ESSAGE

Dear Fellow Members and Industry Supporters,

une was a very busy month, from folks branding calves in the rain, during what is normally a dry month, while others were keeping their livestock away from lightning caused wildfires a couple of weeks later; our state legislators passing, and the governor signing, a capital outlay bill which will create much needed jobs in the coming months, many weeks after the regular session ended; the President proposing and Congress voting on a number of bills that would set up long-term trade agreements with Pacific Rim nations without allowing those voting on the legislation to have adequate access to the bill language, and much less the American people who are impacted by these acts of law; and then there was the Supreme Court of the United States, making rulings on cases before them which made them look more like activists than constitutional lawyers. I was honored to be one of the judges at the Youth Ranch Management Camp which was held at the Valles Caldera in the Jemez Mountains. It was a pleasure to watch each presentation, delivered with confidence by Camp participants, who spent the week learning from a team of professionals the various aspects of ranch management including economics, herd health and fertility, range, watershed and wildlife management, among other topics. These teens showed us that given the opportunity, they would be capable of marking their brand on the ranches of tomorrow. Later in the month we held the Mid Year Cattle Growers’ Meeting in Ruidoso. It was well attended and we had many dynamic speakers who covered various topics of interest to the membership about the ever changing landscape that we must navigate to maintain functioning and profitable businesses. We even found time to enjoy a few laughs. Let us know your thoughts about the Ruidoso meeting, or send us a line to suggest a topic that you’d like to see covered at an upcoming event by emailing nmcga@nmagriculture.org Near the end of the month we learned that a bill, H.R. 2910, called the “Mexican Wolf Transparency and Accountability Act” co-sponsored by Representatives Pearce (NM) and Gosar (AZ) was introduced. The language may also be attached to the Fiscal Year 2017 Department of Interior Funding Bill This legislation would ensure that the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service’s (FWS) January 2015 Rule, implementing new regulations for the non-essential Mexican Wolf population, would be terminated. I for one applaud the congressmen for attempting to bring relief to the rural communities that are dealing with the negative economic and psychological impacts that are part of everyday life in wolf infested areas, and hope this legislation will be a catalyst for requiring the FWS to follow their statutory duty in developing a new recovery plan to guide their future actions regarding the Mexican Wolf. Around the same time, word came down that New Mexico’s Court of Appeals had ruled with a split opinion, that the New Mexico Workers’ Compensation Act which excludes farm and ranch laborers from mandatory coverage was unconstitutional as a state statute. The Court also found that “…the Workers’ Compensation Administration was on notice that the district court in Griego had declared the exclusion to be unconstitutional on March 30, 2012, and did not appeal that ruling”. Therefore, “The Court ruled that its decision will apply to any workers’ claims that were pending…” in 2012 or those filed thereafter. The impacts of this decision haven’t been fully quantified at this time, but I think it’s fair to say that ranches and farms are going to take a significant financial hit as a result of this ruling. New Mexico Cattle Growers’ Association will be working diligently in the coming days and weeks to plot a path forward and to find answers to the questions that will surely be posed. Without a doubt June was a busy month, and a fast trot became a full on gallop there at the end. Hoping you and yours had a blessed and patriotic Independence Day.

jingle jangle Shot in the Arm

make a motion that we rename our Summer Meeting to the “Booster Meeting.” If you were able to join us in Ruidoso you’ll understand my sentiment, if not let me explain. High schools have booster clubs to support their sports teams, kiddos get a booster shot to strengthen the efficacy of their vaccines, and CowBelles have a “Booster Meeting” to inspire our desire for BEEF promotion. This year’s shot in the arm came from two great Agvocates – our Man of Year and our Junior Beef Ambassador.

Lowell Catlett, immediate past Dean of NMSU’s College of Agriculture, Consumer and Environmental Sciences, was honored as New Mexico CowBelle’s 2015 Man of the Year. The award was presented by committee chair Barbara Wagner and Fita Witte, member of Mesilla Valley CowBelles, the nominating local. Prior to the presentation, Dr. Catlett gave a fascinating speech about why this is the best time in history to be in agriculture. Citing innovations in crop production, a hungry population that is growing in affluence and demands American agriculture products, especially

proteins, and a workforce that is shrinking in agricultural knowledge, Catlett posited that the world of agriculture was wide open. After all the negative press recently about animal agriculture it was refreshing to hear the positive side of our industry. The other breath of fresh air came from Rebekah McCarty, our Junior Beef Ambassador for 2015. She presented her speech titled “Agricultural Plight.” She won the State FFA contest with this speech and will be competing at the National FFA competition in Louisville, Kentucky in October. Hers was a compelling tale of the resiliency of farmers and ranchers and how they, more than anyone, have provided the foundation for the growth of this great country. After hearing her speak so continued on page 16

eloquently about the ag community we all felt she has a great shot at winning the National Junior Beef Ambassador competition. Unfortunately, due to changes at the national level, the Junior Beef Ambassador contest will be eliminated after this year. In fact, ANCW has made significant changes to the entire Beef Ambassador program. After this coming September, no longer will the Beef Ambassadors be chosen at a national competition. There will be regional contests to choose a winner from each region to make up the Beef Ambassador National Team. These contests will be held in conjunction with regional meetings, and as luck would have it, since New Mexico is hosting the Region VI Meeting next year (April 29 – May 1, in Las Cruces) we get to be the guinea pigs for the new system. Fortunately we have an experienced and enthusiastic committee chair in Shelly Hathorn, so the contest will be in good hands. In the meantime we thank Dr. Catlett for his years of service to the BEEF community and wish Rebekah, and our Senior

Beef Ambassador, Lauren Schlothauer, the best of luck as they compete in Denver in September. These stellar Agvocates are truly “making a difference” for the BEEF community. – Dalene Hodnett, President New Mexico CowBelles 575/649-0917 dalene.hodnett@gmail.com Corriente Cowbelles’ May meeting was called to order by President Ashley Ivins with eight members present. It was reported that Michelle Stearns joined and membership was up to 35. Scholarship Committee – reported that two Capitan students, Kalyn Hazen and Cheyenne Eldridge were presented with $500 scholarships. Each recipient was offered free membership and invitation to the family picnic. Fair Committee – dummy roping at the fair was tabled. This committee will address the Fair Board on May 20 to ask permission for the following: information table during sale, information table with raffle tickets for a set dollar amount of beef as the prize to be given during the beef cattle show as well as solicit brands for the quilt, donate napkins to buyers

dinner, provide table decorations for buyers dinner, and be sales stewards to help buyers through check out process. This committee will report by email, and at the July meeting. Farmer’s Market Committee – group decided to table. Quilt Committee – reported that six brand squares have been paid for, signup sheets will be at the fair, with deadline for submission September 1st. Family Picnic – Cedar Creek June 7th. It was decided to reimburse Ashley for paper goods and give T-shirt to each new member that pays dues at the picnic. Door prize ticket – members receive one, new receive three and additional at $1 each. It was decided to spend $50 at the In-KaHoots Shop to purchase a door prizes. There will be gunny sacks races, roping dummy, and props for a family photo center. Smokey Bear Days Parade – JulieAnne reported as successful. People wanted beef or jerky instead of candy. Five ATVs and a pickup truck were decorated. It was decided to offer Junior memberships to youth under the age of 18 at $2 each.

New Mexico’s Old Times and Old Timers

“Some Wild Times in Old Cimarron”

ccording to Ruben Cobos in A Dictionary of New Mexico and Southern Colorado Spanish, the word cimarron means “… a stray animal living in the wilds.” T. M. Pearce in New Mexico Place Names says the meaning of the word

was generalized to mean a wild or unruly person, as well as an animal. Will Keleher in The Maxwell Land Grant pointed out that Rocky Mountain sheep are known as carnero cimarron in Spanish. Cimarron, New Mexico, dates to the

1840s and the creation of the Beaubien-Miranda land grant, which became the Maxwell land grant. Lucien Maxwell built a house there in 1858. The town served as the seat of Colfax County from 1872 to 1882. The town was home to, or visited by, some of the most notorious thieves and killers of the late 19th century, including Clay Allison, Pancho Griego, Tom “Black Jack” Ketchum and his brother Sam, Harvey Logan, and Jesse James. Other less villainous visitors to Cimarron were lawmen Wyatt Earp, Bat Masterson, scout Kit Carson, Territorial Governor Lew Wallace, showman William F. “Buffalo Bill” Cody, Sharpshooter Annie Oakley, writer Zane Gray and artist Frederic Remington. The St. James saloon opened in 1873 and the hotel was added in 1880. Legend holds that 26 men were killed in the St. James Hotel. The area that made up the Maxwell Land Grant was virtually lawless well into the 1880s. What law there was, according to Will Keleher, amounted to a sheriff and deputies “[who] … were of necessity men who had made out their last wills and testaments and had otherwise arranged their worldly affairs.” Vigilante law was the rule rather than the exception. In the 1870s four stagecoach robbers known only as Henderson, Coal-oil Johnny, Joe McCurdy and Stewart operated in the area. Neither the law nor the vigilantes seemed able to do much to stop their thievery. The town finally offered a $3,000 reward for the capture of anyone caught in the act of robbing a stagecoach. Undeterred, Henderson and Coal-oil Johnny planned such a holdup. McCurdy and Stewart learned of their plan and set a trap. When Henderson and Coal-oil Johnny attacked the stage, McCurdy and Stewart attacked them, killing both. The bodies were hauled into Cimarron and the reward claimed. So much for honor among thieves. (This story was told in Black Range Tales by James A. McKenna. Efforts to further identify the robbers, and confirm the tale, have been unsuccessful.) Reverend F. J. Tolby, a Methodist preacher, was found murdered not far continued on page 24

from Cimarron on September 14, 1875. It was quickly determined that robbery was not the motive since Tolby’s horse and equipment were found near his body. The minister was a vocal member of the faction that opposed the owners of the Maxwell Land Grant (Lucien Maxwell had sold his 1,714,765-acre spread to an English syndicate in 1870 for $1,350,000). Tolby believed that the grant was actually owned by Apache and Ute Indians. He was also loudly critical of the so-called Santa Fe Ring. Territorial Governor Samuel Axtell offered a $500 reward, but the crime went unsolved. Then another preacher, Oscar P. McMains, undertook to bring the killer(s) to justice. His inquiries developed one Cruz Vega as a suspect and on October 30, Vega’s body was found hanging from a telegraph pole north of town. Before he died, Vega implicated Manuel Cardenas. It is unlikely that famed gunman Clay Allison was responsible for the hanging even though he greatly admired Rev. Tolby. Cruz Vega was not without friends and relatives. Local gunman and killer, Fran-

cisco “Pancho” Griego was Vega’s uncle. Earlier in 1875, Griego had killed one soldier and wounded two others in a gunfight in the St. James Saloon billiard room. It fell to Griego to avenge the death of Vega. On November 1, Griego confronted Clay Allison in the barroom of the St. James. Allison said later that Griego insisted on “quarreling.” Hotel owner Henry Lambert reported that Griego went for his gun first, but Allison was “smarter” and killed Pancho with two quick shots. Lambert was so unruffled by the fatal duel that he simply closed the bar and went to bed. No action was taken against Allison for killing Griego. But things had not yet been settled with regard to Manuel Cardenas. On the evening of November 10, 1875, after Cardenas had been bound over on murder charges at a preliminary hearing in Cimarron, he was taken from his guards while en route to jail, and shot to death. It was widely suspected that Clay Allison was one of the vigilantes, along with rancher David Crockett. (Crockett was the grandson, or nephew, of Davy Crockett who died at the Alamo in Texas nearly 40 years earlier.) No arrests were made in the matter of Cardenas’ murder, and no one sought to

avenge his death. But then, he was not well regarded in the community. He had previously been indicted for another murder, and not long before his death he had been publicly whipped in the Taos Plaza. Rev. McMains was subsequently arrested and charged with the murder of Cruz Vega. On a change of venue, a jury trial was held in Mora County nearly two years later. In August 1877, after due deliberation, a verdict was reached, and read: “We, the Jury, find the defendant guilty in the fifth degree and assess the penalty at three hundred dollars.” Judge Henry Waldo was obliged to set the verdict and sentence aside because it didn’t say what crime McMains had been convicted of committing. The charges against McMains were dismissed the following year, on a technicality. This is only a small sampling of the violence in the Cimarron area in years gone by. But it has been a long time since there was a shooting at the St. James, and it is still open for business, even though many believe the hotel is inhabited by a very active bunch of ghosts.

Lands News The topics this month are budgets, enviro lawsuits and toad roads.

