lem negatively impacts soil health, ground and surface water, wildlife, livestock and agricultural production. Saline seeps in the cropland of northern and eastern Montana expanded rapidly in the late 1960s due to expansion of large-scale cropfallow farming. When fields are fallowed, or crops are not actively growing, precipitation that exceeds what the soil can store leaches through the soil profile. The unused precipitation recharges the shallow ground water table perched above the bedrock, comprised of highly saline marine sediments. A saline seep occurs where highly saline groundwater comes near the ground surface to evaporate in a discharge area.

Roosevelt County Range Tour
By Jeffrey M. Chilson, MSU Extension-Roosevelt County Ag Agent The 2019 Roosevelt County Range tour will begin at 8:00 am on June 13, 2019. Attendees will meet at 8 am in the parking lot of CHS Farmers’ Elevator at 219 E. Blaine, Wolf Point for registration. From here, the attendees will travel to the first stop on the tour, the Lindsay Ranch. This will be a self-driving tour, though there will be a few seats available to carpool attendees to the different tour stops. Please let us know if you need a ride so we can arrange transportation. Registration is free. Muleskinner BBQ will be catering the lunch, sponsored by Nutrien Ag Solutions. The tour will finish at 5:00 pm. The planning committee currently consists of local producers, MSU Extension-Roosevelt County, the USDA-NRCS office in Culbertson, the Roosevelt County Conservation District and the Roosevelt County Weed District Coordinator. This is the second year that the planning committee has offered a range tour. Our plan is to make this an annual event with the location alternating between the eastern portion of the county and the western portion of the county. This year’s speakers include Tracy Mosley from MSU Extension-Park County. Tracy is a veteran extension agent with a strong background in range management. She has assisted in multiple research projects dealing with weed management and utilizing grazing as a weed management tool. She will be speaking on this topic. In addition to Tracy, the MSU Extension Range Management Specialist, Dr. Jeff Mosley will be presenting “How much grass will I have this summer?” This presentation will cover how producers can utilize precipitation records and spring forage growth to predict summer forage yield, and how this may be utilized as a decision making tool, especially during drought years. Dr. Drave Branson, a Research Entomologist from the USDAARS will be discussing “Grasshoppers and Drought”. His discussion will cover how drought and food availability influence grasshopper population and behavior. This will also CONTINUED ON PAGE A4

earned a number of awards for its range stewardship and wildlife-friendly management practices, including the National Environmental Stewardship Award. It was the first ranch in the United States to receive the Wildlife Habitat Council’s Wildlife at Work certification for outstanding natural resource management initiatives. The next stop will visit the Helle Ranch where participants will see how the family has used fire and sheep grazing to manage for greater biodiversity, increased productivity, and improved wildlife habitat on the sagebrush steppe biome. The Helle family has been raising sheep in southwest Montana for about a century and rangeland management has always been an important part of their operation. Joe Helle has a master’s degree in Range Science. His grandson, Weston Helle, is completing his bachelor’s degree in the Rangeland Ecology and Management. After visiting the Helle Ranch, participants will be treated to a lamb barbecue hosted by the Montana Wool Growers Association. Tuesday’s tour will conclude at the Maloney Ranch near the Ruby Reservoir. At this stop, representatives from Turner Enterprises, Inc., The Nature Conservancy, Montana State University Extension Forestry, Montana Department of Fish, Wildlife and Parks, the Bureau of Land Management, and the Montana Department of Natural Resources and Conservation will explain how they are working together to restore fish and wildlife habitat on rangelands. The team of ranchers, government agencies, educators, and organizations are exploring ways to improve water quality and quantity by removing water-hungry conifers that are encroaching on rangelands. RDO Equipment Co. will provide a live demonstration with its forestry masticator, showing how it can reduce a mature juniper or Douglas fir to mulch in seconds. Participants are invited to attend a beef banquet and dance after the tours on Tuesday. The cost of admission for the dinner and dance is $20.00 per person. Music will be provided by the Ruby Valley Boys and Barb Wire. On Wednesday, June 19th, tour participants will spend the morning touring educational facilities and learning about livestock handling around Dillon, Montana. The tour begins at 8:00 a.m. and ends at 12:30 p.m. The first tour will visit the La Cense Ranch where participants will hear how ranch managers use intensive grazing practices and low stress livestock handling to improve ranch production while reducing impacts to the land and animals. After visiting the La Cense Ranch, participants will have the opportunity to tour the University of Montana Western’s Equestrian Center.

Montana Farm Bureau to debut centennial video
From Montana Farm Bureau Federation The Montana Farm Bureau will debut its centennial video, “100 Years of Community, Unity and Education” June 12 during the MFBF Summer Conference at the GranTree Inn in Bozeman. The video, featuring MFBF President Hans McPherson, covers the history of Farm Bureau, the importance of unity and the bright future of agriculture. “It was an honor to be in the video and talk about how Farm Bureau was formed, our grassroots structure, the fact that farmers and ranchers continue to produce the safest, most affordable food in the world,” said McPherson, a diversified farmer from Stevensville. “As we celebrate our centennial with this video, we not only look forward to future generations of leaders and the current generation of leaders, but we are looking backward with great gratitude for all that our previous generations of leaders have done for this organization. I’m confident that Montana Farm Bureau will remain the greatest voice of agriculture that we have ever known with the new tools that our young leaders have at their disposal.” Riley Slivka, creative director, AgriStudios, said, ‘It was great to be able to go out to the Bitterroot Valley, an area that I had never been before, and talk to President McPherson about the Farm Bureau organization and the future of agriculture.” Slivka has two A.S. degrees from Northwest College in Powell, Wyoming, and is currently studying Ag Education and Communication at MSU-Bozeman. The young filmmaker hails from Winifred where he was raised on a farm. He started his company, AgriStudios, in 2017 and sees it as a way to help his clients, most of them involved in agriculture, tell their story by taking a creative approach while filming and editing videos. “I’ve been able to learn a lot about Montana Farm Bureau through putting together their centennial video and discovering how the organization relates to community, unity and education,” said Slivka. “100 Years of Community, Unity and Education” will be shown Wednesday morning, June 12, along with the American Farm Bureau’s Centennial Video, “The Voice of Agriculture – 1919 -2019.” For more information on the 2019 MFBF Summer Conference, visit www.mfbf.org or call 406-587-3153.

Fish, Wildlife and Parks is again asking the person responsible for putting plastic Zip Ties into the jaws of Missouri River walleye to stop. The illegal practice first came to light a year ago when FWP game wardens found two walleyes with Zip Ties in their jaws. This year, during the first week of May, FWP fisheries biologists discovered two more walleyes with Zip Ties in their jaws, including one that had caused an open sore in the fish’s jaw. The walleye were found in the Wolf Creek Bridge to Craig section of the Missouri. “We don’t put jaw tags in fish anymore because it causes damage,” said Jason Mullen, FWP Region 4 fisheries biologist. “Whoever is doing it should stop,” he said. “It confuses the public, making people think FWP is putting the plastic jaw tags out. We are not. But some anglers might catch and keep a fish they normally wouldn’t, because they think we want the information or there is a reward or something.”

Noxious weed trust fund grant recipients
From Montana Department of Agriculture The Montana Department of Agriculture and Noxious Weed Management Advisory Council has awarded over $1.79 million for the development and implementation of noxious weed management programs across Montana. The grants, which were awarded in March, assist counties, conservation districts, local communities, tribes, researchers and educators in efforts to combat noxious weeds in Montana. 58 local cooperative projects were funded at a total of $1,247,871 or 70% of all dollars awarded. Twelve research projects were funded at $309,380 and 11 educational projects were awarded $234,591. Combined research and educational projects were awarded a total of $543,971 or 30% of all funding available. In addition to the $1.79 million grant hearing awards, each of the 56 counties and 7 reservations in the state are eligible to receive $7,500 per year. The Montana Noxious Weed Trust Fund grant program was established by the Montana Legislature in 1985. The advisory council reviews applications, hears applicant testimony, and provides funding recommendations to the director for final approval. Funding is typically passed through a governmental organization, local weed district, conservation district, extension office, or university. A compiled list of award recipients is available at http://agr.mt.gov/NoxiousWeed-Trust-Fund-Grants. Applications for 2020 Noxious Weed Trust Fund grants can be found at https://fundingmt.org in mid-July, for completion and submission by January 6, 2020. The Montana Department of Agriculture’s mission is to protect producers and consumers, and to enhance and develop agriculture and allied industries.

Date When Celebrated: Always the third Friday in June Summer is here. The weather is sunny and warm. The kids are out of school. The summer vacation season has arrived. It’s time for a road trip!! The road awaits you. Today is the perfect day to declare yourself a day off and just get away. This special event is on a Friday, so you can call in to work to use a vacation day and make a long weekend of it. While you can plan this day in advance, today will be the most fun by making it an unplanned trip. Be adventuresome. Go with the flow. Some of the best vacation memories come from a spur of the moment trip, with no prior planning or thought. Here’s how to best enjoy Take a Road Trip Day: Your road trip is about the journey and not the destination. Sure, you can point to a destination, But, don’t get hung up about reaching it. Take a spinner from a kid’s game board, and spin it. Point your car in the direction the spinner indicates, and just drive. Make sure to stop along the way at points of interest, arts and craft shops, wineries and breweries, or any other place that attracts your attention. Keep off the superhighways and you will find much more fun things to do. You can take a simple day trip, or you can pack an overnight bag and extend the road trip into the weekend ..my favorite choice. If you opt for the overnighter, remember this is an unplanned trip, so pack your bag at the last minute. For those of you who can’t hit the open road without a planned route and destination, it’s okay. Just keep in the spirit of an unplanned event as best you can. Origin of Take a Road Trip Day This special day was created in 2019 by Bob Matthews of Rochester, NY and owner of Holiday Insights. Matthews conceived the idea of this day while researching Read a Road Map Day. He realized that something was blatantly remiss. He felt after reading a road map, it was only natural to actually take a road trip. Dumb Laws - Mississippi: No limits on Big Gulp size Mississippi believes in a person’s inalienable right to consume Big Gulps. Following former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s contentious attempt to restrict the size of soft drinks sold throughout the city, Mississippi Governor Phil Bryant signed a law preventing his state’s lawmakers from enacting rules that limit portion sizes. Thanks in part to the “Anti-Bloomberg Bill,” one in three Mississippians remains obese.

From USDA USDA’s Farm Service Agency (FSA) will accept applications beginning June 3, 2019, for certain practices under the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) continuous signup and will offer extensions for expiring CRP contracts. The 2018 Farm Bill reauthorized CRP, one of the country’s largest conservation programs. “USDA offers a variety of conservation programs to farmers and ranchers, and the Conservation Reserve Program is an important tool for private lands management,” said FSA Administrator Richard Fordyce. “CRP allows agricultural producers to set aside land to reduce soil erosion, improve water quality, provide habitat for wildlife and boost soil health.” FSA stopped accepting applications last fall for the CRP continuous signup when 2014 Farm Bill authority expired. Since passage of the 2018 Farm Bill last December, Fordyce said FSA has carefully analyzed the language and determined that a limited signup prioritizing water-quality practices furthers conservation goals and makes sense for producers as FSA works to fully implement the program. Continuous CRP Signup This year’s signup will include such practices as grassed waterways, filter strips, riparian buffers, wetland restoration and others. View a full list of practices approved for this program at https://www.fsa.usda.gov/programs-and-services/ conservation-programs/conservation-reserve-program/crpcontinuous-enrollment/index. Continuous signup enrollment contracts are 10 to 15 years in duration. Soil rental rates will be set at 90 percent of the existing rates. Incentive payments will not be offered for these contracts. Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program Signup FSA will also reopen signup for existing Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program (CREP) agreements. Fact sheets on current CREP agreements are available on the webpage. Other CRP Signup Options Fordyce said FSA plans to open a CRP general signup in December 2019 and a CRP Grasslands signup later. CRP Contract Extensions A one-year extension will be offered to existing CRP participants who have expiring CRP contracts of 14 years or less. Producers eligible for an extension will receive a letter describing their options. Alternatively, producers with expiring contracts may have the option to enroll in the Transition Incentives Program, which provides two additional annual rental payments on the condition the land is sold or rented to a beginning farmer or rancher or a member of a socially disadvantaged group. More Information On December 20, 2018, President Trump signed into law the 2018 Farm Bill, which provides support, certainty and stability to our nation’s farmers, ranchers and land stewards by enhancing farm support programs, improving crop insurance, maintaining disaster programs and promoting and supporting voluntary conservation. FSA is committed to implementing these changes as quickly and effectively as possible, and today’s updates are part of meeting that goal. Producers interested in applying for CRP continuous practices, including those under existing CREP agreements, or who need an extension, should contact their USDA service center beginning June 3. To locate your local FSA office, visit www. farmers.gov. More information on CRP can be found at www. fsa.usda.gov/crp.
Publication notes safe practices to load, unload ATVs
By University of Wyoming Extension University of Wyoming Extension’s publication, Tips for loading and unloading an ATV, is now available at http:// bit.ly/ATV-tips. “This publication is the first attempt to provide relevant information to encourage good ATV riding practices,” said Jeremiah Vardiman, UW Extension agriculture and horticulture educator. ATVs are often loaded into the back of trucks or on trailers. This provides a safe step-by-step process for loading and unloading. The bulletin is available in pdf and ePub formats.
The Cloud People of Peru
Five centuries ago, deep in the mountainous jungles of what is now Peru, the Spanish conqueror Pedro Cieza de Leon encountered a tribe of people who were different from the ruling Incas. “They are the whitest and most handsome of all the people that I have seen,” he wrote, “and their wives were so beautiful that because of their gentleness, many of them deserved to be the Incas’ wives and to also be taken to the Sun Temple.” In addition to being lighterskinned than the Incas, these people were said to be much taller–and they had blond hair and blue eyes. What they called themselves has been lost in history; the Incas called them Chachapoyas, which anthropologists think meant “People of the Clouds.” They lived in the dense forests that rise above the Maranon and Huallaga Rivers, a remote region of the Andes Mountains on the northern edge of the Amazon Rain Forest–so high above sea level that they’re literally in the clouds. Did they really have white skin? There are two fascinating theories as to how this may have occurred. Adaptive Indians. Before retreating to the highlands, the Chachapoyas had dark complexions. But over the centuries, the isolated population evolved lighter skin and taller stature due to the darker conditions and cooler climate. Jungle Vikings. Unlike just about every other darkskinned native culture in the Americas–who crossed the Bering Strait from Asia thousands of years before– these people may have come from Europe. This gives credence to an Inca legend that says the Cloud People arrived on ships from the east. To the east is the Atlantic Ocean. So perhaps, during Europe’s Dark Ages, Nordic tribes traversed the Atlantic and landed somewhere near the mouth of the Amazon River. Then, finding the temperature too hot and muggy, they migrated hundreds of miles into the mountains before settling in the cooler cloud forests. So far, there’s no conclusive DNA evidence to support either theory. If you want to see a remnant of the Cloud People, take a look at the beginning of Raiders of the Lost Ark: The idol that Indiana Jones attempts to “collect” is Chachapoyan.

Aerial yellowjacket
If you have had issues with Western yellowjackets in the past and want to keep them away this year, it is time to put the traps out. In the Bozeman area, queens are active and coming to traps. Queens are likely active and searching for nesting sites statewide. With the exception of the Western yellowjacket, the social wasps are typically not aggressive unless their nest is disturbed (sometimes the bald-faced hornet can be aggressive). The bald-faced hornet, aerial yellowjacket, and paper wasps feed on live insects. Thus, most are beneficial and feed on a lot of our garden pests. The Western yellowjacket is a scavenger, which feeds on garbage, anything eaten outside, and dead insects. It is the biggest nuisance pest around our backyards and porches in late summer. Although other wasps and bees can sting, most of our stings come from the Western yellowjacket. Management: Controlling some of the larger nests can be difficult later in the summer. The best time to control social wasps is early in the spring when the nest size is just a few cells. By the end of the summer, there can be hundreds to thousands of wasps in the colony. The nest can be the size of a basketball or larger. If it is a bald-faced hornet or aerial yellowjacket nest, you can just wait until it gets cold to remove the nests. In the early spring, if you spot the nests, you can jet them down with water or wasp/ hornet spray on a cold morning or evening when the nest is not very active. The colonies will be abandoned in late summer, and only the fertilized females will survive. The females will find another place to overwinter and will start a colony elsewhere the following spring. After a couple of serious frosts and cold weather, the wasps will be dead and you can knock down the paper nests. Try to locate the nest. This is often difficult with Western yellowjackets as their nests are often subterranean or sometimes in wall voids. Wasps will often fly up to 1000 yards, so sometimes the nest can be quite a distance away. The Western yellowjacket does respond to traps. They make a lure (containing the chemical heptyl butyrate) for Western yellowjackets (available at hardware and garden

stores). It doesn’t trap any of the other wasps or hornets (except for the common yellowjacket and the German yellowjacket). It also doesn’t trap honey bees or bumble bees. These traps are most effective when placed out in the spring before the Western yellowjacket colonies become large. Remove and limit exposure to all food sources, including garbage cans, pet foods, droppings from the grill, and any food or sugary-type sources in the backyard. Active nests can be controlled with a series of wasp sprays made from pyrethroids (found in hardware stores), if necessary. Such active ingredients include permethrin, deltamethrin, tralomethrin, bifenthrin, tetramethrin, and allethrin. If using any of these products, apply them late in the evening, early morning, or on cool, rainy days when the nest is not very active. If controlling a Western yellowjacket nest, this might require several applications. Never plug what you think might be a Western yellowjacket hole on the outside of the house; this might force them to move further into the house and not have a way to exit.

