The issuein Froid is definitely not thelack of volunteers, as theymake up 10% of the commu-nity. As fire department chiefDave Clark stated, “It’s a re-ally good group of guys, theyall respond to most of thecalls.” The real issue for thedepartment is the lack of fund-ing. Fire chief Clark contin-ued, “The money will beused for equipment up-grades and better tools, in-cluding foam (used for spe-cific fires) and thermal imag-ing.”

Energy OutreachWilliston is an organizationof oil companies working to-gether to support the commu-nities. The companies in-volved in this organizationinclude: Baker Hughes,Halliburton, Nabors, Oasis,Schlumberger, and Statoil.

Submitted by Mandi NayDRWA is a rural water

project being created to ser-vice an 11,000+ square mileproject area in Eastern Mon-tana. The project area in-cludes the towns of Circle,Richey, Jordan and Fairview;the unincorporated towns of

Lambert, Savage,Bloomfield, Brockway,Brusett, Cohagen, Lindsay,Sand Springs and Vida; thewater districts of HighlandPark, Forrest Park, SpringGrove and Whispering Trees;and the rural users in the ser-vice area. Where not definedby county boundaries, theservice area is bound on theNorth by the Missouri River,on the West by Fort PeckLake and the MusselshellRiver, on the South by arbi-trary East and West align-ment and on the East by theYellowstone River and theMontana-North Dakota bor-der.

The majority of the us-ers do not have access to aquality of water needed for ahealthy existence. The treat-ment of water is costly andsometimes complicated de-pending on what is in thewater. A regional rural watersystem like Dry-RedwaterRegional Water Authority willallow rural users to have ac-cess to a reliable, safe, highquality water supply.

Dry-Redwater RegionalWater Authority (DRWA) hasbeen working toward FederalAuthorization. Unfortunatelythe process is extremely slowand cumbersome.

DRWA is a part of the firstrural water projects to be in-cluded in the Rural Water Actof 2006 (enacted in 2010).The Bureau of Reclamationrecently informed DRWA oftheir expectation for a finaldesign to be drawn up priorto approving our project forconstruction. As a result, weneed to have our final designcompleted to move forwardwith the process.

If you are interested inbecoming a part of DRWAplease contact us immedi-ately. We need you to com-plete the necessary formsand submit your good-inten-tion fee to be included in ourfinal design. If water lines inour preliminary design donot have enough users thoselines may be omitted from thefinal design.

Any users wishing to bea part of DRWA must havethis completed before Febru-ary 28, 2013. If we do nothave enrollment forms and agood intention fee from youby then you will not be con-sidered a part of the initialproject construction.

Seed Source Impact On Seed Performance Focus Of Brownbagger

MDT Proposes a Resurfacing Project for MTHighway 23 Near Sidney-Richland Co.

Submitted by Beth RedlinDoes where the seeds

you buy are grown affect howwell they will grow for you?That’s a question Sidney Ag-ricultural Research Servicescientist Erin Espeland willanswer during herBrownBagger presentationthis Friday, Mar.1, from noonto 1 pm at the USDA-ARSNorthern Plains AgriculturalResearch Laboratory(NPARL) in Sidney.

“In animals, we knowthat maternal nutrition affectshow their progeny grow: in

other words, the maternalenvironment affects the char-acter istics of offspr ing.”Espeland, a plant ecologistwith NPARL studying recla-mation issues in disturbedlands, said. “This is true inplants as well. In some spe-cies, plants grown underdrought conditions produceseeds that do better indrought compared to seedsfrom plants grown in well-watered conditions.”

Consequently, it maywell matter where the seedsyou bought for planting were

originally grown, she noted.“For example, you can buyseeds of the same Pryor slen-der wheatgrass grown inWashington state, inSaskatchewan, or here inMontana,” Espeland said.“Does the production envi-ronment affect the perfor-mance of your seeds?”

Espeland will discussher findings Friday in a pre-sentation entitled “Produc-tion farm location affects sub-sequent seed performance inSandberg’s bluegrass,” dur-ing which she will compare

results from Montana, Or-egon, and Washington pro-duction gardens on thegrowth and competitive abil-ity of Sandberg’s bluegrass.Her talk is open to the publicand will be held in the lab’sTechnology Transfer Room.We hope you will join us forthis very interesting presen-tation.

Winter Anglers Remindedto Clean Up Ice

The North Dakota Game and Fish Department remindswinter anglers to clean up the ice after fishing. This not onlyapplies to trash, but fish as well.

It is not only unsightly, but it is illegal to leave fish behindon the ice. According to the fishing proclamation, when a fishis caught anglers must either immediately release the fishback into the water unharmed, or reduce them to their dailypossession.

