4 Agriculture & Outdoor Life USDA Up date By Eads USDA Ser vice Cen ter Wind, Wind Go Away What a wild cou ple of weeks with the wind. In con sult ing with an area in - sur ance agent, your crop in - sur ance will most likely not re lease the dam aged wheat un til af ter April 1st. Crop in - surance will allow chiseling of 25% of the unit with out con sult ing your agent. CRP Signup 43 Mail ing The of fice re ceived no ti fi - ca tion last week that the State FSA Of fice re ceived a min i mal amount of post age money for fis cal year There fore, the de ter mi na - tion has been made that the only notification producers will re ceive in re gards to CRP signup 43 will be their notification letter of expiring con tract(s). Other pro duc - ers interested in enrolling land that is cur rently be ing farmed will NOT be no ti fied by FSA of the signup. Those producers will receive their no ti fi ca tion from the me dia in form of news pa pers and ra dio sta tions. This low al lo - ca tion of post age funds for FSA will also af fect cur rent CRP participants. The office will be very lim ited on mail - ing the CRP in for ma tion out to you. Those peo ple will need to sup ply the of fice with their ad dresses, find ac cess to a fax ma - chine, or find an FSA of fice close to you that you can visit to com plete the re - quired pa per work. Options for CRP Enrollment CRP pro duc ers have been call ing or mail ing the of fice ask ing for their CRP in for - ma tion to be mailed to them. We wish it that was that easy to sign up for CRP, how ever there are de ci sions that need to be made. All con tracts ac cepted will have to com plete a mid-con tract man age ment in the 5th or 6th year of the con tract. The of fice staff has been field ing ques tions in re gards to the ne ces sity of having a local operator on your CRP. The mid-con tract main te nance is a valid rea - son to re tain an op er a tor for the CRP. If an owner is liv ing out of state it can be very dif fi cult for the owner to se - cure a farmer to com plete the en hance ments and com plete the mid-con tract main te nance. The County Com mit tee urges all own ers Annual Membership Meeting Eads Golf Association 7:00 p.m. Monday, March 5 at the Club House! 4 KiowaCountyPress.com March 2, 2012 to re tain an op er a tor on the CRP con tract. The per cent shares can be ne go ti ated be tween the op er a tor and the owner. The EBI (Environmental Ben e fit In dex) num ber is the num ber that Wash ing - ton will use to rank the of - fers af ter the end of signup. The higher the EBI num ber the better chances of the of - fer be ing ac cepted. There - fore, it is im per a tive that owners and operators alike de ter mine the op tion that best fits their sit u a tion. EBI (Environmental Ben - efit Index) The rank ing sys tem FSA uses to rank the of fers. The fac tors that are as sessed are; *Wild life hab i tat ben e fits resulting from covers on con tract acre age (N1), there are three sub fac tors to the N1 fac tor; on1a, - Wild life hab i tat cover ben e fits on1b, - Wild life en hance - ment monocultures or pollinators only on1c, - Wild life Pri or ity Zone Wa ter qual ity ben e fits from reducing erosion (N2) On- farm ben e fits from re - duced ero sion (N3) Ben e fits that will likely en - dure be yond the con tract pe riod (N4) Air quality benefits from re duced wind ero sion (N5) * Cost (N6) * - Pro duc ers only have control of increasing points on these fac tors. All other fac tors are com puter gen er - ated and re main vir tu ally un changed. THIS IS THE DECISION THAT NEEDS TO BE MADE FIRST. How many points do I want for the N1 fac tor? 1) Do I want to cer tify to a 20 point stand? This means that you are cer ti fy ing to the pres ent cover of the grass es tab lished. 