SDSU Extension and partners offer grazing planning opportunitiesCompared with agronomy and

cropping sciences, grazing andgrassland production generallyrequire less economic input.Because of this, there can be themisconception that grazing man-agement is an enterprise thatrequires less forethought andmanagement, explained Pete Bau-man, SDSU Extension RangeField Specialist.

"This assumption was chal-lenged over the past year as pro-ducers managing grazing landwere required to respond to adrought that still lingers in thesouthwest portion of the state," hesaid.

He added that those producerswho were caught off guard wereforced to make adjustments theymay not have been prepared for,

such as drastic reductions in herdnumbers.

"Those that had a sound man-agement plan may also have hadto de-stock, but their decisionswere based on certain indicatorsand triggers that were pre-deter-mined by their management plan,"Bauman said.

What producers learned

from Managing Drought Riskon the Ranch webinarsSDSU Extension encourages

producers to incorporate improvedplanning into grazing systemsmanagement. To aid them in theirefforts, earlier this year SDSUExtension, in cooperation with theNational Drought Mitigation Cen-ter, hosted the Managing DroughtRisk on the Ranch webinar series

to South Dakota producers at ourSDSU Extension Regional Centersthroughout the state.

During these sessions, produc-ers were exposed to severaldrought tools and planningresources that are still easilyaccessible to all. Drought andranch planning resources are list-ed below:

Whs Bhind Or Mor Dcin?b Psor Cornis R. Sm

One does not have to be a prude to conclude that our country is suffering a serious moral decline. Our rulers and law enforcement agencies seem pow-

erless to cope with it. Campaigns to check it seem vain. J. Edgar Hoover of the FBI w arned us again and again that the alarming rate of this downward trend

would spell ruin for America if not checked soon. But what most people fail to realize is that behind this moral decline there is a spiritual decline. America

has departed from God and His Word.

Pauls letter to the Romans tells us how the heathen got that way. Rom. 1:21,22 says: When they knew God they glorified Him not as God, neither were

thankful, but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise they became fools, and the verses

that follow tell how God finally had to give them up to uncleanness and vile affectionsall because they did not like [wish] to retain God in their

knowledge (Ver. 28).

St. Paul further describes them in Eph. 4:17-19, as walking in the vanity of their mind, having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life

of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart; who being past feeling [conscience] have given themselves over to las-

civiousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness. This, sad to say, is an accurate description of increasing numbers in America today. They are throw-

ing off restraint and going after uncleanness with greediness.

But this is not liberty, it is enslavement. It is not a sign of strength, but of weakness. It does not indicate superior intelligence, but grossest ignorance, and

is the result of alienation from God.

How much better off are those who have come to know God through Christ! Of these the Apostle says:

And you, who were once alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath He reconciled, in the body of His flesh, through death, to

present you holy and unblameable and unreprovable in His sight (Col. 1:21,22).

A full obituary will follow innext weeks paper.

I believe in God the FatherAlmighty, Maker of heaven andearth.

Some parents ask God to givethem children. Then long beforetheir children are born, theythink of their children as Godschildren. When the children areborn, they pray that God mayhave first place in the children'slives. These parents have theirchildren baptized soon after theyare born to make them Gods chil-dren.

These children learn to put Godfirst in their lives. This meansthat their strength is used forGod first. Their talents are usedfor God. They give of their time toGod.

Why should we put God first?Because God has created us andall things. We owe our life toHim.

There is a verse in the Biblethat puts God first. It is the veryfirst verse in the Bible. It begins,In the beginning God. That is awonderful way for the Bible tostart. In the beginning God.God first. God in the very firstverse of the first chapter of thefirst book of the Bible.

In the beginning God meansthat God has always been. Godhas all power. He is almighty.

In the beginning God createdthe heavens and the earth, andall that is in them.

Now that we have refreshedour memories on this, how comewe do not see more people inchurch on Sundays. Yes, I knowthat summer is here and peopleget really busy. But where is Godin our lives then?

If we want our children to keepGod first in our lives, our wekeeping God first in our own life?For me I now have four services aweekend instead of three. And fora couple of weeks I will bepreaching four times on Sunday,in four different towns and a Sat-urday evening service, besides.

