United Blood Services donorsow have the ability to completeheir donation interview onlinehe same day of their blood dona-on appointment. With this newrvice, United Blood Services

an reduce the length of inter-ews on-site at a center or mobilerive to only essential follow-up

questions. Donors can visit theUnited Blood Services website,access the interview and print outa barcoded Fast Track DonationTicket that they must bring withthem to their appointment.

perience better, they usually saythat the interview process shouldbe simplified, shortened or auto-mated, said Jennifer Bredahl,

Regional Donor Recruitment Di-rector for United Blood Services.We took these suggestions toheart and now are happy to pro-vide this new, shortened inter-view process for our dedicateddonors.

United Blood Services encour-ages donors to give the onlinehealth history questionnaire a tryfor their next donation. There aresome important guidelines tonote, especially the fact thatdonors must complete the ques-tionnaire the same day as theirdonation. Donors still have theoption to have one of our staffmembers ask the health historyquestions, like we currently do.

All donors have to do is simply re-

quest this option when they ar-rive to donate.

Instructions can be found on-line at www.UnitedBloodSer-vices.org and by clicking theHealth History Questionnairelink on the left. Answers cannotbe saved, so donors must com-plete the 10-15 minute interviewin one sitting. Donor data isstored only in the barcoded FastTrack Donation Ticket that adonor will print following the in-terview, so a login is not required.The online donor interview wasdeveloped by Calimex USA Corp.,a software developer based in SanFrancisco.

People who are 16 or older,weigh at least 110 pounds and are

in good health are eligible to do-nate blood. Additionalheight/weight requirements applyto donors 22 and younger, anddonors who are 16 must have asigned permission from a parentor guardian.

You can try out this newprocess for Faiths next blooddrive, on July 11th. The CatholicDaughters are sponsoring thisblood drive. You may call Amy Ul-rich to schedule an appointment.There wont be one in Dupree thistime around.

A new law making it illegal foryoung drivers to use a cell phonewhile driving takes effect on Mon-day, July 1, South Dakota De-partment of Public Safety officials

remind citizens.The law, passed by the 2013

Legislature, prohibits anyonewho holds a learners permit or arestricted minors permit fromusing any handheld communica-tion device while driving. Gener-ally, such permits are issued topersons between the ages of 14and 18.

Young people still gaining ex-perience with driving really needto avoid any distractions, said

Jenna Howell, director of Legaland Regulatory Services for Pub-lic Safety. Driving is a full-timeresponsibility for all of us. That isespecially true for our younger

drivers who are still trying to getcomfortable behind the wheel of avehicle. The law emphasizes theneed to pay attention to the road.

A learner or instruction permitallows the holder to drive be-tween the hours of 6 a.m. and 10p.m. if accompanied by a personwho has a valid driver license, isat least 18 years old and has atleast one year of driving experi-ence. That person must occupy aseat beside the young driver.

A restricted mlows the holder t6 a.m. and 10 p.msion of a parent oholder of a restric

The Canadian company, Pow-ertech, Inc., plans to mine ura-nium in the Black Hills using thegroundwater of our region as atool (in situ leach mining). Therisk of permanent contaminationof our aquifers is significant. Re-habilitating groundwater wouldbe time-consuming, difficult andexpensive. All attempts to restorethe "mined" aquifers could fail.

Powertech plans to converturanium ore into yellowcake,

which would be available for ex-port, and could be used to gener-ate nuclear power or buildweapons. They risk contamina-tion of so much water for theprofit of so few, for a product thatmay do little to improve people'slives.

The people of our region goback a hundred, or in many cases,hundreds of years. Our culture ofwater use has allowed us to sur-vive, and sometimes thrive, inthis semi-arid land. From the per-

spective of the wowoman, life is pcause we view clcommon good.

If we want a water that is lifemust protect it. Wsuade our state's Wment Board membthe belief that Poturn nothing butour aquifers.