2) Or, do I want a 50 point stand? This means you will have to com plete en hance ments that NRCS will de ter mine at a later date. For the N1 - wild life hab i - tat. Ex am ple, if a pro ducer se lects a 50 point stand of wild life grass and if the bid is suc cess ful and is ac - cepted. NRCS will make a field visit to the prop erty and will de ter mine what needs to be done to the ex - ist ing cover to ob tain the 50 point cover. All 50 point stands con tain forbs, which for Ki owa County has been a dry land al falfa. NRCS could re quire the par tic i - pant to disk 50% of the land twice and plant a forb and pos si bly an other grass mix or two. OPTION 1 Let the con - tract ex pire. Your fi nal pay - ment will be is sued in Oc to - ber of If you plan on farm ing the land you may do so be gin ning May 1, 2012, with a pay ment re - duc tion equal to two months. Af ter July 1, 2012, the pay ment re duc tion is no lon ger a fac tor. To be gin farm ing the land there is pa - perwork that producers need to com plete at both NRCS and FSA. OPTION 2 Pro duc ers can elect to of fer max i mum rental rate and not com plete any en hance ments to the land. You will be re quired to com plete a mid-con tract main te nance, which NRCS will dis cuss with the par tic i - pants. OPTION 3 Pro duc ers can elect to re duce the of - fered rental rate to gain ex - tra EBI points. For ex am ple a 15% re duc tion of rental rate will earn par tic i pants an ex tra 25 points on the N6 fac tor, which are the max i mum points that can be earned for this op tion. For ev ery per cent a pro - ducer re duces the rental rate, the of fer gen er ates an ex tra 2 points. This op tion re quires no en hance ments of the prop erty, just a mid-con tract main te nance. OPTION 4 Pro duc ers can elect to en hance the property. By enhancing the property, participants will gain ex tra EBI points on the N1 sub-fac tors. The rental rate that is of fered can be max i mum rental rate or re - duced; which will also gain ex tra EBI points for the N6 fac tor as ex plained in op tion 3. NASS Mails Ini tial Sur vey for 2012 Ag Census Producers and rural resi - dents across the na tion are re ceiv ing sur veys in their mail boxes as the first step toward conducting the 2012 Cen sus of Ag ri cul - ture. What it the Cen sus of Agriculture? Every five years, the USDA Na tional Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) takes a count of all ac tive farms and ranches. The information pro vided helps the gov ern - ment plan and cre ate pol i - cies that sup port ag ri cul ture and ru ral Amer ica. This ini - tial sur vey asks land own ers whether they are cur rently farm ing and other ba sic in - for ma tion. The of fice urges you to com plete your sur vey of Ag ri cul ture and to also as sist the nu mer a tors when they call upon you for in for - mation. The information that USDA com piles from this cen sus is in valu able to USDA. If farm ers and ranchers do not cooperate, then only the farmer and rancher suf fer when the pro grams that they need in times of drought or other nat u ral di sas ters aren t avail able due to the fact the USDA does n t have the num bers to sup port fund ing from Con gress. DCP Signup DCP operators whom have NOT com pleted their 2012 signup; once CRP signup be gins the DCP signup will be put on hold. The of fice cur rently does not have that staff to com plete the DCP signup along with the CRP signup. We urge you to get your signup com - pleted be fore March 12th. The of fice will not be gin DCP signup again un til af ter April 6th. The last day to Con tin ued on page 14

