Wanblee man pleads guilty to 

kidnapping Jerett Jakeway 

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 imprisonment, 

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 incident 

that took place on November 

5, 2011, when Jakeway and his father 

abducted the victim, an adult 

male. Jakeway and his father, 

William Jakeway, thought the victim 

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, 

they forced the victim out of a vehicle 

and assaulted him. They forced 

the victim into their car for the purpose 

of harassing and interrogating 

him and started driving back toward 

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 Enforcement 

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. Jakeway 

was remanded to the custody 

of the United States Marshal pending 

sentencing.

Read Matthew 6:9-13 

Jesus Christ gave His followers a pattern for prayer 

that includes seeking forgiveness daily. The invitation 

The God Who Forgives to regular repentance is not a means of renewing our 

salvation, but rather a maintenance plan for our fellowship 

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 continue 

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 forgiven. 

God's grace is not a license to sin; instead, it's a reason to pursue righteousness. Bad attitudes, thoughtless 

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.

Letter to 

the Editor 

Dear Editor, 

Count your bedrooms: Once we 

have turned over the needs of 

Kadoka to those nice state employees 

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 dollars 

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 Jordan, 

recently of Kadoka, and her 

deceased husband. Over the years 

it grew to a complex of over 160 vacation 

homes, a restaurant, a marina, 

motel and campground. Boat 

launching facilities are also available. 

Once the “Plan” was in place, 

the locally elected officials decided 

that the complex had to have a centralized 

sewage disposal system. 

The bureaucratic rules that dictate 

“one size fits all” had to be followed. 

“Big Brother’s” 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 lagoon 

which had to be plastic lined 

due to possible leaching in the 

sandy soil. The sewage has to be 

pumped. It works on an evaporative 

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 intensive 

water level maintained in 

them year around. 

North Shore lost a lot of beautiful 

old trees to new sewer lines as 

well as some tenants. Operational 

costs are higher. Along with business 

losses, the taxpayers are the 

losers. The environmental engineers 

of Schumacher, Paul & Nor 

and bonded outside certified contractors 

did OK. The bureaucrats 

from EPA are probably pointing to 

it as a fine example of protecting 

the people’s health and safety. 

Kadoka’s 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?

Lookin’ Around 

by Syd Iwan 

“We’re tenting tonight on the 

old campground,” goes the Civil- 

War song. Well, not me personally. 

I’m 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 I’m trying 

to sleep. 

Not only that, but our ranch 

home is at the back of beyond so 

we’re 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 making 

coffee and the occasional 

cheeseburger or whatever. That’s 

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. It’s been 

so long ago that I forget the details. 

We were headed for a weeklong 

conference at Colorado 

Springs and were trying to save 

money. The main thing I recall was 

waking up very cold indeed. I 

didn’t 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 didn’t have a floor and I 

didn’t ever stay in it overnight. It 

was quite a grand place to play 

during the day, however. I still remember 

the smell of the green canvas 

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 Minnesota 

who often camp down by 

our creek each January. Sometimes 

they don’t 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 haven’t 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 anytime 

soon. They’re nuts. 

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 attended. 

They didn’t sell the land or 

the house, but did get rid of equipment 

and household goods they no 

longer needed. Janet said they 

couldn’t sell the house as it is her 

“cabin on the prairie” as compared 

to many of her Minnesota neighbors 

who have “cabins on the lake.” 

Janet is more drawn to the prairie 

than to lakes. Janet’s 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 couldn’t come. Janet’s 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. Various 

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 return 

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 graduation. 

He, too, hopes to attend. 

Eddie Kodet died in August of 2010 

at age 95 and Marjorie in March of 

2009 at 92.

Kadoka, SD 

One other camping experience I 

had was similar to what the Minnesota 

guys do in that we didn’t 

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 rattlesnake 

at that campground and 

was glad I hadn’t 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 don’t provide much protection. 

On the other hand, I greatly enjoyed 

a little camping trailer I had 

for a while. I bought it in New Orleans 

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 Orleans. 

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 you’re on the ship and not 

even technically on duty, you’re 

still on duty. My most memorable 

camping experience with it was on 

the way home when I stopped at a 

campground in Kentucky over Memorial-Day 

weekend. I had my little 

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. I’m content to simply relive 

my experiences of those things 

in my mind. Others may be tenting 

tonight on the old campground, 

but I’m not one of them. I have a 

nice sturdy building in which to 

spend the night with all the comforts 

of home. That’s the way I like 

it. 

day. Mike’s daughter, Emmy Lu 

Hill, also came from White River 

with her husband, Rozen, and family. 

