Leafy spurge is rapidly developing

BROOKINGS, S.D. - SDSU
Extension encourages landowners to keep an eye out for Leafy
spurge. The noxious weed has
been spotted in areas of northcentral South Dakota that have
not traditionally had problems
with it in the past.
"Since these new patches are
developing landowners need to
scout their pastures, hay lands,
ditches and shelterbelts for this
aggressive noxious weed," said
Mark Rosenberg, SDSU Extension Agronomy & Weeds Field
Specialist.
The South Dakota Department of Agriculture reports that
leafy spurge infests 309,420
acres of land in the state. Noxious weeds are non-native plant
species that are a concern to land
owners and managers. They replace and impede agriculture,
recreation and wildlife.
Leafy spurge 101
Leafy spurge is difficult to
control weed that is considered
noxious
throughout
South
Dakota; below are some quick
facts.
Life cycle: A creeping perennial.
Leaves: Alternate, long, narrow, drooping, dark green.
Stems: 2 to 3 feet tall. Plant contains milky sap.
Flowers: Small green flowers
surrounded by yellow-green
bracts. Seed explodes from a
three-celled capsule.
Roots: Dark brown with pink
buds. They may reach 20 feet
deep.
To manage leafy spurge,
Rosenberg said because it is a
perennial species that develops
extensive root systems, it is very
difficult to control. "Management
programs typically require several years and can be very costly.
Therefore, it is strongly recommended to watch for new
patches and control infestations
while they are small," he said.
Standard herbicide programs
include; Tordon (spot treatment
rate 1-2 qt.), Tordon (1.5pt.)+2,4D ester (1 lb. AE), or Plateau (812 oz.) All rates are per acre.
Rosenberg said that herbicides should be applied early in
June at flowering or to wait until
regrowth in the fall (SeptemberOctober or while the white sap is
still flowing). He added that although Plateau may be used
around some tree species, as always landowners need to read
and follow label precautions.
Perspective (4.75- 8 oz.) is also
labeled for control. However
Rosenberg said it cannot be applied to grass that will be grazed
or hayed.
For large infestations or sensitive areas, Rosenberg encouraged landowners to consider
introducing bio-control agents
such as leafy spurge flea beetles
(Aphthona lacertosa or Aphthona nigriscutis).

First off I want to thank Diane
at the Faith Independent and
whoever helped her to solve the
problem with late delivery of our
Faith paper. We received our
paper on Thursday after being
put in the mail stream on
Wednesday. Wonderful and have
had several people comment on
the change, thanks again.
Saturday, June 14th, at 2:00 at
the Opal Community Church will
be memorial services for Ermal
and Barbara Reeve. Everyone is
welcome to come for the service
and burial at the Opal Cemetery
with refreshments after at the
church. Their daughter Virginia
and her family will be there.
Vacation Bible School is a one
day gathering on Wednesday,

for ages 5-12 at the Opal Community Church.
Monday afternoon, Lisle Reeve
went to Rapid City to spend the
night and early on Tuesday he
and his grandson Aaron Hartwell
took off to drive to San Antonio,
Texas to visit Lisle's daughter
Linda Farnum and family.
I went to Faith on Monday for
a clinic appointment and then got
my drivers license renewed,
which was no small project. Doesn't help when you use two names,
Kay and Kathleen, and two addresses, Opal and Mud Butte,
plus couldn't find my marriage license and never had a birth certificate so had to have that taken
care of first. The camera didn't
like my color of shirt, tone of my
skin and a couple other things,
but got it done. I am half scared
to see what the picture looks like
after about four times trying to
satisfy the camera. Knew it was
getting bad, but didn't know it
was that bad!!!
Rod and Tracy Ingalls took
their car to Rapid City on Monday for some repair work, an-
other casualty of the county

