Resource describing hantavirus, prevention methods
In light of recent hantavirus cases in Gallatin and Carbon counties, Montana State University Extension has updated and redistributed a MontGuide about the potentially deadly infection, which is typically spread to humans by deer mice. The guide, “Hantavirus: What is it? What can be done about it?” describes symptoms, risk factors, treatment and prevention of this serious infection, which is fatal in more than 30 percent of reported cases, according to the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. “Don’t assume that hantavirus only happens to unhealthy or older people,” said Extension housing and environmental health specialist Mike Vogel. “Anyone who is exposed can be infected. Cleaning or working in old or unoccupied buildings or crawl spaces is a potential risk for all people.” The guide relays suggestions from the CDC for eliminating deer mice and other rodents who may carry the virus and offers tips for lessening contact with them. Learn how to prevent rodents from entering a home, reduce rodent shelter and food sources around a home, how to use spring-loaded traps if necessary and how to correctly clean contaminated areas. The publication is available online from the MSU Extension home page at msuextension.org, by calling the MSU Extension Distribution Center, (406) 994-3273, and through your local county Extension office, or download it here: http://msuextension.org/publications/homehealthandfamily/mt199404hr.pdf

Another potential pest in Montana? By Gadi V.P. Reddy, Western Triangle Ag Research Center
Introduction: We already have been confronted with the wheat stem sawfly and wireworms on wheat and barley, and flea beetles on canola. Now there is another insect causing foliage damage on field peas this year: the pea leaf weevil. Damage is more severe throughout Flathead County and the Golden Triangle areas of Montana. Pea leaf weevil larvae (Sitona lineatus) feed on the root nodules of field peas, but the adults will feed on leaves of a wide range of cultivated and wild legume species. This year we are seeing 90% seedling damage (on clam leaf) in some fields. Damage: Adult beetles feed on leaf margins and growing points of legume seedlings. Feeding on the leaf margins produces a characteristic scalloped (notched) appearance (Figure 2). Larvae feed on the nitrogenfixing nodules of legume species thereby reducing nitrogen fixation by the plant.

Deadline for Aug. issue is Aug. 2.
Nominal economic thresholds in the Pacific Northwest suggest that a value of 0.3 to 1 weevil per seedling (also 30 % seedlings with terminal leaf damage) is considered optimum time to initiate control methods. Control Measures: Fields with high levels of residual nitrogen in the soil are less likely to suffer yield losses from PLW larvae and should not require control measures because the pea plant can rely on soil nitrogen instead of its own nitrogen fixation for adequate growth. Foliar applications of insecticide are recommended if one (or more) feeding marks occur per three clam-leaf pairs (the most recently emerged leaves). According to Dr. Hector A. Cárcamo, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, Lethbridge, the foliar applications do not seem to work on this pest because of re-invasion by new waves of the insect. However, they have seen that despite heavy feeding sometimes yield losses are not bad especially if the soil had enough nitrogen. They have recommended seed treatments over foliar insecticide applications despite mixed results with them. He suggested that trap crops of winter peas have potential because they concentrate the weevils and they can be sprayed repeatedly there in 10% of the field. Earlier planted peas may also work. Dr. Gadi V.P. Reddy suggests that pheromone baited traps will help in monitoring and mass trapping the weevil population. The aggregation pheromone has been identified as 4-methyl-3,5heptanedione but requires studies on the optimization of the trapping technique for the field use. Dr. Maya Evenden at the University of Alberta has been researching the pheromone lures in southern Alberta. Drs. Reddy and Dr. Stougaard and their team in collaboration with Dr. Cárcamo are planning on developing a research project dealing with integrating control tactics for tacking this pest.

Washington State University field day July 10
By CAHNRS and WSU Extension Anaerobic digestion, a biological process of breaking down organic waste material, and a suite of new tools that add value to the process will be featured during a WSU field day on July 10 near Lynden, Washington. Researchers at Washington State University (WSU), working with commercial partners, have transformed an environmental concern in agriculture into an environmental, economic, and social solution. “The need to simultaneously produce renewable energy and assist growers in meeting nutrient management plans and mitigate air and water quality concerns is driving the development of these technologies,” said Craig Frear, a scientist in WSU’s Department of Biological Systems Engineering and a leader in the effort to expand a system of complementary technologies centered on anaerobic digestion. At WSU’s Anaerobic Digestion Systems Field Day several dairy operations in Whatcom County that have worked with WSU to develop and test these technologies will open their doors to the public. The event will showcase nutrient recovery mechanisms that result in useable biofertilizers, solids separation techniques, biogas production as well how to move from testing and demonstration into commercialization of value-added products. “Biofertilizers that are produced through the nutrient recovery process can be used by farmers as replacements for fossil fuel-based fertilizers. It’s truly a win-win,” Frear said. Beyond environmental benefits, anaerobic digestion systems present economic development opportunities both for dairy operations as well as local communities. In addition to income for producers and tax revenues, digester systems generate jobs during construction and for maintaining operations. A new 7.5-minute video, Anaerobic Digestion: Beyond Waste Management, features commercial operators and Frear showing how state-of-the-art anaerobic digestion systems can offer multiple benefits to society. The video is produced by the WSU Center for Sustaining Agriculture and Natural Resources and is available at http://youtu.be/Ei49Z4oeUtY. The field day is sponsored by the Center for Sustaining Agriculture and Natural Resources with support from an NRCS Conservation and Innovation Grant, and WSU Ag Research Center Biomass Research.

Learn to cook with lamb
By NDSU Extension Service The typical American eats less than 1 pound of lamb per year, while people in many other countries eat 5 to 25 times that amount. If you don’t have a lot of experience cooking with American lamb, knowing how to prepare it can be one of your biggest challenges. Or maybe you cook with lamb and you’d like some new recipes or cooking methods, or you want to know about various meat cuts. You’ll be able to find the answers to these and many other questions at a Cooking With Lamb workshop that will be held from 9 a.m. to noon August 2 at the Stutsman County Fairgrounds in Jamestown, North Dakota. Nick Forrest, chairman of the American Lamb Board, will lead this workshop. The North Dakota State University (NDSU) Extension Service and North Dakota Lamb and Wool Producers Association are sponsoring the event. The Cooking With Lamb workshop is one of several events scheduled during the North Dakota Lamb and Wool Expo set for August 2-3 at the Stutsman County Fairgrounds. Other activities include: • Workshops on the morning of August 2 on working with wool and training a stock dog • Presentations in the afternoon and evening of August 2 on lamb fabrication, lamb quality characteristics, the U.S. lamb market, flock health management and the future of the sheep industry • Lamb dinner on August 2 and a lamb lunch August 3 • Ram consignor sheep show and Jamestown ram and ewe sale on August 3 • Vendor fair both days • Sheep shearing and wool handling demonstration the evening of August 2 Also, a workshop on alternative sheep grazing systems will be held at the AL Ranch near Woodworth the morning of August 2.

My granddaughter got very excited last time I visited because she wanted to show me a video on this YouTube thing. It was of a cat doing something or other…nothing special. But it made my granddaughter giggle, so I humored her and chuckled right along with her. After we were done, she looked up at me with those big doe eyes of hers. “Grandpa,” she said. “Did you have anything like YouTube when you were young? “Yes, we did.” I said proudly. “What was it called?” she asked, eyes widening with excitement. “Television.”

Although it is tempting, it is important not to ignore or gloss over the situation if you sense your child is concerned especially for school aged children. Letting children keep their worrisome feelings to themselves can be harmful. Silence may lead to the child filling in the blanks himself with his imagination which can be much worse than the already tragic event.

NDSU helping grow local foods capacity
By NDSU Extension Service The North Dakota State University (NDSU) Extension Service is launching a series of workshops to help communities get involved in the local foods movement. The first workshop, Building Capacity for Local/Regional Food and Understanding the Industry, will be held August 13 at FARRMS in Medina. Interest in eating locally produced food continues to grow among consumers, restaurants, schools and grocers. The reasons vary, but health, safety, freshness and knowing where one’s food comes from are four key drivers. “The interest in eating local is behind the NDSU Extension effort to train local people to support opportunities to grow foods here,” says Abby Gold, Extension nutrition and wellness specialist. “After the training, program participants will develop projects that help their communities explore strategies to increase local food availability.” From 2007 through 2010, local food sales increased from $1.2 billion to $5 billion nationally. This trend appears to be continuing because more farmers markets open each year and the number of small farms (those less than 100 acres) is expanding. North Dakota has gained more than nine farmers markets in the last two years. Plus, existing farmers markets are offering more products and adding new vendors. New means of direct product sales, such as community-supported agriculture (also known as CSAs) and food cooperatives, also are becoming available. In a 2011 NDSU symposium that examined scaling up local foods, participants acknowledged that training to help expand this effort, especially in local areas, was needed. “The training needs varied from helping producers with food safety issues to helping consumers better understand how local foods support good nutrition,” Gold says. Issues North Dakota faces in meeting the demand for locally produced food are the lack of producers, transportation and rural retail outlets. “Small farm specialty crop producers account for less than 5 percent of our agricultural producers,” says Glenn Muske, NDSU Extension’s rural and agribusiness enterprise development specialist. “Meeting this growing demand will mean helping potential producers see this as an opportunity and helping ensure they can do it profitably.” To register for the workshop, visit http://www. ag.ndsu.edu/smallbusiness. The registration deadline is July 15. The workshop is free of charge. Participants will receive travel stipends and a small grant to initiate a local foods program in their communities.

Cut back chrysanthemums?
Can I cut back the chrysanthemums in my landscape? Chrysanthemums can be cut back until about July 1. This keeps the plants from flowering too early so that you can enjoy them in the fall.
Tall reblooming irises?
Are there tall reblooming irises? Yes, there are irises that rebloom in the late summer and fall.

May/June showers bring July Hay
By Dr. Jeff Lehmkuhler, Beef Extension Specialist, University of Kentucky This spring much of the southeast has received adequate Contact Marion Jones at 406-288-3883 precipitation which is evident in the drought monitor map for the end of May. Pasture and hay fields in the upper southeast have been thriving under these conditions. However, these same conditions have delayed fieldwork and in particular hay harvest. Our cool-season grass fields have passed their prime in regards to quality yield. The optimal harvest time For Pondera Extended & Special Care to purchase a van with a wheel chair lift. is late boot stage to early flowering for the balance between yield and quality. Much of the grass is approaching dough Sunday, July 21, 2013 at 5:30 pm stage in which the seeds are developing and soon the plant Conrad, MT will be at full maturity.

Ammoniating the fescue hay Dave Brownell (406) 788-3242 at a rate of 3 lbs of ammonia per 100 lbs of hay doubled the email: davebrownell51@gmail.com crude protein content and increased animal performance to 0.4 lbs per day compared to a loss of 0.15 lbs per day for the non-ammoniated fescue. Ammoniation of low quality forages such as straw has been shown to improve forage digestibility by 8-15% while little improvement is seen in higher quality forages. The greatest responses to ammoniation in tall fescue are expected to occur for mature tall fescue. Ammoniating forages requires great caution and should only be conducted after the appropriate safety measures have been implemented. Sealing the plastic is critical and the plastic must remain intact. Dozer Lowboy What does this late cut hay mean for the cowherd? This question is one that doesn’t come up too often because hay is Scrapers Gravel Truck hay, right? We can go through various ways to put a value on Road Grader Water Truck hay or feedstuff using common reference feeds. What about setting a goal for a hay crop and then paying a premium or Excavator Skid Steer discounting the hay value based on how much the hay misses the target? If one were to set a TDN value of 55% for their Backhoe Trencher cow hay, this would mean that for each ton of hay produced or purchased there would be 1,100 lbs of TDN. If the weather Fuson Excavation delayed cutting or one was too busy with other things and the hay crop was cut later resulting in the hay testing only 48%, 129 Conrad-Dupuyer Road Phone 406-271-3837 we can agree that it is of lower quality and the hay would Conrad, Montana 59425 Cell 406-289-0210 have 960 lbs of TDN per ton. What is the value difference? Using the lowest cost energy supplement, one could value fusonexcavation@yahoo.com the hay based on this comparative energy difference.

Anti-cancer resource found in Big Horn Mountains
By University of Wyoming Extension Wyoming’s Big Horn Mountains contain a valuable resource that could help fight cancer. Valtcho Jeliazkov, director of the University of Wyoming’s (UW) Sheridan Research and Extension Center, found that accessions (members of a plant collection in a particular location) of Rocky Mountain juniper and creeping junipers contain relatively high concentrations of podophyllotoxin (PPT), which is a chemical used to facilitate production of the anti-cancer drugs etoposide, etopophos and teniposide. “Those drugs are used to treat lung and testicular cancer, neuroblastoma, hepatoma and other tumors,” said Jeliazkov. “Other derivatives of PPT are used to treat psoriasis and malaria and are being tested as a treatment for rheumatoid arthritis. PPT has also demonstrated antiviral activity.” Jeliazkov must conduct more research. “We do not know if the junipers in the Big Horn Mountains contain the highest amount of PPT,” said Jeliazkov. “We are sampling other areas of Wyoming and in other states. This is a continuing project; we might find accessions with higher PPT concentrations elsewhere.” Jeliazkov and Lyn Ciampa, an undergraduate student at Sheridan College and UW, collected samples of Juniperus in 2011 and 2012 at elevations from 4,500 feet to 10,000 feet. Representative subsamples were identified by Bonnie Heidel, a botanist at UW’s Wyoming Natural Diversity Database, and deposited in the UW Rocky Mountain Herbarium. PPT is currently extracted from the Himalayan mayapple (Podophyllum hexandrum Royle), which is an endangered species in Asia. Jeliazkov will continue his bioprospecting work in the Big Horn Mountains and beyond this summer after the snow retracts. “Our goal is to develop juniper cultivars for commercial production of podophyllotoxin,” said Jeliazkov. “I believe we can develop a cultivar for commercial production of podophyllotoxin.”

InfoAg welcomes Dr. Olga Walsh to the program
Dr. Olga Walsh of Montana State University will present Precision Sensing – Potential and Challenges at the InfoAg Conference, July 16-18, 2013 at the Crowne Plaza in Springfield, Illinois. More about the speaker Born in St. Petersburg Russia, received B.S. in Soil Science (specializing in Soil Chemistry) in 1997 from St. Petersburg State University, St. Petersburg, Russia. Completed M.S. in 2007 and Ph.D. in 2009 in Soil Science (specializing in Soil Fertility and Nutrient Management) from the Department of Plant and Soil Sciences, Oklahoma State University, Stillwater, Oklahoma. Ph.D. research focus: I. Use of Real-Time Soil Moisture Data for Refined GreenseekerTM Sensor Based Nitrogen Recommendations in Winter Wheat. II. Effect of Foliar Phosphorus Fertilization on Corn Grain Yields and Phosphorus Use Efficiency. III. Identifying Soil Moisture Indices for Refined Yield Potential Prediction in Winter Wheat. IV. Effect of Nitrogen Fertilizer Rate and Application Time on Nitrogen Mineralization in a Continuous Winter Wheat Production. Since 2010 - Assistant Professor of Soil Nutrient Management at Western Triangle Ag. Research Center, in Conrad, Montana. My appointment is 80% research, 10% teaching and 10% service. My responsibilities are to develop an applied, field-oriented research program that focuses on nutrient management strategies that optimize economic and environmental sustainability of agricultural cropping systems with an emphasis on small grain production. My areas of expertise and research interests include Precision Soil Nutrient Management with emphasis on Nitrogen Use Efficiency. More about the presentation Precision agriculture tools such as sensor-based technologies have been shown to be effective in detecting nutrient deficiencies as well as biotic and abiotic stress in various crops. Remote sensors make it possible to accurately access the crop’s nutrient status and account for spatial and temporal variability. This enables adjusting fertilizer application rates according to site-specific conditions which results in more efficient, profitable, and sustainable crop production. Remote sensing is a precision agriculture technique that quantitatively measures vegetation indices such as the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI). Some of the challenges of utilizing sensor-based tools include differences in sensor make and model, time of sensing/crop growth stage, environment (crop type, management, temperature, soil color), and human factors (height, speed, steadiness, consistency). The presentation will focus on identifying the potential benefits of sensor-based technologies for detecting stress in crops and on discussing ways to optimize the accuracy and precision of data acquisition. About InfoAg 2013 InfoAg continues to be the premier precision agriculture event for producers, consultants, and the crop production industry. The conference provides a program with multiple breakout sessions offering a wide rate of topics relating to precision agriculture. “We offer a blended program hitting on key aspects of precision ag,” said Dr. Steve Phillips of the International Plant Nutrition Institute (IPNI), which hosts the conference. “That program attracts participants from all aspects of the industry, which builds on InfoAg’s strength as a networking tool for participants, speakers, exhibitors and sponsors.” The conference provides the ideal environment for meeting the players who are shaping the industry,“ said Quentin Rund, Conference Secretary. “Sharing ideas and talking with others who are facing the same questions or providing answers is the spirit of the conference.” In addition to the conference breakout sessions, keynote speakers, sponsor showcase, and hands-on workshops, the InfoAg exhibit hall provides an excellent venue for talking with hardware and software vendors, sponsors, and other attendees. For more information about InfoAg contact Quentin Rund at (217) 762-7955 or info@infoag.org and visit www. infoag.org. ##### “Raising a grandchild 24/7 allows me to pass on so many things to my beautiful granddaughter,” said Grandma Sally grandmother of eight. “I want to instill in her that she can be whatever she wants to be. Having good manners and being polite to others will go a long way in achieving her goals. I want to make her understand that not everyone is as fortunate as her, but that everyone deep down has good qualities...that she shouldn’t judge someone on their appearance.”

Prairie Fare: Keep milk breaks this summer
By Julie Garden-Robinson, Food and Nutrition Specialist, NDSU Extension Service “I’ll have chocolate milk,” my 9-year-old daughter said the other night at a restaurant as we celebrated her sister’s birthday and the end of the school year. My daughter nearly always opts for chocolate milk, even when fancy kids’ fruit punch drinks with colorful little umbrellas are on the menu. Like white milk, chocolate milk has nine essential nutrients, including calcium, potassium and vitamin D. These nutrients often are lacking in the diets of children and adults. Studies have shown that flavored milks are a way to get growing kids to drink more milk. When schools have removed chocolate milk as a choice, overall milk consumption decreases. In our case, chocolate milk has become the restaurant “treat” because we always have gallons of white milk in our fridge at home. School’s out and regular milk breaks are over. With different schedules and less structured days, kids’ eating habits can become a little delinquent from the gold-star standard. Be sure you and your family members don’t earn “D’s” in dairy. Dairy breaks are a good idea for adults to boost calcium intake, too. If you like coffee, consider whitening it with milk. You also could try a yogurt break or a cheese-andcracker break. Athletes may want to take advantage of chocolate milk as a means of quenching thirst and refueling muscles. Chocolate milk has the near-perfect combination of protein and carbohydrate to refuel muscle glycogen, the storage form of glucose, after a workout. Dairy foods also may help with weight management, according to researchers. In a six-month study, two groups of people consumed the same amount of calories, but one group ate three or four servings of dairy products as part of their diet. The high-dairy group lost 24 pounds, significantly more than the low-dairy group, and they lost more weight in the abdominal area. In other words, eat dairy foods, trim calories and get more exercise if your goal is to lose a “spare tire.” As the weather warms, kids of all ages may opt for soda pop and other sweetened beverages instead of milk as their preferred form of refreshment. This cuts calcium intake and fills them up with empty calories, which can lead to weight gain. Drinking more milk, however, can crowd out sweetened beverages. University of Iowa researchers surveyed the parents of 645 children. They found that kids as young as 2 who drank more milk were less likely to drink many sweetened beverages. Here are some tips to help keep you and your family ahead of the curve when it comes to nutrition practices: • Drink milk with meals. Aim for at least three daily servings of milk and other dairy foods. Have water with snacks and save sweetened beverages for occasional treats. • Eat meals as a family as often as possible. Kids who eat with their families have a healthier overall diet, and they consume more calcium-rich milk and fewer sweetened soft drinks. • Try some new dairy-based recipes this summer or add some dairy to your favorites. Aim for three servings of dairy a day. Sprinkle cheese on eggs, top baked potatoes with nonfat yogurt and chives, and experiment with refreshing smoothie recipes. Try Greek yogurt as a protein-rich snack. For more information about nutrition and fitness, check out http://www.ndsu.edu/eatsmart or see the Prairie Fare blog at http://prairiefare.areavoices.com. Here’s a recipe with a clever title courtesy of the Midwest Dairy Council at http://www.midwestdairy.com.

Weeping pussy willows
By Ron Smith, Horticulturist, NDSU Extension Service Q: I have two young weeping pussy willow trees that I planted this spring. One tree’s tips turned hard and brown. What does this mean and what should I do? Thank you. A: Unfortunately, I have nothing to tell you about what happened to your weeping pussy willow, other than those tips are probably dead. I don’t know of an insect or pathogen that would damage just the tips of these plants. All I can guess is that it must be some sort of an environmental impact such as a late frost last spring.

2013 South Dakota State 4-H Hippology contest
By Andy Jensen, SDSU Extension 4-H Youth Program Advisor Do you love learning about breeds of horses, different types of tack, and everything in-between? South Dakota 4-H has a unique learning opportunity for youth who enjoy showing off their know how in the horse project without having to exhibit a horse. Kids can form a team and enter the State 4-H Hippology contest! Hippology, or the study of horses, is a competition where youth are able to demonstrate their knowledge and expertise in several areas of the equine industry. Counties may send two teams per age division, which has a minimum of three members, but no more than four. There are two age divisions youth can compete in, junior, and senior. Only senior contestants, ages 14-19, are eligible to compete for the national trip award, the 2014 National Western Roundup Hippology Contest, held in Denver, Colorado. Last year the Roberts County 4-H Hippology Team represented South Dakota at the 2013 Western National Roundup and placed ninth overall. 2013 South Dakota State Hippology Contest Wednesday, July 24 | Huron, South Dakota The 2013 South Dakota State Hippology contest will be held on Wednesday, July 24, during the South Dakota State 4-H Horse Show in Huron, South Dakota. Check-in for the event will begin at 3:30 p.m. in the Expo Building, with the contest starting at 4:00 p.m. The judging portion will be conducted during the Horse Judging Contest. Awards will be handed out at 7:30 a.m. on Thursday, July 25, in the South Arena located in the Open Class Beef Complex. There are several different phases of the hippology contest. • Examination Phase – Kids individually take a written exam which can cover any aspect of the industry from basic horse care to equine history to breed description and selection. • Station Phase – In this phase there will be five different identification stations that will put youth’s knowledge to the test. This is also done individually. Examples of the stations are: saddle part identification; tack, bits, and bridle assembly; farrier tool identification; grain and feed rations or identification; parasite life cycle charts; blemishes versus unsoundness identification; horse health assessment using pulse and respiration rates, temperature, and capillary refill; as well as breed identification based on pictures and/or descriptions. Two minutes will be allowed per station. • Judging Phase – Contestants judge at least two classes of horses during the Horse Judging Contest, also held on Wednesday, July 24. These classes will consist of one halter and one performance class. • Team Problem phase – During this time teams will be presented with a problem, which could be related to reproduction, land management, behavior problems, balancing rations, establishing a new horse facility, conditioning and training programs, as well as much more. Each team will have time to develop a plan to present to the judge. Each team will be evaluated on their understanding of problem, how they responded, and their logic on explaining their suggestion or solution orally. The judge may ask questions to further clarify. What do you need to compete in the hippology contest? Get ready to be challenged and bring a positive attitude along with a pencil! Contestants must wear a white button-up shirt, which can be long or short sleeved, boots and denim jeans. Those who participate in the English discipline are allowed to wear their English attire. Registration Interested youth are encouraged to contact their Horse Project Leader or 4-H Youth Program Advisor (http://igrow. org/about/our-experts/) to register for the state contest. For a full list of rules and other youth in action contest held during the South Dakota 4-H Horse Show, please refer to the South Dakota 4-H Horse Show Guide (http://igrow.org/up/ resources/01-3000-2012.pdf).
Pruning crape myrtle
When can I prune a crape myrtle? Crape myrtle is a beautiful summer flowering shrub. This plant flowers on new wood. It can be pruned this spring. However, I caution gardeners to wait until they begin to see new leaves starting to grow in mid to late April. Crape myrtles may be killed back to the ground by cold temperatures. By waiting, you will know what wood is alive and what is dead.
Circular offers information on rain gardens
By University of Nebraska-Lincoln IANR For homeowners and others interested in rain gardens, a new University of Nebraska-Lincoln (UNL) Extension interactive online publication can provide the answers. The publication offers information about the benefits of rain gardens and how to choose the right size and site for a garden. It has many features, including instructive videos, slideshows and interactive charts, covering many aspects of rain gardens. Steve Rodie, extension landscape horticulture specialist, was a co-author of the circular. “Rain gardens can be a beneficial addition to home landscapes,” Rodie said.” To be most valuable they need to be designed and built correctly.” A rain garden is a garden positioned so that it can collect rainwater and runoff from houses, preventing that water from reaching storm drains. Rain gardens also filter out pollutants from rainwater and their ability to capture water enhances soil moisture and reduces runoff volumes. Information is included about how to measure the slope of a hill, the area of a roof and the rate that the soil absorbs water. These factors are important to consider when building a rain garden. “The publication will really help people understand how to design a garden successfully,” Rodie said. “Rain gardens provide an opportunity to help conserve water. The captured water can also enhance garden plant health and potentially reduce the need to irrigate plants.” The publication can be found at: http://www.ianrpubs.unl. edu/epublic/live/ec1262/build/ec1262.pdf.

