Keeping Track Takes Time

County Clerk Makes Sure Only Qualified Voters Cast Ballots by Ronda Lickteig R-T Staff Writer We’ve all heard the joke: “vote early, vote often!” We might get a chuckle out of that or the stories about people casting a vote 20 years after they’ve gone on to the big polling place in the sky. But seriously, how do those in the county clerk’s office maintain an accurate list of voters and ensure that everyone is getting just one vote? The short answer is that it takes a lot of effort. One way the voter rolls are maintained is to do a two-year mailing of new voter registration cards to every registered voter in the county. “By statute we have to send out the new cards to every single registered voter every two years,” said Grundy County Clerk Betty Spickard. “If the post office has a change of address for that person, they are supposed to send it back.” The large number of returns every two years is proof that we’re a very mobile society. The registrations of those whose cards are returned are then deleted from the voter rolls. That’s one reason a person might not find themselves on the voter list when they go cast a ballot. So it’s important to remember to change your voter registration address if you’ve moved. Just filling out

COMMISSION MEETS Snow Removal Bids

Radio System Change Discussed

Flushing Con ntiinu es s Flushing of the city’s water distribution system is continuing throughout the month of October, with Trenton Municipal Utilities crews flushing the area east of Highway 65 in the Trenton Lake area to the city limits. This is a semi-annual requirement of the water treatment process and may be some discoloration of water during the hours of flushing, which will be from 9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. on Monday through Friday. It is recommended customers run water for a short period of time prior to doing laundry or wait until after the flushing hours. Persons with questions may contact the water treatment plant at 359-3211.

The radio system for the sheriff’s department and consideration of snow removal bids were on the agenda for Tuesday’s meeting of the Grundy County Commission, which also discussed the county hazard mitigation plan. In a meeting with Grundy County Sheriff Rodney Herring, the commission discussed moving the system used by sheriff’s office to the statewide MOSWIN radio system. According to Presiding Commissioner Phillip Ray, the commission has requested monetary assistance from the Drug Task Force Seizure Fund to facilitate the switch to replace mobile and handheld radios. Ray said there would also be a hardware module installed at the dispatch center for compatability purposes. The approximate cost of the project is $65,000. Two bids were considered for snow removal. Chris and Danny Gott submitted a bid which included $500 for snow removal and ice melt application at the courthouse, prosecuting attorney’s office and law enforcement center. They also included a bid of $125 for applying ice melt only when needed, with the county supplying the ice melt. The second bid, submitted by Thane Denney, was for $375 for snow removal and ice melt application at the same three locations and the application of ice melt only for $80. The bids were tabled until further information can be sought from the parties. Commissioners met with Randy Railsback and Jennifer Wykoff to begin preparations for updating the county hazard mitigation plan, which is updated every five years.

Organization Key In ConAgra Purchase By Nestle

NCMDA Addresses Area Business Needs Editor’s Note: The Trenton Republican-Times will be publishing a weekly series of articles regarding the activities of the North Central Missouri Development Alliance and information about economic and community development in Grundy County. By Micah Landes, Director North Central Missouri Development Alliance Late in the year of 2016 and early 2017, Grundy County received concerning news from the ConAgra Corporation which stated their intentions to phase out and ultimately close the Trenton facility. Receipt of this news threatened the employment of 350plus employees and promised to challenge the economy in Grundy County and the surrounding region. Local governments and taxing entities were faced with the possibility of a loss in property tax revenue, utilities, goods

and services as well as a decline in population. Several months after the formation of North Central Missouri Development Alliance, ConAgra announced the sale of the Trenton facility to Nestle Inc., which was a major accomplishment for the newly-formed organization. Former Nestle plant manager Andy Darley has publicly stated that without the services of NCMDA the ownership transfer would never have happened. The Nestle acquisition serves as a testament to the ability of a community to achieve great things when everyone is focused on the same goal and egos and agendas are checked at the door. Historically, economic development in Grundy County had been delivered primarily at the city level, which partnered with the Grundy County Industrial Development Corporation. Many positive outcomes