South Dakotas Highway Pa-trol will be out in force on theFourth of July with a high-visibil-ity campaign to emphasize safetravel during the holiday week-end.

The day-long saturation patrolwill involve virtually all uni-formed troopers. It is part of theHighway Patrols summer-longsafe-travel campaign, Obey theSign and Avoid the Fine.

The Fourth of July holiday pe-riod is one of the busiest of theyear for travel on state high-ways, says Col. Craig Price, su-perintendent of the Highway

After the Continental Con-gress accepted the Declaration ofIndependence, John Adams wrotea letter to his wife, Abigail, onJuly 3, 1776: I am apt to believethat it will be celebrated by suc-ceeding generations as the greatanniversary Festival. It ought tobe commemorated as the Day ofDeliverance, by solemn acts of de-votion to God Almighty. It oughtto be solemnized with pomp andparade, with shows, games,sports, guns, bells, bonfires andilluminations, from one end of

As we were driving home fromhe Hills tonight I was thinkingow beautiful our world is rightow. The multi shades of green

mixing with the blues of sage andamma grass broken by a skyline

hat was topped with a spectacu-ar South Dakota sunset. Shadesf purple, blues, reds, to pinksnd indigo all backed by streaksf gold and that gorgeous clear,ure air we breathe. Only Godould craft such glory and mix theolors to give the array that putss in awe. Then I shook myselfnd thought "Good grief" I've readay too many Zane Gray books! Ion't think I could go on for fourages like he did but it sure isretty right now. The antelopend deer you see are often fol-owed by a young fawn just dis-overing the wonders of theorld. The cows and calves are

ooking sleek and fat and theoung foals frisk around the pas-

ures. I saw some cone flowers aew days ago but they aren'tbundant yet. The yucca plantlossoms look like they've been onteroids. Every hillside seems toave some in bloom. Soon theeat of July will start to dryhings up but for now it is a sighthat only God can create! I thank

my maker for letting me live onhe prairie, an area filled withonderful folks.We buried one of those great

uys last Tuesday when we at-ended the funeral for Ernest Del-ridge which was held at theommunity Center in Union Cen-

er. There was a large attendanceom many areas. Ernest andhalk Hawks always had a story

o tell that would leave you withsmile on your face. Your heartas lighter because Ernest took

he time to visit. He made it aoint to enjoy his neighbors andiends, sharing our burdens and

ur triumphs. He never tooted hisorn and claimed he was a Chris-an, he just lived like one. I'veeen a lot of "Christians" who areo busy being "the saved ones"hey forget they're driving peopleway by not participating in theirommunity. Ernest wasn't thatay, he was just Ernest, take himr leave him. He didn't put onirs! Thankfully, Ernest andiola were blessed with childrenho continue to live in our areand make this a better world byollowing in their dads footsteps.od Bless all of you and thanks so

much for sharing him with us!Tucker and Bev Hudson, Wre-

an and Wraylee Brown spent theeekend camping with the Hud-

on clan at Deerfield Lake. Thereere about 40 in attendance

hroughout the weekend. Canoe-ng, fishing, bike riding, kayak-ng, and four wheeling was somef the entertainment along withots of good food cooked over theampfire.

Teri Brown met Hudsons atlk Creek and took the girls

home after spending 10 days withGrandpa and Grandma whiletheir folks were in Gallup, NewMexico.

Most of Jim and VonnieO'Dea's news is about Grand-

daughter Amy Deichert and herwreck with the high headed cow!While helping a neighbor on Mon-day, a cow hit Amy on the rightside, knocking her down and run-ning over her. She saw the cowcoming, but wasn't fast enough toget out of the way. Jim brought

Amy up to the highway and Von-nie met them and into Sturgisthey went. Amy's mom met themthere. Three hours later theyknew Amy had 2 fractured ribsand a punctured lung. She wasthen transferred by ambulance tothe Rapid City hospital, gettinginto a room at 3 am. Vonnie andSusan spent the night at the hos-pital with Amy. Vonnie camehome Wednesday evening when

Susan came from teaching sum-mer school in Spearfish. Amy wasdismissed Friday afternoon andwent home with her mom toSpearfish. O'Deas kept appoint-ments in Rapid Friday and vis-ited Amy before she went home.Best wishes go out to Amy. Plansfor rodeoing this summer are onhold! We are very glad to hear shecame out of this as well as shedid. Get well soon girl!