roads. They also had other appointments and shopping.
John and Carmen Heidler
went to Faith on Monday to the
livestock auction and to take
Dorothy Heidler to an appointment.
Monday was the beginning of
VBS at the Prairie Home Church.
An auto accident happened close
to the church on Monday which
created some excitement. No one
from VBS was involved but
neighbor Quentin Gerbracht was
and received some stitches to
close a wound.
Tuesday was a rainy election
day at the Opal School. We had
a fair turnout of 58 voters in spite
of the rainy day. Thanks to all
who did turn out. Carmen Fees
and I delivered the election supplies to our carrier at Maurine
and was quite surprised that the
dust was almost flying the closer
we got to highway 212. We received a little over 1.75 inches of
rain here this week. Countryside
is absolutely beautiful with God's
blessing of moisture.
OJ and John Heidler went to
another neighbor cattle branding
on Tuesday and OJ to another
branding on Wednesday.
Sue Keffeler came out from
Sturgis to visit Zona Vig on Tuesday and brought her a birthday
present. Keith Keffeler had
welded a beautiful, huge planter
and Sue brought flowers and
planted them. Morgan Vig was
the helper that carried all 25 gallons of dirt to fill the planter.
A carpet cleaning service came
out from Box Elder and cleaned
the carpets in the Opal Community Church on Wednesday. They
also did carpets for Kay, Tracy
and Dale and Marie Ingalls.
Spud and Bernice Lemmel
went to Spearfish on Wednesday
to keep a dental appointment for
Keep up with your city,

school, and county...
Read the Legals
Spud. Saturday, Bernice said

they had a crew of helpers.
Ronny, Brooke and Bridgett,
Rorey, Calen, Brynn and Cade
Lemmel were there to help work
sheep and get them hauled to the
gumbo pasture. Grandma was
the cook, again.
Friday, Zona Vig went to Faith
to meet a friend from east river
and pick up some wood work that
her cousin built as gifts.
Carmen Heidler went to Union
Center on Friday for a hair cut
and then on to Sturgis to do a little business and on to Spearfish
to visit her mom and spend the
afternoon.
Howard and I went to Rapid
City on Friday for appointments
and shopping and home through
Sturgis. Rained on us most of the
day but dry at Union Center and
on home.
Marlin and Ethel Ingalls took
in the Grand Electric annual
meeting held in Bison on Friday
evening. She said the band that
entertained the group was great
and made you want to get up and
dance. Bands name was Badger
Horse.
John and Lucille O'Grady
stopped in for a short visit at the
home of John and Carmen Heidler on Saturday. They were on
their way to Lemmon.
Zona Vig went to Faith on Saturday to pick up supplies and
also two girls from Tyler, TX who
are part of a group the will be
helping with the VBS at the
Church of Christ this week.
Cheyenne Winkler and children
came in the afternoon and the
kids stayed while Cheyenne went
to Dupree to judge the Regional
SDHSR Rodeo Queen Contest.
They all spent the night and in
the morning Cheyenne and
Cherokee drove to Sioux Falls so
Cherokee could attend Music
Camp. Dwayne and Garrett flew
to Prairie City where Dwayne
preached and then flew back to
Faith for services and potluck.
They all flew home but Zona and
the girls from Texas who stayed
to help get ready for Bible School
and Zona served supper to the
workers.
As predicted, the weekend

turned cool and wet after a beautiful week of seventy degree
weather. However, the plains of
Central Meade County look as
lush and green as we've ever
seen them look.
Many spring activities have
already come and gone, including the June 3 primary. There
were winners and losers of several races in Meade County, so
now some of the winners will
continue their races for the November general elections.
Dean Wink and Tom Brunner
are the Republican House of
Representatives and Gary Cammack will serve as District 29
Senator. Dean Wink will most
likely be the Speaker of the
House as he is currently Speaker
Pro-tem. Ron Merwin won the
election for Sherriff, Register of
Deeds victor was Lana Anderson, and Lisa Sheiffer won her
position as County Auditor.
Larry Rhoden, the lone West
River U.S. Senate candidate, ran
a hard, statewide race for South
Dakota's United States Senate
seat and came in a distant 2nd to
Mike Rounds out of five candidates. Larry's conservative campaign averaged $6 per vote while
Mike Rounds averaged $58 per
vote. Annette Bosworth spent
the most with $375 per vote.
Larry and I discovered the time
and commitment a statewide

