~ by Ronda Dennis ~county. Following the closure of theJackson County FSA Office inKadoka, the Jackson County FSACommittee will continue to func-tion in their current capacity; how-ever, their meetings will be held atthe Haakon/Jackson County FSAOffice located in Philip, SouthDakota. “Jackson County farmers andranchers will still have local repre-sentation through the FSA CountyCommittee System,” said JamieWhite, a public affairs specialistthrough the USDA-FSA, SouthDakota State Office. County FSA Committees servean important role in representingtheir local agricultural communityand USDA. After that the door to their officewill be locked and Peterson andUhlir will be preparing for themove. On August 13 Peterson will jointhe Philip FSA office, along withCED Duke Westerberg, DonWeller, Kyle Bachand, Tanya McIl-ravy, June Huston and TonyaKramer. Uhlir will be employed in Murdo,along with CED David Klingbergand Faye Chamblis. Peterson started as a programassistant in Hyde County in Marchof 1988. After four and one-halfyears she decided to transfer toJackson County. She started underCED Steven Olson on January 2,1991. “I knew there was an openingand wanted to be closer to family,”she said. “I have throughly enjoyedworking with our producers sinceI’ve been here.” Uhlir began her employment asa temporary employee under Stan-ton “Beef” Uhlir in December 1988at the old location on the south eastend of Main Street where the vetclinic is now. Beef Uhlir worked 29 years forthe agency before he passed awayon September 30, 1990. “I went full time when RustyOlney left the agency and startedat the insurance business atBankWest,” Uhlir said.

“I will miss all of the JacksonCounty producers,” she added. At that time when she startedthe other employees were JanetMagelky, who was employed fromMay 1969 through November of1996. Magelky had taken JoyceDrabek’s place when she moved toBelle Fourche. Dorothy Ireland was the otherone. She started at Kadoka in Feb-ruary of 1983, transfered to BelleFourche in September, 1992 andretired in 2005. It was when Ireland transferedto Belle Fourche that Petersonmade the move to Kadoka. Other CEDs have come and gone

including Marcia Bunger, who isnow retired and Brian Stewart,who transferred to Pierre. ActingCEDs have been Duke Westerbergof Philip and most recently,Michael Goetzinger of Martin. There has also been a number oftemporary employees, who haveworked during peak seasons whenfunds were available. Over the years the agency haschanged names several times,going from Agriculture AdjustmentAgency (AAA), to Agriculture Sta-bilization Conservation Service(ASCS), to Consolidated FarmService Agency (CFSA) to FarmService Agency (FSA).

Another chapter of JacksonCounty history is nearing the endas the book is being closed for theJackson County Farm ServiceAgency in Kadoka. An open house was held on Tues-day, July 24 for the last two em-ployees, Colleen Petersen andStevie Uhlir, who have a combinedtotal of almost 48 years of servingthe agriculture producers of Jack-son County. On May 29, South Dakota FSAreceived approval from Secretary ofAgriculture Tom Vilsack to proceedwith the implementation of thecounty office consolidation plan, in-cluding four county offices in SouthDakota: Jackson County inKadoka; Campbell County inMound City; Harding County inBuffalo; Jerauld County in Wess-ington Springs. The loss of a Main Street busi-ness in Kadoka did not go downwithout a fight. On Tuesday, January 24, produc-ers came together with commentsto show due cause in keeping theJackson County office open. Theircomments and letters of supportwere not enough to keep the officeopen. In the end all four county of-fices looked at major changes. Petersen and Uhlir were offeredemployee buy-outs, but chose tostay with the agency in alternativelocations. They received letters statingwhere they would be going; Peter-son to Haakon County and Uhlirhad a choice between Jones Countyand Bennett County. She decidedon Jones County. The office in Kadoka has beenbusy on the final countdown deal-ing with certifications, CRP man-aged hay and NAPlosses/production. As of July 28, the JacksonCounty Farm Service Agency officewill be officially closed and all FSAprogram services will be providedby the Haakon County FSA officeunless a producer has elected totransfer his/her records to another

