Statewide veterinary feed directive meetings

Montana State University Extension beef cattle specialists will host summer meetings across Montana to help livestock producers understand a new ruling by the United States Food and Drug Administration concerning feed-grade antibiotics. The veterinary feed directive, or VFD, was developed by the USFDA and will impact how producers feed their livestock. The VFD impacts feed-grade antibiotics that are medically important, which are antibiotics used in both human and animal medicine. The VFD rule will be implemented on January 1, 2017. In preparation for the rule, MSU Extension Beef Cattle Specialists Megan Van Emon and Rachel Endecott and Montana Veterinary Medical Association President-Elect Katie Rein will present a series of meetings throughout Montana. The meetings will focus on the VFD basics, label changes, veterinary-client-patient-relationships, required information on a VFD form, impacts on minor species and other information. The goal of the meetings is to provide information that will help attendees aid in the ease of implementation of the VFD rule. Meeting attendees will be given information in a binder, courtesy of the Western Extension Risk Management Education Center. All meetings will be held from 1-5 p.m. The schedule of the meetings and contact information follows by date, location, Extension agent and a contact phone number: August 9, Glasgow, Shelley Mills, 228-6241 August 10, Havre, Nicole Gray, 231-5150 August 11, Lewiston, Darren Crawford, 535-3919 August 16, Sidney, Tim Fine, 433-1206 August 24, Butte, Kellee Anderson, 723-0217 August 25, Missoula, Campbell Barrett, 258-4200 September 21, Dillon, Jackie Sutton, 683-3785 For more information, contact Van Emon at megan. vanemon@montana.edu or (406) 874-8286 or visit the MSU Beef Extension website at http://animalrangeextension. montana.edu/beef/VFD.html RSVPs for the meetings are encouraged by contacting the corresponding MSU Extension agent.

Animal feed safety training coming soon

By K-State Research and Extension News “The Food Safety Modernization Act is changing the way we think about animal food safety in the feed industry,” said Cassandra Jones, assistant professor at Kansas State University (KSU). “Many in the feed and pet food industries are uncertain about the requirements of the rule and how it applies to their situation.” As a result, Jones and a team of K-State faculty and alumni are joining with the National Grain and Feed Association (NGFA) to offer NGFA-KSU Food Safety Modernization Act Feed Industry Training planned for September 20-22, 2016 at the IGP Conference Center in Manhattan, Kansas. The preventative controls for animal food training curriculum was developed by K-State in collaboration with faculty from North Carolina State University. As the project manager for the group who designed the curriculum, Jones said she is excited to offer the training for industry and regulators. “There are many new requirements, and this course will describe those requirements to participants as well as give some ideas for implementation and training to those concepts,” she said. “Many industry and regulatory personnel are requesting training to be a Preventive Controls Qualified Individual.” Key topics covered in the course will include: The applicability of the Preventative Controls for Animal Food Rule, The Requirements for Current Good Manufacturing Practices, and the Items needed in a Food Safety Plan, such as hazard analysis and preventive controls. “The concepts participants learn in this course will be pivotal in their success in developing and implementing an animal food safety plan and food safety system,” Jones said. This course is unique compared to other courses where the curriculum only provides certification of training as a Preventive Controls Qualified Individual, because it also includes Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) training. Upon completion of the course, participants will hold two certificates of training – one from the Food Safety Preventative Controls Alliance and one from the International HACCP Alliance. This is just one example of the trainings offered through the IGP Institute. In addition to grain processing and flour milling, IGP offers courses in grain marketing and risk management, feed manufacturing and grain quality management. To register, visit IGP Institute - Training (http://www. igpevents.grains.ksu.edu/main.aspx). For more information, visit the IGP website at http://www.grains.k-state.edu/igp/ or contact

Supported by county, state, federal and private funds, the program has county Extension offices, experiment fields, area Extension offices and regional research centers statewide. Its headquarters is on the K‑State campus in Manhattan.

In this new role I hope to help coastal stakeholders understand one another better and help them work toward creating thriving communities and ecosystems on the Oregon coast.” “We are very excited to have Amanda join the OSG team,” said David Hansen, Oregon Sea Grant’s leader of outreach and engagement. “She has a strong background in working with coastal stakeholders and an infectious enthusiasm for addressing challenges facing Oregon coastal communities and industries.” Gladics earned her master’s degree at OSU in marine resource management. She worked with commercial fishermen as she studied the diets of seabirds and the movements of Dungeness crab in a proposed waveenergy site. In 2009 she received Oregon Sea Grant’s Robert E. Malouf Marine Studies Scholarship, which supports graduate students who combine research with education or public engagement. Most recently she was a faculty research assistant with Rob Suryan at OSU’s Seabird Oceanography Lab, working on best practices for preventing seabird bycatch in longline fisheries and tracking seabirds’ movements to inform wind and wave-energy development. ##### The fastest way to get pen marks off skin: green or black tea bags.

UNL experts offer advice on protecting ash trees

By Justin Evertson, Nebraska Forest Service Experts from the Nebraska Forest Service, Backyard Farmer and Nebraska Extension are urging homeowners not to prematurely rush into treating their ash trees after the recent discovery of the invasive emerald ash borer (EAB) in an Omaha park. “The recommendation is not to treat trees until it’s known that the bug is within 15 miles of you,” said Justin Evertson, green infrastructure coordinator with the Nebraska Forest Service. The Nebraska Department of Agriculture confirmed June 8 that the emerald ash borer, which attacks and kill all species of North American ash trees, was found during a site inspection in Pulaski Park in south Omaha. Nebraska is the 27th state to confirm the presence of the insect species, and the state’s taxpayers and homeowners are expected to spend more than $961 million on ash tree removal, disposal and replacement. The current treatment consideration zone extends from Fort Calhoun to Plattsmouth and from Gretna to east of Council Bluffs, Iowa. Treating outside of this zone will result in unnecessary exposure of the environment to pesticides, experts say. For anyone outside of the treatment zone, it’s important to take an inventory of ash trees and determine if it’s worth the cost of treatment. Ash trees have an opposite leaf pattern, which means that leaves, buds and stems are located directly across from each other. Ash leaves are compound and typically consist of five to 10 leaflets. On average, ash trees grow to between 50 and 60 feet tall. A variety of treatments are available for controlling emerald ash borer, including trunk injections and soil treatment. Professionally applied trunk injections involve pressureinjecting an insecticide into holes spaced around the lower trunk. All injection methods cause some internal damage to the tree. In general, the smaller the hole and amount of product injected, the less damage to the tree. Soil treatment is applied as a drench, by injection into the soil and as granules. Treatment is taken up by the roots and carried throughout the tree. Distribution in large trees may be uneven, resulting in inadequate control. The cost of treatment can range from $100 to $200 per application, depending on the size of the tree. Each of the treatment methods has advantages and disadvantages that should be discussed with a certified arborist. While several factors come into play when deciding whether to treat a tree for emerald ash borers, the vast majority of ash trees are not worth treating, experts say. The best candidates are high-value, healthy trees properly sited in the landscape. If a homeowner in a treatment consideration zone wants to pursue treatment, it’s important to contact a certified arborist because he or she will have access to a wider range of products. In addition, the yearly window of time that is recommended for treating an ash tree is closing. Soil treatments applied after mid-June will no longer be effective enough to control emerald ash borers this year. Also, trunk injections after mid-June will have quickly diminishing effectiveness the later they are applied because any tunneling by the insects will block the movement of the insecticide, and older emerald ash borer larvae in July and August are more difficult to kill. Instead of applying treatments in July and later, trees will see greater benefits if treated the next spring. Experts remind homeowners that treatments are not a permanent solution and those outside of the treatment zone do not need to consider the option at this time. “Treatment will not save the tree forever; it only extends the time until the tree dies from either the treatments themselves or is overcome by EAB,” said Eric Berg, community forestry and sustainable landscape program leader with the Nebraska Forest Service. The alternative is tree removal. Again, experts recommend contacting a certified arborist to examine the tree to determine whether it has emerald ash borers or another insect or disease problem. As trees are removed, they should be replaced with a diverse selection of trees to help avoid another significant loss of tree canopy when the next serious pest arrives, according to Evertson. Many broadleaf trees are available as replacements for ash. More than 60 species of medium to large trees are adapted to eastern Nebraska, and at least 30 species can be grown successfully in the west. Experts encourage homeowners to visit their local city park or arboretum to see a variety of trees growing in the area.

Why we have FARM on the farm

By Heidi Carroll, SDSU Extension Livestock Stewardship Associate Animal Care Wednesday Webinars
 Husbandry Practices in the Spotlight In a time when people are increasingly concerned about food safety and how animals are cared for, farmers continue to demonstrate their commitment to stewardship. During the June 1st Animal Care Wednesday Webinar, Kim Clark, Nebraska Dairy Extension Educator, discussed the ins and outs of what occurs on a dairy farm when a FARM (Farmers Assuring Responsible Management) Evaluator conducts an on-farm assessment. FARM Evaluation Process The National Dairy FARM Program has participation from 82 cooperatives and processors, which represents 95% of the United States’ milk supply. Dairy farmers care for their cows and calves using best management practices and keep careful records. Farm employees are encouraged to receive regular trainings, and are expected to implement low-stress cattle handling techniques. When a FARM Evaluator schedules a visit, there are four parts to the assessment process. 1. Pre-checklist for the producer to complete: Includes compiling required records and protocols (SOPs) for reviewing, determine the map route through your barns for the walk-through, and write out your herd profile. 2. In-person entrance interview with the owner or manager: Includes reviewing records and SOPs, talk about animal identification and milking procedures, calf care, veterinarian and nutritionist relationships, and discusses how the dairy farm handles and transports animals. 3. Evaluation and observations: Includes observing that SOPs are posted or available to employees; procedures are being followed; feed and water access; provision of protection from heat and cold; proper facilities for sick animals; and scoring animal hygiene, locomotion, body condition score, and hock/knee lesions. 4. Closing meeting and action plans: Includes summary of the farm observations and animal scores, discuss potential areas of improvement, create a farm action plan for any critical areas of improvement, and sign the “Pledge of Participation”. The Bottom Line “It’s really important that consumers know and understand that dairy farmers are committed to the highest quality of care for their animals and the FARM program provides the certification that shows the farmers commitment,” said Kim Clark. “An assessment observes and evaluates all areas of the dairy farm including animal handling, overall animal appearance and health, housing facilities, food and water, and employee training.” Dairy farmers that participate in the FARM program and routine farm evaluations convey their deep commitment to safe food production and animal well-being. Cows provide us with high quality milk every day; in return, dairy farmers work hard with a team of employees, veterinarians, nutritionists, hoof trimmers and others to ensure all of her needs are met.

Updated information on cattle grazing leases

Montana State University Extension specialists have released updated information on cattle grazing leases. The new four-page MontGuide, Grazing Leases, defines a grazing lease, helps readers estimate grazing lease rates, examines the basis for expressing lease rates, such as per acre, whole tract, per head and share of gain, and discusses the terms of a grazing lease. Grazing Leases was updated by Kate Binzen Fuller, assistant professor/Extension specialist in the MSU Department of Agricultural Economics and Economics, and Jeff Mosley, professor/Extension range management specialist in the Department of Animal and Range Sciences. “Whether you are a landlord or land tenant, putting together a thoughtful lease and negotiating rates, lease structure and responsibilities can be a daunting task,” said Fuller. “The Grazing Leases MontGuide addresses key items to include in a written lease, tools and strategies for calculating and negotiating rates and additional resources to help get you started. There is also a Beef Cattle Share MontGuide that introduces the concept of an equitable lease arrangement and applies it to cattle. It includes worksheets and explanations to help a livestock owner and operator calculate equitable percentages to split revenue.” Both MontGuides can be found on the http://msuextension.org/aglease <http://msuextension.org/aglease> / website, along with other tools and guides on the topic of agricultural leasing. The Grazing Leases MontGuide is a modified and updated version of Montana State University Extension Bulletin 120, Pasture Leases and Beef Cattle Share Arrangements, by Kent Williams, John Lacey, Dave Phillips and John Ranney.

Ventenata dubia

The director of the Sheridan Research and Extension Center (ShREC) expressed concern after a rangeland survey found a little-known invasive grass on 70 acres near Sheridan. Ventenata dubia, also called wiregrass, north African grass or simply ventenata, is a shallow-rooted annual that competes with perennial grasses and forbs and offers minimal forage value for livestock and wildlife. It is affecting hay production in Washington and Oregon. “This is one we have been concerned about becoming established in our state,” said Brian Mealor, ShREC director and a plant sciences professor at the University of Wyoming (UW). The U.S. Department of Agriculture reports ventenata, which is found in seven western states, is gaining attention because of its rate of spread and difficulty of control. Ventenata is easily mistaken for cheatgrass or Japanese brome, said Mealor. He and UW master’s student Clay Wood discovered populations covering up to 50 percent per acre in some locations. Ventenata was originally collected near Sheridan in 1997 as a specimen for the Rocky Mountain Herbarium. The herbarium is a collection of 825,000 dried plants and fungi housed at the University of Wyoming (rmh.uwyo.edu). “We were uncertain whether the population was persist-

They will follow up with more detailed information soon, he said.

Classes are taught by FWP staff and experienced wolf trappers. In addition to specifics on equipment and techniques, participants will learn about the history, ethics, management, regulations and requirements of wolves and wolf trapping. #### “A farmer’s work in many ways is like setting a stage. In theater, stage managers lay out furniture and props, set up lights, and clean to get a set ready for actors to take over and create a show. Farmers plow, fertilize, set up irrigation systems and fences, and otherwise prep the stage of their farms for the real actors -- the sun and the life within the seeds and animals -- to create the show.” Ben Hartman, The Lean Farm: How to Minimize Waste, Increase Efficiency, and Maximize Value and Profits with Less Work

MCA awards college scholarship

The Montana Cattlemen’s Association is pleased to announce the awarding of our $500 scholarship to Tara Woldstad. Tara graduated from Valier High School in May 2016 and plans to attend Montana State University Northern to earn a bachelor’s degree in Agriculture Operations Technology. Tara would like to pursue livestock nutrition when she completes her education. Tara is the daughter of Neal and Janice Woldstad of Valier, Montana, who have been long time members of the Montana Cattlemen’s Association. Tara has been very active on the family ranch where she helps with irrigation, fencing, moving cows, and swathing hay. Her parents gave Tara her first heifer and she has continued to build her own cattle herd from there. At Valier High School, Tara was secretary/treasurer during her sophomore year and president of her class as a junior. She participated in basketball during her sophomore year. Montana Cattlemen’s Association congratulates Tara Woldstad on her accomplishments and wishes her well in her future endeavors. ##### When Hazel was young, she used to search for potatoes that looked like the heads of famous people. As she got older, she quit when she noticed that all of the potatoes were starting to look like her.

By Ray Bisek, Polk/Clearwater Extension, Minnesota Following is an article from U of M Extension Small Grains Agronomist, Jochum Wiersma, on the value of straw. Sometimes it’s hard to put an economic perspective on the removal , but cash flow is a real issue that producers need to act on. Straw sales can help, especially if good diligences in marketing and sales agreements are followed through on. A few years back in reviewing research into this topic, I remember reading a journal article dealing with the potassium component of straw. Basically it discussed how small grains can be a luxury consumer when potassium nutrient levels are high in the soil nutrient profile, thus increasing the level at harvest in the straw significantly. It also discussed how a good rainstorm could wash much of those nutrients back into the soil. It might make economic sense to test the nutrient values of the straw before any sales! As harvest is approaching quickly and margins continue to be thin you may be contemplating whether it is worthwhile to bail straw. To put a value on something, we generally look at the marketplace and let supply and demand determine the value of the goods in ques on. To determine the value of straw, we can look at some local or regional hay auctions like the Central Minnesota Hay Auction in Sauke Centre to get some idea what livestock producers are willing to pay. However, we could also look at it from a different angle. Opportunity costs are defined as the costs of using a resource based on what it could have earned if used for the next best alternative. One way to determine the value of straw left in the field is to look at the nutrients that are available in the straw. There are several online tools available to estimate the amounts of N, P, and K that will be removed if straw is bailed. For every bushel of wheat, you can assume that you will produce somewhere between 70 to 85 lbs. of straw. This estimate will be closer to the lower end of the range with shorter varieties and/or when grain yields are high and closer to the upper end of the range with taller varieties and/or when grain yields are low. The amount of N, P, and K removed in straw is approximately 14 lbs/ton of Nitrogen, 3.3 lbs/ton of P2O5, and 24 lbs/ton of K2O. For a 50 bushels wheat crop, you will remove just about 2 ton of straw. This is equal to 28 lbs. of N, 6.6 lbs. of P2O5, and 48 lbs. of K20. Removing straw does not necessarily mean that you will mine your soils. Only if of the amount of nutrient removed is greater than the amount of nutrients applied, will you mine the soil. You can estimate how much you are mining by subtracting the total amount of nutrients removed in the grains and straw from the amount of fertilizer applied. Quantifying the value of Soil Organic Matter (SOM) is more difficult that the calculations for soil organic matter. Higher SOM levels mean better soil aggregation, improved water infiltration, less compactability, less erodibility, and a generally higher level of productivity due to more available water and nutrients. Each percent decrease in SOM equates to about 1 inch decrease in water holding capacity , about a loss of 1,000 lbs. of N, and decreases in availability of P and S. Removing straw doesn’t immediately result in loss of SOM as you will never remove all organic matter when you bale. Reduced tillage helps maintain the SOM over moldboard plowing. You can read more on this topic by following Jochum on his blog on the U of M Extension “Minnesota Crop News” website.


Unlocking cacao’s fungal foe

By Jan Suszkiw, Agricultural Research Service U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) scientists have sequenced the frosty pod rot fungus genome. That advance could speed the development of cacao tree varieties that better withstand this costly blight. The fungus that causes frosty pod rot disease, Moniliophthora roreri, occurs in most cacao-growing countries of Central and South America. Unchecked, the disease can destroy as much as 90 percent of the beans from which cocoa, cocoa butter, and ultimately chocolate are made. Growers use an integrated approach to control frosty pod rot by planting cacao tree cultivars that tolerate the disease. However, the fungus has shown signs of changing tactics, a worrisome development for producers and consumers alike. During the past 15 years, losses to frosty pod rot have slowly increased for varieties once considered disease tolerant, notes Bryan Bailey, a plant pathologist with Agricultural Research Service’s (ARS) Sustainable Perennial Crops Laboratory in Beltsville, Maryland. Sequencing the fungus’s genome has enabled researchers to observe its biotrophic (surviving on living tissue) and necrotrophic (surviving on dead tissue) phases, as well as learn how the pathogen survives in cacao plants considered tolerant to infection. For example, one theory suggests the fungus is changing genetically enabling a rapid shift from a biotrophic to necrotrophic state. The research team’s investigations included genetic sleuthing tracing the fungus to the upper Magdalena Valley of Colombia. That discovery—reported in the August 2015 issue of Frontiers in Microbiology (http://journal.frontiersin.org/ journal/microbiology)—has identified a location where researchers can search for cacao trees that are disease tolerant or resistant. Plant breeders could then transfer those newly identified genes into currently grown cultivars, notes Bailey. ARS is USDA’s principal intramural scientific research agency.

