Bluegrass star Ricky Skaggs will entertain at convention While Oklahoma Farm Bureau’s 61st annual convention will focus on taking care of business for the state’s largest farm organization, delegates and others attending will be entertained by one of the nation’s foremost bluegrass performers at the Nov. 9 banquet.

Ricky Skaggs, winner of eight awards from the Country Music Association and four Grammies, will take the stage at 7:30 p.m. following the evening’s dinner in the Cox Convention Center in Oklahoma City.

Tickets for the evening’s dinner and entertainment will be available at the registration area of the convention. Cost is $25 each.

With exposure spanning from Grand Ole Opry appearances to broadcasting on the Internet, Skaggs is one of bluegrass’ most personable and effective ambassadors. He has had 24 singles on Billboard’s Top 20, including 12 number ones.

Skaggs began playing the mandolin at age 5, and soon developed into a young prodigy, learning guitar and fiddle as well. In 1970, he joined Ralph Stanley’s legendary bluegrass band, the Clinch Mountain Boys, and later moved on to Country Gentlemen, a progressive bluegrass band. After leaving that band in the ’70s, he had three critically acclaimed albums and the first of his many chart singles.

The 1980s belonged to Skaggs. He joined the Grand Ole Opry, and then began racking up his chart-topping music and

began to bring country music back to its roots. He helped pull country music out the its pop sound by blending bluegrass, gospel, honky tonk and western swing with contemporary songs and state-of-the-art production techniques.

Now, Skaggs continues to pay his respects to country’s rich history while nurturing it in the 21st century.

“I always want to try to promote the old music as well as trying to grow and be a pioneer, too,” he said.

Today, Skaggs and his band, Kentucky Thunder, have a string of successful album releases. The latest, “History of the Future,” has one foot planted on the bedrock of traditional bluegrass and one kicking open the door to new sounds and rhythms.

While Skaggs will provide entertainment, delegates attending the Nov. 9-11 meeting will set policy for 2003, elect three state directors and delegates for the American Farm Bureau annual meeting, and hear from a variety of speakers.

Top state awards to counties and individual members will be presented during the annual meeting.

Competitions, such as the annual Discussion Meet, also will be featured during the convention.

The list of speakers invited to the annual meeting includes U.S. Reps. J.C. Watts and Wes Watkins, Flashpoint’s Mike Turpin and Burns Hargis, AFBF Women’s Chairman Terry Gilbert, USDA’s Dale Moore, Bob Funk and the new governorelect of Oklahoma.

She loves them, and makes money

By Mike Nichols The PBS show that aired about 10 years ago didn’t win an Emmy, but nonetheless proved to be a lifechanging telecast for accidental viewer Karon Storm.

“I saw a show on PBS about 10 years ago and I was thunderstruck,” she remembers. “I thought I have to have one!”

The telecast featured alpacas, domestic animals dating back to the ancient Inca civilization in the Peruvian Andes where only royalty was allowed to wear the fine cashmere-like clothing made from their fleece.

It took her nearly two years to find an alpaca to purchase.

“At that time, there were only two breeders in Oklahoma. I found one in Gore. I quit a very stressful job, took money from my 401K and bought my first female.

“You can love and enjoy them and still make money with them. They’re a livestock I can handle. I enjoy raising them, and I enjoy my herd.”

Karon and her husband, George, who works for the City of Oklahoma City, own Storm Haven Alpacas, one of only 10 alpaca operations in the entire state.

The operation actually is Karon’s, but she says “like anything else, it’s all ours. It was all my idea, but he likes them.”

Storm Haven Alpacas is secluded on a sandy-topped hill along Peebly Road in eastern Oklahoma County.

Countless passersby zip past daily, unaware of the unique livestock operation hidden from view atop the hill where the Storm’s home sits.

The virtual backyard operation covers about an acre or so, where the peaceful alpacas spend their days shaded by trees that hide a maze of misters and box fans used when Oklahoma’s summer temperatures swelter.