The Jackson County Commis-sioners held a special meeting onWednesday, July 18. CommissionerRonnie Twiss was absent. At 7:00 p.m. a public hearingwas held to discuss the land ex-change between the Nebraska Na-tional Forests and Grasslands andthe Nature Conservancy. If theland exchanged between these twoentities is approved, the landwould then be available for pur-chase by the adjacent landowners. Following the hearing the com-missioners met with Highway Su-perintendent Mitch Olney. Olney stated that they have notbeen blading any roads due to thedry conditions. He also said he visited withKennedy Implement about newmowers. The commissioners held an exec-utive session at 8:15 p.m. for per-sonnel matters and returned toopen session at 8:57 p.m., with noaction taken. County Auditor Vicki Wilsonpresented two draft letters that shehad written addressed to RichHildebrand and Jim Kujawa. Theletters were to inform them thatthe county was not going to pursuepurchasing the current FSA build-ing on Main Street. After both let-ter were reviewed, one was chosento be sent to Hildebrand and Ku-jawa. The commissioners were in-formed that Joe Handrahan has in-quired as to whether the countywas interested in purchasing thelot he owns north of the current li-brary. Commissioner Glen Bennettclarified that the quote receivedfrom Marty Gardner was $15,000and included removing the build-ing from Handrahan’s lot and thelibrary building.

It was the consensus of the com-missioners that at this time, theyare not interested in purchasingthe lot from Handrahan. Commissioner Jim Stilwellstated that he is still in favor ofpursuing the idea of building the li-brary on the vacant lots that areowned by the Kadoka NursingHome, that are located behind thecurrent FSA Office. Stilwell said he had visited witha few residents that were not op-posed to moving the library. Commissioner Delores Bonen-berger stated she was in favor ofkeeping the library on Main Street. A motion carried to declare thecopier from the county shop sur-plus to be disposed of. Bills and time cards were re-viewed and the meeting was ad-journed. The next meeting will be held onMonday, August 13 at 9:00 a.m.

Cactus Flat fire … On Thursday, July 19 several fire departmentsresponded to the Cactus Fire which raced across grasslands and stubblefields northwest of Cactus Flat. The fire was reported about 1 p.m. near Interstate 90 mile marker 127,north of the interstate and east of the Minuteman Missile National His-toric Site. Southerly winds gusting up to 30 mph pushed the fire north. In less than two hours, firefighters appeared to have the wildfire undercontrol until a flame took hold in the drought-ravaged brush and treesalong Whitewater Creek. Flames crawled up aging cottonwood trees, andthe wind threw live embers into a nearby stubble field. Firefighters and local ranchers were chasing small pockets of flames inthe stubble field when a K-Max helicopter arrived to dip water from anearby stock dam. Approximatley 1,100 acres were burned. Later that day many of the local firefighters responded other fireswhich were north of Philip and south of Kadoka.

Church Calendar

Read James 1:1-4When people confide to me that they are praying for

patience, I often ask what else they're doing to acquirea calm and gentle heart. Patience isn't so much some-thing believers receive as it is an attribute that they

develop over time and through experience. Think of patience as a muscle that you have to use in order to see it build. To that end, believers shouldrecognize difficulty as an opportunity to flex their patience. The human instinct is to cry out to God inbewilderment when tribulation comes knocking. We blame. We resist. We complain. What we don't do issay, "Thank You, Father--it's time to grow in patience!" People aren't trained to think that way, but ac-cording to the Bible, that is exactly how Christians are to respond. James tells us to consider trials a joy (1:2). But we often fail at this, don't we? Humanly speaking,praising the Lord for tribulation is unnatural. However, doing so begins to make sense to believers whenthey cling to God's promise that good comes from hardship (Rom. 8:28). We are not waiting on the Lordin vain. We can praise Him for the solution He will bring, the lives He will change, or the spiritual fruitHe will develop in us. Accepting hardship as a means of growth is a radical concept in this world. Even more extreme is thebeliever who praises the Lord for the storm. But God's followers have cause to rejoice. Tribulation in-creases our patience so that we can stand firm on His promises and await His good timing.

