Farm Bureau, Full Speed Ahead
B
aseball legend Yogi Berra once said that if you don’t know where you’re going, you’ll end up someplace else. While this seems completely logical, I’m always surprised at how many organizations don’t have a strategic plan to achieve their goals. At a time of Washington gridlock, when not much of anything is being resolved, Farm Bureau is not only seeing action on three of its policy priorities, we are setting the course. We are being proactive and strategic in recognizing and making the most of opportunities to move our policy agenda forward. The American Farm Bureau has set its policy goals and a plan of attack and we are now moving full speed ahead.
Anchors Up First up on Farm Bureau’s agenda is passage of the farm bill. The Senate passed its farm bill in June and the House is expected to begin floor deliberation soon. We are pleased with the Senate bill, which protects and strengthens the federal crop insurance program while not reducing its funding. It also provides farmers varied safety net options through the commodity program. While the debate in the House will be more divisive than the Senate
debate, the farm bill is still steaming ahead. I am optimistic we will see a new farm bill enacted this fall before the current one expires. As soon as the Senate passed the farm bill, it turned its attention to another Farm Bureau priority – the immigration reform bill, which includes important agricultural labor provisions that Farm Bureau helped to create. We expect a robust floor debate, but I’m confident the Senate will pass this monumental legislation. The hill is steeper on the House side for immigration reform. Farm Bureau will need to work even harder to remind House members why farmers and ranchers can’t wait any longer for an agricultural labor program that works. But, I am confident we are up to the task.
All Hands The Senate’s passage of the Water Resources Development Act in May was another major milestone on the American Farm Bureau’s policy agenda. About four years overdue for reauthorization, WRDA, which focuses on upgrading waterway shipping infrastructure such as locks and dams, is finally on the move in Congress. Having an efficient and reliable inland waterway system in July 2013 | Page 2 | www.nvfb.org
addition to competitive ports are vital to America’s ability to provide affordable agricultural products domestically and to compete internationally. Again, because of politics as usual, things are expected to be more challenging on the House side. Farm Bureau members will need to urge their members of Congress to rise above politics and support U.S. agriculture’s global competitiveness. To those representatives from states that don’t border the Mississippi River, its tributaries or other inland waterways, we’ll need to remind them that more than 60 percent of our grain exports move on our inland waterways system. Politics in Washington has always focused as much on who is up and who is down as it has on the details and content of actual policy. I believe the action so far on Farm Bureau’s issues shows that our new strategic way of representing our farm and ranch members clearly has us on the rise. While many only throw up their hands in despair against the stiff breeze of political gridlock, we adjust our sail, and powered by the force of our grassroots strength, we move deliberately toward our policy goals.
Farm Bureau
Perspectives By James “Hank” Combs President, Nevada Farm Bureau
Farm Bureau Policy, Working For You
P
olicy is a word that is used a lot at Farm Bureau. While there are many important facets of Farm Bureau, policy ranks close to the top of the list. Strong Farm Bureau policy positions lay the foundation for a strong organization. What makes policy so vital? It provides the direction the organization takes on issues developed by you, Farm Bureau members. The grassroots policy development process allows for many voices, that represent many areas of agriculture, to come together and determine policy that will benefit farming and ranching.
Legislative and Regulatory Nevada Farm Bureau participated daily in legislative activities, lobbying for Nevada’s farmers and ranchers. The lobbying efforts are not predicated on the personal opinions of who is making Farm Bureau’s case, but the convictions of all you, Nevada Farm Bureau members.
While you are working in the fields, driving a tractor, irrigating, milking cows, and all the other daily farming/ranching activities, Farm Bureau policy is working just as hard, protecting your ability to perform the tasks that keep your agricultural operation running smoothly.
Grassroots Development The policy book changes yearto-year and adapts to a rapidly changing agricultural landscape. Having your voice heard through written policy isn’t that difficult, it only takes the desire to tell your county Farm Bureau leadership of the issues and challenges affecting your agricultural operation.
The state office does not write policy. Members involved in the process write policy.
