The Voice of the Nevada Livestock Industry

Town Hall Meeting A Success

Nevada Cattlemen’s Association (NCA) recent interactive video Town Hall Meeting was a huge success reaching over

one-hundred Cattlemen at eight remote locations throughout the state. The three hour event discussed the scientific facts and received grass roots input on several front burner resource management issues facing the livestock industry as well as addressed the timely use of genomic enhanced expected progeny differences (EPD’s).

Of primary focus at the multi-community interactive meeting was a discussion of the draft Land Use Plan Amendment (LUPA) and Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) of the Nevada and Northeastern California Greater Sage-Grouse (GRSG). The deadline for comments on the draft EIS is January 29 so talking points for making substantive comments as well as where and how participants could easily submit their comments prior to that deadline were provided to attendees. Other issues addressed included the ongoing wild and free roaming horse debate which has been looming since 1971 as well as the Elk over-population and management issue. Most importantly NCA heard from its membership and industry relative to their stand on these and other important issues facing the livestock industry.

In addition to NCA leadership, members of the Nevada Sagebrush Ecosystem Council, members of the National Wild Horse and Burro Advisory Committee, coun-ty commissioners, University of Nevada faculty and other interested parties were present and commented on the all-encompassing Town Hall meeting.

The three hour program was sponsored by the Nevada Cattlemen’s Association Fal-lon Bull Sale in cooperation with the American Angus Association (AAA) and Angus Genetic Incorporated (AGI), Great Basin College, University of Nevada Cooperative Extension and United States Department of Agriculture Risk Management Agency.

This was the first time NCA has hosted an interactive Town Hall meeting and it worked well. It is a cost saving method which minimizes travel yet reaches member-ship and the livestock industry throughout the state.

Nevada Cattlemen’s Association’s mission continues to be to promote, preserve and protect a dynamic and profitable Nevada beef industry. Should you like to visit with NCA staff or leadership feel free to contact NCA at 775-738-9214 or [email protected]

State Response: USDA Designates Nevada

Counties As Primary Natural Disaster AreasDecision allows farmers and ranchers

to apply for USDA assistance

SPARKS, Nev. – The U.S. Department of Agriculture has designated nine counties in Nevada as primary natural disaster areas because of drought.

The affected counties are: Churchill, Lander, Mineral, Pershing, Clark, Lyon, Nye, Washoe and Humboldt.

In accordance with 321(a) of the Consolidated Farm and Rural Development Act, the following counties are named as contiguous disaster areas: Douglas, Esmeralda, Lincoln, White Pine, Elko, Eureka, Storey and Carson City.

Farmers and ranchers qualify for natural disaster assistance because of the USDA declaration. Those needing assistance should contact their local USDA Farm Service Agency office: www.fsa.usad.gov/NV.

“I am pleased that USDA Secretary Vilsack approved a disaster designation of Ne-vada counties,” said Governor Brian Sandoval. “The state’s drought response commit-

Drought: Continued from page 1

tee is reviewing the declaration and I look forward to hearing from them tomorrow.”Jim Barbee, director of the Nevada Department of Agriculture, agreed.“USDA has a variety of programs to help eligible Nevada producers recover from

adversity caused by natural disaster,” he said. “Every piece of the puzzle counts.”Actions taken by Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack in 2012 to provide assistance

to producers impacted by the drought included:

• Extended emergency grazing on Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) acres, freeing up a record 2.8 million acres and as much as $200 million in forage and feed for ranchers during a challenging time.

• Purchased $170 million of pork, lamb, chicken, and catfish for federal food nu-trition assistance programs, including food banks, to help relieve pressure on American livestock producers and bring the nation’s meat supply in line with demand.

• Reduced the emergency loan rate, from 3.75 percent to 2.875 percent, as well as making emergency loans available earlier in the season.

• Allowing haying or grazing of cover crops without impacting the insurability of planted 2013 spring crops.

• USDA worked with crop insurance companies to provide flexibility to farmers, and one-third of all policyholders took advantage of the extended payment period.

• Authorized $16 million in existing funds from the Wildlife Habitat Incentive Program (WHIP) and Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) to target states experiencing exceptional and extreme drought.

• Transferred $14 million in unobligated program funds into the Emergency Con-servation Program (ECP) to help farmers and ranchers rehabilitate farmland damaged by natural disasters and for carrying out emergency water conserva-tion measures in periods of severe drought.

Authorized haying and grazing of Wetlands Reserve Program (WRP) easement

areas in drought-affected areas where haying and grazing is consistent with conser-vation of wildlife habitat and wetlands.

