Mid-America Alfalfa Expo & Conference

07 Feb 2012 07:00:00 GMT

Buffalo Co. Fairgrounds, Kearney, NE
Tuesday, February 7 – Wednesday, February 8, 2012

Well-known commentator, columnist and ag advocate Trent Loos will address the Mid-America Alfalfa Expo & Conference on Tuesday, Feb. 7.
“I’m going to talk about the sustainability of alfalfa production but not from a yield per acre point of view,” Loos said. “Instead, I’ll talk about how we can continue to do what farmers in the United States do better than anyone else in the world: convert natural resources into human consumable products that ultimately improve human lives.”
Loos said the challenges surrounding this effort have never been greater.
“We have two choices,” he said. “We can sit back and let the forces that be continue to create hurdles, or we can step up to the plate and be heard. The answer to the challenges lies in the person you look at in the mirror.”
Loos travels the country motivating and educating audiences on issues related to animal agriculture and food production. He also records and produces radio reports that air on more than 100 stations across the country and reach a listening audience of 4 million people. These radio programs includes daily Loos Tales and Rural Route programming, as well as Dakota Trails & Tales, Colorado Trails & Tales, Loos Trails & Tales and Illinois Truth be Told.
Raised on a diversified farm near Quincy, IL, Loos entered the hog business at a young age and has been involved in livestock production ever since. He and his wife Kelli operate a purebred Limousin and Angus herd while raising their three daughters on their ranch in central Nebraska.
Other speakers include Al Dutcher, Nebraska climatologist; Ron Hansen, University of Nebraska-Lincoln (UNL) ag economics professor; and Rick Rasby, UNL cattle feeding expert.
One of the most significant items on the agenda is the introduction of the Alfalfa Valuation Analysis, a powerful new approach to the standardization of alfalfa quality and value that has been developed by NAMA.
Registration includes admission to all presentations and programs, a Tuesday afternoon reception, dinner Tuesday evening, admission to the large alfalfa industry tradeshow and the opportunity to bid in the fundraising auction that takes place Tuesday afternoon. The auction features a wide range of items including seed, harvesting equipment, supplies and other valuable products and services.
Registration is $10 per person in advance (tickets must be purchased by Noon, Feb. 6, 2012) and $20 at the door. Participants under the age of 18 are admitted at no charge. Registration is available online at www.alfalfaexpo.com.

Event description: Sponsored by the Nebraska Alfalfa Marketing Association (NAMA), the Mid-America Alfalfa Expo & Conference will be held at the Buffalo County Fairgrounds in Kearney, NE, Feb. 7-8, 2012. The event is designed especially for alfalfa producers, livestock/dairy producers and others who are involved in alfalfa production, purchasing, hay feeding or processing.

The sessions will have a combination of presentations via the North Dakota Interactive Video Network (IVN) and local experts at each location. Attending all three sessions is very important.
Topics for the first session are why you should plan your estate, who should be involved, what materials you’ll need and the importance of communication among family members. The IVN presenter will be Gary Goreham, professor of rural sociology in the Department of Sociology and Anthropology at NDSU.
Session 2 will cover farm business arrangements, including the pros and cons of different types of business organizations for farmers and ranchers in North Dakota.
Session 3 will address farm succession planning, and tax and economic consequences of asset transfer strategies. The IVN presenter for both sessions 2 and 3 will be Andy Zenk, agribusiness consultant, AgCountry/Farm Credit Services, Grand Forks

NDSU Farmland Leasing Workshop

13 Feb 2012 19:00:00 GMT

Carrington Research Extension Center, Carrington, ND
Monday, February 13, 2012, 12 – 3pm

