Inspiration Point 

Led by the Shepherd 

Read Psalm 34:9-10 

As our Good Shepherd, the Lord fills many roles. Yesterday, 

we saw Him as a pardoning shepherd. He is also 

a providing shepherd—He knows our necessities before 

we even ask for help, and He delights in meeting those needs (Matt. 7:9-11). In practical terms, that means 

He knows what we need physically, emotionally, and spiritually. And He is already at work, achieving and 

providing things that we may not even have thought of as yet. 

Not only does God provide for us; He’s also a protecting shepherd, who defends us from attack. In verse 4 

of Psalm 23, notice what comforts the writer—the Lord’s rod and staff. Ancient shepherds used these two 

implements to defend their sheep from vicious animals seeking a quick meal. God goes ahead of us, clearing 

our path of the Enemy’s snares. 

It is important to note, though, what Psalm 23 does not say. As much as we might want to avoid hard 

times, this passage doesn’t tell us that God will lead us around the “valley of the shadow of death.” Rather, 

He leads us through it (v. 4). This means that God’s plan often requires us to walk through painful circumstances, 

facing those shadows and dark places in our lives. However, in the midst of the rough journey, we 

can remain confident by keeping our eyes on the Shepherd, who leads us safely home. 

Have you experienced the Lord’s provision, only to fall into subsequent doubt and fear because of loss or 

hardship? He has not left you. God remains your Good Shepherd, leading you through the darkness and into 

the light, where He is.

men” Colossians 3:23. They enjoyed listening to stories, playing games, learning new songs and making crafts. On Thursday, 

the group visited the nursing home and performed their new songs for the residents and they also performed the songs at 

the community church service on Sunday under the tent on Main Street.

Belvidere & Norris News … June 27, 2013 • Kadoka Press • Page 3 

“He that rises late must trot all 

day long.” Pennywise 

Thursday morning Heather, 

Morgan and Samantha Taft were 

among those helping the Bligh’s 

move cattle. Ed Ferguson and Wesley 

Schmidt also helped. Thursday 

afternoon Susan, Samantha and 

Morgan headed for Rapid City to 

help Samantha look for an apartment. 

Dan was busy down at 

Howard Heinert’s helping butcher 

a buffalo that had broken a leg. Friday 

Dan kept his usual physical 

therapy appointment in Martin. 

Saturday Susan, Samantha and 

Morgan attended an auction in 

Winner. 

Sharon Sumners and her 

mother, Leona Schmidt, visited at 

the Dan and Lori Schmidt home 

Tuesday and had supper with 

them. Saturday Brandi and boys 

were out visiting and the Schmidt’s 

also moved cattle that day. 

Last Sunday evening, Evan and 

Dorothy Bligh took Maxine Allard 

to Martin for the viewing and 

prayer service for Hazel O’Bryan. 

Maxine’s brother, Lyle, came to 

pick up her up Monday morning 

and take her to the funeral in Martin. 

Maxine’s sisters, Betty and 

Helen, and brother, Tom, also made 

it to the funeral. Sharon Allard 

came from Spearfish to attend the 

funeral and visit with the family at 

Dean’s home afterward and then 

returned to Spearfish. Lyle brought 

Maxine home that evening. 

Thursday Maxine had an unusual 

visitor. She had propped the 

doors open to get some fresh air 

into the house while she was working 

outside in the garden, and later 

as she was back in and working on 

some papers while sitting on the 

sofa, she felt something moving 

near her on the sofa; looking 

around she spotted the tail of a bull 

snake, picked it up by that tail, 

lifted it up and carried it outside 

and set it free. It apparently didn’t 

mind going back outside, as it gave 

her no resistance. 

Saturday Evan Bligh mowed at 

Maxine’s place. Sunday evening 

June Ring was a supper guest. 

On Thursday Linda Ring took a 

day off and Jeremy and Tyler accompanied 

her to White River 

where they had lunch. Then they 

continued on to Murdo for Jeremy 

to keep his appointment with the 

orthodontist there. 

Wednesday Torey rode with 

Rueben and Bruce Ring to Gordon 

to attend the combine clinic there. 

