his was a cold wet spring forost South Dakotan's said Den-is Todey, South Dakota Stateniversity Extension climatolo-st.Everyone perceived this

pring as being cold and wet,hich was true. But the realityaried a little depending on your

cation in the state, Todey said.Temperatures for May, while

ooler than average, were not his-rically cool. Precipitation wasuch of a different story because

f several heavier rainfall eventsver most of the state, Todeyaid.

He indicated that 17 stationsith longer term records had

heir top 10 wettest Mays onecord; topping these were Bisonnd Roscoe recording their fifthettest spring, McIntosh andudlow as fourth wettest, Huronnd Onida, as third wettest, Pol-ck and Canton second wettestnd Lemmon, having the wettestpring on record. In contrast twoations in the southwest had top

0 driest Mays.The cooler and wetter condi-

ons have aided the largehanges in drought level acrosshe state, Todey said. In the lastur to six weeks the monitor was

educed to no drought status overost of the east and less severe

rought in the west.The main issue for spring as a

hole (March through May) wasmperature, mostly for stations

n eastern parts of the state.odey said 35 stations across theate had temperatures in the top

0 coldest for spring. Eight sta-ons were coldest on record.hese were all in the eastern

hird of the state.

The obvious impacts wereowing the beginning of therowing season, delaying of dor-ancy break on trees and peren-ials and even reducing thength of spring sports seasons.And, while the spring was

etter over parts of the state,verall it set few records, Todeyaid. The record setters wereost of the same ones with veryet Mays. Canton and Lemmongain were the wettest spring onecord. Marion and Pollock werefth wettest; and Lead was the

third wettest. A few stations inthe southwest and far northeastwere actually below average forthe spring as a whole.

The delay in planting andcrop development is not a seriousissue at this point pending whathappens with the rest of thegrowing season," he said. "If con-

ditions continue this way for thesummer then delayed crop devel-opment will be a problem.

Looking ahead Todey said theimpact of the wetness was re-duced because of the backgrounddry conditions carrying over fromlast year. Soils were dry andmany ponds, dugouts and wet-lands had less water in them andwere able to absorb some of theexcess rainfall.

Outlooks for June give nostrong indications for tempera-ture and precipitation, saidTodey. The U.S. SeasonalDrought Outlook released thismorning indicates continuedlikely drought improvement.

Looking at the models, chancesfor precipitation look to becomeless. But we do not see a shut offin precipitation like last sum-mer, he said.

Most soils are moist enoughnow to promote plant growth. Thedeeper soils are still a little con-cerning in some places where re-ports still indicate some dryness.If precipitation is reasonably con-sistent we do not expect major is-sues this summer. Some warmerthan average temperatures aremore likely by mid-June in west-ern parts of the state.

For the bulk of the summer,Todey said the outlooks from theClimate Prediction Center havebetter chances for dryness and

warmer conditions in the south-western parts of the state with nospecific outlooks for the remain-der of the state.

The southwest is the area stillmost impacted by drought and isalready at a higher risk for dry-ness issues, he said. For the restof the state conditions do notseem very concerning.

Most producers at this pointwould like to see sunshine andwarmer temperatures now topush along crop development andcontinue rangeland green-up.

U.S. Senator John Thune (R-S.D.), along with U.S. SenatorsJon Tester (D-Mont.), and JerryMoran (R-Kan.) members of theSenate Rural Health Caucus today introduced S. 1143, the Pro-tecting Access to Rural TherapyServices (PARTS) Act, to make

sure that rural and other patientshave access to a full range of out-patient therapeutic services intheir own communities. Outpa-tient therapeutic services in-clude services such as druginfusions, blood transfusions, andcardiac and pulmonary rehabili-tation services.

These health care serviceshave always been administeredby licensed, skilled medical pro-fessionals in hospitals under theoverall direction of a physician.However, in its attempt to clarifyexisting regulations in 2009, theCenters for Medicare & MedicaidServices (CMS) retroactively in-terpreted existing policy in placesince 2001 to require that a su-pervising physician be physicallypresent in the department at alltimes when Medicare beneficiar-ies receive outpatient therapyservices, the majority of whichare low risk.