Fertilizing trees
Should I fertilize my trees and shrubs in the spring? No. The roots will not be able to supply water to the new growth that is produced by fertilizing these plants at this time. Fall is the best time to fertilize trees and shrubs. The fertilizer encourages root growth while the top is dormant. In the spring, the plant will grow to match the capability of the roots to supply water to the leaves and branches in the summer.

Pasture productivity
By Katie Klar, senior at the University of Minnesota – Crookston, summer intern Continuous grazing is less time consuming and less work; however, strip grazing is most effective for pasture productivity. Strip grazing is when the pasture is subdivided into paddocks, which causes the livestock not to be able to consume as much as they please throughout the entire pasture. In strip grazing the livestock are put in one paddock for a certain grazing period and then moved to another. This strategy for grazing is beneficial to the producer because it: lets the pasture have a period of rest where it allows the forages to recover improves the efficiency of harvest for the area being grazed gives the roots of the plant the opportunity to grow to greater depths in the soil increases plant food reserves so plants recover quicker after grazing results in forage plants that are healthier, more vigorous, and more productive improves livestock performance When a pasture is continually grazed: forages do not have the ability to recover photosynthetic activity is diminished which causes reduced sugar production in plants significant percentage of root mass dies restricting the ability for plants to get nutrients and water plant re-growth is slow and production of plants is reduced the reduction of healthy, vigorous, desirable plants causes undesirable plants to take their place It is important to have the correct amount of paddocks at the proper size so that your recently grazed paddocks have time to recover before being grazed again. The maximum of six days in one paddock is best for a beef cow/calf operation. Cattle, such as high performance dairy and grass finishing cattle should be in one paddock for about 0.5 to 1 day before moved to another paddock. During a drought the rest periods for each paddock will need to be extended; therefore, weather is an important factor as well. It is also important to know when to stop grazing practices. Overgrazing or overutilization has adverse effects on production and it may carry over to the next season. Grazing below recommended residual stubble heights removes active growing points and the plant will need to re-grow from buds on the roots. Leaving behind significant quantities of forages trampled to the ground is important. Plant residues provide the organisms in the soil with adequate nutrients so that their population increases dramatically. This causes improved mineralization of the organic residues and soil particles. These help the plant grow and also increases water holding capacity significantly. Improving pasture productivity: Manure management (by spreading of manure) Use legumes (to add nitrogen) Commercial fertilizers: Phosphorus and potassium (for legume growth) Nitrogen (for grass forage base) Calcium, Magnesium, and Trace Minerals (for mineral balance and availability of nutrients) Soil pH management (to enhance nutrient availability and increase microbial activity in the soil) Overall, strip grazing is more beneficial for both your livestock and the pasture. Before practicing this method it is important to know how long to keep a certain amount of head in one paddock, when to stop grazing, when to rotate your livestock, and how to effectively manage your pastures for better production. Improving pasture productivity is vital for every producer. For more information, contact Katie or me at 800-4502465, or at stordahl@umn.edu Source: Minnesota Department of Agriculture.

Midsummer Crop Diagnostic Clinics offered
By University of Nebraska-Lincoln IANR Agribusiness professionals and crop producers will take a close-up look at field conditions, research and techniques at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln’s (UNL) midsummer Crop Management Diagnostic Clinics July 17-18. The UNL Extension clinics begin each day with 7:30 a.m. registration at the Agricultural Research and Development Center near Mead, Nebraska and start at 8 a.m. Participants will meet at the August N. Christenson Research and Education Building. Participants can attend one or both of the clinics as subject matter will be different each day. Keith Glewen, UNL extension educator said, “Benefits of the crop management and diagnostic clinics include one-onone attention, on-site plot demonstrations, interaction with other participants, discussions about cutting edge research and an opportunity to earn continuing education credits through Certified Crop Adviser (CCA) program.” The July clinics feature national corn specialist from Purdue University who also happens to be a native Nebraskan, Bob Nielsen. Glewen said, having the opportunity to have Nielsen share his experience and knowledge of corn production live in a cornfield, for many participants will be a once in lifetime educational experience. Topics on July 17 include: Corn Crop Canopy, Light Interception, and Grain Yield; Corn Silage, An Efficient and Economical Use of Corn Residue; Update on Nematodes of Corn and Soybean; Crop Water Use; Making the Most of a Herbicide Application and Feeding a Growing Population in a Shrinking World: A Plant Biosecurity-Food Security Challenge. Six Certified Crop Adviser credits (crop management – 1.5, pest management – 3.0, soil and water management – 1.0, and nutrient management – .5) have been applied for and are pending approval for this clinic. July 18 clinic topics include: Sex in the Corn Field: What Really Goes On Out There?; Evaluating Efficacy of Tank Mixing Herbicides for Hard-to-Control Weeds in Corn; Feedlot Manure and Holding Pond Effluent: N Availability and Environmental Issues; Understanding the Benefits and Limitations of Current Pesticide Application Field Equipment; Crop Scene Investigation (CSI); and Atrazine in Surface/Groundwater. Six Certified Crop Adviser credits (crop management – 1.5, pest management – 3.5, and nutrient management – 1.0) have been applied for and are pending approval for this clinic. Early registration is recommended to reserve a seat and resource materials. Cost for one clinic is $160 for those registering one week in advance and $210 after. Cost for both clinics is $280 one week in advance and $320 after.

Getting rid of moles
Will poisonous peanuts control moles? Will treating the lawn for grubs get rid of the moles? What about using mole plants? Moles do not eat peanuts; they eat insects and earthworms. They do not eat chewing gum either. The use of insecticides to control grubs is not recommended to control moles. They eat other insects that are beneficial in the soil’s environment. Some people think that mole plants, Euphorbia lathyris and caster bean plants repel moles, but their repellent properties are doubtful. In addition, they are poisonous to humans and can become a problem weed.

Cool-season guide for MT growers of peas and lentils
Montana State University (MSU) Extension has published a new guide for growers of peas and lentils. The “Montana Coolseason Pulse Production Guide” provides current best management practices for production of dry pea, lentil, and chickpea for Montana producers. In the traditional wheat-fallow system of crop production common in Montana, the use of annual legumes, or pulse crops, in rotation with wheat can help bring agronomic and financial benefits in terms of soil health, biological activity and overall potential productivity. As of 2012, pulse crops represent more than one-half million acres of the seven million acres in dry-land production in Montana. “This guide provides the most recent best management practices from experts
in crop production, nutrient management, weed, disease, and insect control to help Montana producers successfully raise pulse crops on their farms,” said Kent McVay, author and MSU Extension Cropping System Specialist. The authors of the new pulse guide include the basics for successful production of the pulse crops as well as Internet links to more detailed information. Detailed chapters in the guide address cultural practices; soil fertility and nutrient needs; recommendations by crop; weed management during growth and harvest; disease, insect, pathogen management. The guide is available for download or in print from MSU Extension at www. msuextension.org/store and through your local county Extension office.
New corn and soybean app helps growers plan work
By Lynette Spicer, eXtension A new free application for handheld mobile devices will help corn and soybean growers make field and management decisions. The corn and soybean app was designed to help growers plan their work in the office or on the field. The app includes a crop calendar for corn and soybeans, some of the growth stages for corn, access to crop progress reports and useful facts for helping make production decisions. The calendar in the app sets approximate dates for fieldwork and management. The app’s features include: Useful everyday equivalences and measures -weight and seed compositions -row width and length -how much is one acre, gallon, pound Production calendar for prioritizing and scheduling work -corn for grain -corn for silage -full season soybean -double crop soybean Growth stages -key growth stages in corn -corn growing degree days calculations -GDDs expectations Reports -USDA crop reports -Development and harvesting progress by state The app was developed by the corn and soybean experts on eXtension led by Chad Lee, grain crops Extension specialist at the University of Kentucky. Additional images from the app are at http://www.extension.org/67906. The app may be downloaded at https://itunes.apple.com/ us/app/cornproduction/id643458959?mt=8.

Using cover crop cocktails
Conservation Districts in Glacier, Pondera, Toole and Liberty counties, are beginning a five-year demonstration project to improve soil health. Utilizing DNRC grant funds, cover crop “cocktails” will be planted on eight sites, two per county. Each participating producer will dedicate up to a 30 acre parcel for the project, with half of the acreage planted with the cover crop cocktail mixture (in place of fallow) and the remaining acreage in a cash crop. Each year, the land-use management will be reversed so no fallow will occur on the parcel. Each site will be monitored annually for changes in soil nutrient levels, biological activity and moisture levels for the five year period. By splitting the parcel, data collection and monitoring of soil moisture-use can occur each year followed with a cover crop. The data collected will provide an opportunity to evaluate the use of cover crop cocktails in the process of changing and improving soil health under a variety of growing, management and climate (rain and temperature) conditions. Each producer will choose his own cocktail mixture each year, with the caveat that at least five species from a list of warm- and cool-season, broadleaf and grassy, annual legumes, oilseeds, and brassicas (radish, turnip, canola, flax, etc.) will be used. Producers will also choose the seeding date and termination date and method. Several sites will be incorporated into a short-term grazing plan that will retain 50% of the forage to feed the “underground livestock”. The project will begin Spring 2013 and proceed through the 2018 growing season. There will be a crop tour each year, hosted by one of the conservation districts, beginning in Glacier County on July 23rd. At the end of the project, the data will be presented to producers at a final seminar. The affiliated NRCS offices and the MT Salinity Control Association are providing technical assistance with the longterm project to improve soil health productivity. The Western Agricultural Research Center (WTARC) at Conrad will also have five-year cover crop plots associated with this project.

New superintendent, plant pathologist appointed
Hans Schneider, currently living in the Netherlands, will join the Montana State University faculty and be both superintendent and associate professor of plant pathology at the Eastern Agricultural Research Center in Sidney, pending approval of the Montana Board of Regents. Schneider will assume his duties on July 15, thus he will participate in the Eastern Agricultural Research Center Field Day on July 18. Schneider will develop a field-oriented research program that focuses on integrated disease management in pulse crops, sugar beets, and other crops under production in Eastern Montana. Additionally, he will be responsible for the administration and management of resources in support of EARC’s research and outreach programs pertinent to
Montana agriculture. “We are very fortunate to have someone of Dr. Schneider’s experience and abilities join our faculty,” said Barry Jacobsen, long-time MSU plant pathologist and interim head of the Department of Research Centers. Jacobsen said Schneider will bring exceptional expertise to address sugar beet diseases, as he has spent the majority of his career working on sugar beet diseases with the Institute for Sugarbeet Research in the Netherlands. He has also worked on diseases of bulb crops, potatoes and woody ornamentals, so he is well situated to address diseases of other crops important to Eastern Montana. Schneider received his Ph.D. in 1998 at Wageningen Agricultural University in the Netherlands.

Not too early to vaccinate for anthrax
By NDSU Extension Service Now is the time for livestock producers to get their animals vaccinated against anthrax. “Conditions this year are conducive to the development of anthrax,” warns Charlie Stoltenow, North Dakota State University (NDSU) Extension Service veterinarian. Those conditions include the heavy rainfall most of North Dakota is experiencing this spring. Anthrax spores can survive in the soil for decades, and rain and flooding can raise the spores to the ground’s surface. When animals graze or consume forage or water contaminated with the spores, they are exposed to the disease. “That is why cattle should be vaccinated before they are turned out onto pasture,” Stoltenow says. “Vaccination is especially important for livestock in areas with a history of anthrax.” While the disease mainly has been reported in northeastern, southeastern and south-central North Dakota, it has been found in almost every part of the state, according to state animal health officials. Cases of the disease occur in the region almost every year. Livestock in areas where anthrax has been found should be vaccinated about four weeks before the disease usually appears. In North Dakota, that generally is July or August, although cases have occurred as early as March. Herds within six miles of a prior case of anthrax also should be vaccinated, especially in years with wet spring weather and/or flooding. Because immunity appears to wane after about six months, livestock need to be vaccinated for anthrax annually. “The vaccine is inexpensive and very effective,” Stoltenow says. He recommends producers check with their veterinarian to make sure their livestock’s vaccination schedule is adequate and the vaccination is up to date. If anthrax is detected in a herd, producers should move the herd immediately to a new pasture away from where dead animals were found to prevent other animals from getting infected, Stoltenow says. During severe outbreak conditions, animals that haven’t been vaccinated and are exposed to anthrax may have to be treated with antibiotics and then vaccinated. Producers thinking about treating with antibiotics should contact their veterinarian because antibiotics decrease the effectiveness of the vaccine, Stoltenow says. Producers also should monitor their herds for unexpected deaths and report those losses to their veterinarian. Because anthrax also is a risk to humans, people should not move a carcass. The carcasses of animals that died from anthrax should be disposed of, preferably through burning, as close to where they died as possible.

By Ron Smith, Horticulturist, NDSU Extension Service Q: I have problems with zucchini plants this year. Ours start growing beautiful little zucchinis, but then they shrivel or turn brown on the bloom end. Also, the leaves are turning brown a little bit and feel dry and crispy. We have fed it some food heavy in nitrogen a few times. That seemed to help a little bit, but now the same thing is happening. We have a plot out by Yunker Farm and have been watering at least every other day. Is that too much or too little? Do you have any suggestions for us? A: You have blossom end rot syndrome on the zucchini plants. As for the foliar problem, it could be some kind of fungal problem that has hit the planting. Only a lab test can make a positive determination. I would suggest a broadspectrum fungicide available over the counter from a local garden center to protect any remaining plants. The end rot problem should resolve itself with future fruit set. However, I’m assuming nothing is impacting the root system.

Help honey bee swarms find a home
With spring flowers come swarming bees, and Montana beekeepers are glad to help remove them if people find swarms clinging to trees, fences or some other surface. “A swarm is bees at their most harmless,” says Cam Lay, state entomologist with the Montana Department of Agriculture. “Bees sting only in defense of the hive, to protect their home and children, if you will. A swarm has no brood and no home, so they have no reason to sting you.” Lay acknowledges that a swarm can be an intimidating sight. “All of a sudden you’ve got ten thousand bees sitting on your fence, or on the side of the house. They buzz, and they fly around, and that’s outside the experience of most people.” The process begins as new queen bees emerge in a hive, says Diana DeYoung of the department’s Glasgow field office. The old queen quits laying eggs and her abdomen gets smaller so she can fly. When the new queens are ready to emerge, the old queen takes part of the colony and flies away. Swarming bees alight in a temporary location while their “scout bees” search for a more permanent home. That’s usually a cavity in a tree or building, Lay says. Once the scout bees find a good spot, they com-
municate the distance and direction to the rest of the swarm with a “waggle dance,” and lead them off to their new home. “We still don’t know how they decide which group of scout bees to follow,” Lay says. “But somehow they make a decision and off they go.” Unless a local beekeeper can get there first. A swarm of bees is a good start to a new colony, says Ian Foley, entomology program manager at the department. There are certainly times when homeless bees are nothing but a pest, such as when they take up residence in exterior walls of a home, but most of the time they are a valuable resource. Foley has already picked up one swarm this year, he said. “I brushed most of them into a cardboard box,” he said, “and then put it on the ground nearby. The rest of them trooped right on in, and I took them home.” The Department of Agriculture maintains a statewide list of beekeepers who are interested in being contacted to recover swarms. Look for the live link on a copy of this article on the department’s website: agr.mt.gov or use the detailed address at http://agr.mt.gov/agr/Programs/Bees/pdf/ swarms.pdf.

Maximizing forage quality
By James Stordahl, Clearwater/Polk County Extension Service, Minnesota The primary goal in forage production is to preserve the quality until it can be fed. Harvest losses will often derail your plan for top quality forage. These losses can range from 10 percent for grass hay to as high as 35 percent for legumes, but can be avoided by understanding where they commonly occur. Following are a few of the common loss sources and how to avoid them. Conditioning – Freshly cut hay is typically 80 percent moisture, but must lose about 6,000 lbs per acre of water for each ton of hay at 20 percent moisture. Conditioning speeds drying by opening the waxy cuticle layer surrounding the stem and allowing moisture to evaporate faster which reduces the time in the windrow. Be sure your conditioner is adjusted correctly to maintain adequate roll pressure uniformly along the entire roll length. Apply sufficient roll pressure to the hay to cause a noticeable breaking of the stem skin, but not so much pressure that leaves are broken off. Tedding - Tedding fluffs, spreads or moves the windrow of hay, but should done when the hay is still moist to reduce leaf shattering of legumes. Some tedders simply shift the windrow several feet onto a dryer area while others spread out, invert and/or fluff the windrow. All these operations may improve drying, but high leaf loss can occur when the tedder is too aggressive or the hay is too dry. Raking - Raking is typically done to put two or more windrows into one. However, more leaf loss can be caused by raking hay than by any other harvest operation. Avoid raking legumes when the forage moisture is less than 35 to 40 percent. If the rake is PTO driven, synchronize field speed and PTO speed to provide a gentle lifting and turning action. This will avoid aggressive handling of the forage and excessive leaf loss. To form bales of consistent density and shape, make windrows uniform in width and uniform in the amount of hay contained. Field loss occurs as the bale turns within the bale chamber so don’t create unnecessary bale chamber loss by running the baler when there is no hay feeding into the chamber. When the hay becomes too dry and brittle and losses become excessive, stop baling and resume in the evening or morning when the leaf moisture level increases. This dew-moistened hay can be baled at a slightly higher moisture level than when it was drying down because dew moisture in the hay is more easily released during curing than internal moisture. The upper moisture level depends on the type of hay, density and size of bale, drying conditions after baling, and other factors. The upper limit for moisture for large round alfalfa bales is typically 18 to 20 percent. Hay baled much above 20 percent moisture will usually spoil unless chemical preservatives such as propionic acid are added to the hay. Effective hay preservatives will prevent excessive heating and mold growth when applied uniformly and at the correct rate. The baler pickup will typically create a loss 1 to 3 percent, but can be as high as 12 percent, field speed, size of windrow, hay moisture content and mechanical condition of the pickup mechanism (broken and bent pickup teeth) accounts for this range. Higher moisture content reduces pickup loss, so avoid baling when the hay is overly dry, especially legumes. Synchronize your ground speed to pickup speed to reduce this loss. Another area of potential loss is the bale chamber. In general, bale chamber losses are normally two or three times higher in a large round baler than a rectangular baler. To minimize bale chamber losses, the moisture content should be as high as possible that will allow for safe storage. The feed rate should be as high as possible to minimize the number of turns within the bale chamber. A high feed rate can be attained by using large windrows and high forward speeds. If the windrows are small or field speeds must be slow, reduce the PTO speed which results in fewer revolutions to form a bale. Finally, when wrapping twine, do not rotate the bale more times than necessary to secure the twine. The fines, primarily leaves, which fall from the bale chamber during twine wrapping, are an indication of the bale chamber loss. These fines contain the highest level of nutrients, so minimizing these losses is important. For more information, contact me 800-450-2465 stordahl@umn.edu. Source: Virginia Tech

Keeping flies off cattle prevents stress and weight loss
By University of Nebraska-Lincoln IANR Shoo, fly! With summer upon us, it is important to keep flies off of cattle. When cattle are exposed to flies, they will often bunch up, with the dominant animals in the center, seeking protection from the flies, said Dave Boxler, University of NebraskaLincoln (UNL) Extension educator in Lincoln County. This behavior can cause an increase in the animals’ temperature and stress levels, which could lead to weight loss. There are three types of flies that cattlemen need to be on the look out for: horn flies, stable flies and face flies. “I’m anticipating seeing a normal fly population this year,” Boxler said. Horn flies feed off of the blood of cattle and congregate around the horns, necks, and throats of the animals. They feed about 30-35 times a day. Boxler said that horn flies can cause a loss of $800 million annually. “It is certainly very important to attempt to control this fly during summer,” Boxler said. Two hundred flies on one animal are enough to see an impact. In one study, calves whose mothers were protected from the horn fly gained an average of 10-20 pounds more than calves whose mothers did not receive pest control, Boxler said. One way to reduce the impact of horn flies is to buy ear tags filled with an insecticide. These ear tags can cost about $1.50-$2 per tag. There are also other methods of horn fly control such as dust bags, oilers or feed-additives (IGRs). Stable flies also are blood-feeding flies and feed off of the legs of cattle. “In a pasture setting, stable flies are most difficult to control,” Boxler said. Cattle affected by stable flies will stomp their legs and bunch in corners of the pasture. Stable flies have strong impacts on weight gains, Boxler said. In one study, steers that were protected from stable flies gained on average .44 pounds more per day than steers that didn’t receive protection. Boxler said that the most effective method of controlling stable flies is to spray cattle with an insecticide. A quart of insecticide can cost around $16-$20. This mixes with water and creates about 25 gallons of spray. Face flies are another type of fly that bother cattle. Female face flies feed on secretions from the nose and eyes of cattle, Boxler said. “It scratches and irritates the eye tissue, which actually sets up the animal for pink eye,” Boxler said. “It could cause blindness.” Face flies are a larger concern in areas which receive more than 30 inches of precipitation and have a higher humidity. “Out in western Nebraska where we have more arid conditions we see the face fly less frequently than in eastern Nebraska where the face fly is an annual problem,” Boxler said.
Cracked tomatoes
By Ron Smith, Horticulturist, NDSU Extension Service Q: Can you tell me why my tomatoes crack? I water regularly and fertilize with tomato spikes. Otherwise, the plants look healthy. We had the same problem last year, so we changed the variety, but it didn’t help. I would appreciate if you could help me. A: Cracking on the stem end of the tomato is due to a surge of water coming in faster than the skin can stretch to absorb it to relieve internal pressure. As long as you are not growing tomatoes for showing off, the edibility and flavor of the fruit are not affected. While this can happen to any tomato variety, select those that are known to be more resistant to cracking. Select those tomato varieties that have elastic skin such as daybreak, early girl, Earl of Edgecombe, Heinz 1350, jet star, Juliet, mountain delight, mountain pride and valley girl. Also try to maintain a consistent watering schedule, and mulch the plants two to three weeks after planting to help maintain consistent soil moisture.

While suffering the agonies of impending death, he suddenly smelled the aroma of his favorite pierogis with fried onions wafting up the stairs. Gathering his remaining strength, he lifted himself from the bed. He gripped the railing with both hands and crawled downstairs. Were it not for death’s agony, he would have thought himslef already in heaven, for there in the the kitchen, spread out upon waxed paper, were hundreds of his favorite pierogies. Was this one final act of love from his wife of 60 years, seeing to it that he left this world a happy man? He threw himself toward the table, landing on his knees in a crumpled posture. His parched lips parted, and the wondrous taste of the pierogi was already in his mouth. Suddenly, his wife smacked him with a wooden spoon. “Back off?” she said. “Those are for the funeral.”

