    by Kindra GordonThe year was 1907 and agricultural leaders in

    South Dakota recognized that conducting researchon the soils, crops and rangelands of South Dakotawould be important to helping the state's futureprogress.

    With much of the research at that time focusedon the areas near the South Dakota State Univer-sity campus in Brookings, they looked west to theheart of South Dakota's rangeland. The Agricul-tural Experiment Station at SDSU established theCottonwood Range and Livestock Field ResearchStation near Philip and 106 years later, SDSUscientists are still conducting studies to benefitSouth Dakota agriculture.

    Located along U.S. Hwy. 14 approximately 12miles west of the town of Philip and more than300 miles from the campus in Brookings the sta-tion initially included 640 acres and research fo-cused on crops and soils. In 1940, 2,000 acres offederal land were added and research was ex-panded to include grazing and nutrition studies.

    In 1942, a long-term grazing study was initiatedat the Cottonwood station to evaluate the impactof range condition on range ecosystem dynamicsand livestock production. This ongoing study pro-vides an opportunity to examine the responses ofmixed grass prairie ecosystems to a wide array ofclimatic conditions and grazing systems, and hasresulted in scientific papers that challenge severallong held range paradigms.

    SDSU rangeland management professor and Ex-tension Range Specialist Roger Gates explainedthe value of having several decades of research in-formation, The long-term stocking rate studies atCottonwood are extremely important scientificallybecause only a few locations nationwide havemaintained studies for so many years. This re-search forms the foundation for scientific under-standing of vegetation dynamics and response tograzing in the Northern Plains. Current ecologicalsite descriptions, which are used to guide manage-ment, are derived directly from Cottonwood re-search for clayey ecological sites, one of the mostwidespread in western South Dakota.

    He added, "The same long-term studies have

    more recently been used to understand relation-ships of vegetation production to climatic variationand the relationships of financial returns to stock-ing decisions. Commitment to maintaining longterm research has provided a very important re-source to help ranchers and their advisors make ra-tional management decisions."

    SDSU Extension Beef Specialist Ken Olsonadded, "Most research is short term, meaning theexperiment is conducted for three years at themost. However, responses in agricultural systems

    Cottonwood Range and Livestock Field Station data for 106 years

    are typically slow and dynamic, and in the rarelong-term studies in existence like what we areable to do at Cottonwood, we often find that thelong-term conclusions change dramatically fromthose drawn in the early years.

    SDSU range science professor Sandy Smart hascompleted research with analysis from the historicdata sets and that inform- ation provided insightinto the ability to predict forage production fromweather variables. Smart also analyzed Cotton-wood data along with other long-term data setsfrom several states in the Great Plains to gain abetter understanding of harvest efficiency underdifferent stocking rates.

    Presently, Smart is working on measuring an-nual root production to help develop models to pre-dict runoff, sediment yield, nitrogen and phospho-rus from rangelands.

    As a result of this long-term research, SDSU sci-entists and South Dakota livestock producers read-ily agree that the research conducted at the Cot-tonwood field station has been instrumental in de-veloping and refining proper grazing managementon western South Dakota rangelands.

    In the 1990s a donation was made to update thefacilities at the Cottonwood field station to enhancelivestock research efforts at the site. The donationwas made by Lake Preston native and SDSU ani-mal science alum Bill Larson (Ph.D. '69). The Cot-

    tonwood facility improvements were completedduring 2000 and 2001 and added a feedlot area,cattle handling barn and commodity shed.

    The drylot feedlot area included 12 pens, water-ers and concrete feedbunks with capacity for up to10 head per pen. On a range based station such asCottonwood, this facility allows for comparing live-stock response to various treatments in drylot ver-sus grazing conditions or for studying responses toa forage based diet in a more controlled settingthan on pasture.