race requires and feel we have
benefited from the experience.
Many great relationships have
formed as well as the logistics
and requirements learned. We
are both very appreciative of the
folks who gave much for the
cause to serve our great state
and nation. Larry and I will
never forget those who showed
faith in Larry's decision to run.
Wes and Sue Labrier and
family headed to Canada on Saturday morning for Kayla
Labrier's wedding. She will be
married on Wednesday of this
week.
Bible School at the Community Baptist Church will take
place the week of June 23. For
information one may call
Melanie Cammack at 985-5289.
It was a cool weekend for
height school rodeo. Tanielle Arneson and Wyatt Schulke won
the average in team roping this
weekend in Sturgis at the Regional High School Rodeo.
Tanielle won the round in breakaway on Sunday and was 3rd in
average. Wyatt placed 3rd in the
calf roping average and split 4th
in the round in broncs. Tanielle
is the daughter of Melvin and
Trina Arneson of Enning and
Wyatt is the son of Kirk and
Stacey Schulke of Opal. Both
Tanielle and Wyatt attend high
school at Faith.

We had several rain showers

last week. A big storm hit here
Friday morning about 12:45 with
wind, followed a minute or two
later with heavy rain. I checked
my iPhone weather and it had
posted a Significant Advisory. I
checked and it listed Maurine and
Faith only. Id never seen that
particular message before. It advised heavy wind, rain and nickel
size hail. Thankfully, we never
got any hail. We got close to another couple inches last week. It
sounds like we are to see a little
more sunshine this week! The
countryside sure is green!
Chris Haskell is here visiting

her son Lex Palmer and family for
awhile. Chris and her husband
live in Alaska.
Congratulations to Sean Bogue
on his graduation from the US
Air Force Academy and on his
commission as a 2nd Lieutenant.
Very rarely do we have a FHS
graduate admitted there. His
family is very proud of him, as are
most of us here.
We received this latest bit of
news this week. The June 6 issue
of the Pro Rodeo Sports News
magazine features our own saddle bronc rider Cole Elshere on
the cover. Cole recently won the
Wrangler Champions Challenge
in Spanish Fork, Utah. He is
going to star as the legendary
Casey Tibbs in an upcoming documentary. Congratulations on all
these achievements Cole!
We dont have the official results from the Dupree Regional
HS Rodeo but want to congratulate all those who placed. The
Faith High School Rodeo Club
had several members compete
and qualify for the State High
School Rodeo in Belle Fourche at
the end of the month.

Roundup

We got just under two inches of
rain this week. I dont remember
ever seeing it look this green
around here. If you didnt know
this wasnt Ireland, youd never
know by looking out across the
beautiful green prairie. I got the
last of my flowers planted and got
part of the lawn mowed in between rains. Too bad the swather
wont fit through the yard gate.
The grass and weeds I didnt get
mowed are so tall that I could get
a couple big round bales put up in
the yard if I could get the haying
equipment in here!
The farming is almost finished
around here. Ron E Jenson came
down and got the seed oats these
guys had left because he needed a
few bushel to finish planting.
Those of us on the Executive
Board spent Monday and Tuesday interviewing candidates for
the Executive Director of the Legislative Research Council. We
also appointed Lorin Brass as the
new member on the Investment
Council.
Friday was the 70th anniversary of D-Day when our soldiers
landed on Normandy Beach in
what was the beginning of the
end of WWII. 10,000 of these
courageous young men died in the
battle that followed and many
other thousands were wounded in
action, some carrying the scars,
inside and out, for the rest of their
lives. One of my heroes, Bob Hanson from Bison, was one of the
soldiers who came ashore on
Omaha Beach that day and was
later wounded in France and captured by the Germans. Right now
Bob, who will be 96 this fall, is in
France with his granddaughter
visiting the area where he was
wounded and held as a P.O.W. by
the Germans. There is a reason
those guys were known as The
Greatest Generation. We owe
them a debt we can never repay!
Grand Electrics annual meeting was Friday evening in Bison
and most of the folks from the
surrounding area showed up for
the BBQ beef, pork and lamb supper. Badger Horse entertained
after the supper and business
meeting. Troy Hight, Justin
Seim, Jim Traversie and George
Mendoza make up the very talented four man band. George
Mendoza is from Eagle Butte, Jim
Traversie is from Faith, Justin
Seim is from Bison and Troy
Hight grew up in Buffalo. They
play traditional country music
and some of their own songs. If
you get the opportunity to hear
them, dont miss the chance. I can
guarantee you wont be disappointed!
There are another couple of
meetings coming up that you
might want to attend. On Friday
the 13th, the Great Western Cattle Trail Association is meeting at
the High Plains Western Heritage Center in Spearfish at 7:00
pm. This will be the final meeting

