Connecting Young Nebraskans Summit

By University of Nebraska-Lincoln The fourth annual Connecting Young Nebraskans Summit will be in Kearney, Nebraska November 7. Kearney, Hastings and Grand Island are working together to host the conference for young leaders across Nebraska. The leaders will share ideas about how they can improve Nebraska’s future. An evening social November 6 will allow time for participants to network. “Young leaders from the tri-cities are excited to join forces to offer the state a dynamic conference, centered on professional and personal development,” said Mary Berlie of Grand Island, a member of the host community team. Keynote speaker Joe Gerstandt, co-founder of Talent Anarchy, will talk about “brave new leadership.” He will discuss how authenticity, divergent thinking and constructive conflict can drive creativity and innovation for young Nebraskans and will explain the social architecture and individual practices required to unleash creativity and innovation in organizations, communities and other settings. continued on page A3

NILE Merit Heifer applications now online

The Northern International Livestock Exposition (NILE) is once again taking applications for participants in the 2014 2015 NILE Merit Heifer Program. The Merit Heifer program is a “live animal” scholarship that strives to help youth get a start in the beef cattle business by awarding heifer calves to participants chosen based on merit, future goals, and ability to care for the animal. Any youth ages 12-16, who is a 4-H or FFA member, may apply. Applications must be postmarked no later than September 15. An application is available online at www.thenile.org or by calling the NILE office. During the program duration, participants are responsible for raising the heifer, arranging for her to be bred, completing the record keeping procedure and bringing the animal back one year later as a bred replacement heifer for exhibit at the NILE Stock Show. Bill Pelton, Merit Heifer Chairman, says, “This program would not be possible without the generous support of our donor ranchers and we are very grateful to them.” This year the NILE will select twenty-five recipients and match them up with donors from across the region. In addition to application from eligible recipients, the NILE is also taking applications from ranches wishing to participate through the donation of a heifer calf. continued on page A2

Nebraska Grazing Conference to include live cattle handling demo By University of Nebraska-Lincoln

Many will remember the 1998 movie, “The Horse Whisperer,” starring Robert Redford. One of the consultants on that movie was Curt Pate from Texas. Pate will show why his expertise was sought by the movie producers when he demonstrates low-stress animal handling techniques at the Buffalo County Fairgrounds on the second day of the 14th annual Nebraska Grazing Conference. Pate’s appearance on the program is sponsored in part by the Beef Checkoff. The two-day conference will begin at the Kearney Ramada, a change in location from past years’ gatherings, on Tuesday, August 12. Topics that day will include: water capture, transfer and storage; soil health and grazing; mob grazing; wildlife and grazing; managing during and after drought; and GrassSnap, a new mobile app for monitoring grasslands. Pate will start things off the second day, August 13, with a talk on stockmanship and stewardship fundamentals, followed by

Additional morning speakers will address management practices of the 2013 Leopold Conservation Award winner and research on switchgrass for forage and biomass. After lunch the conference will move to the fairgrounds for Pate’s live cattle handling and roping demonstration.

Disaster assistance for 2012 frost or freeze fruit crop losses

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) announced Noninsured Crop Disaster Assistance Program (NAP) assistance for losses to bush or tree fruit crops due to frost or freeze during the 2012 crop year. The program, authorized by the 2014 Farm Bill, provides supplemental NAP payments to eligible producers. Farmers who did not have access to crop insurance and are in primary and adjacent counties that received a Secretarial disaster designation because of frost or freeze in 2012 are eligible for NAP assistance. Losses due to weather damage or other adverse natural occurrences may also qualify for program assistance. NAP enrollment began July 22, 2014. Applications must be submitted to FSA county offices by September 22, 2014. “After the 2014 Farm Bill was enacted into law, USDA expedited the restart of disaster assistance programs as a top priority,” said FSA Administrator Juan Garcia. “Fruit producers experienced significant financial losses from weather-related damage in 2012. NAP provides them with long-awaited disaster relief.” To expedite applications, producers who experienced losses are encouraged to collect records documenting these losses in preparation for the sign-up in this program. Producers also are encouraged to contact their FSA county office to schedule an appointment. Limited resource, socially disadvantaged, and beginning producers are eligible for premium reductions and also may be eligible for fee reductions. Interested producers can view the 2012 NAP Coverage for Frost, Freeze or Weather Related Fruit Losses Fact Sheet at http://go.usa.gov/5kSQ, or visit a local FSA office. To find out if land is located in an eligible frost/freeze county, visit http://go.usa.gov/53rz. The announcement was made possible through the 2014 Farm Bill, which builds on historic economic gains in rural America over the past five years, while achieving meaningful reform and billions of dollars in savings for the taxpayer. Since enactment, USDA has made significant progress to implement each provision of this critical legislation, including providing disaster relief to farmers and ranchers; strengthening risk management tools; expanding access to rural credit; funding critical research; establishing innovative public-private conservation partnerships; developing new markets for rural-made products; and investing in infrastructure, housing and community facilities to help improve quality of life in rural America.

Update on Section 179 tax deduction

By Kim Dillivan, SDSU Crops Business Management Field Specialist Recognizing a need to provide tax relief to small businesses, Congress authorized the IRS to create the Section 179 tax deduction as part of the Economic Recovery Tax Act of 1981. Section 179 allows small businesses, including farms and ranches, the opportunity to deduct from taxable income the cost of eligible expenses in the tax year the property is placed into service. Following implementation of the Act, potential reductions in tax burdens have served as incentives for producers to invest in capital improvements. Items that qualify for the deduction include office furniture, computers and software, business vehicles, breeding livestock, machinery and equipment, and agricultural structures and buildings. Section 179 Section 179 allows deduction from taxable income all or part of the purchase price of new and used capital property in the year the items are acquired. The value of items eligible for the deduction is subject to dollar limits and property must have been placed into service in the tax year the deduction is being taken. Producers may elect the Section 179 expense deduction instead of recovering the cost by taking annual depreciation deductions. Although utilizing the deduction allowed under Section 179 could be financially advantageous, producers should consider capital purchases in regard to whether they advance the firm’s goals and objectives, and not solely on whether they minimize taxes. Section 179 Deduction Limits For 2013, the Section 179 tax deduction limit was $500,000 and the property purchase limit was $2,000,000. For tax years 2014 and beyond, the amount for expensing depreciable property under Section 179 will revert back to a deduction limit of $25,000. Therefore, unless Congress chooses to modify this limit, farmers and ranchers will be able to deduct in tax year 2014 a maximum of $25,000 worth of qualifying equipment or machinery, purchased or leased before December 31, 2014. Congressional Legislation Regarding Section 179 As of early July, new legislation regarding Section 179 has failed to achieve full congressional approval. In April 2014, the U.S. Senate Finance Committee approved legislation (Expiring Provisions Improvement Reform and Efficiency Act) that would increase the Section 179 limit to $500,000 for tax years 2014 and 2015. However, this legislation had not yet passed the full U.S. Senate. In June, the U.S. House passed H.R. 4457, the American Small Business Tax Relief Act of 2014. This legislation would permanently extend Section 179 with a deduction limit of $500,000. Clarity regarding Section 179, sooner rather than later, will give producers the opportunity to make well-informed capital purchase decisions. It remains to be seen, however, whether Congress can craft in the next few months, Section 179 legislation agreeable to both parties. More Information For more information regarding Section 179 tax deductions, see Tax Topics: Section 179 Deduction (http://igrow. org/livestock/profit-tips/tax-topics-section-179-deduction/).

MFW Commission lifts limits on Koessler Lake

By Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks The Montana Fish and Wildlife Commission approved removing the angling creel limits for Koessler Lake in the South Fork of the Flathead River Drainage effective immediately through August 31. The effort is a part of the South Fork Flathead Westslope Cutthroat Conservation Project. Koessler Lake will be treated in September to remove hybrid trout, and then restocked with pure westslope cutthroat trout next summer. This regulation change allows anglers to remove as many fish as possible this summer prior to the treatment. Koessler Lake is located about 12 miles into the Bob Marshall Wilderness in the headwaters of Gordon Creek. For more information, call FWP in Kalispell at 406-7525501. ##### A couple drove down a country road for several miles, not saying a word. An earlier discussion had led to an argument, and neither of them wanted to give in. As they passed a barnyard filled with mules, the husband asked sarcastically, “Relatives of yours?” “Yep,” the wife retored. “In-laws.”

UW fills plant sciences department head position

By University of Wyoming Extension A plant scientist with years of experience teaching students and conducting studies at research and extension centers is the new head of the Department of Plant Sciences at the University of Wyoming (UW). Jim Heitholt will leave his crop physiology position with Texas A&M University – Commerce and join the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources August 18. He is scheduled to attend the Powell Research and Extension Center field day Thursday, July 17, near Powell. “The appointment is a very exciting time for me personally,” said Heitholt, a professor in the Department of Agricultural Sciences with Texas A&M University – Commerce, who also has a joint appointment in the Department of Soil and Crop Sciences at College Station. “I am extremely grateful for this opportunity and intend to serve the students, faculty, staff, and college leadership and stakeholders as wisely and enthusiastically as I possibly can,” he said. Bret Hess, associate dean of research in the college, served as one of two interim department heads during the search to fill the position. “I am excited to have an opportunity to work with professor Heitholt,” said Hess, who is also director of the Wyoming Agricultural Experiment Station (AES) in the college. The AES, in addition to other responsibilities, directs four research and extension (R&E) centers in Wyoming. “He brings a wealth of experience and a comprehensive understanding of the land-grant mission to the Department of Plant Sciences,” said Hess. “I believe he is poised to continue the department’s and college’s commitment to research, teaching, extension and community outreach.” Heitholt coordinated teaching, service and research activities while head of the Department of Agricultural Sciences at Commerce prior to returning to the faculty this year. He received his undergraduate and graduate degrees in agronomy from Western Illinois University and the University of Missouri, respectively, and his doctorate in crop science from the University of Kentucky. Heitholt’s research specialty in recent years is screening genotypes for drought and insect tolerance and studying the yield potential of vegetable crops. He has also taught for many years, and said he is passionate about teaching the next generation of plant scientists, contributing to the need of an abundant and secure food supply and encouraging sustainable practices. He said his previous experience leading a department with a primary focus on teaching courses provides excellent perspective on what is successful in the academic environment. “This position will allow me to make a positive impact on the training of students,” Heitholt noted. “Fostering student learning and success is a tremendous motivator.” Heitholt spent many years at R&E centers across the southern U.S. and said he appreciates the challenges and opportunities distance brings. Faculty members and other scientists in the plant sciences department have research at UW R&E centers at Powell, Sheridan, near Lingle and at Laramie. Department specialties include agroecology, agronomy of irrigated crops, forage agronomy, plant biotechnology, plant breeding, specialty crops, viticulture and weed management. “It’s evident the department faculty are passionate about their extension and research projects and that they are poised to continue solving many of the region’s crop production issues,” he said. Watching and mentoring faculty members develop creative ways to teach plant science and agroecology is enjoyable, Heitholt noted. “It is also clear the college administration is very wellinformed of the exciting projects and potential opportunities within the college’s departments and is committed to helping agriculture across the state and beyond.” He and his wife, Debby, have one son, one daughter, one daughter-in-law and identical-twin granddaughters. “After I spend a few days of enjoying the moment, my focus will be on the position’s responsibilities that impact the students, faculty members and college leadership,” said Heitholt. “I intend to keep my door open for students and everyone else as together, we tackle the opportunities and challenges of the academic programs in the plant sciences and related disciplines.” ##### Sign on back of minivan: “Babies on board.

Regional pulse crop lab to be established at MSU

By Evelyn Boswell, MSU News Service Montanans grew pulse crops many years ago, but the acreage has increased steadily since 1997. Sometimes the market favors lentils. Other times, it’s dry peas. But in the past three or four years, the demand for chickpeas has been especially strong because of the popularity of hummus snack food. Chickpeas are a major component of hummus. Berndt and others said MSU research has also played a significant role in the growth of Montana’s pulse crop industry. “We are very grateful and depend upon the research going on at MSU,” said David Mary Burrows, looking here for ergot bodies in Oien, organic farming pioneer and cowheat seed, is director of a new project that will establish a Pulse Crop Health Diagnostic Laborafounder of Timeless Seeds Inc. in Ulm. “The tory at Montana State University.

Wet hay may cause fire

Hay that is baled and stored at a moisture level higher than recommended could heat up enough to start a barn fire, a Purdue Extension forage specialist warns. This season has been a problem because the number of days between rain has not been adequate, in many cases, to allow cut forage to dry to a safe moisture level when stored as hay, Keith Johnson said. Farmers that rushed to bale hay without using a preservative when moisture content was greater than 20 percent are at risk. “A novice hay grower might think a fire would likely develop relatively quickly - in less than a week - but it actually could take a month,” Johnson said. “Growers should monitor the temperature of their stored hay and notify their local fire department of any potentially dangerous heat buildup.” If hay is not given enough time to dry and is stored prematurely, heat-tolerant microorganisms develop within the bales in high numbers, raising the temperature. When the temperature gets to 150 degrees Fahrenheit, hay is entering the danger zone, and the stacked hay should be taken apart to allow more air movement to cool heated bales, Johnson said. Once the temperature reaches 200 degrees Fahrenheit, a fire is very likely. Such barn fires happen every year, Johnson said, and it can happen to experienced hay producers as well as beginners. Johnson offered this advice: To speed the drying, lay the cut forage in a wide swath with a mower-conditioner. Hay cut in a wide swath is exposed to more sunlight and dries faster. The conditioner crimps the stems of newly cut hay and allows moisture to escape at a faster rate. Johnson explained that an alternative to storing forage as dry hay is to let the cut forage wilt to 50 percent moisture and let it ferment to silage. This is accomplished by using an individual bale wrapper or an in-line tuber that excludes air by wrapping the bales in white plastic. This substantially reduces drying time, but there is additional cost to package the forage crop. Hay stored with too much moisture can cause other problems besides the risk of a barn fire, Johnson noted. Forage quality is reduced, livestock will eat less of the hay, and there can be risk of mycotoxins within the mold produced by microorganisms. Mycotoxins can cause an array of harmful health concerns in livestock.

Between October 1 and March 31, Oregon beekeepers reported a 21.1 percent loss in colonies of the crucial crop pollinators, according to a survey by Oregon State University (OSU). The latest figures are a slight improvement over the state’s average annual loss of 22 percent over the past six years. Nationally, commercial beekeepers reported a 23.2 percent decline last winter, according to a survey by the Bee Informed Partnership, a countrywide collaboration among research labs focusing on honeybee declines.

teats. A nipple bucket can also be used to feed a few lambs or kids. For the first few days of life, lambs/kids should be fed frequently. After lambs/kids are a few days old, the frequency of feedings can be reduced. There are numerous protocols for feeding, as shown in the tables below. Lambs/kids generally need to consume 10-15 percent of their body weight per day. More frequent feedings will help to prevent overeating. For larger numbers of lambs/kids, an automatic feeding system (self feeder or lamb bar) can be set up. Lambs/kids will drink cold milk from a lamb bar at frequent intervals, much like they would if they were nursing a ewe/doe. An open vessel (bucket or trough) can be used to feed fresh milk. Weaning  Because milk replacer is expensive and artificial rearing can be labor intensive, lambs/kids should be weaned at an early age. Six weeks is common. Weaning at 30 days is possible if lambs/kids are big enough and are consuming adequate dry feed. At weaning, lambs should weigh at least 25-30 lbs; kids, 20 lbs. or 2.5 times their birth weight.

In order to wean lambs/kids at an early age, it is essential to get them consuming dry feed as soon as possible. By the time the lambs/kids are a week old, they should have access to a creep feed which is palatable and contains 18 to 20 percent crude protein. Young lambs/kids will consume more feed if is coarsely ground, though a pelleted ration may also be fed. Soybean meal makes a good starter feed. The biggest challenge is constructing a feeder that the lambs/kids cannot stand or play in. Ample, fresh water should be available at all times. There are differing opinions as to whether orphan lambs/kids should be offered hay. A common recommendation is to wait until lambs/kids are three weeks old before feeding them any hay. Hay, especially alfalfa, can cause bloat. Some producers do not feed hay until after weaning. Lambs/kids should be vaccinated for overeating disease and tetanus by the time they are six weeks of age, followed by a booster three to four weeks later. They should be vaccinated earlier (3-4 weeks of age), if they did not receive adequate protection through the colostrum. Earlier vaccinations may not be effective due to the immature immune system of young lambs and kids. Weaning should be abrupt and lambs/kids should be left in familiar surroundings at the time of weaning to minimize stress. If orphan lambs/ kids are properly fed and managed, they should gain nearly as well as lambs/kids being raised on their dams.

The nature of the life of the tree is to grow up as fast and as straight as its neighbors and, in so doing, capture the most sunlight possible to produce food via photosynthesis. Unlike us, an injured tree cannot simply pick up and move to more favorable growing conditions. It must adapt and survive the conditions it faces, and seal over any wounding that might have occurred from ice, wind, disease, equipment damage, etc. Many of us assume that as trees get larger and more massive they are more tolerant of environmental extremes and mismanagement. Nothing could be farther from the truth. Typically the larger the tree gets, the more energy, space and resources are required to maintain its structural and biological integrity and the more predisposed it is to damage from weather, insects, disease and improper management. It is an annual and delicate balance to grow larger and continue to maintain root, stem and canopy structure in the environment of the Great Plains, which is continually throwing curve balls of drought, high winds, wet snows and ice storms. Toss in impacts of insects and disease and improper management – typically people with good intentions doing the wrong things – and trees naturally begin to show signs of wear and tear. Over the eons trees have “learned” to adapt to injury and wounds. Whether it is a broken branch following an ice storm or lawn mower damage at the base of the tree, various microorganisms begin to infect and invade the newly exposed wood. The tree responds to the attack by building internal structural and chemical walls which slow and often stop the spread of infection and decay. This reaction is called compartmentalization and it varies according to the species or type of tree. Generally the slower-growing a tree, the better it is able to seal off wounds and potential decay. Oaks, for example, tend to grow more slowly than cottonwood trees but they are much more adept at stopping the spread of decay. Trees have also adapted highly effective methods to maintain their canopy against the constant forces of gravity, wind, snow, etc. Tree trunks, stems and branches are constantly twisting, turning and bending. Throughout its life the tree responds to these stresses by adding more wood to weak areas, such as the underside of a branch, or creating compression and tension wood to help distribute the loading forces throughout the canopy. Sometimes this adaptation is not enough to support the tree and branches break and fail during storm events. Trees respond to injuries such as broken branches by forming “woundwood,” fast-growing callus tissue that forms around the edge of the wound. It will later be replaced with much stronger layers of woundwood tissue that seal over the initial injury and strengthen the overall structure of the tree itself. Few of these naturally-occurring biological reactions are visible to casual observation since they typically occur over the course of many years. But each tree and its structure have a unique story to tell of past injury, reaction and eventual recovery. Take the time to observe and study your trees and appreciate that every branch, bark ridge and oddly shaped stem is a purposeful reaction of the tree slowly responding to the world and environment around it. You can support the health and vigor of your trees by minimizing wounding and having your trees structurally pruned to maintain a strong and sound canopy for generations to come.

Hunter & Bowhunter Ed instructors needed

By Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks Volunteer instructors are being sought for Montana Hunter and Bowhunter Education programs in the Townsend area. Montana’s hunter and bowhunter education classes are taught by dedicated volunteers who are the heart of Montana’s hunting education programs. Volunteer instructors also serve as examples of hunter ethics and one’s responsibility to landowners, other hunters and the game pursued. Hunter and bowhunter education instructor candidates in the Townsend area can call Wayde Cooperider, outdoor skills and safety supervisor for Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks (FWP) in Helena, at 406-444-9947.

The preliminary All Farm Products Index of Prices Received by Farmers in June, at 111 percent, based on 2011=100, decreased 3 points (2.6 percent) from May. The Crop Index is down 1 point (1.0 percent) and the Livestock Index decreased 3 points (2.3 percent). Producers received lower prices for corn, milk, broilers, and eggs and higher prices for oranges, cantaloupes, tomatoes, and lettuce. In addition to prices, the overall index is also affected by the seasonal change based on a 3-year average mix of commodities producers sell. Increased monthly movement of wheat, hay, grapes, and peaches offset the decreased marketing of oranges, cattle, milk, and broilers. The preliminary All Farm Products Index is up 1 point (0.9 percent) from June 2013. The Food Commodities Index, at 121, decreased 3 points (2.4 percent) from last month but increased 12 points (11 percent) from June 2013.

Prices paid index unchanged

The June Index of Prices Paid for Commodities and Services, Interest, Taxes, and Farm Wage Rates (PPITW) is 112 percent of the 2011 base. The index is unchanged from May but 6 points (5.7 percent) above June 2013. Lower prices in June for feed grains, feeder pigs, hay & forages, and supplements offset higher prices for feeder cattle, nitrogen, complete feeds, and other services.