Requiring supervising physi-cians to be present for some out-patient therapy services places anunnecessary strain on the alreadyoverextended staff of rural healthcare facilities, said Thune. Fur-ther, this CMS requirement canplace extraordinary demands onphysicians, who are already diffi-cult to recruit to rural areas of thecountry. I have brought this issueup repeatedly to CMS in SenateFinance Committee hearings and

in my personal meetings withCMS Director Marilyn Tavennerwithout resolution. I look forwardto working with my colleagues inthe Senate to move our common-sense legislation forward, ensur-ing we provide rural health carefacilities in states like SouthDakota with the flexibility neededto continue to deliver quality out-patient therapy services withoutbeing subjected to budget-bustingworkforce regulations.

When folks in rural areas getill, the last thing they need is theadded burden of having to travellong distances to get the care they

need, Sen. Tester said. This billallows folks in rural communitiesto receive care at local Critical Ac-cess Hospitals and maintains thehigh-quality health care rural

Americans expect and deserve.CMS policy does not take into

account the realities of rural

health care. Many Kansas hospi-tals, and other rural hospitalsacross the country, find these su-pervision requirements impossi-ble to meet jeopardizingcontinued access to these impor-tant health care services, Sen.Moran said. Small and rural hos-pitals, where medical workforceshortages are most severe, needreasonable flexibility to appropri-ately staff their facilities so theycan continue to provide a fullrange of services to their commu-nities. The PARTS Act is a com-monsense solution that wouldpreserve patient safety and easeunreasonable regulations on hos-pitals.

In response to concerns raisedhospitals and lawmakers, includ-ing Senators Thune, Moran, and

State officials are remindingconsumers and gasoline retailersthat the 2013 South Dakota Leg-islature passed a law limitingwhere 85 octane fuel may be soldand requiring cautionary labelson pumps.

The law, which took effect inMarch when signed by GovernorDennis Daugaard, requires thatpumps selling 85 octane fuelcarry a warning label that says:This octane level may not meetminimum manufacturer specifi-cations. Consult your ownersmanual before fueling.

The same law limits the sale of85 octane fuel to nine westernSouth Dakota counties. Gasolinesold in all other parts of the statemust have a minimum octane rat-ing of 87. Many engine manufac-turers recommend a minimum of

87 octane fuel.The Legislat

Washington, D.C. U.S. Sena-or Tim Johnson (D-SD) today an-ounced that the Department of

he Interior has designated over5.6 million in 2013 Payment inieu of Taxes (PILT) programayments to 31 counties in Southakota. The PILT program pro-ides funding to local govern-

ments for public schools, countyoad projects, firefighting and po-ce protections, forest manage-

ment projects and othermportant programs in counties

with large tracts of federal lands."South Dakotas Black Hills

National Forest, national grass-ands and national parks areremendous assets to our state,ut they are not part of the localroperty tax base," Johnson said.The PILT program ensures thathese communities have addi-onal resources to support localchools, county roads and otherervices people rely on. I haveong supported fully funding theILT program to aid counties inouth Dakota in funding essen-al public services, and I will con-nue working with my colleagueso add long-term certainty to thisital program."

Eligibility for the PILT pro-ram is reserved for counties thatontain non-taxable federal lands

within their boundaries. Thisunding is especially important inouth Dakota, which is home to

several national monuments,parks, national forests and na-tional grasslands.

Since 2008, PILT has beenfully-funded, first under theEmergency Economic Stabiliza-tion Act of 2008 and this yearunder the Moving Ahead forProgress in the 21st Century Act.Mandatory funding discontinuesat the end of this fiscal year. Ifmandatory funding is not ex-tended, the program will be sub-

ject to annual appropriations,which could result in a muchlower funding level for these vitalpublic services.

Counties in our area will re-ceive the following funds: Meade$160,528; Pennington $1,356,548;Perkins $263,729; Ziebach $4,217

Senates 2013 Farm Billmoves ag policy in the wrongdirection

Agriculture is a way of life inSouth Dakota. Not only is it thestates largest industry and theeconomic engine of our rural com-munities, but our states rural

areas are where many familiesraise their children and mold thenext generation of farmers andranchersmaking agriculturevery important to our states fu-ture.

