Carbon Conservation District to host Range Days
The Carbon Conservation District, along with the local and state Montana Range Days planning committee, is hosting the annual Montana Range Days event at the Fairgrounds in Red Lodge, Montana, June 19-21, 2017. Montana Range Days began in 1976 in Jordan, Montana, and has continued throughout the years to provide an educational format to youth ages 4-19, as well as adults of all ages, to have an on-the-ground, hands-on learning experience. Rangeland professionals and landowners alike learn new and innovative ways of managing natural resources in Montana. Rangeland is the largest of those natural resources with rangelands, grazable pasture and forestlands covering 70 percent of the state. “We are excited to have this opportunity to educate youth and others about Montana’s rangelands and all our natural resources and to showcase the Red Lodge area,” said Scott Blain, chairman for the local planning committee. Estimating an average of 300 participants each year, this event has reached more than 10,000 people. The value of the increased knowledge and awareness of rangelands in Montana cannot be overstated, Blain said. “Montana Range Days is the premier rangeland educational event in Montana. Montana Range Days plays a critical role in educating, training, and inspiring future natural resource managers.” CONTINUED ON PAGE A2

Department of Agricultural Economics presents annual awards By University of Nebraska-Lincoln IANR News
In April, the University of NebraskaLincoln (UNL) Department of Agricultural Economics awarded Jay Rempe and the late Clayton Yeutter with 2017 Outstanding Alumni Awards. The Nebraska Bankers Association received the 2017 Outstanding Service Award. Jay Rempe received his bachelor’s and master’s degrees from the Department of Agricultural Economics. He is currently the senior economist at the Nebraska Farm
Bureau Federation. Prior to his current role, Rempe was the vice president of government relations. His service to the University of Nebraska includes membership on Department of Agricultural Economics advisory board and the University of Nebraska Water Research Advisory Panel and as a member of several search committees. He is currently working with the department and the Department of Biological Systems Engineering to develop the inaugural Agricultural Economics and Technology Summit, scheduled for this June in Kearney. Clayton Yeutter earned his doctorate in agricultural economics in 1966. During his decades-long career, he held several cabinet and sub-cabinet level positions. He led negotiations of a U.S. Canada Free Trade Agreement and helped launch the Uruguay Round of trade negotiations, which led to the establishment of the World Trade Organization. As secretary of agriculture, he was instrumental in the passage of the 1990 farm bill. Yeutter was also the president and chief executive officer of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange. In 2015, he made a leadership gift toward the establishment of the Clayton Yeutter Institute of International Trade and Finance. Clayton returned to the University of Nebraska many times during his career to guest lecture and to present seminars. The Nebraska Bankers Association and its members have awarded over $650,000 in scholarships to agricultural banking and finance students at Nebraska. The NBA and the Department of Agricultural Economics established the agricultural banking program in 2005. It was created to prepare college students for a career in agriculture lending and fill agricultural lending roles in rural communities. The program also includes a paid ten-week bank management training internship. Through the internship, students gain banking and agricultural lending experience at a Nebraska bank. The Department of Agricultural Economics at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln is engaged in research, teaching, and outreach in agricultural production, natural resources, rural development and industrial organization.

After hearing about the tremendous wildfires that devastated Kansas and surrounding states this spring, 16-year-old Coalter Littrell of the Clever Clovers 4-H Club in Cut Bank wanted to help. Once Coalter heard about the efforts of Kansas 4-H members to take in orphaned calves and care for them, he began ‘Coalter’s 4-H Calf Bucket Challenge’ as part of his 4-H Junior Leadership project. Coalter collected funds in a calf bucket at a 4-H livestock clinic, at Western Livestock Auction, and at BTI Feeds. In addition, Coalter collected donations from local 4-H clubs and donated half of the proceeds from one of his own yearling heifers as well. $1,100 was raised through the project which will be used to purchase milk replacer, vet supplies, bedding, etc. for the orphaned calves. Coalter would like to thank all those who donated to the Calf Bucket Challenge to make this project a success! Photo by Kari Lewis.

By University of Nebraska-Lincoln IANR News Edgar Cahoon, George Holmes Professor of Biochemistry and Director of the Center for Plant Science Innovation at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln (UNL), has been selected to receive an honorary doctorate from the Faculty of Landscape Architecture, Horticulture and Crop Production Science at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU). The honorary doctorate is typically conferred to researchers outside of Sweden and recognizes outstanding academic achievement and significant contributions to programs at SLU. Cahoon has actively collaborated with scientists in the Department of Plant Breeding at the SLU Alnarp campus for the past decade in the biotechnological development of new oilseed varieties with improved industrial properties. He is currently a co-principal investigator, along with scientists at SLU and Lund University, on the Oil Crops for the Future project funded by the Swedish Foundation for Strategic Research. This project is aimed at developing camelina germplasm with seed oil compositions tailored for high value applications. “I am very thankful for this distinction and am hopeful that it will lead to greater collaboration between UNL and the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences to enhance profitability of crop production,” Cahoon said. Cahoon will receive the honorary doctorate from Anders Carlsson, head of the SLU Department of Plant Breeding, during ceremonies at the SLU Alnarp and Uppsala campuses on October 5 and 7.

Rain, rain go away
By Bruce Auchly, FWP Region 4 Information Officer Back in third grade, I remember reading a story about a little boy who grew tired of rain ruining his weekends. So he chanted: Rain, rain go away. And he got his wish. The sky cleared, the sun came out and in a few weeks it was dreadful; too much heat, everything dried up. We have been tempted to repeat the little boy’s cry this past month as it seemed our soggy weather would never end. Lawns are out of control, picnics are ruined and rivers run muddy. The first two are inconveniences, stuff to talk about in the office. But how do fish survive and find food in muddy waters? Fish are obviously different from you and me, and that’s a good thing.

to many mammals and fish. Bears and dogs are well known for their ability to pick up odors we cannot. But a fish? How do they smell anything underwater? To find out stick your head in a bucket of water and inhale. Okay don’t. Odors are just chemicals that float through the air or water. Fish have olfactory senses just like we do. What they don’t have is a nose. Their smell sensors are in their skin and, in some cases, fins. The same with their taste buds. We can only taste things when they land on our tongue. Depending on the species, fish have taste buds on their lips, their skin, or even their barbels (whiskers), if they have any. Which brings us back to finding food in muddy water. Some fish can taste and smell food even when they can’t see it. Others, like trout that depend more on vision, will either find a bit of clearer water, such as at the mouth of a tributary, or they won’t eat. For a long time, they may not eat. Like up to six months they can go without food. We would be dead in a matter of weeks without food. But fish can hang on till the rain stops, the sun shines and the water clears. And that’s enough to cheer the heart of any third grader.

International Picnic Day
When : Always June 18 Today is a perfect day to go outdoors and have a picnic. It can be in a park, or right in your back yard. Picnics date back to Medieval times, when outdoors feasts were held to celebrate a successful hunt. Picnics really grew in popularity during the Victorian Era in England. Picnics are held outdoors from spring through fall. Picnics are enjoyed by everyone. Young lovers with blanket and picnic basket in hand, are a frequent site in parks. Families and groups get together to enjoy picnics to celebrate just about any event, including Memorial Day, Fourth of July, Labor Day and family reunions. As a matter of fact, any reason is a good excuse to have a picnic. Picnic fare commonly includes a meal, snacks and outdoor games. Common picnic foods include hamburgers, hot dogs, macaroni, potato salad and baked beans. But, any foods are fair game for your picnic. We suggest you try something a little different at each picnic. ##### Valentine, a small town of about 3,000 people, gets many requests for cards postmarked from the town on February 14th.

Winter Wheat Variety Performance Summary in Montana
By J. E. Berg, P. L. Bruckner, B. Bohannon, S. Briar, P. Carr, C. Chen, C. Cook, R. Garza, K. D. Kephart, P. Lamb, A.T. Link, J. H. Miller, G. Pradhan, G.V.P. Reddy, R.N. Stougaard, A. Dyer, D. Holen, D. Nash, and H. Rimel
Introduction The agronomic characteristics of winter wheat varieties recently developed or evaluated by the Montana Agricultural Experiment Station are compared in this publication with other varieties grown in the state. Varieties recommended for production in the respective districts of Montana are designated by an R. A brief description of each variety is given which may include a variety’s particular advantages or disadvantages. The information was extracted from the Intrastate Winter Wheat Nursery. This data is prepared by research personnel of the Montana Agricultural Experiment Station. Where available, up to four years of yield
data are shown for the varieties. In some years data are not available because of hail, winter-kill, or other unavoidable causes. Variety Testing Procedures Fig. 1. Test Locations for Montana winter wheat performance tests in 2016.

Montana State University researchers have over the last five years been exploring innovate organic ways to control weeds, increase yields, improve rotations, and integrate livestock into cropping systems at the Fort Ellis Research Station outside of Bozeman. They are ready to share some of their intermediate findings at a field day that is being called “Organic Principles Review” (OPR), to be held June 13, 2017 at the research station and on campus in Linfield Hall. The event is a collaboration of the Organic Advisory and Research Council (OAEC), Montana State University Extension, Montana Farmers Union, and the Montana Organic Association. Presentations by MSU faculty and staff will cover an overview of: Five-year rotation using contrasting systems; crop yield and quality; weed management, including bindweed research; beneficial insects; soil quality and greenhouse gas emissions; assessing climate change impacts; and integrating livestock into cropping systems. In addition presenters will share an economic overview of the systems and discuss ongoing and future organic research initiatives including what the future may hold for food and organic production. The following MSU faculty and staff will be on-hand to discuss their research and answer questions from attendees: Pat Hatfield, Sue Ishaq, Fabian Menalled, Perry Miller, Zach Miller, Anton Bekkerman, Pat Carr, Alison Harmon, Subodh Adhikari, Devon Ragen, and Tim Seipel. Additional OAEC guest
speakers will be Director Ben Thomas of the Montana Department of Agriculture, Chris Christiansen from Montana Farmers Union, and Bob Quinn founder of Kamut International. “The Organic Advisory and Education Council is pleased to be a host of this exciting event,” said Ole Norgaard, OAEC board chair. “We are grateful to see this level of comprehensive organic research being done by Montana State University, focused on developing and refining organic cropping systems and weed control for Montana farmers. The lessons they are learning will be instructive to both organic and conventional producers who are constantly looking for ways to minimize inputs and maximize harvests in efficient and effective ways.” OPR will take place at the Fort Ellis Research Station in the morning, and then further discussions and analysis will be held from on the MSU Campus.

Technology is great, but are we prepared for the consequences?
By Iowa State University of Science and Technology News Service Most Americans have some form of digital technology, whether it is a smartphone, tablet or laptop, within their reach 24-7. Our dependence on these gadgets has dramatically changed how we communicate and interact, and is slowly eroding some of our core principles, said Michael Bugeja, professor and director of the Greenlee School of Journalism and Communication at Iowa State University. Bugeja is not advocating against technology – in fact, he relies on it for his work and personal life – but he says we need to recognize the possible ramifications before it is too late. In his forthcoming book, “Interpersonal Divide in the Age of the Machine,” Bugeja explores what might happen if we allow machines to dictate our life. Those machines range from smartphones to robotics to virtual reality. Bugeja theorizes that because of our reliance on machines, we will start to develop the universal principles of technology, such as urgency, a need for constant updates and a loss of privacy. “We are losing empathy, compassion, truth-telling, fairness and responsibility and replacing them with all these machine values,” Bugeja said. “If we embed ourselves in technology, what happens to those universal principles that have stopped wars and elevated human consciousness and conscience above more primitive times in history?” Need for media and technology literacy Bugeja warns of the dangers associated with adopting these values. The proliferation of fake news is just one example of how this shift is already influencing our culture. Technology provides a continuous connection to our social media feeds, which has become a popular source for news for many Americans. However, social media tends to cultivate news stories that reflect our individual beliefs and values – not a broad spectrum of viewpoints – and is an easy way for fake news stories to spread, Bugeja said. “The business of journalism is already feeling the effect of living in a world of correlation without causation,” he said. “We understand what happened and how it happened, but we don’t understand why it happened.” That’s why Bugeja wants colleges and universities to require students take media and technology literacy courses. He says it is important that students know where to go to find credible news stories, and open their minds to information from a variety of sources, not just those that confirm what they already think or believe. “We need these courses so that people know where to go for facts and how to deal with technology. If you do not assert yourself over technology, it will assert itself over you and you will be doing what the machine asks you, rather than you telling the machine what to do,” Bugeja said. There is no easy short-term fix for the future, Bugeja said, which is why we need to temper our use. He says the longterm solution is through education. Machines are not human It is not just the philosophical and intellectual consequences that have Bugeja concerned, but also the impact of technology on business, behavior and everyday activities. Business and industry increasingly rely on machines or robots to do the jobs of humans. Bugeja says this shift can improve efficiency, safety and the company’s bottom line, but he questions what will happen to those individuals who lose their jobs to machines. Working at a university, Bugeja has witnessed how machines have altered behavior in the classroom, dining hall or when walking across campus. Technology is a distraction that keeps students from focusing on their studies and limits interpersonal interactions, he said. In much the same way, the temptation of responding to an alert from social media or notification of a text message while driving has increased safety concerns. “We introduce new gadgets by saying they will make our lives better, which is true, but there are also dangers,” Bugeja said. The purpose of his latest book is to raise awareness about the dangers of living in a world dominated by machines. He challenges readers, just as he does with students in his class, to balance their use of technology and not feel pressured to respond immediately to an email or text message. The book, published by Oxford University Press, will be available in July. ##### I cook with wine…Sometimes I even put it in the food !

Winter Wheat Variety Performance Summary in Montana CONTINUED FROM PAGE A12
Locations Hard winter wheats were planted at 8 Montana and 1 North Dakota location (Fig. 1) including Carter/Ft. Benton, Conrad and Havre in the North Central district, Moccasin in the Central district, Huntley in the Southern district, Sidney and Williston, ND representing the Northeast district, Kalispell in the Northwest and Bozeman in the Southwest districts of the state. Entries Names of commercially available varieties and experimental lines evaluated in 2016 are listed with their origins, experimental designation, release year, and pedigrees in Table 2 for the hard winter wheats. Forty-nine hard wheats are included in this summary comprising 30 varieties (15 public and 15 private) and 19 experimental lines (18 public and 1 private). Numbered entries preceded by a state designation [e.g. MT1348 (Montana) or private company, PSB13NEDH-14-71, (Limagrain)] are experimental lines provided by the breeder. Experimental Design and Seeding Methods The Intrastate Winter Wheat Test consists of a 49 entry test with 3 replicates. These tests are planted as 7x7 lattices or a randomized complete block design at each location. Plot size varied by location, from 35 ft2 at Conrad to 60 ft2 at Havre. Row number varies: Bozeman and Havre are 3-row,Conrad, Huntley, Carter, and Sidney are 4-row, Moccasin (5-row), Kalispell (7-row), and Williston (8-row) Row spacing at all locations was on 1 ft. centers, except at Williston and Kalispell (6” centers). All plots were seeded at 0.6 grams seeds/ft2, which is roughly equivalent to 1 bushel per acre, except at Williston where the seeding rate
was about 77 pounds per acre. Information on previous crop, planting date, fertilizer use and harvest date is available in Table 1. All seed for each nursery was treated with Cruiser Maxx Cereals seed treatment at recommended rates before planting. Description of Data Collected Yield All rows of each plot were trimmed and measured and harvested using an experimental plot combine. Grain yields are reported in bushels per acre based on a 60 pound standard bushel weight. In addition to yields obtained in 2016, data is provided for two (2015-2016), three (20142016) and four (2013-2016) year averages for hard wheat entries tested during previous cropping seasons Test Weight Test weights (pounds per bushel) were obtained for each plot by using Dickey-John Grain Analysis Computer (GAC) at some locations. Other locations use a Seedburo test weight apparatus. In this case, a sample is dropped through a funnel at a given height into a quart brass bucket, excess grain is removed by a flat stick then weighed on a gram scale, and grams per quart are converted into pounds per bushels. Heading Date Heading date is taken when 50% of the heads in a plot were extended above the flag leaf collar. Heading dates are recorded both in ordinal date (number of days from January 1) and the actual calendar date. Plant Height Plant height was measured, in inches, from the soil surface to the top of the head, excluding the awns. CONTINUED ON PAGE A18
Crop production May 2017
Montana highlights Winter wheat production in Montana, based on conditions as of May 1, 2017, is forecast at 81.60 million bushels, according to the Mountain Regional Field Office of the National Agricultural Statistics Service, USDA. This forecast is 23 percent below last year’s production of 105.35 million bushels and 10 percent below the 91.02 million bushel crop produced two years ago. Acreage for harvest, forecast at 1.70 million acres, is 450,000 acres less than a year ago. Average yield is forecast at 48.0 bushels per acre, down 1.0 bushel per acre from last year’s yield. As of April 30, Montana’s winter wheat crop condition was rated 1 percent very poor, 4 percent poor, 32 percent fair, 48 percent good, and 15 percent excellent, compared with 1 percent very poor, 4 percent poor, 30 percent fair, 50 percent good, and 15 percent excellent last year. Hay stocks on Montana farms and ranches as of May 1, 2017 totaled 870,000 tons, down 15 percent from stocks of 1.03 million tons on hand last year. Hay production for 2016 was 5.13 million tons, 10 percent higher than 2015 production. Disappearance from December 1, 2016 to May 1, 2017 was 3.23 million tons, compared with 2.68 million tons the same period a year earlier. United States highlights Winter wheat production is forecast at 1.25 billion bushels, down 25 percent from 2016. As of May 1, the United States yield is forecast at 48.8 bushels per acre, down 6.5 bushels from last year’s record yield of 55.3 bushels per acre. Hard Red Winter production, at 737 million bushels, is down 32 percent from a year ago. Soft Red Winter, at 297 million bushels, is down 14 percent from 2016. White Winter, at 212 million bushels, is down 13 percent from last year. Of the White Winter production, 16.8 million bushels are Hard White and 195 million bushels are Soft White. All hay stored on United States farms as of May 1, 2017 totaled 24.4 million tons, down 3 percent from the previous May. Disappearance from December 1, 2016 - May 1, 2017 totaled 71.4 million tons, compared with 69.9 million tons for the same period a year earlier.

WSU student on national leadership team
By Scott Weybright, WSU CAHNRS When you’re the fifth generation of your family to grow up on a farm, agriculture is sort of ingrained. “There’s so much you aren’t in control of, it’s up to mother nature,” said Max Mielke, a Washington State University (WSU) senior from Davenport, Washington, who plans to graduate in December. “It’s a lifestyle and I’m drawn to it.” Mielke, who is majoring in Agricultural Economics, hopes to one day take over his family farm from his dad. But before that, he’s taking advantage of being a college student, learning and experiencing as much as he can. As part of that, Mielke has been named one of 10 student advisors from around the country to represent the group Agriculture Future of America (AFA). “It’s a huge honor and responsibility,” said Mielke, who will work as an intern with Northwest Farm Credit Services this summer. “AFA helps students move from school into the ag industry seamlessly and become leaders once they get there.” Mielke got involved with AFA as a senior in high school, when he received a scholarship to attend their annual leadership conference in Kansas City. “It was a little overwhelming, but I learned so much,” he said. “I did a resume workshop with a professional in the ag industry. It was a huge advantage to learn those skills so early.” Since then, Mielke has been to AFA events in cities ranging from Washington D.C. to Des Moines, Iowa, to Sacramento, Calif. “I’ve toured corn fields in Iowa, stockyards in Kansas City, and legislator’s offices in D.C.,” Mielke said. “I’ve gotten so much from my work with AFA, I can’t wait to give back.” He’ll be giving back as part of the student advisory team, which includes students from universities all around the country. The team is planning and will facilitate the 2017 AFA Leaders Conference, held in November in Kansas City. They also represent AFA nationally at other events around the country. That’s on top of their regular schoolwork at their universities. “It takes a lot of time and is a huge responsibility,” Mielke said. “But it’s been the most impactful thing I’ve ever done. It’s huge for my own career development and has opened so many doors for me, I just want to pass that along to more students. I want them to see how helpful AFA is and how much they can gain from it.” Applications for the 2017 AFA Leaders Conference are now open to interested students. ##### Did you know...

