Mega dairy defiant as Green County tries to verify wet site safe to build

By Tony Ends Editor

MONROE — Legal and design staff trying to permit a 130-acre site for a mega dairy west of Brodhead sparred defiantly with Green County last week.

At issue is whether a single pit dug in December to prove a geological condition more than 25 feet below very wet surface conditions is adequate

permit proof – and whether the county has authority to require more site characterization.

“I think more proof is completely unwarranted,” said Ronnie Williams, engineer for the Pinnacle Dairy proposed on Sylvester Township farmland.

The massive industrial-scale complex intends to feed and milk more than 5,000 cows and handle more than 70 mil-

lion gallons of liquid waste annually.

“The Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection did not require additional site work of us in December. We’ve done it to show the site meets conditions above and beyond the state’s requirements,” Williams told Green County Land and Water Conservation Committee members last Thursday.

Legislative hearings begin on measures severely limiting, debating town control

By Tony Ends Editor

MADISON — Despite drawing criticism from some rural, farm, town and environmental groups, proponents to Assembly and Senate bills set to make sweeping changes in the state remained staunch advocates this past week.

Legislative hearings began on a number of the measures, drawing crowds of people trying to testify last Tuesday, in particular.

State Sen. Frank Lasee (R-De Pere), who authored 13 of the most controversial bills, including companions to AB 582 and AB 600 described in last week’s Independent Register, remained defiant.

“These bills aren’t meant to just fill up the statute books,” stated Lasee in press messages blanketing the state. “These are good-government reforms meant to help free citizens live freely, lessening the burden of overbearing government regu-

lations.”

Lasee said his bills (SB 147, 288, 243, 432, 375, 403, 445, 464) are moving forward in the Senate and in companion measures on the Assembly side of the Legislature.

Opposing groups such as the League of Conservation Voters issued statements of their own regarding the bills and the public hearings.

“Assembly Bill 582/Senate Bill 464 drives a stake through the heart of local communities, opens the floodgates to polluters, and is full of handouts to big developers,” said Kerry Schumann, the League’s Executive Director, pledged to nonpartisan protection of the state’s natural resources.

“In its current form, this Developer Grab Bag would place bans on moratoriums, a tool local governments use to buy time to determine policies and procedures before a new industry has moved in and it’s too late; cut local governments’

ability to create new zoning laws; give tax breaks to corporate developers who want to build on lands that have historically been deliberately protected, like conservation easements; and increase tax burdens on residential property owners by exempting rich developers from paying their fair share for their land.”

In another bill Lasee put forward in the state Senate, a longtime measure precluding nuclear power plant expansion in Wisconsin until safety and radioactive waste issues are resolved would be banned.

“Though continually mischaracterized and demagogued, these bills are a well-balanced and reasoned approach,” Lasee stated, in a release last Thursday afternoon.

“I stand for personal freedoms, liberty, and property rights. That’s what I’ve crafted this legislation to do and why we as a legislative body are moving it forward,” Lasee said.

“I was a primary author of the rules (Wisconsin has) in place now. I was at DATCP for 11 years,” he said. “We have a 26-foot layer of clay below this site that is, in my estimation, protecting the drinking water. It is perfectly fine for (the site) to be perched under state requirements.”

Attorney Leah Ziemba of Michael Best and Friedrich, representing the Tuls family that seeks county and state permits to build Pinnacle, challenged the county, too.

“We understood the county’s requests for additional site characteristic work done in December was additional, above and beyond state requirements,” Ziemba told the county committee. “We have met with the state; we have answered their questions.

“We’re concerned about the county’s legal authority to require additional work,” she said.

Green County’s Land and Water Conservation agent, Todd Jenson, shared his own reasons last week for requiring additional test wells before accepting Pinnacle’s permit application as complete.

Jenson first went over for county supervisors on the committee, and a room full of citizens concerned about the proposal, Pinnacle’s grounds for permitting the site.

Preceding the single soil pit and deep hole, which Williams maintained last week proved the site is perched and not a “flowage” of soils too wet to build, Jenson cited problems in 60 percent of borings.

With state engineers, Jenson

determined 28 of 41 test holes across the proposed construction site had water coming into them, mottling evidence that water had been there, or coloring showing saturation. Jenson shared those concerns with the committee last month.

