The official newspaper of Jackson County, South Dakota
County discusses legals, roads, sets date for
special meeting for additional road matters
Sarah DeVries
The Jackson County Board of
Commissioners held its February
meeting on Monday, February 9,
starting at 9:00 a.m. All board
members were present.
The board approved the previous meeting’s minutes and the financial report. Bills and vouchers
were signed throughout the course
of the meeting.
In the sheriff ’s report, Ray
Clements, Jr., discussed some of
the legislation that could raise
concerns with law enforcement:
HB 1096 seeks to revise certain
procedures for issuing a concealed
weapons permit. Clements expressed concern that a person,
having subjected to a NICS check,
would not have to do so again for
five years even if they get arrested
for a violent crime within that
time frame. The Juvenile Reform
Bill was also discussed; the
county’s concern is how much of
the cost of reform will be placed on
the individual counties. Clements
reported that deputy Josh Nisen
will be able to attend the spring
standards starting in March. The
board also approved Clements to
attend the sheriffs’ conferences
April 22 - 24 and September 23 25.
In the board of equalization re-
port, Rose Bennett reported that
the office computer is shutting
down when she tries to use the
USB port. The hard drive is still
under warranty. The board moved
to shedule a repair. Bennett and
Dan Van Gorp were also brought
in to discuss Lot 20, Block 2, in
Wanblee. The person paying the
taxes on the lot does not live on the
lot and never filed a deed of ownership, and the last official deeded
owner was a banking association
that went defunct several decades
ago. The board asked if legally, the
county could allow the taxes to
lapse and put the lot up for auction. Van Gorp said he thought
they could but that more research
would need to be done. No motion
was made.
Vicki Wilson presented the cash
balances report. The estimated
Cost Price Index for taxes payable
in 2016 is 1.5%. Wilson stated that
the abatements were not done yet.
In road matters, Larry Dean
with the Department of Transporation presented the administrative systems map for the county
roads. Some roads, including Stanford, Long Valley, and Allen Road,
which were thought to be classified as primary county highways,
are officially mapped as secondary
county highways. The county
would need a resolution to change
the status of these roads, and
roads being removed from primary
status must be advertised with a
notice of intent. Dean said that
STP funding would not change if a
road status changes from secondary to primary.
Doug Kinniburgh, also with
DOT, distributed info packets on
road funds and funding assistance. Cliff Breuer distributed contact
info
on
the
Local
Transportation Assistance Program (LTAP).
The board met with Van Gorp
and Derek McTeigh of Brosz Engineering for an unclarified executive session. The board also met
with Clements in executive session to discuss personnel.
In additional road matters the
board moved to purchase cutting
edges off of the Beadle County
Culvert & Material bid. Aaron
Richardson reported that the M2,
which was still under warranty, is
returned and back in use. There
was discussion of potential future
gravel pit locations and another
meeting to further discuss roads,
gravel and bid letting was scheduled for Wednesday, February 18,
at 1:00 p.m.
Kerns joins Crew Agency, Ltd.
Nancy Haigh
Taking a new direction in life,
Dana Kerns, has joined Crew
Agency, Ltd, Cactus Flat, as an insurance agent.
Kerns, a life-long resident of
Philip, and a 2006 graduate of
Philip High School, is excited
about this opportunity to help
farmers and ranchers.
Kerns has worked for Bart and
Chad Ramsey, Philip, for several
years, learning all the aspects
that come with the farming and
ranching business. It also has
given him an appreciation for
those people.
He said he is looking forward to
the opportunity to work with
them. It is a new aspect of the ag
business that he is excited to learn
and being able to work with producers. He started his new position Monday, Feb. 16.
Rusty Olney, agency manager at
Crew Agency, said Kerns is a “well
respected young man and it was
very important to us to have
someone located in the Philip
area.” He added that Kerns will be
a good addition to the team. Olney
said Kerns’ knowledge of the ag
industry is one reason Crew
Agency was drawn to him.
Kerns also has been involved as
a junior high coach for football
and boys’ basketball. He and his
wife, Andrea, live in Philip.

School board members, Mark DeVries (L), Ken Lensegrav, Dan VanderMay, Dale Christensen, Ross Block, and
Dawn Rassmussen, visit with staff and students prior to the board meeting on Wednesday, February 11.

A number of new faces will be
seen in the halls next year at the
schools within the Kadoka Area
School District. Several resignations were accepted from staff at
the board meeting that was held
on Wednesday, February 11 at the
Long Valley School.
Resignations for retirements
were accepted from Nancy Weller
and Ruth McCubbin; along with
resignations from Becky Keegan
and Deeta Terkildsen. Besides
these positions that will open at
the end of the school year, the
board approved to advertise for an
art teacher, an athletic director
and to change the Title 1 position
to full time for next year.
Administrative contracts were
offered to Jamie Hermann, George
Seiler, Jeff Nemecek, Chad Eisenbraun, Jo Beth Uhlir, Karen Byrd,
and Eileen Stolley. A contract was
approved for Bonnie Madsen as instructional aide at Interior at
$9.00 per hour.
Parents in attendance addressed the board concerning the
rotation of textbooks for English,
vocab, and literature between the
Long Valley, Midland and Interior
Schools for grades sixth, seventh
and eighth. The material is distributed by grade levels, so all students in those three grades study
the same level. This year, the
eighth grade material is at the
Long Valley School, so students in
the sixth grade are completing
work that is geared for an eighth
grade student. Through the rotation, it would also mean that when
this year’s sixth grade students
reach the eighth grade, they would
be completing work for a sixth
grade student.
“This is a valid concern and
needs to looked at,” said Elementary Principal Jeff Nemecek.
The school calendar for 20142015 was approved with starting
date for students on August 24 and
ending on May 19.
The next board meeting will be
on Wednesday, March 11 with
tribal parents meeting at 5:30 p.m.
and the business meeting to follow
at 6:00 p.m. in Kadoka.

