The Sibley County Com-missioners voted to do both atemporary repair and to find along-term solution to flooddamage on CSAH 6 at themeeting on Tuesday, July 22.

For three years in a row,CSAH 6 had major washoutsand ditch repairs after majorflooding events. It was decid-ed the road has to be repairedas soon as possible becauseof local commerce and publicsafety. Tim Becker, PublicWorks Director, said the esti-mated cost is between $60-75,000.

Becker also proposed aprocess to raise the road outof the flood plain to get amore permanent solution,which he estimates costingabout $130,000. Commis-sioners said to start on bothprojects as soon as possible.A special meeting may haveto be called depending onwhen bids come in for thetemporary fix.

Emergency repairs onCSAH 6 include removingsilt and debris from the ditch-es between Henderson up toCSAH 25. Some ditches areentirely filled with silt, ex-tending out beyond the coun-ty’s right of way on to a lot ofprivate property. The FederalHighway Department saidthey will not pay for that de-bris removal.

Private Property Debris

“It is my recommendationthat we approach these landowners and offer to try to re-move some of the debris,”said Becker. “If we dig outthe ditches and leave debrison private property it will endup back in the ditches, floodthe culvert and we may endup with major expenses.”

The board gave publicworks the ok to go ask forpermission from the landowners to remove debris.Owners will be asked if theycan use the debris for fillelsewhere on their property.Becker said all the debris isbeing moved to the countypit, which is filling up quick-ly.

The county can go aheadand make temporary repairand pay for it initially. Then,the Federal Highway Depart-ment will determine if theproject is eligible for fundingor not.

Permanent Solution

Regarding a permanent so-lution to CSAH 6, Beckersaid he had some preliminarydiscussions with the Min-nesota Department of Trans-portation (MnDOT) and U.S.Fish and Wildlife.

“This last flood event hasreally silted in the valley,”proclaimed Becker. “CSAH 6

was always four to six feetabove ground level. Nowafter this flood event we havean additional five feet of silt.At two of our bridges, wherewe would have eight feet tothe ditch bottom, we haveonly six inches of clearanceleft. There is silt from ourCSAH 6 all the way to theMinnesota River Valley thatis eight to nine feet deep.”

Becker said Fish andWildlife gave the county per-mission to excavate the ditch-es from up to 100 feet from abridge to give some capacityfor a big rain. However, hesaid this is not a long term so-lution and the ditches couldeasily be filled back in eachspring rain event.

ConsultantsSought

“We may have to approachsome consultants to discussalternatives to this problemsuch as raising the road levelfive to six feet to get it out ofthe flood plain,” advisedBecker. “Without review ofthe hydraulics we won’tknow what the culvert canhandle. We can view thedrainage area of the entiresite and try to determinewhere the runoff is comingfrom. Part of solution will beputting in some type of debriscatcher structure.”

Becker said the FederalHighway Department has ap-

proved the county hiring aconsultant who will be reim-bursed at 80 percent of thecost, with 20 percent beingthe local share.

Residents Speak Out

Residents who live alongthe damaged CSAH 6 spokeat the board meeting.

Barbara and Roy Pumperlive next to the washed outroad area where they haverun a cut flower business for15 years. Roy joked the busi-ness is called gully wash gar-dens.

“When we started havingflooding problems four yearsago the county put in twosmaller culverts instead ofone big one and it did notwork,” said Barbara. “When aflood event happens, the cul-verts constantly clog with siltand debris. The gully fillswith water and big pieces ofground slump down to theriver. We have immense cliffsthat are now there with all thebrush and trees washed downthe gully with incredibleforce. It will happen again.We are asking for a perma-nent fix that will solve theproblem and not be tempo-rary.”

Debra Harvey also livesnear the washed out road. “Ifwe fix it right the first time,

The Sibley East SchoolBoard approved the commu-nity facility task force’s rec-ommendation to renovate theArlington facility and build anew elementary school inGaylord.

