Wheat producers can reduce risks for 2003 crop

Wheat Harvest

OFB offers revenue assurance protection State wheat producers again have the opportunity to participate in a revenue assurance program designed to reduce their risks for the 2003 crop. “This program, brought here by Oklahoma Farm Bureau, protects wheat producers in the case of yield or price decreases or a combination of both,” said Scott Bulling, Oklahoma Farm Bureau Crop Insurance crop program manager. “When we introduced this in 2000, half of producers who had crop insurance switched to the revenue assurance program. I strongly recommend it, especially in today’s environment of both production and price risks. I’d also recommend they purchase the highest level of coverage they can afford.” The amount of protection varies from 65 to 75 percent, with the cost typically being $3 to $5 per acre. Bulling said the cost varies from county to county and with the amount of protection desired. The cost typically is slightly higher than multi-peril crop insurance but less expensive than crop revenue coverage. “This is a revenue product rather than just crop insurance. It essentially is a money in the bank guarantee for wheat producers,” he explained. Wheat producers still are allowed to sell their crop traditionally as well as collect the guarantee when they purchase the revenue assurance coverage. “OFB simply is trying to give producers options to reduce the risk of producing a crop. I certainly would recommend wheat producers looking at this program,” he added. The deadline to bind coverage for the 2003 wheat crop is Sept. 30, 2002. Bulling said producers who are not sure how many acres of wheat they will plant can sign up by that date and provide the actual number of acres seeded later. “They’re only charged for the acres they plant. The premium is not due until next summer,” he said. “I urge producers to obtain this coverage through Farm Bureau because we’re owned and operated by farmers and have a good understanding of the needs of producers and the desire to help them improve their bottom line.” Oklahoma Farm Bureau has a toll-free number for wheat 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 any and all of their questions. That specialist also is authorized to sell revenue assurance program coverage. Bulling said producers also may obtain information about multiple peril, crop-hail, crop revenue coverage and CAT coverage by telephoning the same number.

Oklahoma wheat growers saw the average yield of their 2002 crop sag to 31 bushels per acre, the lowest level in six years. Oklahoma Farm Bureau’s revenue

assurance coverage -- “a money in the bank guarantee” -- can help producers eliminate some of the risks they will face with their 2003 wheat crop.

Oklahoma’s renowned Olympic gymnast Shannon Miller is featured in one display in the Oklahoma Sports Museum. This bronze reproduction of her striding gracefully during an Olympic competition is a highlight of one section devoted to the state’s modernday Olympic greats. Miller won two gold medals in the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta, Ga., and five Olympic medals at the 1992 Games in Barcelona, Spain. She is the most decorated American gymnast in history.

(Continued from Page 1) Shannon Miller, is honored in both bronze and other media. Olympic wrestler Wade Wells is not overlooked, either. There’s also a tribute to Oklahoma’s tenure as host of the National Finals Rodeo and its many professional rodeo superstars. Oklahoma City’s 89ers (now Redhawks) minor league baseball franchise and its Blazers ice hockey team are featured, too. Hendricks also says there are plans to devote a section to athletes with Native American heritage. In addition to the memorabilia, he says the museum also regularly provides educational and motivational programs for youngsters. Jackie Robinson’s Breaking Barriers program, which teaches young people nine essential character values, along with substance abuse programs and historical programs are emphasized heavily. “We have lots of different student groups visit, ranging from eight to 10 to 40 to 50,” says Hendricks. “Middle school groups are the most popular. I really encourage the upper elementary kids to come since they are already being faced with temptations.” The museum also has been working to promote the state’s rich athletic heritage nationwide. It initiated the Warren Spahn Award three years ago in recognition of the Oklahoma left hand pitcher who lead the MLB in total wins (360), ERA and strikeouts. The museum has commissioned a massive statue of Spahn, which will be unveiled as a part of Oklahoma’s centennial celebration. Arizona Diamondback ace Randy Johnson has earned the award three consecutive years, but is being threatened this year by Atlanta Braves star Tom Glavin. “Johnson was honored to come (two out of three years to the presentation banquet) and said why wouldn’t he, because Spahn was the greatest left hander ever,” says Hendricks. “Our Warren Spahn Award has helped give us national recognition. We also established the Bill Teegins Award for excellence in broadcasting. Last year it went to John Rooney, the Chicago White Sox play-by-play man who started out with the 89ers and the OCU Chiefs years ago.” The museum attracts about 4,000 visitors annually from across Oklahoma, the nation, Europe and Asia. Located at 315 W. Oklahoma, it is open Monday, Tuesday, Friday and Saturday 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Vet’s prediction is accurate: West Nile Virus is confirmed By Mike Nichols A prediction by a state veterinarian about the West Nile Virus making an appearance in Oklahoma this year proved to be accurate when state officials confirmed that a crow found in Tulsa tested positive for the disease. Oklahoma Department of Agriculture Veterinarian Dr. Carey Floyd told the JOURNAL in June she felt the disease would make an appearance in the state by the end of summer or by fall. Her prediction was accurate when the Oklahoma State Department of Health and the Tulsa City-County Health Department confirmed July 18 that a crow found in Tulsa tested positive for West Nile Virus. “We have a West Nile Virus positive crow in the Tulsa area,” said Dr. Floyd, noting that it was the first detection of the virus in Oklahoma. She reiterated her earlier caution that horse owners should have their animals vaccinated against the virus. Horses require two vaccinations to be protected against West Nile, and the conditionally licensed vaccine is available only to licensed vets. Dr. Floyd said that many horse owners have contacted veterinarians to have their animals vaccinated against the virus, which is carried by mosquitoes. Demand for the

