Kadoka is filled with many hid-
den treasures! If youd like to see
some of this beauty and get some
ideas for your own yard, youll want
to take advantage of the events
coming up this month.
A public viewing of local yards
and gardens is being planned. All
are welcome to come and see the
yards.
The second tour will be held on
Wed., June 27. Meet at the home of
Patty Groven, 709 Main Street,
Kadoka, at 6:00 p.m. and be ready
to enjoy an evening filled with
tours of several yards and gardens.
This has been a great season for
yards and gardens in our area. The
plentiful rainfall and moderate
temperatures have kept the yards
looking spectacular.
If you enjoy flowers, gardens
and pretty yards, you will enjoy
these tours.
The tours are being organized by
Patty Groven and Randi Oyan. If
you have any questions, or would
like open your yard for a tour,
please contact Patty or Randi.

they forced the victim out of a vehi-
cle and assaulted him. They forced
the victim into their car for the pur-
pose of harassing and interrogating
him and started driving back to-
ward Wanblee. Law enforcement
authorities were dispatched to the
area, located the Jakeways,
stopped their vehicle, and freed the
victim. The victim suffered bruises
and abrasions as a result of the
kidnapping.
The investigation was conducted
by Rosebud Sioux Tribe Law En-
forcement Services. The case is
being prosecuted by Assistant
United States Attorney Tim Maher.
A presentence investigation was
ordered, and a sentencing date was
set for September 11, 2012. Jake-
way was remanded to the custody
of the United States Marshal pend-
ing sentencing.
United States Attorney Brendan
V. Johnson announced that Jerett
Jakeway, age 26, of Wanblee, South
Dakota, appeared before United
States District Judge Roberto A.
Lange on June 15, 2012, and pled
guilty to Kidnapping, Aiding and
Abetting. The maximum penalty
upon conviction is life imprison-
ment, a $250,000 fine, or both; 5
years of supervised release, and a
special assessment of $100 to the
Victim Assistance Fund (VAF).
The conviction stems from an in-
cident that took place on November
5, 2011, when Jakeway and his fa-
ther abducted the victim, an adult
male. Jakeway and his father,
William Jakeway, thought the vic-
tim had stolen a piece of property
from a different family member.
They traveled from Wanblee to the
Rosebud Indian Reservation and
located the victim. At gun point,

Read Matthew 6:9-13
Jesus Christ gave His followers a pattern for prayer
that includes seeking forgiveness daily. The invitation
to regular repentance is not a means of renewing our
salvation, but rather a maintenance plan for our fellow-
ship with the Lord. When we trust Jesus as our Savior, our sins are forgiven forever. The stains from our
past, present, and future wrongs are wiped from our record; however, we're a fallen people so we do con-
tinue to commit sin.
With the exception of Jesus Christ, no person is perfect. Sin is simply a fact of human life. The Lord's
payment for our transgressions means that we can look forward to an eternity spent in God's presence
instead of getting the punishment we deserve. On this side of heaven, though, we still have to contend
with our tendency to do wrong--and we must also deal with the consequences. The Lord's admonition to
seek daily forgiveness is a reminder to confess our sins and turn away from them because we are for-
given.
God's grace is not a license to sin; instead, it's a reason to pursue righteousness. Bad attitudes, thought-
less actions, and unkind speech do not fit who we are as children of light. We're new creatures in Christ,
bought for a price and set free to live as partakers of His grace.
Salvation makes a way for us to enter God's presence, while regular confession and repentance keep
the pathway well maintained and free of obstruction (1 John 1:9). The so-called "sinner's prayer" need be
said only once, but a saint will tap into God's forgiveness every day of his or her life.

Dear Editor,
Count your bedrooms: Once we
have turned over the needs of
Kadoka to those nice state employ-
ees from the Central South Dakota
Enhancement District [EPA] who
come down from Pierre to sell
Comprehensive Planning we may
get surprises. I witnessed one such
event in Nebraska while there.
That Comprehensive Plan was on
the county level.
In my opinion, once adopted the
important folks in the area who do
not enjoy any outsider visitor dol-
lars exercised a long standing
grudge - mainly against Colorado
people. Many from the Denver area
like the hundred miles of sandy
beaches and 30 mile long Lake Mc-
Conaughy north of Ogallala, NE.
As some of my relatives and friends
have found you seem to get extra
police protection if your car bears
a Colorado license plate.
Many Colorado folks vacation at
an installation called North Shore
a half mile south of our previous
home. North Shore along Lake Mc-
Conaughy was founded by Sue Jor-
dan, recently of Kadoka, and her
deceased husband. Over the years
it grew to a complex of over 160 va-
cation homes, a restaurant, a ma-
rina, motel and campground. Boat
launching facilities are also avail-
able. Once the Plan was in place,
the locally elected officials decided
that the complex had to have a cen-
tralized sewage disposal system.
The bureaucratic rules that dic-
tate one size fits all had to be fol-
lowed. Big Brothers whim
determined those needs be based
on the number of bedrooms in the
complex - about 400 of them.
Sewage space had to be determined
on the basis of two people in each
bedroom 365 days a year. In real
life those bedrooms for the most
part are in use, if at all, only on
weekends or short vacations of a
week or two in the summer.
The result was still being built
close to our home when we left. It
is a three stage monster sewer la-
goon which had to be plastic lined
due to possible leaching in the
sandy soil. The sewage has to be
pumped. It works on an evapora-
tive basis as it cannot be vented
due possible pollution of springs
above Lake McConaughy on the
hill below North Shore. All three
stages were to have a labor inten-
sive water level maintained in
them year around.
North Shore lost a lot of beauti-
ful old trees to new sewer lines as
well as some tenants. Operational
costs are higher. Along with busi-
ness losses, the taxpayers are the
losers. The environmental engi-
neers of Schumacher, Paul & Nor
and bonded outside certified con-
tractors did OK. The bureaucrats
from EPA are probably pointing to
it as a fine example of protecting
the peoples health and safety.
Kadokas situation is different.
However, how many surprises will
be discovered when the pristine
rock of Comprehensive Planning is
turned over?
How many bedrooms does
Kadoka have?

Ayusa, a non-profit organization
that promotes global learning and
leadership through foreign ex-
change, study abroad and leader-
ship programs for high school
students from around the world, is
looking for American families in
Jackson County areas interested in
sharing their America with inter-
national high school students for
the 2012-2013 school year. Applica-
tions for interested host families
are currently being accepted.
Sharing the American experi-
ence with an international student
is a unique opportunity for the av-
erage American to profoundly im-
pact the life of a teenager, and
provide them with a positive,
transformational experience that
they will remember for the rest of
their lives, said Sherry Carpenter,
executive director of Ayusa. Host
families are in a great position to
show international exchange stu-
dents an especially authentic slice
of American life, which is one rea-
son we are actively looking for Bur-
well area host families.
Ayusa foreign exchange stu-
dents come from more than 60
countries, are fully insured, bring
their own spending money, and are
proficient in English. Whether
from Japan or Brazil, India or Swe-
den, Ukraine or Mexico, France or
Lebanon, foreign exchange stu-
dents are a window into another
culture and a great way to travel
the world without leaving your
home.
There is no typical American
host family and Ayusa welcomes all
interested families, with or without
children, from both urban and
rural communities. Host families
provide three meals a day and a
bedroom (either private or shared).

