Scientist returns to Scotland for ‘superfruit’ study
By Cathy McKenzie, WSU Extension When Washington State University (WSU) weed scientist Tim Miller teamed up with fruit researchers in the United Kingdom (UK) last summer, he was hoping to learn how weeds affect the quality and nutritional value of raspberries. He will travel to the James Hutton Institute in Invergowrie, Scotland for a second year of berry trials May 14-23 and, when he returns, his findings may help growers produce a higher quality “superfruit.” Miller developed the series of trial projects in order to find out whether weeds, or the herbicides used to control them, produce fruit with less of the vitamin C and other antioxidants and nutrients that make berries so healthful and appealing to consumers. His research complements that of UK researchers who have perfected the method for measuring the amount of many compounds in raspberry and black currant, two of the so-called superfruits that contain large amounts of antioxidants. Antioxidants are vitamins, minerals and other nutrients that protect and repair cells from damage caused by free radicals that can impair the body’s immune system. Superfuits are believed to help fight damage by boosting the immune system, enabling the body to better ward off colds, flu and other infections. “Since we both grow berries, it was a natural thing for a Pacific Northwest weed scientist and the small fruit breeders in the United Kingdom to team up and see what some of the factors are that affect berry quality,” said Miller. For raspberries, one common factor may be how weeds are managed. “Producers in the Pacific Northwest, as in Scotland, use herbicides to manage cane growth and control weeds,” Miller said. Their research may determine – for the first time – whether weed control also influences berry quality, sugar content, color and antioxidant level. According to Miller, last summer’s initial results linked the presence of some hard-to-control weeds like broadleaf dock, fireweed and quackgrass to such negative impacts on berries as lower sugar and vitamin C content and reduced color and juice sweetness. He said this year’s trials will provide even more useful information for berry growers and consumers across the globe. “A better understanding of the potential effects of management decisions will give growers one more tool to improve not only the yield of their fruit, but also how good those fruits are for consumers,” Miller said. “Whenever you test living plants in the real world, you can expect some variation in the results from year to year,” he said. “If berry quality factors respond the same way two years in a row, it’s a good indication that you are looking at a true response rather than simply a response due to temperature or some other environmental factor.” ##### You know you’re in a hillbilly family if there’s ever been a fight at the dinner table over the piece of fat in the can of pork-and-beans.

Montana moose study begins
Fish, Wildlife and Parks recently began a 10-year moose study focusing on the Big Hole, the Cabinet Mountains and the Rocky Mountain Front. The research effort comes because of decreasing moose populations, declining hunter harvest and increasing hunter days afield in some parts of the state. “We don’t have a lot of hard data to make management decisions,” says Nick DeCesare, FWP research biologist in Missoula. “FWP is mostly using hunter harvest statistics.” Twelve moose in each of the three study areas were darted, captured and fitted with radio collars for long-term monitoring of adult female survival, pregnancy and calf survival rates. The moose along the Front came primarily from the Badger Creek area and the Pine Butte Swamp just south of the Teton River. Blood, fecal, hair and teeth samples were taken from each moose for laboratory analyses of genetics, parasites, disease, age and pregnancy. The Front presents a bit of good news for the largest member of the deer family. “People are seeing more moose on the Front,” DeCesare says, “including the Sweet Grass Hills, than they did historically. But it’s still a relatively small population compared to the rest of the state.” Moose populations across the lower 48 states are fluctuating, in some cases dramatically, and no one is sure exactly why. “Minnesota has seen their moose populations crash,” DeCesare says. “They’ve even cancelled their hunting season. Up in New England, however, from Maine to Massachusetts, the moose population is increasing; same in Alberta.” Various theories have been put forth about the declines: more parasites from warmer temperatures, predators, changes in habitat. While some are quick to push the predator angle, Decesare is not so sure. “Minnesota has wolves, too,” he says. “But they were finding their collared moose are just dying. Whole. Without any predation.” Eventually, Decesare wants to put radio collars on 90 animals, 30 in each of the three study areas. That will require a lot of landowner permission. “So far everyone has been great,” he says.

2nd annual N.D. Angus University set
By NDSU Extension Service North Dakota State University’s (NDSU) Carrington Research Extension Center once again is partnering with the North Dakota Angus Association to host the second annual Angus calf feed-out program. Angus producers can consign steers to the North Dakota Angus University program at the Research Extension Center. The producers are able to retain ownership of the animals through the feedlot-finishing period and receive information about the feedlot performance of their cattle, as well as carcass data after the animals are marketed. The program’s objectives are to provide Angus producers with performance and carcass information for animals that are finished in a conventional North Dakota feedlot environment, and conduct valid, replicated feedlot nutrition, environmental and animal well-being research using Angus genetics. Producers will receive periodic progress reports on their calves’ performance and a final report on the overall performance, efficiency and carcass traits of their calves. This program also: • Increases awareness of the potential profitability of summer feedlot finishing in North Dakota • Promotes the use of diverse grain and crop coproducts available in the region • Assesses the value that can be realized by feeding cattle in North Dakota instead of transporting them to feedlots out of state The first North Dakota Angus University program was held during the summer and fall of 2012. Five producers consigned a total of 139 yearling and fall steer calves. In addition to being in the feed-out program, these steers were part of a feedlot research trial at the Research Extension Center. The calves gained an average of 4.5 pounds per day and had a feed efficiency of 6.31 pounds of dry-matter feed intake per pound of weight gain. They also had a dressing percentage of 63.5 percent, with 87 percent grading choice or better. Mike Wendel of LaMoure, who consigned calves to the program, was pleased with the animals’ results. “Not only did we get the carcass data back from the cattle we had at the university, but we also did a carcass and profit comparison to the calves we had there against the calves we kept at home,” he says. “I think that was a huge bonus for us,” he added. “We compared our rate of gain and carcass performance. It was a nice, unbiased comparison, and the whole process has been very educational.” Producers are not limited in the number of calves they can enter in the program, but they must consign animals in multiples of four. The calves being entered in this year’s program should be delivered to the Research Extension Center the week of May 13-17. For more information, contact the center at (701) 652-2951 or the following people at the center: • Vern Anderson, animal scientist, at vern.anderson@ ndsu.edu • Chanda Engel, animal science research specialist, at chanda.engel@ndsu.edu • Karl Hoppe, area Extension Service livestock specialist, at karl.hoppe@ndsu.edu Information about the program also is available from Wendel, a member of the North Dakota Angus Association board, at (701) 710-0425 or Nathan and Emily Spickler (the association’s secretary) at ndangus@daktel.com.

By Ron Smith, Horticulturist, NDSU Extension Service Q: I have a question about some vines mixed in with my blue spruce trees. Last year, I noticed huge vines climbing on the trees. I cut them almost to the ground and put salt on them so they would decay (based on some naive advice). However, they have re-emerged and may be even stronger. I visited a local store to see if there is any chemical I could spray to kill them. They warned me about the possibility of harming the trees as well. The best I can do is pull the very tiny vines out of the ground. What can I do to get rid of those thick vines that are more like small trees? A: Whatever those vines are, try to control them by again cutting them to ground level. After that, paint the cut surfaces with a broadleaf herbicide or with Roundup. This will confine the damage to the offending plant and not harm the desired woody plants. Depending on the vigor and species of the vine, this treatment may have to be carried out more than once.

By Ron Smith, Horticulturist, NDSU Extension Service Q: I have large pumpkins and a ton of buttercup squash in the garden. We will be going on vacation, so I wonder what temperatures they will tolerate in our absence. Thanks for your time. A: Cold damage depends on the degree of cold and its duration. It also has a lot to do with canopy protection. The first light freeze will take out the canopy foliage and leave the fruit pretty much unharmed. Ideally, it should be harvested at that time. If that isn’t possible, then hope for about a week to 10 days of balmy weather with no further freezes. Harvest the pumpkins and squash at your earliest convenience after that. I would strongly suggest getting a frost blanket and placing it over as much of your garden as possible to provide an extra layer of protection. Frost blankets are not expensive and are reusable for several years. For answers to general horticultural questions, go to http://www.ag.ndsu.edu/ horticulture.

Scientists at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies have identified patterns of epigenomic diversity that not only allow plants to adapt to various environments, but could also benefit crop production and the study of human diseases. Published March 6 in Nature, the findings show that in addition to genetic diversity found in plants throughout the world, their epigenomic makeup is as varied as the environments in which they are found. Epigenomics is the study of the pattern of chemical markers that serve as a regulatory layer on top of the DNA sequence. Depending on where they grow, the plants’ epigenomic differences may allow them to rapidly adapt to their environments. Epigenomic modifications alter gene expression without changing the letters of the DNA alphabet (A-T-C-G), providing cells with an additional tool to fine-tune how genes control the cellular machinery. These changes occur not only in plants, but in humans as well. “We looked at plants collected from around the world and found that their epigenomes are surprisingly different,” says senior author Joseph R. Ecker, a professor in Salk’s Plant Molecular and Cellular Biology Laboratory

Parliamentary Procedure: To Address the Chair When a club member wishes to speak in a club meeting, he or she should stand and address the chair as Mister or Madam President. Remarks should be addressed to the president and there should be no talking among members when business is being conducted. To Make a Motion Most of the business that club members conduct is done through the form of motions. To make a motion after obtaining the floor, the member says, “Madam or Mister President, I move that ….” After the motion has been seconded, the president calls for discussion. Each person who wishes to discuss the motion addresses the chair and is recognized before making comments. When the discussion is finished, the president says, “Are you ready for the question?” The club members respond, “Question,” if they are ready to vote. The president calls for the vote
by saying, “All those in favor say ‘Aye’” (pronounced “I”). “All those opposed, ‘No’”. If the president cannot tell which side has won, a hand count vote may be taken. Call Mike at After hearing the vote, the president states, (406) 734-5454 evenings or (406) 734-5498 days “The ayes (or nos) have it and the motion is (or is not) carried.” In the case of a tie, the president or presiding officer casts the deciding vote. Amendments to Motions Amendments may be made to a motion. An amendment must be made in the form of SELLING 15 PUREBRED a motion, seconded and voted on before the motion as amended can be voted on.

There are two general types of committees. Standing Committees are active throughout the entire year. These may include: • Program Committee • Membership Committee • Music Committee • Recreation Committee • Activity Committee Special Committees are appointed and serve for a single event.

LEAD Fellowship applications available
By University of Nebraska-Lincoln IANR Fellowship applications for Nebraska LEAD (Leadership Education/Action Development) Group 33 are now available for men and women involved in production agriculture or agribusiness. “Up to 30 motivated men and women with demonstrated leadership potential will be selected from five geographic districts across our state,” said Terry Hejny, Nebraska LEAD Program director. In addition to monthly three-day seminars throughout Nebraska from mid-September through early April each year, Nebraska LEAD Fellows also participate in a 10-day National Study/Travel Seminar and a two week International Study/Travel Seminar. Seminar themes include leadership assessment and potential, natural resources and energy, agricultural policy, leadership through communication, our political process, global perspectives, nuclear energy, social issues, understanding and developing leadership skills, agribusiness and marketing, advances in health care and the resources and people of Nebraska’s Panhandle, Hejny said. The Nebraska LEAD Program is designed to prepare the spokespersons, problem-solvers and decision makers for Nebraska and its agricultural industry. In its 32nd year, the program is operated by the Nebraska Agricultural Leadership Council, a nonprofit organization, in collaboration with the University of Nebraska’s Institute of Agriculture and Natural Resources and in cooperation with Nebraska colleges and universities, business and industry, and individuals throughout the state. Applications are due no later than June 15 and are available via e-mail from the Nebraska LEAD Program. Please contact Shana at sgerdes2@unl.edu.

Nebraska LEAD Program offices are in the Institute of Agriculture and Natural Resources at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.
Fish oil may improve immunity
By Michigan State University New findings from a Michigan State University (MSU)led study suggest a possible role for fish oil in improving immunity among people with certain health conditions. The fatty acids contained in fish oil are thought to be effective at reducing inflammation. That’s good, says MSU researcher Jenifer Fenton, because inflammation contributes to rheumatoid arthritis, celiac disease and other autoimmune disorders in which the immune system attacks the body’s healthy cells. But inflammation is a sign of increased immune system activity – it’s why wounds get red and puffy as they heal – so it’s widely thought that if fish oil fights inflammation, it may also influence overall immune function. A team led by Fenton, assistant professor in the Department of Food Science and Human Nutrition, examined that influence by studying how the B cells of mice respond to fish oil. B cells are white blood cells that produce antibodies and call other immune cells to join the fight when infections occur. For five weeks, one group of mice was fed a regular diet while the others had a diet supplemented with fish oil rich in a fatty acid called DHA. The researchers found that mice in the fish oil group had B cells that produced more antibodies and more of the chemicals that alert other cells to threats. “Our data showed that the B cells not only weren’t suppressed – which would be the dogma – but that fish oil even enhanced their function,” Fenton said. While more research is needed before the mouse study’s implications for humans become clear, Fenton pointed out that boosting B-cell activity may be good for some people. “For example, the complication and mortality rate from influenza is higher among obese individuals, so that could be a situation where enhancing B-cell function could be useful,” she said. Fenton collaborated with colleagues from the lab run by East Carolina University researcher S. Raza Shaikh. The National Institutes of Health supported the study, which was published in the Journal of Leukocyte Biology.
Preserving family relations in agriculture
By B. Lynn Gordon, SDSU Extension Cow/Calf Field Specialist Dave Specht, President of Advising Generations LLC, Connell, Washington was one of the presenters at the 20th Anniversary of Cattlemen’s College held in conjunction with the 2013 National Cattlemen’s Beef Association Convention and Trade Show, Tampa, Florida, February 6-9. Specht spoke to a room full of producers about how to preserve family relations when starting the process or while in the process of transitioning the family farm to the next generation. Prior to starting his own consulting firm, Specht worked with the University of Nebraska – Lincoln (UNL) as coordinator of the Family Business Management program. While at UNL, he worked with hundreds of farm families to help them identify transitioning steps to make the process go smoothly when one generation is ready to move into a more responsible role on the farm and the other generation is ready to retire. There are many components and challenges that come along with this transition and Specht addressed these key points in his presentation at Cattlemen’s College: 1. Roles of Family members: Family members have different roles in the operation. Some family members live on the farm/ranch and are active in the daily activities and others may not live on the ranch but have a role or piece of the operation. Specht outlined seven different roles family members could fulfill right from being the family, owner and operator to being a family member and owner, but not operator. Throughout each of the seven different options that can consist in a farming operation, how these roles are understood and carried out can result in very different dynamics to a family business. 2. The three C’s in family transitions: Contingency Plan of Ownership – the what if? What are the contingency plans for ownership and management. Is there a plan in place? Cash Flow – How does the operation continue to produce cash flow for the senior members of the family as they want to move into a diminished role and is there enough cash flow for the younger generation to come back to the farm/ranch and make a living as well. Communication – How do you have the same perceptions and expectations between generations? Specht emphasized that getting the conversation started is one of the most difficult steps in family transitions and that’s what makes communication so important. “Starting the discussion and conversation, and being open and having that discussion is most important,” Specht says.

By University of Wyoming Extension Wyoming resource experts have written a 48-page guide to help landowners prepare for and cope with wildfires. The “Living with Wildfire in Wyoming” guide includes recommendations for landowners, such as using defensible space practices to reduce the fire risk to structures, being prepared if evacuations should occur and addressing the effects of fire on a property. “As we get ready for what could be another challenging fire season, I hope that folks who live in rural areas will find this publication useful in planning for the upcoming year and in recovering from last year’s fires,” said Bill Crapser, state forester, Wyoming State Forestry Division. Specific topics include insurance issues, potable water and sewer systems, hazards following a fire, soil erosion from wildfire damage, reseeding, weed control and livestock grazing considerations. Suggestions to address issues caused by wildfire are provided in an example property. “There were at least 1,300 fires affecting more than 600,000 acres in Wyoming last year,” said Jennifer Thompson, small-acreage outreach coordinator with University of Wyoming Extension. “What type of season we have this year remains to be seen, but beetle-killed trees combined with dry conditions could lead to an equally active season. Whatever happens, wildfire is part of life in Wyoming whether you live in a forested, sagebrush or grassland area.” The guide is available at extension, Wyoming State Forestry Division and some conservation district offices throughout Wyoming. The guide is also available online at www.uwyo.edu/barnbackyard and clicking on the link under News for the Season. Glen Whipple, director of University of Wyoming Extension, said the guide is an important educational tool for extension. “I think this publication is an important contribution to the citizens of Wyoming and extension at the university,” he said, “in that it provides not only solutions and ways to reclaim property damaged by the fires of last summer but also includes information about how to landscape your property to reduce potential fire damage if we have another difficult fire season in 2013 or in the future.” More information on wildfires is available on the Barnyards and Backyards website at www.uwyo.edu/barnbackyard/resources/wildfire.html. For more information about the guide, call Thompson at 307-745-3698 or email her at jsjones@uwyo.edu.
Camp offers youth taste of technology
By NDSU Extension Service North Dakota youth will have an opportunity in June to learn about building robots, using global positioning system technology and making maps. The North Dakota State University (NDSU) Extension Service is holding a GEAR-Tech-21 (Geospatial and Robotics Technologies for the 21st Century) Camp on the NDSU campus in Fargo from June 17 to 20. The camp is open to youths who will be entering grades five to eight this fall. Youth do not need to be a 4-H member to attend the camp. Participants will be able to: • Build and program robots • Operate a hand-held GPS receiver • Apply robotics, GPS and geographic information system technologies to geo-tracking, navigation and map making • Learn about information technology’s role in natural resources and precision agriculture • Explore the outdoors • Learn about careers in science, technology, engineering and math • Complete fun challenges and take part in a virtual competition with youth across the U.S. The cost of the camp is $200 per participant. That includes all meals, overnight housing, and a camp workbook, supplies and T-shirt. Youth who will be riding the designated 4-H bus to camp will need to pay an additional $50. The registration deadline is June 1. The camp is limited to 12 youth. Register online at https://nd.4honline.com. For more information, contact Linda Hauge, 4-H youth development specialist, at (701) 231-7964 or linda.hauge@ ndsu.edu.

Invasive weeds could shed light on climate-coping
By Cornell University In the race to adapt to climate change, weeds may be the winners. Understanding their well-honed coping mechanisms could inform strategies for ecological management, says a Cornell crop and soil researcher. While other species are expected to suffer from environmental fluctuations, changes in temperature may help invasive weeds expand their ranges. Many weeds are capable of relatively rapid genetic change as well, further enhancing their ability to colonize new areas. The findings stem from the study, “Predicting Weed Invasion in Canada Under Climate Change: Evaluating Evolutionary Potential (http://pubs.aic.ca/doi/abs/10.4141/ cjps2011-280?journalCode=cjps),” published in the Canadian Journal of Plant Science (92:2012) by weed ecologist Antonio DiTommaso, associate professor of crop and soil sciences and the Richard C. Call, Director of Agricultural Sciences, and biologist David Clements of Trinity Western University. “The standard modeling approach treats plants like static entities,” DiTommaso said. “But changes in weed distributions may also reflect evolutionary change in the plants themselves. We’ve already seen them change in response to human influences such as farming practices.” For many years, scientists thought weeds would not develop herbicide resistance on a comparable scale to the insecticide resistance that emerged in the 1950s and 1960s; now, herbicide resistance is widespread, showing weeds have a strong potential to evolve in the presence of intense selection pressure, DiTommaso said. In the study, the researchers looked at four different weed species -- Himalayan balsam, velvetleaf, Japanese knotweed and johnsongrass -- that were expanding their ranges northward within North America. They observed evidence for potential evolutionary responses to climate change in each species, despite population genetic differences. DiTommaso said that the study’s findings will help address the spread of weeds and the economic and ecological damage it could cause. He’s also intrigued by what weeds can teach us about inhabiting and restoring degraded areas. “Most people define weeds simply as plants out of place, but from an ecological point of view they’re just especially good at colonizing disturbed sites and staying abundant under repeated disturbance,” he said. “Ecologically, they’re just survivors.” DiTommaso said weeds are also are essential to agriculture and human well-being, protecting and restoring the soil and providing surgery when areas are torn up for fields, burned or otherwise altered. “Weeds are pioneers that initiate a process that can eventually restore whatever forest, savanna, prairie or other ecosystem was native there,” he said.

Bob Pace chosen as 2012 Conservationist of the Year
The Toole County Conservation District announced that Robert Pace has been selected as the 2012 Conservationist of the Year, according to Terry Tomsheck, Chairman of the TCCD Board of Supervisors. “Pace and his wife Dana live the conservation principles he represented for the sixteen years he served on the Toole County Conservation District Board,” Tomsheck was quoted as saying. The Pace’s operate Pacerosa Inc., a dryland operation located in north Toole County where they raise wheat, barley, peas, canola, lentils, hay and cows and demonstrate their commitment to a sustainable operation with a plethora of conservation practices. Pace has incorporated legumes into his cropping rotation, followed conservation tillage practices, utilized perennial vegetation on the most erosive fields, planted trees, installed watering systems to improve grazing distribution on his rangeland, and rested rangeland pastures when he could. Pace feels strongly about conservation and has sought to instigate a recycling program in the County well before the economics of this region deemed it feasible. When Pace applied for to the Conservation Security Program (CSP) in 2005, he was initially awarded a Tier 1 contract. The program rules in place at the time required that he adopt additional practices on his native rangeland. He wasted no time getting his grazing plan reviewed and instituted a rangeland monitoring program to ensure his range met the criteria. It was because of these dedicated efforts that he was able to modify to Tier 3 when the opportunity allowed. Pace has been a vocal champion for producers that were unable to even apply for this CSP due to the watershed approach in place at the time. Pace continually urged the USDA to open applications to all producers in the interest of fairness. Pace has planted numerous trees to improve his property, working hard to get the trees established and is now benefitting from the wind and thermal protection the trees offer, not to mention the aesthetic beauty they lend to the landscape. “Bob Pace has a lifetime track record of promoting and implementing conservation – sometimes “going against the grain” to do so. It’s this commitment to the land and resources that merit his recognition as the 2012 Conservationist of the Year,” stated Tomsheck.

Nation’s river and stream miles in poor condition
By U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Recently, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) released the results of the first comprehensive survey looking at the health of thousands of stream and river miles across the country, finding that more than half – 55 percent – are in poor condition for aquatic life. “The health of our Nation’s rivers, lakes, bays and coastal waters depends on the vast network of streams where they begin, and this new science shows that America’s streams and rivers are under significant pressure,” said Office of Water Acting Assistant Administrator Nancy Stoner. “We must continue to invest in protecting and restoring our nation’s streams and rivers as they are vital sources of our drinking water, provide many recreational opportunities, and play a critical role in the economy.” The 2008-2009 National Rivers and Stream Assessment reflects the most recent data available, and is part of EPA’s expanded effort to monitor waterways in the U.S. and gather scientific data on the condition of the Nation’s water resources. EPA partners, including states and tribes, collected data from approximately 2,000 sites across the country. EPA, state and university scientists analyzed the data to determine the extent to which rivers and streams support aquatic life, how major stressors may be affecting them and how conditions are changing over time. Findings of the assessment include: • Nitrogen and phosphorus are at excessive levels. Twenty-seven percent of the nation’s rivers and streams have excessive levels of nitrogen, and 40 percent have high levels of phosphorus. Too much nitrogen and phosphorus in the water—known as nutrient pollution—causes significant increases in algae, which harms water quality, food resources and habitats, and decreases the oxygen that fish and other aquatic life need to survive. Nutrient pollution has impacted many streams, rivers, lakes, bays and coastal waters for the past several decades, resulting in serious environmental and human health issues, and impacting the economy. • Streams and rivers are at an increased risk due to decreased vegetation cover and increased human disturbance. These conditions can cause streams and rivers to be more vulnerable to flooding, erosion, and pollution. Vegetation along rivers and streams slows the flow of rainwater so it does not erode stream banks, removes pollutants carried by rainwater and helps maintain water temperatures that support healthy streams for aquatic life. Approximately 24 percent of the rivers and streams monitored were rated poor due to the loss of healthy vegetative cover. • Increased bacteria levels. High bacteria levels were found in nine percent of stream and river miles making those waters potentially unsafe for swimming and other recreation. • Increased mercury levels. More than 13,000 miles of rivers have fish with mercury levels that may be unsafe for human consumption. For most people, the health risk from mercury by eating fish and shellfish is not a health concern, but some fish and shellfish contain higher levels of mercury that may harm an unborn baby or young child’s developing nervous system. EPA plans to use this new data to inform decision-making about addressing critical needs around the country for rivers, streams, and other water bodies. This comprehensive survey will also help develop improvements to monitoring these rivers and streams across jurisdictional boundaries and enhance the ability of states and tribes to assess and manage water quality to help protect our water, aquatic life, and human health. Results are available for a dozen geographic and ecological regions of the country. More information: http://www.epa.gov/aquaticsurveys

Group helps agroforestry efforts take root
By Iowa State University More than trees are lost when woodlots and fence lines disappear from rural landscapes. When trees and woody plantings are removed, a landscape has a lot less to offer in the form of habitat and cover for birds, bats, pollinators and wildlife, water filtration potential and maybe most importantly, opportunities for the people who own the land. A group of researchers, agency representatives, educators, farmers and nonprofit consultants from five Midwest states met recently to discuss the opportunities related to agroforestry. All are part of the three-year-old Mid-American Agroforestry Working Group, also known as MAAWG. The theme of the March 19-20 meeting was “From Seedling to Sapling: Advancing Agroforestry into Working Landscapes.” Agroforestry is the intentional integration of forestry and agricultural practices to develop sustainable land-use systems that create economic opportunities for farmers. Agroforestry practices include planting windbreaks and buffers, grazing livestock in woodlands (called silvopasture), growing trees and nuts alternatively with row crops (called alley cropping), and cultivating specialty crops such as mushrooms in forest understory and producing maple syrup. “I think we’re only beginning to tap into the many opportunities related to agroforestry, especially among women landowners, beginning farmers, people on acreages, and farmers with pockets of land less suitable for row crops,” said Jeri Neal, who coordinates MAAWG’s efforts through the Leopold Center for Sustainable Agriculture at Iowa State University. The Leopold Center hosted the March meeting with support from the National Agroforestry Center located in Nebraska. MAAWG member Tom Wahl owns Red Fern Farm in southeast Iowa and agreed that agroforestry information is needed, especially among landowners. “We need to be more aggressive in helping landowners see that they have options to produce a wide variety of woody crops that can compete with the financial returns from commodities like corn and soybeans,” he said. The opportunities for woody perennials to meet landowners’ objectives for income and other goals, while also providing environmental benefits, were emphasized by other presenters, including Jeff Jensen, a Trees Forever outreach specialist and hazelnut grower, and Diomy Zamora, a University of Minnesota Extension Educator who first worked in agroforestry in the Philippines. Currently, MAAWG efforts are focused in Iowa, Missouri, Minnesota, Nebraska and Wisconsin. The second day of the meeting was devoted to planning an Agroforestry Training Academy Workshop to be held in Columbia, Missouri, in August. Mike Gold, with the University of Missouri Center for Agroforestry, leads planning for the 2013 agroforestry train-the-trainer weeklong workshop, the first of two such events over two years. The training events are being funded primarily by a grant from the North-Central Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education Program of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, with assistance from the Mid-American Agroforestry Working Group.

Food drive fills student’s room
By K-State Research and Extension News Children can be creative, especially when it comes to excuses for not cleaning their room. But, if you think you’ve heard everything, read on. Colby Weishaar is 12; he’s in the seventh grade, and active in school and community activities, including Kansas 4-H. He lives in Nortonville, in northeast Kansas, and proposed a local, canned food drive to gather enough non-perishable foods to cover the floor of his bedroom as his 4-H community service project for the year. Weishaar chose a name – “Operation Kick Me Out of My Bedroom” - that provided a vision for his goal, and composed an appeal letter that he sent to 100 area businesses, Jefferson County 4-H clubs, and extended family and friends. The response to date, more than 2,100 non-perishable food items and $1,000 in donations to buy additional food, has covered the bedroom floor, filled the room, and is now filling up the family’s basement. The project has exceeded his and his family’s expectations. Weishaar said he choose a food drive because new food pantries have opened in the county. “Giving back to the community is an important part of being a good citizen, and an important part of what I have learned - and practiced - as a 4-H member,” said Weishaar, who dedicated the food drive to Dee Rule, former Jefferson County 4-H Citizenship Project leader who passed away from cancer. The seventh grader has participated in a variety of 4-H projects and also is at ease working in the garden, taking photos, showing cattle - and giving a speech. He’ll continue the food drive until June, when non-perishable foods and cash donations will be distributed to three Jefferson County, Kansas, food pantries: God’s Storehouse in Meriden; Valley Falls Food Pantry in Valley Falls, and Pantry of Hope in Nortonville. Weishaar is a member of the Lucky 4 4-H Club, and the son of Rob and Bridget Weishaar.

