Increasing profits, mitigating risk is focus of 2018 Swine Day
By K-State Research and Extension News Research updates are the cornerstone of Kansas State University’s annual Swine Day, planned for Thursday, November 15. “This year will be a great opportunity to hear about the current status of the swine industry, foreign disease threats, and how new research findings can be implemented on-farm to improve productivity and economics,” said Mike Tokach, University Distinguished Professor and a swine extension specialist in K-State’s Department of Animal Sciences and Industry. The event kicks off with a technology trade show at 8 a.m. in the K-State Alumni Center, located at 17th and Anderson Avenue. During the morning session, K-State faculty will give updates on the latest research impacting producers in 15-minute rotations covering topics on swine nutrition, management, feed processing and feed safety. The afternoon program will begin with David Hogg and Sara McReynolds from the Kansas Department of Agriculture discussing the benefits of implementing Secure Pork Supply for producers. Rodger Main, director of the Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory at Iowa State University, will cover emerging diseases and how diagnostic labs are adapting to help producers. The Swine Day program begins at 9:30 a.m. and includes lunch. The day wraps up with a reception at 3:30 p.m. featuring K-State Call Hall ice cream. Registration costs $25 per person if paid by November 7, and $50 after that date or at the door. Students may attend free of charge if they register by November 7. Registration is available online at www.KSUSwine.org or by sending a check payable to the K-State Department of Animal Sciences and Industry to: Swine Day, 218 Weber Hall, 1424 Claflin Road, Manhattan, KS 66506.

Alfalfa weevil, black grass bug strategies focus of Powell, Sheridan workshops
Alfalfa weevil and black grass bug integrated pest management (IPM) strategies and research are topics of free workshops in Powell and Sheridan, Wyoming in November. The Powell workshop is 2-4 p.m. Tuesday, November 13, at the Powell Research and Extension Center, 747 Road 9. The Sheridan workshop is 2-4 p.m. Wednesday, November 14, at the Sheridan Research and Extension Center, 3401 Coffeen Ave. Alfalfa weevil is the most economically damaging insect to alfalfa grown for hay in the Intermountain region, said Blake Hauptman, University of Wyoming Extension educator based in Crook County. Knowing how to monitor them and when to start a management strategy before populations reach an economic threshold is critical, he said. Improper management can lead to ineffective pesticide applications and waste dollars.

Extension educator Jeremiah Vardiman, based in Park County, will present research and information on alfalfa weevil development and control. Black grass bugs can cause significant damage to western range grasses, primarily to pastures reseeded to introduced wheatgrasses, said Hauptman. UW Extension entomologist Scott Schell will discuss impacts and IPM strategies for the pest. “Pastures with wheatgrass varieties are common in Wyoming and provide substantial amounts of forage for livestock, so it is critical to recognize if black grass bugs are causing considerable damage to your forage resource,” said Hauptman. Contact Vardiman at 307-754-8836 or jvardima@uwyo.edu for information for the Powell workshop, and Hauptman at 307283-1192 or bhauptma@uwyo.edu for the Sheridan workshop.

Great American Smokeout
Date When Held: Third Thursday of the month The goal of this special day is quite obvious: to get people to quit smoking, resulting in fewer health problems, and less cancer and emphysema deaths resulting from smoking and secondary smoke. Quitting smoking is not an easy task. As an exsmoker, this writer knows how hard it is to quit smoking. Often(usually), it takes repeated efforts. That’s okay, as long as you keep trying until you finally succeed. The health benefits, and the prospect of a longer life are crystal clear. The American Cancer Society encourages all smokers to give up the “butt” today. Join millions of other Americans today and take a big step to a happier, healthier, longer life. Origin of Great American Smokeout Day: The American Cancer Society created this day back in 1977. They have promoted it annually since then. Hopefully, someday, this special day will no longer be needed.

Horses at the race
Saturday, December 1, 2018
WWW.CURRANTCREEKANGUS.COM
A champion jockey is about to enter an important race on a new horse. The horse’s trainer meets him before the race and says, “All you have to remember with this horse is that every time you approach a jump, you have to shout, ‘ALLLLEE OOP!” really loudly in the horse’s ear. Providing you do that, you’ll be fine.” The jockey thinks the trainer is mad but promises to shout the command. The race begins and they approach the first hurdle. The jockey ignores the trainer’s ridiculous advice and the horse crashes straight through the center of the jump. They carry on and approach the second hurdle. The jockey, somewhat embarrassed, whispers ‘Aleee oop’ in the horse’s ear. The same thing happened—the horse crashes straight through the center of the jump. At the third hurdle, the jockey thinks, “It’s no good, I’ll have to do it,” and yells “ALLEE OOP!” really loudly. Sure enough, the horse sails over the jump without problems. This continues for the rest of the race, but due to the earlier problems the horse only finishes third. The trainer is fuming and asks the jockey what went wrong. The jockey replies, “Nothing is wrong with me—it’s this bloody horse. What is he—deaf for something? The trailer replies, “Deaf?? DEAF?? He’s not deaf—he’s BLIND!”
Trader’s Dispatch, November 2018 — Page A7
Popular horse hay
Feed is often selected according to availability within a region. Some of the most popular hays (called roughage or long-stem forage) for horses include the following: Legume hays (non-grass) such as alfalfa, which is higher than most hays in protein and calcium content but may not be much higher in energy (mega calories per pound or kilogram). Grass hays such as timothy, Sudan grass, smooth brome grass, orchard grass, tall fescue, oat hay, and prairie hay.
Oat Alert: Oat hay is not commonly used as a horse hay unless it is in the soft dough, green stage, when it can be used for maintenance of older, non-working horses. White, stemy, grain-free oat hay is merely straw that is only good for stall bedding or insulation. Alfalfa Alert: Feeding protein-rich alfalfa hay to young horses is not considered wise. The high calcium content is believed to cause developmental problems in the bones and joints.

The following movements in classical dressage take many years of training to accomplish. Shortcuts in training often result in gimmicky, tense imitations of the true movements. The Piaffe: Think of the piaffe as a lively trot in place (on the spot). It is a highly collected movement, with the horse carrying most of its weight on the hindquarters. The leg joints are extremely flexed, and there is a moment of suspension before diagonal pairs of legs hit the ground. The horse is said to be between the rider’s hand and legs. The Passage: Think of the passage as a trot in slow motion. It is a powerful trot where the legs flex high and forward, with a period of suspension in the air. The Pirouette: This motion appears to the uneducated eye as if the horse and rider are just cantering in a small circle. Actually, the horse is on two tracks, revolving on two circles. The front half of the body forms a large circle around the hindquarters, where the outside hindleg makes a smaller circle around a lifting and lowering inside hindleg. The horse should complete the pirouette with equal, rhythmic bounds, following a slight inside bend of the body. When done at the walk, this is called a turn on the haunches.

The elm seed bug is invading homes and coming indoors within the last several weeks. It was discovered in Montana in November of 2016 in Ravalli County. It has now been confirmed in several counties throughout the state including Jefferson, Fergus, Gallatin, Sanders, Missoula, Broadwater, Stillwater, Lewis and Clark, and Yellowstone. Although it is known to feed on elm seeds, it is not known to do much damage, to date, on elm trees in Montana. It is a nuisance home invader, coming into our homes by the dozens and residing on the south and southwest facing outside walls. They are not harmful to humans, although one client has reported bites. For management, vacuum up all insects coming into the home. Seal all cracks, crevices, and entrances into the home. Repair screens, install door sweeps, and repair any gaps you see at home entrances. You can also use sticky traps to capture them. Perimeter sprays on the foundation can also help, particularly on south and south-facing outside walls. Some of the active ingredients include bifenthrin, cyfluthrin, permethrin, lamda-cyhalothrin, carbaryl, and malathion. Disclaimer: These recommendations are provided only as a guide. It is always the pesticide applicator’s responsibility, by law, to read and follow all current label directions for the specific pesticide being used. Due to constantly changing labels and product registration, some of the recommendations given in this writing may no longer be legal by the time you read them. If any information in these recommendations disagrees with the label, the recommendation must be disregarded. No endorsement is intended for products mentioned.

The sport of fox hunting originated in Britain in the 1500s, and eventually reached most countries worldwide. Fox hunting involves the locating, chasing, and killing of a red fox by a group of riders and their trained foxhounds. The Master of Foxhounds is in charge of leading with the dogs. The riders are divided into groups. The First Field group takes the direct, challenging route that may involve jumping. The Second Field group takes the longer, less rigorous route. In 2004, fox hunting was banned in England and Wales through the activist efforts of those who felt the sport was cruel and unnecessary. In the United States, the sport is now called fox chasing. The fox is chased (for the thrill of the chase), but not killed. ##### What is red and smells like blue paint? Red paint.

NDSU 4-H volunteer project training
By NDSU Extension Service 4-H volunteers likely have been stumped at some point about what project youth would like to start. North Dakota State University (NDSU) Extension’s Center for 4-H Youth Development is offering project training for 4-H volunteers in four North Dakota communities in November. “Attending one of these events is a great way for teen and adult volunteers to gather new 4-H project ideas that create fun learning experiences for all 4-H members,” says Rachelle Vettern, 4-H leadership and volunteer development specialist. The dates and locations for the training are: • November 1, 6 to 9 p.m., Westminster Presbyterian Church, Casselton • November 15, 6 to 9 p.m., Glen Ullin Public School • November 26, 6 to 9 p.m., North Star Public School, Cando • November 29, 6 to 9 p.m., Ward County Administration Building, Minot Topics that will be covered are the Impact Teen Drivers program, how to make an insect collection, 4-H robotics and technology, teaching youth basic jewelry-making skills, the 4-H livestock quiz bowl, and how to excite teens about 4-H and add zest to 4-H meetings. Volunteers also will be able to explore some 4-H projects and educational trunks, which contain hands-on lessons, directions and most of the materials needed to conduct a lesson on a particular topic. Visit https://nd.4honline.com to register for the training. For more information, contact Micki Mertz at 701-231-7259 or micki.mertz@ndsu.edu. ##### I don’t trust the press.

Cake Day
Date celebrated: Always November 26th “Qu’ils mangent de la brioche!” or, “Let them eat cake!” Perhaps the most famous quote about cake ever, these were the words of a great French princess, often likely Marie Antoinette herself, upon being informed that the peasants were so poor that they had no bread to eat during one of the famines that occurred in France during the reign of her husband, Louis XVI. Needless to say, the ignorance and arrogance of that disdainful statement did not win either Marie Antoinette or her husband any respect or sympathy from their people, who then proceeded to behead both of them during the French Revolution. However, none of this changes the fact that cake is arguably one of the most delicious things humans have ever made to eat, and its numerous varieties continue to astound every cake fan. For that reason, it is obvious that cake is more than deserving of its own little holiday. The History of Cake Day The history of cake dates back to ancient times, and the first cakes are thought to have been made in Ancient Greece and Egypt. These first cakes were rather heavy and flat and were eaten at the end of a meal with nuts and honey. Nowadays, this type of cake has evolved into baklava, a traditional Greek dessert and a must-try for any fan of sweet stickiness. In later years the ancient Romans also created their own version of this sweet treat, which was rather creamy and rich. However, like in many cultures around the world, this cake was often reserved for the gods and was offered to them at their temples as a sign of respect, love, and reverence. The Oxford English Dictionary traces the English word cake back to the 13th century. During the Great Depression, it was necessary to provide easy, relatively cheap food to millions of Americans who were living in poverty, and the boxed cake mix was born. The idea turned out to be pure gold, as millions of housewives all over the United States took advantage of this way to make their lives easier. How to Celebrate Cake Day Of course, the best way to celebrate Cake Day is by eating cake with family and friends. You can buy a number of different types of cakes to celebrate the event, or have fun making your own cakes mark the occasion. There are many different kinds of cake to choose from. Yeast cakes are one of the oldest types and are pretty similar to bread in texture, due to the yeast content. There are many different types of cheesecake, from the rich and creamy New York style cheesecakes baked in a graham cracker crust and drowned in cherry syrup, to the healthier varieties made from cottage cheese and filled with orange and lemon peel and raisins that are lower in calories and fat and higher in protein. Sponge cakes rely on the air trapped inside them during baking for their light texture, and are famously paired with rich butter or cream cheese-based icings for balance; however, these icings tend to be a bit complicated to make and are easily ruined, so if you are a novice baker, perhaps go for something a bit simpler. So pick a type of cake that suits you and you family’s or friends’ needs the best and start baking! The experience will be both fun and educational.
Buy Nothing Day
Date When Celebrated: Day after Thanksgiving Are you tired of the commercialism of Christmas? Then, this special day is for you. Buy Nothing Day is a 24 hour moratorium on holiday shopping. It was created as a protest against the commercialism of this most sacred of holidays. Aside from abstaining from shopping on this day, we suggest you reflect upon the true meaning of Christmas. Take a minute to remember what this season is really all about. Is Buy Nothing Day effective? Do people abstain from buying things on this day? Well, there is a reason why the day after Thanksgiving is also called Black Friday. Origin of Buy Nothing Day: The brainchild of Ted Dave from Vancouver Canada, this special day is promoted by a group called “Adbusters”. It was first celebrated in 1992. This holiday is celebrated in Canada, the United States, and some European countries.