Were tenting tonight on the
old campground, goes the Civil-
War song. Well, not me personally.
Im not really into tenting all that
much, but I expect many flimsy
temporary structures were erected
in the state last night and many
people slept in them. There are
about four reasons why I am not
eager to join this throng of
campers, namely wind, rain, cold,
and rattlesnakes. I can do without
any of those things when Im try-
ing to sleep.
Not only that, but our ranch
home is at the back of beyond so
were sort of camping out all year
long anyway. When the electricity
goes out, there we are with the
fireplace going, kerosene lamps or
flashlights lighting things up, and
the propane camp stove set up on
the defunct kitchen range for mak-
ing coffee and the occasional
cheeseburger or whatever. Thats
really all the roughing-it that I
require.
This is not to say that I have
never tried the tenting thing. Once
many years ago, two other guys
and I tented one night somewhere
in Wyoming or Montana. Its been
so long ago that I forget the de-
tails. We were headed for a week-
long conference at Colorado
Springs and were trying to save
money. The main thing I recall was
waking up very cold indeed. I
didnt care much for it despite it
being a cheap way to spend the
night.
As a kid, though, I did enjoy a
tent my folks bought for my sister
and me. It didnt have a floor and I
didnt ever stay in it overnight. It
was quite a grand place to play
during the day, however. I still re-
member the smell of the green can-
vas and how the sun lit it in a neat
way during the day. It did blow
down several times but not while I
was in it. We just put it back up
again or else folded it away if we
were done with it for the time.
What really amazes me is a
bunch of coyote hunters from Min-
nesota who often camp down by
our creek each January. Some-
times they dont even pitch a tent
but just throw up a sheet of plastic
to kind of block the wind and then
sleep in polar sleeping bags. So far
I havent noticed any bits of them
missing from frost, and they seem
perfectly content with this extreme
form of roughing it. I, however,
have no plans to join them any-
time soon. Theyre nuts.
One other camping experience I
had was similar to what the Min-
nesota guys do in that we didnt
use tents. At the time, I was a
counselor at a summer camp along
the Missouri River in the southern
part of the state. One night, we
just slept in sleeping bags on the
sand of the Missouri shoreline. It
was a warm enough night to not be
a problem temperature-wise, and
it was kind of neat to look up and
see the stars while you were going
to sleep. Still, I later killed a rat-
tlesnake at that campground and
was glad I hadnt had any come
cozy up to me during our night on
the sand. What a nasty thought.
Having a tent with a decent floor
would lessen the worry about
snakes, for sure, but sleeping bags
alone dont provide much protec-
tion.
On the other hand, I greatly en-
joyed a little camping trailer I had
for a while. I bought it in New Or-
leans for temporary cheap housing
while we were building the last
Navy ship I was on. I thought I
was going to lose it right away as,
a few days after I got it, a major
hurricane, Camille, destroyed half
the gulf coast just east of New Or-
leans. Luckily we were spared, and
the trailer lived to follow me to
Florida, South Carolina and back
home to the ranch. It was basically
just a miniature house with a
sturdy air conditioner on the roof,
plus a tiny stove and refrigerator
and even a bathroom where you
could take a shower while sitting
on the toilet. It was a great escape
from the ship from time to time
since, if youre on the ship and not
even technically on duty, youre
still on duty. My most memorable
camping experience with it was on
the way home when I stopped at a
campground in Kentucky over Me-
morial-Day weekend. I had my lit-
tle motorcycle along with which I
zoomed around over the winding
narrow paved roads of that area
and felt the complete adventurer
and camper.
At the moment, though, I have
no plans to run out and buy a tent,
a sleeping bag, or even a camper of
any sort. Im content to simply re-
live my experiences of those things
in my mind. Others may be tenting
tonight on the old campground,
but Im not one of them. I have a
nice sturdy building in which to
spend the night with all the com-
forts of home. Thats the way I like
it.
Were Tenting Tonight
Lookin Around
by Syd Iwan
The Eddie and Marjorie Kodet
estate sale was held on Saturday at
the place just north and east of
town. According to daughter, Janet
Leitheiser, they had a good day for
the sale and a lot of people at-
tended. They didnt sell the land or
the house, but did get rid of equip-
ment and household goods they no
longer needed. Janet said they
couldnt sell the house as it is her
cabin on the prairie as compared
to many of her Minnesota neigh-
bors who have cabins on the lake.
Janet is more drawn to the prairie
than to lakes. Janets husband,
Mel, and two of their three kids,
Mark and Lori, were here to help
during the ten days or so prior to
the sale. Son Chris was in Boston
and couldnt come. Janets brother,
Edward, also helped with sale
preparations as did his son, Daniel.
His wife, however, had recently
broken her hip and was dealing
with pins, plates and rehab. Vari-
ous neighbors and friends helped
out as well. The Catholic church in
Kadoka provided the lunch. Janet
said it was kind of hard to part
with some things as they brought
back memories of her folks using
them. Janet will have to return to
the Twin-Cities area in Minnesota
later this week to help baby-sit a
granddaughter, but she hopes to re-
turn next weekend for the
Belvidere alumni gathering on
Sunday. It is a special reunion for
her brother, Edward, since this is
the fiftieth anniversary of his grad-
uation. He, too, hopes to attend.
Eddie Kodet died in August of 2010
at age 95 and Marjorie in March of
2009 at 92.
Mike Livermont and Amelia at-
tended the funeral for Mikes
brother, Alex, in Kadoka on Satur-
day. Mikes daughter, Emmy Lu
Hill, also came from White River
with her husband, Rozen, and fam-
ily. Mikes remaining brother,
Leroy, was there as were his five
sisters. Alex was 66.
Jim DeVries and his son, Tim, of
Kansas arrived this week to spend
some time at the ranch with son,
Mark, and family. They expect to
stay through the alumni reunion
next weekend. Jims wife, Lynn,
didnt come this time since she is
taking some college classes and
tending the yard and such back
home, but she hopes to come along
later in the summer. Jim, inciden-
tally, was a member of the last
class to graduate from Belvidere
High School.
Kate DeVries is back in the area
with her daughter, Ruth Ann
Niehoff. Kate wintered with Ruth
Ann in Nevada. Kate is residing at
the nursing home in Kadoka. She,
naturally, would hate to miss the
Belvidere school reunion which will
be held next weekend. She has
kept the school memorabilia for
years and written up yearly news
of graduates.
Joy Dolezal was amused to learn
that her grandson, Jacob Nemec, fi-
nally got to port on his nuclear
Navy submarine and promptly got
a sunburn. Family members teased
him about this. Apparently there is
not much danger of a sunburn on a
sub that rarely sees the light of day
for months at a time. Only when
you get to port.
Jamie Dolezals sister, Amanda,
arrived from Sioux Falls on Sunday
evening with her new baby, Austin.
She just came to visit for a few
days. Jamie has one other sister,
Jackie, plus a brother, Lance. On
Saturday, Jamie and son Travis
went to the festival days in Philip.
Travis took part in some of the
games on Main Street such as the
money scramble. They also
watched the horse racing. Travis
was really into the racing, and,
when one of the cowboys hats flew
off, he said, Oh, no!
Bunny Greens daughter, Dar-
lene Wiedemer, came from Murdo
on Saturday and brought along
some things shed picked up for
Bunny in Pierre. She also had an
eleven-year-old boy with her that
she sometimes takes care of while
his mom works. He enjoyed playing
with Bunnys dog. On Thursday,
Eve and Abby Fortune stopped by
for an hour or so and enjoyed some
coffee and cookies.
Eric Osborns dad, Wib, came
down on Sunday and did a little
mowing around the place. Eric
served him spare ribs for dinner,
and the two got the van running.
Pam, meanwhile, has been working
at 1880 Town. Eric and Pams gar-
den is coming along with the beans
doing well at present. They have
also planted a Charlie Brown
pumpkin patch and think it might
be a hoot this fall to see if they have
a great pumpkin. They also re-
cently got 54 baby chicks which
they arent quite sure what to do
with, especially since there were
only supposed to be 25. These are
eating chickens instead of layers,
however, and should provide some
tasty meals later on.
Bill and Norma Headlee had
their daughter, Monica Dorn, home
this weekend from Hendricks, MN.
Monica came in part to help her
dad celebrate Fathers Day. She
will also be attending a teachers
seminar in Chamberlain this week.
Monica actually teaches at Brook-
ings, SD, although she lives just
across the Minnesota border.
Brett and Nikki Bonenberger
and kids took in parts of the Philip
festival days this weekend such as
a school reunion (Nikkis tenth)
and the Matched Bronc Ride. They
attended some things in company
with Brandon and Belinda
Mitchell. Daughter MaKaylan is
looking forward to her first T-ball
game this coming week which is
similar to baseball except the ball
isnt pitched. Its just placed on a
flexible post. Nikki also mentioned
that Delores Bonenbergers sister,
Gladys Hix, recently arrived from
her home in Colorado Springs and
hopes to spend a few days here.
Les Huber is currently splitting
his time between Rapid City and
Belvidere. He was home in
Belvidere this weekend but went
back to Rapid City on Sunday to
prepare for some painting jobs at
the public school on Monday. More
jobs are lined up in Deadwood for
later this summer. Les friend,
Diane, recently moved back to
Yankton as her daughter is there
and hopes to finish her last two
years of high school there. Diane
expects to come back here some
and Les plans some trips there.
Dianes daughter, Megan, is quite
an artist and is handy at drawing
and painting. Les has some acreage
on Jolly Lane in Rapid Valley and
presently has his trailer parked
there for living quarters.
Love will find a way; indifference
will find an excuse.
Capsule Sermons
Brandon and Kaylo Huber spent
several days last week with his
grandpa and grandma, Bill and