Kadoka City Council held its
February meeting on Monday,
February 9, at 7:00 p.m. All council members were present. Also in
attendance were Patty Ulmen,
Jackie Stilwell, Patrick Solon,
Nathan Riggins, Forrest Davis,
Tina Williams, and Jessi Fromm.
The council approved the prior
meeting’s minutes, bills, and financial statement.
No citizen’s input was given.
Fromm reported about 10 to 15
people attended the last reunion
committee meeting. She said the
committee plans for reunion weekend are much like last years; although KCBA plans to host
Dueling Pianos entertainment in
lieu of a dance Friday night, and
they hope to have Bingo set up
from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m. on Saturday in case any attendees don’t
want to go to the rodeo.
The council held the second
reading of Supplemental Appropriation Ordinance 2015-SA1 (see
legals page 10) and motion to ap-
prove it carried.
The council read and approved,
with a 4-2 vote (Lund and Jorgensen voted no), the Planning
and Zoning Ordinance 2015-1. The
entire copy of the Planning and
Zoning Ordinance is on file at the
city finance office and can be
viewed there. Copies are also
available. This ordinance will be
effective on March 11, 2015.
In water and sewer reports,
Riggins supplied a quote to check
the sewer blocks via camera system of $500.00 for the first block
and $250.00 for each subsequent
block, up to a total of four.
In streets, Dick Stolley and
Patrick Solon reported having
checked the streets for areas that
need asphalt and repair. Areas by
the Gateway Apartments, sections
of Chestnut Street and Poplar
Street are planned for asphalt and
milling. The city will advertise for
bids beginning February 19.
In solid waste, there were no
new reports.
In liquor, Williams reported
that the front door has been fixed
and Solon has been inspecting the
floor to see what repairs can be
made.
In auditorium and park news, it
was reported that it will cost
$1,000.00 to wire in a 100-amp
breaker so that work can begin on
the gym floor in the spring. The
key fob form for the auditorium
has been approved.
There were no new reports in
public safety aside from the regular monthly report.
In the Mayor’s report, Weller
stated that the school is gathering
a list of people seeking summer
employees and interested businesses may contact Andi Kearns.
The city does not plan to advertise
for summer employment until
March. Kadoka will also be hosting the District 8 SDML meeting
on April 7.
The next regular meeting is
scheduled for Monday, March 9 at
7:00 p.m.
Rodeo News, meet the member Veryl Prokop
Veryl at the annual father-son roping held at Cactus Flat.
Ruth Nicolaus, Rodeo News
reprinted with permission
Veryl Prokop’s life centered
around kids, horses, cattle, and
rodeo. The Kadoka, S.D. man, a
member of the National Inter-Collegiate Rodeo Association Alumni,
taught school for 37 years, started
his cow herd when he was 12, competed in and announced rodeos in
college and after, and owned a
herd of brood mares.
He was born in 1936, and twelve
years later, thought he had the
best the world offered when he
won fifty cents for the calf riding
and a dollar for second place in the
pony race at a local Fourth of July
rodeo.
As a teenager, Veryl roped in the
Sunday afternoon roping club, and
when his cousin gave him a bull
rope, his mother wasn’t pleased.
Veryl was drafted into the Army
the autumn after high school graduation in 1954. He served two
years, and when he came home,
began as a student at South
Dakota State University. A neighbor helped him build a one-horse
trailer onto a Model T frame, and
Veryl began college rodeo in the
tie-down roping, ribbon roping,
bulldogging, and the occasional
bull ride. He was president of the
SDSU Rodeo Club his junior year,
and manager of the college’s rodeo,
the Jackrabbit Stampede, his senior year. His senior year, he was
commissioned by the university’s
president to put the rodeo in the
black, or the club would be disbanded. Veryl, with help from his
club members, had a permanent
arena and lights put in, and produced a successful rodeo.
After graduation in 1961, he ran
an artificial insemination business
and then began teaching school in
the fall of 1962. Since then, he’s
taught everything from first grade
to college kids. Veryl spent 34
years in the Kadoka School District, but also taught area schools
as well. In 1986, he got his master’s degree in agricultural education and began the FFA program
at Kadoka.
In 1965, he married a former
South Dakota High School Rodeo
All-Around hand, Marilyn Knapp.
Their goal was to have a herd of
500 mother cows and a band of
brood mares, and they accomplished that before Marilyn’s untimely death in 2008.
He and Marilyn had two children, Tammy and Charlie. Tammy
showed horses, and Charlie roped.
Charlie and his dad still rope together.
Veryl and Marilyn made sure
the rodeo kids at Kadoka and the
surrounding communities were
taken care of, because when he
was young, someone took care of
Veryl. “When I was in college, I
didn’t hardly have a dime to my
name,” he remembers. On weekends, he and his college buddies:
Jim Korkow, Kenny Sutton, Junior
Bachand and Bill Stearns would
go to the Korkow Ranch, where
Erv Korkow, Jim’s dad, put them
to work but made sure they got
paid. “He helped me out,” Veryl remembers. “I said to myself, if I
ever get the chance to help kids,
I’m going to. I returned the favor.”
Veryl retired from teaching in
1998, and takes care of his own
cow herd while helping friends and
neighbors. He survived a severe
case of stomach cancer in 2007,
which ended his riding of green
colts.
He and Marilyn bought their
home, a ranch one mile north of
Kadoka, in 1970, and since then,
it’s been a rest stop for weary rodeo
travelers. When high school rodeo
contestants headed to National Finals on the west coast or in Rapid
City, entire rodeo teams would
stay at the Prokop place. If someone comes to town and needs a
place for their horse to be put up
overnight, the local motel owners
send them to Veryl’s. “Anybody
who’s a cowboy or cowgirl and
needs a place to stay, they’re welcome at the ranch here, anytime.
They can sleep in their campers,
and then come in and have breakfast with us the next morning.”
Rodeo’s been good to Veryl, and
he’s appreciative. “I’ve made a lot
of friends with rodeo. I was never
a world champion, but we have
two trophy cases full of trophies
and ribbons, Marilyn and the kids’
things. I’ve met some wonderful
people.”