Dear Editor, In the issue of the Kadoka Pressdated July 19, 2012, the countycommissioners meeting of Monday,May 9 was addressed. First, that article may have leftsome with the impression that theHildebrand/Kujawa building onMain Street is in such poor condi-tion, that it would take $100,000 tomake it generally suitable to thepublic. Left out of the article wasthe fact that the building modifica-tions would be required to meetstrict CDB Grant requirements -requirements that would not neces-sarily be otherwise required fromthe county. As we know from rent-ing to both state and federal enti-ties for twenty years now,government requirements do notnecessarily make sense in a ruraltown such as ours. Nor do those re-quirements always have a positiveproperty value effect. Secondly, I would like to addressthe unfortunate situation wherethe county seems to have receivedestimates for work to be done in the

City of Kadoka, from two Philipcompanys. To my knowledge notone business from Jackson Countywas asked to provide either esti-mate. As a business owner in thecounty we pay taxes in, it’s difficultto understand why that would be.

Respectfully,/s/ Colleen Hildebrand

Editor’s note: Building modifica-tions required by the CDBG Grantwere not presented at the commis-sioner’s regular meeting.

O’Bryans Fun Night

I have fond memories of LongBeach, California. That was whereI found myself when I was finallythrough with seventeen long yearsof school and out on my own. Itwas there I first learned some ofthe things needed to exist withoutassistance from parents or school. As it happened, I joined theNavy after college since I wasgoing to be drafted if I didn’t, andI thought the Navy sounded thebest of the different services. It is,by the way, although that opinionis not universally held to be so.Anyway, after four months of offi-cers training in Rhode Island andsix months of supply school inGeorgia, Long Beach was where Iended up. I wasn’t sent to a ship tobegin with but was just kind ofloosely attached to the supply cen-ter on the Long Beach Naval Base.This was fine. They gave me thisand that to do while waiting forfurther orders. Meanwhile, I first stayed withmy Aunt Bessie in Norwalk, CA,which is inland quite a ways. Ibought a second-hand, nifty, black-and-red Buick with which Ilearned to navigate the wild free-ways between Norwalk and LongBeach. These driving experiencesgave me more than a few nervousmoments until I finally got used toeveryone going like sixty and thenslamming on the brakes andcrawling for a while. I took morethan a few wrong exits and gothopelessly lost occasionally beforeI finally figured out how to get inthe right lanes to take the rightexits. Well, Aunt Bessie was a sweetieand I could have stayed with herlonger, but the tedious freewaytraffic got to me. As a result, I tooka room in the BOQ (Bachelor Offi-cers Quarters) on the base where Ilived during the week although Ioften stayed with Bessie on theweekends, took her around, wentto church with her etc. I had thechoice of a small room in a newBOQ or a big one in an old one. Itook the big one and found ithighly satisfactory. I had time toroam the city, the beach, the wa-terfront, and all that. After a few months, though, Iwas transferred down the coast toSan Diego and attached to a shipthat was being built there. I spentseveral months helping to get thatvessel ready to be commissionedand join the fleet. San Diego, inci-dentally, is probably a little nicerthan Long Beach. Then, however,they sent me back to Long Beach

but this time to serve as supply of-ficer on an old destroyer. This wasfine with me too. I liked roamingaround seeing the country so theycould transfer me as often as theypleased. I looked forward to thechanges. This time in Long Beach, Icould, of course, have just lived onthe ship which I mostly did. Still, Iliked to get away part of the timeso I rented an apartment near thebase. It was sort of furnished al-though all the light bulbs were col-ored everything but white when Ifirst took possession. Some hippieshad inhabited the place before meand liked colored lights. They alsoliked the couch off its legs andclose to the floor. I soon righted allthat. The only piece of my own fur-niture in the place was a grandpiano I had purchased on saledown in San Diego. It took up thespare bedroom. It now sits in ourliving room on the prairie. This apartment was close to thecenter of town so it wasn’t in acompletely residential district. ACadillac dealership was just acrossthe street, for example, but I likedogling the Cadis. Couldn’t affordthem, of course, but they were funto inspect, especially the sleeksporty models. I really do love the ocean andliving by one. I’m not that keen onswimming in salt water, but I dolike walking on beaches. I got to dothat as often as I wanted. Califor-nia climate is easy to like as wellsince the presence of palm treestells you it doesn’t freeze. I couldlive all my life without seeing an-other snowflake. Neither does itget too hot due to its proximity tothe ocean which moderates thingsnicely. All good things must end, ofcourse, and my destroyer was putinto the reserves and transferredup the coast to Tacoma, Washing-ton. This was a new adventure ina new area and I had no com-plaints. After that I was sent toNew Orleans, Mayport, Floridaand Charleston, South Carolina. Itwas all a great adventure, but,after almost four years, the ranchfinally called me home. LongBeach and all the other placeswere fun to visit and live in for atime, but South Dakota is myhome. I may revisit some of theplaces I’ve lived if I get the chance,but odds are I’ll remain close tothis ranch that has always beenmy true home. It, by far, is my fa-vorite place on earth. It’s a greatplace to live.

