ment laws implemented in recentyears and determine if any changesare needed. In particular, he citedthe state's open records reform lawof 2009, which created a "presump-tion of openness" for public accessto government records and files.

Jackley noted that there is a"delicate balance" between theneed to protect the privacy of cer-tain information kept by govern-ment and the need fortransparency in government. Henoted the number of cases thathave been brought before the OpenMeetings Commission since itsstart in 2004.

News media representatives onthe task force made several sugges-tions for the entire group to con-sider, including possible changes toprovisions in the open meetingslaws that allow for executive ses-sions and changes in the openrecords laws that allow for certaintypes of information to be kept con-fidential.

The group also heard a presen-tation by Deputy Attorney GeneralDiane Best about the history ofvarious open government laws im-plemented the past 10 years.

--SDNA News Service

An open government task forceappointed by the governor and theattorney general agreed at its firstmeeting Aug. 22 in Pierre to lookcloser at state laws pertaining togovernment meetings and recordsand discuss possible changes tothose laws.

Thirty-one people representinggovernment, news media, law en-forcement, courts and businessidentified a list of issues related tothe state's open meetings andrecords laws and agreed to formtwo subcommittees to tackle thelist.

The task force plans to meetagain Sept. 12 in Pierre.

The task force, appointed byGov. Dennis Daugaard and Attor-ney General Marty Jackley, is sim-ilar to groups formed by formerAttorney General Larry Long adecade ago. The work of thosegroups led to several changes inSouth Dakota's open governmentlaws, including the creation of theOpen Meetings Commission.

"We think good government istransparent and open," Daugaardtold the task force in opening com-ments Aug. 22.

Gov. Dennis Daugaard has is-sued an Executive Order that,upon receipt of a permit, grantspermission to move over-widthbaled livestock feed not exceeding12-feet-wide or 15-feet-high inSouth Dakota two hours after sun-set and two hours before sunrise. Over-width vehicles must beequipped with flashing or rotatingwhite or amber warning lightsplaced at each side of the load’swidest extremity. The warninglights must be clearly visible to mo-torists approaching from the frontand rear. Movement under the ex-ecutive order is valid only for baledlivestock feed. The Governor’s Executive Orderallows over-width moving of baledlivestock feed until cessation of thedrought emergency or no later thanOct. 20, 2012. “This summer’s persistentdrought conditions have left live-stock producers across SouthDakota with inadequate feed sup-plies,” said Walt Bones, SouthDakota Secretary of Agriculture.“Increasing hauling height and

width restrictions for baled haywill allow producers to move feedin a more efficient manner.” The normal restriction on SouthDakota highway loads is 14-feet, 3-inches high and 8-feet, 6-incheswide. Although height and width re-strictions for baled livestock feedhave been temporarily increased byExecutive Order, several highwaysin the state have width and heightrestrictions in place because of con-struction or permanent structures.Truckers are encouraged to checktheir routes ahead of time for thoserestrictions. Agriculture is South Dakota'sNo. 1 industry, generating nearly$21 billion in annual economic ac-tivity and employing more than80,000 South Dakotans. The SouthDakota Department of Agricul-ture's mission is to promote, pro-tect, preserve and improve thisindustry for today and tomorrow.Visit us online at http://sdda.sd.govor follow us on Facebook and Twit-ter.

South Dakota’s average compos-ite ACT score remains unchangedfrom last year at 21.8, where it hasbeen for the past three years. Thenational average was also un-changed from a year ago, sitting at21.1 as it has for four of the pastfive years. While South Dakota’s scores areconsistently higher than the na-tional average by several tenths ofa point, South Dakota Secretary ofEducation Dr. Melody Schopp saysthere is always room for improve-ment. She said efforts, such as imple-mentation of the Common CoreState Standards, should help booststudent learning overall. With theCommon Core, students will bechallenged to engage higher-levelthinking skills in order to arrive ata deeper understanding of the con-cepts they are learning. “The Common Core standardswere designed to equip studentswith the knowledge and skills nec-essary as they move into postsec-ondary education and careers,”Schopp said. The ACT is scored on a scale of 1to 36, with 36 as the highest possi-ble score. Students are tested inthe areas of English, mathematics,