Agriculture has changed overthe past two decades with cropproduction becoming more effi-cient and increasing yields. Farm-ers are keeping up with the latesttechnology using satellite steer-ing systems for their machineryand applying seed, fertilizer, andchemicals with pinpoint accuracyand precision.

I believe agriculture policyshould follow this example of effi-ciency. As South Dakotas onlymember of the Senate Agriculture

Committee, I take very seriouslythe responsibility of ensuring thatthe farm policy coming out ofWashington is defensible to tax-payers and responsive to the mod-ern day needs of farmers andranchers. Over the past year anda half, I have introduced FarmBill legislation that collectivelywould save more than $50 billionover 10 years and eliminate un-needed and costly programs.

As I talked to farmers andranchers across the state inpreparation for this Farm Bill,they were very clear about the im-portance of a strong crop insur-ance program, and they were justas clear that they were willing togive up the current Commodity

Title programs such as direct andcounter-cyclical payments,

ACRE, and SURE programs. As Iworked with the Senate Ag Com-mittee on drafting the 2012 legis-lation, these requests remainedamong my top priorities. My pro-posals to provide market-basedpayments for revenue losses dueto substantial crop losses or steepprice declines, in exchange for theelimination of the direct, counter-cyclical, ACRE, and SURE pro-grams were included in the 2012Senate-passed Farm Bill. Forthese reasons, I supported the2012 Farm Bill, as I did with theprevious two Farm Bills, becauseit included the reforms necessary

to move agriculture into the fu-ture.

Unfortunately, this years Sen-ate Farm Bill reauthorizes a 20thcentury Commodity Title pro-gram for 21st century productionagriculture and offers only mini-mal reforms amounting to about$4 billion in savings to the $800billion food stamp program. TheCommodity Title of this yearsSenate bill included a new pro-gram called Adverse Market Pay-ments which uses outdatedcounter-cyclical payments calcu-lated using high fixed targetprices that overwhelmingly bene-fit rice and peanuts. The additionof this new program, at a cost ofmore than $3 billion to taxpayers,was completely against thewishes of South Dakota farmers,and a huge step backward fromthe reforms we passed lastyear. The inclusion of this pro-gram and the minimal reforms inthe Nutrition Title are major fac-

tors contributing tthis bill.

The mission of the Southakota Department of Veteransffairs is to serve the over 75,000eterans residing in Southakota in all matters pertaining

o veterans benefits. This respon-

ibility falls into two basic tasks:nforming veterans and their fam-ies about their benefits and di-ectly assisting and advisingeterans and their families in se-uring the benefits to which theyre entitled.Advocating with purpose and

assion for South Dakota veter-ns, our team is at the forefrontf the most demanding challengesonfronting our states veterans,

whether they are veterans fromhe World War II generation, the

Korean War, Vietnam, the ColdWar, or veterans who most re-ently served in support of Oper-tion Enduring Freedom,peration Iraqi Freedom, or Op-

ration New Dawn.

According to the VAs FY 2012ummary of Expenditures, Southakota veterans receive more

han $489.2 million annually inmedical, compensation, educa-

on, and pension benefits. Al-hough this number is impress-ve, there are many eligible veter-ns in South Dakota who are notaking advantage of the many

benefits available to them.This month we are encourag-

ing all veterans to verify that theyhave utilized all the educationalopportunities afforded to them.

As the State Approving

Agency, the South Dakota De-partment of Veterans Affairs isresponsible for approving and su-pervising programs in SouthDakotas universities and techni-cal schools as well as the on-the

job training and apprenticeshipprograms.

Currently South Dakota has140 veterans participating in theOJT/Apprenticeship programsand over 2,500 veterans using GIBill benefits for college and tech-nical schools. But that numbercan and should grow. OJT pro-grams include such positions asappraisers, funeral directors, po-lice officers, correctional officers,electricians, plumbers, parts tech-nicians, mechanics, IT specialists,

radio technicians, fire fighters,welders, chefs, and many more.

We encourage all veterans tomake sure that they have utilizedtheir education benefits.