Peter Raven receives U.S. National Arboretum’s Medal of Excellence By Kim Kaplan, Agricultural Research Service

The U.S. National Arboretum has awarded its Medal of Excellence to botanist and environmentalist Peter H. Raven in recognition of his career and scientific accomplishments as one of the world’s foremost advocates for biodiversity. The Arboretum is operated in Washington by the Agricultural Research Service (ARS), the chief intramural scientific research agency of the U.S. Department of Agriculture. “What Peter Raven has done to encourage people from the highest levels of policy making to the general public to care about protecting plants is remarkable,” said Colien Hefferan, director of the Arboretum. “He literally transformed public gardens into tools of outreach to help people understand the value of science in preserving biodiversity and the conservation of plants. As a scientist and a person, he has made enduring contributions to the planet and its inhabitants.” Raven has promoted gardens and ornamental horticulture as a way to interest the public in conservation and supporting sustainable environments. Time magazine described Raven as a “Hero for the Planet” for his career as an outspoken leader championing research around the world to preserve endangered plants. His scientific accomplishments encompass the fields of plant systematics, evolution and ecology. He may be best known scientifically for his important article entitled “Butterflies and Plants: A Study in Coevolution,” published in the journal Evolution in 1964. He also wrote the widely used textbook “Biology of Plants.” Raven led the Missouri Botanical Garden from a quiet city garden to one of the world’s great centers for horticultural research, education, and display during his 40 years as its director from 1971 until 2011. He is now the president emeritus of the Missouri Botanical Garden. He has received many other prizes and

awards, including the U.S. National Medal of Science, the nation’s highest honor for scientific achievement; Guggenheim and John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation fellowships; and the International Cosmos Prize. He was also a member of President Clinton’s Committee of Advisors on Science and Technology, and served as home secretary of the National Academy of Sciences. The arboretum’s 446 acres in northeast Washington, D.C., serve the public need for scientific research, education, and gardens that conserve and showcase plants to enhance the environment. This is only the third time the U.S. National Arboretum has given its Medal of Excellence. The first time honored former First Lady Lady Bird Johnson and her Committee for a More Beautiful Capital in 2002 for their sustained contributions in beautifying Washington, D.C., and other areas of the country with trees, flowers and other ornamental plantings as part of the Arboretum’s 75th anniversary. The other medal was awarded in 2011 to Robert Bartlett, chief executive officer of Bartlett Trees, who has dedicated himself and his company to researching and conserving trees on public and private lands through the development of science-based, sustainable management practices to protect and improve the tree canopy across the nation, including at Arlington National Cemetery. ##### In some ways, staying in a hospital is like staying at a hotel.

UW scientists study how complexity developed from simple cell

By University of Wyoming Extension Consider this a matter of scrambling down the family tree to its roots. Really old roots. Or perhaps it’s more like blowing the dust off the family album – the human album – and opening to the first pages billions of years ago. Naomi Ward, an associate professor in the Department of Molecular Biology at the University of Wyoming (UW), is the senior author on a paper recently published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences USA (PNAS). The research examines how simple bacterial cells could have made the transition to more complex cells, leading to plants, animals and humans. The paper, “Spatially segregated transcription and translation in cells of the endomembrane-containing bacterium Gemmata obscuriglobus,” was published online recently, and describes research supported by a grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF). Ekaterina Gottshall, a graduate student in the Molecular and Cellular Life Sciences Ph.D. program, is first author on the paper and main contributor to the experimental work. Other authors are assistant professor Jay Gatlin, also in molecular biology, and Corrine Seebart, an assistant research scientist in Ward’s group. Ward’s version of genealogy looks at how simple bacterial cells, which do not have the nuclear membrane that separates transcription and translation (the reading of DNA instructions to make protein), could have evolved into eukaryotic cells (plants, animals, humans), which have transcription and translation occurring in separate locations. This evolutionary step was an important part of developing greater cell complexity in ancient eukaryotic cells. The membrane-no membrane distinction, and separation of the two processes, serves as a definition. “This is usually considered to be a very fundamental way in which bacterial cells differ from our cells,” said Ward. “However, cells of Gemmata obscuriglobus (the bacterium they studied) have complex internal membranes, making them look superficially like eukaryotic cells.” Gottshall wanted to know if transcription and translation could occur in different places in the cell just like in a eukaryote cell. “We asked this question because the way in which complex eukaryotic cells evolved from a simpler ancestor is not completely understood, and we thought that studying this question in Gemmata might shed some light on that problem,” said Gottshall. It is generally thought that two of the major membranebound compartments in animal and plant cells – mitochondria, the power plants of the cell, and chloroplasts, where photosynthesis occurs – were formed when ancient bacteria took up residence in an ancient proto-eukaryotic cell. Some estimates place the move-in date around 1.8 billion years ago. Bacterial microfossils first appear about 3.5 billion years ago. Ward and her research group found a substantial amount of G. obscuriglobus translation does occur in a different place from transcription, as is found in eukaryotic cells. “Although this is not the first time this has been reported for bacteria, it is the first time it has been reported for such a complex bacterial cell,” said Ward. “Although we don’t know whether this uncoupled gene expression in Gemmata arose in the same way it did in the ancient eukaryotic cell, it shows us one possible way in which it might have been organized.” The research has yielded another product unusual in molecular biology or other kinds of experimental science. Ward recently participated in an art-science collaborative experiment (The Ucross-Pollination Experiment), organized by UW philosophy professor Jeff Lockwood. She collaborated with philosophy professor H.L. Hix to explore form in poetry and science, and one of the products was a poem based on the PNAS paper. Ward believes the poem helps achieve one of the goals of the NSF as well as the Ucross Experiment (supported by the Ucross Foundation and the Wyoming Humanities Council, and a diversity of UW departments and programs), to make science more approachable to nonscientists.

Reducing fertilizer use with a more accurate soil test

By Dennis O’Brien, Agricultural Research Service Soil tests that determine fertilizer needs measure nitrate in the soil, but they don’t sufficiently account for soil microbes, which mineralize organic nitrogen and make more of it available to a crop. As a result, farmers often apply more fertilizer than they need. Richard Haney, a U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) soil scientist in Temple, Texas, has developed a soil test that replicates some of the natural processes that occur in a field and accounts for that microbial activity, along with measuring nitrate, ammonium (NH4), and organic nitrogen. Haney is with the USDA Agricultural Research Service (ARS) Grassland, Soil and Water Research Laboratory in Temple. ARS is USDA’s principal intramural scientific research agency.   The new soil test is known as the Soil Health Tool. It involves drying and rewetting soil to mimic the effects of precipitation. It also uses the same organic acids that plant roots use to acquire nutrients from the soil. The tool measures organic carbon and other nutrients, accounts for the effects of using cover crops and no-till practices, and will work for any crop produced with nitrogen or other types of nutrient fertilizer. Haney has made it available to commercial and university soil testing laboratories and has worked with farmers to promote it. Growers who use it receive a spreadsheet that shows the amounts of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium available to crops. On average, they reduce fertilizer costs by about $10 to $15 per acre. With less fertilizer applied, there is less of it running off into surface water.   Haney and Daren Harmel, an ARS agricultural engineer at the Temple lab, evaluated the tool in fields where they raised wheat, corn, oats, and grain sorghum at nine Texas sites over four years. They applied traditional fertilizer rates; no fertilizer; and the amounts dictated by the Haney soil tests. They planted and harvested on the same dates at each site, and kept track of fertilizer costs and application dates, crop prices, and overall profits. They found that the tool reduced fertilizer use by 30 to 50 percent and reduced fertilizer costs by up to 39 percent. The enhanced testing methods had little effect on corn production profits, but increased profits by 7 to 18 percent in wheat, oat, and sorghum fields. The results were published in the Open Journal of Soil Science.

Sweet clover abundance: Good or bad?

By Bruce Anderson, University of Nebraska – Lincoln, Forage Specialist Have you noticed an abundance of yellow sweet clover this summer? This can be good or bad, depending on how it may affect your pastures, your hay, and your cattle. Sweet clover can provide more nitrogen for adjacent grasses than most other legumes. Photo courtesy of Troy Walz/ University of Nebraska-Lincoln In many situations, I like sweet clover. Sweet clover is a legume and is able to produce its own nitrogen. In fact, sweet clover can provide more nitrogen for adjacent grasses than most other legumes. So your pastures might get a production boost following a heavy sweet clover year. It also provides good quality grazing similar to alfalfa before plants bloom heavily. After blooming, though, like now, plants get stemmy and woody, reducing both feed value and palatability. Even young plants are quite bitter, so if other plants are available to graze, cattle eat only limited amounts of sweet clover. This greatly reduces bloat hazards, which is a risk when sweet clover is abundant. Your biggest risk from sweet clover is in hay. Specifically, in moldy hay. Spoiled sweet clover produces a chemical called dicoumarin that interferes with metabolism and synthesis of vitamin K. Without vitamin K, blood will not clot properly after an injury and blood can even seep out of otherwise healthy blood vessels. That’s why sweet clover poisoning also is called sweet clover bleeding disease. Make sure hay containing sweet clover is extra dry before baling or storing to prevent mold. And remember – mold can develop on perfectly dry bales if they get wet, so outdoor storage is risky. If you must feed moldy sweet clover, alternate by feeding moldy hay for a week followed by alfalfa or other non-moldy forage for a week. This intermittent feeding is safer than mixing good and moldy hay together. Sound management will enable you to handle the bad with the good when sweet clover is abundant.

Annual tour predicts big boost in HRS crop in Northern Plains By Steve Mercer, USW Vice President of Communications

Fifty-three representatives of the entire U.S. wheat value chain, from farmers to domestic and overseas customers, gathered in Fargo, ND, on June 21 to visit more than 400 wheat fields in North Dakota and South Dakota over three days. The goal: estimate the yield potential of the 2014/15 hard red spring (HRS) and hard amber durum crops, the same as others have done on the Wheat Quality Council (WQC Hard Spring and Durum Tour for more than 25 years. U.S. Wheat Associates (USW) Vice President of Communications Steve Mercer and Assistant Director of the USW West Coast Office Shawn Campbell participated in this year’s tour. “While it is helpful to get a snapshot of the crop potential before harvest, we generate a historical record of the crop over many years for comparison,” said Ben Handcock, WQC executive director. “Another great thing about these tours is the chance for people who are responsible for buying wheat to get their first experience in the field, walking and touching the crop.” Dave Katzke is a quality control executive with General Mills who has participated in the spring wheat quality tour for more than 20 years. As a member of the WQC, he serves as the tour’s record-keeper. “The tour gives me an early look at the issues and opportunities with the next crop,” Katzke said. “For example, in our review session, we heard there is a pretty big gap in planting dates because of the wet, cold spring that could affect yield and quality between the early and late crops, depending on conditions through harvest.” Before heading out to scout wheat fields, North Dakota State University (NDSU) entomologists and plant pathologists provided additional background on this year’s crop conditions. Dr. Janet Knodel, entomologist, told the group that while insect pressure this year has been relatively light, there are pockets of concern about wheat midge larvae and stem maggot feeding on developing grain. Dr. Andrew Friskop, plant pathologist, showed the participants how to look for signs of fusarium head scab and leaf diseases. In addition, NDSU’s spring wheat breeder Dr. Mohamed Mergoum and durum breeder Dr. Elias Elias described the challenge of balancing the farmer’s need for higher yields with the downstream customer’s need for quality, a shared goal that USW works towards with overseas customers and breeders through the Overseas Varietal Analysis program. At NDSU’s seed development facility, participants learned how to apply the following formula across all their field stops to determine an estimated average yield in bushels per acre. Each day in the field the tour participants follow the same routes as previous tour participants so comparisons are consistent. The first day on the road, June 22, was long. Traveling west from Fargo through southern North Dakota and northern South Dakota in 14 vehicles, tour participants stopped at 156 spring wheat fields. Yields in South Dakota were excellent and scouts reported good stands in south-central North Dakota. Conditions in parts of southwestern North Dakota were mixed and the gap in planting dates was very evident with some wheat in the flag leaf stage and some only 3 or 4 weeks from maturity. No serious disease or insect pressure was seen. At the end of the day, the tour reported an estimated weighted average yield of 48.3 bushels per acre (bu/a) or 3.25 metric tons

per hectare (MT/h). Even if the average yield declines from this point, the tour result still represents the highest expected yield for the first day of the tour in five years. That compares with day one average estimates of 43.5 bu/a (2.93 MT/h) in 2013 and 42.6 bu/a (2.87 MT/h) in 2012. Tour participant Alyssa Hicks with the USDA Spring Wheat Quality Laboratory in Fargo, ND, checked 11 spring wheat fields in central North Dakota between Bismarck and Devils Lake on the second day of her sixth spring wheat quality tour. She believes this tour gives her an edge as she analyzes dozens of wheat samples from the new crop. “Now, when I see samples coming into the lab from various regions at a very busy time later this year, I will know about any environmental and management issues from those regions and I can determine how to manage those samples more effectively and efficiently,” Hicks said. “I also like the chance to talk about the crop with the other people on the tour in a more relaxed situation. We spend a lot of time in our vehicles.” Hicks and other participants reported results that were fairly consistent across the north-central and northwestern regions of North Dakota. The gap in planting dates was less evident on the second day in the central region, but there were many fallow and late-planted HRS fields farther north and west. The final estimated average yield potential for HRS under current conditions was 48.4 bu/a (3.26 MT/h), consistent with the previous day’s estimate, compared to the 2013 Day Two estimate of 45.0 bu/a (3.03 MT/h) and the 2012 estimate of 45.5 bu/a (3.06 MT/h). The tour also checked 14 durum fields and estimated current yield potential at 36.6 bu/a (2.46 MT/h), compared to 41.6 bu/a (2.80 MT/h) on 2013 Day Two. In discussion about the day’s results, the group agreed that they had expected to see more HRW fields. Farmers and state wheat commission leaders joined the tour participants at dinner in Devils Lake, ND, and explained that significantly more HRW had been planted last fall but winterkill and other factors forced farmers to abandon all but about 200,000 acres (80,937 hectares) of HRW. Farmers chose either to replant those fields to HRS or abandon the fields completely for this season. In addition to the cold, late spring, challenges with HRW this year had a significant impact on cropping decisions. The third and final day of the tour covered northeast North Dakota. Detailed description of the day’s scouting were not available at release time, but the final weighted average estimate of the HRS crop yield potential in North Dakota under current conditions is 48.6 bu/a (3.27 MT/h), an all-time record high if realized. For durum in North Dakota, current yield potential is 36.6 bu/a ( 2.46 MT/h), down from last year’s prediction of 41.7 bu/a (2.81 MT/h) Current yield potential for HRW in North Dakota is 44.0 bu/a (2.96 MT/h), down from 53.5 bu/a (3.60 MT/h) projected during last year’s tour.

Orange-fleshed honeydew

By Rosalie Marion Bliss, Agricultural Research Service Orange-fleshed honeydew melon is a cross between cantaloupe and green-fleshed honeydew. Orange-fleshed honeydew melon is sweeter and stores longer than the typical cantaloupe. To learn more about the melons, U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) plant physiologist Gene Lester and his colleagues measured the beta-carotene concentrations in orange-fleshed honeydew and cantaloupe melons grown under the same greenhouse conditions. Carotenoids such as beta-carotene are also known as provitamin A. Beta-carotene is the most potent precursor of vitamin A for humans, which means the body breaks down beta-carotene into vitamin A. Lester is with the USDA Agricultural Research Service (ARS) Office of National Programs in Beltsville, Maryland. ARS is USDA’s principal intramural scientific research agency. The team found that orange-fleshed honeydew had significantly higher beta-carotene concentrations than cantaloupe, but the two melon types had similar beta-carotene bioaccessibility. Before the human body can make use of a fruit’s nutrients, the nutrients must first be released from the fruit tissues, becoming “bioaccessible,” and then the nutrients can be absorbed into the circulation, becoming “bioavailable.” This means that both melons appear to be comparable sources of dietary provitamin A for humans, on par with carrots, which are known to be a major source of provitamin A. When testing orange-fleshed melons, the team also noticed indications of compounds not seen before, so they used more sophisticated instrumentation to show that these compounds were apocarotenoids. This is significant because apocarotenoids are metabolized directly into vitamin A. Previously, the researchers did not know apocarotenoids were in orange-fleshed melons. Lester’s team detected and measured levels of the apocarotenoids beta-apo-13-carotenone, beta-apo-14-carotenal, beta-apo-12-carotenal, beta-apo-10-carotenal, and beta-apo8-carotenal in the orange-fleshed melons. ##### John and Dan were having lunch at a diner. John said, “Hey, Dan, isn’t your 60th anniversary coming up? What are you doing to celebrate?” Dan replied, “I’m not sure. When we hit our 50th anniversary, my wife started walking two miles a day.” “Wow, she must be in great shape by walking that far!” “Could be, but now I’ve got no idea where she is!”

By NDSU Extension Service Four North Dakota State University (NDSU) Extension Service educators have received honors from the National Association of Community Development Extension Professionals. Glenn Muske, rural and agribusiness enterprise development specialist, received the 2014 Distinguished Service Award for his service to the organization and community development as a profession. Kathy Tweeten, a community economic development specialist and director of the Center for Community Vitality; Jodi Bruns, an Extension agent in Dickey County and Center for Community Vitality community coach; and Helen Volk-Schill, an Extension agent in Pembina County, are part of a three-state team that received the first-place award in the Excellence in Teamwork category for the Marketing Hometown America program. Muske, who joined NDSU Extension in 2010, helps small businesses, especially those in rural areas, develop and grow. He provides education and support in a number of ways, including one-on-one education on getting a business started and how to keep it operating successfully, support material in online magazine forms he helped develop, speaking at meetings, writing blogs and news releases, and developing online chats that feature business owners sharing their experiences and tips for making small businesses successful. Bruns, Tweeten and Volk-Schill have worked on the Marketing Hometown America program for three years with Extension colleagues in Nebraska and South Dakota. Marketing Hometown America promotes dialogue among residents to help communities create a vision to grow and move toward action. For example, under this program, Edmore is making plans to reopen a community cafe and Ellendale is working with a college to engage its students in community life and business. The four received their awards at the National Association of Community Development Extension Professionals’ recent annual conference in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

Looking to ancestors to combat evolving threat

By Dennis O’Brien, Agricultural Research Service U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) scientists have pinpointed the location of a gene in a little-known ancient grass that could help save one of the world’s most important cereal crops from an unrelenting fungus. Agricultural Research Service (ARS) scientists Matt Rouse and Yue Jin, with the agency’s Cereal Disease Research Laboratory in St. Paul, Minnesota, found the gene while studying the DNA of ancient grasses. They were searching for genes that could make wheat more resistant to Ug99 (Puccinia graminis), a type of stem rust that is constantly evolving. ARS is USDA’s principal intramural scientific research agency, and this work supports the USDA priority of promoting international food security.   Ug99 has not yet been found in the United States, but it is spreading overseas and is considered a potential threat to up to 90 percent of the world’s wheat. Genes in wheat that seem to offer immunity one growing season become susceptible to newly developed “races” the next. Ug99 was first reported by scientists in Uganda in 1999, and controlling it has since become an international priority. Scientists often study a crop’s wild relatives for genes that will confer resistance to pests and pathogens. But what makes the efforts of Rouse and Jin noteworthy is the diversity of grasses being studied. They include einkorn wheat, an ancient variety still cultivated in parts of the Mediterranean; emmer wheat, found in archeological sites and still growing wild in the Near East; and goatgrass, a wild relative of wheat with genes that breeders have tapped to boost immunity in commercial wheat varieties. In one study, Rouse and his colleagues at Kansas State University and the University of California at Davis focused on locating a gene in einkorn wheat that confers near immunity to Ug99. They focused on locating a gene, known as Sr35, which was previously discovered in einkorn. But the exact location of this gene in the plant’s vast genome remained a mystery. The wheat genome is huge, containing nearly two times more genetic information than the human genome. To find Sr35’s position, the researchers sequenced areas of the plant’s genome where they suspected it was located. In one set of mutant plants, they knocked out the cloned sequences and found it made those plants susceptible to Ug99. In another set they inserted the same sequences into previously susceptible plants and found it made them resistant. The results, published in Science in 2013, marked the first time that scientists managed to isolate and clone a Ug99 resistance gene. The achievement should make it easier to insert useful genes into wheat varieties.

My grandson Tommy graduated from high school last week. He was so nervous he left the house without his gown. I rushed after him, and gave it to him. He looked quite embarrassed. “Don’t worry,” I said, “You just had a high-school senior moment.”