The high on Monday, Oct. 19 at Trenton was 44 and Tuesday’s high was 47. Wednesday’s high was 52 and the low was 39. Wednesday’s high at the Government Weather Station near Spickard was 52, the low was 37. Precipitation was .12 of an inch.

were realized over the years from this delivery mode however, the ConAgra situation highlighted the need for an organization that could be the conduit for all things economic development in the county without the required public purview at the city and county government levels. In response to the economic threats that the ConAgra closure promised to deliver representatives from the city, county, Industrial Development, and other partners began discussions about forming a countywide development organization that would represent the interests of all public taxing entities within the county. Those involved researched the economic development models of surrounding counties in the northeast and northwestern parts of the state and learned that almost every city/county had evolved into a public/private partnership model for the delivery of their

economic development initiatives and they were experiencing positive outcomes. After a great deal of discussion and exploration, NCMDA was incorporated on March 23, 2017, and after a selection process I was hired as the first director of the organization. NCMDA is funded by a partnership with the City of Trenton and Grundy County and the organization is governed by a set of by-laws and a board of directors. Current board members include Phillip Ray, Grundy County Presiding Commissioner, representing Grundy County; Cathie Smith, city council member representing City of Trenton: Jackie Soptic, Green Hills Regional Planning Commission.

SPORTS BRIEFS Trenton JV Football Team Routs Gallatin For 44-0 Victory Trenton’s junior varsity football team overwhelmed Gallatin on Monday night at C.F. Russell Stadium, picking up a 44-0 victory for the team’s second win of the year. After Gabe Stark put Trenton on the board in the first quarter with a 30-yard run, Braydon Hughs ran for three touchdowns in the second quarter. Trenton got one 2-point conversion out of the four scores and led 26-0 at halftime. Hughs scored twice more in the third quarter and a fourth-quarter touchdown from Stark capped the scoring for Trenton. Hughs finished with 256 yards rushing and the five touchdowns to lead the Trenton offense. Stark rushed for 55 yards and his two scores. As a team, Trenton rushed for 355 yards while getting 390 yards of total offense on the night. Trenton collected five turnovers on defense, getting interceptions from Wyatt Schneiderheinze and Rudy Esparza. Tim Kempton, Hughs and Bo Meeker each had a fumble recovery in the win. “I am very proud of the boys’ effort this evening,” Trenton coach Jon Guthrie said. “The team competed hard and played physical football for four quarters, which is what we’ve been preaching the last few weeks. Braydon Hughs had a phenomenal game and Gabe Stark ran very hard up the middle. Collin Taylor also did a good job managing the game at quarterback. Coach (Trey) Shields did a great job having the defense fired up, and they were able to get five turnovers playing physical football.” Trenton’s JV, 2-2-1 overall, closes out the season this Monday, hosting South Harrison at C.F. Russell Stadium at 6 p.m.

Middle School Football Season Ends With Loss To Gallatin The Trenton Middle School football team closed out its 2020 season on Monday, falling at home to Gallatin, 20-6. Trenton’s lone touchdown came in the second quarter on an 18-yard pass from Aidan Weyer to Devin Baker that momentarily tied the game at 6-6. But Gallatin tagged on two touchdowns in the second half that Trenton could not match and Trenton fell to cap its season with an 0-6 overall record.