Budget time

he House Appropriations Committee has approved the fiscal year 2016 Interior and Environment Appropriations bill. This legislation includes funding for the Department of the Interior, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Forest Service. The bill totals $30.17 billion in funding, a decrease of $246 million from last year and $3 billion less than the President’s request. Of interest to many, especially the counties, it includes $452 million to fully fund “Payments in Lieu of Taxes” (PILT). Also included is $3.6 billion for the Department of the Interior and U.S. Forest Service to prevent and combat wildfires. The bill also contains policy riders,

which the Committee says are “to stop job-crushing bureaucratic red tape and regulations at federal agencies…that stymie growth, hurt businesses both large and small, and damage the U.S. economy.” Let’s take a look at some of these riders. For the Department of Interior, there are policy provisions that: n Prevents the listing of the sage grouse under the Endangered Species Act, n Requires the de-listing of wolves in Wyoming and the Great Lakes from the endangered species list n Prevents the implementation of Secretarial Order 3310, issued on December 22, 2010 (Wildlands policy) n Requires a government-wide report on expenditures for global warming, and n Prevents the BLM from studying the consolidation of Arizona and New Mexico state offices

For EPA, the most talked about rider will prevent the enforcement of the waters of the United States (WOTUS) rule. In addition, there are provisions preventing any rules which require the reporting of green house gas emissions from manure management piles, and one that prohibits the regulation of lead content in ammunition or fishing tackle, and another that prohibits the use of funds to limit recreational shooting and hunting on federal lands. The Senate Committee on Appropriation has just passed their version of this bill, but I haven’t read the particulars. I believe they are good though. How do I know? Because Senator Tom Udall doesn’t like the amounts appropriated or the policy riders. I mean he really doesn’t like continued on page 35

OPEN GATE PROGRAM OVERVIEW New Mexico Department of Game and Fishâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s (NMDGF) Open Gate program is a voluntary program available to landowners that leases access to private property for properly licensed sportsmen and women to hunt, fish, or trap. Landowners who work with the NMDGF through Open Gate receive an annual lease payment and are provided liability protection from the State. Leases generally run for the duration of one license year; however, longer-term agreements that cover multiple license years may be available under some conditions. Open Gate works with landowners to create a customized lease agreement tailored to meet their individual needs and protect their interests. Landowners may specify the types of activities that are permitted on their property and dictate the seasons for which the property is open. Landowners may elect to lease some or all of their property. Access is permitted only on leased acreage during open seasons. Sportsmen are expected to act responsibly and comply with the rules when using an Open Gate property. Game Wardens patrol Open Gate properties during open seasons enforcing the rules.

The NMDGF can partner with a landowner through Open Gate to help pay up to 50% of the landownerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s costs for habitat improvement projects if they enter into a long-term hunting or fishing lease (5 years or longer).

renewed annually until available funds for the current year are expended. The NMDGF will prioritize leases that are located reasonably close to populated areas, in areas with limited access, and that have the potential to offer a wide variety of activities. All applications are evaluated by the NMDGF, prioritized and ranked depending upon benefits the proposed lease provides to the Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sportsmen and women.

Payments vary depending upon the opportunities that are offered, the quality of the habitat, and the location of the property. Payments are distributed at the end of the leased hunting, fishing, or trapping seasons. Landowners may withdraw from the program at any time, but payments will be prorated contingent upon the services provided.

Payments for a hunting lease are determined using a standard fee schedule that applies a per acre value to the lease based upon the hunting opportunities, habitat quality, and location. Payments for a fishing lease also are determined using a standard fee schedule that applies a value to the lease based upon the location, accessibility, size, type, and quality of fishing waters. Under some circumstance, Open Gate may pay for right-of-way across private property to gain access to large tracts of public land with limited accessibility. Lease rates for a right-of-way are determined by the number of acres the right-of-way opens for use.

them. “I cannot stand by and watch while our nation’s most important environmental laws are dismantled through policy riders that have no place in a funding bill” says Udall. Udall presented two amendments to the committee, one to raise the spending amounts and another to strip all riders from the bill. Both amendments failed to pass. And for those who thought the Republicans in the House would cut the budgets of the land management agencies, you needn’t worry. For instance, compared to last year, BLM has a $45 million increase in their budget. And speaking of BLM, during a recent Joint Legislative Hearing Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) told two federal land officials, “I come bearing good news. I think if your employees keep up the arrogance, keep denying access to the land then very soon we’ll be able to dramatically cut your employees back and start turning those powers over to the states.” We are with you on that Mr. Gohmert, whether or not they get their arrogance under control.

Enviros & Local Community

We’ve known this all along, but now we can put a number on just how much WildEarth Guardians and similar groups are costing rural communities.

Toad Road

There’s a newly installed mode of transportation to keep New Jersey’s threatened wildlife safe. Toads and other small animals have been hit while trying to cross River Road in Bedminster, so the township — with the help of the Department of Environmental Protection — installed a series of underground tunnels to help them get to the opposite side. The five tunnels run from the land next to the Raritan River to the grass and woods on the other side. Wooden fencing surrounds each tunnel entrance and lines the roadway, making the tunnels the only way for the animals to cross the road explains the local paper. I’m sure this will start a new trend. We are sure to have turtle turnpikes and frog freeways in our near future. Till next time, be a nuisance to the devil and don’t forget to check that cinch.

Montana switching wolf approach from monitoring to management State’s Top Wolf Expert Moves To Mexican Wolf Program ith gray wolves recovered in Northwest Montana, the state wildlife agency’s role has been moving from species monitoring to management, including hunting. One of the biggest elements of that change is the departure of Kent Laudon, the region’s top wolf expert who retired after a decade spent trapping, tracking and monitoring wolves in the Northwest Recovery Zone, which roughly spans the top half of Montana’s Rocky Mountains. He started working for Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks as the regional wolf management specialist in 2004, tasked with determining how many packs are in the area each year and how many wolves are in each pack. When he was hired, there was a minimum of about a dozen packs in his 15,000-square mile coverage area. By 2012, that number had grown to more

The WildEarth Guardians have been suing anyone and everyone over the years, always in the name of the environment. Well how about their impact on the local communities where they are filing these suits? Americans for Prosperity wanted to know and funded a study to find out. The study was done by Ryan Yonk, Ph.D., Department of Political Science and Criminal Justice at Southern Utah University and Randy Simmons, Ph.D., Department of Economics and Finance at Utah State University. “What our study found was a negative impact on household income (in) places where WildEarth Guardians are active,” Yonk said. Yonk said household income is $2,500 less in areas where WildEarth Guardians conduct “litigation for the wild.” “This approach is successful in meeting their own goals, but it comes at a cost to local communities,” he said.

than 60 packs, and it has remained relatively stable since. When Jim Williams, the regional supervisor of Fish, Wildlife and Parks, gave Laudon the job 10 years ago, he needed more than a skilled scientist. “The reason I hired him, he had people skills,” Williams says. “He knows how to talk with people and he had good relationship-building skills. He likes to have fun, but he’s also a darn good wolf biologist who knows how to catch wolves and how to find them.” Williams describes Laudon as a workaholic who will stay out in the field, camping overnight, until he gets the information he’s after. And prior to the 2011 delisting of the species within the state, wolves were an extremely controversial and emotional issue. “If you really want to be an effective resource manager, you have to really understand why people think a certain way, what roadblocks there are to people understanding,” Laudon says. “I’ve learned just as much about people as I have about wolves in this job.” And unlike the stereotypical scientist, Laudon is more than happy to spare the public — and tag-along journalists — the thick jargon of his field. “The way I look at wolves compared to other wildlife, they’re very signy critters,” Laudon explains, pointing out a wolf scat during a June 5 excursion into the Salish range behind Blacktail Mountain, where he’s looking for a pack that had denned in the area for the past several years. It’s a tracking strategy he affectionately refers to as “collar and foller,” using radio telemetry to locate a radio-collared individual, and thereby locate the pack. Out of an estimated 67 packs in his tracking area, about 12 have a collared wolf in them, helping Laudon cut down on the amount of time spent searching each pack’s roughly 200 square miles of territory. Using knowledge of the pack’s whereabouts from prior years, some are easy to locate, denning in the same place year after year to raise the latest litter of pups. Then it’s a matter of sneaking in undetected, attaching a wildlife camera to a tree, and sneaking out to later collect the SD card and count the number of pups and adults. But the pack he’s looking for has vanished to another spot this year, with only some old droppings scattered around to indicate they may have passed through a while ago. So now he begins winding up and down the dirt roads in his pickup truck, with a omnidirectional telemetry receiver mounted

to the top and occasionally causing periodic “bloops” to emit from the handheld radio into which he enters the wavelength. The stronger the sound, the closer the wolf — maybe. “You have to pay attention to the topography, too, it’s all about line of sight. The signal can bounce off of ridges and funnel up drainages,” Laudon says, bringing the truck to a halt. He plugs the radio into a hand held receiver that can tell direction, unlike the one on his truck. Standing in multiple spots, he slowly spins around until he finds the direction from which the signal sounds the strongest, then uses a map and compass to triangulate the signals. It’s time-consuming work and might fail to yield results in a single day. But without the radio collars, Laudon has to track the old-fashioned way, looking for scat, wolf kills and mud puddles that might contain a pawprint. “The whole job becomes 200 square miles, and where are the pups,” he says. “But once you have the pups, you have everything.” For Montana, it’s the end of an era for that style of wolf monitoring. In addition to the job’s needle-in-a-hay-

stack nature, the state’s new hunting and trapping seasons for wolves have made the job increasingly difficult. Laudon said the higher mortality rates for wolves mean that more alpha males and alpha females are dying each year, and the pack’s new alphas might have different notions on where to make their dens for the season. The 2014 wolf count estimated more than 700 wolves in the state, more than half of which live in Laudon’s counting territory. Statewide, 213 wolves were trapped or killed by hunters last year, down slightly from 231 in 2013. However, those numbers are up significantly from the first wolf season in 2009, when 72 wolves were harvested. “I think it was a tipping point for difficulty and do-ability,” Laudon says. “All the time you’re adding new packs, and packs are changing what they’re doing. Last season was very difficult. Up until then we tried to monitor the population, but we can’t do it any more.” Williams agrees, noting that wolves are now being managed rather than monitored. Going forward, he expects that surveys and population sampling will inform continued on page 209

Are water restrictions New Mexico’s future? NMSU professor says, probably

n May 5, California approved a 25 percent cut on water use in urban areas in an effort to conserve water after four years of intense drought. With these historic water restrictions, could New Mexico face the same future? “Probably. I don’t see this in the next five to 10 years, but it is definitely a look into the future for us,” said Bernd Leinauer, New Mexico State University professor and turfgrass extension specialist. “The issue in California is different than New Mexico because California is a much larger state, and California’s agriculture sector is bigger than New Mexico’s. It also has significantly larger population as well as bigger urban areas, like Los Angeles, San Diego and San Francisco, whereas New Mexico has one, Albuquerque.” Leinauer attended a conference in California last month where water restrictions, policies and solutions were discussed. “In my opinion, a lot of the solutions are just quick fixes, and they are not really addressing the major issue. City legislators and utility representatives single out turf and give the impression that turf is the only plant that uses water in the urban landscape. There are rebate programs in place that offer up to $2 per square foot if you remove turf. But what about tress or other landscape plants? There is no doubt that irrigation water is being wasted, but in order to address the issue a more balanced or holistic approach should be taken. That is something we can learn in New Mexico when we think about our future,” he said. In New Mexico 80 percent of water use is in the agricultural sector, where beef, dairy and pecans have the top spots for major products. Leinauer explained that there needs to be a compromise to save water for the future. This compromise will require an honest discussion if water should be re-allocated, for example to industry with jobs, and which are the best crops to grow and to maintain a healthy economic balance. Leinauer suggested it is also important, as time passes, to rethink water laws, and most importantly, irrigation systems. According to the New Mexico Department of Agriculture, “Irrigators hold approximately 90 percent of the state’s surface water rights; thus, other stakeholders interested in using surface water supplies must consider agricultural interests in any attempt to obtain water. Alternative uses of surface water include municipal, industrial, recreation, water to meet endangered species act requirements, interstate compact delivery obligations, and tribal water rights claims.” “Fifty percent of irrigation water in New Mexico could be saved continued on page 39

Water Restrictions continued from page 38

if we had better irrigation systems. We are still using irrigation systems that apply technology from the 1800’s,” Leinauer said. “The surface water we use in agriculture is down to 30 percent or less. We are now pumping groundwater and that is not an infinite water resource. As we are pumping more and more ground water, we have also noticed that our groundwater is getting more saline and drops in quality because we keep pulling in water from different areas such as aquifers that are just not good quality. Policies and laws need to address modern water needs and issues. The longer the drought goes the more intense these compromises will get.” Education is also a factor in how much water can be saved, Leinauer said. “People need be educated on the water requirements of the plants they have in their yards. For example, most residents over irrigate their lawns and waste water through inefficient sprinkler systems.” He added that using recycled water is an option, but the public is skeptical because they believe treated water might

be contaminated. “Look at Singapore. It is the world’s largest city, to this point, where they use recycled water for potable reuse,” he said. “Treated water can be used here in

New Mexico to water our backyards, golf courses and parks. At some point, something has to give. We cannot just keep moving forward and assuming it’ll all work out eventually.”

now. This is one of those take-a-deep-seatand-a-far-away-look moments that Daddy talked about. Agricultural trade organizations have been working on this issue for several years in the Legislature and have been successful in fending off legislative changes.

Clearly one cannot go back and purchase this insurance for the past three years, so ranchers and farmers are open to the liability of any claims going back that far. There is no way to tell how many claims there might be. Under the prevailing law until June 22, agriculture was exempt and any claims that were filed were rejected. No one can guess how many might be filed

Point continued from page 40

When that didn’t work, those trying to change the law moved to the courts. The way the litigation that brought us here was filed, there wasn’t ever a day in court for those being who will pay the price, quite literally, for it. There appears to be only two options open at the present time. The first is to appeal the ruling to the New Mexico Supreme Court in an attempt to have all or part of it overturned. The deadline for filing for writ with that court is July 22, 2015. Work is being done now to file before that date. A stay of implementation of the Appeals Court ruling will be requested, but there is no guarantee that it will be granted. If granted, a stay would prohibit action on the June 22 ruling until the state Supreme Court has ruled on the case. The second option is to work on legislation, which many legislators are willing to do. We just need to come up with the proper fix. That cannot take place until the Legislature in 2016. Additionally, the trade groups are looking into potential insurance options. There are several self-insured groups in the state as well as commercial insurance. There is a clause in the workers comp statute that says workers comp is required only for those employers who have three or more employees. However, the courts have muddied that issue to the point that we don’t even know what three might be. Bottom line, you need to be looking at coverage now. Then you might ask, how in the heck did we get here? Since the creation of the state’s workers’ compensation system in 1929, New Mexico, like numerous other states, has exempted agriculture from paying workers compensation insurance. When New Mexico’s entire workers comp system was overhauled by the New Mexico Legislature in the early 1990s, the body still saw the reasoning behind and the need for the exemption and retained it. It has long been the policy in this nation to maintain a cheap, yet wholesome, food supply. That policy has resulted in the favorable treatment of agriculture in economic matters. The agricultural sales system is like few others. Food is a commodity. When it is ready to go to market, ranchers and farmers are forced to take the price that is offered on that day. There is no warehouse to stack calves in until the price meets your needs and desires. This is a hard concept to explain to

someone who has always gotten their food at the grocery store or at restaurants without getting their hands dirty or taken any risk other than driving to these establishments. After dealing with the press on the issue recently, I certainly need to improve on the explanation. It is like I am speaking Greek … with all due respect to anyone who speaks Greek, is Greek or comes from Greek heritage or who is likely to become offended by this long-used expression. A group called The New Mexico Center on Law & Poverty (Center) hit New Mexico agriculture’s radar within the last decade. According to its website, it “is dedicated to advancing economic and social justice through education, advocacy and litigation. We work with low-income New Mexicans to improve living conditions, increase opportunities and protect the rights of people living in poverty.”

