Proposed county budget cuts will affect services

Submitted by Chairperson Glen Bennett and
County Auditor Vicki Wilson
Earlier this year the Jackson County Commissioners adopted four Opt Out resolutions requesting additional funding each year for the
next three years: $250,000 for general operation of the county; $50,000 for repair of bridges
and replacement of signs; $50,000 to replace
the Kadoka county highway shop building; and
$50,000 to replace the Jackson County Library
/ CAP building. These resolutions were petitioned by the public to be brought to a vote of
the people. Each petitioned resolution was
placed on the June 3, 2014 Primary election
ballot and all were defeated. The Jackson
County Commissioners are now deciding which
county services will be cut or eliminated.
Citizens have also petitioned to have the
question on the November General election ballot Shall the County of Jackson provide public
library services? The outcome of this ballot
question will affect whether a new building or
new location will be needed for the library.
The Kadoka County Highway Shop building
has a structural crack in the east wall. Estimated cost to correct this is approximately
$14,500. Estimated cost to remove and replace
the roof is $44,500. No estimate received for removal of water damaged structural material
because of black mold.
The county has 22 bridges, of which 12 have
been cited as deficient in the last bridge inspection. There are 5 of the 12 bridges that need immediate repair or replacement. Engineering
and construction costs have not been obtained.
At the current time the county has
$117,132.00 in CDs. In March 2011 a CD in the
amount of $75,392 was cashed as the county
ran short of cash to pay bills prior to the normal
larger tax collection time in late April. The
county wants to return the $75,392 to a CD but
has not had excess funds to do so. Counties may
retain funds up to 40% of their General Fund
budget. The General Fund cash analysis for
March 31, 2014 showed an unassigned fund
balance of $0.00, which is 0.00% of the 2014
General Fund budget. For more than fifteen
years the county has had to use the monies in
CDs as revenue to fund the county budget as
no additional other revenue could be generated.
The county has been advised that they should
not be using the CDs to fund the budget. These
funds are to be held for situations where revenue sources are cut or eliminated. One example would be the federal PILT payment which
is the largest governmental revenue source of
the county. In 2012 Jackson County received
$264,501.00. In 2013 Jackson County received
$258,143.00, a lesser amount due to the federal
sequester. We have received notice that PILT
has been funded for one more year, 2014, but
no guarantee of future year funding. Another
example would be the need to replace a bridge.
The Willow Creek bridge replacement project

was completed in 2011 under a state / federal

bridge replacement project with two culverts
installed. The total cost was $409,903.89 and
the county match was $81,980.78 (20%), plus
an additional $10,834.24 to move an electrical
power line which was not included in the project costs. For this project the county did have
$31,216 designated in the Road and Bridge
Fund from multiple years of County Highway
& Bridge Reserve property tax revenue. To alleviate the situation of the county using the
revenues from CDs to fund the county budget,
the county would need at least $117,132.00 in
additional funding, and an additional $75,392
to increase the amount in CDs to at least the
2011 CD amount. This would be a total of
$192,524 in additional funding needed, or without additional revenue or an opt out this means
expenditure cuts of the amount $192,524 for
2015.
The 2014 Jackson County expenditure
budget is General Fund $1,291,706, Road &
Bridge $701,210, E-911 $48,000, Emergency
Disaster $18,765, Abuse Center $12,340, Courthouse Building $5,000, L.E.S.T. $2,150, Other
Grants $10,000, Modernization & Preservation
$10,700, Library Donations $15,085, L. E.
Equipment Replacement $10,000, Highway
Shop Building $25,000, and Road & Bridge
Equipment Replacement $100,000 for a total
county budget of $2,349,956.
The General Fund provides funding for
many of the county Special Revenue Fund
budgets. These amounts are shown as General
Fund expenditures. In 2014 the General Fund
provides the following funding to Special Revenue Fund budgets: Road & Bridge Fund
$217,140; E-911 Fund $13,923; Emergency Disaster Fund $8,456; Courthouse Building Fund
$4,947; L. E. Equipment Replacement $10,526;
Highway Shop Building $26,316; and Road &
Bridge Equipment Replacement $105,263. This
is a total of $386,571 in General Fund revenue
being transferred out to other funds and shown
as General Fund expenditures. Without the additional funding requested by opt outs, these
transferred amounts will be reduced as well as
expenditure cuts will need to be made to the
Special Revenue Fund expenditure budgets.
To generate funding for the transferred
amounts shown above the county levies property taxes, and for the years of 2004 (taxes due
in 2005) through 2008 (taxes due in 2009) the
county had an opt out of $100,000 each year.
For the years of 2009 (taxes due in 2010)
through 2013 (taxes due in 2014) the county
had an opt out of $150,000 each year. Cost of
operation has increased over the past ten years,
so the Commissioners made the resolution to
Opt Out for $250,000 for general operations.
Court costs have increased from $22,841 in
2005 to $53,179 in 2013; Jail costs $10,218 to
$50,288; Law enforcement gas $4,566 to
$16,761; and Highway fuel
$52,940 to

2014 road blading plan set

at commissioners meeting
Sarah DeVries
The Jackson County commissioners held a special meeting
June 11 at 1:00 p.m. to discuss
road work and tentative budget
cuts. In attendance were commissioners Glen Bennett, Ron
Twiss, Jim Stilwell, Larry
Denke, and Larry Johnston.
Vicki Wilson, Aaron Richardson,
and Sheriff Ray Clements Jr.
were also in attendance.
Richardson reported that Jon
Jones will be available in two to
three weeks to help fill in holes
with his backhoe, the east LongValley bridge is being inspected,
and they need a set of 1020 tires
re-capped. The wet weather and
lack of personnel have both
slowed progress on road repair.
Everythings back to square
one, said Richardson.
What weve paid to do seven
miles of road, we couldve done
30 if wed had the personnel,
said Bennett. The gravel isnt
doing us a bit of good in the
piles. The board agreed to adverstise for temporary/seasonal
CDL drivers; these positions
would not come with benefits but
would offer a higher wage. Board
members were dismayed by criticism of the countys large equipment purchases; What people
dont realize, said Bennett, is a
new vehicle purchased through
state bids cost a third less than
even a used one from a dealer
would cost and is more productive. Many manufacturers such
as Butler Cat also provide employees with a free training session on delivery of their