Fire benefits grasslands of the Dakotas
By NDSU Extension Service Fire and grazing are essential ecosystem tools for dealing with today’s rangelands, a North Dakota State University (NDSU) rangeland expert says. “Fire was, and still is, a natural disturbance to our rangelands, and depending on the timing of the burn, can create both long- and short-term benefits and potential production losses,” says NDSU Extension Service rangeland management specialist Kevin Sedivec. “And, fire will have no long-term negative impacts on plant community composition or production. Even more interesting, properly timed, prescribed fires can create positive impacts on plant species diversity and forage production, creating a healthier, more productive rangeland for a variety of species.” The impact of fire on the northern Plains grasslands has become a hot issue of debate in the wake of the Pautre wildfire near Lemmon, South Dakota, earlier this spring. The fire has raised a number of questions: Is fire good or bad? Does it destroy, and do we “lose,” these rangelands? Does a need really exist for prescribed burns on range management? “These are common questions that need to be addressed for land managers to better understand the role of fire in managing range and grasslands in the Dakotas,” Sedivec says. For decades, several researchers have studied the effects of fire on plants and wildlife habitat in the northern Plains. Fire and grazing often are viewed as rangeland management tools, but seldom in combination. Discussions on fire and rangelands need to focus on the impacts as they relate to wildfires and prescribed burns, according to Sedivec. The short-term impacts of a wildfire primarily are dependent on when it occurs during the growing season and the heat duration of the fire. Because northern Plains plants evolved with fire, grass fires typically don’t sustain heat long enough to have undesirable consequences. However, data documenting the impacts of fire on plant species composition and forage production in the Dakotas is limited. “What we know is early spring fires, such as what was experienced during the Pautre fire, tend to have little impact on grassland plants in terms of plant composition or forage production,” Sedivec says. “These types of fire will remove standing dead plant tissue, release nutrients for plant growth, improving water cycling, and increase the nutritional quality and taste of plants that livestock and wildlife would normally ignore.” He says an excellent example of the value of a prescribed early spring fire is that it removes unpalatable crested wheatgrass plants, which are replaced by new crested wheatgrass plants that are lush and desirable to grazing animals. This practice provides a higher nutritional grass that livestock readily consume, rather than ignore, while allowing the native vegetation to grow and not be overgrazed. Through time, the invasive, exotic crested wheatgrass can be reduced from the plant community and replaced by many native grass species. Late-spring (mid-May to early June) fires tend to be excellent in providing short-term production losses of invasive grasses such as Kentucky bluegrass and smooth bromegrass. These fires generally increase the production and composition of warm-season native grasses with little impact to cool-season native grasses. In the eastern Dakotas, late-spring fires tend to increase the overall forage production, especially warm-season grasses such as big bluestem, switchgrass, Indiangrass and prairie sandreed. In the western Dakotas, these types of fires tend to have no effect on native plant species’ composition and little to no effect on forage production. However, during dry springs, these fires can reduce the short-term forage production potential. “The impact of summer fire is really unknown and quite variable,” Sedivec says. “These types of fires tend to occur when environmental conditions include high temperatures and limited precipitation. Summer fires not only remove the above-ground plant material, but also create bare soil that can become hot, impacting the recovery period and possibly decreasing short-term forage production potential.” Environmental conditions must be considered when evaluating the impact of summer fires, he adds. However, summer fires appear to injure exotic, invading cool-season grasses such as Kentucky bluegrass and smooth bromegrass. Late-summer and early fall fires appear to have no impact on plant species’ composition based on limited studies conducted in western North Dakota. These fires may decrease forage production potential during the subsequent year folCONTINUED ON PAGE A53

lowing the fire, but production fully recovers 12 to 24 months following the fire, depending on moisture conditions. This type of fire severely injures club moss, a pesky weed found on western rangelands of the Dakotas, and kills juniper trees and some shrubs. Although juniper trees should grow on specific landscapes and habitats, many of these trees should not be growing on the true rangeland sites. When these invaded tree sites are burned, the native plant species’ composition increases as the trees die off, creating a more sustainable, properly functioning ecosystem. These benefits clearly indicate that fire is a tool that must be included in management strategies for rangeland and grasslands in the northern Plains, Sedivec believes. “Fire not only can be used to manipulate the grazing patterns of livestock, but it also can be used to control invasive grasses,” he says. “Introduced cool-season grasses are North and South Dakota’s No. 1 problem in negatively impacting the forage value, wildlife habitat quality, hydrology, nutrient cycling and the scenic beauty of our rangelands. “Fire, in combination with grazing, is the best tool we have available to combat the invasion of exotic cool-season grasses and undesirable woody encroachment,” he notes. “We will not stop the invasion of Kentucky bluegrass (better known as our lawn grass), smooth bromegrass, crested wheatgrass or woody encroachment onto native range without fire.”

will accept the GIPSA letter affirming there are no transgenic wheat varieties for sale or in commercial production in the United States at this time. The European Commission has recommended to its member states that they should test U.S. SW wheat imports. We cannot confirm if any EU member state has or has not tested any wheat, nor can we confirm if any country there has postponed any purchases of U.S. wheat because their purchases are not made on a set schedule. It is important to make an additional clarification about the classes and amount of U.S. wheat exported to EU countries from the Pacific Northwest region. There was a misstatement in some press reports related that the EU imports more than 1.0 million tons of wheat annually and 80 percent of that is “soft white.” European trade sometime refers to all wheat except durum as “soft” wheat. In fact, less than one half of 1 percent of all wheat exported to Europe from the United States since 2008/09 was SW wheat. In general, USDA’s weekly U.S. wheat export sales report issued June 13 showed U.S. new crop sales were a very respectable 427,200 MT (15.7 million bushels), within trade estimates. The U.S. wheat industry supports biotechnology research and the prescribed path forward to properly approved commercialization. Wheat is essential to the global diet, but a number of serious issues, including a steady decline in planted area and growing world demand, threaten its supply. Advances like biotechnology will help farmers grow more and better wheat with less impact on the environment. As new technologies are developed, including biotechnology, the industry’s top priorities are quality, safety and delivering what our customers demand. As with other crops, biotech wheat must be subject to extensive scientific testing and thorough government approval processes here and around the world. It is important to remember that organizations representing U.S. wheat farmers support research and eventually commercialization of biotech traits in their crop. But they recognize that regulatory approvals for food and feed use must first be secured in major wheat export markets. In addition, commercialization must not impair the ability of non-biotech wheat to meet commercially recognized thresholds for the low-level presence of biotech traits. Appropriate international tolerances for biotech wheat in non-biotech shipments must be established and accepted in major export markets.

Grant awarded to boost U.S. strawberry production
By K-State Research and Extension News Kansas State University (K-State) researcher Cary Rivard has been awarded $67,000 to design a system to help boost U.S. strawberry production. The project is funded by a grant from the Walmart Foundation and administered by the University of Arkansas System Division of Agriculture Center for Agricultural and Rural Sustainability (CARS). The grant award is part of a $3 million donation made by the Walmart Foundation earlier this year to the Division of Agriculture. The goal of Rivard’s project, which was one of 18 projects to be funded, is to design a production system that makes strawberries less prone to crop failures, provide a more stable income stream for producers and encourage new growers to enter the industry. It will also develop knowledge related to frost protection, which is costly and uses valuable water and fuel resources. As part of the National Strawberry Sustainability Initiative, grant recipients will have 12 months to complete their projects. CARS will release project reports in September 2014. Rivard, who is an assistant professor of horticulture at KState, and a fruit and vegetable specialist with K-State Research and Extension, is based at K-State’s Horticulture Research and Extension Center in Olathe, Kansas. Strawberries rank as the fifth most popular consumed fresh fruit product in the U.S., which produces 27 percent of the world supply, according to CARS. The goal of the overall funding for all of the projects is to increase local and regional production of strawberries, to reduce the environmental impact of production, to reduce transportation distances between farms and markets or consumers, and to reduce product loss in the supply-value chain, said Curt Rom, Arkansas horticulture professor and member of the CARS leadership team in the award announcement. In addition, the work aims to improve the environmental and economic sustainability of the production system. “Upon completion of these projects, we will have a foundation for improving the sustainability of the U.S. strawberry production system through the supply chain, from growers to consumers,” Rom said.

4-H Spring Shooting Sports Match winners named
By NDSU Extension Service Teams from Ramsey, Morton, Emmons and Stark-Billings counties won first-place honors in the 4-H Spring Shooting Sports State Match held May 4 and 5 at the North Dakota 4-H Camp near Washburn. The match was attended by 247 4-H’ers in 3-D archery, with 36 also participating in air rifle. This is one of two matches in which senior age division participants may compete to qualify for the 2014 4-H National Invitational Match in air rifle, archery or shotgun events. Beginners participated in a 40-shot bench-rest competition in air rifle. The junior and senior teams competed in a threeposition (prone, kneeling and standing) event, performing 20 shots in each position. Each shot has a value of 10 points for a total score of 600 in the three-position match and 400 in the bench rest. The Ramsey County team of Wyatt Zeigler, Hunter Brown and Mason Hanson was the top team in the masters air rifle division, with a score of 1,354. Hanson was the top shooter, with 462 out of a possible 600 points. This team will participate in the 4-H National Invitational in Grand Island, Nebraska, in June. Masters level participants are past participants in a national match or those who already have qualified to participate in a national match. They are not eligible to qualify a second time to attend a national match in the same discipline, but they may compete at the state match at the master’s level. No senior teams competed in this event. Brogen Dehne of Stutsman County was the top senior, with a score of 315. Junior division air rifle champions were Brandon Alexander, Maria del Rosa-Nieves and Keaton Nelsen from Ramsey County, with a score of 1,244. Rosa-Nieves was the top scorer with 485. The Ramsey County beginner team of Brayden Gerhardt, Barret Conner, Jenna Gerhardt and Jacob Vaagen was the top team with a score of 1,000. Jenna Gerhardt was top scorer with 352. The 3-D archery event consisted of bare-bow compound/ recurve and freestyle compound/recurve divisions. Participants scored 30 3-D animal targets, with one arrow shot at each, for a complete round and total score of 300. The yardages were marked and adjusted for participants’ age, with seniors shooting a maximum of 50 yards, juniors 35 yards and beginners 25 yards. Ramsey County masters level members Kody Durbin, Michael Bischoff, Mason Hanson and Greg Fritz competed in 3-D freestyle archery. Durbin had the top score with 247. Bischoff finished second, with Fritz third. Their combined team score was 677. This team also will compete in the 2013 National 4-H Invitational Match. An Emmons County team won the senior freestyle archery competition with a score of 700. Team members were Erik Holzer, Austyn Henderson, Garrett Roemmich and Ryan Kelsh. Holzer was the top scorer, with 257 out of a possible 300 points. The Morton County junior division team of Tanner Bitz, Adam Boehm, Colton Marquardt and Jacob Kinnischtzke secured first place in the freestyle team event with a score of 664. Boehm was the high scorer with 252. Bare-bow junior division honors went to the Morton County team of Tyler Schmidt, Russel Koch and Clayton Fried. Koch was the top shot in bare-bow compound with 174. The Stark-Billings County senior team of Quad Larsen, Justin Huizinga, Nicolas Huizinga and Alex Knopik scored 991 to take top honors in the pilot match of World Archery field archery. Larsen had the top score, with 381 out of 520 possible points. The Ramsey County freestyle beginner team of Jacob Vaagen, Collin Rude and Thomas Graue was the top team in that division, with a score of 605. Kaden Germandson of McLean County was the top scorer with 267. The Wells County beginner team of Harry Lies, Seth Iverson, Tyler Weisser and Garin Opdahl took top honors in the beginner bare-bow division with a score of 380.

Reduced dog poisonings, warning of a new hazard
By Daniel Robison, Oregon State University Stronger warning labels on slug and snail baits containing metaldehyde may have led to a huge drop in calls to a national pesticide hotline about possible dog poisonings, according to Oregon State University (OSU). The toll-free hotline, operated by the university’s National Pesticide Information Center (NPIC), received more than 200 calls in 2005 about dogs that had been exposed to metaldehyde baits, said an OSU study, which was published this month in the Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association. Since then, metaldehyde-related calls have decreased each year – reaching a new low of 21 in 2011. At the same time, a relatively new type of bait containing iron phosphate was marketed as a safer alternative to metaldehyde, but it can still lead to iron poisoning in children, pets and wildlife, said Dave Stone, the center’s director and coauthor of the study. The NPIC received its first call about dogs encountering the iron phosphate baits in 2005. Subsequent reports have increased each year, rising to 69 calls in 2011. Slug and snail baits are sprinkled as pellets or granules and kill the slimy invertebrates when ingested. Many baits are flavored with molasses or peanut butter, and dogs will eat them, even seeking them out. In 2007, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency mandated stronger cautionary language on metaldehyde baits. The chemical acts as a neurotoxin and can cause seizures, hyperthermia and muscle tremors in animals and can be fatal without treatment. “Before the new labels, it was common to receive calls about dog poisonings and somewhat common to hear about dog fatalities,” said Stone, a toxicologist with OSU Extension. “We interpret the data to show that new labels that alert pet owners to these dangers may have contributed to the decrease in reported incidents with dogs.” More than 80 percent of the calls in the NPIC’s study came from Washington, Oregon and California, where the coastal climate favors slugs and snails. Reported incidents to NPIC involving iron phosphate baits have been less severe, compared with those with metaldehyde baits. No dog deaths were reported following contact with iron phosphate baits, but the NPIC documented 56 cases involving 61 dogs showing signs compatible with iron toxicosis, including lethargy, vomiting and diarrhea. “Slug and snail baits with iron phosphate carry risk,” said Kaci Buhl, project coordinator for the NPIC and co-author of the study. “They might be advertised as ‘safe’ and some are registered as organic. That may give the impression of safety, but these are still pesticides and need to be treated with the proper care and respect.” The NPIC advises pet owners to store slug and snail baits out of reach from dogs and other animals. About half of the cases reported to the NPIC took place after baits were applied outdoors, while 20 percent occurred when the product was insecurely stored in garages or sheds. NPIC also encourages growers and gardeners to explore alternatives to pesticides, including installing copper barriers and strips, which slugs and snails will not touch. The OSU Extension Service has more recommendations in its online guides “Using Home Remedies to Control Garden Pests” (http://ir.library.oregonstate.edu/xmlui/bitstream/ handle/1957/19773/ec1586.pdf) and “Keep Pets Safe Around Pesticides” (http://ir.library.oregonstate.edu/xmlui/bitstream/ handle/1957/32488/em9052.pdf). The NPIC offers more information about iron phosphate baits, including fact sheets, a Q&A and a podcast with researchers. The NPIC can be reached at 1-800-858-PEST or www. npic.orst.edu. It provides objective, science-based information about pesticides to help people to make informed decisions – especially following suspected exposures. The organization is a partnership between OSU and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. ##### An elderly gentleman was driving on the local freeway when his cell phone rang.

$384B needed for drinking water infrastructure
By U.S. Environmental Protection Agency The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) released results of a survey showing that $384 billion in improvements are needed for the nation’s drinking water infrastructure through 2030 for systems to continue providing safe drinking water to 297 million Americans. EPA’s fifth Drinking Water Infrastructure Needs Survey and Assessment identifies investments needed over the next 20 years for thousands of miles of pipes and thousands of treatment plants, storage tanks and water distribution systems, which are all vital to public health and the economy. The national total of $384 billion includes the needs of 73,400 water systems across the country, as well as American Indian and Alaska Native Village water systems. “A safe and adequate supply of drinking water in our homes, schools and businesses is essential to the health and prosperity of every American,” said EPA Acting Administrator Bob Perciasepe. “The survey EPA released today shows that the nation’s water systems have entered a rehabilitation and replacement era in which much of the existing infrastructure has reached or is approaching the end of its useful life. This is a major issue that must be addressed so that American families continue to have the access they need to clean and healthy water sources.” The survey, required under the Safe Drinking Water Act to be submitted to Congress every four years by EPA, was developed in consultation with all 50 states and the Navajo Nation. The survey looked at the funding and operational needs of more than 3,000 public drinking water systems across the United States, including those in Tribal communities, through an extensive questionnaire. In many cases, drinking water infrastructure was reported to be 50-100 years old. The assessment shows that improvements are primarily needed in: • Distribution and transmission: $247.5 billion to replace or refurbish aging or deteriorating lines • Treatment: $72.5 billion to construct, expand or rehabilitate infrastructure to reduce contamination • Storage: $39.5 billion to construct, rehabilitate or cover finished water storage reservoirs • Source: $20.5 billion to construct or rehabilitate intake structures, wells and spring collectors EPA allocates Drinking Water State Revolving Fund grants to states based on the finding of the assessment. These funds help states to provide low-cost financing to public water systems for infrastructure improvements necessary to protect public health and comply with drinking water regulations. Since its inception in 1997, the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund has provided close to $15 billion in grants to all 50 states and Puerto Rico to improve drinking water treatment, transmission and distribution. The Drinking Water State Revolving Fund program has also provided more than $5.5 billion to protect drinking water in disadvantaged communities. EPA is committed to utilizing the tools provided under the Safe Drinking Water Act to assist states and to better target resources and technical assistance toward managing the nation’s drinking water infrastructure. In addition to Drinking Water State Revolving Fund grants, EPA awarded nearly $15 million in funding in 2012 to provide training and technical assistance to small drinking and wastewater systems – those serving fewer than 10,000 people – and to private well owners to improve small system operations and management practices and to promote sustainability. EPA also works with states, municipalities and water utilities to strengthen the resiliency of drinking water systems against the potential impacts of severe weather events and climate change.

Crop scouting: It pays to be outstanding in your field
By Meryl Rygg McKenna For people in agriculture, scouting is more than camping and tying knots. Crop scouting is the important process of monitoring fields during a growing season. Certified crop adviser Chuck Gatzemeier, Cut Bank, Montana, said growers ideally inspect crops during at least five different growth stages, depending on the crop’s vulnerability to diseases, weeds and destructive insects. Healthy crops begin before planting, with soil sample analysis to identify and correct nutrient levels. A crop that starts healthy, with access to necessary nutrients, timely moisture and heat, will have the best chance against diseases. Scouting crops begins when plants are newly emerged, at the two-leaf stage. Gatzemeier recommended first checking stand counts; in bare areas, dig down to look for wireworm or cutworm damage, evidence of drill skips or seedlings that drowned out. There may still be time to reseed. Gatzemeier scouts again during the four- to five-leaf stage, looking for weeds, plant diseases or insects, evaluating the stand and inspecting leaf color. An off-color appearance often indicates nutrient deficiency. For example, yellowish leaves can be a symptom of too little nitrogen, possibly indicating the need for a top dressing of nitrogen. The third scouting on small grains comes during the flag leaf stage. The last true leaf to grow on a plant, the flag leaf is usually the biggest, widest leaf. Its appearance signals that the plant is ready to form heads. Gatzemeier continues looking for weeds, insects and diseases during this stage but pays special attention to the flag leaf. “We want to keep diseases off the flag leaf for maximum photosynthesis and yield,” he said. The fourth time Gatzemeier explores is during the flowering stage. The crop has headed out; its heads are flowering and pollinating. Look for the same things as before, plus fusarium head blight. Discoloration is a symptom of fusarium head blight, and fungicide treatments can knock it out. It usually occurs under irrigation or heavy rainfall during the heading or flowering stage. The last crucial stage for scouting is close to the crop’s maturity. If sawflies have caused much damage, the crop may need to be swathed while it can still make a windrow. If you are considering in-season herbicides, fungicides or insecticides, check their post-harvest intervals. One common herbicide requires at least seven days between application and harvest. Choose herbicides that won’t leave residual effects, potentially harming the next crop. For example, some herbicides have a nine- or 18-month minimum for planting to peas or lentils. Fungicides kill disease on contact and don’t linger in the soil or hurt the next crop. Swathing may be the remedy for late weeds – they will dry down and join the chaff. If small grains have reached the soft dough stage, the grains will not shrivel after being cut, Gatzemeier explained. Crop advisers and other ag consultants call on research staff at a close-by agricultural university or research center when they see something unfamiliar. Growers can do the same. If you see an odd-looking insect, weed or disease, take a clear picture and send it online to the university’s agricultural diagnostic lab, your crop adviser or Extension agent, or pull a sample and send it to the diagnostic lab through the mail. To do a good job of scouting, Gatzemeier said, you’ve got to go out in the field in person. “When the crop is young, get out on a four-wheeler and drive in a large W form in the field. If you see something goofy, call your adviser. They can go out and walk with you and see what’s going on. Get out and walk again during the flag leaf stage.” Once the joints (bulges in the stem) show above ground, the plants can’t recover after you drive on them. From then on, drive along the edge of the field, stopping now and then to walk into the crop. Look for insects flying up in front of you, and look at plant health. Gatzemeier has seen leaves that looked diseased, but closer inspection revealed hail damage. It pays to know the difference – don’t spend money on fungicide if the damage is from hail or frost. Connect with advisers and growers across the state for advance warning of nearby insects or diseases. Growers can sign up for Ag Alerts online from Montana State University; go to http://www.mtagalert.org/, a tool Gatzemeier continued on page a64

Planning a new flower garden
By Annette Meyer Heisdorffer, Daviess County Extension Agent for Horticulture Gardening provides a family activity in your back yard. The family fun can start by planning a new flower garden or redesigning an old one on paper now so you will be ready to plant it this spring. The tips provided below will help to make the garden easier to design and maintain. First, select a location; the flower garden or flower border can be planted along the edges of the yard. Gardens near or along the patio or deck bring flowers closer to your living areas. Backgrounds to accent your garden could be an old masonry wall, picket fence, open fence, privacy fence, trellis with climbing vines, evergreen shrubs, and evergreen hedges. Next, determine if the site is located in full sun, partial shade, or full shade. Then consider if the soil is well drained. The soil can remain moist for a period of time, but it should not remain water-soaked for long periods. Water-soaked soils do not contain enough oxygen for the roots, and the roots rot. Making a raised bed of soil, with or without a border of bricks or landscape timbers, may be helpful when dealing with a poorly drained site. When arranging plants in the garden, usually the tallest ones are planted in the back and shorter ones near the front. Leave some space in the back of the garden so that it can be maintained without stepping on other plants. Another garden location is an island bed which allows you to view plants from all sides. Six foot wide beds can be tended from one side or the other without stepping on plants. Most island beds are visually more pleasing if they are at least three times longer than wide. Place taller plants near the center of the island bed and shorter ones near the edge. To prepare the soil for the flower garden, add two inches of organic matter such as decomposed manure or compost. Organic matter improves the aeration and drainage of the soil. Work the organic matter 8 inches deep into the soil. The pH of the soil should be around 6.0 to 6.5 for most plants in the flower garden. The pH determines acidity (low number) or alkalinity (high number) of the soil. A pH of 7 is considered neutral. The pH is determined through a soil test, which is available through your local county Cooperative Extension Service Office. The report will indicate the pH and, if necessary, make the appropriate recommendation for raising the pH with lime. A soil test will also indicate the level of phosphorous and potassium in the soil, and give recommendations for the amount of these two nutrients to add if needed. By testing the soil, you may be able to save money because the soil may not require phosphorus, potassium, or lime. If a soil test is not conducted, then fertilize the planting site with 1 to 2 pounds of 5-10-5 or 5-10-10 per 100 square feet and work it into the soil. The three numbers on a fertilizer bag, such as 5-10-5, refer to the percentage of nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium (always in this order) contained in the fertilizer. A 5-10-5 fertilizer contains 5 percent nitrogen, 10 percent phosphorous, and 5 percent potassium. Remember, it is best to have the soil tested. Do not over-fertilize the garden with nitrogen. Extra nitrogen stimulates lush leaf and stem growth at the expense of good plant form and flower production. After choosing the location and preparing the soil for the flower garden, select plants that prefer the growing conditions of the site. Consult horticulturists, nursery and garden center professionals, garden catalogs, books, and Extension publications for a description of the preferred growing conditions and other characteristics of the plant. Remember to choose plants that bloom at different times of the year, especially during summer and fall. Also consider the color of the foliage and texture. Are the leaves small and fine-textured or large and coarse-textured? Texture adds interest to the garden. Then plan on paper where to plant the annual and perennial plants, so you will have a planting guide and a record. Grouping plants in three to five of the same kind or even larger groups gives a dramatic effect. Repeating the groupings within the garden helps your eye to flow through the garden and give it unity. An individual plant, or a grouping of plants which makes a visual impact, can be used as a focal point in the garden just like a picture or piece of furniture makes a focal point in a room. A flower garden does not have to be completed in one year. Start small and add new annuals and perennials as they catch your eye. For more information, contact the Daviess County Cooperative Extension Service (270) 685-8480.