By James Sedman, consultant to the Department of Agricultural and Applied Economics in the University of Wyoming College of Agriculture and Natural Resources, and John Hewlett, farm and ranch management specialist in the department Budget tools to help producers build a better risk management plan have been developed by the academic professionals at Right-Risk.org. The tools cover the partial, enterprise, and whole farm budgeting process and may be found under the Resources tab on the site. Each tool is an Excel-based worksheet with a short guide showing examples of each facet of the budget. In future articles, we describe how producers can use these tools to analyze past and future business actions and determine the best risk management strategies. Partial Budgeting Partial budgeting might be considered a first step in the budget building process; simply put, to determine the net effect on income and profitability of a smaller change in business operations. It is an important part of a comprehensive risk management plan. Partial budgeting can help a producer break down simple changes in an operation and evaluate the effects of those changes on
overall risk exposure. This detailed breakdown helps a producer carefully consider alternatives for risk management. The partial budget tool examines four potential effects of any change in operations: items that add to net income (added revenue and/or reduced expenses) and items that reduce net income (reduced revenues and/ or added expenses). The net effect on farm income can be calculated once the effects of all changes have been included. Big Horn County Farmers Look to Next Season Like every crop and livestock producer in Wyoming, Big Horn County producers Ken and Rich Riff are pondering the effects of drought on their coming production season. The brothers farm several hundred acres of sugar beets, dry beans, and other irrigated row crops. A detailed profile of the Riffs’ operation and risk management is available at RightRisk.org under the Resources link, then click on Risk Management Profiles. The Riffs are expecting reduced irrigation water supplies due to drought and are trying to maximize their soil moisture for sugar Open Saturdays 8:30 AM to 1:00 PM beet production.

Cold weather affecting spring-born calves
By NDSU Extension Service The recent below-normal temperatures in eastern North Dakota could have negative impacts on this spring’s calf crop into the fall weaning season, North Dakota State University (NDSU) Extension Service livestock specialists warn. This year, producers who calve in large pasture settings are having newborn calves born in conditions that are 10 to 20 degrees colder than normal. “Newborn calves leave the safe and uniform temperature of their dam’s uterine environment and enter the outside world with temperatures and weather not always conducive to life,” says Gerald Stokka, NDSU Extension’s livestock stewardship specialist. “Exceptional animal husbandry skills are necessary to provide the care needed for newborn calves to deal with the cold spring calving season and to prevent health problems later on.” Neonatal calves have two internal mechanisms to help them cope with cold weather. First, calves are able to shiver, which is the involuntary muscle movements designed to increase warmth by expending energy. The second mechanism is the nonshivering response, which allows fat to be used to increase the calves’ metabolic rate by two to four times their resting rate. “This is a special kind of fat and differs from white fat in that this brown fat is readily available to the newborn to provide energy to cope with the sudden change in the calf’s environment,” Stokka says. “Calves born to properly fed dams come equipped with this remarkable cold-coping mechanism.” The newborn calf’s ability to cope with cold weather means the calf will rise quickly after birth and find its food and life source through the dam’s colostrum. Colostrum is a form of milk that mammals produce in late pregnancy. It contains energy, protein, fat and vitamins, plus antibodies to protect newborns against disease until their own immune system is totally functional. In colder temperatures, calves born without some environmental protection or born to mothers with poor-quality colostrum will be at greater risk for infection from diseasecausing pathogens, NDSU Extension veterinarian Charlie Stoltenow cautions. These may be pathogens that cause calf scours or are associated with respiratory disease. “In either case, the pathogens are simply taking advantage of a calf with a compromised immune status,” Stoltenow adds. Here are ways producers can minimize the risk of disease: • Provide extra bedding for pregnant cows. • Watch for calves that are cold and slow to get up. Cows that are delivering calves usually leave the herd and find secluded locations in which to deliver their newborn. • Provide cold calves with some type of additional heat. This may mean placing the calf in a “hot” box or moving it to a warmer, out-of-the-wind environment for a few hours. • Give calves suffering from severe hypothermia a warmwater bath. Dry heat may not work well enough to warm calves in this condition. For more information on calf warming, visit http://tinyurl.com/calfwarming. • Ensure that calves receive adequate colostrum because supplemental heat alone will not warm the newborns. The dam’s colostrum is optimal. The next best options are frozen, stored colostrum or one of the commercial colostrum substitutes, according to Stokka. The commercial colostrum substitutes need to contain a minimum of 100 grams of immunoglobulin G (IgG) per packet. IgG is an antibody absorbed through the calf’s small intestine and provides protection against disease-causing pathogens. Cold-stressed, immune-compromised calves also may require a little extra care with vaccination protocols. In populations of immune-compromised calves, a significant number of them may not be responding adequately to vaccination procedures. “Booster doses - that is, second and third doses given within a defined time frame - may be more important this year to prevent respiratory disease during the summer and fall weaning season,” Stoltenow says. Calf vaccination research at NDSU’s Central Grasslands Research Extension Center indicates that vaccine doses given 90 days following the initial spring turnout dose acts as a booster to increase protection against the bovine respiratory syncytial virus and Mannheimia hemolytica respiratory pathogens.
RLND seeking participants for 6th class
By NDSU Extension Service If you want to improve your organization, business, farm or ranch operation, or community, the North Dakota State University (NDSU) Extension Service’s Rural Leadership North Dakota (RLND) program can help. Rural Leadership North Dakota is looking for participants for its next class, which begins in November. RLND is an 18-month leadership development program that develops leaders for North Dakota’s future. The program includes in-state seminars with experts; tours of agricultural and community businesses; out-of-state trips (Washington, D.C., and Minneapolis in 2014) to meet with agricultural, business and government leaders; and a trip to another country (destination to be determined) to learn about international agricultural and community issues. Participants learn leadership skills, such as thinking critically and creatively, communicating effectively and managing conflict. They also learn about agricultural and rural policy, the agricultural economy and future trends that could affect North Dakota, finding innovative ways to fund local and regional development projects, marketing, civic engagement, the value of coalitions and partnerships, industry and community advocacy, and how to work with the state Legislature. “RLND is designed for men and women who want to strengthen their leadership skills and learn more about North Dakota, the U.S. and the world,” says Marie Hvidsten, RLND program director. “It helps participants create a network of contacts and resources they can continue to tap into for ideas, answers and support long after they graduate from the program.” Participants also find a way to use the skills they’ve learned to improve their operation, business, organization, community or region. For example, two members of the RLND class of 2011-13 are working on building day-care centers for their communities. Day-care centers are a need for many North Dakota communities. Another class member is working on updating his community’s website. A third class member is working with tribal youth on livestock projects and establishing a foundation for leadership training for youth. The tuition for the RLND program is $3,750. That covers all meals, hotels and travel expenses such as buses during in-state seminars and airfare to out-of-state seminars. Participants are responsible for their travel costs to in-state seminars and points of departure for out-of-state seminars. The deadline to apply to join the class of 2013-15 is June 15. Applicants must have been a state resident for at least a year and be able to attend all of the seminars. For more information, or to register or nominate someone for the class, visit RLND’s website at http://www.ag.ndsu. edu/rlnd, send an e-mail to ndsu.ruralleadership@ndsu.edu or call (701) 231-5803. Ninety-four people from 57 communities in 36 counties have participated in RLND since it began in November 2003.
Itinerary requirements for 6-month equine passports
The Montana Department of Livestock says it will be more stringently enforcing requirements for six-month equine travel passports. Those rules include: Six-month passports cannot be used for sale of horses, breeding or stays of longer than 90 days. Lifetime brand inspections are required for six-month passports. A preliminary itinerary must be submitted to the state veterinarian’s office prior to traveling. A post-season travel itinerary must be submitted within 10 days of the passport’s expiration to be eligible for a passport in 2014. State Veterinarian Dr. Marty Zaluski said the decision to enforce the rules was made after states that participate in the six-month passport program determined there was inadequate compliance with itinerary requirements. “In short, we had horses moving around with no record of where they were going or where they had been,” Zaluski said. “Their travel and exposure history is essential in the case of a disease outbreak or other animal health emergency.” The recent cases of EHV-1 in Montana, and larger outbreaks such as those experienced in Utah, Florida and other states, highlights the need for pertinent travel documentation, he added.

Can’t you just let me in on your secret?” “Well, okay but you have to promise not to tell anyone. I was really struggling, but then I heard on a talk show that you have to stop eating late at night, so now I just take my teeth out at 7:00. Works like a charm!”

Quinoa’s potential to increase options for regional farmers and locavores, as well as to address global food security, lies in its adaptability to marginal growing conditions. “Compared to other crops, quinoa has excellent drought and salinity tolerance,” Murphy said. “Quinoa can adapt to many environmental and climatic conditions. It thrives in a wide range of soil pH and tolerates light frost and late rains.” A needed improvement is heat tolerance. So far, Murphy’s trials indicate that varieties bred from Chilean germplasm are best adapted to high maximum temperatures in the Pacific Northwest.

Did you forget something?
Samantha decided that her grown children were old enough to write thankyou notes for the gifts they received without being reminded by her. As a result, an entire year went by without Grandfather receiving one single thank-you letter for the very generous checks he had included in his cards for his grandchildren’s special occasions. However, the following year, things changed dramatically. “All my grandkids came over in person to thank me,” Gramps declared to his best friend. “How did you manage that?” questioned the friend. “Oh, it was simple. This year I ‘forgot’ to sign their checks.”
Identifying Johne’s disease with accuracy
By Sandra Avant, Agricultural Research Service Detecting the costly, contagious Johne’s disease in cattle is now easier, thanks to U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) scientists. Johne’s disease, also known as Paratuberculosis, is estimated to cost the U.S. dairy industry more than $220 million each year. It also affects sheep, goats, deer and other animals, causing diarrhea, reduced feed intake, weight loss and sometimes death. Microbiologist John Bannantine and his colleagues at the Agricultural Research Service (ARS) National Animal Disease Center (NADC) in Ames, Iowa, discovered an antibody that’s 100 percent specific in detecting Johne’s disease. This is the first time a specific antibody that binds only to Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis (MAP), the pathogen that causes the disease, has been discovered. A patent has been awarded to scientists for the antibody, which could greatly benefit the improvement of diagnostic tests that confirm the presence of MAP. Previous efforts to detect Johne’s disease were hindered because all antibodies used to identify MAP strains also reacted to environmental mycobacteria, according to Bannantine, who works in NADC’s Infectious Bacterial Diseases Research Unit. Some of those antibodies also reacted to the disease pathogen responsible for bovine tuberculosis (TB) and caused false-positive results. Other research, conducted by NADC microbiologist Judy Stabel, focused on ensuring that Johne’s disease vaccines do not cross-react with tests for bovine TB, a disease problem in states where wild deer infect cattle. Stabel and her team vaccinated calves with an effective commercial Johne’s vaccine to test cross reactivity with TB tests. They took blood samples for a year and then measured immune and serological responses of calves using novel TB tests. Scientists found no cross reactivity with the TB serology tests, demonstrating that animals could be vaccinated against Johne’s disease without interfering with bovine TB testing. Similar results were found with the skin test used to detect TB in cattle.

Calf BRD Risk - Predictive Factors and Effects Bovine Respiratory Disease (BRD) continues to be the most significant health problem facing the feeding industry. BRD accounts for well over 50% of all cattle treated for sickness with reported average incidence rates in groups of calves at 14% (Loneragan, 2001). Several studies have documented the economic impacts of disease on the profit outcomes of calves. Direct costs attributable to BRD include death losses, treatment and labor costs, and prevention costs. BRD has been shown to impact growth performance and feed efficiency, days on feed, carcass merit and market value. The bottom-line of all studies indicates that BRD can decrease the returns of individual cattle from $50 to $250.

Water challenges, strategies for the future of ranching
By B. Lynn Gordon, SDSU Extension Cow/Calf Field Specialist The drought of 2012 in the Midwest brought the issue of water to the forefront for agricultural producers. However, a group of producers and industry advisors working with the King Ranch® Institute, Kingsville, Texas, which is associated with Texas A&M University, have been studying the issue of water and recently completed a white paper: ‘Agricultural Water: Protecting the Future of Our Nation’. Paul Genho, an advisory member of the management council at the King Ranch® Institute was one of the presenters at the 20th Anniversary of Cattlemen’s College held in conjunction with the 2013 National Cattlemen’s Beef Association Convention and Trade Show, Tampa, Florida, February 6 -9. Genho’s presentation focused on the challenges and strategies of water management for ranches. Genho addressed three main issues in regard to water and agriculture: 1. Water Supply. Will there be enough for the future? The key issue is agriculture is being told to increase production by 70% over the next 50 years, according to a United Nations Report, but at the same time the agricultural industry has a deteriorating infrastructure, a lack of research is being conducted and water is being transferred from agriculture for use in environmental purposes. This is creating a perfect storm for water supply. 2. Water Management. There are not policies and procedures in place, that work in favor of agriculture and agriculture is often not at the table when the discussions of water management and usage are taking place. 3. Legislative Regulator Approach. Water rights are being taken away and water laws are being passed at a time when these issues are more and more critical. The group of agricultural producers wrote the white paper on water because they believe water is the issue of the decade — if not decades and so does the United Nations, explained Genho. During the drought, we got a closer look at what really can happen in the future because of the challenges and oversight of how important the issue of water is to the nation and the world. Genho believes producers need to work to be better advocates of water supply, water laws and foolish policy that can weaken the position of agriculture. However, unfortunately those that are most concerned about water and its impact on agriculture are the 1-2% of producers in production agriculture. The main purpose of developing the white paper was so producers, county farm bureau organizations, cattlemen’s organizations, etc., can share the information in the research paper with legislative members and policy makers and to spread the word and understanding of what water means to agriculture. For example, Genho stated, South Dakota producers like other producers nationwide need to become advocates of water issues and it is critical that if they don’t become advocates of water issues and carry the issue of no one else will. The white paper can be found on the King Ranch® Institute Ranch Management (KRIRM) website (http://krirm.tamuk. edu).

Mid- to late-season nitrogen fertilizer can increase yield, protein in wheat crops By Clain Jones, MSU Extension Soil Fertility Specialist
Applying all the nitrogen fertilizer required for wheat at one time can be risky. In irrigated systems, too much nitrogen early in the growing season can produce excess tillers, lead to lodging, and reduce yields. In dryland systems, nitrogen fertilizer may not get fully used for plant growth especially in dry years. In both dryland and irrigated systems, large, one-time applications have a high chance to be lost to groundwater from leaching or to the air as a gas. This is a financial loss to the producer and potentially detrimental to water and air quality. Applying pre-plant nitrogen levels based on conservative yield goals is an alternative, especially in dry years. This early nitrogen can be supplemented with mid-to late-season nitrogen to increase grain yield and protein if production potential increases during the season. By splitting nitrogen application, a producer can better match nitrogen rates to estimated yield potentials based on precipitation to date. If the weather is wet, then fertilizer amount and timing decisions should be based on whether the goal is a yield or protein increase. If the weather has been dry, then a second application may not be advisable. “Timing of in-season nitrogen application should be based on plant growth stage rather than a particular date,” said Clain Jones, Extension soil fertility specialist in the Department of Land Resources and Environmental Sciences at Montana State University. In dryland production, additional nitrogen for yield should be applied by early- to mid-tillering, to ensure yield is not hurt. This is particularly important with foliar application for spring wheat. By the time spring wheat approaches the boot stage, weather conditions are such that leaf burn becomes a risk sufficient to hurt yields. Because only about 10 percent of foliar applied nitrogen is taken up by leaves, it is important to follow application with at least
half-inch of water to incorporate the nitrogen into the soil. Incorporation is important for soil-applied nitrogen as well, which is possible in irrigated systems, and sometimes doubtful in dryland systems. Yield from irrigated fields may increase with nitrogen applied as late as flowering. Jones cautioned that although yield may improve with additional nitrogen applied at heading, nitrogen applied this late in the growing season generally cannot compensate for the yield deficit due to early under-fertilization. Leaf burn increases as the nitrogen rate increases. The maximum suggested rate is 30 pounds nitrogen per acre to minimize yield reduction due to leaf burn. Liquid urea tends to produce less leaf burn than urea-ammonium nitrate (UAN) and therefore can benefit yield more. Leaf damage increases with the inclusion of sulfur, the addition of Agrotain® to urea, or the addition of a surfactant to UAN solution with herbicide when nitrogen rate is greater than 20 pounds nitrogen per acre. Using streamer bars to minimize direct leaf contact during application can substantially decrease leaf burn. Late season nitrogen to increase protein is ideally applied at flowering. “However, the ability to incorporate with rain or irrigation is more important than the exact timing at flowering,” said Jones. Leaf burn increases the later that foliar nitrogen is applied. Up to 40 percent flag leaf burn from foliar nitrogen applied around flowering may increase protein, but it can also decrease yields. If there is the risk of scab, do not irrigate within five days of flowering. The decision to apply late-season nitrogen to increase protein depends on: 1) whether it can be applied without substantially damaging the crop; and 2) if the expected protein response and discount are sufficiently high to justify the cost of fertilizer and application.

The last Great Falls bowhunter education classroom course this year will take place in May. Registration is occurring now online at the Fish, Wildlife and Parks web site. There will also be a sign-up at FWP for those who do not have access to a computer. The course will be 6-9 p.m., May 14 and 16, and 8 a.m. to 3 p.m., May 18. A field exercise will follow on May 18. Classes will be held at Paris Gibson School. To register online go to the FWP website, http://fwp. mt.gov, and follow the links to Education and Bowhunter Education. Then go to May 14 and select one of three classrooms at Paris Gibson School. For those without a computer, registration will take place 6-8 p.m., May 7, at FWP, 4600 Giant Springs Road. Every student must pick up and read the bowhunter education manual before the first class. Manuals are available at FWP. Prospective bowhunters, ages 12 to 17, must take both a hunter and bowhunter education course before they can buy an archery license. All first time bowhunters regardless of age must complete a bowhunter education course. State law says anyone buying an archery license must show either a previous year’s archery license or a certificate of completion from a bowhunter education course. For more information on this or any other course in north central Montana contact the FWP office in Great Falls, 454-5840.

UNL Extension irrigation and soils courses now online
By University of Nebraska-Lincoln IANR University of Nebraska-Lincoln (UNL) Extension provides two online short courses on irrigation and soils at marketplace.unl.edu. The courses combine the convenience and flexibility of online learning with the opportunity to obtain continuing education unit (CEU) credits. UNL Extension educator Chuck Burr said the virtual learning environment is especially suited for those whose schedules or location may prevent them from attending traditional extension training opportunities. The modules are intended for crop consultants, agency personnel, crop producers and others interested in improving their soil science or soil fertility management and irrigation management skills. “UNL Extension still offers programs for those who prefer traditional, classroom-style training,” Burr said. “However, the new online course on irrigation management allows participants to learn at the click of a mouse.” UNL Extension educator Keith Glewen added, “The courses are designed to assist online learners in acquiring new knowledge. This in turn can result in management decisions which have a positive impact on financial and environmental outcomes.” The soils course aims to expand the participant’s knowledge of soil science, including the origins, physical properties and chemical properties of soil. Understanding this information benefits those making management decisions related to soil fertility and crop production. This in turn can improve the efficiency of fertilizer applications, reduce nutrient loss and improve crop yields. The irrigation management course will help increase awareness and understanding of irrigation management concepts. Agricultural water users can optimize water use efficiency and protect the quality of water resources by applying basic information about irrigation systems, crop water use and management practices. Reducing irrigation application amounts and increasing uniformity of application leads to reduced deep percolation and runoff. The result can be reduced irrigation costs, increased efficiency, increased yields and reduced surface and groundwater contamination. Formal admission to UNL is not required to enroll in the short courses. Register online at marketplace.unl.edu/extension/registration. The registration fee for each course is $50. CEU credit is available for an additional $10 per credit with a maximum of 13 credits per course. Contact Burr at chuck.burr@unl.edu for details on the irrigation short course and Glewen at kglewen1@unl.edu for information on the soils short course. ##### Butch Cassidy’s real name was Robert LeRoy Parker.

It is a challenge that really changes how the beef industry functions, is perceived and the industry eventually will evolve. Who is going to do the work? That is the challenge. In the past, the cow-calf business was a family business, so the family did the work. There was a learning curve, but the younger members of the family watched mom, dad, grandma and grandpa slowly, but methodically, do the day’s chores without missing a beat. A problem cow or calf would be checked and rechecked. Sometimes the checks happened so fast that one did not know they were taking place, but the older family members still had the ability or look to know what and when things needed to be done. Have you ever experienced a day when everyone started to show up all of a sudden because they just knew they were needed? The help always was appreciated and the right timing was there. It was almost eerie because they knew when the time was right. Today, that still may be true for many operations. However, in reality, many operations are managed outside the family, so the elders are not there. The difference is subtle but real. May you find all your ear tags.

Swallows evolving shorter wing lengths
By University of Nebraska-Lincoln IANR It’s not the wind beneath their wings but rather the SUVs there that have inspired cliff swallows to take flight in their recent evolution. A 30-year study by the University of Nebraska-Lincoln’s (UNL) Mary Bomberger Brown and colleagues found that cliff swallows in southwest Nebraska have adjusted to the dangers of cars around their habitat by developing shorter wing lengths, a fact that makes them less likely to become road kill. The study was outlined in a recent article in Current Biology by Brown and co-author Charles R. Brown of the University of Tulsa in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Cliff swallows often nest under bridges and overpasses, which makes them susceptible to being killed by passing cars. Bomberger Brown’s research shows that such road kills have decreased over the past 30 years, as the birds’ wing lengths have shortened. “Evolution is an ongoing process,” said Bomberger Brown, a research assistant professor in UNL’s School of Natural Resources. “Things like roads and SUVs have all become part of nature or ‘the wild’; they exert selection pressures in ways we don’t usually think about.” Bomberger Brown’s study, one of the longest continuous evolutionary studies ever, focuses on a highly social bird species. “We started watching swallows at about the same time as they discovered bridges,” Bomberger Brown said. “It was like catching them at the discovery of the wheel.” Initially interested in the social behaviors of the cliff swallow, Bomberger Brown’s research developed into a broader study of the species. “We began by banding the birds to track them,” she said. “Every year, we’d go back to check on them. When we saw a road kill, we’d pull over to see if it was one of our birds.” Even if it wasn’t, the researchers collected data about the birds’ physical characteristics. It was this data that developed into the findings announced in Current Biology. Bomberger Brown and Brown noticed that the birds found on the side of the road disproportionately possessed longer wings, a quality that made the birds less aerodynamic compared with their shorter-winged counterparts. “It’s like the difference between a U2 spy plane and a fighter jet,” Bomberger Brown said. “Shorter wings make for easier mobility,” which allows birds to fly upward and pivot away from oncoming traffic. The researchers were able to eliminate other potential causes for the results, noting especially that bird populations increased even as road kills decreased. Additionally, studying the types of automobiles on the road – specifically the increase in SUVs, with their higher front-end surface area – they found that the decrease in mortality could not likely be linked to the types of vehicles on the road. The most likely cause – and statistically significant correlation – appeared to be wing lengths. “It’s a lesson in how to collect data,” said Bomberger Brown. “We didn’t set out to study this question, but we collected as much data as possible. In the end, the data told us what we should notice.” The research also benefited from fortuitous historical moments. In 1996, about mid-way through the study, a prolonged period of rain and snow in the area prevented the birds from feeding for several days in a row. Swallows carry enough fat reserves on their bodies to sustain them for about four days. By the fifth day, about half the birds starved to death. “It was a bad day,” said Bomberger Brown. “But it was a fast burst of evolutionary change. We could study the qualities of the birds who died and the qualities of the birds who survived.” The findings from that experience only further solidified the trend already visible in the data: birds with short wings, sturdy bodies and symmetrical physiques could navigate and move with more efficiency. Those that possessed longer, more air-resistant wings and fragile or asymmetrical frames suffered the most from the prolonged bad weather. The trend that the road kill data showed – specifically regarding the detriments of long wings – overlapped with the fast-burst evolutionary change. “We were able to keep track of the group of birds who survived for 10 more years. They consistently did better among the population demographics.” The results are significant among scientists interested in continued on page A46

animal adaptation, especially with regard to human-nature interactions. The fact that cars placed natural selection pressure on the birds meant that birds with better-equipped physiques could adapt to their surroundings. Bomberger Brown said these birds now face increasing selection pressures to adapt to a changing climate, a phenomenon that scientists consistently link to human activity. “We have already seen how weather extremes affect the birds,” Bomberger Brown said. “Our data shows that our cars have had an effect on birds. Now we’ll see what the climate we’ve created will do.” Perhaps that is where Bomberger Brown’s studies will go next. When asked, she smiled and replied she’s not sure. “The birds will tell us what’s next.” To read Bomberger Brown’s findings, check out Current Biology’s article, found at http://www.cell.com/currentbiology/fulltext/S0960-9822(13)00194-2.

Steve Daines Heritage Act listening session
Over 200 people walked thought the doors of the Choteau Pavilion to either listen and learn or voice their opinions on the Rocky Mountain Front Heritage Act on April 3, 2013. It is not the first time people have gathered to discuss the bill that Baucus introduced in 2011. The bill has changed some but still seeks to hold the land of the Rocky Mountain Front in some time capsule that keeps it from change, good or bad. Jim Samond, whose family has been on the Ear Mountain Ranch out of Choteau since the 1860’s declares “I think this is all a bunch of Bull Sh--! If Ranchers hadn’t taken care of this land it wouldn’t be in this good condition today. “Jim had come to hear his son Mark Samond speak in opposition of the Heritage act. Mark expressed his concern for the grazing allotments on the Forest Service lands and how over regulation can cause it to become unusable for the cattle rancher. Ranchers depend on allotment for their herd, which means their income. Without income they can’t live in the community. The community loses a piece of it history. “Perhaps people in favor of this Act should take notice of how well our landscape functions without conservation management areas and new Wilderness Designations and apply some of our values to their lands instead of trying to impose their values on us.” Samond reminds Representative Daines and the crowd. Larry Bonderud, Mayor of Shelby, representing himself, supported the Heritage Act. Bonderud explained that he had originally opposed the Heritage Act, but after speaking with the Backcountry Horsemen had changed his mind. Bonderud now sees the Rocky Mountain Heritage Act as the model for future Wilderness Bill, state that more will come. Bonderud believes that this bill shows good compromise by persevering the land and still allowing multiple uses and assurances to agriculture. Three different Backcountry Horsemen Groups were there to testify for the bill also. Butch Gillispie, a rancher in the Kevin area and Vice President of the Marias River Livestock Association testified against the Heritage Act. “In order to save the Rocky Mountain Front we first need to save the Country. As independent operators we need to be financial responsible, it is the Government’s turn to be responsible. We need to use and manage our renewable resources. Mining and forests, that is where our wealth comes from.” Daines reassured the crowed that he was listening with an open mind. He stated at the end that management of our National Forest was a shame. He spoke of how driving though Montana he saw the green which changed to beetle kill orange and then to grey. The grey is standing dead. Many people assume it is forest fires that have destroyed the trees but it is lack of management.

Call Curt, 406-590-3291, Valier, MT By NDSU Extension Service Progress continues on a project to develop a new industrial crop in North Dakota called energy beets, which are sugar beets bred for the biofuel market and industrial purposes, such as high-value chemicals. That progress includes research that shows how energy beets can be grown with great success outside of the traditional production area of the Red River Valley, according to Blaine Schatz, North Dakota State University (NDSU) Carrington Research Extension Center director and member of the research team. “Our demonstration and yield trial plots are showing how energy beets can produce high yields in many different soil types and conditions,” Schatz says. “That includes the FOR ALL YOUR WATER MANAGEMENT NEEDS GIVE US A CALL! extremely dry conditions that North Dakota experienced in 2012.