Mike’s 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. Jim’s wife, Lynn, 

didn’t 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, incidentally, 

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 

GAS • POP 

GROCERIES 

ICE • BEER 

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, finally 

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 Dolezal’s 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 cowboy’s hats flew 

off, he said, “Oh, no!” 

Bunny Green’s daughter, Darlene 

Wiedemer, came from Murdo 

on Saturday and brought along 

some things she’d 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 Bunny’s dog. On Thursday, 

Eve and Abby Fortune stopped by 

for an hour or so and enjoyed some 

coffee and cookies. 

Eric Osborn’s 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 Pam’s garden 

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 recently 

got 54 baby chicks which 

they aren’t 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 Father’s Day. She 

will also be attending a teachers 

seminar in Chamberlain this week. 

Monica actually teaches at Brookings, 

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 (Nikki’s 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 

isn’t pitched. It’s just placed on a 

flexible post. Nikki also mentioned 

that Delores Bonenberger’s 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. 

Diane’s 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.

Brandon and Kaylo Huber spent 

several days last week with his 

grandpa and grandma, Bill and 

Kenda, and his cousins, Torry, 

Braedon and Bradley. Chris came 

Saturday with Judah and Eve so 

they could get in some cousin time, 

too, before he took them back home 

Saturday evening. 

Braedon and Bradley were busy 

Sunday afternoon helping their 

dad, David, clear up the yard which 

was a Father’s Day present for 

him. 

After spending some time in 

rehab in Valentine after getting her 

new hip, Marilyn Heinert returned 

home Tuesday, and by Friday several 

sons and families came visiting. 

Robert had flown into Las 

Vegas for a conference, and once 

that was done, he flew to Sioux 

Falls, and rode out with his son, 

Nathan, and his wife, Kristi, and 

their children, Mitchell, Derek and 

Shelby, of Dell Rapids. Edward and 

Randy also came for a visit Friday, 

as it was a chance to get together 

with Robert and family as well as 

Marilyn. Gary and Anne hosted the 

crew at their home for meals Friday 

and Saturday. In addition to 

that, Anne took Marilyn to Valentine 

for a check-up Friday morning. 

When returning to Sioux Falls and 

before starting his flight back to 

Hawaii, Robert worked in a visit 

with nephews, Paul and Alex, 

which included a round or so of 

golf, too. 

Jessie Ring took the children to 

the wake for their brother, Ben, 

who died in a car wreck, on Monday 

and Tuesday, and Wednesday 

the whole family went to his funeral. 

Rachel and Memphis Sweeney 

of Cresco, IA, arrived at the home 

of Jessie and Bruce Ring on Thursday 

to spend a few days. They left 

Sunday morning, taking Stephanie 

with them so she could go with 

them to the “Mighty Howard 

County Fair” in Cresco, which lasts 

a week. 

Sunday Jessie fixed Bruce a special 

steak meal for Father’s Day. 

Alberta Allard had been here 

helping Cliff and Pam with haying. 

They are about two-thirds done. Alberta 

recently received word from 

grandson Tony Denke that he and 

his wife welcomed a new baby girl 

to their home in Cozad, NE. 

June 6, Howard, Nette, Chris

Howard, Chris and Beau 

helped with branding at Cheyenne 

Schmidt’s. On the 10th, they were 

at Jerry Hicks’ to help with branding 

there. 

Beau was a groomsman in the 

wedding of TJ at Wahoo, NE, Saturday, 

June 16. June 16 also happens 

to be Howard and Nette’s 

28th anniversary. They spent it at 

Doris and Lonny Lenser’s farm sale 

north of Valentine. 

Jean Kary’s granddaughter, 

Cordelia, was on a 10-day trip with 

World Medical Missions in El Salvador. 

Her parents, Eric and Rae 

Beth Staab, went to meet her in

groom. 