reading and science, although thescience portion is science reason-ing, not science-content knowledge.The ACT test is commonly used asa benchmark for college entranceand readiness. In South Dakota, 81 percent ofgraduating seniors took the ACT,which is high for states that don’trequire ACT testing for graduation. The state Department of Educa-tion offers South Dakota studentsseveral resources to prepare for thetest, such as access to free testpreparation materials availablethrough SDMyLife.com, an onlineacademic and career planning re-source hosted by the department. In addition, the department col-laborates with the Board of Re-gents to identify and assist highschool students whose ACT scoresindicate they will require remedia-tion at the college and universitylevel. “We have tools in place that canhelp assist these students inshoring up their knowledge andskills,” Schopp said. “If studentscan get some of this remedial workdone before their postsecondary ed-ucation, it will save them both timeand money once they make thetransition.”

State’s ACT scores steady,still above national average

Veterans from Veterans Adminis-tration Black Hills Health CareSystem visited with five inspiringmilitary heroes, Thursday, August16, when bicyclists from the LongRide Home Project made a pit stopat the Fort Meade campus. The project was started by CaseyMiller, a civilian, as a way to helpveterans with their transitionshome. He selected five military he-roes from across the nation to par-ticipate in a summer long bike ridefrom Aberdeen, Wash., to the Dis-trict of Columbia, to raise moneyand awareness for other veteransin need. The journey will take them threemonths and they will pedal morethan 4,000 miles. Their scheduleput them in Kyle, August 21, andMartin, August 22. Miller selected his group of serv-ice people to include men andwomen of varied ages, backgroundsand interests. “I tried to get as di-versed of a group as possible,”Miller said. “I figure, pain doesn’tdiscriminate. So why should we?” The group of cyclists includesservice people suffering from par-tial paralysis, post traumatic stressdisorder and homelessness. Two ofthe cyclists are making this crosscountry trek on modified bicycles,made to accommodate their lowerextremity paralysis. Veterans atFt. Meade were amazed by the cy-

clists’ determination, and their in-teresting bikes. Veterans from Ft. Meade had anafternoon of recalling their militarytales to the visiting veteran bicy-clists. They swapped tour storiesand riding tips. By the end of their

visit, it was hard to tell who wasmore inspired by whom. “I’ll think of you when I get upthat next hill,” said Colleen Bush-nell, US Air Force retired, cyclist,as she parted ways with a veteran.“It’s been an honor to meet you.”

Church Calendar

2 Chronicles 20:5-12Modern-day Christians can learn some good lessons

from Old Testament prayers. When Jehoshaphat be-seeched God for help, he struck a balance between ask-ing the Lord to meet his needs and proclaiming His

greatness. Likewise, our requests shouldbe made with recognition of who God is. Otherwise, the focus ofour prayers becomes need, weakness, failure, or fear. Jehoshaphat cried out to God about his terrible predicament, but he also exalted the Lord's attributes,acknowledging the great things He had done. When we pray like this, we become stronger, bolder, andmore forthright. That's why knowing the Word of God is so important. When we read about how the Lordworked in the lives of others, we understand His awesome power and might. Then we can look to themen and women of the Old Testament as an example and begin to pray in a similar way. God's wonder-working power is still available today, and He wants His children to access it. By proclaiming, "Power and might are in Your hand so that no one can stand against You" (v. 6), Je-hoshaphat was praising God and at the same time reminding himself of the Lord's greatness. As youpray, remind God of His mercy, talk to Him about His grace, and recall His mighty power. Do you want to revolutionize your prayer life? If you focus as much attention on declaring the attributesof the Lord as you do on making requests, your prayers will take on a whole new dimension. They'll ceaseto be self-centered and instead will become God-centered.