This summer, trials will be held in the same 11 locations, plus at a dryland plot in the Cando area. 151 N. Highland Ave., Moore, MT 59464 Along with tolerating dry soils, energy beets also can help farmers by improving soil health. (406) 374-2463 email: mesoo@mtintouch.net “Farmers who raise energy beets may see improved soil health because the tap root penetrates as deep as 6 feet to use nutrients, nitrogen and water that most other crops LEONARD MATTESON don’t reach,” Schatz says. “Energy beets also improve internal soil drainage and are relatively tolerant to alkaline (saline) soils. Growers who add energy beets into a fouryear rotation could expect another profitable income opportunity.” The energy beet project and research is a partnership between Fargo-based Green Vision Group (GVG) and Iowa-based Heartland Renewable Energy. “The project is in its final research phase, which will contribute to future commercialization efforts,” says Maynard Helgaas, GVG president. “Commercialization may begin in 2014 or 2015 and be followed by a series of up to 16 plants across the state. These plants could produce sugar for industrial purposes or produce advanced biofuel. Each plant could create 23 jobs and require 30,000 acres of energy beets for feedstock.” Other energy beet research by NDSU focuses on feedstock storage methods that will enable biofuel processing throughout the year and frontend processing methods that will maximize sugar yields and minimize costs. The NDSU trial plot research is sponsored by Betaseed and Syngenta-Hilleshog. Additional project funding is provided by the North Dakota Renewable Energy Council, North Dakota Agricultural Products Utilization Commission, private companies and many communities.

Pig brain models provide insights into development
By University of Illinois A mutual curiosity about patterns of growth and development in pig brains has brought two University of Illinois research groups together. Animal scientists Rod Johnson and Ryan Dilger have developed a model of the pig brain that they plan to use to answer important questions about human brain development. “It is important to characterize the normal brain growth trajectory from the neonatal period to sexual maturity,” said Johnson. “Until we know how the brain grows, we don’t know what is going to change,” added Dilger. In cooperation with the Beckman Institute, they performed MRI scans on the brains of 16 piglets, starting at the age of 2 weeks, then at 4 weeks, and then at 4-week intervals up to 24 weeks. “We have world-class people at the Beckman Institute who are pushing and developing the next generation of neuroimaging technology, so we’re able to connect with them and take advantage of their expertise,” said Johnson. Matt Conrad, a student in Johnson’s lab, used threedimensional visualization software on over 200 images to manually segment each region on three planes. The software put the information together into a three-dimensional image of the pig brain. This is used to determine the volume of the different structures. When the piglets were at Beckman for their imaging sessions, Dilger performed other tests, including diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), which shows how neural tracks develop, allowing the exploration of brain complexity and of how neurons form. It was also possible to measure neurochemicals, including creatine and acetylcholine, in the brain, which provides a unique insight into brain metabolism. Deformable pig brain atlas The end result of this work is what they call the deformable pig brain atlas. “We are taking 16 pigs and averaging them, so it’s more representative of all pigs,” said Dilger. “You can then apply it to any individual pig to see how it’s different.” “It’s called a deformable brain atlas because the software takes information from an individual and deforms it until it fits the template, and then you know how much it had to be deformed to fit,” Johnson explained. “So from that, you can tell whether a brain region is larger or smaller compared to the average.” Johnson and Dilger said that the goal is to develop a tool for pigs that is equivalent to what is available for the mouse brain and make it publicly available. But they don’t want to stop with tool development. “We want to use this to address important questions,” Johnson said. One research direction being pursued in Johnson’s lab is to induce viral pneumonia in piglets at the point in the postnatal period when the brain is undergoing massive growth to see how it alters brain growth and development. They are also looking at effects of prenatal infections in the mother to see if that alters the trajectory of normal brain growth in the offspring. The risk for behavioral disorders and reduced stress resilience is increased by pre- and post-natal infection, but the developmental origins are poorly understood. Dilger’s group is interested in the effects of early-life nutrition on the brain. They are looking at the effects of specific fatty acids as primary structural components of the human brain and cerebral cortex, and at choline, a nutrient that is important for DNA production and normal functioning of neurons. “Choline deficiency has been tied to cognitive deficits in the mouse and human, and we’re developing a pig model to study the direct effects choline deficiency has on brain structure and function,” Dilger said. “Many women of childbearing age may not be receiving enough choline in their diets, and recent evidence suggests this may ultimately affect learning and memory ability in their children. Luckily, choline can be found in common foods, especially eggs and meat products, including bacon.” More information about the model is available in “Brain growth of the domestic pig (Sus scrofa) from 2 to 24 weeks of age: a longitudinal MRI study,” by M.S Conrad, R.N. Dilger, and R.W. Johnson, which was recently published in Developmental Neuroscience. It is available online at http:// www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22777003. ##### Sign in a restaurant window: Help Wanted. Blessed is he that waiteth.

Wheat leaders press need for research funding
By Brittney Fund, US Wheat Communications Intern Wheat research, both basic and applied, for USDA’s Agricultural Research Service is fundamental to the ability of U.S. farmers (ARS), 12 percent of the ARS budget has to produce a reliable supply of high quality been cut since 2010, including $180 million wheat every year. That is why, hours after alone in fiscal year 2011. President Obama released his proposed Public funding for research is especially budget for fiscal year 2014, nearly 30 important to the wheat industry. Nearly 80 stakeholders from all over the United States percent of U.S. wheat acreage is planted began visiting the offices of their federal with varieties developed in public research policy makers to educate them on the need programs. Without research like this in for an increase in the Agricultural Research motion, challenges from diseases, pests, Service (ARS) budget. The visits took place climatic conditions and more will go unas part of an annual wheat research “fly-in” checked. sponsored by the National Association of “The problems are now, and the solutions Wheat Growers (NAWG) and the National are as pressing on wheat scientists as ever Wheat Improvement Committee (NWIC). before,” said Dr. Brett Carver, the head of Industry leaders shared varying messages the wheat improvement team at Oklahoma with their representatives, but all emphaState University and the chairman of NWIC. sized the need for consistent funding for “The U.S. wheat research community has wheat research. Although the President’s performed well at keeping up; catching up proposed budget included a $172 million inis an entirely different game, but one we are crease – $1.124 billion total – in the budget increasingly having to play.”
Despite funding challenges, public wheat researchers are working hard to develop those solutions for U.S. growers. For example, researchers at the University of California-Davis, with support from USDA, have identified and deployed a gene for stripe rust resistance in new varieties for the state. Additionally, researchers at Washington State University are working to develop heat tolerant wheat varieties. Private investment in wheat research is also becoming increasingly active and important, including several private collaborations with public researchers at universities. Both public and private wheat research are vital to maintaining the strong research infrastructure in the United States that helps keep U.S. wheat competitive worldwide. Furthermore, climatic conditions and disease susceptibility are often specific to wheat class and geography — making regional USDA research facilities and public university breeding programs even more important. Located close to growers, these programs have the ability to focus their resources on regional issues. In addition to federal funding, state check off programs dedicate $12 million each year for wheat research. While the President’s requested budget is good news for wheat research, the U.S. Congress ultimately decides the final budget. However, with the continued help of wheat researchers to fight diseases and pests, address climatic challenges, increase yields and improve wheat quality, the world wheat market can be certain that the U.S. wheat store will remain open with a reliable supply of high quality wheat. ##### At Jonah’s age, “Texas Hold ‘Em” is a pair of suspenders he got in El Paso.

The Pearly Gates
After a long illness, a woman died and arrived at the gates of heaven. While she was waiting for Saint Peter to greet her, she peeked through the gates themselves. She saw a beautiful banquet table. Sitting all around were her parents and all the other people she had loved and who had died before her. They saw her and began calling greetings to her. When Saint Peter came by, the woman said to him, “This is such a wonderful place! How do I get in?” “You have to spell a word,” Saint Peter told her. “Which word?” the woman asked. “Love.” The woman correctly spelled “love,” and Saint Peter welcomed her into heaven. Some time later, Saint Peter came to the woman and asked her to watch the gates of heaven for him. While she was guarding them, her husband arrived. “I’m surprised to see you,” the woman said. “How have you been?” “Oh, I’ve been doing pretty well since you died,” her husband told her. “I married the beautiful young nurse who took care of you while you were ill. And then I won the lottery. I sold the little house you and I lived in and bought a big mansion. My wife and I traveled all around the world. We were on vacation, and today I went skiing. I fell and hit my head, and here I am. How do I get in?” “You have to spell a word,” the woman told him. “Which word?” her husband asked. “Antediluvian.”

It would be helpful to guide them toward separating the evil of the event from the value of people. Adolescents easily could take the emotions of the event as a call to paint entire groups as enemies or evil. They may be able to understand that the concerns of groups may be legitimate but that using violence, whether it is a fist, bomb or another weapon, is never the best way to deal with frustration or anger. • Young Adults - While people in this age group often feel invulnerable, events this traumatic and close to home may shake their certainty. Young adults will be more knowledgeable than children about the nature of the attacks, and the consequences and their fears will be more realistic. Their methods of coping with those fears may not be. Young adults tend to focus on the cause and may want to take some kind of action. Older adults can help them keep this in perspective and guide them to positive outlets such as collecting money for victims, or attending a vigil or memorial service.

Lilac sucker stems
By Ron Smith, Horticulturist, NDSU Extension Service Q: My lilac tree is not flowering as much as it used to. My neighbor tells me I need to cut out the sucker stems around the tree to make it blossom more. Is this the right move? A: That would be a good start. Give it a shot and see if the blooming improves next spring. Keep in mind that pruning the main stems at this time of year will remove the potential flowering parts of the plant. If needed or desired, lilac pruning should be done shortly after the plants have finished blooming. For answers to general horticultural questions, go to http:// www.ag.ndsu.edu/horticulture.

Elk numbers in north central Montana continue to rise, according to recent winter surveys by Fish, Wildlife and Parks wildlife biologists. “The trend surveys completed so far show increasing numbers of elk in Region 4,” says Graham Taylor, FWP regional wildlife manager. One reason so many animals were counted this year, Taylor says, was the counting conditions. “In any year we are able to observe during the winter from 70 to 90 percent of the elk based on conditions such as ground cover, weather, flying time and airplane availability,” Taylor says. “This year we were in the upper end of that scale.” For example, in the Highwood Mountains, elk hunting district 447, the local wildlife biologist observed 1,512 elk. FWP’s objective for that district is 750. Towards the southern end of the Rocky Mountain Front, in hunting districts 421 and 423, 976 elk were counted, while the objective is 500. The trend was similar from the Sweetgrass Hills along the Canadian border to the Little Belt Mountains near Great Falls and the Snowies south of Lewistown. For hunters that means elk are available where accessible. To that end, FWP Region 4 has a liberal harvest package for hunters. Through most of the region, hunters are able to take two elk: one animal on a general elk A license and a second antlerless elk on a B license, which is valid on private and state land. “We need more elk harvested,” Taylor says.

Gummy Worms Candy 1 box (9 Oz. - 12 Rolls) fruit roll-ups Spray a 17.25 x 11.5 inch large rimmed cookie sheet with nonstick cooking spray and set aside. In a large microwave safe bowl, combine butter and mini-marshmallows. Microwave on high for 2 minutes, stir and cook for an additional 1 minute or until marshmallows are melted and mixture is smooth when stirred. Add the Rice Krispies Cereal and mix well. Pour mixture onto prepared cookie sheet and press into an even layer using a buttered spatula or waxed paper. Holding the cookie sheet horizontally and using a sharp knife, vertically divide pressed mixture into three even sections. Remove one section and place horizontally on a work surface.

##### An elderly woman was taking her turn driving during a vacation with her husband, when she got pulled over by a highway patrol officer. “Ma’am, did you know you were speeding?” The woman, hard of hearing, turned to her husband and asked, “What did he say?” The old man yelled, “He says you were speeding!” The officer asked, “May I see your license?” Again the woman asked her husband what was said, and her husband yelled back the response, “He needs to see your license!” After the woman handed over her license, the officer remarked, “I see you are from a small town in Arkansas where I dated the world’s most cantankerous woman.” The woman turned to her husband and asked, “What did he say?” The old man yelled back, “He says he thinks he knows you!”

Potential freeze damage adds to HRW concerns
With rain, ice, snow, hail and wind, weather conditions in the winter wheat belt have farmers and analysts concerned about the effect on this year’s wheat crop. While it is too early to confirm freeze damage, its impact, combined persisting drought conditions and a related lack of subsoil moisture, is causing unwelcome concern for much of the wheat in the major hard red winter (HRW) producing states. In its April 15 Crop Progress report, USDA’s National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) stated that winter wheat emergence is at 4 percent nationally, far behind 28 percent last year at this time and the five-year average of 12 percent. Crop conditions are far from ideal in the 18 states that represent 87 percent of winter wheat acreage. Overall, 31 percent of the crop is rated at poor or very poor, compared to 11 percent last year. Thirty three percent of the crop is rated fair, compared to 25 percent last year. Just 36 percent of the crop is rated good to excellent, compared to 64 percent last year. US Wheat Letter surveyed member states for a glimpse into the potential impact of weather and existing conditions of the winter wheat crop. Texas Widespread injury to the 2013 HRW crop is expected in the Texas Panhandle following freezing temperatures, but it is too soon to confirm, according to Steelee Fischbacher, communications director with the Texas Wheat Producers Board and Association. More detailed estimates will be available after wheat freeze assessment meetings conclude. Half of the winter wheat acres remain in poor to very poor conditions, mostly due to drought and insect pressure, and Fischbacher said freezing temperatures only added more stress to the crop. NASS reported 21 percent of the winter wheat is headed, compared to 49 percent last year and 28 percent on the five-year average. Wheat was rated at 50 percent very poor to poor, 33 percent fair, 16 percent good and 1 percent excellent. Oklahoma The damage from two freezes – one in late March and another in April – varies by location, according to Mike Schulte, executive director of the Oklahoma Wheat Commission. In southwest Oklahoma, 50 to 80 percent of the crop has significant damage, while wheat in central and northwest Oklahoma is doing better than expected. Drought conditions and continued poor subsoil moisture from earlier in the year have also affected the crop. Schulte said, “The stress of late freeze conditions or even hot, dry conditions will certainly have an impact on potential yield.” NASS reported that Oklahoma’s wheat crop is now 78 percent jointed, 17 percent behind this time last year and 10 points behind the five-year average. Thirty seven percent of the crop was rated very poor to poor, 38 percent fair, 23 percent good and 2 percent excellent. Kansas Kansas producers experienced rain, ice, snow and isolated hail. Bill Spiegel, director of communications at Kansas Wheat, is touring Kansas wheat fields and reports seeing some freeze damage in southern and western Kansas coupled with wheat “decimated by drought.” He said, “The drier it is, the worse the freeze damage appears,” adding that the extent of freeze damage is still being assessed. Spiegel reported that some of western Kansas could still harvest a below-average crop with timely rains, but
added that wheat in the far western third of the state may not recover at all even if they receive adequate moisture. Wheat in the central and eastern Kansas looks good overall. NASS reported that 35 percent of the Kansas wheat crop is jointed, far behind 89 percent last year and 47 percent for the five-year average. Thirty three percent of the crop is rated very poor to poor, 37 percent fair, 27 percent good and 3 percent excellent. Colorado Colorado saw cold conditions with temperatures in the teens south of Interstate 70, which coupled with no snow cover led to significant freeze damage in the wheat crop, according to Glenda Mostek, communications and marketing director with Colorado Wheat. North of I-70, wheat benefited from snowfall. Mostek said some areas were also affected by hail, which then froze around the wheat, but farmers are optimistic that the crop can recover from that damage. Mostek expects reported statewide crop conditions to deteriorate due to reports of freeze damage. NASS rated the Colorado crop at 44 percent very poor to poor, 42 percent fair, 14 percent good and 0 percent excellent. Nebraska Most of Nebraska finally received good amounts of moisture, ranging from 0.5 to 2 inches of rain in eastern Nebraska to 6 to 12 inches of snow in southwestern parts of the state and 8 to 16 inches in the Panhandle. More rain and snow is expected . Caroline Brauer, public information officer with Nebraska Wheat, reported that producers are hoping that recent moisture will help the wheat crop and, in areas where the wheat did not emerge, some farmers may consider planting spring crops now that they have received some moisture. According to NASS, 3 percent of Nebraska’s wheat is jointed, compared to last year’s 34 and 10 percent for the five-year average. The Nebraska crop was rated at 50 percent very poor to poor, 38 percent fair, 12 percent good and 0 percent excellent. South Dakota Dry planting conditions and a lack of snow cover this winter had producers in South Dakota concerned, according to Randy Englund, executive director of the South Dakota Wheat Commission. An estimated 60 percent of winter wheat has emerged in South Dakota, but Englund reports, “more than half is in rough shape” and 26 percent of winter wheat acreage is reported lost to winter kill. Although they saw snow in much of the state, the crop is not far enough along to assess potential freeze damage. Englund said, “We don’t know what we’ve got because so much of it didn’t come up this spring.” NASS rated 73 percent of South Dakota’s winter wheat as very poor to poor, 22 percent fair, 5 percent good and 0 percent excellent. Montana A blizzard dropped 4 to 20 inches of heavy, wet snow across the state, according to NASS. Steve Becker, communications coordinator with the Montana Wheat & Barley Committee, reported no freeze damage so far and, with major snow cover on the ground in many areas, emergence is just starting. NASS reported 43 percent of the wheat emerging and rated 13 percent of the crop as very poor to poor, 35 percent fair, 46 percent good and 6 percent excellent.

By NDSU Extension Service Heavy spring snowstorms have created hardships for North Dakota cattle herds and caretakers. Most ranchers have moved away from cowherds calving during the winter to avoid the cold and snow. However, this year’s late-winter weather has ranchers working day and night to keep newborn calves alive. Calves move more slowly and will take longer to first nursing when suffering from cold weather stress. It also leads to reduced nursing times and increased sickness. Acute cold weather stress brought on by cold, wet snow and wind can lead to a quick death for a newborn calf. Most ranchers have barns available to protect their cows during calving. However, the extended cold and snow has led to a shortage of barn space. “Mud and melting snow creates a wet environment that can cause calf health problems,” says Karl Hoppe, North Dakota State University (NDSU) Extension Service area livestock specialist at the Carrington Research Extension Center. “Pneumonia and scours can lead to death or poor performance, so warm, dry ground helps tremendously in maintaining healthy calves.” Using liberal amounts of bedding, such as straw, stover or hay, can help keep calves stay warm and dry. However, bedding can be expensive or not an available option because of last year’s drought. “There is a reason ranchers have their cows calve in the spring instead of winter,” Hoppe says. “Warmer weather, more daylight, less mud, green grass, vigorous calves and less health problems create a sense of enjoyment for raising cattle and enthusiasm for the industry. This year’s cold, deep snow and sick or dying calves because of the weather is depressing to many producers. Ranchers find solace in trying their best and getting moral support from family, neighbors, veterinarians and others.” “With continued high crop prices, I wouldn’t be surprised if more cattle producers exit the cattle industry,” says John Dhuyvetter, Extension area livestock specialist at the NDSU North Central Research Extension Center. “The older rancher doesn’t need the hardship of a cold, snowy spring. However, some enterprising young ranchers may see this as an opportunity to start new cowherds or expand what they have. However, that doesn’t help this year’s calf crop.” Information on managing cattle during cold weather is available at http://www.ag.ndsu.edu/pubs/ansci/beef/as1564. pdf. ##### 70 percent of Montana’s stream flow originates from melting snow. ##### 96 percent of all the water used in Montana is used for irrigation, compared to 1.8 percent used for domestic purposes.

##### Aphids are born impregnated, do not require sex to procreate, and can give birth within a week of being born themselves, making them quite prolific. In large numbers, aphids can cause serious damage to crops. ##### One of the most venemous marine creatures in the world is the box jellyfish. It can kill a human within minutes by uncoiling and firing its stinging tentacles into the victim, then pumping venom through the tentacles to paralyze him and cause cardiac arrest. ##### Many of the gases that make up Earth’s atmosphere are slowly leaking into space.

Restaurants may offer more nutrition info in the future
By Julie Garden-Robinson, Food and Nutrition Specialist, NDSU Extension Service “Did you notice the calories posted on the menu board? I didn’t know that sandwich had 1,100 calories! I picked something else,” the woman said. “Yes, that was really neat. I chose something else, too,” her companion said. I didn’t mean to be eavesdropping on their conversation, but they were sitting in the booth right behind me chatting quite loudly. My ears perk up when people talk about food and nutrition, too. I also had noticed the calories posted on the menu board. It certainly helped with side-by-side food comparisons as we stood in line waiting to place our order. In the future, restaurants with 20 or more locations may be required to post calories on their menus or menu boards, according to Food and Drug Administration (FDA) proposed rules. Many chain restaurants already provide brochures or other material with nutritional information upon request, but this ruling would place nutritional information “front and center” for consumer viewing. Most food products carry a nutrition label for comparison purposes, which can help guide consumers as they shop in grocery stores. According to the FDA, American consumers, on average, get about one-third of their calories from food eaten away from home. This new rule would allow consumers to make informed choices about their foods in restaurants. Along with the calorie information on menu boards or menus, the FDA’s proposed rule also states that restaurants would list 2,000 daily calories as a reference point while pointing out that people’s daily needs vary. In addition to restaurants, vending machine operators with 20 or more locations also may need to post nutrition information in the future unless the nutrition information on the packages is visible. If you want to weigh in on the discussion, you can learn more by visiting the FDA website at http://www.fda.gov or post comments at http://www. regulations.gov. If you go to a restaurant without nutritional information available, you can use some other strategies to reduce your calorie intake and avoid waistline expansion. • Ask your server if smaller portions are available. Sometimes you can order a half-portion. Another option is to get an extra plate and share an entree with your dining companion. • Order a takeout box right away and pack away part of your food before you begin to eat. People tend to eat what is placed in front of them, so “out of sight, out of mouth.” • Choose grilled, baked, steamed or stir-fried foods instead of fried. • To reduce calories and fat, choose marinara or other tomato-based sauces instead of cream sauces. • Order your salad dressings and other sauces on the side. Try dipping the tines of your fork into the sauce first, then into the food. • If you can’t resist dessert, share it. Ask for two or more spoons or forks. • Drink ice water instead of beverages with calories. • Eat slowly. It takes at least 20 minutes for your brain to register that your stomach is full. Talk a lot and remember your mom’s rule: Don’t talk with your mouth full. This recipe is courtesy of Washington State University Clark County Extension. Baked Mozzarella Sticks are similar to the restaurant-style appetizer but lower in fat and calories. Baked Mozzarella Sticks 1 (12-ounce) package reduced-fat mozzarella string cheese 1 egg 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning 8 Tbsp. panko (Japanese) breadcrumbs 1/2 c. prepared spaghetti sauce, warmed (optional) Position rack in upper-third of oven and preheat oven to 350 F. Line a baking sheet with foil and spray lightly with cooking spray. Remove cheese from packaging and set aside. In a small bowl, whisk egg until foamy. In a small nonstick skillet, mix Italian seasoning with breadcrumbs and place over medium heat. Cook and stir breadcrumbs until lightly browned, about five minutes. Dip one piece of string cheese in egg until coated and then into toasted breadcrumbs, coating completely. Redip the string cheese in egg and again into the breadcrumbs, if desired. Place on baking sheet. Repeat with remaining string cheese and place on baking sheet 1 1/2 inches apart. Spray string cheese lightly with cooking spray. Bake five to six minutes until heated through. Note: The cheese may melt slightly and lose shape. Simply press it back into place. Serve immediately. Pair with warmed spaghetti sauce as a dip.
Beyond the bloom
By University of Nebraska-Lincoln IANR It’s easy to enjoy the bright yellow flowers opening on the bare branches of forsythia that signal the start of spring. Yet the plant is hardly noticed for the other 50 weeks of the year because it has very limited ornamental value beyond its bloom. Unfortunately, many landscape plant choices are made based on one characteristic – the flower – despite its shortterm effect. The plant currently in bloom in the landscape is usually the top seller in the nursery. However, plants have a wide range of interesting characteristics to offer that deserve more attention. Some characteristics are as bold as a floral display, such as fall color, while others are much more subtle. These subtle traits are often much longer lasting, making them more valuable in creating an appealing full-season landscape. So when selecting plants, look for those that offer some of the following: • Unique texture. Any plant part can add interest with an unusual texture. Narrow leaves (Fine Line® buckthorn), flaky bark (river birch) and fluffy seed heads (many ornamental grasses) are just a few examples. • Summer leaf color. Unusual and bold foliage color and variegation can add interest, yet it’s easy to go overboard (and many do). Instead, use them sparingly and rely more on subtle variations of green. • Fall leaf color. The fall colors in the landscape often put on a better show than spring blooms. And it’s more than trees – many shrubs, grasses and even perennials offer an extra shot of autumn beauty. • Colorful fruits. Although the crabapple is often selected because of its flower, many varieties put on an underappreciated colorful, and longer lasting, fruit display. Other great choices for their colorful fruits are viburnums, chokeberry and hawthorn. A tangent appeal is the wildlife attracted by the fruits. • Fragrance. To those of us with a keen sense of smell, flowers that offer a pleasant fragrance greatly enhance the landscape experience. Koreanspice viburnum, sweet autumn clematis and Russian olive are a few of my favorites. • Movement. Plants that move with the breeze, like flowing grasses and rustling cottonwood leaves, add another layer of appeal to the landscape. • Winter interest. Many of the above traits can increase the attractiveness of the winter landscape. Also look for stem/bark color (red dogwood, sycamore), form (pagoda dogwood, bur oak) and seed heads (upright sedum, grasses). Plants that display attractive characteristics for several months of the year are called multi-season interest plants. These plants do more for your landscape, making it more interesting and dynamic as the seasons pass. You simply get more bang for your buck from multi-season contributors. It just makes good sense to use these instead of single season plants, especially if you have limited space to work with. Although there are many multi-season interest plants to choose from, here are a few to consider: • London planetree. A large tree with wonderful, mottled, olive green to creamy white bark that is an eye-catcher all year long. Also has large, attractive leaves and persistent globe shaped seed clusters. • Viburnum. There’s a great variety of medium to large shrubs and small trees to choose from in this group. Most have a spring flower (some very fragrant), red to blue fruit, fall leaf color and nice form. • Dogwood. Another genus of plants with many options, from shrubs to small trees. All have some or most of the following: spring flower, fruit (white, red or bluish black), fall leaf color and winter stem color. • Ornamental grasses. A wide range of textures, subtle colors and seed heads make grasses effective nearly year-round. • Sedum. Perennial groundcover and upright versions have attractive foliage in interesting colors that look good throughout the growing season. Most have late summer to fall flowers and the spent blossoms add winter interest. Flowers in the landscape are wonderful, but their effect is fleeting. The plant’s remaining characteristics (good or bad) are what you will have the rest of the year so it’s helpful to factor these traits into plant selection. ##### Some intestinal viruses can remain in the air after you defecate and flush the toilet, and can cause infection if inhaled or swallowed. ##### Almost 99 percent of imported food is never inspected by the FDA or USDA, the two agencies responsible for protecting Americans from tainted products.
##### Alfred always thought life insurance was an odd gamble. “The insurance company bets you’ll live. You bet you won’t, and you invest a fortune backing up that wager. But when it’s all said and done, you end up pulling for the company to be right.” ##### Tipi comes from the Dakota words ti, meaning “dwelling” and pi, meaning “used for.”