Lowered the penalty on CRP acres used for emergency haying or grazing, from 25 percent to 10 percent in 2012.

Simplified the Secretarial disaster designation process and reduced the time it takes to designate counties affected by disasters by 40 percent.

Additional programs available to assist farmers and ranchers include the Emer-gency Conservation Program, Federal Crop Insurance, and the Noninsured Crop Disaster Assistance Program. Interested farmers may contact their local USDA Service Centers for further information on eligibility requirements and application procedures for these and other programs. Additional information is also available online at http://disaster.fsa.usda.gov.

TOP PERFORMANCE BULLS AT CATTLEMEN’S PRICES!

Austin and Fallon (775) [email protected] www.hutchensherefords.com

Will the Greater Regional Sage-Grouse (GRSG) become known as the Great Basin Spotted Owl (GBSO)?

The comment period for the draft Land Use Plan Amendment (LUPA) and En-vironmental Impact Statement (EIS) of the Nevada and Northeastern Califor-

nia Greater Sage-Grouse (GRSG) has come and gone (January 29, 2014). Interested parties, including the Nevada Cattlemen’s Association (NCA), have poured through the three-inch high Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and United States Forest Service (USFS) documents containing 1,015 pages of repeated use of 188 acronyms, tables, maps and Government verbiage. I apologize upfront for the excessive use of acronyms in this article but I want the reader to get a sense of the tone of a govern-ment EIS.

This grueling review process was done in an effort to draft and submit meaningful comments in accordance with the guidelines outlined in the EIS draft document. If you or your ranching operation took the time to comment on this very complex and important issue you certainly share in the frustrations of the process. NCA leadership has heard from many of our members relative to the potential listing of the GRSG. As a result of these many conversations we surmised there is a general misunderstanding on several key points about the draft EIS document and the en-dangered species listing process.

At the forefront of misunderstood points is that this draft EIS document put out by the BLM/USFS is not an EIS for the potential Endangered Species (ES) listing of the GRSG. Actual listing of the GRSG is determined by the United States Fish and Wildlife Services (USFWS) not the BLM or USFS. Listing by the USFWS is scheduled to be determined and announced in the fall of 2015. The USFWS determined that changes in management of GRSG habitats are necessary to avoid the continued de-cline of populations. The BLM/USFS draft EIS considers six possible management alternatives and sets out to determine which of those alternatives (or portions of those alternatives) best accomplish favorable habitat changes for maintaining and increasing habitat for GRSG. More than 17 million acres of habitat are managed by the BLM and USFS in the affected area.

It seems the burden of proof on many public land use management issues often falls on the users and caretakers of the land and not the decision makers. The deci-sion makers often live far away and are far removed from the land. One thing is for certain. If a management option is not selected and implemented that maintains and increases habitat for GRSG, a USFWS determination of “endangered” is likely to occur.

If an endangered species listing were to occur the socio-economic impact would

be similar to what happened to those in the Pacific Northwest where and when the spotted owl was listed as endangered. GRSG might then become known as my own newly formed acronym GBSO (Great Basin Spotted Owl). No one wants GBSO to become a reality. With an endangered listing the rural way of life would be clearly impacted. Every land use entity including livestock, miners, energy, hunters, rural governments, and outdoor enthusiasts would be affected.

As discussed in the various management options contained in the daft EIS it is both coincidental and ironic that many land users have historically worked toward land habitat restoration and continue to do so through good stewardship of the land practices. Good stewardship is the right thing for the bird, the land, the people and the cow. Habitat restoration requires on-the-ground habitat projects such as water improvements, spring and meadow restoration, invasive species management, green-stripping, fire management (including fuels reduction through strategic and planned grazing), reseeding rangelands, etc. It is much easier to perform these proj-ects on private ground rather than public lands.

Undeniably there are legal, political, environmental and social obstacles asso-ciated with public lands which are not associated with private land management. Slowing habitat restoration on public lands are lawsuits by radical environmental groups, management of feral horses, government bureaucracy, predator and wildlife management. Let’s concentrate on the issues we have control of: habitat restoration of our private lands and to the best of our ability our public grazing allotments.

Good stewardship of the land is always the right path to take. When all is said and done, that is the intent of the draft Land Use Plan Amendment (LUPA) and Environ-mental Impact Statement (EIS) of the Nevada and Northeastern California Greater Sage-Grouse (GRSG).

