‘particular action’ or ensuring resilient public lands” –whatever this means.

3. Eliminate valid existing rights not “compatible” with a conservation lease. Instead, the proposed rule states the only use guaranteed on a conservation lease is “casual use,” which is defined as a non-economic use.

4. Require the BLM to take the “precautionary approach” when authorizing land uses which may impair “ecosystem resilience.”

Given the proposed planning rule is based in part on Biden’s 30 x 30 and climate change executive orders (EO), doesn’t everything impair “ecosystem resilience” and contribute to climate change?

Remember, Biden’s 30 x 30 EO opines only land in its “natural state” meets the 30 x 30 requirements. Since this administration believes ecosystem resilience is necessary to defeat climate change and only land in its natural state will meet the country’s climate goals, I am assuming the protection of the natural state means no use of multiple-use lands.

5. Extort money from those who are wealthy enough to pay “third party mitigation fund holders.” This seems like another easy way to send funds to radical environmentalist organizations with little to no public review.

6. Further slow down the permitting process for activities on BLM lands.

Currently, every metric shows the BLM is woefully behind on completing term

DEQ celebrates air quality

For the eighth-consecutive year, the Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality’s (DEQ) Air Quality Division (AQD) will join the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, as well as other agencies across the country, in celebrating Air Quality Awareness Week May 1-5.

The national theme for 2023 is “Working Together for Clean Air.”

DEQ will celebrate throughout the month of May with outreach efforts to inspire Wyoming citizens to take action and consider incorporating air quality knowledge and conservation practices into their daily lifestyles.

Small, habitual practices such as refraining from idling vehicles, properly inflating tires on vehicles, turning off lights whenever possible and raising or lowering room temperature by one-to-two degrees – depending upon the season – can help reduce air emissions and save Wyoming’s citizens hundreds of dollars each year.

DEQ will spread air quality awareness through public service announcements (PSA) and the agency’s social media platforms.

DEQ additionally encourages Wyoming’s citizens to utilize WyVisNet, which features real-time air quality data and web cameras from across the state. Citizens can check air quality conditions in their area by visiting wyvisnet.com

To view the 2023 Air Quality Awareness Week PSA videos and other educational content, visit deq.wyoming.gov/aqd/air-quality-awareness-week/

NAHLN receives funding

The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) is awarding $2.29 million through the National Animal Health Laboratory Network (NAHLN) farm bill program to advance APHIS’s animal health preparedness.

The 2018 Farm Bill provided funding for this program as part of an overall strategy to prevent animal pests and diseases from entering the U.S. and reduce the spread and impact of potential disease incursions.

NAHLN funding supports projects focused on increasing capacity for disease testing through stockpiling efforts, enhancing data management through IT standardization and increasing high-throughput testing with the addition of diagnostic testing instruments and technical expertise in laboratories.

A full list of NAHLN-funded projects is available at aphis.usda.gov/aphis/ourfocus/animalhealth/lab-infoservices/nahln/

Grassland CRP announced

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) announced agricultural producers and private landowners can begin signing up for the Grassland Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) through May 26.

Among CRP enrollment opportunities, Grassland CRP is a unique working lands program, allowing producers and landowners to continue grazing and haying practices while conserving grasslands and promoting plant and animal biodiversity as well as healthier soil.

More than 3.1 million acres were accepted through the 2022 Grassland CRP signup from agricultural producers and private landowners, which was the highest ever for the program and reflects the continued success and value of investments in voluntary, producer-led, working lands conservation programs.

The current total participation in Grassland CRP is 6.3 million acres, which is part of the 23 million acres enrolled in CRP opportunities overall.

Since 2021, USDA’s Farm Service Agency, which administers all CRP programs, has made several improvements to Grassland CRP to broaden the program’s reach, including creating two national priority zones to put focus on environmentally sensitive land, such as that prone to wind erosion; enhancing offers with 10 additional ranking points to producers and landowners who are historically underserved, including beginning farmers and military veterans and leveraging the Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program to engage historically underserved communities within Tribal nations in the Great Plains.

Landowners and producers interested in Grassland CRP, or any other CRP enrollment option, should contact their local USDA Service Center to learn more or to apply for the program before the deadlines.

Antler hunting postponed

The Wyoming Game and Fish Department (WGFD) has announced an emergency extended closure of the shed antler and horn hunting regulation to protect big game on winter ranges. The emergency regulation extends the current closure until 6 a.m. May 15 on designated lands, excluding Teton County.

A map of the affected land is online and the boundaries are detailed within the emergency regulation. Anyone found violating the closures or illegally collecting antlers may be cited.

Collecting means to search for, locate, stockpile or possess shed antlers and horns of big game animals on public land or attempt to search for, locate, stockpile or possess shed antlers and horns of big game animals on public or state land during the closed season.

A violation of this regulation carries the same potential penalties, including fines, forfeiture of seized shed antlers and horns and loss of hunting and fishing privileges.

Teton County is not included in the closure extension. The primary species affected by the harsh winter in Western Wyoming are pronghorn and mule deer and there are relatively few pronghorn and mule deer wintering in Teton County.