by Senator John Thune One of the best pieces of advicemy parents gave me as a youngman getting ready to leave for col-lege was to never forget where Icame from. More than 30 yearslater my parents’ advice still ringstrue. As a United States Senator I canthink of no better way to stay con-nected to the state I represent thanto spend time at home talking withSouth Dakotans about the issuesand policies important to them. Ialways look forward to the AugustCongressional work period becauseit gives me the opportunity totravel across the state and stayconnected with constituents. ThisAugust work period has been nodifferent. I have enjoyed meetingwith a variety of groups and people,and celebrating the success of com-munities across the state. Earlier this month, I traveleddown to Vermillion where I at-tended the ribbon cutting cere-mony for the Lewis and ClarkRegional Water System watertreatment plant. This new plant isa victory for the 300,000 people ineastern South Dakota who will re-ceive water. I also traveled to Por-cupine where I took part in thegrand opening celebration of theRockyford Community School. This

school will enroll around 500 pre-school through eighth grade stu-dents on the Pine Ridge IndianReservation. I always enjoy connecting withthe agriculture producers in thestate, and again this year waspleased to gather with farmers andranchers at DakotaFest inMitchell. Due to the high tempera-tures and sparse rainfall, this hasbeen a particularly difficult yearfor farmers and ranchers. As Con-gress works to pass a new FarmBill, it is important to get feedbackfrom the producers impacted bythese policies. Fair season is also upon us, andthat meant visits to Parker for theTurner County Fair and Aberdeenfor the Brown County Fair. I en-joyed taking in the exhibits, food,and music with many of my fellowfair-goers. Of course, no fair seasonwould be complete without a trip toHuron. I look forward to again at-tending the South Dakota StateFair. As I wrap up another Augustwork period, I was glad to connectwith people all over the state. It isalways good to hear directly fromthe people I am fortunate enoughto represent and those who willcontinue to keep me close to SouthDakota.

That hasbeen the case with the one behindour house this year, but it has puton a fairly good show anyway thatwas mostly done by itself withoutmuch input from us. It all started last fall when wifeCorinne yearned for a gloriousspring display of tulips, daffodils,and hyacinths. She therefore or-dered a hundred or so bulbs whichwe carefully planted with lashingsof bone-meal fertilizer. This spring,then, Corinne eagerly waited forthe expected riot of color andbeauty. It didn’t happen. It was abad year for bulbs for some un-known reason, and the whole localarea was affected. We did have afew nice daffodils and one hot-pinktulip. The tulip was pleasant tolook at for a few days until a hur-ricane-strength wind camethrough and blew all its petals off.Some of the other tulips and thehyacinths came up and floweredbut they were stunted things withthe blooms barely visible and lowenough to the ground that theywere mostly hidden by leaves.They weren’t much to look at. Never mind. The big clump ofirises came through and put on anice show of purple blooms. Theylasted quite a while and were fol-lowed by some purple salvia hereand there. The best showing,though, was the larkspur whichcame next. These are actually an-nual plants instead of perennial,but they throw out so many seedsthat, if you have them one year,you’re apt to have more of themthe next. Such was the case. Wehad huge areas that came up withloads of purple, blue and whitespiky flowers. They went on a longtime and were great. Next on the garden’s agendawere hollyhocks. There was onebig clump of those plus a couple ofsmaller ones. They were mostlypink with one or two reds and pro-vided a nice display. We thoughtthey were done for the year, but re-cently they’ve thrown out a fewmore blooms, especially at the top.The bottom part of each stalk hasgone to seed enough that a hereto-fore-unidentified bird parks itselfsideways on a stock each morningand crunches the seeds. The birdhas some pinkish orange on itsbreast, some white wing bars, anda yellow beak but doesn’t quitematch any pictures in the birdbook. If the seeds hold out long