Children asked to make healthy-eating posters eat better
By Deann Gayman, University of Nebraska-Lincoln University Communication New research suggests kids may eat more veggies if they become poster children for healthy eating – quite literally, in fact. The study, led by the University of Nebraska-Lincoln’s (UNL) Christopher Gustafson, found that students who were asked to make marketing materials focused on the healthiness of vegetables significantly increased their consumption of those foods. The study was conducted at four elementary schools in Kearney and invited students in one school to design posters about eating vegetables. The researchers found that elementary students who both designed the posters and got to see them displayed in the school lunchroom increased their consumption of vegetables at school by over threequarters of a serving – an increase of more than 100 percent. This eating uptick continued when researchers went back two months later to follow up. “Directly involving students in the design of the materials led to higher consumption of vegetables, more so than if the kids were only exposed to promotional materials,” said Gustafson, assistant professor of agricultural economics at Nebraska. Gustafson said the results help confirm the notion that people who are more involved in decision-making are more committed to that decision. Students who made posters could also be serving as ambassadors to their peers, and establishing positive social norms within the school. “Students creating those promotional materials for healthy foods can help reinforce the message that’s on the poster itself,” he said. Students exposed to the kid-designed posters, but not the designers themselves, also ate more vegetables over time. There was no immediate change in their consumption, but at the two-month follow-up, researchers noted a significant increase. Gustafson said schools could consider adopting similar activities that could pay dividends for students’ health. “Doing this activity with students takes a little bit of time and some coordination, but if kids are more excited about posters they’ve drawn, it’s a pretty low-cost way to promote healthier eating,” he said. The study is forthcoming in the journal Preventative Medicine Reports. In addition to Gustafson, the study was co-authored by Bryce Abbey and Kate Heelan of the University of Nebraska at Kearney.

Grain Protein Grain protein is sampled from a composite of all 3 replicated plots at each location. It is determined as a % by NIR (near infrared reflectance) on the Infratec whole grain analyzer. Samples are adjusted to a 12% moisture basis. Winter Survival Percent winter survival is estimated for each plot after initial spring green-up at locations where significant winter injury occurred. There was no differential winter-kill at either Sidney or Williston in 2016. Table 12 contains information on % winter survival and associated yield in winter-kill environments from 2007 to 2015. The data summarizes 8 tests in which significant winter-kill occurred (test average for winter survival was less than 90%). All sites with winter-kill were in District 6 (Sidney and Williston) which is the most severe location for winter wheat survival of our testing locations. Wheat Stem Sawfly Wheat stem sawfly (WSS) is a persistent and economic problem for wheat growers in Montana. Currently, Montana wheat acreage infested by WSS is primarily in the north central (District 5), central (District 4) and south central (District 3) cropping districts. Host plant resistance in the form of stem solidness has been effective in reducing sawfly losses in both spring and winter wheat. Solid-stemmed winter wheats, ‘Vanguard’, ‘Rampart’, and “Genou’ were leading varieties in the past but are now planted on only minor acreage. Current solid-stemmed varieties include: Judee, (released in 2011, the second leading variety at 18% of planted acreage), Warhorse (2013, the third leading variety at 10%) Bearpaw (2011, 4%), and WB-Quake (2010, 1%). Table 13 contains information on yield and % sawfly cutting at 10 testing locations where sawfly pressure was present during the years 2011-2016. The data is from Havre, Loma (15 miles northeast of Ft. Benton), Turner (60 miles east-northeast of Havre), Carter (13 miles west of Ft. Benton), and Willow Creek (35 miles west-northwest of Bozeman). Solidness scores (rated on a 5-25 scale) are shown for solid and semi-solid varieties in Table 15. Coleoptile Length Coleoptile length evaluation is performed in Bozeman under controlled (growth chamber) conditions. Twenty-five seeds per variety were planted in wetted vermiculite. After 15 days the coleoptile (sheath covering the emerging shoot that helps penetration to the soil surface) is measured. This test is replicated 3 times for each variety. Results from previous years are reported in Table 15. Long coleoptiles are generally longer than 3.5 inches, medium from 2.7-3.5 in, and short are under 2.7 in. Care should be taken not to plant short coleoptile varieties too deep. Other Agronomic Characters
Table 15 contains information on grain maturity, chaff color, relative winter survival and straw strength for the hard wheat varieties listed in this publication. Cereal Quality Milling and baking characteristics for varieties are presented in Table 14. They are rated for each variety on a 1-5 scale (5 = superior). A quantitative polyphenol oxidase (PPO) has been determined for varieties since the 2006 mill and bake evaluation. These varieties are reported in Table 15 as low to high. A lower value is associated with better Asian noodle quality. Disease Reactions Disease reactions for hard red wheat varieties are listed in Table 15. There is information on dwarf smut, stripe rust, stem rust and leaf rust. Statistical Analyses and Interpretation The data collected at each winter wheat location was analyzed as a three-replication lattice or randomized complete block design. Least significant difference at the 0.05 probability level (LSD, p = 0.05) and coefficients of variation (CV) were calculated from analysis of variance at each location. The LSD is used to compare the performance of two specific varieties at a time. If the difference between two varieties exceeds the LSD this is interpreted as a true difference, because a difference between two varieties this large will only occur 5% of the time due to chance. Tables 3 through 11 show 2016 data for hard winter wheat collected at all harvested experiment station sites. Where a variety has been in the test for two, three or four years, combined analyses of the yield data over years are presented. Variety selection should be based on yield stability at a particular location over a period of years. Selection should also consider test weight, winter-hardiness, heading date, plant height, protein and disease resistance. 2016 Test Conditions Statewide winter wheat yields were projected by the Montana Agricultural Statistics Service at 49 bushels per acre (bu/a), for 2016, tying the record set in 2010. This is an increase over the 41 bu/a for the 2015 harvest year. The harvested acreage in 2016 was 2.15 million acres (total production = 105.4 million bu) compared 2.22 million acres in 2015 (total production = 91.2 million bu). Rainfall for the 2015-2016 crop year was generally above average at all locations tested (Table 14), except Bozeman, Kalispell, and Huntley (range = -2.81 inches at Kalispell to +6.76 at Havre). Average yearly temperatures were above long term at all locations, ranging from Conrad (+1.2°F) to +4.2°F at Williston. Yields, for the 9 locations harvested averaged 80 bu/a {range 52 (Williston) to 108 bu/a (Huntley, sub-irrigated)}. Yields of named varieties, across the 9 harvested locations, ranged from a low of 58 bu/a (Jerry) to a high of 91 bu/a for SY Monument. CONTINUED ON PAGE A20

Test weight averaged 60.1 lb/bu across all locations. Kalispell (53.7 lb/bu, rain delayed harvest and stripe rust), Williston (57.4), and Havre (59.9) were below 60 lb/ bu, while the other 6 locations were above. Heading dates were earlier in 2016 than long term averages at 7 harvested locations where comparisons are available. Havre and Williston both at -12 days had the greatest differences, while the least change occurred at Huntley (-4 days). Stripe rust at both Bozeman (average = 25%, range 2 - 87%) and Kalispell (average = 70%, range 22 – 99%) were a factor in yield reduction for highly susceptible varieties (Avery, Bearpaw, Broadview, Byrd, Cowboy, Decade, Jerry, and WB4059CLP). There was sawfly cutting recorded at the Northern Seeds Carter/Ft. Benton site averaging 27%, ranging from 1 (Warhorse) to over 60% (Broadview, Byrd, and T158) of stems cut, across all entries. Protein content averaged 11.1% across all locations (location range = 7.8 – 13.4%) tested. The range of named varieties across all locations was from a low of 10.0% (Avery) to a high of 11.8% (Brawl CL Plus). Increased rainfall and higher than average yields contributed to lower proteins at some locations. Leading winter wheat varieties planted for 2016 were Yellowstone (18.8%), Judee (18.1%), Warhorse (10.0%), Brawl CL Plus (7.3%), Decade (5.0%), and Bearpaw (4.4%). Dwarf Smut (TCK) Dwarf smut (TCK) can be controlled with ‘Dividend’ seed treatment (see page 5). Dwarf smut or dwarf bunt (Tilletia controversa Kuhn) is a fungal disease that occurs in areas where winter wheat is subjected to prolonged snow cover or unfrozen ground. The planting of dwarf smut resistant variet-
ies (Promontory and SY Clearstone 2CL are resistant) is a practical means of control. The amount of wheat lost each year because of dwarf smut is small in relation to the state’s total crop, but individual operators may experience severe losses in heavily infested, localized areas.
Fig. 2. Known areas of dwarf smut (TCK) infestations.
If you farm in the vicinity of one of the shaded areas in the map (Figure 2.), you would be well advised to observe closely your winter wheat crop and consider using seed treatment. What Recommendation by MAES Means Classification of winter wheat varieties is determined on a yearly basis by the Montana Agricultural Experiment Station (MAES) Wheat Variety Release Committee. This 16 member committee is composed of one wheat breeder, one cereal or forage quality scientist, one plant pathologist, one entomologist, one weed scientist, one cropping systems specialist, six Research Center agronomists, one manager from both the Montana Foundation Seed program and the Montana Seed Growers Association, one Montana Wheat and Barley Committee member and one representative of the Montana Agricultural Experiment Station Advisory Board.

Date When Celebrated: Always on June 19th Juneteenth day celebrates and symbolizes the end of slavery in the United States. President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation on September 22, 1862. It was not until June 19, 1865 that all slaves were finally freed.
Juneteenth Day
That concluding event was when General Gordon Granger rode into Galveston, Texas with his troops and issued Order Number 3 which finally freed the last of the slaves. The formal end of slavery was marked by the passing of the 13th amendment of the constitution.

The North Dakota Crop Improvement and Seed Association (NDCISA) has donated $25,000 to North Dakota State University’s North Central Research Extension Center (NCREC) near Minot for a new seed-conditioning facility. “This facility is a long-term investment in North Dakota’s agriculture producers and we thank the NDCISA for their donation,” says Shana Forster, NCREC director. “Once built it will help us meet the current and future needs of the seed industry and serve our clients’ needs.” In the 2015-2017 legislative session, the N.D. Legislature granted $750,000 to the NCREC for the new facility, with permission to raise funds for an additional $1.5 million to contribute to the project. The State Board of Higher Education approved these numbers. An active fundraising campaign is ongoing through the NDSU Foundation and Alumni Association. Groundbreaking on the project is expected sometime this year.

A variety is eligible for recommendation when a minimum of 16 location-years of performance data is obtained from the Montana State University statewide winter wheat performance trials and test results indicate that the variety is equal to or superior in overall merit to specified check cultivars and has end-use quality equal to or exceeding currently recommended varieties. For varieties originating from private companies, recommendation is considered only at the request of the company when adequate data is available. Recommendations of varieties are considered on a case by case basis. Yield performance of a variety is an important criteria, but also considered are test weight, grain protein content, winter survival, pest resistance and end-use quality data. In general, yield needs to be at least equal to currently recommended varieties in a particular district, unless the variety is being recommended for a specific purpose, e.g. winter hardiness, sawfly resistance. For example, Rampart, which is not competitive in the absence of wheat stem sawfly, is recommended in Districts 3, 4 and 5 for sawfly areas only. Only six varieties are recommended for the Northeast district due to severe winter conditions and a higher probability of stem rust in this region. Thus varieties recommended for District 6 must have higher winter survival and stem rust resistance. If a serious defect in the variety is identified during performance testing, the variety will not be recommended. Examples of defects resulting in non-recommendation include: high probability of winter-kill, low
grain protein, low baking quality, etc. Lack of variety recommendation by MAES may occur due to a decision by the originating company not to test the variety in statewide performance trials. In this case the lack of recommendation is due to inadequate or no data rather than a specific varietal defect. Montana produces primarily hard red winter and hard red spring wheats. Continuous improvement of the milling and/or baking quality of Montana grown winter wheat is one of many objectives of the Montana Agricultural Experiment Station breeding and cultivar development program. All varieties recommended by the Montana Agricultural Experiment Station have been evaluated and found to be acceptable for milling and baking performance by the Cereal Quality Laboratory at Montana State University. The quality of Montana recommended varieties, if grown and marketed within their respective classes, is acceptable by domestic users. Montana’s future as a hard red and hard white winter wheat producing state for both the domestic and export markets rests on the quality of the product. Producing Winter Wheat Plant CERTIFIED CLASS SEED of varieties RECOMMENDED by the Montana Agricultural Experiment Station. Seed Treatment Treat all winter wheat seed with a recommended fungicide to reduce losses caused by cereal smut or other seed-borne diseases. Several non-mercurial compounds are registered for grain seed treatment.

Winter Wheat Variety Performance Summary in Montana CONTINUED FROM PAGE A28
Dwarf smut (bunt) can be controlled with difenoconazole. Dividend® contains this compound and is available in Montana. If you farm in a dwarf smut area contact your seed dealer or chemical representative for more information about this seed treatment. See page 4 for known areas of dwarf smut infestations. Diseases are best controlled when all seeds are coated with a seed treatment. Do not over-treat-- Follow recommendation of manufacturer of product as to rate. Truck-mounted seed treaters, which apply the fungicide as the seed is augered into the drill box, do a good job of treating if operated according to manufacturer’s specifications. Drill box treatments are not effective for general use. When using any pesticide materials, read the information on the label as to rate of application, specific uses, methods of handling, precautions, etc. Seeding Rate and Date The following rates and dates for seeding are general (Figure 3). The heavier seeding rate, where indicated, is applicable to plump seed of high test weight (above 60 lbs/bu) or for seed having a kernel size larger than normal for most other varieties. The lighter rates are for the smaller seeded varieties or when test weight is below normal for larger seeded varieties. Seeding rates may be lower if adequate nitrogen and phosphorus amounts are applied at planting. Winter wheat seed lots may vary in the number of seeds per pound depending
on the ratio of large-to-small seeds in a seed lot. The average is approximately 15,000 seeds per pound. A precise count of the number of seeds per pound should be made on your seed lot to help calibrate your drill. You can also calculate how many pounds of seed you will need to plant an acre.
Figure 3. Seeding rate (lb/acre) and date for winter wheat
As to seeding date -- DO NOT SEED TOO EARLY in areas where root rot diseases are prevalent. In areas where Cephalosporium stripe, wheat streak mosaic virus or other root rot diseases have caused losses, delay seeding until the soil temperature in the seed zone will stay below 55oF except for brief periods during the day. In the southern half of Montana, this is usually September 10 to 20. In Districts 5 and 6, plant between September 1 and 15. Cooler soil temperatures slow root development and reduce the probability of winter root injury and invasion by soilborne organisms. To reduce the incidence of root and foot rots, plant winter wheat on land previously seeded to other crops such as barley, oats or spring wheat. Extreme seeding delay, however, reduces seedling vigor and increases chances of winter-kill. CONTINUED ON PAGE A40

By Washington State Department of Natural Resources Even with this wet, rainy spring, wildfire season officially began Saturday, April 15, as specified by state law. “All this snow and rain may delay our fire season, but our forests always face the threat of wildfire,” said Commissioner of Public Lands Hilary Franz. “We’re going to do everything we can to be ready for fire season, and I encourage all our neighbors to do the same. Property owners can reduce fire risk to their homes and lands by keeping dead vegetation off roofs and away from buildings. The Firewise program (http://www.firewise.org/) explains how to use these techniques and offers incentives to communities who follow Firewise principles. Prediction for this summer’s weather is available from the National Weather Service (http://www.cpc.ncep.noaa. gov/products/predictions/90day/). While mountain basins currently have an above average snowpack, the risk of wildfires can change rapidly during spring’s warmer, dryer weather. Among other things, that means people working in the woods or clearing land need to have fire prevention equipment on hand. Last year, more than 16,400 acres of DNR-protected lands were consumed by 807 wildfires. Out of 807 wildfires, 90% were human-caused. Washington’s summer fire rules Washington’s “summer fire rules” are in effect April 15 through October 15. These rules apply to the 13 million acres of private and state forestlands protected from wildfire by DNR. These regulations affect loggers, firewood cutters, land clearers, road builders, heavy equipment operators, off-road motorcyclists, and others. During fire season, people using motorized equipment in the woods must have approved spark arresters and follow fire safety precautions. In addition, those working in the woods must have fire prevention and extinguishing equipment in good working order at the job site and workers trained in proper use. The rules are intended to prevent forest fires and to extinguish small fires before they spread to the forested lands. Those same rules restrict cigarette smoking in forested areas on roads, gravels pits, or other clearings. They also prohibit lighting fireworks on forestland. Stay connected during wildfire season • DNR’s Fire Twitter: https://twitter.com/waDNR_fire • DNR Fire Update: http://www.dnr.wa.gov/Wildfires • Incident Information System (InciWeb): https://inciweb. nwcg.gov Industrial restrictions available by phone and Internet Industrial Fire Precaution Levels (IFPL) may change daily and classify varying levels of potential fire hazard in different parts of the state. People who work in the woods must observe the IFPL. More information is available from the following sources: • DNR’s website at http://www.dnr.wa.gov/ifpl. Click to review regional precaution levels, a map of current shutdown zones, and a copy of DNR’s Industrial Fire Precaution Level Bulletin. • DNR’s toll-free business line at 1-800-527-3305 plays a message identifying daily industrial fire precaution levels, which are listed by geographical region. The hearing impaired can phone Telephone Device for the Deaf at 1-800833-6388. • Email DNR at RPD@dnr.wa.gov. Ask questions or request a copy of DNR’s Industrial Fire Precaution Level Bulletin or additional information on safe outdoor burning of forest debris and safe recreational campfire tips. DNR’s wildfire mission Administered by Commissioner of Public Lands Hilary Franz, DNR is responsible for preventing and fighting wildfires on 13 million acres of private, state and tribalowned forestlands. DNR is the state’s largest on-call fire department, with more than 1,300 employees trained and available to be dispatched to fires as needed. During fire season, this includes more than 800 DNR employees who have other permanent jobs with the agency and more than 500 seasonal employees hired for firefighting duties. Additionally, adult offenders from the Department of Corrections and juvenile offenders from the Department of Social and Health Services-Juvenile Rehabilitation Administration support firefighting efforts through DNR’s Correctional Camps Program. DNR also participates in Washington’s coordinated interagency approach to firefighting. ##### Did you know...

Call for excellence in nutrition research
By Agricultural Research Service “Traveling the Road from Precision to Imprecision: Have I Gone in the Wrong Direction?” is the title of Dennis M. Bier’s 2017 Agricultural Research Service (ARS) W. O. Atwater Memorial Lecture, which he delivered recently at the Experimental Biology 2017 meeting in Chicago. Bier is a renowned advocate for the highest standards of experiment design and increased rigor in nutritional research. He has forcefully promoted the need to enhance the quality of data that nutrition research is generating, especially data used for formulating nutrition guidelines and recommendations. While calling on industry to provide more support for research, Bier has also called for expanding safeguards that keep for-profit interests from having undue influence on research. ARS established the W.O. Atwater Memorial Lecture in 1968 to honor the memory of Wilbur Olin Atwater (18441907) and to recognize scientists who have made unique contributions toward improving the diet and nutrition of people around the world. Considered the father of modern nutrition research and education, Atwater was the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) first chief of nutrition investigations. As a researcher, Bier’s research led to many notable achievements. These include increasing our understanding of infants’ caloric needs, as well as the energy needs of specific human organs. This is especially critical knowledge for more successful care of premature infants. Bier also spearheaded the development of groundbreaking methods to replace radioactive isotopes with non-radioactive markers and tracers in human metabolism research. He is the only person to serve as president of all three major academic nutrition societies: the American Society for Clinical Nutrition, the American Society for Nutritional Sciences, and the American Society for Nutrition. Today, Bier is a professor of pediatrics and director of the Children’s Nutrition Research Center at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston.