Lookin’ Around | Syd Iwan
Prayer
I didn’t go to church this morning,
but I did pray some anyway. The
main reason for the prayer is that
son Chance is once again in the
hospital and needs all the help he
can get. Our prayers and those of
many others are quite possibly
why our boy is still with us. This
applies, not only now, but to several occasions in the past.
This time around started nearly
two weeks ago now when our boy
showed various flu-like symptoms
such as vomiting and the like. It
probably wasn’t flu since it responded somewhat to antibiotics
which viruses don’t particularly.
The symptoms, however, were
similar. Things got bad enough
that it seemed best to Doctor Klopper that Chance be admitted to
our small hospital at Philip. Various nurses doted quite a bit on our
guy there, and he made some improvement.
On Tuesday, however, Chance
started laboring somewhat to
breathe. We weren’t quite sure
what was going on, but, when wife
Corinne mentioned this to nurse
Krista, she did. After checking
things out a little, she called Dr. K
who came on a run. Chance had
gone into a myasthenia crisis
which can be fatal if not treated
right away and even sometimes
then. For those who aren’t familiar with myasthenia gravis, let me
explain that it is a condition where
the body manufactures antibodies
that interfere with messages from
the brain to the muscles. This may
result in drooping eyelids, general
weakness, and so on. If it gets bad
enough, it can affect the muscles
involved with breathing and stop
the breathing altogether. This has
happened to Chance in the past
and is very scary indeed.
As a result, Chance and
Corinne were soon on an airplane
headed west close to a hundred
miles to a larger hospital that had
ventilators and other equipment
for dealing with such a crisis. This
was speeded along by a whole
bevy of nurses and others who surrounded us, accompanied us to the
airport, and were right there to
help. After the rush to the airport,
I followed by car, and, when I got
to the larger hospital, Chance was
already in the intensive-care unit
with a ventilator standing nearby.
Our boy was still breathing on his
own, but he was having a hard
time. Eventually they connected
the ventilator which gave some relief from the labored breathing.
This was important in that repeated strenuous exertion intensifies the effects of myasthenia and
makes it worse.
Well, things got better and we
could soon see some improvement.
That was in part probably due to
a medicine that had given our guy
leg cramps previously but now, in
smaller doses, managed to do good
things. Another regular treatment
that had been given a week previously (IVIG) might have also
kicked in. In any event, Chance
started relating to us again
whereas he didn’t respond much
when things were really bad. In a
day or two, he started smiling
more and even occasionally teasing us. This was nice to see. Yesterday, then, our boy was moved
from the original ICU to what they
call the “transitional ICU.” In
other words, he had improved and
didn’t need quite so much constant
attention. Again, we have encountered a bunch of excellent doctors
and nurses who are trying hard to
A reliable and efficient supply
chain is critical to our nation’s
global competitiveness. Our ports
are a vital link in that chain, but
unfortunately, some of the biggest
challenges at our ports are self-imposed and are having major repercussions across the country,
including South Dakota. The current delays and disruptions
caused by labor disputes in the
West Coast ports have directly
harmed exports, product availability, and jobs in South Dakota. In
particular, South Dakota’s farmers, ranchers, retailers, and
households are bearing the costs
of these labor slowdowns.
On February 10, 2015, the Senate Commerce Subcommittee on
Surface Transportation and Merchant Marine Infrastructure,
Safety, and Security held a hearing about the challenges the ports
slowdown are causing across the
country. As chairman of the Commerce Committee and as a member of the Senate Agriculture
Committee, I’ve been monitoring
the ports disputes and have heard
from a number of South Dakotans
about how the disruptions in service continue to directly impact
their businesses.
At the hearing, Cargill testified
that lost sales and unnecessary
port charges are costing our nation’s meat and poultry industry
over $40 million per week and
jeopardizing relationships with international customers. I have also
heard from Tyson Fresh Meats,
based in Dakota Dunes, which
shared with me that its beef and
pork is sitting in freezers near the
ports instead of heading to Asian
markets, while 30 to 40 large container ships are sitting off the
coast waiting to export our nation’s premium products. Tyson
Fresh Meats has 41,000 team
members, and the U.S. Department of Agriculture reports that
agricultural exports support over
one million full-time U.S. jobs.
These delays, which have been
going on since last summer, are
having a real impact on jobs and
our economy.
The disruption is also hurting
consumers and retailers, which
often import a substantial portion
of merchandise through the West
Coast ports. Outdoor Gear Inc., a
family-owned winter apparel
wholesaler based in Sioux Falls,
moves about 95 percent of its inventory through West Coast ports
and has been forced to miss deadlines, pay late-delivery penalties,
and pass up important sales op-

make things better. They seem to
be succeeding, and we have hope
of getting out of here before too
much longer. They are still treating another bug with IV antibiotics which will take a few days to
complete, but we may be able to
move back to our local hospital or
even home to finish them up. Time
will tell on that one, but there is
definitely hope. We currently also
have some issues with Chance’s
stomach tube that need to be resolved which isn’t happening here
on a weekend, but tomorrow, Monday, may see some action.
Meanwhile, Corinne and I are
taking turns tending at the hospital and getting rest at a motel. We
have done this before and know
the drill. I generally draw the
overnight duty since I can sleep
anywhere which is not so much
the case with Corinne. On a previous similar instance, I figured how
to use several pillows to even
make it possible to get good rest in
one of those awful hospital reclining chairs. Those dreadful things
have hard wooden armrests and
strong springs that tend to snap
you back upright if you try to recline. Since I have been known to
sleep through thunderstorms, a
cacophony of bings and bongs from
monitors and other equipment
does not disturb me in the least
once I get to sleep. Getting to sleep
doesn’t take long either since this
hospital duty tends to be tiring.
That, then, is how things are
going at the moment. We continue
to be quite hopeful that Chance
will come through this current
trouble okay, and we certainly appreciate the work of so many people and the multitude of prayers
that have been sent up. Thanks so
much.

Port Disruptions Causing
Challenges for South
Dakota Ag Producers and
Retailers
Thursday, February 19, 2015- Kadoka Press -
portunities, including in December during the peak holiday season. In fact, BNSF railroad
testified at the hearing that they
have been forced to cut weekly
train service to ports in half from
60 trains per week to 30 trains.
This dramatic reduction in service
underscores the ripple effects that
are being felt across the country.
While our nation’s businesses
are dynamic and adaptable, this
situation cannot go on indefinitely,
and we cannot continue to expect
our businesses and households to
absorb the unnecessary costs of
delays. Congestion and labor disputes in our ports are causing a
large drain on our nation’s economy and will take months to unwind.
While this has been on-going
since late last summer, I urge all
sides in the dispute to come together and find a long-term solution as soon as possible. This also
requires the president and the administration to get actively involved to resolve this impasse. As
chairman of the Commerce Committee, I will continue to highlight
the direct impact this slowdown is
causing businesses in South
Dakota and across the country
and I am committed to working
with all parties to get this vital
link in our nation’s supply chain
back on track.
Another Effort To Be Even
Better Stewards
The word that best sums up the
public trust held by all officials is
stewardship.Stewardship – the
careful and responsible management of something entrusted to
one'scare – has been my goal over
these past four years.
Good stewardship brought our
budget into structural balance
four years ago. It has beengood
stewardship, each year thereafter,
to project our revenues and expenses with caution, so if we
erred, we would err on the side of
a surplus not a deficit. It was an
exercise of careful and responsible
management when, after receiving an unexpectedwindfall last
year, we used the money to retire
bonds early and to pay cash for
our newveterans’ home rather
than borrowing.
In another effort to improve
stewardship of taxpayer dollars, I
have initiated a new state debt
policy this year.
Our Constitution prohibits
debt. To finance construction proj-
ects and manage large outflows of
funds, the South Dakota Building
Authority and South Dakota
Health and Educational Facilities
Authority were created. These entities issue and refinance bonds to
pay for things like state park projects, the buildings at the behavioral health center in Yankton and
public university projects. Longterm leases between the state and
these authorities retire the bonds
that are issued.
Last year, I asked the Bureau of
Finance and Management to create a new debt limitation and
management policy to guide both
the management of existing debt
and the issuance of new debt
through these authorities. Under
this new policy, total debt cannot
exceed 1.2 percent of the state’s
GDP and total annual debt service
payments cannot exceed 4 percent
of the ongoing general fund revenue from the previous fiscal year.
We were well below these
boundaries at the end of Fiscal
Year 2014, with the total outstanding debt as a percentage of
state GDP at 0.8 percent and an-
nual debt service payments as a
percentage of ongoing general
fund revenue at 2.9 percent.
In January, the Lieutenant
Governor and Commissioner of Finance and Management traveled
to New York City to share this new
debt policy with ratings agencies.
When Standard & Poor’s revised
South Dakota’s outlook from stable to positive last summer, the
ratings agency encouraged South
Dakota to continue to improve our
already strong fiscal position. I appreciate a good credit rating because it saves the state money, but
I also appreciate that outside experts are endorsing the strength of
the decisions we have made.
The principle of stewardship –
careful and responsible management – will continue to bemy goal
for the next four years. We won't
spend money we don't have. We
will keep ourbudget in structural
balance. We will be frugal, not
cheap, and seize opportunities
tospend in the short term where it
can lead to savings, efficiencies or
better government inthe long
term.
From the U.S. Senate | Senator Mike Rounds
Providing Regulatory
Relief for Community
Banks
Small main-street banks are
critical to the success of small
businesses in South Dakota. They
offer loans to farmers and support
our small businesses that provide
good jobs and essential services to
all corners of our state. Often
times, they also serve as community centers where birthdays, anniversaries, town meetings and
other gatherings are held and lifelong memories are created. We understand that the longevity and
prosperity of community banks
are essential.
Recently, financial institutions
have been hounded by onerous
rules and regulations, especially
small community banks. With
more than 6,500 community
banks throughout the country
supporting even the remotest
areas, the federal government
must make sure it is enabling, not
hindering, their ability to function
properly. Almost half of small
businesses, which we all know are
the driver of job creation and economic growth in America, are supported by small community banks.
Providing these institutions with
regulatory relief is critical.
We recently examined ways we
can help community banks during
a two-part hearing in the Senate
Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs Committee.
During the
hearings, we specifically focused
on the need to roll back some of
the regulations in the 2010 DoddFrank financial reform law. DoddFrank was intended to clean up
the mess caused by the housing finance collapse which had nothing
to do with community banks. Unfortunately, this has hit small
banks with unnecessary regulatory roadblocks.
In the first part of our hearing,
we questioned the regulators responsible for implementing these
rules for community banks. I challenged officials concerning burdensome
paperwork
requirements. Currently, financial
institutions are required to file periodic financial and other information
with
their
respective
regulators. These forms are currently 80 pages long and contain
more than 670 pages of instruction material. Complying with this
paperwork has been increasingly
difficult for smaller banks with inherently fewer resources. I was
pleased to hear many of the witnesses agree that reforms are necessary to ease these regulatory
burdens.
The second part of the hearing
included testimony from community bankers. They offered additional insight on how we can best
provide relief from some of the
outdated and unnecessary regulations, and how specifically they
have hindered their ability to be
effective. The bottom line is this: if
banks are going to be subject to a
more intrusive regulatory environment, those costs will eventually
be passed down to the consumer.
And if community banks are put
at a competitive disadvantage,
then consumers – including many
South Dakotans – would have less
flexibility and fewer choices when
it comes to financial decisions.
This ultimately bogs down economic activity, beginning at the
local level.
Small community banks don’t
think of banking in terms of ‘derivatives’ and ‘default swaps’ like
they do on Wall Street; they think
of banks in terms of how they can
best serve their communities –
their friends, neighbors, store
owners and job providers. I wholeheartedly support efforts to provide them with regulatory relief
and separate them from Wall
Street banks. I will continue to
seek ways to do so as a member of
the Senate Banking Committee.