ND 4-H members learn and share at National 4-H Conference
By NDSU Extension Service Four North Dakota 4-H members recently attended National 4-H Conference in Washington, D.C., and they say their experiences will last a lifetime. The delegates were Maria Brien of Rolla, Katherine Kempel of Casselton, Victoria Christensen of Courtenay and Kaitlyn Joerger of Mayville. North Dakota 4-H Foundation board president Andy Staloch and his wife Shauna from Williston chaperoned the team. The conference focused on learning for the 4-H delegates from across the country, but also practicing what they learned through hands-on educational activities and applying the knowledge through real-world experiences in which they developed leadership skills. “My roundtable group learned about the opioid epidemic and how it affects youth all across America,” Brien said. “The information I learned about opioids will be good to share with my community. We went to the Health and Human Services department and did a presentation on how the opioid epidemic affects and looks in our communities. Following the presentation, we answered questions and visited with the agency staff.” Christenson’s roundtable group learned about civility and civic engagement then focused on trauma-informed care in their presentation to Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration staff. Joerger’s group shared with Health Resources and Services Administration staff how youth can move from being a bystander to an upstander in bullying situations and how the resources available for youth on bullying can be improved. Kempel’s group told the Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition and Forestry how 4-H and agriculture have shaped their lives. Kempel said, “Participating in the roundtable taught me the value of collaboration to work toward a common goal. For example, when we began to work on our presentation, we couldn’t agree on the most effective way to present our information. By taking the time to listen to reasoning of various points of view, my group was able to create a cohesive presentation. Without this skill, we wouldn’t have been able to get past the brainstorming step of our presentation. Collaboration and discussion are just two of the skills that I have brought back from the conference.” Joerger said, “Through the roundtable, I was able to learn how to communicate effectively and become a better leader, even within a room full of leaders. I also learned how to think quickly and respond professionally to questions.” “During our visit to Capitol Hill, we met with Rep. Kelly Armstrong, Sen. John Hoeven and a staffer from Sen. Kevin Cramer’s office,” Kempel said. “These informative meetings showed me that the issues we see every day are important to people as far away as Capitol Hill. For example, when we brought up the problem of vaping and underage drinking, Rep. Armstrong elaborated on our point and took into consideration our stance on the topic. Our views and concerns were taken seriously. Overall, our visit to Capitol Hill proved to me that even as a youth I can make a difference in my government.” The youth also had the opportunity to tour monuments by night and visit museums on the national mall. “The National 4-H Conference was a great experience where I was able to learn about 4-H communities all around the U.S. as well as go to our nation’s capital for the first time,” Brien said. “I made friends from different states, including Puerto Rico, and participated in roundtable discussion groups with these other 4-H’ers, gaining from their different perspectives.” The North Dakota 4-H Foundation sponsored this educational opportunity. Rachelle Vettern, associate professor and leadershipvolunteer development specialist in the NDSU Center for 4-H Youth Development, encourages other 4-H’ers to set the goal to apply to be a delegate to National 4-H Conference.

Low-interest loans for ag producers in Montana
From United States Department of Agriculture Montana agricultural producers who lost property due to recent natural disasters may be eligible for U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) physical loss loans. The Farm Service Agency (FSA) offers these low-interest loans to agricultural producers who incurred losses caused by four separate disaster events. Approval is limited to applicants who suffered severe physical losses only, including the loss of buildings and livestock. Applications are due January 14, 2020. “Montana’s hardworking ag producers feed our neighbors, the nation and the world,” said State Executive Director Michael Foster. “When they suffer losses because of extreme weather, helping them get back on their feet is important. We encourage those affected to reach out to their local USDA Service Center to apply for these emergency loans.” Blizzards, Excessive Snow, Wind, Freeze, Winter Storms and Extreme Cold – January 1 – March 21, 2019 Physical loss loans are available to eligible agricultural producers in Beaverhead, Big Horn, Custer, Deer Lodge, Granite, Missoula, Powell and Prairie counties, who incurred losses due to blizzards, excessive snow, excessive wind, freeze, winter storms, high winds and extreme cold that occurred between January 1 and March 21, 2019. Producers in the contiguous Montana counties of Carbon, Carter, Dawson, Fallon, Flathead, Garfield, Jefferson, Lake, Lewis and Clark, McCone, Madison, Mineral, Powder River, Ravalli, Rosebud, Sanders, Silver Bow, Treasure, Wibaux and Yellowstone, along with Clark, Clearwater, Fremont, Idaho, and Lemhi counties in Idaho and Big Horn and Sheridan counties in Wyoming, are also eligible to apply for emergency loans. Excessive Cold, Freeze and High Winds–February 3 – March 6, 2019 Physical loss loans are available to eligible agricultural producers in McCone County, who incurred losses due to excessive cold, freeze and high winds that occurred between February 3 and March 6, 2019.

Blizzard, Extreme Cold and Winter Storms–February 5 – March 6, 2019 Physical loss loans are available to eligible agricultural producers in Wibaux County, who incurred losses due to a blizzard, extreme cold and winter storms that occurred between February 5 and March 6, 2019. Producers in the contiguous Montana counties of Dawson, Fallon, Prairie and Richland, along with Golden Valley and McKenzie counties in North Dakota, are also eligible to apply for emergency loans. Flooding–March 22 – April 1, 2019 Physical loss loans are available to eligible agricultural producers in Big Horn and Custer counties, who incurred losses due to flooding that occurred between March 22 and April 1, 2019. Producers in the contiguous Montana counties of Carbon, Carter, Fallon, Garfield, Powder River, Prairie, Rosebud, Treasure and Yellowstone, along with Big Horn and Sheridan counties in Wyoming, are also eligible to apply for emergency loans. Physical loss loans can help producers repair or replace damaged or destroyed physical property essential to the success of the agricultural operation, including livestock losses. Examples of property commonly affected include essential farm buildings, fixtures to real estate, equipment, livestock, perennial crops, fruit and nut bearing trees, and harvested or stored crops and hay.

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. 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.

By Ben Conner, USW Vice President of Policy In June 2017, U.S. Wheat Associates (USW) suggested that pursuing a strategy of import protection under the guise of national security would set a dangerous precedent. Then USW President Alan Tracy said “… if the United States undermines WTO national security exemptions, it would be handing a gift-wrapped roadmap of protectionism to food self-sufficiency advocates all over the world.” The United States did impose these tariffs and threatens more. The risk of imitation by other countries is a long-term threat to U.S. agriculture, but most affected countries to date have responded by retaliating against U.S. agriculture exports, rather than imitating the U.S. policy. In addition, these countries have brought several cases against the United States at the World Trade Organization (WTO). The United States claims these tariffs are allowed under the WTO’s national security exception, which is self-determined. Other countries claim such measures are allowed only if they fit under one of the criteria established in the WTO rules. The WTO earlier in April gave a preview of how it might rule on the cases against the United States with its panel decision in a case that Ukraine brought against Russia. The report was adopted last week by the WTO Dispute Settlement Body (DSB). Ukraine argued that Russia’s restrictions on its transshipment rights violated WTO rules, which would be clearly true in normal circumstances. Russia claimed these restrictions were imposed for national security reasons due to the armed conflict with Ukraine. Russia further argued that the panel had no jurisdiction, because Russia had invoked the WTO’s GATT Article XXI, the rule that allows exceptions to normal WTO rules for national security reasons. Russia argued that determining national security is up to each country and therefore not subject to the panel judgment. The United States made the same argument in a third-party brief. Russia won the case, because armed conflict is a valid national security issue, but lost the argument that the panel had no jurisdiction. At the risk of oversimplifying, the panel found that if the national security rule was meant to be self-judging, the authors of the agreement would not have included specific criteria. It quoted a U.S. delegate who said in 1947 that they supported the specific criteria due to the recognition “that there was a great danger of having too wide an exception…because that would permit anything under the sun.” Permitting tariffs on “anything under the sun” could lead to devastating consequences for the competitive U.S. agriculture sector as more protectionist nations around the world follow the U.S. example. However, the United States, consistent with the position it has taken to date in this case, opposed this decision and claimed there should be no parameters on any trade restriction if the country imposing the restriction cites the national security exception. USW takes no position on the respective arguments in the case but remains extremely concerned with the indiscriminate use of 232 tariffs that will likely put this question in front of the WTO DSB soon. This is a major challenge facing the WTO that did not need to happen and threatens to undermine the global trade rules that are so important to U.S. agriculture and its overseas customers. The Trump Administration’s trade agenda includes fixing an extensive list of long-standing concerns with how some of our trading partners and international institutions have applied trade rules. USW shares many of these concerns. Unfortunately, we believe that the use of Section 232 undermines the long-term interests of the U.S. economy and U.S. agriculture in particular; and any gains made because of these tariffs are likely to be short term while the damage to the rules-based trading system could be permanent.

Extreme breed sizes
The horse breeds that have unusually small sizes often trace to the Falabella breeding program of Argentina. The Falabella does not exceed 30 inches in height. The Shire breed of England is known to produce some of the world’s tallest horses. Shire horses are 16-18 hands high – 64-72 inches – or even more. ##### Wheat is the 3rd largest crop produced in the United States following corn and beans
Kansas Mesonet launches Cattle Comfort Index

The Kansas The harsh conditions in Kansas this past Mesonet website includes a map that shows winter have prompted one of the state’s conditions across the state and how that leading weather agencies to develop a tool might play into risk for cattle. that will help cattle producers in the future. For more information, interested persons Officials with the Kansas Mesonet, a may visit the Kansas Mesonet website, or Kansas State University-based network of call 785-532-7019. weather monitoring stations across the state, has announced the release of the Cattle Comfort Index, a tool that they say will help cattle producers better monitor the needs of their herds during normal and extreme weather conditions. The tool is available at mesonet.k-state.edu/agriculture/animal. “We’ve already had a lot of negative impacts on the cattle industry because of the cold temperatures this winter,” said Mary Knapp, the assistant state climatologist with Kansas Mesonet. “This tool will also look at extreme high temperatures.” The Cattle Comfort Index compiles such climatological factors as weather, humidity, solar radiation, wind speed and more to help producers determine the level of stress their animals may be experiencing at any given time. “The index is driven by our five-minute data that is available from Kansas Mesonet,” Knapp said. “It will be calculated real-time and updated on a regular basis so that producers can see how that will change during the day.” The climate information is gathered from each of the Mesonet’s 61 reporting stations in Kansas. For each, the system reports the perceived comfort level of cattle in that area, from no stress, to mild, moderate and severe. Knapp said, “the actual animal response to temperature stress will be dependent on a number of factors not accounted for in the index,” including age, hair coat, health, body condition, micro-environment, and acclimatization. “The index shown may start off at a reasonable comfort level in the morning, but as you get into the afternoon when that heat starts developing and the humidity hasn’t abated, that’s when you can get some of the heaviest stress on the livestock,” she said. “A chart will show the level over time, but historical data is limited to the week, ending with the current day.” The tool was developed from research conducted at ##### Dark roasted coffees actually have LESS caffeine than medium roasts.

Apple Strudel Day
Date celebrated: June 17th According to some people, every day should be ‘apfelstrudel’ day, to give it its proper Austrian name. A dish that dates back to 1696, Apple strudel consists of a centre of apple, cinnamon and raisins, wrapped in crispy layers of pastry, that puff up in the oven; served with a dusting of icing sugar and a dollop of thick cream, comfort food at its finest. The German meaning of strudel is vortex or eddy, which aptly describes the way the pastry layers circle the filling. When creating the dish these layers need to be worked until they are thin enough to read through. It is easy to create at home, using layers of buttered filo pastry, wrapped around your own stewed apple. Why not celebrate Apple Strudel Day by donning lederhosen, practising some yodelling, and settling down to a warming plateful with a mug of hot chocolate on the side?

National Iced Tea Day
Date When Celebrated: Always June 10 With the official start of summer just a few days away. The timing is perfect for National Iced Tea Day. Chances are, it is already hot in your area. Today may serve as a good reminder to make and enjoy your first (of many) Iced Tea drink of the season. Have it plain, add a little lemon, or sweeten it with sugar. Iced Tea is certainly a favorite summer cooler of millions of Americans. And best of all, tea is good for your health! It takes no imagination to decide how to enjoy this great day: Grab an Iced Tea and head out to the hammock strung under a shady tree. Medicinal value: Since ancient times, people have believed that tea has a wide range of medicinal uses. Modern research has given credibility to many of these beliefs and identified more In some cases research is not conclusive. Regardless of the final determination as to it’s value over time, drink and enjoy because there is no research to suggest that it can hurt you and it just tastes good. Here are some of the known or suspected medicinal applications: • Avoidance of heart disease • Cancer and tumors • Stomach ailments • Sore throats and colds(often flavored with honey) • Soothing, relaxing The Origin of Iced Tea Day: In 1904, English tea plantation owner Richard Blechynden set up a booth to sell hot tea at the St. Louis World Fair. It was a sizzler of a day, and fair visitors didn’t want anything hot. Rather, they needed something to quench their thirst... something cold. He dumped some of his hot tea into ice and served it cold. It was an immediate hit. This was the first known use of iced tea. ##### One day’s production for a high-producing dairy cow yields 10.5 pounds of cheese.

Rye management advice
By NDSU Extension Service With the late spring and relatively good price for rye seed, growers that planted rye last fall as a cover crop are now considering taking it to harvest and selling it for seed, says Joel Ransom, North Dakota State University (NDSU) Extension cereal crop agronomist. “Rye has relatively good yield potential in North Dakota, where the average yield was about 60 bushels per acre in variety trials conducted across the state,” Ransom adds. “If water during the season is not to be limiting, one might expect yields of 70 bushels per acre or more with our current varieties.” With the recent warmer weather, rye is now coming out of dormancy and winter survival of the crop can be assessed. According to Ransom, the optimum plant population for winter rye is 21 to 23 plants per square foot. Stands as low as 10 to 12 plants per square foot should yield well and should be retained as long as there are no large areas of the field or frequent large gaps where there are little or no plants, as controlling weeds in these areas will be problematic. “Rye requires less nitrogen than spring wheat,” says David Franzen, NDSU Extension soil fertility specialist. “For a 60 bushels per acre crop, 100 pounds of nitrogen minus soil test nitrogen and any previous crop credit should be adequate.” Since commonly grown rye varieties are tall and tend to lodge and there is no premium or discount for protein when grown for seed, growers should not over fertilize their crop. Applying nitrogen in the spring should occur as soon as it is practical to get into the field and for maximum effect on yield, and before the 5 to 6 leaf stage, if possible. If urea is used, consider applying with a urease inhibitor, unless it is likely to rain in the next few days. The risk for foliar diseases likely is low in rye, according to Andrew Friskop, NDSU Extension plant pathologist. Leaf rust can be observed on rye but the pathogen doesn’t overwinter in North Dakota and the spores are usually blown up from the south, so if it develops, it will likely be late in the season. If rye was planted on non-rye ground, your risk from fungal leaf spots also will be low. Therefore, a fungicide targeting foliar diseases likely is not needed. Rye may benefit from a foliar fungicide application at flowering to help manage Fusarium head blight (FHB) and protect yield, especially in a season that is conducive to the development of this disease. However, winter rye often will mature early enough that it will miss the window of high FHB risk. It is also considered more tolerant to FHB than wheat and barley. Not all fungicides labeled for use in wheat are labeled for rye. Proline and Caramba are recommended options for FHB control. Both are quite expensive for a rye crop, so make a decision using multiple factors (i.e.: scab risk, yield potential, end-use, etc.). The timing of a fungicide often is the most difficult part in the application process. With rye’s long window of flowering, it can be difficult to assess the best time. As a guideline, the more yellow anthers (early-anthesis to late anthesis) on the main stems the better. “Also, I would rather apply a fungicide too late rather than too early”, says Friskop. Having a good handle on how to market the crop may be important. The current attractive price may not remain if supply exceeds the demand later this summer.
Father’s Day
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, Wa. on May 18, 1910.