“It is common practice for some anglers to fillet fish onthe ice,” said Robert Timian, law enforcement chief. “Cleanup after yourself. Don’t leave the entrails and sides of filletedfish on the ice. Put the carcass in a trash bag and properlydispose of it when you get home.”

The Northeastern Arts Network Proudly Presents“An Evening of Contemporary Piano With Jason Farnham” on Thursday, March 7th. The finale concert of

the Big Sky Series takes place at 7:00 p.m. at the Sidney Middle School Auditorium.Submitted by Jill Hill

Jason Farnham of Los Angeles, CA is truly the“International Entertainer of Contemporary Piano Music”.Fans have affectionately dubbed him “Schroeder” fromPeanuts because of his toy piano, his witty Victor Borge-style piano comedy antics and the clever way he interactswith the audience. The newest addition to his piano showhas become his staple track: Fur Elise with a techno-rockbeat: “Fur Crying Out Loud Elise, Let’s Dance!” and Wolfgang

A m a d e u sMozart’s RondoAlla Turca hasnow become“Rondo AllaTechno”. Fans ofM a n n h e i mSteamroller andrich pianoinstrumentalswill find much tolove here. JasonFarnham is af i r s t - c l a s sentertainer, andhis show is sureto leave the audience smiling. Kathy Parsons ofMainlyPiano.com says, “Think Schroeder from Peanuts meetsVictor Borge meets a guy who makes techno remixes out ofclassical tunes.”

Tickets for this concert can be purchased at the door. Formore information contact Candy Markwald 406-488-4155 orJill Hill at 406-489-4304.

MDT Searching for WetlandsMDT is Seeking Drained or Partially Drained Wetlands forProposed Wetland Mitigation Transportation Projects in

Several Northeastern Counties in Montana

USDAEncouragesProducers toEnroll inNoninsuredCrop DisasterAssistanceProgram byMarch 15th

Submitted by Dan JanesAaron Krauter, State Ex-

ecutive Director of NorthDakota’s USDA Farm ServiceAgency reminds producers topurchase FSA’s NoninsuredCrop Disaster AssistanceProgram coverage for non-insurable crops. “Crop insur-ance is an important riskmanagement tool for farmers,but it’s not available for allcrops. That’s why NAP is soimportant,” said Krauter.

NAP is a federallyfunded program that pro-vides coverage to producersfor non-insurable cropswhen low yields, loss of in-ventory or prevented plant-ing occurs due to natural di-sasters. Crops eligible forNAP coverage are those forwhich crop insurance is notavailable, including fruits andvegetables, aquaculture, turfgrass and forage crops.

“Producers must applyfor coverage before a disas-ter str ikes,” continuedKrauter. “Like regular cropinsurance, once an applica-tion period closes, the oppor-tunity to obtain coverage ispassed.” The application clos-ing date for spring plantedcrops is March 15, 2013. Inorder to enroll, producersneed to contact the local FSAOffice where they farm.

More information aboutNAP and where to find yourlocal USDA Service Centercan be found atwww.fsa.usda.gov.


ment of Transportation issearching for wetlands thathave been drained and/orpartially drained that couldbe restored as mitigation fortransportation projects.Former wetlands in the Wa-tershed #12 – Lower Mis-souri River basin associatedwith the Big Muddy, LittleMuddy, Redwater and Pop-lar River drainages in North-eastern Montana that couldpotentially be restored towetlands are being soughtby the Montana Departmentof Transportation (MDT). If youown drained or partiallydrained wetlands and wouldbe willing to sell or provide aperpetual conservationeasement, a representativewould like to hear from youby March 8, 2013. The loca-tion of the sought-after drain-age areas are:

Poplar River Drainage –Daniels, Roosevelt and Val-ley counties

Big Muddy River Drain-age – Richland, Rooseveltand Sheridan counties

Little Muddy RiverDrainage – Richland County

Redwater River Drain-age – Dawson and McConecounties

Through theDepartment’s constructionprogram, wetlands are some-times impacted and Federalregulations require that un-avoidable wetland impactsmust be mitigated at a mini-mum ratio of one acre of im-pact to one acre of restoredwetland. Once restored formitigation credit, Federalregulations require that thesewetlands be protected from

further degradation such asdraining, filling and levelingthrough a perpetual AquaticResource Conservationeasement with the Depart-ment.

Wetlands affected by theDepartment’s constructionprogram receive special at-tention under federal law. Ininstances where impacts towetlands are unavoidable,the law allows that the losscan be offset by restoringother wetlands within thesame drainage. It is for thispurpose that potential resto-ration sites are being sought.

Landowners need tomeet the following qualifica-tions in order to participatein this program:

The landowners mustbe willing to either sell the

land at fair market value(based on current land use)or provide MDT with a Per-petual Protective Agreement.