Legislation and Leadership
It’s that time of year when I
have the opportunity to address
the South Dakota State Legislature – a body I was once a part of.
When I meet with them this
Thursday, I’ll be talking a lot
about opportunity and the state
and federal collaboration that
must occur to ensure every hardworking South Dakotan has the
chance to get ahead.
Today, South Dakota sits as an
example for the nation, due in
part to the commonsense policies
that come out of the state legislature year after year. We have one
of the lowest unemployment rates
in the country and consistently
earn recognition as the one of the
best states to do business. We
keep our taxes low and minimize
the regulatory burden on family
farms and job creators. We put
South Dakotans in control of their
future and we’ve flourished as a
result. I was proud to play a role
in facilitating that kind of economy as a member of the South
Dakota State House and I’m working hard to bring those same values to the U.S. Congress.
There’s a lot of work that must
be done – on both the state and
the federal level. Our budgets
must get balanced. Infrastructure projects must be funded.
Human trafficking has to be
stopped. The federal tax code
must be simplified. Trade agreements must be signed. And to
achieve any of it, common ground
must be found. That will require
strong leadership.
This week, we celebrate the
birthday of one of our nation’s
strongest leaders, President
George Washington. He reminded
us that, “Liberty, when it begins to
take root, is a plant of rapid
growth.” To produce real results,
we need to start with an understanding that neither the state nor
the federal government builds an
economy or creates jobs. People
do. When lawmakers sign a bill,
they aren’t signing a paycheck.
They’re simply helping to create
an environment where if you work
hard and play by the rules, you
will get ahead. This is the message I’ll be sharing with the state
legislature this week.
It’s hard to believe it’s been
more than five years since I represented District 6 in the South
Dakota House of Representatives.
It’s an experience – and a lesson in
leadership – that I carry with me
to this day.

Shorty Ireland, was Kenny Ireland. They visited for a short time
before Kenny was off and running.

smiles and laughter into the facility.
Visiting with Aunt Joy Parker
were Ron and Renate Carson,
Wilma Carleton, and Oliver and
Gayle Carson’s from Wall. Everyone loves Aunt Joy!
Charity Edwards had a surprise
visit from her daughter, Jennifer
Black Bear, and family. This was
the best Valentine’s gift Charity
could have received.

times.” Thank you for stopping by.
In to check on Sheila Bowen

down from Rapid City where she
is now employed.
On Saturday, we had a Valentine’s Day party. Tiffany Brown
and Elmer Williams made Valentines bags and we put in our
valentines and candy in and we
passed these out. Then donuts,
angel food cake, coffee, and punch
were served. Several residents
along with Ron Carson, Wilma
Carleton, Gary and Ruth McCubbin, Lois Pettyjohn, Frances Terkildsen, and Geraldine Allen were
in attendance. After serving refreshments we went around the
room and honored all the couples
and the years that they were married.
Sydne Lennox came by and
passed out candy to the Legion
and Auxiliary members. Jobie
Gerry and Charity Edwards received a balloon and brownies
from the Eagles 4-H group. The
party was a big success and we are
thankful to everyone who stopped
in and to those who dropped off
gifts.
Later on that evening we
watched a movie and enjoyed
pizza and soda. All these treats
will make us have to diet all week!

from her daughter, Sharon Daum.
Their time together is always very
special.