Also, the large influx of antler hunters who come to Teton County to collect antlers on U.S. Forest Service lands adjacent to the National Elk Refuge requires a coordinated interagency effort to manage. After a meeting of all the partner agencies, it was decided to move forward with the standard opening at 6 a.m. on May 1 for Teton County.

Some WGFD Commission-owned wildlife habitat management areas in the western and southern portions of the state will also remain closed to human presence.

Bureau of Land Management to host event

The Wyoming Department of Corrections Wyoming Honor Farm and the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) will celebrate 35 years of training and adopting wild horses and burros with an adoption on May 13 in Riverton.

“We’re honored to be part of this successful partnership,” said June Wendlandt, wild horse and burro lead for BLM Wyoming. “Since 1988, the Honor Farm has helped us place thousands of horses and burros, removed from overpopulated herds, into good homes.”

To commemorate this special occasion, 35 saddle-started horses, 15 halter-started horses and 10 gentled burros will be offered for adoption.

Photos of many of the available animals can be seen by following BLM Wyoming on Facebook or Twitter, and individuals can preview available horses and burros in-person from 1-3:30 p.m. on May 12.

On May 13, gates open at 8 a.m. and the competitive-bid adoption begins at 10:30 a.m. Both days’ events are free and open to anyone interested in wild horses, the Honor Farm gentling process and the BLM wild horse and burro adoption program.

The BLM will provide applications and information about how to adopt on both May 12 and 13. The horses and burros are current on their vaccinations, deworming and

AAA announces new awards

The American Angus Association (AAA) stands 22,000 members strong, each with a unique vision of success. To acknowledge the hard work of Angus enthusiasts, AAA will implement three new awards at the 2023 Angus Convention.

The new awards include the Young Breeder of the Year Award, which recognizes a young, registered Angus breeder for their leadership within the breed, participation in Angus programs and innovation within their herd and the Angus Ambassador of the Year Award will recognize someone who goes above and beyond to promote or aid Angus efforts and broaden Angus influence in the beef industry

Applicants for these award can nominate themselves or be nominated by someone else. Nominations can be submitted at bit.ly/3Muwwcy and bit/ly/3Gw2Zvh, for these two awards respectively and are due on May 15.

Award winners will be recognized at the 2023 Angus Convention Nov. 36 in Orlando, Fla.

The third new award is the Top Sire of the Year Award which will recognize the top registration sire for the fiscal year. This award will not be application or nomination based, but rather derived from the sire with the most registrations in the fiscal year.

Use of multipleuse lands won’t stop because of concern over legitimate environmental harm – it will stop because the BLM simply does not have the money, manpower or time to complete the analysis, which appears to be the goal anyway.

The proposed rules also don’t mention any of the other statutes mandating use of BLM lands such as the Taylor Grazing Act, the Mineral Leasing Act and the 1872 Mining Law.

While there is a long way to go before these proposed planning regulations are completed, looking at my crystal ball, I see a Congressional Review Act battle all over again.

I just hope it won’t be too late to save the family rancher who relies on the use of his grazing permit for his livelihood.

The RMAL Program

To kick off the event, Kelly Crane, associate director for the College of Ag, director of UW Extension and interim director of RMAL, welcomed attendees and offered some insight into UW’s new RMAL program.

According to Crane, this unique educational series was initiated through a generous donation from Farm Credit Services of America and designed with two goals in mind – to create real-world learning opportunities for UW students and to engage community members involved in ag from around the state.

He explained the series is a combination of educational events open to the public, in addition to a university course offered to UW students, culminating in a bachelor’s degree, which will be available beginning in the fall of 2024.

“We are in the final throws of university approval,” he noted. “We submitted a feasibility study last week, which will go to the board of trustees this fall, as long as we make it through all of the hoops on campus.”

Crane shared the most exciting aspect of the program is how unique it is.

“First, it is really interdisciplinary, providing students with fundamental knowledge in things like range management, forage production, livestock production and ag business, but not specializing in any one of those – just a broad-based bachelor’s degree combining them all,” he said.

“Maybe as important is the integration of leadership skills in everything we do in this curriculum, which makes it unique from other programs across the country,” he added. “And, of course, it provides an opportunity for students to engage with Wyoming practitioners across the state.”

He noted possibly the most important aspiration of the program is the hope to train students to contribute to society through leadership roles in their communities.

“When we look at leadership at a regional, state, county or community scale, we see the undeniable marks of agriculture, so by providing students with this unique set of skills, we hope they arise to leadership positions in their respective careers and the industries they choose to serve in,” Crane stated.

“When we think about weed and pest boards, conservation boards, school boards, planning and zoning boards, etc., I guarantee there are people serving in these roles with ag somewhere in their background,” he added.

Leadership in Wyoming

On the topic of leadership, both Crane and Gov. Mark Gordon expressed their belief individuals involved in agriculture make the best kind of leaders.

“The message I keep trying to convey everywhere I go is how important leadership is for agriculture,” stated Gordon. “Ag is the heart and soul of Wyoming, and our state is what it is because we have people who are willing to step forward and lead.”

