Cable-Lok™ is the smoothest move in tarping – from open to closed, simply and easily. Spring-loaded tension with cable attachment keeps your tarp tight, even in moderate wind conditions. Engineered for secure tarp attachment, the extruded tarp attachment slot runs the full length of the roll tube. It anchors with a safety rod, making for easy tarp removal down the road. Pressure is distributed evenly along the fabric – no binding, overlap or friction. Durable nylon spools and a galvanized steel cable keep the system operating smoothly, year after year.

Small Acreage Farmers Mean Big Business Spokane Ag Expo and the Pacific NW Farm Forum continue to meet the needs of a growing number of small acreage farming and ranching operations in the Inland Northwest. Many rural property owners have moved from more urban areas of the region and purchased 5, 10 and 20 acres of land for both the investment and the enjoyment of a tranquil, rural lifestyle. This migration has seen an increase in business opportunities for agricultural related companies to provide equipment and services to these small acreage owners. Many have little, if any, experience in stewarding their land and are turning to agri-businesses for direction in what they can do with their property. Few realize that their land can become productive and profitable for them given direction and planning. Spokane Ag Expo has tailored portions of this three-day event to these small acreage owners to help them gain knowledge. Seminars include the planning and construction of farm ponds, wind and solar energy applications, alternative options for producing farm revenues, markets for locally grown food and more. Spokane Ag Expo has many exhibitors on the floor during these three days that will provide answers to the many questions on the minds of small acreage property-owners. In addition, the Pacific NW Farm Forum has lined up many of their thirty-six, hour-long seminars to topics that directly relate to small acreage operations. It is the hope of the Spokane Ag Bureau that this expanded direction of Spokane Ag Expo and Pacific NW Farm Forum will provide the information thousands of small acreage property owners in the Inland Northwest with options and answers to making their property productive.

Western Larch (Larix occidentalis) Mature Height 140-180' Native The Western Larch is a deciduous conifer. Often referred to as Tamarack, though many consider this a misnomer. The needles are lime green in the spring, darkening in the summer, and turning a golden color in the autumn before falling off.

This pine is very drought tolerant and easy to propagate on even the poorest soils. It is not recommended as a street tree in urban areas. Give it plenty of room to grow. Wildlife Benefit: Ponderosa Pine provides excellent cover and nesting sites for many birds. Chipmunks, ground squirrels, and birds, including grosbeaks, chickadees, finches, siskins, crossbills, nuthatches, and turkeys will eat the seeds.

Rocky Mountain Juniper (Juniperus scopulorum) Mature Height: 30-40’ Native A large shrub, or small evergreen tree, it is narrow and conical in shape. It has thick branches, scale-like leaves, and bluish needles. It is good for screens, mass plantings and hedges. It is highly adaptable and tolerant of most conditions.

WSU Spokane County Small Farms Program The WSU Small Farms Program strives to connect small acreage farm producers and landowners with the resources, education and networking opportunities to improve their farm operations and sustainably manage their land. As part of WSU Extension Small Farm Program, this gives farmers and landowners access to the resources and expertise of WSU faculty and staff across the state and Northwest. That means if a farmer or land owner has a question about how to do something, we can go to our network and draw on the experiences and research of people who work with agriculture across Washington Oregon and Idaho as well has the research done at the region’s land grant universities. The Spokane County program offers workshops on topics important to growers and producers, one-on-one consulting on farm management and marketing and advanced training opportunities like Cultivating Success Article and Photo by Pat Munts

With equipment depreciation, the original lump-sum value of equipment is reduced in asset value over the life of the equipment. Each year the dollar value of that year’s depreciation is reflected as an expense for that year. The IRS allows taxpayers to use equipment depreciation as a tax deduction provided that the specific equipment is used in a business or business activity. Use Equipment Depreciation as a Tax Deduction Step 1 - Maintain a file on each piece of equipment for which you will use equipment depreciation as a tax deduction. Include the purchase date, the date it was placed in service, the purchase price, usage and maintenance records and disposition or salvage. Include a schedule of amounts charged to annual depreciation based on IRS instructions and your actual tax filings. Step 2 - Keep a master depreciation spreadsheet, listing all the information contained in these equipment files. Use this spreadsheet as your guide when it is time to file your tax return. Step 3 - Read the IRS Form 4562 Instructions to learn how equipment depreciation figures in your business taxes and what the IRS expects in the form of record keeping from businesses that use equipment depreciation as a tax deduction.

The most common error that taxpayers make in taking deductions for equipment depreciation is to state prior year depreciation account balances and schedules incorrectly. There are also many different tax software programs that can be tailored to your needs, which will also keep track of your equipment depreciation.

