Unload Simplified To make on-the-go unload more comfortable and safer as header widths continue to grow, Case IH has added new options to its auger offerings. In addition to the two fixed auger options that extend up to 28 feet, 9 inches, two folding auger options are now available: a 28-foot-9-inch auger that folds at a 90-degree angle and a 34-foot auger that folds at a 135-degree angle.
The Ultimate Operator Environment
In addition, operators can now control a pivoting grain spout with the Multifunction Propulsion Handle, adjusting the flow of grain up to 3 feet without changing the speed of the grain cart or combine. In combination with the independent crossauger control launched last year, producers will have more flexibility during the challenging grain cart fill process.
Guided by input from producers and custom operators, Case IH has taken the largest and quietest cab in the industry for large-model combines and made it even better.
“Case IH Axial-Flow combine designs are driven by suggestions from our customers and designed to keep operators in the field working efficiently,” says Weinkauf.
“Our new, redesigned Case IH cab has advanced even further to set the industry standard in convenience, comfort and operator ergonomics for your office in the field,” says Weinkauf. “Best of all, this new cab will be part of all models of Axial-Flow combines.”
In addition, optional powered grain tank covers are controlled from the cab so the operator can concentrate on harvesting.
Features of the new cab include a slim Multifunction Propulsion Handle, redesigned with controls within a finger’s reach. It contains an upgraded right-hand console with simple ergonomic controls and slide rail that allows for adjustment of the display, placement of a cup-holder and office tools. Multiple convenient storage locations have been added featuring brushed-chrome styling. Operators can stay tuned in and connected on the go with an iPod plug-in, and a training seat opens to a convenient, portable electric refrigerator to keep food and drinks cool and handy. Leg and foot room has been added due to increased seat travel space. In addition, a red leather luxury cab seat option is available for comfort during long harvest days and nights. Unlike standard transmissions, which have a distinct number of gear ratios, a CVT has an infinite number of gear ratios, which allows the engine to always run at its most efficient speed – regardless of ground speed. And unlike hydrostatic transmissions that depend on speed for higher torque, a CVT is more efficient when pulling a load.
Case IH is helping farmers be ready for whatever harvest may bring now and in the seasons to come.”
“We understand the long hours that producers spend in the combine. Our goal was to offer every convenience of an efficient, comfortable working office and make it available in every Axial-Flow model,” says Weinkauf. “By introducing more powerful, more intuitive, and more efficient combines,

Efficient Power, Efficient Operation From the feeding system to the patented Case IH AFX rotor with its concentric rotor cage design, Axial-Flow combines continue to create smooth crop flow, improving throughput and putting more high-quality grain in the tank. As part of the Case IH Efficient Power family, Case IH AxialFlow 30 Series models feature added horsepower to power through tough conditions with fuel-efficient Case IH FPT Tier 4 SCR engines. Across the Case IH lineup, the same proven power plants deliver an average 10 percent efficiency advantage over comparable Tier 3 models. “Case IH has been continuously improving the Axial-Flow AFX rotor, always setting the trend as a leader in harvesting,” says Weinkauf. “Overall, the simple and reliable Axial-Flow design, with fewer moving parts, helps producers stay in the field to achieve better yields.”

Can I place the tubing in the sand below the concrete? Yes and no! There are some advantages to placing the tubing in sand below the concrete. Just be careful that you don’t get the tubing too deep in the sand. We had one job where the tubing was at the bottom of 15’’ of sand. It did not work well, partly because it was off peak electric and 15’’ of sand gets too dry and doesn't conduct heat well. Some contractors prefer a couple inches of sand below the concrete to place the tubing in – this allows the troweling of the concrete to be more manageable. The sand also protects the tubing if there is a major crack/shift in the concrete.
What if the concrete cracks? The normal cracks that appear in all concrete are not really a threat. I have heard of a couple shifting cracks that have pinched off a loop over the years; however, this is an extremely rare occurrence. This type of shifting crack is from poor compaction of the base. On most jobs, if you were to lose one loop from a crack, the other loops will carry the load.
What type of tubing is used in the concrete? You can use a Pex-Al-Pex or a Pex tubing. Let’s look at the differences between the two options. (FYI: the word Pex in both types of tubing is an abbreviation for cross linked poly-ethylene.) Pex-Al-Pex or Pex-Aluminum-Pex features: (This style of tubing has an aluminum sleeve centered between two layers of Pex.) • 100% oxygen barrier (the aluminum sleeve). • The oxygen barrier is protected (centered between the layers of Pex). • Better heat transfer because of the aluminum sleeve. • Ratings: European quality 145 PSI at 203 degrees or Asian quality 125 PSI at 180 degrees. • Ease of lay out. It bends like soft copper and stays where you put it. • Less fasteners are needed. • All advantages of both plastic and metal tubing. • The best coefficient of linear thermal expansion. In other words it does not try to grow very much in length when you start running warm fluid through it. • Kinked tubing - if severe, replace roll or splice. • Price: middle of the road. Pex with an oxygen barrier features:
• •
• •
98% oxygen barrier. The barrier is usually located on the outside of the tubing. The oxygen barrier is NOT protected from sun, water and abrasion. Ratings: 100 PSI at 180 degrees. Ease of layout – Pex has a memory; it is always trying to recoil itself.
• • •
•
Additional fasteners needed. Coefficient of linear thermal expansion is poor compared to Pex-Al-Pex. Kinked tubing – depends on the brand of Pex. Some you need to replace the roll or splice, others you heat up to a certain temperature and it will go back to its original form. Price: All over the place, many highs and lows. (Be careful – some Pex on the market has zero oxygen barrier!)

What is an oxygen barrier? An oxygen barrier prevents oxygen from penetrating through the wall of the plastic tubing and entering into the boiler solution. And yes, oxygen can penetrate the wall even with a pressurized boiler system. Boilers are designed to be closed and sealed off from oxygen. If they are not, rust and sludge can start to build up in the boiler system.

Let’s take a look at why: • With hydronic tubing you can hook up to multiple heat sources; natural gas, L.P. gas, fuel oil, ground source, electric boilers, bio-mass burners, wood boilers, corn boilers, solar, etc. • With electric mats you are committed to the electric company. • The track record related to longevity and performance of tubing in concrete is far better than electric mats.

