Soil experts, farmers look into saline-sodic soil problems

Farmers across South Dakota,
especially in the east and the
James River Valley, are seeing an
increase in salinity and sodic soil
problems. Out on the landscape,
the white spots on the soil surface
without vegetation are identified
as saline soils that have high
salts, while sodic soils have high
sodium levels.
At a July 8, 2014 field day near
Pierpont, SD, farm groups hosted
experts from the USDA Natural
Resources Conservation Service
(NRCS), South Dakota State University (SDSU) and about 120
farmers to take a close look at
what is happening with water
movement within the soils of
those problem areas. As part of a
Conservation Innovation Grant
from NRCS, North Dakota State
University and SDSU are exploring salinity and sodicity treatment practices. The universities
are tracking soil performance
under various management options and researching alternatives
such as using amendments to im-

prove infiltration, especially in

the affected areas that are tiled.
Much of SDSUs research and the
discussions that day where about
successes.
How those areas are managed,
i.e., crop rotation, use of a no-till
system or conventional tillage, tile
drainage, etc., affects the productivity. NRCS Conservation Agronomist Jason Miller, Pierre, told
the crowd that managing soil
moisture or water stored in the
soil throughout the year is important to keep the fields productive.
The high salinity/sodic problem is
caused by a combination of soils
that have high salt concentrations
deep in the soil profile and then
not growing a crop to utilize the
majority of soil moisture received
throughout the year. The management made the natural function of water movement in soils
quit working properly, Miller explained. So, in essence, the
water table begins to rise in some
areas because the cropping has
been changed to an annual crop

versus a perennial vegetation.

While other areas, it is water coming or nearing the soil surface on
a sidehill, or what we call a saline
seep. Both occur when the cropping system that is employed does
not use enough of the moisture.
At the field day, Dave Gillen
who farms in Aurora County, SD,
explained how he is dealing with
some of the areas through seeding
perennial vegetation to try to get
these areas producing again.
With corn prices this year, Gillen
says his strategy is to get the soil
and water movement back working properly so when there is an
upswing in corn prices, those
areas could potentially be planted
again.
Understanding water movement
through those soils and using
farming practices that mimic nature to better manage plant available water will speed recovery
and get saline or sodic soils producing any return, Miller explains.
Just tiling a corn and soybean

field to try to move water isnt the

answer because in a salinity/sodic
area, the overall soil ecosystem
has been damaged and isnt functioning correctly, says Miller.
Youve got to address the whole
of the situation. Those areas need
a perennial crop that will tolerate
the salinity/sodicity soil to use the
available soil water.
Conventional tillage systems
destroy soil structure and the
macropores that are essential for
water
movement,
explains
Miller, so eliminating tillage will
help the soils physical, biological
and chemical properties. Tillage
makes the problem worse because
it dries the surface which results
in more salts accumulating at the
soil surface from the capillary rise
of soil water from the disturbed
area.
Soil microbes need food. Corn
and soybeans are not growing in
these areas so theres no food for
the microbes to function. Miller
recommends planting a barley or
rye at the minimum, but peren-

nial vegetation for a minimum of

3-5 years would be best. Monitoring through soil tests will document the soil health benefits.
Managing for healthier soils
can be complex task with longterm implications. If youre seeing
problems with your soil and production, get help, says Miller.
Increasing organic matter to
get better use of water in those
areas can be done by eliminating
tillage and keeping living roots
growing longer throughout the
year. Miller says, Crops, like
corn and soybeans, use water in
the soil for a limited time so
adding cover crops use more moisture and to feed the soil will help.
Diversifying crop rotations or
other alternatives such as seeding
perennial vegetation will also help
to bring back proper soil function.
An area could also be entered into
the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) under continuous
sign-up. NRCS can help farmers
determine the best option for
these resource concerns.

Murdo City Council makes new parking rules on service road

by Tami Jo Newbold-Flynn
The Murdo City Council met
Monday July 7 in regular session.
First up in the public area were
several people there on behalf of
the Jones County 4-H club. Jacob
Lolley asked the council if the
Prairie Ranger club could use the
pool and the tennis courts after 4H achievement days. He said that
Bev Ball had already said that she
didnt have a problem with it if the
council said it was alright, which
they did.
Next up was Kaycee McDaniel,
new 4-H advisor for Jones County
introducing herself to the council
members. Then LeAnn Birkeland
asked if they could have permission to use the citys tractor during achievement days, the council
said that was fine and Birkeland
and Ray Erikson were going to get
the details worked out at a later
date.
Also during the public area
were Jim and Michele McNeely

and Tom and Linda Michalek discussing with the council options
and ideas about an older mobile
home that Michaleks bought from
McNeelys. After much discussion
it sounded like the next step
would involve having a public
hearing, particularly, if Michaleks
decide to fix the mobile home and
move it.
Building and/or teardown permits were issued to June Guthier,
Melony Gyles, Gerald Mathews,
Mel Kessler and David Geisler.
Dale Convey also applied for a
permit, but the city decided they
would need more information before they could approve the permit.
Jerry Hathaway gave the street
report. Hathaway told the council
that Bob Iverson had inquired
about parking his trailer in the
citys lot during the road construction on the street next to his
house. The council recommended
that if he signed a waiver saying

they werent responsible for his

trailer than something could
probably be worked out. They
also had a very lengthy discussion about the parking situation
in front of a couple local busi-

nesses on the access road for

Kennedy Ave. It was finally decided that they would put up
signs depicting a couple of different rules for parking on that access road.