Terrorism stressful for adults
By NDSU Extension Service While the bombing attack in Boston can be stressful for children, it also can affect adults, according to Sean Brotherson, North Dakota State University (NDSU) Extension family science specialist. “It is likely that for some time, many adults may find themselves dealing with increased anxiety, sleep challenges, more fatigue, restless feelings or irritation, added physical concerns or feelings of loss and sadness,” Brotherson says. “This comes from the increased levels of stress and a decreased state of emotional and physical security. Adults will be dealing with peripheral effects of Monday’s attacks that include grief for those who were killed or injured, concern about security conditions and the intense media coverage after the attack.” Brotherson says there are some things to remember when dealing with the increased stress resulting from the bombing. • Accept the reality of increased levels of stress and take steps to adjust as needed. If you know that news media coverage will continue to be intense during the next few weeks, perhaps reduce your consumption of television, radio, newspapers or other media to keep stress levels down. • Understand the emotions that you feel in response to the attack and the stress that is associated with it. It is entirely normal to feel the strong emotions of sadness, anger, frustration and empathy as a response to the attacks on fellow citizens. Allow yourself to feel and even express these emotions to others in ways that are appropriate. It will help you process how you are feeling. • Pay attention to how your stress level is affecting your attitudes and responses to others. Often stress leads to being more tired, irritable or impatient, so you may need to be careful in how you interact with others or the situations in which you put yourself. • Recognize that stress results not only from the occurrence of the actual tragedy and associated feelings but also from anxiety about other possible attacks or the security of fellow citizens. Talk openly with a spouse, parent other family members or friends if you feel anxious or angry about security or the possibility of further attacks. Sharing your feelings will help you gain a sense of perspective and control of your life. • Take time to engage in activities that let you relax and resume a normal pace of life. This may include conversation time with a friend or family member, going out to dinner or watching a movie with family or friends. • Participate in opportunities to express your feelings associated with the terrorist attack. Such opportunities may include attending a memorial service, displaying a flag, making a donation, providing community service or engaging in other appropriate remembrance activities. • Engage in activities that you feel provide opportunities for you to relieve your feelings of stress. Different strategies help us manage our feelings and calm our emotions when under high levels of stress. Identify what works for you. Suggestions include walking or exercising, listening to music, engaging in prayer or meditation, talking to a close friend or taking occasional short breaks from work or other intense activities. • Avoid patterns of stress relief that may become problematic. These may include excessive drinking, misuse of drugs, overeating high-calorie foods, obsessive viewing of news reports, extreme displays of anger, withdrawal or personal isolation or attempts to harm or mistreat others. • Get plenty of sleep and eat healthful foods. Stress drains a person’s energy and makes it more difficult for a person to function well physically and emotionally. Good sleep patterns and nutritious eating habits help provide the energy reserves that are needed to deal effectively with added levels of stress. Encourage others in your family who may be feeling added stress to do the same. • Slow down and express appreciation for the positive things in your life. Find hope in the kindness shared by a neighbor. Share happiness in the affectionate touch of a family member or the laughter of a child. Kindle love in the expression of a caring word or gesture. “Each of us should be aware that the events occurring in Boston will leave us affected as individuals and as a nation,” Brotherson says. “The stress and anxiety that have come upon us and will continue for a time are real. However, we should strive to replace fear with faith in the future and in one another.” For additional information about coping with anxiety or stress, go to http://www.ag.ndsu.edu/familyscience/terrorism. You can contact Brotherson at (701) 231-6143, sean. brotherson@ndsu.edu; Kim Bushaw at (701) 231-7450, kim. bushaw@ndsu.edu; or your county Extension office.

Finally, however, he went to the doctor alone, and the doctor was successful in fitting him with a set of hearing aids that allowed the gentleman to hear at nearly 100 percent again, He went back a month later to report to his doctor how pleased he was, and the doctor replied, “Your family must be delighted that you have your hearing back again.” The gentleman laughed and said, “Oh, I haven’t breathed a word about it yet. I just sit around and listen to their conversations. I’ve changed my will three times already!”

Chemical trickery explored to help contain potato pest
By Jan Suszkiw, Agricultural Research Service The pale cyst nematode, Globodera pallida, is one bad roundworm. Unchecked, the pest burrows into potato roots to feed, obstructing nutrients and causing stunted growth, wilted leaves and other symptoms that can eventually kill the plant. Severe infestations can cause tuber yield losses of up to 80 percent. Now, however, U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and cooperating scientists are evaluating new ways to control G. pallida using naturally occurring chemicals called egg-hatching factors. According to lead scientist Roy Navarre, with USDA’s Agricultural Research Service (ARS), the egg-hatching factors are actually chemicals exuded from the roots of potato and certain other solanaceous plants into surrounding soil. There, the chemicals stimulate G. pallida eggs to hatch. Normally, this helps ensure the survival of emerging juvenile nematodes. But Navarre’s approach calls for using the chemicals to “trick” the eggs into hatching when no potato plants are present, leaving juveniles without food or a host on which to reproduce. His investigations are part a broader, multi-pronged control effort involving researchers from state universities, other ARS labs, and other federal and state agriculture departments. G. pallida, a non-native species from Europe, was first detected in eastern Idaho in April 2006. To date, it’s been found in and confined to 17 infested fields representing 1,916 total acres in Idaho’s Bingham and Bonneville counties. Despite G. pallida’s limited geographic distribution, its presence in U.S. soils has had far-reaching impact: closed or limited export markets, devalued farmland, regulatory restrictions and other economic hardships. Fumigation is a key defense. However, the eggs are encased in cysts that can resist fumigation, according to Navarre, who works at the ARS Vegetable and Forage Crops Research Laboratory in Prosser, Washington. He is exploring two approaches to force the eggs to hatch in the absence of a host: amending the soil with purified forms of egg-hatching factors, and planting sticky nightshade as a “trap crop” whose roots exude the chemicals, but don’t support the nematode’s reproduction.

Irrigation wastewater can help salvage damaged soils
By Ann Perry, Agricultural Research Service Studies at the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) that examined the long-term sustainability of degraded water reuse have demonstrated that irrigation wastewater can be used to revive non-productive saline and sodic soils in California’s San Joaquin Valley. Agricultural Research Service (ARS) soil scientist Dennis Corwin, at the agency’s U.S. Salinity Laboratory in Riverside, California, and his colleagues conducted their investigation on a private 80-acre field with crusted saline-sodic soils and extremely poor drainage. ARS is USDA’s chief intramural scientific research agency, and this research supports the USDA priority of responding to climate change. The researchers installed tile drains for channeling subsurface leachate from the field and then began irrigating with the wastewater, which typically contains elevated levels of selenium, salt, and traces of arsenic, boron, and molybdenum. The scientists collected soil samples at 1-foot depth increments five times during the 12-year study. After they began irrigating, the scientists were able to establish a forage crop on the field just two years after the study began. The researchers found the irrigation wastewater leached salts and trace elements below the root zone, which resulted in an overall decrease in levels of salts, boron, and molybdenum through the root zone. This leaching led to a significant and rapid improvement in soil quality. From 1999 to 2004, salinity decreased 21 percent, boron decreased 32 percent, and molybdenum decreased 67 percent in the top four feet of the soil profile. The decrease gradually leveled off by 2009. But in the last two years of the study, drought conditions severely reduced available drainage water supplies in the San Joaquin Valley. As a result, irrigation was halted at the site and rain became the only source of water that the field received. During this two-year period, salts, soil acidity, and levels of boron, molybdenum, and selenium increased throughout the soil profile. Soil salinity almost reached its former level, while soil acidity and selenium levels exceeded them. In a little less than two years after irrigation stopped, the soil had nearly returned to its original poor quality.

New technology sheds light on crop tissues
By Dennis O’Brien, Agricultural Research Service A U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) scientist in California has opened a window into the vascular networks of a number of crops by adapting computed tomography (CT) scan technology to the study of plants. Andrew McElrone, a plant physiologist with USDA’s Agricultural Research Service (ARS) in Davis, California, is using the technology to study how water and pathogens move through a plant’s vascular tissue called xylem. ARS is USDA’s principal intramural scientific research agency. The xylem consists of tube-like elements that play a major role in the plant’s growth and survival. When a plant takes up water from its roots, water passes through these tubes as if it were sipping water through a straw, and it uses thousands of these tubes in the process. Drought conditions increase tension on the water in healthy xylem tubes, making them more susceptible to the formation of air bubbles, called embolisms, which interrupt the water flow and lead to damage or even death of the vine. Being able to study embolism formation and the connections between xylem tissues in fine detail will help scientists determine how plants respond to water stress and other changing conditions. It also should assist in efforts to breed crops better equipped to tolerate drought and resist disease. Some pathogens target the xylem tissue and spread by moving through it. Using the CT technology, McElrone found that a key to infection susceptibility is the presence of specialized “bridge cells” that serve as connections between xylem tubes. His research has shown that how well the bridge cells link the xylem tubes could contribute to how the bacterial pathogen that causes Pierce’s disease-which results in major damage in vineyards-will move through a grapevine. Grapevines susceptible to Pierce’s disease have more bridge cells, which may allow pathogens to pass through them more easily.

Prairie Fare: We all need the sunshine vitamin
By Julie Garden-Robinson, Food and Nutrition Specialist, NDSU Extension Service I chuckled as I read a Facebook friend’s comments about her ongoing relationship with a shovel this winter. She described “him” (the shovel) as “pushy and stubborn.” One of her friends suggested that she “dump him.” We had a blizzard in our area a couple of days before the official start of spring, so we have to keep our good humor somehow. We all want to “dump” our shovels at this time of the year as we long for the warmth of the sun and for the first green blades of grass. Maybe some of us are a little short of the “sunshine vitamin.” Vitamin D can be formed by the action of sunlight on the skin, and it is associated with a wide range of health benefits from heart health to mental health. However, most of us do not go outside to partake in the sunshine vitamin during the winter months unless completely enshrouded with coats, hats, scarves and gloves. If you have heard tales of relatives enduring spoonfuls of cod liver oil long ago, vitamin D is the reason. The parents of yesteryear were trying to avoid vitamin D deficiencies among their children. A tablespoon of cod liver oil provides a full day’s recommendation of vitamin D, but not necessarily a palatable experience. Vitamin D is needed for bone growth and constant remodeling. In conjunction with calcium and other nutrients, vitamin D helps prevent osteoporosis. Vitamin D deficiency is associated with rickets, a softening and bowing of the bones, particularly of the legs. Vitamin D has had a lot of publicity in recent years and research continues. Besides promoting a strong skeletal system, vitamin D has several other potential health benefits, according to published research, although some of the results remain controversial. For example, vitamin D may play a role in maintaining our immune, nervous and muscular systems. Some researchers have shown an increased risk of heart disease, cancer and diabetes associated with low levels of vitamin D in the blood. Other researchers have linked low vitamin D levels to a greater risk of depression. The daily vitamin D recommendation was increased to 600 International Units (IU) per day for adults up to age 69 and 800 IU per day for those aged 70 and over. The upper limit for safely using vitamin D, called the “Tolerable Upper Intake Level,” was set at 4,000 IU per day. Visit with your health-care provider to see if you might benefit from a dietary supplement. Vitamin D is available from certain foods, including vitamin D-fortified milk, orange juice and cereal. Vitamin D is naturally found in salmon, tuna, herring, sardines, beef liver and egg yolks. For example, 1 cup of milk has about 100 IU of vitamin D, and a 3-ounce portion of salmon has about 800 IU. Some people are more at risk of a vitamin D deficiency than others. They include breast-fed infants, those with little sun exposure, older adults whose skin might not manufacture vitamin D efficiently, dark-skinned individuals, people with liver disease or Crohn’s disease, obese individuals or those who have undergone gastric bypass surgery. Until we can bare our arms a few minutes a day before slathering on the sun screen, be sure to fuel yourself with vitamin D sources. This vitamin-D-rich recipe is courtesy of the Iowa State University Webster County Extension Service. Try salmon patties with a side salad or make a sandwich with whole-wheat bread, tomato, lettuce and onions. Crispy Salmon Patties 1 (14.75-ounce) can salmon, drained 1 egg 1 slice whole-wheat bread, shredded, or 5 crushed saltine crackers 3 green onions, including the green stems, or 1/3 cup white onion, chopped fine (about 1/3 medium onion) 1 medium garlic clove, minced, or 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder Dash black pepper 1/2 tsp. seasoning (paprika, chili powder or dill weed) 2 tsp. vegetable oil or olive oil Remove any large bones and skin from salmon. Break into chunks with fork. Break egg into a large bowl. Whisk with fork. Add salmon, bread or crackers, onion, garlic, pepper and additional seasoning. Mix gently. Form into six patties about 1/2-inch thick. Heat oil over medium heat in a large skillet. Place patties in the hot oil in the skillet. Leave skillet uncovered. Cook three minutes. Turn over patties continued on page b19

Plum tree
By Ron Smith, Horticulturist, NDSU Extension Service Q: I enjoyed reading your advice column about plum trees. However, I still have a few questions. The birds and squirrels are eating all of my plums before they have ripened. Can I pick these plums before they are ripe, and will they continue to ripen if I bring them in the house? Also, my shiro plum tree has some kind of disease or insect issue. The leaves are green, but many leaves are covered with small, round holes. What can I do to fix the problem? (Portland, Oregon) A: In some cases, if the plums are mature but not ripe, they will continue to ripen once picked. Unlike fruits, such as grapes and strawberries, they will continue to improve in flavor after they are picked. Your other problem sounds like shot hole disease. Treatment is needed to keep it from spreading. I encourage you to contact your Extension Service county agent in the Portland area to get an accurate diagnosis of the pathogen and recommend a treatment. Go to http:// extension.oregonstate.edu/find-us and click on your county to get the needed assistance. For answers to general horticultural questions, go to http:// www.ag.ndsu.edu/horticulture.

MILLER LOADERS
Phone (406) 227-6821
By Jim Stordahl, Clearwater/Polk County Extension Service, Minnesota Despite the slow arrival of spring, the insects that overwintered indoors are waking up. The outdoor temperatures may not be spring like, but the sun seems to gain more power each day while adding warmth to our homes. The warmer afternoons and expanding day length also brings about an increase in insect activity in our south and west-facing windows. We get numerous questions on how to safely control these nuisance insects in the home, but unfortunately, I’m all out of magic bullet to solve the problem. Jeff Hahn, our Extension Entomologist, has been getting the same calls and recently shared his insight on how to best manage these unwanted guests. Throughout March, people have been having problems with nuisance insects in their homes, especially cluster flies, boxelder bugs, and (multicolored Asian) lady beetles. Fortunately, these insects are harmless, although they can be annoying, especially when a lot of them are present. Here are a few things to keep in mind when dealing with these insects. First, it is important to know that these insects are not reproducing indoors. Because they emerge from their hiding places periodically throughout the winter and early spring, it appears they are laying eggs and their offspring are emerging. In fact, all of the insects you see now entered your home last fall. They hibernate in balls or clusters in wall voids, attics, and similar areas. As the temperatures warm, the insects in the outer layers become active first and then emerge into the living quarters of the home, explaining why they do not all become active at the same time. Because they are emerging from hidden sites, it is not practical to treat them to prevent their emergence. Once they are out in the open, your best bet is physical removal, such as vacuuming or using sticky traps. Eventually, all of these overwintering insects will become active and move away from their overwintering sites. Fortunately for those trapped in homes, they are short lived To minimize problems in the future, it is important to treat these insects in the fall as they are first trying to enter your home. This is a two pronged approach. The most important task is to inspect the outside of the home during summer and seal spaces and gaps that may be used by these insect to get inside. If they can’t find an entrance, they are less likely to gain entry. This can be followed up with an insecticide application in the fall, just as these insects are trying to get inside. The chemical option increases risk to you and nontarget insects and should be considered only as a last resort. It is not possible to prevent all nuisance insects from entering into a home, but you can reduce the number that do causing fewer problems later during the winter and spring. For more information on cluster flies, boxelder bugs, and lady beetles, visit our website at www.extension.umn.edu, or contact me at 800-450-2465 or stordahl@umn.edu.

By Ron Smith, Horticulturist, NDSU Extension Service Q: I have two apple trees. On one tree, 10 percent of the leaves have turned brown and died. This tree had fire blight at one time. The other tree has a few leaves that have turned yellow and died. What is the cause of this and what can I do to save one or both trees? A: This is nothing to worry about. This is like losing a few hairs off your head and thinking immediately that you are going bald. A 10 percent or occasional yellowing of the leaves on any tree is normal and not harmful. This could be the normal senescence of older leaves or an indiscriminate feeding that took place at the juncture of the leaf petiole by mites. In either case, unless it starts becoming widespread, it isn’t worth worrying about. For answers to general horticultural questions, go to http:// www.ag.ndsu.edu/ndsuag/lawns-gardens-trees.
X marks the spot
Two hillbillies go fishing one day and decide to rent a fishing boat instead of fishing from the shore. They row out onto the lake and start to fish, and they catch one fish after another. Lester says to Bubba, “I wish we could mark this spot. It’s the best fishing I’ve seen lately.” Bubba answers, “I got some chalk in my tackle box. I kin write an X right here on the bottom of the boat.” Lester scoffs, “That’s crazy, man. What if we don’t rent the same boat next time?”
4-H Youth Exchanges
By Suzy Geppert, SDSU Extension 4-H Youth Partnerships Field Specialist We are always in search of opportunities and programs that will allow youth the chance to recognize, understand and appreciate diversity and multiculturalism. It is even better when they use hands on experiences that allow them to grow and contribute as active citizens through service and leadership. One exciting way for teens to do this is through 4-H Youth Exchanges. 4-H Youth Exchange programs were developed as a tool to help youth reach their full potential as future leaders in communities as well as workplaces. Exchange programs are a series of learning experiences in which individuals from a club, community or county visit in the homes/communities of 4-H members in another geographical area, and are visited by them in return. Counties usually host a group one year and return to visit the homes/communities of their guests the following year. Exchanges mobilize volunteers and communities to meet the needs of youth by creating non-formal, educational opportunities to help youth thrive in a complex and changing world; allowing them to problem solve and plan through various life skill development opportunities utilizing the 4-H Guiding Principles. 4-H Guiding Principles The purpose of the 4-H Guiding Principles is to provide direction to the programs that we do in 4-H. Our goal is to have our 4-H programs reflect these principles. • Youth develop sustained relationships with peers and adults that nurture their positive development. • Youth will learn more and participate more fully when they feel physically and emotionally safe. A structured yet flexible environment encourages honesty, trust and respect among all youth and adults. • Youth are actively engaged in their own development through a process of identity discovery and awareness; youth increase their personal competence and sense of well-being. • Youth are encouraged to actively participate in their development and there are opportunities for youth to learn and develop. • Youth experience and learn from hands-on educational opportunities that help them develop the skills they need to be successful adults. • Youth recognize, understand and appreciate diversity and multiculturalism. • Youth grow and contribute as active citizens through service and leadership and they feel included and involved in their communities. South Dakota (SD) youth have significant roles to play and important contributions to make as stewards of the future. Youth develop personal competencies that foster leadership, caring and citizenship.

Trimming new shrubs
By Ron Smith, Horticulturist, NDSU Extension Service Q: Three years ago, I purchased three yew shrubs that I planted in front of our house. They are doing well, especially this year. When is the best time to trim them? I know they need trimming and I desire to do the right thing at the right time. A: Yews are pruned in spring or early summer. This late in the summer is not recommended because it may stimulate new growth that might not harden off before winter. The yew is one of the most responsive plants to pruning. It often is formed into interesting topiary shapes by gardening artisans. For answers to general horticultural questions, go to http:// www.ag.ndsu.edu/horticulture.

TILLAGE & SEEDING
By University of Illinois Inclusion of corn germ in swine diets can reduce diet costs, depending on the local cost of corn germ and other ingredients. Recent research conducted at the University of Illinois indicates that corn germ can be included at up to 30 percent in diets fed to growing pigs. “In previous research, we had seen that pigs do very well on diets containing 10 percent corn germ, so we wanted to investigate if higher inclusion rates can be used,” said Hans Stein, professor of animal sciences at Illinois. The corn germ used in this study came from the ethanol, or dry grind, industry, and contained 16 to 18 percent fat. This product is different from the corn germ produced from the wet milling industry, which contains 30 to 40 percent fat. Stein’s team tested diets containing 0 percent, 10 percent, 20 percent, and 30 percent corn germ. They tested each inclusion level of corn germ in diets containing 30 percent distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS) as well as in diets containing no DDGS. They found no difference in growth performance, carcass composition, muscle quality, or backfat quality as increasing amounts of corn germ were added to the diets, regardless of the inclusion level of DDGS. “The results of this work demonstrate that pig growth rate will not be changed by the inclusion of up to 30 percent corn germ in the diets, and feed conversion rate will not be changed,” Stein said. All diets contained the same amounts of energy, standardized ileal digestible indispensable amino acids, and digestible phosphorus. Fat content was not held constant across diets; the diets containing more corn germ also contained more fat. As a result, the bellies of pigs fed diets with no DDGS were softer as corn germ levels increased. “Producers may have to reduce the inclusion rate during the final three to four weeks before slaughter,” Stein concluded. There was no effect on belly firmness in pigs fed diets containing DDGS. Stein said that research on whether reducing the inclusion rate of corn germ in late-finishing diets would ameliorate the negative effects on belly quality might be warranted. The study, “Up to 30 percent corn germ may be included in diets fed to growing–finishing pigs without affecting pig growth performance, carcass composition, or pork fat quality,” was published in the Journal of Animal Science and was co-authored with Jung Wook Lee, a Master’s student in the Stein Monogastric Nutrition Laboratory at Illinois, and Floyd McKeith, professor of animal sciences at Illinois. The manuscript is available at http://journalofanimalscience.org/ content/90/13/4933.full.

Is there softball?
Deadline for advertising in the June 2013 issue is FRIDAY, May 31.
Two 90-year-old women, Rose and Barb, had been friends all of their lives. When Rose fell ill, Barb visited her every day. As death seemed to be moving closer, Barb said, “Rose, we both loved playing women’s softball all our lives, and we played all through high school. Please do me one favor: When you get to heaven, somehow you have to let me know if there’s women’s softball there.” Rose agreed to do all that would be in her power and then passed on. At midnight a few nights later, Barb was awakened from a sound sleep by a blinding flash of white light and a voice calling her name. “Who is it?” asked Barb, sitting up suddenly. “Barb–it’s me, Rose. I have good news and bad news. The good news is that there’s softball in heaven. Better yet, all of our old buddies who died before us are here, too. Better than that, we’re all young again. It’s always springtime and it never rains or snows. And best of all, we can play softball all we want, and we never get tired.” “That’s fantastic,” said Barb. “It’s beyond my wildest dreams! So what’s the bad news?” “You’re pitching Tuesday.”

In the May result of USDA’s second major surprise – a 10 WASDE, USDA will release its first full 5.2 MMT reduction in projected world wheat feed usage to 129 MMT.

Physical Activity Guidelines Midcourse Report
By Nikki Van Dyke, Health and Physical Activity Field Specialist The Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, in partnership with the President’s Council on Fitness, Sports and Nutrition, was very happy to release the Physical Activity Guidelines Midcourse Report. The report was conducted by a group of physical activity experts that examined research evidence related to strategies for increasing physical activity among children and adolescents. In response to need from both federal and non-federal stakeholders for the Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans (http://www.health.gov/ paguidelines/guidelines/default.aspx), a federal group was formed to discuss the issue and recommended a Midcourse report. The goal of this report was to highlight interventions that can help increase physical activity in youth – in a number of different settings, both in school and outside of school. The report documents the findings of the review and presents recommendations for successful physical activity implementation strategies to help American youth increase physical activity. The report provides recommendations for increasing physical activity across five key settings: schools, preschool and childcare, community, home, and healthcare. Physical activity strategies and future steps for research were identified for the five key settings. The key findings of this report include: • All settings – 60 minutes or more a day, where kids live, learn and play. • School – Make quality physical activity a part of the school day in a variety of ways. • Preschool and Childcare – Start healthy habits for life with active play in preschool. • Community - Build the physical environments of cities, towns, and neighborhoods to encourage physical activity. • Family and Home – Be physically active with your kids and help them develop active lifestyles at a young age. • Health Care - Physical activity is critical for overall health. Talk to your patients about the importance of being active every day. As described in the 2008 Physical Activity Guidelines, for youth, substantial health benefits can be seen from engaging in moderate-vigorous intensity physical activity for periods of 60 minutes or more each day. These 60 minutes should incorporate aerobic activity and muscle and bone strengthening activity. With the emerging intervention and future research focus of this report, the key message it that children need 60 minutes or more per day where they live, learn and play.

Prairie Fare: Can you guess the protein source?
By Julie Garden-Robinson, Food and Nutrition Specialist, NDSU Extension Service Here are a few hints about a food that could stretch your budget. Do you know what it is? • This protein food contains natural chemicals that are good for your eyes because of their lutein content. This natural colorant may reduce our risk for age-related macular degeneration, a leading cause of blindness. Okay, the first tidbit isn’t well known yet. Here are a few more hints. • This protein source is considered one of the “gold standards” in nutrition because of its digestibility. • This food costs less than 20 cents an ounce. • This food sometimes receives “bad press” because of its cholesterol content. However, studies have shown that most healthy people can eat one of these items every day without affecting their blood cholesterol level. Follow the advice of a health-care provider if you are on a special diet, though. • This food requires refrigeration at 40 F or below. The best place to store this food is not in the built-in spots in a refrigerator door. Instead, containers of these should go in the main area of the refrigerator. Usually this food retains its quality for three to five weeks beyond the sell-by date. That was easy, right? By now, you should be thinking about eggs. Eggs can serve as a nutritious meal with a few added ingredients. Here’s how to create your own omelet in seven easy steps. 1. Crack two eggs in a small bowl. Mix well with a wire whisk or fork. 2. Add water (or milk) and mix. Season with salt, pepper and herbs (if desired). Add 1 Tbsp. water or milk and, if desired, 1 Tbsp. chopped fresh chives or parsley. Or, sprinkle with dried herbs of choice. 3. Heat nonstick skillet over high or medium-high heat. Add about 2 tsp. of butter or margarine and allow to melt, rotating the pan to coat the bottom with melted butter. Alternate directions: To reduce fat, omit the butter and spray the bottom of the pan with nonstick cooking spray. 4. Add egg mixture and tilt pan to evenly coat bottom of pan with egg mixture. 5. Pull cooked egg from edge of pan with spatula and let the uncooked egg mixture flow under the cooked portion. 6. When the eggs are mostly set, add fillings of choice on top of half of the cooked egg mixture. Continue to heat until the cheese begins to melt. For example, add 2 to 3 Tbsp. grated cheese such as cheddar, mozzarella, pepper jack, Swiss, American, etc. or 3 to 4 Tbsp. lean protein such as canned black beans (drained and rinsed), diced ham, cooked chicken, crisp bacon or 3 to 4 Tbsp. vegetables, such as chopped onion, mushrooms, green pepper, tomatoes, salsa, spinach, green chili peppers. 7. Fold omelet in half and slide onto plate. Omelets allow for great creativity. Try making a “vegetarian omelet” with pepper jack cheese, green peppers, onions, tomatoes and mushrooms. How about a “southwest omelet” with black beans, cheddar cheese, green onions and salsa? Consider an “Italian omelet” with mozzarella cheese, spinach, chopped tomatoes and basil. Here is a “baked” version of an omelet courtesy of the University of Wisconsin Cooperative Extension Service.

Degree for growing demand in food science industry
By CAHNRS and WSU Extension This fall Washington State University (WSU) will launch a new online Master of Science in Agriculture degree program that focuses on food science and management. The new degree (http://msag.wsu.edu/food-science/) is the first in the nation to combine food science with business management courses, giving graduates an edge in the industry and helping to meet growing demand. Dr. Jeff Culbertson, director of the new online Food Science and Management program, notes that every year there are 30-40% more food science jobs than qualified candidates in the US. “The industry is growing at a phenomenal rate. In 1990, the average number of products on grocery store shelves was 5000. Today, that number is 25,000. The number of products has just skyrocketed, and behind every product is a group of trained people who developed each one.” The unique degree offers plenty of core science courses but also executive management courses designed to prepare students for the project management, budget development, human resource management and other challenges they will likely encounter on the job. “The degree opens the door to enhancing earning potential – it could triple or even quadruple with a master’s degree,” Culbertson said. “Students employed in the food industry with a B.S. in one of the sciences often plateau in their careers fairly quickly, say in 3-5 years. A master’s opens the door to career advancement.” The degree also opens doors for those who are not currently employed in the food industry. Several courses in the program focus on environmental sustainability and environmental toxicology. The food and beverage industry now recognizes opportunities for turning waste into useable materials – to generate steam, electricity or heat. For example, Budweiser produces a lot of spent grain which, in the past, they sold as cattle feed. Now they ferment that waste grain to produce fuel that is in turn used to generate energy. In fact, one plant in Columbus, Ohio is 90 percent self-sufficient in producing its energy, according to Culbertson. Culbertson and his colleagues have the track record for teaching effective online courses. He has been developing and teaching online courses for over 18 years, giving him plenty of experience in what works well. “The program is bound to be a good experience because we know what we’re doing,” Culbertson said. His colleague, Greg Möller, a University of Idaho professor of environmental chemistry and toxicology, teaches several of the online Food Science and Management courses and is nationally recognized for his film-based course in global sustainability (http://www.webpages.uidaho.edu/sustainability/), part of the Food Science and Management curriculum. Culbertson and Möller are both award-winning educators. The Master’s in Agriculture: Food Science and Management option is offered jointly by Washington State University and the University of Idaho School of Food Science.
Cabbages
By Ron Smith, Horticulturist, NDSU Extension Service Q: Why do my cabbages have flowers? A: Cabbage is a biennial that normally doesn’t flower unless a sufficient cold treatment causes a hormone shift that pushes it into the reproductive stage. Where the winters are not so severe to kill the plants, they will bolt the following spring and come into flower. Your plants must have received some external stimulus from nature or someone is applying a flowering hormone to the seedlings that pushed them into the reproductive stage. Don’t expect any cabbage heads from those that are producing flowers. For answers to general horticultural questions, go to http:// www.ag.ndsu.edu/horticulture.