What size tubing is used? The two most common sizes are ½’’ and 5/8’’. Many times this decision comes down to someone’s opinion. Most people assume 5/8’’ does a lot better job compared to ½’’. Some installers prefer to use ½’’ and others 5/8’’. There are times when the layout of trench drains and manifold locations force the designer into the 5/8’’ tubing. With 5/8’’ you can go up to 450 foot loops, ½’’ is 330 foot loops maximum. There is very little difference between ½’’ and 5/8’’ tubing. In fact, it is common to install both sizes using the same on center spacing. _______________________________________

MAINTENANCE HOW-TO: Hay Equipment
Haying equipment end-of-season inspection and maintenance checklists After a long summer in the hayfield, it’s tempting to simply back haying equipment into the shed for the winter without giving it a second thought. However, conducting a thorough end-of-season inspection and writing down maintenance needs while they are still top of mind can be time well spent. That’s the advice of Dean Morrell, product marketing manager for Hesston by Massey Ferguson® hay products and 35-year-veteran of the quality hay business. “A full end-of-season visual inspection helps ensure you’re well prepared to complete needed repair and maintenance projects during winter downtime,” says Morrell. “Months down the road it can be hard to remember that noise you wanted to check out before next season. By writing it down, you have a big head start on maintenance that will leave your equipment in top condition, ready for another productive season.” Good machine care, with proper maintenance and repair not only helps ensure proper operation and long life, it helps maintain resale value, Morrell points out. A clean machine simplifies fall maintenance and inspection. It also helps minimize rust which can start where dirt and moisture collect on a machine. Begin with removing dirt, dust and hay debris by sweeping the machine or using highpressure air or a power washer. While balers often carry the most dirt and hay material, it’s best to use air when cleaning balers because of their many moving parts and opportunities to create rust. High-pressure washing is best for cleaning mower or conditioner cutter bars. Rakes as well as self-propelled and pull-type windrowers can be pressure-washed to remove dirt, dust and hay debris.
A few simple steps before storing hay equipment for the winter are keys to machine performance and long life. Baler checklist •
Sweep or use air pressure to remove dirt, dust and hay debris. Aggressive washing should be avoided to reduce the opportunity for rust.
Although some maintenance tasks can be deferred until winter, at a minimum, grease machines and change oil and filters before parking. Balers and self-propelled windrowers typically require the most care before going into winter storage. Rakes generally require minimal maintenance, but it’s still important to give them the attention they need before storing for the winter, says Morrell. He offers these “quick tips” for end-of-season maintenance and reminds producers to follow the operator’s manual and manufacturer’s recommendations.
•
Grease all grease zerks on wear points.
•
Change hydraulic-system filters.
•
After changing hydraulic filters, run the machine to purge air from the system and reduce the opportunity for condensation to form during the winter.
•
Check gearbox fluid levels and change as recommended in the operator’s manual.
•
Replace broken pickup tines.
Windrower checklist
•
Oil chains before placing in storage.
•
On round balers, inspect belts for checking and other wear. Loosen belt tensioners so they are not sitting under full tension through the winter.
•
Begin your inspection at the header, looking for wear and components which should be replaced.
•
For sickle-bar headers, replace cutter bar teeth and ledger plates. Replace the guards once yearly when storing machines or add this to your list for completion during winter.
Rake checklist •
Clean the rake to remove dirt, dust and hay debris.
•
On disk mowers, replace knives and rotate or replace worn turtles covering the knives.
•
Add grease at all grease points.
•
Grease all lift-system wear points.
•
Replace pickup teeth as needed.
•
For self-propelled machines, be sure to change engine oil and filters.
•
•
Replace or blow out all air filters, including the cab air filter.
Conduct a thorough walk-around inspection to identify other service and maintenance needs, including rotating the basket and raking wheels to identify worn bearings.
•
Check all belts for checking and signs of wear. Inspect tires for wear that might require tire replacement. Inflate to the required air pressure.
•
Check and repack wheel bearings annually. Inspect tires for wear and weather checking; inflate to the correct pressure.
•
Check and blow dirt and debris from radiators. On machines with “smart” reversing fans such as the V-Cool™ system found on Hesston WR Series self-propelled windrowers, radiator screens already should be clean and free of dirt and hay.

Making False Accusations Easier To Handle Most of us have been the object of false accusations one time or another during our lives. Few deeds hurt more than being accused of something we didn’t do or having our reputation trashed unfairly. False accusations don’t have to wound us to our core. Indeed, they can provide opportunities to learn about ourselves, to build character, and to model respectable behavior for others to emulate. False accusations occur regularly in the workplace, in school, within extended families and many social groups. In the workplace false accusations often involve rumor mongering among fellow employees, rivals seeking to discredit a boss or coworker, or outright mobbing designed to destroy the reputation of an employee and perhaps to get that person to leave the employment setting. When false accusations take the form of mobbing or bullying in the workplace, such actions are illegal in most European countries. Many U.S. jurisdictions and Canadian provinces have enacted antimobbing or anti-bullying statutes. Wrongful dismissal suits are becoming commonplace when false accusations in the employment setting lead to job termination. I have observed false accusations among farm people. One or more prospective farm renters started a campaign of false rumors about the current lessee of a desirable farm property by raising questions about the lessee’s capacity to pay his bills so that the widow who owned the land might lease it to another renter. Bullying by children has been identified as a factor contributing to violence by school November 2012
kids. Often the bullying begins with the propagation of falsehoods by peers. Parents and caretakers should be particularly attuned to kids’ passing along falsehoods about another child. Rumor mongering should not be considered an acceptable part of the development of social competence by children as they approach teenage or when they are adolescents. Most schools and many other settings that involve supervision of children have adopted anti-bullying policies. Making false accusations is as wrong for children as for adults. Children are more vulnerable because they usually lack the skills to deal with false rumors. How can we deal with false accusations? False accusations are difficult to defend against. If we confront the persons we think are spreading the falsehoods, they usually deny their actions. Most persons are unfazed by confrontations meant to cause them to cease their false accusations. Often they attack even more vehemently and secretively.
We can use the experience of false accusations to improve ourselves. We can conduct soul-searching to figure out our core beliefs and motivations. Prayer and meditation can help us figure out better ways to behave positively. We still have the capacity to control our attitude even when we are being attacked unfairly. We choose whether or not to retaliate. We choose to behave with character. We choose to exhibit what we want others to see in our actions. Anger does little to heal us. Anger raises our blood pressure. It compromises our immune system. It can lead to long term hatred and foment violence. It is healthier to get our feelings of revenge out by talking about them with people whom we trust as supporters. But we should be careful to not talk about the accusations to others who will repeat them.
There are occasions when it is appropriate to take formal actions to curtail a pattern of unfair attacks. Sometimes we can take a false accusation to a higher authority, such as a school principal or a Board of Directors. When the false accusation has become a public report, it might be appropriate to issue a public statement that denies the falsehood and replaces it with the truth as we know it. Filing legal actions such as a libel suit or wrongful dismissal suit might be appropriate if we can afford the time and cost. False accusations hurt only if we let them. If we know we are better than the falsehoods being propagated and behave with positive dignity we find peace within ourselves.
Participating in community events and volunteer work build our image of remaining confident and contributive.
The best defense is to not act defensive. To continue to behave positively and with dignity ultimately prevails.
RANGER Diesel
While we often fear that others will believe the false accusations, others nearly always choose to believe what they observe. Our actions speak loudly. Remaining unfazed ourselves and moving along to do our best usually invalidate the false accusations and the accusers as well.