Ray Erikson gave the water report and said they have been
doing lots of mowing and Krysti
Barnes gave the finance report.
Barnes said they got their audit
report back in record time.
In old business the council
briefly discussed the law enforcement grant and the situation with
the county. The general concensus
was that the city is over it and if
the county wants to have any kind
of deal with them about the officers then the county is going to
have to come to the city, because
the city is done going to the
county.
The city received a couple of
applications for a job they had
been advertising for. They plan on
doing interviews this month before making a final discission
about the new hire. The council
also discussed asking Mike
Barnes to do some haying for
them out at the North Dam.

Obituary
Alice Stroppel
Alice J. Stroppel, age 82, of
Midland, South Dakota, died July
10, 2014, at the Rapid City Regional Hospital.
Alice Jean Finck was born July
11, 1931, on the farm north and
west of Okaton, South Dakota, the
daughter of Waldo and Clara (Jordon) Finck. She was raised with
three brothers and six sisters. She
attended Kessler School for her
first eight grades. Alice then did
babysitting and waitressing in
several cafes in the Murdo, South
Dakota, area.
On New Year's Eve, 1954, she
met George Stroppel at a dance in
Midland. They were united in
marriage at the St. Elizabeth
Catholic Church in Midland on
July 17, 1954. They were blessed
with six children, two girls and
four boys. Alice was a great and
loving mother to her children as
George worked on the Oahe Dam
and they lived in Pierre. George
started his own dirt work business
and lived on the Stroppel Ranch
near Powell for a few years. They
relocated and lived in Philip for a
few more years before moving to
Midland in 1966, to help George's
mother, Violet, take care of the
family business, the Stroppel
Hotel. They ended up buying the
hotel in 1973. Alice enjoyed visiting with the people that came
through the hotel and helped
George with taking care of the
hotel.
Alice had a huge salt and pep-

per shaker collection that her

mother had started. She enjoyed
receiving and collecting them, and
amassed nearly 2000 pairs. In
1998, George and Alice sold the
hotel to their daughter Patricia
and her husband Reuben. George
and Alice semi-retired to the home
next door to the hotel. She had
many great friends she enjoyed
time with. Alice was also known
for her ham salad sandwiches and
sloppy joes at many of Midland's
earlier dances. She was also
known for that great potato salad
and many different salads she

would bring to events.

Alice was a longtime member of
St. William's Catholic Church, the
American Legion Auxiliary, and
the Midland Senior Citizens Center, all of Midland. She enjoyed
playing cards and bingo.
Survivors include her husband
George Stroppel of Midland; four
sons Vernon Stroppel (Sharon) of
Harbor City, California, James
Stroppel (Kim) of Box Elder,
Lawrence Stroppel (Marlene) of
Midland, and Mike Stroppel of
Midland; two daughters Patricia
Vollmer (Reuben) of Midland, and
Patsy Fosheim (Rodney) of Irving,
Texas; several grandchildren and
great-grandchildren; one brother
Kenny Finck of Newell; four sisters Irene Brink of Philip; Betty
Block (Dick) of Midland, Ironis
Poppe of Pierre, and Norma Oldenberg (Jim) of Philip; and a host
of other relatives and friends.
Alice was preceded in death by
her parents; two brothers Bob and
Emil Finck; and two sisters Joyce
Dykema and Bonna Lindquist.
Mass of Christian Burial was
held Tuesday, July 15, at St.
William Catholic Church in Midland, with Father Kevin Achbach
as celebrant and Interment was
held that same day, at Black Hills
National Cemetery near Sturgis.
A memorial has been established. Arrangements are with the
Rush Funeral Home of Philip. Her
online guestbook is available at

We have before us a text that
has been a source of strength and
comfort to Christians ever since
apostolic days. The grace of GOD
is sufficient for us in any trial.
HIS strength has its most perfect
demonstration when we are in a
situation from which we cannot
save ourselves.
Some 14 years before these
words were written, Paul had
been caught up to paradise in the
third heaven, where he heard
unspeakable words, which it is
not lawful for a man to utter
(vss.2-4). He did not know
whether he was in the body or
out of the body when this happened.
It is generally believed that the
time of which he speaks is
recorded in Acts 14:19, where he
was stoned, dragged out of the

city of Lystra, and left for dead.

This incident took place at the
same time as his catching up to
heaven, and it is possible that
Paul actually died when he was
stoned and was called into the
presence of the LORD, given an
abundant revelation (v.7), and
then sent back to earth where his
body was restored to life.
Lest Paul be exalted above
measure through what had been
revealed to him, he was given a
thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet him.
When he asked three times that
this physical affliction might depart from him, he was told he
must continue to endure it, but
the grace of GOD would be sufficient for the trial.
From that time on, Paul gloried in his weaknesses since they
led him to know the power of
CHRIST. He became the New
Testament Job, a righteous man
afflicted by Satan with GODs
permission, but never delivered

because there was for him something better. His latter end was
better than his beginning, not because of physical healing and
prosperity, but because Divine
power was thereafter manifested
through him.
The Old Testament revelation
about Job is wonderfully helpful
and instructive, but this New
Testament truth given through
Paul better describes normal
Christian experience. Even
though we often have our
prayers answered in such a way
as to encourage our hearts at the
way GOD helps us in trouble,
there are bound to be Pauline
experiences in our lives. Sometimes GOD is pleased to let us
continue to bear a burden so that
HIS power may be seen.
What are your trials today?
Are you trusting in the all-sufficient grace of GOD in CHRIST
JESUS? HE stands ready to be
the strength you need to overcome in your life.