I would like to express my appreciation for their many hours working on the laborious sage grouse issue to NCA’s public lands co-chairpersons, Ron Cerri and JJ Goicoechea, along with Nevada Sagebrush Ecosystem Council (Sage Grouse Committee) member representing ranching, Steve Boies, in addition to NCA Exec-utive Director, Desiree Seal, for her efforts in submitting meaningful comments on behalf of the Nevada livestock industry. Should you like to visit with any of these individuals or the NCA staff, please feel free to contact NCA at 775-738-9214 or my NCA e-mail address [email protected] Through this monthly column our hope is to update those involved in the Nevada Livestock industry about the issues NCA is working on for our mission continues to be to promote, preserve and protect a dynamic and profitable Nevada beef industry.

Nearly all ranches have alfalfa � elds that are short on water. 360-D can maximize

Here’s what growers are saying:

This Alfalfa has been called a tetraploid anomaly by alfalfa breeders.On the market for 25 year, and being improved twice,

it remains the highest yielding, LOW WATER ALFALFA on the market!

News From the Nevada Beef CouncilChecking-In On Your Beef Checkoff

NEVADA BEEF COUNCILP.O. Box 340310, Sacramento, CA 95834-0310 • www.nevadabeef.org • 877-554-BEEF (2333) • [email protected]

Sharing the Power of Beef With Nevada Dietitians

The Nevada Beef Council (NBC) recently met with the Southern Nevada Dietetic Association (SNDA) at Centennial Hospital in Las Vegas to share just how beneficial beef is in a balanced diet. The NBC’s Registered Dietitian, James Winstead, spoke to the audience of approximately 60 Southern Nevada dietitians and nutrition professionals about the nutritive properties of beef and the latest research on the benefits of a protein-rich diet.

Winstead highlighted the basics of beef nutrition, the 10 essential nutrients found in beef (including protein, iron, zinc, B vitamins, selenium, phosphorous, and niacin) and how to incorporate beef into a heart-healthy diet. He also covered the benefits of a higher protein diet, noting the important role high-quality protein found in beef can have on stimulating muscle growth and managing weight.

“Since the 1970s, beef has been demonized due to a misperception that it caus-es heart disease,” Winstead shared with the group. “When viewing the fatty acid profile of beef, you will notice that half the fats are mono-unsaturated fatty acids, the same fat that is found in olive oil, which is very important in building a heart-healthy diet.”

Following the event, attendees turned to social media to share their feedback.

One of the dietitians who attended the presentation noted on Facebook, “Just got back from a nutrition session about beef. Suddenly, I want more of it in my life.”

Educating key influential audiences such as the dietetic and health-oriented communities have the latest and best information about beef nutrition is just one way in which the NBC works to influence beef demand in Nevada.

On the Road With Cattlemen’s UpdateMembers of the NBC team recently joined the University of Nevada Cooperative

Extension and other agencies for the 2014 Cattlemen’s Update, a week-long tour throughout Nevada bringing educational topics and programs to beef producers. The NBC shared some of its ongoing efforts and goals with producers throughout the week, and offered insight on programs designed to promote Nevada beef and grow beef demand.

Bill Dale, Executive Director of the Nevada Beef Council, shared some history and background on the beef checkoff with producers, noting that it was established as part of the 1985 Farm Bill. The checkoff assesses $1 per head on the sale of live domestic and imported cattle. From there, 50 cents of that dollar are retained at the state level, and the remaining 50 cents go to the Cattlemen’s Beef Promotion and Research Board (CBB), which oversees the national checkoff program.

“One of the challenges we face is simply caused by the power of inflation over a period of time,” noted Dale during the presentations. “In today’s economy, it would take $1.90 to have the same buying power $1 had in 1985. So essentially, our spend-ing power has decreased at the same time that the national cow herd is decreasing, making it necessary, now more than ever, for the Nevada Beef Council to invest its resources wisely and prudently.”

Joining Dale from the Nevada Beef Council staff was Jill Scofield, Manager of Producer Communications. The NBC team is guided by a board of seven beef producers from throughout the state who represent all phases of the Nevada beef production process. To learn more, visit www.nevadabeef.org, or find us on Face-book and Twitter.

Interested in Serving on the NBC?

The Nevada Beef Council will have a va-cant board position in the near future, and is looking for beef producers who are in-terested in becoming a council member. If you represent the cow-calf, dairy or feed-er sectors and would like to help guide the NBC team in its efforts to promote the beef industry throughout the state, please consider applying. The Council meets in person twice each year and provides feedback, guidance and input on the ac-tivities and programs of the NBC.
