Our local disaster zone, Dewey Decker, is one of the kindest-hearted guys you ever met, but … things happen when Dewey’s around. No one can forget how Dewey managed to get his dad’s pickup stuck in the only mudhole in the county during a three-year drought, and tongues are still wagging about him turning over the grease truck on the interstate on-ramp. He’s finally settled into being what he calls an “entre-manure” handling truckloads of cow manure from the feedlot and dairy into town and turning it into quite a successful business, which now includes fishing worms, compost, fertilizer tea, and other branch services. So, recently, when we headed into the Mule Barn truck stop for our morning coffee, we were surprised to see our resident cowboy, Steve, moaning and holding his head in his hands. “What’s wrong?” “Dewey,” he moaned. Sometimes there’s a complete novel in the pronunciation of a single name. It turns out Bob Milford out at the Diamond W put out the word locally that he could use some help with the spring gather and branding. Steve and Dud both went to help, but so did Dewey. Bob didn’t know what to do with Dewey, but finally put him on a gentle horse. After all, it’s been two years since Dewey helped Bob with the branding and managed to vaccinate Dud for blackleg. “We were doing all right and working along this ridge,” said Steve, “when here comes ol’ Dewey just a-foggin’ it and he tell us we have to help him because he has a cow up a tree.” Oh yeah. This is gonna be good. “Seems Dewey choused this old black baldy cow right off this big rock outcropping and she landed in the forks of a tree below. He was almost hysterical. So we looked at this wreck and Bob told Dud to go back to the truck and get the chainsaw. “And you should’ve heard Dewey begging us not to cut up the cow because it was all his fault.” Steve grinned and shook his head. “We just let him go on like that until we cut the tree down.” www.missourivalleyshopper.com www.missourivalleyshopper.com Reuse.

Mediation Services Available For Farmers And Ranchers PIERRE, S.D.- The South Dakota Department of Agriculture’s Agricultural Mediation Program is available for farmers and ranchers in financial distress. “The Agricultural Mediation Program has been around since the 1980s; although it has evolved over the years and added additional areas to mediate,” says Nina Fromm, mediation specialist for SDDA. “Mediation is a great way to resolve disputes outside of the court system by providing a neutral third party mediator to facilitate a resolution. It’s confidential and mediation fees are minimal compared to litigation.” Agricultural Mediation Program areas include debtor/ creditor, federal lands, oil and gas and water drainage mediation. Mediation is mandatory for any agricultural credit over $50,000. Mediation is voluntary for any credit under $50,000. Mediation for the program areas of water drainage, federal lands, and oil/gas are all voluntary. “We have seen an increase in mediation requests over this last year. It’s important our farmers and ranchers know this program exists with the continuation of low commodity prices,” said Fromm. “Financial counseling services are also available for clients in mediation. This service is free and is an important tool when looking at options.” More information on the department’s Agricultural Mediation Program and any of the financial programs the department has to offer can be found at http://sdda.sd.gov/ ag-development/ or by calling the Division of Ag Development at 605.773.5436.