By Becky Kujava, Administrative Assistant, MSU Extension Pondera County The Cross Border Classic, a horse and livestock judging competition open to youth in Montana & Canada, took place on Sunday, May 12. A total of 22 kids aged 7 – 17 travelled from four counties to compete at the inaugural event. The day started with a brief judging tutorial for the beginner youth or anyone who wanted a refresher. A ‘walking taco’ lunch was available, provided by Kim Woodring, Toole County Extension Agent & Adriane Good, Pondera County Extension Agent; who also planned the event. Judging commenced shortly after lunch with participants split into groups led by Pondera County 4-H Ambassadors Brae Eneboe, Lydia Vermulm, Emma Clark and Payton Vermulm. Grace Rooney of Cut Bank also stepped up into a leadership role and led a group. Junior and senior age divisions were asked to judge 6 classes; prospect heifers, ranch horses, market hogs, feeder lambs, bred does & a mystery class! Reasons were given on all but the does and mystery class. Participants only knew the mystery class would be something not typically judged at most shows. What a surprise to find out they were judging laying hens with eggs at side. In the Senior class (14 years old & up) Emma Clark of Conrad took top honors, winning a $50 cash prize. Lydia Vermulm of Conrad took 2nd and $25. The $10 prize and 3rd place went to Landon Omdahl of Shelby. The Junior class (13 years old & under) had the same prizes given with first place going to Alyson Leach of Ledger. Dylan Clark took second place out of the hands of his sister Delaney Clark, who came in third. With the contest falling on Mother’s Day, all moms in attendance were invited to judge as well. Moms did placings only for all 6 classes, with the top scoring mom receiving a Windrift Hill goody bag. Stefanie Leach was the top mom with an impressive score of 287 out of 300! A big thank you to our official judges and reasons takers; Cole Ratzburg, Margie Boumans, Jay Good, Arlene Good, & Jim Woodring! Without help from people like you, as well as our sponsors for the event; Trader’s Dispatch, Cargill, Marias Fair Horse Committee, Marias Fair Livestock Committee, and Suta Farms, this would not have been possible. Keep your eyes open for the 2nd annual Cross Border Classic next April! 085- Cole Ratzburg listens to prospect heifer reasons from Shelby’s Delaney Clark. 099- Top three judges in each category.

7 tips for controlling frustrating apple scab
By Kym Pokorny, Oregon State University Wet weather, which is bound to come in the weeks ahead, builds potential for apple scab, a fungal disease of apples. The apple scab disease fungus overwinters on dead apple leaves and fruit left on the ground, explained Ross Penhallegon, horticulturist for the Oregon State University (OSU) Extension Service. During spring moisture, scab spores are forcibly discharged and ride air currents to infect developing leaves and fruit of apples. All outer parts of unopened fruit buds are highly susceptible to scab. As the fruit matures it is much less susceptible. The first visible symptoms of apple scab in the spring are pale, water-soaked spots the size of a pinhead on the new leaves. These spots enlarge, become darker and smoky colored. Later, the spots turn brownish-black color. Spots may be any shape, but tend to be circular, Penhallegon said. Diseased leaves may be curled, distorted and drop off early. Heavy infections can defoliate and weaken your apple trees. On the fruit, the symptoms of scab include small raised brown or black circular areas (scabs). The skin breaks later in the season and the exposed tissue turns velvety brown or black. As the fruit enlarges, the scab spots become brown and corky. To help control apple scab, Penhallegon recommends: 1. Grow scab-resistant cultivars of apples. Apples with good resistance include Akane, Chehalis, Liberty, Prima and Tydeman Red. 2. Apply nitrogen to leaves that have fallen to the ground in the fall to enhance decomposition of fallen leaves and make them more palatable to earthworms. Hand apply a liquid fish solution or 16-16-16 fertilizer to help with the decomposition. 3. Shred fallen leaves in the fall with a mower to help speed up decomposition. 4. Prune your apple trees to open up branching and allow more air circulation. 5. When watering your apple trees, avoid getting foliage wet. 6. Apply dolomitic lime in the fall, after leaf drop, to increase pH and to help reduce fungal spores in the spring. 7. Spray fungicide – Bonide Captan (Organic Materials Revew Institute certified), wettable sulfur, summer lime sulfur or Spectracide Immunox – when temperatures are above 60 degrees and the leaves or blooms are wet. For more information, consult the Extension publication on Apple Scab (https://catalog.extension.oregonstate.edu/ pnw582).
Horseshoe pitching
The game of horseshoes derives from the game of quoits, but uses horseshoes instead of rings. Players take turns throwing the horseshoes at stakes in the ground. Nowadays, stylized U-shaped horseshoes are used, which are about twice the size of an actual horseshoe. The first world championship game was held in 1910 in Boston, Kansas.

Last month we published a line that said “Home delivery of milk (i.e. the milkman) started in 1942 as a war conservation measure.” A dedicated reader informed us that was inaccurate. He says home delivery actually started with horse and covered buggy and used block ice to keep the milk cold. He also provided us with this old photograph from the 1920’s. Thanks Frank for reading our publication.

Hand wash separately
Having an Energy Star dishwasher is energy efficient, but not when you are running it twice a day. Cut back on the amount of space you take up in your dishwasher by washing large pots and pans the old-fashioned way in the sink. By spending a little extra water to wash these items separately, you’ll save a lot of water in fewer loads washed.

The strange power of antlers
By Bruce Auchly, FWP Region 4 Information Officer
At noon, each May 15, the gates open and people on foot, horseback and in vehicles take off across the Sun River WMA searching for shed elk antlers.
What is it about shed antlers that annually turns grownups into raving lunatics? Apparently, there is a lure, a special power that emanates from shed antlers: those racks of bone that each spring and early summer grow on the heads of male members of the deer family, fall off in the winter, only to regrow and repeat the cycle. How else to explain the crowds of people that show up each year for the noon, May 15 opener at Fish, Wildlife and Parks (FWP) Wildlife Management Areas (WMA). The granddaddy of which is the Sun River WMA west of Augusta against the Rocky Mountain Front. This year, a middle-of-the-work-week opener, about 800 people ran, drove, scampered, rode and generally yahooed their way across the WMA’s hills leading up to the mountainous Front, looking for antlers shed about two months earlier It’s easy to guess those “horn hunters” are mostly young men wanting to possess the headgear that a lusty bull elk used as weapons and status symbols indicating male supremacy. Except the antler-seeking crowd also consists of women, children, grandparents, entire families; Montana residents and nonresidents. All for antlers, mostly from elk, but other species, too, like deer and moose. The annual antler cycle starts in March when most mature bull elk shed both their antlers, which usually weigh about 30 pounds total, occasionally more. Because antlers on an adult male take about five months to grow, the new antlers start sprouting in a week or two. Antlers are the only mammalian appendages capable of complete regeneration. Some amphibians can have portions of their bodies severed and regrow the lost limb or tail. Not so with mammals, except for antlers. Though often referred to as horns, antlers are different from horns, but both are found on native Montana mammals. Antlers grow only on the male members of the deer family, except for caribou in which both sexes grow them. Horns are found on both sexes, such as big horn sheep, bison and mountain goats. Antlers are shed annually and often branch when regrown as the animal ages. Horns are permanent and usually daggerlike. Always the exception, pronghorns shed and regrow a sheath-like covering each year. Antlers stop growing in late summer and by fall consist of solid dead bone. Horns come from layers of converted skin (epidermal) cells. Not all deer or elk grow enormous antlers. It’s all about age, genetics and nutrition. The older the buck or bull, the larger the headgear, to a point. Bull elk usually grow their first set of antlers, called spikes, when they are a year and half old. A 2-year-old may have three to six points on each antler, and a mature bull of 7 and older will often have six points or more. However, from age 3 to 10, the antlers stop growing longer and adding points, tending to become thicker and heavier. If a bull grows older, his antlers decline in size and mass. CONTINUED ON PAGE A35

“When you need the job done, and you need it done right....... Feel free to give us a call during the day or at night!”
Colby Adamek of Bozeman shows off the elk antler he found hiking on the Sun River WMA.
Genetics determine the form of antlers while nutrition dictates their size. Humans have always prized antlers for weapons, tools and ornamentation. Today, antlers are worth money, too. One antler from a mature bull elk can bring $150 or more, depending on the current price per pound. For a well-formed matched set, add another zero. Despite the money, many horn hunters just want to possess an antler or two for the mystique, the reverence or just plain fun. Throw in a sunny, pleasant day with no injuries, and everyone seems happy. Even those who go home empty-handed.

ATTENTION HORSE OWNERS!
Equine Trigger Point Therapy can help! Feeling the stiff sore muscle and finding the knot, I use gentle pressure to release the knot - massaging the tight muscle, tendon, or ligament so that the knot(s) can be released. Your horse will travel more freely and pain free.
Is your horse suddenly sore, stiff, sore-backed, or not tracking; shortstrided, has a choppy gait, tossing their head or touchy? Contact Vickie Jorgenson @ 701-535-0300 or by email: grannycanchaser@ail.com to learn more and book a treatment.

Benefits of modified stocking for cow-calf producers
By K-State Research and Extension News Researchers at the Kansas State University Agricultural Research Center in Hays have found that a grazing system shown to be beneficial for the performance of steers also has great potential for cow-calf producers. For several years, beef producers have capitalized on modified intensive early stocking, a grazing strategy that focuses on double-stocking steers in pastures for the first half of the summer and pulling the heavier steers off the grass later in the grazing season. John Jaeger, a beef cattle scientist in Hays, said much of the research points to the fact that when steers were managed this way, producers reported a 26 percent increase in pounds of beef produced per acre, and their net returns increased by nearly 19 percent. So, Jaeger, range scientist Keith Harmoney and their research team set out to see if modified, intensive early stocking could similarly benefit cow-calf pairs. “We’ve just completed our fourth year of data collection,” said Jaeger, noting that the project focused on weaning calves from the cow at an average of 150 days of age (the traditional time is 200 days), and increasing the early-summer stocking rate of cow-calf pairs to 1.45, compared to the normal 1.00 rate. The results were astounding. “The first and most obvious thing is that we continue to see those early-weaned cows being about a half body-condition score better in October compared to conventionally weaned cows,” Jaeger said. And, he adds, “the really good news from all this is that they are carrying that added body condition through the winter and they still have an advantage at calving. The following May, when they are being turned back out, they are still three-tenths of a body-condition score better than the cows that were conventionally weaned in October. The bottom line, he notes, is that the research is showing an economic advantage for cow-calf producers who are willing to adjust their stocking rates early in the summer, much like what has been shown for many years with steers. Jaeger notes that early-weaned calves in the modified early intensive stocking system “had about a 10 pound, 205-day adjusted weight advantage compared to the season-long stocked calves. And we are getting 1.45 times more calves off the same amount of pasture compared to season-long stocked animals.” The researchers also noted a benefit in pregnancy rates; cows in this system had a 10 percent greater first service conception rate and a 5 percent greater rate of conception compared to conventionally weaned cows. “Perhaps one of the largest benefits of utilizing this system is that there was almost no incidence of bovine respiratory disease in calves weaned in late July and early August, compared to calves weaned at the more traditional time in October,” Jaeger said. He added that the researchers believe that warm, dry days and more consistent temperatures in late July and early August play a significant role in helping avoid the higher rates of bovine respiratory disease normally observed during fall weaning. The results are “something that can be beneficial if a producer is retaining ownership on those calves,” Jaeger said. “Early-weaned calves that get a higher energy diet early in life tend to grade better, so if the cow-calf producer is retaining ownership, they should see those benefits in their grid payouts. “In addition, by weaning late July or early August, if a producer is not retaining ownership, they have the potential of selling those calves before we see the traditional dip in the market when the majority of calves are being weaned.” Many factors are involved, including weather and the availability of forage, but Jaeger said the research points to an economic opportunity for beef producers. He encouraged cow-calf producers to contact their local extension agent to learn more on how to incorporate this into their operation, or the benefits of adjusting their stocking rates for cow-calf pairs. Jaeger is also available to answer questions by calling 785-625-3425 or sending email to jrjaeger@ksu.edu. ##### Simple wasp trap: Fill a container with vinegar, sugar and salt to trap and kill wasps.

Avoid introducing weed seeds through livestock feed
By NDSU Extension Service Cattle, sheep and goat producers need to be on the lookout to make sure Palmer amaranth, leafy spurge and other invasive weed seeds don’t sneak in with feed. The Minnesota Department of Agriculture determined that Palmer amaranth found its way into a soybean field through cattle manure. The cattle had been fed screenings from contaminated sunflower seed. “Weed seeds can be present in some feeds -- for example, grain screenings or dockage,” says Karl Hoppe, North Dakota State University Extension livestock systems specialist based at the Carrington Research Extension Center (CREC). “Sometimes when the whole seed is fed, the hard outside seed coat protects the seed from being digested and the viable seed passes out in the manure,” Hoppe says. “When cattle are grazing, they can place manure patties throughout the pasture. Essentially, intact seeds could escape digestion and the animal can seed all parts of the pasture with the weed seeds that are able to germinate. “That’s why screenings need to be ground with a hammer mill – to break up the seeds and increase digestibility.” The second way weed seeds can avoid digestion is that they germinate where they’re fed but not actually eaten by the animals. When given the right conditions, these seeds can germinate at the feeding site. Hay and other forages also may contain weeds and their seeds. The weeds, if cut when mature, would have viable seeds, he says. When feeding livestock in pens, the manure should be contained and composted, says Mary Keena, Extension livestock environmental management specialist also based at the CREC. When composted correctly and appropriate compost temperatures are attained, the weed seeds lose the ability to germinate. Search for “NDSU composting animal manures” for instructions. Weed seeds can create additional problems for livestock, says Gerald Stokka, Extension veterinarian and livestock stewardship specialist. For example, Palmer amaranthinfested alfalfa has the same toxicity as redroot pigweed. This family of weeds accumulates nitrates and can cause kidney damage. In summary, Hoppe says, “Buy grain clean and screened without dockage. But if you do buy grain screenings, be sure to grind (hammer mill) the screenings to destroy the weed seeds.”

Study explores value of Nebraska’s roadside restoration efforts By University of Nebraska-Lincoln IANR News
The idea of a road trip across Nebraska can be appealing for a number of reasons, including the beautiful grasses and wildflowers found along roadsides throughout the state. Much of that vegetation has come from the revegetation practices of the Nebraska Department of Transportation (NDOT) which has teamed up with researchers from the University of Nebraska–Lincoln (UNL) to evaluate these efforts. In addition to visual aesthetics, the main reason the NDOT seeds roadsides is to establish vegetation cover and to prevent erosion, which is required by the federal government. They seed native mixtures of grasses and wildflowers. While the wildflowers look better, according to Walt Schacht, Sunkist Fiesta Bowl Professor of Agronomy, the challenge is that they don’t establish and persist as long as grasses. “Across the state we located 10-12 sites that had been seeded at least 10 years ago to see what grasses and what wildflowers persisted,” he said. Schacht is part of the range, forage and pastures group in the Department of Agronomy and Horticulture who conducted the study, in collaboration with Jon Soper and Carol Wienhold from the NDOT and post-doctoral research associate E.J. Raynor. What the researchers found is that neighboring land types, such as rangeland or cropland, dictate the success of roadside revegetation in providing diverse and native plant communities. In the cropland-dominated eastern regions of Nebraska, roadsides experienced
20 - 30% less native species that established from nearby seed sources than roadsides in the rangeland-dominated Sandhills and Panhandle. Additionally, a roadside site in central Nebraska, which was surrounded by rangeland, supported almost twice as many species as a nearby cropland-surrounded roadside. Overall, the number of plant species detected at Sandhills’ roadsides as well as Panhandle locations was at least 15 species greater than roadsides in central and eastern Nebraska. This result suggests that the level of management necessary on western Nebraska roadsides is less than that on eastern locations with high exposure to non-native seed sources. A Floristic Quality Assessment of roadsides in the northeast revealed high production of seeded native grasses, such as eastern gamagrass and switchgrass, increased the ability of revegetation efforts for restoring native-plant dominance in a region of the state highly invaded by non-native grasses, such as smooth bromegrass. Sites with low levels of the native grasses were dominated by communities of lower conservation value and high non-seeded, non-native grass composition. “This foundational work on Nebraska roadside plant community ecology establishes that Nebraska roadsides are viewed as a resource where plant communities with a diversity of native grassland species can be established,” Schacht said. “However, the persistence of many seeded, native species is minimal because of the competitiveness of both seeded and invasive species of grass.”

Fresh Veggies Day
Date When Celebrated: Always June 16 Today is Fresh Veggies Day. Take a vow to eat healthy today (and everyday), with fresh veggies for every meal, and for snack, too. Better still, be a vegetarian for a day. Your body will like it. Fresh vegetables are tasty, far better tasting than canned or frozen vegetables. They are also healthy and highly nutritious. This makes it easy to add fresh vegetables to the menu at every meal, and for snacking. This time of year, there are plenty of fresh vegetables at your local grocery store, or in your backyard vegetable garden. So relish Fresh Veggies Day with a bountiful supply of fresh picked veggies. ##### The first reliable tomato variety was cultivated by Alexander Livingston in the mid 1800’s. ##### At the time they were considered poisonous, Tomatoes were prized more as exotic ornamentals, than an edible vegetable.