New regulations will help integrate use of sUAS

By 
Steve Watson, K-State Research and Extension News There is good news for those in agriculture eager to take advantage of new technology in the form of small unmanned aircraft systems (sUAS), also known popularly as drones. On June 21, the Department of Transportation’s Federal Aviation Administration released its final regulations governing commercial sUAS, said Ray Asebedo, Kansas State University agronomy assistant professor of precision agriculture. Changes in these new regulations will help integrate sUAS into the national airspace, while lessening the previous stringent qualifications for sUAS operations, Asebedo said. This will lead to more people being able to operate sUAS, and help increase technological advancements in agriculture. The new regulations are known as Part 107 of the Federal Aviation Regulations, said Richard Brown, sUAS technologist and pilot in K-State’s agronomy department, and Andrew Newsum, agronomy graduate student in the precision agriculture program. “They will govern any sUAS under 55 pounds and take effect in late August. Part 107 regulates operational requirements, pilot and aircraft certifications,” Brown said. Brown summarized some of the most significant of the new FAA regulations on sUAS commercial use: Operational requirements: Flight operations are only allowed during twilight and daylight hours. This is defined as the time between 30 minutes before sunrise to 30 minutes after sunset. Flights during twilight hours are only allowed if the aircraft has operational anti-collision lights. Flights must be conducted below 400 feet above ground level and the aircraft cannot reach speed in excess of 100 mph. The aircraft must be in line of sight at all times, without the aid of binoculars or similar devices, and must yield to other aircraft. The aircraft is not allowed to operate directly over people not involved in the operation. If operating above people not involved in the operation, those people must be in a covered structure or in a covered vehicle. The aircraft can be flown in class G airspace without contacting air traffic control. If the aircraft is going to be operated in B, C, D or E airspace, prior permission must be received by air traffic control. The aircraft can only be operated from a moving vehicle in a sparsely populated area. Pilot certification: To operate a sUAS the pilot must have a “remote pilot in command” certificate or be under the supervision of someone that has a remote pilot’s certificate. To receive a remote pilot’s certificate, an applicant must be at least 16 years old and have passed an initial aeronautical knowledge test at an FAA-approved knowledge testing center. Those who currently hold a Part 61 pilot’s license and have a current biannual flight review will only need to take a short online sUAS specific training and test. sUAS certification: Part 107 requires all sUAS to be registered with the FAA. Like conventional manned aircraft, the FAA requires that sUAS be in suitable condition to maintain safe flight. However, unlike conventional manned aircraft, the FAA does not require that sUAS comply with federal airworthiness standards. Instead the remote pilot in command is the sole person responsible for assuring that the sUAS is operational condition. The remote pilot in command is also responsible for reporting any accidents that result in damages more than $500 to any property other than the sUAS within 10 days of the accident. This brief overview is not intended to fully cover all sUAS regulations, Brown said. Read more about Part 107 sUAS regulations (http://www.faa.gov/uas/media/RIN_2120AJ60_Clean_Signed.pdf).

Supported by county, state, federal and private funds, the program has county Extension offices, experiment fields, area Extension offices and regional research centers statewide.

DJI, WSU to partner on ag drone research, education

By Seth Truscott, WSU CAHNRS DJI, the world’s leading commercial drone manufacturer, and Washington State University (WSU) recently announced their intention to partner on research and use of unmanned aerial systems in precision agriculture. DJI and WSU will jointly develop methods to improve agriculture with unmanned aerial systems, making farms more efficient, reducing waste, protecting the environment and increasing crop yields. This is DJI’s first comprehensive partnership with a U.S. university. “We are excited to collaborate with WSU, and recognize their vast experience in aerospace and agricultural applications,” said Romeo Durscher, DJI director of education. “Letting educators, students and researchers work with our hardware and create applications through our software development kit (SDK) will lead to new inventions and better utilization of our platforms and help a variety of people and industries, from farmers to field workers to consumers.” “Given our state’s long history in aerospace innovation and our vast agricultural resources, WSU is well positioned to bridge the gap between these two industries,” said Alex Pietsch, WSU associate vice president for corporate relations. “We are excited to partner with DJI to help bring their transformative technologies to the field and farm.” “DJI is poised to provide cutting-edge technology in the agricultural industry,” said Asif Chaudhry, WSU vice president for international programs. “This partnership expands WSU’s broad international presence and provides a pathway to being a leader in smart systems and sustainable resources research.” WSU’s Center for Precision & Automated Agricultural Systems (CPAAS), based in Prosser, Wash., will lead the effort. CPAAS provides the vast agricultural community in the Pacific Northwest with the latest technology for increased farming efficiency and environmentally friendly production. “CPAAS is focused on high-impact research outcomes,” said Qin Zhang, CPAAS director. “Our facilities, students and faculty offer DJI significant development capabilities and a unique testing ground.” Headquartered in Shenzhen, Guongdong, China, DJI is the market leader in easy-to-fly unmanned aerial vehicles and aerial photography systems. In 2015, the company released its first drone developed specifically for agriculture, the DJI Agras MG-1. With WSU’s history of developing technology solutions for agriculture, the diverse nature of Washington agriculture, and DJI’s developing agricultural drone technology, the two partners are pursuing research collaborations that include: • Precision agriculture: crop stress monitoring, aerial imaging and precision spraying; • Automated UAS platform development and testing for crop loss management, such as bird deterrence and rainwater removal from cherry canopies; • Rapid field phenotyping (aerial imaging) of new crop breeding lines; and • Development and evaluation of next generation unmanned aerial systems for agricultural use. DJI will also study starting a “Global Research Challenge” at WSU, enlisting students and faculty to find solutions to real world technological problems. About DJI DJI is a global leader in developing and manufacturing innovative drone and camera technology for commercial and recreational use. DJI was founded and is run by people with a passion for remote-controlled helicopters and experts in flight-control technology and camera stabilization. The company is dedicated to making aerial photography and filmmaking equipment and platforms more reliable and easier to use for creators and innovators around the world.

By NDSU Extension Service Meagan Scott has joined the North Dakota State University (NDSU) Extension Service as a 4-H youth development specialist and assistant professor in the Center for 4-H Youth Development. She is the lead specialist for the center’s 4-H educational programming efforts. This leadership will help ensure that the programs the center provides are modern, vibrant and relevant. She also will be involved in 4-H-related staff and professional development. As assistant professor, Scott serves as the link between the center and colleagues in the Human Development and Family Science Department. She will conduct and report on applied research in the field of youth development to create environments that help youth reach their full potential. She also will be responsible for understanding how changes and trends in our society influence youth. Most recently, she was an Agricultural Education doctoral student and graduate teaching associate at Oklahoma State University, and earned a doctorate in Agricultural Education there in the spring of 2016. She also holds a master’s degree in Agricultural and Extension Education and a bachelor of science degree in Human Development and Family Studies from Mississippi State University. She has a minor in Consumer Economics and a Gerontology certificate, and completed a summer study program at the Czech University of Life Sciences in Prague. Scott has more than eight years of experience as an Extension 4-H youth agent in Pearl River County, Mississippi. While there, she developed and led a comprehensive 4-H youth development program with a priority on youth leadership development. The program provided opportunities in areas including livestock, shooting sports, judging activities, science, engineering and technology. She also conducted several science day camps that included field trips to the NASA Stennis Space Center in southern Mississippi. “Her experience at two land-grant universities, experience in conducting research in an interdisciplinary way, and demonstrated successful experience in county-based 4-H youth development make her a good fit for this position,” says Brad Cogdill, Center for 4-H Youth Development chair. She started at NDSU on July 1.

A faster way to get rid of kudzu

By Sandra Avant, Agricultural Research Service According to a U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) study, the use of combined management programs can control kudzu more quickly than individual methods in use today. An invasive weed, kudzu was introduced to the United States in the late 1800s. It disrupts native ecosystems, threatens natural resources, and inhibits use of forestland, particularly in Mississippi, where kudzu is pervasive. Land infested with kudzu has little or no value. Agricultural Research Service (ARS) scientists in Stoneville, Mississippi, reviewed different programs known to successfully suppress kudzu. Mark A. Weaver, a plant pathologist in the ARS Biological Control of Pests Research Unit, and his team used a combination of these programs, including a herbicide-free “organic” system, to achieve a high rate of kudzu suppression and eradication. Typically, it takes about 10 years of persistent herbicide applications to eradicate kudzu. Weaver developed a series of effective management programs that can substantially reduce kudzu over one- and two-year periods. Once landowners remove kudzu, they can use their land productively, according to Weaver. They can establish forestry, wildlife habitats and recreational parks. Weaver applied four different herbicides, individually or in combination, and a bioherbicide treatment at three different kudzu-infested sites. (A bioherbicide is a biologically based control agent for weeds.) He repeated these treatments for two years. Results showed a high level of suppression on the small plots after just one year. An even higher percentage of kudzu—99 to 100 percent—was killed during the second year. The organic treatment, which simultaneously established native vegetation, killed 91 percent of kudzu after one year and 95 percent after two years. The treatment involves applying a bioherbicide application, mowing and revegetation. ARS is USDA’s principal intramural scientific research agency.

Wheat producers Marketing Assistance Loans

USDA Farm Service Agency (FSA) State Executive Director Bruce Nelson reminds Montana wheat producers that FSA Marketing Assistance Loans can help meet cash flow needs without selling commodities when market prices are at harvest-time lows. “In the current marketing environment for wheat, producers are encouraged to contact our office to learn more about marketing loans so that they can make the best choice for their farming operations,” Nelson said. Wheat producers who are eligible to obtain marketing loans may also be eligible for loan deficiency payments (LDPs) if they choose to forgo the marketing loan to obtain the LDP should the posted county price fall below the county loan rate. The producer would agree to forgo the marketing loan in order to obtain an LDP. Producers can also purchase a commodity certificate that may be exchanged for the outstanding loan collateral. Unlike LDPs, use of commodity certificates does not affect payment limitations. Producers can check their daily LDP rates in Montana online at the following link: http://www.fsa.usda.gov/FSA/ldppcpStateIn fo?mystate=mt&area=home&subject=dalp&topic=landing. For a commodity to be eligible for a loan, loan deficiency payment, or certificate, the producer must have beneficial interest in the commodity, defined as having title, possession and control of the commodity, and responsible for loss of or damage to the commodity. All related application forms must be completed at the local FSA office prior to loss of beneficial interest including page 1 of the CCC-633EZ form. Other eligibility requirements may apply; consult your local FSA office for more information. Marketing assistance loans are also available for other commodities, such as corn, grain sorghum, barley, oats, soybeans and other oilseeds (including sunflower seed, rapeseed, canola, safflower, flaxseed, mustard seed, crambe and sesame seed), dry peas, lentils, small chickpeas, large chickpeas, grade and non-graded wool, mohair, unshorn pelts, honey and peanuts.

##### If your photographs are stuck to each other or to a glass frame, the solution is steam. Use a steamer, a steam iron set on its highest setting, or a pan of boiling water to get steam as close as you can between the photo and whatever it’s stuck to (being careful not to burn yourself). As the photo gets warmer and wetter, it should become easy to peel away. Lay out to dry, then flatten with a fat book if it has curled.

Brummond named sustainable ag hero

By NDSU Extension Service Brad Brummond, the North Dakota State University (NDSU) Extension Service’s agriculture and natural resources agent for Walsh County, is a sustainable agriculture hero. He was one of two people named the North Central Region Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education (NCRSARE) program’s 2016 NCR-SARE Hero. NCR-SARE is one of four regional offices that run the nationwide SARE program, which provides grants and educational opportunities for producers, scientists, educators, institutions, organizations and others to explore sustainable agriculture. The NCR-SARE Hero award recognizes leadership, vision, contributions and impact in sustainable agriculture in the north-central region, which consists of North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Missouri, Nebraska, Ohio and Wisconsin. Brummond specializes in organic production and is the primary contact for organic issues at NDSU Extension. “I have dedicated my professional career to the cause of making the lives of people better, particularly children and underserved audiences,” he says. “I also believe that we can and need to protect our environment while maintaining profitability for the producers of our food both big and small. I feel that this honor is affirmation that my efforts to some small degree have been successful on a local, state and nationwide basis, and it is a truly humbling thought.” He has worked with organic and sustainable producers in North Dakota and South Dakota since joining the NDSU Extension Service as a county agent in 1982 after graduating from NDSU with degrees in Agricultural Education and Agricultural Extension. He also has served on the North Dakota State SARE Advisory Committee for more than 25 years. In addition, he served two terms as an Administrative Council member for NCR-SARE between 1993 and 2008. During that time, he helped form NCR-SARE’s Circle of Sustainability committee, which conducted several listening sessions throughout the region to bring together people with differing viewpoints as a way for them to share their perspectives on sustainability and agriculture. He also helped organize NCR-SARE’s first listening session with Native Americans in North Dakota and South Dakota. As an Extension agent, Brummond also has been involved with 4-H youth and is a strong advocate for youth in agriculture. He helped develop NCR-SARE’s youth educator grant program. His other activities include serving as chair of the North Dakota Organic Advisory Board. He also has served as president of the Northern Plains Sustainable Agriculture Society and North Dakota Association of Extension Agents. “The NDSU Extension Service is incredibly proud that Brad Brummond has received the Hero award,” NDSU Extension Director Chris Boerboom says. “It validates his years of commitment to serving sustainable agriculture, not only in Walsh County, but to producers and youth across the state.” This year’s other NCR-SARE Hero is Linda Kleinschmit, who, along with her husband, Martin, operates a 365-acre certified organic rotational grazing, grass-fed beef operation near Hartington, Nebraska.

The lawyer and the farmer

A big-city lawyer was representing the railroad in a lawsuit filed by an old rancher. The rancher’s prize bull was missing from the section through which the railroad passed. The rancher only wanted to be paid the fair value of the bull. The case was scheduled to be tried before the justice of the peace in the back room of the general store. The attorney for the railroad immediately cornered the rancher and tried to get him to settle out of court. The lawyer did his best selling job, and finally the rancher agreed to take half of what he was asking. After the rancher had signed the release and took the check, the young lawyer couldn’t resist gloating a little over his success, telling the rancher, “You know, I hate to tell you this, old man, but I put one over on you in there. I couldn’t have won the case. The engineer was asleep and the fireman was in the caboose when the train went through your ranch that morning. I didn’t have one witness to put on the stand. I bluffed you!” The old rancher replied, “Well, I’ll tell you, young feller, I was a little worried about winning that case myself, because that durned bull came home this morning.”

Soybean export growth opportunities and quality

Wilson, University Distinguished Professor and CHS Chair in Risk and Trading, NDSU Agribusiness and Applied Economics Department revenue of $8 to $13 per acre if this situation were improved. There is also substantial variation through time and across origins. Data compiled by Seth Naeve, University of Minnesota Extension soybean agronomist, illustrates the spatial distribution of protein levels in the upper central Plains states. It is evident that soybean production in North Dakota has lower protein levels than in parts of other regions. Lower protein values in the Midwest are thought to be a result of spatially differentiated growing conditions. A major contributor to this is the length of the growing season and the amount of light that soybean plants receive. According to the data used in our studies, the average protein level in soybeans proOne of the fastest growing markets in duced in North Dakota is 34.01 percent. The the past decade has been that of soybean average protein level of all states is about production and exports. In North Dakota, 34.6 percent. Thus, based on protein level the area planted to soybeans has increased alone, a not inconsequential portion of the from about 2 million acres in 2000 to about crop produced in North Dakota could fall 5.7 million acres in 2015, and expectations short of requirements or expectations of are up to 5.95 million acres in 2016. international buyers.

Impact of toadflax hybrids on biocontrols

Researchers with Colorado State University and the U.S. Forest Service have uncovered new information that may explain why insect biocontrols used to manage toadflax infestations can sometimes exhibit mixed results. Both yellow toadflax and Dalmatian toadflax are nonnative plant species that have become widespread and difficult to control invaders in large areas of the western U.S. Experience shows herbicides are not always effective at toadflax control. In addition, many invasions are found in sensitive public forests, open rangelands and wilderness areas where widespread spraying simply isn’t an option. As an alternative to herbicides, weed managers have relied on stem-boring weevils that have very specific preferences about the plants they will attack. One species (Mecinus janthinus) is drawn only to yellow toadflax, while another (Mecinus janthiniformis) attacks only Dalmatian toadflax. When yellow and Dalmatian toadflax plants cross-pollinate to produce hybrids, though, there are indications that speciesspecific weevils may become confused. To better understand the genetics of hybrid toadflax and how cross-pollination might impact insect biocontrols, researchers analyzed chloroplast DNA to investigate the extent and direction of cross-pollination between toadflax species in natural habitats. Hybrid plants were most often found to have yellow toadflax chloroplast DNA, indicating that yellow toadflax is typically the female parent pollinated by Dalmatian toadflax. The research team also made another unexpected discovery. Plants from two toadflax populations in Colorado that were thought to be pure Dalmatian toadflax based on physical appearance and growing location were found to contain yellow toadflax cytoplasm instead. Scientists suspect this phenomenon is the result of an initial cross-pollination with yellow toadflax, followed by several generations of pollination by Dalmatian toadflax. “The plants look like Dalmatian toadflax, but may contain enough yellow toadflax DNA that weevils normally feeding on Dalmatian toadflax will not attack them,” says Sarah Ward of Colorado State University. “This may explain reports by weed managers that weevils preferring Dalmatian toadflax are choosing not to feed on some invasive Dalmatian toadflax populations.”

discounts, the greater CAAV values from North Dakota soybeans result in a windfall gain for end users. The issues here are important for the state’s soybean industry and are one of the strategic initiatives of the North Dakota Soybean Council. Through time, one would expect that as the market matures, buyers will become more knowledgeable and competition among sellers will intensify. As that evolves, buyers likely will become more demanding, simply wanting to know with greater precision the end-use value of the products they buy. This frequently is referred to as wanting greater consistency in their purchases. The marketing system may respond to this in numerous ways. Indeed, a major goal would be to increase protein content. In addition, or in the interim, it is essential to have outreach programs explaining these issues, data and the important relationships. Buyers and sellers may respond in a multitude of ways. These may include greater specificity with respect to protein content by ultimately targeting origins, or specifying additional measureable attributes in contracts. Results of a recent NDSU study, supported by the North Dakota Soybean Council, indicate that greater specificity regarding EAA would result in a slightly higher cost but lesser risk to buyers because the product would meet their expectations of end-use performance. ##### In Tibet, a common drink is butter tea – it is made from yak butter, salt, and tea. ##### Start root vegetables cooking in cold water, everything else in hot.

PERSONAL HYGIENE 1. While ears need to be cleaned regularly, this is a job that should be done in private using one’s OWN truck keys 2. Dirt and grease under the fingernails is a social no-no, as they tend to detract from a woman’s jewelry and alter the tastes of finger foods. ENTERTAINING IN YOUR HOME 1. A centerpiece for the table should never be anything prepared by a taxidermist. 2. Do not allow the dog to eat at the table...no matter how good his manners are. THEATER ETIQUETTE 1. Crying babies should be taken to the lobby and picked up immediately after the movie has ended. 2. Refrain from talking to characters on the screen. Tests have proven they can’t hear you. WEDDINGS 1. Livestock, usually, is a poor choice for a wedding gift. 2. Kissing the bride for more than 5 seconds may get you shot. 3. For the groom, at least rent a tux.

