OFB kicks off drive to raise money for OK AgFund

By Mike Nichols The official paperwork is tucked away in the Oklahoma Ethics Commission office, and the task of raising money to fill the coffers of Oklahoma Farm Bureau’s OK AgFund is underway.

“I am elated,” said OFB’s Jeramy Rich.

“It is the tool we’ve always needed and with the 2004 elections looming and so many of our friends exiting the legislature, it is imperative. Term limits coupled with redistricting, which gave many rural seats an urban flair, make it imperative that we

support rural candidates.”

Delegates to the 2002 annual meeting paved the way to strengthen Farm Bureau by approving the political action fund.

The fund will allow the organization to help elect and support legislators who are responsive to and advocates for the needs of agriculture and rural Oklahoma.

“We can now accept contributions,”

said a smiling Rich, who filed the required paperwork with the Oklahoma Ethics Commission Jan. 15. “We’re kicking off our drive. “ M a n y groups which generally oppose Farm Bureau’s legislative efforts currently enjoy large political action funds, with the Trial Lawyers Association boasting the largest one. If we can get just a third of our

OK AgFund

members to contribute $1 each annually, the OK AgFund will be in the top six in the state.”

The OFB board established a Founders Club to recognize members who provide the initial ante for the fund.

“We’re hoping those who want to be recognized as Founders Club members will contribute $50 each. We’ve already had several Farm Bureau leaders contribute, but we sure won’t turn down lesser donations,” said Rich.

Oklahomans influence AFBF policy Delegates at the American Farm Bureau Federation convention in Tampa, Fla., agreed with Oklahoma farmers and ranchers to make country-of-origin labeling voluntary.

That action was one of many the delegates from all state Farm Bureaus adopted to guide AFBF in 2003.

Congress recently passed language in the 2002 farm bill mandating country-oforigin labeling.

“We felt like it was important to give farmers and ranchers more time and flexibility,” said Oklahoma Farm Bureau President Steve Kouplen, who headed the state’s delegation to the Jan. 19-22 convention.

The AFBF delegates also passed a policy to oppose the authority of Native American tribes to set water quality standards which are more strict than federal or state regulations.

“This is an issue which specifically affects Oklahoma landowners,” said Kouplen. “We are pleased AFBF delegates realize the impact of these regulations on our state.”

In addition, delegates expressed support for maintaining the funding and structure of the farm bill, saying it should not be reopened. To bolster rural America, delegates called for lending programs to pro(Kouplen, Page 3)

Magazine will replace OFB Journal Gov. Brad Henry puts his signature on the Farm Bureau Week proclamation.

Farm Bureau Week is Feb. 17-21 Governor Brad Henry has proclaimed Feb. 17-21 as Farm Bureau Week in Oklahoma.

Chartered in 1942, Oklahoma Farm Bureau is a grass roots, voluntary organization of farm and ranch families united to analyze their problems and who act together to find solutions.

The organization is controlled totally by its members through majority deci-

sion and is financed by voluntary membership dues.

“We strive constantly to safeguard the interests of agriculture and rural Oklahoma,” said OFB President Steve Kouplen. “We genuinely believe that by promoting our member-adopted policies that we truly are looking out for the best interests of all Oklahomans.”

You will want to keep this issue of the OFB Journal. It’s the last one. Frame it.

Store it in a safe place. Tell your grandchildren about it. But don’t be sad. The Journal is being upgraded to a slick, four-color magazine.

We’re excited to announce a brand new publication will soon be gracing your mailbox. Here’s what you can expect: beautiful pictures depicting life in Oklahoma, full length features on the people and places that make Oklahoma unique, and regular columns by Farm Bureau leaders and insurance executives.

The magazine will feature a modified classified advertising section, free to Okla-

Farm Bureau adds cotton to revenue assurance program Oklahoma farmers producing soybeans, corn and cotton have the opportunity to participate in a revenue assurance program designed to reduce their risks for the 2003 crops.

“We’ve offered revenue assurance for soybeans and corn before, but this is the first year the coverage is being offered for cotton. Oklahoma Farm Bureau spent the money to also make it available for cotton growers this year,” said Scott Bulling, Oklahoma Farm Bureau Crop Insurance crop program manager.