Good, clean living?
A woman saw a decrepit, little old man sitting quietly in a rocking chair on his porch, and she had a question for him. “I couldn’t help noticing how content you look,” she said. “What’s your secret for a long, happy life?” “Well,” he began. “I smoke three packs of cigarettes a day. I also drink about a gallon of whiskey a week, eat all the fatty foods I want, and I never exercise.” “That’s incredible!” the woman exclaimed. “If you don’t mind me asking, how old are you?” “I’ll be 32 next week,” the fellow answered.

By U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Recently, EPA released its annual report that tracks the fuel economy of vehicles sold in the United States, underscoring the major increases made in the efficiency of the vehicles Americans drive, reducing oil consumption and cutting carbon emissions. According to the report, EPA estimates that between 2007 and 2012 fuel economy values increased by 16 percent while carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions have decreased by 13 percent, and in 2012 alone the report indicates a significant one year increase of 1.4 miles per gallon (mpg) for cars and trucks. “Today’s report shows that we are making strides toward saving families money at the pump, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and cleaning up the air we breathe,” said Gina McCarthy, Assistant Administrator for EPA’s Office of Air and Radiation. “The historic steps taken by the Obama administration to improve fuel economy and reduce our dependence on foreign oil are accelerating this progress, will spur economic growth and will create high-quality domestic jobs in cutting edge industries across America.” The expected 1.4 mpg improvement in 2012 is based on sales estimates provided to EPA by automakers. EPA’s projections show a reduction in CO2 emissions to 374 grams per mile and an increase in average fuel economy to 23.8 mpg. These numbers represent the largest annual improvements since EPA began reporting on fuel economy. Fuel economy is expected to continue improving significantly under the Obama administration’s historic National Clean Car Program standards. The program cuts greenhouse gas emissions and would double fuel economy standards by 2025. The standards will save American families $1.7 trillion dollars in fuel costs, and by 2025 will result in an average fuel savings of more than $8,000 per vehicle. The program will also save 12 billion barrels of oil, and by 2025 will reduce oil consumption by more than 2 million barrels a day – as much as half of the oil imported from OPEC every day. EPA’s annual “Light-Duty Automotive Technology, Carbon Dioxide Emissions, and Fuel Economy Trends: 1975 through 2012” attributes the improvements to the rapid adoption of more efficient technologies, the increasing number of high fuel economy choices for consumers, and the fact that many automakers are already selling vehicles that can meet more stringent future fuel economy and greenhouse gas emissions standards. The report indicates that the projected gains for 2012 more than make up for a slight dip in fuel economy in 2011. Compared to five years ago, consumers have twice as many hybrid and diesel vehicle choices, a growing set of plug-in electric vehicle options, and a six-fold increase in the number of car models with combined city/highway fuel economy of 30 mpg or higher. The new report can be found at: http://www.epa.gov/otaq/ fetrends.htm
Sticky orange tree
By Ron Smith, Horticulturist NDSU Extension Service Q: My orange tree has done well outdoors this summer here in hot Milwaukee. However, it had a lot of flies on it for the past month. I moved it in to my sun porch and noted many of the leaves are sticky. I cleaned each leaf off twice with soapy water, but the sticky stuff came back. I also sprayed it with rubbing alcohol, but it didn’t help. What can I do? A: This could be from scale insects infesting your tree. The fact that flies were attracted to the tree is an indication that there was a feeding insect population somewhere, but not on the foliage, because you’ve carefully wiped the leaves down twice. Look on the stem to see if there are any lumps along the branches. I’m willing to bet that this is the cause of your problem. Because this is an ornamental tree and not one for consuming fruit, I suggest visiting a local nursery or garden center to see if it has a systemic insecticide available for controlling scale insects. Apply the product according to label directions and your problem will end eventually. For answers to general horticultural questions, go to http:// www.ag.ndsu.edu/horticulture. ##### There can be such a thing as being too involved with the grandchildren, which can lead to Granny burnout, which then leads to resentment.

Reducing pollution at national parks
By Colorado State University Air quality and visibility have improved dramatically at national parks and other areas of national scenic value in association with reduced air pollution emissions, according to new data analysis by the Cooperative Institute for Research in the Atmosphere (CIRA) at Colorado State University. Using atmospheric conditions from the 1990s and present day, CIRA researchers can simulate what the parks looked like then and now. “The simulated images illustrate that at places such as Great Smoky Mountains National Park, mountains that were once regularly obscured by haze are now clearly visible,” said Jenny Hand, a CIRA scientist who is working with the National Park Service to study air pollution trends and their causes. High levels of pollution In the 1960s and 1970s, high air pollution levels, often referred to as acid rain, damaged terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems and in some cases resulted in die-offs of fish and trees. This same air pollution contributed to haze, reducing visibility to a few miles in many cities, and obscured majestic vistas in national parks. The primary cause of the pollution had been identified as burning of fossil fuels, largely by coal-fired power plants, factories and automobiles, which releases sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides into the atmosphere. To address air pollution, Congress passed the 1970 Clean Air Act and its amendments in 1977 and 1990. The 1977 amendments identified certain national parks and wilderness areas as places having high scenic values and set the national goal of reducing human-caused haze in these areas. The introduction of the Acid Rain Program in 1990 set further goals of reducing the sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide emissions from coal-fired power plants and automobiles. As a result, from 1990 to 2010, sulfur dioxide emissions in the U.S. dropped from 23 million tons to 8 million tons, and nitrogen oxide emissions were cut in than half, based on annual emission inventories from the EPA. These and other emission reductions have led to remarkable improvements in visibility in many national parks, say CIRA scientists who have simulated the visual scenes at many national parks and wilderness areas. “Though there have been dramatic improvements in air quality, high levels of air pollution still occur and are environmentally harmful,” Hand said. “Diligence is required to maintain the improved air quality we now enjoy and to resolve remaining issues.” CIRA was established as in interdisciplinary partnership between the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and Colorado State University in 1980. CIRA’s partnership with the National Park Service began in the same year, and there are currently eight scientists and staff members focused on air quality measurement and visibility research.

Almost 10,000 children without health insurance
By NDSU Extension Service Children without health insurance have limited access to health care (whether preventive or ongoing), which can lead to a greater risk of illness and hospitalization. In addition, a lack of health insurance can have a negative influence on school attendance and participation in extracurricular activities, and increased financial and emotional stress among parents. According to 2010 data, 6.1 percent of North Dakota’s youth (approximately 9,514 children ages 0 through 18) do not have health insurance coverage. Nationally, 8.5 percent of youth (approximately 6.5 million) are uninsured. April’s “Insights on Children” publication from North Dakota KIDS COUNT at North Dakota State University (NDSU) focuses on children ages 0 through 18 without health insurance by county. The U.S. Census Bureau’s Small Area Health Insurance Estimates program produces estimates on health insurance coverage for states and all counties in the nation. Estimates are produced based on models that incorporate data from a number of sources, including Medicaid and Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program records, federal tax returns, population estimates and the American Community Survey. “While the overall rate of uninsured youth in North Dakota remains lower than the national average, there are many areas in our state where more than one in every 10 children lacks health-care coverage,” says Karen Olson with North Dakota KIDS COUNT. “In addition, while this report focuses mostly on the uninsured rates of children in the state, it is important to understand that many children who have insurance have inadequate coverage and limited access to health care.” A little more than one-third of North Dakota children meet the quality of care standard established by the Maternal and Child Health Bureau in collaboration with the National Center for Health Statistics. This means that 39 percent of North Dakota children have adequate insurance and a usual source for care, and had at least one preventive care visit in the past year. It also means that the majority of children do not meet these criteria (61 percent or approximately 59,000 children). “Access to health insurance coverage is important for children as they develop and grow into adulthood,” Olson says. “Even more important are efforts to ensure that coverage translates into high-quality health care that leads to positive outcomes for all children.” “Insights on Children” is available at http://www.ndkidscount.org.
Annual Kid’s Fishing Day
Central Montana’s 20th annual fishing day for youngsters will take place 9 a.m. to noon, June 8, at Wadsworth Pond on the west side of Great Falls, Montana. As in past years, the Great Falls chapter of Walleyes Unlimited will give away free rod and reel outfits to youngsters who complete a series of educational stations. Again this year, if a child brings a rod and reel, the youngster will receive a free tackle box with tackle. No fishing license is required that day at Wadsworth and Fish, Wildlife and Parks. There is no age limit but the activities are geared to youngsters just learning how to fish. To reach Wadsworth Pond head west on Central Avenue over I-15, turn north on 34th St. NW, then turn west on Wilkinson Lane and follow to the park. Groups participating include: Walleyes Unlimited, FWP, U.S. Forest Service, Malmstrom Air Force Base and Missouri River Flyfishers. For more information contact FWP in Great Falls at 4545840.

A woman went in to pick up her car from the local repair shop. “Well,” the mechanic said, “there’s good news and there’s bad news.” “I’ll take the bad news first, I guess,” said the woman. “I couldn’t fix your brakes,” said the mechanic. “That’s the whole reason I brought the car in,” complained the woman. “What possible good news can you give me after that?” “I replaced the horn with a siren.”

Blowing topsoil
By Ron Smith, Horticulturist NDSU Extension Service Q: As a new homeowner in McKenzie County, can I plant the lawn this fall? I am worried about the topsoil blowing. (North Dakota) A: Oats are a quick cover that you could use because they will pop up in a few days. If the oats can get a little growth before freeze-up, they will stabilize the soil somewhat. If you have an individual or company that does hydromulching in your area, you could have that person or company throw some oat seeds into a tank and spray them over the intended lawn area. The combination of the oats sprouting and tackiness of the mulch should stabilize the soil against even the most severe wind forces. The oat plants will be killed by hard frosts, so they will not be a permanent part of the lawn next year, but they will add valuable organic matter.

He should have wished for wisdom
A man rubbed a bottle, and out came a genie, who offered him three wishes. The man’s first wish was to wake up on a bed full of money. His second wish was to be the most powerful man in town. And his third wish was to have a lovely wife 20 years his junior. “Fine,” said the genie. “When you wake up in the morning, your wished will all be granted.” The man could hardly get to sleep that night, so great was his anticipation. But finally, he rolled over and was off to dreamland. When he woke up the next morning, something was poking the man in the back–he was sleeping on a bed of pennies. He went outside and found his house had been moved way out to the countryside and was completely isolated. But the worst was when he saw his wife, and she looked the same as always. The man raced to the nearest mirror, and sure enough, he was 20 years older then he had been the day before.

Tool allows landowners to assess wildfire risk
By Colorado State University The Colorado State Forest Service has just made available an online mapping tool that will help community leaders, professional planners and interested citizens determine wildfire risk and where forest management actions can achieve the greatest impact to reduce that risk. The Colorado Wildfire Risk Assessment Portal - or COWRAP - is a web-mapping tool that provides access to statewide wildfire risk assessment information. Through COWRAP, fire mitigation professionals, prevention planners, natural resource professionals and interested citizens can generate maps and download data and reports that describe defined project areas, such as neighborhoods or watersheds. The information in the portal is based on geographic information system (GIS) data layers that allow users to view such themes as the likelihood of an acre burning, potential fire intensity, historic fire occurrence and values at risk from wildfire. “Wildland fires continue to threaten people, property, drinking water and forest assets across Colorado, and population growth into wildland-urban interface areas presents major challenges to Colorado residents,” said Joe Duda, interim state forester. “Heightened awareness of wildfire risk and the forest management measures necessary to mitigate that risk are becoming increasingly important to ensure public safety.” CO-WRAP features two levels of access – one for community leaders, planning professionals and forestry professionals, and one for interested citizens. The professional viewer provides access to data and tools for use in creating fire protection or forest stewardship plans, or identifying priority fuels treatment areas. It also allows users to generate detailed risk summary reports for customized land areas – such as neighborhoods, Fire Protection Districts or counties. The public viewer provides a simple-to-use tool that allows users to explore wildfire risk and generate maps for specific locations. “Whether to increase public awareness about wildfire risk, or to put much-needed information at the fingertips of fire managers, CO-WRAP will be a tremendous asset for Colorado,” said Paul Cooke, director of the Colorado Division of Fire Prevention and Control. The Colorado State Forest Service continues to be the lead state agency for providing forest stewardship and wildfire mitigation education to private landowners, following legislation in 2012 that transferred responsibility for wildfire command and control from the CSFS to the newly formed Division of Fire Prevention and Control. To access CO-WRAP go to www.ColoradoWildfireRisk. com. For more information about protecting homes and communities from wildfire visit csfs.colostate.edu.
Russian sage
By Ron Smith, Horticulturist, NDSU Extension Service Q: What can I do with my Russian sage plant? I like the fact that it blooms all summer. What I don’t like is that it produces a lot of sprouts and spreads out of control. Is there some way to control these sprouts without killing the whole plant? A: You can insert a physical barrier around the plant or use Sucker Stopper, which is expensive. Sucker Stopper will kill the growing tip without killing the plant. Another solution is to dig the sprouts out with a spade and bare hands. Yours must be a very vigorous plant because I don’t have problems anywhere to that extent. When something shows up where I don’t want it, a sharp jab with a sharpshooter spade does the trick for most, if not all, of the season.

Root Lesion Nematodes in Wheat
by Wendy A. Johnson, Robert H. Johnston, Jeffrey A. Johnston, Gregory D. Kushnak, William Grey, Mary E. Burrows and Alan T. Dyer Root lesion nematodes are microscopic roundworms that parasitize agricultural crops in every part of the world. Two species of root lesion nematode, Pratylenchus thornei and Pratylenchus neglectus, are damaging to wheat. Our neighboring states of Washington, Oregon and Idaho experience annual yield losses in spring wheat due to infestations of both nematode species. Studies in Oregon and Washington have attributed up to 36 percent yield reduction in intolerant cultivars due to P. neglectus. Greatest losses occur in low-rainfall, annually cropped wheat. A survey of small grain fields in Montana for root lesion nematode was conducted in 2006 and 2007. The assessment showed damaging populations of P. neglectus occurring in north central counties of Montana, in fields of winter wheat and fields managed as no-till. No P. thornei was detected in the state. Trials conducted in summer 2007 reveal that McNeal and Outlook spring wheat display tolerance (by maintaining yield) in the presence of damaging P. neglectus populations. Root Lesion Nematode Root lesion nematodes are migratory endoparasites. They are mobile in water films among soil parFIGURE 1. A root lesion nematode ticles but move and a close look at the darkened into host root stylet, diagnostic to this group of tissue to feed nematodes. This nematode is 0.5mm long, or half the thickness of a dime. and reproduce. The parasitic nematode penetrates and moves into plant root cells using its sharp, hollow stylet (Figure 1). Cell-wall degrading enzymes secreted from the nematode’s stylet facilitate entry and feeding. As these nematodes feed and mature, they become reproductive and are able to lay an egg in root tissue every three days. There may be up to five generations of root lesion nematodes within one growing season. As eggs hatch, young nematodes can move back out into soil in search of new host plants. Since the nematodes usually live protected inside host roots, they are not dependent on soil moisture to survive. They can also enter a resting stage when field conditions are dry and hosts are not available. Subsequently, they revive under favorable conditions. This allows them to survive through fallow periods. Root lesion nematodes associated with soil particles are dispersed from field to field on farm equipment, shoes, animals and by wind.
Damage and Yield Loss Damage from root lesion nematodes can be easily mistaken for nutrient deficiencies, root rot diseases and drought. Nematode affected plants display stunting, yellowing of older leaves, reduced tillering and loss in kernel weight. Damage is affected by a variety’s tolerance and/or resistance and environmental factors including soil moisture and nutrient availability. In a low precipitation environment, winter wheat losses can be up to 37 percent at a level of 10,000 P. neglectus/kg soil. Spring wheat losses are less in high precipitation environments, but are still 14 percent at a level of 4,000 P. neglectus/kg soil.
Variety Tolerance to Root Lesion Nematodes Nematode tolerance refers to the amount of injury or yield loss caused by the nematode that a plant can withstand or recover from. Trials conducted in the summer of 2007 reveal that the spring wheat varieties McNeal and Outlook displayed nematode tolerance by FIGURE 2. A map of wheat growing districts in Montana. Nematodes were detected maintaining their yields in light grey counties. Dark grey counties contained average P. neglectus populations in the presence of high exceeding the damage threshold. Counties listed as ND are counties where root lesion P. neglectus populations nematode was not detected. (Table 3). A tolerance index value (higher number = less yield loss) is used Survey and Distribution for Root Lesion as a predictive measure of performance in areas of Nematode in Montana high infestation. In contrast, nematode resistance In the spring of 2006 and 2007, populations of refers to the ability of a plant to prevent reproducroot lesion nematodes were surveyed with the as- tion of the nematode.

Where resistance is lacking, Montana (Figure 2). Agents sampled 148 fields in tolerant varieties are a desirable control method. In 2006 and 116 fields in 2007. In 2006, P. neglectus Montana, spring wheat rotations appear to reduce nematode populations relative to winter wheat. However, since root lesion nematodes are parasitic to most small grains, rotation to non-host crops is a recommended control strategy. Non-host crops including safflower, flax, triticale and field pea do not allow reproduction of P. neglectus and therefore help manage nematode populations. Currently, the MSU wheat breeding programs are evaluating germplasm for resistance and tolerance to root lesion nematodes. Since high numbers of nematodes were found following winter wheat, studies are focused on the development of resistant winter wheat varieties. At this time, there are no commercially available lines with complete TABLE 2.

Opening a window into vector-borne viruses
By Dennis O’Brien, Agricultural Research Service U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) scientists in Ithaca, New York, are collaborating on development of a technology that could lead to new ways of disrupting how insects transmit viruses to crops. Michelle Cilia and Stewart Gray at the Agricultural Research Service (ARS) Robert W. Holley Center for Agriculture and Health in Ithaca, and their colleagues James Bruce and Juan Chavez at the University of Washington, have mapped out the structure of an elusive protein that gives certain plant viruses the ability to travel from plants to insects, through the insects, and back into plants. ARS is USDA’s principal intramural scientific research agency, and this research supports the USDA goal of promoting international food security. To move from plant to plant, some viruses, such as potato leafroll virus, need to stay in the infected plant’s phloem tissues so they can be ingested by a feeding aphid. Once inside the aphid, the virus must pass through the insect’s gut and salivary tissues before it can be passed into another plant by the aphid. To complete that journey, viruses need to assemble into larger packages known as virions. Each virus species is very particular and can only be transmitted by a few species of aphids. The researchers believe the outside shape or topology of the virion plays a major role in that specificity, determining whether a virus will move through the aphid and infect a plant. A minor structural protein of these viruses that extends from the shell of the virion is instrumental in guiding the virion on its journey through the insect and through the plant. But until now, there has been no information about these structural proteins, and such information is crucial to developing new ways of disrupting how they work. In tests with potato leafroll virus, the researchers used protein interaction reporter (PIR) technology, a tool developed in Bruce’s lab to study protein interactions. Researchers there developed a unique set of chemical compounds, or PIR crosslinkers, which could interact with the structural proteins, allowing scientists to capture a molecular snapshot of them. Coupled to high-resolution mass spectrometry, the advanced molecular design of the PIR cross-linkers also allowed the scientists to visualize critical topological features of the virion for the first time. The results, described in a paper in the Journal of Proteome Research, represent a new technology that can take measurements of insect and plantvirus protein interactions in living cells. The researchers have so far focused on luteoviruses spread by aphids. But the technology could one day be used to study other insect-transmitted plant viruses and animal-infecting viruses now difficult to study with traditional methods.
Sand cherries
By Ron Smith, Horticulturist, NDSU Extension Service Q: I just had a producer call and was wondering what is wrong with his sand cherries. Every year at this time, the leaves get yellow spots and then turn brown. He also stated that they never have produced berries. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your help. A: Sand cherries don’t live very long, so I usually don’t like to recommend them as a permanent planting in a landscape setting. After 10 years at best, they decline with diseases and eventually die or the frustrated owner digs them out. Why this one never has produced any fruit could be anybody’s guess. Because they haven’t, and with the disease problems you describe, the plants should be removed and replaced with something better.

Rural Futures Institute awards grants
By University of Nebraska-Lincoln IANR College students will go into rural communities to help with leadership and entrepreneurship projects and mentor troubled juveniles in youth rehab centers and faculty will help communities convince University of Nebraska (NU) graduates to return to their communities to work and live. Those are some of the 11 projects funded in the first round of Rural Futures Institute grants for research, teaching and engagement. More than $750,000 in grants were awarded. RFI also is in the midst of searching for its first permanent director and planning its second Rural Futures Conference, set for November 3-5 in Lincoln. Mark Gustafson, interim director of RFI, said, “The first Rural Futures Conference last year really helped set the agenda for the institute, and we expect the hiring of a director, the awarding of these grants and our second conference in the fall to really move us forward.” What’s key about RFI, Gustafson said, is that it involves all four NU campuses – faculty and students – working with community leaders to help strengthen rural Nebraska. “We’ve asked faculty to come up with creative new opportunities to engaging with rural communities,” Gustafson said. While the grants are awarded to NU faculty, he emphasized that RFI wants communities and nonprofit organizations with bold, creative ideas to bring those forward to the institute. Grant recipients in the research and engagement category: • Communities Creating Their Own Innovation and Entrepreneurship: Entrepreneurial Communities Activation Process, Anita Hall, University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension.

Rural areas in Arizona have two prime assets for solar farming – abundant sunshine and large expanses of undeveloped land. Yet county planners and solar investors need fundamental details about a site to determine its real-world potential for utility-scale solar energy production. The University of Arizona (UA) is analyzing comprehensive databases and producing detailed maps that show which sites meet essential criteria and have the best potential for generating solar energy on a large scale. “Initial feasibility studies often are costprohibitive for underfunded communities with large expanses of undeveloped land,” said Mark B. Apel, the UA Cooperative Extension agent for Cochise County – the first county to be mapped in this statewide project. UA Cooperative Extension is part of the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences. “Using computer modeling, we can eliminate land that we know would never work – and see where the areas of highest potential are,” he said. “Once the more promising sites are identified, rural communities can get solar developers to look more carefully.” Parameters Identify Promising Sites Critical factors range from physical aspects – such as the slope of the land, the direction it faces (south exposures get more sun), soil quality and amount of shade – to economic factors such as proximity to existing roads, railroads and transmission lines. “Our database computer system allows us to map data geospatially – so data is portrayed visually on a map,” Apel said. Layers of existing county, state and federal data are combined to create GIS shapefiles with color-coded polygons indicating high, medium or low suitability for siting utilityscale solar facilities. Planners and communities can then incorporate their own local data, selecting criteria such as ownership, floodplains, washes, wildlife habitat and corridors, recreation areas, archaeological sites, farmland and residential developments. Apel spearheaded the analysis of the entire 6,200-square-mile jurisdiction of Cochise County in the southeast corner of Arizona. The results show significant opportunity for solar development around Sierra Vista. The Willcox area also has many areas of high suitability, partly because of the higher density of roads for site access, compared to a smaller community like Cochise. “This is the first step in helping the county and any renewable energy developer to understand where the greatest potential is for solar energy power plants within the county’s jurisdiction. This is a first cut – not a final assessment of the real-world suitability of a given area of land,” Apel said. UA Plans Geospatial Database for Every County “Our ultimate goal is to use this GIS computer model to develop a geodatabase for every county in Arizona – all 15 of them,” Apel said. (GIS stands for geographic information system.) Apel has worked on this project with Iris Patten, assistant professor in the UA School of Landscape Architecture and Planning, and Melanie Myers-Colavito, a doctoral candidate in geography: “We hope to have the whole state done by the end of the spring 2013 semester.” Funding is provided by a grant from the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Economic Development Administration. The project is administered by the UA Regional Center for Sustainable Economic Development. The solar analysis reports can assist coun-
ties and communities as they plan for solar energy development and infrastructure and as they process applications for land use. “They help determine right up front if what’s being proposed is valid and feasible,” Apel said. For example, if a developer is considering acreage that faces north, with loose sandy soil and a slope of greater than two percent, county planners would know that it is not a suitable site for large-scale solar energy generation. “Just like real estate, in land planning, everything is location, location, location,” Apel said. Proximity to existing transmission lines and substations is critical, he said: “The costs of putting in new lines can be really exorbitant.” Cochise County Research Leads to Statewide Model The Cochise County Planning and Zoning Commission cited the UA solar analysis as a factor when it approved a 1.2-megawatt solar photovoltaic project to be developed by Sulphur Springs Valley Electric Cooperative in San Simon, near the New Mexico border. (A rule of thumb is that 10 acres will generate 1 megawatt of solar energy, enough to power more than 600 homes.) A 5-megawatt photovoltaic project typically would cover 50 acres and generate power for 3,000 to 4,000 homes, Apel said. In the report, he noted that neighboring New Mexico is developing solar-generating facilities of this size all over the state to meet solar energy requirements more stringent than those in Arizona. The Arizona Corporation Commission has mandated that utilities obtain at least 15 percent of their power from renewable sources by 2025. “Cochise County surpassed 125,000 people as of the 2010 census – which means it is now required by state statute to include an energy element in its comprehensive plan,” Apel noted. That’s an important reason why officials wanted this renewable energy opportunity analysis. The U.S. Department of Energy provided crucial data for this project. “They have wonderful maps that show the areas of greatest solar isolation – the amount of solar energy that shines onto the Earth’s surface,” he said. But those maps were grainy low-resolution images. Another vital resource was the Arizona State Land Department, which spent years developing detailed geodatabases, then provided that information to individual counties. After incorporating all the data into the GIS computer model developed at the University, “our results reflect the suitability for solar development down to a 1,100-squarefoot area of land,” Apel said. Apel was with the Cochise County Planning Department for a decade before joining UA Cooperative Extension in 2007. Cochise County requested this analysis, funded by the federal grant, which led to developing the model that will now be used to access all counties in Arizona. “We’ve found this incredibly useful,” said Mike Turisk, Cochise County planning manager during an interview in January. “We had a solar project just last month. It was located in an area that according to the analysis was very suitable for utilityscale solar development from a number of perspectives. The grade of the site was less than two percent. It was a wide open area, very rural, away from major residential developments.” Added Turisk: “The planning and zoning commission indicated this suitability analysis is very beneficial in making a determination about whether a proposed solar project is sited in an optimal area.”

Bergamot plant
By Ron Smith, Horticulturist, NDSU Extension Service Q: I have a bergamot plant that has been in the ground for two seasons. It is waist high but has sparse leaves and they look mottled. I was thinking maybe it’s not getting enough sun, so I bought another one and put it where it will get full sun. I can’t compare them yet because the new one has been in the ground for only two weeks. Any ideas? A: Bergamot is a very popular herb and good-looking perennial plant. Bergamot loves light, moist soil. A great spot to plant your bergamot is in a place that just gets morning sun. If you can do that, the flowers will bloom longer and the foliage will dry faster, which will reduce the possibility of powdery mildew showing up. You can add bergamot to your garden by using plant cuttings or sowing seeds. However, if you sow the seeds, the bergamot will grow more slowly compared with using cuttings. Bergamot is a creeping plant that tends to spread, so you will need to contain it. However, to my knowledge, it isn’t considered invasive. My guess is that your plant needs to be dug out and divided, which should be done in the early spring.