Blake, Amy, Jason and Patrick

urday at 1:00 at the Rasmussen

Kadoka Press -- Ronda & Robyn
Water temperatures are warm-
ing in South Dakota, and boaters
typically begin to take to the water
in greater numbers as the July
Fourth holiday approaches.
In an effort to help keep those
boaters safe on South Dakotas
public waters, the Department of
Game, Fish and Parks (GFP) will
step up its efforts over the next few
weekends to conduct boating safety
checks across the state.
While GFP conservation offi-
cers routinely conduct boating
safety checks during much of the
year, these stepped up efforts are
being made as part of a nationwide
boating safety campaign in con-
junction with the National Associ-
ation of Boating Law
Adminstrators (NASBLA), said
Brandon Gust, GFP boating safety
coordinator.
Before heading onto the water
this summer, Gust encourages
boaters to take a close look at their
fire extinguishers, life jackets,
throwable seat cushions and other
equipment to be sure theyre in
good working condition. The best
way to prevent an unwanted
tragedy on the water is to be pre-
pared.
If boaters are uncertain what
safety equipment they are required
to have onboard, Gust suggests
that they pick up a copy of the
South Dakota Boating Handbook
at the nearest GFP Office, state
park, GFP-license outlet or by
going online at
h t t p : / / g f p . s d . g o v / f i s h i n g -
boating/boating/
The following list of required
safety equipment serves as a quick
reference, but Gust suggests that
boaters take a few minutes to re-
view other safety regulations in the
South Dakota Boating Handbook.
The majority of boats in South
Dakota are required to carry:
One U.S. Coast Guard-ap-
proved wearable, properly sized
personable flotation device for each
person aboard
One U.S. Coast Guard-ap-
proved throwable type flotation de-
vice (seat cushion or ring buoy) for
vessels 16 feet or longer
One U.S. Coast Guard-ap-
proved fire extinguisher of B-1 type
or larger for vessels with enclosed
gas compartments
While state regulations require
that children under the age of
seven must wear their life jackets
anytime a boat is moving on the
water at greater than no-wake
speed, Gust encourages parents to
have all children wear life jackets.
Gust also emphasizes that parents
should check to be sure each child
has a properly sized lifejacket to
ensure it doesnt come off when
they jump into the water.
Of course, it goes without say-
ing that life jackets will not keep
anyone afloat, young or old, if
theyre not wearing them, said
Gust.
Boating accidents present a spe-
cial safety concern, and Gust asks
that boaters be especially mindful
when other boats are present.
Many times we see boat acci-
dents that involve inexperienced
operators, but careless or reckless
operators present a problem for
everyone, he said.
Finally, Gust asks that boat op-
erators do their part to make for a
safe outing and limit alcohol con-
sumption.
The safety of everyone aboard a
boat depends on having a sober and
competent boat operator, he said.
While open containers of alcohol
are allowed in boats, we want to
ensure that each boat has a desig-
nated sober operator at all times.

