NRCS sets program funding application cutoff for June 1 The USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) has set a June 1, 2015, application cutoff for agricultural operators to be considered for 2016 conservation program funding through the Environmental Quality Incentives Program. NRCS provides funding and technical assistance to help farmers and ranchers implement conservation practices that provide environmental benefits to help sustain agricultural operations. Conservation program participation is voluntary and helps private landowners and operators defray the costs of installing conservation practices. NRCS accepts conservation program applications yearround; however, applications for 2016 funding consideration must be submitted by June 1, 2015. Applications made after the June 1 cutoff will be considered in the next funding cycle. Additional information is available on the Montana NRCS website at www.mt.nrcs.usda.gov under the Programs tab.

May is Wildfire Awareness Month in MT
Communities, families and organizations are urged to join together in May to become more prepared for wildfire season. May has been designated as Wildfire Awareness Month, and the purpose is to raise awareness about wildland fire safety, community preparedness, hazardous fuels mitigation, and fire prevention. According to the National Interagency Fire Center, nearly 2.5 million acres, an area the size of Yellowstone National Park, are burned each year by human-caused wildfires. In Montana, top causes of wildfires change through the course of the season: escaped debris and agricultural burns in the spring; escaped or unattended campfires in the summer; and sparks from dragging trailer chains, lawn mowers, chainsaws or field machinery in the late summer and early fall when grasses are cured and ripe for ignition. Here are a few ways to prevent and pre-

pare for wildfires: · Clean out gutters, roofs and other areas where debris has settled · Avoid burning on windy days and never leave a burn pile unattended · Maintain equipment to reduce sparks and check that trailer chains do not drag · Create an evacuation plan and practice the route with family members · Practice campfire safety by ensuring your fire is dead out before leaving the campsite · Keep the space around your home clear of dense vegetation · Help your community by organizing a wildfire preparedness event Preparedness is a shared responsibility. Encourage others in your community to take steps to prepare for wildfire season.

Anticipating grasshopper impact for the grazing season By Roger Gates, iGrow Developing plans to allocate the livestock feed available from pasture resources is essential to optimize pasture use and minimize associated costs. Useful plans are made in advance and anticipate adjustments that may be needed to respond to changes during the growing season. Modifying the intensity (e.g. animals per pasture) and duration (grazing days per pasture) will most often be dictated by growing conditions, primarily rainfall. Anticipating more severe conditions (i.e. drought, flood, hail, fire) requires contingency plans, and having them in place may reduce the impact of strong emotions associated with disaster conditions. When grasshopper populations reach high densities, the resulting impact on pasture vegetation can be devastating. The USDA-Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service personnel conduct adult grasshopper surveys annually in late summer and fall. These surveys provide an “early warning” about the potential for grasshopper infestations in the following growing season. An iGrow Fact Sheet, Grasshopper Outlook on Rangelands: 2015 reports findings from the most recent survey. Contingency plans responding to grasshoppers might include pesticide control. Decisions should be made based on the value of the feed resource and the cost of the control measures which are outlined in detail in this Fact Sheet. Survey results suggested a low probability of severe grasshopper damage in 2015. However, that is not a guarantee and a carefully planned contingency response will remain valuable and can easily be updated should conditions change.

Governor signs seed law legislation
By NDSU Extension Service North Dakota Gov. Jack Dalrymple signed into law senate bill 2261 on March 30. Among other amendments, the legislation increases the $5,000 maximum fine for a violation of seed intellectual property protection laws to $10,000, making it the highest state enforcement penalty in the U.S. Introduced by state Sen. Terry Wanzek on behalf of the North Dakota State Seed Department, the legislation clarifies existing language requiring cover crops to be tested and Your Montana Authorized Timpte Dealer labeled properly. The bill also increases the penalties for piracy, or “brownbagging,” of protected seed varieties. The maximum penalty is levied in North Dakota only in cases of violation of the Plant Variety Protection (PVP), Title V option. PVP Title V requires that seed be sold only as a class (Foundation, Registered or Certified) of certified seed. “Intellectual property protection is important to agriculAmerican Ag Series ture, just as it is to any other sector of the economy,” says NEW 2016 Timpte hopper, 40-ft.x 66”x96”, ag hoppers, spring ride, FOB Ken Bertsch, North Dakota’s state seed commissioner. “An Super Hopper Series David City, Nebraska effective deterrent to violating the rights of seed variety owners also is important.

New Eastern Agricultural Research Center superintendent
Montana State University officials announced that Chengci Chen, professor of cropping systems for the Montana Agricultural Experiment Station (MAES) and MSU College of Agriculture, has been appointed the new superintendent of the Eastern Agricultural Research Center (EARC) in Sidney. As superintendent, Chen will be responsible for management of the center’s irrigated and dryland farming research profile, including research on sugar beets, barley, durum, winter and spring wheat, oil seeds and pulse crops, including peas, lentils and chickpeas. EARC is located in the Northern Great Plains region that largely encompasses eastern Montana and western North Dakota. The area’s primary agricultural commodities are spring and durum wheat, pulse crops, alfalfa, sugar beets and beef cattle. The center encompasses a new office and research facility built in 2011 that includes two state-of-the-art greenhouses with computer-controlled heating, cooling and lighting and two new labs. The center’s grounds also include 135 irrigated acres and 40 dryland acres for joint MAES and U.S. Department of Agriculture research programs. Chen will replace Joyce Eckhoff, EARC interim superintendent, who has been with MAES as a professor of agronomy for the last 28 years and will retire on May 15. Chen will officially begin his new role on May 4. Chen received his Ph.D. in soil science from Oregon State University and holds two master’s degrees in soil physics and plant-water relations, one from Oregon State University and a second from Beijing Agricultural University. Chen has been a professor of cropping systems with the Central Agricultural Research Center in Moccasin since 2002. Chen is one of several MAES faculty
scientists supporting the current rise of pulse crop production in Montana, according to Barry Jacobsen, department head of MAES research centers. “Chengci is one of the leaders in introducing pulse crops into Montana cropping systems, and he has experience in both irrigated and dryland agriculture,” Jacobsen said. “He will be a terrific supervisor for EARC.” MAES includes the MSU campus in Bozeman and seven off-campus research centers located throughout the state in Sidney, Moccasin, Huntley, Conrad, Havre, Kalispell and Corvallis. Collectively, the centers conduct research to address the diverse climatological challenges of Montana’s agricultural industry.

Conrad’s annual crops and mechanics seminar
Over 250 FFA members from across the state of Montana traveled to Conrad over the weekend of March 7 to take part in the 31st Annual Conrad FFA Alumni Crops and Mechanics Seminar. The alumni of the Conrad FFA has hosted the statewide event since 1984 and it has become one of the premier statewide FFA competitive events held annually. The seminar is a unique event that combines teaching sessions taught by industry professionals and competitive events that allow students to test their skills in agronomy and mechanics. Over 40 volunteer presenters and staff come together on the first Saturday of March each year to host the event. In the mechanics portion of the event students took part in seven seminar rotations that taught the basics of MIG welding, plumbing, electricity, sprayer parts, sprayer nozzles, GPS, and chemical application. Teaching sessions were 25 minutes each and testing session in the afternoon also ran 25 minutes. In the testing sessions students are required to execute a series of tasks specific to each rotation as well as recall specific knowledge about each station such as identifying parts on a sprayer or wiring a four-way electrical switch. Seminars in the mechanics event were taught by Travis Walter, Bain Plumbing, plumbing; Adam Klette and Aaron Klette, Klette Electric, Electrical; Travis Seidler and Cody Erickson, Big Sky Equipment, sprayer parts; Eric Lemay, General Distributing Company, welding; Nathan Hunsucker, Centrol Crop Consulting, GPS; Paul Olson, Helena Chemical, Natural Resources; Joel Farkell, Centrol Crop Consulting, sprayer nozzles. Allie Nelson, a Montana FFA State Officer originally from Great Falls, stated: “I was very amazed at the knowledge of all of the practicum presentations and was more than excited to see all of the passionate mechanics members that learned everything from plumbing to welding and from spraying to electricity!” The crops section of the event consisted of six rotations that taught students about crop staging, biotechnology and genetic modification, marketing, soils, fertilizers, and insects. Testing in the crops portion of the event required students to identify various soil types, determine fertilizer applications, identify plant growth stages, and recall information about genetically modified organisms. Seminars in the crops event were taught by Brett Wilson, marketing; Marty Metz, NRCS, soils; Brad Birch, Dryfork Ag, fertilizer; Jeff Farkell, Centrol Crop Consulting, crop staging; Chris Berg, BASF, biotechnology & GMOs. Reese McAlpine, Mission Valley FFA, graciously filled in on the insects presentation. According to Randy Taylor, FFA State Officer originally from the Beaverhead FFA Chapter, “The Conrad Crops and Mechanics contest is one of the best contests that I personally attended in high school. I can honestly say that having educational workshops before the actual competition is invaluable. This contest provides a great review for older competitors and an excellent introduction to first timers to their respective contests. Not to mention the prizes are always practical and provide great incentive!” The awards are provided through donations of supportive businesses in Conrad, Valier, Shelby, Brady, Choteau, and Great Falls.

Boreal chorus frogs are heard now where ever there is water on the prairie.
Amphibians in the spring
By Bruce Auchly, FWP Region 4 Information Officer Among the many harbingers of spring are frogs peeping. On the prairie, the boreal frog sings its loudest now. Boreal frogs are heard everywhere in the spring and early summer. During their April-June breeding season their loud, short chirp that resembles the slow running of a thumb over the teeth of a comb, seems to come from every prairie pond and water-filled roadside ditch.

Frogs, which need to spend their lives in or near water, seem out of place in the semi-arid Northern Plains. What’s next? Alligators and crocodiles? As one might expect, there are several toad species found on the prairie: Plains spadefoot, Great Plains toad, and Woodhouse’s toad. When it comes to frogs, however, the boreal frog and the northern leopard frog are also at home, home on the range. That’s because those animals have found their niche to reproduce and thrive in the brief spring wet season, then hang on to survive during summer’s dry heat. By midsummer, the inch-long boreal frogs disappear underground, beneath vegetation, into water tanks, or even on building foundations, anywhere they can keep their skin moist. For a great description of the boreal frog, including an audio file of its call, go the Montana Natural Heritage Program website: http://fieldguide.mt.gov/speciesDetail. aspx?elcode=AAABC05130 This frog is not the only amphibian sign of spring. The mid-April snowstorm that dropped several inches of snow on central Montana, also brought a tiger salamander sighting on the prairie. It is a bit early for this salamander’s breeding season, but they are moving to breeding ponds. Tiger salamanders are, perhaps, the weirdest looking creature on the prairie. Its body is typically a crazy quilt of blotched olive or pale yellow markings on a black or dark green background, kind of like a blacklight poster from the ‘60s. Come summer tiger salamanders survive by spending daylight hours in borrows, under logs and rocks or in prairie dog burrows. People sometimes find this secretive six- to eight-inch-long amphibian in basements, window wells or stock tanks. Just wait until a summer downpour when folks not used to this psychedelic looking critter find it on their patio. Like all of Montana’s amphibians, the tiger salamander goes through a larval stage in water (tadpoles are the larval stage for frogs), but some never complete their transformation. Instead they stay in water, become sexually mature and breed while keeping their external gills. These salamanders are called axolotls, water dogs, or mud puppies. The latter name, perhaps, because they spend their days in the bottom of ponds – the benthic zone -- entering the upper water column at night.
Some tiger salamander larvae, called axolotls, never complete their transformation, staying in the larval stage their whole life.
Top 10 tips to know if you get a letter from the IRS
The IRS mails millions of notices and letters to taxpayers each year. There are a variety of reasons why the IRS might send you a notice. Here are the top 10 tips to know in case you get one. 1. Don’t panic. You often can take care of a notice simply by responding to it. 2. An IRS notice typically will be about your federal tax return or tax account. It will be about a specific issue, such as changes to your account. It may ask you for more information. It could also explain that you owe tax and that you need to pay the amount that is due. 3. Each notice has specific instructions, so read it carefully. It will tell you what you need to do. 4. You may get a notice that states the IRS has made a change or correction to your tax return. If you do, review the information and compare it with your original return. 5. If you agree with the notice, you usually don’t need to reply unless it gives you other instructions or you need to make a payment. 6. If you do not agree with the notice, it’s important for you to respond. You should write a letter to explain why you disagree. Include any information and documents you want the IRS to consider. Mail your reply with the bottom tear-off portion of the notice. Send it to the address shown in the upper left-hand corner of the notice. Allow at least 30 days for a response. 7. You won’t need to call the IRS or visit an IRS office for most notices. If you do have questions, call the phone number in the upper right-hand corner of the notice. Have a copy of your tax return and the notice with you when you call. This will help the IRS answer your questions. 8. Always keep copies of any notices you receive with your other tax records. 9. Be alert for tax scams. The IRS sends letters and notices by mail. The IRS does not contact people by email or social media to ask for personal or financial information. 10. For more on this topic visit IRS.gov. Click on the link ‘Responding to a Notice’ at the bottom left of the home page. Also, see Publication 594, The IRS Collection Process. You can get it on IRS.gov/forms at any time.

Farmers expect average SRW yields
Soft red winter (SRW) wheat supply and demand has settled back to a more familiar place after Chinese buyers took advantage of good quality at an attractive price to import more than 4 MMT of U.S. SRW wheat in marketing year 2013/14. In 2015/16, supply should remain strong and prices attractive even though farmers planted significantly less SRW last fall. SRW is a versatile, weak-gluten wheat with excellent milling and baking characteristics for cookies, crackers, pretzels, pastries and flat breads. Farmers east of the Mississippi River as well as in Missouri, Arkansas, Louisiana and east Texas grow SRW in rotation with other crops or as a second crop following soybeans. Over the past five years, average SRW production is about 13.3 MMT and average exports (without counting the outlying year in which China dominated the market) are 3.7 MMT. Production in 2013/14 was well above average so, at an average export pace, USDA expects 2014/15 ending stocks on May 31, 2015, to be 5 MMT, about 19 percent more than the 5-year average. Looking at the SRW outlook for 2015/16, USW Market Analyst Casey Chumrau reported in the last issue of “Wheat Letter” that USDA estimated SRW planted area was less than any year since 2010/11. Plantings fell to 7.75 million acres, down from 8.50 million last year and 4 percent below the 5-year average, with reductions in every SRW producing state, including large drops in Ohio, Illinois and North Carolina. Wet conditions prevented seeding in some fields and, even though farm gate prices are relatively low, alternate crops offered more profit potential than SRW. Spring has arrived a bit late in much of the eastern United States and that has slowed SRW development. Heading was behind schedule as far south as Louisiana in late March. Dan Weathington, executive director of the North Carolina Small Grain Growers Association, reported that with a bit more warmth, wheat there should start heading this week. USW colleagues visiting farms in eastern Maryland saw SRW still in
the tillering stage on April 17 (see “Wheat Industry News” below). Taken as a whole, the 2015/16 SRW crop is in good to fair condition (see SRW Conditions chart below) and yield potential remains about average according to several colleagues who shared their perspective this week. “The North Carolina crop looked pretty good going into January but we had extremely cold conditions with some damage earlier this spring,” said Weathington. “Then rains came and kept a lot of farmers from applying nitrogen fertilizer, so I figure we will lose quite a bit of the crop due to rain and cold damage. We will have to wait for the official report in two weeks before we will have an idea how much that will hurt yields.” “From what I hear, most wheat is in good condition and we predict normal wheat yields of about 64 bushels per acre, but will be from fewer acres this year,” said Diane Handley, executive secretary of the Illinois Wheat Association. “Here in Ohio, planting dates tell the tale,” reported John Hoffman, who farms near Circleville in the south-central part of the state. “The wheat I was able to seed early looks really good, but in the state, seedings were down by 10 to 12 percent. A lot of that wheat was seeded late and it has struggled to grow. I spoke to a few farmers in northwest Ohio who might abandon part of their crop and on the fields they expect to harvest, yields will be below average.” Hoffman represents the Ohio Small Grains Marketing Program on the USW Board of Directors. Extension Grain Specialist Dr. Wade Thomason said condition ratings in Virginia are mostly good but the crop is one to two weeks behind. He said there is significant late-seeded area and a cool, wet spring has limited tillering. “Most folks say the crop is about one to two weeks later than ‘normal,’” said Dr. Bob Pitman, superintendent at the Eastern Virginia Agricultural Research Center in Warsaw, VA. “Overall, we should see only average yields in the state.”

MSU research puts new safflower varieties up for licensing
Montana State University researchers have produced two new varieties of spineless safflower, an oilseed crop that can also be used as a cover crop, as well as for livestock grazing and wildlife forage. These technologies – a spineless red and a spineless white – are now available for licensing. Besides being drought-tolerant and capable of withstanding hailstorms, the spineless red variety, known as Rubis red, showed high seed yield and oil content, while the spineless white variety, known as Baldy, is adapted for higher elevations and is recommended for growing in Montana, Kansas, Utah and southern Idaho. Currently, MSU has 257 licenses from technologies developed by faculty and researchers. Of those, 75 licenses are with Montana companies. For additional information on the safflower varieties, visit the MSU Technology Transfer Office website: http://tto.montana.edu/tech/ag.html.

Dena Fritz, of Chester, Montana serves on the National Wildlife Services Advisory Committee (NWSAC) and recently traveled to the Washington, D.C. area to participate in the group’s annual committee meeting. The NWSAC advises the Secretary of Agriculture on policies and activities of USDA’s Wildlife Services program, which seeks to address and prevent damage caused by wildlife. Fritz is one of 20 members appointed to the committee, representing the Marias River Livestock Association and ranching interests. “I appreciate the opportunity to serve on the committee because it allows me to voice the concerns of farmers and ranchers, as a whole” said Fritz. “By serving on the NWSAC, I have the unique opportunity to engage positively and productively with stakeholders who may fall on the other side of the fence in terms of our values towards wildlife damage management. It’s as if we can meet in the middle, lean on the fence from our respective sides and share concerns. This sort of exchange is important to ensure the policy recommendations made by the committee will improve WS’ ability to serve a public with diverse needs and values,” she added. Wildlife Services provides federal leadership assisting governments and stakeholders in reducing or preventing damage due to wildlife. The programs often assist farmers and ranchers, when requested, by reducing crop and livestock losses due to pests and wildlife, and rely on a range of management techniques as a part of WS’ integrated damage management approach. NWSAC membership represents a broad range of agriculture, animal welfare, and wildlife interests. Members represent academia, airport safety, animal welfare, farmers and livestock producers, and state wildlife agencies, among other interest groups. The NWSAC serves as an open forum for members with diverse interests to have a voice in the policies and guidance in the Wildlife Services program. The NWSAC facilitates the mission of APHIS/WS by advising the Secretary of Agriculture on the committee’s recommendations, and supports WS’ implementation of its Strategic Plan (2013-2017). On March 17-19, 2015, NWSAC convened at APHIS headquarters in Riverdale, Maryland and crafted 19 recommendations to present to Secretary of Agriculture, Tom Vilsack. Recommendations included issues related to airport hazard and rabies management programs, communications efforts, outreach information about management methods, and wildlife health. Dena Fritz is a farmer/rancher from Chester, Montana. In addition to being a commercial cattle producer, Ms. Fritz is 7th-12th grade Ag teacher.

44th Annual State SkillsUSA competition winners Montana’s SkillsUSA held their 44th annual State Leadership & Skills Conference on the MSU-Northern campus this week (April 13-15). MSU-Northern has hosted the event since 1972. This year SkillsUSA celebrates 50 years of excellence- “50 Years of Champions at Work.” Since its beginning, SkillsUSA, formerly known as VICA (the Vocational Industrial Clubs of America), has been a partnership of students, teachers and industry representatives working together to ensure that America continues to have skilled workers joining the workforce. The national organization has served more than 11.2 million members since its founding in 1965. Dedicated SkillsUSA students from 33 schools from around the state gathered to participate in the various competitions this week. This year’s theme for the conference was: “SkillsUSA: 50 years Champions at Work.” SkillsUSA is a popular club in Montana- with about 358 students coming to Havre to compete. This year there were over $250,000 in scholarships and prizes given to the winners. The winners of each category have an opportunity to compete in the national gathering in Louisville, Kentucky in June. Along with the national competition option, students can receive medals of bronze, silver, or gold (according to their achievement status), scholarships, donated prizes, and personal credit. SkillsUSA motivates and trains its members. Their motto is: “Preparing for leadership in the world of work.” Each participant must be a member of the national & state associations in order to compete. When joining the association, students make a noble pledge that states: “Upon my honor I pledge to prepare myself by diligent study and ardent practice to become a worker whose services will be recognized as honorable, to base my expectations of reward upon the solid foundation of service, to respect my vocation, to bring repute to myself, and to spare no effort in upholding these ideals.” It is evident from this pledge that SkillsUSA not only encourages job training, but also produces workers who have a firm grasp of what true service, respect, dedication, and honor are. Many students demonstrate these values through competition in one of SkillsUSA’s most popular categoriesjob interview. Twenty-six Montana students took part in the job interview competition this year. During their interviews students are able to convey their values, confidence in their skills, and respect for the work and employers they would deal with. Adeptness in job interviews is vital for all future members of the workforce. Along with training their students to interview well, SkillsUSA encourages their participants to dress professionally. During the state competition most participants wear the signature red SkillsUSA jacket. Students sporting the club’s sharp red blazers do so to look professional and display their status as a SkillsUSA member. The jackets stand for the unions their organization is built upon. The red represents their individual states and chapters. The blue signifies the union between all of the individual groups, and the gold symbolizes the individual- the most crucial element of their organization. SkillsUSA students’ focus is not only on their preferred skill, but is also on learning to value their individuality and utilize unions with other individuals. The winners of this year’s competitions are: Pin Design High School Gold - Jesse Long - Charlo High School - MT Silver - Brooklyn Foust - Charlo High School - MT Bronze - Dugan Runkel - Charlo High School - MT Architectural Drafting, Option 1 Advanced High School Gold - Yancy Gagne - C M Russell High School - MT Silver - Aiden Cormier - Capital High School - MT Bronze - Eli Walker - Capital High School - MT Architectural Drafting, Option 2 Intermediate High School Gold - Jordan Anspach - Jefferson High School - MT Silver - Lexi Vossler - Jefferson High School - MT Bronze - Mattie Steinley - Sidney High School - MT Automotive Service Technology College/Postsecondary Gold - Conner Schnicke - MSU-Northern - MT Silver - DJ Miller - MSU Billings-COT - MT Bronze - Nathan Baird - MSU-Northern - MT Automotive Service Technology High School Gold Kier Pederson - Billings Career Center - MT Silver - Anton Poelman - Capital High School - MT Bronze - Levi Huston - Havre High School - MT Cabinetmaking High School Gold - Greg Wadsworth - Thompson Falls High School - MT CONTINUED ON PAGE A29

Natural Resources Camp continues 55-year tradition
By University of Idaho Natural Resources Camp, a University of Idaho (UI) Extension tradition tucked away in some of the state’s grandest scenery, will again offer Idaho youth a unique opportunity to learn about and explore the environment June 22-27. The camp for 12- to 14-year olds will celebrate its 55th anniversary this year with a program that focuses on wildlife, rangeland, forests, water and soil. The camp is located north of Ketchum in Idaho’s Smoky Mountains. New staff members joining the camp this year are experts in water-related topics and fire management, said Amber Moore, NRC camp director and UI Extension soil specialist in Twin Falls. Youth interested in attending camp are encouraged to contact their local Soil Conservation District offices because they offer scholarships to help defray the $235 registration fee, which rises to $255 after May 21. New staff members this year include program director Jess Helsley, a camp alumna who now works as a fish habitat biologist for the Quinault Indian Nation in western Washington; water instructor Jim Ekins, UI Extension area water educator in Northern Idaho; wildlife instructor Scott Scroggie, a U.S. Bureau of Land Management field biologist with the Sage Grouse Initiative; and fire educator Ryan Berlin, a fire education and mitigation specialist for the BLM Twin Falls District. One of the camp’s goals is to continue drawing youth from eastern Idaho and the Boise area, Moore said, and including youth from urban areas in the mix of campers. Teachers also attend the camp to learn about natural resources and to earn continuing education credits through the University of Idaho. More information is available from soil conservation district offices, UI Extension county offices and from camp coordinator Megan Satterwhite at the UI Twin Falls Research and Extension Center at (208) 736-3634, (208) 736-3634.