Land Parcels must becapable of generating a mini-mum of ten acres of restoredwetlands.

Land that is or has beena part of a Federal or StateConservation program(EQUIP, WRP, etc.) is not eli-gible for this program.

Owners of potential sitesare encouraged to contactLawrence Urban – WetlandMitigation Specialist, Mon-tana Department of Transpor-tation P.O. Box 201001, Hel-ena, MT 59620-1001,(406)444-6224. (This noticeand request for informationdoes not constitute an offerto purchase property).

A Little Bit Country

ND Corn Acres On Fast TrackBy Warren Froelich, NDSU Extension Agent

A few weeks ago I wrote about corn being one of themost profitable crops for northwest North Dakota accordingto the recently released 2013 crop budget of North DakotaState University. Then Rick Bieber of Trail City, South Dakotaspoke during the Wheat Show explaining how corn and thecrops worked so well in his no-till cropping system. He gavecorn a lot of credit for his farm’s profitability. Also, about thistime, I received research reports of Williston and Minot andfound two-year dryland yields to average 70 and 113 bush-els per acre respectively. Last year, the dryland grain yieldsat Williston ranged from 75 to 100 bushels per acre.

Corn grain production is growing very fast in North Da-kota. Last year the area planted to corn was 3.6 million acres,of which 3.39 million acres were harvested. This is the larg-est area ever planted to corn and up by more than 1.3 millionacres from last year. The average yield for the state in 2012was 120 bushels per acre, up from the yield of 105 bushelsper acre recording in 2011.

The 2012 growing season started out dry, which allowedfor early planting, with more than 50 percent of the averageplanted by May 6. Conditions tended to be dry after planting,so some emergence issues were noted in some regions ofthe state. Growing degree day accumulations were abovenormal so the crop finished early, with nearly all the cornbeing harvested before the end of October. As we know verywell, conditions were very dry during July and August, caus-ing drought stress, which resulted in yields below the trend.However, yields were better than expected because thedrought was not as damaging in North Dakota as in otherregions of the United States. It is likely some of the corn wasplanted on ground too wet for any crop the previous year.

Results of all the 2012 yield trials conducted by NDSUresearch is available in publication A-793-12 “North DakotaCorn Hybrid Trail Results” available as a link on our websitewww.ag.ndsu.edu/williamscountyextension.

The driving force behind the sudden surge of corn acresin North Dakota is profit and the ability to grow corn. Re-

search continues to develop corn varieties which have theability to mature during our short growing season and lowrainfall conditions. The NDSU budget used an 80 bushelyield and $6 per bushel to calculate gross revenue. Bothyield and price can change. For instance, last week cashcorn was trading at 6.50 to 7.00 across North Dakota. Exactlytwo years ago the market was paying North Dakota farmersnear 6.00.

Early projections by people “in-the-know” indicate U.S.farmers will dedicate a record number of acres to corn in2013 – 99.3 million. Although the U.S. drought has eased inmuch of the major U.S. corn producing areas, there still is abit of uneasiness about the success of the 2013 crop.

There are a number of factors which are or can play intothis year’s corn market. The high prices of recent times havedriven farmers of other countries to learn how to grow corn.While they may not have the lowest costs of production, theircrop is the lowest priced in the world market. Thus, U.S. ex-ports of corn have dwindled to the lowest level since the1971-72 crop year. USDA recently lowered its projection forcorn exports by 50 million bushels to 900 million.

USDA has raised 2012-13 world corn productions toapproximately 940 million tons, with increases in Brazil,Mexico, India and Ukraine while it reduced Argentina’s ex-pected production by 1.1 million tons to 29.7 million due topersistent dryness that is threatening yield prospects, par-ticularly for late planted.

Jerry Gulke, President of the Gulke Group, recently sug-gested a 2013 corn market as low as $3.40 per bushel if thenational corn yield average reaches 160 bushels per acreand a high of $7.30 if the national corn yield averages 125bushels per acre. These numbers certainly indicate there isrisk in raising corn. A price drop of $2 from the $6 used byNDSU would wipe out the significant return to labor andmanagement listed in the NDSU budget. However, becausecorn has multiple uses and is used by people around theworld, it seems like the corn market should have more high-side stability than many other crops grown in the area.

BLM Montana/Dakotas Oil & Gas Lease Sale Nets Nearly $11.5 MillionState to share nearly half of sale revenues

As part of PresidentObama’s all-of-the-abovestrategy to continue to ex-pand safe and responsibledomestic energyproduction, a Bureau ofLand Management (BLM) oiland gas lease auction todaynetted $11,433,090 in rev-enues from the sale of 25Federal leases, totaling2,831.38 acres, in North Da-kota. The quarterly sale tookplace at the BLM’s MontanaState Office in Billings.