equipment.
The Board decided on a blading plan for 2014, prioritizing
the following FAS roads:
1. Allen Road
2. Cottonwood Road
3. South Creek Road
4. Belvidere (Cemetery) Road
5. White River Road
6. Long Valley Road (may contract out to have the blotter surface torn up and re-layed from
Hwy. 73 east to first bridge)
7. Fairview Road
After repair is complete on
these roads, the high-use county
roads will be high-priority (including Hamar, Eagle Nest, Red
Stone, Buzzard Butte). Due to
the unusually rainy weather,
only two to three miles of road
will be pulled up at a time
until/unless more gravel haulers
can be obtained.
Discussion was then held on
funding without the opt-outs.
Tentative budget cuts include
salaries, benefits for the board
members, library hours, animal
control, and highway funds. Another opt-out proposal may be
filed by July 15. If filed, a special
election would need to be held
prior to August 1, as that is when
the county needs to submit its
preliminary budget for 2015.
The cost of everything has gone
up, says Bennett.
The commissioners are holding another special meeting on
Friday, June 20, at 3:00 p.m. to
discuss the 2015 budget draft.
The next regular commissioners
meeting is scheduled for July 14
at 9:00 a.m.

$100,181. The GIS program was implemented

in the Director of Equalization office in the
amount of $51,654. In 2005 a roof was placed
on the courthouse at the cost of $32,329 and
$22,305 has been expended in the past four
years to replace windows in the courthouse. In
the past ten years total highway costs for the
following were: Outside contractors, $93,199;
Bridge material, $146,687; Culverts, $75,427;
Signs, $7,751; Radios, $21,413; Gravel royalty,
$117,765; Gravel crushing and stockpiling,
$604,353. Two 1985 Cat motorgraders have
been replaced in the past six years. In 2009 a
Cat 140M motorgrader was purchased through
a lease purchase program of $38,796 for six
years for a total cost of $232.776. In 2013 a
lease purchase agreement on a Cat 140M II motorgrader was entered into for a six year payment plan of $51,865 per year for a total cost of
$311,190.
Jackson County has 150 miles of county
highways and 435 miles of county secondary
roads. Minimal maintenance has been done on
the roads since the tax limitation was established eighteen years ago as Jackson County
can not levy enough additional for matching
funds on federally funded projects or for doing
a project on our own without federal funding.
Our last gravel crushing and stockpiling contract was for 20,000 ton of gravel at $3.75 per
ton, or $75.000.00. At 2,500 ton of gravel per
mile, this will gravel eight miles of road.
One new revenue source for Road and Bridge
has been the STP Swap Funds. These funds
have allowed the county to stockpile gravel in
the past three years and contract to have road
work done as the opt out amount was not sufficient. The STP funds have not been shown as
revenue in the annual budgets as there was no
guarantee future year funding would be available. Jackson County received $145,833.07 in
2011 and $145,833.07 in 2012. The 2012 Road
and Bridge budget was supplemented in the
amount of $291,666.14 with2011-2012 STP
funds to help cover cost for gravel crushing and
stockpiling $256,184; Guptill Bridge project
$50,987; Prokop Road project $27,814. Jackson
County received $139,466.10 in 2013 and has
just received $139,577.67 in 2014. Plans for the
2013-2014 accumulation of STP funding is to
get at least six major county highways in the
county bladed, shoulders pulled, and graveled
as needed. The current crew of three men are
working on this at this time. The county hopes
to hire two CDL licensed drivers at $25.00 per
hour to haul gravel on to these roads as they
are prepared. One hired contractor has completed hauling gravel in the southwest area of
the county, and another will soon begin hauling
gravel in the northeast area of the county.
The county would like to point out that there
is more traffic on county roads now than there
was twenty years ago.

School board meeting late

due to lack of quorum,
discussed heat at Midland
Robyn Jones
The Kadoka Area School Board meeting that was scheduled on
Monday, June 9 at 7 p.m. was not called to order until 8:06 p.m. due
to a lack of a quorum. Board members attending were Dan VanderMay, Ross Block, Dale Christensen, and Mark Williams. Dawn Rasmussen and Ken Lensegrav were absent.
Superintendent Jamie Hermann stated that a public meeting had
been held in Midland concerning the heat issue. Currently the classrooms are in the smaller building, but they do utilize gym in the
larger building for indoor recess, physical education class and school
programs.
It was the publics desire to be able to use both buildings, said
Hermann. Some of the issues are the kitchen is located in the
smaller building and relocating it to the larger building would be expensive and the smaller building also needs to be insulated. These
costs are above the cost of purchasing electric heat units that range
from $10,000 to $15,000 per unit, for each building, plus an additional $12,000 for the gym.
Hermann will compile quotes to move the kitchen to the larger
building and present them at the next meeting.
The boiler at the Interior School is also scheduled to be replaced.
A request for bids will be advertise and hopefully installed prior to
school.
Elementary Principal Jeff Nemecek presented information to the
board regarding the five-minute walk throughs. Over the year, 288
walk through visits were done at all the schools.
During these visits it was observed that 73 percent of the time
the teachers were conducting whole class instruction, said Nemecek.
Studies show that 60 percent of the students learn in a whole group
setting, so we can use this information to find other methods to reach
students and to educate them and meet their needs.
Policy committee presented a revised draft for the support staff
sick and personal leave. The change proposed was if the staff does
not use their time by the end of the year, they will not be compensated. Currently they are paid $20 per day for unused sick leave.
I personally feel that compensating them for unused leave is a
small incentive, said VanderMay, I dont feel we have any staff that
would abuse the policy, but it benefits the students to have the staff
here.
The policy will be referred back to the committee for further review.
Following an short executive session for personnel matters, a contract was approved to Mark DeVries for middle school football in the
amount of $0.00 and to Anita Riggins for special education aide for
the summer program in the amount of $10.00 per hour.
The end of the fiscal year meeting will be held on Monday, June
30 at 7 p.m.