Tips if you missed the tax deadline
April 15 has come and gone. If you didn’t file a tax return or an extension but should have, you need to take action now. Here are some tips for taxpayers who missed the tax filing deadline: File as soon as you can. If you owe taxes, you should file and pay as soon as you can. This will stop the interest and penalties that you will owe. IRS Direct Pay offers you a free, secure and easy way to pay your tax directly from your checking or savings account. There is no penalty for filing a late return if you are due a refund. The sooner you file, the sooner you’ll get it. IRS Free File is your best choice. Nearly everyone can use IRS Free File to e-file their federal taxes for free. If your income was $60,000 or less, you can use free brand-name tax software. If you made more than $60,000, use Free File Fillable Forms to e-file. This program uses electronic versions of IRS paper forms. It does some of the math and it works best for those who are used to doing their own taxes. Either way, you have a free option that you can only access on IRS.gov. It’s available at least through the Oct. 15 extension period. Use IRS e-file to do your taxes. No matter who prepares your tax return, you can use IRS e-file through Oct. 15. E-file is the easiest, safest and most accurate way to file your taxes. The IRS will confirm that it received your tax return. The IRS issues more than nine out of 10 refunds in less than 21 days. Pay as much as you can. If you owe tax but can’t pay it in full, you should pay as much as you can when you file your tax return. IRS electronic payment options are the quickest and easiest way to pay your taxes. Pay the rest of the tax you still owe as soon as possible. Doing so will reduce future penalties and interest. Use the IRS.gov tool to pay over time. If you need more time to pay your tax, you can apply for an installment agreement with the IRS. The best way to apply is to use the IRS Online Payment Agreement tool. You can use the IRS.gov tool to set up a direct debit agreement. You don’t need to write and mail a check each month with a direct debit plan. If you don’t use the tool, you can use Form 9465, Installment Agreement Request to apply. You can get the form on IRS. gov/forms at any time. A refund may be waiting. If you are due a refund, you should file as soon as possible to get it. Even if you are not required to file, you may still get a refund. This could apply if you had taxes withheld from your wages or you qualify for certain tax credits. If you do not file your return within three years, you could lose your right to the refund.
##### Retirement is like a ski vacation: There are plenty of laughs and drinks and excitement, but you spend most of it going downhill. ##### I wouldn’t say I’ve slowed down since I retired, but I spent all yesterday counting my shoes. I only have three pairs.

UW names Sheridan Research and Extension Center director
By University of Wyoming Extension A plant scientist experienced in teaching, research and extension will begin May 18 as director of the Sheridan Research and Extension Center. Brian Mealor is an assistant professor in the Department of Plant Sciences at the University of Wyoming (UW) and extension weed specialist. “Brian’s professional experiences will serve him well in this position,” said Bret Hess, associate dean of research and director of the Wyoming Agricultural Experiment Station (AES). The AES in the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources directs four research and extension centers in the state. “He has proven to be innovative, has strong organizational skills and possesses exceptional communication skills coupled with an ability to work with a broad range of constituencies,” said Hess. Mealor received his Ph.D. and master’s degree in rangeland ecology and watershed management from the University of Wyoming. He joined the plant sciences department in 2009. Mealor replaces Valtcho Jeliazkov, who has accepted the director position of the Columbia Basin Agricultural Research Center with Oregon State University. Hess said Mealor will retain a research appointment and be an active member of the plant sciences department. He will transition from his faculty role to the director position throughout the spring and summer. “I am very anxious to have Brian join the Wyoming Agricultural Experiment Station team,” said Hess. “He brings much-needed leadership to the position.” The Sheridan R&E Center is housed in the Watt Agriculture Center at Sheridan College with trials on the grounds and about 400 acres of the Adams Ranch south of the college. The ranch is owned by Whitney Benefits. The center also maintains 250 acres of dry land crops and irrigated vegetables and fruit trees at its former headquarters near Wyarno.

From May through mid-December 2015, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) will conduct for the USDA’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS), National Animal Health Monitoring System (NAHMS) its third national equine study. The study will collect and analyze equine health data to provide information on the equine population, disease and risk factors, health management, and biosecurity practices. In June and July, NASS will reach out to over 500 equine owners in Arizona, Colorado, Montana, and Wyoming to conduct personal interviews with farms that have one or more equine. For operations that choose to continue to phase II of the study, representatives from USDA’s Veterinary Services will visit from August to mid-December 2015 to administer a second questionnaire. Respondents to this questionnaire may elect to participate in biologic sampling, including collection of blood and fecal samples, a tick exam, and collection of tick specimens. “By responding to this survey, equine operators will provide accurate equine health data that help ensure agriculture decision-makers have the accurate, timely information they need, and allow researchers to focus their research on the most important diseases affecting the equine population,” said Bill Meyer, Director of the NASS Regional Field Office. The NAHMS equine study will provide current and scientifically valid estimates of management practices, disease prevalence, and other information important for trade and the health of the equine industry. In addition, information will be provided on trends in the implementation of equine health management practices and the antibiotic susceptibility of selected enteric bacteria. Participants will receive the results of an on-site biosecurity assessment and biologic sample testing. “This is a great opportunity for equine operators who participate in the study to receive, at no cost, parasite and tick testing and a biosecurity assessment,” said Meyer.

Plan now For
By Rosalie Marion Bliss, Agricultural Research Service An expert in healthy weight-loss interventions funded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) is studying complex brain responses to the dramatically changed U.S. food supply. The 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans (DGAs) report that during the past four decades, the amount of food on hand to purchase from the U.S. market-in terms of average daily caloric availability—has increased by 600 calories per person. Susan B. Roberts emphasizes interventions with a high-fiber, slow-digesting carbohydrate intake—at the lower end of the recommended range rather than below it—for weight control because that is a good level where people can enjoy some carbs without having so many that they trigger food cravings and eating-control issues. Roberts is with the Jean Mayer USDA Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging (HNRCA) at Tufts University in Boston, Massachusetts. The center is funded by the Agricultural Research Service (ARS), which is USDA’s chief intramural scientific research agency. Roberts is also professor of both nutrition and psychiatry at Tufts University. Roberts emphasizes a moderately low carbohydrate intake, rather than a very low carb intake, in keeping with the Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) for carbohydrates of 130 grams, or 520 calories, per day. Based on Roberts’ studies, another dietary key to managing body weight is getting ample food fiber, which is a subset of the carbohydrate group. The daily adequate intake for fiber is 38 grams for men and 25 grams for women. But significantly—dietary fiber intake among U.S. consumers averages only 16 grams per day. Fiber is a weight-control cornerstone of Roberts’ intervention studies because it helps achieve the feeling of fullness after eating. Good sources of dietary fiber include legumes (beans and peas), vegetables, fruits, nuts and seeds, and whole grains (unlike refined grains, whole grains contain the entire grain kernel, meaning bran, germ, and endosperm).

USDA seeks input from growers
During the next several weeks, U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) will conduct two major mid-year surveys, the June Agricultural Survey and the June Area Survey. The agency will survey thousands of producers across Arizona, Colorado, Montana, New Mexico, Utah, and Wyoming to determine crop production and supply levels in 2015. “Due to the widespread impact of its results, the June Agricultural Survey, also known as the Crops/Stocks Survey, and the June Area Survey, are two of the most significant surveys NASS conducts,” explained Bill Meyer, director of the NASS Mountain Regional Office. “Information growers provide serves as the first clear sign of the prospective production and supply of major commodities in the United States for the 2015 crop year.” NASS gathers the data for the June Agriculture Survey online, by mail and/or by phone. For the June Area Survey, agency representatives will visit randomly selected tracts of land and interview the operators of any farm or ranch on that land. Growers will provide information on crop acreage – including biotech crops—as well as grain stocks, livestock inventory, cash rents, land values, and value of sales. NASS will compile and analyze the survey information and publish the results in a series of USDA reports, including the annual Acreage report and quarterly Grain Stocks report, both to be released June 30, 2015. Survey data contribute to NASS’s monthly and annual Crop Production reports, as well as the annual Small Grains Summary and USDA’s monthly World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates. As with all NASS surveys, information provided by respondents is kept strictly confidential, as required by federal law. “NASS safeguards the privacy of all responses and publishes only state- and national-level data, ensuring that no individual operation or producer can be identified,” stated Meyer. “We recognize this is a hectic time for farmers and ranchers, but the information they provide is essential to everyone involved in U.S. agriculture. I urge them to respond to these surveys and thank them for their cooperation,” said Bill Meyer. All reports are available on the NASS website: www. nass.usda.gov. For more information on NASS surveys and reports, call the NASS Mountain Regional Field Office at (800) 392-3202.
FWP seeking landowners for Block Management By Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks
Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks (FWP) is seeking landowners in Region 5 who are interested in participating in Block Management. Block Management is a cooperative effort between landowners, public land management agencies, and FWP to help manage public hunting activities and provide equitable hunting opportunities. In the Block Management program, landowners and FWP enter into voluntary agreements that spell out how hunting will be conducted on the landowner’s property. Items such as permission requirements, times when permission will be granted, vehicle use, and numbers of hunters are a few examples of what is covered in a contract. Block Management offers various benefits to landowners enrolled in the program. These include compensation to offset impacts associated with allowing public hunting, hunter and wildlife management, and a complimentary, nontransferable sportsman’s license. Additionally, participants do not relinquish any rights by enrolling and are covered by Montana’s recreational liability statute as well as livestock loss reimbursement, both of which are extended to landowners who allow access at no charge. Yearly budgets are limited, so lands offered for enrollment are prioritized on a region-wide basis. Habitat quality, regional access needs, and hunter opportunity are considered while prioritizing properties. For more information, or to receive an application package, interested landowners can contact Dale Nixdorf, R5 Block Management Coordinator, at 406-247-2959, or the Region 5 FWP office at 406-247-2940.

Denton, Montana 31/2 miles SW - Near Airport
Oregon State University’s (OSU) fermentation science program has received a $1 million gift from Carlos Alvarez, the chairman and chief executive officer of The Gambrinus Company, a San Antonio-based beer company that owns BridgePort Brewing Company in Portland, Oregon; the Spoetzl Brewery in Shiner, Texas; and the Trumer Brewery in Berkeley, California. The gift from Alvarez will fund the purchase of a new research brewery to be housed in Oregon State’s Wiegand Hall Pilot Plant Facility, where fermentation science students participate in each step of the brewing and packaging process. “We are incredibly grateful and excited about building on this great relationship with BridgePort and Gambrinus,” said Tom Shellhammer, OSU’s Nor’Wester Professor of Fermentation Science. “At Oregon State we are very proud to offer students a ‘grain-to-glass’ education that covers every aspect of the beer-making process. Furthermore, we carry out cutting-edge, globally-relevant brewing science research. “This state-of-the-art facility will allow us to provide an experiential education that is truly world-class, while also enhancing research that benefits industry,” Shellhammer added. Oregon State’s collaborative relationship with BridgePort spans more than 15 years. Most recently, Shellhammer, OSU fermentation science students, and BridgePort brewmaster and OSU alumnus Jeff Edgerton collaborated on a session brown ale that won a gold medal at the European Beer Star competition in Germany. After working as export manager for Grupo Modelo and taking Corona to the U.S., Alvarez founded The Gambrinus Company in 1986 and became U.S. importer for Corona and other Modelo brands for the next 20 years. In 1989, he acquired and revitalized the Spoetzl Brewery in Shiner, Texas, now the fourth largest craft brewery in the U.S. with Shiner Bock as its leading brand. Alvarez subsequently acquired BridgePort Brewing Company in 1997 and founded the Trumer Brewery in Berkeley, California, in 2004. An ardent supporter of education, Alvarez has contributed to educational institutions across the U.S. with a particular focus on scholarship funding. Among other volunteer leadership roles, he served several years on the board of trustees for Davidson College in North Carolina. “I am very pleased to support Oregon State’s fermentation science program and its outstanding students, who represent so much promise as future craft brewers,” Alvarez said. “I am particularly excited to be able to fund this project and give back to the industry that built my business.” Oregon State is one of only two universities in the nation offering undergraduate and graduate level degrees in fermentation science that lead to a career in the brewing industry. Housed within the Department of Food Science and Technology, one of the oldest and top-ranked food science programs in the U.S., the program attracts students from across the country and around the world who hope to enter the craft brewing market. Three out of four students in the department are fermentation science majors. When construction is finished, the new research brewery funded by Alvarez’s gift will be named in his honor.

Shifting out of highcalorie habits
By Rosalie Marion Bliss, Agricultural Research Service A new study suggests that it is possible to change the cycle of craving unhealthy foods by retraining the brain to stop activating its reward centers on exposure to a steady stream of high-calorie foods and visual triggers. The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA)-funded study addresses concerns among weight-loss experts that when people get used to eating instant-gratification foods, such habits may be nearly impossible to stop or reverse. The study was conducted by senior coauthor Susan B. Roberts—an expert in developing programs for weight management—and co-investigators. Roberts is with the Jean Mayer USDA Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging (HNRCA) at Tufts University in Boston, Massachusetts. The center is funded by the Agricultural Research Service (ARS), which is USDA’s chief intramural scientific research agency. Roberts is also professor of both nutrition and psychiatry at Tufts University. The study volunteers were 13 overweight or obese men and women assigned to one of two study groups. One group was placed on an at-home weight-loss intervention of lower calorie foods for 6 months. The other was a no-intervention control group eating normally at home. To satisfy brain areas linked with cravings—the intervention group’s diet provided about 50 percent of daily calories from “slow-digesting” carbohydrates and highfiber foods. High-protein foods and healthy fats each provided 25 percent of daily calories. The group received 1 hour of positive reinforcement support sessions most weeks and meal plans that centered on hunger reduction, portion-control, and high satisfaction. They were told to evenly space meals and snacks and to freely use foods from a list of those that could be eaten any time. These tips were designed to keep blood sugar levels even (versus spiking) and to control hunger. The intervention group achieved significant weight loss—about 14 pounds each.

#### You’re ready to go to bed, but the fire you started a few hours ago is still awake, glowing with its last few embers. Instead of making a mess with water, throw some salt over anything that’s still burning. It will snuff out the flame and you’ll end up with less soot than if you let it smolder.

US farmers seeding less wheat for 2015/16
By Casey Chumrau, USW Market Analyst As the spring weather emerges and farmers are getting back in their fields, the prospects for the new U.S. wheat crop become clearer. The USDA provided a key piece to the puzzle on March 31 with its first Prospective Plantings report for 2015/16. The agency estimated total U.S. acreage for the 2015/16 harvest at 55.4 million acres, down 3 percent from 2014 but on par with the five-year average. The report gives the industry its first look at expected spring wheat and durum acres.

Of the total area, farmers planted an estimated 29.6 million acres to hard red winter (HRW), the largest U.S. wheat class by production volume. That estimate is down slightly from last year’s 30.2 million acres but 1 percent greater than the five-year average. USDA showed decreased winter wheat acreage in Kansas, the top HRW producing state and a 70 percent drop in North Dakota. USDA reported increased HRW acres in Nebraska, Oklahoma, South Dakota and Wyoming compared to 2014, plus a notable increase in Montana since the last estimate.

A 17 percent increase in Idaho’s spring acreage did help push total planted area higher. Dry conditions are of concern for white wheat farmers but very little of the crop was rated poor by USDA as of April 6. As always, the weather is the single largest factor in determining a crops potential.

MGGA and MGF award 2015 scholarships
The Montana Grain Growers Association (MGGA) and the Montana Grains Foundation (MGF) are pleased to announce the recipients of their college scholarships for school year 2015-16. The MGGA $1,000 scholarship winners are: Parker Broyles of Rapelje will be a sophomore at MSUNorthern in Havre, majoring in Diesel Technology with a minor in Applied Agriculture. Parker hopes one day to own and operate his own diesel repair business or become a manager of a large farm repair business because he understands how critical it is to have your equipment working well when you need it. Mackenzie Hansen, a high school senior from Gildford, plans to attend Carroll College in Helena or MSU-Bozeman to major in Pre-Veterinary Sciences or Biology/Animal Sciences with a focus on large animals as she wishes to return to the agricultural community when she completes her schooling. The MGF $2,000 scholarship winners are: Brittney Brewer will graduate next spring from MSUBozeman with a Crop Science degree, and plans to continue on to graduate school. She has a passion for plant genetics and breeding and has specifically enjoyed working on the current breeding efforts with spring wheat. Brittney believes it is important to connect with the farmers in any given community to better understand what their desires are for the next generation of crop varieties. Hannah Estabrooks is a graduate student in Plant Sciences at MSU-Bozeman. Her application essay stated, “I will dedicate my career to plant sciences and improved agriculture through the development of grains which are less dependent on inputs, more resistant to stress, of higher nutritional and consumer value, and through resource conservation. I fell in love with Montana the first day I arrived and a combination of deep reverence for the landscape and devoted passion for agriculture keep my heart rooted to this state.”

They are a boon to environmental scientists, Selker said, because they can carry measuring instruments into places where it’s difficult or dangerous to send humans, or where other technology can’t easily reach.

Grazing affects plant root growth
By Jim Johnson, The Samuel Roberts Noble Foundation Over the years I have seen many grazing operations in many parts of the country. I have seen places that never seem to grow as much grass as they should, and I have seen places that always seem to have lots of grass. Likewise, I have seen places that have been hurt by the extreme weather of the past several years, and I have seen places that have tolerated the extreme weather quite well. The places that have lots of grass and are doing well don’t necessarily have better soil or get more precipitation, and they may not be stocked lighter or rested more days per year. So what is the difference? Roots and the effects that management has on the roots. I’ve always kind of known that grazing management affects roots, but it was made crystal clear to me this past summer when I was introduced to some work published by F.J. Crider in 1955. Through several experiments using various perennial grasses, he showed the effects that forage removal has on root growth. In one experiment, Crider showed that when more than half of the forage is removed from a plant, root growth stops within the first day or two afterward and stays stopped from six to 18 days, with an average of 11 days. In the real world, this means if cattle have the opportunity to graze more than half of the top growth of a grass, at an interval less than 11 days, the roots never get to recover. If the roots don’t recover, then eventually neither will the top. In another experiment, Crider showed the effect that a single removal of top growth, in 10 percent increments, has on root growth. When 40 percent or less of the forage is removed, 0 percent of the roots stop growing. When 50 percent or more of the forage is removed, an increasing percentage of the roots stop growing. When 90 percent of the forage is removed, 100 percent of the roots stop growing (Table 1). In other words, leaving more than half of the forage any time a plant is grazed during the growing season allows the roots to continue to grow. If the roots keep growing, so should the forage. Not only did higher percentages of forage removed result in greater percentages of roots that stopped growing, the higher percentages of forage removed also resulted in greater lengths of time before the roots resumed growth. Thirty-three days after top growth removal, plants with 80 and 90 percent of their forage removed still had a portion of their roots that had not resumed growth. In a companion experiment, Crider showed how repeated removal of forage affects root growth. Like the previous experiment, removal of a percentage of top growth, in 10 percent increments, was done. However, in this experiment, forage was repeatedly removed to the height of the initial removal three times per week for five weeks. This time, 33 days after initial top growth removal, plants where 50 percent or more of their forage was removed still had a portion of their roots that had not resumed growth, and none of the roots had resumed growth on the plants with 70 percent or more of their forage removed. So removing half or more of the forage at a time steps root growth whether cattle graze rotationally or continuously. However, leaving half or more of the forage allows root growth to continue uninterrupted. If the roots grow more, the forage grows more; in the long run, more forage will come from the half that is grazed.
Water a Flower Day
When: Always on May 30th Water a Flower Day is a reminder to water your flowers...all of them. Sure, we know that this day reads Water “a” Flower (singular) Day. It clearly indicates that a flower should be watered. But, in today’s world of equal rights and nondiscrimination regulations, how can you single out one particular flower to water? Even if you can decide upon a certain flower, wouldn’t the rest of your flowers get upset and file a class action lawsuit? So please, for your own sake, water all of your flowers today. As a gardener, this author suggest you make your flowers very happy with you, by adding a liquid fertilizer to the water. They will reward you with faster growth, and bigger blooms! Have a Happy Water a Flower Day!

You say Brontosaurus, I say Apatosaurus
One of the first dino-bloopers was the case of the Brontosaurus. In 1877, paleontologist O.C. Marsh identified a specimen as being of the species type, Apatosaurus ajax. A few years later he found a more complete sample of the same dinosaur. In the paper following this find, Marsh called the beast a Brontosaurus, setting off decades of confusion. The two
names mean the same thing, but over time they began to be thought of as two different dinos. According to the rules for naming new species the older name takes precedence; to put a halt to the confusion Brontosaurus was officially dropped as the dino’s name. Despite this the Brontosaurus is still one of the most recognized dinosaur names.