Using Unmanned Aerial Vehicles in agriculture By Dr. Olga S. Walsh, Associate Professor, Cropping Systems Agronomy, Extension Specialist, University of Idaho, Parma Research & Extension Center
In recent years, the interest in the Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), commonly known as drones, has been exceptionally high among the agricultural professionals. More than ever, crop producers, agricultural advisors, researchers, and ag students are utilizing various drones equipped with different sensors and cameras. Drones offer many potential uses including crop monitoring for pest, disease, and water stress, detecting nutrient deficiencies, and crop insurance claims. For example, a drone offers a straight-forward solution for examining the irrigation systems, detecting any leaks that should be repaired. Other, more sophisticated ways the drones can be useful include using remote sensing data from UAV-mounted cameras to make more informed water and nutrient management decisions. The University of Idaho Cropping Systems team at Parma Research & Extension Center have conducted several experiments to assess how helpful are the drones to farming operations. Improving the use efficiency of irrigation water and fertilizers are the major objectives of these trials. This research allows to develop best management practices for irrigation and fertilization by taking into account weather, soil, and crop characteristics. Excessive irrigation has been linked to negative environmental consequences. When growers over-water as an “insurance” in order to not impose water stress on the plants, they tend to experience several serious problems including 1) the need to apply higher rates of fertilizers (especially soil-mobile nutrients like nitrogen and potassium) due to flushing the nutrients from the root zone with applied water, 2) greater disease (such as root rot and powdery mildew) incidence due to excessive soil moisture and hypoxia (especially in heavier textured soils). The increased nitrate concentrations in groundwater in Idaho continues to be a concern, particularly in rural agricultural areas where shallow groundwater is used as domestic water source since groundwater provides over 95% of Idaho’s drinking water. The limited water supplies and water quality issues underline the necessity of innovations aimed at improving the crop’s water productivity. Recent work in co-funded by the United State Department of Agriculture, the Western Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education program, and the Idaho Wheat Commission has shown that Idaho and Montana wheat growers can optimize spring wheat yields and maintain grain quality with 25% less irrigation water. One of the most common questions asked by wheat producers is how to manage nitrogen fertilizer depending on what variety they chose to grow. Previous work has shown that wheat cultivars may vary in N requirements, N uptake, and N use efficiency. Increasing the knowledge about newly released varieties will help to improve the adaption of these varieties by growers. One of the main reasons why many producers like to plant older varieties is the fact that they are very familiar with them, even though they may be substantially lower yielding, may not have the best grain quality and may not perform as well under various biotic and abiotic stresses associated with disease, water or nutrient limitations or pest or weed pressure. A current project conducted in southern Idaho aims to help the University research and extension personnel to provide Idaho wheat growers with more detailed information on appropriate nitrogen management. Several years ago, the research
team has initiated the development of the UAV- based methodology for in-season prediction of wheat yield potential, using just one variety of spring wheat. The newly established project will help to expand the knowledge by evaluating a wide range of varieties grown under varied nitrogen rates (variety x nitrogen trials) and under a uniform fertility level (utilizing spring cereal nursery trials). Current and future work includes projects in a variety of crops important for Idaho agriculture like sugar beets, potatoes, onions, and hops. The commodity groups such as the Idaho Wheat, Bean, and Hop Commissions have been very supportive of the University of Idaho research involving the novel technologies including sensors and drones. An on-going study co-funded by the Idaho State Department of Agriculture and the Idaho Nursery and Landscape Association, is focusing on developing practical solutions for the nursery industry and fruit growers. The producers are in need of economically and logistically sound methodology to conduct the tree inventory in their nursery operations. The inventory process is time consuming and requires substantial labor force. The drones equipped with simple, inexpensive cameras enable for a quick determination of number of trees by class and height, as well as monitoring the health of the trees throughout the season. The canopy volume and trunk diameter of fruit trees is an important parameter directly related to fruit yield and quality. The novel research conducted at the University of Idaho Parma orchard is aiming to develop a use friendly approach to fruit yield estimation utilizing drones. A recent study in sugar beets funded by the Idaho sugar beet industry and the Snake River Research and Seed Alliance is targeting water and nutrient management challenges. The research team at Parma has established a field trial that investigates the sugar beet response to nitrogen at varied water application rates. The water is applied based on the plant need for moisture and is meant to account for the loss of water from the plant-soil system due to evaporation and transpiration. In conjunction with drones, crop sensors used can accurately measure sugar beet biomass production and top nitrogen content. Spectral indices are correlated with nitrogen rates applied to sugar beets can be used for in-season prediction of sugar beet yield and quality and to make nitrogen management decisions. Sugar beet production profitability is based on maximizing three parameters: beet root yield, sucrose content, and sucrose recovery efficiency. Efficient nitrogen and water management are key for successful sugar beet production. Nitrogen deficits in the soil can reduce root and sugar yield. Overapplication of nitrogen can reduce sucrose content and increase nitrate impurities which lowers sucrose recovery. Application of nitrogen in excess of sugar beet crop need leads to vigorous canopy growth, while compromising root development and sugar production. Appropriate irrigation amount and timing can optimize sugar beet yields while minimizing disease pressure, water costs and nitrogen leaching. Excessive irrigation can increase sugar beet root weight, but lower sugar content. Defining the optimum water and nitrogen fertilizer levels should be done on a regional basis, utilizing locally grown varieties and taking into account local management practices. Remote sensing is a promising tool for in-season nitrogen and CONTINUED ON PAGE A48

Noah Crain, a McKenzie County 4-H member, takes aim at the North Dakota 4-H Archery Indoor Championships.
Teams from several counties took top honors at the 4-H Archery Indoor Championships held recently at Nishu Bowmen Range in Bismarck. This event is the culmination of six indoor matches across North Dakota beginning in Bismarck in January, said Adrian Biewer, North Dakota State University (NDSU) 4-H youth development specialist. Other matches were held in Watford City, Minot, Cando, West Fargo and Edgeley. Youth must attend at least two of these district matches to participate in the championship. The best two district scores and the score at the championship place the archers and teams. Archers from 8 to 18 years old competed in three age divisions and two bow divisions. 4-H archers can compete in barebow and/or freestyle bow divisions. Barebow divisions cannot use a sight. Archers shoot six sets of five arrows at a 10-ring, 80-centimeter (cm) target from 15 yards for a possible total score of 300 points. The contest for barebow is the same for all ages. The Dickey County team of Landon Schmidt, Madeline Thorpe, Walker Miller and Drew Thorpe took first place in beginner barebow. The second place team from Pierce County was Lucas Wentz, Jaxon Heilman and Kenley Heilman. Individual beginner barebow winners were: • First – Drew Thorpe, Dickey County, with a cumulative score of 780 out of a possible 900 points • Second – Lucas Wentz, Pierce County, 773 points • Third – Walker Miller, Dickey County, 749 points • Fourth – Jaxon Heilman, Pierce County, 746 points • Fifth – Zakai Njos, Slope County, 722 points The Steele-Traill Counties team of Eve Thompson, Emma Gullicks, Madison Sand and Mason Knudson were the firstplace junior barebow team. The Dickey County team of Shelby Miller, Mackenzie Thorpe, Paige Henningsen and Madison Anliker placed second. Individual junior barebow winners were: • First – Rylee Suhr, Griggs County, 845 points • Second – Eve Thompson, Steele-Traill Counties, 799 points • Third – Shelby Miller, Dickey County, 788 points • Fourth – Kennedy Gross, McIntosh County, 781 points • Fifth – Emma Gullicks, Steele-Traill Counties, 774 points The LaMoure County senior barebow team of Brennan Weiderrich, Allee Boyer, Wyatt Moch and Rhett Moch captured first place. The team of Shyanna Hovde, Hosanna Patten, Ezra Patten and Clay Ceynar from McKenzie County was second. Individual winners were: • First – Jack Thompson, Steele-Traill Counties, 834 points • Second – Brennan Weiderrich, LaMoure County, 821 points • Third – Allee Boyer, LaMoure County, 816 points • Fourth – Sydney Steiner, Hettinger County, 805 points • Fifth – Devin Fulton, Steele-Traill Counties, 793 points Archers in the freestyle unlimited match can use sights and a release. Beginner and junior archers shoot six sets of five arrows for a possible total score of 150. The target is a National Field Archery Association indoor 20-cm, two-ring, five-spot target or a 40-cm, five-ring, single-spot target, with the archer having a choice. The target distance is 15 yards for beginner and junior divisions. The senior division contest requires 12 ends of five arrows for a possible score of 300 at 20 yards. The Pierce County team of Jaxon Heilman, Lucas Wentz, Kenley Heilman and Levi Wentz placed first in beginner freestyle. The Dickey County team of Walker Miller, Drew Thorpe, Landon Schmidt and Madeline Thorpe finished in CONTINUED ON PAGE A53

What would you do in a disaster involving food?
By Julie Garden-Robinson, Food and Nutrition Specialist, NDSU Extension I always will remember the sound of a freight train roaring through my small Minnesota hometown at about 3 a.m. the morning after the Fourth of July holiday. The holiday had been very hot and humid, and we had stayed up late lighting fireworks. I had my windows open, and my drapes began flying around my bedroom, covering me with an extra layer of fabric. My family hurried downstairs as the sound of the train became louder and louder. By the time we reached our kitchen, the sound of the train had quieted. However, the sound wasn’t from a train. We had survived a devastating tornado, which resulted in many injuries and several deaths. Homes were upended, 100-year-old trees were uprooted, leaving large craters in lawns, and businesses literally were blown away. Debris was scattered for miles. We had no power for several days, but fortunately, many people came to help from all over the region. Recovering from the devastation took months, if not years. Most people have been touched by disasters at some point in their lives, whether from fires, hurricanes, tornadoes and/ or floods. Lately, flooding has been on the minds of many in the Midwest. I have received some calls from neighboring states when floodwaters have flowed over food and equipment in kitchens. Let’s try some scenarios, and I hope you do not have to use these tips. However, being prepared for disasters is always a good idea. 1. Let’s say you are anticipating a flood situation. What are some items you will want to have in place in the event of power outages if you are able to stay in your home? 2. A worst-case scenario has happened, and flooding has reached the main floor of your home, including your cupboards. What flooded food must you discard? 3. Your commercially and home-canned foods have encountered floodwaters. Can they be saved? 4. Floodwaters washed over wooden spoons and pacifiers stored in a basement. Can they be saved? Here are some things to consider: 1. Be sure to have an adequate supply of food (enough to last at least four days), and move any food stored in a basement storage room to the main floor. Have emergency cooking equipment with propane or other fuel available, along with flashlights, batteries, candles, matches and a fire extinguisher. Remember that every person in your household needs about a gallon of water a day. In preparation for a power failure, turn your refrigerator and freezer to colder settings. In the event of power outages, you can use dry ice to maintain the temperature of refrigerated food. However, be sure to handle dry ice carefully because it measures minus 216 F. Wear gloves or use tongs and follow other safety precautions. 2. Most food that has encountered floodwaters must be discarded because the water can carry raw sewage, oil, chemical wastes and other contaminants. Therefore, discard meat, poultry, fish, eggs, fresh produce, foods in cardboard boxes or with cardboard seals (such as many salad dressings or mayonnaise), spices, opened containers, flour, sugar, grains, coffee (in canisters) and food in glass jars. 3. Undamaged commercially canned goods that encounter floodwaters are safe if you properly sanitize the containers. However, home-canned foods should be discarded because floodwaters could seep under the seals. To clean commercially processed cans of food, wash the top of the can and dry. Next, write the contents on the can with an indelible ink marker because you do not want the contents to be a surprise later. Remove the can labels because paper can harbor dangerous bacteria. Next, wash the cans in a strong detergent solution and rinse. Finally, immerse the containers for 15 minutes in a bleach-water solution. References vary on the concentration of the bleach solution to use, but 2 tablespoons of unscented bleach per gallon of water is typical for surfaces that do not come in contact with food. Finally, allow to air-dry. To sanitize surfaces that come in contact with food, 1 tablespoon of unscented bleach per gallon is the typical concentration. 4. Discard items made from porous materials that encountered floodwaters. These items include wooden spoons, plastic pacifiers and plastic baby bottles. See https://www.ag.ndsu.edu/flood/home/after-the-flood for more information. When we are busy fighting floodwaters CONTINUED ON PAGE B3

The school is responsible for providing quality care for all of these horses. One major aspect of caring for equine athletes is hoof care. On average, horses require their feet to be trimmed and shoes to be reset every six to eight weeks because the horse’s hoof is constantly growing. The average horse hoof wall grows at a rate of 0.24-0.4 inches per month. Age, season, moisture, exercise, and nutrition can all affect the rate at which Figure 2: Approximately Figure 3: The majority of a horse’s hoof grows.

National Canoe Day
Date When Celebrated: June 26 National Canoe Day is today. Summer has arrived, and it is a perfect time for a canoe ride. Take a canoe out on your favorite waterway, and enjoy the peace and serenity. And, get a little healthy exercise along the way. Canoes have been around for thousands of years, and have been used by countless cultures. It is believed the first canoes were made and used by the Carib Indians of the Caribbean. They carved out logs, and used the canoes to travel between islands. The word canoe originates from the word “kenu” in their native language. .
Celebrating this day is a real pleasure. Simply go out in a canoe onto a lake or stream. Take a leisurely ride, and enjoy the scenery. Don’t rush... take your time. You’ll return calm and relaxed after a memorable experience. Safety first! Make sure to wear an approved life jacket while out on the water. This writer is here today, because I had a life jacket on when our canoe tipped over in a fast running creek. The Origin of National Canoe Day: All of our research points to 2007 as the year this special day was first celebrated.

Noxious weeds to watch out for this summer

Rush skeletonweed rosette and flowering stem. Photo from the Ericson Diagnostic Laboratory, University of Idaho, Moscow, Idaho. Rush skeletonweed, a member of the sunflower family (Asteraceae), is an herbaceous perennial with a rosette very similar to that of dandelion. Populations are found most often on low-nutrient, coarse-textured soils in open forest types and shrub-steppe plant communities. Rush skeletonweed is a problem in wheat and grain fields and rangelands where it reduces yields and forage production.
Leaves of yellowflag iris (photo courtesy of www.texaswaterlilies.com, 2011). Most flowers bloom between May and July. Flowers are insect pollinated.
Yellowflag iris occurs in temperate climates, typically in plant communities associated with water.

Yellowflag iris (Iris pseudacorus L.) is an introduced wetland plant that is now widespread throughout North America. It can displace desired vegetation, decrease wildlife habitat and livestock forage, and reduce water flow in irrigation systems. It was first reported in Montana in 1966 (Lake County). The plant disperses by seeds and rhizomes which move throughout the riparian areas that this species inhabits. Prevention, early detection and immediate action to contain or eradicate infestations are most important for management of this plant in Montana. Yellowflag iris flower (photo by Nancy Loewenstein, Auburn University.) Yellowflag Iris Uses and Lore: Yellowflag iris has a long history of human use. Most commonly it has been used as an ornamental plant in water gardens and in flower arrangements. It has been planted throughout the world with several cultivars developed. It was also used for erosion control and in sewage treatment cells of water treatment plants. The seeds were roasted and prepared like coffee. The flowers were used to make a yellow dye and the plant used for fiber.

Coccidiosis affecting young calves CONTINUED FROM PAGE B11
develop when other stress factors are present or in the young calves when exposure to the oocysts is overwhelming,” Stokka says. “The life cycle of coccidiosis in calves is approximately 21 days,” he adds. “This means that if a 3-week-old calf is showing signs and symptoms of coccidiosis, the calf was exposed to the oocysts at birth. The logical conclusion to young calf coccidiosis is that calving grounds are highly contaminated.” Treatment Infected animals must be treated for the infection and to correct dehydration. Producers should select the proper drugs in consultation with their veterinarian. Sulfa drugs and a therapeutic dose of amprolium are available to treat coccidiosis. Antibiotics may be necessary if secondary bacterial infections are suspected. Products also are available for treating the entire group of calves, but medicating all calves in beef herds is difficult, Stokka says. Prevention Treatment and prevention are most effective when started early, Stokka and Hoppe say. They suggest these steps to prevent coccidiosis: • Move calving grounds to a clean area free of contamination. • Increase the amount of space per cow during the calving season. • Feed an additive that can reduce the presence of coccidia. “Feeding a coccidiostat (decoquinate) or an ionophore (monensin or lasalocid) to the herd prior to and during calving may help,” Hoppe says. “Be sure to follow label claims because monensin and lasalocid have slightly different label claims. “Feeding an ionophore to the cows for reducing the overall coccidia parasites present in the environment also has the benefit of improving feed efficiency,” he adds.