And, no, I am not complaining. Ilove sharing the Word of theLORD.

Things get busy for me as wellon Sunday. What a joy it is toshare the Word of God and seeingHis children in His Church hear-ing His Word.

We pray. We praise You,Almighty God, our Father inheaven, for creating this beauti-ful world. We thank You for Yourmany kindnesses to us. Forgiveus because we have so often for-got to thank and praise You. Helpus always to keep You first in ourhearts and our lives. in Jesusname we pray. Amen.

Low test weight wheat

Although many wheat fields

appear to be a week or more away

from harvest maturity, those in

particularly dry areas are pro-

gressing quickly. A few fields in

south-central South Dakota have

already reached maturity, but as

they began to harvest the crop,

some producers have learned thatthe test weight was very low. One

field produced wheat that weighed

47 lbs. /Bu. As test weights drop

below 60 lbs. /Bu, discounts begin

to mount. The lowest test weight

that wheat can be marketed at

grain elevators is 50 lbs. /Bu., with

discounts in the neighborhood of

$0.70/Bu at that level.

There are several potential rea-

sons for wheat being low in test

weight, including drought, root

and crown rots, viral diseases, fun-

gal or bacterial foliar diseases,

scab, etc. It is difficult to deter-

mine the test weight of a wheat

crop until it is mature and har-

vested, but the presence of a sub-

stantial percentage of shriveled

kernels should raise a red flag.

If wheat is low in test weight,

one strategy may be to open the

sieves on the combine and turn upthe wind in hopes of blowing some

of the lighter, shriveled kernels

out the back. Wheat that is

already harvested and found to be

light might also be cleaned aggres-

sively in an attempt to gain test

weight. If the majority of the ker-

nels are lighter and shriveled, the

potential of gaining much test

weight by is likely to be l imited. If

using either of these strategies,

producers would need to compare

the benefit of gaining test weight

against the yield loss due to blow-

ing the light seeds out the back of

the combine or aggressive clean-

ing.

The remaining options are to

harvest the wheat to sell as feed

wheat at a significant discount, or

harvest as hay. Unfortunately,

crop insurance may not offer sub-

stantial coverage for wheat that is

low in test weight. The adjustment

for light wheat doesnt reach sig-

nificant levels until the bushel

weight drops into the low 40 lb.

/Bu range. If producers suspectthey may have wheat that is low in

test weight, they should contact

their crop insurance agent to eval-

uate their options before cutting

for hay or harvesting the crop as

grain.

Pesticide container recycling

collections

Dakota Department of Agricul-

ture (SDDA) will again conduct

collections of pesticide containers

in a number of locations across the

state. The program collects and

recycles agricultural, home and

garden pesticide containers. The

planned dates for each location are

listed on igrow.org at:

http://igrow.org/up/articles/P6028-

2013.pdf (all times are local). The

containers collected must be made

from high density polyethylene(HDPE) embossed with recycling

symbol #2. Containers must be

empty and triple-rinsed to be recy-

cled. Caps and other non-HDPE

parts such as metal handles and

rubber linings cannot be recycled

and can be disposed of as regular

waste. It is recommended to

remove labels from the containers

before recycling

on really nasty stuff for a few days

before turning into pupae and

then adults. The whole process is

apt to take less than two weeks. In

other words, if the eggs from one

female produce a hundred more

females in two weeks, and those

hundred each produce a hundred

more, you soon have a major sur-

plus. Thats about where were at

here in mid-July. Only frost or

cooler weather can probably save

us.

This comes from someone who

has recently tried other control

measures. Fly swatters are effec-

tive in the short term, and it is

sort of like a computer game--see

how many bugs you can swat in

five minutes. Wife Corinne and I

were on the deck having a go at it

together a few days ago, and I bet

we killed over fifty flies in ten min-

utesmaybe a hundred. It was

rather fun.