What up and down weather

we've had, rain one day, sun the
next, then back to rain. It's hard
to complain about moisture
though when we remember the
years with no rain and fears of
the "dirty thirties" returning. A
few years ago I was afraid I'd
never hear rain on the roof
again. All the doomsayers had
me wondering if they were right
and we'd be a desert like the Sahara. I do have to admit that I
have wished some of the places
needing rain would get some of
this.
June means July 4 follows
close behind and that means we
have the Howie Family Reunion
on July 5 at the Union Center
Church basement. Family reunion nearing has me looking at
the items in my home. My
kitchen table in Faith came to
Dakota territory in a covered
wagon. I have the little rocking
chair that came in the same
wagon. One of the items I have is
a book entitled, "The People's
Home Stock Book." I can find no
copyright information but my research indicates it is from the
early 1900's. The following about
ringworm is taken from the
book. "RINGWORM.-This is an
affection of the skin very common in cattle and is due to a vegetable parasite. Symptoms-The
disease affects the skin of cattle
in patches, the parasites grouping themselves in fields of two or
three inches in diameter. Their
favorite location is around the
head and neck. Theskin usually
thickens and becomes scaly and
crust-like. Ringworm parasites
always cause itching. TREAT-
MENT-Wash the crust off with

soap suds and apply tincture of
iodine or one part carbolic acid
and fifteen parts sweet oil, or
turpentine or kerosene. Be sure
to disinfect or whitewash the
stable." I looked it up and found
that tincture of iodine is a solution of iodine and ethyl alcohol.
The same book has a cure for an
abscess. Treatment for that
starts with "Hot fomentations of
water: or bran, linseed oil, or
bread and milk poultices to hasten the formation of pus." The
book continues by having the
pus cleaned out then disinfecting
with "coal-tar disinfectant, carbolic acid permanganate of
potash, sulphate of zinc, or sugar
or lead....." Some of my punctuation looks strange but I copied it
from the book. Things do change,
don't they? Currently we buy
something from the vet or from a
store that carries veterinarian
supplies. If we look through old
remedies like this we are sometimes amazed at how well some
of the old cures do perform. I can
imagine my ancestors grouped
around the kitchen table sitting
under the lantern that hung
from the hook in the ceiling
pouring over this book to find a
cure for the milk cow or the bum
calf. I think I can catch a little
whiff of kerosene coming from
the book. Unfortunately the book
has seen much use and the pages
are loose and worn. On ebay the
book lists for $20.00. I wouldn't
take a million for something that
was touched by family and treasured. It was the way they surfed
for information and downloaded
the cure. What do you have hid-
den on a shelf at your home?