Harold and I attended the 40thAnniversary celebration for Meland Marcia Dutton Saturdayevening. All their children and allbut one grandchild were here tohelp them celebrate. All the an-niversary attendees were treatedto Newlywed Game style enter-tainment of Mel and Marcia an-swering questions about eachother. Despite Mels claim Iknow everything about thiswoman. The game proved he did-nt.

I visited with Dennis EllefsonMonday morning in Faith. Hetold me he and Wanda will bemoving to a farm near Aberdeen.We wish them the best of luck inwhatever they choose to do.

Haying continues all aroundthe area. Windrows this year looklike they should, not a wimpy lit-tle pile of weeds like we saw lastyear. The little piece of land westof our house has more round haybales on it this year than Harold

In a speech at GeorgetownUniversity, President Obama an-nounced a broad new federalmandate to reduce greenhousegas emissions from electric powerplants. The President will in-struct federal regulators to applythe Clean Air Act to carbon diox-ide issued from power plants, ef-fectively outlawing coal-burningfacilities.

South Dakotas electric cooper-atives are especially concernedabout this proposal because ruraland low-income Americans al-ready spend disproportionatelymore on energy than others.

The impact of the Presidentsplan on co-op-served families andbusinesses could be significant inSouth Dakota, said Ed Ander-son, general manager of theSouth Dakota Rural Electric As-sociation in Pierre, S.D. Ruralcommunities have been put

through an economic wringer for

the better part of a decade;theyve made incredible sacri-fices.

The Presidents plan fails totake into account electric cooper-

atives existing efforts to protectthe environment in a responsibleand cost effective manner. Withmore than 1,060 megawatts of in-stalled renewable generation ca-pacity in our portfolio, SouthDakota electric cooperatives aredoing a lot more than just talkingabout our commitment to the en-vironment. That, coupled withthe fact that electric cooperativeshave been leaders in encouragingenergy efficiency and conserva-

tion for decades, a model for a proach to addresscerns, said Ande

Grand River RoundupBy Betty Olson

Giant tomato competition Really?

We hear about giant pumpkincontests, in fact Bison MasterGardeners sponsor a heaviestpumpkin contest at their Pump-kin Fest. We hope you are tryingyour hand at growing a prizepumpkin for this year. But gianttomato contests are not common,especially in this area. Maybe weshould give that a try. The biggesttomato recorded so far as wecould find was 7 pounds, 12

ounces grown by Gordon Grahamof Edmond, Oklahoma. This win-ning tomato came from a 'Deli-cious' vine.

Most huge tomato varieties areindeterminate (plants that growand fruit all season) slicer or beef-steak types. 'Giant Belgium' pro-duces sweet fruits that average 2pounds. 'Hillbilly' is an heirloombeefsteak type with pink-and-yellow bicolored fruits that weighin at 1 to 2 pounds. 'Big Zac' is ahybrid of two heirlooms, and itregularly produces 4-to-6-poundfruits! Well known big beef toma-toes ('Beefsteak', 'Italian GiantBeefsteak', 'Watermelon Beef-steak', and 'Beefmaster'), whichproduce heavy fruits.

It's a lot of work to coax yourtomatoes into really packing onthe pounds. First of all, you'llneed to provide the best basiccare: full sun, fluffy soil withplenty of organic matter, lots ofspace between plants, an inch ofwater per week, and support(stakes or cages). Get the plantsinto the ground early and protectthem with Wall-O-Waters orcloches. Hold off on mulchinguntil the ground warms up andthe plants begin to flower. Fertil-ize every two weeks with a dilutefish emulsion fertilizer (be careful

not to provide tooyou'll get a lot of fruits).