Scripture Reading: And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by Him.
Colossians 3:17
There seems to be a growing trend in Christendom for congregations to physically applaud those who are ministering in the things of the Lord. Pastors are applauded when they wax eloquent or say something humorous. Also, after soloists lift the hearts of the saints into the heavenlies they are often
met with a round of applause as they step down from the platform. Having pastored a number of local assemblies, Ive risen from my chair, on more
than one occasion to interrupt the hand clapping of the saints. While I am sure their applause was well-intentioned, it is nonetheless very irreverent and
disrespectful to the Lord.
When the world gives a standing ovation after a performance of an actor or comedian they are expressing their appreciation for having been acceptably entertained. They are also praising the performer for his excellence in an art which has been cultivated through years of hard work.
When the servant of the Lord comes to the platform, to minister on our behalf, the purpose of his labor of love is not to entertain the congregation.
It is to be viewed rather as a ministry, which is an integral part of our worship of the Holy One of Heaven. Anyone who serves the Lord, sincerely, would
never want the applause of men, but would insist that all the honor and glory be given to God. May all our adoration go to the One Who is worthy to
be worshipped, for He has given us his Word and the opportunity along with the gifts to minister on His behalf. Amen!
CHRYSOSTOM ON APPLAUSE

some clapped their hands in applause, according to the custom of the times. Then Chrysostom raised his voice: How does your applause help
me? It will be the right approval if you practice in life what I say to you. The church is no theater, where men listen for their own pleasure. (From the
Life of Chrysostom, by Frederic Perthes, P. 18).

Dr. P.E. Hoffsten

A lady was recently brought to

the clinic by her daughter with a
complaint that the patient had
stopped walking and had several
ulcers on her left foot. The patient
had been living by herself, trying
to carry on her activities of daily
living. She still drove a car until
recently and would bring her own
groceries home and in to the
house. But over the past several
weeks, the patients legs had
begun to hurt when she walked.
She already had advanced diabetic
neuropathy and had little sensation in the bottoms of her feet. The
patient had great difficulty examining the bottoms of her feet and
didnt really know that there were
ulcers present until her daughter
noticed that the patient really was
unable to walk or drive a car at the
time of the daughters visit today.
On physical examination, the
lady had a deep punched-out ulcer
that extended into the bones on
the ball of her foot. In addition,
there were no pulses on either
ankle. Her feet were somewhat
cool and it was obvious that personal hygiene had not been maintained for an extended period of
time. The ulcer on her foot was
deeply infected.
The sequence of events that
leads to this situation begins with
uncontrolled diabetes of many
years duration. The patient was
aware that she had been unable to
feel her feet for several years. At
78-years of age, she felt that this
was part of natural aging. But
when sensation in the feet is lost,
the person does not feel pain. This
may seem to be a beneficial situation but in fact, pain is there to
protect the persons body. Pain lets
the person know that something
bad is happening to an area of the
body that hurts. If there is no pain,

then she does not know that there

is an ulcer developing on her foot.
That is what had happened to this
lady. But in addition to the loss of
sensation in her feet, the circulation had been compromised also.
As the blood supply to the feet diminishes, the ability to heal ulcers
is diminished and infections can
become limb threatening.
I explained the situation to the
daughter and the patient. I indicated that this was an emergency
that required urgent address by a
peripheral vascular disease specialist. She was transferred to
Sioux Falls under the care of the
specialists at North Central Heart.
There it was determined that
there were severe blocks in the arteries to her lower legs. So called
balloon angioplasty followed by
stent placement that did reestablish viable blood supply to her left
lower leg which was the one most
ischemic. It was noted that there
were major blocks on the right side
also and these also were treated.
Then began the process of what
to do about the ulcerations on her
foot. She had osteomyelitis in the
bones of the lower foot and this required amputation in the mid-foot
area. Fortunately with the renewed blood supply from the angioplasty and stents placed, the
operative wound did heal. It took
almost two months and extensive
physical therapy in addition to the
surgery to reestablish ambulation.
The lady was very independent
and insisted that there was no way
she was going to give up driving or
living independently in her own
home. Fortunately, she now recognized that she needed to have better medical care and control of her
diabetic condition. She was started
on medications for her diabetes
which she had refused before. Fortunately, with control of the diabetic condition, control of her blood
pressure and correction of her se-

vere elevated cholesterol, she was

able to maintain ambulation
through the present time. She is
still driving her car, living independently, and getting her own
groceries.
Cases such as the above are extreme. Pain from walking can originate from deconditioning or from
severe osteoarthritic problems in
the knees or ankles or from vascular insufficiency with poor blood
supply to the feet. Each of these
conditions is best addressed early
it its presentation. Unfortunately,
there is no known treatment for
the loss of sensation in the feet except meticulous control of a diabetic condition and equally
meticulous care of the persons
feet. The feet of a diabetic need to
be inspected daily. Osteoarthritic
problems can be treated in a variety of ways to alleviate the pain.
The last step and often the best
one to alleviate osteoarthritic pain
is to have a prosthetic knee placed
by the orthopedist. But that is a
very substantial consideration.
Most generally, people who have
had a prosthetic knee placed are
very pleased with the result.
It might be added that the use
of antiarthritic medications such
as Ibuprofen and Aleve are really
not useful medications in the elderly group. This antiarthritic
group of medications called
NSAIDs can cause gastric ulcers
and possible bleeding, along with
higher blood pressure and kidney
failure. Rather than use these
medications on a chronic basis,
more direct address of the osteoarthritic knee problem such as
consideration of a prosthesis is a
better choice. The healthcare
providers at your local clinics are
aware of the severe problems that
pain when walking can present.
The earlier treatment of same will
lead to a better long term result.