Weathering the market

Geopolitical issues and weather may push the market up and down short-term, but in the July 11 World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates (WASDE) report, USDA still predicted the world’s suppliers will have a substantial wheat crop to sell this marketing year. According to the July 18 USW Price Report renewed fears of geopolitical tension in the Black Sea region following the crash of Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 in eastern Ukraine pushed futures higher the day of the crash, but markets posted sharp losses the next day as concerns subsided. To date, Ukrainian ports are reported as operating normally. Extreme weather issues also continue to hinder Northern Hemisphere wheat crops. For the U.S. hard red winter (HRW) crop, severe drought conditions reduced harvested acres and yields. In contrast, analysts expect excessive rain to reduce crop quality in both the European Union and Canada. Despite crop condition challenges in these areas, USDA estimated 2014/15 global wheat production will reach 705 million metric tons (MMT), the second highest on record, and down just 1 percent (9.0 MMT) from 2013/14. Combined with slightly lower expected world beginning stocks of 184 MMT, USDA predicted global wheat supplies of 888 MMT, 2.19 MMT lower than 2013/14. According to USDA, world wheat trade will fall 8 percent from the prior marketing year to 152 MMT in 2014/15, still 4 percent greater than the five-year average. As a result, supplies will slightly exceed use, according to USDA, who projected global ending stocks 1 percent higher than the prior year at 189 MMT. Of note, 33 percent of global ending stocks are attributed to China. For the United States, USDA reported a decline in beginning stocks at 16.1 MMT, 25 percent below the five-year average and the lowest since 2008/09. For this year’s crop, USDA projected U.S. wheat production to fall 7 percent to 54.2 MMT, with an increase in hard red spring (HRS) wheat more than offsetting declines for the other classes. The HRS crop in the northern plains has benefitted from abundant soil moisture and yields are forecast as above average. USDA also predicted U.S. wheat exports will decline 24 percent to 24.5 MMT, below the five-year average of 29.5 MMT. As a result, U.S. ending stocks are expected to increase 12 percent to 18.0 MMT, still below the five-year average of 21.2 MMT. Canadian wheat production and trade numbers will also be down, according to USDA. USDA estimated Canadian wheat production to fall 25 percent from the record 37.5 MMT in 2013/14 and to equal the five-year average at 28.0 MMT. Additionally, due to a smaller crop and sustained logistical issues, USDA predicted Canadian exports will fall 7 percent to 21.0 MMT. The WASDE report listed other major wheat exporters with small production and trade decreases for this marketing year. Black Sea wheat production could reach 87.5 MMT, down slightly from 88.3 MMT in 2013/14, according to USDA. USDA also reported Ukrainian exports down 500,000 MT to 9.0 MMT but still 26 percent greater than the five-year average. Conversely, USDA estimated a 19 percent increase in Argentinean production in 2014/15 to 12.5 MMT, still 3 percent below the five-year average. As a result, USDA projected Argentina’s exports to rebound to 6.5 MMT, up from 2.0 MMT the prior marketing year. Despite an increase in crop production, however, political policies continue to cause uncertainty for Argentina’s wheat farmers and export licenses are not guaranteed. Brazil, one of Argentina’s largest customers, continues to purchase wheat from outside the Mercosur trading block. Finally, USDA raised EU wheat production 1.6 MMT, but also increased EU wheat feeding 1.0 MMT as wheat quality is expected to suffer in the lower Danube region due to excessive rainfall in recent weeks. Overall, advancing Northern Hemisphere harvests and expectations for plentiful global supplies could continue to weigh on the world markets, even with short-term fluctuations. As always, the United States will continue to have a reliable supply of high quality wheat for the world’s buyers to purchase.

New hard to manage weed: Narrow-leaved hawksbeard

By Shelley Mills MSU Extension Agent, Valley County Photos courtsy of Ed Davis, MSU Crop Weed Specialist Narrow-leaved hawksbeard (Crepis tectorum) has become an increasing problem in Valley and Daniels Counties in the past 6 to 7 years. This member of the Sunflower family has moved south from Alaska and Canada after it was introduced there from Eurasia in contaminated seed. Vast acreages of CRP, rangeland and pasture as well as cropland have become infested with this weed in Valley County. Initially the weed was identified by a producer south of Opheim, Montana in 2008. In an effort to learn how to control this weed, the grower conducted 40 acre test plots of various herbicides in chemical fallow on his own property. Since that time the weed has spread across the northern end of Valley County and into Daniels County. This weed has recently been positively identified along highway 2, indicating that it is moving south. It is a listed noxious weed in Minnesota and in Alberta and Manitoba Provinces in Canada. It is also found in Alaska, British Columbia, Yukon Territories and Saskatchewan. The plant produces a basal rosette usually in the late summer or early fall and may overwinter in this stage. It may also germinate in the early spring, form a rosette and rapidly develop a flowering shoot. Identification of this weed at the rosette stage is critical since the winter annual form is rapidly increasing across the prairies (Bubar, McColl and Hall 2000). Narrow-leaved hawksbeard can germinate as low as 36° - 39° F but optimal germination occurs at 68° 72°F (Nadtochii 2009).

Basal leaves vary but usually have backward-pointed teeth and resemble dandelion. Basal leaves will often wither after the plant bolts, leaving only the narrow, lance shaped leaves on the stem and branches of the plant. Narrow-leaved hawksbeard (NLHB) will bolt early in the spring and can flower from late June through September. The seeds do not require a dormant period for germination. Flowers usually are open in the morning and early afternoon, but will often close during the afternoon and evening. NLHB forms an easy to pull, shallow taproot that exudes a milky juice when broken.

Numerous flowers are borne on several branches of the stem. The plant reproduces solely by seeds and can produce up to 49,000 seeds per plant (Najda et al. 1982). The seeds are 3 mm long, purple when ripe and have a pappus of soft white hairs that allow it to easily disseminate in the wind (Hultén 1968, Bogler 2006). Seeds may also be carried by animals, machinery and humans. Control measures should focus on preventing seed production. continued on page a63

Pumpkin Eater

Trader’s Dispatch, August 2014 — Page A55

Pumpkins were once recommended for removing freckles and curing snake bites! Pumpkin flowers are edible. Pumpkins are 90% water. Pumpkins are used for feed for animals. Pumpkin seeds can be roasted as a snack. Native Americans used pumpkin seeds for food and medicine. In early colonial times, pumpkins were used as an ingredient for the crust of pies, not the filling. The name “pumpkin” originated from “pepon”, the Greek word for “large melon.” Pumpkins contain potassium and Vitamin A. FLEX HEADERS

✓ AUTO ✓ TRUCKS ✓ MOTOR HOMES ✓ 4x4’s ✓ FARM EQUIPMENT ✓ ANTIQUE & CLASSIC CARS NLHB does well on both calcareous soils and lime deficient soils but prefers nutrient rich clay and loamy soils. It can easily adapt to a wide range of climate and soil conditions. This plant is not a problem in conventionally tilled fields since NLHB does not tolerate tillage well; but can become difficult in no-till and minimum till fields, CRP, range, pasture, alfalfa and hay fields. It also inhabits roadsides and waste areas. The cool, moist conditions of reduced tillage fields provides the ideal habitat for the seed to germinate (Baig and Gamache 2005). Narrow-leaved hawksbeard can be pulled easily and this method should be used to remove small infestations of the weed. Plants that have been pulled will continue to produce seed and should be placed in a plastic bag, left in the sun to decompose then taken to the landfill. Plants in the rosette stage may be missed, so follow-up inspections of the area should be done to ensure that all the plants have been pulled. Mowing can control this invasive weed, but the plants must be mowed early in the season to keep them from using the remaining sap in the stem to produce viable seed. Mown plants may produce more seed heads at the mower level resulting in the need for additional control measures. Because the plant is a winter annual as well as a summer annual, fall tillage or fall applications of 2,4-DB at a pint to the acre or glyphosate tank mixed with a sulfonyl urea product or other residual are very effective for control of this pest in fallow, or post-harvest. Caution must be used if rotating to a susceptible crop such as peas, lentils, chickpeas, canola, mustard or flax. Research being conducted by Ed Davis, MSU Weed Scientist, has indicated that pre-plant burn-down of this plant is more effective with the use of glyphosate at 21 ounces per acre plus a residual herbicide such as Tribenuron methyl, Thifensulfuron methyl, Florasulam or fluroxypyr. Use of these products will cause issues if you are rotating to susceptible crops in the following year. His research also suggests that a burn-down herbicide alone (such as glyphosate, paraquat, carfentrazone-ethyl, or saflufenacil) may initially seem effective but the plant will overcome the injury and continue to grow and produce seed. Ed Davis’ research on post-emergent applications has shown some promise from products such as Starane Flex, Gold Sky, Huskie Complete, Widematch + Frontline, Starane Flex + Affinity Broadspectrum, and Starane Flex + Express. The addition of a sulfonyl urea greatly enhanced the long term control of NLHB in post-emergent applications.

GRAIN FIRE COVERAGE AVAILABLE

• Grain Fire insurance pays for small spot-fire losses on a per-acre basis up to the full value of your covered crop. • Grain Fire insurance covers causes of fire that MPCI does not cover. • When a fire loss is covered by MPCI, Grain Fire insurance may pay an additional indemnity. • Grain Fire coverage offers the same fire protection as a crop hail policy while the crop is in the field, but without the expense of full crop hail coverage. • You can purchase Grain Fire coverage in addition to or instead of MPCI or crop hail coverage, at any level. You decide whether you need a little extra coverage each year. • You can apply at any time. Annual coverage attaches and ends according to your state’s crop hail provisions.

New hard to manage weed: Narrow-leaved hawksbeard continued from page a63

Research conducted in 1984 by Canadian researchers Peschken and Darwent indicated that healthy stands of alfalfa could outcompete narrow-leaved hawksbeard. However, thin stands provide the ideal habitat for the pest. Caution should be used when moving hay that has been cut from fields containing NLHB since the seed will easily disperse. Currently there is no research being done in Montana for control of this weed in CRP, range, pasture or hay fields. MSU is looking into a research project in Northern Valley County beginning this fall or early next spring to evaluate control options in these areas.

If you suspect you have this weed, you are encouraged to collect a sample of it (including the roots) in a bag and bring it to your local MSU Extension office, or submit it directly to the Schutter Diagnostic Laboratory in Bozeman (http:// diagnostics.montana.edu/) for identification. Early detection and management of small infestations will reduce the expense of control measures later on. For further information please contact your local MSU Extension office.

OSU to host national beef reproduction conference

By Oklahoma State University Cow-calf producers and large-animal veterinarians should plan now to attend the 2014 Applied Reproductive Strategies in Beef Cattle Conference hosted by Oklahoma State University’s (OSU) Division of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources October 8-9. “Think of the conference as one-stop shopping, in that participants of every experience level will be able to gain insights about subjects as diverse as basic cattle reproduction and artificial insemination to the latest advances related to embryo transfer and fertility technology,” said Megan Rolf, OSU Cooperative Extension beef cattle specialist. A schedule of events is available online at http://www. beefextension.com/genetics. The two-day conference will take place in the OSU Student Union, located on the university’s Stillwater campus. The conference is an annual Beef Reproduction Task Force event that alternates from state to state. The task force is a multi-state extension activity in cooperation with the North Central Agricultural and Natural Resources Program Leaders Committee and the Cooperative State Research, Education and Extension Service. “Educating cow-calf producers and those who serve them is a primary goal of the task force,” said Dan Stein, OSU Cooperative Extension livestock production specialist. “Reproductive efficiency is a major driver of profitability and sustainability, both for a producer’s individual operation and the industry as a whole.” Key goals of the Beef Reproduction Task Force include promoting widespread adoption of reproductive technologies among cow-calf producers, educating producers in management considerations that will increase the likelihood of successful breeding of animals through artificial insemination and educating producers about marketing options to capture benefits that result from use of improved reproductive techniques. “Cow-calf producers and large-animal veterinarians should go ahead and put the conference on their schedules,” Stein said. “It will be the place to be in October. For most producers, profit margins are tight, so it is imperative they are aware of and make the best use of available technologies and animal management practices.” Anyone seeking additional information about the October 8-9 conference should contact Rolf by email at mrolf@ okstate.edu or Stein by email at daniel.stein@okstate.edu.

Developing geneti-

cally resistant hybrids is the preferred approach for disease management, but few widely effective resistance sources to sunflower rust have been identified. In an annual field survey conducted by the North Dakota State University Cooperative Extension Service and the U.S. National Sunflower Association, sunflower rust was found in 60 to 70 percent of surveyed fields. Kernels infected by rust can be damaged and discolored and are therefore unlikely to meet grading standards established by the industry for confection sunflower seeds. The rust resistant lines should be very useful to breeders who want to develop rust-resistant commercial sunflower hybrids.

Managing phosphorus in pastures

By Kezia Nanda, University of Arkansas Extension Phosphorus is an essential nutrient for plants, but too much can mean trouble for waterways. Phosphorus is critical to plant health and growth by helping the development of root and increasing resistance to disease. Pastures normally get phosphorus through fertilization because “the natural weathering of rock is not sufficient to assure the high crop yields necessary,” said Dirk Philipp, an assistant professor for the University of Arkansas System Division of Agriculture. In pastures, phosphorus tends to be concentrated in areas where grazing animals spend more time such as travel lanes, ponds, shade and hay-feeding areas, he said. When excess phosphorus washes into streams can cause eutrophication, Philipp said. In eutrophication, excess phosphorus promotes the growth of algae and oxygen depletion in lakes, leading to fish kills, he said. Other impacts of eutrophication include the decline of biodiversity, change in species dominance and toxicity of the water. Philipp suggested a couple methods that farmers and producers can do to retain phosphorus on the farm and pastures. The levels of phosphorus need to be monitored closely, he said. Testing different parts along the site is helpful because some parts need higher phosphorus levels than other. “Levels above 100 pounds per acre are considered high,” he said. Avoid applying phosphorus fertilizer before heavy rains. Keep heavily used areas away from sites prone to get run-off. Install buffer zones along streams to slow runoff. “Those buffer zones don’t have to be fancy,” Philipp said. “A single polywire will work and cattle can still graze those areas when the soil is dry.” In order to filter out sediments and hold back runoff, grass strips can be used. These strips can be established in low-laying areas of pastures where runoff after heavy rains would naturally occur. Avoid overstocking and muddying up of grazing grounds, he said. Keep forage canopy at 4 inches or more to prevent bare soil. Moving feeders and hay rings regularly can help distribute phosphorus. Managing the distribution of phosphorus for grazing pastures is important because the ingested phosphorus will be excreted in a concentrated fashion, he said. For more information about pastures, soil test, and water pollution, visit www.uaex.edu, or contact your county extension office.

Research on climate change, effects of warmer winters

By Ann Perry, Agricultural Research Service Findings from research at the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) by conducted by Agricultural Research Service (ARS) plant physiologist Lewis Ziska and published in the scientific journal PLOS ONE project changes in crop production as air temperatures increase due to climate change. ARS is USDA’s chief intramural scientific research agency, and the research supports the USDA priority of responding to climate change. In the study published today, researchers observed one of the effects that agricultural producers may see as air temperatures increase is a corresponding increase of insects, weeds and fungal pests because of milder winter temperatures. One possible result is growers may need to increase their pesticide use to respond to these pests and maintain soybean production levels. “One of our most crucial challenges is finding ways to maintain and increase crop production levels in the face of climate change,” said ARS Administrator Chavonda Jacobs-Young. “These studies underscore the importance of conducting research that helps us confront these challenges and facilitates the development of cost-effective options for the environmentally sustainable production of food, feed, and fiber.” In temperate regions, the distribution and survival of agricultural pests is often kept in check by low winter temperatures. Ziska, who works at the ARS Crop Systems and Global Change Laboratory in Beltsville, Maryland, examined average pesticide applications since 1999 for commercial soybean grown over a 1,300-mile longitudinal transect continued on page b6

Get creative to consume enough fruits and vegetables

By Oklahoma State University Although most people know they should eat more fruits and vegetables each day, many do not. Fruits and vegetables are a vital part of any diet because they provide necessary nutrients, are high in dietary fiber, and low in calories, fat and cholesterol, said Janice Hermann, Oklahoma State University (OSU) Cooperative Extension nutrition specialist. “When filling your plate, the Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommends you make half of your plate fruits and vegetables,” Hermann said. “Unfortunately, many people don’t take this recommendation to heart. But now is a great time to jump on the fruit and vegetable bandwagon.” With summer now in full swing, in-season produce is at its peak right now, making choices abundant. Your local grocery stores and farmers markets are sure to be carrying a wide selection that can please even the pickiest of eaters. Hermann said one of the great things about shopping at your local farmers market is you get fresh produce. “As an added bonus, you also help support local farmers and the local economy,” she said. Some people may be intimidated at the thought of incorporating five servings of fruits and vegetables into their diet, but it actually can be quite easily done. Add fresh fruit to cooked or whole grain cereal. If you are a fan of pancakes, add some blueberries to the batter. A tablespoon or two of naturally sweetened applesauce is a great addition to a peanut butter sandwich on whole-grain bread. Serve cut-up fruit on skewers with a low-fat or nonfat yogurt dip. Vegetables are easy to sneak into the diet as well. Add chopped vegetables to an omelet, quiche or frittata. For those who like south-of-the-border fare, add vegetables to a whole-wheat tortilla to make either a vegetable quesadilla or a breakfast burrito. When making a sandwich, add sliced cucumbers, onions, lettuce, tomatoes or even bean sprouts for variety. “If you’re craving the saltiness and crunch of potato chips, try making some kale chips at home,” she said. “Kale chips are a much better option than traditional potato chips.” Rinse and dry about a pound of kale. Remove the rib from the kale and tear into smaller pieces, about 2 inches square. Toss the leaves with 2 tablespoons of olive or vegetable oil. Place the leaves in a single layer on a baking sheet and sprinkle lightly with salt. Bake at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for about 5 minutes. Remove the baking sheet from the oven, turn the kale pieces and bake for another 5 minutes. Be sure to watch closely as the kale can burn quickly. For more information about increasing your fruit and vegetable intake, contact your local OSU Cooperative Extension office.

from Minnesota to Louisiana. Minimum daily temperatures in this study area ranged from -20 degrees Fahrenheit to 23 degrees Fahrenheit. Although soybean yields per acre did not vary by state, increases in total pesticide applications were positively correlated with increases in minimum winter temperature. This suggested that rising minimum temperatures could be a good proxy for increased pesticide use. Ziska determined that from 1977 through 2013, minimum winter temperatures were increasing throughout the transect, although the rate of increase was greater for northern states like Minnesota than for southern states like Louisiana. This observation is consistent with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change projections regarding enhanced warming with increasing latitude. Using these findings to project future pesticide use, Ziska determined that if these temperature trends continue, soybean pesticide use by region in the next 10 years may also change, with herbicide use increasing in the north and insecticide and fungicide use increasing in the south. Overall, according to Ziska, these results indicate that increases in pesticide application rates may be a means to maintain soybean production in response to potential increases in pest pressures associated with rising minimum daily temperatures and climate change. ##### Only 5 to 20 percent of coyote pups survive their first year of life.

We are your dealer for:

The DH-50 and 60 series Pillar drills are 5 plex toolbars with parallel lifting sub frames to lift and lower the double shoot Disc/Hoe openers. The main toolbar does not move to lift the openers out of the ground. With depth stops on the cylinders it is very easy to maintain the correct frame height as the disc wears or when changing seeding depth. They also feature a rear walking beam that keeps all the transport wheels on the ground. This feature removes the stress on the frame during transport and keeps the toolbar as level as possible in the field. There are walking axles on the transport wheels as well, these features keep an even load on all four corners of the toolbar all the time. The DH5010 and DH6010 Pillar disc drills come with Flexi-Coil easy flow headers but can be adapted to other air carts as well. These two models come with an 8 run, double shoot air pack.

The future of this region and the world must contain people in balance with the whole environment and sustaining dignified lifestyles. Those dignified lifestyles, always a potential loss in the winds of change, are at risk today. Not that current lifestyles are not dignified, but the whole mix of what it meant to be raised in total connectivity with the food around you through agriculture is no longer a majority thought. Western North Dakota is at another “fork in the road” because it is dealing with problems associated with current and historical energy and agricultural systems. Although these systems work for some, the end result has been accelerated growth, leaving an aging rural agricultural population. A concept of integrated agricultural and energy systems that are sustainable at the local level, keeps our rural population abundant, is beneficial to our urban partners and is capable of meeting the world’s food and energy needs is slowly emerging. However, it is in its infancy. Did the settlers really think through all

Trader’s Dispatch, August 2014 — Page B9

the consequences of pounding a claim stake into a piece of ground? Probably not, but the need at the time was a potato to eat, some eggs to collect, a daily bucket of milk, a cellar for dry goods and, they hoped, a piece of meat. Starvation drove many settlers here, not economics. Keeping the next generation here certainly is not dependent on food availability. If care is not taken, lost in the generational transition could be a way of life or purpose of existence that have less tangible positive impacts on “it’s about people.” The center will continue expanding our relationship with the energy industry and working with agricultural producers to continue to emphasis conservation and preservation for future generations. However, the answer already may be known if one learns from the past by reflecting on this old Native American saying: “We do not inherit the land from our ancestors; we borrow it from our children.” May you find all your ear tags.

