Grego said. “However, children can drown in
as little as one inch of water and are also at

Bureau Safety Services director. “They take
shortcuts, and that’s what gets you.”
When working with power tools, wear
safety equipment like goggles and hearing
protection, and make sure all guards are in
place on tools, he said.
“Keep power tools in good shape. If they’re
broken or have frayed cords or other parts
are not in good shape, get it fixed or replace
the parts.”
When using ladders, make sure the ladder
is in good condition and is the appropriate one
for the project. Do not stand on top of or on
the second-from-the-top rung of a folding
ladder, and make sure there are no power
lines overhead.
When doing woodwork, keep the shop
clean. Sawdust is a fire hazard, Grego warned.
“Besides, when the shop is clean, it’s easier
to get your work done and you’ve got fewer
tripping hazards.”

as when using solvents or paints.
Avoid using cheap extension cords,
especially with a high-power tool on the other
end. Use a heavy-duty extension cord that is
at least 12-gauge, and when working outdoors
use an outdoor extension cord.
“Extension cords that are stretched across
a driveway and then driven over become a fire
hazard, because the cords break down,”
Grego said.
When doing yard work, pick up hazardous
items such as large sticks and toys, and keep
children away from all lawn equipment.

Improper release of
feral swine is a felony
FARM CITY
FESTIVAL
L
klahoma’s State Veterinarian says she
suspects some people may be
committing felonies without being
aware of it as they move feral swine for
commercial or hunting purposes.
“From the phone calls we receive and
recent public comments it is clear there are
people who do not know it can be a felony to
release feral swine unless it is on a licensed
sporting or breeding facility or a licensed
buying or gathering station or slaughter
facility,” said Dr. Becky Brewer, Oklahoma
Department of Agriculture, Food, and Forestry.
“The penalties for violators can be up to two
years in prison and a fine of $2,000.”
Under last year’s HB 1914, no one can
release feral swine onto any unlicensed
premise. She said there is at least anecdotal
evidence that some private landowners are
releasing feral swine in areas where the

and productive career. Another agency
manager, Larry Hays, also came to extend his
congratulations. Larry and Van along with

animals can escape and damage nearby
landowners’ properties.
“We have been contacted by several
landowners who say they suspect their
neighbors are releasing feral hogs that are
causing damage to their property,” Brewer
said. “So far we have not confirmed these
cases but law enforcement and our
Investigative Division will look into any
suspected criminal activity.”
Some licensed commercial sporting
operations import feral swine from other
states. The law requires anyone importing
feral swine into Oklahoma to have a
Certificate of Veterinary Inspection
containing a written entry permit from the
state of origin, individual identification of
each animal and negative brucellosis and
pseudorabies test results.
Disease testing must be done within 15
days of importation. Brewer said any animal
testing positive for either of the two diseases
must be immediately sent to slaughter or
slaughtered on the premises.
HB 1914 also gives landowners the option
of hunting feral swine at night, a practice that
in many cases can make it easier to control
the pests. Permits from the Oklahoma
Department of Wildlife Conservation are
available on request of local game wardens.
Some people may be committing felonies without being
aware of it as they move feral swine for commercial or

Getting the most from private forests
oo many Oklahoma landowners are
literally cheating themselves out of
cash each year because they don’t
understand the value of trees and timber,
said State Forester John Burwell with the
Oklahoma Department of Agriculture,
Food and Forestry. Resources are available
to help landowners receive fair market
value for timber.
“Our biggest problem in the state right
now is that a large percentage of the
T
state’s tree harvests are done without the
advice of a professional,” he said. “Often a sale
consists of a logger or logging company making
a landowner an offer for his trees.
“Thinking the offer is a lot of money the
landowner takes it,” Burwell said. “In most
instances a professional forester can get a

their property. The Oklahoma Forestry Services can provide
information to help landowners.
higher price by marking the trees, putting
out bids and letting competition dictate the
sale price.”
There are many quality-of-life benefits from
forests and timberland as well, he said.
“Far too many people fail to realize the
benefits besides wood production their trees
are having on their land and in the community
around it,” Burwell said. “Timber is a valuable
resource for wildlife habitat, water, air and
wood production. When trees are properly
managed, you receive those benefits and
realize a greater profit at harvest time.”
The first step to effective tree farming for
most landowners is to locate a professional
forester for advice and an evaluation of their
property. In some cases involving small
acreages ODAFF foresters can provide the
information. For larger operations they can
help guide the landowner to private forest
consultants for help.
After that, the landowner can discuss both
short-term and long-term goals for timber
production and get an evaluation of the land
from the professional forester. Burwell said
determining the types of trees on the land and
identifying potential problems that could
impair growth are keys to increasing the
productivity of any timber stand.
The forester will then outline recommended actions in a forest management plan.
Ultimately the timber will likely be harvested
for sale and at that point the goal will be to
maximize the landowner’s income.
“Not waiting for the timber to reach
maturity is the single most costly mistake we
see timber owners make,” he said. “That’s a
mistake that won’t happen to someone using a
professional forestry consultant.”
For information on managing your
forestland or locating a professional forester,
contact Oklahoma Forestry Services at 405522-6158 and ask for the OFS forester who
serves your area or a list of private consulting
foresters.
Information about managing private
forestland also is available on the Internet at