Willert claims first place at Philip Matched Bronc Ride

Nancy Haigh

Jeff Willert, Belvidere, came out on top at Philips Invitational Matched Bronc ride, Friday,
June 13. During the first round Willert scored a 78 which was good enough to advance
him to the short go. Willerts ride in the short go scored 88 points.

by Del Bartels
The eighth annual Philip Invitational Matched Bronc
Ride, Friday, June 13, not only bucked the infamy of Friday
the 13th, but again drew a crowd as large as last year and
again drew some of the top names in rodeo saddle bronc riding according to event organizer Branden West.
The Philip roping arena was the site of 30 top Professional
Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA) cowboys trying to survive two progressive rounds of bronc riding to take top winnings. Over 45 broncs entertained the audience with 30
rides in the first round, six entries for the new non-professional ranch bronc ride, ending with the eight rides in the
CowBos short round, plus any re-rides granted to the professional cowboys.
Only seven cowboys didnt make their eight seconds in the
first round. The other 23 earned high points, ranging from
67 to a winning 79. Records show that throughout its eight
year history, the matched bronc ride in Philip has had cowboys lose with scores that could often be winning scores in
most other saddle bronc riding contests.
In the first round Travis Nelson, Philip, earned top honors
on top of the bronc Cherry Velvet for a score of 79. Losing the
tie but also with a 79, Ryan Elshere, Elm Springs, stuck to
Boogers Pet. Jeff Willert, Belvidere, stayed on top of Boogie
Girl for a score of 78. Also with 78s were Ty Thompson, Wanblee, on Hillbilly and Jeremy Meeks, Belle Fourche, cashed
in on Bandito Gold. Rounding out the eight cowboys to go on
to the CowBos short round were Louie Brunson, Interior, and
Jesse Bail, Camp Crook, with scores of 77, and Jamie Willert,
Kadoka, with a 76.
Using a western saddle instead of a bronc saddle, though
still on a professional bucking bronc, Sutton Jepsen, Wall,
won the ranch bronc ride. Joe Pavlas, Belvidere, earned
second place. Not doing so well, but showing the guts of trying, were Cap Herber, Kadoka, Ryan Burkinshaw, Hermosa, Lane Lamphere, Belle Fourche, and Brooks Joneson,
Rapid City.
The CowBos Short Round for the professionals saw the
lowest score being 81. Jamie Willert blistered through his
eight seconds on Cactus Moon and Thompson grabbed onto
Free Sample for such normally great scores, but not good
enough at the Philip Invitational Matched Bronc Ride. Covering a score of 82 on top of Big Wig was Meeks. Brunson and
the bronc Paint Chip scored an 84, but still not good enough.
Tying for third place with scores of 86 were Elshere staying
on top of Looking Good and Bail hanging through on Closing
Time. Second place in the 2014 bronc ride went to Nelson,
who scored an 87 while weathering the bronc Dark Cloud.
The top cowboy of the evening was Jeff Willert, staying on
Wiggle Worm for a top score of 88.

On this Fathers Day and

Mens Health Month A
Good Reminder about
the Importance of Preventive Health Care
June is Mens Health Month
and with Fathers Day just around
the corner, now is a good time to
remind men about the importance
of preventive health care. As a result of my personal prostate cancer experience, my family and I
are very much aware of the importance of early detection, as well as
getting appropriate care throughout the treatment process. Cancer
prevention, detection, and treatment are issues that strike particularly close to home for me and my
family.
Mens Health Month provides
an opportunity to encourage those
in our lives fathers, brothers,
sons, husbands, and friends to
exercise, eat healthy, and visit the
doctor for a screening. Cancer
screenings often detect the disease
in its early stages and can increase
the likelihood of successful treatment.
Increased access to preventive

services improves health care for

all Americans. More than 75% of
health care costs in the United
States result from chronic diseases, many of which can be prevented or better managed. New
consumer protections and the expansion of coverage through the
Affordable Care Act will help ensure that more Americans receive
recommended screenings and preventive services. In addition, the
Affordable Care Act makes unprecedented investments in preventive efforts through the
creation of the Prevention and
Public Health Fund. This initiative devotes resources to bolster
the public health infrastructure,
prevent and detect disease, and
manage chronic conditions before
they become severe.
I am a strong supporter of the
Prevention and Public Health
Fund and believe this funding has
already been effective in building
our public health infrastructure
and improving peoples health.
Since 2010, South Dakota has received more than $4.7 million in
grants from the fund to support
community prevention and public
health efforts throughout the

Lookin Around | Syd Iwan

Goals
Many of us have kind of a vague
idea that there are some things
wed like to still do in this lifetime.
They may not have any kind of priority, but we think they would
somehow be satisfying to accomplish. For instance, I have always
thought it would be nice to be able
to say Ive been to all fifty states.
Ive already been to a lot of them so
it wouldnt take much to visit the
rest, but that somehow just hasnt
yet happened.
Thanks to the Navy shipping me
around here and there, I have so
far managed to hit everything west
of here except Oregon. Ive floated
by that state, flown over it, and
been very close, but Ive never quite
stepped foot in it. The distant
states of Alaska and Hawaii have
already been visited, but Oregon is
a holdout. The Navy also got me to
all the southern states and some of
the northeast. Rhode Island was
where I spent four miserable
months in the winter becoming an
officer so I wouldnt have to go back
there necessarily. There are some
other little fellas in that area that
I did miss such as New Jersey and
Vermont, and Maine was never on
my itinerary. Then there are Wisconsin and Michigan which didnt
seem to ever be on a direct path to
anywhere I needed to go. Mostly,
then, I need to travel north and
east to accomplish having been in
all the states, but that project will
probably have to be on hold for a
little while yet. Maybe Ill never ac-

state. The Prevention and Public

Health Fund will continue to
make important investments in
health and prevention efforts in
South Dakota and throughout the
United States.
Biomedical research also plays
a critical role in understanding
human disease and its treatment.
As a longtime supporter of the National Institutes of Health and the
National Cancer Institute, our nations principal agency for cancer
research and training, I have supported efforts to increase funding
for these facilities. Maintaining
important investments in cancer
research will help bring our country closer to finding cures for devastating diseases.
Prevention is both cheaper and
more effective than treating illness after it strikes and I will continue working to protect and
support preventive health care
programs that encourage Americans to live healthier lives. During
Mens Health Month and as we
celebrate Fathers Day, lets make
sure the men in our lives receive
the preventive health care they
need.