Farm Bureau introduced the revenue assurance program in 2000 in Oklahoma for corn, soybeans and wheat.

“It has proven to be an extremely popular method of insuring crops and decreasing risks,” Bulling said.

The revenue assurance program is more than just crop insurance. Bulling said it

essentially is a “money in the bank guarantee” for producers.

Producers still are able to sell their crops traditionally as well as collect the guarantee when they purchase the revenue assurance coverage.

“OFB simply is trying to give producers

county where the crop is produced.

“But the cost usually is a relatively low input compared to the benefit it offers, and it protects your financial future,” he said.

The deadline to bind coverage for spring planted crops is March 15. Bulling said since producers might not be sure how

“Producers aren’t just rolling the dice with their crops when they purchase revenue assurance coverage. Instead, they are guaranteeing themselves a return.” options to reduce the risk of producing a crop. Producers aren’t just rolling the dice with their crops when they purchase revenue assurance coverage. Instead, they are guaranteeing themselves a return.”

The amount of coverage afforded through the revenue assurance program varies from 65 to 75 percent. Cost varies from crop to crop and also depends on the

many acres of the crops they intend to plant on that date, they can sign up and provide the actual acreage later.

“They’re only charged for the acres they plant,” he said.

“I urge producers to obtain this coverage through Farm Bureau because we are owned and operated by farmers and have a good understanding of the needs of pro-

ducers and the desire to help them improve their bottom line.”

Oklahoma Farm Bureau has a toll-free number for producers interested in the revenue assurance program. Producers who call 1-877-913-7475 will be put in touch with a crop protection specialist who will answer their questions. That specialist also is authorized to sell the revenue assurance program coverage.

Bulling also said Farm Bureau offers a similar program for interested grain sorghum producers.

“We can do essentially the same for grain sorghum producers with CRC coverage. It is almost an identical policy to revenue assurance.”

Farm Bureau crop protection specialists also can answer producer questions about and write multiple peril, crop-hail, crop revenue coverage and CAT coverage.

County Farm Bureau, received a plaque and trip to the AFBF annual meeting as Oklahoma’s winner.

He was the first Oklahoman to be named the nation’s top crop advisor. Fourteen state Farm Bureaus participated in this year’s Excellence in Crop Advising Awards program.

The award program, now in its fifth year, recognizes Certified Crop Advisors for their outstanding work in advising Farm Bureau members about crop production decisions.

The awards program is sponsored by AFBF in association with the American Society of Agronomy. These awards are to recognize Certified Crop Advisors who have performed superior service for farmer clients in nutrient management, soil and water management, integrated pest management and crop production.

The purpose of the award is to increase the awareness that farmers and their service people strive to do their best in making both economically and environmentally sound cropping decisions.

“With the increasing farm size, complexity of management options and increasingly complex regulations, we foresee farmers relying more and more on the advise of specialists who are Certified Crop Advisors,” said AFBF President Bob Stallman.

Failes is employed by the Burlington Cooperative Association and was one of the 13 out of 67 to pass the difficult Oklahoma Certified Crop Advisor exam the first year it was administered.

The emphasis of his job with the cooperative is service to members. Alfalfa County Farm Bureau praised him, saying his ultimate goal is “to increase producer profitability based on the philosophy that if it is not good for the producer it is not good for the coop.”

Failes annually takes soil samples on farms encompassing 80 percent of the area land in production. He also scouts area producers’ fields for insects, weeds, diseases and other production problems on 80,000 acres of wheat. He performs similar duties on some 12,000 acres of alfalfa as well as pastures, sunflowers, corn and soybeans.

“Kenneth not only applies his knowledge at work but also is active in researching new pesticides and crop varieties to try to make production agriculture more profitable for the farmer,” said the Alfalfa County Farm Bureau.

Failes also is involved with introducing optical precision sensing technology to farmers in the area. It is a machine that uses light sensors and reads the correct amount of fertilizer for optimum yields.

Failes and his wife, Marcia, have been married for 34 years and have four children and three grandsons. His wife is a special education teacher at Cherokee and also teaches college classes at Northwestern Oklahoma State University during the summers.