USDA Expands Meat and Poultry Hotline
The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) today announced that it is increasing the delivery of safe food handling and preparation information by expanding the hours of its Meat and Poultry Hotline and Ask Karen chat services. As detailed in the Agency’s 2017-2021 Strategic Plan, FSIS is focusing on the reduction of foodborne illness, and one way to contribute to that reduction is to increase public awareness of safe food handling information. FSIS’ Meat and Poultry Hotline has been educating consumers since 1985. The toll-free telephone service assists in the prevention of foodborne illnesses by answering consumers’ questions about the safe storage, handling and preparation of meat, poultry and egg products. Beginning today, the hotline will be open for two additional hours, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. ET. “Our hotline provides a valuable service in educating consumers about how to safely prepare food,” said FSIS Administrator Al Almanza. “By keeping the hotline open an additional two hours, we are expanding our reach to allow more consumers, including those on the West Coast, to have their food safety questions answered.” The hotline is accompanied by Ask Karen, a 24-hour online service that provides answers to thousands of frequently asked questions and also allows consumers to email or livechat with a food safety specialist during operating hours. For 32 years the Meat and Poultry Hotline has answered questions about food manufacturer recalls, food poisoning, food safety during power outages, and the inspection of meat, poultry and egg products. From novice cooks roasting their first turkey to experienced food handlers asking about foodborne bacteria, the Meat and Poultry Hotline has answered more than 3 million calls since its inception. “Our hotline staff are experts in their field and have backgrounds in nutrition, food technology and public health,” said Almanza. “Experts are available to talk with people in English and Spanish, so we are able to help address the food safety needs of diverse communities.” Consumers can contact the Meat and Poultry Hotline to speak to a live food expert at 1-888-674-6854, or visit Ask Karen to chat or email (in English or Spanish), Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Eastern Time/7 a.m. to 3 p.m. Pacific Time.
KFC Commits to Serving Chicken Raised Without Antibiotics
Consumer and public health advocates are applauding the latest pledge by a fast food chain to phase out its use of chickens raised on antibiotics. Kentucky Fried Chicken has announced that by the end of 2018, all chicken purchased by the company will be raised without having received any of the antibiotics that are important to human medicine. Matthew Wellington, field director of the National Antibiotics Program for the U.S. Public Interest Research Group (PIRG), says the move makes sense, given the global concern about the rise of antibiotic-resistant superbugs. “Consumers across the country should certainly be happy that KFC, a major actor in the marketplace, is moving away from the use of antibiotics,” he states. “It’s a big step forward for public health.” Farmers use antibiotics to grow chickens faster and prevent diseases in crowded conditions. Reuters has reported that some poultry producers are turning to sanitizing wipes and bacteria-reducing fog to keep birds healthy. Wellington says PIRG has been active with other consumer groups in asking national chains to end their use of poultry raised with antibiotics, but he says KFC’s move is in an entirely different league. “Their size – they’re one of the biggest chicken buyers in the country – their commitment could actually lead to a majority of the U.S. chicken industry no longer raising chickens with medically important antibiotic use, or the routine use of those drugs,” he states. “And that would be a major shift.” Currently, Wellington says about 70 percent of the medically important antibiotics sold in the U.S. are purchased for use on livestock and poultry. ##### San Francisco cable cars are the only National Monuments that can move.

Seeding Depth Set the drill to place the seed 1 to 2 inches below the soil surface. Deeper seeding reduces tillering and lowers crop yields. With the furrow drills, wind-driven soil particles settle in the furrows covering the seed deeper than desired. Yield in Winter Wheat as Influenced by Percent Stand During periods of winter injury farmers are frequently faced with a decision as to whether or not a field should be torn up and re-seeded. A 40 to 50 percent winter wheat stand, if general over field, may produce as much as re-seeded spring wheat. Thinner stands will likely demand more attention for weed control. The guidelines for evaluating winter wheat stands are to determine the average number of healthy plants per square yard. We suggest making a square frame out of 3/8 inch rod. Walk the field in a zigzag pattern counting at ten random locations. Fields that have 80 or more plants per square yard will probably produce more than if replanted to spring wheat (information taken from 1995 Master’s Thesis, “Critical Overwintering Plant Population for Successful Winter Wheat Production in Montana” by Doug Holen).

International Mud Day
Date When Celebrated: Always June 29 Today is International Mud Day. Let’s get down and dirty!! To celebrate this very special day, all you need is some water and some dirt. Mix them together, and you’re ready to have some fun! International Mud Day is for everyone, both children, and the child inside of us. Set aside the electronic games. Turn off the television. Set down the smart phone, along with the apps. The purpose of this day is to help children by bringing them back outdoors to learn about, and enjoy, nature along with all it has to offer. To celebrate International Mud Day: • Immerse yourself and your friends in a mud pit. • Make mud pies and/or mud sculptures. • Organize a nature hike for children or yourself The Origin of International Mud Day: In Nepal, where International Mud Day began, the intention of the original event was to enrich the lives of 58 orphans, by getting them outdoors to enjoy the environment. After splashing in the mud, these children’s moods and attitudes were much improved. This special day is sponsored by the World Forum Foundation.

Whether we’re planning a weekend getaway to a nearby city or packing up for a month-long jaunt halfway around the world, we’re guaranteed to come back with a few good stories about what we didn’t plan–a flat tire out in the middle of nowhere. A night spend at the airport sleeping on plastic chairs. A five-star hotel that didn’t quite live up to its stellar rating. A week inside the beach cottage watching it rain. Are we there yet? Sometimes it takes a little distance between us and the event before we’re laughing. But in the end, admit it–it’s funny!

The president of a prestigious corporation was invited to deliver the keynote speech at an industry convention. Wanting to impress his peers, he asked his public relations manager to write him a smart, punchy, memorable speech about twenty minutes long. After the convention, the president returned to his office and demanded to this his public relations officer pronto. When the man entered, the president bellowed: “What’s the big idea of giving me an hour-long speech? Most of the audience walked out before I was halfway finished!” The staffer was puzzled. “I wrote a twenty-minute speech,” the man said, “and I gave you the two extra copies you asked for.”

Uncover the truth of nutrition and health headlines
By Julie Garden-Robinson, Food and Nutrition Specialist, NDSU Extension Service “An intern was asking how many cans of pop you drink a day,” one of our program assistants commented a few years ago. “She said you carry around a can of soda all day,” the program assistant continued with a laugh. She knew the truth and was teasing me. “It’s the same can!” I replied. “After I drink the pop in the morning, I rinse out the can and fill it with water twice because I wasn’t drinking enough water. Let her know I don’t drink several cans of pop a day. “I recycle the can, too,” I added. Carrying a can of soda was creating false perceptions, and I was feeling guilty about this indulgence. I gave up my one-can-a-day diet soda habit. I switched to water in a water bottle. I mostly was concerned about bathing my teeth with acidic fluid. Media from Facebook to TV have been exploding lately with news of a “link” between diet pop and health consequences, including strokes and Alzheimer’s disease. The researchers, however, did not show this was “cause and effect.” I think we all know that soda of any kind is not a “health food.” The results of the study most likely will prompt further research in the area of soda and health, and that is a good thing. Drink more water in the meantime. Unfortunately, the short blurbs about scientific research that we read or hear about in the news do not provide all the details or indicate the limitations that the authors of the study disclosed in the article they published about their research. The scientific details are not always interesting, but catchy headlines get people to pay attention. See https://www.ndsu. edu/boomers and click on “Finding the Truth” for more information on this topic. I’d like to share part of an NDSU Extension Service publication that lists some questions you should ask. With information coming at us from many directions, asking these questions will help you sort through what to believe. Think about these questions when you evaluate a product advertised in a magazine, on TV, on Facebook, by email or in a newspaper headline about the latest study. • Does the advice or product promise a quick fix? Complicated medical problems seldom have quick, effortless or simple solutions. • Does the advice cast doubts about current food or lifestyle practices? Question whether you need the product to make you healthier, or can you make some changes for a healthier you? Often some changes in our lifestyle, diet and exercise habits are what could help us feel better and more energetic, not some “special” product or food. • Does it sound too good to be true? Be careful when a product is advertised as a “cure” for serious diseases such as cancer, heart disease or arthritis. Be careful when a product is being sold for many different conditions. Some of the conditions a product is supposed to cure run the gamut from migraine headaches, ingrown toenails and fatigue to allergies. • Does the advice draw simple conclusions from complex studies? Stories on new research findings frequently omit details that would enable you to judge how the study could relate to your diet and nutritional needs. • Are recommendations based on a single study? One study may not prove anything, but several studies in which evidence accumulates bit by bit can uncover the truth. • Does the advice cast doubts about reputable scientific organizations? Do not be made skeptical or fearful by implication. Seek facts that support or counter accusations. • Does the advice provide lists of bad and good foods? Variety is not only the spice of life; it is the basis of a safe and healthful diet. Don’t exclude foods or food groups. What you don’t eat can affect your health, too. No miracle food or product is available, and healthy individuals have no forbidden foods. • Is a product being sold as the solution to the problem? Keep in mind that the seller may be more interested in your money than your health. These people usually are very convincing, and many of them are true believers in what they are selling. • Does the advice refer to studies reported in nonscientific sources? Publication in a peer-reviewed journal is a good indication that an expert panel has reviewed the claims. Success based on testimonials and case studies does not prove the usefulness or safety of any product. CONTINUED ON PAGE A45

• Does the advice include recommendations drawn from studies that ignore differences among individuals or groups? Animals and people are different. Men and women are different. Also, age, economics, race and many other factors are important. Each “Yes” answer raises a red flag. Dig a little deeper and look a little farther when the flags go up. Consider your beverage choices and have water or another healthful beverage when you are thirsty. Studies with rats and humans have shown that blueberries may help improve memory. Remember that all berries are very rich in antioxidants, which help neutralize the effects of substances that damage DNA and cell membranes. Enjoy a wide variety of fruits and vegetables to nourish your body and brain. Here’s a recipe courtesy of the Midwest Dairy Association. Experiment with other types of berries, too. Blues Buster Smoothie 1 (6-ounce) container low-fat blueberry-flavored yogurt 1/2 c. apple juice 2/3 c. fresh or frozen blueberries 3 to 4 ice cubes. Combine all ingredients in a blender. Blend until smooth and creamy. Makes one serving with 140 calories, 7 grams (g) fat, 7 g protein, 13 g carbohydrate, 2 g fiber and 330 milligrams sodium. ##### When visiting a mechanic to have a part replaced, always ask for the worn/damaged part back. This way, you’ll be sure it was actually replaced and that you’re not getting a bum deal. ##### In the glove box, keep a few Handy Wipes to remove gas odor from your hands from filling the tank. ##### Remove auto grease from hands with baking soda and water.

2016 Nebraska farm financial averages released
By University of Nebraska-Lincoln IANR News The 2016 Nebraska Farm Business, Inc. averages were recently completed. The average data shows several surprises in 2016 including an increase in net farm income from $29,432 in 2015 to $45,703 in 2016. This is the first increase in net farm income since 2011 but it is still lower than any other year, besides 2015, since 2002. The averages are a summary of producers all across Nebraska that participated in the financial analysis program. The program allows producers to have a comprehensive analysis of the financial health of their business from accrual basis net farm income, an earned net worth change, cost of production, 21 financial ratios and more. The data collected from the farm’s records is then averaged to provide participating producers with information to benchmark their operations. Forty-four percent of the operations in 2015 saw negative net farm income while only 30 percent did in 2016, with a majority of those being predominately livestock operations. The income for crop operations - more than 70% of their gross income comes from crops- rebounded to the 2014 levels after a drop in 2015, but the operations with a significant beef component saw continued losses. The level of total debt carried by each operation jumped 13 percent from 2015 to 2016. There was an increase in gross income possibly indicating that the size of operations increased. However, the continual increase in risk is something operations need to be concerned with. Average debt per acre has more than doubled since 2004. There was a significant drop in family living costs. Costs have been dropping slightly from the peak of spending in 2012 but this was the first time the averages approached a drop of more than 10%. The average family living costs in 2016 were $83,210 compared to $91,991 in 2015. The largest drops came from personal care, recreation and miscellaneous expenses. Cash donations and household repairs were the other large drops. The only significant category to increase was food and meals. 2016 was the first time in over 10 years that more money was pulled out of savings than was put in. This is an indicator of the continued cash flow crunch. That cash flow crunch is most accurately measured by working capital, which saw no significant improvement in 2016 even with a large amount of refinanced debt. Without adequate working capital, an operation will struggle to pay their bills and service the mounting debt. According to Tina Barrett, director of Nebraska Farm Business, Inc., while the increase in net farm income is significant and a positive sign that the farm economy is trending in the right direction, it is still too low to create a return on the significant investment of a farming operation with an addition of payment for the labor and management for the operator. Farm operators will need to continue to be diligent in the management of every aspect of their operation to ensure the survival of the business.
Go Fishing Day
Date When Celebrated : Always June 18th Today is Go Fishing Day. Now, this is my kind of day! It’s a day to go out and bring home a healthy, tasty, meal for the family. Fishing is hard work. The pressure to bring home a “mess of fish” to feed the family is almost unbearable. After all, as the “Hunter-gatherer” of the family, you need to bring home the meal, or the family might starve. The wife doesn’t appreciate the difficult task of fishing for long hours under all sorts of weather conditions. The wife thinks we’re just out having fun....yeah, right. Celebrate today, on the shore or in a boat, with a fishing pole in one hand, and your favorite beverage in the other. And, don’t go home until you have caught your limit! The Origin of Go Fishing Day: Our research did not find the creator, or the origin of this day. We were hot on the trail of the creator. We discovered his address. We travelled to his home. As we came up to his door to ask about his creation of this day, we saw a sign on the door. It reads “Sorry, we are not home. I’ve gone Fishing!” Reader Comments: One reader informed us that: “The first American flycasting tournament was held in Utica, NY. on this day in 1861.” Perhaps this was the beginning of Go Fishing Day!?

Waller celebrates 17 years as CASNR dean, looks to future
By University of Nebraska-Lincoln IANR News Steven Waller will transition to a new role this summer after 17 years as dean of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln’s (UNL) College of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources. He will become interim director of the Center for Grassland Studies on July 1. Tiffany Heng-Moss, the college’s associate dean, will become interim dean on July 1. A search committee will be assembled in the fall to begin the search for a permanent leader. Waller has much to be proud of during his tenure as CASNR dean, and while the academic accomplishments are significant, it’s the essence of the college that he says is most special. “CASNR is so much more than an academic college, and I think everyone here would tell you that,” he said. “The students, faculty and staff within CASNR are part of a true community and that’s something to be proud of.” That community is one that is growing at a rate the university has never seen. CASNR is experiencing 12 consecutive years of enrollment growth. Waller has been instrumental in that growth. “CASNR’s unprecedented enrollment growth is a bright spot for the university and can be directly attributed to the outstanding vision that Steve has used to guide the college over the years,” said Michael Boehm, Harlan Vice Chancellor of the Institute of Agriculture and Natural Resources. “With his expertise in range management and superior leadership skills, the Center for Grassland Studies has a bright future ahead.” Under Waller’s leadership, CASNR has doubled the number of academic programs offered; increased the number of faculty and staff engaged in outcomes-based student success programming; developed innovative, partnership-driven global engagement programs; and expanded the college’s global network through online and distance education. The college’s focus on preparing the world’s future leaders, innovators and difference-makers has led to several innovative programs for students including Justin Smith Morrill Scholars, CASNR CARES, Dean’s Scholars in Experiential Leadership, the Engler Agribusiness Entrepreneurship program and Ensuring Your Future. Waller, a Midwest native, received an associate of science degree in 1967 from Vincennes University, where he studied pre-forestry; a bachelor of science degree in conservation in 1970 from Purdue University; and a doctorate in range science in 1975 from Texas A&M University. Waller was a faculty member in the animal science department at South Dakota State University before coming to the Department of Agronomy and Horticulture at Nebraska in 1978. Until 2000, Waller held joint administrative appointments with CASNR and the Agriculture Research Division, while continuing his affiliation with the agronomy department. His research and teaching responsibilities at the university emphasized range management and improvement, livestock management on range and pasture, and forage evaluation. The Center for Grassland Studies was formed in 1994. Its mission is to implement focused, interdisciplinary research, educational and service programs and activities that emphasize the role of grasslands as a natural resource and conservation measure to enhance the efficiency, profitability, sustainability and aesthetic value of grasslands, wetlands and turfs. The center administers two multi-disciplinary undergraduate majors – grazing livestock systems and PGA golf management. It also organizes the annual Nebraska Grazing Conference and provides support for multi-disciplinary and multi-state research projects. To celebrate Waller’s accomplishments during his time as dean, CASNR is planning two special events. CASNR students are invited to “Dead Week Doughnuts with the Dean” from 3 to 5 p.m. April 27 in the Nebraska East Union. The public is invited to an open house celebration from 2 to 4 p.m. June 23 at the Nebraska East Union. Further details will be posted at http://casnr.unl.edu. ##### To everything there is a season and a time to every purpose under the heaven….a time to be born & a time to die; a time to plant and a time to pluck up that which is planted. ##### The humble Oreo is, more than likely accidentally, vegan.

A better way to pasteurize eggs
By Agricultural Research Service An Agricultural Research Service (ARS) scientist and his colleagues have developed a technology that rapidly pasteurizes eggs and could sharply reduce the number of illnesses caused each year by egg-borne Salmonella bacteria. The device invented by David Geveke, a chemical engineer at the ARS Food Safety and Intervention Technologies Research Unit in Wyndmoor, Pennsylvania, uses radio frequency (RF) waves to heat eggs and reduce Salmonella without damaging egg whites. Salmonella is associated with eating undercooked eggs or the raw eggs used in Caesar salads, eggnogs and Béarnaise and hollandaise sauces. Salmonellosis, as the infection is known, can cause diarrhea, stomach cramps and fever. Infants, preschoolers, pregnant women and the elderly are especially susceptible. Because of this, pasteurized eggs are often marketed to nursing homes and other institutional kitchens. Yet overall, less than three percent of the 74 billion fresh eggs produced and sold to U.S. consumers each year are pasteurized. Current pasteurization methods involve immersing eggs in hot water (130 to 140 degrees Fahrenheit). The process takes about an hour and adds about $1.50 to the retail price of a dozen eggs. It also can cause proteins in the heat-sensitive egg whites to break down and coagulate during cooking. The patented RF process is faster and ensures that the protein-rich yolk gets more heat than the egg white. It also should lower the cost of pasteurization – and the price of pasteurized eggs on store shelves. If pasteurized eggs become less expensive and more abundant, more people are likely to choose them, and fewer people will get sick, Geveke says. RF technology is already used to reduce pathogens in almonds, spices, wheat flour and other food products. Geveke and his colleagues have published results showing that the RF treatment reduced pathogen levels by 99.999 percent, which is comparable to eggs pasteurized in hot water. The entire process also took about 20 minutes, making it almost three times faster than using hot water.

Management of wireworms using new insect pathogenic strains
By Anamika Sharma, Shabeg S. Briar, Gadi V.P. Reddy, Western Triangle Ag Research Center and Stefan Jaronski, USDA-ARS-Northern Plains Ag Research laboratory USDA-ARS, Sidney. This project was funded by the Montana Wheat and Barley Committee to Dr. Gadi V.P. Reddy to develop sustainable pest management strategies for the management of wireworms. These fungi, known as Beauveria and Metarhizium, work as contact agents — when the insect comes into contact with spores, they attach to its surface, germinate and penetrate into its body within 24 hours. The fungi then multiply within the John Miller (left), Anamika Sharma (right) and Shabeg Briar (seen on the host and subsequently kill driver seat) while seeding the spring wheat. the insect.

Students raise money for ranchers
By University of Nebraska-Lincoln IANR News Recent wildfires across Colorado, Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas have devastated the ranching industry. The fires have destroyed millions of acres of grassland, and left thousands of cattle dead. Now, students in the Large Animal Veterinary Medical Club at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln (UNL) are lending their support to those affected by the wildfires. The club acted quickly after learning of the wildfires, and organized a fundraiser selling “Vet Med” hats. During the course of the 11-day fundraiser the club sold 366 hats, raising over $4,000 for wildfire victims. “We saw a lot of news coverage about the wildfires and we thought it was important to help out,” said Rachael Granville of Springfield, a student in the university’s Professional Program in Veterinary Medicine (PPVM). “Someday those ranchers are going to be our clients so we care about them and want them to be successful.” The club sold hats to students, faculty and staff in Nebraska, and their PPVM partners at Iowa State University. In addition, the club extended the fundraiser to vet med schools in the states affected by the wildfires: Colorado State University, Kansas State University, Oklahoma State University and Texas A&M University. The University of Illinois and Mississippi State University also contributed to the fundraiser. According to club president Kara Sutphen, funds raised by the club will be given to the Working Ranch Cowboys Association. The association has established a wildfire relief fund to provide financial assistance to working ranchers and cowboys suffering significant hardships due to the wildfires. “We feel that donating the funds we raise to the Working Ranch Cowboys Association is better than us trying to buy supplies and send it to the affected areas because these people are going to need financial assistance for a long time. The association has historically done a lot of crisis relief, and they have operations set up for people to apply for the funds,” Sutphen said. The club is currently contacting several state veterinary medical associations to see if they will match the funds raised so far. The Large Animal Club is a club for PPVM students at the university. The club organizes meetings and wet labs to expose students to a variety of topics focused on large-animal medicine. Additionally, the club awards scholarships to three PPVM students annually.

their value in the management of this pest. Exploring and expanding on these results, we are currently using granular formulations of additional strains of the insect pathogenic fungi, B. bassiana GHA, M. robertsii DWR356, M. robertsii DWR2009, M. robertsii DWR2009, as well as DWR356 and DWR2009 on millet grain substrate (at the rate of 10lb/acre and 20lb/acre) along with Gaucho® (Imidacloprid) at the rate of 2.4 oz/45.352 kg/seed and control (water treatment). All the strains are applied in furrows with the seeds. We will also monitor wireworm population and standing plants in different plots to assess the effectiveness of the fungal pathogens. Finally, we will compare the yields resulting from these treatments. We are conducting our trials at two sites on farms near Ledger and Valier. Both sites have moderate to high wireworm infestations. Hence, we expect to analyze the results in the light of significant pressure from wireworms and also as the part of an integrated pest management for two specific wireworm species, Limonius californicus and Hypnoidus bicolor, key species in Golden Triangle area of Montana. Success with these entomopathogenic fungi, along with other management strategies such as use of trap crops, will hopefully provide some remedy to the existing wireworm problem in this region. ##### Only 5 percent of cars actually run better on premium gas as opposed to regular.