The only rain we got this weekwas 9 hundredths last Saturday

nd its been great hayingweather. Temperatures haventeached triple digits here yet, but

with the mercury in the eightiesvery day, summer is definitely

ere. With this hot weather,Bryce and Trig almost enjoyedxing the river gaps across the

Grand River that runs throughur ranch. Casey installed our aironditioner on Wednesday and ituns every day.

We started haying Monday soll our time is spent in the hay-eld, running for parts, and fixinghe breakdowns. Did you noticehat you seldom have to repairwathers, mowers, rakes, oralers when you dont have muchay, but with a good hay crop youlmost need a full-time mechanic?

But hey were not complaining!Brad Lemmel, Red Lemmels

on with the South Dakota De-artment of Tourism, drove out

rom Pierre for the Great WesternCattle Trail Association meetingt the Heritage Center inpearfish Wednesday evening.

Rep. Lance Russell broughtopies of the proposed articles ofonfederation for us to review andhe group poured over a map ofouth Dakota to decide where tout the GWCTA cement markerso mark the Western cattle trailcross our state. The markers areeing made and donated to us by

Croell Redi-Mix. Theyve done awonderful job making the mark-rs and we hope to soon be able tose Croells advertising slogan forhe markers we place on the trailcross western South Dakota -ou know, the one that says

Theyre everywhere, theyreverywhere!

Thursday, Reub and I made arip to Laufers north of Hettingeror haying supplies and parts be-

fore Reubs appointment withMary Eggebo in Hettinger. MelEggebo is doing well, but hesgoing to have more surgery soon,so please keep him in yourprayers.

While we were in Hettinger, I

bought more tomato plants for mygarden. The tomatoes I set outearlier arent doing so well. Someof them died and the survivorshave leaves that are curled up tolook like little green balls. Every-thing in the northern part of mygarden is doing great, but theweeds and other plants on thesouth side of the garden are suf-fering from the same malady asthe tomato plants. I cant see anybugs on them, the guys plead in-nocence when I accused them ofspraying weed killer aroundthere, and Im stymied. Do any ofyou know what could be causingthis?

Derek Brinks mother, Gayla(Long) Brink, passed away Thurs-

day at Rapid City Regional Hos-pital. Gayla grew up in Bisonwhere her parents, Cliff and BeaLong, ran the City Caf on MainStreet. I sometimes babysatGayla and her younger brotherGreg. She was a wonderful personand much too young to leave thisearth. Gaylas funeral will beWednesday with burial at BlackHills National Cemetery. Oursympathy goes out to Gaylasfamily.

Our community gained a newmember Friday evening whenKelli Blair married Clint Doll inSturgis. After the beautiful cere-mony, a huge crowd of friendsand relatives gathered at theShade Valley Campground east of

Sturgis to celebrate their mar-riage and to welcome Kelli intoour neighborhood. Clints cousin,Michael Anderson, a.k.a MadDog, was one of Clints grooms-

men and he brought his new wifeMadison. Mad Dog and Madisonwere married a couple weeks agoin Colorado and it was a pleasureto meet her.

Kelli and Clint will live in thehouse where Clints grandpar-ents, Guy and Sylvia Doll, livedafter they went to work on theHackamore Ranch for Kellisgreat uncle, Harry Blair, back be-fore Clints father was born.

When I called the ranch to visitwith Clints Mom on Mondaymorning, Janet told me that Kelliand Clint were out horsebackmoving bulls. She fits in wellaround here!

Harry Blairs son, George, wasalso at the wedding. George willsoon be 92 years old and is as ex-cited as we are about the newestBlair/Doll connection. All six ofGeorges daughters, Janet, MaryBeth, Nancy, Gayle, Kathleenand Ann, plan to run in Clints

time. I think her Grandpa HarryBlair was 90 the last time heclimbed Bear Butte, so the chal-lenge is there for his younger rel-atives!