Lois McCracken had guests, Tom and Laurie Simmons from Den ver last Fri day. They are con duct ing a re search for the Ki owa County Historical Preserva - tion Commission. They came to in ter view Lois about the Towner Bus Trag - edy? Some stu dents were brought to Lois s fam ily s home south of Towner, Col - o rado, when they were fi - nally found in the snow. My Mother, Ida, said that on that same day the bliz zard started about noon at their coun try school about three miles from their home stead home. Her brother, Henry, be came lost in that bliz zard. His fa ther had told him that if he ever was lost let the reins loose of the horse and the horse would come home. So Un cle Henry ar - rived safely home. Ashlynn Miner and her mother, Patty, were here from Texas over the week - end to visit Lamar Com mu - nity Col lege in her col lege search.

Dawn James, mu sic ed u - ca tor, took four young la dies to try-outs for Honor band and Honor choir in Limon, Sat ur day. They were Nicole Smith, Alicia James, Brianna Sage, and Melanie Mar tin.

They along with Shealynn McCracken were an out stand ing trio all three days. Leisha Peck who is usu ally with them had to sit out be cause she had throat sur gery last week.

10 Eads Boys Qual ify For Re gion 3 Tour na ment Next Week By Betsy Barnett It is hard to imag ine that a 4-18 bas ket ball team could qual ify for the Sweet Six teen in the Boys 1A state bas ket ball tour - na ment but the Eads Ea - gles took care of the games they needed to over the past week and did just that; qual i fy ing for the Re gion 3 Tour na - ment to be held in Pueblo at the CSU-P Massari Arena on March 2nd and 3rd. Eads (#7, 4-18) will have to get by Cotopaxi (#6, 16-5) on Fri day night at 7:40 PM to get a chance to pull off their big gest hat trick of the sea son - de - feat ing the #1 ranked team in the state, the Walsh Ea gles in or der to get to the Big Dance at the Budweiser Events Cen ter in Loveland next week. To ad vance to this most unlikely scenario Eads took care of #3 Dis - trict-ranked Granada in a Tues day night quarterfinal shocker, This was a pretty big deal be cause Eads was ex pected to go qui - etly into the night like they had all sea son long. That win gave them a shot to ad vance to the Re - gion 3 tour na ment. In the semifinals Eads played with out ur gency and lost to the top-seeded Chey - enne Wells Ti gers, 59-38, to put them into the third place game against neigh bor ri vals Kit Car - son. One of these teams would be done for the sea - son and the other would earn a trip to Pueblo. Eads man aged to hang with the Wild cats and shocked the dis trict crowd by de feat ing KC, 59-38, and ad vanced to live another day. Eads came out flat against Granada early get ting be hind 9-3 by mid - way through the first pe - riod. How ever, as Granada con tin ued to al - low the Ea gles to hang around Eads gained more con fi dence and had one good min ute of play at the end of the first. They trailed 9-12 at that point, but Kyle Crow had just hit a three-ball and Eads walked back onto the court for the sec ond stanza with an air of con fi - dence. And con fi dent they were as they blew Granada out of the gym by halftime scor ing 18 points be hind a cou ple of jump ers by Crow and a three-ball and a deuce by Lo gan Smith. Eads would be in con trol at the in ter mis sion. The third quar ter was slow for both teams as nei ther team showed they wanted to go ahead and win the con - test. Eads had gained an - other point ad van tage by the end of three, 34-29, be - hind some work horse ef - fort un der the boards by Lo gan Crawford. How - ever, it was a crazy fi nal quar ter as Eads held the lead but Granada threat - ened late in the game and fi nally did take a two point ad van tage. The de cid ing point came when Granada stole the ball with just un der two min - utes and could have kept the lead for good but missed a wide open layup and then fouled on the re - bound. Eads Crow, Jose Ramos, and Crawford com bined to go 5-for-6 from the free throw line to seal the deal. Lo gan Smith added 11 points for Eads while Ramos fin ished with eight points. Lo gan Crawford had six points, and Ty ler Rouse and Cory Miller had four points apiece. It was rain ing on semi fi - nal night in the Lamar Com mu nity Build ing as Eads and Chey enne Wells com bined for 19 long balls that fell through the hoops. The Ti gers were on fire hit ting four long balls in the first pe riod and tak ing a strong 14-4 lead. Eads came roar ing back in the sec ond and elim i nated the big lead CW had by throw ing in five treys in clud ing one from Crow, two from Smith, and two more from Crawford. By halftime Eads was knock ing on the door, How ever, that was all the am mu ni tion Eads brought to the semi - fi nals as the sec ond half was all Chey enne Wells de spite fourth-quar ter threes from Ramos and Smith. Smith led in the scor ing for Eads with 11 points while Rouse added nine more. Both Miller and Crawford chipped in six more apiece. Eads came to play against Kit Car son and for the first pe riod it was a close con test de spite the fact that Eads jumped out early on the Wild cats. By the end of one pe riod Eads had a slight ad van - tage, But the sec ond quar ter has proved to be magic for Eads as they Con tin ued on page 11 Stu dents putt ing the fin ish ing touches on the FFA din - ner on Feb ru ary 24, (Honey Belle Dixon Photo) At the FFA din ner there were many sup port ers to bid at the la bor auc tion.

It turned out that they did not need it but there are no rules as to how the trailer is to be used and how far out of the town and county it can be taken. The board de cided to leave it open un less it be comes an is sue. They also sug gested we dis - cuss it with our in sur ance agent how it would work if some one else picked it up and pulled it with their own vehicle. Vi tal Re cords Dawna had met with the Ki owa County Commissioners and they had de cided to get the death re cords turned over to Dawna as soon as pos si ble so she could start do ing certifieds and burial per - mits and then the birth re - cords could be done as soon as the state has time to come down and do the training.

Stan would still be the main at tor ney. Gary charges $185/hour and Stan charges $120/hour but Gary would pro-rate his out de pend ing on how much time is spent on what. Of course this would need to be dis - cussed with Stan to see if he would be ok with this. This was ok with the board if Stan was ok with it. There were four pup - pies that the town was called to pick up. When the guys picked them up they looked re ally sick so they were taken to the vet to see what was wrong with them. The next day we found out who they be - longed to and they were writ ten a let ter stat ing that we were pretty sure we had their dogs and they needed to con tact us. They did not.