    Today, research at this 2,640 acre facility contin-ues to focus on range and cow-calf management.Recent research studies have evaluated waterquality issues during persistent drought, use ofdried distillers grains for supplementation, andcurrently are focusing work on heifer developmentand utilizing the cowherd for fetal programming

    studies. The station is used to develop and calveout more than 100 heifers which are utilized for re-search programs, and yearlings are purchased foradditional research projects.

    SDSU range science professor Pat Johnson hasconducted research at the Cottonwood field stationfor 25 years and said facility improvements at thestation have been critical to ensuring quality re-search continues there. She stated, "The Cotton-wood station has focused on range livestock pro-duction throughout its history, however the addi-

    tion of the feedlot and cattle feeding and handlingfacilities has dramatically improved our ability toevaluate the consequences of grazing strategies onlivestock production. Without the feedlot pens andcommodity shed, the water quality work that weconducted would have been impossible. They al-lowed us to evaluate the impact of various levels ofsulfate on animal production and to compare ani-mal responses to sulfate in water in both drylot andrangeland situations."

    She continued, "These facilities have vastly in-creased the scope and quality of the research forfaculty and students and the Extension program-ming conducted at the station in the past, and willcontinue to do so into the future.

    For the future, the traditional range researchwork will continue along with new projects, suchas fetal programming studies being initiated bySDSU meat science assistant professor AmandaBlair. With funding from two grants, she reported,We have utilized nearly all of the cows from theCottonwood station for this project and relied onthe feedlot area, working facilities, commodity stor-age areas, unit manager and pastures for comple-tion of this work. It is my hope that these studiesare only the beginning of much more research link-ing the beef production chain from conception toconsumption, and I plan to continue utilizing theresources of the Cottonwood station for this work.

    In 2013, another upgrade was made to the Cot-tonwood field station with the addition of a modernmulti-purpose facility to enhance the researchwork being done. Built through private donations,the facility includes office space, a laboratory withseparate drying and grinding rooms for samplepreparation and analysis, a heated shop area, a se-cure feed storage area and a machinery storagearea.

    An open house at the Cottonwood Range andLivestock Field Station will be held Saturday, Sep-tember 7. Current research project information willbe shared by SDSU faculty along with tours of thenew multi-purpose facility.

    Presently, David Gay serves as the CottonwoodRange and Livestock Field Station's superintend-ent. He began his tenure in October 2008, replacing

    Ron Haigh, who retired from SDSU after morethan 30 years of service.Cottonwood is one of five field research stations

    across the state operated by SDSU's AgriculturalExperiment Station. Additional stations includeAntelope Range Livestock Research Station nearBuffalo; Northeast Research Station near SouthShore; Southeast South Dakota Experiment Sta-tion near Beresford; and Dakota Lakes ResearchFarm near Pierre

    by Laurie HindmanSuperintendent Dennis Rieckman informed the

    Wall School Board the new security doors havebeen installed during their Wednesday, August 14meeting in the library.

    The doors will be locked until 3:45 p.m. Parentsand visitors will have to be buzzed into school andthen go to the office before they will be alloweddown the hallways, said Rieckman. He noted, it isgoing to take a lot of patience on all parties untilwe get the bugs worked out.

    The Wall School is to be commended on theirSouth Dakota Report Card. Out of 300 elementaryschools, Wall Elementary School ranked 17th andout of 154 middle schools, Wall Middle School

    ranked 15th. The Wall High School ranked secondin the state. This is the second year the school hasearned a classification of Exemplary.

    Wall School meets the new meal pattern stan-dards for their nutritional lunch program, saidLynn Dunker.

    Dunker and Cindy Weaver who attended a foodservice workshop in Aberdeen, gave an overview ofwhat was discussed during the meetings. Dunkeralso related we were given the new guidelines forthe breakfast program and we have put together arotating menu for the first 12 weeks of school.

    Board Member Mary Williams asked if studentsare receiving enough of the main entree? Weaverand Dunker explained students kindergartenthrough fifth grade can receive only one entree ac-cording to the nutritional guidelines while sixththrough 12 grade can come back for seconds if theyhave signed up. All students are offered as muchfresh fruits and vegetables as they want, repliedWeaver and Dunker.