Specialists caution when making herbicide selection
By Cheryl Alberts, Pesticide Safety Education Program, IANR News New in 2017 is a lawn product name that may sound familiar. But the new Roundup for Lawns is a stark contrast from the traditional Roundup herbicide, said a Nebraska Extension integrated turfgrass management specialist. “The two products have completely different ingredients and are not interchangeable,” said Cole Thompson, who is based at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln (UNL). Thompson said in addition to the Roundup name similarity are other consumer-awareness factors: • Multiple Roundup products may be displayed together in stores, so consumers must know what they are purchasing. • Pricing between the two Roundup products may differ – do not automatically select the least expensive, which likely is the “traditional” Roundup. Consumers in-store or online must carefully read product labels to correctly determine the active ingredients are what they intend to purchase and use, Thompson said. Roundup Weed and Grass Killer is a brand name of an herbicide that contains glyphosate. This active ingredient nonselectively kills most plants, including both broadleaf and grasses, Thompson explained. Homeowners often use this product to kill anything growing in cracks, between patio pavers, even entire lawns, for example. Agricultural producers also use glyphosate in their fields to kill unwanted plants. “Though there are always exceptions, consumers should expect that all plants sprayed with Roundup Weed and Grass Killer will die,” Thompson said. Roundup for Lawns on the other hand, is the brand name of a new herbicide that does not contain glyphosate; rather it contains the active ingredients MCPA, quinclorac, dicamba and sulfentrazone. Each is a selective herbicide that controls various weeds without harming Kentucky bluegrass, perennial ryegrass or tall fescue lawns. “Research trials do, however, show that some active ingredients in Roundup for Lawns (MPCA and dicamba) could cause short-lived injury to buffalograss lawns,” Thompson said. In addition to reading the label for the active ingredients, consumers must follow safety directions. When handling and applying pesticides, at minimum wear a long-sleeved shirt, long pants, shoes, socks and chemical-resistant gloves. Other manufacturers have products that contain similar ingredients as Roundup for Lawns and target the same weeds, Thompson said, adding labels will list product ingredients. Other Roundup products are also available for home use. Roundup for Lawns for use on Southern Grasses contains an active ingredient that may injure cool-season lawns. Roundup Extended Control and Roundup Max Control 365 both contain imazapic, a soil residual herbicide that kills germinating cool-season grass seedlings for weeks after application. Thompson advised avoiding using these extended control products in renovations where seeding will take place soon after application.

Misty of Chincoteague
The 1961 film Misty was based on Marguerite Henry’s children’s book about a real life wild-herd pony, Misty, and a family on the coastal island of Chincoteague, near Maryland in the U.S. After the film, the Ash Wednesday storm of 1962 damaged the island. During the storm, Misty was brought into the owner’s home, where she gave birth to a foal named Stormy that became inspiration for another children’s book. Misty died in 1972, and was preserved via taxidermy for visitors to view when they come in the summers for the pony penning, when the wild pony herd of Chincoteague crosses the Assateague Channel. Money is raised at this event to preserve the wild pony herd.
Let’s go shopping
A line of shoppers snaked around the block in anticipation of the big sale about to take place. Five minutes before opening time, a woman walked straight to the door, pushing ahead of everyone. The people in line shouted at her and shoved her back, but she quickly turned around and elbowed her way to the front of the line. This happened three times. The last time she screamed: “Unless you let me through, I won’t open the store!”
MT mountain snowpack entering runoff season
After low flows in some of Montana’s rivers last summer caused issues for irrigators, anglers and recreationists, the spring and summer runoff this year looks to yield above average streamflows, according to snowpack data released by the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS). Snowpack across the state is above normal for May 1 in all but a few sub-basins. Basins west of the Divide, which typically peak during the month of April, are all above normal with high elevations still gaining as of the end of the month. East of the Divide, where snowpack at higher elevations typically peaks a bit later towards the end of April to mid-May, also saw excellent gains during the month. “Last month there was some concern over the lack of snowpack in some basins east of the Divide that provide irrigation and municipal drinking water, but April provided relief via abundant mountain snowfall and valley precipitation,” said Lucas Zukiewicz, NRCS water supply specialist for NRCS in Montana. “Two of these basins in southwest Montana, the Ruby River Basin and Hyalite drainages, have snowpack that is now normal for April 1.” Abundant precipitation throughout this water year in most of Montana and healthy snowpack totals on May 1 have resulted in streamflow forecasts that are above average for most rivers in the state. In addition, the melt at higher elevations has been slightly delayed in some basins this year due to the cool and wet weather experienced during April. “Delayed onset of snowmelt generally provides more efficient runoff and helps to keep the water in the mountains until it is needed to sustain streamflows later in the summer,” Zukiewicz said. “Over the last three years there has been early runoff of the seasonal snowpack, which has led to below average flows later in the season.” Streamflow forecasts issued by the NRCS are duration forecasts, or the total amount of water that will pass by a streamflow gauge during runoff season and do not forecast timing or magnitude of flows on any given day. “The words ‘too much snow’ don’t come out of my mouth very often, but with regards to the snowpack in Wyoming basins, which feed the Bighorn River, it’s the case this year,” he said. Snowfall in the Wind River and Shoshone River basins has been record breaking this year, with snowpack totals over 200 percent of normal in some areas on May 1. Federal water managers have been working to make room for the water that will enter the river systems and reservoirs during runoff this year, increasing outflows from reservoirs in Montana and Wyoming. The May 1 - July 31 seasonal volume forecasts for some of the rivers in Wyoming are approaching record levels, with some over 200 percent of average. Zukiewicz said water users should anticipate above average flows for some time on the Bighorn River.

Date When Celebrated : Always June 14th Flag Day, is a day for all Americans to celebrate and show respect for our flag, its designers and makers. Our flag is representative of our independence and our unity as a nation.....one nation, under God, indivisible. Our flag has a proud and glorious history. It was at the lead of every battle fought by Americans. Many people have died protecting it. It even stands proudly on the surface of the moon. As Americans, we have every right to be proud of our culture, our nation, and our flag. So raise the flag today and every day with pride! Properly Display Our Flag Care and handling of the American flag is steeped in tradition and respect. There is a right way and a wrong way to display the flag. This is called Flag Etiquette. The American flag should be held in the highest of regards. It represents our nation and the many people who gave their lives for our country and our flag. Here are the basics on displaying the American flag: • The flag is normally flown from sunrise to sunset. • In the morning, raise the flag briskly. At sunset, lower it slowly. Always, raise and lower it ceremoniously. • The flag should not be flown at night without a light on it. • The flag should not be flown in the rain or inclement weather. • After a tragedy or death, the flag is flown at half staff for 30 days. It’s called “half staff” on land and “half mast” on a ship. • When flown vertically on a pole, the stars and blue field, or “union,” is at the top and at the end of the pole (away from your house). • The American flag is always flown at the top of the pole. Your state flag and other flags fly below it. • The union is always on top. When displayed in print, the stars and blue field are always on the left. • Never let your flag touch the ground, never...period. • Fold your flag when storing. Don’t just stuff it in a drawer or box. • When your flag is old and has seen better days, it is time to retire it. Old flags should be burned or buried. Please do not throw it in the trash. Did you Know? There is a very special ceremony for retiring the flag by burning it. It is a ceremony everyone should see. Your local Boy Scout group knows the proper ceremony and performs it on a regular basis. If you have an old flag, give it to them. And, attend the ceremony. Famous Flag People: Betsy Ross was a seamstress who made clothes for George Washington. In June, 1776, Washington approached her to make the country’s first flag and the rest is history. Francis Scott Key, inspired by the British bombardment of Fort McHenry, Francis Scott Key penned the lyrics to our national anthem as he witnessed the event as British rockets whizzed in the air while our American Flag flew in the breeze. Did you Know? If you like to study flags, then you are a Vexillologist!

By Cole Ehmke, University of Wyoming Extension I often talk with farmers and ranchers about business transition and personal estate planning, and when the topic of long-term health care comes up, they are usually indifferent. They suspect it won’t be a problem. However, if I were to ask them which part of the ranch they intend to sell when they go into the nursing home, their interest would change. The topic is important: 1 in 2 Americans over age 65 will have an extended nursing home stay. And 1 in 10 Americans over age 65 will stay in a nursing home more than five years. Depending upon the care level and care facility, long-term care can cost $30,000 to $100,000 per year. So we’re talking about a bill that probably starts at $210,000 (three years at $70,000 per year) and could go to $500,000. But it is not just a problem for the very old. Of people needing long-term care, 40% are under the age of 65. Unfortunately, health insurance, Medicare and employer benefits often only cover a small portion of the expense of a nursing facility or at-home assistance. In short, long-term health care planning is an important part of preserving a business and a legacy. Exploring the Options Elderly ranchers, ranchers with medical conditions, or ranchers whose families have a history of needing longterm care should be considering options for protecting the family’s wealth position. There are quite a few topics to investigate, including Current costs of long-term care alternatives, What Medicare does and does not pay for, Medicare supplemental insurance, Veterans benefits, Medicaid and issues of asset and income eligibility, spend down provisions, gifting and asset transfers, trusts (revocable, irrevocable, supplemental and special needs), irrevocable pre-paid burial plans, and treatment of annuities, Family care, self-pay, and self-insure options, and Long-term care insurance. And the care itself? There is a tremendous array of care options available, both informal (primarily family providing care for older relatives) and care that moves through progressively higher levels of social and medical support, including assisted living and nursing homes. Here in the US we have an elaborate system of long-term care for those who can no longer age in a familiar place, and navigating it can be intimidating for the uninitiated. But if we had an elderly relative, perhaps with one or more serious, progressive chronic conditions, we would want to try to help them match the care they get to where they’re at in the trajectory of their illness. For instance, patients with organ system failure such as heart and lung failure might have long-term limitations with intermittent serious episodes. The erratic disease course would require complex management and changing levels of caregiving, with sometimes intense, hands-on care combined with periods of relative calm. Or if we had a relative with dementia, the family must eventually make decisions on behalf of the patient. This might require long-term caregiving in a nursing home – often for years and often a wrenching decision. Since ranchers often continue to work long after retirement age, problems like frailty or dementia can become a bigger issue than in other businesses. For instance, the ranch environment itself is full of physical hazards (moving machinery, slippery surfaces, impromptu rodeos), plus there may be a reluctance to ask for help combined with fewer support services in rural areas. We Need to Talk Unforunately, many operations don’t have a succession plan in place or documents such as wills updated. That unpreparedness can leave an operation in turmoil if a major decision maker is unable to fill his or her role. It’s the job of the senior generation to make sure that the ranch gets passed on to the next generation. This means thinking in advance about dealing with short-term crises, such as with a power of attorney. But it also means thinking long-term about an orderly transition of the labor, the management authority, and the ownership of the assets to the next generation. By engaging in planning, you don’t wait for the problems to occur, you proactively work to avoid potential threats. But successful farm and ranch succession takes planning and communication, and, above all, a desire for continuity across time that outweighs a rancher’s desire for control. A good way to begin is to start a conversation with the CONTINUED ON PAGE B9

stakeholders – partners, family members (both on- and offfarm), key employees, etc. Base it on open and honest communication. And prepare for it to be one that takes months and years to bear fruit. Sometimes, these conversations start and then, at the slightest, impasse they stop, and there isn’t any follow-up. Be sure to persevere. Final Thought As we age, simple daily tasks like bending over to put on a pair of pants or doing chores — become more challenging. And we’ll all likely need some help beyond home assistance as our health deteriorates. For most of us, there is a huge discomfort in not knowing how things would be taken care of if something unexpected happened. And there is justifiable fear that a diagnosis of dementia, for instance, can lead to the loss of the ranch, the home and everything that is familiar. Taking over financial responsibility for the ranch can take many months to sort out. But in the meantime, the ranch needs to continue to function as a business, so feed needs to be bought, animals bought, cared for, and sold, etc., which can be very difficult if the farm business is solely in the name of the person living with dementia. And there is the larger dimension that we would want the ranch to be passed on intact to the next generation. While you can’t predict the onset of dementia or some other condition that can tremendously impact an individual, a family, and the ranch, a succession plan can prevent some of the struggles that could present themselves over time. Exploring options for succession and preparing for the risk of long-term health care costs takes time, and it is better to start in your 50s than in your 70s. Start when you’re healthy. The best time to plan is when you don’t need it. The day you need it, it is too late.

Pesticide container recycling enters 26th year
By University of Nebraska-Lincoln IANR News At the Helena Chemical Co. in Oakland, Nebraska, baling twine and a garbage truck, along with a conscientious effort to do things right, make for a successful pesticide container recycling season. The annual statewide pesticide container recycling program, coordinated by Nebraska Extension’s Pesticide Safety Education Program, is in its 26th year. The recycling program encourages agricultural producers to bring clean containers to one of 20 sites at no cost to them. Contractors haul away the containers to be ground up and reused in industryapproved products such as drain tile, underground utility conduit, highway sign posts and other products. “Many agricultural producers in the region have a sense of responsibility,” said John Wilson, Nebraska Extension educator based in Tekamah. “They feel recycling containers is the right thing to do.” Helena Chemical has been a recycling site for the 15 years Ken Elsasser has been operations manager there. Elsasser remembers when 2.5-gallon jugs littered ditches, farmyards and sheds, potentially posing a hazard to children who might play around them. While containers may be burned, Elsasser pointed out that could be environmentally unfavorable to the ozone. Recycling is much better. “It’s a good deal for the environment,” Elsasser said. Helena Chemical is open for recycling weekdays May through August, 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. CONTINUED ON PAGE B10

Pesticide container recycling enters 26th year CONTINUED FROM PAGE B9
Many containers brought to the Oakland site are bundled, tied by the handles with baling twine to facilitate handling. There they are loaded into a local garbage truck owned and operated by the contractor, G. Phillips & Sons, based in Stanwood, Iowa. The containers are crushed and hauled in each truckload. Any crushing, however, is best left to the pros. All containers for the pesticide container recycling should be intact, clean and dry. Nebraska’s program accepts 1- and 2.5-gallon plastic agricultural pesticide or crop oil containers; in some locations, 15-, 30- or 55-gallon drums are accepted. Containers must be pressure- or triple-rinsed and drained. Rinsate must be returned to the spray tank and used appropriately. Container caps, labels, booklets and slipcover plastic labels should all be removed and thrown away. Glued-on paper labels may be left on. Any rejected containers remain the property of the vehicle driver. Ron Perkins is executive director of the Ag Container Recycling Council (ACRC) that contracts with the hauler, and oversees the national pesticide container recycling effort for its 44 member states. Perkins said in 2016 Nebraska collected 61,680 pounds of containers to be recycled. Nationally last year, ACRC contractors collected a record 11.1 million pounds of containers. The program is funded by crop protection product manufacturers and distributors through the Virginia-based ACRC. “We’re in a time where profits are down and budgets are cut,” said PSEP coordinator Clyde Ogg. “These are the times when it’s probably most important to collaborate with these types of successful voluntary programs.” Information about the program is at http://pested.unl.edu/ recycling, and information about proper rinsing is at http:// extensionpubs.unl.edu/publication/9000016364796/rinsingpesticide-containers/. Nebraska sites this year include six locations open MayAugust, while seven sites are open year-round. Other sites are open by appointment or specific dates.

Predator Management for Small and Backyard Poultry Flocks
Trader’s Dispatch, June 2017 — Page B11
Identification of the Problem Predator The best long-term solution for protecting your flock is preventing predators from getting to it. Of course, this tactic is easier said than done. To develop an exclusion plan, you need to determine which type of animal is preying on your birds. Often, the condition in which you find your flock is an indicator of which predator is involved • If adult birds are missing but no other signs of disturbance exist, the predator probably is a dog, a coyote, a fox, a bobcat, a hawk, or an owl. These predators typically are able to kill, pick up, and carry off an adult chicken. Hawks typically take chickens during the day, whereas owls take them during the night. • If chicks are missing but no other signs of disturbance exist, the culprit may be a snake, a rat, a raccoon, or a house cat. Such predators sometimes leave some feathers and wings scattered away from the site because they are not able to swallow these parts. • If birds are dead but not eaten and have parts still intact, a weasel may have attacked the flock. Members of the weasel family, including mink, kill just for the fun of killing. Often, the chickens’ bodies are bloodied. Also, you might notice that internal organs have been eaten. • If birds are dead and not eaten but are missing their heads, the predator may be a raccoon, a hawk, or an owl. Raccoons sometimes pull a bird’s head through the wires of an enclosure and then can eat only the head, leaving the majority of the body behind. Also, raccoons may work together, with one scaring the chickens to the far end of a pen and the other picking off the birds’ heads. • If birds are only wounded, not dead, various predators may be to blame. If birds show signs of bites all over, a dog may have attacked the flock. Dogs do not have sharp enough teeth to consume animals cleanly. If the wounds are on the breasts or legs of young birds, an opossum may be the problem. Bites on the hocks of young birds often indicate that rats have preyed on the flock. If birds have bites and show signs that their intestines have been removed through their cloacae, the attacker may be a member of the weasel family, or cannibalism may be occurring in the flock. • If eggs are missing, one of several predators—including skunks, snakes, rats, opossums, raccoons, blue jays, and crows—may be at fault. In addition to examining the condition of your flock, you may be able to identify tracks of a predator that is a mammal. To view tracks more easily, put fine sand or talc powder around the area, and look for tracks the following day. The images of tracks shown in the next section of this article may help you identify a predator. Predator Behavior To understand how and why various animals attack poultry flocks, it can be help-
ful to know more about their behaviors. Knowledge of predator behavior provides background you can use as you try to identify and address predators of your flock. Dogs and Coyotes Domestic dogs allowed to run free in a neighborhood can be a problem for poultry flocks. They often kill simply for the fun of it. Dogs descended from the wolf and have retained some of the hunting instinct of this predecessor. Not all dogs will attack a poultry flock. In fact, some breeds are good guard dogs for a flock. Factors that contribute to the likelihood that a dog will attack a flock include the breed of the dog, the presence of other dogs, and the dog’s past experiences. Some breeds have a greater tendency to chase prey than others. This inclination can be heightened by the presence of other dogs, often resulting in pack behavior. Also, if a dog has had success in the past at getting food by attacking a poultry flock, it is more likely to repeat the behavior. Although coyotes have been seen traveling in large groups, they usually hunt in pairs. Coyotes are primarily nocturnal (active at night) but often can been seen during daylight hours. They were once diurnal (active during the day) but, through adaptation, have developed more nocturnal habits to adjust to habitat pressure from humans. Bobcats The most common wildcat in the United States, the bobcat is only about twice the size of a typical domestic cat. Like cats, bobcats can see in low light. They prefer to hunt during the twilight hours of dawn and dusk but will attack anytime of day. They can easily carry off a chicken or two from your flock. A bobcat may eat an entire bird in a single feeding or carry the carcass away. Bobcats prefer woodlands but will venture into backyards in search of prey, especially where housing encroaches on their normal habitat. House Cats Even if well-fed, domestic cats will kill young birds. Cats are messy eaters that tend to leave parts of prey in the open areas where they have eaten. Typically, they eat the meaty portions of a bird and leave the skin, with feathers attached. With smaller birds, however, cats often consume the whole bird, except for the wings and scattered feathers. In addition, cats usually leave teeth marks on every exposed bone of prey they have eaten. Foxes Foxes, red foxes in particular, prey on poultry flocks. Foxes usually at-
tack a bird at the throat, but some kill by multiple bites to the neck and back. Normally when a fox has been in the hen house, evidence includes only a few drops of blood and feathers. The fox carries away the dead bird, often to a den. Foxes also eat eggs. They usually open the eggs just enough to lick out the contents and leave the shells beside the nest. Most foxes live in wooded areas or on open plains, where they dig dens in the ground. They sometimes use hollow logs for dens. Gray foxes, the only foxes that readily climb trees, may den in hollow cavities of trees. Raccoons Raccoons enter poultry houses and take several birds in one night. They often tear and chew a bird’s breast and crop and sometimes eat the entrails. They may remove eggs from the nest and take them away, usually within 9 meters (28 feet) of the nest, to eat them. Garbage cans and dumps can be major sources of food, attracting raccoons to urban areas. Once settled in an area, raccoons will seek other food sources, including backyard poultry flocks. Weasels The least weasel has been referred to as the smallest living predator. It is long and slender, with a long neck, a narrow head, and short limbs. Least weasels weigh only about 30 to 55 grams (1 to 2 ounces) and are usually 165 to 205 millimeters (6-1/2 to 8 inches) long, with much of that length being tail. They are seldom seen and rarely trapped. They are active day and night and in winter and summer, and they do not hibernate. When a least weasel kills, it wraps its body and limbs around its prey and kills with a bite to the base of the skull. Least weasels can squeeze through holes as small as 1/4-inch in diameter. Consequently, they typically can get through chicken wire. Because a weasel must eat food equal to four times its body weight each day, weasels are voracious eaters. Skunks Skunks do not kill many adult birds. In general, when a skunk attacks a flock, it kills only one or two birds and mauls others considerably. Also, skunks love eggs. Usually, a skunk opens an egg at one end and punches its nose into the hole to lick out the contents. Eggs that have been eaten by a skunk may appear to have been hatched, except CONTINUED ON PAGE B12