By University of Nebraska-Lincoln IANR News Two kernels of the same idea — cultivating protein quality in cereal grains — are reaching maturity at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln (UNL). The quality of protein often gets overshadowed amid the spotlight on its quantity. But that quality — the presence or absence of amino acids essential to the diets of humans and livestock — occupies the mind of Nebraska’s David Holding. Holding and his colleagues at the Beadle Center have spent years working to raise levels of a vital amino acid, lysine, that’s scarce in the protein of several cereal grains. By adopting different approaches — one traditional, the other emergent — the team has now managed to roughly double the lysine content of both popcorn and sorghum. Higher lysine could add economic value and broaden the appeal of popcorn, the researchers said, while enhancing the nutritional value of the movie-theater favorite. Boosting lysine in sorghum should make the drought-resistant crop a more complete source of nutrition in the developing world, where it sometimes ranks as a dietary staple, and for livestock in the United States. Popping out the dent Dent corn, a worldwide crop and the signature variety of the Midwest, is deficient in lysine. But in the 1990s, researchers successfully bred a gene variant known as opaque-2 into dent corn. In lowering the production of normally dominant prolamin proteins, opaque-2 allowed for a rise in non-prolamins: those containing lysine and another essential amino acid, tryptophan. The resulting variety — Quality-Protein Maize, or QPM — has since helped combat malnutrition in many developing countries. With the backing of Conagra Foods, Holding decided to try the same in popcorn. “It turns out that that’s really difficult to do,” said Holding, associate professor of agronomy and horticulture. The problem was at once simple and complex: Popcorn containing opaque-2 wouldn’t pop. And that problem stemmed from what’s in its name: Opaque-2 tends to turn popcorn’s normally hard, glassy kernels into softer, chalkier forms resistant to popping. Agronomists had previously managed to breed the undesirable trait out of the QPM dent corn, which was otherwise more susceptible to pests and harvesting damage. But they did so mostly without knowing which genes helped restore the kernels’ glassy consistency. Holding had devoted considerable time to identifying swaths of the corn genome responsible for restoring that glassiness. So, he set out to cross-breed multiple generations of the QPM dent corn with popcorn varieties suspected to contain the restorative genes. The outcome? High-lysine popcorn that pops nearly as well as the original variety. Six lines of popcorn bred to contain higher levels of lysine, an amino acid essential to the human diet. “When this project started, I wasn’t sure we could achieve that, given that people hadn’t been very successful in transferring beneficial traits from dent corn to popcorn in the past,” Holding said. “We’re the first to take the dent QPM variety and successfully convert that into popcorn, achieving high lysine and maintaining popping. “This is a product that lends itself to organic production and can be marketed as a novel popcorn variety, as consumers are paying more attention to their foods’ nutritional value. For popcorn breeding in general, this also shows the potential for mining other traits from dent corn into popcorn to improve the crop’s agronomic performance.” Building on the work of recent doctoral graduate Ying Ren, doctoral student Leandra Marshall is now crossbreeding multiple lines of the high-lysine popcorn to promote stronger, higher-yielding hybrids suitable for the field. Sequencing the genomes of those lines might also allow the team to pinpoint exactly which genes restored the kernels’ structural integrity, she said. Break it down Along with their own lysine deficiency, sorghum proteins have a related issue: Humans and some livestock struggle to digest them, a problem that only gets worse when they’re cooked. To address both issues, Holding’s team turned to the revolutionary biological tool known as CRISPR-Cas9, a DNA-enzyme combination that can be targeted to precisely edit genes. Using CRISPR-Cas9, the researchers effectively targeted a family of about 20 genes known to kick-start the production of prolamin proteins. CONTINUED ON PAGE B15

CONTINUED FROM PAGE B14
Instead of silencing those genes entirely — leading to impractically soft, chalky kernels — the group programmed the tool to partially deactivate the gene family, an application of CRISPR-Cas9 that Holding called the first of its kind. Once again, the researchers saw a rise in the lysine-housing non-prolamin proteins, even as enough prolamins remained to maintain the kernels’ solidity. At the same time, microscopic vessels containing those prolamins morphed into a more porous form, allowing digestive enzymes to penetrate and begin breaking down the proteins. Follow-up experiments showed that nearly twice as much of the resulting flour’s protein
could be digested. With that accomplished, the team is now cross-breeding the new sorghum varieties to improve their use of growth-essential nitrogen and build up other desirable traits. The cross-breeding will also remove the CRISPR gene that the team implanted, eliminating the potential for unforeseen genetic effects and streamlining approval from the U.S. Department of Agriculture. “We’re doing something that’s innovative from a scientific perspective but that also has a direct application that can hit the market relatively quickly,” Holding said. “Both of these projects are driven by the desire to have a marketable product at the end.”
When: Always June 18th 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. How to Celebrate International Picnic Day: It’s easy! If you only have an hour or so, fill up a picnic basket, grab a blanket, and go to a nearby park for lunch. Make sure to take that special someone along. If you’ve got all day, hold a full blown picnic, with food, fun and games.

In addition, the re-use of gypsum byproducts from coal power plants reduces the need to mine gypsum from geologic deposits. It also saves landfill space. Gypsum can’t solve every agricultural problem, but it is a proven resource to add nutrients and improve soil structure. “It’s a great example of recycling a waste product and using it in a beneficial way,” Dick says.

Pinto bean responds to phosphorus starter fertilizer
By NDSU Extension Service Phosphorus-based starter fertilizer can increase pinto bean seed yield, says Greg Endres, North Dakota State University (NDSU) Extension cropping systems specialist. That finding is the result of nearly a decade of NDSU phosphorus-based starter fertilizer trials conducted at the Carrington Research Extension Center. The trials evaluated pinto bean response primarily with liquid 10-34-0 fertilizer applied using different methods and rates in loam soil generally testing low in phosphorus. Here are some highlights of the research: • Pinto bean seed yield increased more than 3 hundredweight (cwt) per acre with in-furrow (IF, meaning fertilizer placed directly with seed) -applied 10-34-0 at 2 to 3 gallons per acre (gpa), compared with the untreated check. However, Endres notes that seed-placed fertilizer can cause bean stand reductions, especially in dry, coarse-textured soils or with high fertilizer rates. • Yield was similar with IF- and band-applied (2 inches horizontally placed from planted seed) 10-34-0 at 3 to 6 gpa, although the plant population was reduced with IF application. • Broadcast or midrow (centered between 22- or 30-inch rows) band-applied 10-34-0 did not increase yield. • Yield was similar between low (2.5 to 3 gpa) and high (5 to 6 gpa) rates of IF-applied 10-34-0. The high fertilizer rate reduced the plant population. • The plant population and yield were similar between IF-applied 10-34-0 and the low-salt fertilizer 6-24-6. More information about this research is available in NDSU Extension publication “Pinto Bean Response to Phosphorus Starter Fertilizer in East-central North Dakota.” It’s available online at https://www.ag.ndsu.edu/crops/dry-bean. A printed version is available from the Carrington Research Extension Center or NDSU Extension county offices. “The published research summary should assist North Dakota farmers as they make pinto bean plant nutrition plans for the upcoming crop season,” Endres says. Northarvest Bean Growers Association provided support for the research. Visit https://www.ag.ndsu.edu/crops/dry-bean for general recommendations on dry bean plant nutrition.
Pork production at record high for March
From USDA March 2018 contained 22 weekdays (including 0 holidays) and 5 Saturdays. March 2019 contained 21 weekdays (including 0 holidays) and 5 Saturdays. Commercial red meat production for the United States totaled 4.43 billion pounds in March, down 2 percent from the 4.52 billion pounds produced in March 2018. Beef production, at 2.12 billion pounds, was 4 percent below the previous year. Cattle slaughter totaled 2.65 million head, down 2 percent from March 2018. The average live weight was down 19 pounds from the previous year, at 1,339 pounds. Veal production totaled 5.8 million pounds, 5 percent below March a year ago. Calf slaughter totaled 45,800 head, up 5 percent from March 2018. The average live weight was down 21 pounds from last year, at 219 pounds. Pork production totaled 2.30 billion pounds, up slightly from the previous year. Hog slaughter totaled 10.7 million head, up slightly from March 2018. The average live weight was up 1 pound from the previous year, at 287 pounds. Lamb and mutton production, at 13.0 million pounds, was down 8 percent from March 2018. Sheep slaughter totaled 190,700 head, 5 percent below last year. The average live weight was 137 pounds, down 3 pounds from March a year ago. January to March 2019 commercial red meat production was 13.3 billion pounds, up 1 percent from 2018. Accumulated beef production was down 1 percent from last year, veal was down slightly, pork was up 3 percent from last year, and lamb and mutton production was down 5 percent. ##### Hoof or foot? Either term is acceptable. A famous saying, “No foot, no horse,” warns that poorly cared for feet may make a horse lame and worthless, just like a car with a flat tire.

#### What makes for a smooth ride? When a horse paces (ambles), it is performing a lateral two-beat gait (pairs of legs on the same side form one beat) rather than a diagonal two-beat gait, as in the trot (diagonal pairs of legs form one beat). The side-to-side motion enables the horse’s back to remain very flat and level, thereby creating less bounce and a smoother ride. ##### North Carolina: No marathon Bingo games For certain organizations in North Carolina, bingo games can last only up to five hours. The state’s administrative code even contains a few more explicit restrictions on the game: only one in a 48-hour period and no more than a $500 prize. ##### Washington also produces oysters, mussels, clams, geoducks, and trout.

K-State researchers seeking ways to protect flour
By K-State Research and Extension News Most consumers typically don’t think that a food safety risk lurks in their kitchen’s flour bin, but a handful of product recalls since 2015 in the United States and other countries is changing that mindset. Rather than accept that it’s just the way the cookie crumbles, scientists at Kansas State University are taking the challenge head on to find ways to ensure the safety of flour and the many products that are made from it. “When I was trained as a food scientist, one of the things we were taught is that there were a few products that were generally safe,” said Gordon Smith, department head for grain science and industry at K-State. “Maybe those products were not absolutely safe, but they were on a continuum of things that were much lower risk. Flour was one of those products.” In January, 2019, General Mills announced a voluntary national recall of five-pound bags of its Gold Medal unbleached flour, citing the potential presence of Salmonella. There have been no confirmed consumer illnesses as a result of the suspect flour, but the company issued the recall “out of an abundance of care,” according to a statement. The incident symbolized a heightened awareness in the flour industry that the raw product could carry such potent pathogens as Shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC) or Salmonella introduced at some point from harvest in a crop field to the consumer’s kitchen. “We are curious about where the contamination comes from,” Smith said. “We can speculate and speculate, but no one knows the answer to that positively or if there’s a single source. No one knows where it comes from or what happens during storage or processing.” Armed with world-class laboratories capable of studying dangerous pathogens in controlled settings, the university is replicating commercial milling and baking processes and introducing E. coli and Salmonella at high doses to determine ways to reduce the risk of contaminated flour and finished bakery products. K-State food scientist and microbiologist Randy Phebus has worked for more than 30 years tracking foodborne pathogens. Since 2012, Phebus has been a lead investigator on a $25 million project to investigate the presence of STEC in beef products and cattle. He’s now part of a K-State group that has turned a watchful eye to flour. “Ultimately in flour, like in many other products, we would like to have a ready-to-eat, pasteurized product that is safe,” he said. “The (food) industry is looking for that type of product, but the reality is that raw, agricultural-based products like flour are not risk free. “We are on a quest to find a processing method or antimicrobial technology that will help the industry reduce these food safety risks to a very low probability of causing consumers to get sick or companies to have a contaminationrelated recall.” Kaliramesh Siliveru, an assistant professor in the Department of Grain Science and Industry, is leading computerized modeling of grain processing, re-creating the life of flour from the time a wheat stalk is grown in a farmer’s field to the time flour is scooped out for a homemade cake or cookies. That work is finely detailed, essentially building a picture of the entire environment for flour processing. “You have to make certain that the entire chain is clean,” Siliveru said. He added that, in practice, computerized modeling provides a fuller understanding of the potential spots where E. coli or other pathogens may be found, whether that be in the field, during harvest, at the flour mill, in a consumer’s kitchen or someplace else. “Computer modeling also provides insight into how these pathogens are transferred in the supply chain from farm to table and allows us to design a kill step to inactivate these dangerous pathogens,” Siliveru said. Phebus notes that K-State’s work responds to an important industry issue to maintain the safety of flour and baked products. “Companies have a brand and the liabilities that go with marketing retail or wholesale flour,” he said. “It’s also a very important food service issue because if you’re a pizza parlor or something like that making bread, you’ve got to know that you’re not going to be making people sick.

Paper clothing
This odd fashion fad was created in 1966 by the Scott Paper Company to promote its “Color Explosion” paper towels, napkins, and toilet paper. Scott probably never intended for people to take the paper dress very seriously…but when the company received more than 500,000 orders in six months, dressmaking companies got into the act. A full line of paper clothing, including $8 maternity dresses, $12 men’s suits, and even $15 wedding gowns, were available. For a time, disposable paper vacation wear appeared to be the wave of the future; travelers wouldn’t have to pack–they’d just pick up paper clothes at their destination and throw them away at the end of the trip. The fad really caught on: The Duchess of Windsor, Joan Kennedy, and even the Beatles were spotted wearing paper clothing. “Paper clothing is here to stay,” Time magazine proclaimed in 1967. But it was wrong. Paper clothes ballooned out in unpredictable places, tore easily, and cost too much to replace constantly. The fad was dead by 1970.

By Sharon Durham, Agricultural Research Service Scientists and engineers at the Agricultural Research Service (ARS) developed a more precise method to determine a major factor in grain quality. Quality testing is dependent on accurate and repeatable tests that assure a fair marketing system. That also means tests are always tweaked and improved to meet the needs of the industry. The recent advancement deals with a test known a “falling number” (FN). FN is a procedure used worldwide to characterize the suitability of wheat for processing into foods such as pan and flat breads, noodles, crackers, and cakes. The procedure relies on the heating of watery mixtures of starchy materials, like wheat flour, in a boiling water bath. The ‘falling number’ is literally the number of seconds it takes a standardized object to “fall” through a heated wheat meal-water mixture undergoing starch gelatinization and the enzymatic breakdown of the starch molecule. The longer the object takes to fall—a measure of its viscosity—the better the quality of the sample and the grain lot it represents. Through experimentation in a low-pressure chamber, U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) ARS agricultural engineer Steve Delwiche and his team at the Food Quality Laboratory in Beltsville, Maryland, developed the correction so that FN results can be expressed at equivalent laboratory conditions, such as what exists at sea level. Barometric pressure variation caused by laboratory land elevation and local weather patterns means that the thermal conditions of this test can vary, as can the reported FN. Depending on the land elevation of the laboratory performing the FN test, some lots on the margin may fall above the specification, but when evaluated at a different laboratory, for example downriver at a sea terminal, the result may fall on the other side. This can lead to uncertainty and inefficiency in the market system. Commonly, lots with FN below 300 seconds are discounted by $0.25 per bushel. A new mathematical correction addresses this variation problem. Starting in May 2019, USDA’s Federal Grain Inspection Service (FGIS) will implement the correction in a new release of their directive on falling number. Likewise, the American Association of Cereal Chemists International (AACCI) has amended their ‘Approved Method’ on FN as an optional correction. Wheat grown in the Pacific Northwest (PNW—Washington, Oregon, and Idaho) is a $1.5 billion industry just in terms of the farmgate price—the price of goods if they were purchased directly from a farm, without markup added by retailers. Most of this wheat crop is exported to customers overseas and is desired for its highly prized characteristics in end-product quality. PNW wheat tends to be grown at higher elevations than other regions in the country. So, too, are the laboratories that evaluate PNW wheat. The high land elevations of grain inspection laboratories in this region result in lower water boiling temperatures, and hence longer “cook” times during the FN operation. Implementation of this correction by the grain industry will allow for more accurate management of wheat consignments, which, for lots in the PNW alone that give test results near the 300 second cutoff, may result in savings of $10 million recaptured to the growers in weather-challenged years that foster low FN wheat.
Smooth as silk
Believe it or not, but one the most profitable commodities in the ancient world came from the salivary glands of a caterpillar. According to Chinese records, the empress Si Ling-chi was watching silkworms (caterpillars of the bombyx mori moth) in her garden in about 2700 B.C. when she discovered that their white cocoons contained shimmering threads inside. Noting that the threads would make a beautiful gown, she began to cultivate the caterpillars, discovered how to reel the silk fibers, and wove them into robes and other clothing. Thus she founded sericulture, the science of silk production. She even lent her name to it–the Chinese pronunciation of “Si Ling-chi” sounds similar to “silk.” The sheer, lightweight material became a profitable commodity worth its weight in gold. Silk even got its own trade route; from 139 B.C. through the 1400s, it was sold via the Silk Road across India, Arabia, Africa, and the Mediterranean. Silk was so valued that for 3,000 years, the secrets of where it came from and how it was made were extremely guarded–revealing them was punishable by death. Si Lingchi was later deified for her discovery and given the name Seine-Than, or “goddess of silkworms.”

All-American ghosts
Alcatraz. If you were to stay overnight on this island prison off San Francisco– which hasn’t housed a living prisoner since 1963–you might be in for a long night. Park employees, guides and even visitors have reported hearing the screams of long-dead inmates, footsteps of jackbooted guards and the slamming of jail doors…that don’t move. The old high school in Brunswick, Maine. Is full of tales about a drama student who died there many years ago. She was rehearsing a play on a balcony when she slipped and fell to her death. The building is now used for school board meetings…which are sometimes interrupted by slamming doors and books that fly off the shelves. Big Bay Point Lighthouse in Michigan. Is said to be haunted by the ghost of its first keeper, Will Prior. (In fact, pretty much every lighthouse in America is said to be haunted.) If you visit Big Bay and see a red-haired ghost, that’s Will Prior. Locals
say he’s harmless. Huntress Hall at Keene State College in New Hampshire. Is a freshman class dorm. Who else lives there? The college’s benefactress (and the building’s namesake), Harriet Huntress. Her wheelchair is stored in the attic. Students say it can be heard rolling around in the middle of the night. Belcourt Castle in Newport, Rhode Island. Is famous for its ghosts, the spookiest of which is a spectral monk who appears in front of a lion statue, walks from it, then disappears. Then he comes back and repeats the whole process all over again. Kemper Arena in Kansas City, Missouri. Is the haunt of former WWF wrestler Owen Hart. During a 1999 match, Hart was being lowered from the ceiling to the ring when the cable holding his harness snapped. He fell to the floor and died instantly. Hart’s ghost has been seen floating near the ceiling… still wearing his mask and harness.