Market value of feeder cattle weight gain

By Darrell Mark, SDSU Economics Adjunct Professor Feeder cattle prices have reached lofty levels this year. The combined weighted average price for 500-599 lb steers in South Dakota was $260.48/cwt for the third week of June, almost $60/cwt higher than at the beginning of the year and more than $100/cwt higher than a year ago. Prices for 700799 lb steers averaged $217.03/cwt, $43/cwt higher than the beginning of January and $72/cwt higher than a year ago. These higher prices have been driven by shrinking cattle supplies and generally good demand from feedyards with excess feeding capacity. Recent cattle on feed reports have indicated that cattle feeders have been placing more lighter weight calves on feed as available supplies of feeder cattle have decreased. As discussed in last week’s article, placements of calves weighing less than 600 lb were 10% higher in May compared to a year ago. As a result of this trend towards placing lighter weight calves on feed, the value of gain for these light weight calves is quite high. For example, during the first half of June, 350 lb steer calves in South Dakota averaged $274.96/ cwt or $962.36/head. Steer calves weighing 450 lb averaged $280.17/cwt or $1260.77/head. Thus, the market’s valuation for the additional 100 lb of weight was $298.41/cwt. Similar calculations reveal that the market’s valuation for the next 100 lb of weight gain (from 450 lb to 550 lb) drops substantially to $156.64/cwt. Another 100 lb of weight (550 lb to 650 lb) currently costs $107.56/cwt at market prices. The market’s lowest valuation for cost of gain is from 650 lb to 750 lb: $70.88/cwt. Beyond that weight, the market’s value for weight gain increases to $103.21/cwt (750 lb to 850 lb) and then is $81.81/cwt for 850 lb to 950 lb. Considering these market valuations for additional weight on feeder cattle is particularly useful in the context of actual feeding cost of gain. While cost of gain varies across feedyards due to differences in feed rations, purchasing and hedging decisions, and other production and performance variables, many feedyards currently would have a projected feeding cost of gain around $87-93/cwt for yearling placements. At an average feeding cost of gain of $90/cwt, the market value of incremental weight is higher for all weights except from 650 lb to 750 lb and 850 lb to 950 lb. In other words, for all weights (particularly lighter weight calves), feedyards are better off purchasing lighter weight calves and putting the weight on them rather than buying the additional weight at current market prices. The exception to that (at least during the first half of June) was that it would have been more economical to purchase a 750 lb steer instead of a 650 lb steer or a 950 lb steer instead of an 850 lb steer. While these relationships do change as market conditions change, it does help explain why cattle feeders have been aggressively placing light weight feeder calves. Additionally, they are likely targeting better seasonal fed cattle prices in early 2015 by placing light weight calves rather than lower late-summer and early fall markets that heavy weight yearlings would have been placed against. Another consideration is that lighter weight feeder cattle cost fewer total dollars per head than heavier weight yearlings. At near record high feeder cattle prices and fewer outside investors interested in feeding cattle, a feedyard’s working capital needs are very high and the incentive is there to spend fewer dollars per head to obtain feeder cattle.

Beef market winter challenges continue

By Derrell Peel, Oklahoma State University Extension Another blast of severe winter weather moved across the U.S. causing problems for cattle producers and impacting beef distribution and consumption. Cattle and beef markets continue to exhibit volatility in the face of supply and demand disruptions. Boxed beef prices increased sharply last week with Choice values up $10/cwt to finish the week at $225/cwt. Fed cattle prices increased to end the week at about $150/cwt. Winter weather is contributing to reduced beef production in 2014. Beef production for the year to date is down 6.9 percent compared to last year with total cattle slaughter down 7.5 percent year over year. Reported average cattle carcass weights have averaged about 4 pounds heavier so far this year but this masks some of the underlying cattle production issues. Overall cattle carcass weights are a function of the carcass weights of individual classes of slaughter cattle as well as the composition of cattle slaughter by class. Average steer carcass weights are about a pound lighter so far this year, while heifer and cow carcass weights are slightly heavier. However, steer slaughter is the largest slaughter component and is a larger percentage of total slaughter this year contributing to a higher cattle carcass weight average even with lighter steer carcasses. For the year to date, steer slaughter is down 6.5 percent; heifer slaughter is down 10.7 percent; and cow slaughter is down 11 percent, all compared to the same period last year. In Oklahoma, cattle producers have faced an unusually large amount of cold weather which has added many chalcontinued on page b14

N.D. youth compete in National 4-H Shooting Sports

By NDSU Extension Service The North Dakota 4-H shooting sports compound archery team placed 11th overall at the recent National 4-H Shooting Sports Invitational in Grand Island, Nebraska. The team placed 10th in the 3-D competition, 15th in field archery and 11th in the FITA (Federation Internationale de Tir a l’Arc) round to secure the overall 11th place. Four team members also placed individually. Quaid Larsen of Stark-Billings counties placed 27th, Jade Ellingson of Morton County placed 43rd, Jacob Ellingson of Morton County placed 47th and Skyler Bitz of Morton County placed 55th. The team also included Blake Hensley of Morton County as an alternate. Jeff Ellingson and Greg Eider are the team’s coaches. Members compete at the national level in teams, which consist of the top four individuals from state qualifying tournaments. Competitors must be 14 to 19 years old and may not compete at the national level in the same discipline twice. The three-day national competition included 516 participants representing 34 states. Disciplines at the competition were compound and recurve archery, air pistol, air rifle, hunting, muzzle-loading, shotgun, small-bore pistol and small-bore rifle. The goal of the 4-H shooting sports project is to teach life skills such as responsibility, critical thinking, sportsmanship, team building and ethical behavior while the youth learn safe handling of firearms, bow equipment and marksmanship. The primary sponsors for the trip to the national competition were the Morton County Farm Bureau, Stark County Farm Bureau, North Dakota 4-H Foundation, Armstrong Co. and Roughrider Archers. For more information about 4-H and the shooting sports project, contact your local county NDSU Extension agent.

Beef market winter challenges continue continued from page b11

lenges to provide water and extra feed for cattle. The cold, dry weather since early January stopped wheat growth and resulted in rapid depletion of wheat pasture. Many winter stockers were marketed early and producers using winter wheat to support cows have had to make other feed arrangements. Oklahoma had generally abundant hay supplies this winter but increased feed requirements are likely depleting hay supplies quickly. With many entering calving season, there are many challenges managing newborn calves in cold weather. Cow nutritional requirements increase dramatically with calving and lactation and it is a challenge to maintain cows in condition to rebreed on schedule this spring. Feed quantity and quality are both critical after calving to avoid impacts, not only on the current calf crop, but also on reproductive performance that will affect future production. Winter storms impact cattle performance in feedlots and those impacts will be evident in the market for several weeks. Additionally, later storms that occur during spring calving season have more potential for long term impacts on cattle production for many months. Winter weather takes cattle performance and production out of the system that is never recovered and further reduces beef supplies in an already declining beef production situation.

Temperament and cattle performance

By Elaine Grings, South Dakota State University How important is it to cull those cows with excitable temperaments? Being a ‘good mother’ can be an important trait in a cow for protecting her calf, being too aggressive can have negative consequences. Excitable cattle tend to have high levels of the stress hormone, cortisol, in their blood, which can affect health, reproduction and growth in your cattle. Temperament can be quantified by using several tests when working cattle in chutes. A chute score is a 5-point scale (1= calm, no movement, 2 = restless movement, 3 = frequent movement with vocalization, 4 = constant movement, vocalization, shaking of the chute, 5 = violent and continuous struggling) that can be assigned when cattle are in the chute. Exit velocity or flight speed has been measured by researchers using infrared sensors. Researchers in Colorado compared flight speed measured by sensors to an exit score (1 = walk, 2 = trot, 3 = run) assigned by an observer and found the exit score to be well related to flight speed and negatively related to average daily gain. Averaging an exit and chute scores to give a temperament score gives a better indication of expected animal performance than either score alone as they are likely measuring slightly different behaviors. Research in Oregon has shown effects of temperament on reproduction in beef cattle. Over four hundred spring-calving range cows at two locations in eastern Oregon were tested for temperament using both a chute score and measurement of exit velocity from a squeeze chute. About 25% of the cows were scored as aggressive and these cows had lower pregnancy rates (89%) than the adequate temperament cows (95%). At one location, cows were bred by AI followed by turn out with a bull. The second location used natural service mating only. The lowered pregnancy rate even when bulls were used indicates that the effect was not due solely to stress during handling at AI. Based on this and other studies, the researchers suggest culling on temperament or adapting cattle to handling to maximize reproductive performance in beef cows. Increased handling of heifers may help them to become adjusted to the handling process and to humans. The same researchers in Oregon conducted a study to evaluate the effect of acclimating heifers to handling on reproductive performance. After weaning, they divided heifer calves into two groups. One group was processed through a handling facility three times a week for four weeks. Heifers receiving more frequent handling reached puberty at an earlier age than their herdmates, but pregnancy rates after AI were not different. The more frequently-handled heifers had lower exit scores than those handled less frequently, but chute scores did not differ between the two groups. The research therefore suggests that training heifers to handling may decrease days to puberty. They do caution that this training needs to occur when animals are fairly young because older cows did not change their temperament behavior when handled more frequently. A recent study conducted in Louisiana did not find a relationship between temperament score and pregnancy status in beef heifers, but did see a negative relationship of score to weight gain, with heifers with higher scores gaining less weight. Temperament can affect your bottom line beyond reproduction. Cattle with excitable temperaments can have decreased growth rates as a result of altered metabolism associated with high levels of stress hormones. These hormones can affect how energy is used by the body and can affect stores of protein and energy. Not only does this affect rate of gain, but can also affect carcass characteristics by the effects on body energy stores. In addition, cattle with excitable temperaments tend to have more bruising on the carcass and increased incidence of dark cutters.

Calcium makes for an environmentally friendly pickle

By Kim Kaplan, Agricultural Research Service U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) scientists have developed a way to help pickle producers replace most of their pickling salt with calcium chloride. This is helping turn an environmental problem into an environmental plus for the pickle industry. The U.S. pickle industry has been facing growing environmental troubles with disposing of the salty brining solution used to turn cucumbers into pickles. Americans consume nine pounds of pickles per capita each year. Brine disposal was one of the factors that helped push the California olive pickling and processing industry out of that state and overseas in the 1980s. But microbiologist Ilenys Pérez-Díaz, food technologist Suzanne Johanningsmeier and chemist Roger F. McFeeters (now retired) at the Agricultural Research Service (ARS) Food Science Research Unit in Raleigh, North Carolina, have developed a way to replace most of the sodium chloride in the brine—the pickling liquid—with calcium chloride. Used calcium chloride solution can be a desirable soil amendment rather than a pollutant disposal problem. ARS is USDA’s chief intramural scientific research agency.   Using calcium chloride not only retains desirable firmness in cucumbers as they pickle, but also speeds up the microbiological work of fermentation, according to the researchers. The technology has already been put to work commercially at the Mt. Olive Pickle Company of Mt. Olive, North Carolina, the largest independent pickle company in the United States, where 66,000 bushels of cucumbers were turned into hamburger dill chips and several flavors of pickle relishes and salad cubes in 2013, using the calcium chloride. While that represented only a small part of the company’s annual production, it proved there is a workable answer to at least part of the industry’s environmental problem. The lowered salt is strictly a processing issue and has no impact on the dietary salt content of a pickle. Now Pérez-Díaz and Johanningsmeier are modifying the calcium chloride technology as a way to preserve gherkin pickles that are imported in acid solution from India. Currently, gherkins undergo a 40-day Atlantic transit packed in vinegar, salt and sulfite; the last ingredient has come to be considered an undesirable ingredient, as some people are sensitive to it. Sulfite would not be needed with new brine formulation. The United States is a major gherkin market, but India also supplies gherkins to many other countries, so improving the health and environmental circumstances of this product could have worldwide impact.

Wyoming agriculture: Growing opportunities

By Rhonda Brandt, National Agricultural Statistics Service In May 2014, abundant snow and rain turned Wyoming pastures and crops green. In the same month, the 2012 Census of Agriculture showed that farmers and ranchers grew their opportunities from 2007 to 2012. Wyoming is one of only 10 states that increased both the number of farms and ranches, up 6.1 percent, as well as the amount of land they operate, up 0.6 percent, between New and Used 2007 and 2012. Once again, Wyoming farmers and ranchNew New andand Used Skidsteers & Used Over 200 tractor and skidsteer Dirt, Bullet Rock, DP, ers operated the largest farms and ranches in the U.S. with Skidsteers & Excavators Over 200 tractor and skidsteer Dirt, Bullet Rock, DP, attachments available.

The number of Wyoming CODY, WY - We Deliver farmers and ranchers under the age of 35 increased by 17.4 from 2007-2012. Along with new farmers and ranchers, came new technologies. As many farmers and ranchers continued the widespread use of windmills to provide water, 147 Wyoming farmers used wind turbines to generate electricity, too. Another 647 farmers used solar panels to generate energy. In addition, 76.4 percent of Wyoming farmers and ranchers had high-speed internet access, ranking Wyoming 15th among all states and well above the U.S. average of 69.6 percent. Wyoming agriculture is growing big, like the size of their average farm. Check back next Thursday for the next state spotlight from the 2012 Census of Agriculture and the National Agricultural Statistics Service. Of the 3,144 counties in the United States, several Wyoming counties ranked in the top 10, including: - 2nd – Johnson County elk inventory - 9th – Fremont County horse and pony inventory - 10th – Fremont County hay and forage acres - 10th – Converse County sheep and lamb inventory - 10th – Laramie County sheep, goats, and their products sales More interesting Wyoming agricultural facts from the 2012 Census of Agriculture include: The market value of all crops sold totaled $439 million, more than double 2007 and the largest increase of any state. Wyoming barley acres ranked 7th among all states. Wyoming sheep inventory ranked 4th in the nation. The market value of all livestock and their products totaled $1.25 billion. Goshen County beef cattle inventory ranked 1st among all Wyoming counties. I would like to thank all Wyoming farmers and ranchers who reported their individual information. The Census of Agriculture tells their story. It shows how they created and took advantage of opportunities over the last five years.

Turn barley into fish food

By Sandra Avant, Agricultural Research Service A process that improves the nutritional value of barley for use in fish feed has been developed by scientists at the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and Montana Microbial Products LLC (MMP) of Missoula, Montana. Barley typically contains about 10 to 12 percent protein, but 40 to 60 percent protein is needed in diets of carnivorous fish like rainbow trout and salmon. The new enzymatic process patented by the Agricultural Research Service (ARS) and MMP concentrates protein by removing the carbohydrates in barley and turning them into an ethanol coproduct, utilizing all the nutrients in the grain. ARS is USDA’s principal intramural scientific research agency, and this research supports the USDA priority of promoting international food security. The new high-protein product produced by this technology should help fill the gap for more plant-based protein sources as alternatives to fishmeal, which is made from small ocean fish, according to fish physiologist Rick Barrows, with the ARS Small Grains and Potato Germplasm Research Unit in Aberdeen, Idaho. In addition, barley protein concentrate has less variability in composition and is less expensive than most fishmeals. Barrows, who works in Bozeman, Montana, and his team tested barley protein concentrate in rainbow trout and found digestibility—the percentage of nutrients available to the fish—to be as high as 95 percent. The product also was tested in Atlantic salmon by research leader William Wolters and fish physiologist Gary Burr at the ARS National Cold Water Marine Aquaculture Center in Franklin, Maine. Atlantic salmon were fed a diet containing either 11 percent or 22 percent barley protein concentrate. The growth of those salmon was not significantly different from salmon fed a standard fishmeal diet. Also, the fish that ate the 22 percent barley protein concentrate diet had significantly greater energy retention compared to fish fed the other diets. Higher energy retention demonstrates that the fish are using the feed more efficiently. MMP has built a commercial prototype plant in Montana to produce barley protein concentrate for trout feeding trials. The company also plans to build a commercial facility in the near future.

Shade reduces cattle heat stress

By Deke Alkire, The Samuel Roberts Noble Foundation Whether from natural sources or man-made structures, adequate shade is an effective tool to reduce heat stress in cattle. Cattle will naturally seek shade when the temperature and humidity rise. In many parts of the U.S., shade is a necessity for grazing animals to maintain optimal performance. Heat stress can greatly impact cattle performance through decreased milk production and subsequent calf growth, decreased reproductive performance in cows and bulls, and decreased stocker and feeder calf performance. The ideal temperature range for beef cattle is between 41 degrees Fahrenheit and 77 degrees Fahrenheit. When temperatures exceed this range, cattle are at risk of heat stress. Many environmental factors affect the potential for heat stress, including relative humidity, wind speed, solar radiation, ground cover, access to water, diet, shade and nighttime temperatures. In addition, individual animal characteristics can contribute to heat stress. These include hide color, breed, health, adaptation, hair coat length and disposition. When a combination of these factors and ambient temperature cause an animal’s heat load to exceed its ability to dissipate that heat, heat stress occurs. Adequate shade can be effective at reducing the effects of heat stress. The minimum amount of shade required is 30 to 40 square feet for mature cattle, 20 to 25 square feet for feeder cattle and 15 to 20 square feet for stockers. If shade is limited, heat stress can be compounded by animals crowding together. Portable or permanent  Many times, there is natural shade available in pastures. However, if natural shade is inadequate, consider constructing permanent or portable shade structures. Permanent structures are more suitable for feeding pens and receiving or weaning traps but can be placed in pastures as well. The initial cost of constructing a permanent structure is about $1 per square foot of shade but can vary depending on material costs in your area. Portable structures are more expensive to construct but can be moved with the cattle, decreasing the number of units needed. Other advantages to a portable structure include more uniform grazing, less pasture damage in the shaded area and better manure distribution. Location  Be sure to locate shade structures to take advantage of prevailing winds during summer. Select areas with minimal slope to prevent erosion that can result from concentrated animal traffic. Also, manure will be concentrated in this area and can contaminate ponds and streams. It is important to leave an adequate buffer along drainages to prevent nutrient runoff. If possible, design shade structures in a long rectangle oriented north to south. A long rectangle, as opposed to a large square, spreads animals out and facilitates drying. Design considerations  Both permanent and portable structures should be a minimum of 10 feet tall to allow adequate air flow. In heavy use situations, permanent structures will require manure removal and should be designed to allow easy access based on the size of your equipment. Shade cloth makes a good covering because it is relatively inexpensive, easily replaced and allows for good air flow. Use a UV-resistant cloth that blocks at least 80 percent of light, and expect to replace it every five to eight years. Solid coverings are more expensive and last longer but are more susceptible to wind damage. Consider a taller structure if a solid covering is used. Every operation is different, and each pasture will have a unique need for shade. The decision to construct shade structures should be based on animal welfare and economics. The cheapest option may be to plant more trees. If natural shade is limited, animals will benefit from shade structures and, if well built, they should last many years.

Improve soil carbon calculations

By Ann Perry, Agricultural Research Service A potential source of error in calculating soil carbon budgets has been identified by scientists at the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). Agricultural Research Service (ARS) soil scientist Hero Gollany has used these findings to refine methods for assessing farming practices that retain carbon in the soil and thus mitigate carbon emissions that contribute to global climate change. ARS is USDA’s chief intramural scientific research agency, and these findings support the USDA priority of responding to climate change. Rates of soil carbon retention, known as sequestration, are often measured and estimated by tracking changes in total soil carbon over time. Carbon from crop residues or other decaying plant material is present in soil samples collected for these sequestration studies. But this “accrued” carbon is not actually sequestered in the soil until after the carbon becomes attached to soil mineral particles, a process that can take several decades. Until that happens, the accrued carbon from decomposing plant material can readily be lost from the soil, because it is not bound or associated with soil particles. Inadvertently adding the accrued carbon to measurements of sequestered carbon results in overestimates of how agronomic practices affect sequestration levels. Gollany and Washington State University soil microbiologist Ann-Marie Fortuna used data from another soil carbon field study to see how levels of a specific type of carbon called “light-fraction” carbon affected measurements. Using this method, the scientists determined that carbon sequestration levels measured in the study included carbon from fine crop residue materials that passed through sieves during sample processing—carbon that had accrued in the soil, but was not yet sequestered via decomposition. This accrued carbon ranged from 13 percent to 19 percent of the total soil carbon in the samples. This, in turn, skewed attempts to use carbon data from the samples to model soil carbon sequestration levels. Gollany, who works at the ARS Soil Conservation Research Unit in Pendleton, Oregon, published her findings in 2013 in the Soil Science Society of America Journal.