enough, we might eventually get agood enough look to figure thingsout. Grasshoppers and some dis-ease caused problems for a while,but those have now disappearedand been replaced by recurrentgrowth. We are slightly wonderingif more spikes with flowers will ap-pear before frost, but we’ll have towait and see on that. At the moment, we’ve mostlygone from hollyhocks to morningglories. These are large purpleblooms that brighten our morn-ings. They have finally grantedCorinne’s wish to have somethingpretty trail over the retaining wall.She originally wanted some specialkind of petunias for that purpose,but those were not available in anyof the local greenhouses thisspring. We did find another plantthat grows down instead of up andhas lots of small yellow or pinkblooms. Those were potted, parkedbehind the wall, and instructed togrow over and down. They refused.Every time Corinne would turnthem so a branch was headed over,they pulled those back and sentthem another direction. Maybe thewall was too hot or something. Themorning glories, though, all bythemselves started growing overand down so that three hanging-down sprigs are now in place andblooming. They are also climbingup the little lilac that neverbloomed and up some elm sprigsthat will be pulled later this fall. Also in evidence are a littlecedar tree and various other non-blooming plants of various sizesand shapes. They all add interestand have grown thanks to thewater and fertilizer Corinne hasgiven them over the summer. Sheis into nurturing things includingplants. The creeping jenny likesthe care too, but it can’t be up-rooted at present without alsopulling the morning glories. It ac-tually has pretty white flowersthat could be enjoyed more if onedidn’t know what a pest this plantcan be. So, that’s the story of the flowergarden. It definitely had a mind ofits own this year but still managedto provide beauty and interest.Who knows, maybe next year willbe even better. The bulbs are stillthere and might bloom, and otherneat stuff is apt to happen. We’lllook forward to it. The sillyflowerbed seems to know what it’sdoing. Except for pulling a fewweeds and watering, maybe weshould just keep our hands off.

Hands Off Gardening

Lookin’ Aroundby Syd Iwan

Frank Carlson didn’t win anyrodeos this week since he and hiscrew didn’t enter any. They did winat the Frontier Days Rodeo inWhite River last week howeverplus a couple of others previouslythis summer.

On Friday,there were other rodeo events inwhich Toni’s sister barrel raced in18 seconds flat, which wasn’t quitegood enough to take first but wasnear the top. Toni does barrels andbreakaway too when she isn’t ex-pecting an addition to their familyin a month or so. On Sunday, therewas more rodeo action where localChristy Willert came in second inbarrels, but her husband, Jamie,got bucked off. Other than attend-ing rodeos, Frank has been gettingin a lot of cattle work with calvesbeing given preconditioning shots.He’s also been riding a few coltsand doing some training.

They have been working ontheir tractor in preparation formoving some hay before long. Jim Addison said his nephew,Myles Addison, had a rough day onSaturday. He was checking cowsout at the place when the hot wireon the pickup battery shorted outand started a prairie fire.

crease the chances of having a safetrip and an enjoyable holidayweekend,’’ Gov. Daugaard said.“Most accidents are entirely pre-ventable if drivers make safechoices and make sure their pas-sengers do, too.’’

That means always using seat-belts, heeding speed limits, notoverdriving road conditions andnever driving after drinking.

“Those are important habitswhenever you travel,’’ the Governorsaid. “They are especially impor-tant when additional traffic will beon our highways during Labor Dayweekend.’’

Gov. Dennis Daugaard is askingmotorists to be extra careful whentraveling on Labor Day weekend.

Labor Day is the unofficial endof summer, and families oftenmake it a time for one final outingtogether, the Governor said.

Ten people were killed and 247others were injured in crashes onSouth Dakota roads during thepast five Labor Day weekends, ac-cording to the state Office of Acci-dent Records. Four of thosefatalities involved alcohol-relatedcrashes.

Governor asks travelers to stay safe

Senator John Thune (R-SD) saidthe American Farm Bureau Feder-ation report released August 21clearly shows that the Democratcontrolled Senate’s recently passedtax legislation would jeopardize thefuture of 71 percent of SouthDakota’s family farms because it in-tentionally returns the death taxexemption to $1 million next yearinstead of keeping it at the current$5 million. Over the past few years theprices of all South Dakota agricul-tural land, especially cropland, hasincreased substantially. This dra-matic price increase, along with theDemocrats’ proposal to reduce thedeath tax exemption level to $1 mil-lion, could make passing a familyfarm of only a few hundred acres tothe next generation economicallyimpossible due to death tax liabil-ity. According to data collected byAFBF, when applying 2012 farmreal estate values, farms andranches larger than 714 acreswould likely exceed the $1 millionexemption level. Crop producerswould be particularly impacted bythe lower exemption levels, asfarms larger than 431 acres of crop-land would be likely to exceed the$1 million exemption level. “This report outlines just howdevastating the Senate Democrats’death tax proposal would be toSouth Dakota farmers and ranch-ers,” said Thune. “The value ofcropland across South Dakota hasincreased by more than 23 percentover the last year. According to thedata collected by AFBF from theUnited States Department of Agri-culture’s National Agriculture Sta-tistics Service, the appreciatedvalue of cropland throughout thestate means that nearly 71 percentof South Dakota farms would ex-