A n oth e r To o l in th e FINE ArT of MoNEY MANAgEMENT Make-It-Yourself Pumpkin Seed Snacks!
The
Those expensive bags of toasted pumpkin seed snacks are so easy to make for yourself at home. They cost a lot of money and you truly can do it - it’s simple. Here’s how:
‘Tally’Sheet...
As we prepare to celebrate the coming thanksgiving and christmas holiday seasons, this old saying keeps running through my mind: “Let us be Grateful and Thankful for what we have today for none of us knows what tomorrow may bring!”
I
like the idea of a ‘tally sheet’, used by ranchers here on the plains for many years to add up expenses and income for the year. But, my ‘tally’ is of things and people to be grateful for in my life, and to teach my children and others that I come into contact with to ‘count the blessings’ you have and enjoy. Don’t spend time concentrating on the ‘have’s’ that abound in your life and on the “I wish I had’s” – especially in these tough economic times. As this year’s meager harvest draws to a close (or with a thump), we all survived another year. The crops were not what most of us had hoped for, but we take what we can get, and salvage anything that managed to grow in the awful depths of the drought in the summer just past. The deer and wild turkeys got all of my tomatoes, but we did manage to save the pumpkins and squash, with enough to even share with family and friends. I had planted the pumpkins for a friend of mine’s little pre-schoolers, and discovered that if I watered the garden overnight, the deer kept out! We have enough pumpkins for the kids and then some. I am so very grateful. My old-fashioned blue Hubbard squash were attacked by the deer, but we still have
some – more than enough for family and friends, and that is a blessing for sure. I love the early morning hours – especially the sunrise, and this morning the sun was a bright red orb on the edge of the sky. I’d never seen a red sun before. It was absolutely gorgeous when I went to the chicken house to give the biddies their morning drink of water. I am grateful for the ability to see and enjoy the beauty of nature here in the country. When I walked back toward the house, a flock of Canadian geese was honking and calling to one another as they passed by on their journey south for the winter. The deer and their babies were grazing in the field to the west of the house, and since they are used to me tromping around, they just look up as I walk to the garden. The bittersweet vine I have planted in the yard has some berries on it. Wreath decorating possibilities? Perhaps, if I can keep the kittens from playing with them... On my walk this afternoon, I caught sight of some bright yellow and red leaves already turned on the edge of a Badland ravine, and observed a coyote loping along. It was just out, looking around. My Cup runneth over! I am grateful to be able to add to my ‘tally sheet’ that we have the freedom to worship as we please, and: • I am thankful for those who came before us who gave us the freedom to vote without interference in our local and national elections; • I am also grateful for the generosity of my neighbors who share their chubbycheeked babies, just learning to smile and walk so I can play with them; • I am grateful for the toddlers, pre-schoolers and little ones just learning to read, draw and explore their worlds, sharing their fun of learning with me. I learn as much as they do; • I am grateful for the elders who taught me so much about ‘using what I have’ over the years, and sharing their wisdom so freely. This newsletter would not exist without their help and guidance! • For family and friends – even those I haven’t yet met – I am grateful beyond belief. May November be an amazing month for you and your family.

• Cut out the top of a fresh pumpkin and scoop out the seeds and strings into a bowl of water. Wash the seeds and discard the strings and fiber (this goes in my chicken bucket, but could also be put in the compost pile). • Drain the washed seeds and put back into a bucket or bowl and pour one quart of water mixed with one cup of salt over the seeds, or make enough solution to cover the seeds you have. Let stand overnight. • The next day, drain off the salt water and oil a jelly roll pan or a cookie sheet with sides. Pour in the soaked seeds and put in the oven at 250° and bake them until the seeds are the color of light brown toast. (I give them a stir every once in a while.) • Cool and enjoy; the entire seed is edible, so no shells to pick up. I take the cleaned out pumpkin, fill it with a piece of floral foam, soak the foam and arrange fresh flowers in it for a table decoration. If you are afraid of leakage, insert a small vase in the pumpkin and fill it with flowers. Or, I split the pumpkin, put it on a cookie sheet with sides and a little water and bake split side down in the oven until it’s very soft. I then flip the halves over, scoop out the flesh and bake fresh pumpkin pie, cookies or cake. The cooked pumpkin can be frozen in bags for use over the winter – instead of buying the canned stuff! ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
Sweet Summer In winter, our homes are closed to the outside air, and sometimes the indoor air can get a little stale. To remedy that problem, I make a homemade simmer for almost no out of pocket money, and I also share this with family and friends as gifts for Christmas, or ‘just because’. I dry orange, lemon and apple peelings during the year on a cookie sheet lined with a paper towel. It sits on top of the refrigerator where it’s nice and warm and the stuff dries quite well. To make a batch, you would need about 1-1/2 cups each of the dried peelings and mix that with the following: • 1 Tablespoon of WHOLE allspice • 3 Tablespoons of WHOLE cloves • 2 small cinnamon sticks, broken into smaller pieces (I use the hammer on these) • Several STAR ANISE (if you have them, but if not, it still smells really good without) Break up the dried peelings into smaller pieces, mix with the spices and store in a glass jar until needed. To use: put a spoonful or two in a pan on the stove and heat to scent the air, or use one of those electric ‘simmer pots’ that can be purchased almost anywhere. A small canning jar filled with this mix, tied with a big red bow makes a wonderful last minute gift for teachers, your fellow co-workers, or friends you just want to remember at a special time. (I take a quart jar of this mix to the Black Hills Stock Show every year and have a simmer pot going in my booth when we are open. People follow their noses to the scent and can’t believe something so simple can smell so good. And, I actually use year-old, or older spices for all this. It’s a good way to clean out the cupboard!)