By University of Wyoming Extension This long-time 4-H fabric and fashion leader may have had the Western Region Outstanding Lifetime Volunteer Award sewn up for several years. Donna Hanson of Niobrara County has passed a love of sewing and quilting to innumerable 4-H members, said Denise Smith, University of Wyoming Extension 4-H and nutrition and food safety educator in the county. The 2014 Regional 4-H Salute to Excellence Volunteer Recognition Program annually selects an outstanding lifetime volunteer. The review team selected eight regional winners. Hanson says the award was a surprise. “My main goal is to help members learn how to sew and gain a lifelong skill,” she said, “Girls who I have worked with have gone on to receive their master’s degree in apparel and become 4-H sewing leaders themselves.” Hanson spent six years in Jeffrey City as a home economics teacher. She married Danny Hanson, and they moved to Niobrara County in 1981. Hanson’s involvement with 4-H began as a parent and a leader of the Fairview 4-H Club in 1983. Both of her sons are now at home on the family ranch, and her current role in 4-H is as a county leader in the Fabric and Fashion Project. Hanson and several other 4-H sewing leaders meet weekly with 20-25 sewing members from October until county fair helping members learn about sewing and complete their 4-H sewing and quilting projects. According to Smith, “If a member cannot attend the weekly sewing meetings at the fairgrounds, Donna has them come to her house to sew or she even goes to their house to sew.” Hanson has been instrumental in growing the Niobrara sewing project, but she also volunteers for other events in the county. She has been a member of the Niobrara County Homemakers for 33 years, has served as chairman of the annual Christmas Bazaar for 25 years, has worked in the kitchen during county fairs serving meals, has been an active member of the Niobrara Cattlewomen and has served terms on the local school board. The Niobrara 4-H Council donated $200 to Hanson in honor of the award. “We plan to purchase another sewing machine that will be kept at the extension office,” Smith said. “The more machines we get, the more kids we can keep sewing all the time.” Smith said the Niobrara 4-H program would not be as successful without leaders who volunteer their time to help its members learn skills. “It is people like Donna who make Niobrara County and Wyoming such a great place to live,” noted Smith.

Stuff Willie Lee said

By Dr. Roy Burris, Beef Extension Specialist, University of Kentucky The rural area where I grew up didn’t have a lot of the social problems that we deal with today. However, we did have one homeless person and that was “Willie Lee”. Willie Lee may have been somewhat mentally-challenged but he seemed to enjoy life on a different level than most people. My first memory of Willie Lee is of him walking down the road singing the “Salty Dog Blues”. I wondered where he was going in such a good mood. He wasn’t going any place in particular and didn’t seem too worried about it. One day some guys pulled up in a shiny car and asked him for directions: “Could you tell me how to get to Haydenburg?” “Me don’t know.” “What’s the name of this road?” “Me don’t know.” “You don’t know much, do you?” “Me ain’t lost.” Willie Lee had worked on our farm some as a young man and he would stop by from time to time. Since he was about the same size as my father, that stop was usually good for a change of clothes. He would occasionally say something profound, too. “I wish I knew where I was going to die.” “Why on earth would you want to know that?” “Me wouldn’t go there.” Willie had worked for my grandfather and father. So when my friend, Olin, and I were planting trees he came walking by and I got him to help us by “dropping” the trees. One of us would use a dibble bar to make a hole, Willie would drop the tree and the other would close the hole. Willie took his job seriously. Olin asked how many trees we were getting in a row and I replied “a hundred”. Willie took issue with that. “No. ninety-seven.” “Yeah, about a hundred.” “No. Ninety-seven.” “I said about a hundred--.” “One, two, three, four….” “You don’t have to count them.” “One, two, three, four…” “Oh, okay.” A few minutes later--.” “See, I told you ninety-seven.” “Thanks.” Things were going pretty well and it was time for lunch. We sat down at the end of the row to eat. Willie wiped his nose on his hand and reached into the bag of potato chips. “I thought you was hungry.” “No, my stomach doesn’t feel so good.” “Okay, I’ll eat ‘em.” “Go ahead.” Willie came by the funeral home during my father’s visitation to pay his respects and that was the last time that I saw him. I hadn’t thought much about him until recently when Karen and I spent a weekend, along with members of our church, at a shelter for homeless men. We can learn a lot from people that “seem different from us”. We might learn that they aren’t so different. I was impressed by how polite and respectful the homeless men were. On Saturday night, after everyone was fed, some of us ventured into an up-scale restaurant in Memphis to enjoy some of their famous ribs. Most of the clientele there appeared to be very well-heeled. It occurred to me that the first acts of rudeness and words of profanity that I heard that weekend were there – and not at the mission. What? You were expecting a better class of people? Education and affluence does not equal class or character. There are a lot of good people out there – some we just haven’t met…or bothered to talk to. I saw on the news where one billionaire sports team owner just embarrassed the National Basketball Association with his ill-advised comments. I’ll bet Willie Lee never carried any ill-will toward anyone. We could learn a lot from Willie Lee. Maybe we all need to figure out what really makes us happy. And, as Willie Lee might have said, “it makes no differences where you go – there you are!” Make the best of it! ##### My grandfather wanted a motorcycle with a sidecar for his 90th birthday. We thought it was too dangerous, so instead we just bought him the sidecar. ##### The technicians who design hearing aids must not be very old. You can tell, because their models don’t come with filters for “rap music,” “spouse,” or “neighbor’s dog.”

Prairie Fare: Fish for good nutrition

By Julie Garden-Robinson, Food and Nutrition Specialist, NDSU Extension Service Every time our wedding anniversary arrives in May, I think about the date we selected. Not only was it the day I walked through the graduation ceremony for my doctorate degree, it also was the opening of fishing season. The fishing opener date was a bit of a dilemma for some of my relatives. Would any of my fishermen relatives come to our wedding? My mother was a little worried about that, so I suggested that we elope. We stayed with the fishing opener. I wasn’t thinking much about fishing poles as I diligently completed my research and wrote my dissertation while planning the wedding. I needed to be sure I’d be ready to wear the black gown to the graduation ceremony and the white gown to the wedding. Fortunately, our evening wedding allowed people to drop a few fishing lines in a lake earlier in the day. Therefore, every wedding anniversary reminds me of fish and seafood and is a good reminder of the current recommendation. Adults should aim to eat 8 ounces of fish and seafood per week. At the same time, we should think about the food preparation methods used for the fish. Deep-fried fish is not as healthful as grilled or broiled fish. Meeting the recommendation could be as easy as having a tuna fish sandwich for lunch one day and a serving of grilled salmon for dinner on another day. Fish and seafood are excellent sources of protein and they provide a range of nutrients, including omega-3 fatty acids that are both heart- and brain-healthy. Although fresh walleye, tuna and salmon can be costprohibitive for some, the frozen and canned versions often are more economical and equally nutritious. Be sure to thaw frozen fish in the refrigerator because it is among our most perishable foods. To add flavor, sprinkle the fish or seafood with your favorite spices, then grill or broil. You can dip it in milk and roll in flour or seasoned cracker crumbs, then broil or fry in a small amount of oil. Fish is done when it flakes with a fork, so be sure not to overcook it. Here are some ways to use canned fish such salmon and tuna in your menus: • Serve it with pasta. Make a tuna casserole or use it in a macaroni salad. • Pile it on a green salad. Adding a protein source to a lunchtime salad makes it more filling, so you are less likely to be looking for treats by midafternoon. • Make a sandwich. Combine canned tuna or salmon with plain Greek yogurt or mayonnaise and chopped celery. Add pepper and a little salt to taste, then spread the mixture on a slice of whole-wheat bread and top with romaine lettuce, tomato slices and another slice of bread. For extra protein, chop a hard-cooked egg and add that to your mixture, too. • Create dips and spreads. Combine canned tuna or salmon with mayonnaise or plain Greek yogurt. Add salt and pepper, minced onion and preferred spices. Serve the dip with whole-wheat crackers. • Try fish tacos. Sauté onion, tomato and tuna or salmon in a pan until heated through. Add cilantro and other veggies to add flavor. Pile the mixture onto a flour tortilla and top with a lemon wedge, avocado slice, salsa and/or sour cream. We have amassed a few fishing poles during our marriage, but my gathering of fish and seafood happens at the grocery store or through the sharing of the “catch” from relatives. Here’s an easy lunch featuring canned tuna. Add some carrot sticks, fresh strawberries and milk and you have a balanced meal that will carry you through the afternoon. Tuna Melt 2 (5-ounce) cans chunk light tuna in water, drained 1/4 c. red onion, chopped 2 Tbsp. mayonnaise 1 Tbsp. lemon juice 1/8 tsp. black pepper Salsa to taste 4 slices whole-wheat bread, toasted 1/4 c. finely shredded cheddar cheese Preheat broiler. Toast bread. Combine tuna, onion, mayonnaise, lemon juice, salsa and pepper in a medium bowl. Spread one-fourth of the tuna mixture on each slice of toast; top with cheese. Place on a baking sheet and broil until cheese is bubbling and golden brown, three to five minutes. Makes four servings (one open-faced sandwich per serving). Each serving has 250 calories, 7 grams (g) of fat, 32 g of protein, 21 g of carbohydrate and 400 milligrams of sodium.

It’s hot outside

By Bruce Auchly, FWP Region 4 Information Officer How hot is it? It was so hot last week I saw a dog chasing a cat and they were both walking. Okay, so Vaudeville, like that joke, is dead. But how animals cope with hot weather is no joke. If they don’t stay cool, they die. Amphibians, like boreal chorus frogs and tiger salamanders (both common east of the Continental Divide), need to keep their skin moist and cool. That can be hard to do during summer on the hot, dry prairie of central and eastern Montana. Boreal frogs are heard everywhere in the spring and early summer. During their April-June breeding season their loud, short chirp that resembles the slow running of fingers over the teeth of a comb, seems to come from every prairie pond and water-filled roadside ditch. Then arrives July’s heat and the small frogs that measure only about an inch long disappear. Actually, they will go underground, beneath vegetation, into water tanks, or even on building foundations. Whatever it takes. Tiger salamanders survive by spending daylight hours in borrows, under logs and rocks or in prairie dog burrows. People sometimes find this secretive six- to eight-inch-long amphibian in basements, window wells or stock tanks. The tiger salamander’s coloration makes it appear odd to most; its body typically a crazy quilt of blotched olive or pale yellow markings on a black or dark green background. But the fun really starts the morning after a summer downpour when folks not used to this psychedelic looking critter find it on their patio and wonder what the gates of Hades hath spawned. For mammals, one method of dealing with heat is changing their winter coat to a summer one. In May and June, white-tailed deer shed their thick winter hair, replaced with thinner reddish-brown hair. By the early fall, their winter hair grows through the summer coat to create a gray or grayish-brown coat. Elk are similar. Right now they are wearing their summer hair, a deep reddish-brown color with little or no under coat, giving them a sleek look. By early September, they are changing into their darker, thicker winter coat. And then there’s night time. Many animals (bears, raccoons, and deer) lay low on hot summer days and become active at night. Many of us did the same as teenagers. Birds, except for owls, are mostly active by day. When it gets too hot some birds get rid of extra body heat through their respiratory (breathing) system, which collects warm, moist air from overheated internal tissues and expels it through its lungs. Basically they pant. A peculiar method used by the common nighthawk (it’s a bird but not a hawk) is to go into a deep, deep sleep, called torpor, almost like a summer hibernation. The nighthawk, a relative of the whip-poor-will of the South, relies on its camouflage to avoid predators as it slumbers away in the heat of the day. Then there are fish. Lucky the fish that gets to lay in cool water on a hot summer day. Of course they don’t have a choice. Trout often drop into deeper water because it’s cooler and contains more oxygen than warm water. Ideal trout water temperatures are in the mid-50’s. Once the aquatic thermometer hits 70, they are headed for trouble unless there is cooler, well-oxygenated water they can retreat to. Stay cool. ##### Irish saying - There are only three kinds of men who don’t understand women: young men, old men, and middle aged men.

Prairie Fare: Pickled green beans inspire canning intentions

By Julie Garden-Robinson, Food and Nutrition Specialist, NDSU Extension Service I have been admiring the beans growing in my garden and my neighbor’s garden. I planted three rows of beans, and I also have a row of pole beans climbing on a mesh framework. One day my husband and I were admiring the neighbor’s garden, and she invited us in for some treats. No, they weren’t cookies. She pickled green beans last summer, and she shared them with us. Before we realized it, my husband and I polished off most of a jar of green beans pickled with garlic and red pepper flakes. “Does she know how to can safely?” he asked me later. If he was feeling any gastrointestinal twinges, most likely it was due to the large amount of fiber we had just eaten. “No, you will not be afflicted with botulism. She knows the safe recipes to use for canning. If she strayed from the recipe, we are in serious trouble because we ate a lot of green beans!” I added. I’m still here to write the column, so she canned safely. I am inspired to can my own pickled beans this summer because I think I will have a bumper crop to eat fresh, freeze and can. Many types of beans, including snap beans and dry edible beans, grow very well in the upper Midwest. Snap beans, also commonly referred to as green beans or string beans, are close relatives to dry edible beans. They both belong to the same genus/species and together are referred to as “common beans.” Because snap beans are picked at this young stage, the beans can be snapped in half with a simple twist of the fingers, hence the name “snap” beans. Snap bean varieties include purple, wax (yellow) and the very common green bean. Snap beans are harvested and consumed while immature, before the inner bean in the pod has begun to develop. On

Pickled green beans continued from page c19

the other hand, dry edible beans actually are the inner seeds of the pod and are not harvested until mature (when the pod is too firm and fibrous to be consumed fresh). Although snap beans are botanically similar to dry edible beans, they differ greatly in nutritional value. They are an excellent, low-calorie food that contains a variety of nutrients, such as vitamins A, C and K, folate and potassium. However, snap beans contain less starch, protein, fiber and folate than dry edible beans. While snap beans are a very nutritious food, they are not quite as nutrient-dense as dry edible beans, so they are not classified as beans or protein foods in the Dietary Guidelines for Americans. Instead, snap beans are classified as vegetables. When selecting fresh green beans, look for beans that are deep green and straight, and snap easily. Snap beans are a delicious and versatile vegetable that can be prepared in a number of ways, including steamed, stir-fried or as part of a salad. Canning “plain” green beans requires the use of a pressure canner because green beans are a “low-acid food.” Pickled green beans can be processed in a water-bath canner because they are canned in a vinegar brine. See http://tinyurl.com/lowacidveggies for guidelines about canning vegetables. See http://tinyurl.com/picklinginfo for pickling information. Here is a recipe for pickled green beans from the National Center for Home Food Preservation. Note that this recipe uses weights for the green beans. Investing in a scale and weighing the vegetables is the best way to ensure safe food preservation. Pickled Dilled Beans 4 pounds fresh tender green or yellow beans (5 to 6 inches long) 8 to 16 heads fresh dill 8 cloves garlic (optional) 1/2 c. canning or pickling salt 4 c. white vinegar (5 percent) 4 c. water 1 tsp. hot red pepper flakes (optional) Wash and trim ends from beans and cut to 4-inch lengths. In each sterile pint jar, place one to two dill heads and, if desired, one clove of garlic. Place whole beans upright in jars, leaving 1/2-inch head space. Trim beans to ensure proper fit if necessary. Combine salt, vinegar water and pepper flakes (if desired). Bring to a boil. Add hot solution to beans, leaving 1/2-inch head space. Know your altitude prior to selecting your processing time. Adjust lids and process in boiling water bath for five minutes if your altitude is less than 1,000 feet, for 10 minutes if your altitude is 1,001 to 6,000 feet or 15 minutes if your altitude is above 6,000 feet. Makes about eight pints.

Robin Coulter Lapaseotes Memorial Scholarship

By University of Nebraska-Lincoln The Robin Coulter Lapaseotes Memorial Scholarship for Agricultural Entrepreneurship Students has been established in the College of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln (UNL). A gift of $120,000 was made by the family and friends of Robin Coulter Lapaseotes, a rancher, community leader and entrepreneur from Bridgeport. Coulter Lapaseotes was killed in an automobile accident in February 2014. Two awards of $6,000 will be awarded annually to recipients who are enrolled in majors in CASNR at UNL, have a declared minor in the Engler Agribusiness Entrepreneurship Program, and are committed to pursuing an entrepreneurial career in agriculture following graduation. A former advisory board member for the Engler Program, Coulter Lapaseotes was a force of enthusiasm and vision for young women desiring to build businesses in agriculture and rural communities. The inaugural recipients of the award are Amber Burenheide of Howells and Kolin Scheele of Odell. Burenheide is a junior who characterizes herself as “a small town girl trying to make a difference in a big way.” A former state FFA officer, Burenheide has grown her business, ABChicken, to the point of producing and processing more than 1,500 farm fresh birds. She also has developed markets for poultry by-products to improve business margins. She points to the bumps in the road as the lessons that help her learn and grow the enterprise, “we all have the choice to get up after we fall down and keep going – entrepreneurship comes from inside you!” Scheele, a junior, recognizes the importance of leadership in business - “confidence and self-assurance come from getting others excited about the opportunity.” He also is active in the Nebraska Beef Scholars program and as co-chairman of the Collegiate Cattlemen’s Association. The 2011 state FFA beef proficiency award winner, Scheele seeks opportunities where risk and pressure are part of the equation as these factors “make me drive through difficulties and in the end accomplish what I never thought I could do.” Application for next year’s award can be found at engler. unl.edu and the deadline for submission is February 15, 2015.

Time of day of harvest impact

By Glenn Selk, Oklahoma State University Extension Forage sorghums are used by cattle producers for summer grazing or harvested for hay. Forage sorghums can be very productive and high quality, but can also accumulate toxic levels of nitrate when stressed. In the past, the assumption was made that the plant continues soil nitrate uptake during nighttime hours, followed by accelerated conversion of the nitrate to protein during daylight hours. Therefore past recommendations have been to wait until afternoon to cut forage sorghum for hay if anticipated nitrate levels are marginally high. You have heard the old adage: “Never assume anything….” To evaluate the significance of the change in nitrate concentration in forage sorghums during the day, Oklahoma State University Extension County and Area Educators collected samples at two hour intervals from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Five cooperator’s fields (“farm”) were divided into quadrants. Three random samples, consisting of ten stems each, were taken from each quadrant at the specified interval. The samples were analyzed at the Oklahoma State University Soil, Water, and Forage Analytical Laboratory to determine the level of nitrates, in parts per million (ppm). As expected, differences between “farms” were substantial and significant. The mean concentration of nitrate for individual farms varied from only 412 ppm to 8935 ppm. The mean nitrate concentrations across all farms were 3857, 3768, 4962, 4140, 4560, and 4077 ppm for samples at 8 a.m, 10 a.m., noon, 2 p.m., 4 p.m., and 6 p.m., respectively. Remember, most laboratories consider nitrate concentrations at, or above 10,000 ppm potentially lethal. There was much more variation between farms than between harvest times. Time of day of harvest did not impact nitrate concentration or proportion of dangerous samples of forage sorghum hay. Don’t be misled and believe that cutting the hay late in the day will solve all of the potential dangers of nitrate toxicity.

