Reminder to cover your crops with state hail insurance Severe weather is no stranger to Montana farmers. The recent storms are a reminder of the importance of having adequate coverage for your crops each season. The Montana State Hail Insurance program began its operations earlier this spring and the staff is prepared to accept new policies through August 15, 2016. Staff is available 8 am-5 pm Monday through Friday to accept policies, file claims, and to answer any questions producers might have regarding coverage options.

The maximum coverage rate for dry land is $75 per acre and $114 per acre for irrigated land. Rates vary by county depending on the hail loss history of the area. A detailed list of rates by county and crop can be found on the program’s website.

“The Montana State Hail Insurance program was created at the request of farmers in 1917 to provide hail insurance coverage on any crop grown in Montana. We offer competitive insurance coverage and a proven track record of helping farmers

manage hail risk. Many farmers carry both state and private hail insurance to ensure they have adequate hail loss protection,” said Walt Anseth, Program Supervisor. The program is directed by a five-member board consisting of three producers, the state agriculture director, and the state insurance commissioner.

State hail insurance forms are available online at http://agr.mt.gov/agr/Producer/ HailInsurance/ or by calling the office.

Completed forms can be mailed, faxed or e-mailed to the department using the contact information below, or used as a reference when you contact the program by phone.

Managing a horse with laminitis on grass pastures

By Ann M. Swinker, PennState Extension Horse Specialist Horses prone to laminitis need management when grazing on grass pastures, especially in the springtime and early summer, when grasses grow quickly and lush.

In the Northeastern US, all of the cool season grasses will accumulate fructans and sugars under certain environmental conditions.

• The highest sugar accumulations are after cold less than 32 degrees F overnight followed by bright sunshine, just after cutting, or during droughts. Timothy and Orchard grass have been reported to accumulate less than ryegrass.

• As long as the temperature overnight is above freezing, the lowest content of sugars is between 6 AM - 10 AM. • Graze horses during the active growing seasons (spring and early summer). Remember, that the late summer grass as brown grasses can be very high in sugars.

• Pastures are healthiest for horses (lowest in sugars) during the active growing season when plants are green and not stressed (not burned out).

Implement a good rotational grazing system on your farm to avoid overgrazing. The greatest amount of sugar in a grass plant is in the bottom three inches, so rotate pastures before they are grazed below three inches. Shady pastures and cloudy days will result in lower carbohydrates and sugar levels in grasses. Or move high-risk horses to shady pastures.

Restricting access to only the early morning hours during the summer and keeping at-risk horses off pasture or keeping off a day or two after mowing, if there is a drought or after an overnight freeze should help reduce the risks.

Pasture Management Workshop CONTINUED FROM FRONT PAGE

Topics covered will include: species selection for dryland and irrigated pastures, defoliation responses of plants, pasture establishment and interseeding, weed management, principles of grazing management and prevention of overgrazing, as well as how to monitor pasture performance. This workshop will focus on introduced pasture forage species, versus native range pastures, as there are major differences in management of both types of pasture forages.

Additionally, Dr. Megan Van Emon, Extension Beef Specialist and Assistant Professor in Miles City, will be speaking on supplementing animals while on pasture, and how differences in pasture composition and performance may impact supplementation strategies. ##### The easiest way to clean a paint tray after you’re done rolling on paint in a room is to never get it dirty in the first place!

How many times have you been dismayed in August to find that the same pastures turned into weeds, seemingly “overnight”? Knowing the likes and growth patterns of the species of different grasses and legumes can help you manage your pasture from Spring to Fall and avoid deteriorating fields.

Remember that the mainstay of most pastures is cool season grasses such as Kentucky Bluegrass, perennial ryegrass, orchardgrass, brome, and timothy. These grasses prefer temperatures between 65 and 80 degrees and are very productive in spring and fall. When temperatures increase, cool season grasses slow down their production and become dormant. If a pasture manager is not watching closely and allows animals to continue to graze plants to ground level during hot, dry conditions, the grass can be eliminated from the pasture.

Rotating pastures will allow grasses to recover and will keep pastures productive. Tall grasses can be grazed to maintain a height of 4-5 inches; short grasses should be maintained at 2 to 3 inches. If grass is grazed closer than Motorcycles, Boats & RVs • Autos, Trucks, Trailers & Machinery the minimum level, the animals should be removed from • Guns • Coins, Gold, Silver • Artwork • Taxidermy • Antique Furniture the pasture and rotated to another pasture.

Environmental Education Program On May 10, 2016 the Wibaux Conservation District hosted the Environmental Education Program. This program involved 34 kids from grades 4-6 from the Wibaux Elementary School. The weather was not cooperating so well, but we did not let that stop us from learning and doing great things. We had 5 stations: Johnna Blankenship- talked about noxious weeds and proper grazing, Robert Mitchell about cultural resources and the atlatl and gave the students the opportunity to throw an atlatl, also Sunshine Apiary from Columbus, MT talked about these amazing pollinators and had an active hive to show the students all about the bee life cycle, Barb Maus- Wibaux County Health Nurse talked about first aid

and each student made their own first-aid kit to take home. Also, Katrina Johnson was the lead in soil painting station where the kids learned about the soil profile, what makes up soil, and what makes the soil a dark color. They really loved painting using only soil paint for the colors on their pictures. The students also saw the slake test and the mini-rainfall simulator which both were a very effective educational tool, sharing the secrets of soil health management systems- minimize disturbance, keep it covered, diversity, living roots as long as possible. Then we finished with an intense game of Jeopardy!

Many thanks to the teachers, school and all our presenters that did an amazing JOB!

Cyanobacteria can be toxic to livestock, wildlife, humans

By NDSU Extension Service Cyanobacteria, also known as blue-green algae, can produce toxins that are harmful to livestock, wildlife and people.

Blue-green algae often occurs in stagnant ponds or dugouts with elevated nutrient levels, forming large colonies that appear as scum on or just below the water surface, according to Carl Dahlen, North Dakota State University Extension Service beef cattle specialist. Live cyanobacteria are green and turn blue after they die and dry on the water surface or shoreline.

Although cyanobacteria typically are a concern beginning in mid-July, an algae bloom in Walsh County recently tested positive for toxic cyanobacteria production, says Brad Brummond, agriculture and natural resources Extension agent in Walsh County.

Blue-green algae’s toxicity depends on the species drinking the water, and the concentration and the amount of water ingested.

Cyanobacteria produce neuro and liver toxins, NDSU Extension veterinarian and livestock stewardship specialist Gerald Stokka says. Signs of neurotoxin poisoning usually appear within 20 minutes of ingestion.

In animals, symptoms include weakness, staggering, difficulty in breathing, convulsions and, ultimately, death.

Animals affected by liver toxins may exhibit weakness, palecolored mucous membranes, mental derangement, bloody diarrhea and, ultimately, death. Typically, livestock are found dead before producers see symptoms.

Miranda Meehan, NDSU Extension livestock environmental stewardship specialist, recommends that if producers suspect cyanobacterial poisoning caused the death of livestock, they should check the edges of ponds for dead wildlife. Dead wildlife is an indication that cyanobacteria are in the water.

In addition, producers should collect a water sample from the suspected water source and submit it to the NDSU Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory or a commercial laboratory.

For information on how to submit samples, contact the lab at 701-231-8307 or visit its website at http://www.vdl.ndsu.edu.

Here are some ways producers can prevent cyanobacterial poisoning of livestock: • Reduce the nutrient levels entering the water source by implementing a nutrient management plan or establishing buffer strips with perennial plant species.

• Create a designated drinking area where the risk of cyanobacteria is minimal.

• Fence off the pond and pump water from the pond to a water tank.

• Use or provide other water sources following periods of hot, dry weather.

• Add copper sulfate to the water if the water source has a history of algae blooms. Apply 2 pounds of copper sulfate per acre-foot of water, which is equal to a rate of 8 pounds per 1 million gallons.

“With this early finding of blue-green algae, be sure to monitor livestock water sources throughout the summer and take immediate action to prevent cyanobacterial poisoning of livestock,” Dahlen says.

Reminder, stop at AIS inspection stations

By Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks As the summer recreation season gets underway, water enthusiasts around the state need to remember to do their part in keeping Montana’s waters free from aquatic invasive species.

One simple way to do this is to make sure and stop at AIS inspection stations if you have a watercraft. It’s not only a good idea, it’s the law.

Remember to clean your watercraft, drain it of all water and make sure it’s dry – Clean, Drain and Dry. Montana statute requires all people with watercraft to stop at AIS inspection stations or face a ticket.

“We spent last year really trying to educate boaters. This year we’re going to make sure and enforce the law,” said Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks enforcement chief, Tom Flowers.

AIS is an important focus for FWP and its many partners.

Montana is currently free of many of the AIS that have plagued other states causing damage to waterways and fisheries. The primary concern for Montana are zebra and quagga mussels, which once established, can permanently alter the ecosystem in a water body, damaging the fishery, recreational and municipal infrastructure and costing millions of dollars in expensive remediation and control.

In Montana, all boaters must stop when they pass an open AIS inspection state. This applies to motorized and non-motorized boaters. People with rafts, drift boats, paddle boards, kayaks, one-man float tubes and any other type of watercraft, must stop. If you’re not sure if you’re required to stop, the safest thing to do is stop and inquire at the inspection station. It’s quick and vital to keeping Montana’s waters clean of AIS. Montana FWP’s inspection stations opened up on May 19. The agency operates 17 stations around the state through Labor Day weekend. When boaters stop at a check station they’ll be asked questions about where they’ve been with their boats while an inspector looks over their boats.

More than 3,000 boats have stopped at inspection stations in the last two weeks.

Growth Through Agriculture application deadline

The Agriculture Development Council and the Montana Department of Agriculture have announced a change to the Growth Through Agriculture application deadline schedule for the upcoming fiscal year. The Growth Through Agriculture (GTA) Program normally supports two annual rounds of matching-fund opportunities for Montana food and agriculture companies engaging in value-added agriculture products and job creation projects.

This year there will only be one funding deadline for the GTA program: Thursday, September 15, 2016. In order to maximize the amount of funding available to agricultural companies, and in line with the directives of the Main Street Montana Project, the Council and the Department have determined that hosting only one funding deadline will aid in cutting program costs associated with additional meetings, application review procedures, and staff time.

“Agriculture is Montana’s #1 industry, with over $5 Billion in production value in 2014. Montana is also consistently ranked #1 in entrepreneurship and small business ownership,” says Agriculture Development Council Chair Amy Kellogg. “Montana’s aptitude for both agriculture and innovation makes the Growth Through Agriculture program a perfect fit for Montana food entrepreneurs looking to diversify and grow their agricultural businesses.”

Examples of cutting edge projects funded by the GTA program include the Homestead Organics and Living River Farms poultry processing facility in Hamilton and the Crooked Yard Hops farm in Bozeman. The poultry processing facility will increase producer capacity to provide state inspected poultry to serve schools, restaurants, and hospitals across the state; the hops farm is capitalizing on Montana’s ideal climate and soil conditions to produce Montana hops and hop products for the booming microbrew industry in Montana, as well as nationwide.

The application deadline for all requests for Growth Through Agriculture funding will be September 15, 2016. Further program information and application forms are available on the program website at www. gta.mt.gov. Companies interested in applying for this funding are encouraged to work with the Food and Agriculture Development Centers and Small Business Development Centers across this state to prepare their GTA funding applications.

The Montana Department of Agriculture’s mission is to protect producers and consumers, and to enhance and develop agriculture and allied industries. For more information on the Montana Department of Agriculture, visit www.agr.mt.gov.

Managing Irrigation Water for Different Soil Types in the Same Field

By R. Troy Peters, Extension Specialist and Joan Davenport, Soil Scientist, WSU Prosser Irrigated Agriculture Research & Extension Center Some growers manage soils with very different textures (sand to silt to clay) and/ or different depths (shallow to deep), all within the same field. These types of highly vari-able soils make irrigation water management difficult. This publication provides some practical suggestions for irriga-tion managers who maintain fields with highly variable soils.

The size of the bucket, or the total water-holding capacity in the root zone, equals the available waterhold-ing capacity of the soil multiplied by the root zone depth (AW × Rz). If the soil Figure 3. Starting with a full profile over the same reservoir is completely full, the soil is at given period, the sandy soil is water depleted but the field capacity. If more water is added to the silt soil still has plenty of water. Refilling both soils to soil than the soil can hold, water will leach field capacity will require the same amount of water.

However, applying more water to the sandy soil will out past the bottom of the root zone and will result in water loss and consequently nutrient loss be lost to deep percolation (represented in to deep percolation. this analogy by overflow). If the plants can no longer pull water from the soil (wilting zone means that the bucket or reservoir is point), then our meta-phorical bucket is smaller and will hold less water, so it does empty. not need more water. What it needs is to be filled more often but with smaller amounts of water (Figure 3).

Multiple Soil Types in the Same Field If a field with many soil types is managed based on the average soil type, plants in sandy areas will be water stressed for a significant portion of the season since they will run out of water much sooner than other soil

Figure 1. Soil can be thought of as a reservoir, or bucket, for storing water and nutrients. Water is removed through evaporation and plant transpiration (known as evapotranspiration or ET), or through deep percolation. Water is added to the bucket through irrigation or precipitation. Field capacity and wilting point are represented by a full and empty bucket, respectively.

How Big is Your Bucket?

In Figure 2, various soils and depths are represented by different bucket sizes. Deep silts will have a comparatively large bucket (or reservoir) and can store a larger amount of water and nutrients. Consequently, in deep silt soils, large amounts of irrigation water can be applied at infre-quent intervals without causing plant water stress.

How-ever, sandier or shallower root zones have a much smaller bucket or reservoir, so they cannot store as much water and consequently will run out of water much more quickly than other soils. Predictably, these areas will be the first to show water stress, and they will experience stress to a greater degree than other areas of the field.

If the entire field is managed based on the needs of the soil with the lowest water-holding capacity, the other areas of the field will receive enough water as well.

types. However, if the entire field is managed for optimal produc-tion in the sandy or shallow soil areas, then crops planted in all of the other soil types will receive the water they need.

Therefore, the best recommendation is to manage the entire field based on the needs of the areas of the field with the lowest waterholding capacity and doing this by tailoring the timing and amounts of irrigation water so that these areas do not lose water to deep percolation or experi-ence water stress. It is in the location of these sandier or shallower soil areas that the soil moisture sensors should be placed and soil water monitoring should be done. Drip and pivot irrigation systems are better able to irrigate in smaller amounts with more frequency as compared to surface (fur-row), hand-line, or wheel-line irrigation systems. For this reason, fields converted to center pivot or drip irrigation systems often see increased crop uniformity and overall yields.

Release of natural weapons, parasitoids to manage wheat midge continues

By Dan Picard, WTARC Special Projects Coordinator The wheat midge (formally called the other parasitoid species should survive and orange wheat blossom midge) can cause multiply in Montana and provide additional significant damage to spring wheat and is help in managing the wheat midge. widely distributed throughout Montana.

For more information on hold part of the solution for controlling the the biological control program or wheat wheat midge. midge contact any of the team members A small parasitic wasp, Macroglenes penat WTARC (406-278-7707) or NWARC etrans, attacks the wheat midge, helping to (406-755-4303). regulate populations. This parasitoid is credited with controlling about 25 to 40 percent of the midge population in parts of Canada and North Dakota. In some instances, parasitism rates of greater than 75 percent have been documented.

Efforts to introduce the parasitic wasp into Montana are on-going. This effort is a continuation of work that began in 2008 at the Northwestern Agricultural Research Center (NWARC) in Kalispell to address a serious infestation of wheat midge in the Flathead and Lake Counties.

The parasitoid was supplied by entomologists from North Dakota State University and released at a single sight in Flathead County.

After the initial release, the parasitoid population slowly increased, and by 2014, high numbers of the wasp could be found throughout Flathead County. In July of 2014 a new collection of the parasitoid was collected from the Lethbridge area and released in both the Kalispell and Conrad-Valier areas. The good news for the spring wheat growers is that Macroglenes penetrans populations have been slowly establishing in Pondera and Flathead Counties, and as of 2015, parasitoids counts were dramatically higher in these regions.

In 2015, another trip was made by into Saskatchewan to collect two different species of parasitoids know to be active on the wheat midge (Euxestonotus error and Platygaster tuberosula).

Wheat heads containing the parasitoids were brought back to the Western Triangle Agricultural Research Center (WTARC) in Conrad for rearing and the eventual release of these new parasitoids in July of 2016.

At the same time, sweep net surveys conducted during 2015 in Flathead County found that one of these parasitoids was already present.

Euxestonotus error was identified at eight different sights in Flathead County.

This indicates that these

PJ Pickup Flatbed BLOWOUT SALE!

Left to right: Mark and Barb Cole, Danni and Remmington Campbell holding Haaken, with Cole Redhorse stallion, Peptos Duke.

Cole Redhorse adds to program

Barb and Mark Cole have always had a passion for horses. In 1995 they purchased their first stud, All Reddy Smart, in Texas as a 2 year old. Although they had previously bred to outside studs, this was actually the start of their present program. All Reddy Smart went to work earning over $16,000 in NRHA and AQHA competitions and making beautiful and well built foals too.

Before retiring in 2001 “Tucker” was also a NRHA Gold Certificate earner and AQHA Superior Reining Horse, earning total of 63 points in reining and working cowhorse.

The Coles felt very fortunate to have found such a great horse and were devastated when they lost him in May of 2011, just six days before his 18th birthday.

It was a sad time, but eventually they started to look for a replacement and are very pleased with their new stud, Peptos Duke. He is also athletic, has a great disposition and has fit right into the program.

Peptos Duke’s first babies hit the ground in 2013. Everyone is quite pleased with the new arrivals so far and anxious to see what they will achieve.

The Coles also have Hallmarked Playboy, a stud that they raised and are standing in Alberta, Canada. He has always been a favorite and since he was shown in Canada, they decided that is where he should make his debut. At the 2011 Canadian Supreme, “Poncho” pretty well cleaned house in the Open Hackamore and ended the year as the ARCHA Reserve Champion.

Mark & Barb are pleased to announce a new addition to their Redhorse Program:

The Remington & Danni Campbell family, of Doin’ It Right Performance Horses. It is yet another expansion of one of the leading quarter horse breeders in the Northwest U.S. and Canada.

Remington & Danni Campbell, of Doin’ It Right Performance Horses, have a passion and dedication to making top-of-the-line performance horses both inside and outside the arena. They specialize in colt starting, team roping and calf roping. Having developed their horse training program over the past seven years in Vaughn MT, they have many repeat clients and a full training schedule year-round.

Remington currently competes in ACTRA, WTRCA and World Series team ropings as well as NRA rodeo. He also shows head and heel horses in judged AQHA shows.

Thanks to Cole Redhorse, the Campbells have recently relocated to Shelby MT and will continue to train quality performance horses.

If you are interested in getting in touch with Mark & Barb Cole about their outstanding line of horses and training program, call them at 406-434-5724. They love to talk horses! You may also visit their website at www.ColeRedhorse.com and like them on Facebook at www.facebook.com/ coleredhorse.

Cole Redhorse holds an annual sale. The 19th Annual Montana Breeders Group Sale will be held September 4, 2016 in Great Falls, Montana. Be sure to watch for their set of consignments!

Pack some healthful fuel for summer road trips

By Julie Garden-Robinson, Food and Nutrition Specialist, NDSU Extension Service “Are we there yet?”

If you were a kid or have a kid, you probably uttered or heard those words sometime in your life.

When our children were very young, we used to load our van and head out to distant states on adventures. Kids require a lot of equipment when they are young, so we had strollers, playpens, toys and lots of assorted baby accessories. We had to remove a seat from the van to be able to fit in all the “kid equipment.”

Our kids were not all that interested in the typical road trip games. We bought a portable DVD player to keep our kids entertained because built-in DVD players were not routinely installed in vans in those days.

However, trying to get three kids with an eight-year age span to agree on a particular movie was not an easy feat.

Road trips are a little easier now with less equipment, but the kids are not as enthusiastic about long van rides anymore.

Nowadays, they even could help drive the long distances. I think quite soon, our trips will consist of two parents on the loose with kids tending our home.

If you are planning a trip with family or friends, consider some food ideas to avoid the weight gain that often accompanies “dashboard dining” as you travel down the road. Try some strategies to help you stay in shape and manage your nutrition while on vacation.

Aim for trips that combine fitness with an adventure. Take plenty of breaks along the way to leave your vehicle, stretch and walk. Explore state parks with hiking trails, or rent bikes.

If you enjoy lakes or pools, try swimming as an excellent way to stay in shape and burn calories while having fun. Don’t forget to apply sunscreen often when you are in the sun.

Check out the recreational options where you are staying. Do they have kayaks, canoes or tennis courts? Many hotels have fitness rooms with treadmills. Water parks and golf courses often provide fun for kids and parents.