In response, Williams Engineering dug a soil pit Dec. 9 about 40 feet deep to try to prove a perched water table at the site. “Perched conditions may be drained, or waterbearing materials removed to achieve separation distances in the water tables and relive hydrostatitc loads on a facility,” Jenson said last week.

The engineering firm has designed a tile system with a gravity outlet to Searles Creek, about 9 feet below the site’s floor elevation for the proposed manure storage structures, Jenson said.

“They intend to relieve hydrostatic load on the manure storage structures through the perimeter drainage tile in combination with protecting the manure storage structures from hydrostatic pressure through use of an additional 12 inches of clay liner thickness,” Jenson said.

After digging the 2,700-square-foot pit at the proposed site for the concentrated animal feeding operation permit, Williams Engineering excavated a lower hole, 22 feet into a clay layer and about 12 inches into a saturated red sand layer.

“Initially, this lower hole began to collapse near the bottom of the hole to a top eleva-

Longtime Brodhead print company extends Green County service

By Tony Ends Editor

BRODHEAD — Another chapter in a local family’s long line of printers is unfolding here this week.

Kim and Kathy Markham, who’ve owned and operated the Register Print Center since 1996, have purchased Monroe Graphics in Monroe.

“We look forward to continuing to serve our Register Print Center customers as well as our new Monroe Graphics customers,” said Markham in an interview about the acquisition.

“We’ve a real depth of experience since many of our own 11 employees have been with us more than 30 years. We hope to keep on the six sales people representing Monroe Graphics, and we’ll retain the name,” he said, describing a range of print services that will also stay the same for all the print services’ customers.

“Any kind of quick print or commercial printing, color copying, graphics design, mailings. We were the first web offset cooperative printing plant in the state in 1965, and we continue to print weekly newspapers in Durand, Ill., Albany and Evansville. Edgerton is still part of the co-op, but prints in Janesville now.

“We print a dozen newspapers and some specialty publications, such as The Milkweed (produced by Pete Hardin of Brooklyn).”

For nearly 80 years, the

Kim Markham at the printing press last week in the Register Print Center.

Markham family also owned and operated the Independent Register newspaper in Brodhead. The Markhams sold the newspaper side of their business to Rock Valley Publishing Co. in 2008, a particularly shocking economic year globally.

The Markham line has toughed out more than its share of rough economic years.

Markham’s grandfather, Dan Markham Sr., first took on the Register printing business in 1929, weathering the stock market crash of that year and the ensuing Great Depression.

“My Uncle Dick and father,

Dan Jr., took over from him in the 1950s. My grandpa worked here into his 80s. He had a stroke at his desk here at work, and never got out of the hospital after that. He passed away within a month.”

In its sale to the Markhams, Monroe Graphics is marking a milestone, as company Vice President and General Manager Carl C. Hearing noted in announcing the transaction.

“After nearly 25 years of service to our company, press operator and customer service representative, Howard Skibinski is retiring,” Hearing stated. “With Howard’s retire-

ment, we have chosen to sell Monroe Graphics instead of seeking a replacement for him.

“We were excited to find a local quality printing company to step in and meet the needs of our current customers. Kim Markham and the staff of Register Print Center assumed that role on Dec. 30, 2015,” he said.

“We have had an ongoing working relationship with Kim for a number of years, and I can assure you that he will provide the same quality service (people) have grown accustomed to, while working with Howard.”

Farmers invited to economic outlook talks today, next week

By Tony Ends Editor

PRAIRIE DU SAC — Badger-land Financial crop insurance team members continue hosting a series of 16 “Lunch and Learn” events this week.

Speakers in the series are focusing on economic projections and ways to manage risk in uncertain times.

The annual meeting agenda, including sessions today in Monroe, gather a panel to discuss strategies that manage current volatility in agricultural markets, land prices and interest rates in 2016 and beyond.

“It looks like the first quarter of 2016 is going to be awfully tough,” said Paul Dietmann, Badgerland Emerging Markets Specialist, in a phone interview last Friday.

“The longer-term for this year is a little bit better, but still challenging, and interest rates are starting to creep back up.

“Fortunately, a lot of our farmers (with Badgerland) have locked in their rates, so they’re going to come through OK in that respect,” said Dietmann, who has been 4 years with Badgerland, representing them in the lower 33 counties of Wisconsin.