Crop scouting: It pays to be outstanding in your field continued from page a62
recommended highly. Farmers or advisers notify MSU what they’ve seen locally, and word spreads through the Ag Alerts. It pays to know; some diseases are deadly for a crop unless treated right away. Be aware of your economic threshold. If someone says, “I saw this in your fields and you need to spray it,” doublecheck before you act. Treating a crop when it’s too late to change your ultimate yield could be money spent with no positive return. Gatzemeier said crop advisers have found it’s usually economical to spray if you find at least three weeds per square yard. There must be a return on investment. Treating weeds might not pay for itself in one year, but with something like Canada thistle or bindweed, which can take several years to eliminate, it may be worthwhile. Remedies are available for most in-season crop ailments. For wireworms, though, the recommendation is using treated seed in the first place; and for downy brome or Japanese brome in barley, Gatzemeier said nothing is available that targets brome and not barley. “There’s always something new to learn,” Gatzemeier admitted. “As certified crop advisers, we go to school and learn all these things, and it’s fun,” he said. “Proper sampling and scouting techniques should help growers with their input decisions and greatly improve their profits. It can also avoid the unnecessary use of pesticides, which brings us back to economic thresholds again. A CCA can help growers think through those decisions. Our focus is on improving the profitability of growers.” For more information on certified crop advisers, go to http://www.certifiedcropadviser.org.
Nematodes encapsulated to better battle corn pests
By Jan Suszkiw, Agricultural Research Service Nematodes have shown promise as biological control agents in the fight against the western corn rootworm, whose larval stage is a costly pest of corn in the United States and Europe. But current spray methods used to apply the beneficial nematodes can be labor-intensive and water consuming. As an alternative, a team of scientists with the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the University of Neuchatel (UniNE) in Switzerland is field-testing gel capsule formulations that encapsulate the pest-killing nematode Heterorhabditis bacteriophora. This nematode species poses no danger to humans, pets or livestock, but its lethality to rootworm larvae may give corn growers another option for protecting their crops, together with the use of insecticides and rotations with non-host crops like soybean. Ivan Hiltpold, a visiting UniNE scholar, is investigating the technology as part of a two-year assignment with Bruce Hibbard, an entomologist with the USDA’s Agricultural Research Service (ARS) Plant Genetics Research Unit in Columbia, Missouri. ARS entomologist Wade French and UniNE professor Ted Turling are collaborating with them. Their approach calls for encapsulating Heterorhabditis within an algal-based polymer that’s soft enough for the nematodes to escape once applied to soils where rootworm larvae are present. After locating their prey, the nematodes wriggle inside the rootworm larvae and release symbiotic bacteria, which multiply and then kill the insect by poisoning its blood. The nematodes feed on the bacteria and mate, spawning new generations that eventually leave their dead hosts to find new ones. Although the encapsulated nematodes (about 2,700 per capsule) reduced rootworm damage to corn roots better than spray formulations in trials, refinements to the capsules proved necessary, including determining the optimal thickness of capsule walls and storage conditions. During laboratory experiments, for example, twice as many nematodes escaped capsules stored at room temperature (around 77 degrees Fahrenheit) than at 45 degrees F. The team is also examining the addition of rootworm attractants and feeding stimulants to better lure the pests to their doom. ARS is USDA’s principal intramural scientific research agency, and this research promotes the USDA priority of promoting international food security.

Managing ticks in our living space
By Annette Meyer Heisdorffer, Daviess County Extension Agent for Horticulture As we enjoy the outdoors and garden, be aware of hitchhikers. Diligently looking for ticks on children and ourselves is an important practice to include in a daily routine. Other tips for dealing with them are provided in this article. Ticks prefer to live in woods, tall grass, weeds, and brush. They climb onto low vegetation and attach to suitable hosts which pass by, including pets and people. Ticks are found on the ground and do not fall out of trees. When found in the hairline, the tick had to crawl up the body to get there. Ticks are seldom a problem in well-maintained lawns. They do not survive in this situation for long in open, sunny areas with little protective shade and low humidity. However, edges of property supporting tall weeds and brush can be a source of infestation. The best way to avoid acquiring ticks is through prevention. One way to prevent acquiring ticks is by avoiding walks through uncut fields, brush, and other areas likely to harbor ticks. When hiking or picnicking in these areas, wear long pants tucked into socks and consider using tick repellents. Walk in the center of mowed trails to avoid brushing up against vegetation. Inspect family and pets after being in tick-infested areas, and promptly remove any ticks which are found. Use the method of removal described below. Keep grass and shrubs in your yard trimmed, and clear overgrown vegetation from edges of your property. Remove leaf litter and weeds along the lawn edges. Ticks avoid direct sunlight and will not infest areas which are well maintained. Free-roaming pets are much more likely to become infested with ticks than are those which are confined. Pets may be treated with insecticide dips or sprays, although these products generally lose effectiveness in a short amount of time depending on the product. Treating open lawns is of little benefit since this is not a preferred habitat for ticks. Barrier applications of insecticides labeled for tick control can be applied around edges of lawns and mowed areas. If insecticides are used, treatment should be concentrated in areas where pets, rodents, and other potential wild hosts of ticks are likely to frequent. In addition, spray about 10 feet into bordering woodland. Also spray ground cover vegetation near the home or walkways and areas of the yard often used by people such as play areas, gardens, outside storage areas, or paths to the neighbors. Examples of active ingredients that can be used if they are labeled include cyfluthrin, cyhalothrin, bifenthrin, permethrin, or carbaryl. Apply the insecticide during April or May when ticks are detected, and another, if needed, in early July. Depending on the species, another application may be needed. A good way to determine if ticks are present is to drag a 3x3-ft white flannel or cotton sheet through suspected areas. Ticks will attach to the sheet and be visible against the white background. When using an insecticide, use enough water and pressure to penetrate the vegetation and leaf litter. The ticks are hiding in the grass or brush near the ground. Apply the product with a garden hose sprayer to provide thorough coverage. A granular insecticide can be applied but it is difficult to treat woodland margins effectively. When you find an attached tick on your body, use finepoint tweezers, grasp the tick just behind the point of attachment, and pull slowly and steadily until the tick is dislodged. Vaseline, matches, and other alternate methods of removal should be avoided. These only cause the tick to inject more saliva that will cause more irritation at that site. Wash the bite area, apply antiseptic, and cover with a band-aid. There are three species of ticks in Kentucky which include the American dog tick, lone star tick, and the recently found blacklegged tick in the eastern and southeastern portion of Kentucky. The American dog tick and lone star tick are commonly found here. The turkey mites that I receive calls about are actually the larval stage of the lone star tick. At this stage they are very small and can be found in large numbers. This tick is not a vector for Lyme disease. The American dog tick may transmit Rocky Mountain spotted fever. The blacklegged tick may carry Lyme disease. They are active in October through March.

By Tyler Jameson, US Wheat Assistant Director of Policy The United States has a long and proud history of helping feed the world’s hungry, and U.S. wheat farmers support the current food aid system that includes a full range of options to help countries attain lasting and sustainable food security. Unfortunately, President Barack Obama’s fiscal year 2014 budget proposal eliminates the Food for Peace program, an important, longstanding and successful food aid program. The proposal would replace this gold standard of international food aid with cash for procurement of foreign commodities overseas. Wheat farmers play a major role in U.S. food aid, both through emergency donations as well as developmental programs. In fiscal year 2012, Food for Peace shipped 595,300 MT of wheat to those in need. Wheat makes up 35 percent of donations in the U.S. food aid portfolio, which includes Food for Peace, Food for Progress and other programs. The Administration’s proposal would eliminate the developmental component of food aid under Food for Peace, ending monetization (the sale of donated commodities by non-governmental organizations in a recipient country to fund important development projects), which is a proven tool that provides a multitude of benefits. This includes the Food for Peace program in Mozambique from 2008 to 2010 that used wheat to generate funds to serve a wide range of agricultural development and other food security projects reaching 200,000 farmer households and 375,000 young children and caretakers. Another monetization-funded project in Uganda between 2008 and 2010 improved agricultural productivity, household savings, nutrition and hygiene, thereby strengthening the ability of communities to withstand climatic and other shocks. The results in Mozambique, Uganda and many other countries are not the full story. Development food aid also contributes to the development of fledgling milling industries in recipient countries. These food aid programs provide a commodity that is currently in short supply to a food insecure country while addressing constraints faced by small businesses in these countries like insufficient access to credit or hard currency and the need for smaller volumes of wheat. U.S. food aid programs have been in place for nearly 60 years and have a proven track record of helping those in need. In addition to Food for Peace, several programs currently exist to provide a variety of tools to help countries achieve sustainable food security. Supporting the Food for Peace program, which forms the backbone of those efforts, will only continue to positively assist those in need around the world.

Montana Board of Livestock fees increased July 1
Fees for brand inspections, new brand applications and brand transfers increased July 1 in a move that was “made out of necessity,” said Christian Mackay, executive officer for the Montana Board of Livestock. Brand inspections increased from 50 to 75 cents a head, and fees for new brand applications and brand transfers from $100 to $200. Despite the increase, Montana’s fees for brand inspection compare favorably to those of other states (see chart). Montana’s fees for new brands and brand transfers are also lower than most other states, but are more difficult to compare because of different rerecord cycles and additional fees. “It was a tough decision for the board, but they had to do something to maintain the level of service the industry requires and expects,” Mackay said. Prior to the recently completed legislative session, the Department of Livestock submitted, as required, a balanced budget proposal to the state legislature; balancing that budget, however, required the elimination of eight positions from the department’s Brands Enforcement Division. “No one – the industry, legislators, board members – wanted us to cut positions from Brands Enforcement, and the legislature rejected that budget proposal,” he said. While no one likes paying more, Mackay said, raising fees is “the only option” for an agency that’s primarily funded through user fees. The increase in inspection fees, last raised in 2003, will generate approximate $800,000 a year (based on 2012 cattle inspection numbers); roughly half will be used to cover personnel costs in Brands Enforcement, while half will go to local inspectors who conduct the bulk of the state’s brand inspections. Additional revenues generated by the increase in new brand applications and brand transfers, last raised in 2001, will be used for general Brands Enforcement Division operations. The department by law can only use 10% of those funds in any given year. Inspection Fee Comparison State Fee Additional Fees Arizona $0.25 $10 New Mexico $0.50 $10 Colorado $0.55 $10 Nebraska $0.75 $10 Utah $0.75 Montana $0.75 South Dakota $1.00 Mileage Idaho $0.94 North Dakota $1.00 Oregon $1.00 $25 Nevada $1.00 $10 California $1.05 $12 Wyoming $1.50 $7.50 Washington $1.60 $5 minimum

White peony
By Ron Smith, Horticulturist, NDSU Extension Service Q: I have a white peony plant that looks healthy and produces loads of blooms. The blooms open to very large flowers. Unfortunately, all the flowers have a brown edging on each petal. Except for the brown edges, the flowers look healthy. This has been going on for about four years. Should I get rid of this plant? I have a Sarah Bernhardt peony planted next to the white peony that is doing fine. A: This is sometimes an indication of the plant being planted too deeply. To get planting and cultural tips on peony care, go to http://www. ag.ndsu.edu/pubs/plantsci/ landscap/h281.pdf.

Vermeer 605 Super M Round Baler Produce round bales in less time with less hassle when you use the 605 Super M baler.

The power of resilience: Confidence

In his book, • Do we clearly express that we expect Building Resilience in Children and Teens: the best in them?

Consider Dr. Ginsburg’s succeed? following questions as you look for ways • Do we avoid instilling shame? Praise can have an especially powerful effect in helping confidence take root. Praise may actually produce the opposite effect we intend depending on the style of praise given. Specific praise for effort and the process rather than praise for intellect and the product can have a much more positive effect. For example, by telling children they must be really smart or intelligent when receiving high marks for a project may lead to children be hesitant in taking on new, challenging projects for fear of failure and thus proof that they are not smart. Whereas praise for effort such as telling children they must have put in a lot of hard work and were persistent as they worked on the project can lead to children willing to try new ventures believing their effort can make a difference in the project without the fear of failure. Specific praise for effort and process instead of intelligence and the end result can help confidence truly grow leading to a resilient, healthy child and young adult. Next time we will continue to explore the Dr. Ginsburg’s seven “C’s” of resiliency and discuss connection. For more information visit the Fostering Resilience website (http://www.fosteringresilience.com/). ##### A grandpa was walking through the woods with his grandson when they came to a small pond. The grandpa said, “Let’s wait, and maybe we’ll hear a frog croak.” The grandson said, “Grandpa, would you croak?” The grandpa did his best croak, but the boy didn’t seem impressed. He kept asking his grandpa if he would croak. The grandpa finally asked, “Why do you keep asking me if I will croak?” The grandson replied, “Dad told me when you croak, we’ll get lots of money.”

ontana Wheat & Barley Committee 2014 Research Targets Pests
The Montana Wheat and Barley Committee places a heavy emphasis on wheat and barley research every year. This year, approximately 48 percent of the annual budget is dedicated solely to research issues, with the majority of that funding awarded to Montana State University. Other areas of the budget are used to fund education programs, and market development.
Wheat and Barley Marketing Intern The Montana Wheat and Barley Committee is excited to announce that a new Marketing Intern has been hired for the summer. Kent Pattison was born and raised on the HiLine in Havre, Montana. He has a very strong agricultural background and has worked on his family farm ten miles north of Havre for as long as he can remember. The Pattison Family produces wheat, but has also begun planting peas as a rotational crop. Kent moved to attend the University of Great Falls after he graduated from Havre High School. Next fall he will begin his senior year and will graduate with a degree in business. Part of Kent’s degree is a required internship with a business of his choice, and the Montana Wheat and Barley Committee was a perfect fit. This position provides an opportunity to fulfill his degree requirements, as well as gain more knowledge about agriculture and world markets. Kent is looking forward to meeting people within the national and international agricultural community, as well as learning more about marketing Montana’s grain overseas. He will be attending many field days during the summer and helping coordinate trade team activity. The Montana Wheat and Barley Committee is looking forward to working with this up and coming “agvocate”!

Wheat Stem Sawfly A major issue for Montana producers is the Wheat Stem Sawfly. It is projected that the sawfly causes up to $100 million in damage for Montana producers each year, and the Montana Wheat and Barley Committee has already funded nearly $1 million of research regarding the sawfly. Some of the current research includes developing new host plant resistance, screening new germplasm for desirable traits, control tactics, and the possibility of using rotational crops to suppress wheat stem sawfly. Dr. David Weaver has been providing valuable research at MSU, and the Wheat and Barley Committee hopes to provide the support that will help him find a solution to this ongoing problem.

Orange Blossom Wheat Midge Dr. Robert Stougaard, at the Northwestern Agricultural Research Center near Kalispell, has been crucial in the study of the Orange Blossom Wheat Midge in the state of Montana. The Wheat Midge has been a growing problem that is very prominent in western Montana and has slowly begun to spread towards the east. Areas of research currently funded include evaluating experimental lines for resistance to the midge, and on-farm comparisons of wheat varieties that vary in attractiveness to midge. Dr. Stougaard will continue to monitor the current midge populations in the Triangle and Flathead Valley and compare the efficacy of various pheromone traps. Wireworm Kevin Wanner began conducting wireworm surveys in small grain fields across the state in 2011. Now with two years of survey results analyzed, Dr. Wanner is moving onto the next phase of research. This will include an analysis of fields to determine if the wireworm populations are increasing or decreasing. Dr. Wanner is working with other researchers on this problem that includes an examination of various applications. One opportunity includes a new insecticide that is under review for wireworm control in small grains, based on previous research done by Dr. Bob Vernon in Canada. These projects are just a few of the areas that wheat and barley check-off funds are being used to expand agriculture research within the state.

Pine tree carbs may help improve dogs’ health
By Marcia Wood, Agricultural Research Service Carbohydrates from an all-natural source—pine trees— may benefit dogs’ digestive system health, according to collaborative studies by U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), university, and corporate scientists. The carbs, predominantly a group known as “GGMOs” —short for galactoglucomannan oligosaccharides—make up to 70 percent of Previda, a dietary ingredient marketed as a fine-textured, light-tan powder to makers of pet food, aquaculture feed, and other animal nutrition products. USDA Agricultural Research Service (ARS) chemist Neil P.J. Price began his studies of these fiber-rich carbs in 2007 under the terms of a cooperative agreement with a company called Temple-Inland. This Texas-based producer of wood products made from loblolly pine and other southern yellow pine trees approached ARS about potential new applications of the carbs, to augment their decades-old use as a cattlefeed ingredient. GGMOs are a byproduct of treating wood chips that remain after trees are cut into lumber. Temple-Inland treats these chips with heat, high pressure, and hot water to separate them into cellulosic fiber—for making fiberboard products— and hemicellulosic carbs, such as the GGMOs that were the focus of Price’s studies. At the ARS National Center for Agricultural Utilization Research in Peoria, Illinois, Price used proton magnetic resonance and other analytical techniques in studies that pointed to the carbs’ potential as a pet-food ingredient. The research led to today’s powdered Previda formulation, and to collaborative studies directed by George C. Fahey, Jr., a University of Illinois emeritus professor of animal sciences. In that research, purified GGMOs from southern yellow pine were added, in place of dietary cellulose, to a high-quality kibble at the rate of 0.5 to 8 percent. The kibble, or a “control” kibble containing no added GGMOs, was then fed to six healthy female dogs. Analyses of the dogs’ fecal samples showed that increasing the percentage of pine GGMOs in the kibble was, in general, associated linearly with several significant indicators of a healthy lower digestive system, including an increase in populations of beneficial Bifidobacterium bacteria. Hemicellulose extract, such as that in Previda, is listed as a safe ingredient in a “gold standard” registry maintained by the Association of American Feed Control Officials, a nonprofit organization that sets standards for the safety and quality of animal feed and pet food. Price, Fahey, Temple-Inland chemist Anne C. Hopkins, former University of Illinois animal sciences graduate student Trevor A. Faber, and coinvestigators published their findings in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry in 2010 and 2011 and in the Journal of Animal Science in 2011. Price’s studies are part of ongoing ARS investigations at Peoria and elsewhere to find new, renewable uses of plants. ARS is the USDA’s principal intramural scientific research agency.
UNL animal science appoints ambassadors
By University of Nebraska-Lincoln IANR The University of Nebraska-Lincoln (UNL) animal science department appointed two new student ambassadors for the 2013-2014 academic year. After in-depth interviews with department faculty and senior ambassadors, two students were selected out of a pool of six applicants: – Maci Lienemann of Princeton, a sophomore animal science major – Levi McPhillips of Columbus, a junior animal science major The two new ambassadors will serve alongside current second-year ambassadors: – Ryan Grafel of Hastings, a senior animal science major – Dustin Renken of Bertrand, a senior animal science major The ambassadors will interact with prospective animal science students by visiting high schools and attending various UNL admissions events. In addition to attending and supporting university events, each ambassador will also take on the responsibility of planning one recruitment activity per year. One example is the animal science experience. continued on page B14

By Dennis O’Brien, Agricultural Research Service U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) researchers in Bushland, Texas, are helping farmers make the most of their water supplies in a region where they depend on the Ogallala Aquifer, a massive underground reservoir under constant threat of overuse. Steve Evett, Susan O’Shaughnessy and their colleagues in the Agricultural Research Service (ARS) are developing soil, water and plant stress sensors and automated irrigation systems designed to irrigate fields only when absolutely necessary. ARS is USDA’s principal intramural scientific research agency. The researchers are working on two complementary approaches. One system applies water based on crop water stress levels detected by wireless sensors mounted on the pipelines of aboveground commercial irrigation systems. The sensors determine variable water needs as the irrigation system moves across a field. In the other approach, sensors in the soil trigger irrigation based on soil water content. That technology is designed for urban sites and is being adapted so that it will work in agriculture. The effectiveness of the aboveground system has been verified in numerous studies. In one, the researchers cultivated early- and late-maturing sorghum for two years and used 16 prototype wireless sensors on a center-pivot irrigation system to monitor crop canopy temperatures as the system moved across the fields. Instruments recorded weather data as the system moved. The researchers compared its effectiveness with a system in which irrigation was applied based on readings taken with a neutron probe, an accurate research tool that growers avoid because of cost and regulatory issues. The results, published in Agricultural Water Management, showed the automated system was as effective as the manual method, producing similar grain yields and wateruse efficiency levels. For the study, the sensor network was mounted on a six-span center pivot, but the technology could be adapted to other types of irrigation systems. To develop the subsurface soil sensors, Evett and his colleagues established a cooperative research and development agreement with Acclima, Inc., of Meridian, Idaho, which makes sensor-based systems for irrigating lawns, shrubs and ornamentals. For those uses, Acclima’s systems only need to monitor water content to depths of about 4 to 6 inches, but sensors used in agriculture would need to take deeper readings. To that end, Evett and his Acclima partners are developing new technology that uses hollow, plastic tubes that can be drilled deeper into the soil. The tubes are divided into segments that attach to each other for drilling to any desired depth. Prototype designs tested in water and test fluids, and in clay and loam soils, have shown that the approach is feasible. ARS and Acclima have filed for a patent on the technology.