“Kenneth Failes knowledge, application of such, participation, initiative, foresight and all around interest show us he is truly qualified and duly deserving of the

We,” said Alfalfa County Farm Bureau, “are proud to call Kenneth a good friend, neighbor and co-worker on our farms.”

Fund raising effort begins for AgFund (Continued from Page 1) He also said OK AgFund will initiate efforts soon to attract donations from OFB employees, county FB employees and members of the statewide FB agency sales force.

“The potential is just awesome. Our primary focus is a $1 contribution from each Farm Bureau member family. With just that small a voluntary contribution from each of our 144,000-plus member families, Farm Bureau can become one of the strongest advocates in the political process in the state.

“The reason this is so important is the knowledge that a number of long-term rural legislators will term out in the next November general election. To that extent, it is important that we help surface and support farm-friendly candidates,” Rich said.

“We believe many are on our county boards, Women’s Committees and Young Farmers and Ranchers today. But to get ag people elected, we must have the means to support the candidates and the OK AgFund is that means.”

OK AgFund will operate under the direction of county members, appointed by the county FB board of directors. A member making the minimum $1 donation is eligible to be appointed.

“The decision about who to support will be made at the county and district levels with each county having representation to ensure their candidates are supported. Final rules and regulations governing OK AgFund will be approved by voting delegates at our 2003 annual convention,” said Rich.

Rich, who heads OFB’s Public Policy Division, said OK AgFund is simply a supplement to all of the organization’s current activities and the activities of its members.

“It is not a substitute,” he said emphatically. “It will never take the place of the direct contact and the personal involvement our members have with their lawmakers.”

Initially, OK AgFund monies will be used to support candidates for state House and Senate seats as well as other statewide elected positions. After required paperwork is filed and accepted by the Federal Election Commission, monies can be used to support candidates for national office.

Non-tax deductible contributions should be sent to OK AgFund, 2501 N. Stiles, Oklahoma City, Okla. 73105. Rich said state law requires all contributions over $50 must be made by check. For additional information about OK AgFund, contact Rich at 405-523-2402.

The delegates also voted to oppose a ban on packer ownership of livestock within 14 days of processing.

“Oklahoma did not support this policy change. However, we successfully instructed the AFBF board of directors to create a task force to study the issue more in depth,” said Kouplen.

During the convention, Kouplen was re-elected to a two-year term on the AFBF board of directors. He serves as a director representing the Southern Region.

Muskogee County’s Beverly Delmedico was elected to a second term on the AFBF Women’s Committee, where she will serve for two years. The longtime Oklahoma

FBW member and leader first was elected to the Southern Region post in 2001.

Oklahoma also shone brightly during the Gold Star Awards ceremony held Jan. 19. OFB earned 11 gold stars in recognition of its superior work in the AFBF organization’s program categories.

The 15th annual Farmer Idea Exchange competition held during the convention saw Ron Cole of Vici earn the AFBF award for the “Most Innovative Idea” plus a $250 check in prize money for his achievement.

Cole was recognized for his all-terrain cedar saw. He adapted his four-wheeler by building a special saw to cut cedar trees out of pastures. Cole developed the saw to address the problem of red cedars taking over grassland in his area. The saw is mounted by a bracket to an all-terrain vehicle and is designed to cut small trees with

a base of five inches or less.

Two Oklahomans also earned national recognition during YF&R competitions at the AFBF convention. Lee Vanderwork of Mutual was a top 10 finalist in the national Excellence in Agriculture Award while Audrey Harmon of Yukon made it to the “Sweet 16” round in the discussion meet.

The American Farm Bureau Foundation for Agriculture (AFBFA) recognized the Oklahoma board of directors for outstanding support to the foundation and its programs with the Leader Award. To quality for the award, each member of a state board donates at least $50 to the foundation.

The Oklahoma County Farm Bureau board received also received the Leader Award given to counties when each member of the board donates at least $25.

Oklahoma to observe Farm Bureau Week Feb. 17-21 (Continued from Page 1) The proclamation signed by Gov. Henry recognizes Oklahoma Farm Bureau’s service to the farmers and ranchers of the state since 1942. It also lauds the organization for maintaining offices in all 77 counties.