Bring some healthful snacks for the road trip. Many convenience stores have tempting foods that are high in calories and sodium. Bring an ice chest and replenish your ice supply regularly to keep your snacks cold. Try string cheese or tubes of yogurt.

Bring some nonperishable items such as whole-grain crackers, dried fruit, nuts and cereal mixes. Peanut butter and crackers and single-serving fruit cups also keep travelers happy on the route. Bring plenty of water to quench your thirst without calories.

If you bring food for a picnic, be sure to keep food safety in mind. Remember that perishable food, such as protein-rich meats, cut fruit and vegetables, and salads, that are set on a picnic table should spend no more than one hour at 90 degrees or higher.

When you reach your destination, try some of the unique local foods of the region. You can learn many things about culture through the recipes that are served. Try ordering more than one dish to set up a small buffet at your table so everyone gets to taste different foods.

Have you taken advantage of the adventures in North Dakota? We have explored the state several times and had many memorable adventures along the way. Check out http://www. ndtourism.com to explore some North Dakota adventures, including places to stay, things to do, and maps and guides.

Here’s a tasty treat with 6 grams of protein and 2 grams of fiber to keep you full and energized on a hike or family outing.

Wrap the bars individually for some homemade convenience food that also packs lots of nutrition. Be sure to bring plenty of wet wipes and maybe a roll of paper towels to clean up any messes.

Trail Mix Bars 3 c. crispy rice cereal 3 c. toasted oat cereal 1 1/2 c. raisins or dried cranberries 1/2 c. sunflower seeds 1 c. honey 3/4 c. sugar 1 (16-ounce) jar chunky or smooth peanut butter 1 tsp. vanilla Combine dry ingredients in bowl. Combine honey and sugar in pan and bring to a boil. Add peanut butter and vanilla; stir until peanut butter melts. Pour mixture over cereal and mix well. Press into a 13- by 9-inch pan and cool.

Cut into 28 pieces and wrap individually in plastic wrap if desired. Each serving has 225 calories, 11 grams (g) fat, 6 g protein, 30 g carbohydrate, 2 g fiber and 133 milligrams sodium.

Fort Peck Reservoir walleye spawn egg-take effort a success

By Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks (FWP) annual walleye spawn egg-take on Fort Peck Reservoir was completed in April. With the help of FWP personnel and the many volunteers, the egg collection goals were exceeded. The egg-take effort began in late March, and was completed by the 21st of April.

A total of 552 female walleye were spawned, with approximately 79 million eggs collected, and 1,674 males were captured during the effort as well. The heaviest walleye weighed was a female at 15.7 pounds. Another female captured measured only 29.6 inches, but weighed 14.4 pounds.

“The condition of some of the larger walleye was very impressive this spring,” said Fort Peck Reservoir Biologist and project-lead Heath Headley. “This is likely due to the high numbers of cisco, an important forage species, which we’ve had over the last couple of years. This abundance of food led to good growth and excellent egg production.”

Roughly 39 million eggs remained at the Fort Peck MultiSpecies Fish Hatchery, which in turn raised approximately 19.5 fry. “Eight to ten million fry will be put into Fort Peck Hatchery ponds to raise to fingerlings,” said Wade Geraets, Fort Peck Fish Hatchery manager. “The rest of the fry will be stocked into Fort Peck Reservoir and other allocated bodies of water around the state.”

The other 40 million eggs headed to the Miles City Hatchery, where approximately 8.1 million fry were stocked into hatchery ponds and 8.7 million fry were stocked into Fort Peck Reservoir at Hell Creek.

Overall, the weather was quite favorable to the walleye spawning efforts. “Although there were a few cold fronts that passed through, water temperatures remained in the upper 40’s, which is near the ideal spawning temperature for walleye.” said Headley.

During egg-take efforts in the past, some cold fronts have been more severe and longer lasting. “Some years we’ve observed water surface temperatures decrease from the upper 40’s to the upper 30’s and remain that way for several days,” said Headley. “Not only did this cause walleye to quit cruising the shallow shorelines where trap nets were located, but it also prevented any green female walleye we captured from ripening up or releasing their eggs. During those poor years, only 38-48 million eggs were collected.”

Volunteers, Headley says, were key to the operation.

Over 104 individual volunteers, from all over the state of Montana, assisted with this season’s effort. “We wouldn’t be able to set all the trap nets, collect fish, and spawn them on a daily basis unless we had help,” he explained. “Volunteers are the main reason this has been so successful over the years. It’s always great to see new and familiar faces during the walleye egg-taking effort, discuss the Fort Peck fishery, and see some truly remarkable fish.”

In addition to walleye eggs, roughly 2.5 million northern pike eggs were collected early in the effort. One hundred thousand northern pike fry were put into a Fort Peck hatchery pond, and the remaining fry were stocked into allocated ponds in Regions 6 and 7.

AFBF Court Ruling Provides Ag Power Against Corps

By: Glenn Vaagen The U.S. Supreme Court recently ruled landowners may challenge the federal government whenever the Army Corps of Engineers tries improperly to dictate land usage with regulations designed to protect water. American Farm Bureau senior counsel for public policy Danielle Quist says the ruling provides farmers and ranchers options against the Environmental Protection Agency and the Corps of Engineers.

“When a farmer or a rancher gets an approved jurisdictional determination that’s issued by the Corps of Engineers and they believe that the Corp of Engineers has over stepped the bounds of the Clean Water Act and after they exhaust all of their administrative remedies, they can file a lawsuit in federal court.”

Quist said the unanimous ruling will save farmers and ranchers time and money.

“They have the option to go to court and not spend years trying to get a permit, a permit that they may never get or a permit that they may not be able to accept, and have to go to court at that later period of time,” Quist added.

Catch and release fishing techniques

By Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks With general stream fishing season underway on May 21, anglers are reminded to practice proper catch and release techniques for released fish.

Anglers can reduce stress on fish by keeping the fish wet while landing and releasing it.

The species of fish, water temperature, and angler behavior affect the success of catch-and release fishing.

Trout species are most susceptible to angling mortality.

Warm water stresses fish more than cold water. How an angler fishes, choice of gear, and how the angler handles Manufacturer of Quality Engineered the fish affect survival of released fish.

Agricultural & Residential Trusses Here is what anglers can do to maximize fish survival: • Land the fish quickly and do not play it to exhaustion.

• Wet your hands before handling the fish.

• Keep the fish in the water as much as possible where it gills can absorb oxygen.

• Minimize the time out of water for photos.

• Let the fish recover before release. If the fish is hooked deeply or bleeding, you may have to snip the line at the fish’s mouth, or consider keeping it if regulations allow.

• Remove the hook gently. Use of artificial lures, single and barbless hooks can make hook removal ™ faster and easier.

Consider limiting your catch. Even with catchand-release, fish are stressed and some will die.

A new catch and release poster is available online at: FWP.mt.gov. More information on catch and release can also be found at: www.keepemwet.org or http://montanatu.org/ Contacts: FWP Fisheries Program Managers: Miles City: Mike Backes, 406-234-0925 Kalispell: Mark Deloptional accessories shown eray, 406-751-4550 Missoula: Pat Saffel, 406-542-5507 Bozeman: Travis Horton, 406-994-3155 Hours: Monday-Friday 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Sat. 9:00 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.

European Specialty Grains Trade Mission

Ingredient buyers from key European bakeries, cereal companies, and other food businesses visited Montana specialty grain companies in late June. They travelled throughout Montana’s Golden Triangle region as they sought U.S. sources for their food products. This event was organized by the Montana Department of Agriculture marketing team in conjunction with the Western United States Agricultural Trade Association, and is supported with funds from the USDA’s Market Access Program.

“The European market purchased over $1 billion in grains, pulses, edible beans and sunflower seeds in 2014, and their markets are receptive to organic, natural, gluten free and other specialty products,” said Montana Department of Agriculture Marketing Officer Marty Earnheart. “Montana companies are a perfect source of quality specialty grain products and are well positioned to supply European market demand.”

Over the course of this three day trade mission, Department of Agriculture staff connected European buyers with eleven Montana companies who have expertise in the production and processing of a broad range of specialty grains and related products. These grown in Montana products include gluten free oats, millet, spelt, triticale, groats, safflower oil, flax, buckwheat, edible beans, chickpeas, lentils and peas.

Pulse crops (which include lentils, peas, chickpeas, and beans) were of particular interest to buyers during this trade mission. While pulse crops have been grown in Montana for some time, production has increased dramatically in the last decade. In 2015, over 800,000 acres of pulse crops were planted and harvested, making Montana the #1 pulse crop producer in the United States.

Pulses are in high demand in the global food ingredient market because of their outstanding nutritional benefits, both in whole and fractionated form. Pulses can be found in food products such as hummus, protein powders, specialty pastas, and more.

As summer temps rise, so does fire danger

By Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks Much of Region 7 has been blessed with good spring moisture; however, with temperatures expected to climb into the 90s, conditions can change quickly. Along with hotter days, the National Weather Service also predicts a slight chance of thunderstorms for most of the week. Lightning and rapidly drying fuels can quickly increase fire danger.

Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks (FWP) reminds people heading outdoors for summer activities to beware of fire danger. Recreationists should be cautious when building and extinguishing campfires and make every effort to prevent wild fires. Remember to: -Carry a shovel to throw dirt on a campfire and a bucket for water to extinguish the blaze.

-Limit camping to designated camping areas and build campfires only in established fire rings.

-Drive only on established roads. Be sure that catalytic converters and mufflers are in good working order.

-Do not stop or park vehicles over tall grass or brush.

-Never use a flame or other heating device in a tent.

-Supervise children at all times when fires are burning or grills are in use. Do not allow them to run or play near a fire ring even if it is not lit.

As temperatures rise, check drought and fire conditions in your area to make sure there are no restrictions in place.

Improving visibility in ponds and lakes

By Connor Orrock, K-State Research and Extension As temperatures warm up, many people make plans to go fishing or swimming in Kansas’ farm ponds. Ponds can serve practical and recreational purposes, but they aren’t as useful or as aesthetic when they are cloudy or muddy.

Turbid or murky waters can be caused by chemical or environmental issues. They not only are eyesores, but may also be dangerous to swimmers due to unknown debris hidden under the water. Turbid waters also alter the environment for fish and other aquatic animals, said Charlie Lee, K-State Research and Extension wildlife management expert, who has some helpful tips for improving water visibility.

The most common cause of a turbid pond, Lee said, is suspended particulates in the water; the most common particulate found in ponds is clay. Many factors determine if the particulates in a pond will settle on their own over time, including variables such as water temperature, water chemistry, water movement and wind.

According to Lee, there is an easy test to determine what causes a turbid pond. Simply dip a gallon-sized glass jar into the water, and then let the jar sit on a shelf for 24 hours. If the particulates settle at the bottom of the jar, the problem is not due to a chemical imbalance. There is something else causing the particulates to be suspended in the pond.

“Sometimes there is a problem with unwanted fish such as carp, goldfish or bullheads in the pond,” Lee said. “They are bottom feeders and often keep disturbing the bottom of the pond, which keeps the clay in suspension and causes the turbid water.”

Long-exposed clean pond banks also increase the impact of wind erosion and turbidity, he said. The type and quality of the vegetation in the watershed immediately upstream from the pond should be evaluated. If cropland is near the watershed, heavy rains could wash soil particulates into the pond. Planting a riparian buffer of vegetation around the pond could solve the problem.

Other times, the cause of turbid waters is chemical in nature, Lee said. The chemical imbalance is often caused by repeated runoff into the pond from unprotected areas in the watershed. As a result, the interaction between soil type and water chemistry does not allow the clay particulates to settle to the pond bottom.

Lee noted that the two main treatments for a chemical problem, gypsum and alum, have been used many times with success. Gypsum is a neutral salt and does not alter the pH of the pond, while alum can alter the pH but is more effective in settling clay particulates.

“We like to begin with gypsum at 500 pounds per acrefoot,” he said. “If that doesn’t clean the pond, reapply a month later at a rate of 125 pounds per acre-foot. If the reapplication is not successful, the pond will likely remain turbid.”

Lee said that the old-fashioned home remedy of putting hay into the pond usually does not work. In fact, putting more organic matter in the pond often leads to more problems. Once the hay begins to decompose, it lowers the pond’s oxygen levels, which can create fish kills.

“If the problem is erosion from pond banks and dams caused by cattle grazing, you should fence the pond or restrict access to a small area for livestock watering,” he said. “If the problem is the sediment is continually being disturbed by unwanted fish, you may need to drain the pond or use a fish toxicant to remove the unwanted fish from the pond and restock with a balanced fish population.”

The best form of prevention is placing the pond in the proper spot. Lee recommends those thinking of building a pond to position it in a way to help with its ecology. Placing the pond in a watershed in a rangeland or woodland situation is better than one in cropland. If placing the pond in a cropland situation is unavoidable, a riparian or grass buffer should be planted around the pond.

K-State Research and Extension is a short name for the Kansas State University Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, a program designed to generate and distribute useful knowledge for the well being of Kansans. Supported by county, state, federal and private funds, the program has county Extension offices, experiment fields, area Extension offices and regional research centers statewide. Its headquarters is on the K-State campus, Manhattan.

Barbara Petty named UI Extension Director

By University of Idaho News University of Idaho (UI) Extension Director Barbara Petty will formally fill that role after 18 months on the job as interim director.

An 18-year member of the University of Idaho faculty, Petty began serving as interim UI Extension director in late 2014. She began her UI career as a UI Extension family and consumer sciences educator in 1998 on a part-time basis.

“Barbara Petty showed that she is the right person to lead one of the University of Idaho’s most citizen-focused endeavors,” said Michael Parrella, dean of the College of Agricultural and Life Sciences. “UI Extension made significant gains during her time as interim director in large part due to her expertise and understanding of the university’s mission to help the public.”

UI Extension was established under the federal SmithLever Act in 1914. It established partnerships between counties, states and land-grant universities to provide the state’s people with practical, trustworthy information based on scientific research. Nearly 200 UI Extension faculty and staff now serve throughout Idaho, including in 42 county offices.

“I am honored to be selected to serve as UI Extension director,” said Petty, who will be based in Moscow and also serve as College of Agricultural and Life Sciences associate dean. “Extension is well poised to provide trustworthy, innovative education to address Idahoans’ needs so they can make informed decisions on issues they are facing. I look forward to continuing to build upon the foundation of excellence already established and will work together with new partners to expand our reach in serving the residents of Idaho and beyond.”

Petty’s time as interim director included a pioneering role for UI Extension: county offices helped advance the Enroll Idaho campaign to encourage more residents to pursue higher education.

Petty also focused on hiring talented and innovative UI Extension professionals to fill position vacancies and refocused many to address Idahoans’ current needs. She also helped lead a shift toward using technology to improve communication with residents and within Extension.

A Nebraska native, she moved to Idaho Falls in 1998 when her husband, Terry, was chosen to pastor a congregation there.

After earning her bachelor’s degree in vocational home economics education in 1977, she taught home economics in Missouri before focusing on raising her children. She earned a master’s degree in human development and the family from the University of Nebraska in Lincoln in 1984 and returned to teaching there in 1995.

After beginning work in UI Extension’s Bonneville County office, Petty worked on other collaborative projects with fellow Extension family and consumer sciences faculty focused on nutrition and financial training.

As her interest in an Extension career grew, Petty sought additional education. In 2007, she earned a doctorate in education with an emphasis in adult education and organizational learning from the University of Idaho.

Petty became director of the southern Idaho Horizons Project in 2008 and guided UI Extension’s efforts to build leadership capacity in 15 communities through the program funded by the Northwest Area Foundation. In 2010, she became Extension’s Eastern District Director.

One of her early projects at Idaho Falls was developing the Married and Loving It! curriculum with her husband, who now works as a certified professional mediator. The program remains popular with its focus on communication as the main path to marital harmony.

Research showed the class helped couples. “We knew two-thirds were already satisfied with their marriage and one-third would say that their level of satisfaction in their marriage was low when they attended the first class. Immediately after participating in the five-week program, their marital satisfaction level went up: 92 percent said they were satisfied,” she said.

“The interesting part for us was when we did a follow-up survey and expected the percent to go down but 93 percent of those same participants said their marital satisfaction level was higher,” she added. The main reason, she said, was learning about themselves and learning about their spouses.

In addition to her Extension work, Petty serves as chair of the Board of Directors for Northwest University in Kirkland, Washington.

NRCS closes Lower Birch Watershed Plan with project completion

With the completion of four of the final irrigation improvement projects on the Lower Birch Creek Watershed Plan this past year, the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service is closing out the project. At a signing on April 27, 2016, NRCS will close out a project the agency began with the Pondera County Canal and Reservoir Company in Valier, Mont., in 1982.

The initial investigation of the 244,000acre watershed identified many problems with the aging irrigation delivery system that was installed between 1900 and 1948.

The Lower Birch Creek Watershed Project began in 1982 to upgrade irrigation infrastructure and improve the quality of water in streams and rivers. It was designated for funding and technical assistance through NRCS’s Watershed Protection and Flood Prevention Program (P.L. 566).

The Pondera County Canal and Reservoir Company maintains Swift Dam, two large diversions, Lake Frances, 360 miles of canals, hundreds of irrigation structures to irrigate nearly 90,000 acres of barley, wheat, canola, and hay.

Work in the 1980s and 1990s took care of many of the infrastructure issues in the aging irrigation delivery system, making the water availability and delivery much more reliable and efficient. Five supplemental agreements were developed over the years to continue to improve the entire system.

When funding through the PL 566 watershed program diminished, the Pondera County Canal and Reservoir Company paid for some of the improvements themselves and found other funding sources. In 2009, funding from the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act accelerated conservation work on the Lower Birch Creek irrigation system, allowing the completion of three wasteway projects in July 2010. The last few were completed with funding from NRCS’s Environmental Quality Incentives Program. The ARRA and EQIP projects were built by the Canal Company.

Some of the final projects stabilized severe gully erosion by conveying excess irrigation flows back into Lower Birch Creek, the original source of irrigation water. Water is returned to stable outlets in the stream corridor through buried pipelines.

These structures reduced the amount of sediment deposited into more than 18 miles of stream fisheries, significantly improving water quality.

In total, nearly 100 irrigation structures have been installed at a cost of approximately $8 million.

“Without the partnership with NRCS, the Canal Company could never have done it on its own,” said Vern Stokes, manager of the Pondera County Canal and Reservoir Company. “Our delivery and our efficiencies have been greatly improved.”

New rice flour mixes available to make yummy treats

By Sandra Avant, Agricultural Research Service Consumers can now buy double chocolate chip brownie, chocolate chip cookie and lemon poppy seed muffin mixes made from a rice flour blend developed by U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) scientists that reduces oil absorption during cooking.

The products are available under the brand name Choice Batter® from CrispTek LLC, which released its first product—a rice-based frying batter—made with the Agricultural Research Service’s (ARS) patented special blend of rice flours. Retired chemist Frederick Shih and chemist Kim Daigle, with the Food Processing and Sensory Quality Research Unit in New Orleans, Louisiana, developed the technology.

Nutritionally and functionally, rice ingredients are equal or superior to their wheat-based counterparts, according to Shih. Research has shown that rice-based batters absorb 50 percent less oil than traditional wheat batters. Rice ingredients also are gluten free, which is important for people who have celiac disease, which causes an autoimmune reaction to wheat proteins.

CrispTek founder Wayne Swann obtained a license for the technology and signed a cooperative research and development agreement with ARS. The rice blend can be used for grilling, baking and frying.

The new sweet products are easy to make. You only have to add water. They are also free of the eight most common food allergens such as peanuts, dairy foods and soy, according to Swann. The products have no artificial colors, flavors or preservatives.

Over the years, ARS scientists have developed a series of low-fat-uptake and gluten-free food products, including batters and donuts.

Read more about this research in the June 2016 issue of AgResearch at http://agresearchmag.ars.usda.gov/2016/ jun/rice/ ARS is USDA’s chief intramural scientific research agency.

Parasitoids to manage wheat midge continues in Montana during 2016

The wheat midge (formally called the orange wheat blossom midge) can cause significant damage to spring wheat and is widely distributed throughout Montana. A state-wide monitoring effort has been ongoing since 2014 and the results have been posted on Pestweb (https://pestweb.montana. edu/). The information supplied on this website shows that counties in the Northwest, Northcentral, and northeastern parts of the state have the highest levels of infestation.

Fortunately, other insects may hold part of the solution for controlling the wheat midge.

A small parasitic wasp, Macroglenes penetrans, attacks the wheat midge, helping to

regulate populations. This parasitoid is credited with controlling about 25 to 40 percent of the midge population in parts of Canada and North Dakota. In some instances, parasitism rates of greater than 75 percent have been documented.

Efforts to introduce the parasitic wasp into Montana are on-going. This effort is a continuation of work that began in 2008 at the Northwestern Agricultural Research Center (NWARC) in Kalispell to address a serious infestation of wheat midge in the Flathead and Lake Counties. The parasitoid was supplied by entomologists from North Dakota State University and released at a single sight in Flathead County.