Sounds laudable, but what that has really meant is that Center has taken direct aim at agriculture in the guise of people in poverty. The group has made it clear from the beginning that it is after “big” dairies and row croppers. Unfortunately ranchers are acceptable collateral damage. As stated previously, the Center first went to the Legislature and the Workers Compensation Advisory Council. There were many ugly battles and lots of theater. Although they did eventually gain the support of the Advisory Council, the Legislature saw through their tactics. There was a working group mandated by the Legislature that ag representatives participate in for two years to no avail. Some ranchers and farmers already carry workers comp insurance to protect themcontinued on page 42

include housing, utilities, transportation, beef or groceries, and even telephone. Until the Affordable Care Act, some of these family operations provided health insurance for their employees. When all of this was explained to the Center by the most reasonable members

among us, the response was “Then open up your books to us.” Clearly, that wasn’t/ isn’t happening. In about 2009 the Center filed a suit (Griego) on behalf of injured ag workers in Bernalillo District Court. There was theater with that as well complete with a march on the court house in downtown Albuquerque. There were interesting comments from the marchers if you understood Spanish. (Again with the disclaimer of all due respect to anyone who speaks Spanish, is Spanish or Hispanic and so on…) At that point in time the Richardson Administration advised the Workers Compensation Administration (WCA) that the defense of the case would be handled by the Office of the Attorney General, then Gary King. Despite the fact that the case was filed in the wrong venue – WCA has its own judicial system set form by the 1990s reform legislation, the AG’s office didn’t file a motion to dismiss the case. Rather, without consulting ANYONE in agriculture, not even the Attorney General himself, the AG’s office stipulated to some 372 “facts” about agriculture and workers continued on page 44

comp insurance. Those “facts” included one that said the insurance would cost ranchers and farmers only one percent of their payroll cost and another that said that agriculture had routinely abused its’ workers for more than 100 years. With no defense at all the Bernalillo Court found in favor of Griego AND took it one step further. The judge ruled that the agricultural workers comp exemption was unconstitutional. That wasn’t within the purview of that court, but none the less the ruling was made.

By this time Richardson was gone. The Martinez Administration allowed the WCA to represent itself. WCA appealed to the Court of Appeals, but choose not to appeal the constitutionality part of the ruling. In late 2013 the Appeals Court offered a decision on Griego. Most of the case had been settled and had become moot, but the Court noted that there had been no challenge to the constitutionality question and that it thus remained open. Along the way the Center filed another case (Rodriquez) with the Workers Comp Court, the correct court. Because of the exemption, the case was denied. The Cen-

ter then filed an appeal with the state Court of Appeals. That is the case that generated the adverse ruling this past June. Like taxation without representation, ranchers and farmers have never had their day in court to defend themselves. The reality is that the National Council on Compensation Insurance (NCCI) estimates that for ranchers the cost of insurance should be between 17 and 19 percent of payroll. However, when ranchers have tried to purchase the insurance the cost was more like 25 percent of payroll with some companies providing estimates as high as 35 percent. The rates are lower for other ag operations, but still will probably be 10 percent or higher. Nowhere near the one percent the Center claimed and the AG’s office agreed to. The NCCI rates are a nation number for established insurance pools. There will have to be pools developed in New Mexico over as much as a five-year period based on “experience ratings” before rates here will even approach the national numbers. In small groups, just one accident can drive the cost of the insurance up for everyone involved dramatically. Other business groups offer trainings to their members that may aide in reducing costs and workplace accidents. Those are being explored by agricultural groups. Another thing to remember is that under workers comp, you can no longer take an injured employee to the doctor and/or hospital and pay directly for the required care. ALL claims must be filed with the WCA. This is a long story but it is not over yet. Please watch the New Mexico Cattle Growers’ Association website at www.nmagriculture.org , the Facebook page and future issues of the Stockman for more information. Sorry…there is no room for any good n news this month.

Sanchez, Parker Summer Interns for Cattle Growers

ena Sanchez, Chama and Hannah Parker, Albuquerque, are working as summer interns for the New Mexico Cattle Growers Association (NMCGA). “We are so glad to have both of these young women on board for the summer,” said NMCGA President Jose Varela Lopez, La Cieneguilla. “They are very capable and hard working, and have jumped right in to our busy and always-changing schedule and made good hands.” As interns, Sanchez and Parker are helping with all aspects of the organization, from day-to-day office operations, to helping with the NMCGA’s recent Mid Year meeting in Ruidoso, to attending meetings, and more. Sanchez is a senior at the Native American Community Academy in Albuquerque. After graduating, she plans to attend New Mexico State University to study Animal Science. She says that working for the NMCGA has been an educational experience. “I am really enjoying my internship,” she said. “We just finished the Mid Year meeting, and I sat in on some of the sessions. I am gaining a lot of experience.” Sanchez has ranching in her background on both sides of her family, and her uncles Bob and Lindberg Velarde run cattle on the Jicarilla Apache Reservation. She attended the New Mexico Youth Ranch Management Camp at the Valles Caldera National Preserve this summer. She is active in the Intertribal Agriculture Council, which hosts conferences and meetings for youth, and was one of three youth essay winners at this December’s conference in Albuquerque. In July, she will attend its Youth Leadership Summit in Fayetteville, Arkansas. She is the daughter of Alfredo Sanchez of Blanco and Stacy Sanchez of Albuquerque. Hannah Parker, Albuquerque is a senior at New Mexico State University (NMSU), and will graduate next May with a degree in Agriculture and Community Development. She has an interest in advocacy and policy work, and is planning to come back and help the NMCGA during next year’s legislative session. “I have always been involved in student government, and am very interested in how the different agricultural organizations come together to work for a common cause,” she said. “I am also very interested in the way the organization works, with everything being mem-

ber-driven, I have never seen that before.” Parker is a Chi Omega at NMSU, and has been in charge of student body elections for several years. Last year, she started a philanthropic event – Aggiethon - which is a 12-hour dance marathon to raise money for the UNM Children’s Hospital which raised $15,000 in its first year. Parker graduated in 2012 from Sandia High School and is the daughter of Tom and Laura Parker of Albuquerque. “It’s very encouraging to see these young people’s interest in and enthusiasm for what we do,” Varela Lopez said. “We hope that they enjoy their time with

us, and maintain their connection to the land and agriculture as they pursue their futures and careers.” The NMCGA has represented the ranchers in New Mexico and the West since 1914 and has members in all 33 of the state’s counties as well as some 19 other states. The Association participates in venues necessary to protect beef producers and private property rights including litigation, state and federal legislation and regulatory affairs.

Dead Sheep

here’s been a dead sheep out in Brent’s wheat field for a month. Emilio had a band of ewes on the corn stalks across the road. I reckon that one got hit by a car. The sheep have moved on. Brent plowed his field. Plowed around the carcass. Now it is sort of mouldering into the earth. I see it every time I drive to town. Nobody pays much attention to it. It’s rural out here. But we had company last week. Town folks. They seemed a little upset that we’d just drive by a dead sheep day after day and not give it a second thought. It reminded me of my trip to the nation’s capital. The parks and sidewalks speckled with people, beggars and winos. I couldn’t help but notice them. Where do they live? How much do they make a day holdin’ out a cup? Do they sleep in the park? When I expressed my concern about these ragged folks, the locals seemed surprised. They hadn’t given it much thought, they said. Welfare or the soup kitchens, they guessed. This human flotsam was just part of the landscape, like bus fumes and potholes. I wonder what sort of furor would erupt if there was a dead

sheep at the corner of 9th St. and Pennsylvania Avenue? Would they just haul it off or would there be an investigation? Would it be a police matter, the State Department, Department of Agriculture, the local human society? In small towns a homeless person stands out like a dead sheep on the White House lawn! I would like to think they would be offered help. I do know they wouldn’t fade inconspicuously into the woodwork. They would, at the very least, get a lot of attention. They might even get arrested as vagrants! Sometimes country compassion comes with a price, “We’ll get you fixed up and get you a job.” Maybe, just maybe, some of these drifters don’t want jobs. Maybe they prefer the anonymity of big cities where no one cares, but at least no one makes any demands. Do people become more civilized when they move to the city? Or do they become more civilized when they move back to the country? I don’t know the answer to that. But I guess I could go drag that ol’ sheep off. I thought if I waited long enough the coyotes or United Way would take care of the problem. ‘Course maybe the sheep likes it there.

Steelman joins Purina Animal Nutrition research team

urina Animal Nutrition announces the hiring of Samantha Steelman, Ph.D. as a senior scientist on the research team at the Purina Animal Nutrition Center in Gray Summit, Mo. Steelman’s knowledge of animal health began on her neighbor’s farm and in the equine show ring as a child. Throughout her academic career, she expanded that knowledge base from animal science into human medical science. She holds a bachelor’s degree in equine science from Colorado State University and a master’s degree in animal science from Texas A&M University. Steelman earned her Ph.D. in medical science while studying human cardiovascular physiology and the effects of stroke on cerebral vascular structure at Texas A&M’s Health Science Center. Prior to joining Purina Animal Nutrition, Steelman worked as a postdoctoral research associate at the Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences. Her work focused on using functional genomics to study equine laminitis. “Steelman’s experience with animals and in research will be a strong addition to the Purina Animal Nutrition Center team,” says Cindie Luhman, Ph.D., vice president of research and development with Purina Animal Nutrition. “Her work will support our commitment to doing what’s best for animals, our commitment to research innovation and the continuous improvement of our nutrition solutions.” In her role at the animal health research laboratory, Steelman will lead a team that studies how nutrition impacts the health and immune systems of animals of all species. To date, more than 24,000 studies have been conducted at the Purina Animal Nutrition Center, and tens of thousands of ingredient and nutrient combinations have been evaluated to create the best animal feed. This is just scratching the surface of understanding all the ways proper animal nutrition contributes to efficiency, productivity, longevity and health of animals. “Growing up with Arabian horses, I knew Purina Animal Nutrition as an iconic brand and a trusted name,” says Steelman. “I could not imagine working anywhere else. I am happy to add my knowledge and energy to the team.”

Man-Made Drought: A Guide To California’s Water Wars by U.S. REPRESENTATIVE DEVIN NUNES, NEWS.INVESTORS.COM

n the summer of 2002, shortly before I was elected to Congress, I sat through an eye-opening meeting with representa-

tives from the Natural Resources Defense Council and several local environmental activist groups. Hoping to convince me to support various water restrictions, they argued that San Joaquin Valley farmers should stop growing alfalfa and cotton in order to save water — though they allowed that the planting of high-value crops such as almonds could continue. Then, as our discussion turned to the

groups’ overall vision for the San Joaquin Valley, they told me something astonishing: Their goal was to remove 1.3 million acres of farmland from production. They showed me maps that laid out their whole plan: From Merced all the way down to Bakersfield, and on the entire west side of the Valley as well as part of the east side, productive agriculture would end and the land would return to some ideal state of nature. I was stunned by the vicious audacity of their goal — and I quickly learned how dedicated they were to realizing it.

For decades, extreme environmentalists have pursued this goal in California with relentless determination. The method they have used to depopulate the targeted land — water deprivation — has been ruthless and effective. Much of the media and many politicians blame the San Joaquin Valley’s water shortage on drought, but that is merely an aggravating factor. From my experience representing California’s agricultural heartland, I know that our water crisis is not an unfortunate natural occurrence; it is the intended result of a long-term campaign waged by radical environmentalists who resorted to political pressure as well as profuse lawsuits. Working in cooperation with sympathetic judges and friendly federal and state officials, environmental groups have gone to extreme lengths to deprive the San Joaquin Valley, the heart of much of the U.S.

Man-Made agricultural production, of much-needed water. Consider the following actions they took: The Central Valley Project Improvement Act: Backed by the NRDC, Sierra Club and other extreme environmental groups, large Democratic majorities in Congress passed the CVPIA in 1992 after attaching it to a must-pass public lands bill. The act stipulated that 800,000 acrefeet of water — or 260 billion gallons — on the Valley’s west side had to be diverted annually to environmental causes, with an additional 400,000 acre-feet later being diverted annually to wildlife refuges. Smelt and salmon biological opinions: Lawsuits filed by the NRDC and similar organizations forced the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the National Marine Fisheries Service to issue, respectively, biological opinions on smelt (in 2008) and on salmon (in 2009). These opinions virtually ended operation of the Jones and Banks pumping plants — the two major pumping stations that move San Joaquin River Delta water — and resulted in massive diversions of water for environmental purposes. The San Joaquin River Settlement: After nearly two decades of litigation related to a lawsuit filed in 1988 by the National Resources Defense Council, Sierra Club and other environmental groups, San Joaquin Valley agriculture organizations agreed to a settlement in 2006, later approved by a Democratic Congress and signed into law by President Obama. The settlement created the San Joaquin River Restoration Program. The program, which aims to create salmon runs along the San Joaquin River, required major new water diversions from Valley communities. Despite warnings from me and other California Republicans, agriculture groups naively approved the settlement based on false promises by the settlement’s supporters that Valley water supplies would eventually be restored at some future, unspecified date. Groundwater regulation: In September 2014, California Gov. Jerry Brown approved regulations requiring that water basins implement plans to achieve “groundwater sustainability” — essentially limiting how much water locals can use from underground storage supplies. But these pumping restrictions, slated continued on page 54

to take effect over the next decade, will reduce access to what has become the final water source for many Valley communities, which have increasingly turned to groundwater pumping as their surface water supplies were drastically cut.