The proposed price tag forthe project is $43,088,525.

In the same action, at itsregular meeting on Monday,July 21, the board authorizedRA Morton, the construction

management firm overseeingthe project, to submit the pro-posal for review and com-ment to the Minnesota De-partment of Education.

After much discussion, theboard decided to move for-ward with a bond referendumvote as part of the generalelection on Nov. 4, 2014.

An early spring 2015 refer-endum vote was looked at,but by moving the vote toNovember, the district wouldsave $1,222,188 in capital-

ized interest cost. The cost for a special elec-

tion would also cost the dis-trict around $14,000.

The PlanUnder a conceptual draw-

ing for this option, a newthree-station gymnasiumwould be added onto thenorth end of the building inArlington. The current biggymnasium would be reno-vated into an auditorium.

In addition, the 1936 por-

tion of the building would bedemolished and replaced witha commons area, classroomsand kitchen.

In Gaylord, a new K-5 orK-6 building would be con-structed. Exact plans for thebuilding or location have notbeen finalized.

The thought would be tobuild the facility near thebaseball field.

A possible land trade couldhappen with the City of Gay-lord for additional land need-

ed for the project.The City of Gaylord and

Sibley County have ex-pressed interest in all or someof the existing school facilityin Gaylord.

Final details are not re-quired before submitting thereview and comment toMDE.

Task ForceThis round of facility need

assesments has been going onfor some time. RA Morton

began conducting communitymeetings with groups such asthe Arlington Chamber ofCommerce, Green Isle LionsClub, Gaylord Rotary andSertoma in Sept. 2012.

The process was put onhold while the district had aninterim superintendent andsearched for a new superin-tendent.

**Attention Arlington City Property Tax Payers**

Notice of Change to Estimated Market Values For 2014 Assessment (2015 Payable) For Property Tax Purposes

By order of the Minnesota Department of Revenue Property Tax Divi-sion – The Commissioner of Revenue has ordered State Board Changesdirecting the Sibley County Assessor to increase the value of residentialstructures 5% in the City of Arlington, which is to be applied to the 2014Assessment estimated market values. This is an order of the State Boardof Equalization and cannot be appealed to the Minnesota Tax Court.

Again, this affects only residential properties with structures in the Cityof Arlington. As a result, the values (for property tax purposes only) listedon the ‘Valuation Notices’ mailed to you this past spring are no longer ac-curate. This value will NOT match the value that has been ordered to beplaced on these properties. The 5% increase to residential structures willbe reflected in the new value that will appear on the ‘Truth in Taxation’statements mailed to you this fall for taxes payable in 2015. You will notreceive a new Valuation Notice.

The Sibley County Assessor’s Office was not in agreement with this in-crease to values, but has been ordered to do so pursuant to MinnesotaStatutes Section 273.061 subd 9(f).

If you have any questions (i.e. Did this affect my property? What is mynew value?) please contact the Sibley County Assessor’s Office at (507)237-4078 or send an email to assessor1@co.sibley.mn.us

News BriefsJudge Thomas McCarthy retires

First District Court Judge Thomas McCarthy recentlyretired after serving 26 years on the bench.

McCarthy, a Green Isle native and a 1967 graduate ofthe Arlington-Green Isle High School, practiced law inWinthrop and served as the Sibley County Attorneyfrom 1979 until February 1988. It was at that time whenMcCarthy was appointed to the bench.

Smart Snacks implementedStudents and staff at local schools will notice a

change to their vending machines and a la carte linesthis fall. On June 27, the USDA announced its finalized“Smart Snacks in School” guidelines, which affect the100,000-plus elementary, middle and high schools thataccept assistance from the National School Lunch Pro-gram.