Renovation Whenever possible, plant new alfalfa into soil that has not grown alfalfa for at least one year. Wait even longer if dryland fields need to accumulate moisture reserves in the subsoil. The most reliable way to rapidly develop a new stand of alfalfa in an old alfalfa field is to completely destroy the old stand, then wait at least two months before planting the new stand. One option is to destroy the stand with herbicides or tillage after the final harvest, then plant the following spring. Normal stands should develop; however, pest problems, a lack of subsoil moisture, and autotoxicity likely will mean lower yields than if planting where alfalfa has not been grown for at least one year. If sufficient moisture is present, delaying planting until late summer the following year will increase the likelihood of success because most barriers will decrease with time. Reseeding a new stand of alfalfa within a single growing season into a field where an old stand currently exists takes careful planning and timing. Since alfalfa will be planted in late summer when rainfall is less reliable, the availability of irrigation will be important to its success. If adequate moisture is not available in the fall or planting isn’t possible until after mid-August in northwest Nebraska or early September in southeast Nebraska, it usually is better to

early enough (mid to late June) to allow at least 50 to 60 days of growth before it’s harvested for hay. If weeds are present in the stubble, spray with sufficient glyphosate to kill them and then no-till plant alfalfa into the stubble. Direct Interseeding Under certain conditions, alfalfa can be interseeded directly into existing alfalfa to thicken stands. It is most often successful when done to fill in bare spots or skipped rows soon after and no later than one year after a new stand was planted. Neither competition nor autotoxicity will be as high as with an older stand. For alfalfa stands more than one year old, interseeding usually is not successful. When attempted, this practice is most practical and successful on irrigated sandy soils using a low-till drill that cuts the sod and places seed in contact with mineral soil. Use herbicides to reduce competition from the existing alfalfa and other vegetation. Paraquat, at 1 to 2 pints per acre, often will provide sufficient suppression of alfalfa and associated grass or weed growth on sandy irrigated sites to allow seedlings to become established. Glyphosate, at a rate of 1 to 2 quarts per acre, is usually needed on heavy or fine-textured soils as well as on some sandy sites to adequately reduce competition. After applying either herbicide, plant alfalfa as soon as possible.

By K-State Research and Extension Kansas State University is one of 13 prominent research institutions in the United States that joined the SoAR Foundation in calling for a surge in federal support of food and agricultural science. “Retaking the Field,” (http://supportagresearch.org/ retakingthefield/) a report released by this coalition, highlights recent scientific innovations and illustrates how U.S. agricultural production is losing ground to China and other global competitors. “The ‘Retaking the Field’ report highlights the impact of the publicly funded land grant university system in responding to grand challenges around food and agricultural production, now and into the future,” said Ernie Minton, Kansas State University associate dean of research and graduate programs. “In Kansas, agriculture drives the economy. It is the state’s largest industry and the state’s largest employer. As Kansas’ land grant university, K-State strives to serve that industry as an important provider of new technologies, not only in the area highlighted in this report, but many areas where we have unique strengths in water, crops, livestock and other mission-focused research. However, state and federal investments in food and agricultural research must expand to ensure that needed technologies emerge at a pace that meets future production challenges.” “Retaking the Field” looks at the importance of agriculture and its related industries to the U.S. economy. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, this sector was responsible for nearly 1 in 10 jobs in 2014 and contributed $835 billion to the U.S. gross domestic product. Even though every public dollar invested in agricultural research provides $20 in economic returns, the federal budget for agricultural research has remained flat for decades. Today, the U.S. trails China in both agricultural production and public research funding. “The first introduction of PEDv (Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea Virus) into the U.S. swine industry in 2013 was devastating with approximately 60 percent of the sow herds becoming infected with many herds reporting 100 percent piglet mortality at the onset of the infection,” said Jason Woodworth, Kansas State University research associate professor. Woodworth and his team first confirmed pig feed as a path of transmission for the virus. Their efforts are highlighted in the report. “At Kansas State, we quickly put together a team that combined our strengths in applied swine nutrition, feed science, and veterinary medicine and partnered with experts at the Iowa State University Vet Diagnostic Laboratory to conduct research studies that successfully generated information for pork producers and feed manufacturers to identify ways to mitigate PEDv risk,” Woodworth said. “Our work focused on ways to manufacture or treat feed that would reduce cross contamination with the ultimate goal to prevent the spread of the virus to new farms. Our work was sponsored by the National Pork Board and it was their quick call to action that allowed the U.S. swine industry to become better educated about this virus and to ultimately find ways to minimize the spread of PEDv.” The K-State team played a critical role in containing the outbreak. The cumulative incidence of PEDv infections dropped from 56 percent in 2013-14 to 6 percent in 2015-16. “Researchers are discovering incredible breakthroughs, helping farmers produce more food using fewer resources, and keeping our meals safe and nutritious,” said Thomas Grumbly, president of the SoAR Foundation. “However, the science behind agriculture and food production is starved of federal support at a time of unprecedented challenges. A new surge in public funding is essential if our agricultural system is going to meet the needs of American families in an increasingly competitive global market.” Farming has never been an easy endeavor and today’s challenges to agricultural production are daunting. The historic California drought continues and U.S. production is also threatened by new pests and pathogens, like the 2015 Avian Influenza outbreak that led to the culling of 48 million birds in 15 states and $2.6 billion in economic damages. “Every year, the director of national intelligence testifies before Congress that our national security is threatened by hunger in unstable regions,” Grumbly said. “As the number of people on our planet continues to grow, we must produce more food. This cannot be done with yesterday’s science. We need a larger infusion of cutting-edge technologies.” The “Retaking the Field” report can be downloaded at the SoAR Foundation (http://supportagresearch.org/retakingthefield/).

across the US. Highlights include: • Cornell University: David Just, PhD, figured out how to use the marketing strategies used to sell candy in grocery stores to get kids to make healthier choices in school cafeterias. • Iowa State University: Lisa Schulte Moore, PhD and Matthew Helmers, PhD, found that interspersing strips of native prairie in corn and soy crops reduces nitrogen and phosphorous runoff, provides habitat for pollinators and improves water quality without significantly sacrificing production. • Kansas State University: Jason Woodworth, PhD, identified feed as a pathway for Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea virus (PEDv) transmission for pigs and developed processes for preventing its spread. • Massachusetts Institute of Technology: Colette L. Heald, PhD, examined the synergy between climate change and air pollution. She calculated how crop adaptations to changing weather patterns are impacted by ground-level ozone. • North Carolina State University: Rodolphe Barrangou, PhD, uses the CRISPR gene editing technology to trace the precise routes that foodborne pathogens take from production facilities to consumers. He is also applying the CRISPR process to eliminate virulent strains of E. coli. • Purdue University: Phillip Owens, PhD, developed a process to integrate satellite data and landscape features with ground samples to create 3D maps of soil characteristics, which help farmers fine-tune their operations to maximize production while conserving resources. • Stanford University: Elizabeth Sattely, PhD, uses a tobacco plant variety to manufacture a chemotherapy agent, which enables a potential means for producing less expensive and life-saving pharmaceuticals. • Tuskegee University: Woubit Abdela, PhD, Temesgen Samuel, PhD, and Teshome Yehualaeshet, PhD, developed a test for 25 strains of salmonella that can be done onsite in less than an hour instead of a two-week offsite process. They are also designing nanoparticles to remove food pathogens. • University of California, Davis: Bart C. Weimer, PhD, is using DNA sequencing to build a library of foodborne pathogens to assist health authorities around the world in controlling outbreaks. • University of Florida: Carrie Lapaire Harmon, PhD, developed an early detection lab for Florida’s diversifying agricultural sector to identify emerging pathogens before they cause epidemics. • University of Illinois: Scott Irwin, PhD, produced a web portal that disseminates research and commodity analyses along with online tools that help farmers leverage new policies to improve their operations. • University of Nebraska-Lincoln: Suat Irmak, PhD, examines farm irrigation needs and determines which technologies are best suited for Nebraska crops. He established a network that saved 1.8 million acre-feet of groundwater—enough to refill the state’s largest lake. • Washington University in St. Louis: Jeffrey I. Gordon, MD, found that the impacts of malnutrition can be addressed by targeting the development of microbial communities in children’s digestive tracts. K‑State Research and Extension is a short name for the Kansas State University Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, a program designed to generate and distribute useful knowledge for the well‑being of Kansans. Supported by county, state, federal and private funds, the program has county Extension offices, experiment fields, area Extension offices and regional research centers statewide. Its headquarters is on the K‑State campus in Manhattan. About SoAR The Supporters of Agricultural Research (SoAR) Foundation leads a non-partisan coalition working to educate stakeholders about the importance of agricultural research and focus more of our best minds on feeding America and the world. SoAR advocates for full funding for the Agriculture Food and Research Initiative (AFRI) to encourage top scientists from multiple disciplines to address agriculture related challenges in order to improve public health and strengthen our economic competitiveness. ##### Lincoln, Nebraska was once nicknamed Church City because of the number of churches in the town.

UNL earns $20M award to improve crop productivity

By Ashley Washburn, Research Communications Manager The University of Nebraska-Lincoln (UNL) will lead a $20 million, Nebraska-based research effort to improve crop productivity. Funded with a five-year award from the National Science Foundation’s Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (https://epscor.nebraska.edu), or EPSCoR, this new project draws upon a range of expertise in Nebraska. UNL is teaming with scientists at the University of Nebraska Medical Center, University of Nebraska at Kearney and Doane University on the new Center for Root and Rhizobiome Innovation. The research uses a holistic strategy to study root and soil microbe interactions and to develop new biological tools to enhance crop performance. The award funds three new faculty positions, two at UNL and one at UNK, to fill critical research needs. “This research is the new frontier for plant improvement. The root is an understudied plant organ and very important for productivity and for the ability to withstand abiotic stresses, like drought or soil salinity,” said project co-leader Edgar Cahoon, George W. Holmes professor of biochemistry and director of UNL’s Center for Plant Science Innovation (http://www.unl.edu/psi/). James Alfano, Charles Bessey professor of plant pathology, co-leads the project. “Our soils and the crops they produce are invaluable resources for Nebraska and those around the globe who depend on our agriculture food and natural resource system,” UNL Chancellor Ronnie Green said. “Innovative, collaborative research like this is why Nebraska is at the leading edge of science aimed at increasing productivity and protecting critical resources.” The team initially will focus on corn, but their findings and biological tools will be applicable to studying and improving other crops, including soybeans, he said. Taking a systems approach, the researchers will investigate the genetic and metabolic diversity across a wide array of corn varieties. They seek to understand how root metabolism determines the chemical compounds that roots release into the soil and how those compounds affect soil microbes. They’ll also study how roots and microbes interact to influence corn health and productivity. A key aim is developing new biological tools that will allow the researchers to use their findings to precisely modify plant genomes, targeting specific traits such as drought resistance or yield. The research harnesses technological advances that let scientists gather and characterize large collections of biological data. The ability to both quickly study crop diversity and introduce large numbers of genes into a plant’s genome will speed the rate of crop advancements, Cahoon said. Using UNL’s extensive agricultural research facilities, the scientists will test and refine their enhanced crops in the greenhouse and the field. “UNL’s long-term investments in people, technologies, facilities and partnerships enable us to tackle exciting new research in complex areas like the rhizobiome,” said Prem Paul, vice chancellor for research and economic development. In addition to Cahoon and Alfano, 14 UNL faculty from agronomy and horticulture, biochemistry, biological sciences, chemistry and plant pathology are co-investigators on the project. Additionally, two faculty at UNMC, two at UNK and two at Doane University will work on the project. “This award will also help train the next generation of young Nebraskans to pursue careers in STEM (science, technology, engineering and math fields) and contribute to the future economic development of Nebraska,” said Fred Choobineh, Nebraska EPSCoR director and Blackman/ Lederer Distinguished Professor of electrical and computer engineering at UNL. “Nebraska has had a reputation of being at the forefront of plant genetic improvement, and this will take us to the next level,” Cahoon said. “This project will have considerable benefit for agriculture. It’s strongly based in basic science, but it has real-life applicability for making sustainable crop improvements.” ##### The name “pumpkin” originated from “pepon”, the Greek word for “large melon.” ##### Darker Green lettuce leaves are more nutritious than lighter green leaves.


Help just a click away, stigma is still a roadblock

By Iowa State University of Science and Technology News Service Stigma is a major barrier preventing people with mental health issues from getting the help they need. Even in a private and anonymous setting online, someone with greater self-stigma is less likely to take that first step to get information about mental health concerns and counseling, according to a new Iowa State University (ISU) study. Daniel Lannin, lead author, psychology graduate student and clinical intern at ISU’s Student Counseling Service, says self-stigma is a powerful obstacle to overcome. The study was designed specifically to measure how participants responded when given the opportunity to learn more online about mental health concerns and university counseling services. Of the 370 college students who participated in the study, only 8.7 percent clicked the link for mental health information and 9 percent sought counseling information. However, those numbers dropped to 2.2 percent and 3.5 percent respectively, among people with high self-stigma. “It’s not just the fear of seeing a counselor or therapist,” Lannin said. “It’s actually when people are sitting at home or on their phone. That stigma prevents them from even learning more information about depression or about counseling.” The results, published in the Journal of Counseling Psychology, illustrate the need for better stigma interventions, he said. Lannin is developing and testing different online interventions, but it’s difficult because such efforts are often rejected. “A lot of people with higher levels of stigma won’t even entertain the possibility of a stigma intervention because they see the intervention as going to therapy to be more open to therapy,” Lannin said. “It’s like telling someone who doesn’t like vegetables to eat some broccoli to get over it.” Lannin knows that interventions work. In a previous study, he found participants were more open to receiving help-seeking information after writing a brief essay about a personal value. He says the challenge is designing the intervention so it’s not threatening to a person with greater stigma. College is a time when mental illness is often diagnosed One in five people struggle with mental illness, and many don’t get help, Lannin said. Those who do wait an average of 11 years, before finally seeking treatment. Lannin says distressed students in the study were more likely to click the link for information (8.5 percent probability for those with high self-stigma, compared to 17.1 percent for those with low self-stigma). Distress is like the gas pedal and stigma the brake, he said. Unfortunately, by the time someone reaches a high level of distress, he or she is often struggling to function. “Identifying distressed students can be difficult because distress affects people in different ways. The main thing we notice is impairment in functioning across multiple spheres. They struggle with school work or with family relationships and friendships. If it gets bad enough, they might struggle with hygiene or start strongly contemplating suicide,” Lannin said. “It’s not just that they feel bad; it’s that functionally they’re impaired.” According to the National Alliance on Mental Illness, three-quarters of all chronic mental illness begins by age 24. Lannin says for many young adults this is a time of transition – going to college, working full-time and moving away from home – adding to the reasons they may not seek help. This is another consideration when designing interventions and educational information, Lannin said. In the paper, Lannin and his colleagues suggested adding brief self-affirmation activities to websites frequented by atrisk populations, as well as links to additional mental health and treatment information. Self-affirmation interventions could also be incorporated into outreach events organized by university counseling centers. David Vogel, a professor of psychology at Iowa State; Todd Abraham, a lecturer in psychology; and Rachel Brenner and Patrick J. Heath, both graduate students in psychology, all contributed to this research. ##### When I am an old coot...

By Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks (FWP) biologists have completed their 2016 winter and spring aerial surveys of deer populations across Region 6 in northeastern Montana. The surveys indicate a continuing increase in numbers for mule deer, and mostly stable populations of whitetail deer across the region. Mule deer For mule deer, 11 trend areas in Region 6 are typically examined each year from the air. The winter “post-season survey” was completed in January, and the “spring survey” was conducted in late March and April. While total deer counts tend to be variable, FWP Biologist Ryan Williamson of Outlook said the 2016 surveys indicate mule deer are above average. “Mule deer trends continue to show a steady recovery across the region in the last few years,” Williamson said. The post-hunting-season surveys showed the region-wide mule deer population at 49 percent above average, and 17 percent above the 2015 surveys. The spring surveys showed region-wide populations at 47 percent above average, and 29 percent above the 2015 survey. While regional numbers indicate above average mule deer levels overall, differences are seen across the region and in isolated areas as well. According to Williamson, mule deer trend area numbers in the eastern half of the region (Glasgow area and east) are at or above the average. The western half of the region (Malta and Havre area), however, is more variable across the trend areas, ranging from below average to above average. This same trend was seen in the deer fawn-to-adult ratios that are also conducted during the spring survey. “Fawn to adult ratio is an indicator of over-winter survival as well as new recruitment into the population,” Williamson said. “The 2016 survey showed 58 fawns to 100 adults across the region, which is slightly above the average of 53 fawns to 100 adults. The eastern half of Region 6 saw the higher number of fawns to adults, with 65 fawns to 100 adults, while the western half was at 49 fawns to 100 adults, indicating a slower-growing mule deer population.” “Data collected during mule deer surveys are only one factor in deer management recommendations,” Williamson further explained. “The prior year’s harvest, weather and habitat factors, as well as additional input gathered from landowners, hunters, the general public and other agencies are all considered by the Fish and Wildlife Commission for season and quota setting decisions.” Another pressing factor in managing deer populations is the threat of chronic wasting disease (CWD) that is moving further south in Alberta and Saskatchewan toward the Montana border. In 2014, FWP initiated a mule deer telemetry study north of Chinook in Hunting District (HD) 600 to gather data on the movement of deer between the U.S. and Canada. “It is just a matter of when and where CWD will be detected in Montana,” says Williamson. “Higher deer numbers tend to influence the spread of the disease, so we take that into consideration when developing hunting season regulations.” For 2016, all Region 6 hunting districts will be managed under the standard regulation for mule deer, which includes either-sex for a general deer license (A-tag), as well as additional doe/B-licenses. “The exception to this is hunting district 652 which is a limited permit, mule deer buck-only hunting district,” Williamson said. “Hunting Districts 620, 630, 631, 632, 640, 650, 651, 670, 680 and 690 had a conservative number of mule deer antlerless/B-licenses available this year, with the license application deadline on June 1.” Whitetail deer In regards to whitetails, Williamson said surveys have been completed in six areas across Region 6. Due to more uniform habitat, the whitetail surveys tend to look at deer density, as opposed to total numbers, for trends. The 2016 year’s survey show whitetail deer density is at an average of 6.7 deer per square mile across the trend areas, which is approximately 39 percent below the long-term average of 11 deer per square mile. The 2015 survey showed whitetails at 47 percent below average. “White-tailed deer densities continue to recover in the eastern part of the region, but are still 25 percent below average, while the western portion of the region is 58 percent below the average,” Williamson said. Prior to 2010, whitetail densities were as high as 40 – 50 deer per square mile in some areas. “This was an unsustainable level that was causing problems for landowners and also degrading habitat conditions,” Williamson said. “EHD CONTINUED ON PAGE B11

By Seth Truscott, WSU CAHNRS Apprentice beekeeper Bethe Bowman never thought she would care so deeply about the humble honey bee. Taking beekeeping classes through Washington State University (WSU) Extension, she installed two buzzing backyard hives, each containing roughly 30,000 bees, this spring. “I got them because they’re important for pollination,” she said. “But my biggest discovery was that I fell in love with bees. I didn’t know an insect could make you feel that way.” 100 new beekeepers each year WSU Extension supports beekeeping courses in partnership with local beekeepers’ associations, helping people take their first steps as apiarists. “We’re graduating more than 100 beginners each year,” said Joan Nolan, an extension master gardener and a beekeeper for more than 40 years who organizes the classes with Spokane’s Inland Empire Beekeepers Association (IEBA). Interest in beekeeping has been growing, said IEBA member Matthew Liere. He takes part in the association’s mentor program for new keepers, including Bowman. “Once you get into beekeeping, your view gets a lot bigger,” Liere said. “You see all of the relationships that bees are part of. Without bees, our whole landscape could change.” Pollinators threatened “Honey bees are in peril,” said Nolan. Colony collapse disorder has affected large numbers of beehives throughout the United States and around the world, with 25 to 60 percent of hives lost each winter since 2006. There’s no obvious single cause, but entomologists suspect pathogens, parasites and latent pesticides may all play a role. “Colony collapse disorder has made people aware of the plight of the honey bee and its importance for our food, gardens and flowers,” said Nolan. WSU researchers are working to help honey bees survive. They bring new discoveries to the attention of beekeepers’ associations and are campaigning for a state-of-the-art research center to advance bee science. A healthy hive Before inspecting her hives on a warm June morning, Bowman carefully laid out her equipment, including a burlap-burning smoker that calms the bees, before gently opening the lid and easing out frames filled with comb. “I’m looking for my queen,” she explained. “I’m looking for brood and eggs, and I’m making sure that nothing’s there that I don’t want.” Parasites and predators, including tracheal mites and the invasive varroa mite, can wreak havoc on beehives. So far this spring, though, her new hives are healthy. Bowman, who co-owns a sustainably focused Italian restaurant in the Browne’s Addition neighborhood of Spokane, sees herself as a steward of the earth. “Bees work so hard for us,” she said. “We have a responsibility to the bee.” Resources for getting involved For prospective bee stewards, Bowman’s advice is to get connected. “Beekeepers’ associations can be found all over the world,” she said. “They are your mentors.” Extension courses are another great way to begin the beekeepers’ journey: “I’ve been so lucky that WSU finds bees important enough to do this,” Bowman said.