Thursday the Ring’s put the bulls 

out and moved cattle around. 

June 12, Steve Nichols and his 

son of Lincoln, Missouri, Steve’s 

brother, Chuck, and a friend, Joe 

Kruchowski, and son-in-law, Jarrod, 

came from Missouri to get in 

some prairie dog hunting. They arrived 

at the Bruce Ring home and 

helped with mowing while Jessie 

fixed a meal for them. They got in 

some good hunting and returned 

home to Missouri that weekend. 

On Father’s Day, Jessie picked 

up the children’s parents, Reno and 

Lisa, and with their children they 

went to White River to visit Reno’s 

mother. It just so happened that 

Jessie’s son-in-law, Jeromy 

Sweeney, was trucking in the area 

and met them in White River, so 

they had a visit with him, too, that 

day. 

Last Monday morning Jessie 

Ring took Reno, Riley and Risa to 

Rosebud to stay for a few days, 

then returned home to pick up 

Stephanie, Ryan and Reina and 

head for Pierre. Ryan and Reina 

went to Bible Camp, and Jessie 

and Stephanie continued on to 

Iowa, to visit her family in Cresco. 

Bruce meantime headed for 

Rapid City to meet June’s plane as 

she returned from Texas. Ordinarily 

the flight is a straight shot from 

Dallas to Rapid City, but due to a 

weather delay before takeoff in 

Dallas, and then a detour to Denver 

because of turbulent weather at 

Rapid City, the plane finally landed 

in Rapid City at seven in the 

evening, instead of the usual 2:00 

p.m. All of which gave Bruce extra 

time to run more errands, including 

buying four apple trees, which 

are now planted in their yard. 

Stephanie stayed in Iowa, but 

Jessie returned home Wednesday, 

retrieved Reno, Riley and Risa on 

Thursday, and picked up the Ryan 

and Reina from Bible camp on Friday. 

June Ring was a luncheon 

guest on Saturday. 

June Ring kept a dental appointment 

in Valentine on Tuesday. 

Wednesday Jan Ring accompanied 

her to Rapid City, where June had 

her check-up with the eye doctor 

and later in the afternoon with her 

back doctor. 

The Mellette County Cattlewomen 

met at the museum in 

White River Friday. Jan Endes was 

hostess, but all members made special 

beef dishes to taste, and others 

were invited to come. The storm 

that moved through that morning 

kept some of the members at home, 

but a special guest did stop in during 

the meeting. Jim Spencer and 

wife came to see the museum. Jim 

had been here before and Rose gave 

Norris News 

June Ring • 462-6328 

him a thorough tour; this time he 

brought his wife to show her 

around. Jim is with the Historical 

Preservation Society in Ft. Pierre. 

Other members present were 

Donna Adrian, Jean Kary, Rose 

West and June Ring. Karla Heyduck 

also joined us for the meeting. 

Jan Rasmussen’s grandchildren, 

Kate Rasmussen and Patrick 

Lehman, plus Patrick’s cousin, 

Alyssa, visited Jan Wednesday, and 

then did some chores around the 

place for her that were both inside 

and outside. Jan goes twice a week 

to Philip for physical therapy. The 

storm on Friday left behind a few 

hailstones and 1.40 inches of rain. 

Blake and Amy Lehman were in 

Lincoln, Nebraska, last week to 

watch Jason and teammates race 

their car. 80 colleges participated 

in the competition. Blake and Amy 

returned home Saturday night. 

Cliff and Pam Allard’s friend, 

Todd Haberman, lost his repair 

shop when a tornado hit and destroyed 

it. Pam says it is another 

family to add to the prayer list of 

her friends and family. 

Alberta Allard is here helping 

with haying. 

The Bligh’s have been moving 

cattle home, some on Monday and 

more on Thursday. Wednesday afternoon 

Evan and Dorothy went to 

Valentine on business. Dorothy 

went to physical therapy twice last 

week in Martin. 

Gary and Anne Heinert were in 

Sioux Falls over Father’s Day 

spending time with their children 

and that new grandson. 

Cliff and Elaine Krogman met 

Cliff’s sister, Marilyn Kent, on 

June 4 when she flew in from California. 