Does your family know about it?
Share your family stories and
treasures while you can.
Friday, Harold and I drove to
Spearfish to attend the wedding
of Davina Samuelson, daughter
of Dave and Valorie (Moreland)
Samuelson. It rained off and on
all day in Spearfish. thankfully
it was an indoor wedding. We ate
lunch in Sturgis where we visited with Roxie Haines, Harley
and Ellen Price. We were all concerned how bad our country
roads would be to drive on when
we got home.
As Ron Travor tells me it
seemed I never stayed home this
week. I'm like the dog, if a wheel
moves in the yard, I get on! Monday
I
was
in
Faith,
Tuesday, Harold and I were in
Wall after weed spray for the
crops. Wednesday I rode to
Pierre with Lacey Wondercheck
and boys. Quirt had to have his
ears checked and his hearing
aide sent in for repairs. Thursday I did stay home! In all the
travels the scenery is beautiful.
Everything is so green and abundant. We've all talked about the
growth of the vegetation. I'm
sure that we can hear it grow
when the sun comes out!
Troy Thompson was in
Dupree this past weekend participating in the Regional High
School Rodeo. We had planned to
go Sunday but 50 degree
weather, rain and memories of
Dupree mud changed our minds.
Jim and Vonnie O'Dea and
grandkids did brave the elements on Sunday and attended
the Dupree Regional Rodeo.
Winston Brown was named
Rookie Cowboy at the Sturgis
Regional High School rodeo this
past weekend. Congratulations
to Winston.

Grand River Roundup

hosts the nine-state national
meeting of the GWCTA on July 4,
5, and 6 in Spearfish and Belle
Fourche during the Black Hills
Roundup PRCA Rodeo. We will
celebrate the Day of the American
Cowboy at the same time. If this
sounds like something you might
be interested in, come to the
meeting Friday evening.
Heres another event to mark
on your calendar: Lemmon, SD
and Hettinger, ND will celebrate
their 125th Statehood Anniversary in a joint celebration on
Monday, June 16. The celebration
will begin at the Dakota Buttes
Museum in Hettinger from 1:00
to 5:00. There will be a program
with music and a book signing by
Kathleen Norris, author of
Dakota, in Lemmon at the Senior Center at 3:30. A free
meal/125th birthday cake will be
served at 5:30 at Mirror Lake
Park in Hettinger with music by
the Hettinger Cowboy Band, followed by a program beginning at
6:30 including state dignitaries,
performers, and other participants. Everyone from the six west
river counties along the border
between North and South Dakota
is invited. The counties include
Bowman, Adams, and Sioux in
North Dakota and Harding,
Perkins, and Corson in South
Dakota. Sounds like a fun time!
We went to Bowman Saturday
and bought an old pickup from
the son of a guy Reub used to
rodeo with. After we got the
pickup, we drove west of town to
Rep. Keith Kempenichs ranch
and bought a sprayer that the
guys can use to spray weeds.
Keith just got back from a ceremony at Medora dedicating the

Maah Daah Hey Trail through
the South Unit of Teddy Roosevelt National Park. While the
guys were getting the sprayer
loaded Keith and I talked a little
politics. When we stopped back
through Bowman for ice cream,
we ran into Sen. Bill Bowman
and I suggested that Bill and
Keith might want to sponsor a bill
in the North Dakota legislature
designating the 4th Saturday in
July as the Day of the American
Cowboy like we did in South
Dakota this session.
Since Im discussing politics,
are you as relieved as I am that
the primary is over? Those political ads and speeches get a little
tiresome. I was visiting with
Nancy Brixey about the election
and she sent me this poem about
politicians that her government
teacher gave to his whole class:
Got a letter from our boy today;
It'll break his mother's heart.
We did our best to raise him,
Teach him to do his part.
Now he's piled a heap of trouble,
Plowed a mighty crooked row.
Where he got those backward
notions
Is more than I can know.
Can't figure out where we done
wrong.
Can't see the path he took
When he left for the university
And started reading them
there books.