A Litany Of Hypocrisy

As radical groups have pursued this campaign to dry up the San Joaquin Valley, it’s worth noting some of their stunning contradictions, hypocrisies, fallacies and failures: “There’s not enough water in California”: Environmentalists often claim that the California water crisis stems from the state not having enough water to satisfy its rapidly growing population, especially during a drought. However, the state in fact has abundant water flowing into the Delta, which is the heart of California’s irrigation structure. Water that originates in the snowpack of the Sierra Nevada Mountains runs off into the Delta, which has two pumping stations that help distribute the water throughout the state. But on average, due to environmental regulations as well as a lack of water storage capacity (attributable, in large part, to activist groups’ opposition to new storage projects), 70 percent of the water that enters the Delta is simply flushed into the ocean. California’s water infrastructure was designed to withstand five years of drought, so the current crisis, which began about three years ago, should not be a crisis at all. During those three years, the state has flushed more than 2 million acrefeet of water — or 652 billion gallons — into the ocean due to the aforementioned biological opinions, which have prevented the irrigation infrastructure from operating at full capacity. “Farmers use 80 percent of California’s water”: Having deliberately reduced the California water supply through decades of litigation, the radicals now need a scapegoat for the resulting crisis. So they blame farmers (“big agriculture,” as they call them) for using 80 percent of the state’s water. This statistic, widely parroted by the media and some politicians, is a gross distortion. Of the water that is captured for use, farmers get 40 percent cities get 10 percent and a full 50 percent goes to environmental purposes — that is, it continued on page 56

gets flushed into the ocean. By arbitrarily excluding the huge environmental water diversion from their calculations — as if it is somehow irrelevant to the water crisis — environmentalists deceptively double the farmers’ usage from 40 percent to 80 percent If at first you don’t succeed, do the exact same thing: Many of the Delta water cuts stem from the radicals’ litigation meant to protect salmon and smelt. Yet after decades of water reductions, the salmon population fluctuates wildly, while the smelt population has fallen to historic lows. The radicals’ solution, however, is always to dump even more water from the Delta into the ocean, even though this approach has failed time and again. The striped bass absurdity: If the radicals really want to protect salmon and the Delta smelt, it’s a bit of a mystery why they also champion protections for the striped bass, a non-native species that eats both salmon and smelt. Hetch Hetchy hypocrites: The San Francisco Bay Area provides a primary support base for many environmental groups. Lucky for them, their supporters don’t have to endure the kinds of hardships these organizations have foisted on San Joaquin Valley communities. While the radicals push for everharsher water restrictions in the Valley, their Bay Area supporters enjoy an unimpeded water supply piped in across the state from the Hetch Hetchy reservoir in Yosemite National Park. This water is diverted around the Delta, meaning it does not contribute to the Delta’s water quality standards. Environmental groups have conveniently decided not to subject Hetch Hetchy water to any sort of litigation that would cut the supply to the Bay Area. We’re from the government, and we’re here to help: Government agencies that catch smelt as part of scientific population measurements actually kill more of the fish than are destroyed in the supposedly killer water pumps. Hitchhiking salmon: The San Joaquin River Settlement is estimated already to have cost taxpayers $1.2 billion — and it’s clear to me that the total price tag will likely exceed $2 billion — in a disastrous effort to restore salmon runs to the San Joaquin River. Moreover, the settlement legislation continued on page 57

defines success as reintroducing 500 salmon to the river, which means spending $4 million per fish. The salmon, which have not been in the river for more than half a century, have proved so incapable of sustaining themselves that agents have resorted to plucking them out of the water and trucking them wherever they are supposed to go. It is a badly kept secret among both environmentalists and federal officials that this project has already failed. A man-made state of nature: The radicals claim they want to reverse human depredations in the Delta and restore fish to their natural habitat. Yet the entire Delta system is not natural at all. It’s a man-made network of islands that functions only thanks to upstream water storage projects. In fact, without man-made storage projects, canals and dams, in dry years such as this the rivers would quickly run dry, meaning there would be no water and no fish.

What could the beef industry do differently? Fifty years ago I graduated from college, and the beef mortality was high. The tools we have today help some but they are not enough. People fib about their calf mortality rate and breeding time schedule. With all the tools modern herdsmen have at their disposal, why can’t they do as well as other cloven hoof creatures? They deliver an offspring that stands as soon as it hits the ground and begins to suckle right away. All cloven hooved animals have no trouble with weak offspring except for western cattle. Take the following test: 1. How many calves did you wean? 70% - 80% - 90% - 101%? 2. How many of your cows have been sold because they didn’t conceive during a sixty or ninety day breeding schedule? 3. How many calves were treated with medicine in the first two weeks of life? 4. How many calves have you given colostrum? 5. How many breech births, retained afterbirth, or prolapsed uterus’ have you had?

If you are using a bull with a weak loin and he’s posed up on a hill or a mound of soil, you are canceling out calving ease. There is more to calving ease than a large pelvis and a small birth weight because that is just a band aid fix for calving. There is much to learn about calving ease, read William Boyd Tegtmeier’s book to acquire more knowledge. What a disaster it has become for the western world of cattle! 209-840-1449 • 209-840-1805 kingspade108@gmail.com

A Three-Step Solution

The radicals have pursued their plan methodically and successfully; between the CVPIA, the biological opinions, and the San Joaquin River Settlement, around a million acres of farmland have been idled. What’s left of the water supply is inadequate for sustaining Valley farming communities: South of the Delta, we now face an annual water supply deficit of approximately 2.5 million acre-feet, or 815 billion gallons. In fact, with the state groundwater regulations announced last year, the radicals are poised to achieve their goal. The depletion of groundwater is a direct effect — and indeed, was an intended result — of the radicals’ assault on our surface water. (After all, if farmers, churches, schools and communities can’t get surface water, they’ll predictably resort to ground water.) But the radicals have perversely cited the groundwater depletion they themselves engineered to justify regulating the groundwater supply. This is the final step in their program, since many farmers will not be able to keep growing food if they continue to receive zero water allocations and are restricted from tapping enough ground water. The Valley cannot endure this situation much longer, but the good news is that it’s not too late to save our communities. Led by the Valley’s Republican delegation,

6. Have you had to treat for uterine infections? 7. How many calves did you have to sell because they were underweight or did not fit the 60- or 90-day breeding schedule? 8. Wouldn’t you like to have calves born in a 60– or 90–day period or less? 9. Does your calving schedule leave you exhausted?

My Cowboy Heroes by JIM OLSON

“Jessie Stahl

First Black Bronc Rider” ”

First Black Bronc Ricer

ost everyone has heard of Bill Pickett, the man credited with inventing the bulldogging event of rodeo. Bill was also the first black man to be inducted into the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum Hall of Fame and is often referred to when people talk about historical black cowboys. A lot of people may think Bill was about the only black man to make a name for himself in those early days of Wild West Shows, Stampedes and Rodeos because he garnered so many headlines. Arguably however, one of the best bronc riders of all time was another black man, Jesse Stahl. Jesse was a professional bronc rider from the early 1900s through the late 1920s. Things he did while riding a bronc are the stuff legends are made of and are still talked about to this day. Not a lot is known about Jesse’s childhood. Most reports say he was born in Tennessee sometime between 1879 and 1883. Others say he was born in California or Texas. What we do know is he had a brother named Ambrose who also rode broncs.

Rodeo Historian, Willard Porter, wrote about Jesse, “He was a tremendous athlete—quick, coordinated and physically able to respond to the unpredictable action of rough stock.” Jesse competed in bulldogging, steer (or bull) riding and bronc riding. He became legendary however for his bronc riding skills. We first hear of Stahl at a big-time show in Salinas, California in 1912. The attendance of that event was reported at around four-thousand spectators. It was the first time Cowgirls were included in the performance and it was also the first time a black man performed there. One of the highlights of the show was reportedly none other than, Jesse Stahl, riding a bad bucker named, Glass Eye. After being awarded third place, Stahl climbed aboard again, on an exhibition horse who had a bad reputation as well. He rode this bronc facing backwards! Why did he ride this exhibition horse? Why did he ride facing backwards? Although Salinas was the first big show we hear of Stahl riding at, he had proba-

bly been competing at smaller venues for quite some time before. Stahl later became known for his famous exhibition rides. He usually did this facing backwards or with a suitcase in his free hand or on occasion in tandem with another black cowboy, sometimes George Fletcher or Ty Stokes, in what was dubbed as the “Suicide Ride.” Many felt he did these outlandish exhibitions just to prove he could ride better than anyone else. Other reasons have also been given. It has been said that Jesse was mostly remembered for winning (or earning) first but placing third. Accusations abound that Jesse was never placed higher than third by judges because of his skin color and prejudices of the day. Many have reported that Stahl put on these extraordinary exhibitions to mock the judges for their placing decisions. Perhaps skin color had something to do with being placed third when everyone else thought he placed first, but if he was truly mocking the judges, that probably did not help either. It is also said that some white cowboys would refuse to compete if Jesse was entered. Perhaps because of prejudice and Stahl’s reputation as one of the best bronc riders around, these men did not want to enter because they thought it would make them look bad if they were bested by a black man. This could be another reason Stahl rode so much in exhibition. Producers desperately wanted Stahl to ride in their shows because it pleased the public. It has been speculated they could make everyone happy by paying Stahl to ride exhibition horses instead of competing. To mock Judges for perceived bad decisions? To prove he was the best? Because of prejudice and segregation? All of the above has been suggested as reasons why Jesse Stahl rode so many exhibition horses while preforming wild stunts at the same time. What ever the reason may be for the extraordinary rides, they have become fodder for numerous tales and legends. After a long and colorful career in which he made headlines from New York to California, the great Jesse Stahl retired from bronc riding in 1929. Most rodeo historians say he was one of the best ever. He died in Sacramento, California in 1935. The first well-known black bronc rider, was posthumously inducted into the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum Rodeo Hall of Fame in 1979. Making him the second black cowboy (after Bill Pickn ett) to receive such an honor.

the U.S. House has passed legislation twice that would bring a long-term end to the water crisis. The solution comprises these three simple measures: • Return Delta pumping to normal operations at federal and state pumps. Because normal pumping levels are already paid for, this measure would cost taxpayers zero dollars. • Fix the San Joaquin River Settlement. Instead of continuing to spend hundreds of millions of dollars on an unworkable scheme to recreate salmon runs, we should turn the San Joaquin River into a year-round flowing river with recirculated water. This approach would be good for the warm-water fish habitat and for recreation, and it would save taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars that will otherwise go down the salmon-run rat hole. • Expedite and approve construction of major new water projects. This should include building the Temperance Flat dam along the San Joaquin River, raising Shasta dam to increase its reservoir capacity, expanding the San Luis Reservoir and approving construction of the Sites Reservoir in the Sacramento Valley. Because water users themselves should rightfully pay for these projects, they would cost federal taxpayers zero dollars. These measures would not only end the water crisis, they would improve the environment for fish and wildlife — all while saving taxpayer dollars.

The Price of Inaction

I warned of the likely outcome of the radicals’ campaign in my testimony to a House committee back in 2009: “Failure to act, and it’s over. You will witness the collapse of modern civilization in the San Joaquin Valley.” That is indeed the grim future facing the Valley if we don’t change our present trajectory. The solution passed twice by the U.S. House, however, was blocked by Senate Democrats, who were supported by the administration of Gov. Brown as well as the Obama administration. These Democrats need to begin speaking frankly and honestly with San Joaquin Valley communities, and with Californians more broadly, about the effects of idling 1.3 million acres of farmland. This will ruin not only Valley farming operations, but will wipe out entire swathes of associated local businesses and industries. continued on page 192

NMSU to co-host Acoma Agriculture Resource Day in July

earn ways to make farming and ranching sustainable and enjoy the flavors of a chile cook-off at the sixth annual Acoma Agricultural Resource Day on July 24. Beef Quality Assurance training will be offered on Thursday, July 23, in conjunction with the ag day. Both events will be presented by New Mexico State University at the Acoma Pueblo Auditorium on Pinsbaari Drive in Skyline-Ganipa.