that the edges of their openings are crushed. A skunk may remove eggs from a nest but rarely carries them more than 1 meter (3 feet) away.
Opossums Opossums are omnivorous in that they eat birds, fish, insects, mushrooms, fruits, vegetables, and even eggs. When an opossum raids a poultry house, it usually kills one bird at a time, often mauling its victims. It causes eggs to be mashed and messy, often chewing the shells into small pieces and leaving those pieces in the nest. Opossums usually begin feeding on adult poultry at the cloacal opening. They consume young poultry completely, typically leaving behind only a few wet feathers. Snakes Snake predation can be hard to identify because snakes eat their prey whole. For example, a snake can eat an egg whole, so the only sign of intrusion is a missing egg. The aftermath of a snake’s egg-eating activity differs from that of raccoons and skunks, which typically leave shells behind after eating eggs. Rat snakes are known to eat eggs and young chicks (those less than a month old). The size of the hole needed to get to a flock depends on the size of snake. Also, a snake must be able not only to enter the enclosure but also to exit after swallowing its prey. Typically, snakes able to enter through gaps that are 1/4-inch in diameter or smaller do not cause predation damage. Hawks Of the variety of hawk species that prey on poultry flocks, the most common are redtailed, redshouldered, and Cooper’s hawks. Hawks typically take their prey during the day. They have very keen eyesight and scan for prey from elevated perches. When a hawk spots prey, it swoops down and lands on the prey with its talons, often killing the prey on impact. A hawk may carry off a young or bantam bird and eat it elsewhere, leaving no indication of predation other than a missing bird. If a hawk eats a bird in place, it typically eats the breast, cleanly plucking the feathers. Feathers with flesh clinging to their ends may indicate that a hawk did not kill the bird but instead scavenged on a bird that died of some other cause.
CONTINUED FROM PAGE B11
Red-Tailed Hawk Red-tailed hawks live in various habitats, including scrub deserts, grasslands, farm fields, pastures, parks, and woodlands. They need an open hunting area with several scattered perches. The red-tailed hawk is one of three species sometimes referred to as chicken hawks, although it rarely preys on standard-sized chickens. Red-Shouldered Hawk Red-shouldered hawks live in forests and swamps. They may store food near their nest to eat later. Though red-shouldered hawks usually eat rodents and other small mammals, they will eat poultry if the opportunity arises. They sometimes are referred to as hen hawks. Cooper’s Hawk Cooper’s hawks, which can fly well through heavily wooded areas, prefer to live in deciduous and mixed forests. Owls The owl that most commonly preys on poultry flocks is the great horned owl. Normally, barn owls and screech owls do not bother poultry flocks. Owls are more active at night, and that is when they typically take birds. Great horned owls live in many types of habitats, from coastlines to grasslands to mixes of woods and open fields. Great horned owls eat many kinds of animals, including chickens, ducks, and other poultry. Actions to Prevent Predation Once you have identified which predators are causing problems with your flock, you can take actions to thwart their attacks. These actions may involve changing a flock’s enclosure, modifying the habitat around the area where you keep a flock, using a guard dog, or seeking assistance from wildlife services. Making Improvements to Fencing and Housing Many flock owners who allow their birds to free-range protect their flocks from ground predators by using movable fences. These fences may or may not be electrified. For an electrified fence, the amount of electricity used should be enough to stun but not kill an animal. Aside from being less dangerous to people, this type of fence more effectively keeps predators away from a flock. A stunned predator may be discouraged from bothering the flock. A dead predator, however, will soon be replaced by another predator. In addition to attracting ground predators, free-ranging poultry are highly susceptible to aerial predation from hawks and owls. One solution to this problem may be modifying the habitat around the area where the poultry range. Eliminate any perch sites within 9 meters (100 yards) of the flock by removing isolated trees and other perching surfaces. You also may consider housing
the poultry at night. Most poultry can be trained to move into a poultry house at night by feeding or watering them indoors at dusk. If a persistent hawk or owl is in an area, the easiest way to protect your flock is to use a covered run. Orange netting is best because hawks and owls see orange well. Hawks can get through any loose or weak spots in the covering, so make sure it is secure. Keep in mind that hawks and owls are federally protected species; you may not legally shoot, trap, or euthanize these birds. Noise and bird bombs are no longer legally available, and they have not been shown to be overly effective anyway. Another option for protecting a flock is to keep the flock confined in floorless pens that are moved around on pasture routinely, often daily. In some cases, however, such enclosures may not be sufficient to protect the flock, and additional peripheral fencing may be needed. For persistent predators, it may be necessary to provide your flock with a run that is covered with welded wire. If you allow your birds to go in the run at night, make sure that predators are not able to dig under the fencing. Bury hardware cloth at least 30.5 centimeters (12 inches) into the ground to deter diggers. Additional recommendations for management precautions include the following strategies: • Have the flock roost inside a secured location at night, making sure to close and lock all doors. • Ensure that the area where the birds live is clean and well-kept, with no food left in the run. • Remove sick, dying, and dead birds immediately. As you consider possible options for improving the area in which you keep your flock, keep in mind that lighting the area as a predator deterrent is not effective for laying flocks because of the disruption to egg laying. Also, although some flock owners have used periodic noises to deter predators, predators become accustomed to the noises in many cases, and the strategy does not remain effective. Using Guard Animals If you want to free-range your flock and local predators are a problem, consider getting guardian dogs. If well-trained, these dogs are extremely effective at deterring predators, both during the day and at night. This approach to predator control requires that the dogs stay with the flock at all times. Seeking Assistance from Wildlife Services State and federal wildlife services are available to help you identify and prevent many predators of poultry flocks. If you are interested in trapping, killing, or relocating predators, you must contact your local wildlife service. For many states, this is the Wildlife Services program of the US Department of Agriculture’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service. For others, it may be a state agency.
Give yourself a break
We live in a fast-paced society, and few of us escape the tension and stress that go along with being active, bush, and engaged with life. Though our days are stimulating and interesting, we’re often overloaded with things to do, see, and think about. Sometimes we’re so overworked that we feel we can’t get away, and may even feel guilty at doing so. Yet our bodies, as well as your minds, need a break! Even a short break–say, a weekend free of home chores and work tasks, unplugged from email, voice mail, and social media–can give us the rest and replenishment we need. When we get back to our normal routine, we’re better able to cope with problems, more apt to discover new ways of doing things, more productive, and equipped to enjoy the blessings of our day. Give yourself a break–long or short, faraway on a distant shore or right in your own backyard–relax! (Still feeling guilty? Remember: It’s good for you!)

Who knew: there are towns where marriage laws hold that you can’t sleep naked next to your spouse, where mistreating your mother-in-law means grounds for divorce, and where a wife must ask permission from her husband before wearing false teeth. Congratulations! 1.Married on a dare? Here, you can take it back. In Delaware, it’s legal to obtain an annulment if you got married on a dare or as a prank. The official law states that a marriage may be annulled if “one or both parties entered the marriage as a jest or dare. 2.If you like it, then you should’ve put a ring on it. Don Juans, beware: under South Carolina’s Offenses Against Morality and
Decency Act, it’s considered a misdemeanor for a man over the age of 16 to propose to a woman in order to seduce her. 3. Put those pajamas back on. Please. It may have moved past the whole witch thing, but the town of Salem, Massachusetts has retained its prudishness; it’s illegal for a married couple to sleep nude in a rented room. 4.You got a permission slip for those dentures, lady? In Vermont, a wife must obtain written permission from her husband before wearing false teeth. Condolences. 5.Here, you’d better be nice to your mother-in-law. In Wichita, Kansas, the mistreatment of mothers-in-law can be used as grounds for divorce.

and plant identification contests. “MSU’s teams competed with students from universities across the U.S., Mexico and Canada, and they’re doing some good stuff,” Carr said. “Our students are in the top echelon of range science people.” Club members who are on one or more of the teams practice weekly with their coaches. Carr said that performing well in the competition can provide students with the exposure and professional contacts that may help them in their future careers. Team members who competed in the URME were: Loni Blackman, a senior from Cascade majoring in natural resources and rangeland ecology; Davis; Brandon Gould, of Ulm, a fall graduate in natural resources and rangeland ecology; Weston Helle, a
sophomore from Dillon majoring in natural resources and rangeland ecology; Connor Hodgskiss, a senior from Choteau majoring in plant science; and John Walker, a senior from Livingston, majoring in agricultural business. Team members who competed in the plant identification contest were: Kegen Benson, a junior from Whiteland, Indiana, majoring in natural resources and rangeland ecology; Blackman; Tori Chulyak, a junior from Tehachapi, California, majoring in natural resources and rangeland ecology; Davis; Michael Hamel, a senior from Chester majoring in natural resources and rangeland ecology; and Jessica Hickel, a senior from Billings majoring in natural resources and rangeland ecology.
Surprising Marriage Laws You Might Be Breaking Right Now
6. Ready, aim, fire! In the town of Truro on Cape Cod, the groom-to-be must prove his manliness before marriage by hunting and killing either six blackbirds or three crows. 7. Drunk? (Or just stupid?) Sober up before you say “I do.” If the Mississippi county clerk issuing your marriage license believes that you or your betrothed is drunk, insane, or an “imbecile,” he or she can deny you the license. And if that’s the case, avoid getting hitched in Tennessee too. 8. Fourth time? Not a charm. After three failed marriages, it’s probably time to tell each other goodbye. Kentucky is helping its women make smarter decisions, by making it illegal to marry the same man four times. 9. Here, kissing cousins can legally marry.First cousins are allowed to marry in Utah only if they are over 65-yearsold. (Read: infertile.) 10. Sorry, Miss Cleo can’t pronounce you man and wife in this town. Before you give your favorite psychic a ring, know that it’s illegal for a palm reader or a psychic to officiate and marry people in New Orleans. 11. Here, you could’ve gotten married before you could play scratch-off lottery. For a brief period in 2007 to 2008, it was legal in Arkansas for children under the age of 18 to get married, with parental consent. We anticipate a reality series once MTV discovers this actually happened. 12. I love you, wherever you are. To facilitate weddings for servicemen and women who may be abroad, California, Colorado, Texas, and Montana allow “marriage by proxy,” which means either the groom or the bride can have someone attend the ceremony in his or her place. Montana even allows double proxy weddings, where neither party needs to be present. 13. No PDA on the Lord’s Day. Save the romantic walk in the park for Saturday: it’s illegal to smooch your wife in public on Sundays in Hartford, Connecticut.

“You want to have high-yielding, uniform fleece to get the best profit from your wool crop,” Williams said. The data from the MSU research flock are registered with the National Sheep Improvement Program, which maintains a database of sheep genetics that producers reference for breeding sheep for wool quality and other characteristics, Stewart said. Many of the sheep breeds being raised in Montana were developed half a century ago, and since then, research about wool yield has stagnated, in large part because of the logistical challenges of sampling wool from large numbers of sheep, according to Stewart. That’s why he approached MMEC about a year ago and asked for help. “I knew they were a resource that I could turn to,” Stewart said of MMEC, which is housed in MSU’s College of Engineering and supports manufacturing in the state through various forms of outreach and assistance. MMEC director Paddy Fleming said he and his colleagues enjoyed the engineering challenge of designing the machine. Former MMEC engineer Rob Cook, who graduated from MSU’s College of Engineering in 1988, was the primary designer. MMEC
selected Gerbers of Montana, Inc., an agricultural service provider and manufacturer in Great Falls, to fabricate the machine. According to Fleming, other land-grant universities have expressed interest in the machine, which could translate to business for Gerbers. Prior to the MSU shearing, the machine was used in February to sample wool from about 200 sheep at the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Sheep Experiment Station near Dubois, Idaho, as well as about 100 sheep from more than a dozen Montana wool growers who participated in an MSU Extension program that provides a standardized assessment of the breeding value of ram sheep. The MSU Wool Lab is one of only two wool research facilities at land-grant universities in the U.S. According to Stewart, MSU Extension hopes to leverage the wool-testing machine’s capacity into providing increased assistance to Montana wool growers. “We took our knowledge of animal husbandry and wool, and combined it with MMEC’s engineering expertise, to make a unit that allows us to do research that needs to be done,” he said.

Montana State FFA news
The final edition of the Montana State FFA Career Development Events (competitions) took place May 1 – 3 in Big Timber. These events were the last opportunity for students and/or teams to qualify for national competition this coming fall in Indianapolis. Approximately eight-hundred competitors participated in this three-day event and took part in nine different competitions. The competitions included the following: Food Science, Horse Evaluation, Floriculture, Employment Skills, Vet Science, Forestry, Ag Communications, Agriculture Issues, and Marketing Plan. The Missoula FFA Chapter led the way by earning first place honors in three of the eight team events. Missoula won the Food Science event, the Horse Evaluation event and the Forestry event. Other winners included Kalispell winning the Vet Science event, Hinsdale winning the Floriculture contest, Victor winning the Marketing plan contest, Cascade winning the Ag Communications competition, and Corvallis winning the Ag Issues event. The ninth competition was an individual competition called Employment Skills. The first-place individual was Kolby Dietz from the Shepherd FFA Chapter. Finally, the sweepstakes awards were announced at the conclusion of this event. Sweepstakes is a culmination of all contest held throughout the year and recognizes chapters and individuals that have earned the highest placings. This year’s chapter sweepstakes award was earned by the Missoula chapter followed by Flathead and Choteau in third. Individually, the sweepstakes award was presented to Nathan Wildeboer from Missoula in first, placing second was Sheridan Johnson from Conrad and placing third was Ethan Turner from Missoula. The eight State FFA Officers will participate in a variety of activities this summer. BLAST OFF training hosted by National FFA Staff will occur in Bozeman, Alumni Leadership Camp will be held in Highwood, Montana Range Days is being hosted in Red Lodge, and the National Leadership Conference for State Officers will happen in Cody, Wyoming. These four activities all occur in the month of June. Two officers will participate in the State Presidents Conference in Washington D.C. in July and all of the officers will attend a variety of the county and state fairs in July. Perhaps the highlight of the summer activities will occur the second week of August when the officers take a week-long tour to the west coast to focus on the grain industry. This tour will include stops in Wenatchee, Seattle, and Portland to name a few. The Montana Wheat and Barley Committee and other generous sponsors make this opportunity possible.
Welcome to Thunder Basin invites visitors to linger
By University of Wyoming Extension A new guide to Thunder Basin supplies a quick orientation for anyone who wants to learn more about the wide-open, wildlife-rich landscapes where the Great Plains meet the sagebrush steppe. Free from University of Wyoming (UW) Extension, Welcome to Thunder Basin is available at bit.ly/UWEpubs. In four pages and 19 photos, Welcome to Thunder Basin supplies a view of the ecology, wildlife, public lands history, land use and research in the area of northeast Wyoming that includes Thunder Basin National Grassland. “The grassland doesn’t always make life in the field easy,” writes Courtney Duchardt in Welcome to Thunder Basin. A University of Wyoming (UW) graduate student in ecology and ecosystem science and management, Duchardt has spent more than 235 days (and nights) in Thunder Basin camping, photographing and conducting research. The factsheet is the first in a series from University of Wyoming Extension in partnership with the Thunder Basin Research Initiative, area ranchers and energy companies, the U.S. Department of Agriculture, U.S. Forest Service and the Thunder Basin Grasslands Prairie Ecosystem Association. “This landscape is a patchwork,” writes Duchardt. “It’s a place where…wildlife and cattle coexist and where ranchers, researchers and energy executives share the goals of learning what the grassland has to teach…” Welcome to Thunder Basin is one of more than 600 how-to guides from UW Extension (see bit.ly/UWEpubs) that help extend skills in cooking, canning, calving, estate planning and community change, plus gardening, grazing, pruning, cropping, habitat restoration and more. YouTube video series from UW Extension include From the Ground Up, Barnyards and Backyards and Exploring the Nature of Wyoming.
New homeowners guide to landslides
By Washington State Department of Natural Resources The Washington State Department of Natural Resources (DNR) and the Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries (DOGAMI) have released a new guide to help homeowners identify and reduce landslide hazards around the home. The pamphlet offers general guidance homeowners should consider regarding their home and property, including landslide warning signs and who to contact if they suspect active landslides on their property. “Our job is to understand Washington’s complex geology and how it impacts the people who live here,” said State Geologist Dave Norman. “We want to make sure we put that information into their hands.” Landslides common in Washington, Oregon Landslides are one of the most common natural hazards in the Pacific Northwest. Due to their steep topography and heavy precipitation, Washington and Oregon are some of the most landslide-prone states in the country. This winter’s heavy snow and rain totals have resulted in a high number of landslides in both states. Landslide conditions vary from site to site—if you are concerned about your property, it is always best to consult a professional. As the official geological surveys of their respective states, DNR and DOGAMI are working to further the understanding of geologic hazards. “Mapping and studying landslides and other hazards is an essential first step in identifying practical ways to reduce risk to Oregon’s people and communities,” said State Geologist Brad Avy. Working to further landslide knowledge Thanks to a legislative appropriation in 2015, DNR is collecting new, high-resolution lidar and using that data to produce maps of Washington’s geologic hazards, particularly landslides. Lidar can reveal past landslides otherwise obscured by vegetation. The Washington Lidar Portal is designed to allow for easy access and download of that information. To view the portal, visit: lidarportal.dnr.wa.gov. For more about lidar, visit www.dnr.wa.gov/lidar New mapping has increased knowledge of Oregon’s landslide hazards as well. A 2016 statewide landslide susceptibility map identified areas at risk for future landslides, which helps Oregonians better understand the potential hazard in their communities. DOGAMI’s interactive SLIDO map offers a look at landslide hazards, and is a useful tool for identifying areas that are susceptible to landslides: www. oregongeology.org/slido The pamphlet is available online on the DNR website at http://file.dnr.wa.gov/publications/ger_homeowners_ guide_landslides.pdf and the DOGAMI website at http:// www.oregongeology.org/sub/Landslide/ger_homeowners_guide_landslides.pdf More information about landslides in Washington is available at http://www.dnr.wa.gov/programs-and-services/ geology/geologic-hazards/landslides#landslide-hazards-inwashington-state Information about Oregon landslides can be found at http://www.oregongeology.org/sub/Landslide/Landslidehome.htm
National Splurge Day
When: Always June 18th It’s National Splurge Day, oh Yeah! There are certain dates on the calendar that you look forward to with great excitement. You mark the date and wait in eager anticipation. For me, National Splurge Day is one of those very special days. National Splurge Day is a day to treat yourself excessively, to anything you want. And, to excess if you desire. Isn’t that a great thing? Maybe, you’re on a diet, and that special dessert is too many calories. Maybe, you want to buy a steak, and the budget is a little tight. Toss out the reservations, and go for it today. Celebrate this day to the fullest degree. Treat yourself to whatever you want and to excess. For, this is a day to splurge. Do so without worry or concern...until tomorrow.
##### “I tried out one of those talking cars,” Joe tells his buddy, “but I didn’t like it.” “Why not?” says his friend. “Because all it says is things like ‘Your door is ajar’ and ‘Your gas tank is almost empty,’” the man replies. “Nothing really useful like ‘There’s a state trooper parked behind that bush.’” ##### Fred intended to take his camouflage tent to the campground, but he just couldn’t find it.