Through the Federation’s organizational structure, policy is first created at the county Farm Bureau level. If you have an idea for policy then the first step is to reach out to your county Farm Bureau President or other leaders in the county. You can find who your county President is by visiting the Nevada Farm Bureau website at www.nvfb.org.
Policy positions are in effect daily.
Your policy ideas, other members’ July 2013 | Page 3 | www.nvfb.org
ideas and suggestions, along with existing policy are discussed at local county Farm Bureau meetings and policy development meetings. County Farm Bureau policy changes and recommendations then move to state level. Prior to the policy being voted on at Annual Meeting, the policy is discussed during the Resolutions Committee meeting. The Resolutions Committee is comprised of county Vice Presidents and chaired by Nevada Farm Bureau Vice President Paul Mathews. The Nevada Farm Bureau Annual Meeting is where Farm Bureau members from across the state join together and finalize policy. The purpose of having an Annual Meeting is to discuss and vote on policy. The number of delegates a county Farm Bureau has at the Annual Meeting is determined by the number of farmer/rancher members in the county. Policy is important. If you have policy recommendations, reach out to your county leadership. See your policy through, and attend the Annual Meeting in November. We look forward to your suggestions.
In Review... The 2013 Nevada Legislature The 77th Nevada Legislature has adjourned. Nevada Farm Bureau participated in the day-to-day legislative activities, promoting member-developed grassroots policy and protecting the rights of Nevada farmers and ranchers. There were a number of bills that directly affected agriculture production and Farm Bureau policy. For this report, we will review legislation that affected your farming and ranching operations, and the outcomes of various legislation.
Farm to Fork AB 200, better known as the “Farm to Fork” was passed by both the Nevada Assembly and Senate, with only one “nay” vote which came from the Assembly. Governor Sandoval signed the bill into law and it will go into effect July 1, 2013. Nevada Farm Bureau supported AB 200, based on our policy for recognition of labeling changes and requirements to improve marketing opportunities. AB 200 allows farms to hold farm-to-fork events in certain circumstances without being considered a food establishment for purposes of inspections by the health authority and other regulations.
Farms that host farm-to-fork events are required to inform guests that the food being served has not been inspected by a local or state health department. Farms that host more than two events in a month are then considered “food establishments.” Farms must also register with the local health department prior to the event, and a fee may be required to register. For those farms that hold two or fewer farm-to-fork events per month, the health department cannot inspect the farm. Inspection will only take place if more than two events are held in a month, or if there is an outbreak of illness due to contaminated products served during the event. July 2013 | Page 4 | www.nvfb.org
This widely popular bill will give farms more flexibility and face less government regulation. “AB 200 will allow farms to better promote their local agricultural products, and consumers will benefit by being able to experience the bounty of local farms,” said Nevada Farm Bureau Executive Vice President and Lobbyist Doug Busselman. Nevada Farm Bureau’s support of AB 200 shows the organization’s commitment to promoting Nevada agricultural products. Nevada Farm Bureau policy supports all agriculture and the state’s farmers and ranchers who grow the products.
Cottage Industries SB 206, better known as “Cottage Industries,” allows for noncommercial kitchens to produce and sell food to directly to consumers. Nevada Farm Bureau supported the bill.
label that says, “MADE IN A COTTAGE FOOD OPERATION THAT IS NOT SUBJECT TO GOVERNMENT FOOD SAFETY INSPECTION.”
This legislation will allow for cottage food operations to sell their products directly to consumers.
The definition of a Cottage Food Operation, is food prepared in a private home or, if allowed by the health authority, in the kitchen of a fraternal or social clubhouse, a school or a religious, charitable, or other nonprofit organization. Sales cannot exceed $35,000 per calendar year.
Products sold must include a

a cottage operation only to investigate a food item that may be deemed adultered, or when a food item caused an outbreak of illness. Both the Cottage Industries bill and Farm to Fork bill allow producers to more easily sell their products to consumers. Nevada Farm Bureau policy supports all levels of agricultural production and the policy supports producers’ efforts to market their products. Nevada Farm Bureau policy supports direct marketing between producer and consumer.