Killing freeze affects alfalfa, sorghum/sudangrass grazing
By NDSU Extension Service A killing freeze already has occurred in parts of North Dakota, prompting livestock producers to wonder when their cattle can graze alfalfa, sorghum-sudangrass and sudangrass safely. Livestock producers are concerned about bloat. It occurs when gases created by fermentation cause the rumen reticulum (part of the cow’s stomach) to inflate or overstretch. Alfalfa “In reality, the few days immediately after a frost, the bloat potential in alfalfa goes much higher,” says Carl Dahlen, an associate professor in North Dakota State University’s Animal Sciences Department. “The frost ruptures some of the cell walls in the leaves, increasing the potential for bloat due to an accentuated number of small particles and availability of rapidly fermentable material,” he explains. “The frost already has started the breakdown process, and the animal bloats more readily.” A killing freeze ruptures all of the cell walls, creating the potential for bloat to be highest directly following the killing freeze. “Once the above-ground portion of the alfalfa plant has totally died back, it is safe to graze,” Dahlen says. “We generally recommend not grazing for seven to 10 days after the killing freeze.” Sorghum/sudangrass and Sudangrass Sorghum, sorghum/sudangrass and sudangrass are annual warm-season forage crops planted for silage, haylage or hay, or they can be planted in cover crop mixtures. These grasses contain cyanide, which can be toxic to livestock. “These plants produce cyanogenic glycosides during their growing stage,” says Kevin Sedivec, NDSU Extension rangeland management specialist. “Glycosides are compounds that break down into glucose sugars by hydrolysis, or addition of water. This decomposition process frees the cyanide from its chemical bond, and it becomes toxic hydrocyanic acid, frequently called prussic acid.” The intact, still-bonded cyanide and glycosides are not poisonous, but when certain enzymes are present, they are highly toxic to animals. The enzymes involved in the hydrolysis usually are in the same plant, but they may be available from other sources. An animal’s digestive juices may cause the hydrolysis to occur. This intact glycoside occurs in these plants under normal growing conditions. When livestock eat plants that contain such glycosides, are more than 18 to 24 inches tall and are not under water stress, the animals readily eliminate the glycosides before enough concentration occurs to be harmful. However, certain conditions such as frost and a killing freeze may increase cyanogenic glycosides in the plants, Sedivec cautions. Wilting and frost injury may cause a rapid increase of prussic acid in a plant that would otherwise have been nontoxic. Prussic acid is released very quickly from the glycoside form in frozen leaves, so frosted leaves are very dangerous to eat until they begin to dry out. Typically, once the leaves are totally brown or dead, usually seven days after a killing frost, the aboveground portion of these forage plants is safe to graze. “Because alfalfa is a perennial plant, it is important to not graze your alfalfa or alfalfa-grass stands short,” Sedivec says. “If you do, your risk for winterkill increases, especially in stands greater than 4 years old. We recommend you leave a minimum stubble height of 4 to 6 inches to assure proper snow catch and protection of the alfalfa crown or growth point.”
National Young Readers Day
Date When Celebrated: Second Tuesday of November Reading opens up a lifetime of knowledge, information, success, and happiness. According to the creators of this day, it is “... a special day to recognize the joys and benefits of reading.” Grade schools around the country take advantage of this day, to promote the importance of reading. Use today to help and encourage our youth to learn to read, and open the door to knowledge, information, success, and happiness. Happy Young Readers Day to readers young, and not so young. Origin of Young Readers Day: Young Readers Day was co-founded in 1989 by Pizza Hut and the Center for the Book in the Library of Congress.
Forage disaster payment calculator available
By NDSU Extension Service Livestock producers in 10 North Dakota counties may be eligible for Livestock Forage Disaster Program (LFP) payments because of drought in 2018. North Dakota State University has an Excel program that quickly will provide an estimate of LFP payments under most scenarios in North Dakota, Montana and South Dakota, says Andy Swenson, the NDSU Extension farm and family resource management specialist. The LFP calculator is available at www.ag.ndsu.edu/farmmanagement/farm-bill. LFP, authorized under the 2014 farm bill, provides assistance to producers for grazing losses caused by drought. Payments are determined by the duration and intensity of drought as determined by the U.S. Drought Monitor. Payments can be made for one, three, four or five months of forage loss. As of October 11, livestock producers may be eligible for payments on four months of forage loss in McHenry, Renville and Ward counties; three months in Eddy, Foster, Nelson and Wells counties; and one month in Bottineau, Rolette and Pierce counties. Montana and South Dakota have three and four counties, respectively, that are eligible for one month of forage loss. LFP eligibility rules require that producers own, lease or be a contract grower of covered livestock during the 60 days prior to the qualifying drought. Producers also must have owned or leased grazing land for the livestock in a county affected by drought. Producers must file an acreage report on that grazing land by November 15. Contact your local Farm Service Agency office for complete details.

conduct genetic studies, Burrows said. Washington State University has the only national lentil breeding program in the United States and has collaborators throughout the West and Midwestern United States and Canada. At MSU, Kevin McPhee, professor in MSU’s Department of Plant Sciences and Plant Pathology, is the dedicated pulse crop breeder for the university’s pulse crop breeding program. The lentil project was developed as a direct result of the 2017 Pest Management Strategic Plan for Pulse Crops sponsored by the USDA-NIFA funded Western Region IPM Center, and numerous discussions with growers, seed dealers, crop consultants and grower organizations, Burrows said. “This project is a stakeholder-identified and stakeholderdriven project, and we would not have developed this plan without their support, encouragement and investment,” Burrows said. One of those stakeholders is Terry Angvick from Sheridan County, the top lentil-growing county in the state averaging 50,000 acres per year. “There’s a definite need for it (the research project),” said Angvick, a lentil grower and retired MSU Extension agent. Angvick said he has been growing lentils off and on for about 10 years. The crop helps with disease and weed management since it’s part of the crop rotation on his farm 20 miles south of Plentywood. Lentils reduce his need for fertilizer because they fix nitrogen in the soil. Yet he has noticed that Canadian growers have more issues with disease, Angvick said. He has seen diseases start to show up in the fields of Montanans who rotate crops on a shorter cycle. He looks forward to seeing what the lentil study will discover about crop rotations, the types of diseases affecting pulse crops and other matters, Angvick said. Cahill, the lentil grower from Scobey, wrote in a letter of support for the research project that he, his neighbors and customers have all benefited from the introduction of lentils. He estimated, for example, that a farmer with 1,000 acres of lentils in 2016 earned an extra $235,000 that year. The lack of research-based knowledge has been a problem, however. “As growing lentils has created a valuable opportunity for producers and their communities, it cannot be taken for granted,” Cahill said, adding that the project gives him a sense of hope. “Continuous lentil production has produced root diseases that can seriously affect lentil production.”
French Toast Day
Date When Celebrated: Always November 28 Today is your opportunity to enjoy French toast, a delicious and tasty breakfast meal. Hold it right there! French toast can be enjoyed for any meal time: breakfast, lunch or dinner. Try French toast with male syrup, sugar, cinnamon, whipped cream, or fruits. Better yet, use a combination of these. Make plans to celebrate this special day, eating French toast for AT LEAST one meal today. Did You Know? French toast has other names in its history. They include: American toast, German toast and Spanish toast. Recipes were common back in medieval Europe, where eggs and milk were often used to soften and stale breads, then cook them. Often, other leftovers were added. Its’ real origin dates back to at least ancient Roman times, and probably before.
Grass-legume mixtures provide highest net returns
By University of Wyoming Extension University of Wyoming (UW) researchers have determined grass-legume mixtures have higher productivity and net economic returns than monoculture grass or legume stands. UW Extension forage agroecologist Anowar Islam reports the results in Grass-Legume Mixtures Can Maximize Farm Profits in Wyoming, B-1329. Islam conducted three years of studies at the James C. Hageman Sustainable Agriculture Research and Extension Center near Lingle. He found a 50-50 percent mixture of alfalfa and meadow Bromegrass produced the highest net return. A 50-50 percent mixture of alfalfa and orchardgrass had the second highest net return in his study.

The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse
A white horse bears a conquering horseman, who carries a bow and wears a crown, which some believe symbolizes victory. A red horse carries a warrior holding a sword; the color of the horse is often interpreted as blood shed in battle. A black horse bears a horseman carrying a scale for measurement, which some believe symbolizes famine, desolation, and economic corruption. A pale green horse carries a rider named Death; some interpret the horse’s color as the paleness of death and decay. ##### To remove the gummy remains of a label or sticker on glass or a mirror, cover it in mayonnaise and let it sit for 5-10 minutes, then gently scrape off with a putty knife.

Soil water basics for irrigation management
By University of Wyoming Extension Understanding soil-water relationships for more efficient irrigation is the focus of a new bulletin from the University of Wyoming (UW) Extension. Extension irrigation specialist Vivek Sharma explores the basics of soil water concepts and associated terms in Irrigation Management: Basics of Soil Water, B-1330 A better understanding of definitions and terms associated with soil water can aid communication between agricultural producers, irrigation practitioners, extension personnel, researchers and water management and regulatory agency personnel, said Sharma, based at the Powell Research and Extension Center and an assistant professor in the Department of Plant Sciences at UW. Topics include soil composition, soil bulk density, soil water content, the soil moisture characteristic curve, available water capacity, total available water and the water balance, among others. The publication is available for free viewing or downloading at http://www.wyoextension.org/publications/Search_ Details.php?pubid=1987&pub=B-1330. The document is available in PDF, HTML or ePub formats.
Defrost it!
A frosty freezer can make a tough job for your freezer’s motor, which not only makes it less energy efficient, but can also lead to the motor burning itself out! If you have a quarter of an inch of frost build-up or more, it’s time to defrost your freezer. Here’s the easiest way how: Turnoff your freezer, then turn a hairdryer on it. Use a wooden spoon to dislodge any large chunks of ice and throw them in your sink or potted plants. Once it’s free of ice, wash it down with warm water with a bit of dishwashing liquid mixed in. Before you move back your perishables, first spray the entire freezer with non-stick cooking spray. It will make frost less likely to form, and ice a breeze to dislodge.

November, 2018 will be... Adoption Month
History of Adoption Month Also called Adoption Awareness Month, it began in 1976 when Massachusetts Governor Michael Dukakis announced an Adoption Week to promote the need for families to adopt children in foster care. From there, then holiday became official under the presidency of Ronald Reagan in 1984. A few years later, in 1995, President Clinton proclaimed that Adoption Week should be changed to a month instead of a week because of the pressing need for adoptive families to take part in adopting children. From there, President Clinton expanded the adoption process by allowing families to use the internet as a resource for adoption. Adoption Month became a national holiday for people to take part in. Current officials and candidates generally support this effort, and since then, Adoption Month has been proven to be somewhat successful. Since 2014, roughly 50,000 children have been adopted each year with the average age being about 7 years old. However, more statistics state that while 81.5 million Americans have considered adoption, about 23,000 children age out of foster care without finding a family. While more research is still in the process as each year passes, adoption is an important decision to make in a person’s life and should always consider all of the factors at play. How to Celebrate Adoption Month If you or a friend is considering adoption, then take research into all the factors associated with the adoption process, the child you want, and what it would cost to take care of the child. If you are ready for this important life decision, then talk with your local adoption center and see how you can get started. Take some time to research what the adoption process is like and see how you can change a child’s life forever. One of the best ways you can spread awareness of this holiday is by sharing it on social media so all of your friends and family members can know what day it is by using the hashtag #adoptionmonth.

USDA offers secure, convenient online business options
Farmers, ranchers and agricultural producers in Wyoming have new online options to access U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) programs. Through USDA’s new streamlined process producers can now register, track and manage their applications for the Market Facilitation Program (MFP) and 2017 Wildfires Hurricanes Indemnity Program (2017 WHIP) on the secure and convenient https://www.farmers.gov/signin. “You can conduct business with USDA from the comfort of your home, office, or mobile device,” said SED Lois Van MARK, U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Farm Service Agency (FSA) State Executive Director for Wyoming. “These online services save time, reduce paperwork and, in some cases, speed up processing.” MFP and 2017 WHIP are administered by FSA and are currently available on the https://www.farmers.gov/sign-in. To apply and manage their applications online, producers first need to sign up for the Level 2 eAuthentication access. Enrolling is a two-step process. For producers who do not already have an account can register for an account at www.eauth.usda.gov. After creating the account, customers receive a confirmation email with instructions for
identity verification. Identity verification can be completed online or by presenting a government issued photo ID in person at a USDA service center. In addition to the programs available through the farmers.gov portal, other programs offered by FSA can be managed at the Online Services page with the same eAuthentication credentials. “We know doing business online has become a key part of many agricultural operations and hope our online services can provide the ease and convenience you’ve come to expect,” said SED Van MARK. Individual producers have many options available for conducting business online with USDA agencies including FSA, Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) and the Risk Management Agency (RMA). Online tools such as the NRCS Conservation Client Gateway offer customers added flexibility and a secure web portal to track payments, report completed practices, request assistance, and sign documents. Level 2 eAuthentication access is not yet available for entities, but it is available for individuals. To learn more about conducting business with USDA online and to locate the nearest USDA service center, visit www.farmers. gov.

What is a healthful diet, anyway?

The deadline for advertising in the December issue of the Trader's Dispatch will be November 28th.
By Julie Garden-Robinson, Food and Nutrition Specialist, NDSU Extension Do you know anyone on a diet? Have you ever been on a diet? The answer to both of those questions for everyone is “yes.” Technically, we all are “on a diet.” According to the first definition in most dictionaries, a “diet” consists of the “kinds of food that a person, animal or community eats.” In other words, if you eat food, you are on a diet. Because you are alive and reading this, you must be eating food on a regular basis. Most of the time, people think of “diets” as somewhat restrictive. Many people associate being “on a diet” with attempts to lose weight. Others follow diets because of medical, religious, cultural or other reasons. Sometimes diets are described based on nutritional content. For example, have you heard of special diets that are low-fat, low-sodium, high-protein and/or low-carbohydrate? Some diets are named after the person who developed the plan, the place where it was developed or the featured food in the diet. Somewhere in my file cabinets, I have files of creatively named fad diets, including the cabbage soup diet, beer diet, grapefruit diet, cookie diet and popcorn diet. These were not long-term, sustainable diets, though. I would not recommend any of them. When new information is released from a study, diets make headlines. Most recently, you may have read or heard about the link between restricting carbohydrates and shortening your lifespan. The article was published in the respected Lancet Public Health journal. The authors analyzed data from 15,400 middle-aged adults from the Atherosclerosis Risk in Community study and published data from seven studies with 432,000 adults from 20 countries. According to their analysis, those eating moderate amounts of carbohydrates (50 to 55 percent of total calories) CONTINUED ON PAGE A36

MSU hires horticulturalist at Western Ag Research Center
The Montana State University College of Agriculture and Montana Agricultural Experiment Station have hired Rachel Leisso as an assistant professor of fruit horticulture at the Western Agricultural Research Center in Corvallis. Leisso will be working at WARC to develop a research program and lab to support the area’s small fruit and growing horticulture industries, particularly with apple cultivars. She has a doctorate in horticulture from Washington State University and formerly worked at the Tree Fruit Research Laboratory at the U.S. Department of Agriculture Agricultural Research Center in Wenatchee, Washington. “I’m excited to join the agricultural faculty at MSU and WARC. I see great potential for the small fruit and apple industry across Montana,” Leisso said. WARC Superintendent Zach Miller said Leisso’s expertise as a plant pathologist and her experience analyzing post-harvest qualities in apple varieties is an asset for Montana. “Many producers are looking at orchard production and management specifically for ciders,” Miller said. “For WARC to have the capacity to provide a detailed analysis of samples for market qualities not only in apples, but for wine and berry varieties as well, provides a critical service for the apple and small fruit industries in Montana.”
ally, Leisso will also be working on a project funded by the Montana Department of Agriculture’s Specialty Crop Block Grant with Miller and Katrina Mendrey, WARC orchard program manager. The project is slated to improve cold injury and pest management in apple production by defining dessert and cider apple cultivars for Montana based on bloom time, frosts, disease and pest management. This work is being conducted in collaboration with MSU Extension and the Montana Climate Center at the University of Montana. Darrin Boss, head of the Department of Research Centers, said WARC’s horticulture focus is unique from the crop and livestock research at MSU’s additional six statewide research centers and addresses a burgeoning agricultural sector in Montana. He added the center is also addressing conventional and organic production practices for traditional and specialty crops. “This mix of research on agricultural outputs should strategically place WARC at the forefront of the small acres-high value agricultural research field,” Boss said. “WARC has a long and important history of conducting research and programs that support Montana’s agricultural industry and the Bitterroot Valley. Rachel will be a wonderful addition to the university.” The mission of the Montana Agricultural Experiment Station is to conduct meaningful basic and applied research for the agricultural industry in Montana.

