Taken from the September 22, 1938Kadoka Press. Kadoka and Midland meet for firstcontest in six man football; home gameSeptember 30. The opening game for the KadokaHigh School six man football team willbe played at Midland on Friday after-noon, September 23. This will be the first season footballhas been attempted by either school,but a lively contest is expected. CoachForrest Jones has been working with asquad of sixteen players since the open-ing of school here, and much improve-ment has been shown by the boys in thefundamentals of the game. Startingwith absolutely no experience the boyshave shown much interest in the gameand have developed nicely, although toomuch cannot be expected of their firstappearance or even their first season’swork because they will be playing expe-rienced teams in some of their gamesthis year. Probably only twelve men will makethe trip to Midland Friday, according to

Jones, but the entire squad may see ac-tion in the game with Cottonwood hereon September 30. Six man football has proven a verypopular sport in the smaller schoolswhere the limited number of studentsand the expense have prohibited theseschools from indulging in eleven manfootball. The game is very similar to theeleven man game although playedmuch more open and on a slightlysmaller field. The six man field is 40x80yards, whereas the eleven man field is50x100 yards.

Equipment was secured here by apurchase of some suits from Philip anda gift of some equipment from theSchool of Mines at Rapid City. A field will probably be laid out onthe baseball diamond lots for games, al-though the boys have been using thelots back of the Victoria Hall for a prac-tice field. Much interest is being developed infootball here this fall and a good crowdis expected to be on hand to witness thefirst home game with Cottonwood, Fri-day afternoon.

There is good science showing aglass or two of wine per night pro-tects against heart disease. Butwhat can be helpful to some, canbe poison for others. One study found 53% of peoplein the US have a close relative whohas a drinking problem. At lastcount 17.6 million in this countryare alcoholic or alcohol abusive. Al-cohol excess causing auto crashes,homicide and suicide, liver-heart-brain-kidney illness, and braindamage to the unborn, costs theUS about 185 billion dollars peryear, not to mention incalculablehuman suffering. “Alcoholic” means four things:craving, can’t stop, withdrawalsymptoms, and needing more andmore to get high. This is differentfrom “abuse”, which means a pat-tern of drinking which results infailed work or school responsibili-ties, driving while drunk, legalproblems or social and family prob-lems. Although separate by defini-tion, many alcoholics alsoexperience alcohol abuse. Maybe the power of addictionhas to do with what one friendsaid, “It’s amazing how booze

makes you think you’re so intelli-gent!” The paradox is that thestuff that makes one feel so smart,in reality, at the same time is de-stroying judgment. People can’tget out of it because they don’t re-alize they’re in it. The CAGE questions help iden-tify when there could be a problem:C stands for “cutting down”, A for“annoyed” be criticism aboutdrinking, G for feelings of “guilt”,and E for the “eye-opener” in themorning to steady nerves. One yesis worrisome, and two meanssomeone needs help. There is a myth that alcoholismis a sign of moral weakness, and toseek help is to admit some type ofshameful act. In fact, alcoholismis a disease like diabetes orasthma, and not a sign of weak-ness or ethical deficiency. Why is it that alcohol will takehold of some people, and not let gountil it’s destroyed their lives orthe lives of those around them?We don‘t know the answer to thatquestion but what we do know isthat if there is a problem with al-cohol, there is help to be had. Youjust need to ask for it.

Alcoholism

Galatians 5:13God has a purpose for your life. If that weren't true,

He'd have taken you home to heaven at the moment ofsalvation. Do you ever wonder why He left you here?

The Lord intends to influence others through you.Our purpose is to be a vessel through which Christ overflows to others--touching those who hurt and des-perately need a Savior. Once we are saved, Scripture teaches, our involvement is threefold. First, we love others. Jesus clearly stated that this was one of the two greatest commandments (Matt.22:38-39). Second, we share the good news of salvation (Acts 1:8). Some travel across the world to spread thegospel, while others teach neighbors across the street. The Holy Spirit will direct us to the right peopleif we are willing to obey. Third, we serve in a variety of ways, like helping those in need, sharing our resources, and liftingothers in prayer. Jesus is our perfect example of all three. His entire life was marked by caring for peo-ple--both those who loved Him and those who did not. In fact, the Bible teaches that He humbled Himselfand became like us, willing to give up His life for our redemption. There is no greater love; there is nogreater act of service. Scripture clearly defines the believer's purpose. Aligning ourselves with God's intentions for His chil-dren--loving others, witnessing, and serving-- bring us great satisfaction. In fact, we're still on earth notmerely to hear more teaching but to act on it and share with others what we learn.