After the initial release, the parasitoid population slowly increased, and by 2014, high numbers of the wasp could be found throughout Flathead County. In July of 2014 a new collection of the parasitoid was collected from the Lethbridge area and released in both the Kalispell and Conrad-Valier areas.

The good news for the spring wheat growers is that Macroglenes penetrans populations have been slowly establishing in Pondera and Flathead Counties, and as of 2015, parasitoids counts were dramatically higher in these regions.

In 2015, another trip was made by into Saskatchewan to collect two different species of parasitoids know to be active on the wheat midge (Euxestonotus error and Platygaster tuberosula).

Wheat heads containing the parasitoids were brought back to the Western Triangle Agricultural Research Center (WTARC) in Conrad for rearing and the eventual release of these new parasitoids in July of 2016.

At the same time, sweep net surveys conducted during 2015 in Flathead County found that one of these parasitoids was already present.

Euxestonotus error was identified at eight different sights in Flathead County. This indicates that these other parasitoid species should survive and multiply in Montana and provide additional help in managing the wheat midge.

The MSU Wheat Midge Biological Control Team members include Brooke Bohannon, NWARC, Dr. Erik Echegaray, NWARC, Dr. Gadi VP Reddy, WTARC, Conrad, Dr. Govinda Shrestha, WTARC, Dr. Bob Stougaard, NWARC and Dan Picard, WTARC. The Montana Wheat and Barley committee has provided support for this project. For more information on the biological control program or wheat midge contact any of the team members at WTARC (406-278-7707) or NWARC (406-755-4303).

The four North Dakota 4-H’ers selected to attend the National 4-H Conference have a chance to meet with the state’s congressional delegation.

Pictured from left are: 4-H members Kaitlyn Nelson and Emily Joerger, U.S. Congressman Kevin Cramer, 4-H’ers Billie Lentz and Colton Christmann, and the youths’ chaperone, NDSU Extension Service Southeast District Director Ron Wiederholt.

For 16-year-old Rolla High School sophomore Billie Lentz, attending the National 4-H Conference in Chevy Chase, Maryland, this spring was an incredible learning experience.

“National 4-H Conference gave me the opportunity to meet teens from across the nation who not only shared a passion for 4-H, but also my other interests, like agriculture,” says Lentz, who has been a 4-H member since the fifth grade.

“I made amazing memories.”

While at the conference, she also was able to share her enthusiasm for agriculture with national policymakers. Lentz and 17 other teens from across the U.S. gave a presentation to the U.S. House Committee on Agriculture on the importance of agriculture.

Lentz was one of four North Dakota 4-H’ers selected to attend the 2016 conference. The others were Colton Christmann of Kindred, Emily Joerger of Mayville and Kaitlyn Nelson of Grafton.

The National 4-H Conference is the premier civic engagement opportunity for 4-H members who are 15 to 19 years old. It began in 1927 as the National 4-H Club Camp, and delegates slept in tents on the National Mall grounds in front of the Department of Agriculture building in Washington, D.C. It has been held annually except during World War II. It was renamed the National 4-H Conference in 1958, and in 1959, it moved to the newly founded National 4-H Center in Chevy Chase, which is just outside Washington, D.C. Delegates participate in round-table discussions, attend workshops on improving their civic engagement knowledge and skills, and visit federal agencies and their state’s congressional delegation. As part of their round-table sessions, the youth identify and develop their perspective on a topic through research and deliberation, and develop a briefing on the topic, which they present to a federal agency with interest in that topic.

“National 4-H Conference 2016 was a blast,” Joerger says. “The trip taught me how to use leadership and communication skills in 4-H and in daily life by helping to raise awareness for the opportunities open to older 4-H’ers and by empowering me to grow my level of communication with those around me.” Ron Wiederholt, who chaperoned the North Dakota delegates, was very impressed with them.

“It was refreshing to see how engaged all the youth were,” says Wiederholt, the North Dakota State University Extension Service’s Southeast District director. “They certainly were not afraid to take on the challenges presented, and they learned some great lessons about civic engagement that will stick with them for the rest of their lives.”

Trips to the National 4-H Conference and National 4-H Congress in Atlanta, Ga., are some of the best opportunities 4-H offers for teens, according to Lentz, and she encourages other youth to give 4-H a try.

“4-H is a common thread that connects 6 million youth across the U.S. by teaching them leadership skills, public speaking and interview skills, the importance of volunteering and much more,” she adds. “4-H has shaped me into the person I am today.” ##### A farmer wears many career hats. He is a chemist, an environmentalist, a botanist, an entomologist, an accountant, a weather forecaster, a mechanic, and a marketing expert.

Kim Harris 406-450-5961 Conrad, MT Colt Harris 406-450-5452

By Julie Garden-Robinson, Food and Nutrition Specialist, NDSU Extension Service The other day, I walked out the front door of my home and was dive-bombed by a robin. I felt her wings graze my head.

I squealed and ran down the sidewalk. A person walking down the sidewalk looked at me with curiosity.

My daughter had warned me that we had an “angry bird” in a nest close to our front door. I noticed two robins had set up a parental surveillance system in our front yard. Female robins have duller-colored feathers than males, so this was my introduction to “Mother Robin.”

I sneaked back to our front step and peeked toward the crook of a tree to see three fuzzy baby birds with open mouths waiting to be fed.

I could see Father Robin, with his brighter plumage, collecting worms. Male robins also help their offspring learn to live on their own. The robins’ sons and/or daughters are well taken care of by their doting parents until they “fledge,” or leave the nest.

The Robinsons get to watch them from a distance, through a window near the tree, where they are safe from divebombing birds. Whenever I am on our front doorstep, I do not look at the nest. Mother Robin has her eye on me and squawks loudly.

“Mother Robinson” (yes, that’s me) also has three kids in our nearby nest, but two of them will be leaving later this summer. Our oldest will move to an apartment, our middle child will move to a dormitory, and our 12-year-old will get a lot of attention at home.

Lately, collecting things to feather their future nests has been my priority. What exactly do you need to set up a household, especially a kitchen?

If you’re assembling a kitchen or downsizing, be sure to have certain items on hand. Besides dishes and utensils, you will need pots and pans, knives, a plastic cutting board, measuring cups and spoons, mixing bowls, stirring spoons, a whisk and a can opener. Some small household appliances are handy, too, such as an electric mixer, microwave oven and toaster oven. Most of us need a coffee maker, too.

Organization helps, especially if your new space is a compressed version of your old space. For quick cooking, organize your kitchen so your equipment is within easy reach.

When cooking for one or two, be sure to choose recipes that are easy to divide mathematically. Sometimes you have to try some little tricks to make recipes work.

For example, in recipes calling for three eggs, use two eggs and remove 2 to 4 tablespoons of liquid (if present) from the recipe. If a recipe calls for a can of beans or soup and you would like to divide the recipe in half, use what you need and refrigerate or freeze the remaining beans or soup.

Be sure to label the container with the contents and date.

When resizing recipes that include herbs and spices, add the seasonings gradually. Sometimes you may need to add more (or less) of the spice to reach the desired flavor.

Be sure to check for doneness of halved recipes five to 10 minutes sooner than the original recipe. Always be sure to keep notes about what works and what doesn’t.

If you really like your larger-sized recipes, think of the extra servings of food as “planned overs” instead of leftovers.

You can use planned-over macaroni to make pasta salad or quick casseroles. Add planned-over vegetables or meat to homemade soup or stir-fry.

Try some easy-to-assemble foods or use “speed scratch” cooking techniques, where you add some fresh ingredients to convenience foods: • Make minipizzas by topping English muffins with planned-over spaghetti sauce, vegetables and shredded cheese.

• Add chopped onions, mushrooms, peppers and cooked meat to canned spaghetti sauce. Serve spaghetti sauce over noodles one day, then add kidney beans and chili seasoning for another meal.

• Top a microwave-baked potato or sweet potato with planned-over chili and cheese.

• Mix chopped yellow squash, green peas and grated carrots with a prepared rice mix.

• Spice up canned tomato soup by adding chopped green onion, celery and some garlic powder.

A few years ago, I created a “Cooking for One or Two” publication, and I also worked with my students to create a series of Cooking 101 publications for singles and couples.

You might enjoy the recipes and tips for yourself or to help any “fledglings” in your household leave the nest. Visit CONTINUED ON PAGE A37

Keep stored grain cool, dry during summer

By NDSU Extension Service Stored grain needs to be cool and dry during the summer, a North Dakota State University (NDSU) Extension Service grain-drying expert says.

“Cold or cool grain has been safely stored through the summer for many years,” notes Ken Hellevang, an Extension agricultural engineer. “Keeping the grain as cool as possible should be the goal of spring and summer grain storage.”

Allowing grain to warm to average outdoor air temperatures during the summer can lead to insect infestations and mold growth. The optimum grain temperature for insect activity is approximately 70 to 90 degrees. Reducing grain temperatures below 70 degrees will lessen insect reproduction and activity, and lowering grain temperatures below 60 degrees will greatly reduce insect activity.

Hellevang warns that using aeration could warm the grain, which may increase the moisture content of the grain slightly. Aeration fans should be covered to prevent wind and a natural chimney effect from warming the grain. Wind blowing into uncovered fans or ducts will move air through the grain in a way that is similar to operating an aeration fan.

One challenge to keeping the grain cool during the summer is that solar energy on the bin roof heats the air above the grain. Convection currents in the grain flow up along the bin wall and down into the grain near the top middle of the bin, drawing this heated air into the grain. Ventilating the space between the grain and the bin roof can reduce the amount that the grain near the top of the bin is warmed.

Natural ventilation to cool this space can occur if the bin has openings near the eave and peak; these openings work like the vents in an attic of a building. The heated air rises and exits near the peak, drawing in cooler air near the eave. This natural ventilation will not occur unless the bin has adequate openings at the eave and peak. Roof exhaust fans controlled by a thermostat also can be used to draw the heated air out of the bin if openings are available to allow air into the area above the grain.

Cool grain in the upper portion of the bin by operating the aeration fan about every three weeks during a cool early morning. Using positive-pressure aeration to push air up through the grain enables the cool grain in the bottom of the bin to cool the air, which then cools the grain near the top of the bin.

Run the fan only long enough to cool the grain near the top surface. That may require running the fan for a few hours during a cool, dry morning for a couple of days. Running the fan more than necessary will warm more grain at the bottom of the bin, increasing the potential for storage problems.

If the air dew point is warmer than the grain temperature or if the air relative humidity is high, some moisture will condense onto the grain during fan operation. Condensing moisture will release heat that will warm the air slightly, reducing the effectiveness of the aeration and increasing the amount of warming occurring in the grain at the bottom of the bin. Therefore, selecting mornings when the air is cool and dry is important.

Verify that the grain moisture content is dry enough for storage at summer temperatures. The recommended longterm grain storage moisture contents are about 13.5 percent for wheat, 12 percent for barley, 13.5 percent for corn, 11 percent for soybeans, 13 percent for grain sorghum, 8 percent for oil sunflowers and 10 percent for confectionary sunflowers. The market moisture content may be higher, but storing warm grain at higher moisture contents may lead to mold growth on the grain.

Measure and record the stored grain temperature at several locations near the top surface, along the walls and within the stored grain. Temperature sensors are an excellent tool when monitoring stored grain, but remember that they only measure the temperature of the grain next to the sensor. Because grain is a good insulator, the grain temperature may be much different just a few feet from the sensor. Increasing grain temperature may be an indicator of an insect infestation or mold growth.

Mold growth and insect infestations occur rapidly at summer temperatures, so stored grain should be checked every two weeks. A situation with only a few insects can turn into a major infestation in less than a month. Using insect traps or placing grain samples on white material helps you look for insects. ##### South Dakota adopted the honey bee as the state insect in 1978.

Watch for farm equipment on the road

By NDSU Extension Service This is the growing season on the farm, which means more drivers and farm equipment will be on the road.

“We live in an agricultural state where we see several tractors and farm implements on many of our two-lane and gravel roads,” says Rick Schmidt, an agriculture and natural resources agent for the North Dakota State University (NDSU) Extension Service in Oliver County. “It is extremely important for all people to understand the dangers this may cause.”

For example, an automobile traveling 55 mph will cover 400 feet (more than the length of a football field) in five seconds. At 65 mph, the car will travel 475 feet in five seconds.

That means a car traveling 55 mph will take about seven seconds to cover that 400 feet and reach a tractor or piece of farm equipment traveling 25 mph.

“As drivers seem to be more distracted by cellphones and texting, the likelihood of rear-ending slow-moving vehicles will increase,” Schmidt says.

Farm equipment operators are supposed to pull off to the side of the road on an approach periodically to let trailing vehicles pass. Therefore, automobile drivers should not pass farm equipment until they can do so safely by observing all of the road signage and traffic or waiting until the equipment operator pulls off to the side of the road, according to Schmidt.

He advises drivers who approach a piece of farm equipment that is moving very slowly or stopped and the operator is planning to make a left-hand turn to be patient and wait to determine if passing is safe.

“Chances are, the tractor operator can’t see the vehicles behind him,” Schmidt says. “Drivers of automobiles need to understand that even if there is a dotted yellow line to pass, they are responsible if they hit the driver of the tractor, who is making a legal turn.”

Vehicles equipped with a Slow Moving Vehicle sign can travel no more than 25 mph. This includes pickups pulling anhydrous ammonia tanks and other farm equipment. If a piece of equipment is pulled faster than 25 mph, the Slow Moving Vehicle sign needs to be covered.

“Everyone on the public roads needs to understand the use of Slow Moving Vehicles signage to prevent accidents,” Schmidt says.

All-terrain vehicles (ATVs) can pose another safety issue this time of year. They are not supposed to be driven on public roads. They can be driven in the ditches or on the back slope of a ditch, but not on the upslope (slope closest to the road). This is a state law, although it has some exceptions.

The law also requires that those operating most ATVs must be at least 16 years old.

Schmidt advises those operating an ATV to never ride with passengers and always wear their helmet.

“Accidents with farm equipment, ATVs and automobiles are usually preventable if we take time to think about safety first,” he says. “Don’t get in such a hurry. Leave a few minutes early and enjoy the drive.”

Register for game damage roster

By Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks Hunters interested in participating in “game-damage” hunts on private land or possible management seasons this year have until July 15 to register online with Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks (FWP).

Hunters from this roster may be identified for three types of hunts: game damage, management season and dispersal.

The roster is used by FWP to efficiently respond to landowners in the prevention or reduction of damage primarily caused by deer, elk and antelope.

Prospective hunters can register online at fwp.mt.gov.

Click “Hunt Roster”. To register, hunters will need their ALS number.

A final roster, randomly generated from all online registrations, will be posted by August 1, on the FWP website at fwp.mt.gov under MyFWP. The hunts, if they occur, can take place between August 15 and February 15, 2017. ##### Scientists believe that the closest living relative to the Tyrannosaurs Rex is the chicken.

The results screen provides acre at all yield levels. premium costs by available coverage levels.

Consider now that the Smiths do not meet Figure 3 outlines the Smiths’ premium costs their average yield and their actual yield is at $62 per acre for Yield Protection (YP), 105 bushels per acre; this scenario is similar $75 per acre for Revenue Protection (RP), and $65 for Revenue Protection with the Harvest Price Exclusion (RP-w/HPE). For $13 per acre over the cost of YP coverage, the Smiths gain an additional $69 in revenue under the described reduced yield scenario.

The CIDT provides users the opportunity to better understand the cost of alternative coverages as well as the benefits possible under alternative yield and price scenarios.

Young Farmer

A clergyman walking down a country lane and sees a young farmer struggling to load hay back onto a cart after it had fallen off.

“You look hot, my son,” said the cleric.

“Why don’t you rest a moment, and I’ll give you a hand.”

“No thanks,” said the young man.

“My father wouldn’t like it.”

“Don’t be silly,” the minister said.

“Everyone is entitled to a break. Come and have a drink of water.”

Again the young man protested that his father would be upset. Losing his patience, the clergyman said, “Your father must be a real slave driver. Tell me where I can find him and I’ll give him a piece of my mind!”

“Well,” replied the young farmer, “he’s under the load of hay.”

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

Be on the lookout for ticks

By Mary Lou Peter, K-State Research and Extension They’re tiny and slow moving, and this spring’s cool, humid weather across the central Plains has been to their liking, so Kansas State University entomologists are encouraging anyone spending time outdoors to be on the lookout for ticks.

Typically found in undisturbed grasses, weeds and other overgrown vegetation, ticks have even been found this year in corn fields, which is unusual because tillage practices in corn fields usually destroy eggs and young ticks, according to Kansas State University entomologist Jeff Whitworth.

The American dog tick (Dermacentor variabilis) has benefited from this spring’s cool, wet weather, Whitworth said. Other types commonly found in Kansas are the lone star tick (Amblyomma americanum) and blacklegged tick or deer tick (Ixodes scapularis). All three are hard ticks, characterized by a hardened shell and a head that extends in front of the body.

The wingless parasites, which feed exclusively on human and animal blood, can carry dangerous microbial pathogens and are difficult to control for several reasons.

They make babies – a lot of them. After mating, the adult female American dog tick feeds on her human or animal host until engorged, then drops off and deposits eggs in the environment, Whitworth said. She dies after she deposits her eggs, but those egg masses typically number in the thousands from just one female. Males feed sparingly and do not engorge.

There are multiple tick species, and they can live up to two years, plus they can feed on numerous wildlife or human hosts.

Ticks are most commonly found just a few inches or feet off the ground on vegetation and typically ambush their human or animal “hosts,” as they look for a meal by crawling onto grass, weeds, or low bushes and waiting for a host to brush against the vegetation. They then move onto the host to look for a site to attach and feed. Ticks do not jump or drop from trees, Whitworth said.

If not engorged, American dog ticks are typically only about one-eighth of an inch long. If engorged, they increase in size up to three-quarters of an inch.

American dog ticks are common throughout Kansas, especially in grasslands and along the edge of forests. They can transmit Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, a potentially fatal illness to dogs, cats, and humans, and Cytauxzoonosis, an often-fatal blood parasite to cats. They can also cause tick paralysis.

Lone star ticks are most commonly found in woodland habitats with dense underbrush. White-tailed deer and wild turkeys are considered prominent hosts for these ticks, but other animals also serve as hosts. They can transmit human monocytic ehrlichiosis. They can also transmit Tularemia, which causes a Lyme disease-like infection called Southern tick-associated rash illness.

Black-legged ticks are also known as the deer tick or Lyme disease tick. Their primary host is the white-tailed deer. These ticks carry Lyme disease in the central and eastern United States. Typical symptoms of Lyme disease include fever, headache, fatigue and a characteristic skin rash called erythema migrans, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. If left untreated, infection can spread to joints, the heart and the nervous system.

Avoidance and removal To protect against ticks, avoid going into tall grass, weeds and brushy areas, Whitworth said. For those who do go into such areas, light-colored clothing can help you see ticks before they reach the skin. Repellents based on DEET (N, N diethyl-meta-toluamide) and permethrin work well in keeping ticks and mosquitoes away. Permethrin-based repellents must not be applied directly to skin.

After coming home from potentially tick-infested areas, inspect your skin, and remove ticks immediately. Ticks removed within several hours after attachment are unlikely to transmit pathogens, Whitworth said.

If a tick has already attached itself, remove it manually by grasping as close to the skin as possible with forceps or tweezers, and pull straight away from the skin, using slow, steady pressure. The tick should not be twisted or jerked out, as that increases the chance for its head to be left in the skin.

Do not use a lighted match or cover the tick in petroleum jelly or nail polish.

Ticks removed from people should be saved in a vial with alcohol and labeled with the date. If flu-like symptoms, such as headache, skin rash and fever occur 10 to 14 days after the tick’s removal, see a physician immediately, and take the tick with you. If in Kansas, send it to the local K-State Research and Extension office.

and enhance agricultural and related activities in rural areas and to protect the environment, enhance quality of life and alleviate poverty.

In addition to private landowners, UNL students will play a critical role in this project according to Banerjee.

“The economic experiments will serve as a means to engage university students and stakeholders in experiential learning, providing them with a keener appreciation for human decision making.”

The role that empathy plays in human decision making is the focus of an additional grant awarded to Banerjee and Mark Burbach, environmental scientist in the School of Natural Resources, along with colleagues at the University of Michigan - Dearborn. The two-year, $80,258 grant from the Center for Behavioral and Experimental Agri-Environmental Research (CBEAR), will evaluate the effectiveness of empathetic messaging in con-

servation stewardship program participation.

The research team will be working with the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service to send letters to farm operators inviting them to participate in a Conservation Stewardship Program in exchange for a financial incentive. Previous economic experimental research conducted by the team suggests that introducing empathetic messaging into that letter could result in a higher adoption of conservation practices.

“We hope to see a much higher adoption in conservation when using a combination of empathy and financial incentives,” said Burbach.