Early control of volunteer wheat in hail-damaged crop

By Steve Watson, Kansas State University Volunteer wheat doesn’t all emerge at the same time, unfortunately. Some can start emerging early where wheat in the heading stage was damaged by hail, said Dallas Peterson, K-State Research and Extension weed management specialist. Where volunteer is emerging early, producers should consider making their first control measures sooner than they might like, he said. “Producers often like to wait several weeks after harvest before making their first herbicide application to control volunteer wheat,” Peterson noted. “This allows as much volunteer as possible to emerge before spraying it or tilling it the first time. Often, a second application or tillage operation will be needed later in the summer to eliminate the green bridge to wheat.” But where wheat was hailed out and volunteer has already emerged at the time of harvest, control should begin immediately after harvest if possible. “Even if this ends up requiring one more field pass than normal to keep volunteer under control throughout the summer, starting early in this situation will help prevent even bigger problems down the road. It should be noted that grazing volunteer is not an effective control option because there is green wheat material left and the mites survive in that material,” Peterson said. Why the need for early control of volunteer in hailed-out wheat? Where wheat suffered hail damage after heading, volunteer often emerges even before the existing field is harvested – as much as two to three weeks earlier than it would normally emerge after harvest, he said. This volunteer wheat is especially likely to become infected with wheat curl mites and lead to problems later in the season if left uncontrolled, said J.P. Michaud, entomologist at K-State’s Agricultural Research Center in Hays. Wheat curl mites will move off growing wheat as the green tissue dries down and dies, Michaud explained. After moving off the existing wheat at or near harvest time, the mites need to find green tissue of a suitable host soon or they will die of desiccation, he said. “Research has found that the mites can live quite a few hours off the plant, and up to 24 hours under low temperature conditions, so significant numbers of mites may be blown in from farther away than previously thought,” Michaud said. If there is young volunteer wheat growing at the time the current wheat crop is being harvested in the nearby region, the mites can quickly infest those volunteer plants and survive, he said. “If volunteer has emerged and is still alive shortly after harvest in hailed-out wheat, wheat curl mites could easily build up rapidly and spread to other volunteer wheat that emerges later in the season. On the other hand, if this earlyemerging volunteer is controlled shortly after harvest, that will help greatly in breaking the green bridge. If more volunteer emerges during the summer, follow-up control will still be needed,” Michaud said. Volunteer wheat is not the only host of the wheat curl mite, he added. Recent research has evaluated the suitability of wild grasses as hosts for both the curl mite and the wheat streak virus. “Barnyardgrass topped the list in terms of suitability for both virus and mites, but is fortunately not that common in wheat fields. In contrast, green foxtail, although a rather poor host, could be an important disease reservoir simply because of its abundance. Take note of significant stands of these grasses in marginal areas and control them as you would volunteer wheat,” Michaud advised. If volunteer wheat and other hosts are not controlled throughout the summer and are infested with wheat curl mites, the mites will survive until fall and could infest newly planted wheat at that time, he said. Wheat curl mite infestations of wheat often lead to wheat streak mosaic infections. Volunteer wheat also serves as a potential host and green bridge for Hessian fly, greenbugs, bird cherry-oat aphids, and Russian wheat aphids, he added. K-State Research and Extension is a short name for the Kansas State University Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, a program designed to generate and distribute useful knowledge for the well-being of Kansans. Supported by county, state, federal and private funds, the program has county Extension offices, experiment fields, area Extension offices and regional research centers statewide. Its headquarters is on the K-State campus, Manhattan.

Employers stress college grads need strong oral skills

By Iowa State University of Science and Technology News Service Many college graduates are starting their careers and applying what they’ve learned to a position in their field. Regardless of their chosen professions, there are certain skills every student needs to be a successful employee, and those include communication skills – specifically, oral and interpersonal communication. According to a new Iowa State study (http://bcq.sagepub. com/content/early/2016/05/24/2329490616644014.abstract) published in Business and Professional Communication Quarterly, employers recalled oral communication skills more than others for new college graduates. Tina Coffelt, lead author and an assistant professor of communication studies and English, says one-third of employers surveyed identified strong verbal skills more than written, visual or electronic communication skills. The results do not diminish the need for these other skills, but more likely reflect usage. “We talk a lot more than we write and we talk almost subconsciously; it’s just something we have to do to get work done,” Coffelt said. “The other forms of communication are more focused, more strategic. Certainly, some of oral communication is strategic as well, but the day-to-day work of talking on the telephone, with a co-worker down the hall or a customer who walks into a store – there’s just more oral communication.” Electronic skills, while growing in importance, ranked second in the study. Visual communication skills were rarely mentioned. Coffelt says there are several possible explanations as to why. Some employers may view visual skills as a support to other forms of communication, or as less of a priority in some occupations. Electronic skills – primarily email and phone – may be less important to some employers than human interaction, Coffelt said. The data are based on responses from 52 employers in engineering, business, health sciences and social work. Each employer was asked about the type, frequency and manner of communication an intern or new, entry-level hire would use through the course of the workday. The employers identified 165 different communication skills. How to best prepare students? Collecting data that universities and colleges can use to shape curriculum motivated Coffelt to take a different approach. She and co-authors Matt Baker, a doctoral candidate in English; and Robert Corey, a lecturer in English, designed the study so that employers could list the types of communication they required, rather than ranking a set of skills predetermined by the researcher. Oral skills included interpersonal communication, presenting and listening skills, as well as team or group work, Coffelt said. To better prepare students in these areas, Iowa State and several other universities have shifted to a multimodal teaching approach blending all forms of communication – written, oral, visual and electronic – into one course. This is an important step, because it reflects how we simultaneously use these skills at work, Coffelt said. “Previously, students would take an English class to write, a speech class for public speaking or an interpersonal class and that’s all you focus on,” Coffelt said. “As we develop curricular assignments and focus on teaching, we need to recognize that teaching a separate class for each mode does not help students synthesize how different modes of communication weave together.” Coffelt says there also needs to be a stronger emphasis on communication curriculum before students even step foot on campus to make sure they’re prepared for their courses. Technology is one way college instructors can help those students struggling with grammar rules or sentence structure. For example, offering online quizzes or additional assignments to complete outside of class will help students enhance their skills. It also gives instructors the ability to focus on more advanced skills and critical thinking in class, Coffelt said. There are some limitations to research that Coffelt wants to examine in the future. This study looked only at prevalence of skills mentioned, based on employer recall. Coffelt says it would be beneficial to have data on the importance of these skills for employers. Still, employer responses indicate they value effective communication. “When an employee is hired, that person is expected to have a blend of communication skills. Some positions are going to be more technical and may require a greater emphasis on writing skills, but there are hundreds of jobs in which students are going to be expected to have a combination of all skills,” Coffelt said.


Honey bee colonies down 8 percent

Honey bee colonies for operations with five or more colonies in the United States as of January 1, 2016 totaled 2.59 million. This is 8 percent below the 2.82 million colonies on January 1, 2015. During 2015, honey bee colonies on April 1, July 1, and October 1 were 2.85 million, 3.13 million, and 2.87 million, respectively. Honey bee colonies lost for operations with five or more colonies during the quarter of January-March 2016, was 429,000 colonies or 17 percent lost. The quarter of JanuaryMarch 2015 had a loss of 500,000 colonies or 18 percent, the highest honey bee colonies loss of the five quarters. The quarter of April-June 2015, at 353,000 or 12 percent, showed the least amount of lost honey bee colonies. Honey bee colonies added for operations with five or more colonies during the quarter of January-March 2016 was 378,000 colonies. The quarter of April-June 2015, added 662,000 colonies, the highest number of honey bee colonies added of the five quarters. The quarter of October-December 2015, at 117,000, showed the least amount of honey bee colonies added. Honey bee colonies renovated for operations with five or more colonies during the quarter of January-March 2016 was 158,000 colonies or 6 percent. This is the lowest number of colonies renovated during the five quarters. The number of colonies renovated during the quarter of January-March 2015 was 271,000 or 10 percent. The highest number of honey bee colonies renovated for any quarter, at 693,000, occurred during April-June 2015. Renovated colonies are those that were requeened or received new honey bees through nuc or package. Varroa mites were the number one stressor for operations with five or more colonies during each of the quarters surveyed. The quarter of January-March 2016 showed varroa mites at 34.3 percent. The quarter of April-June 2015 showed the highest percentage of varroa mites at 43.4 percent affected. Colonies lost with Colony Collapse Disorder Symptom for operations with five or more colonies were colonies with loss reported that met all of the following criteria: 1) Little to no build-up of dead bees in the hive or at the hive entrance 2) Rapid loss of adult honey bee population despite the presence of queen, capped brood, and food reserves 3) Absence or delayed robbing of the food reserves 4) Loss not attributable to varroa or nosema loads, peaked at 114,000 colonies lost during January-March 2016. That same quarter a year ago showed 92,300 colonies lost. Honey bee colonies with less than five colonies Honey bee colonies for operations with less than five colonies in the United States on January 1, 2015 were 50,000. Honey bee colonies on April 1, July 1, and October 1, 2015 were 43,000, 52,000, and 49,000, respectively. Honey bee colonies lost for operations with less than five colonies during the quarter of January-March 2015, was 15,500 colonies, the highest honey bee colonies loss during 2015. The quarter of April-June 2015, at 5,500, showed the least amount of lost honey bee colonies during the year. Honey bee colonies added for operations with less than five colonies during the quarter of April-June 2015, was 15,000 colonies, the highest honey bee colonies added during the year. The quarter of October-December 2015, at 860, showed the least amount of added honey bee colonies. Honey bee colonies renovated for operations with less than five colonies varied by quarter. The highest number of honey bee colonies renovated for any quarter, at 3,800, occurred during April-June 2015. The quarter of OctoberDecember 2015, with 470, was the lowest number of honey bee colonies renovated for any quarter. Unknown colony health stressors, at 20.8 percent, was the highest for operations with less than five colonies during 2015. Varroa mites was the next ranked stressor at 19.8 percent. Colonies lost with Colony Collapse Disorder Symptoms for operations with less than five colonies were colonies with loss reported that meet all of the following criteria: 1) Little to no build-up of dead bees in the hive or at the hive entrance 2) Rapid loss of adult honey bee population despite the presence of queen, capped brood, and food reserves 3) Absence or delayed robbing of the food reserves 4) Loss not attributable to varroa or nosema loads, totaled 7,000 colonies during 2015. ##### Steel wool pads make an excellent cleaner for your whitewall tires.

Equine pasture grazing problems CONTINUED FROM PAGE B18

days. Some species of plants that are known to accumulate nitrates include Johnsongrass, sorghum, sweet clover, bromegrass, orchardgrass, lambsquarter, oat hay, rape, barley, wheat and corn. Hay may continue to be dangerous as the accumulated nitrates decrease slowly over time (Stanton, 1995). Low levels of nitrates can cause abortion without any other symptoms. Severely affected animals develop muscle tremors, lose coordination and become weak. Moving these animals will initiate difficult breathing commonly followed by collapse and death. Nitrate poisoning is often confused with prussic acid poisoning but is distinguished by a marked difference in blood color of affected animals. Animals poisoned by nitrates will have chocolate brown blood while those poisoned by prussic acid will have bright red blood. Treatment by a veterinarian can be effective if initiated early. Prevention includes mixing affected forages with normal forages to dilute the nitrate levels. Raising the cutter bar 10-12 inches to avoid cutting the lower one-third of the plant and not cutting drought-stressed forages for several days after a rain also helps reduce problems. If high nitrate levels are suspected, samples of the forage should be submitted to a competent laboratory for analysis before the forage is fed. Horses can tolerate a higher amount of nitrate levels in feed than cattle. Prussic acid poisoning Prussic acid poisoning is caused by a poison called cyanide that can be produced in several types of plants under certain growing conditions. All species of farm animals may be affected with this acute poisoning. The plants most commonly involved in prussic acid poisoning are Johnsongrass, sudangrass, common sorghum, in addition to black cherry and choke cherry. Johnsongrass is the most toxic of the sorghums and commonly causes poisoning when subjected to frost or drought conditions. Very young, rapidly growing plants are more likely to produce the poison. Feeding or grazing of these forages should be delayed until they are more mature. Feeding forages following heavy nitrogen fertilization, plant injury by trampling or stunting of plant growth due to adverse weather should be avoided. If large amounts of forages containing prussic acid are eaten, death can occur within a few minutes. Excess salivation, difficult breathing, muscle tremors and rapid heart rate all signal the onset of prussic acid poisoning. Shortly after these symptoms are seen the animal may go down and death will likely occur due to respiratory paralysis. Animals that live one to two hours after the onset of these signs will usually recover. Prussic acid is quite volatile and there is little danger from feeding well-cured hay. The following prevention measures will best control the problem: Do not graze pastures that are less than 18-24 inches tall or green chop plants over 18 inches tall for three days after a killing frost. Feed grain before allowing animals to graze fields that may be high in prussic acid. Colic from Alfalfa Colic from grazing in Alfalfa pastures is commonly involved in causing cattle to bloat. Cattle in early stages of bloat will show signs of abdominal pain, which include restlessness and kicking at the belly. Legumes tend to produce gas in the Equine digestive system. Horse do not bloat but do colic just another name for a sever stomachache. Metabolic Disorders related to feeding forages: Because horses are living longer we are having reports of metabolic and hormonal

dysfunction (Peripheral Cushing’s disease) in horses. Clinical signs of metabolic syndrome include obesity-associated laminitis and abnormal fat deposition. In addition, insulin resistance appears to be one of the criteria defining metabolic syndrome. When a horse has a history of chronic laminitis, the first concern would be addressing the metabolic issues contributing to the problem, usually obesity and/or pituitary dysfunction, both of which are treatable. Insulin resistance Horses that are truly insulin resistant/glucose intolerant there is no one “type” of hay guaranteed not to trigger a bout of laminitis. It depends more on the harvest conditions, not the species of grass, whether a batch of hay contains sufficient non-structural carbohydrates (NSC: starches, water soluble sugars and fructans) to cause problems. Most horses tolerate more than 20% NSC without adverse effects, and most grass hays, especially those from the Eastern states, contain only 7-18% NSC, with an average of 12%. Even legume hays, on average, contain less than 15% NSC. Oat hay, on the other hand, averages 22% NSC. (Equi-Analytical Laboratories’ web site.) Grasses accumulate NSC throughout the day, with the highest concentrations achieved late in the day if the sun shines. If temperatures are above freezing and adequate water is present, NSC are converted to cellulose and other structural carbohydrates overnight, resulting in very low sugar concentrations by daybreak. If this process is disrupted by drought or freezing temperatures overnight, NSC concentrations can increase significantly. The grasses continue to “respire” after cutting until the hay is baled and “cured.” The longer the hay is dried in the field, the lower the NSC will be. Sugars and fructans are water soluble, so if the hay is rained on or soaked in water, the overall NSC will also be reduced. “Warm season” grasses, such as coastal Bermuda and crabgrass, tend to accumulate lesser amounts of sugars than the “cool season” grasses like fescue, orchard grass, and timothy under adverse conditions. If a horse is sensitive to NSC content, the “safest” hays are coastal Bermuda or timothy cut early in the day, after a warm night and recent rainfall. Hay dried in the field for at least a day or two--even rained on a bit--is considered safer. Western hay producers tend to cut their hay later in the day to prevent excessive drying, and they bale more quickly than is possible in the humid East, all of which tends to preserve a higher NSC content. Laminitis Laminitis is inflammation within the sensitive laminae of the feet. It can occur for many reasons, but as a nutritional problem it is commonly linked to grain-rich diets, ingestion of too much rich pasture, and obesity. Grain overload or a diet rich in high-carbohydrate feed (grain or lush pasture) initiates a series of metabolic and endocrine (hormone) disturbances in the body. A diet abundant in carbohydrates upsets normal intestinal bacteria, allowing more endotoxins from harmful bacteria to be absorbed into the bloodstream than can be neutralized by the liver. In Conclusion, when feeding horse forages there are a few things to keep in mind. There are molds and fungi that can produce toxins in forages that can make your horse sick or cause death. Learn to recognize clinical signs, and understand climatic conditions that may cause plants to be affected. Buy feeds and hays from reputable dealers and lab test suspicious feed.

Buddy the horse

An out-of-towner drove his car into a ditch in a desolated area. Luckily, a local farmer came to help with his big strong horse named Buddy. He hitched Buddy up to the car and yelled, “Pull, Nellie, pull.” Buddy didn’t move. Then the farmer hollered, “Pull, Buster, pull.” Buddy didn’t respond. Once more the farmer commanded, “Pull, Jennie, pull.” Nothing. Then the farmer nonchalantly said, “Pull, Buddy, pull.” And the horse easily dragged the car out of the ditch. The motorist was most appreciative and very curious. He asked the farmer why he called his horse by the wrong name three times. The farmer said, “Oh, Buddy is blind, and if he thought he was the only one pulling, he wouldn’t even try!”