Maurice Hamilton turns 90 onTuesday, July 2nd and most ofthe Reva community gathered tohelp him celebrate at the RevaHall Sunday afternoon. 94 yearold Bob Hanson came to wish hisold friend Happy Birthday andsome of us got to wondering justhow many WWII veterans likeBob and Maurice we have left inthis area? Maurice was the onlyone we could think of in HardingCounty. Let us know if weremissing anyone, will you?

he dancing feet of the PowwowThe long prairie grass swayed

n the hot summer sun. Theoung American Indian man,

asting and praying as hewatched the grass dance in thewind, soon saw himself dancingn a similar manner. But howould this be, since he had beenorn without the full use of hisegs? The Medicine Man in his vil-age interpreted his vision. Theoy asked his mother to make anutfit in which to dance using therairie grass. He was coveredrom shoulder to ankle with long,hick, bright multi-colored fringes

made of yarn or ribbon. Hehowed his father how he wouldance, using much shoulder, armnd head movements. His foot-

work would appear like he wastumbling. A song was composedor him. He showed the village his

tyle of dance.This is how the grass dance

riginated, according to Americanndians in the Northern Plains.he grass dance is one of theance styles common at a modernowwow.

While a powwow is defined asgathering of American Indians

nd can take place for many rea-ons, it is often associated withance.

Each session of a wacipi (theakota word for powwow, pro-ounced wah chee pea) begins

with the grand entry. The eagletaff and various flags lead the

way into the dance arena. Theags represent nations, familiesnd communities. When the eagletaff is brought into the area,owwow etiquette requires spec-ators to stand and remove theirats in respect. Wacipi are openo visitors, but everyone attend-ng should follow proper eti-uette.

Veterans have an integralart in powwows as they are hon-red by leading the dancers intohe arena, said Francis White-ird of Saint Francis, an Indianducator and former director ofhe South Dakota Office of Tribal

Relations.Once all the dancers are in the

ance arena and while the spec-ators are still standing, the flagsre raised and the flag song is

ung. This is followed by a veter-ns honoring song.The master of ceremonies is

he voice of the wacipi. This per-on keeps the singers, dancersnd the general public informeds to what is happening.

The oldest form of dancing ishe traditional dance. The menanced in the middle of the dancerena and the women stood onhe side, according to Whitebird.

In the mid to late 1950s, thehawl dance for women and theancy dance for the men madeheir appearance in Lakota coun-ry. The women joined the men

and danced in the middle of thedance area, he said.

The mens northern traditionalstyle of dance was a form of story-

telling in which each warrioracted out deeds committed duringa battle or hunt.

Mens fancy dance is the mostcontemporary style of dance. It isthe most strenuous and athletic ofthe dances. The dance is fast andfeatures jumps and twirling. Theregalia is said to represent therainbow spirits with its bright col-ors and flying feathers and rib-bon.

The womens traditional dancerequires enormous stamina, con-centration and grace. Dancersstand on the outer edge of thedance arena. They barely movetheir feet and gently bend theirknees as they move up and downin rhythm with the drum.

Originating with the Ojibwe,the womens jingle dress dance isa healing dance. According to onelegend about the jingle dress, amedicine man was given a visionin which he saw his daughter andthree of her friends dancing indresses adorned with jingles.The jingle dress is made of acloth, velvet or leather baseadorned with jingles made out ofa shiny metal, usually chewingtobacco lids. The dance is in aside-step fashion designed to in-corporate the sound of the jinglesby allowing them to move.

The fancy shawl dance is themost modern of the womensdance styles. It began whenwomen started wearing theirshawls instead of draping themover their arms when dressed intheir regalia. Fancy does not referto the shawl, but to the foot workwhich involves kicks, twirls andfast movement.