The Smart Snacks in School rules affect “competitivefoods,” which are so called because they compete withthe lunch program. Competitive foods are snacks soldin vending machines, a la carte lunch lines and in stu-dent stores. The new rules set limits on calories, fats,sugar and sodium while ensuring snack items are pre-dominantly dairy, whole grains, protein, fruits and/orvegetables. Snacks, for instance, must contain less thanor equal to 200 calories per item. A la carte entrees mustcontain fewer than or equal to 350 calories. School di-eticians and food service staff will continue to provide avariety of choices for students to choose from.

These rules will not apply to foods brought fromhome as bagged lunches or for birthday parties, offcampus fundraisers, athletic events and school plays orfoods sold during non-school hours.

Tough MuddersTM Wellness Revolution, Inc., Arlington, had partici-pants at Tough Mudder events on Saturday, July 19and Sunday, July 20. These 22 people successfullycompleted the course on Saturday, July 19. The par-ticipants included J.J. Schauer, Sean and LindseyDrexler, Hilary Enter, Amanda Fisher, Lynn Otto, Taraand A.J. Sabako, Jodi Michaelis, Heather Giesen,Holly Kreft, Nicole Voight, Jen Carpenter, Scott and

Randi Perschau, Neil and Jen Vos, Chris Kruschke,Kevin Taafe Jr., Shawn Barta, Dan Rolf, and Craig Alli-son. Amanda Fisher and Randi Perschau returned forthe event on Sunday, July 20. Tough Mudder is a 10 to12 mile obstacle course designed by British SpecialForces to test all-around strength, stamina, teamwork,and mental grit.

even if it is a delay and incon-venience, we can stabilize thegully and the land and notallow for another event likethis to happen.”

Another resident impactedis LeRoy Chard, who owns aconstruction company. Chardsaid his business is impactedby the current detour onCSAH 6 that is 1.8 mileslong. He has 200 to 300 truckruns per day, each needing togo 10 more minutes on the de-tour. He estimates 200 truckloads takes 33 more totalhours per day.

“I agree there needs to be apermanent solution, but theroad has to be put back nomatter what happens,” saidChard. “It is critical we dosomething up stream, but wecannot wait a year. The onlyway to stop the problem is tolook upstream to build hold-ing pond structures to catchthe debris.”

Hard To Find Project Bidders

Becker said U.S. Fish andWildlife does not have to beinvolved with work done up-stream. He said only one per-mit is needed from the MPCAbecause this is not a stream orwetland, it is a culvert.

The problem may be in get-ting contractors to bid becausethey have such a heavy workload after the flood event.Becker said local contractorsare offering fair prices, but thelarger contractors have inflat-ed prices, some costing twiceas much as the engineers esti-mate.

Becker said the best casescenario would be to startconstruction on a permanentfix by December. He will startthe process, but will try to getthe work done before the nextspring flooding event.

County Flood Update

Regarding the other countyflood damage, Becker saidFEMA came July 8 and did abig picture view of the dam-age and will send a crew toget more details. Sibley Coun-ty is not yet on the list foremergency funding, but is toldit will be included.

MnDOT came to the countyJuly 9 and agreed to fund re-pairs on all 23 sites that costless than $150,000. FederalHighway officials came July10 and signed off on fundingfour of the five areas costingmore than $150,000.

Becker said FEMA indicat-ed they would only fund re-pairs for removing debrisfrom road lane lines and sur-face and not the slopes like itdid cover in recent floodevents. Unfortunately, a lot ofthe damage in the county is

from mud slides on the in-slope areas.

Overtime Approved

Most of the repair work isbeing done by the countymaintenance crew. CSAH 65is expected to open by the endof the week, leaving onlyCSAH 6 closed with a detour.Some spot emergency repairswere hired out. Becker iswaiting to do some repairsuntil FEMA can assess thedamage and approve the fund-ing.

Becker said his crews willhave several months of debrisremoval and regular mainte-nance work is falling behind.The board said it is ok to offerovertime to workers since thisis an emergency, similar to abig snowfall. Becker has twopositions to fill and has inter-views scheduled.