They came to the ranch on 

the 5th. Marilyn went to visit Sis 

McKee on the 16th, and then flew 

back to California on the 21st. 

Noreen Krogman went to DNP 

quilting in Mission on the 9th. 

Richard and Noreen were among 

those celebrating Doris Vos’ 90th 

birthday with her on the 16th. 

Richard went in to help with 

church cleanup on the 22nd. Then 

Richard and Noreen attended Mass 

at 4:30 and the picnic in the hall 

following the service. 

The Krogman’s have been busy 

haying whenever the weather allows. 

Noreen reports 1.32 inches of 

rain so far in June. 

Jim and Marjorie Letellier and 

JaLynn Burma left Monday morning 

to attend the funeral of Karen 

Delbridge in Sturgis. When they 

returned home later in the day, 

they were amazed at how quickly 

the Blackpipe community had 

cleaned up after the big fast pitch 

softball tournament that had gone 

on over the weekend and lasted 

late into the evening Sunday. 

Jason, JaLynn and Jace Burma 

were among those running in the 

5K benefit for the nursing home 

Saturday in Kadoka. Jace placed 

1st in the 13-19 age division and 

also was first ahead of the men in 

the race. Way to go, Beaver! Jakki, 

Jimmy and Jade took part in the 

sack races that day. The Burma’s 

went to Sunshine last Tuesday. 

Jean Kary accompanied Edna to 

Valentine Thursday, and Friday 

rode with June Ring to the Cattlewomen’s 

meeting in White River. 

Wednesday afternoon, June 12, 

the Howard Heinert’s got their 

branding done. On the 14th, 

Howard, Nette Chris and Beau 

were among those helping the 

Kary’s brand. 

This past Tuesday, Nette Heinert 

served on the school election 

board in Parmelee. Wednesday 

there was a fire department meeting, 

and after the meeting, Chris 

and Dawn Letellier, Wes Schmidt 

and Stanley Heinert came to 

Howard’s to help Howard celebrate 

his birthday. Friday Chris and 

Beau Heinert were in Winner on 

business, and Saturday Howard 

and Nette had to go to Valentine for 

repairs for their pump. 

Pastor Denke visited the Dennis 

Keyes family last Sunday afternoon. 

He went on to Pierre on Monday 

for some business there. Friday 

he had to return to Pierre, and 

after conducting his business, he 

headed for Rapid City to visit his 

sister, Aileen. Saturday they attended 

the Eisenbraun family reunion, 

which was held at the hall 

in Creighton. There were a great 

many in attendance there. 

Robert and Sharon Ring were 

among those attending the school 

reunions in Kadoka Saturday. It 

was Robert’s 60th year class reunion. 

Of the ten members still living, 

there were 7 of them there. 

They met at the school in the afternoon 

and enjoyed the tour of the facilities. 

Then many of them went to 

Philip for supper that evening. 

Ed and Carol Ferguson spent a 

long Father's Day weekend at their 

cabin in the Black Hills. Daughter 

Cora, Scott and Moya Brickman 

brought their tent and stayed also. 

Jes was there also for the day on 

Saturday. Carol worked at the post 

office in Wanblee Wednesday and 

Saturday, and in Belvidere on 

Thursday and Friday of this week. 

Ed helped move cattle at Bligh's on 

Thursday.

Jim Mansfield was able to return 

home on Saturday after suffering 

a heart attack late last 

Saturday and being hospitalized 

first in Le Mars, Iowa, and then in 

Sioux City. They installed three 

stents right away last Sunday and 

another on Wednesday via a blood 

vessel in his wrist. Although there 

was some heart damage, they told 

Jim he could go back to doing what 

he normally does. His body will tell 

him what he can and cannot do. 

Fayola said the cardiac division of 

the Sioux City hospital is rated 

about third in the nation and is 

very good. If you’re going to have a 

heart problem, Iowa is apparently 

the place to have it. After being released 

from the hospital on Thursday, 

Jim and Fayola stayed with 

Jim’s brother near Le Mars until 

coming home on Saturday. Jim’s 

brother drove them to Mitchell 

where Michelle Mansfield picked 

them up and brought them home. 