Agriculture Secretary Tom Vil-
sack has announced that USDA is
accepting applications for grants to
help promote sustainable economic
development and job creation in
rural communities.
"Cooperative enterprises often
lead economic growth and job cre-
ation in rural areas," Vilsack said.
"USDA is offering grants to help or-
ganizations start cooperatives, ex-
pand existing ones or help develop
business opportunities in rural
areas."
USDA is offering Rural Cooper-
ative Development Grants (RCDG)
to non-profit corporations and in-
stitutions of higher education. The
grants also may be used to conduct
feasibility studies, create and im-
plement business plans, and help
businesses develop new markets
for their products and services.
One-year grants up to $175,000
are available. In most cases, grants
may be used to pay for up to 75 per-
cent of the cost of establishing and
operating rural cooperative devel-
opment centers. Recipients are re-
quired to match 25 percent of the
award amount. The grant period
should begin no earlier than Octo-
ber 1, 2012, and no later than Jan-
uary 1, 2013.
Many RCDG recipients have a
long history of job creation and eco-
nomic development. In Great Falls,
MT, the Montana Cooperative De-
velopment Center has helped 123
entities and guided the formation
of 37 cooperatives since its incep-
tion in 1999. One of these coopera-
tives, the Last Chance Caf, in
Sunburst, MT, near the Canadian
border, would have closed without
help from the development center
and its USDA Rural Cooperative
Development Grant. This iconic
caf is once again a successful local
diner and a gathering spot for the
local community.
Through this notice, USDA may
award up to $5.8 million in grants.
The deadline for RCDG applica-
tions is August 6, 2012. For addi-
tional information, see the June 7,
2012 Federal Register or contact
the USDA Rural Development
state office.
In addition, USDA is offering al-
most $2.37 million in grants
through USDA Rural Develop-
ment's Rural Business Opportunity
Grant (RBOG. The program pro-
motes sustainable economic devel-
opment in rural communities and
regions with exceptional needs.
For example, in 2011, USDA
Rural Development awarded
Southwestern Wisconsin Regional
Planning Commission a $90,000
grant to assist with the develop-
ment of a local food prospectus for
rural areas in the tri-state region of
Wisconsin, Iowa and Illinois. The
Commission will use the grant
award with partner agencies in
Wisconsin, Illinois and Iowa to im-
prove the local food opportunities
in the tri-state region. The two-
year effort will identify agricultural
strengths, regional opportunities,
and recommend a unified network
of processing, storage, and distribu-
tion facilities throughout the re-
gion.
The RBOG program provides
training and technical assistance
grants for business development,
entrepreneurs, and economic devel-
opment officials and assists with
economic development planning.
Funding is available to rural public
bodies, nonprofit corporations, Na-
tive American tribes and coopera-
tives with primarily rural members
that conduct activities for the mu-
tual benefit of the membership.
Applications for Rural Business
Opportunity Grants are due Au-
gust 6, 2012. Application instruc-
tions may be obtained from the
June 7, 2012 Federal Register, or
by contacting a USDA Rural Devel-
opment State Office.
Since taking office, President
Obama's Administration has taken
historic steps to improve the lives
of rural Americans, put people back
to work and build thriving
economies in rural communities.
From proposing the American Jobs
Act to establishing the first-ever
White House Rural Council
chaired by Agriculture Secretary
Tom Vilsack the President is com-
mitted to using Federal resources
more efficiently to foster sustain-
able economic prosperity and en-
sure the government is a strong
partner for businesses, entrepre-
neurs and working families in
rural communities.
USDA, through its Rural Devel-
opment mission area, administers
and manages housing, business
and community infrastructure and
facility programs through a na-
tional network of state and local of-
fices. Rural Development has an
active portfolio of more than $165
billion in loans and loan guaran-
tees. These programs are designed
to improve the economic stability of
rural communities, businesses, res-
idents, farmers and ranchers and
improve the quality of life in rural
areas.
USDA seeks applications for grants
to help rural businesses create jobs The days of cutting hay on an In-
ternational H or M tractor with a
sickle mower are long gone for
most, says Julie Walker, SDSU Ex-
tension Beef Specialist.
"It seemed like a field took for-
ever to finish cutting. I clearly re-
member the day that Dad
purchased a 12-foot mower with
conditioner. Boy could you lay
down the hay with that piece of
equipment," Walker said, of her
childhood growing up on a farm in
Minnesota. "Needless to say, hay
equipment has improved over the
last few decades."
Although equipment has im-
proved, there are still many deci-
sions Walker says producers still
need to make to ensure hay quality
is adequate. The decisions produc-
ers make as managers of forage re-
sources will hopefully reduce the
amount of supplementation that
will be required to meet the animal
nutrient requirements.
What is high quality hay?
"Many producers would say
quality hay is green in color, free of
mold and weeds, has a high portion
of leaves and it was put up without
rain on it," said Walker, adding
that although these are good indi-
cators of high quality hay, they
don't tell producers anything about
the nutritional content of the for-
age.
Sampling is the best way to un-
derstand the nutritional content of
forage, Walker says.
"Producers need to sample the
hay once it is in the stack and send
the sample to a lab for nutritional
analysis. This is essential to under-
standing its true quality," she said.
What are the best management
practices that should be considered
to improve the odds of getting a
stack of high quality hay?
To answer this question, Walker
first asks producers if they go for
quantity, or quality?
"Forage has the highest di-
gestibility in the vegetative stage,
and is less digestible at seed stage.
As the plant matures from vegeta-
tive to seed stage, the digestibility
decreases and the amount of bio-
mass available for harvest in-
creases," she says.
Figure 1 shows that maximum
yield of digestive dry matter. For
grasses, the maximum yield of di-
gestive dry matter would be ob-
tained at the late boot to early head
stage of maturity and for legumes,
the mid-to late-bud stage of matu-
rity is best.
Taken from Schroeder, 1996,
NDSU
Research has shown that forage
cut at or near sundown has higher
energy compared to morning.
"This is a natural physiological
process in plants wherein concen-
trations of soluble carbohydrates
and other highly digestible nutri-
ents are highest after a full day of
sunshine and photosynthesis,"
Walker said.
She adds that tall enough stub-
ble height should be left to aid in
drying as well as improves pickup
performance.
"However, too high of stubble
height will reduce yields," she says.
Correct hay curing (drying) is
the next step. Walker says various
factors can reduce hay quality dur-
ing the drying phase, these include;
respiration, weather and loss of
leaves. Some tips she shares to
speed up curing include; using a
mower conditioner speeds drying
by opening the waxy layer sur-
rounding the stems in legumes;
large and/or coarse stemmed for-
ages have shown faster drying
when conditioned. Wider swaths
also allow for faster drying. Raking
should be avoided if possible when
the forage moisture is less than 40
percent.
Hay desiccants are used to re-
duce the amount of time required
for hay drying. The commonly used
hay desiccants are potassium car-
bonate or sodium carbonate, which
are sprayed onto the hay during
the cutting phase.
Walker says hay desiccants are
effective on alfalfa, clover and
birdsfoot trefoil to remove the
moisture-conserving waxy cutin
layer of the plant, however, they
are ineffective on grasses such as
orchardgrass, timothy and
bromegrass.
"When considering using hay
desiccants remember to include the
cost of the chemical as well as the
sprayer for application," she said.
Walker adds that reducing leaf
loss during the baling phase is key
to maintaining quality.
"Baling at moisture content
above 15 percent, has less leaf loss
than below 15 percent. Typical
moisture content of the bales needs
to be below 18 to 20 percent to pre-
vent mold growth," she said. "When
putting up hay with higher mois-
ture content other management
steps need to be implemented to
ensure maintaining hay quality as
well as reducing the risk of fire."
Feed costs are a large portion of
your annual cow cost, so managing
the forage resource to get a quality
hay product, which will reduce the
need for additional supplementa-
tion, can ultimately reduce the feed
bill. For more information visit,