Sibley County has alreadygone over its 2014 budget forchildren out-of-home place-ment costs reported PublicHealth and Human ServicesDirector Vicki Stock at theboard of commissionersmeeting on Tuesday, July 22.

Stock presented the firsthalf of the year report, callingit “a little disconcerting forme.” The yearly out-of-homeplacement cost budget wasset at $387,500. The total sofar through June is $466,057.

“I said many times over thepast few years that we werevery low compared to othercounties in out-of-homeplacements and that it willturn around,” said Stock. “Iknew our budget was low be-cause we spent quite a bitmore than that last year.”

Last year the cost was$516,262. The low 2014budget of $387,500 was esti-mated based on the two yearsbefore last where in 2012 thetotal was $269,034 and in2011 it was $398,160 for theentire year. Several factorsplayed into the big rise incosts so far this year.

Increase In Child Protection

“We are at an all-time highfor having children in protec-tion (chip) services with 28open court cases,” said Stock.“We are also seeing an in-crease in children’s mentalhealth out-of-home place-ments. We have some verysick children out there whoneed to be placed.”

As far as child protection

cases are concerned, Stocksaid unfortunately SibleyCounty is seeing more fami-lies who need intervention.Already this week the countyhad three new referrals.

“Just this year we have ter-minated parental rights onfive families involving ninechildren,” said Stock. “Wehave one going to court nextmonth or so.”

Effort To Reunite Families

Stock said the county isbound by state law, that forchildren over the age of 10, itis required to try to get chil-dren back to their families orlook to terminate parentalrights.

“We are looking at bothtracks at the same time,” saidStock. “If a child is over 10we have one year to get backto the family, which is not alot of time to get back ontrack. If under age of 10 wehave six months.”

Stock said it becomes diffi-cult when one or both of theparents have to go to drugtreatment or work out otherissues. If adoption is neededthe county first looks to otherfamily members. Stock saidsometimes it works andsometimes it doesn’t.

“We were working withone family to get their childback to them while they werein a second pregnancy,” re-called Stock. “I hate to usethe term kids are getting sick-er, but cases are more seri-ous.”

Stock also noted that chil-dren in mental health or cor-rectional placements are

going to be longer termplacements.

Drugs A Factor“The reason varies why we

have child protection place-ments, but we are seeingmore that are drug related,”said Stock. “It is a state-widetrend and it is getting to be anepidemic.”

The county PH/HS staffhas a team effort and does nottake out-of-home placementslightly. Stock said they arethe last alternative.

OpinionsArlington is the

scene of many projectsagain this summer

Our View: Improvements and renovationshelp small towns survive and thrive

Letters To The Editor

Arlington, for the second consecutive summer, isthe scene of many improvement and renovation proj-ects.

The City of Arlington, on a much smaller scalecompared to last summer, has authorized the paintingof the commons areas at the Community Center. Thecity also plans to soon complete its electronic signproject. In addition, Main Street was resurfaced earli-er in the summer.

The Sibley East School Board, a few months ago,approved a very aggressive capital improvement planand a number of projects are currently underway. InArlington, for example, two of the bigger projects arethe resurfacing of the track and the installation of newlights at the football field.

Sibley County, which was a partner on the MainStreet project, authorized a reconstruction project onCounty Road 166 leading out the Arlington Sports-men’s Park.

Two new buildings and one renovated building willalso greet local and area residents who attended theSibley County Fair in Arlington starting nextWednesday.

It is more difficult than ever these days for smallcommunities to survive, let alone thrive. The sights ofthese various improvement and renovation projectsgives hope to the small town, school district andcounty.

City, school and county leaders should be givencredit for being aggressive and looking at the big pic-ture as many of these improvements and renovationswill have a positive impact for several years.