The South Dakota Game, Fishand Parks Department has beenmonitoring die-offs of white-taileddeer across portions of the stateand must make adjustments tosome West River deer huntingunits. Epizootic Hemorrhagic Disease(EHD) has been confirmed inwhite-tailed deer, and many of thedeer deaths being reported by thepublic are suspected to be the re-sult of that disease. In response to the disease, allunsold licenses will be removedfrom the following deer huntingunits for the West River deer sea-son: Bennett County: 11A-09 and11B-17; Gregory County: 30A-19and 30B-19; and Jackson County:39B-09. In addition, 200 licenseswill be removed for Meade County:49B-09. “As the department continues tomonitor the outbreak of EHD overthe next couple of weeks, we willprovide additional recommenda-tions to the Game, Fish and ParksCommission at its October meetingto address East River deer units,”said GFP Secretary Jeff Vonk.“Currently, the department plansto recommend that the commissionremove all unsold licenses in BonHomme, Hutchinson, and Yanktoncounties and make significant re-ductions to leftover licenses inBrule and Charles Mix counties forthe second draw of the East Riverdeer season. Between now and thenext commission meeting, we willcontinue our surveillance effortswith the possibility of additional li-cense reductions.” Aside from conducting groundsurveillance and collecting reportsfrom the public, GFP is also using

aerial flights to help determine theseverity of deer mortalities. “Reports of dead deer are comingfrom across the state, and in someinstances landowners are tellingtraditionally hosted hunters thatopportunities will be limited,” Vonksaid. “With that in mind, GFP isnotifying deer hunters that theycan voluntarily return a deer li-cense for any season prior to thestart of that respective season andreceive a full refund.” Hunters desiring a refund for adeer license should send their li-cense, including all associated tags,to: GFP Licensing Office; 20641 SDHighway 1806; Fort Pierre, SD57532. EHD is common in white-taileddeer and is typically detected inlate summer or early fall. The virusis spread by a biting midge andcauses extensive internal hemor-rhaging. Many deer exhibit no clin-ical signs and appear perfectlyhealthy, while others may havesymptoms such as respiratory dis-tress, fever, and swelling of thetongue. With highly virulentstrains of the virus, deer can bedead within 1-3 days. In an at-tempt to combat the high fever, af-fected deer are often found inlow-lying areas or near rivers,ponds and other waters. GFP continues to ask individu-als who see sick deer or find deaddeer to contact their local conserva-tion officer or call the Pierre officeat 605-773-5913. EHD is not infectious to hu-mans. For more information on theEHD virus visithttp://gfp.sd.gov/wildlife/diseases/epizootic-hemorrhagic-disease.aspx.

I unclogged the drain on thebathroom sink earlier this week. Ithad been getting worse and worseover the last month to six weeksuntil it had become very slow toempty. Using it required a bit morepatience than I had. It was time orpast time to fix things. Accordingly, I rounded up thebig pliers-like tool I bought agesago after seeing plumber Lloydusing one like it to good effectmany times. A couple of screw-drivers were grabbed as well. ThenI cleaned out the vanity under thesink just in case I made an unmit-igated mess which was somewhatlikely going on past experience.Taking a deep breath, I adjustedthe pliers to the size of the nut onthe plastic pipe and tentativelygave it a turn. It moved easily.“Oh, good!” I said. The nut on theother side of the trap moved just aseasily. I could unscrew both ofthem by hand from there on. Oddly enough, the trap wascompletely clear. The problem hadto be farther up. I probed up therewith a big screwdriver andbrought some stuff out, but theclog seemed to be higher still.Standing up, I considered how toget the drain plug out since someof those are connected by compli-cated screw contraptions that havecompletely defeated me in thepast. When I gave a tug, though,the plug came right out. “That waseasy,” I said in relief. From there Icould see the obstruction, and thescrewdriver soon had it out. It wasa nasty glob of hair and unidenti-fiable slime. It only took a minuteor two to remove it and flush thepipe into the pail I had under thedrain below. Mission accomplishedexcept for reconstruction. Luckily, the plug snapped rightback in, and the trap went back onabout as easily as it had come off.I tightened things with the pliersand tested my work by runningsome water through. No leaks. Ex-cellent! A few wipes with a coupleof paper towels and the job wasdone. “That was easy,” I said tomyself. “Why didn’t I do thatweeks ago?” “Because you don’t have anyconfidence in your plumbingskills,” was my immediate reply tomyself. And that is so. It is not anarea where I shine. I can do suchthings, but natural talent, apti-tude and experience are somewhatlacking. As a result, I would ratherput up with the inconvenience of aslow drain than actually try to fixit.