Dietmann is not part of the programming this week and next, but he helped identify the speaker on tap today in Monroe and again tomorrow in Waunakee – Dan Smith, a division administrator with the state’s agriculture department.

“Dan’s a really interesting guy; I actually hired him on when I directed the Farm Center for DATCP,” Dietmann said.

“He’s a really sharp, deep thinker, and he really cares about people.”

Smith ran his family’s dairy farm in the Freeport, Ill., area for 30 years before working with Dietmann in his first years with DATCP. Smith then served for a time as CEO of Midwest Bio Ag before state Agriculture Secretary Ben Brancel brought Smith back to DATCP to lead the agriculture development division.

Dietmann who also worked a number of years in several UW Extension capacities, has a dual role for Badgerland, leading a beginning farmer program, as well as emerging ag markets.

He gave 50 talks of his own for the member-owned lending and advising coop last year, and is available to make presentations in 2016. He will be working with the Farm Beginnings Program this Saturday at Angelic Organics Learning Center in Caledonia, Ill. In the economic outlook seminar schedule for all events (except Mondovi): registration begins at 10 a.m.; a crop insurance update is at 10:30 a.m.; and 10:50 a.m. starts “The Economic Outlook of Ag.” Participants in each session will receive an update from a featured guest speaker on what’s currently going on in agriculture and projections for what’s in store for 2016 and beyond.

Those sessions, at 11:30 a.m. each day, are titled “Preparing for a Bumpy Ride” In this panel discussion, experts will provide insight on strategies to manage volatility of the markets, land prices, interest rates and more this year

and into the future.

The panel includes lending and appraisal specialists from Badgerland Financial and a featured guest speaker.

Each session includes a lunch at 12:30 p.m., plus the opportunity to pose questions and get answers.

All farmers are welcome to join Badgerland staff and speakers for the meal and to hear firsthand about topics important to them locally. All are welcome; participants do not need to be a Badgerland Financial customer to attend one of these events.

The annual meetings, which started last week in other state locations, continue today, Wednesday, Jan. 13, with talks being held in Fond du Lac at the Holiday Inn (625 W. Rolling Meadows Dr) with Dr. Bob Cropp; in Monroe at the Ludlow Mansion (1421 Mansion Dr) with Dan Smith; and in Black River Falls at the Skyline Golf Club (612 N. 11th St) with Dr. Paul Mitchell.

Tomorrow, Thursday, Jan. 14, Smith will speak again in Waunakee at Rex’s Innkeeper, 301 N. Century Ave. Cropp will speak a second time next Wednesday, Jan. 20,

in Dodgeville at the Dodger Bowl (318 King St).

Other Badgerland economic outlook programs have been arranged next Tuesday, Jan. 19 in Galesville, Mondovi and Richland Center; Jan. 20 in New Lisbon; and Jan. 21 in Baraboo.

Registration begins 30 minutes prior to each program.

Meetings typically last 3 hours.

Lunch or dinner will be provided at all meetings. For an online listing and to RSVP see: http://badgerlandfinancial.com/ en/Pages/Events.aspx or call (855) 608-8777.

Badgerland Financial, headquartered in Prairie du Sac, Wis., is a customer-owned financial cooperative, serving agriculture and rural America. Badgerland is one of the region’s leading providers of credit, crop insurance, tax and accounting services to farmers, agribusinesses and rural residents.

The company pledges a commitment to its vision to cultivate prosperity for agriculture and rural Wisconsin by serving member-owners through offices in 33 southern Wisconsin counties.

Hearing said Monroe Graphics customers can request a quote or place printing orders by stopping at The Monroe Times office and asking for him, or by calling (608) 3283288 and talking to Markhams and their staff. The new email address for Monroe Graphics is MonroeGraphics328@ gmail.com Markham, who came to the newspaper in 1977 and has worked more than 50 years with the family business, has signaled no sign he’s slowing down.

For a few years after graduating with a business degree from UW Madison, Markham worked other jobs in Milwaukee and Dodge County.

He passed the Certified Public Accounting exam and was licensed as a nursing home administrator.

Yet when his brother Kurt left the family printing business to work for General Motors, Markham followed an instinct home. “I thought it might be my only chance to carry on the family business; I took the opportunity to come back and work with the family,” Markham said.