Lookin’ Aroundby Syd Iwan

Frank Carlson and his crew wonthe ranch rodeo in Murdo on Satur-day. His team included LexGrooms, Tyler Jones and JoePavlas. It normally would have in-cluded Tyler’s brother, Michael, butMichael was involved with the ar-rival of a new baby so Joe wasdrafted in his place. Joe works onthe Ken Wilson ranch with ColterCarlson and Cole Hindman. Tyleris mostly from Kadoka, and Lex isfrom Sharps Corner. The guys didespecially well in the bronc ridingand trailer loading. The latter iswhen a critter is roped and thenloaded into a horse trailer. Franksaid they won about $1,400 whichwasn’t bad, and they had a lot offun besides. Former area resident, RoxieHanson, was back for a visit re-cently. As a result, her fellow quil-ters and friends held a potluck atthe church hall in Belvidere atnoon on Saturday to catch up onthings in her life. Roxie now livesat Mesquite, Nevada, and has for awhile. From here, she was headedto Wisconsin in company withKaren and Harvey Byrd and LoisPettyjohn to visit relatives. FayolaMansfield and Joy Dolezal saidthey had a good time together andenjoyed the event. On Sunday, Fayola Mansfieldrecalled that it had been sixmonths on that day that she felland broke her ankle. Just thisweek, her physical therapist re-leased her from having furthertreatments unless her back startsgiving her trouble, in which caseshe should return. Lucy Freeman’s oldest sister,Charlotte Clark, died this week.Charlotte was from Aberdeenwhere her husband was a professorat the college there. Her funeralwas held in Kadoka on Sundaywith internment at the nationalcemetery in Sturgis on Monday.Lucy said her nephews, Wade Wil-son of Minnesota and Bob Wilsonfrom Oklahoma, came for the serv-ices. They are the sons of Lucy’sbrother, the late Kenny Wilson. Jim, Georgann and Jami Addi-son attended the ranch rodeo inMurdo on Saturday. Jim said it wasfun to see local guys, Frank Carl-son and crew, win the event. Jim

also said the motor on one of theBelvidere fire trucks recently blewup and needs to be replaced. Any-one wishing to help with these re-pairs can contact Jim Addison. Thishas already been a busy year forthe fire department. Colter and Abby Carlson helpedtheir daughter, Erika, celebrate hersecond birthday last week. Erika’sgrandparents, Troy and Ella Hind-man, came from Kadoka for theevent as did her aunt, Bridget, andfour of her seven kids from Mid-land. Other than that, it has beentoo hot to take the kids manyplaces, and fires are a constantthreat that has to be watched for. Bunny Green had the misfor-tune of stabbing a toothpick wellinto her foot on Saturday. It waslodged unbeknownst to her on themetal strip at the bottom of thebathroom doorway and was one ofthose fat round toothpicks. Bunnygot up on Sunday planning to go tochurch until she stood up and feltthe pain, although the toothpickhad been completely pulled out thenight before. On Sunday evening,Cheryll Wells came over andhelped Bunny soak her foot in per-oxide water to help things out. Bill and Norma Headlee drove toSioux Falls and back on Sunday toget acquainted with a new grand-child, Rachael Kay Dorn. Rachaelis the daughter of their daughter,Monica, and her husband, John, ofHendricks, MN. Rachael had tostay in the hospital a few days butis expected to be released thisweek. Bill and Norma would nor-mally have stopped over at DellRapids to see their other daughter,Corale Dorn, and family, but Coraleand family had gone to Aberdeenfor the baptism of Jessica Dorn’sbaby. Jessica is the daughter ofNorma’s sister, Barb. As it has hap-pened, three DeVries-related galshave married Dorn brothers,namely Corale, Monica and Jes-sica. There is a fourth brother, buthe is a pharmacist in Minnesotaand didn’t marry into the clan. Hedoes come out this way to hunt,however. Last week, Billy and JenHeadlee and kids of Ames, Iowa,and Anora Henderson and kids ofHamill came to visit. A rattlesnakewaited until there were five grand-