A Foam Mattress For The Pooch A reader sent in a hint about her “make-it-myself” doggie beds. She has several elderly dogs since she does rescue work. (May God Bless her for this!) Dog beds are expensive, but she had gone to a yard sale and found a foam mattress topper for $10 and proceeded to cut it into chunks to fit into dog beds. She says they work quite well, keeping the dogs comfortable, and after two years’ time are still in very good condition. She said that the cost of four ‘new’ dog beds would have been over $200, so she’s saved a good amount of money and her furry friends are sleeping like kings! ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
Juice Lid Ornaments A reader reminded me that kids need to “Do things with their hands – besides play video games!” She suggested that parents could have the kids make inexpensive Christmas ornaments for grandparents with nothing more than the lids from the frozen juice you prepare for breakfast, a nail, and some odds and ends. Her instructions: • Make a star, Christmas ball or any other pattern you choose to fit the inside of the lid from a piece of paper, and tape it to the lid. Using an old breadboard or piece of scrap board, a nail and a small tack hammer, let the kids poke holes around the pattern using the nail and hammer. • Glue a piece of felt or fabric on the back of the lid to prevent scratches, and then let the kids decorate the edge of the lid with lace, left-over chunks of fat yarn, little colored buttons, odds and ends of rick-rack from Grandma’s sewing basket, twisted pieces of colored paper – anything that the kids can dream up. • Use the nail to poke a hole at the top of the ornament to put a piece of yarn, ribbon or twine through to make a hanger, and you’re finished! ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
Wallpaper The Drawers? A reader writes: My kitchen drawers were showing their years, and since I can’t afford to replace the kitchen, I needed some way to spruce things up. My daughter had recently put some scrubbable wallpaper behind her cookstove and had some scraps left – so I took the ‘bits and pieces’ home and lined the inside of my drawers with them. It sure does make them look better – and now they are easier to clean! ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
It’s No Yolk! A reader writes: I make homemade angel food cakes, but of course there are the yolks to deal with for another day. I put them all in a quart canning jar and put a little water over the top before placing in the refrigerator for another use. The yolks do not go bad this way, and I can use them in a sponge cake in a couple of days, thus not wasting the rest of the egg. ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
Apples To The Rescue A reader writes: If the brown sugar, cookies or marshmallows get hard, a cut half of an apple placed in the jar with any of these for a day or two. It will restore the softness, and then you can ‘use all you buy’! –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– As always, if you have tips or ideas to share, send them to me at PennyWise, Box 518, Kadoka, SD 57543 or email me at pennywise@gwtc.net.

WE CAN BUILD IT Having trouble meeting your customer’s demands? Call us at Flint Cliffs Mfg., a 147,000 sq. ft. manufacturing operation located in Burlington, Iowa offering complete fabrication and painting under one roof.
Use It Or Lose It Don’t fret this fall, you can continue your campaign against clutter even when you get discouraged. Every year, several times per year, it seems like household clutter catches up with me. It is an unending process. That is okay. That is just the way it is. The process keeps us in shape and alert. Each time I remove clutter, I get better at it, and you can too. When I participate alertly in the process, I learn new tactics and techniques. The process goes more smoothly. I try a different angle. One fall, I created a new mantra and a new process to dig through closets, drawers, and cupboards: “Use it or lose it.” And, “Write it down.” Are you tired of hanging onto things because of good intentions or guilt? My response is, “Use it or lose it.” As I purge clutter, I challenge myself that if I continue to keep something in my life that I can’t let go of because it tugs at me, I must put it to its intended purpose soon, or, once and for all, send it out the door. This year I weed out clutter with a pen and paper in hand. I am going to write down the items and the corresponding good intentions that make me keep them. Items on the list that are still hanging on the next time I weed out must go. As you go through each room of your home, make a plan to incorporate this unused stuff into your life. Put them on “the list.” Vow to finish any partially completed craft projects. Give yourself realistic deadlines. Make plans to wear the clothing, jewelry, or “perfectly good” shoes that you have been hanging onto. Light the candle you had been saving. Listen to the CD that you don’t listen to any more but still aren’t sure you are ready to donate. Read the books or periodicals that whisper to you. Above all, put everything on “the list.” Keep a list of those “hangers on” as you weed out clutter. These guys are tough. They have probably survived several previous clutter clearing efforts. They are hanging around taking up storage space in your home and they are personally taunting you. They are mean. They promise things that don’t happen.
We can build nearly anything and can help you meet your production and sales requirements.
This time will be different. The process of listing these clingy items, reviewing the list, and trying to accomplish the list will be a consciousness-raising experience. You will look at this stuff differently. One way or another, its hold over you will be diminished. You can’t help but move forward.

For additional inspiration, check out a related book called Love It Or Lose It—Living ClutterFree Forever by Barbara Hemphill and Maggie Bedrosian (MD: BCI Press, 2002). They offer a 5-step clutter control process: “design your vision, eliminate excuses, commit your time, select your tools, and maintain your success.” I like their process to form an ideal vision of each room on the front end. Seeing an end result in my mind’s eye makes it easier to stay on task. It is also easier to know when you achieve your goal if you already envision the end result.

Another great book to try is Clear Your Clutter with Feng Shui by Karen Kingston (Broadway Books, 1999). I really enjoyed her ideas about room flow. Sometimes I reread a favorite clutter clearing book when I, once again, go through my house to battle my clutter.