BOARD OF JACKSON
COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
May 30, 2012
The Board of Jackson County Commis-
sioners met in special session at 3:00
p.m., Wednesday, May 30, 2012 in the
Commissioner's Room of the Jackson
County Courthouse. Chairman Jim Stil-
well called the meeting to order with
members Glen Bennett, Delores Bonen-
berger, Larry Denke and Ron Twiss pres-
ent. The purpose of the meeting was to
attend to matters that had arisen since
the regular meeting.
All motions carried unanimously unless
otherwise noted.
Bonenberger provided fliers obtained
pertaining to open public meetings.
Mitch Olney, Hwy. Supt., and Kolette
Struble, Hwy. Sec. were present.
Lease options for a John Deere 770 GP
Series motor grader were provided by R
D O Equipment. Total cost of the motor
grader is $237,800 plus fees of $550.
The information was reviewed.
Mitch Olney reported that the transmis-
sion may be going out of the older CAT
120 motor grader. He reported that the
Volvo motor grader has been repaired
and the mulcher has been removed from
the front of the Volvo. Discussion was
held on the mulcher not working properly.
Chairman Stilwell deferred discussion of
motor grader leasing to later in the meet-
ing.
Discussion was held on the mulcher
quote presented by Sheehan Mack
Equipment. The cost of the mulcher is
$23,595. Mitch Olney reported that the
disc is working well, but roads will have
to be mowed now that grass has grown
on shoulders. Stilwell reported that
shoulders were pulled on a section of
road, that the material was not spread,
and was left overnight. He requested that
the crew do shorter sections of road
when pulling shoulders, and finish by the
end of the day. Discussion was held on
the countys wheel packer. Discussion
resumed on the mulcher quote. Bennett
moved, Denke seconded, that Jackson
County not purchase a mulcher or
packer in 2012.
Sheriff Clements met with the board and
requested authorization for him and the
Deputy to attend two law enforcement
trainings in mid June. Bennett moved,
Bonenberger seconded, that the Sheriff
and Deputy be authorized to attend train-
ings in June.
Sheriff Clements reported on equipment
being installed on the new 2013 Explorer.
Vicki Wilson, Auditor, reported that the
CAP area of the Library building had
been broken in to, a freezer was un-
plugged, and animals have again been
getting into the building. She reported
that she had contacted Brigham Bennett
to repair damage to the building, and a
claim has been filed with the insurance
company.
Bonenberger reported that Marlene
Knutson, Central S. D. Enhancement
District, will be at the June meeting and
present information on possible funding
for the Library building and County Shop
building.
Mitch Olney presented information on the
SDDOT signing program. The signing
program would be 100% federally
funded. Bonenberger moved, Twiss sec-
onded, that the following resolution be
adopted:

penalty if the project is not completed on
agreed date. Other revisions were also
discussed.
States Attorney Van Gorp reported that
BankWest has provided verbal notice
that he is to pay a $10.00 fee for docu-
ments he has notarized at the bank.
Mitch Olney reported that Butler Machin-
ery has billed $480 for mileage to service
a Cat motor grader on a road project. He
informed the board they were in the area
when he contacted them, and they did
the service call that day. Discussion was
held on hauling equipment for repairs.
An agreement for engineering services
by Brosz Engineering on the Guptill
Bridge was presented to the board. Total
cost of engineering services are
$3,600.00. Report was made that the
bridge has been installed. Discussion
was held on items of concern with the
bridge. Bennett moved, Denke sec-
onded, that the contract be approved and
signed. The motion did not carry as per
the following vote: Bennett, yea; Bonen-
berger, nay; Denke, yea; Twiss, nay; Stil-
well, nay.
Discussion on the Guptill Bridge and the
agreement with Brosz Engineering re-
sumed. The agreement with Brosz Engi-
neering is a contract for services, not a
billing. Bennett moved, Denke seconded,
that the agreement be approved and
signed. Motion carried with all members
voting yea.
Discussion was held on water damage to
the Kadoka county shop building. Mitch
Olney suggested removing the second
story, and adding on to the building. Re-
port was made that the water lines need
to be replaced, and that bottled water
has been purchased for drinking at the
shop. The board authorized inspection of
the building by a certified inspector. Dis-
cussion was held on designing a building
prior to requesting quotes or advertising
for bids. The board requested that Mitch
Olney draft a design of a shop.
Mitch Olney reported there is a workshop
on maintenance of gravel roads in June.
May wait until fall to attend as the entire
crew is to attend.
Mitch Olney reported that all the blades
need Freon. The board authorized him to
contact Jeremy Mansfield to recharge
Freon in equipment.
Mitch Olney reported that there is ap-
proximately 7,000 ton of county gravel
stockpiled at the Bierle Pit, and inquired
if the board would be interested in selling
it to Haakon County. The board informed
him they do not plan to sell the gravel, as
it is needed in the northeast portion of the
county.
Mitch Olney reported that Dennis Sharp
would be willing to sell gravel to the
county at $0.60 per ton. The gravel
would be near the Badlands Ranch Re-
sort.
Discussion was held on mining permit
being obtained at the Guptill Pit to the
west of Hwy. 44, and screened gravel
from that pit to be used on the T. K.
Sampson road.
Mitch Olney reported that Dwight Deaver
has informed him he may be terminating
employment. Report was made that the
current ad for Highway Maintenance
Worker will be advertised until June 8th.
Discussion resumed on the RDO Equip-
ment motor grader lease options. Denke
moved, Stilwell seconded, that Jackson
County not purchase a motor grader at
this time.
At 5:18 p.m., Bennett moved, Denke sec-
onded, that the board go into executive
session to discuss personnel matters.
Mitch Olney was called in to executive
session at 6:00 p.m.
At 6:35 p.m., Denke moved, Bonen-
berger seconded that the board come
out of executive session. No action was
taken.
Bennett requested that an executive ses-
sion be scheduled for personnel matters
at the June 8th meeting.
There being no further business to come
before the board Twiss moved, Bonen-
berger seconded, that the meeting be
adjourned and that the board meet in
regular session at 9:00 a.m., Friday, June
8, 2012.