Aaron, Michelle, and Tyrel had 

been in Iowa at the same family reunion 

as Jim and Fayola, but they 

had returned home earlier in the 

week. Although Jim isn’t running 

any foot races just yet, he is doing 

okay and recovering well. Fayola 

said they have very much appreciated 

the prayers sent up for Jim 

and the concern people have 

shown. 

Frank Carlson participated in 

the ranch rodeo at Kadoka this 

weekend in company with Lex 

Grooms and Tyler and Michael 

Jones. Unfortunately, Frank said 

they “did no good” and were beaten 

out by the group from Gordon Livestock 

that won the same event last 

year. Frank said Toni was in 

Kadoka as well to celebrate her 

high school tenth reunion. The 

family also took in the street dance 

and other events. In addition to the 

rodeo participation, Frank has 

been busy lately with AI (artificial 

insemination of cows.) 

Rick and Ronda Dennis had a 

busy weekend since they had taken 

in all the activities in Kadoka this 

weekend, including the ranch 

rodeo and dances. It was the 40th 

anniversary of their high school 

graduation so their class had activities 

planned. The Belvidere class 

members include Rick and Ronda, 

Tom DeVries, and Larry Johnston. 

A gathering of the classmates was 

held on Friday night at Club 27 

and Saturday evening with a 

potluck at home of Laure Hildebrand 

and Rusty Olney. Fourteen 

classmates were in attendance. 

Their daughter, Bobbi, was home 

for the weekend with her friend, 

Ben. They came from Denver on 

Thursday and returned there on 

Sunday. After a full weekend, it 

was back to work for everyone on 

Monday. 

Delores Bonenberger took in the 

ranch rodeo in Kadoka on Saturday. 

Brett Bonenberger had 

brought along a trailer that he put 

a cover over so everyone could have 

sort of a tailgate party. Brett has 

dual citizenship at Kadoka and 

Belvidere so often gets called on for 

help in both places. He was assigned 

gate duty at the rodeo. 

Keith, Pam, and Kade Bonenberger 

were also on hand as were 

Brett’s family members, Nikki, 

MaKaylan and McCoy. Delores said 

Nikki had her hands full keeping 

track of McCoy since he tends to be 

a busy boy. She also said the arena 

was so muddy that you couldn’t always 

tell who was who. Mud even 

tended to splash around and get on 

people or vehicles that were too 

close. On Sunday, Delores attended 

the church service held in the tent 

on Main Street. Gus Craven was 

the preacher, and there was special 

music. Grandkids MaKaylan and 

McCoy also took part with songs 

and verses they had learned at four 

days of Bible school held last week. 

It was a nice event. 

Dale Nemec arrived this week 

from Belle Fourche to help his 

grandparents, Larry and Joy 

Dolezal, this summer with haying 

and such. So far, it has been too wet 

to do much haying, so Dale has 

helped with other projects such as 

roofing and dealing with the “forest” 

in Joy’s yard. Joy said this is 

fortunate so it won’t look so bad in 

comparison to Kirby Schofield’s 

yard and flowers next door. 

Kenny and Roxie Fox attended 

the wedding of their niece last 

weekend in Belle Fourche. They 

also had kind of a family reunion in 

connection with that event. Roxie 

said it looks promising that there 

will be plenty of wild plums this 

year thanks to a lack of late frosts 

and the good moisture. Lots of 

plums are growing on the tree near 

their house which often has plums 

even when others don’t do to late 

frost. They are in a protected area 

by the house and close enough to a 

wall that retains heat. 

Terri and Steve Kezar were in 

the area this weekend from their 

home south on the Nebraska and 

Wyoming border. They came to do 

some business and combined it 

with attendance at the reunion and 

other activities in Kadoka on Friday 

and Saturday. Steve got to visit 

with his brother, Mike, who was 

here from Texas for the reunion. 

Terri said June 24 would mark ten 

years since her first husband, Don 

Clay Word, had passed away. She 

also said her son, Clayton Word, is 

currently stationed in Alaska in the 

Military. He’s doing okay there but 

having a little trouble adjusting to 

all the hours of sunshine they have 

right now in that far-north state. 