Gardening delights children and promotes good nutrition

By Julie Garden-Robinson, Food and Nutrition Specialist, NDSU Extension Service I felt like a magician the other day, but I wasn’t pulling a rabbit out of a hat. I pulled three radishes out of the ground in a children’s garden, much to the delight of the preschoolers. One radish was red, one was light purple and one was white. The radishes were supposed to be those colors, by the way. We have interesting varieties of radishes, carrots and other vegetables available to plant. As the children looked in wonderment at the food coming out of the ground, the situation reminded me of my 18-yearold daughter in her younger years. She liked to examine the plants in our garden, sometimes on an hourly basis. “Aren’t they ready yet?” she asked, pointing at the abundant foliage in several container gardens on our deck. She was about 8 at the time. “Potatoes take a long time to grow,” I answered. “But they’re really big and they have flowers!” she noted enthusiastically as she studied the potato plants in a halfbarrel planter. I thought I might have to throw my body over the planter to protect the plants from being pulled out of the soil by my daughter. “We need to be patient, and our potatoes will be worth the wait. We will have tomatoes and peppers very soon, though. We can try a bell pepper. Let’s visit the farmers market for some fresh corn, too,” I replied. She was quite amazed when we dug the potatoes. I had planted purplish-blue potatoes. Through the years, I have involved my kids in planting, preserving and cooking foods we grew, just as I helped my parents. My little experiment at home has paid off with adolescents and a young adult who eat their vegetables. Researchers have shown that children who help tend to a garden eat more vegetables as a result. Even if you don’t have a garden, you may have the opportunity to enjoy fresh, locally grown fruits and vegetables at the many farmers markets and roadside stands that are sprouting across the region. Some grocery stores also sell locally grown produce. Farmers markets are fun to visit and provide delicious beginnings for family meals. They give children an opportunity to learn about food, nutrition and food preparation if you enlist their assistance. According to MyPlate, which is the current icon of healthful eating, we need about 2.5 cups of vegetables and 2 cups of fruit daily to meet the recommendations. Many people shortchange themselves on dark green and orange vegetables, so be sure to make those a priority. Dark green leaf lettuce, spinach, broccoli, squash and pumpkins can fill that void and provide a variety of vitamins and minerals in our diet. The rest of the rainbow of fruits and vegetables also have health benefits. See https://www.ag.ndsu.edu/pubs/yf/foods/ fn595.pdf to read “What Color is Your Food?” Try these tips to help you choose the best quality produce and other foods at a market. Select an amount that you can use within a short time to avoid spoilage and waste. • If you’re picking your own, be sure to bring clean containers or bags. • Look for produce that is free from unusual odors or colors and signs of spoilage, such as mold. • Handle produce gently to reduce bruising. Bacteria can thrive in the bruised areas. • Don’t worry if the fresh produce is not “picture perfect” in shape and size. It still has the same nutrition. • When buying cut produce, be sure it’s refrigerated and keep it cold during transport. Keep it in a cooler with ice if traveling a long distance. • If custard-containing fruit pies are for sale at an outdoor food stand, be sure they haven’t been allowed to stand in the sun. These are perishable items and should be stored cold. I didn’t have this recipe with kid appeal back in the days when my daughter was watching potatoes grow, but she still loves potatoes. Potatoes are among the best sources of potassium, plus they have many other nutrients. CONTINUED ON PAGE B23

Wyoming Homemakers recognize Niobrara County extension educator

By University of Wyoming Extension Converting the county’s extension office into the command center during the 2015 floods, securing a grant to pay for a high tunnel to teach residents horticulture and leading the nutrition and food safety team has drawn special recognition for a Niobrara County University of Wyoming (UW) Extension educator. The Wyoming Homemakers in June recognized 40-year educator Denise Smith for her educational and leadership roles in Niobrara County and across Wyoming. Smith is a nutrition and food safety educator for Converse, Natrona and Niobrara counties and is a 4-H educator in Niobrara County. She has served as adviser to the homemaker’s association since 1979. “There is no doubt Denise is a leader in the community and in UW Extension,” noted Arlene Rapp, former president of the Wyoming Homemakers for many years, who presented the honor. Rapp said Smith’s focus is on nutrition and food safety but, “When a need arises, Denise readily accepts the challenge of either teaching classes or finding the perfect person to come in and assist the community and meeting its educational needs.” Rapp noted Smith’s roles in: • Securing a 1 percent capital facilities tax to expand the Niobrara County fairgrounds. • Securing a high tunnel grant for growing vegetables and efforts to teach residents gardening and food preservation. • Contributing to success of Food Expo projects and writing curriculum for school programs like “Eating Your Way Through Wyoming History” and her involvement in Healthy Heart programs and nutrition education for those with diabetes. • Providing guidance and support to the Wyoming Homemakers. • Converting the fairgrounds to a command center during last year’s floods in Niobrara County. • Educational programs for 4-H’ers during the summer Family and Consumer Sciences days The state homemakers made Smith an honorary Quealy Award recipient in 2006. Washakie County extension educator Phyllis Lewis said the honor recognizes women who are recognized leaders in the extension homemakers program and who are devoted to promoting and expanding the home economics extension program. Smith has a special knack for observing the needs of a community and developing educational programming to enhance the lives of the people, said Rapp. She is a positive example for youths, volunteers and peers, she added. “She typically remains in the background, never wanting to take credit for all she does,” said Rapp. “She is most humble and simply wants to do what is best for those she serves.”

Potato Hedgehogs 4 medium russet potatoes 2 Tbsp. canola oil 1 Tbsp. ranch seasoning mix Handful raisins Preheat oven to 425 F. Wash and dry potatoes. Leaving one-fourth of the potato uncut (to form the head), use a knife to make cuts lengthwise along the potato about two-thirds of the way deep. Turn potato and make cuts across two-thirds of the way deep. You should have a checkerboard pattern. Repeat the process with remaining potatoes. Mix oil and seasoning in a bowl. Brush each potato with the oil mixture. Bake for 45 minutes or until potatoes are tender. The cuts should separate slightly to form the hedgehog’s prickles. Allow to cool for a few minutes. Using a small knife, cut two crosses on the head portion for eyes. Put the raisins into each cross. Serve immediately. Makes four servings. Each serving has 250 calories, 7 grams (g) fat, 5 g protein, 43 g carbohydrate, 4 g fiber and 15 milligrams sodium. ##### Remember that silence is sometimes the best answer.

##### The bovine’s complex, 4-compartment stomach enables it to digest and convert all types of vegetation indigestible by humans, into energy and important “building blocks” of the body. The simple human system cannot utilize vegetation efficiently, and therefore these potentially valuable resources would be wasted if we didn’t get them from another source.

From August through November, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) will conduct its monthly Agricultural Yield Surveys. NASS will reach out to hundreds of producers in Arizona, Colorado, Montana, New Mexico, Utah, and Wyoming to accurately measure row crops and hay production throughout the growing season. August is also the final month small grains production data is collected in the monthly Ag Yield Survey. “The Agricultural Yield Survey is the primary tool used by NASS to track and report monthly crop yield changes that may occur due to weather, pests or other factors,” said Bill Meyer, Director of the NASS Mountain Regional Field Office. “By responding to this survey, farmers will provide data that allows the USDA to accurately track crop production throughout the growing season.” All sectors of the agricultural industry rely on NASS yield and production estimates to make sound business decisions. Producers use the estimates to develop marketing plans for their operations and determine what to produce and how and when to sell it. Agribusinesses that provide inputs and services to producers also use the estimates to develop future marketing strategies. USDA agencies use the crop yield data to determine crop insurance and disaster aid payments along with other program benefits. The initial survey asks farmers how many acres of row crops and hay they intend to harvest, and their expected yield per acre. In subsequent months, NASS asks the same farmers to update their expected yield per acre. This ensures the information collected captures any month-to-month changes. For their convenience, survey participants will have the option to respond by phone, online, or by mail. “This is a great opportunity for all farmers who receive the survey to make an impact, both locally and at the national level, which is why I hope every farmer will take the opportunity and respond to this important survey,” said Meyer. NASS will compile, analyze and publish survey results in the monthly Crop Production report, and publish final yield and production data in January 2017 in the Annual Crop Production report. These and all NASS reports are available online at http://www.nass.usda.gov/Publications/. Canola Acreage, Yield and Production by Counties and Districts, 2014-2015

US wheat exports start 2016/17 fairly strong

By Stephanie Bryant-Erdmann, USW Market Analyst U.S. commercial sales for marketing year 2016/17, which began June 1, are off to a welcome start. As of July 7, U.S. wheat export sales for all classes totaled 8.78 MMT, up 35 percent from export sales on the same date in 2015/16. USDA now expects 2016/17 exports to total 25.2 MMT, up 19 percent from 2015/16, noting that this would be the highest volume in three years. USDA reported hard red winter (HRW) year-to-date exports at 3.29 MMT, up 86 percent from the prior year. Significantly higher demand from Brazil is expected this year after rain delayed harvest and damaged wheat quality in both Brazil and Argentina, normally Brazil’s top supplier. As of July 7, HRW sales to Brazil totaled 232,000 MT, more than double the volume to Brazil at the same time last year. Sales to Mexico are also up 81 percent year over year due to more competitive pricing. To date, Chilean and Peruvian HRW sales are already greater than total 2015/16 HRW sales. Sales of soft red winter (SRW) for 2016/17 are down 35 percent year over year at 827,000 MT, due in part to smaller carry-in stocks of milling quality SRW and early market perceptions about a recurrence of quality issues in this year’s crop. However, with nearly half of the 2016/17 SRW production safely in the bin, quality looks much improved. Sales to some Latin American countries, including Honduras, El Salvador and Costa Rica are slightly ahead of last year’s pace. Hard red spring (HRS) sales of 3.02 MMT are up 53 percent year over year. As of July 7, buyers in the Philippines purchased 437,000 MT, nearly double their volume last year at the same time. The Philippines is the top HRS buyer, and sales to eight of the top ten HRS customers are also ahead of last year’s pace. Sales to the European Union (EU) of 157,000 MT are nearly triple last year’s sales on the same date. Year to date sales to Venezuela of 145,000 MT are nearly equal to total 2015/16 HRS sales. As of July 7, exports of soft white (SW) wheat are up 27 percent year over year at 1.51 MMT. Sales to the top three SW customers — Philippines, Japan and South Korea — are all ahead of 2015/16 pace. U.S. SW sales to Thailand and Indonesia are also up. Year-to-date, Indonesia has purchased 110,000 MT, up from 42,000 MT on the same date in 2015/16. Thailand sales are up 57 percent year over year at 74,000 MT. High prices continue to constrain durum exports. Year to date durum exports total 128,000 MT, down 54 percent from the same time last year. To date, Nigeria, the EU, Guatemala and Panama are the top durum buyers. A significant portion of these 2016/17 sales are designated as “sales to unknown designations.”

role, he oversaw an integrated program in teaching, research and extension. He retired in 2013. The Pioneer Award recognizes those who have made lasting contributions to the improvement of beef cattle and honors those who have had a major role in acceptance of performance reporting and documentation as the primary means to make genetic change in beef cattle, according to the BIF. A native of Donovan, Illinois, Hixon earned his bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral degrees in animal science at the University of Illinois. Hixon’s research interest was in the area of beef cattle production and management with emphasis on reproduction and nutrition and their interaction. He focused on the effects of heifer development and management of 2-year-old firstcalf heifers on future production under range conditions. In addition, applied research was directed toward evaluation of the effects management and cowherd winter nutrition programs have on production and reproductive efficiency. He received the Distinguished Service Award from the Western Section, American Society of Animal Science, and also received the UW President’s Faculty Stewardship Award for building external relationships and promoting fundraising programs. Hixon served as the BIF Western Region secretary from 1986-1994. He was a recipient of the BIF Continuing Service Award in 1996. More than 600 beef producers, academia and industry representatives were in attendance at the organization’s 48th annual convention.


National S’mores Day

Date When Celebrated: Always on August 10th S’mores are a favorite campsite treat for young and old kids. If you’re at a campfire, chances are, there’s S’mores. Sticky and gooey, and loaded with sugar and carbs, S’mores are nothing short of delicious. Who was the first person to create S’mores? We don’t know. But, we’re all sure glad they did! National S’mores Day celebrates this tasty summer treat. It’s appropriately observed in August...campfire prime time. Don’t limit your consumption of S’ores to the campfire. They are popular with kids year round, and can be baked in the oven, or microwave. The origin of S’mores dates back to the 1920’s. It’s believed the recipe was created by the Campfire Girls. Girl Scouts soon discovered it, and found it to be choclatey delicious. Before long, S’mores became a campfire staple for everyone. S’more folklore suggests that S’mores got its name right by the campfire. After eating one, young kids chanted “gimme some more!” While much is written about National S’mores Day, our research has been unable to verify that this is an officially recognized national day (which requires an act of Congress). Don’t let that stop you from celebrating this day with a few S’mores.

A stronger and more diverse federal crop insurance program has provided America’s diverse agricultural producers and rural communities with a reliable farm safety net that keeps the economy strong even after severe weather destroys crops. The program, managed by USDA’s Risk Management Agency (RMA), has expanded options and availability over the past seven years, focusing on improved options for small and diverse farm operations, organic producers, beginning farmers and ranchers, and those struggling with years of repeated drought and providing the protections they need to continue farming. “For years RMA has painstakingly worked to ensure that crop insurance worked for all farmers growing in all regions,” RMA Administrator Brandon Willis said. “We are seeing those efforts pay dividends with a very diverse crop insurance program that is meeting the needs of farmers nationwide. Crop insurance will continue to provide the nation’s producers the assurance they need to keep agriculture strong, and our rural communities working, even in difficult times.” In 2016, the federal crop insurance program includes more than 118,000 coverage options for 543 varieties of crops, nearly doubling from the from roughly 64,000 different coverage options that were available in 2009. The total crop insurance liability rose from $79.5 billion to $102.4 billion over the same period. In 2015 alone, RMA was able to help 13,719 beginning farmers and ranchers working more than 3.5 million acres get their operations off the ground and save more than $14 million through reduced premiums and waived fees. As coverage expanded and new tools provided better protection and increased flexibility, RMA also has taken steps to strengthen program integrity. RMA reduced its improper payment rate by more than half, from 5.6 percent in 2014 to 2.2 percent in 2015, well below the government-wide improper payment average of 4.39 percent. “We have redoubled our efforts to ensure that the crop insurance program is free of abuse,” Willis said. “Cutting our improper payment rate in half demonstrates our commitment to operating a well ran program that protects both taxpayers and farmers.” RMA estimates that 85 percent of planted acreage for major crops is now covered by crop insurance, while 73 percent of planted acreage for eligible specialty crops is covered. The number of acres covered by crop insurance increased from 264.7 million for 2009 to 297 million for 2015. Coverage for fruit, vegetables, and other specialty crops alone has grown from 7.7 million acres in 2009 to nearly 8.3 million acres in 2015. With many farm operations facing years of drought, new tools mandated by the 2014 Farm Bill like the Supplemental Coverage Option and the APH Yield Exclusion have been developed to help farmers determine the level of protection needed for their operations. Both programs were implemented and expanded quickly by RMA to include many more crops than expected, including fruit, vegetables, and other specialty crops. Preliminary estimates suggest nearly 1,000 fruit, vegetable, and other specialty crop policyholders are taking advantage of APH Yield Exclusion for 2016 that allows producers to have better insurance coverage. RMA has also expanded access to crop insurance options for organic producers through new and innovative programs, including the Whole-Farm Revenue Protection policy, and coverage options that allow organic farmers to protect their products at the market value. In fact, the number of crops eligible for organic premium pricing went from four in 2011 to 57 for the 2016 crop year. The number of acres insured by organic producers grew from 576,700 in 2009 to more than one million in 2015. When crop prices are low, access to credit is critical for farmers to manage risk. Producers who purchase federal crop insurance have better access to credit and are often able to receive lower loan interest rates. This helps strengthen the rural economy and ensures the community can outlast years of severe weather. An efficient delivery of the program helps reduce taxpayer costs for selling and servicing policies. RMA manages and regulates the activities of the 17 private crop insurance companies and their more than 15,000 agents who work with the farmers and ranchers to secure coverage, assess losses and file claims. As crop insurance products have expanded to include more commodities and more flexibility for today’s farmers, CONTINUED ON PAGE C3

the public-private model has worked well to meet the obligations of the government to provide an effective farm safety net. Because the private sector is able to adjust more quickly than the federal government to urgent needs and adapt more quickly to change, this relationship provides accountability and efficiency for the crop insurance program. The public-private relationship provides reliability for farmers and taxpayers alike, as the federal government stands behind the insurance products it offers and reinsures the companies that provide claim payments quickly. For more information about the federal crop insurance program, contact a local crop insurance agent. A list is available at all USDA Service Centers and online. More information on risk management tools available for farmers and ranchers can be found on the RMA website. Since 2009, USDA has worked to strengthen and support American agriculture, an industry that supports one in 11 American jobs, provides American consumers with more than 80 percent of the food we consume, ensures that Americans spend less of their paychecks at the grocery store than most people in other countries, and supports markets for homegrown renewable energy and materials. USDA has also provided $5.6 billion in disaster relief to farmers and ranchers; expanded risk management tools with products like Whole Farm Revenue Protection; and helped farm businesses grow with $36 billion in farm credit. The Department has engaged its resources to support a strong next generation of farmers and ranchers by improving access to land and capital; building new markets and market opportunities; and extending new conservation opportunities. USDA has developed new markets for rural-made products, including more than 2,500 biobased products through USDA’s BioPreferred program; and invested $64 billion in infrastructure and community facilities to help improve the quality of life in rural America.

Table etiquette 101

By Julie Garden-Robinson, Food and Nutrition Specialist, NDSU Extension Service “Mom, just because they put it on your plate doesn’t mean you have to eat it,” my 12-year-old commented as we sat at a table at a culinary college in another state. Every time I finished a slice of fresh bread, one of the attentive culinary students placed another slice on my plate. I finally asked them to remove the plate. My husband, our daughters and I were having fun in a fancy student-run restaurant complete with white linen tablecloths and napkins, but without the fancy price tag. Our daughters giggled when the students arrived with the small table-cleaning brush to remove the bread crumbs. We don’t have that type of tool in our home. Only one item did not agree with my palate during our three-course meal. A student came by with a platter of beautiful appetizers, but she was very soft-spoken and I did not catch what she said when she placed one on my plate. It had a base of bread, a tan-colored filling and some tiny pieces of chopped beet on top. “What did she say this is?” I asked my husband quietly. “I have no idea,” he replied. We both took a bite simultaneously. I wish I could have seen the grimace on my face because my family laughed. We still didn’t know what we ate. I asked the next attentive student who came by with our soup course. “That was duck foie gras,” he replied. I recognized the term. I had just eaten the pureed liver of a fattened duck, and it is considered a delicacy to some. Spoiler alert: Duck liver will not be featured in a recipe in this column now or ever. Having taught many food classes, I was entertained by the instructors walking by to check if the students had placed the utensils properly on the table. The students served from the left and removed plates from the right. Class was in session around us and we also were instructing our daughters about table etiquette. “We should have dressed up for lunch,” our older daughter commented. She and her sister were dressed in shorts and T-shirts because this was a spur-of-the-moment plan. Our daughters were studying us carefully, so I was trying to be on my best behavior. My elbows never touched the table. I put my napkin in my lap, and they dutifully followed suit. This was fun, sort of like a pantomime version of “Simon says.” We had an entire lineup of utensils to use and a variety of glasses, which was more complicated than the average meal in the Robinson household. “Just work from the outside to the center when you are using the utensils,” my husband noted. “The salad fork is on the left side farthest from the plate and the dinner fork is closer to the plate,” I added in a quiet voice. “Your soup spoon is the farthest utensil on the right. Be sure to scoop your soup away from you and don’t slurp.” We had a “dining experience” as we enjoyed our meal. Eating more slowly allows time to enjoy food and provides an opportunity for your brain and stomach to connect. I cut a couple of bites from my roasted chicken and asparagus main course. Mealtime etiquette varies a bit depending on where you live. According to some standard meal etiquette rules, the napkin stays in your lap until the end of the meal and then gets placed to the left of the plate. You do not need to refold it. Using a cellphone at the table is considered bad etiquette, so I curbed my desire to do some quick checking about etiquette. The way that forks and knives are managed at the table varies by location. Most people in the U.S. use “American style” handling of knives and forks. When cutting meat, right-handed people hold the fork in their left hand and cut with their knife with their right hand. Then they swap the position of the utensils to eat. In “continental style” dining, the fork remains in the left hand, tines down, and the knife in the right hand. You do not switch hands, and you do not set your utensils down. To me, this would be like eating “left handed,” which might be a good diet plan because the food would fall off the fork before reaching my mouth. I probably wouldn’t starve. In continental style, when you need a drink of water, you put both utensils down, crossing the knife over the fork. I could not remember the exact position the knife and fork needed to be on my plate to signal we were done. I looked over my shoulder at the people at the next table and CONTINUED ON PAGE C9


Table etiquette 101 CONTINUED FROM PAGE C8

followed their lead. Their utensils seemed to be at about the 4:20 position, if you think of plates as a clock face. (They knew what they were doing.) Signaling you are “resting” before continuing to eat can be shown in many ways, but the knife and fork are kept on the plate. If you like to host fancy dinner parties, you can find “rules” in many cookbooks, especially older cookbooks with an entertaining guide. For example, passing the salt and pepper together is a good rule. Technically, you should not salt and pepper food without tasting it first. I recommend having a dining experience now and then. Here’s a recipe fairly similar to my main course at the culinary school. Rosemary Roasted Chicken 1 (3-pound) whole chicken Salt and pepper (as desired) 1 small onion, quartered 1/4 c. chopped fresh rosemary Preheat oven to 350 F. Season the chicken with salt and pepper as desired. Stuff the cavity with rosemary and onion. Place in a roasting pan or large baking dish. To prevent drying out and browning, you may want to cover the chicken loosely with aluminum foil. Roast for two to 2 1/2 hours, until juices run clear and the internal temperature is 165 F. Baste the chicken a couple of times during roasting with the juices in the pan. A 3-ounce portion of roasted chicken (about the size of a deck of cards) without skin and without added salt has 150 calories, 7 grams (g) fat, 20 g protein, 0 g carbohydrate, 0 g fiber and 80 milligrams sodium.