I have a number of patients
who are enjoying life years after
having a sudden death experience
because they had the good fortune
being near someone who could
provide cardiopulmonary resuscitation or CPR.
Of course there are times when
people are certainly dying, when
CPR would only cause more suffering, and when resuscitation
should not be done. That, however,
is another story for another day.
CPR is an emergency effort of
chest compressions, circulating
blood, keeping the body alive, especially to the vulnerable brain,
until the heart can be shocked
back into a life sustaining rhythm
by a defibrillator. CPR is simply
done by placing the heel of one
hand on the chest, two inches up
from the bottom of the breastplate, and with the help of the
other hand, compressing the chest
down two inches at a rate of 100
or more beats per minute oneand-two-and to the rate of the

popped, it is a whole grain and can

be counted as part of your daily
whole grain consumption. According to the 2010 Dietary Guidelines
for Americans Individuals should
consume at least half of all grains
as whole grains. Increase wholegrain intake by replacing refined
grains with whole grains. Three
cups of popcorn equal one serving
from the grain group.
Popcorn can be a healthy snack,
as long as it isnt drenched in butter, salt and high calorie add-ons.
According to the American Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics
(http://eatright.org), three cups of
air-popped popcorn has 93 calories,
3.5 grams of fiber and 1 gram of fat.
Three cups of oil-popped popcorn,
unbuttered has 165 calories. Check

Its now the silly season for insurance rates with government
agencies, consulting groups, and
the media all speculating about
next years premiums. Will your
insurance premiums go up or
down this fall? Never before have
I seen such intense interest in insurance rates which editors have
usually considered a snoozer of a
story.
Its no wonder, though, that insurance rates are hot news.
Theyve become as politicized as
the Affordable Care Act itself.
Supporters of Obamacare have focused on what people pay for
health coverageremember all
that stuff about it being affordable? And opponents? Well they
jump into overdrive when any
shred of evidence points to higher
rates. So whats really going on?
For starters youre apt to hear
a lot of talk about average increases or decreases. Forget about
them! Averages are just that---averages. That reminds me of the old
joke: Did you hear about the statistician who put her head in the
oven and her feet in the refrigerator? She said, On average I feel
just fine.
Although Obamacare supporters, opponents, and state insur-

how much and what kind.

The National Popcorn Board recommends storing popcorn in airtight containers in a cool place such
as a cupboard, for 2 years or less.
They recommend not storing it the
refrigerator, since the moisture in
the kernels can dry out and not pop
as well.
For added flavor, sprinkle cinnamon on popcorn. Consider adding
popcorn to dried fruits and nuts or
add popcorn to trail mix. Popcorn is
a delicious, inexpensive snack that
provides energy producing carbohydrates, and is a good source of dietary fiber. Get popping with
popcorn!

Bee Gees song Staying Alive

Thats it. Anyone can do it.
Recently we have learned that
the most important component of
CPR is the chest compression, and
not the mouth-to-mouth breathing. In fact studies show compression-only CPR by the lay public
has a higher success rate than
CPR with mouth-to-mouth. The
exception is when halted breathing is the likely problem such as
drowning, drug overdose, or arrests in children.
Most of the time sudden death
is due to a heart that is not beating at all, or is beating way too
fast. This in turn is due to many
reasons, from a blockage of blood
flow through coronary arteries, a
weakened dilated heart, or even a
baseball or hockey-puck strike to
the middle of the chest.
Whatever the reason, five to 30
percent of those who receive CPR
will survive, mostly without brain
injury, because CPR tides them
over until the electrical shock returns a life sustaining heart

rhythm.
The sad news is that more than
50 percent of those people who
could benefit will not have CPR
because bystanders or family are
afraid they might do something
wrong, which is simply not true.
The big mistake is NOT TO
START CPR.
So if you come upon a situation
where someone, who might benefit
from more years of life, suddenly
stops breathing and there is no
pulse, then dont delay one and
two and Ah, ah, ah, ah, Stayin
Alive.

Popcorn nutrition facts

by Ann Schwader,
Nutrition Field Specialist
Pop! Pop-pop-pop! This sound,
combined with its unique aroma
wafting through the air and delicious taste, makes popcorn irresistible for many individuals.
Enjoyed for many centuries in the
United States, popcorn is still a
snack favorite, with the average
American eating about 51 quarts of
popcorn annually.
Popcorn is a type of maize (or
corn). To prepare it, the kernel has
to be heated, which turns the internal moisture into steam. When the
outer shell of the popcorn has
reached its pressure point it explodes (pop!). This releases the
fluffy edible flake that we recognize
as popcorn.
Whether you prefer popcorn microwaved in a pre-packaged bag,
popped on the stovetop or air-

ance regulators use them to indicate a general direction of where

rates are headed and sometimes
twist them to suit the political
points they want to score, most of
us dont pay average rates. The
end game is the actual rate someone pays, says Jim OConnor, an
actuary with the consulting firm
Milliman. The increases themselves, he adds, dont tell you
which policy has the most affordable rate. Some people will pay
higher premiums in 2015; others
will pay less.
What premiums a company
charges for next year will depend
somewhat on what it charged this
year. OConnor explained that a
carrier which charged high rates
in 2014 may be asking for lower
rates for 2015 to make its policies
more competitive. Insurers that
sold coverage with lower premiums last year in an effort to grab
market share may be raising them
for the next round.
In those cases, a company may
have experienced a lot of sick people signing up for coverage. That
means a lot of claims to pay and
the need for higher premiums
next year. Remember insurance
companies are not charitable institutions.
In Colorado, for instance, Denver Health, a safety net health
system, has asked for a 17.5 percent increase in premiums because it says they have been
taking care of really sick patients
and that requires more resources
such as medications and testing.
Access Colorado has also asked for
a hefty 22 percent increase, but
another
carrier
Colorado
HealthOP wants to cut its rates by
10 percent.
OConnor told me that pattern
is pretty typical in most states.
Is Obamacare to blame for the

rate increases many will see?