Park Rangers received a 911 call
from two European visitors at ap-
proximately 10:30 a.m. on Thurs.,
June 7 reporting an injured hiker
on the Notch Trail. Park Rangers
and the Interior Volunteer Fire De-
partment were first on scene after
hiking in about mile to find Dave
Johnson a 57-year-old man from
Audubon, Pennsylvania who had
fallen, sliding into a crack and was
experiencing severe leg and back
pain along with numerous cuts and
scrapes. He stated that he had
started hiking at 7:30 a.m. and had
been trapped and unable to get
help until he was discovered.
Multiple agencies responded to
the incident including Kadoka and
Philip Ambulance companies, Jack-
son County Sheriff s officers and
the South Dakota Highway Patrol.
After assessing both his injuries
and the situation, it was deter-
mined that the safest and most ap-
propriate method of rescue would
be by helicopter, especially consid-
ering the difficulty of bringing a lit-
ter down the wood/cable ladder
that connects the upper and lower
parts of the Notch Trail. Black
Hills Life Flight was already on
scene with both a flight nurse and
paramedic having hiked in to pro-
vide advanced medical care. After
the South Dakota Air National
Guard arrived on scene, they were
able to use a cable hoist to bring
the victim to the Life Flight Heli-
copter for evacuation to Rapid City
Regional Medical Center.
Guard assists in rescue
mission in National Park
Four South Dakota Army Na-
tional Guard Soldiers assisted in a
rescue mission in Badlands Na-
tional Park, near Interior, Thurs-
day, June 7.
The Soldiers, using a UH-72
Lakota helicopter, conducted a
cable-hoist extraction of a park vis-
itor who was hiking, fell and was
injured on Notch Trail, according to
a National Park Service press re-
lease.
Dave Johnson, 57, from
Audubon, Penn., was hiking alone
and when he ventured off the trail
and slipped and slid into a crack,
according to the release.
Park officials stated he started
hiking at 7:30 a.m. and had been
trapped and unable to get help
until he was discovered by other
park visitors at approximately
10:30 a.m. He was experiencing se-
vere leg and back pain along with
numerous cuts and scrapes.
Park Rangers and the Interior
Volunteer Fire Department were
first on scene after hiking in about
three quarters of a mile to find
Johnson. Multiple agencies re-
sponded to the incident including
Kadoka and Philip Ambulance
companies, Jackson County Sher-
iff's officers and the South Dakota
Highway Patrol.
The call for assistance to the
Guard came at about 11:30 a.m.,
after Park Service and emergency
response personnel determined
that the safest and most appropri-
ate method of rescue would be by
helicopter, especially considering
the difficulty of bringing a litter
down the wood/cable ladder that
connects the upper and lower parts
of Notch Trail, according to the re-
lease.
Incident command officials at
the scene made the determination
that the SDARNG's UH-72 Lakota
helicopter had the right capabili-
ties to extract the injured hiker.
This was the South Dakota
Guard's first live-rescue mission in
the state with the new UH-72
Lakota helicopter, which was
fielded in May 2011. The Guard,
along with the National Park Serv-
ice and other agencies, trained for
this exact scenario about a week
earlier.
"We trained for this type of sce-
nario on May 30," said Chief War-
rant Officer 4 Christian Frank,
pilot-in-command. "That's how im-
portant the interagency coordina-
tion and training is. The rescue
mission went very smooth."

Milk Matters
MyPlate calls the former
MyPyramid Milk Group the
Dairy Group. Consuming dairy
products provides health benefits
such as improved bone health.
Bone mass is built during child-
hood and adolescence, so the in-
take of dairy products during these
years is especially important to
bone health. It shows that milk
matters.
Foods in the Dairy Group pro-
vide nutrients that are vital for
health and maintenance of your
body. Calcium builds strong bones
and teeth in children and youth. It
also helps adults keep their bone
mass so they do not develop weak
bones and diseases like osteoporo-
sis. Vitamin D is a nutrient that
makes sure the body has proper
levels of calcium and phosphorus,
which help to build and maintain
bones. Milk and soymilk that are
fortified with vitamin D are good
sources of this nutrient. Diets rich
in potassium may help to maintain
healthy blood pressure and reduce
the risk of having a stroke.
Some individuals are surprised
to learn that youth and adults
need more of the dairy group than
children to promote good health.
Dairy choices should be low-fat or
fat-free to cut calories and satu-
rated fat. How much is needed?
Older children, teens and adults
need 3 cups a day, while children 4
to 8 years old need 2-1/2 cups, and
children 2 to 3 years old need 2
cups.
Tips for making wise choices in
the dairy group are as follows: In-
clude low-fat or fat-free milk or
calcium-fortified soymilk as a bev-
erage at meals. If you currently
drink whole milk, gradually switch
to lower fat versions. This change
cuts calories but doesnt reduce
calcium or other essential nutri-
ents. If you drink cappuccinos or
lattes ask for them with fat-free
milk (skim) milk. Make fruit-yo-
gurt smoothies in the blender. Top
fruit salads and baked potatoes
with low-fat yogurt instead of high
fat toppings such as sour cream.
Plan to use plain yogurt instead of
sour cream for dip recipes.
Cant drink milk? If you avoid
milk because of lactose intoler-
ance, the most reliable way to get
the health benefits of dairy prod-
ucts is to choose lactose-free alter-
natives within the Dairy Group,
such as cheese, yogurt, lactose-free
milk, or calcium-fortified soymilk
(soy beverage) or consume the en-
zyme lactase before consuming
milk.
Milk matters. Parents who
drink milk and eat dairy foods
show their kids that it is impor-
tant. Go to: http://www.choosemy-
plate.gov/food-groups/dairy.html to
find out what foods are included in
the Dairy Group.

all members voting yes, and the motion
carried 5-0.
C. Planning/zoning Commission: Ken
Wilmarth stated that the public hearing
on the comprehensive plan was held be-
fore the planning/zoning commission on
May 30, 2012. The commission voted to
accept the plan as prepared and it will
now go to City Council for their public
hearing. The council public hearing on
the comprehensive plan will be held at
the regular July council meeting, July 9,
2012. The commissions next meeting
will be held in the annex on June 13,
2012.
D. Annual Generator Maintenance
Agreement/Interstate Power Systems:

by Willert. A roll call vote was taken, with
all members voting yes and the motion
carried 5-0.
COUNCIL REPORTS:
A. Water/Sewer: no report. Jackie Stilwell
asked permission to have the city join
SDWarn. This is a water/wastewater re-
sponse network designed to assist mem-
bers in the event of an emergency. There
is no cost to join. There was no opposi-
tion by the council.
B. Streets: Solon stated that the shop
needs to have a new sewer line installed.
In addition, the furnace is not working
and it will be costly to repair as it is an
old, fuel oil system. He will get quotes on
both projects. The culvert at the Catholic
Church was brought up and Solon stated
that he would not recommend the instal-
lation of this culvert due to the length of
it and that it would be too long for main-
tenance. A question was raised about the
possibility of additional street lighting
being installed in certain areas. West
Central Electric will be contacted about
this concern.
C. Solid Waste: no report. Solon stated
that the gutters on the north side of the
transfer station may need to be repaired
or replaced.
D. Liquor: no report.
E. Auditorium/Park: The pool is open and
the lifeguards completed certification
training.
F. Public Safety: The monthly report was
distributed.
G. Mayors Report: The mayor stated
that there were no changes to the com-
mittee assignments and preliminary
budget worksheets for 2013 were distrib-
uted in the council packets.