The project is one of 12 behavioral science projects awarded by CBEAR which aim to explain the complex human responses to agri-environmental policies implemented by the government, with the goal of helping to design better public programs.

By NDSU Extension Service Farm and ranch families fear health-care costs will devastate their finances, yet they often overlook long-term care when developing a plan to transition their business to the next generation.

Many families do not realize the probability of needing some form of long-term care in their lifetime, according to Lori Scharmer, family economics specialist for the North Dakota State University Extension Service. The reality is that one in two Americans older than 65 will have an extended nursing home stay.

Also, families have many misconceptions about who will pay for those costs and how business assets can be protected from long-term care costs.

Without a long-term health-care plan, a farm/ranch business is facing a potentially huge financial risk, Scharmer says. Long-term health-care costs have skyrocketed. For example, in North Dakota, the cost for a nursing home stay may be more than $99,000 per year.

“That’s why having a long-term health-care plan is an essential part of any succession and estate plan,” Scharmer says. “There must be planning to ensure the business transitions as the family desires.”

To assist North Dakota’s farm and ranch families in planning for long-term care expenses, NDSU Extension, in cooperation with University of Minnesota Extension, has developed a publication, “Long-term Health Care Planning for North Dakota Farmers and Ranchers.” This publication outlines what long-term care is, the statistics on the probability of needing long-term care, some of the terms involved, an explanation of the federal Medicare and Medicaid program qualification guidelines, and methods of paying for long-term care.

“The publication is a good overview of long-term healthcare planning and a good place to start,” says Scharmer, who is one of the authors.

The publication is available through your local NDSU Extension office or online at http://tinyurl.com/Long-termHealthCare-NDSU. “This topic is extremely complicated,” says Gary Hachfeld, a University of Minnesota Extension educator and co-author of the publication. “When you begin to plan for this area of your life, consider seeking the help of an elder law attorney.”

An elder law attorney focuses his or her law practice on the area of long-term health-care issues and Medicaid planning.

“Each individual has to decide how he or she will deal with long-term health-care costs if the need arises,” Scharmer says. “This is a personal choice, and every individual has a different set of circumstances. Don’t leave it to chance; have a plan.”

Be on the lookout for ticks CONTINUED FROM PAGE B2

Prevention and control Clip grassy and weedy areas around the house short to expose ticks to sunlight and subsequent desiccation. Spring burning of grasslands reduces the tick and rodent (tick host) populations temporarily.

Chemical pesticides targeting ticks and mites are called acaricides. They should be used only in areas with chronic tick problems.

The Remedy

A fellow went to the doctor who told him that he had a bad illness and only a year to live. So he decided to talk to his pastor.

After the man explained his situation, he asked his Pastor if there was anything he could do.

“What you should do is go out and buy a late ‘70 or early ‘80 model Dodge Pickup,”

said the Pastor. “Then go get married to the ugliest woman you can find, and buy yourselves an old trailer house and put it halfway up a mountain.”

The fellow asked, “Will this help me live longer?”

“No,” said the pastor, “but it will make what time you do have seem like forever.”

By NDSU Extension Service A large unmanned aircraft that will help North Dakota State University (NDSU) with an agricultural research project has taken its first flight.

Small unmanned aircraft systems (UAS), most weighing 55 pounds or less, have proved to be useful in crop and livestock production. A group of North Dakota Agricultural Experiment Station scientists and NDSU Extension Service specialists think large UAS can play an important role in agriculture as well.

Those scientists and specialists are collaborating with the Hillsboro Airport Authority, some Traill and Steele County producers and Fort Worth, Texas-based Elbit Systems of America on a research project to test that theory.

Elbit is a subsidiary of Elbit Systems Ltd., an Israeli high-tech company that provided a Hermes 450, a UAS with a 35-foot wingspan, for the project. That’s similar to the wingspan of a single-engine manned aircraft.

The Hermes 450, which was flown in sections to the U.S. from Israel, then trucked to North Dakota. It is flying out of the Hillsboro Municipal Airport, where it will be based for the duration of the project. The Hermes 450’s ground control equipment was installed earlier this month.

“Small UAS are ideal for scouting crops and livestock, and can be used effectively to capture imagery for precision management decisions such as variable-rate in-season fertilization, weed identification, livestock inventory and identifying sick animals,” says John Nowatzki, Extension agricultural machine systems specialist and the principal investigator on this project.

“But small UAS are relatively limited by flight time and cannot easily capture imagery of thousands of acres on the same day,” he adds. “Large UAS will be needed to collect high-spatial and temporal-resolution imagery over entire regions in a timely manner.”

One of the benefits of using UAS for agricultural purposes is saving time, but if a producer has to drive a small UAS from field to field, then it really isn’t much of a time saver, notes Sreekala Bajwa, chair of NDSU’s Agricultural and Biosystems Engineering Department and a co-investigator on this project.

“Most small UAS need to capture hundreds of individual images to make a single mosaicked image of one square mile,” Nowatzki says. “A large UAS could capture highresolution imagery of one square mile in a single image.

This would make it possible to capture imagery useable for precision crop management over hundreds of thousands of acres in a single day at very high resolution.”

This project will use the Hermes 450 and small rotocopter and fixed-wing UAS to collect imagery from a four- by 40mile corridor in east-central North Dakota every two weeks during the 2016 crop-growing season. The Hermes 450 will gather images from altitudes of 3,000, 5,000 and 8,000 feet, while the small UAS will fly at 400 feet or below.

The UAS will collect data on stand counts in corn, sunflowers and sugar beets; the effectiveness of nitrogen applied to corn and wheat; iron chlorosis deficiency in soybeans; and yield predictions for corn, soybeans, wheat, sugar beets and sunflowers. The researchers plan to test whether UAS also can benefit livestock producers, such as by inventorying cattle in pastures.

The intent is to compare the data collected from the air at various altitudes with data collected through satellite imagery, in-field observations and on-the-ground sensors, detailed soil analyses and harvest yield information.

“This research is the first of its kind in the nation,” Bajwa says.

Researchers also plan to assess the costs associated with collecting UAS imagery, including personnel, transportation, the number of flights required to gather sufficient data, the time required to collect the information, area of coverage per flight and maintenance costs per hour of flight to determine whether using UAS for agricultural purposes is economical.

Those involved in the project say this kind of information also will help companies such as Elbit decide whether to consider expanding to North Dakota. A Research ND grant from the North Dakota Department of Commerce is partly funding this project. The purpose of these grants is to promote long-term economic development in the state, Nowatzki notes.

To inform producers and others in the test area about the project, Extension agents Alyssa Scheve from Traill County and Angie Johnson from Steele County organized informational meetings in both counties. They sent letters CONTINUED ON PAGE B11

Big-data computer will facilitate research, collaboration

By Eric Sorensen, WSU science writer Washington State University (WSU) recently cut the ribbon on a high-performance computer, heralding a new era of gleaning insights from large and unwieldy masses of data.

An investment of $2.7 million over five years, the Kamiak computer operates on a “condominium” model: researchers purchase nodes, which guarantees storage and computing power. Nodes not in use are available to other researchers, which gives all “investors” more computing resources than if they bought stand-alone systems.

In addition, a couple of nodes are set aside so researchers who are not yet investors may evaluate Kamiak for their work.

The computer will enable WSU’s Strategic Research Computing Initiative to better anticipate research needs, reflect research priorities like the Grand Challenges and grow partnerships, top faculty, education and training.

Kamiak is “an essential starting point, but it’s also something that can grow tremendously according to our needs,” said Aurora Clark, an associate professor of chemistry who has developed computer programs to analyze molecular networks.

With the new WSU Center for Institutional Research Computing, Kamiak will stimulate collaborations “in a regional context that we have not had before,” she said.

Creation of a collaborative community “will be one of the most important components of having this on campus,” agreed Bert Tanner, an assistant professor in integrative physiology and neuroscience. He investigates how myosin, a motor protein, uses chemical energy to make muscles contract. It’s a complicated process that requires highperformance computing to simulate.

“As you’re scaling up from one motor protein to a very complex network of motor proteins, there’s a lot to keep track of in terms of scale and scope and the number of computations involved,” he said.

Kamiak was conceived, procured and installed through the efforts of the offices of the provost, research, finance and administration and information technology systems, as well as the colleges of Agricultural, Human and Natural Resource Sciences, Arts and Sciences and the Voiland College of Engineering and Architecture.

While calling Kamiak “a continual work in progress,” Interim President Dan Bernardo praised those who pulled together “to address a shortcoming in our research infrastructure.

“It’s about identifying where the bottlenecks are,” he said, “and committing to strategic priorities and allocating resources to where we get the biggest bang for the buck for our faculty, graduate students, undergraduates and everybody else.”

to landowners and ran ads in local newspapers to make sure everyone was aware of the meetings. Topics discussed at the public meetings included data privacy, manned and unmanned aircraft safety, project research objectives and image collection flight schedules.

Trajectory information from the UAS flights will be shared with the Federal Aviation Administration, which is developing regulatory standards for the use of UAS. The FAA recently approved the Hermes 450’s flight as part of the Northern Plains UAS Test Site in North Dakota. The state was selected in 2013 as one of six FAA test sites and is conducting research that will assist the FAA in developing those standards.

Because the FAA requires UAS to be flown within the operator’s line of sight and the Hermes 450 will go beyond that, the North Dakota wing of the Civil Air Patrol will fly a chase plane with a visual observer who will be in constant radio communication with the ground-based UAS operators, Nowatzki says.

This project is the latest in NDSU’s efforts to determine the role of UAS in agricultural production and help strengthen the state’s economy. Those efforts began in 2014 with a project to use thermal infrared sensors and cameras mounted on UAS to gather data from crop and livestock research projects at NDSU’s Carrington Research Extension Center.

Livestock pest management is vital

By NDSU Extension Service Face and horn flies are the most common and most treated pests on North Dakota livestock operations, producers reported in a recent North Dakota State University (NDSU) Extension Service survey.

“Left untreated, these pests can cause significant loss in production,” NDSU Extension livestock environmental stewardship specialist Miranda Meehan says. “In the U.S., horn flies are estimated to cause an economic loss of $1 billion annually.”

While integrated pest management (IPM) is commonplace for controlling crop pests, similar concepts can apply to controlling livestock pests. These concepts include using the right type of control at the right time for the right duration to control pests effectively.

Many North Dakota livestock producers apply pest control prior to pasture turnout, which may be optimal for control of some pests but not others, according to Patrick Beauzay, NDSU Extension entomology research specialist.

Horn flies are gray and look like small houseflies. Horn flies bite and spend most of their time clustered around the head, shoulders and back of cattle. These blood-sucking flies feed up to 30 times per day. This constant biting causes cattle pain and stress, and can reduce the cattle’s weight gains by as much as 20 pounds.

The life cycle of a horn fly ranges from 10 to 20 days, depending on weather conditions. Populations typically peak in midsummer and early fall. When fly counts reach 200 flies per animal, the economic threshold has been reached and animals will have significant weight loss. The economic threshold is the pest density at which producers should take action to manage the pest.

Face flies look like large, dark house flies. They are nonbiting flies that feed on animal secretions, plant nectar and manure liquids. Face flies may transmit pathogens responsible for infecting the eye and causing keratoconjuntivitis, or “pinkeye,” in cattle. The life cycle of a face fly is approximately 21 days. Populations tend to peak in late summer.

Horn and face flies typically are not present at pasture turnout and do not reach economic thresholds for applying control until midsummer.

“The first step to determining when to apply control is to properly scout pastures and cattle to determine fly type and fly populations,” NDSU Extension beef cattle specialist Carl Dahlen says. “Horn flies typically rest on cattle throughout the day, whereas face flies land on the face of cattle for a meal and then retreat to nearby structures (forages, fences, etc.).”

Ear tags contain insecticides that are released slowly into the animal’s hair by movement, so ear tags should not be applied until fly populations are nearing the economic thresholds (typically from mid-June to July), Dahlen adds.

Read insecticide labels carefully because recommendations can vary for the number of tags to apply (one or two), age of cattle that can be tagged and chemical class of active ingredient (pyretheroid, organophosphate or a combination).

Beauzay recommends rotating the class of insecticide each year and removing tags when they no longer provide effective fly control to help prevent flies from becoming resistant to the insecticides.

“To achieve proper fly control, pour-on and sprays must be applied every two to three weeks throughout the fly season,” NDSU Extension veterinarian and livestock stewardship specialist Gerald Stokka says. “Applying these products before pasture turnout likely will not be an effective fly control method. Additionally, avermectin pour-ons will have more impact on internal parasite loads later in the summer when internal parasite populations are greater.”

Feed additive insecticides can be included in mineral formulations for the cattle. The additives pass through the animals’ digestive system and destroy the developing fly maggots in the manure. These additives are effective in killing 80 to 90 percent of the developing fly larvae in animals that have consumed the product.

Feed additives should not be offered until flies emerge in late June or early July. Continuous use of these products will speed up resistance in the fly populations.

Back rubbers, dusters and other means of delivering insecticides, as well as nonchemical fly traps and reliance on natural fly defense mechanisms (dung beetle control of larvae), also are options. As with the other control methods, producers need to watch for economic thresholds and determine what control measure will work best in their operation.

By Donna Foulk, PennState Extension Educator How Can You Identify a Poisonous Plant Poisonous plants contain toxins that generally have a bitter taste in order to keep the plant from being consumed.

The animals are “trained” to avoid toxic plants by learning to recognize the smell or taste associated with the toxin.

Fortunately, most healthy, well-fed animals will not eat toxic plants if they have access to good quality forage. Livestock owners should learn to recognize toxic plants, and be aware of the symptoms they can cause. The level of concern should be the greatest when: • The animals are undernourished.

• The animals do not receive adequate forage.

• Pasture grasses are no longer available due to overgrazing, drought or changing seasons.

• The plant is highly toxic.

• The toxic plant has been reported to cause poisoning in healthy animals.

Plant poisoning can be difficult to diagnose, since symptoms can range from mild irritation to death. The severity of poisoning depends on how toxic the plant is and how much was eaten.

Almost every pasture contains some poisonous plants, or is bordered by trees or shrubs that are toxic. While it is not always possible to eliminate all of the plants that may be toxic, there are several ways of managing the plants and animals to reduce the possibility of poisoning: • Keep the animals healthy by maintaining a good nutritional program.

• Make sure animals have a steady supply of forage (grass or hay).

• Identify poisonous plants and trees in and adjacent to the pastures. Many good reference books, web sites, and fact sheets are available. Your local Cooperative Extension office may have people on staff that can help you.

• Remove or fence off toxic trees and shrubs.

• Remove broken branches from toxic trees that have fallen into the pasture.

• Do not plant trees or ornamental shrubs or plants near barns and pastures. Colorful ornamental plants are frequently toxic.

• Do not use forest and wetlands for turn-outs. Many toxic plants grow in these environments.

• Manage grasses to maintain a healthy, thick stand of grasses that can compete with weeds. Fertilize, rest, and rotate pastures when necessary.

• Mow pastures to reduce weeds.

• When necessary, eliminate toxic plants with appropriate herbicides.

• Do not throw garden or lawn clippings into pastures.

fully read the label prior to application,” Dahlen says. “It is important to monitor populations to see if the product is achieving the desired level of control. If a product is not effective, the fly population may have developed a resistance to that type of insecticide and another method and/or product should be utilized.”

Meehan adds, “Pest control can be costly. Producers can reduce costs by following principles of integrated pest management and applying the appropriate products at the appropriate time for the appropriate control of pest populations.”

Giving away a horse

A retiring farmer in preparation for selling his land, needed to rid his farm of animals. So he went to every house in his town.

To the houses where the man is the boss, he gave a horse.

To the houses where the woman is the boss, a chicken was given.

He got toward the end of the street and saw a couple outside gardening. “Who’s the boss around here?” he asked.

“I am,” said the man.

“I have a black horse and a brown horse,” the farmer said, “which one would you like?”

The man thought for a minute and said, “The black one.”

“No, no, no, get the brown one.” the man’s wife said.

“Here’s your chicken,” said the farmer.

of those costs to changes in input factors.

The tool uses a comprehensive list of related expenses to calculate overall cost, including expected life values, repairs and depreciation, housing, insurance, taxes, and annual use.

The tool allows users to analyze costs on powered equipment (tractors, windrowers, etc.) and up to three different implements – as well as vehicles, powered irrigation equipment, non-powered irrigation equipment, and actual field operation costs.

Users enter information for a particular machine, and the calculator generates charts showing annual costs and average operating costs based on the data entered.

Results include an estimate of risk sensitivity for the particular machine or activity on selected input variables – the probability of a selected cost per acre being at or lower than a selected value.

The user can either enter their own machinery data or utilize tables (included in the tool) showing ranges of reported rates and information for the selected activities as a basis for analysis.

The information in Table 7 of the calculator is divided into three categories: size of power unit, size of implement, and acres per 10 hours of use (accomplishment rate).

Swathing Hay Example Median values, as well as the range of values reported, are shown for each category. As an example, suppose a grower was trying to determine the operating cost for swathing hay.

We find the values for swathing to be 94 horsepower, 14 feet harvesting width, and 56 acres covered per 10 hours of use. These data were compiled from operators responding to custom operator surveys conducted by the University of Wyoming.

In the next installment, we look at how to use this information to estimate machinery ownership and operating costs using the Machine Risk Calculator.

For more information Visit RightRisk.org to begin using the Machinery Risk Calculator; simply select “Risk Management Tools” from the Resources tab and follow the link.

The page includes a slide presentation on the tool, as well as a user guide. RightRisk. org has numerous resources including producer profiles, budgeting, other risk management tools, and courses to assist producers no matter what stage they are at in their risk management planning.

FWP Wildlife Division holds biennial conference, awards

By Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks The Montana Fish, Wildlife and Park’s (FWP) wildlife division recently honored several wildlife staff for their work for the department during the past two years.

The recognition came at the biennial division conference where biologists and wildlife staff gathered from around the state to discuss a variety of wildlife topics, including updates on Habitat Montana, working with landowners, wildlife education and access issues.

“This conference was an important opportunity for the division due to the fact that many of our people are dealing with similar issues and challenges around the state,” said FWP wildlife division administrator Ken McDonald. “This gives our folks a chance to share their successes and put their heads together on the most effective ways of managing Montana’s wildlife resources.”

FWP employs more than 100 people in the wildlife division, most of whom are stationed in communities across the state. They work on a wide variety of issues from big game management, to non-game species monitoring, to habitat conservation, to helping private landowners manage wildlife impacts and habitat.

The awards honored staff for innovative work, dedication and exemplary performance.

Awards • Special Recognition – Mark Szczypinski, a conservation technician in Roundup received this award for his work on the sage grouse grazing project. The award recognizes employees for going above and beyond to further the mission of the agency.

Dave Dziak is a maintenance crew leader in FWP Region 2 and was recognized for a career of dedication to maintenance management on the wildlife management areas in his region. Dziak is retiring from the agency this year.

Karen Loveless is a biologist in Region 3 and tasked with managing, among other things, wildlife in the Paradise Valley on the northern edge of Yellowstone National Park. The public is keenly interested in the wildlife she manages and their opinions about how the management should go are passionate and diverse. However, Loveless has developed a skill at working effectively with both hunters and landowners.

Alan Charles is FWP’s landowner and sportsmen relations bureau chief. He was recognized for his work in making the Hunter Access Enhancement Program a success along with his work at growing the Block Management Program to 1,200 cooperators providing access to more than 8 million acres.

• Employees of the Biennium – Trevor Throop and Neil Caldwell, who are both pilots for FWP. Both Throop and Caldwell spend many hours in the air each year to help biologists with everything from species counts, to tracking collared animals. This award honors exemplary work in the division during the past two years.

• Innovative Thinker – Kristi Dubois, who is a non-game biologist for FWP Regions 2, received this award in recognition of her work monitoring northern bog lemmings, which are candidates for the Endangered Species List and native to Montana. The lemmings are hard little creatures to track, but Dubois developed a method of using trail cameras and DNA sampling to locate the creatures and learn more about their populations and habitat.

• Outstanding Project – Alan Wood, a wildlife mitigation coordinator in FWP Region 1, was recognized for his work through the Forest Legacy Program in securing significant conservation easements near Whitefish. The project helps protect critical wildlife habitat along with the Whitefish watershed, while still allowing for timber management in the area.

• New Employee Achievement Award – Merissa Hayes, administrative supervisor in Helena, was honored for her work on a variety of fronts including customer service, guiding the production of big game regulations and attention to detail.

Junk Food Day

Date celebrated: 21st of July each year Sometimes, the idea of being healthy, preparing a balanced meal, and snacking on carrot sticks isn’t too appealing. Junk Food Day is all about satisfying your cravings for something naughtier, greasier, and definitely more fattening than the nutritional but not-veryexciting meal you know that you really should be eating.