The highest single-par-cel bid was $1,596,000 sub-mitted by Slawson Explora-tion Company, Inc. of Wichita,Kan., for an 80-acre parcellocated in Mountrail county.This same bid also garneredthe highest per-acre bid at$19,500 per acre.

BLM oil and gas leasesare awarded for a period of10 years and for as longthereafter as there is produc-tion in paying quantities. Therevenue from the sale of Fed-eral leases, as well as the12.5 percent royalties col-lected from the production of

those leases, is shared be-tween the Federal Govern-ment and the states. The stateof North Dakota will receive48 percent of the sales rev-enue resulting from today’sauction and royalties paid onoil and gas production fromthose leases, and fifty-twopercent of the revenue gen-erated goes to the FederalGovernment. North Dakotawill receive nearly $5.5 mil-lion from today’s sale. Totalroyalties collected in NorthDakota in fiscal year 2012 foroil, gas, coal, and natural gasliquids was $138,890,069Federal and $257,400,980Indian minerals.[1] Since theBakken Play began in 2009,the total payout in royaltieson Indian minerals is$801,253,522.[2]

The Mineral Leasing Actof 1920 and the 1987 Fed-eral Onshore Oil and GasLeasing Reform Act autho-rize leasing of Federal oil andgas resources. The 1987 lawrequires each BLM state of-fice to conduct oil and gaslease sales on at least a quar-

terly basis. BLM lease salesare competitive and con-ducted by oral bidding.

Today’s auction was thesecond of 33 oil and gaslease sales the BLM isscheduled to hold in 2013and builds on the 31 onshoreoil and gas lease sales heldlast year, which generated$233 million for Americantaxpayers. The 2012 salesoffered more than 1.4 millionacres of public land in 1,707parcels and reflected a con-tinued increase in the aver-age price paid per acre. Theprice drillers are willing topay for onshore parcels hasmore than tripled in the pastthree years, compared to thelast 25 years. Since 1988, theaverage price paid per acrewas $55, while over the pastthree years, the average was$210.

Under PresidentObama’s leadership, domes-tic oil and gas production hasgrown each year he hasbeen in office, with domesticoil production in 2011 higherthan any time in nearly a de-

cade and natural gas pro-duction at its highest levelever. Foreign oil imports nowaccount for less than 50 per-cent of the oil consumed inAmerica – the lowest levelsince 1995. Revenues fromdomestic oil and gas produc-tion on public lands and fed-eral offshore areas, totalingmore than $15 billion thisyear, are shared among fed-eral, state and tribal govern-ments and represent one ofthe largest nontax sources ofU.S. government funds.

Potential environmentaleffects that could result fromexploration and develop-ment are analyzed before anyleases are offered for sale. All leases come with condi-tions on oil and gas activitiesto protect the environmentthat can include limits onwhen drilling can occur orrestrictions on surface occu-pancy. Once an operatorproposes exploration or de-velopment on a BLM-issuedlease, further environmentalanalysis under the NationalEnvironmental Policy Act isconducted to determine thesite-specific need for various

types of impact-limiting ormitigation measures. In ad-dition, many operators rou-tinely use Best ManagementPractices such as remotemonitoring of producingwells and multiple wells perpad to minimize surface im-pacts.

The next BLM Federaloil and gas lease sale isscheduled for May 7, 2013,at the BLM’s Montana StateOffice, located at 5001Southgate Drive, Billings,Montana. Additional informa-tion regarding competitivesale lists, detailed results ofsales, and the leasing pro-cess is available by writingthe Bureau of Land Manage-ment, 5001 Southgate Dr.,Billings, Mont. 59101, by call-ing (406) 896-5004, or atwww.blm.gov/mt.

The BLM managesmore than 245 million acresof public land – the most ofany Federal agency. This

land, known as the NationalSystem of Public Lands, isprimarily located in 12 West-ern states, including Alaska. The BLM also administers700 million acres of sub-sur-face mineral estate through-out the nation. In Fiscal Year(FY) 2011, recreational andother activities on BLM-man-aged land contributed morethan $130 billion to the U.S.economy and supportedmore than 600,000 Americanjobs. The Bureau is also oneof a handful of agencies thatcollects more revenue thanit spends. In FY 2012, nearly$5.7 billion will be generatedon lands managed by theBLM, which operates on a$1.1 billion budget. TheBLM’s multiple-use missionis to sustain the health andproductivity of the publiclands for the use and enjoy-ment of present and futuregenerations. The Bureau ac-complishes this by managingsuch activities as outdoorrecreation, livestock grazing,mineral development, andenergy production, and byconserving natural, historical,cultural, and other resourceson public lands.