As the Trenton Bulldogs continue to hunt for a victory in 2020, the task continues to get harder. Trenton has worked its way up the Grand River Conference tiers in recent weeks in terms of opponents and the final regular season game of the season comes against the South Harrison Bulldogs - a team that currently sits tied atop the league standings. South Harrison was selected by the conference coaches as the preseason favorite to win the league in 2020. After a 267 win over Milan in week 7, that certainly appeared like it would be the case. But the Bethany-based Bulldogs were tripped up the following week by Princeton, falling 28-6 on the road at Eddie Allen Field. For the second year in a row, a loss to Princeton has South Harrison looking at a likely split conference title as opposed to the outright crown. So how will South Harrison respond in week 9 against Trenton? The Bulldogs have certainly struggled this year so South Harrison will likely see this game as an opportunity to get healthy heading into district play the following week. “I hope (our kids) are up for this game and understand they are playing a spoiler role,” Trenton coach Kevin Hixson said. “It would be great to get a conference win, but it would be really great to get one over South Harrison because nobody is going to see that coming.” Last week’s loss to Princeton aside, South Harrison has had a very successful season.

dogs had outscored conference competition 210-21 leading up to the Princeton loss and have three shutouts over GRC opponents this year. “They have good numbers, 12-to-15 kids per class, and that gives you great numbers,” Hixson said. “Their skill guys and almost all of their offensive linemen are coming of age - juniors and seniors. They are big and physical and things are clicking. They have that experience so everything is just kind of falling together for them. They play hard and they still make some of those high school mistakes, but they are as physical of a team as there is in the conference.” Weather may impact what both teams want to do in the game as well. Rain overnight on Thursday into Friday could make the playing surface at C.F. Russell Stadium in Trenton play a little slower than it traditionally does. There is also a small chance of rain during

the game as well. To the Bulldogs’ benefit, a slower track could limit South Harrison quarterback Austin Lasher’s speed. If that is the case, South Harrison becomes more one-dimensional as they will look to feed Gradyn Linthacum up the middle. Linthacum is a load to bring down, though, so that might be a tough task to handle. Trenton has done a much better job of hanging onto the ball this year than in recent seasons where ball security was a huge issue. Trenton has just two turnovers from fumbles since week one when Trenton gave Brookfield the ball four times with fumbles. Still, Trenton will have to put a premium on holding onto the football this week if they want an opportunity to pull off the upset. Trenton and South Harrison kick off from C.F. Russell Stadium tonight (Friday) at 7 o’clock.

When Trenton has the ball: The Bulldogs have added a few wrinkles on offense that they haven’t shown this season. South Harrison will likely have to make some adjustments after seeing Trenton on its first couple of possessions. Ball security will be huge for Trenton with the threat of rainy weather. When South Harrison has the ball: South Harrison will likely feed its big back, Gradyn Linthacum. Quarterback Austin Lasher is a running threat as well who gives South Harrison a big-play threat with his speed. If the weather is less than favorable, look for Linthacum to command a big majority of the team’s carries.

Rough Go Against Tough Foes Trenton Falls To St. Joe Christian And Savannah On Back-To-Back Nights ST. JOSEPH CHRISTIAN 3 TRENTON 0 SAVANNAH 3 TRENTON 0

As if facing the 21-1 St. Joseph Christian Lions on Monday wasn’t bad enough, the Trenton High School volleyball team returned to the court one night later to face Savannah, a team that hasn’t lost since Oct. 1. Both matches ended in losses for Trenton, which fell to St. Joseph Christian 258, 25-15, 25-12 at home on Monday and 25-8, 25-10, 25-19 on the road in Savannah on Tuesday. Trenton started slow against St. Joseph Christian, but improved as the match went along. Coach Pam Bowden was pleased with her team’s performance against a one-loss club despite the lop-sided nature of the scores. “We played well despite the scores as an indication,” Bowden said. “St. Joe Christian is a very good team.” Trenton was paced by five kills, three assists, three blocks, two digs and an ace from Evy McCullough in Monday’s loss. Ava Simpson added nine assists, two kills and an ace and Lilly Berti had three kills, an assist, an ace and two digs. Jessa Shipley and Kenzie Yuille each had four digs in the match. Trenton’s junior varsity also fell to St. Joseph Christian, losing 25-14, 25-22. Ally Yoder had four kills and two aces to lead the JV while Nautica Dowling finished with three kills, an ace and a block and Kaylea Boyle tallied four assists and