Science detectives investigate a ‘mitey’ big problem

By Jan Suszkiw, Agricultural Research Service U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) scientists are hot on the trail of a honey bee killer, and their detective work has taken them from hives in Tucson, Arizona, to those in Bismarck, North Dakota. Led by Agricultural Research Service (ARS) supervisory research entomologist Gloria DeGrandi-Hoffman, the team is staking out the entrances of victimized hives, eyeing the comings and goings of foraging honey bees that they suspect may be unwitting accomplices. Instead of cordoning off the sites with crime-scene tape, the scientists are blocking access to the hives using cut lengths of PVC pipe with a slit about midway down. There, a sliding wire-mesh door separates incoming bees from outgoing ones. None of the busy little winged bearers of pollen and nectar will get by without inspection-and for good reason: the researchers suspect the bees are physically harboring their target: an oval-shaped, pinhead-sized parasite called the Varroa mite. The Varroa mite is public enemy number one to not only honey bees nationwide, but also the 90-plus flowering crops that depend on the insects to pollinate them, including apples, almonds, blueberries and cantaloupe. The team’s investigations in Bismarck this June are actually a follow-up study to the one they completed last year at two Arizona sites. Findings from that study suggest that bees can bolster their hives’ existing mite population by carrying in Varroas from other colonies-an influx that most often occurs in the fall, especially November. Varroa populations grow slowly because females produce only three to five offspring. If mite populations in colonies are low, then they should remain that way for at least a season before chemicals called “miticides” need to be applied, explains DeGrandi-Hoffman, who leads ARS’s Carl Hayden Bee Research Center in Tucson. Sometimes, though, Varroa numbers soar to potentially hive-wrecking levels during the fall. To the researchers, this suggested that factors other than mite reproduction were involved-namely, “mite migration” via foraging bees and wayward “drifters” from other colonies. At the Arizona hive sites, this influx of migrating mites correlated to population increases of 227 to 336 percent, starting in November. The findings appeared in the February 2016 issue of Experimental and Applied Acarology (http://link.springer.com/journal/10493). In addition to further investigation at a Bismarck apiary, the researchers will also evaluate placing hives in refrigerated storage in the fall to head off mite migration into colonies. They’ll determine the strategy’s effectiveness based on whether it reduces the need for miticide applications, keeps Varroa populations low and results in high winter survival rates for colony members. ARS is USDA’s principal intramural scientific research agency.

Body language

In the wild, horses use body language to communicate with the rest of the herd. A horse confronted by something frightening or potentially dangerous will analyze the threat and respond according to the perceived seriousness of the danger. Startle response: The horse raises its head to look and listen intently. It pricks up its ears and points them forward, flares it nostrils to take in potentially informative smells, and opens its eyes wide to see as much as possible. If it perceives a threat, it may back off in a nervous way and start pawing the ground while still trying to figure out what is going on. It may also snort, raise its tail, and prance about, then either wheel around on its hind legs and gallop away or stand and face the threat. Display of aggression: If the threat is another horse, it may display aggression. This involves thrusting its head forward, with ears back, nostrils wrinkled up and back, and perhaps baring its teeth. If the threat remains, the horse may move forward, with its head low and neck stretched out, ready to lunge at the threat if necessary. Attack: If the horse intruder does not withdraw, a fight may ensue. The horses will bite at each anywhere within reach. Males, in particular, often rear up with flailing forelegs, trying to come down onto the back of their opponent and get them down onto the ground where they can be trampled and kicked. Some horses, particularly mares, may also back into each other, kicking out with their hind feet.

By Jan Suszkiw, Agricultural Research Service Look up the word “bumble,” and the definition may read something like “To move or act in a confused, awkward or clumsy manner.” But the bumble bee, a member of the genus Bombus, is anything but clumsy. In fact, the insects are expert aviators, alighting with precision inside flowers and vigorously shaking pollen loose from their stamens. Some bumble bee species are pollinating professionals on par with honey bees. At the Agricultural Research Service’s (ARS) Pollinating Insect-Biology, Management, Systematics Research Unit in Logan, Utah, scientists are conducting multi-faceted studies on Bombus species of all shapes, sizes and colors to ensure their wellbeing and usefulness to agriculture—especially in pollinating greenhouse-grown plants, primarily tomatoes. One project, the USBombus database, actually arose out of concern over the national decline of four Bombus species—including the western bumble bee, Bombus occidentalis, which had been reared commercially up until the early 2000s, notes James Strange, an ARS entomologist in Logan. USBombus—the largest database of a contemporary North American bumble bee survey—was created in 2010, following a three-year effort by Strange and other ARS and university scientists to assess the abundance and distribution of wild Bombus populations across a wide range of habitats. These included urban, agricultural and natural environments, such as alpine forests and prairies. Housed at the Logan lab as part of the U.S. National Pollinating Insects Collection, the database originally stored information on 17,930 adult bumble bee specimens collected from 41 states and representing 39 total Bombus species. That number has expanded to over 80,000 specimens and counting, as more historic and current collections are added, notes Strange. Some of the latest specimens include a few he collected and identified this past May while he was participating in Centennial Bioblitz events hosted by the U.S. National Park Service at the North Cascades and Olympic national parks in Washington State. The data—which include the bee specimens’ species name, sex, caste, location, collector, preferred plants and other information—have proven useful on several fronts, including taxonomic studies and monitoring of Bombus populations to ascertain their health and “conservation status” by groups such as the International Union for the Conservation of Nature. (“Conservation status” refers to the likelihood of a species’ future survival in the face of habitat loss, disease and other threats.)

Horse breeds fall into four categories: ponies, coldbloods, hotbloods, and warmbloods. Ponies: Pony breeds are defined as being under 14.2 hands–under 58 inches. Many pony breeds have developed in the wild, and this has led to a natural hardiness that is not found in most horse breeds. Coldbloods: Usually refers to the large, bulky, draft horse breeds, such as the Shire, Clydesdale, and Belgian. These horses are known to be docile and insensitive, and are often called gentle giants. Hotbloods: Usually refers to Arabians, Thoroughbreds, and other horses of oriental origin. These horses are known to be energetic and sensitive, or hot. Warmbloods: Originally a cross between a hotblood and a coldblood, resulting in a trainable, athletic horse, often used as a sport horse for dressage, jumping, eventing, and so on. European breeders have warmblood registries that represent particular lineage, such as Hanoverian, Holsteiner, Oldenburg, Trakehner, Dutch Warmblood, and Swedish Warmblood. These European horses are highly sought after in other countries, resulting in a large exportation market. ##### Most horses have dark-colored feet. A horse with a white leg marking can have a white hoof. Some horsemen believe that white hooves tend to be less hardy, subject to chipping.

If concerned about the nitrate concentration of your lawn grass, or any other forages, send a sample into a lab for analysis. It will cost less than $20. Grass high in nitrates may still be fed if mixed thoroughly with other feeds. Ensiling Preserves Nutritional Value, Lowers Nitrates Ensiling forages can reduce nitrate levels by 40 to 60 percent; however, testing the silage for nitrates before feeding is still a good idea. Ensiling is a way of storing forages in anaerobic conditions (no oxygen) that preserves their nutritional value. Bacteria ferment the sugars and starches in grass and produce lactic and acetic acids. Successful ensiling requires grass that has a moisture content of 60-70 percent and a sealed environment that excludes oxygen. After several weeks of fermenting, silage should have a pH below 4.5, a slight vinegar odor, and be light green to yellow in color. Pesticides and poisonous plants are other considerations when feeding grass clippings to livestock.

Kansas weather data system expands

By Mary Lou Peter, K-State Research and Extension They may look like something E.T. put together to phone home, but the surprisingly sturdy weather stations being installed around Kansas quietly detect and record precipitation, air temperature, soil temperature, relative humidity, wind direction and speed, and solar radiation. The stations are part of Kansas Mesonet, an expanding network of weather stations that collect data for Kansas State University. New stations have been added in Kearny County (Lakin), Morton County (Richfield), Seward County, but near Satanta, which is in Haskell County, and Sumner County, but near Viola, which is in Sedgwick County. These are in addition to 51 existing stations. The data collected is available to the public online at Kansas Mesonet (http://mesonet.k-state.edu). The information can be useful for science teachers, construction companies, farmers, gardeners, and anyone who is curious about the weather in their location or across the state. Kansas Mesonet is located within the K-State Department of Agronomy and is part of K-State Research and Extension. It is also part of the Weather Data Library and State Climate Office with automated data extending back as far as 1985. Paper records also go back into the 1800s. “Adding new weather stations helps us give Kansas citizens and others an ever more complete picture of weather, including trends, across the state,” said Chip Redmond, KState assistant scientist and Kansas Mesonet manager. “We appreciate everyone in the communities who work with us to pursue funding, assist with logistics, host a station and help with maintaining them. It requires a unified effort to make these stations possible.” K‑State Research and Extension is a short name for the Kansas State University Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, a program designed to generate and distribute useful knowledge for the well‑being of Kansans. Supported by county, state, federal and private funds, the program has county Extension offices, experiment fields, area Extension offices and regional research centers statewide. Its headquarters is on the K‑State campus in Manhattan.

Cotton disposable wipeseffective, biodegradable

By Rosalie Marion Bliss, Agricultural Research Service People concerned about the environmental impact of synthetic disposable wipes accumulating in landfills can now take comfort in U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) scientists’ progress in developing disinfecting wipes made from nonwoven cotton that are biodegradable. Disposable disinfecting wipes made from synthetic fibers are effective and convenient. They are soaked in a solution that contains germ-killing compounds called “quats.” These compounds release readily from synthetic fibers, allowing the wipes to disinfect properly. Unfortunately, synthetic fibers decompose slowly in landfills. Cotton fibers, while biodegradable and thus better for the environment, do not readily release the germicide. That soon could change. Agricultural Research Service (ARS) scientists have discovered new chemical formulations that allow quats to release readily from nonwoven cotton fibers, resulting in hospital-grade disinfecting cotton wipes that are both effective and biodegradable. Research leader Brian Condon, molecular biologist Doug Hinchliffe, and colleagues in the ARS Cotton Chemistry and Utilization Research Unit in New Orleans, Louisiana, worked on the project with Cotton Incorporated. The ARS team tested a quat called “ADBAC,” a stable, cost-effective active ingredient in synthetic disposable disinfecting wipes particularly effective on hard surfaces. The quat adhered so strongly to the surface of cotton fibers that it failed to release in amounts sufficient to disinfect hard surfaces. The ARS team developed new chemical formulas that block quats from adhering strongly to the surface of cotton fibers. The result is a cotton wipe that releases quats for surface disinfection that is strong, abrasive and fully biodegradable. In the study, the cotton wipe containing the new ADBAC formula killed four microorganisms of great concern in healthcare environments, including MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) and VRE (vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus), which are of particular concern in hospitals. Research partner Cotton Incorporated will be marketing this technology. Adopters of the new technology will conduct further testing to broaden the list of microorganisms the wipes can disinfect.

USDA to measure small grain production

Trader’s Dispatch, August 2016 — Page C17

The deadline for phoning in advertising for the September 2016 issue of the Trader's Dispatch will be WEDNESDAY, August 31. Phone (406) 271-5533.

During the first two weeks of September, growers of small grains around the country will receive survey forms from the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS). The agency is taking a comprehensive look into the 2016 production and supply of small grains, which include wheat, oats, barley, and rye. “The small grains industry is a big player in agriculture across our region and it is crucial for us to have accurate data about this key sector of the economy,” said NASS Mountain Region Director Bill Meyer. “We will contact almost 6,000 producers in Arizona, Colorado, Montana, New Mexico, Utah, and Wyoming to accurately measure 2016 acreage, yield, and production for small grains. The data collected from this survey will also help set small grain acreage and production estimates at the county level.” NASS will contact survey participants to gather information on their 2016 production and the quantities of grains and oilseeds stored on farm. As an alternative to mailing the survey back and to help save both time and money, growers will have the option to respond to the survey securely online. Farmers who have not responded by August 30th may receive a phone call from a NASS representative who will help them fill out the survey form. As with all NASS surveys, information provided by respondents is confidential by law. NASS safeguards the privacy of all respondents and publishes only aggregate data, ensuring that no individual operation or producer can be identified. Survey results will be published in several reports, including the annual Small Grains Summary and the quarterly Grain Stocks report, both to be released on September 30. These and all NASS reports are available online at www. nass.usda.gov. For more information call the NASS Mountain Regional Field Office at (800) 392-3202. ##### “A gas station is a place where you sometimes fill the car, but more often drain the kids.”

River study has good science, now add soul, speaker says

By Ed Kemmick/Last Best News Gerard Baker addresses attendees at a Yellowstone River Symposium in Billings. In a 400-page assessment of the Yellowstone River that is thick with technical findings and scientific terminology, Gerard Baker identified what he thought was missing from the report. Baker, a Mandan-Hidatsa Indian who retired as assistant director of the National Park Service in Washington, D.C., said what was missing was the river’s soul, its spirit. When the river and its plants and animals were created, Baker said, no part of it was inanimate. “Everything could speak, if you would listen,” he said. “We have forgotten how to listen to that river.” Baker’s audience was a gathering of 90-some people who came together for a Yellowstone River Symposium marking the release of a Cumulative Effects Assessment of the Yellowstone, 12 years in the making. It is part of the Yellowstone River Comprehensive Study. If the many dozens of people involved in the assessment neglected to capture the river’s spirit, they could take some consolation in working on what has been hailed as the most comprehensive study of a major river ever conducted. Earlier in the day, Ken Frazer, fisheries manager for the Billings region of Fish, Wildlife and Parks, said there is now “probably more good information on this river than on any river in the world.” Baker, the first superintendent of the Lewis and Clark National Trail and a former superintendent of the Little Bighorn Battlefield, was the keynote speaker at the two-day symposium. The study was led by the Yellowstone River Conservation District Council, made up of 11 conservation districts bordering the 570-mile main stem of the Yellowstone between Gardiner and the river’s confluence with the Missouri River just inside North Dakota. Starting at 8:30 at the Billings Hotel and Convention Center, Susan Gilbertz, an environmental studies professor at Montana State University Billings, lead a discussion about the future structure of the district council and about how to implement the many recommendations that came out of the study. Last Best News reported on many of the study’s key findings and recommendations when the district council presented a report on a draft of the study in Huntley in October. Baker, too, talked about the future of the study. He said he read the lengthy assessment three times and was struck by the lack of Native involvement. “There’s an opportunity on almost every page to involve the tribes,” he said. And while he acknowledged that it can be “extremely difficult” to deal with the tribes, he asked his audience to consider the many good reasons Indians had for being skeptical in their dealings with the dominant culture and the government. He said he learned that lesson when he tried to sell his ideas for commemorating the Lewis and Clark expedition to a gathering of Indian elders. He told them he wanted to focus on Indian life before, during and after the tribes’ encounters with the expedition, and how that experience shaped their futures. Col. John Henderson of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers also spoke at the symposium. Expecting to be warmly embraced by the elders, he was told by the first person to speak, “I don’t trust you. You’re an Indian bureaucrat with braids.” He told those elders, that the best approach would be to make full use of their children, to teach them their history, then let them teach it and carry it on.

River study has good science, now add soul, speaker says CONTINUED FROM PAGE C19

He seized on a statement made by Bob Hector, the Yellowstone County representative on the district council. Hector said one of the best things about the district’s work was the many river outings, which gave researchers and members of the public a close look at aspects of the river that might otherwise have been abstractions. Baker said the district council should be taking children, Indian and non-Indian, on similar outings, to give them a deep understanding of the river and to make them its ambassadors. His parents taught him much about the Missouri River, he said, but that was a very different stream from the undammed Yellowstone. He said his people on the Fort Berthold Reservation in North Dakota lost all their bottom lands to the dam that created Lake Sacagawea. Tribal elders are still “very, very bitter” about losing their lands, Baker said, and they say of the land submerged by the lake, “Our lives are down there. Our culture is down there. Our graves are down there.” “Don’t let the Yellowstone do that,” Baker said. People at the symposium also heard from Col. John Henderson, commander of the Omaha District of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The corps has been a partner in the study since the beginning, after it was sued by environmental groups for issuing too many bank stabilization permits (read riprap) in the flood years of 1996 and 1997. The lawsuit argued that the corps had issued the permits with too little regard for the cumulative effects of intensive riprapping, and a judge ultimately ruled against the corps. Congress then authorized the corps to conduct the comprehensive study, and it entered into a cost-sharing agreement with the Yellowstone River Conservation District Council in 2004. Henderson, a native of South Dakota who wore his dress uniform, said he figured a jacket and tie would be too formal for such a meeting, but added, “I’m a soldier, and soldiers get dressed up for notable events.” He called the work of the district council “extremely important” and said the study will serve as “a model for watersheds across the country.” The audience also heard from John Tubbs, director of the state Department of Natural Resources and Conservation. He said the work of the council was about much more than one report. What mattered most, he said, was that everyone involved in it “developed relationships and partnerships” with water users up and down the river, “and it is the people on this landscape that will take this into the future.”

Blonde detectives

A policeman was interrogating 3 blondes who were training to become detectives. To test their skills in recognizing a suspect, he shows the first blonde a picture for 5 seconds and then hides it. “This is your suspect, how would you recognize him?” The first blonde answers, “That’s easy, we’ll catch him fast because he only has one eye!” The policeman says, “Well…uh…that’s because the picture shows his profile.” Slightly flustered by this ridiculous response, he flashes the picture for 5 seconds at the second blonde and asks her, “This is your suspect, how would you recognize him?” The second blonde giggles, flips her hair and says, “Ha! He’d be too easy to catch because he only has one ear!” The policeman angrily responds, “What’s the matter with you two? Of course only one eye and one ear are SHOWING because it’s a picture of his profile!! Is that the best answer you can come up with? Extremely frustrated at this point, he shows the picture to the third blonde and in a very testy voice asks, “This is your suspect, how would you recognize him?” He quickly adds”…think hard before giving me a stupid answer.” The blonde looks at the picture intently for a moment and says, “Hmmmm…the suspect wears contact lenses.” The policeman is surprised and speechless because he really doesn’t know himself if the suspect wears contracts or not. “Well, that’s an interesting answer…wait here for a few minutes while I check his file and I’ll get back to you on that.” He leaves the room and goes to his office, checks the suspect’s file in his computer, and comes back with a beaming smile on his face. “Wow! I can’t believe it…it’s TRUE! The suspect does in fact wear contact lenses. Good work! How were you able to make such an astute observation? “That’s easy,” the blonde replied. “He can’t wear regular glasses because he only has one eye and one ear.”