To The Editor,You’ve heard the story. The rich

are getting richer, and average folksare slipping lower. Inequality is afact of life on this side of heaven,but inequality in America is now athistorically high levels and gettingworse. The middle class is disap-pearing. Americans need to wake upto this self-defeating slide into eco-nomic inequality. It is totally avoid-able.

We could learn a great deal fromthe example of Henry Ford. He real-ized that the guys building theModel T were not only laborers butconsumers. He paid his Michiganautoworkers an above-average liv-

ing wage so that they could afford tobuy his cars. Generous? Yes, butalso profitable. The truth we mustall grasp is that an economy that isgood for middle class folks is alsogood for rich folks.

Wisconsin Governor Scott Walkerand the Republican majority in thelegislature are disciples of supply-side economics, otherwise known astrickle-down economics. The gener-al idea is that tax breaks and othereconomic benefits such as deregula-tion given to businesses and upperincome people will trickle down tobenefit the low and middle incomecitizens of the state. But historyshows that trickle-down economics

simply doesn’t work, and the factthat Wisconsin's economy is laggingbehind most other states is evidenceof its failure.

Let’s grasp the wisdom of trickle-UP economics. If middle and lowerclass workers have more money tospend, businesses will have morecustomers. Working class people,not businesses, are the real job cre-ators. When America's middle classis thriving, America will be prosper-ous. Well-paid workers create richpeople, not the other way around.

Harlen MenkEllsworth, Wis.

Working class people are the real job creators

To The Editor,This is in response to the guest

column by DFL Chairman Ken Mar-tin titled, “Minnesota: The State thatworks.” Martin claims that “whileRepublicans worked to protect Min-nesota’s wealthiest citizens at theexpense of our children, our mostvulnerable citizens and workingfamilies, DFL leaders have put Min-nesota back on track.”

He implies that only the rich arepaying more taxes, yet the historicspending, taxes and regulationspassed by the DFL in the last bienni-um have increased costs for all Min-nesotans, including their energybills. There are a host of red flags onthe economic horizon for Minneso-ta. The DFL budget has made theseeconomic concerns worse.

The DFL and Governor Daytonpassed a budget that is the largest inour state’s history, increasing statespending by over 12 percent this lastbiennium while the private sectorgrew by approximately only four

percent. State spending from allfunds has increased by more than$1500 for every man, woman andchild in Minnesota. This kind ofgovernment spending is irresponsi-ble and unsustainable.

While the DFL is bragging abouttheir accomplishments in the pasttwo years, consider the following:

The Small Business and Entrepre-neurial Council, which measuresstates for their tax and regulatorysystems, ranks Minnesota as the45th worst state in the nation inwhich to start a small business.

This is further confirmed by theKauffman Index of EntrepreneurialActivity who ranked Minnesota nearthe bottom for new business startups; 48th out of 50 states.

In addition the Tax Foundationnow ranks Minnesota the sixth high-est taxed and regulated state in thenation, thanks to the DFL tax andspend agenda.

It would have been very difficultfor Minnesota startup companies

like Medtronic or 3M to have be-come world leaders under the oner-ous regulations and economic poli-cies of the DFL.

One of the most troubling areas ofgrowth is the Health and HumanServices (HHS) budget which grewour total state and federal spendingby over $4 billion or a 17.5 percentincrease this past biennium. Muchof this growth was due to the expan-sion of Medicaid under Oba-macare/MNSure. In the upcomingbiennium (2016-2017) the HHSbudget is projected to grow by an-other $5 billion.

The main problem is that the fed-eral government will end their fund-ing for this expansion of Medicaidunder Obamacare/MNSure afterthree years. Then a large percentageof this $9 billion increase in theHHS budget will be transferred intothe general fund, payable by you,

Gruenhagen responds to DFL chairperson

To The Editor,I read with great interest the Let-

ter to the Editor submitted byDenise Swenson in the July 17,2014 edition of the Arlington Enter-prise. I consider Ms. Swenson asuccessful business person, a greatneighbor, and a friend, so was sur-prised and deeply disappointed thatshe overlooked many facts on the is-sues that she addressed.