Eat Your Vegetables Day
Date when held : Always June 17th Strategically created in the middle of National Fresh Fruit and Vegetables Month, this day is the perfect opportunity to re-introduce a healthy portion of vegetables into your diet. No doubt about it, Eat Your Vegetables Day was created to promote a more healthy diet.......for life! On this day, you are encouraged to eat vegetables for every meal, and for a snack.
Better still, try to be a vegetarian....for the day. Short of that, any additional vegetables at meal time today will honor the event, as well as make you a little healthier. We encourage parents to let the kids help with dinner, preparing the salad and vegetables. Along the way, you tell your kids a little about the importance of vegetables for a long and healthy life.
The USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) is making available $332 million in financial and technical assistance through the Agricultural Conservation Easement Program (ACEP). ACEP applications may be submitted at any time to NRCS; however, applications for the current funding cycle must be submitted on or before May 15, 2015. ACEP easements help ensure productive farm and ranch lands remain in agriculture and protect the critical wetlands and grasslands, home to diverse wildlife and plant species. The 2014 Farm Bill consolidated three previous conservation easement programs into ACEP to make it easier for diverse agricultural landowners to fully benefit from conservation initiatives. In FY 2014, NRCS used $328 million in ACEP funding to enroll an estimated 145,000 acres of farmland, grassland, and wetlands through 485 new easements. ACEP’s agricultural land easements not only protect the long-term viability of the nation’s food supply by preventing conversion of productive working lands to non-agricultural uses, but they also support environmental quality, historic preservation, wildlife habitat and protection of open space. American Indian tribes, state and
local governments and non-governmental organizations that have farmland or grassland protection programs are eligible to partner with NRCS to purchase conservation easements. A key change under the new agricultural land easement component is the new “grasslands of special environmental significance” that will protect high-quality grasslands that are under threat of conversion to cropping, urban development, and other non-grazing uses. Wetland reserve easements allow landowners to successfully enhance and protect habitat for wildlife on their lands, reduce impacts from flooding, recharge groundwater and provide outdoor recreational and educational opportunities. NRCS provides technical and financial assistance directly to private and tribal landowners to restore, protect and enhance wetlands through the purchase of these easements. Eligible landowners can choose to enroll in a permanent or 30-year easement; tribal landowners also have the option of enrolling in 30-year contracts. To learn about ACEP and other technical and financial assistance available through NRCS conservation programs, visit www. nrcs.usda.gov/GetStarted or your local USDA Service Center.

DASH diet recognized for lowering blood pressure
By Julie Garden-Robinson, Food and Nutrition Specialist, NDSU Extension Service Am I the only one that has a difficult time remembering all the sign in information and passwords for everything from personal computers to bank accounts? Even my garage door has a code. We are not supposed to use the same numbers for everything, either. We all have lots of numbers in our lives: phone numbers, social security numbers, birth dates, anniversaries and the list goes on. Forgetting any of those numbers can cause some stress. Not knowing another set of numbers can stress your heart. Do you know your blood pressure? Blood pressure, the force of our blood pushing against the walls of the arteries, is composed of two numbers. The upper number, or “systolic” reading, refers to the actual beating and contracting of the heart. The lower number, or “diastolic” reading, refers to the heart at rest. A normal blood pressure for people 18 and older is one where the systolic reading is less than 120 and the diastolic reading is less than 80. High blood pressure, or “hypertension,” is defined as having a blood pressure reading greater than or equal to 140 over 90. Hypertension is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease. About 67 million adults in the U.S. (one in three adults) has high blood pressure, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Less than half of those with high blood pressure have it under control. High blood pressure makes your heart work harder and increases your risk of heart attack, stroke or kidney damage. A few of the risk factors for hypertension are beyond our control, including our age, genetic makeup and race. Stress, being overweight, smoking, eating a high-sodium diet, drinking alcohol in excess and living a sedentary lifestyle are all risk factors we can modify. Losing weight often helps lower blood pressure. The DASH diet has gained recognition in lowering blood pressure, but it isn’t necessarily a weight loss diet. “DASH” is short for “Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension.” In a study published in the New England Journal of Medicine, researchers reported that the fruit, vegetable, and low-fat dairy rich diet lowered blood pressure in individuals whether they had normal or high blood pressure. In fact, for the fifth year in a row, in January 2015, the DASH diet was named the “best diet, healthiest diet” by U.S. News and World Report’s expert panel. The initial study for the DASH diet followed 459 participants who ate a typical American diet for three weeks and then were assigned one of three eight-week “intervention diets” including: • The American diet • A diet rich in fruits and vegetables • A diet rich in fruits and vegetables and low-fat dairy products and low in saturated fat While the fruit and vegetable-rich diet decreased blood pressure, the combination of ample fruits/vegetables and low-fat dairy products had the greatest effect on reducing blood pressure. The DASH diet promotes a daily eating plan that includes at least four to five servings of fruits, four to five servings of vegetables and seven to eight servings of grain foods daily, with at least three of those daily grain servings being whole grain. The diet also includes two to three servings of low-fat dairy daily, two servings of lean meat daily and four servings of nuts and seeds per week. In many ways, the diet is very similar to the “MyPlate” recommendations (available free at http://www.choosemyplate.gov). In later studies, the DASH diet was combined with a sodium (salt) restriction, and the blood pressure-lowering results were even better. So, leave the salt shaker in the cupboard, too, and eat fewer processed foods, such as canned soups and dinner mixes. High blood pressure can usually be managed with medication, diet changes and physical activity. See your health professional to learn your number. It takes only minutes. If you’re on blood pressure medications, don’t stop taking them without the advice of a physician. You may want to discuss the DASH diet with your health-care professional, too. Take steps to take care of your heart and know your blood pressure numbers. Here’s a side dish that reinforces the vegetable-rich DASH diet. If your time is limited, substitute CONTINUED ON PAGE B12

How diet and exercise affects health and memory
There is no magic pill to prevent memory loss. Short term memory–what you did yesterday or even what you ate this morning–tends to deteriorate first. The good news is that there are things people can do to help stay healthy physically and mentally throughout their lives. Eating right and moderate exercise, like walking, can really make a difference in the way an older person feels and thinks. Walking and other regular physical exercise reduce stress and can help regulate blood pressure. And the latest research shows that exercise can make older people think more clearly and improve their memory. Another great way to build memory “muscles” and keep the mind limber is to do crossword puzzles, Sudoku and other thinking games. Folic acid–a B vitamin found in leafy greens like spinach and in fortified breads and cereals–is also connected to memory. If there is any chance that our parents might not be getting enough in their diet, most daily vitamin pills will easily solve the problem. People who have too little of this vitamin are more likely to have heart disease and confused thinking. A recent study found that men and women between the age of 50 to 70 who took double the daily recommended dose of folic acid had better memories.

Cooking meals the easy way
Trader’s Dispatch, May 2015 — Page B15
The deadline for advertising in the June issue of the Trader's Dispatch will be May 27. Phone (406) 279-3291.
Preparing meals in advance, making shopping lists, and doing the grocery shopping on a specific day can help make cooking more manageable. Try to find time to create a few meals that are easy to warm up, or can be served cold in the summer, and that will provide a healthy alternative to fast food. If you have easy-to-prepare foods available at home, you won’t need to stop by the grocery store so often. Involve your children in shopping and food preparation to help them appreciate what they are eating. It’s good for them to see you checking labels and prices, and pitching in at mealtime should be everyone’s responsibility. These days there are many cookbooks written just for kids. You can let your children pick a couple of recipes and make dinner with them or let them take a turn each week making a meal all by themselves. You will probably have to stay close by to supervise but you can put your feet up or unwind in other ways while they cook. Not only will your kids learn important life skills, but they will be much more likely to try new foods if they have been involved in preparing them. For those times when you get home late or everyone is just too hungry to spend time cooking, be sure to have, in your freezer or cupboards, quick options that are low in fat. Individual frozen dinners tend to have small portions and be high in fat, salt and calories, but there are frozen family meals that are reasonably healthy and much less expensive than fast food. Whether it’s a family size frozen lasagna or chicken with pasta and vegetables, make sure you check the calories and portion sizes. Most portions sizes listed on packages are much smaller than what people eat. Also, if the package skimps on the veggies, you an easily add more (frozen or fresh) vegetables while you’re cooking. Putting together a family meal at the end of a long day can be challenging, so make dessert one less thing to worry about. There is no law that says that dessert needs to be a part of every meal, so consider limiting dessert to certain nights of the week or special occasions, and if everyone really craves something sweet after dinner, offer fresh fruit.

This year’s award winners for Tree City USA Recognition Day span the state from Scottsbluff to Omaha and from big cities to the village of Potter (population 337). Awards were given by the Nebraska Forest Service at the Nebraska State Capitol on April 1. Jessica Kelling, coordinator for the ReTree Nebraska Initiative, said, “Even one person dedicated to planting trees in a community can make a significant difference in its beauty and vitality, regardless of how populated it is or where it’s located.” Tree City USA awards were given to the following people and organizations, listed by hometown: BASSETT: The Dave Mooter Legacy Award was presented in memory of Ken Minnig. The award is named after Dave Mooter, forester emeritus for the Nebraska Forest Service, and presented to individuals whose lessons, actions, dedication and love for trees carry forward into the future. Minnig was inspired to take action in the mid-1990s after the loss of diseased trees around the community pool. He and other community advocates went on to create a memorial tree program for Memorial Park, develop a community tree ordinance and start an annual Arbor Day program with the Bassett Grade School, which culminated in Bassett’s Tree City USA status. The recipient of the Educator Award is Evelyn Armstrong, who taught at Bassett Grade School for 37 years until her retirement in 2014. For more than 15 years, Armstrong worked closely with the Bassett Tree Board to engage students in planning the annual Arbor Day program. She also worked with students and teachers to develop a special booklet in honor of Ken Minnig. The booklet was for Minnig, his wife Neva and the Tree Board. It includes thumbprint leaves, haiku poems with artwork, signage with online stories about trees and photos of students with trees they planted around the grade school. BELLWOOD: The Business Award was given to Barcel Landscape Products for its support of the Community Forestry program. The business supports many landscape and tree-focused educational opportunities through the Nebraska Statewide Arboretum, Nebraska Nursery and Landscape Association and Nebraska Arborist Association. GOTHENBURG: The Outstanding Tree Care Award went to Jeff Kennedy, owner/operator of Kennedy Landscape Services. Kennedy advocates for trees in Gothenburg and many other communities. He is a member of the Gothenburg Tree Board, curator of Ehmen Park Arboretum and a ReTree Ambassador. Nominators said his professional experience and dedication has served as a model for proper tree care throughout the region. LINCOLN: Diana and Dan Wheeler received the Volunteer Award. Over the past 10 years, the Wheelers have planted numerous trees, shrubs and plants in their yard and the adjacent Commons in the Vintage Heights Neighborhood. Diana is a master gardener and naturalist and Dan is a lifelong birder so part of their goal was to beautify the area and to attract wildlife. The Wheelers also coordinated a volunteer effort to plant trees near the Billy Wolfe Trail and Mendoza Park. OMAHA: ReTree Midtown received the For Future Generations Award for its coordination of the planting of more than 55 trees in 11 neighborhoods over the past seven
years. The initiative was sponsored by the Midtown Neighborhood Alliance and coordinated by John Ransom. Alliance president Diana Failla said the primary goal was sustainable neighborhoods. “Midtown Omaha has a rich heritage of mature trees but devastating storms and disease have dramatically reduced this tree canopy. We have emphasized replacement of largematuring trees and are planting smaller ornamentals only where obstructions exist.” Failla said quality of life and property value improvements motivate their passion for planting. POTTER: The village was awarded the Community Enhancement Award for establishing green space projects throughout the community. Landscape architect Hal Enevoldsen has added many new trees to public areas and worked with homeowners on new plantings. Enevoldsen led the way in incorporating such tree species as English, red and bur oak, Kentucky coffeetree, various species of pine and spruce, Subalpine Fir and Amur corktree. Over the past 14 years, Potter residents have planted nearly 600 trees. SCOTTSBLUFF/GERING: The Media Award was presented to KNEB AM/FM Radio. Programming director Dennis Ernest and morning show host Kevin Mooney bring in local tree experts to help educate local residents on the benefits of trees and general tree selection, planting and care. Ernest and community forester Amy Seiler created a series of “Tree Spots” -- public service announcements that tree advocates and communities can use to educate their communities. The Green Industry Award went to Aulick’s TLC, an active promoter of trees in western Nebraska. In late winter and early spring, owner Annette Aulick and nursery manager Miles Imel offer an educational series on tree selection, planting, mulching and more. Their “Seedlings” program teaches youth about gardening and being good stewards of the land. They donate trees for school Arbor Day plantings, participate in ReTree Nebraska efforts and help coordinate the western summer field days. The Youth Award went to Scottsbluff High School teachers Shane Talkington and Alan Held for their horticulture/landscaping course. Their students helped plant many of the new gardens in downtown Scottsbluff. They also created landscape plans for the new home built by students in construction classes and started vegetable plants for family consumer science classes. This spring they will help plant Scottsbluff’s newest parking lot rain garden.
Disciplining children of all ages
Discipline is used to help children develop self-control. It means setting limits and correcting misbehavior. Disciplines is also used to encourage children, guide them, help them feel good about themselves, and teach them how to think for themselves. Discipline is not the same as punishment. Discipline is all about shaping behaviors while teaching your child right from wrong, how to respect the rights of others, and which behaviors are acceptable and which are not. The goal is a child who feels secure and loved, who is self-confident and selfdisciplined, who knows how to control his impulses, and who does not get overly frustrated with the challenges of everyday life.
Research shows late-season burning helps control sericea
By K-State Research and Extension News It’s a plant that tends to use many weapons to take over grasslands. Starting at the roots, this plant out-competes native plants for water and nutrients. The roots also leak allelopathic chemicals that can prevent germination of other plants. Above the ground, the plant can produce several thousand seeds, so it is highly reproductive. And, it uses its canopy dominance to shade out and prevent native species from thriving. The plant, sericea lespedeza, is a noxious weed that plagues many landowners in Kansas and other U.S. states. Costly herbicide applications have not effectively stopped the plant in many cases, especially when dense areas of the prairie prevent herbicides from reaching and controlling it. KC Olson, beef cattle scientist at Kansas State University, has studied several ways to manage the growth and spread of sericea lespedeza. Cattle will graze around the plant, because it is high in tannin and therefore, unpalatable – just another reason he calls the weed a “marvel of creation.” “As a lover of the Flint Hills, I hate that plant,” Olson said. Olson is currently in year two of a four-year study funded by the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation to examine the effects of growing-season prescribed burning on the vigor of sericea lespedeza. Results from the first year show what Olson considers a breakthrough sericea control. “In about a decade of working with this problem, this is probably the most promising thing I have come across,” Olson said. “We are scheduled for four years of data collection. We need to follow through, but the results from year one were so stunning we had to share them.” When a landowner burns sericea lespedeza during the growing season, the weed will re-sprout, Olson said. The time of the burn often determines how much seed it will produce when it grows back. As part of this study, trial burns were completed in early April, followed by burns at the beginning of August and September. “Spring-burned sericea plants produced about 350-370 seeds per plant,” Olson said. “The plants from the August 1 burn produced seven seeds per plant. The plants burned September 1 produced zero seeds per plant. Forage regrowth between growing season burns and the first killing frost produced at least 1 ton of forage dry matter per acre, which left what we judged to be enough residual plant material to prevent soil organic matter and moisture losses.” Prescribed burning in September Olson recognizes that good research supports early-spring prescribed burning in the Flint Hills. Burning in April allows stocker cattle to witness increased gains from regrowth of prairie grasses during the summer, before these cattle move to the feedlot in the late summer or early fall. “We thought if we applied that prescribed burn at a time when stocker cattle have normally moved off the Flint Hills and into another segment of the beef production chain, we might give our producers another tool to handle (sericea lespedeza),” Olson said. About the beginning of August, sericea lespedeza is just starting to flower, and the beginning of September is when the seedpods start to set, he explained. “We thought stress on sericea at those times would cut into seed production,” Olson said. “We believe that’s a key to control. We also think plants that belong (in the Flint Hills) are not going to be disturbed by late fire timing.” “We know research at the Konza Prairie – applying fire in every month of the year – did not observe any compositional shifts,” he continued. “Granted, that is without the presence of the livestock, but it’s enough information to move forward, take some risks and see if we can do some good for the state.” In the first year of the study, Olson said he also noticed a hit in other woody species the following spring, including smooth sumac, dogwood, eastern red cedar, honey locust and other undesirables that spring burning typically helps eliminate. If the data continues to show that landowners can control sericea lespedeza substantially through late-season burns, he said intensive early-stocking systems could see benefit in using the practice. “I can envision a scenario where a producer who has a big problem with sericea lespedeza burns after the steers leave rather than before the steers come,” Olson said. “I anticipate there will be some sacrifice in performance. Burning costs about 75 cents per acre. Chemical is substantially greater than that. I hear estimates of $8 to $16 per acre. We can probably accept slightly lower steer performance if we can save $15 an acre in chemical cost.” CONTINUED ON PAGE B18

When : Always June 14th Flag Day, is a day for all Americans to celebrate and show respect for our flag, its designers and makers. Our flag is representative of our independence and our unity as a nation.....one nation, under God, indivisible. Our flag has a proud and glorious history. It was at the lead of every battle fought by Americans. Many people have died protecting it. It even stands proudly on the surface of the moon. As Americans, we have every right to be proud of our culture, our nation, and our flag. So raise the flag today and every day with pride! Properly Display Our Flag Care and handling of the American flag is steeped in tradition and respect. There is a right way and a wrong way to display the flag. This is called Flag Etiquette. The American flag should be held in the highest of regards. It represents our nation and the many people who gave their lives for our country and our flag. Here are the basics on displaying the American flag: The flag is normally flown from sunrise to sunset. In the morning, raise the flag briskly. At sunset, lower it slowly. Always, raise and lower it ceremoniously. The flag should not be flown at night without a light on it. The flag should not be flown in the rain or inclement weather. After a tragedy or death, the flag is flown at half staff for 30 days. It’s called “half staff” on land ,and “half mast” on a ship. When flown vertically on a pole, the stars and blue field , or «union», is at the top and at the end of the pole (away from your house). The American flag is always flown at the top of the pole. Your state flag and other flags fly below it. The union is always on top. When displayed in print, the stars and blue field are always on the left. Never let your flag touch the ground, never...period. Fold your flag when storing. Don’t just stuff it in a drawer or box. When your flag is old and has seen better days, it is time to retire it. Old flags should be burned or buried. Please do not throw it in the trash. Did you Know? There is a very special ceremony for retiring the flag by burning it. It is a ceremony everyone should see.Your local Boy Scout group knows the proper ceremony and performs it on a regular basis. If you have an old flag, give it to them. And, attend the ceremony. Famous Flag People: Betsy Ross was a seamstress who made clothes for George Washington. In June, 1776, Washington approached her to make the country’s first flag and the rest is history. Francis Scott Key Inspired by the British bombardment of Fort McHenry, Francis Scott Key penned the lyrics to our national anthem as he witnessed the event as British rockets whizzed in the air while our American Flag flew in the breeze Did you Know? If you like to study flags, then you are a Vexillologist!
Hug Holiday Day
When : Always June 29th Hug Holiday Day encourages us to give hugs to those who need them. On this day, people go out and give hugs at senior citizen centers, hospitals, and other places. The focus is upon elderly, sick and invalid, lonely people and anyone who needs the warmth, cheer, and love that a hug provides. This very special day was created by the “Hugs for Health Foundation”. According to the Foundation: “Hug Holiday is founded on the premise that hugs, friendship and volunteer support are vital components to the overall senior care plan.” Celebrate Hug Holiday Day by: Giving hugs to those who need one Joining Hugs for Heath Making a donation to this or another group

WSU researchers, sleuth resurrect ‘lost’ apples CONTINUED FROM PAGE B19
sends it to identification experts based in Oregon. Using detailed descriptions written in the 19th and early 20th century, as well as old watercolor paintings, they check the flavor, shape and form of the apple, and inspect the structure of its core. If an apple fails in only one identification marker, it must be collected again the following year and sent to other experts across the United States. Scions and spitters From cold storage at the WSU Vogel Plant Biosciences building, Tarlyn carried out a tiny apple tree with bandaged branches, each hung with a silver tag and a name: Nero, Arkansas Beauty, Scarlet Cranberry and Fall Jeneting. “This is a bit of a Frankenstein,” said Tarlyn. “These are lost apple scions, grafted onto a host.” On a base of standard rootstock, Tarlyn attached four heirloom varieties— three discovered on Steptoe, one, Fall Jeneting, found in nearby Colfax, Washington. Two of the apples, Fall Jeneting and Nero, have been confirmed as rediscoveries. Arkansas Beauty and Scarlet Cranberry are considered possible rediscoveries and must undergo further analysis. Apple trees do not breed true. Apples can and do crosspollinate, but out of hundreds of seedlings, only a handful will carry on desirable characteristics. Most feral seedlings are dubbed ‘spitter apples’ (“You take a bite, and spit ‘em out,” Tarlyn said.). Breeders have long known that keeping desirable traits and making new apple varieties requires grafting. “If a tree was any good, you gave it a name,” Tarlyn said. “If somebody liked that apple, you’d take cuttings, or scions, off it, and graft them onto other trees to get that apple back.” He and undergraduate researcher Sonia Weatherly are using the Steptoe scions to propagate new plant material that they can use for grafts. Success means WSU will have a source of germplasm, or genetic materials, for rare varieties, and in a few years, someone may crunch a new Nero. Reclaiming vanished varieties does more than bring back apples with unusual flavor or color. Lost apples could have valuable traits, such as disease resistance or drought tolerance, just waiting to be discovered. “You don’t know what might be there that is of value, until you look at it further,” Tarlyn said. “But if you lose the heritage, it’s gone.” ##### When I am an old coot... I will appear on Wheel of Fortune, and when I solve a puzzle, I will break down and sobbingly confess that the game is rigged and that Vanna gave me the answer for half the loot. ##### When I am an old coot... I will sneak into the nursing home and slip Viagra into the mashed potatoes.