lived four years longer. Those who ate high-carbohydrate diets lived one year longer. In other words, skipping carbohydrates was not good for you. The carbohydrate level associated with longer lifespans is consistent with the current recommendations in the U.S. Dietary Guidelines for Americans. Numerous studies are considered when developing national guidelines every five years. What’s a healthful eating pattern, anyway? In January 2018, the Mediterranean Diet and DASH Diet tied for the No. 1 spot as the top-ranked diets overall, according the annual U.S. News and World Reports rankings. I think most nutrition specialists would concur that these eating patterns are associated with better health. The DASH diet, short for Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension, features a variety of food groups. On a 2,000-calorie diet, for example, the diet includes six to eight (1-ounce) servings of grains (focusing on whole grains); four to five (1/2-cup to 1-cup) servings of vegetables; four to five (1/2-cup) servings of fruit; two to three (1-cup) servings of fat-free or low-fat milk; about 6 ounces of lean meat, poultry or fish; and four to five weekly servings of nuts, seeds and legumes. The DASH diet allows two to three daily servings of fats. One serving is 1/2 teaspoon of vegetable oil or soft margarine. It limits sweets and added sugars to five servings per week. One serving is 1 tablespoon of jelly or 1 cup of regular lemonade, for example. The DASH diet has been shown to reduce high blood pressure, which, in turn, can reduce the risk of stroke, heart disease and blindness. The Mediterranean style of eating is based on what people in Spain, Italy and other Mediterranean countries have eaten for centuries. It includes fruit, nuts, legumes, seeds, vegetables, beans, grains and olive oil as part of every meal. It includes medium amounts of fish and seafood consumed at least twice per week; medium-to-low amounts of poultry, eggs, cheese and yogurt; and lower amounts of meat and sweets. The Mediterranean eating pattern is associated with reducing the risk for heart disease, cancer, Parkinson’s disease and Alzheimer’s disease. Eating “Mediterranean-style” also includes other lifestyle factors, such as getting plenty of physical activity. It encourages slowing down and savoring your meals and limiting portion sizes, so you may lose weight in the process. The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s MyPlate, available at https://www.choosemyplate.gov, includes aspects of both of these health-promoting diets. See https://medlineplus.gov/ dasheatingplan.html for more information about the DASH pattern. If you are on a diet for medical reasons, check with a registered dietitian and your health provider team. Aim to meet the recommendations for fruits and vegetables, the food groups most often lacking in the diets of adults and children. Here’s a colorful recipe with plenty of vegetables and fruit, along with nuts and cheese, to get you started. The Ultimate Fruit, Cheese and Nut Salad 3 c. spring greens 1 small apple or pear, cut into thin slices 1/2 c. grapes, sliced lengthwise 1/8 c. crumbled feta cheese 1/4 c. toasted walnut halves In a large bowl, toss greens, apples and grapes together. Pour favorite dressing over the fruit and lettuce and toss again to combine. Top salad with feta crumbles and toasted walnuts. Serve immediately. Makes two servings. Each serving (without your favorite dressing) has 180 calories, 12 grams (g) fat, 5 g protein, 19 g carbohydrate, 4 g fiber and 115 milligrams sodium. ##### He lived by the tracks, and every morning precisely at 3:00 a.m. a train rumbled by, honking its horn repeatedly. Nonetheless, the homeowner slept peacefully night after night. That is, until one day the train was canceled. At one minute past 3, the man woke with a start, sat straight up in bed, and shouted to his wife, “What was that?” ##### Did you know? In just one day, hurricanes produce enough energy to power the millions of lights in Las Vegas for many years.

Stint as a student chef prompts me to keep my day job
By Julie Garden-Robinson, Food and Nutrition Specialist, NDSU Extension “Zucchini are easier to slice if you cut them from top to bottom,” the student chef said to me. I cut the zucchini as described. I was enjoying a culinary workshop on Spanish and Mediterranean-inspired foods one afternoon at a conference out of state. “You were supposed to cut the zucchini on the bias,” the chef instructor said as he examined my work. The recipe said to ask the chef for instructions. I asked the wrong chef. “I didn’t tell her to do that,” the student chef said. “Yes, you did,” I thought to myself. He probably was being graded. I wasn’t about to argue. With his chef’s toque (hat), the instructor must have been 7 feet tall. If I were being graded, I was below the curve at this point. I conversed with the instructor after getting a new zucchini, which I cut in slanted strips (on the bias) and then tossed with olive oil in a large bowl. I had redeemed myself, I thought. “I will demonstrate how to grill eggplant properly,” he said to me. Soon I was cutting the shiny purple-skinned eggplants into thin slabs on the bias and tossing them in a little olive oil. Cutting them like this exposes more surface area for flavor development. “You are cutting up a female eggplant,” he noted. Oh, dear. I grinned, bit my lip and said nothing. I already have written a column about the fact that peppers and eggplants are not male or female. I headed to the hot grill and laid the zucchini and eggplant on the grates. Did I mention the grill was really hot? I was sharing the large grill with another workshop participant, who was grilling red peppers. The peppers caught on fire and were shooting up flames. The chef wandered over, grabbed some tongs and nonchalantly threw the burning peppers in a bowl and told her to start over. I didn’t want my eggplant slabs to burn, so I flipped them. “Why did you turn them already?” the chef asked. “We also want them to have criss-cross grill marks. You need to flip them from the 10 o’clock to the 2 o’clock position.” I’m going to have to turn in my chef hat and apron, I thought to myself. “Well, I flipped them because you abandoned me,” I said, laying on the guilt and giving him a bad time. He laughed. “OK, I won’t abandon you again.” I felt and looked like a roasted tomato after standing at the grill, cooking enough roasted vegetables for about three dozen people. I tossed the grilled veggies with more olive oil, a splash of red wine vinegar and some coarse salt and black pepper. I placed the “good ones” with the criss-cross grill marks on top of the serving platter and garnished the tray with parsley. The participants ate all of my grilled veggies, so I count that as success. Eggplant has an interesting history. Besides grilling, eggplant can be roasted, fried, steamed or sautéed. Eggplant is high in water content and low in calories at just 18 calories per half-cup of cooked eggplant. It provides some fiber, vitamin C and iron. See https://tinyurl.com/NDSUGrilledVeggies for more information about grilling vegetables. Eggplant history dates back to early China. However, when the eggplant made its way to Europe, Europeans gave it an unflattering nickname. The eggplant was called “mala insana,” which means the “apple of madness.” According to food historians, the eggplant gained that unsavory name as a result of being in the nightshade family. Some nightshade plants are poisonous, and tomatoes also were shunned because they were believed to be deadly. Eggplant, known as “aubergine” in France, is used in a variety of international cuisines, particularly Greek and Italian. Eggplant’s mild flavor and sponge like texture absorb the flavor of added ingredients, such as garlic, basil and oregano. Have you tried “Eggplant Parmesan” at an Italian restaurant? How about “Babaganoush” or “Moussaka” at a Greek restaurant? If any of these dishes sound appealing, pick up an eggplant and give it a try on your menu. When selecting an eggplant, choose one with shiny skin and no dark spots, which indicate decayed areas. Although the peeling can be eaten, more mature eggplant will have a tougher skin.

Negative reinforcers
Whips, crops, and bats are stick-shaped implements that can subtly pressure or persuade a horse to respond a certain way, if used properly. Spurs on the rider’s boots can work in the same way. A person’s voice used loudly, in a firm manner, can also be used as a means of reprimanding. Beware: When whips, spurs, and voice are used harshly or at the wrong time, they can instill fear, resentment, and rebellion.

By K-State Research and Extension News Students gathered on the Kansas State University campus to gain livestock industry knowledge and develop leadership skills as part of the annual K-State Animal Sciences Leadership Academy (KASLA). Hosted by the K-State Department of Animal Sciences and Industry and sponsored by the Livestock and Meat Industry Council, the academy’s goal is to develop young leaders within the livestock industry and prepare them for a successful future in this field. This year’s class included: Rachelle Anderson, Jamestown; Lindsey Ascher, Milford; Tessa Beeman, Hamilton; Clay Brillhart, Fort Scott; Walker Clawson, Mead; Wesley Denton, Blue Rapids; Danika Gordon, Whitewood, S.D.; Norman Highfill, Atchison; Ben Jensen, Courtland; Kenzie McAtee, LaCygne; Kami McComb, Pratt; Anaya McCune, Benton; Becca Paine, Hutchinson; Abbie Schwab, Goddard; Sarah Sergeant, Lebo; Wyatt Slade, Haviland; Lauren Terry, Nortonville; Shelby Varner, Towanda; and Tray Zabokrtsky, Morrowville. During their time at the KASLA, students participated in interactive leadership development and educational sessions led by K-State faculty members. Participants completed the college experience by dining at the K-State Student Union, completing the K-State challenge course and staying in Ford Hall. The KASLA also included a half day of livestock industry tours in northeast Kansas, with stops including Hildebrand Farms Dairy, Junction City; Seaboard Foods, Shawnee; Bichelmeyer Meats, Kansas City; and The American Royal, Kansas City. They also enjoyed tours of university farms and the College of Veterinary Medicine. For their final project, the students were divided into groups during to focus on current issues affecting the livestock industry. Faculty mentors from the animal sciences department assisted each group. Using the information they learned throughout the academy, the groups were asked to present their subject as part of the closing reception on the final day. About 75 family, friends and members of the K-State community gathered for the closing reception to honor the graduates and hear their thoughts on several important livestock issues. More information about the academy is available online at www.youthlivestock.ksu.edu. For questions, contact academy director Sharon Breiner at sbreiner@ksu.edu or 785-532-6533.

Fall checklist for cattle producers
By NDSU Extension Service Fall is when beef cattle producers make many management and labor decisions, including repairing cattle-working facilities, moving cattle to fall grazing, assessing crop residue opportunities and wondering if winter feed supplies will be enough. Producers have other issues they should consider this time of year as well, according to North Dakota State University (NDSU) Extension livestock specialists. One of those issues is assessing the body condition score (BCS) in cows nursing calves. “Scheduling pregnancy checks for cows nursing calves provides a good opportunity to identify cows for market and to vaccinate calves preweaning,” says Karl Hoppe, Extension livestock systems specialist at NDSU’s Carrington Research Extension Center. “Pregnancy checking heifers provides the opportunity to market open females directly off pasture.” Bulls also need to be evaluated in the fall for foot, leg and penile injuries, and BCS, Hoppe says. Mature bulls should have minimal weight loss during the breeding season, while yearling bulls will lose some weight during the breeding season and would benefit from improved nutrition when removed from the breeding herd. Another key component of fall herd management is an assessment of the risk of certain diseases, and the efficacy and safety of specific products such as vaccines. “The preweaning vaccination protocol provides an ideal opportunity to follow up on springtime vaccinations and enhance the immune response to respiratory pathogens,” says Gerald Stokka, Extension veterinarian and livestock stewardship specialist. Respiratory disease is one of the primary risks to weaned calves. The bovine respiratory disease complex (BRDC) is associated with the stress of weaning, diet change, transportation or movement to new surroundings, and often the commingling of different pasture groups on the same ranch. Enhancing the calves’ immunity to specific potential pathogens can decrease the risk of BRDC, Stokka says. Sorting and vaccinating calves while still nursing their dams reduces the stress of calf processing. The infection risk is related to several viral and bacterial pathogens. Depending on a veterinarian’s assessment of the risk to the herd, calves may need booster doses at weaning or they simply may be separated from their dams without additional vaccinations. Modified live virus vaccines (MLV), often called five-way viral vaccines, that are labeled for use on nursing calves can provide excellent protection when properly handled and administered according to label instructions, Stokka says. Mannheimia haemolytica infections often are implicated in pre and post weaning respiratory disease cases, and vaccines against this pathogen commonly will be included, very often in combination with the MLV virus vaccines. In specific herds, other bacterial vaccines may be necessary, depending on herd history and risk. “It is important to remember that killed/inactivated vaccines will usually require a booster dose to achieve an adequate level of protection,” Stokka notes. “Consult your veterinarian about specific products related to viral and bacterial vaccines.” Other health risks to calves include: • Clostridial diseases, commonly called “blackleg” - The risk of this infection is difficult to assess; however, the organism that causes these diseases lives in the soil and can cause severe illness and death in susceptible animals. A second vaccine dose administered in the fall will enhance protection against this family of pathogens. • Internal parasites if cattle are on grass - Calves with internal parasites will have reduced feed/forage intake, resulting in reduced weaning weights. Internal parasites also can have a negative impact on the calves’ ability to respond to vaccination. If dewormer products are used at preweaning, calves should be moved to clean pastures to avoid reinfection. However, with the recent hard frost, the risk of re-infection is negligible. • External parasites such as horn fly and face fly - These populations have decreased dramatically and treatment for these no longer is necessary. Treatment for biting and sucking lice is not recommended at this time. The feeding activity of lice will increase with colder weather, so hold off on treatments until signs of lice appear. If possible, commingle calves from different pastures prior to weaning. This may seem unnecessary; however, calves CONTINUED ON PAGE B8

Stress and mental health in rural areas
By K-State Research and Extension News Unpredictable weather, falling net farm income, spotty health care services and a host of other factors can make for incredible stress on farms and in rural communities. Many of the factors causing sleepless nights are beyond an individual’s control, yet there are often ways to manage the stress, according to North Dakota State University (NDSU) family science specialist Sean Brotherson. “People will power through even if they don’t feel well,” said Brotherson, speaking at a recent K-State Research and Extension workshop in Manhattan. “There’s a cost to that. You can’t put your health or relationships on the back end for long without consequences.” The most important asset of any agricultural operation is the health and wellness of the farm operator, said Brotherson, who also presented a workshop on the same topic in Dodge City. “Sustainable farming includes sustaining the farmer,” he said. Farming and ranching ranks in the top 10 of the most stressful occupations. That stress can lead to depression, anger, health concerns, failed marriages, loss of friendships or relationships with family members, alcohol or substance abuse or worse. “When we talk about farm safety, we often talk about accident prevention but we tend to neglect talk about mental and emotional health,” Brotherson said, adding that’s a mistake. He knows about the topic firsthand. His own family went through a decision to sell their part of the family ranch to an uncle and cousins after his father became ill. It made financial sense, he said, but having his side of the family give up their role in the business was in some ways giving up part of their identity and their role in the family farm legacy. The way we think about and approach stressors makes up 40 to 50 percent of our stress, Brotherson said, noting that if people believe there will be a rough road ahead from an economic standpoint, the thought of what might be coming can produce anxiety. Current obvious causes of stress have been drought conditions this year, expectations that crop prices will continue to stay relatively low, the potential for trade disruptions linked to tariffs, and upticks in interest rates. Despite the overall U.S. economy booming, the farm economy has been in a slump the past several years: “This great economic condition is not translating into a good farm economy. Many farmers are very good at what they do, yet some still find themselves in situations that they can’t control,” Brotherson said. Net farm income, a broad measure of profits, is forecast to decrease $9.8 billion (13.0 percent) from 2017 to $65.7 billion in 2018, after increasing $13.9 billion (22.5 percent) in 2017, according to an August report (https://www.ers.usda. gov/topics/farm-economy/farm-sector-income-finances/ highlights-from-the-farm-income-forecast/) from the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Economic Research Service. The situation is taking a toll, Brotherson said. Some feel extra pressure because their farm has been in the family for generations and they don’t want to be the one to lose it. “Stress signals are like the warning lights blinking on your truck’s dashboard,” Brotherson said. “We often want to ignore them but at some point, there is a price to pay – a heart attack, broken relationships, depression or worse. You maintain your car to keep it running properly. You have to maintain your health, too.” “We know that stress in a family affects each member of that household,” said Debra Bolton, human ecology extension specialist at K-State. “Having Dr. Botherson’s series of lessons gives extension educators another tool for addressing family health more holistically.” Bolton is part of a K-State Research and Extension team that is deeply involved in adopting and promoting programming that strengthens families in Kansas. What to do: Coping strategies include things that help you unwind, Brotherson said. Listen to music at least some of the time, rather than farm news, political ads, or other news. Take a walk, garden, meditate, watch a movie, or schedule regular social time with friends. One participant shared that her brother who farms has for years gone into town to play basketball several times a week. General suggestions include: • Exercise at least 20 minutes a day – walk, bicycle or swim. CONTINUED ON PAGE B8

• Get at least seven to eight hours of sleep. • Take time every day to reflect on good things in your life. • Write your thoughts in a journal. • Spend 30 minutes doing something with your hands. • Learn something new or restart a hobby or activity that you once enjoyed. • Reach out to someone for support or help – a friend, a counselor, a loved one. • Volunteer to help with a cause that’s important to you. •Do random acts of kindness. K-State Research and Extension has teamed with NDSU’s Brotherson to share resources linked to farm stress management including a tip sheet (https://www.bookstore. ksre.ksu.edu/pubs/MF3421.pdf). In addition, K-State programs such as the Farm Analyst program (https://www. agmanager.info/programs/ksu-farm-analyst-program), Kansas Agricultural Mediation Service (http://www.k-state. edu/kams/) and Kansas Farm Management Association (https://www.agmanager.info/kfma) are available to work with rural enterprises.