The animal science experience is an event where high school and transfer students visit UNL’s East Campus for a day and see it through the eyes of a current college student. These students get an overview of the animal science department, participate in an actual animal science class, eat lunch at the Nebraska East Union dining hall and participate in fun activities such as a tour of Memorial Stadium. “It’s a good opportunity for them to get to East Campus and actually see what life is like here in the department and as a college student,” said Alli Raymond, animal science admissions coordinator. “Through planning and participating in these activities, the student ambassadors benefit not only the university, but themselves as well.” The Animal Science Student Ambassador program, started in 1999, selects two animal science majors as ambassadors to promote the animal science program each year. Students receive a $2,000 scholarship ($500 each semester) and serve for two years supporting the animal science department’s recruitment efforts. For more information on the Animal Science Student Ambassador program, visit http://animalscience.unl.edu/ anscambassadors. You also can friend them on Facebook (UNL Ani Sci Ambassadors) or follow them on Twitter (@ UNL_AniSci) to stay up to date on upcoming events and deadlines.
WSU leads development of heat-tolerant grain
By Eric Sorensen, WSU science writer Washington State University (WSU) will lead a $16.2 million effort to develop wheat varieties that are better at tolerating the high temperatures found in most of the world’s growing regions – temperatures that are likely to increase with global warming. The research will be supported by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), the Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) and the Directorate of Wheat Research (DWR). The work is part of the U.S. government’s global hunger and food security initiative, Feed the Future. Researchers aim to have their first set of “climate-resilient” varieties in five years. The research will focus on the North Indian River Plain, which is home to nearly 1 billion people and faces challenges such as limited water and rising temperatures, said Kulvinder Gill, project director and the Vogel Endowed Chair for Wheat Breeding and Genetics at WSU. “The project will benefit all wheat growing regions of the world,” he said, “as heat during certain stages of the plant’s development is an issue in most wheat growing regions.” The researchers will combine conventional and newly developed breeding tools to identify genes or sets of genes associated with heat tolerance, a rarely studied trait with an outsized importance in yields. A wheat plant’s productivity falls off dramatically when temperatures rise above 82 degrees F, and the effects are particularly dramatic in the flowering stage, when the plant sets the seed that is ultimately harvested and milled for food. Every rise of just a couple of degrees above 82 in the flowering stage cuts yields by 3 to 4 percent. Some parts of the North Indian River Plain can reach 95 degrees during flowering, said Gill, who worked in the withering heat of his family’s Punjab farm as a child. The Climate Resilient Wheat project will continue efforts by Gill and colleagues to help wheat plants deal with environmental stresses. He is in the later stages of a three-year, $1.6 million grant from the National Science Foundation and the Gates Foundation to develop drought-tolerant “desert wheat.” Support from USAID will leverage more than $11 million from other partners and fund research at WSU and projectrelated activities in India, said Gill. The effort will include researchers from Kansas State University, the seed manufacturer and processor DuPont Pioneer, India’s Directorate of Wheat research and National Bureau of Plant Genetics Resources, GB Pant University, CCS Meerut University, Punjab Agricultural University, Rajendra Agricultural University and two private companies in India. As many as 35 Ph.D. students and 30 postdoctoral or research fellows will also be involved.
Retail choice beef up 9% over past 2 years
By Ron Plain and Scott Brown, University of Missouri Extension The Cattle on Feed report says the number of cattle in large feedlots at the start of May was down 3.4% from a year ago. April placements were up 15.1% and April marketings were up 2.2%, due to one extra slaughter day. The average price of choice beef at retail was $5.264 per pound in April. That was down 3.6 cents from March, but up 27.8 cents from April 2012. The average retail price for all fresh beef was $4.853 per pound in April, up 23 cents from a year earlier. Over the last 24 months, the average price of choice beef at retail has increased 9.2%. The average retail price for all fresh beef is also up 9.2%. This implies the demand for choice beef is as strong as for select and ground beef. The 5 area average price for slaughter steers in April was $127.50/cwt, up a dollar from the month before and up $6.30 from April 2012. Corn planting is still way behind normal. As of May 12, 28% of corn acres were planted compared to 85% a year ago and a 5-year average of 65% planted by May 12. Fed cattle prices were lower. The 5-area average price for slaughter steers sold on a live weight basis was $124.79/cwt, down $1.43, but up $3.36/cwt from last year. Steer prices on a dressed basis averaged $199.76/cwt, down $2.98, but up $6.10 from a year ago. The beef cutout value for choice carcasses reached $200/ continued on page b16

Japanese milling executives complete wheat industry tour
By Julia Debes, USW Assistant Director of Communications Japan consistently imports more U.S. wheat than any other country, averaging more than 3.21 MMT (118 million bushels) per year for the past five years. Japanese millers, however, are concerned as much with quality as quantity when it comes to the wheat they use. As part of long-term marking efforts to demonstrate the continued reliability, quality and value of U.S. wheat, USW brought five milling executives to the United States May 1 to 7 for a personal look at this year’s crop potential in North Dakota and to talk trade policy and market developments with U.S. agricultural organizations in Washington, DC. “These visits to the United States give milling executives more insight and perspective into U.S. wheat’s value,” said USW Japan County Director Wataru “Charlie” Utsunomiya, who accompanied the team. “They also reinforce the strong relationship built between Japanese millers and U.S. wheat farmers, which started in 1949 when the Oregon Wheat Growers League organized the first trade delegation to Japan.” Today, Japan typically accounts for roughly 10 percent of all U.S. wheat exports, importing significant amounts of HRW, HRS and SW wheat. As of May 2, Japan has purchased 3.69 MMT (135.5 million bushels) of wheat so far this marketing year. Trade team participants, however, are already looking forward to the upcoming crop. While in North Dakota, the team received an outlook on possible acreage, growing conditions and prices for HRS wheat, even though weather has delayed planting, in addition to meeting directly with wheat farmers. “The team met with three of our producer board members, which I think is a highlight of these trade teams,” Erica Olson, marketing specialist with the North Dakota Wheat Commission, said. “The buyers get to meet directly with the person who grows the product they buy and our producers get the opportunity to assure them that they are committed to growing the best quality wheat possible.

National 4-H Conference delegates and design team
By Audrey Rider, SDSU Extension 4-H Youth Leadership Field Specialist The National 4-H Conference held as the yearly “working conference” in Washington, D.C., had a little extra South Dakota (SD) flavor this year. In addition to the four delegates and one chaperone that come from across South Dakota, the ten person leadership team included Michael Sperry, a high school junior from Aberdeen and Peter Nielson, 4-H Youth Program Director for South Dakota State University (SDSU) Extension. The youth adult partnership between Sperry and Nielson was one of five selected to run the conference activities with other partnerships from Iowa, Oklahoma, New York, and North Carolina. Their work began last fall and culminated in an eight-day leadership trip with almost three hundred delegates from across the nation. A delegation of 4 South Dakota 4-H youth representing 3 counties including Meade, Lawrence, and Brule County, attended National 4-H Conference in Washington, DC. The SD delegation returned home from a week in which more than 270 youth and adults representing 4-H programs across the country gathered to exchange ideas, gain knowledge to share back at home and develop recommendations to help guide the future of 4-H programs nationally and in their communities. Maggie Tupper and Samantha Sleep from Lawrence County, Whitney Werdel from Meade County, and Erin Mairose from Brule County represented SD at the April 6-11 conference. Through various conference sessions and facilitated discussions, delegates learned and shared information on current trends and issues relevant to 4-H and youth, building effective partnerships, creating innovative 4-H programs, expanding the use of technology, working with diverse groups, and impacting community needs. At the completion of roundtable discussions, delegates gave presentations to federal agencies to recommend innovative change and represent youth voice. Delegates also had the opportunity to meet with Noem, Thune, and Johnson on Capitol Hill Day and discuss state 4-H programs with congressional members and their staff. The National 4-H Conference upholds a tradition dating back to 1927 when the first “National 4-H Club Camp” was held on the grounds of the National Mall in front of the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Known as the “Secretary’s Conference”, National 4-H Conference continues to be USDA’s premier youth development event. More information about the National 4-H Conference can be found on the 4-H website (http://www.4-h.org/4-hconference/). For more information on the National 4-H trips available to SD youth, please contact Audrey Rider (http://igrow.org/ about/authors/audrey-rider/).

gives everyone a chance to discuss the questions or concerns they may have.” Olson also said that meeting with researchers at North Dakota State University provided team members with a better understanding of how spring wheat varieties are developed, including how researchers work to meet quality targets. The team also gained more knowledge of the elevator system and the economics of farm production. USW worked with the North Dakota Wheat Commission to organize this year’s team in addition to collaborating with the North American Millers’ Association, the North American Export Grain Association, the Northern Crops Institute and other industry organizations.
UNL graduate student conducts biomass research
Eastern red cedar trees are becoming a nuisance tree, growing where they are not wanted. But instead of removing and wasting the trees, a University of Nebraska-Lincoln (UNL) graduate student is trying to simplify a way to use the material for good. Adam Smith, a first-year natural resource sciences graduate student, is conducting research that could help people CONTINUED ON PAGE B21

throughout Nebraska use eastern red cedar trees in a nonwasteful and even helpful way. Smith, who graduated from UNL in 2009 with a bachelor’s degree in fisheries and wildlife, is attempting to estimate the volume of woody material a property has available for biomass utilization purposes, often in the form of woodchips and used as a heating fuel, based on the height and diameter of the trees on the property. When Smith began his job at the Nebraska Forest Service as the forestry project coordinator, he saw an opportunity to assist landowners in using unwanted red cedars as an economic resource. “The alternative to woody biomass utilization is to pile the trees and destroy them, when they could be a source of income,” Smith said. After selecting forest inventory points throughout the state, Smith collected data on the location, species, diameter and height of trees at these points. Research by Tala Awada, professor and interim director of the School of Natural Resources, is used to estimate the mass of red cedar trees per cubic foot. The estimate of tree mass per cubic foot and Smith’s volume estimate together will determine the total weight of each tree and therefore estimate total available woody material in the area. Smith gathered data from across the state and saw a noticeable difference between regions. Although more moisture in eastern Nebraska makes it easy for the trees to establish rapidly in the region, red cedars also can grow in harsh conditions. In western Nebraska, this allows the trees to outgrow other vegetation struggling with hot, dry conditions. Since there is more available land in the west, the trees have more space to grow as well. “If the trees have the opportunity to get a foothold, they will,” Smith said. “And the current drought conditions offer the perfect opportunity for these trees to continue expanding.” Smith’s research will give professionals the opportunity to calculate how much woody material is available to be used as biomass fuel and offer landowners help in finding a market for it. According to Smith, the landowner can benefit not only from the profit from selling the wood, but also can reclaim the land where the red cedars had been growing. “An outdoorsman will appreciate the ability to walk through the grasslands of Nebraska again,” he said.

Battling climate change with tried and true methods
By Dennis O’Brien, Agricultural Research Service U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) scientists and their partners are providing guidance to growers in Montana and the Dakotas on how they can use some tried-and-true agricultural practices to reduce their climate change footprint. Upendra Sainju and his colleagues with the Agricultural Research Service (ARS) in Sidney, Montana, have been studying how no-till systems, crop rotation and other approaches can reduce greenhouse gas emissions, sustain crop yields and cut back on the use of nitrogen fertilizer that pollutes the air and water. ARS is USDA’s principal intramural scientific research agency, and this research supports the USDA priority of responding to climate change. Agriculture contributes about 25 percent of the carbon dioxide produced by humans and 70 percent of the similarly produced nitrous oxide being released into the atmosphere. Tillage, cropping sequences, crop-fallow management practices, and the use of nitrogen fertilizers all play significant roles in those emissions. The researchers evaluated the effects of irrigation, tillage, cropping systems, and nitrogen fertilization on greenhouse gas emissions from five cropping systems in sandy loam soil in western North Dakota, where growers can irrigate fields. They also studied three cropping systems in loam soil in eastern Montana where irrigation is not usually an option. They raised conventionally tilled malt barley with and without nitrogen fertilizer, no-till malt barley with and without fertilizer, and a no-till malt barley-pea rotation with and without fertilizer. Some systems were irrigated and others were not, and the researchers tracked soil temperatures and soil water content, measured plant biomass, and used static, vented chambers to measure greenhouse gases. Their results, described in papers in the Journal of Environmental Quality and the Soil Science Society of America Journal, showed that regardless of whether the field was irrigated, the no-till malt barley-pea rotation with reduced nitrogen fertilizer rates was the most effective system for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and sustaining yields. They also found that the no-till barley-pea rotation reduced the need for fertilizers with no effect on yields.

By Kathryn Reeves, SDSU Extension 4-H Science Field Specialist Adapted from an article by Janet Tobiassen Crosby, DVM Building a dog first aid kit is the first step in being prepared for an animal emergency. While there are many pre-made kits available, your own kit has advantages, because you can prepare specific items to match the size of your pet. A home kit might be slightly different from a camping kit. Consider your lifestyle and your dog when choosing items for your kit. • Antibiotic ointment. Use with discretion as it may increase unwanted licking. • Antiseptic wash or wipes. Nonstinging is better than alcohol. • Bandage scissors. The blunted ends slip easily between bandage and skin without addition injury. • Container. Make sure it’s well-marked and portable. • Diphenhydramine (aka Benadryl) and dosage recommendation for stings and allergic reactions. • Ear wash. Consult your vet. • Extra towels, washcloths and a blanket. A bath towel can be used to create a hammock for transport. • Ice and hot packs. • Latex or plastic exam gloves. They protect you both and make messy things easier to clean up. • Muzzle. Animals in pain will bite. • Phone Numbers: Regular vet, emergency vet, animal control, and animal poison control. • QuickClot or similar to stop bleeding. • Roll of gauze. For bandages, to help stop bleeding, and padding for splints. • Scissors for cutting things like hair, entanglements, etc. • Sterile eye wash. Not contact lens solution. • Syringe or large eye dropper. To flush wounds or administer fluids. • Tape, as in 1-inch white medical tape. • Telfa pads: non-stick dressings for wounds • Thermometer. Write down your pet’s normal temperature so you don’t have to remember. • Tick remover tool. If ticks are common in your area. • Toenail trimmer and styptic pencil for torn toenails. Cornstarch works for torn nails, but not for skin wounds. • Tweezers. Great for splinters or other small foreign objects. • Vet-prescribed pain relief. Don’t skimp here, some human pain relievers are poisonous to pets. • Vet wrap. This is a self-cling, semi-watertight wrap, often used on horses. Caution: Don’t wrap too tightly! • Water-based lubricating jelly. Helps with the thermometer.
Stopping suckering
By Ron Smith, Horticulturist, NDSU Extension Service Q: I have several quaking aspens and Russian sages. Both are good at suckering. I can clip or pull them and get along with that. However, the aspen suckers are starting to show up in my neighbor’s yard. Is there a product I can use to stop the suckering? Do I apply it directly on the sucker? Can I spray the suckers with weed killer or will that harm the mature tree? A: There is a product called “Sucker Stopper RTU” that you should be able to get at any good garden supply outlet. You also can find it on the Web at http://www.montereylawngarden.com/faqs/suckerstopper/. It isn’t cheap but it works. Using a weed killer may end up causing harm to the tree. For answers to general horticultural questions, go to http:// www.ag.ndsu.edu/horticulture.
Sucker-Stopper RTU
By Ron Smith, Horticulturist, NDSU Extension Service Q: Recently, you had an article about SuckerStopper RTU. Is this product just for use on trees? What can I use to stop seedlings from coming up from the roots of trees? I was afraid to use Roundup because I figured it would follow the root system and kill the tree. Please advise what to do because I’ve been snipping the seedlings at ground level when they come up. A: Go ahead and use Sucker-Stopper RTU on root suckers. After you cut the suckers back as far as possible, give the cut surface a shot of RTU. After that, there will be no more suckers at that location for the balance of the growing season.

250 get fleeced at Bucking Horse Sale Contest
Thirty sheep shearers and ten wool handlers participated in the 7th annual Miles City, Montana, Bucking Horse Sale Sheep Shearing Contest on Saturday, May 18th. The group represented some of the best from the United States as well as New Zealand and Australia. American shearers traveled from both coasts, Oregon and Maryland to participate in the event. Along with the sheep shearing contest, the venue was host for the National Wool Handling Contest. The competitors in this contest were competing for the chance to represent the U.S. at the 2014 World Wool Handling competition to be held in Ireland. The event held at the Agrisports Barn on the Eastern Montana Fairgrounds saw more than 200 spectators show up at 12:30 Saturday afternoon prior to the start of the Bucking Horse Sale. They were there to watch the top four professional shearers as they each shore eight sheep in the final round. The shearers were scored on how cleanly they sheared along with a score for the speed at which they worked. “Loren is coming down the last side,” the emcee yelled as Loren Opstedahl of Piedmont, South Dakota, finished off one sheep and turned back to the pen for another. Opstedahl finished first overall in the professional category, which means he had the lowest amounts of penalty points and best times among the competitors. In the final contest, he sheared 8 sheep in 11 minutes and 4 seconds. Shearers at this competition competed for mostly bragging rights with a jackpot award provided from the entry fee each shearer pays to participate along with additional awards provided by sponsors of the contest. Top shearers also received sheep shearing gear and awards from the shearing gear suppliers in the area McWilliams Shearing and Supplies of Miles City and Heiniger Shearing Equipment of Buffalo, Wyoming. The 250 sheep that got fleeced on Saturday came from Dave and Ruth Hinnaland who raise sheep and own a trucking business near Brockway, Montana. Final results for the competition were: Professional Division; 1. Loren Opstedahl, South Dakota, 2. Mark Hoogendorn, Iowa, 3. Alex Moser, Iowa, 4. Mike Hagens, North Dakota. Intermediate Division; 1. Emily Chamelin, Maryland, 2. Brandon Braaten, Montana, 3. Jake Valentine, Oregon, 4. Terrance Pelle, South Dakota. Learner Division: 1. Parker Throckmorton, Idaho, 2. Tyler Wilde, Idaho, 3.

Eastern tent caterpillar continued from page b29
generally ineffective against mature larvae. The cocoon is about 1 inch long and made of closely woven white or yellowish silk and is attached to other objects by a few coarser threads. The adult moth emerges from the cocoon about 3 weeks later. The moth is reddish-brown with two pale stripes running diagonally across each forewing. Moths mate and females begin to lay eggs on small branches. The eggs will hatch next spring. There is only one generation per year. At this time of year, the Eastern tent caterpillar larvae are about 1 inch in length. The nests are easy to see. If you see caterpillars in your landscape, there are some steps you can take to control the springtime pest. Sometimes nature helps out and various wasp species eat the Eastern tent caterpillar. Caterpillars are frequently parasitized by various tiny braconid, ichneumonid, and chalcid wasps. Several predators and a few diseases also help to regulate their populations. This, in part, accounts for the fluctuating population levels from year to year. Prevention and early control is important. Removal and destruction of the egg masses from ornamentals and fruit trees during the winter greatly reduces the problem next
spring. In the early spring, small tents can be removed and destroyed by hand. Wait until the caterpillars are back in the nest at night. When they are inside the nest, wind it around a stick or broom and dispose of the nest. Burning the tents out with a torch is not recommended since this can easily damage the tree. On smaller trees, egg masses can be pruned off and destroyed. You can spray Dipel or Bt-based (Bacillus thuringiensis) insecticides on foliage where larvae are still feeding if the larvae are small. It will not control mature larvae or those that have stopped feeding. Pyrethroid insecticides can be sprayed directly on caterpillars in tents or on foliage. Another insecticide to use is carbaryl. Read the label to make sure the product can be used on the tree or shrub that you are spraying and follow all label directions. For wandering caterpillars on the sides of houses and decks, sweeping and destroying is an option where they are massed on accessible places such as driveways, sidewalks, and patios. It is likely that this will need to be done anyway if an insecticide is applied that kills many of the caterpillars in place. It is a greater challenge to kill or remove caterpillars dispersed over a wide area.

Prairie Fare: Don’t forget your spices
By Julie Garden-Robinson, Food and Nutrition Specialist, NDSU Extension Service After attending a conference with a session about spices, I was inspired to do an inventory of the spices in my kitchen cabinet. I needed to find recipes to enjoy the underutilized bottles. As we arranged the spices, I recalled a question I received while doing a talk several years ago. The person asked, “How long are the spices in my cupboard good to use? I have a bunch I received for a wedding gift.” I kind of knew she was teasing me by the grin on her face. “How long have you been married?” I asked. “It’s been 40 years now,” she replied. Everyone burst out laughing. If you have old metal spice containers, you may have collectibles that may be worth some money. However, their contents won’t add a lot of flavor for your menu creations. Sometimes spices and other ingredients get lost in our cupboards. We might not know exactly what to do with the thyme or cumin we bought for a specific recipe. Maybe the recipe you tried wasn’t that tasty. When we discover the spices again, they might not be at their best any longer. You can add extra spice to offset the flavor loss. However, sometimes the amount you need to achieve the same flavor can affect the color and quality of your dish. According to a leading spice manufacturer, unopened containers of ground spices maintain their freshness for three years. After opening the container, they remain fresh and flavorful for up to one year. Unopened containers of whole spices, such as cloves, remain fresh and flavorful for four years. After opening the container, whole spices are flavorful for up to one year. Don’t worry about vanilla extract, though. It has an infinite shelf life. If you didn’t label your spices with the date you bought them or opened them, what are some other clues? You can “sniff” them or taste them. You can check their color. If the color has faded, that might mean the flavor has faded, too. continued on page b34

Where do you store your spices? If your spices are stored very close to your dishwasher or oven, you may be reducing their shelf life. Keep them in a cool, dry spot in your cupboard. Heat and moisture decrease the potency of spices. Don’t freeze them because that can introduce moisture into the containers. Be sure your measuring spoons are dry when you measure spices into a recipe. Prevent spices from becoming damp and clumping by not opening them over a steaming pan of food. Many spices are high in natural antioxidants and may have health-promoting effects. Antioxidants act as potential cancer fighters in our bodies. Spices add flavor and aroma without adding many calories. In addition, most spices contain little, if any, sodium. For example, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon has the antioxidant capacity of 1/2 cup of blueberries. If you are monitoring your sodium intake, be sure to check the Nutrition Facts labels because some spice mixtures contain added salt. For instance, lemon pepper may contain more than pepper. Consider doing an inventory of your spices. We had “spice cabinet chaos” until my kids helped me align them in alphabetical order a few months ago. That system is working pretty well. To enjoy spices at their best, be sure to label your spices with the date of purchase and opening. Buy smaller containers of spices unless you plan to use a larger amount within the best storage time. Here’s a tasty recipe that makes use of one of the most popular spices in many kitchens: cinnamon. In the U.S., we typically use cinnamon in baked goods. In the Middle East, cinnamon is added to stews and curries, especially dishes containing lamb. Cinnamon accents the natural sweetness in foods. Try sprinkling some on fresh apple slices, ice cream, yogurt, tea or coffee. Apple Coffee Cake 5 c. peeled, chopped tart apples 1 c. sugar 1 c. raisins or dried cranberries 1/2 c. pecans, chopped 1/4 c. canola or sunflower oil 2 tsp. vanilla 1 egg, beaten 2 1/2 c. all-purpose flour 1 1/2 tsp. baking soda 2 tsp. cinnamon Preheat oven to 350 F. Lightly oil or spray a 9- by 12-inch pan. Rinse, core, peel and chop the apples. In a large mixing bowl, combine apples with the sugar, raisins and pecans; mix well. Let stand 30 minutes. Stir in oil, vanilla and egg. Sift together flour, soda and cinnamon; stir into apple mixture about one-third at a time, just enough to moisten the dry ingredients. Place the batter into the pan. Bake 35 to 40 minutes. Cool cake slightly before serving. Makes 20 servings. Each serving has 180 calories, 5 grams (g) of fat, 33 g of carbohydrate, 3 g of protein and 100 milligrams of sodium.
UNL to host September beef symposium
By University of Nebraska-Lincoln IANR Kenneth Eng wants to give something back to the industry in which he’s spent his life. To honor his late wife, Caroline, who died about three years ago, Eng has donated a total of around $2 million to three universities to fund research on how to increase cattle efficiency in times of stress. Along with the University of Nebraska-Lincoln (UNL), the Dr. Kenneth and Caroline Eng Foundation has granted money to Texas A&M University and Oklahoma State University. Eng spent most of his professional career in Texas, but is a Nebraska native, having been born in Boone County near Newman Grove. On September 12 and 13, UNL will host the first Cow-Calf Efficiency Symposium, which will present the findings of the research so far. The event will take place in the Johnny Carson Center. Eng believes that semi-confinement systems can provide an answer to the problem of decreased feed due to drought. In semi-confinement systems, cattle are held in a dirt lot, with less space than a regular pasture. This reduces their energy continued on page b35
Manage stress to make better farming decisions
By NDSU Extension Service Some of the most pressing concerns faced by farmers and ranchers, such as weather-related issues, can elevate personal stress and disrupt sound decision-making. “Producers and their families should think family first and keep current challenges in perspective,” says Sean Brotherson, North Dakota State University (NDSU) Extension Service family science specialist. “Weather-related stress and other sources of concern in agriculture can put persistent strain on farmers and ranchers operating in today’s agricultural economy. However, what farmers and ranchers want to be careful about is letting their personal stresses pile up so that their management practices and decision-making become negatively affected. When you’re under stress, you may communicate less with others, become more disjointed in your thinking and make decisions based on anxiety or anger.” To assist individuals and families in farming or ranching to think through and make healthy personal and business decisions in times of stress, Brotherson suggests such strategies as clarifying values and goals, identifying available resources, evaluating costs and benefits, and understanding different decision-making styles. “It’s helpful to have a process to work through as you are making decisions that affect your bottom line or your family security,” Brotherson says. “This makes it possible to reduce stress and increase the quality of decisionmaking. This is important because your decisions affect all the operations on the farm or ranch. These decisions also determine the quality of your personal life and family relationships.” Brotherson has these suggestions: • Identify key values important to the well-being of you and your family. The same holds true for the farm or ranch operation. Discuss these values and then develop goals that are specific and clear that will guide your family and business decision-making. • Identify personal and interpersonal resources, such as creativity or communication, that cost little but can aid in your decision-making. Also, identify tangible, concrete resources such capital or equipment that are important in making decisions. Seek ways to access or create these resources. • Evaluate the costs and benefits involved in making a particular decision to each member of the family or business operation. Then evaluate the costs and benefits to the couple or the family as a whole. • Examine your decision-making style and then think about what decision-making process will work best for the family and the farm or ranch operation in a particular circumstance.
UNL to host September beef symposium continued from page b34
output levels and allows them to be sustained on less feed. “It’s a good strategy if you are under drought stress,” Eng said. “We’ve done so many things incorrectly; it’s time to look at what might be good for the whole industry.” Today, only about 25 percent of available crop residue (such as corn stalks) are being used for cattle feed. Larry Berger, the head of the animal science department at UNL, has worked with Eng for two years. “He’s very creative,” Berger said. “He’s one of the outof-the box type thinkers who likes to explore new things.” UNL is currently working on a research trial in Mead and Scottsbluff. There is about a 15-20 inch difference in the amount of annual rainfall between the two regions, with Mead being wetter. The researchers will measure feed costs, animal performances and animal health and reproduction rates at each site. “It provides an opportunity to help producers deal with the extended drought and this is new research that will give cattle producers in Nebraska alternatives to consider in feeding their cattle,” Berger said. Eng said that he is looking forward to the event. “I’m looking forward to some really good new data being presented,” Eng said. “We hope to have a big crowd and I hope to see a lot of old friends.” Pre-registration is $100 and it costs $125 at the door. Several hotels are within walking distance of the event. To register, go to http://go.unl.edu/cowcalfsymposium.