an ace. Abby Simpson had three aces for the JV. By the third set against Savannah on Tuesday, Trenton was hitting on all cylinders. But the Bulldogs buried themselves early and were unable to come away with a win in any set. Ava Simpson had seven assists and an ace and McCullough had five blocks, two kills and a dig. Trenton got three kills and a dig from Olivia Roberts, two kills and a dig from Mackenzee Epperson, one kill and three digs from Shipley and one kill and one dig from Berti. Yuille added four digs for the Bulldogs. In lower varsity action, Trenton fell 2510, 25-4 in the C game and 25-10, 25-9 in the JV game. Dowling had three kills and a block for the JV, which also got two kills

and an ace from Yoder and three assists from Abby Simpson. With the two varsity losses this week, Trenton dropped to 7-13 overall on the season. The Bulldogs will be in Class 2, District 16 Tournament semifinal action next Tuesday in Carrollton. Trenton is seeded second in the tournament behind Carrollton, who the Bulldogs split with in their only two meetings - both at the Carrollton Tournament. Trenton fell to the Trojanettes in pool play before coming back to beat the host school in the championship later in the day. Trenton is scheduled to play South Harrison in the semifinals on Tuesday. First serves for that district match are scheduled for 6 p.m.

the same thing with those in the military. Sometimes those cards will get sent back because their permanent address is in Grundy County but they aren’t living here right now. In the city, someone might not know that but here, we usually know that kind of thing, so we’re not going to delete them unless we get notice that they’ve registered somewhere else.” As far as being able to “vote often,” the odds in Grundy County are less than slim that you would be able to vote more than once. Election judges are required to ask for identification and a name would be flagged if someone tried to vote more than once. Mrs. Spickard has also reminded voters that it’s illegal to even attempt to vote more than once and she said she does know of one person who has had their voting rights revoked due to attempted voter fraud. Of course, we’ve all heard

of deceased people supposedly casting a ballot after their death. Ms. Campbell takes great strides to keep the voter registration database accurate and up to date by deleting those who have died. In fact, she peruses the RepublicanTimes for obituaries, which she cuts out and saves as proof of their death prior to deleting them from the database. She also looks at the websites of area funeral homes since she knows not every person has their obituary printed in the newspaper. There is also a state website that includes deaths and once Ms. Campbell learns of the death of any registered voter in Grundy County, she puts it in a spreadsheet that she has developed and maintains. So, if you’re still alive and you’re registered at the address where you’re living, odds are you can vote with ease on Tuesday, Nov. 3. If either of those things are not true, you might find it difficult to cast a ballot - at least in Grundy County.

OP/ED

The Final Word by Diane Lowrey R-T Editor

Local Turnout Good In November When it comes to turning out to cast an election ballot for president in November, Grundy County voters do a pretty good job. Since 1980, the first General Election in which I voted as a resident of Grundy County, turnout for the November presidential election has averaged 71 percent. This includes a high of 76.9 percent in 2008 and a low of 65 percent in both 1980 and 1984. And based on the number of Grundy County voters who have already cast a ballot either by absentee Diane Lowrey or mail-in along with the number of requests for ballots made to the county clerk’s office, the 2020 turnout could be even higher than in 2008. The Grundy County numbers best the national average of 54 percent (according to the American Presidency Project website) by nearly 17 percent. The highest national turnout during that time was in 2008 with 58.23 percent while the lowest was in 1996 with 49 percent. Early voting reports in states throughout the U.S. would indicate the national numbers could see a significant increase as well. I am encouraged by the interest being shown in this year’s election. As a proponent of being a registered voter and casting a ballot in all local, state and national elections, it’s hard for me to understand those individuals who have the same opportunity but don’t take the time to exercise what is their right under the U.S. Constitution. Many times individuals have told me they didn’t go to the polls “because my vote doesn’t count.” My response to them is “your vote didn’t count only because you chose not to.” And I believe that 2020 is a perfect example of everyone’s vote counting, with a big decision being made on who our next president will be along with choices regarding Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Secretary of State, Attorney General, U.S. Congressman, retention of judges and two state constitutional amendments. Local candidates, all of whom are running unopposed, also appear on the ballot. A sample election ballot appears on page 3 of today’s Republican-Times while a copy of the constitutional amendments appear on page 8 & 9. Also in today’s paper (on the front page) is a story by R-T staff writer Ronda Lickteig about what steps the county clerk’s office takes to assure that all votes cast in the election are legitimate. With concerns about voting validity on the national level, the story provides some great information as to how the clerk’s office uses a number of resources to keep its voter rolls up to date.