Fertility is influenced by many
factors, and one of the best meth-
ods to look at factors that influence
fertility is with the 'Equation of Re-
production,' says George Perry,
SDSU Extension Beef Reproduc-
tive Management Specialist.
Perry explains that the 'Equa-
tion of Reproduction' includes the
following four areas:
Percentage of animals detected
in standing estrus and insemi-
nated;
Inseminator efficiency;
Fertility level of the semen;
Fertility level of the herd.
The first article focused on de-
tecting standing estrus and insem-
inator efficiency was the focus of
the second article in this four-part
series on managing for reproduc-
tive success released by SDSU Ex-
tension. This is the third article in
the series and will discuss fertility
level of the semen.
Fertility level of the semen
The bull influences overall herd
fertility more than any other single
animal, and loss of fertility by a
bull or straw of semen can cause
substantial loss to a potential calf
crop, Perry says.
"The bull supplies half of the ge-
netics to all of the calves he sires,
and bull selection can be the most
powerful method of genetic im-
provement in the herd," Perry said.
"Clearly there are differences
among bulls in their ability to
achieve pregnancy success."
Perry points to research con-
ducted at the USDA-ARS research
center in Miles City, Mont.
This research has shown
tremendous variation in pregnancy
rates between bulls when they
were used either in a fixed-time AI
breeding program or used following
detecting cows in estrus. However,
all of these bulls in this study
looked normal when evaluated
under a microscope for motility and
morphology.
"For several decades seminal
traits have been studied to try to
predict reproductive success. Re-
search is being conducted to iden-
tify characteristics of semen that
influence fertility rates," he said.
"The ability of sperm to become ca-
pable of fertilizing, binding and
penetrating an oocyte all influence
a bull's fertility."
Perry says that research is un-
derway to develop tests that will
more accurately determine the fer-
tility of individual bulls.
"Our ability to predict the fertil-
ity of individual bulls either by a
semen sample or a DNA sample
may eventually be possible," he
said. "Nevertheless, the only cur-
rent method for determination of
fertility differences between bulls
requires the insemination of sev-
eral thousand animals under the
same management practices."
Currently, Perry says the best
method for cattle producers to ac-
quire semen with good fertility is to
buy it from a reputable source and
make sure it has all been handled
correctly.
Fertility level
and natural service
With Natural service, physical
characteristics, such as scrotal cir-
cumference, mating ability, and
semen quality play a role in a bull's
fertility," says Perry.
He says the best way to deter-
mine these factors is through a
Breeding Soundness examination
(BSE). The American Society for
Theriogenology developed mini-
mum guidelines for a bull to pass a
BSE.
To successfully complete a
breeding soundness evaluation, a
bull must have at least 30 percent
sperm motility, 70 percent normal
sperm morphology, and a minimum
scrotal circumference based on age.
Bulls meeting the preceding mini-
mum requirements are classified
as satisfactory potential breeders.
If a bull does not pass one of these
tests, he is classified as a "classifi-
cation deferred" animal (meaning
it is recommended that the bull be
tested again) or he is classified as
an unsatisfactory potential
breeder. Bulls should be tested ap-
proximately one month to six
weeks prior to the breeding season.
"This allows for time to retest
bulls if unsatisfactory results are
obtained or time to find a replace-
ment herd bull," Perry said.
The overall purpose of the phys-
ical examination portion of a BSE
is to determine a bull's mating abil-
ity. Mating ability can be described
as the physical capabilities needed
to successfully breed a cow. A bull
must be able to see, smell, eat, and
move normally to successfully
breed cows. The physical examina-
tion closely scrutinizes a bull's
eyes, teeth, feet, legs, and nutri-
tional level (evaluated by body con-
dition score). Any disease or injury
that affects joints, muscles, nerves,
bones, or tendons may cause a bull
to be structurally unsound. In ad-
dition to structural unsoundness,
diseases or injuries to the penis or
prepuce can result in an inability to
breed via natural service.
"These abnormalities will only
be detected by careful examination
or observing an attempted mating
of a cow. A bull that has high qual-
ity semen but is unable to physi-
cally breed cows is unsatisfactory
for natural service," he said.
Sperm motility and morphology
Whether natural service or AI is
used, Perry says two of the most
important indicators of bull fertil-
ity currently available are sperm
motility and morphology.
"With AI identifying females in
estrus and proper placement of
semen are critical factors for ob-
taining desirable pregnancy rates
in the cowherd; however, compro-
mised semen quality through
semen handling will negate the at-
tention to detail of the two factors
discussed previously," Perry said.
"With natural service, structurally
sound bulls with a large scrotal cir-
cumference and high semen quality
should be selected as herd sires. It
is important to remember that
semen quality of an individual bull
changes over time and, for a bull to
be fertile, desire to find cows in es-
trus (see Managing For Reproduc-
tive Success: Detecting Estrus Part
I) and mating ability should be
evaluated periodically.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC
MEETING
JACKSON COUNTY
DRIVERS LICENSE
SERVICES
The Jackson County Commissioners are
holding a public meeting at 8:00 p.m.,
Friday, June 29, 2012 in the Courtroom
of the Jackson County Courthouse, 700
Main Street, Kadoka, SD. The purpose
of the meeting is to obtain public input as
to whether Jackson County should con-
tinue to provide drivers licensing serv-
ices for the S. D. Department of Public
Safety.
In 2004 Jackson County entered into an
agreement with the S. D. Department of
Public Safety to provide driver licensing
services for the State of South Dakota.
At the time Jackson County entered into
the agreement with the State, the State
provided driver licensing services in sur-
rounding communities. The State has re-
duced or eliminated the service provided
in those communities. This has created
a larger work load for the Jackson
County office(s) providing the services,
and the cost to Jackson County is
greater than the $5.00 per license fee
that Jackson County retains for providing
the service. Jackson County is consider-
ing hiring additional staff for the in-
creased work load.
Citizens come from up to one hundred
miles away to obtain their drivers li-
censes in Jackson County, and many
chose to come to Jackson County in-
stead of going to the state sites in other
communities, Pierre or Rapid City.
Jackson County requested that Jackson
County be allowed to retain one-half of
the license fees. The state has denied
the request. State law does not allow the
county to charge an additional fee.
If additional funding is not found, the
Jackson County Commissioners are con-
sidering discontinuing the driver licensing
services.
For persons unable to attend this meet-
ing, written comments may be sent to:

NOTICE OF CDBG
PUBLIC HEARING
Jackson County expects to submit an ap-
plication to the State of South Dakota for
a Community Development Block Grant
in order to assist with the financing of a
library project. The county expects to
apply for up to $515,000 from the CDBG
Community Projects Account to be used
for the proposed project which will cost
approximately $600,000. A public hear-
ing will be held at 7:00 p.m. MT, June 29,
2012, at the Jackson County Courthouse
Courtroom, Kadoka, South Dakota.
The purpose of the hearing is to receive
comments regarding the application from
members of the county and to assess the
community development needs of the
county, prioritize them, and identify the
activities to be undertaken to meet the
needs. The meeting is open to the public
and interested persons are encouraged
to attend. Disabled individuals wishing
assistance should contact the County
Auditor for information and/or special as-
sistancethe request should be made 24
hours in advance of the meeting.