Tales of a tri-tip

By Tammi “Syd” Rogers If I was writing this story to submit to some high-falutin, politically correct newspaper anywhere else but our neck of the woods, I might find myself starting with precautions on how not to try this at home. However, I know my readers are smart enough not to stick their hands in a blender to see if they can catch the blade. I know you would never use a lit match to check the level of a fuel tank. And I know you know enough not to stick your dog in the washing machine, although, at times, I can see how it would be tempting after a good calving season. This all starts with a piece of meat. The famous Tri-tip. If you have been out and about in the last few years, neighbors and friends may have been delighted to show you their rendition of a smoked Tri-Tip. Done right, this not-muchheard of piece of meat simply melts in your mouth leaving behind a heavenly hint of smoke and BBQ. As they will often point out, when it is smoked just right, there is a thick ring of pinkish smoke tracks on the meat and the deeper they go towards the center, the better the flavor. It is enough of an epicurean delight that I have known even vegetarians to make the crossover when they think no one is looking. A few months ago, I found myself the proud new owner of a nice 2-pound chunk of Tri-Tip. It was one of those moments when I was so excited that I could finally cook one myself quickly followed by a moment of “oh no! I have to cook this one myself!” Through the months, I would randomly bring up the subject of the roast simply sitting in my freezer when I was in the right company, meaning those who would share their method of cooking without judging. Unfortunately, they kept coming up with that one word, “you just put it in the ‘smoker’ and smoke it really well.” Yeah. Smoker? What smoker? The conversation would end with, “ I guess we are going to have to get a smoker.” As each and every rancher knows, a smoker is one of those things on the wish list that is at the way, way, way, bottom of the list. Things like equipment, vaccines, feed, baling twine, tire for the pickup, fences, heck even cat food, comes before a smoker. As we were just in the early phases of building our ranch, I didn’t know if I would get that smoker before I went to meet my maker. Finally this haying season, I had it. Enough is enough. No more being scared of a piece of meat. However, in fairness, I did make sure that I planned to cook it right after I had gone to the store so there were other dining options available to us. My uncle was down to help us hay and I wanted to make a nice dinner other than something with hamburger. So I whipped up a marinade of beer and mesquite and let it set for a couple of days. When the time came, I cranked up the BBQ to full speed launch-the-rocket hot and threw the slab of tri on the grill. The plan was to “sear” each side (sounds like a kitchen term), and then place it on the warming rack above while the heat and smoke finishes the job. Now, I know better than to multitask while cooking but I just can’t help myself. I had a new salad I wanted to try that used those little mozzarella balls and funky shaped pasta that I needed to get going on as well. So in between boiling the macaroni and making pesto sauce, I would randomly go out and check on the roast. Just about the time my macaroni was due to come off the burner and get rinsed, it occurred to me that I had better go flip the meat. When I got to the door, I kind of got this feeling in my gut like I hoped no one was watching. There were flames coming out of each end of the lid of the BBQ. The dogs didn’t even want to be on the porch - even they knew it was getting a little warm out there. The thermometer on the front of the grill had pegged out – completely shot past 700 degrees looking for 2000 without any luck. I opened the lid of the BBQ and was immediately thankful that we didn’t have a roofed porch as the flames shot straight for the sky. All the hair on my left arm suddenly sizzled as I grabbed the Tri-Tip with the tongs and gave it a quick flip to the warming rack. I did turn the gauges as low as they would go and stood there for a moment mesmerized by the fire. When I was halfway sure that the flames had come back down, I went inside and finished the salad. Feeling there was not much left I could do until Curtis came home, I strolled out to the couch and stretched out in front of the TV where my uncle was at. A while later, Curtis was home and hungry as they get. It does my heart good to see him that hungry because I know no matter what I put in front of him, he will say it is the best he has ever eaten and take two servings. Feeding a hungry CONTINUED ON PAGE C23


Tales of a tri-tip CONTINUED FROM PAGE C22

man makes anyone a good, great cook. As he strolled into the house he asked me if I had used wood to smoke the Tri-Tip. It was a hot day and he had been working long hours so I wrote off his silly question as delirium and went about setting up dinner. Fortunately, I had beginner’s luck with the Tri-Tip and it turned out perfectly. It was crispy on the outside and tender and pink on the inside. The salad was even a hit with the little mozzarella pearls and, of course, the homemade mixed berry pie alamode was the belly rubbing, groan getter. As we sat around the table, sedated with food and trying to be polite enough not to just fall asleep in our plates, Curtis again asked, “I smell wood smoke. Where is that coming from?” “hmmm…” was all I could answer. I had no idea but maybe that came with the mysterious package of cooking a Tri-Tip? It just created the smoke smell itself? I don’t know. Not too much later, we decided to call it a night. In the process of putting the dogs away and shutting the house down, I happened to stroll towards the front deck and a red ember flew from the area of the BBQ out onto the porch. Hmmmm. Maybe I should make sure the BBQ is shut down. Just as I was checking all the knobs, Curtis walked by and said oh so calmly, “The deck is on fire.” I pulled away the BBQ and sure enough. There was an 18” long section of railing that was smoldering in the wind just waiting to smoke some more Tri-Tip. I wanted to grab the fire extinguisher that I had just gotten him for Christmas and was trying to think of the acronym – P.A.S.S., pull, something, sweep, something. But while I was trying to pass a safety quiz, Curtis calmly grabbed the garden hose and soaked the railing. I still am having mixed feelings about what was more dangerous, burning the deck down or using chemically laden wood to smoke the meat. At least we still have a house and the combination of the burn on that board and its degree of warp from age may mean it will get replaced in the next few years. Now, if I suddenly develop a tic and drag a leg, I will know that smoking Tri-Tip with decking is not a recipe to pass on to my future daughter in law.

Turning on the forehand

Written collaboratively by Lindsey McNeill and Rebecca Bott, Assistant Professor & SDSU Extension Equine Specialist A turn on the forehand is an advanced maneuver for horses and riders. A definition provided by George Morris says, “This exercise means that the horse’s haunches move in a circular track around the forehand, which remains close to stationary and acts almost as a pivot” (Morris, 1990). Turning on the forehand is similar to a turn on the haunches, but the front hoof on the side you are turning towards becomes the pivot point. Turning on the forehand can help riders become more effective in their sideways and forward driving aides. Performing the maneuver When a horse turns on the forehand, the maneuver begins with the head moving in the direction of the turn. During a right turn, the right front hoof will become the pivot point. The left front hoof, that is not the pivot point, will continue to move around with the hind end during the turn. The horse should promptly move its hind end in the opposite direction of the pivot hoof. Forehand turns can be executed as partial turns such as 90- or 180-degree turns, or may be a full circle or more, and typically performed at the halt or walk. Technique Considerations When performing a turn on the forehand there are two important aides for the rider to keep in mind; leg and hand. These will be essential when performing this maneuver. The combination of leg and hand will create the best turn on the forehand. This exercise teaches the horse how to properly respond to leg aides, so placing the leg in the correct position is very important. If one were still performing the right turn on the forehand, the right leg would become the motivating leg and should move a little bit behind the girth area, towards the hind end. When performing a right turn on the forehand, the horse’s head will move to the right. The rider would create a slight bend in the horse to the right using their hand aide. This helps the horse set his front right hoof as the pivot point. A rider should not over bend their horse, as this could cause the horse to turn in a circle rather than pivoting. Using both aides in the correct way will make this exercise easier for both horse and rider. Tips for Success: • Be patient with both yourself and your horse, each horse could respond differently to your aides. • When a horse or rider is first introduced to this maneuver, it should be performed at a halt • If the horse is not performing as expected, first check to make sure that the motivating hand and leg are in the correct place. Reset the horse between attempts by taking a few steps forward and allowing the horse to settle. • Do not over-bend the neck, as this can cause the horse to turn in a circle rather than pivoting. • Do not use the opposite leg or hand as motivators. This can signal the horse to perform other maneuvers. In Summary A turn on the forehand is a skill mastered by many advanced riders, but a maneuver that can be successfully attempted by less advanced riders with patience and practice. The skills required for this maneuver can help riders become more effective at leg yields and other lateral work with their horse.

Date When Celebrated : Always August 26th National Dog Day has two goals: to honor dogs, and to rescue dogs from homelessness and abuse. It’s an opportunity for us to recognize and appreciate the value and importance of dogs in our lives. This day is intended to honor dogs for all that they do for us. In addition to giving love and companionship, dogs help us out in countless ways. They are watchdogs for our safety. They lead the blind. Dogs aid in search and rescue, and they seek out bombs and drugs. The second goal of National Dog Day is to rescue dogs in need. On occasion, dogs need us to save them from homelesness and abuse. The goal of the National Dog Day foundation is to rescue 10,000 dogs a year. Lend a hand to help a dog in need today, or any day. Origin of National Dog Day: National Dog Day was created by the National Dog Day Foundation. Their motto is “Saving 10,000 Dogs - One Day at a Time”. President George W. Bush, a dog owner himself, sent a letter to the foundation in support of National Dog Day.

Lab finds lead poisoning a problem in cattle

By James Schmidt, K-State Research and Extension The Kansas State University Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory (http://www.ksvdl.org) diagnoses many kinds of illnesses throughout a given year, but the one witnessed frequently this past spring in cattle was lead poisoning. “Lead poisoning is the No. 1 poisoning we diagnose in the diagnostic lab,” said Gregg Hanzlicek, director of production animal field investigations with the lab. “This past spring, we had several cases of spring-born calves diagnosed with lead poisoning shortly after going to pasture.” Lead poisoning is difficult to identify and is often fatal. For this reason, it’s important for producers to be vigilant in monitoring for differences in behavior. “Like many poisonings, unfortunately one of the most common signs is finding one or more dead animals in the pasture. For those that aren’t found dead, another clinical sign is a difference in behavior,” Hanzlicek said. “The calves or cows may stumble or stagger; they may then become recumbent followed by convulsions. One of the major classical signs of lead poisoning in cattle is blindness.” Within a day or two of ingestion, the signs of lead poisoning will begin to show, either by death or by those symptoms, he said. Lead poisoning is diagnosed most often in young calves. Since medicinal treatment for lead poisoning is largely ineffective, prevention is the best control method. Identifying how cattle acquire lead poisoning can give producers a look into how to prevent it. “The only way a calf or a cow can become poisoned is if they ingest the lead. Any age animal can ingest it and become poisoned, but the reason we see it more often in calves is for a couple of reasons,” Hanzlicek said. “Newborn calves going to pasture are curious, so they’re mouthing things and trying to eat things older animals normally wouldn’t. When we have hard rains, sometimes the rain washes uncovers sources of lead, then the calf has exposure to it.” Monitoring your pasture for items that contain lead can decrease the chance of poisoning. “The most common sources of lead toxicity in calves and cows are old batteries from trucks and cars that have been disposed of in the pasture. Calves either lick on the battery posts or lick on the plates in the battery. There are other sources such as linoleum or old caulking materials,” Hanzlicek said. “To prevent it, if you know that you have a site where things were disposed of in the pasture, it’s a good idea to fence the area to prevent animals from having access.” Though prevention is the best treatment, there are things producers can do should they suspect that their cattle contracted lead poisoning. “With the fact that we have smartphones and these devices have video capability, I would advise the producer to take a relatively long video of the animal and send it to their veterinarian,” Hanzlicek said. The veterinarian can then decide, based on the video, if more testing is needed to find the true problem. “There are a couple of good blood tests that are definitive for lead poisoning for diagnosing it in live animals,” Hanzlicek said. “For animals that are found dead, we typically like liver and kidney tissue sent in to determine the lead level of those tissues.” Lead poisoning can be confused with other diseases, so when these symptoms arise, it’s important to identify what is ailing the animal. “Some of the things that can be confused with lead poisoning is a neurologic disease called Polioencephalomalacia, another one is rabies and the third is low magnesium,” Hanzlicek said. “The point is, because you see the clinical signs, you can’t just think of lead poisoning. There’s a whole bunch of other diseases to take into consideration. The best source of advice is your veterinarian as he or she has been trained to recognize a diverse number of diseases. Many diseases appear with similar clinical signs to the lay persons’ eye.” Contact the Kansas State Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory for more information.

Extending a gait

Written collaboratively by Lindsey McNeill and Rebecca Bott, Assistant Professor & SDSU Extension Equine Specialist In many horse show patterns, the judge will challenge the competitors by asking for an extension of a walk, trot, or canter. Extending a gait involves engaging the hind end of the horse so they can lengthen their stride while still being supple through their body. This should not cause the rhythm or speed of the gait to change in any way. Extension is the lengthening of a stride, not the quickening of the stride. Cadence Before really understanding the concept of extending, one must understand pace, or cadence. Controlling the pace of the horse will help any rider with a collected, working, or extended gait. The pace of each gait is altered to speed up, slow down, or stop. However, the pace or cadence should remain even when extending a gait, only changing if a horse is asked to transition to a greater or lesser speed. Once understood, extending the gait will be an easy skill to master. Extension Extension is always the lengthening of the stride of any gait. Because more ground is covered with each individual stride, some riders may think extending a gait becomes a race. This is never the case. A rider should extend the horse’s stride allowing the horse to stretch their stride. The extension at a trot or walk can help a rider warm-up their horse, but this all depends on the disposition of the animal. This maneuver can help riders have the option of lengthening strides when necessary, such as between fences. Basic Technique The basic steps for extending the horse’s stride are moving the rein hand forward one to two inches, applying more pressure with the legs and increasing the rider’s rhythm in the saddle. The amount of pressure and movement depends on the gait and horse. In a show setting, these movements should be subtle and smooth. In Summary When preparing for a show, practicing the extension is a very useful skill. Performing this before a show can help the rider gauge how much pace and control they will need during a pattern or on the rail. Using the straight sides in an arena or out in the pasture is more ideal for practicing; this allows the horse to stretch out without needing to turn a corner. Along with practicing moving into extension, collecting the stride back to a typical length from the extension is a great skill to practice for shows. An extension is a very common maneuver asked by judges, so mastering this could help create success in the arena.

Hoffman hired as NDSU Extension sheep specialist

By NDSU Extension Service Travis Hoffman is the North Dakota State University (NDSU) Extension Service’s new sheep specialist. He also holds a joint appointment as sheep specialist for University of Minnesota Extension. Hoffman had been an instructor in meat sciences in the Department of Animal Sciences at South Dakota State University since September 2015. Prior to that, he was the Colorado beef quality assurance coordinator, a joint appointment for Colorado State University and the Colorado Cattlemen’s Association, Colorado Livestock Association and Colorado Beef Council, for 7 1/2 years. He grew up on a diversified livestock operation near Rockham, South Dakota. His family produces registered Corriedale sheep, along with commercial feeder cattle. He earned a bachelor of science degree in Animal Science, with a science emphasis, from SDSU in Brookings in 2003, and a master’s degree in 2008 and a doctorate in 2015 in Animal Science, with a meat science emphasis, from Colorado State University. Hoffman’s Ph.D. research was part of the 2015 National Lamb Quality Audit and focused on retail and food service components of attributes that specifically define and quantify consumers’ willingness to pay for lamb quality in the U.S. marketplace. He has taught several sheep-related courses and authored or co-authored numerous articles on sheep industry topics. “We are very excited that Travis has joined our faculty at NDSU,” says Greg Lardy, head of NDSU’s Animal Sciences Department. “His background and knowledge in meat science will provide opportunities for building strong Extension programs. Travis’ enthusiasm for the sheep industry is contagious.”

Look out for potato leafhoppers, green cloverworms and fall armyworms By Chloe Creager, K-State Research and Extension

As corn and alfalfa crops continue to grow, K-State Research and Extension crop specialists are observing different pests currently in Kansas. Challenges impacting the crops include potato leafhoppers, green cloverworms, fall armyworms and corn rootworms, according to Kansas State University associate professor of entomology and pest management extension specialist Jeff Whitworth. Alfalfa Potato leafhoppers (http://ento.psu.edu/ extension/factsheets/potato-leafhopperalfalfa) have been observed in north-central and south-central Kansas since May, about a month earlier than the pests would normally be seen, Whitworth said. Potato leafhoppers usually don’t spend the winter in Kansas and will migrate back between the first and second alfalfa cutting, but this year they’ve been present since before the first cutting, he said. Early mild and later cool temperatures throughout the winter and spring played a role in the difference. The insects will suck juices out of the plants, and while the adults don’t do much damage, excessive heat and moisture removal add to plant stress. As of May, all of the observed potato leafhoppers were adults, and weekly samples have not yet indicated that there are any nymphs. “Mainly, they’re mating and laying eggs in the stem of the plant,” Whitworth said. “It’s the nymphs – once they start hatching out – ­ that start sucking the juice out of the plant, so when you get additional fluid removal that just adds to the stress level of alfalfa.” Another risk from these pests is that they can transmit hopper burn, which manifests with a yellowing around leaves. It can move to the stem if the insects feed long enough and can kill the crop if left untreated. Whitworth recommends swathing alfalfa to help control the population. The pests will continue to migrate in, he said, but swathing will help control the first infestation, and they won’t feed on the cut product. If producers decide to treat their crops, there are many insecticides labeled for use with potato leafhopper control. Whitworth said growers could probably use the lowest rate with the cheapest material and have good control of the pest. If producers treat alfalfa, he said, they should check reemerging plant tissue and stubble weekly to make sure more potato leafhoppers aren’t present, because they have a low economic injury level. EIL is the smallest number of insects (amount of injury) that will cause yield losses equal to the insect management costs. Green cloverworms (http://cropwatch. unl.edu/insect/geencloverwormid) have also been observed in alfalfa, according to Whitworth. These insects may not be as risky from an alfalfa producer’s perspective, but they could become problematic as they mature and fly out of alfalfa into soybean fields. Since most soybean crops are recently planted or emerging and worms are in final larval stages, they will pupate, and the moths will likely fly to soybeans that they can defoliate. “A young vegetative soybean plant can withstand 40 to 60 percent defoliation under good growing conditions before it’s going to impact yield as long as it gets cleaned up,” Whitworth said. There are a

number of insecticides that are effective for controlling green cloverworms or bean leaf beetles once you’ve hit the 30 to 40 percent defoliation threshold and decide you need to treat. Corn Producers are starting to see fall armyworms (https://extension.entm.purdue. edu/fieldcropsipm/insects/fall-armyworm. php) feeding in corn; they are maturing and will be pupating soon, Whitworth said. As plants develop into the whorl stage, ragworms will probably eat leaves as they grow and leave them ragged-looking, but he does not recommend treatment for whorl-stage worms. “Yes, it’s visual and gets everybody’s attention, and yes, it does cause concern; but we’ve done several studies over the years,” he said. “No. 1, it doesn’t cause any yield reduction; the plants grow out of it. No. 2, even if you do treat you can’t get the insecticide down into the base of the whorl where the worms are, so you can’t kill them until they’re through feeding and crawl out anyway.” If 70 to 80 percent of plants are infested and the worms inside the whorls are small, it could be beneficial to treat them, but usually by the time the grower notices it, the worms are already mature. Whitworth said he has only seen this once, however, and generally does not recommend treating whorl-stage leaf-eating damage in corn. Adult tarnished plant bugs have been found in corn throughout north-central and south-central Kansas. These insects are not a pest of corn; however, they can suck the juices out of developing seeds in sorghum if there are enough of them in the head and can produce problems with seeding alfalfa. They look similar to adult western corn rootworms. “Last year, we got a lot of calls about these tarnished plant bugs in silks because the corn rootworms will clip them, and a lot of growers were worried that’s what was going to happen,” Whitworth said. “Make sure to get a positive identification when it comes to silking time in your corn to make sure it’s not corn rootworm; make sure it is a tarnished plant bug, because they will not cause any problems in the corn except confusion.” According to the June 23 K-State Insect Diagnostic Laboratory Report (http:// entomology.k-state.edu/doc/extensionnewsletters/2016/KSInsectNewsletter16. pdf), the first western corn rootworm adults were collected on June 17 in north-central Kansas, and there are still some larvae feeding on roots. None of the sampled plants had begun tasseling, so the adults are still feeding on leaves and will not impact yield. If producers need positive identification of insects or pests in any crops or fields, consult the K-State Entomology Department’s insect diagnostic laboratory (http://entomology.k-state.edu/extension/ diagnostician/) or a local K-State Research and Extension agricultural agent. K-State Research and Extension is a short name for the Kansas State University Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, a program designed to generate and distribute useful knowledge for the well-being of Kansans. Supported by county, state, federal and private funds, the program has county Extension offices, experiment fields, area Extension offices and regional research centers statewide. Its headquarters is on the K-State campus, Manhattan.