Car Crashes

The National Transportation Safety Board recently divulged a highly secret plan they had funded with the US automakers for the past five years. The NTSB covertly funded a project whereby the automakers were installing black boxes in four wheel drive pick-up trucks in an effort to determine, in fatal accidents, the circum-

stances in the last 15 seconds before the crash.

They were surprised to find in 49 of the 50 states the last words of drivers in 61.2% of fatal crashes were, “Oh, Crap!”

Only the Deep South was different, where 89.3% of the final words were, “Hey Y’all, watch this!”

Grant to support development of new phenotyping instrument

By Yufeng Ge, Assistant Professor, Biological Systems Engineering, University of Nebraska-Lincoln With support from a National Science Foundation (NSF) grant, University of Nebraska-Lincoln (UNL) researchers are developing a new tool that will help them better identify plant characteristics that are critical to improving crop performance.

The three-year, $534,194 grant will be used to develop an instrument that will improve capacity, sensitivity and throughput for plant phenotyping.

Producing enough food and energy for a world population of more than 9 billion by the year 2050 is the greatest challenge facing agriculture. To solve the looming global food security challenge, crop stress tolerance and yields must increase. Researchers around the world are studying plant characteristics, or phenotypes, at high throughput and high resolution to identify opportunities to improve crop performance.

Currently, it is difficult to reconstruct a three-dimensional structure of a plant from its digital images alone. The multiwavelength laser imaging and ranging instrument being developed as a result of this grant will simultaneously probe chemical properties of plants, such as water, nitrogen and chlorophyll concentration, while also measuring 3-D plant structure, such as leaf orientation and angular distribution.

The measurements will tell researchers more information about plant physiology and function.

“The instrument being developed through this research will allow for more efficient phenotype characterization and analysis, which will lead to accelerated crop improvement,” said Yufeng Ge, assistant professor in the Department of Biological Systems Engineering and an investigator on the project.

UNL is a world leader in phenotyping research due in part to the cutting-edge Greenhouse Innovation Center at Nebraska Innovation Campus, where the instrument development will occur. The center features 45,000 square feet of greenhouse and headhouse space, state-of-the-art computer environmental controls and 22-foot eve heights to allow for optimal air circulation. When completed, the center will include 60,000 square feet of greenhouse space connected to 80,000 square feet of office and wet lab space.

“The phenotyping greenhouse at Nebraska Innovation Campus is a one-of-a-kind facility and can be a test bed for more advanced phenotyping technologies and methods,” Ge said. “We are fortunate and very excited that we can leverage this nice facility for the instrument development.”

In addition to Ge, other researchers working on the project are Hongfeng Yu, assistant professor in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, and Harkamal Walia, associate professor in the Department of Agronomy and Horticulture. The interdisciplinary team plans to foster a collaborative environment where postdoctoral, graduate and undergraduate students will receive interdisciplinary training in plant biology, biological engineering and computer science.

Farmboy mischief

These two country boys, brothers, were knocking around one lazy summer day and thought it would be a good prank to push over the outhouse. They crept up from an advantageous direction like a couple of commandos, pushed the outhouse over on one side and headed for the woods. They circled round and returned home an hour later from a completely different direction thus, trying to divert suspicion from themselves.

Upon returning, their father approached them with switch in hand and bellowed, “Did you two push the outhouse over this afternoon?”

The older boy replied, “As learned in school, I cannot tell a lie. Yes, Father, we pushed over the outhouse this afternoon.”

At this revelation, the farmer proceeded to flail the two boys severely and sent them to bed without supper.

In the morning, the two boys meekly approached the breakfast table and took their seats. Everything was quiet until their father finally said, “Have you two learned your lesson?”

“Sure, Dad!” said the big brother, “But, in school we learned that George Washington admitted to HIS father that he’d chopped down a cherry tree and he was forgiven because he told the truth.”

“Ah yes!’ said the farmer, “BUT, George’s DAD, wasn’t in the cherry tree when he chopped it down!!!”

Working dogs help in the fight against AIS

By Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks A unique partnership between Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks (FWP) and the Flathead Basin Commission (FBC) is 406-253-1001 helping promote the use of new weapons in the war against aquatic invasive species (AIS).

But these weapons have four legs and a keen sense of smell.

Working dogs trained to sniff out quagga and zebra mussels will be used to help inspectors at two FWP inspection stations in northwest Montana this summer. The mussels are the biggest concern for state AIS officials, due to the destruction they can cause fisheries, recreation and agriculture and municipal water supplies.

The K-9 inspection teams are only searching for the presence of mussels, not aquatic vegetation, drugs or any potential contraband. The funding to use the dogs was secured by the FBC from Conoco Phillips/National Fish and Wildlife Foundation. The dogs are trained by Working Dogs for Conservation.

The partnership between the FBC and FWP is long standPre Plant - Chemfallow - Crop ing in northwest Montana. The dogs will be working at two FWP inspection stations, and three others operated by other Liquid Fertilizer Application agencies in the area.

Montana law dictates that all people with watercraft stop at inspection stations they pass. By law, watercraft includes a variety of vessels, including motorboats, paddleboard, kayaks, rafts, driftboats, and float tubes.

The key to preventing the spread of AIS is to clean, The grain bin management system from OPI-Integris includes drain and dry your watertemperature and moisture sensing cables to help you determine when craft after each use.

BCI provides online resource for upcoming VFD changes

By K-State Research and Extension News Striving to provide the most up-to-date information on upcoming changes in regulations related to the Veterinary Feed Directive, the Beef Cattle Institute (BCI) at Kansas State University is offering a new online resource – for free.

The BCI partnered with animal health experts Mike Apley of the Kansas State University College of Veterinary Medicine and Brian Lubbers of the Kansas State Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory, to create an online informational module that answers frequently asked questions regarding the Veterinary Feed Directive (VFD) (http://www.fda.gov/AnimalVeterinary/DevelopmentApprovalProcess/ucm449019.htm) issued by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Changes to the regulations as a result of the directive are scheduled to take place January 1, 2017.

According to Lubbers, K-State has been heavily involved with face-to-face meetings regarding the VFD, but the online modules will give producers and veterinarians an opportunity to gain foundational knowledge on their own time.

“The biggest thing for producers and veterinarians is really the planning,” he said. “We don’t want people to get to January 1 and be surprised by what they can and cannot do. I encourage producers to start the discussion with their veterinarians on what is impacted, how it may change, as well as the process.”

The free informational modules for beef producers and veterinarians can be found at http://www.beefcattleinstitute. org The Beef Cattle Institute utilizes collaborative multidisciplinary expertise to promote successful beef production through the discovery and delivery of actionable information and innovative decision support tools.

What does the new dairy research mean for us?

By Julie Garden-Robinson, Food and Nutrition Specialist, NDSU Extension Service “Want milk!” exclaimed the little voice in the early hours of morning.

By the time he was a toddler, our son knew exactly what he wanted to quench his thirst. He had whimsical dancing farm animals adorning the walls of his nursery. I guess when the morning light illuminated his room, the smiling cows reminded him it was time to eat.

He didn’t even cry, unless no one showed up at his door.

My husband or I would walk bleary-eyed down the hall to carry our growing boy downstairs for some cereal and milk.

Now he’s 21 years old and still a milk enthusiast. Along with a variety of other foods, milk helped him grow to a height of 6 feet 3 inches. Genetics helped, too.

For several years, as our kids were growing, we had several kinds of milk “on tap” in our refrigerator: whole milk when they were toddlers, reduced-fat milk when they reached preschool age and nonfat milk for ourselves. Now we only have nonfat milk in our refrigerator, even though I grew up drinking whole milk and 2 percent milk.

Nonfat or low-fat milk has been the recommendation for many years for adults and older kids, primarily because it is lower in total fat and saturated fat, and therefore, it is lower in calories.

Regardless of the type of milk, the other nutrients remain the same. For example, all types of milk, regardless of fat content, provide about 300 milligrams of calcium per cup.

In fact, milk provides nine essential nutrients. It is fortified with vitamin D so the calcium is used by our bodies to build and maintain strong bones and teeth, as well as for other health reasons.

Recently published research may alter the dairy fat recommendations in the future. Some studies have shown that consuming higher-fat dairy might have a neutral effect or a positive effect on our risk for chronic disease.

Researchers at the University of Cambridge examined the results of 72 published studies with 600,000 participants in 18 countries. They found that the intake of saturated fat from dairy did not affect the heart disease rate and may reduce the diabetes risk.

Another study showed a link between full-fat dairy foods and decreased weight gain. Perhaps the fat makes people feel more satisfied and less likely to consume more calories than they need.

Many studies and a body of evidence are needed to change recommendations, so we in the nutrition field will be watching scientific publications about dairy closely. In the future, we may see changes in the dairy recommendations.

For good health, we all need a balanced diet with plenty of variety, including lots of fruits and vegetables, dairy, lean protein and whole grains. The most recent guidelines recommend three servings of dairy per day.

If you cannot have dairy due to allergies, you need to find a calcium source to meet your needs. Ingredient labels are required to alert you that the food contains a milk ingredient.

If you have lactose intolerance (difficulty digesting the natural sugar, lactose, in milk), you may be able to handle smaller amounts of milk with meals, or you can try cheese, yogurt or lactose-free dairy products.

If you follow a vegetarian or vegan diet, then read and compare nutrition labels on plant-based calcium sources.

So for good health, should milk drinkers grab the milk with the red cap (whole milk) instead of the pink (nonfat milk) when in the dairy aisle? If you prefer higher-fat milk, yogurt and cheese, then enjoy it, but balance your calories.

For example, if you are having cookies and whole milk, have one less cookie.

Not all the research is in at this point. Just like any other science, whether it’s the phone technology we use or the type of car we drive, science evolves.

“Let’s have a party, Homer,” she suggested. “Let’s kill a pig.”

The farmer scratched his grizzled head. “Gee, Ethel,” he finally answered, “I don’t see why the pig should take the blame for something that happened fifty years ago.”

UW researchers study alfalfa stand rejuvenation options

By Brian Lee, research scientist at the James C. Hageman Sustainable Agriculture Research and Extension Center near Lingle Researchers from the Sheridan Research and Extension Center (ShREC) and the James C. Hageman Sustainable Agriculture Research and Extension Center (SAREC) near Lingle are cooperating on an alfalfa renovation project.

Hay is a very important crop for Wyoming, accounting for a total production value of $317 million in 2014. Alfalfa hay accounted for 490,000 harvested acres with a 2.6 ton/ acre yield in 2014 (Wyoming Agricultural Statistics). With staggering numbers like these, it’s easy to see producers in the state lean heavily on alfalfa as a production crop and as a high-quality food source for cattle.

There comes a time in the life of any alfalfa stand when a producer needs to make important decisions about how to get the greatest value out of it. Hay fields are usually renovated by primary and secondary tillage or by applying herbicide followed by no-till seeding.

Some producers have historically performed various types of management practices, ranging from mild harrowing to moderately aggressive tillage at different times during the stand life in an attempt to rejuvenate existing stands.

At what point do these operations truly add value for the alfalfa stand and what level of regrowth should you expect?

These are the types of questions this study hopes to address: compare the effectiveness of various mechanical treatments with conventional hayfield renovation techniques and evaluate the costs of each practice.

Mechanical treatments will include harrowing, aeration, and cultivation, while the conventional techniques will include herbicide, plowing, and reseeding with a cover crop. Researchers hope some of these low-cost mechanical methods can be used to improve productivity of an aging alfalfa stand.

This topic has been of interest to Sheridan area producers, but the study hopefully will have statewide application. The research will be conducted in the Sheridan area with farm manager Dan Smith at ShREC being the primary contact.

Mike Albrecht (malbrec1@uwyo.edu), Brian Mealor (bamealor@uwyo.edu), and I will be assisting with the research.

Albrecht and Mealor can be reached at (307) 673-2856.

Hundreds of weeds identified in free ‘Weeds of the West’ e-pub

By University of Wyoming Extension Pigweed, dogbane and horsetail are among plants featured in the free downloadable “Weeds of the West,” a guide to more than 350 species found around the home, farm and ranch.

The guide, available as a pdf or ePub at bit.ly/weedswest, aids in identifying species that compete with native plants, horticultural and agricultural crops or are toxic to livestock and people.

Entries include descriptions, habitats and characteristics for weeds growing in all western states, including Hawaii.

More than 1,000 photographs show early growth stages and mature plants, plus important features for identification.

Abundance and ability to reproduce, compete and spread rapidly often characterize weeds. According to the editors, the “weed” label does not mean a plant is always undesirable or cannot be beneficial under certain circumstances.

They give as examples species undesirable on grasslands for livestock as being valuable wildlife forage or habitat elsewhere. Some species poisonous to livestock are valued as ornamentals, and some nearly universally unappreciated weeds may help reduce soil erosion on disturbed sites.

Published by the Western Society of Weed Science, Cooperative Extension of the United States and the University of Wyoming, “Weeds of the West” is one of more than 500 guides and how-to videos available from University of Wyoming Extension (see bit.ly/UWEpubs) covering livestock, wildlife and Wyoming open spaces, plus gardening, estate planning, energy planning and other topics.

For more on weeds, see “Wyoming Weed Watchlist,” “Cheatgrass Management Handbook,” and “Weed Control in Gardens and Lawn.” ##### Approximately 1/3 of all potatoes grown in the US are grown in the state of Idaho.

Saving water in Southern High Plains dairy production

By Dennis O’Brien, Agricultural Research Service U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) scientists are trying to save water in one of the fastest growing dairy regions in the United States by encouraging use of a drought-tolerant crop the same way it’s sometimes used in India—as cattle feed.

Dairy production is growing fast in the Southern High Plains region of West Texas and New Mexico, and most of the dairy producers there use corn silage or alfalfa as a key feed component. Corn and alfalfa require more water than other crops, thus stretching the Ogallala Aquifer, the source of water for that region, beyond capacity.

Prasanna Gowda, an Agricultural Research Service (ARS) engineer, knew that dairy cattle in his native India are raised on finger millet (Eleusine coracana) and that milk from finger millet-fed cows there sells for a higher price.

As part of their research, Gowda and his colleagues grew five finger millet varieties in Bushland for 120 days, selecting plants of each variety based on crude protein, fiber content, and other nutritional qualities. They compared the finger millet’s nutritional qualities to those of corn and sorghum from neighboring plots.

Gowda found that finger millet had higher levels of potassium than corn, twice as much calcium, four to five times as much phosphorus, and comparable levels of protein, fiber and total digestible nutrients. (Calcium and phosphorus deficiencies reduce dairy cattle’s appetites and growth and lower milk production.) Finger millet also used less water than corn and sorghum. The one drawback was that finger millet produced lower yields than corn.

The results showed that finger millet could be a viable feed source for dairy cattle as a supplement to corn and that it could help save water in areas where water is limited, Gowda says.

Gowda was based in Bushland, Texas at the time of the study, but has since moved to the ARS Grazinglands Research Laboratory in El Reno, Oklahoma.

WHY RAKE with a BALE KING VR Wheel Rake?

• 62” RAKE WHEEL - Most competitor’s rakes use 55” wheels. 62” wheels turn better in heavy crop,

roll easier and turns at a slower rate which is easier on your crop.

• STANDARD WINDGUARD - We think windguards are an essential component of a hay raking system because they allow you to continue raking in windier conditions without hay wrapping hanging up on the rake wheel.

• 48 TINES PER WHEEL (most rakes only have 40) - better float and better coverage in finer crops.

• PATENTED SINGLE REPLACEABLE TINES - Easy one bolt replacement - an industry exclusive!

• PATENTED RAKE WHEEL SPRING SYSTEM - our long lasting zero maintenance design provides exceptionally smooth rake wheel flotation.

By Iowa State University of Science and Technology News Service Mosquitoes are taking flight across Iowa, and it’s likely only a matter of time before they appear in a backyard near you.

The impending mosquito season has already begun for medical entomologists at Iowa State University, who will continue longstanding efforts to monitor West Nile Virus and expand surveillance of mosquito species with the potential to carry Zika virus.

Brendan Dunphy, a research associate in Iowa State’s Medical Entomology Laboratory, said Zika virus poses only a slight risk to Iowans because the species known to transmit the disease are not believed to have established themselves in the state.

Zika virus is an infectious disease that can lead to severe birth defects. It has threatened populations in South America, and international travel has led to some cases appearing in the United States. No cases of the disease have occurred in the United States via transmission from mosquitoes.

“To this point, there’s been an absence of established populations of the species that carry Zika in the state of Iowa,” Dunphy said. “Those species are primarily adapted for a tropical or sub-tropical climate.”

The species in question are Aedes albopictus and Aedes aegypti – exceedingly rare or yet undetected in Iowa. Dunphy said Iowa State’s mosquito surveillance efforts have turned up only 12 specimens of Aedes albopictus in the state over the last 16 years. By comparison, more common “pest” mosquitoes, such as Aedes vexans, may tally more than 100,000 specimens in Iowa in a single year.

This year, the laboratory will expand its trapping efforts to determine if Aedes albopictus or Aedes aegypti have established themselves in Iowa to gauge the potential threat posed by Zika virus, should mosquito-borne transmission occur in the United States.

Several locations in Iowa are “under-trapped and understudied as far as mosquito populations,” so lab personnel want to fill in some of those gaps in the data, Dunphy said.

“It’s not that we expect to find big populations of Aedes albopictus or Aedes aegypti, but we want to dispel some of that uncertainty,” he said.

The Medical Entomology Laboratory has cataloged mosquito populations collected across the state every year for the last 45 years, and the lab will increase its use of traps this summer designed to lure the species that have the potential to transmit Zika, Dunphy said. The conventional traps the lab has used to catch species that may harbor West Nile Virus use a combination of light and still water to entice mosquitoes. But the new traps will simulate the secretion of human sweat and air movement patterns that mimic human respiration to more effectively lure the species with the potential to carry Zika virus.

Ryan Smith, an assistant professor of entomology at Iowa State who leads the surveillance efforts, emphasized that expanded mosquito surveillance doesn’t mean Zika virus poses a threat in Iowa.

“Currently, there is no immediate threat of Zika virus transmission in Iowa,” Smith said. “All cases of Zika in Iowa and the United States have been introduced from travel abroad, with the virus yet unable to establish local mosquito-borne transmission in the U.S. at this time. A more immediate risk for those in Iowa is the continued potential of West Nile transmission.”

Dunphy said the short lifecycle of mosquitoes means populations can spike in a hurry. The beginning of June often brings the high temperatures and rainfall that create optimal habitat for some species to lay eggs. For those species, it takes only about a week and a half after for the recently hatched larvae to develop into bloodthirsty adults.

Dunphy recommended that Iowans who want to avoid mosquitoes rid their property of all standing water to cut down on the available habitat. He said flower pots, gutters and bird baths all have the potential to attract mosquitoes.

Mosquito repellents provide some protection, as does staying indoors around dusk, when mosquito activity is often the heaviest, he said. ##### Retirement at 65 is ridiculous. When I was 65, I still had pimples. –George Burns ##### Senior Definition App: half of a Golden Delicious.

MSU College of Agriculture seeks ag leader nominations

The Montana State University College of Agriculture is seeking nominations for outstanding agricultural leaders to honor during its 2016 Celebrate Agriculture event, set for November 10-12.

The annual awards honor those who have exhibited abundant leadership in Montana public service as an agricultural producer, industry advocate, agri-business leader or as a friend of agriculture. The award is part of the college’s annual Celebrate Agriculture event, and awardees will be honored during the college’s Harvest Breakfast on Saturday, November 12.

The event and awards recognize the important voice Montana’s agricultural producers have in their land-grant university, according to MSU Vice President of Agriculture Charles Boyer.

“Our outstanding agricultural leaders represent the breadth and depth of the many ways our agricultural community supports MSU,” Boyer said. “They serve as strong examples for our students and stakeholders of how leadership and participation can further the land-grant mission of teaching, research and outreach.”

Successful award applicants will be: well respected in their agricultural community; actively involved in the agriculture industry with accomplishments that impact many; an industry leader or an upcoming, active and innovative producer; or have a lifetime of achievement in agriculture. Current MSU, state or federal employees will not be considered except in the friend of agriculture category. Past MSU, state or federal employees need to have been retired for a minimum of two years and shown service above and beyond their job requirements to be considered. Nominees who are not selected this year will be reconsidered the following year, but applications should be updated with current information.

In 2015, Lola Raska of the Montana Grain Growers Association and Max and Kirsti Cederberg of Hot Rod Ranch Inc. received the award.

The deadline for nominations is Friday, August 26, and forms should be received at 202 Linfield Hall, MSU, Bozeman, MT, 59717, by that date. Nomination forms may be downloaded at: http://agriculture.montana.edu/celebrateag/.

Celebrate Agriculture is an opportunity to celebrate the heritage of Montana agriculture and the impact the land-grant tradition has on communities across the state of Montana, the nation and the world. The event includes a dinner hosting the college’s student scholarship award winners, a public breakfast and current agricultural-related research highlights. All events are free and open to the public. The MSU Department of Agricultural Economics and Economics will also host an outlook conference on Friday, November 11, called “Agricultural Production: Trends and Changing Food Systems.”