The answer to that requires
some understanding of how premiums are set. Determining rates
involves a complicated mix of variables, which include the cost of
medical care that continues to rise
although at a somewhat slower
pace than in past, the number of
sick people in a companys risk
pool, and now the impact of the
pricey hepatitis C drug Sovaldi.
But Obamacare does play a
role, too. Government fees imposed on carriers will boost premiums for some and so will the
beginning of a phase-out of government payments that the ACA
called for to help out insurers. The
transition program for people
who had old policies with nonstandard benefits also plays a
large part.
Most states allow consumers
with those old policies to keep
them until 2017, and insurers
think the ones keeping them are
healthy and young. Sick older people are trading them in for new
coverage. Depending on how many
have switched, that alone could
add as much as 15 to 20 percent to
a premium.
The old advice about shopping
around still stands and will be
super important for those with exchange policies. To help out consumers,
avoid
last
years
marketplace meltdown, and keep
people insured, it might be too
easy to find yourself with a highpriced policy you dont want or
cant afford. Buyer beware may be
the best advice for now.l.

Harvesting scab
(FHB) infected
wheat (and straw?)

In several of the winter wheat

variety plots across South Dakota,
the varieties rated as susceptible
to scab (Fusarium Head Blight)
showed noticeable incidence of infection. A recent survey conducted
by SDSU Extension Agronomists
also found levels of scab ranging
from less than 10 percent in western South Dakota to over 80 percent in one field in the eastern
part of the state, and in the 10-40
percent range in the south-central
area.
Where scab was found, the extent of infection varied from one
field to another. Variety resistance
partially explains the difference
between levels of infection from
field to field in the same area. Difference in maturity between varieties also influences the level of
scab infection as one variety may
have been flowering during a period of wet weather while another
may have flowered during drier
conditions. Planting date also affects flowering date. The Fusarium Head Blight Prediction
Center: www.wheatscab.psu.edu
offers potential scab risk based on
weather conditions. Fungicide applications during flowering are
about 50-70 percent effective in

controlling scab, and may also explain differences in the level of infection between fields. One of the
main factors however, is the previous crop, and residue the wheat
is planted into. Corn residue is the
highest risk, with sorghum, millet,
wheat, barley and oats following
in importance.
The bottom line is, many wheat
producers will be dealing with a
scab infected crop during harvest.
The best initial management
strategy is to adjust the combine
settings to throw as many of the
scab infected kernels out the back
of the machine as possible, while
keeping as much good wheat as
you can. The fungus sometimes
moves to the center stem (rachis)
of the head and causes scab affected kernels or Fusarium damaged kernels. These kernels may
not be scabby, but shriveled and
shrunken because the fungus
killed the rachis and cut off the
moisture and nutrient supply to
the upper part of the head before
those kernels were able to fill.
Scab reduces both yield and test
weight, but the most devastating
effect is often the level of deoxynivalenol or DON (vomitoxin) that is
often associated with scab infected
grain. The presence of DON may
result in substantial price discounts at the elevator and even rejection of purchase if the levels are
high. While there is no standard

for raw grain going into the

milling process, the Food and
Drug Administration (FDA) has
established the level of one part
per million (ppm) as a limit for finished grain products for human
consumption. Higher limits exist
for feeding to various species of
livestock. Reducing the scabby
kernels in a load of wheat will
lower the DON level as well.
Crop residue such as straw is
considered to be of value to be left
in the field for organic matter, protective cover, fertilizer nutrients,
etc. Baling straw behind the combine to be sold for livestock forage
is seen as another source of revenue by some producers. This
practice should be approached
with caution when the crop is infected with scab. Research has
shown that DON levels in straw
can accumulate at much higher
levels than found in the grain. Ten
ppm is the highest level of DON
suggested for grains and byproducts to be fed to any class of beef
cattle, so testing straw from scabinfected wheat fields for DON is
recommended. Some studies
found DON levels in the straw in
excess of 50 ppm, where the DON
in the grain was closer to 10 ppm.

HAY AND GRAZING ACRES
LOCATOR TOOL
For many years, FSA's Hay
Net website www.fsa.usda.gov/
haynet has been the go to online resource for agricultural producers to list information
concerning the need for hay or the
availability of hay.
Now, in response to requests
from livestock producers and
landowners, FSA has expanded
the site to include the option to
list a need for grazing acres or to
list acres available for grazing.
If, due to extenuating circumstances, producers are in need of
hay and/or grazing acres to support livestock, please use Hay Net
to post an advertisement seeking
resources.
Likewise,
these
landowners who have hay and/or
grazing acres available for livestock producers should post a Hay
Net advertisement as well.
A few things to remember
when using the Hay Net website:
There is a one-time registration process that should be completed by all users who want to
post an ad online.
Users who just want to
browse ads DO NOT NEED to

have an eAuthentication user id.