ceed the $1 million exemption levelunder the Senate Democrats’ pro-posal. Since many family farm andranch assets consist of land, live-stock, equipment, and small cashreserves, this punitive tax leavesthe next generation with littlechoice but to sell family holdings topay the death tax. In March of thisyear, I introduced the Death TaxRepeal Permanency Act whichwould permanently repeal the fed-eral death tax and the generationskipping transfer tax. Repeal of thisdestructive tax is critical to keepingfamily farms and ranches intactacross South Dakota.” “Today’s report shows that theoutdated death tax would impactover half of South Dakota’s farmsand ranches if it is allowed to revertto pre-2001 levels,” said Scott Van-derWal, president of the SouthDakota Farm Bureau. “The Senateshould pass Senator Thune’s deathtax repeal bill, or at the very least,extend current levels to protectSouth Dakota’s agriculture produc-ers from this unfair tax.” On July 25, Senate Democratspassed legislation on a party linevote of 51 to 48 that would increasetaxes on small businesses and fam-ilies. Additionally, if enacted, thisbill would return the current $5million death tax exemption to $1million next year, and would raisethe tax rate from the current toprate of 35 percent to an exorbitant55 percent. Senator Thune’s legislation, theDeath Tax Repeal Permanency Act,has 37 cosponsors and is supportedby more than 50 groups and organ-izations. Representative KevinBrady (R-TX) introduced identicallegislation in the House of Repre-sentatives and the bill has morethan 200 bipartisan cosponsors.

The Kadoka Volleyball teamtraveled to Little Wound on Satur-day and came up with a nice win25-20, 25-11, 25-21. The team really looked sharp de-fensively and serving. We served68/72 which is 94%, with 12 aces;Tessa Stout having 7 of those.Mariah Pierce and Tessa Stoutcombined for 35/37 serving, 26service points, and 9 aces. Defensively, we just didn't letmuch drop on the floor and thecommunication was top-notch.Tessa Stout had 8 set assists andTaylor Merchen added 4. Offensively, we were just aver-age. We set pretty well, but strug-gled with getting kills. RavenJorgensen led the way in attack-iong with 12/13 and 6 kills. MartiHerber, Shaley Herber and KwincyFerguson added 4 kills each. Over-all is was a very solid first-gameperformance. The junior varsity lost 2-1. Westarted two freshmen and an eigthgrader so there were some nerves,but overall they played fair for thefirst time out together. Mackenzie

Word and Shelby Uhlir had a niceserving match. Scout Sudbeckplayed well offensively and hadsome nice kills for her first timeplaying in high school. AllieRomero and Destiny Dale did thesetting, and both did pretty well.Shaina Solon, an eighth grader,and Jerica Coller, a ninth grader,filled the middle front and middleback and managed themselves wellfor their first starts on the juniorvarsity. The "C" team lost 2-0. The teamis made up of mostly eigth andninth graders, so they were verynervous. They had some niceserves and serve received the ballwell at times, but the inexperienceshowed. They will definitely im-prove as the year proceeds. Next action is Tuesday atKadoka versus Takini and Oer-lichs. This is varsity only. Then wewill play in Philip on Thursday, Au-gust 30, which will include "C"team starting at 5:00 p.m. and jun-ior varsity and varsity to follow.

ball very effectively behind theblocking of Clint Stout, Herbie O’-Daniel, Gavin DeVries, Logan Am-mons and Logan Christensen. Ourbacks all had some very good runslead by Chandlier Sudbeck whocarried the ball 11 times for 111yards and 2 touchdowns, andChance Knutson who carried it 6times for 44 yards and 2 touch-downs. Our passing game waspretty effective as well. Kenar Van-derMay completed 9 of his 12passes for 155 yards and 1 touch-down. Aaron Janis was 1-3 for 45yards and 1 touchdown. Our lead-ing receivers were Chandlier Sud-beck with 2 catches for 45 yardsand 1 touchdown, Logan Chris-tensen had 1 catch for 30 yards,Chris Anderson had 1 catch for 45

yards and 1 TD, Lane Pattersonhad 2 catches for 42 yards, KlayO’Daniel had 2 catches for 23yards, and Chance Knutson 1 catchfor 12 yards.