In a search for less time-consum-

ing control measures, I then went

out and bought a fly trap. This is

a dome-shaped hard-plastic con-

traption which has a funnel-type

thing leading up into it from the

bottom. You pour some water andsmelly liquid bait into that funnel

and then turn it right side up. The

flies come to the bait, crawl up into

the dome through the funnel, and

are apparently way too stupid to

find their way back out. Eventual-

ly they drown in the water. This is

all well and good except for the

fact that the bait is so strong that

it attracts flies from quite a dis-

tance. In fact, it attracts way more

extra flies than it traps. If you

position it anywhere close to

where you want to be, you are

worse off than you were before. It

might help if you put it way out

somewhere so the flies go to it

from the area where you are. It

definitely does not work to put it

close to you.

There are poisons, of course, but

Im not a big fan of insecticides

and such. They make me nervous.

I dont like being around anything

that kills things that live and

breathe like I do. Im not even

overly fond of herbicides even

though Im not a plant. Anything

very toxic might not be good for me

either, or so it seems to me.

As a result, I guess its back to

flyswatters. It does give you a

small feeling of power and useful-

ness to be able to swat lots of flies

and hornets and rid the world of

their presence. Im aware they do

have some purpose in nature

which is fine except that I prefer

them quite a ways over there

doing what theyre supposed to do

and not right next to me.

One good thing about flies is that

they seldom bite except, of course,

when theyre trying to tell you its

going to rain. My mother, anyway,

said that flies only bite when its

going to rain. There seems to besome truth to that although I

wouldnt care to try to prove it. Oh,

yes. Another good thing is that the

life span of adult flies is rather

shortonly a week or two.

In the meanwhile, I guess I can

stay indoors more and wait for

frost. I can also sit on the deck

mostly after dark when the flies

are asleep. Thats a good time to be

out anyway since its cool and you

can watch the stars. As you can

see, I have no real answer to the

fly problem. If you have a good

one, be sure to let me know. Im a

bit tired of flies.

There is no shortage of flies at

the moment. They are probably

not in any danger of being added

to the endangered-species list. On

the other hand, they tried to put

prairie dogs on that list a while

ago, and those troublesome

rodents are basically as endan-

gered as flies, so who knows.

Right now, though, sitting on the

deck during daylight hours is not

completely pleasant. Black flying

insects will see you sitting there

and decide to visit in droves. They

will land on any part of your

anatomy but are partial to skin.

You almost feel like they could

carry you away if they got really

well organized.

I am particularly displeased

when Im trying to sip my coffee on

the deck and have to hold the cup

by its handle with one hand and

protect the rim with the other.

Flies love to land on the lip of your

coffee cup for some odd reason,

and this is not good. You dont

know where those little feet have

been, but you strongly suspect it

wasnt anywhere clean. Their

owners have a predilection for

manure and anything rotten sothere you are. I dont want fly feet

on the rim of my coffee cup. Oddly

enough, you can drink diet pop

without worry since it has

absolutely no food value and is

scorned by the insect population.

They wont give it a bit of atten-

tion.

It is no wonder we sometimes get

inundated with flies since they can

reproduce themselves so quickly. A

female can lay four to six-hundred

eggs within a short time, and they

can hatch within a day. Then the

larvae or maggots munch around

An update on Aspirin

Aspirin is probably the mostvenerated and commonly usedmedication in the history of phar-macology. There are references

going back to the Egyptian civi-lization 2,500 years ago. TheEgyptians obviously did not knowthe word aspirin but they didknow that extract of willow bark,which is a natural source ofaspirin, lowered fevers and easedpain. In more modern times, thebeneficial affect of aspirin for thetreatment of fever and arthritisdates at least as far back as 1820.By 1899 the BAYER pharmaceuti-cal company in Germany investi-gated and patented the use ofacetylsalicylic acid and they gaveit the name aspirin. That namehas stuck to the present timealthough the formal chemicalname is acetylsalicylic acid.

Initially the drug was used totreat fever for which Tylenol isnow the drug of choice. It was alsoused as an arthritic medication,but there are now many medica-

tions more effective than aspirinfor most people. As early as 1932,a doctor in Alabama noted thatpatients that he cared for who tookaspirin for other reasons hadfewer heart attacks than thosewho did not. He advocated starting

a person on aspirin as a preventivefor heart attacks. At that time, theheart attack epidemic that wehave now was not as wide spreadand the practice and referenceswere lost.