Individuals should guard against mosquito bites To decrease the opportunities for mosquito bites, Oklahoma Department of Health officials suggest limiting outdoor time when there are high levels of mosquito activity, usually in the early morning and at dusk. If you go outside, wear long-sleeved shirts and long pants and use repellents

containing DEET. It also may be helpful to wear light-colored clothing and limit use of perfumes and fragranced lotions and shampoos. Health Department officials also suggest individuals take precautions to minimize mosquito-breeding locations around their homes and on their property.

vaccine has sent prices higher. She said vaccine costs and veterinary charges for administering the vaccinations vary greatly across Oklahoma, and recommended horse owners contact their local veterinarian to determine what their actual cost will be. The $20 vaccine-only estimated cost mentioned by an ODA spokesperson in the last edition of the JOURNAL was too low, according to Dr. Floyd. West Nile Virus is spread by the bite of an infected mosquito, and many times shows up first in raptors, such as crows and blue jays. An increase in dead birds, particularly crows, blue jays and raptors, is the most visible early warning of the virus. Horses are susceptible to the disease. Dr. Floyd said a horse infected will have symptoms manifested through central nervous system problems. The animals usu-

ally exhibit a wobbly or staggering walk and are unable to get up if they go to the ground. Recovery is possible, but infected equines do have a 30 percent mortality rate. Humans also are susceptible to West Nile. Persons who are bitten by infected mosquitoes usually will develop only a mild flu-like illness. The State Health Department reports that less than one percent will develop the more serious complications of encephalitis. The State Health Department cautions that the West Nile infected crow could have been infected somewhere other than the Tulsa area since crows may fly several miles in a single day. Mosquito trapping and testing also have begun in Tulsa and other locations in the state to enhance West Nile Virus monitoring.

Ag News Briefs Beef checkoff will continue as Appeals Court grants stay The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 8th Circuit granted a request July 10 for stay, which allows the beef promotion program to continue without interruption while an appeal is pending. A June 21 decision by a district court in South Dakota ruled that the Beef Promotion and Research Act is unconstitutional and directed that the collection of assessments cease on July 15. However, the stay postpones the implementation of the South Dakota court decision. The stay was requested by the Department of Justice on behalf of the U.S. Department of Agriculture. In annual independent surveys conducted since the launch of the beef checkoff 15 years ago, producers have repeatedly voiced strong support for the program. In the latest survey, released last January, about 68 percent of the producers said they approved of the program. As a result of the order by the Appeals Court, the beef promotion and research program will continue to operate as normal during the appeal process. Beef producers and importers must continue to pay beef checkoff assessments. Oklahoma producers generate more than $4 million annually in beef checkoff monies. The Oklahoma Beef Industry Council receives 50 cents of each checkoff dollar and the remaining 50 cents is sent to the Cattlemen’s Beef Board, where funds are used for promotion, education and research. The checkoff raises about $85 million each year nationally.

Oklahoma gets designation for haying, grazing of CRP Oklahoma is one of 18 states approved by Agriculture Secretary Ann Veneman for conservation reserve program (CRP) emergency haying and grazing. The approval by the Secretary basically makes all CRP participaints eligible for the emergency measure. The move came after continuing drought and severe weather conditions in the 18 states. USDA also will waive rental reduction fees to encourage donation of hay to farmers and ranchers in immediate need.

LDP benefits are extended USDA announced that some farmers may now be eligible to receive loan deficiency payments (LDPs) for the 2001 crop year. Producers may be eligible even though they didn’t enroll in the production flexibility contract program under the ’96 farm bill. LDPs help offset low commodity prices.

Wild horses just stay wild By Nicola Xanthus Crested upon the green, rolling hills near Bartlesville, wild mustangs graze lush pastures, running freely as their ancestors once did. The animals make their home on the Hughes Ranch, a long-term holding facility for wild horses. Owner-operator John Hughes became a long-term holder of unadoptable wild horses more than 13 years ago. He has a contract with the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) – the agency responsible for the management and protection of wild horses — to maintain up to 2,000 wild horses. “This,” said Hughes, “is a rest home for unadoptable wild horses.” The life the horses experience on the Hughes Ranch is similar to the one they have in the western states they once roamed freely, but the quality is better. The animals graze the native grass within Osage County, consisting of Big and Little Bluestem, Indian and Switch grass. Hughes started in 1989, after close friend Dan Gallery told him about an article he read in the Denver Post for a ranch to pasture unadoptable horses. Together they decided to bid for the project, and the rest is history. Currently, Gallery and Hughes operate Tadpole Cattle Company, holding some 1,919 head, primarily geldings but some mares. “We didn’t know what to expect in the beginning, but we knew the furnished forages we would need,” said Hughes. “We have been pleasantly surprised and it has been a great experience.” Along with Tadpole Cattle Company, Hughes maintains another long-term holding facility with his son, Robert. Together the Hughes family runs 2,000 wild horses, primarily geldings. Wild horses numbers on the range are controlled by BLM to protect the resources and maintain thriving herds. Wild horses are removed from public lands that are over-populated and are offered to qualified adopters. BLM gathers wild horses in 10 western states. The animals are separated into two groups — younger and sounder horses with a high potential to be adopted, and an older group to be placed in a long-term holding facility. The majority of wild horses captured are hard-to-adopt older animals, according to BLM public affairs specialist Christina Tincher. She said there was a need to establish long-term holding facilities for them to live out their lives.