It's a struggle every year. I rack

my brain trying to think of a Father's Day gift for Bryon that he
will really, really enjoy. There are
challenges. One being that he is
probably the most frugal person
that I know. He doesn't like to
spend a dollar that doesn't have to
be spent. This is a good thing, but
it also means that material items
don't mean a whole lot to him. If I
were to go out and buy him an expensive item, even one he has
talked about getting someday, I
would still see a bit of disappointment in his eyes because he just
didn't think it was necessary to
spend the money.
One Father's Day, the kids and
I went out and bought him a
brand new bike. He thought it was
too much and didn't act all that excited about it. His old bike may
have been covered in rust and
have a wobble in the back tire, but
it still got him through a Sunday
family bike ride. He graciously

love most about him is his tender
heart.
Father's Day is the perfect opportunity for me to stop for a moment and express to him how
grateful I am that our children
have such a father. He is a partner
in all I do and a helpmate through
peaceful and busy times. He's not
perfect, but he's perfect for me.
I hope you get the opportunity
soon to spend some time and visit
with the fathers in your life. My
dad has been with The Lord for 20
years now and I won't be able to
thank him for all he taught me
this Father's Day. But we are all
surrounded by dads that make
sacrifices every day for their families who we can spend a little
time with. Maybe even buy them
a cup of coffee or a piece of pie
after church. That is something to
be grateful for and I hope you take
advantage of the opportunity.
Happy Father's Day!

showed him all the latest and
greatest gadgets that have been
developed since his original bike
was built in the 1800's (maybe not
that old). That was almost a
decade ago and the "new" bike is
getting enough age on it that
Bryon is finally starting to enjoy
it.
So every year, the kids and I
discuss what this year's gift
should be. Only the discussion has
changed quite a bit. You see, we
learned through experience that
what Bryon really values is time
with his family. We don't have to
go shopping to make his Father's
Day perfect. We just need to slow
down for the day and enjoy being
together. Sure, there is always a
small gift waiting for him at the
kitchen table in the morning, but
what he smiles over are the cards
filled with words of appreciation
and love from those closest to him.
I love that about him.
Bryon has been a gift to me and
our children for many, many
years. I admire his work ethic, his

dont kick up much playing locally

for this and that, but being a concert pianist is a completely different story. It was hard enough
giving an hour-long senior piano
recital by memory in college. I dont
want to go through that sort of
thing ever again.
Neither do I want to go back to
any sort of school. Ive already
spent about 17 years of my life
doing that which will completely
suffice. Im not adverse to learning
new stuff but only those things Im
interested in or that will do me
some good. Tests and term papers I
can very well do without.
I have always vaguely thought I
should visit the island of Tahiti. Im
not sure why, but it sounds kind of
exotic and enjoyable. I can picture
myself sipping Coke under palm
trees, walking on the beach, getting
a nice tan and so on. I have actually
done that sort of thing inHawaii,
but going farther in the Pacific to
Tahiti just sounds adventuresome
and fun. I already have a valid
passport so all that is lacking is
time and money. Is there anybody
out there who would like to go with
me? We maybe could have quite a
blast. Lets put it on the calendar
and go before very long. What do
you say?
As you can see, several things
are on hold here for the time being.
They are still in my mind but so far
not quite to the planning stage just
yet. Tahiti has a good sound to it
though. Lets go there before very
long. Up, up and away. Paradise,
here we come.

complish it and maybe I will.

There are some foreign countries
I wouldnt mind visiting either
since I somehow have missed getting to France, Spain and Italy. I
liked Greece and England and
wouldnt mind going there again,
but there never seemed a good reason to go to Belgium. That is still a
country, isnt it? Places tend to
change and reorganize and I lose
track. The African countries have
practically all changed their names
since I took geography in school,
but I have no real need to go to any
of them anyway. Safaris are not on
my to-do list. If I want to see lions
and elephants, I can visit a zoo or a
circus.
Besides travel agendas, other
things I should do might include
writing a mystery novel. I started
one of those some ten to fifteen
years ago but so far have only gotten to chapter three. Id better
speed that process up or it may
never happen.
Many of us would also like to get
in better physical shape. You know,
lose a few pounds, exercise enough
to get a bit more stamina and so on.
This is complicated by laziness and
lack of self control, but it wouldnt
hurt to work on both of those
things. I do try occasionally to improve myself, but a more consistent
approach would be helpful.
Fortunately, there are a whole
lot of things I dont want to do. I
dont want to give a piano concert
in Carnegie Hall, for example. Can
you imagine the nervous strain of
something like that? My nerves

Proposed county budget cuts will affect services

Proposed county budget cuts,
cont. from Page 1
The county levies taxes for
county purposes, and other government entities in the county
(schools, towns, townships and
water district) present their levy
requests to the county and the
county levies taxes for them also,
collects the taxes and disburses
their money out to them monthly.
In 1995 the tax limitation was implemented by SDCL 10-13-35 and
the opt out was allowed in 1995 as
per SDCL 10-13-36. The tax limitation limits the amount a taxing
entity can levy to the total of the
Cost Price Index (CPI) percentage
plus the taxing entitys percentage
of growth of taxable property
value. Both these percentage figure vary every year. Jackson
County published a spreadsheet in
the February 6, 2014 issue of the
Kadoka Press showing the calculation of amounts allowed to tax
over prior year with the CPI and
growth percentages for the years
2007 tax due in 2008 through
2013 tax due in 2014. In 2004 (tax
due in 2005) the first $100,000
Jackson County opt out was
placed in effect for a five year period. In that year the county was
allowed to levy an additional
$11,279 for General Fund
($471,916) plus $99,948 in General Fund opt out, for total General Fund tax of $571,864. In that
year County Highway and Bridge
Reserve was allowed to levy $28
less for a total of $1,113, and Secondary Road was allowed to levy

every year on Fathers Day weekend since it started. Games were

held at both ball diamonds and
were being announced. The parking at the ball park in town was so
muddy that cars were lining both
sides of the street. Parking on the
north side of the Pioneer Store
were just as it used to be years ago.
In the evening, tents were set up
there too, which if it werent for the
rain, would have been a great idea.
Taco sales were held in several
places in the Blackpipe community
and the Pioneer Store was open
during all the games to accommodate the crowd.
Sixteen teams were entered in
the tourney. It would be worth your
while, to see Richard Charging
Hawk pitch. The Charging Hawks