What Others Are Saying... Term Limits For State Offices

Do you want to amend the Missouri Constitution to extend the two-term restriction that currently applies to the governor and treasurer to the lieutenant governor, secretary of state, auditor and the attorney general? State and local governmental entities estimate no costs or savings from this proposal. A “yes” vote will amend the Missouri Constitution to impose a two-term restriction on all statewide elected officials, which currently only applies to the governor and treasurer.

Guest Editorials A “no” vote will leave the terms that statewide elected officials may serve unchanged. Term limits in general are popular, though how popular depends on the branch of government and the office under consideration. Governors are term limited in 36 of the 50 states, including Missouri. Amendment 1 on the Nov. 3 ballot would mean all six statewide elected officials would be limited to no more than two four-year terms in office. The governor and treasurer are already subject to term limits of two four-year terms. The other officials are: lieutenant governor, secretary of state, state auditor, state treasurer and attorney general. All the statewide elected officials serve four-year terms, but the auditor is elected in even-numbered, nonpresidential election years, out of cycle with the other offices. In the Globe’s recent unscientific online poll, 87% of readers who responded said they supported the measure. We suspect that is representative of voter senti-

LETTING VOTERS DECIDE TERM LIMITS There is a question on the upcoming November ballot that is not getting the attention other measures are receiving. While every race and ballot question is important, this particular issue is one that has been around for some time, and will ultimately be decided by Missouri voters in November. Amendment 1 would expand term limits to all statewide elected officials. Currently, only the governor and state treasurer are subject to no more than two terms in office. Probably the best-known was James Kirk-

patrick, who served as Missouri’s secretary of state from 1965 to 1985. Amendment 1 is the result of Senate Joint Resolution 14 & 9, which passed in 2019. Below is how the question will appear on the ballot: Official Ballot Title: Do you want to amend the Missouri Constitution to extend the two term restriction that currently applies to the governor and treasurer to the lieutentant governor, secretary of state, auditor and the attorney general? State and local governmental

ment and the measure is likely to pass, but there are some things residents should know and consider before casting their ballots: • Term limits bring new people into elected offices. • Incumbents have a huge advantage in elections through increased name recognition and the likelihood of raising more money than a challenger. • Term limits already exist — we call them elections. • Term limits take choices away from voters, preventing otherwise qualified candidates from seeking reelection. • Term limits can increase polarization. Relationships and experience tend to allow for coalition building and compromise necessary for governing. • Term limits often are seen as a way to reduce the influence of lobbyists and special interest influence by reducing entrenched relationships with officials. • Term limits mean officials are less experienced, making them more dependent on those with deeper institutional and policy knowledge — lobbyists, unelected staffers and policy wonks — to deal with complex issues. This can put more public business into the hands of people we haven’t elected. The drive for term limits is largely based on opposition to creating a governing class, concern that time in office can make leaders distant from their constituents and the assumption that greater time in office will make political figures corrupt. Public servants argue otherwise, and there are other effects to consider when casting your ballot. All potential effects of the change should be weighed before you cast your ballot. — Joplin Globe