After the reception in Chamberlain, 

Patrick continued on to 

Mitchell to meet up his fellow competitors 

in the SD State Shooting 

Sports Assoc., going on to Grand Island, 

NE, for the National Shooting 

Sports competition there. Meanwhile 

Jason has been busy in 

Brookings with his fellow car 

builders, working on their Indy 

type race car to enter into the competition 

in Lincoln, NE. Blake and 

Amy plan to be in Grand Island for 

Patrick’s competition Wednesday 

and Thursday, and go on that afternoon 

to Lincoln for Jason and 

teams’ competition Thursday and 

Friday. This is much more workable 

this year (being able to attend 

both sons’ doings) than last year 

when the competitions were in opposite 

sides of the country. 

The Buck’N Horse Baseball 

Tournament in Norris was well attended

News … 

Boating safety emphasized 

by Game, Fish and Parks Agriculture Secretary Tom Vil- 

Water temperatures are warming 

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 Dakota’s 

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 officers 

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 conjunction 

with the National Association 

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 they’re in 

good working condition. “The best 

way to prevent an unwanted 

tragedy on the water is to be prepared.” 

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 -

The following list of required 

safety equipment serves as a quick 

reference, but Gust suggests that 

boaters take a few minutes to review 

other safety regulations in the 

South Dakota Boating Handbook.

wearable, properly sized 

personable flotation device for each 

person aboard 


throwable type flotation device 

(seat cushion or ring buoy) for 

vessels 16 feet or longer 


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 doesn’t come off when 

they jump into the water. 

“Of course, it goes without saying 

that life jackets will not keep 

anyone afloat, young or old, if 

they’re not wearing them,” said 

Gust. 

Boating accidents present a special 

safety concern, and Gust asks 

that boaters be especially mindful 

when other boats are present. 

“Many times we see boat accidents 

that involve inexperienced 

operators, but careless or reckless 

operators present a problem for 

everyone,” he said. 

Finally, Gust asks that boat operators 

do their part to make for a 

safe outing and limit alcohol consumption. 

“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 designated 

sober operator at all times.” 

USDA seeks applications for grants 

to help rural businesses create jobs The days of cutting hay on an In- 

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 creation 

in rural areas," Vilsack said. 

"USDA is offering grants to help organizations 

start cooperatives, expand 

existing ones or help develop 

business opportunities in rural 

areas." 

USDA is offering Rural Cooperative 

Development Grants (RCDG) 

to non-profit corporations and institutions 

of higher education. The 

grants also may be used to conduct 

feasibility studies, create and implement 

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 percent 

of the cost of establishing and 

operating rural cooperative development 

centers. Recipients are required 

to match 25 percent of the 

award amount. The grant period 

should begin no earlier than October 

1, 2012, and no later than January 

1, 2013. 

Many RCDG recipients have a 

long history of job creation and economic 

development. In Great Falls, 

MT, the Montana Cooperative Development 

Center has helped 123 

entities and guided the formation 

of 37 cooperatives since its inception 

in 1999. One of these cooperatives, 

the Last Chance Café, 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 

café 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 applications 

is August 6, 2012. For additional 

information, see the June 7, 

2012 Federal Register or contact 

the USDA Rural Development 

state office. 

In addition, USDA is offering almost 

$2.37 million in grants 

through USDA Rural Development's 

Rural Business Opportunity 

Grant (RBOG. The program promotes 

sustainable economic development 

in rural communities and 

regions with exceptional needs.

Commission will use the grant 

award with partner agencies in 

Wisconsin, Illinois and Iowa to improve 

the local food opportunities 

in the tri-state region. The twoyear 

effort will identify agricultural 

strengths, regional opportunities, 

and recommend a unified network 

of processing, storage, and distribution 

facilities throughout the region. 

The RBOG program provides 

training and technical assistance 

grants for business development, 

entrepreneurs, and economic development 

officials and assists with 

economic development planning. 

Funding is available to rural public 

bodies, nonprofit corporations, Native 

American tribes and cooperatives 

with primarily rural members 

that conduct activities for the mutual 

benefit of the membership. 

Applications for Rural Business 

Opportunity Grants are due August 

6, 2012. Application instructions 

may be obtained from the 

June 7, 2012 Federal Register, or 

by contacting a USDA Rural Development 

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 committed 

to using Federal resources 

more efficiently to foster sustainable 

economic prosperity and ensure 

the government is a strong 

partner for businesses, entrepreneurs 

and working families in 

rural communities. 

USDA, through its Rural Development 

mission area, administers 

and manages housing, business 

and community infrastructure and 

facility programs through a national 

network of state and local offices. 

Rural Development has an 

active portfolio of more than $165 

billion in loans and loan guarantees. 