The events are part of NMSU’s Southern Pueblo Beginning Farmer Rancher program, conducted by Cooperative Extension Service agents with the Rural Agricultural Improvement and Public Affairs Project. “The sixth annual Acoma Agriculture Resource Day will have an array of workshops to help farmers and ranchers to be sustainable in their operations,” said Joseph Garcia, Extension pueblo agriculture agent with RAIPAP. The annual Acoma Ag Day will be held from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday, July 24. The program includes presentations on pasture and alfalfa management, chile production, solar power, horse care and livestock vaccinations; updates by U.S. Department of Agriculture agencies and

the Acoma Natural Resource Department; and a chile cook-off. Marcy Ward, NMSU Extension livestock specialist, will present the Beef Quality Assurance training from 6 to 8 p.m. July 23. “Producers will learn good management practices to successfully raise cattle with the highest possible meat quality,” said Tory Hougland, NMSU pueblo agricultural agent. “Becoming BQA certified increases the marketing capabilities of cattle producers, enabling them to increase their profits. All cattle producers are invited to attend this training.” A free lunch is offered on Friday, with door prizes awarded throughout the n day.

ver the past few years, interest in aquaculture and aquaponics (a food production system that combines aquaculture and hydroponics) in particular has grown significantly in New Mexico. The prospect of growing two crops (fish and vegetables) simultaneously in a sustainable, recirculating, low water use system has fueled this interest. Tilapia is one of the most widely cultivated freshwater fish in the world, second only to the carp, and is considered to be the most important aquaculture species of the 21st century. Reasons for its widespread use in aquaculture include its ability to grow well at high densities in the confinement of tanks and its tolerance of fluctuating water conditions. Additionally there is a great deal of information available on the biology and culture of tilapia both in recirculating systems and ponds. Tilapia has become one of the more popular seafood entrees in the U.S. As the total demand for seafood continues to increase, and wild catch has reached maximum sustainable yield, aquaculture products have filled the growing demand. Global production of farmed tilapia continues to increase and has outpaced all other species, including farmed salmon and catfish. Among the top ten seafoods consumed in the US, tilapia is fourth after shrimp, tuna and salmon. U.S consumption of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;aquatic chickenâ&#x20AC;? as tilapia is often called, from domestic and imported sources continues to increase at a rate of 20 percent per year. continued on page 65

continued from page 64

Because tilapia is so amenable to tank culture, and because of the growing demand for tilapia in the U.S., it is the first species people turn to when considering the propagation of fish for commercial or personal consumption. It is the logical choice for aquaponics growers interested in culturing a food fish that is widely consumed and easy to grow. Unfortunately, state laws regarding the importation and propagation of tilapia in New Mexico have long been a source of frustration to aquaponics and aquaculture growers alike. The importation and culture of tilapia, a species that is non-native to New Mexico was forbidden, and new applications to the New Mexico Game and Fish (NMGF) for permits to grow tilapia were denied. That is all about to change with the passage of House Bill 201 in April. In February of this past year, House Bill 201 was introduced by State Representative Alonzo Baldonado of Valencia County. The bill proposed to amend Section 17-2-3 NMSA 1978 Subsection C to add tilapia to the list of protected species regulated by the state game commission. The NMGF had determined that HB 201 would have no negative budgetary impact on the department and could provide some economic benefit to the state by facilitating the growth of the aquaponic/aquaculture industry. NMGF affirmed that by adding tilapia to the list of protected species in New Mexico, the species could be managed to protect native flora and fauna while allowing potential economic growth in the aquaponics/aquaculture industry. The bill was passed almost unanimously by both the Main House and the Senate and was signed into law by Governor Martinez in April. The law will come into effect on July

1 of this year. With the passage of the bill and the increasing number of inquiries regarding rearing fish for personal or commercial consumption, it had become clear to the NMGF that the existing regulatory framework was inadequate to address this issue in a way that both protects New Mexico’s natural resources but also allows economic development of the aquaculture/

aquaponics industry. It was apparent that there was a need for a reevaluation of the existing rules related to the propagation of fish species in New Mexico. The rules were reviewed and proposed amendments to the existing rules were made. The NMGF has proposed changes to the Importation Rule (19.35.7 NMAC) and the Class A Lake Rule continued on page 223

“Dedicated To A Tradition of Integrity”

HESE ARE THE GOOD OLD DAYS!

A couple of years ago we predicted right here on these pages that, despite dwindling livestock numbers and scant moisture, better days were ahead for the livestock industry. Well, we usually hate to say “I told you so,” but in this case we’re happy to say it. Heck, we’re happy to yell it from the roof top! And guess what? These good times are going to be around for a while. Thanks to God for the rain and the law of supply and demand, we’ll likely be seeing a growing industry and historically high prices for some years to come. We’re all obviously extremely grateful for our good fortune, but the advice we offered two years ago is as true today as it always has been: “...stay strong and stay proud as did our forefathers...” and “Our strength as an industry and as as a community, depends on our strength as individuals.” Let’s remain ever-vigilant to protect our rights and our way of life. We’ve had to work hard and fight for what we have, in good times and in bad; these truths will never change.

THANK YOU! MIKE CORN Manager

Let’s remain ever-vigilant to protect our way of life.

George Curtis,INC.

REGISTERED ANGUS CATTLE

eorge and Vera Curtis came to New Mexico as small children in the early 1900s. Their parents, arriving in a covered wagon, homesteaded in rural Quay County, New Mexico, on the Llano Estacado. Forrest, New Mexico, was the nearest place of commerce, a community built around a rural schoolhouse where their children of the 1920s and 1930s era received their education. George heard of the Aberdeen Angus breed, and much improved genetics that the breed was known for, and made the decision to acquire a registered Angus herd of his own. Traveling across the U.S. in search of the best genetics that money could buy turned out to be quite an adventure for Mr. Curtis but also a memorable quest for the Curtis children of the era. George Curtis and his youngest son James V. Curtis accepted the challenge of competing with the other top Angus breeders of the 40s and 50s at numerous State and regional competitions including the Denver and Ft. Worth livestock shows. When James V. Curtis (Rip) returned from his world travels, sponsored by the U. S. Air Force, with his wife, a North Carolina native and Air Force registered nurse, Thelma, the Curtis team resumed their Angus breeding venture. As cutting edge technology became available in the form of artificial insemination and embryo transplant, the Curtis family began to utilize these new tools to improve the herd focusing on the genetic traits that most needed improvement both in the industry and on the Curtis ranch. George Curtis’ passing in 1977 and his son’s passing in 1994 left the responsibility of sire selection and herd genetics to the present generation of Curtises. Tamara, Blake and Tye Curtis still operate George Curtis, Inc. today. The Curtis family takes pride in completing three generations in the Registered Angus cattle business. Our pledge is to continue to meet our customers’ expectations of excellence. The easy calving, top gaining, moderate framed stock that the Curtis family has been known for in the past is still available today at George Curtis Inc.

The Rectangular States of America

espite hating mathematics in general, there was one math class I liked: geometry. I think this is because I have always liked shapely forms, if you get my drift! Couple this love of geometry with the fact that I have visited every state in the nation and you can see how I developed a hypothesis that has come to be known in scientific circles as Lee’s Law of Rectangles. Simply “stated” it says, “The more rectangular a state is the better that state is to live in. My theory has pretty much replaced Plato’s Principle of O’s which judges the worthiness of a state by the number of O’s there are in its name. Residents of New Jersey and Texas may have noticed that they come up short in both their shape and spelling, but before Texans fly off the handle please hear me out. In my Shape of the Union Address I explained that people who live in nearly rectangle states live longer, enjoy life more, have fewer body piercings, less freeway congestion, far fewer high speed police pursuits on the freeway, less random gunfire in their neighborhoods and fewer residents with the last name of Kennedy. Whereas people who live in states with shapes that look like flattened roadkill are far more likely to know what arugula is, are more apt to live in two bedroom shacks that sell for two million dollars, have more big cities where rude people live, and are far more likely to think that “getting back to nature” means a walk through Central Park followed by a mango smoothie. While my theory may be bad news for folks who live in New York and West Virginia, it does speak well of states shaped like nearly perfect rectangles including New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado, Kansas, South Dakota, North Dakota and Wyoming. There are many states, like Nebraska, that only need a bit of tidying up around the edges and they too would be perfect. There is a corollary to Lee’s Law of Rectangles that hypothesizes that the closer a state comes to being a square the more “square” its people are. And I mean that in a good way. Take Iowa and Utah for example. Square off Iowa and cut the top off Utah and they’d be perfect squares;

Riding Herd BY LEE PITTS

friendly, polite, old fashioned, slower paced, earthy and boring. You know, “squares”. All we need is to realign some boundaries to bring many states into alignment. Take Idaho and Montana for example. In my opinion, they are two of our better states, and if we’d just cut off a bit of western Montana and give it to Idaho both states would become almost perfect rectangles. By cutting off the bottom of Indiana it too would become more rectangular. All Tennessee needs is to stand up straight, as it is now it is more like a parallelogram, if I remember my geometry correctly. Put Vermont and New Hampshire together and they’d also be square, although I don’t know that their citizens would get along. Cut the panhandle of Oklahoma off and it really would be OK. Oregon, Washington, Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia and Pennsylvania just need a few cosmetic changes to become rectangular but for states like Massachusetts, Louisiana and Florida I’m afraid there little hope that we can shape them up or straighten them out. I happen to be a fifth generation Californian and I’m afraid my state may be too far gone to save, but I feel a person should stay where he was born and try to fix what’s wrong, rather than move to Idaho, Oregon and Colorado and ruin those states too. My solution for California is to make a square new state out of northern California and where it starts to turn kinky, right around San Francisco, hope for a timely earthquake along the San Andreas fault which would shear off the liberal coast from the agrarian interior. There is one BIG exception to Lee’s Law of Rectangles and that’s Texas. It’s one of my favorite states but it breaks all the rules. I’d love to live there but how would it look for the originator of Lee’s Law of Rectangles to live in a state that looks like it was gerrymandered by a committee of drunk Democrats and shifty-eyed Republicans?

Lifting Ban on Exports Could Reduce Gas Prices MARSHAL WILSON, THE DAILY SIGNAL

et again, the push is on to lift the 40-year-old ban on exporting crude oil. Yet again, opponents claim this would be a disaster â&#x20AC;Ś that prices would climb, availability would be threatened and the strategic advantages of holding onto our oil would be discarded. But what Americans need to understand is that lifting the ban probably would reduce prices at the pump, that American refineriesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;set up for the heavier crudes we import from Venezuela, Mexico, Canada and the Middle Eastâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;are ill-suited to process the lighter, sweeter crudes produced by Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fracking and horizontal drilling explosion, and that government retains its dismal record for picking economic winners and losers. Moreover, the legislation recently reintroduced by Rep. Joe Barton, R-Texas, to effectively eliminate export restrictions on crude oil not only would ease logisti-

cal problems within the oil and refining industries, it would reduce the U.S. trade deficit, create jobs, increase wages and encourage investment, all of which are good for the economy. Fracking and horizontal drilling have enabled the U.S. to increase its domestic production of liquid fuels to 9 million barrels per day, up 4 million barrels per day since 2006, and enough to lead the world in fuel production. But refining capabilities have not kept up with the rising production of domestic crude that is different than the type of oil refiners in the U.S. typically manage.

Bottom of Form

Domestic oil is lighter and sweeter than the heavier oil typically imported. Sweet crude includes more sulfur than sour crudes and thus costs more to produce and lowers the value of end products of the oil. But lighter crudesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;light v. heavy is determined by the â&#x20AC;&#x153;American Petroleum Institute (API) Gravityâ&#x20AC;? rating, which compares the weight of the oil to the weight of waterâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;are more valuable because they are easier to produce and less costly to process.

ity Office study, Americans could save up to 8 cents per gallon if crude were exported. Light sweet crudes produce a range of higher value-added products with simple distillation and are generally more expensive than heavy crude. Before the shale boom, refiners in the U.S. invested tens of billions of dollars to handle the heavier crudes from Mexico, Venezuela and the Middle East. Domestic refiners that can process light crude have reduced their imports substantially, and a number of companies have made investments to handle more light crude. But it is not nearly enough to handle the excess of light sweet crude coming out of the ground. The lack of efficiency for American refineries to handle light sweet crude in addition to burdensome restrictions on exports forces oil companies to offer their crude at a discount or reduce production. The discounted crude as a result of the ban concentrates benefits to refineries when they buy crude at depressed prices, refine it then sell the finished products on the global market at higher prices. This is why lifting the ban on crude exports would reduce, rather than increase, prices. Refined products produced in the U.S., such as gasoline and diesel fuel, are available to the global market, but crude oil is not, so the glut of crude oil is not now holding down prices. If that crude were available on the world market, prices would fall, which would mean lower gas prices for Americans. According to a Government Accountability Office study, Americans could save up to 8 cents per gallon if crude were exported. In addition, according to an IHS study, lifting the ban would create 394,000 more jobs on average from 2016 to 2030 with a peak of 964,000 jobs in 2018, increase government revenues by $1.3 trillion from 2016 to 2030 and increase Americansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; household income by $391 per year in 2018. The public gets this. That is why a recent poll by FTI Consulting found â&#x20AC;&#x153;69 percent of registered voters surveyed favor allowing oil exports.â&#x20AC;? This is not your fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s energy economy. The landscape of the 1970s, or even the 2000s when Americans were importing two-thirds of their energy, simply does not exist anymore. The benefits of the innovation brought to us by a free market approach to energy exploration should not be allowed to go to waste because of outdated rules.

REAL ESTATE GUIDE

FROM THE BACK SIDE

Global Climate Warming Change by BARRY DENTON

have always been curious as to what the suicide rate is among scientists because they are wrong so often. After all, dentists have a higher suicide rate because no one likes them. Take my friend Joe for instance, he is about eighty now and has been a rocket scientist for over 50 years. He says that being wrong became a way of life for him and he was able to get used to it. I truly admire how well he handles it. Joe says that he had to come to grips with himself early on especially after he got married. His wife, God bless her, made sure that he knew he was wrong most

of the time at home. Finally to get some inspiration each week he attended church on Sunday with a hell fire and brimstone preacher. In a 20 minute sermon this preacher convinced Joe that he was going to Hell each week. Joe the scientist was just an average American that worked hard, provided for his family, and made his community better through his work. However, as you can see he was wrong most of the time. Joe was truly a brilliant scientist and climbed the ladder easily in his company even though he was wrong. Being wrong was Joe’s life. Once in awhile Joe would have a success. Normally it was a large success that would catapult him to stardom and national acclaim. The company he worked for always blew the successes out of proportion to gain contracts from governments. A few years later he would find out that his large success was actually wrong again. I always admired Joe the scientist, because he would never quit trying and he never committed suicide. Along the way he would occasionally discover minor things that were right and this was enough for Joe. He stayed the course and enjoyed the quest.