Defensively, we did a solid job.When I look at the tackle stats forthe week everyone had very similarnumbers which meant that wewere doing a good job of team tack-ling. Edgemont was stifled by ourpressure and never were able tosustain a real good drive.

This week we play our first con-ference game as we host the NewUnderwood Tigers. New Under-wood returns a good core of theirstarters from last season and willpose as a very challenging oppo-nent. I look for it to be a very excit-ing game this week.

Edgemont Moguls – 8 Kadoka Area Kougars – 44

The 2012 football season hasbegun for the Kadoka AreaKougars and the team got off onthe right foot defeating the Edge-mont Moguls 44-8.

We set out to block, tackle andtake care of the football and we feltif we do those three things rightthat we would be able to do whatwe wanted to do; the kids came outand executed that game plan verywell. Sometimes the first game ofthe year you come out and makesome mistakes, but for the mostpart we kept the mistakes to a min-imum, only recording four penal-ties, and no turnovers.

I thought that our offensive linedid a nice job blocking. We ran the

Kougars put together strongwin against Edgemont Moguls

And in for the touchdown … Chandlier Sudbeck #21 outmoves the defense of Edgemont and takes it in for the touchdown.

Defense, a key factor … Chris Anderson #33 and Logan Chris-tensen #34 put the pressure on the offense and get the tackle, to force theturn over on downs against the Edgemont Moguls.

Defense on the move … Lane Patterson #23moves in behind the Edgemont Mogul and gets thetackle for a loss of yards.

Inservice will begin on Tuesday, August21. The board will provide lunch for staffon that day.

Mr. Hermann stated that the district wide

goal this year is to raise academics; hereported that the Dakota Step results areon the SD Department of Education web-site; the results have just become avail-able so a complete comparison reviewhas not yet been done; a different tieredgrading scale is now being reported; at-tendance in most areas was good.

PRINCIPALS’ REPORTS: Mr. Seiler re-ported that staff members have raisedconcerns on tardies. This will be ad-dressed with staff monitoring halls; stu-dents who are tardy will have to see theprincipal to be admitted to class with fol-low-up consequences for habitualtardies.

ICU will be established. This program willprovide accountability for missing assign-ments. Teachers will have assignedclasses (grade levels) and will trackthose students through their high schoolcareer with the goal of raising the bar andexpectations for students.

Mr. Seiler will be suggesting that eachclass select a community service project.The project hours and participation willbe documented and will teach the valueof giving back to the community and mayalso be used on the student’s scholarshipapplications.

Mr. Nemecek reported the need for a fulltime instructional aide in the pre-schoolclassroom. Due to the large class size,the pre-school will be split to two ses-sions (morning and afternoon). Thestaffing increase will be a one-half FTEdue to re-assignment of some staffingduties and future of the position will bebased upon the number of students.

Mr. Nemecek reported that he hopes toadopt the Power Walk Through, a re-search based program, as a strategy toincrease student achievement. The pro-gram involves a daily observation visit toeach classroom and can provide imme-diate feedback and communication to theteacher. The program is not a substitutefor teacher evaluation but as an addi-tional tool for instruction development.

Planting Winter WheatFarmers will soon be planting

winter wheat, and have a numberof issues to consider. What varietyor varieties to plant, whether touse a fungicide seed treatment,when to plant, planting into drysoil, preventing stand losses tograsshoppers, and how to avoidthe viral diseases wheat streakmosaic virus and barley yellowdwarf are only some of the thingsto think about.

2012 has been a stark reminderof the value of wheat, and particu-larly winter wheat, in croppingsystems, and should gain acres inmany areas of South Dakota.Wheat provides diversity in croprotations, time for soil moisture re-generation, increased water hold-ing capacity, improved soil healthand other benefits, while produc-ing a commodity that is valued inthe marketplace.