Reducing fly numbers on pastured cattle By Dave Boxler, University of Nebraska Extension

As late spring approaches, livestock producers should evaluate and select pasture fly control options available for their specific management system. There are three fly species in Nebraska which could economically impact pastured livestock; the horn fly, face fly and stable fly. Horn flies Horn flies are about 3/16” in length and are normally found on the backs, sides, and poll areas of cattle. During the warm part of the day horn flies can be seen on the belly of cattle. The horn fly feeds on blood with both male and female flies acquiring some 20 to 30 blood meals per day. After mating the female fly will leave the animal to deposit eggs in fresh cattle manure. Eggs hatch within one week, and larvae feed and mature in the manure, pupating in the soil beneath the manure pat. Newly emerged horn flies can travel several miles searching for a host. The entire life cycle can be completed in 10 to 20 days depending on the weather. Economic losses associated with horn flies are estimated at more than $800 million annually in the United States. Horn fly feeding causes irritation, blood loss, decreased grazing efficiency, reduced weight gains and a decline in milk production. Furthermore, horn flies have been implicated in the spread of mastitis. Many studies have been conducted in the U.S. and Canada to assess the economic effects of horn flies on cow and calf weaning weights. Nebraska studies have demonstrated calf weaning weights were 10 - 20 pounds higher when horn flies were controlled on mother cows. The economic injury level (EIL) for horn flies is 200 flies per animal. Yearling cattle can also be impacted by the horn fly; other studies have indicated yearling weight can be reduced by as much as 18 percent. Horn fly control There are many chemical application methods available to reduce horn fly numbers; backrubbers, dust bags, insecticidal ear tags, pour-ons, oral larvicides, and sprays. Insecticide ear tags are a convenient method of horn fly control. Because many horn fly populations in Nebraska are resistant to pyrethroid insecticides it is important to rotate insecticide classes yearly for ear tags and seasonally for other application methods. To achieve maximum performance from insecticide ear tags, two tags per animal are required. Delaying ear tagging until June 1st will provide the greatest degree of control. Backrubbers and dust bags are an effective way to reduce horn fly numbers, if cattle are forced to use them. Sprays and pour-ons will provide 7-21 days of control and will need to be repeated throughout the fly season for effective control. Oral larvicides prevent fly larvae from developing into adults. An important factor when using an oral larvicide is insuring daily consumption. A complicating issue when using an oral larvicide is horn fly immigration from neighboring untreated herds which can mask the effectiveness of an oral larvicide. Face flies Face fly adults closely resemble house flies except they are slightly larger and darker than the house fly. The face fly is a non-biting fly that feeds on animal secretions, nectar and dung liquids. Adult female face flies typically cluster around animal’s eyes, mouth and muzzle, causing extreme annoyance. They are also facultative blood feeders; gathering around wounds caused by

mechanical damage or other injury. Face flies are present in the field throughout the summer with populations usually peaking in late July and August. Face flies are most numerous along waterways, areas with abundant rainfall, canyons where the canyon floors have trees and shaded vegetation, and on irrigated pastures. Feeding of the female face fly around the eyes causes eye tissue damage, which creates susceptible tissue for eye pathogens. In addition to annoyance, female face flies vector Moraxella bovis, the causal agent of pinkeye or infectious bovine keratoconjuctivitis. Pinkeye is a highly contagious inflammation of the cornea and conjunctiva of cattle. If coupled with the infectious bovine rhinotrachetis (IBR) virus, M. bovis can cause a much more severe inflammatory condition. Controlling face flies is a key to reducing most pinkeye problems. Face fly control Attaining adequate face fly control can be difficult because of where the flies feed and the significant time they spend away from the animal. The best methods of reducing face fly numbers is using a treatment where the animals are forced to contact an insecticide on a daily basis such as a dust bag, oiler, spray or an insecticide impregnated ear tag. Ear tags should be applied at the label recommended rate. Both cows and calves must be treated if control is to be achieved. Pinkeye vaccines are available and should be considered if face flies and pinkeye have been a recurring problem. Currently, commercial and autogenous pinkeye vaccines are available; please check with your local veterinarian about the use of these products in your area. Stable flies Stable flies are blood-feeding flies, mainly feeding on the front legs of cattle, staying on the animal long enough to complete a blood meal. Their bite is very painful; cattle will often react by stomping their legs, bunching at pasture corners, or stand in water to avoid being bitten. The female stable fly deposits eggs in spoiled or fermenting organic matter mixed with animal manure, soil and moisture. Winter hay feeding sites where hay rings are used can often be a source for larval development through the summer if the proper moisture is present. The life cycle of the stable fly can take 14-24 days in Nebraska, depending on weather conditions. Historically, stable flies have been pests of feedlots and dairies but they are also serious pests of pasture cattle. The effect of the stable flies on weight gain performance is similar to that of livestock in a confined operation. Research conducted at the University of Nebraska, West Central Research and Extension Center utilizing yearling steers, recorded a reduction in average daily gain of 0.44 lbs. per head with animals which did not receive an insecticide treatment compared to animals which received a treatment. The economic threshold of 5 flies per leg is easily exceeded in Nebraska pastures. Stable fly control Adult stable fly control on pastured cattle can be extremely difficult based on the significant amount of time the fly is away from the animal. Currently, animal sprays are the only adult management option available. Sprays can be applied with a low pressure sprayer or by a mist blower sprayer. Weekly applications will be required to achieve a reduction in fly numbers. CONTINUED ON PAGE C28

Sanitation or clean-up of wasted feed at winter feeding sites may reduce localized fly development. If sanitation is not an option

these sites may be treated with a larvicide (Neporex). However, application of either procedure may not totally reduce the economic impact of stable fly feeding.

Hedging considerations with high steer calf basis

By Darrell Mark, South Dakota State University Extension The demand for lightweight feeder calves has been especially strong this year. Not only has that driven price levels to record highs in recent months, but it has also resulted in record strong basis levels as well. The basis for 500-599 lb steer calves in South Dakota has averaged near $50/cwt since May 2014. Typically, the basis for these steers would average about $23/cwt, based on the previous three years. In fact, the strongest basis observed from 2011-13 was generally around $31/cwt, although it did increase to $40/cwt. Regardless, the current steer calf basis levels between $50/ cwt and $60/cwt are well beyond historical levels. While this offers sellers an even more attractive cash selling price, it does impact their hedging decisions. And, for buyers, it results in higher cash market prices and some risk management considerations as well. For cow-calf producers evaluating strategies to protect current price levels for their fall calf crop, the strong basis offers attractive cash price projections. But, it is important to note that several common hedging tools do not protect these strong basis levels. Hedges that exclusively involve futures and options do not protect against basis weakening. So, short futures positions and purchases of put options, while effective at hedging current high price levels, will not protect against declines in basis. While that is always somewhat of a concern when using these risk management tools, it is particularly concerning when basis levels are so strong that a return to an average basis would result in a $30/cwt drop in basis and, therefore, cash price. For cow-calf producers planning to sell their calves this fall and wanting to lock in the price level, a cash forward contract would be effective at hedging both the current high price level and basis. A cash forward contract could be initiated through a private treaty arrangement with a cattle feeder or backgrounder. Many video auctions also use a forward contract that would protect against both price and basis changes. Calf sellers that want to lock in the current strong basis but remain open to price risk (hoping for higher price levels) could use a basis contract. Here, the cow-calf producer would directly contract a specific basis level with a feedyard or other calf buyer but leave the (futures) price level unspecified. Combining such a basis contract with purchases of put options would simultaneously lock in the current high basis level and establish a floor price level in the futures market. Another possibility to gain some basis level protection might be through Livestock Risk Protection (LRP) insurance. This insurance locks in a minimum price level that is based on the CME Group’s feeder cattle cash settlement index. However, the difference between a local producer’s actual basis in South Dakota and the feeder cattle cash index would still remain unprotected. Only the price spread between the futures contract price and the cash index is hedged with LRP insurance. Research has shown this typically offers little protection from the basis between futures price levels and local cash prices because the cash index is aggregated based on cash prices from around the nation and the futures contract price level must converge to the index when the contract expires. Cattle feeders, backgrounders, and other calf buyers also need to be concerned about being protected from sudden basis changes. While the current strong basis means that they will pay higher cash prices to obtain calves, their primary basis risk is purchasing calves on a very strong basis and selling yearlings or fed cattle on a traditionally weak basis. Again, basis isn’t necessarily expected to weaken substantially, but a return to historical averages alone would result in significantly lower cash prices and a squeeze on already tight backgrounding and feeding margins. So, calf buyers who are buying calves now (or for fall delivery) using cash forward contracts or basis contracts should consider simultaneously protecting their “sell” basis – the basis of the yearlings or fed cattle they intend to sell. As discussed above, cash forward contracts or basis contract are common tools to do so. The idea behind selling the basis for the cattle to be backgrounded or fed as soon as the calves are purchased (when the basis is bought) is to protect against basis declining. Of note, though, is that the basis for yearling feeder steers is only trading $510/cwt over historical average levels. This effectively makes backgrounding and feeding margins tighter and underscores the importance of managing the risk of basis changes. ##### Stalking is when two people go for a long romantic walk together but only one of them knows about it.

Competitive Prices Fairfield, MT

By Glenn Selk, Oklahoma State University Extension Harvested forage costs are a large part of the production costs associated with cow-calf enterprises. An Oklahoma State University trial had the objective to economically evaluate stockpiled bermudagrass. The research found that this practice can reduce cow-wintering costs. Forage accumulation during the late summer and fall is variable from year to year depending on moisture, temperatures, date of first frost and fertility. The OSU research has found that 50 to 100 pounds of actual nitrogen fertilizer per acre applied in the late summer has produced 1000 – 2000 pounds of forage per acre. In some ideal situations even more forage has been produced. Studies between 1997 and 2000 found stockpiled bermudagrass protein concentrations were quite impressive, even after frost. In November, the range of protein content of the standing forage was 13.1% to 15.2% crude protein. The protein held up in December and ranged from 12.5% to 14.7% crude protein and declined to 10.9% to 11.6% crude protein in January. To make best use of the stockpiled forage, supplementation with 2 pounds per head per day of 14% to 25% protein feed beginning in early December is recommended. The following is a list of recommendations for stockpiling bermudagrass pastures for best results and reducing winter feed bills: Remove existing forage by haying, clipping, or grazing by late August. Apply 50 to 100 pounds of actual nitrogen fertilizer per acre. Defer grazing until at least late October or early November. Control access to forage by rotational or strip grazing to cut waste and extend grazing. If cool season forage is available for use in the winter, use the stockpiled bermudagrass first. Supplementation (2 pounds of 14 – 25% protein) should begin in early December. Provide free-choice mineral (6%- 9% phosphorus and Vitamin A) with a trace-mineral package. Late August will be soon be upon us. The old forage needs to be removed. Fertilizer spreading must be planned and scheduled. It is not too early to begin to plan the process of stockpiling bermudagrass for this fall and winter.

Northern Pike discovered in Lake Mary Ronan

By Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks Two northern pike were caught in Lake Mary Ronan on June 26 by an angler from Missoula who was trolling. The first fish was lost at the boat, and the second fish was caught and kept. The angler immediately took the fish to Camp Tuffit were he was staying. The camp owner called FWP Warden Ron Howell who picked up the fish and gave it to FWP fisheries biologists. Howell noted that these were the first pike to be reported from Lake Mary Ronan, and it is assumed that these fish originated from an illegal fish introduction. Known as “Bucket Biology,” illegal fish introductions have caused problems in hundreds of waters across the state, costing hundreds of thousands of dollars to rectify. In most cases, the illegal introduction cannot be undone often leading to lost fishing opportunity. In this case, northern pike are highly predacious and could impact the valuable kokanee salmon and trout fishery in Lake Mary Ronan. Kokanee in Lake Mary Ronan serve as the egg source for stocking in lakes across Montana. MCA 87-5-711 makes it illegal to introduce or transplant fish in Montana unless authorized by the Fish and Wildlife Commission. The release of any live fish into any Montana pond, lake, stream, or river without FWP authorization is strictly illegal. Penalties can range from fines of $2,000 to $10,000, loss of fishing, hunting, and trapping privileges, plus liability for the costs to eliminate or mitigate the effects of the violation. Anglers cannot move any live fish from the water in which the fish are caught. Howell asks anyone with information on who introduced pike into Lake Mary Ronan to call 1-800-TIP MONT. Callers do not need to identify themselves and may be eligible for a cash reward. Anglers are encouraged to keep any pike caught and report additional sightings of pike to FWP at (406) 752-5501.

By Julie Garden-Robinson, Food and Nutrition Specialist, NDSU Extension Service

“Is my frozen turkey still safe to eat? I think it has been frozen for two years. I also found a roast at the bottom of my freezer, and I’m not sure how long it has been there. Is that OK to eat?” my caller asked. “Let me ask you a couple of questions. Was your food solidly frozen the entire time? Did you have any power outages?” I responded. “The freezer was on all the time,” she replied. “If the food remained frozen, it is safe to eat indefinitely. However, you probably will see some quality changes that affect the flavor and texture with long storage. If you see areas that are dry or discolored, that could mean that the meat is freezer-burned. That is a quality issue, not a safety issue,” I replied. “Would you eat it?” she asked. “I probably would, but I might baste the turkey more often and add a marinade to the roast. Be sure to thaw it in the refrigerator. If it has off-odors after thawing, I probably wouldn’t eat it, though,” I added. Food storage questions are common for North Dakota State University (NDSU) Extension Service family and consumer sciences agents. No one likes to waste food because that is like throwing money in the trash. Freezing is a convenient and versatile method of preserving meat, fruits and vegetables and also making your own “convenience foods” at home, but be sure to manage your frozen food inventory. Consider posting an inventory sheet on the front or top of your freezer and noting when you add or subtract foods from the inventory. Unlike canning, which “sterilizes” food, freezing does not kill bacteria. It simply stops them from growing. Upon thawing, any bacteria that were present “wake up” and grow if the food is allowed to thaw at room temperature. Buying meat in bulk and repackaging in recipe-sized portions can stretch your budget at home. In fact, proper freezing is considered an excellent preservation method for maintaining the quality, color and nutrition of foods. Proper packing is of primary importance when freezing because exposure to air can promote flavor and color changes. Be sure to use moisture-proof wrapping paper or freezer bags. Do you know how to do the butcher wrap, drugstore wrap and the casserole wrap?

To wrap meat securely using the butcher wrap, simply place the food at one corner of the freezer wrap, then fold the food and wrap over two times in the direction of the opposite corner. Fold the ends up and push the air out as you fold. With ends tucked, continue to fold food. Finally, pull the end tight and seal with freezer tape. Label the package with the contents and date you froze it. See the “Food Freezing Guide” at http:// www.ag.ndsu.edu/pubs/yf/foods/fn403.pdf for directions and illustrations for other wrapping methods. If you decide to freeze your own casseroles and desserts, remember that foods such as celery and lettuce do not freeze well. Custards and sauces may separate during freezing. Be sure to slightly undercook pasta-based dishes such as lasagna prior to freezing to avoid mushiness. Here’s a recipe that can make three frozen meals for a family of four. Serve with rice or pasta, a side salad, fruit and milk for a balanced meal. Freezer Meal Barbecue Meatballs 2 pounds extra lean (90 percent) ground beef 2 large eggs 2 c. quick oatmeal 1 c. minced onion 1 c. milk 1 tsp. black pepper Mix and make 72 walnut-sized balls. (Note: Making them small allows the sauce to penetrate during the baking process.) Place in a single layer in a large baking pan with sides. Sauce: 3 c. ketchup 2 c. brown sugar 3 Tbsp. liquid smoke Mix sauce over low heat and pour half of mixture or less over meatballs. Bake at 350 F for one hour or until they reach an internal temperature of 160 F. Allow the meatballs to cool, then place them in freezer bags in meal-sized amounts (about six meatballs per serving). For example, to serve a family of four, place 24 meatballs in a freezer bag. Add sauce to each bag, then freeze flat. Thaw in the refrigerator, then reheat in a microwave oven, oven or sauce pan, adding a little water if necessary. Serve over rice or pasta. Makes 12 servings (six meatballs per serving). Each serving has 360 calories, 9 grams (g) of fat, 50 g of carbohydrate, 20 g of protein and 750 milligrams of sodium.

By Julie Garden-Robinson, Food and Nutrition Specialist, NDSU Extension Service I remember 10 years ago when we took our three young children on our first family trip with the entire Robinson bunch. We drove to Utah and visited several parks along the way. Looking back, we had a long drive with many “are we there yet” inquiries. “We’re getting closer,” I would say. “Do we have any snacks?” one of them would ask. “Check the cooler or the snack box,” I’d respond. With three children ages 9, 6 and 1, getting ready for a trip was a lot more work in our early family vacation days because we, as parents, had to do all the planning and packing. One-year-olds require a lot of equipment, so our vehicle was nearly full. As we spent eight or more hours a day in the confines of a minivan, we could have been fodder for a reality show. “Meet the Robinsons” and “Vacation” already have been movie titles, though. As it turned out, we weren’t quite the Griswold family of “Vacation” movie fame. We drove through wildlife parks and visited a zoo. By the end of the trip, my husband remarked that our van looked like animals lived in it, but no new pets had been picked up along the way. This year, our now-19-year-old son decided he wanted to stay home and take care of our dogs. Imagine that. I kind of expected that watching movies his 11-year-old sister wants to watch in the confines of a van is not his idea of a good time. Any time you leave the home routine, with its somewhat regular schedule and mealtimes, nutrition can be affected. With plenty of windshield time again this year, we will encounter fast food restaurants, convenience stores and hotel vending machines, with numerous food options to grab and go. While healthful food options are available, many more tempting high-fat, high-sodium or highly sweetened options will tempt us. Convenience store items can stretch a family vacation budget, too. Grocery stores have a much larger selection of food products, often at a more reasonable price. Milk might be the same price at either location, but foods, such as crackers or cookies, and paper products, such as towels and tissues, may be 1.5 to 2 times as expensive. Taking a side trip to a grocery store when our rations run low was a good plan for us and provided a chance to stretch our legs. Because we’ll be doing a bit of “dashboard dining” along the way again this year, I’m gathering snacks for my “van pantry.” I’m also trying to be conscious of the mess factors associated with eating in a vehicle. However, having older kids usually means fewer chances for some sticky upholstery and carpet. We begin with an ice-filled cooler with 100 percent fruit juice, string cheese, tubes of yogurt, a package of baby carrots, low-fat deli meat (such as ham or turkey) and other perishables. We bring a thermos filled with ice water. I pack a snack box with single-serving containers of applesauce and dried fruits, whole-grain crackers and singleserving cereal boxes. Packets of nuts and seeds are portable and nutritious snacks. Apples, bananas and grapes are other portable snacks for the road. In our earlier days, plain tortillas with peanut butter were a kid favorite in our house. I was in charge of spreading peanut butter and rolling tortillas as we cruised down the highway. Conscious of the mess factor, we always bring paper towels and moist towelettes for wiping our hands. Back in our early days, the windows and backs of seats also needed a wipe-down. In fact, packing a minivacuum would have been advised. Here’s a snack mix that’s easy to make at home or on the road. If you don’t want to measure, just mix equal-size handfuls into a sealable plastic bag and shake gently. Snack Mix 1 c. dry cereal (such as Chex or Cheerios) 1 c. peanuts 1 c. pretzel sticks 1 c. dried cranberries or raisins Mix together and place in a recloseable plastic bag or in individual bags. Makes eight servings. Each serving has 178 calories, 9.4 grams (g) of fat, 21 g of carbohydrate and 5 g of fiber. ##### You know your family members don’t get along too well when half the names in the family Bible are written in pencil.

10 trees to beat extreme summer heat

By K-State Research and Extension News Prolonged and record-setting heat has created a historical drought in many areas of the United States. This has affected different facets of the horticulture industry, but not all the effects have been negative. Jason Griffin is director of the John C. Pair Horticultural Center of Kansas State University, a K-State Research and Extension facility near Wichita, Kansas. The center works to introduce and evaluate woody landscape plant material for the region. Griffin said the seasonal drought, rapid temperature changes, scorching summer heat and perpetual drying winds make this facility an ideal location to stress test woody plants. In the past couple of years, the importance of this research was made evident. This unusual weather pattern provided an opportunity to observe the effects of heat and drought on mature, established landscape plants, said Griffin. The stress test was a real-world situation a greenhouse, growth chamber and artificially induced drought could replicate. According to the National Weather Service Office in Wichita, 2011 and 2012 recorded some of the warmest temperatures in weather history. • The 2011 summer was the hottest on record with 92 days above 90 degrees, 53 of which were above 100 degrees. This set the all-time record for number of days the temperature was at or above 100 degrees.   • The following year was no different, as 2012 became the warmest calendar on record with an average temperature of 61 degrees.   • The annual precipitation for the area also fell below average by 13 inches over the two-year period. Results from the stress testing showed that 10 specific trees stood above the rest, as they survived the extreme climate with little or no observable effects. “While I am nearly certain that somewhere across the region stricken by this drought, readers will be able to point to an incidence where each of the following (trees) has failed,” Griffin said. “However, when well-established and otherwise healthy, each of the species performed admirably and deserve consideration in areas with regular periods of extended heat and drought.”  League of Extraordinary Trees   1. Pistacia chinensis (Chinese pistache) With a USDA Hardiness Zone 6, this is a widely used landscape tree in Phoenix that thrives in the continental climate of the southern Great Plains where rapid temperature shifts are common. Fall color can range from none, to yellow, to orange, to brilliant red and some with hues of purple. This tree can be invasive. In the southern plains from Kansas through Texas, Chinese pistache can be found invading fencerows, abandoned fields and empty urban lots. Fortunately, the species is dioecious (can be male or female), which makes selecting seedless trees rather simple. Male trees with brilliant red fall color and a growth habit that lends itself to nursery production would be desirable. 2. Acer saccharum (Caddo sugar maple) Originating from a disjunct sugar maple population in western Oklahoma, the Caddo sugar maple’s genes make it one of the toughest shade trees in heat and drought prone areas and grow well in soils with a pH of up to 8. During drought conditions when other sugar maple cultivars were scorched and dying, the Caddo sugar maple was able to push a mid-summer flush of growth. Plants have performed well as far north as Ames, Iowa, and as far south as Dallas. The beautiful and abundant cultivars of sugar maple already on the market are plenty drought tolerant for most locations, but this particular cultivar is only available in a niche market. Regional market opportunities for growers in consistently drought prone areas to add Caddo sugar maple to their offering. 3. Acer truncatum (Shantung maple) This maple has no observed pest problems, a purple flush of spring growth, gorgeous fall color and is drought tolerant. It has dependable cold hardiness and reliable fall color. The size is appropriate for suburban lots and the trees are not messy. Vigorous growth going into fall can be damaged by an early freeze in more mild climates, where the plants produce a late summer flush of growth and fail to properly harden off. 4. Chionanthus retusus (Chinese fringetree) Widely recognized for its incredible bloom and excellent bark characteristics, this tree’s leaves remained dark emerald green throughout the growing season despite the dry, hot CONTINUED ON PAGE C40

conditions. One local nurseryman commented that in the middle of the drought, this was the only plant in his fields still pushing new growth. Be aware that clonal propagation can be frustrating, but it can be done. 5. Heptacodium miconioides (seven-son flower) The bark of this tree is eye-catching; its flowers light up the landscape the first week of September in Wichita and are visited by more species of pollinators than can be counted. The sepals keep the show going for two to three more weeks when they change to a rosy pink. Its dark emerald-green leaves persisted through exceptional drought completely unscathed. However, the gene pool is relatively small, which limits the potential for cultivar selection. 6. Quercus shumardii (shumard oak) This widely adapted species is native to moist bottomlands, yet handles drought extremely well. A fibrous root system makes transplanting fairly successful. Fall color can be outstanding, ranging from burnt orange to red. 7. Quercus muehlenbergii (chinkapin oak) Often found growing on elevated limestone outcroppings, this species is right at home in well-drained, high-pH soil. Chinkapin oak is a large tree with attractive bark, clean green leaves and acorns that are highly prized by all forms of wildlife. Transplanting is tricky. Careful attention should be taken to ensure a well-branched, fibrous root system. 8. Ulmus americana (American elm) The American elm’s adaptability has made it a very common landscape and urban shade tree, and now new cultivars with disease resistance are making it even more popular. The species transplants well, establishes quickly and grows rapidly even during the drought. 9. Maclura pomifera (Osage orange) As a windbreak and living fence, this species has no competition, especially not with the availability of improved cultivars. Attractive bark and clean green foliage, combined with impressive stress tolerance, makes it a good shade and urban tree. Its thorns and fruit are undesirable, but several cultivars exist that are thornless and fruitless (male). Availability of the thornless and fruitless cultivars becomes an issue because the market for Osage orange is limited. 10. Cupressus arizonica (Arizona cypress) This species will easily handle the heat and drought of the southern Great Plains and regions routinely plagued by extended high summer temperatures and drought. Hardiness will limit the use of this species in colder regions. New cultivars with blue foliage, improved cold hardiness, pyramidal growth and that root well from stem cuttings would be desirable.