JULY 2015

If you read enough history people are always trying to convince you that the world is going to end and you should panic. It is remarkable that they have a world of theories that never quite come to fruition. When you question them about this, they claim that some dynamic beyond their control has postponed the end of the earth for awhile. There is the other set of doomsayers that studies an extinct race such as the Mayans. For some reason they are convinced the Mayan calendar accurately predicted the end of the Earth. Why would you think an extinct race would have the answers to the universe? I was perplexed the other day when Pope Francis embraced climate change. I am not sure why anyone that believes in God would believe in climate change. It is quite apparent that man does not control or affect the weather. It looks like running the world’s weather is still up to God in my estimation. According to the Bible if the world ends you have nothing to fear if you believe in God. Does the Pope know something we do not? If you study the weather a little you will find that it pretty much runs in 25 year cycles since humans have been recording it. Common sense tells us that when one part of the world is suffering disasters another part of the world is having their best year ever. There is always a balance. We also know that man might be able to mess up the earth once in awhile, such as an oil spill. However, nature takes over and those areas come back to life. I am alarmed that man is so arrogant that he thinks he has the power to destroy the earth. Do you remember the cover of Time Magazine in the early 1970s? It was predicting the impending ‘Ice Age’ within 30 years. Scientists were predicting that the ice would once again take over the earth and humans would be destroyed. Now we have Al Gore and his cohort scientists telling us about global warming. We are all going to be saved because we eliminated the incandescent light bulb from our lives. Anyone see a pattern here? Mr. Gore is involved with a company that makes the proper items to save you from global warming. Do you see a political agenda here? Create a crisis and then profit from it. I consider that pretty low. If you waste time worrying about dying when will you live? Besides, in my estimation God will not destroy the earth any time soon as he does not know what he would do with all those mules arriving in n heaven at the same time.

father in owning and operating a cattle ranch in Sonoita. Fred Baker was a conservationist in deed and spirit, as a natural consequence of his stewardship of the land as a rancher. In 1974 he was named Arizona’s Range Manager of the Year, awarded by the Society for Range Management. He was appointed to seven gubernatorial commissions, among them the Arizona Governor’s Rangeland Advisory Council, the Governor’s Commission on the Arizona Environment, and the Arizona Game & Fish Commission. Fred served the cattle industry in numerous capacities, including as president of the Southern Arizona Cattlemen’s Protective Association. In 1985, Fred transitioned from ranching into real estate, joining Headquarters West Ltd., where he would later be a co-owner. As clerk and chair of the Board of Trustees for the Sonoita School District and as a director of the Santa Cruz County Fair & Rodeo Association, he promoted education and recreation in his community. He served on the Empire Ranch Foundation Board of Directors, chairing their bylaws and nominating committees, and sharing his ranching expertise. Fred is survived by his wife of 43 years, Virginia H. Baker, and their three children, H. Robert Baker, Katherine Hamilton Baker, and Frederick William Baker, and also by his daughter, Rebecca Clark, and his niece, Carey Baker. Burnard E. Milligan, 72, Reserve, passed away at home on March 23, 2015, surrounded by the love and comfort of his family. Burnard was born in Morenci, Arizona, on June 3, 1942. He was raised in Apache Creek on the family ranch and made his home in Reserve where he and his wife raised their family. He lived his life as a rancher, heavy equipment operator, and service station owner. He enjoyed hunting, fishing, taking care of his cows, and spending time with his grandchildren. He is survived by his wife of 53 years, Lena Armstrong Milligan; his step-mother, Helen Milligan, his children Carolyn (husband, Carl) Livingston, Yvonne Milligan, Tommy (wife,Lan) Milligan, Ron (wife, Jennifer) Milligan, 13 grandchildren and six great-grandchildren.

was born October 28, 1943 in Hugo, Oklahoma, the second son of Joe H. Adair and Ruth Nell (Neill) Adair. He attended school in Boswell, Oklahoma, until the family moved to Hagerman, New Mexico in 1959 where he completed his junior and senior years, graduating from Hagerman High School in 1961. Raised on a ranch, always surrounded by horses, Bobby knew from an early age that he wanted to be a jockey. But his schoolteacher father insisted that he graduate from high school before leaving for a racetrack. Immediately after getting his high school diploma, Bobby headed 95 miles west to Ruidoso Downs to get his start as soon as possible. In the summer of 1961, he worked as a groom at Ruidoso Downs where he met young trainer Donald Stewart who gave him his first opportunity to gallop horses and was instrumental in helping Bobby get his jockey’s license. Bobby won his first race in 1962 at Garfield Downs in Enid, Oklahoma. In the course of his career he raced at numerous venues across the country from upstate New York to Ohio, Kentucky, Kansas, and throughout the West. However Bobby spent the bulk of his riding career in California. It was at Los Alamitos where Adair was the undisputed riding king, and was known simply as “The Master.” He held every important riding record at the track including most wins, most stakes victories and most wins in a single meet. It was aboard the legendary Kaweah Bar that he won 32 races and scored some of his most memorable triumphs, including the 1972 Los Alamitos Championship. In the course of his 22-year career in horse racing, Adair was continued on page 191

the nation’s leading quarter horse jockey for five consecutive years, and was the first jockey to be inducted into the American Quarter Horse Association Hall of Fame. He won some 3,000 races. In 1984, Bobby sustained a career-ending injury, a shattered right shoulder as a result of a fall in a fog-related collision involving several horses in a race at Los Alamitos. Bobby still ranks 8th in wins among the more than 550 jockeys who have raced at Los Alamitos, and still ranks 4th in stakes victories. Following his accident, Adair worked for Los Alamitos, Santa Anita and Hollywood Park as an outrider. But for all of his accomplishments as a jockey and all of the individual accolades none of those achievements were greater than the simple pleasure he took in the horses themselves. He loved roping, and was successful, winning numerous ropings all over the West, including the US Team Roping Championship at the national finals in Oklahoma City, in 1997. Bobby met Linda Coffman in the winter of 1963 and they were married on May 14, 1964. He is survived by Linda, continued on page 192

Are you a farmer, rancher, food grower, farmworker? Do you, or someone on your farm or ranch have a health condition, limitation, aging issue, or disability that affects working in agriculture? If growers so, researchers at the University of New Mexico-Occupational Therapy Graduate Program would like to invite you to participate in a survey. We are trying to learn more about the kind and number of health related issues being experienced among food growers. Your participation will involve answering survey questions that ask about health issues, activity limitations, impairments, or disabilities. The survey should take about 20-30 minutes to complete. Your involvement in the study is voluntary, and you may choose not to participate. There is no identifying information associated with this survey. The survey includes questions such as “What health conditions do you have?” You can refuse to answer any of the questions at any time. There are no known risks in this study, but some individuals may experience discomfort when answering questions. All data will be kept for three years in a locked file in Dr. Wilhite’s office and then destroyed. The findings from this project will provide information on farmer and rancher health issues that may lead to future services or interventions to improve farmer health. If published, results will be presented in summary form only. If you have any questions about this research project, please feel free to call Dr. Wilhite at (505) 272-3324. If you have questions regarding your legal rights as a research subject, you may call the UNMHSC Office of Human Research Protections at (505) 272-1129.

their daughter Julie Adair Stack (husband, John), Rowland Heights, California; his brother Buddy, Westbrook, Texas, and brother Rod Adair (wife, Dana), Roswell. He is also survived by many nieces, nephews, cousins, and countless friends, as well as one surviving aunt, Geraldine Hughes, Boswell, Oklahoma. Ruth Nell Adair, 96, Hagerman, passed away on May 22, 2015. She had been ill for some time. Born November 2, 1918, at her family’s home in Boswell, Oklahoma, Ruth Nell was the eighth of nine children born to Joe M. Neill and Cleo Annie (Grise) Neill. Her parents were natives of Kentucky, arriving in Indian Territory around the turn of the century. In the summer of 1932, when she was 13, her mother died of appendicitis, leaving those children remaining at home to live with friends and relatives. She graduated from Boswell High School in 1936. On December 25, 1939, she married Joe H. Adair. They lived in several teacherages in the 1940s as he taught school in a number of small communities, including one-room school houses, and as Ruth Nell also taught school under an emergency war-time

teaching certificate. Thereafter, Ruth Nell was a stay-at-home mother of four on the small ranch they had purchased together in 1946. In 1959, they moved their family to Hagerman. Ruth Nell worked at Irby Drug Store and then Wallace Drug Store in Hagerman until 1970. Throughout her life, she was a devout Christian, and a devoted Southern Baptist. Ruth Nell was married to Joe for almost 68 years. They had four children. Her surviving children are Buddy Adair, Westbrook, Texas; Rod Adair (wife, Dana), Roswell. She is survived by her sister, Geraldine Hughes, Boswell; eight grandchildren, and nine great-grandchildren. She is also survived by her beloved daughter-in-law, Kathy Johns, (husband, Les), Eufaula, Oklahoma. She leaves behind many nieces and nephews, extended family and friends with whom she was close, especially Maxine Dennis, Hagerman, for whose help, comfort, caring and assistance the family is both indebted as well as grateful. The family wishes to thank all the staff of Casa Maria of Roswell, as well as Gentiva Hospice in Roswell for all their care and assistance. Herbert Donald Smith, 84, Storrie Proj-

The damage is not limited to the Valley. Although residents of coastal areas such as Los Angeles, the Bay Area and San Diego have been led to believe they are being subject to water restrictions due to the drought, that’s not actually true. As in the Valley, these areas and many others ultimately depend on the Delta pumps for their water supply. If the pumps had been functioning normally for the past decade, none of these cities would be undergoing a water crisis today. And it’s a safe bet that Brown’s mandatory water reductions will not alleviate the crisis, leading to a drastic increase in restrictions in the not-too-distant future. Watering your lawn, washing your car and countless other everyday activities will be banned up and down California. In their mania to attack Central Valley farming, the radicals are inadvertently running the entire state out of water.

Endgame

Many organizations representing California agriculture, including water districts and — shockingly — even some San Joaquin Valley cities and counties, became part of the problem instead of the solution, having lent no support to the House-passed water bills. Suffering from a strange kind of Stockholm Syndrome, many of these groups and agencies hope that if they meekly accept their fate, their overlords will magnanimously bestow a few drops of water on them. This mousy strategy, which willfully ignores what the radicals are really trying to achieve, hasn’t worked out well for growers of almonds and other high-value crops. Although the radicals had been promising them a free pass back when the groups met with me in 2002, these growers have now become the radicals’ primary scapegoat for the water crisis. This condemnation is reflected in articles such as The Atlantic’s “The Dark Side of Almond Use,” The Guardian’s “Alarm as Almond Farms Consume California’s Water,” and Bloomberg View’s “Amid a Drought, Cue the Almond Shaming.” Sadly, the end is near for communities whose land will be forced out of production. One hopes the affected families will eventually find a more welcome home in some other state where those who wield power appreciate folks who grow our food instead of demonize them. continued on page 193

Man-Made continued from page 192

But for now, the pitiless, decades-long assault to deprive them of their livelihoods is hurtling toward its apex. Meanwhile, many of those capable of advancing a solution are content to wring their hands, blame global warming and continue whistling past the graveyard. Agriculture groups, water districts and municipalities that refuse to support the two House-passed bills owe their constituents an alternative solution that will resolve our water shortfall. Water bureaucrats who ignore or oppose the most

prominent, viable solutions while offering no alternative are, in effect, complicit in the radicalsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; long struggle. They should publicly declare which land ought to come out of production and which Valley industries should be eliminated since they have no proposals to steer us away from that outcome. The Valleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s critical situation today demands unity around constructive solutions. To paraphrase Benjamin Franklin, we must all hang together, or we will surely all hang separately.

Veterinarian Shortage Leaves U.S. Vulnerable to Animal Illness Outbreak by BRIANNA EHLEY, THE FISCAL TIMES

n obscure federal agency within the Department of Agriculture that is tasked with responding to widespread animal illnesses like—mad cow disease—doesn’t have a strategy in place to respond if such an outbreak occurs. That was the alarming conclusion from a new Government Accountability Office report that says the USDA’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service or APHIS is severely understaffed and lacks “a detailed plan to augment or train its workforce to respond” to a dangerous epidemic. The GAO said the agency, as well as other components of USDA and the Department of Health and Human Services do not have enough animal doctors employed—there are about 624 at APHIS and 2,000 government wide. The report said that to respond to a national outbreak, it would likely require an estimated 6,000 veterinarians. The auditors blasted the agency for not vetting its animal doctors and not preparing an emergency animal health

plan. In April 2015, the Centers for Disease and Control announced a dangerous potentialcanine influenza A H3N2 virus that was responsible for an outbreak of dog flu reported in the Chicago area. Though it appeared to be contained, these are the types of outbreaks that the GAO fears would not be able to be suppressed in the event of a national outbreak. The USDA and HHS employ the majority of the federal government’s veterinarians that are responsible for inspecting food as well as monitoring wildlife for diseases and testing animal feed and medicine as well as probing into human outbreaks stemming from animal illnesses. The GAO has even designated the agency as a “high-risk” government area for personnel shortages that could result in risks to public health. The issue has been around for years and auditors said that the USDA has taken some steps to address planning practices and personnel shortages. In 2009, the Office of Personnel Management “granted government-wide direct-hire authority to enable agencies to hire qualified veterinarians without regard to certain federal hiring requirements,” the auditors said. Still, the shortages remain and more needs to be done. The USDA agreed with the auditors recommendations.