“What kills a skunk is the
publicity it gives itself.”
Abraham Lincoln
Andee Beckwith accompanied
her grandparents, Jim and Marjorie Letellier, to the Logterman
family bull sale in Valentine on
Monday. They met up with Rev.
Don and Anna May Letellier of
Wood Lake at the sale and all enjoyed supper together following
the sale. Several other area folks
also took in the sale that day.
Gale, JoAnn Letellier, Gary
Letellier and Cooper Letellier all

in Valentine on Monday.
Bruce Ring took his mother,
June Ring, to Rapid City on Monday where she kept an appointment.
Dan and Susan Taft kept appointments in Martin on Monday.
Parents and grandparents are
enjoying attending the grade
school basketball games at Long
Valley these days. It sounds like
the B game is as exciting as the A
game these days. The B team lost
to Martin Thursday evening by
only one point after several tries to
make it with only seconds left to
play. Grandma Sharon accompanied Torey and Linda Ring to the
game. Tyler Ring plays on the B
team. Long Valley won the A
game.
Morgan Taft had play tryouts at
White River school this week.
The Dave Letellier family of
Hulett, WY, spent the President’s
Day weekend at the ranch with
the his parents, Gale and JoAnn

Congratulations to the White
River Tigers on their win over
Hanson at the Dakota Wesleyan
University Classic held in the
Corn Palace in Mitchell on Saturday. Justice Morrison was named
the MVP of the game. White River
won 69-65 after being behind most
of the game. Great job!
We have quite a system in our
living room when they play the
classics. We watch on computer
and listen on the radio. They are
never together either, so we are
about goofy listening and watching, but love it! When Justice
made those last two free throws to
clinch the game for White River, I
was shouting in the living room!
School News: The
Norris
School held their Valentine party
on Thursday afternoon and sent
the students home all “sugared
up”.

The teachers will be at the Babe
and Ruth WoodenKnife Community Building in Corn Creek from
4:00-5:00 p.m. for the parents convenience and at the Norris School
from 5:15 p.m. on for the Blackpipe community.
Weather wise our temperatures
have been on a roller coaster this
week, but over all it was comfortable, but we are spoiled when it
gets into the 60s. Our snow was all
gone until Monday morning when
we woke up to a covering of the
white stuff, but at this writing it is
all melted again, but clouding up.
One thing for certain, winter
weather is unpredictable.
On Sunday, Irene Kaufman celebrated her birthday with a dinner
out and birthday cake at her
apartment afterward. All her children made it out for the day, Marjorie and Gene Popkes of

arrived at her place on Monday to
check their trail camera and do a
few things around the place for
Maxine.
Folks like us are constantly
being asked where do you conduct
business? Evan and Dorothy Bligh
made trips to Winner, Valentine,
Union Center, Colome and Martin
for supplies this week.
The daughter of Larry and Karen Denny would like
to shower her parents with a with a card shower for
their 50th anniversary on February 15.
My mom and dad have been through many trials and
tribulations over the years. It amazes me that after
knowing each other only two
weeks they were married and
now it’s been 50 years.
Congratulations Mom & Dad,
I love you!

The quilting ladies were busy
Wednesday afternoon and quickly
got their quilts tied for use. Remember they are for our veterans
at Ft. Meade or to kids at that
home in the Black Hills. Shirley,
Margie, Lila, Doodie, Betty and
Geraldine worked. I enjoyed a nice
visit with them.
Chris Riggins took me to Rapid
City early this Wednesday morning and Dr. Wright told me my
eyes were a little better than the
last visit. It sure helped to make
my day. I so appreciate that he
chose to work with eyes for his
profession.
I visited at the care center again
Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday late
afternoons. Betty VanderMay fell
and not sure if she was injured or
not. May we put Betty in our
prayers for a good healing with
less pain recovery.
Just a bit ago I got the most
beautiful bouquet of Valentine
flowers from a dear friend that I
got to stand up with when she and
her husband got married a day or
two ago and are still married and
enjoying grandchildren and greatgrandchildren.
Katie and Daniel visited
Grandma Betty Berry Wednesday
afternoon after school. I stopped
and had a nice visit with all.

Happy Valentine’s Day. The
doors all look shut tight. The only
one I’ve seen all day was Jean
Neumann and a said a brief hi to
Mary Jane Hemmingson this
morning. Jean walks the hallway
every day. Chris said there are
about 10 blocks in a mile, so I try
to get a mile walked at least.
I joined the huge crowd to attend the Cowboys and Candlelight
at Club 27 for the meal and auction for the Kadoka Rodeo Club.
Interesting and informative. They
said about 160 meals were served.
Thought: If there is anything
better than to be loved, it is to love.

South Dakota offers
new online course
for hunter education
Hunters who need to complete
a South Dakota hunter safety certification course can now study
the
online
portion
at
http://www.hunter-ed.com/southdakota/. The online component of
the course was approved by the
South Dakota Game, Fish and
Parks (GFP) recently.
The online portion of the South
Dakota hunter education course
costs $15 and is an alternative to
the free in-person classroom instruction. The online portion allows students greater flexibility
and time to complete their course.
The traditional in-person classroom instruction will continue
across different communities in
South Dakota and are typically offered March through October.
To become certified, hunter education students can complete the
online
portion
at
http://www.hunter-ed.com/southdakota/. Once complete, students
will register and participate in an
in-person Independent Study
Field Day (about 4-6 hours) where
they will review the knowledge
and skills learned online and take
a written HuntSAFE final exam.

Session passed the half waypoint this week and the pace is
moving very quickly now. Over the
past week, substantial debate focused on legislation regarding
guns abortion, death penalty,
highway funding, taxes and a balanced budget amendment. Education funding is also a major topic
of discussion. So far the Governor
has signed 16 bills into law and
additional 16 are on his desk waiting for approval.
On Tuesday the House passed
HB 1179 with a vote of 63-4, a bill
to change the definition of a veteran so South Dakota members of
the National Guard and Reserve
would become classified as veterans in state law regardless of
whether or not they have seen active duty. I was one of the four that
voted against this bill. The definition of a veteran is seasoned,
adept, expert, well trained, practiced, experienced, senior and
most importantly, battle scarred.
Changing the definition of a veteran seemed to send the wrong
message.
On Wednesday, the Senate
passed SB 1 with a vote of 26-8.
Senate Bill 1 is the legislation that
was originally introduced by the
summer study task force chaired
by Senator Vehle. The bill was
amended to more closely reflect
the bill introduced by Governor
Daugaard (HB 1131). House Bill
1131 is schedule for hearing in
House State Affairs next Wednesday, February 18. I encourage all
of you to read both of these bills.
I’m having a very hard time supporting either one.
This week HB 1148 passed out
of the House Education on consent. This bill will require school
districts to report each month of
the fiscal year, the month-end balances of the school district’s general fund, capital outlay fund,
pension fund, and special education fund. I support transparency
for the taxpayers of South Dakota
and for the legislators. I spend
many hours looking at balance
sheets regarding education expenditures. This will be another tool
in the war chest to hold everyone
accountable.
A lot of people have been claiming the state has tons of money in
reserves that could be spent to increase education funding or to expand Medicaid. The money they
claim being hoarded is locked in
reserve funds that were set up for
the purpose of providing guaranteed revenue for certain purposes
that will benefit future generations for years to come. Moreover,
the taxpayers voted to put the
money into the “lock box” reserve
accounts in order to prevent politicians from spending it… because
when it is spent, it is gone and will
no longer provide annual revenue
from interest. I to, would like to
spend more on schools and Medicaid, but we all know that we can’t
spend money we don’t have.
The real rainy day funds total
about $150 million. The budget reserve is about $105 million. The
property tax reduction fund is
about $44 million. Those are combined and referred to as “rainy day
funds” or “reserve funds.” That’s
only about 12% of our annual expenses, and that’s what we set
aside for emergencies like the 2011
floods. It’s responsible management to hold some money in reserve for such emergencies.