Here’s how it works. In the 80s, as just one example, hundreds of smaller dairy farmers had to go out of business. Cows were injected with hormones to produce massive amounts of milk, and wholesale prices got so cheap, smaller dairy farms just couldn’t earn enough from sales anymore. It was get big or get out. Each cow cost more to keep than what was returned. Plus, many of those who used to see milk as nature’s most wholesome food began to question its health, and sales dropped even further. So, how would a micro eco-dairy farm today make money with five cows on a little more than five acres? They raise the cows organically or certified naturally grown on green pasture (the health benefits of this to humans are well-documented, and astounding). With that milk, they handcraft artisan cheese, and sell this premium product often retail to upscale markets for eager buyers seeking healthy, humanely

raised, grass-fed artisan cheese... cheese in which customers can even name the cows it came from! The cost to keep each cow is returned many times over. Times have changed. Today, hand-tending, handcrafting and allowing customers to reconnect with animals and nature don’t work for large-scale agribusinesses, but they work for smaller parcels and have an eager market waiting.

Farming Goats - 3 Basic Essential Factors to Consider in Planning Your Own Goat Farm

Goat farming can provide you with many benefits. Goats produce two very important products, milk and meat. Aside from the serious profits that you may earn, farming goats can also do wonders in keeping the ecology at balance. Not only that, many older farmers find raising goats to be an enjoyable activity as it helps keep them busy, without the strain or rigidity that is connected with other farming activities. However, goat raising does require a certain level of expertise, more so if you’re thinking of turning this activity into a business venture. Here are the 3 basic things you need to consider in planning out your very own goat farm.

I. Housing and location In order to be able to take care of goats properly, you need to make sure that you have an adequate amount of space that is required. Goats are very active animals so keeping them in enclosed spaces will surely be detrimental to their development. The shelter that you plan to put up for them should be high and wide enough to accommodate them when they become fully-grown. When it comes to choosing a location, your goat farm shouldn’t be anywhere near forests where wolves and foxes naturally roam. II. Food and water Goats naturally need food and water to survive so don’t forget to include these two important aspects in your plans. As goats are known to chew on just about anything and everything, you need to make sure that there are no harmful plants or poisonous vines in your goat farm. There have been many instances of freerange goats dying because of nightshade and mold. If there are any natural water sources within the proximity of the potential goat farm, try to track where the water is coming from, as you wouldn’t want your goats to be drinking water that has been already contaminated by factory waste. III. Breeds and Breeding Depending on your motives for farming goats, it’s important that you choose a breed according to their specific characteristics. Be sure to check on the lineage of your goats before you purchase them from a breeding farm so that you can avoid any genetic de-

formations happening in your own goat farm. As some breeds can cost more than others, you need to research on which type of goats will be able to give you lucrative returns in the long run. The breeding season for goats in farms is from August to March. The goat’s pregnancy lasts for four months and they are generally bred once a year, so their kids are born between January and August. The female goats give birth to one to five kids and twins are to be expected. A female goat in a farm can start mating after the age of seven to nine months while it can be milked when the goat reaches a year. Goats give birth easily, so no special help is needed. However, the farmers need to make sure that the kids nurse from their mother, if they don’t, they should be fed from a bottle. This should be done right after the kid is born as this is when it receives the critical first milk which is called colostrum. After it is fed with colostrum containing minerals, vitamins and antibodies for a few days, the kid could be fed with milk formula or could nurse from its mother.

Breeding goats in a farm is quite similar to breeding cows. The kids of goats should be given a milk formula until they can be weaned; this is after they reach five to seven weeks of age. This is the time when the goats are then milked. If the farmer is interested more in meat production, then the kids of the goats should be nursed from eight to ten weeks. After that they are to be fed hay, grain and pasture until they gain enough weight, which can vary from 35 to 90 pounds. When a farmer is breeding goats for their meat, he should consider the goats’ breed and then decide what optimal weight the goats should reach. Different breeds of goat reach different weight. There you have it, the 3 basic essential factors you need to consider before you start farming goats. Whether you’re planning to raise goats for profit or for leisure, being duly prepared is the first step in turning this endeavor into a success.

Winner, Best New Invention, 2006 Western Canada Farm Progress Show “My brother and I harvested 1200 acres of peas in 2005-2006, and bumped our seeded acres up to 1600 for the 2006-2007 crop year. The Flexxifinger™ QD™ Pulse Crop Lifter is superior to any pea lifter we have used in the past. We were looking for a lifter that would allow us to pick our header up off the ground just far enough to allow us to travel at a good ground speed without damaging the header. If you do hit a dead head, repairs take two minutes, and this lifter does not interfere with the reel. If the neighbors ask me what I know about growing peas, I tell them to put Felxxifinger™ QD™ Pulse Crop Lifters on the header.” - Barrie Elliot (Reston, Manitoba)