son County Commission, PO Box 280,

Patty Ulmen
Finance Officer
[Published June 21 & 28, 2012, at an es-
timated cost of $23.12]
In 1988 Arnold P. Gold MD, a
physician educator at Columbia
University, noted a disturbing
trend for Medical Students and
Residents. Students were over-
emphasizing advancing technology
while forgetting about the value of
a caring bedside manner. Indeed,
a patient survey noted that 12% of
patients believed their doctor
didnt know their name; 20% felt
the doctor was rude or condescend-
ing; and 47% sensed their doctor
was rushed.
Dr. Gold wondered why this was
happening and if there was a way
to train young students in medi-
cine to be more compassionate.
How do you teach someone to have
empathy and feel anothers pain?
Thus the Gold Humanism In Med-
icine Foundation was begun in
order to emphasize the virtue of
caring and the value of simple
kindness at the bedside. This is
not just because it is the right
thing to do, but also because it is a
very powerful tool in helping pa-
tients and families heal as they
struggle with any kind of illness.
Humanism by definition started
with the ancient Greeks, and an-
cient Chinese, Indians, and Per-
sians, as each group,
independently, thousands of years
ago described value concepts of
compassion and justice. In the late
1400s and early 1500s the Italian
Renaissance brought back Greek
teachings, classical humanities,
and an ethical philosophy of social
science. Hoping to bring all disci-
plines together they also studied
the Jewish Kabbalah as well as
the earliest Gospel writings of
Christian forefathers.
History has it, however, that even-
tually the humanism movement
clashed with certain religious lead-
ers who declared that love of hu-
manity could not come from
human reason alone but only from
the divine. Humanism leaders, in
contrast, came to reject any com-
ponent of faith not supported by
scientific proof. Unfortunately the
polarized groups lost sight of the
message about caring for one an-
other.
I like best the German Art Histo-
rian Erwin Panofskys definition of
humanism as an attitude of re-
spect for the human dignity be-
tween individuals. He said that
humans are intrinsically free and
rational but are limited by fallibil-
ity and frailty. We therefore have
responsibility for each other to tol-
erate failings while protecting
freedoms.
God, grant me the wisdom and
empathy to feel anothers pain; the
responsibility to accept frailty
while protecting freedom; and the
kindness of a good bedside man-
ner.

USDAs Crop Progress Report
USDAs latest crop progress re-
port for the nation shows that an
estimated 20% of the nations 2012
winter wheat is harvested. Mis-
souri is around 30% cut, with a
normal harvest date of early July.
Kansas is around 20% harvested.
Wow, this is way is ahead of a 3%
national average harvest rate for
this time of the year! Looks like
yields are decent also. 82% of the
crop was rated fair to excellent.
That means this years harvest is
on track to be a big one but not
a record breaker.
For South Dakota the early crop
progress trend continues. Headed
winter wheat in the state is esti-
mated at 96% vs. a 5 year average
of 52% for this time of the crop
year. Also, SD spring wheat, barley
and oats crop progress are all way
ahead of the norms. The break-
down on winter wheat crop condi-
tion in the state is at: 35% rated
fair; 46% rated as good and 11%
excellent.
Even planted corn throughout
the state is earlier, with reports of
the average at 12 inches tall, as of
the June 10, SD Ag Statistical
Progress Report vs. a five year av-
erage of 6 inches for the same time
of the crop year. SD sunflowers are
71% planted vs. the five-year aver-
age of 42% planted.

Minimizing Losses
in Hay Storage
Many areas are experiencing
low hay yields in 2012, and with
hay prices at high levels, minimiz-
ing storage losses is increasingly
important.
One of the most economical hay
production packages is large round
bales. This is primarily because of
low labor requirements. However,
storage losses are often substan-
tial.
Making a well-formed, dense
bale is the first step toward reduc-
ing storage losses. Moisture con-
tent at baling also plays an
important role. If hay is too wet,
quality can decrease due to heat-
ing and molds. Baling too dry can
cause baler losses to increase dra-
matically. Round bales should be
baled at 15 to 20 percent, with the
ideal moisture content about 17
percent.
Storage method and length of
storage period have a tremendous
impact on weathering losses.
Barn-stored hay suffers signifi-
cantly less weathering loss than
unprotected hay stored outside.
Dry matter losses for barn-stored
hay are typically in the 2- to 8-per-
cent range. Covering outside
stored hay can also reduce weath-
ering. Hay stored outside will con-
tinue to deteriorate as long as it is
stored, however most spoilage oc-
curs early in the storage period.
Large round bale storage losses
can easily exceed 25 percent when
bales are stored outside, unpro-
tected, but losses can be mini-
mized through good management.
If outside storage is the chosen
method, pay close attention to se-
lecting a storage site and stacking
method.
A well-drained site minimizes
deterioration on the bottom of the
bale. Bales stored on damp soil ab-
sorb moisture that causes damage.
If possible, elevate bales by stack-
ing on old tires, shipping pallets or
railroad ties. Adding a base layer
of 3- to 4-inch crushed rock to the
storage site will also help mini-
mize losses at the bottom of bales.
Storing bales on the ridge of a hill
instead of near the bottom will also
reduce bottom deterioration.
Weeds or tall grass at the storage
site will increase deterioration of
the bottom of the bale.
Round bales stored outside need
air circulation and sunlight to help
dry the outer layer after a rain.
Storing the bales under trees
blocks wind circulation and sun-
light, which helps dry the bales.
Any protection that trees might
offer from rain is more than offset
by the damage due to the shading
they provide.
Bales are sometimes stored in-
dividually without touching other
bales for ease of handling with
equipment that grabs the bale
from both ends. If stored individu-
ally, leave at least 12-18 inches be-
tween bales for air circulation.
Storing bales with the rounded
sides touching is not recom-
mended. This creates a trap for
rain and snow. The bales may be
easier to handle with some equip-
ment, but losses will be higher.
Tightly aligning bales end to end
better utilizes storage area and
protects the ends of the bales from
weathering. Leave 12-18 inches
between the rounded sides to avoid
trapping rain or snow. Aligning
rows north-south allows equal
amount of sunlight on both sides of
the row.
Stacking bales in pyramids is
popular to save space, but can re-
sult in high levels of loss due to
rain and snow accumulation at the
junction of the layers. Stacking
bales by turning one bale on end,
with another on top (rounded side
up) reduces losses to nearly as low
as bales stored in rows, one bale
high, but also saves space. Plastic
bale covers or bags can reduce
losses, but they should be fastened
securely to the bale so the wind
will not tear them.