I'll call you back. The fax number

to committee hearings, and contact the legislators.
We have now finished the fifth
week of the Session. Bills are being
heard in a steady stream on committees as we approach cross-over
day on Feb. 25. That’s the day when
all bills must clear one legislative
body before going to the other body
for their consideration. I sit on Senate Judiciary and we heard SB 192
which would allow the sergeants at
arms the right to have concealed
weapons in the Capitol. It passed 52 and only Sen. Troy Heinert and I
opposed it. I felt that this particular
bill was particularly offensive in
that the main sponsor suggested
that the Capitol police were not
able to protect us. It was opposed
by the Highway Patrol who protects
the Capitol.
While I agree that we can and
should continue to talk about security in the State Capitol, I feel that
Capitol Security is adequate. There
are both uniformed and plain
clothes security officers in the Capitol and a security protocol which I
trust to keep us safe. To suggest
otherwise is to believe that Capitol
police don’t do their jobs.
When I explained my opposition,
I reminded other committee members that many organizations have
sergeants at arms who are never
thought of as armed guards. At
both Tribal Council meetings and
Veteran’s meetings for example,
there are sergeant at arms. I also
felt that the proponent testimony
was not prepared well. None of the
current sergeant at arms or even
the Attorney General testified. I felt
most strongly that this legislation
was an insult to highway patrol officers who serve in the Capitol. I
have a nephew who is a highway
patrolman and I know and respect
the type of work they do. I believe
that this ill-advised vote by Republicans on the Senate Judiciary is
purely political. They might be trying to get an A+ rating with the
NRA, but it is a political stunt more
than an honest attempt to keep us
safe. It is certainly not a vote of confidence in the abilities of our Capitol police or the current safety
procedures we have in place. I sincerely hope that more reasonable
minds will come to bear on this
issue on the Senate floor.
An important issue throughout
the Session is our continuing discussion on roads and bridges. Senate Bill 1 is the Governor’s version
of the Highway bill. There was a
summer task force on highway
needs which met in six communities with over 120 different individuals testifying. The Task Force
recommended $100 million, while
the Governor has asked for $50 million. The need is likely obvious to
anyone who has followed the testimony on this legislation. Of course,
if you spend enough time on gravel
roads, your own “research” has confirmed that something needs to be
done. The problem is that too much
of the money will go to the state for
state highways and bridges and too
little will go to the counties and
townships where the real need exists.
Several amendments came
through Senate State Affairs. One
proposed by Sen. Billie Sutton,
would limit the increase on the fuel
tax to 2 cents per year through the
year 2023. Prior to this Amendment, the legislation would allow
the tax increase every year through
2030. While we can’t deny the need,
don’t be fooled by price tag of $50
million you’ve read about in the
headlines. It will cost a lot more
$
"
$
"
"
$"
"
$"
!"
%
than that!
If every tax is put into place it
will cost taxpayers $230 million by
2023. The motor fuel tax increase is
estimated to bring in $117 million
and will be an increase of 18 cents
per gallon by 2023. Moving the vehicle excise tax from 3% to 4% will
raise $27 million. The 10% increase
in license plate fees will add another $8.7 million. Increase on farm
trucks will raise $2.5 million in the
first year and an additional $1.25
million in the second year. The
ethanol tax increase will raise the
tax from 8 cents per gallon to 26
cents. That means another $10 million each year through 2023. Wheel
tax will be raised from a current
maximum of $16 to $48 maximum.
One Bennett County constituent
who contacted me is concerned that
in the current form, the tax on farm
trucks will double. These aren’t all
grain trucks hauling along highways to an elevator in town. Many
of these farm trucks might spend
very little time on the highway and
almost all of the miles in the field.
They drive from the combine in
their field to their own grain bins
for example. The way the law sits
now; there may be a huge incentive
to not even license the trucks. That
won’t get us anywhere.
The Highway Bill has left the
Senate where it was extensively
amended on Senate State Affairs
and on the Senate floor. It will now
go through the House and will no
doubt go through another round of
amendments. I’ll keep giving you
updates on this area. It’s one of the
greatest tax increases in our state’s
history and you deserve to know!
As always, I invite you to contact
me with your questions and concerns. I may be reached at 605-6854241 or [email protected]

Vincent Schofield
Vincent “Vince” Schofield, age
68, of Midland, S.D., died February 10, 2015, at his home.
Vincent Eugene “Vince” or
“Vinny” Schofield was born March
24, 1946, in Midland, the son of
Joseph H. and Mary Ellen
(Gillaspie) Schofield.
He grew up in the Ottumwa
area and attended Ottumwa rural
school through the eighth grade
before going to Philip High School,
graduating in 1964. While in high
school, Vince was very active in
FFA, and was able to go to the National FFA convention.
After graduation, he worked on
the farm-ranch with his father
until 1971 when he moved to
Pierre. Vince worked construction
and ran a backhoe. After his father passed away in 1980, Vince
helped out on the ranch while still
living in Pierre.
In 1986, they purchased the
Clayton “Tuffy” Harry land near
the home place at Ottumwa. In
addition to running his own place,
Vince assisted in running the family operation three miles away. In
2009, they were awarded the Century Farm in Huron at the South
Dakota State Fair. In January
2013, Vince sold most of his cattle,
and “semi-retired”.
Sports were a big part of Vince’s
life. He enjoyed any sport and
when he couldn’t play the sport,
he watched intensely. He thoroughly enjoyed the family football
trip to Minnesota this fall to
watch the Vikings play the Patriots. Vince was a mentor to his
nieces and nephews, and led by
example. He was always willing to
work the hardest, and never expected anyone to outwork him. He
kept a small “hobby” herd so he
could continue to teach the grandchildren life lessons on the ranch.
He also took that time to work on
the home place repairing fences
along with other things.
Vince was a solid rock in the
family, and was the happiest when
the whole family got together. His
greatest enjoyment was spending
time with his children and grandchildren.
Survivors include his wife,
Mary, Midland; a daughter, Vicki
Daly and her husband, Brennan,
Midland; two grandchildren, John
and Brett Daly; two brothers,
Donald Schofield and his wife, Bobette, Milesville, and Lawrence
Schofield and his wife, Ronda,
Midland; six sisters, Peggy
Garoutte and her husband, Harry,
Meridian, Idaho, Joanne Menning
and her husband, Simon, Ft.
Pierre, Cecelia Kotilnek and her
husband, Tom, Pierre, Rita Anker
and her husband, Monte, Murdo,
Debra Prouty and her husband,
Joe, Philip, and Mary Hengstler of
Sundance, Wyo.; and a host of
other relatives and friends.
Vince was preceded in death by
his son, Michael Schofield; his
parents; a sister in infancy; five
brothers-in-law, Tim Riggins, Ron
Gillaspie, Conrad Gillaspie, Jim
Hoyt and Orris Skogen; and numerous beloved cousins.
Visitation will be held Thursday, February 19, from 5:00 to
7:00 p.m. with a prayer service at
7:00 p.m., all at St. William
Catholic Church in Midland.
Mass of Christian Burial will be
celebrated Friday, February 20, at
10:00 a.m. at St. William Catholic
Church in Midland, with Father
Kevin Achbach as celebrant.
Interment will follow at the
Midland Cemetery.
Rush Funeral Home of Philip is
in charge of arrangements. His
online guestbook is available at