We will have a display of the WEEDit Sprayer System at the Grain Growers Convention November 28-29, 2018 Heritiage Inn, Great Falls, MT Montana Organic Association Show December 6-8, 2018 Mansfield Center, Great Falls, MT
WEEDit:
Spot & Precision Spraying
It’s hard to believe you can take the best loader in the industry and make it better. But that’s exactly what Bobcat has done. Our loaders offer more cab space, improved visbility, increased fuel capacity and more. It’s increased comfort and performance all across the board.
WEEDit’s intellgent sensors sample the ground 40,000 times per second searching for living plant matter and applies chemical only to the target, allowing you to increase chemical rates and still save money on applications. Use up to 90% less chemical - WEEDit combines very accurate and super fast weed detecting technology to only spray weeds in a highly efficient matter. High speed = high productivity - A very significant benefit of the Weedit is its high speed operation. This operating speed means more productivity and more time saved! Background calibration - WEEDit is less sensitive to changes in background conditions because it only measures cholorophyll, and is automatic so the system is always operating at its optimum. Electrical management - With so many solenoids, sensors and powerful light sources these systems place significant demands on power supplies. The WEEDit system overcomes these issues by running at 48V.

USDA designates Wyoming counties as primary natural disaster areas
Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue designated four Wyoming counties as primary natural disaster areas. Producers in Big Horn and Laramie counties, who suffered losses due to hail, high winds, excessive rain, flash flooding, lightning and tornadoes, may be eligible for U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Farm Service Agency (FSA) emergency loans. Also producers in Sweetwater and Carbon counties, who suffered loss due to a recent drought may be eligible for loans. This designation by Secretary Perdue allows FSA to extend much-needed emergency credit to producers recovering from natural disasters. Emergency loans can be used to meet various recovery needs including replacing essential items such as equipment or livestock, reorganizing a farming operation or refinance certain debts. Producers in the contiguous counties of Albany, Converse, Fremont, Natrona, Sublette, Uinta in Wyoming, along with Jackson, Moffat, and Routt counties in Colorado, and Daggett and Summit counties in Utah are also eligible to apply for emergency loans. The deadline to apply for these emergency loans is May 28, 2019 for Carbon county and June 3, 2019 for Sweetwater county. Hailstorm and High Winds Producers in Big Horn County, who suffered losses from a hailstorm and high winds that occurred on July 26, 2018, may apply for an emergency loan to help cover part of their actual losses. Producers in the contiguous counties of Johnson, Park, Sheridan, Washakie in Wyoming, along with Big Horn and Carbon

counties in Montana, are also eligible to apply for emergency loans. Excessive Rain, Flash Flooding, Hail, High Winds, Lightning and Tornadoes Producers in Laramie County, who suffered losses from excessive rain, flash flooding, hail, high winds, lightning and tornadoes that occurred July 29 through Aug. 7, 2018, may apply for an emergency loan to help cover part of their actual losses. Producers in the contiguous counties of Albany, Goshen and Platte in Wyoming, along with Larimer and Weld counties in Colorado, and Banner and Kimball counties in Nebraska, are also eligible to apply for emergency loans. The deadline to apply for these emergency loans is June 17, 2019. FSA will review the loans based on the extent of losses, security available and repayment ability. FSA has a variety of addition programs to help farmers recover from the impacts of this disaster. FSA programs that do not require a disaster declaration include: Operating and Farm Ownership Loans; the Emergency Conservation Program; Livestock Forage Disaster Program; Livestock Indemnity Program; Emergency Assistance for Livestock, Honeybees and Farm-Raised Fish Program; and the Tree Assistance Program. Farmers may contact their local USDA service center for further information on eligibility requirements and application procedures for these and other programs. Additional information is also available online at https://www.farmers.gov/recover.

##### The autumnal equinox occurs on different dates each year, but usually falls on September 22 or 23. In 1931, the equinox fell on September 24 because the Gregorian calendar doesn’t always match up with the position of Earth in its orbit around the sun. The fall equinox won’t happen again on September 24 until 2303. ##### A “Harvest Moon” is the full moon closest to the autumn equinox. Before artificial lighting, such moonlight was essential to a farmer’s successful harvest.

Grain markets favor storage; alternative structures likely option
By Katie Pratt, University of Kentucky College of Agriculture Continuous years of large crops and demand uncertainty makes grain storage attractive for producers this fall. While Kentucky producers have added on-farm storage to their operations in recent years, many will store corn and soybeans in alternative structures through the winter, particularly as markets are showing positive returns. “Higher futures prices in spring 2019 and a wide basis are classic market signs for storage,” said Todd Davis, agricultural economist in the University of Kentucky (UK) College of Agriculture, Food and Environment. “Given the current futures carry and average basis appreciation after harvest, the net return for storing corn until February is $0.19 per bushel and $0.29 a bushel for storage until May. Soybeans should have a net return of $0.45 per bushel if held until January and $0.57 per bushel return in May. This return is over the opportunity cost of not selling grain at harvest.” The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s September crop report predicts a U.S. corn crop of 14.8 billion bushels. If realized, it would be the second largest crop on record. The report puts soybean production at 4.6 billion bushels. Projections for Kentucky are 214 million bushels for corn and 119 million bushels for soybeans, according to the Kentucky Agricultural Statistics Service. Kentucky producers grew about 3 million fewer bushels of corn compared to last year, but they have raised 16 million more bushels of soybeans than last year. Alternative storage structures have become more common across the state in recent years as producers hold larger amounts of grain in anticipation of better marketing opportunities. Equipment storage buildings, grain bags and covered outdoor piles are some of the more common alternative storage structures. Producers who plan to store grain in alternative structures need to keep a watchful eye. “A producer’s job really isn’t done until grain has passed grade at the elevator and is sold,” said Sam McNeill, UK extension agricultural engineer. “The diligence spent scouting fields during the growing season should transfer to managing stored grain.” If producers properly dry and cool grain, protect it from pests, aerate and regularly inspect it, it will store well with little chance of excess spoilage, which will help prevent potential price docks when delivered for sale. Clean, undamaged grain is best for temporary storage when farmers use less-than-ideal facilities. Producers should aim for 14 percent moisture content for corn and 12 percent for soybeans that will be stored in alternative structures through February. If held through May, producers should reduce these levels by 0.5 to one point of moisture to compensate for warmer temperatures. Producers should thoroughly clean storage sheds before putting grain in them, and they need to fill all temporary structures last and empty them first. A properly designed aeration system is essential for successful grain storage and is the key to maintaining uniform temperatures, which control moisture accumulation and subsequent grain spoilage. Producers should run aeration fans at least once a month in flat storage buildings and continuously in covered piles to hold down the cover. Producers should routinely monitor grain held in alternative storage structures for damage from rodents, birds and insects. These structures are at greater risk for damage due to inherent exposure. Producers should address any issues quickly with approved pest control methods. Alternative storage costs vary widely depending on the type of structure, its original condition and holding capacity. Farmers can use a spreadsheet available on the UK Department of Biosystems and Agricultural Engineering website, https://www.uky.edu/bae/grain-storage-systems/, to estimate the amount of grain these types of structures can hold. They can enter the dimensions of the structure, pile or bag to calculate storage capacity in bushels. The UK Cooperative Extension Service also has a recent publication, ID-249: A Comprehensive Guide to Soybean Management in Kentucky (http://www2.ca.uky.edu/agcomm/pubs/ID/ID249/ID249. pdf), which includes chapters on production economics and post-harvest management. County extension offices have additional information on managing stored grain in bins or alternative structures.

Department of livestock announces new brucellosis rules
The Montana Department of Livestock (MDOL) has adopted changes to rules affecting vaccination requirements and the boundary of the Designated Surveillance Area (DSA). The newly adopted brucellosis vaccination rule (ARM 32.3.433) mandates that eligible animals in 10 Montana counties must be vaccinated against brucellosis. The change requires that all sexually intact female cattle and domestic bison 12 months of age or older in Beaverhead, Big Horn, Broadwater, Carbon, Gallatin, Jefferson, Madison, Park, Stillwater, and Sweet Grass Counties must be brucellosis vaccinates. Prior to this rulemaking, only cattle and domestic bison in Gallatin, Madison, Park, and Beaverhead Counties were required to be vaccinates. This rule includes cattle that enter any of these counties for seasonal grazing. Beyond the addition of new counties, the rule also moves away from December 1st as the cutoff date for completion of vaccination and no longer specifies that animals be calfhood vaccinates. This gives producers more options for the management of replacement heifers and allows animals to be vaccinated as adults. “Vaccination in a broader area than Montana’s DSA provides some protection from sudden changes to the distribution of infected wildlife on the landscape,” said Eric Liska, brucellosis program veterinarian with MDOL. “Vaccination has been shown
to minimize the spread of the disease if it is introduced into a livestock herd.” Producers who have not vaccinated their replacement females in the past should contact their local veterinarian to schedule replacement heifer vaccinations and discuss options for unvaccinated adult females in the herd. Additionally, changes to ARM 32.3.433 adjusts the DSA boundary in a portion of Beaverhead County. Cattle and domestic bison that utilize this area will be subject to all brucellosis DSA regulations. DSA regulations include brucellosis testing prior to change of ownership and movement as well as vaccination and identification requirements. The DSA boundary has expanded 3 times since 2009. Each expansion was made in response to findings of brucellosis in elk which required the inclusion of additional cattle and domestic bison in the surveillance program. Undetected disease spread outside of Montana’s DSA could jeopardize Montana’s federal brucellosis Class Free status, and in 2008, a loss of brucellosis Class Free status was estimated to have cost Montana’s producers up to $11.5 million annually. DSA regulations and producer compliance have allowed for early disease detection when a periodic transmission from wildlife to livestock does occur. This success promotes trading partner confidence in the disease-free status of Montana’s livestock.
CWD check stations open on Hi-Line in Montana
Deer, elk and moose hunters need to remember the chronic wasting disease check stations on the Hi-Line and the meaning of the transportation restriction zone in northern Liberty County. Fish, Wildlife and Parks Region 4 has CWD check stations set up in Chester and just north of Shelby on Interstate 15. Additional CWD check stations are being run in Region 6, as well as in Regions 2,3 and 5. All hunters are required to stop at all check stations. Because a CWD positive deer was taken in last fall north of Chester, any member of the deer family – which include mule and white-tailed deer, elk and moose – taken this year in Liberty County north of U.S. Highway 2 must have the head and spinal
column removed before it can be taken out of Liberty, Hill and Toole counties. Generally, FWP Region 4 check station workers report good compliance from hunters in the area. CWD is a progressive, fatal neurological disease that effects deer, elk and moose. The disease has not been shown to spread to people, pets, livestock or wildlife outside of the deer family. However, the World Health Organization and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommend not consuming meat from an animal known to be infected with CWD. The CDC also recommends that hunters have deer tested if they were harvested in areas where CWD is known to be present.

Researchers work to stay ahead of African Swine Fever virus
By K-State Research and Extension News Kansas State University researchers have a head start on preventing the spread of a devastating disease of pigs through the food they eat. And it’s a good thing. That’s because they say that if African Swine Fever were ever to reach the United States, it could cause losses in the U.S. pork industry that could exceed $4 billion. “African Swine Fever virus is a terrible disease that affects only swine,” said Cassie Jones, a swine nutritionist with K-State Research and Extension. “The good news of it is that it is not zoonotic so consumers don’t have to be concerned because it is not something that would impact pork safety.” But pork producers are on heightened alert for the disease, which is crippling the pork industry in China and parts of Eastern Europe, and new cases were also confirmed recently in Belgium. The disease causes hemorrhages in the skin and internal organs of pigs. There are no vaccines or treatments available for the disease, so it causes nearly 100 percent mortality. In areas of China and other countries where it has been discovered, officials have had to cull all pigs within approximately a three-mile radius in attempts to prevent its spread. “It’s a disease that is not present in the U.S. yet, but that sometimes gives us a false sense of security,” said Jason Woodworth, K-State Research and Extension swine nutritionist. “Because of how much travel we have going back and forth from China and other infected countries, and because of a number of ingredients we use in our diets from infected countries, there is a heightened risk now that we will transfer something into the United States.” Jones notes that China produces nearly half of the global pig population. “African Swine Fever is considered a reportable disease, which means it is reportable to the World Health Organization,” Jones said. “Doing so would likely shut down all trade and exports of pork until we can assure our exporting countries or trade partners that our domestic pig supply is safe.” In 2014, another disease – porcine epidemic diarrheal virus, or PEDv – caused huge losses in the pork industry. It was at that time that K-State researchers discovered that feed and feed ingredients could be a vector for the disease to spread among pigs. K-State’s work led to enhanced biosecurity measures to help the U.S. pork industry reduce the risk. Now, that work may help to fend off the threat from the African Swine Fever virus. “One of the things we’re most concerned about is that some ingredients are likely to get contaminated based upon common drying practices that would occur within countries,” Jones said. “Many of the countries that have this virus circulating will use the roadways for both drying and threshing mechanisms. Then, they collect the grains and transport those internationally.” K-State’s current recommendations on biosecurity practices for swine feed are available on the website, KSUswine. org (select ‘Feed Safety Resources’). The site includes questions that farmers should be asking a feed supplier, and a review of biosecurity strategies on the farm. “The thing we have to do is get educated,” Woodworth said. “One of the big keys is biosecurity, and that’s something that helped us (when PEDv was present). Keeping a heightened level of biosecurity presence, which will help prevent African Swine Fever and other viruses or pathogens, will be beneficial.” K-State researchers currently are studying the African Swine Fever virus in collaboration with Megan Niederwerder, Steve Dritz, and Bob Rowland at the university’s Biosecurity Research Institute, a bio-safety level 3 facility. They will give a research update and talk more about how producers can protect their farms during the annual K-State Swine Day, which is scheduled for Thursday, November 15. More information about this year’s Swine Day is available online at http://www.asi.k-state.edu/events/swine-day/ index.html ##### Instead of spraying your shower down every time you use it, try this solution for keeping your shower mildew- and grime-free. Apply a thin layer of car wax to a completely clean shower, then buff with a dry cloth. Your cleaning job will be much easier, and you’ll only have to reapply the wax once a year. You can also perform this trick in your refrigerator to keep food stains at bay.