kids on hand before showing up onthe Headlee doorstep. The kids gotto see how fast an irate grand-mother could chop off a rattler’shead. Chuck and Eve Fortune boughta Honda Odyssey from MelissaHuber in Kadoka last week. It re-placed an older vehicle that Evesaid they had basically “driven intothe ground.” On Saturday, Eve tookthe Honda to the dealership inRapid City to have it checked outand tuned a bit. It got a good bill ofhealth. On Thursday, Eve andAbby got together with the McKee-hans in Kadoka who are fellowhome-schoolers of their kids. Theytry to get together to support eachother, go on field trips, etc. On Sat-urday, Chuck had a disagreementwith a steel water tank and thetank got the upper hand for a whilewith Chuck underneath it. He ex-tracted himself eventually but notwithout a few sore spots. Bob For-tune spent the last week in Lander,WY, with his wife, Ruth, and gothome on Sunday. Hired man, TC,sold a horse at Philip on Tuesdaybut then turned around and boughtanother one. He enjoys horse andseemed happy with the exchange. Dana Badure said the kids andshe enjoyed their trip to Maine abit ago. They visited Dana’s dad,and the kids got to see some of theplaces around the area where Danagrew up. On Tuesday, the familyenjoyed the play day at O’Bryan’s.Rhonda Terkildsen and her grand-son, Tryce, were also there. Danasaid that Greg and she are quitebusy at the rest areas east of townsince there is a lot of traffic on theinterstate at present. She wasamused at how the abundantgrasshopper population at the restareas puts some tourists into nearpanic, especially at the west areasince they are really thick there. Athome, the kids catch the hoppersand put them into a plastic con-tainer. Then they open the con-tainer in the chicken yard andwatch the birds chase the hoppers. Mark DeVries says it is reallyquiet around his place right now.Nicci and the two youngest boysare in Idaho visiting Nicci’s folksand have already been there a cou-ple of weeks. Son Gavin is still inthe area but working for Dan Smi-ley this summer so he isn’t homevery much. Mark is pretty muchdone haying at this point so is justinto odd jobs for now. Dana DeVries came to Belvidereon Saturday and stayed the nightwith her brother, Rick, and RondaDennis. That afternoon andevening, Dana, Rick and Ronda at-tended a surprise birthday partyfor Scotti Block. Also attendingfrom this area were Bob Eckert,Larry, Jo and Jenny Johnston.

rural housing, rural business en-terprises, and rural water andwaste disposal agencies.

Meanwhile, the Agricultural Ad-justment Act of 1933 had estab-lished the Agricultural AdjustmentAdministration, or AAA. The"Triple A's" purpose was to stabilizefarm prices at a level at whichfarmers could survive. The law es-tablished state and county commit-tees of farmers called "Triple Acommittees." These committeesoversaw the first federal farm pro-gram offering price support loansto farmers to bring about crop re-duction.

The old Triple A was built on twomajor program divisions: the Divi-sion of Production and the Divisionof Processing and Marketing.These were responsible for thework of commodity sections includ-ing dairy, rice, tobacco, sugar,wheat, cotton, corn and hogs.

With the passage of the Agricul-tural Adjustment Act of 1938 and ageneral reorganization of the De-partment of Agriculture that Octo-ber came new, complicated changesin conservation, crop support andmarketing legislation. Programssuch as commodity marketing con-trols, and the policy of the Con-gress to assist farmers in obtainingparity prices and parity income,made the federal government thedecision-maker for the nation'sfarmers.

After Pearl Harbor, the WarFood Administration (WFA) was or-ganized to meet the increasedneeds of a country at war. This re-organization grouped production,supply and marketing authoritiesunder a central agency which coor-dinated the flow of basic commodi-ties.

Following World War II, the au-thority of the WFA was terminated.In its place came the Productionand Marketing Administration,which, aside from other responsi-bilities, maintained a field servicesbranch to aid in program oversight.