As you know, a lack of confi-dence can inhibit our attempts todo various things. We might kindof want to do various jobs or activ-ities but don’t because we aren’tsure we can pull it off. Dealingwith electrical matters certainlyfalls into that category with me.I’m not very confident when itcomes to plumbing, but double ortriple that with electricity. Youmight make a big mess if you goofup in plumbing, but you could endup dead through a mistake withelectricity. I’m not sure that willever change with me so I am nothesitant to call in an actual electri-cian if things look somewhat be-yond me. I plan to continue thatpractice. In other areas, though, I can ac-complish what I want to do if Iwork at it. About the first thing Ineed to do, however, is relax. Ifyou’re all tensed up, you can’t domuch. This I learned in partthrough playing complicated musi-cal pieces in public. If you’re tootense, your music won’t be verygood or you’ll scramble the hardparts. I have to just tell myselfthat, yes, there is a chance I’ll goofup and embarrass myself, but,what the heck. So be it. I’m goingto give it a shot anyway and try tohave a good time in the process. Alot of practice beforehand, ofcourse, will make public perform-ance easier. Public speaking is another in-stance of where one needs to con-sciously relax. Seeing all thoseeyes watching you could possiblymake one tense. I don’t have muchof a problem with that anymore,but it was harder to do earlier inlife when I’d had no experiencewith it. You know, when Joshua wasabout to lead the Israelites into thePromised Land, God repeatedlytold him, “Be strong and coura-geous. Be strong and courageous.”This was possible for Joshua be-cause God had promised to be withhim and help him. God promises todo the same for us if we trust him,even in everyday matters likeplumbing. Oh dear! Wife Corinne just in-formed me that another drain inthe house is having problems andcould use some work. Perhaps I’dbetter deal with that while my tri-umph over the first drain is stillfresh in my mind. As the littletrain says in the childhood storyabout climbing a steep hill, “Ithink I can. I think I can. I think Ican.”

Lookin’ Aroundby Syd Iwan

Bob Fortune spent from Thurs-day evening until Sunday in RapidCity attending the StockgrowersConvention. Since Bob is vice-pres-ident of the organization, he keptfairly busy with meetings andsuch. He said there was a goodturnout, and it was a good meeting.The fundraising auction went wellas did the awards banquet on Sat-urday evening. The main conven-tion ended Saturday evening, butthere was a board of directorsmeeting on Sunday that Bob alsohad to stay for. Bob’s wife, Ruth,came from Wyoming to spend theweekend in Rapid City with Bob atthe convention. Kenny and Roxie Fox also spentthe weekend at the StockgrowersConvention in Rapid City. WadeFox went up on Saturday for theday. Kenny was president of the or-ganization for the usual two-yearterm which ended last year. Pastpresidents, however, immediatelygo onto the board of directors forten years, so he had to staythrough Sunday afternoon to at-tend the board meeting. Kennysaid it was nice to get home, how-ever, and get back out on theprairie, check the cows, and do theusual things. Mark DeVries also at-tended the convention. Chuck and Merry Willard at-tended the Stockgrowers Conven-tion this weekend. Their daughter,Niki Kleinsasser, came from HotSprings to look after things at theranch while they were gone. Merryjust got home from spending aboutthree weeks with her daughter,Coleen, and family at Pinedale,WY. Coleen came here first for acouple of weeks with her daughter,Frankie, during which they enter-tained the flu. Then Merry, Coleenand Frankie visited Casey Willardin Nebraska overnight before goingto Pinedale with a stopover of anight at Casper, WY. At Pinedale,Merry played with Frankie quite abit which she enjoyed. She alsohelped some with the huntingcamp Coleen and Billy run as out-fitters. While there, everyone tooka four-plus hour drive to Salt LakeCity, Utah. Merry also got to meetBilly’s grandma whom she hadn’tmet previously since the grandma

wasn’t able to come when Billy andColeen got married. Merry said itwas nice to be back home. Francie Davis and her threesons just got back from spendingtwo weeks near Sioux Falls. Theywere house and horse sitting forsome friends who went to Korea fora brother’s wedding. On Saturday,they attended the Bad RiverBuckaroo 5K walk/ride/run at Mid-land.