Center of Excellence launched for better, safer packaged food
By Seth Truscott, WSU CAHNRS Our favorite packaged foods should also be the healthiest for us. This year, dozens of prepackaged foods, from frozen burritos to turkey salad, were recalled in the United States. Juming Tang, scientist at Washington State University (WSU), is doing his part to help make packaged food safer, while using fewer preservatives. In March, Tang launched the first national Center of Excellence for Food Safety using Microwave Energy at WSU. “We’re working to spread new knowledge and technologies,” said Tang, “so that food companies, small and large, can produce high-quality, healthy prepackaged meals with longer shelf lives, free from pathogens and chemical preservatives.” “The benefits will be safer food, better products and more competitive small businesses,” he said. Tang has developed two new technologies: microwave assisted thermal sterilization, or MATS, and microwave assisted pasteurization systems, or MAPS. Both use a combination of microwave heat and a hot water tunnel to rapidly heat packaged food to sterilization or pasteurization temperatures and hold it there for a minimum amount of time before quickly cooling it down. Tang says MATS and MAPS will help food companies comply with the FDA Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) and will particularly benefit rural communities, where most small and medium companies are located. “Most small companies don’t have the expertise and infrastructure to develop and test new technologies like this themselves,” he said. “We’ll be able to provide handson facilities for them to develop their own products using MATS and MAPS.” The four-year program is funded by $4 million from the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Institute of Food and Agriculture program and its Agriculture and Food Research Initiative. Kickoff meeting connects industry On March 14, WSU researchers joined representatives from dozens of food processing, packaging, equipment, and supply chain companies in Seattle for a kickoff meeting of the Industrial Microwave Alliance. The Alliance helps the new Center of Excellence with innovation, technology transfer and adoption of new technologies. “Everyone was excited about the depth and breadth of the expertise the Center brings together,” said Tang. “This faceto-face meeting allowed us to establish industry contacts for future research, and fine-tune our research plans.” Participating companies included Amazon, Toppan, Kuraray, Trident Seafood, Smucker’s, Bay Valley Foods, Muegge-Gerling, Mitsubishi Gas Chemical America, Inc., and 915 Labs. WSU participants included Center Project Manager Graham Barnett, research engineers Frank Liu and Zhongwei Tang, Pilot Plant Manager Frank Younce, WSU Technology Licensing Associate Norman Ong, CAHNRS Business Development Specialist Albert Tsui, Senior Associate Dean in the Carson College of Business David Sprott, Director of Corporate Relations University Advancement Dana Ulrich, and graduate students Sasha Barnett and Kara Grant. Special guests included John Gardner, WSU Vice President for University Advancement; Jim Moyer, CAHNRS Associate Dean of Research; Nate Anderson, FDA Agricultural Engineer; and George Muntean of the Pacific Northwest National Lab. Along with Tang, core Center researchers include WSU faculty members Shyam Sablani, Carolyn Ross and Karina Gallardo. Collaborators include the Carson College of Business, North Carolina State University, University of Tennessee, the U.S. Army Natick Soldier Systems Center, and Seafood Products Association.

Throughout history, horses have been used for battle, transportation, farming, and ranching. Today, horses are primarily used for mounted police work, rescue efforts, transportation (riding and driving), ranch work, recreation, entertainment, racing, competition, and equine-assisted therapy. Some Miniature Horses are now being used as seeing-eye horses for the blind.

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

Grilled fruits and vegetables add flair to your menu
By Julie Garden-Robinson, Food and Nutrition Specialist, NDSU Extension Service When I was in high school, my brother gave my parents a charcoal barbecue grill. I don’t think they were impressed with it. I took a liking to the grill, though. I liked to cook, so I would make burgers and potato-vegetable packets for the family. My dad preferred to cook on a camp stove on the picnic table using a cast-iron frying pan with lots of added fat. He made the world’s greatest fried potatoes. When I got married, one of our gifts was a gas grill. We have had numerous meals from that grill, and my husband has somehow kept the grill going for almost 24 years. He frequently swaps out parts, just like tinkering with an old car. It looks like the weathered grills on boulevards during clean-up week, but it still works. I bought him a fancy grill for our 20th anniversary, but yes, we still have our “old standby” grill on our patio. Has the aroma of grilled food wafted in your direction? Now’s the time when grills come out of storage, unless you have an indoor grill or you brave the winter cold for a grilled burger. We have a variety of grills available to us that differ in price and function. They include gas grills, charcoal grills and infrared or electric grills. My best advice: Be sure to read the owners manual for tips on cooking, cleaning and maintaining your grill. Grilling uses direct or indirect heat. Direct heat means food is grilled directly above heat. Indirect heat means the food is not directly above heat but still is being heated. Be sure to take your time and be patient when waiting for charcoal grills to heat. You may think you are burning something and remove it before it is done. Follow recipes and remember, grilling can be trial and error. Also remember food safety first. Bring a clean plate to the grill to retrieve the cooked food. You don’t want the bacterial juices from raw meat contaminating your delicious cooked food. This season, expand your grilling menu with fruits and vegetables in addition to your favorite protein foods. Invest in a grilling basket to enjoy grilled veggies and fruits. When using skewers, choose vegetables and fruits of like thickness and water content. Cut them the same size to ensure even cooking. Here are some additional tips to ensure a tasty grilling season: • Rinse produce and prepare for grilling. Remove the stems, seeds and cores from fruits and vegetables before grilling. • When preparing whole fruits or vegetables, cut them into slices unless otherwise specified. • Prepare bell peppers by cutting off the top and bottom of the pepper. Remove the core and then cut the pepper in half from top to bottom. (This way, you end up with two flat rectangles that are grilled skin side down.) • Sprinkle wedges of apple or pear with cinnamon and a touch of brown sugar. Grill for about five minutes per side. • Brush peeled, whole bananas with canola or sunflower oil and add to the grill just until the fruit turns golden and has grill marks, or about five minutes per side. • For a fun alternative to the summer classic s’mores, cut a 3/4-inch-deep slit down the length of an unpeeled banana. Pry the slit open and stuff with 2 tablespoons of chopped dark chocolate or your favorite candy bar. Wrap the banana in foil and grill for about five minutes on each side. • Grill peaches and nectarines for a side dish to go with steak or pork tenderloin. After cooking, the fruit can be diced and made into a salsa or relish by adding fresh herbs, chili peppers and lime juice or vinegar. Because only 10 percent of adults meet the daily recommendation for fruits and vegetables (about 4 1/2 cups), here’s a recipe to get you started. The heat of the grill causes the natural sugars to caramelize, which adds flavor to your menu. Grilled red bell peppers are my favorite, by the way. Give them a try, along with a variety of produce items. CONTINUED ON PAGE C19
Faculty startup named innovation business of the year
By University of Nebraska-Lincoln IANR News Goldfinch Solutions, a University of Nebraska–Lincoln (UNL) faculty startup company, has been named the Nebraska Business Development Center’s Innovation Business of the Year. They received the award at a recent ceremony at the Nebraska State Capitol. Goldfinch Solutions was founded in 2008 by Jeyam Subbiah, Kenneth E. Morrison Distinguished Professor of Food Engineering, Chris Calkins, professor of animal science, and Ashok Samal, professor of computer science and engineering, based off of research they conducted at the university. Goldfinch is pioneering multispectral imaging technology to identify tender beef at the packing stage of production. “You can’t tell the tenderness of a steak by the naked eye. With multispectral imaging, we can capture information about that steak that will identify the properties of the muscle and tell us if it’s tender or not,” said Calkins, senior vice president. According to Calkins, 80 percent of all carcasses from fed cattle qualify for a USDA “Choice” or “Prime” rating, which means there is not much distinction between the ratings. The Goldfinch imaging system allows the user to certify the tenderness of a rib eye steak and apply that guarantee to similar cuts from the same source. “If we can screen those cattle and provide that guarantee, we believe consumers would pay a premium for that meat,” Calkins said. During their software development process, Goldfinch has tested thousands of steaks and has a 95 percent accuracy rating when classifying the meat as tender. While the hardware and software are not currently on the market, the team hopes to soon get the technology into packing houses and grocery stores. Since 2008, Goldfinch Solutions has received a total of $850,000 in funding from two Small Business Innovation Research program grants, in addition to support from the Nebraska Department of Economic Development. Subbiah, who serves as president of the company, said Goldfinch would not have been able to secure funding without the assistance of NBDC. “Early on when we were trying to make tight deadlines to secure funding, NBDC really helped us navigate the grant application processes,” Subbiah said. “NBDC has been pivotal to the company’s progression.” Goldfinch Solutions joined with Paul Engler to form a second company, TenderSpec, to market the technology. The legendary cattleman is in the Cattle Feeders Hall of Fame, Meat Industry Hall of Fame and also founded the Engler Agribusiness Entrepreneurship Program at the university. The NBDC is part of the College of Business Administration at the University of Nebraska Omaha. The goal of the center is to help Nebraska businesses grow and create new jobs. Certified NBDC consultants provide confidential, impartial services and educational opportunities for established startup businesses, researchers, entrepreneurs and professionals.

New online tool helps growers find on-farm research results
By University of Nebraska-Lincoln IANR News A new tool is available on the Nebraska On-Farm Research Network website that allows growers to click on a map of Nebraska to find out about research projects conducted on farms in their area. The results finder contains over 600 studies and is updated annually. The finder is also mobile friendly and allows growers to select one, several or all counties. The database behind the map allows growers to search by keyword, filter results by year, crop, irrigation, topic and subtopic, or explore using the map. “We have an abundance of information available to growers and crop advisers,” said Laura Thompson, Nebraska Extension educator. “We wanted to make the results finder easy to use and data-rich. New data will be added each year as studies are completed.” The results finder is under “Research Results” on the on-farm research website at http://cropwatch.unl.edu/onfarm-research. While the finder is the newest way to obtain research results, the 2016 growing season research results book is also available on the website as a PDF. The book was produced for the network’s research update sessions held at several sites across Nebraska earlier this year and contains results of studies completed during last year’s growing season. “We make the research findings available in several ways so that growers and crop advisers can learn in the way that works best for them – whether that is the searchable database, the PDF book or networking at our update meetings,” Thompson said. “Websites and booklets are great tools, but we frequently hear from growers that they find great value in the interactions with other growers at the annual update meetings.” The on-farm research network is a collaborative partnership that includes Nebraska Extension, the Nebraska Corn Board, the Nebraska Corn Growers Association, the Nebraska Soybean Checkoff and the Nebraska Dry Bean Commission. The goal of the network is to put to use a statewide on-farm research program addressing critical farmer production, profitability and natural resources questions. For more information, contact Thompson at 402-472-8043 or laura.thompson@unl.edu, or contact a local Nebraska Extension office.

Date When Celebrated : Always June 29 Camera Day is best celebrated with pictures. Pictures are invaluable memories of our lives and of the world. They tell stories. Our memories and stories are captured by a camera. With digital technology, using a camera has never been easier. Cameras are now built into cell phones, so you always have a camera with you, ready to record the moments of your life. To many people, a camera is a vital tool to record important events in the family and in the world. It captures the moment.....forever. It creates the memories that we share and look back upon. From the birth of a baby, to high school graduations, people take pictures at a fast click. Year after year, the camera records family vacations, holidays and Christmas. The camera takes pictures of good times, and occasionally bad time. George Eastman is the “Father of Photography”. He didn’t invent photography. He made many photographic inventions, and created the mass production that brought cameras into everyday use by millions, if not billions of people. His most famous slogan “You take the picture, we do the rest.” Celebrate Camera Day today in a memorable way. Use your digital camera and click the day away. Take certain to take plenty of selfies. You Can Make a Camera: You can make a camera that costs nothing. Its a great project for school, as a scout project, or just for fun. It’s the “Pinhole Camera”. A shoebox is infamous for storing pictures. It can also be converted into a camera. Take a shoebox and poke a pinhole in the middle of one end. Cover the pinhole with a piece of black tape. In a completely dark room, place a large piece of unexposed film (Yes, you can still get film at a camera store) on the inside of the end opposite the pinhole. Re-close the cover of the shoebox. Now, take a picture in a snap!
Idaho Appealing Court Decision Striking Down Ag-Gag Law
The state of Idaho is appealing a court decision that struck down its so-called ag-gag law, which was passed to punish food safety and animal rights activists who secretly film and reveal conditions for animals at agricultural facilities. Oral arguments on the law, which was ruled unconstitutional in 2015, are scheduled Friday in the Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. The Idaho judge who made the decision says it violates the right to free speech. Matthew Liebman is director of litigation with the Animal Legal Defense Fund, which originally challenged the law. “From our perspective, it’s quite clear that the purpose of this statute is to shut down one of the only available windows that the public has onto how animals are treated on factory farms,” he points out. The Idaho attorney general, as well as farm and cattle groups, say the law protects the property rights of agricultural producers. The law originally was passed after the animal rights group Mercy for Animals released a video in 2012 showing workers beating cows at Bettencourt Dairies in Hansen. Liebman says more than 100 undercover investigations across the country in recent years have revealed cruel conditions for animals on factory farms. He adds that mistreatment of animals on farms is widespread throughout the industry. “Rather than change those practices, the response of the industry has been to kill the messenger by criminalizing undercover investigations and really trying to keep the public in the dark about how animals are treated,” he states. Idaho is one of eight states that have passed ag-gag laws. It is the only state to strike down such a law. ##### In 1963, major league baseball pitcher Gaylord Perry remarked, “They’ll put a man on the moon before I hit a home run.” On July 20, 1969, an hour after Neil Armstrong set foot on the surface of the moon, Perry hit is first, and only, home run while playing for the San Francisco Giants.

Producers reminded to get coverage through State Hail Insurance Program
Trader’s Dispatch, June 2017 — Page C22
With Spring planting wrapping up throughout the state, the Montana Department of Agriculture (MDA) is again reminding producers to get covered through the State Hail Insurance Program. Montana producers can conveniently access and fill out applications for state hail insurance online by going to www.hail.mt.gov. Producers can insure crops against hail damage at the maximum coverage rate of $75 per acre for dryland and $114 for irrigated land. Rates charged are a percentage of the insured amount and vary by county. A detailed list of rates by county and crop can be found on the program’s website. An application for insurance and more details about payment options has been mailed to producers who previously purchased state hail insurance. For new policy applicants, information and applications are also available at www.hail.mt.gov. Completed forms can be emailed, mailed or faxed to the department or used as a refer-

Mountain biking in grizzly country, be prepared
By Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks Imagine you’re riding hard down a mountain trail. The thrill of the tight trees, narrow trail and fast speed is undeniable and invigorating. As the trail you’re on weaves around a thicket of alder and huckleberries there’s a sow grizzly and two small cubs. These hypothetical chance encounters can become more likely as the sport of mountain biking takes off in many communities around Montana and as the state’s grizzly bear population continues to expand. In many of Montana’s growing communities – from Bozeman, to Missoula, to Helena and the Flathead – mountain bikers are finding more trails to ride and businesses to cater to their needs. But just like hikers, hunters and other recreationists, mountain bikers must take special precautions when riding in bear country. Though many of the safety precautions are the same for mountain bikers as other recreationists, mountain biking does pose some different considerations – speed and noise. Mountain bikers are often traveling at high rate of speed and are quiet. This can create a dangerous scenario. “Slowing down might not make for the most entertaining ride, but it’s a key precaution in grizzly bear country, especially in areas where visibility is limited.” said Ken McDonald, FWP wildlife division administrator. “Additionally, it’s important to make noise when riding in confined areas where visibility is limited to alert bears of your presence and avoid surprising them at a close distance.” Along with reducing speed and finding ways to make noise additional safety precautions include: • Carry and know how to use bear pepper spray for emergencies. • Let someone know where you are going and when you plan to return. • Travel in groups of three or more people whenever possible and plan to be out in the daylight hours. All members of the party should carry and know how to use bear spray. • If a member of the party is attacked by a bear, the other members of the party should be ready to use their bear spray on the bear to stop the attack, even if it means also spraying their fellow rider. • Stay on trails or rural roads. • Watch for signs of bears such as bear scat, diggings, torn-up logs and turned over rocks, and partly consumed animal carcasses. • Use caution in areas like berry patches where bears may be feeding. • Don’t approach a bear; respect their space and move off. Specifically for mountain bikers, keeping bear spray in a readily accessible location is important. Various items are available at retailers that allow mountain bikers to keep bear spray readily at hand. These include chest holsters and holders that attach the bear spray to the bike frame. Another key safety point for mountain bikers is speed. Unlike other recreationists, mountain bikers can travel through the woods at a high rate of speed and come upon unsuspecting grizzly bears very quickly. Mountain bikers should consider slowing down in bear country, particularly in areas where visibility is limited. As grizzly bear populations expand and numbers increase around Montana, recreationists should be prepared to encounter bears around much of western and southwestern Montana.
Summer Solstice
Date When: June 21, 2017 Summer Solstice is sometimes referred to as “Midsummer” Litha.” It’s the longest day of the year. The amount of daylight only goes down from here....for the next six months (more on that later). Summer Solstice is the meteorological start of summer. It’s time to enjoy vacations, great weather, pools, baseball, and everything else that goes along with the favorite season of kids and most adults. Grab your favorite beverage and enjoy the season, because for many of us it is all too short. Did you know? The sun does not set at the North Pole today. There is 24 hours of sunlight. Does it make up for that cold day in December when the sun does not rise above the horizon? No, but on this day it sure does feel good wherever you are!

Hoophouses give WSU organic farm an early launch
By CAHNRS Communications When you’re a teaching farm at a university, the winter and early spring months require creativity and innovation. “There just isn’t much for students to do in the fields in the spring semester,” said Brad Jaeckel, manager of the Washington State University’s (WSU) Eggert Family Organic Farm. “So using season extenders, like our hoophouses, is really valuable for them to get some hands-on experience.” Low-tech but efficient The farm has around 4,500 square feet of farmable soil underneath three separate hoophouses, Jaeckel said. The buildings, constructed with a steel frame that’s wrapped in insulating plastic, work much like greenhouses, though without any extra heating or lighting. Optimal crops and timing “They’re really low tech, but are so useful and effective, especially this year,” he said. “Because of the late-arriving warm weather and the wet conditions, we’re really behind in getting many of our summer crops in the ground. These hoophouses have kept our students busy and provided food to organizations that need them.” In order to figure out which crops would work best in the hoophouses, the farm did extensive research, he said. “We had graduate students spending several winters to figure out the optimal crops and timing for when to plant them,” Jaeckel said. “And we can share that information with interested farmers in the region. But basically, spinach and kale work the best, and we plant in late September or early October.” For the last month or so, and continuing into May, the students have been tending to and harvesting spinach and a little kale grown on the farm. Spinach harvest bountiful These veggies were all planted early last fall and went dormant over the winter, Jaeckel said. And even in a winter as harsh as this one, they came right back much earlier than a plant growing outdoors would have. In fact, the spinach harvest this year has been one of the best the farm has ever seen, with around 136 pounds of spinach harvested just last week. All this fresh produce feeds the Palouse, getting sold and served up by local organizations. The three biggest customers for the Eggert farm’s early spinach are the Moscow Food Co-op, both the produce section and the deli, the WSU student-athlete kitchens, and the Whitman County Council on Aging. “It’s really great to provide these important organizations with fresh, organic produce at a time when there just isn’t much available,” Jaeckel said. “And knowing that the spinach is being enjoyed by WSU athletes and folks at senior centers means a lot.” Early budget bonus By selling the produce, the farm gets an early-season budget boost that helps at a time of year when there are more expenses than profits. That income is put to good use, paying for important expenses like seed for summer crops or equipment maintenance, Jaeckel said. Sometime in May, when the spinach starts to taper off, they’ll till those plants under and start planting their summer hoophouse crops: tomatoes, peppers, basil, and cucumbers.

Date When Celebrated: Third Sunday in June A day to honor Dad. NO. Rather, it is a day to enjoy time with Dad and appreciate all he does for you. What Dad really wants is healthy, happy and successful kids. And, he wants you to spend a few moments with him on Father’s Day. Today’s life style is busy for both dads and kids. So, a little time with dad on Father’s Day is just what he wants. A Father is more than the biological paternal source of our being. It is the person who cares and provides for us. It is the man who helps to set the standards, the family values and the example. So, add to this group step-fathers and other men who willingly and eagerly accept and cherish the role. Whether biological, adopted or informally, if they are the father figure to you, give him some recognition today and don’t hesitate to call him “Dad”. Did you know? The first Father’s Day celebration was in Spokane, Washington on May 18, 1910.