Delores Bonenberger attended a
Fathers Day gathering in Kadoka
on Sunday at the home of her son,
Keith, and his wife, Pam. Others
there included Vern and Hellen
Uhlir, Brett and Kade Bonenberger
and Kades fianc, Kayla, and Kipp
Magelky. Bretts wife, Nikki, was
working at Martin that day and the
next and couldnt come. The kids
were with Nikkis folks over at
Philip. Keith had to cook his own
Fathers Day meal as far as the barbecuing went, and it was good. Delores said Brett, Kade and Kipp are
all busily working on their entry for
the outhouse race next weekend in
Kadoka. Kipp is sponsoring it in
connection with his trucking business. They were particularly working on getting the wheels properly
balanced to attain the greatest
speed possible. Delores said the
Belvidere Alumni gathering is currently scheduled for next weekend
as far as she knows in addition to
the Kadoka alumni event that
weekend as well. The Belvidere
event is usually on the last Sunday
of June, but this year it seems to
have been scheduled for the fourth
Sunday which isnt the last in this
month of five Sundays. A noon picnic in the park is scheduled and so
on. It is also advertised more as a
community picnic this year instead
of strictly alumni, but it is a continuation of the normal alumni event
with everyone invited.
Delores also said she wasnt able
to make it to the wedding of her
great nephew, Pete Reimann, that
took place in Glendive, Montanalast Saturday. The Reimann
clan all gathered there including
Rick and Rayma and their sons
which would include Belvidere resident, Rudy. Pictures of the wedding were available on the Internet
and Facebook. Pete and his brothers were attired in jeans, blue
shirts, black hats, and boots. They
all had a flower pinned to their
shirts. There was also a good photo
of Rick and Rayma and family.
Larry Grimme was visited this
weekend by his son, Steve, of Yankton. Steve came on Saturday with
Larrys granddog, Phoenix. They
came as a Fathers Day visit but
could only stay until Sunday. The
guys came to church on Sunday in
Larrys 69 Chevy Nova which is a
snazzy two-door model that was
mostly considered Lois Grimmes
car since she drove it the most.
Larry bought it from the proverbial
little old lady who drove it very little and took good care of it. When
he got it, it had very few miles and
even sort of a new-car smell.
Merry Willard has had a busy
week with family. Her folks, Rollie
and Dorothy Bickel, came from Mobridge for a few days, and daughter,
Coleen, was still here with her

senior-high. Chad Eisenbraun is

the head senior-high coach and
took more boys to the camp as well.
Jody Sudbeck helps coach too but
couldnt get away for the camp this
year. Mark has been helping with
the camp for a number of years
now, probably seven years or so,
and takes along any son that happens to be eligible by being in the
right age group. Nicci DeVries and
her other two sons stayed home to
take care of things there. Nicci said
it is too wet to hay right now anyway so Mark wont have to feel
guilty about being gone and not
doing that.
Jami Addison is following in her
mothers footsteps (Georganns) as
far as barrel racing goes. She recently competed in the Winner regional high-school rodeo and won
fifth which qualifies her to be in the
state high-school rodeo in Belle
Fourche from June 19th to the
22nd. A picture of her on her horse
rounding a barrel was on the front
page of the Murdo Coyote last
week. The headline above the photo
read, Addison qualifies for state
rodeo.
Chuck Fortune headed out this
week to do some haying but then
spotted a big incoming rain. He
quickly turned around and just
barely made it back to the shop before the heavens opened with a
heavy downpour. Haying is therefore on hold for Chuck and many
others until the monsoon season
has given over.

then traveled to Nebraska to return
Faron and Riley to their dad, Casey,
and get in a good visit with Casey.
On Wednesday, Coleen went to
Philip and picked up her grandma
Pat Willard and brought her to the
ranch. She later returned Pat to
Philip and took her out for supper
at the Steakhouse. On Saturday,
Merry headed west to take Coleen
and Frankie home to Pinedale,
Wyoming. She took the horse
trailer as Coleen had bought
Frankie a miniature mule here that
needed to go back. Since she had
the horse trailer, her return trip
was scheduled to take a moose head
belonging to Coleens husband. It
was to be dropped in Gillette to be
made into a trophy wall hanging.
Chuck Willard couldnt make all
the journeys due to work that
needed doing, but he got to visit
with everyone there at home.
Merry is expected back to a quieter
ranch early this week.
Marie Addison was visited in
Murdo by her daughter, Rena, last
week. Rena was on her way to
Lawrence, Kansas to visit her
daughter and granddaughter.
Marie went along last year on a
similar journey but decided to pass
on that prospect this year.
Mark DeVries and his middle
son, Geoffrey, went to Chadron, NE
on Sunday to attend a football
camp there until Wednesday. Mark

Junes garden, and June kept the
grandkids busy mowing the lawn.
June has been busy planting garden. It has been so cool and wet
that her garden wont be behind either, because it has been too cool
for stuff to grow.
Stan Allard of Rapid City visited
his mother, Maxine Allard, on
Wednesday and did many errands
for her.
The Ring co-operation branded
on Wednesday so June was busy
keeping grandkids. She also met
up with the Mellette County Cattlewomen at Stoddards gate and
help serve roast beef sandwiches to
the Bikers for Ranch Relief as they
traveled across the state on Highway 44. She figured they fed
around 100 bikers.
Thursday,

and met up with Rachels longtime
college friend and family. Friday
they all played tourist and went to
Evans Plunge and toured the
Mammoth Cave before heading
home for the Jake Ring family reunion on Saturday at Norris.
Rain is the name of the game
around here these days. Friday
night the storm clouds gathered
once again and the lightning

we received an inch of rain just like
that. Saturday morning it rained
another inch and let up a bit. Then

Grow 66/125 project celebrates South Dakota history
Jackson County received a visit
from the Grow 66/125 committee
on Monday, June 16. The project
plans to commemorate South
Dakotas 125 year anniversary by
donating an oak tree to each of the
66 counties. Soil will be gathered
from each counys designated
plant site and then placed on display at the state Capitol in Pierre,
along with 66 burr oaks. The display will run from July until the
third week in August, after which
the soils will be blended together
and distributed back to each
county along with a tree.
Grow 66/125 was the brainchild
of art student Altman Studney,
who has been working with South
Dakotas Bureau of Administration and local conservation districts to implement the project.
Studney stopped at Kadoka before
heading on to Philip and Wall.
Many of the plant sites are county
courthouses, public parks or libraries. Says Studney, Whats
been, not surprising so much, but
really affirming, is how a lot more
than 66 people have gotten involved with the project.
Pictured: Altman Studney gathers planting soil at the Jackson County
Courthouse.