“My daughters and granddaughters have worked here, even when they were really little. My youngest, Angie, is still working with us. My grandma worked here into her 80s also.”

Tall and fit, from a line of coaches and ball players, as well as printers, Markham still likes to get outdoors, hunting and camping. Soft-spoken and good natured, he’s been involved in youth Christian ministry for 41 years, too.

Markham’s warm smile signals there’s more to keep going locally than business. It’s a familiar smile around town, the county will get to know now, too.

HEALTH NUTS

Walnuts, almonds, hazelnuts, peanuts, Brazil nuts and cashews can help reduce LDL (bad) cholesterol, which can have a heart-protective effect. They are also rich in the amino acid arginine, which converts to nitric oxide, which helps relax blood vessels. Nuts can help with weight management because they help you feel full longer. The selenium in Brazil nuts may protect against advanced prostate cancer; men with high levels of selenium had a 60% lower risk. Nuts are rich in vitamin E, which may help prevent cognitive decline.

Peanuts are high in folate, which improves neural health. The latest study on walnuts found they may help improve sperm quality in younger men.

Albany Community News in Brief Many helped fill stockings ALBANY — Women’s League members are saluting a broad community effort in support of the Empty Stocking Fund 2015 campaign because many individuals and groups contributed time and talent generously.

Publicly thanked by the League were Albany Thrift Store, Lions Club, the United Methodist Church, Richard and Sandra Horn, Robert and Pricilla Bump, Kranig Excavating Inc., Dick and Susan Oliver, Mary Macke, Plainview Stock Farms Inc., Louise and Glen Spring, Alfred and Rhonda Roenneburg and Arlyn and Bonnie Zee. Albany Schools, the community, local organizations and Town Bank of Albany all contributed to this effort, which had three phases, according to a Women’s League press release.

Money was first raised from donations to purchase clothing, boots, and coats for children in need in the Albany area.

Area shoppers then helped fulfill Christmas wishes of those in need found on the Giving

Tree displayed in the lobby of the Town Bank of Albany.

Collection of non-perishable food items completed the third phase of these efforts. Albany High School Future Farmers of America Club members with advisor Jamie Rupp directed this collection.

Jolly Mixer 4-H Club also undertook contributions for a successful food drive this season.

The League thanked Bobbie Hulbert and staff for collecting all monetary donations and for providing a place to bring purchased gifts during the Empty Stocking Fund campaign.

Jim Briggs, John Thill and janitors helped clear a storage area each year for collection of food items in the schools.

Larry and Hazel Ommodt adopted families to provide additional gifts and clothing.

“Thank you from all the children and their families,” stated Terrie Blumer for the Albany Women’s League. “This project is a success because of the people in Albany reaching out

and extending a helping hand.

Historic show and tell set ALBANY – Historical Society members welcome the public to another “show and tell” scheduled for their upcoming general meeting, Tuesday, Jan. 19.

Following the meeting, which begins at 7 p.m. in the Historical Museum, 117-119 N. Water St., society members or guests will be invited to show items of interest and share a story or historic detail about the items.

“The society has had some very interesting items in the past and usually has a good attendance for the show and tell,” according to Ruth L. Beckman, president.

Refreshments will be served.

Investigation found that Ashley D. Olson, 25, of Juda, was eastbound when her vehicle entered the south ditch.

Olson over corrected, and the vehicle overturned twice before coming to rest on its wheels.

Olson was not wearing her safety belt and was transported by EMS for injuries sustained in the crash. The air bags did not deploy. The vehicle sustained severe damage and was towed from the scene.

Monday, Jan. 4 Woman assaulted: At approximately 4:38 p.m. Monday, Jan. 4, Green County deputies responded to an assault in the 1800 block of Stateline Road in Spring Grove Township.

A 76-year-old female reported that she had been accosted by a stranger at her residence under the pretense of purchasing her barn. Apparently he knocked at the unlocked door before entering the home of his own accord.

Once inside, he engaged the victim in a conversation about the barn, but then knocked her to the floor before fleeing in a red car.

As a result of the assault, the resident briefly lost consciousness and sustained a laceration and minor head injury.