The SDSU “2012 Winter WheatVariety Yield Results” is currentlyavailable at: http://www.winterce-reals.us/research_variety_trial.asp, and should soon be found in the“Resource Library” onhttp://igrow.org/agronomy/wheat/.This document is eagerly antici-pated by winter wheat producerseach year to help make decisionson varieties to plant.

An important decision in the2012 planting season will be howto manage planting into dry soil.Three possible options are sug-gested, 1. Plant at the normalseeding depth (1 ½ - 2”) during thenormal, recommended plantingtime (Sept 15 – Oct 20) and hopefor rain, 2. Use a hoe drill to plantinto moisture (if possible) duringthe recommended planting dates,or 3. Wait for rain and then plant.Each of these options has their ad-vantages and risks. Be sure to con-sider the crop insuranceimplications and deadlines whenplanning your strategy.

The 2012 drought has chal-lenged the management abilitiesof South Dakota producers, andwill continue to do so. A number ofarticles and resources have re-

cently been posted tohttp://igrow.org/agronomy/wheat/that provide more detailed infor-mation on how to deal with the is-sues mentioned above. To contacta field specialist directly, visithttp://igrow.org/about/ for a com-plete listing of the staff, telephonenumbers and e-mail addresses atthe regional centers.

Fuel Your Workout Our media use and exposure toadvertising messages has beengreatly elevated in recent years.The mass media bombards us witha variety of information abouthealth, nutrition and fitness everyday. Much of the information lacksconsistency; so many active indi-viduals aren’t sure what to believe. Eating for a great workout pro-vides enough protein, water, vita-mins, minerals, carbohydrates andfat to enable the body to perform atits optimal level. Except for calo-ries and water, the nutritionalneeds are basically the same forpeople who exercise for fun andhealth, for athletes and for thosewho are less active. Do you want to know how muchof each food group you need to con-sume daily? Choose My Plate’sDaily Food Plan(http://www.choosemyplate.gov/su-pertracker- too ls /dai ly - food-plans.html) can serve as a guide toeating well for fitness and health.The amount of food we need variesdepending on our age, size, and ac-tivity level. The Daily Food plancalculates what and how much toeat within your calorie allowance. Some foods fuel your fitnessworkouts better than others. Ba-nanas and oranges are good exam-ples of foods to eat throughoutfitness training. They are potas-sium-rich foods which replacesweat loss. Bananas are also full ofcarbohydrates which fuel muscleactivity. We get carbohydrates

from grains, fruits, and vegetables;we should avoid simple sugars. Grain-based foods have manygood qualities for fitness-orientedindividuals. Grains and cereals areloaded with carbohydrates. Cere-als that are fortified provide in-creased nutrients, especially iron.Whole grain foods provide potas-sium, fiber and nutrients. Dairy foods should be eaten witheach meal. They are very goodsources of protein and calcium; theprotein builds muscle and calciumhelps maintain strong bones. For a quick and easy way toboost your protein, add a can atuna to salads or pasta. An ordi-nary (6.5 ounce) can of tuna sup-plies 40 grams of low-fat protein. To stay hydrated throughout ex-ercise, drink chilled water before,during, and after exercise. Coolfluids are absorbed quickly. Besure to drink chilled fluids at fre-quent intervals. Water acts as yourbody’s cooling system. For those in-dividuals who exercise for morethan 60 minutes in hot conditions,sports drinks provide not onlyfluid, but also carbohydrates andsodium. Strive for healthy eating prac-tices to obtain the fitness resultsyou want. Eating right can helpfuel your event or workout.