Barn went up in smoke … The barn that was once by the talltree was destroyed in the fire, along with a number of other items in theback, including a fuel tank.

Fire jumps the highway … and headed for the home of Bradand Shawna Roghair south of the highway.

Smoke-filled air … The smoke rolls over the hillside toward thehome of Flavia Stotts on Wednesday, September 19. She also lost an aban-don place on her land.

The aftermath … leading into the Brad Roghair residence. Thenext day their daughter said, “It was by the grace of God that we didn’tlose everything.”

Kadoka Volunteer Fire Department … Dale Christensen (L) runs the tender during the fireWednesday afternoon, continually refilling any fire-fighting units in need of water. He had just refilled the unitof Luke Carlson’s when a Kadoka truck manned by Fire Chief David Johnson (R) and past chief Rich Bendt ar-rived for a refill. Bendt said flames were shooting over 20 feet high. Kadoka had all of their units at the fire, in-cluding the Suburban, which was used to transport water and sandwiches to the crews fighting the fire.

North of Bork’s … this dam diverted the fire toward the southeast,forcing the fire around the home place of Herman and Jewell Bork. Theylost fences, bales and winter grazing pastures.

Lending a hand … Baxter Badure drives the pickup while ColeHindman sprays the fire from the back. These guys were just two of manywho took personal units to the fire; they were not the only crew usinghomemade fire units made by Scott Bauman.

And here’s where it started … A truck with a load of roundbales, traveling south on a gravel road, ignited three fires, which resultedin at least 16 fire departments responding, and many other individuals,to help extinguish the fires on Wednesday. This was the scene over thehill north of Herman and Jewell Borks’.

bales accidentally ignited the loadof bales, then proceeded to drivetwo miles down the road towardsthe Interstate, spreading the fire asit went. Sylva said it is unclear asto how the bales actually started onfire.

The blaze swept through theHerman Bork place, taking with it382 hay bales, as well as destroyingwinter grazing pastures and ap-proximately 7.6 miles of fence. Tomake matters worse, a good por-tion of that fence was new.

After making its way throughthe Bork’s, the fire jumped the In-terstate and threatened bothFlavia Stotts’ residence, as well asthe residence of Nathan and SherriVander Schaaf. A little furthersouth, Brad and Shawna Roghair’splace was also in danger.

With a strong wind blowing thefire south, Flavia Stotts knew shehad to do something, as the fire-men had not yet arrived at herhouse.

With garden hose in hand, shewas determined to saturate her dryyard around her house andpropane tank.

“Whether that stopped the fireor not, I don’t know. I could see

where the firemen had sprayed thenorth side of the house.”

Stotts said she took her car anddrove east to be out of the way ofthe fire.

“Marty Roghair drove over to re-port to me that my barn had gonewith the fire,” said Stotts.

The fire came within yards ofher house and destroyed her barn,but the firemen were able to keepthe damage to only that.

Straight south of Stotts’ house,the Brad and Shawna Roghairplace was in danger. ClariceRoghair reported that Bob Roghairdrove over with his tractor anddisk, turning up ground to stop thefire from advancing any closer tothe Roghair home.

The Vander Schaaf ’s have beenthreatened by fire more than oncethis summer. The first time, a firestarted in the east bound lane ofInterstate 90, and spread up adraw towards their home.

This time, the fire spread evenfurther, coming within less than100 yards of their home. SherriVander Schaaf said that the firehas flared up near their housetwice since Wednesday.

Sylva reported that the Murdo

Fire Department stayed on thescene of the fire over night on Sep-tember 19, and has been backevery day to monitor and wet downhot spots as needed.

Sixteen fire departments re-sponded to the fire, including:Murdo, Draper, Belvidere, Kadoka,Midland, Philip, Ft. Pierre, FourCorners, Wood, White River, Vi-vian, Presho, Kennebec and Re-liance, as well as the U.S. ForestService National Grasslands sta-tioned in Ft. Pierre and B.I.A. fromRosebud. The departments wereassisted by many neighbors whodrove personal fire fighting rigs.

In addition to other depart-ments, Sylva reported that manyother services assisted with thefire. They include: Jones CountySheriff, Jones County Ambulance,SD Highway Patrol, Pierre PoliceDepartment, State Radio Commu-nications Rapid City, SD Depart-ment of Transportation, SD Officeof Emergency Management, GreatPlains Dispatch, West CentralElectric and Jackson County Emer-gency Management.