Whereas humans have self-adjusting eye lenses, horses must move their heads to adjust their lenses. To see far away, a horse will raise its head (for example, when approaching a jump). To see close in front, a horse will lower its head and bring in its nose (when walking over a log, for instance).
Horse crosses
A female horse crossed with a male donkey (jack) = a mule (usually sterile). A male horse crossed with a female donkey (jenny) = a hinny (usually sterile). A horse crossed with a zebra = a zorse. A donkey crossed with a zebra = a zedonk or zonkey. So, what is a burro? It is a donkey in the wild.
Double pay
Credit card interest is calculated based on your average daily balance over the month, which means you can reduce your charges by making more payments. Instead of paying, say, $300 at the end of the month, split that up into two $150 payments. That way, your average daily balance will be lower, and therefore your finance charges will be, too.
Racing colors
Colorful jackets called silks are worn by jockeys to help distinguish horses from each other and improve the likelihood of settling racing disputes. This tradition was started by the English Jockey Club in 1762. Today, owners must register their colors and patterns with the Jockey Club in their region. Ancient Roman charioteers wore headbands and capes in bright colors for identification–possibly the first time racing colors were used.

doesn’t occur. Below are recommendations to reduce the risk of infestation by stored grain insect pests. Sanitation The first step to prevent stored grain pests is to have a sanitation plan in place for each storage facility. It is estimated that sanitation accounts for approximately 80% of an effective stored grain insect pest prevention program. This is in part due to the fact that the purpose of sanitation is to remove any pests (insects or rodents) that may currently be present in a bin and also remove any potential sources of food or attractants for potential pests. While cleaning the bin, it should also be inspected to ensure that it is weatherproof and also that there aren’t any areas where pests could easily enter. The steps for sanitation of a bin are below. 1. Inspect the roof for any leaks and repair if present. 2. Inspect the bin for any cracks, holes or gaps and seal if present. 3. Remove any old grain from the bin. New grain should never be stored on top of old grain. 4. Clean the walls and floor of the bin to remove any grain, dust or debris by sweeping or vacuuming. 5. Clean any old grain spills from around the bin. These spills can attract pests to the bin. 6. Clear a perimeter of 10 feet around the bin of any vegetation or debris. 7. Clean all grain handling equipment prior to harvest. This includes augers, wagons, grain carts, trucks, combines, grain cleaners and aeration fans. 8. Seal the bin door once the bin has been filled with grain. Pre-binning Insecticide Treatment After bin sanitation has occurred a pre-binning insecticide can be applied to the walls and floors of the bin 2-3 weeks prior to harvest. These insecticides provide a residual and can further reduce the risk of infestation. Pre-binning insecticide applications are most effective when air temperatures are above 60 °F due to increased insect activity. The outside walls and base of the bin may also be treated with an insecticide that clearly states it is for perimeter treatments. Table 1 contains a list of a few common pre-binning insecticides. *Always read and follow the label instructions and wear personal protective equipment to prevent injury. This list is not meant to be comprehensive.
Is a miniature a pony?
Miniature Horses are not called ponies, even though they can be extremely small–usually under 34 inches tall. Miniature Horses are bred to have horse-like features not traditional pony features. Controversy exists over the existence of dwarfism genes in the genetic pool of some breeding programs. Dwarf characteristics (disproportionately large heads and short legs) are considered a fault among most breeders of Miniature Horses.
The Andalusian
The modern Andalusian is probably one of the oldest breeds or strains in the world. It represents almost exactly the type of horse depicted in Iberian prehistoric cave art. Babieca, the mount of Spain’s hero, El Cid, was an Andalusian. The luxuriant, often wavy, mane and trail of the Andalusian are a feature of the breed and much prized. Manes and tails sweeping the ground are not unknown. ##### Temperatures range from 10ºF to 96ºF throughout the state of South Dakota.

Driving with distractions can be a recipe for disaster
By Julie Garden-Robinson, Food and Nutrition Specialist, NDSU Extension I noticed a vehicle in front of me crossing the center line, then swerving toward the shoulder of the road. The vehicle moved back into position when it crossed the “rumble strip.” The vehicle sped up, then slowed down to far below the speed limit. I looked around for a patrol car because this driver seemed to be impaired. Maybe the driver was falling asleep. I decided I wanted to get around this vehicle as soon as it was moving in a consistent straight line. As I pulled around the vehicle, I could see the telltale glow of a cellphone screen. The driver glanced at me as he took a bite out of a big sandwich. This guy was awake but was distracted by his multitasking. Did he know that texting while driving is illegal in most states and carries a significant fine? He also was endangering himself and other drivers around him. Distracted driving was linked to 3,450 deaths in 2016 in the U.S. In 2015, 391,000 injuries were linked to distracted drivers. I have spent quite a bit of time driving to meetings and workshops in my career. Through the years, I have seen people reading articles on hand-held devices, applying makeup and doing their hair, and people disappearing from view as they reach down for items that fell on the floor. I’ve also observed people eating plates of food with a fork while driving. As you can see, I sometimes find the behavior of other drivers distracting. I definitely am not a risk-taker when I’m in the driver’s seat. I still hear the wise words of my dad: “Remember, you have to drive for the other guy.” Perhaps a parent or grandparent said that to you, too. Researchers have classified driving distractions into three main areas: cognitive, visual and manual. Cognitive distraction refers to using your brain for something other than focusing on the task of driving. Most of us “talk and drive” when we have passengers in the vehicle, but that practice is less dangerous than holding a phone and talking into it. Being tired can affect your ability to make quick decisions. In fact, researchers reported that 4 percent of 150,000 surveyed drivers had fallen asleep in the previous 30 days. Being visually distracted means, you are taking your eyes off the road. Maybe the radio station suddenly became full of static and you are looking at and twisting the dial or punching buttons, trying to find another station. Maybe you are trying to retrieve a piece of candy that fell out of a package onto the floor. Perhaps you decide to change the destination on your GPS. If you need to use a GPS, then set your destinations before you go on your trip. Or engage a “co-pilot” (passenger) to be the navigator. Finally, we have manual distractions, which are things done with your hands. Do you take one or both hands off the steering wheel to look for something in your backpack or a bag? Drinking soda or coffee and eating food would be considered manual distractions. Texting while driving is distracting on all three levels: visually, manually and cognitively. The U.S. Department of Transportation has these suggestions for avoiding distractions: • Turn off electronic devices and put them out of reach before starting to drive. • Be good role models for young drivers and set a good example. Talk with teens about responsible driving. • Speak up when you are a passenger and your driver uses an electronic device while driving. Offer to make the call for the driver so the person’s full attention stays on the driving task. • Always wear your seat belt. Seat belts are the best defense against unsafe drivers. • See your state laws related to these factors. In North Dakota, see https://www.dmv.com/nd/north-dakota/distracteddriving-laws. If you are looking for a healthful beverage, here’s a graband-go smoothie. Adding a drinking straw will help you keep your eyes on the road if you decide to take an occasional sip.

Researchers find a sweet spot for preserving bacon
By K-State Research and Extension News Kansas State University researchers are sweet on a recent study in which they found that naturally smoked sugar helps to extend the shelf life of frozen bacon. They tested bacon that had been frozen for up to 120 days to find out whether adding an antioxidant – in this case, smoked sugar – could slow down the rate of oxidation, a natural process that leads to discoloring and an off-flavor to the meat. The answer is clearly yes. “There’s no doubt in my mind that if we’re going to have cured and cooked products that are frozen, such as ham or bacon or any of those types of products, we do need to have an antioxidant to help combat oxidation,” said K-State Research and Extension meat specialist Terry Houser. Many consumers are familiar with meat that develops a grayish color and off-flavor when stored for too long in the freezer. This same thing happens to frozen bacon and other pork products after about 20-40 days, Houser said. That’s a challenge for hotels, restaurants and other food service businesses, which often don’t receive bacon, in particular, until it’s already been packaged for 30-40 days. “This also has implications for our small processors who freeze their bacon and sell it frozen,” Houser said. “It does not seem, unless we use a vacuum package, that we can get flavor shelf life much longer than 40 days on frozen bacon.” But, he added, “when we added an antioxidant to these bacon formulations, it really extended our shelf life over the frozen storage period. In this case, we tested these products out to 120 days of frozen storage.” Smoking meat – done by exposing it to smoke from burning sawdust, chips or other hardwood – has been known to help preserve many types of meat and give a certain flavor that is often sought by consumers. What the smoking process does, says Houser, is deter the oxidation process, so the researchers looked to encourage that same process by using a commercially available smoked sugar and then adding it to bacon during the curing process. K-State researchers injected smoked sugar into raw bellies during the curing process, packaged and froze them for a period of up to 120 days, and then used scientific methods and trained taste panels to verify the quality of the meat. “All three of those tests gave us the same answer, and that’s always good in science,” Houser said. “We don’t usually like to rely on one testing method. When we can get all three of them to tell us the same answer, then we’re pretty confident in those results.” Houser added that one benefit of adding an antioxidant such as smoked sugar to the formulation is that it penetrates deeper than smoking the product itself. “When we smoke the entire belly, we only get a surface treatment on those products,” he said. “So, whenever we can add an ingredient into that particular product such as the belly, we can get a lot more uniformity in terms of our ingredient contact with most of the fats in that product.” Ultimately, it means better bacon more of the time for consumers, Houser said. “When the quality of our products is better, everyone wins, and we definitely want consumers to have good eating experiences so that they are going to come back and buy more of that product,” he said. Houser said smoked sugar adds another flavor profile that he suspects also will be pleasing to consumers. He noted that many compounds can be used as antioxidants, but K-State’s study was specific to smoked sugar.

Undergraduate and graduate teams take first place honors
By K-State Research and Extension News The Kansas State University weed science teams recently had a successful showing, placing first in numerous categories at the regional North Central Weed Science Society/ Western Society of Weed Science Collegiate Contest on July 26. The event was co-hosted by the University of NebraskaLincoln, North Platte and Monsanto Co., at the Water Utilization Learning Center near Gothenburg, Nebraska. K-State competed with two undergraduate teams and one graduate team. All team members are agronomy majors. One of the undergraduate teams took first place among all undergraduate teams competing in the contest. Members of that team and their hometowns included: Keren Duerksen, Newton; Trent Frye, Belleville; Sarah Zerger, Cheney; and Peter Bergkamp, Cheney. Sarah Zerger placed first overall undergraduate score, farmer problem solving and identification of herbicide symptomology. Keren Duerksen placed second overall undergraduate score and first in weed identification. This team also placed first in the Undergraduate Team Field Sprayer Calibration event. The other undergraduate team placed third among all undergraduate teams and members were Kaylin Fink, Chapman; Oakley Kauffman, Cheney; Dakota Came, Salina; and Hayden Heigele, Longford. K-State also had the first place graduate team among teams competing in the Western division of the contest, with the following members: Tyler Meyeres, Vilas, Colorado; Lindsey Gastler, Martinsburg, Missouri; Larry ‘Joey’ Rains, Lone Jack, Missouri; and Luke Chism, Beloit. Chandrima Shyam, Durgapur, India, participated as an individual. Meyeres placed first overall graduate score and Rains placed third overall graduate score. Individual event winners were Lindsey Gastler, weed identification, and Joey Rains, farmer problem solving event. This team also placed first in Graduate Team Field Sprayer Calibration event. K-State weed science team coaches were Anita Dille, Kevin Donnelly, and Dallas Peterson. The contest consists of four events: weed identification, farmer problem solving, written calibration problems and team field sprayer calibration, and identification of herbicide symptomology. Eighty-two students competed from 11 universities across the north central and western regions.
Care Giver Appreciation Day
Date When Celebrated: November 13 This is a very important day of recognition for the tens of millions of Americans who selflessly give their time to care for those who are ill, disabled, or elderly. Many individuals and organizations have declared a care giver recognition day on many different dates. The most common of them are November 13, and March 3. We give the nod to November 13, as November is National Caregiver Appreciation Month. This day of recognition is for both paid and unpaid care givers. We believe unpaid care givers, deserve even more special recognition. They silently go about the task of supporting someone in need, most often a family member. They give their time freely, and often spend their own money in doing so. It can be a thankless task..... without even a thanks from the person being cared for or other relatives who find countless reasons not to help. Some interesting statistics: • 29% of the U.S. population, some 65 million Americans are care givers in some way. • According to the U.S. Department of Labor, over 40 million Americans, age 15 or older, provide unpaid care to the elderly alone. How to Celebrate Caregiver Appreciation Day: Most care givers, especially unpaid care givers, do not seek or expect any form of recognition. They do what they do, simply because it needs to be done, and it is the right thing to do. • Give a simple thank you to everyone you know who is a caregiver in any capacity. • Send a thank you card by mail or email. • Give them a day off. Take over the role of caring. • If you are an organization, make up recognition certificates to care givers.

Date When Celebrated: Always November 28th The planet Mars is referred to as the “Red Planet” because it appears red in color. Red Planet Day honors our celestial neighbor, the fourth planet in the solar system. Is Mars truly red in color? Scientists debated this question, even after the Mars Rovers landed and began to explore the planet. Why? Because the lenses used to take photos are tinted. On Red Planet Day, take a few minutes to look upwards into the sky, and gaze at our neighbor. Hopefully, you will have a cloudless night sky for viewing. You can also recognize this day by reading up about Mars, and viewing pictures of it. There are plenty of pictures online. We’ve noted some of those sites below in the “More Information”section. Red Planet Day commemorates the launch of the Spacecraft Mariner 4 on November 28,1964. The 228 day mission of Mariner 4 brought the spacecraft within 6,118 miles of Mars on July 14, 1965. Mars Facts and Trivia: • Fourth Planet from the Sun • Mars gets it’s name from the Greek word “Ares”, the God of War • Often visible to the naked eye • Distance from the Sun: average 136,764,000 miles • Rotation around the Sun: 687 days • Rotation period: 1.026 Earth days • Gravity: 1/3 of Earth • Size: 7th largest planet, about 1/10th the mass of Earth • Moons: Mars has two moons. Deimos and Phobos. • Temperature range(F): -207 to +81 degrees

formance and carcass merit (Janz et al., 2007; Yan et al., 2010). Feed intake increases from 9 to 12 percent with dietary supplementation of essential oils according to a review of European essential oil use of Franz et al., (2010). Furthermore, Zeng et al., (2015b) reported the same impact on feed intake; ranging from 3 to 19 percent in their review of essential oil use in Europe. While most research has found that adding essential oils to grow finisher diets increases feed intake, interestingly Janz et al., (2007) and Yan et al., (2010) failed to observe any improvement in performance generated by essential oil blends in finisher pigs in the United States. Yan and others (2010) noted that for 96 grow finish pigs starting around 24 kg to market, essential oil diets increased the longissimus muscle area. Janz and others (2007) concluded that carcass and meat quality attributes were unchanged when comparing oregano essential oil diets to conventional diets in 64 finisher pigs. There are concerns if the concentration of the essential oils within the diet could alter the flavor of the final pork product, which is

now being studied. It was also noted in the same study that sensory panelists were unable to detect a flavor or aroma differences between the conventional-fed and essential oil diets (Janz et al., 2007). Cost Yang et al. (2015) and others have noted that the cost effectiveness of essential oils is generally not achieved in pigs when products are used at concentrations required to affect health or performance. As interest in alternatives for in-feed antibiotics in pig production grows, however, and more research and information becomes available regarding the most effective products and dose regimens, it is reasonable to speculate that economies of scale in their production and formulation will be achievable, leading to wider use of essential oils in pork production. Conclusion Essential oils may become useful alternatives to feed-grade antibiotics. They are being studied for their health and performance benefits for swine in all phases of production. To this point, however, none of the essential oils tested in pigs has provided the same level of consistent positive benefits in disease prevention or performance that is achievable using antibiotics. Knowledge around how these molecules lead to improvements in gut health and growth parameters in pigs is emerging from research underway on a global basis, but especially in the E.U. and Asia. However, expanded use of essential oils in pork production will likely depend on more research focused on cost of production, formulation, and effective dosing/presentation.