Church
I have noticed lately that I have
been getting in trouble with the
Gracious Mistress of the Parsonage, at least more than normal. I
am at the stage of life where this
kind of thing needs to be brought to
a bare minimum.
At the end of each month my
wife will quiz me as to if I have paid
all of the bills. In my rhetorical answer is always, "I sure did, my
lady." Then I will bow before her.
For some reason she does not get
the humor of that.
My job is to pay the bills and her
job is to make sure the end of the
month I have paid the bills. This
has been our relationship for longer
than I can recall.
Every once in a while I get in a
little tickle mode and dramatically
declare that I forgot to pay the bills
for the month. "Oh my, what will
we do?"
The first time I did that, she
threw a smile in my direction. I
dramatically would catch it and put
it in my pocket.
I notice she has not been throwing smiles at me lately. Honestly,
who can blame her?
It was towards the middle of the
month when the cable went dead.
We had no telephone, TV or Internet service. The first thing my wife
said was, "You did pay the Comcast
bill, didn't you?"
I put on my regular show and assured her that I did.
We had to call the Comcast Company, but as it stood, we had no
telephone service. Fortunately, my
wife had her cell phone and called

the Comcast Company to see what

the problem was, maybe the service
had gone out in our neighborhood.
One thing about my wife getting
on the telephone for such a thing as
finding out why we had no service
is that she does not have patience.
She hates being put on hold. I hate
her being put on hold because she
usually takes out her frustration on
me.
Now, what do I have to do with
that? After all, I did pay the bill. In
fact, I went to the checkbook and
showed her the number of the
check and the amount of the check.
"There," I said most adamantly, "I
paid the bill."
After about 45 minutes of waiting rather impatiently, my wife finally connected with the service
representative who was able to help
her. I did not hear the conversation,
but I knew it must have been quite
serious because I could see in her
face that she was getting angrier by
the minute.
"We paid our bill on time," she
protested in a very stern manner.
"My husband has the check number
to prove that he wrote the check
out."
I was sitting in my easy chair
going through my briefcase enjoying the drama that was unfolding
before me. I love it when somebody
is in trouble and that somebody is
not me. I must confess it does not
happen that often, but when it does
happen, I take full advantage of it.
I was gloating just a little bit and
feeling pretty good about myself.
I had my briefcase and was sorting out some papers and getting
ready for the next day when I ran
across a bunch of envelopes. I
looked at them, then looked over at

In the Kitchen
No-Crust Blueberry Pie
Ingredients
Fruit:
5 c. blueberries, fresh or frozen
(unthawed)
4 T. sugar (or more to taste)
3 T. flour
Topping:
1/2 c. rolled oats
1/2 c. packed brown sugar
1/4 c. all purpose flour
1/4 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 c. butter
1/4 c. coconut

Directions
1. Combine flour and sugar in a
large bowl. Add berries and mix.
Pour into 8 - 9 inch glass cake dish
or deep dish pie plate. Let sit while
preparing topping.
2. Combine oats, brown sugar,
flour and cinnamon in a bowl.
3. Add cold butter to topping mixture. Using a pastry cutter cut
butter into flour mixture until it
mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir coconut into topping mixture.
4. Sprinkle topping mixture over
berries in pie plate. Bake in a 375
degrees oven for 30 - 35 minutes.
This can be served with ice cream
or whipping cream is desired.

my wife, and then looked back at

the pile of envelopes and all of the
color drained from my face. I could
not believe what I found in my
briefcase.
There in a neat bundle where all
of the bills I had written out for the
previous month. The checks had
been written, signed and placed in
the proper envelope with a postage
stamp on it. All of the bills for the
month were there staring at me
with such vicious eyes as I have
never seen before.
What will I do now?
I knew I had to face the music
and it was not a song I enjoyed. I
picked up the envelope with the
Comcast bill address on the front,
took it over to my wife as she was
on the phone to the Comcast representatives, laid it on her lap and
then walked away.
"I know my husband paid the bill
because he pays this bill every
month."
Then she noticed the envelope I
had placed in her lap, she turned
around and stared at me a stare I
have not had from her in a very
long time.
"Just a minute," I heard her say
to the other person on the phone,
and then she looked at me. Then it
came. "Is this the bill you were supposed to send out last month?"
Lying at this moment would not
have been productive in any fashion.
She opened the envelope and
there was the check dutifully written out to the Comcast Company.
She was able to pay the bill over the
phone and then it would be my turn
to pay.
David who got in a lot of trouble
understood this when he wrote, "I
acknowledged my sin unto thee,
and mine iniquity have I not hid. I
said, I will confess my transgressions unto the LORD; and thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin.
Selah" (Psalms 32:5).
Swallowing pride or eating crow
is not my idea of a delightful repast
but it can be the beginning of something good.

Pastor Al Brucklacher,
age 84 of Philip, S.D., died
June 9, 2014, at his home
in Philip.
Alvin Perry Brucklacher was born January
16, 1930, in Freeman,
S.D., the son of John F.
and Edna E. (Downer)
Brucklacher. Alvin grew
up in Turner County 11
miles southeast of Freeman. He attended school
at Salem Township District #47. Before he
started grade school his
mother was given a message from God, that her
son, Alvin, was going to
grow up to be a minister,
but she never told him, because
she did not want him to be a minister because she said so. He was
baptized as an infant and confirmed when in the 8th grade. He
went to Freeman Public High
School from where he graduated
in 1948. The call came to him to be
saved by the Lord Jesus Christ,
and accept Him as his person savior in 1946. To him the only way to
serve Christ, beyond the farm
fence was to become a minister.
After graduating from high school
he went to Augustana College in
Sioux Falls, to begin post graduate studies to become a minister.
After two years, he was failing
academically. He then decided to
go to Bible school and get a Biblebased life. He went to Lutheran
Bible Institute at Minneapolis,
Minn. While he was there, he took
a course in How to Study. After
a year he returned to Augustana
College and applied what he had
learned and came up with As and
Bs. He was able to play sports
again and academically increased.
With summer school he was able
to achieve enough points to graduate with an honorable bachelor
of arts degree.
Thus having obtained his degree from Augustana College in
1953, and while working for Ralph
Nelson in 1952, he met and married Ralphs sister, Lenore. They
were married June 26, 1953.
Al attended Lutheran Theological Seminary in the fall of 1953
and while there they were paid for
taking care of a retired minister
and his wife, a short distance from
the seminary in St. Paul. After attending the seminary they were
placed on internship at Stanley,
N.D. Lenore and Al and their
three children lived in the basement of the SS building. Upon
completion of their internship, Al
went back to seminary to finish
his final years of study. Lenore
and the family stayed in a temporary parsonage at Ross, located
seven miles west of Stanley. Al