It seems like middle-class

Americans just cant catch a
break. Over the past five and a
half years of the Obama presidency, the price of everything
has risen. Tuition prices have
soared. Gas prices have almost
doubled. Food prices have skyrocketed. And of course, health
care costs just continue to rise. It
shouldnt come as a surprise that
the administrations latest proposal out of the Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) is nothing more than a national energy
tax that will be yet another
sucker punch to middle-class
families
throughout
South
Dakota struggling to get by in
the Obama economy.
The Obama EPAs latest proposal is essentially a backdoor

national energy tax that will
damage our states economy and
hike electricity prices for all
South Dakotans. Under the proposed rule, South Dakota power
plants must reduce carbon dioxide emission rates 35 percent by
2030. That reduction mandate is
more stringent than the national
average for the EPAs proposed
emission reductions from existing power plants.
South Dakota families dealing
with hot summers, cold winters,
and long travel distances already
contribute much of their income
to energy costs. For South
Dakota households with annual
incomes below $50,000, one-fifth
of their after-tax income is already spent on residential and

transportation energy costs,

which is double the national average. Unfortunately, the new
rule is expected to increase electricity prices by as much as 10
percent.
Additionally, South Dakotas
agriculture and manufacturing
sectors are energy intensive and
particularly
susceptible
to
higher energy costs. The EPA
projects that natural gas prices
will increase by over 11 percent
on account of this new regulation, which will likely translate
into higher costs for fertilizer
and manufacturing in South
Dakota.
I recognize the devastating
impact this national energy tax
could have on South Dakota jobs
and energy costs, which is why
Im helping to lead the fight
against this proposal. I am a
cosponsor of legislation introduced by Senate Minority
Leader Mitch McConnell (RKentucky) to block the EPAs
proposal unless it can prove the
regulation will not eliminate
jobs, increase electricity prices,
or reduce electricity reliability. I
also joined 40 of my Senate colleagues in sending a letter on
June 4th calling on President
Obama to withdraw the costly
proposal. In September of 2013,
recognizing the Obama EPAs
plans to propose this backdoor
national energy tax, I introduced
two amendments to ShaheenPortman energy bill that would
have stopped the EPA from moving forward with these carbon
dioxide regulations, but Senate
Democrats blocked all amendments.
While we all agree clean air is
vitally important, this proposal
will only destroy jobs and
threaten grid reliability while essentially doing nothing to reduce
global carbon dioxide concentrations. Rather than focusing on
pleasing the far-left environmental wing of his party, the president should focus on creating
jobs and keeping energy costs affordable for middle-class families.

Ag financials featured at
SDSU Tri-County Ag Day
By Nancy Haigh
Believing the financial side of
a farm/ranch operation is just as
crucial as the range, crops and
livestock, South Dakota State
Universitys Tri-County Ag Day,
May 27, featured speakers from
the financial side of an operation.
Keynote speaker Dr. Brad
Lubben, an Extension public policy specialist at University of Nebraska Lincoln, broke down the
2014 Farm Bill and how the
funds from it are dispersed.
Lubben related that attempts
were made to split the Farm Bill
into separate food and farm bills.
Those failed, he said, because
there are so few congressmen/
women who represent just ag
that it is hard to get political representation to pass just a farm
bill. The Food Bill also could not
stand alone due to cuts.
Lubben noted that this farm
bill was the first that received
cuts instead of growth. For that
portion that deals with commodities (crop insurance, direct payments, etc.) he said many knew
that those safety nets were going
to disappear. The safety net was
the biggest part, so knew it
would be biggest hit, Lubben
said. Each year there were $5
billion dollars in direct payments
to farmers and ranchers. In all it
is a $1 trillion bill over 10 years,
he said.
A total of 80 percent of the
Farm Bill is dedicated to the
Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (Food Stamps),
other emergency food assistance
programs, and initiatives that
promote local foods. The food
program took a 1 percent, or $8
billion, cut. Lubben noted this
just slowed the growth of the
program in the future, but did
not hurt the program in which a
total of 46 million people participate.
For the remaining 20 percent,
9 percent is dedicated to crop insurance, 6 percent for conservation, 5 percent for commodity
programs with the remaining 1
percent toward trade, rural development, forestry, horticulture, energy, and other items.
Lubben stated the commodity
is a revision and strengthening
of the old program. Under it now
are two programs the producer
can choose from, Agricultural
Risk Coverage (ARC) and Price