entities estimate no costs or savings from this proposal. Fair Ballot Language: A “yes” vote will amend the Missouri Constitution to impose a two term restriction on all statewide elected officials, which currently only applies to the Governor and Treasurer. A “no” vote will leave the terms that statewide elected officials may serve unchanged. If passed, this measure will have no impact on taxes. I believe the rationale behind this amendment is simple. Lawmakers have term limits, which were approved by voters in 1992. The limit is eight years in the Missouri House of Representatives, or four terms, and eight years in the Missouri Senate, or two terms. Those who favor Amendment 1 believe term limits should be applied equally to everyone who is elected, at the state level, here in Missouri. There are also those who feel differently about term limits. Op-

ponents of Amendment 1 would rather leave every election up to the voters. If the majority continues to elect someone for any number of years or terms, so be it. Why put a restraint on someone if their constituents continue to elect them year after year? In my opinion, the people who oppose term limits see freedom in letting the voter decide, rather than a predetermined law. In any event, Amendment 1 will be another question voters will see on Nov. 3. All of the ballot questions are important, and point to the need to vote. It is what separates America from most countries, and part of our uniqueness. As always, please feel free to call, email or write with your ideas or concerns.

AGRICULTURE

Extension Notes by University of Missouri Extension UNDERSTANDING HAY AS A CROP by Jason Morris Agricultural Business Engagement Specialist As we are winding down hay production for the year, it is important to look at hay not just as a forage but also as a crop. The volume of acreage dedicated to hay has been increasing over the past several decades. Though not at the capacity of traditional crops such as beans and corn, hay has seen a drastic increase in acreage harvested. According to the latest figures provided by the USDA, total acreage for Northeast Missouri has reached 229,000 acres for 408,400 tons of forage. When adding grazing and conservation to the mix, there is a $12 billion nput to the economy of Missouri. This income directly impacts more than 200,000 Missourians. Missouri ranks third in the nation n cow calf pairs accounting for more than four million head. Appropriately, Missouri also ranks second in the nation for the production of grass hay. Beef producers and those directly involved in beef production are not the only ones producing hay. Indications show traditional row crop farmers who have little or no livestock are devoting more acreage towards hay production. By doing so, farmers are

providing more diversification while increasing farm resources. Thus, those traditional crop farmers tend to apply the needed time to develop proper hay production and management/marketing programs. Those producing hay do not have the availability to submit their crop in a manner respective of traditional row crop farmers. There are very few auction houses or business to accept hay when compared with grain elevators for those producing grains. Adding to the complexity, hay is not an individual crop such as soybeans or corn but exists of many crops such as fescue, clover and alfalfa to name a few. One of the most common difficulties impacting the marketing of hay is the lack of standardized grades used for value. While hay is often shipped great distances, there does not exists a national or standardized market structure as it exists for corn, soybeans and cotton. As the value of hay should represent both the weight (volume) and nutritional value, most pricing is determined between the seller and purchaser. While other agriculture commodities such as corn, cattle or swine, have a national pricing system, hay value needs to be determined through laboratory

analysis. Understanding the quality of hay can be of positive for each party involved in buying and selling. As price variability and the lack of published or researched pricing exists, producers can utilize marketing strategies to sell their hay product and improve pricing for it. The principal focus of any marketing program is to improve profitability of the enterprise. However, the criteria differs among hay producers who are simply disposing of excess forage and those whose hay production provides for substantial income. For the most effective means of marketing hay, producers should attempt to market hay according to quality, type and, most importantly, towards select groups of livestock and equine owners. These include: *livestock including beef, goats, sheep and other livestock * equine such as horses, mules, donkeys and ponies * industrial mulch users * hay brokers * export markets Cash hay production in Missouri is increasing and thus appealing to more farmers. As this interest increases so does the supply. For more profitability, hay producers need a sound management program which includes marketing. An improvement plan can increase both hay yields as well as profits. Hay sample testing can be performed for the purchaser as well. Additionally, knowing the quality of the forage purchased can aid in the profit of the animal owner through lowering input costs and increasing weight gains or milk production.

