• Make sure your children swim in designated areas in the lake.

• A pool should be equipped with an anti-entrapment drain cover and safety vacuum release to prevent children from being caught in the suction of the drain.

• Don’t leave toys in or near the pool, where they could attract unsupervised kids.

• Enroll your kids in swimming lessons around age 4, but don’t assume swimming lessons make your child drown proof.

“There is no substitute for active adult supervision,” Grego said.

• Remember that inflatable swimming toys such as water wings are not floating devices and do not prevent drowning.

• Learn infant and child CPR. “Most drownings happen in residential swimming pools and in open bodies of water,” Grego said. “However, children can drown in

as little as one inch of water and are also at risk of drowning in bathtubs, buckets, toilets and even draining ditches. It is every parent’s responsibility to protect their child from drowning.”

When working with power tools, wear safety equipment like goggles and hearing protection, and make sure all guards are in place on tools, he said.

“Keep power tools in good shape. If they’re broken or have frayed cords or other parts are not in good shape, get it fixed or replace the parts.”

When using ladders, make sure the ladder is in good condition and is the appropriate one for the project. Do not stand on top of or on the second-from-the-top rung of a folding ladder, and make sure there are no power lines overhead.

When doing woodwork, keep the shop clean. Sawdust is a fire hazard, Grego warned.

“Besides, when the shop is clean, it’s easier to get your work done and you’ve got fewer tripping hazards.”

Avoid using cheap extension cords, especially with a high-power tool on the other end. Use a heavy-duty extension cord that is at least 12-gauge, and when working outdoors use an outdoor extension cord.

“Extension cords that are stretched across a driveway and then driven over become a fire hazard, because the cords break down,” Grego said.

When doing yard work, pick up hazardous items such as large sticks and toys, and keep children away from all lawn equipment.

Improper release of feral swine is a felony

FARM CITY FESTIVAL L

klahoma’s State Veterinarian says she suspects some people may be committing felonies without being aware of it as they move feral swine for commercial or hunting purposes.

“From the phone calls we receive and recent public comments it is clear there are people who do not know it can be a felony to release feral swine unless it is on a licensed sporting or breeding facility or a licensed buying or gathering station or slaughter facility,” said Dr. Becky Brewer, Oklahoma Department of Agriculture, Food, and Forestry.

“The penalties for violators can be up to two years in prison and a fine of $2,000.”

Under last year’s HB 1914, no one can release feral swine onto any unlicensed premise. She said there is at least anecdotal evidence that some private landowners are releasing feral swine in areas where the

O

Almost 60 members representing county Farm Bureau Women’s Committees were on hand to celebrate Farm City Festival activities in Oklahoma. Each year Farm Bureau Women’s Committee members from across the state prepare a special luncheon for lawmakers and their staffs to emphasize the major role agriculture plays in the Oklahoma economy, and to celebrate the state’s agricultural efficiency and abundance.

A reception was held at the county office in Stigler that day to express the community’s and county’s gratitude to Van, who retired in June as an insurance agent with the county Farm Bureau. Van spent the last 18 years of his Farm Bureau Insurance career with Haskell County after starting out as an agent in the Pottawatomie County office in Shawnee in January 2000. General Manager Darryl Sinclair, Agency Vice President Bill Downs and Agency Manager Les Colburn also attended to offer the company’s appreciation to Van for his long and productive career. Another agency manager, Larry Hays, also came to extend his congratulations. Larry and Van along with Payne County’s Ralph Ellis began their careers with the insurance company on the same day. Many members from Stigler and the surrounding area also attended the reception to wish Van well.

animals can escape and damage nearby landowners’ properties.

“We have been contacted by several landowners who say they suspect their neighbors are releasing feral hogs that are causing damage to their property,” Brewer said. “So far we have not confirmed these cases but law enforcement and our Investigative Division will look into any suspected criminal activity.”

Some licensed commercial sporting operations import feral swine from other states. The law requires anyone importing feral swine into Oklahoma to have a Certificate of Veterinary Inspection containing a written entry permit from the state of origin, individual identification of each animal and negative brucellosis and pseudorabies test results.

Disease testing must be done within 15 days of importation. Brewer said any animal testing positive for either of the two diseases must be immediately sent to slaughter or slaughtered on the premises.