##### The world’s first gas station opened in 1907 at Western Ave. and Holgate St. in Seattle, WA. ##### Many insects prepare for winter by creating their own “antifreeze.” During the fall, insects produce more glycerol, which gives their body a “super-cooling ability” by allowing bodily fluids to drop below freezing without causing ice damage. Glycerol also lowers the freezing point, which makes insects more cold tolerant and protects their tissue and cells from ice damage. Their glycerol levels drop again during the spring. ##### A man walks into a library and orders a hamburger.

Helmets: Every horse, every ride
Sixty percent of all riding accidents leading to death are due to head injuries. The best of horses can trip and unexpectedly fall to the ground with a rider. A fall on a horse that is standing still or walking can be just as dangerous as when the horse is moving. Jumping, breaking young horses, speed events, and so on have an even higher risk of accidents. Most trainers require students under the age of 18 to wear a helmet, even though the dangers can be just as great for adults (many of whom would rather not mess up their hair). Bike helmets and skateboard helmets do not provide adequate protection. All helmets should be made specifically for horses and should have a label that says they are approved by a recognized standards organization. Helmets come in a variety of fun colors and patterns that encourage their use. It is estimated that headrelated injuries have decreased by 50 percent in the U.S. since certified helmets have been used.

Veterans Day
Date When Observed: November 11th Veterans’s Day honors all members of the Armed Forces who have served this country valiantly, and in a very big way. They served and fought to protect us, to keep our country safe, and to preserve our way of life. Veterans gave their time, and risked their lives for you and me. In some cases, they made the ultimate sacrifice. This holiday originally was called Armi-
stice Day and was first celebrated in 1921. In 1954, President Eisenhower changed it to Veteran’s Day, in honor of those who served and died from all wars. On November 11 at 11:11, 1921 the U.S. France and England each buried an unknown soldier in honor of those who died in World War I. This began the annual Armistice Day holiday. The time and day was picked because fighting ceased in WWI in 1918 on November 11 at 11:11. In keeping with this tradition, work stops on this day and time each year for a moment of silence.

Good for the world, good for Kansas
By K-State Research and Extension News Farmers in Kansas and across the United States stand to benefit as a result of an announcement by the U.S. Agency for Choteau, MT International Development that it has awarded $21.9 million Phone 406-466-2955 or EZ Spot UR Call for more to continue work to end global hunger and poverty through 406-590-5447 (cell) 79” clam bucket...........$1600 info..........................$3500 three Kansas State University programs. During the annual Kansas Governor’s Summit on Agricultural Growth in Manhattan, USAID said it is awarding $14 million over five years for the Feed the Future Innovation Lab New Besler for Collaborative Research on Sorghum and Millet (SMIL); $3 million over three years for the Feed the Future Innovation Bale Beds Lab for the Reduction of Post-Harvest Loss (PHL); and $4.9 In Stock million over five years to the Feed the Future Innovation Lab with or without for Applied Wheat Genomics. Tree Ax 80” wide with new EXTENDABLE All three of those programs were established at K-State in ARMS cutters in the box.....$3500 2013. The new awards represent an extension of work the labs have been doing the past five years. “These university programs, the innovation labs, are part of our implementation of Title XII of the Foreign Assistance Act, which mandates that these university programs provide dual benefits to both the U.S. and our developing country partners,” said Jennifer ‘Vern’ Long, the acting director for the office of agriculture, research and policy in USAID’s Bureau for Food Security. “So, it’s our intention from the outset to ensure that the focus of the research is not only to achieve our development goals of ending hunger and reducing poverty (globally), but also to ensure that we are delivering benefits to the U.S. as well.” U.S. researchers proved this point with work done to provide resistance to the greenbug aphid in the 1980s. The pest infested U.S. sorghum fields, causing widespread losses, but research abroad allowed scientists to quickly implement host plant resistance, saving an estimated $389 million for U.S. producers – equivalent to $750 million in 2015 dollars. K-State researchers also were directly involved in international efforts to develop wheat varieties that are resilient to heat and drought, as well as developing mitigation strategies to prevent the spread of aflatoxin in corn – a problem that could cost U.S. corn producers $1.67 billion in losses in bad years. “We have a good track record through the innovation labs as a whole of safeguarding U.S. agriculture,” said Jagger Harvey, director of the PHL. “Sometimes these are problems here in Kansas and the U.S., but it’s an issue season in and season out in the countries we’re working in,” Harvey said. “By working on the front lines, helping to give them a safer food supply so they can be healthier and really contribute to thriving economies, we can bring that back here to the U.S.” Ernie Minton, the interim dean and director of the College of Agriculture and K-State Research and Extension, said that what the university’s innovation labs do is “important work.” To discover how one or both of these systems can benefit you, “It’s everything from the return of important germplasm to call us today at (406) 492-8229 stimulating markets in under-developed countries,” Minton said. “I understand one of the measurable impacts has been an increase in exports to those countries. That’s one of those situations where all boats rise when we’re successful here at K-State.” K-State has a fourth program, the Feed the Future Innovation Lab for Collaborative Research on Sustainable Intensification, which will be considered for renewal by As we count our many blessings, USAID in 2019. we are thankful for all you do. You “All of these efforts lead make us who we are. We wish you back to the basic princiand your family a holiday filled with pal that U.S. universities happiness, gratitude and laughter. serve their local communities in their home states and Happy Thanksgiving! smallholder farmers halfway across the world,” Long said during last week’s announcement. “We think this model, where U.S. universities like Kansas State work closely with local constituencies to ensure that the work is 2322 River Drive North, relevant, is a model worth DEALER LOGO sharing.” Great Falls, MT Address | Phone Number | Website Learn more about USAID suggested font: Arial (406) 761-8195 valleyirrigation.com and the Feed the Future inimontanavalleyirrigation.com CA1122 tiative at www.usaid.gov.

Financial assistance through the FSA program allowed the Schlenkers to make repairs after extensive flooding damaged their irrigation canals.
Restoring a farm for future generations By Grant Stumbough, Wyoming FSA Public Affairs & Outreach Specialist
Bill Schlenker’s family has been farming in Meeteetse, Wyoming, since the 1800s. Bill and his family are carrying on the family legacy, successfully farming the arid and productive land. Irrigation and Innovation In 1893, the Schlenker family filed for water rights on the Greybull River and are considered one of the pioneers of crop irrigation in the country. More than a century later, Bill runs the farm with his wife, Jennie, son, Richard, and brother, Neil. “I love to farm, and I deeply care about the land. I have wanted to be a farmer since I was a small boy,” Bill said. “I like to watch my crops grow with my son standing by my side. Every year, we want to grow a better crop than the year before.” The Schlenkers grow sugar beets, dry beans, corn, malting barley, wheat, and alfalfa. According to Bill, it’s essential to their operation to irrigate the crops during the growing season, as the area only receives around 14 inches of annual precipitation. “Over the years, we have worked with various agencies and organizations to build wildlife friendly reservoirs, diversions, head-gates, and extensive canal systems to capture and utilize water from the Greybull River to make our farming operations productive and successful,” he said. Snowpack and Spring Rains During the first week of July 2017, runoff from mountain snowpack combined with heavy spring rains caused extensive flooding in the area. “The reservoirs were full, and the flood
water had nowhere to go but downstream, washing out numerous concrete diversions, ripping out head gates, tearing out culverts, and carving huge channels along the way,” Bill said. “In some places the mighty flood waters had changed the course of the Greybull River. Most of the irrigation structures were destroyed, and we knew we were in deep trouble.” The Schlenkers worked with USDA’s Farm Service Agency in Park County, Wyoming to apply for the Emergency Conservation Program, which helps farmers and ranchers repair damage to farmland caused by natural disasters. The program provided the Schlenkers with financial assistance to repair their irrigation canals and replace the washed-out head gates and culverts. Recovery and Restoration Large square rocks from the surrounding hillside were used as riprap to stabilize the canals, as well as protect the head gates from future flood damage. The repaired canals have provided an even and steady water flow, while the large rocks used to divert irrigation water have created deep pools enabling the replaced head gates to provide a constant and adjustable flow of water for reliable and efficient irrigation. “This is a permanent fix and is built to last for generations,” said Bill. The overall restoration project also provided excellent habitat for the Yellowstone cutthroat trout, which has been classified as a sensitive species by state and federal wild-
Bill’s family began farming in Meeteetse, Wyoming, in the 1800s.

life agencies. The stabilized canals have improved water quality and will be key in mitigating future flood damage. “This ECP project has educated the entire community on how to improve the design of water diversions and irrigation canals,” Bill said. “This project has protected the resource and has provided a huge public benefit. Without assistance we could have only afforded a temporary fix.” The Schlenker family has participated in several other USDA programs, including the Agriculture Risk Coverage and Price Loss Coverage Programs, Envi-
ronmental Quality Incentives Program, Agricultural Management Assistance, and Conservation Security Program.

Dr. Gadi V.P. Reddy and staff of the Montana State University Entomology/Insect Ecology Program organized a two-day biological control meeting held at Grouse Mountain Lodge, Whitefish, Montana, on October 11-12, 2018. Dr. Reddy was the 2018 Chair of the Multistate Research Project W4185, Biological Control in Pest Management Systems of Plants, which is the largest multistate project in the USA focusing on biological control of pestiferous insects and weeds. This meeting was part of a continuing annual sequence in which group members gather to discuss progress on different projects and discussing ideas. More information on the group and its annual meetings is available at the link, http:// agresearch.montana.edu/wtarc/fielddayspdf/2017TradersDispatch12.pdf Team members of the MSU Western Triangle Agricultural Research Center were Julie Orcutt, Deb Miller, Ramandeep Sandhi, Rama Gadi, Dr. Govinda Shrestha, and Dr. Anamika Sharma. They helped with conference registration and other activities. Dr. Marshall W. Johnson, University of California at Riverside, and Dr. Lynn LeBeck, Association of Natural Biocontrol Producers, have been a part of this group for many years and assisted the official members of the group in various ways. Meeting attendees were from federal agencies such as the U.S. Department of Agriculture Agricultural Research Service (USDA-ARS), U.S. Forest Service (USFS), and state universities and departments. Some participants were from the land grant universities of Hawaii, Guam, California, Florida, Idaho, Montana, Oregon, New Mexico, Wyoming, Utah, and Colorado. There were international attendees from France, Switzerland, Italy and Canada. Additional information about the speakers in this meeting and details about their talks is available at the link, http:// agresearch.montana.edu/wtarc/fielddayspdf/2018W4185Meeting.pdf. Montana State University and the California-based company Oro-Agri sponsored lunch/dinners and beverages for the participants. Marliss and Dan Picard from Conrad generously volunteered to accompany attendees’ families on sightseeing trips around Whitefish and Glacier National Park. At the group dinner, local naturalist Pat Hagan presented a highly informative and interesting talk with ‘Grizzly details’ about this grizzly country. Overall, there were 35 presentations with six from agencies highlighting the status of biological control around the world.
Sixteen presentations were on insect biocontrol, 12 were related to weed biocontrol and remaining talks were from agencies. A summary and key notes from each speaker are mentioned below. Dr. Reddy opened the conference by welcoming the group to Montana and providing a few announcements regarding the meeting and scheduled talks. He presented details about the 2019 Excellence in Multistate Research Award and Leadership Award. This information was for group members who plan to apply for these awards. Updates regarding the new Federal Farm Bill indicated that Cornerstone Government Affairs is unable to predict whether or not the new Farm Bill will be passed before the current continuing resolution expires in December. The political landscape is uncertain and the major issues keeping the Farm Bill from being passed are: Commodities, Reorganization of conservation programs, NutritionSupplemental Nutrition Assistance Program Education (SNAP-ED) controversy on limiting eligibility and Crop Insurance. The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) is working on their transition plan for movement of all staff including NIFA and Economic Research Service (ERS) out of their DC headquarters. The expectation is that NIFA and ERS will identify their new location by January 2019 and begin their move so as to be open for business in the new facility in Summer 2019 and completely moved by December 2019. However, all NIFA business is expected to continue uninterrupted. There is a NIFA Process Team in place making sure that NIFA meets its mission even with decreased staffing. They are focusing on competitive grants and expect that capacity grants will be largely unaffected. Dr. Tom Shanower is stepping down and Dr. Scott Angle will be on board as NIFA Director by end of October. Listening Sessions were held on Oct 11 (Hartford Connecticut), Oct 18 (New Orleans) and a further meeting has been scheduled on Oct 25 (Minneapolis). Dr. Robert M. Nowierski, National Program Leader at USDA-NIFA, updated the status of classical biological control of weeds while Dr. Robert S. Pfannenstiel, USDA-APHIS-PPQ, updated information on environmental compliance for new biological control agents. Similarly, Dr. Lincoln Smith, USDA-EBCL in France, provided an update on biological control work at their center. Dr. Francesca Marini from BBCA, Italy, gave an overall talk CONTINUED ON PAGE C22

Happy Thanksgiving & Thank you
For making our year a success. We really appreciate your patronage and we’re looking forward to assisting you with your fall & spring seeding needs! Heather, Mike, Bob, Joel & Joe
It’s not too early to think about your spring seed needs
By University of Nebraska-Lincoln New research conducted by the University of Nebraska– Lincoln’s (UNL) James Schnable will use corn to test the idea that the emergence of specialized body parts occurs through whole genome duplication. A gene consists of enough DNA to code one protein, and a genome is the sum total of an organism’s DNA. Schnable, an assistant professor in the Department of Agronomy and Horticulture and Center for Plant Science Innovation, has earned a 2-year, $299,801 grant from the National Science Foundation for a project to prove that certain genes are not available for individual duplication, and can only be replicated through whole genome duplication. “Transcription factors are genes which control when other genes are turned off and on. Because cells are very sensitive to quantities of these transcription factors present, duplicating a single transcription factor gene can throw things out of balance, usually with negative consequences for the plant or animal in question. In a whole genome duplication all the transcription factors and all the genes they regulate are duplicated at the same time which avoids many of the problems caused by single gene duplication.” In both plants and animals, the emergence of new specialized body parts, such as floral organs in plants or the multiple specialized types of teeth found in heterodont animals, is a rare process. Generally, these specialized organs appear to originate as specialized versions of existing organs, yet their specialization requires a separation in regulation between different copies of the same organ. The research could explain why the emergence of new, specialized body parts is so rare. Most apparent links between whole genome duplication and an increase in separately defined body parts, such as the 4-footed animal or flowering plants, occurred hundreds of millions of years ago. Schnable’s team has focused this research on corn, as it produces two specialized flower heads for male and female reproduction, while all other related plants only produce a single kind of head. Researchers will test the link between a whole genome duplication in the corn lineage and the evolution of its distinct flowering heads. Reverse genetic techniques will be applied to both corn and sorghum, which lacks two flower heads, to prove that this emergence required whole genome duplication, which created duplicate copies of many genes which rarely duplicate through other processes. “We could potentially predict when the emergence of new specialized body parts is more likely and provide initial insights into how specialized body parts could be engineered in future synthetic biology efforts,” Schnable said. Research in this area also has the potential to guide the development of new engineered varieties of crop plants with multiple specialized leaf types. Engineering leaves high in the canopy to have fewer chloroplasts, would allow light to penetrate deeper leaves where lower wind speeds and higher humidity reduce the transpirational water cost of photosynthesis. The research project will provide valuable training on conducting science at the intersection of genomics, genetics and phenomics to multiple graduate and undergraduate students.