The post-war period of adjust-ment to peace-time production lev-els was almost as difficult asgearing up for war. New prioritieshad to be established, and at thesame time, over-production of cer-tain commodities threatened dropsin farm income levels. The in-creased needs of war-ravaged na-tions helped absorb surplusproduction, but surpluses re-mained a nagging problem forfarmers and policymakers.

In 1953, a reorganization ofUSDA again made changes in the

powers and duties of its price sup-port and supply managementagency. With the changes came anew name - Commodity Stabiliza-tion Service - and an increased em-phasis on the preservation of farmincome. Conserving programs suchas the Soil Bank were introduced tobring production in line with de-mand by taking land out of produc-tion for periods of time ranging upto 10 years. Community, countyand state committees were for-mally identified for the first time asAgricultural Stabilization and Con-servation committees.

The Commodity StabilizationService became the AgriculturalStabilization and ConservationService (ASCS) in 1961, and thenew name reflected the agency'sstabilization and resource conser-vation missions. Field activities inconnection with farm programscontinue to be carried out throughan extensive network of state andcounty field offices.

In 1994, a reorganization ofUSDA resulted in the ConsolidatedFarm Service Agency, renamedFarm Service Agency in November1995. The new FSA encompassedthe Agricultural Stabilization andConservation Service, FederalCrop Insurance Corporation(FCIC) and the farm credit portionof the Farmers Home Administra-tion. In May 1996 FCIC became theRisk Management Agency.

Today, FSA's responsibilities areorganized into five areas: FarmPrograms, Farm Loans, Commod-ity Operations, Management andState Operations. The agency con-tinues to provide America's farmerswith a strong safety net throughthe administration of farm com-modity programs. FSA also imple-ments ad hoc disaster programs.FSA's long-standing tradition ofconserving the nation's natural re-sources continues through the Con-servation Reserve Program. Theagency provides credit to agricul-tural producers who are unable toreceive private, commercial credit.FSA places special emphasis onproviding loans to beginning, mi-nority and women farmers andranchers. Its Commodity Opera-tions division purchases and deliv-ers commodities for use inhumanitarian programs at homeand abroad. FSA programs helpfeed America's school children andhungry people around the globe.Additionally, the agency supportsthe nation's disabled citizens bypurchasing products made by thesepersons.

The Farm Service Agency tracesits beginnings to 1933, in thedepths of the Great Depression. Awave of discontent caused bymounting unemployment and farmfailures had helped elect PresidentFranklin Delano Roosevelt, whopromised Americans a "New Deal."

One result was the establish-ment in 1935 of a Department ofAgriculture agency with familiarinitials: FSA, which stood for FarmSecurity Administration. Origi-nally called the Resettlement Ad-ministration, and renamed in 1937,its original mission was to relocateentire farm communities to areasin which it was hoped farmingcould be carried out more prof-itably. But resettlement was con-troversial and expensive, and itsresults ambiguous. Other rolessoon became more important, in-cluding the Standard Rural Reha-bilitation Loan Program, whichprovided credit, farm and homemanagement planning and techni-cal supervision. This was the fore-runner of the farm loan programsof the Farmers Home Administra-tion.

Another related program wasDebt Adjustment and Tenure Im-provement. FSA county supervi-sors, sometimes with the help ofvolunteer committees of local farm-ers, would work with farmers andtheir debtors to try to arbitrateagreements and head off foreclo-sure. The idea was to reach a dealby which the bank could recover asmuch or more than it wouldthrough foreclosure by allowing thefarmer to remain in business.

FSA also promoted co-ops andeven provided medical care to poorrural families. Although the scopeof its programs was limited, poorfarm families who took part bene-fited greatly. One study estimatesthat families who participated inFSA programs saw their incomesrise by 69 percent between 1937and 1941! Annual per capita meatconsumption increased from 85pounds to 447 pounds in the sameperiod. Milk consumption in-creased by more than half.