“And it’s a home kitchen issue because if you’ve ever baked a cake, you know that even if you’ve baked the cake well, the flour gets all over the kitchen, so it’s a cross-contamination hazard.” Smith noted that K-State’s work includes faculty in the university’s grain science department and the Food Science Institute. K-State also is working with the Manhattan-based American Institute of Baking, which works with more than 200 bakery companies across the United States, and several milling and processing equipment companies.
Parts of the studies are being carried out in the Hal Ross Flour Mill, located in the university’s grain science complex in Manhattan, and in food safety labs in the Department of Animal Sciences and Industry. “It’s high level research, but it’s also information that is part of teaching students,” Phebus said. “We may be training the first generation of food science, milling and baking science students who will be food safety experts concentrating on grain handling, flour milling, bakery products and even pet food.”

MSU professor wins national award for weed research
By Marshall Swearingen, MSU News Service In recognition of his contributions to society’s understanding of weeds and weed control, a Montana State University (MSU) researcher has won a national award from the Weed Science Society of America (WSSA). Bruce Maxwell, professor in the Department of Land Resources and Environmental Sciences in MSU’s College of Agriculture, received the Outstanding Research Award at the organization’s annual meeting in New Orleans in February. “It’s a nice honor,” said Maxwell, who has been a member of WSSA since he was a graduate student in the ‘80s. According to Tracy Sterling, head of the land resources and environmental sciences department, Maxwell is “an outstanding scholar, innovator and educator. He’s well known nationally and internationally for redefining how we think about the ecology of invasive plant species and how they spread across the landscape. “Even more impressively, he has trained dozens of students who now apply these modeling approaches to improve the management of the nation’s crops, range and wildlands,” Sterling added. Maxwell’s recent research publications span a range of topics, including strategies for managing a common herbicide-resistant weed, findings about how cheatgrass takes hold on the landscape and methods of using GIS to estimate crop yield. Other recent studies have focused on the invasion of pines in New Zealand and the Patagonia region of South America. Maxwell has published more than 100 scientific peer reviewed journal articles and 13 invited book chapters, was lead author for the agriculture portion of the Montana Climate Assessment and serves as the co-director of the Montana Institute on Ecosystems. He played a key role in creating the interdisciplinary sustainable food and bioenergy systems undergraduate degree program at MSU. In previous years, Maxwell won the WSSA awards for outstanding teaching, outstanding graduate studies, outstanding paper in the journal Invasive Plant Science and Management and outstanding paper in the journal Weed Technology. He has chaired and been a member of numerous agricultural and ecological research grant review panels and has been a member of two National Academy of Science National Research Council Committees on Agriculture. He was a Fulbright Fellow in Argentina in 2007. Maxwell came to MSU in 1992 from the University of Minnesota. He earned a doctorate in crop science and forest ecology from Oregon State University, a master’s in agronomy from MSU in 1984 and a bachelor’s in botany from MSU in 1977. Following his undergraduate studies, he spent two years with his wife in the Peace Corps in Micronesia and subsequently traveled around the world. He grew up in Hamilton. The Weed Science Society of America is a nonprofit scientific society founded in 1956 to encourage the development of knowledge concerning weeds and their impact on the environment. WSSA promotes research, education and extension outreach activities related to weeds, provides science-based information to the public and policy makers, fosters awareness of weeds and their impact on managed and natural ecosystems, and promotes cooperation among weed science organizations across the nation and around the world.
Adding sulfur may boost wheat yields, quality
By K-State Research and Extension News In the past decade, scientists have been reporting that America’s move from burning coal to natural gas and lowsulfur coal has led to a large decrease in the amount of atmospheric sulfur, compared to 40 years ago. And while that’s good news for the environment, it also has led to a new challenge for the country’s farmers. “In recent years, sulfur deficiency has become a big challenge for wheat production in the southern Great Plains,” said Romulo Lollato, a wheat production specialist with K-State Research and Extension. Lollato said sulfur balances in many agricultural fields are now negative, suggesting that farmers may need to apply sulfur fertilizer at some point, especially in fields with sandier soils and low soil organic matter. He said it’s not uncommon early in the spring to be driving by a wheat field that looks bright green, a sign that the crop might be sulfur deficient. “The reason for the deficiency is that over time there has been a lesser amount of sulfur in the rainfall,” Lollato said. “We have less pollution going out in the air, and therefore we have less sulfur coming back to the crop.” A sulfur deficiency not only leads to yield losses, but also ultimately affects the quality of the wheat produced, he said. Lollato and his colleagues have been studying ways in which growers can add safe amounts of sulfur in conjunction with other nutrients, such as nitrogen. A recent project funded by the Kansas Wheat Commission and Grain Craft is exploring the role of nitrogen and sulfur with numerous wheat varieties, many of those common to Kansas wheat fields. Lollato said the scientists are trying to understand how wheat varieties respond to differing rates of nitrogen and sulfur. Their early data indicates that when sulfur is extremely deficient in a field, the crop showed no response to nitrogen, which inevitably affects its yield and quality. But when sulfur was present in sufficient amounts, “yield increased, and the crop became responsive to the applied nitrogen,” Lollato said. He adds: “We are able to use nitrogen more efficiently when sulfur is available or is added to the plant.” Lollato said the work continues in hopes of bringing specific recommendations to wheat growers. For more information, interested persons can contact their local extension agent, or Lollato is available at 785-532-0397, or lollato@ ksu.edu. “This is an example of the type of research that K-State, together with the Kansas Wheat Commission and Grain Craft is bringing to the Kansas wheat producer,” Lollato said.

Arborvitae stands tall as a low-maintenance hedge
By Kym Pokorny, Oregon State University For a hedge, arborvitae has a place. It’s tall, skinny, evergreen, low-maintenance and cheap. “Some people look down on arborvitae, but it fits in places that other things can’t,” said Neil Bell, a horticulturist for Oregon State University (OSU) Extension Service. “And it’s about as low-maintenance a plant as anything you can buy, if it’s sited correctly.” When finding a location for arborvitae in the garden, Bell recommends full sun and well-drained soil. “They can take some afternoon shade,” Bell said. “But when I say afternoon shade, I mean after 3. The more sun, the better. Otherwise, the foliage will suffer.” Arborvitae also need well-drained soil. If you have boggy soil, they won’t survive. Bell strongly suggests dealing with drainage problems before planting your arborvitae. Sometimes digging in organic material will do the trick, but for serious situations it may be necessary to install drainage tiles. “You’ve got to have good drainage,” he said. “If there’s standing water, it’s one of the few instances that they will not thrive.” The flip side of that is the damage incurred during increasingly hot and dry summers. Bell points to how some arborvitaes exhibited signs of dieback after the drought of 2015. Though many people think trees don’t need to be watered, it’s essential to give them a good soaking every two to three weeks during dry periods to be on the safe side. “Even if plants are established, they need water,” he said. “Even though they don’t wilt or show signs right away, you’ll see damage in fall. They’ll turn brown. You might be able to prune and remove the damaged tissue and then give it summer water the next summer. It may possibly recover.” What you shouldn’t do is prune the tree back to bare stems. Unlike laurel hedges that like to be cut back with abandon, arborvitae won’t produce new growth if pruned hard. They do, however, respond well to light pruning any time of year if necessary, to keep them shaped. “If they are well sited, planted properly and in enough sunlight, they will form a natural vertical green fence by themselves.” The most commonly found arborvitae (Thuja occidentalis) in the Northwest is ‘Emerald Green,’ also known as ‘Smaragd, which gets about 15 feet tall by 4 feet wide. When shopping, look for healthy plants that are relatively the same size. You’ll find them in containers or balled and burlapped. Plant arborvitae like any other tree, a process that has changed over the years. Dig a hole that’s twice as wide as the root ball and just deep enough so that the top sits 1 to 2 inches above ground. A good resource for complete instructions is Selecting, Planting, and Caring for a New Tree (https://catalog.extension. oregonstate.edu/ec1438) by OSU Extension. Space trees 3 to 4 feet apart. Some cultivars of arborvitae will turn a washed-out brown in winter, though the most ubiquitous ‘Emerald Green’ doesn’t have that characteristic. In those instances, all the foliage will brown up. Drought stress, on the other hand, will show up intermittently on individual trees and may not show up in every tree in the hedge. Arborvitae are sturdy plants and have very few pest problems. The exception is mites, but even those are very uncommon, according to Bell. A grayish cast to the foliage is an indication there are mites on your tree. What’s more common is deer munching on them. “If they find an arborvitae hedge, they’ll help themselves to it,” he said. “You see it more in eastern Oregon; in western Oregon there’s more for them to eat so they don’t do as much damage – but they will reshape the plant for you.” The deer feed from the bottom 4 to 5 feet and some people don’t mind. It depends on what you’re willing to tolerate. You can try repellents, but there’s no scientific evidence that they work and they need to be reapplied often. The alternative is a fence – either around your entire yard or around the hedge. If you get snow in winter, it’s a good idea to tie up the top of your arborvitaes or they could split. “Freezing rain is worse than snow,” Bell said. “It tends to peel them apart and once the limbs are bent over, they will stay bent over.” If you have an arborvitae in decline, be sure to determine why it died before replacing it and then buy the largest plant you can find so it catches up to it neighbors as quickly as possible. For help figuring out the problem, contact the OSU Extension Master Gardeners in your county. The bottom line, Bell said, is to plant arborvitaes in full sun with good drainage and they should perform well for many years.

NCERMEC announces funding of projects
By University of Nebraska-Lincoln IANR News The North Central Extension Risk Management Education Center (NCERMEC) recently awarded over $597,000 in funding for 13 project directors to develop extension risk management education programs for producers. For the 18th straight year, the Extension Risk Management Education (ERME) program has awarded grants for projects that educate farmers and ranchers with tools they need to address the uncertainties in farm income and manage their risk. Funding decisions are made by an advisory council of peers from the 12-state north central region who specialize in agricultural risk management. The funding year began April 1, 2019 and ends September 30, 2020. “This funding will be used to develop and implement educational programming for agricultural producers addressing production, human resources, financial, legal and marketing risk,” said Brad Lubben, NCERMEC program director. Project directors are from north central universities and government as well as nonprofit organizations. In addition to these ERME grants, five projects were each awarded $3,000 to explore needs for future programing. The North Central Extension Risk Management Education Program is funded by USDA’s National Institute of Food and Agriculture and has been hosted by the University of Nebraska–Lincoln Department of Agricultural Economics and Nebraska Extension since 2001. The Center was funded for the first year of their recent three-year $3.3 million award. In addition to the North Central Center, ERME regional centers are located across the country at the University of Delaware (Northeast), the University of Arkansas (Southern) and Washington State University (West). For more information and to see a full listing of funding recipients and their projects, go to www.ncerme.org.

And the cow ran away from the spoon
On May 9, 1962, a Guernsey cow in Iowa named Fawn was picked up by a tornado and flew through the air for a few minutes before landing softly and safely in a nearby farm a half mile away. The flight is believed to be the longest (but not the first) unassisted solo cow flight in recorded history. Fawn landed in the pen of a Holstein bull at a neighboring farm before she successfully wandered home. (The brief encounter resulted in a calf.) Amazingly, Fawn had a chance to beat her own record. In 1967 she was out grazing on a country road and was caught up in another tornado. She flew over a busload of gawking tourists and landed safely on the other side of the road. From then on, Fawn’s owner locked her up whenever there was a storm warning.

By Steve Wirsching, USW Vice President and West Coast Office Director It is U.S. Wheat Associates’ (USW) mission to “develop, maintain, and expand international markets to enhance wheat’s profitability for U.S. wheat producers and its value for their customers.” The overseas market has changed tremendously in the last 25 years. In the 1990s, the United States was a dominant global supplier. Today, it is one of many suppliers in a highly competitive international market. International trade has nearly doubled during that same time, driven by population and income growth. This growth has increased competition, elevating wheat quality as a vital component of value. Russia now boasts that it exports more wheat than the United States. While Russia exports more tons, the United States continues to lead the world when sales are measured in dollars. In 2018, Russia exported $5.8 billion worth of wheat as compared to $6.1 billion exported by the United States. U.S. wheat commands a higher price in the international market because customers recognize its quality, consistency, and value. USW supports the annual National Wheat Yield Contest sponsored by the National Wheat Foundation (NWF). Increasing wheat production is important to the long-term viability and competitive position of wheat as a food grain. However, wheat quality must not be compromised in exchange for higher yields. Growers need both higher yields and better quality. Along with the NWF and the National Association of Wheat Growers, USW recently helped sponsor a learning session, “Putting Quality in the Spotlight,” at the 2019 Commodity Classic in Orlando, Fla. The session focused on enhancing the message that quality is important. Panelists discussed why the top winning varieties should also be subject to minimum end-use functionality tests because some in the industry worry that the United States will adopt more wheat forage varieties to enhance yields, at the expense of quality. Farmers know you cannot sell something the customer does not need or want to buy. That is why quality is important.

A fly-tying work area can be as simple as an old table to hold a vice and plastic tubs. Photo by FWP.
Well-tied flies are works of art. Photo courtesy North 40 Outfitters.
Several years ago, an old man, who I really didn’t know, died and his wife gave me a grocery bag full of his fly-tying material. And for a long time, it sat untouched in the corner of my office. Over the years I’ve tied a few miserablelooking flies, but eventually my hobby quietly disappeared into a basement corner. Fly-fishing took the next bus out of town. Then, last week I stumbled across a cheap, metal and plastic desk headed for the dump and something clicked. Now, it’s the centerpiece of my resurrected fly-tying hobby. Just in time for me to dig through that dustcollecting grocery bag, several other containers swallowed by a deep closet and a bin full of memories. Most of us have hobbies through life. They can be as far-ranging as quilting, stamp collecting or growing roses. Among those who hunt and fish, some try reloading, skeet shooting or fly-tying. Hobbies generally make no sense. In theory, they are meant to give us relaxation and contentment. In reality, they steal our time and money like a bank robber. Fly-tying certainly fulfills that wanted poster. Still, some fly-tiers look on their hobby with reverence, equating it to a higher level of education, akin to a Ph.D. Meh, maybe. In hunting there are five recognized stages of development that many hunters go through. The stages are meant to reflect the maturing of a hunter from youngster to elder, from active doer to reflective thinker. The stages are: shooting, limiting out, selective, method and philosopher. Fishing has no set stages of development that I’m aware of. Yes, many anglers start by using a bobber and worm, graduate to casting
a spinner and end up in an expensive boat loaded with thousands of dollars of equipment, or stalking the banks of a renowned trout stream, dressed in designer fishing duds, handmade bamboo fly rod in hand. But countless men and women of all ages are just as happy to sit on a shore and cast a worm or minnow, then sit back and watch the world go by. There are as many reasons to fly fish as there are rainbow trout in the Missouri River: the physical reward of catching something to eat, the chance to escape our daily humdrum lives, the challenge to outwit an animal whose survival instincts make it much more wary of its surroundings than we are. Hobbies can certainly become addictive, even dangerously so. Fly-tying, however, seems so genteel, so constructive, so expensive. There are aspects to fly-tying that make perfect sense, like trying to imitate the insect fish are currently feeding on. Or you could just catch a grasshopper on shore and put it on a hook. For me, the old desk, a dead man’s grocery bag of fur and feathers, a closet full of long-forgotten equipment all offer a chance to reconnect, to relive a more joyful time, to chase wary fish and disappearing memories. As with all hobbies, mine does not require a why. But if pressed about the need to fly fish on an isolated stream with something I’ve created, I would turn to Shakespeare, as per usual, who said it best when he wrote: And this our life, exempt from public haunt, Finds tongues in trees, books in the running brooks, Sermons in stones, and good in everything.

Date celebrated: Last Saturday in June Armed Forces Day, observed in June of every year, was created to give everyone the opportunity to show their support and gratitude for those who are currently serving in the armed forces, and those who have done in the past. This support and gratitude is not just for those who serve currently, too – it’s also a shoutout to their families and the families of veterans. Armed Forces Day sees local communities coming together to celebrate everything that makes that armed forces great and to say a great thank you for their dedicated and loyal service. The History of Armed Forces Day The morale boost that members of the armed forces get from days like this is invaluable and reminds the families and loved ones of armed forces members why it’s so important. Armed forces members protect their country, and provide some incredible work around the world – including delivering aid to worntorn countries, offering security to vulnerable people, fighting the threat of terrorism and ultimately promoting peace.
The British Armed Forces is one of the country’s oldest institutions, comprising of the Royal Navy, the British Air Force, the Royal Marines and the British Army. There is no conscription in the United Kingdom, but anyone above the age of 16 may join. Although the Armed Forces do predominantly protect the country, a large amount of the work they do today is overseas – particularly working in humanitarian aid efforts and helping to protect civilians in warring countries. The peril that comes with working in war zones overseas does mean that often these brave men and women have to put their lives on the line – and today recognizes the great sacrifices these people make to ensure the safety of others. How to Observe Armed Forces Day Armed Forces Day is not meant to be a charitable event itself, but there are a number of charities which accept donations for members of the armed forces and for their families. Today, perhaps you could offer your support to them by donating. You could also set up a small event in your community, or take part in on of the many events taking part across the country today.