Design your vision. Work toward it. Write down the items keeping you from your vision. And finally, use it or lose it. If you can’t get around to enjoying or using something today, when are you going to have time to do it tomorrow? Use it or lose it. You can sell or donate what you find, and help another person out there!

Versatile and Cummins are using a DPF/EGR emission control system to achieve interim Tier 4 emissions standards. The single fluid solution requires no additional fuels or additives reducing maintenance and fuelling time.

Why You Should Keep Your Grills Fired Up All Year Long
You may have already grilled your way through this summer – the hottest one ever recorded – but with Labor Day a recent memory, and all this extra meat on the market, you may want to reconsider your grilling plans for this year by stretching it out for all winter. And if you just can’t resist some of these extremely cheap cuts, learn to adjust your grilling methods to accommodate both the weather and these less expensive cuts. Instead of grilling individual steaks and chops, cook whole muscle cuts that aren’t so sensitive to temperature and actually become more tender the longer they are cooked over low to medium heat. These whole muscle cuts will weigh from 6 to 12 pounds, so you will have to plan accordingly. But they can be most forgiving when simply browned and slowly cooked in any kind of weather. There are just two things to remember — cut across the grain, and cut thin to win the hearts hearts of those of those you’re trying to please. Any cut of meat cut thin enough will be as tender as hamburger. The high end thick cuts should be reserved for individual steaks and

ing of fat from higher quality cuts.
With drought driven cattle liquidations and high cost feed, there continues to be a glut of meat. This should drive meat prices even lower and be incentive for you to keep your grills fired up. However, bargain basement prices often do more to drive customers away from the meat counter. When panic selling sets in, there is little regard for qualify, and often these under-finished cattle end up being sold right alongside the high end beef. Not knowing the difference, the average consumer unwittingly throws it on the grill, only to be so disappointed. Meat standards have to be adhered to and understood, or the satisfaction of the grill will be missed entirely. Cut identification, grade, and proper cutting all contribute to the gourmet, satiety value of the grilling experience. So don’t let this glut of cheap meat ruin a rich experience.
PONY TALES
Thus, when selecting hamburger, don’t always go for the leanest, most expensive. It will destroy the experience of good outdoor cooking. Select the cheapest, fattest burger you can find, and control the fat content with the sizzle. Turn up the heat, flip quickly and sear in those rich, savory juices. Any excess fat is cooked out of the burger, while at the same time retaining unbelievable, scrumptious flavor.
chops, but whole muscles like that of the arm-chuck, top sirloin, or sirloin tip will work just fine. They are also more conducive to the use of the meat thermometer (man’s best friend). With experience, you will find the touch/appearance approach to doneness to be adequate. But with these larger, thicker cuts the thermometer will give you results that will be done to perfection. But as we work our way through this glut of meat, the hamburger will be the real winner. The hamburger is that one meat product that cuts across the entire beef industry, and from which every weight and grade becomes a contributor. From the finest dining pleasure of prime beef, to that of the lowly cow standing upright at the manger, it all makes hamburger. Each contributes to the mix and blend of all its parts to make whole — the hamburger. The hamburger is always of greatest demand during the grilling season, but remember, with all these underfinished cattle, lean is not always better. Let’s face it: When it comes to ground meat, fat adds flavor. Fat adds flavor to any cut of meat, thus the need for marbling found in the higher quality cuts of meat. But adding fat will be particularly important during this time of an abundance of low quality cattle. This meat contains little or no marbling, and would be extremely dry and tasteless if it weren’t for the co-mingling and mix800-622-8836 |
Though the burger may not be the health food of choice, it has been declared the all-American food of preference. The burger has probably done more for the livestock industry than any other meat product. And the health issue is debatable. Unlike that of all the competitive detractors out there, none compare with the unique nutritional dietary requirements that meat provides. Take for instance, iron. The brain needs iron to make mood-regulating chemicals, like dopamine — in fact, people who are iron-deficient may be fifty-percent more likely to become depressed than those with higher iron levels! Meat contains more happiness-promoting Omega-3 fats than any other source. So why not add more happiness to your life, while tasting the best product you can put on your plate? Just don’t compromise selection in the temptation of an over-crowded meat case. Just two small servings a week (8 to 12 ounces) will keep you happy and satisfied. Keep those grills fired up and a smile on your face.
ME and MY GRILL The relationship between man and his grill is understandingly inseparable. So, what is it about this machine that brings out the best in us? You can burn it, overcook it, and create the unimaginable, but it’s never the grills fault. Our unforgiving nature is never challenged by the grill; especially if we’ve established bragging rights that are usually reserved for the brand names of our favorite ‘big boy toys’. Such is the case of me and my grill. Unlike most grills that are promoted as a macho association between man and beast, like that of Super Brand fervor—my grill has never been caught up in all that hype. My grill, instead, has no record of established bragging rights nor the virtues of a sales promotion that left it standing all alone on the show room floor. Having never before or since heard of as a mainline brand, it has lived up to its name — Professional Imperial. The name says it all, as it actually does take out-door cooking to a new level, and gives the chef an edge for which the competition doesn’t even compare. Being a meat-man all my life, this grill has been like my badge of honor. To be able
to practice what I preach has never been as profound as that of my grilling results. It would never have come to be had it not been for my relationship with the Husnick Meat Company in S. St Paul, MN. Ted always knew how to get things done, when others were just standing around picking up the pieces. For instance, there was no such thing as a delinquent accounts receivable on his books. If there wasn’t enough money available, he would simply foreclose on anything of value he could get his hands on. In one particular case he ended up with a store full of commercial meat processing equipment. In the mix was this grill that I took off his hands. That was more than a quarter century ago, and that grill is still my pride and joy. Not only did I end up with the grill, but I cried a liquidation auction for all of his accumulated parcels of debt recovery. That’s called a win-win relationship, for which I was taught lessons of entrepreneurship that served me will over the years. The lesson of finding to any and life throws you Ted.
I learned is that unique solutions all problems that your way. Thank