In 1946 the Farmers Home Ad-ministration Act consolidated theFarm Security Administration withthe Emergency Crop and FeedLoan Division of the Farm CreditAdministration - a quasi-govern-mental agency that still existstoday. This Act added authorities tothe new Farmers Home Adminis-tration that included insuringloans made by other lenders. Laterlegislation established lending for

The South Dakota Departmentof Agriculture (SDDA) recently an-nounced changes in the SouthDakota Certified Enrolled CattleProgram. The program was initially devel-oped to ensure a quality live cattlesource for South Dakota Certi-fiedTM Beef. However, it is appar-ent that the state’s enrolled cattleprogram has value on a muchbroader scale for other age- andsource-verified beef programs. The South Dakota Certified En-rolled CattleTM Program websitewww.sdcec.sd.gov was recently up-dated. The website can be used bycurrent producers as well as thoselooking for more information on theprogram and producers who wishto re-enroll in the program. Prior to submitting an applica-tion for participation, producersmust first have a South DakotaBeef Quality Assurance/Critical

Management Plan (BQA/CMP) cer-tification. BQA training will beheld during the Dakota Fest inMitchell on Aug. 21-23. SDDA has contracted ViewtrackTechnologies to rebuild and main-tain a data management systemthat is easy to access and use. Pro-ducers will be able to enroll, trans-fer, and make updates on theircattle through the database. Thelink to the data base can be foundon the home page ofwww.sdcec.sd.gov For more details contact SarahJorgensen at SDDA at 773-5436. Agriculture is South Dakota'sNo. 1 industry, generating nearly$21 billion in annual economic ac-tivity and employing more than80,000 South Dakotans. The SouthDakota Department of Agricul-ture's mission is to promote, pro-tect, preserve and improve thisindustry for today and tomorrow.

Nitrates in Drought-stressedCrops

Commuting from the Kennebecarea to the Regional ExtensionCenter in Winner most daysmeans frequent trips to the gaspump, but provides a good oppor-tunity for regular, windshield sur-veys of crop and pastureconditions. Unfortunately, the pastfew weeks have shown a steady de-cline in the state of both crops andrangeland.

I often do more than a wind-shield survey, and pull into an ap-proach for a closer look, whichadds to the assessment. One strik-ing difference is how no-till corn isholding on better than conven-tional-tilled fields. If the no-tillfields don’t receive significant rainsoon, they will suffer large yield re-ductions as well as the tilled ones,but are more likely to producegrain if rain falls; and will producemore forage if that is their destina-tion.In listening to the market reportthis afternoon during a quick cropassessment, choosing betweenholding off for a grain crop and sal-vaging the crop as livestock feedcan be important. Some corn fieldshave completed pollination, withrelatively good success. If thosefields receive rain soon, they mayproduce substantial income at cur-rent prices, even if yields aredown.

Scattered areas have receivedsome rain, but as one producerwho recently received just over 2”commented, “you wouldn’t knowit.” As producers contemplate har-vesting corn or other crops for live-stock forage, the standardrecommendation is, test for ni-trates. An important piece of infor-mation for producers who receiverain on stressed crops, that mois-ture can affect nitrate levels in theplant. If the plant is/was stressedfor moisture, and had accumulatednitrates, but wasn’t too far gone torespond to the rain, the nitratelevel may spike for a brief period oftime, and then distribute itself inthe plant as it resumes growth,lowering the concentration. If thedecision had already been made toharvest the crop as forage, it mightbe best to wait a few days for thisprocess to take place before har-vesting.

Although some early nitratetests have revealed potentiallytoxic levels, the ensiling process,which can reduce the nitrate levelbetween 30-60%, will make mostcorn able to be utilized. If the cropwas fertilized with high rates ofNitrogen, and/or otherwise is be-lieved to be high in nitrates, theremay be reason to have a sample

analyzed before harvesting. Inmost cases however, samplingafter the ensiling process has com-pleted may be the most practical.

For crops intended to be baled,green chopped for immediate feed-ing or grazed, however, lab analy-sis of the standing crop may bejustified. The difficulty in gettinga representative sample of stand-ing crops should be recognized. Alogical recommendation is to sub-mit several plants from particu-larly poor areas and better lookingareas separately, and have themanalyzed as individual samples. Ifthe nitrate levels are low enoughthat they can be utilized whenmixed as part of the ration, baledforage should be sampled with aprobe and analyzed for a more ac-curate assessment.

Animals to be turned in to grazecrops with some level of nitrateshould be filled up with safe for-ages before doing so, and intro-duced to the crop gradually, 1 hourthe first day, 2-3 the second day,etc. Livestock can adapt somewhatto moderate levels of nitrate in thismanner.