By Oklahoma State University Extension Old Man Winter held on longer than usual this year, but now summertime temperatures are taking hold, providing ample reason for cattle producers to guard against heat stress in their herds. Brian Freking, Oklahoma State University Cooperative Extension Southeast District livestock specialist, said understanding and avoiding heat stress in cattle can be a valuable management tool in Oklahoma, where most areas of the state experience 70 or more days each year with temperatures that exceed 90 degrees Fahrenheit. “Cattle have an upper critical temperature that is approximately 20 degrees Fahrenheit cooler than humans,” he said. “When we’re uncomfortable at 80 degrees and feel hot at 90 degrees, cattle may well be in the danger zone for extreme heat stress.” The potentially bad news does not end there. Humidity is an additional stress that intensifies ambient temperature problems by making body heat dissipation more difficult. In other words, it can be tough to cool off in Oklahoma during the summer, for people and cattle. High humidity contributes to the likelihood of heat stroke or prostration because water evaporation from the oral and nasal cavities is decreased, in spite of rapid panting, a heat regulatory device in cattle. “Since cattle sweat very little, the primary mechanism they have to remove internal heat is by breathing the warm air out of their body, which is accomplished much more efficiently in low humidity environments,” Freking said. Signs of heat stress include slobbering, heavy panting, open mouth breathing and lack of coordination. Severe cases may include depression and trembling that require some type of low stress intervention. “If water is applied to cattle for cooling, it is important that a large droplet size be applied,” Freking said. “Misting water does not reach the hide and only adds humidity to the breathing environment.” Fortunately, overheating in cattle can be prevented under most management conditions. Allowing cattle access to cool water and mineral supplements is a must during hot summertime weather. “If possible, producers should increase the number of watering locations in a pasture utilizing temporary troughs or tubs,” said Nathan Anderson, Payne County Extension director and agricultural educator. “Cattle tend to bunch up around watering areas, which will reduce air flow and increase heat stress.”
Frozen ferns
By Ron Smith, Horticulturist, NDSU Extension Service Q: We had four beautiful hanging ferns on our porch. I was away, so they were damaged by frost. When I returned, they were all brown except for a few leaves on each plant. We had planned to put them inside for the winter. Is there hope for them? Can we put them in a 50- degree room in the basement that gets little light during the winter with the hope the plants will recover next spring? A: Getting nipped by a light frost is one thing, while getting clobbered by a hard freeze into the mid or lower 20s is something else. It depends on how long the temperatures stayed at the lethal level, so I cannot give you an accurate prediction if the ferns will come back next spring. Being the eternal optimist, I predict that they will recover. You also have nothing to lose by giving them a chance.

Attracting butterflies to your garden
By Annette Meyer Heisdorffer, Daviess County Extension Agent for Horticulture Butterflies are fun to watch fluttering from plant to plant. Inviting them to the garden is easy by planting certain trees, shrubs, and flowers. Butterflies are very near-sighted and are drawn more toward large stands of one type of flower than those planted singly. Groups of flowers with bright, contrasting colors help to attract butterflies. Large, single, upright blooms provide a landing area that makes extracting the nectar easier. They have mouthparts shaped as a long, coiled tube. Forcing blood into the tube straightens it out, allowing butterflies to feed on liquids. They get all of their food through this tube, which limits them to nectar from flowers and standing water. Butterflies also have a very well developed sense of smell from their antennae. All butterflies’ antennae are club shaped, as compared to moths, which can be many shapes but often are feathery. Female butterflies look for specific species of plants to lay their eggs. The eggs are attached to the leaves or stems of the plants. After the larva, which looks like a tiny caterpillar, emerges from the egg, it begins to eat the plant. Having plants in the garden for larval food is important for the continued development of the butterfly into an adult. Caterpillars must crawl out of the skin or molt, because the skin does not grow or stretch along with the expanding caterpillar. After molting, a new and larger skin or exoskeleton replaces the old one. Caterpillars may molt four to five times before changing into a pupa, which is also called a chrysalis. While in the chrysalis, which looks like a sack, the caterpillar’s structure is broken down and a butterfly is formed. Finally, the adult butterfly emerges, spreads its wings, and flies away. The larvae can be very noticeable also. Watch out for the hairs or forked spines, which may or may not sting, on some caterpillars. Certain swallowtail caterpillars imitate snakes or bird droppings. Other caterpillars, like sulphers, are camouflaged and blend into their surroundings very well. Butterfly caterpillars can eat excessive amounts of foliage on a plant. You can physically move them to another less noticeable portion of the plant. Protect your hands by wearing gloves since some caterpillars have hairs or forked spines which may sting. Don’t use insecticides on these plants because the butterflies and caterpillars will be killed. If there is an insect pest problem, remove the pest by hand. Butterflies gather at puddles as a source of water. Puddles for butterflies can be made by digging a small pit or trench and lining it with plastic or burying a shallow, plastic container to the rim and filling it with wet sand. Butterflies will be attracted to the puddles by pouring in liquid such as sweet drinks or water. Overripe fruit allowed to sit for a few days is a very attractive substance. A diversity of plants in the garden will help to attract different types of butterflies. Trees which the butterfly larvae use for food include willow (Salix spp.), wild cherry (Prunus spp.), birch (Betula spp.), and tulip poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera). One medium-sized shrub that butterflies use for food is spicebush (Lindera benzoin). These trees and shrub grow best in full sun. The spicebush will grow in partly shaded locations. Annual plants used by butterfly larvae for food include: snapdragon (Antirrhinum spp.), dill (Anethum graveolens), sweet pea (Lathyrus odoratus), and parsley (Petroselinum crispum). Full sun is the best location for these plants. Perennials that attract butterflies for larval food are: butterfly weed (Asclepias tuberosa), fennel (Foeniculum vulgare), and violet (Viola spp.). Butterfly weed and fennel prefer full sun. Flowering annual plants which grow in the sun and attract butterflies because of their nectar include: marigold (Tagetes spp.), zinnia (Zinnia elegans), gloriosa daisy (Rudbeckia hirta), nasturtium (Tropaeolum majus), flowering tobacco (Nicotiana alata), sweet William (Dianthus barbatus), bachelor’s button (Centaurea cyanus), cosmos (Cosmos spp.), sunflower (Helianthus), and sweet Alyssum (Lobularia maritima). Impatiens (Impatiens wallerana) is an annual that grows in the shade. Flowering perennial plants for attracting butterflies include: purple coneflower (Echinacea purpurea), phlox (Phlox spp.), butterfly weed (Asclepias tuberosa), daylily (Hemerocallis spp.), aster (Aster spp.), blanket flower (Gaillardia spp.), coreopsis (Coreopsis spp.), chrysanthemum (Chrysanthemum spp.), dahlia (Dahlia spp.), hollyhock continued on page c2

By Ron Smith, Horticulturist, NDSU Extension Service Q: I have five cactus plants. Three are by themselves and two are together. One of the cactus plants keeps growing to one side, so I have to keep rotating it every week or two. Why is that? Also, I have another one that has a moldlike substance on the top and a little on the sides. Can you please help me? I also have two that the thorns are falling off. (Michigan) A: You need to contact the Michigan State University county Extension office where you live to get your concerns answered. The horticulturist will want, as a minimum, to know what variety of cactus you are referring to and if the plants are all one variety or five different ones. The horticulturist also will need to know if you are fertilizing the plants and your watering regime. To find a horticulturist in your area, go to http://www.msue.msu.edu/ portal/default.cfm?pageset_ id=25744&page_ id=25770&msue_portal_ id=25643 and then click on your county. Also, a couple of high-quality photos would help in resolving the problems. For answers to general horticultural questions, go to http://www.ag.ndsu.edu/ horticulture. ##### quaff (KWAF), verb.

Weeping birch tree
By Ron Smith, Horticulturist, NDSU Extension Service Q: Our 12-year-old weeping birch tree appears to have died because all the leaves have turned brown. Do you think it is a goner or should we wait to see if it revives next year? What do you think caused this? The leaves started turning brown early this summer. A: It certainly sounds like your birch is a goner and the disease that likely caused its decline could be a vascular wilt, which you can do nothing about once it gets started. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news because this is one of my favorite tree species. I have owned and admired one for the past 27 years on my property. If your area was under water or the soil saturated last year from the flooding that took place, this could be where the problem got started.

By Ron Smith, Horticulturist, NDSU Extension Service Q: My cottonwood tree is going on three years old. The roots do not want to grow into the ground. I have had posts and wire to hold up the tree for all three years because the trunk of the tree moves around. What can I do? A: The first mistake was overstaking the tree. Go to http:// www.treesaregood.com/treecare/resources/New_TreePlanting.pdf to review how it should have been done. If you modify your staking now, I believe your tree eventually will stabilize. Generally, it takes one growing season to accomplish this.

Mole management
By Annette Meyer Heisdorffer, Daviess County Extension Agent for Horticulture How can such small mammals tear up the lawn? Yes, I am talking about moles. They can be a huge challenge to handle in the lawn. To improve your success of managing them, some tips are provided below. Moles are found in lawns, pastures, meadows, and woodlands. The eastern mole (Scalopus aquaticus) is the most common and abundant mole in Kentucky. Moles are not rodents. They have sharp, pointed teeth used for catching and eating earthworms and other insects. The enlarged front feet are paddle-like with enlarged toenails uniquely adapted for digging. The mole also has a cylindrical body, a long, tapered snout, and eyes and ears so tiny they almost appear to be missing. The hind legs are very small, enabling the mole to turn with ease in a narrow passage. Fully-grown moles measure 4 to 7.5 inches long including a very short tail. Fur color varies from black to brownish to grayish with silver highlights. Moles construct and use two types of extensive underground tunnels: shallow surface tunnels in the spring, summer, and fall, and deep, permanent tunnels used year-round as the main avenues of travel and for feeding. Surface tunnels are most abundant after a warm rain or during the spring and fall when moles are actively searching for insects or earthworms. They are the only animals that create surface tunnels. Underground tunnels are often deep, and the only evidence that moles exist may be mounds of soil (molehills) pushed up to the surface. They are used as highways leading from cavities to feeding areas and are used mostly during hot, dry, or very cold weather when earthworms and insects move deeper into the soil. Nest cavities and home areas can be found 12 to 18 inches beneath the soil surface connecting the deep tunnels. Moles are antisocial, solitary animals and live alone except to breed. Males and females come together only for a brief encounter during February to mate. In April, after a 45-day gestation period, two to five large, hairless young are born in the underground nest chamber. At five weeks, they are half grown. At six weeks, they leave to fend for themselves. Eastern moles are active any time of the day, but they are most active from 4:00 to 7:00 a.m. and 6:00 to 9:00 p.m. all year. Moles must be very active to meet high-energy requirements. In fact, they can burrow as fast as 1 foot per minute. High-energy mole food comes as earthworms, grubs, beetles and beetle larvae, insects and insect larvae, snails, and spiders. If you have problems with moles, one of the most effective ways to control them is to use a harpoon trap. Surface burrows are used most actively during the spring and fall. To be successful, you must find an active burrow. To determine which runs are active, flatten a small section of the run with your foot and check the next morning. Within 12 to 24 hours active runs will be repaired. Place a trap in this location. Be sure to handle the trap safely; keep it away from children and follow the manufacturer’s directions. Put a small bucket over them if children or pets are present. If the trap has not captured a mole in three days: the trap was placed in the wrong location; the run was disturbed too much; the mole detected the trap; the mole changed its habits and was not actively using the burrow; or all the moles in the general area are captured. A publication on moles is available with more detailed instructions on how to be more successful with traps at the Cooperative Extension Service Office. Another product on the market is a fake worm injected with the rodenticide, bromethalin. Examples of trade names for this product are Talpirid and Tomcat Mole Killer. These can be placed into active runs or mounds to give immediate mole kill when they eat it. When you find an active run, the void within the run is only an inch or two below the grass. This is where the biodegradable worm is placed. With fresh mounds, the underground run is usually 6 to 18 inches below the mound. The worm has to be pushed down into the void by using a dowel or stick through the one-inch diameter hole that the mole made to connect to the below ground run. It is not practical to place the fake worms in older runs because the organic worms may decay before the mole returns. Always follow the safety precautions when using the product. There is some evidence that repellents containing the active ingredient castor oil are effective in repelling moles from lawns. If a suitable habitat remains for the moles, they will return. Follow the manufacturer’s label closely and observe safety precautions.

However, remember that extra high grass, Pickup only at Lewistown, phone Karen (406) 538-2964 especially tall fescue, tends to fall over and mat down during hot summer weather causing increased summer disease problems. Another important mowing tip is to sharpen the mower blade several times during the season, possibly four to six times per year. A sharp mower blade makes mowing easier, reduces wear on the mower, and results in a better-looking and healthier lawn. A dull mower blade tears the leaf instead of making a clean, sharp cut. A torn leaf blade is more susceptible to invasion by a disease. Another tip is to mow often so that only one-third of the grass blade is removed at any one time. During the spring, the lawn may need to be mowed more than once a week.

The use of best management practices encourages a healthy lawn. Fertilizing at the right time and proper mowing procedures are two factors discussed below which affect the quality of the lawn. Grass grows at the fastest rate of the year beginning around mid-April. Any nitrogen applied in the spring will cause more problems than it solves. It will decrease spring root growth and summer drought tolerance as well as increase weed and disease problems. The best time to apply nitrogen fertilizer is in the fall. Fall fertilization helps the lawn develop a deep root system and become very dense to crowd out spring weeds. Another problem caused by applying nitrogen fertilizer in mid-spring is excessive grass growth. Because the grass is already growing rapidly, fertilizing might make it difficult for you to mow often enough to remove the recommended one-third to onehalf of leaf material at each mowing. Applying nitrogen mid-spring will just worsen an already difficult situation. Mowing properly helps to improve the quality of the lawn. The recommended mowing height for tall fescue is 2 to 3 inches, and for Kentucky bluegrass the height is 2 to 2.5 inches. Mowing at the best height for the grass encourages a deeper root system, which will help protect your lawn against drought and weeds. Not all grasses start growing at the same time. Grass on northern slopes or in heavy clay soil will start growing several days later than other locations. Following recommendations for mowing height and frequency will make your lawn care duties easier and result in a more attractive yard. If your mower has a fixed, all-year height, set it at 2.5 inches. However, if you can easily vary the height, set it at 1.5 to 2 inches

Olive oil milling leftovers scrutinized in ARS studies
By Marcia Wood, Agricultural Research Service For every gallon of olive oil that’s pressed from the ripe fruit, about 38 pounds of olive skins, pulp and pits are left behind. Known as pomace, these leftovers typically have low-value uses. But U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) agricultural engineer Rebecca R. Milczarek and her colleagues are working with olive growers and olive-oil processors in California—where most of the nation’s commercial olives are grown—to find new, environmentally friendly, and profitable uses for pomace. According to Milczarek, pomace from California mills is usually a wet, heavy goulash that ranges in color from green to brown to black to purple, and has an aroma somewhat like that of olive tapenade, a flavorful spread made of finely chopped or puréed olives, anchovies, capers, garlic and olive oil. Milczarek notes that one key to creating higher-value uses for pomace is to develop techniques that millers can use to quickly and affordably dry it on-site. That would make the pomace lighter, and easier and less expensive to ship to, for example, a centralized processing plant. There, specialized equipment could be used to extract additional oil or perhaps compounds for use in new foods, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics or other products. In her research, Milczarek is investigating the dynamics of drying pomace. The goal of these studies is to determine precisely how long it would take for water to diffuse from the pomace under specific conditions. In preliminary experiments, documented in a 2011 peerreviewed article in the Journal of Food Engineering, Milczarek’s team dried small batches of fresh pomace, using a combination of microwave and convection (hot forced air) heating. The drying rates for the four internal temperatures studied—104 degrees, 122 degrees, 140 degrees, and 158 degrees Fahrenheit—averaged about 28 percent lower than those reported in some studies conducted by other scientists. The bottom line? Lower drying rates mean more drying time is needed in order for the pomace to dry sufficiently. What can olive mills do about that? For commercial drying, pomace would be carried on a conveyor belt through a “drying tunnel.” With the drying rates in mind, the tunnel could be lengthened, or the conveyor belt could be slowed, to ensure that pomace emerging from the tunnel isn’t damp and prone to mold. Of course, drying adds to mills’ energy costs. However, the combination of microwave and convection drying that Milczarek tested is inherently more energy-efficient than drying options that are based solely on convection, she points out. Two features of Milczarek’s study—keeping the pomace’s internal temperature steady when testing each temperature regimen, and taking pomace shrinkage into account—likely made the research unique among olive-pomace-drying experiments and contributed to the accuracy of her results. Milczarek is with the USDA Agricultural Research Service (ARS) Western Regional Research Center in Albany, California. ARS is the USDA’s chief intramural scientific research agency.
Curculio damaged plums
By Ron Smith, Horticulturist, NDSU Extension Service Q: I have a client who brought in some plums that have worm damage. I believe pectin is coming out of the plums. He sprayed them with a fruit insecticide (he couldn’t remember the name) during blossoming, but they are starting to fall off the tree. This also happened the last two years, so that is why he sprayed this year. Is there anything else he can do? A: These plums have curculio damage. Pick off and pick up any plums that are showing any evidence of this activity. Absolute sanitation is a must. Rake up all the fallen leaves and fruit in the fall. Spray the tree with dormant oil in the early spring before bud break and then spray again with Isotox or Malathion at bud swelling. At petal drop, spray the tree with Sevin and again two weeks later after all the petals have dropped. He also can place pheromone traps in the tree. The traps will keep the females from being fertilized and reduce the incidence of larval damage.

Heavy rains can strip away mobile soil nutrients
By Clain Jones, MSU Extension soil fertility specialist in the Department of Land Resources and Environmental Sciences Heavy spring rains in portions of the state have probably increased yield potentials but may also be increasing nutrient losses of nitrogen, sulfur and chloride. In addition, waterlogged soils and cool temperatures increase disease potential and decrease plant nutrient uptake due to poor root growth. “To prevent yield losses and low protein, fertilizer can be added now, but only after verifying that the crop is nutrient deficient,” said Clain Jones, Extension soil fertility specialist in the Department of Land Resources and Environmental Sciences at Montana State University. Visual identification of deficiencies can be seen in a variety of ways. Nitrogen deficiency commonly shows as uniform yellow discoloration from the leaf tip backward, appearing in older leaves first. Even legumes may be nitrogen deficient if they are unable to fix their own nitrogen or take up sufficient nitrogen. Sulfur deficiency also causes uniform yellowing, but shows up on upper, younger leaves first. In contrast, yellowing due to disease or lack of other nutrients is usually non-uniform, striped or spotty. For example, chloride, which can also leach, shows up as spots on certain varieties of wheat. To determine if nitrogen has been lost from a field, test the soil for available ammonium and nitrate to at least three feet deep, if possible. Jones said ammonium testing can be omitted if urea fertilizer was applied at least a month ago because it will likely have converted to nitrate by now. If the soil test indicates insufficient nitrogen, re-apply nitrogen fertilizer, taking into account changes in yield potential. If nitrogen deficiency is due to leaching below the reach of young roots or poor uptake because of water-saturated soils, then patience may be the best approach, “but yields could also be lost by being too patient,” noted Jones. If nitrogen leaches only a few inches below the young roots, then the roots will soon reach the necessary nitrogen if they are healthy. Nitrogen leached lower in the root zone is not necessarily a total loss. If the roots reach deep nitrogen sources near the time of flowering, the nitrogen boost can increase grain protein. However, in coarse or shallow soils, leached nitrogen may be beyond the depth of even mature roots. A rescue treatment for nitrogen is to apply 10 to 20 units of nitrogen as 28 or 32 percent urea ammonium nitrate solutions (three to six gallons per acre). Ammonium-based products contain nitrogen that is immediately available, unlike urea. Jones said treatment with urea ammonium nitrate or ammonium sulfate should help in all cases, except if nitrogen deficiency is due to poor root growth in saturated soils. Both should help the crop green-up and encourage faster root growth to ‘catch up’ to nitrogen that has moved out of reach of shallow, young roots. Sulfur deficiency can limit grain yields and protein because it is necessary for efficient nitrogen use. Soil testing is not reliable to determine sulfur sufficiency. Visual symptoms along with soil type and location in the landscape can help determine plant sulfur deficiency. Loam or more coarse-textured soils, especially on eroded ridgetops, are more susceptible to sulfur deficiency, particularly after high rainfall. Rescue treatment for sulfur is to apply three to five units of sulfur as granular ammonium sulfate (21-0-0-24) or as a liquid sulfur formulation. If a crop is uniformly yellow from bottom to top, then it is hard to distinguish whether nitrogen or sulfur is lacking. In this case, Jones suggested producers apply ammonium sulfate which provides both nutrients. Chloride is a mobile nutrient that advances plant maturity and improves overall disease resistance. With recent rains, it has likely leached out of the shallow root zone, especially of spring crops. If soil tests below 30 pounds chloride per acre in the top two feet or plant chloride levels in wheat at the boot stage are less than 0.12 percent chloride, then a yield response to chloride is likely. A rescue treatment for chloride deficiency is approximately five pounds of chloride per acre as liquid or granular potassium chloride (potash; 0-0-60). This may accelerate kernel development rates and increase yield. Surface broadcast potash is ideally incorporated with irrigation or rain after application. Yield response to chloride can occur over a wide range of environments and crop yield potentials. A large percentage of in-season applied chloride may be available to subsequent crops, especially under dryland conditions, because little is CONTINUED ON PAGE C20

Solutions can be sprayed on with a weed sprayer; however, yield loss from ground equipment can be one to three percent - with more damage on very wet fields. Consider aerial application if feasible. With all foliar applications be aware of potential leaf burn. Streamer bars minimize burn especially if more than 25 pounds nitrogen per acre is applied. Jones cautioned that the risk of burn increases when herbicides, fungicides, surfactants, or sulfur are included in a mix with nitrogen. In these cases, don’t exceed 15 pounds of nitrogen per acre if applied with a flat fan. Broadcast applications are best followed by half-inch of irrigation or rainfall within a couple of days to minimize nitrogen loss as ammonia gas, and to force nitrogen into the root zone. This is also true for foliar applications because only a small portion is absorbed through the leaf. The rest needs to be washed off and into the soil to be taken up by roots. For more information, see the Montana State University Extension bulletin “Practices to Increase Wheat Grain Protein”; a recent presentation by Jones on timing of foliar application; a 2011 presentation on mid-season nutrient catch-up; and related press releases. Nutrient deficiency symptoms are described in Nutrient Management Module No. 9.

Two elderly friends were golfing one Saturday, when one mentioned he was going to be fitted for dentures the following Monday. “Oh, really, who’s your dentist?” asked his friend, Harry. “Dr. Tillman, do you know him?” Harry was never one to say a bad word about anyone if he could help it, so he thought for a moment. “Yes, Davy, I know him. He is the dentist who fitted me for dentures about four years ago.” “You don’t say,” Davy remarked. “Did he do a good job?” “Well, I’ll tell you the truth, I was out here last week, and a fellow on the ninth hole hooked a shot something terrible. The ball hit me and knocked the wind right out of me. That was the first time since Dr. Tillman put my dentures in that I didn’t notice how much they hurt.”

Jack was not happy, so Grandpa read a story and then tiptoed out of the room. As Don was going down the stairs, he heard the patter of little feet and turned to find Jake trailing close behind. “Without blinking an eye, he had heaved himself over the side of the crib and escaped,” recalled Don. After several attempts at naptime, Grandma and Grandpa gave up and took Jake for ice cream. Said Don, “His mother had neglected to mention this was his newest trick of the week.”