Now I Lay Me Down to
Sleep
This year I celebrate another
birthday. The only thing I am
wrestling with is which birthday
am I going to celebrate? I have so
many from which to choose, it is
hard to pick out the birthday I
want to celebrate.
I believe, since it is my birthday,
I have the option and right to pick
which birthday I am going to celebrate.
In thinking this matter over, I
have been tempted to celebrate my
first birthday because I have no
memories of that birthday whatsoever.
To celebrate my first birthday
would be a rather awesome thing.
The first birthday is celebrating
the beginning of your life. However, the thing that makes it somewhat crazy is, at that time in life
you do not know what to think
about as far as life is concerned.
As I think about celebrating my
first birthday, I thought about sitting on the floor in diapers, drooling, while everybody is singing
happy birthday to me. That picture kinda cancels any desire I
Employment At-Will
Under South Dakota law, employment is considered “at-will,”
meaning that “employment may
be terminated at the will of either
party.” Consequently, an employee
may quit – and an employer may
terminate a worker – for any reason or for no reason at all. There
are four exceptions to the at-will
doctrine: (1) terminations that
contravene public policy; (2) employees with express or implied
“for-cause-only” agreements; (3)
an employee who accepts employment upon the promise of a future
promotion; and (4) terminations in
violation of state or federal law. If
an exception is applicable, a terminated employee may have a claim
for wrongful termination against
employer.
Public Policy Exception. This is
implicated when the employer’s
motivation for a discharge “contravenes some substantial public policy.” Public policy may be found in
constitutional provisions, statutes,
or case law. To date, the South
Dakota Supreme Court has only
recognized three types of terminations that violate public policy: retaliation for filing a worker’s
compensation claim; retaliation
for failure to commit a crime; and
retaliation for whistleblowing that
“serves a public purpose.”
Express or Implied Agreements
“For Cause Only.” An employer
and employee may expressly contract around the at-will doctrine
and agree that a termination will

may impliedly agree to a for-causeonly arrangement, but this is only

How to Build Truth Into Your Life
CONCORDIA LUTHERAN
Kadoka • 837-2390
Sunday Services: 10:00 a.m.
John 8:31-32 - “So Jesus was saying to those Jews who had believed Him,
“If you continue in My word, then you are truly disciples of Mine; and you will
know the truth, and the truth will make you free.”
Because there’s so much deception in our world, it is essential that we become
grounded in the Scriptures. Some believers have accepted erroneous ideas simply because they haven’t incorporated truth into their thinking and lifestyle.
But how do we go about building a firm foundation of righteousness?
The first step is to recognize that going to church and listening to sermons is
not enough. You need a desire and commitment to begin letting God’s Word
shape your mind, emotions, and will. Think of an area of need, interest, or struggle in your life. Now find a passage in the Bible that addresses that situation.
For example, if someone has hurt you, find verses about forgiveness. If you don’t
know where to look, check a concordance or the back of your Bible for a subject
list.
As you read the passage, look for God’s instructions, and begin doing what
He says. Then observe the results. What has the Lord done in your life? Did
you discover anything new about Him or His ways? Once you've experienced
the blessing of obedience in that area, you will be ready to apply what the Lord
reveals about other aspects of your life. I have found that a good way to plant
these truths firmly in the heart is to write them down and review them regularly.
One benefit of building truth into your life is freedom. Areas of sin or feelings
of insecurity and inadequacy hamper us in so many ways. But when we believe
Scripture and act on its truth rather than on the basis of our emotions or desires, we’ll realize that the Lord can overpower whatever holds us captive.
www.intouch.org
for employee discipline or discharge and a mandatory and specific procedure that the employer
agrees to follow prior to any employee’s termination.”
Promise of Future Promotion.
If an employee accepts a job because of the employer’s promise of
a future promotion to a certain position, that employee will taken
out of the at-will doctrine.
Statutory Protections. There
are a host of federal laws protecting workers. Some such laws prohibit terminations based on an
employee’s race, gender, religion,
pregnancy, age, or disability; an
employee’s opposition to an employment practice; or a military
member’s call to active duty. The
at-will doctrine will not shield terminations that otherwise violate
federal or state law, such as those
described above.

As I was taking my nap and just
before I slipped off into la-la land,
I thought about how old I really
am. I am old enough so that I can
take a nap in the afternoon without anyone thinking anything negative about it. If that is not
something to celebrate, I don’t
know what is.
I am not quite sure how old I
was when my parents taught me a
little prayer for when you go to
bed. It began, “Now I lay me down
to sleep.” If only I could remember
how old I was when I learned that,
I would celebrate that birthday.
I have not come to any conclusion about which birthday to celebrate this year, but I do plan to
celebrate this whole idea concerning sleep.
When I was very young, I would
fall asleep whenever and not think
anything of it. As I got older, it became embarrassing for someone to
catch me napping. Then, I passed
a certain milestone in life; I do not
know which milestone it was,
where I am not embarrassed anymore for anybody catching me
asleep.
I think that is what I am celebrating this year. At my birthday
party, right after the cake, everyone will join me in taking a nap.
David understood the importance asleep when he wrote, “It is
vain for you to rise up early, to sit
up late, to eat the bread of sorrows: for so he giveth his beloved
sleep” (Psalm 127:2).
What puts you to sleep is a good
indication of what kind of person
you are.

if I was around at that time, I may
not know what is going on around
me.
Then
another
disturbing
thought entered my head. Just
like my first birthday on my 100th
birthday, I could be sitting on the
floor in diapers, drooling, while
everybody around me is singing
happy birthday. I do not think we
want to go there.
Before I can make any real decisions along this line, I think I am
going to have to take a little nap.