By Julie Garden-Robinson, Food and Nutrition Specialist, NDSU Extension Service A couple of years ago, my husband and I set a goal to exercise more often, so we joined a health club. As a motivator, we are able to receive $40 back on the monthly fee if we each work out 12 times a month. We have met that goal every month, but sometimes one of us has to drag the other one there. Honestly, I can come up with lots of excuses to avoid leaving our house to exercise, especially in the winter. Sometimes my excuses are real: I have a newspaper column due in the morning, for example. Other times, I can come up with a wide variety of tasks that appear to need my attention. Maybe the furniture needs dusting, the spices in the cupboard need to be arranged in alphabetical order, or our dogs need a bath immediately. If we are not motivated early in the month, by the end of the month, we are at the health club every day to meet our 12-visits goal. The staff know us by name and grin at us when we arrive daily starting on the 19th of the month. Sometimes we have a good start at the beginning of the month, then we meander off track around the middle of the month. We certainly know that exercise is important for us to maintain our weight, exercise our heart, and maintain our strength and even our memory. Exercise is a way to reduce the likelihood of chronic diseases, including heart disease, diabetes and cancer. That’s the motivation that got us going on our goal. However, we need to step it up a notch in the coming year. To do that, we need to set some goals. Do you have a goal for the new year? Remember the SMART acronym for goal setting. This process works whether you are saving for a house, vacation or retirement, or whether you are training for a 5K race or trying to lose weight. 1. Set a “specific” goal. For example, what exactly do you want accomplish healthwise in the coming year? Write

##### Did you know that each year 1 in 6 Americans will get sick from a foodborne illness, and 3000 will die after eating contaminated food? Those are the sobering facts, according to the Center for Disease Control. A 30-second water rinse of your produce eliminates some bacteria, but to be extra-safe try this cleaning solution: in a spray bottle mix 2 cups of cold water, 4 tablespoons of white vinegar, and 2 tablespoons of lemon juice. Shake, spray on your fruits and vegetables, and then rinse with tap water. You’ll be glad you did! ##### Some things ain’t funny.

it down. For example, a goal for my husband and me is to increase our physical activity intensity. If he reads this column, my husband will be in for a surprise. I need to add some strength training to my regimen, too. I noticed that when I was hauling heavy boxes to our basement the other day. 2. Be sure the goal is “measureable.” If increasing your amount of exercise is a goal, how will you track it? You can keep track of time spent exercising or number of miles walked, jogged, run or swum. You can track steps taken based on a pedometer, a computer app or other high-tech device. In our case, we can track our progress based on the number of miles we can walk or run on the treadmill. We can monitor our heart rate and get an assessment if we use one of the high-tech treadmills. I can increase the weights on the strength-training equipment. 3. Make sure the goal is “attainable.” Start simple and be sure you need to “reach” a bit toward your goals. The goals should not be beyond your grasp. If you are starting an exercise program, be sure to talk with a health-care provider. I know I will not be training for a body-building contest or a marathon. Maybe I could attain a 5K. I have taken a class on how to use all the machines at the gym, so I have the skills and equipment available. I just need to plop my weary body on the machine and do it. 4. Be sure the goal is “realistic.” Do you have what you need to accomplish the goal? I have an exercise buddy and the reward money back from our health insurance company if we reach our monthly attendance goals. I think I can do this, but I need a new reward to motivate me. Maybe a trip somewhere warm would be motivating. Now I need to set a financial goal, too. A new pair of tennis shoes might be my reward for now. 5. Finally, be sure the goal is “timely.” When are you going to start? Write it on the calendar. We will start our goal at the beginning of January or thereabouts. The NDSU Extension Service has resources to help you meet your food and fitness goals. Visit http://www.ndsu. edu/boomers for ways to motivate yourself for the new year, beginning with nourishing and exercising your muscles in January. Sign up for the free e-newsletter and “like” the Facebook page for daily health tips. Exercise and food choices go hand in hand for maintaining and improving health. If weight loss or maintenance is your goal, focus on fiber-rich, filling foods such as this salsa recipe. Split peas and black beans are excellent sources of fiber. Split Pea Salsa 1 c. dry green or yellow split peas, rinsed 2 1/2 c. water 1 (19-ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed 2 c. frozen corn 1/2 red bell pepper, chopped 1/4 c. fresh cilantro, chopped 1/4 c. lime juice 2 medium tomatoes, diced 1/2 c. onion, diced 1 tsp. ground cumin Optional seasoning (cayenne pepper, hot sauce, etc.) In a medium saucepan, bring peas and water to a boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer until peas are tender (about 20 minutes). Drain and transfer to a large bowl. Wash and prepare all produce. Combine all ingredients in a large bowl. Serve with tortilla chips. Makes 10 servings (about 3/4 c. per serving). Each serving has 110 calories, 0.5 gram (g) of fat, 5 g of protein, 20 g of carbohydrate, 4 g of fiber and 250 milligrams of sodium.
What about babies and TV?

Some parents think that all young children , even infants, can learn from educational TV programs and DVDs, and some buy videos that are intended to make their babies “brainy”. The American Academy of Pediatrics strongly disagrees, saying that children under two should not watch TV or videos. The good news is that parents can save some money: Recent research shows that children who watch these kinds of educational videos know fewer words than children who spend more time interacting with adults and other children. That’s the way infants and very young children learn best.
Do you sit most of the day?
By Julie Garden-Robinson, Food and Nutrition Specialist, NDSU Extension Service I was anticipating food at a “breakfast meeting” and I was correct. Food is not available at every meeting I attend, so it is a welcome treat. I skipped breakfast in anticipation. When I arrived, I eyed the tray of caramel rolls and cinnamon rolls. I was kind of hungry. I opted for the cinnamon roll with a cup of plain coffee. My next meeting occurred an hour later. We had the choice of various whole fruit, water, juice and a variety of large doughnuts. As tempting as the doughnuts looked, I grabbed a banana and a bottle of water. I’m not boasting about my ability to resist food temptations. I’m just trying to continue to wear the same size clothes. With all the potential treats in my path and the amount of sitting I do, some days my job is a recipe for weight gain. Let’s do some calorie counting. My first meeting had enough sweet rolls available for each of us to have two or three. I had one roll, and based on U.S. Department of Agriculture nutrient values, it had about 250 calories. The plain coffee had no calories. I could have added cream and sugar to the tune of 50 calories. At my second meeting, I could have chosen a large glazed doughnut (with about 300 calories), but I opted for the medium-sized banana with about 100 calories. The juice beverage would have added another 90 calories, but I chose the water with no calories. In total, my morning treats provided me with about 350 calories. Had I chosen two rolls, coffee with all the fixings, a doughnut and a fruit drink, I would have consumed about 950 calories. Have you ever wondered how pounds can “creep up” on us? Theoretically, by eating just an extra 100 calories per day beyond what our bodies need, we can gain 10 pounds in a year. Nutrition labels are based on an average caloric need of 2,000 calories in a day. I could have been almost halfway to my daily calorie total by 10 a.m. If I gave in to tempting treats regularly, I would need to go shopping for larger clothing or step up my daily physical activity level. Maybe I need a treadmill in my office. If you are the person planning the food for a meeting, you can boost your attendees’ nutritional intake and help them preserve their waistlines by providing healthful options such as fruit and water. If doughnuts are the usual treat, try providing doughnut balls or cutting the doughnuts in half. Fruit breads, small whole-grain muffins or bagels are other more healthful options. Or how about some string cheese, whole-grain crackers, fat-free yogurt and/or some lightly salted nuts? After sitting at meetings most of the morning, I walked back to my desk to sit some more and work at my computer. How bad is sitting most of the time? Researchers have been studying the hazards of a sedentary lifestyle. Those who sit most of the day may face a greater risk of high blood pressure, heart attacks, obesity and cancer. Reading the research results made me want to stand up immediately and jog out the door. Maybe you spend a lot of time at a computer or perhaps you spend a lot of time sitting and watching TV. Experts suggest that we get up and move every 30 minutes, or we can do exercises from a chair if mobility is an issue. The NDSU Extension Service publication “Stretching Toward Better Health” (http://tinyurl.com/stretchhealth) has many exercises you can do while seated in a chair. I also find that getting up and walking down the hallway to fill my glass with water helps me refocus on a new task, such as writing a weekly column. I also try to keep some portion-controlled snacks at my desk, including whole-grain crackers I portion at home. Sometimes, dried fruit and nuts are a welcome treat when the mid-day slump kidnaps my energy. Some of my colleagues have stand-up desks. I recently acquired a small “stair stepper” that tucks under my desk. I can use it to entertain myself and exercise while I’m on conference calls. The people on the phone call can’t see me bobbing up and down when I am on a speaker phone. If you like an occasional savory snack, here’s a flavorful one with about 120 calories per half cup. You can personalize it with your favorite cereal. Read “Eat Smart: Enjoy Healthier Snacks at Work” (http:// www.ag.ndsu.edu/pubs/yf/foods/fn1398.pdf) for more tips that can be applied to any snacking situation.

Arizona produced 1.01 million pounds of honey in 2014, down 3 percent from 2013. The state had 26,000 producing colonies with an annual yield per colony of 39 pounds. Arizona honey stocks inventory on December 15, 2014 were 193,000 pounds. The value of honey production for 2014 was $2.05 million dollars, up slightly from 2013. The average honey price was $2.02 per pound. Colorado produced 999,000 pounds of honey in 2014, down 11 percent from 2013. The state had 27,000 producing colonies with an annual yield per colony of 37 pounds. Colorado honey stocks inventory on December 15, 2014 were 200,000 pounds. The value of honey production for 2014 was $2.00 million dollars, down 15 percent from 2013. Average honey price was $2.00 per pound. Montana produced 14.26 million pounds of honey in 2014, down 5 percent from 2013. The state had 162,000 producing colonies with an annual yield per colony of 88 pounds. Montana honey stocks inventory on December 15, 2014 were 5.13 million pounds. The value of honey production for 2014 was $29.23 million dollars, down 6 percent from 2013. The average honey price was $2.05 per pound. New Mexico honey production was not published separately to avoid disclosing data for individual operations. Utah produced 812,000 pounds of honey in 2014, down 20 percent from 2013. The state had 29,000 producing colonies with an annual yield per colony of 28 pounds. Utah honey stocks inventory on December 15, 2014 were 130,000 pounds. The value of honey production for 2014 was $1.73 million dollars, down 19 percent from 2013. The average honey price was $2.13 per pound. Wyoming produced 2.32 million pounds of honey in 2014, down 25 percent from 2013. The state had 38,000 producing colonies with an annual yield per colony of 61 pounds. Wyoming honey stocks inventory on December 15, 2014 were 255,000 pounds. The value of honey production for 2014 was $4.78 million dollars, down 27 percent from 2013. The average honey price was $2.06 per pound. U.S Honey production in 2014 from producers with five or more colonies totaled 178 million pounds, up 19 percent from 2013. There were 2.74 million colonies producing honey in 2014, up 4 percent from 2013. Yield per colony averaged 65.1 pounds, up 15 percent from the 56.6 pounds in 2013. Colonies which produced honey in more than one State were counted in each State where the honey was produced. Therefore, at the United States level yield per colony may be understated, but total production would not be impacted. Colonies were not included if honey was not harvested. Producer honey stocks were 41.2 million pounds on December 15, 2014, up 8 percent from a year earlier. Stocks held by producers exclude those held under the commodity loan program. U.S. Honey prices increased to a record high during 2014 to 216.1 cents per pound, up 1 percent from 214.1 cents per pound in 2013. United States and State level prices reflect the portions of honey sold through cooperatives, private, and retail channels. Prices for each color class are derived by weighting the quantities sold for each marketing channel. Prices for the 2013 crop reflect honey sold in 2013 and 2014. Some 2013 crop honey was sold in 2014, which caused some revisions to the 2013 crop prices.

Grazing among grains yields benefits
By Sylvia Kantor, WSU CAHNRS You generally don’t find livestock among the hills in the Palouse region of eastern Washington where grain is grown. But wheat farmers Eric and Sheryl Zakarison are changing that – and making a profit. On 100 of their 1,300 family-owned acres, they are experimenting with a rather unconventional scheme for the region – growing wheat, peas, perennial grasses like alfalfa and sheep in a tightly integrated system. The Zakarisons’ integrated livestock operation also buffers them against market risks like an oversupply of grain. And in the absence of direct payments that were eliminated with the 2014 Farm Bill, it adds an income stream. “This year the dockworker slowdown brought the (alfalfa) hay export industry to its knees, and hay prices plummeted,” Eric Zakarison said. “It turned out to be a better year for lambs than alfalfa.” But diversifying their income streams and boosting profitability isn’t their only motivation for converting to an integrated and organic farming system. Ecosheep The Zakarisons are collaborating with Jonathan Wachter, a soil science doctoral student at Washington State University, to demonstrate how integrated livestock farming in wheat country can contribute to sustainability goals. These include increasing and retaining soil nutrients, adding biodiversity, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and reducing soil erosion. “They are the ones doing the research on their farm because they want to improve their soil,” Wachter said. “All I’m doing is putting their ideas into practice in a research context to generate the data that backs up some of (their ideas). They’re the real innovators.” Wachter has been working with the Zakarisons since 2012, when they established the five-year research project funded by a U.S. Department of Agriculture National Institute of Food and Agriculture grant. It’s a soil thing There’s no question that large-scale, monoculture grain production helps feed the world. But ecologically speaking, it takes a toll. Serious soil, water and air pollution problems can result from soil erosion caused by tilling and from the use of nitrogen fertilizers and synthetic pesticides. “Grain farmers are always looking for ways to improve the soil,” said Eric Zakarison. “One of the best ways to increase biomass and organic matter is to grow perennial grass and legume crops like alfalfa. But then, we have to do something with the crop.” Nutrient cyclers and weeders He said it’s difficult to produce high quality hay on the Palouse, and a late summer rain can ruin a perfectly good crop. But his 65 white Dorper mother ewes can eat lower quality hay and turn it into milk for lambs and meat for local markets while cycling nutrients through the soil system. He explained that ewes with lambs serve as the delivery mechanism for calcium via their milk. Calcium, he said, is an important nutrient for grain that is expensive and otherwise hard to supply for crops. Concerning weeds, organic farming often relies on light but frequent tillage; but on the erosion-prone hills of the Palouse, this is risky business. Cover crops – and grazing sheep – help control weeds. By nibbling weeds very close to the ground, the sheep act as living weeders. They even prefer some weeds, like prickly lettuce, over grass or alfalfa. A study in diversity Of the 1 million-plus acres in the Palouse River drainage that are cultivated, only an estimated 500 acres are organic. Although they are starting small, the Zakarisons plan to eventually convert all of their land into an integrated livestock and organic production system. Wachter’s study compares three different schemes. One treatment follows a conventional rotation of peas, winter wheat and spring wheat with minimum tillage and the use of herbicides and synthetic fertilizers. In an organic treatment, livestock are allowed to graze after three years of growing pasture, supplying nitrogen for the next planting of grain crops. Finally, a hybrid treatment includes livestock plus fertilizer – and herbicides as needed. Austrian winter peas replace the conventional rotation of spring peas and, instead of harvesting a pea crop, sheep graze the crop to return nutrients to the soil. CONTINUED ON PAGE B27
Finding ways to live with deer in MT communities
By Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks A healthy, vibrant population of deer is important to Montanans. When high deer numbers are found on the edge of town or within the city limits, however, conflicts can arise. Deer in an urban setting can damage gardens and ornamental plants, threaten human safety, damage property, and lead to expensive car/deer accidents. Deer begin moving into residential areas for many reasons. The lack of natural predators in town, available food sources, surrounding hunting pressure, and periods of harsh weather conditions are all factors moving deer into the city limits. In most cases, deer will move into towns on a temporary basis. Yet, many towns have open areas with enough cover and forage to hold deer year-round. Deer are highly adaptive, and they soon learn that a certain dog is on a chain, short fences are easy to jump, and scarecrows aren’t that scary. So what can be done to live with deer? There are several repellants that have limited effectiveness, available both commercially and as at-home remedies. Some are only effective for light to moderate deer problems. An inexpensive home remedy that has proven effective for a short time involves using Ivory soap shavings around smaller plants. Fencing is the most effective method to keep deer out of a yard. However, since deer can regularly jump over fences six feet high, a homeowner may have to build fences as high as eight feet. Electric fences and fences that are doubled five feet high and four to five feet apart can also deter deer. Man’s best friend may be the best deterrent. A dog free to roam around a yard will keep even the most tempted deer away from a garden or home. Because deer visit yards mostly at night, it is important that the dog have access to the yards at all hours. People should not, under any circumstances, artificially feed deer. Not only is this illegal in Montana, the diet is unhealthy and can cause deer to adopt habits that put them in more conflicts with humans. If someone appears to be feeding or attempting to attract deer, please contact the local authorities. Being mindful of bird feeders and feed for pets such as rabbits can keep deer from targeting an area. Also, some residents on the edge of towns have hay yards/feeders for horses and cattle. These food sources attract deer, and after feeling more comfortable around human activity, the deer may then venture into town. Lastly, accidents with deer and vehicles can be dangerous and costly. It is best to SLOW DOWN when approaching deer near the roadway. Deer seldom look before crossing a street, so motorists must be aware that deer may run out at any time. Also, do not honk the horn, as the sudden loud noise may cause deer to panic and act erratically. This information and more can be found at the following web site: http://fwp.mt.gov/fishAndWildlife/livingWithWildlife/deer/ In addition, there is a free brochure that is available at your local Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks office called “Living with Deer” that contains additional information and references.

Over the past three years, Wachter said, the organic treatment has been most profitable and shows carbon has increased in the soil (rather than as a greenhouse gas escaping into the air). The verdict is still out on the hybrid scheme. Small, local, nimble Though diversity provides ecological and economic stability to farming, it also requires a lot of work. Neighboring wheat farmers don’t understand why the Zakarisons are doing this. “They think it’s way too much work,” Eric Zakarison said. “You’re out there in blizzards, deep snow drifts, mud – and then lambing is going on when you’re getting ready to plant in spring. It takes that extra work and extra income to make it now. “But we stay diverse, small and nimble,” he said. “We market locally and we make it.” Find more information on integrated livestock farming at the WSU Center for Sustaining Agriculture and Natural Resources (http://csanr.wsu.edu/livestock-crop-integration/). ###### Seniors may be the unsung heroes of this country, but their songs rarely hit the charts

Climate change, plant roots may accelerate carbon loss
By Gail Wells, Oregon State University Soil, long thought to be a semi-permanent storehouse for ancient carbon, may be releasing carbon dioxide to the atmosphere faster than anyone thought, according to Oregon State University (OSU) soil scientists. In a study published recently in the online edition of the journal Nature Climate Change, the researchers showed that chemicals emitted by plant roots act on carbon that is bonded to minerals in the soil, breaking the bonds and exposing previously protected carbon to decomposition by microbes. The carbon then passes into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide (CO2), said the study’s coauthor, Markus Kleber, a soil scientist in OSU’s College of Agricultural Sciences. He said the study challenges the prevailing view that carbon bonded to minerals stays in the soil for thousands of years. “As these root compounds separate the carbon from its protective mineral phase,” he said, “we may see a greater release of carbon from its storage sites in the soil.” It’s likely that a warming climate is speeding this process up, he said. As warmer weather and more carbon dioxide in the air stimulate plants to grow, they produce more root compounds. This will likely release more stored carbon, which will enter the atmosphere as CO2—which could in turn accelerate the rate of climate warming. “Our main concern is that this is an important mechanism, and we are not presently considering it in global models of carbon cycling,” Kleber said. CO2 is a major driver of the current warming of Earth’s atmosphere. By failing to account for accelerated soil-carbon decomposition, the study suggests, current climate-change models may be underestimating carbon loss from soil by as much as 1 percent per year. “There is more carbon stored in the soil, on a global scale, than in vegetation or even in the atmosphere,” said Kleber. “Since this reservoir is so large, even small changes will have serious effects on carbon concentrations in the atmosphere, and by extension on climate.” One percent may not sound like much, he added. “But think of it this way: If you have money in the bank and you lose 1 percent per year, you would be down to two thirds of your starting capital after only 50 years.” Between 60 and 80 percent of organic matter entering the soil gets broken down within the first year in a chain of decomposition that ends with CO2, Kleber said. Most of the remaining carbon gets bound to the soil’s minerals through a variety of physical and chemical mechanisms. When this happens, the carbon is protected because the microbes can’t get at it to break it down. For the past couple of decades, scientists have assumed that these carbon-mineral bonds amounted to a long-lasting “sink” for soil carbon—keeping it out of the atmosphere by storing it in a stable form over many centuries. “But from the beginning, there was a question that made a lot of folks uneasy,” said Kleber. “If carbon keeps going into the soil and staying there, then why aren’t we drowning in carbon? Isn’t there some process that takes it back into the cycle? That part was not very well researched, and it was what we were trying to find.” The researchers tested three model compounds for common “root exudates”—chemicals commonly excreted by plant roots—to see how strongly each one stimulated the microbes that drive organic-matter decomposition. In the laboratory, using a syringe and pump, they applied oxalic acid, acetic acid and glucose to soil taken from a dry-climate agricultural area and a wet-climate forest, both in Oregon. They conducted the experiment over 35 days to simulate a flush of root growth in the spring. Prevailing theory, said Kleber, would predict that the hungry microbes would respond most strongly to the nutritious glucose, which would give them the energy to tackle the rest of the organic matter, including the carbon. “And this is likely happening to a certain extent,” he said. “But our big surprise was that the energy-poor oxalic acid generated a much stronger response from the microbes than the energy-rich glucose.” When they analyzed the water stored in the oxalic acidtreated soil, the researchers saw there was eight times more dissolved carbon in it than there had been before. Additional laboratory tests confirmed the finding that the acids were breaking the carbon-mineral bonds. “The significance of this research,” Kleber said, “is that we have documented for the first time a mechanism by which long-stored soil carbon is cycled back into the system.” CONTINUED ON PAGE B29
More US wheat in 2015/16
By Casey Chumrau, US Wheat Associates Market Analyst USDA released its Grains and Oilseeds Outlook for the 2015/16 harvest at its annual Agricultural Outlook Forum February 20 in Arlington, Virginia. Despite lower expected planted acres, USDA predicted a 5 percent increase in total U.S. wheat production in 2015/16. Considering the winter crop is still dormant and the spring crop is not yet in the ground, weather conditions the next six months will be a major factor in helping U.S. wheat farmers meet or beat that expectation. Drought conditions that forced high abandonment rates last year are still a concern in the southern and central plains but overall crop conditions are better than this time last year. USDA projected a higher ratio of harvested acres and better yields. The combination of these factors would help total U.S. production reach 57.8 million metric tons (MMT) or 2.12 billion bushels in 2015/16, up from 55.1 MMT (2.02 billion bushels) in 2014/15 and just slightly ahead of the five-year average. In its January 12 Winter Wheat Seedings report, USDA estimated that farmers planted 40.5 million acres (16.4 million hectares) to winter wheat for the 2015/16 crop, a 3 percent decline from 2014/15. Assuming normal weather conditions, USDA forecasted the average yield up 3 percent to 45.2 bushels per acre (3.04 MT per hectare), equal to the five-year average. The first estimate of spring wheat and durum planted projected a 4 percent increase from last year to 15.0 million acres (6.08 million hectares). As spring wheat typically accounts for less than one third of total wheat acres, the projected increase would not fully offset the estimated decline in winter wheat planted area. Commercial wheat sales for 2014/15 to date may help explain these mixed planting numbers. Despite futures contracts at or near multiple-year lows, U.S. wheat prices have been relatively high on the world market this marketing year. Sales-to-date of hard red winter (HRW) and soft red winter (SRW) are less than last year due in part to a drop in demand from Brazil and China. However, sales of both hard red spring (HRS) and durum are well ahead of last year’s pace and both will likely exceed the five-year average. Overall, USDA estimated 46 percent (26.5 MMT, 974 million bushels) of the total U.S. crop will be exported in 2015/16. While USDA will not release its first official 2015/16 global supply and demand estimates until May, it did comment at the Outlook Forum that world wheat production will likely fall shy of the record 725 MMT (26.6 billion bushels) reached in 2014/15. However, current excellent growing conditions in several major importing countries will likely limit global wheat trade and keep export competition very strong. As a result, USDA predicted 2015/16 U.S. exports will increase 8 percent from 2014/15 to 26.5 MMT (974 million bushels) but fall short of the five-year average of 29.6 MMT (1.09 billion bushels). Presuming these predictions will be realized, USDA projected 2015/16 U.S. ending stocks at 20.8 MMT (764 million bushels), their highest since 2010/11. While there is still a lot of time before the new crop hits the market, there is a good chance that the United States will once again have ample supply to meet both projected imports and any special needs that arise.