These programs are designed 

to improve the economic stability of 

rural communities, businesses, residents, 

farmers and ranchers and 

improve the quality of life in rural 

areas.

Putting up high quality hay 

ternational H or M tractor with a 

sickle mower are long gone for 

most, says Julie Walker, SDSU Extension 

Beef Specialist. 

"It seemed like a field took forever 

to finish cutting. I clearly remember 

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 improved, 

there are still many decisions 

Walker says producers still 

need to make to ensure hay quality 

is adequate. The decisions producers 

make as managers of forage resources 

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 indicators 

of high quality hay, they 

don't tell producers anything about 

the nutritional content of the forage. 

Sampling is the best way to understand 

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 understanding 

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 digestibility 

in the vegetative stage, 

and is less digestible at seed stage. 

As the plant matures from vegetative 

to seed stage, the digestibility 

decreases and the amount of biomass 

available for harvest increases," 

she says. 

Figure 1 shows that maximum 

yield of digestive dry matter. For 

grasses, the maximum yield of digestive 

dry matter would be obtained 

at the late boot to early head 

stage of maturity and for legumes, 

the mid-to late-bud stage of maturity 

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 concentrations 

of soluble carbohydrates 

and other highly digestible nutrients 

are highest after a full day of 

sunshine and photosynthesis," 

Walker said. 

She adds that tall enough stubble 

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 during 

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 surrounding 

the stems in legumes; 

large and/or coarse stemmed forages 

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 reduce 

the amount of time required 

for hay drying. The commonly used 

hay desiccants are potassium carbonate 

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 prevent 

mold growth," she said. "When 

putting up hay with higher moisture 

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 supplementation, 

can ultimately reduce the feed 

bill. For more information visit,

SDSU Extension-Winner Regional Extension Center 

Ann Schwader, Nutrition Field Specialist 

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 childhood 

and adolescence, so the intake 

of dairy products during these 

years is especially important to 

bone health. It shows that milk 

matters. 

Foods in the Dairy Group provide 

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 osteoporosis. 

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 saturated 

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: Include 

low-fat or fat-free milk or 

calcium-fortified soymilk as a beverage 

at meals. If you currently 

drink whole milk, gradually switch 

to lower fat versions. This change 

cuts calories but doesn’t reduce 

calcium or other essential nutrients. 

If you drink cappuccinos or 

lattes ask for them with fat-free 

milk (skim) milk. Make fruit-yogurt 

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. 

Can’t drink milk? If you avoid 

milk because of lactose intolerance, 

the most reliable way to get 

the health benefits of dairy products 

is to choose lactose-free alternatives 

within the Dairy Group, 

such as cheese, yogurt, lactose-free 

milk, or calcium-fortified soymilk 

(soy beverage) or consume the enzyme 

lactase before consuming 

milk. 

Milk matters. Parents who 

drink milk and eat dairy foods 

show their kids that it is important. 

Go to: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/food-groups/dairy.html 

to 

find out what foods are included in 

the Dairy Group. 

Training day focuses 

on enhancing 

precepting skills 

Healthcare professionals are invited 

to take on the challenge and 

the reward of precepting students 

in rural settings. Not only will professionals 

foster student development, 

but also the connections 

made could aid medically underserved 

areas in South Dakota. 

Dr. Byron Crouse, MD, is the 

keynote speaker at the Rural Experiences 

for Health Professions Students 

(REHPS) Preceptor Training 

Day on Thursday, June 21 in 

Howard, South Dakota. The training 

day provides a free continuing 

education opportunity for healthcare 

professionals, as much as 5 

credits. There is still time to register 

by visiting the Yankton Rural 

Area Health Education Center 

website at: www.yrahec.org or by 

calling the AHEC office at 605-655- 

1400. The free conference will be 

held at the Maroney Commons in 

Howard. Please register by Monday, 

June 18. 

Crouse is joined by Dr. Richard 

Honke, MD, who practices in Parkston, 

and Diane Weber, PA-C, who 

practices in Martin, SD. Both 

Honke and Weber have precepted 

students for many years. Crouse is 

the first associate dean for rural 

and community health and the vice 

chair for educational programs in 

the Department of Family Medicine 

at the University of Wisconsin 

– Madison. Crouse has published 

and spoken on rural health topics 

and educational approaches in 

rural settings. 