Oklahoma State University Regents Professor Jayson Lusk will give a keynote talk, “The Future of Food,” during the conference lunch hour.

A full conference schedule can be found at http://www. ampc.montana.edu/fallconference/index.html

NDSU develops soybean growing degree day model

By NDSU Extension Service North Dakota State University (NDSU) researchers have developed a new model to predict the maturity date of soybeans for growers in eastern North Dakota and northwestern Minnesota.

“The new model is just one of the many North Dakota Agricultural Weather Network (NDAWN) online tools available to growers,” says Adnan Akyuz, North Dakota state climatologist and professor of climatological practice at NDSU. “This model will help growers judge their risks associated with a projected soybean maturity and frost dates.”

In North Dakota, soybean varieties with a relative maturity (RM) rating of 00 are adapted for production in the most northern parts of the state, while group 0 and the early group 1 are adapted for the southern part of the state.

Each variety is classified with a 0 to 9 decimal number following the group number. A variety designated as 0.1 could be grown in the northern part of the 0 RM zone, while a 0.9 RM variety can be grown in the southern part of the 0 maturity zone.

Soybean growth stages are divided into vegetative and reproductive.

“The soybean development stage with one pod on the CONTINUED ON PAGE C17

##### A herd of sixty cows is capable of producing a ton of milk in less than a day.

main stem with a mature color is called ‘beginning maturity,’ or R7,” says Hans Kandel, NDSU Extension Service agronomist. “The R8 stage is defined as 95 percent of the pods on the plant having reached the mature color and is called full maturity.”

The new model predicts the maturity at the R8 growth stage and is based on growing degree days (GDD), also called growing degree units. This model was developed to predict the soybean maturity date (R8) based on accumulated GDD from the planting date.

Based on 1,816 data points, a regression analysis was performed that predicted 1,694, 1,890 and 2,058 average GDD to maturity for 00.8, 0.5 and 1.1 RM soybeans, respectively.

Northern soybean cultivars are limited in growth duration due to the short growing season. Soybean plants may show freeze damage when the air temperature falls below 32 F, and in North Dakota, a killing frost is possible in the second half of September. Therefore, selecting varieties that will be mature before the fall freeze is important for growers.

For model predictions, agriculturists can select the RM for a variety, date of planting and nearest NDAWN station to estimate the maturity date. The output provides the predicted maturity date, as well as average first day of various frost risks.

Wet or dry conditions may influence how quickly the crop matures in the fall, and therefore, the predicted maturity date for this model may be slightly different, depending on the late-season weather conditions.

The new GDD model can be found at https://ndawn.ndsu. nodak.edu/soybean-growing-degree-days.html.

Are you ready for sunny days?

By Julie Garden-Robinson, Food and Nutrition Specialist, NDSU Extension Service As I unpacked my suitcase from my recent trip to South America, I realized I went a little overboard on mosquito protection and sunscreen.

After my trip, I still had three bottles of sunscreen. I also had two cans of heavy-duty mosquito spray to fend off potential Zika virus-carrying mosquitoes.

I was only gone a week, by the way. My suitcase was quite heavy, but no bugs or sunbeams were able to harm me.

I came home as pale and bug bite-free as I left.

However, I forgot to bring a hat with me on my trip. One day while we were on a tour and the sun was blazing on us, I thought my hair was about to ignite. I never had felt such intense sun rays. I was much closer to the equator than usual.

Next time, a hat goes in my suitcase, along with a more moderate amount of sunscreen and bug spray.

Most of us love the sunny summer months when we can work and play outdoors. Maybe you enjoy working in a garden, riding bike, playing golf, fishing, boating, swimming or sitting in a lawn chair relaxing. We need to treat the sun with respect, though.

About 3.5 million cases of non-melanoma skin cancers are diagnosed annually in the U.S. An estimated 73,000 cases of melanoma, which is the deadliest form of skin cancer, are diagnosed annually in the U.S. People who are fair-skinned; have blonde or red hair, freckles or moles; take medications that make them sensitive to light; and/or those with a family history of skin cancer are more at risk.

We are entering a time with plenty of sunshine coming our way. We all enjoy the greenery of nature made possible by sunlight, soil and water. However, we need to protect our skin and eyes from damaging rays of the sun.

Sunscreen is vital. Check out the sun protection factor (SPF) on sunscreen bottles. Most sources recommend sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher. Sunscreens with a higher SPF offer more protection.

Be sure to apply plenty of sunscreen (about 1 ounce per application) and get help as needed to apply sunscreen to your back, for example. Reapply sunscreen every two hours or more often if you are swimming or perspiring.

When you purchase sunscreen, look for an expiration date.

If it does not have an expiration date, label the bottle with the date of purchase and use within three years.

Be sure to follow these sun safety recommendations, too: • Seek shade, especially during the midday hours from 10 a.m. to 4-p.m.

• Wear sunscreen even if you are under a protective umbrella or shady tree, or while driving in your car on a summer road trip.

• For best sun protection when outdoors, wear longsleeved clothes and pants made from tightly woven fabric.

• Be sure to wear a wide-brimmed hat made from fabric with a tight weave to shade your eyes and protect your neck and ears.

• Wear high-quality sunglasses that protect your eyes from UV (ultraviolet)-A and UV-B rays. Exposure to UV rays is linked with macular degeneration, which is the leading cause of vision loss as we age. Cataracts (a clouding of the cornea) and skin cancer on the eyelids also are linked to unprotected exposure to sunlight.

Although we might be tempted to visit indoor tanning beds, they are linked to skin cancers, including melanoma, basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) includes tanning beds on its list of known human carcinogens.

If you want to add a little color without the risk, be aware the FDA considers self-tanning lotions containing dihydroxyacetone (DHA) to be safe, as long as the lotion is not consumed or placed close to the mouth, nose and eyes. The government agency also cautions that most sunless tanners do not contain sunscreen, so you could become sunburned.

Remember that your skin is your body’s largest organ to protect and nourish. We all need to nourish our skin with plenty of water, plus a varied and colorful diet. Here’s a tasty, antioxidant-rich and colorful recipe made with seasonal fresh fruit.

Visit the Nourishing Boomers and Beyond website at http://www.ndsu.edu/boomers for more information about nourishing and protecting your skin all year. The website includes some interactive games and an app to get you thinking about sun safety.

Waffle Bowl Parfait 1 (10-pack) waffle bowls 3 c. sliced strawberries 2 c. grapes, cut in half 2 c. blueberries 1 (16-ounce) container nonfat vanilla Greek yogurt 3 Tbsp. + 1 tsp. melted chocolate chips Prepare fruit as directed, then mix gently in a bowl. Pour 1 teaspoon melted chocolate on the bottom of each bowl; let cool. Cover the chocolate bottom with sliced strawberries.

Place 1/3 c. yogurt over strawberries. Top the yogurt with about 1/2 c. mixed fruit. Chill in the freezer for half hour or serve right away.

Got quackers?

A duck walks into a bar and asks the bartender for some quackers. The bartender explains that the bar doesn’t have any quackers.

The next day, the same duck walks into the bar and asks the bartender for some quackers. The bartender again explains that the bar doesn’t serve quackers.

Sure enough, the very next day, the duck again walks into the bar and asks for some quackers. The bartender screams at the duck, “If you come in here one more time, I’m going to nail your beak into the wall with a hammer and some nails!”

A few days pass, and then the duck walks into the bar again. The bartender notices the duck and says, “I’m warning you!”

The duck replies, “Do you have a hammer?”

The bartender replies, “No!” The duck asks, “Do you have nails?”

The bartender replies, “No!” The duck grins and asks, “Do you have any quackers?”

Farm manager joins UW SAREC

By University of Wyoming Extension Kevin Madden began April 30 as farm manager at the James C. Hageman Sustainable Agriculture Research and Extension Center (SAREC) near Lingle.

Madden brings experience as an owner, operator and manager of a family production farm and ranch in Potter, Nebraska, said SAREC director John Tanaka.

Madden will manage irrigated and dryland crops, rangelands, and livestock at SAREC. He will also help coordinate off-site research and extension activities on the center.

“He is a good fit,” Tanaka said.

SAREC is now growing corn, sugar beets, wheat, dry beans, alfalfa, millet and barley, as well as pollinator flowers, cool season grasses, quinoa, fenugreek and cover crops.

A small cow-calf herd and feed cattle are maintained at SAREC for livestock research, including blue tongue disease in cattle and several feed efficiency trials.

“In Nebraska, Madden produced similar crops on dryland and center pivot irrigated acres similar in size to SAREC,” said Tanaka. “He raised livestock as a commercial cow calf producer, small feeder, and breeder of American Quarter Horses for ranch work and pleasure,” he said.

Madden earned a diploma in center pivot sprinkler irrigation service/installation from Western Nebraska Technical College in Sidney and holds a Nebraska special electrician irrigation equipment license. He has also worked as a federal crop insurance adjuster.

Madden’s involvement with youth programs includes 4-H, Odyssey of the Mind and Destination Imagination programs to promote creative and critical thinking, and the Cheyenne County, Nebraska, fair and rodeo royalty program.

For more information, contact Madden at 307-837-2000 or kmadden1@uwyo.edu. ##### The Horse on the Wyoming license plate has a name, “Old Steamboat”. It is named after a bronc that could not be ridden back in the early 1900’s.

By Bruce Nelson, Montana FSA Executive Director The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Farm Service Agency (FSA) requires farmers and ranchers participating in our programs to submit an annual report on all cropland use on their farms. Crop insurance agents for providers approved by the USDA Risk Management Agency (RMA) also require these reports to ensure accuracy with your premiums and when you file claims.

Yet for years, farmers and ranchers have entered the same basic common information from their acreage reports at these two different places.

No longer. Now, farmers and ranchers can provide the common information from their acreage reports just once - - either to FSA or to their crop insurance agent - - and that common information will be securely and electronically shared with the other.

This new process is part of USDA’s Acreage Crop Reporting Streamlining Initiative (ACRSI), an interagency collaboration to streamline the collection of common information to better serve our customers.

Over the past seven years, USDA implemented new ways to help farmers and ranchers conduct business with us more efficiently and effectively. Instead of farmers and ranchers juggling 54 acreage reporting dates for RMA that covered 122 crops, or 17 acreage reporting dates for FSA covering 273 crops, USDA established 15 common acreage reporting dates. These improvements, coupled with filing your common acreage report information in just one place, will not only save you time, but increase the accuracy in your crop reporting data.

More than 93 percent of all annual reported acres to FSA and RMA now are eligible for this common data reporting, and USDA is exploring adding more crops. Although you must still visit both offices to validate and sign their respective acreage reports, complete maps or provide programspecific information, the common data from your first-filed acreage report will now be available to pre-populate and accelerate completion of the second report, eliminating redundant reporting. In the coming months and years, USDA will continue to build upon this framework. In fact, already we anticipate that some insurance providers will allow reporting to include precision agriculture geospatial data from a producer’s planter along with regular crop and acreage information, and that third parties may begin designing electronic tools to assist with the reporting.

Since 2009, these are the types of targeted investments that USDA has made to help spur growth in the rural economy, make farming and ranching even better and help you achieve your personal version of the American dream. We hope you will explore participating this spring in our new streamlined acreage reporting initiative.

Bruce Nelson, a fourth-generation Montanan and wheat farmer, is the Executive Director for the USDA Farm Service Agency in Montana. He can be reached at 406.587.6872 or bruce.nelson@mt.usda.gov.

international, peer-reviewed journal published weekly by the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS).

Peters is a professor in MSU’s Department of Chemistry and Biochemistryin the College of Letters and Science. Keable, originally from Minnesota, is a doctoral student in Peters’ laboratory.

“This research is important because industrial nitrogen fixation to produce fertilizer consumes approximately 1 to 2 percent of the total annual world energy output,” Keable said. “By improving our understanding of the mechanisms of biological nitrogen fixation, we may be able to mimic nature and produce fertilizer.”

Keable’s involvement in the newly published study built on work he did in Peters’ laboratory, first as a technician and then as a doctoral student who received a 2015 Graduate Student Research award from the U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Science. The award allowed Keable to conduct research at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Oak Ridge, Tennessee as part

of an overall effort to better understand the mechanisms of enzymes important for producing bioenergy.

Peters, among other things, heads up the Department of Energy-supported Biological Electron Transfer and Catalysis (BETCy, pronounced “Betsy”) Energy Frontier Research Center based at MSU. He and 10 other principal investigators from six universities across the country and the National Renewable Energy Lab launched the center in 2014. It is one of 32 DOE centers in the United States.

Some of the colleagues in that center were members of the team that published their findings in “Science.” Besides Peters and Keable, the authors were Katherine Brown and Paul King from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory in Golden, Colorado; Derek Harris, Andrew Rasmussen, Nimesh Khadka and Lance Seefeldt from Utah State University in Logan; and Molly Wilker, Hayden Hamby and Gordana Dukovic from the University of Colorado in Boulder.

Quarterly hogs and pigs

United States inventory of all hogs and pigs on June 1, 2016 was 68.4 million head.

This was up 2 percent from June 1, 2015, and up 1 percent from March 1, 2016. This is the highest June 1 inventory of all hogs and pigs since estimates began in 1964.

Breeding inventory, at 5.98 million head, was up 1 percent from last year, but down slightly from the previous quarter. Market hog inventory, at 62.4 million head, was up 2 percent from last year, and up 1 percent from last quarter. This is the highest June 1 market hog inventory since estimates began in 1964.

The March-May 2016 pig crop, at 30.3 million head, was up 3 percent from 2015.

This is the largest March-May pig crop since 1971.

Sows farrowed during this period totaled 2.90 million head, up 1 percent from 2015.

The sows farrowed during this quarter rep-

resented 48 percent of the breeding herd.

The average pigs saved per litter was a record high 10.48 for the March-May period, compared to 10.37 last year. Pigs saved per litter by size of operation ranged from 8.10 for operations with 1-99 hogs and pigs to 10.50 for operations with more than 5,000 hogs and pigs.

United States hog producers intend to have 2.95 million sows farrow during the June-August 2016 quarter, down 2 percent from the actual farrowings during the same period in 2015, and down 1 percent from 2014. Intended farrowings for SeptemberNovember 2016, at 2.90 million sows, are down 1 percent from 2015, and down 3 percent from 2014. The total number of hogs under contract owned by operations with over 5,000 head, but raised by contractees, accounted for 47 percent of the total United States hog inventory, up from 46 percent last year.

All inventory and pig crop estimates for June 2015 through March 2016 were reviewed using final pig crop, official slaughter, death loss, and updated import and export data. The net revision made to the December 2015 all hogs and pigs inventory was 0.8 percent.

A revision of 1.9 percent was made to the SeptemberNovember 2015 pig crop. A revision of 0.3 percent was made to the March 2016 all hogs and pigs inventory.

Two approaches to enhancing tomato flavor

By Dennis O’Brien, Agricultural Research Service Two Agricultural Research Service (ARS) scientists in Fort Pierce, Florida, have taken different approaches to enhancing the flavor of tomatoes.

ARS plant physiologist Jinhe Bai and his colleagues at the U.S. Horticulture Research Laboratory studied the effects of refrigerating tomatoes and dipping them in hot water to make them easier to peel—a practice known as “blanching.”

Bai and his colleagues divided 60 tomatoes into three groups—refrigerating one group, keeping a second group at room temperature and dipping the third group in 122 F water for 5 minutes to simulate blanching. They then used gas chromatography and an “electronic nose” to measure 45 volatile compounds associated with flavor released when the tomatoes were cut up.

The results showed that refrigeration greatly reduced 25 of 42 aroma compounds and reduced volatile levels overall by 68 percent. Blanching also greatly reduced 22 of 42 compounds and reduced volatile levels overall by 63 percent.

The results spell out why it is better to store tomatoes—and wash them before use—at room temperature.

Elizabeth Baldwin, an ARS horticulturist and research leader in Fort Pierce, wanted to find tomato breeders interested in developing varieties with enhanced flavor. She also wanted to identify varieties and growing seasons best suited to two of Florida’s major tomato production areas.

She and her colleagues raised 38 types of tomatoes over seven years in south Florida and west-central Florida, timing production for harvest in March, June and December.

They used human taste-test panels to evaluate flavor and measured the tomatoes’ sugars, acids and 29 key aroma compounds.

The results showed that the tomatoes needed to contain a certain amount of acids to have adequate flavor and that the more sugar they contained, the better they tasted. Tomatoes harvested in June had more sugar and fruity volatiles than those harvested in December, probably because they received more sunshine. Tomatoes harvested in March ranked in the middle in flavor.

Read more about tomato flavor research in the May 2016 issue of AgResearch (http://agresearchmag.ars.usda. gov/2016/may/tomato/).

UI Extension specialist wins national award

By University of Idaho News University of Idaho (UI) Extension specialist Lori Higgins received a national level award from the National Association of Community Development Extension Professionals (NACDEP). Higgins received the Innovation and Creativity Team Award for work on “Ripple Effects Mapping: Engaging participants in capturing results and untold stories of success.” Other members of the team include Scott Chazdon of Minnesota, Mary Emery of South Dakota, Lynette Flage of North Dakota, and Debra Hansen and Rebecca Sero of Washington.

Measuring condition change is challenging for all Extension programs, and very challenging for documenting change in economic and community development. Ripple Effects Mapping (REM) is a group participatory evaluation strategy for developmental and impact evaluation. The method engages program participants and stakeholders to retrospectively and visually map the chain of effects resulting from a program or complex collaboration. It is a highly participatory method, treating program stakeholders as integral, active participants in the evaluation process, rather than as passive recipients of program evaluation results. REM is engaging and interactive, iterative and conclusive, and is adaptable to unique contexts.

N.D. farm income declines for 3rd consecutive year

By NDSU Extension Service Average net farm income declined for the third consecutive year in North Dakota to the lowest level since 1998.

This occurred despite generally strong yields, with spring wheat reaching an all-time high, the second highest annual profit for the beef cow-calf enterprise, an increase in government payments and slightly lower crop production costs.

Lower crop prices overwhelmed the positives and pushed profit down to the lowest level in nearly two decades.

The average farm profit for 525 farms that were in the 2015 North Dakota Farm Business Management education program state report was $28,600, compared with $76,404 in 2014 and $133,466 in 2013.

Median net farm income, probably a better measure of the typical farm, was $18,999, compared with $54,666 in 2014 and $91,650 in 2013. Net farm income is measured in accrual terms. It includes changes in inventories.

The average size of these farms was 2,371 acres, of which 533 acres were pasture. The average age of the farm operator and number of years farming were 45.2 and 21.2 years, respectively.

Financial performance varied across the state according to the profitability of enterprises in which producers were engaged. The statewide average net return per acre on cashrented ground was minus $25 for spring wheat, minus $24 for soybeans and minus $50 for corn.

For smaller-acreage crops, it was minus $27 for canola, minus $25 for pinto beans, minus $14 for flax, $23 for oil sunflowers and a strong $60 to $90 per-acre profit on cashrented ground for barley, confection sunflowers, durum wheat, field peas and sugar beets. For soybeans and pinto beans not to show a profit, on average, is very unusual.

Usually crop farms have greater net farm income than livestock farms, but not in 2015 or 2014. The beef cow-calf enterprise profit averaged $288 per cow and was the second highest ever, although it was a fraction of the $660 all-time high in 2014.

Farm financial measures in 2015 were substantially lower than in 2013. On average, the current ratio dropped from 2.04 in 2013 to 1.45, and the term debt coverage ratio declined from 1.40 to 0.60 during the past two years.

In 2015, the rate of return on equity was less than the rate of return on assets, which indicates that debt capital was not employed profitably. The average rate of return on equity, minus 1.7 percent, and the rate of return on assets, 0.5 percent, were extremely low. The average of the previous 10 years was 13.3 and 9.9 percent, respectively.

The average farm borrowed $562,007 during the year and made principal payments of $513,173, thereby increasing farm debt by nearly $50,000 per farm. The relationship between debt and assets (solvency) deteriorated in 2015.

Capital purchases have declined because of the sharp drop in net farm income. Average purchases of machinery, equipment and buildings such as grain and machinery storage and farm shops dropped to $76,996 in 2015, compared with $121,488 in 2014 and $194,064 in 2013.

Total government payments, including conservation incentive programs, received in 2015 averaged $27,301 per farm, compared with $15,495 in 2014. A year lag occurs in commodity-based safety net program payments under the 2014 farm program. Payments that will be received in the last quarter of 2016, based on the 2015 crop year, will be higher.

Similar to 2014, the finding that the least profitable farms were larger than average was unusual. The least profitable 20 percent of farms had negative net farm income of minus $141,049 on 2,614 crop and 424 pasture acres.