The music in a wacipi comesprimarily from the drum groups

who circle the arena and playlarge, specially designed drumsand sing traditional songs.

The clothing worn by dancersis referred to as regalia, nevercostumes. Good guests at a wacipido not touch the dancers regalia.The master of ceremonies willmake announcements about eti-quette and the types of dancesbeing performed.

Indian dancing almost fadedout until contest dancing ap-peared in the mid-1960s. The in-terest in money and dancingcaught like wildfire and a resur-gence in dancing occurred,Whitebird said.

What one sees at a powwoware dancing feet, colorful regalia

and smiling faces.Information about powwows in

Initiated during the 1996-97school year, the SDHSAA Aca-demic Achievement Team Awardprogram is designed to recognizevarsity athletic teams and fine

arts groups for their academic ex-cellence. The South Dakota HighSchool Activities Association be-lieves that high school studentslearn in two distinct ways: insidethe classroom and outside theclassroom (on the stage and/orathletic field). This academic pro-gram creates a positive environ-ment for school teams to have its

members excel in the classroom.This program is also meant to mo-tivate students toward academicexcellence and to promote aca-demic encouragement from team-

mates.All varsity athletic teams andfine arts groups that participatein Association-sponsored activi-ties are eligible for this recogni-tion program. The AcademicTeam Award program provideshigh school students with the op-portunity to prove they can be

South Dakotans who head tothe beach and the pool this sum-mer should take common senseprecautions to prevent water-borne illnesses such as cryp-tosporidiosis, says a state healthofficial.

"Water sports are great physi-cal activities and we don't want todiscourage them but we do wantpeople to practice healthy swim-ming," said Bill Chalcraft, healthprotection administrator for theDepartment of Health.

In 2012, South Dakota re-ported 113 cases of the diarrhealillness caused by Cryptosporid-

ium parasites. Through May ofthis year, 37 cases have been re-ported.

Chalcraft said beaches, pools,hot tubs and waterparks can be

contaminated by runoff, the pres-ence of chlorine resistant germs,or poor maintenance. Contamina-tion can also result when individ-uals with diarrhea userecreational waters. People athigh risk for recreational waterillnesses include the young, theelderly, pregnant women, and theimmunosuppressed.

Chalcraft offered the followingprevention tips for all swimmers:

Shower with soap beforeswimming and wash your handsafter using the toilet or changingdiapers. Wash your children thor-oughly with soap before swim-

ming.Dont swim when you have di-

arrhea.Dont swallow pool water.

he curse of OndineThere is an old German folk

ale about Ondine, a beautifuloung water nymph who fell inove with a handsome mortal. Herover promised, My every wakingreath is a testimony of my love,

nd yet later Ondine discoveredhe mortal to be unfaithful. Herather the nymph king thenlaced a curse on the fickle lover

making his breathing a consciousnd not automatic process. Thus,f the mortal should fall asleep, he

would forget to breath. Eventu-lly Ondines cursed lover suc-umbed to complete exhaustion,ell asleep, and died.

The name Ondines Cursewas first used in 1962 to describehree brain surgery patients whoied resulting from the loss of theutonomic drive to breath duringleep. The name subsequentlyame to be used to describe a rareongenital syndrome in babies

with a similar inadequate breath-ng drive. More recently expertsdvise the name Ondines Cursee dropped since the word cursemplies wrongdoing and guilt tohe parents of these unfortunateabies.

I think this story better relateso the broad category of condi-ons called sleep apnea, which in-olves troubled breathing whilesleep. The word apnea actually

means no breath or breath-ess. Less than one percent of pa-ients with sleep apnea is due to

weakness of the brain-controlledutonomic drive to breath, calledentral apnea; 85 percent is dueo floppy-fatty airways that ob-

struct breathing, called obstruc-tive apnea; and the rest is due toa combination of central and ob-structive causes, called complexapnea.