HB 1914 also gives landowners the option of hunting feral swine at night, a practice that in many cases can make it easier to control the pests. Permits from the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation are available on request of local game wardens.

Some people may be committing felonies without being aware of it as they move feral swine for commercial or hunting purposes.

Getting the most from private forests oo many Oklahoma landowners are literally cheating themselves out of cash each year because they don’t understand the value of trees and timber, said State Forester John Burwell with the Oklahoma Department of Agriculture, Food and Forestry. Resources are available to help landowners receive fair market value for timber.

“Our biggest problem in the state right now is that a large percentage of the

T

state’s tree harvests are done without the advice of a professional,” he said. “Often a sale consists of a logger or logging company making a landowner an offer for his trees.

“Thinking the offer is a lot of money the landowner takes it,” Burwell said. “In most instances a professional forester can get a The first step to effective tree farming for most landowners is to locate a professional forester for advice and an evaluation of their property. The Oklahoma Forestry Services can provide information to help landowners.

higher price by marking the trees, putting out bids and letting competition dictate the sale price.”

There are many quality-of-life benefits from forests and timberland as well, he said.

“Far too many people fail to realize the benefits besides wood production their trees are having on their land and in the community around it,” Burwell said. “Timber is a valuable resource for wildlife habitat, water, air and wood production. When trees are properly managed, you receive those benefits and realize a greater profit at harvest time.”

The first step to effective tree farming for most landowners is to locate a professional forester for advice and an evaluation of their property. In some cases involving small acreages ODAFF foresters can provide the information. For larger operations they can help guide the landowner to private forest consultants for help.

After that, the landowner can discuss both short-term and long-term goals for timber production and get an evaluation of the land

from the professional forester. Burwell said determining the types of trees on the land and identifying potential problems that could impair growth are keys to increasing the productivity of any timber stand.

The forester will then outline recommended actions in a forest management plan.

Ultimately the timber will likely be harvested for sale and at that point the goal will be to maximize the landowner’s income.

“Not waiting for the timber to reach maturity is the single most costly mistake we see timber owners make,” he said. “That’s a mistake that won’t happen to someone using a professional forestry consultant.”

For information on managing your forestland or locating a professional forester, contact Oklahoma Forestry Services at 405522-6158 and ask for the OFS forester who serves your area or a list of private consulting foresters.

Information about managing private forestland also is available on the Internet at www.forestry.ok.gov.

Direct, counter-cyclical signup is underway in new farm bill griculture Secretary Ed Schafer said USDA’s announcement for signup beginning June 25 in the 2008 Direct and Counter-cyclical Payment Program (DCP) helps deliver certainty for the crop year and the option of a timely advance payment.

Contracts are available at USDA Service Centers and signup will continue until Sept. 30.

USDA’s DCP readiness follows the June 12 availability of marketing assistance loan and loan deficiency payment (LDP) provisions, within three weeks of commodity title enactment.

“Within weeks of its becoming law, we began to put a farm bill into the field and into the country,” said Schafer. “USDA does what its employees do best: putting policy into action and delivering results.”

Producers can fill out their 2008 DCP

A

Oklahoma Country • Summer 2008 • 41

contract at any USDA Service Center.

Producers can also sign-up online.

They can choose payment options, assign crop shares and sign and submit their contracts from any computer with Internet access. They can also view and print submitted contract options.

USDA computes DCP payments using base acres and payment yields established for each farm. Eligible producers receive direct payments at rates established by statute regardless of market prices. For 2008, eligible producers may request to receive an advance payment of 22 percent of the direct payment

for each commodity associated with the farm.

USDA will issue advance direct payments as soon as practical after enrollment. Final direct payments will be issued after Oct. 1, 2008.

Counter-cyclical payments vary depending on market prices, and are issued only when the effective price for a commodity is below its target price (which takes into account the direct payment rate, market price and loan rate).

Since 2002, USDA has issued approximately $40 billion in DCP payments to America’s agricultural producers. Participants must submit the completed DCP contract by

Sept. 30. Applications filed after this date will not be approved.

The online, electronic DCP (or eDCP) service saves producers time, reduces paperwork and speeds contract processing at USDA Farm Service Agency offices. It is available to all producers who are eligible to participate in DCP and who obtain eAuthentication accounts.

The electronic service is available by going to http://www.fsa.usda.gov and clicking on “Access eDCP Service.”