Terri was a little envious of the 

lush green around here since there 

corner of the country has had trouble 

getting much moisture so far 

this year. 

Perry Compton is being visited 

for a few days at the ranch by his 

mom, Mary, of Pierre. He said she 

came in part to check on his gardening 

activities along with just to 

keep in touch. Perry said he has 

been working for the county lately 

in mowing on four days a week. 

The mowing on Friday didn’t work 

out, though, since a huge cloud 

with hail was coming on fast when 

they went southwest of Wanblee to 

mow. They decided it would be advisable 

to turn and go back instead 

of weathering the storm in the middle 

of nowhere.

BELVIDERE BAR 

We spent three days of last 

week vacationing in the penthouse 

(10th floor) of the Rapid City hospital. 

Son Chance rather enjoyed 

himself. His mother and I not so 

much. This all was occasioned by 

Chance starting to bleed rather 

profusely from around his stomach 

tube late Sunday evening. After 

turning several paper towels red, 

we got a little spooked and decided 

to bundle our boy up and take him 

to the local emergency room. 

There weren’t many sophisticated 

scanning devices locally to 

find out exactly was going on, so 

Dr. H recommended an ambulance 

ride eighty miles father west to an 

associated larger facility. As a result, 

Chance and Corinne were on 

their way before very long. I 

gassed up the car, gathered a few 

supplies, and followed on behind. 

By about sunrise, we were at the 

big hospital in the “admit” (admittance) 

department. An hour or two 

after that found us ensconced in a 

room on the tenth floor. Then nothing 

much happened until a doctor 

wandered in mid-afternoon. Fortunately, 

the bleeding had mostly 

stopped except for a short outburst 

when Chance stood up in moving 

from the ambulance cart to a bed. 

Since we hadn’t had much 

sleep, we checked into a motel 

where Corinne took a nap and I 

waited in Chance’s room for some 

action. As I said, not much happened 

since the doctor just set up 

some scans and things for the next 

day and not right away. This was 

when I found out how uncomfortable 

hospital chairs can be. They 

had a reclining chair that was one 

of the most hopeless things I have 

ever had the misfortune to use. For 

one thing, it had such a strong 

spring that, if you pushed it back 

into the reclining position, it 

snapped you right back upright. If 

I scooted as far back as possible so 

most of my weight was on the 

back, then it might stay that way 

unless I moved. Secondly, the arms 

of the thing had wooden tops so 

they put your arms right to sleep 

if you used them. My arms had to 

be kept by my sides with my hands 

in my lap. Nevertheless, I was 

tired enough to doze off from time 

to time until Corinne returned 

from the motel. 

The rest of the day was spent 

waiting around, going out to eat, 

buying a few supplies and the like. 

Corinne and I took turns resting at 

the motel or keeping guard at the 

room. We find that one of us has to 

be with Chance when he’s in a hospital 

or they try to administer 

something to which he is allergic 

or doesn’t tolerate well. Sometimes, 

too, they need advice on 

how to deal with our guy. 

They finally got to a scan with

by Syd Iwan

card shower in her honor. 

dyes on Tuesday afternoon which 

showed almost nothing except that 

there might be a minor infection 

which could be treated with some 

antibiotics. We thought we might 

as well go back home, but the doctor 

advised staying overnight since 

Chance had been anesthetized for 

the scan which can cause problems 

that need to be watched. We 

grudgingly agreed and prepared 

for another night’s stay. That was 

when I got a second lesson in bad 

furniture. In Chance’s room, besides 

the dreadful lounge chair, 

there was this odd wide chair that, 

through various weird manipulations, 

could be made into a cot 

which was only slightly softer than 

the floor—very slightly. Still, when 

you’re really tired, you can sleep 

on such a thing with a little effort. 

I did for several hours on and off 

between caring for Chance. 

What probably upset us the 

most was that Chance went without 

food for over twenty-four 

hours. They thought his stomach 

feeding tube might be misplaced 

somehow and didn’t want to risk 

using it. Since Chance can’t chew 

and swallow worth a hoot, the 

stomach tube is his only way of 

getting nutrition. Finally after the 

scan showed the tube was not 

badly out of place, we could resume 

feeding to his relief and ours. 