Tall fences corral the alpacas, protecting the animals against harm from dogs and other predators. A part Great Pyrenees dog also makes its home with the alpacas, guarding them from unwelcome intruders.

“They are defenseless,” says Karon. “All they can do is spit, so you have to worry about predators. I worry about dogs.”

There is cause for concern, because the pint-sized, llama-looking critters are the “platinum” members of the (Alpaca, Page 3)

Proposed Oklahoma Farm Bureau Bylaw Amendment The Oklahoma Farm Bureau board of directors voted unanimously at its Sept. 19-20, 2002, meeting to propose the following bylaw amendment to the delegate body at the Nov. 9-11, 2002, annual meeting: NEW LANGUAGE: Article III, Section II, Paragraph 1 KEY: Such -- language to be deleted Such -- proposed new language At the first election of directors after adoption of a 1961 amendment, the directors of Districts 3 and 9 were elected for one (1) year term; and the directors of Districts 1 and 7 were elected for two (2) year terms; and the director of District 5 was elected for a three (3) year term. At the second election of directors after adoption of said amendment, (1962), the directors of Districts 2 and 8 were elected for two (2) year terms and the director of District 4 was elected for a one (1) year term; and the directors for Districts 6 and 9 were elected for three (3) year terms. Hereinafter, all directors shall be elected to serve for a term of three (3) years, and until their successors shall have been duly elected and qualified to replace them. Such terms of office shall commence with the date of election. Such terms of office shall begin at the close of the annual meeting at which the director is elected, until the close of the annual meeting at which his/her successor is chosen or until the election and acceptance of his/her qualified successor. In addition, a director-at-large shall be elected, in the manner provided in Section I of Article III.

An Editorial

State question is much more than just ban on cockfighting

O

ver the last few months we have heard lots of rhetoric about SQ 687, commonly known as the proposal to ban cockfighting. I am not attempting to tell anyone how he or she should feel about the act of cockfighting. However, I do feel that we must all understand what the petition which creates SQ687 says and how it affects each and every one of us.

This petition certainly pertains to more than cockfighting. The petition makes a number of statements that should concern all of us, not just cockfighters. This question will ban ownership, possession, or caring for of any bird which could be used for cockfighting. Many years ago in our state we banned the fighting of dogs.

Hardly any of us would argue that we should have dog fights. Yet, did we ban the owning of a dog? Did anyone go to jail for 10 years for caring for their pooch?

Critics argue that no one would have a fighting rooster for a pet. Aren’t they just as loving as a pit bull?

This petition declares that any equipment that could be used for the handling of a fighting bird is contraband and subject to seizure. Contraband is defined as cages, pens, feeders and anything else that could be used to care for a chicken.

Are we really about to pass a law that says government can come on your private property and seize a chicken feeder? Does this border on fascism?

Next the petition states that any person who performs any act or service that may be in the furtherance of a cockfight is guilty of a felony and subject to 10 years in prison and a $25,000 fine. What does “any act” include? Are we talking about feed dealers, veterinarians and farmers? If you help fix a flat tire of a man on his way to a cockfight are you a felon?

Has the agenda of PETA, the Animal Liberation Front, the Humane Society and others simply gotten out of hand, when we consider putting people in jail for 10 years for growing chickens?

The Oklahoma Department of Corrections recently announced major budget cuts and urged the legislature to take action before the state is forced to release, or leave unguarded, hundreds of dangerous criminals. How many horrible acts of violence are committed against our society in which criminals do not serve 10 years in prison? Is this really the time for us to consider building a new state penitentiary to house renegade chicken growers?

Finally, to my knowledge over 20 different strains of roosters live in Oklahoma.

If we are to fully implement this ban on growing or caring for these chickens, do we not mandate their slaughter? Aren’t many of the same people who carry the animal rights banner those same people who demand protection of the spotted owl and the Arkansas River Shiner? Can they really believe that slaughtering these 20 different species of birds is in the best interest of our state? And what about the present chickens? If it is illegal to own or care for these birds, doesn’t the law mandate their slaughter?