Shortages in pasture availabilityhave forced many to purchase haythis year, sometimes from otherstates or lower quality hay. Whendoing this, it is important to beaware of potential unintended con-sequences, such as introductions ofnew noxious/invasive weeds, poten-tially toxic weeds in the hay, andhay containing herbicide residuesthat could injure broadleaf crops infuture years, says Mike Moechnig,SDSU Extension Weeds Specialistand Roger Gates, SDSU RangelandExtension Specialist. "It is illegal to transport haycontaining noxious weed seeds inSouth Dakota regardless if the hayis from this or another state,"Moechnig said. "In fact, this is aClass 2 misdemeanor that could bepunishable by 30 days in prisonand/or a $500 fine." Gates adds that this law appliesto situations in which the violationconstitutes a "substantial" risk ofcontaminating fields or other land. "Avoiding known weed patchesat harvest will reduce contamina-tion. Hauling bales that are netwrapped or tarping the load willminimize the risk of excessive weedseed distribution," Gates said. The specialists say perhaps theprimary motivation to avoid weedyhay is to avoid future weed infesta-tion problems on your property. "Fortunately, weed infestationsgenerally do not explode in a singleseason so watching for noxious orinvasive species next year shouldenable effective control of new in-festations before they become acostly problem," Moechnig said."Leafy spurge, Canada thistle, andyellow toadflax are likely some ofthe most difficult weeds to controlthat may be present in grass hay soit is particularly important to bewatching for these weed speciesnext year." Moechnig says the need to hayareas normally not harvested couldalso increase the risk of havingtoxic weeds in the hay. "Perhaps the most toxic weedsare poison hemlock and waterhem-lock," Moechnig said. "Lethal dosesfor some livestock species may beonly 0.2 - 0.8 percent of their bodyweight." He adds that poison hemlockpopulations seemed to expand overthe past couple years, particularlyin northeastern South Dakota,which may be partially due togreater precipitation rates. "Hemlock species are in the car-rot plant family, so flower clustersresembling carrot flowers may bevisible in hay," Moechnig said."Whorled milkweed is anotherweed of concern, but populationsare often not very dense, particu-larly in areas with taller grass thatmay be hayed. Common weedspecies, such as kochia, lambsquar-ters, pigweeds, thistles, and otherscan also increase hay nitrate con-

centrations if present in largequantities." In addition to unknown weedseeds and plants in the hay, Gatessays unknown herbicide residuescould also cause problems. "Grass treated with herbicidessuch as picloram (Tordon, Grazon),aminopyralid (Milestone/Fore-Front), or clopyralid (Curtail,Stinger) could still contain residuesof these herbicides that will quicklypass through livestock and can re-main in their manure," Gates said."Spreading this manure or feedingbales on fields that may be plantedto broadleaf crops next year couldresult in severe crop injury. Theseresidues could persist in the soil for2 - 3 years. Therefore, it is impor-tant to keep manure in pastures ifit is not known exactly what herbi-cides were applied to the hayfield." Pictures of noxious weeds andcontrol recommendations may befound on iGrow.org and on iPhoneand Android cell phones apps pro-vided by SDSU. Infestation riskmay also be minimized by carefulmanagement of hay feeding areas.Drought conditions reduce thevigor of pasture vegetation increas-ing bare ground and enhancingsuccessful weed germination andestablishment. Feeding importedhay in a restricted area or even incorrals may contain the area thatneeds to be carefully monitored thefollowing spring. Concerns of weeds and herbicideresidues do not have to be limitingfactors when purchasing hay. Prop-erly responding to risks of newweed infestations or contaminatedmanure can enable people to avoidgreater and more costly problemsin the future. To learn more visitiGrow.org.

Due to the drought, nitrate toxi-city is an issue this growing season.Before cutting silage or feeding for-ages to livestock, test for nitrates. SDSU Extension offers a nitratequick test for standing forage. In-terested parties can take foragesamples to the following ExtensionRegional Centers; Lemmon,605.374.4177, Rapid City,605.394.1722, and Winner,605.842.1267; and the followingcounty offices; Charles Mix CountyOffice, Clark County Office, Dou-glas County Office, Hamlin CountyOffice, or Pennington County Of-fice. Please call before you takesamples to be tested to ensure thatthe individual who is trained to dothe testing is available. Nitrate quick test is an indicatorof presence or absence of nitrate inforages. If present, producers cansend the sample in for a quantita-tive analysis or wait for plants tocontinue to mature/grow. Trained personnel are only al-lowed to do the testing. If you haveany questions on nitrate testing,contact your local SDSU ExtensionRegional Center. For informationon how to evaluate nitrate tests orother drought resources, visitiGrow.org/drought.