Loss Coverage (PLC). He noted
the PLC is the former countercyclical protection. ARC is a
substantial improvement, said
Lubben. It looks like a much
stronger safety net.
Under ARC a producer can
utilize the individual ARC which
is an individual whole-farm revenue guarantee program or a
county ARC which uses county
revenue on a commodity-bycommodity basis. Both have a 76
to 86 percent guarantee, he said,
but the individual has more calculations involved as a farm history has to be completed.
Three things need to be considered, said Lubben, prices versus
revenue, basis and yield. If it is
for a single crop, individual farm
ARC may be better.
For the basis and yield he said
this is a chance to update base
acreage as some have been stuck
at the 1985 levels. Lubben cautioned that more acres cannot be
added, but they can be reallocated, change crops and yields.
The PLC program will operate
similar to the former countercyclical program. If a crops seasonal average price falls below
the reference price they will be
paid the difference.
Another caution Lubben extended is that with the 2014
Farm Bill all acres have to be in
compliance with conservation
practices, this includes erodable
as well as wetland areas. Many
are grandfathered in, but any
new acres have to meet conservation guidelines.
Lubben noted that Conservation Reserve Program funds took
the biggest piece of the conservation funds. He said over the past
seven to eight years those acres
have declined with more acres
being put into operation. He
noted that the enrollment cap
has been reduced to 24 million
acres by 2017.
Crunching numbers to see
which programs work the best is
a must for every producer, he
said.
Disaster assistance, he said,
was reauthorized and funded
retroactive to 2012. Programs
are available for livestock, honey
bees, farm-raised fish, trees as
well as crops.
Grady and Bernice Crew,
Crew Agency, Philip, discussed
two risk management tools,

Livestock Risk Protection and
Pasture, Range and Forage, that
producers can utilize to their advantage. Both programs are relatively new within the last
three years or so. G. Crew noted
they have been cautious with
them, but over the last year or
two they have been working
well.
The Livestock Risk Protection
is a price insurance policy which
covers livestock price declines. G.
Crew noted that the policy can
be tailored to the sex, number of
head and age of the animal. It
gives us a lot of flexibility, he
said. It is a good program for
those with just a few head to
those with large herds, he noted.
Particpation in the program is
increasing as producers are becoming more comfortable with
the program.
Settlement prices are not
based on the auction price, but
on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange. Insurance periods from
13 weeks to 52 weeks out are
available. The amounts are also
based on the weight set when the
endorsement is made, not the actual market weight. Also if the
cattle are sold more than 30 days
before the contracts end date,
the contract becomes null and
void and no premium is refunded.
Some qualifications include
the animals must be owned by
the producer prior to purchase of

the insurance, the policy must
be in effect prior to pruchasing a
specific price endorsement and
the premium must be paid the
same day as the purchase was
made.
Pasture Range and Forage insures against a widespread loss
of rain in an area (a 12 square
mile grid). It may be purchased
for any perennial grass or hay
ground.
As long as the total is 100 percent the coverage may be split
into different two-month intervals, with at least 10 perent in
any one interval. The producer
also selects which parcels he
would like insured, he need not
insure his entire operation.
The coverage must be purchased in November prior to the
year coverage is desired. Losses
are paid when the final grid
index falls below grid index of
the person who is insured.
Quentin Riggins, an attorney
with Gunderson, Palmer Nelson
& Ashmore, Rapid City, outlined
estate planning.
The
first
question
a
farm/ranch owner must answer,
Riggins said, is what is their objective do they want to keep
the property within the family,
use the income for retirement,
nursing home planning or any
other objective.
Two options for keeping it in
the family is to form a limited li-
ability company or a limited liability limited partnership. Riggins said a LLLP has the
advantage of no fees or paperwork that goes with an LLC.
But, a partner must live on the
property and be actively involved with the operation.
An LLC, Riggins said, is more
flexible in that owners may be
added and can gift money to
children. Typically the parents
are named as managers and the
land is then leased back to them
for a nominal amount.
Riggins noted that while parents want to give each child a
fair share, it does create trouble
for the child who wishes to work
the property. When he wishes to
purchase his siblings share of
the property he has to pay fair
market value which creates a
high debt level.
In some cases the parents may
gift the children with money and
then the children can purchase
the rest. This aids the parents in
their retirement as well.
Riggins noted that South
Dakota does not have an inheritance tax. It was abolished in
the state legislature by amendment so it cannot be reinstated.
But there is a national inheritance tax, for anything over $5
million for one parent and $10
million for both parents. And
though this is recorded as a permanent amount, it can still be
changed by Congress.