N.D. sees very large increase in land values

By NDSU Extension Service North Dakota cropland values increased by about 42 percent during 2012, according to Andrew Swenson, North Dakota State University (NDSU) Extension Service farm management specialist. His estimate is derived from the published results of a January 2013 county-level survey commissioned by the North Dakota Department of Trust Lands. The 42 percent increase is similar to the 46 percent increase reported by the North Dakota Chapter of the American Society of Farm Managers and Rural Appraisers. “The question is whether this huge increase has capped a 10-year rise in land values, which has been the largest in the past 100 years, even exceeding what occurred from 1973 to 1981,” Swenson says. “North Dakota cropland values are now the highest ever, even when adjusting for inflation.” The drivers that have pushed land values have been well documented. Grain prices from 2007 to the present have been much higher than any year prior to 2007. Also, yields generally have been strong. For example, the three highest wheat yields ever have occurred within the past four years. This combination has provided several years of strong profit for crop producers, which has fueled their financial ability and desire to buy land. Swenson believes 2012 was the apex in North Dakota crop production profit because stored soil moisture provided much better yields than expected. At the same time, prices soared due to a drought in the Corn Belt. A factor that has been just as important in driving land values has been low interest rates. Interest rates to finance land purchases are attractive, while returns and confidence on alternative investments have been weak. Ten years ago, an acceptable return on land investment (cash rent minus real estate taxes divided by land value) was about 6 percent. Now it is about 3 percent. If buyers insisted on a return of just one percentage point more, to 4 percent, land values would have to drop by one-fourth, assuming constant cash rents and real estate taxes.
If a general rise in interest rates occurs, being able to cash flow land purchases with debt capital becomes more difficult. Also, certain fixed-return investments may become more attractive relative to investing in land. “This perfect storm of high crop prices and yields and low interest rates driving land values higher will not continue indefinitely,” Swenson says. “In fact, there are strong indications that 2013 crop prices will be significantly lower than in 2012. In addition, government subsidies for agriculture are expected to diminish, if not in 2013, then most certainly in 2014.” For example, direct payments average about $10 per cropland acre in North Dakota. If they are eliminated, the eventual impact on average land values could be a reduction of $200 to $300 per acre. However, Swenson does not expect an immediate sharp drop in land values, even if crop prices, yields and/or interest rates turn somewhat less favorable. “Obviously there has been very strong interest in land,” Swenson says. “Many producers and investors have the financial wherewithal to bid on land, which will tend to underpin land values. After the strong increase in land prices, any softening could be seen as a buying opportunity.” continued on page c8

The largest increase in cropland values (January 2012 to January 2013) was about 60 percent in the east-central region (to $2,295 per acre) and the northeastern region (to $1,990), followed by increases of 56 percent (to $3,427) in the northern Red River Valley and 47 percent in the north- central region (to $1,517). There was a 30 to 40 percent increase for the northwestern region (to $867), south-central (to $1,343), southern Red River Valley (to $4,180) and southeastern region (to $2,925). The smallest increase per acre, about 23 percent, occurred in the southwestern region (to $1,001). “The survey indicates that land rents, as typical, did not change as much in percentage as land values,” Swenson says. “On average, cropland rents increased about 12 percent, which was a very strong increase from a historical perspective.” The largest increases in land rent, nearly 19 percent, occurred in the south-central region (to $56 per acre) and the northern Red River Valley region (to $90.90). The average rent increased 17 percent (to $65.50 per acre) in the eastcentral region. Cropland rents increased about 15 percent in the northeastern region (to $54.40) and the southeastern region (to $92.20) and increased 14 percent in the southern Red River Valley (to $114.70). The smallest increase in land rent rates, 4 to 5 percent, occurred in the northwestern region (to $34.90), north-central region (to $48.10) and southwestern region (to $36.20). Swenson cautions that the values and rents are averages for large multicounty regions. Prices can vary considerably within a region because of soil types, drainage and location.

By Ron Smith, Horticulturist, NDSU Extension Service Q: I hope you can help our poor trees. We have four trees that are approximately 30 years old. Last year, one of them developed yellow spots that had a dustlike consistency. All the leaves fell off but grew back a few months later. This season, we have noticed that the yellow spots have come back with a vengeance and started to infect the neighboring poplars. What do you think this is and what can we do about it? A: This is a rust fungus, which is an obligate parasite. This means it must have an alternate host nearby to complete its lifecycle. In this case, the alternate host would either be a hemlock or a larch, which are both conifers. If you have any on your property, they should be removed to break the cycle. If they are off your property, the only option you have is to put down a protective spray using a sulfur-based material such as Mancozeb or other products labeled for this pathogen. Raking up and burning all fallen leaves also will go a long way in minimizing the virulence of this disease.

Virus gets rid of houseflies
By Sandra Avant, Agricultural Research Service U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) scientists have found an effective method to infect houseflies with a virus that stops the flies from reproducing. Houseflies can transmit hundreds of animal and human pathogens like Salmonella, Escherichia coli and Shigella bacteria, which cause foodborne illnesses. Insecticides are used to help control flies, but the pests can develop resistance to chemicals. Entomologist Christopher J. Geden, with the Agricultural Research Service (ARS) Center for Medical, Agricultural and Veterinary Entomology in Gainesville, Florida, examined salivary gland hypertrophy virus (SGHV), a member of a newly discovered family of viruses called Hytrosaviridae. ARS is USDA’s chief intramural scientific research agency. Collaborating with scientists at the University of Florida and Denmark’s Aarhus University, Geden looked at SGHV’s distribution and host range, and the effectiveness of different application methods on houseflies. The virus reproduces in the salivary gland of the infected insects, preventing the females from laying eggs and preventing the males from mating. Scientists examined different approaches to increase the virus infection rate in flies. The best method was a crude mixture of Danish SGHV-infected flies and water. A strain of healthy flies that had been dipped directly into the mixture or that walked on treated surfaces had an infection rate of 56 percent. A Florida strain had a 50 percent infection rate. Liquid baits containing SGHV produced an infection rate of 22 percent (Danish virus) or 26 percent (Florida virus) in flies. When flies were sprayed directly with SGHV, the Danish virus infected 18 percent and the Florida virus infected 22 percent. In other laboratory tests, Florida houseflies were highly susceptible when injected with SGHV. Black dump flies were severely affected, and stable flies died quickly or failed to develop ovaries after injection. While the virus shows great potential in controlling house and other filth flies, it is not a quick fix, according to Geden. However, SGHV could become part of an integrated management program that involves treating natural fly populations early during peak season to reduce reproduction.

Dying pin oak tree
By Ron Smith, Horticulturist, NDSU Extension Service Q: I have a pin oak that grew from an acorn 38 years ago. It is a beautiful, tall, small-trunked tree. Last summer, the top third of the tree died after leafing out. We didn’t know what to do, so we left it alone. This summer, after a severe drought, the next third of the tree died. This tree grew in a swampy area that usually is under water during April and May. Sometimes it takes until June before it dries up. We didn’t have any problems with standing water this spring or summer. Can this tree be saved? The bark and leaves look healthy. A: With two-thirds of the tree dead, I wonder how much more you are willing to tolerate a disfigured tree before you decide it should be removed and replaced. If what is there looks good, then the tree has a chance to survive. However, it won’t have the typical form of a pin oak. You might be better off collecting another acorn and planting it.

Iron deficiency chlorosis research for soybean
By Jim Stordahl, Clearwater/Polk County Extension Service, Minnesota Spring will arrive and soybeans will get planted. But, if the cool weather continues into summer, Iron (Fe) deficiency chlorosis (IDC) in soybean can be a greater problem. The following is the first part of a two part article provided by Dan Kaiser, UM Soil Scientist. Management of IDC in soybean is seemingly and endless topic of research in soybean growing areas with high pH, calcareous, parent materials. We are just finishing a threeyear summary of a series of IDC management strip trials that began in 2010. Our main focus for this work was to study the variability in response for a tolerant and susceptible variety to an oat companion crop and a 6% EDDHA-Fe treatment applied in-furrow (we used Soygreen at a rate of 3 lbs of product per acre). The field areas were selected to have some variation in the severity of IDC. Consistent with previous findings, variety selection still is one of the most important considerations that can be made when dealing with IDC. Even with some of the different management scenarios, planting a tolerant variety still presented the best insurance policy. The susceptible did yield higher in field areas without IDC. Thus, variable planting is an option as long as you can accurately map a field to determine where IDC will have the greatest severity. This will be discussed further in this article. We have had mixed results with the oat companion crop the past three years. Our greatest risk with this strategy was reductions in yield if the oat crop was not terminated at the correct time. Our treatment was a 2 bu/ac rate broadcast seeded and dragged in immediately before planting. Our targeted time of termination was when the oat crop was 10 inches tall, which was challenging to say the least. With unpredictability in rainfall events the past three years we were only able to successfully terminate the oat crop at the correct stage about 50% of the time. The oat crop did increase yield, but the increase was seen only for the susceptible variety. Yield without oat for the tolerant variety was similar to the susceptible with oat. Thus, in terms of risk, the oat companion will work but is riskier than other management strategies. The in-furrow iron treatment gave us the best chance for return with the lowest risk. No yield reductions occurred from the in-furrow application of the EDDHA-Fe fertilizer source. Yield responses were greatest in areas severely affected with IDC (soybean plants would generally die off during the season) and generally were still positive in areas that would show significant yellowing of leaves with some stunting of plants. There was no yield response in areas with little to no IDC pressure. The data we have strongly supports to only apply these products in field areas where moderate to severe IDC is present. Even with the in-furrow product, the susceptible variety could not out yield the tolerant. Again, selecting a tolerant variety is the best course of action. There are a few unknowns with this work. First, we only tested at 1 rate of the product. Similar strip trials with multiple rates would be beneficial to determine variable rate applications. Second, predicting where the moderate and severe areas are can be difficult. When we speak to most growers, salts and carbonates are generally used to judge IDC severity in fields. However, these factors did not have much bearing on the severity of IDC in our studies. It generally followed that the field sites were we saw the best response to in-furrow Fe where higher in carbonates and had some higher EC values (electrical conductivity is used to assess the salt content). However, within the sites there was no clear correlation between the severity of IDC and these factors. What seemed to factor in greater than soil tests was precipitation in June. If we focus on past research the major driving force is soil moisture content. If you take soil from a field area affected by IDC, the severity of the problem has been shown to increase if with increasing level of water saturation of the soil. Thus, for our work in West-central Minnesota, soil moisture should be a major driving force where IDC will occur, but it is rarely if ever measured. Next I’ll share information on how you can be part of an upcoming statewide research project to learn more about IDC. For more information, contact me at 800-450-2465 or stordahl@umn.edu.

Avoid extra stress when weaning goats
By Audra Scheel, SDSU Extension 4-H Youth Program Advisor Weaning is a stressful time for any animal but if you can reduce factors that cause stress on the animal the transition will happen more smoothly for everyone involved. Reducing stress factors start well before the actual process of weaning by following proper nutrition and disease management for both the kid and the mother. Here are some helpful reminders for you to prepare your goat kids for weaning. Choosing Feed Start by transitioning your kid’s diet from milk to a creep feed pellet that is 16-18% protein. Goats tend to sort texturized feeds so pellets are the best option to make sure they are consuming a balanced diet. Next, get out your calendar and mark when the kids will be two months old and approximately 35-40 pounds. This is the ideal time to wean them because they are not relaying on their mother’s milk to meet all their nutritional needs. The majority of their diet should be creep feed at this point compared to milk because their stomach is able to fully digest roughages and complete feeds to get the full nutritional value out of those feeds. Weaning is also stressful for your does. The week before you wean, quit feeding corn to the does. This will help slow their milk production and reduce the chance of mastitis forming in their udder. There are many different brands of goat feed so work with your local feed dealer or nutritionist when developing a feed ration for your goat kids. I recommend picking out a brand of feed that you are going to stick with throughout the growing season. Changing feed types and brands will only add stress to your goat. Also keep in mind, goats are very susceptible to Coccidiosis, a bacterial disease, when stressed, so consider feeding a feed that contains a coccidiostat that helps prevent Coccidiosis. Many goat starter and show feeds contain coccidiostats, which will be indicated on the feed label along with the term “medicated”. Disease & Pest Defense Also before weaning, have a goat vaccination program to help control disease. Goat kids should have their initial CD-T shot and a booster. This will help prevent against enterotoxemia (overeating disease) caused by Clostridium perfringins types C and D and tetanus. In addition, I recommend deworming them twice prior to weaning along with their mothers. Treating one and not the other won’t do much good as the kids will pick the worms back up from their mothers in a short amount of time. If you notice your goats scratching themselves with their hooves or having a rough looking hair coat, they probably have lice. Milk production in does can be reduced as much as 25% if the does have lice. Lice are external parasites which spend their entire lives on the sheep or goat. Both immature and adult stages suck the blood or feed on the skin. Goat lice are host specific and only attach to goats and their close relatives such as sheep. Using a pour-on on the does and kids prior to weaning and again at weaning time will help with this problem. Be sure to follow product labels to give the correct dosage. Facility Considerations Everyone’s situation and facilities are different, so careful planning also can help with your personal stress! My personal facility allows us to haul the does to a different pasture and leave the kids in the same barn and corral that they are accustomed to. Leaving them in familiar surroundings helps reduce stress, their environment hasn’t changed only the mother is gone. When setting up the goat kids’ weaning pen, here are a few things to consider: 1. Creep Feeders: choose feeders or bunks that the goats can’t lay in or play in, wasting high priced feed isn’t very economical. Clean the fines and dust from your feeders regularly. 2. Water Source: clean it regularly. Goats love clean, fresh water and will often turn up their noses and refuse to drink if it has been stepped in or has waste/feces in it. During the first couple days of weaning using an electrolyte in the water is a good option. 3. Roughage: providing free choice hay or alfalfa to your kids at weaning time keeps their stomachs working. Use a feeder that hangs on the wall or fence so the goats can’t play in the hay or get inside the feeders. 4. Mineral and Salt: consult your nutritionist for the right choice in mineral and salt. Select a feeder that keeps the mineral and salt clean. 5. Clean, Dry Pens: keeping your weaning pen clean and continued on page c15

dry will reduce sickness and disease. Also provide a barn area or shed where the goats can get out of the weather. 6. Watch Them: take time to watch your herd every day. Sickness is not always obvious and goats tend to hide it well. Unfortunately when it is obvious they are really sick, saving them gets that much harder. 7. Think like a goat: last of all sit down in the weaning pen and look around. Are there any potentially dangerous things that need to be fixed? If a goat can get his head threw the fence, there is probably room for his whole body to escape! Goats are curious creatures and if they can get into trouble they probably will. Following these stress-reducing factors will help make the transition period for the goat kid that much more successful. Remember stress for the kid doesn’t just come from being separated from its mother. Make sure they are prepared to be weaned by getting them started on creep feed, they are up to date on their vaccinations, and have a safe, clean environment. Also keep in mind, the more ways you try to reduce stress on the animal will only reduce the amount of stress you have to deal with too. Good luck during this busy time!

A better understanding of the impacts of grazing sheep
By Dennis O’Brien, Agricultural Research Service A U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) scientist is giving guidance to growers in Montana and the Dakotas on how grazing sheep when fields are left fallow will affect soil quality. Grazing sheep and other livestock was once common in the region before fertilizers were introduced in the 1950s. While fertilizers increased yields, they also have increased nitrogen runoff and leaching, made soils more acidic, and contributed to greenhouse gas emissions, according to Upendra Sainju, a soil scientist with the Agricultural Research Service (ARS) in Sidney, Montana. ARS is USDA’s principal intramural scientific research agency. Growers looking for alternatives have turned once again to grazing sheep during seasons when fields are left fallow. The trend in Montana and North Dakota prompted Sainju and his ARS colleagues to study the grazing’s effects on crop quality, soil chemistry, and amounts of nutrients in the soil. Each can have long-term effects on crop yields. Sainju and his colleagues set up three cropping systems (continuous spring wheat, spring wheat-fallow, and winter wheat-fallow) in southwestern Montana. They compared soil qualities on a series of plots where, during the fallow season, sheep were grazed, herbicides were used, or the soil was tilled for weed control. Over four years, sheep were grazed at rates of up to 153 sheep per hectare (2.47 acres), glyphosate was applied at standard rates, and soils were tilled to a standard depth of 15 centimeters (5.9 inches). Soil samples from varying depths were analyzed for organic matter, nutrients, pH and electrical conductivity, which affects nutrient availability and plant growth. The results showed that tillage did return more of the beneficial wheat residue to the soil than either grazing or the herbicide treatments, resulting in higher levels of calcium, sulfur, and electrical conductivity in the soil. But grazing generally had no negative effects on soil organic matter and crop yields. The sheep returned to the soil some of the phosphorus and potassium they ate up in the wheat residue by way of their feces and urine. Grazing also increased levels of magnesium and sodium in the soil, possibly because the urine and feces contained higher levels of them. The results of this study were published in the Agronomy Journal (https://www.agronomy.org/publications/ aj) and Soil Science Society of America Journal (https://www. soils.org/publications/sssaj).

Arctic willows
By Ron Smith, Horticulturist, NDSU Extension Service Q: I have several arctic willows in my yard. I am quite concerned with the leafing-out process this spring with two of the older willows. A few of the branches have a full set of leaves, but many do not have any leaves. I broke off a wispy branch and found definite green under the thin bark. Should I be patient or start planning a removal project? A: It is ironic what problems are showing up this spring considering the mild winter we’ve just had! It seems that the lack of adequate snow cover has caused a lot of this irregular growth response or even the demise of plants that have been on the site for more than 10 years. I’d suggest waiting until Memorial Day weekend to see if these nongrowing branches decide to join the crowd and open their buds for you. If not, then they have lost the opportunity to contribute to the beauty of the shrub and should be removed without remorse.

Two old men had been meeting in the park to play chess for years. One day, Frank finally confessed to Henry: “I must really be having a senior moment–all of the sudden, I can’t think of your name. Help me out?” After a long and extremely tense pause came his friend’s reply: “I’ll have to get back to you on that one.”

Prairie Fare: Seven steps to creating a soup
By Julie Garden-Robinson, Food and Nutrition Specialist, NDSU Extension Service “I made the wild rice soup mix, but I added a few things,” my husband commented one day on our way home. “That sounds good,” I responded. “We had carrots, celery and onions in the fridge, so I chopped them and added them to the soup,” he said. I nodded my head. I knew the perishable veggies in the refrigerator needed to find their way into a recipe soon. “We had some leftover mashed potatoes, mixed vegetables, chicken and crumbled bacon, so I added those to the soup,” he continued. I think I raised my eyebrows and looked at him at this point. “Do you think the kids will eat it?” I asked. “They already ate and they all had seconds. They raved about it,” he said. Soup can be a hearty meal and a good place to use your leftovers. Remember that most leftovers have a storage life of about four days in your refrigerator for best quality and safety. You can freeze them in airtight freezer containers to extend their storage life. Be sure to mark the container with the contents, amount and date. You can learn more about food storage times using the “Food Storage Guide” publication at http://www.ag.ndsu. edu/pubs/yf/foods/fn579.pdf. If you are feeling creative, here is how to “create your own soup” in seven easy steps adapted from Utah State University. How about potato soup with ham, chopped celery and carrots? Chicken-rice soup with leftover mixed vegetables, grilled chicken, rosemary and parsley also makes a nice pairing. 1. Choose one fat. • 2 Tbsp. canola, sunflower, olive or other oil or 2 Tbsp. butter or 2 Tbsp. margarine. Heat in large pot on stove. 2. Rinse and chop 1 medium onion. Add to pot and cook over medium heat until tender. 3. Choose one broth to add to the pot. • 2 (16-ounce) cans chicken, beef or vegetable broth • 4 c. water plus chicken, beef or vegetable bouillon or soup base prepared according to manufacturer’s directions • 1 (16-ounce) can crushed or diced tomatoes and 3 cups water • 4 c. milk and chicken bouillon or soup base prepared according to manufacturer’s directions 4. Choose one protein to add. • 1 pound cooked (or leftover) chopped/diced beef, chicken, ham, lean sausage, etc. • 1 (16-ounce) can beef, chicken, ham • 1 (16-ounce) can beans (pinto, kidney, navy, black, etc.), drained and rinsed 5. Choose one starch to add. • 3 to 4 c. diced potatoes • 4 ounces egg noodles, macaroni, pasta (or 1 1/2 c. leftover cooked noodles) • 1/2 c. uncooked rice (or 1 1/2 c. leftover cooked rice) 6. Choose a mixture of 2 to 3 cups chopped vegetables (fresh, frozen or canned) to add to the pot. 7.

Community Garden Grant program expanded
By K-State Research and Extension News While some might caution, “you can’t have too much of a good thing,” the Kansas Health Foundation (http://www. kansashealth.org/) is choosing to infuse nearly $50,000 additional dollars to fund a bumper crop of exceptional Kansas Community Garden Grant applications. With 2013 the second year of a three-year $100,000 per year grant effort to encourage developing community gardens and teaching gardening skills, the Foundation is awarding $147,004 to fund 35 grants, said Evelyn Neier, a horticulturist and K-State Research and Extension 4-H (http://www.kansas4h.org/) youth gardening specialist serving as the state coordinator for the community garden grants. In 2012, the first year the grants were offered, 24 gardens were funded, said Neier, who noted that the 2013 selection committee is “delighted with the increased interest, and pleased to expand funding to develop gardens in cities and towns with varying populations in many areas of the state.” According to Neier, Kansas communities and community groups are invited to submit grant applications for up to $5,000 toward the start-up costs for community garden site preparation; installation of water wells and irrigation lines; tools; storage sheds and other miscellaneous expenses in establishing a community garden. With physical activity known to promote health, and gardening considered a potential lifetime interest, Neier said the goal for the grant effort is to provide - and encourage - educational opportunities for citizens of all ages to grow their knowledge about gardening by learning how to prepare the soil, plant seeds, tend plants, weed, water, harvest, and add fresh, health-promoting fruits and vegetables to meals and snacks. The process also is expected to build community, she said. Rick Miller, grant coordinator for the Community Garden at the Center of Grace in Olathe, Kansas, explained: “Kansas Health Foundation funding will allow us to expand the garden, and teach a greater number of people about gardening.” Miller, who noted that this garden is attracting many families who are new to the Kansas City area and new to the U.S., said that it is encouraging to see families working side-by-side in the garden, and to watch them grow as they learn more about food and how it grows, nutrition and health while also meeting others who are choosing to make their home in the area. Clelia McCrory, who assisted Lyons USD 405 in writing the grant to establish the Lyons School Community Garden, is enthusiastic about community gardens, referencing a new generation of people who may have missed lessons about gardening and its benefits from their parents and grandparents. Community collaborators for the USD 405 grant include The First Christian Church, Rice Healthcare Foundation, and Rice County K-State Research and Extension Office, and mentors from Sterling, Kansas, who achieved success with a Kansas Health Foundation Community Garden Grant in 2012. Libby Oberdorf, pastor of the Williamsburg United Methodist Church submitted a successful 2013 grant application for a Williamsburg Community Garden in cooperation with the city and elementary school. She expressed the hope that establishing a community garden will bring young families who are new to the community together with older (and longtime) residents, including many who no longer have a connection with the schools. Oberdorf, who offered the backyard of the parsonage as a location for a community garden to grow produce for garden members and the church’s food pantry, reported that the new garden also is adjacent to the community library. “We’re already growing,” she said. At the time we applied for the grant, the local library had one book on gardening … well, actually, on landscaping.” “As we’ve worked through the grant process, excitement in the community continues to grow. The library has purchased more gardening books and others in the community have donated books; the latest count in the gardening section is around 25,” Oberdorf said. Successful grant applicants represent a cross-section of the population and include educational and community groups and collaborative community partners who share a desire to improve community health and build community, said Neier. #####

The difference was $58. Producers who had a higher net return sold heavier calves for more money per pound than those producers who had lower net returns. In stark contrast to popular thought, lighter-weight calves did not bring more dollars per hundredweight of calf, and the additional weight on each calf at a higher value actually accentuated the positive impacts of good heavier-calf marketing. The value of marketing is huge and will be the key in using any single factor in determining potential increases in gross margins. The market will reward value, so value is worth seeking.

Recommendations so biofuel plants don’t become weeds
By University of Illinois In the United States, only species listed on state or federal noxious weed lists are regulated, and those lists are often biased toward species that affect agricultural crops. Conversely, invasive plant council lists include species that affect natural landscapes but have no regulatory clout. After comparing the lists and how they are created, researchers at the University of Illinois’s (U of I) Energy Biosciences Institute have developed some suggestions on how to improve the regulation of all invasive plant species, including new biofuels plants. “We’re hoping to reform the way that the lists are developed,” said U of I invasive plant ecologist Lauren Quinn. “State Departments of Agriculture usually put those lists together. We’d like to see greater representation from other stakeholders, such as Departments of Natural Resources or Transportation, which deal with invasive species in rightsof-way. We’d also like a council of invasive species experts to advise the groups that are creating the lists so that the process is science based,” she said. Quinn said that a more transparent listing process would be based on a scientific process developed by the USDA known as the weed risk assessment. “The process is a way of looking at the potential invasiveness of a new species,” she said. “That potential is largely based on whether they’re invasive elsewhere. It was originally developed in Australia where they have a very rigorous quarantine system. The process has recently been modified and updated by the USDA, and we are recommending that regulatory lists be reformed using the new system,” Quinn said. Using the system, the invasive species council in each state would assess the plants that are currently on the list and any plants that are petitioned to be on the list and rank them according to their potential invasiveness. “High-risk species would be regulated on a new noxious list, but lowrisk species would not be regulated,” Quinn said. “Species for which insufficient data is available for the assessment would be placed on a ‘caution’ list that would demand further investigation prior to release.” Quinn and her team recommend that field trials be done on “caution” list species before they’re released into the environment. The team also proposes a negligence-liability scheme in case the plant turns out to be invasive. “Right now, even if you know that a plant is highly invasive, you can plant it or sell it and there are no consequences at all, unless it’s on the noxious weed list,” said U of I professor of agricultural law A. Bryan Endres. “Most of the regulation is directed exclusively at what might impact agriculture, but horticulturalists are developing new plants for home landscaping that might well be highly invasive. For economic reasons, the horticultural industry has a strong incentive to keep these new plants off of the noxious weed list when some varieties really they should be regulated,” he said. Quinn first noticed the discrepancies in the regulated noxious weed lists and the nonregulated invasive plant lists while working in California. “Some of the really important invasive plants that impact natural areas in California were not on the noxious list. That seemed strange to me. Why would you put together this list but not include the species that really mattered? For some really problematic plants like yellow star thistle, landowners are not required to do anything. It made no sense to me,” Quinn said. Enforcement by states In comparing the lists from all 50 states, the researchers found that Montana has a noxious weeds law that is well enforced. “If a noxious weed is found on private property, it’s the responsibility of the landowner to eradicate it,” Quinn said. As for the other states, Connecticut and Massachusetts came out on top. “They’re listening to their invasive species council,” Quinn said. “Other states have an invasive species council in place, but they’re not very active or they’re not being consulted.” Illinois and the other states in the Midwest are not doing a good job in terms of identifying invasive plants and consolidating them on one list, she said. Quinn said that they hope to bring awareness to the discrepancies between the two lists, and ideally to reform those lists so that plant species that are invasive in natural areas are included. “There isn’t a lot of protection for natural areas against invasive species despite the fact that there is an executive order requiring federal agencies to prevent continued on page C35
Recommendations so biofuel plants don’t become weeds continued from page c34
and control invasive species. Unfortunately, there’s not a lot of enforcement,” Quinn said. Quinn’s job at the University of Illinois’s Energy Biosciences Institute has been to investigate the potential for invasiveness in new non-native crops that are being developed for biofuels. “I’ve been looking at how they are likely to disperse in the environment and whether they are able to establish in areas outside of cultivation,” she said. Will the team’s recommendations threaten the development of new biofuels crops? Endres said no, that the recommendations offer protection for the industry rather than punishment. “The biggest threat to the biofuels industry is unsubstantiated accusations whether they relate to greenhouse gas savings or individuals claiming that new biomass varieties will all be invasive species,” Endres said. “And to the extent that the industry has a solid regulation that governs it, it creates certainty within the industry, which then allows them to invest the billions of dollars it’s going to take to do this. “But when you have regulatory uncertainty, with 50 states each doing their own thing, those are barriers to the expansion of the industry,” Endres said. “The big developers, who are responsible players in the industry, would be in favor of this regulation as long as it’s science based and legitimate. They don’t want individuals to be able to go to their local weed commissioner and complain ‘my neighbor is going to plant Miscanthus and I heard on the Internet somewhere that it’s invasive,’ and it gets added to the state’s noxious weed list. That’s not a good way to do business and to develop a new industrial model.” Endres said that developers also do not want to spend a lot of money to commercialize a biofuels plant that’s going to cause trouble later on—they want to do that analysis beforehand and decide which plants to invest more money into. Quinn said, “We want to encourage developers to commercialize only those species that will carry a low risk of invasion. During their research and development phase, they would petition the invasive species council to do the weed risk assessment on the plant that they’re proposing. If it’s not high risk, then they can do field trials to rule out invasiveness. This due diligence not only protects the environment but also protects developers from potential losses due to findings of negligence down the road. Our plan gives them an opportunity to develop something safe early in the process,” she said. Quinn said that biofuels crops such as Miscanthus would be subject to the list. The current cultivars that are being sold for production are sterile, but new hybrids that are being developed are fertile, so Quinn said there could be the potential for confusion. “We want to shift developers’ incentives to make sure that they’re doing an assessment of the invasiveness before they go too far down the development stage and we have another kudzu on our hands,” Endres said. Quinn, who is a postdoctoral research associate at the Energy Biosciences Institute at the University of Illinois, conducted the research along with James McCubbins and A. Bryan Endres, both U of I attorneys who specialize in agricultural law, and Jacob Barney, a weed scientist at Virginia Tech. “Navigating the ‘Noxious’ and ‘Invasive’ Regulatory Landscape: Suggestions for Improved Regulation” was published in the February issue of Biosciences. The research was funded by the Energy Biosciences Institute.
Crowded lilacs
By Ron Smith, Horticulturist, NDSU Extension Service Q: We have a local resident that has some lilacs that seem to be dying. The upper branches are dying on a few of the bushes. The bushes appear to be very old. They also are in a very crowded space. There is a fence on one side, evergreen trees on two sides and more trees on the fourth side. Any ideas? You input is always appreciated. A: This is a good example of a survival of the species fight. At this point, the lilacs don’t stand a chance. They have been weakened by herbicide drift and are surrounded by superior and more vigorous species that are intercepting the resources for survival such as light, water and nutrients. My suggestion is to put the lilacs out of their misery and allow the other species to occupy the space. For answers to general horticultural questions, go to http:// www.ag.ndsu.edu/horticulture.