God Gives Us the Forgiveness of Sins, Life and Salvation Through Baptism Let’s step back a few thousand years in history, about 3 to 4 thousand years ago, just as Moses was transferring leadership to Joshua (around the time of Joshua 3 in the Bible). We can learn a lot from history, and what God was trying to teach us with His inspired Word. We live in a world where I guess is about half of America, and more than three-quarters of the rest of the world wouldn’t claim the Bible to be truthful. I am blessed to have 100% confidence that the whole Bible is the truth. Whether or not you believe the word of the Bible to be true, please read on as I relay the story of our history, as God inspired Joshua to write it. Moses had just led the Children of Israel out of bondage in Egypt, crossing the Red Sea into the Wilderness for about 40 years. Because of their unfaithfulness to God, Moses and the older Israelites where not going to see the Promised land.
Meanwhile, the story gets better: God chose to have His presence known at that time with the Ark of the Covenant. The Ark was adorned with Cherubim and Serifim on top. Inside, was the tablets of the Law – the 10 commandments – and Aaron’s rod, that He held up to part the waters of the Red Sea as they were escaping Egypt. God’s presence, the Ark of the Covenant (which was carried by the Priests), and the Levites went out in front leadership of the Israelites by about 10 football fields, until they reached the Jordan River. There, God commanded the Priests to put their feet into the Jordan, which was at flood stage. What miracle happened? God parted the Jordan river while the Children of Israel crossed. The Priests who were holding the Ark of the Covenant stood in the middle of the river on dry ground until they all had passed through. They then followed to the other side, and as soon as they had stepped out of the riverbed it started flowing again.

All the other nations living in the Promised land heard of the miracle of God, and their hearts melted. They no longer had courage to fight the Israelites. And why not? their false God had no power to part the Red Sea or the Jordan River. This just showed what an awesome and allpowerful God we have, who continuously blesses us with His presence and gifts. He has promised to be with us if we pray for His help. And if we push Him out of the schools, He will leave. A teacher told me the other day, “God will never be out of our schools – just watch all the kids pray before a test!” Too bad it takes these dire circumstances to ask God for help. He wants to be a part of our daily life. Back to the story: After the children of Israel passed through the Jordan, God told Joshua to have 12 people gather 12 rocks from where the Priests stood with the Ark of the Covenant in the bottom of the riverbed, to be a memorial to the people of Israel forever. This was a reminder that God can and will work great things through His believers.
They were also to circumcise all the males in the Children of Israel, because they had not circumcised anyone since they had left Egypt. Circumcision in the Old Testament was to recognize oneself as a Child of God, just like Baptism does in the New Testament. Where circumcision is just an outward act that cannot save one in itself, baptism in the New Testament saves. Through baptism, God gives us the forgiveness of sins, life and salvation. Just as the children of Israel were given freedom to the promised land by God’s parting of the waters, we also have access to the Promised land through Baptism. We are made clean and saved by God! We are saved not by anything we do, but purely by God’s grace, taught to us over 3,000 years ago. And the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob is still with us blessing us with His presence, giving us everything we need to prepare for our Promised land. The promised land is Heaven. But if you believe in Jesus Christ as your Savior, you already are an heir to the promised land. This began (or begins) at your baptism. –Steve Huneke

This was precursor for all of us that if we are not going to stay faithful to Him, we too will not see the promised land – which of course, is Heaven! That’s a fair warning from over three thousand years ago that
still stands today. There are only two endings for life on Earth: Heaven or Hell.

5 tell-tale signs of burnout Are you working too long and too hard? Could you achieve more by doing less? Professional athletes are susceptible to overtraining – thinking that they must run another mile, do more stairs or do one more set. But there is a narrow band that the athlete must train within in order to operate at peak performance. If they fall below this line, then they are not physically prepared enough. If they rise above it, then they risk physical exhaustion and injury. Are you any different from an athlete who needs to perform at your peak? Jim Loehr and Tony Schwartz first introduced us to the term “corporate athlete” in their book, “The Power of Full Engagement.” They argue that the corporate demands placed on us to work more, do more and to operate at a constant level of peak performance requires us to think and train like athletes. That means managing our energy more effectively and not succumbing to overtraining (which causes us to do more and more and yet get less and less). How do you know if you are “overtraining” and need to take a break? Here are five common symptoms of doing too much and not operating at peak performance: 1. Hopelessness. When you are feeling burned out, the optimism and goal planning for the future you once felt are replaced with apathy, pessimism and just a general feeling that tomorrow will not be better than today. It’s hard to get motivated when nothing seems to matter. 2. Exhaustion. If you find yourself downing ever-increasing amounts of coffee and energy shots just to stay conscious, chances are you’re working too hard and need a break. Exhaustion occurs when the body doesn’t have sufficient ability to rest and recuperate. Caffeine is just a Band-Aid – it’s covering up the fact that something is wrong. You shouldn’t need 500 mg of caffeine to make it through the day. A18
This is a tell-tale sign that you are performing beyond your limits. 3. Lack of focus. Another way to tell when you are pushing beyond your limits is when you are simply unable to focus on one thing at a time. Often this will creep up at home as well when you find that it’s more and more difficult to engage your children or spouse without feeling compelled to text or email. If you find that you are having more and more difficulty working on a project or communicating with your family without getting sidetracked, it’s time to disengage from work for a while. 4. Irritability. If you are on edge and overreacting to every little issue, it’s a sign that you have nothing left in the tank -- every bit of energy that you had for humor, compassion and creativity is gone, and all that remains is blame, contempt and frustration. If this describes you, it’s time to do yourself (and your colleagues!) a favor and refill the tank. 5. Physical illness. Athletes are prone to injury when they overtrain, but while it’s unlikely you will tear a muscle during your next presentation, you may experience physical maladies if you’ve been working too hard and too long. Common physical problems include headaches, digestion problems, back or neck pain, and even getting colds or the flu. These are all signs that your body is breaking down from the demands and stress that you are putting on it. Time to take a break. The need to always be “on” and to work more and more hours can lead to overtraining and burnout. While you’ll still see results – it’s hard not to when you’re working 12 hours a day – what you do accomplish will require ever-increasing amounts of energy and focus to continue to achieve. Instead, find your optimum performance zone where you feel rested, engaged and challenged so you can achieve more by doing less. 800-622-8836 |

STOP FUEL GELLING
The Universal Filter Preheater Fits Diesel and Bio-Diesel Fuel Filter Housing (8” to 12” circumference, 2.5” to 4” diameter) for lube oil and hydraulic filters too. It wraps around the filter housing and reduces or eliminates the possibility of cold weather fuel gelling stopping the engine. It is easily removable and transferable and is wired for your choice of: direct current or alternating current or a convertible model combining dc and ac. A standard 12v Universal Filter Preheater sells for $138. NEW — Now Available For Bulk Fuel Storage Tanks and Dispensing Pump Fuel Filters!
“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 insulation 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.