“Through its concern for both producers and consumers, (Farm Bureau) helps to develop a basic understanding of the com-

plex structure that puts food on the tables of all Americans and, most of the world,” says the declaration.

With the proclamation, the governor officially acknowledged Farm Bureau for dedicating itself and its members to maintaining “agriculture as an honorable and respected profession which has been the base for much of the economic prosperity for the State of Oklahoma.”

Farm Bureau Week is a focal point for the organization’s membership campaign.

More than four of every five farmers and ranchers and about one of every nine families in Oklahoma belong to Farm Bureau.

Oklahoma Farm Bureau’s membership surpassed 144,000 member families in 2002, the 14th consecutive record-breaking membership high for the state’s largest and most influential farm organization.

Board dedicates county office building addition to its president

By Mike Nichols Haskell County Farm Bureau President Ralph Kelly recently was recognized by his board of directors with an honor usually awarded posthumously.

The longtime county leader’s name now is enshrined on a bronze plaque on the addition to the county office complex in Stigler.

The new wing, which more than doubled the size of the building, was dedicated to Kelly during special recognition ceremonies.

“It was really a surprise to me,” said Kelly. “The board just decided they wanted to name it after me. That’s what they wanted to do. They had a nice plaque made for the building. You can’t very well turn an honor like that down. I guess they felt like the building should have a name of some sort.”

Kelly was instrumental in adding the wing, which houses the county Farm Service Administration and Soil Conservation offices. A Farm Credit Administration representative also uses space for his weekly visit to Haskell County.

“I was on the county FSA Committee and we were in a building on the other end of town. We got approved to move and needed a building. The committee decided to build a new building and made specs for it.”

Kelly remembers thinking to himself that Haskell County Farm Bureau might be willing to construct such a facility and become the landlord for the government offices.

“We’ve got a great board and we discussed it and decided that we could submit a bid. Everything fell together and they accepted the bid. We got the loan from Farm Bureau Insurance.”

Kelly said the arrangement has been beneficial for all parties.

“They’re great people to work with,” he said, referring to the government employees now located in the county’s office complex.

“This helps Farm Bureau. I thought it would be a great asset to our farmers and ranchers to have all the government agencies in one building along with Farm Bureau. It just seemed like the right place to concentrate all the things farmers and ranchers do into one locality.”

A parts store is located just across the highway from the county office and a new farm store is under construction next door to it that

“We’ll be able to expose Farm Bureau to the community more than we did in the past. We just didn’t have the funds to do it, but now we can.” truly will offer farmers and ranchers their “own end of town” in Stigler.

“This building addition gives us the money to do things for the community. We’re just so glad that we were able to do all that.”

Kelly said county Farm Bureaus like his, which has just over 500 members, struggle to be a viable part of their communities since they have little money available after meeting their own expenses.

“It’s just been great. It certainly has helped us do a lot of things we couldn’t do. I’m just so glad it worked out the way it did. We’re in good shape financially and we’ll be able to do a lot more (for the community) than we were before.”

Kelly said the county is working to develop a scholarship program for students planning to major in agriculture as a direct result of funds generated by the rental income from the building addition. He also expects the board to become more financially in-

“We got plans to do stuff to benefit the entire county, not just farmers and ranchers. We’ll be able to expose Farm Bureau to the community more than we did in the past. We just didn’t have the funds to do it, but now we can. We’ve just been really fortunate here in Haskell County.

I think we’ll continue to grow and be able to better serve the people of Haskell County.

community and the opportunity to better serve the farmers and ranchers. I know there’s a lot of counties that could use it.”

Kelly has been on the Haskell County board about 30 years. He’s served as secretary and vice president, and was elected president about six years ago after the late Lee Tyler retired.

“It’s just a great organization,” he said, referring to Farm Bureau.

He and his wife, Myrtle, who served on the state Farm Bureau Women’s Committee, operate a 500-acre farm and ranch northwest of Stigler. Kelly, one of only three “dirt farmers” in the county, grows corn and soybeans in addition to maintaining a cow-calf herd.