Valuable information shared CONTINUED FROM PAGE C20
about their research work at BBCA. Dr. Hariet L. Hinz from CABI (Switzerland) updated the group on activities at CABI around the world. Some group members provided talks on insect biological control of insect pests on cereal, oilseeds, forage and fruit crops. In addition, there were interesting talks on biological control of important weeds such as saltcedar, French broom, Dyers woad, toadflax, tamarisk, Rush Skeleton, Leafy Spurge, Hoary Cress, and Russian olive. Dr. Dan Bean, Colorado Department of Agriculture, gave an important talk on rust fungus as a potential biological control agent for controlling Canada thistle. On biological control of insect pests, several talks were included in this meeting. Insect pests included in these talks were wireworms, Asian citrus psyllid, Emerald ash borer, Colorado potato beetle, wheat midge, pea leaf weevil, and flea beetles. The mutual information on various biological control agents was shared and discussed. The meeting provided an avenue to update all members about the present status of various W4185 biocontrol programs and proved to be a highly productive meeting. At the end, during the business meeting, the group selected Dr. Stephen Novak, Boise State University, as “Member at Large” for 2018. He will serve as W4185 Chair in 2021.
Reining in soil’s nitrogen chemistry
By Kaine Korzekwa, American Society of Agronomy Take a trip down into the soil beneath a field of crops. You won’t find just dirt, water, and creepy-crawlies. You’ll also find reactions that remind you of high school chemistry lab. Many researchers study the reactions of elements and compounds in the soil, especially because some, like nitrogen, are required by plants to grow. Nitrogen is often added to the soil as a fertilizer. However, not all nitrogen added is usable by plants. The compound urea is currently the most popular nitrogen soil fertilizer. It’s a way to get plants the nitrogen they need to grow. Although the nitrogen in urea is not directly usable by plants, once urea is in the soil it undergoes a chemical reaction that produces ammonium, a nitrogen-rich compound that thus becomes available for plant nutrition. The catalyst responsible for this reaction is an enzyme called urease. This enzyme is produced by microorganisms in the soil. There’s just one problem with urease: it works too well! “The reactions that urea undergoes are much too fast, because of the action of urease,” says Stefano Ciurli. Ciurli is a professor of chemistry at the Department of Pharmacy and Biotechnology of the University of Bologna, Italy. “Urease accelerates the formation of nitrogen-containing compounds that quickly dissipate into the environment instead of being absorbed by plants.” Controlling how fast the urease accelerates the process is important to help plants get as much nitrogen as possible. This is usually done by modifying the urea fertilizer to decrease urease activity. Ciurli and his team study these techniques. They looked to prove if coating the urea fertilizer granules with a specific compound—maleic-itaconic polymers (MIPs)—would help with this. Previous studies had argued that it didn’t have an effect. What they found was that, at some levels of soil acidity, their compound was good at slowing down urease. They found that their compound compared well to another used for this purpose, N-(n-butyl)-thiophosphoric triamide (NBPT). However, this second compound has been shown to have some negative effects on crops in addition to being incorporated in plants and soil organisms. The research results suggest farmers may have a choice, depending on their soil’s acidity. “For farmers who already use the compound we tested, this study tells them why the chemical is effective,” Ciurli says. “Those that have been discouraged from using it because they didn’t think it worked can now explore the benefits of it compared to other chemicals available in the market.” What prevents the plants from being able to take up the urea in the first place? What makes a nutrient unavailable to the plant? “Plants can only absorb nutrients through their roots if the chemical is soluble in the water contained in soil,” Ciurli explains. “Plants don’t have teeth to chew on soil; they only have roots that can almost passively absorb what ‘comes by’ them.” In the soil, there can be many forms of nitrogen. Some are gases and are easily lost into the air. Others in the soil can be “sticky” or not sticky. Those that are not sticky, such as nitrates, are easily taken up by plants but also easily washed away from the soil into rivers and lakes. Their abundance there can lead to algal blooms and dead zones. Ciurli says one of the next steps in their research is carrying out similar studies in the soil, as this study was done in the laboratory. The work has implications for plants as well as Ciurli’s other passion, pharmaceuticals for metal-based biological targets. “The knowledge of how urease works, at the molecular/ atomic level, is a first step to develop urease inhibitors for both agricultural application and also for medical issues,” he says. “Urease is the key virulence factor for a series of microorganisms that cause antibiotic resistance, cancer, tuberculosis, plague, and brain diseases. Knowing the chemistry of this enzyme will contribute to the battle of the human race for its survival on this planet.” Read more about this research in the Soil Science Society of America Journal (https://dl.sciencesocieties.org/publications/sssaj/abstracts/0/0/sssaj2017.09.0323). ##### Use baking soda in place of many toxic and irritating cleaners.

By NDSU Extension Service The number of weeds North Dakota land managers need to identify properly and control is growing. To help them, North Dakota State University (NDSU) weed sciences professor Rod Lym has updated two publications: “Identification and Control of Invasive and Troublesome Weeds in North Dakota” and the pocket-sized “A Guide to North Dakota Noxious and Troublesome Weeds.” He added Palmer amaranth, a particularly aggressive, hard-to-control weed, and narrowleaf hawksbeard, which has become especially troublesome in no-till cropland; cropland seeded with cereal grain, pulse and oilseed crops; hay fields; and along newly established pipelines. They are considered county-listed noxious weeds, which means individual counties require the weeds to be controlled within their borders. The revised publications also reflect that houndstongue recently was upgraded to a state-listed noxious weed. That means it must be controlled statewide. It previously was a county-listed weed. Houndstongue is one of 12 weeds on the state’s noxious weed list. It contains alkaloids that are toxic to cattle and horses. “Identification and Control of Invasive and Troublesome Weeds in North Dakota” also includes common mullein for the first time. It’s a county-listed weed that’s often found in gravelly, dry soils, as well as waste areas and bottomlands. In addition to new weeds, the publications contain updated control methods, including insects that provide biological control. “A Guide to North Dakota Noxious and Troublesome Weeds” has symbols to indicate whether a weed is on a county or the state noxious weed list, biological or chemical control is available, a weed should not be removed by hand or can be removed with a spade or shovel, livestock can graze on it safely or the weed is poisonous. Lym says these publications are a collaborative effort of NDSU and the North Dakota Department of Agriculture (NDDA). The NDDA paid for the publications’ printing, with a portion of the funding coming from the U.S. Forest Service. To obtain copies of the publications, contact your county office of NDSU Extension or county weed officer. The publications also are online at https://tinyurl.com/NDSUWeedIDControl (“Identification and Control of Invasive and Troublesome Weeds in North Dakota”) and https://tinyurl. com/NoxiousTroublesomeWeedsGuide (“A Guide to North Dakota Noxious and Troublesome Weeds”).

From Soil Science Society of America Swamps and other wetlands get a bad rap. The Soil Science Society of America (SSSA) September 15 Soils Matter blog post explains why these natural features are important— and worth saving. “Wetlands provide flood control, improve water quality, and are a vital habitat for wildlife,” says blogger Rachel K. Owen, a University of Missouri soil science doctoral candidate. However, wetlands may be thought of as inconvenient when it comes to agriculture, housing developments and other structures. Wetlands’ importance was recognized in 1986 legislation in the U.S. This allowed development of wetlands only if an equal amount of wetland was established elsewhere. How is a wetland built? Owen says it can be complicated. “This is one of those ‘Goldilocks’ situations: the wetland must hold water, but not for too long. The soil must be just right–not too sandy, or too clayey. Finally, the plants need to be the right type, or the typically soggy soils might kill them.” One successful example is the Stormwater Treatment Area (STA) wetlands in the Florida Everglades. “Because the STA wetlands were designed with all three criteria of a functional wetland in mind, they have proven to be an effective tool for flood control, nutrient management, and water quality in the Florida Everglades,” Owen says.

MSU named Peace Corps Prep Program university
Montana State University students now have access to a certificate program that promotes intercultural competence and global service. The Peace Corps has recently named MSU as a partner university with a Peace Corps Prep program. The Prep program includes a certificate for undergraduate students wishing to apply for Peace Corps volunteer positions after graduation, though it does not guarantee acceptance into the Peace Corps. MSU joins 125 universities with Peace Corps Prep programs nationwide. Established in 2007, the program aims to meet the demand for Peace Corps volunteers with a broad and relevant set of expertise and to support schools’ efforts to provide substantive, globally focused experiences for their students. “Students today are passionate about service and leaving their mark on the world,” Peace Corps Director Jody Olsen said. “Through the Peace Corps Prep program at Montana State University, students can develop skills specifically targeted to Peace Corps service and careers in the international development and service communities.” At MSU, the Prep program includes three courses and 50 hours of related volunteer work in one of the six Peace Corps program areas in education, health, environment, agriculture, youth in development and community economic development. Over the course of the certificate, students will attend guest lectures, complete an internship, participate in service projects, meet with returning Peace Corps volunteers, develop foreign language skills and engage in professional leadership development for working in non-governmental organizations. Open to all majors, the Peace Corps Prep program is housed in MSU’s College of Agriculture and managed by Tracy Dougher, College of Agriculture associate dean of academic programs. Dougher will work with students in advising service and coursework that best meets the certificate’s requirements “This program essentially gives those students who complete the certificate a leg up on Peace Corps volunteer applications after they graduate,” Dougher said. “Agriculture was a natural fit to manage the program because so much of global development is needed in the areas of food systems, food security, water and agricultural education.“ However, Dougher said, program students do not have to be MSU agriculture students as the “program is meant to work with all majors and interests” and that no matter a student’s major, the prep program will “bolster students’ service and professional resumes.” A cross-disciplinary effort by multiple academic units on campus, the program application was a joint initiative between the College of Agriculture, MSU’s Office of International Programs, the Honors College and the university’s Office of Student Engagement. Susan Welker, director of study abroad at MSU, said the prep program is a natural fit for MSU’s land-grant mission. “Any program that gives our students experience in intercultural competence or experiential learning is something that benefits the entire MSU community,” Welker said. “A big part of our mission at MSU is to develop students who have global competencies, who can leave here and be culturally proficient elsewhere, but also bring those skills to the workforce and their future careers.” Mandy St. Aubyn, assistant director of MSU’s Office of Student Engagement, said engaging students in academics and co-curricular activities around service is good training for those who are unsure of a two-year Peace Corps volunteer placement. “Peace Corps volunteering may seem big and scary to some students, but if we can break down the barriers and make the process incremental through mentoring, activities and coursework, it makes a future commitment seem less daunting,” St. Aubyn said. “Giving students opportunities to serve and volunteer also allows them to better understand that being a part of any community includes giving back.” According to the Peace Corps, since 1961, MSU has produced 487 Peace Corps volunteers, and 18 alumni are currently serving worldwide. Montana is the third-highest Peace Corps volunteer-producing state in the nation, based on the number of volunteers per 100,000 residents. In 2017, Montana produced 4.9 Peace Corps volunteers for every 100,000 residents. Patrick Hatfield, head of MSU’s Department of Animal and Range Sciences, served as an agricultural Peace Corps CONTINUED ON PAGE C27
RICA taps Ferguson for leadership position
By University of Nebraska-Lincoln Richard Ferguson has been named vice chancellor for the Rwanda Institute for Conservation Agriculture (RICA), effective January 1, 2019. Opening in July 2019, the RICA is an English language institution dedicated to educating and inspiring a new generation of innovators in agriculture in Rwanda. Establishing the Institute is a joint effort of the Government of Rwanda and the Howard G. Buffett Foundation, with the University of Nebraska–Lincoln providing leadership in curriculum development and technical advising. “I am honored to be named vice chancellor of this unique and innovative institution,” Ferguson said. “I look forward to guiding this effort to foster the next generation of agricultural leaders of Rwanda and East Africa.” As vice chancellor, Ferguson will provide direction for the institution, manage fiscal resources, recruit and select faculty and staff, lead development of research and extension programs, and oversee student recruitment. The year-round curriculum at RICA will be a three-year program leading to a Bachelor of Science in conservation agriculture. RICA students will engage in experiential, hands-on learning emphasizing conservation agriculture and One Health principles, oral and written communication, leadership, and entrepreneurship. Student recruitment will begin this month for RICA’s inaugural class, and full scholarships will be provided to 84 students drawn from across Rwanda. Ferguson, currently professor and interim head of the Agronomy and Horticulture Department, has been at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln since 1985, conducting research, delivering extension programs, and teaching in the areas of soil fertility and precision agriculture. He joined the university as an assistant professor and began serving in administration for the department as associate head in 2012. Ferguson holds a bachelor’s degree in biology/chemistry from Friends University, and master’s and doctorate degrees in agronomy from Kansas State University.

volunteer in the Philippines in from 1978 to 1980 before graduating with a bachelor’s degree from MSU. Upon returning, he managed a campus program in the former Plant and Soil Science Department, which recruited MSU students as Peace Corps volunteers. Thirty-six years later, Hatfield contributes his Peace Corps volunteer experience to creating the foundation for his career in agricultural research and education. “As a kid from Montana, not visiting – but working -- in a third-world country was eye-opening,” he said. “I was 26 years old at the time. Living as the racial minority was one of the most important experiences for me. It allowed me to develop a sense of a real purpose and passion for agriculture that only grew from my Peace Corps experience.” Since President John F. Kennedy established the Peace Corps in 1961, more than 230,000 Americans of all ages have served in 141 countries worldwide. President Kennedy created the Peace Corps to allow a global exchange of skills and ideas and the individual experiences of Americans in developing countries to contribute to healthier and safer world.

Greek Mythological horses
Arion was a speedy immortal horse that was also capable of speech. He was sired by Poseidon, the god of the sea, after Poseidon transformed himself into a stallion. Aeos, Aetheon, Pyrious, and Phlegon were horses that pulled the chariot of Helios, the sun god, across the sky. Hippocampus was a mythical seahorse that pulled the chariot of Poseidon, who was the god of horses as well as of the sea. Hippocampus was often depicted with the front half of a horse and a serpent-like tail. The Mares of Diomedes were four wild man-eating horses. One of the Twelve Labors of Hercules was to steal the mares from the giant Diomedes.