By Iowa State University of Science and Technology Iowa State University (ISU) researchers for the first time have mapped the various molecular components that govern how environmentally stressed plants interrupt their normal growth pathways by tapping into an important energy recycling function. The research, published recently in the peer-reviewed academic journal Developmental Cell, shows that autophagy, a system by which both plants and animals recycle energy and molecular components, plays a key role in slowing plant growth during times of stress. Yanhai Yin, a professor of genetics, development and cell biology and a Plant Sciences Institute Faculty Scholar, said plants slow their growth when they experience stress such as drought, a prolonged lack of sunlight or any other lowenergy circumstance. But teasing out the genetic interactions that result in slower growth has puzzled scientists for years. Yin and his colleagues have focused their research on a gene known as BES1, which promotes plant growth in response to a plant hormone called brassinosteroid. In their latest paper, the researchers demonstrate that stress sets off a series of reactions that allow autophagy to inhibit plant growth. One of these reactions involves a protein known as DSK2 that acts like a bridge linking BES1 and the autophagy pathway, said Trevor Nolan, a doctoral student in Yin’s lab and the lead author of the paper. Diane Bassham, a professor of genetics, development and cell biology and the Walter E. and Helen Parke Loomis Professor of Plant Physiology, also contributed to the research team. “We have been studying autophagy for a number of years as a process for bulk digestion of cell contents during environmental stress,” Bassham said. “This recent work shows that it can also act in an exquisitely selective pathway for the digestion of a single growth regulator to coordinate growth with stress responses.” Justin Walley, an assistant professor of plant pathology and microbiology, used a high-resolution analytical technique called mass spectrometry to monitor protein modification, which showed the targeting of BES1 to autophagy by DSK2 is modified by a protein called BIN2, another key player in the brassinosteroid signaling pathway. “We’re really excited by the discovery that BIN2 modifies DSK2, and that this modification is actually responsible for controlling the balance between plant growth and plant stress responses,” Walley said. Nolan said the discovery could help plant breeders create crop varieties that can continue to grow under stressful situations. But, because autophagy plays an important role in animals as well as plants, the research could have implications beyond plant science. “Understanding the basic science of how these processes are regulated could have implications not just for plants but for human health as well,” Yin said. This research was supported by the ISU Plant Sciences Institute and by a grant from the National Institutes of Health recently awarded to the team to continue studying the interaction between brassinosteroid and autophagy pathways.

Date When Celebrated : June 13th and September 10th Sewing Machine Day celebrates a very important invention ----- the sewing machine. The first sewing machines were made in France in the 1830s. It wasn’t until 1846, that they were patented in the U.S. What a great invention. Prior to it’s creation, clothes items were sewn together by hand...stitch by stitch. People who know how to use a sewing machine are dwindling in number. Our mothers and grandmothers had a sewing machine in the house. They used it, too. But, look around your house. Do you have a sewing machine? Chances are, the answer is no. If you have a sewing machine, enjoy making things with it. If not, consider picking up sewing as a hobby. Today’s Saying: “A stitch in time saves nine.” Interpretation: “Saves nine what?” you ask. Well, stitches of course. One stitch made right away, prevents further breakage and will not require nine more stitches later.

MSU alum Norm Asbjornson donates $2 million By Jenny Lavey for the MSU News Service CONTINUED FROM PAGE C27
beginning of the fourth year of the endowment’s five-year fundraising plan. MSU plans to meet the remaining $200,000 through private development, according to Kevin Brown, senior director of development with the MSU Alumni Foundation. The Montana Plant Sciences Chair was conceived five years ago, when the Montana Grains Foundation and dozens of other Montana farmers rallied together to invest $1 million from their own pockets for grains-focused research at MSU. In the following two years, an additional $1.8 million was raised from Montana producers and agribusiness. “The investment from Montana producers in this chair has been remarkable,” said Charles Boyer, MSU vice president of agriculture. Farmers across the state continue to battle pests like the wheat stem sawfly and other abiotic stressors that damage wheat yields and threaten a sustainable agricultural economy, and Montana wheat producers must be vigilant in keeping their crops healthy and viable, Boyer added. MSU – the state’s oldest and largest landgrant institution – joined the grassroots call to bring a world-renowned scientist to the university who would help Montana grain growers remain competitive and sustainable through research tailored specifically for Montana’s current and future challenges in production agriculture. Together, Montana’s agricultural community and MSU challenged themselves to raise $5 million dollars in five years to bring a permanent endowed plant science chair to MSU. The chair has since grown into a vision for expanding statewide support for Montana’s grain growers with the help of MSU faculty and the Montana Grains Foundation, Montana Wheat and Barley Committee, Montana Grain Growers Association and a multitude of agribusinesses and grain producers. Asbjornson, a 1960 mechanical engineering graduate from the MSU College of Engineering, said the future of food is in the hands of farmers. With that, he added, comes responsibility. “We have a responsibility to support and invest in programs that can have enormous economic (impact) for Montana’s agricultural economy,” he said. “MSU understands how integral producers are to applied research for the state, and I’m excited to join the Montana agricultural community in support of this endowment.” Asbjornson added that climatic, water, disease and pest threats will continue to stress Montana’s top crop, and that funds must be invested in technological research that produces top-quality wheat genetics for Montana growers. Boyer said the endowment will allow the current Winifred Asbjornson Plant Sciences Chair, Hikmet Budak, MSU professor of plant sciences and plant pathology, to remain competitive in an integrative research program for Montana grains and find ways to strengthen the vitality of Montana wheat. Budak, who works closely with national and international advisory councils comprised of Montana farmers, agribusinesses, non-profit organizations and grower representative groups, said Asbjornson’s recent investment marks an important step for the chair’s future. “The enormous generosity of Mr. Asbjornson will ultimately transform the ability of Montana grain growers to remain sustainable and profitable, from research provided by the state’s cornerstone land-grant institution, because it is led by and has partnered with Montana producers,” Budak said. “On behalf
of MSU and our important partnership with Montana producers and Mr. Asbjornson, we’re honored to name this cooperative chair after the agricultural legacy that Mr. Asbjornson will undoubtedly leave. I’m honored to serve as the first Winifred Asbjornson Plant Sciences Chair and look forward to meaningful successes alongside all who have given to this program.” Budak’s lab focuses on innovative wheat genetics and genomics in response to pests and abiotic stress while adding nutrient value to wheat. Most recently, Budak, along with a team of 14 international scientists, successfully sequenced and mapped the genome – or complete genetic code – of durum wheat. Budak`s team is currently working on sequencing DNA and RNA code of a Montana winter wheat cultivar, Yellowstone, with an international consortium. Budak said the data is the first step to understanding which genes are present in the local wheat genome. Harnessing this knowledge to produce higherquality Montana durum and bread wheat lines will also increase resistance to pests, environmental stress and disease, he added. Research advancements have major implications for Montana wheat farmers, according to Lola Raska, executive vice-president of Montana Grains Foundation (MGF). Raska said the endowment is a lifetime commitment to Montana grain producers. “MGF has worked hard over the last four years to take a vision to a reality,” Raska said. “This has been a collaborative effort by our farmers, their organizations and supporting businesses, and it’s inspiring we’re so close to full endowment, thanks to Mr. Asbjornson’s investment and confidence in Montana agriculture.” Dale Schuler, MGF president, said the endowment’s success was always meant to benefit the industry by way of being anchored to Montana farmers. “For our donors, this project has been about investing in Montana agriculture,” said Schuler. “We know that the collaborative nature of the endowment is an advantage for Montana farmers, and MSU has proven adept at connecting research to our at-large society.” Gary Broyles, owner of Broyles Farms, Inc. in Rapelje, said he believes the chair’s research impact will transfer to other areas of food production. “What’s wonderful about a program like this is that it has every potential to transcend beyond grains research,” Broyles said. “When you have the building blocks at the genome-sequencing level, it provides a pathway to other areas like nutrition and producing protein for a global food supply, so that the foundational programs in agriculture are in tandem with another.” Asbjornson, who grew up in a one-room, 800-square-foot house, is the founder and CEO of AAON, a NASDAQ-traded heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) manufacturer based in Tulsa, Oklahoma, with annual revenues of $400 million and more than 1,800 employees. In 2004, he received an honorary doctorate in engineering from MSU and the Montana Board of Regents. Asbjornson has funded five endowments with the MSU Alumni Foundation, four of which are scholarship endowments and one that focuses on rural education initiatives through the Winifred Asbjornson Rural Education Initiatives Fund. In addition to Asbjornson, names of the supporters of the Winifred Asbjornson Plant Sciences Chair can be found at msuaf.org/ pscdonors.
Nebraska Extension creating healthy environments
By University of Nebraska-Lincoln IANR News Nebraska Extension is increasing its healthy lifestyle programming to combat childhood obesity across the state by implementing programs to improve healthy eating and physical activity patterns in youth. Extension professionals focused on food, nutrition, and health, Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, Expanded Food and Nutrition Education Program, 4-H and The Learning Child are teaming up to create healthier home, school and community environments to make healthy choices, the more desirable choice. “There is a critical need to reduce childhood overweight and obesity rates by encouraging healthy habits,” said Nebraska Extension Educator Kayla Colgrove. “Extension programming not only improves eating patterns and increases physical activity in youth, but it also helps create those environments that support healthier living.” Through statewide programming and dynamic partnerships, Extension team members reached over 63,000 Nebraskans with programs focused on healthy habits in 2016. The programs are designed to teach children and youth how to choose healthy food and beverages, prepare food safely, fun ways to be active, alternatives to screen time and more. Along with the focus on community and home, Extension is also focused on helping to create a healthy environment in Nebraska schools. Recently, a collaboration between Extension, Tri County Public Schools, Nebraska Team Nutrition and several local businesses culminated in a farmers market at the school. During the lunch hour, nearly 400 Tri County students were able to sample a variety of locally grown food, including vegetables from the school’s new hydroponic garden system. “Tri County is very innovative with their approach to school wellness and the farmers market is an example of that,” said Colgrove. During the farmers market, Colgrove shared smoothie samples with the students that featured spinach as a main ingredient. Other samples included hummus, whole grain bread, local meats from Frank’s Smokehouse, cheese sticks from Classic Dairy and ice cream from Prairieland Dairy. The farmers market was a way to show students the different types of vegetables they could grow in their own garden. The school district’s goal is to grow vegetables that could be introduced into their school lunch program. Their hydroponic garden is soil-less, and feeds plants in water. They are currently growing heads of lettuce. “We are trying to get students on board with the idea of farm to school so we gave them a micro-view of what our garden will be like,” said Tri County Wellness Coordinator Jane Niemeier. “The closer that our students can get to the growing and preparation process for the produce, their environment will become healthier.” Extension is also helping Nebraska schools implement smarter lunchroom strategies. This effort is the result of a partnership between Extension, 4-H, SNAP-Ed, Nebraska Department of Education (NDE) Team Nutrition, and Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS). The smarter lunchroom strategies provide low to no cost solutions to reduce food waste and increase the consumption of healthy foods. Extension staff provide technical assistance to schools by helping the food service staff identify and diagnose school lunchroom challenges, and develop strategies to promote healthy choices. Additionally, school enrichment kits are available for elementary school teachers to assist in teaching nutrition and physical activity in their classrooms. The kits are designed to meet national health and state science standards. The kits include education on MyPlate food groups, basic nutrients, label reading, and planning a balanced meal. All materials needed to teach each lesson are included in the kits. According to Extension Educator Kristen Houska, Extension, in conjunction with Team Nutrition, NDE and DHHS, are trying to impact a variety of different policy, system and environmental approaches within Nebraska schools. “All of the approaches are designed to work in conjunction with each other, which makes a big impact when trying to create healthy environments across the school system,” Houska said. The goals of these efforts are for children and youth to increase consumption of healthy foods and beverages, engage in healthy levels of physical activity, and make the healthy choice, the more desirable choice.

NEW PRODUCT
By Chris Branam, Oregon State University Extension Greater sage-grouse, a bird that has been the subject of intense conservation efforts in recent decades, do better in areas where juniper trees have been removed, new research suggests. The four-year study is the first to link sage-grouse demographics with tree reduction and supports the idea of conserving sage-grouse by controlling conifer expansion into the bird’s habitat. In the last half of the 20th century, the proliferation of the western juniper in Oregon and pinyon pine in Nevada and Utah degraded the sagebrush ecosystem by forming dense stands that suck up rainwater and push sagebrush out. The findings are published in the journal PLOS ONE (http://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal. pone.0174347). “We are tremendously excited,” said Christian Hagen, an avian ecologist at Oregon State University (OSU) and a coauthor of the study. “The arrow is pointing in the right direction. The grouse are finding these areas where the juniper was taken out much more quickly than we anticipated.” This study focused on the encroachment of western juniper in southeast Oregon and just over the border in California and Nevada. Wildlife biologists in Oregon, Idaho and Montana, estimated a 25 percent increase in the sage-grouse population growth rate in an area where western juniper was being removed, either by cutting or burning, where juniper continued to spread slowly and the sage-grouse population did not increase. The researchers collected data on 219 female sage-grouse and 225 nests from 2010 to 2014 in an area in southeast Oregon where western juniper was being removed and an area with no removal in southeast Oregon, northeast California and northwest Nevada. Both areas involved both public and private lands. The annual survival of females from one breeding season to the next, and the survival of their nests over a month-long incubation period, both led to population REGULATOR 2.0 is a carbon surfactant growth over time, Hagen said. containing high amounts of energy and Oxygen. In the area where juniper was • Enhances herbicide burn down removed, female sage-grouse • Lowers pH of solution annual survival increased 6.6 • Delivers molecular Oxygen • Safe and easy to use percent each year, and the nest survival rate increased by 18.8 percent each year. Encroaching juniper degrades sage-grouse habitat in two ways: by outcompeting the sagebrush and by introducing trees that the birds consider threatening, said Hagen, a senior researcher in the College of Agricultural Sciences. Free Form’s Generation II liquid tank is the perfect solution for eliminating “Dense tree stands become algae formation in water tanks. The UV light blocking black interior coupled with perches and hiding cover for the light reflecting white exterior give the Generation II tank many advantages over conventional tanks. By reflecting the UV rays the exterior of the tank and predators, so sage-grouse it’s contents remain cool, this also prevents loss of strength that often caused avoid them,” Hagen said. black tanks to buckle when fastened to trucks. The trees that were removed were less than a hundred years old, Hagen said. Most of the juniper was cut down by hand-cutting and chainsaws and generally oc- ANHYDROUS curred from late fall to early spring, to both maximize shrub retention and minimize negative effects to grouse breeding activities. The study was led by John Severson, who conducted the research for his dissertation at the University of Idaho.

UW Extension bulletin examines conservation market exchanges
By University of Wyoming Extension Agricultural economists at the University of Wyoming (UW) explain conservation market exchanges in a bulletin from the University of Wyoming Extension. “Designing Markets for Habitat Conservation: Lessons Learned from Agricultural Markets Research,” B-1297, shows the importance of thinking about market design when setting up a habitat exchange or bank. The rules of trading can affect market outcomes for buyers and sellers, the authors state in the bulletin. A growing number of programs provide financial incentives to landowners to implement conservation. Conservation banks and exchanges protect land for habitat and other natural resource values to offset habitat loss elsewhere. Landowners generate credits by enrolling acres or parcels of land that have habitat value with agreements to preserve and manage the land. The bulletin can be viewed or downloaded by going to www.uwyo.edu/uwe and typing the title or B-1297.

What could come with cool wet weather?
By Jeremiah Vardiman, Agriculture Extension Educator, University of Wyoming We all know the old adage “April showers bring May flowers”, in the Big Horn Basin in particular these spring showers have also provided a flush of mustards. At this point, this year could potentially be setting up for a heavy pest pressure year for Wyoming’s crops. With this cool wet spring, make sure to spend time scouting fields for insect, disease and weed pressures that could be economically damaging to the crop yield. Currently the spring moisture has delayed field preparations, planting of fields and pesticide applications to keep these pest pressures in check. Various weeds, such as the mustards, are taking full advantage of this inability of control by growing thick, tall and flowering in attempts to produce seed. Generally speaking, the more mature and established a weed is, the more difficult it is to control. As the vegetation grows (weeds and desired crops), the plant canopy can become very dense creating the perfect conditions for both disease and insect pressures. In particular, cool wet spring conditions provide the perfect environment for various kinds of foliar diseases, some damping off and root rot diseases. Typically, these types of diseases are not usually a large concern because Wyoming’s arid climate provides a dry crop canopy, but not this year. Root rot is just like it sounds, it is a fungal disease that attacks and rots the roots of new and established plants. Whereas damping off disease is a fungal disease that attack the seedling plants rotting thru the stem at ground level. These diseases can infect various types of crops, such as barley, corn, dry beans, sugar beets, alfalfa and more. These fungal diseases are more of a problem when crops are planted and germinate under cool damp soil conditions. To combat this disease pressure, plant crops into soil temperatures appropriate for the crops germination and establishment. For example, sugar beets do well being planted in soil temperatures between 50 – 60 degrees Fahrenheit and dry beans should be planted in soil temperatures at a minimum of 60 degrees Fahrenheit. Fungicide seed treatments can provide

some help in managing these diseases. Unlike root rot and damping off diseases, foliar diseases attack and are seen on the above ground vegetation; stems, leaves, and flowering structures. There are many types of foliar diseases that can effect a specific crop and these diseases may or may not be host specific, this depends on the specific disease. For instance, there is a disease called stripe rust that affects both barley and winter wheat, however the rust that affects winter wheat does not normally affect barley and vice versa. A non-host specific disease would be like anthracnose, this disease grows on a wide variety of plants and can transfer from one host to another when conditions are favorable. Even though foliar diseases are typically noticed on above ground vegetation, some of these diseases originate in (infected) or on the seed (infested), called seed borne diseases, which means the crop is already infected or infested with the disease before the seed even germinates. The disease actually developed on the previous year’s seed crop, the infected/infested seed from this crop was harvested and then planted the following season. Seed treatments can manage infested seed but not infected seed do not have much control on seed borne diseases because the seed treatments typically manage diseases on the surface of the seed and germinating seedlings. Therefore there is no effect on diseases already established within the plant. Once a disease is established in a crop, control options are usually limited. Thus management of diseases typically follows the adage “ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure”. Preventative management generally focuses on stopping the disease’s life cycle and can be accomplished in many ways. The first step in preventative management is learning about the disease’s life cycle and identifying management strategies that can be implemented. Some examples of preventative management strategies would be maintaining healthy crops thru proper fertilization and irrigation, planting disease resistant varieties, managing crop rotations effectively, maintain unfavorable growing conditions in the crop canopy for diseases, sanitation (plowing and/or burning) and some fungicide applications could help. Integrating as many control options as feasibly possible provides the most effective control and prevention. As we move into summer, spend time scouting fields for various pest pressures that could be economically damaging to the crop yield. Be aware that Wyoming might experience some diseases that are not normally a problem because of this cool wet weather. Also understand that other factors such as nutrient deficiencies, cold damage or others, can also be mistaken for diseases. If you notice some abnormal symptoms in the field, contact specific crop advisors and the local extension office to help identify and provide solutions to this problem.
Focus on the Farm Economy
Farmers and ranchers have endured a 45 percent drop in net farm income over the last three years, the largest threeyear drop since the start of the Great Depression. The most recent ERS report now tells us that net farm income will be down again in 2017. Overall, ERS is forecasting a 50 percent drop in net farm income since 2013. With no relief in sight, it is more important now than ever to protect the Farm Bill and push back against attacks on the risk management tools that are vital to protecting U.S. farmers and ranchers. With this in mind, each of the six subcommittees will examine growing pressure in rural America from the perspective of the subcommittee. Some of these topics will focus on how the collapse in net farm is leading to a significant reduction in equipment purchases, changes in food prices for consumers, serious impacts on creditors and their ability to cash flow producers, pressure to reduce voluntary conservation efforts to save money, reductions in the use of cutting edge technology, growing impacts of regulatory overreach on farm profitability, and increased damage from disproportionately large foreign agricultural subsidies. ##### Make a drip pan to collect oil drips by placing corrugated cardboard in a cookie sheet.

