Jerri Young, County Clerk/Election Official Emergency Support to Producers in Surrounding Counties Also Available WASHINGTON, June 26, 2020 — Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue designated two Colorado counties as primary natural disaster areas. Producers in Cheyenne and Lincoln counties who suffered losses due to recent drought, may be eligible for U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Farm Service Agency (FSA) emergency loans. This natural disaster designation allows FSA to extend much-needed emergency credit to producers recovering from natural disasters. Emergency loans can be used to meet various recovery needs including the replacement of essential items such as equipment or livestock, reorganization of a farming operation or the refinance of certain debts. Producers in the contiguous Colorado counties of Arapahoe, Crowley, Elbert, El Paso, Kiowa, Kit Carson, Pueblo, and Washington, as well as Greeley and Wallace counties in Kansas, are also eligible to apply for emergency loans. The deadline to apply for these emergency loans is Feb. 11, 2021. FSA will review the loans based on the extent of losses, security available and repayment ability. FSA has a variety of additional programs to help farmers recover from the impacts of this disaster. FSA programs that do not require a disaster declaration include: Emergency Assistance for Livestock, Honeybees and Farm-Raised Fish Program; Emergency Conservation Program; Livestock Forage Disaster Program; Livestock Indemnity Program; Operating and Farm Ownership Loans; and the Tree Assistance Program. Farmers may contact their local USDA service center for further information on eligibility requirements and application procedures for these and other programs.

USDA Designates Two Colorado Counties as Primary Natural Disaster Areas By Dale Younker As I’m out and about promoting soil health at field days, crop tours and conferences I typically run into a farmer or two that think what I’m talking about is voodoo science and this whole no-till/soil health thing is a bunch of malarkey They claim that you need to “open up and fluff up the soil with tillage” so it can take in moisture and that no-till just makes the ground hard making it difficult for water to get through. Tradition may make you think that is the case. After all farmers have been using tillage since almost the beginning of time and it is what dad and granddad did. But the opposite is true. To start with, most tillage creates compaction layers that only allow the moisture to get into soil just a few inches before it begins to runoff or pond. But more importantly tillage destroys soil aggregates, and the soil biology that helps form them. A soil aggregate is a whole bunch of individual soil particles held together into bigger sizes by biological glues that soil organisms, like fungi, bacteria and earthworm secrete. By the way these soil organisms rely on a living plant to survive. Decomposing soil organic matter also provide organic glues. These bigger “clumps” of soil provide pore spaces so when it does rainwater can get into the soil. Think of it of how water well works. We use large pieces of gravel and rock to fill in behind the well casing to provide large pore spaces for water to get into the well. If we would use something smaller in size, like clay particles, there would be smaller and fewer pore spaces so very little water would get into the well. Same goes for the soil. The fewer and smaller pore spaces the less water infiltration there will be. In addition, soil particles easily break away from each other when water enters an aggregate with low stability. These soil particles fill surface pore spaces and form a hard crust on the soil surface when the soil dries. Water has difficulty penetrating this crust and it typically runs off, which causes erosion. The crust can also restrict seedling emergence. In western Kansas dryland cropping systems it’s all about water. The more we can capture and store in the soil profile the better chance we have a growing a good, productive crop. Stable soil aggregates, that don’t break apart when water enters them provide more pore spaces for water to enter. This also increases the soil’s water holding capacity. Good aggregate stability also helps in root development, which helps the plant take up more water and nutrients. The soil is also more resistant to erosion. So how do we improve our soil aggregate stability? The simple answer is to reduce tillage. Excessive tillage physically breaks down soil aggregates and disturbs the soil organisms that secrete the glues that hold soil particles together. Over time it also depletes soil organic matter which is also important to aggregate stability. I get that an occasional tillage operation may be necessary and the best tool to use for the circumstance. But when it comes to improving the water infiltration and increasing the soil’s water holding capacity tillage is not your friend.

Producers in Cheyenne and Lincoln counties who suffered losses due to recent drought, may be eligible for U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Farm Service Agency (FSA) emergency loans.
This natural disaster designation allows FSA to extend much-needed emergency credit to producers recovering from natural disasters.

Producers in the contiguous Colorado counties of Arapahoe, Crowley, Elbert, El Paso, Kiowa, Kit Carson, Pueblo, and Washington, as well as Greeley and Wallace
counties in Kansas, are also eligible to apply for emergency loans.
The deadline to apply for these emergency loans is Feb. 11, 2021.
FSA will review the loans based on the extent of losses, security available and repayment ability.
FSA has a variety of additional programs to help farmers recover from the impacts of this disaster. FSA programs that do not require a disaster declaration include: Emergency Assistance for Livestock, Honeybees and Farm-Raised Fish Program; Emergency Conservation Program; Livestock Forage Disaster Program; Livestock Indemnity Program; Operating and Farm Ownership Loans; and the Tree Assistance Program.

USDA Designates Two Colorado Counties as Primary Natural Disaster Areas
By Dale YounkerAs I’m out and about
promoting soil health at field days, crop tours and conferences I typically run into a farmer or two that think what I’m talking about is voodoo science and this whole no-till/soil health thing is a bunch of malarkey They claim that you need to “open up and fluff up the soil with tillage” so it can take in moisture and that no-till just makes the ground hard making it difficult for water to get through.

To start with, most tillage creates compaction layers that only allow the moisture to get into soil just a few inches before it begins to runoff or pond. But more importantly tillage destroys soil aggregates, and the soil biology that helps form them.
A soil aggregate is a whole bunch of individual soil particles held together into bigger sizes by biological glues that soil organisms, like fungi, bacteria and earthworm secrete. By the way these soil organisms rely on a living plant to survive. Decomposing soil organic matter also provide organic glues.