It was interesting to note that 

Chance has a way about him that 

makes people like him. When 

nurses first come in to Chance’s 

room, they enter with a certain 

amount of trepidation since our 

boy is autistic and they don’t quite 

know what to expect. Before long, 

however, they discover what a 

sweetheart he is and start babying 

him something chronic. They often 

later tell us he is their favorite patient. 

It’s no wonder Chance isn’t 

in any hurry to leave since he enjoys 

all the attention and action. 

His mother and I, however, tire of 

huge parking lots, the many tenfloor 

elevator rides, fighting town 

traffic, and struggling to get 

enough sleep. We were more than 

ready to get home about one in the 

afternoon on Wednesday. Apparently 

we would have been ahead to 

just have Chance lie flat at home 

and apply light pressure until the 

bleeding stopped. Unfortunately, 

we didn’t know that at the time. 

Neither did we know the infection 

wasn’t so minor and would give us 

fits the rest of the week with high 

temperatures, low oxygen saturation, 

racing heart, and the shakes. 

At least that could be dealt with at 

home with the help of our local 

doctor. Anyway, so much for penthouse 

vacationing. Next time 

maybe we’ll go to a lake or something.

There was destruction in some

The noon meal under the tent 

was well attended. It got kind of 

noisy, but it was good to see long

out front of the church are in 

full bloom and are picture perfect.

High school finals rodeo held last week 

The 2013 South Dakota High 

School Rodeo finals were held last 

week, June 19-23 at the Roundup 

grounds in Belle Fourche. 

Area contestants fought hard for 

the spots to go to the national finals 

in Rock Springs, Wyo. in July. 

Scores were affected by the heavy 

rains, especially for the short go. 

Point scoring for the finals includes 

15 places. First place is 

given 15 points down to 15th place 

which is awarded one point. In instances 

where there is the same 

score the points are totaled and 

then divided equally. The first and 

second rounds each had 15 placings; 

the short go had 10. Average 

winners are based upon totaled 

scores from the three rounds. 

The champion and runner-up 

spots are chosen by the total of all 

the points earned during the season 

plus, those at the finals. The 

top four contestants from each 

event move on to the national finals. 

In some cases, while a contestant 

may not have had the best state finals, 

the had enough season points 

to place them in the top 15 of total 

points for the year. 

Katie Lensegrav qualified for nationals 

in girls’ cutting and True 

Buchholz qualified for nationals in 

boys’ cutting.

Winter Wheat Variety 

Plot Tours 

Winter wheat faced significant 

challenges this year, and the 

SDSU Crop Performance Testing 

(CPT) plots were certainly not 

spared. Some of the locations have 

already been destroyed in hopes of 

raising other crops, while others 

remain intact with hopes of gathering 

viable yield data. 

Besides providing yield, test 

weight and other valuable information, 

Winter Wheat CPT plots 

also provide an opportunity for 

producers to learn about new, up 

and coming varieties. Between 

plots being abandoned and positions 

open at SDSU Extension, 

crop tours will be scaled back a little 

this year, but Winter Wheat Variety 

Plot Tours are planned near 

Ideal, SD on July 1 and Martin, 

SD on July 2 in south-central 

South Dakota. 

The tour near Ideal, SD, will be 

held at the Jorgensen Farm, beginning 

at 5:30 p.m., CDT. From Winner, 

SD, go 8.5 miles north on N 

County Road, 2.5 miles west, 4 

miles north and 0.5 miles west. 

You can also go 1 mile east, 1 mile 

north and 0.5 miles west of the 

Ideal, SD Post Office. Speakers 

will be Steve Kalsbeck, Sr Research 

Associate with the SDSU 

Winter Wheat Breeding program, 

and Bob Fanning, Plant Pathology 

Field Specialist. A meal will be 

served following the tour, sponsored 

by Winner Seed, Simplot Soil 

Builders and Country Pride Coop. 

The Winter Wheat Variety Plot 

Tour at Martin will begin at 5:00 

p.m., MDT and is located 5 miles 

east of the stop light in Martin, on 

the south side of SD Hwy 18-73. 