Oxalic acid is a good stand-in for a whole suite of root compounds that are excreted by plants in the root zone, Kleber said. “Roots excrete several compounds similar to oxalic acid. We can assume that many root exudates act in a similar way.” Kleber collaborated on the study with his doctoral student Marco Keiluweit and researchers from Australia and the United States. The work was funded by a U.S. Department of Energy grant and directed by Jennifer Pett-Ridge at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in Livermore, California.

By Sylvia Kantor, WSU CAHNRS Prickly lettuce, a common weed that has long vexed farmers, has potential as a new cash crop providing raw material for rubber production, according to Washington State University (WSU) scientists. Writing in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, they describe regions in the plant’s genetic code linked to rubber production. The findings open the way for breeding for desired traits and developing a new crop source for rubber in the Pacific Northwest. “I think there’s interest in developing a temperate-climate source of natural rubber,” said Ian Burke, a weed scientist at WSU and a study author. “It would be really great if prickly lettuce could become one of those crops.” Potential for sustainable source When the lettuce we eat and grow in our gardens bolts, a milky white sap bleeds from the stem. In prickly lettuce, the wild relative and ancestor of cultivated lettuce, this same substance could prove to be an economically viable source of natural rubber and help alleviate a worldwide threat to rubber production. Natural rubber is the main ingredient for many everyday products, from boots to condoms to surgical gloves. Roughly 70 percent of the global supply of rubber is used in tires. But more than half of rubber products are made from synthetic rubber derived from petrochemical sources. And the largest source of natural rubber, the Brazilian rubber tree, is threatened by disease. Burke has reviewed many studies of prickly lettuce and its cultivated cousins, but one in particular gave him an idea. A study published in 2006 found that the latex in prickly lettuce was very similar to the polymers found in natural rubber. “It occurred to me that we could grow the heck out of prickly lettuce in eastern Washington,” he said. He knew that to develop a viable new crop for rubber production, he had to start by understanding the genetics of rubber production in the plant. Burke, doctoral student Jared Bell and molecular plant scientist Michael Neff began their studies with two distinct samples of prickly lettuce collected from eastern Washington. These differed in their rubber content, leaf shape and tendency to bolt. The scientists were able to identify genetic markers not only for rubber content but for the way the plants grow, including the number of stems produced and bolting. Sought-after traits in cultivated lettuce – like abundant leaves, a single stem and delayed bolting – are the exact opposite of traits desired for rubber production. Early bolting plants with multiple stems would allow for multiple harvests over the season and potentially maximize rubber yields. Burke said that selecting for other traits, like water use efficiency, could allow prickly lettuce to be grown with minimal rainfall, meaning it could be grown in rotation with other crops. The study was funded in part by a special U.S. Department of Agriculture/NIFA grant – Biomass for Biofuels and Bioproducts from Weedy Plants. See Bell et al. (2015).

Frog Jumping Day
When: Always on May 13th Frog Jumping Day is a great day to jump like a frog. Or, is today intended to jump “over” a frog? Either way, today is a fun day. But, is this truely the reason for this day? Read on......... The roots of Frog Jumping Day go back to Mark Twain’s first short story. It was first published in 1865 as “Jim Smiley and His Jumping Frog”. Later, he published it as “The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County”. It is also known under a third title “The Notorious Jumping Frog of Calaveras County”. While we have discovered many links and references to Frog Jumping Day evolving from this Mark Twain short story, we have yet to discover the reason for this particular date. May 13th is neither the date of Mark Twain’s birth , nor his death. How is the best way to celebrate Frog Jumping Day? Read Mark Twains story “Jim Smiley and His Jumping Frog” Also, we don’t think Mark Twain would mind if you jumped like a frog or jumped a frog today.

The DH-50 and 60 series Pillar drills are 5 plex toolbars with parallel lifting sub frames to lift and lower the double shoot Disc/Hoe openers. The main toolbar does not move to lift the openers out of the ground. With depth stops on the cylinders it is very easy to maintain the correct frame height as the disc wears or when changing seeding depth. They also feature a rear walking beam that keeps all the transport wheels on the ground. This feature removes the stress on the frame during transport and keeps the toolbar as level as possible in the field. There are walking axles on the transport wheels as well, these features keep an even load on all four corners of the toolbar all the time. The DH5010 and DH6010 Pillar disc drills come with Flexi-Coil easy flow headers but can be adapted to other air carts as well. These two models come with an 8 run, double shoot air pack.

The use of sexed semen in beef industry: The next frontier? By Chance Marshall, University of Wyoming Extension educator specializing in livestock systems and ruminant nutrition
Many dairy producers across the country use gender-selected semen to maximize the number of heifer calves born. The value of bull calves is minimal in the dairy industry, and increased heifer progeny potentially allows for greater internal growth and/or shortened generation intervals. Sexed semen has been commercially available for the past decade to dairy producers. The increasing amount of data has allowed for technological advancements and a better understanding of what to expect using sexed semen. However, because a reduction in artificial insemination (AI) conception rates has been consistently reported, adoption of this new practice has been much slower in the beef industry and has only recently become commercially available to producers. Much less data is available to measure feasibility within the beef industry. Nevertheless, the potential benefits of sexed semen in the beef industry are exciting and in time may be a viable application to a more successful
operation. How the Process Works Sorting sperm cells by gender is done through a process known as flow cytometry. Fluorescent dye that binds to DNA is added to the semen collection. Female X chromosomes are larger (3-4 percent) and contain greater amounts of DNA compared to male Y chromosomes. Female spermatozoa will absorb a greater amount of dye causing them to fluoresce brighter than male spermatozoa counterparts. The flow cytometer machine slowly separates individual sperm cells and sends each cell through a fluorescence measuring station in which a laser detects the intensity of the glow and then separates sperm cells with about 90 percent accuracy. Not all cells are properly oriented when they pass through the machine, and some sperms cells are lost. Because of this added process, units of sexed semen are more expensive and contain fewer numbers of sperm cells compared to conventional semen units. CONTINUED ON PAGE B33
New procedure to test NDV vaccines
By Sandra Avant, Agricultural Research Service U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) scientists have developed an improved Newcastle disease virus (NDV) vaccine evaluation procedure that could be used to select better vaccines to treat the disease. Newcastle disease, one of the most important poultry diseases worldwide, can cause severe illness in chickens and other birds. Severe, or virulent, strains rarely occur in poultry species in the United States, but they are regularly found in poultry in many foreign countries. Available commercial NDV vaccines perform well in chickens infected with virulent NDV under experimental conditions. They also perform well under field conditions where virulent virus is not common. However, they often fail in countries where virulent viruses are endemic. At the Agricultural Research Service’s (ARS) Southeast Poultry Research Laboratory (SEPRL) in Athens, Georgia, microbiologist Claudio Afonso and veterinary medical officer Patti Miller have updated the traditional vaccine evaluation method, which does not compare vaccines or take into account suboptimal field conditions. Under perfect conditions, vaccines should work, but conditions are not always perfect in the field, according to Miller. Chickens sometimes get less than the required vaccine dose and don’t always have the minimum amount of time required to develop an optimum immune response. The improved vaccine-evaluation procedure compares vaccines made using genes from the same viral strain-or genotype-that the birds are exposed to in the field to vaccines made with a strain that differs from the virus birds are exposed to. Using the improved procedure, scientists inoculated chickens with different vaccine doses before exposure to a high dose of virulent NDV. Birds given the genotype-matched vaccine had reduced viral shedding, superior immune responses, reduced clinical signs, and increased survival than the birds vaccinated with a different-genotype vaccine. By using genotype-matched vaccines, viral shedding and death were significantly reduced. ARS is USDA’s principal intramural scientific research agency, and this research supports the USDA priority of promoting international food security. ##### When I am an old coot...

The use of sexed semen in beef industry CONTINUED FROM PAGE B32
Data from studies during the past decade indicate the decreased number of sperm cells contained in units of sexed semen has led us to expect a 10- 20 percent decrease in pregnancy rates of heifers or cows showing heat compared to using conventional semen. These reports consistently show females who fail to show heat should not be mass bred using a timed AI protocol because the lack of response is much more severe with sexed semen. Technology and sorting ability is improving, and the number of beef bulls with sexed semen available has expanded substantially since the first units of sexed semen became commercially available to beef producers in 2008. Today, there are enough sires with sexed semen available to begin to satisfy the needs of seedstock producers and have commercial producers considering using sexed semen in their operations. Application into the Beef Industry With drought recovery and decreased herd numbers, proponents of sexed semen believe herd expansion is near, and quality replacement beef heifers will continue to be demanded at record prices. If so, the increased returns on quality replacement heifers could make up for lower pregnancy rates. On the other hand, steer calves are heavier and worth more at weaning. Perhaps using Y-sorted (male) semen may be beneficial for some producers. Steer calves are usually heavier at weaning and worth more per pound. Premiums may be possible for those producers who have the ability to produce complete loads of steer calves. These premiums, combined with the extra pounds at weaning, could compensate for the increased cost of sorted semen and decreased conception rates. It should also be considered that first calf heifers should represent the best genetics within the herd. Therefore, reducing incidences of dystocia is vital. Generally, there is less calving difficulty associated with heifers giving birth to heifer calves than bull calves. This potentially means if female semen was used on first calf heifers, dystocia issues could be greatly reduced, especially if the semen came from calving ease sires. Producers could take advantage of their best genetics and select only elite cows to produce replacements. This could potentially lead to decreased generation intervals while allowing most of their mature cows to be bred to a terminal sire – likely adding sale value to their calf crop. Most of the information available on sexed semen in the beef industry comes from herds already well-adapted to artificial insemination. However, the use of sexed semen may be a viable option for beef operations that already have herds involved in artificial insemination and have assessed the risks involved in decreased pregnancy rates. For those producers willing to take the risk, increased profits and considerable genetic improvements may be on their horizon.
Sunglasses Day
When : Always June 27th Sunglasses Day is a shady day for your eyes. Summer is in full swing. The sun is high in the sky. It’s blindingly bright. A pair of UV protection sunglasses is definitely in order. Why do people wear sunglasses? There’s lots of reasons, including: You want to be a movie star and they all wear sunglasses. You’re looking to hide behind a big, dark pair of sunglasses, and travel unseen through the streets. A little espionage, eh!? You want to make a fashion statement. And, Oh yes.... A few of us wear sunglasses to protect our eyes from the harmful rays of the sun. Did you know? Sunglasses protect your eyes from harmful UV rays. Your Optician will tell you that sunglasses with UV protection, will help to avoid cataracts. They also report that UV rays can be stronger in the winter, as the sun’s rays hit you on the way down....and as it is reflected back up from the snow. Enjoy Sunglasses Day with a shady, mysterious and fashionable pair of sunglasses.

Wheat crop tour strengthens relationships
Building mutual trust and long-term business relationships takes time and commitment. As a part of market development activities, one important activity U.S. Wheat Associates and the Montana Wheat and Barley Committee employ to create stronger partnerships with overseas customers is to invite them to have a firsthand look at the U.S. wheat crop. That is what a team of six flour milling executives from Japan’s leading milling companies will do during their trip to the Pacific Northwest from April 30 to May 8, 2015. “Japan imports large amounts of U.S. wheat so it is important for the Japanese flour milling industry to regularly exchange views and information with U.S. wheat organizations and businesses,” said Mr. Masaaki Kadota, executive director of Japan’s Flour Millers Association. “We really appreciate your efforts to support our needs as your customers.” U.S. Wheat collaborated with the Montana Wheat and Barley Committee, Oregon Wheat Commission and Washington Grain Commission to organize and host this trade team. “There is nothing better than strengthening the mutual trust I have with those whom I meet each year,” said Kadota.
The team will make stops in Oregon, Washington and Montana. During meetings with wheat farmers, grain industry representatives and university researchers, the team will discuss the U.S. wheat market, including potential quality, availability and price. The team will also discuss current views on competitive markets, dietary trends and the role innovations in wheat breeding will have in balancing future world food supply demands with the need for less impact on the environment. “Japanese flour millers demand the best and pay premium prices for Montana wheat,” said Montana Wheat and Barley Committee Executive Director Collin Watters. “This trade mission represents an important opportunity to relay information across the industry and build relationships. These exchanges are critical to maintaining market share for Montana’s farmers and driving growth for their high quality grain.” The Montana Wheat and Barley Committee is a producer funded and directed check-off organization for wheat and barley growers in the state. Its mission is to protect and foster the health and prosperity of the Montana wheat and barley industry.
International Jugglers Day and World Juggler’s Day
Feed Truck For Sale
Date When Celebrated : International Juggler’s Day - always April 18th World Juggler’s Day - Saturday Closest to June 17th International Jugglers Day and World Juggler’s Day celebrates the skill of juggling, and those talented people who can juggle many balls and objects at a time. Common objects include: balls, clubs, swords, plates, rings, and flaming sticks. The best jugglers can juggle up to ten balls at a time. Juggling is a skill and form of entertainment that has been around for thousands and thousands of years. Some of the earliest recorded history supplies proof that juggling was around during the early days of civilized Man. Juggling is primarily entertainment. It is most well documented in Medieval times in Europe. It remains popular today. It can be most frequently seen when the circus comes to town. Some might suggest that office workers are juggles, as they multi- task and keep several “balls” (projects) going at the same time. Celebrate Juggling Day by watching a juggler at work. Better still, get several balls and give juggling a try. ‘Ya never know, you just might be a talented juggler! According to Juggler James Reid: “World Juggling Day was originally established in the mid 1980’s as “National Juggling Day” by the International Jugglers’ Association (IJA).”

What does TV teach your children?
Would you let a stranger come into your house and spend a few hours a day with your children without supervision? Wouldn’t you want to carefully check this person out first? Letting your children watch TV programs you are not familiar with can have the same impact as letting a stranger into your house. TV programs shape children’s ideas, values, opinions about other people and activities, as well as their words and behavior. The standards for the content of daytime TV programs are much different than they used to be, and cable TV programs have even looser standards because the networks point out that people are paying for–and therefore choosing–them. Even the programs you love can influence how your child thinks and acts in ways you might not like. Desperate housewives and know-it-all kids may say things that are funny to you, but chances are you won’t be laughing when the same lines come out of your nine-year-old’s mouth. Hundreds of studies conclude that kids who watch TV: • Imitate the words, violence, sexy ideas, and taunts that they see on TV. • Learn that violence is a way to solve problems and become numb to it. • Identify with certain characters, some of which parents may not like. You might wonder how studies can prove that TV influences kids. Some researchers show kids a TV program featuring a particular behavior and then watch them in daycare or school to see if they imitate it (they do!). Other researchers ask kids to keep a diary of all the programs they watch on TV and video games they play, and then ask their teachers (who don’t see the diaries) which kids are bullies, which ones have behavior problems, and which ones help others. The researchers then find out whether children with certain TV and video game habits tend to have problem behaviors. The research shows that children who watch violent TV shows or play violent video games are much more likely to be identified by their teachers as having problems. When parent supervise their children’s TV viewing, they can increase the good things kids learn and decrease the bad things. That is one reason why you should watch TV with your kids when possible, and why kids should watch TV in a room that you or other adults spend a lot of time in. TVs do not belong in children’s bedrooms–no matter how old your children are. It is very hard to control what your child watches and for how long–something all parents should be interested in doing–if the TV is in a child’s bedroom.

own trade names. In 2014, the company released a formulation for blueberries, and is now working on a third for apples. The inventors and OSU share a 5 percent royalty on all revenue derived from SureSeal technology. Parka, Cultiva’s product for cherries, is now in its third commercial season. The two recommended spring applications cost growers about $75 per acre each. Long estimated that the product could save $16,500 worth of cherries per acre in a rainy Oregon spring. Cultiva expects to sell 29,000 gallons of product to about 300 cherry and blueberry growers in Oregon, Washington, British Columbia and Georgia, said Sean Musser, the company’s vice president for business development. SureSealbased products are also being marketed in Canada, Chile and Australia.
Armed Forces Day
When : Third Saturday in May This is simply a day to salute sharply to all of the men and women in all branches of the service who protect our country and you. They can be called upon at a moment’s notice to perform a risky and perilous mission for freedom and country. They train diligently both physically and mentally so they will be prepared to prevail in any mission they face. Just how did it all begin? Well, each branch of the military had their own day of celebration. But, on August 31, 1949 then Secretary of Defense Louis Johnson announced the creation of Armed Forces Day. President Harry Truman also announced the holiday in a presidential proclamation on February 20, 1950. All branches of the military were asked to celebrate on this day and they complied on the first Armed Forces Day which was held the following year on May 20, 1950.

Ground water sampling program
The Pondera County Conservation District announces a new ground water sampling program. Rural water users have expressed concern about the potential effects on water supply from past and future oil development. Water users voiced concerns about chemical storage, production water disposal, frack water injection, waste management accidents at wheel-heads or injection pits, and large withdrawals of ground water. The Montana Department of Natural Resources and Conservation (DNRC) and Montana Salinity Control Association (MSCA) are assisting the conservation district with this program. The purpose of this program is to establish a baseline of current conditions in the water quality. Wells that have been impacted by oil and gas development will be evaluated. Pondera County Conservation will assist landowners by looking at their well’s proximity to a potential source of contamination such as active or abandoned oil/gas wells, and waste management or chemical management areas. Landowner’s interest and well accessibility will be a part of the ground water sampling program. In most cases wells will be registered with an assigned Ground Water Information Center Number (GWIC) at the time the well was filed and/ or through the DNRC water right process, but the wells will need a GWIC number. Each well in this program will be evaluated on-site for field dimensions and water availability. Well samples will be studied for indicators of contamination specific to gas/ oil development activities and compared with drinking water standards. Many characteristics of the water will be analyzed such as: calcium, potassium, magnesium, sodium, bromide, fluoride, chloride, sulfate, carbonate, bicarbonate, iron, manganese and other metals, methane, ethane, ethene, gasoline and diesel range organics, BTEX-benzene, toluene, ethyl benzene, and xylene. Bottles and sampling instructions will be provided for the well owner to submit personally for nitrate and coliform/bacteria. This is voluntary, at well owners expense and not covered by the grant. Pondera County residents can participate in this program for $100.00. Well sampling and lab fees can be much higher, but a DNRC grant covers most of the ($1200) expense so that Pondera County residents can participate at a cost of $100.00. A signed participation agreement from the well owner is required. If you are interested in participating in this ground water sampling program please contact Lorrie Grosfield, Administrator for the Pondera County Conservation District at 406-278-7611 x 101, or email ponderacd@macdnet.org.
4-H’ers place in N.D. hippology contest

The team members are Brooke Heidrich, Ashley Goldade, Brenna Hoger and Morgan Henke. The hippology event is a contest of knowledge of horses and equine care. This contest consisted of a written test, five stations of identification of horses and related equipment, and a team problem. Teams consist of three or four youth. The scores of the top three members of each team are added to make a team score. The second-place team is from Grand Forks County. Team members are Alanna Ivers, Gretchen Ivers, Emily Joerger and Isaac Joerger. The Griggs County team of Larissa Feiring, ShaeLynn Johnson, Taylor Zimprich and Jena Anderson placed third. Taylor Zimprich was high individual in the senior division. In the junior division, the team of Abby Sigvaldsen, Logan Lapica, Calli Hennessy and Jossi Meyer from Mountrail County placed first. The entire team worked together on all parts of the contest. The second-place team is from Ransom County. Its members are Lydia Lyons, Kenna Sorby and Sadie Jameson. The Kidder County team, with members Star Starks, Morgan Dulton and Elayna Kramlich, placed third. In the open division, teams from Sargent and Mountrail counties placed first and second, respectively. Awards for the contest were sponsored by the North Dakota Winter Show through support of the North Dakota 4-H Foundation.

Report changes to the Marketplace
If you – or anyone in your household – have enrolled for 2015 health coverage through the Health Insurance Marketplace and advance payments of the premium tax credit are paid to your insurance company, it is important that you report changes in circumstances such as changes in your income or family size, to your Marketplace. Advance payments of the premium tax credit provide financial assistance to help you pay for the insurance you buy through the Marketplace. Having at least some of your credit paid in advance directly to your insurance company will reduce the out-of-pocket cost of the health insurance premiums you’ll pay each month. However, if your situation changes, it is important to notify the Marketplace about any changes in circumstances so that the Marketplace can adjust your advance payment amount. This adjustment will decrease the likelihood of a significant difference between your advance credit payments and your actual premium tax credit. Changes in circumstances that you should report to the Marketplace include, but are not limited to: An increase or decrease in your income Marriage or divorce The birth or adoption of a child Starting a job with health insurance Gaining or losing your eligibility for other health care coverage Changing your residence For the full list of changes you should report, visit Healthcare.gov. If you report changes in your income or family size to the Marketplace when they happen in 2015, the advance payments will more closely match the credit amount on your 2015 federal tax return. This will help you avoid getting a smaller refund than you expected, or even owing money that you did not expect to owe. ##### If your windows are frosting over, dissolve 1 tablespoon salt in 1 gallon hot water and rub on the panes with a soft cloth. Then wipe away with a dry cloth. This will keep your windows frostfree. ##### “Ninety percent of the politicans give the other ten percent a bad reputation.”