Four healthcare and education 

professionals from South Dakota 

State University also will present 

information at the training day: 

Nicole Gibson, MS, NP-C; Renae 

Durfee, MS, NP-C; Robin Arends, 

MS, NP-BC; and Debra Farver, 

Pharm. D. 

“Students are more likely to return 

to facilities and communities 

where they have had rich positive 

experiences early in their training,” 

said Kassy Youmans, REHPS program 

manager for the Yankton 

Rural AHEC. 

The Preceptor Training Day sessions 

begin at 9 a.m. and conclude 

at 4 p.m. Sessions include: Giving 

Feedback, Interdisciplinary Team 

Training, Developing Skills in 

Evaluation, and Rural Precepting. 


Injured hiker rescued at Badlands June 7 

Park Rangers received a 911 call 

from two European visitors at approximately 

10:30 a.m. on Thurs., 

June 7 reporting an injured hiker 

on the Notch Trail. Park Rangers 

and the Interior Volunteer Fire Department 

were first on scene after 

hiking in about ¾ 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, Jackson 

County Sheriff’s officers and 

the South Dakota Highway Patrol. 

After assessing both his injuries 

and the situation, it was determined 

that the safest and most appropriate 

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 the Notch Trail. Black 

Hills Life Flight was already on 

scene with both a flight nurse and 

paramedic having hiked in to provide 

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 Helicopter 

for evacuation to Rapid City 

Regional Medical Center. 

Guard assists in rescue 

mission in National Park 

Four South Dakota Army National 

Guard Soldiers assisted in a 

rescue mission in Badlands National 

Park, near Interior, Thursday, 

June 7. 

The Soldiers, using a UH-72 

Lakota helicopter, conducted a 

cable-hoist extraction of a park visitor 

who was hiking, fell and was 

injured on Notch Trail, according to 

a National Park Service press release. 

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 severe 

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 responded 

to the incident including 

Kadoka and Philip Ambulance 

companies, Jackson County Sheriff'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 appropriate 

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 release. 

Incident command officials at 

the scene made the determination 

that the SDARNG's UH-72 Lakota 

helicopter had the right capabilities 

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 Service 

and other agencies, trained for 

this exact scenario about a week 

earlier. 

"We trained for this type of scenario 

on May 30," said Chief Warrant 

Officer 4 Christian Frank, 

pilot-in-command. "That's how important 

the interagency coordination 

and training is. The rescue 

mission went very smooth."

Public Hearing/Kadoka Nursing Home 

Project: Marlene Knutson from the Central 

SD Enhancement District and Ruby 

Sanftner were present and updated the 

council and members of the public as to 

the progress of the Nursing Home project. 

The project is approximately 80% 

completed; the bathroom is completed; 

the concrete work and sprinkler installation 

are nearly completed. A covering still 

needs to be installed over the pipes for 

the sprinkler system. There were no 

questions from the public and with nothing 

further to discuss, the public hearing 

was closed.

Public Hearing Minutes 

5/30/2012 7 P.M. MST, 

Kadoka Annex 

The meeting was called to order at 7 p.m. 

A motion was made to add discussion 

about time/place of the commission’s 

next meeting by Cindy VanderMay, seconded 

by Kelly O’Connel, and passed 

unanimously by the Commission. 

A motion to approve the minutes from the 

previous meeting on April 11, 2012 was 

made by Mike Groven, seconded by 

Kelly, and passed unanimously by the 

commission. 

Justin Otsea, Planner, Central South 

Dakota Enhancement District, gave a 

brief presentation on the ‘Benefits of 

Comprehensive Planning.’ 

The commission then heard comments 

from the public regarding the draft of the 

comprehensive plan. A question was 

raised to the legality of the process of developing 

the plan. Ken Wilmarth addressed 

this stating that the commission 

has acted completely legally, as they are 

a only a recommending board. 

A revision regarding the description of the 

location of the airport was recommended 

by the public, and changed immediately. 

Further discussion was held, but no recommendations 

regarding the plan were 

made. Concerns were primarily focused 

on dilapidated properties, and junk cars 

throughout the city. 

After hearing all of the public’s comments, 

a motion was made by Kelly to 

recommend the City Council hold their 

respective public hearing; Mike seconded 

the motion. The Commission 

passed the motion unanimously. 