Whichever the type, sleepapnea can be a dangerous, evendeadly condition, resulting in ex-cessive daytime sleepiness, de-pression, anger and irritability,memory loss, and even strokes.Whats more, prolonged low-oxy-gen causes increased risk for highblood pressure, congestive heartfailure, heart attack, and suddendeath.

Clues for this serious conditioninclude high blood pressure,morning headaches, suddenawakening with shortness ofbreath, observed spells of breath-ing cessation, especially in peoplewho are obese, loud snorers,smokers, or sedated by alcohol orsleeping meds. Then again some-times there is little warning and

sleep apnea is a silent killer.If you or your spouse couldhave sleep apnea, see your doctor.

You wouldnt want to have On-dines curse.

Longtime R-CALF USA mem-bers Dean and Delia Johnson ofFairburn, S.D. recently donated acalf for an R-CALF USA rolloversale. The final amount raised for

the one-day event was $21,300.All proceeds from this event willgo directly to helping protect therights of U.S. independent cattleproducers.

The sale was hosted by Ft.Pierre Livestock Auction in Ft.Pierre, S.D. Ft. Pierre Livestock

Auction hosts numerous fundrais-ers and meetings for R-CALFUSA each year.

Bryan Hanson, co-owner of Ft.Pierre Livestock and R-CALFUSA Vice President and RegionIII Director, said, "I believe thatall producers should have a voicewhen it comes to their livelihood.R-CALF USA not only gives thema voice, but keeps them informedof the many issues facing our in-dustry."

Dean and Delia Johnson saidthey support R-CALF USA "be-cause we know for the cattle in-dustry to have any hope ofsurvival we had to have a na-tional voice, one that was heardand respected on Capitol Hill. Wefound that in R-CALF USA.

"We decided if we donated acalf every year when we sold wemight be able to help out just alittle. It doesn't seem like much,but maybe it encourages others totake part in supporting the organ-ization as well."

They continued, "And hearing

the sale barn taljust puts R-CALburner so to speathinking about Rtles we are fightiwe've won. As annot get in this poand we won't fix

Area supporters donate o$20,000 to R-CALF USA dFt. Pierre rollover auctionWashington, D.C. - A barricade

as been erected by the U.S.House of Representatives thatupports the mistreatment of

U.S. family farmers and ranchers.Up until now the congressionalbstruction was carried out se-

retly behind closed doors. Forhe first time, however, a roll-callote was recently taken that re-eals which members of Congressre working for the multinational

meatpackers. They work to guar-ntee that family farmers andanchers have no recourse when

meatpackers engage in wrongfulctions such as retaliation, fraud,ad faith, and denial of duerocess. These wrongful actionsre driving tens of thousands ofamily farmers and ranchers outf business each year.

"We now know the names ofhese Congressional members

who work at the behest of thesemeatpackers that are trying toorce independent livestock pro-

ucers out of business so they canake control of our food supply,"aid R-CALF USA CEO Billullard.These meatpacker-beholden

members of Congress include:obert Aderholt (R-Ala.), Rodney

Alexander (R- La.), Sanfordishop, (D-Ga.), Jo Bonner (R-

Ala.), Ken Calvert (R-Calif.), Tomole (R-Okla.), Ander Crenshaw

R-Fla.), Henry Cuellar (D-exas), John Culberson (R-exas), Charlie Dent (R-Pa.),huck Fleischmann (R-Tenn.),eff Fortenberry (R-Neb.), Rodney

Frelinghuysen (R-N.J.), KayGranger (R-Texas), Tom Graves(R-Ga.), Andy Harris (R-Md.),David Joyce (R-Ohio), JackKingston (R-Ga.), Tom Latham(R-Iowa), Alan Nunnelee (R-Miss.), Bill Owens (D-N.Y.), Ed

Pastor (D-Ariz.), Harold Rogers(R-Ky.), Tom Rooney (R-Fla.),Mike Simpson (R-Idaho), David

Valadao (R-Calif.), Frank Wolf(R-Va.), Steve Womack (R-Ark.),and Keven Yoder (R-Kan.).