Best strategy to help farmers access local food markets
By University of Idaho A University of Idaho (UI) research project seeks strategies to help small- to medium-sized farms supply foods to local markets. One of the first efforts of the USDA-funded project will be a survey of restaurant and grocery stores to better understand how consumers’ desire for local foods translates to dollars and cents for farmers and those who buy their products. The National Institute of Food and Agriculture funded the three-year project for $500,000 to support efforts by University of Idaho Extension educators focused on small farms, agricultural economists and other UI researchers. The survey led by Aaron Johnson, a College of Agricultural and Life Sciences economist, will ask grocery store produce department managers and restaurant produce buyers about factors that influence their decisions to buy local produce. “We’re basically trying to figure out how large the market is for local foods,” Johnson said, “and the challenges grocery store and restaurant buyers might face.” The survey focuses on buyers in Idaho, Washington and Oregon. Tomatoes are one of the survey’s test cases, Johnson said, because consumers buy a lot of them and they can be grown commercially in the Northwest. The survey questions probe buyers’ views on the tradeoffs related to the price of produce versus the distance it must travel and its seasonal availability. “Our motivation is that a lot of people have looked at what consumers want when they favor local produce,” Johnson said, “but few if any have looked at how that translates to actions at the retailer or restaurant-producer interactions.” Darin Saul, the college’s grant writer, is the project director. The survey data will help to develop strategies farmers can use. Other goals for the study include evaluating strategies for local and regional food processing and distribution and estimating their economic impact. The study’s interdisciplinary approach also draws on College of Science faculty members Tim Frazier and Ray Dezzani and College of Business and Economics professor Shenghan Xu. UI Extension small farms program educator Cinda Williams and economist Paul Lewin will deliver educational trainings to farmers to help them access local and regional opportunities. The project includes an advisory board of food industry, state, economic development and farmer representatives from Boise, Caldwell, Nampa, Twin Falls and Moscow.
100th WSU wheat variety honors W. J. Spillman
By Sylvia Kantor, WSU CAHNRS The release of a new winter wheat variety named “Jasper” honors the legacy of the wheat breeding program at Washington State University (WSU) started by William Jasper Spillman in 1894. The first variety developed by the university was released in 1905. Jasper marks the 100th. The milestone variety (formerly WA8169) has been approved for seed production; foundation seed was planted last fall. Registered seed will be available in fall 2016 when seed dealers will plant Jasper for production of certified seed. Certified seed will be widely available to wheat farmers in fall 2017. Arron Carter, leader of the WSU winter wheat breeding program, is credited with developing Jasper. “This variety has very good adult plant resistance to stripe rust, good end-use quality and a high yield potential,” he said. “It has broad adaptability over a range of planting environments, which means it can maintain yield potential under a range of rainfall conditions.” Jasper was developed for the 12- to 18-inch precipitation zone in Washington. Carter said he recognizes that the breeding program at WSU, including the 100th variety, is built on the hard work of several generations of wheat breeders including Spillman, Orville Vogel, Bob Allan, Clarence Peterson, Steve Jones and others. He credits his predecessors for the material he works with, which is so well adapted to the conditions of the Pacific Northwest. Crop performance data for 2014 can be found at http:// variety.wsu.edu/2014/index.htm.

Ranching with profit brings its own considerations
By Bridger Feuz, University of Wyoming Extension livestock marketing specialist Ideal circumstances have led to substantial profits for cattlemen the last couple of years. Demand for beef has remained relatively strong, while the supply of beef has been quite low. In addition, feed and other input prices have moderated. This combination of factors has made now a great time to be in the cow-calf business; however, this success has led to something many ranchers may be unaccustomed to managing – significant profits. Therefore, managing these profits in a way that will build equity and value in their ranching operations is critical for producers. By wisely managing profits in the good times, producers can better weather bad times and significantly impact their future success. Managing Profitability What is the best way to manage in times of profitability? I have seen many data sets that would suggest the top 20 percent of producers are generally profitable even in moderately bad years when many other producers are seeing losses. Given this information, I think a good approach to managing in today’s conditions is to look at the characteristics that make this top 20 percent consistently profitable. Several data sets would suggest the top 20 percent of producers are generally the low-cost producers except they invest more money on range and pasture improvements and genetics. I think the key is they invest their money on things that will bring lasting value to their operations. Taxes are one of the consequences of substantial profits, and ranchers are only able to defer taxes for so long. This often leads to decisions to utilize profit to mitigate taxes by buying/updating equipment, vehicles, and other depreciable assets. While sometime this new equipment is needed, other times it is just a convenient way to spend some money. However, these purchases do not lead to long-term profitability and do not significantly enhance the equity of the ranch. A better use of these profits is to take an example of the top 20 percent and seek out investments that will increase the value of the ranch over time. Does this mean ranchers now have a blank check for making range and pasture improvements, improving genetics, and other investments? Obviously, the answer is no. Careful consideration and planning is important in choosing the right opportunities to add value to the operation. Offer Ways to Assist University of Wyoming Extension has several resources to help with these decisions including specialists who focus on range management as well as livestock genetics. A great place to start is your local extension educator. Another resource available through UW Extension is the website I developed to help producers make these sorts of decisions. The website is www.uwyoextension.org/ranchtools. The Wyoming Ranch Tools website has several examples and fact sheets to help guide you through the process. In addition, I am available to help guide you through the use of any of the tools. Just contact me at bmfeuz@uwyo. edu or (307) 783-0570. Managing in times of profitability is a good problem to have, but it is just as important to be vigilant with profit as it is to be vigilant with cost reduction in low profitability conditions. Take time to consider those improvement projects you have been considering or take inventory of opportunities that exist with your ranch resource base.

Options for winterkilled alfalfa
By James Stordahl, Clearwater/Polk County Extension, Minnesota After a mostly open winter, some areas other two species. of Minnesota are reporting winter damaged There does not appear to be a best species alfalfa stands, leaving farmers wondering - the top yielding varieties of each species about their forage options. perform better than the poorer yielding vaInterseeding back with alfalfa is risky due rieties of all other small grain species. Small to a variety of factors, but mostly the risk grain-pea mixtures have a wider harvest of auto-toxicity. The level of auto-toxicity window. The recommended seeding rate for is greater in older stands (3+ years) than in optimum yield and quality are for 10-15 oat younger stands. While interseeding has been seeds /ft2 (60 lb/a) and 4 pea seeds/ft2 (50 successful on rare occasions, it is generally lb/a) of Trapper peas. Size of pea seed varies a not a practice we recommend. greatly among varieties and poundage rate According to Dan Undersander, Unishould be increased as pea size increases to versity of Wisconsin Forage Agronomist, keep the same seeding rate (4 seeds/sq ft). a small grain-field pea mixture may be the Whether the small grain is planted alone best choice for those needing forage in or mixed with peas, the forage should be early/mid summer. The primary benefit of harvested based on the maturity stage of peas mixed with small grains is to improve the small grain. These mixtures should be quality; yield effects are variable ranging harvested at the late boot (few heads showfrom 0 to 0.5 t/a. increase. Peas may be ing) for lactating dairy cows and soft dough mixed with oats, triticale, or barley. Barley stage for heifers and beef cattle. tends to be ready to harvest earlier than the Crude Crop Maturity Date Yield (t/a) Protein (%) RFV Forage needed in early July Oats & peas late June 2.5-3.0 16-20 120-135 Spring triticale & peas mid-July 2.5-3.0 16-20 120-135 Barley & peas mid-June 2.5-3.0 16-20 120-135 Oats late June 2.5-3.0 13-16 100-120 Spring triticale mid-July 2.5-3.0 13-16 100-120 Barley mid-June 2.5-3.0 13-16 100-120 Total-season forage Alfalfa w/ cover crop late June 4.0-6.0 16-22 120-150 Corn silage mid-Sept. 5.0-8.0 9.0-10.0 95-105 Italian Ryegrass may be another option to thicken an existing stand. However, this may work best if you have access to a no-till drill. The downside of IRG is that it’s difficult to harvest as dry hay; it is best harvested by a grazing animal, baleage or haylage. If planted into moisture, it should be ready to harvest about 50 to 60 days after seeding. With adequate moisture, you should be able to harvest two to three crops before winter. IRG will stay green long into the fall and can be grazed as stockpiled forage. Corn silage is another good choice because of high yield, good quality, and familiarity. Two other choices are sorghumsudangrass hybrids (for hay or silage) and sudangrass (for hay or grazing). These crops do well in drought. They need high temperatures to produced good yield and will yield little in cool years. The sorghumsudangrasses and sudangrasses should be seeded at 20 to 30 lbs/acre. They can be cut whenever they reach about 30 inches height for high quality or 36 inches height
for heifers and beef cattle. Plants should be cut at 6 inch height if expecting regrowth. Foxtail or pearl millets are another choice provided that seed is available. Forage sorghums are normally drilled at 12 to15 lbs/a into 20 to 30 inches rows and harvested as corn silage would be. When planted late, forage sorghums will likely need to be killed by frost to dry sufficiently for ensiling. Do not harvest within 1 week of a killing frost to reduce potential for prussic acid poisoning. Forage sorghums may not be the best choice if the year is average to cool in temperature. Turnips can be planted anytime during the season and harvested about 45 days later by grazing. This forage is generally not harvested for hay or silage due to the low yield. After 1 or 2 grazings, the turnips can be dug (with a disc) and they can be grazed. Turnips are high in copper and may be detrimental to sheep.

By Jan Suszkiw, Agricultural Research Service Common baking ingredients may offer a way to bolster the effectiveness of Cydia pomonella granulovirus (CpGV), a natural insect pathogen that’s been commercially formulated to kill codling moth larvae—the proverbial worms in the apple (and pear, walnut and other orchard crops). Studies by U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) entomologist Alan Knight and his Swedish colleague Peter Witzgall show that adding two feeding stimulants to the spray formulations—brewer’s yeast and brown sugar—can increase the pests’ ingestion of the lethal insect virus, sparing more fruit from harm. The scientists’ investigations are part of a broader research effort to incorporate novel ingredients, or “adjuvants,” that will improve CpGV’s performance as a biobased alternative to broad-spectrum insecticides, which can be costly to apply and harmful to beneficial insects, including parasites or predators that keep secondary pests in check. Currently, CpGV is used on more than 370,000 acres of apples worldwide. However, its effectiveness as a bioinsecticide can be diminished by exposure to ultraviolet light (UV) and the larvae’s tendency to burrow into fruit to feed shortly after hatching, according to Knight, who is with USDA’s Agricultural Research Service (ARS) in Wapato, Washington. In 2 years of field trials, the addition of sugar and brewer’s yeast to sprays of CpGV killed more larvae (83 percent) than virus-only formulations (55 percent) and water-only controls (17 percent). The treatments also reduced feeding injury to the apples in 1 of the 2 test years, reports Knight, with the ARS Fruit and Vegetable Insect Research Unit (also known as the “Yakima Agricultural Research Laboratory”) in Wapato. Besides sugar and brewer’s yeast, Knight and Witzgall are evaluating other natural adjuvants to make the virus more effective. These include feeding stimulants such as pear ester, unpasteurized corn steep liquor and certain wild yeast species. Even with improvements, CpGV isn’t likely to become a stand-alone codling moth control for all growers in the industry, but rather a part of an integrated approach to managing the pests using a variety of measures, such as sex pheromone-based mating disruption.
Modeling good behavior
Parents often get frustrated when children talk back, will not do chores, or whine and scream. Do not let your frustration get out of control. Do not get into a yelling match with your child. If you yell or hit your children, you are teaching them to yell and hit others to get their way. Show your children that you can calmly talk with them about what is bothering you, just as you want them to calmly “use their words” to tell you why they are upset, rather than acting out. Model the good manners and respectful listening that you want your child to develop.

Grafting research could rescue WA watermelon crop
By Scott Weybright, WSU CAHNRS The watermelon crop has declined dramatically in Wash1-406-278-3432, Lattin & Sons, Conrad, Montana ington because of disease. But Washington State University (WSU) researchers are developing a solution that involves grafting watermelon plants onto squash and other vine plant rootstocks. “We’ve lost about a third of our state’s watermelon produc• Wishek Disks • K-Line One Till tion over the last 10 years because of Verticillium wilt,” said • Sovema Hay Rakes • Wheatheart Pounders Carol Miles, a professor of vegetable horticulture at the WSU Northwestern Washington Research and Extension Center in • Meyer Manure Spreaders • J & M Grain Carts Mount Vernon. “Growers have switched to other crops that • Wheatland Steel Hopper Bins made by Meridian are less susceptible.” Today, there are about 550 acres of watermelon grown in Washington, with a value of approximately $5 million. Miles said growers can lose 25-75 percent of their yield to the disease – but this loss does not occur until the very end of the growing season. That’s when the damage from • Ford 5000 diesel tractor with loader and Verticillium appears. The fungus also affects tomatoes, potatoes, eggplant and 6-ft. rotary mower many other crops and plants. • Schulte 14-ft. rock rake Watermelon grafting used worldwide Last fall, Miles received a $138,000 grant from the state • Sovema 12 Wheel Hay Rake agriculture department to look into grafting, a solution that • MacDon 9000 Swather doesn’t require fumigants.

Her portion is $171,000 to look at grafting • 34-ft. Wishek 742 cushion gang disk tomato and eggplant. Grafting involves cutting a young seedling from its roots and attaching it to the roots of a related plant that is disease resistant. The grafted plant produces fruits that are equivalent or better in quality than those of nongrafted plants. “Grafting is very old technology, going back over 1,500 years in China,” Miles said. “Farmers in Japan have used grafted watermelon since the 1920s. In the Mediterranean region, farmers have been using grafted watermelon, tomato and eggplant for almost 20 years. “We just need to find out what works best for our region and we’ll solve the Verticillium wilt problem,” she said. Testing rootstocks in the field Her research involves testing which plants work best together under Washington growing conditions and which rootstocks are most resistant to Verticillium wilt. The first goal is to increase the survival rate for newly grafted watermelon plants. If only 25 percent survive, the effort is not worth it, Miles said. The second goal is to find successful plant combinations that are disease resistant and have equivalent fruit yield and Topcon CropSpec® Crop Canopy Sensors analyze quality, compared to nongraftgreen on-the-go so you earn more green come harvest time. ed plants grown in healthy CropSpec reduces fertilizer costs by applying N on-the-go and soil.

Wildfire prevention is trending across Montana
Keep Montana Green announces statewide fire prevention art contest winners. Each year, participants generate amazing ideas and impressive artwork that promotes Keep Montana Green Association’s mission of preventing human-caused wildland fires. The contest theme this year was, “Think Before You Burn,” making reference to the fact that many human-started wildfires are caused by escaped agricultural or debris burning. Ali Ulwelling, Fire Prevention Specialist for the Kalispell Department of Natural Resources and Conservation (DNRC), commended students for their outstanding artwork and creativity and thanked teachers for taking time to incorporate the Keep Montana Green Art Contest into their daily lessons. “Spring is the perfect time for people living in Montana to make improvements around their home and property in preparation for the coming fire season,” Ulwelling said. “This includes cleaning up leaves, branches, and other natural yard debris and using the spring open burning season to burn those materials. But, it is important to Think Before You Burn.” This year has been a record-breaking year for the annual art contest. “This is the most participation we have ever received,” said Tim Crosmer, East Side Training Officer for the DNRC. Keep Montana Green has sponsored 54 poster contests since 1961 with a goal of creating a lasting interest in the prevention of wildland fires in Montana’s youth as well as adults. “A big thank you to the DNRC for their support and assistance with this program, without their work, the program wouldn’t continue to grow each year,” said Crystal Beckman, Executive Director, Keep Montana Green.

Big, bigger, much bigger
At an estimated 90 feet long and weighing 11 tons, the long-neck, plant-eating Diplodocus was considered to be the largest animal ever to have lived. It enjoyed that distinction for nearly a century until someone discovered the 100- to 130-foot-long Supersaurus in 1972. Then the Seismosaurus, at 150 feet long and weighing 85 tons, was uncovered in 1979. As more research emerges, museums around the world continue to rewrite identification cards for these long-necked beasts. It is now thought that while the Seismosaurus probably made tremor-like sounds when stamping through the forest, and the Supersaurus was very, very big, they were not separate species. In fact, both were just large specimens of the Diplodocus.

By Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks Montana’s verified wolf population declined by 73, 12 percent, last year while livestock depredations by wolves continued to decline, dropping about 46 percent from 2013. The minimum number of wolves counted by FWP at the end of 2014 was 554 compared to a minimum of 627 wolves counted at the end of 2013 according to Montana Fish Wildlife & Park’s (FWP) annual wolf conservation and management report released Monday. Montana’s minimum wolf packs were counted at 134, compared to 152 last year, while breeding pairs increased to 33 from 28 counted last year. The minimum wolf count is the number of wolves actually verified by FWP wolf specialists. The actual number of wolves is estimated to be 27 percent to 37 percent higher than the minimum count. FWP’s complete report is available online at fwp.mt.gov. Overall, FWP Director Jeff Hagener said Montana’s wolf population continues to be very healthy and far above federal recovery goals. “Among the best news is that confirmed wolf depredations on livestock again took a significant drop in 2014,” said Hagener. Confirmed livestock depredations due to wolves included 35 cattle, 6 sheep and one horse in 2014, down 46 percent from 2013 loses of 50 cattle, 24 sheep, three horses and one goat. Cattle losses in 2014 were the lowest recorded in the past eight years. The decline in wolf depredations continues a general downward trend that began in 2009. “For FWP, and we hope for others, it reinforces the fact that we not only have more tools for managing wolf populations, but that we’re applying them effectively,” Hagener said. “One of our top priorities is to minimize livestock losses, and we think we’re continuing to make a positive impact there.” The continuing decrease in livestock depredations over the past four years may be a result of several factors including targeted wolf depredation responses in cooperation with USDA Wildlife Services—and the effects of wolf harvest by hunters and trappers. Two hundred and thirteen wolves were taken by hunters and trappers in the 2014 calendar portion of the 2014-15 hunting/trapping season compared to 231 taken in the 2013 calendar portion of the 2013-14 season. The total number of known wolf mortalities during 2014 was 308, down from 335 in 2013, with 301 of these mortalities being human-related, including 213 legal harvests, 57 control actions to further reduce livestock depredations (down from 75 in 2013), 11 vehicle strikes, 10 illegal killings, 6 killed under the newly-enacted Montana State Senate Bill 200, 2 capture related mortalities, 1 euthanized due to poor health and 1 legal tribal harvest. In addition, 1 wolf died of natural causes and 6 of unknown causes. “Montana’s wolf management program seeks to manage wolves just like we do other wildlife—in balance with their habitat, with other wildlife species and with the people who live here,” Hagener said. For the purpose of reporting minimum counts to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Montana is divided into three areas that reflect the former gray wolf federal recovery zones. The three zones cover the entire state and include more than one FWP region. Following is a summary of the 2014 minimum counts verified for those areas: • In the “Northwest Montana” area counts showed a minimum of 338 wolves in 91 verified packs and 17 breeding pairs, compared to 412, 104, and 16, respectively, in 2013. • In the Montana portion of the “Central Idaho” area counts verified a minimum of 94 wolves in 20 packs, with six breeding pairs, compared to the 2013 counts of 123, 26, and seven respectively. • The Montana portion of the “Greater Yellowstone” counts include a minimum of 122 wolves in 23 packs, and 11 breeding pairs, compared to 92, 22, and five, respectively in 2013. The recovery of the wolf in the northern Rockies remains one of the fastest endangered species comebacks on record. In the mid 1990s, to hasten the overall pace of wolf recovery in the Northern Rockies, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service released 66 wolves into Yellowstone National Park and central Idaho. FWP began monitoring the wolf population, and managing livestock conflicts in 2004. After several court challenges wolves were successfully delisted in 2011. The delisting of wolves in 2011 allows Montana to manage wolves in a manner similar to how bears, mountain lions and other wildlife species are managed, which is guided by state management plans, administrative rules, and laws.

Preventing internal parasites in small ruminants By Jim Stordahl, Clearwater/Polk County Extension Service, Minnesota
If not controlled, internal parasites can cause illness in animals. Symptoms of parasitism include weight loss, loss of appetite, depression, weakness, lagging behind or separating from the flock, and possibly anemia, bottle jaw, or diarrhea. Livestock producers want to raise healthy animals, and so they may treat the sick animals with dewormers. But that is a temporary fix at best, because unless there is a management change, animals will soon be reinfected. Also, most dewormers are no longer working because the internal parasites have developed resistance to the chemicals. A better approach than relying on dewormers is
to prevent illness in the first place. A strong immune system will help an animal resist or tolerate parasites; this strong immune system stems from the following: Genetics Some breeds and some individuals are better able to fight parasites. Age Young animals have no immunity; with time and exposure, sheep will build immunity around 4 to 9 months of age. Good nutrition A properly nourished animal will be better able to fight internal parasites. The minerals copper and zinc are important for the immune system, and extra protein also helps battle parasites. Low stress Clean, calm environments
reduce animals’ stress. In addition to having a strong immune system, livestock need to be protected from consuming too many internal parasites. This is accomplished through sanitation (clean water tanks and feed troughs) and through pasture management. Good pasture management can help animals stay healthy in two ways: by reducing exposure to internal parasite larvae and by supporting animal health. Numerous strategies can reduce exposure: Maintain proper forage height; don’t graze shorter than four inches. Maintain proper stocking rate. Rest contaminated areas for at least 60 days if possible; longer is better. Give access to browse and tall-growing forbs. Use resistant animals and alternate grazers (cattle and equines can alternate with sheep or goats). Provide clean pastures for young and other susceptible stock, such as lactating animals. Graze animals on regrowth from silage or hay crops. Use annual forage crops, such as cereal grains, ryegrass or turnips. Rotate animals away from larvae before they are infective, which means within four days during optimum parasite conditions, such as during a humid summer. Keep animals out of wet areas. Several strategies provide support: Provide excellent nutrition, especially energy, protein, and minerals, to susceptible classes and during stressful times. Allow limited exposure to parasite larvae to maintain immune response. Provide diverse forages, such as browse, tannincontaining forages such as birdsfoot trefoil and a wide variety of plants to encourage animals to eat more and give some medicinal benefits. In summary, three simple actions will help prevent illness: • Encouraging a strong immune system • Using good sanitation • Rotating pastures This information is provided by Margo Hale & Linda Coffey at NCAT-ATTRA. Check out www.attra.ncat. org for a full discussion of pasture management and the interaction between animals and internal parasites.