There are only four long-term holding facilities in the United States, and the Hughes operate two of them. Tincher said the animals at the Hughes Ranch lead a good life. “These horses are receiving a quality of life that is better than before. The long-term holding program allows us to find homes for

several days in small pens, horses are moved to bigger ones until they finally are placed in the large fenced pastures. They are fed alfalfa so they will become familiar with it when they are supplemented with hay during the winter months. “Wild horses must be handled in a careful manner,” said the younger Hughes. “They Robert, left, and John Hughes operate two of the four wild horse long-term holding facilities in the United States.

Wild horses keep draggin’ me away And I’ll lose more than I’m gonna win someday Wild horses just stay wild And her heart is all I break Wild horses keep draggin’ me away • Garth Brooks, from his song “Wild Horses” the most adoptable horses first while maintaining a quality of life for older horses.” When the horses arrive at Hughes Ranch, they go through a 10-day process to become accustomed to their new surroundings. After

do not like helicopters, hot air balloons or a man on horse. We move the wild horses by feed truck and check them in vehicles.” “We stock the land as we would with cattle, on an animal per unit basis,” said the

elder Hughes. “We will feed alfalfa hay for a range of 160 days in the winter months when the grass is dormant.” Along with the wild horses the Hughes have a successful stocker cattle business. They currently are working with cattlemen from Florida. When they aren’t stocked to capacity with horses they run stockers, but the horses and cattle are never commingled. “Our main goal as ranchers is the grass — to produce and maintain tame and native grasses,” said Hughes. “Our basic product is grass. Livestock are the means for harvesting it.” The Hughes provide a sanctuary for wild horses that is as close to a natural setting as possible, with the animals being able to roam the land freely. “They are virtually here to live in a free roaming existence,” concluded Hughes. And within the rolling hills of the Hughes Ranch, the horses graze the land with a sense of peace and walk with the confidence of their ancestors that they are free.

State task force is organized to examine impact of red cedar A task force has been organized to examine the impact from the spread of eastern red cedar trees throughout Oklahoma. The task force was formed to review problems and benefits related to this tree species. Many in the agricultural industry contend that the trees have degraded rangelands, pastures and woodlands, increased wildfire hazards, displaced native wildlife and plant populations, and increased human health concerns. Others note that red cedar trees provide benefits, including raw material for a growing forest products industry, desirable trees for windbreaks and necessary food and cover for wildlife. Oklahoma Secretary of Agriculture Dennis Howard and Secretary of Environment Brian Griffin established the task force to examine concerns and the economic opportunities presented by this challenging species. Davis farmer-rancher Bob Drake and Paul Todd of Bethany have been selected as co-chairmen of the task force.

Safety Seminar

Memorial for Ruby A group of Ruby Henderson’s family members was on hand for the Tulsa County Farm Bureau Women’s Committee dedication of a memorial to the longtime Farm Bureau leader. Mrs. Henderson, who died May 28, 2000, dedicated more than half a century of service to Oklahoma Farm Bureau. The Tulsa County Women’s Committee memorialized the longtime leader by planting trees at Gray Elementary School in Bixby. Mrs. Henderson was a longtime resident of Bixby, and served many years on the state Women’s Committee as both a member and was its chairman for seven years. Henderson family members joined Gray Elementary Principal Gary Coleman, left, and Tulsa County Women’s Committee Chairman Lotsee Spradling, fourth from left, as trees were planted in Ruby’s memory. Front row, from left, are Ruby’s great grandson Kyle Bass, great granddaughter Katy Bass and granddaughter Dee Bass. Back row, from left, are Coleman, Ruby’s son Bob Henderson, her brother Basil Ethridge, Spradling, Ruby’s son Don Henderson, her daughter-in-law Helen Henderson, her granddaughter Angie Weaver and great grandson Carter Weaver.

Nearly 40 youngsters attended the 35th annual Oklahoma Farm Bureau Safety Seminar June 10-12. County Farm Bureaus selected and sponsored the youngsters for the seminar, which was held on the University of Central Oklahoma campus in Edmond and the ROPES course near Stillwater. The seminar was a learning experience on a myriad of safety topics for the teenagers, including farm, water and outdoor safety. The ROPES course illustrated the importance of teamwork for the youngsters.