    Williams then asked if students can sign up forseconds the day of instead of the day before? Su-perintendent Dennis Rieckman said they would tryit.

    Business Manager Niki Mohr informed theboard the audit has been complete and it wentgood. She pointed out to the board a budget changeto the LEA account. The account will be increasedto $10,000 for the Black Hills On-Line learningservice. Rieckman said they have several studentswho will be taking their courses through the serv-ice this school year.

    Rieckman passed around several open enroll-ment applications which were approved by theboard. He added the school will have 15 new stu-dents this year and will be loosing nine. The fresh-men class will be the biggest with 26 students.

    Sports rules were approved for the football, vol-leyball and cross country season. Board MemberPam Johnson commented on the athletic expecta-tions and felt the dress code should be enforced on

    the length of dresses and skirts for the female ath-letes.

    Head Football Coach Kent Anderson informedthe board that all volunteer coaches have com-pleted their coaching on-line classes and he hastheir certificates in his office if anyone would liketo look at them.

    The board and Anderson discussed a baselinecomputerized neurocognitive test. Athletes wouldtake the test pre-season and if he/she would sus-tain a concussion, the athlete is tested again. Thetest scores are then compared to the baseline scoresacquired earlier before a concussion injury. Ander-son noted this gives the doctor an extra step to pro-tect the kid from further injury. The cost is $500and Paul Richter will test the athletes before thesports season begins. The board approved his re-quest.

    Other motions made and approved.Agenda.Minutes of July 10, 2013 board meeting.2013 - 2014 staff contracts for Ella Campbell,

    WASP Director and Todd Grimmett, Custodian.Approve addendum for Ronda Wilson to add the

    other half of Student Council Advisor to her con-

    tract and to remove Senior Class Co-Advisor fromher contract.Approve Addendum for David Ermish to change

    lane from BA+40 to BA+52 and add Co-Advisor forSenior Class.

    K-6 Handbook.Big White Handbook.Elementary Title 1 Handbook.Middle School Title 1 Handbook.7- 12 Handbook.Practices for football, volleyball and cross coun-

    try have started with the first football game to beheld in Wall on August 30 against White River.

    by Laurie HindmanAn update on the special assessment for the Wall

    Ambulance District was discussed by the board atthe Wall Community center meeting room. Car-olynn Anderson has spoken to the attorney and in-formed the board he will be sending them an opin-ion on how the state statute reads.

    The board approved to hold a meeting on August29 to discuss the issue further.

    The 2014 budget was reviewed which is $20,000short per Andersons projections. John Kittermanasked as the president of the ambulance servicewhy he wasnt asked to be included in the budgetmeeting. Wall Ambulance District President WallyHoffman apologized to Kitterman and said he hadasked Dawn Hilgenkamp to sit in on the meetingand should have included Kitterman also. Kitter-man said the budget should have been run by theambulance service first then the board could havetweaked it.

    Kitterman informed the board the service will beneeding new laptop computers which will cost be-tween $1,500 - $2,000 a piece. He went on to saythe computers are the most important pieces ofequipment we have in the ambulances. We do ourreports and billing for PCC on them. The board willlook at the budget to see when they can be pur-chased.

    The pay increase for local EMTs which was dis-cussed at the July meeting was further discussed.It was decided to offer them $50 a run and $1 anhour when they are on call. Kitterman thoughtthat was a good idea and will ask the local EMTsto attend the August 29 meeting so both sides canwork together on the issue.

    A bill from the Wall Drug was questioned sinceAnderson only received a statement with no de-scription of what was purchased. She will call and

    ask for c larification.The following were approved through a motion:Minutes of July 16 meeting.Bills pending Wall Drug bill explanation.Financial Report.The next Wall Ambulance District meeting will

    he held on Thursday, August 29 at 7:00 p.m. in theWall Community Center meeting room.