Soft white farmers face inconsistent conditions
Those who watch soft white (SW) wheat conditions in the Pacific Northwest (PNW) are seeing inconsistent temperatures and rainfall take production on a bit of a roller coaster ride that could end with a smaller supply of this important export crop. After drought conditions limited the 2014 crop, total white wheat supply dropped to 7.73 MMT, the lowest level in seven years. The most recent USDA National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) Prospective Plantings report estimated that white wheat seeded area is up 3 percent from last year to 4.33 million acres (1.73 million hectares) and is greater than the 5-year average of 4.18 million acres. Assuming average yields can rebound from just 3.84 metric tons (MT) per hectare in 2014/15 — the lowest since 2002/03 — production could eclipse the 7.73 MMT of white wheat produced last year. Washington Grain Commission (WGC) Director of Communications and Public Relations Scott Yates put this into perspective. “I was talking to an elevator manager a summer ago and he said bad crops usually come in pairs because the conditions that set up the poor first crop linger and influence the next one,” said Yates. “Keeping in mind how early it is in the year, our estimate for the current SW crop in Washington is a little better than last year, but still off our five-year average by about 10 percent.” The April 20 NASS Crop Progress and Condition report covering Washington, Oregon and Idaho noted that inconsistent temperatures and strong winds depleted soil moisture and affected spring planting. NASS rated topsoil moisture in Washington at 20 percent short and 80 percent adequate, while Idaho is rated 24 percent short and 71 percent adequate. Ratings in Oregon were the lowest in the PNW at 44 percent short and 52 percent adequate. According to Yates, crop conditions in Washington this year have been anything but consistent. “We had sporadic but fairly severe winter kill in November and I have heard estimates that 25 percent of fall seeded wheat was replanted,” said Yates. “We will take all the precipitation we can get, but timing of the rain is also important. Poor planting conditions last fall and a dry winter have led to thinner stands and moisture now cannot make new plants grow.” “A warm, dry spell in February had us wondering if we were going to be putting in spring crops so when it finally started to rain, we got busy putting in spring wheat. I have had 5.5 inches of rain over the last month,” added Randy Suess, who grows SW in Eastern Washington. “While we still have above average temperatures, if we get timely rains in June we should have a good crop.” Across the border in Oregon, farmers are worried about what impact a low snow pack will have on availability of water for irrigation. “Farmers say the crop looks good across most of the state with the exception of planting delays in a few of the spring production areas,” said Oregon Wheat Commission Associate Administrator Tana Simpson. “The snow pack and reservoir levels are low so irrigated and spring wheat is of particular concern. We are going to need additional moisture and mild temperatures to avoid significantly reduced yields.” Dale Case, a SW grower in northeast Oregon agrees. “Despite a near normal rainfall, we have had no snow pack this past winter in the area. The spring has been very dry and some fields are starting to show stress,” said Case. “The growers with irrigation from wells should be OK but if they get irrigation water from the river, they may run short for spring wheat or later crops.” Reports from Idaho round out the impact that an early spring has had on the PNW. “The water outlook for the Snake River Plain is at about 80 percent of what it is normally, but our early spring meant we had to start irrigating early, so it is anyone’s guess if the water will hold until crops have finished out,” said Idaho Wheat Commission Member Gordon Gallup. Timely and adequate moisture through the rest of the season will be essential to make a consistently good crop, which becomes even more important when SW market watchers note that the ratio of U.S. white wheat stocks to use is likely to be down for the third straight year at the end of 2014/15. USW will continue to update customers on conditions. Additional updates are available from the USDA Weekly Weather and Crop Bulletin at http://bit.ly/YqaABl

Sheridan College team advances to national Innovation Challenge finals By University of Wyoming Extension
Revving up the genetic horsepower of algae to gush lipids for use as biofuel has propelled four Sheridan College students onto the national stage in Washington, D.C. Hannah Shafer, Rapid City, South Dakota, Ceirra Carlson, Greybull, and sisters Hannah and Paige Jernigan of Cheyenne are one of 10 teams from community colleges across the nation advancing to the Innovation Boot Camp in June, the final competition of the National Science Foundation’s Innovation Challenge. The students use the laboratories in the University of Wyoming (UW) Sheridan Research and Extension (R&E) Center (http://www.uwyo.edu/uwexpstn/centers/ sheridan/index.html) and draw upon the research expertise of Sadanand Dhekney, who holds the E.A. Whitney Professorship in Agriculture at the college. The students proposed to genetically engineer algae for enhanced lipid production. They’re figuring out how to replace the original genes – yank out wimpy stock genes, insert turbo-charged replacements – and turn the algae into lipid megaproducers. Lipids are molecules that contain hydrocarbons and make up the building blocks of the structure and function of living cells. Examples include fats, oils and waxes. “We’re excited we made it all this way with this little idea that has come so far from the beginning,” said Hannah Jernigan. “We’ve thoroughly enjoyed learning what we have. It’s totally new, and we’ve grown leaps and bounds from where we were a couple months ago.” Sheridan College instructor Rob Milne had mentioned the National Science Foundation’s Innovation Challenge to his general chemistry class last November. The challenge thrusts research into the traditional teaching roles of community colleges. Shafer wanted to initiate a project, and, once it seemed she and the other students wanted to pursue algae lipid production, Milne saw a good connection with Dhekney at the R&E center. Undergraduate research is encouraged at the college, but the reality is facilities, time and equipment are limited. “The initial motivation has to come from the students,” said Milne. “The nice part is, these students are exceptionally motivated.”
And so the students took the five-minute walk from their science center to the R&E center to visit Dhekney. The assistant professor in the Department of Plant Sciences at UW has been nationally recognized for his grapevine research but knew nothing about algae. The state of Wyoming matched funding from Whitney Benefits to create the E.A. Whitney Professorship in Agriculture position, designed to implement at Sheridan College an enhanced degree completion program within UW’s agroecology curriculum and to teach selected courses each semester. “The students had this idea in mind, increasing lipid production in algae, but had no clue how they were going to do it,” Dhekney recalls. Dhekney threw out ideas, and showed them research by Steve Herbert, the former head of the plant sciences department in the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources. “This is like a Ph.D. project,” said Dhekney. “These kids are pretty ambitious. They did not have anyone to show them the way or have a place to do it. We don’t work with algae, but we have everything in our lab to work with in the research center.” Dhekney has mentored students for more than 11 years. “When a student comes to me, I never turn them down,” he said. “If it’s something not in my area of expertise, I’ll give some type of guidance or mentoring that can take them to the next level. With the Sheridan College students, I knew I could give them a place to work, the necessary supplies and the chemicals to work.” That collaboration, said Jernigan, has proven invaluable. “I’d say that was the most important part,” she noted. “We were coming here with very little knowledge. He didn’t have to accept our project or help us, but he was super excited about it, he brought us in and even took his personal time to research and find out more about it and try and help us.” Each student member of the first-place team at the boot camp receives $3,000, second-place student team members receive $2,000 each and third-place student team members receive $1,000 each.

The art of handling cattle becomes a life lesson
By J.W. Schroeder, Dairy Specialist, NDSU Extension Service As a kid, I had a tendency to move faster (a lot faster) than I do now. Whether in the field or cleaning the barn, the faster my brothers and I worked, the faster we could move onto something more interesting, such as hunting gophers or adventures yet to be discovered. The concept here was the faster we worked, the more we would get done, at least until it came to handling cows. Growing up on a dairy, beef and small-grains farm, we never had a lack of things to do and usually did not have enough time to do everything we wanted to do. We worked long and hard hours to sow crops or bale hay, but when we rushed the cows, the experience was usually counterproductive. The cows had their pace, and it wasn’t in line with ours. And, unfortunately, when we tried to change that pace, the result was more destructive than productive. As people learn to apply stockmanship handling skills on cattle operations through experience (provided we are paying attention) or through the teachings of our elders, I realize many of today’s livestock employees do not have a farm experience, let alone an animal experience. Whether that be dairy, sheep, hogs or horses, each species has its own tendencies, but not necessarily actions in common, and these tendencies do not come naturally to new livestock handlers. Even when you and the animals do get accustomed to each other, a frequent question arises about what to do with new cattle. As simple as it may sound, the answer is that the behavior of the animals will tell handlers what should be done with them. For example, if cattle run back and forth or circle nonstop, the handlers need to slow their motion. If the cows bunch in a corner and have no movement, a handler, or at most a few handlers, should create slow movement that involves teaching new cattle to accept human pressure. This also helps animals learn the boundaries of their new confinement while teaching them where they can find food and water. Each time cattle are worked properly, they learn and become easier to work the next time. If you don’t believe that, compare a newborn dairy calf that typically has an assisted birth and is fed colostrum two to three times within 24 hours with a beef calf that typically is delivered on pasture unassisted and not handled by humans if not necessary. Which one wants to suck your hand and which is content to leave you behind? The message here is that animals learn calm handling if handled calmly. Authors Paul Rapnicki, Margaret Perala and Don Hoglund, in their article “Dairy Stockmanship - Reconnecting the People with the Cows,” explain that when livestock operations only consider working cattle if specific tasks are to be accomplished (such as vaccinating), a negative impression of handling can be imprinted in the cows’ memory. Naturally, negative interactions can make animals become harder to handle through time. Frequently, we find that older cows in a herd can be difficult to move. We must understand that their current behavior is the sum total of the interactions, positive and negative, with humans throughout their lifetime. Dairy stockmanship is about reconnecting people with dairy cows for positive outcomes, and it is fundamentally about learning how cows respond to the behaviors of people in a dynamic environment. Animal husbandry has many components that are science and art, including animal behavior. As stock people, we have the responsibility to understand our animal subjects while we help our employees understand (get comfortable with) them. Both are learned behaviors not found in books. I learned mine through boots-on-the-ground experience, but then I was one of the lucky ones. I grew up on a farm - a dairy farm where those cows were doing more than feeding a hungry world; they were teaching me about life, stewardship and a desire to become an animal scientist. I hope their lessons have made me a better teacher (and student) of dairying.

Fighting Newcastle and other poultry diseases
Newcastle disease (ND) is one of the most prevalent viral diseases of poultry in the world with at least 68 countries reporting outbreaks in domestic poultry from 2013 to 2014. Virulent strains of Newcastle disease virus, which cause the disease when they infect birds, are not found in domestic or commercial poultry in the United States, but are endemic in many countries of Asia, Africa, and The Americas. The disease is highly contagious and is so deadly that up to 90 percent of non-vaccinated birds may die, and some without showing any signs of disease. At the Agricultural Research Service’s Southeast Poultry Research Laboratory (SEPRL) in Athens, Georgia, scientists use different methods to help prevent outbreaks of ND and other poultry diseases that pose a risk to U.S. poultry producers. These include creating vaccines that induce more effective immune responses with fewer side effects and developing more stringent methods to evaluate ND vaccines. Vaccines that Target Two Viruses SEPRL microbiologist Qingzhong Yu and his colleagues recently created a new vaccine that protects chickens against infectious laryngotracheitis virus (ILTV) and virulent Newcastle disease virus. Like ND, infectious laryngotracheitis (ILT) is one of the most economically important infectious diseases of poultry-causing sickness and death in domestic and commercial poultry and wild birds. The new vaccine helps reduce virulent virus shed—excretion of virus by the host—and the transmission of disease from infected birds to healthy ones, says Yu, who works in SEPRL’s Endemic Poultry and Viral Diseases Research Unit. “Although the ILTV live-attenuated vaccines used today are effective, some of the viruses used to make them can regain virulence—causing the side effect of the chickens becoming chronically ill,” Yu says, “Other vaccines can protect birds from clinical signs, but do not reduce the virus shedding very well.” Because they do not reduce the risk of virulent ILTV transmission to uninfected birds, these other vaccines are not very effective, he adds. Microbiologist Qingzhong Yu examines recombinant Newcastle disease virus vaccine candidates in infected cells. In a laboratory at Athens, Georgia, microbiologist Qingzhong Yu examines recombinant Newcastle disease virus vaccine candidates in infected cells. In his study, Yu generated new vaccines by inserting a gene from the ILTV into the Newcastle disease virus (NDV) vaccine strain LaSota, which has been used for more than 50 years worldwide as a vaccine to prevent poultry from getting Newcastle disease. The new vaccine was tested in more than 200 chicks. All vaccinated birds were protected against both ILTV and virulent strains of NDV. “These vaccines were shown to be stable, safe and effective,” Yu says. “The birds, which were vaccinated at ages 1 and 3 days and challenged with virulent ILTV at the age of 21 days, showed no clinical disease signs and no decrease in body weight gains.” ARS has filed for a patent on the vaccine invention, which can be administered by aerosol or drinking water to large populations of chickens at a low cost, according to Yu. Improving Vaccine Evaluation Protocol The survival rate for healthy chickens vaccinated with available commercial Newcastle disease (ND) vaccines is 90 to 100 percent. Current vaccines also perform well under field conditions in countries where virulent strains of NDV are not endemic. However, these same vaccines frequently fail to protect birds in countries with highly virulent viruses. “This discrepancy is a contentious topic for those interested in Newcastle disease,” says microbiologist Claudio Afonso at the Agricultural Research Service’s Southeast Poultry Research Laboratory (SEPRL) in Athens, Georgia. “Some veterinarians are requesting genotype-matched vaccines, while others believe the application of the vaccines is faulty.” New vaccines developed by ARS microbiologist Qingzhong Yu protect chicks against infectious laryngotracheitis virus and Newcastle disease virus. New vaccines developed by ARS microbiologist Qingzhong Yu protect chicks against infectious laryngotracheitis virus and Newcastle disease virus. A new improved NDV vaccine evaluation procedure, developed by Afonso and veterinary medical officer Patti Miller in SEPRL’s Exotic and Emerging Avian Viral Diseases Research Unit, could help settle the inconsistency of vaccine performance.

New berries from ARS
By Sharon Durham, Agricultural Research Service Two new berries have been developed thanks to U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) scientists at the Horticultural Crops Research Unit in Corvallis, Oregon, and their collaborators. Berries of all types are wonderful additions to a healthy diet, providing nutrients, fiber and flavor. Sweet Sunrise (U.S. PP 25,223) is a new strawberry cultivar from the Corvallis breeding program, which is led by Agricultural Research Service (ARS) plant geneticist Chad Finn. This strawberry was released in cooperation with the Oregon Agricultural Experiment Station (OAES) and Washington State University’s Agricultural Research Center. ARS is the USDA’s chief intramural scientific research agency. Sweet Sunrise is a high-yielding cultivar that ripens in June. It produces large, firm attractive fruit having excellent quality. According to Finn, Sweet Sunrise was high-yielding in every trial and location. Yields are comparable to, or higher than, those of other recent releases such as Charm, Valley Red, and Sweet Bliss or the industry standards Tillamook, Totem, and Hood. In all evaluations, Sweet Sunrise was rated excellent and comparable to Totem for commercial processors. Finn also developed Columbia Star (U.S. patent applied for), a thornless, trailing blackberry cultivar from the same breeding program as Sweet Sunrise. Columbia Star was released in 2013 in cooperation with OAES. The new blackberry is a high-quality, high-yielding, machine-harvestable blackberry with firm, sweet fruit that when processed is similar in quality to, or better than, fruit from the industry standards Marion and Black Diamond. Both of these new berry cultivars will be good additions to the fresh- and processed-fruit markets, according to Finn.

strain of NDV should be able to protect against virulent virus challenges, because all NDV strains are closely related,” Miller says. “This is true when conditions are optimal, meaning vaccinated birds are healthy, they receive the correct viable vaccine dose, and they have two to three weeks to develop an immune response before being exposed to virulent strains of Newcastle disease virus.” “Under perfect conditions, many vaccines do work, but conditions are not always perfect in the field,” Miller says. “Chickens should get a certain vaccine dose but sometimes get less. Sometimes they don’t have three weeks to develop an immune response before being exposed to the virus. When we make conditions less than perfect in our experiments, we can actually pick a better vaccine virus for a particular virus challenge.” The traditional evaluation procedure is not designed to compare vaccines and only measures survival rates under optimal conditions, she adds. “We improved the testing procedure by comparing a vaccine made with the same virus strain-genotype used in the experimental challenge to a vaccine made with a different genotype,” Afonso says. “The new procedure involves using multiple vaccine doses and an early challenge with a highly virulent virus dose. It also allows us to see differences in clinical disease and in survival after virus challenge.” In the study, scientists mimicked conditions that sometimes occur when birds are vaccinated in the field. Using the improved procedure, chickens were inoculated with different vaccines and then challenged with a high dose of virulent NDV one or two weeks later. Chickens that received the genotyped-matched vaccine had superior immunity responses, reduced clinical signs, and increased survival compared to birds vaccinated with a different-genotype vaccine. Under the traditional procedure, no significant differences in survival rates were found between the vaccines. “With this rigorous comparison, which provides a thorough evaluation, we showed for the first time that a significant reduction in death can be detected with genotypematched vaccines,” Afonso says. The upgraded procedure is not being suggested for vaccine approval, Miller explains. However, it could be used by scientists to develop an improved vaccine and help veterinarians choose a more appropriate vaccine to treat birds for NDV in countries where virulent viruses are endemic.
Baby boomers dance and cook their way to health
By Kym Pokorny, Oregon State University A group of Deschutes County baby boomers got their groove on as music from a Wiggles children’s tape streamed from speakers. Behind them a kitchen was ready for the brain-beneficial menu next on the agenda. The fun had just begun It was the first day of a four-part Nourishing Boomers and Beyond program (http://extension.oregonstate.edu/ deschutes/nourishing-boomers-and-beyond-series), a pilot project by Oregon State University’s (OSU) Extension Service in Deschutes County in partnership with North Dakota State University (NDSU), where the curriculum was developed. The plan is to repeat the course in June and have the program picked up by other counties, said Glenda Hyde, an Extension family and community health educator who started the project. Created to help boomers prevent chronic diseases by taking charge of their health, the course touches on strategies for nourishing the brain, skin, digestive system and heart. Patty Stark, who has taken several classes through Extension, including canning and food preservation, heard about the class and thought, “Gosh, that sounds great. I figured I could really benefit from it.” After the first class, she was convinced. The dancing, she said, was a kick, and she’d had no idea how important it is for brain health. “I went home and told my husband that the research shows dancing is one of the best things you can do for memory and preventing Alzheimer’s,” she said. “Maybe we’ll dance more now.” The cooking segment was even more meaningful for Stark, who is gluten intolerant and has a family history of heart attacks, stroke and Alzheimer’s. Learning to make a gluten-free blueberry buckle made an impression on her, as did a salmon salad with lemon-tarragon dressing. “Oh yeah, that was a really nice salad,” she said. “I try to eat healthy, but we go out quite a bit. That was definitely something I’ll try at home.” In the second class on caring for your skin, Hyde introduced facial masks made with ingredients like avocado, whipping cream, carrot, yogurt and flaxseed. She asked everyone to make and try one. “It was a hoot,” Hyde said. “They made two and put one on each side of their faces. They put the yogurt one on one side first and it was really good. But then they put the second one on the other cheek and, holy smokes, they said they could tell a big difference between the two.” When the class made oven-roasted sweet potatoes with walnuts, brown sugar and spices, they found out sweet potatoes are even more full of cancer-fighting antioxidants than blueberries. The gluten-free, whole-grain cornbread made with brown and white rice flour, potato and tapioca starch was a revelation, too. “Nobody could believe how good it was,” Hyde said, adding that ingredients provided by sponsor Bob’s Red Mill went home with participants to encourage them to make the cornbread and other recipes on their own. Hyde taught more hands-on cooking in the classes on the digestive system and heart, including a popular breakfast dish of whole-grain polenta, wilted spinach, grated Parmesan cheese, mango and just a bit of sausage. “That went over really well,” she said. “The whole Boomers and Beyond course went over well. Everyone soaked up the information we gave them and everyone had fun, too.”
Plateosaurus puzzler
It is remarkable that scientists can make any sense out of the jumble of bones that they discover. It’s something like putting together a puzzle–one that is sure to have missing pieces, broken parts, and no picture to show how it should look in the end. It is not surprising that the pieces would get mixed up at times, as in the case of the Plateosaurus. In the late 1800s, German fossil hunters found the skeleton of a dinosaur that had the razor teeth of a meat eater. This was named Teratosaurus (“monster reptile”) and was thought of as a slow-moving, long-necked carnivore. It took almost 100 years for paleontologists to sort out the fact that the Teratosaurus was actually the remains of a plant-eating Plateosaurus, whose skull was mixed up with that of a crocodile-like creature that ate it. This beast, one of the top predators of the time, was not a dinosaur at all. Even so, it got to keep the name Teratosaurus.