He pointed out a few of these leaders including Sen. Ogden Driskill who has helped push important agricultural policy and Wyoming Department of Agriculture Director Doug Miyamoto for the critical role he plays in the industry.

Gordon also thanked Dr. Barbara Rasco, dean of UW’s College of Agriculture, Life Sciences and Natural Resources, who stepped up to the plate after Gordon challenged the college to do a better job of educating students on everything agriculture entails, from genetics, rangeland management, hydrology, engineering, etc. and moving the industry forward.

“For a long time, we’ve discussed what the College of Agriculture should be teaching and how we could do everything better, but it wasn’t coming together into a combined effort,” he stated. “This is what the RMAL program does.”

“I am really thrilled this program has had such success. It is exactly the cornerstone I was hoping the Wyoming Innovation Partnership (WIP) would achieve, and I am so thrilled it has received funding through phase two of WIP,” he added.

He concluded, “Agriculture is about hard work, stewardship, collaboration and integrity, and these are all important leadership qualities. I have to say, there is nothing that teaches leadership skills better than growing up on a ranch.”

Closing remarks

Following Crane and Gordon’s welcome, the symposium hosted a panel discussion on advocating for agriculture, featuring Diana Berger, Amanda Hulet, Melinda Sims and Cat Urbigkit.

Wesley Tucker, a farm and ranch transition specialist, gave a presentation on farm succession planning; Jim Neiman, president of Neiman Enterprises, Inc. provided insight on how to be a leader in the community and Donald Schiefelbein, former president of the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association discussed serving in organizational leadership positions.

At the end of the day, Rasco took to the stage to provide closing remarks.

She began by thanking symposium attendees and program faculty for showing up and putting on the event.

“I think today was really significant because we had a number of great presentations and our speakers showcased the extraordinary talent we have among Wyoming producers and community leaders involved in agriculture,” she said. “Everyone has leadership capacity, and I hope this has come through today.”

“I personally think the university system is enriched by student inter- actions with individuals like those with us today and those we have heard from in the program to build networks and learn about what works, what doesn’t work and what leadership really means,” she continued.

“There will be more opportunities in the future for UW, especially the College of Ag, to support partners across the state through our efforts, Extension and other aca-

FFA continued from page 1 a great turn out, and it was enjoyable to see the upcoming leaders of Wyoming’s agriculture industry hard at work.”

Following the first day of youth contests, the event kicked off with a welcome dinner hosted by the Wyoming FFA Foundation.

“2023 has been an exciting year,” said Wyoming FFA Foundation Executive Director Oaklee Gilliland. “Because of increased numbers at convention, the foundation has increased their support of the event. We loved seeing all of the students, advisors and guests in attendance.”

In addition to supporting the event, the Wyoming FFA Foundation, in conjunction with their college partners, gave away over $30,000 in scholarships to Wyoming FFA members.

New chapters

In 2023, two new junior high school chapters were chartered. Horse Creek FFA and Prairie View FFA, both of Cheyenne, attended with 14 and 11 members, respectively.

Megan Barton, the chartering advisor of both chapters, said, “It’s been a reward- ing experience introducing agriculture and FFA to my students. The passion and drive they have for FFA has been incredible to watch, especially with it being a fairly new concept for some.”

“Their excitement and dedication motivate me to continue to offer them new experiences and challenge them along the way,” she continued. “I am excited to see the growth in not only the chapters but the students in the coming years.”

Junior high members of the Horse Creek and Prairie View FFA participated in livestock judging, poultry judging, horse judging and the FFA knowledge event –the Greenhand Quizbowl.

2023-24

State Officer Team

Throughout the week of the convention, a set of the state’s top youth leaders in agriculture interviewed to lead the organization. On April 22, a new team of student officers was elected to serve as the Wyoming FFA State Officer Team.

The new team includes President Larkin Williams of the Rawhide FFA, Vice President Karina Mysse of the Buffalo FFA, Second Vice President Kinley Ander- son of the Ten Sleep FFA, Third Vice President Caytlin Heatherington of the Cheyenne Frontier FFA, Secretary Sonja Post of the Shoshoni FFA, Treasurer Brand Terrell of the Gillette FFA, Reporter Afton Stewart of the Casper FFA, Sentinel Jackson Hill of the Riverton FFA and Parliamentarian Harper Pollock of the Casper FFA.

For more information, visit WyomingFFA. org or WyoFFAFoundation.com.

“The state FFA officers serve as the face of the Wyoming FFA Association,” said Broda. “Throughout their year of service, they will represent Wyoming FFA at local, state and national events as well as conduct leadership workshops and serve as ambassadors for agriculture and youth leadership.”

Upon her election as the new Wyoming FFA president, Williams said, “My week at convention was a whirlwind of networking, competing and interviewing. I am so fortunate, and this year, this team and this association already mean so much to me.”

Williams shared she is excited to create lifelong connections and friendships with her fellow state officers as well as all of the chapter members they will get to interact with around the state during their year of service.
