Rodney Saylor Johnson
November 30, 1920 — August 5, 2011
Dad passed away August 5, 2011 watering his ewes at his place
in Powell Butte. He enjoyed raising sheep for over 60 years. He’s
shown, upper left, at Swift Steel’s 30th year celebration at their yard in
Redmond. They took this photo of Dad at their big event in October,
2007 and sent it to us. Upper right he’s shown with Mom, Betty Crain
Johnson, shortly before they got married in 1943. We will be holding a
service and Celebration of Life Sunday, August 28 at the Powell Butte
Community Center at 1:00 p.m. The Center is located at 8404 S.W. Reif
Road in Powell Butte, two miles south of the old Grange Hall.

ADVERTISING 101
If you have a business or service, where to advertise
is one of the toughest decisions to make. It doesn’t
have to be. It’s simple, in good times you can afford
to advertise in many places ... in tough times ... you
advertise where the money is ... and it’s always in
agriculture.
We’re Gonna Miss Tom
It’s a little easier to say goodbye to someone that
lived a long life. When it gets cut short it is tougher
to take. Tom had many, many friends at his service
August 1 at the Green Spot Arena in Madras. I think
the crowd was easily more than
1,000. He also touched the lives
of thousands more that couldn’t
leave the hay field or whatever job
they were on ... but I guarantee
you they were thinking of him.
Our condolences go to the entire
Green Family.
Back at RANCHER Headquarters
Our life will be a little different now, too. Dad,
Rodney S. Johnson, passed away August 5 on his
place in Powell Butte he bought from Rush Duncan
in the early 60s. We had just weaned the lambs
a couple days before and he was in the pasture
watering his ewes.
The Crook County Sherrif personnel, the EMTs
and others that quickly responded were professional
and helpful and we appreciate that.
We plan to hold a service August 28 at the Powell
Butte Community Center on Reif (RIFE) Road in
Powell Butte at 1 p.m.
We’ve asked long-time friend, Tom Alexander, to
say a few words and then we can visit.

Overseeding mite damage
on a 5-year-old 75-acre hay field
Will not create additional rock and weed problems as turn under and plant will.
Will create faster germination of new grasses as seed is correctly placed in moist sod.
Will positively increase yield in older over-grazed fields for pasture or hay usage.
Will allow you to add an additional grass or alfalfa variety to your present field crop.
Will allow you to cost effectively repair mite or grazing damage or sprayed cheat grass
areas of your field.
Will significantly increase yield in older low yield hayfields by seeding new compatible
grasses.

Shelman Family Horse Sale Sets Record High
July 16 at the Bell A Ranch In Burns
Good horse flesh and standing room only at ringside
set the stage for a brisk market at the Bell A Ranch in
Burns, Oregon on July 16, 2011.
The 8th annual event posted a record high average of
$3,900 on 45 head that passed through the ring with 34
sales achieved. Broke geldings were in demand with
the top ten hefting an average of $8,500 a piece. Skippin
Jackson, a 6-year old AQHA gelding consigned by
Cory and Jaris Shelman topped the sale at $13,000 and
sold to Ken Buscher of Bonanza, Oregon. The average
for the 2011 weanling colts was up from past years
bringing on average $1,650.00 a piece.
The two day event started off on Friday, July 15, with
a Reined Cowhorse Clinic instructed by Legendary
Horseman Ted Robinson of Oakview, California. As
in the past, Ted offered excellent instruction and good
humor for adult and youth riders on reined cowhorse
fundamentals. Ted then viewed each horse in our sale
as it was led through preview and sift, checking each
individual for soundness, blemishes and quality. Wired
with a portable microphone Ted offered commentary
on each horse individually.
The ranch horse trail class continues to be well
attended by buyers as each horse in the sale must
complete the course. Each horse and rider must open
and close a gate, cross a log, drag a tire, retrieve a coat
off the fence and hang on saddle and cross a bridge.
We continue to see the individuals who complete these
everyday ranch chores well, bring a premium in the
ring.
Buyers had the chance to view arena-ready rope and
ranch horses during our team roping preview at the
Harney County Fairgounds. Sellers had the opportunity
to show their horse out of the box according to their
ability. Buyers were able to see these horses on all
types of cattle, hard fresh runners and tired roped out
stock. All in attendance were treated to a BBQ hosted
by the Shelman’s and featuring Buermann’s Ranch
Meats of Burns, Oregon.

Fairgrounds in John Day. It was another great year,
with visitors from almost every county in Oregon,
the usual Western States, and also from Oklahoma,
Illinois, Alabama, Georgia, New York, Wisconsin,
Virginia, Vermont, Ontario, New Brunswick, and
Mexico. People traveled to the only event of its kind
in the Northwest to learn about renewable energy
and traditional skills.
They greeted the electric cars from Portland and
northern Idaho, including the first new Nissan Leaf
to come past The Dalles, which made it all the way to
John Day on electric power with charging stops set
up by EORenew. SolWest had the best Sunday ever,
as local people turned out to check out the offerings
and take advantage of the free Sunday afternoon
admission. SolWest would like to thank all the local
volunteers who helped make the event a success.
We are already looking forward to next year’s event,
which will take place July 27-29, 2012.
AttEndees at the 2011 SolWest Fair held

have included Rocky and Beverly Rockwood, Gene and Wanda Hargis, and June and Norma
Welch. Their friendships began in Powell Butte and spanned several decades.