Dean Nelson from West CentralElectric reported that 40 powerlinepoles will have to be replaced as aresult of the fire. He said that no-body was out of power for an ex-tended amount of time during thefire. Pole replacement will continuefor the next two weeks.

Sylva estimated that 50-60 firetrucks responded, and approxi-mately 120 firemen.

“After the fire jumped the Inter-state, I put a call in to Great PlainsDispatch for single engineer airtankers, but before the could getmoralized, we had the fire undercontrol,” said Sylva.

Direct dollar damage reported sofar for the fire includes, but is notlimited to: Borks’ fence, the hay lostand the buildings that were de-stroyed. Indirect dollar damage in-cludes winter grazing pasturesowned by Borks, and wheat stubblefields that provide cover and keepmoisture in the ground.

Sylva said, “Thank you foreveryone who brought food andwater to the firemen, it really madeit easier.”

The Murdo Fire Department hasresponded to approximately 50fires so far this year. Eight of thoseinclude mutual aid calls, in whichthe department is called to help an-other county. Vegetation fires, suchas grass or wheat, accounted for 25of the calls.

Sylva encouraged everyone to becareful when it comes to anythingthat can cause a fire.

“The season is not done yet,”Sylva reminds.

He said, at this point, rain willhelp, but it will not stop the fireseason.

On Thursday, September 22 theLady Kougar volleyball team com-peted in the White River Triangu-lar. Kadoka defeated White River25-21, 25-21, 25-20. Raven Jorgensen was 15/15serving with 11 service points and3 aces. Shaley Herber had a domi-nant match spiking 20/23 with 13kills and 2 blocks. Marti Herberand Kwincy Ferguson each added 6kills. Taylor Merchen had 12 set as-sists, and Tessa Stout had 7 set as-sists and 6 digs. This was really anice win for us. White River has agood team but has just been up anddown all season. I think this wasone of the best attacking matcheswe have played all season, and thatis a good sign, considering it is theweakest part of our game. Pine Ridge defeated Kadoka 25-14, 25-16, 25-18. Mariah Pierce was 8/8 servingwith 4 points and 1 ace. Raven Jor-gensen was 13/13 spiking with 7kills and 5 blocks, and Shaley Her-ber was 8/9 spiking with 6 kills and2 blocks. Tessa Stout and Taylor

Merchen combined for 11 set as-sists. Mariah Pierce had 3 digs.This was probably one of our worstmatches of the year. We were backon our heels most of the match andjust could not get a read on whatPine Ridge was doing. They put theball in every corner of the court,and we just wasn't ready for it. Itwas good for us though; Pine Ridgeis a good team, and they exposedsome of our weaknesses and let usknow what we need to get better at. Pine Ridge JV defeated theKadoka JV 2-0. White River JV defeated theKadoka JV 2-1. The JV struggled a bit on Thurs-day night after playing so well thelast few matches; but, they areplaying with a couple new playersto the JV, and it will take sometime to get used to each other. Theyplayed pretty well against WhiteRiver losing in a close 3 set match. Our next match will be in theLead Tournament on Saturday,September 29.

Kougars knock out Tigersdrop to Pine Ridge

put the team on his shoulders andkeep the offense rolling just enoughto keep the ball away from JonesCounty in the second half. Ourguys faced a lot of adversity andadjustments and they met the chal-lenges head on as we were able tocompletely shut down the Coyotesoffense as our defense held them toonly 33 total yards.

The story lines of this gamewere of course the injuries, but theway that everyone stepped up andmade plays, and played smart foot-ball especially in the second half, toget the win and to shut them downthe way we did, made me veryproud. Nothing was easy, but theyrose to the challenge. I also can notsay enough about the job that LanePatterson did when Chandlier wasunable to go anymore at quarter-back. Lane came in, rarely everplaying the position, and he milkedthe clock and took care of the ballfor us in the 4th quarter.

If ever we needed a bye week itis this week. We will take this timeto heal, and to regroup and getready for White River on October 5.We look forward to the challengesahead, and one thing these kidshave done this year is rise to the oc-casion when they are met withchallenges.

We appreciate the entire com-munity for their support during our2012 homecoming week! GoKougars!

Jones County – 0 Kadoka Area – 18

After a great week of homecom-ing activities that included one ofthe best pep rallies I’ve seen, theKadoka Area Kougars footballteam put a nice ending to a funweek with an 18-0 victory over theJones County Coyotes.