Wildfire staff receives Lead by Example Award
By Washington State Department of Natural Resources Commissioner of Public Lands Hilary Franz and Mark Stanford, Texas A&M Forest Service, recently presented DNR’s South Puget Sound Region firefighters with the Paul Gleason Lead by Example Award. “This team of firefighters are visionaries, mentors and innovators,” said Commissioner Franz. “This award is different from other firefighting or agency awards, because it focuses specifically on leadership in the firefighter ranks.” The intent of this award is to recognize those who embody the spirit of leadership exhibited by Paul Gleason and who exemplify the values of duty, respect and integrity. In the award’s 14- year history, this team is one of only a couple of non-federal recipients. This prestigious national award was given to South Puget Sound staff Don Melton, Brian Looper, Sean Kibbe, Charley Burns, Matt Caldwell and Terry Jewell. In 2010, the South Puget Sound fire operations team began a cultural shift in how they operate and have been working to continually improve the program. This team has been guided by the objectives to beat yesterday, foster collective impact and lead change in Washington’s wildland fire community. They’ve embraced the concept of a mission-driven culture by providing service for the common good, creating a high trust state, encouraging initiative and seeking continuous improvement. This team developed a “leadership in cinema” module on human factors based off the movie “Sully.” This is used in annual fire refreshers throughout the state. They also worked with local fire districts to develop a wildfire safety awareness course for structural firefighters in the wildland setting. See what the South Puget Sound staff created to IGNITE the Spark for Leadership Contest (http://file.dnr.wa.gov/ publications/rp_fire_sps_region_followership_is_leadership.pdf). The Paul Gleason Lead by Example Award (https://www. fireleadership.gov/toolbox/LBE_award/LBE_award_info. html) is sponsored by the National Wildfire Coordinating Group Leadership Subcommittee and recognizes individuals or groups who are leading by example in order to improve the wildland fire service.

Saving costs with cover crops
By Agricultural Research Service Cotton farmers in Alabama who use cover crops have a new, cost-cutting option. They can kill their cover crops and plant their cotton in the same pass through a field, according to Agricultural Research Service (ARS) scientists. Cover crops are gaining in popularity because they suppress weeds and help retain moisture and nutrients. Farmers typically plant cover crops in the fall and kill them in the spring by flattening them with a roller, spraying them with herbicides, or both. After killing the cover crop, growers plant a cash crop in the same field. That usually requires two passes of a tractor: one to kill the cover crop and another a few weeks later to plant the cash crop. Ted Kornecki, an ARS agricultural engineer in Auburn, Alabama, wanted to see if cotton farmers could save on labor and fuel costs by making just one tractor pass. He and his colleagues planted rye as a cover crop, killed it, and then planted cotton using two strategies. In some plots, they killed the rye with a roller and then made a second pass three weeks later to plant cotton. In other plots, they killed the rye and planted the cotton during a single tractor pass. They compared the number of cotton plants produced, their vigor, and yields over three years. They also calculated the fuel and labor costs for each tractor pass. They found that the plots where one tractor pass was made produced higher yields during the three years, producing an average of about 2.5 percent more cotton per acre. Their results also showed that for typical 600-acre cotton farm, the single-pass approach would save more than $2,000 a year in fuel and labor costs. The standard two-pass approach may still make economic sense because of potentially higher yields and revenues, according to Kornecki, with the ARS National Soil Dynamics Laboratory in Auburn. However, the single-pass approach is a viable option that may become even more advantageous in the future, particularly if cotton prices stay low and fuel and labor costs continue to rise.

Scientists discover new method to harness energy
By Scott Weybright, WSU CAHNRS A Washington State University (WSU) professor is part of a team that has unraveled the mechanism of a process that couples chemical reactions in a unique way that conserves energy and prevents loss. The process – which maximizes the efficiency of chemical reactions at the molecular level – could affect everything from synthetic biology to fuel and chemical production. “This lays the groundwork for making energy much more efficiently,” said John Peters, director of WSU’s Institute of Biological Chemistry. “For example, it has the potential, though it’s still very early, to extract more energy from biomass when making biofuels.” When biomass, like wood or sugarcane, is broken down, a variety of it’s pieces are used to make biofuel. This new process has the potential to make more of those products usable, Peters said. Their findings were recently released in the journal Nature Chemical Biology, available at http://www.nature.com/ nchembio/journal/vaop/ncurrent/full/nchembio.2348.html. “We are seeing things nobody’s ever seen before,” Peters said. “This really opens up the field of energy-related biochemistry.” A multi-institutional team called the Biological Electron Transfer and Catalysis (BETCy) Energy Frontier Research Center wrote the paper. In the paper, the authors characterized, for the first time, a process by which a specific enzyme can catalyze two chemical reactions simultaneously, thus allowing scientists to harness energy that would have previously been wasted as heat loss. “These enzymes are actually very savvy,” said co-author Cara Lubner of the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL). “Because they couple the reactions in such a way as to conserve energy, it is a very efficient process with little waste.” Peters said use of the process could eventually allow materials that would normally never be considered as fuels to become viable energy sources. “This work has ground-breaking implications,” Peters said. “This would allow you to use stuff you couldn’t normally use for energy. We could find ways to use both highquality and low-quality feedstocks to get fuel.” The work was done by several researchers involved with the U.S. Department of Energy-funded center around the country. The BETCy Center is headquartered at Montana State University (MSU), and the key authors of the paper are at NREL in Golden, Colorado, MSU, Arizona State University, the University of Georgia and the University of Kentucky. Peters said the discovery wouldn’t have been possible without the collaboration between all of the authors and DOE-funded centers. “One technique didn’t do it,” he said. “It took many different methods to unravel the mechanism to figure this out. And now that we have, this discovery will open up many possibilities in several scientific fields.” Peters also serves as the director at BETCy, in addition to his position at WSU.

Land conservation has always been a part of rancher Judi Knapp’s life. “I grew up being conscious of conservation because I saw my dad put it to practice in his ag operation,” said Knapp. “Conservation seems like a very natural flow for any farmer or rancher. I doubt whether most of us consciously think about it as a separate process ... We not only love the occupation, but we love the land itself.” Knapp produces wheat, hay and cattle with her husband, Roger, on the Knapp Ranch near Melstone, Mont., and has learned many conservation lessons through the farm experience. “During these last 38 years on the farm, we’ve experienced our share of drought, blowing soils and washing soils, and have come to know first-hand the importance of good practices,” she explained. Knapp’s farming responsibilities change daily. In summer, Knapp has gardening and watering chores, keeping up with the bookwork, as well as maintenance chores of painting and staining. At harvest, she prepares meals for the harvest crew and cans and freezes the garden produce. “There is nothing very typical in the day of someone on a farm. Every day is different, and that’s the beauty of it, she said. “As with most farm wives, I’m interrupted at times to run for parts, move equipment, work cows, clean grain bins, and the like.” Knapp said she enjoys fencing with her husband the most. “We get to all corners of the place, some of which I would never see otherwise; so it’s like we’re out exploring,” she explained. “We do this during any nice winter weather so there’s no time pressure and it’s rather relaxing. Of course, I can say that because I am not the one who operates the post pounder.” Over the years, Knapp has seen a change in the role of women in Montana agriculture and families, with fathers being more active in their young children’s lives and mothers taking a more active role in farm management. “We see women being very active in the daily operations, being very aware of the financial records if not actually being the one responsible for the books and being very hands on in the decision-making,” Knapp explained. “I feel that it’s made for a better farm operation and family unit. I think there is no limit to what women can contribute in the field of agriculture, both on and off the farm.” Women have played a big role in Montana agriculture economics, as well, said Knapp. “By promoting ag commodities, they’ve made a large contribution. Some of that has been done by farm women in groups, such as WIFE (Women Involved in Farm Economics), where they promote agriculture,” she said. Knapp promotes agriculture through her work on the local conservation board, county weed board and chamber of commerce. She also shares her farm knowledge through 4-H, Montana Range Days, FFA, church and other community activities.

Bee “Bed and Breakfast” gets helping hand from science
By Agricultural Research Service U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) scientists are digging into the soil around alfalfa fields near Touchet, Washington, to unearth new clues to improve the lives of the crop’s chief insect pollinator: the alkali bee. Alkali bees are champion alfalfa flower pollinators – even outperforming the respected honeybee. So much so, some Touchet farmers maintain open soil parcels called “bee beds” to encourage female alkali bees to dig their nests and raise their young, ensuring generations of pollinators for seasons to come. In turn, that leads to increased yields of alfalfa seed, which is sold to grow premium hay for dairy cows and other livestock. Alkali bees from one acre of nesting bed pollinate 100 or more acres of alfalfa resulting in a harvest of about 100,000 pounds of seed, notes Jim Cane, an entomologist with USDA’s Agricultural Research Service (ARS) in Logan, Utah. Last June, Cane travelled from Logan to Touchet to research the female bee’s nesting needs, especially preferred soil-moisture levels. Towards that end, he teamed with soil hydrology specialists from Pullman, Washington. Together, they measured water vapor flow from the surrounding soils leading into the bee’s underground tunnels and brood chambers. Each chamber houses one larva as well as a pollen ball and nectar for nourishment. Cane hopes to acquire more data about the bee’s soilmoisture needs so that alfalfa growers can better manage bee beds. Larvae, for example, need enough moisture to keep their chambers from drying, but not so much that molds grow and ruin the pollen provisions, adds Cane, who is with ARS’s Pollinating Insect-Biology, Management and Systematics Research in Logan. Another trip to the site is planned for this June to learn more about the performance and role microbes play in the bees’ pollen provisions.

Can my crops take these cold temperatures?
By Sara Berg and David Karki, SDSU Extension Agronomy Field Specialists Cold Weather: Crop Impact It has been unseasonably cold and snowy…now what? There are a few things to keep in mind as Mother Nature temporarily brought back the wrath of winter. Many farmers in Southeastern South Dakota began corn planting within the last two weeks. According to the USDA NASS, 7% of corn and 2% of soybean was planted across the state of South Dakota as of May 1. Small grain planting is wrapping up with 84% of spring wheat and 84% of oats planted. Depending upon planting date and growing degree-days, some corn may have reached germination, causing concern for cold damage. About half of South Dakota spring wheat and oat crops have emerged, raising similar questions. Alfalfa has emerged and in most areas, is well on its way to development. How does frost damage work? A killing or “lethal” frost can have a much different effect on your crop than a “simple” frost. If temperatures reached 32°F or lower in your area for a few hours, you have experienced a simple frost; however, if temperatures dipped to 28°F for a measurable period, you may have experienced a lethal frost. In corn, the growing point remains underground until about the 5-6 leaf stage (V5-V6 stage), so there is some protection from frost due to air temperature. In a simple frost, plants may experience die-off of above ground plant parts. Corn can be quite resilient to this, and recover in early growth stages with minimal to no yield loss. However, a killing or lethal frost can produce much different results. If the air temperature was at or below 28°F for several hours, your germinated corn seedling may have experienced damage or death, even though its growing point is underground. Small grains are much more resilient to such temperatures. Even with loss of above ground tissue due to a lethal frost, plants can survive, but may see injury. However, after jointing, the growing point is above ground and from boot to flowering temperatures below 28°F can be lethal. Overall, plant damage depends upon the planted variety/hybrid, soil temperature, air temperature, length of freeze, crop growth stage, field topography, and soil moisture. How do I tell if I have injury to my crops? Be patient. No one likes to hear “Let’s wait and see” but it is imperative to do so. At this point, your best management strategy is to wait approximately 1 week following concerning temperature events to check plants for injury. With current cold temperatures, corn and small grain development can be significantly slowed from what many perceive as the “norm” this time of year, so patience in checking seedling development is vital. When scouting for injury, be sure to check different parts of fields, low-lying areas and field edges may be more prone to cooler temperatures than other areas. In corn or small grain, if no plant tissue is visible, split seedlings lengthwise, and check the growing point, if it is brown/grey and soft, the plant will likely not survive. Yellow or white/cream growing points indicate a healthy corn or small grain plant, respectively, with recovery potential. If there was tissue development, surviving plants will show new green tissue but there may be some root curling or malformation. Those that are highly effected or dead will show no improvement after the frost. After cold injury, most yield loss is due to stand loss rather than leaf damage. If a stand is deemed significantly impacted after the weeklong wait period, replanting options should be carefully considered. Other Considerations Be sure to consider the effect of damp, cold weather on plant disease risks as well as regular growth and development. At this point, farmers are wrapping up small grains and the focus is moving to row crops. Remember that many soil borne pathogens can substantially affect both corn and soybean emergence due to cold, wet soils, with root and seedling rots being a major factor. These conditions may compound plant health issues if factors such as soil crusting, ponding, compaction, or potential herbicide injury exist as well. What now? As we move toward warmer temperatures, be sure to consider “optimum” planting times. Ideal soil temperatures for corn and soybean germination are above 50°F and 54°F, respectively. For local soil temperature and climate data in your area see SDSU Climate and Weather. Remember, the optimum planting date is actually a curve, not a linear trend, simply meaning that planting ‘too early’ can be just as detrimental as planting ‘too late’. - See more at: http://igrow.org/agronomy/corn/can-mycrops take-these-cold-temperatures/#sthash.vjtNK0i9.dpuf

Winter Wheat Variety Performance Summary in Montana CONTINUED FROM PAGE C38
Yellowstone – hard red winter wheat developed by the Montana Agricultural Experiment Station and released to seed growers in 2005. Yellowstone is a very high yielding winter hardy variety with medium test weight, maturity, height, and grain protein. Yellowstone has excellent baking and good Asian noodle quality. It is moderately resistant to TCK smut and resistant to stripe rust, but susceptible to stem rust. Yellowstone has been the leading winter wheat variety planted in Montana since 2012. PVP, Title V has been issued (Certificate #200600284). Plant Variety Protection The Plant Variety Act, signed into law in 1970, offers legal protection to developers of new varieties of plants which reproduce sexually – that is, through seeds. The law provides for a Plant Variety Protection Office in the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The office receives and processes applications and when “novelty” is established, issues a certificate granting protection rights specified by the applicant. The owner (or developer) holding a “certificate of protection” has complete control over the variety for 20 years. The law provides two types of protection: 1. Without Seed Certification The owner of the protected variety may exclude others from reproducing the variety, selling it, offering it for sale, importing or exporting it, or use it in the commercial production of a hybrid or a different variety without permission. In this sense, the owner of a protected variety may bring civil damage action against anyone who infringes upon his rights. 2. Certified Seed Option
The owner may specify that the seed of his variety “…be sold or advertised only as a class of Certified Seed”. Production and sale of such seed by variety name, when not certified, constitute a violation of the Federal Seed Act. This means of protection may be used extensively for publicly as well as privately developed varieties. Amendments to the Plant Variety Protection Act (PVPA) have passed both houses of Congress and been signed into law by the President. These amendments went into effect in 1995. The farmers exemption has been changed for new varieties. Seed for varieties issued a certificate after April 4, 1995, may only be purchased from the owner or his agent. A farmer can only save seed of these varieties for use on his own farm and cannot sell seed of the protected variety to his neighbor. A variety protected under the certification option does not permit a farmer producing seed to sell or offer for sale or advertise by variety name unless it is certified. Sale of such seed by variety name as uncertified seed will constitute a violation of the Federal Seed Act. Interstate movement of seed is subject to inspection by Federal Seed Control officials. Seed within the state is subject to inspection by State Department of Agriculture inspectors. Owners of protected varieties will give public notice that their variety is protected by affixing to the label or container the words: “Unauthorized Propagation Prohibited” or the words, “Unauthorized Seed Multiplication Prohibited”. Producers must check the label (tag) or the container for the above wording

Prenatal vitamin A boosts ‘good fat’

By Agricultural Research Service A fish called “Coco” is lending a fin and, more importantly, much needed DNA to U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and Auburn University researchers. The result is the first sequencing of a channel catfish genome and the promise of better products for catfish producers. Among the more than 2,500 known catfish species, the channel catfish accounts for more than 60 percent of fish and seafood production. Information gleaned from Coco’s genome sets the stage for new ways of identifying and breeding channel catfish with improved traits, such as growth rate, fillet yield, meat quality and disease resistance. According Geoffrey Waldbieser, a molecular biologist with USDA’s Agricultural Research Service (ARS), the genome makes it easier to locate variations in the DNA sequences and analyze different parts inherited by individual catfish. Scientists can then identify those segments, use breeding to select the beneficial segments in their fish population and improve meat production and production efficiency for farmers Waldbieser, who is with the ARS Warmwater Aquaculture Research Unit (WARU) in Stoneville, Mississippi, led in the catfish genome sequencing effort together with John Liu, an aquaculture professor with Auburn University. They used a special breeding technique called gynogenesis to produce the genome from Coco, a donor catfish which had two copies of identical DNA. With the help of ARS scientists at different locations, Waldbieser produced about 800 million DNA sequences from Coco’s DNA. A paper recently published in the journal Nature Communications describes the achievement in detail. The genome was recently used to identify variation in DNA sequences between individual catfish within the Delta Select line, which is being developed at WARU for use by catfish producers. For more information contact Sandra Avant (https:// www.ars.usda.gov/oc/about/), ARS Office of Communications.

Teff hay could serve as droughttolerant forage for dairy cows
By Pat Melgares, K-State Research and Extension Researchers at Kansas State University may just have found a safety net for dairy producers during times of limited water availability or drought. Graduate research assistant Benjamin Saylor is reporting findings of a study showing that teff hay has the potential to replace alfalfa and corn silage in the diets of lactating dairy cows. Teff is a warm-season grass native to Ethiopia, where the grain is also used for human consumption. Due to its physiology, it is well-suited to drought conditions. The university’s feeding trials with high-producing dairy cows included a control diet and two alternative formulations of the teff diet. “In terms of intake, milk yield and milk fat percentage, there was no significant difference seen among the three diets,” Saylor said. “The only significant difference we saw was the two teff diets resulted in milk that had significantly higher protein concentrations.” It’s a surprise finding in that teff grass is relatively high in fiber and somewhat lower in protein. “You wouldn’t look at the nutrients and say this is an exceptional forage, compared to something like alfalfa,” Saylor said. But in the feeding trials, “it performed well,” he added. The three diets were formulated for similar dry matter, crude protein and starch concentration. The researchers monitored the cows for dry matter intake, milk and component production, body weight, body condition score and other indicators of performance. “When you go into something like that, it’s easy to say, ‘well no one is going to adopt this because everyone has been feeding ‘XYZ’ forever,’” said Barry Bradford, professor of animal sciences and industry, who supervised the project. “For me an important initial spark for this was five to six years ago. A really well-respected dairy nutrition consultant who was working with some big herds in western Kansas, called me one day and said that we need to do something different with those herds long-term. He asked, ‘Are you guys doing anything on more water-efficient forages we can potentially use down the road?’” Bradford said that helped to lead him and Saylor to this project, which is part of a larger collaboration with researchers in agronomy, agricultural economics and geography. Doohong Min, an assistant professor of agronomy at KState, was the lead investigator on a $70,000 grant from the National Science Foundation to study the viability of teff as a dairy forage, Bradford said. Min coordinated a greenhouse study that helped to set the foundation for the feeding trials. In the greenhouse study, the researchers grew 240 teff grass samples to determine the effects of seed variety and the best time to harvest teff for yield, quality and digestibility. They found that seed variety did not make a difference, and that in greenhouse conditions, cutting teff at 45 to 50 days after planting was the best time to optimize yield and quality. The researchers are now working to incorporate an economic analysis, which could shed light on whether it would be profitable for producers to convert land to teff grass to help offset future water shortages. “I think one of the main limiting factors is that teff has not been grown in field situations across the United States,” Saylor said. “Prior to the greenhouse study, there’s just not enough data for a farmer to say, ‘okay, if I plant this, this is the minimum yield I’m going to get.’ It’s just uncertain. Some additional field trials need to be done across the United States, looking at rain-fed and irrigated fields. We need more data.” But, he added: “We see in the future that this might be a significant issue. There are industry people that are expressing interest, and the idea is to get some preliminary work done prior to a (severe drought) event. If that time comes, we can provide industry with some options without scrambling.” Saylor’s work on this project is helping him to complete a master’s degree at Kansas State. He plans to continue his studies in dairy cattle nutrition while pursing a doctoral degree at the University of Florida next fall. K‑State Research and Extension is a short name for the Kansas State University Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, a program designed to generate and distribute useful knowledge for the well‑being of Kansans. Supported by county, state, federal and private funds, the program has county Extension offices, experiment fields, area Extension offices and regional research centers statewide. Its headquarters is on the K‑State campus in Manhattan.