However any of us may feel about the act of cockfighting, I would ask that we seriously consider the entire needs and values of our state before we send government on private property to seize chicken feeders and send people to jail for 10 years with felony conviction for the raising of birds.

A bred female will fetch a similar price in today’s market. Males go for $5,000 to $6,000.

“It’s a breeder-based thing. We won’t,” Karon declares, “go the way of ostriches or emus because alpacas don’t lay 100 eggs a year.”

The Alpaca Owners and Breeders Association is helping to ensure the success of the animals in the U.S. In 1998, it effectively banned importation by opting to refuse to register any more imported animals.

“It was done to keep the price higher and the gene pool in order and to get the industry going in the U.S.,” explains Karon.

She says several states have seen “booming” expansion of alpaca herds. Karon also keeps an eye on the rising popularity of the animals through fairs and shows. She helped start the alpaca show at the State Fair of Oklahoma, and now serves as the show superintendent. The 2002 State Fair show attracted 150 entries from 31 breeders, with exhibitors traveling from as far away as Oregon to compete.

“The cooler states have been popping for a while and it’s catching on here. There is a light at the end of the tunnel to support our new industry.”

The “light” she mentions is a fiber market. Alpaca owners do not call their animal’s coats fleece. It is properly called fiber and it is the most luxurious coming from any natural source.

The expensive fiber is sold by the ounce, with a mature animal producing eight to 10 pounds annually. Unlike wool, it contains no lanolin or grease. The fiber contains microscopic air pockets that allow the creation of lightweight apparel with an extremely high insulation value (five times that of wool) with no itch like wool due to its smooth cell structure. Alpacas produce 22 natural colors, and their fiber also accepts dye readily.

“It is one of the world’s finest (fibers) and has the best thermal capacity. Alpaca apparel is available in very high-end outlets (like Nieman-Marcus and finer catalogs). An alpaca sweater will cost $175 to $250,” says Karon. “Alpaca apparel is big in Europe, and Japan and Korea are buying lots of the fiber now.”

Currently, alpaca numbers in the U.S. are too small to attract significant interest by large fiber mills. She says mills are so

large that they could process the entire crop of U.S. alpaca fiber in one day.

“There’s a fiber market waiting out there.

We’ve got an industry that wants it. I think it’s an explosion getting ready to happen.”

Most U.S. growers now send their fiber to a cooperative. The coop processes the fiber and will return it to the grower. Karon has used her fiber as barter as well as for apparel. She has sweaters and scarfs, and alpaca socks she wears in the dead of winter to keep her feet toasty.

“We’re still 10 to 15 years away from a lucrative fiber market,” she says. “You can sell the fiber, but right now the alpaca is a breeder driven industry, with sales to others to increase the herd. The sale of fiber does help cover the annual expenses of maintaining the animals.”

Actually, the annual cost to maintain the animals is relatively small. Only minimum shelter is needed and if it weren’t for her fear of predators, Karon could put the ruminants on pasture.

Up to 10 alpacas per acre can be maintained on pasture. Storm’s alpacas are fed hay and mineral supplement since pasture isn’t available. They do require cool, fresh water.

“They’re hardy – their life expectancy is 20 to 25 years — and they’re smart,” she says. “They’re pretty much disease-free.

They come from a part of the world where their survival is hard.”

Females give birth to a single 12- to 20pound baby after nearly a year-long gestation period. She said she’s never had a birthing problem in her herd, and, in spite of her best efforts, rarely has she seen one of her females give birth.

“They’re up 30 to 45 minutes after being born,” Karon says of the babies.

Females mature at about 18 months, usually tipping the scales at 100 pounds.

Males don’t mature until reaching two and one-half years, but come in at a more hefty 150 pounds.

“Alpacas are a true livestock,” says Karen, “with a large existing market waiting for the fiber harvest. This is what sets alpacas apart from other new or alternative livestock.”

She says the low birth rate and closed importation, along with knowledgeable, selective breeding practices, are keeping the industry a top livestock investment.