» » » Product Spotlight « « « Cold weather fuel gelling is prevented at the bulk tank and dispensing pump filter with this new Preheater™
• Lifting hitch: 3-point style, 12” to 48” lower tug height - Cat. III - adjustable top link • Axle/tires: four 6,000 lbs. hub/spindles 16.5L x 16.1 - floatation tires on “rocking bolster”
Re-fueling vehicles and machinery in cold conditions can be frustrating when the filter gels up and blocks the flow. Diesel and biodiesel fuel gelling becomes a serious problem and a costly one when work has to stop because vehicles and equipment cannot be fueled. A new Filter Preheater™ for Bulk Tank and Dispensing Pump Fuel Filters is announced by E TIP, Inc. According to president Hugh Goulding, the Bulk Tank Filter Preheater™ will fit 3” to 4” diameter X 7” tall metal filter housings. Three springs with nylon ties hold the Preheater™ snugly in position. Powered by 120v it is equipped with a thermostat to prevent overheating. A ground lead uses a convenient alligator clip to ground the Preheater™. Priced at $225, the new Preheater™ will keep the fuel flowing. Ask for part #UN-FH7X9X 120.

Save your hearing with a new Fehr Cab Kit After years of hard work, your tractor and combine cabs start showing their age (just like us farmers!). The foam starts sagging and deteriorating, making your cab dirty, dusty and noisy, but a new Fehr Cab Interior can help your tractor environment become quieter and cleaner. The insulation really should be replaced when it starts to harden and crumble, because it loses all acoustical properties and the sound waves arc no longer absorbed. Hours spent in a noisy cab can damage your hearing! Fehr Cab Interiors began as an upholstery service in 1988. As farmers began requesting new insulation for their tractors, we researched and found the original materials for all the different models, and went right to our customers’ farms with our service; sewing machine, glue pots, and cutting tables. We replaced hundreds of tractor and combine cab interiors in farmers’ machine sheds across the Midwest. As our customer demand grew, we put together pre-cut, formed, and pre-sewn kits for the most popular models and started shipping the kits to farmers all over the country. Fehr Cab Interior kits are complete with detailed instructions, a diagram, and the best adhesives for applying our parts. Since we also install many cab kits, we know how they need to be made for the best fit. In the last fifteen years the ag industry has

As an environmentally sustainable water conditioning technology, FRE-FLO™ provides effective solutions for a common, world-wide problem found in soil, pipes, and equipment – water flow stopping or slowing down because of hard calcium carbonate mineral deposits (limescale). Utilized for de-scaling in industry and business since 1972, cost-saving FRE-FLO™ solutions then expanded to agriculture and turf. A new model line was added for home in 2009. R and D is currently underway on further specialized models. What FRE-FLO™ is not: With FRE-FLO™ there are: no chemicals in daily operation, no magnets, no electricity needed, no salts required, nothing added to the water. FRE-FLO™ is not a water softener (water softeners remove minerals from the water, while FRE-FLO™ water conditioning has the big advantage of minerals remaining in water). What FRE-FLO™ does: Simply stated, FRE-FLO™ is green technology engineered to work with nature. FRE-FLO™ works with the ability of calcium carbonate (a very versatile mineral) to have different forms and functions. Its remarkably different forms are seen in nature – such as in marble, limestone, sea shells, and egg shells. From cement to health food supplements, manufacturers use calcium carbonate, further demonstrating

its versatility. Water conditioning prevents minerals that cause hardness in water from clumping together into hard deposit buildups. Catalytic FRE-FLO™ systems change existing hard calcium carbonate deposits, so water can flow freely, while also preventing new deposits from forming. Thus, bottomline, FRE-FLO™ is a water conditioning technology that unclogs soil pores and water-using equipment of hard calcium carbonate deposits.

‘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.
Eliminate the dangerous and dirty manual clean out of headers Goodwin Industries has a corn header sweep for you Pictured on the right is a header sweep built and manufactured by Goodwin Industries Inc. of Burns, KS. The header sweep is designed to sweep in down corn, broken stalks, and dry leaf buildup. This in turn eliminates dangerous and dirty manual clean out of the header. This is done with drag arms connected to a crank shaft, which continuously pulls the stalks into the auger.
We have a highly trained staff that can assist in the sale, design and installation of geothermal equipment. Hydro Pump Company is also a wholesale distributor of water well products, submersible and centrifugal pumps. We distribute PVC and poly pipe, as well as brass fittings and pressure tanks to complete a domestic or industrial water system.
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.
––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
With this design, the drag arms pull back, pickup, and move forward, set down and pull back again. This unit can be left on and in use at all times. It is not big and bulky and will not hinder good standing corn. You just put it on and let it run. The header sweep is powered by a hydraulic motor connected to the reel drive which allows for variable speed adjustment. Each drag arm is connected to a spring bar, which allows for tension release when necessary. Also, by using a “V” belt drive slippage is possible when needed. The design allows for easy installation on most headers. Contact Goodwin Industries, Inc., 215 West Broadway, Burns, KS 66840, phone: 620726-5281, or www.goodwinsweep.com. A26
What does your Farm Legacy Plan Look Like?
Family Farm businesses face many complex issues and constant changes in technology, laws and regulations, as well as growth and aging of family members and workers. When thinking about your farm legacy plan, ask yourself the following questions: 1. If you could change one thing about your family farm business what would it be? 2. How would you prefer to pass your farm to the next generation? 3. How will you provide opportunities that fit all family members’ strengths? 4. How will you deal with 800-622-8836 |
“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.