Agricultural Women Meet, honor “Diamonds in the Rough”

ALC a Mile in Our Boots was the theme of the eleventh Women in Agriculture Leadership Conference (WALC), held recently in Albuquerque. Over 200 women from across New Mexico’s agricultural industry came together to discuss current issues, network, and honor outstanding women in the group. This year Gloria Jean Petersen was honored by the group with the Diamond in the Rough award. This award is given at each conference, recognizing outstanding women in New Mexico agriculture and highlighting her efforts and contributions. As the oldest of nine during the Depression and World War II, Gloria Jean Petersen’s agriculture responsibilities developed early. The family depended on chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, sheep, cattle, horses and what could be harvested from the ground for daily survival. At the young age of 16,

she became a Candy Striper at the local Minot hospital in DeLac, ND. She worked her way up to becoming a registered nurse at the age of 20 and married in 1955. Throughout their 58 years of marriage, she and Donny raised six children, cattle, hay and grain in North Dakota, Saskatchewan, Canada and most recently, New Mexico. In the early 1970s Gloria became certified in artificial insemination and pregnancy checking cattle. This began her involvement in crossbreeding, eventually transitioning into European exotic breeds, such as Charolais, Simmental and Limousin which have now become foundation herds. The Petersens were considered pioneer ranchers in Southern Saskatchewan and had a huge influence on genetics in the area. Understanding the need to preserve the land, Gloria and her husband Donny, signed up with the Prairie Farm Rehabilitation Administration, prior to NRCS, and planted 100,000 trees as part of a wind erosion project. She has actively participated in EQIP and CSP projects through NRCS in Sierra County.

and she’s active in Chamiza Cowbelles. She is responsible for bringing the NM Beef Council’s Kids, Kows and More program to Sierra County and is hosting an Ag Day at the Petersen Ranch this year. She is truly a lifelong advocate for agriculture and has spent her lifetime farming, ranching, educating and conserving agriculture for the next generation. Rachel Armstrong, Grady; Beverly Butler, Deming; Lyn Greene, Claunch; Debbie Hughes, Carlsbad; Kristi Johnson, Cuervo; and Brenda Simpson, Grants were also nominated for this year’s award. This conference, held every two years in different locations around the state, draws women from all types of agriculture. “Today’s agricultural women are integral parts of their families’ agricultural operations, in addition to their traditional roles,” said Caren Cowan, Conference Co-Chair. “At these conferences, women are given information about issues that are impacting us all, and encouraged to get involved however they can, whether it’s attending a local county commission meeting, talking to a state legislator, or writing a letter to the editor. Every year, we in agriculture become more and more of a minority, and we need to make sure our voices are heard.” This year’s program provided tools for effective communication with social media, conflict management and bridging the generational divide, all of which enabled the participants to empathize with those around them. Participants heard presentations from the NM Department of Agriculture, NMSU Cooperative Extension Service, and American Farm Bureau, and heard an inspiring story of keeping a positive attitude when faced with challenges by Amberley Snyder, CINCH Rodeo Team n Member and wheelchair user.

Hallford Recognized as One of Country’s Best Animal Science Professors

ew Mexico State University’s (NMSU’s) Dennis Hallford, PhD, was recently listed as one of the top 20 Animal Science professors in the country by vettechcolleges.com. Hallford has been teaching anatomy and physiology classes in NMSU’s Animal and Range Sciences Department to both undergraduate and graduate students for the past 40 years, and the recognition is no surprise to his students. “My junior year, I signed up for Anatomy and Physiology taught by this new professor. From the first day I was awestruck,” said Mel Gnatkowski, Ancho. “His classes were rigorous, demanding and practical. He has a way of making the complex understandable and making it apply to real life. That fall, I made it my goal to take every class he offered all the way through the masters program.” “I had nothing but good experiences with Dr. Hallford,” agreed Tammy Kincaid, DVM, Hope. “He is extremely smart, and it is so enjoyable to listen to his lectures. He has a way of making learning fun. He gave us a good solid background, and definitely made vet school easier for all of us who

went through his classes.” In addition to teaching, Hallford manages NMSU’s Rambouillet flock, housed on campus. The sheep are mainly used for research projects, looking at the seasonal breeding of sheep and increasing reproductive efficiency. NMSU also has a farm flock of primarily Suffolk sheep and a herd of range sheep at the Corona Range and Livestock Research Center. Hallford also manages NMSU’s endocrinology laboratory. Although the majority of Hallford’s research has been on sheep production, he has also worked with cattle through the years. Last year, he was named Interim Department Head, which he said was an eye-opening experience, and he served in that capacity until July 1. Although he says he is eyeing retirement, he is scheduled to teach two classes this fall, and one in the spring. The friendly atmosphere is one thing that is unique about NMSU’s Animal and Range Sciences Department, he said. “Many of us came out here in our twenties, and we all grew up together. I think that’s why we work so well as a unit. This is a remarkably collegial place for people to work.” Hallford says he spent his first four years at NMSU strictly teaching undergraduates, then at the urging of his department head, started doing some Agricultural Experiment Station research, which involved continued on page 207

working with graduate students. “When someone asks me what I do, my answer is that I’m a teacher. That’s what I enjoy,” he said. “Teaching students, helping them with research, then taking results to producers and relating our research to their operations. The most valuable aspects of the past 40 years for me have been my relationships and interactions with students and producers.” “There was always a group of us studying together for his classes. He had the same effect on all of us, he inspired us,” Gnatkowski noted. “I suspect that Dr. Hallford’s lasting legacy will not be the knowledge communicated through his classes, but his students who became good teachers because they experienced a truly great teacher who showed them how it is done.” Hallford grew up on a small farm south of Abilene, Texas. He received his bachelor’s degree in general agriculture from Tarleton State University in 1970, a master’s degree in animal science from Oklahoma State University in 1973, and his PhD in animal breeding/reproductive physiology from OSU in 1975, before starting his career at NMSU. He and his wife, Marilyn, who works in the Department as an editorial assistant, have one daughter, Amy, who lives in Las Cruces with her husband, Brian Kord, and two daughters Shelby and Sophie. Throughout his career, he has served in many capacities, including Rodeo Club, Block and Bridle and PreVet Club Advisor; Chair of the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee; University Research Council; Section Editor and Division Editor of the Journal of Animal Science; Western Section American Society of Animal Science (ASAS) President and Director; and on the ASAS Board of Directors. Hallford has also received many awards, including the New Mexico Wool Growers’ Inc. (NMWGI) Amigo Award, the NMSU College of Agriculture and Home Economics Distinguished Teaching, Research, Service and Outstanding Club Advisor Awards, OSU’s Animal Science Advanced Degree Graduate of Distinction, and the Western Section ASAS Distinguished Service Award, and NMSU Regents Professor. “It has been a pleasure for me to both work with and be a member of both the NMWGI and the New Mexico Cattle Growers Association,” he noted. “I hope to continue those relationships long into the n future.”

Coyote Problems: Part Two Difficult to Get Funding for Predator Control by HEATHER SMITH THOMAS

ome states have a combined state and federal program that helps with predator control. For instance, more than half the trappers in Utah are state employees, and funding for predator programs is split between state and federal, augmented by producer matching funds. Utah has had a head tax—25 cents per head collected by the brand inspector at the time of sale on cattle—and this is used for the predator program. There’s also a 75 cents per head on wool sales, collected by the wool warehouses.

The federal agency gets 59 cents of that, to help manage the predator program. In addition to that, there is a predator damage control fund, where individual producers pay in and the state sets money aside to help match whatever the producers put in, up to $150,000, which puts it up to $300,000. This helps fund the aerial hunts for coyotes. Utah often uses helicopters instead of planes to fly over summer ranges in the mountains where they can’t safely use a plane. The planes are used for the flatter country, but the match money is used in the mountains for the helicopters, which is more expensive. With producers paying into it, and the federal and state money, this helps stretch the money a lot farther—with everyone contributing.

program has very good support from the livestock community in Utah. The predator problem in that state is huge and if the ranchers had to deal with it by themselves it would break them. They are operating on very small profit margins, so every loss cuts into this. In Wyoming, livestock producers help pay for predator control in every county, but funding is still sometimes short. Losses vary from year to year, partly due to the differences in the amount of predator control that can be accomplished. Due to budget cuts, some years there is not adequate control. The most critical time is during lambing and calving, and coyotes are a constant problem. Each Wyoming county has a predator management board that sets the price for predator control that is added onto every brand inspection. Most of the predator districts also participate in a state predator management program—money given by the legislature for this purpose. To participate, the predator districts charge $1 per head for cattle and for sheep, and are then eligible to request grant funding for control measures within their district. This money can be used for aerial hunts, ground crews, or whatever is needed. Most counties have contracts with the USDA Wildlife Services, and can call them into certain areas where there are problems. Gene Hardy is one of the ranchers who has been on the Wyoming Animal Damage Management Board (ADMB). This 15-member board includes cattle and sheep producers, sportsmen, urban representatives, game and fish, BLM, Forest Service, etc. “Each county has a predator management board which obtains funding in various ways. A long time ago it was done with a tax; you turned in your number of livestock to the county assessor, who gave them an evaluation, and you paid that in the taxes—money that was set aside for predator management. That system didn’t generate enough money for adequate predator control, however, so it was changed to where you pay a predator fee, charged whenever an animal changes hands—at brand inspection,” says Hardy. “But a few years ago the predator boards were basically broke. Fees were not high enough to keep up with costs of predator control, and also the livestock numbers decreased dramatically due to drought conditions. So we went to the legislature nine years ago to get money from the Wyoming Board of Agriculture. That money is continued on page 212

Despite the organized opposition’s outrageous rhetoric and relentless attacks, the grass roots movement for local control has been so successful that seventeen States and the U.S. Congress have now initiated legislation in favor of turning federal lands over to willing states. Fifty western counties and numerous organizations have issued official statements of support. Many have donated time and resources to the effort and more are joining every day. Obviously the idea of thoughtful, accountable, locally driven stewardship of our public lands makes sense to a growing number of people. Many of us realize Montanans would make wiser choices for our lands than distant decision makers in Washington, DC. We could become a more self-reliant state with better public access, environmental health, and economic productivity on our public lands. And that seems to scare some very powerful, very wealthy bullies who prefer federal control of Montana. I won’t be bullied.

hunting quotas, replacing the monitoring work that prevailed when the species was listed as endangered. “We’re in a different place than we were 10 years ago,” he says. “Wolves are at a point now where we can use a system where we can talk to hunters and trappers and fill in those blanks on the map to know where there are wolves.” Williams isn’t sure whether Laudon’s position will be filled. He expects it will be, but the job description likely will change to reflect a different set of priorities, such as post-delisting reporting requirements to the federal government and working on other wildlife programs. With his work finished in Northwest Montana, Laudon is headed to Alpine, Arizona, where he’s starting a job with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service monitoring populations of Mexican wolves, an endangered subspecies of the gray wolf which was nearly extirpated in the 1970s. Williams says he’s happy for Laudon but still hates to see him go. “Our loss is the Mexican Wolf Project’s gain.” By Samuel Wilson — The Daily Inter Lake

Briggs Joins Cattle Growers’ & Wool Growers’ Staff

licia Briggs, Albuquerque, recently joined the staff of the New Mexico Cattle Growers’ Association (NMCGA) and New Mexico Wool Growers, Inc. (NMWGI). Prior to taking this position, she worked as a student graphic designer in the Golden Library at Eastern New Mexico University (ENMU). She received both a bachelor of science and a masters in business administration degree from ENMU in Portales. The granddaughter of Mayhill ranchers Punk and Charlie Cooper, Briggs is no stranger to the sheep industry. “My family is proud that although I am not on the ranch, I am making an impact on the industry.” Briggs is working as an administrative assistant with both associations, focusing on membership services and regulatory issues. In January, she attended the ASI convention in Reno, getting a better feel for the industry on the national level. “It was really nice to see,” she said. “So much of the country is so involved in sheep production, and it was interesting to hear about the different problems other states are facing and the solutions they have come up with.” Briggs says that she enjoys the variety of the job. “I really love it. It seems like we work on something different every day, and it’s a great experience.” She grew up on her family’s cattle ranch near Mayhill, attended school in Cloudcroft, and was active in 4-H showing steers, heifers and goats. Briggs is the secretary of Zeta Tau Alpha Albuquerque Alumnae chapter. She and her husband, Ross, live in Albuquerque. The NMCGA has represented the ranchers in New Mexico and the West since 1914 and has members in all 33 of the state’s counties as well as some 19 other states. The Association participates in venues necessary to protect beef producers and private property rights including litigation, state and federal legislation and regulatory affairs.

funneled through our ADMB, dispensing it to the county boards,” he says. The county boards have to meet certain qualifications to be eligible. Coyotes account for about 2/3 of the predator losses in Wyoming. “We kill a lot of coyotes with aerial hunting and are also allowed to use M-44s and livestock protection collars (a collar on the sheep or lamb that contains 10-80). Those collars aren’t used much, but we do use the M-44, which is a cyanide gun. It’s triggered when the coyote pulls the top of it (a bait) and it shoots cyanide into the coyotes’ mouth. We also use traps and snares,” says Hardy. In Wyoming the counties participate with Wildlife Services who supply trappers. Some counties provide their own trappers, but work with Wildlife Services on aerial control. The state funds have been cut, however, and this leaves the programs quite short. In shaky economic times, predator control programs are struggling to remain viable in all the western states. One Rancher’s Experience – Pete Paris raised cattle and sheep on Nevada rangeland in Elko County, and had a lot of problems with coyotes, especially in his four bands of sheep. A female coyote with a litter of pups will kill lambs daily. In the spring it might be five lambs every day because the coyotes eat only the parts they really like, such as the internal organs (hearts and livers). When the pups are small the adult coyote will gorge itself on these parts of the lamb and then go back to the den and regurgitate these for the pups to eat. As the pups get older, the adult coyotes eat as much as they can for themselves and then tear a lamb in half. The male will pack half a lamb and the female the other half, to take back to their pups. For themselves, the adults will kill two or three lambs every night and eat as much as they can of their favorite internal parts and then take the meat back to the pups. Often when the lambs are anywhere from newborn to a month old, a pair of coyotes will kill four or five every night. If this goes on night after night it adds up to a serious loss, especially if a rancher has three or four bands in which this is happening. The Nevada ranchers get some help from the government hunters but the government agency doesn’t have the staff that they used to due to budget cuts. Usually they can only focus on the bands that are getting the most depredation.