Raw Milk Legislation AB 209 sought to allow the sale and distribution of raw milk throughout Nevada. Prior to this legislation, raw milk could be produced and sold only in a county where a county milk commission was in place. The county milk commission regulates the production of raw milk and raw milk products, and regulates the sale and distribution of raw milk. A dairy wishing to sell raw milk and its products, that has met the requirements of Nevada law, could then sell the milk in that county. AB 209 basically took away the county borders, allowing for sale statewide. During the 2013 American Farm Bureau (AFBF) Annual Meeting, delegates passed policy relating to raw milk. AFBF policy supports, “Only pasteurized milk and milk products being sold or distributed
for human consumption.” Nevada Farm Bureau opposed AB 209 based on Farm Bureau policy. However, Nevada Farm Bureau shifted to a neutral position after the Assembly Health and Human Services Committee made amendments to further define required regulatory provisions. AB 209 passed both the Assembly and Senate. The bill however didn’t have the support of Governor Sandoval, and he vetoed the bill on June 6, 2013. Governor Sandoval sighted “significant public health risks,” as the reason for his veto.
According to the CDC, “unpasteurized milk is 150 times more likely to cause food-borne illness outbreaks than pasteurized milk.” Prior to the veto, the International Dairy Foods Association (IDFA) and National Milk Producers Federation (NMPF) wrote letters to the Governor citing the health risks and asked for the veto. Nevada’s state health official also agreed that bill posed significant health risks. The consumption of raw milk brings into question serious health ramifications. “Raw milk is a known source of life-threatening pathogens such as Campylobacter, Salmonella, Listeria and E. coli,” said Connie Tipton, President and CEO of the IDFA.
The possible health risks associated with the consumption of raw milk is well documented by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and other health organizations. Legislative Report Continued on Page 9 July 2013 | Page 5 | www.nvfb.org

2103 Alabama Farmers Federation Beef Tour Comes To Nevada
A
By Zach Allen, Director of Communications
group of 47 Alabama Farmers Federation (ALFA) members and three staff traveled to Nevada for the 2013 ALFA Beef Tour. The weeklong tour took them to many locations in northern Nevada and northern California. Prior to embarking on the tour, the group was introduced to Nevada agriculture by Nevada Farm Bureau Executive Vice President Doug Busselman. Busselman explained Nevada’s lack of precipitation and the percentage of land owned by
the Federal Government. ALFA members were amazed to learn that most of land is government owned and we only receive a few inches of annual rainfall. “Land and water are what we spend most of our time talking about,” said Busselman.
Golden State and toured locations in the Sierra Valley that included Bar One Cattle Company, DS Ranch, Roberti Ranch, Sierra Valley Ranch, and the Goodwin Ranch.
The first tour day took the group to the scenic Carson Valley, Douglas County, with stops at Genoa Livestock, Bently Ranch, Corley Ranch, Hone Ranch, and Settelmeyer Ranch.
On day three, the group visited Snyder Livestock in Yerington, Lyon County. In addition to learning about the beef operation from Lucy Rechel, the group also heard from Jim Snyder who talked about the farm’s onion and garlic production.
During the second day of the tour, the group left the Silver State to the

livestock auction and lunch at Nevada Livestock Marketing. The tour then took the group north with stops in Pershing County and Humboldt County. Tour stops in the two counties included Duncan Ranch, Rebel Creek Ranch, UC Ranch, Home Ranch, Stonehouse Country Inn, Lucas Livestock, Winnemucca Farms, Rye Patch Reservoir, Nevada Nile Ranch, and Western Nevada Cattle Feeders. The final tour stop was at Dave Stix Livestock in Fernley. The climate in Nevada is vastly different than in Alabama. “That these cattle can live in this environment is shocking,” said Wade Hill of Lawrence County. “The heat, the terrain, and the vegetation are just mind-blowing to me. A cow is a whole lot tougher than I thought.” While the climate and terrain in Nevada is the complete opposite of that in Alabama, farmers and ranchers in both states face very similar issues. “If you were to write down issues affecting agriculture I bet you would see a lot of similarities between Nevada and Alabama,” said Alabama Farmers Federation President Jimmy Parnell. The group enjoyed coming to Nevada and learned a lot from the tour. “Love it, totally different than Alabama. Good cattle, nice people. The level of knowledge is great, really professional cattle breeders we have met,” said Parnell. For some members, it was there first beef tour. ALFA member Jimmie Fidler said he really enjoyed his first beef tour. Fidler raises cattle, peanuts, and pecans. Most Alabama forage has 8-12 percent protein, while the typical Nevada forage is upwards of 15 percent protein. “Their grass is powerful, it really packs a punch,” said Fidler. The beef tour takes ALFA members to a different location each year. “It’s really good for our members to see and learn, nothing like seeing the real thing. We all learn something,” said Parnell.