No two farms and no two families are alike.. that’s why each must determine its strengths and weaknesses, as well as goals and opportunities. There is no one-size-fits-all solution on how to transfer a business that assures continuity, or everyone’s happiness and acceptance of the outcome.
“There’s no furnace in the world that does what this one does,” said Daryl Lamppa.
Model 525000 features two rows of tempered T1 alloy steel teeth on each side of the puller for a stronger grip and better pulling power. The spade points allow the digging of roots and loosening of the soil.

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.
Benefits of VaporFire Furnaces:
You may visit our website at www. precisionmfg.com or call toll free 888-4973224.
• 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.

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. I am 86 years old, no more the tired feeling I had, my swollen feet are normal again, and my bowel is working normally. Two specialists had told me ‘we can’t help you’.” — Sincerely, Peter A. Wiebe.
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. #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. #5. American Eagle: Bellow warranty, five years. The competition: Diaphragm warranty–ZERO! #6. American Eagle: 5, 4, 3, 2 and 1-year warranty with an emailed picture of 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.)

See our “Compare” video on our web site (www.pondaeration.com) to see why 100% of who compare ‘hands on’ buy the American Eagle.
#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.

Unique heart formula saves countless lives
Standard features include: • 5 ton capacity hopper (170 cu. ft.)
Over 20 years ago Jim Strauss suffered a major heart attack and was told he would need bypass surgery or he would die.
• Adjustable wheel width, 72” to 120”
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.
• New 11.25” x 28” 12 ply tires, mounted and installed
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.
Simonsen’s is still family owned and operated and has been serving the needs of the farm community since 1927.
• Hydraulic wheel drive actuation • 40” of ground clearance to the distributor fan • Stainless steel construction
• 540 RPM PTO drive (variable rate and GPS compatibility available) • Heavy duty machined steel hitch clevis • Gearbox driven distributor fan • Heavy duty tubular frame
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. www.farmandlivestockdirectory.com |

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 LamPly 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 anywhere in the U.S. For more information, contact Starwood Rafters, Inc., W24141 Starwood Lane, Independence, WI 54747.

E
ntries for the 2013 National Festival of Breads, sponsored by King Arthur Flour, Fleischmann’s Yeast, and the Kansas Wheat Commission, will be accepted starting September 1, 2012, through February 7, 2013. The competition seeks the best yeast bread recipes from home bakers throughout the United States. Adult amateur bakers, ages 18 and up, can submit original recipes for ethnic breads, rolls, time-saving and easy breads, and whole grain breads online at www.NationalFestivalofBreads.com. New this year, youth, ages 12-17, can submit recipes for rolls and whole grain breads using the same form. Submissions will only be accepted through the online form. Judges will evaluate all entries and select eight adult finalists, each of whom will receive airfare and accommodations to participate in the national competition June 21-23, 2013, in Manhattan, Kansas. In addition, each finalist will receive a $500 cash award, participate in a wheat harvest tour to a working Kansas wheat farm, flour mill and grain elevator, and take part in other activities. One youth grand prize winner will also receive a $500 cash prize, travel and lodging for the youth and an adult to attend the National Festival of Breads and demonstrate the winning recipe. “Inspiring youth to bake can foster future generations of home bakers,” says Cindy Falk, chairperson of the event and nutrition educator for the Kansas Wheat Commission. “These youth bakers can then pass on their baking skills as a service to local schools, communities and clubs.”
Mahindra USA Salutes Our Military With A Special Offer The Mahindra Pride Military Appreciation Program is in recognition of the daily sacrifices made by military personnel volunteering their service to our country. Mahindra USA reaches out to the individuals working in all five branches of the U.S. armed forces with this special Appreciation Program offering a $250 rebate to all current and retired military personnel. Effective immediately, this rebate is available on the purchase of any new Mahindra, the number one selling tractor brand in the world based on volume. “Mahindra USA is proud of our armed forces and this Appreciation Program is our way of giving back to our nation’s true heroes for all they have done and continue to do to safeguard our freedoms,” said Cleo Franklin, Vice President, Marketing and Strategic Planning, Mahindra USA. “This program goes beyond our ongoing support of the military through Operation Finally Home, (www.operationfinallyhome.org) to connect directly to the individuals who stand up for our rights every day, and provides Mahindra USA the opportunity to show our appreciation.”

Gale Collier’s “Quick Raisin Granola Breakfast Rolls” won the grand prize in the 2011 National Festival of Bread.
The Festival of Breads was established nearly 24 years ago by the WheatHearts, an auxiliary of the Kansas Association of Wheat Growers. In the original “Festival of Breads” baking competition, hundreds of amateur bakers from Kansas submitted their recipes during the biennial competition. “The National Festival of Breads builds upon a rich tradition of grassroots support and is the nation’s only amateur yeast bread baking competition,” says Falk. “This contest is a way for amateur bakers to be recognized for their baking skills and creativity.” The National Festival of Breads is sponsored by two of the most trusted brands in baking, Fleischmann’s Yeast and King Arthur Flour. As the most trusted brand of yeast since 1868, Fleischmann’s Yeast is known for quality and reliability. King Arthur Flour is America’s oldest flour company and premier baking resource. Additional information, past recipes and a summary of the 2009 and 2011 competitions are available at www.NationalFestivalofBreads.com.
custom-made, mortgage-free homes to wounded and disabled veterans and the widows of the fallen, in 2005. Operation Finally Home has provided 32 homes to wounded returning veterans as well as widows of fallen heroes in Texas, Kansas, New York, North Carolina, Tennessee, and Illinois. “The Military Appreciation Program is just one more way Mahindra USA continues to be a great supporter of our armed forces,” said Dan Wallrath, Founder and President of Operation Finally Home. “Companies like Mahindra make home ownership more accessible for military personnel. This rebate helps whether they are building a life for their families now or for their return to civilian life after serving our country.” Retired soldier and Mahindra tractor-owner Shaun Meadows, a spokesperson in Mahindra’s television and print advertising says, “When I was building my new home, a Mahindra tractor was my first and best choice. The strong frame, ease of use, low maintenance and reliability make Mahindra a great addition for a rural lifestyle.”
In addition to offering this rebate directly to people serving our country in the military, Mahindra USA has pledged to donate two dollars for every Mahindra Tractor sold this year to Operation Finally Home. Dan Wallrath formed the non-profit organization, providing A28