Her doctor looked at all her lab results then left the room and returned with three large bottles of large pills. His instructions were that my mother should take two red pills in the morning, two blue pills in the afternoon, two green pills in the evening and return in one month. It was crucial, the doctor noted, that the pills be taken with two large glasses of water for each two pills. When I returned with my mother to her doctor, she was feeling much better, and I took the opportunity of her using the restroom to ask him about the medication she was using. “Oh, just placebos–no one listens to me when I tell them to drink more water!”

Vegetable gardening tips for success
By Annette Meyer Heisdorffer, Daviess County Extension Agent for Horticulture Growing vegetables in your own garden provides fresh produce outside your backdoor. This makes it easier to incorporate more servings of vegetables as part of a healthy diet. Important tips below address garden location and soil testing which may lead to a more productive season. In planning the vegetable garden, select a site which receives direct sunlight for at least eight hours a day for best production. Avoid shading caused by trees and buildings. Vegetables grown in low light conditions become leggy and do not produce very well. If partial shade is the only location available, you can grow lettuce. The site should be located where soil drains well. Areas that stay soggy after a rain cause the roots of plants to rot. Some drainage issues can be improved by building raised beds or laying drainage tile. Place the garden as far away from trees as possible. Roots from the trees can be damaged by tilling the soil or laying a raised bed on top of them. They also compete with the vegetables for water and nutrients. A location on high ground is best. Low areas which are at the bottom of a hill or slope lack air drainage and frost settles there. In addition, these areas are slow to warm up in the spring. By planting in a higher area, you may start earlier in the spring and harvest longer in the fall by escaping some light frosts. A vegetable garden planted close to your back door makes it easier to watch for weeds, insect pests, and water needs. It will also help you to harvest the vegetables at their peak maturity since you can quickly look at them daily. If space is limited, select several mini-gardens in areas around your yard instead of planting one plot. Some possible sites are near the kitchen door, around the grill, along a sidewalk, in a flowerbed, or along a fence. Next, plan the garden on paper. Draw a scale model of where the vegetables will be planted and note the projected planting date. This will save time when planting day arrives. It also helps to determine the number of transplants and amount of seed needed. The plan will provide a record to aide with crop rotation for the next year to prevent the buildup of insects and diseases. Place perennial crops, such as rhubarb and asparagus, along the edge where they can grow from year to year without being disturbed. As you plan the garden, take a soil sample from the site and have it tested. It is best to test the soil in October or November in order to adjust the pH, if needed, in the fall and plan for fertilizer needs applied before planting in the spring. However, it is not too late to test the soil even if it is in early spring. Plants need a continuous supply of nutrients for producing high yields of quality vegetables. Applying fertilizer according to soil test results allows less chance of under- or over-fertilization. To take a soil sample from the vegetable garden, make a hole 7 inches deep with a spade, shovel, or hand trowel. Then take a 1-inch slice of soil from the back of the hole, 7 inches deep. Keep the center 1- to 2-inch wide core of soil on the spade or shovel and remove the rest. Place the soil in a clean container. Repeat this process 6 to 8 times in different locations throughout the garden to collect a representative sample. Mix all of the cores of soil together and take 2 cups to the Cooperative Extension Service Office. The cost for the test is $6 in Daviess County. Results and recommendations are usually provided within 10 working days, depending on the workload at the University of Kentucky Princeton Research and Education Center Soil Lab. The soil test indicates the recommended amount of phosphorus and potassium if needed. These nutrients are necessary for the development of the plants. The test also determines pH. The ideal range of pH is 6.2 to 6.8. If the pH is lower than 6.2, results will indicate the amount of lime needed to raise the pH. The pH of the soil is important because it has a direct effect on the nutrients available to the plants. The soil test does not measure the amount of nitrogen in the soil. Nitrogen is needed by plants. It is applied in the spring before planting and again as a side dressing during the growing season. For more information about vegetable gardening, contact the Daviess County Cooperative Extension Service for the free publication, ID-128, “Home Vegetable Gardening in Kentucky”, by calling (270) 685-8480 or on the web at http:// www.ca.uky.edu/agc/pubs/id/id128/id128.pdf.

Dairy Focus: Reducing shrink with feed yard management By J.W. Schroeder, Dairy Specialist, NDSU Extension Service
What is shrinkage? It is the amount of feed delivered to or raised on the farm that is not consumed by the cattle for which it was intended. The current costly feed prices mean producers should examine all aspects of the dairy for opportunities that improve efficiencies to reduce shrinkage or waste. Managers who can identify and adjust for inefficiencies such as sorting, social effects and meal patterns can reduce feed costs without losing animal productivity. Sorting Wisconsin researchers observed extensive total mixed ration (TMR) sorting in the feed bunk in university and on-farm trials. Factors that contribute to cows sorting include the dry matter (DM) content of forage and feed mixes, particle size of forage and mix, cobs present in corn silage, amount of hay added to the feed mix, quality of hay, frequency of feeding, bunk space and feed access time. This was more evident for TMR containing 40 percent than 20 percent DM alfalfa hay. One approach is to reduce feed offerings to encourage dairy heifers to consume all or most long feed particles. If sorting is a problem, also consider one or more of the following: • Feed smaller amounts more frequently • Add less hay to the mix • Process hay more finely • Use higher-quality hay • Use hay that is more pliable • Process corn silage • Add water to drier TMR • Add a liquid molasses product to TMR to bind fines Work closely with your nutritionist because every situation differs. Also keep in mind that limit feeding is more conducive to growing heifers than lactating cows, especially early lactation cows. While you can save money reducing feed waste, any loss in milk would more than offset the savings. Don’t give up milk. Social Effects Social rank often is closely related to factors such as age and body size. Smaller animals are intimidated by larger animals when individual animal weight in the group of heifers varies by more than 125 pounds. Consequently, intake is compromised and growth rates slowed, regardless of feed quality. Therefore, special attention to first-calf heifers makes sense. These younger animals often have lower positions in a group’s dominance hierarchy compared with older cows. Because of the effects of aggression at the feed bunk on feeding behavior, managing primiparous cows in a separate group often is beneficial. Meal Pattern Ruminal pH declines following meals, with the rate of pH decline increasing as meal size increases and dietary neutral detergent fiber concentration decreasing. Bunk management practices that cause cows to eat fewer and larger meals more quickly may be associated with an increased incidence of ruminal acidosis and subsequent laminitis. Factors that can cause this slug feeding phenomena include: • Limited bunk space • Limited feed access time • Restricted feeding versus feeding for 5 to 10 percent refusal • Inconsistent feeding schedule, infrequent TMR push-up • Feed bunk competition The feeding behavior of group-housed
dairy cows is influenced by management practices at the feed bunk and factors associated with the physical and social environment. The feeding pattern of grouphoused dairy cows is largely influenced by the timing of fresh feed delivery, and the delivery of fresh feed has a greater impact on stimulating cows to eat than does the return from milking. Delivering fresh feed more frequently improves access to fresh feed for all cows and reduces sorting of the TMR. This potentially will reduce variations in diet quality consumed by cows, with benefits for milk production. The combination of limited bunk space (less than 1.5 feet per cow) and time to access feed (less than 16 to 20 hours per day) is worse than either situation alone. Waste comes in many forms, visible and invisible. The portion of feed discarded due to mold or that remains on the ground after loading or in the pen after feeding is easy to see. Quantifying when ingredients are under- or overfed to a group of cattle, or the losses to birds and other wildlife, sorted mixed diets and social order in the pen is more difficult. Applying these techniques can help dairy managers provide the right feed to the right cows at the right time in the right place at the right price.
Spraying for fungus
By Ron Smith, Horticulturist, NDSU Extension Service Q: I have a number of large spruce trees on my property. We just noticed that a few of them in different locations have a number of branches turning yellow. The information I have read on websites seems to indicate that they have a fungus. However, the remedy calls for spraying the trees in August. Our average daily temperature in late October is in the mid-50-degree range. Should I assume that this is caused by a fungus? Is there anything I can do now to help the trees? Will this kill them? Thanks for your help. A: Can I assume you live in North Dakota? If not, then contact with your county agent where you live. There are too many variables to give you an answer based on what information you’ve provided. I don’t want to make any incorrect assumptions and get you going down the wrong path. If you are in North Dakota, then you need to send me photos and a sample or two of what you are talking about. Send the material to the address at the end of this column.

Agricultural Alumni Association honors three
By K-State Research and Extension News The Kansas State University (K-State) College of Agriculture Alumni Association (http://www.ag.k-state.edu/ alumni-and-friends/ag-alumni-association.html) recognized one of the founders of U.S. Premium Beef, a Kansas Wheat executive and a K-State entomologist for their contributions to agriculture and Kansas during its annual Wild for Ag events on May 4, at the K-State Alumni Center. Steven Hunt, Liberty, Missouri, received the 2013 Distinguished Alumni Award. He currently is an adviser to U.S. Premium Beef LLC, a marketing company that provides U.S. beef producers with an opportunity to retain ownership of the beef they produce from the ranch to retail. He helped found the company in 1996 and served as its CEO from its formation until January 2013. After completing a bachelor’s degree in agricultural economics in 1981, Hunt worked in many areas of commercial banking including direct agricultural lending, credit training, finance, international and commercial lending, and pursued his lifelong interest in production agriculture. Hunt has held a seat on the National Beef Packing Company Board of Directors for 16 years and is active in various trade and civic organizations, including the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City Roundtable, the American Royal Board of Directors, the Midwest U.S.-Japan Advisory Board, National Cattlemen’s Beef Association, Livestock Meat Industry Council, Boy Scouts of America and the Agricultural Marketing Resource Center Advisory Board. He was named the college’s 2001 Outstanding Young Alumnus and the 2002 Distinguished Alumnus for the Department of Agricultural Economics. Beef magazine listed Hunt in its “Beef Top 40” of individuals who influenced the beef industry over the last 40 years. He also received the 2010 Jay B. Dillingham Agricultural Leadership and Excellence Award from the Agricultural Business Council of Kansas City. The Outstanding Young Alumnus Award was presented to Justin Gilpin, a 1998 milling science and management graduate. Since 2009, Gilpin has led Kansas Wheat, a cooperative agreement between the Kansas Wheat Commission and the Kansas Association of Wheat Growers. As CEO, he guided the completion of the Kansas Wheat Innovation Center located across the street from Bill Snyder Family Stadium in the K-State Grain Science and Industry Complex. He also serves as chairman of Heartland Plant Innovations and as a member of the Wheat Quality Council board of directors. Gilpin also holds an adjunct faculty position in K-State’s Department of Grain Science and Industry. Before accepting the CEO position, Gilpin worked at General Mills, Inc., where he coordinated logistics for three flourmills. From 2000 to 2006, Gilpin was an international marketing specialist for the Kansas Wheat Commission (KWC), where he was the primary contact for international trade teams, led research and other contractual investments and coordinated harvest quality samples, tests and grading in conjunction with KWC partners. Gilpin has been involved in a number of U.S. Wheat Associates committees and is past-chair of the Kansas City Board of Trade Cash Basis Committee. He was recently recognized as an outstanding alumnus by the grain science and industry department. Greg Zolnerowich, professor of entomology, earned the David J. Mugler Outstanding Teaching Award. Since 1999, this annual award recognizes a teacher in the College of Agriculture who emulates the personal and professional qualities demonstrated by former Associate Dean David Mugler. Zolnerowich joined the K-State faculty in 1999 and currently teaches seven undergraduate and graduate courses. He is best known for the course, Insects and People, which draws students from a broad range of majors. The popular course looks at the global impact of insects and other arthropods as animal and plant disease vectors, agricultural pests and pollinators. He won the 2012 K-State Presidential Award for Excellence in Undergraduate Teaching and the 2005 Commerce Bank Award for Outstanding Undergraduate Teaching. His enthusiasm for the subject matter and creative teaching style consistently earn high evaluations from students. In addition to his teaching duties, Zolnerowich serves as curator for the K-State Museum of Entomological and Prairie Arthropod Research in Waters Hall. He also has earned $1.3 million in grant funds for his research program on insect systematics, which is the study of the diversity and relationships of organisms.

Healthy Living In 4-H
By Nikki Van Dyke, Health and Physical Activity Field Specialist The three national mission mandates for National 4-H Council are Citizenship, Healthy Living and Science, and the educational foundation of 4-H lies in these three areas. As for 4-H Healthy Living, food and nutrition have been addressed by 4-H since beginning in 1902. Thus, healthy living has been a main goal of 4-H for many years. So what does Healthy Living mean in 4-H? 4-H Healthy Living encompasses a number of topics, including: healthy eating habits, physical fitness, the capacity to recognize and direct emotions, and the ability to develop and maintain positive social interactions and relationships. The Healthy Living mandate aims to develop an awareness and positive attitude about healthy living in youth and families, while also increasing knowledge, skills, and competencies in physical, social, and emotional well being. Incorporating healthy living into your club meetings is an important aspect to help foster the mission of 4-H Healthy Living, as well as help develop lifelong healthy behaviors in youth. Below are tips for incorporating short physical activity breaks and healthy snacking into meetings: Short Activity Break Ideas: • Have 4-H members rotate leading a dance for 2-3 songs • Do 25 jumping jacks and 25 lunges • Play Simon Says • Dance to the Macarena, Hokey Pokey or Chicken Dance • Have a quick relay (indoors or outdoors) • Do group stretching for 5-10 minutes Healthy Snacks: • Pretzels (try unsalted) • Low-fat yogurt • Low-fat cheese with whole grain crackers • Popcorn (light butter and salt) • Granola Bars • Carrot Sticks • Fresh Fruit (apples, oranges, grapes) For more information, contact Nikki Van Dyke at the Watertown Regional Extension Center at (605) 882-5140.

“Swathing is our business, not a side line”
By Casey Chumrau, USW Market Analyst While the 2012/13 marketing year does not officially close until May 31, it was already clear as of May 16 that total exports will fall shy of USDA’s forecast for 27.9 million metric tons (MMT), below the five-year average of 28.6 MMT and about 3 percent lower than 2011/12. Early last summer, sales were more than 20 percent off the prior year’s pace, but more competitive prices and supply issues in other key wheat producing countries helped U.S. exports make up ground. As of May 16, USDA reported total 2012/13 accumulated exports and outstanding sales of 27.1 MMT, including higher year-over-year sales for three of the six wheat classes. To date, sales of hard red winter (HRW), the largest U.S. wheat class in terms of production and exports, are 2 percent greater than the prior year at 10.5 MMT but well below the five-year average of 12.4 MMT. As of May 16, sales to four of the top five 2011/12 HRW customers were lower in 2012/13, but increased sales to Brazil, Colombia and Egypt helped offset those reduced sales. Soft red winter (SRW) will see the largest year-over-year sales increase of all U.S. wheat classes. As of May 16, sales were up 21 percent to 5.36 MMT, well above the five-year average of 4.35 MMT and the highest since 2007/08. In December, tight supplies in the Black Sea pushed world wheat prices higher and U.S. SRW became the least expensive wheat in the world, prompting Egypt to turn to the United States. SRW sales to Egypt in the first half of the marketing year were just 73,300 MT. As of May 16, Egypt had purchased 1.07 MMT of SRW, 39 percent greater than total 2011/12 sales and the most since 2008/09. So far, SRW accounted for 64 percent of Egypt’s total U.S. wheat purchases in 2012/13. SRW sales to Mexico were also very strong for the second consecutive year at 1.11 MMT to date, down 13 percent from last year but 32 percent greater than the five-year average and the second highest on record. As of May 16, SRW sales to Ecuador have already set a new record at 134,000 MT, doubling 2011/12 sales and up significantly from the five-year average of 58,000 MT. The increased sales are due, in part, to changes at the Canadian Wheat Board, which historically provided Ecuador with special price arrangements. U.S. durum exports rebounded slightly in 2012/13, up 14 percent to 571,000 MT as of May 16. Lower planted acreage and serious production issues have hindered durum the last two years, pushing the price higher and limiting the exportable supply. Despite higher sales, 2012/13 exports will fall well below the five-year average of 812,000 MT. Higher sales to Algeria, Belgium, Turkey and Mexico helped offset lower sales to the European Union, including Italy, the largest U.S. durum customer. Exports fell for both hard red spring (HRS) and white wheat in 2012/13. High prices made HRS less competitive, leading to an 11 percent drop in sales to 6.02 MMT as of May 16. To date, sales are lower in four of the top five HRS markets than in 2011/12 and are 15 percent below the fiveyear average. While total 2012/13 white wheat sales of 4.64 MMT are currently 21 percent lower than last year, they are equal to the five-year average. White wheat sales soared to a record high in 2011/12 when low prices and feed use significantly increased sales to Korea and Japan, the top two white wheat markets. White wheat sales to Mexico returned to an average level in 2012/13 after a severe drought spurred record sales in 2011/12. Two trade policy changes helped improve commercial wheat sales in 2012/13. The U.S.-Colombia free trade agreement (FTA) was implemented May 15, 2012, permanently eliminating import duties on wheat just two weeks before the beginning of the marketing year. It helped the U.S. regain market share lost to Canada when its FTA with Colombia was implemented nine months earlier. Current year sales to Colombia increased 48 percent year-over-year to 672,000 MT as of May 16 but remain 6 percent below the five-year average. Due to a supply shortage in Merosur countries, Brazil temporarily eliminated its 10 percent import duty on up to 2.0 MMT of wheat from April 1 to July 31, 2013. As of May 16, sales to Brazil of 526,700 MT far surpass total 2011/12 sales of 112,000 MT and will likely increase when the final marketing year data is available. Outstanding sales to Brazil for the 2013/14 marketing year are already 112,000 MT.

LaSalle Ranch of Havre named winner of MT Environmental Stewardship Award
The Montana Stockgrowers Association (MSGA) announced today that the LaSalle Ranch of Havre has been selected winner of the 2013-2014 Montana Environmental Stewardship Award, sponsored by MSGA’s Research, Education and Endowment Foundation, funded by Montana Beef Producers with Checkoff Dollars. LaSalle Ranch is a cow/calf and yearling operation mostly located within the boundaries of the Rocky Boys Indian Reservation. The LaSalles are members of the Chippewa Cree Tribe and the first Native American winners of this award. Each year, MSGA honors a Montana ranch that exemplifies environmental stewardship and demonstrates a commitment toward improved sustainability within the beef industry. This award recognizes Montana ranchers who are at the forefront in conservation and stewardship and are willing to serve as examples for other ranchers. LaSalle Ranch was selected for this award by a committee that included two past national Environmental Stewardship Award winners from Montana. “The whole LaSalle family is very proud to have been selected for this award,” said Leon LaSalle, president of LaSalle Ranch. “We understand that if we take care of the land it will take care of us. Our ancestors lived in harmony with their environment and we try to do the same. This award means a lot to me personally, not for myself, but for my father who has spent a lifetime improving the environment— not only for us, but for numerous other farmers and ranchers throughout North Central Montana.” LaSalle Ranch is operated by the LaSalle family: Leon and his wife Shannon, his father Robert L. and mother Jenny, and brother Robert W. and his wife Susan are all involved in the operation. Leon and Robert W. represent the third generation to ranch in the area. Their grandfather, Frank Billy, was one of the first Chippewa Cree Tribal members to enter the livestock industry after World War II. LaSalle Ranch has partnered with the Montana Natural Resources Conservation Service, the Chippewa Cree Tribe’s Natural Resource Department, and the Montana Department of Natural Resources and Conservation to implement conservation practices and a planned grazing system to protect environmentally sensitive areas on the ranch. They have installed over seven miles of stock
water pipelines, 25 wildlife-friendly watering facilities, and 10 miles of cross fences. A major focus of the LaSalle family’s efforts has been Beaver Creek, which flows into Beaver Creek County Park, the largest county park in the U.S. This park is a very popular summer recreation area for Hill County and surrounding county residents who enjoy camping, swimming, fishing, and picnicking. The park is located on the downstream border of the LaSalle’s grazing allotment. The LaSalles have worked to keep cattle off the sensitive riparian areas of the creek by developing eight off-stream water developments, utilizing solar energy to pump livestock water to higher elevations to take grazing pressure off riparian areas and allow even grazing use of the pastures, and installing 3.5 miles of riparian area protection fences. These efforts have resulted in improved water quality in the headwaters of this watershed and a more pleasant environment for recreationalists. MSGA will work with the LaSalle Ranch to prepare its application for the regional and national award competition. Since 1992, MSGA has honored 20 state winners, nine of whom went on to win the regional award and two named national award winners. To learn more, visit www.mtbeef.org/ mesap

Reduce shrink to improve profitability and efficiency
By J.W. Schroeder, Dairy Specialist, NDSU Extension Service Feed shrinkage is caused by many factors, including delivery weight errors, wind, birds, rodents, tires, tracked feed, cattle tossing feed, silage bunker losses, feed refusals, bunk heating and spoilage, moisture losses, mixing errors, scale accuracy, push-up blades, comingling of ingredients, feed wasted by feeders and drives, feed bunk management, plastic management, moving/storing feed and water damage. You always are going to have some shrinkage. Of course, the goal should be to minimize it. For example, in a recent study by an Arizona dairy, the managers measured shrinkage during a 60-day period. They found losses of mill-run feed of more than 16 percent, dry distillers grain of more than 9 percent, commercial soybean meal of more than 9 percent, alfalfa hay of more than 7 percent and corn silage of more than 16 percent. The nutrition consultant for this dairy helped it reach a goal of only 5 percent shrinkage. The value of all feed lost at 5 percent was nearly $175,000 per year, based on 2012 feed prices, compared with the 12 percent, or nearly $420,000, of lost feed the previous year. That means the dairy saved $245,000 when it put the effort into reducing shrinkage. These losses occurred on a 1,000-cow dairy and included the cost of the feed for the milking herd, dry cows and heifers, but not the calves. The potential impact of feed efficiency on the economic performance of the dairy enterprise is undeniable. From the perspective of efficiency, if feed waste is reduced and production (such a milk yield or pounds gained) is maintained, then when waste is reduced, efficiency will improve. An improvement in feed efficiency for the milking herd can result in three possible scenarios: 1) an increase in milk yield with no change in feed intake, 2) a decrease in drymatter intake (DMI) with no change in milk yield or 3) a slight increase in milk yield with a slight decrease in feed intake. Regardless of your approach as a manager, watch for trends in the herd or on a farm through time. Ultimately, you are attempting to reduce costs and increase income. One simple way to improve feed efficiency is to employ good bunk management. Paying proper attention to eating behavior and managing the feed bunk accordingly can increase feed efficiency and decrease feed cost. Feeding behavior of group-housed dairy cows is influenced by management practices at the feed bunk and factors associated with the physical and social environment. The feeding pattern of group-housed dairy cows is largely influenced by the timing of fresh feed delivery. The delivery of fresh feed has a greater impact on stimulating cows to eat than does the return from milking. Delivering fresh feed more frequently improves access to fresh feed for all cows and reduces sorting of the total mixed ration. This potentially will reduce variation in diet quality consumed by cows, with benefits for milk production. Lowering feed shrinkage is an economic opportunity for nearly all dairies of any size. Shrinkage comes in many forms, and many factors result in feed waste. Feed shrink can represent from 5 to 15 percent of the total feed cost on the dairy, and wet, as well as the more expensive, ingredients represent the greatest concern for farm managers. The basics of feed bunk management are: Provide the right feed to the right cows at the right time in the right place at the right price. The same considerations apply to managing replacement heifers and dry cows, whether housed and fed in confinement or on pasture.

Dutch elm-resistant tree
Trader’s Dispatch, July 2013 — Page C41
HAY FOR SALE
By Ron Smith, Horticulturist, NDSU Extension Service Q: I have a Dutch elm-resistant tree in my yard. The tree has little, white fuzzy things on it. They have been on there the last few years, but it has been getting worse. There has been some leaf drop as well. The fuzzy things are sticky. Please let me know if you have any ideas what the problem is and how to get rid of it. A: The problem appears to be cottony cushion scale. The tree can be treated with a systemic insecticide by a professional arborist who will kill these sap-sucking pests and give the tree some protection into next year. The tree has a very heavy population of these pests, so something should be done about it between now and next spring before the tree starts to leaf out. If you cannot get anyone to do the task this summer or fall, another alternative is to have the tree sprayed with dormant oil next spring before new growth takes place. Along with the dormant oil, do a systemic insecticide injection or crown soak at the same time. For answers to general horticultural questions, go to http://www.ag.ndsu.edu/horticulture.