The workshops are offered to help landowners and renters identify and manage the risk associated with rental arrangements. Dwight Aakre and Andy Swenson, Extension farm management specialists, and Willie Huot, Grand Forks County Extension agent, will be the main presenters.
The workshops are approximately three hours long. One of the topics is a historical perspective on farmland values and rents, with emphasis on causal factors and future risks. Concepts and practical examples of how to determine equitable rents also will be presented.
The main session will help participants better understand different rental arrangements, such as cash rent, share rent and flexible cash rent.
“There has been increased interest in flexible cash rental arrangements,” Swenson said. “This session will show how a flexible cash rent agreement can be designed to try to meet the desired income and risk levels of both the landowner and renter. Examples of various methods of adjusting the cash rent level will be discussed.”
There will be a session on how producers can improve their land rental negotiations by enhancing the communication process with landowners. This includes the use of resumes, portfolios and frequent communication to keep landowners informed and educated about the operation and vision for a particular tract of land. Some communication pieces will be showcased as examples.
Dates and locations of the workshops are:
• Jan. 30 – Drake, Knights of Columbus Club, 1 to 4 p.m.
• Feb. 13 – Carrington Research Extension Center, 1 to 4 p.m.
• Feb. 15 – Lisbon, Ransom County Courthouse Community Room, 1 to 4 p.m.

Begins with you and your horse in your town.
Wednesday, February 15, 2012 – Thursday, February 14, 2013

Event description: Purpose : A pilgrimage across America by horse or horse and trailer to alert the public about the dire curcumstances our horses are in concerning horse slaughter ., Events can also be organized within a persons own district for those who cannot join the ride. The ride begins now from town to cities across America and is on going until horse slaughter is stopped in the USA and wild horse round-ups come to a halt until an independant evaluation of the number of wild horses on BLM public lands can be verified. There are two bills in Congress that would stop horse slaughter in the US, SB 727 and HR 503, the Equine Cruelty Prevention Act. You can read this act for yourselves at tomas.gov, type in the search bar S.727., These bills do not prevent people from killing their own horses. It just prevents slaughter plants from re-opening because of the inherent cruelties that orginally shut them down four years ago., Many horse owners do not want their horses to go to slaughter when they sell them but too many of them do and will continue to do so as long as people sell them at auctions and horse killers buy them. and this tragedy can now be stopped., The pilgrimage will converge ,ongoing to Washington DC where people and horses will alert our representatives that we want horse slaughter stopped., Come join in on a great horse adventure!

Ransom County Courthouse Community Room, Lisbon, ND
Wednesday, February 15, 2012, 12 – 3pm

The workshops are offered to help landowners and renters identify and manage the risk associated with rental arrangements. Dwight Aakre and Andy Swenson, Extension farm management specialists, and Willie Huot, Grand Forks County Extension agent, will be the main presenters.
The workshops are approximately three hours long. One of the topics is a historical perspective on farmland values and rents, with emphasis on causal factors and future risks. Concepts and practical examples of how to determine equitable rents also will be presented.
The main session will help participants better understand different rental arrangements, such as cash rent, share rent and flexible cash rent.
“There has been increased interest in flexible cash rental arrangements,” Swenson said. “This session will show how a flexible cash rent agreement can be designed to try to meet the desired income and risk levels of both the landowner and renter. Examples of various methods of adjusting the cash rent level will be discussed.”
There will be a session on how producers can improve their land rental negotiations by enhancing the communication process with landowners. This includes the use of resumes, portfolios and frequent communication to keep landowners informed and educated about the operation and vision for a particular tract of land. Some communication pieces will be showcased as examples.
Dates and locations of the workshops are:

Soil Health & Cover Crop Workshop

15 Feb 2012 19:00:00 GMT

AmericInn, Chamberlain, SD (Exit 265)
Wednesday, February 15, 2012, 12 – 4pm

Jay Fuhrer and Paul Brown from Burleigh County, North Dakota will be the speakers for the workshop. Jay will have two presentations; the first is titled “It’s Not Dirt Anymore” and the second will be “Soil Health Case Studies”. Also Paul Brown, who ranches near Bismarck, North Dakota, will make a presentation, entitled “Utilizing Livestock as a Regenerative Tool”.
Jay Fuhrer is a Conservationist employed by the Natural Resources Conservation Service, in Bismarck, North Dakota. Growing up on a small grain and livestock farm, Jay’s interests have always centered on agriculture. Jay emphasizes Soil Health as a foundation for cropping systems, grazing systems, and cover crops when working with Burleigh County producers. Information and Education activities strive to utilize a team approach with farmers talking to farmers about Soil Health. Jay’s interest in soil health has resulted in numerous speaking engagements within the US and also includes Canada, France and Russia.
Paul Brown ranches along with his father Gabe on Brown’s Ranch near Bismarck, ND. The operation spans 5,000 acres, approximately of which half is perennial grazing land and half annual cropland. Each year, a diverse symbiosis of cover crops is used to enhance soil health on the cropland. The livestock that reside on the ranch are used as a tool to regenerate landscapes. Combining the two is proving to be very beneficial both economically and ecologically. Paul will share how he is utilizing high stock densities to achieve desirable outcomes on the cropland and grazing land. Title of the presentation: Utilizing Livestock as a Regenerative Tool