Dad was a pilot in World War II. A 2nd Lieutenant in the Army
Air Corps. He didn’t talk much about it. Going through papers the
last few days I learned quite a bit. He was checked out in numerous
planes and his log books were interesting reading. He served his
country like so many did back then. He flew out of necessity and
didn’t care much about it after the war. Mom’s Dad E.W. Crain
flew in World War I and was also in the cavalry. I learned to fly and
was partners in a Bonanza for a bit with Kenny Larkin and Mike
Churches. Flying is expensive and I guess the accomplishment
of getting a certificate was the best part. Flying is such a great
feeling.
Dad, Mom and my two sisters, Jan and Maradee moved up into
the modified A-frame home in 1964.
If many of the newcomers knew what we paid for the entire 160
acres they would be envious. Let’s just say you couldn’t buy three
good Angus pairs for less.
Dad did a lot of the work himself, especially on the walls of the
daylight basement. I remember the little old cement mixer got a
work-out for a year or so. With each load we would squish several
bowling ball size Powell Butte rocks into the each new pour to fill
the forms faster and to save money.
Dad was about 28 in this photo. He smoked for 70 years. He
quit about six years ago, but started chewing.

I bet we put a thousand miles on the old Apache 10
pickup. Scouring our land and everywhere else for
more rocks to use in the foundation.
I think about 640 head of sheep was the biggest his
flock ever got. And sometimes down to a few, but for
over 60 years sheep in some form or another sheep
were around.
Dad was born November 30, 1920 and grew up in
Portland with his sister Joyce. I never met Grandpa
Roy Johnson but Grandma Hazel was always glad
to see us kids when we went to the Big City for
holidays.
Living next to Eastmoreland Golf Course developed
a passion for golf in Dad. He was real good in his
younger days. A back operation when I was four
enable him to start golfing again and he and Mom
were members of the Prineville Country Club for
many years.
I thought golf was for the birds most of my life. I
would play a round with Mom every few years and
take a beating. She didn’t hit it very far, but it was as
if they mowed the fairways just for her.
I got interested in golf about 12 years ago. Dad and
Mark Howard, who has worked with us for 25 years
or so, would be gone golfing now and then and I was
left at home doing some sort of work. So I took it up
the sport.
Dad went to Washington High School in Portland
and later took engineering classes at Oregon State
College in Corvallis. After Grandpa Roy passed away
Dad changed his major to journalism and graduated
from University of Oregon.
He worked for several newspapers on the coast and
then moved to Central Oregon. He toyed with the
idea of buying the Central Oregonian. Bob Chandler
owned the Bend Bulletin and he and Dad met a couple
times discussing just that. Dad decided to start the
Central Oregon RANCHER in 1952.
After a few months of sales he had enough to pay
for printing and the first issue was mailed in March
of 1953.
We were living at the Balfour place in Powell Butte.
We had a lease/option on it. But Mrs. Balfour decided
not to sell so Dad made other plans. We lived across
the highway from June and Norma Welch for several
years while we were building in the 60s.
I took some college courses at COCC and one term
at OSU. It wasn’t for me. I think the libtards annoyed
me even back then.
I worked in the woods for McCallen Logging,
John Collins/DLCO Logging, Kanna Logging out of
Klamath Falls, Woodward Logging and even spent a
few months on the MC Ranch out of Adel. I enjoyed
physical work and being horseback or running
machinery was just fine with me.
Mom talked me into going to work for Dad so I
could take over the magazine and she and Dad could
retire and travel. So being a good son, that’s what I
did.
I started working for Dad at $200 a week. After
the grind of each monthly issue he didn’t want to see
me for a week. I would work for Craig Woodward
during that week, some weekends and some holidays
to make ends meet for several years. Eventually the
treehuggers shut down the logging and the magazine
was keeping me busier.
Mom became sick for several years and passed away
on January 11, 1990. I knew retirement wouldn’t be
good for Dad so I just kept working with him and our
original agreements were put on hold.
Dad was still active in the magazine until about
seven years ago. He always did a few hours of proof
reading each month ... so if errors pick up a little for
the next 30 years, you will know why.
It’s sure not the same with him gone, but life is full
of obstacles and adjustments.
I was very lucky to be able to be around when
needed by my folks. If there were drawbacks, they
were few.
It’s been a long 12 days since Dad passed. I have
a couple more ads to put together. Some more news
to put down and I have to be at the printer in six
hours.
Thanks for bearing with the rambling.
Rod Johnson

It All Began in 1976!
The last of the three local county fairs just completed. Football practice starts this week.
It seems as soon as kids finish one activity, they are off to the next. One comment about
the fairs. I would like to compliment the local businesses and individuals on their ability
to continue their support of the 4-H & FFA livestock auctions ... with the state of the
economy ... the money donated to those exhibitors was GREAT!
At Central Oregon Ranch Supply, we are now right in the middle of preconditioning.
We are stocked up with fall programs in place, and ready to assist you in adding value
to your good calves. I have said this before ... can you imagine what a set of weaned,
preconditioned, bunk broke calves might bring with video season winding down and the
inventory for calves so tight.
Central Oregon Ranch Supply is also deep in preparation for our Trade Show. We will
be celebrating our 35th Anniversary! I have asked these manufacturers to dig a little
deeper for promos and giveaways to commemorate our 35 years. We are very excited with
many great things coming together. Watch for your Trade Show catalog in the mail after
Labor Day.
This year’s Trade Show will include a Prime Rib dinner, the Million Penny Roundup 4-H
Fund-raiser, a Free trip to the NFR in Las Vegas, plus, the biggest selection of promos,
product and suppliers we have ever been able to offer!
Let us know if we can help you with your calf program and we will see you September
23rd & 24th at our Trade Show in Powell Butte.
Thanks,
