Spring Ag Days
the
Ag Agenda
by Bob Stallman, President, American Farm Bureau
Farming: Raincoats (and Risk Management) Required As the old saying goes, when it rains it pours. No one knows that better right now than farmers, especially those in the Midwest. Because of the record downpour this spring, it comes as no surprise crops will be planted very late this year, if at all. In fact, one needs to go back to 1984 to find a year when planting began later than where it is right now. Farmers have always been at the mercy of Mother Nature. That’s why risk management tools play such a vital role in farming. An Umbrella of Sorts Agriculture is fundamentally a risky business. Farmers have to be willing to spend hundreds of dollars per acre to plant a crop in the hope that it will come up, the weeds won’t be too bad, the pests won’t kill it and, in the end, there will actually be a market that will pay a high enough price to cover all of these production costs. As a society, we want farmers to take that risk in order to put food on America’s dinner tables. Because weather presents a risk to agriculture at a level not experienced by most other sectors, farmers are able to turn to crop insurance. This program provides a partnership between farmers and consumers to help share some of the risk. Farmers pay a significant portion of the premium costs for the insurance policy, while the taxpayer also shares in that cost by helping to pay the premium. It is a wise investment of public funds. Last year was one of the worst droughts the nation has faced in decades. Crop insurance played a pivotal role in helping farmers through that disaster and is a classic example of why we need this important risk management program. Weather Predictions Mark Twain once said, “Climate is what we expect, weather is what we get.” No one knows this to be true more so than farmers, whose livelihood depends on the right combination of rainclouds and sunshine. This year, whether farmers are ultimately able to plant a full crop is only as good as one’s weather forecast. By mid-June all of the crop delay issues will either rise as a matter of great concern or will completely fade away. I’m optimistic, along with fellow farmers from around the countryside, that it will be the latter. In the meantime, as farm bill legislation works its way through Capitol Hill, Farm Bureau will continue to fight for flexible and effective risk management tools to help America’s farmers regardless of sunshine or rain.

Farm Bureau Perspectives By James “Hank” Combs Nevada Farm Bureau President
Drought Affecting Nevada…Again Drought is a term we here in Nevada are use to hearing. It seems we are in a perpetual drought, some years worse than others. This year is shaping up to be one of those years that is worse than most. Drought affected Nevada last year. The lack luster winter of 2011/2012 didn’t add much needed water to the reservoir system. Some said, “We will make it this year, but next winter we need a lot of snow.” Well, that snow didn’t pile up as we had hoped. Mother Nature has shown signs that this year’s drought will be bad. First, the Truckee River has already reached its peak. The peak came early and according to experts it wasn’t that impressive. When I traveled to northern Nevada early in the winter, it was cold and wet, with lots of snow. However, the snow fell early, and then stopped. Another sign of bad conditions to come is that Tahoe City experienced the driest three-month period (January – March) ever on record. And those records date back more than a century. Some farmers in Northern Nevada are already done irrigating for the farming season. Farmers in
Lovelock, Pershing County, are facing extremely low allotments of water, and this is where some are already done irrigating. Similar stories can be heard in Lyon and Churchill counties. Back to back dry winters will take its toll on Nevada agriculture this year. When we look at the impact of the drought, we need to look beyond the immediate impact to farmers and ranchers, but we also need to look at the total supply chain of agriculture. Much of Nevada’s hay production is exported to California to support their dairy industry. Alfalfa producers in northern Nevada are faced with extreme challenges this year. Corn for silage is vital for Nevada dairies, and Lovelock has been home to a growing corn industry, especially as Fallon’s dairy industry is growing to fulfill the needs for the new powder milk plant. Corn and alfalfa need the water, which isn’t available. According to the U.S. Drought Monitor Map the entire state of Nevada is experiencing drought conditions, ranging from D0 Abnormally Dry to D3 Extreme. Counties facing extreme drought conditions are Pershing, Churchill, Lyon, and Elko. Farming/ranching communities include Fallon, Lovelock, and Yerington. Churchill and Lyon counties are the top two agricultural producing counties in Nevada.

The drought will also dry up our rangelands, creating extreme fire conditions that would affect cattle grazing and ranchers’ access to BLM lands. In fact I have visited with several ranchers that have to take cattle off their allotments by either finding pasture elsewhere or sell the cattle. Farmers and ranchers should visit the newly created Great Basin Weather and Climate Dashboard, www.gbdash.dr.edu. The website was created by the Desert Research Institute (DRI) and the Farm Service Agency (FSA). Farmers and ranchers throughout Nevada will be able to monitor the drought from this site. Information regarding drought assistance programs can be found here too. All we can do is ask Mother Nature to provide us with some spring rain and some relief to what is shaping up to be a devastating drought.

Counties Host Ag Day Events By Zach Allen, Director of Communications
S
pring has finally arrived in northern Nevada, and with summer right around the corner it makes for the perfect time of the year for counties to hold ag days. Ag days are when county volunteers organize ag literacy events at their local elementary schools. Students have the opportunity to learn about agriculture in their community and across the state. The success of an ag day is largely due to volunteers, and both ag days held this month had great volunteer support. In May, ag days were held in Douglas County and Lyon County.
Douglas County Ag Day The Douglas County ag day was held May 20 at C.C. Meneley Elementary in Gardnerville. Students ranging from pre-school to sixth grade participated and learned about Nevada agriculture. The annual event was organized by Douglas County Farm Bureau member Tonja Dressler and sponsored by Douglas County Farm Bureau. Students visited 10 stations throughout the day. Presenters included: • Job’s Peak Weavers, Spinner & Fiber Arts Group - President June 2013 | Page 4 | www.nvfb.org

Lyon County Ag Day East Valley Elementary in Fernley hosted an ag day on May 23. Holding an ag day at East Valley has turned into a annual event. This year, Churchill County Ag in the Classroom Chairman Sonya Johnson and Churchill County Farm Bureau member Marshall Brown organized the event. Churchill County Farm Bureau member Kim Thompson was also on hand and volunteered at the ag day. Lyon County Farm Bureau sponsored lunch which was available to all of the volunteers. Both Sonya and Marshall are
past recipients of the Ag in the Classroom Volunteer of Year Award. During the day-long event, students visited 14 stations, and received information from nutrition to learning how to make their own brand. Presenters included: • Nevada Agriculture - Sonya Johnson and Julie Wolf. • Farm Safety & Livestock Trailer - Davy Stix • Nutrition - Libby Lovig and Nicole Robinson, Utah/Nevada Dairy Council. • Dairy Cow - Allysen Olsen and • Goats - Anne Fagundes, Minny Fagundes, and Matt Fagundes. • World of Corn - Marshall Brown, Mary Lou Grumstrup, Alex Vanderstoel, and Clayton

The panel included Jim Barbee, Director of the Nevada Department of Agriculture; Doug Busselman, Executive Vice President, Nevada Farm Bureau; J.J Goicoechea, President, Nevada Cattleman’s Association; Pete Olsen, Fallon Dairyman and Churchill County Commissioner; and Ron Pardini, Interim Dean, CABNR. The discussion was moderated by outgoing Nevada Agricultural Foundation President Joe Guild. The panel described the current positive vibes directed toward Nevada agriculture. The road ahead for Nevada agriculture looks bright. Reasons the road ahead looks bright is the Agriculture report indicating agriculture’s $5.3 billion economic impact, the powder milk facility being built in Fallon, the positive view of agriculture in urban cities, and an increased entrepreneurial spirit toward producing Nevada agriculture products.