8th Annual Spirit of the West Cowboy Gathering

16 Feb 2012 07:00:00 GMT

Ellensburg, WA
Thursday, February 16 – Sunday, February 19, 2012

Spirit of the West has been held annually since 2005. Attendees travel from throughout the region and nation to experience and celebrate the western traditions and cowboy way of life.
One of the highlights at this year’s event is the Chuck Wagon Cook Off competition.
“It’s the chuckwagon cook-off that I can’t wait to see, smell and taste. We’ll have camp cooks and their historic wagons arriving from a number of western states – all coming to demonstrate their own unique culinary talents using old-time Dutch oven methods. They’ll feed a hungry crowd, and the best of them will take away some top prizes,” said Keith McGowan, Chair of Spirit of the West Cowboy Gathering Event Committee.
Chuckwagons from Washington, Idaho, Oregon, Montana, British Columbia and Alberta have been invited to participate this year. This event, in cooperation with the Pacific Northwest Chapter of the American Chuck Wagon Association (ACWA), will have authentic and restored chuck wagons demonstrating cooking methods and a cook-off competition for the finale. Some of the wagons are Army Surplus Wagons and others have traveled the Oregon Trail. Chuckwagons are still used on ranches today. The flavors and styles of each chuckwagon crew are sure to please the crowd. Meal tickets are limited for this event.
Spirit of the West is excited to have Michael Martin Murphey leading the entertainment line up for 2012. He has recorded over 35 albums and is considered one of America’s most popular cowboy singer/songwriters. Other main stage entertainers include Dave Stamey, Bar J Wranglers, Brenn Hill, Adrian, Chris Isaacs, Sourdough Slim, Gary Allegretto and Carin Mari. Spirit of the West is proud to announce an additional concert held in cooperation with Central Washington University and the CWU Symphony Orchestra. This concert will contain a Colonial Suite, Civil War Suite, and a Western Americana Suite.
As if the entertainment wasn’t enough, a Gear and Art show will also take place, with a series of demonstrations of traditional crafts. The Saturday night dance featuring The Saddle Cats, a California-based band who embrace the worlds of swing, cowboy ballads, blues, Tin Pan Alley, honky-tonk, string band music, polka and just about any Western style under the sun. Saddle up to dance the night away!
“I love the Spirit of the West Cowboy Gathering! I guess one reason is my favorite event changes with each year’s new offerings. I first discovered the Spirit of the West through the free downtown venues. Knew some of the performers, having been introduced to them on trail rides, pack trips, and campfires. I really enjoy good guitar picking, traditional trail songs and the wit of the cowboy poets,” adds Keith McGowan enthusiastically.

Event description: Hundreds of fans of the western way of life will come to Ellensburg, WA, wearing their cowboy finest for the 8th Annual Spirit of the West Cowboy gathering, Feb. 16-19, 2012. The best of cowboy culture including music, poetry, art and chuckwagon cooking will assemble for this event.