The 20 percent, or one-fifth, of the most profitable farms had an average net farm income of $214,214 and were slightly larger, at 2,770 crop and 684 pasture acres.

The remaining farms, the middle 60 percent profit group, had average net farm income of $23,278 but were much smaller at 1,260 crop and 519 pasture acres.

It is a very practical contest that at the recent National Land and Range Judgtests the youths’ memory while giving them ing Contest in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. a chance to see another part of the country.”

The Traill-Cass County team, of which Lardy is a member, was the 4-H reserve national champion range judging team.

The other team members are Shelby Sedivec, Kyra Sedivec and Amy Anderson.

The Kidder-Oliver County team, with members Monica Fitterer, Michelle Fitterer and Rebecca Schmidt, was the other North Dakota team that competed in the range judging contest.

Both teams brought back other team and individual awards. They were: • Kidder-Oliver County team - fourth in 4-H team competition • Monica Fitterer - fourth place individual • Shelby Sedivec - seventh place individual The youth were required to identify 20 plants, then answer whether the plants are annual, biannual or perennial; whether they are native to the area, were introduced or are invasive plants; and if they provide food or cover for bobwhite quail and are desirable food for beef cattle.

The contest also required the youth to evaluate three ecological sites and determine the health or condition of the plant community and the value, or rating, for beef cattle and habitat for bobwhite quail.

Preparing for this competition was rigorous but fun, according to Rick Schmidt, one of the coaches for the Kidder-Oliver team and a North Dakota State University (NDSU) Extension Service agent for Oliver County.

“The youth learned over 100 plants, of which most don’t grow in North Dakota,” he says. “So we spent four days walking the landscape of Oklahoma prior to

NDSU equestrian teams finish season strong

By NDSU Extension Service The NDSU hunt seat equestrian team takes third place in zones competition hosted by West Texas A&M. Pictured are, from left, front row: Bryn Halley, Hailey Aagard, Kayla Young and Morgan Samuelson; back row: Nick Scarberry, Bridget Kackos, Mattia Gunkelman, Rebecca Prasch, Emma Ballard and Dana Williams. (Photo courtesy of Mattia Gunkelman) North Dakota State University’s (NDSU) Western and hunt seat equestrian teams ended their season this spring on a high note, with wins in national and zone competition.

Western Courtney Bolstad, a senior from Fergus Falls, Minnesota, placed eighth in intermediate horsemanship at the Intercollegiate Horse Show Association (IHSA) National Show earlier this month in Lexington, Kentucky. She won her trip to nationals by placing fourth in semifinal competition at the University of Findlay (Ohio) in March.

Megan Haugen, a junior from Larimore, and Sarah Garrison, a junior from White Bear Lake, Minnesota, also represented NDSU at the IHSA semifinals. Both received honorable mention. Haugen won hers in intermediate horsemanship, and Garrison’s was in novice horsemanship.

All three were named champion or reserve champion at regional competition at the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities in February, which allowed them to advance to the semifinals.

Hunt Seat The NDSU team finished in third place overall in zones competition hosted by West Texas A&M in Canyon. Six NDSU riders represented the team in the team competition and four riders competed individually.

Here are the results from the team and individual classes: Team • Kayla Young, sophomore, Plymouth, Minnesota - fourth in open fences and fourth in open flat • Morgan Samuelson, sophomore, Cologne, Minnesota first in intermediate fences and first in intermediate flat • Nick Scarberry, junior, Fargo - fourth in novice fences • Dana Williams, junior, Vacaville, California - third in novice flat • Bridget Kackos, freshman, Neversink, New York - fourth in walk/trot/canter • Emma Ballard, freshman, Pelican Rapids, Minnesota fifth in walk/trot Individual • Rebecca Prasch, junior, Lino Lakes, Minnesota - ninth in open fences • Young - sixth in open flat • Hailey Aagard, senior, Wadena, Minnesota - sixth in walk/trot/canter • Bryn Halley, senior, Langdon - ninth in walk/trot NDSU earned its spot in the team competition by winning the High Point Regional Team Award for Zone 7 Region 3.

“We are very proud of both teams and the great achievements they made this year,” says their coach, Tara Swanson.

“This is the first time ever for NDSU to win the region in hunt seat and compete as a team at zones.

“The team’s success is a representation of the time, hard work and dedication each team member commits throughout the year,” she adds. “We want to thank the seniors for their leadership this year. We are excited to see what next year has in store for the team.”

A magician was working on a cruise ship in the Caribbean . The audience would be different each week, so the magician allowed himself to do the same tricks over and over again.

There was only one problem: The captain’s parrot saw the shows every week and began to understand what the magician did in every trick. Once he understood that, he started shouting in the middle of the show.

“Look, it’s not the same hat!”

“Look, he’s hiding the flowers under the table!”

“Hey, why are all the cards the Ace of spades?”

The magician was furious but couldn‘t do anything, it was the captain’s parrot after all.

One day the ship had an accident and sank. The magician found himself on a piece of wood, in the middle of the ocean, and of course the parrot was by his side. They stared at each other with hate, but did not utter a word.

This went on for several days. After a week that parrot finally said: “Okay, I give up. What’d you do with the boat?”

Loans for portable farm storage, handling equipment

U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) will provide a new financing option to help farmers purchase portable storage and handling equipment. Farm Service Agency (FSA) Administrator Val Dolcini and Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) Administrator Elanor Starmer announced changes to the Farm Storage Facility Loan (FSFL) program during a local and regional food roundtable in Columbus, Ohio. The loans, which now include a smaller microloan option with lower down payments, are designed to help producers, including new, small and mid-sized producers, grow their businesses and markets.

“As more communities reconnect with agriculture, consumer demand is increasing for food produced locally or regionally,” said Dolcini. “Portable handling and storage equipment is vital to helping farmers get their products to market more quickly and better maintain product quality, bringing them greater returns. That’s why we’ve added this type of equipment as a new category for our Farm Storage Facility Loan program.”

The program also offers a new “microloan” option, which allows applicants seeking less than $50,000 to qualify for a reduced down payment of five percent and no requirement to provide three years of production history. Farms and ranches of all sizes are eligible. The microloan option is expected to be of particular benefit to smaller farms and ranches, and specialty crop producers who may not have access to commercial storage or on-farm storage after harvest. These producers can invest in equipment like conveyers, scales or refrigeration units and trucks that can store commodities before delivering them to markets. Producers do not need to demonstrate the lack of commercial credit availability to apply.

“Growing high-value crops for local and regional markets is a common entry point for new farmers,” said Starmer.

“Since they often rent land and have to transport perishable commodities, a loan that can cover mobile coolers or even refrigerated trucks fills an important gap. These producers in turn supply the growing number of food hubs, farmers markets or stores and restaurants interested in sourcing local food.”

Earlier this year, FSA significantly expanded the list of commodities eligible for Farm Storage Facility Loan.

Eligible commodities now include aquaculture; floriculture; fruits (including nuts) and vegetables; corn, grain sorghum, rice, oilseeds, oats, wheat, triticale, spelt, buckwheat, lentils, chickpeas, dry peas sugar, peanuts, barley, rye, hay, honey, hops, maple sap, unprocessed meat and poultry, eggs, milk, cheese, butter, yogurt and renewable biomass. FSFL microloans can also be used to finance wash and pack equipment used post-harvest, before a commodity is placed in cold storage.

AMS helps thousands of agricultural food producers and businesses enhance their marketing efforts through a combination of research, technical services and grants. The agency works to improve marketing opportunities for U.S. growers and producers, including those involved in specialty crop production and in the local and regional food systems.

Visit www.ams.usda.gov to learn more about AMS services.

This announcement will further advance the efforts of USDA’s Know Your Farmer, Know Your Food initiative, which coordinates the Department’s work to develop local and regional food systems. USDA is committed to helping farmers, ranchers, and businesses access the growing market for local and regional foods, which was valued at $12 billion in 2014 according to industry estimates. Under this Administration, USDA has invested more than $1 billion in more than 40,000 local and regional food businesses and infrastructure projects. More information on how USDA investments are connecting producers with consumers and expanding rural economic opportunities is available in Chapter IV of USDA Results on Medium.

To learn more about Farm Storage Facility Loans, visit www.fsa.usda.gov/pricesupport or contact a local FSA county office. To find your local FSA county office, visit http://offices.usda.gov. ##### If a horse gets loose, herd instincts may keep it from running too far away from other horses.

Williston Research Extension Center sets field days

By NDSU Extension Service The annual dryland agronomy and horticulture field day at North Dakota State University’s (NDSU) Williston Research Extension Center will be held Thursday, July 14.

The center is 4.5 miles west of Williston on U.S. Highway 2. The event begins with coffee and rolls at 8:30 a.m. CDT. An irrigation field day will be held on Friday, July 15, at the NDSU Irrigated Nesson Research and Development Farm, which is 23 miles east of Williston on North Dakota Highway 1804. Refreshments will be served starting at 8:30 a.m., and the irrigated crop tour will begin at 9 a.m.

The dryland crops tour on July 14 starts at 9 a.m. and will feature NDSU researchers and Extension specialists, who will highlight their work on: • The relationship among crop rotations, diseases and beneficial soil organisms • Weed control in small grains • Crop rotations for improving soil health • Crop rotations/soil amendments for reclamation of cropland impacted by pipeline installation • Nozzle size selection for drift reduction • Cereal and broadleaf crop variety testing at the center • NDSU barley for western North Dakota The horticulture program also starts at 9 a.m. July 14 in the Williston Research Extension Center’s Ernie French Center for those interested in flowers, gardening and fruit production.

Tom Kalb, an NDSU Extension horticulturalist, will give a presentation titled “Five Steps to a Great Lawn.” A questionand-answer session on lawns, vegetables and flowers will follow that. Also, Kyla Splichal, a research specialist at the Williston Research Extension Center, will speak about the All-America Selections Display garden.

A traditional barbecue chicken luncheon sponsored by area businesses will be served at noon.

A new event, “Stump the Plant Doctor,” will be held during the lunch hour. Guests are encouraged to bring plants, leaves, branches or other plant or tree parts that are damaged, diseased or need identification to see if Williston Research Extension Center staff can identify the problem or plant.

The afternoon session will focus on pulse crops. Topics include: • Production and contracting of peas, lentils, faba beans and cowpeas • Past and future of legume production in the MonDak region (eastern Montana and western North Dakota) • Weed control in pulse crops • Pulse crop diseases • An introduction to the new pulse crop scouting program for western North Dakota The afternoon session will end with an industry panel discussing the market outlook for pulse crops.

Following the field day on July 14, Williston Economic Development, the Williston Regional Economic Development Corporation and McCody Concrete are hosting the Williston Chamber of Commerce Business After-Hours event from 5 to 7 p.m. The reception will be held at McCody Concrete, 14021 Highway 2, Williston, and is open to field day participants.

During the irrigation field day on July 15, NDSU research and Extension specialists will discuss: • Highlights from experiments conducted at the Nesson Valley site • Irrigation research at the Williston Research Extension Center and information on variety trials conducted under irrigation • Irrigation uniformity • Tips for identifying plant injury from spray • High-tunnel vegetable production • Fruit fly research • Potato production and low glycemic potatoes • Irrigated cropping systems research conducted by U.S. Department of Agriculture scientists from the Northern Plains Agricultural Research Laboratory, Sidney, Montana.

The irrigated field day will conclude with a noon luncheon sponsored by area businesses.

For more information on any of the field day events, call the center at 701-774-4315. ##### When I am an old coot... I will pretend to be an inspector from the wildlife commission and go fishing at the hatchery. ##### Even stubborn mules know you have to pull together.

By University of Idaho News The Healthy Eating, Active Living (HEAL) Idaho partners, powered by the University of Idaho (UI) Extension’s Eat Smart Idaho program, have launched a statewide campaign aimed at inspiring Idahoans to eat healthier, lead more active lives, and help their children do the same.

Called “Long Live Idaho,” the campaign runs through 2017 and builds on the national “5-2-1-Almost None” platform, which recommends five servings of fruits and vegetables a day, two hours or less of “screen time,” one hour or more of physical activity, and almost no sugary drinks.

“Parents and caregivers play a major role in children’s health, as role models for healthy eating and activity. If children see their parent or caregiver making healthy choices, they will follow their lead,” said Nikki Telford, community nutrition advisor for Eat Smart Idaho. “This campaign was developed to inspire and encourage adults to make healthy choices for their families.”

Focus group research provided a number of findings that helped shape the campaign. The informal studies showed participants understood the importance of physical activity and nutrition, but were less clear on specific guidelines.

Most indicated they are interested in maintaining a healthy lifestyle, but would appreciate environmental support to help make the healthy choice the easy choice.

“Families are faced with tough decisions every day when it comes to nutrition and physical activity. It is the aim of this campaign to provide Idahoans with user-friendly and supportive messaging to help them make the healthy choice more often in these situations” said Angie Gribble, Physical Activity and Nutrition Program manager for the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare.

The HEAL network is comprised of multiple statewide agencies, prominent Idaho organizations, businesses, and individuals. In collaboration with Eat Smart Idaho, the HEAL Idaho Network creates a strong infrastructure of partners working together throughout the state to distribute healthy lifestyle information.

To request posters and other educational materials, become involved in the campaign or simply get more information, contact Nikki Telford at 208-459-6360 or visit longliveidaho.com About Eat Smart Idaho Eat Smart Idaho is administered by the University of Idaho Extension in the College of Agricultural and Life Sciences.

The program has 30 nutrition advisors who teach classes for limited resource children and adults in 39 counties. It is supported by two USDA grants: Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program Education (SNAP-Ed), in partnership with the Idaho Department of Health & Welfare and the U.S. Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service, and EFNEP (Expanded Food and Nutrition Education Program), in partnership with the USDA National Institute for Food and Agriculture.

More information on Eat Smart Idaho is available at: www.eatsmartidaho.org ##### The Jackalope, thought by many to be a mystical creature, is actually said to exist in Wyoming . One of the rarest animals in the world, it is a cross between a now extinct pygmy-deer and a species of killer-rabbit. ##### Did you know that Idaho has a seaport? The Port of Lewiston allows the exportation of millions of bushels of grain down the Snake and Columbia Rivers for overseas shipment.

You can still file and suspend, even with these changes

By Marian Lark, Social Security Administration You probably heard that changes in the law now affect the way you file benefits. These changes place limits on when voluntary suspension and reinstatement can begin for you and your family members who might also be entitled to benefits on that record. This is not the demise of “file and suspend.” It is still one of your best tools for boosting your Social Security benefit after you reach your full retirement age.

The Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015 made changes to the Social Security claims filed by married couples. The law affected an unintended loophole primarily used by married couples to gain more money.

If you are full retirement age or older and apply for Social Security retirement benefits, you can suspend your benefits for any amount of time up to age 70. You may do this to earn “delayed retirement credits,” which result in a higher benefit payment when you turn 70 or when you request reinstatement of benefits, whichever comes first.

Under the new law, when you submit a request to suspend your benefits to earn delayed retirement credits on or after April 30, 2016, you will no longer be able to receive spouse’s or widow(er)’s benefits during this voluntary delay period. In addition, if you suspend your benefit, any benefits payable to your spouse and children on your record (except for a divorced spouse) will also be suspended for the same time.

There is an exception. A request for voluntary suspension will not suspend a divorced spouse’s benefit. In addition, your divorced spouse can receive benefits on your record during this voluntary delay period.

Remember, you can still plan and make the most of your retirement benefit by filing and suspending. These new rules do not prevent you from doing what is best for you and your family. We have a wealth of retirement information at www. socialsecurity.gov/planners/retire.

For more information and answer to your questions about these changes in the law, go to www.socialsecurity.gov/ planners/retire/claiming.html.

The benefits of dung beetles in pastures

By Jim Stordahl, Clearwater/Polk County Extension Service, Minnesota Dung beetles play a small but remarkable role in the pasture ecosystem. They feed on manure and use it to provide housing and food for their young. This activity results in improved nutrient cycling and soil structure which results in greater forage production. Dung beetles are important enough in nutrient recycling that they well deserve the rancher’s attention.

Dung beetles belong to the zoological order Coleoptera and family Scarabaeidae. Of the more than 90 species in the U.S., less than a dozen are significant in dung burial. Three behavioral groups of the beetles are relevant to manure recycling. Probably the best-known group is the “tumble bugs” or “rollers”. These are so named because of their behavior characteristic of working together in pairs to roll a ball of dung (brood ball) away from a manure pile in order to bury it.

Dung beetles can be various sizes. Adults can range in size from 1/10 inch up to a whopping 2.5 inches. The front legs usually have serrated edges, used for powerful digging.

Scarabs are distinguished from other beetles by the appearance of their antennae, which are segmented and end with a plate-like oval club of three to seven expansible leaves.

These lobes create a large surface area for detecting odors.

Look for these specialized antennae with a magnifying glass.

Adult dung beetles are connoisseurs of manure drawn by odor like that of a fine wine. Many are species-specific—they prefer a certain type of animal manure. They will fly up to 10 miles in search of just the right dung, and can attack dung pats within seconds after they drop. Some species will even hitch a ride near the tails of animals in anticipation of a deposit.

Once drawn by the odor, the adults use the liquid contents of the manure for their nourishment like a “dung slurpie.”

The female, which typically has shorter, thicker legs, digs while the male helps haul the soil from the tunnel. The female lays one egg in each ball. She then seals the brood ball, seals the tunnel, and begins the process again if she is of a species that lays several eggs. Like most species, the women seem to carry the load.

The dung beetle benefits livestock and pasture by helping eliminate other livestock pests. Manure is the breeding ground and incubator for horn flies and face flies. A single manure pat can generate 60-80 horn fly adults if protected from insect predators and competitors such as dung beetles.

As dung beetles feed, they compete with the fly larvae for food and physically damage their eggs. Fly populations have been shown to decrease significantly in areas with dung beetle activity. Research has shown 95% fewer horn flies emerged from cowpats with dung beetles as compared to pats where beetles were excluded.

Dung beetles are also reported to be effective biological control agents for gastrointestinal parasites of livestock. The eggs of most gastrointestinal parasites pass out in the feces of the host. The eggs then hatch into free-living larvae and develop into the infective stage. They then migrate onto grass, where they can be ingested by grazing animals, and complete their life cycle within the animal. If the manure/ egg incubator is removed by beetles, the eggs perish and the life cycle of the parasite is broken.

On a pasture-management level, dung pat removal is beneficial for forage availability. Most ruminants will not graze closely to their own species” manure pats. Research has shown that the forage is palatable, but avoided because of the dung pile. Consequently, cattle manure deposits can make from 5% to 10% per acre per year unavailable. By completely and quickly removing the manure, dung beetles can significantly enhance grazing efficiency.

The tunneling behavior of dung beetles increases the soil’s capacity to absorb and hold water, and their dung-handling activities enhance soil nutrient cycling. An adequate population and mix of species can remove a complete dung pile from the surface within 24 hours. As the adult dung beetles use the liquid component for nourishment and the roughage for the brood balls, the dung pat quickly disappears.

If left on the surface, up to 80% of manure nitrogen is lost through volatilization; by quickly incorporating manure into the soil, dung beetles make more of this nitrogen available for plant use.

Now the bad news. Dung beetle larvae are susceptible to some insecticides used for fly and internal parasite control for cattle. Discontinuing the use of certain insecticides will help increase your population of dung beetles. Indeed, one must consider that any product designed to harm, limit or CONTINUED ON PAGE C47

In search of the perfect steak

By Seth Truscott, WSU CAHNRS Imagine taking your first bite of a $40 rib-eye steak—only to chew on beef that’s as tough as shoe leather. Talk about disappointment!

“A tough steak is not a pleasant experience,” says Frank Hendrix, a WSU Extension Educator and animal scientist.

Hendrix sympathizes with anyone who’s ever gnawed a stringy steak, and is doing his part to make leathery beef a thing of the past.

In a 10-year project to build the perfect beefsteak, Hendrix teamed with fellow researchers in the WSU Department of Animal Sciences to select and breed cattle for extra tenderness using DNA markers.

“American beef is a wonderful product, but its tenderness can be improved,” said Hendrix.

To help, he set out to learn if DNA tools could help selectively breed beef cattle with more tender meat.

Current technology allows breeders to pluck a hair from a cow, look for DNA markers linked to meat tenderness, then assign a tenderness rank. Hendrix bred cows with a top tenderness-ranked bull named “Heritage,” raising the calves under identical conditions on irrigated pasture in Central Washington.

After fattening in a feedlot, he checked the meat from the animals for tenderness using a shear-force instrument which measures the force it takes to slice a piece of steak.

The results showed a significant difference in tenderness between typical beef and steaks from Hendrix’ specially-bred cattle, revealing that tenderness is an inherited trait.

Hendrix has presented his research, “In Search of the Perfect Steak” at research conferences over the past three years, most recently at WSU’s spring 2016 Academic Showcase.

