26 Ag Roundup January 2013 A Little Bit Country Soil Health Topic Offered For Wheat Show By Warren Froelich NDSU Extension Agent, Williams County During last year's Wheat Show, many crop producers came just to learn more about soil health and how it can impact productivity of the land and profits on the farm. Since then many of the attendees urged members of the Wheat Show planning committee to include more information on soil health during the February, 2013 event. So this year's Wheat Show will feature two speakers who will address the components of soil quality and how certain farming practices specific to western and eastern Montana can make soils in these areas more productive and profitable. In addition, one of the speakers, Chris Augustin, area NDSU Extension Soil Health Specialist, is offering to test producer's soil for salinity during the Wheat Show. To accomplish this, Augustin suggests sampling the soil from a handful of spots in a field, mix the soil and place it in a small dish on a sunny windowsill for a few days to allow the sample USDA Announces Disaster Assistance Sign-up for 2011 Crop Losses Submitted by Dan Janes Communications Coordinator USDA Farm Service Agency North Dakota USDA Farm Service Agency State Executive Director Aaron Krauter recently announced that producers can enroll in the Supplemental Revenue Assistance Payments (SURE) program for 2011 crop year losses beginning Oct. 22, 2012. Under the 2008 Farm Bill, SURE authorizes assistance to farmers and ranchers who suffered crop losses caused by natural disasters occurring through Sept. 30, 2011. “Eligible producers who experienced a 2011 crop loss can contact their local county FSA office to learn more about the SURE program,” said Krauter. “All eligible farmers and ranchers must sign up for 2011 SURE benefits before the June 7, 2013 deadline,” he said. To qualify for a SURE payment, the producer’s operation must be located in a county that was declared a disaster for 2011 and have at least a 10 percent production loss that affects one crop of economic significance. Producers with agricultural operations located to melt and dry. Then place the sample in a zip-lock plastic bag and bring it to the Wheat Show. The test will only take a few minutes. There will be no charge for the test. Salts are native to North Dakota's glaciated mineology. They affect soil health and this quick test gives farmers an idea of how bad it is and what can be done to fix the problem. Rick Bieber, a Trail City, SD farmer, has offered to share how he has improved soil health and productivity of his farm located north of Pierre, SD. Rick works closely with the researchers of South Dakota State University. He believes yields of annual crops can be substantially increased through the implementation of farming practices that mimic Mother Nature. He tries to accomplish this through specific crop rotations and the maintenance of live root systems. Rick brings with him a long time experience with no-till farming practices, speaking engagements around the world and as a consultant to farmers in the Dakotas and Montana. outside a disaster county are eligible for SURE benefits if they had a production loss greater or equal to 50 percent of the normal production on the farm. All counties in North Dakota either received a primary Secretarial Disaster Designation or were contiguous to a designated county. To meet program eligibility requirements, producers must have obtained a policy or plan of insurance for all insurable crops through the Federal Crop Insurance Corporation and obtained Noninsured Crop Disaster Assistance Program (NAP) coverage on noninsurable crops, if available, from FSA. Eligible farmers and ranchers who meet the definition of a socially disadvantaged, limited resource or beginning farmer or rancher do not have to meet this requirement. Forage crops intended for grazing are not eligible for SURE benefits. For more information on SURE program eligibility requirements contact your local FSA office or visit the SURE website at http://www.fsa.usda.gov/sure.