Farm Service Agency| June Huston,
Winner Regional Extension Center | Bob Fanning, Plant Pathology Field Specialist 842-1267
County Executive Director, 859-2186 ext. 2
Important ARC/PLC Program
Deadlines Approaching
Producers are reminded that the
deadline to update yield history
and/or reallocate base acres is Feb.
27, 2015. Farm owners and producers can choose between the new
2014 Farm Bill established programs, Agriculture Risk Coverage
(ARC) and Price Loss Coverage
(PLC) through March 31, 2015. The
new programs, designed to help
producers better manage risk,
usher in one of the most significant
reforms to U.S. farm programs in
decades.
USDA helped create online tools
to assist in the decision process, allowing farm owners and producers
to enter information about their operation and see projections that
show what ARC and/or PLC will
mean for them under possible future scenarios. Farm owners and
producers can access the online resources,
available
at
www.fsa.usda.gov/arc-plc, from the
convenience of their home computer or mobile device at any time.
Covered commodities include
barley, canola, large and small
chickpeas, corn, crambe, flaxseed,
grain sorghum, lentils, mustard
seed, oats, peanuts, dry peas, rapeseed, long grain rice, medium grain
rice (which includes short grain
rice), safflower seed, sesame, soybeans, sunflower seed and wheat.
Upland cotton is no longer a covered commodity.
Dates associated with ARC and
PLC that farm owners and producers need to know:
Now through Feb. 27, 2015:
Farm owners may visit their local
Farm Service Agency office to update yield history and/or reallocate
base acres.
Now through March 31, 2015:
Producers make a one-time election
between ARC and PLC for the 2014
through 2018 crop years.
Mid-April 2015 through summer
2015: Producers sign contracts for
2014 and 2015 crop years.
October 2015: Payments issued
for 2014 crop year, if needed.
To learn more about which
safety net options are most appropriate for specific farming operations, farmers can use new Web
tools at www.fsa.usda.gov/arc-plc,
which can be accessed from the convenience of a home computer or a
mobile device at any time. To learn
more about upcoming educational
meetings, farmers can contact their
local Farm Service Agency county
office
at
http://offices.sc.egov.usda.gov/locator/app.
Non-Insured Assistance
Program (NAP) Sales
Closing Date
NAP provides financial assistance to producers of noninsurable
crops when low yields or prevented
planting occur due to natural disasters. Eligible producers can apply
for 2015 NAP coverage at the local
county FSA Office using form CCC471, Application for Coverage. Producers must file the application
and pay the service fee by March
16th, 2015. The service fee is the
lesser of $250 per crop or $750 per
producer per administrative county,
not to exceed a total of $1875 for a
producer with farming interests in
multiple counties. Also included in the new Farm
Bill is the opportunity for producers
to purchase Buy-up coverage on
NAP crops. The basic coverage
under NAP includes a 50% yield
level coverage at a 55% price. Buyup can be purchased in increments
of 5% up to a 65% coverage of yield
and up to a 100% price level. In addition to the service fee, producers
who elect buy-up coverage must
pay a premium equal to the lesser
of 5.25% of the guarantee or 5.25%
of the payment limit of $125,000.
Selected Interest Rates for
February 2015
Commodity Loans - 1.250%
Farm Operating Loans: Direct 2.625%
Farm Ownership Loans: Direct 3.750%
Farm Ownership Loans: Direct
Down Payment, Beginning Farmer

Farm Storage Facility Loans: 10

Farm Storage Facility Loans: 12
Yr - 2.125% New Farm Bill Offers
Increased Opportunities for
Producers
The 2014 Farm Bill offers increased opportunities for producers
including farm loan program modifications that create flexibility for
new and existing farmers. A fact
sheet outlining modifications to the
U.S. Department of Agriculture’s
(USDA) Farm Service Agency
(FSA) Farm Loan Programs is
available here.
The Farm Bill expands lending
opportunities for thousands of
farmers and ranchers to begin and
continue operations, including
greater flexibility in determining
eligibility, raising loan limits, and
emphasizing beginning and socially
disadvantaged producers. Changes that will take effect immediately include:
•Elimination of the 15 year term
limit for guaranteed operating
loans.
•Modification of the definition of
beginning farmer, using the average farm size for the county as a
qualifier instead of the median
farm size.
•Modification of the Joint Financing Direct Farm Ownership
Interest Rate to 2 percent less than
regular Direct Farm Ownership
rate, with a floor of 2.5 percent.
Previously, the rate was established
at 5 percent.
•Increase of the maximum loan
amount for Direct Farm Ownership
Down Payment Loan Program from
$225,000 to $300,000.
•Elimination of rural residency
requirement for Youth Loans, allowing urban youth to benefit.
•Debt forgiveness on Youth
Loans, which will not prevent borrowers from obtaining additional
loans from the federal government.
Increase of the guaranteed percentage on Conservation Loans from 75
to 80 percent and 90 percent for socially disadvantaged borrowers and
beginning farmers.
•Microloans will not count toward direct operating loan term
limits for veterans and beginning
farmers.
Additional modifications must
be implemented through the rulemaking processes. Visit the FSA
Farm Bill website for detailed information and updates to farm loan
programs.
Retirement?
I’ve started to have people tell
me they’ve heard I’m retiring from
SDSU Extension, so although my
last day in the office is a couple of
weeks away, this is my last news
column. Retiring is always something I’ve heard people talk about
with mixed emotions, but it wasn’t
until recently that I gave it serious
thought. I would admit that several
times over the last several years, I
debated whether I would address
my retirement in this column or
simply quit writing them and fade
away. Right or wrong, I decided to
make it known. I sometimes wondered if anybody really read this
column, but it has amazed me how
many times people have called for
more information or just told me
over the phone or at meetings that
they read it regularly. That certainly helps motivate one to keep
writing.
One of the reasons for announcing my retirement via this column
is to thank the many people who
asked questions over the years,
whether it was in the field, at meetings, during office visits, over a cup
of coffee, on the phone or via e-mail.
These questions not only led to numerous news column topics, but researching answers to the ones I
hadn’t been asked before contributed as much or more to what I
know today as my college education.
In reality, the “education” didn’t
always come from researching
questions. There were a number of
situations, particularly during my
early years as a County Extension
Agent, where farmers and ranchers
taught me, and often in a subtle
way. Sometimes I was smart
enough to recognize this, but there
were also cases when I thought I
was pretty smart and didn’t understand the learning opportunity
until sometime later. I guess that
was part of my “education” too.
Another reason for announcing
my retirement through this column
is to encourage farmers, ranchers,
gardeners, homeowners, etc. to use
SDSU Extension. SDSU has many,
highly qualified Extension Specialists and Field Specialists that can
be extremely helpful in answering
your questions, and finding the answers to the questions you ask
makes them that much more
knowledgeable. And of course the
information you receive is unbiased
and science based. The re-organization of the Cooperative Extension
Service in South Dakota to SDSU
Extension and the establishment of
eight Regional Extension Centers
has removed some of the personal
touch that existed with the County
Extension Agent system, but the
person who has the answer to your
questions is still accessible. The
iGrow website: www.igrow.org contains a wealth of information and
new material is added on a regular
basis. The “County Agent’s” or “Extension Home Economist’s” weekly
news column is a thing of the past
in South Dakota, but the articles in
iGrow have done a respectable job
of replacing them. If you don’t find
the answer to your question there,
the link, “Field Staff Listing”:
http://igrow.org/about/our-experts/
provides contact information for
every Extension person in the
state.
Although I will be retiring from
Hours
SDSU Extension, like many people
do in this day and age, I’m not
going to sit in my recliner, but begin
a new career. What I have learned
researching answers to the questions many of you have asked will
be very valuable.