griculture Secretary Ed Schafer said
USDA’s announcement for signup
beginning June 25 in the 2008 Direct

helps deliver certainty for the crop year and
the option of a timely advance payment.
Contracts are available at USDA Service
Centers and signup will continue until Sept. 30.
USDA’s DCP readiness follows the

its employees do best: putting policy into
action and delivering results.”

contract at any USDA Service Center.
Producers can also sign-up online.
They can choose payment options, assign
crop shares and sign and submit their
contracts from any computer with Internet
access. They can also view and print
submitted contract options.
USDA computes DCP payments using base
acres and payment yields established for each
farm. Eligible producers receive direct
payments at rates established by statute
regardless of market prices. For 2008, eligible
producers may request to receive an advance
payment of 22 percent of the direct payment
for each commodity associated with the farm.
USDA will issue advance direct payments as
soon as practical after enrollment. Final direct
payments will be issued after Oct. 1, 2008.
Counter-cyclical payments vary depending
on market prices, and are issued only when
the effective price for a commodity is below
its target price (which takes into account
the direct payment rate, market price and
loan rate).
Since 2002, USDA has issued approximately $40 billion in DCP payments to
America’s agricultural producers. Participants
must submit the completed DCP contract by
Sept. 30. Applications filed after this date will
not be approved.
The online, electronic DCP (or eDCP)
service saves producers time, reduces
paperwork and speeds contract processing at
USDA Farm Service Agency offices. It is
available to all producers who are eligible to
participate in DCP and who obtain
eAuthentication accounts.
The electronic service is available by going

conserving our natural resources.
“Farmers and ranchers were the first
environmentalists and are the primary
stewards of our natural resources, but we

mosquito biting and repels two kinds of
ticks has been found by Agricultural Research
Service (ARS) scientists.
A patent (US 7,378,557 B1) was issued on
May 27 for the compound, isolongifolenone,
and partners are being sought to bring this
technology to commercial production.
In laboratory tests, ARS chemist Aijun
Zhang in the Invasive Insect Biocontrol and
Behavior Laboratory, Beltsville, Md., and his
colleagues discovered that the naturally
occurring compound deters the biting of
mosquitoes more effectively than the widely
used synthetic chemical repellent DEET. The
compound also repelled two kinds of ticks as
effectively as DEET.
Insect repellents are used widely to prevent
bites from mosquitoes, sand flies, ticks and

other arthropods. For the most part, people
apply repellents just to avoid discomfort, but
there is a more serious side to the use of these
products. Human diseases caused by bloodfeeding ticks and mosquitoes represent a
serious threat to public health worldwide.
Malaria is the chief threat, killing
approximately two million people per year and
threatening billions. Other diseases include
dengue fever, chikungunya, Lyme disease and
typhus. Some segments of the public perceive
efficient synthetic active ingredients as
somehow more dangerous than botanical
compounds, giving additional importance to
the discovery of plant-based isolongifolenone.
Zhang’s team also developed an easy and
efficient method to prepare this repellent.
Many natural-product chemicals isolated from
plants and essential oils have proven to have
repellent effects. Most often, such compounds
never attain commercial development and
their use is limited or impractical because
they are expensive and not available in pure
and large quantities.
In contrast, this newly-discovered repellent
can be prepared inexpensively from pine oil
feedstock in ton quantities for large-scale
commercial applications, giving it a significant
advantage over many of the other naturalproduct repellent chemicals.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention estimate that E. coli O157:H7
causes nearly 73,000 illnesses every year in the
United States.
Following a 1993 outbreak, the USMARC
scientists launched a massive investigation
into the pathogen. Their work was the first to
show that the principle source of E. coli
O157:H7 in ground beef is fecal contamination
on cowhides.
Before, most intervention efforts had
focused on eliminating the pathogenic bacteria
from feces. The new findings led to a paradigm
shift and the development of improved, hidetargeted intervention techniques to reduce
and eliminate pathogenic E. coli O157:H7 and
other dangerous microorganisms.
The hide-washing system works by using a
high-pressure-water wash that removes excess
organic matter from the cattle’s hides, which
are then sprayed with an antibacterial
compound.
The scientists also have demonstrated that
several chemical compounds can be effectively
used for pathogen removal.