For more information regard-ing your educational benefits andthe programs available to you, weencourage you to contact our edu-cation team at (605.773.3269).

Ive been thinking and I amonsidering having the paper reame my column to Marcus news,pinions, history, weather androp reports, and announcements.oo long probably but it about fits

what I rattle on about.Sunday, we attended the 4-H

odeo in Faith. I dressed for coolweather because we had a severehunderstorm warning in Meade

County and dark clouds above us.We got rained on going to Faith

ut found Faith hot and dry. Theust cloud that entered therandstand every time they drughe small arena made a lot of usandowners with the stuff settledn our ears and noses. It was aood rodeo and well run. Laneoster was the announcer and Iredict this young man can go farn the announcing business if heares to. (Lane, a good sideline tohat is auctioneering.) Themount of contestants hashrunk over the last few years. I

would imagine the cost of travel,ehicles and horses is a big con-ributing factor to that! It is al-

ways a pleasure to see the localids and their parents doing theirarts to make it all happen. A bighank you also needs to go out tohe folks who step up and reacheep in their pockets to providehe prizes these kids win. Evenho they dont have any childrenompeting at this time the

Hlavka family at Howes lookedke they did more than their fairhare, working and sponsoring.

DAnne Thompson and her troupef 4-H kids and parents, Grop-ers, and Varlands did their

sual good job with the lunchtand. The lunch stand is a lot ofwork that no one wants to do butt sure is a necessary part of the

whole day! You can bet everyonewould whine and complain ifhere wasnt a lunch stand!hanks guys. These people arentaid with anything but gratitudeo next time you see one of themhat worked all day tell em how

much they are appreciated. Com-munities like this grow good kids

nd responsible adults.Wednesday, Jim and Vonnie

O'Dea took their sick wash ma-hine to Sturgis to see if it coulde fixed. The repair man wasn'there so they came home withoutt

Jim and Vonnie O'Dea were inhilip on Friday for Memorialervices for classmate Linda

Kramer. Many classmates werehere to say "Good bye." O'Deasater went to the Bronc Matchnd spent the night in Philip. Sat-rday, LaVonne Hansen and

Vonnie helped decorate a float forhe parade. They were celebrat-ng their 50th Class Reunion.ater they helped decorate theolf clubhouse where the supper

was held. There were 39 in theraduation class, 8 have passedn, with 21 making all or some of

the activities over the weekend.Sunday after mass in Philip,

Jim and Vonnie O'Dea stopped atBetty and Jim Smith's house andvisited with Vonnies nieces,Heidi and Nick Drury and family

from Florida and Ashley andBrock Heid and Jaisa from RapidCity. They later enjoyed themovie "Buffalo King" at the the-ater and then came home.

Friday, Penny Herman of Mon-roe, Washington, Quirt and RioWondercheck and I were in Faithto pick up my prescription. Laceyand Robert Wondercheck were inthe Black Hills on business.Penny came to visit Tuesday andwill be with us for another week.

Saturday, I rode with DAnneThompson to White Owl for theinternment of Chris Howie at theWhite Owl Cemetery. Chris wasthe son of Roland and Ethel(Pittman) Howie and a nephew ofRaymond Howie. He passed awaylast week after a lengthy battlewith cancer.

And now for the crop reporthay looks like it will be a goodcrop this year despite a late,droughty start. Wheat, corn andmilo are all progressing as Imsure are all the crops people haveplanted right now. Of course, thefinal outcome depends on morerain at the right time, no hail, nograsshoppers, lack of diseases inthe crop and ten thousand otherthings that can and do happen. Iapologize to all you preachers butthese people you deal with inagriculture are the worldsbiggest gamblers. We all hope tohit the jackpot or at least break

even.Many of the area people at-tended the wedding of EmilyWicks and Thane Escott on Sat-urday evening. Congratulationsto the new couple!