As is plain to see on a drivethrough Sibley County and else-where in rural Minnesota, the Min-nesota Department of Transportationhas made it a priority to eliminateantiquated and expensive stop lightson intersections where traffic flowdoes not warrant such control.MnDOT made a compelling case,one that was well-reported by theArlington Enterprise on numerousfront page articles in late 2012 andearly 2013. I was sorry to see the

stop light removed--I viewed it as alittle slice of Americana on our mainintersection and a charming beaconto travelers. However, when the Ar-lington City Council explored theoption of bearing the cost of a newstop light and its future mainte-nance, the idea was quickly discard-ed when the $200,000-plus price tagwas realized.

Ms. Swenson writes about thenew electronic sign in front of ourbeautiful Community Center, andhow there is “another story” aboutthe three “lucky businesses” thathave been advertisers on the sign fornearly 15 years. I am unsure whatthe reader is to infer by this, but thethree respected business establish-ments purchased that space whenthe sign was originally erected. Aswas written in the Arlington Enter-prise on numerous occasions, mostrecently in the Dec. 19, 2013, issue,

those panels on the sign are going tobe replaced with new ones that moredirectly and faithfully advertise theCity of Arlington and our Communi-ty Center. As our City Staff adver-tised in the June Arlington ReportNewsletter, any Arlington business,including the Arlington Haus, maypurchase advertising time on theelectronic sign.

I am certain that Ms. Swensonand the Arlington Haus have beenmembers of the Arlington AreaChamber of Commerce for decades,and if she believes that a sign direct-ing travelers to our business districtwould bolster sales, I would specu-late that the Chamber may be recep-tive to partnering on that endeavor.I believe our EDA and City Councilwould as well.

The Big Stone Canning Co. ishaving a huge warehouse erect-ed on the railroad right-of-way,east of the stockyards, whichwill be used to store much of theincreased pack of sweet cornthis season. The warehouse willmeasure 80x44 feet, 18-feethigh, and will be built of framewith metal siding and roof.

Miss Lucille Wieman, daugh-ter of Mrs. F. H. Wieman of Ar-lington was united in marriageto Mr. Harold Gould, son of Mr.and Mrs. A. A. Gould of Min-neapolis, Monday evening, July9, at 9 p.m. The ceremony wasperformed by Rev. Wm. Brownat his home in Minneapolis.

A bolt of lightning struck andset fire to a barn on the WalterComnick farm northwest of Ar-lington when the thunder stormpassed over this section last Fri-day morning. The barn was anold structure and the loss istherefore not great, although itwill have to be replaced by anew structure. At the Hertzogfarm south of Arlington twohead of cattle were found deadin the pasture after the storm. Itis thought they were also killedby a bolt of lightning.

There is a $150,000 crop ofsweet corn in the vicinity of Ar-lington that will be ready to becanned at the local factory with-in a few weeks. The above fig-ure is about what this crop isworth to farmers and laborers ofthis community, as that is theamount of money that will beleft here as a result. A plant likethe Big Stone Canning factory isa worthwhile asset at any timebut more so in times of depres-sion like the present.

A sand cave-in at the bottomof one of the city’s deep waterwells put it out of commissionone day last week. The troublewas first noticed when sand ap-peared in the water beingpumped from the 2-inch well atthe power house. This well sup-plies most of the water for thecity and pumped the water di-rectly into the water tank. Work-men are now at work removingthe sand from the well. Howeverdrawing sand from the bottomof a 600-foot well is a slow andtedious job and it will be sometime before the job is finished.