Soon after aspirin came on themarket, it was noted that it doescause gastric irritation in someindividuals. Indeed the protectivecoating that the stomach uses toprevent digesting itself is inhibit-ed by aspirin and thereby allowsgastric ulcers to occur. Excessiveuse of aspirin has caused mortali-ties from bleeding ulcers. In 1950,a family physician in Californiahad directed his patients who weregoing to have a tonsillectomy tochew Aspergum postoperatively tohelp the pain problem. He foundthat an usual number of patientshad to be hospitalized for severebleeding where upon he reversedthis suggestion for tonsillectomypatients. But some good oftencomes from mistakes; he then sug-gested that the drug be used toprevent thrombosis in people whowere having heart attacks. Again,

his studies were not taken serious-ly and the idea was not againrevived until the 1960s.

By 1971, Dr John Vane workingin England discovered the basicmechanism of aspirins effect. Toput chemical names on the

process, there is an enzyme inmultiple tissues throughout thebody. This enzyme is calledcyclooxygenase and it is activatedto produce an internal chemicalcalled prostaglandin. Aspirin pre-

vents this reaction and therebyprevents normal blood clotting.Now the idea of using aspirin toprevent heart attacks and strokeshad a scientific basis. Over thepast 40 years, aspirin has beentested in a variety of clinical situa-tions but claims of effectivenessvary substantially.

In the last two months, therehave been two primary researcharticles and a major reviewregarding the use of aspirin: Thefirst consideration is whetheraspirin serves a purpose as a pri-mary preventive. By this, wemean, Does aspirin prevent thedevelopment of heart attacks andstrokes in people who have no evi-dence of such to begin with? Thebest answer available at this timeis that daily aspirin use preventsheart attacks in men even thoughthey have no evidence of heart

problems at the time the aspirin isstarted. Surprisingly, in womenthis effect is not seen, but aspirinin women does prevent the devel-opment of strokes. Why this differ-ence between men and women isunknown.

In regard to what is called sec-ondary prevention, the questionasked is, Does aspirin prevent arecurrence of heart attack orstroke if the person has alreadyhad one? The answer in both sit-uations is that aspirin started in aperson who has already had astroke or heart attack doesdecrease the recurrence of same inthe future in both men andwomen.

Recently, the use of aspirin indiabetes has been investigatedfurther. Surprisingly, it does tendto lower blood sugars by anunknown mechanism in diabetics.Disappointedly, aspirin used toprevent heart attacks and strokesin diabetes seems to have littleimpact. It appears that the gener-alized vascular disease that occurs

in diabetics is not significantlytreated by aspirin alone.

The question of the dose ofaspirin to use continues to rage. Adose of 81 milligrams is the babyaspirin. Many studies have dou-

bled that to 162 milligrams. Thestandard five grain aspirin tabletfor adults is 325 milligrams. Mostof the large studies on aspirin useadvocate the 81 milligram or babyaspirin dose. They cite anincreased risk of bleeding thatmay occur with higher doses.Speaking for myself, I amimpressed by the informationshowing that 20 percent of ourgeneral population is not effective-ly treated by the 81 milligram doseof aspirin. These are individualswho metabolize the aspirin veryquickly and it is not around longenough to have a beneficial effect.Granting that there may be slight-ly more bleeding risk using a fivegrain aspirin tablet daily, I thinkthat a little gastric irrigation orslight bleeding occasionally is afair trade for preventing a dreadedstroke or fatal heart attack. I rec-

ommend using the five grainaspirin tablet for those that cantolerate it. For those that havegastric irritation making it unac-ceptable, the 81 milligram tabletwould be the appropriate choice.

Additiona l studies in otherareas have shown that aspirin isan effective preventive for recur-rent deep vein thrombosis in thelegs. Many individuals developblood clots in their legs and areplaced on Coumadin for six to 12months. There is a 10-20 percentlikelihood of recurrence of the deepvein thrombosis if the anticoagula-tion program with Coumadin isstopped. Aspirin substantiallyreduces that risk at the standardfive grain dose.

Research on Aspirin continuesbut I think that it is adequatelydemonstrated at this point that itis an effective treatment for pri-mary prevention of heart attack inmen and prevention of stroke inwomen. It is effective in both menand women as a preventive forrecurrence of stroke or heart attack.