Congratulations to Winstonand Wacey Brown for winning All

The comfortable weather pat-terns are still holding for mid-June in Central Meade County.Enough moisture is being re-tained to keep that beautifulgreen color on the rolling hills of

the prairie.It was a nice afternoon for a

parade in Sturgis on Friday tocelebrate Sturgis's 125th birth-day. Maggie Nickish, Patty Gatto,Monae Johnson, Charlene Heil-man and Sandy Rhoden entered afloat representing the MeadeCounty Republican Women. Mostof the children watching who at-tend Bear Butte Elementarylikely thought that it was 'Mrs.Schnell' handing out candy tothem, however it was her twinsister, Sandy Rhoden.

The community is saddened bythe loss of Karen Delbridge, wifeof Pastor Harold Delbridge. Shefought a hard battle with herknee and then with cancer. Karenwas a very creative and talentedlady when it came to crafts and

The seventh annual Philip In-vitational Matched Bronc Ride,Friday, June 14, was again a suc-cess by almost everyones stan-dards.

The Philip roping arena wasthe site of 25 top ProfessionalRodeo Cowboys Association cow-boys trying to survive three pro-gressive rounds of bronc riding totake top winnings.

With 50 of the best, or up-and-coming, broncs available, the ac-tion was hot, unpredictable andunforgettable. Livestock compa-nies supplying the broncs wereThree Hills Rodeo of Bernard,Iowa , Korkow Rodeo of Pierre,S.D., and Burns Rodeo ofLaramie, Wyo.

The first round of the broncride was full of crowd-pleasinghigh scores. Cole Elshere, Faith,topped the pack with 81 on Ban-dito Gold. Jesse Bail, CampCrook, earned 79 points on top ofSatin Sheets. Ryan Elshere, Elm

Springs, spirited 78 points withGrey Ghost. Ty Thompson, Wan-blee, rode Diamond Trail and J.J.Elshere, Hereford, rode StormWarning, both for 77. JeremyMeeks, Alzada, played Jukeboxand Louie Brunson, Interior, rodea reride option horse, both for 76points. Troy Crowser, Whitewood,stayed on Sweetheart and DelbertShorty Garrett, Dupree, stayedon Kosheese to both earn 74points. Getting 73 points each,Jade Blackwell, Rapid City, stuckto Boogers Pet and Kaden Deal,Red Scaffold, held on to ChromePlated. Dawson Jandreau, Ken-nebec, made the cut in order to gointo the second round by ridingHarry Mary for 71 points.

The progressive round pittedthe 12 remaining cowboys againstup-and-coming livestock that maybe somewhat green, but have en-ergy and possibilities to go far inthe bucking bronc arena. J.Elshere stayed on top and rode awild-bucking Blind Date for 79points. Bail went Haywire for 77.

Cole Elshere hung all over Screw-driver and Ryan Elshere survivedMorning After, both for 76 points.Garrett put his score of 75 inDixie Cup. Making the cut to

move on to the short go was Jan-dreau, earning 74 points on areride option.

In the final round of only sixcowboys, J. Elshere could not stayon, but went out with a Blaze ofGlory. Garrett rode Paint Chip for75 points, but found that eventhis respectfully high score could

We saw the movie last summeron the threat of raising federalstudent loan interest rates, and ithad a happy ending when Con-gress acted to prevent it. Thissummer, the interest rate sequelis showing, and the ending is un-

certain. On July 1st, interestrates on new federal studentloans are once again set to double.

This would hit South Dakotastudents and families hard.Without congressional action,nearly 35,000 students in SouthDakota will rack up an extra$1,000 in student loan debt nextyear from increased interestcosts. At a time when too manystudents are already graduatingwith enormous debt loads, itmakes no sense to make it harderfor students to finance their edu-cation and manage their debt.

Increasing numbers of stu-dents are finishing their educa-tion with crushing student loandebt loads. Others are reluctant

to pursue college and careertraining due to a lack of financialresources. Incredibly, studentloan debt now exceeds $1 trillion.

Americans now owe more in stu-dent loans than credit card debt.This creates financial hardshipfor young people just as they arebeginning their careers. It canalso create a barrier for youngpeople who want to start a family,buy their first car or become ahomeowner, which could hinderour economic recovery.