The sessions will have a combination of presentations via the North Dakota Interactive Video Network (IVN) and local experts at each location. Attending all three sessions is very important.
Topics for the first session are why you should plan your estate, who should be involved, what materials you’ll need and the importance of communication among family members. The IVN presenter will be Gary Goreham, professor of rural sociology in the Department of Sociology and Anthropology at NDSU.
Session 2 will cover farm business arrangements, including the pros and cons of different types of business organizations for farmers and ranchers in North Dakota.
Session 3 will address farm succession planning, and tax and economic consequences of asset transfer strategies. The IVN presenter for both sessions 2 and 3 will be Andy Zenk, agribusiness consultant, AgCountry/Farm Credit Services, Grand Forks

NDSU Farmland Leasing Workshop

17 Feb 2012 15:00:00 GMT

Country Club, Cooperstown, ND
Friday, February 17, 2012, 8 – 11am

The workshops are offered to help landowners and renters identify and manage the risk associated with rental arrangements. Dwight Aakre and Andy Swenson, Extension farm management specialists, and Willie Huot, Grand Forks County Extension agent, will be the main presenters.
The workshops are approximately three hours long. One of the topics is a historical perspective on farmland values and rents, with emphasis on causal factors and future risks. Concepts and practical examples of how to determine equitable rents also will be presented.
The main session will help participants better understand different rental arrangements, such as cash rent, share rent and flexible cash rent.
“There has been increased interest in flexible cash rental arrangements,” Swenson said. “This session will show how a flexible cash rent agreement can be designed to try to meet the desired income and risk levels of both the landowner and renter. Examples of various methods of adjusting the cash rent level will be discussed.”
There will be a session on how producers can improve their land rental negotiations by enhancing the communication process with landowners. This includes the use of resumes, portfolios and frequent communication to keep landowners informed and educated about the operation and vision for a particular tract of land. Some communication pieces will be showcased as examples.
Dates and locations of the workshops are:
• Jan. 30 – Drake, Knights of Columbus Club, 1 to 4 p.m.

The Great American Horse Pilgrimage

22 Feb 2012 07:00:00 GMT

Begins with you and your horse in your town.
Wednesday, February 22, 2012 – Thursday, February 21, 2013

Event description: Purpose : A pilgrimage across America by horse or horse and trailer to alert the public about the dire curcumstances our horses are in concerning horse slaughter ., Events can also be organized within a persons own district for those who cannot join the ride. The ride begins now from town to cities across America and is on going until horse slaughter is stopped in the USA and wild horse round-ups come to a halt until an independant evaluation of the number of wild horses on BLM public lands can be verified. There are two bills in Congress that would stop horse slaughter in the US, SB 727 and HR 503, the Equine Cruelty Prevention Act. You can read this act for yourselves at tomas.gov, type in the search bar S.727., These bills do not prevent people from killing their own horses. It just prevents slaughter plants from re-opening because of the inherent cruelties that orginally shut them down four years ago., Many horse owners do not want their horses to go to slaughter when they sell them but too many of them do and will continue to do so as long as people sell them at auctions and horse killers buy them. and this tragedy can now be stopped., The pilgrimage will converge ,ongoing to Washington DC where people and horses will alert our representatives that we want horse slaughter stopped., Come join in on a great horse adventure!

NDSU Farmland Leasing Workshop

22 Feb 2012 20:00:00 GMT

McKenzie County Courthouse, Watford City, ND
Wednesday, February 22, 2012, 1 – 4pm

The workshops are offered to help landowners and renters identify and manage the risk associated with rental arrangements. Dwight Aakre and Andy Swenson, Extension farm management specialists, and Willie Huot, Grand Forks County Extension agent, will be the main presenters.
The workshops are approximately three hours long. One of the topics is a historical perspective on farmland values and rents, with emphasis on causal factors and future risks. Concepts and practical examples of how to determine equitable rents also will be presented.
The main session will help participants better understand different rental arrangements, such as cash rent, share rent and flexible cash rent.
“There has been increased interest in flexible cash rental arrangements,” Swenson said. “This session will show how a flexible cash rent agreement can be designed to try to meet the desired income and risk levels of both the landowner and renter. Examples of various methods of adjusting the cash rent level will be discussed.”
There will be a session on how producers can improve their land rental negotiations by enhancing the communication process with landowners. This includes the use of resumes, portfolios and frequent communication to keep landowners informed and educated about the operation and vision for a particular tract of land. Some communication pieces will be showcased as examples.
Dates and locations of the workshops are:
• Jan. 30 – Drake, Knights of Columbus Club, 1 to 4 p.m.