Forest Tent Caterpillars
By James Stordahl, Clearwater/Polk County Extension, Minnesota
T h e y ’ r e back…. Forest tent caterpillars are out in full force in many areas of northwest Minnesota. T h i s c a t e rpillar occurs throughout most of the United States and Cana d a w h er e v e r hardwood trees are found. It periodically infests aspen and many other tree species over large areas of northern Minnesota. The caterpillars are commonly -- but mistakenly -- called ‘armyworms’. Groups of these caterpillars can defoliate trees, potentially injuring them, but most often not. Forest tent caterpillar larvae emerge from egg masses in early to mid-May, about the same time aspen leaves begin to open. Caterpillars feed actively on aspen and other broadleaf trees for five to six weeks. Despite its name, the forest tent caterpillar does not make a true silken tent. However, the larvae do spin an inconspicuous silken mat where caterpillars congregate on the trunk and branches. In late June, older larvae become restless and move around trees and other vegetation to find food. Significant damage to nearby plants can occur at this time. Near the end of June, full-grown caterpillars wander from where they have been feeding to search for protected places to spin silky cocoons (to pupate). Full-grown caterpillars are about two inches long, mostly blue and black, with a row of white, footprint shaped markings on their backs, and many hairs along the edge of the body. Adult moths emerge from cocoons about two weeks later in mid-July. These tan moths are nocturnal and are attracted to lights at night. Adults live for about five days. During this time they deposit 100 to 350 eggs in gray cylindrical masses surrounding small twigs. The eggs overwinter and larvae hatch from them during the next spring. There is only one generation per year. In Minnesota, the number of forest tent caterpillar’s changes in relatively predictable cycles. At the beginning of this cycle, forest tent caterpillars can be difficult to find. Over a period of about ten (8-13) years, their populations start to increase until they reach tremendously large numbers. These outbreaks usually last for about three to four years in Minnesota. Natural controls, including cold or damp spring or early summer weather, starvation, and viral disease, can cause populations to crash quickly to very low numbers. Populations are also significantly reduced by wasps and flies that parasitize eggs, larvae, and pupae. The most conspicuous of these parasitic insects is a large gray fly, Sarcophaga aldrichi, which is often a nuisance to humans. This fly, native to Minnesota also increases numbers in response to forest tent caterpillar outbreaks. Forest tent caterpillars can defoliate a large number of broadleaf trees and plants. In Minnesota, quaking aspens are most frequently attacked. Other highly preferred tree species in Minnesota include balsam poplar, basswood, oak, ash, birch, alder, and fruit trees. When trees are defoliated, forest tent caterpillars may also damage other nearby plants. Damage has been found on vegetables, fruit trees and other small fruits,
and nursery crops. This caterpillar rarely feeds on red maple and conifers, such as pine and spruce. Trees that are fed upon by forest tent caterpillars are rarely killed by these insects because following complete defoliation, deciduous trees are able to produce another set of leaves during the same season. The main impact of forest tent caterpillar feeding on deciduous trees is a reduction in the rate of growth. Vigorously growing trees can tolerate up to two or even three consecutive years of heavy defoliation without suffering serious damage or mortality. If a prolonged defoliation cycle occurs, (four or more years), moderate to heavily defoliated trees may experience a reduction in growth, suffer branch dieback and could eventually be killed. A stressed tree can be injured or even killed in a much shorter time period than an unstressed tree. In the home landscape, simple physical procedures (mechanical control) by the homeowner can be carried out to help manage the forest tent caterpillar. One management procedure is to remove and destroy overwintering egg masses from branches of small trees before eggs start to hatch in the spring. Also, caterpillars and cocoons can be brushed off houses, picnic tables, or decks with a stiff broom or brush or knocked down with a spray of water. Be careful not to crush too many caterpillars; they can smear and leave marks on some paints. Another management tool available to the homeowner involves chemical treatment with insecticides. Insecticides should be sprayed when caterpillars are small and easy to manage. Larger larvae are more difficult to kill and can continue to heavily defoliate trees before some insecticides take effect. An effective larval insecticide is Bacillus thuringiensis var. kurstaki (also referred to as Bt), a microbial insecticide approved for organic production. Bt offers effective control and conserves beneficial insects. Other insecticides available to homeowners that conserve beneficial insects are insecticidal soap, spinosad (Conserve), and azadirachtin (Azatin). More toxic insecticides are available to homeowners but tend to be more dangerous to handle and have the disadvantage of killing non-target beneficial insects which may lead to further problems later. The most practical solution is patience with possible mechanical removal of cocoons around your home. One common exception may be the newly planted yard tree that is heavily infested. Older yard trees will regrow new leaves once the caterpillars pupate in the next few weeks, but young, newly planted trees may need more protection.

Biofortify rice for improved nutritional value
By Jan Suszkiw, Agricultural Research Service A team of U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and collaborating scientists is closing in on genes in rice that regulate the uptake and storage of important minerals, a pursuit that could bolster the nutritional value of this cereal grain crop as a staple food of roughly half the world’s population. According to Shannon Pinson, a team member with USDA’s Agricultural Research Service (ARS), the ultimate goal is to conventionally breed new rice varieties whose grains boast exceptionally high concentrations of one or more of 14 essential minerals, including zinc, iron and calcium. ARS is USDA’s principal intramural scientific research agency, and the research supports the USDA priority of promoting international food security. Rice is a popular mainstay because it’s a rich source of energy, free of gluten, easy to digest, low in fat and packed with vitamins, minerals and other nutrients. However, some key elements like iron are lost when the bran on unmilled brown rice is stripped off to produce white rice, notes Pinson, a plant geneticist at the ARS Dale Bumpers National Rice Research Center in Stuttgart, Arkansas. In developing countries, re-fortifying rice after milling may not be a viable option. Additionally, the soils in which the crop is grown may be lacking in certain essential minerals, or the minerals are unavailable for uptake by the plant’s roots. To address these issues, the ARS-university team focused attention on three different population groups of rice—with the most diversity represented by 1,643 accessions collected from 114 countries. In this diverse group, they encountered rice accessions whose grains contained up to nine times the amount of minerals normally observed in standard U.S. varieties. The team also is developing molecular marker data for use in rapidly identifying high-mineral rice plants without growing them to maturity during breeding operations. The team has so far identified 127 gene locations in 40 different chromosome regions that correlate to high concentrations of certain minerals and other grain features.

UNL program announces scholarship recipients
By University of Nebraska-Lincoln IANR The Engler Agribusiness Entrepreneurship Program at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln (UNL) has awarded 15 students with scholarships; six were recognized as Engler Scholars and thus will receive renewable awards while nine were awarded one-time scholarships. The Paul F. and Virginia J. Engler Foundation founded the Engler Agribusiness Entrepreneurship program in 2010 with a gift of $20 million over 10 years. The program aims Phone (406) 781-1231, Brady, MT to identify students with entrepreneurial drive and mentor their ability to build and run businesses through innovative curriculum and professional development opportunities. “The Engler program provides student support in the way of scholarships, study abroad assistance, internship and entrepreneurial development, and networking with innovators, leaders and entrepreneurs through a variety of programs including the Engler Lectures Series,” said Tom Field, the Paul Engler Chair of Agribusiness Entrepreneurship. “The ultimate goal of the Engler program is to create employers and community builders.” These students won up to four-year renewable scholarships of $10,000: – Erich Vogel is a freshman biochemistry major from Hastings.

UNL team in international food insecurity competition
By University of Nebraska-Lincoln IANR A team of University of Nebraska-Lincoln (UNL) students will take its idea for helping solve global food insecurity to an international competition in Germany this fall. At stake is a $10,000 grant. The UNL team already has received $1,000 of seed money, thanks to being one of five finalists chosen from over 100 competitors from around the world. The goal is to come up with solutions to the globe’s food insecurity problem, said Justin Van Wart, a post-doctoral student in agronomy. The Thought for Food contest is sponsored by Syngenta and Sandbox. In addition to Van Wart, members of the team are: Chris Proctor, a doctoral student in agronomy; Tobi Louw, a doctoral student in chemical engineering; Zach Christensen, undergraduate student in biochemistry; and adviser Martha Mamo, soil scientist in agronomy. The UNL team calls itself CrOpportunity. Members set out to find an idea “that would catch on at the grass roots and spread and that wouldn’t cost a lot of money,” Van Wart said. They came up with the notion of giving consumers an option at participating restaurants of reducing their meal to healthier portions while still paying full price, with the difference in cost going to an organization that helps fight world hunger. Van Wart said this concept simultaneously addresses two food issues: Many Americans eat too much while people in developing countries often don’t have enough food. He and his team believe many consumers, if provided some simple facts about this dichotomy, would choose this option. Consumers would have the option to go to their website to pick the organization they want to donate to. Team member Zach Christiansen already has helped develop a Smartphone app, PickIt, which does something similar. Van Wart said the team envisions products or businesses being labeled as “food-secured,” much as some products now get a “fair trade” label. The international competition is in Germany in September.

4-H hero, wins regional, national volunteer award
By K-State Research and Extension News Twelve-year-old Auburn 4-H club member, Tamara McConnell, has a hero. Her hero isn’t Superman or Captain America, and she doesn’t have super strength or laser vision. Her hero, Lisa Pfannenstiel-Garrison, of Auburn, Kansas, has the superpower of mentorship. “Our school had a hero day last year and I knew exactly who I would dress up as,” said Tamara. “Lisa has been there to help me with whatever I needed help with. She is my hero because of everything that she has done for me and 4-H.” Pfannenstiel-Garrison was named the 2013 North Central Region 4-H Salute to Excellence Volunteer of the Year. In addition, Pfannenstiel-Garrison also was named the National 4-H Salute to Excellence Volunteer of the Year award, announced recently during National Volunteer Week As the Auburn 4-H Club leader, Pfannenstiel-Garrison encourages current and new members in everything they do. She believes in empowering youth to run their own programs and inspires the members to find their own strengths. She guides the members and gives them the responsibility of being the leaders in the club. One of the most powerful changes she made as a club leader was changing the way the club designed the purple seal goals. Instead of the club leaders completing all of the paperwork for the club seal, she designed a training session for club officers to create the purple seal goals for the next year. Pfannenstiel-Garrison also increased the number of record books completed by club members. She created a new simplified project record for noncompetitive youth record books and received permission from the 4-H Program Development Committee (PDC) to implement it as a trial in the Auburn 4-H Club. After using the forms for two years, the club’s record book completion rate has increased and youth are finding them easier to complete on their own. “Lisa saw the need for positive leadership and she did not shy away from the responsibility,” said Michele Henry, a former co-leader for the Auburn 4-H Club. “She holds a job that demands a lot of her time and energy, yet she amazes me by continuing to give to her community.” In addition to being club leader of one of the largest clubs in her county, she also serves many other 4-H roles in her club, county and state. She is a club and county project leader for the photography project. Pfannenstiel-Garrison coaches the Horticulture Countywide Judging Team and volunteers as her club’s horticulture project leader. She also served as President of the Shawnee County Extension Board and was an active member on the 4-H PDC, Extension Educational Foundation Board and Shawnee County Events Council. Pfannenstiel-Garrison facilitated 4-H PDC’s five-year strategic plan, where youth and adults created goals with emphasis on diversity, science, and growing the 4-H program. Lisa Pfannenstiel-Garrison was recognized by Kansas 4-H at the Emerald Circle banquet on May 30. For being a regional winner, she received a plaque and $200. “I will donate the money to the Shawnee County Extensions Education Foundation”, said Pfannenstiel-Garrison. “The donation will be reserved for scholarships for 4-Hers to fund events and activities that nurture leadership and support 4-Hers future education.” She will receive $1,000 for the national award. The award will be presented at the National Galaxy Conference, with approximately 2,000 Extension educators in attendance, set for September 16-20, 2013 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. ##### gelid (JELL-uhd), adjective.

Should I wrap or wait?
By James Stordahl, Clearwater/Polk County Extension Service, Minnesota The drought seems to be over. The dry soils have been replenished with welcome spring rains. The days will warm and forage harvest will begin soon. If the current rainy pattern persists into hay harvest, the basic choices are to wrap the hay or wait for dry weather. Chopping hay is another option, but not available to most livestock producers. Rain on cut hay can significantly reduce yield and quality. Depending on amount and duration, rain after cutting can reduce yield – and forage quality -- by up to 40 percent. The decline will likely be greatest if the rain falls on dry hay, considerably less if rain occurs on freshly cut hay. Waiting for better weather also reduces quality, but increases yield. Alfalfa yield increases about 100 lbs per acre per day if growing conditions are “average”, except for the latest cuttings. The quality of first cutting changes at the fastest rate while later cuttings change in fiber and digestibility at a slower rate. The first cutting decreases about 5 pts RFV per day, second cutting decreases 2 to 3 points per day and third and fourth cutting during the growing season decline 1 to 2 points per day. The late fall growth may change little in forage quality during mid to late September and early October. Relative Forage Quality (RFQ) will change about the same as RFV on first cutting and then decline about 4 points per day on 2nd, 3rd and 4th cuttings during the growing season. To deal with a potential loss in forage yield or quality, livestock producers have adopted large bale silage as a method of harvesting their hay crop. Putting up silage bales -- or “baleage” as many producers call it -- that will store longer with less dry matter loss is one key to efficient harvest. Baleage is an alternative to storing dry hay and may be exceedingly helpful during rainy periods of the haying season. Silage bales are easy to transport short distances and make a flexible addition into most feeding programs. Feeding baleage is similar to feeding dry hay, but will have less storage waste. But, baleage may not be as feasible if long distance transportation is needed to market the hay. Since baleage can be as much as half water, transportation costs often become excessive. The ideal moisture content for baleage is between 40%55%. This will create a condition for proper fermentation and longer-term storage when the bales are wrapped. Dry matter losses will be lower when harvesting at these moisture levels. However, many producers end up in a moisture range between 20%-35% known as “tough hay”. Bales in this lower moisture range need to be wrapped to avoid spoilage, but may not ferment as readily. Research in Wisconsin has found that at least 6mil, preferably 8mil, of plastic wrap cover the bale. This can be accomplished by wrapping 6 times with 1ml plastic or 4 times with 1.5 mil plastic. With 4mils of plastic, oxygen was found leaking through the plastic to support continued microbial growth and spoilage. Total plastic thickness, not the number of wraps appears to be the most important factor to resist oxygen from reaching the feed. Line wrappers provide an opportunity to reduce plastic costs and wrapping time when compared to individually wrapped bales. For optimum preservation, bales should be wrapped within 24 hours using 6-8mil thick plastic. In a Wisconsin study, bales were wrapped at 12-hour intervals up to 96 hours after baling. Bales left unwrapped or wrapping delayed more than 48 hours exceeded internal temperatures of 130 degrees. These bales tended to have lower forage quality and greater mold throughout the bales. An important factor to remember is to make bales the size and weight for the wrapper and your loader. Most wrappers have an optimum length for bales of 4 to 6.5 feet. If moisture in bales is quite high, these bales can be quite heavy, so be sure your loader can handle the extra weight. Heavier bales have more problems with plastic tears and holes while wrapping, stacking, and in storage. With continuous wrapping (sausage style), this may be less of a concern. When you handle large individually wrapped bales, use a bale grabber instead of a spear unless you plan to feed immediately. Silage bales should be placed on a smooth surface free of sharp objects or crop stubble. Mowing a grassy, well-drained area is a great place to store silage bales. Be sure the area is away from fence lines and other obstructions so removal is not hampered. Harvesting high quality forage can be challenging during periods of rainy weather, but wrapping bales “wet” for bale silage offers producers one more arrow is the quiver to achieve the this goal.

Does your pour-on dewormer work? continued from page c52
What is resistance? Resistance can be defined as the ability of a parasite to withstand the normal effects of a drug when that drug was previously known to be effective. This change occurs at the level of the gene, either as a mutation, recombination, or production of a new gene sequence that allows the parasite to survive and pass this trait on to its offspring. The extraordinary effectiveness of the macrocyclic lactones in cattle has led to their intensive and sometimes exclusive use over many years and has resulted in resistance issues. In the field, the detection of resistance is usually based on the FECRT. However, this test does have limitations; for example, an incorrect dose of dewormer may be administered that slows egg production by female worms but does not actually kill the worms. A better test (the “Gold Standard”) is the controlled efficacy test in which a number of animals are dewormed then the animals are killed 1-2 weeks later. The worms are removed from the abomasum and intestines, identified and counted. This test is rarely used due to the high cost of sacrificing animals and the labor-intensive process of harvesting the parasites. However, in the trials that have been performed, the resistant parasites that typically survive anthelmintic treatment include Haemonchus placei and Haemonchus contortus in the abomasum and Cooperia punctata in the small intestine. One drug family that is consistently effective against Cooperia species is the benzamidazoles or “white wormers” (Safeguard, Valbazen, and Synanthic) that are administered as a drench (by mouth). When a benzamidazole (Safe-Guard®/Panacur®) was used in combination with a macrocyclic lactone in the Intervet nationwide trial, the efficacy was excellent (99-100%) as evidenced in the table. Remember there are basically two fundamental goals of effective parasite control in cattle. The first is protection of the host from disease with concurrent enhancement of performance. The second goal is to reduce contamination of the pasture by eliminating worm-egg shedding. These goals are accomplished by killing all stages of the roundworms including adults and larvae (L4, inhibited L4, and infective L3 stages) found inside the cattle. The timing of the deworming is very important; considerations include the season of the year, type of grazing programs practiced, and the overall management goals of the operation. Always work with your veterinarian to determine what will work best for your unique situation. Treat cattle at the recommended rate-this includes accurate animal weight, correct drug volume, and careful delivery
of the product. Basic recommendations for when to treat beef cattle and what to use for nematode or roundworm infections in Kentucky are as follows: 1. Spring treatment of cows – Deworming in the spring, especially the cows that calve in the spring, significantly reduces pasture contamination and risk for parasitic problems in calves throughout the summer. Use of a macrocyclic lactone is encouraged because of the residual activity needed in the spring of the year when larvae populations are flourishing in the pastures. 2. Summer treatment of the herd – Deworming in late June/early July is very effective because most of the worms are inside the cattle instead of on the pasture. Larvae do not survive hot, dry weather so many infective parasites in the environment die in the midsummer heat in Kentucky. Properly treating cattle in the summer will effectively remove the Ostertagia larvae that hibernate in the stomach and damage the abomasal glands. Calves need deworming as they transition from an all-milk diet to grazing grass and will typically benefit from deworming after they reach 6-8 weeks of age. Use of a macrocyclic lactone is encouraged for the persistent activity and fly control they provide. 3. Fall deworming is not exceptionally important in spring calving adult cattle but is a necessity for all others. Fall calving cows should be dewormed as well as all cattle on heavily infected pastures due to overcrowding or extended periods of moist, cool fall weather. Deworming of young stock (weaned calves, replacement females, and yearling bulls) is exceptionally important in the fall as animals less than 2 years old are much more susceptible to the deleterious effects of parasitism. In the fall, use of a benzamidazole or “white wormer” drench (Valbazen, Synanthic, or Safeguard) in conjunction with a pour-on for insect control is encouraged. The white wormers are exceptionally effective against the hardto-kill small intestinal worm Cooperia, and a long duration of action is not critical in the winter. Although the extent of resistance in the US remains unknown, it is essential to recognize that anthelmintic resistance does exist in the US, and that care must be taken in using parasite control programs that may favor continued selection for and expansion of resistance to the drugs. By overuse of one type of drug, one can very easily select for cattle parasites that are not going to respond at the labeled therapeutic dose. Work with your veterinarian to explore the options available in order to keep dewormers working effectively as long as possible.

Enjoy flowers in the evening
By Annette Meyer Heisdorffer, PhD, Daviess County Extension Agent for Horticulture Even at dusk, I love to enjoy the flowers on my deck during the spring and summer. I catch myself gazing at them and finding a moment of peace after a busy day. Since white reflects light, flowering plants with white flowers are great to use in pots where they can be viewed in the evening. Some of my favorite white flowering plants are listed below. A vine that I enjoy on a trellis near the garage door is moon vine (Ipomoea alba). White trumpet-like flowers open 5 to 6 inches wide and are fragrant. The unique characteristic of moon vine is that the blossoms open in the late afternoon. Flowers are open for only one night, but the vine is always covered with them. The heart-shaped, green leaves are 4 to 6 inches long. This tender, tropical perennial is an annual in our zone since it is killed by freezing temperatures. The plant prefers full sun and well-drained soil. Periwinkle or vinca (Catharanthus roseus) is an annual available with a white flower color. In addition, you can find periwinkle with white petals and an eye color. The color of the eye can be used to coordinate it with other flowers. The flower size may reach 2 inches, depending on the cultivar. Plant height ranges from 12 to 14 inches. This plant performs well in a hot, dry location in full sun and prefers a well-drained soil. Fan flower (Scaevola hybrid) is what I consider a really tough plant that thrives in a hot, humid climate and can withstand wind. The common flower color is violet, but it is also available in white. The fan-shaped flower blooms throughout the summer. The unique bloom looks very nice in hanging baskets or window boxes. The plant has a trailing habit. A variety of petunias (Petunia) are available with different characteristics. It is an annual. Some cultivars perform better in pots and others in the ground. In general, they need full sun and well-drained soil. The white flowers of the different cultivars may range from 2 to 4 inches in diameter. The height of the plant, depending on the petunia, ranges from 7 to 20 inches. The trailing types make great plants for hanging baskets and containers. Summer snapdragon (Angelonia angustifolia) prefers to grow in full sun and well-drained soil. It tolerates the heat of summer. Cultivars are available with white flowers. The 1-inch flowers are produced on spikes. The plant height ranges from 12 to 24 inches tall depending on the cultivar. The white flowers of impatiens (Impatiens wallerana) brighten shady locations. This annual is beautiful in containers such as hanging baskets, pots, and window boxes which are totally shaded by the eaves of a porch or overhangs on the house. Impatiens also perform well in an area that receives a couple hours of morning sun. The impatiens plant covers itself with flowers 1.5 to 2.5 inches across throughout the season. Even combinations of white flower petals and a center with a color are available. Impatiens are offered with double flowers in white on compact plants. The height of impatiens ranges from 9 to 18 inches tall, depending on the cultivar. Wax or fibrous-rooted begonia (Begonia x semperflorenscultorum) is a popular annual used in shady locations. The flowers of wax begonia range in size from 0.75 to 2 inches across. The plant height ranges from 8 to 12 inches. The foliage color of the wax begonia is available in bronze or green. White flowers are available in both leaf colors. The green-leaved begonias prefer shade and will tolerate a couple hours of morning sun. The bronze-leaved begonias will handle shade, partial shade, and full sun conditions. The bronze foliage makes wax begonia a versatile plant. Bacopa ‘Giant Snowflake’ (Sutera cordata) is a nice trailing annual covered in white flowers for pots or hanging baskets. It grows in partial shade. It will grow in full sun if it is kept watered. The plant looks like it is covered with white flowers all summer. The plants of Calibrachoa are covered with what seems like a million little petunia-like flowers that may reach over 1 inch wide. This plant is available in a wide range of colors including white. Plant height may reach 6 to 10 inches tall depending on the cultivar. Calibrachoa plants work well as a filler in hanging baskets and pots with flowers all season long. It prefers full sun. Tall phlox ‘David’ (Phlox paniculata) is a perennial plant with fragrant, white flower panicles 6 to 9 inches long and 6 to 8 inches wide. The individual florets are 1 inch across. ‘David’ blooms in the summer and is fragrant. The plant grows 36 to 40 inches tall. This garden classic is mildew resistant, but needs good air circulation and plenty of moisture. When grown in average soil, this phlox does not need to be staked. A location with full sun and well-drained soil is best. For more information contact the Daviess County Cooperative Extension Service (270) 685-8480.

The 2170XD model is built tough with heavy-duty tension cylinders and plunger arms, a heavier fly wheel, and higher-capacity gearbox and driveline to provide the reliable preformance producers have come to expect from Hesston.