Twenty students from six states gathered on the Kansas State University (http:// www.k-state.edu) campus recently to gain livestock industry knowledge and develop leadership skills. The students were part of the eighth annual K-State Animal Sciences Leadership Academy (KASLA) June 29 – July 2 in Manhattan, Kansas. Hosted by the K-State Department of Animal Sciences and Industry and sponsored by the Livestock and Meat Industry Council, the academy’s goal is to develop young leaders within the livestock industry and prepare them for a successful future in this field. This year’s class included: Logan Allen, Gardner; Grace Baxter, Dripping Springs, Texas; Reid Beeman, Olpe; Tyler Boss, Richmond, Missouri; Kelsey Bradford, Leavenworth; Leeanna Burton, Drexel, Missouri; Haley Chadwick, Shawnee; Caitlin Dreher, Iola; Jade Edwards, Hamilton; Corbin Gauthier, El Dorado; Emma Jolley, McLouth; Mable Mestagh, McLouth; Elizabeth Mitsch, Andover; Ty Montgomery, Coats; Aaron Mott, Rocheport, Missouri; Shiloh Murray, Pratt; Judd Nelson, Soldier; Lexi Peoples, Prairie Grove, Arkansas; Shelby Smith, Grabill, Indiana; and Mara Weis, Afton, Iowa. During their time at the KASLA, students participated in interactive leadership development and educational sessions led by faculty members from across the K-State campus. Participants completed the college experience by bowling at the K-State Student Union, completing the K-State Challenge Course and staying in Haymaker Hall. The academy included a full day of livestock industry tours throughout northeast Kansas, with stops including: O.H. Kruse Feed Innovation Center, Manhattan; Flint Hills Discovery Center, Manhattan; Hildebrand Farms Dairy, Junction City; Bichelmeyer Meats, Kansas City; Seaboard Foods, Shawnee; and American Royal, Kansas City, Missouri. The students also

toured university farms and K-State’s College of Veterinary Medicine. For their final project, the students were divided into groups during the week to focus on current issues affecting the livestock industry. Faculty mentors from the K-State Department of Animal Sciences and Industry assisted each group. Using information they learned throughout the academy, the groups were asked to present their subject as part of the closing reception on the final day. About 100 family, friends and members of the K-State community gathered for the closing reception to honor the graduates and hear their thoughts on the important livestock issues. More information about the academy is available online at Youth Livestock Programs (http://www.asi.k-state.edu/ students-and-programs/youth-programs/). For questions, contact academy director Sharon Breiner at sbreiner@ksu.edu or 785-532-6533. The Kansas State University Department of Animal Sciences and Industry (ASI) serves students, livestock producers and the animal and food industries through teaching, research and education. The KState ASI department prepares students for careers in the animal and food industries. The curriculum includes the study of nutrition, reproduction, genetics, behavior, meat science and food science with production, management, and agribusiness skills. For more information, visit K-State’s ASI department (http://www.asi.k-state.edu). K‑State Research and Extension is a short name for the Kansas State University Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, a program designed to generate and distribute useful knowledge for the well‑being of Kansans. Supported by county, state, federal and private funds, the program has county Extension offices, experiment fields, area Extension offices and regional research centers statewide. Its headquarters is on the K‑State campus in Manhattan.


DPHHS offers West Nile Virus prevention tips

State and local public health officials are reminding Montanans to take steps to avoid mosquito bites and prevent infection with West Nile Virus (WNV). Summer is a prime time for exposure to mosquitos capable of transmitting WNV. However, Montanans can reduce their chances of being bitten by following the advice of public health experts. Public health officials are also reminding the public that while WNV is a concern in Montana, Zika virus is not. In fact, the mosquitos that carry Zika virus have not been found in Montana or neighboring states. To minimize risk of WNV, experts recommend reducing mosquito populations by removing mosquito breeding areas in and around the home. Simple steps such as draining birdbaths, wading pools or any container with still water every few days will minimize breeding sites. Because it is not possible to eliminate all breeding sites, there are several recommendations people can follow to avoid being bitten. This includes wearing and safely using insect repellent when outdoors and wearing pants and longsleeved shirts when possible. “The best way to prevent West Nile virus is to take personal precautions to avoid mosquito bites,” said DPHHS Director Richard Opper. “We encourage everyone to take precautions against West Nile while recreating outside this summer.” The 4 D’s of West Nile virus prevention should be followed to reduce the chance of mosquito bites. Dusk / Dawn: Peak mosquitos biting hours are dusk to dawn. Limit outdoor activity during those times. If you must be outside, be sure to protect yourself from bites. Dress: Wear long-sleeved shirts and pants to reduce the amount of exposed skin. DEET: Cover exposed skin with a repellant containing the chemical DEET, which is most effective against mosquito bites. Drain: Empty any containers holding standing water because they can be excellent breeding grounds for viruscarrying mosquitoes. WNV is transmitted to humans by infected mosquitos through bites. Most, about 4 out of 5 people infected will experience no symptoms and develop immunity. About 1 in 5 infected people develop a low grade fever, headache and muscle aches that begin a week or two after becoming infected. Generally, no treatment is needed. However, in less than 1 percent of infected people, serious, life-threatening symptoms develop including headache, rash, high fever, stiff neck, mental confusion, and other symptoms. Individuals who develop any of these symptoms should see their health-care provider immediately. The number of WNV human cases in Montana varies from year to year. Over 200 cases were reported in 2003 and 2007, but generally the average is about 10 reported human infections each year. Cases reported are more likely to be those that are severe and about one-third of Montana cases required hospitalization. “We can’t predict whether we’ll have a summer with little transmission of WNV or a more severe season,” said Christine Mulgrew, DPHHS WNV Program Manager. “That is why it is important to protect yourself from mosquito bites and eliminate breeding sites around your home.” With over 90 percent of cases occurring in August and September, it is time to start actively preventing mosquito bites.” For more information go to the DPHHS website at www. dphhs.mt.gov. To keep informed about this and other public health topics, consider subscribing to DPHHS Health in the 406 messages by going to www.healthinthe406.mt.gov Health in the 406: Focus on prevention West Nile Virus prevention · Spread to people by the bite of an infected mosquito, West Nile Virus (WNV) has no specific treatment or vaccine, but you can reduce your risk by eliminating standing water near your property, using insect repellant, and wearing protective clothing. · 4 out of 5 people infected with WNV will have no symptoms and develop immunity, 1 in 5 will develop a fever with other symptoms, and less than 1% develop a serious, sometimes fatal, neurologic illness. · While the impact of WNV in Montana varies from year to year, risk is greatest east of the continental divide and in mid– to late summer. ##### Every time you lick a stamp, you consume 1/10 of a calorie.

Goss’s bacterial wilt and leaf blight

By Ray Bisek, Polk/Clearwater Extension, Minnesota With the recent winds and hail, warm temperatures, and the continued number acres of corn grown in Northwestern Minnesota, there probably is a good chance that we’ll see more fields with Goss’s wilt infections. It’s important to be scouting for this disease, identify such fields, and then take appropriate action by rotations and hybrid section for future years. Below is some information on Goss’s Wilt provided by Dean Malvick, U of M Extension plant pathologist. Fundamentals: This corn disease was first confirmed in Minnesota in 2009 and is now widespread in corn production areas of the state. It also occurs in the bordering states of North and South Dakota, Iowa, Wisconsin, and in Manitoba. Although it may have occurred earlier in some areas, it has been a spreading problem. Yield losses from Goss’s wilt and blight can exceed 30% for susceptible hybrid. Conditions and timing that favor this disease: Goss’s wilt primarily infects leaves that have been wounded, such as by hail, sand-blasting, rain, wind, and strong storms. The disease spreads in the plant following leaf infection, and can spread from plant to plant. Disease development is favored by warm (>80°F) conditions. Symptoms often become most visible and increase in severity after silking. The disease is favored by planting susceptible hybrids, reduced tillage, and planting corn-on-corn. Causal Pathogen: Goss’s wilt is caused by the bacterial pathogen named Clavibacter michiganensis subspecies nebraskensis. It overwinters in infested corn debris near the soil surface. The pathogen can possibly be seed transmitted at very low levels. Grain sorghum and some grasses such as sudan, several foxtail species, shattercane, and eastern gama grass are also susceptible to this pathogen. Symptoms and Diagnosis of Goss’s wilt: The primary symptoms on leaves are elongated tan lesions with irregular margins extending parallel to the veins. Large sections of leaf area can be affected. Dark, water-soaked spots (“freckles’) develop in the lesions. Shiny patches of dried bacterial ooze that appear similar to dry varnish are often present on the lesions. In plants with stalk infection, orange vascular bundles may be seen in the stalk. The seedling blight phase of this disease may cause wilting and death of seedlings, but is not common in Minnesota. Confirmatory diagnosis is based on the presence of characteristic symptoms and signs on leaves, bacterial streaming from lesions seen with a microscope, and confirmation of the presence of the bacterial pathogen. Management of Goss’s wilt: This disease can be managed by using resistant hybrids, rotating away from corn production, using tillage that buries corn residue after harvest, and by controlling grassy weeds.

Mobile drip irrigation aims to use water more efficiently

By James Schmidt, K-State Research and Extension Using water efficiently is at the forefront of many agricultural producers’ minds, and the advent of mobile drip irrigation aims to create a more resourceful way to water crops. Danny Rogers, professor of biological and agricultural engineering at Kansas State University and other researchers are analyzing the technology and looking at ways to improve it in new field trials throughout Kansas. Other researchers on the project are located in Garden City, Kansas, and include Isaya Kisekka and Jonathan Aguilar, both water resource specialists for K-State Research and Extension. “Mobile drip irrigation is the marriage of center pivot technology and microirrigation technology,” said Rogers, a K-State Research and Extension irrigation engineer. “In this case, we have specially designed drip lines that then are attached to the platform of the center pivot, and they’re basically drug in a circle on the surface.” “The water then is applied in narrow strips on the surface to wet a small portion of the area,” Rogers added. “You can control the amount of water by the length of the line, so you can customize as you move out from the center of a pivot to apply more and more water.” Therefore, mobile drip irrigation can be custom designed for each location in the field, he said, and producers could realize uniform water applications at each line. While customization may appeal to today’s producers, the real advantage of the system is its potential to increase water efficiency. “It takes care of one of the major inefficiencies of a typical sprinkler package, where you have all the soil surface wetted and generally wet the crop canopy,” Rogers said. “The water on the surface is exposed to higher evaporation rates and reduces your irrigation efficiency. That’s the advantage of the (mobile irrigation) system; we’re trying to get higher efficiency by reducing the evaporation losses.” Because of the interest in this technology, three demonstration farms have been established to observe it under field conditions. The Kansas Department of Agriculture and the Kansas Water Office, in developing a 50-year water vision plan (http://kwo.org/Vision/rpt_Kansas_Water_Vision_%20 Final_%20Draft_%20012815.pdf) for the state, has expressed support for the field trials. Funding has come from industry and private organizations, as well as the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the Kansas Water Office. “Part of that (water vision) plan was to establish some sites to demonstrate new and improved irrigation technology,” Rogers said. “So it seemed like a natural fit with producer interest and the Kansas Department of Agriculture interest to look at what we might do to help further improve irrigation efficiency.” The researchers plan to analyze the potential benefits, which are usually measured in yield increases or improvements in water productivity versus the cost of increased management, which is required to install and operate these systems, according to Rogers. “We already talked about the benefits of potentially increasing irrigation efficiency, but it does come at a cost of some other management issues you have to overcome,” he said. “These require the crops to be planted in a circle versus straight rows; you have a lot more hardware out there, which requires more costs and a bit more management.” With further mobile drip irrigation research, he said, findings will hopefully show how producers can improve or maintain full yield potential with more efficient water usage. Reducing water usage would decrease overall water costs. “We’ll be observing these same fields over time, in the three- to five-year time range,” Rogers said. “That helps us see whether the performance is stable under a variety of climatic conditions.” For more information about K-State Research and Extension and its work on the state’s water challenges, log on to Water (https://www.ksre.k-state.edu/agriculture/water/). More information about water technology research in response to the Kansas 50-year Water Vision plan can be found in a recent news release (http://www.ksre.k-state.edu/news/news-stories/2016news-releases/june/water-technology062316.html) from KState Research and Extension and the Kansas Water Office. K-State Research and Extension is a short name for the Kansas State University Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, a program designed to generate and distribute useful knowledge for the well-being of Kansans. Supported by county, state, federal and private funds, the program has county Extension offices, experiment fields, area Extension offices and regional research centers statewide. Its headquarters is on the K-State campus, Manhattan.

In addition, the total amount of herbicides used has increased dramatically. From 2006 to 2015, total herbicide use in South Dakota has increased from 5.62 to 9.03 million pounds, a 61% increase. Meanwhile, USDA/NASS survey data showed that soybean acres planted increased 30% from 3.95 to 5.15 million acres. The disproportional increase in herbicide usage compared to acre planted indicated a higher amount of herbicides were applied in 2015 on a per acre basis. This could partly explain the increase in crop chemical expenditure in soybean production in recent years on a

per acre basis. To compare the change of weed management practices in South Dakota over the past decade, the three most widely used herbicides in terms of percentage of planted acres were identified for each survey year (Table 3). Back in 2006, glyphosate isopropylamine salt was applied to 97% of the planted area, clearly the dominating herbicide used in South Dakota. Over the past decade, however, its usage has gradually declined, both in terms of percentage of planted acres and total amount applied. After the introduction of glyphosate potassium salt, its usage soon exceeded glyphosate isopropylamine salt. Both products control weeds by preventing amino acid synthesis (Oklahoma Cooperative Extension). CONTINUED ON PAGE C46

Cost-effective pest management practices CONTINUED FROM PAGE C44

Extensive reliance on a single herbicide by so many producers has eventually resulted in the emergence of GR weeds on many farms. As a result, herbicides that rely on different modes of action began to be adopted by more and more producers (Table 3). For example, a new herbicide, sulfentrazone, which controls weed by disrupting the cell membrane, was used on 30% of the soybean acres in 2015. This suggests more

SD soybean producers began to use weedmanagement practices that account for glyphosate resistance. Such practices were backed up by a study by ERS (Livingston et al. 2015), which shows that after 2 years of weed management, practices that account for glyphosate resistance were more cost effective and generated higher economic profit compared to the practice that ignores glyphosate resistance.

Cost Effective Weed-Management Choices to Consider To manage glyphosate resistance more cost effectively, the following weed-management choices should be considered: (1) combine glyphosate with herbicides of different modes of action; (2) apply glyphosate during fewer years and (3) most importantly, not to apply glyphosate during

consecutive growing seasons (Livingston et al. 2015). In addition, as weed seeds can be easily carried between fields by wind, water, animals, and movement of farm equipment, successful weed control can hardly be accomplished by a single party. Therefore, more cost effective weed management can be achieved when neighboring farms take collaborative actions.

Wyoming 4-H’ers target bee decline in plan formed in Washington, D.C. By University of Wyoming Extension

Wyoming 4-H’ers during a trip to Washington, D.C., applied their heads, hands, hearts and health (4-H’er pledge to better the world) to solve declining bee numbers in their home state. The group of 12 4-H’ers from five counties won $500 at the Citizenship Washington Focus (CWF) for a plan to create a beekeeping curriculum and offer $250 to a Wyoming 4-H’er whose bees produced the best honey. That 4-H’er could then use the money to expand her or his beehive. Farm Credit provided the money. The Wyoming group members were: Big Horn County – Nyckalas Harvey Niobrara County – Taten Gaukel, Kaden Gaukel, Amber Jensen, Meghan Proctor Sweetwater County – Andrew Hamilton Sheridan County – Emma Balstad Teton County – Teage Dayton, Zoie Dayton, Milo Mattson, Molly Moyer, James Raube Bee numbers in the U.S. have decreased more than 50 percent since the 1990s. From April 2015 to April 2016, beekeepers in America lost 44 percent of their honey bee colonies, according to the Bee Informed Partnership (https:// beeinformed.org), whose members include the USDA and National Institute of Food and Agriculture. The 4-H’ers want to help increase numbers in Wyoming by encouraging other 4-H’ers to become involved in beekeeping. “We will use half of the $500 to help get the bee project started so 4-H’ers can have their own bee habitat and hives,” said Balstad, a member of the Tongue River Roundup 4-H Club. 4-H’ers from across the U.S. are participating in CWF this summer. Wyoming participated with Montana and Nebraska 4-H’ers in the second session, June 11-18. 4-H’ers learn about the legislative process and meet with their state’s delegations. The agenda changed this year to have each 4-H group identify a problem in their state and provide a solution, said Platte County 4-H educator Brenda McKinzie, who accompanied the Wyoming 4-H’ers. Each 4-H delegation had to present the problem, an action plan and develop a video to post on Instagram. National 4-H Council members judged the efforts. “I think they did excellent,” said McKinzie. Balstad and others introduced the beekeeping project to 4-H’ers attending the Showcase Showdown in Laramie last month and will work with the state 4-H office to develop a curriculum for next year. Those 4-H’ers in the project will bring their honey to the annual Showcase Showdown for judging. ##### When an egg floats in water, it is “off” and should not be eaten. ##### After measuring the fingers of 298 men and women, researchers at the University of Alberta, Canada, concluded that the shorter a man’s index finger as compared to his ring finger, the more physically aggressive he is likely to be. (Female finger-length ratios showed no correlation with any of the measures used.)

Your grass is drying out... Keep adding pounds this fall with BGF-30 Protein is often the first limiting nutrient on most forage programs, minerals and vitamins play an important role in helping cows stay healthy and in maintaining reproductive efficiency. CRYSTAL-PHOS™ is a weather and waste proof mineral supplement that cows will consume readily along with BGF-30™. Place a BGF-30™ barrel with every 20-30 head of cows and a CRYSTALPHOS® barrel for approximately every 40-70 head. Studies have shown that cows will consume mineral better from CRYSTAL-PHOS. Try the “combo” program ~ it works!

WeatherAll® is a protective coating applied to the BioBarrel® as a final step in the manufacturing process. It is composed of an edible, food-grade, wax coating that helps protect and slow down BioBarrel® degradation when encountering wet conditions. The protective coating also helps reduce the attraction that some cattle have to the BioBarrel® container once it is softened under extreme wet conditions, thus reducing the incidence of cattle consuming the container faster than the CRYSTALYX® product. WeatherAll® Protective Technology broadens the application and effectiveness of the BioBarrel® container to all geographies within North America.