Pete Paris started using guard dogs but couldn’t use them during lambing time because his bands lambed on open range, with the sheep widely scattered. During that time he had to gather the guard dogs because there was no one to feed them. After bunching the sheep up again, if the coyotes started killing lambs it was difficult to stop them. Even with a guard dog, the coyotes still kept killing sheep. Several years ago he started teaching his herders to become better shots and to try to actually kill the coyote rather than just scare it away. If a coyote gets shot at, he gets used to that. If you shoot at him in the morning he runs away, but that night will sneak back in and kill lambs. He told his herders to not shoot unless they thought they could hit the coyote. The coyotes get braver and if you don’t shoot they will come closer. The herders were afraid the coyote would kill lambs if he came closer. Even if he kills a few lambs, coming closer gives the herder a better chance to shoot him. By contrast, if a person simply scares the coyote away the first day and he stays all summer he might kill 50 or 60 lambs. Another thing he told his herders was to pay attention to details and try to pinpoint where the coyotes are howling, because this may be where their den is located. Then when the trapper comes, he doesn’t have to search thousands of acres. The trapper can more readily locate the tracks and patterns of travel. Ranchers can still use traps, and can also call the coyotes to shoot them. The aerial hunting is a big help, especially if there is a ground crew with good dogs to help coordinate the aerial hunt. The coyotes get smart about the airplane and hide. The sheepherder can tell the ground trapper where the coyotes are and the ground trapper goes in first with his dogs and has radio contact with the plane. If the plane is hunting close enough to where it can be back in five minutes, the person with the dogs can call for the airplane when the coyotes are located. Wolves Are Hindering Coyote Control Programs – When wolves are present and protected, not only are ranchers limited in what they can do to the wolves, but when they are trying to deal with and control other predators some of the traditional tools may be limited/restricted because of the possibility they might endanger a wolf. This can impact the total predator program. In Idaho, for instance, this increased continued on page 213

Coyote the cost of predator control significantly. Jay Bodner (Montana Stockgrowers Association) says that in the past decade, the USFWS has become short on money for predator control. “A lot of Montana counties are trying to help cover some of the additional costs. But in the counties where there are wolf problems, the USFWS is spending almost half their time dealing with wolves, and have much less time to do preventative coyote work,” says Bodner. With all expenses going up, and flight times being reduced for aerial hunts, predator control has become more difficult. The Challenges Grow – Much of the public is against predator control, not understanding the importance of these programs. Some people think that predator control is aimed at helping a few rich ranchers. But when you look at the demographics of livestock producers in Oregon, for instance, at least 95 percent of them are family operations struggling to survive. In 1997 when Oregon had NASS survey farmers for every type of wildlife damage, a question was included about how much the producer was spending to prevent wildlife damage. Back then, the estimate was 6 million dollars spent by farmers and ranchers across the state, and 1.3 million was spent by livestock producers to try to prevent predation. The majority of that expense was good fencing, but also for guard dogs and llamas. Producers are spending a lot of their own money to try to protect their livestock. This is one of the costs of doing business and it keeps going up. Some people who are not in favor of managing predators say predation IS the cost of doing business and that stockmen just have to accept it. Some naïve people actually think the producer can just pass that added cost on to the consumer who buys the meat, not realizing that cattle raisers can’t set the price they receive for their animals. Even if they could, the predator losses and costs are not evenly distributed. One rancher might lose a lot of animals one year while another rancher didn’t lose any. The general public doesn’t understand this because they are not in touch with agriculture. The United States has the most abundant, affordable and wholesome food supply in the world. Farmers and ranchers are taken for granted, and it is a frustrating challenge for many of them to stay in

business. Predator problems are just one more expense/loss that might wipe them out. Predator control programs are never enough, but they do help. The tough economy today is taking a toll on individuals and also on agency budgets. Recent cuts impact field employees, reducing the number of agents, and impact the timeliness of response to predator problems. More financial burden is placed on the county to maintain the local level of service. The state is passing on more of the cost of predator management to the counties. Jack Field (Washington Cattle Association) says Washington’s budget for Wildlife Services has been drastically cut. “Some years back, the governor eliminated $300,000 of state money on an annual basis that went to Wildlife Services. This was money they’d used in the past to cost share on depredation—whether it was bird control at feedlots, dairies and farms, or aerial control of coyotes. That money has never come back and never will,” says Field. The need for these services continues, however, so the responsibility falling on private landowners simply went up that n much more.

Eminent domain abuse violates private property rights by REP. TOM REED (R-N.Y.) THE HILL.COM

ince our country was founded, private property has served as a cornerstone of our freedoms. The constitutional right to private property is based on the principle that government should not unreasonably interfere with the use of one’s property. In the Declaration of Colonial Rights, the First Continental Congress explicitly stated that, “[Americans] are entitled to life, liberty, and property, and they have never ceded to any sovereign power … a right to dispose of either without their consent.”

This served as the foundation for the Fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution, which states, “No person shall be deprived of … property, without due process of law.” This provision, known as the Takings Clause, protects citizens from unreasonable government seizure of private property. The government has repeatedly cited the Takings Clause as justification for taking private property without the landowner’s consent. Although this practice, known as “eminent domain,” has occurred since the early days of our country, the government had been restricted from taking private property except when required for the public good, such as building a fort during a time of war. However, a Supreme Court decision in 2005 severally undermined the protec-

tions afforded by the Takings Clause and greatly expanded the government’s power to seize private property. In Kelo v. City of New London, the Supreme Court held that “economic development” constituted a “public use” that justified the taking of private property through eminent domain. According to this decision, the government can utilize eminent domain to seize your property whenever the government deems it necessary for “economic development.” Consider the implications of this decision: If the government decides to undertake an “economic development” project, the government can seize your family-owned farm and sell the property to a private

developer to build a new factory. In the dissenting opinion to the Kelo decision, Justice Sandra Day O’Connor warned that this expansion of the Takings Clause subverted the constitutional limitation on the government’s power: “Under the banner of economic development, all private property is vulnerable to being taken and transferred to another private owner.” Is this not what our Founding Fathers had in mind when they drafted the Fifth Amendment. The Kelo decision is based on the premise that “Big Government” is more capable of determining what serves the best interest of local landowners than the landowners themselves. To understand the flaws of this perspective, look no further than New London, Conn.: the city confiscated Ms. Kelo’s home so that a pharmaceutical corporation could build a new facility. The city claimed that seizing this property under eminent domain was necessary to complete a “redevelopment project.” Today, 10 years after the Kelo decision, the property where Ms. Kelo’s home once stood is a vacant and desolate lot. After spending millions of dollars of taxpayer money and forcing several hard-working families from their homes, this economic development plan was a complete failure. The abandoned 90-acre lot in the heart of New London is a chilling example of the danger posed by government overreach and intrusion into the lives of American citizens. As illustrated by this example, the power to take property through eminent domain is frequently abused by the government for unnecessary and unreasonable purposes. This practice harms landowners by forcing them to expend their valuable resources (through expensive legal proceedings) to simply keep the property they have owned for decades. This is inherently unfair to hard-working Americans. Eminent domain takings are especially concerning in the context of “urban renewal.” According to Ilya Somin, law professor at George Mason University and adjunct scholar at the Cato Institute, transferring property to private interests (for “economic development”) tends to “victimize the poor, racial minorities, and the politically weak.” Mr. Somin points out that eminent domain takings “disproportionately occur in poor and minority neighborhoods,” which inflicts “great harm” on the individual landowners and

their communities. I care about the rights of landowners. The constitutional right to private property must be defended. That is why I created the Private Property Rights Caucus and introduced the Defense of Property Rights Act. The Private Property Rights Caucus provides a platform to educate members of Congress on the importance of property rights, demonstrate how landowners across the country are being adversely affected by government action, and discuss practical solutions to protect the constitutional rights of property owners. The Defense of Property Rights Act provides a practical solution. This legislation protects landowners by creating a safeguard against unfair and unreasonable government actions that violate their property rights. This provides citizens with

an opportunity to seek redress in federal court when government action significantly impairs the value of their property or unreasonably restricts the use of their property. As Americans, we must not be complacent when the government infringes on our individual liberties and restricts our constitutional rights; we must ensure that government is kept in check and does not overreach the limitations placed on its power. The Defense of Property Rights Act is an important and necessary step toward achieving that objective and keeping government in its proper place. That serves the interests of the people rather than the interests of “Big Government.” Reed has served as a representative of New York since 2010 and is a member of the House Ways and Means Committee. He is chairman of the Private Property Rights Caucus.

John Kerry Invests Massively In Fossil Fuel Stocks

ALL SIZES JERYL PRIDDY 325/754-4300 Cell: 325/977-0769

n a March 12 address to the Atlantic Council in Washington, D.C., Secretary of State John Kerry warned that climate change outranks terrorism, epidemics and poverty as the worst threat facing the world today. Our only salvation, he asserted, lies in an energy policy that replaces fossil fuels with solar, wind and other “clean energy.” However, at the same time he gave this crisis speech, public records indicated that Secretary Kerry personally owned an estimated three to six million dollars in stocks of more than 50 oil and gas-related companies. Records from 2004 show that he’s been constantly and deeply invested in fossil fuels for at least a decade, and is still injecting millions in working capital into the very industries he condemns. What is the public to think of a cabinet-level prophet of climate doom who says one thing and does such another? The discovery of this stunning hypocrisy emerged from fact checking research by Heartland Institute, after Kerry’s apocalyptic Atlantic Council speech. The finding raised two immediate questions: How did such a financially vested nominee for Secretary of State get past the conflict of interest tests of the Office of Government Ethics and Senate confirmation? And why does an ostensibly dedicated environmentalist own an oil-drenched investment portfolio? Kerry has been an outspoken advocate for the theory of anthropogenic global warming since the early 1990s and in 2007 co-authored This Moment on Earth: Today’s New Environmentalists and Their Vision for the Future with his billionaire wife Teresa Heinz Kerry, a movement leader in her own continued on page 219

right. We can answer the first question with certainty, but not the second. Begin with Senator John Kerry’s nomination to be Secretary of State on December 21, 2012: he was not only chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee that would unanimously approve his nomination as one of their own; he was also the wealthiest member of the Senate, and the breadth of his investments would certainly present conflicts of interest. Kerry owned 365 securities totaling $232,674,572 to $322,785,148, including contentious stock in Exxon Mobil and a Canadian firm with ties to the Keystone XL pipeline, Cenovus Energy Inc., as posted on Open Secrets.org, website of the Center for Responsive Politics. Office holder assets and liabilities are reported only in value ranges rather than exact amounts, so precise net worth can’t be ascertained and is counted from the lower number. Office of Government Ethics lawyers immediately vetted Kerry’s family wealth and his spouse’s Heinz ketchup fortune and determined that the new cabinet post required that the couple divest 140 different securities across three different trusts and that the new Secretary recuse himself from decisions with any ethical implications – but there was a catch. On January 8, 2013, John Kerry signed an agreement letter to the government to relinquish specified assets within 90 days of taking the oath of office. He agreed to have his trustees segregate forbidden stocks, mostly large holdings of a single stock, into a custodial account and sell them off so questions could not come up. He also agreed to diversify and downsize his investments so that even the fossil fuel stocks qualified as “non-conflicting assets.” Kerry pledged to take no action as Secretary of State that would affect his financial interests “unless I first obtain a written waiver, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 208(b)(l), or qualify for a regulatory exemption, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 208(b)(2).” Those bureaucratic loopholes explain how more than 50 oil and gas stocks made it past government lawyers into Kerry’s much slimmer 2013 financial report, but they don’t explain why the new Obama cabinet officer kept them. Kerry simply wrote in his agreement letter, “Following divestiture, my segregated portfolio will hold only non-conflicting assets.” That was good enough for the

Office of Government Ethics and the Senate confirmation vote. We’ll never know the exact details of the divestiture because the Office of Government Ethics apologetically informs the online searcher looking for Kerry’s monthly reports for 2013 that “it appears the link you’ve selected is no longer available.” Financial records of Kerry’s first year as Secretary of State, January to December 2013, are all gone. However, Secretary of State Kerry’s personally signed monthly financial reports for 2014 are intact from January to December and show a continuous stream of purchases of oil and gas stocks not seen in previous reports, Oasis Petroleum, R S P Permian, Diamond Offshore Drilling, and on and on. All the while he publicly denounced such firms without revealing his complicity in advancing their success. Perhaps Kerry steadily pumps capital

into oil and gas companies because he knows his rhetoric is deceitful, that climate change is not a crisis, and that the future of global civilization and human survival depends on fossil fuels. Perhaps he knows full well that the outcome of Obama’s energy policy will be to drive humanity into chaos that wrecks the Earth itself. In this light, we can read his closing words to the Atlantic Council two ways, but which way did oil and gas investor Kerry really have in mind? He said, “Gambling with the future of Earth itself when we know full well what the outcome will be is just reckless. It is just plain n immoral.”