Discussion was held regarding the Commission’s 

next meeting. A motion was 

made by Cindy to hold the next meeting 

on June 13th, at 7 p.m., at a location yet 

to be determined, Kelly seconded the

B. Fire Alarm System/Auditorium: Four 

engineering firms that were suggested at 

the last meeting were contacted and a 

request was made of each firm to submit 

a written quote for engineering services 

for the installation of the fire alarm system 

in the auditorium. State law requires 

that a professional engineer design all 

fire alarm systems. Of the four firms contacted, 

one responded that their firm 

does not design fire alarm systems and 

two firms did not respond to the request. 

West Plains Engineering, Inc. from Rapid 

City did respond with a quote for engineering 

services in the amount of 

$12,000.00. After discussion, Jorgensen 

made Motion 12-06-11:70 to accept the

by Word. A roll call vote was taken with 

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 before 

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

asked permission to have the city join 

SDWarn. This is a water/wastewater response 

network designed to assist members 

in the event of an emergency. There 

is no cost to join. There was no opposition 

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 installation 

of this culvert due to the length of 

it and that it would be too long for maintenance. 

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. 

NOTICE OF PUBLIC 

MEETING 

JACKSON COUNTY 

DRIVER’S 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 continue 

to provide driver’s licensing services 

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 surrounding 

communities. The State has reduced 

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 considering 

hiring additional staff for the increased 

work load. 

Citizens come from up to one hundred 

miles away to obtain their driver’s licenses 

in Jackson County, and many 

chose to come to Jackson County instead 

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 considering 

discontinuing the driver licensing 

services. 

For persons unable to attend this meeting, 

written comments may be sent to:

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. Mayor’s Report: The mayor stated 

that there were no changes to the committee 

assignments and preliminary 

budget worksheets for 2013 were distributed 

in the council packets. 

Willert requested permission to attend 

the Elected Officials workshop to be held 

in Pierre. 

Shuck made Motion 12-06-11:72 to adjourn. 

The motion was seconded by

Rick Holm, M.D., Medical Editor 

In 1988 Arnold P. Gold MD, a 

physician educator at Columbia 

University, noted a disturbing 

trend for Medical Students and 

Residents. Students were overemphasizing 

advancing technology 

while forgetting about the value of 

a caring bedside manner. Indeed, 

a patient survey noted that 12% of 

patients believed their doctor 

didn’t know their name; 20% felt 

the doctor was rude or condescending; 

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 medicine 

to be more compassionate. 

How do you teach someone to have 

empathy and feel another’s pain? 

Thus the Gold Humanism In Medicine 

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 patients 

and families heal as they 

struggle with any kind of illness. 

Humanism by definition started 

with the ancient Greeks, and ancient 

Chinese, Indians, and Persians, 

as each group, 

independently, thousands of years 

ago described value concepts of 

compassion and justice. In the late 

1400s and early 1500s the Italian 

Managing for Reproductive Success: 

Fertility Level of Semen Part III of a four-part Series 

Fertility is influenced by many 

factors, and one of the best methods 

to look at factors that influence 

fertility is with the 'Equation of Reproduction,' 

says George Perry, 

SDSU Extension Beef Reproductive 

Management Specialist. 

Perry explains that the 'Equation 

of Reproduction' includes the 

following four areas: 

•Percentage of animals detected 

in standing estrus and inseminated; 

•Inseminator efficiency; 

•Fertility level of the semen; 

•Fertility level of the herd. 

The first article focused on detecting 

standing estrus and inseminator 

efficiency was the focus of 

the second article in this four-part 

series on managing for reproductive 

success released by SDSU Extension. 

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 genetics 

to all of the calves he sires, 

and bull selection can be the most 

powerful method of genetic improvement 

in the herd," Perry said. 

"Clearly there are differences 

among bulls in their ability to 

achieve pregnancy success." 

Perry points to research conducted 

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. Research 

is being conducted to identify 

characteristics of semen that 

influence fertility rates," he said. 

"The ability of sperm to become capable 

of fertilizing, binding and 

penetrating an oocyte all influence 

a bull's fertility." 

Perry says that research is underway 

to develop tests that will 

more accurately determine the fertility 

of individual bulls. 

"Our ability to predict the fertility 

of individual bulls either by a 

semen sample or a DNA sample 

may eventually be possible," he 

said. "Nevertheless, the only current 

method for determination of 

fertility differences between bulls 

requires the insemination of several 

thousand animals under the 

same management practices." 