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.

Projects receive Science Initiative Faculty Innovation Grants
By University of Wyoming Extension Six research projects in the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources are among 13 receiving funding through $1 million in Science Initiative Faculty Innovation Grants at the University of Wyoming (UW). Projects are interdisciplinary teams of faculty members. The 13 were selected from 41 projects submitted. The most competitive proposals address the interdisciplinary nature of the research and involve faculty members from multiple departments, colleges, fields or disciplines at UW. The 13 were selected from 41 projects submitted. The most competitive proposals address the interdisciplinary nature of the research and involve faculty members from multiple departments, colleges, fields or disciplines at UW. Carrie Eberle, an assistant professor of plant sciences, was awarded $89,992 for “Establishing Crotalaria juncea as a New Forage Crop for the Sustainable Intensification of the Wyoming Agricultural Industry.” Eberle is the lead scientist (principal investigator [PI]). She will look at whether the plant Crotalaria juncea, also known as sunn hemp (not to be confused with the recently legalized industrial hemp) could fit into Wyoming’s short summer growing window, improve soil health, increase soil nitrogen and be used as a high-quality, low-cost alternative to alfalfa hay. Steve Paisley, an associate professor in the Department of Animal Science and interim director of the James C. Hageman Sustainable Agriculture Research and Extension Center near Lingle, is the project’s co-PI. An explanation of sunn hemp is here https://youtu.be/p__a_Ig5wiU. Don Jarvis, a professor of molecular biology, is the PI for “Assessing the Impact of a Viral Contaminant on the Biosafety Profile of the Baculovirus-Insect Cell System.” The project received $89,580. Jason Gigley, an associate professor of molecular biology, and Jonathan Fox, a professor of veterinary sciences, are co-PIs. Jay Gatlin, an associate professor of molecular biology, is co-PI for “Understanding How the Tubulin Code Regulates Reproductive Function of Gonadotrope Cells.” Amy Navratil, an associate professor of zoology and physiology, is the PI. The project received $90,000. Gatlin discusses his research on spindle formation during cell division here https://youtu.be/h29QY4jhHHI. Wei Guo, an assistant professor of animal science, is the PI for “Volumetric Muscle Loss Repair with Muscle Stem Cell-Seeded Synthetic Bioerodable Hydrogels.” John Oakey, an associate professor of chemical engineering, is the co-PI. The project received $90,000. Ginger Paige, an associate professor of ecosystem science and management, is the PI for “Tracking Eco-Hydrologic Changes in the Hyporheic Zone to Improve Water Resource Management.” Melanie Murphy, an associate professor, and Fabian Nippgen, an assistant professor, both in the Department of Ecosystem Science and Management, and Bret Ewers, a professor of botany, are co-PIs. The grant totaled $88,740. Dan Tekiela, an assistant professor of plant sciences, will serve as co-PI for “The First Experimental Test of a New Paradigm in Ecological Restoration.” Daniel Laughlin, an associate professor of botany, is the PI. USDA research stations in Cheyenne and Fort Collins, Colorado, will serve as project collaborators. The project received $69,232. Grants take effect July 1 and are either one- or two-year grants. The goal of the seed grant program is to stimulate new, innovative and cutting-edge research projects in the sciences that have promise for successful, sustained and substantial external competitive funding.

Polaris continues sponsorship of YF&R competition
From Montana Farm Bureau Federation The Montana Farm Bureau Young Farmer and Rancher (YF&R) Committee is thrilled that for the fifth year, Montana Polaris is the sponsor of the YF&R Discussion Meet, awarding a Ranger® Side by Side UTV to the winner of that competition. The Discussion Meet, which is open to Farm Bureau members age 18-35, is meant to simulate a committee meeting with ideas discussed and solutions developed. The MFBF YF&R Discussion Meet will take place Tuesday, November 12 during the MFBF Annual Convention in Billings. “We’re very excited that many of the Montana Polaris dealers have opted to donate a Ranger again to the winner of our Young Farmer and Rancher Discussion Meet,” said YF&R Chair Gil Gasper, who won the Discussion Meet—and a Ranger—in 2016. “It’s local money from the dealerships going to support this statewide event as well as supporting their local farmers and ranchers. It’s been a great partnership. With all of the excitement generated during our centennial year, we look forward to having many young farmers and ranchers participate in this event.” Cali Rooney, winner of the 2018 Discussion Meet, is thrilled with her Polaris Ranger. “The Polaris Ranger that I was so fortunate to win has been used every day for fencing, moving cows and putting out salt and mineral. We love it and are so thankful for the generosity of the Montana Polaris dealers.” Not only will the winner of the Montana Discussion Meet receive a Polaris, but an expense-paid trip to compete in the national YF&R Discussion Meet in January in Austin, Texas. Thanks to these participating Polaris dealers for supporting our Young Farmers and Ranchers: Gallatin Recreation, Bozeman; Helena Cycle, Helena; Sports City Cyclery, Great Falls; Yellowstone Polaris, Billings; Beaverhead Motors, Dillon; Riverside Marine & Cycle, Miles City; Montana Power Products, Ronan; Jesco Marine, Kalispell; Kurt’s Polaris, Missoula; Redline Sports, Inc, Butte; Lewistown Honda & Polaris, Lewistown; and Hiline Polaris, Havre.

Schutter Diagnostic Lab featured in national newsletter
From MSU News Service The Montana State University (MSU) Schutter Diagnostic Lab was highlighted in a recently published national newsletter. “Fresh from the Field,” a weekly bulletin from the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA), showcases transformative impacts made by grantees funded by NIFA. The lab was one of four that were featured in vignettes published in the April 11 edition. The diagnostic lab offers several services to growers, including diagnosis of plant diseases, insect damage and environmental plant problems. It also provides identification services for plants, insects and mushrooms, as well as management recommendations if needed. “Montana’s Schutter Diagnostic Laboratory Impacts Citizen’s Lives” discusses why the lab is a critical component of extension outreach and the role it plays for agricultural professionals and Montanans. According to the bulletin, the diagnostic lab routinely processes over 2,000 samples per year and is often the first place new pests in the state are identified. In 2017, the pests the lab first reported were the elm seed bug, root weevil, Fusarium root rot and Phoma stem blight. Researchers also helped clients accurately identify toxicity in plants that were killing wildlife. The bulletin highlights one example where several elk died after eating an ornamental yew shrub, which was linked to wildlife losses in Idaho residential areas. The lab is funded by NIFA through the Crop Protection and Pest Management Program, which addresses high priority issues related to pests and their control using integrated pest management approaches at the state, regional and national levels.

How to tell foxtail from Timothy and control it
By Laura Kenny, PennState Extension Educator, Equine 3. The plant crown. If you can pull or dig up the plant, take a look at the crown, where the shoots meet the roots. Timothy has bulb-like structures called “corms” and they may resemble the bulbs of onion grass. Foxtail does not have corms.

ATTACHMENTS & DOLLY FOR SALE
During summer, many pastures and hayfields contain an intruder. At first glance, it looks like the popular timothy grass, but a close inspection can tell you that it’s really foxtail. Foxtail is a summer annual grass, meaning it grows from seed in the spring and dies in the fall. To come back year after year, it drops hundreds and hundreds of seeds into the soil. Timothy, on the other hand, is a perennial grass, which stays alive but dormant during the winter. Timothy is a beloved favorite of horses and their owners for its palatability and the great hay it produces. While the immature foxtail plant has no ill effect on horses, the seed heads are troublesome. Each individual seed contains spikes with barbs called “awns,” which can lodge in horses’ mouths and gums, or even scratch an eye. These awns can work their way through the tissue, causing lesions and infections. It is not recommended to feed foxtail with seed heads to horses. Identification So how do we tell these similar looking plants apart? There are a few features you can check. 1. The seed head. This will only be obvious when the grasses are going to seed and aren’t mowed. The foxtail seed head may droop over, which is a dead giveaway that it isn’t timothy. However, there are several different varieties of foxtail, and some seed heads remain upright. Next, check for the awns, which look like hairs coming off each tiny seed on the head. These are what gives foxtail its illustrative name. Some varieties may have very long and obvious awns, but others may have shorter awns that you need to look for. Timothy has no awns.

2. The collar region. Pull a leaf away from the stem and examine the area where they meet (this is called the collar region). You may want to use a magnifying glass or lens. On a timothy plant, you will see a tall membrane come away from the stem and stand upright. On a foxtail plant, you will see a fringe of hairs instead of a tall membrane. The leaves of a foxtail plant may have some hairs as well.

Control Now that you can tell the difference between timothy and foxtail, what can you do about the foxtail in your pasture or hayfield? Because it’s a grass, it is nearly impossible to eradicate with herbicides that won’t also damage your desirable grass. You have 3 options: 1. Renovate your pastures. If the foxtail infestation is minor, you can overseed with desirable cool-season grasses in the late summer (mid-August to mid-September in Pennsylvania) so that by springtime, the new grass can shade out the foxtail seedlings. If the infestation is widespread and there isn’t much desirable grass left in the pasture, you may want to plow everything under and reestablish the field. This will bury the seeds too deep for them to germinate. Remember to take soil tests and correct pH or nutrient deficiencies before you seed, and to avoid grazing the pastures for at least 6 months after seeding to allow the new grasses to establish healthy root systems. 2. Let it grow up and begin producing seed heads, then mow it. If you keep an eye on these plants, you can tell when the seed heads start developing within the sheath (the boot stage). You will need to be able to identify the grasses without the seed head present! If you mow between this stage and full seed set, then the plant will not be able to drop seeds for next year, and it won’t grow another seed head during this year. There are three important things to remember with this method: • Regular mowing will not fulfill this task. Like desirable forage grasses, foxtail is not deterred by mowing. In fact, if you regularly mow it to a short height, you will end up with very short foxtail seed heads that are below your mower height. To use this method, you must let the grass grow tall before producing seed heads. • The foxtail seeds in your pasture may have germinated at different times in the spring. Therefore, they will not all set seed at the same time. You will need to watch them to know when to mow. CONTINUED ON PAGE C31

How to tell foxtail from Timothy and control it CONTINUED FROM PAGE C30
• There may be a considerable seed bank in the soil. You will need to do this for several years in a row before you achieve control. Letting the foxtail drop seeds just once will replenish the seed bank. 3. Apply a pre-emergent herbicide. There is one pre-emergent herbicide approved for pasture use in Pennsylvania called Prowl H2O that you apply in the spring, before the foxtail seedlings emerge, that will prevent them from growing. It is also effective on other summer annual grasses like crabgrass and some broadleaf weeds. This method has a few drawbacks. First, it is relatively expensive and needs to be sprayed twice for maximum effective-
ness. Second, the herbicide has a planting restriction of 10 months for grasses. Therefore, if your field had a lot of foxtail last year and you use this herbicide in the spring, you will have bare ground in its place and no way to fill it in with desirable grass until the following spring. Other weeds may pop up in the bare areas, and bare ground is at higher risk for soil erosion. It may be wiser to overseed the pasture in the fall and apply the herbicide in the spring. In conclusion, horse owners and hay producers should learn how to tell the difference between foxtail and timothy grasses. In a severe infestation, eradicating the foxtail may be difficult and can take several years.

From Montana Department of Livestock The Montana Department of Livestock has announced the hire of Gregory Juda, PhD, for the position of Laboratory Director. In his new role, Dr. Juda will lead the state’s only full service veterinary diagnostic laboratory (VDL) in its continued effort to improve customer service to veterinarians and animal owners while maintaining high quality diagnostic results. Dr. Juda is joining the laboratory at a key moment as the department is exploring construction of a new facility to replace the aging building located on the university campus in Bozeman. Dr. Juda earned his PhD in biochemistry from Montana State University (MSU). He is a seasoned leader, and last held the position of General Manager at a healthcare company serving hospitals and surgeons nationwide. “We are tremendously excited to have Dr. Juda join the team at the veterinary diagnostic laboratory,” said state veterinarian Marty Zaluski, “It is rare to find an accomplished manager that also possesses the necessary science background to take the laboratory into the future.” The emphasis on improving the ease of use and expanding the current client base will continue under this new leadership. The VDL recently expanded its hours of operation to include most state holidays and implemented an online web portal available to veterinarians to allow for easier access of laboratory results. Bozeman is already home for Gregory Juda and his family. He started his new role on April 29.

ORGANIC FERTILITY FOR YOUR CROPS
ARS entomologists publish guides on latest research tools
By Dennis O’Brien, Agricultural Research Service Entomologists have developed a variety of tools to study insects. They have flight mills where insects are tethered to a rotating arm, so they can monitor the insect’s flight speed and duration. They’ve developed specialized techniques for marking insects with proteins to track their movements, diets and feeding patterns. There are state-of-the-art video cameras and accompanying software for continuously monitoring insects, for weeks at a time, in laboratories. Researchers can attach electrical probes to insects to learn how they feed on plants and transmit diseases. But how would an entomologist just starting out, or one who wants to broaden the scope of their research, know what tools are available? How would they know, for instance, what software to use to analyze video of a caged insect recorded over a two-week stretch so they could better understand the nuances of its behaviors and life cycle? The answers are covered in a special collection of review articles put together by five ARS entomologists recently in the Annals of the Entomological Society of America, the journal published by the ESA. The papers offer a little bit of everything for entomologists interested in becoming familiar with the latest tools. They are the result of a symposium at an Entomological Society of America conference in 2017 where researchers were given 15 minutes to describe their tools and they agreed to write explanatory review papers to more thoroughly cover their topics. “Some of these tools are relatively new and to someone unfamiliar with them they can seem highly specialized. But as they come down in cost and become more widely available, more scientists are interested in using them and they should be able to tap into their potential,” says Jana C. Lee, an ARS entomologist in Corvallis, Oregon, who searches for ways to manage insect pests in small fruits and nursery crops. Lee’s introductory article and the papers are available online at https://academic.oup.com/aesa/pages/tools_of_ the_behavior_and_biocontrol_trade.

By Chris Branam, Oregon State University With a new scat study, researchers are chipping away at solving a biological mystery on the central Oregon coast: the existence of an isolated population of a small but fierce forest predator that makes its home in the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area. Pacific martens, which resemble a cross between a fox and a mink, are often associated with mature forests that provide their unique needs for denning, resting, and efficient hunting. However, a small, isolated subspecies known as the Humboldt marten occupies a narrow strip of young, coastal forest on sandy soils of the Oregon Dunes. Wildlife biologists have spent the last several years trying to figure out not only how many Humboldt martens live in the dunes, but why. A new study, published recently in the journal PLOS ONE, provides come clues. The findings were the result of a collaboration of Oregon State University (OSU) and the U.S. Forest Service Pacific Northwest Research Station. “We’re moving toward understanding why these martens are so rare,” said Taal Levi, a co-author on the study and a professor of wildlife biology in the Department of Fisheries and Wildlife in Oregon State’s College of Agricultural Sciences. Building upon previous research that showed an estimated 41 to 87 Humboldt martens live in the Oregon Dunes, the research team collected and analyzed 98 marten scats to get a better sense of what they are eating. Using a novel method called metabarcoding, which identifies the specific DNA sequences in the scat and allows for more accurate prey species identification, the team discovered that diets of martens are highly diverse but consist primarily of three main categories: voles, birds and berries. They found 12 species of birds, 10 species of mammals, five orders of insects, three amphibian species and three plant species. The study authors concluded that vegetation in coastal forests appears to provide, at least seasonally, more prey and fruit, and more overhead shrub cover compared with forests just inland. Another factor influencing Humboldt marten presence in the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area is a lack of competitors and predators. To determine carnivore abundance, they set remotely triggered cameras in the study area, using chicken, cat food, strawberry jam, and scent lures at the majority of the stations. Bobcats, a suspected predator of martens, were detected less frequently in the recreation area than in the older, interior forest. Western spotted skunks, a potential competitor of martens, were also found less often in the dunes. “Most mammals that eat martens aren’t in the recreation area,” said Katie Moriarty, a certified wildlife biologist and co-author on the study, adding that there still isn’t a definitive answer as to why Humboldt martens live in these younger forests. “But we were able to provide additional evidence to better understand where and why these martens might be there,” she said. “It would be great to have a longer study.” Humboldt martens were thought to be extinct until they were rediscovered in the 1990s in northern California. The marten population on the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area was later discovered to be part of the Humboldt subspecies, but this population was far smaller than anyone had realized. They were petitioned for listing under the U.S. Endangered Species Act in 2010 but withdrawn for consideration by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in 2015. Threats facing the coastal martens, which include the Humboldt population, include trapping and being hit by cars, said Moriarty, an Oregon State University graduate now with the National Council for Air and Stream Improvement. Martens are trapped for their fur throughout Oregon with no bag limit. In January, officials with the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife signed a court settlement that calls for new rules that would ban marten trapping. Moriarty was the lead co-author on a study published in 2018 that determined that the coastal marten is at a high risk for extinction in Oregon and northern California in the next 30 years due to threats from human activities. She is a courtesy faculty member in OSU’s Department of Forest Resources, Engineering and Management, and the OSU Department of Fisheries and Wildlife. Charlotte Eriksson, a doctoral student in the Department of Fisheries and Wildlife, was the latest study’s lead author. Also collaborating on both studies was Mark Linnell of the U.S. Forest Service Pacific Northwest Research Station.