    Hoffman adjourned the meeting.

    The new security doors have been installed at the Wall School in preparation of the first day ofschool on Tuesday, September 3.

    Gov. Dennis DaugaardSouth Dakota State Fair A

    Trend Of SuccessIts that time of year again

    when the leaves are about toturn, the days get shorter and ourkids go back to school.

    But before the summer ends,families are invited to attend theSouth Dakota State Fair fromAug. 29 to Sept. 2 in Huron.

    For the last six years, the StateFair has charted a consistenttrend of success, with year-over-year increases in virtually allareas.

    Since 2006, attendance has in-creased an incredible 44 percent,from 133,000 to more than192,000, and with good weather,we may set another all-timerecord in 2013.

    Once again, all of the 1,300-plus campsites will be full, vendorspaces are sold-out and exhibitnumbers continue to be strong.

    As always, there will be plentyof things to see and do.

    Come enjoy music and other en-tertainment on six different free

    stages and the grandstand. Bringyour kids to the pig races or theFFA animal nursery. Stroll overfor some cotton candy or go on acarnival ride. Test your skill inthe arm wrestling competition,the hot dog eating contest or thebeef and chili cook-offs.

    Experience a taste of the OldWest at the bull riding and cow-

    boy mounted shooting events.Grab a cold one in the beer gar-

    den and wine pavilion, or remi-nisce with an old friend on a trol-ley ride around the grounds.

    Of course, dont forget to sup-port tomorrows leaders our 4-Hand FFA members by viewingtheir static projects and livestockexhibits.

    You can check out the fullschedule of events online atwww.sdstatefair.com.

    As part of the Fairs continuingimprovement efforts, the StateFair Foundation and 4-H arepartnering on a $4 million capitalcampaign to construct a new,multi-use 4-H Exhibition Hall to

    replace the old Clover Hall.This project will provide space

    to showcase the hard work of ouryoung people and engage them inhands-on learning activities. Itwill also help students prepare forcareers in engineering, manufac-turing, mechanics and agriculture jobs that are available now andthat will be in ever-greater de-

    mand in the coming years.The project is supported en-

    tirely by private donations; tocontribute or find out more,please call 605-353-7340.

    I am proud of Manager JeromeHertel and the Department ofAgriculture who have done agreat job of building the Fair intoone of South Dakotas premierevents.

    Come experience this continu-ing trend of success by bringingyour family to the starry nightsand midway lights of the SouthDakota State Fair. I hope to seeyou there!

    * * * * *Pesticide Container Recycling

    CollectionsThere are a few pesticide con-

    tainer recycling collections comingup in south-central and southwest-ern South Dakota, conducted bythe South Dakota Department of

    Agriculture (SDDA).Remaining locations and dates

    include: Murdo Sept. 3, Winner Sept./4, Philip Sept./9, Martin Sept./9, Belle Fourche Sept./10,Rapid City Sept./11, and Wall Sept./11.

    The program collects and recy-cles agricultural, home and gardenpesticide containers. The planneddates for each location are listedon igrow.org at:http://igrow.org/up/articles/P6028-2013.pdf (all times are local).

    The containers collected must bemade from high density polyethyl-ene (HDPE) embossed with recy-cling symbol #2.

    Containers must be empty andtriple-rinsed to be recycled. Capsand other non-HDPE parts such asmetal handles and rubber liningscannot be recycled and can be dis-posed of as regular waste. It is rec-ommended to remove labels fromthe containers before recycling.

    * * * * *Foliar Fungicides on Corn,Soybeans and SunflowersNumerous research studies have

    been done regarding foliar fungi-cide applications on corn, soybeansand sunflowers. Results have beena mixed bag.

    Under significant fungal diseasepressure, one would naturally ex-pect yield increases for treatedcrops. More questionable practicesinclude fungicide applications withno fungal diseases present, andfungicide applications followinghail damage.

    Fungicide applications in the ab-sence of disease have producedyield increases, yield decreasesand no response.