Church Events:

was called to continue serving

Bethlehem Lutheran Church in
Ross while attending seminary
and commuted every two weeks
back to Ross to preach. Upon finishing his studies, he received a
Master of Theology and was ordained in his home congregation,
Salem Lutheran Church in 1957.
While he was there, his mother
bared her heart and told him she
knew since 1934, that he was
going to be a minister. They wept
and hugged each other. His first
baptism to perform upon ordination, was his fourth son John in
1957, while living in Ross. He
served three congregations, Bethlehem Lutheran of Ross, First
Lutheran of Manitau, and First
Lutheran of White Earth. While
there, they helped build a new
parsonage at Ross, a new church
at Manitau, and the congregation
thrived in attendance. In 1960,
they received and accepted a call
from Florence and moved to serve
four congregations, St. Pauli of
Wallace, Godue of Florence, Helgen of Florence, and Bergen of
South Shore, all in South Dakota.
While there, Helgen was closed
and moved to Florence where the
pastor lived. It was called New
Helgen and provided a place for
the parish office and meetings. It
has been remodeled many times
since.
Upon serving there for seven
years, they moved to Philip in
1967, to serve Trinity Lutheran
Church of Grindstone, Hilland
Lutheran north of Philip, and
First Lutheran Church of Philip,
all in South Dakota. In 1972, Al
and Lenore lost a son, and after 18
years of intense ministry, he was
headed for burn out and left the
church for a self-employment carpenter task in 1974. He took a
leave for a working sabbatical.
Then in 1976, he was asked to
serve as a part-time pastor and
travel from his ranch to the place
of need. This was the beginning of
another 25 years of renewed ministry. He travelled to churches in
need of part-time commuting itinerate minister under the title,
Mr. Ecumenical, have Bible will
travel. It led him to acquire eight
congregations and pastors who
needed help.
Pastor Al went to the St. Paul
School of Theology for six weeks in
1979 and became a licensed pastor
and served under the UMC as a
modern day circuit rider. Pastor Al
traveled to congregations in Inte-

rior, Faith, Wall, Philip,

Rapid City, Belle Fourche,
Humboldt, and Tulare. He
received his second wind
from the Holy Spirit. His
goal was to get all church
together and heal their differences.
Pastor Al was a whiz at
getting people together,
and through the guided
discovery in small groups
talking about their differences one by one, needs assessment, set their goals,
and pursue. In the early
1970s, he received the Boy
Scouts High honor of the
Wood Badge, and was
trained in the Competencies of Leadership. He attended
summer school in Ft. Collins, Colorado and took a course in Steps
from Idea to Action. He also took
an extension course from the University of Spearfish called Group
Dynamics. He used the power of
the Holy Spirit together with the
help of these courses to enable
people to arrive at the solutions to
congregational growth. Where
ever he went the congregations increased in attendance, building
expansions, growth, and outreach
to serve the Risen Lord Jesus
Christ, with listening love.
Grateful for having shared his
life include his wife Lenore of
Philip; four sons Mark (Carla)
Brucklacher of Wall, John
(Linda)Brucklacher of Windsor,

Inspiration Point
The Most Important Thing
Luke 11: 2-4 - So He said to them, When you pray, say: Our Father in
heaven, Hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come. Your will be done on earth
as it is in heaven. Give us day by day our daily bread. And forgive us our sins,
For we also forgive everyone who is indebted to us. And do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.
Many of us have redesigned prayer to fit in with the busyness of our lives
and to make us more comfortable. We have organized it to suit ourselves, and
in the process, weve forgotten what the heart of prayer really isour relationship with the Lord.
Prayer is to be a time of separation from the world in order to be with God.
It occurs when we surrender our schedules, our priorities, and ourselves to the
joy of drawing near to our Father in heaven. Its a time to experience His love
and express ours to Him; to remember that life is centered on Jesus and that
our priority is to obey Him. Its where our souls are nourished and we gain
strength to continue.
For us as children of the King, prayer is the means by which we communicate
with Him about needs, work, desires, and even our mistakes. It is also one of
the primary ways for us to receive His responses. Most importantly, its a time
to bask in the presence of God our Father and Jesus our Saviorand to be
guided by the Holy Spirit in heavenly conversation.
The value of prayer is seen in the life of Jesus. He often withdrew from the
crowds and even from His own disciples in order to spend significant time with
His Father. What value do you place on praying? Whom or what do you seek
through your prayers? How often do you enter the throne room just to spend
time with your Father? Commit to seeking a prayer life like the Saviorswith
God Himself as your focus and top priority.

The Board of Jackson County Commissioners met in special session at 3:00

p.m., Wednesday, May 21, 2014 in the
Commissioners Room of the Jackson
County Courthouse, Kadoka, SD. Chairman Glen Bennett called the meeting to
order with members Larry Denke, Larry
Johnston, Jim Stilwell and Ron Twiss
present.
The purpose of the meeting was to attend to matters that have arisen and hold
a public information meeting at 7:00 p.m.
on the county proposals to opt out of the
tax limitation for a three year period.
All motions carried unanimously unless
otherwise noted.