Last spring, I sat down withstudents from Southeast Techni-cal Institute in Sioux Falls to talkabout what a doubling interestrate would mean for them. Theytold me a rate hike would make it

harder for them to complete theirschooling and would likely deterstudents from pursuing their ed-ucation goals. In recent months, Ihave received an outpouring of

letters, emails, afrom young peopacross South Daneed to preventfrom doubling on

outh Dakotas State FlagBlue skies and sunshine trans-

ate to a perfect summer day.

Those elements are reflected inouth Dakotas flag.The story of the states banner

egan in 1909, when State Sen.Ernest May of Deadwood walkednto the office of the State Depart-

ment of History in Pierre. He dis-ussed the need for a state flag

with state historian Doane Robin-on.

Turning to me, Robinson said,Miss Anding will make you aag, Ida (Anding) McNeil said inn article in the Jan. 20, 1963,

Rapid City Daily Journal.McNeil, a legislative reference

brarian at the time, designednd made a flag that featured alazing sun in the center of a fieldf blue, with the words South

Dakota above the sun in the arcf the circle and The Sunshinetate below the sun in the arc ofhe circle. McNeil said in theewspaper article that Robinsonuggested a blazing sun emblemecause of South Dakotas manyays of sunshine. McNeil showedhe sample flag to Robinson, whoemarked that the Great Seal ofhe State of South Dakota wouldook nice on the other side. Mc-

Neil agreed, and the state seal setgainst a field of dark blue waslaced on the reverse side.A bill adopting the state flag

was passed by the Legislature in909.

If I had known as much aboutlags as I do now, I certainly

would have left the reverse sideplain, McNeil said in the RapidCity Daily Journal article. A two-

sided flag is very difficult tomake. In addition to the addedwork, it is difficult to prevent oneside from showing through ontothe other.

McNeil explained in the news-paper article that to make thestate flag, she appliqued thegolden sun and embroidered thesuns rays. She then took anotherpiece of silk, painted details of thestate seal on it and appliqued thisto the reverse side of the flag. Inaddition to being difficult tomake, a two-sided flag was expen-sive to produce. The silk materialfrom which McNeil made the flagcost $12.50 per yard and the ma-terials for one flag cost about $75in 1963.

McNeil left her state job whenshe married in 1921. Althoughshe made the first state flag, sheis better remembered for being apioneer in radio broadcasting.She became known as Mrs.Pierre while owner and operatorof KGFX radio in Pierre.

Another version of how SouthDakotas flag came into beingstates that May told Robinsonthat Deadwood pioneer Seth Bul-lock wanted a state flag. Robinsonmakes no mention of Bullocks in-volvement in the state flag inDoane Robinsons Encyclopedia ofSouth Dakota. David A. Wolff ofSpearfish, author of Seth Bullock:Black Hills Lawman, said that hecould find no evidence in his re-

search on Bullock to support theidea of Bullock being involved inthe first state flag.

During the 1963 legislativesession, Rep. William Sahr ofPierre introduced a bill to modifythe state flag. The new one-sidedflag kept a sun with a serratededge on a field of sky blue butplaced the state seal inside thesun. Around the sun were thewords South Dakota and TheSunshine State.

The states banner was againrevised in 1992, when the Legis-lature approved changing thewording on the flag to read TheMount Rushmore State insteadof The Sunshine State. This re-flected a change in the state nick-name.

The legislation for both the1963 and 1992 changes containeda provision that any previousflags made in conformance withstate law were to remain officialstate flags. That means that it islegal to use any of the three offi-cial state flags.

Not everyone likes our stateflag. The North American Vexillo-logical Association, an associationof flag experts, ranked SouthDakotas flag as one of the fiveworst in North America in 2001.

During the 2012 legislativesession, a bill to adopt a flag de-signed by Spearfish artist DickTermes was introduced. This de-sign featured a sunburst, an

American Indian medicine wheeland concentric blue circles. AHouse committee rejected the callto look at revising the flag.