Nevada Land Management Task Force
N
By Doug Busselman, Executive Vice President
o state has a higher percentage of land under federal government “management” than Nevada. The correlative of this fact is also true; no state has a lower percentage of private property than Nevada. These two points make passage of AB 227 to be perhaps one of the more important pieces of legislation dealt with during the 2013 Nevada Legislature. AB 227, passed by both the Senate and Assembly and signed into law by Governor Sandoval on June 1, 2013, creates the Nevada Land Management Task Force and establishes the process for the Task Force to conduct an interim study on Nevada gaining lands presently under the control of the federal government. The bill was sponsored by a bipartisan group of legislators including Assembly members John Ellison, Jim Wheeler, Ira Hansen, Pat Hickey, Cresent Hardy, Paul Anderson, Irene Bustamante Adams, Richard Carrillo, Wesley Duncan, Michele Fiore, Lucy Flores, Tom Grady, John Hambrick, James Healey, Marilyn Kirkpatrick, Randy Kirner, Pete Livermore, Dina Neal, James Ohrenschall, James Oscarson, Ellen Spiegel, Lynn Stewart, and Melissa Woodbury. A large number of State Senate members also joined as co-sponsors including Pete Goicoechea, Don Gustavson, Michael Roberson, Mark Hutchison, Scott Hammond, Kelvin Atkinson, Greg Brower, Barbara Cegavske, Mo
Denis, Joe Hardy, Justin Jones, Ben Kieckhefer, Ruben Kihuen, Mark Manendo, David Parks, James Settelmeyer, Patricia Spearman, and Joyce Woodhouse. (The names identified in bold print were the primary sponsors of the bill.) Nevada Farm Bureau supported AB 227 on the basis of memberadopted policy and will be working with the Task Force to further represent our policy positions which deal with the disposition of these lands. Farm Bureau policy on federally managed lands covers an extensive scope of ideas, but primarily embraces the perspective of expanding private ownership. This is also a significant theme in Nevada state law, established over various stages of what has been known as “the Sage Brush Rebellion” era. Identifying and considering the consequences of the potential transfer of lands under federal government control, while also working out the details and addressing possible solutions to complicating and conflicting interests will be part of the Task Force’s work as well. The Task Force, operating under the Nevada Legislative Public Lands Committee will consist of representatives from each of Nevada’s 17 counties. During the Interim, before the 2015 Nevada Legislature, the Task Force July 2013 | Page 8 | www.nvfb.org
will prepare their plan/proposal by evaluating: • An identification of public lands to be transferred and the interests, rights and uses associated with those lands; • Develop a proposed plan for the administration, management and use of the public lands, including without limitation, the designation of wilderness or other conservation areas or the sale, lease or other disposition of those lands; and • An economic analysis concerning the transfer of public lands, including without limitation: 1. The identification of the costs directly incident to the transfer of title of those lands; 2. The identification of sources of revenue to pay for the administration and maintenance of those lands by the State of Nevada; 3. A determination of the amount of any revenue that is currently received by the State of Nevada or a political subdivision of this State in connection with those lands, including without limitation, and payments made in lieu of taxes and mineral leases; and 4. The identification of any potential revenue to be received from those lands by the State of Nevada after the transfer of the lands and recommendations for the distribution of those revenues.