    In considering multiple researchtrials, this practice offers littlechance of an economic return overthe long haul.

    One reason that fungicide appli-cations are considered for a hail-damaged crop is that disease infec-tion is more likely to occur afterwounding. However, foliar dis-eases managed by fungicides donot require wounds for infection. Itis also argued that crops could bemore susceptible to fungalpathogens as a result of increasedstress.

    Another reason fungicides areconsidered after hail damage isthat physiological benefits gainedfrom a fungicide application willhelp sustain or increase yield ofdamaged crops. It is important tonote that claims by the chemicalindustry do not state that fungi-cide applications recover yield po-

    The 12th annual Farm BureauGolf Tournament, Saturday, Au-gust 3, ended with the team ofLuke Weber, Craig Weber, RyanSeager and Andrew Reckling tak-ing top honors in the champi-

    onship flight.The play at the Lake WaggonerGolf Course north of Philip beganin two shotgun starts. One beganat 7:00 a.m. with nine teams, and

    The winning team of the 2013 Farm Bureau Golf Tournament, held August3 at the Lake Waggoner Golf Course, consisted of members, from left, LukeWeber, Rapid City, Ryan Seager, Philip, Andrew Reckling, Philip, and CraigWeber, Philip.

    the other began at 1:00 p.m. with19 teams. According to Glenn Par-sons, tournament organizer, therewas a little rain delay, but theplayers did not complain.

    Competition was 18-holes with

    four players per team dividinginto three flights. The tourna-ment included pin prizes and asteak dinner.

    This was the 12th annual

    Farm Bureau Golf Tournamentevent and it usually gets peoplefrom across the state, howeverthis year two members of oneteam came from Savage, Minn., asuburb of Minneapolis, said Par-sons. Other teams came fromSioux Falls, Rapid City, Faith,Presho, Wall, Kadoka, Murdo andthe surrounding areas.

    The standing recommendationfrom SDSU Extension is to scoutfor disease and consider a fungi-cide application only if warrantedand use caution before applyingfungicides to hail damaged crops.The fungicide may make the cropmore susceptible to bacterial dis-eases.

    The Beautiful Struggle!(excerpt from Fr. Dwight Longeneckers website)

    [Some years ago I watched an amazing reality TV show. The pro-

    ducers took five men to the Gulf coast of Central America and they

    had to trek across the jungle to the Pacific coast. What made it inter-

    esting is that all five suffered from a disability. A big African American

    fellow was in a wheelchairhaving lost the use of his legs throughpolio. One man was blind. Another was deaf. The fourth suffered

    from chronic depression. The last had learning difficulties.

    The camera crew followed their trek through the jungle. At one

    point the deaf man takes the blind man by the hand to lead him

    through. The team encourages the depressed man to continue. They

    all help the man in the wheelchair drag himself and his wheelchair up

    a muddy hill and across a swollen river. It made for riveting viewing

    and was a reminder to me all the way through of our shared pilgrim-

    age through this life.

    After one particularly grueling day the man in the wheelchair was

    interviewed. Why are you doing this? the interviewer asked. With

    his eyes welling up the big fellow in the wheelchair said in his deep

    voice. Its the beautiful struggle man, its the beautiful struggle! ]

    THANK YOU, SHIRRISE and MORRIS LINN, LONNIE and

    TERI ARNESON, MARGARET NACHTIGALL, MEL and

    He fondly remembered all thestudents he was privileged toteach and coach, each of whom heremembered with incredible de-tail. As a teacher and coach, hewould not tolerate bullying, anddemanded loyalty and respect foreveryone.

    He loved to teach anyone whohad an open mind, especially hischildren and six grandchildren.He was a philosopher, storytellerand poet who studied all aspectsof life. He stimulated discussionwith the coffee group in Kadokawith questions such as Whatsthe difference between freedomand liberty; happiness and con-tentment; or respect and love? Hebelieved in living life with memo-ries in mind and the importance of