Ag Secretary Vilsacks ColumnA Food, Farm and Jobs Bill to grow

local and regional markets

email us at [email protected]

This week, the U.S. Senatected in bipartisan spirit to ap-rove the Agriculture Reform,ood and Jobs Act a balanced,omprehensive bill that will drive

ontinued growth in rural Amer-a. The House of Representativesow has another important op-ortunity to stand with ruralmerica and pass their version ofbill.People often call this the Farm

ill but its much more thanhat. This is a conservation bill.s a trade promotion bill. Its an

nnovation bill. Its a jobs bill.And its a bill that will help

ontinue a tremendous increasen markets for locally-grownods. This includes creating more

armers markets, building addi-onal regional food hubs andrengthening farm-to-institutionrograms.

In recent years, USDA has car-ed out a very successful Farm-rs Market Promotion Programhat has increased the number ofarmers markets by 67% since008. The Senate bill expandshese efforts through its Farmers

Market and Local Food Promo-on Program.This would continue to help

roducers sell their product di-ectly to consumers througharmers markets, but it wouldlso help farmers who are ready

to scale up and sell to local gro-cery stores or other institutions.Regional food hubs, which con-nect farmers to these larger-vol-ume markets, would have a new

tool to expand and grow.Passage of a Food, Farm and

Jobs Bill would help farmers de-velop new value-added productsfor local or regional sale, creatingnew income opportunities in rural

America. In recent years, theValue-Added Producer Grant Pro-gram has already helped morethan 285 projects directly relatedto local markets for agriculture.

It would continue efforts toprovide healthy, locally-grownfood in schools building on ourwork to serve 3,200 schools and 2million students through USDAFarm-to-School projects acrossthe country.

And it would provide invest-ments in the infrastructure thatlocally-oriented producers can useto grow a better crop. This in-cludes support for new cold stor-age facilities, hoop houses toextend the growing season, andaccess to credit to start or expandan operation.

The Food, Farm and Jobs Billisnt just needed by Americasfarmers and ranchers its impor-tant for all of us who enjoy fresh,local foods at a farmers market.Its important to ensure our na-tions youngsters have access tohealthy, fresh foods. Its impor-tant to help create new economicopportunity in rural America.These are all good reasons whyCongress must get a Food, Farm

and Jobs Bill passed as swiftly aspossible.

Tree FactsBob Drown, Extension Specialist

Winter BurnMany evergreens throughout

northwestern South Dakota havewinter burn injury this spring. It isshowing up as reddish-brown deadfoliage and was caused by coldwinds which dried out the needlesof evergreens last winter. Desicca-tion occurs when the ground con-tains inadequate moisture due todrought, frozen ground or wheneverelse a plant is unable to access mois-ture in the soil. Windy sites are ob-viously more prone to this type ofdamage than protected locations.Plant roots cannot uptake waterfrom frozen soil to replace the lossesexperienced in the leaves. Thelonger these conditions exist, themore moisture is lost and death ofleaf tissue results. Early fall or latespring freezes can kill evergreen fo-liage when it is not adequatelyhardened off. If the damage is se-vere, some or all of the buds alsomay die.

Usually the north and west sides

of trees experience the worst dam-age from the prevailing winds.Other conditions that can con-

tribute to a trees susceptibility towinter burn are if it has beenplanted improperly, stressed byinsects, diseases, other environ-mental factors, fertilized at animproper time or have poor win-ter hardiness. Normally only fo-liage is killed and buds and

branches usually are unaffected.Foliage that both early fallfreezes and winter desiccationkilled often remains green as longas temperatures are cold. Dam-aged needles then turn brownwhen temperatures rise. If thebuds were not killed, new foliageemerges the spring or early sum-mer. Assessment of total injuryshould be made only after newgrowth has occurred. Winter in-

jury often is an aesthetic problemin evergreens but does kill treesoccasionally.

There some actions that can betaken to reduce the incidence andseverity of winter burn in the fu-ture. Plant only drought toleranttrees and shrubs. Some examplesof drought tolerant evergreenspecies that are less prone get

mployment is vital, especiallyor farm people

Employment and economic suc-ess are vital to our well-being.ersons engaged in agriculture,ke everybody else, are pleased

when success occurs in their cho-

en vocation but particularly sen-itive to feelings of failure thatccompany loss of the farm or lay-ffs from agricultural occupations.