USDA Announces Programs
to Conserve Sensitive Land
and Help Beginning Farmers
WASHINGTON, June 4, 2014
Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack today announced that farmers, ranchers and landowners
committed to protecting and conserving environmentally sensitive land may sign up for the
Conservation Reserve Program
(CRP) beginning June 9. The
Secretary also announced that
retiring farmers enrolled in CRP
could receive incentives to transfer a portion of their land to beginning,
disadvantaged
or
veteran farmers through the
Transition Incentives Program
(TIP).
CRP is one of the largest voluntary conservation programs in
the country, said Vilsack. This
initiative helps farmers and
ranchers lead the nation in preventing soil erosion, improving
water quality and restoring
wildlife habitat, all of which will
make a difference for future generations.
Vilsack continued, The average age of farmers and ranchers
in the United States is 58 years,
and twice as many are 65 or
older compared to those 45 or
younger. The cost of buying land
is one of the biggest barriers to
many interested in getting
started in agriculture. The Transition Incentives Program is very
useful as we work to help new
farmers and ranchers get
started.
The Conservation Reserve
Program provides incentives to
producers who utilize conservation methods on environmentally-sensitive
lands.
For
example, farmers are monetarily
compensated for establishing
long-term vegetative species,
such as approved grasses or
trees (known as covers) to control soil erosion, improve water
quality, and enhance wildlife
habitat.
CRP consists of a continuous

and general sign-up period.
Continuous sign up for the voluntary program starts June 9.
Under continuous sign-up authority, eligible land can be enrolled in CRP at any time with
contracts of up to 10 to 15 years
in duration. In lieu of a general
sign-up this year, USDA will
allow producers with general
CRP contracts expiring this September to have the option of a
one-year contract extension.
USDA will also implement the
2014 Farm Bills requirement
that producers enrolled through
general sign-up for more than
five years can exercise the option
to opt-out of the program if certain other conditions are met. In
addition, the new grassland provisions, which will allow producers to graze their enrolled land,
will enable producers to do so
with more flexibility.
The Transition Incentives
Program provides two additional
years of payments for retired
farmers and ranchers who transition expiring CRP acres to socially disadvantaged, military
veteran, or beginning producers
who return the land to sustainable grazing or crop production.
Sign up will also begin June 9.
TIP funding was increased by
more than 30 percent in the 2014
Farm Bill, providing up to $33
million through 2018.
As part of the 2014 Farm Bill,
participants meeting specific
qualifications may have the opportunity to terminate their CRP
contract during fiscal year 2015
if the contract has been in effect
for a minimum of five years and
if other conditions are also met.
The USDA Farm Service Agency
(FSA), which administers CRP,
will coordinate the various CRP
program opportunities. For more
information on CRP and other
FSA programs, visit a local FSA
county office or go online to
www.fsa.usda.gov.
Both the CRP and TIP were
reauthorized by the 2014 Farm
Bill. The Farm Bill builds on historic economic gains in rural
America over the past five years,
while achieving meaningful reform and billions of dollars in
savings for taxpayers. Since enactment, USDA has made significant progress to implement each
provision of this critical legislation, including providing disaster relief to farmers and
ranchers; strengthening risk
management tools; expanding
access to rural credit; funding
critical research; establishing innovative public-private conservation partnerships; developing
new markets for rural-made
products; and investing in infrastructure, housing and community facilities to help improve
quality of life in rural America.