Green patches on potatoes By Ron Smith, Horticulturist NDSU Extension Service
Q: Is it safe to eat potatoes that have green patches on them? I always thought this was from exposure to the sun, but many of my Yukon gold potatoes had this problem even though they were several inches under the soil. A: The green coloration is from the chlorophyll that manifests itself in the skin from exposure to light. As annoying as this is, if it is just a patch or two, you can cut that out and still consume the potato. I’d also sug-
gest storing them in a light-proof location, such as a pantry or paper bag, to get them back to the nongreen manifestation. Don’t put the potatoes in the vegetable crisper in the refrigerator because that tends to sweeten them to the extent that their taste is altered. Some folks don’t mind that characteristic, but I’ve found that potatoes will fare better if kept in a cool room and in the dark.

April 1 low elevation snowpack drags down statewide average Entering the month of March most basins around the state of Montana were near to slightly below normal, with the St. Mary-Milk River Basin having the highest percentage of basin normal at 108 percent, and the Bitterroot River Basin with the lowest percentage at 85 percent, according to snow survey data from the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS). Through the month, the weather patterns continued to favor the northern basins in the state while the central and southern parts of the state experienced long periods of high pressure, which led to above average temperatures and below average precipitation. Central and southern basins saw a 3 to 9 percent decrease in basin percentage of normal while the basins in northern Montana saw a 4 to 7 percent gain in basin percentage of normal. As of April 1, the St. Mary-Milk River Basin continues to have the highest percentage of normal at 106 percent, and the Bitterroot River Basin continues to be the lowest at 84 percent. “Overall, the variability in the weather patterns across the state balanced
out during the month of March changing the statewide percentage of normal only 1 percent below where it was just a month ago on March 1,” said Brian Domonkos, NRCS water supply specialist. “That slight change brought the state to 92 percent of normal.” Snowpack typically reaches its maximum during the month of April so weather in April has a big impact on the timing and volume of stream flows through the spring and into the summer. According to NRCS, warm weather experienced during the end of the month of March has begun to melt low-elevation snowpacks in most parts of the state. “The mid and upper elevations are still holding on, but are slowly beginning to trend in this direction,” Domonkos said. “Continued warm weather will most likely continue to change the snowpack at these elevations to isothermal, starting the larger scale runoff process.” The mid and upper elevations of the basins yield the bulk of the water supply across the state, so continued monitoring of the snowpack will be required to determine the timing and volume of this year’s runoff.
For detailed snowpack information go to: http://www.wcc.nrcs.usda.gov/ftpref/ data/snow/basin_reports/montana/wy2013/ basnmt4.txt Given the current snowpack in place and near normal future precipitation and temperatures, streamflows are predicted to be below average in most basins this sea-
son. The table below provides normalized streamflow forecasts for each basin. The averaged river basin streamflow forecasts for April 1 through July 31 follows. These forecasts assume near normal moisture and runoff conditions April through July.

Beneficial compounds in whole-grain rice varieties
By Rosalie Marion Bliss, Agricultural Research Service U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) scientists and cooperators have provided knowledge about the chemical composition and potential bioavailability of nutritious compounds in a representative group of five colorful rice varieties. The findings could help breeders select for these traits from among 18,000 rice samples, called accessions, at the National Small Grains Collection in Aberdeen, Idaho. Though often thought of as white or brown, rice is categorized into seven color classes, based on bran color, and darker varieties are thought to have higher amounts of some phytochemical compounds than lighter varieties. The studies were headed by research chemist Ming-Hsuan Chen at the Agricultural Research Service (ARS) Dale Bumpers National Rice Research Center in Stuttgart, Arkansas. ARS is USDA’s chief intramural scientific research agency, and this research supports the USDA priority of promoting international food security. Rice bran, an outer layer of whole grain rice, is a rich source of the phytochemical known as gamma-oryzanol, and of two forms of vitamin E—tocopherols and tocotrienols. These nutritional compounds have been linked to preventing oxidative damage in foods and to having a wide spectrum of biological activities that could be beneficial to human health. The team used analytical methods to determine the profiles of tocopherols, tocotrienols and gamma-oryzanol in white, light brown, brown, red, and purple bran. They found a wide variation in the concentrations of the two forms of vitamin E and of gamma-oryzanol. The team also analyzed other phytochemicals—specifically phenolics and flavonoids—in the same five color classes of bran. The study showed that the red and purple rice brans had higher phenolic and flavonoid concentrations than the lighter-colored rice brans measured. The researchers also identified one purple rice bran variety that was both high in phenolic compounds as well as vitamin E and oryzanols. The study findings were published in the Journal of Food Science and in Food Chemistry.

Soil parasite costs Northwest wheat growers
By Daniel Robison, OSU Extension Public Service Communications Specialist A microscopic parasitic roundworm is costing Pacific Northwest wheat growers $51 million in lost revenue each year because it’s cutting grain yields by an average of about 5 percent, according to estimates by Oregon State University (OSU) researchers. Called the root-lesion nematode, the transparent, eelshaped roundworm lives in the soil and feeds on the roots of wheat, barley, oats and many other crops. This limits the crops’ ability to take up nutrients and water, leaving plants with smaller heads and yellowed leaves. “The presence of nematodes is usually confused with root rot, viruses or lack of nutrition because the effect on crops looks the same,” said Dick Smiley, a plant pathologist at OSU’s Columbia Basin Agricultural Research Center in Pendleton. “But nematodes often go undetected because they’re not well-known, and they’re transparent and thinner than a human hair.” Researchers have detected the root-lesion nematode in about 90 percent of fields sampled in Idaho, Montana, Oregon, and Washington, according to Smiley, who has studied the pest since 1999. Population densities of nematodes high enough to reduce yields have been detected in 60 percent of fields sampled in Oregon and Washington. The roundworm wreaks the most havoc in drier areas where wheat and barley grow. Most nematodes are beneficial to agriculture by helping decompose organic matter. Some, however, are parasitic to plants or animals. They spread easily, hitchhiking to new locations via the wind, animals, farm equipment and boots. It’s nearly impossible to eradicate them once they’re established. Another harmful roundworm, the cereal cyst nematode, is also damaging wheat, barley and oats in the Pacific Northwest. First identified in western Oregon in 1974, it is now found in eight western states. Wheat farmers in Idaho, Oregon and Washington are estimated to lose $3.4 million in revenue each year to cereal cyst nematodes, according to OSU calculations. Researchers arrived at the figure by considering a range of factors, including the percentage of fields infested with damaging densities of nematodes, as well as the yields and farmgate value for crops in these infested areas. OSU scientists are studying crop management strategies to mitigate the worms’ impact. The most effective tactic they’ve found is a three-year crop rotation where farmers skip two years between wheat plantings. Rotations vary depending upon which nematode is causing problems. Root-lesion nematodes are well-managed by planting winter wheat the first year and spring barley the second year and then letting the field go fallow the third year. Cereal cyst nematodes are best managed by rotating wheat or barley with broadleaf crops. Crop damage can also be alleviated to a limited extent by applying extra fertilizer and water. There are no chemicals legally available for wheat and barley growers to kill the two types of nematodes. OSU researchers have also tested more than 20 wheat, barley and oat cultivars to determine how badly yields are reduced. Most Pacific Northwest wheat varieties don’t resist harmful nematodes. In OSU’s tests, nearly every variety suffered severe root injury. Only the hard red spring wheat WB-Rockland prevented cereal cyst nematodes from reproducing while also maintaining consistent yields. UI Stone, a soft white spring wheat, and Buck Pronto, a hard red spring wheat, allowed nematode populations to thrive but still produced a steady crop. Additionally, University of Idaho, Washington State University, U.S. Department of Agriculture, and commercial wheat breeders are crossing sources of resistance with a number of wheat varieties to create new cultivars that can potentially stand up to the cereal cyst and root-lesion nematodes. OSU researchers recommend growers have their soil tested for nematodes. Addresses for testing labs, as well as information about management strategies for farmers, are available in two OSU Extension factsheets at http://bit.ly/ OSU_ExtBulletin3 and http://bit.ly/OSU_ExtBulletin2. The U.S. Department of Agriculture, Washington State University and the University of Idaho are collaborators with OSU on its cereal cyst nematode research.

Licensee sought to commercialize new variety
By CAHNRS and WSU Extension Washington State University (WSU) has released a new apple cultivar, “WA 38,” an eye-catching, large, dark red apple with a remarkably firm, crisp and juicy texture that also stores well. The apple has outstanding eating quality, exceptional flavor, ample sweetness and sufficient tartness to impart real character. “Our feeling is that, when it comes to the combination of taste, texture and beauty, ‘WA 38’ has no equal in today’s marketplace,” said WSU apple breeder Kate Evans. The WSU Research Foundation (WSURF), the licensing arm of WSU and assigned owner of WA 38, desires to find, through an announcement of opportunity (AOO), an exclusive licensee to manage commercialization of the apple. This would include contracting tree propagation to nurseries and others, sublicensing to growers, managing trademark, collecting royalties, etc. WSU is not looking for the licensee to be involved in sales and marketing of the fruit produced by the WA 38 trees or assistance in naming the trademark. A trademark is under development. WSURF seeks proposals from qualified offerors: individuals, individual companies, groups of companies, cooperatives, groups of individuals and/or companies banding together under a cooperative arrangement, etc. To obtain a copy of the AOO, please download a copy at the website http://treefruit.wsu.edu/research/.

delights old-timers who grew up farming with draft horses, Montanans who still use them, and approximately 20 students who drive horses as part of a group affiliated with the MSU Horseman’s Club, Shockley said. Over the course of this school year, the MSU Driving Team carried MSU President Waded Cruzado and College of Agriculture dignitaries from the fieldhouse to the football stadium for home football games. The team hauled Brandy and Star to the Bozeman Christmas Stroll, decorated them and had them pose for photos. The team competed in the Wild West WinterFest, where Anna Marie Downen and Brianna Jones (driving Snip and Tuck) won reserve champion in the Top Teamster-Novice category, second place in the Log Skid-Novice category and third place in the Precision Driving-Novice category. Ames and Sandy Archer, driving Brandy and Star, won third place in two categories: Cultivating-Novice and Log Skid – Novice.
Students on MSU’s Driving Team come from all over Montana and the United States. Ames, for one, grew up in Seattle. Now a junior majoring in equine science, he had experience in dressage, but he had never driven a team of horses before coming to MSU. Looking for a challenge, he signed up. “It’s been really fun,” he said. “Everyone is super chill. I love the team.” Heinemann said she was inspired to join because of a friend who used to belong to a driving team in Dillon. “She always had so much fun that I wanted to try it,” Heinemann said. “I did it, and I love it.” Amanda Riter of Broadus, a senior majoring in ag relations and animal science, plans to become a train master with BNSF Railway, but she started driving horses after her second semester at MSU. “Anyone is welcome,” Shockley said.

‘Eat Smart. Play Hard.’ poster contest winners
By NDSU Extension Service North Dakota youth displayed their creativity and health and nutrition knowledge this spring in the seventh annual North Dakota “Eat Smart. Play Hard.” poster contest. The North Dakota State University (NDSU) Extension Service, North Dakota Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, and NDSU Center for 4-H Youth Development co-sponsored the poster contest, which was open to youth age 8 to 19. Entrants competed in two categories: preteen and teen. Besides promoting healthful eating and regular physical activity, this year’s contest entrants were encouraged to include messages about heart health. The winners in the preteen category were: • First place – McKenna Taylor, Valley City • Second place – Lexi Ondracek, Valley City • Third place – Annie Manstrom, Wyndmere The winners of the teen category were: • First place – Megan Tichy, Tower City • Second place – Evan Sayler, Bismarck • Third place – Shailyn Sutherland, Dawson Winners received $50 for first place, $35 for second place and $15 for third place. In addition, all contestants received a certificate of recognition and an “Eat Smart. Play Hard.” item. “The poster contest entrants always have creative approaches for promoting healthful eating and fitness,” says NDSU Extension Service food and nutrition specialist Julie Garden-Robinson, who helped organize the contest. “We hope that their messages and pictures inspire other children and families to eat smart and play hard.” “Eat Smart. Play Hard.” is an initiative of the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food and Nutrition Service. It aims to make America’s children healthier by providing practical suggestions to motivate kids and their caregivers to eat a healthful diet and be physically active. The NDSU Extension Service and Bison Athletics launched a statewide campaign of the same name in 2005. Visit http://www.ndsu.edu/eatsmart for more information about “Eat Smart. Play Hard.” The site has resources for families, singles, teens and children.

By Brandon Greet, a UW Extension educator based in Washakie County With cold, snow, sickness, dystocia, and all the other excitement of calving season, there is plenty to worry about; however, a rancher in Wyoming can never forget about nutrition. Nutrition of herd dams should never be put to the side, especially during calving season. Cattle need plenty of feed to produce milk for their young, but sometimes hay and pasture just don’t have everything a cow needs. Phosphorus (P) is not always present in feed, but P is an important nutrient for cows – especially lactating cows. It affects bone strength, energy metabolism, feed efficiency, milk production, and breeding. P is also becoming more important to the cattle industry because, while cows need enough P for everything just listed, P is being carefully examined as a pollutant. Excess P is excreted in the feces of cattle, and more and more people are looking at this possible source of pollution. Oversupplementation leads to excess phosphorus being released into the environment, and that’s your money being passed into the environment as a pollutant. Most Important Nutrient Deficiency According to the International Plant Nutrition Institute, P deficiency is the most widespread and economically important nutrient deficiency affecting grazing livestock. Forages and soils oftentimes have inadequate amounts of P. Symptoms of P deficiency include decreased appetite, reduced rate of gain, reduced feed efficiency, decreased milk production, and unusual food cravings such as wood, hair, and soil. Cattle can usually compensate for short-term deficiencies. They have the ability to pull phosphorus from tissues and bones (80 percent of P is stored in bones) when necessary. If deficiencies become long-term, the problem becomes more severe and skeletal weakness occurs. Many Factors Affect Absorption Like everything having to do with cattle, P absorption is not simple. Absorption is affected by a number of factors, including P source, intestinal pH, age of the animal, and dietary levels of calcium, iron, aluminum, manganese, potassium, magnesium, and fat. The simplest thing producers can do is ensuring adequate P is available to their cattle. Think about what cows will need. Calcium (Ca) and P are important components of milk. Both need to be readily available for consumption. A 1,200-pound cow in the first three to four months of lactation making 10 pounds of milk/ day requires P at about 0.22 percent of dry matter/day. That would be 0.8 ounces/day on a ration of 23 pounds dry matter/ day. Keep the ratio of Ca:P between 2:1 and 1:1 for proper nutrient balance. Know Your Feed Creating this type of ration requires knowledge of your feed. This is another reason to get feed tested. Rations that include high quality feeds or concentrates are less likely to require high levels of P supplementation. A great way to supplement P levels is through trace mineral supplements. These vary largely, and you must find the supplement that fits your feeding program and your budget. You aren’t just trying to have good lactating cows, but also cows that will rebreed in several months. P not only enhances calving rates and calf growth rates, it enhances reproductive performance – proper P has been shown to increase rebreeding efficiency. P-deficient cows have shown irregular estrus periods, infertility, and anestrus. Bulls Also Require Good Phosphorus Levels Don’t forget about bulls. You rely on herd sires for next year’s calf crop. A 2,000-pound bull needs 0.21 percent P in a diet (just over 1 ounce/day of P in 31.3 pounds of dry matter/day) to maintain or slightly increase body condition. Focusing on the calves hitting the ground and making sure they are warm and eating is easy but don’t forget about what goes into the cows so those calves grow properly and that there is a good calf crop next year. ##### An elderly woman decided to prepare her will and told her preacher she had two final requests. First, she wanted to be cremated, and second, she wanted her ashes scattered over the grocery store. “The grocery store?” the preacher exclaimed. “Why the grocery store?” She replied, “I want to be sure my daughers will visit me twice a week.”
Soil moisture proves crucial to successful gardens
By University of Nebraska-Lincoln IANR The time has come to get vegetable gardens ready for planting, and the ongoing drought could mean more work to prepare soil. Thorough and even soil moisture could make all the difference in a successful garden. University of NebraskaLincoln (UNL) Extension educator David Lott recommends testing the soil and maximizing water transport to ensure that the soil will yield healthy crops. “When we think of vegetable crops, we have critical periods that we have to have adequate moisture,” he said. “So we have to be thinking about a two to three week period before harvest and then right at harvest.” This time is critical for plant and vegetable crop development and maturity, Lott said. If the soil moisture is inadequate, produce may not develop correctly or uniformly. Expected size, uniformity and taste may not be achieved. In some cases, inadequate moisture can lead to the drop of blossoms and early developing produce. Before making any changes, gardeners can test the moisture in their soil with spades, screwdrivers, rebar or other similar items. Insert the item into the soil and mark the level at which it hits dry soil. If the ground is moisturized at a minimum of six inches deep, it should be ready for planting. Lott said that moisture at levels as deep as one foot would be even better in most soils. “People think they’ll just let the water run everywhere for a few minutes and they’re good,” Lott said. “But the big thing is infiltration level.” Lott said it is crucial to get moisture moving through garden soils, particularly following a year as dry as 2012. Sandy soils or clay do not transport water efficiently, so gardeners should incorporate some organic matter such as compost or decomposed hay or straw with a spade or potato fork. In clay soils, adding this material will break up the soil’s density and increase drainage. It will also increase the water holding capacity of sandy soils. Consistent and even watering is also key to healthy vegetables. Too much variation in soil moisture throughout the garden can result in disease like blossom end rot in tomatoes. Refer to NebGuide G1752, “Blossom End Rot in Tomatoes,” available at a local UNL Extension office or online, for more information on preventing this disease. For soil that is sufficiently saturated, mulch or row covers can cut down on weed pressure and moisture loss. Gardeners should also pay attention to the spacing of their plants. “We want to maximize growth but also have a decent plant canopy because that will reduce soil temperature and moisture loss,” Lott said. Recommended spacing for lettuce, for example, is 10 to 14 inches within a row and 16 to 24 inches between rows. For potatoes it is six to 12 inches within a row and 30 to 42 inches between rows. Lott suggests referring to “Knott’s Handbook for Vegetable Growers” by Donald Maynard and George Hochmuth for spacing recommendations.

Accelerate your potential in the beef industry with the beefSD program By Janna Kincheloe, SDSU Extension Research Associate II
SDSU Extension is excited to announce that a second class of the beefSD program will begin soon; beefSD is an educational program for beginning beef producers designed to give participants an opportunity to expand their knowledge of the cattle industry as a whole, evaluate various production systems, and develop goals and management plans for their beef business. The original beefSD class was a three-year program initiated in 2011, with participants from 30 operations across the state. Class I will be complete in August, and a new group of participants will begin Class II of beefSD, which will be held over the next two years. The following are several quotes from current beefSD Class I participants indicating their view of the value of the program: • “The most important thing I have gained from beefSD is learning to be open minded, listen to other people’s points of view and realize there is a whole big world out there outside of South Dakota. I really have come to believe that beefSD or a similar program should be encouraged to all producers to help them see the big picture.” • “I believe that being part of this program has opened my eyes to all kinds of possibilities, opportunities, and solutions for my future in the beef cattle industry.” • “Being able to connect with someone who has more experience in this industry, ask them questions, and learn from their experiences is invaluable. There are many ways to be profitable in this industry if you are willing to take a few risks and try something new.” Program Overview beefSD is designed to give participants a highly interactive and hands-on learning experience that will help them be successful. Workshops will provide in-depth knowledge of the beef industry in South Dakota. Tours of case-study ranches will be held to help participants understand alternative production and management practices associated with backgrounding, retained ownership, grass-fed, and seedstock production. Beyond the four case-study tours, multiple production and risk management topics will be discussed. Class II participants will be given the opportunity to enroll some of their own cattle in a post-weaning calf performance evaluation. This will be offered to provide participants with feedlot performance and carcass data on their cattle to use in making management and marketing decisions. A key component of Class II is the development of mentoring relationships with successful ranchers and industry professionals. These mentors will be resources
in forming individual management teams that will assist participants in identifying goals and opportunities for their operation and making progress on their goals. Participants will interact throughout the program with various types of web-based technology, including a social networking site, webinars, and podcasts. Study Trips Participants in beefSD will also get the opportunity to expand their view of the beef industry with two out-of-state travel study trips. The first trip is scheduled for the summer of 2014, and will take producers to Chicago. Tour stops will include an Upper Midwest cattle feeding operation, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, and an in-depth look at various marketing opportunities, including urban grocery stores, meat wholesalers, farmer’s markets, an upscale restaurant, and export markets. The second trip will be held in the summer of 2015 and will include stops in Nebraska, Colorado, and Kansas, with a focus on post-weaning production. Tour stops will include large commercial feedlots, a processing plant, an elite seedstock producer, a replacement heifer development enterprise, a visit to the Cattlemen’s Beef Board Culinary Kitchen, and meetings with various cattle industry representatives (to include CattleFax, U.S. Premium Beef, and low-stress livestock handling and facility design expert Temple Grandin). Applying for beefSD Class space will be limited to representatives from up to 20 beef enterprises (individuals, couples or two siblings are welcome to apply to represent one operation). All beef producers are encouraged to apply; however, applications from beginning ranchers with less than 10 years of experience will be given preference. Don’t miss this opportunity to further develop management skills, network with other producers, travel, and increase knowledge and understanding of all aspects of the beef industry. Application forms will be available the first week of May on the South Dakota Farm Bureau website (http://www.sdfbf.org/).

Agland values up again, but trend may reverse in next year By University of Nebraska-Lincoln IANR
Despite an extreme drought and indicators of weaker agricultural earnings on the horizon, Nebraska’s agricultural land markets remain strong, with an overall increase of 25 percent in the last year, according to preliminary findings from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln (UNL). Following the advances of 22 and 32 percent in the previous two years, the 2013 all-land value of $3,040 per acre is more than double the value in early 2010. “Few would disagree that this period has clearly been a land boom,” said UNL agricultural economist Bruce Johnson, who leads the annual Nebraska Farm Real Estate Market Developments survey. Survey reporters across the state reported percentage gains for all the farmland classes for the period from February 1, 2012 to February 1, 2013, but “the variation across the classes as well as across sub-state regions was extreme,” Johnson said. Drought conditions in 2012 lifted market demand for irrigated cropland, Johnson said, as irrigated land classes had the largest percentage value gains across the state. “Income flows from irrigated land have been phenomenal in recent years, and 2012 was no exception,” he said. “The combination of favorable irrigated yields while widespread drought was seen across the nation’s Corn Belt fueled high crop commodity prices.” In the southern parts of Nebraska (Southwest, South, and Southeast districts) the percentage value advances for irrigated land were particularly strong over the past year. For dryland cropland values, the percentage increases over the past year varied greatly across the state. In the Northwest and North districts, the value gains were below 10 percent, while reported values were more than 30 percent higher in the South and Southeast districts. The land class, dryland cropland with irrigation potential, shows considerable variation as well. The presence of water moratoriums across much of the state precludes irrigation development even if groundwater sources exist. Despite the heavy toll of drought that cut forage capacity as much as 50 percent or more during the 2012 grazing season, grazing land value values still rose, Johnson said. “Forage shortfalls for cattlemen may have actually caused a more spirited bidding for additional land just to maintain their cow herd numbers,” he added. “Unfortunately, even if the drought ends quickly, it may be several years before grazing capacity may be able to return to pre-drought levels.” Survey reporters “frequently commented
that current land prices being paid seem over-optimistic,” Johnson said. “In turn, when asked what they expected land value movements to be for the remainder of 2013 as well as out three to five years, the vast majority saw a market which had topped out with little if any upward movement in the near future. “In fact, a sizable number of reporters thought values could weaken somewhat in the next few years,” he added. Survey reporters also indicated that 2013 cash rental rates for cropland were up from 2012 levels. Preliminary estimates for dryland cropland cash rents in eastern Nebraska averaged about 8 percent above a year ago, while rates in the rest of the state rose 5 percent or less. The increase was much below the annual rises of the past few years, reflecting the seriousness of soil moisture deficits going into the 2013 crop year. Across the state, center pivot irrigated cropland cash rental rates for 2013 were reportedly 13 to 15 percent above a year earlier. Reported rates for the high-third quality center pivot cropland were over $400 per acre across the eastern third of the state. The value of water in rain-deficit periods, particularly with the efficiency of the center pivot technology, is clearly being reflected in these rates. Pasture land rates on a per-acre basis moved upward for 2013 in most regions of the state. Last year’s forage production shortfalls with depleted carry-over stocks into this year have sharpened the market for pasture, even though the potential grazing output will very likely be below normal for the year. On a cow-calf pair per month basis, the rates were up from a year earlier in all regions with most districts showing gains in the 3 to 6 percent range. Comparing the recent percentage gains in value of agricultural land classes with the associated lower percentage gains in cash rental rates indicate a continuing pattern of lower rent-to-value ratios associated with all farmland classes, Johnson said. “At some point, the implied economic returns to land as a percent of value can fall to a point where market participants say ‘enough’ and no longer bid values higher,” he said. “Here in Nebraska, we well may be quickly approaching that point.” The findings in this report are preliminary. A final report will be released this summer. More information, including tables showing details of average land values for all classes of land, is at www.agecon.unl. edu.