Hay and grazing acre ads will
be automatically removed after a
period of 13 months.
Please help your fellow
farmer and rancher by keeping
ads current and up to date and remove ads you no longer need or
want advertised on Hay Net.
Please, no corporate advertisements on this site.
Hay Net is brought to you by
FSA as a public service. The sole
purpose of this online resource is
to provide a site for the exchange

Lookin Around

Preparation is the key to doing
well in various activities. This
would apply to playing sports,
making music, and even getting
high scores in video games.
Preparation can take several
forms, but it often includes practice, warming up, gearing up
mentally, and purposely relaxing.
If you go to a basketball game,
you will probably see team members warming up beforehand.
The team will be out running
around the court, shooting baskets and that sort of thing. You
can be fairly sure the coach has
been and will be giving them pep
talks in the locker room and also
running them through lots of
drills in practice sessions beforehand. These things and others
play an important part in success.
I havent had a lot of experience participating in sports, but
Ive had tons of experience playing the piano in public. Some of
the same principles apply. Practice, for example, is key to both.
Without a lot of practice, youre in
trouble right from the start. Secondly, you need to warm up.
Sometimes if Im going to play a
fast and difficult prelude before
church, youll see me doing finger
exercises in the car on the way.
Well, you wont actually see me
doing that since it looks a little
silly, and I will quit if anyone is
around. Nevertheless, my fingers
need to be warmed up and flexible so I do the exercises to get

them that way.

Then, at the piano, I make sure
the piano bench is the right distance from the keyboard and my
position on it is close enough but
not too close. The correct position
is important. Next, just before I
play, I purposely relax and tell
myself not to rush. Nerves can
make you play too fast which does
nothing to promote accuracy. Finally, I try to remember to enjoy
myself. If Im having a good time,
my music is apt to be more satisfying to others.
To do a good job in many
things, you have to get enough
rest. If youre tired, your body just
cant function as well as it might
when its rested. My mom always
strongly suggested I take an afternoon nap if I was going to participate in an amateur contest or
otherwise play the piano in public when I was a kid. I think I
started being in concerts and contests from about the fifth or sixth
grade on. Mom had the right idea.
I did better when Id had a nap
than if I hadnt. I continued to follow her advice to good effect in
high school and college and still
do to this very day.
I even find adequate rest
makes a difference in playing
video games. I have one western
game where you try to shoot as
many bandits as you can. My goal
is to shoot 250 bad guys before the
final set, and I can seldom do that

dollars off, and my first impulse is

to keep looking and looking until
I find the error. Its better to just
put it away and come back to it
when your mind is sharper and
you arent in a fuss.
I have noticed over the years
that many people think they can
party all night and still do useful
things the next day. Well, young
people can get by with this sort of
thing somewhat easier than older

Even on a good day, I have to
spend a moment or two in preparation by relaxing and putting my

When I follow this good advice, I

Beating the beetle

My family and I try our best to

see the Great Faces nearly every
summer. Its one of our favorite
summer vacation spots and one
many South Dakotans try not to
miss. If you have visited the Black
Hills in the last few years, however, youve probably noticed a
changing landscape; sadly, a dying
landscape.
Over the course of the last two
decades, Mountain Pine Beetles
have quickly infested the Black
Hills National Forest. About onethird of the forest is currently infected, turning some areas into a
tinderbox and significantly increasing wildfire potential in the
area. Not only is this a significant
safety risk, but it jeopardizes our
states tourism and forestry industries and the paychecks of the
hundreds of South Dakotans employed in these industries.
This week, I signed onto legislation that offers greater protections for prevention efforts. After
all, the best way to fight a wildfire
is to prevent it altogether. The
Wildfire Disaster Funding Act

simply changes the way we budget

for fighting wildfires. Currently,
any additional funding needed to
fight emergency wildfires is pulled
from prevention programs, including some that are important to
pine beetle efforts in the Black
Hills. More specifically, we prioritize timber harvest, grazing management and other activities in
this bill by protecting the funding
that goes to these important programs.
This is the next in a series of
steps weve taken to beat the beetle in recent years.
In November 2013, I brought
U.S. Forest Service Chief Tom Tidwell to view the damage first
hand. He came away from that
meeting recognizing that we have
the tools to combat the pine beetle, but we need to be able to apply
them on a larger scale. That takes
reforms on the federal level.
I included some of those reforms in the 2014 Farm Bill. More
specifically, we streamlined environmental red tape, helped get
boots on the ground faster, and allowed the Forest Service to work
on a larger scale in many cases.

So far, nearly one million acres of

the Black Hills National Forest
has benefited from these provisions.
Through other efforts, we were
also able to secure more than $3
million in federal funds over the
last two years to help support the
fight.
These efforts in South Dakota
are working, but the federal government now must get out of the
way. Last month, Chief Tidwell
honored the Black Hills National
Forest with the Chief s Award for
Leading in the Business Environment for their work on beating
the beetle. Once again, South
Dakotas efforts are highlighted as
an example for the nation.
We are fortunate to have so
many dedicated foresters working
in the Black Hills today and I am
very grateful for their efforts. I am
also committed to being their partner in Congress because decades
from now, I want our kids to be
able to drive to the Black Hills
with their families and see the vibrant forest we grew up seeing.
Its possible. But first, were
going to have to beat the beetle.

Governor Dennis Daugaard

Tribal parole
pilot program
Last year, we passed historic
legislation in South Dakota to reform our criminal justice system.
These reforms were enacted to improve public safety, hold offenders
more accountable and reduce corrections spending.
When we met with stakeholders
before drafting the legislation,
tribal members brought a parole
issue forward. Today, nearly 30
percent of the inmates in the state
prison system are Native American. More than half of parolees
who abscond from the state parole
supervision are Native Americans.
In many of these cases, the absconders are returning to one of
the reservations, where they often
have homes and families. Unfortunately, because the state lacks
jurisdiction on the reservations,
state parole agents can no longer
supervise parolees who return to
a reservation.
Under the Public Safety Improvement Act, we established the
state tribal parole pilot program to
allow some Native American offenders to serve their parole supervision on the reservation. After
I signed the bill into law, we met
with the seven tribes that expressed interest in participating
in the pilot. In April the SissetonWahpeton Oyate was selected for

the first pilot program.