Their stealthy work beganwith the 2012 Agriculture Appro-priations Bill. The U.S. House in-cluded a meatpacker-protectionrider that prohibited the U.S. De-partment of Agriculture (USDA)from finalizing rules to prohibitmeatpackers from retaliatingagainst livestock and poultry pro-ducers who complain to USDA orto their members of Congress re-garding unfair or unlawful treat-ment. In addition, the riderprohibited USDA from finalizingrules to stop meatpackers fromengaging in fraud, bad faith, de-nial of due process and other un-fair, deceptive or discriminatorypractices. Similar meatpacker-protection language was slippedinto the 2013 Agriculture Appro-priations Bill. Shamelessly, theU.S. House Committee on Appro-priations has recently voted toagain include the meatpacker-protection rider in the 2014 Agri-culture Appropriations Bill thatwill soon be voted on by the entireU.S. House.

Not surprisingly, the meat-

packer-protection rider (Amend-ment No. 7) was sponsored by Re-publican Representative SteveWomack of Arkansas. TysonFresh Meats, Inc., the largest beefpacker in the United States, isheadquartered in Arkansas.

According to Bullard, the 25Republican and 4 Democrat Rep-resentatives who voted 29 to 17 topass the meatpacker-protectionrider do not support family farm-ers and ranchers.

"Quite to the contrary, whatthey propose essentially author-izes multinational meatpackersto continue to engage in retalia-tion, fraud, denial of due process,and bad faith. Their actions willauthorize these multinationalmeatpackers to continue to runrough shod over the hard-workingU.S. farmers and ranchers withno fear of consequences," saidBullard.

On Tuesday, the White Housereportedly stated that it wouldveto the 2014 Agriculture Appro-priations Bill due to budget cutsfor the USDA Food Safety and In-spection Service (FSIS).

"Like the failed House versionof the 2013 Farm Bill that also in-cluded language to protect the ap-palling and abusive actions of themeatpackers, the U.S. House, theU.S. Senate, and the White Houseshould again reject completelythe efforts of beholden congres-sional members to assist theirmeatpacker buddies in the ex-ploitation of U.S. farmers andranchers," concluded Bullard.

up for DCPNAP Coverage Available for

2014 Annual Forage CropsSouth Dakota FSA will offerNoninsured Crop Disaster Assis-ance Program (NAP) coverageor 2014 crops that are planted

annually and used for livestockeed or fodder.

The Risk Management AgencyFSA) recently announced a pilot

program that offers a CAT levelRainfall Index-Annual Forage In-urance Plan to producers in

Texas, Kansas, Nebraska, NorthDakota, Oklahoma and SouthDakota.

Because there is limited time

for producers in these states totransition from NAP to the newRMA pilot program, an exceptionwas made that will allow thestates to continue offering NAPcoverage for 2014. However, NAPcoverage will not be available for2015 annual forage crops.

Eligible producers can applyfor 2014 NAP coverage at theirCounty FSA Office using formCCC-471, Application for Cover-age. Producers must file the ap-plication and service fee by theSeptember 30, 2013 deadline forfall seeded rye for forage and

March 15, 2014 deadline forspring seeded crops and grass forhay and graze. The service fee isthe lesser of $250 per crop or $750per producer per administrativecounty, not to exceed a total of$1,875 for a producer with farm-ing interests in multiple counties.

Producers who meet the defini-tion of a limited resource farmeror rancher can request a waiver ofthe service fee.

NAP provides financial assis-tance to producers of noninsur-able crops when low yields, loss ofinventory or prevented planting

occur due to normal disasters."The easiest way for producers

to protect their investment is topurchase an insurance policy,""The past few years have provedthat natural disasters are un-avoidable, and producers can re-cover if they take the necessaryprecautions to mitigate risks."