Report was made on the proposed Badlands National Park and Tribal Bison
Plan for the South Unit of the Badlands
National Park. Twiss reported that their
master plan could extend the area to run
bison as far east as Hwy. 73. Shannon
County has invited other counties to attend a public meeting on the Bison Plan
on May 28, 2014 at 4:00 p.m. at the
Prairie Winds Casino.
Report was made on road repair needed,
a cattle guard needing repaired and that
the repair shop in Winner is looking for
bearings for the old loader.
The S. D. Dept. of Transportation notified
counties of the Industrial Park and AgriBusiness Grant program.
Discussion was held on purchasing two
portable generators for the Highway Department. Twiss moved, Stilwell seconded, that two 3,000 watt generators be
purchased at Runnings at $330 each.
Report was made that no applications
have been received for Highway Superintendent or Highway Worker.
Information prepared for the public meeting this evening was reviewed.
The board recessed at 5:00 p.m. and reconvened at 7:00 p.m. to hold a public information meeting on the county
proposals to opt out of the tax limitation
for a three year period. The four opt outs
are on the June 3, 2014 Primary election
ballot. Nine persons from the public were
in attendance.
Information was presented on the proposed three year opt outs. The Commissioners have proposed $250,000 for
general purposes which can be designated to other funds such as the Road
Fund and can be designated for specific
purposes, and also $50,000 for a library
building, $50,000 for a highway shop
building, and $50,000 for bridge repair
and replacement of signs. This proposal
would be a total opt out of $400,000 each
year for three years.
Information was presented that Jackson
County opted out of the tax limitation in
2004 for $100,000 each year for five
years (2005 through 2009), and in 2009
Jackson County opted out of the tax limitation for $150,000 each year for five
years (2010 through 2014).
Information was presented for tax years
2008 through 2014 showing CPI (Cost
Price Index) percentage, county growth
percentage, the amounts the county was
allowed to levy over the previous years
taxable amount, and county levies per
year. Report was made that the CPI was
2.10% in 2013 for taxes payable in 2014,
and is 1.40% in 2014 for taxes payable
in 2015. In 2014 the county was allowed
to levy an additional $23,173 over the
prior year. Using the new CPI of 1.40%
and last years growth percentages the
amount the county can levy for 2015 is
only$19,729. If the countys growth is
lower, the amount the county can levy
will be lower than the $19,729.
Total tax collections by the county for the
year 2014 are $2,073,700.00. County
$771,461.56 (.3720); Secondary Road
$30,959.93
(.0149);
Schools
$992,722.96
(.4787);
Townships
$1,662.45 (.0008); Towns $269,720.03
(.1301); Water $7,141.72 (.0035); Telephone O C L $31.36 (.0000).
Report was made that information was
prepared and published in February
showing example by taxing district of a
$50,000 opt out increase to property
taxes. The amount of a $50,000 increase
in tax on property value of $10,000 would
be $2.75, and on property value of
$100,000 would be $27.50.
Report was made on repairs needed at
the Kadoka highway shop building and
Library building, bridges needing replaced, and increased cost of court appointed attorneys and jail costs.
Liz May, State Representative District
27, was present. She inquired as to
whether the opt outs would fix the
countys financial situation. The board informed her that it would not. Discussion
was held on the amount of PILT (Payment in Lieu of Tax) the county receives
from the federal government. Report was
made that the amount was reduced in
2013 due to federal cuts. The board informed those present of Jackson County
Resolution 2013 20 which was sent to
the governor, state legislators, and U. S.
Senators and Representatives on counties obtaining federal funding on tribal
lands similar to PILT. Bennett County had
passed such a resolution and asked
other counties to do the same. The state
legislature enacted a joint resolution supporting Jackson County and other counties in South Dakota which are impacted
by tribal lands and requested that federal
funding to counties be established for
tribal lands. Discussion was held on returning federal lands to private ownership
thus getting them back on the tax roles.
Report was made on the proposed Badlands National Park and Tribal Bison
Plan for the South Unit of the Badlands
National Park. The board reported that
their master plan could extend the area
to run bison as far east as Hwy. 73.
Denke moved, Twiss seconded, that the
meeting be adjourned. The next regular
meeting of the board will be held 9:00
a.m., Friday, June 6, 2014.

anyone would be interested in attending
the joint convention in August. He gave
an update on the Midland school heat, he
has met with West Central Electric and
been given different options for the heating of the buildings at Midland. He asked
that the board consider the different options, so that a decision could be made

Alfalfa Weevils in
New Alfalfa?
Alfalfa weevils made their appearance late this spring, but did
arrive. Having seen a number of alfalfa fields already cut, and hearing
of several producers spraying for
weevils, this column will come out
in print after many management
decisions have been made.
One producer recently called
with a question that merits addressing for this year and/or future
reference. He mentioned an established (@ 3 years?) field being infested with alfalfa weevils (some
shot-holing in the upper leaves). Although the field was too muddy to
cut at the time he called, it was beginning to bloom, and his plan was
to cut it as soon as the soil dried
enough to do so, a good plan. With
the shortest pre-harvest interval of
any insecticide labeled for alfalfa
being 7 days, he will likely be able
to harvest the crop sooner than if
he had sprayed it. He was advised
to watch for weevils feeding on the
regrowth and to consider applying
an insecticide if necessary. With the
abundance of soil moisture present
in most areas, regrowth should
occur soon after cutting if weevils
are not present in high enough
numbers to hold it back.
His concern was with the newly
seeded alfalfa next to the established field, and whether the weevils would infest that and damage
the stand. The answer is, highly
unlikely, and lies in the life cycle of
the alfalfa weevil and when the
various stages occur. In South
Dakota, the adult alfalfa weevil
emerges in mid-late June, after the
pupa stage, hibernates/aestivates
over the summer, feeds a little in
the fall, and survives the winter in
protective cover. When temperatures warm in the spring, the
adults become active, mate, and
the females lay eggs in new alfalfa
stems. When enough heat units
have accumulated, the eggs hatch,
the larvae feed until they grow
large enough to pupate and the

cycle continues.
Established fields are the prime
target for egg laying adult females,
as newly seeded alfalfa plants are
quite small when egg laying occurs
and would not be appealing. The
larvae have very limited mobility,
and cannot travel very far to find
lush alfalfa, like the newly seeded
field, if their field is harvested.
Adult alfalfa weevils can fly well
enough that an alfalfa field in its
second year is about as vulnerable
to egg laying and larval feeding as
a well-established field, and merits
scouting in the spring. Many producers have experienced some degree of relief from alfalfa weevils by
planting a grass-alfalfa mix instead
of a pure stand of alfalfa.

Each year since 1991, SDSU

Extension has conducted an Agriculture Land Value Survey to provide South Dakotan's with an
unbiased look at average land values and rental rates across the
state.
"For a market economy to be efficient, information is important.
When we are talking economics,
that information is prices; and
prices are what this survey provides," said Kim Dillivan, SDSU
Extension Crops Business Management Field Specialist.
Dillivan said the 2014 survey
data showed a trend change in
land values and rental rates across
the state.
"Overall, while land values and
rental rates are up from last year,
2014 results show some of the lowest increases compared to recent
years," he said. "Percent-wise, the
increases were only in the single
digits. Whereas, in each of the last
three years surveys showed increases around 15, 20 or 30 percent."
He said the small increase in
agriculture land value and rental
rates is most likely related to price
declines in the 2013 corn, soybean
and wheat markets. Small increases in values and rents might
also be related to the fact that alternative investments are available.
"We know that individuals who
don't farm or ranch buy South
Dakota land as an investment.
Now that the housing market has
come around and the stock market
has improved, we speculate investors are looking to invest in
other areas," Dillivan said.
The survey includes price information on land used for crops, hay,
pasture and forage. It includes average sale prices as well as rental
rates. To gain a clear and unbiased
picture of South Dakota land values, SDSU surveys individuals
from across the state; from realtors, lenders, appraisers and assessors to farm managers, SDSU
Extension personnel and USDA
Farm Service Agency staff. This
year's survey included feedback
from 224 individuals.
"Providing unbiased information is always our focus. We believe
the folks we interview have good
knowledge and no reason to over
or under value their responses,"
Dillivan said.
Once survey information is
gathered, Dillivan helps review
the data and calculates averages
for eight regions and each county
or county cluster throughout
South Dakota.
The 2014 survey results are
complete and now available on
iGrow.org.