Currently, Perry says the best 

method for cattle producers to acquire 

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 circumference, 

mating ability, and 

semen quality play a role in a bull's 

fertility," says Perry. 

He says the best way to determine 

these factors is through a 

Breeding Soundness examination 

(BSE). The American Society for 

Theriogenology developed mini- 

A Good Bedside Manner 

Renaissance brought back Greek 

teachings, classical humanities, 

and an ethical philosophy of social 

science. Hoping to bring all disciplines 

together they also studied 

the Jewish Kabbalah as well as 

the earliest Gospel writings of 

Christian forefathers. 

History has it, however, that eventually 

the humanism movement 

clashed with certain religious leaders 

who declared that “love of humanity” 

could not come from 

human reason alone but only from 

the divine. Humanism leaders, in 

contrast, came to reject any component 

of faith not supported by 

scientific proof. Unfortunately the 

polarized groups lost sight of the 

message about caring for one another. 

I like best the German Art Historian 

Erwin Panofsky’s definition of 

humanism as an attitude of respect 

for the human dignity between 

individuals. He said that 

humans are intrinsically free and 

rational but are limited by fallibility 

and frailty. We therefore have 

responsibility for each other to tolerate 

failings while protecting 

freedoms. 

God, grant me the wisdom and 

empathy to feel another’s pain; the 

responsibility to accept frailty 

while protecting freedom; and the 

kindness of a good bedside manner. 

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 minimum 

requirements are classified 

as satisfactory potential breeders. 

If a bull does not pass one of these 

tests, he is classified as a "classification 

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 approximately 

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 replacement 

herd bull," Perry said. 

The overall purpose of the physical 

examination portion of a BSE 

is to determine a bull's mating ability. 

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 examination 

closely scrutinizes a bull's 

eyes, teeth, feet, legs, and nutritional 

level (evaluated by body condition 

score). Any disease or injury 

that affects joints, muscles, nerves, 

bones, or tendons may cause a bull 

to be structurally unsound. In addition 

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 quality 

semen but is unable to physically 

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 fertility 

currently available are sperm 

motility and morphology. 

"With AI identifying females in 

estrus and proper placement of 

semen are critical factors for obtaining 

desirable pregnancy rates 

in the cowherd; however, compromised 

semen quality through 

semen handling will negate the attention 

to detail of the two factors 

discussed previously," Perry said. 

"With natural service, structurally 

sound bulls with a large scrotal circumference 

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 estrus 

(see Managing For Reproductive 

Success: Detecting Estrus Part 

I) and mating ability should be 

evaluated periodically.

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 year’s 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 estimated 

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 breakdown 

on winter wheat crop condition 

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 average 

of 6 inches for the same time 

of the crop year. SD sunflowers are 

71% planted vs. the five-year average 

of 42% planted.

Minimizing Losses 

in Hay Storage 

Many areas are experiencing 

low hay yields in 2012, and with 

hay prices at high levels, minimizing 

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 substantial. 

Making a well-formed, dense 

bale is the first step toward reducing 

storage losses. Moisture content 

at baling also plays an 

important role. If hay is too wet, 

quality can decrease due to heating 

and molds. Baling too dry can 

cause baler losses to increase dramatically. 

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 significantly 

less weathering loss than 

unprotected hay stored outside. 

Dry matter losses for barn-stored 

hay are typically in the 2- to 8-percent 

range. Covering outside 

stored hay can also reduce weathering. 

Hay stored outside will continue 

to deteriorate as long as it is 

stored, however most spoilage occurs 

early in the storage period. 

Large round bale storage losses 

can easily exceed 25 percent when 

bales are stored outside, unprotected, 

but losses can be minimized 

through good management. 

If outside storage is the chosen 

method, pay close attention to selecting 

a storage site and stacking 

method. 

A well-drained site minimizes 

deterioration on the bottom of the 

bale. Bales stored on damp soil absorb 

moisture that causes damage. 

If possible, elevate bales by stacking 

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 minimize 

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 sunlight, 

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 individually 

without touching other 

bales for ease of handling with 

equipment that grabs the bale 

from both ends. If stored individually, 

leave at least 12-18 inches between 

bales for air circulation. 

Storing bales with the rounded 

sides touching is not recommended. 

This creates a trap for 

rain and snow. The bales may be 

easier to handle with some equipment, 

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 result 

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.