“It’s remarkable that there was such a strong correlation,” said Mark Nelson, Associate Professor in the Department of Animal Sciences, who worked with Hendrix on analyzing results from the shear-force test.

Nelson, who specializes in animal nutrition, is interested in making beef a more functional food, with less saturated, or ‘bad’, fat and more unsaturated ‘good’ fat and antioxidants. Hendrix’ project helps do that, he says. Cattle that are naturally tender are worth more to the farmer, more to the finisher, and more to the customer.

“It’s better beef,” says Hendrix. “The risk of buying a steak that’s way too chewy just won’t be there anymore.”

The benefits of dung beetles in pastures CONTINUED FROM PAGE C46

kill would have some impact on the ecosystem in general, and should be used judiciously. Backrubbers, ear tags, and the occasional use of insecticide dusts and sprays are alternatives that have little or no effect on dung beetles. Another option is to treat cattle during the coolest months of the year, as the beetles and larvae are inactive at those times. Better yet, before treating your animals for internal parasites, take a fecal sample from suspect animals to your veterinarian.

An egg count can help determine parasite load and whether the symptoms you may be seeing in the form of low gains, weight loss, unthriftiness, etc., are truly being caused by parasites.

Controlled grazing systems increase dung beetle populations and varieties by concentrating the manure in smaller areas, thus reducing the time beetles must spend in search of food. Grazing cycles that match the reproductive cycle of the beetles are favorable, as cattle return to grazing cells at the same time that new adults are emerging from the soil.

Watch the length of time it takes for the manure pats to disappear in your pasture. If they remain intact for more than a few days to weeks, chances are your dung beetle population is low to non-existent. Also look for small holes on the surface of the manure pats. Many types of beetle and other insects also help to desiccate the pats. Management is the key to increasing the number and variety of dung beetles and other beneficial insects.

Seven simple tips to prevent tomato disease

By Jim Stordahl, Clearwater/Polk County Extension Service, Minnesota Plants need three factors for disease to develop. The host plant must be susceptible, the pathogen must be present (usually in the soil), and the environmental conditions must be right. This typically involves wet leaves over some period of time.

There are several simple cultural techniques that you can implement before considering chemical treatments.

Fungicides (that innocent looking white dust) are dangerous and are often over applied, so avoid using them until you have exhausted the following cultural options. Why add pesticides to your food when it can be avoided?

Step 1. Begin with a proper crop rotation. This simple practice alone will significantly reduce disease. Do not plant tomatoes where you had potatoes, peppers -- and of course tomato -- last year. Rotation is important and is your first defense in disease prevention.

Step 2. Plant a variety of tomato that is resistant or tolerant to leaf blight, especially if blight has rained on your parade in the past. Sometimes, disease can be prevented simply by variety selection. If you start your own transplants, this information is supplied on the package.

If you purchase transplants, your local garden center horticulturalist will have this information.

Step 3. Do not crowd the tomatoes, lack of air circulation favors disease development. Leaf diseases need longish periods of uninterrupted wetness for disease development, and overcrowding prevents leaf drying.

Use a trellis or cage on plants spaced a minimum of 24 inches apart to keep leaves and fruit off the ground. This aids in the plant drying and keeps the disease inoculum further away from the leaves; remember, the disease inoculum is in the soil. Also, it keeps the fruit cleaner and reduces the incidence of spoiled fruit.

Step 4. This may be the single most important step of all. If you need to irrigate, water the ground, not the leaves. Sprinkler irrigation keeps the leaves wet and splashes the disease inoculum from the soil onto the leaves. Soaker hoses, drip irrigation or careful hand watering are better alternatives.

Step 5. Consider using plastic mulch. Plastic mulch laid on the soil surface prior to transplanting is a common practice in commercial production and works well in gardens too. Commercially available plastic is available in 3’ and 4’ wide rolls in a rainbow of colors. Clear and black are the most readily available to the gardener, but red and green are often available at garden centers. Clear and red mulch will allow weed growth beneath the plastic, unlike the black and green colors. If you need to water the plants, water through the transplant hole. Often, however, the plastic reduces water evaporation so watering is not necessary. Drip irrigation is another option when mulch is used, but increases the complexity of “simple tips”.

Plastic mulch’s other benefit is warming the soil, which significantly increases the yield of warm season crops like tomatoes, peppers and melons. Research in northern Minnesota shows a two-fold increased fruit yield using plastic mulch as compared to bare soil. The increased yield is due to warmer soil temperatures, reduced disease pressure, reduced water evaporation, and greater consistency in water uptake by the plant.

Step 6. Pinch off the “suckers” growing at the leaf axis.

Suckers produce unnecessary foliage and decreases air circulation around the plant. Commercial growers will often leave one leaf beneath the first flower and remove all other leaf from that point and down. This does not make for a pretty tomato plant, but it’s effective.

Step 7. Don’t apply too much fertilizer, especially nitrogen. Excess fertilization promotes succulent leaf growth which is often more prone to disease. My fertility choice is compost, from either manure or other vegetative materials. Compost is advantageous as it provides all the essential elements necessary for plant growth in a slow release form in sync with plant growth.

If you follow these recommendations, you will hopefully enjoy juicy red tomatoes with an added benefit – fruit without pesticide residue.

If all else fails and you’re tempted to use a fungicide, remember that fungicides only prevent new infections, they will not cure existing leaf disease. Fungicides should be applied according to the product label.

Tiny wasp battles big invasive menace

By Sharon Durham, Agricultural Research Service A wispy wasp may pack a potent punch in the fight against the emerald ash borer (EAB), an insect pest that causes catastrophic ash tree losses in the United States.

EAB has wings that are deep emerald green on the outer edge and a body underneath that’s iridescent magenta. Its stunning appearance belies the fact that it is a deadly, nonnative pest that has killed tens of millions of ash trees in North America since its detection in 2002 in Detroit, Michigan, and Ontario, Canada.

The cost of EAB damage is staggering. According to U.S. Forest Service estimates, responses to EAB infestation between 2009 and 2019—including treatment, removal, and replacement of more than 17 million ash trees—could total $10.7 billion.

U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) scientists, along with collaborators at the University of Massachusetts, found a tiny titan—Tetrastichus planipennisi—that can reduce EAB population growth by a whopping 90 percent.

A recent 7-year field study conducted by scientists from the Agricultural Research Service (Jian Duan), the Forest Service (Leah Bauer and Mike Ulyshen), and the University of Massachusetts (Roy van Driesche and Kris Abell) showed that the T. planipennisi released between 2007 and 2010 in central Michigan spread quickly and contributed to a significant reduction in EAB population growth. T. planipennisi parasitizes EAB larvae by drilling through the bark and laying eggs on its host.

The research team observed a 90-percent decline in live EAB larvae in infested ash trees at both parasitoid-release plots and control plots. According to Duan, 7 years’ worth of field data demonstrated that the decline in EAB larvae was correlated with significant increases in EAB larval parasitism, first by native parasitoids, then by T. planipennisi. The study was recently published in the Journal of Applied Ecology.

Wet weather raises nitrogen loss concerns

By Jim Stordahl, Clearwater/Polk County Extension Service, Minnesota Brad Carlson, UM Extension Educator, who works with soils and water quality, shares this week’s timely tip.

Recent, excessively wet weather has raised concerns over the possibility of nitrogen (N) loss in corn for some parts of Minnesota. As the calendar has now turned to June, it’s likely that anywhere from half to all of the applied N, regardless of the fertilizer form or application timing, is in the nitrate form. This conversion is due to soil microbial activity and is fueled by heat and moisture. This is significant, since nitrate is susceptible to environmental loss.

Nitrate will “denitrify” when the soil is saturated. Denitrification is the conversion of nitrate into inert nitrogen gas, which is then lost to the atmosphere. This is also a microbial process that speeds up when the soil is warm. Most recently, the Southern Research and Outreach Center in Waseca reported the 4” soil temperature was at 64° F. Research shows that soils that stay saturated for four days at this temperature will lose approximately 10% of the N present in the nitrate form, and the loss approaches 20% if the soil stays saturated for 10 days.

Additionally, nitrate will leach (move downward) as the water drains away. A rule of thumb for this is that nitrate will travel approximately 6” for every 1” of water that leaves as drainage. It is important to note that these processes will be highly variable across most fields based on local soil and water conditions.

Is there a need for supplemental N? If a significant amount of N has been lost, it is likely that a supplemental fertilizer application will be necessary to reach the crop’s yield potential. The University of Minnesota has developed a worksheet to assist farmers with making supplemental N application decisions for corn. The worksheet can be found at: http://z.umn.edu/supplementaln.

In addition, the worksheet is available as an app for smart phones at: http://z.umn.edu/cropcalc.

Here are a few things to consider before applying supplemental fertilizer: Soils that have been saturated for a long time will in all likelihood have stunted plants with reduced yield potential, so will require less N. In instances where leaching has occurred, it is probable that the N has moved lower in the soil profile; however, it may not be lost, since increased root growth may put the N back in reach of the plant.

There are several new technologies focused on making supplemental (and variable rate) N decisions, and while they hold promise, they are new, and the jury is still out with respect to how well they work.

Additional information can be found on the University of Minnesota Extension’s Nutrient Management home page at: http://www.extension.umn.edu/agriculture/nutrientmanagement.

Sudden Death Syndrome of Soybean

Loren J. Giesler, Extension Plant Pathologist Kyle C. Broderick, Research/Extension Technologist Sudden Death Syndrome (SDS) of soybeans is a soil-borne fungal disease caused

by Fusarium virguliforme. First found in Arkansas in 1971, the pathogen has spread throughout soybean-producing states. It was identified in Nebraska in 2004. This fungus overwinters in soybean residue and in the soil as chlamydospores. Chlamydospores are survival structures that can withstand freezing and a variety of environmental Figure 3. White pith of SDS-infected plant conditions for many years. When soil temperatures begin to increase in the spring, chlamydospores germinate and infect soybean roots. Foliar symptoms are caused by one or more toxins produced by the fungus and translocated to the foliage.

Symptoms Though the fungus infects the plant early in the growing season, foliar symptoms of SDS typically do not appear prior to soybean flowering. Early symptoms at the R3 (beginning pod) and later growth stages consist of the presence of chlorotic (yelFigure 4. Internal taproot discoloration caused by low) spots on the leaves between veins.

Sudden Death Syndrome is favored in high-yield environments. The disease is more prevalent during cool, wet growing seasons and is favored by early planting in cool soils. Hot, dry weather appears to slow disease development, but depending on the growth stage and infections which may have occurred prior to dry weather, it can become severe under these conditions. Heavy rains around flowering promote foliar symptom development. During these wet periods, toxFigure 1.

If environmental conditions are not favorable for the fungus, damage from SDS will be limited.

Management Genetic Resistance: Varieties with resistance or tolerance to SDS should be considered in fields known to be infested with the SDS pathogen.

Cultural Management: Avoid early planting in fields known to be severely affected by SDS. Soil temperatures below 60°F can favor SDS infection. Reducing compaction and improving soil drainage will reduce the risk of SDS. Rotation: Due to long-lasting spores, the fungus can survive in soil without a host for many years and crop rotation does not appear to significantly reduce SDS. Figure 2.

State trust lands map offers Washington insights

By Washington State Department of Natural Resources The Washington State Department of Natural Resources (DNR) has released an updated State Trust Lands map to help citizens see where, and how, these lands are being managed for conservation, recreation and revenue.

“This is Washington’s treasure map,” says Commissioner of Public Lands Peter Goldmark. “These state lands generate money for schools and counties, habitat for native plants and wildlife, jobs for people and space to recreate and enjoy.

In conserving and managing these magnificent landscapes we’re helping to ensure they continue to benefit us all.”

Of the 3 million acres of land managed by DNR, the majority, including state forests, are part of a trust system managed on behalf of schools and counties to provide sustainable revenue. The agency oversees activities such as timber harvests, agricultural and other leases, which generates approximately $170 million per year. The lands are also managed to provide environmental benefit and wildlife habitat, and recreation, including 71 campgrounds and more than 1,100 miles of trails.

The map also highlights another kind of landscape under DNR’s protection; Washington’s most precious natural areas.

These areas, comprising more than 160,000 acres, are some of the last remaining examples of healthy native ecosystems and are often home to rare plants and animals.

Many other facets of the agency’s efforts are covered by the map. It features information on fighting wildfires, recreation volunteerism, work done by DNR volunteers, sustainable forestry across public and private lands, and protection of salmon habitat and clean-up of derelict vessels.

The map also highlights a notable addition – the 50,241-acre Teanaway Community Forest north of Cle Elum.

Last updated in 2010, the new full-color map is 37 by 24 inches. The public may order the map mailed to them for $3.50 from www.dnr.wa.gov/maps, or pick one up in person, for no cost, at one of the following DNR locations: • Natural Resources Building atrium, 1111 Washington St. SE, Olympia, WA 98504 • Northeast Region Office, 225 S.

By Scott Weybright, WSU CAHNRS Washington State University (WSU) researcher Shyam Sablani has received a $450,000 grant to develop plastic packaging that will extend the shelf life of prepared food up to five years.

The packaging would be used for commercial purposes, military rations and space missions. NASA wants a way to store food for five years in anticipation of a trip to Mars.

Metal cans and glass jars are used for packaging shelfstable foods, which are processed with steam or hot water to kill spoilage and disease-causing bacteria. Pioneering WSU technology relies instead on microwaves to kill bacteria in foods. Since metal cans and microwaves don’t mix, and glass is too dense, plastic packaging is preferred.

But plastic affords a shorter shelf life compared to metal and glass because it doesn’t block oxygen and water vapor well. Sablani, an associate professor in biological systems engineering, and his team will incorporate oxygen- and water vapor-absorbing materials into plastic polymers to create better storage bags.

The team includes WSU professor Juming Tang, U.S. Army scientists, researchers at Bowling Green State University and Kuraray America Inc. The grant is from the U.S. Department of Agriculture National Institute of Food and Agriculture.

By Jan Suszkiw, Agricultural Research Service An acoustic trap developed by U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) scientists may offer an environmentally friendly way to control Asian citrus psyllids, gnat-sized insect pests that transmit Huanglongbing, a devastating citrus disease also known as “citrus greening.”

Infected citrus trees cannot be cured and often die within several years. Until such time, they may bear green, misshapen fruit with acidic-tasting juice, making the fruit unmarketable.

Concern over the cost and long-term environmental impact of using insecticides to control psyllid populations in citrus-growing states like Florida has prompted an intensive search for alternative measures, notes Richard Mankin, an entomologist with USDA’s Agricultural Research Service (ARS) in Gainesville, Florida.

To that end, Mankin designed an acoustic trap based on his experience investigating how insect pests use their sense of smell, sight or hearing to locate food and mates. Together with University of Florida graduate students, Mankin decoded the psyllid’s signaling patterns and recreated them with electronics including a buzzer and a microphone.

Many of the traps now used to control crop-damaging insects use chemical attractants, or “pheromones.” Low doses of pheromones can lure pests into traps; high doses can saturate the air so thickly that pests fail to meet and mate. The acoustic trap is different: It mimics the wing-buzzing vibrations male and female psyllids use instead of pheromones to locate and court one another in citrus trees.

In citrus trees, a male psyllid normally crawls to the female after the female responds to the male’s wing-buzzing vibrations. In laboratory studies, however, the trap is also listening to this vibration, and it responds a tenth of a second or two before the female with a fake signal, luring the males into a nearby sticky trap.

Mankin’s team is refining the trap for outdoor testing this summer. Read more about this research in the May 2016 issue of AgResearch magazine http://agresearchmag.ars.usda. gov/2016/may/psyllids/

Pulse Crop Harvest Tips

Buyers for peas, lentils and chickpeas are very demanding on quality. Proper har-vesting can make the difference between getting a premium price as food grade or having them rejected. Taking the time at harvest to watch for the following grade quality factors can make a difference in getting a premium price: Yellow and Green Food Peas Bleach Bleach in green peas is caused by moisture and sunlight at maturity. Green peas should be harvested at high moisture (18%) and air dried to 13-15% (Depending what the processors wants the product at) for storage. Swathing or desiccation is recommended for speeding up harvest.

Bleach in yellow peas is due to green (immature) seed at harvest. This can be avoided by harvesting when the seed has turned color or harvesting areas of the field as they mature.

Damage Several types of damage can result in not meeting food grade standards, which include: Chalkspot: This can be caused by lygus bugs stinging the immature seed or hail damage.

Look for white spots on the seeds—normally if its insect damage it should be most pronounced on the first outside rounds. Check your grain tank regularly and avoid mixing these damaged seeds with the rest of the crop.

Hail damage: Hail on immature seed can cause a lot of staining and spots on the seeds.

If you know you had hail on all or part of the field, keep it separate.

Staining: Staining or dirt tag is the result of weeds or moisture and dirt clinging to the seed.

Avoid harvesting through wet weed patches or when there is dew on the plants.

Disease: Ascochyta and mildew can also discolor the seed.

Mechanical Damage Fragile seeds of peas can easily be dam- aged if the combine and augers are not set or operated properly. The biggest prob- lem in splitting or breaking the seed coats is harvesting too dry.

Peas should be har- vested at high moisture (18 %) and air dried.

Combine settings: Slow cylinder speeds and concave openings large enough to allow the large seeded peas through is most often the method of preventing mechanical damage.  Seed loss is most often associated with seed going over the straw walkers. This loss can be minimized by setting the con- cave closer in the front than in the back to try to dislodge the seed from the straw. If the straw is too tough, it might help to increase cylinder speed. If the loss is over 2-3 bus./ac. (8-12 seeds/sq.ft.) you might have to wait until the straw is dryer.

Maximize the wind speed for peas to remove as much inert material as possible. Peas are very hard to blow over.

Lentils Lentils are very indeterminate in growth and normally require swathing or desicca- tion before harvest. If you are swathing lentils for the first time, it would be every helpful to talk to an experienced grower on how to set up your swather, as this can be an easy or a very frustrating experience. Harvesting lentils at 16% moisture is important to keep the mechanical dam- age to a minimum, then air dry to 14%.

Color is very important in green lentils, as with peas, be ready to harvest quickly and avoid immature areas of the field.

Damage Again, like in peas, monitor your grain tank for any change in quality. Chalk- spot, weed or dirt staining, disease, frost damage and hail are the most common causes of low quality.

Chickpeas Like lentils, chickpeas are very indeterminate in maturity like lentils. They are also very late maturing so most of the time frost kills the plants. Straight cut- ting is the most common method of harvesting if the plants are standing.

Kabuli (large seeded) chickpeas are the hardest to get quality.

These are sold in individual lots and are subject not only to grade but to buyer preferences. Quality could mean the difference of over one hundred dollars per acre. Not only do buyers want bright white seeds, but they also pay according to size. While you can’t control the seed size at harvest you can improve the chances for bright white seeds by monitoring your grain tank often.

Damage Avoid harvesting when the plants are wet with dew to avoid dirt tagging or if staining is occurring due to wet weeds. Keep all changes in sizes and quality separate.

Green seed in samples is to be avoided or reduced by harvesting only the areas of the field that are fully matured. This also applies to diseased areas, drowned out areas or on soil types that could re- duce seed size or quality.

Mechanical Damage: Because of the size of the seed of the Kabuli types, it’s very important to re- duce mechanical damage. Harvesting at 18% moisture and air drying to 15% will help reduce chipping and splitting. Make sure your concave has openings large enough to accommodate the seed size.

Reduce cylinder speeds to the slowest operating speed without slugging the cylinder. Keep augers running full and slow when handling.

Like peas, you can use high wind speeds to keep the inert material to a minimum.

General Comments The key is quality at every step of the production of these crops. Take the time at harvest to observe any change in quality in your fields.

Plan on some surprises and have a plan to keep different grades separated. Your reputation with the buyers is at stake; discuss these quality issues with him. Taking samples of each truckload at harvest will help determine your marketing strategy. Once harvest is complete, don’t forget to monitor the moisture or temperature in the bins.

Following are a few general comments from experienced producers: Storing Pulse Crops—Once harvest is done don’t forget to monitor the moisture or temperature in the bins. Peas and lentils can heat up quickly. A bad bin bottom or top mixed in with good product can cost both the processor and you a lot of headaches and money.

One recommendation from an experienced pea producer was to remove the top 1/4 to 1/3 from each bin when marketing your pulse crops. Instead of emptying one bin take the top product off in each bin before winter. This has helped prevent the molding in bins. Another bin storage problem could be grasshoppers. If you are experiencing high amounts of grasshoppers you will want to pay close attention to your bin in order to prevent the product from rotting.

Unloading Pulse Crops—When unload- ing peas from your combine you will want to slow the combine down to prevent cracking. When the peas are falling from the combine auger to the truck bed make sure that the peas fall freely without hitting any objects on the way down to the truck box.

Augering Pulse Crops—It is recommended by a fellow pea producer that you want to use a large auger with lots of power. The auger speed should be slow. The main thing to remember when handling pulse crops is to handle them as little and with as much care as possible.