Taxpayers of the Arlington-Green Isle school district will behappy to read in the schoolboard minutes published in thissame issue of the Enterprise thatIndependent School District No.69 closed the year with a cashbalance on hand of $50,910.72which is an increase of over$9,000 during the year. The dis-trict also bought a new schoolbus and paid out $4,000 for it.We have been informed thatseveral of the rural districtswhich annexed to District 69turned in substantial balancesafter June 30. The $50,910.72figure does not include any ofthe money which the ruralschools are contributing, asthose figures are as of June 30.

the Minnesota taxpayers andbusinesses.

For this reason, numerousstate governors have rejectedthe expansion of Medicaidunder Obamacare becausethey realized it would eventu-ally bankrupt their state budg-ets. Yet in Minnesota, Gover-nor Dayton and the DFL lead-ership blindly accepted thisexpansion of Medicaid andnow call themselves “fiscallyresponsible.”

In addition the Governor

and the DFL have refused torelease (until just this week)the health insurance premiumincreases underObamacare/MNSure untilafter the elections. Projectionsindicate there will be double-digit increases on health in-surance.

At a time when Minnesotagovernment should be re-formed and eliminate waste,fraud and duplication of serv-ices, especially with the de-mographic changes coming to

our state, the DFL’s tax-and-spend agenda places Min-nesota taxpayers, farms andsmall businesses on a courseof economic uncertainty.

A vote for conservativeGOP candidates will bringcommon sense spending toour state that will make gov-ernment live within its means,just like our families and busi-nesses have to do.

USDA Announces NewSupport For Beginning Farmers and Ranchers

USDA has announced theimplementation of new FarmBill measures and other poli-cy changes to improve the fi-nancial security of new andbeginning farmers and ranch-ers. USDA also unveiledwww.USDA.gov/newfarm-ers, a new website that willprovide a centralized, one-stop resource where begin-ning farmers and rancherscan explore the variety ofUSDA initiatives designed tohelp them succeed.

USDA’s www.usda.gov-/newfarmers has in-depth in-formation for new farmersand ranchers, including: howto increase access to land andcapital; build new market op-portunities; participate inconservation opportunities;select and use the right riskmanagement tools; and ac-cess USDA education, andtechnical support programs.These issues have been iden-tified as top priorities by newfarmers. The website willalso feature instructive casestudies about beginning farm-ers who have successfullyutilized USDA resources tostart or expand their businessoperations.

Today’s policy announce-ments in support of beginningfarmers and ranchers include:

• Waiving service fees fornew and beginning farmers orranchers to enroll in the Non-

Insured Crop Disaster Assis-tance Program (NAP) for the2014 crop year. NAP pro-vides risk management toolsto farmers who grow cropsfor which there is no crop in-surance product. Under thiswaiver, announced via an of-ficial notice to Farm ServiceAgency offices, farmers andranchers who are already en-rolled in NAP for the 2014crop year and certified tobeing a beginning farmer orsocial disadvantaged farmerare eligible for a service feerefund.

• Eliminating payment re-ductions under the Conserva-tion Reserve Program (CRP)for new and beginning farm-ers which will allow routine,prescribed, and emergencygrazing outside the primarynesting season on enrolledland consistent with approvedconservation plans. Previ-ously, farmers and ranchersgrazing on CRP land weresubject to a reduction in CRPpayments of up to 25 percent.Waiving these reductions fornew and beginning farmerswill provide extra financialsupport during times of emer-gency like drought and othernatural disasters.

• Increasing payment ratesto beginning farmers andranchers under EmergencyAssistance for Livestock,Honeybees and Farm-RaisedFish Program (ELAP).Under this provision, begin-ning and farmers can claimup 90 percent of losses forlost livestock, such as bees,under ELAP. This is a fiftypercent increase over previ-ously available paymentamounts to new and begin-ning farmers.

In the near future, USDAwill also announce additionalcrop insurance programchanges for beginning farm-ers and ranchers – includingdiscounted premiums, waiverof administrative fees, andother benefits.

Additional informationabout USDA actions in sup-port of beginning farmers andranchers is available here.