Soil Moisture Good Around State Temperatures last week averaged 65.2 degrees, 7.1 degrees above normal. The only measurable preciptation occurred in the southeast part of the state. There were 6.5 days suitable for fieldwork for the week ending Oct. 11.

TRUCK DRIVERS WANTED Must have good driving record, part-time/full-time.

Topsoil moisture supply was rated 11 percent very short, 35 percent short and 54 percent adequate. Subsoil moisture supply was rated 7 percent very short, 27 percent short and 66 percent adequate. Corn mature progressed to 94 percent, compared to the Ag Lime Hauling & Spreading

five-year average of 97 percent. Corn harvested for grain was 51 percent complete, compared to the five-year average of 66 percent. Corn condition was rated 2 percent very poor, 4 percent poor, 16 percent fair, 61 percent good and 17 percent excellent. Variable Rate Capability

ARC And PLC Programs Open

Agricultural producers can now make elections and enroll in the Agriculture Risk Coverage and Price Loss Coverage programs for the 2021 crop year. The signup period opened on Tuesday, Oct. 13. These programs help producers weather fluctuations in either revenue or price for certain crops, and more than $5 billion in payments are in the process of going out to producers who signed up for the 2019 crop year. Enrollment for the 2021 crop year closes March 15, 2021. ARC provides income support payments on historical base acres when actual crop revenue declines below a specified guaranteed level. PLC provides income support payments on historical base acres when the effective price for a covered commodity falls below its reference price. Covered commodities include barley, canola, large and small chickpeas, corn, crambe, flaxseed, grain sorghum, lentils, mustard seed, oats, peanuts, dry peas, rapeseed, long grain rice, medium and short grain rice, safflower seed, seed cotton, sesame, soybeans, sunflower seed and wheat. 2021 Elections and Enrollment Producers can elect coverage and enroll in crop-by-crop ARC-County or PLC, or ARC-Individual for the entire farm, for the 2021 crop year. Although election changes for 2021 are optional, enrollment (signed contract) is required for each year of the program. If a producer has a multi-year contract on the farm and makes an election change for 2021, it will be necessary to sign a new contract. If an election is not submitted by the deadline of March 15, 2021, the election defaults to the current election for crops on the farm from the prior crop year. For crop years 2022 and 2023, producers will have an opportunity to make new elections during those signups. 2019 Crop Year ARC and PLC Payments FSA began processing payments last week â&#x20AC;˘WANTEDâ&#x20AC;˘ FARM GROUND to Lease!

for 2019 ARC-County and PLC on covered commodities that met payment triggers on farms enrolled for the 2019 crop year. In addition to the $5 billion now in process, FSA anticipates it will issue additional payments by the end of November for 2019 commodities covered under ARC-Individual and additional commodities that trigger PLC and ARC-CO payments for which rates have not yet been published. Producers who had 2019 covered commodities enrolled in ARC-CO can visit the ARC and PLC webpage for payment rates applicable to their county and each covered commodity. For farms and covered commodities enrolled in 2019 PLC, the following crops met payment triggers: barley, canola, chickpeas (small and large), corn, dry peas, grain sorghum, lentils, peanuts, seed cotton and wheat. Oats and soybeans did not meet 2019 PLC payment triggers. 2019 PLC payment rates for the following covered commodities have not been determined: crambe, flaxseed, long and medium grain rice, mustard seed, rapeseed, safflower, sesame seed, sunflower seed and temperate Japonica rice. Payment rates for these commodities will be announced at a later date. Web-Based Decision Tools In partnership with USDA, the University of Illinois and Texas A&M University offer webbased decision tools to assist producers in making decisions using crop data specific to their respective farming operations. Tools include Gardner-farmdoc Payment Calculator, which offers farmers the ability to run payment estimate modeling for their farms and counties for ARC-County and PLC; and ARC and PLC Decision Tool, which allows producers to analyze payment yield updates and expected payments for 2021. For more information on ARC and PLC, persons can visit the ARC and PLC webpage. Additional questions and assistance is available at the local USDA service center.