To access the service, producers must have an active USDA eAuthentication Level 2

ethic and the need to care for our environment. We are glad to have the Oklahoma Farm Bureau working with us to do this.”

“We’re fortunate to live in a state that recognizes the need for conservation,” said Mike Spradling, OFB president. “From the Dust Bowl to today we’ve worked with highly skilled conservation officials to protect our resources.”

“This is a great partnership, Farm Bureau and OACD,” said OACD Executive Director Clay Pope. “By working together we can help ensure that all Oklahomans, both rural and urban, know the importance of protecting and conserving our natural resources.

“Farmers and ranchers were the first environmentalists and are the primary stewards of our natural resources, but we must stay vigilant and address the problems of today while avoiding the mistakes of the past,” he continued. “Agriculture producers work hard to conserve our soil, water, air, and wildlife habitats, but we still have more to do.

We appreciate the help of the Farm Bureau in helping tell the story of agriculture and helping us promote stewardship statewide.”

Researchers find that insect repellent can be made commercially from pine oil naturally-occurring compound prepared from pine oil that seems to deter mosquito biting and repels two kinds of ticks has been found by Agricultural Research Service (ARS) scientists.

A patent (US 7,378,557 B1) was issued on May 27 for the compound, isolongifolenone, and partners are being sought to bring this technology to commercial production.

In laboratory tests, ARS chemist Aijun Zhang in the Invasive Insect Biocontrol and Behavior Laboratory, Beltsville, Md., and his colleagues discovered that the naturally occurring compound deters the biting of mosquitoes more effectively than the widely used synthetic chemical repellent DEET. The compound also repelled two kinds of ticks as effectively as DEET. Insect repellents are used widely to prevent bites from mosquitoes, sand flies, ticks and

A

other arthropods. For the most part, people apply repellents just to avoid discomfort, but there is a more serious side to the use of these products. Human diseases caused by bloodfeeding ticks and mosquitoes represent a serious threat to public health worldwide.

Malaria is the chief threat, killing approximately two million people per year and threatening billions. Other diseases include dengue fever, chikungunya, Lyme disease and typhus. Some segments of the public perceive efficient synthetic active ingredients as somehow more dangerous than botanical compounds, giving additional importance to the discovery of plant-based isolongifolenone.

Zhang’s team also developed an easy and efficient method to prepare this repellent.

Many natural-product chemicals isolated from plants and essential oils have proven to have repellent effects. Most often, such compounds never attain commercial development and their use is limited or impractical because they are expensive and not available in pure and large quantities.

In contrast, this newly-discovered repellent can be prepared inexpensively from pine oil feedstock in ton quantities for large-scale commercial applications, giving it a significant advantage over many of the other naturalproduct repellent chemicals.

biologists Terry Arthur and Joseph Bosilevac, food technologists Steven Shackelford and Tommy Wheeler, and center director Mohammad Koohmaraie, formerly with ARS. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimate that E. coli O157:H7 causes nearly 73,000 illnesses every year in the United States.

Following a 1993 outbreak, the USMARC scientists launched a massive investigation into the pathogen. Their work was the first to show that the principle source of E. coli O157:H7 in ground beef is fecal contamination on cowhides.

Before, most intervention efforts had focused on eliminating the pathogenic bacteria from feces. The new findings led to a paradigm shift and the development of improved, hidetargeted intervention techniques to reduce and eliminate pathogenic E. coli O157:H7 and other dangerous microorganisms.

The hide-washing system works by using a high-pressure-water wash that removes excess organic matter from the cattle’s hides, which are then sprayed with an antibacterial compound.

The scientists also have demonstrated that several chemical compounds can be effectively used for pathogen removal.

hen it comes to the safety of the U.S. beef supply, everything works out in the wash – the hide wash, that is.

Scientists with the Agricultural Research Service (ARS) developed a hide-washing tool that has significantly improved the safety of U.S. beef while saving the beef industry millions of dollars each year.

An estimated 50 percent of U.S. feedlotraised beef cattle undergo the washing treatment, which has reduced the national incidence of pathogenic Escherichia coli in ground beef samples by about 43 percent.

The tool was developed by ARS scientists at the Roman L. Hruska U.S. Meat Animal Research Center (USMARC) in Clay Center, Neb. The research team included micro-