200 bushels of corn with only 12 inches of irrigation
427 Second Street South Great Falls, MT 406-727-2203
www.gerbersofmontana.com
Open 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, Monday - Friday
Three years of a research study to determine if 200 bushels of corn can be produced with a maximum of 12 inches of added irrigation water has one conclusion – not in normal or lower-than-average rainfall years. Texas A&M AgriLife Research has completed a limited-irrigation 12-200 corn production assessment study at the North Plains Research Field near Etter in conjunction with the North Plains Groundwater Conservation District in Dumas. The study’s purpose was to evaluate the field-based potential of producing 200 bushels of grain corn using only 12 pumped inches of irrigation water per acre, said Thomas Marek of Amarillo, AgriLife Research irrigation engineer and North Plains Research Field superintendent. “We used the best management techniques we knew at the time to try to accomplish the targeted production goal,” Marek said. The multi-year effort was a team approach involving support from AgriLife Research, the North Plains water district, U.S. Department of Agriculture-Agricultural Research Service water management unit at Bushland, the Ogallala Aquifer Program and the Texas Corn Producers Board. “We determined the probability of receiving the 10.5 inches of rainfall during the growing season needed to combine with the 12 inches of irrigation water to meet the crop’s needs for a 200-bushel per acre production is unlikely,” Marek said. Implementing a rigid water reduction measure to only 12 inches could have significant economic impact to producers, he said. The probability of receiving the necessary rainfall to supplement that irrigation and stored soil-profile water is less than 50 percent. “We wanted to collect this data so we could evaluate the feasibility of sustainable production and to address the economics of the production practice for producers, in case this effort was put into regulation,” Marek said. Results A partial budget analysis showed that on a 125-acre corn field, the estimated loss in net returns would be $2,390 in the best-case scenario. That is when only the 25 bushels per acre reduction is considered from full irrigation yields of 225 bushels per acre to the limited 200 bushels per acre. But if the producer applied the typical 22 inches of irrigation water and received the normal rainfall, production would be 250 bushels per acre. This would mean the potential loss could be as much as $21,450 for a 125-acre circle. If the rain doesn’t materialize, as in two of the past three years, yields are significantly reduced by the limit of 12 inches of irrigation water, and the economic loss could be tremendous for the corn producer, Marek said. While yields improved somewhat in 2012
over the 2011 season, he said, the three commercially available corn hybrids thought to be top producers only averaged 100 bushels an acre in 2012. The primary reason was the expected seasonal rainfall of 10.5 inches didn’t materialize – less than 6 inches fell during the growing season, Marek said. In spite of the results, the study was a success, Marek said. Not only did it disprove the capability of being able to sustainably produce 200 bushels per acre on such a limited-irrigation basis, it provided valuable data on limited irrigation water management and characteristic traits of the corn hybrids. “We think this three-year 12-200 study gained us extremely valuable data regarding previously unknown data portions of the corn production function for the region,” Marek said. “Much of the characterization information regarding the specific varieties can potentially be related to other ‘families of corn hybrids’ and to those being developed.” For instance, he said, the data gathered indicated that one of the varieties had a tendency to be a better forage variety than a grain-producing variety. Several production management practices were determined as being key factors during the course of the study also, Marek said. They include: • Irrigation depth per application generally should be increased to the point that application runoff either does not occur or is minimal to reduce soil evaporation losses, but should be limited to depleted water within the soil root zone profile. • Upper soil profile cracking should be managed to the degree possible with irrigation applications and allow for maximum opportunity regarding rapid infiltration potential should a large rainfall event occur. • Delayed corn planting should be implemented to shift the peak corn evapotranspiration requirement and to take advantage of reduced evapotranspiration requirements typical in the early fall period. Marek said this study showed the potential range of climatic conditions that can and do occur in this region and how they can impact production. “The policy and regulatory insight towards both the cost to producers and benefit to water conservation cannot be overstated,” he said. “The data derived from this and other similar research and demonstration efforts strongly support sensible groundwater regulations and rules of water conservation management, not only for the region but throughout the western U.S.” Marek said more limited irrigation research is needed “as we utilize the Ogallala Aquifer to support our regional economy. Next, we should further study rainfall probabilities needed for sustained limited-irrigation corn production, since corn accounts for over 60 percent of the agricultural water used within the region.”

Swine Skill-a-thon: Meats station
By Megan Nielson, SDSU Extension Youth Livestock Field Specialist Youth who raise pigs for show are taught where and how to give necessary injections as part of following good production practices outlined in Youth Pork Quality Assurance Plus. Understanding animal well being, through proper animal handling techniques, is also a vital part in preparing youth who exhibit pigs at a fair. These management practices look after the best interest of the pig; however, they are also to ensure a safe and wholesome pork product for consumers. Kids who exhibit pigs should understand why certain production practices are followed due to the effects on pork quality. This starts with learning the parts of a pork carcass. About Wholesale Pork Cuts When a pig goes to market and becomes pork, the carcass is broken down into wholesale cuts that are marketed to grocery stores or meat processors to be further processed or cut into retail cuts before being sold to consumers. Wholesale cuts vary in the amount of muscle and fat as well as tenderness. This leads to some wholesale cuts being more valuable than others. A pork carcass is broken down into five main wholesale cuts: the Belly, the Boston Butt, the Ham, the Loin, and the Picnic Shoulder. The most valuable or most expensive region is the belly; this is where bacon and spare ribs come from. The next most valuable region is the loin followed by the Boston Butt (most commonly used in pulled pork), and then the ham. The least valuable wholesale cut is the picnic shoulder. This area is usually cut into trim by meat processors and used for sausage or more famously used in SPAM. Understanding how each region of the carcass has value helps put things into perspective for why certain production practices are followed. Injections should be given in the neck of the animal where there is less carcass value. The amount of space in a pen for a pig should be considered to avoid animals fighting and bruising one another. The importance of minimizing stress on a pig when trying to move them is due to the effect stress has on pork quality and processing. Even a judge in a show takes into consideration the carcass value of an animal based on the amount muscle, fat, and weight the pig exhibits.

Late planting of small grains
By Jim Stordahl, Clearwater/Polk County Extension Service, Minnesota
What a contrast to last year. The biggest question last April was if it was too early to plant soybean; the wheat was in the ground. This year, winter has been slow to yield to spring. As a general rule, delayed planting of small grains tends to reduce yield. As we wait patiently for the snow to melt and the soil to dry, the following information from Dr Jochum Wiersma, UM Small Grains Specialist, may help guide any adjustments with your planting intentions. Wheat, barley, and oat are cool season annuals and are most productive when they grow and develop during cool weather.
The yield potential of a crop is largely determined by the 6 leaf stage. Cool temperatures during this period are particularly important for the development of a high yield potential. For example, the number of tillers that ultimately produce grain at harvest declines as planting is delayed (Figure 1). The number of spikelets per spike is determined during the 4 to 5.5 leaf stage (Figure 2). Spikelet numbers are negatively correlated with temperature; spikelet numbers are greater when temperatures during the 4-5.5 leaf stages are cool.

Figure 2 - The effect of maximum daily temperatures on the number of spikelets per spike that are initiated between the 4 and 5.5 leaf stage of spring wheat in Langdon, ND (data and graph courtesy of Terry Gregoire, Area Agronomist, NDSU).
Because of the expectation that average temperatures will be higher as we plant later, development of the crop will speed up too. The number of heat units required for a plant to move to the next phase of development will accumulate faster. This forces development along faster and causes the plant to have less time to grow. Plants end up with fewer tillers, smaller heads, and fewer and smaller kernels per head, cutting into our yields. To improve the odds of high grain yields is to ensure that the tillering and head initiation phases occur during relatively cool temperatures is by planting early. Early planting is pivotal in this regard (Table 1) Research has shown that, on average, yields decreased 1% per day when planting is delayed past the optimum planting date. Planting after the last possible date is not recommended because the odds that grain yield and quality (test weight) will
be dramatically reduced due to heat stress. You can partially offset this yield loss by increasing the seeding rate and ensuring that you have more main stems per unit area. The recommendation is to increase the seeding rate by 1 percent for every day after the optimum planting window. The last possible date for planting is not chiseled in stone. The chances of a profitable crop just drop because of the anticipated weather and temperatures later during the growing season. Past the last possible date, you may want to consider an alternative crop, though economic reality might prevent this. If you stay with small grains past that date you will have to hope for a cool and dry summer. For more information, contact me at 800-450-2465 or stordahl@umn.edu.

The American wind industry experienced record-breaking growth in 2012 as a U.S. power provider. American wind power’s generation shot up 17 percent last year, and produced more than 10 percent of the electricity in nine states, up from five states in 2011. Those numbers are likely to continue growing as new investments and wind projects are announced. Across the country, wind energy produced 3.5 percent of the nation’s electricity during 2012, according to the Energy Information Admiration’s (EIA) latest figures. “With wind power serving as the number one source of new generating capacity in 2012, it’s no surprise that wind energy is increasing its role in the overall U.S. power mix,” said Elizabeth Salerno, Director of Industry Data & Analysis at the American Wind Energy Association (AWEA).
The growth in wind energy in the U.S. can also be seen in its increasing role in the generation mix of individual states. Iowa and South Dakota reached generation levels greater than 20 percent throughout the entire year of 2012. In a total of 14 states, American wind energy provides 5 percent or more of generation. Iowa was ranked first in wind generation, with 24.5% generation from wind energy. South Dakota was a close second with 23.9% generation from wind energy. North Dakota ranked third Minnesota closely followed, ranking fourth with over 14% wind energy generation. Kansas, which doubled its installation of wind power during 2012, jumped ahead to No. 5 position in wind generation, surpassing the 10% mark, reaching 11.4% generation from wind energy.

When gophers strip your hay or grain fields to the point that they’re not worth harvesting, Lee Schwartz decided something needed to be done. He built a gopher trap that worked so well, it is patented for Canada and the United States. Schwartz says that you can empty and reset a trap in four to five seconds. The GT2006 gopher trap is space efficient - you can carry 25 traps in a five gallon bucket. For best results, it is suggested you start at one end of your field and work your way across. If you don’t catch any gophers for a day or two, you should then cover the hole and proceed until you feel you’ve covered the area to your liking. If you have any questions, please call today.

“We are generating enough clean, affordable, American wind energy to power the equivalent of almost 15 million homes, or the number in Colorado, Iowa, Maryland, Michigan, Nevada, and Ohio combined,” continued Salerno. The geographic diversity and abundance of American wind installations is a reflection of the United States’ strong wind resource. In a 2010 study, the National Renewable Energy Laboratory reported over 10 million MW of wind resource in the U.S., enough to power the equivalent of the nation’s total electricity needs 10 times over. In fact, 25 states have enough wind potential to supply as much electricity as is currently generated from all energy sources in their state.

than 12,000 MW installed – over a fifth of the 60,000 MW in the United States at the end of last year. Overall, the U.S. wind energy industry had its strongest year ever in 2012, installing a record 13,124 megawatts (MW) of electric generating capacity, leveraging $25 billion in private investment, and achieving over 60,000 MW of cumulative wind capacity. In this historic year of achievement, wind energy for the first time became the number one source of new U.S. electric generating capacity, providing some 42 percent of all new generating capacity. Renewable energy as a whole accounted for over 55 percent of all new U.S. generating capacity in 2012. ##### As droughts caused by global warming bring livestock and wildlife into closer proximity as they compete for water, tuberculosis among both humans and animals is likely to increase.

Wind Power
Unlike yesteryear’s windmill, today’s wind turbines use technological innovations that have substantially reduced the cost of electricity generated from wind power. In the 1920s and ‘30s, farm families throughout the Midwest used wind to generate enough electricity to power their lights and electric motors. The use of wind power declined with the government subsidized construction of utility lines and fossil fuel power plants. However, the energy crisis in the 1970s and a growing concern for the environment have generated an interest in alternative, environmentally friendly energy resources. Today, homeowners in rural and remote locations across the nation are again examining wind power to provide electricity for their domestic needs. Benefits of Wind Power A wind energy system can provide a cushion against electric power price increases. Wind energy systems help reduce U.S. dependence on fossil fuels; and they are nonpolluting. If you live in a remote location, a small wind energy system could help you avoid the high costs of having utility power lines extended to your site. Although wind energy systems involve a significant initial investment, they can be competitive with conventional energy sources when you account for a lifetime of reduced or altogether avoided utility costs. The length of the payback period - the time before the savings resulting from your system equal the cost of the system itself - depends on the system you choose, the wind resource on your site, electricity costs in your area, and how you use your wind system. Is Wind Power Practical for You? Small wind energy systems can be used in connection with an electricity transmission and distribution system (called grid-connected systems), or in stand-alone applications that are not connected to the utility grid. A grid-connected wind turbine can reduce consumption of utility-supplied electricity for lighting, appliances, and electric heat. If the turbine cannot deliver the amount of energy you need, the utility makes up the difference. When the wind system produces more electricity than the household requires, the excess can be be returned to the grid. With the interconnections available today, switching takes place automatically. Stand-alone wind energy systems can be appropriate for homes, farms, or even entire communities (a co-housing project, for example) that are far from the nearest utility lines. Either type of system can be practical if the following conditions exist. Conditions for Stand-Alone Systems You live in an area with average annual wind speeds of at least 9 miles per hour (4.0 meters per second). A grid connection is not available or can only be made through an expensive extension. The cost of running a power line to a remote site to connect with the utility grid can be prohibitive, ranging from $15,000 to more than $50,000 per mile, depending on terrain. You have an interest in gaining energy independence from the utility. You would like to reduce the environmental impact of electricity production. You acknowledge the intermittent nature of wind power and have a strategy for using intermittent resources to meet your power needs. Conditions for Grid-Connected Systems You live in an area with average annual wind speeds of at least 10 miles per hour (4.5 meters per second). Utility-supplied electricity is expensive in your area (about 10 to 15 cents per kilowatt hour). The utility’s requirements for connecting your system to its grid are not prohibitively expensive. Local building codes or covenants allow you to legally erect a wind turbine on your property. You are comfortable with long-term investments. Net metering is available Is Your Site Right? The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has compiled wind resource maps that are available from Wind Powering America. DOE maps are good sources for regional information and can show whether wind speeds in your area are generally strong enough to justify investing in a wind system. Wind-turbine manufacturers can use computer models to predict machine performance at a specific location. They can also help size a system based on your electricity needs and the specific local wind patterns. However, you will need sitespecific data to determine the wind resource of your exact location. If you do not have on-site data and want to obtain a clearer, more predictable picture of your wind resource, you may wish to measure wind speeds at your site for a year. You can do this with a recording anemometer, which generally costs $500 to $1,500. The most accurate readings continued on page C64

are taken at “hub height” (i.e., the elevation at the top of the tower where you will install the wind turbine). This requires placing the anemometer high enough to avoid turbulence created by trees, buildings, and other obstructions. The standard wind sensor height used to obtain data for the Department of Energy maps is 33 feet (10 meters). Maps available in the table at right give general information on the average wind resources available across the country and in Montana. Of course, the actual wind resource on your site will vary depending on such factors as typography and structure interference. You can have varied wind resources within the same property. If you live in complex terrain, take care in selecting the installation site. If you site your wind turbine on the top or on the windy side of a hill, for example, you will have more access to prevailing winds than in a gully or on the leeward (sheltered) side of a hill on the same property. Consider existing obstacles and plan for future obstructions, including trees and buildings, which could block the wind. Also realize that the power available in the wind increases proportionally to its speed (velocity) cubed (V3). This means that the amount of power you get from your generator goes up exponentially as the wind speed increases. For example, if your site has an annual average wind speed of about 12.6 miles per hour (5.6 meters per second), it has twice the energy available as a site with a 10 mile per hour (4.5 meter per second) average. Additional Considerations In addition to the factors listed previously, you should also: Research potential legal and environmental obstacles; Obtain cost and performance information from manufacturers; Perform a complete economic analysis that accounts for a multitude of factors; Understand the basics of a small wind system, and Review possibilities for combining your system with other energy sources, backups, and energy efficiency improvements. You should establish an energy budget to help define the size of turbine you will need. Since energy efficiency is usually less expensive than energy production, making your house more energy efficient first will likely result In being able to spend less money since you may need a smaller wind turbine to meet your needs. Before you invest any time and money, research potential legal and environmental obstacles to installing a wind system. Some jurisdictions restrict the height of the structures permitted in residentially zoned areas, although it’s often possible to obtain a variance. Your neighbors might object to a wind machine that blocks their view, or they might be concerned about noise. Consider obstacles that might block the wind in the future (large planned developments or saplings, for example). If you plan to connect the wind generator to your local utility company’s grid, find out its requirements for interconnections and buying electricity from small independent power producers. Pricing a System When you are confident that you can install a wind machine legally and without alienating your neighbors, you can begin pricing systems and components. Approach buying a wind system as you would any major purchase. Obtain and review the product literature from several manufacturers. Lists of manufacturers are available from AWEA. However, not all small turbine manufacturers are members of AWEA. Once you have narrowed the field, research a few companies to be sure they are recognized wind energy businesses and that parts and service will be available when you need them. Also, find out how long the warranty lasts and what it includes. Check out the list of Montana Renewable Energy Dealers to find companies that sell and service wind energy systems. Ask for references of customers with installations similar to the one you are considering. Ask system owners about performance, reliability, and maintenance and repair requirements, and whether the system is meeting their expectations. A residential wind energy system can be a good longterm investment. However, because circumstances such as electricity rates and interest rates vary, you need to decide whether purchasing a wind system is a smart financial move. Be sure you or your financial adviser conduct a thorough analysis before you buy a wind energy system. Montana offers a wind energy system personal tax credit for commercial, industrial, and residential users. The state allows a 35- percent tax credit for an individual, partnership or corporation that makes an investment of $5,000 or more continued on page c65
Tips on managing forage, water, and cattle resources
Trader’s Dispatch, May 2013 — Page C65
By B. Lynn Gordon, SDSU Extension Specialist Burke Teichert, Orem, Utah is no stranger to the beef industry. He was employed for many years in a management role with AgReserves (which consisted of Dessert Ranches, Rex Ranch, and several other large ranching enterprises). Experience runs deep with Teichert especially in the area of managing forages and cattle resources during difficult times such as droughts. In his presentation at the 20th Anniversary of Cattlemen’s College held in conjunction with the 2013 National Cattlemen’s Beef Association Convention and Trade Show, Tampa, Florida, February 6 -9th, he addressed important strategies producers should consider as a ranch manager or owner. Teichert emphasized ranch managers and owners should IN STOCK – On the lot Stock trailers remember they are managing production, marketing, manageReady to Sell ment, and financial sectors including the people that make it all work on the ranch. In challenging times such as drought, managers can’t let their emotions from the stress of the drought interfere with their daily management decisions. They must continue to manage wisely, Teichert said. In addition, managers much still focus on protecting the land, the cattle, and the people. Teichert said we often don’t focus enough on the people in these stressful situations. As the stress of a drought takes the toll on managers, owners, and employees of farms and ranches, it can begin to take an emotional toll on the people. This is primarily because of the fact that it brings out emotions in the people as they begin to worry about the many factors intertwined with a drought such as finances, overgrazing, the general well-being of the land, the cattle, and in some cases the decision to sell cattle off, after a ranch has built up years of genetics. Another challenge during drought or lack of moisture is the concern of accessing feedstuffs needed to maintain and feed the cowherd.

##### There were two lines leading into heaven. Over was a sign that read, “Henpecked Husbands,” and there was no end in sight for that line. The other line had a sign that read “Real He-Man,” but only one little old man was standing there. St. Peter walked over to the little gent and asked him why he was standing there. The little old man answered meekly, “Because my wife told me to.” ##### Church happenings: While the Ladies’ Club meets to work on their quilts, husbands are invited to hear a talk entitled “Be not afraid, thy Comforter is coming.”

RAO is a chronic inflammatory lung disease. It is especially prevalent during winter in horses kept in barns and Remember, It’s Never Too Early To Buy HAIL INSURANCE! fed hay. The researchers found that RAO-susceptible horses have much less SCGB1A1 protein in their airways, which enhances inflammation. Symptoms in horses with RAO resemble those of humans with environmentally induced asthma. The researchers found that two of the gene copies could play a significant role in treating RAO. The third copy has no recognized function and may have evolved into a pseudogene. Lead author Olivier Côté, a PhD candidate in the Department of Pathobiology, says the study could have larger implications than treating horses. “We’re able to use the horse as a model for asthma in humans,” said Côté. “We found through our research that horses suffering from RAO had reduced SCGB1A1 levels. Since an obvious suggestion for treating RAO is to increase protein levels of SCGB1A1, we made a synthetic version of it in the lab. We are currently testing the protein’s function. While it would not be possible to simply provide humans with this protein to reduce asthma, as humans and horses are different species, these findings do give hope that we can find novel treatments for asthma.” Study co-author Prof. Dorothee Bienzle said it was challenging to isolate and assess the individual genes. The researchers also faced challenges because of the unusual nature of the gene triplication. “Other mammals do not have multiple SCGB1A1 copWe offer insurance products through companies with ies, except for some other equidae, such as Przewalski’s extensive track records and solid financial backing. horses and donkeys,” she said. “So it is difficult to know where the gene came from. We can speculate that it was an evolutionary response that took place over many years. We don’t know why the pseudo-gene exists or what its purpose is. The distribution of the other two gene transcripts and proteins indicates they are extremely prevalent in the lung and reproductive organs.” Looking at 24 horses, the researchers found that one gene variant was about 2.5 times more prevalent than the second copy in most animals. In horses with RAO, that ratio sigOffice phone 434-5211, 234 Front Street, Shelby, MT nificantly increased, suggesting abnormal regulation of the Office phone 759-5150, 4 First Street West, Chester, MT two copies. “We hope that our finding will lead to improved treatment of horses with RAO,” said Côté. “Future studies will assess the function of different SCGB1A1 proteins and attempt to uncover their anti-inflammatory properties.

The Montana Wheat and Barley Committee recently held the annual budget meeting and the Board of Directors was able to review a record number of grant proposals pertaining to marketing, research, and education. There are so many important issues to be dealt with in the Montana small grains industry, including production issues, pest issues, overseas market development, and transportation to name just a few. Utilizing a projected assessment based on the USDA prospective plantings survey and using a five year yield average, Committee members prioritized the grant proposals based on the estimated budget for the coming harvest. Two important marketing programs, funded annually by the Montana Wheat and Barley Committee, are the U.S. Grain Council and U.S. Wheat Associates. Montana Wheat and Barley Committee partners with other grain states to fund these two programs that represent us in international markets across the globe. U.S. Grains Council The U.S. Grains Council develops export markets for U.S. barley, corn, grain sorghum and related products. The Council understands that exports are vital to global economic development and to U.S. agriculture’s profitability. Founded in 1960, the Council is a private, nonKolstad, second from right, was able to travel on a US Wheat Board trip to Latin America and meet with profit corporation with 10 international offices Chris several top members of Altex, the second largest flour mill in Mexico. and programs in more than 50 countries. The unique membership includes producer organizations and agribusinesses with a common interest in developing export markets. Membership funds are matched with market development funds from the U.S. government and support from cooperating groups in foreign countries to produce an annual program valued at more than $28 million. The Council tailors its programs to meet individual countries’ cultures and needs. Technical programs teach buyers how to use food and feed grains effectively and manage their operations efficiently. Trade servicing efforts educate potential and current customers about the U.S. marketing system, including financing, government programs, grain quality and pricing. Trade policy initiatives identify foreign barriers to U.S. grain exports. The MWBC is well-represented with Chairman Buzz Mattelin of District 1 and Bruce Myllymaki of District 5 serving as voting members. Montana is also very fortunate to have Don Fast, a former Montana Wheat and Barley Committee Chairman and District 2 representative, currently serving as Chairman of the U.S. Grains Council. U.S. Wheat Associates The mission of U.S. Wheat Associates (USW) is to develop, maintain, and expand international markets to enhance the profitability of U.S. wheat producers. This mission positions USW to address issues that affect the profitability of both producers and customers, focus on the future Former Montana Wheat and Barley Committee Director and US Wheat Chairwoman Janice Mattson passing the gavel of the industry, serve the needs of its members, and educate and assist international customers to after her year serving as the first ever Chair of US Wheat purchase U.S. wheat. Associates.
Financial support from U.S. wheat producer check-off dollars is managed by 19 state wheat commissions with cost-share funding provided by USDA’s Foreign Agricultural Service. This support ensures that USW has the resources needed to help overseas buyers understand the reliability and functional benefits of our milling wheat. USW maintains 15 offices strategically located around the world and two offices in the United States to pave the way for US export growth in durum, hard red spring, hard red winter, soft red winter, soft white, and hard white wheat. USW trade policy resources help secure open global competition with equitable and fair terms. These efforts are primarily focused on the federal government agencies that impact and regulate trade, as well as the World Trade Organization and non-governmental organizations involved in international food aid. The U.S. Wheat office in Manila, Philippines, recently celebrated 50 years of partnership with Filipino flour millers, bakers, and noodle manufacturers. Montana Wheat and Barley Committee was proud to support this event as the Philippines are the second largest importer of hard red spring wheat in the world, and we look forward to a continued relationship.

Quentin Burdick Center for Cooperatives By NDSU Extension Service
The CHS Foundation has contributed $300,000 to the North Dakota State University (NDSU) Quentin Burdick Center for Cooperatives. The funds will be utilized to expand the center’s capacity to fulfill the mission of education, research and outreach. The CHS Foundation is the major giving entity for CHS, an energy, grains and foods company. The Quentin Burdick Center for Cooperatives promotes education to college-age students about cooperatives. Students who become familiar with cooperatives are more prepared for careers in these cooperatives and are better able to fulfill their roles as members and directors. The CHS contribution will enable the center to expand the reach of graduate and undergraduate courses and improve efforts to develop and disseminate cooperative educational materials through electronic and social media sources. The center also conducts research that cooperatives can use to strengthen their operations and service to members. These funds will allow for expanded research capacity and heightened communication of research results that are beneficial to local cooperatives. “These funds will increase the ability of the Quentin Burdick Center for Cooperatives to improve the operations of existing cooperatives, promote the development of careers in cooperatives and extend our abil-

ity to provide education to the public and college-age students,” says Gregory McKee, Quentin Burdick Center for Cooperatives director. “Given the trends in the turnover of cooperative business employees and the increasing complexity of the markets in which cooperatives operate, an increased ability to achieve the objectives of the center could not be more timely.” NDSU President Dean L. Bresciani says CHS is an integral partner in research and education. “As a land-grant university that has been named one of the top 2 percent of all public and private institutions in the country, NDSU is well-suited to serve the needs of industry in the future,” Bresciani says. “The 20-plus years of center activities demonstrates the strength of NDSU’s commitment to providing research, education and outreach in support of this important model in the North Dakota economy.” “We are proud to invest in the Quentin Burdick Center for Cooperatives and its exceptional work in building understanding of cooperative business and promoting careers in cooperatives to the next generation of agricultural leaders,” says William Nelson, CHS Foundation president and Corporate Citizenship vice president. The CHS Foundation and Quentin Burdick Center for Cooperatives also were able to provide hands-on training and educational materials to the Zabul Agribusiness Development Team to promote and strengthen cooperatives in Zabul, Afghanistan. Development team member Cheryl Wachenheim, a professor in the Agribusiness and Applied Economics DeM-K Hoppers partment at NDSU, worked All Sizes with the southern Afghanistan director of Agriculture, All Custom Built Irrigation and Livestock and Kits Weld Together his staff, as well as key leaders of cooperative boards and Prefabs = 2 pieces traders. “It is impossible for me to New easy to build kits. quantify the specific role our Your choice all weld together training from CHS and McKee or all bolt together. played in our ability to move forward agricultural technologies and the cooperative concept in Zabul province,” New Wachenheim says. “However, Powder I did not fully understand the workings of the cooperative Coated, Bolt business model and the circumstances in southern AfTogether ghanistan until we were with Kits the farmers and the government staff supporting them. with FREE DELIVERY There were many ‘ah ha’ moments when I saw the connection between what we learned and practiced with McKee and CHS and what we did in Afghanistan.” “As a global leading agribusiness that is owned by farmers, ranchers and cooperatives across the U.S., CHS recognizes the vital role of cooperatives in the success of U.S. agriculture,” Nelson says. “We appreciate the center’s important contributions in strengthening the cooperative system and its key role in ensuring a strong future for cooperative business.” For more information about the Quentin Burdick Center for Cooperatives, go to http://www.ag.ndsu.nodak. edu/qbcc/.

The power of resilience
By Andrea Klein, SDSU Extension 4-H Youth Development & Resiliency Field Specialist Have you ever noticed some people seem to bounce back from the inevitable obstacles life throws their way while others languish longer in similar difficulty? The difference may have a lot to do with resiliency. Resiliency is the ability to rise above difficult circumstances and move forward with optimism and confidence. These difficult circumstances may be everyday stressors or more serious problems. Resiliency is not only about surviving, but thriving through both difficult and good times. It is an active process of endurance, selfrighting and growth responding to stress and challenges. The same characteristics that foster resilience enrich our lives. The exciting news is that resiliency can actually be learned and fostered within all of us and certainly youth. Ways to increase resiliency are becoming better understood each day. In his book “Building Resilience in Children and Teens: Giving Kids Roots and Wings” Dr. Kenneth Ginsburg explains, “Young people will be resilient when the important adults in their lives believe in them unconditionally and hold them to high expectations.” Dr. Ginsburg goes on to explain that unconditional belief is not blind acceptance, but instead means the adult is a stable caring force in the young person’s life. High expectations do not mean demanding perfect grades or athletic excellence although effort is a reasonable expectation. Instead, it is about living by the values and internal goodness you know the child has within. Dr. Ginsburg offers seven C’s as essential building blocks for resilience. These seven C’s include; competence, confidence, connection, character, contribution, coping and control. We will explore these further in upcoming articles. For more information about Dr. Ginsburg’s work visit the Fostering Resilience website (http://www.fosteringresilience.com).