Nebraska fed cattle basis has dropped over $3/cwt since its yearly high (and near record high) earlier in May.

Be aware of food safety in restaurants and at home

By Julie Garden-Robinson, Food and Nutrition Specialist, NDSU Extension Service “Have you tried any new restaurants lately?” a friend at work frequently asks. Usually I have an experience to share because my family enjoys eating out about once a week. “Have you gotten sick from the food?” he adds with a grin. I think he remembers the time that all but one family member became ill after eating some lukewarm food we picked up at a drive-through restaurant. The one who skipped eating didn’t get sick. I certainly remember it well. Those of us who ate the same food became sick with flulike symptoms shortly after eating. I noticed the food wasn’t particularly hot, so I guess I bear some responsibility. We should have turned our vehicle around and returned to the restaurant for fresh, hot food. For greater effect, I could have stomped into the restaurant to talk to the manager, but I was wearing rubber-soled shoes. Stomping isn’t usually my mode of operation, either. If I had waited an hour, I could have brought in further evidence: a sick child who had been perfectly fine until eating. Instead, I called the Health Department a couple of days later, after we had recovered, to report the issue. Unfortunately, we had eaten all the evidence, so no testing could be done. Technically, we were part of an “outbreak” because at least two people were sickened from a common food. By the way, my guess for the cause of our illness would be the “cafeteria bacteria” (Clostridium perfringens). It is associated with food, such as cooked meats, stews, gravies and beans, held warm on a steam table. The symptoms of this foodborne illness resemble those of the “24-hour flu.” Temperature abuse also can happen at home if you leave perishable food on the serving table or in a pot on the stove without adequate heat. Be sure to keep hot foods hot and cold foods cold. The Center for Science in the Public Interest recently studied “solved” foodborne illness outbreaks in the U.S. The center reported 28,000 people were sickened in 1,610 restaurant-related outbreaks during a 10-year period, compared with 13,000 people sickened in 893 outbreaks at home. In other words, based on their report, people were twice as likely to get sick in restaurants as at home, based on the available data. I would have a question, though: How many people get sick at home or at their cousin’s, grandma’s or uncle’s home and do not call to report it to the authorities? We will never know. Other food safety experts report that home-related foodborne illness outbreaks often are not reported. Being ill is never a fun experience, whether the food was something we or someone else cooked. We all can do some things to reduce our risk of getting sick. As we ease into the spring and summer seasons of enjoying warmer temperatures, remember these four tips to safe food handling from the Fight BAC campaign. • Keep clean. Wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds before and after handling food and doing anything that might contaminate your hands. • Separate, don’t cross-contaminate. Separate raw meat, poultry, seafood and eggs from ready-to-eat foods in your refrigerator and in the grocery cart when you buy the food. Use one cutting board for fresh produce and a separate one for raw meat, poultry and seafood. • Cook foods to the proper temperature. Use a food thermometer to measure the internal temperature. For example, cook poultry to an internal temperature of at least 165 F and ground beef to at least 160 F. Remember that meat and poultry cooked on a grill often browns very fast on the outside, so be sure the meat is cooked thoroughly. • Chill foods promptly. Never let raw meat, poultry, eggs, cooked food or cut fresh fruits or vegetables sit at room temperature more than two hours before putting them in the refrigerator or freezer (one hour when the temperature is above 90 F).

1 tsp. chili powder (optional or to taste) 8 (10-inch) flour tortillas* 1/2 c. salsa (or more) 1/2 c. cheese, shredded (*) To add fiber, consider using brown rice and/or wholewheat tortillas. Preheat the oven to 300 F. Peel the onion and chop it into small pieces. Drain the liquid from the beans and rinse them in a colander. Mix the rice, onion, beans and chili powder in a bowl. Put the tortilla on a flat surface and add 1/2 cup of the rice and bean mixture. Fold the side to hold the rice and beans. Place each filled tortilla, seam-side down, in a large baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes or until heated through. Pour the salsa over the baked burritos and top with cheese. Makes eight servings.

Feeding horses CONTINUED FROM PAGE C36

horses. Grasses used as hay include brome, orchard, and timothy or grasses native to many areas of the country. Long stem hay is the traditional baled hay. It is cut and cured, then and baled or crimped. It can be bundled in 35-80 lb. square bales or large, round, or long square bales that can weigh up to a ton or more. Hay cubes are about an inch wide and 1-3 inches long. Hay pellets are ground hay compressed into 1/8 inch by 1/2 inch pellets. Chopped hay, common in the Midwest, is cut 3-4 inches long. Horses can eat it faster and consume more feed in a shorter period of time. Chopped hay is not usually fed to horses unless they have poor teeth or other health problems. • Good hay quality is important to horses. It should be bright green, leafy, and fine textured with a fresh and pleasant aroma. Musty, moldy, or dusty hay with weeds and other foreign material can be unhealthy for the horse. Color is an indicator of quality and nutrient content; good hay is a bright green. • Most nutrients in hay are in the leaves, and leafy hay is a valuable source of nutrients. Leafiness is influenced by the kind of hay, its maturity when cut, the weather conditions while growing and curing the hay, and curing procedures of the hay. Dust is objectionable in any feed for horses. It not only reduces the taste of the hay, it also aggravates respiratory problems. Sprinkling or dunking dusty hay in water can reduce dust. Avoid feeding moldy or dusty hay. • Good pasture grass can be an economical food source for horses, but pasture must be maintained properly. Horses can overgraze pastures, killing the grasses. Wellmanaged pastures reduce feed costs and provide energy, protein, vitamins, and minerals. An exercise lot with a few blades of grass is not a pasture; such a lot, or overgrazed pasture, is not a sufficient source of nutrients and can be a serious source of internal parasites. When a grass stand becomes too thin, overgrown, coarse, or unappetizing to a horse, it should be clipped or mowed. Lush pasture forages can act as a laxative in early spring and may cause founder. Introduce horses gradually to pastures by slowly increasing their daily grazing time. Concentrates • Small grains, such as corn, oats, and barley, are known as concentrates. Concentrates are lower in fiber and higher in energy than roughages. The grain should be clean, mold and insect-free, with a bright color. Grain quality is just as important as hay quality. Grain may be cracked, steamed or rolled but, if ground too finely, may cause respiratory problems or colic. • Oats are the safest and easiest grain to feed with hay because they’re higher in fiber, lower in energy, and higher in protein than corn. • Corn has the highest energy content of any grain and can put weight on a horse quickly. Dry corn can be fed as cracked, rolled, shelled, or still on the ear. Barley is an intermediate source of energy and protein content. All grains are low in calcium but high in phosphorus. Supplements

• Protein and vitamin-mineral supplements are added to the diet to increase the concentration of these nutrients. Grains are often energy supplements to a high forage diet. Only add supplements to the diet if some additional nutrients are needed or are missing from the ration. Some protein supplements are oilseed meals, soybean, cottonseed, or linseed (flaxseed) meal, peanut meal, sunflower seed meal, and rapeseed (canola). • Vitamin and mineral supplements should only be added to the diet if the ration is deficient in these nutrients. Generally, the major minerals of concern in feeding horses are calcium, phosphorus, and salt. In some geographical areas, lack of selenium and, for growing horses, copper and zinc, is a concern. Other minerals are likely to be present in adequate amounts in a normal diet with high quality forages. • Commercial grain mixes or complete feeds are cereal grains with supplements added to increase the specific nutrient content of the mix. A complete feed is a grain mix that is high in fiber because it contains forage or high-fiber byproducts feed such as hulls. Complete feeds are held together, usually by extrusion (puffed up like dog food) or by forming the feed into pellets. If you are feeding a commercial complete feed, you may not need to feed hay. Follow the label for feeding recommendations. • There are also feeds for specific classes of horses. Some feeds are specially formulated for young, growing horses (weanlings and yearlings) and for geriatric (aged) horses that are very old or other horses that have specific nutritional needs. Some commercial feed companies make premixed, convenient, easy-to-use formulated feeds for horses that are on different hay diets such as grass or alfalfa. You should not need to add any other supplements to the diet. These feeds may be more expensive than developing your own ration, but they are good for the owner who does not want to spend time to research their horse’s diet. • The nutrient requirements of a horse vary with its age, weight, use, and the amount of work it performs. High quality hay is usually sufficient feed for a mature horse that is ridden very little. With an increase in work, grain should be added to the diet. When balancing or evaluating a ration, use the National Research Council tables (http://nrc88.nas.edu/nrh/) as a guideline to determine available nutrients to meet your horse’s requirements. • Metabolic disorders such as laminitis, osteochondrosis, and epiphysitis may result from an imbalance in nutrients. Many disorders can be avoided by providing the horse with a balanced ration. Conclusion Remember, each horse has to be fed as an individual. Feed an amount that is adequate to maintain a body condition similar to that of an athlete. The National Research Council requirements are suggested values. Individual horses may require adjustments to these nutrients. Constantly assess the body condition of your horse.

Young calves, summer heat, and water consumption

By Karla H. Jenkins, UNL Cow/Calf, Range Management Specialist Many producers have found calving in late spring or summer allows them to match their feed resources to the cow’s nutrient requirements better than spring calving. Producers who choose to calve at this time need to also consider the water requirements of young calves during the heat of summer. Very little research has been conducted on the water requirements of nursing beef calves. However, data collected by Dr. Jim Quigley at the APC Calf Research Unit in Ames, Iowa on bottle fed dairy calves can largely be applied to nursing calves in the beef sector. In his studies, calves were 3-5 days old at trial initiation and about 60 days of age at termination. While several factors can impact the amount of water calves will consume, three main factors emerged as having the most impact. The amount of milk the calf consumes, the dry matter intake of feed the calf consumes, and mean daily high temperature were the factors having the largest impact on free choice water consumption. While it is difficult to know exactly how much milk a nursing beef calf is consuming, it is fair to say the amount of milk they get will impact their need for free choice water. Dr. Quigley’s research group determined calves fed 2.2 lb/ day of calf starter and no milk replacer at 70°F consumed 1 gallon of free choice water daily. However, when the calves were fed 0.8 gal/day of milk replacer in addition to the starter feed at the same temperature, free choice water consumption dropped to 0.66 gal/day. It is interesting to note that even though milk replacer was fed at almost a gallon, water consumption only dropped by about 1/3. Dry matter intake is critical for the development of rumen function. Beef calves in a grazing situation can be seen nibbling at grass by 3-5 days of age. It is important to understand that due to closure of the esophageal groove during nursing; almost all milk will bypass the rumen and go straight to the abomasum. Drinking water will enter the rumen and promote digestion of solid feed in the rumen. Water intake and dry matter intake are highly correlated. Beef calves, which start feed consumption early, will gain weight quickly and tend to thrive. The Iowa dairy researchers found that dry matter intake explained more than 60% of the variation in free choice water intake. Allowing beef calves access to plenty of fresh water will improve dry matter intake, rumen development, and average daily gain. Temperature plays a very critical role in water intake in the young calf. This is especially true at high environmental temperatures as the relationship between temperature and water intake is exponential rather than linear. Dr. Quigley’s dairy calf research indicated that when calves were fed 2.2 lb/day dry matter at 32°F they consumed 0.37 gal/day of free choice water. If the temperature was increased to 59°F the calves consumed 0.53 gal/day and if the temperature was increased to 86° then water intake increased to 0.79 gal/ day. These are still fairly mild temperatures. Young calves experiencing 90-100°F days would certainly need access to plenty of water. Calves born in the confinement cow study conducted by the University of Nebraska are born in July. At one day of age these calves exhibit the need for free choice water if the high temperature is above 90°F. Whether cows are confined or not, producers need to make sure calves can reach the water source and that the source adequately refills after cows drink to quickly make water available for the calves. Producers should supply 2-2.5 inches of linear drinking space per cow/calf pair to supply 16 minutes of drinking time every 4 hours. It may be necessary, in really hot conditions, to place tubs of water out of reach of the cows, but accessible to calves to prevent dehydration. Calves losing over 14% body water will most likely die. Therefore, adequate water is critically important. Beef cattle producers should pay careful attention to ensure water is accessible to young calves, particularly in the summer heat. Providing adequate water will increase calf health, encourage dry matter intake, and improve average daily gains.

Apple scab

By Jim Stordahl, Clearwater/Polk County Extension Service, Minnesota Apple scab is the most common aesthetically harmful disease. The disease is caused by a fungus called Venturia inaequalis and can cause severe defoliation of an apple tree. Continuous defoliation of the tree over time will cause a tree to lose its strength, growth, and yield. Poor ripening and blemishes of the fruit are also negative effects from the disease. This fungus has the ability to cause apple scab in crabapples, apples, mountain ash, pear, and Cotoneaster. A distinctive characteristic of this fungus is that it is made of numerous host specific strains. These strains can cause scab on one plant genus but not on another plant genus. For example, the strain of V. inaequalis that infects mountain ash will only infect nearby mountain ash trees and cannot infect crabapple trees. But, the fungal strain that either infect crabapple or apple can infect both apple or crabapple trees because these trees are in the same genus. Symptoms: When the new leaves appear on the tree you will see lesions on the bottom of the leaf. When the leaf matures apple scab spots will appear as brown, olive green, or tan. If the tree is very susceptible it will cause the leaves to turn yellow and fall. This will cause the tree to lose its vigor for the following years. More symptoms include: • Velvety, semi-round olive-green spots on leaves up to a half inch across, with feathery borders. • With age, spots turn dark brown to black, enlarge and grow together along leaf veins. • Infection on newly-forming leaves causes curling and distortion. • Severely affected leaves yellow and drop by midsummer. • Infected fruit have olive-green spots that turn brown and corky with time. • Severely infected fruit may be malformed and cracked. Management: The most successful management is choosing cultivars that are resistant to apple scab. There are many cultivars that are resistant, some being: Akane, Freedom, Goldrush, Jonafree, Liberty, Coralburst®, and Red Jewel™. Also, plant your trees spaciously so they have room to grow, good air flow, and no overcrowding. Some cultural control methods are raking all fallen leaves, fertilizing, and pruning. Raking all the fallen leaves will control the spread of the fungus by eliminating locations where the fungus can overwinter and then re-infect the tree the following year. Fallen leaves can also be chopped up by a mulching lawnmower. After mulching the leaves you can fertilize in the fall to encourage breakdown of the leaves even further. Adding urea will also help by encouraging leave decomposition. It is important to prune your trees so that there is plenty of airflow through the canopy. Good air flow decreases chances of your tree getting apple scab or any other diseases by drying the leaves quicker. It is also a good idea to remove suckers from the base of the tree or the trunk so the tree has better air movement and sun penetration. If you decide to use fungicides, be sure to use them in the very early spring at the first sight of leaf buds. Sprays can be repeated throughout the growing season until pedal drop for crabapples. There is no need to use fungicides if the tree is healthy and free of leaf spots. When using a fungicide, the name of the plant MUST BE listed on the fungicide bottle in order for treatment. Read all labels carefully and only apply as stated on the container. Be sure to read and follow all directions on the label. A list of fungicide trade names are: Spectracide Immunox, Bonide Captan, Bonide Mancozeb, Safer Brand Garden Fungicide, and Bonide liquid Copper.

Vaccination of foals

By Danielle Busselman under the direction and review of Dr. Rebecca Bott, SDSU Assistant Professor & Equine Specialist Determining the optimum time to vaccinate Vaccinations are an essential part of maintaining a healthy horse. Vaccinations add to the costs of caring for the animal, but can be considered a long-term investment in horse health. Giving a horse a head start with vaccinations will ease stress if the disease is ever contracted. We should be mindful of our animal’s state of health, and just like people need boosters for vaccinations received, horses need boosters too. Consulting a veterinarian about vaccination schedules is a good starting point. At birth foals receive antibodies from the mare through the colostrum, or first milk. However, later in life it becomes very important that the foal is aided in health by means of vaccinations. This is the second step in preparing the young animal for a healthy life. It should also be noted that the timeline for vaccinations in a foal will depend on whether or not their mare was current on vaccinations. The recommendations discussed next apply to those foals born to mares with known vaccinations. Foals born to unvaccinated mares or mares with an unknown vaccination history will need to be vaccinated on a more aggressive timetable. In any case, consult a veterinarian for more information on vaccination procedures. Working with your veterinarian in establishing a vaccination schedule will help ensure proper application and will aid in promoting better health. The American Association of Equine Practitioners (AAEP) provides guidelines for foal vaccinations. Several core based vaccinations that should be considered in a foal’s health plan include Tetanus, Eastern/Western Equine Encephalomyelitis, and West Nile. All of these require administration in three doses. The first is given at 4 to 6 months of age with the second dose given 4-6 weeks after the first, and the third and last booster administered at 10-12 months of age. The one core vaccination that is given in two doses is Rabies. The first dose should be given at 6 months of age with the second dose 6 weeks after the first. The American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) defines core vaccinations as those “that protect from diseases that are endemic to a region, those with potential public health significance, required by law, virulent/highly infectious, and/ or those posing a risk of severe disease.” Along with core based vaccinations, risk based vaccinations aid in maintaining a healthy horse. These vaccinations vary with individuals, populations, and different geographical regions. Diseases that are listed in this category include Anthrax, Botulism, Equine Herpes virus, Equine Viral Arteritis, Equine Influenza, Potomac Horse Fever, and Strangles. Consulting with a veterinarian for recommendations will aid in establishing a productive vaccination schedule. As owners it is our responsibility to ensure the promotion of positive health for our horses. Vaccinating against diseases circulating within the industry benefits not only our personal animals, but aids in the health of those owned by our peers. Administering vaccinations to foals is just the first step in preparing a healthy lifestyle. This practice should remain a part of management throughout a horse’s life. For information regarding adult horses refer back to Dr. Rebecca Bott’s article Vaccination of Horses (http://igrow.org/livestock/horse/ vaccination-of-horses/).