Legislative Review Continued
Education Bills in the Senate Two bills affecting higher education were introduced in the Senate, and Nevada Farm Bureau took an interest in both bills. First, SB 255 was priority legislation for Nevada Farm Bureau. SB 255 was important because of the University of Nevada’s continuing practice to sell off its agriculture research facilities. SB 255 would have made UNR reinvest money from a sale of agricultural property back in agriculture research or programs. Basically, the money would stay in agriculture. The bill was strongly support by Nevada Farm Bureau and Nevada Cattlemen’s. The bill had support
from everyone except from University and higher education officials.
Department of Education. Nevada Farm Bureau testified in support of the bill.
The bill however never had the opportunity for legislators to have a conversation about finding middle ground and the bill died in the Senate Finance Committee without being brought to a vote.
The bill was amended by the Senate Education Committee and turned into an interim study.
“Thank you to all Farm Bureau members who reached out to legislators about the importance of SB 255,” Busselman said. Another bill affecting education was SB 391, which moved community colleges out of the Nevada System of Higher Education to the Nevada
“The current structure prevents a viable community college system that overly favors Universities at the expense of local entities,” Busselman said. Farm Bureau members that are interested in having a say in strengthening community colleges will want to stay alert to interim committee hearings for this bill.
Anti-Hunting Legislation Nevada Farm Bureau monitored three anti-hunting bills in the Senate - SB 82, SB 184, and SB 213. At its inception, SB 82 sought an all out ban for black bear hunting, extending legislative protection for the species. Nevada Farm Bureau has policy that supports hunting Nevada black bears, and testified against SB 82. The bill was significantly amended by the Senate Natural Resources Committee. The amendments made the bill more of a resolution, prescribing various points of consideration that the Nevada Wildlife Commission needs to take into account as they set seasons and
determine authorized hunts. The amended bill was passed by both the Assembly and Senate and signed into law by Governor Sandoval on May 28, 2013. SB 184 was another bill brought forward by anti-hunting and antitrapping advocates. This bill would have made the Nevada Wildlife Commission have a representative with very specific qualifications and credentials for endangered species background. The bill did not go anywhere beyond one hearing in the Senate Natural Resources Committee. SB 213 sought to make the activity of trapping nearly impossible. The July 2013 | Page 9 | www.nvfb.org
bill included shortening time lines for trap visitation. The bill was amended and passed by the Senate Natural Resources Committee. The bill will require registration of traps, snares, and other devices used to take wild mammals. The bill passed the Assembly with a party-line vote of 27-12 and unanimously in the Senate, 21-0. Governor Sandoval signed the bill into law May 28, 2013. Nevada Farm Bureau did not testify on the legislation.

The Future of Nevada Agriculture... Opportunities and Challenges
During the 2013 Nevada Agricultural Foundation Annual Banquet, a group of Nevada agriculture leaders joined together in a discussion to talk about the opportunities and challenges facing Nevada agriculture. The panel included Nevada Farm Bureau Executive Vice President Doug Busselman, Nevada Department of Agriculture Director Jim Barbee, Fallon Dairyman and Commissioner Pete Olsen, CABNR Interim Dean Ron Pardini, and Nevada Cattleman’s President JJ Goicoechea. To hear what the group said visit the Nevada Farm Bureau YouTube channel at www.youtube.com/ nevfarmbureau.
Continued...Nevada Land Management Task Force The final reporting deadline for the Task Force is September 1, 2014 and will likely include a number of legislative proposals to implement the state’s plan for the role of the state in acquiring authority for designated lands. In considering these options current state law may also require re-evaluation with potential changes advanced to bring about the new dynamics determined through the study. Nevada joins the ranks of a growing number of western states to examine the possibility of transferring federally controlled land to the state. This round of the growing movement for state control of lands within their boundaries was initiated by Utah Representative Ken Ivory. In addition to being a legislator in Utah, Ivory serves as President of the American Lands Council, an advocacy organization which supports a greater balance of equal footing for states in the west who did not receive their proper share of lands when they joined the other United States as states.