Farm Credit Services of Rapid City 

will be providing refreshments.

Dakota. 

Some Winter Wheat Did 

Not Vernalize 

Earlier this spring, many winter 

wheat producers, agronomists 

and crop insurance adjusters were 

deliberating if winter wheat 

stands were adequate, what yield 

they might produce, and if the crop 

vernalized. As discussed in past articles, 

winter wheat must vernalize 

in order to enter the 

reproductive stage, i.e. elongate 

and produce a seed head. 

Prairie dog 

control 

programs 

Officials with the South Dakota 

Game, Fish and Parks and Agriculture 

Departments are reminding ranchers 

and producers to contact either agency 

if they have unwanted prairie dogs. 

The state’s prairie dog control program 

is cooperatively funded by GFP 

and SDDA. GFP manages encroachment 

issues on private lands which 

have been encroached from adjacent 

public lands, while SDDA manages 

complaints between private landowners. 

“GFP will control prairie dogs that 

have encroached onto? private land 

from adjacent public land,” GFP 

Wildlife Damage Program Administrator 

Keith Fisk said. “Landowners who 

have encroachment problems on their 

property from adjacent public land 

must be within one mile of the public 

land and have at least 20 acres of actual 

prairie dog colonies to be eligible 

for assistance.” 

Additionally, landowners must contact 

GFP and report that they have unwanted 

prairie dogs before August 15, 

2013. “GFP provides assistance to 

many landowners across western 

South Dakota,” Fisk said. “This deadline 

allows GFP sufficient time to coordinate 

the logistics of our control 

program.” 

If a landowner has a complaint regarding 

prairie dogs that are encroaching 

from public land, GFP must be 

contacted at 605-773-5913 to request 

control. Once eligibility has been verified, 

GFP field staff or a department 

representative will control the invading 

colony on the private land later this 

fall. All complaints must be received by 

the August 15, 2013 deadline. 

Landowners that are experiencing 

encroachment from adjoining private 

land need to contact SDDA or their 

local county weed and pest board. If the 

colony is encroaching from private 

land, a signed written complaint must 

be made. 

There are two methods to file a complaint. 

The first option is for the effected 

landowner to sign a letter of complaint 

and mail it to the local County Weed 

and Pest Board. The second method requires 

a formal complaint (available by 

calling 800-228-5254 or through the 

SDDA website at sdda.sd.gov/Ag_Serv 

i c e s / P l a n t - 

Protection/Weed%20and%20Pest). One 

copy must be sent to SDDA and another 

copy to the landowner with the 

invading colony. The mailing address 

for the Department of Agriculture is 

523 E. Capitol Ave., Pierre, SD 57501. 

Notices of encroachment may be sent 

in throughout the year. 

The South Dakota Prairie Dog Management 

Plan may be seen by visiting 

gfp.sd.gov/wildlife/docs/prairiedogmanagement-plan.pdf 

or by calling 

GFP at 605-773-3387. 

Again, in order for the vernalization 

process to occur, the wheat 

kernel must at least begin the germination 

process (at a minimum 

absorb moisture and swell), then 

go through a period of time at a 

temperature below 48 degrees F. 

This period of time can vary from 

as little as a few days for some of 

the early, “winter tender” varieties; 

to as long as 3 weeks for the later, 

winter hardy varieties. The maximum 

temperature may also vary 

slightly, depending on the earliness/winterhardiness 

of the variety. 

This process usually occurs in 

the fall, before winter sets in, if adequate 

soil moisture is present to 

germinate the seed. Vernalization 

can also occur during the winter if 

warm spells begin the germination 

process, or early in the spring. 

It is virtually unheard of for fall 

planted winter wheat not to vernalize 

in South Dakota. The winter 

wheat year of 2012-13 will 

certainly go down in the record 

books in confirmation that this 

anomaly can occur. As of June 19, 

there were reports of winter wheat 

not yet jointing, indicating that the 

plants did not vernalize, and in 

some fields, the majority did not. 

There is no way to determine for 

sure a winter wheat plant vernalized 

until it elongates or fails to do 

so.