For the pilot program, the state
will provide training and funding
for a tribal parole agent to supervise parolees on the reservation.
The tribal agent will use the same
parole system that state agents
use. This system applies swift,
certain and proportionate sanctions for misbehavior, along with
incentives for compliance. These
evidence-based practices have
been shown to reduce the risk that
a parolee will return to the penitentiary. The parolees will be able
to access mental health services,
substance abuse treatment services and housing resources from
the tribe while residing and working near their homes and families.
The Department of Corrections
and the tribe plan to hire a tribal
parole agent later this summer.
The tribes wellness team is currently establishing guidelines to
determine which parolees are eligible to participate, and DOC staff
members have begun to inform inmates from that area about the
tribal pilot. The tribe is expected
to monitor its first parolees in
early fall.
If the parole pilot program with
Sisseton-Wahpeton proves successful, well have the opportunity
to expand it to other reservations.
Its success would mean a
smoother transition for Native
American parolees, restoration of
families for the tribe and reductions in prison spending for the

state of South Dakota. It would be

a win, win, win.

First Lady Linda Daugaard will
hold the second annual book walk
for children in the backyard of the
Governors Mansion on Monday,
Aug. 11, at 6:30 p.m. CDT.
The book walk is an opportunity to encourage children to read
and give them the chance to get
out and exercise, said Mrs. Daugaard.
Children in junior kindergarten
through the second grade are invited to attend, but must be accompanied by an adult. The walk
will take approximately a half
hour.
The featured books will be
Snow Day by Ezra Jack Keates
and It Looked Like Spilt Milk by
Charles Shaw. Participants will
walk around Capitol Lake and
stop at stations along the way to
read portions of the first book. It
Looked Like Spilt Milk by
Charles Shaw will be posted along
the inside driveway of the Governors Mansion for the younger
children. After children arrive at
the last station and finish the
book, light refreshments will be
provided.
The book walk should be entertaining for children as well as
adults, and I hope those living in
Pierre and the surrounding areas
will take the opportunity to spend
an evening outdoors with us, said
the First Lady.

Improving South
Dakota rail service
As South Dakota farmers plan
for another harvest season, many
producers and other rail shippers
remain concerned about the availability of rail cars and the price of
cars upon receipt. I understand
the impact these delays have on
our states economy, especially our
agriculture industry, and continue
to work directly with the railroads
as well as the Surface Transportation Board (STB), which is responsible for overseeing freight service
and shipping rates.
At the beginning of June, the
new Rapid City, Pierre, and Eastern Railroad (RCP&E) began operating under the new ownership
of Genesee and Wyoming. This
was an important milestone following Canadian Pacific (CP) Railways decision in December of
2012 to solicit buyers for the
Dakota, Minnesota, and Eastern
(DM&E) line. While there were
initial concerns about how the
change in ownership could impact
South Dakota shippers, I worked
directly with the senior leadership

of CP and the STB to ensure that

any change wouldnt harm competition or service. Since Genesee
and Wyoming took control of the
DM&E line just over a month ago,
I have continued to hear positive
feedback from shippers about its
customer outreach and efforts to
bring on additional rail cars and
locomotives to reduce the time it
takes shippers to get their products to market.
I am also working with the STB
to ensure both CP and Burlington
Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) Railroad continue their efforts to reduce and eliminate the backlog of
grain from South Dakota that occurred during the long winter to
ensure we dont face a crisis this
summer or fall due to inadequate
grain elevator storage capacity.
While working with the STB
earlier this year, I was pleased
that it required fertilizer delivery
reports from both CP and BNSF,
which ensured producers didnt
miss their short planting windows. Now the STB is requiring
both railroads to create a plan to
address the backlog of grain orders from last years harvest and
provide weekly updates on their

delivery frequencies and overdue

car orders. In early July, I met
with both U.S. Department of
Transportation Secretary Anthony
Foxx and STB Chairman Dan Elliot. Both meetings were helpful in
reiterating how South Dakota producers are being impacted by the
shortage of rail cars and delivery
delays.
While BNSF has been able to
improve deliveries in recent
months, I remain concerned that
CP is not meeting the commitments it made RCP&E. On June
25, I sent a letter to the president
of CP and the STB underscoring
the continued frustration I hear
from South Dakota shippers regarding CPs inability to provide
hundreds of empty grain cars
promised to RCP&E.
These critical rail service issues
have a direct impact on the economic health of South Dakota and
our number one industry, agriculture. Until this issue is resolved, I
plan to redouble my efforts as a
member of both the Commerce,
Science, and Transportation Committee and Agriculture Committee
to focus federal oversight efforts
on ensuring our states rail service
problems are addressed.