Last year, it was apparent that the strongest sustained run-up in North Dakota cropland values during the past 100 years was coming to an end, according to Andrew Swenson, North Dakota State University (NDSU) Extension Service farm management specialist. This was confirmed by a recent survey that indicates average cropland values dropped slightly (0.6 percent) during 2014. Swenson’s estimate is derived from the published results of a January 2015 county survey commissioned by the North Dakota Department of Trust Lands. During an 11-year period (2003 through 2013), cropland values averaged annual increases of 15 percent. The strongest increase, 42 percent, occurred during 2012. The main causes were crop profitability, driven by very strong grain prices and good yields, and low interest rates. Cropland values (January 2014 to January 2015) still were strong in western North Dakota but were weaker in the east. The largest increases in cropland values per acre were 13 percent (to $1,440) in the southwestern region, 11 percent (to $1,051) in the northwestern region and 9 percent (to $1,051) in the south-central region. Cropland values per acre were essentially flat in the north-central region ($1,764) and the southern Red River Valley ($4,340). Cropland values declined by 5 percent (to $3,031) in the southeastern region and declined 7 to 9 percent in the northeastern region (to $1,904), east-central region (to $2,286) and northern Red River Valley (to $2,983). The profitability of crop production had become precarious because of a doubling in per-acre production costs during the past decade. Lower grain prices in 2013 and 2014 pushed producers toward or below the cost of production. The impact has been particularly evident on corn and sugar beet crops, which averaged negative returns on cash rented ground in 2013 and 2014, according to farms enrolled in the North Dakota Farm Business Management Education program. Returns to wheat declined dramatically but generally have stayed positive because of record yields the past two years. The average soybean profit dropped from more than $200 per acre in 2012 to almost $20 per acre in 2014 on cash-rented ground.
Last year, several factors helped keep land values strong in western North Dakota. There were good yields and prices for crops such as durum wheat and field peas. Also, crop producers in the western part of the state are more likely to be diversified with a beef cow-calf enterprise, which experienced record profits. Lastly, income associated with the region’s energy development have provided funds for investment. “Although the cropland value, on average, was flat, the survey indicated that cropland rents increased an average of 2.6 percent from January 2014 to January 2015,” Swenson says. “Land rents have typically lagged behind land values.” The largest increases were 7 percent (to $64.30) in the south-central region and 6 percent (to $71.20) in the east-central region. Cropland rents increased about 2 percent in most regions, which include the northwestern region (to $35.40), northcentral region (to $51.10), northeastern region (to $57.60), northern Red River Valley (to $91), and southeastern region (to $98.30). Cropland rents increased 1 percent (to $125.50) in the southern Red River Valley and were flat at $38.60 per acre in the southwestern region. Will there will be a sharp drop in land values similar to what happened after 1981? That was the last time there was a sustained multiyear run-up on cropland values. “That is the major question going forward,” Swenson says. “So far, it has been a soft landing, which we may be able to sustain unless crop prices continue to decline and/or interest rates rise. Another risk is if we have mediocre to slightly poor yields.” The impact of large-yield shortfalls would be mitigated by crop insurance. Also, the implementation of the 2014 farm bill should provide some assistance if crop revenue declines substantially. Projected crop budgets for 2015 are challenging and, although there always is interest in land, producers and their lenders have become cautious. Therefore, Swenson believes cropland rents will decline next year and cropland values could decline in the range of 3 to 8 percent. Swenson cautions that the values and rents are averages for large multicounty regions. Prices can vary considerably within a region because of soil type, drainage and location.
Meehan joins NDSU Animal Sciences Department
By NDSU Extension Service Miranda Meehan has joined North Dakota State University’s (NDSU) Animal Sciences Department as the NDSU Extension Service’s first livestock environmental stewardship specialist. She will develop Extension programs and conduct applied research related to environmental stewardship for the state’s livestock producers. “The position was created to allow the department to take proactive steps that focus on best practices related to livestock management, livestock-environmental interactions, sustainability, and producing animal products for a world with a rapidly growing population and finite resources,” says Greg Lardy, Animal Sciences Department head. “The NDSU Animal Sciences Department prides itself on providing timely, accurate recommendations to North Dakota’s livestock producers,” he adds. “This position will enhance our efforts in livestock stewardship and provide additional expertise to serve the state’s livestock industry.” Meehan, who grew up on a small livestock operation near Tuttle, earned her Master of Science degree in animal and range science at NDSU in 2008 and her Ph.D. in natural resource management at NDSU in 2011. Her doctoral research resulted in the development of an ecological site description detailing the processes occurring in the riparian ecosystems in the Sheyenne River in eastern North Dakota. Riparian ecosystems are transitional areas between uplands, which don’t have water, and streams, rivers or lakes. These systems consist of a stream channel and the stream’s flood plain, where the water table, flooding and the soil’s water-holding capacity influence the vegetation. Before joining NDSU, Meehan worked as a natural resource specialist for Carlson McCain Inc., an environmental consulting firm in Bismarck. “We are excited to have Miranda join our faculty,” Lardy says. “Her background and expertise related to environmental issues; livestock production; and water, soil and rangeland resources make her uniquely qualified for the position.”

Spring is here: Be calm, plan and calibrate By Meryl Rygg McKenna
Spring arrived in much of Montana about three to four weeks earlier than last year. Farmers in some areas are planting spring crops, while in other areas early April snow and freezing temperatures put the brakes on seeding. Corny Dane, Certified Crop Adviser at Mountain View Co-op in North Central Montana, said the spring cycles stress plants, with temperatures below freezing at night and into the 50s or 60s during the day. Every National Weather Service reporting station in Montana showed average temperatures above normal in March, with no monthly averages below normal. Eleven stations statewide reported 10 to 11 degrees F above normal, according to NWS data. Similar conditions are evident in North Dakota, according to its March 30 Crop Progress and Condition report. Low moisture further stresses plants. Dane reported instances of winter wheat losing progress it had gained with the warm temperatures, because of the lack of moisture. The U.S. Drought Monitor’s Palmer Drought Index offer overviews and discussion on moisture conditions nationwide; it shows that much of the nation is experiencing increasingly dry conditions. Most years, producers call for fertilizer on hay ground and winter wheat first, before the spring crop craze. This year, however, conditions are such that topdressing winter wheat is happening at the same time as fertilizing spring crops in some areas. This increases the challenge for drivers; everyone wants the job done at once. There seems to be a perennial deficit of workers and equipment for spring fertilizer needs, and that problem increases in a year like this. In the midst of growers’ spring fever, here are some reminders from Agronomy Division Manager Gareth Redgrave, also at Mountain View Co-op, and a member of the Rocky Mountain CCA Board. Take time to scout While focusing on getting in the spring crop, remember to scout winter wheat fields. There have been reports of powdery mildew and over-wintering rust disease in several Montana counties (see Montana State University’s Ag Alerts for more information), and winter annuals such as cheatgrass are growing like crazy, according to Redgrave. Controlling cheatgrass in the spring is always unpredictable and most herbicide labels are restricted to specific crop growth stages. Paying heed to weeds present, growth stage of weeds and crop and effectiveness of different herbicides pays off in the long run. Scout fields prior to pre-plant spraying to look for emerged broadleaf weeds that may require an additional additive or herbicide to be tank-mixed with the glyphosate. There have been several reports of button-sized kochia already emerged and at this growth stage they are hard to control with glyphosate alone. There are several tank-mix options that can aid in the control of button-sized kochia. Calibrate, calibrate, calibrate Make sure you are calibrating the drill when you are using granular inoculants for legumes. There are frequently shortages of inoculants, and this year is no exception to the rule. If you don’t calibrate correctly you will be either under- or overapplying. If you under-apply there will be poor nodulation and if you over-apply, not only will you increase costs, but there may not be any inoculant available to complete the planting. Fertilizer Nitrogen source With this weather, volatility of urea becomes a bigger concern. Growers may want to consider using fertilizer treatments that contain the urease inhibitor N-(n-butyl) thiophosphoric triamide (NBPT) to control volatilization for up to 14 days. There are other products that are marketed to control volatilization, but to this date only NBPT has been proven effective by MSU research and is also included as an option in the CSP program. NBPT products can also be added to UAN (urea ammonium nitrate or 32 solution) at half the rate needed for urea and will provide the same level of protection against volatility. Growers will need to work out the economics of this option compared to treating and topdressing urea. If growers want to use UAN instead of urea, they need to plan ahead because there is limited infrastructure, storage and delivery equipment for UAN in Montana. Be calm and be safe It is more important to do things right the first time than to do them fast. “Calm down, plan ahead, communicate with your supplier and we will get through this spring just like we have done numerous times,” Redgrave said. “When planning, follow the 4 R’s: Right source, Right rate, Right time and Right place.” CONTINUED ON PAGE C52

ATTENTION DURAMAX OWNERS Stop losing the fuel mileage you paid for… Duramileage Diesel Module is the Answer! Are you frustrated with your Duramax diesel’s mileage? Every day diesel truck owners call and tell us how their new diesel pickup has plenty of power… they just need better fuel mileage. Even though fuel prices have dropped lately… poor fuel mileage is causing you to lose hard earned cash. The frustration with poor fuel mileage is because vehicle manufacturers are being forced to “detune” the lower end RPM range of diesel engines in order to meet the latest emission standards. And it’s only going to get worse. The solution to gaining an additional 3-5 MPG is to simply restore the low-end torque curve of the engine. The Duramileage Diesel Module is an easy to install plug-n-play unit that was engineered specifically to control the torque rise of the motor. Increasing the torque curve gets the engine up to its peak efficiency faster which improves its fuel economy… running empty and under a load. Call us today to find out how easy it is to increase your Duramax diesel’s mileage and put $1000’s back into your pocket in fuel costs. You deserve to get the fuel mileage you paid for.

Eating habits of healthy families
It’s important to pay attention to what you eat. Fresh fruits and vegetables are good for everyone, and most fats should be eaten in small quantities. Avoid trans fats, which are cheap-to-produce fats that help foods that look fresher longer but are bad for your waistline and cholesterol levels. Also, try to stay clear of saturated fats–fats that come from animals (lard and dairy fat, for instance) or oils like cottonseed, palm kernel oil and coconut oil. If you cook your own meals, you control what is in them. When you are buying prepared foods or ingredients to cook your own meals check the calories, fats, and other information on the package before you buy. Eating out, bringing fast food home, or ordering take-out is something a lot of working families end up doing more often than they plan to. When choosing where to go, remember that restaurant meals are not necessarily better for you than fast foods. The vegetables and sauces may be made with butter, cream, or other high-fat ingredients.

Always read and follow label directions, even if you read them last year. Recommendations and directions can change. Wear protective gloves, suits, masks and other gear as recommended on the label. Some factors are within human control, while many others are not. The best a grower can do is to scout, pay attention, control what can be controlled, and be ready to roll with the punches. The rest is up to Mother Nature. There is a saying that goes something like “The hands that feed the world are often missing fingers.” Make safety, not speed, the top priority.

If your world collapses absent skiing, or snowmobiling, I’ll attend your pity party. That’s because spring is here, and the signs surround us. Yes, cold weather and even an occasional blizzard may still hit us into May. But look around; robins and meadowlarks sing their songs, bluebirds fly about looking for insects like the mayflies coming off the river, crocus and daffodils bloom away. Out of sight yet equally important Canada geese are sitting on nests right now. In north-central Montana, goose hatching peaks from the end of April to the first week of May. And soon parades of goslings will appear in public, stopping traffic to the consternation of those drivers in a hurry. Ducks hatch their young in late May to early June. Canada geese usually nest near water on an elevated spot with little vegetation. That allows them to see danger, like a red fox, approaching and defend their nest. And whoa to that fox trying to snatch an egg or gosling from the nest. Geese can be terrific nest defenders. Early spring can be tough for migrating songbirds, like bluebirds, especially on those cold and snowy days. Bluebirds eat insects and snow and cold don’t produce a lot of bugs, although even during spring snow birds will find a warmer micro climate near the river that continues to produce insects. Most songbirds don’t arrive this far north until well into May. Bluebirds, which winter from Utah and Arizona south through Mexico, are an exception, arriving in northcentral Montana in early to mid-March. That’s taking a chance because a prolonged cold snap could kill those lovely feathered patches of blue. CONTINUED ON PAGE C55

Of course if the weather cooperates, the advantage of being an early bird is the pick of the choice nest sites and young that stand a better chance of surviving the rigors of the nest and making the trip south in good shape. In the mammalian world, mature bull elk have dropped their antlers already this year on windswept ridges and in forests and are starting to regrow a new rack. For a mature bull, that mammoth headgear, weighing as much as 40 pounds, takes a long time to grow, about five months. Antler growth usually stops by mid- to late August, so counting backwards five months puts us into March. That means within a week or two of dropping the old antlers those two bumps (pedicles) on top of a bull elk’s head will start to bulge, then
grow into antlers. Antlers are the only mammalian appendages capable of complete regeneration. A few amphibians can have portions of their bodies severed, only to regrow the lost limb or tail. Not so with mammals, except for antlers. For members of the deer family antlers are both weapons and status symbols, especially for indicating male supremacy. Look around, the natural world is awakening from its winter slumber, stretching and opening its eyes. So should we. ##### “Summer is the season when a man thinks he can cook better on an outdoor grill than his wife can on an indoor stove.”

2015 beef production smaller than expected so far
By Derrell S. Peel, Oklahoma State University Extension USDA estimates beef production through the end of February to be down 5.2 percent from the same period last year. Total cattle slaughter is down 7.0 percent year over year including a 6.4 percent decrease in steer slaughter and a 8.7 percent decrease in heifer slaughter. Total cow slaughter is down 6.6 percent including a 4.0 percent increase in dairy cow slaughter and a 17.9 percent decrease in beef cow slaughter. Overall cattle carcass weights are currently 20 pounds above year ago levels. Average cattle carcass weights are a function of both the carcass weights of various classes of cattle and also the composition of slaughter by class of cattle. Currently, steer carcass weights are up 19 pounds over last year and heifer carcass weights are up 15 pounds. Cow carcass weights are up 29 pounds year over year mostly the result of more dairy cows in the cow slaughter total. So far this year dairy cows represent 58 percent of total cow slaughter compared to 52 percent one year ago. Increased steer and heifer carcass weights reflect feedlot response to market conditions the past several months. Feedlot inventories have been slightly above year earlier levels since November, mostly as a result of delayed feedlot marketings of cattle. Total feedlot placements of cattle the past six months are down 3.8 percent year over year. In the same six months, feedlot marketings are down 7.2 percent. Data from Kansas feedlots shows that feedlots fed cattle an extra 16 days the past six months compared to the same period a year earlier. This led to increased final weights despite the fact that placement weights were smaller. Interestingly, feedlot performance was poorer during the past six months with decreased average daily gains, increased feed/gain ratios and increased death loss. What to expect in the coming months? Fed cattle marketings typically increase seasonally from February to June. Current estimates suggest that total marketings will increase seasonally through May but could be slightly smaller than the same period last year with February and March marketings up slightly year over year and down from year ago levels in April and May. Carcass weights also typically decline to seasonal lows in April or May. While feedlots to have some incentive to feed cattle longer, winter weather may pull cattle and carcass weights down faster than expected in March. The current cold and snow across much of the country will have impacts in the majority of cattle feeding areas. Winter weather may have also affected February feedlot placements. In Oklahoma, combined auction receipts in February were down 17 percent from last year with auction volumes down 47 percent in the last two weeks of February, in part due to adverse weather and road conditions. Though some wheat pasture cattle moved to market in late January and early February, some wheat pasture cattle may have been pushed into early March. Most wheat in Oklahoma is at or near first hollow stem and cattle need to be removed immediately for grain harvest in dual-purpose wheat.

Start planning now if the summer looks dry
By Kris Ringwall, Beef Specialist, NDSU Extension Service Agricultural producers often experience feelings of uncertainty that are sourced in many day-to-day issues. The biggest uncertainty is the weather. Those operations that push the limit for production will experience greater uncertainty than those that target production to the long-term average. A long-term grazing plan is critical for surviving the beef business. My two-plus decades of experiences at the Dickinson Research Extension Center (DREC) taught me, the ability to survive drought is directly dependent on rangeland usage that follows appropriate and correct stocking rates. The other day, while visiting with fellow NDSU Extension Service livestock specialists, the lack of moisture was a topic of discussion. Generally, people talk about the weather in more of a chit-chat tone. However, this discussion was more than just casual talk to pass the time. Dry weather certainly impacts grain and forage crops, which directly affects livestock. After arriving home, I tapped on the drought map tab on the Internet. Through the years, I regularly have visited the drought map at http://droughtmonitor.unl.edu/ because drought is not new. In fact, drought and excess moisture are very frequent concerns in the agricultural community. This year appears to be moving in the direction of dryness. The drought map indicates some dryness moving into many parts of the country. Granted, weather can change quickly, but the drought monitor always has a lingering touch of drought somewhere. Also, the lack of moisture tends to spread out until replenishing rains come. Like many of the good prediction tools available to cattle producers, the drought map is a product of a working relationship among the National Drought Mitigation Center at the University of Nebraska in Lincoln, the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. The tool needs to be used and integrated into the cattle operation. The first point when assessing a pending drought impact is to check your stocking rate with the grazing plan. Ranch operations with effective grazing systems in place are in a position to manage through dry and wet periods without upsetting the focused direction of the operation. The correct stocking rate is critical. The local Natural Resources Conservation Service and the local NDSU Extension Service office are excellent resources for obtaining the correct stocking rate based on local soil types. As a starter, keep in mind a basic assumption that roughly 30 pounds of dry matter per day are needed for a 1,200-pound cow, whether she is grazing or being fed out of a haystack. These are rough numbers that have a significant cushion for waste and some carryover. Remember that larger cows need more, while smaller cows need less. Back to the needs of a 1,200-pound cow: If a producer can find six months of grazing, then six 1,000-pound bales should get baled and hauled home to provide a feed base for the nongrazing months. How many acres per cow per month? To answer the question, each producer needs to visit a range specialist familiar with the local landscape to get the correct number of cow-calf pairs grazing at the proper times. For example, producers ranching in conditions similar to the DREC and running 1,200-pound cows could anticipate a range from lowland, with good range conditions and a stocking rate of 1.43 acres per animal unit month, up to 6.88 acres per animal unit month in pastures that are in fair range condition and dry, according to Lee Manske, DREC range specialist. Typically, DREC upland landscapes that are in good range condition could be stocked at 2.29 acres per animal unit month if the producer is running 1,200-pound cows, or just less than 14 acres per cow in a very generic sense. Is this going to be a normal year? Not sure, but the conservative part of me is saying let’s do some stocking rate checks and potential yield estimates for the hay land to get the bale counts. The impact of dryness can be mediated, but first localize your needs with your local range experts to get a plan. Herd maintenance requires feed, management and careful input evaluation to survive.

Banding corn fertilizer
By James Stordahl, Clearwater/Polk County Extension, Minnesota The use of starter fertilizer placement on the seed (known as in-furrow placement) is commonplace in many areas of Minnesota. Daniel Kaiser, UM Extension Nutrient Management Specialist, recently provided a few things to consider when utilizing starter fertilizer banded on the corn seed. Keep Fertilizer Rates Low: Fertilizer placed in the seed row can have a positive benefit on corn growth early in the growing season and potentially on corn grain yield. High rates of salt and nitrogen products which liberate ammonia (NH30) can have negative effects reducing plant growth and the number of emerged plants. Care should be taken to keep rates low to reduce the risk for damage but maintain a potential for positive benefits from seed placed fertilizer application. Account for Nutrients in the Starter: The amount of total nutrients applied in the starter should be accounted for in an overall fertility program. While the amount of total nutrients may be low, reducing the amount of a particular nutrient broadcast applied by the rate applied in the starter makes economic sense. Knowing what is being applied by all fertilizer sources in a fertility program helps to keep costs as low as possible and prevent over application of nutrients. Keep an Eye on Soil Test Values: Many corn producers may be using starter to enhance their broadcast fertility program. In some instances where money may be tight, seed placed fertilizer may be relied on to supply all needed plant nutrients. A low input program will result in a gradual decline in soil test values over the long-term. If soils begin to test low, some broadcast fertilizer may be warranted to increase grain yield and profitability within a given field or field area. Previous knowledge of soil tests will also allow for the reduction of seed placed fertilizer rates in areas where there may be no benefit. Chose a Product that will be Economic and Fit with Your Goals: With a litany of different product sources available to growers, the best way to select between them is to identify the product that will meet production goals. The best way to compare products is to evaluate the overall cost of the product versus the amount of total nutrients purchased. Choosing a product that will meet your goals with the least cost can help ensure the cost of the product can be recovered with additional grain yield. Do not fall for the ortho- versus poly-phosphate debate: There is an ongoing argument that fertilizer sources containing ortho-phosphate are superior to those that contain polyphosphate. There is some truth to this argument as plants only take up P in the ortho-phosphate form. Fertilizer sources such as 10-34-0 that contain poly-phosphate (60 %), also contain a portion of their total P as ortho-phosphate (40%). Any polyphosphate is quickly converted to ortho-phosphate following application. Early in the growing season, the amount of P needed by plants is low; therefore, and there is no difference in performance of fertilizer sources containing P relative to their content of ortho- or poly-phosphate. The primary goal of applying fertilizer in-furrow will be obtaining a positive economic return on investment from the fertilizer application. Two ways starter can increase profitability are in decreased drying costs due to less moisture in the harvested grain and increased yield. Neither effect is guaranteed in all cases where in-furrow starter is applied. Increased early corn growth is commonplace if in-furrow starters contain phosphorus. Increased early plant growth is not an indicator that the use of starter will result in an economic benefit to a farmer. There are two micronutrients that may be of issue for corn, zinc and iron. The potential for a zinc deficiency is more common than iron and can be assessed using a soil test for zinc. The relative potential for zinc deficiency begins to increase when soil tests 0.75 ppm or less (DTPA Zn test). If a liquid zinc product is to be used ensure that it is fully chelated to prevent the potential reaction of zinc with orthophosphate ions in the starter. Iron deficiencies in corn are very rare but may be possible in areas of central and western Minnesota when soil pH is high (~8.0) and available iron in the soil is very low. Products that contain a significant portion of iron as orthoortho-EDDHA will supply the most available iron to a crop. Due to the cost of products containing o-o-EDDHA, targeting fields with a history of iron deficiency in corn makes the most sense. Iron deficiency chlorosis is a common issue in soybean in central and western Minnesota. The issues that result in iron deficiency in corn are not the same as soybean. A response to iron application in soybean is not indicative that a response will occur in corn. Due to the rarity of the CONTINUED ON PAGE C63
2014 US milk production, disposition and income
Milk production increased 2.4 percent in 2014 to 206 billion pounds. The rate per cow, at 22,258 pounds, was 442 pounds above 2013. The annual average number of milk cows on farms was 9.26 million head, up 33,000 head from 2013. Cash receipts from marketings of milk during 2014 totaled $49.3 billion, 22.5 percent higher than 2013. Producer returns averaged $24.07 per hundredweight, 19.7 percent above 2013. Marketings totaled 205.1 billion pounds, 2.4 percent above 2013. Marketings include whole milk sold to plants and dealers and milk sold directly to consumers. An estimated 962 million pounds of milk were used on farms where produced, 1.5 percent less than 2013. Calves were fed 90 percent of this milk, with the remainder consumed in producer households.

issue, application of iron in the starter is suggested on a trial basis or in field areas with past history of visible iron deficiency symptoms to ensure it will be economical. There is no one size fits all solution when utilizing starter fertilizer. The new publication discusses a few options and situations where starter may be more beneficial. The publication also outlines ranges in rates of application that have resulted in plant growth and stand establishment no less than when starter was not used. Remember that in-furrow starter fertilizer always will present a risk for a negative impact on growth and development of corn. The rate that provides the greatest benefit is less than what can be safely applied on the seed. When utilizing in-furrow starter a less is more philosophy may be warranted and may give a better chance for increasing your bottom line.