Agriculture is a vocational pathhat entails production of items

we need to survive: food and ma-erial for clothing, shelter anduel. That others depend on agri-ulture contributes to the agrar-an population feeling vulnerable

when problems occur that stoparmers from working.

Unemployment is a threat tour well-being. Few circum-tances in life can erode our sensef self-worth more than becomingnemployed. Remaining unem-loyed when others are gainfully

working heightens our despair.

The urge to produce food, cloth-ng, shelter and fuel, along withhe urge to acquire the resourceshat enable us to produce theseecessities, is a basic humanrive. The drive is somewhat akino territoriality in animals, but

more complicated. Survival of theuman species is dependent onhis drive, called the agrarian im-erative.

Even if we are not engaged ingriculture as our lifes work, weeel the need to take care of ouramilies and to contribute to theverall welfare of the human pop-lation. We cant all be farmers oranchers; the vast majority of peo-le in the industrialized worldave other occupations that earn

ncome for the care of their fami-es and communities.

Indeed, some nonfarm familyusinesses (e.g., a family-ownedestaurant or dealership) areassed from one generation to theext and their attachments to theusiness are much like those ofgricultural producers to theirand. When business closure oc-urs or when employees are laidff, the unemployed people be-ome scared they wont be able toake care of their families, andometimes even themselves.

Unemployed people feel shame,ear that they wont obtain a newob, and uncertainty about beingble to fulfill obligations such as

o pay for their childrens health-are and educations. Most unem-loyed people feel they are a drainn society during this time, when

what they want most is to be con-ributors.

Initially, when the bad newsecomes a reality, we gear up toeal with assumed and realhreats by invoking theght/flight/freeze response, whichwrote about in June 2012. In

ther words, we try to cope withnemployment, but when unem-loyment becomes chronic, we

wear out from the stress.Over time, anxiety and appre-

hension give way to depressionand sometimes suicidal thoughts.Then, hopelessness, helplessness,frustration, and anger become theprimary feelings associated withunemployment.

Long-term stress takes a toll

on our immune system. I drew ona meta-analysis of 30 years of in-quiry by Drs. Suzanne C.Segerstrom and Gregory E. Millerthat was published in July 2004in the Psychological Bulletin foran explanation.

Acute stressors lasting min-utes to several hours actually for-tify our immune system, for ourbodies temporarily produce moreneutrophil and macrophage cellsthat congregate and produce toxicsubstances that fight invadingpathogens. Antibodies can accu-mulate, natural killer cells are re-leased and proteins are releasedthat produce inflammation--thebodys signal that it is fighting in-vading pathogens.

Segerstrom and Miller indicatewhen stress becomes chronic,such as unemployment, almost allfunctions of the immune systembecome negatively affected. Theimmune system can become over-whelmed by bacterial or viralpathogen invasions because of itsweakened defenses.

The bodys defense system canalso undergo mutations thatallow already existing predisposi-tions to diseases, such as manycancers, to emerge.

Behavioral health difficultiesalso increase during unemploy-ment, as illustrated by a smallrise in the U.S. suicide rate dur-ing the current recession. Some-times the effects are felt by theunemployed after a recession aswell.

A longitudinal study authoredby Drs. Anthony Garcy andDenny Vagero in the June 2013issue of the American Journal ofPublic Health, reports that thesuicide rate of 3.4 millionSwedish men and women did notchange during their deep eco-nomic recession from 1993-1996,but the suicide rate of men whoremained unemployed over thenext five years increased signifi-cantly in comparison to employedmen, while the suicide rate forSwedish women did not changesignificantly, whether employedor not employed.

The effects of unemploymentare more pronounced for farmmen than for those not engaged infarming. The suicide rate of dis-placed farm men quadrupled therate of suicide of nonfarm menduring the U.S. recession in the1980s.

The suicide rate of women in-dicates they were less affected byunemployment than men.Women shared the economic up-heaval, stress and emotional inse-curity of unemployment, but theyhad better coping strategies thanmen.

Women tended to seek emo-

tional support more readily thanmen and they talked more hon-estly than men about their frus-trations and worries. There is alesson in this finding for farmmen: seek helpful supports andtalk candidly about deep con-cerns.