The assailant was a stranger to the victim. He is only described as a white male in his mid-20s, approximately 5’9” tall, stocky build with dark hair and beard. He also appeared well groomed and wore a baseball cap.

The Sheriff’s office assumes that the suspect was attempting to commit a daytime burglary when he unexpectedly encountered the victim. A common tactic used by such persons is to approach a residence that appears to be unoccupied and knock at the door.

If the door is unanswered, it is presumed the owners are away and it is safe to commit a burglary. Should a resident answer the door, the burglars typically will ask for directions and leave without arousing suspicions of their intent.

The purpose of this special release is to inform the public to take precautions in the event the perpetrator persists in this activity.

If anyone has information that may assist with locating a suspect as described in this incident, call the Green County Sheriff’s Office Detective Bureau at 608-328-9400.

Pastoralism in the Pastures is Grazing Conference this weekend WISCONSIN DELLS — Pastoralism is agriculture concerned with raising livestock.

It is animal husbandry that cares for, tends and wisely uses goats, cattle, and sheep in ways that also care for the land by carefully, thoughtfully moving herds and flocks to fresh grass.

If you love learning new ways to care for livestock, you’ll enjoy attending the 24th Annual GrassWorks Grazing Conference set for this weekend Starting tomorrow, from Jan. 14 through Jan. 16, hundreds of people from around the Midwest will gather in Wisconsin Dells for this conference.

They’ll meet to learn how managed grazing can regenerate land and pastures and care for animals all year long.

GrassWorks Grazing Conference is a key event for producers of all kinds of livestock

who have a desire to learn how to improve their land, increase forage production, and graze as many months as possible during the year.

Topics include silvo pasture, grass-based dairy management, and how life below the ground is as important to soil fertility as the animals above it.

Sessions will include dairy, beef, sheep, chicken, pigs, rabbits and goats. Even llama and horse owners have benefited from grazing conferences.

This year’s conference will be held at the Chula Vista Resort in Wisconsin Dells.

It features more than 25 sessions and a tradeshow with more than 40 exhibitors.

Attendees will hear thoughtprovoking and inspiring speakers, according to . In keeping with grass-based leadership in local and sustainable farming, the meals offered at the con-

ference consist almost entirely of seasonal, local, grass-fed selections from the best in graziers and farmers from around the region.

Featured speakers in the 2016 conference are Francis Thicke, from Radianceyt Dairy in Iowa, talking about “The Successful Dairy Farm of the Future,” tomorrow, Thursday, Jan. 14 at 7 p.m.; Jerry Apps, UW Professor Emeritus and Wisconsin Historian, sharing “Stories from the Land” on Friday night; Anna Skemp with Deep Roots Community Farm, talking about “Keeping our Roots deep in our community” on Friday morning; and Steven Kenyon, Greener Pastures Ranching Ltd. and writer for The Stockman Grassfarmer, Saturday, Jan.16.

tion of the collapse at 733.7 feet,” Jenson said.

“Collapse to the lower portion of a test pit excavation sidewall is often indicative of saturated conditions to the soil profile, which make the sidewalls unstable,” he said. “I need to see more test pits dug.”

Containing a volume of cow waste at a single farm site, bigger than a municipality of 100,000 people generate, will require three plastic lined ponds and a fourth concrete-lined structure.

That waste containment will cover an area of 20 acres, said Jenson, who wants to see evidence from a series of holes documenting that the wet area is safe to build all across that expanse.

Pinnacle Dairy’s proposal won a Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources extension last month. The DNR gave Williams until Jan. 22 to prove perched soil conditions that can be safely engineered for a CAFO in Sylvester Township.

As of last week, DNR engineer Gretchen Wheat had not commented on the additional

Pinnacle evidence, Jenson said.

The proposed operation has also yet to turn over signed contracts from its land spreading base for liquid manure, Jenson said last week. “I was told this morning that half the contracts were signed; I don’t have them,” Jenson said, on questioning.

In early November, Brian Mooney, an agronomist with the Delong Company of Clinton, speaking for the Tuls family told Jenson he had obtained some 7,000 acres of commitments.

Mooney said the land base was more than enough to handle the projected 73.8 million gallons of liquid waste from Pinnacle Dairy annually.

Mooney told Jenson in the November Land and Water Conservation Committee meeting that the contracts were on land within 15 to 20 miles of the Sylvester dairy site.