4-H’ers honored for learning, practicing healthful habits
By NDSU Extension Service Twenty-eight 4-H clubs from 13 counties were recognized for demonstrating their commitment to learning about and practicing healthful habits by being designated as a Healthy North Dakota 4-H Club for 2017-18. The 4-H clubs, with a total of 559 members, earned the special recognition for incorporating nutrition, fitness and health activities into their club meetings during the past year. Eight clubs also earned extra recognition for completing the Family Mealtime Challenge. These activities are part of North Dakota State University (NDSU) Extension’s “Eat Smart. Play Hard. Together” campaign. It emphasizes the importance of making healthful food choices, getting regular exercise and families eating together. This was the 11th year some clubs were named a Healthy North Dakota 4-H Club. This year, each club member received a certificate of recognition and a small prize. The clubs recognized this year are by county, number of members and number of years they have received the Healthy North Dakota 4-H Club recognition, and whether they completed the Family Mealtime Challenge. The challenge encouraged families to set a goal for weekly family meals.

For example, club members helped in community gardens, prepared food for events in their communities, collected food for local food pantries and/or picked up trash along community trails. Another club made pillows for individuals with Alzheimer’s disease. Some clubs created displays to showcase their club activities at the county fair or North Dakota State Fair. “I am very pleased to see the number of clubs that have made seeking this recognition an ongoing effort,” GardenRobinson adds. “The fourth ‘H’ in 4-H stands for ‘health,’ and these recognized clubs are making healthful habits part of the culture of their clubs.” Clubs are required to incorporate at least one nutrition or fitness activity into a minimum of six regular meetings during the year to be named a Healthy North Dakota 4-H Club. 4-H clubs interested in participating in the 2018-19 North Dakota Healthy 4-H Clubs program should contact their county office of NDSU Extension or visit the website at https://www.tinyurl.com/healthy4Hclub.

Pollak to coordinate integrated beef systems initiative
By University of Nebraska-Lincoln IANR News John Pollak, former director of the U.S. Meat Animal Research Center (USMARC), has been named coordination lead for the Nebraska Integrated Beef Systems Initiative at the University 600- to 1000-gallon of Nebraska. capacity The Nebraska Integrated Beef Systems Initiative was launched in 2016 in the university’s Institute of Agriculture and Natural DELIVERY AVAILABLE Resources. It is designed to leverage the many systems-based efforts underway at Nebraska to advance science-driven innovation in development of resilient systems for food animal production, health and well-being, and to train the diverse workforce required. With broad capacity across research, teaching and outreach, this initiative will take advantage of the state and university’s potential to lead the development of resilient, integrated systems for the production and delivery of nutritious, high-quality beef. “Dr. Pollak is uniquely qualified for this role given his 30 plus years of experience as an esteemed expert in disciplines 38” wide x 19” deep x 8-ft. long related to beef production, and his long history of service for beef producers,” said Archie Clutter, dean of IANR’s Agricultural Research Division. “With John’s leadership we’re confident that IN STOCK this initiative will result in far-reaching value for future beef production systems.” Pollak served as USMARC director from 2010 to 2017. He began his career as an assistant professor of animal science at the University of California, Davis. Before coming to USMARC, Phone 406-285-3281 Three Forks, MT Pollak served as a professor of animal science at Cornell University for 29 years where he and his colleagues developed methods for genetic evaluation that have become the standard for global beef cattle breeding.

have several species of wireworms (such as Limonius californicus, Aeolus mellillus and Hypnoidius bicolor). The soil dwelling behavior and vertical movement below ground during unfavorable weather conditions, make their management difficult. Imidacloprid seed treatment is the only option growers have at present. Although some entomopathogenic fungus (insect killing fungi) and predatory nematodes are being tested on wireworms and are found to be effective as biological control agents, however, more research is needed in this direction. In 2017, a study was done at Western Triangle Agricultural Research Center (WTARC) (Adhikari and Reddy 2017. Arthropod Plant Interact. 11:755-766), showed that legumes (peas, and lentils) can function as a trap crop to attract wireworms in spring wheat fields. Wheat intercropped with pea and lentil showed significantly less damage. Further following up on the same study, we have found that pea crop can function more efficiently at the seeding density of 8 seeds/sq. ft. which is a standard seeding rate for peas in Montana. At this seeding rate, higher numbers of wireworms were found to be attracted to the pea crop, resulting in higher yield of spring wheat plant stands. Nonetheless, more experiments are needed since intercropping might not be a feasible farming practice for Montana growers. To develop an effective trap crop strategy, the possible peawheat spatial patterns (border/perimeter or row/strip) need to be assessed in further field trials. At WTARC we are establishing more experiments to finalize the proper trap crops scheme which can work with growing practices in Montana. In the future, more experiments to study the movement of wireworms will be needed. Chemical compounds responsible for attracting wireworms from the roots of trap crops can be identified and further used in the baiting method to trap wireworms by attracting and retaining the wireworm in a confined area of a field. Also, the attractive compound can also be used along with any killing agent (such as entomopathogenic fungus) to create an ‘attract and kill’ mechanism to cause the required mortality of wireworms below ground. Overall for cereal crops in Montana, the major task needed in terms of testing the field efficacy of trap crops which can work with the farming practices of this region. Furthermore, the most important objective should be to test the cost-effectiveness of trap crops as a part of an integrated pest management program for targeted insect pests of this region.
A Bountiful Thanksgiving
Tucked between the two monster sized holidays of Halloween and Christmas, Thanksgiving receives far less attention. But Thanksgiving is a very important holiday, especially in the busy lives of Americans. It is a time to kick back and relax, watch a football game or go to a movie, and enjoy a huge feast. It’s also time for us to give thanks to our God, for the things he has bestowed upon us and upon this great nation. There is no nation in the world that has more to be thankful for than us. Thanksgiving History: The first Thanksgiving was celebrated between the Pilgrims and the Indians in 1621.That first feast was a three day affair. Life for the early settlers was difficult. The fall harvest was time for celebration. It was also a time of prayer, thanking God for a good crop. The Pilgrims and the Indians created a huge feast including a wide variety of animals and fowl, as well as fruits and vegetables from the fall harvest. This early celebration was the start of today’s holiday celebration. Like then, we celebrate with a huge feast. Today, most of us enjoy Turkey with “all the trimming”. The “trimming” include a wide variety of foods that are a tradition for your family. Those traditional foods often replicate the foods at the first Thanksgiving feast. While others, are traditional ethnic or religious groups recipe, or a special food item that your family always serves at Thanksgiving dinner. Then, to top it off, pumpkin pies, apple pies, an even mince meat pies are bountiful around the table. American Thanksgiving traditions revolve around a huge and lavish meal, usually with Turkey as the centerpiece. For those who do not like Turkey, a Roast or Prime Rib is common. As tradition has it in most families, a special prayer of thanks precedes the meal. In many homes, family members will each mention something they are very thankful for. Did you know? Potatoes were not part of the first Thanksgiving. Irish immigrants had not yet brought them to North America. After the first Thanksgiving, the observance was sporadic and almost forgotten until the early 1800’s. It was usually celebrated in late September or October. In 1941, Congress made it a national holiday and set the date as the fourth Thursday in November.

By NDSU Extension Service A challenging soybean harvest is raising many storage and drying questions, according to Ken Hellevang, agricultural engineer with North Dakota State University (NDSU) Extension. Soybeans at 11 percent moisture have similar storage characteristics as wheat or corn at about 13.5 percent moisture, so 16 percent moisture soybeans might be expected to store the same way as about 19 percent moisture corn. “It is important to be able to aerate the soybeans to keep them cool,” Hellevang says. The amount of natural air drying that will occur in late October and early November is limited. The equilibrium moisture content of soybeans for air at 40 degrees and 70 percent relative humidity is about 12 percent, so drying soybeans above 12 percent would be expected with this air condition. However, the drying rate will be slow at typical in-bin drying airflow rates. An airflow rate of 1 cubic foot per minute per bushel (cfm/bu) is expected to dry 18 percent moisture soybeans in about 60 days. With an airflow rate of 1.5 cfm/ bu, the drying time is reduced to about 40 days. The drying time for 16 percent moisture soybeans is slightly less - about 50 days. Adding supplemental heat to raise the air temperature by 3 to 5 degrees will permit drying the soybeans to about 11 percent moisture in about 40 to 45 days. Increasing the airflow rate proportionally reduces the drying time. The moisture-holding capacity of air is reduced at lower air temperatures, Hellevang says. As average air temperatures approach 35 degrees, natural air drying becomes inefficient and not economical. Adding heat would cause the beans on the bottom of the bin to dry to a lower moisture content, and it would increase drying speed only slightly. Hellevang recommends cooling the soybeans to between 20 and 30 degrees for winter storage and completing the drying in the spring. Start drying in the spring when outdoor temperatures are averaging about 40 degrees. Increasing the airflow rate will increase the drying speed. However, the fan horsepower required to achieve the higher airflow rate becomes excessive unless the grain depth is very shallow. For a soybean depth of 22 feet, each 1,000 bushels of soybeans will require about 1 horsepower of fan. To achieve an airflow rate of 1.25 cfm/bu will require about 1.6 horsepower per 1,000 bushels and an airflow rate of 1.5 cfm/bu will need about 2.5 horsepower per 1,000 bushels. “The type of fan greatly affects the airflow provided per horsepower, so use a fan selection software program such as the one developed by the University of Minnesota,” Hellevang advises. “It is available on the NDSU grain drying and storage website. To find the website, do an internet search for NDSU grain drying and storage.” Soybeans can be dried in a high-temperature dryer, but the dryer temperature needs to be limited to minimize damage to the beans. Refer to the manufacturer’s recommendations for maximum drying temperature. Typically, the maximum drying temperature for nonfood soybeans is about 130 degrees. Even at that temperature, some skins and beans will be cracked. One study found that with a dryer temperature of 130 degrees, 50 to 90 percent of the skins were cracked and 20 to 70 percent of the beans were cracked. Another study found that 30 percent of the seed coats were cracked if the drying air relative humidity was 30 percent. Roughly, with each 20 degree increase in drying temperature, the air relative humidity is reduced to one-half, Hellevang notes. Air at 50 degrees and 80 percent relative humidity will have a relative humidity of about 40 percent when heated to 70 degrees. He recommends monitoring the soybean seeds coming from the dryer and managing the dryer temperature based on the amount of damage occurring. Hellevang also warns of the risk of fires when drying soybeans. Soybean pods and other trash can accumulate in the dryer and combust. He has this advice to reduce the risk of fires: • Assure that trash does not accumulate in the dryer. • Assure that the soybeans continue to flow in all sections of the dryer. • Monitor the dryer continuously. • Clean the dryer frequently to reduce the potential for debris to combust.
Landlord-tenant workshops offered across Nebraska
By University of Nebraska-Lincoln IANR News Current and future landowners and tenants should make plans to attend free upcoming land management workshops sponsored by Nebraska Extension. The workshops will be held at nine sites across Nebraska this fall. “Managing Agricultural Land for the 21st Century” will cover current trends in cash rental rates, lease provisions, and crop and grazing land considerations. Nebraska Extension Educators Allan Vyhnalek, Aaron Nygren, Erin Laborie, Ben Beckman and Jim Jansen conduct research and outreach in land management, agronomy and beef production. They will address common agricultural landlord and tenant questions such as, what does an equitable rental rate look like for my land? How do I manage a farmland lease? What should I expect for communications between the landlord and tenant? What does a soil test tell me? I hear about organic or natural production; how does that vary from what my farmer is currently doing? If corn or soybeans are not making money, should something else be raised on my land? What are key pasture leasing considerations including stocking rates? Who is responsible for cedar tree removal from grazing land? “Landlords and tenants often struggle with land management questions.” said Vyhnalek. “Both are concerned with fair treatment but it can be difficult to keep up with the current trends. Our workshop will provide participants with up-to-date information so they can be confident about their lease arrangements.” To ensure enough handouts please register at go.unl. edu/landlordtenant or call the phone number listed for each location.

Do Albinos exist?
Genetically, there are not true albinos because the albinism gene is lethal. There are white horses that can have dark or blue eyes. White-looking horses may result from the breeding of a Cremello (horse with dilution genes). Most Cremellos have a yellowish tint. A sabino Pinto (with a gene for removing pigment) may produce a horse that appears pure white. Some of these white horses are born dead or deaf. Gray horses, usually born dark, have a gene similar to humans that whitens hair over time. Just like humans, not all grays go totally white.

Clean Out Your Refrigerator Day
Day celebrated is always on November 14! This holiday is all about taking the time to clean out your refrigerator. Not very often do we keep our frig squeaky clean and all the food fresh. Because of our fast pace life we are forever pushing to the back those plastic containers and later finding a moldy mossy mess don’t we. So this holiday is a reminder to us all to
clean out that frig at least once a year. Toss out the old food and wash down the shelves and walls of the frig too. Front to back, top to bottom now. You know you only have a few more days before Thanksgiving anyway and we all know how much extra room we need during the holiday season for leftover food right? So on this holiday get ahead of the game and Clean Out Your Refrigerator!
MSU hires new Extension sheep associate specialist
Trader’s Dispatch, November 2018 — Page C37
Our new email address is advertising@tradersdispatch.com
Montana State University has hired Brent Roeder, an agriculture and natural resources Extension agent in Teton County, as the university’s Extension Sheep Specialist. Roeder, who has served as the agriculture and natural resources agent in Teton County since 2015, received his bachelor’s degree in animal science from Texas A&M University and his master’s degree in ruminant nutrition from Montana State University. Roeder will begin his new position on Nov. 1. Prior to becoming an Extension agent, Roeder was a research associate in the Department of Animal and Range Sciences, in MSU’s College of Agriculture. During this time, he worked with state sheep and range specialists in programs including Undaunted Stewardship, the Joe Skeen Center for Rangeland Research and the Montana Sheep Institute. Roeder also conducted large-scale trials to determine the interaction between livestock grazing and biological control agents on noxious weeds. As the new statewide specialist, Roeder said he recognizes the vital role that the sheep and wool play when it comes to wool products and Montana’s economic development. “I see great opportunities for the industry to engage new producers and consumers through increased lamb consumption, using more sheep and goats for vegetation management, and improved opportunities for locally produced, valueadded Montana products,” he said. “We are excited that Brent Roeder will be joining our faculty, as he brings a wealth of both academic and real-life experience to MSU’s sheep and wool program,” said Patrick Hatfield, professor and head of MSU’s Department of Animal and Range Sciences. “Brent’s background in production, research, and extension will be an asset to both our department and Montana’s sheep and wool producers.” Cody Stone, director of MSU Extension, said Roder’s appointment impacts MSU’s Extension ability to work alongside regional sheep producers. “His knowledge, expertise and relationships within the sheep industry will allow him to make immediate impacts; we’re excited about having him.”

Homemade Bread Day
Date When Celebrated: Always November 17 Bakers of the world, rise up and bake some bread, for today is Homemade Bread Day. Bread has been made for thousands of years. Estimates date it’s origin back to 5000-10,000 B.C. Modern day lifestyles has relegated homemade bread to the world of specialty baking and holiday baking. People just don’t have time to bake home made bread. We turn to a quick “run” to bakeries and grocery stores, for our bread needs. The arrival of automatic bread makers has created a small resurgence of home made breads, especially specialty breads. The purpose of this day is easy to understand.--- to make home made bread, and to encourage you and me to make tasty and nutritious bread. So, take a little time out of your busy day, and make some bread. Your nose, your taste buds, and your whole family will be glad you did. Origin of Homemade Bread Day: From our research, it appears that this special day is sponsored by the Homemade Bread Day Committee of Montague, MI.