The game opened with a 95-yardtouchdown run on the first play ofscrimmage by Kenar VanderMay toput us up 6-0.

The game then turned intosomewhat of a defensive battle. Wemade some mistakes that put us insome bad situations, but our de-fense did a great job throughoutthe game of holding off any kind ofthreat from Jones County.

In the second quarter we hadsome bad luck as Logan Chris-tensen went down with a severeankle sprain and Kenar Vander-May left the game with a brokencollar bone. It was very unfortu-nate and our hearts are broken es-pecially for Kenar, but our footballteam stepped up and stayed toughthrough all of that adversity.Chandlier Sudbeck came in atquarterback and threw two touch-down passes in the second quarter,one to Logan Ammons and one toKlay O’Daniel to make the score18-0 at halftime.

I don’t know if gutsy is the rightword for what Chandlier did for thefootball team as he was nursing ahip/back injury, but he was able to

Chance KnutsonFootball

Chance doesn’t always have themost stats offensively, but he’s ahuge part of our offense at full back.He’s been an excellent lead blockerfor us for four years now and is anintegral part of both our running andpassing game’s success. He’s alsobeen a four-year starter on de-fense. He plays linebacker 90% ofthe time, but when needed, he willalso play some defensive tackle.Chance is always willing to dowhatever is necessary for the teamand is an outstanding leader on andoff the field.

Matching the Cropping System to Water Availability

2012 will certainly go down inthe record books as one of the dri-est growing seasons in history, andhas also proven to be very educa-tional. Granted, that may opti-mistic.

It became obvious early in thesummer that some crop sequenceslike corn following corn, soybeans,alfalfa or sunflower were muchshorter on soil moisture than oth-ers. No-till fields seemed to with-stand the drought better thantilled fields. Even within fields,large differences were seen in howwell the crops handled thedrought, reflecting changes in soiltypes and the water holding capac-ity of them.

As you look ahead to the 2013growing season and beyond, if youplanted a crop that failed in 2012,that may not necessarily be a badthing. That may sound easy to saywhen you don’t farm, but if youfarm in such a way that a cropnever fails due to drought, you willnot take full advantage of a goodyear.

Regardless of your farmingtechnique, good crop rotationshave many benefits; includingmaking the best use of the rainfallyou receive. Producers in dry areasshould strive for a mix of high andlow water-use crops. Producers inbetter rainfall areas will includemore high-use crops.

A good rotation has diversity inplant types, planting dates, andharvest periods. This diversityspreads workloads and decreasesinsect, disease, and weed pressure.Crop rotations also have varyinglevels of water use intensity.Dwayne Beck, Manager of theDakota Lakes Research Farm, hasdone some example calculations onboth the diversity and intensity ofa variety of crop rotations, and hasthe document available at:http://www.dakotalakes.com/Publi-cations/DI_Sample_Calculations.pdf. The proper water use intensitywill vary from one area to another.The key is to make use of the rain-fall you receive. As Dwayne Becksays, when a crop fails, that’s whatcrop insurance is for.Nitrate Testing Summary

We were able to summarize alarge number of Nitrate test re-sults from the 2002 and 2006droughts, due to the cooperation ofthe Olson Biochemistry Lab atSDSU. With the closing of that labin the fall of 2011, that resource isno longer available, but one of theprivate labs recently provided asummary of the Nitrate tests theyhave analyzed to date.

SGS Labs, of Brookings, SD,provided analysis of a number ofcorn, corn silage, corn stalks, al-falfa hay, grass hay mix, lamb-squarter (weed), oat forage, oathay, and sorghum/sudan grasssamples from June 28 – September4, 2012. The samples came largelyfrom South Dakota, with somefrom Minnesota, Iowa and Ne-braska. The majority of the sam-ples came from southeastern andsouthern South Dakota, and thebordering parts of the other states.

The highest level of Nitratetheir analysis found was 1.14%,which is well over 2 times the levelthat is considered safe to feed,even when mixed with safer feed-stuffs. The average level was0.15%, which is at the upper limitof safe to feed to non-pregnant an-imals, and recommended to be lim-ited to 50% of the ration forpregnant animals. The medianlevel, which is the numerical valueseparating the higher half of thesamples from the lower half of thesamples, was 0.10%, which is safeto feed to all animals if adequatefeed and water are available.

Any of the labs will continue totest forages for Nitrates.