Dear Annie: Many of the letters to you complain of ungrateful children and adults who don't send thank-you's, don't call, or who are otherwise ungrateful. Too often, children (aka future adults) are taught to be takers, not givers, so they don't build habits of giving, giving back, or sending replies. Let's change that. Starting early, let's teach children to feel joy as givers themselves. Teach youngsters to pack up a few of their too-small, but clean clothes, outgrown or neglected toys, already-completed puzzles, etc., and let them hand them go with you to drop them off at a local donation center or shelter in need. Designate a box for donations to always have somewhere in your house. When they receive a gift, help them write a thank you, help a tot to include inside a thank you a smiling face picture they have drawn. With grown kids, children or grandchildren, especially if they never or seldom reply, or if they just have a surfeit of "things," tell them you have sent a check to a charity in their name. They may then think to do the same. Take this as a lifetime project, and don't limit your own giving 10 DAYS

to family, etc., but reach out to the world, after a flood or fire or refugee situation. Include something in your seasonal letter about your joy in giving to some worthwhile organization (but check with Charity Navigator for the reliability of the charity, especially with money gifts). There are a great many needs near home or across the world. Let you be a giver! And encourage children, and others in your family and beyond, to do the same. -- Dick Nelson, Retired Counselor Educator Dear Dick: Fantastic advice that, if followed on a mass scale, would help create a more generous world.

sits at the table, staring, like a deer caught in the headlights. Other members of the family bring their young children, and those children are well-behaved. I've never had children or been around them so I'm already starting at an uncomfortable place. I need a tranquilizer after Thanksgiving dinner. It's my youngest brother and his wife, "Rose," who host the dinner, as they are the only ones with a big enough house. I confided in my Rose that it would be a much more peaceful celebration if they didn't invite Nick, Nora and their kids this year. Rose agreed but said that wasn't being a good Christian to not invite them. I told her that when Jesus said to turn the other cheek, he didn't say, "Let the person slap the heck out of you." Rose said, "What if Nora invites herself?" I answered it was all about what she wanted, and I wouldn't say anything else about it. What do you think? -- Fed Up with Thanksgiving Madness Dear Fed Up: Rose's house, Rose's guest list. I suggest you take up meditation or another calming practice between now and then and engage in said calming activity before heading to her house on Thanksgiving. If and when the noise gets to be too much, take your leave, and be grateful you only have to be in the middle of the hullabaloo for a few hours every year versus 24 hours a day.

Average ATM fee dips It’s still not cheap to access your own money, but the average fee to use an ATM dropped in 2020, according to a study by Bankrate.com. The group looked at bank practices in 25 large markets and found that the average ATM fee dipped to $4.64, the lowest level since 2016. The fees vary by region and bank. Atlanta had the highest average fee at $5.60 and Chicago the lowest at $4.11. ATM surcharge — the fee charged for noncustom-

ers using the machine — slipped a penny to $3.08 from $3.09 last year. That broke a streak of 15 consecutive years of increases in the average surcharge. Overdraft charges, though, hit a record high of $33.47, according to its survey. That is up from $33.36 last year. To avoid costly overdraft fees, keep close tabs on your checking account balance and link your checking to a savings account so that money can be transferred to cover any shortfalls.

Slight dip: Bankrate.com looked at the cost for accessing an ATM in 25 different markets. While the average ATM fee dipped slightly in 2020, it remains high over time. $5 ©2020 Tribune Content Agency, LLC All Rights Reserved.