Public Enemy Number One: red cedars gobble up 762 acres per day Oklahoma lost about 762 acres per day to cedar encroachment between 1985 and 1995, according to the USDA’s Natural Resources Conservation Service.

“Eastern red cedar is native, but was historically controlled by fires,” said Jim Johnson, soil fertility and crops specialist with the Noble Foundation. “Now land that was once open prairie is covered with cedar and no longer provides grazing for livestock.”

Dr. David Engle of the Department of Plant and Soil Sciences at OSU lists some of the negatives associated with cedars as increased pollen and allergy problems, decreased soil moisture, competition for space and sunlight, loss of ecosystem diversity and increased wildfire danger.

He said there are many methods to control cedar, including burning, chaining, cutting, dozing, mowing, spraying and combinations of these.

The Oklahoma Red Cedar Task Force, chaired by OFB Director Bob Drake, said in its final report that red cedar must be properly managed or the 300,000 acres per year the trees infest in the state will continue to accelerate.

OFB backs implementation of state task force report

Red cedars almost completely have taken over this site, seriously degrading rangeland and wildlife values. They also are highly susceptible to wildfire.

The task force recommend more prescribed burning as a means to control cedars, and said public awareness should be

increased of the importance of fire as a natural process in native plant communities.

It also recommended implementation

of Firewise, a national program designed to help people reduce their wildfire risk by creating defensible space around their homes and property.

Increased landowner involvement was a third recommendation, with action such as legislation encouraging more prescribed burning and a reduction of a landowner’s liability when conducting such burns. Other suggestions included establishment of a certified burner program and implementation of a fee-based prescribed burning service as well as a vendor training program.

The task force also pointed out the need for further research and economic development activities.

Oklahoma Farm Bureau supports implementation of the task force’s report and includes that recommendation in its 2003 Legislative Priority Program.

“Cedar, like any weed, is easiest to control when it is small,” Johnson said.

“This winter, while your pastures are dormant, take time to assess if you have small cedars.”

Landowners are urged to take time to control cedars now before their land becomes part of the daily 762-acre statistic.

Oklahoma Farm Show to mark 40th edition This year’s Oklahoma Farm Show, March 28-30, at the state fairgrounds in Oklahoma City marks the 40th edition of an agricultural exposition that began with 11 exhibits on an asphalt parking lot.

The show now takes up more than five buildings of the state fairgrounds complex and includes everything from computer and marketing services to the traditional parade of new tractors, harvesters and till-

age equipment. It also has become known for its cattle handling demonstrations and animal health workshops.

Oklahoma Farm Bureau once again will have its popular Watering Hole booth at the show. It will be located in the Kitchens of America Building, and members are invited to visit.

Show times are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. each of the three days. Admission is free.

New tax credit encourages retirement savings Editor’s Note: This article is contributed by Steve Halpern, an IRS senior tax specialist in the Oklahoma City office. He is a longtime member of Oklahoma County Farm Bureau.

Some say we don’t save as much money for retirement as we used to: a new tax credit may help some of us put a little more into our savings.

To encourage workers to make contributions to a retirement plan or IRA, Congress enacted a new tax credit effective for contributions made after Jan. 1, 2000. It is called the Retirement Savings Contributions Credit and the amount of the credit is determined by the contributions made and the credit rate.

This nonrefundable credit could reduce your federal income tax liability, dollarfor-dollar, down to zero. The credit rate can be as low as 10 percent or as high as 50

percent, depending on your filing status and adjusted gross income — the lower your income, the higher the credit rate. The maximum credit for 2002 is $1,000 per return ($2,000 if married filing jointly).

Your eligible contributions must be reduced by certain taxable and nontaxable distributions made after 1999 and before the due date (including extensions) of your 2002 tax return.

See IRS Publication 590, Individual Retirement Arrangements (IRAs) Chapter 5, for more information.

To claim the Retirement Savings Contributions Credit, simply complete Form 8880 and attach it to your Form 1040 or Form 1040A. For more information on the Retirement Savings Contributions Credit, see Publication 17, Tax Guide 2002 for Individuals or Publication 590.