“Heart” Redwood Premium Decking

Wyoming ranch uses risk scenario planning tool – Part III By James Sedman, consultant to the Department of Agricultural and Applied Economics in the University of Wyoming College of Agriculture and Natural Resources, and John Hewlett, farm and ranch management specialist in the department

We examined in past installments example Wyoming ranch managers and their production question whether or not to summer their crop of heifer calves and sell them as bred heifers or continue to sell them as calves. The Risk Scenario Planning (RSP) tool helped them account for the two main price variables: the bred heifer price and the price of hay. RSP results demonstrated the probability of success (and profitability) was too low to recommend the strategy. The RSP tool can help analyze other important production decisions, such as: input benefit-cost analysis; crop insurance; or, as in this case, the decision to use Livestock Risk Protection (LRP) insurance for feeder cattle. Visit RightRisk.org for a detailed description of the LRP feeder cattle policy. Partial Budget Analysis Constructing a partial budget for this decision is straightforward. We include in the added returns column the value of 500 cwt of feeder cattle at an expected sale price

of $150.99/cwt. The LRP index price for the time period is $160.99, a premium to cash price, therefore making a positive difference (basis) of $10/ cwt. The coverage price is 98.68 percent of the index price or $160.47/cwt. The insurance premium goes on the added costs side of the budget at $3.68/cwt or $1,840 total. These figures are shown in the budget below. Accounting for Variability The question now becomes whether or not this insurance purchase is a sound decision. The two main sources of variability in the analysis are the LRP index price and the basis value at the end of the contract period. We will assume the most likely value for the price index will be $160.99/cwt, with a maximum value of $170/cwt and minimum of $140/cwt. The basis is set at $10/cwt for the most likely scenario, $5/cwt for the minimum, and $20/cwt for the maximum. The RSP tool generates a probability graph based on this information as shown below. Open Saturdays 8:30 AM to 1:00 PM Given the assumed prices, there would be a maximum possible net benefit of $78,828 and a minimum possible net benefit of $69,787.

Pelting weeds with particles instead of herbicides

By Jan Suszkiw, Agricultural Research Service It takes real grit to control tenacious weeds. Although determination is an important attribute in farmers, U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) agronomist Frank Forcella is counting on grit of another kind in his approach to battling weeds. In collaboration with university researchers, Forcella has devised a tractor-mounted system that uses compressed air to shred small annual weeds like common lambsquarters with high-speed particles of grit made from dried corn cobs. Ongoing field trials may confirm the system’s potential to help organic growers tackle within-row infestations of weeds that have sprouted around the bases of corn, soybean and other row crops. Current organic weed control methods include scorching, soil tillage and hand-pulling, among others. Still, weeds remain a chief agronomic concern requiring new approaches, according to Forcella, with the Agricultural Research Service (ARS) North Central Soil Conservation Research Laboratory in Morris, Minnesota. ARS is USDA’s principal intramural scientific research agency. Dubbed “Propelled Abrasive Grit Management” (PAGMan), the weed control system Forcella is testing disperses 0.5-millimeter-sized grit particles in a cone-shaped pattern at the rate of about 300 pounds per acre using 100 pounds per square inch of compressed air. This summer will mark a second round of field trials of PAGMan on multiple rows of silage corn grown on 10-acre plots of certified organic land in Minnesota. Field trial results from 2013 showed season-long weed control levels of 80 to 90 percent in corn using two treatments of the abrasive grit-one at the first leaf stage, and the second at the three- or five-leaf stage of corn growth. Corn yields also compared favorably to those in hand-weeded plots used for comparison. The crop plants escape harm because they’re taller than the weeds during treatment and their apical stems (growing points) are protected beneath the soil by thick plant parts. Results from small-plot studies have been published in Weed Technology and other journals.

NILE awards youth scholarships

Since 1990 the NILE and NILE Foundation have awarded over $470,000 in scholarships to deserving youth active in 4-H, FFA, and their communities who excelled in the classroom, all while participating in NILE events. This year the NILE Foundation has increased the dollar amount and number of scholarships to reward 16 high school and college-aged students for their outstanding achievements. Similar to 2013, scholarships were awarded on three levels: First is a one-time scholarship awarded to graduating high school seniors that will be continuing their education at a college or vocational school. The second level of scholarships offered is also a one-time grant, for students already enrolled in College or a Vo-Tech school. The third level, which offers the largest scholarshiped amount, is a rolling scholarship. The rolling scholarships will be offered to a select group of High School Seniors who will have the opportunity to renew the scholarship annually, up to four years of their secondary education. Recipients for the 2014 rolling scholarships were chosen from the pool of applicants that are current seniors in High School. “This year’s scholarship applicants are excellent kids,” says Marlene Amen, scholarship committee chairman. “There were so many deserving youth and not enough funds to award them all with a scholarship.” Six one-time scholarships have been awarded to the following seniors in high school in the amount of $500: Sydney Greenslade of Lima, Montana. Greenslade is the daughter of Dan and Corrinna Greenslade and will graduate from Lima High School. This fall she will attend Washington State University in Pullman, Washington as she studies Pre-veterinary Medicine. Jessica Hafer of Emigrant, Montana. Hafer plans to attend Washington State University in Pullman, Washington to become a veterinarian following graduation from Gardiner High School. She is the daughter of Richard and Wendy Hafer. Celeste Hagen of Sheridan, Montana. Hagen is the daughter of Andrew and Brigitte Hagen and will soon graduate from Sheridan High School. Upon graduation, she plans to attend San Diego City College in San Diego, California to become a registered nurse. Sadie Reddick of Belgrade, Montana. Reddick is a soon-to-be graduate of Belgrade High School. The daughter of Dan and Veloy Reddick, she plans to study Pre-veterinary Science at Oklahoma State University in Stillwater, Oklahoma. Wayne Stevenson of Hobson, Montana. A senior at Hobson High School, Stevenson is the son of Clint and Adana Stevenson. He will attend Biola University in La Mirada, California in pursuit of a Broadcast Journalism degree. Brooke Vincent of Hobson, Montana. Vincent is a soon-to-be graduate of Hobson High School. She is the daughter of Bryan and Kim Vincent. Her plans for her secondary education include attending Northwest College in Powell, Wyoming to study Ag Business and Photographic Communications. Three high school seniors have been awarded rolling scholarships in the amount of $1,000 annually. They are: Rachael Buzanowski of Pompeys Pillar, Montana. A soon-to-be graduate of Huntley Project High School, Buzanowski is the daughter of Bernie and Stacie Buzanowski. She plans to attend Butler Community College in El Dorado, Kansas to study Animal Science. Jaclyn Ketchum of Plevna, Montana.

A senior at Carter County High School, Ketchum is the daughter of Bruce and Tena Ketchum. She plans to attend Montana State University in Bozeman, Montana to double major in Animal Science and Agriculture Education. Amanda Williams of Miles City, Montana. Williams will graduate this spring from Custer County District High School. The daughter of Kent and Christine Williams, she will attend Montana State University in Bozeman, Montana. Her proposed major is Animal Science-Range Management. Students selected as rolling scholarship recipients remain in good standing by maintaining a 3.0 cumulative GPA as a full-time student who is involved in NILE and college organizations and activities. The following students have met these requirements and will be rewarded with their second installment of rolling scholarship in the amount of $1,000. Bobby Dorvall is completing her freshman year of college at Northwest College in Powell, Wyoming. She is the daughter of Link and Holly Dorvall of Fromberg, Montana. Pursuing an Agricultural Business degree, Dorvall plans to work in animal genetics or nutrition after college. Kensey Mikklesen is currently attending Montana State University Bozeman, Montana. She is majoring in Exercise Science with a minor in Animal Science with plans to practice as a rural physical therapist and raise registered Black Angus Cattle after completing her higher education. Mikkelsen’s parents are Rod and Traci Mikkelsen of Hobson, Montana. New this year, are the Joe Fouts Memorial 4-H and FFA Scholarships. These $500 one-time scholarships are awarded to youth active in 4-H and FFA programs with one scholarship being awarded to a 4-H member and one scholarship being awarded to an FFA member. Joe Fouts was an active 4-H and FFA member and his passion for both organizations was passed to his children who also participated in 4-H and FFA. But this passion didn’t stop with his organizational involvement, it continued as Fouts worked with 4-H and FFA youth through his many years at Western Ranch Supply. “This year’s recipients are kids Joe would have liked, as they are very helpful to all other kids, are accommodating, knowledgeable of their animals and products, and good allaround youth,” said Amen. “He would be proud to award these youth scholarships as they come from second and third generation 4-H and FFA families.” Bailey Corcoran, daughter of James and Bernice Corcoran, was selected as the recipient of the Joe Fouts Memorial 4-H scholarship. A senior at Skyview High School, Corcoran currently resides in Billings, Montana and plans to study Elementary Education at MSU-Billings. Seth Kraft, son of Brad and Lori Kraft was selected as the recipient of the Joe Fouts Memorial FFA Scholarship. A soonto-be graduate of Laurel High School, Kraft currently calls Billings, Montana home. He plans to study Ag Business at Montana State University in Bozeman, Montana. The following students are pursuing degrees in higher education and each has been awarded a $500 scholarship. Riley Dalke is attending Montana State University in Bozeman, Montana as he pursues a Chemical Biological Engineering degree. Dalke plans to become a Chemical Engineer after college. He is the son of Lenny and Bambi Dalke, who reside in Worden, Montana. Dan Johnson is studying Agriculture continued on page c54

Cattle numbers are tight across North America

By Derrell S. Peel, Oklahoma State University Extension Livestock Marketing Specialist Beef Cattle, Pasture Record high feeder cattle prices leave no doubt that U.S. feeder cattle supplies are extremely tight. On January 1, estimated feeder supplies were down 2.7 percent over the previous year amid indications of heifer retention. There are indications that heifer retention has accelerated in 2014. USDA will release the July Cattle report in about a month which will provide a mid-year estimate of feeder supplies, though no year over year comparisons will be possible since the report was cancelled last year. U.S. feeder supplies will likely be down again with a 2014 U.S. calf crop fractionally smaller than last year and increased heifer retention further squeezing feeder supplies. However, the market attempts to compensate for declining supplies with high prices prompting adjustments wherever possible. U.S. veal slaughter continues to decrease, accelerating a long term trend in recent years. Veal slaughter so far in 2014 is down 15 percent year over year, a pace that would result in annual slaughter that is down 21 percent from the previous ten year average. High U.S. feeder prices also stimulate increased imports of feeder cattle from Canada and Mexico. Cattle imports from Canada through April were up nearly 12 percent year over year. The imports reflect a changing mix of slaughter and feeder cattle with slaughter cattle down 3 percent and feeder cattle imports up 36 percent. This follows a 28 percent annual increase in Canadian cattle imports in 2013, consisting of 5 percent more slaughter cattle and a 113 percent increase in feeder cattle imports. Changes in the mix of slaughter and feeder cattle imports from Canada partly reflect the impacts of the latest country of origin label (COOL) rules implemented in May, 2013 and partly the strong U.S. demand for feeder cattle. Despite the flexibility to shift between feeder cattle and slaughter cattle, there is a limit to total cattle imports from Canada. The Canadian beef cow herd is the smallest in 20 years and expected herd rebuilding there will limit feeder supplies in coming years. Reliable cattle inventory data is much harder to find in Mexico but there are strong indications that total cattle numbers have decreased significantly in the past few years including a sharp drop in the cow herd inventory. Drought forced liquidation in 2011 and 2012 resulted in unsustainably large Mexican cattle exports to the U.S. Not surprisingly, U.S imports of Mexican cattle dropped by a third in 2013 compared to 2012. The extremely strong pull of record U.S. feeder prices in 2014 has kept year to date imports close to year ago levels. The monthly import total through April was down about two percent year over year but the preliminary weekly data for May and June suggests that year to date Mexican cattle imports are about five percent higher than last year. Decreased Mexican cattle inventories combined with growing domestic feeder cattle demand in Mexico due to the rapid expansion of feedlot production in the country suggests that current levels of Mexican cattle exports cannot be sustained in the short run and may be permanently reduced in coming years. In 2011 and 2012, lack of heifer retention due to drought, reduced veal slaughter and increased feeder cattle imports all contributed to temporarily maintaining U.S feeder cattle supplies. Starting in late 2013 and accelerating in 2014, the reality of a still smaller calf crop, increased heifer retention and limited cattle supplies in Canada and Mexico underpin current market prices. Veal slaughter will likely drop a bit more but can only go so low; and the year to date eight percent increase in feeder cattle imports from Canada and Mexico is unlikely to be sustained in the second half of the year. Even the allure of record high cattle prices can only do so much when the cattle simply aren’t there. Mexican cattle numbers are extremely tight and I expect U.S. imports of Mexican cattle to moderate in the second half of the year. Canadian feeder supplies will tighten as well though the timing is less certain. Combined cattle inventories in North America are at the lowest level in decades and with herd rebuilding indicated in the U.S., Canada and Mexico, North American feeder cattle supplies will get tighter at least through 2016. ##### What’s the best part of living in a mobile home?

By University of Wyoming Extension A new bulletin from the University of Wyoming Extension addresses using native plants and adapted seed sources to help reclaim severely disturbed lands. Native plants represent key resources for restoration of ecosystem functions and wildland health, state authors assistant professor and extension restoration ecologist Kristina Hufford and Rachel Mealor, extension range specialist, both in the Department of Ecosystem Science and Management. “Successful Restoration of Severely Disturbed Lands: Native Plants and Adapted Seeds for Reclamation,” B-1256, includes resources for the selection of native plant species and appropriate seed sources for revegetation of degraded lands in the state and region. “This bulletin addresses questions we’ve received during workshops about the selection of native plant species and the use of different seed sources in land reclamation and restoration,” said Hufford, who also participates in the School of Energy Resources. The bulletin is available for free download by going to http://www.uwyo.edu/ces and clicking Publications in the left-hand column, then typing B-1256 in the search field.

Wireworms affected by entomopathogenic fungi

Pathogenic fungi kill wireworms where they feed

By Gadi V.P. Reddy and Brian Thompson, Montana State University, Western Triangle Ag Research Center The management of insect pests on our agricultural crops relies heavily on the use of chemical insecticides. However, due to the environmental and economic concerns arising from heavy and repeated use of insecticides (i.e. insecticide resistance and non-target effects on pollinators and natural enemies) the desirability of more environmentally sustainable practices in pest management are increasing. Under these circumstances, the development of sustainable biorational insecticides (biopesticides) like soil dwelling fungi pathogenic to insects have attracted considerable attention. Many pest insects have a soil dwelling stage in their life-cycle. For some it is a short stint, while for others the majority of the life-cycle is spent below the surface. Soil dwelling insects present a particular problem for growers as their ‘concealed’ habit protects them from exposure to topical insecticides. The family of beetles known as ‘Click’ beetles are one such species that spends the majority of its life below ground. Unfortunately, some herbivorous members of this diverse family of beetles are emerging as a major pests of wheat and barley. Immature Click beetles are better known as wireworms for their “wire-like” cylindrical hardened bodies. The armored appearance of wireworms belies the battleground of interactions between predators, pathogens and prey in the soil. Fungal pathogens are promising control agents for wireworms. Spores of these pathogenic fungi persist in the soil. Upon touching the cuticle of a passing insect the spores stick and are carried along with the insect. Spores stuck to insect cuticle proceed to grow and enter the body of the insect by dissolving a hole in the cuticle. Once inside the fungus kills the insect and consumes it from inside. Once consumed the fungus fills the cadaver of the insect with spores that will eventually burst forth from the insect ready to repeat the process all over again. Wireworms are active in the soil column and move up to a meter or more through the soil in search of the seeds and roots on which they feed. Under high populations wireworm damage can significantly affect crop yield. Wireworm damage is often confined to certain areas of a field, and stand losses can vary from zero to 60 or 70 percent. Historically, wireworms have been severe pests with few or no effective management techniques. Effective control was not achieved until inexpensive and broad-spectrum insecticides became available in the 1950s. Lindane was used as a seed treatment against wireworms in many crops for more than 30 years. The resurgence of wireworms in recent decades can be attributed in large part to the cancellation of the registrations of many conventional insecticides that were formerly used for wireworm control, and the ineffectiveness of their second-generation replacements. Biopesticides, such as fungal pathogens might be an attractive alternative for wireworms. Producers, industry, agriculturalists, and scientists all recognize wireworms as an increasing threat to the sustainable production of many field crops, of which at least 40 have been noted in the literature. Now, producers must contend with a serious pest without effective management tools or the fundamental knowledge to develop new tools. In recent years, wireworm damage has become an increasing problem for growers, so the demand for meaningful risk assessment and useful methods to restrict damage is increasing. However, due to the below ground habitat of the wireworms, pest control is difficult and leads to unsatisfactory results. Although many wireworms are pests of wheat, a recent survey indicates that Limonius californicus and Hypnoidus bicolor are the dominant wireworm species found in Montana, particularly in the Golden Triangle area. Montana State University Western Triangle Agricultural Research Center started research on the use of biopesticides for the control of wireworms, wheat stem sawfly and canola continued on page c61

Pathogenic fungi kill wireworms where they feed CONTINUED FROM Page C60

flea beetles in 2012. In this work, three entomopathogenic fungi were tested for their efficacy against wireworms in spring wheat. The three fungal species used (Metarhizium brunneum F52, Beauveria bassiana GHA, and Metarhizium robertsii DWR 346) were evaluated as seed-coat, in-furrow granular, and soil band- over -row drench applications in addition to imidacloprid (Gaucho® 600) seed treatment (as a chemical check), the approach currently being used by growers. Wireworm damage in these treatments was evaluated as standing plant counts, wireworm population surveys, and yield. The three fungi applied as formulated granules or soil drenches and the imidacloprid seed treatment all resulted in significantly higher plant stand counts and yields at both locations than the fungus-coated seed treatments or the untreated control. Significant differences were detected among the application methods but not among the species of fungi within each application method. All three fungi, when applied as granules in furrow or as soil drenches, were more effective than when used as seed-coating treatments for wireworm control, and provided an efficacy comparable or superior to imidacloprid. The fungi used in this study provided significant plant protection under moderate wireworm pressure and increased crop yield, supporting their value in the management of this pest. These results were published in Journal Invertebrate Pathology, 2014, 120: 43–49. We have recently taken up field trials to evaluate the efficacy of the combination of two fungal formulations so that we can reduce the application rate to cut the costs and improve upon this technology. Biopesticides fall into three categories, microbial, plant incorporated protectants and biochemical pesticides. Microbial biopesticides act through bacteria, fungi, viruses or protozoans to kill or deter insect pests. The microbial ‘active ingredient’ may have specific or broad spectrum action and may act on either insects or plants. The bacterium, Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) is a good example of a widely used biopesticides that has both broad and specific action depending on the strain used. The use of insect pathogenic fungi and bacteris to control wireworms and other crop pests is an emerging technology and one that may help where available chemical pesticides have not been effective. However, cost, shelf-life, and consistency are persistent problems that need to be dealt with in the development of this technology. Numerous studies have been carried out to explore the potential for increasing their compatibility, e.g. lowering costs, improving field performance and stability, etc. Despite the high desirability of utilizing environmentally safe biopesticides, the commercial development and broad-scale use of these microbial biocontrol agents are still largely limited.

Seasonal tipping point

By Matthew A. Diersen, Professor, Department of Economics, South Dakota State University Recently the average price for 5-600 pound steers (stockers) in South Dakota topped $260 per cwt. That is by far the highest price in our records, and it caps about a 12-month run of price increases. How long will the run last? That seems to be on the minds of both buyers and sellers. Seasonally, June is the peak month for stocker prices in South Dakota. The average price tends to be 5% higher during June than in the surrounding months. January and November tend to have seasonal lows. From a historical perspective, one would expect stocker prices to fall at any time. Seasonally the price for feeder cattle peaks in September. Futures price currently reflect that pattern, suggesting the trade expects the seasonal break also. The latest fundamentals from the Economic Research Service have projected prices for the fourth quarter of 2014 below third quarter levels. Thus, for buyers there is perhaps some relief in sight for prices. However, what could be done if the pattern does not hold? That is a tough call for buyers, as locking in calf or feeder prices today while not also locking in feed costs leaves buyers open to feeding margins changing. If they wanted to protect against a counter-seasonal move, then buying call options would be a way to approach it. For sellers methods are more straightforward. One may be tempted to sell or price calves now before the seasonal decline happens. The potential cost of doing so is capping any further gains. Protection strategies are right at the sweet-spot where seasonally prices are high and volatility remains low. Remember, if you will be buying protection and volatility increases with corn price uncertainty, then options become more expensive. In mid-June the implied volatility in the November feeder cattle futures was at 11.5 percent. That is a little higher than in June of 2013, but well below the 17 and 18 percent seen in other recent years. Buying put options provides downside coverage while leaving the upside open to further gains. Sellers of stockers and calves have another alternative this time of year - Livestock Risk Protection (LRP) insurance. While it functions like buying put options, the price adjustment factor for calves is an attractive feature. With the high prices seen the past year the volume covered by LRP has reached a record high. Nationally, the volume with a week to go in fiscal year 2014 is over 296,000 head. In South Dakota producers have covered a record 80,000 head. In addition, more than 30,000 head have been covered by producers in Kansas, Missouri and Oklahoma. The same low volatility that makes put options attractive also applies to LRP. Currently, LRP coverage can be purchased with end dates, when calves will likely be sold, from September through January. The highest coverage prices available, after premiums, are about $220 per cwt for 5-600 pound steers. While $220 is not $260, it would still be well above any fall price for stockers in our records.