The Tuls operate two more CAFOs in Nebraska, a 6,000cow Butler County facility near Surprise and a 4,600-cow Double Dutch operation near Shelby. Since 2011, they’ve had a third dairy CAFO milking 5,000 animals near Janesville.

Members with 55+ years of service to Home and Community Education were recognized at the state convention held last September.

Green County Association for Home and Community Education (HCE, formerly Extension Homemakers) also honored those in its group who reached milestone anniversaries in November 2015.

They included, 10 years – Norma Bader; 20 years – Beth Campbell, Yvonne Devoe, Rose King, Julie Ostrander; 30 years – Judy Monro; 35 years – Beverly Blumer, Ada Swanton; 45 years – Anne Baumann, Marlene Gobeli, Barbara Haug; 50 years – Fran Albright, Anita Huffman; 55 years – Donna Douglas, Phyllis Flannery; 55+ years – Ardellis Rufener; 56 years, Donna Ladwig; 57 years, Rosemary Showers; 59 years, Janice Wyss; 60+ years, Arleen Hintzman; 61years, Rose Beach; 62 years, Barbara Wyss; 63 years, Sylvia Mhlkuch; 64 years, Beverly Hartwig; 66 years, Kathryn Hanson; 67 years, Joyce Moen; and Marian Trumpy with 70 years.

They helped women, for instance, to learn to make mattresses and sew dresses with feed sacks.

As time went on, clubs formed, and the Extension Home Economists continued to teach resource and family management skills, including how to use new appliances like modern washers and dryers and eventually microwaves.

Women were able to learn together, socialize and be there to support one another as homemakers and mothers.

To this day, HCE clubs in Green County continue to meet and offer learning opportunities and social connections.

Learning to program computers gets boost in New Year ORFORDVILLE — Parkview School District has been offering three courses in computer programming: Visual Basic, Pascal and C++ and Java.

With the tele-presence courses next year, there will be two more courses offered,

Advanced Computer Science A-Java and Advanced Computer Science AB-Java.

By taking these courses in high school, students acquire the awareness and the language to continue in computer sciences in college if they wish to do so, according to programming

teacher Joel Schullo.

Parkview has been a leader in teaching students computer programming, Schullo said.

When he came to Parkview in 1987, teacher Joanie Singstock was already teaching programming. Schullo taught his first class in programming in

the 1993-1994 academic year.

At present, there are only 117 programming teachers in the state of Wisconsin.

Programming is always changing and evolving, but once a person learns the basic language he or she can easily learn more, Schullo said.

Schullo suggests watching the YouTube video “What Most Schools Don’t Teach Short Film – YouTube” to learn more about where one can go with programming. It includes comments by Steve Jobs, Bill Gates and others who have made names and fortunes for themselves through computer programming.

Additional insights to programming can be found at https://hourofcode.com/us This Hour of Code website allows beginners to work for an hour on learning basic coding.

It has programs for different age levels, starting with early elementary grades.

Last year, the Hour of Code allowed students to code a light sequence for lights on a Christmas tree on the site. Schullo’s students took part, and the exercise told them when their sequence would be shown.

This year, the programming offers three areas: Star Wars, Courtesy Photo Joel Schullo with a some of his students in the computer lab, from left, Austin Breitenfield, Minecraft and Anna and Elsa from Frozen.

Alex Roth and Jacob Toberman.

What does Hour of Code uniquely provide students?

“Every student should have the opportunity to learn computer science,” Schullo said.

“It helps nurture problem-solving skills, logic and creativity. By starting early, students will have a foundation for success in any 21st-century career path.”

Anyone who’d like to look at more facts about this area of study can find them on code. org. (Hour of Code website).

The Hour of Code week was Dec. 7 to 13 this year, but anyone can go to the website and use it at any time.

Computer programming opens the door to so many lucrative employment opportunities that more students should consider learning to program, Schullo said.

One student who graduated from Parkview about 15 years ago went in to programming engineering at the Milwaukee School of Engineering and started his first job in the $80,000 range, right out of college at the age of 23, Schullo said.

The job market in programming is so unfiled that graduates can “write their ticket” upon graduation, Schullo said.

It is a wide open field offering all sorts of job opportunities.