Overall, when accounting for inflation, pastureland cash rents are down across all regions in North Dakota. “With respect to sales values, the northwestern region stands out with a total growth 2006 Ford F250 Lariat 4WD, 6.0L diesel, 173,000 miles...... of 11 percent since 2016, with an implied ap.......................................................................

State average pastureland values and cash rents in North Dakota have moved sideways over the last four years, says Bryon Parman, North Dakota State University (NDSU) Extension agricultural finance specialist. While all-time highs were surveyed in 2019, the difference between the previous high in 2016 and 2019 is small. Parman used data in the County Rents and Prices Annual Survey, funded by the North Dakota Department of Land Trusts, to develop the weighted NDSU regional averages. He notes, “Of the nine identified regions across North Dakota, three are not included in the report as pasture rental and sales data is sparse in the northeastern, northern Red River Valley and southern Red River Valley regions.” Compared to 2016, pastureland values were up 2.3 percent from $891 per acre to $913 per acre in 2019. This implies an appreciation rate of 0.6 percent per year, which is lower than the annual rate of inflation, nearly 2 percent during that same time frame. Statewide cash rents for pastureland in North Dakota show a similar scenario, where 2019 data yields a cash rental rate of $18.30 per acre. The previous cash rent highs occurred in 2015 and 2016 at $18.20 per acre. Thus, cash rents over the last four years have not grown significantly, leading to a declining inflation-adjusted rental rate. Since the previous highs seen in 2015 and 2016, nominal rental rates in the northwestern, east-central, southeastern and southcentral regions dipped and then recovered

Purchasing land
By Trampus Corder, Certified Crop Advisor and Broker/Owner of Corder and Associates, LLC You have made the exciting decision to purchase a spectacular piece of land! There are some initial thought processes that will ensure an efficient first call to the realtor, whom knows the fluctuating market and is there to offer you invaluable advice. First and foremost, what is it that you are looking to purchase? A list of stipulations or “must haves” will help your local realtor narrow the list of the many available properties. Decisions you will want ironed out would include whether you want a lovely piece of recreational property for you to enjoy, a place to build your dream home, an investment property, or production farmland. Once you decide the type of property and its intended use, make sure to communicate it to your realtor. Next, it is important to consider how you intend to finance your purchase. If you are planning on paying cash for your property, budgeting for your purchase should be relatively easy. If you plan on financing your purchase, there are lenders that specialize in making rural land loans. Most traditional banks and credit unions will not finance more than 5-10 acres so you will want to chat with a lender for those specific requirements to add to your bank of knowledge. In addition to assisting you with your financial needs, your land lender may have information or ideas that will help you focus your property search. Most local land lenders require a 15% to 25% down payment which is insight that allows you to plan and be prepared for extra costs. Besides that, planning for expenses that are ongoing such as maintenance and improvements like fencing, ponds, outbuildings, new appliances, landscaping, furnishings, and general repairs, allow you the data needed to budget your cash after the purchase. Is this your first land purchase? If so, you may be feeling inundated with numbers, decisions, budgeting, locations, and all of that good stuff. It may be in your best interest to seek out a buyer’s agent and utilize their expertise. A buyer’s agent can advocate for your needs and assure that you are asking the proper questions as there are many phases to the whole adventure of buying land. Acquiring land is a momentous part of your life. Establishing a working relationship with an agent can ensure adequate and scrupulous communication. Therefore, it would be a resourceful idea to make sure you do some research before selecting a land agent by asking them a few questions. How many land transactions have they recently closed? What is their real estate specialty? Do they themselves farm or ranch? These questions will illuminate their experience and their strengths and whether or not you work well together for a good fit. Remember the process of purchasing the perfect property for you takes time. Familiarize yourself with the different types of land for sale in your area and what they are selling for. Your land lender is a valuable resource so do not hesitate to ask for their references on which land brokers are trustworthy and easy to work with. Initiate conversations with individuals that already own land and ask for ideas about what they like. Go out and look at different properties to compare and contrast. Knowledge is always valuable and will put you at an advantage so do not be afraid to ask questions. Learning from reliable sources just assures that this process will be smooth and successful. Professionals are there to serve you in any way they can. Local realtors know the market and the sales history making it easy for them to compare and give you useful information on the area properties. Furthermore, quality real estate companies have the mindset and goals to save their customers money and a mission statement to offer fair and accurate advice allowing customers to generate a decision without making costly mistakes on their investment. Purchasing property is sure to be a positive experience for both the customer and the land agent when these helpful hints are applied. It then becomes a transition from purchasing property to enjoying the brilliant outcomes of all your hard work!

Tackling issues of the pulse insect pest complex in the Golden Triangle Region By Anamika Sharma, Ramadevi Gadi, and Gadi V.P. Reddy, Montana State University, Western Triangle Agricultural Research Center, Conrad, Montana
Figure 1. Adults of pea leaf weevil, pea weevil, and cowpea weevil (for cow pea weevil, Photos courtesy of: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Callosobruchus_chinensis)
Montana’s economy is driven by its agricultural production. Other than wheat, which is a primary crop, barley, canola and pulse crops are important crops. Pulses are an integral part of Montana farming system. Montana is a leading state in US pulse production and Field peas in Montana accounts for 48% of the total production of USA. Similarly, 46% of lentil production of USA come from Montana. Pulse crops, in the Golden Triangle region of Montana, work as an excellent option for rotation since pulse crops are economically beneficial for growers, soil health and they also promote biodiversity. Use of pulse crops is becoming popular among wheat growers since these crops also enable the breaking up of insect and disease life cycles. Pulse crops are an important source of protein, fiber, vitamins, and minerals and have less cholesterol component in them hence are very nutritious for human consumption. Nonetheless, pulse crops in Montana are the host of several insect pests such as pea leaf weevil (Sitona lineatus), pea weevil (Bruchus pisorum), pea aphid (Acyrthosiphon pisum), lygus bugs (Lygus spp.), and cowpea weevil (Callosobruchus chinensis). Pea leaf weevil is a well-established insect pest in Montana whereas pea weevil and cowpea weevil are emerging pests. These insect pests may cause major economic loses to the pulse crops in Montana. At Western Triangle Agricultural Research Center (WTARC), we are trying to incorporate various ways to manage insect pests of pulse crops which include use of bio-pesticides (pesticides developed from plants, bacteria, fungus, and minerals), pheromone-based traps, varietal testing, and survey for emerging insect pests. Two life stages of the insects - adults and larvae both are economically damaging. Pea leaf weevil adults feed on leaves and leave a ‘half-moon’ shaped notch on the leaves. Pea leaf weevil cause economic damage to field peas and fava beans. Their secondary host for overwintering can be clover and alfalfa. In the spring season, female pea leaf weevil lay eggs on the soil surface and after hatching larvae feed on the root nodules of the host plant, hence causing damage to roots. For pea leaf weevil, in recent past years (2015–2018) we have tested biopesticides and pheromone traps. In terms of bio-pesticides, we have tested commercially available bio-pesticides such as Entrust WP® (Spinosad, Saccharopolyspora spinosa), PyGanic EC® (Pyrethrin), Mycotrol ESO® (Beauveria bassiana GHA), Xpulse OD® (B. bassiana GHA + Cold pressed Neem extract) and Xpectro OD® (B. bassiana GHA + Pyrethrin) against adult pea leaf weevils. These experiments were done in lab and cage conditions. Entrust WP®,
Mycotrol ESO®, and Xpectro OD® are effective to cause mortality of pea leaf weevil adults in both fall and spring populations. Most effective treatment was Entrust. Same biopesticides were also tested on beneficial insects, lacewing and ladybeetle. Our results indicated that both Entrust and Mycotrol are generally harmless to larval stage of beneficial insects but Xpectro can be somewhat harmful. To monitor the populations of pea leaf weevil, we have installed pheromone-based traps at Conrad, Valier, Ledger, and Chester in the Golden Triangle areas of Montana. An established pheromone (4- methyl-3, 5-heptanedione) was used in lures in these traps. Pitfall, ramp, delta, and ground traps were used to install the pheromone traps. Pitfall traps proved to be most successful in attracting the maximum population of pea leaf weevil. For our future work, we are planning to develop an attract and kill method for pea leaf weevil. We can use pheromone as an attractant in a granular form which can be installed in the ground along with insect killing fungus as a killing agent to kill the insect after adult insects get caught in pheromone traps in ground. In 2019, we are also installing the pheromone lures in different fields in Golden Triangle Area to monitor the population of pea leaf weevil. In 2018, we have screened more than 30 varieties of spring peas for leaf damage by adults. In 2019, we are again screening several varieties of peas to scale the most susceptible and resistant varieties of pea against pea leaf weevil. To do this we are assessing the leaf damage levels caused by adults in spring and fall at Conrad and Havre locations. We are also assessing the damage caused by larvae of pea leaf weevil on the root nodule of pea plants. Another insect pest, pea weevil feed on field peas only and overwinters in nearby trees and storage bins. Pea weevil is not a stored grain pest but it can be found in stored pea seeds. Pea weevil completes its life cycle infield but can overwinter in stored peas, however, it never re-infests stored peas. Pea weevil was first time reported from Hi-Line area of Montana in 2014. Since then we have conducted an extensive survey for this insect. In 2017 and 2018, we have surveyed thirty-three pea fields, five elevators and 16 farm bins in Pondera, Teton, Toole and Liberty Counties. Pea fields in the blooming stage were also surveyed by sweeping the fields. The pea samples are regularly being brought to the WTARC laboratory to analyze them for damage. Although we have not found any incidence in our survey, damaged seeds with live pea weevils were confirmed from the CONTINUED ON PAGE C46

Twelve research projects were funded at $309,380 and 11 educational projects were awarded $234,591. Combined research and educational projects were awarded a total of $543,971 or 30% of all funding available. In addition to the $1.79 million grant hearing awards, each of the 56 counties and 7 reservations in the state are eligible to receive $7,500 per year. The Montana Noxious Weed Trust Fund grant program was established by the Montana Legislature in 1985. The advisory council reviews applications, hears applicant testimony, and provides funding recommendations to the director for final approval. Funding is typically passed through a governmental organization, local weed district, conservation district, extension office, or university. A compiled list of award recipients is available at http://agr.mt.gov/NoxiousWeed-Trust-Fund-Grants. Applications for 2020 Noxious Weed Trust Fund grants can be found at https://fundingmt.org in mid-July, for completion and submission by January 6, 2020.

Chester area (December 2017) by the State Grain Lab. We are continuing this survey this summer. Similar to pea weevil, another stored pulse insect is cowpea weevil. This weevil has a wide host range including peas, chickpea, pigeon pea, garden peas, cowpeas, mung beans, black-eyed peas, soybeans, lima beans, lentils, and wild legumes. Larvae of cowpea weevil also feed in the pulse seed and adults overwinter in seeds as well as nearby seeds. However, this insect does not cope with the cold weather of Montana and has less chances of establishing. In Montana, cowpea weevil was first reported in 2015 from lentil shipping containers. In 2019, along with pea weevil, we are also surveying and assessing the damage caused by cowpea weevil. We will be sweep-
ing pea fields and checking storage bins. At WTARC, our entire team is committed to study and resolve the ongoing insect pest issues and are also focusing on future insect problems. We are studying life cycles and behavior of insect pests of pulse crops to understand their activities in climatic conditions of Montana. We are continuously working on improving management strategies by incorporating environmentally friendly options such as bio-pesticides in our studies. We are also focusing on new strategies such as pheromone-based attract and kill strategy and exploring the resistant variety of peas. Nonetheless, there is still a lot more study is needed in terms of pulse crops insect pest complex to improve the quality and production of pulse crops in Montana.

Researchers find new clues for improving wheat

for nucleotide base changes, or mutations, that distinguish one wheat accession from another,” said Eduard Akhunov, a K-State wheat geneticist. He noted that the researchers found more than 7 million differences in the genetic code of the 1,000 lines. “These differences can affect the function of genes that control various traits in wheat that helped it adapt to new growth conditions, such as withstanding drought and heat stresses; fighting off diseases; and yielding nutritious grain,” Akhunov said. The changes that occurred in the genetic code can tell researchers a history of each wheat accession. “When humans started spreading wheat from the site of its origin to other places, they brought it into contact with wild wheat, and wild ancestors accidentally began to inter-breed with bread wheat,” Akhunov said. “What happened then was that bread wheat inherited the genetic diversity that was present in the wild emmer wheat.” That process of one species sharing genes with another species is called gene flow, and it is key for explaining the genetic diversity of today’s wheat varieties, according to K-State wheat breeder Allan Fritz. “Understanding gene flow between wild emmer and common wheat is more than just academically interesting,” Fritz said. “The importance of historical introgression suggests that a more strategic use of wild emmer should have value for future wheat improvement.” Fritz noted that K-State scientists have been using wild emmer in developing germplasm
for new wheat varieties in projects funded by the Kansas Wheat Association and the university’s Wheat Genetics Resource Center. The work by Akhunov and his research team allows breeders to “evaluate the diversity in wild emmer and be intentional and strategic” in how they employ desired traits in new wheat varieties, according to Fritz. “As we move forward, we can apply what has been learned here to also focus future efforts on traits related to health and nutrition that wouldn’t have been direct targets of historical selection,” he said. Akhunov adds: “For the first time, we have described how wild emmer’s genetic diversity contributed to the development of bread wheat. And what it’s done since humans domesticated wheat is it’s helped to develop a better crop.” K-State’s study was funded by the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative’s competitive grants program, administered through the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Institute of Food and Agriculture and part of the International Wheat Yield Partnership, which Akhunov said aims at increasing the genetic yield potential of wheat using innovative approaches. Akhunov also said that Corteva Agriscience and the agriculture division of Dow/ DuPont provided financial support through its collaboration with Agriculture Victoria Service. Their support, he said, allowed the researchers access to needed technologies and to develop the set of data indicating the genetic differences in wheat varieties, also called an SNP dataset.

North Dakota State University’s (NDSU) National Agri-Marketing Association marketing team won this year’s national championship in the student competition. “The NAMA marketing competition is an intense event that brings together 30 to 35 schools each year,” said David Englund, Agribusiness and Applied Economics (AAE) lecturer. Englund and Tom Wahl, AAE professor, coached the team. The competition was at the April 8-12 National Agri-Marketing Association (NAMA) conference in Kansas City, Missouri. NAMA is the nation’s largest association for marketing and agribusiness professionals. “The competition helps students gain practical marketing and research experience, while meeting with business professionals in agribusiness and marketing,” Englund said. “Each year, students take a new product idea and write a five-page marketing plan, which they turn into a 20-minute presentation for the competition.” This year, the NDSU team developed a marketing launch plan for a new product: an oat-milk ice cream called North Dakota Nice Cream. The product would serve a need for consumers, particularly lactose-
intolerant customers, while providing benefits to North Dakota oat producers. Team members were: • Clara Konetschka, sophomore in strategic communication from Mendota Heights, Minnesota. • Thomas Konetschka, senior in agricultural economics from Mendota Heights, Minnesota. • Emily Christofferson, junior in finance from Napoleon, North Dakota. • Jessica Refshaw, sophomore in agribusiness from Mahnomen, Minnesota. • Brita Swenson, freshman in agribusiness from Lake Bronson, Minnesota. • Ashley Bandemer, sophomore in marketing from Glencoe, Minnesota. • Katelyn Kokett, senior in agricultural economics from Fargo, North Dakota. • Nicholas Broberg, senior in marketing from Wayzata, Minnesota. • Dylan Kallman, sophomore in agricultural economics from Lino Lakes, Minnesota. • John Chadwick, sophomore in economics from Bemidji, Minnesota. Over the last four years, the NDSU team finished in third place twice and sixth place once, Englund said.
Honey bee colonies more successful CONTINUED FROM PAGE C53
the importance of pollen and nectar quality provided by the area surrounding the apiary. While the link between the quality of forage and colony health is generally known, this study highlights the value of agriculturally marginal (CRP) landscapes for honey bee production in a region that hosts close to half the U.S. managed bee population (about 1 million colonies) during the summer. “We’ve also shown that the benefits of high-quality forage such as that provided by CRP land carries right through the overwintering period and leaves bees in the best
shape to build up their numbers before being needed to pollinate almonds in February and early March,” said Ricigliano. Our results provide land managers and scientists with methods to evaluate the relationship between bees and the landscape. For beekeepers, it provides a basis for making decisions about where to put their apiaries for the summer and fall after crop pollination ends so that the colonies will be in a position to build up robust healthy numbers in time for the migration to California for almond pollination, Anderson added.