“Most people that have them are just nuts about them,” declares the Oklahoma County Farm Bureau member. “I’ve been happy ever since (starting my herd). It’s been very soothing and healing.”

Craig County doles out cold ice cream treats during scorching fair Craig County Farm Bureau helped fairgoers best the blistering heat outdoors during the county fair by passing out ice cream bars, according to County Women’s Chairman Marilynn Spence Marilynn Spence.

“The Craig County Fair was held the first weekend in August. The temperature outside was 104 degrees,” said Mrs. Spence.

“We don’t know how hot it was in the metal show barn.” 000069674 It was the third year that Craig County Farm Bureau treated fairgoers to the ice cream novelties. Previously, the county passed out chilled watermelon slices.

Mrs. Spence, who also serves on the state FBW Committee, said 4-H members held a chili cook off at 4 p.m. and after it concluded, the county FB board and women’s committee passed out the treats.

“We passed out ice cream sandwiches to the children, their parents and any other attendees at the fair barn,” said Mrs. Spence.

In addition to the ice cream, the Farm Bureau hosted the showing of four safety films and provided door prizes at the fair.

State 4-H Hall of Fame inducts members’ son Will McConnell, the 17-year-old son of Lincoln County Farm Bureau members Wayne and CharlaAnn McConnell of Wellston, has been inducted into the State 4-H Hall of Fame.

The State 4-H Hall of Fame is the most prestigious honor a 4-H member can receive in Oklahoma. Only two youngsters are selected each year from across the state for induction, which is based on their outstanding performance in their 4-H careers.

McConnell was inducted during the recent Honors Night Assembly during the 81st annual 4-H State Convention/Roundup before a crowd of 2,500 in the GallagherIba Arena on the campus of Oklahoma State University in Stillwater.

Assisting with the award presentation were Gov. Frank Keating, A&M Board of Regents Chairman Fred Harlan, OSU’s Dr. Sam Curl, Oklahoma Supreme Court Justice James Winchester and Secretary of Agriculture Dennis Howard.

McConnell’s Hall of Fame portrait will be displayed at the Oklahoma Department of Agriculture for one year followed by one year in Ag Hall at OSU before being displayed in the state 4-H office. Another portrait of McConnell already hangs in the Lincoln County Courthouse as a result of him being named to the county’s 4-H Hall of Fame.

McConnell has been a 4-H member for 11 years. He spent three years in the 4-H Cloverbud program and then eight years as a 4-Her. He has received many expensepaid 4-H trips, traveling to Denver, At-

USDA announces signup period for peanut quota buyout

Peanut harvest is underway in Oklahoma. Eligible peanut quota holders on record in their local FSA office will be notified by letter in the near future of their potential eligibility to receive payments under the federal Peanut Quota Buyout Program.

USDA has announced that the signup period for the Peanut Quota Buyout Program runs through Nov. 22.

Generally, to be eligible, a person must have owned 2001 basic peanut quota as of May 13, 2002. Eligible persons will receive a buyout payment of 11 cents per quota pound owned in five equal installments or a lump sum payment of 55¢ per pound. Eligible quota holders have the option to elect to receive either a lump sum payment or the five equal installments.

Letters were sent to producers in July asking them to update their peanut acreage history and yield information with FSA. The information will be used to determine each peanut producer’s peanut base

and yield for counter-cyclical peanut pay-

ments for 2002 through 2007.

Two unique submissions were picked as winners of the Oklahoma Farmer Idea Exchange contest, and will be recognized at the state convention in November in Oklahoma City. Ron Cole’s All Terrain Cedar Saw is pictured on the left. He says the invention is a low-cost item which landowners can use to take control over cedars. It mounts on an ATV and can handle cedars of five inches or less and allows the user to save money by not hiring large machinery to clear land of cedars. Lonnie Sprears’ 3-Point Hitch for a Pickup affords users the opportunity to use their pickups where they normally might use a small tractor (such as spraying). It also can be used to transport equipment, saving travel time.