An open letter to
United States Postmaster
General Patrick Donahoe
Dear Postmaster
General Donahoe:
I do hope this letter arrives at
your office in reasonable time.
Sarcasm aside, there was a
time when I put a First Class
stamp on a letter and mailed it, I
had confidence, depending on its
destination, it would get there
overnight or within two or three
days. There was a time when
newspaper publishers could expect their latest edition would
reach mail subscribers in a reasonable time frame as well.
Today, that confidence doesnt
exist.
And your latest plan to close
more than 80 mail processing
plants around the country including the Dakota Central facility in Huron will erase any
shreds of remaining confidence.
You have a difficult job. Mail
trends have not been kind to your
business the past several years,
thanks in large part to the internet and 9-11. First Class mail
still the biggest generator of revenue for you has dropped more
than 35 percent the last dozen
years or so.
So how do you clear a path for
the survival of the Postal Service
in the face of some mighty strong
headwinds? Obviously, you need to
reduce expenditures and tighten
the belt to fit new realities.
But I believe your latest plan
goes too far. From the 30,000-foot
view at USPS headquarters, your
latest plant consolidation plan
may look good on the spreadsheet.
But looking at it from here on
Main Street and the mailbox-dotted gravel roads of South Dakota,
its a clunker.
The newspaper publishers of

South Dakota who belong to the

trade association I work for, know
its a clunker as well. They have
been fighting desperately now for
several years to find ways to get
their newspapers delivered to
customers in a timely manner.
Fighting desperately despite the
roadblocks and hurdles put up by
your organization.
Closing more mail processing
plants will only contribute to the
sclerosis of the mail network in
this country. Your plan doesnt
save the Postal Service; it just
makes things worse.
The degradation and decline
dont happen all it once, but they
happen. Newspaper subscribers
become frustrated they cant get
their hometown paper delivered to
them in a reasonable time, so they
stop paying for it when the subscription comes due. Advertisers
become frustrated when their promotions and marketing specials
cant reach the marketplace soon
enough.
But it is not just newspapers. It
is all businesses that rely on the
mail for delivery of invoices,
checks, correspondence and so
much more. Its people who live so
far from town that they must rely
on the mail for delivery of their
medical prescriptions. Its the delivery of farm parts and legal documents. The list goes on.
Mail service always has been
and remains a vital part of the infrastructure serving rural America. For that matter, our entire
country. Good, reliable mail service supports a strong economy and
a connected, engaged society.
Lets not degrade and destroy
that network. Instead, we should
be working to protect and provide

for a strong, reliable mail service

that serves all of our country.
If you wont do it (and your latest plant consolidation announcement suggests you wont), then
we call on Congress to step in and
put a halt to it. Congress should
freeze any further plant consolidations and closings until it can
agree upon meaningful reform legislation for the Postal Service.
Postal reform legislation has
been percolating in Congress for
some time now. Congress needs to
act.
Congress needs to remove the
onerous, overly aggressive provisions that require the Postal Service to greatly accelerate set-asides
for postal retirees health benefits.
Doing so would help the Postal
Services balance sheet and remove some of the pressures that
lead to policies and actions that
have hurt, not helped, your organization.
Postal reform legislation is not
a headlines-grabbing, popularitypoll issue that Congress rallies
around. Nevertheless, Congress
needs to act now, before your organization, Mr. Postmaster General, regresses into a shell of its
former self from which it cannot
recover.
I
thank
you
for
your
consideration.
Sincerely,
David Bordewyk,
General Manager, South Dakota
Newspaper Association

weekly and daily newspapers with
a total readership of more than
600,000 people.)

Dances With Wolves

Events are being planned for
Pierre the weekend of July 18-20 to
commemorate the 25th anniversary of the first three days of filming of the Academy Award winning
movie Dances With Wolves in the
area.
Kevin Costner, who co-produced,
directed and starred in the movie,
is not expected to participate in
this years events but will be invited and encouraged to participate
in next years 25th anniversary of
the release of the movie.
Nearly 100 Pierre, Fort Pierre
and central South Dakota residents
were directly involved in the making of the movie.
Bill Stevens of Pierre, who was
a production assistant and van
driver during the filming and is
production coordinator of the planning committee, said the free weekend will be an opportunity for those
involved with the movie to come together and share their experiences.
We have a wide variety of experiences represented with our
speakers, Stevens said. Everyone
who is interested is invited to attend any or all of these sessions.
Jay D. Vogt, director of the
South Dakota State Historical Society at the Cultural Heritage Center in Pierre and a member of the

The full moon lit up the night sky Saturday July 12.

planning committee, noted the historical significance of the movie.

The commemoration of past
events, such as the Dances With
Wolves 25th anniversary of filming
the movie, provides us with the opportunity to reflect and gather the
history of the event, Vogt said.
The South Dakota State Historical
Society is careful about what we
collect for the archives and museum, and these types of events can
bring to our attention new information and material on a particularly
significant event.
Twenty-five years ago, South
Dakota was celebrating its 100th
anniversary and the State Historical Society was moving into the
new Cultural Heritage Center, and
at the same time an Academy
Award winning movie was being
filmed in central and western
South Dakota, Vogt added.
Dances With Wolves brought new
attention to our state, and we benefited from a better understanding
of our history and a draw of
tourists to South Dakota.
The free event, at the Best Western Ramkota Hotel, kicks off Friday at 7 p.m. CDT.
For more information, contact
Stevens at svsvideo@pie.midco.net
or (605) 224-0223.

Noem staff to hold

mobile office hours in Murdo
U.S. Representative Kristi
Noem announced that Brad Otten
of her Rapid City office will hold
mobile office hours in Murdo on
Tuesday, July 22. Otten will be
available that day between the
hours of 1:00 p.m. and 2:00 p.m. at
the Jones County Courthouse (310
Main Street, Murdo) to meet with
residents who need help with a
federal agency or have concerns or
comments they would like passed
along to the Congresswoman.
As South Dakotas lone Member of the U.S. House of Representatives, I believe it is critical that
my staff and I meet with South
Dakotans one-on-one to hear
about the issues important to
them, said Rep. Noem. It is my
hope that those needing help with
a federal agency or simply wishing
to pass on their concerns to me
will stop by on July 22.
If area residents are unable to
meet during the mobile office
